It happened after I borrowed it to use at a PTA meeting, and the battery ran out on me. Thanks for the solution. It's all working now. Here are some detailed non-command line instruction for the same fix, for those of us who need it: This is to find and delete the networking folder: 1. From the regular Aspire One options page, go to the Files panel 2. Click on the triangle to see more icons 3. Click on MyFiles, which opens a file manager window. 4. In the menu bar, select View->Hidden files, to show a tick in the box. (Sorry, I'm translating from a German display, so the option names may not be spot on.)You should be in the "My Disk:///" directory. 5. Find folder "gconf" and click on that 6. Find folder "system" and click on that 7. You should now see folder "networking" listed as one of the folders. 8. DELETE IT! (Right click on the networking folder, and select option delete.) Okay, once you have recovered from the fear of deleting goodness-knows-what-file because you are just following some internet instructions, you have to re setup your wireless connection: 1. Shut down all those windows, and go back to the regular Aspire One options page. 2. Click "Settings" on the bottom right. 3. Click icon for "Netwrok Center". If this works, and a window pops up then it's going well. 4. Click on "New", and follow the on screen instructions to connect and re-setup your WLAN or LAN. Oh, and do check that the little network switch near the bottom right of the keyboard is switched on. It should show an orange light.

It got shut off. If this is your problem, too, there is a way to turn the adapter back on. Just consult the user manual for your computer.

Use the ping command to test the basic connectivity. By using the ping command you can isolate network hardware problems and incompatible configurations. By using the path ping you can detect packet loss. 2. If you want to see the Ping's statistics then you ping -t command and press enter to continue and if you want to stop then press CTRL+BREAKTo watch Ping statistics, use the ping -t command. To see statistics and continue, press CTRL+BREAK. To stop, press CTRL+C. you can use a free network tool--Colasoft Ping Tool, to excute Ping command on multi-computers at the same time, and see detailed Ping statistics. 3. If you remote system is across the delay link, such as satellite link responses may take longer. 4. Check the event logs for network card and other hardware and software configurations and connectivity related entries. 5. Check whether the NIC card is on the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). 6. Check other computers that use the same gateway and are plugged into the same hub or switch and if these computers do not show any network connectivity problem then the problem is on the only one computer. 7. Contact the vendor of each NIC and motherboard and update the BIOS. 8. Replace the network adapter of the system with the good configured system and see if the same error arise again.

(1) is the device showing up okay in "device manager"? (2) is there a hardware switch that you can turn on or off? (3) have you enabled the connection? Without more information, we may not be able to answer. Also, I must say that ir is poor form to bash them for not assisting you with a wireless connection issue, as totally repairing this issue would possibly involve more than just your computer. $95 is actually a cheap rate. Personally, I'd charge more. Do you mean that you can not enable the connection, or that you can’t connect to a wireless network that you set up previously?
