Wireless Connection

[jeffro855]

Toshiba Laptop w/ XP:



I'm not showing any wireless connections in my "Choose a wireless

network" screen. I can not update the driver from the device manager,

this made me just uninstall the driver and reinstall from Intel's site.

After doing this, it works, brings up all connections in my area and I

can connect to one of them. But when I turn the computer off and turn

back on, whether immediately or the next morning, there's no wireless

connections anywhere. It's like there's no wireless network adapter

available. I have retried the uninstall-reinstall drivers and once again

it will work fine.



Network Adapter:

Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection



Any ideas?



Toshiba Satelite Laptop

Intel Core 2 CPU

T5500 @ 1.66GHz

Microsoft Windows XP

Media Center Edition

Version 2002

Service Pack 2





Thanks for any help.

If this adapter is internal, try the driver from Tosh site, specific to your

model

SP3 for WinXP contains a whole series of fixes for wireless issues. Search this

article for "wireless" to see:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/946480



If you decide to update to SP3 and may want to revert to IE6 be sure to

uninstall IE7 and/or IE8 beforehand. See this article for more details,

especially the note regarding third-party wireless network adapters.

I'll try these suggestions starting with the Toshiba driver and then SP3

suggestion.



Thanks.

I'll update what I find out.
