I have a Toshiba satellite pro m15-s405 that has a built in wireless network card (Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2100 LAN 3B Mini PCI Adapter) and it doesnt pick up any signal from my wireless router. i know it isnt the router because i have another laptop that picks up the signal fine. When i connect the laptop directly to the router with a cord, it works, its just the wireless card that wont pick up a signal. I already tried installing new drivers and that didnt help. My router is a Linksys wireless-B 802.11b. Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks.

It will do that if security is setup incorrectly, i.e. setting it up for wep when useing WPA, cckm, cmic stuff not being set can cause problems.

I am personlly not a fan of the PRO/Wireless Application itself. I have had problems thats you are describing because of that app. Installing the driver ONLY worked for me. with my PRO/Wireless 2200b/g. I feel that windows handels the wireless connections better.
