I have been trying to set up a wireless network, things were going ok till yesterday and now when I turn on the Laptop, the wireless icon on the taskbar has gone, and if I look in control panel and network connections it isnt there either.
How can I find it/ get it back

Have you switched it off on the laptop switch/keyboard combination?Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0

Which key/keys would it be, just had a look and nothing obvious0

Mine disappeared earlier today and I spent about half hour re-booting the router etc before I noticed I'd accidentally switched wireless off instead of switching number lock off (yes, I feel stupid
)
Anyway, in case it helps, its Fn+F10 on mine so have a look on your F-keys for a wireless icon.0 -
Is not fn and f10 that mutes the sound and I have tried just about every other key and I dont know what a wireless icon looks like0

Mine looks like a little boat lol
Basically it looks a bit like this turned on its side (((-)0 -
I have looked in device manager and it is not listed, wouldnt it still be listed even if it was just turned off0
