Make sure wireless is turned on, smarter software tools, make sure router is broadcasting network name (SSID)
Part of taking your laptop everywhere on the go is expecting to be able to connect to any wireless network, whether in an airport, coffee shop, or hotel. But wireless networks, by their very nature, are finicky beasts. Some laptops come with an external button or switch, separate from the software settings, to enable wireless connectivity. Always make sure this wireless toggle is switched on. Also make sure that the network you're connecting to is broadcasting its network name or SSID.

If you'd rather steer clear of networking issues altogether, or want a tool to help you troubleshoot without having to learn any lingo, download an all-in-one utility like Network Magic (free, or purchase the Premium edition starting at $29.99). It helps you easily set up and secure your network, complete with a comprehensive network map, as well as repair broken wireless Internet connections. Road warriors should consider JiWire's Hotspot Helper ($24.95 per year), which will not only show where you can log on via Wi-Fi but also will protect your privacy while you surf the Web wirelessly. In addition, this utility offers secure e-mail delivery, just like you get back in the office.

Make sure that whatever wireless network you're trying to connect to is enabled and allows you to do so and is recognizing your device. Make sure your device is enabled to be recognized and detected by a wireless network. If you're trying to connect to a router, you may need to just reset the router for the new connection to take place. Usually a router will have a button you push to reset it easily and quickly. Just a couple of suggestions, as these are problems I've run into, but I'm not sure it will help you with yours.
