Not able to see any networks.....

Question

Up until yesterday my wireless connection worked fine. I have 2 computers, mine being the one connecting wirelessly to the router.  Router is a D-Link DI-624 Xtreme G router. I have a Dimension 5150 connecting to the router with a Dell USB wireless network card(model #1450) 802.11/4/b/g.   My internet connection on my other computer(Computer A) is working fine.  Computer A connects to the router with an ethernet cable. Also my PS3 is able to find my wirless network i had setup with no problem. It is only my computer(Computer B) which is unable to see ANY networks.  I have uninstalled and re-installed the wirless card driver on computer B.   I tried downloading an updated driver from dell's website. I have tried to get an ip address off computer B, but only get an error message of 'Media state............: Media disconnected'   ANy help would be much appreciated. I have tried searching the posts on here, but have not come across anyone with similar issue.   Thanks

I listed the info in the first paragraph. I have a Dell Dimension 5150, the adapter is a Dell usb adapter model 1450.  OS is Windows XP Sp2.    I have tried uninstaling/reinstaling drivers, resetting modem/router, even tried doing a system restore to a few days ago when it was working. Still nothing.

What make and model computer is computer B?  Which make and model wireless network adapter does it have?  Which verison of Windows is it running?  Your message is not clear on these issues.   Steve

But you never said that computer B = Dimension 5150.  Do you have another wireless adapter you can try to see if it is a problem with the adapter?   Steve

No other adapter, but I'm figuring at this point it sounds more like a hardware issue then software, so i'm going to pick up another adapter and see what happens. Thanks
