That is an easy way on Windoze. Under GUI depends on whit incarnation. 
XP uou can RMB on the Wireless or wired network connections icon and use 
REPAIR. Another way is to RMB in the same icon and click STATUS and then 
click on the SUPPORT tab and then click the REPAIR button. Here you can 
see the results of your actions. Vista is impossible. Haven't seen W7 yet.
