Hi I have a Toshiba satellite pro I have a 3g dongle iam wanting to connect to ebox live using both laptop and 3g dongle any help would be great.

The only way is if the Xbox detects it (that's why they make their own), because they have a list posted on xbox.com that states only very few non-microsoft wireless dongle's work with the xbox.

If you want to sacrifice your wireless then technically this could work. The wireless card is generally connected via 2 wires that can be disconnected. If you have a 3G 'card' with the same connector to the motherboard, and also if there is software / drivers to work the card in windows, the this may work. A much easier solution would be to purchase a 3G USB dongle.

SETTING UP A BROADBAND CONNECTION (non dial-up connection)

First you need to decide what type of broadband and Internet service you require and these are -
1. DSL that uses your existing telephone line.
2. Cable that uses a cable service and can include a cable TV service.
3. A wireless 3G network uses the mobile/cell phone network and can be separate or combine with your cell phone account. This type of Internet connection uses an USB wireless device shaped like an USB memory stick.
Note - Combined services generally offer discount pricing and may include a modem/wireless router.

If you use a wireless router with the DSL or Cable Internet service then your laptop with a wireless card can then connect to the Internet. You can also connect to a free WiFi hot spots like McDonalds, Star Bucks, the Airport etc. using the wireless card in your laptop.
If you use the wireless 3G wireless broadband service, then you can access the Internet anywhere where your ISP has 3G wireless coverage. You need to check the service coverage area where you need Internet service.
Once you decide what type of broadband your require, then you need to check with the various Internet Service providers to see if they can offer and the cost of the various plans.
Note the download limits and the associated additional costs if you exceed the monthly download limits. Once you sign up with a Internet Service provider, their documentation will include setting up instructions and/or installation CD.

Hi darknuage...
You do not have bluetooth on this Toshiba Satellite L655-171 according to the spec sheet I found at this website...

Let us know if you solved your problem

This is the ONLY other way, save paying Toshiba and filling in proof of ownership forms.
The BIOS password is removed by the BIOS configuration, you need the BIOS password to get into the BIOS configuration.But if you do not have the BIOS password then you need to construct this dongle device.

You can build a dongle that plugs into the printer port.Purchase a 25 pin male D sub connector and solder insulated wires to the various pins as listed below. The pins are numbered on the connector

Plug the finished dongle in the printer port and power up the laptop. The password will be reset, go into the BIOS configuration to check the BIOS password, you may have to disable the BIOS password.

Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 PC Notebook does not have Bluethoot device inbuild. You have to connect a external device for use.
Thanks.

Windows 7 is still in beta testing is it not?  This means that various things are not going to work with this until they are ready to start selling to the public.  You can not expect a program in beta testing to work with all periphial devices. 

you have to use a standard windows start up disk with cd rom support like win 98 works well so the computer will recognize a older version then insert it and boot the computer with the operating system that u want to install but be advised if you have a warranty on the machine you will void the waranty i found out the hard way i had xp on my toshiba laptop and i put windows me on it couple of months later i had a cd rom issue and sent it to the manufacture and found out that the waranty was voided because i put a different operating system on the machine

I am only going to say this once........vista is the best ........ believe me alot of people are afraid of vista ... I cannot understand why may I ask you SIR why are you changing from Vista to XP when they are both the same OS .......it is senceless ........exeriment man oh man experiment you will succomb.................
