What is the moble network when u can call all the networks?

"no wireless networks found" ?

• Hello, I am a complete novice and therefore have no idea how to fix this (but I'm hoping it's something absurdly simple which I am just too ignorant to fix!) I've been using an old Dell Latitude C600 laptop with XP and a Belkin 802.11g Wirless card. I've been connected to the internet fine for over a year when suddenly, last week, I started getting the message for "View available networks" "No Wireless networks were found in range - Make sure the wireless switch on your computer is on." A friend came round with a laptop just to confirm that there still ARE several networks within range, and she connected no problem. But I have been unable to work out what has gone wrong with mine. Weirdly, in tinkering about, at one point I could briefly see several networks (but not the one I need to connect to), but now I am back to zero again. The Device Manager says the Belkin card is working fine but if I click on the Belkin card it just says "Scanning" and has no data or statistics. I have tried FN F2 which some forums suggest is a wireless switch for my laptop but this does nothing. I have also made sure the Windows Zero thing is started (which other forums suggest). The network diagnostic says Wireless - Service disabled Wireless - User SSID action User input required:Specify network name or SSID Wireless - Radio off action Manual repair: Turn radio switch on Wireless - Out of range action Manual repair: Ensure wireless network is in range (and in red) Wireless - Hardware issue info Redirecting user to support call and later, Winsock status info IrDA protocol is not found in Winsock catalog and later Network adapter status info Network connection status: Media disconnected I have no idea what any of this means! But if someone could help me I would be amazingly grateful. Many thanks in advance ryko25

• Answer:

  there should be a special key combination or switch to activate or deactivate wireless, especially on laptops. look for a symbol similar to this (link below) http://www.clker.com/cliparts/3/1/e/f/12065581871657764779ispyisail_Wireless_WiFi_symbol.svg.thumb.png above your keyboard (NOT on the screen). if it's orange, then it's probably turned off. you'll have to turn it on, either with a key combination or a switch as i mentioned before
