HELP!! No networks available

Question

I see the popup that says Wireless Networks Detected, but I am unable to see any networks when I click on 'View Available Networks.'  My WIFI is on, WZC is started (and his been disabled and re-enabled), and the network card is working.  I don't know what to do.  Please advise.

Is your router set to hide its SSID?   Steve

Log in to your router's configuration settings from a computer connected by ethernet to the router.   Steve

I know it was at one time, but it was supposedly changed back. How do I check?

Jayeboogie · Answer

I did not have to change it.  Any other suggesstions?

Jayeboogie · Answer

It does not have anything listed in the box.  It says no AP's active.

As a troubleshooting step, download, install, and run netstumbler.  You can find it by doing a google search.  See if that program can see your network or any others.   Steve

Steve,   The router is set to 'enable' SSID Broadcast.

Try going into Device Manager and uninstalling your wireless network adpater then rebooting and letting Windows reinstall the drivers.    Steve

That did not work either.  This is really bizarre to me.  What else could it be?

I have an Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG network card and a Linksys Wireless G Router.

Jayeboogie · Answer

OOPS.....   And the laptop is a Dell 700m

Thanks, Vicky.  I am still unable to connect wirelessly.  I tried everything you suggested.  Maybe I need to just call Linksys.  Any other ideas?
