I have a very slow connection at the moment, so search is out for me...my problem is, I bought a used, 10 month old vostro 1000. I am sure it has wifi..(i think) but i tried to use it at a place this morning, and it did not pick up any signal, though others were using it.

How do I tell if I have a problem, or maybe something is unchecked, not turned on or whatever. This has XP on it.

I will be thankful for a place to start looking.

Thanks
