Satellite P10-792: wireless LAN Intel 2100

Hi!
I tried to install INTEL BG 2100 wireless mini-PCI card. Drivers work OK, but they say "Radio off". Nothing changes when I press [FN]+[F7]. Card is OK (tested in some Arima-made notebook).
How can I use the card?

I have a similar problen with my A30 Satallite. Driver installs OK and device works fine but keeps telling me to enable hardware switch. When you say enable switch do you mean somewhere in the system config because I have found that switching to on position does nothing, as iff switch is not connected.

Satellite P10-873 Wireless LAN Connection

Hi all,
I have a Satellite P10-873 laptop. I've just purchased a Netgear DG834GT wireless modem/router and cannot get fully connected to the internet via Tiscali (ISP).
The problem manifests itself in that I can connect to the router and can even ping various sites on the net. However trying to connect to a site using MSIE I just get "cannot connect" rejection page.
In addition using the CMD prompt, attempting a Telnet session to a web site on port 80 is rejected e.g "www.bt.com 80".
I've set all security to a minimum with no effect.
I have an other notebook which connects and functions perfectly with the Netgear/Ticali setup. I've also identically configured MSIE on both machines without success.
Does anybody have any ideas what could be causing this???
Thanks Mike

I have just set up the same router/modem (yesterday). I had a similar problem until I disabled Norton's Personal Firewall. (Windows Firewall already disabled) It then connected and I set up Nortons again afterwards (despite the manual saying do not use 3rd party firewalls. I also need help with my P10-304. I can't get the Intel 2200BG wireless minicard to work. Any ideas?

Satellite P10-792/833: which is the chipset? IMPORTANT!

Hello everybody,
In order to install properly Win 2000 on a Toshiba Satellite P10-792, I must know which is the chipset of the motherboard.
It's impossible to find informations about this in the Web, and Toshiba is VERY inefficent: Is it possible that Toshiba sells notebook without specifying the technical specifications?????
Please answer me which chipset is installed in this notebook; IT ISN'T AN INTEL CHIPSET!

Thanks Fredo, that's right: It's an ATI Radeon 9100 IGP (RS300).
Obviously Toshiba doesn't say anything about this... I've called Toshiba phone assistance and they reply me "it's certainly an Intel 865PE chipset"; in the "download drivers/P10 series" there are only Intel chipset drivers... Toshiba is the ONLY producer that hasn't released the correct driver for its computer model...
I'll try to use Packard Bell (!!!) RS300 driver release in order to use properly my notebook. The other way is to use Ati reference drivers, but there are incomplete and not specific.
This is the reason because I'm not "cool" at all.

Satellite P10-792 RAM Compatibility (Nanya)

Hello,
Is Nanya RAM (PC2700, CL2,5) compatible with the Toshiba Satellite P10-792?
Greetings

Hi,
yes, this Nanya RAM would fit 100% in this P10, because the machine supports PC2100/PC2700 RAM modules up to 1GB per slot.
So feel free to insert this modules without worry. ;)

X31 Wireless problems (Intel 2100) and Type Auto detected as 'TP-1-Q___' instead of '2672-NG9'

Hey
I'm a thinkpad fan, and very happy about the good ol' x-series. I have a X31 type '2672-NG9', and it has been to a warranty repair once when the charger failed. At his point I got a new mainboard.
The problem is that the wireless network hasn't been working quite right since I got the mainboard replaced. Last time I made a reinstall of windows (via the Factory defaults service in the IBM bios), I somehow got the wireless to work with Windows' "Wireless Zero Configuration" service. Never got it to work with Access connections, and FN+F5 service couldn't always see the wireless device.
I have just made a reinstall again, and this time I'm not able to install the wireless card at all. When I try to run the driver (I found via the Thinkpad drivers matrix), the card appears for a few seconds, and disappears again.
The driver is called "Intel PRO/wireless LAN 2100 3b Mini PCI adapter" and is found here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-59438
Via the Drivers matrix for the X3x's:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-43800
As said on the page, I made sure that I had the newest Access connections installed (5.30).
When I press FN-F5 i only see the Bluetooth connection, and not the wireless device.
Any ideas solve this problem?
The other problem (and I am assuming that the problems might be connected) is that my x31 laptop is autodetected as the unknown type: 'TP-1-Q___'. This is done by the program at the support homepage, and by the system update program (which makes it totally unusable )
Are there any way of changing this ID for the right type (2672-NG9)?
Kind regards

Ok... last mail from me today...
The status is that my wireless Intel 2100 network card, won't run together with Access Connections. If Access Connections isn't installed, the wirelless card functions great together with the windows Zero Configuration Service, but when i install and launch AC, my wireless card disappears from windows (XP-pro by the way).
To get it work agian, i uninstall AC and reinstall the Intel driver (this often result in a new number for the wireless conection)
I have installed the newest version of Access Connnections, Power Management and Hotkey services.
I have surfed the net and found other people reporting the same problem with this card, and a thinkpad, but no solutions that worked for me yet:

Wireless Lan - Intel Centrino

Hi,
I have had the chance to browse through solaris-x86.org, and it seems like Sun is developing the Intel Centrino Lan (Intel Pro Wireless 2100) drivers for Solaris.
Being a straight foward Solaris user for almost 2 years, and that I'm getting a little out of touch with Linux - Only because I actually know how to use Solaris pretty well and can play with is easily - would anybody have any chance of knowing when the Solaris 9 or 10's driver of the Intel's Wireless Lan miniPCI would be available?
It would be awesome to have a driver for this on Solaris - which then would mean that i can always get rid of my Windows XP from my laptop - which i have for all my desktops...:p
Anyway, thanks for your help.
- Frank

Hi Frank,
You can find the driver at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/downloads/

Satellite Pro M30: Wireless LAN/ZeroCfgSvc MFC Application

Whenever i turn on the wireless lan switch an error msg appears " ZeroCfgSvc MFC Application has encountered a problem and needs to close.
What shall I do?

Hi
I have read on some websites that a new wireless driver update could solve this issue.
Try to download the new wireless update from the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
or from the Intel website:

Satellite P10-804 wireless card upgrade

Hi,
Ive been trying to find a list of compatible wireless cards to upgrade my Satellite P10-804 but can't find any.
The the current wireless card is a Toshiba PA3171U-1MPC but it doesnt do the 802.11G standard and no WPA security.
Anyone know of what are good replacement cards that will work on my laptop?
Ive come across this one but Im not sure if it is compatible or not as I can't find any compatibility info for it: PA3416U-1MPC
Thanks,
Mark

Hi
I think the PA3416U-1MPC should be compatible.
I mean the notebook supports the miniPCI Wlan card and the PA3416U-1MPC is a miniPCI Wlan card.
The WLan antenna behind the notebooks screen should be connected to the connectors placed on miniPCI WLan card.
The two connectors are marked with MAIN and AUX. Normally a white cable goes to the MAIN and a black to the AUX

Satellite P10-792 lock ups / crashes and battery

I have been using my P10-792 even since I bought it 3 year ago. Theres been a battery waning box that pops up on my screen (sometimes) saying that I should replace the wrong inserted battery and restart my computer. Theres also a mouse touch pad issue. It touchpad doesnt respond well to my commands while trying to move the pointer.
The battery-warning message usually comes along with the touch pad malfunction. I have to press esc several times to restore the touchpad back to normality and close the process application Btrychkr.exe under the CTRL+ALT+DEL menu to make the waning box go away.
But the major and most recently problem are the lockups, especially when running programs that require high video processing such as 3D games and DVDs. The screen freezes for several seconds before it comes back to life. This is sometimes followed by a sudden shut down.
Finally, when I try to turn it on, it doesnt even get to load windows before it shuts down again, and so on. So I have to wait several minutes before pushing the on button again. Now we have reached a critical situation where the computer wont last more than 10 minutes before it automatically shuts down without any previous notice. There are no error messages so I cannot see what the cause of the problem is. (Battery? Overheating?)
Its also important to notice that a friend of mine with a P10 series also had these same problems and eventually had to buy a new one because the laptop got just out of hand. Im afraid mine gets to the same situation.
How can I fix it?
I would really appreciate some help.
Thanks

Hi
You use you notebook since 3 years. Did you replace the battery during this 3years?
No? I think it would be a nice idea to change the battery.
Usually after about 500 times of charging and discharging procedures the battery performance going down and the life time decreases
Additional during these 3 years the notebook should be cleaned. The fans suck the dirt and dust and sometime the cooling modules cannot rotate with full performance and cannot cool the CPU and other devices.
Of course, the overheating could be a reason for your shut down problems
It sounds like you havent much experience so I think someone with more experience (technician) should clean the notebooks cooling modules

Satellite P10-792 harddisk size 27GB instead of 60GB?

Just unpacked and spent the last week installing my P10-792 and now (...) I notice that the C-drive is only 27 GB whereas the drive itself is about 60 GB. There is an unnamed volume of about the same size (27 GB).
In the FAQ I found a remedy regarding resizing partitions using the restore-CD, but this probably means installing the entire machine all over again.
Please help me out. I would like to use the entire drive and not just half of it.
Thanks, Stephan

I have a 40 GB HDD and my computer shows 2 partitions 'C' and 'D' of 18,6 GB each.
I think that the difference is because manufacturers show the value of their HDD in Gbytes.
Computers recognizes bytes which is 1MB=1024 bytes and 1GB = 1024MB.
If you do the maths you will see that the real value is closer to the written.
You also hava to exclude the space in your HDD which is used for mechanical safety reason (This space depends on manufacturer and the tecnology is used - Not very big).
The other i have to tell you is that you use the NTFS or FAT32 depending on the applications you want to use and not depending on the operating system. NTFS for the hard ones (Databases, Server apps etc) and Fat32 for the soft (games, Ms office etc). You CAN share files between these two formats without any risk.
My suggestion is to leave your computer as it is because there is a lot of risk loosing your data when 'playing' with partitiong tools.
If you decide it use Partition magic. It is the best in market.

Satellite P10: How to enable Intel 2200BG WiFi card

Hi
I have a Satellite psp10e which I have recently installed an Intel 2200BG WiFi card. After having problems getting it to switch on I have put tape on pin 13 on the card to switch the radio on.
I have installed all the latest drivers/ BIOS updates and spending hours searching the internet I am still yet to find a cure to get the hardware switch/fn+f8 and the WiFi led to work.
Is there something that anybody has figured out to make the hardware switch/led work? There must be a better cure than a piece of tape!!! It is it the BIOS that has anything to do with the hardware switch?

You cannot get it work with the switch because the Toshiba wireless cards have another pin to power off. And noone knows that pin. You could get one original toshiba from somewere and put it in and check out which pin is connected to the power switch.
Then you could change the pins on the new 2200b/g card. As the pins are very small and close together - it is nearly impossible to isolate them... But make your try ;)

What chipset does a Satellite P10-792 have?

I tried reinstalling windows however I currently do not have acces to the toshiba utilities cd. What is the chipset used by this laptop (so I can download the drivers from intel.com) or are the drivers also on this website? (Only see a chipset utility driver that cant be installed before the chipset itself).

The utility driver refuses to install (no supporting chipset driver or somethinglike that)
I see that rc300 is from ati isnt that just the 3dcard? I need a driver like intel or nvidia for the entire chipset.
Message was edited by: sdk
edit2: I fixed the problem, didn't install the intel chipset utility since it wasnt on the cdrom (but on the internet it was at the p10) I used the display driver (and before that a msi ati system driver for RS300 chipset) and now the VGA and SMbus etc are recognized and installed.

Wireless LAN Controller 2100

Hi,
I am having trouble on setting up a WLC2100 ver 7. we need to implement a private and public network. private network authenticate to IAS - RADIUS (windows server 2003 server) while the public network is open but when a client connect to AP it will redirect to a 3rd party web athentication - HotSpot Server. the challenge is we want to broadcast a single SSID.
senario:
1. when a user/guest connect to the AP a radius server will authenticate thru IAS - Radius.
2. when a user is authenticate via radius a dhcp server will give an ip address of the private network.
3. if the user is not authenticate a dhcp server will give the public ip address and netowrk traffic must go to a different VLAN.
my question is, is it possible to broadcast a single SSID for the two network? is there a document which is related to our scenario?
you advise is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Budie

Yes, dynamic vlan assignment ...

Satellite P10-792 shuts itself down

Hello,
my notebook (bought in October 2004) shuts itself down after 5 or 10 minutes because it's running too hot.
If I place my notebook on blocks (5 cm) and place a giant wind blower next to / under it, my notebook works perfect.
So I assume there is a problem with the cooling installation.
Also after 3 weeks one USB-connection was broken.
I brought back my notebook where I bought it and they send it forward to an official Toshiba repair service.
Now, I have to pay almost 900 euros to fix it.
I think this is a case of guarantee !!
I payed 1800 euros for it and not even a year later I have to pay so much again to make it work again ??
Is this the sort of guarantee Toshiba gives ?
I thought Toshiba was a brand with a good customer service... ?!
greetings

Hi Dorien,
The symptoms that you describe definitely indicate that your notebook is overheating. You will find many posts on these forums covering this topic. Briefly you need to remove the dust that is trapped between the cooling fans and the heat-sink. I would recommend a Vacuum cleaner hose placed over the air intake grilles. Alternatively you can remove the heat-sink and clear the debris manually (This will invalidate your warranty however).
As to your comments about your USB port, I also experienced this when both the ports on my A30 broke. I was advised that this is treated as accidental damage and is therefore not covered by the warranty. I opted to purchase a PCMCIA to USB adapter which was far cheaper than the cost of the repair.
