I have a desktop computer which has no problems. The problems are with my laptop.
I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP Home with an Atheros AR5004G Wireless Network Adapter. I have a Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Broadband Router. We are running 3 desktops off the wired connections, and they are all fine. If I plug into the laptop a Cat-5 cable, I can access the network and the internet through the wired connection. But I cannot use the wireless connection. Since there is no cable in the place I want to use the laptop, this is a pain.
I ran the Linksys diagnostic (NetSet Assistant) mentioned in another thread, and I got the message that Linksys was unable to detect a wireless adapter on my computer. I have double checked that the Wireless Communication Switch on the laptop is on. I have run ConfigFree (Connectivity Doctor) which came on the laptop, and it tells me that the network adapter is disabled. But I have tried everything I can think of to enable it and nothing works.
Anyone able to help me?
