Just got a new router from PN as old one playing up. Our new laptop connected hunky dory, but when trying to connect our old laptop I punched in the code number when prompted and absolutley nada.....not only that when I wenttot view available wireless networks ours and all surrounding ones had vanished, saying it couldn't detect any wireless networks!
On our new laptop everything is fine, can see all networks and connects ok....so what the heck has happened to the other laptop. I did turn on and off the wireless on the laptop but to no avail.
Any idea what has happened/what I've done wrong and how to get back online wirelessly from the other laptop?

Did you turn the wireless on and off from an interface or via a switch on the laptop?

I have an IBM laptop and when that happened to me I also had to re-enable it though the computer.

"windows can`t find any networks"...
After playing around with the wireless switch, off, then on, and re-booting, nothing.... then I remembered that I have two ways of "managing" the wireless network.. it can be done with the Windows standard network manager, or it can be switched to Dell wireless manager.... and you actually "choose" the manager... "allow this to manage your wireless network"...
Not sure if the Evesham has similar wireless network manager.... might be worth checking in your "systems" or control panel > networks ( or maybe Evesham Wireless Card)
You may also know that Evesham Computers has ceased trading a couple of years ago, however some of the senior staff have started a company together, that will repair Evesham products... (probably at a cost to the customer) They have a website

Ok, so I uninstalled to re-install the driver, no change. I tried to revert the wireless driver, would'nt let me.I disabled and then enabled it, but nothing. I did a system restore on the laptop. This resulted in finding wireless networks, but yet again as soon as I keyed in my wireless key it could no longer detect any wireless networks.
How do I check whether my laptop supports 802.11b or 802.11g....whatever they are, to see if this solves it!?
The only serial number visible is MS-10391B
