    I need help with my laptop. There's this little icon in the bottom righthand corner that says it's the 'Wireless LAN Connection Indicator'. But there's a red X across it.

    The problem is that it won't let me access a wireless connection, and I don't know how to fix it. Any ideas?

    Is there a wireless network in your area that you should be able to connect to? Double clicking the icon should bring up a list of all wireless networks it can detect.

    If there is nothing, then obviously you have nothing to connect to.

    It could also be that there is a switch in software or hardware that turns your wi-fi card on and off.

    There is a wireless network that I should be able to connect to. When I click on the icon, nothing happens even when I right click on it.

    The laptop is a Packard Bell EasyNoteR4. The wireless worked fine up until broadband was put into the house, and the guy used my laptop for something.

    If it's just a switch, can I do it myself or do ya think I'll need to call them out again?

    Thanks guys!
