Wireless not connecting
i have an inspiron 9200 with windows xp. i re-installed the drivers for Dell Wireless 1450 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI Card, or for wireless anyway. i turned off my firewall and un-installed nortan internet security. but still no wireless. theres 3 other computers (2 inpsiron 1150, 1 5100) and they all have wireless. any other suggestions.

Assuming the SSID isn't hidden on the wireless network you're looking for, you can try pressing Fn-F2 on the laptop. This key sequence is normally a default "soft" switch to turn the wireless radio on and off. If the SSID of the wireless network is hidden, then you won't see it in Windows.

yeh i get the ssid. sometimes i get click here to find a wireless connection or something, i click it and theres no connections.- it is a bug in xp service pack 2 the fix is simple but a bit obscure even if you have disabled the windows firewall go start then control pannel windows firewall advanced untick the wi-fi option restart your computer problem fixed from Gary sales@thurcastonwebsites.com
