Satellite 3000 x11 cannot use its network card

On my friend's satellite 3000 x11 I'm trying to configure it to connect to my uni halls internet, but to do that I need the MAC address. If I do ipconfig it just says "Windows IP configuration" and nothing else.
If I go to device manager there's no category for network adaptors, even though I can see the ethernet port on the back. Its almost as if it doesnt know it has on-board LAN.
Back home her brother used to use it with the built-in modem , but not the ethernet port.
Any ideas?

Hi
Some Toshiba models have an RJ45-port (Ethernet) but nothing behind it - means no network controller. The machine is prepared for LAN but no LAN built in.
So you have to get f.ex. a PC Card to hook it up to the LAN.

  • Satellite 2430-301: Cannot use 2200BG WLan card because switch is off

    Hi there,
    I have a Satellite 2430-301 which was not deliverd with any WLAN capabilities. But I discovered, that there is a MiniPCI slot in the laptop.
    So I bought an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG MiniPCI card. After I attached the card into the laptop, it was detected by windows as a new network device. I downloaded and installed the Windows XP drivers (because I have Windows XP installed on the Laptop) from Intel's homepage (9.0.4.17). The installation worked perfecly.
    Now I tried to connect to a wireless network, but the Intel software said, that the card is 'off'. So I switched the drop down menu to 'on', which resulted in an german error: "Die Intel(R) PRO/Wireless-Netzwerkverbindung ist noch deaktiviert. Aktivieren Sie sie ber Ihren Hardware-Schalter." (which means something like "The Intel(R) PRO/Wireless network connection is deactivated. Activate it with your hardware switch.").
    Although the switch already was in position 'on', I switched it several times - nothing important happend. The LED light near the switch doesn't light in either position.
    Are there any incompatibility issues between "Toshiba Satellite 2430-301" and "Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG"?
    Did I do something wrong?
    Is this damn hardware switch broken?
    Any suggestions?
    I would really be happy, if someone could help me :)
    Thanks in advance,
    thuriel

    I now pressed Fn+F8 several times. The laptop did not react.
    In the property box in the advanced tab in the 2200BG properties there is only:
    Ad Hoc Channel
    Mixed mode protection
    Power Management
    Preamble Mode
    Roaming Aggressiveness
    Throughput Enhancement
    Transmit Power
    Wireless Mode
    ...so there is no "radion on/off".
    The LED light remains off, no matter what I do.

  • HT1904 I recently received a substantial refund from purchases my grandson of 8purchased. I tunes graciously refunded the money. However now I cannot use my credit card to make purchases for thr game I play.

I WONDER IF SHE THOUGHT TO LOOK AT MY ENTIRE DOWNLOAD HISTORY AND DISCOVER THAT NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN PURCHASED ON MY ITUNE ACCOUNT IN THE AMOUNT REMOTELY CLOSE TO WHAT THEY ARE CHARGING ME NOW.  THAT IS BECAUSE I DO TRY TO MONITOR THIS ACCOUNT AND OBVIOUSLY THIS LAST PURCHASE WAS DONE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE UNTIL I CHECKED MY ONLINE BANKING ACCOUNT, WHICH I DO EVERY DAY.  TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE APP STATES IT IS FREE TO INSTALL WHEN YOU PULL IT UP SO NO ONE HAS CLARIFIED TO MY WHERE THE $99.99 COMES INTO PLAY.  I WILL NOT DROP THIS UNTIL MY BACK ACCOUNT HAS BEEN PROPERERLY CREDITED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME IT TOOK YOU TO TAKE MY MONEY. I WILL LAUNCH A COMPLAINT WITH EVERY POSSIBLE ENTITY IN THE ITUNES COMPANY AND BUSINESSES OUTSIDE THAT REGULATE THEIR BUSINESS UNTIL THIS HAS RESOLVED IN MY FAVOR AS I AM THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN VICTIMIZED BY A COMPANY I INVITED INTO MY TELEPHONE NETWORK IN GOOD FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Reading that is giving me a headache, how about normal type.

  • Replacement of rubber feet on Satellite 3000-X11

    Hi
    Does anyone know where I can get 2 replacement rubber feet for the underside of a Satellite 3000-X11? I have spent ages looking around the Toshiba site but nothing useful coming up.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    Just to let you know, I phoned the Toshiba Authorised Service Partner. I called them and although they did not have any in stock, have ordered a pack of 4 which I should get in a few weeks. Minimum order of about 15 though!!

  • Satellite 3000-X11: Four beeps at start-up, blank screen

    Hi folks,
    A friend has given me a laptop to try and fix. It's a Toshiba Satellite 3000-X11.
    Sometimes it works fine. Starts up like normal.
    Sometimes, fairly randomly, it will not start. In this instance nothing will come up on the screen at powerup. The fan will kick in. The screen is black and there are four beeps. About 1 per second. It then sits there. On, but half dead. Can hear fan from time to time.
    I've read messages on the net that suggest this is a hardware failure of some kind. What I'd like to know is if there is any easy way to know what hardware has failed. Nearly all the messages I read talked about three beeps. This is four.
    Makes no diff if I am running it from AC or battery.
    I have no idea what makes it start working again.
    I suspect (just a suspicion) that it tends to stop working after it has been moved around (i.e. picked up and moved to another desk etc.).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Also, is there a Toshiba diagnostic tool I can download and run that will test the machine out?
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    Coincidentally, I had a similar problem last night on my old S3000 laptop. I popped out a PCMCIA card while the laptop was powered up and it just hung. I rebooted it, and I got a few series of beeps and nothing else.
    After a lot of swearing. I thought I remembered something about holding down keys at power up on laptops to get them working. I powered down, pressed and held the "esc" key, then powered up. The laptop recovered, displaying a "safe boot" mode. I selected "boot from hard disk" and it seems to have been fine since...
    Hopefully that might help.

  • I cannot use my prepaid card in apple store

    Why I cannot use my prepaid card in apple store

    That happened to me to and unfortuanatly, i've done some  resarch and it won't come back. UNLESS you still have the plastic card, give them a call and they should redeem you. So next time you get a prepaid card, don't throw it away, keep it. Best of luck(:

  • Cannot configure External Network card

    I cannot connect externel Network card to the system.OS cannot see the newly installed networkcard. My OS is SOlaris 10 x86 5/08. i tried different types of Network card Realtek,Datalink. Network Card number is D-Linkk DL10038C .Couldnt find any driver for this Network card that support for Solaris.
    Can any one help me please....

    Probably as stupid question but is there a way to export the driver from OpenSolaris to Solaris 10 as OpenSolaris supports the NIC?
    By the way, I don't know if it matters but the info for my NIC on Solaris 10 appears both in */boot/solaris/devicedb/master* and */etc/driver_aliases*. It's just that the system doesn't detect it, when I run ifconfig -a it only lists the loopback interface.

    I have downloaded the latest bios 1.60 for my Satellite 3000-X11 but after making the updated bios floppy disk and rebooting my computer, it says it is the wrong bios file in the floppy. Anyone knows what's wrong?
    Thanks

    4.)Ensure the Notebook is connected to the mains.
    5.)Turn the Notebook off.
    6.)Insert the floppy disk containing the BIOS upgrade into drive A: and turn the Notebook on.

  • BIOS updating issue on Satellite 3000 -X11

    Hello,
    I found a lot of people complaining of this same issue.
    I found no solution posted. Most threads (now locked) ended with people saying "Don't update your bios if it is running okay"
    This computer is not running okay and I would like to update the BIOS.
    The issue is that the bios update says it failed due to the update not being for this model of computer.
    The laptop is a Satellite 3000-X11. I have downloaded the v1.6 BIOS update for the Satellite 3000-X11
    So I am not sure why it makes this complaint.
    Please advise if there is something more I can do here.
    Also please know the BIOS update procedure I followed was exactly per the instructions.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    (sorry about the name change. Somehow ended up with two profiles when I accessed the forums via a different country site)
    As per my original post... the computer does NOT run okay.
    That is why I wish to try updating the BIOS.
    It has issues with it not starting or starting but with a screen that is so dimmed it looks blank. Looking really hard at it I can see it is not blank, just VERY VERY dim.
    I wish to update the BIOS just in case that fixes things.
    The BIOS update complains that the PC is not the right model for this update, when it is the right model.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

  • Satellite A500-15N: Can't find Network card XP driver

    Hi everyone,
    I've just blown away vista on my new A500-15N and installed XP + SP2.
    The install went OK but I now have some issues with certain devices not working.
    They are: 3 x Base System Device's, 1 x Ethernet Controller, 1 x Network Controller, 2 x PCI Device's, 1 x SM Bus Controller, 1 x Unknown device and 1 x Video Controller (VGA Compatible).
    I thought I would be able to load some Network card drivers to enable access to the internet and then be able to download everything else, either automatically or manually. But I can't get any network card drivers to load!!!!!!!
    After loading some from the Toshiba web site, it didn't make any difference.
    I deleted and then autodetect the network card from device manager but I cannot find any of the installed drivers to get it working.
    Does anyone know what I can do to cure this or any of the other issues?
    Thanks
    MrAngry

    Hi
    Do you need the LAN or Wlan card driver or both drivers?
    As far as I know the LAN card chip is from Realtek (1GB/s) and the WLAN is Intel 5100AGN.
    The WLan driver can be found here:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
    Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300
    The LAN driver can be found on the Realtek page:
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/
    You can check the Toshiba European driver page. Other notebooks series uses the same Realtek LAN card and the driver should run too.

  • Satellite Pro A200: Recovery using a network ghost boot disk

    Hi all,
    Need to ghost several sat pro a200 machines using a network ghost boot disk. when i use the ghost disk provided by ghost boot wizard and booting into PC dos i get the message "No Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter Found!" Serious Internal Error! (hardware works OK in XP/Vista)
    i have tried booting from CD, Mem Stick and USB floppy with drivers from toshiba and realtek without any success, searches on google seem to point toward there needing to be a driver to interface with the cardbus / PCMCIA adapter - if this IS the case can anyone shed any light on the whereabouts of such a driver and how i could go about doing this?
    Many thanks,
    Gav Shakespeare.

    Sorry folks answered my own question - the network card is reported as being an RTL8134 in windows XP but is in fact an RTL8100E/RTL8101E so i was using the wrong NDIS2 Driver!. doh!
    emergency over.

  • Im running lightroom 4 and just purchased the Sony A7 and using its sd card. when I   tried to load the photos, I got a message "the files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom"

    Tried loading my raw files shot w my new Sony a7 and its sd card into lightroom4. Got a message: "The files are not recognized by the raw format in lightroom"
    Does Lightroom 4 not work with the Sony A7?
    Thanks,

    Lightroom 4 cannot read the RAW photos from a Sony A7
    You would have to download and install the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 8.5 and then convert your RAW to DNG, and then import the DNGs into Lightroom 4
    You could also purchase Lightroom 5.5, which will have the capability to read the RAWs directly.

  • Set up wireless modem without using a network card

    How can I set up my wireless router (WRT54G v8) if I do not have a working network card on my laptop? The wireless card works fine, but the wired ethernet card is shot. I have been connecting to the Internet via the USB port.
    The set up instructions assume you can connect to the Internet using your computer's ethernet card.
    I have a Comcast cable Internet modem.

    You can setup the router through a wireless connection although it is not ideal.
    With default settings the default SSID is "linksys" with no encryption. You connect to this network and open http://192.168.1.1/ Then you configure the router for your internet connection, change the SSID, enable wireless security, change the router configuration password, etc.
    It is a little bit more complicated as you have to make sure you configure your router and not your neighbor's who may also use a Linksys router in default configuration and you have a couple of disconnects after changing the SSID and after enabling the wireless security.
