My laptop (2006 Thinkpad) was recently infected with some very nasty viruses. I was advised to completely reinstall XP to resolve the problem. After the reinstallation, I loaded back Microsoft Office, Photoshop, etc. However, I can't get my internet connection to work. My laptop was part of a network with three other computers. All four computers use wireless internet and are in close proximity to each other. After I reinstalled XP, I'm not able to see 'Wireless Network Connection' in my Network Connections. The only thing there is '1394 Connection'. My Thinkpad has an inbuilt wireless network adapter that has worked consistently for the last two years. I have no idea why I'm not able to connect to my network. Please help! PS: I'm using another computer to ask this question. Obviously, there is no internet access in my Thinkpad. I am also posting this in the 'Networking' sub-forum. Please forgive the repetition!
