Network Connections and Wireless Networks

Since the last time I ran Windows Update, Network Connections and the
Wireless Networks icons do not show up in the icon tray. With that, I can't
connect wirelessly to my network. My router and wireless adaptor drivers are
up to date. Also, when I open network connections from the control panel, and
click on show network connections, it doesn't show anything.

Any thoughts? Dave.

The first thing to do is check that everything is working. If you don't see
any wireless networks in range, maybe there isn't one. I find that
unplugging everything, modem, router, computer and then plugging everything
back in. Also be sure your wireless network is enabled. I once accidentally
shut mine off on my laptop without knowing it. I hit a key that turned off
the hardware so that I couldn't turn it on in network connections until I
got the hardware back on.
