Folks,

When I turn on the wireless on my Toshiba e755 running Windows Mobile
2003, I get no signals detected. In other words, no ))) symbols next
to the icon of the PDA. When I do a HARD reset of the PDA (i.e., lose
all data and apps), the wireless works just fine; I can connect,
authenticate and surf the Web, so I know the Toshiba e755 hardware is
just fine. When I restore my backup, I'm back to "no signal." I'd
really rather not reinstall all my apps and data, so if you could help
me figure out which setting is bollixed, I'd be grateful.

Any ideas?

Here's my settings (and I've tried fiddling with all of these
repeatedly):
Wireless switch on bottom of unit: ON
Software switch of wireless LAN: ON
Under "Config WLAN", I have Networks to Access: All available
Automatically connect to non-preferred networks: OFF
Under "Network Adapters", My network card connects to: WORK (I've
tried INTERNET, but no joy)
Under "Tap an Adapter to Modify Settings" I have five adapters: three
miniports, one 802.11b WLAN adapter, and one Ethernet driver.
Under the "IEEE 802.11b WLAN Adapter" settings, the "Use
server-assigned IP address" radio button is activated.
Under "Name Servers", the page is blank.
Under "Wireless LAN Manager Info": Link quality is no bars.
Link information: nothing (no SSID, no CHannel, no TxRate, no BSSID,
no IP address, no subnet mask), but the Gateway shows up as 10.0.0.1
(perhaps a remnant of the last time I connected).

Sounds like your backup is causing the problem, is this backup from before a
ROM update? That would mean the registry value is wrong, and you need to do
a hard reset and the install each program again.

One thing you could try would be turning the WLAN radio switch on, and the
soft resetting your e755. This may help. Sorry I can't be of more help than
that.

What is your AP?
WEP on? and did you reenter the key in the PDA?

Let's try "Only access points" and allow non-preferred
Then in LAN Manager be sure that you hit "IP Renew"
Did you try a fixed IP address for the PDA?
