If your wireless network card has a physical on/off switch, make sure it is turned on.Next, ensure your wireless network connection is enabled.To make sure your connection is enabled, go to the Start menu, open the Control Panel and select Network Connections. You should see a Wireless Network Connection listed.
If wireless is disabled, right-click on the icon and select Enable.
If the wireless network connection is already enabled, double-clicking on it will bring up a window showing a list of available networks or (if already connected to a network) the Status Window showing the strength of signal for the network that it is attached to.

you can configure WZC in your desktop by following some simple steps:

If all that cheks out then goto a DOS window and type "ipconfig" and post your findings(cut paste output) here. Also do a "ipconfig /release" and then "ipconfig /renew" and post the output of that too..
Once you get this working I heavily recommend you enable the router wireless security using at least WPA security method or neighbors can steal your porn collection.
Unsecure network means your security is not turned on in your wireless router.
