Satellite P100-113 not setup for ethernet networking

The laptop was purchased in the UK but is being used in the USA, model PSPA3E. It is running Windows XP Home Edition sp2. We just had high-speed Internet brought to our house and I am trying to get the laptop connected to the Internet via an ethernet connection. There is an ethernet port on the back of the laptop, but when I plug in the ethernet cable it has a green light (on the right) and an amber light (on the left). When I go into "Device Manager" there are 2 network adapters that are displayed (a 1394 Net Adapter and an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection). I do not want to use the wireless (which does work), I want to use the ethernet. Under "Other Devices" there is a yellow question mark and a yellow exclamation point next to "Ethernet Controller."
1. Is there a ethernet connection on this laptop? I do not see it under "Network Adapters" so perhaps it is on the motherboard?
2. I went to the Toshiba UK support web site and downloaded the most recent 2 LAN drivers. Do I just need to install the most recent one (lan-20081201075406.zip)?
All assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Ted

The LAN card in device manager that I click on to install the driver is the "1394 Net Adapter" ?
Sorry for these basic questions, but I am used to seeing a specific manufacturer under network adapters (like Intel). Is this 1394 Net Adapter the one built into the motherboard?

  • Mac wakes up for Ethernet network administrator access, goes to sleep again

    I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.6 on an iMac G5, and the OS is set up such that it presents a login prompt after the Mac is witched on from standby mode. If one does not start to type in a password, the machine goes back into standby mode after a dozen seconds or so, which is helpful e.g. in case I have hit the keyboard by accident.
    However, there are situations when I don't want this to happen. For instance, I own a SqueezeBox v5 device, which will wake also the Mac when I turn it on via its remote control (I assume via "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access"). However, since I do type on the Mac keyboard in this case, but use the Squeezebox remote control instead, the Mac decides to turn itself off again. I'm also facing this with utilities that try to wake up my Mac at a certain time to perform their functions (e.g. with Audio Hijack Pro).
    So my question is, is there any way to tell Mac OS X not to fall back into standby mode when woken up by another mechanism than normal keyboard typing, via some configuration file or similar. Turning off the keyword prompt entirely is not a tolerable option for me in this case.
    Thanks for any help on this,

    The 'wake for ethernet network administrator access' does not mean 'wake on any old ethernet traffic you like'.
    In other words you can't just try to hit any service you choose - if the machine is asleep then it doesn't even have an IP address that's going to listen to your hit.
    How it works is via a special broadcast protocol sent from another machine on the LAN. The packet is sent to the machine's hardware MAC address (and therefore doesn't need any services to be running on the machine). When the hardware detects the packet it wakes up the machine.
    There are a few utilities that will send the relevant packets to wake a machine. Apple Remote Desktop has it, but so do free utilities like WakeOnLAN.

  • My wifi will not detect networks and will not search for other networks when I search for them. Do I need a new iPhone or can I fix it myself?

    My wifi is on and when it tries to find a wifi connection, the gray little circle just keeps spinning and will not detect our home wifi. I have tried to search for it and connect to it manually, but it will not search for the network name. I'm hoping I don't need a new phone so please help.

  • IPad could not scan for wireless networks

    My iPad 2 was bought in April 2011. And just a few hours ago it suddenly disconnected from my home WIFI.
    I tried to reconnect it, but it either kept scanning the network or kept prompting the warning message "iPad could not scan for wireless networks".
    My Macbook Pro, iPhone and another iPad 3 were all working fine with my two different WIFI points at home yet only my iPad 2 couldn't scan both WIFI at all.
    I have tried to:
    1. Reboot IOS (turn it off and on)
    2. Take out sim card
    3. Reset Network Settings
    4  Reset All Settings
    5. Restore iPad from iTune
    I've called Apple, obviously they had no clues about this problem and they just adviced me to send in my iPad 2 for 1-to-1 change.
    This seems to be a common unsolved issue for apple users. Has anyone solved this before?
    Now I'm worrying will my iPad 3 get the same issue in future. it makes me quite frustrated

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398

    iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • TS1559 could not scan for wireless networks.

    Wifi not working on my Iphone.  All I get is "Could not scan for wireless networks."  Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    If no change after powering the iPhone off and on and/or after a reset which is similar to a computer restart, try resetting network settings on the iPhone at Settings > General > Reset.
    If no change after that, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup but update the iPhone's backup immediately before doing so for later use.
    If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • TS1398 'could not scan for wireless networks' problem

    I keep getting 'could not scan for wireless networks' whenever I try to connect. I have turned wi-fi off/on, restarted my network, iPod touch, and the home modem. What are some other options for fixing this problem?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod

  • Error: "can not scan for wireless networks" 1st gen iphone running 3.1.2

    My iphone will no longer scan for wireless networks. I am running an airport network via my imac and the rest of the computers, as well as two iphone 3GS phones can see it, but my 1st Gen iphone now gives me the error "can not scan for wireless networks". I have done the Home + Power button thing, reset the network settings and no help yet.
    Any suggestions?

    OK. There are reports of bad wifi chips, but lets try some more things first.
    I assume your router is set to b/g compatible & not "n" only, correct? The iphone only works on g. Next, try this: Shut down the WiFi, and turn off "Ask to Join Networks". Then turn the iPhone completely off, by holding the top button down until the red slider came up, slid it off, and wait a few moments.
    Turn the phone back on, then turn on the WiFi, and then "Ask to Join Networks".
    See if that helps.

  • "could not scan for wireless networks" iphone6 or iOS 8?

    new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.  Wifi works fine for a few hours and then drops.  The wifi connect screen sits there spinning and if I attempt a manual connecation I get the message:
    "could not scan for wireless networks"
    Only solution so far has been rebooting. 
    No issues with older devices and iOS 8.  Just the iPhone 6.
    As this issue seems to come out every time Apple release new hardware I am hoping it's just a bug that will be squashed and as such wanted to bring it up on the forums.  Will also report to support. 

    Hi Uncle Ook,
    From what I've read, other iPhone 6 users have experience this issue too. I've read that by doing these steps it may help resolve your issue:
    Open Settings
    General
    Reset
    Reset Network Settings
    Enter your Passcode if prompted
    Tap Reset Network Settings
    What this will do is reset your network settings. By doing this we'll reset any issues to default settings that'll help fix your issue by setting the network settings to default settings.
    You'll see a series of different screens. This is normal. Just wait until it's completely done. You'll know when it's done when it takes you to the lock screen. You'll need to unlock your iPhone after that and try reconnecting to your wireless network that you were attempting to join. I'm not sure however that these steps will help permanently or temporarily, but I'm sure Apple will fix this issue within the next update that comes out. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Iphone 4S Message - "Could not scan for Wireless Networks"

    For the last couple of days I have been getting a message, "Could not scan for wireless networks" when I try to connect to WiFi. WiFi connection is sporadic and intermitent at best when I do mange to connect. My phone is set to automatically recognize and connect to familiar networks. All other devices in the area currently have no issue recognizing and connecting to my home WiFi network. I have reset, turned on and off phone. Thanks for anyones suggestions. I have a feeling a trip dowtown to visit Apple is in the cards?

  • Iphone 4s "Could not scan for wireless networks"

    I haven't had any issues with wifi except for today, when I noticed that my phone would not recognize my home wifi. I checked, and the wifi here is working fine. My roommate's iphone is connecting fine. My laptop is connecting fine. When I try to connect manually to my network, I get the message "could not scan for wireless networks". I have tried restarting my phone. I've tried just turning wifi/airplane mode on and off and there is no improvement. I've also reset network settings and still nothing.
    Forgive my ignorance, but I am not a tech person so if anyone can help you kind of need to phrase things like you're talking to a small child. Please though, if anyone has any suggestions I would SO appreciate it!

    Could this be the problem?
    iPhone 4 Modem Firmware : 3.0.04
    iPhone 4S Modem Firmware : 2.0.10
    Wifi is working on my iPhone 4, NOT on 4S -
    Why is my new 4S I got yesterday using a 2.0.10 firmware, isn't that old?! Isn't the newest 4.0+?
    I am so tired of trying to figure this out.
    The Wi-Fi addresses in the About settings are different on both phones too.

  • Satellite P100 will not stay in hibernate mode

    Hi everyone~
    Satellite P100
    Vista
    Before going to bed I always put my computer in hibernate mode. It won't stay in hibernate mode. I'm not talking about sleep mode here.
    I click the start button then choose hibernate. It goes into hibernate and I go to bed so I don't know when it goes out of hibernate mode.
    I used to have to press the power button to get it up and running after it went into hibernate. Along the front of the computer are 5 blue lights. I will call them a,b,c,d, and e.
    d&e are generally off when I'm using the computer.
    a, b, and c are lit up when I'm on the computer. When it goes into hibernate mode b goes out.
    When I get up in the morning a,b and c are all back on and all I have to do is move my mouse around then log on instead of first pressing the power button.
    I have some scheduled tasks but I've always had those.
    Please help. Is there a setting I can do to take care of this issue? TIA

    You can create an on task!!!
    - go to Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Administrative Tools > Task Scheduler- In the far right pane, click Create Basic Task.
    - In the Create Basic Task Wizard, type the name of your task then click Next.
    - schedule based on the calendar, click Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or One time and click Next.
    - Leave Start a program selected and click Next.
    - For Program/script, use this path C:\Windows\System32\Wuapp.exe (but you path could be different).
    - Click Next and then click Finish.
