What version of Windows are you using? Windows XP has got some issues with it's Wireless Card Wizard thingy...

Also you may try re-running the configuration software that came with your card...

I don't have a wireless card though... so... uhh ;o not an expert...

I don't run XP but you might try uninstalling the update to see if that repairs the problem. Most "Hot Fixes" you are able to uninstall unless it's part of a Service Pak. I however do not recomend using the Recovery Console to do this. You will just end up making duplicates of .dll files and can cause more problems in the long run.

Hope this helps in some way.

Try cycling power on the wireless router or access point...or both...maybe the modem, too. "Cycling" means pull the power plug, wait a couple of seconds, then plug it back in. If someone else is on the network downloading something big, you might want to let them know ahead of time.

I have to do this with my wireless router about three or four times a week just to get on the Internet with my -11b laptop. Something screwy with...something.

Two other people that I know tell me they have to reset the power on their wireless routers from time to time. So, I know it's not just me.
