Problems with Inspiron 6000 wireless
I just formatted my hard drive and reinstalled XP Home from the CDs provided by Dell on my almost new Inspiron 6000.
Everything works fine, I installed all drivers and Device Manager indicates that all drivers are properly installed and that everything is working fine.
However, for whatever reason, I cannot connect to my wireless network. The Intel wireless utility sees it, but cannot connect. The Windows wireless client doesn't even find the network.
Anyone has an idea?
Thanks!

Do you have any form of encryption (WEP or WPA) enabled on your router?
Additionally, I would suggest you update your drivers for your wireless card using the latest version available from the Dell download site.
