    Ok so I got my refurbished Midnight Blue Inspiron 1521 today from the Dell Outlet, its amazing, looks new. Anyway I can't seem to connect to a network through the regular supplied Vista Network Utility. The Dell Wireless Utility detects the network I want to connect to while the Vista Utility does not. However, the Dell Utility is not meant to connect to networks because it does not have anything such as a connect to button, only the Vista Network Utility has that. So I was wondering if there is anything I can do to help solve this problem, maybe a driver upgrade or something, I just downloaded the latest BIOS update so Ill see how that goes. Any help is appreciated! Thanks
