Satellite Pro U400 - Lost network connection after suspend

I have a Toshiba Dynadock. My network is connect directly in dynadock.
When suspend my Satellite Pro U400 and after restart for continue working I lost my network connection. Then I shutdown my computer and disconnect/connect Dynadock I can continue working.
What's the problem?
Version software Dynadock is 2.0

Hi
I see you have switched from Vista to XP.
First of all I recommend updating the BIOS.
As Im not mistaken you should find a newer BIOS version on the Toshiba European driver page.
Then you have to update the Win XP to the latest state!
The XP should be up to date and all service packs, patches and MS fixes should be installed in your notebook.
Then access the device manager and mark in every USB root hub you have to disable the option called Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
You can find this option in properties -> Power management tab

  • Lost network connection after standby on Satellite P200

    Hi
    Laptop Satellite P200
    OS VISTA 32
    When I stop working with laptop I usually close monitor and when next time open laptop computer lost network connection.
    Then I have to renew IP config and internet start working.
    Does anybody know why and how to avoid this?
    End I still want to use standby options.
    Tnx for any idea

    Hi
    In your case I recommend updating the BIOS and to enable the option Wake up on LAN in BIOS and in the Vista.
    In Vista you can enable this in device manager -> LAN card properties -> Advanced tab
    Additionally a LAN driver update would be advisable.

  • Fascinate lost network connection after last Froyo update.

    Anyone know how to fix this issue. After updating to the knew froyo upate last month my sons phone lost network connection and won't connect. It doesn't even show up in the settings for him to be able to connect. He can still make calls and connect but nothing data wise. Plus he still gets missed calls so that update never worked for him either. Please help and thanks.

    I understand how frustrating this must be. My personal device had this problem and I found a solution that worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you as well.
    1. Put the device in Airplane mode (hold power button and select airplane mode)
    2. Wait 3 minutes for changes to take effect. You should see the airplane icon in the notification bar as well as the airplane lock screen.
    3. Power the device off and wait 15 seconds.
    4. Power the device on. Once sense loads, turn airplane mode off.
    5. In the settings>Wireless & Networks Menu, check the box entitled "Mobile Network"
    6. Everything should re-provision and data should be restored.
    If the steps above do not resolve you issue you may want to try a master reset. Resetting the phone deletes all data, including downloaded applications, and resets the phone back to its initial state—the state before you turned on the phone for the first time.
    Important: Make sure to back up important data you have on the phone before you reset your device.
    Master Reset:
    From the home screen, touch Menu
    Touch Settings 
    Touch SD & phone storage
    Touch Factory data reset
    Tap Reset phone 
    Tap Erase everything
    Reset may take anywhere from 1 - 10 minutes for reset and restart depending on amount of data on device.
    I hope this information has been helpful.

  • [SOLVED] Losing network connection after suspend

    Lately I'm having this peculiar problem.  When resuming after suspend (specifically, pm-suspend), I have no network connection.  I first noticed this on March 31st.  The only thing that changed was that I upgraded these packages:
    openssl-1.0.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    xf86-video-ati-6.14.4-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    lib32-libdrm-2.4.33-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    libnotify-0.7.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    xz-5.0.3-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    vim-taglist-45-5-any.pkg.tar.xz
    But I'm pretty sure I would have suspended and resumed successfully at least once after that upgrade.
    Can anyone suggest what I should look at to try to diagnose this?
    Thanks

    Same issue here. Looks like dhcpcd crashes during or after running /usr/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks on resume from suspend. I'll try downgrading until this is fixed.

  • Windows 7 Pro not finding network connections after boot camp installation. Is there something special we have to do to get the network (wired and wireless) set up?

    Any suggestions for getting the network connections working on Windows 7 Pro running on a Mac Min with OSX Lion?

    If you haven't yet installed the Windows Support Software, that's probably why, so install it now.

  • Lost network connection after SW update

    First time poster, relative newbie to Mac. I blindly updated to 10.4.11 and then found that my Mini had no network connection, yet my Ministack external FW HD and WinXP (thru BootCamp) will still connect wirelessly to my Westel router which has not been touched throughout this ordeal. My network is still shown and even offered to me for use during boot, but fails to connect. I have thrown every switch I can find in sys prefs to no avail. I have been asked for a WEP password, but security is switched off (in prefs and router), and I never used a PW before. I've spent hours Googling this topic, but can't find an exact match to my situation. I don't have the Mac knowledge to undo the update, or even know if it can be done. I can't understand how the bootable external HD can share the connection, but the "host" computer can't use it. Gotta be a setting wrong somewhere, eh? Please help.

    A warm welcome to the forums!
    Tons of similar posts, but not too many with the same cause fix.
    If you haven't done regular maintenence like Disk validate/repair, Permissions fixes, etc, ete.
    Then you Might give a try with Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • Lost network connection after update

    I waited a little long to update (~4 months) and am paying the price.  The recent update broke X as well as my network connection (and who knows what else!).  When I type ls /sys/class/net/, all I get is lo@.  I'm a little rusty with Arch as I was really really busy with school.  Do you have any suggestions for fixing this?  Here is my rc.conf if it helps:

    and didn't see anything about a usb being registered by the system.
    Neither ifconfig or ip are installed.  So that is also a considerable issue.  Is all hope lost other than getting a live CD of ubuntu, spending a day copying files off of the hard drive and reinstalling?
    Sorry, I must have been really tired when I typed this.  Both programs (ifconfig, and ip) are in /sbin/.  I'm betting I tried 'sudo su' and they weren't on the path and being out of it, I assumed the wrong thing.  I'm going to try and mount a usb again to see if I messed that up as well...
    I still don't have an eth1 or eth0.  But maybe all hope is not lost.
    Update:
    No device nodes are created in /dev/ for usb drives, and my computer won't even power them unless I do it at boot.  I also noticed that my keyboard doesn't work at all during grub.

    I am wondering if the kernel on the boot partition somehow did not get upgraded when we moved up to 2.6.2939
    Yeah it does.  So no luck there.

  • Satellite T130-11U lost Bluetooth connection after installing Mobile Broadb

    I recently bought a Satellite T130-11U and established a connection with my Nokia N82, using PC Suite.
    Then I installed my Mobile Broadband (TMN operator) and lost the Bluetooth connection.
    There must be some way to overcome this "conflict".
    Anyone faced the same problem?
    Thank you.

    Hi
    Maybe this 3rd party application is not compatible and this is the reason why this happens
    But first of all you should check if the Bluetooth is still enabled
    Furthermore you should check if this issue would happen after installation of new BT stack
    Here you can find the new BT stack:

  • Help - lost network connection after firmware upda...

    I just updated the software for my 5500, and while it isn't 'dead', it no longer picks up a signal (ie: no bars). I've tried two sim cards, and neither works. I've tried setting the network operator manually, but no luck there, either - it recognized the network once, but never after that. I'm using att in the virgin Islands, which worked perfectly before the update. Any hints?
    Thanks!

    I finally called Apple and reset the Airport. It's working again.
    Thanks, John. Yes, I could see my network in the Airport menulet, but the Airport couldn't see the internet. In the Airport Utility the DHCP address appeared correct, that is, assigned by my service provider. The router IP address was 10.0.1.1 and my laptop was 10.0.1.XXX.
    If I plugged the modem directly into my computer and renewed the DHCP license it would work. As soon as I moved it to the Airport and rebooted the Airport there was no internet access via Ethernet or WiFi. I tried rebooting everything at least a dozen times.
    I called Apple and reset the Airport with a paper clip. I had to re-enter all of my information, network name, password, etc. I got a configuration error the first time I hit "update" but after another reboot it worked. We also turned off my cable modem for at least five minutes.
    I wish I'd thought of resetting the Airport (instead of just rebooting).

  • Satellite Pro U400 - microphone reception problem after installing xp sp3

    I had Vista then recently I installed windows XP SP3 from scratch (not downgraded). I downloaded latest drivers from Toshiba and installed them. Now I have a problem with microphone. Sound playback from speakers is well but reception level of built-in microphone is very low and often unrecognizable. I use a voip program. In Vista, microphone was working better.
    Now in WXP, I am told that they can't hear me or my voice is very low and hardly recognizable. I also tried sound recorder in windows. My voice is like I am talking from ten meters away.
    I don't have an external microphone so I can't tell if line-in micro. is working well.
    In previous posts people mention downloading a hotfix for xp sound issues but I am not sure if applies to my situation.
    Thank you
    Erdem

    I did not use the recovery disc. I used another disc I have with SP3. So, I had to install the drivers manually. Everything is perfect now except the microphone. I re-installed sound drivers today, nothing changed. I think tempro is for Vista only.
    Microphone is recognizedby the system but the problem is it does not capture the sound properly.
    In my voip software, there is a test for microphone. I can see the bar moving as I speak but I can not hear my own voice when play the record, even at 100% volume, just some noise and a low .
    If I check the "microphone boost" from properties, I can hear my recorded voice but with a lot of noise and still lower than normal volume.
    Can it be related to another drive or some adjustment I overlooked? I also applied the recommendations for sound quality that are on Skype help pages.
    Short model no is PSU41E.
    Thanks

  • 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 U400 sometimes freezes when the power cord is plugged in

    Hello! I know this problem has been discussed here and there but I would like to open a new thread on that. Here is the scenario.
    I have recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-247 (PSU45E) with two batteries: (a) the original one, (b) additionally purchased Toshiba genuine PA3636U-1BRL, 7200 mAh. The notebook has the latest BIOS (4.80) and the latest drivers downloaded from Toshiba and installed (ConfigFree is not installed). I am using XP Pro SP3 (clean install done by myself). Everything is working very well, except for one thing:
    Sometimes (but not always), when the notebook is working on battery and I plug in the power cord, everything freezes and I have to restart. Some observations:
    (a) it tends to happen more frequently when the low battery alarm has already sounded;
    (b) it seems to happen more frequently with the 7200 mAh battery and less frequently with the original battery;
    (c) it seems to happen more often when a USB device (e.g. mouse) has been connected with the notebook, but that is not a rule;
    (d) it seems to happen less frequently when I move the USB mouse at the time I am plugging in the power cord;
    (e) I have experimented a lot with Toshiba PowerSaver's settings (e.g. changed the CPU levels for my profiles) but nothing I have modified seems to change the situation;
    (f) I have tried various suggestions I found on different forums, but no avail (e.g. BIOS settings);
    (g) otherwise, I can say that I really have not seen a smoother computer, everything else is really working just fine, no other problems whatsoever :)
    All this makes me think that this must be some kind of bug in the motherboard drivers, the PowerSaver driver or other drivers interacting with the battery, the CPU or possibly USB. Is there an explanation for this problem and can it be rectified somehow (e.g. by providing a driver update)?

    Hello, thanks for the reply!
    My bad, of course I meant the chipset driver. That, however, does not change the essence of the question. Also, I know that a notebook should function properly even the AC adaptor is connected or not connected. That is why I posted my question.
    As for the OS reinstall, sorry, I would not do that just on some wild guess from somebody. I recently finished the clean OS install. I have installed XP on dozens of notebooks in my life and I know what I am doing. I have been into computers and networking for 15 years and I know when I see a problem not related to how I install my OSes.
    My personal opinion: this problem has not to do with the OS install since the same problem also existed when I test-installed the XP OS image from Toshiba's own downgrade CD (that was before I did a clean install from my own slipstreamed CD). And, if you really use a properly and carefully configured OS with all the necessary software, an OS reinstall is not something you just do every day.
    As for the rest (testing the memory / adapter / motherboard etc.): as I have mentioned, similar (although not identical) topics have been raised in various other instances (e.g. at http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/B...EABCA64EE6C5D9) . That means that this problem is most probably not specific to my computer or even to U400 but it may happen with other Toshiba notebooks too. Therefore a (rather standard) suggestion to spend days on reinstalling (and in my case, carefully reconfiguring) the OS, checking the memory, adapter, mobo etc. does not sound as the most plausible one in this case. FYI, I always do full tests on hardware right after I have installed an OS. In this computer, all tests (Toshiba's own; 3rd party memory diagnostics, HDD diagnostics) were passed OK. Indeed, I did not have the AC adapter tested but as it otherwise works fine, the possible problem (if there is one) would be a minor one to notice, and would require testing at a Toshiba service centre (there is no direct Toshiba agency in my country). I think testing the AC adapter is the last resort as much more probably, the problem lies somewhere else.
    Even if this problem is hardware-related, I do not expect Toshiba to replace all such hardware out there. However, on many occasions, hardware-related problems can be cured or alleviated on the software side (e.g. by a driver or BIOS update). Since it seems that other people are having similar problems with Toshiba hardware/software, I thought that maybe someone has found an actual solution or maybe there are Toshiba employees reading these forums who could look into it.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - Unable to connect to internet

    I have an old Satellite SPA10 which lost internet connectivity about a year ago.
    The components at fault are:
    Ethernet Controller
    Network Controller
    Video Controller
    Video Controller (VGA)
    I have tried numerous attempts to install drivers to replace those already on but each attempt has failed. The Toshiba downloads I used were from the following link:
    http://www.toshiba.co.uk/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK&mode=allMachi nes&action=sea...
    I'm using a desktop which is ok although it does have its own faults and would like to get back to using the Satellite.
    Any suggestions please?
    (Using Windows XP)

    Hi
    This old notebook model is supported for WXP but WXP is not supported by Microsoft anymore.
    Anyway if you want to have well working machine I recommend you to make clean WXP installation.
    After doing this you should install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities additionally.
    This notebook model was offered with WXP SP1 at this time.
    Do you have WXP installation disc? Is clean WXP installation an option for you?
    If yes I can help you with this and send you exact installation order for drivers, tools and utilities.
    One more thing: do you have original recovery installation disc?

  • MacBook Pro drops Wi-Fi connection after upgrading to 10.6.5. Fixed!

    MacBook Pro drops Wi-Fi connection after upgrading to 10.6.5. Airport says no IP is detected then suddenly reconnects?
    This has been a problem I’ve been troubleshooting for the last month. I’m new to the Mac family and have loved my experience up until this point. I was under the impression that mac’s are supposed to be so user friendly that even your grandmother could use one with out having any technical knowledge. I mean I shouldn’t have to be deleting drivers or reformat my mac because of an OS update glitch? (That’s what the guy at the Genius Bar told me to do.) What I refused to succumb to was that I’m really good with computers. I get at least a phone call every other week from someone asking me for tech support. So I’d like to think that nothing I’ve done to the system would have caused this anomaly.
    After numerous attempts of troubleshooting and researching forms I believe I’ve discovered a solutions that seems to be working for me.
    Here are the steps I took to create a consistent connection to my Wi-Fi. I believe it was a combination of all these steps to create success.
    1.) Changed my router to use G Wireless Only. (I’m assuming this removed any unnecessary frequencies to allow G to broadcast stronger?)
    2.) Did a scan on the other networks in my area to find out what channel everyone else was broadcasting on. Copy and past the text below into a terminal window.
    sudo ln -s /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resourc es/airport /usr/sbin/airport
    This will allow you to simply type “airport” in the terminal window to execute the command.
    Type airport –s
    This will display all the networks in your area and what channel they are broadcasting on.
    3.) Changed my router to use a channel that no one in my area was using. (This helped to make my network stronger and free of interference.)
    The last steps will help your home network improve but these next steps I believe helped fix any install errors caused maybe by the 10.6.5 update on my mac.
    4.) Boot your Mac into safe mode by holding down the shift key while booting.
    5.) Open System Preferences and Click on Network.
    6.) Click the drop down menu from Locations at the top of the screen. Click edit locations..
    7.) Create a new location by clicking the + and give it a new name.
    8.) Delete the old location by clicking on the old locations name and click the – to remove.
    9.) Reboot
    10.) Open System Preference and click on Network.
    11.) Click on the settings sprocket next to the + and – and click on Set Service Order…
    12.) Drag Airport to the top of the list of devices then click Ok.
    Now this last step is what seemed to eliminate the issue. I hardcoded my IP address to my network. This way my computer will always use the same IP and not have to search.
    13.) Click on Advanced under Network.
    14.) Click on TCP/IP. Click on the drop down for Configure IPv4 and change it to Manually.
    15.) Fill out the fields with your IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.1xx (x=whatever number) Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 192.168.1.1 (All of these settings are pretty standard for most home networks.)
    16.) Click on the drop down for Configure IPv6 and change it to Off.
    17.) Next click on the DNS tab at the top.
    18.) Click the + to add a DNS Record.
    To find your DNS Server open a Terminal window by launching Applications --> Utilities --> Terminal
    Then Type cat /etc/resolv.conf
    (There is a space between cat and /. Without it you’ll get no such file or directory.)
    This should return two addresses. Your ISP’s DNS Servers.
    19.) Add both records to the DNS and click Ok.
    20.) Click Ok then under Network Click Ok.
    21.) Reboot router then Mac
    22.) Fixed my connection issue
    The symptoms I experienced eluded me to believe that something with the DHCP is going into an idle then disconnecting. Before when DHCP was set to automatically assign the network signal would time out then searchers for a new IP resulting in Airport displaying No IP is detected. By setting my IP to a fixed address I still notice a slight drop in bandwidth at moments but because of the assigned IP I never loose connection. I can now stream video, play games, chat all without getting disconnected.
    I believe this fix will work for my home network but I also noticed this issue at work so for each location that I connect for the time being I’ll create each there own location and hardcode the IP address to that network. I’ve been reading that 10.6.6 is coming soon so maybe this will be resolved for good in the next update.
    Let me know if this helps or if you have any questions.
    Best of luck.

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?
