I have always used wireless with my laptop until I took it to work and
plugged in an ethernet cable into it. Now I am unable to connect to ANY
wireless connection. Does anyone have any ideas?

go to Network Connection settings, RMC the LAN connection and select
Disable. Then RMC the Wireless connection and select Enable. You may have to
do a restart but you should not have to.

Hi
It might be that your work configuration disabled the Wireless.
Log to Control Panel/Network Connection, Right Click on the Wireless
connection and make sure that it is Enable.

Use this page instructions to configure your system to prefer Wire only if
it is connected to a Wire.
