    Forgot to mention, the Power Settings are both at Balanced. Only with a couple of tweaks to them. I just read that link, did the suggestion from Intel. After I hot OK, usually you would lose your connection for about 2 to 4 seconds. I had to reboot in order to get a connection?

    They are both 32 Bit machines. I am running the latest driver from Panasonic. There is one thing about these Toughbooks, they don't like Generic Drivers.

    Another wierd thing last night. I was plugged into my Ethernet last night for awhile and noticed that my white signal icons were misssing. As soon as I disconnected the Ethernet cord they would pop right back instantly???
    This could still be driver related, Would you please double-check?

    Have you been here? Toughbook Computer Support - Search Downloads This is for what is listed, CF-30K/L (mk3).
    There are two other suffix codes listed M, and Q. You would have to make sure which suffix yours is, and then check accordingly to see if your drivers are up to date.

    One of the WLAN drivers is marked Update.
    If you need to update go over the Instructions just to make sure how.
    If not it still would not hurt to re-install, It could have been a bad update, but make sure the current driver is completely gone.

    I would not think this to be too out of the ordinary. There are times Windows Updates do not call for a reboot, but they will work, work better after the user does reboot.

    It really is a good habit to reboot when you make a change to the OS, even if it does not call for it.

    Have you ever crashed a party instead of being invited?

    Without a doubt, the 4965 is heads of shoulders better than the 5100.
    An afterthought; You know you could swap them out.
    Is it still under warranty?

    Your 4965 is in the third pix down..............

    I redid the latest driver again about 2 hours ago actually, from that same site you posted. That is where I get and use all my drivers. I have not been back home or to a WiFi place yet to see how it goes.

    They are both still under warranty. The only thing they will allow you to do without voiding your warranty is add more memory. The way these are designed if you were to open them up you could tell. That breaks the water tight seal it's in.

    Anything other than that my 3 years is out the window. I can't afford to mess that up.

    After I get home I will reboot and see if I get a error message. I have deleted all my wireless profiles as well. I am using my Verizon 4G right now, which does not cause any errors or anything.

    Thanks for sticking this out with me

    Good news! When I got home last night I made sure I was logged into my home's network. I logged off for the night. When I got in my van this morning I awoke the computer and it connected perfectly. I went to my Reliability Monitor and no errors at all.

    I will monitor it today and make sure all goes well. I must have had a bad Driver install like you suggested. I have never had that happen before, nor did I make any changes before it started messing up? Any way, it seems fixed for now

    I really want to thank you for sticking with me thru this problem. This is what and how this place needs to work. So glad to be a member of this place!

    That's completely normal. There is no need for the computer to show the strength indicator for any wireless connection as long as you're hooked to a network cable

    I agree 100% with you, however, I have always had my Wireless bars showing on every W7 computer while an Ethernet cable is plugged in. I like the fact that they don't show, which then you know your running off of Ethernet.

    WOT!, Wots'd problem here? Do I detect a problem here? Is there a problem here or is this a matter of semantics?

    No sooner than I get one problem solved, up crops another
    My apologies, I couldn't help myself.

    Actually I only have a wired network off a wired DSL router, and it always bugged me that the Internet/Network icon on the Taskbar doesn't show activity in win7 like it use to in earlier versions of windows.


    But, I got use to it.........
