In Device manager, under the network adaptor are you able to see wireless adaptor for your device. - see if it not marked as disable( Red Mark or Yellow Mark)
Also check in network connection wheather you Wireless connection is in Enable or Disable mode,
The same way you disabled it, there should be an icon on your taskbar for enabled and disabled the WLAN switch. If there isnt you need to go to control panel and go to networks, enable wirless router, search for networks etc. If that does work then you have to go into control panel, change wireless settings or change internet settings and find it that way.
verify that your wifi card is enabled in the BIOS, then install the latest driver for it. then try to use the Fix It option from Microsoft to enable WZC to manage your wifi connection : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968682
Most of the laptop wireless switch is on the side of the laptop. If there is no physical switch, press the Fn+F2(wireless symbol) to enable the laptop. Double check the wireless LAN if enabled in the system setup. To access system setup, press F2 while the system is booting-up.
Some Dell inspiron 8600 doesnt have a built in wireless card only bluetooth. But if you have one, just press Fn+F2 and it will enable your wireless connection. Hope this helps.
If your wireless router is configured with SSID, encryption, MAC address filtering (if enabled) etc. then the Dell wireless card needs to be configured with these settings to allow it to communicate with the wireless router.
Check the settings on your PC's wireless settings, and configure the Dell the same way.
This happened to me using a Dell Inspiron laptop. The wireless switch was disabled and the answer was supposed to use both the blue Fn and regular F2 function key to enable wireless connection. I tried Fn and F2 together and it did not work. I tried just F2 alone and it worked.
check DEVICE MANAGER if the wireless card have the right driver installed. if you found that the wireless card have yellow exclamation point on the right it means, you installed a wrong driver.
check also in BIOS if the wireless card is enable and the switch is turn on.
press Fn+F2 to enable wireless radio/anthena (funtion key with wireless icon in blue color)
some dell laptop have hard switch located right side check this and turn the switch on.
if you want to see the icon n task bar, go to control panel....network connection...right click on wireless adapter...select properties...check Show on taskbar
