    What is that name of the adapter? Where did you get the driver?

    Quote
    Network Interface Built in 56Kb Modem, Built in Gigabit LAN
    Wireless LAN Built-in Acer InviLink Wireless LAN (802.11b/g)

    It has a built in adapter! When you re-install XP per the makers instructions it should have installed the wireless automatically.

    Maybe you did not do the install properly or theadapter is bad.
    Can you see the adapter in the device manager?

      If you are running the 64bit Vista, you must use the right driver.
      http://download.cnet.com/Broadcom-802-11g-Network-Adapter/3000-2112_4-162122.html
      But your first post indicates that you are using XP bot Vista.
      He is a blurb got from http://www.notebookforums.com

      Wireless Adapter Driver
      http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/tm_3270.html
      then select "Wireless Lan Driver 802bg Broadcom Ver.4.100.15.5V4.0"
      The driver name is:
      Wireless Lan Driver 802bg Broadcom Ver.4.100.15.5V4.0.zip
      Is that the one yu used? Don't forget to extract the file.
      Hope that helps.

      "softpedia"? "Cnet"?

      Drivers should ALWAYS be downloaded from the manufacturer.
      I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.

      The CNET site gives useful info that is hard to find otherwise.
      But the driver is from Acer.

            What did you use to restore the operating system; a recovery partition on hard drive, a recovery disc from laptop manufacturer, or a retail Windows XP install CD ?

                You need to download and install the motherboard drivers for Acer Aspire 4310 notebook (and Microsoft Windows XP Professional x32) from the Acer website.  Install "chipset" first, then any built-in peripherals.

                For "United States" , start here.

                Or pick your country from within http://www.acer.com, select "Go" button at bottom of web page, select equivalent of "Service & Support" from navigation menu at top, then select one of the "Driver Download" links.

                Once on first page of "Driver Download" navigation sequence, select:
                    o  Notebook
                    o  Aspire
                    o  Aspire 4310
                 and then confirm the selection sequence.

                Then select "Microsoft Windows XP Professional x32" as your operating system.

                Look for category "Chipset".  Assuming you have Intel chipset, the latest "Chipset Driver" listed is version "8.2.0.1012".

                Look for category "Wireless LAN".  Notice there are three different vendors listed.  Pick the vendor installed within your laptop.  For "Broadcom", the latest "Wireless LAN Driver" listed is version "4.102.15.61".

                Now look for and download drivers for all other devices built-in to your motherboard.

                Remember, install the "chipset" drivers first, then the others.
