    Has anyone else had problems with the wireless function on these machines? Mine has twice now experienced this where it simply won't see the wireless network. The last time the problem fixed itself while I was on the phone with tech support and it was fine for a week and a half but it's back. I suspect an internal hardware connection problem. Device profile says the hardware is working properly. The yellow LED indicating wireless signal available does not illuminate and the connections screen says "No wireless networks in range". Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Never mind. I feel rather the fool. I didn't realize the LED on the front is also a 'button' that enables/disables the 3comm wireless card. I now know. Thank you however for the response.

    Respectfully. Mike
