You don't need 1394. That's "Firewire" and you've already said that you
have a separate WiFi adapter.
If you can see any networks, there's nothing wrong with the driver
configuration for the WiFi adapter. If you can't connect, you haven't
entered the right WEP keys, user name and password, or something of that
sort to connect to the indicated network.

My laptop is WiFi enabled. It is a Sony Vaio T VGN-T270P. Yesterday I
couldn't see any wireless networks in the window. Today I disabled the
WiFi connection and reenabled it and now I can see all the networks but
still the computer refuses to connect. I examined the link
http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html you kindly provided and my problem
starts here:
http://www.ezlan.net/example/tcp-ip.jpg. The properties
of Client for Microsoft network don't look like this but I just see RPC
services with Name service provider. In the device manager, Intel(R)
PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection was crossed but disabling and
re-enabling has made it available again, this is why I can see the
networks, I think, but 1394 Net Adapter is still crossed and I don't
know what it is. Perhaps it is why I can't connect but after the
damage I did yesterday by suppressing the Bluetooth radio in my device
manager, I don't dare doing anything there now.

Paul, you saved my day. I don't know how to thank you. First I
thought that I didn't have any Bluetooth USB stick anywhere but I
remembered that I had, at the bottom of a drawer, an old Bluetooth
Headset that came with a stick. I plugged the stick in and it did
the trick. It reinstalled my Bluetooth radio, I recreated all the
Bluetooth relationships and now PPC and laptop communicate again.
I hope that you can help me with my WiFi problem now. I thought that
WiFi stopped working because it came in conflict with this Bluetooth
USB device malfunctioning (UGX?) but now that I reinstalled
everything I still don't have WiFi. I tried to repair but no way.
Once again, you need to provide more information, this time about your
wifi adapter. If your wifi adapter is built-in to your computer, it
may simply be turned off. As MVP Jack, the author of the following
