    It is a software problem, not hardware.

    Yup, they won't take it back if it's a software problem, at least not without charging you to look at it (even then they'll probably just reformat and reinstall Windows which you could do yourself)

    Try albertross's last suggestion and let us know what happens:

    I'd try to sort out the wired first, plug it in, do

    start, run, cmd
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew

    ipconfig

    see if it allocates you a 192.168 address.

    The ethernet (wired) and wireless are two separate pieces of hardware. So if neither work then it's almost certainly a software problem.

    What happened when you tried albertross's suggestion?
