laptop connecting prob

GunJack

^^^^^ YES !!!! probably one of the menu items if you right-click on the wireless connection (in network centre, manage network connections) will be Enable then follow the steps in my last post

cmatt

what make is the laptop? reason i ask as there is probably a switch either on the side of the laptop or a certain key press to enable/disable wireless.

sorry cant find wireless connections

GunJack

^^ where, in the network and sharing centre or when (with the wifi enabled) you search for networks ?? Sorry, but you need to be more specific...
