Cannot browse Windows 2000 Server domain with wireless connection

I am working on a laptop that connects to a Windows 2000 Server domain
controller. XP Pro on the laptop got corrupted so the OS was re-installed.
Afterwards, I hard wired the laptop into the network to re-join the domain.
I then tried to connect wirelessly but am now unable to browse the network.
I re-installed XP using the same machine name and user account. No changes
have been made to the server or wireless router, only to the laptop.

Does anyone know why I cannot browse the network with a wireless connection
where I was previously able to and what it takes to resolve the issue?

Thanks for any assistance that you may provide.

You have a browser conflict, or a firewall problem. Read this article about the
browser infrastructure, if you wish.

Next, look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from the laptop, and from
one properly working client computer, and diagnose the problem. Read this
article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download
browstat!):

And look for a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, or other security
component. Read this article with an open mind.

Are the both wired and wireless in the same subnet? do you have WINS server?

configure your wireless network to the laptop... Maybe the ssid is different
in the router.
