Wireless turned off

My son was using the computer early today and I got back on and could not get on the internet.

Says "Wireless is turned off.  Use the wireless ON/OFF switch to enable it"

I have tried the Fn+F2 and just F2.  I also tried looking for Quickset and I cannot find that either.  Saw similar problems looking through other forums but I don't understand much about computers and can't quite figure out what the solutions are.  I have a Latitude D620.

Help would be great, thanks.

p_wardle89,

Did you try the wireless switch on the left side? Number 6

p_wardle89,

 

Network Cable Unplugged is common and shouldn't be a problem, if using wireless.

 

Try looking at the places to see if the Connection is enabled

 

Also try...

 

Winsock2 How to determine and to recover from Winsock2 corruption in Windows Server 2003, in Windows XP, and in Windows Vista
