Dave, Did you try a Google search? I found this specs page: http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11997_div/11997_div.HTML. It implies that the wireless is either optional or different options might be included. I would suggest looking at your System properties (see Control Panel) then under the Hardware tab click on Device Manager. Does it show anything under Network Adapters? That is where you should find any detected hardware.
Good luck, Dick On Thu, Feb 3, 2011 at 8:23 PM, David Grenfell <d.grenf...@hotmail.com>wrote: > Hi guys. > > Yes, I'm still alive.
