Toshiba m200, Windows 7 and Wirelss lan (Intel 2100 3B) Problem

[cobuilder]

Hi there, glad to join this forum.

As you might notice from the title, I have m200 and testing windows 7.

All seems going smooth, except wireless lan .

I have installed toshiba driver (Vista) and let windows 7 actualize it and it seems working, I mean, hardware itself. And it can discover as well as can see other networks.

However, I cannot connect ANY network , niether WEP nor WPA, WPA-2. Only MAC filtering without securty, it works.

I am totally lost and cannot figure out what can I do more to make it work.

Can anyone share some advice or experience?

Thanks a lot in advance!!

Hmmmmm, I did not check wireless acess as I use wired internet access from most locales.......no help from me, sorry.

Thanx for reply sneezinglion!

In the mean time, I have been trying to test different Wlan manager (to locate whether the problem is based on windows zero configuration problem).
The result is NO, it is not problem of windows 7's Wlan manager, the other Wlan managers are failed too.
So i still assume it is problem of Wlan driver. Any suggestion?
Anyway, I will try to test other aspects.

Hi Cobuilder, My M200 has a Intel Pro/Wireless Lan 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter.
I installed windows 7 build 7068 via wired lan pxe boot. Wired NIC is working after installation. Then I did a windows update and it installed wireless driver for me. I can connect to my router with WPA enabled without problem. (It's running DD-WRT).
Maybe you can try the driver for windows 7 from windows update.

Vincent

Tested with Windows 7 7100 32BIT
After installation you already have wired NIC working.
Install the vista version driver for intel wireless NIC will fail, the system still don't have the driver for the wirelses intel NIC.

Just connect M200 wired to your router and do a windows update, it will install the correct driver for you.

Hi Vincent,
Thanks for the tips. I just downloaded the RC version and will try it out during the weekend.

Wish you a nice weekend!
