How do I get this prehistoric Toshiba Satellite 1400-S151 to work with wireless? Do I need a wireless card or something completely different? When it click on the wireless icon on the lower right hand corner of the screen, it says something "wireless adapter disabled", so I'm not quite sure what I have to do to make this computer work with wireless....... Any help would much be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Hi it sounds like the wireless adapter requires enableing, i gather you are running xp? this is how to do it, go to control panel, in there locate system, then hardware, then device manager, look down the list to see if the wireless card is actually in there, if it is it will have a red x on the adapter, just right click that and choose enable in the list, if however you do not have an inbuilt wifi card, you can purchase a PCMCIA WIFI card from a computer store...hope this helps

1st.: check to see if there is a wireless button on the outside of the computer. Some have this option to turn it on/off and it's easily overlooked by many.

2nd.: Right click "my compuer" and go to manage. Go to "device manager" and find your card under the "network adapter" tab. If it is disabled, double click it to enable it. If it has a yellow flag on it, you will need to download and update the driver.
