Go figure...

I'm using a Belkin wireless card on my laptop (WinXP) at home. I go out of
town (fly) and then my wireless doesn't work at all. I've tried shutting
down the firewall, virus scan, etc., but my wireless utility still doesn't
connect.

Here's the real kicker:

I took my laptop along with the wireless card to Best Buy to let the Geek
Squad check it out...they can't solve the problem! They card worked on their
spares laptops at that!

Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on? They only thing that
happened was that my laptop had to pass through the security x-ray at the
airport...HELP!

I had a Belkin G card do the same thing. It suddenly stopped working
in my laptop that it had been installed in, but worked if I installed
it in another laptop.

If you haven't already, try inserting it in the other slot on the
laptop. Believe it or not, this has worked for me.

Next, if no joy, uninstall it using free "Revo Uninstaller" (google
it). Do their maximum strength uninstall to remove all traces of the
driver and utility in the registry.

Then download and reinstall the most current driver after a reboot.
