I recently did a reinstall on my laptop because it was in need of a cleanup. Previous to the reinstall, the laptop functioned perfectly on a wireless network. I used the operating system reinstall cd provided my Dell. I am now trying to connect my laptop to the internet and it isn't working. I have high speed from Comcast in my home, a Motorola modem and a Linksys router. My laptop does not recognize that there is a wireless network in the area. When I connect the cable directly from the router to my laptop jack it does not recognize it has an internet connection. I have tried running windows network connetion setup wizards but they have been no help for the problem. There is another computer on the network that connects with the Internet flawlessly. Help? Thank you

You probably didn't reinstall the drivers for the network adapters. How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.

And how do I do that...? Sorry. Not very skilled in this area.

If you have them on a CD, run the CD. If you don't, you have to find them on the net, download them, burn them to a CD & install them. How do you know when a politician is lying? His mouth is moving.
