Satellite A100-003 WLAN connection timeout(with WPA-PSK)

I have a Satellite A100-003 notebook with preinstalled Windows Vista.
When I try connect to my router with WPA-PSK (TKIP) I have error:
Wireless authentication failed because of a timeout.
My notebook and router configurated correctly!! I installed new intel drivers for 3945ABG chip.
WPA2-PSK and WEP work fine.

Hi
The same happened on my old notebook.
I was not able to establish the WLan connection for longer than 1min with WPA encryption.
I have downloaded the newest Atheros driver and updated everything.
Everything works fine with WEP but not WPA.
Then I have disabled the Windows own configuration option and use the Atheros client utility. Now everything works fine!
I would recommend using the Intel Proset utility and check all possible settings!

  • Wlan connectivity issue with E71

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect my E71 to my NETGEAR wireless DG834GT router and there is this consistent problem of E71 successfully loading the first page but hang on the subsequent clicks. I tried to disable the security setting on my router and it works perfectly.
    However when i try to enable back my security with WPA-PSK preshared key, the problem arises. I notice that during creation of access point in E71, when i enter my password for the preshared key, the display always show 4 asterisks despite the fact that i have a 9 character password. Is this a bug with nokia e71 ? How am i going to resolve this ? Any help is deeply appreciated as my main reason for getting a E71 is to surf in wlan with security enabled.
    thanks and regards
    Andrew

    It was basically this:
    "In response to your email, I would suggest trying the following steps to connect to WLAN:
    1. Menu > Web > Options > Settings > General > Access Point > Always Ask
    2. Select one of the available Bookmarks or open a web page of your choice
    3. When the phone prompts you to connect to a server, select "Yes"
    4. The phone will populate a list of Available Access Points
    5. Scroll and look for Search for WLAN
    6. Select your WLAN provider
    6. Key in any passwords or pass-keys required to authorize you to access the WLAN network
    In the event the above-mentioned steps do not resolve the issue, I would suggest switching off any security features of your WLAN router and testing your phone once again or you may also test your phone with a free WLAN network service which is usually available at cafes.
    Please take note that you would be required to contact your Internet Service Provider on the details which needs to be keyed in while creating the WLAN access point.
    However, in the event that your phone does not work with a free WLAN service or after you disable the security features of your WLAN router, please take the phone to your nearest Nokia Care Point. They will assess if a repair is required and advise if this may be covered under the warranty."
    I had already explained to them that all works ok without any security. With network security, no go.
    I politely sent this back and have asked them (again.....) to escalate, which they have said they will now do. Please contact Nokia Care with the same issue as the more people that tell them, the more they will take it seriously, hopefully.
    They will need your IMEI, software version (type *#0000# from home screen), product code (beneath battery) and details of your router.
    Cheers.

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

  • Slower connection with WPA-PSK

    Hi, I'm new to Apple and the whole Apple discussion board.
    I recently converted to Mac and have one of the new 20" Intel iMacs. I looked through the available discussions but none of them quite addressed my issue:
    I recently received a new 2Wire router from ATT-Yahoo DSL. I have it connected by ethernet cable directly to my old PC, and my Mac connects wirelessly via Airport.
    For security reasons, I tried to switch my encryption from WEP (which was the default) to WPA (WPA-PSK is what actually showed up as the option on the 2wire site), and when I did, the wireless connection was dramatically slower. So slow that I couldn't stream music from sites like rhapsody. When I switched back to the WEP default code, the problem seemed to correct itself.
    1) Is there something I needed to adjust as well, either on the Mac or on the 2wire site, when I changed the encryption to WPA, to avoid the slow-down?
    2) How great is the security advantage of WPA over WEP? I've configured the settings so that my wireless network doesn't appear automatically on other people's computers.
    I'm new to the wireless game as well. Thanks for anybody's help to the above.

  • Connection timeout with Apple WiFi devices

    Ok, here's the scenario.
    The important thing to remember is that all was working well, as happy as 'larry the lamb'. Being that I was running Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro 8,3 while accessing the internet through my iPhone 4 using it's Personal Hotspot feature (with iOS 4.2.5/4.2.6 running on the iPhone 4). Internet thethering worked beautifully between the MacBook Pro & iPhone4 and all was well. Some time before this I had used the Time Capsule's WiFi for internet access with NO problems (when I had dedicated broadband), but then switched to using mobile tethering (personal hotspot feature).
    I then upgraded to OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511) the day it was released and did this over a friends fast internet connection using cable ethernet connection for quicker speed. While I was doing this, I also downloaded the latest iOS update for my iPhone 4 being iOS 4.3.4 (8K2).
    Then the problems started.. I have not been able to connect to the iPhone's Personal Hotspot, nor the Time Capsule's WiFi and neither the Airport Express unit  (that plugs straight into the power socket). All three devices say 'connection timeout'. Resetting them either physically (reset button) or through the Airport Utility using an ethernet link (in the case of time capsule and airport express) make no difference.
    I wish I never updated the iPhone iOS and previously put of updating it for the previous few updates because the tethering worked so well on it, therefore I would want to downgrade it to iOS 4.2.5/4.2.6 again (need to locate and re-download those two versions and accuire instructions - if anyone could help, would be very appreciated?).
    Now this is the strange thing:- Although I cannot connect to the Apple Time Capsule, Apple Airport Express and iPhone Personal Hotspot (getting the 'connection timeout' error all the time), I am however able to connect to a non-Apple device Vodaphone 3G WiFi point. The Vodaphone 3G device is a 3G USB mobile dongle that is plugged into it's own dedicated small WiFi base station.
    I am at a loss as to what is going on here?

    I can totally understand your frustration and it ***** that you are having to experience it. I do know that for me yesterday the Apple.com page was down all day. I could connect to any other website, but not the Apple.com website. However, that doesn't solve your issue.
    I would advise you to break down your issue by each component and then work to solving them one at a time. I would first look into getting your machine connected to the internet first. If you have no way of getting it connected to the internet without using the other devices you mentioned at your home network, then go to a friends or to a place where you can test your machine's ability to stay connected to the internet through a different network. This will allow you to rule out the posibility that the issue is isolated to your machine/OS. If you find yourself still having connectivity issues, then work on solving them before introducing your other devices to the problem.
    Once and if you solve the issue with your machine I would then start looking into your home network and the devices you are using (i.e. Time Capsule, Airport, etc.) and be sure to check to see if you have the latest updates for them: http://support.apple.com/downloads/#airport
    For my own network, I use a modem (ARRIS) and router (Linksys E2000) and have had no issues with any of my machines (running Lion) or any of my other devices (i.e. iPhones, iPods, printers, etc.) connecting to my Wi-Fi network. I do however have family and friends that are using the same devices as you, but are not having any issues. However, none of them are using their iPhone's HotSpot and neither myself or anyone else has updated to iOS 4.3.5.
    I truly wish I could be me more of help, but the truth of the matter is when dealing with networks that deal with many different devices there are just so many variables that can be at play in regards to the issue, that you truly just have to take it one step at a time until you isolate the source of the issue at hand.

  • Late 2013 15" Retina Macbook Pro - wifi connection timeout with one router

    Hi,
    I've recently purchased a new Macbook Pro retina 15 inch late 2013 model. Everything is fine at home, but at work I cannot connect to one wireless router (Netgear WAG102). The computer tries to connect but I get a connection timeout error after a few seconds for every attempt.
    I have tried every suggestion for wifi issues that I can find on the forums, and have reset the router.
    A colleague has also recently purchased the same computer except 13 inch model - he has exactly the same problem.
    Any suggestions? I suspect given that two of us have the same problem that there is an incompatibility with the MBP and this particular router. I notice that there are quite a few discussions about similar issues with the macbook pro.

    I too have a MBP Retina, 15", late 2013, and am having wifi connection issues.  I've tried several fixes suggested on these discussions and by Apple.  Nothing corrects the problem.  I've been told it's my router, but I find that difficult to believe give that my wife has a MBP 13" 2012 (non retina), that has no issues at all, nor do our iPhones.  It's just my MBP Retina. 
    My issue seems to be when waking from sleep, I lose the wifi connection.  I have to turn wifi of then on again, and it reconnects.  The only thing that corrects the problem for me is when I disable bluetooth.  I have the magic mouse and it's basically useless becuase I need bluetooth on for it to work.
    I find this to be an annoying problem.  This is my first MacBook, and I really like it, but this wifi thing is bad.  Never had this problem with my Windows machines. 

  • Satellite M100: Slow WLan data transfer with 3945ABG Intel Wlan card

    Have just popped a brand new M100 with XP upgraded to SP2 onto our network and am having trouble with the Wifi.
    Everything works, just really really slowly. Takes about 5 minutes to drag an MP3 off the file-server, web pages download at the speed of a dial-up modem and my beard doubles in length waiting for even a modest flash file to load.
    Have tried the following so far...
    - Speed is good on the ethernet cable, just not on the wifi.
    - Connection speed is good on the wifi (11Mbps) and signal strength is excellent.
    - All other laptops on the network are working fast
    - I have updated the drivers to the latest provided by intel, no change
    - I have applied all service packs and updates to XP (was a brand new box yesterday)
    - Disabling various modes on the driver make no difference
    - Switching off the QoS mode in the network panel doubled the trickle of data
    I see from earlier posts that I'm not the only one who has had this problem with the Intel 3945ABG chips, but I don't see a solution posted. Has anyone had success is solving this kind of problem.
    The data throughput is barely usable for internet access and quite inoperable for LAN filesharing or Skype.

    Sounds weird. If PCMCIA WLan card gives you good speed it means that there is nothing wrong with your Internet connection, just with built-in wlan card.
    You probably should use your warranty services or better yet to return it to the shop and get a new one straight away.
    In my country if something brakes within a few days after purchase you don't need to send it to repair under warranty because the shop usually agrees to replace it with new one if they have it in stock.
    There is one thing I think you better try: Take it to your friend who has wireless network or to the nearest free hot spot, connect to internet from there and see what speed you get.
    It could be, though longshot, that your router has compatibility issues with this specific built-in wlan card.
    For example I also have a slight compatibility issue between my d-link router and built-in intel wlan card, but it is about security protocols and not the speed.
    Overall it seems to me that this intel wlan card is not that good.

  • N91 Podcast client over WLAN with WPA-PSK - downlo...

    Hi all,
    I'm using a N91 (2.20.008) and the Nokia Podcast Client (1.00.3) to download podcasts via my home network (router Zyxel P-2602HW-D1A). N91 can fine see my network but the connection is unreliable on the N91. I have several laptops and it works fine for them.
    What happens is that the podcast client will start to update all podcasts, but nothing happens all the small "circles" just hang. If I try to download one podcast it will sometimes work, but mostly the Podcast client will only download 2% and then hang. Each time I have to drop the WLAN connection and reestablish it to get the next 2%.
    So for me it seems that the client waits and waits for something that doesn't happen or some weird loop is taking place.
    Is there any fix for this?
    N91: 2.20.008
    Nokia Podcast Client: 1.00.3
    Router: Zyxel P-2602HW-D1A
    WLAN Encryption: WPA-PSK

    Ivan,
    Ok, that makes sense. So yes, as far as I know, the logs are not super helpful when it comes to MAC filtering pass/fail, but you will find generic messages related to MAC filter events. Filtering for MAC is a layer 2 association-level event, so if a client does not pass, you will see an SNMP log message like:
    Sun Mar 18 20:23:52 2012          Client Association Failure: MACAddress: Base Radio MAC: Slot: 0 User Name:unknown IP Addr: unknown Reason:Unspecified ReasonCode: 1
    If they pass, then you will see:
    Sun Mar 18 20:29:05 2012          Client Association: Client MAC: Base Radio MAC : Slot: 0 User Name:unknown IP Addr: unknown
    If you are not seeing these messages, make sure you have SNMP trap controls turned on for Client association and association failure events:
    I have done some more testing today and I am not running into the issues that you are seeing. In my setup, named clients can associate and unlisted clients are failing to associate. At this point I would recommend that you try upgrading your code to 7.0.220.0 or higher. My testing was done on 7.0.220.0.

  • Satellite A100-797 - Is it compatible with Windows 7?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-797 notebook and would like to upgrade to Windows 7 as it becomes available. When I run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor it shows me a couple of errors that make the upgrade impossible.
    The following devices are incompatible with Windows 7 according to the Upgrade Advisor:
    - Bluetooth ACPI
    - Bluetooth RFBUS
    - Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller
    As I understand from this, after upgrading to Windows 7 Blueooth and the card reader will not work. I searched on the net for driver updates, but could not find any.
    Can anyone please tell me if there is an Windows 7-compatible driver available for these devices and if not, when are they going to be? Thanks in advance :)

    Hi
    Theoretically you can install Windows 7 on every notebook but the point is if you will get all drivers for it and Windows 7.
    At the moment nobody can say what Toshiba notebooks will support Windows 7. I think we have to wait until the official driver release starts. This should be taking until Windows 7 will be released official because on Vista and XP it was the same.
    In worst case you have to collect the drivers on external websites. Therefore you can search on the manufactures website of the chipset for example (Intel).

  • Connection timeout with third party router

    Recently went to Apple store to fix wireless connection problem.  Per their recommendation, reformatted and reloaded Snow Leopard (at their store) hoping to get my macbook reconnecting to wireless router (netgear). Have another macbook, itouch, ipad2, and pc that all connect to the same router, no problem. The problem MB connected at the Apple store no problem. Now that I am back home, this older MB continues to have the 'connection timeout' reading.  Researched a ton on the internet. Found no solutions. Any suggestions?

    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu bar item to turn AirPort/Wi-Fi off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort/Wi-Fi menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort/Wi-Fi item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort/Wi-Fi connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".  Note that the fix this step implements may be temporary.
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( _not_ <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    These steps may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try.  Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them.  If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • Connection timeout with derby

    Hi All
    i am using derby as my database. i am new to derby, using it only becuase it is light weight.
    what about the connection timeout parameter in derby.
    i have checked the urlAttributes given in apache site (derby developers manual)
    But no attribute is present for this parameter.
    i am a regular user of mysql.
    in mysql we do have socketTimeout parameter for timeout functionality which will help us to avoid the hang stated
    do we have anythinng like that for derby
    i am using the java JDBC for connecting to the database
    Thanks
    Vijay Sunder

    Interesting. I didn't find anything either.
    Actually timeouts in connection strings is rather new, older drivers didn't allow it, so maybe it doesn't either.
    You can get the source and look it up. Might just be a doc bug. And if not there you could add it.

  • E71X WLAN Connectivity Errors with apps

    I'm experience two types of errors:
    1)OVI Store and Media net browser apps return the error: "WLAN connection already active. Close it and try again."  When I first bought the phone I was able to access the OVI store through Wifi.  This error prevents this Ovi Store from accessing the WIFI connection.
    2) Even thought the phone shows that it is connected to the access point, when I startup the Opera Web browser, it prompts for a WLAN connection.  I would think that Opera or any other
    I think that these two symptoms are tied to the same root cause.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I'm hoping that this is a settings \ configuration fix. 
    Thanks!

    I can tell a idea about your second question. If your phone already connected to the access point opera browser will ask to connect to internet. It is a matter of the application not a bug of your phone. There are some settings to Opera mini application. There is a option as communication . Under that option there is connectivity. It is normally selected as ask first time only. That is you opera mini ask for the internet connection although it is already connected to the internet. If you don't wish to happen it again you have to select always allowed.

  • Smart Phone O2, Dopod, iPaq can't authen with WPA-PSK(TKIP)

    I used Cisco AP 1100 and WPA-PSK (TKIP) My notebook can authenticated but smart phone can't it. I see log at AP "authentication failed" What happen?

    Hello,
    I have similar problem. We have wireless handhelds same firmware version however different types of wireless cards. The old type has Cisco AIronet 350 and the new ones have Wistron 802.11G. The new ones can authenticate successfully using WPA + TKIP. The old ones don't authenticate and I get authentication failure on the access point log.
    I appreciate if anybody can give me some ideas.
    Remark: I connected my laptop and directly connects as well. It is only the old type of handhelds having the Cisco Aironet 350.
    All handhelds have windows CE 5.0 and latest drivers and firmware installed.
    Thanks,

  • Fake WLAN Connection Timeout messages with Mini + Airport

    I have seen this to be a common problem both in these forums and on the internet. I have also seen this hasn't been commented at all by Apple, which makes it all the more frustrating.
    Something happens with some Airport configurations (I'm getting it on an Intel Mac Mini) where Airport just stops working.
    The problem is that the Mini won't connect to any WLAN, no matter the authentication method nor signal. It will always give a "timeout" error when trying. Will always ask for the passphrase/key again.
    As I said, it's EMBARRASSING that Apple doesn't acknowledge or provide workarounds for these issues. This is the second problem I find today which is publicly known and for which Apple hasn't said a thing (the other is that sometimes iTunes will stop recognizing iPhones/iPod Touches in Windows hardware if other USB devices are connected and/or the WLAN is active, ridiculous and a workaround found by users, but never acknowledged by Apple).
    I've seen the rest of the threads, so to preemptively save everyone the time to suggest things I know are not the issue:
    -No Time Capsules are involved.
    -No Airport Extreme is involved.
    -No Airport Base Stations are involved.
    -No software/firmware updates are pending.
    -No problems exist on the router. Windows PCs, iMacs, Linksys WET11 bridges, iphones and ipod touches connecter perfectly.
    -Tried WPA, WEP and Open WLAN. I don't need to know why WEP is worse than WPA. I know all about it and it's not the issue.
    -Resetting the PRAM and deleting the SystemConfiguration folder didn't do squat.
    -The problem is with all WLANs, not just mine. The router is irrelevant. It can't connect to any of the 4 currently available.

    I have a similar problem. Though I couldn't get my Mac Mini (just got it 2 weeks ago) to ever connect through AirPort. My router (LinkSys) is in the same room as the mini. Sometimes mini can't even see my network but it does see a couple of other WLANs in my proximity.
    I have no problems finding and connecting with my black MacBook and my girlfriends HP Pavilion.
