I have a tablet PC Compaq tc1100. Windows XP Pro SP2. It works when I connect
to a wired lan (other NIC card) SBS windows 2003 domain in my office. But
when I take out of the office and login into it as a PC, enabling the
wireless card and disabling the Lan NIC card it can' detect any wireless
network access points.

I click on the wireless Icon and I get the message "No wireless networks
were found". In network connections the Icon is crossed out and says,"
Wireless Network Connection Not connected, Firewalled". I tried uninstalling
and reinstalling the hardware (intel pro wireless lan 2100 mini pci adapter)
but it didn't help.
Ipconfig /all says Media State = disconnected. I the computer = 127.0.0.1

Any suggestions?

Mike,

I'd start by making sure that one and only one WiFi client is running, at any
time. WiFi client conflicts can cause your problem.

And what WiFi networks do you have available? Do you have any computers, near
the tablet PC in question, that do successfully connect to any WiFi networks?
