I8600 no wireless connection after format/reinstall
I just formated my Inspiron 8600 due to some virus and spyware that I couldn't get rid of. Reinstalled windows, but must have lost the Utility disk to reinstall some of the drivers (video, Network adapter, and wireless adapter). I logged onto the dell site from a different computer and downloaded the applicable drivers for my devices. Seemed to work fine. They are all now recognized
I can't connecto wireless though. When I scan for networks in the area it's real sporatic. Sometimes it comes up with severl, sometimes none at all. I've got the computer right next to my D-Link DI-624. When it does recognize the router the signal streangth is full green bars. However, when I try to connect, it searches and then gives me a message indicating that it cannot connect because the "network may no longer be in range." Everything else is working fine and other computers are able to connect to the same wireless router. I am also not able to connect to my neighbors networks that indicate good signal strength.
Any ideas?

I did not think of trying to install the Chipset drivers for the board. I have the Centrino processor. Is it necessary that I install those before the other drivers? I'll check for updates on the Dell website..
