Thread: BT Broadband not recognising LAN card

  1. #1

    Default BT Broadband not recognising LAN card

    I have just had to re-install XP Pro on a mates Toshiba Equium A100 -147 laptop and am having difficulty in getting wireless broadband to work as my BT Broadband is failing to recognise that laptop has a LAN card fitted. The laptop wireless internet connection on laptop worked fine before I reinstalled XP.
    Connection is fine using USB lead to router but when I run BT Connection Manager it reports that "No wireless adapter is available"

    I entered BIOS to ensure that LAN was enabled, which it was, and reset BIOS to factory defaults (ensuring that LAN was still enabled)

    Unfortunately I, or friend, do not have Toshiba set up disks

    Anybody have any suggestions?

    Look in Device Manager to see if the Driver is installed, if not you will have to install it.

    Can't find any mention of "Lan" in Device manager and do not have set up disks to reinstall driver.

    you'll have to install the Ethernet and wireless drivers from the Toshiba website

    use another pc and a penstick.
