<br>While at it, you might want to install the HP Wireless Assistant software, it should pop up a message regarding the state of the wifi device.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 12:01 PM, Samuel Waithaka <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:samwaithaka@gmail.com" target="_blank">samwaithaka@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

<br>Regarding the wifi, is the hardware &quot;kill switch&quot; for wifi on? Again, the make and model would indicate where this switch is...<br>

<div>Hi guys,</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;m trying to access office wireless connection from laptop for the first time without much success. Everything seems to be ok but it keeps saying that there&#39;s no network in range (well there is one!). This is on XP.</div>




<div><br></div><div>On Ubuntu on the same machine, wireless network option is disabled. What am I doing wrong? Please help.</div><div><br></div><div>While we&#39;re at it, I can&#39;t tell if the machine has bluetooth or not, though it&#39;s supposed to. How can I find this out?</div>
