I need help. I have a wireless network (a Centrino notebook, a desktop computer, and a Linksys Router). Everything is working out fine until I upgraded my notebook's OS from Windows XP Home Edition to Window XP Professional Ed. After upgrading, I cannot connect to the network anymore, when I click on the Wireless Network Connection icon, everything is disabled, the only button I can click on is the CANCEL button. What am I doing wrong? Please.. i need help..

Try disabling the "Wireless zero configuration" service (if you are not familiar with the services snap-in, go to start, then run, and enter services.msc in the new box. Once you stop that service, see if you get any added configuration options.
