Satellite C660-108 - No Automatic internet connection

I bought a replacement laptop last weekend - a Toshiba C660 - 108 - which is giving me a problem.
I cannot get the computer to connect automatically to the internet router (Orange) as it fails to connect initially even though the network is always visible. I then require to go upstairs to the router, press the wifi button and then i can connect. This works fine until either i lose connection or switch off when i find again I have to repeat the process.
We have three other Toshiba laptops in the house which all work happily and automatically.
Have tried to connect with virus protection disabled and no different so no conflict there I think.
Have checked that i have latest driver and do.
Have noticed though that when i bring up the list of available networks within range, my connection does not have a check box for "Allow to connect automatically" whereas the others listed do. I have checked all properties and boxes are ticked to allow auto connection.
When i use my laptop at work it connects to the network automatically without any problem ( work's is a BTConnect router).
Have spent all week looking for a fix for this on forums and would be obliged if anyone can tell me what's able to be done to allow an automatic connection.

I purched a similar model (C660-11K) from Amazon UK 5-days ago. Initially all seemed okay and then I had problems connecting to the internet.
After much checking and testing (WLAN card and router) I stumbled upon the fact that I could connect and use the internet when the laptop was connected to the charger but not when running on battery power. Wierd!
So then I went to Realtek website, downloaded and installed the latest driver for the RLT8188CE Wireless LAN. Everthing is now working correctly: on mains or battery.
I hope that this is of help to you, and gets you working.

Satellite C660-108 does not boot if USB Bluetooth dongle connected

Hiya,
I hope you would help me.
I am having an issue with my bluetooth dongle and satellite c660-108.
It works all perfectly. It connects devices via bluetooth and I can do everything I want.
But then when I am shutting down laptop and turning on again it won't go if the bluetooth dongle is still in the usb socket.
I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with black screen and blinking cursor in top left corner.
I have to turn it off, take out the bluetooth dongle and then turn it on again.
And then windows starts. After that I have to put in bluetooth dongle again if I want to work with it.
It is not a huge issue but it is a bit annoying when I have to take out the bluetooth and put it back again to get the windows started.
I am currently running under win 8.1 but had it already with win 8.
Anybody any ideas??

>I see Toshiba screen and then it hangs with black screen and blinking cursor in top left corner.
Mostly the blinking cursor appears because the notebook cannot find an bootable device.
It looks like the unit cannot switch to the HDD while the USB dongle is connected.
I would recommend you checking the booting order in the BIOS.
Set the HDD at the first place and the USB as last possible booting device.
Save the changes and check if it helps.

Battery is not charging on Satellite C660-108

I've just bought a new Satellite C660-108 as a Christmas present. The laptop worked fine for a while but then I noticed that the Windows 7 power icon stated that the battery wasn't charging (even though it was correctly inserted, both sliders were in the correct position, the power cable was plugged in and switched on). Sure enough when the battery ran down the computer died.
Current situation is that the computer will run fine with the power cable if the (now dead) battery is removed but it won't switch on with the battery inserted (whether the power cable is plugged in or not).
Is this a fault with the battery or the laptop?

Hi,
Follow Silas's advice. I have posted battery charge issue from toshiba technical support knowledge base
If you experience difficulty in charging the battery, or if the battery capacity has decreased over time, the following procedure might re-condition the battery:
Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and turn it on. Let the computer run under battery power until the computer turns off, indicating that the battery is fully discharged.
Remove the battery pack.
Using a soft cloth, wipe off the battery packs connectors and the AC adapters connectors.
Re-insert the battery pack.
Plug the computer into the AC adapter and check the wall outlet, making sure the connection is firm.
With the PC turned off, let the battery charge until the battery status light or icon glows green.
Unplug the AC adapter.
Remove the battery.
Wait 30 seconds and re-insert the battery.
Plug the AC adapter back in.
Let the battery recharge until the battery status light turns green or the icon displays 100%.

How to dial automatically internet connection in firefox browser at browser startup as in internet explorer

i have ADSL modem broadband connection in which i have to connect to internet by establishing a connection by using following steps
control panel>network connection>create a new connection>connect to internet>set up my connection manually >connect using dial up modem OR connect using a braodband connection in which username and password required
creating this connection i have to provide username and password provided by ISP.
i have to dial internet connection manually after modem set local area connection automatically
i found a solution for internet explorer and by changing setting internet explorer start automatically dialling internet connection as i start the internet explorer.
is their in mozilla firefox an option to automatically dial internet connection as i open firefox browser?
and is their is any solution for as i start my computer internet connections established automatically without opening any browser , if such solution is available ,please tell about it.

The setting you set in IE also affects Firefox. For example, if you set the following, then when Firefox makes a connection request to Windows, Windows is supposed to dial the connection:
Windows Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections or <br>
Internet Explorer Tools menu > Internet Options > Connections
"Dial whenever a network connection is not present"

Re: Satellite 1670 - Back to 98SE - Internet connection problems

I have been using W2K on my 1670 for sometime, but it was slowish, so I decided to put in the recovery disks and get 98SE back.
As the laptop is quite old and does not have ethernet as hardware, I also installed a PC Line Ethernet Card Bus, and this has been properly installed in device manager.
Have upgraded to IE6, been through the Internet connection wizard, LAN settings, automatic proxy server etc.. However, the IP address is still zero. I can't adjust the ethernet connection and there are options to adjust dial up, but as I'm not using this this may be futile.
Is there a known problem here? I had no problem with my Portege 4000 which had ethernet installed as part of its hardware.

After 10 years Microsoft haven't produced an alternative for low RAM systems made for 98 - ME: terrible, 2000: OK, but too slow for this particular laptop, XP: not viable although I've seen many people put this on computers made for 98- not good, Vista: no comment.
This is only a spare system anyway and not my main laptop.
Yep- I am connected to broadband router. There's no firewall. I got IP address information from a linux live cd on the same system and tried to assign manually last night but it didn't work.

Automatic internet connection

Probably a basic question but, when I start mac book pro the internet connection does not connect automatically. What setting has to be configure so when the computer is started it automatically connect to the net.
Thnx,
C

are you trying to connect with ethernet cable or wireless? Because if it wireless, it may have something to do with your router security like WEP.

Satellite C660-108 WLAN disconnects on battery power

Have tried to post on an older theread but they are locked as resolved. Well mine isn't. Usual problem of WLAN being fine on mains adaptor but WLAN disconnects from internet intermittenetly on battery power. I have...
- Adjusted the power save settings
- Deleted the WLAN (Realtek 8188CE) driver
- Installed a new driver from the Realtek site
- Enabled the 802.11d which was disabled.
What have I missed? There's clearly a need for Toshiba to fix this problem with a proper patch.
Thanks in anticipation..

Satellite L750 - Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Internet connection issue

I purchased a Toshiba Satellite L750 and a Linksys/Cisco Modem Router WAG120N at the beginning of June and have had trouble ever since connecting to the internet.
I have a desktop PC hard wired to the modem and don't have any problems accessing the internet. The laptops wireless internet connection keeps either dropping it or not displaying a webpage (even though it says it is connected). It will only run efficiently when connected by ethernet cable directly to the modem. Linksys have told me they believe the Atheros is not compatible with the modem and to contact Toshiba and ask them for the latest download to update the driver adaptor. I am currently running the one listed in the heading.
Can anyone help? I don't know much about these things. Thank you.

Hi Lisa C,
Do you have these issues on preinstalled Windows 7 version from Toshiba or on your own Windows installation?
Does it happen in eco mode or maximum performance too?
This issue could be related to power saving function of your WLAN card. In Windows power management you can disable the WLAN power saving function. You have to set it to maximum performance for every power profile.
Furthermore a WLAN driver update is always recommendable. You can download the latest version on Toshiba WLAN portal:

Automate Internet Connection Sharing

I'm trying to create a couple of Automator workflows or AppleScripts to turn on and off Internet Connection Sharing, preferably with different SSIDs depending on my location (I don't mind having separate workflows/scripts for each SSID). It doesn't look like there are any Automator actions for this so I tried recording my actions, but that's not working. The slightest twitch of the mouse throws off the running script and even if I totally let go of the mouse it's not getting the selections done correctly (for example, instead of opening the System Preferences pane, it keeps going to Mac OS X Software on the Apple Menu).
Can anyone help me out with this?
(Cross-posting in Automator and AppleScript forums)

Hi,
First of all, to open system preferences, try using the "Launch Application" function in automator and choose System Preferences. This should solve the mouse problem because it doesn't rely on mouse clicks.
Then, for all other functions where you need to record mouse clicks, try using a separate recording for each mouse click.
Make sure you set the execution speed for each recording to maximum before saving as applications, otherwise they will take forever to run and you'll have more chance of small mouse movements disturbing the script between clicks.
I set up scripts in this way to do the same thing you are talking about, except mine where for file sharing with different individuals on my network. So far I haven't had any problems.

"Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" - Satellite C660-108

Got a new laptop for Christmas yesterday and it worked fine yesterday, I came home this evening and it wanted me to click restore and then restart. I done that, now every time I go to turn the machine on it brings up the message "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" and a saying about having any external devices plugged in and to remove then (which I don't)...
Phoned "The Tech Guys" they said it was probably because when i started the laptop so many updates etc have happened and one of them have gone wrong and I need to phone back with the receipt and they will go through it with me.
So I plan to do so, but I would like it if people could give advise on how to fix this.
Thanks :)

Hi
As I understood the last message; the HDD recovery could be started properly but you are not able to log in the Windows. Is it right?
Did you try to repeat this procedure once again? If not, do this and try to recover the notebook using HDD recovery.
Before you would start the recovery again, please go to BIOS pressing F8 and set the BIOS to default settings. Save the changes and try the HDD recovery.

Automatic Internet Connection at Night

I often leave my eMac (OS 10.2.8) on at night, having read in MACHOME that OS X performs routine maintenance between 2-5 a.m. However, in the morning, my screen shows that I am connected to the Internet, even though I have disconnected the prior evening. Any ideas as to why this happens? Should I be concerned? Thanks.

Another thing you could do is create a new network location and make it null. I have this arrangement to disconnect when I wish. Once made, this new location can be selected in the  Location menu. Selecting Automatic will put you back on-line.
This way you could leave it on all night and it won't be able to connect, but you have received good instruction anyway on how to do the maintenance routines yourself.
As to what is causing the connection; this is an odd circumstance to encounter.

Satellite P750 - touch pad and internet connection not working

Touch pad stopped working a few months ago and now can only get internet via the modem. Apparently need a new driver.
Where do I access this and how do I get the touch pad working again.

Hello
At first check what is the status of all hardware components (WLAN, LAN and touchpad) in device manager. Be sure all components are installed properly.
All necessary drivers you can download from Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/dow...ivers_bios.jsp
It is not easy to say what is wrong with touchpad. Be sure the touchpad is enabled properly.

Cannot use HDMI port on my Satellite P855-108

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite P855-108.
When I connect the computer to a external monitor, this works perfectly with VGA but this does not work with HDMI (see error message here: [http://s4.postimg.org/5mzl8adnx/Erreur.jpg]).
I tested on 1 computer screen and 3 TV (with the certainty that the HDMI cable is ok).
One of these TV is a Toshiba TV with REGZA-Link.
Normally, the drivers are updated.
Thanks a lot for your help

Thank you for your feedback.
Hey ! I don't know how that is possible but *I just tried again now to answer your question and it works on my screen here !*
I will try on my TV this evening and I come back to you...
Maybe an automatic Windows update solved the problem...
Keep fingers crossed for the same result with my TV ;).

RAM upgrade up to 8GB on Satellite C660-180

Hey guys,
Thanks a lot for taking a look at my post.
I have Satellite C660-108. I'm thinking of upgrading ram from 3 GB up to 8 GB.
I will be very grateful if someone could answer my questions before I make a purchase.
This is a Ram model. I'm thinking of buying.
Kingston HyperX Plug in and Play DDR3 1600MHz CL9 8GB SODIMM Memory Module
I wonder if it would fit to my laptop ?
Also I found this on C660-108
Type : Intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD
memory amount : up to 1,273 MB shared memory with 3 GB system memory installed, and up to 1,696 MB with 4 GB system memory, (with pre-installed 64-bit operating system)
memory type : shared .
If I upgrade ram up to 8 GB would it mean that my graphics system memory will be up to 3,392 MB as well ?
Thank you so much.
Kit

According to Toshiba notebook spec page, the 8GB RAM (2 x 4GB) are definitely possible.
Kingston is a good RAM manufacturer and provide good quality modules.
The RAM modules should support following sepcs:
DDR3 1066MHz (PC3-8500)
The CPU PENTIUM P6100 (2.00GHZ) supports an 1.066MHZ FSB and therefore the PC3-8500 should run at full speed 1066MHz
> f I upgrade ram up to 8 GB would it mean that my graphics system memory will be up to 3,392 MB as well ?
More RAM means a bigger part can be shared with the GPU but this is controlled by graphic card driver automatically.
