Wireless not connected
Hello,
I have a dell d600 latitude laptop with a dell wireless 1450 dual band wlan mini-pci card. Wireless was working, but I didn't have it (I could see other wireless networks though). I bought a wireless router and connected it to my desktop, but when I went to connect it to my laptop, I get no wireless connection.
If I look at the device manager, it looks like it is working fine, but it won't connect.
The other day I was playing around and added a fake workgroup - but this shouldn't affect things should it? If it does how do I delete the workgroup? What else can I try to get the wireless working? I would uninstall the driver, but I'm not sure which one I need to reinstall, so I haven't tried that.
Thank you!!
Mary

Mary,
You have to setup the wireless router with the instructions. I would recommend that you use these Recommended Wireless Router Settings, it will make connecting much easier. Try using channel 11, since you mention that you are using a wireless mini card.
You can try this and see what happens.
How to repair a connection
Go to start > run > type in cmd >
then at the command prompt type ipconfig /all >c:\list.txt .
That command will create a log in c:\ called list.txt
What do you get?
