no wireless icon in network connections

[rockinbob]

i have moved house and on powering up my computer there is no icon in network connections it was okay before i moved house. my laptop is showing 6 wireless connections where my tower has no icon. I have checked in device manager and all seems okay. i thought the move may have loosened the wireless card i have checked this and all seems okay. any help would be much appreciated.

what operating system are you on, can you not set up a new wireless connection?

I see what your saying now, you have no icon because you haven't got a connection.

have you subscribed for a connection with your provider for the house you have just moved into
