    The M17x Does Not Seem To Detect Any Wireless Connection Nearby, Even Though My Dlink Dgl-4500 Is Right Next To It. What Is The Problem? A Driver Problem??????

    IT JUST SAYS NO CONNECTIONS ARE AVAILABLE.
    OR SOMETIMES WHEN IT DETECTS THE NETWORK AND WHEN I TRY TO CONNECT TO IT SAYS 'UNABLE AT CONNECT TO DLINK-13(MY ROUTER NAME)

    One of the new Nvidia drivers was causing this to happen on my 17x.
    I restored to a point prior to the installation and everything has been good since then.

    Hey

    Could there be something wrong with IP settings on my laptop? Cause my Macbook Pro is able to connect to the network without any trouble.
