    What wireless network are you trying to connect to, and what sort of router (make/model) does it use?

    The ipconfig is not much help --it basically tells us your wireless is not connected.

    Is anyone connected to your wireless network?

    Your wireless router is a att dsl 2wire? Not all of them have wireless, but even those that do, is the wireless function on? As I recall, it is off by default.

    You sly dog, you! Pulling the likely router type out of the ipconfig data, I assume from the Connection-specific DNS Suffix for the Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection* 6, eh? :)
