Equium A100: How to connenct to WLan hotspot

I am trying for the first time to use laptop to connect to a wifi hotspot. Already working on broadband successfully at home.
Although I can get up available providers and it says connected to chosen one I can't make that "leap" to IE making a connection and logging in etc..
Despite many hours searching on web (at home!!) for an answer I can't find how to do it.
Everywhere says it's simple..... I am missing a simple point here!?

Common faults are as below:
= You need to set-up on your computer to automatically receive the IP and the DNS through DHCP.
[Many people assign manually these settings for their home-router. Hot Spots need DHCP (automatic) settings.]
This picture shows how it should be:

= Are you using a proxy server at home? Did you turn it off when you are trying to connect with a Hot-spot?
[It happens often that people forget to disable the proxy when they are mobile.]
This picture shows how it should NOT be (Number 2 should not have a tag inside the box):

  • Equium A100: How can I increase the WLan range

    Hi,
    I have an Equium A100 and wondered if I can increase the wi-fi range with any form of add on or accessory ??
    I have to balance my notebook on the windowsill of my flat to pick up my nearest "hot spot".
    Any ideas ??
    Thanks.
    Gus

    Hi
    You can increase the WLan range and the performance but you will need an additional Wlan antenna.
    For example like this [external Wireless USB Adapter|http://www.wirelessnetworkproducts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1624]
    On [this page |http://www.wirelessnetworkproducts.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=21 ] you can find also some tips and useful explanation about stronger WLan range:
    How about a litte movie ;)
    Check the Youtube for; How to Increase Your Wi-Fi Signal. Its nice and sometimes unbelievable ;)

  • Equium A100-027 PSAAQ - having problems accessing Internet with WLan

    Just installed WXP on my Equium A100-027 (PSAAQ) as Vista did not like. Now am having problems accessing Internet. What drivers do I need to download and how do I install them?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I would suggest you to check the driver site of toshiba
    -> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    search for your machine and download the wlan drivers. If you dont know which one you need just download all of them and install em, one of that drivers MUST work. ;)

  • How to connect Equium A100 and second computer via LAN

    hi,
    i was wondering if someone could help me.
    My partner and me are having some difficulties with creating a LAN between his computer and my laptop.
    Basically the gist of it is that his computer can see my laptop, but it's not recipricating.
    My laptop is the Equium A100 (XP media centre) and all we really know about his computer is that its dual pentium 4, windows XP home edition and that is is a complete pain in the rear end!

  • How to connect my Equium A100 to the TV?

    HELP.....
    I am not very good with all this tech stuff.............my age I think!!...........I am trying to connect my Panasonic TV to my PC with a VGA cable but get a 'No Signal' message on my TV..........I have been told to try a 'S' video cable but why then do I have a VGA port?
    All I want to do is watch stuff on my TV from my PC..............Any help out there please would be most welcome.,,,,,,.My Laptop is an Equium A100....

    I also think you should use S-Video cable for connection. I used it with my old Tecra M3 to connect to old Samsung TV. Everything worked fine.
    As Keany already wrote, when you connect notebook to the TV be sure right port is enabled. Maybe you can do this using AV button on the TV remote controller.
    After enabling right port on TV use FN+F5 key combination to switch from LCD to TV.

  • Equium A100-063 PSAAQE: WLan signal interrupts

    Hi
    i'm italian so excuse me for my english.
    The 23rd of March Ive bought the Notebook EQUIUM A100-063 PSAAQE.
    Unfortunately I have found a problem that I can't resolve although numerous test I've tried.
    After some minute the connection wireless to my Router DLINK DSL-G624T falls and I must repeat the procedure of connection to Internet although the radio signal is always excellent, but after some minutes the line falls again.
    I approach without proplems with pocketpc and another notebook to the same router.
    Currently I have configured WEP key but I have tried also with WAP key, and also without key, moreover I have tried various names of SSID and to set up the IP in static mode and also in dynamic mode.
    I've verified that the version of the card Wireless driver is the last one.
    Can you help me in some way, please?

    Thanks for your answer. I've verified that the probable source of my problem is due to interference on the channel radio setting. When I've changed the channel from 6 to 11 the connection is remained stable for an hour until the problem has been repeated.
    In the same time the problem has been repeat, another Access Point has been activated on the radio channel 11 like my router, therefore I've configured my router in channel 9 and I don't have more problems.

  • Equium A100-027: Is it possible to upgrade the graphic card?

    I recently received an Equium A100-027 for my birthday. Overall I'm extremely pleased with it, however the only problem I have is with the graphics card. I am a gamer, and the graphics card just can't handle most modern games.
    I am looking into how to upgrade it, how much it will cost etc. However I don't wanna buy a graphics card just to realise that the inside is locked down. Since it's only a week old I also don't want to take a hammer to it just yet ;-)
    Can anyone tell me how hard it is to upgrade the graphics card? Is it locked down, or easily accessible?

    Hi Emonn
    Unfortunately, the graphic card upgrade is not possible. I dont know if you are familiar with the notebook technology but you should know that the graphic cards installed on the notebook motherboards are not same like the GPUs for desktop PCs.
    The card a fixed and there is no way for an upgrade!!!
    You can upgrade the memory modules or the HDD on the notebooks but not the graphic card!!!
    Im also an gamer and Im a notebook owner but I dont use this unit for gaming but for usual usage like internet, programming, mps, etc
    I have a second gaming machine and its a desktop PC. Its support a water cooling module and a really great graphic card but I will change it to the newest one NVIDIA which supports the directX10.
    This is a future and all newest games will need this DrectX10!!!

  • Equium A100-147 - Where to find LAN ethernet driver

    Hello All,
    I am having problems to find the dirver for my ethernet controler...
    I went to toshiba website and on the LAN driver is not completed, it only comes with any application to unistall, doesnt have to install, problably missing....
    I could find on the web...
    I manage to install the wirelles, so i can use the net through that.... but i want to install the LAN as well...
    Does anyone knows where I can find the driver (LAN ethernet) Equium A100-147????*
    thank you very much...

    Hello
    Ive checked Toshiba page and your notebook is supported for several operating system. Which one do you want to use?
    Anyway, the driver is completed but you don't know how to install it. It is typical for LAN driver that there is no setu.exe file. Also do follow:
    Download the right driver and expand it on the desktop
    enter the device manager and open Ethernet properties
    choose option to install driver and browse into downloaded folder
    Thats it!

  • Equium A100 - can I use E drive for data saving?

    My Equium A100-27 has an 80GB hard drive, this is slit in half C drive and E drive.
    I understand that the E drive is used for system recovery purposes but can I also use it to store data on?
    If I do use it for data how much room should be left clear for system recovery?

    Hi
    I think the E partition is used for Recover image. The Toshiba notebooks are preinstalled with an Toshiba recover disk creator. This tool allows you to create a own disk. And the image is placed on the additional partition

  • Equium A100 - Recovery CD needed

    Hi
    I want to know I bought my laptop from United kindom which is Equium A100 now the problem is my laptop is too much slow and it takes 10 -15 min to boot and 10-25 to shut down.
    -My recovery CD is expired I dont use that recover so far I dont know how it expires. Now a days I am in pakistan and I want to know is there any office of Toshiba in pakistan from where I can purchase the recovery CD? If yes please mention the address and contact number. I live in islamabad pakistan.
    -Is there any backup of recovery in laptop drive or not so I will make a recovery cd from it?
    -And one more thing if I download the Windows from the Microsoft official website and use the product key which is written on the back of my laptop will it work or not?
    Please help

    Hi buddy,
    > Can any one provide me the recovery disc order page link? I try alot but didnt find it.
    Yes, read the posting above because the recovery disk can’t be downloaded. Get in contact with an authorized service provider and the guys can provide you such a disk.
    > And one more thing is there any contractor of toshiba in islambad pakistan so I can buy the recovery disc from them?
    Check the posting from Syntax to find an authorized service provider
    > Why I am unable to see the Aquium series name in the list of recovery disk list?
    It’s called *E*quium and not Aquium. Anyway, what list of recovery disk you have and where you search?
    To be honest we can discuss about this for hours but you must understand that it’s not possible to download it and if you want a new recovery disk have a look on Toshiba website and search for nearest authorized service provider. You can get in contact with the guys if you give them a call or write a short email. Then you can clarify this problem with guys directly.

  • Equium A100-02L - overheating/shutting down

    Hi folks
    My daughters Equium A100 02L keeps overheating/ shutting down. The fan underneath is choked with dust etc. I dislodged some of it by blowing and poking with a fine wire. How can I remove the fan to give it a good clean? I know I could use compressed air and try blasting it from the exterior grilles, but this may not suffice?
    any help diagrams/ video link help would be great.
    cheers

    > How can I remove the fan to give it a good clean?
    It is not so easy because the whole notebook must be disassembled. Unfortunately Maintenance manuals is not public document and on the net you can maybe find some descriptions and several pictures but I don't think it will help you much.
    The first problem is how to remove speaker cover placed on the top of the keyboard. If you do this on the wrong way you will damage small plastic holders and ...... you know what I mean.
    If the notebook is still good and your daughter is satisfied with it contact service and ask how much will cost professional cleaning.
    They will disassemble whole notebook and check how it looks inside. I saw very often that CPU grease on old notebooks is also not the best and completely desiccated. That means the CPU temperature can grow up and reach critical level. Talk with them. Maybe they can also replace CPU grease.
    Ok it costs a money but on this way you will be sure everything will be done well and on professional way.

  • Vista Ultimate on Equium A100 - 2x "Unknown Devices"

    Equium A100-306 with XP Media Centre Edition.
    Stickered as Ready so done clean install of Vista Ultimate (x64).
    Now I have 2 "Other Devices" in Control Panel.
    Did have 3, as Mass Storage Controller was in there too!
    There is an x64 TI xx21 version that does not work, available from Download Centre.
    Anyone know how I can track/identify the devices &/or the missing drivers?
    Used DriverMax and online Update Driver but nothing shows.
    PLUS - anyone knowledgeable about the A100-306 with T5500 duo proc......
    Is this a true 64 bit device or is it a 32 bit system running a 64 bit processor?
    I have x64 Vista loaded which should show 4Gb or more, but it still reads 3062Mb.
    Having read lots, I find that some people differentiate between system and processor capability, others do not.
    Is it possible to have a 64bit processor in a 32bit system?
    Why has this issue not been solved?
    If it is a 32bit system, why should we bother putting x64 OS on it?
    Confused on this so any help would be great.
    Yep! I have latest BIOS.
    Oddly enough, I did get XP_MCE to show 4GB RAM immediately after BIOS upgrade.
    Finally, Thanx to everyone who has asked (& replied to) all those other questions I had.
    I came, I searched, I got the answer.......
    Just the above to sort & I'm a v. happy bunny.

    Please not that the Toshiba Vista 64bit drivers are not available on the Toshiba page and therefore some unknown devices can appear in the device manager because of the not installed drivers!!!
    > anyone knowledgeable about the A100-306 with T5500 duo proc...... Is this a true 64 bit device or is it a 32 bit system running a 64 bit processor
    Intel Core2 Duo Mobile T5500 is known as a Merom/64Bit CPU.
    > Is it possible to have a 64bit processor in a 32bit system?
    Yes, the CPU supports 64bit OS and 32bit OS
    > If it is a 32bit system, why should we bother putting x64 OS on it?
    You can install everything what you want but the question is if you will get all the right drivers

    First of all you must be sure if your notebook has BT or not. Every notebook with BT has a BT label at the bottom site. Check it at first. Later we can continue discussion how to connect your mobile phone with Equium A100.
