No wireless network in range?
 

Im trying to connect to my wireless network but when i try to view available
networks im told that there are no wireless networks in range??

Im using a Dell inspiron 6000 with a Intel pro wireless 2220 802.1 1 b/g
mini PCI Wireless LAN card

I have configured my netgear router that i recieved from AOL. I have also
followed the wireless network wizard instructions. I have been through
everything that AOL have told me to do and well basically they cant do
anymore and i was ask to contact the vendor as there may be a problem with my
wireless adapter? i have check device manager and everything seems as it
should be...no nasty exclamation marks. I have noticed on various posts that
u have to ensure the wireless switch is on? How do i make sure that it is?

Any suggestions would be very gratefull

thanks

You are not alone, try a Google -> Groups search for
dell inspiron 6000 wireless problem

Posts like

.... It seems to me that there's a compatibility issue between the belkin
router and the Windows management of wireless device on the Inspiron
6000. No luck with contacting Dell I'm afraid. ...

There are also Dell users newsgroups.

The first step is to make sure that the wireless adapter in your laptop
is properly installed and turned on. Most laptops have either a
physical switch or a keypress combination (e.g., Fn+F2) that turns the
wireless radio on and off. For more suggestions, see

I have tried presing fn + f2 and received the message "the pro/wireless
network connection is still disabled. Use proset/wireless to enable it" click
ok. I click ok and nothing seems to happen. no green LED lights have come
on..no icons have appeared in my task bar?

Hi
"Intel pro/wireless 2200BG network connection" is probably the Wireless
card.
Follow the other steps on the paged that was linked by Lem.
