I am connected wirelessly to the internet via my router and Laptop. Although I am worelessly connected and the internet is working fine, I cannot view any Available Wireless Networks (Not even the network I am connected thru is showing up) I travel a lot and this is a concern of mine since I work remotely and have to connect to the internet thru various wifi area's and/or Hotel wireless networks. HELP

I see
my prob. i similar-is it like this

I know that the wireless network is there because the other computers in my network can see it just fine. All of the other computers that see the network are vista. I looked at information about my wireless card using Lavalys Everest and the windows device manager, but i can not see anything directly wrong with the actual device. Then i ran and ipconfig, which showed me that all of my network card, WHICH ARE HARDWIRED TO THE MOTHERBOARD can not be found! I then got out a USB wireless adapter and plugged it in. I could not use it with Windows Zero Configuration, but it works completley smoothly connecting with the Linksys USB device manager. I think that this may mean that my installation of WZC is corrupt, but i think that I am going to have to find a way to reinstall it.
