Hi Joananne,
My laptop is a HP though it may be designed completely different. On my
machine there is a row of buttons along the top and the second button from
the left will toggle the wireless on and off. Jaws usually announces this
as
it happens. I don't know if this has any relevance to your situation.
Brian.

Hi
Paul, it is actually an HP laptop.
To answer your questions Darragh:
It isn't seeing the network at all and no security key is required to
connect to the network.
The user tells me that it picks up her wireless router at home.
I'm thinking that wireless must be turned off or something as I'm not
getting any error messages from vista.

Hi Joan Ann,
I have seen this problem exhibited with Acer laptops where no matter what
you try it just won't connect to networks such as in your training centre
and the likes.
The particular Acer I came into contact was still under garuntee but
when
I
brought it back to the shop they couldn't make it work.
I'm sure there must be some fix for it however.
Paul.

Hi Paul
The problem is that, the laptop won't pick up the network here at work
even though, I have no problems doing it on another laptop also using
Vista.

If configured correctly then wireless connection should just come on. It
can
sometimes disconnect for some reason. If you have a wireless connection
that
requires you to connect via a desktop icon then assign a shortcut key
too
it
if this is what you mean.
Again if a special icon exists on the desktop for you to enter on and
type
in a user name etc or just simply to open up and then hit enter on a
connect
button, why not place a copy of that shortcut in the programs
menu/startup
folder.

Hi all
I am teaching someone how to use an HP laptop. I am just wondering,
is there a keystroke to turn on wireless connectivity?
Thanks for help
