3. make sure nic is enabled in device manager

NIC? Network...?

I do have Norton, that may be my main problem (?).

I'm sorry that I suck at this, but I appreciate that you guys are STILL trying to help me out.

Cycle the modem, and router means unplug the power from both for about 10-20 seconds and then plug them back in.

Device manager, Go to My computer, Right click in the white area and go to properties, and then click on hardware and then device manager, and find the network card, and make sure it's enabled.

Nic. the Network card. the wireless card you bought.

I have seen this numerous times, Norton is really bad for this, The firewall built in, I forget what versions can and will prevent you from surfing the internet. Just disable it to see if it works. Never know.

I had this call one time, This family bought a computer, and I did tech support for there isp, and they coudln't connect, They refused to disable norton, because they said that compaq knows more about this than I do, and they wouldn't have put it on the computer if it's faulty, They were really rude. That call stuck with me.
Guess what the problem was? you guess it, NORTON. Fucking Norton.

Norton is a bitch. I currently have Norton Systemworks Premier 2006 and it's given me nothing but problems! Ok, I went to the device manager and on Network adapters I clicked the + and up came Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter with SpeedBooster. I still don't get why the lights aren't on though, does it have to be working for them to be on (be connected with the router)?

Edit: If only they would have listened to you, I swear some people are sp stubborn.

Never used a Linksys nic, So I don't know but I would imagine it would have to be transmitting before the light would blink.

Right click on the device in device manager, MAKE sure it's enabled.
Did you completely disable norton? Or do you have any other firewall protection? I'm sure you don't, but I need to know.

As far as I know no, which could mean most likely, hah. Naw, but seriously I don't think so.

Meaning I don't think that I have any other firewall protection. And I was trying to be funny by implying that I might, because I'm such an idiot when it comes to this stuff that I wouldn't know if I did or didn't...not funny I know. Hah. I know for a fact that I don't have any other firewall protection. Sorry for the confusion, hopefully you're no longer confused.

I went through the D-LINK setup and it finally completed so I walked into my room to see if I was getting a signal. I did have one, but about a second after I looked it disconnected. Hah.

If you keep getting disconnected your router may be getting interference from one of your neighbours... In the router config, change the channel the wireless broadcasts on. On some wireless cards, you will also need to change the channel on the PC that you're connecting from.

No. Instead I took out the PCI card and plan on returning it. Oh well, I'm broke at the moment so I could use the money. I can always use this Internet.
