oli Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have a toshiba laptop that wont connect to the wireless. It says it is connected to local and internet but it when IE, msn etc is used it wont work. I have tried scanning for crap but couldnt find anything. there is another toshiba laptop in the house which is connecting to the wireless and a desktop with a wired conenction to the router so i doubt its the router. Any ideas? Homer: I never apologise, im sorry Lisa. Thats just the way i am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTskifreak Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Did you purposefully post all those other topics?? or was that a glitch. Hmmm...odd problem. Try updating some drivers for the wireless..or if you updated, reset them back. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 The multiple posts glitch has happened before. For the wireless prob you could check in services and make sure that the "Wireless Zero Configuration Service" is set to auto and has started.

oli Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 yeah i check the wireless config service, called something different in vista. had been stopped so obviously another program is taking control. looked in the taskbar and there was something there and i dont think its working properly. so i went to msconfig to look for it but couldnt see it. It wont be the dns servers as the laptop is set to get them auto and another laptop connects to the router fine. Im going to post a hijack this log see if there is anything wrong.

oli Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 turned out that clicking the button in IE that resets everything fixed it, strange. Homer: I never apologise, im sorry Lisa. Thats just the way i am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
