    Try using the Wireless Network Setup wizard in Control Panel to reestablish your wireless connection.

    Try putting you CD for the wireless router and re -set your wireless connection back up all the options will be the same from the first time you installed the router so you won't have to go change the settings.

    Thank you everyone for your response/interest.  I got it working.
    Issue was a virus..I believe.
     
    fyi..If your curious.
     
    Symptoms were when i pluged in usb wireless port I got "USB Device not recognised." Gave statement that USB ports were not installed/active. Nor did I have ANY WIRELESS option under networks.
     
    I checked device list and USB ports were there.  Did trend Micro virus search and a few were found.  Prominatly Active was xls.(?).exe.  among others.  I removed that and on reboot theUSB ports were active but i still had no wireless option under networks.
     
    Another virus check and another removal of what i could and on 2nd reboot the wireless option finally majically appeared under networks and I was able to connect.
     
    Can't say with certainty whether Virus was issue but there seems to be a direct correlation...:)
     
    Thanks again for your help/interest.
