    Im trying to setup a wireless connection through a desktop computer running Windows XP/Linksys router to my NR110ES Vaio laptop.

    When I get to a certain part of the setup, Iam uable to get the adaptor to connect. Even after turning on the switch. Its apparently turned off or disabled somehow. The odd thing about it is when I turn on the computer the wireless adaptor light is on but, switches off after Vista loads.

    Any ideas? What can I do to enable the wireless adaptor?

    Is there a wireless key on the keyboard, such as with Fn?

    did u see the network icon at the bottom corner, right click mouse on it then select connect to wireless network, pick your network then connect it, highlight remember this network, next time Vista will auto connect.
