Windows is not currently managing your wireless network

[LAS]

We have two computers in the house, one connected by wire to the router, and
one via wireless. Of course they were set up by our kids.... Today I had
to unplug all the wires and plug them back in again. Since that time the
wireless computer hasn't been able to connect. In START/Connected
to/Wireless connections we see the connection we expected.

Status - Connected
Network - Hunt's Corner
Signal Strength - 5 bars

When I go to the providers speedtest website we have excellent speed.

That all looks good,

But if I click the "View Wireless Networks" button, in the pane where
the connections are supposed to show I see

"Windows cannot confiugre this wireless connection."

If we I try to connect to IE, I get a window i've never seen before
displaying "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage."

If I click "Diagnose connection problems" it says "Network diagnostics for
Windows XP. Windows is not currently managing your wireless network."

What do I do about this? All I did was unplug and reconnect the wires.

TIA

Thanks for saving my sanity!

Last night I had somehow found the "Wireless zero" spot, after googling this
and that. But after re-booting, etc., etc., I could no longer find the 3
tabs!!! Today, following your instructions, I discovered that START was
gone again. I started it, and LO! The three tabs were back!!! Stuff like
that can make a person nuts.

I'm posting a new message in the WindowsXP.hardware forum. If your
expertise extends to the routers themselves, could you take a look?

Thanks again!
