You cant start by filling out your profile....

Sorry dude but I'm not suprised by JMgarvins responce...we've had a couple of people try to pull a fast one.

How bout yanking that wireless card out? You don't need it since your working with ethernet.

Holla Back,

What exactly are you using XP Pro or 2000?

Why do you not have Admin Privileges and more to the point if you reformat and reinstall why then will you not have Admin privileges?

More to the point where is the Wireless hub?

If you look at the specifications of the quoted M'Board there is no wireless connectivity available on it and even if there was there is no way that it could be being used as a gateway to the Internet or even give other people access to your computer.

If you have no other course of action and you don't need the wireless connection, yank the card out. No card, no connection. In fact, the wireless profile should disappear because the adapter goes *poof* when the hardware is removed.
