Vista Tutorial - Can't Find My Home Wireless Network

Yesterday everything was working fine (no restore point to go back to). My
laptop runs Vista Home Premium, Desktop runs XP Professional and a D-Link
DI-524 wireless router. I was trying to configure file sharing between my
Laptop and Desktop and I must have changed a setting in Vista. Now my laptop
can't find/recognize my home network at all. It can find other networks in
the neighbouhood but not mine. Help!

Corrected the problem ..... had to reset the D-Link wireless router (not just
power off), and then Vista was able to recognise the network

I have seen an intermittent similar issue with a Belkin F5D7230-4 wireless
router I am using. The reset fixed the issue of a Vista Ultimate laptop not
seeing my home wireless LAN...

Hi,
Recently my internet and telephone was turned off because of an upgrade in the service and prior to this the internet was working fine. Now that I have new internet my laptop (HP dv9000 series) can't find my wireless network, without any security also. I have tried resetting the wireless router and have even reinstalled vista. I still can't find my wireless network anywhere although I can see other people's wireless networks and the other machines running xp can still access my wireless network.

Thanks.
Gabe
