cannot connect laptop wireless any more?? Now I get message saying "renewing your IP address" I may have also clicked a checkbox saying "turn off radio when ethernet cable is connected" and cannot find it anymore?

Hi, What is your operating system? I suggest you try system restore to go back to a previous time point to check the result. Also, please reinstall the wireless adapter driver for test.

Hello tonyingulfport, First of all welcome to the Microsoft TechNet forums. We are here to help you. Please verify if the wireless switch on your laptop is switched on. Also please check if there is any third party software that may control your wireless connection. Do you get your ip-address by means of a DHCP-server or is it static? With kind regards, Laurenz
