Cannot Connect to Wireless Network
Hello,
I have a problem with my wireless, and I was wondering if anyone could please help me with it.
I've had my notebook (Inspiron 2200) for several years, and haven't had any problem accessing the wireless network in my home. Then, a few days ago, I accessed the network at a local coffee place - I'd never done that before, but it worked just fine. Now, my computer says that it can't even detect the wirless network even though the DSL Modem on my PC says its active.
I think that's all the pertinent information, though some of it's probably superfluous, and I probably left out something really obvious. If any more information is needed, I'm happy to give it. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
wiredxgirl
- If Windows is managing your wireless networks, open Network Connections, right click you wireless connection, select Properties, then, in the box that opens, click on the Wireless Networks tab. Move your network to the top of the list and move the coffee shop network further down the list. See if that fixes it.Steve

That didn't seem to do anything, although there's always a chance I'm doing it wrong. I'm not sure if I specified this before, but my computers saying that it can't detect any wireless networks at all.Thank you for the suggestions, I appreciate it.

Post the results of a what? Sorry, I have the technical suavity of a concussed kitten.I did the Fn F2 thing. If it's any help, I've connected to a different wireless network since I posted this query, and it worked fine. I think the problem is with the modem, or something.
