It depend a little upon the OS, but generally for Win98 and above TCP/IP is automatically added correctly when you install the network card.

What's the OS and did you install the network card already?

With XP you should be fine with TCP/IP being installed when the NIC is (and it will be set for DHCP by default).

Wireless cards are much more common for laptops. The Ma401 would normally be used in a laptop's PC card slot. I believe the PCI card you mentioned is not really a wireless card but merely an adaptor that allows you to use the PC card in a desktop. Hope that helps.

Sorry. I tried to make that clear in your other thread...Originally posted by DVNT1
many places... http://www.Insight.com , http://www.cdw.com , http://www.microwarehouse.com , etc.. even B&M places like Staples often carry them

Just search for a 802.11b wireless network card. keep in mind many are just the PCMCIA version and those often need an adapter to work with a desktop PC. Others are made for a PCI or ISA slot.

The wireless PC cards that require an adapter may be more expensive in the beginning but that at least allows you to reuse that adapter later if you upgrade the wireless network.
