Hi
The wireless connection setting in "Network Connections" on my PC has disappeared.
All was fine until this morning after successfully reading and sending new e-mails and some browsing I left my PC running and returned approx an hour later to it to see if there was a reply to one of my e-mails. However it said the connection could not be made. I clicked on the wireless network symbol in the task bar and the status report said I was connected to my wireless router. However when I then viewed wireless networks it said no wireless networks could be found??
Somewhat confused by this I decided the best thing was to log off and restart the computer. When the computer re-started the wireless network symbol did not appear in the task bar and no internet connection could be made. I then decided to view Control panel - network connections, the wireless connection had disappeared!. Only the ethernet and 1394 options were displayed.
I then decided to do a system restore to a restore point a few days ago.
This completed successfully but there was still no wireless connection shown in the network connections window.
Where has it gone?
I am now using the ethernet connection via long cable. My wifes PC is working quite normally wirelessly with the router.
TIA
