You'll need to download and install all of the drivers for Windows XP. Specifically your Wireless Driver.

Try experimenting with other networks.

I downloaded drivers and still nothing. I wonder if re-installing windows will help? I have the 2002 version and it has slightly different setup for wireless. sort of dificult to navigate for illiterates like me. This is setting me nuts. I am used to turning a machine on and up flashes the "wireless network connection excellent"
groan.

I'm not 100% sure that the HP 2133 has it, but many notebooks (and I'm pretty sure the HP 2133 does) have a switch for turning on / off the wireless functionality.

Worth a quick check that it is turned ON

It is the lighted slide switch on the right front. Should be blue when Wifi is connected.

light is orange and when I slide the switch it is still orange. ???

Check if your WiFi is enabled/disabled

1) Right click “My Computer”
2) Properties
3) Hardware
4) Device Manager
5) Network adaptors
6) Select the WiFi adaptor
7) Right click; - ensure it is enabled

There is NO wifi adaptor listed here. Only, Broadcom Netlink Gigabit Ethernet...???
