Lost connection to Wireless Internet Access

Having set up my Home Network about 4 or 5 years ago, I lost my WiFi connection and am unable to access my home network and the internet.

My system is a Dell Inspiron 9300 Laptop with wireless capability; I had been using Network Magic Basic for my home network. The WiFi card is an Intel Pro 2200BG, it also has a NIC Broadcom 440x 10/100 integrated contrtoller, but it got zapped by lightning two years ago, however I was still able to connect wirelessly, until late last week; when not satisfied to leave well enough alone, I wanted to recheck the NIC card to see if it was damaged by uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. The NIC card was used when I originally setup my home network. Now when I try to access wirelessly it hangs on “Acquiring Network Address.” I also get ‘limited or no connectivity.’ I have tried most of the suggested ‘fixes’ to no avail.   

Please help!

Thank you,

Bob
