Toshiba wireless problem

[rubiconx]

I'm having a problem with a Toshiba Protege 4010 laptop running Windows 2K. The problem is with the built in wireless card not allowing an IP to be assigned.

When I do ipconfig the device comes up that the media is disconnected, you can not ping/do release or renew or get an IP of any kind. I have no problem getting an IP via wired connection.

I disabled the wired connection, even in bios, and still it will not work. The strange part is that when you go to the wireless icon it will show that I am connected to my network and have full signal but yet I can not get an IP. The connection is setup to allow DHCP and I've tried installing/uninstalling the drivers as well as removing the device altogether then adding it again but no luck.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Is your network set to issue IP Addresses, i.e. DHCP?

If you're running W2K, then presumably you must have some Toshiba software to run to set up the WiFi connection, SSID, WEP etc. Does this work? Can you set WEP and, say, the channel number?

What does Device Manager say about this network hardware?
