However, in the one that did, I could not get a VPN client (SafeNet) to work with it. Every time I disconnected from the VPN, the Config-Free software would notice that I had disconnected, imporoperly deduce that the wireless had been turned off, and switch the traffic to the ethernet port. Once this happened, it would not return to the wireless mode without lots of thrashing around with Wireless Zero Config. I finally got fed up with all the layers of junk piled on top of a simple wireless driver and removed both Config-Free and WZC. It worked. >

I use Startup Insepctor for Windoze for that. Much better than MSCONFIG: http://www.windowsstartup.com It's free. >I'm sure there are many versions of the M45, though.

Anyone else have anything else to add ???? I thought my toshiba laptop was faulty also .... i think toshiba knows about it as they were so sure it wasnt faulty when i rang them > DominickTotino@gmail.com hath wroth:
