"Wireless Network Connection not connected ... "???

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

My desktop running XP SP2 reports that my DLink DWL-G520 is not connected.

My new Toshiba laptop running SP1 reports that its internal Atheros Wireless
connection is "disconnected ... "

How do I connect them? TIA!

Did you check the side of your Toshiba to make sure the wireless is "on"?
My Satellite 2430-S255 has a switch on the left side that turns the wireless
on & off. You can have it on in Windows but if the switch is in the off
position then it doesn't work. Not sure if that's your problem but you can
check to see.

Neither machine was set to Ad hoc networking. Both adapters saw each other,
but MS software was no help. Maybe I'll go back to Macs.

Patrick, have you checked the Toshiba site for updates? I was there
yesterday and there were 2 pages of updates for my model and one of them was
for the Atheros card driver. Windows certainly requires a little more work
to get your network connections right than OS X, I'll give you that, but in
all likelihood its a simple fix once you identify the problem. Anyway,
check out the Toshiba site if you haven't already. I *think* there's even a
link to Toshiba updates in the Start > Programs menu, at the top.
