Is the wireless switch turned on for the laptop?

Next, did you go in and mess with any of the settings when you ward sired it?

Finally, Run your network wizard and see if you need to adjust your settings. Im on a comp with windows 2000 so I cant be of anymore help right now.

Well I fixed the proxy issue, and now its just not connecting wirelessly to the router. I will restart the router, as soon as im done installing my virus protection.
