Wireless Some Times

ChuckT · 01-09-2006, 10:09 AM

I have a new Toshiba Satellite M45 with WiFi card(Atheros AR 5005) and have a hard time connecting to the local library WiFi. At times it connects right away, other times 10 or 15 min. before connection. Other systems connect right away.
Am using Configfree software that came with machine.

Thank ChuckT

Upgrade to SP2 and try the Windows wireless client.

Thank for the help. It is now working, when the Library has it's system up. They are down a lot and that is the only place I use it.

Thanks again
ChuckT
