No wireless networks were found in range

Hi. Please can you help me.

I have a home network that works using my Dell router connected to my
desktop PC with a cable. My laptop can wirelessly connect to my router and
desktop PC fine and so does the desktop.

I have now fitted a wireless adapter card into my desktop as I would like to
be able to move it away from the router into another room. I now get a
small icon on the system tray showing the wireless network connection but it
says no wireless networks were found in range. I have tried setting up the
network again using windows but it does not work. Any suggestions please

I am running XP SP2 on both machines and the router and the adapter are both
802.11g

Thanks

If this is a new card under warranty, call their support ?

If you are not broadcasting your SSID, the network may not be seen. Try
either turning on the SSID broadcast or setting up a profile using it and
the necessary settings.

Hi
First make sure that the Wireless works well at close proximity, then start
moving away.

Many thanks. Your web page was helpful, although it turns out that the
adapter was faulty and a new one sorted it - not that easy to spot though!
