Just replaced my hard drive in a Dell Inspiron 510m. That bit went fine. Windows XP was reloaded from the CD supplied with the PC. Initially had a problem with the Graphics drivers but downloaded those from Dell site. Now cannot get access to my NetGear router. Thought it might be a driver problem again but have the latest drivers for the Wireless adapter- Intel(R) Pro/Wireless LAN 2100 3A Mini PCI Adapter. I am using driver version 1.2.0.56. Ipconfig shows Media state as Media Disconnected and looks like I have a Terado Tunneling Pseudo interface , the settings for this seem to be disabled or set to no.

The router is working with other computer hence this post.

Excuse the obvious but does the laptop have a wi-fi switch? A lot of laptops have a on/off switch for the wi-fi that sometimes gets in the way.

Teredo Tunneling PSeudo Interface - This seems to be an IPv6 thing. A quick google will give you the details. You may be able to resolve your problem by disabling the IPv6 protocol (unless you are actually using it).

Good luck
