| 655010 | 2008-04-01 09:54:00 | I have a very unusual problem I have a friend who runs a toshiba notebook with Windows Vista installed that has built in wireless For some reason it has fail to detect my modem's wireless.I have a Netgear DG834G V2 . It is not showing up in windows but if I install a wireless usb adaptor into her laptop my wireless shows up and I can connect to it This is quite strange.Has anyone come across this problem? I have another friend who is also running a notebook that runs on windows xp.She says there are no problems. |

| 655011 | 2008-04-01 10:06:00 | The internal wireless is definitely enabled? Sometimes there is a switch, or a key combo (Fn+???), to turn the wireless on & off as well as Windows option to enable/disable as well as sometimes the wireless card proprietary software as the option as well! Also check that the wireless card is not set to only detect B or G or N networks. You may also need to update the firmware in the Netgear. I had an instance a few weeks ago with a Sony Vaio that would not connect to a wireless access point but my Acer laptop connected to worries. Updated the firmware on the access point and the Sony was able to connect. |

I will let her know about the firmware update |
