I just down graded my Toshiba laptop from Vista to XP Home. I found the drivers 'With no help from Toshiba" and everything is working except when I try to connect to the Internet using a Linksys adapter on the laptop to a linksys router it cannot acquire the address. I am using WPA personal and I type in the Paraphrase and my key number and I cannot connect. I tried dropping the security to wep no deal. When I turn off the security then I can connect. I am using the linksys software and it acquires an access point but no network address. I have tried every thing I know and need some help now. When I was running Vista I had no problem. I would type in the key number and I was connected. Thanks Picky
