I have a Dell Inspiron 1500 laptop, and run off of wireless internet. When I turned my computer on I had a blue screen (not the fatal one) but it disappeared shortly after, and I couldn't read what it said. The computer loaded normally after that and nothing is wrong except I can't access the internet. I checked all the cables and rebooted the linksys router. I checked the LAN connection and it says there is a network cable is unplugged. Let me know any solutions or information I would need to provide. Thanks in advance.

Right-click the LAN connection and see if it has "Repair" in the menu. Select that and let it complete. I have an Icon in the lower right which I use to gain access to my wireless connection when I'm using it.

The repair option is dimmed out. My only options are to enable/disable the connection.

Probably it's dimmed out because it has been disabled?? Try using the Enable selection and see if it will rebuild connection. Do you use Windows LAN setup or can you access the manufacturer's utility which will show you a lot more. I use Belkin's that came with the PCI wireless card and is installed from CD when I installed the wireless card. Was a lot easier to use than the Windows one.
