Is the wireless adapter enabled?  Is the wireless radio turned on (the Fn F2 key combination toggles the radio on and off)?

To help troubleshoot this problem, go to Start > Run and type cmd then click OK. In the command prompt window that opens, type ipconfig /all then hit the enter key. Write down the output from this command or select it and save it to a txt file, then copy this output into a reply to this message.

Since some wireless cards disable themselves if they detect a wired etherent connection, you need to run the ipconfig command with the wired connection unplugged.
