Problem with a Dell Latitude D620 laptop running Windows 8 Pro. After a fresh install of Windows I was able to setup a wireless connection successfully. However after connecting the laptop to a domain and clicking on the wireless network icon the blue bar appears with no text at all.

It allowed me to initially set up a wireless connection after installing windows 8. That is why I am puzzled. I see in device manager the installed driver was for an Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG adapter which was installed by Windows. I checked Dell's site and see that it could be one of three available--- Product Support for Latitude D620 | Dell US

Have you tried changing the membership back to a workgroup like in the picture. Go to Computer,> Properties' upper left,> Then choose 'change settings' to the right.

I have tried moving the membership back to Workgroup but it had no effect. I also tried uninstalling the intel Wifi Drivers and reinstalling. Along with the Broadcom NIC drivers...Uninstall and Reinstall... but that also has no effect. I have a VPN client installed and I also tried uninstalling that. Maybe it was a Windows update that caused it?? I will do more digging..... Thanks for all the replies.

Also, run the troubleshooter. It can fix non-driver related problems.

Certain VPN's can cause this, Hamachi sometimes will cause connection problems.
