Help me set up my wireless internet

Seeing as the hardware is brand new and a native Windows7 machine can't you call Toshiba support?

Perhaps there's a generic/system specific issue they can talk you though... ;)
I talked with my computer guy and he thinks there may be an issue regarding the adapter's connection to its antenna. Rest assured I'll be calling Toshiba tomorrow morning. :)

I just thought I'd best make sure there's nothing I could do to fix the problem.
