Yeah I do. After spendin $250 for the GeekSquad to set up my home
wireless system - it was a bummer - even THEY had to phone for help
from a whole crew of technicians - they finally got it working.

All was fine for 2 weeks. Then I took the laptop on vacation with me.
In several places it wanted to connect with unsecured wireless systems
and I let it do so to check on the news, weather, etc.

Then when I brought it home, it would not connect to my home network.
I have done everything I thought would work, and to no avail.

The main PC works fine. According to the Dell utility, it's putting
out oodles of power, but it just won't connect no matter what I try.
But it will connect with a neighbors nearby wirelss network. It just
won't connect to MINE. My task bar indicates that a "netrwork cable is
unplugged" and "wireless network connection not connected"

Well, everything IS plugged right. My Dell netwrok utility can see
that it's putting out a lot of power. Nothing will let me connect to
it though.
