Aquiring IP-Address on Satellite L40-14N over WLAN

Hi,
after managing to enable my WiFi adapter on my Satellite L40-14N I encounter the next problem ... it seem's like I'm not getting an ip-address from my router. I can see my router, and Vista tells me, that I'm connected (kinda), but I don't get an ip-address. All I get is limited connectivity, and the adapter is being some ip-address assigned (I assume from the auto-config feature of windows).
Has anyone any clue, on why this would be?

Well, I should have noted that I already have another computer as well as a PocketPC running, who can access my WLAN router just fine (the other machine is running Windows XP SP2, and the PDA is running Windows Mobile 6.0). So my network is setup fine. Using the ethernet-adapter everything also works fine! Just using the WLAN adapter on the Toshiba doesn't seem to work.
After swithching on WLAN an the Toshiba I can see my network ESSID and I can choose connect to the network. After a while I get a notice with something like "limited connectivity" (I have a german version of Windows XP :)) ). Looking at my router no IP-address has been issued to the Toshiba, although the computer is listed in the WLAN-device list of my router (so the made "contact").
BTW: my router is running a DHCP-Server :)

  • Satellite L40-14N: Does WLan support WPA PSK encryption security

    Could someone please help?
    Does the satellite L40-14N Wireless LAN Card support WPA PSK encryption security?
    Thank you.

    What WLan card was installed in your notebook?
    You can check this in the device manager.
    Then simply Google for this WLan card or visit the WLan card manufacture info site!
    Simply ;)

  • Satellite L40-14N won't start up if i install two 2GB RAM modules

    Computer won't start up if i install two two gb ram modules,can i install vista 64 on this computer to overcome this problem,have upgraded bios.or is there something else i can do.it also wont work if i put a 2 and a 1 gb ram in.
    Any help would be apprecated
    mansy

    No, Vista 64Bit won't solve your problem. The fact is, that this notebook model only supports a maximum of 2GB Ram in total. So, you can only use one of your 2GB memory module.
    If you do so, notebook will boot up again.

  • Satellite L40-139 won't start

    ?02-19-2014 06:41 PM - edited ?02-19-2014 06:45 PM
    Hello, i have a problem with SATELLITE L40-139
    the thing is when i press power button, hard drive diode starts to flash, diode on cd-rom is lighted and the screen is black. I noticed that electornics in the CD-ROM makes a sound tick in the same way the hdd diode flashes (when it flashes i hear a tick form cd-rom, yes i unfolded whole notebook).
    I can only say that i connected HDD to my PC and it's working., well fan isn;t working too but i think it will start, after some time (like always it did)
    Now lets say about notebook crash circumstances: That was a year ago, it fell from 1 inch (such height ;]) i saw that ribbon cable that was connecting touchpad to the mohterboard was broken, and my computer diidn't start, i thought theres a problem, but i forgot about it and left the notebook for over 9 months (with disassebled hdd, cd-rom and battery) then i decided to try to switch it on.
    And viola! it works it boots etc.
    So after a month of being happy i got drunk that i couldn't sit on chair and i decided to lie with my laptop on bed, i just lied down and put notebook on my stomach and it crashed (freezed screen) i decided to reboot it, but it won't start.
    Heres a video with what i get during powering it up: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC0pGBBVwJk] (not luckily my phone fell into mud and lags when i record videos)
    Some people suggested that i should connect external display to see if theres any image, but the result is still the same. (Screen does not even power on)
    Maybe someone could help me fix it without sending it to customer service.
    Cheers.

    I think the notebook overheated or something like that
    Maybe its just an RAM problem and therefore it would be useful to test the unit in connection with new, tested RAM modules but this is only an idea
    As Dr.Lamp already said, in worst case it might be a motherboard problem and this would mean that notebook fix would be a costly affair.

  • Satellite L40 - AC adaptor malfunction

    I bought my son a Satellite L40 for christmas which he was really thrilled to receive. Everything was fine until April this year when it just stopped working.
    Whilst booking the repair was easy enough, trying to get through to DHL took me multiple attempts over 4 days before I got to arrange collection.
    The laptop was returned repaired in just over a week and my son was happy to get it back. The advice note we got said that the AC power adapter and the BIOS/FW update had been replaced.
    Everything was working perfectly well until this week when the AC adpater failed again and the battery was not being charged. So once again we went through all the checks as mentioned in the Troubleshooter, but again no joy. No lights, no power, nothing.
    So now we have an Satellite in its box which my son can't use, and it's only 7 months old.
    Does anyone know if this is a common fault or are we just unlucky to have had the same problem happen twice in 7 months?
    X-(

    Hi
    In my opinion you had simply a bad luck.
    In your case its annoying that an AC adaptor died for the second time but such issues could happen always...
    Just one example; I had a electronic issue in my car and it was fixed one week later the same symptoms appeared the technician checked it again and said that one of the parts which were replaced last week died again I thought; what a $%
    However. The part was replaced again and now everything is ok
    +Bad luck+ belongs to the life too you know
    I wish you now +good luck+ with the new replacement

  • Installing Win XP on Satellite L40-18Y

    I have bought a Toshiba Satellite L40 - 18Y from vodafone along whit the preinstalled Windows Vista Home Premium. I want to put Windows Xp but it sems that the installer doesn`t recognize the HDD ( in BIOS appears the HDD ). I
    `ve shearched other threads and found answer but seems that doen`t work. I have a USB flash disk. My flash is seen as a boot one and I can install windows on it to :) .
    Some help pls to install Windows Xp ( to see the HDD ), and pls if can say links to all programs that I have to download and what to do the noobis way :)

    Installing a Retail (street copy) version of Windows XP on a Vista Toshiba Laptop.
    If the laptop has a separate BIOS version for XP and Vista, download and flash the XP BIOS over the Vista BIOS.
    If XP Setup does not detect the SATA Hard Disk, simply turn on SATA Compatibility Mode in the BIOS if this option is available.
    If that option is not available, you need to use SATA drivers on a Floppy Disk during XP Setup. Follow these steps:
    1) Download the Windows XP SATA F6 driver from the Toshiba Support/Downloads Website.
    If an individual F6 driver is not available, download and unzip the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver. The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package should contain some folders under the "F6flpy" folder. For example: ICH7M_32bit for an ICH7 based chipset when installing Windows XP 32bit.
    2) Copy the F6 driver files (iastor.inf, etc..) to a blank floppy disk. The actual files must reside in the root directory of the Floppy Disk. For example, A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc..
    3) Use a Toshiba USB Floppy Drive with the Toshiba notebook. (some non-Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not function properly during XP setup)
    4) Boot from Windows XP CD-ROM, start the installation and ensure the floppy disk is inserted in the USB Floppy Drive.
    5) When XP Setup prompts you to press F6 to install a Storage Driver, immediately press F6.
    6) When XP Setup prompts you to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue. For example: ICH7M Intel(R) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, ICH8M Intel(R) 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller
    7) Keep the Floppy Drive attached and Floppy Disk inserted until XP has completed its installation. Do not Partition or Format the Hard Disk during XP Setup. The SATA drivers from the Floppy Disk are copied and stored on the Hard Disk during XP installation.

    I just installed XP SP2 on my Satellite L40 (BTW thanx to all you that have helped me overcome the problems during this operation with your threads), but I have some problem with my keyboard. I have an azerty keyboard and after I installed xp, it worked as a qwerty, I repared it, now all my letters are working fine, but i have some problems with some symbols, such as @, !, _,if you understand me.
    Could somebody help me???
    I also have problems with my audio, in fact I have no audio at all, in control panel it says that no audio device is found.
    I saw some threads that said that I should first install kb888111, and another likely thing, but i can't find the other one. I've downloaded the sound driver from the toshiba website; thanx for helping me in that field also.
    bye

    I have the same problem with sound...I have found hotfix kb888111 and I instaled that one...but when i wanted to start instaling sound driver a popup window say thet there is some error and can't continue with instaling sound driver...

  • Satellite L40 won't shut down with power connected, and won't go in standby

    Hi everybody. I hope someone can help me. Basically, there are two problems: one with shutting the laptop (Satellite L40-17U (Vista 32-bit Home Premium SP1) ) down when the power is connected, and one with closing the lid and putting it to sleep.
    1. Since a few weeks, it suddenly doesn't want to shut down, whenever the power is connected. When it is on battery, it will shut down. When the power is connected and I try shutting it down, it seems like it shuts down (all activity ceases and the LEDs go off) for about 1 or 2 seconds, and then it goes back on.
    2. When I close the lid (all settings in Vista are set to put the laptop in 'sleep' status when the lid is closed) the laptop goes into a state from which it can only be recovered by shutting it down by pressing the on/off button for about 10 seconds to completely shut it down. When closing the lid, only the battery LED keeps blinking orange (the way it should be), but apparently the laptop keeps consuming power, because when I reboot it later (first having to shut it down as described above) the battery tends to be quite a emptier than it was before rebooting it (like going from 100% to 65% in 30 minutes, while being in 'sleep' state). Also, when I open the lid, the other LEDs do go on again (green), but nothing happens.
    After rebooting by first pressing the on/off button for 10 seconds to shut it down, I frequently get a message that Windows could not be started, and have to run System Repair.
    I've just done a completely clean installation with the product recovery CD (didn't install SP1 yet), upgraded the BIOS to v1.90, but the problem remains.
    I'm afraid my only option will be to bring it away for a warranty repair, but knowing that these repairs can take weeks, I'd prefer to try a solution anyone here could recommend me first. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    Daniel Breslauer

    Hi guys
    Never had such issue on my notebook but regarding to another users here in the forum the BIOS might help to solve such strange notebook behavior
    To be honest the shut down issue is not known to me I noticed an standby issue on my notebook but the BIOS update helped.
    Therefore I recommend updating the BIOS firstly.
    If the issue will still appear, then the ASP should take a look into the notebook.
    Good luck

  • I can't turn the Wifi on, Satellite L40-18Z

    Hi there,
    I've been using Satellite L40-18Z but I can't turn on Wifi.
    I'm very sure that Tthe device is installed propery and I tried some ways to turn on Wifi device but never turned on. Of course, never catched the signal. Rooter has no problem either.
    Deveice manager says ithe device works propery. And the driver is correctly installed. But I can't turn on from windows mobility centre or network setting.
    It's very embarrassing to post something like this but I need your help.
    P.S. this is the first time I post on this thread but who answers? Toshiba support team?
    Thanks,

    I have the same problem. Does anyone cope with it? Have my wifi disabled can't switch it on, tried to reinstall it nothing work.
    Have it installed and work correctly thru device manager. Wifi can't be enabled and find network, all other devices are working properly. Access point have no limitation or something else in their settings.
    Windows diagnostic can't resolve this issue. Shows that "wifi is still disabled on this computer" FN+F8 doens't wotk too.
    Any help are more then wellcome.
    I suppose this is Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter bug within Thoshiba Laptop.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite L40: How do I recover files from Hard Drive

    Hi
    Can anyone help me please. About one week ago I started experiencing a clicking sound coming from my Satellite L40 laptop. My laptop froze and when I restarted it, I was directed to the system setup with a message at the bottom saying
    "Pri Master Hard Drive Disk SMART status bad, Backup and replace.
    Press F2 to presume."
    I have pressed F2 but I haven't a clue what to do?
    Can anyone tell me how to backup my files before my hard drive has completly gone or if it has gone can I use another device to get them off.
    I have tried to use the recovery disk but the disk is not responding??
    Please help
    Pete

    Hi
    This messages looks like an warning notification from the S.M.A.R.T.
    It does mean that your HDD will eventually fail.
    It could happen next days or it may not happen for a few months but the SMART capability has detected that the drive is going bad so it should be replaced as soon as possible.
    It looks like your notebook is not very old so the warranty should cover all replacements.
    I see only one way to access and backup the data. Possibly you could buy an external USB SATA HDD enclosure and could connect the HDD to another computer.
    Im not sure if you will be able to access the HDD due to the malfunction but if you want you could try this.
    Good luck

  • Satellite L40 with no Wi-Fi after Update of Vista

    Hey there,
    i got a Toshiba Satellite L40-137 and installed the Service Pack 1 of Vista.
    And now my WLan/Wifi is just deactivated with no information which driver I need or something..
    Well, it seems like this is a common issue because i googled lots of similar questions but found no proper answer.
    Some Facts:
    1) The little lamp at the bottom of the keyboard doesnt work
    2) the connectivity doctor just tells me wifi is "deactivated"
    3) fn+f8 does absolute nothing
    In case you got any workaround I'd be pretty thankful! :)
    Thanks a lot,
    Heiko

    Hi heiko_1,
    That means this happened after Service Pack 1 installation on Windows Vista?!
    Well, in my opinion you can solve it with driver reinstallation. Just follow the link posted by Mike30 and download the latest version. This should work.

  • Lan and WLan does not work on Satellite L40-18W

    Hi all
    I have TOSHIBA Satellite L40-18W and my problem 1- wireless not work & wired lan does not work.
    I have download driver and every thing is ok but it does not work ( when i search by wireless i do not find any network. My router is working fine)
    plzz help meeeee

    Hi
    Its hard to understand what you mean by not working.
    What does this mean exactly?
    Are you not able to connect to the internet or what?
    Usually if the WLan card and the LAN card have been recognized properly in device manager then the drivers are working fine and the issue could be related to wrong router configuration or maybe to some enabled firewalls, etc
    Firstly I recommend checking the router settings. Check if the router has been configured with the right data from ISP and if all other common options have been set correctly.
    The notebook supports Realtek Wlan and LAN card.
    Check if Wlan card uses the same WLan standard like the WLan router and if right encryption has been used too.

  • Re: Satellite L40 PSL48E: Can I create a installation disk from Vista partition

    Hi,
    my Satellite L40 PSL48E came with a Vista recovery partition.
    As I despise Vista I bought a replacement drive and installed a new hard-drive and installed XP pro.
    I retained the original drive in case i ever had to claim under warranty.
    I now find that due to work commitments I have to occsionally use the despised Vista rubbish and wonder if it is possible to create a Installation disk from the partition on the original drive so tha ti can create a dual boot system on my new drive.
    I am very reluctant to BUY a new Vista CD since I already have a fully legal copy on a drive which I am not using and I will only use it VERY rarely for this one work commitment.
    Any information gratefully received
    Thanks Ron

    OK and thanks.
    My next problem is this. I have XP on the main partition and WinRE on the hidden partition. How the heck do I get at the hidden partition. I don't have any boot disks ( none were provided with the machine when I bought it new. Pressing F8 only takes me the the normal XP options Safe boot boot as normal etc.
    I've tried f10 and f12 and f11 tas I've seen these suggested on a few newsgroup posts. Anyone got any ideas please.
    Toshiba Recovery Disc creatoe seems to be the key from what i read but if this is not present how do i get to the hidden partition and run it?
    HELP please. How i hate the fact that manufacturers don't provide a proper CD or DVD anymore it is a right PITA.
