the wireless LAN on my laptop has not been working for a while . i can't even activate it .

when i tried to access it by right clicking the wireless connection icon, i found a "Repair" command .
When I tried that, it says that Windows couldn't repair it, as it couldn't connect to the wireless network .
It also says: "Contact the person who manages your network"

Is this a possible hijacking?

:help:

But you might be advised to seek help from a Tekkie.

Welcome to PressF1:)

First of all, it sounds like the wireless network itself is the problem, not your laptop though that could be a factor too .

When it says repair, its not repairing your network adapter but its trying to repair the connection that is not working . Windows can't do so thats why it asks you to talk to the person who manages your network (it assumes you work in a large office or whatever) and tell them to look the issue up further .

And NO, nothing has been hijacked . Something is just not working, either your laptop's wireless adapter or the wireless network itself . Try re-booting the router if this is just at home .
