| Vista Home Premium | Vista not finding my network I have bought DD a laptop for Christmas and thought I'd get it all set up beforehand. I already have a wireless network here at home, with 2 desktops (running xp) and a macbook, they connect via a belkin wireless modem router. Vista however, doesn't even find a network, I get a message saying the network cable is unplugged. Its wireless enabled and the switch is on  Any idea's on what I can do?? Thanks! |

| Vista Home Premium | Re: Vista not finding my network Hi, it says drivers are up to date, but as the laptop came with no drivers or discs, I don't really know. I had to make a recovery disc when I first started the laptop. |

| Vista Ultimatex64 Windows 7 build 7100 | Re: Vista not finding my network Sorry, The best I can suggest is to look in the device manager that all drivers are installed and up to date, and maybe to try uninstalling, reinstalling the wireless drivers. All drivers will be on the Toshiba site. Or to buy yourself a USB wireless stick, |
