Solved! Orange Lan Light Stays On

[William Lutz]

After turning off a working lap top I restarted the next morning to find that I could not get any internet access. Also the computer could not detect the wireless card. In switching the on off switch of the lan device the light remains orange. I down loaded the software for the wireles device and installed to no avail. Was wondering if there where any viruses out there that strike the windows 7 platform or if it just a failure of the wireless card and needs to be replaced. The Computer Laptop is three years old and has been used on the internet for just about the same amount of hours.

Have you tried plugging a network cable in and getting online that way? You might be able to troubleshoot better or get the virus/drivers help you may need.
