That's not what I meant. Many laptops have a switch or hotkey
combination that turns the wireless on and off, and it's all to easy to
accidentally or unknowingly turn it off. Check your documentation for
something like that, and be sure your wireless is turned on.
Also, it can be helpful to take your laptop to a public Wi-Fi hotspot
(e.g., public library), and see if you can get it to connect there.
