    I have successfully dual booted my new Inspiron 1720 and everything works great except for the wireless internet. I have the intel Pro ABGN wireless card, and yes I've read a lot of "make XP work on a Dell" threads notably the Guide to a 1420 with XP and "M1330 works perfect w/ XP". I have the drivers installed and dell Quickset installed but quickset doesn't seem to have the function where it scans for wireless networks. When I use "wireless Network connection" to look for networks none are found but If I manually hit the Wi-Fi switch the networks are found but I still can't connect. Please help this is getting very frustrating :mad:
