Setting up a connection is easy. The first thing to do is click the Start menu, click ‘Connect to’ and then click ‘Show all connections’. Right-click ‘Wireless Network Connections’, choose ‘Properties’, then click the ‘Wireless networks’ tab and click ‘Advanced’. Then, choose to automatically connect to non-preferred networks. Following all of this, you need to click ‘Add…’ in your preferred networks.
Fill in the SSID and select ‘disabled’ in the data encryption section. Then click OK. Click on the Start menu again, and then click ‘Connect to’ again before selecting the option to show all connections. Click ‘Create a new connection’, and then wait for the Internet connection wizard to start up. Then, follow the instructions and look for the option that allows you to ‘connect to the network at my workplace’. After this, you should find the virtual private network connection, click ‘Next’, and finally enter a name for the connection.
Choose ‘Do not dial the initial connection’; click ‘Next’, then input the name to the field ‘host name or IP address’. Once you’ve selected finish, a dialog box will appear. Click ‘Properties’ and edit according to your own specific needs.
From here, you should have the basics on your network on your Toshiba computer set up. This is in the XP operating system, but the process remains similar for both Windows Vista and Windows 7. Setting up a wireless LAN connection does not have to be a complicated affair. Use the above instructions, or just get in touch with a Microsoft assistant over the telephone, or online. They’ll be more than happy to help you with your connection problems.
Furthermore, contacting Toshiba might provide you with some valuable advice.
