Wifi not detected
I have a home wireless network with 4 laptops and 1 desktop. A new Toshiba
laptop running Vista Home was added about 1 month ago and all was fine. THen last week we had to replace our wireless router and since then I cannot connect the Toshiba at all. All the other computers running XP Pro are fine. I reinstalled the driver for the wireless adapter - no help. I have run the diagnostic that comes up when you can't find a network to connect to and I get a message saying that Vista can't find any problems - contact my ISP. 45 minutes with my ISP Tech desk and they have no idea what's going on. I upgraded to VISTA Ultimate during this process thinking that might be more robust like the old xp home vs pro issues. no luck. It will connect to the internet if I pull the connection out of the desktop and put it in the laptop so it's definitely a wifi issue. THanks

Have you tried turning off WEP or WPA?
Alternatively, try typing the key in hexadecimal rather than ascii characters.

I can't get to the point of typing in the key. I'm not sure that I can get
to the point of turning off WEP or WPA. Aren't they part of that same process. I'm not even getting a possible network to try and join/login to. We live in an extremely wired neighborhood and I used to have 6 or 7 networks show up as available. No I see nothing. "BurrWalnut" wrote: Have you tried turning off WEP or WPA?
