I have a Gateway laptop that can not see the wireless network. It used to be able to see it, but now it does not.

There are other laptops in the building and all can see and connect to it just fine.

I tried adding it, but since it's not finding it - it doesn't connect to it.

Any suggestions on things to try?
 
With that information, all I can say for now is to go download NetStumbler, and see if your laptop can detect the wireless network. Make sure the wireless switch on the laptop is on, and that the wireless card is correctly installed in Device Manager
 
I did try updating drivers, was about ready to run NetStumbler until I got the AP info, logged in, enabled SSID Broadcasting (even though I was trying to connect manually), it found it, I disabled SSID broadcasting and it's been working fine since.
