Wireless help please???

Windows XP HOME SP2 on PC and Laptop

I have been running my new laptop on a wireless network with my PC for about
two months now without problem, but today it says it cannot find a network
connection.

Nothing has changed with my setup and I have tried rebooting PC and Laptop
and even turned off my BT (UK) Router and restarted it but still no network
connection can be found.

My PC is working find and connects ok through the router, but this is wired
and doesn't use a wireless connection

I have no idea what to do next to troubleshoot this problem.

Can some kind person guide me please?

Cheers

Graham

Hi
In General, you can debug the Network Settings of a computer by following
these steps.
Step One. Check the Network parameters in the Computer's Device Manager.
Make sure that the Network Card drivers are installed correctly; i.e. there
is No IRQ conflict, and No Ghost installation.

Step Two. Verify Basic network setting in the OS:

If the above two Steps indicates that every thing looks good but
functionally it does not work.
Step Three. Check (and repair if necessary) the Socket Layers, Winsock, and
or refresh the TCP/IP Stack. http://www.ezlan.net/clean#refreshnet
