trying to get laptop on wireless network

Hi would some one be kind enough to point me in the right direction
please. Problem is I have a tosh tecra 8000, tried to use a pcmcia
wireless card and it would'nt power it up, so i am trying a usb
adapter which the lappy powers up but does'nt see the wireless
network, the router is not set up with wireless security yet as i was
told to get the connection first. It says in the troubleshooter there
is a code 10, can any one adivse further please or is my lappy to old
for wireless TIA

Code 10 is a driver issue usually.

sorry to be a pain,& thanks for the reply conor, I have installed the
drivers and uninstalled them, off the disk that came with the adapter
does it mean that the drivers for the adapter are not compatible with
XP then ?

Hi, i'm far from an expert but as the replies aren't flooding in...
Has anyone else managed to connect to your wireless network?
I assume the wireless is enabled? With my router you connect using a browser
and adjust the settings on screen.
Can the laptop see itself on the network?
Are the protocols all there in network properties?
Is the IP address on the laptop suitable, they are usually OK left automatic
but in the past I have had cause to set them manually.
Is there a firewall where you could allow the IP of the router, I had to put
the IP in the trusted zone on Zone Alarm.

Good luck,
Rick

I don't think you mentioned which adapter you are using but if it is a
Netgear there was a Code 10 problem with the drivers on several
laptops which was supposed to have been fixed with later driver
updates. Try downloading and installing the latest card drivers and
see if that helps. I know of Netear problem but maybe there are other
brands with similar problems so still worth a try with nre drivers.

Personally I *never* use the supplied drivers with anything - I always
download the latest from the net and install those.
