How can you find an wireless internet connection on a windows XP?

The strange thing is, my wireless worked perfectly on my desktop before, but then one day it just stopped.

I searched on help and support, it tells me to go to Network and Connections thing in control panel and to click on the "View available wireless networks" task. Sounds sensible, so I go and look, but when I do there is no such task.

So is there another way I can search for my wireless connection? This is getting pretty weird.

many times this happens after the tuesday windows updates "fixes" your network drivers. first yo u ahve to get into the hardware manager adn make sure the device is working properly and if it’s ‘on’, etc. maybe even re-install the drivers from the manufacturer and make surw windows doesnt’ do ti again. i never use the windows update for audio, video or NIC drivers…
