T41 has Network Controller problem

I was given a T41 2373-7JU that I loaded with XP Pro. My problem is it will not connect to the internet via it's browser. In Device Manager it shows a Network Controller problem and I've been unable to correct this no matter how many different drivers I've tried. Also, how do I tell if there's an internal wireless card inside? It did connect to the internet earlier today using my USB adaptor but now I can't even do that anymore. I've tried a dozen or so solutions without any success so where should I go from here?

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Following are the drivers you need for Ethernet and wifi card (and yes, as per support page there's an internal card installed in your system):-

http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-42683
To install the drivers successfully, you need to run the .exe setups from C:\Drivers.... for each device after the first setup completes.
For ethernet, the setup is in C:\DRIVERS\Win\ETHERNET\PRO1000\Win32 and for wifi C:\DRIVERS\WLLANCSC.
Hope this helps.

NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller problem

Hi, I am a new user of Solaris and Linux and I am having a problem with my internet connection under solaris.... i was reading other messages in the forum and apparently solaris doesn't detect my network adapter because when i run ifconfig -a it only shows lo0....
I went to nvidia.com but the drivers on their website are only for the graphics card... where can i get the requiered drivers (and how do i install them under solaris) for my internet connection to work???
i have a NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller and connect to the internet using road runner trough a router...
thanks...

Hi, I am a new user of Solaris and Linux and and I am having a problem with my internet connection under solaris...<snip>

Hi,
Same problem here Javisam376, but I am on an AMD x64 platform, and wondered if that might be the reason why the Solaris Express Developer Edition was unable to see the NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller, so I wonder which platform you're on (32 or 64-bits?) A general Google search for "Solaris NVIDIA nForce Networking problem" gave a fair number of hits, so the problem, seems well known, but no solutions were suggested by anybody, as far as I could see(!?)
But it seems the Linux community has the same problem, since I found this posting on LinuxQuestions.org (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=471094):
"I just finished installing Red Hat 9 on my machine, which is running off of an AMD/NVIDIA nForce2 chipset mobo that has integrated ethernet. I was trying to set up my network connection, but was unable to locate the nvida ethernet controller in the Network app/Network Configuration Wizard. So I went on to nvidia's site and downloaded the x86 linux driver (using my other machine) and used a cd to pop it into the other comp... Saved it to the desktop,
then terminaled: sh NFORCE-Linux-x86-1.0-0310-pkg1.run.
It took me through a setup screen where I 'installed a audio and ethernet driver'. I checked the Network wiz again, still no entry for it. So I randomly clicked the hardware browser, and IT lists the 'nForce2 Ethernet Controller' under network devices, but I can't configure it from this screen. Anyway, I would seriously appreciate any help with this. I need to get internet access on this machine quick, so this is drivin' me crazy."

SM bus and network controller problem

Hi,
I have the above notepad but I cannot connect to the Internet.
In the device manager it shows yellow triangles with a "!" for :
- network controller
- SM Bus Controller
Where can I find the drivers for them?
I tried to put several drivers.
But most of the time a message came saying : "this computer does no meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
Can anyone help ?
Thanks in advance.

T42 Ethernet and Network controller problems

I am fairly new to computers and obtained a T42 for my grandson. Please bear with me as I am rather Techno challenged and battled now for 2 days getting internet connection. Had to do a clean XP SP2 installation and landed up with a host of Other devices issues with Yellow Question marks. Have downloaded most drivers from http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads with various success. Need serious help here please.
In Device manager I am sitting with two unresolved issues under Other Devices
Ethernet Controller PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_167D&SUBSYS_05771014&REV11\4&111A1FD8&0&00E0
AND
Network Controller PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4224&SUSYS_1011808&REV_05\4&AD1B67F&0&10F0
I have downloaded various drivers but still cannot get them to work. Not sure which of the drivers to use.
In another forum somebody replied
The Intel PRO/1000 is an ethernet controller. Once you get that installed and establish a network connection, you can download and install MS dotnetfx and Lenovo System Update which will download and install all the other drivers automatically. Or just download them yourself and manually install them.
Not very helpful as I could not figure ou thow to install as the drivers that I downloaded did not fix this and no further help from them when I questioned this
Please if someone here will give us some step by step directions. The model is 2373-L77 if that will help
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Checked the "DEV_" # on www.pcidatabase.com
upper: Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet driver (it seems, you have a T43-System Board in your T42 or you have a T43).
lower: 802.11a/b/g WLan adapter driver (Intel 2915 Wireless LAN adapter)
Please find the installation instructions on the linked pages. Executing the downloaded packages extracts them only to C:\DRIVERS\WIN\xxx.
Starting there you'll need to execute the setup as described on the download page.

NETWORK CONTROLLER PROBLEM IBM R50E, SYSTEM MODEL 1834EA6

DOES ANYBODY KNOW, WHERE CAN I DOWNLOAD THE DRIVER WITH THIS MODEL? THANKS...

Hi
I found the link I used through my history page.
remember i am using windows 2000 operating system and this worked for me.
If it doesnt work you could try similar toshiba models for the sdformat drivers, i found some under toshiba satelite pro-try different ones- you might get lucky- i did alot of trial and error to get mine working.
Anyway i got the file from toshiba ca website on this link, cant remember how i got there:
http://209.167.114.38/support/download/files_downloads/s2410/s241bxsd.exe
I unzipped the file then ran the .exe file, once this was done the base system came up as :
toshiba sd card controller type a
Then I selected it to update drivers and selected the s241bxsd folder and it found the .inf file
the sd card works a treat- picks up the sdcard as a removable drive.
Good luck.

No network controller driver for Portege R500 (Windows XP)

Hello
I don't quite understand why Toshiba does not provide the necessary drivers to make a new Portege R500 WLAN work. I have absolutely no wireless networking capability, as if the switch was turned off, and I have a yellow question mark in the Windows Device Manager ("Other devices", "Network Controller"). Windows does not find a driver on the two restoration CDs and trying to install everything from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads doesn't help neither.
Has anybody managed to find drivers to correct this "Network Controller" problem for an R500 under Windows XP? Maybe my unit has a hardware defect, because I can't believe that WLAN support for XP is not provided out of the box or at the very least by downloading files on the Toshiba support site
Thank you
Olivier

Hello
Reading your posting one thing is strange for me. Can you please explain to me what you mean with: Windows does not find a driver on the two restoration CDs.???
As far as I know restoration CD/DVD is not a kind of driver collection but recovery image that you can use for clean operating system installation. Can you please tell me which restoration (recovery) CDs you have? Are both of them for one operating system or you got one for Vista and other for WXP.
I have checked Toshiba support page and there is listed WLAN driver version 11.5.0.32 / 9.0.4.37. Download it and unzip the driver files and before you start installation check readme.txt file at first.
By the way, for WXP installation please use Installations Instructions document and follow listed installations order.

Has my Network controller failed?

Recently installed a New HD on a DV1000 notebook and have all the drivers on disc. All seemed fine till i got a Blue screen when turning on the wireless ant, switch. or updating the driver in the device mgr. for network controller. ??? Any ideas if replacing the NIC card will help? My nic cable conection had not worked in a longtime.
I seem to think that NIC not working has surfaced to become more serious. otherwise the wireless card always worked prior to reformatting. and updating the system and drivers. Is it worth continuing to try and fix this or is the motherboard part too costly?
Any advise
Much Thanks
Peter La

Hi David,
Thanks for the insightful help into this problem.
If anyone out there ever experiences this problem and are looking for an answer then the way to cure the problem is to erase the disk entirely and reinstall your original OS disk and then update the system. There must be some issue within the system which no body it seems has any idea how to correct in any other way.
All the best.

My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

The operation can not be completed because of an internal failure. A secure network communication has not been cleaned up correctly ... Iget this message when closing firefox. It obviously has been a problem in the past but I'm using FF 6

Vista STILL getting "Export Controller has stopped working" problem

Everyone knows about the "Export Controller has stopped working" problem. The error message displays, then half a minute later, you get a "Quicktime has stopped working" error message. I have Googled it numerous times and I have never found anything more than what I did the first time. As far as I'm aware there are still no fixes for this problem. I believe there has been about three Quicktime updates since the first release of Quicktime 7, when this problem arose, and none have made any difference. Reinstalling and uninstalling + redownloading doesn't work, and I am not prepared to downgrade to an older version of iTunes, or buy a Mac. If anyone has any possible fix for this, please post here. I wish Apple would do something about this.

A permissions glitch I think, Marz, masquerading as the Export Controller thing we saw a reasonable amount of a few versions ago. (I just checked the wife's 64-bit Vista lappie, and the QuickTime Player Start menu shortcut should have a run as administrator in the right-click menus ... whether that's part of your permissions trouble or a seperate business isn't clear, I'm afraid.)
The bulk of those "Export Controller" errors got fixed by an update to Apple Application Support, but I was involved in an epically long-running thread back then where we found that for a rare subset of them: (a) Run as administrator would launch the QuickTime Player without the message, and (b) in other admin user accounts on the same PC, the QuickTime Player could be launched normally without the message.
Since then I've seen a few other similar user-account-specific issues (with different error messages) where the same run-as-administrator trick gets you past the troubles. The precise error message seems to depend on which file/folder/key your user account loses a permission on.
Finding the dodgy permission can be a pain ... I don't have a reliable technique for that. But one workaround you might want to try is using the QuickTimePlayer.exe compatibility tab to set the Player to always run as administrator. (Unfortunately, it's usually a bit more reliable a workaround on 7 than it is on Vista.)
Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Track down the QuickTimePlayer.exe file again, right-click and select "Properties". In the Compatibility tab, select "Run as administrator" and click OK.
Try launching the Player again ... does it launch without the Export Controller error? Or do you instead get one of the error messages described in the following document?
[Error -2096 message when opening QuickTime for Windows in Compatibility Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1875]

TS1398 My iphone 5 is does not appear to be remembering my home wifi network and fails to reconnect automatically to it. My other iphone (4s) has no such problems. Any suggestions?

My iphone 5 does not appear to be remembering my home wifi network and connect to it automatically. I have to reconnect manually each time. My other iphone (4s w/iOS6) has no such problems. Any suggestions?

It's not a bug in iOS 6, and it won't be fixed. It's usually caused by your phone having been paired to 2 different networks with the same SSID. So it needs to ask which one you meant. Occasionally be corrupt data in the network settings, which is why Allan suggested Forget This Network.

My imac intel display is frozen. Both the mouse and my network is working. Has anyone had problems like this and were you successful at fixing it?

My imac (Intel) display is frozen. Both the mouse and the network are working. I've shut down various times, pulled the cord from the receptacle on the power strip, and restarted several times. No luck. Has anyone had problems like this and were you successful at fixing it? Thanks. Would appreciate any help. Paula

Same problem, but a c.2009 iMac running OS X 10.9.1. Just happened overnight. Presently, I'm able to access my HD via wireless via laptop and copying all non-backed up files to an external drive. So far, Paula is the only other person I've found with this same problem and hers was three years ago! Going to keep searching for an answer.
