Hi,

The LAN card and wireless card are two separate physical components so the likelihood of them both being damaged at the same time is highly doubtful.  

Here is a link to the Dell Network and Wireless Support Center.  Check out the articles and troubleshooting steps on that page.  Chances are you'll simply need to delete your current network connections in Windows and then allow Windows to reconnect to your wireless or wired network.

Once you've tried out the steps in the support center please come back and let us know if you're able to resolve your issues or not.

Tap [Fn] and [F2] or just [f2] depending on your function keys configuration. Do you see any changes in the device manager?
