    goto start-->programs-->Intel Proset Wireless (might be in the intel folder).

    In the bottom box that is big, you should see a list of networks that your wireless card is picking up. You need to double click on your wireless network (in the bottom box), and enter in any information. This will create a profile, so your card should connect to your network automatically if the information is correct.

    unplug the ethernet cable, turn your wifi card ON, connect to your network and then do and "ipconfig /all" from the command prompt and post your results here.
