M100: Wireless network in hotels in asia

I have a problem with my Toshiba Portege M100:
Normally when you want to use the wi-fi network in an hotel in Asia, you have to connect through a popup screen that appears automatically after activating wi-fi.
For some reason it's not working anymore (the popup doesn't appear).
My other notebook still works, so the problem is not in the config of the hotel.
Is there anyone out there with some experience in this area?
Thanks in advance for helping out.
Greetings,
Henk

Hello
Which pop-up screen you mean exactly? If the WLAN card is enabled go into WLAN properties and check Wireless Networks tab. Activate Use Windows. Option and click on refresh under available networks.
All available networks will be shown. If the WLAN is not encrypted the connection is very easy.

  • Connecting to Wireless Network at Hotel

    I am staying at a Hampton Inn (Hilton hotel chain) and can't get my MacBook to work on the wireless network they have here.
    The hotel instructions to access the wireless are:
    1. Configure your wireless network card as needed. Make sure that data encryption (WEP) is disabled.
    2. Select or enter SSID "hhonors".
    3. Launch your web browser.
    4. Enter the access code provided to you at the front desk and accept the terms of use to start browsing the internet.
    Based on the instructions the hotel gave me, I turned on the computer and opened a browser window using Safari, but instead of bringing up a webpage to enter in an access code, I just got a message that I was not connected to the internet. I then opened a browser window using Firefox and got the same message. When I used the connection diagnostic, I go throught the steps, and it shows the hhonors wireless network, but when I choose, it asks for a WEP key. I even tried entering the access code as the WEP key, which, of course, didn't work.
    I can see the hhonors wireless network when I click on the AirPort, but when I select it from there I get a message that says "The selected network uses an Access Control List to restrict access and this computer is not on the list".
    The hotel has indicated they have not had anyone else having problems (and a couple folks in the lobby are on the same wireless system). I'm at this hotel for a number of days, and while they supplied me with a cable to connect through the ethernet port, I would really prefer to use the wireless (especially as the cable is very short and I am basically having to huddle in the corner on a chair). I know my AirPort works as I use wireless at home, and just left a friend's home where I used their wireless with no problem.
    Do I need to manually change the settings on my AirPort, and if so, how should it be set up?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    Hi CrysMM: I believe Craig in the previous response is correct. I have stayed at a Hilton recently and I believe I had to first select the wireless network as per Craig's instructions. Only then could I open a Web Browser an input the access code in a web page from Hilton. I hope that makes sense, if so Happy surfing.

  • In hotel w/wireless network.  ATV finds network, but does not ask me for password, so can't communicate through network.  MacBook Air, iPad and 2 iPhones connected to hotel wireless, but ATV does not ask me for the password.  Any ideas?

    I have succesfully connected a MacBook Air, an iPad and two iPhones to the wireless network in this hotel.  Apple TV can see the network and "connects" to the network, but w/o asking for password.  I expected to see a screen immediately after selecting the network that asked me for the password as did all of my other devices.  ATV did not ask me for a password.  When I go to Settings>General>Network, it shows the name of the hotel wireless network, but I can't communicate with the network.  It can't set date and time.  When I try to enter my Apple account name and password, it tells me it can't log in w/o setting date and time.
    Any ideas on how to connect to this network?

    I am having the same problem. In my hotel when I connect my laptop a screen will pop up and you have to hit the button "I Accept Terms". However I can't do that with the ATV. I called the internet provider and they said they could not help me. Any ideas? Do you think the guy just doesn't know what he can do for me? I am thinking I will call later and hope to get a different technician who might know how to help connect me.

  • I just purchased the airport Express to use in hotels while traveling to create a wireless network from the hotels wired dsl.  A friend said to set up the network from home prior to traveling.  How do I set this up?  Thanks.

    In addition to RyanJC's comments, the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can store up to five different http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108081 configuration profiles. You will need to use the AirPort Utility to create & save these profiles.
    To create a new profile:
    Open AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    Click "+" to create a new profile; give it a name, and then, click OK.
    Set options, such as network name, passwords, Internet connection method, etc.
    When done setting the options, click Update.
    To switch profiles:
    Open the AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    Click on the desired profile, and then, click OK to apply the new profile and restart the AX.
    Just remember to switch to the desired configuration profile before removing power from the AX.

  • Problem with wireless secured network in hotels

    Hello,
    I'm a cabin crew member and I travel around the world almost every week. Since the update ios 6.0, my Iphone 4 16 GB doesn't connect automatically on the wireless secured network of hotels, while it worked before the update in the same hotels. My Iphone still connects automatically on my own home network, but I must ask every time to the help desk of hotels for manually connecting, by registering my mac adress on the router. Problems in Japan (Tokyo), USA (New-York, Washington, LA) and Senegal (Dakar). I'm really upset and Apple seems not concerned. Please help me.

    Welcome to the forum.
    I'm not so familiar with Linux, though've installed and dealed with some distrs, but as far as i know they're mostly compatible with each other.
    So, check this forum (though it's Ubuntu) and try to find solution there, if no one here helps.
    Also there's a member here called wyth, which helped some Ubuntu-users, which was great. Try PM him if no help here or on that forum.

  • Using airport Express on a hotel ethernet to create a wireless network

    Hi there, yesterday I bought an airport express as I was lead to beleive it was the perfect device and simple to set up with regards to creating a wireless network from a ethernet connection in a hotel room. I seem to get a green light and seem to aquire a valid IP address of 192.168.2.102 and the AE utility doesn't state I have any problems and yet I cannot connect to the internet. I am from the UK and currently in Honk Kong on business for the next few days and desperately need to get a wireless connection sorted. I have read through many of the archives on these forum pages and it is still not certain to me whether I should be using bridged mode or not?
    btw, I can connect my pc and get internet access without any problems by ethernet directly into my pc.
    can someone advise me of the settings I should use given my scenario (ethernet connection in a hotel room). Given how much tme I have invested trying to get the AE to connect to the internet I would prefer to stick with it and get it workShort rather than taking the Airport Express back to the Apple store tomorrow and moving to a hotel with wireless and not ethernet connection.
    Help appreciated
    Russellb

    Hello, thanks for your suggestions. I have tried setting up the AE using my girlfreinds Win XP computer instead of my vista one and it setup 1st time without any problems. In fact, the options I got presented with were slightly different. Shocked at what a difference installation and setup can be from using a Vista laptop to a XP netbook. Maoin thing it is now working and you were correct about using it in bridged mode so many thanks.

  • Can I use the Airport Express to create a secure wireless network in a wireless-only hotel?

    Can I use the Airport Express to log onto an unsecured hotel wireless network, without an ethernet cable, to create a secure wireless network for my MacbookAir, IPad, IPhone, etc.? If so, how is that done?

    will the Airport Express allow you to log onto a hotel wireless network, and broadcast a secure wireless network in your room for your wireless devices, like the Ipad, Iphone, etc.?
    The bottom line with a single AirPort Express is no.
    The AirPort Express can only "extend" a wireless network when the network is being provided by another Apple router.
    As you might imagine, it is extremely unlikely that that the hotel network....which no doubt uses professional wireless access points provided by a manufacturer of commercial systems.....would be compatible with an AirPort Express.
    In many years of travel domestically and internationally, I cannot recall a time when a single AirPort Express would "extend" the signal provided by a hotel's wireless network.
    However, if you had two AirPort Express devices handy, you might be able to configure one to "join" the hotel network and provide an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort Express, which would be configured to "create" your own "private"  wireless network.

  • Can I create a unique subnetwork when extending a wireless network using Airport Extreme?

    My office building has an Airport Extreme to provide wifi to our individual suites.  I would like to create a sub-network using my Airport Extreme for my suite only that uses the wifi signal from our office building and provides internet to the computers (both wired and wireless) in my suite but have it protected so that other suites in my building can't see my computers.  Is this possible and how do I do it?  I have currently set up my Airport Extreme in wifi-mode "extending a previous wireless network" and have the router with its unique router name.  But once I extended the wireless network, I could not find the network name of my router, only the office name (the one I was extending).  The computers connected via ethernet to my Airport have internet access but none of my wireless computers see my airport name, it sees the office building network name.  I'm assuming they are connecting to my Airport since the signal level is much higher than before and it appears that my Airport is rebroadcasting the network name of my office building.  Is there a way to have my Airport broadcast its unique identifier for wifi, still connect to the internet via wifi signal to the Office building airport and maintain segregation between my computers and the rest of my office building?
    Also, when I use the Airport Utility on my Iphone, I see the internet -> the office airport extreme -> and then 2 different base stations connected in a Y.  Mine and my neighbors (who is probably doing the same thing as I am).  But there is a dotted line to my base station, does that mean I'm connected to the internet via my neighbor's airport?
    Any thoughts?

    I would like to create a sub-network using my Airport Extreme for my suite only that uses the wifi signal from our office building and provides internet to the computers (both wired and wireless) in my suite but have it protected so that other suites in my building can't see my computers.
    It is not possible to configure a single Apple AirPort router in this manner using wireless only, but it would be possible to do this with a single AirPort if you connect your AirPort Extreme to the "main" router using a wired Ethernet connection.
    As for wireless only....you could probably do what you want by using two Apple routers....an AirPort Express to join the wireless network and provide an Ethernet signal to the AirPort Extreme's WAN port. Then the AirPort Extreme could then be configured to provide a separate network using a different subnet.
    Users on the "main" network would not be able to "see" any devices on your "private" network and vice versa.
    I use the two router set up all the time at hotels that only provide a wireless signal. The first Express "joins" the wireless network and feeds an Ethernet signal to the second AirPort which is configured to "create a wireless network" in router mode.
    This way, I can connect multiple devices to my "private" network, but only pay the hotel for one connection since the hotel router only "sees" the AirPort Express that joins the network.

  • Can I do this: Use wireless network as WAN and create my own LAN.

    I travel quite a bit and many hotels now do not have wired in-room networks.
    So I'm looking for a way to use the wireless network as a wide area network and create a local network in-room behind a router/firewall, preferably with a private SSID..
    I've been reading for quite some time and am confused about whether this is even possible.
    It sounds as if I could use an airport express to join the wireless network then use the Ethernet to connect to another airport or time capsule? It sounds like joining a network on any other airport device (Time Capsule or Airport Extreme) disables all the network functions on hose devices...? I'd like to do this with a time capsule but I'm not really fond of passing my backup all over the hotel network...
    Incidentally, this is about security and not dodging charges, I almost never stay in hotels that charge for Internet. Kind of hard to believe I'm the only one that wants to do this... and if it isn't obvious I don't have any airport devices presently.

    Interim update:
    I picked up an airport express and joined it to the hotel network. I then connected the router that I carry around to the airport express and was able to connect to the internet using my SSID on the router.
    After playing with the airport utility I see that configuring any of the airport devices to replace the current router should be no issue.
    I'll maybe pick up a Time Capsule next week and finish the job.

  • TS4036 I have an Iphone 4S. I used to backup automatically to the cloud.  Since I did the software update I not longer can connect to any WIFI network!  I getthe message that it could not scan for wireless networks

    since I updated my software to the IOS 7.0.4
    I am unable to use any WIFI network
    i cannot connect to my home wifi network I am unable to do any backups.  I have backed up my phone onto my Itunes account on my computer and I reset my phone...this did nothing but lose some of my pictures.. PLEASE HELP!

    I read the article thanks.   I tried the settings-general-reset-reset network settings-reboot system-go to wifi settings-select wireless connection-select the ">"-symbol-select auto for http proxy.   I was optimistic about that because I thought I changed some setting somehow to cause this problem, but it didn't work.  More specifically, I did connect successfully and browsed the Internet for a good while, but then I put down the phone for a minute, the phone went into sleep/power save mode, and when I picked it back up a moment later it was no longer connected.  Dang.   Had to select the connection and use my password yet again. 
    Another valuable bit of info for you.   The only network with which I have this problem is my home.   I use all kinds of devices at home and no other devices have this problem.  Also, I use this iPhone all over with various wifi networks at hotels and starbucks and family's homes with no issues whatsoever.  It remembers and automatically reconnects with every wireless network except the one in my own house. 

  • Can't connect to wireless network with encryption.

    I have had no trouble connecting to hotel wireless networks, or my college wireless network. However, when I try to connect to my home network wirelessly, or another family member's network wirelessly, my connection times out when I enter the username and password. I have a MacBook Pro if that makes a difference.

    Try typing a $ in front of the password.

  • No longer able to connect and use internet on any wireless network after upgrading to iOS 6

    Everything worked great for the first few hours.  But now whenever I connect to ANY wireless network on my iPad, it connects fine.. When I do anything that involves internet, the wifi logo goes away, and a screen pops up (as if you're using a hotel wireless network) and says "apple - page not found" at the top, and is an apple.com page.  Even though there is no wireless symbol in the upper left corner, I can go to all of the links and everything, but outside of this one window the internet no longer works.
    I have NEVER seen anything like this before.
    I didn't do anything abnormal that would have caused this.
    Thank you.

  • Access connection​s does not see wireless networks but can connect if you know the SSID

    Running a Thinkpad x200 using windows 7 and Access Connections 5.42.
    A few weeks ago i was traveling and was connecting to a hotel wireless network.
    Could receive email but wasn't able to send email due to hotel port restrictions so long-story short version-- IT staff at hotel told me to connect via LAN. Which i did by simply plugging in LAN line to the thinkpad and to the hotel -- port -- no other changes. have done this a million times at home and elsewhere.
    All is well....
    until....
    I get home and i notice that when i use access connections, it doesn't see any wireless connections (no icons in the radar screen). It automatically connects to my home network and i can use the home profile to connect.  Same for any connection that i know the SSID for -- i can't see it but i can connect to it.
    But it doesn't show any icons during "find" or find again. It only shows the home icon i am connected to. If i disconnect and try to find wireless networks. It doesn't show any.
    So i know
    1) radio is working
    2) can connect via lan
    3) can connect to a known wireless if i know the SSID and either manually configure it or if i have the profile saved
    4) i have run antivirus, malwarebytes - etc -- all clean
    5) have rebooted, turned radio on off
    6) system restore doesn't help
    7)  all wireless networks are now invisible to radar screen. Have tried this at starbucks, around town - etc -- available wireless network icons are invisible
    I'm not sure that hooking up LAN in the hotel did anything but it seems too coincidental. Also seem to recall a thread where this has been known to happen.
    Help!!!

    First off, it sees the networks. That's good. You reset network settings which usually corrects a number of problems. Let's focus on your home network and getting connected to that.
    1. Reboot your router (just power it off for 10 secs). Try to connect. If it works, you are done. If not, step 2
    2. Reset your network settings again. However, this time log onto your network by tapping Settings > WiFi > Other and re-entering your network name, security settings, and password.
    Check your connection by tapping the blue > next to the network name with the checkmark. If your IP starts with 169.x, then you are connected but your router is not issuing you an IP address. This leads to a couple of additional problem areas - WEP encryption and outdated router firmware.
    If you continue to have problems, tell us which router/model, security settings used, etc.

  • "connection timed out" when connecting to outside wireless networks

    I have had trouble connecting to some wireless networks. I have no problem at home, at various cafes and such, nor at work. Some hotels or friends' houses that I've tried to connect to give me the message, "connection timed out" after I've entered the correct network and password. The router appears to work fine, since other people can get on the network. What am I missing?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    J

    Finally figured out what it was. Had to reset settings on the router after a lightning storm, contacted Linksys and they walked me through the appropriate sequence, troubleshooting on their end took about 20 mins but they were extremely helpful and very familiar with OS 10.5, all this time I thought it was the Mac's fault.
