compaq v2000 cannot connect to wireless network

[Shutdown]

I have a compaq v2000 laptop and a linksys wireless card(and linksys wireless router) that was working fine. No matter how many times I add the network details, it will not connect. It constantly says there are no networks in range. I have changed the settings and made the network Open, but still no joy. IPCONFIG on the laptop comes up with nothing - it says disconnected. The desktop is working fine, no connection problems.

You need to check whether any of device is not working and to search for that go to Start-> Run-> devmgmt.msc There you will find Network adapters, please tell me all the devices listed. Also, are there any devices anywhere in the Device Manager display with yellow ? or ! displayed? This will let us know which devices are not working..

Thanks for your reply, i have also tried even with the router settings at 'Open or Shared Key', no encryption or anything, the laptop refuses to find the connection. I go in via Network Connections, Wireless Network tab and add the details there - then after I close the boxes, nothing was displayed there.

Try checking out the following things this will help you find the solution.

• Try reseating the wifi card,if you don't know check with the user manual.
• What wifi config application you are using (not the drivers, the application you configure that card with) are you using? Intel? Microsoft?
• I had Intel config app, for you check, if you're using Microsoft, try using Intel (assuming you have the intel card) and vice versa.
• Try uninstalling your wifi config app and reinstall it again.
