I would say yet again "Greg said "What does it say when you place your cursor on the connection icon in bottom right System tray? It will either be a five-bar or tiny TV screen icon. Click on that icon to see if it offers networks to connect. If not rightclick on that icon to Run Troubleshooter."
I note what you see when you hover over the icon but did you right click on it as Greg suggested?"
I want to add another thing.... I had Run the Dell Diagnostics. via Dell Website. And All the tests were done. and were positive. No issue was raised by the diagnostic.
If Diagnostics could not run from the F12 boot menu, then you can delete all partitions during Steps 7/8 of Clean Install Windows 7, create new one(s) as you wish before install.
That was a step which was given you to do before reinstall. Didn't you already reinstall?
If so did you reinstall plugged in by Ethernet cable as you were told? It should have started up connected if so.
The troubleshooter is quite clear you have your wireless switched off on the laptop. Press the wireless button to turn it on. It is normally close to the power button or on the sides.
Greg , The Wireless is working fine.. I'm using Wi-fi to connect to internet. The area of Concern is LAN. Yup , I did Re-install but ethernet was not plugged in (I forgot to do so). But Anyways, It asked for connection as connected with my wi-fi during install.
What shall i do now to get the LAN back?
