    Hi! This is my first post here, my name is Przemek :)

    Just to ask. I just bought this machine and I'm very satisfied but... There's some problems with the wireless. Nothing in the Network Connections, no tray Wireless icon. The wireless icon below the LCD keeps flashing but i can't connect to anything because there's no way. I've heard something about clicking "Use Windows to manage your wireless connections" but i can't find it. I uninstalled ThinkPad Connection Utilities but still nothing. Anybody can help please? :(

    Thank you all in advance!

    The MS zero config utility can be found under Admin services. Check to see if it's set to auto or start it up manually and see if that helps.

    That's the thing - it's already started, it's set for Automatic, the wireless adapter is on but seems not to be active. There's no list of available networks, nothing :(
