Provide the Service Tag number. Then anyone can go to Dell to see what your hardware is.
Those lights on the Netgear are Power, test, cable link, downstream traffic, upstream traffic, wireless,Ethernet (1 through 4), and USB. I assumed you were providing that critical information if it was available. Notice what happens to lights both on your computer and the Netgear when you disconnect and connect the cable. Important information to you now and in the future. Remember your objective at this point. Is it the Dell or the Netear. Nothing more. That cable is not to fix anything. That RJ-45 Etheret cable is to help determine where the problem is. |

Shawnee,
Can you look on the back and tell me what revision it is? (v1, v2, or v3) |

On the back of the thing sticking out of my tower? There's a 3 there, but no (version) v in front of it.

lol...I'm clueless.
There are a bunch of stickers with UPC codes, that's all I can see. One of them has a 3 on the end. To get a good look I'll have to take it out and look?

The Dell sticker should be on the side of the tower.

The phrase "Service Tag" is followed by the alphanumeric code. Label is typically is pasted on a side panel, as well as in many other locations of the machine.
Service Tag will also be on your sales receipts. Service Tag means important hardware information is obtained direct from Dell AND that all software updates unique to your machine are listed. Service Tag would also provide that Netgear hardware information (if the Netgear was bought with the Dell). |

TW and Bruce,
The purpose of the exercise was to find out what wireless card she had so we could get the latest drivers for it, not the XP tag |

That's what I thought you meant, Mitch. Thus, confusion.
Sorry, I am lost tonight. All your help, from all you people, has been nice, and I thank you.
