Satellite Pro M50: WLan connection loses IP address after 10min

I have just purchased a Satellite Pro M50.
I can connect to router using Congfigfree o.k., but after 10 minutes or so it loses ip-address etc.
Have to refresh the wireless connection to reconnect.
This continues every 10 min or so.

The Problem seems to be built in Atheros AR5005G Adapter constantly dropping the connection.
Using a PCMCIA card to connect to WLan solved the problem.
updated
Found that changing the 'Power Save mode' from Normal to Off solves the problem with the
Atheros AR5005G Adapter.

  • Satellite Pro M70 can't refresh IP address after router reboot

    My Laptop isn't able to repair it's wireless connection if I reset the router. I have to power cycle the laptop to get it to connect again as it always gets stuck on getting network address... Any known issues about this with software patch or anything...?
    Thanks
    Huw D.

    Hello Huw
    As far as I know there are no known issues with WLAN connection and I dont know exactly what happen with your WLAN connection. After router reboot try to disable WLAN card for a short time, enable it again and try to establish connection again.
    The settings are the same and nothing must be changed.
    Bye

  • Satellite Pro L300 - WLAN connection has stopped working

    FN+8 indicates that the wireless is on as the icon shows but suddenly tonight the connection has failed while I was browsing the internet and I can't get it back.
    I have reset the modem - the laptop is currently connected by ethernet cable to the same modem with a good connection. The laptop is about 16 months old and is running Windows 7 Pro. I've updated all drivers tonight but even though it's "on" it isn't working.
    Will dig out the wireless usb modem tomorrow but I'm wondering if the card has given up :(
    null

    Yes it was listed. Oddly enough when I booted it the next day the wireless kicked in straight away. Go figure!
    Talked to a friend who repairs puter's in the US and he's told me that if it happens again to reset the wireless card - preferably without the two wires disconnecting from the card. I'm used to doing hardware and software upgrades with towers - time to learn about laptops :)
    Thanks for posting a reply xaver :)

  • Satellite Pro M50: ATI Radeon Mobility 200 - Blue Screen error

    Hi,
    My girlfriend has a Satellite Pro M50, she bought it around 3 weeks ago, recently it has begun freezing while in general use (playing music, browsing web over wifi etc) and then it blue screens. The blue screen only stays on for a fraction of a second before disappearing and restarting the machine.
    Once it has booted up again i send the error report to Microsoft and this lets me know that it may have been the ATI drivers, i went to the ati site to look for drivers but for some reason there were none for the mobility 200m, i used the drivers from the toshiba site instead and this seemed to fix the problem for a short while, but it is now happening again, is this a software or hardware problem and what should i do?
    any ideas anyone (machine specs below)?
    Toshiba Satellite Pro M50
    Intel Celeron 1.5ghz
    512mb RAM
    40gb HDD
    ATI Mobility Radeon 200m
    Win XP Home Ed
    cheers
    Rich

    When you boot up the computer, after the toshiba logo goes off hit F8 until it gives you the advanced boot up options. Boot up with the Computer does not restart after a fatal error. This will freeze the Blue screen when it shows up. Once it does copy the 0x00000 code and post it here. If you have a good stick of ram try that and see if it works. If not it could be the video memory.
    Or it could just be that the GPU is overheating because it is defective and needs to be replaced. Try another ram, and post the error code. If new ram has same issue, reinstall the OS and see if that fixes it. If not, could be a defective video card or even a processor. At which point I advise taking it to your ASP and have them test it to find the true cause.
    Hope this helps narrow it down.

  • Satellite Pro M50 - Need the MODEL number

    Hi everyone,
    I am new to this so please bear with me.I am looking to sell my Satellite Pro M50 and need the model number to list it correctly.
    Where can I find this number please.
    Thanks Keith.

    Hi again
    Well, as far as I know the Satellite Pro M50 belongs to the PSM55E series.
    Some of the Pro M50 have been equipped with the CELERON Mobile-360 (DOTHAN-CELERON 1.4Ghz) CPU, 14 WXGA screen, 256MB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon 200M 128MB shared graphics, 40GB HDD
    Of course there are Pro M50 units with faster CPU (1.5Ghz instead of 1.4Ghz), bigger RAM (512MB) and bigger HDD 60GB.
    I think you should install an hardware diagnostic tool like Everest Home edit which would scan the hardware parts. Then you could get all details about built-in parts

  • Satellite Pro 6100 - Cannot connect to WLAN router

    Hi there,
    I have brought a 2nd hand Satellite Pro, Model version SP6100 (PS610E-029ZV-EN), P4 1.7Ghz, 512Mb, 30GB, with Windows 2000 Pro loaded.
    I cannot get the wireless to connect to my router. The switch is in the correct position.
    I want to change to XP using the key supplied with the laptop from new (dual OS) however I can't get it to reformat using an XP disc at start up or if I use the recovery cd (start with holding C down and release when it runs up) it begins but displays "invalid drive specification" three times and loads Win2000.
    Can anyone advise how (or if!) I can reformat as I would like?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers.

    Hi Jaba,
    I'm quite happy to 'start again' and erase the existing partions via reformatting however I do not know how. I have tried starting with the XP disk in the dvd drive but it starts up in to 2000 without reading the XP disk.
    I would prefer WXP than W2000 as it will be for home use.
    If you or anyone else can advise on how I proceed from here I would be very grateful.
    Cheers All.

  • Satellite A100-003 WLAN connection timeout(with WPA-PSK)

    I have a Satellite A100-003 notebook with preinstalled Windows Vista.
    When I try connect to my router with WPA-PSK (TKIP) I have error:
    Wireless authentication failed because of a timeout.
    My notebook and router configurated correctly!! I installed new intel drivers for 3945ABG chip.
    WPA2-PSK and WEP work fine.

    Hi
    The same happened on my old notebook.
    I was not able to establish the WLan connection for longer than 1min with WPA encryption.
    I have downloaded the newest Atheros driver and updated everything.
    Everything works fine with WEP but not WPA.
    Then I have disabled the Windows own configuration option and use the Atheros client utility. Now everything works fine!
    I would recommend using the Intel Proset utility and check all possible settings!

  • Satellite Pro L300: WLAN is not in device manager and is missing

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba L300 which I downgraded from Vista to WXP months ago. So I decided to stick with Vista and when I installed Vista the WLAN was missing in device manger and it didn't work. I tried downloading drivers adapters from Toshiba drivers download and still didn't work. Only my Ethernet is showing in device manager....btw I have a Realtek WLAN
    Also,my VGA graphics card doesn't seem to update driver and when it does it says that the system is below minimum specs.
    It's soo weird in WXP it was working fine..... Any solutions?

    >I tried downloading drivers adapters from Toshiba drivers download and still didn't work.
    What does it mean exactly? Have you installed WLAN driver or not? Is WLAN card installed properly and listed in device manager as Realtek WLAN card?
    How to understand you?
    Have you problems to install WLAN card or to configure WLAN connection?
    If the WLAN card is installed properly enable the card with WLAN switch and then use FN+F8 key combination and be sure card is set to ON.
    Which display driver you want to install? Which version?

  • How to install the new BIOS for Satellite Pro M50 running Ubuntu

    I am running Ubuntu on my Pro M50. Could someone advise me what the latest BIOS is and how to install it?
    The BIOS upgrade site here seems to havean exe file but I couldn't see the BIOS file within?
    Thanks

    Why do you want to update the BIOS?!
    Do you have any big troubles with your notebook?!
    The Toshiba European driver page provides BIOS for XP and BIOS for Vista.
    Both BIOS versions must be executed while the operating system is running!
    If you use the Linux on your notebook, you will be not able to update the BIOS!!!
    Do you understand?
    Once again; The BIOS update should be done ONLY if its absolutely necessary. In other case dont update it!

  • Satellite Pro A200: Card Reader does not work after XP installation

    Hi...
    I have removed Windows Vista from my Satellite Pro A200 in favour of XP Home.
    I'm much happier with the machine now but am unable to get any response from the Card Reader. There's no mention of it in the User's Manual that came with the machine.
    I can't find any reference to it in the Control Panel's Hardware Manager and nothing changes in there when I insert an SD memory card.
    I didn't have cause to try the reader prior to removing Vista, so I don't know if it ever worked... although I imagine that it did.
    Running a search for a driver in the download section didn't have any success and this forum has no direct answers.
    Does anyone have any idea what I need to do to get this to work?
    Popa Mintin.

    Hi
    I dont see any serious reasons why your card reader shouldnt run/function with installed Windows XP.
    What you need is the right driver.
    The Toshiba driver page provides all Win XP drivers and there is also an XP driver for the multi card reader.
    You need a Texas Instruments Flash Media Driver. This is a driver for your Bridge Media Slot.
    This slot lets you insert either a SD card, Memory Stick (Pro) or xD picture card.
    Cheers

  • Satellite Pro A300-1DZ does not find HDD after BIOS update

    Hi everyone,
    I have recently purchased a secondhand Satellite Pro A300 1DZ.
    Put a fresh copy of Windows xp home on it.
    I then went on to install all the drivers needed from Toshiba's own site and at the end of this I thought it may be a good idea to update the bios????
    OH DEAR what a big mistake.
    Now the netbook will NOT start windows.
    So I thought thats ok I will just start from the begginning and reinstall windows again, but it is telling me it cannot find a hard disk on my netbook?
    aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am going crazy,
    Could someone please tell me how to fix this? Thank you x

    Hi
    I think the option SATA mode has been set to AHCI and therefore the Windows XP cannot find the HDD.
    This is because of the SATA controller.
    You can set the SATA mode from AHCI mode to compatible mode and this will allows you to install the Win XP on the notebook without the usage of SATA drivers.
    So, youve got two options if you want to install Win XP:
    AHCI mode -> but you have to include SATA drivers
    Compatible mode -> Win XP installation possible without the SATA drivers

  • Satellite Pro U400-15I - Sound Wheel not working after Windows 7 install

    The sound wheel on my Satellite Pro U400-15l does nothing after the Windows 7 clean install from XP pro.
    I used the recommended Software update tool downloaded from Toshiba. The VolumeIndicator.exe process is running and the sound works OK - just not under the control of the wheel! Also the Toshiba Power control is not there but this is not a problem.
    Any suggestions welcome.
    Bob Sheppard

    Hi Syntax,
    there is no option to add the volume control to the taskbar in the control panel.
    The sound driver is 'Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221'
    Interestingly, when I click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select the mixer option I get 3 sliders called 'Device','Applications' and 'Sound Volume Indicator of Toshiba Control'. If I move this slider with my mouse I get the indicator I am looking for ( The Toshiba indicator I had under XP). However, this slider only works as a 'minimum' for the other sliders.
    Thanks for your help but I still would like that volume indicator back!

  • Satellite Pro M70: Cannot connect to WLan with ConfigFree

    Hi in Forum.
    I'm having trouble with a Satelite Pro M70, concerning gaining control of wireless conections.
    When scanning with "The Radar" i ConfigFree for available wireless accesspoints, I get several points available, but is not able to connect to a single one of them. I can read their status and see their WEP encryption marker.
    When I try to connect to any one of them, I get a pop up dialog box, which says (translated from danish) "Another suppliers software is in control of the wireless adapter". When trying to set up a connection through the classic windows way, windows states that "windows is not able to configure this wireless connection - if you have another program to administrate wireless connections you must use this". I suppose it refers to ConfigFree...?
    Is the unnamed "other supplier" Windows related or maybe McAfee related (Security Suite 2007)?
    If you're familiar with this problem or something like it I would be please to know.
    By the way - where do I enter WEP encryption keys for my friends WLAN routers in ConfigFree?

    > When trying to set up a connection through the classic windows way, windows states that "windows is not able to configure this wireless connection - if you have another program to administrate wireless connections you must use this". I suppose it refers to ConfigFree...?
    It must be not a ConfigFree. Depending on you WLan card an Intel ProSet utility or a Atheros Client utility could controls the Wlan configuration!
    Please check if one of the both tools controls the wlan and disable the function!
    > where do I enter WEP encryption keys for my friends WLAN routers in ConfigFree
    You should have three different tabs in the Configfree utility.
    The second one Device settigns provides device list and there you should find Wireless network connection.
    Choose it and use the button Network connections.
    There you should find some encryption settings!
    Please check also the Profile settings tab and the option called Security settings

  • Satellite Pro L20: WLan adaptor stopped working and will not enable

    Hi,
    I have a Satalite Pro L20 which has been working fine. However, just before Christmas 2006, the wireless adaptor, (Atheros AR5005G), stopped working.
    Windows XP Pro SP2 can see the adaptor, and network connections shows it as being enabled, but it doesn't see any networks.
    The Atheros Client Utility Troubleshooter says that the adaptor pases it diagnostics up to the Radio test, when it says that the Radio is disabled and needs to be enabled in the Client Utility.
    "Excellent!", I thought, opening up the utility with anticipation. Looked under the Action menu to find 'Enable Radio' is greyed out!!!
    HELP!!
    Any assistance is very welcomed.
    Cheers,
    Barry Smith.

    Is there any hardware option to turn on and off your Wlan card? (switch)
    Did you upgrade your Wlan driver recently? (if yes, maybe with wrong driver?)
    I've had a similar issue once and solved it through driver updates... wanna give it a try?
    You can download the generic Atheros driver (Version 5.0.0.107) available from here:
