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.
