Regardless, Chris is right. The MAJOR value in a newsgroup reply is for those legions of users who search for a solution to their similar problem for what is sometimes years into the future. If a thread is "highjacked", the answer to a problem may get buried in answers to a different problem. If answers pertain to a particular problem, all in their own correctly categorized thread, they become solutions to future users' problems as well as the OP's. Think of UseNet as a Google resource, and you'll understand. *TimDaniels*

That's the nature of the beast in usenet quite often. Of course I'm speaking of unmoderated groups. And as far as Google is concerned, it's quite powerful using it's "command lines" and it can find and weed out a lot in searches. I know this because I used it this week.

Chris is technically correct. :-) It's not the usual way of things to have another poster start their topic in an already established discussion belonging to someone else. This is the one thing that is a pretty well agreed upon constant on Usenet. That's not as much a question of moderation as it is of readability. In that vein, things get a lot more difficult when another poster jumps in and poses a totally new question in an already existing discussion thread...and that's assuming the threading stays intact! If someone's news server misses a posting or three (not all that uncommon) then things are really going to start looking off. There are other reasons why this is bad form and should be avoided. I'm sure you can think of them. :-) The topic may in fact drift a little in an established thread, but that is pretty common (in the groups I frequent) and so far as I know, most people are OK with it. The poster of this question should therefore start their own thread for the best possible result. "That is all." William

Hi! > My wife own an inspiron 1545 laptop. She upgraded the > wireless card for an "N" card. What wireless card was used?

Yes, put the original wireless card back into place. > Or is it on soldered on the mother board? I'm wondering if you really replaced the wireless card. No, it is not soldered. It fits into a mini-PCI (or maybe even mini PCI express these days) slot that is covered by a door on the bottom of the computer. If the wireless card had been replaced, you would have had to open that door and physically remove (and later replace) a board. If that didn't happen, the computer may now have two wireless network devices in it, resulting in a hopelessly confused situation. One should be disabled or removed in that case. It is entirely possible that the wireless antennas built into the computer may not be suitable for use with a Wireless "N" network. I think the best thing to do would be to put the old card back into place and use it. William |
