Most Panasonic Toughbooks have a Physical On-Off Wireless Switch Built-In. I belive the one on the CF-52 is located on the front right-hand side hidden behind the handle. It is a small switch and you must slide it to the right side (On) as opposed to the left side (Off). Most modern Toughbooks also have a Wireless Switch Utility which may be required. If so, you can find the driver at: http://pc-dl.panasonic.co.jp/dl/search?q=&button=&dc%5B%5D=002001&p1=&p2=&oc=&lang= That is it. Good Luck.

Dear Keith,Could you please clarify your problem? What kind of control do you need for your network? Show how many PCs are connected to your network? Block your ports? Sniff messages inside the network? Providing us with more details would help us find the best solution for the problem mentioned.Regards,Miguel L. Martins

We couldn't really identify which drivers are missing. Here's what you can do. Boot to safe mode and check the device manager. Uninstall the drivers with problems and restart your computer. After that, install the drivers by going to the website of the manufacturer and download the drivers from there. Use RadarSync if you want to update the drivers. This software is an automatic PC Updater (Drives). David

The beeping noises occur when the laptop has been running for Several minutes?

This means that the temperature sensor on the CPU has reached the warning threshold, as set in the BIOS/CMOS of your laptop computer. It is getting too hot, ensure that the computer is slightly raised off the work surface to allow greater airflow through the computer system.

Also try and remove as much dust as you can from the CPU cooler of the laptop, the vent is usually located on the right side. Use a vacuum cleaner, the laptop should be powered off when cleaning it.

The beeping noise is a warning signal and not the problem. It is an indicator of the problem.

Take care!

On any Panasonic Toughbook you can rotate the screen as follows: Hold down the "CTRL" and the "ALT" keys and while holding down these two keys press the "UP Arrow" key and then release all three keys. This will reset the screen so it is right side up instead of upside down. Good Luck and regards from: Richard, Authorized Panasonic Canada Toughbook Dealer since 1989. P.S. The arrow keys look like this: The up arrow is the one on the top
