Cannot use WLAN connection with my Satellite Pro A100

Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-830
Netgear DG834G
Can not use wireless connection. While using "Config Free" to find wireless device the popup 'this connection is controlled by other software'. I do not know what it means and which software controls the connection. I have other laptop which is duly connected by wireless connection. I am ok with wired connection.
I do not know much about technicalities and thus seek help if any reader can.
Thanks
Kris

>Can not use wireless connection. While using "Config Free" to find wireless device the popup 'this connection is controlled by other software'
You should not use the ConfigFree for the Wlan configuration but either the own Vista configuration options or the WLan configuration tool like Intel ProSet Utility or Atheros Clint Utility. It depends on the WLan card what utility can be used.
Intel card -> Intel ProSet Utility; Atheros WLan card -> Atheros Clint Utility
I assume the message +this connection is controlled by other software+ appears because one of the options mentioned above controls the WLan.

    Better ,or toshiba cant show pictures ?

    Hi
    According notebook specification your notebk has Realtek 802.11bgn RTL8191SE WLAN card inside and it is confusing that this WLAN card is not listed under network adapters in device manager.
    I presume you have german machine. Have you installed own OS on English using Microsoft installation disc.
    Have you installed WLAN card driver?
    Please do it. Latest driver you can find on Toshiba WLAN portal - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/

  • Cannot use Intel widi with my Satellite L50-A-11T

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite L50-A-11T and i've tried to use Intel widi with Windows 8.1 and doesn't work, it says that the system is not compatible.
    With Windows 8 it was ok and worked fine, but in the instruccions for upgrading it said to remove Intel widi.
    Why is that?
    Thanks in advance.

    You misunderstood this info.
    Intel WiDi isnt supported in Win 8.1 on Toshiba notebooks BUT instead of Intel WiDi you can use Miracast.
    But Intel WiDi is not Miracast.
    Intel WiDi was developed by Intel.
    Miracast is an standard supported by developed by WiFi Allianz and Intel is a part of this Allianz
    Windows 8.1 as well as Android 4.2 support the Miracast standard.
    But this does not mean that you can use it always you need the compatible hardware parts.
    In case your TV would not support Miracast standard, you will not be able to use it

  • Cannot establish WLAN connection on my Satellite P100-10P

    Few days ago I bought Satellite P100-10P:
    - Model No. PSPAGE-01CO1LG3
    - Serial number: 47069869W which came with Vista Home Premium OS.
    I've removed Vista because of some incompatibility problems with some software. Everything works fine except my wireless. Wireless card is Intel 3945ABG and I've downloaded latest drivers as the latest software for it, but still I'm not able to connect to any wireless. I just keep getting message "unable to connect".
    Tried to work only on B or G or B/G, changed channels, registered it on MAC filters as in DHCP server, tried to use Windows Zero configuration, but still don't get any results. Please help me with this problem. I would be very grateful.
    Wireless routers on which I tried to log were: SIEMENS SE555 and DLINK DSLG684T.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    So, you cant connect to no one of the routers you have?? Thats strange, and you said you tried everything.
    Did you already tried to establish a Ad-hoc connection to another computer to see if its working? Do you use the Configfree utility from toshiba to connect to another devices or just the windows utility.
    Another suggestion is to reset a router and set EVERYTHING to default. The same on your machine and dont set some WEP/WPA or MAC-filtering.
    Just pure and unsecured connection over DHCP which MUST work.
    Would appreciate some feedback from you.
    Greetings

  • Cannot use Standby option on my Satellite Pro P200

    Hi
    I have installed XP SP2 on my P200, but it can not go into standby, it says something about RAM parity check or something?
    What can be wrong?
    Standby in Vista works fine.
    *Hardware malfunction*
    *Call your hardware vendor for support*
    *nmi: parity check / memory parity error*
    *The system has halted*

    An NMI error can be caused by a number of things.
    Bad memory, did you install any memory modules recently?
    Faulty hardware
    Bad driver
    Read this Microsoft KB for a solution:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315223
    If the RAM passes, I would run recovery to rule out a software problem. If it still happens after that, take it to a repair center.

  • WLAN not working on Satellite Pro A100

    I originally thought this was a driver problem. WLAN switch is on, and I am getting no WLAN. Worse than that, there seems to be no hardware detected.
    I've taken the panel off and the board is there, and I've reseated it. Any other ideas?

    First of all you should check if the WLan card was recognized and can be found in the device manager! Check it under Network adapters.
    If the WLan card isnt there and you see a yellow exclamation mark then you have to install a compatible WLan driver!
    All Toshiba drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba European driver page and should functions!
    But its very interesting to know if you use the Toshiba original preinstalled OS!?
    If you use this OS and the Toshiba image then everything should run correctly!

  • Satellite Pro A100 PSAA3E: What WLan driver should I use?

    What wireless software should i download to make my built in wireless work.
    I have downloaded almost all of them but they install and i see no wireless there :S
    Help please?

    Hi
    The Satellite Pro A100 were equipped with the different WLan cards; two different Wlan cards are possible; Intel and Atheros.
    All necessary WLan drivers can be found either on the Toshiba European driver page or on the Toshiba WLan portal.
    http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
    Check both drivers. One of them will work for sure!

  • Connecting a Satellite Pro A100 to a TV?

    HI there.
    I've got a Satellite Pro A100-PSAA3E and I'm trying to connect it so that it displays on my tv.
    Ive tried connecting it through the S-Video out port on my laptop to the TV via a S-Video to SCART cable and neither the laptop or the tv are picking anything up.
    I've tried every input on my TV, even rebooted the laptop with the TV already on and set to every input.
    I have also tried using a VGA-video cable and have gotten no further, even after trying everyhint i can think of.
    As far as I am aware I have the latest drivers and have tried everything I can think of.
    When ever i go into Display-Settings-Advanced-Displays, the box for the TV is completely greyed out and unclickable.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi
    From my own personal experience some s-video-to-scart cables supports the wrong pin assignment.
    I have connected my notebook to the TV but I got either only a white/grey display or nothing. I have changed the cable and bought only an s-video cable.
    This helped to solve the issue.
    One tip; on some TVs you need to enable the s-video option. Furthermore you have to use the FN+F5 key combination to switch the display on the TV
    Bye

    You cannot connect any BT device to this notebook because this has not been equipped with any BT module.
    So BT is not available for this unit.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - Resume from Sleep with IR multimedia remote control or keyboard

    Hi Guys
    I have dedicated my Satellite Pro A100 to be a media center that sits under the TV and can play networked media and DVD's etc.
    This is using Vista.
    The set up I want is that the lid is shut 24/7 365 and when I want to use it I just press "SLEEP" or power button from the remote control or keyboard and it fires up ready for action.
    POINT TO NOTE. I successfully did this with my OLD Tecra M3. However was too slow for media center and vista
    However I have set the power settings as I want etc, shut lid do nothing, and enabled hybrid sleep (preferred sleep).
    Now I CAN put it to sleep with the multimedia keyboard or remote control. BUT can I wake it?...NO!. I have thought of everything possible....gone to device manager and made sure all the options for the remote and the keyboard and the USB reciever are set to WAKE FROM SLEEP. The only thing to wake it is the power button - which defeats the purpose of it being sat there like a dvd player.
    when awake the remote and the keyboard function fine - I have made sure the batteries are recharged.
    I have the latest BIOS and speaking of BIOS's there are no S3 power options I noticed , but then there werent on the M3 and that worked fine in terms of sleep and waking with the IR.
    I come to the forum because although I know some older systems will not work with vista - IF the M3 will work - I am sure the twice as new and powerful A100 will.
    Has anyone had this before - what have I missed it must be staring me in the face.
    Thanks in advance.
    P.S Also of late the touch pad has been playing up i.e the left and right clickers swap function so one second your working as normal next minute you left click and the right clikc menu appears. Reset BIOS - rebuilt - reinstalled synaptic - no difference.
    When I worked in support for a big company when this started happening it wasnt good news - is it bad news?

    Hi
    Im not quite sure why it doesnt on your Sat Pro A100 and why it works on M3.
    But fact is that Satellite Pro A100 doesnt support the FIR (Fast InfraRed) port and the
    Tecra M3 supports the Fast InfraRed port.
    Maybe this could be the reason why you cannot enable the notebook using the infrared multimedia remote control.

  • HT204291 Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore!  I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

    Help! I cannot see the Airplay symbol on any of my devices anymore!  I have tried following all guides and troubleshooting, but to no avail. Just cannot use the AppleTV with any of my devices.

    Thanks for the link. It didn't work at first on any of the devices but then I decided to enter a manual DNS instead of an automatic configuration. Then followed the steps again from your link and it worked.
    It is not stable though as I need to reset the device for it to see the airplay. But when it is connected it stays connected for 30 minutes approx.
    Any other suggestions to keep it stable would be fantastic but at least in the meantime I have a workaround.
    Thanks

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Setup Email Using WLAN Connection - E72

    Hi.
    Did anyone manage to setup a Gmail or Windows Live Email using WLAN connection?
    1 - My internet connection has only the WLan connection. I removed my carrier internet connection.
    2 - Using the E-mail option at the menu, I type my gmail user, my password, and then nothing happens.
    3 - I tried doing this procedure without the SIM, using Offline mode. And again, nothing happens...
    Does Nokia want me to use my Carrier Connection just setup an email account using their interface and software?

    Yes for initial setup must use GPRS/3G from your provider. After the inital setup, it may or may not work with WiFi depending on your location.
