Hi

My wireless network card cannot pick the signals from the router/hub. It was working fine couple of days back but now it cannot connect to the network. I've checked the driver of my wireless card as well as reinstalled but somehow it cannot find the signals. I've also tried enabling and disabling the wireless card. The wireless router is just 3 feets away from computer and everybody else can access it and they have got no issue with it. I have tried everything imaginable. My wireless network card is intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Please help

When you try to view available wireless networks does it detect any signal at all? The other thing to check would be whether the notebook has a manual switch to enable/disable the wireless card. Some systems I've seen have one and yours might have been switched to the "Off" position. The first time I came across this situation I had checked device manager, reinstalled drivers, pulled out clumps of my ever-diminishing hair, and finally found the On/Off switch.

Also check the wireless router and don't configure the setting to hide SSID. If you need further help, can take a look on these wireless network troubleshooting tips.
