TCP/IP Connection not functioning

Hello,
My wireless connection is not connected. No wireless connections are found.
I went to my friend's and was automatically connected to his wireless
connection and when I came home, my connection will not connect. This has
not been a problem before. I have shut down and unplugged my laptop, the
modem and router. I am using Window XP and IE7. I looked in the TCP/IP
connection and no nothing is showing. Please help me resolve this.

Thanks,

does your laptop have a hardware switch or key combination that
turns the wireless off and on? what laptop do you have? what version
of windows?

The network adapter for the TCP/IP configuration is in a Media disconnected
state.

what did you do at your friends house? were any changes made or
programs installed? did you share files and possibly pick up a
virus? have you installed any updates? what anti virus and/or
firewall do you use? what router?

I routinely go to my friends and have never had a problem aquiring my
network automatically when I get home.
New updates were security updates on 10/11 for WIE7, Windows XP on 10/11 and
10/13/ and Word 2002 on 10/10.
--Norton Antivirus (I turned off the firewall trying to get the connection)
US Robotics.

Jack, I saw this in one of your previous postings and have tried it. This is
how I discovered I had the media disconnected state. Everything else was ok
up until that point.

Hi
That usually means that there is a mismatch between your Wireless source
(Wireless Router/Access Point) and the configuration of the Wireless Card on
the computer.
May be this can Help.

what security method do you use on the router? you might want to
reset the router to factory defaults and then reset up security on
both the router and the laptop. also, sometimes turning off the
Norton firewall isn't enough, you have to uninstall it or explicitly
permit the local subnet.

One more thing I found out. My friends were able to connect to my wireless
connection, so it must be something with my laptop. I have no "active"
wireless network in my network listing. Could you please give me step by
step instructions on how to fix this. I'm not real familar with wireless
connections. My desktop is wireless and doesn't have a problem with the
connection.

Thanks for your help,
