Win XP can be a little "funky" re the wireless connections. My Travel
Buddy had an older laptop with XP SP2 and somehow it lost the ability to log
onto secure networks (like the one i have in my RV using a Cradlepoint Router
and Verizon USB 720).
Her XP laptop could see the wireless network, but did not put up the box to
enter the network security key..
That laptop finally bricked and we got her a nice 15.6" screen Toshiba for
$299. Runs Win 7. Does a great job.
Another "trick" I have seen work well, is to go into Network Connections
and delete them all. Then reboot the computer and at some point XP may ask
you for the install disk because the Network Connections are missing. Or
it may install them from the "cab" files if they are still on your laptop.
The "cab" files are the original installation files from the manufatirer.

We have a laptop running Windows XP SP2 (I think SP2). It crashed today
and I had to re-install Windows.
It used to have a link to view and connect to wireless connections. It was
right on the Start menu, right under the Control Panel link. Now it is not
there. How do I get it back and what do I do to be able to view wireless
again? The wireless light is on.
