I've got an Inspiron 8600, Windows XP Home, SP1.
I disconnected from my wireless network connection by pressing Fn F2, and
now I can't seem to get the signal back. This is the first time I've
done this. (I just wanted to see how the Fn F2 worked. I've been
connecting to my wireless network just fine for nearly 9 months.)
My network connections window has Wireless Network Connection listed, but
as unavailable.
A right click properties shows that I have "Use Windows to configure my
wireless network settings" enabled (as it always has been), but there are
no available networks listed. The network is listed in "Preferred
networks", though.
I have an Inspiron 6000 XP Home, SP2 running right next to the 8600, and
it is connected to the wireless network (strong signal, too) just fine.
What have I done?
Thanks,
Bruce
