9300 and no wireless connections whatsoever

Question

Recently bought a 9300 with a 2200 wireless card and have not been able to connect to a wireless connection anywhere. We get access with a mac computer from a school connection everyday and the 9300 doesn't even show a signal in the area. How do i know if my card is on or my antenna? What else could i be overlooking. Thanks for any help

Just to make sure, have you enabled the wireless card? (I think it is CNTRL/F2 or something close to that). You should hear the familiar lower-ding/higher-ding sound when enabling the card. When the card is enabled, there should be a popup indicating that wireless connections are available.

Do you see anything like this?
