It sounds like your wireless card might not be being seen. You might want to check /var/log/dmesg to see what's happening at boot, and go from there depending on what you find.

this is true.
my bad, failed to mention that when i was able to see other wifi signals, it was via the modem/router/wifi. installed wifi card to see if it would catch any wifi signals.
as for what box is seeing;
]$ pwd /var/log
]$ grep Ethe dmesg eth0: SiS 900 PCI Fast Ethernet at 0xd000, IRQ 5, 00:07:95:18:2b:bb 8139cp: 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver v1.3 (Mar 22, 2004) 8139too Fast Ethernet driver 0.9.28

so, card is seen and readable. maybe needs drivers?
also, not mentioned before;
eth0 = xfinity modem eth1 = 2Wire 2701HG-B
