    Hi guys,
    my friend has a 1520 Inspiron with the specs listed below and she did a fresh install with MediaDirect and XP and everything seems to have worked fine, but the wireless internet won't connect now. She has tried to install the drivers on the Resource CD and has also looked online for the correct drivers, but so far no luck. Just wondering if anyone out there is able to help, or give suggestions as to what might be wrong? Before the reformat the internet connected just fine...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks guys...
