    DS Wireless Connection USB Adapter

    I bought this little thing just today and I am already having problems even with installing the software. Basically, about halfway through the installation process it shows up this window that tells me that no internet connection was detected. However, I am connected to the internet, AIM, FFXI, etc etc, as I type this. I use a wireless USB adapter to connect to a router in my house. And also, this might be the problem:

    The software that came with the USB Linksys Adapter detects the internet fine, but as seen in the picture above, no wireless connection is detected by Windows. It used to show up an icon there, but not anymore..Could this be the problem?

    EDIT: Sorry the picture isn't as large as you'd guys want it to be.

    Explain what you mean by a physical connection. I am connected through a USB Adapter from Linksys, that goes through our home router.

    It's not compatible with any XP versions other than XP Home.

    That should solve that.
