I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with windows xp pro, and a dell 1450 wireless
card installed. I have a belkin wire/wireless router. I turn on the laptop, and the wireless won't connect to the internet. It doesn't show any networks in range. Please help. A few facts: The rotuer is loacted right next to the laptop. Other computers in the house using belkin wireless cards connect to the internet no problem. Any help would be great. Thanks! =?Utf-8?B?RGllc2Vs?= |

or ssid broadcast is turned off on the router?? turn it back on. no, that doesn't make you less secure. or bad card? try swapping with one from a machine that works.

Does your model Inspiron have a wireless on-off button? If it does, is it on?
