Satellite M30-107: WPA and WEP security software

I wish to connect my Satellite M30-107 P-M 745 to an up-to-date MIMO G+ wifi network.
I have bought a router and PCMCIA adapter card.
I wish to set-up WPA and WEP security - do I need any special Toshiba software on the PC itself to do this, or do I just use the software that came with the Router and adapter card?
Thanks

Hi
First of all you cannot both Wlan encryption WPA and WEP together.
You can use either WPA or WEP. I would recommend using WPA because its safer.
I agree with Barrie. If you want to use one of this encryption you should be sure that the WLan card and the router support this features.
In my knowledge most of the newer Wlan routers supports WEP and WPA. In this case you have only check the WLan card if the option is available or not.
By the way: You don't need any special software to set the encryptions.
You can set the encryptions also in the Windows own WLan configuration area.

Satellite M30-107 does not boot correctly after Recovery disk usage

Hi
I've recently got hold of a second hand toshiba Satellite M30-107 laptop, and decided to freshen it up.
I used the toshiba recovery disk, but after doing so the laptop no longer loads windows.
When turned on it shows the Toshiba start up disk for about a second then goes to a blank screen and freezes.
When turned off and on again a screen comes up reporting an error in shutting down and gives the options to start in safe mode etc. but choosing any of the options causes the machine to freeze.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
Sounds a little bit like the notebook does not boot due to the Windows software issue
Did you recover the M30 with the original Toshiba recovery CD which was supplied with this M30 unit?
Maybe Im wrong but for me it looks like a wrong recovery CD was used and an image with non compatible drivers was installed
You could try to install the OS from original Microsoft Win XP CD and could check if it would be possible to get the notebook ruining using clean OS.
In such case we ( you and me ;) ) could find out if this issue could be related to the software or hardware.

WPA and WEP

Hello,
can anybody tell me if its possible to use both WPA and WEP security access on the same SSID.
And can anybody point me out to some references for follow reading.
Thanks
Mark

According to the documentation I have been able to find it is possible. See conversation titled Reality Check ... about 10 lines down from this one. The article includes links to the docs. I cannot get it to work, however. I can get my WPA clients to connect but I lose my original WEP clients. If you find a solution please pass it on.

Can WRT54G use WPA and WEP at the same time?

I used to have a smc 802.11b wireless router and a dlink 802.11b wireless print server.
In order to have WPA and a firewall, I replaced the wireless router with a linksys WRT54G.
Then I realize the dlink print server, even though it has the "g" keyword in the model name, does not do WPA (DP-G321).
Do I have to buy a 802.11g wireless print server? Or is there another solution?
I don't supposed the linksys router can do both WPA and WEP at the same time?
Connecting the print server to the router with a cable is not feasible. They are on different floors.

both of your devices are has a wireless b technology settings, just set a wep encryption on your network rather than wpa because some wireless b devices don;t work with wpa. with regards to your query if wep and wpa can be used at the same time, the answer is no.

How to set WPA and WPA2 security with multiple AEs

Hi Everybody,
I have purchased a second AE and with the help of Alan Summers was able to set them all up for multiple speakers use in iTunes. In order to make them run I had to downgrade security settings to 40-bit WEP which is not really satisfying. My Airport Admin. Utility was still 4.0, so I tried 4.2 which offers the use of WPA and WPA2 with multiple AEs. Upgraded to 4.2 and switched off security settings first. Both AE are recogniced and speakers of second AE also show up in iTunes but I cannot connect to them. Since it didn't work without security settings, I didn't even try with it and went back using 4.0. All other firmware is up-to-date:
AirPort Express 6.3
iTunes 6.0.2
Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection 9.0.3.0
Any advice would deeply be appreciated!
BTW - if it works, it's maybe the greatest sound experience I ever had. Music all over the place!!
Best regards
Roman

Found it!!
1) upgrade Airport Admin. Utility to 4.2
2) set second AE as "remote base station" and not in "client mode" (that's the clue!!)
3) follow instructions and type in MAC address of main base station
4) choose a channel (doesn't matter which one, just has to be the same on both AEs)
5) choose your personal WPA and WPA2 password (same on both AEs)
6) restart both AEs
7) enjoy the music all over the place!
Best regards
Roman

Using AX with Linsys router and WEP security

I have a Dell Inspiron 700m running XP. I use a Linksys wireless router for internet access. I have configured my AX to connect to the router and, with the WEP security turned off, it worked fine. However, when I turned WEP back on, reset the AX, and tried to configure it as a client to my wireless network, it didn't work. Rather, I could not connect to my wireless network, and can only connect directly to the AX network. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tom

One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Having said that, this will only work if they use an algorithm, some don't and in these cases you must use the HEX key regardless of the length of the plain text password.

My sister is buying an ipad2 for fun and business. security software?

I am an iMac owner with no security software installed.My sister has never owned an Apple computer product and has ordered (not received) an iPad2 for fun and her own business (ledgers and accounts). She has asked me to recommend a security software package. Does she need it? If so, what kind?

It's not needed. At all. As long as your sister doesn't "jailbreak" her iOS device and avoids tricksy phishing attempts.
Every app is sandboxed, and the OS is among the most secure usable by an average consumer. In my opinion, best thing is to just not worry about it.

Satellite M30-107: I/O error and unable to copy data

I am trying to back up my data into blank dvds and i have "Draq n drop" software to do that as well as other sorts. Insert blank dvd-R and dvd+R and nothing happens. It doesn't seem to recognise them.
When i try to open it from the dvd icon this message appears sometimes " The request cannot be performed because of an I/O device error. I have a super multi drive which should read all sort of cd's and dvd's but something is wrong. I went to my computer and double clicked the icon and under the recording tab i clicked "enable cd recording on this drive" i then dragged folders into the dvd and it seemed to have worked, when i inserted the dvd afterwards it does not let me open it....
Could somebody help me with this please? i am not too good with computers and i've had this one for two years and it is the first time i am trying to back up my files and i cannot do it.
Thanks very much for you time.
JC

Hi
The drag & drop is not bad bud I would recommend using the "Nero burning rom" software to burn the DVD.
This software supports many burning options and allows you to burn the medium with best performance.
Additional you should know that the drive doesn't support all CD or DVD from all manufacturers.
In the user manual you will find a list of compatible and supported CD DVD manufacturers.
But please don't be confused about the unknown names like i.e Mitsubishi.
These are the manufacturers and not vendors like TDK. Don't mix manufacturer and vendor!
best regards

Satellite M30-604 freezes and fan doesn't work after replacement

Satellite SM30-604. Laptop left on carpet overnight and overheated! Fan doesn't spin and laptop only occasionally starts up. Thinking the fan was fault I replaced the fan but even this new fan doesn't spin. The heatsink is totally clean - no dust inside the vanes at all. The laptop is only 2 years old.
Using forced-cooling (by sticking a vacuum nozzle at the cooling fan outlet!) the laptop occasionally starts up like normal right up to the Desktop screen with all usual icons and no error messages. But then it goes no further - the screen, keyboard and mouse freeze.
Most of the time it doesn't start up at all. When it doesn't start, the blue LED comes on but there's no hard-disk activity or LCD screen at all - even the wifi LED doesn't even come on.
Really grateful if anyone know's what's going on. Not sure if it's the main CPU that's faulty?
Thanks in advance.
Charlie

Hello Charlie
Like you know on this way it is not easy to give any precise diagnostic but according to your posting I presume that there is some complex problem and unit should be checked properly. I also think that there must be some problem with electronic.
It is really possible that mainboard must be replaced but, as I already said, it is no possible to say anything precise about your problem. Try to contact Asp and you will see what they will say.

Satellite M30 - Screen freezes and then goes white

Hello,
After searching with M30-241 and finding nothing, I'm trying this way. My Notebook is 2,5 years old has been repaired once because of the white screen and now it's doing it again. When playing a game like snooker 2003 the screen freezes you can hear the sound going on and then the screen starts getting transparent until it is completely white.
I have to press the power bitten and shut down the system but it only happens by gaming. Word, excel, PowerPoint, films no problem.
Thanks for your help

thanks for your help fireman6135

Hi Anton,
This situation is usually caused by the Graphics/CPU chip getting too hot. I suggest you try cleaning out the ventilation grilles of your notebook and also make sure that there is no obstruction to the free flow of air through the cooling heat-sink.

Startup error message on Satellite M30-107

I get the following message when trying to boot up:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
\windows\system32\config\system
You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM. Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
What is causing this error message as I did not do anything which should have caused an error? I cannot repair using the setup disk as windows XP was already installed when purchased. Any ideas please?

Hi Linda,
This message is quite common and can indicate that there is a problem with your hard drive. It is always possible that the quoted file has been over-written or damaged by another application on your notebook but in my experience this is quite rare.
The Windows repair console is available if you have a copy of the original Windows XP installation CD but if you only have the recovery CDs that were supplied with your notebook then this option will not be available to you since the recovery CDs only contain a restorable copy of your operating system which you can use to restore your system. This will, however, erase all of your own personal data from the notebook.
If you have access to a stand-alone utility such as Norton Disk Doctor then I would recommend that you run a scan of your hard drive to ascertain what condition it is in.

Satellite M30-107: Mat****a UJ-820s not reading burned CDs

Anyone know why. Tried different burning programs made no difference. Works on every pc/laptop on the planet except this laptop! It shows up as a blank cd !!
any ideas?
thanks

Hi
Possibly the drive cannot read this CD because it doesnt support it.
Of course, this is very strange that it doesnt work only on your notebook drive but in the user manual you will find the list with the properly worked medias. It is possible that other medias will not work correctly.
I have had also a same issue. The burned CD doesnt work on my notebook but on the second notebook was no problem.
I have purchase a different brands and tested it. Now the drive accepts the TDK medias.
I think on your notebook is it a compatibility issue.

E4200 Wireless Guest and WEP connects, other security settings do not

I have E4200 with fixed ip 192.168.1.2, DHCP off connected through LAN ports to FIOS ActionTec as 192.168.1.1. When connecting through wireless network off the E4200, I can obtain and connect fine under Guest network and WEP security, but for any other security setting, WPA, WPA2, Mixed mode, etc. I get the message "Aquiring network address" forever, and I never get a connection. How do I troubleshoot?

Is your FIOS ActionTec wired or wireless modem/router…. From where you are receiving the wireless signals to connect… Which operating System that you are running on the computer? It happens only to a specific computer or it happens to all the computers connected in the network?

WPA versus WEP for Wireless Routher Setup

What is the difference between WPA and WEP for the wireless router setup?
I have a WRT160N router and after a lot of hassle and downgrading my firmware to build 8, I had to change the wireless setup from WPA to WEP in order to get my wireless laptop to connect to the internet.
Previously, I had been able to connect with the WPA setup, but after the firmware downgrade I was unable to connect and customer support had me change the wireless setup to WEP.

Hello jns, WPA is stronger than WEP encryption. Check out their description.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a 64-bit key with 10 hexadecimal digits or a 128-bit WEP key with 26 hexadecimal digits. This encryption will prevent other users from connecting to a wireless network using your own WEP key. It will also protect your wireless transmissions/communications from being accessed or received by other users.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP. WPA is stronger than WEP encryption. PSK and PSK2, types of WPA, give you a choice of two encryption methods, TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), which incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers, and AES (Advanced Encryption System), which utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit block data encryption.
If your PC is using WinXP SP1 then WPA is not advisable for your wireless security because WinXP SP1 is not supported with WPA, you can use WEP for your wireless security but if your PC is using WinXP SP2 or Vista OS or MAC then I suggest you use WPA personal for your wireless security to make your wireless key stronger.
Hope that helps!

WPA vs WEP

I have two AEBS interconnected by ethernet. One is the router, the other is an access point at the other end of the house. Both had been set to WPA.
We have been having problems with web pages stalling during loading, a reload would often bring them up instantly. The I reset one of them to WEP so my son could do net games with his DS. After a while, we dermined that when we connect to the one set to WEP (they have different SSIDs so that we can tell them apart) didn't have this problem and the one set to WPA did. I reset both to WEP and now the "problem" is gone.
Anybody else notice such a difference?

The base stations have different names as well as different SSID's. They used to work perfectly together until I increased the security level to WPA.
One is on channel 11, the other on channel 1. The cable modem is connected to one of them (the WEP station) and it provides NAT services. The other is on the other end of the internal wired LAN and provides wireless access and has a connected printer.
We see two different names in the airport list so we can pick the one that we want to use. Roaming is not an issue as both stations cover the whole house to some extent. If we switch from one to the other, some network services, such as iChat, disconnect and reconnect. Apple file services still work if the server or client switches during a connection.
File services go 2x faster when the two computers involved use different APs because the AP doesn't have to share the RF bandwidth with two computers. When one is acting up (as they were when new because I had a series of defective hardware) it was much easier to tell which one was acting up when the SSIDs were different. I just left it that way after the hardware stabilized.
This issue isn't an "every time" type of thing. We notice it in aggragrate over time. Usually, when one site is not loading properly, ALL sites don't load properly. When one is working well, all work well. Download rates, once connected to a good site, are identical for both at 624kbytes/sec (limited by the cable modem). Both stations are AEBS, one has a modem, one does not.
When the WPA BS is stalling, the WEP BS is working fine. I've tried switching the WPA and WEP settings. The problem follows the settings.
When a site, or set of sites, "stalls", the network data rate as indicated by the Activity Monitor, drops to zero. Other computers using the WEP BS at the same time continue to work.
I am guessing that something is happening to the rotating keys and the router is loosing the connection between a service request and the computer that requested the service. It takes a kick in the backside, by reloading a page, to establish a good connection. The stalled connections do not seem to fix themselves ever.
