...from your daughter's, is that right? You both have Toshiba laptops, is that right? What version of Windows do you have? My guess is that on your laptop you have WiFi disabled, and you just need to see your user guide to see how to enable it. All laptops have this feature because it's required by law, but it's different on every make and model, and you neglected to mention your model.
Good luck.
My daughter is back from college and has had no problems with her toshiba laptop. The computer is connected with a strong signal to my Motorola wireless router. I cannot get the Internet to work. I have tried everything and nothing works. Comes up with "Internet Explorer cannot display this page" HELP !
