Satellite Pro A200 failing to connect with iphone hotspot via wifi

Apologies if I get some of the technical jargon wrong but I pretty useless when it comes to IT issues.
I have a Satellite Pro A200 and had problems connecting to various wifi connections.
The computer would see the wifi connection and connect to it but i wasn't able to connect to the internet.
The office issue has now been sorted by our IT support guy (security settings on the new router we too complex for my PC or something like that) but he wasn't able to solve the problem of not being able to connect to my iphone to use the 'hotspot' feature via wifi.
Does anyone know a way of solving this or is it a simple fact of the laptop being too old and really needs updating?
Thanks for any assistance anyone is able to give.

This is not a question of notebook age
As far as I know not all mobile phone providers support this
You should firstly ask your mobile provider if you can use the tethering function.
If this would be supported my mobile provider, then you have to connect the iphone to the notebook firstly
For that youve got two options: you could use the BT connection (in such case check if notebook supports BT too) or via USB cable provided with the iPhone.
(PS: As far as I know tethering is support by iOS3.0 and higher)
After the iphone has been connected to the notebook you need to enable the tethering on iphone.
Under Settings -> Network you should see the option internet tethering this need to be enabled.
Now you should be able to see that in Network & sharing Center of the control panel.

    How do I get my iphone to connect with my PC via WiFi?

    I Believe you are trying to use personal hotspot so you can use your 3G/LTE on your pc.
    If that's the question, you'll need to turn on "Personal Hotspot" in settings (it's right below bluetooth), then go to your Mac/PC and connect to your iphone as you would with a normal wi-fi connection. You can change the random default password in the same menu where you have turned on "Personal Hotspot"

  • Re: Satellite Pro A200 - Won't boot with 4GB RAM

    Hi,
    I've installed 2 x 2GB, but it seems it doesn't work. The funny thing is that when running just one memory strip (so 2GB) it works, when running both it doesn't work and it freezes. These are the Samsung 2GB 2Rx8 PC2 - 6400s - 666 - 12 - E3
    Ive' installed the latest BIOS update (64bit v2.60) for the Satellite Pro A200 and I am running Windows 7 64bit

    Hi caribman
    What Satellite Pro A200 you have exactly?
    I ask this because some A200 models were equipped with Intel 943GML chipset and these models support 2GB only!!!

  • Q10 will not connect with BB Link via WiFi (updated software)

    Hello!  I have not been able to get my Q10 to connect to BB Link via WiFi since the lastest OS update.  Before, it was not an issue.  I can connect via USB without problems.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled BB Link on my computer and it does not work even though both the PC and the device are connected to the same WiFi network.  The checkbox in BB Link to allow WiFi connections is checked.  It is not the end because I can at least connect via USB, but wireless was so convenient.  Can anyone help? Suggestions? Thanks!

    OK, just messing around with this more tonight.  I was able to finally just get the iPod touch to connect to my phone via WIFI.
    My question or concern still remains about the Bluetooth connection.,,,
    Why is it that she can connect to my Personal Hotspot on my iPhone 5 even when I have the Personal Hotspot on my phone set to OFF? 
    Is this working as designed?  Even if I change my phone's Personal Hotspot password, she can still instantly connect even if I have it set to OFF on my phone.  You'd think that it would require for me to have it set to ON?  Or at minimum, if I changed the Personal Hotspot password on my phone, it would at least prompt her to enter a valid password?
    Thanks!

  • Satellite Pro A200 failing to boot

    Hi Guys,
    Needing help urgently.
    Laptop Sat Pro A200 will power up as far as the Toshiba password logon and then the cursor hangs top left corner, It wont enter F8 configurations.
    This unit is 3 months old Sat Pro A200 XP Pro.
    Used the laptop sunday lunchtime and set a system restore before installing some apps. I can get to the Bios.
    Also I used the Recovery Disk as a last resort. I am on holiday a week today and hopefully with the laptop.

    You said you have used the Recovery CD? Well, I presume you were not able to boot from them. Or Im wrong?
    Usually you should try to boot from the bootable CD like recovery CD, Win XP/Vista CD or Linux CD. This could helps to check if an hardware problem exists.
    If you want to boot from the CD I would recommend pressing the C button immediately after notebook starting. This should enable the booting from CD/DVD drive.
    At the other hand you could also try the F12 button. This enables the boot manager from where you could choose the ODD.
    Bye

  • Satellite Pro A200: XP + Vista installed/dual boot possible?

    Hi,
    I am not sure if I am right here at XP OS but I post it as it is OS related.
    My Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7) runs smoothly with XP but I want to create a sandbox (partition) for/with Vista.
    Basically I know that it is possible to run XP and Vista on one system. *But*, Satellite Pro A200 notebooks are shipped with a BIOS for XP and one for Vista and with information that you have to install the correct one. For me this means that you have to install BIOS for XP when running XP and BIOS for Vista when running Vista.
    Question:
    Is it possible to install Vista on a Satellite Pro A200 with XP as main OS and having so XP BIOS installed?
    Boot loader would be Acronis OSS as this loader already manage my two XP partitions.
    Many thanks for any information!
    Best regards,
    Andreas

    Hi
    In my opinion there are no serious reasons why you shouldnt be able to use Xp and Vista on your Satellite Pro A200.
    Ok there are different BIOS for Vista 64bit, 32bit and Win XP but your Vista should run also using the BIOS for Win XP.
    Ive got other Satellite notebook series and Im able to use XP and Vista at the same time. I mean Ive got a choice to boot either the XP or Vista ;) and Im still using the old BIOS version.
    Ok some functions are not available like FN keys but this is not very important for me.
    Well, to cut this story I think you can use Vista and XP without changing the BIOS ;)

  • Satellite Pro A200-1F9 - FN buttons dont work

    Hi
    My laptop is Satellite Pro A200-1F9 (PSAE7E-007003EN) with Windows Vista Business x64 recently I have swapped my WLAN Wi-Fi card , from standard Intel pro ABG to Realtek 8191SE "N".
    Card is recognized and visible in device manager, all drivers are installed, but no network available. System doesnt see any network. In addition I can't find and install proper TVAP which will allow me use FN+F8 combination.
    Can somebody help me please solve that problem?

    This notebook model is not supported for Win7 64bit. Try to use Toshiba value added package for Satellite Pro P300.
    You can find it here .
    Post some feedback.

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E: Cannot get hotkeys working on Win XP

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite Pro A200 PSAE1E which came with Vista on it, I have reinstalled it with Win XP Pro installed the relevant drivers from the Toshiba download page but cannot get the hot keys working.
    I have installed the controls and control driver but this does not seem to work. Have seen a posting about 'common module' somewhere but can't seem to find any links to download it on the download page.
    Can anybody help?
    Many thanks
    Iain

    The Controls utility and the Controls driver allow you to customize and preset TOSHIBA special button settings. But these are not a FN keys!!!
    You need to install the Hotkey Utility if you want to use the FN keys.
    Further hint:
    Its important that all Toshiba drivers and Utilities are installed in the right order.
    On the Toshiba driver page you will find a txt file called installation instruction.
    Please install all the drivers and tools in the order mentioned in this instruction!
    Greetings

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Supervisor Password Utility Setup fails

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site (http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I started installing the various drivers and utilities downloading them from the Toshiba site.
    When I try to install the "Supervisor Password Utility" the setup fails showing a message box which says "The serial number is invalid".
    Same problem with another setup: "Flash Cards Support Utility"
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem and which serial number is invalid?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    Hi,
    You are having the same trouble as other people on these forums.
    If you want to fix it yourself, you would need to look at the disk image on the disk that came with your toshiba, figure out which version of the application was included on that, you might be able to find that version on the website for a different model and different country (for instance, on the canadian website, for a totally different computer than my UK computer, i found a version of the flashcards support utility that works with mine.) But i don't think its possible to see what's on the restore disk without instaling it, i.e. wiping everything off your harddrive in the process.
    It really is extremely disappointing and frustrating. If anyone knows a way to communicate directly with toshiba about this problem without having to pay some sort of support fee, I would be very interested to hear about it. It seems noone from toshiba actually reads anything from these forum. It seems like a real wasted resource to me....

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Fn keys does not work with Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I own a Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E and a retail license for Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit (with SP1) installed on it.
    Before installing Vista, I upgraded the BIOS to the most recent version available on the Toshiba site ([http://it.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/vista_drivers.jsp?service=IT]).
    BIOS version is now 2.20-WIN32 contained in this file: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20080404121735.zip]
    After the successful installation of the operating system, I installed the "Value Added Package" ([http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/vap-20080109135106.zip]) which contains the "Flash Cards Utility". In my understanding, the installation of the "Value Added Package" should enable the Fn keys usage.
    This doesn't seem to be true or not completely true.
    Here is what happens.
    - Before the installation of the "Value Added Package" all the Fn keys didn't work.
    - After the installation of the "Value Added Package", if the TCrdMain.exe process is running, all the Fn keys don't work.
    - If I remove the TCrdMain.exe from the startup and I reboot the PC, only some Fn keys work (Fn+ESC, Fn+F1).
    There is no way (or I didn't find a way) to make all the Fn keys working.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanx in advance,
    mme000

    I do not know for sure but it can be because of SP1. I have installed Vista Ultimate on A200 and all listed stuff (drivers, tools and utilities) from Toshiba support page.
    Does your installations Vista DVD contains SP1 or you have installed it on your own? If you install Vista Ultimate (without SP1) and all stuff from Toshiba support site following Installations Instructions order.

  • Satellite PRO A200-1S1 with Windows 7 x32. Touchpad doesn't work

    Hi everybody
    I Installed Windows 7 on my Satellite Pro A200-1S1, retrieved all the drivers on Toshiba site, everything works fine (less than the web camera that didn't work even with previous s.o. XP or Vista...). But my Touchpad doesn't work at all.... No Fn+F9, no driver, nothing works. And in my control panel-device manager seems to be everything ok.
    Any suggestion?

    Hi
    Never had any problems with the touchpad using Win 7 32bit.
    I recommend installing VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Support Utility to get the FN button functionality. Then you could try FN + F9
    Both tools can be downloaded from Toshiba European driver page there you should choose Sat L500 series because I didnt find mentioned Win 7 software for A200 series.
    Check also the touchpad drivers which I found in L500 download area (Alps a Synaptics)

  • Satellite Pro A200 with Vista doesn't see other XP notebook in the network

    I have Satellite Pro A200 Toshiba and I have some problems with the network.
    The Inernet is upp and going but I cant find the other computers in my network.
    Im having 3 other computer in a network. The A200 is having Vista and the other one is having just XP-pro and XP-home.
    The network by the tree standalone is working fine but the laptop is not present in the network.
    I've have checked the workgroup so it the same.
    Is there anyhone thats having any idea how or whats the problem?

    Hi again. Ive discovered how to solve the problem! Its the Norton Internet security thats causes the problem.
    Just open the program, right click at the icon down at right, click at "Norton Protection Center"
    Click on the "Norton Internet Cecurity", Wirewall settings, Commin Settings, Common Rules, Configurate,
    Scroll down to "Standard-Block filesharing in Windows" Mark and "Modify", Mark the option "Allow" Save and go!
    If You have understand what Ive written it should be working, the thing is that I have Swedish versions of all the software
    so it might be a littel hard to understand the translation that Ive done. Try to use it and look for the most likness of my poor English.

  • XP via RIS installation on 32 Satellite Pro A200 laptops

    Hi,
    Can anyone help? I'm trying to install 32 laptops (Satellite Pro A200) via Windows 2003 Server Remote Installation Services. I've got past the problems with network cards and now have these working by adding the drivers into a $OEM$, $1, Drivers, Nic folder and thought that it might be simple to use the same solution to install the drivers for the SATA controller. How wrong could I be! I'm now pulling my hair out. The machines have the drivers installed in the same way ($OEM$ etc) in a directory marked sata. I have used the drivers from Intel's site - extracted to floppy disk and copied from there. Every time I try to re-image I get the same error "Windows did not detect any hard disk drives" and it's driving me crazy! I have edited risstnrd.sif, textsetup.oem etc etc to no avail.
    I found a link on Toshiba's German site for downloading drivers in this situation but the link is pretty slow I've tried to download those drivers now from three separate locations (3 different ADSL accounts) and each one starts off at about 36k per sec then dwindles down to bytes per second and then fails. (It's only a 21Mb file!)
    Has anyone managed to deploy these laptops via RIS? If so can you please let me know how you did it and what drivers you used?
    Many thanks,

    Hello Mark
    In my opinion RIS installation is pretty complicated theme and I am really skeptic someone will be able to help you. If you have some time try to use advanced search and check the results for RIS as searched term.
    Other way you can create your own recovery DVD and use it for OS installation. For recovery procedure you need about 20 minutes.

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E - WLan speed regularly drops out

    Hi
    Does anyone know what causes my laptop to lose wifi on a regular basis? It is a Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E running on XP. I purchased the laptop new back in February and it came with Vista loaded but the wifi kept dropping out and was advise to swap to XP as it was more stable.
    When the wifi drops, the Wirless Connection Icon disappears completely from the sys tray as though it never existed although the wifi light just under the front edge remains on. Looking in the network connection in the control panel the wifi is not listed.
    I have to shut down the laptop and reboot so that I can carry on working online.
    I've downloaded the latest driver for the Atheros AR5007EG and I rang Toshiba support.
    Anyone got any ideas - I'm disappointed with the performance of the WLan.

    Ive got the same model, and had the same issue with the Wireless Card today (otherwise its been fine for 4 months). I was confused by the card not appearing in the device manager - like it was totally wiped from the system. I rebooted a few times and it did still not appear.
    Left the laptop and did something else for a while, and on rebooting the card reappeared and the Wireless connection was remade.
    I also have the same question: What causes all trace of a device to disappear - rather than the card to be shown but with an exclaimation mark showing there was some sort of conflict which might help us to sort the cause of the problem.
    Have you had any help from anywhere else?
