Wireless network is enabled, but does not pick up any wireless connections in range.
Most Laptops have a wireless switch on the side or in front of the Laptop. Some have a Function key (Fn+F5) to turn on the wireless radio.

The 1390 WLAN Minicard may not be configured to communicate with your wireless router.
Check the wireless router settings, (check the wireless settings on your other computer) and configure the 1390 WLAN with the same settings eg. SSID, WEP/WAP encryption, etc.
Is MAC address filtering enabled on your wireless router, if so add the MAC address of the 1390 WLAN to the MAC address list in the wireless router.
Check the TCP/IP properties of the 1390 WLAN card the Internet protocol should not have a fixed IP address, set it to Obtain an IP address automatically including the DNS.
Use the Ipconfig command to see the IP configuration of the network cards.
Use the Ping command to see if you can communicate with wireless router.

For some reason known only to Dell, the default setting for the Inspiron 6000 built-in wireless network adapter is 'off' or 'disabled.'
If you used Dell's restore disk to reinstall XP, the radio button is turned off. Go to control panel/system/device manager, find the wireless LAN device, right-click on it and choose 'Properties.' Under 'Wireless radio' check 'on' or 'enabled.'
Go back to Windows network setup wizard and go back through the steps using the 'restore network connection' button. You should be good to go.
There's an EXCELLENT network manager from Cisco named 'Network Magic' that takes all the guesswork out of setting up your internet connection. I highly recommend it. They offer a free trial and I think may even have a 'Lite' version that helps with simple connections without the bells and whistles of the full blown program. I'm not sure about that, but I can't tell you how much time it's saved me troubleshooting and setting up networks for my clients.

There is a great program called Network Magic that will configure your wired and wireless connections with absolute ease. ALthough it is not a free program, you can use it to sonfigure everything and after the initial 7 day (used to be 30 day) free trial, it will ask you to purchase. You can easily uninstall it through add/remove programs in Control Panel. If you choose to uninstall it, it will not undo the connections it has made, and will not leave any residual program information in your computer. You may decide to keep it though. It is a great program that will keep you informed of many network functions, as well as help with your network security. It will even tell you when others have wirelessly logged on to your network and allow you to create barriers against this. You can find it here: http://www.purenetworks.com/download/thankyou.php
