Wireless connection unavailable?

Heres a story:

I have been using a Toshiba laptop with a skyracer wireless pc card
installed for some months. These months all have been working fine. Some
days ago I wanted to transfer files from my laptop to the memory stick on my
cellphone. I installed the necessary utility bundled with the cellphone and
transferred the files. Before I installed the transfer utility it prompted
me to install the .NET framework which i did. I transferred the files and
shut the laptop down. I came back once more and transferred some more files
and the wireless network seemed to work fine and i then shut the laptop
down.

The next time i turned the laptop on the wireless network would no longer
work. It says that the wireless connection is unavailable. This is the only
message i get. I havent changed any settings in the network or card
configuration.

It seems that its able to discover my router (Topcom) though.

Whats wrong? Any ideas?

It might be a conflict with the phone tools you used has corrupted
layered TCP/IP services. Download and run winsockxpfix.exe (Google).
It is likely to fix the problem. Additionally, the phone tools
(Motorola Mobile Phone Tools does this) installs a modem connection.
You can disable this modem in Device Manager, but you are likely to have
to reconnect the phone and run the phone tools to make the modem
visible.

Well, the usual Toshiba problem is forgetting to turn on the wireless
card with the well hidden on/off switch. If you had supplied the
Toshiba model number, I could have supplied the location.

Also, right-click on the My Network Places icon on the desktop.
Highlight the wireless device icon and see if the device is listed as
disabled.

I'm not sure what to suggest next. You mighty try uninstalling the
cellphone software or perhaps using System Restore to return the
machine to a previous restore point that was known to be working.
