Satellite P100-434: Wireless connection problem with Vista

Just purchased this laptop with Vista and so far have been unable to get the wireless to connect, I have 3 other computers and they will all connect, I have reset the router and set new accounts on all the other computers with no problem, but unable to do this on the P100.
Tried the new RADAR feature and this will not pick any networks up, but when trying to establish new connection it shows that a wireless network is available but is unnamed, although my network is named, I have taken the passkey off the network so that it is open but still will not connect into it, LAN via ethernet works fine.
Wireless switch is on, but when I slide it to off wireless switch status says ON

Hi
I cannot give you an exactly answer why you cannot connect to you WLan with the Vista because there are so many options which must be checked.
But I think you will find the solution yourself with a little help from Microsoft website.
Please check this site:

There you will find many useful tips, screenshots and the advice how to connect to WLan with Vista.
Please post again if you have found the key

  • Wireless connection problems with iTunes

    After installing iTunes for my PC(using Windows Vista if that matters). Directly after installing iTunes my wireless connection works. Once I start importing my music into iTunes I lose my wireless connection. I can still see the wireless networks but I can no longer connect to any of them.
    Does anyone know whats causing this problem. Once I deleted iTunes from my computer my networks started working properly again after rebooting. I tried to download it again and the same thing happened yet again. After deleting agin I am still unable to connect to my wireless conection.

    I just saw your post and I resolved this on mine for my wired connection. I'm willing to bet that the issue is the same for wireless. Here's what I found.
    Issue:
    During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
    Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
    Resolution:
    After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
    The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
    1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
    2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
    3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
    4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
    5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
    6. Click OK.
    7. Reboot.
    Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot.

  • Connection problems with Vista

    I have problem using my Nokia 5320 as modem with Vista (with TIM as mobile provider).
    The connection, very often, is lost. Even if the symbol "3.5G" is still on the phone, Vista looses
    the internet connection.
    Someone says that is a Vista DHCP problem for mobile connection.
    Could you, please, help suggesting some solutions?
    Thanks and regards

    Hi All,
    I have checked again and the IP remains set when the internet is lost. (USB connection, no globe icon on the network monitor status) However the system handles the connection in strange way with DHCP for sure. I do not really familiar with it, so it could be normal as well.
    I realized the communication loss is related to the baud rate change (increase) of the USB modem under the internet connection period (depends on the throughput of the actual 3G, 3.5G connections). I tried to set various details, parameters under modem settings but without any real success. It looks like the OS cannot really handle the HSDPA modem in the phone. Does not really know the exact working parameters of it.
    Maybe I am wrong, I only guessing and trying to solve the issue, because it should work smoothly as works under Linux.
    Any idea from an expert?

  • 10.4.7 wireless connect problem with wep security

    I can no longer connect either my powerbook or powermac to either of my wireless access points if wep security is used. One router runs wpa, the other has to run wep because that's all the print server can do. To pin this down, I found that both computers can connect to an access point configured wpa. And both can connect if security disabled. But neither can connect with access point setup with wep. System preferences says connected to the internet, but it's not. Before 10.4.7 I could connect with no problems. Have two PCs running XP that continue to access wireless router using wep security. Anybody having this problem? And any suggestions??
    Thanks

    Assuming you have 3rd party wireless routers, have you checked the router manufacturer's website to see if a firmware update is available for the router models targeted at OS X users?
    I'm using WPA2 personal with my AEBS at Home and my girlfriend uses WEP with her AEBS at her house and I've had no problems connecting to her wireless network and accessing the internet with 10.4.7.
    She also uses WEP with a 3rd party wireless router at her condo on the coast and I've had no problems connecting there either.

    Hi @AjayKareer, 
    I understand that you are unable to setup the printer on the wireless network. I can help you with this.
    Make sure the network name doesn't have any spaces or special characters. The printer won't recognize it.
    Restore the printer defaults.
    On the printer control panel, press the Setup button.
    Press the Right Arrow, to select the Network Setup, and then press OK.
    Press the Right Arrow, to select the Restore Defaults, and then press OK.
    I have provided a document with some steps for setting the printer up on the network.
    Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network.
    Configure the wireless by a Ethernet connection if the issue persists.
    Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
    Printing a Configuration Report.
    Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
    Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
    Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in the password and type of Encryption if you have this setup or Open for no password. Apply settings.
    Then disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    Then wait a minute to see if you get a wireless light on the printer, print the configuration page and check the IP address again. Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page. That way you will know that the printer is now networked.
    Then run the installation.

  • Pixma MX430 Wireless Connectivity Problems with Mac OSX 10.9.4

    My Pixma MX430 suddenly refuses to connect wirelessly to my Mac running OSX v 10.9.4. I was able to fiddle with settings and nudge it to work but it now steadfastly refuses to play ball. I have no CD drive incidentally. I would be grateful for any suggestions as I need to print and scan documents urgently.
    Many thanks for your help. 
    Jenny

    USB 3.0 is an international standard. Yes, it's compatible with OS X 10.9.x
    Reviews on Amazon from other iMac users have been positive.
    Just like with USB 2 hubs, some devices aren't happy sharing.
    I can't tell for sure it's the hub's fault. You need to try other combinations of connection.

  • Wireless Connectivity Problem with B210A

    I've got a B210A and I'm having some issues trying to get either my PC or laptop to connect wirelessly to the printer.
    Both have been set up wirelessly before and now neither want to connect.
    My PC is running Windows 7 64-bit and the laptop is Window 7 32-bit.
    The wireless network test report shows no problems but when I try to connect using the HP installation program, the printer cannot be found. Even when it asks to enter the IP address manually on the installation, the printer still can't be found.
    Has anyone got any ideas as to what I can do to solve this?
    This question was solved.

    Disable AVG altogether and try again.  Was AVG in place and active when you installed the HP software (it should have been so the installer could configure it).

    ? Ok,
    I have purchased and installed this software. ?Now, if I try to enable it in the encoder tab, I get the following,
    "The audio device is busy now. ?Please stop playback and try again.)
    I have tried a clean start of Windows, reinstalled the software, ensured that my drivers are updated, and am definitely running SP.

  • Wireless connectivity problems using IOS 6.0.2?

    After installing IOS 6.0.2 on my iPhone 5 I can no longer connect to known wireless sites.  I've been through troubleshooting with both Apple and my ISP and no luck.  I'm thinking there's wireless connectivity problems with this latest update (my iPad 3 is still running 6.0.1 and is fine on my wireless network). Are others having this issue as well?

    I am not guaranteeing this fix , but it worked for me , so far. I have an iphone 5 and it had ios 6.0.1 . Worked fine. Upgraded to 6.0.2 and it wouldn't connect with home router most of the time. My son in law an IT guy for the Government came up with a solution. The problem seemed most likely with routers that are bought and not configured and retain the original factory settings. Therefore my phone considers my home network a generic one and I have to manually connect to it. To distinguish the network we did the following.
    1) went to settings on my iphone
    2) choose "my home network" by pushing the arrow on the right
    3) This brought up the network info page. (it says "forget this network " at the top)
    4)DHCP will probably be highlighted.
    5) touch "static"
    6) This will bring up the manual settings
    7) We entered the following.
    For Ip Address 192.168.1.15
    Subnet Mask  255.255.255.0
    Router 192.168.1.1
    DNS 4.2.2.1,4.2.2.2,8.8.8.8
    Leave the HTTP Proxy to off
    This will assign a static Ip address not a dynamic one and should work.
    If it doesn't , go back to step 3 and select DHCP and return to the dynamic state .

    Hi
    I am experiencing wireless connection problem on 4s after ios 8.1 upgrade. The wireless icon appears showing that it's connected but webpages do not load. I have checked my internet connection with other devices and seems to be alright. what to do?
    I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
    Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
    Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

    Hi..
    Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.

  • Satellite P100-434 startup issue BSOD

    Hello everybody!
    I have Toshiba Satellite P100-434 laptop and lately I have encountered many problems during the startup.
    1. The laptop starts normally up to the writing the password. Then, in the middle of typing BSOD.
    2. The laptop gets BSOD or turns off about 2 seconds after the Microsoft bar has appeared.
    3. The laptop doesn't turn on - after launch there is only one flash of three blue diodes on the right and the screen stays blank. No Toshiba welcome screen.
    After few attempts I succeed with getting the Toshiba welcome screen (it's after the second flash), but there are another issues later, the laptop turns off or tries to Launch Startup Repair. It says only about unspecified error and restores back to the previous state.
    4. I tried to enter the Safe Mode, but few times I encountered the same: the laptop turns off after loading some drivers.
    BSOD are too short for me to spot what is going on - I spotted only BAD POOL something and IRQL NOT EQUAL something as if it was something with drivers, presumably the NVIDIA display driver. I uninstalled it and downloaded new one and installed it (version 7.15.11.5666). Ths is NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600. Once there was some information about dxgkrnl.sys?
    I did Windows Memory Test at startup - no errors.
    I scanned for any viruses: my AVG removed some Cryptor virus, but the problem still is there.
    The OS is Windows Vista Home Premium SP 2.
    I don't know what is the problem. Is it the display driver or any other driver? Or maybe some power related problems? Any advice welcome!

    Additional information:
    Yesterday I encountered again the same problem: BSOD during typing the password: IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL; STOP: 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x8888E1E3), disk.sys address 8888E1E3 base of 88880000, DateStamp 49e01ef2.
    I turned the laptop off manually and after 30 some attempts I succeeded with switching it on again (up to then there was no Toshiba welcome screen and the display remained blank) to meet up with another BSOD shortly after launch of Windows:
    STOP 0x0000000A (0x0000000B, 0x000000FF, 0x00000000, 0x8B48F3AD)
    The next launch the system made the CHKDSK. There were plenty of index entries being deleted, but there were not bad sectors or anything. When I finally got through all this, I did another diagnostic of the HDD, but it showed no problems.
    Anyway: I would like to know whether the problem is hardware or rather software related, because I wouldn't take my laptop to repair if there is something I could do by downloading/reinstalling.

  • Playing Call of Duty 4 on Satellite P100-434

    Hi all,
    I have recently purchased my Toshiba Satellite P100-434 (Intel 1.66 Dual / 2GB RAM / Go7600) and have just tried gaming on the system.
    I have installed COD4 and tried to play but it seems as the laptop has big issues running it.
    I have updated my display drivers to the nvidia vista 32-bit ones downloaded from this site seems to have made very little if no diffrence.
    I am running the game with every setting to minimal with res. of 640x480 and it still struggles.
    Everything on the laptop should be sufficient for running this game except for the cpu which is recommended a 1.8 dual and this is a 1.66 dual. could just this be why the game cannot run too well?
    I wouldnt have thought so.
    I have had friends who have run this game on worse spec pc's.
    Any suggestions what could be my problem or what else I could do to improve the performance?
    Many thanks...

    Hi
    If got a Satellite notebook with a high performance AMD CPU and the newest ATI Radeon graphic card.
    Im running Windows XP due to better game performance. The Vista needs more hardware resources and therefore I prefer the XP.
    Anyway, last week Ive installed the COD4 and believes me this game needs more hardware resources as you believe.
    Nevertheless you should be able to run the COD4 using the 1024x768 resolution. But its another question if COD4 would run smoothly.
    However, I found an Toshiba FAQ doc regarding some video 'stutter' during game play using Windows Vista:
    Check this:
    [New video driver and BIOS eliminates video 'stutter' during game play (Windows Vista)|http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=1924 764xml&sliceId=&dialogID=46208288&stateId=0%200%20 46206416]
    Regarding to this doc the display driver & BIOS update should help to improve the performance.
    Bye

  • Airport Extreme Utility problem with Vista (works with XP, MacOS)

    Hi,
    I just setup a new Airport Extreme network at my house, and most things are working fine. I have wirelessly connected at various points an Airport Express (using WDS), a MacBook Pro (OSX) and an IBM Thinkpad. I have several wired machines as well.
    My problem: The wired machine I use to configure and setup everything is a Vista Ultimate machine. Unfortunately, the Airport Utility won't connect to the Airport Extreme (or Airport Express for that matter) from Vista. The utility works fine from XP or OSX, but not from Vista. Note that I'm using this in a wired capacity. The Vista machine is directly connected to the Airport Extreme, while several other machine are connected through a GBit switch.
    Any help would be much appreciated? Is this a Vista security problem or an Airport Utility problem with Vista?

    It's most likely a security issue with Windows Vista. Vista has the ability to set "compatibility modes" for applications.
    Try:
    1. right mouse clicking the Airport Utility's .exe file.
    2. Click the Compatibility tab. Change the Compatibility mode to Windows XP (Service Pack 2).
    3. Now go down to "Privilage Level" and check the "Run this program as an administrator"
    Apple never tells you this but you must connect to the Airport Extreme wirelessly. Now run the Airport Utility. You should see it.

  • A Fix for Wireless Connection Problems

    I’ve been struggling with connection problems for a week. Thankfully, I found a fix. Your mileage may vary, but this may be your answer:
    Fix for Wireless Connection Problems on MacBook Pro

    Yeah BR, please tell me what your cure is. I have the same setup as you, Vista with the same wireless card you have. Cannot stay connected to the internet. Have spent hours on the phone with tech support and they can't fix it. I hate this f....ing computer, will never buy another one. Please let me know what you did. Once I get it running right I'm selling it and will buy a cheap Dell, never have any problems with them. I have keyboard problems, capital letter problems, connection problems, and download can take 1 to 2 days. Pure BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My apologies about not explaining further about disabling SPDIF passthrough. See the steps below to enable DDL encoding.
    ***Before proceeding please make sure that you've purchased, installed and activated the DDL pack***
    . Open Creative Audio Console, go to the Decoder tab to disable driver level encoding and enable SPDIF passthrough (this is done by selecting SPDIF passthrough or any similar option that enable the use of an external decoder) instead of using the built-in decoders.
    2. Open up your playback devices window (right click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select playback devices) and set analog speakers (not SPDIF) as your default device. This is VERY IMPORTANT step, or else you get the "the device is busy" error when enbaling DDL encoding.
    3. In the Audio Console, select the Encoder tab and enable DLL encoding.
    Note:
    When DDL encoding is enabled, it makes exclusi've use of your SPDIF connection so, no passthrough is possible. The default output format when using DDL encoding is 48KHz/6 bits. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) when DLL encoding is enabled, then please change their output device to analog speakers instead of SPDIF.
    To use back SPDIF passthrough (when playing back media with a pre-encoded audio source), open up Audio Console and disable DDL encoding and in the Playback Devices window change the default device to SPDIF. If you make use of any AC3 audio filters (such as ac3filter/others included in codec packs/media player softwares) then please change their output device back to SPDIF. You may also wish to change back your output format to 92KHz/24 bits (right click on SPDIF and select properties -> Advanced tab).
