wireless network connection not working

I'm hopeless with technology so hoping someone can help me in plain speak.

My Sony Vaio is no longer connected to the Internet and despite trying to reconnect via the Network Connections in the control panel it won't work.

I also have an iPad and that is working perfectly well (thank goodness) but I do need my laptop for work.

My broadband provider is tiscali and I have a wireless router.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

go to START, then RIGHT-click mouse on MY COMPUTER/PROPERTIES. In DEVICE MANAGER go to NETWORK CONN or CARD and search for your WIFI card . then again RIGHT CLICK on it and uninstall device. It will ask something about warning bla bla... wont work bla bla.

If it is uninstalled restart your computer and let windows install it again, this will be done automatically.

When it is installed again try to reconnect

good luck
