Wireless Network Adapter Trouble

Is the wireless adapter enabled?  Is the wireless radio turned on (the Fn F2 key combination toggles the radio on and off)?

To help troubleshoot this problem, go to Start > Run and type cmd then click OK. In the command prompt window that opens, type ipconfig /all then hit the enter key. Write down the output from this command or select it and save it to a txt file, then copy this output into a reply to this message.

Since some wireless cards disable themselves if they detect a wired etherent connection, you need to run the ipconfig command with the wired connection unplugged.
