wireless connection lost

I have windows xp on my toshiba laptop. I installed a vpn and have been
using my D-link router. I received message that there is an ip conflict.
The message went away, but now I can't access the internet on my laptop. I
tried run and ipconfig/release; however, it has a message that media state:
media disconnected. I tried ipconfig/release and it says no operation can be
performed on network bridge (network bridge 7) while it has its media
disconnected. How do I get another connect again to my router?

I just want to be able to access the internet again. Thanks for your help.

Posting the result of ipconfig /all here may help.

Here is the results of ipconfig/all

host name :toshiba-user
Primary dns suffix:
Mode type:Broadcast
ip routing enabled:No
Wins proxy enabled:No
Ethernet adapter Network Bridge (network Bridge) 7
Media State: Media disconnected
Description: MacBridge Miniport
Physical address: 02-00-39-PC-8D-DO

Hope this clarifies.

are you trying to use the built in Toshiba wireless or a USB
adapter? is the Toshiba wireless turned on? there is either a switch
or combination of keys you press.

I was trying to use the toshiba wireless. The switch is turned on. I tried
to install a USB adapter Belkin to see if it would find a wireless signal but
it would not connect either.

unplug and uninstall the USB wireless adapter. Then, please use
System Restore and try going back to a restore point before you
installed the VPN adapter and started making any changes.
