Tecra 8000 wireless link

I have obtained a Tecra 8000 with a 10/100 Network port replicator that will be used as a second desktop at home. On my main PC I use a Netgear DG834G ADSL wireless router (802.11g) for a broadband connection. What is the best way to make a wireless connection with the Tecra ?
There appear to be a number of cardbus adapters (eg Netgear WG511)or USB adapters (eg WG111).
Is the Tecra 8000 USB v2 or v1.1 ?
I could simply put the router close by and use the ethernet link but I would rather have the laptop away from the available phone sockets. Is it best to test the LAN connections etc in this manner before attempting the wireless link?
Regrettably I have cross posted this on the Tecra forum before I discovered this one. My apologies

I have the same router and use a Netgear WG511T...works very well. Just install the software that comes with the wireless card and plug it in...that's about it. You can then network the two computers together...if you're running XP on both it's pretty automatic (just run the network wizard on both machines).
You can of course hard wire your Tecra into the router...but as you say a wireless link is far more versatile and after all, that is what the DG834 is designed to do.
Make sure the drivers for the DG834G and the network card are the most up to date ones. You may have to reconfigure the router to allow a new computer to log into it...but that's not too difficult

Help needed by installing wireless to an Tecra 8000

I have just bought the wife an old tecra 8000 laptop and would like to run wifi on it, I bought a d-link router and a d-link usb adapter but it said I needed a hi-speed usb, and it wouldn,t pick up the router, would a pcmia card work better, also can anybody suggest a modem/router and card that works on it,any help is much appreciated....

Hi
The Tecra 8000 supports only the USB 1.1 standard.
The high speed USB ports are 2.0
Many USB devices are designed only for the USB 2.0 and I assume your USB WLan adapter supports also only the 2.0 standard.
The PCMCIA should work better. There is no standard limitation like on the USB ports.

Tecra 8000: PC Wireless Card is not recognised

I am trying to conect my Tecra 8000 to my wireless router, but the card is not recognised when I plug it into the laptop, it is recognised in my satelite. I have tried running windows 98 and now 2000 but his makes no difference.
Is there anything I should be doing?

We have a PCMCIA WLAN card running on our Tecra 8000 but it needed upgrading to Windows ME before the drivers were properly functioning, although the handbook coming with the card claimed it would run on Windows 98 SE too. After browsing through several internet support forums, this was the only solution that turned up, and in Windows ME it is running very stable (although comparibly slow by today's standards).

Tecra 8000 Laptop

Hi,
Has anyone had any success or even tried to install on this laptop?
It goes fine until the display settings, I can only choose the default 640 screen, and I don't want that. in the specs sheet from toshiba it states Intel 440BX that is the chipset used, but when you go to the driver on the toshiba site it says it's Neomagic. Should I give up or is there suggestions anyone can give me?????

thanks for the info, I will keep this link bookmarked,
They are not showing the Tecra 8000. guess I will have to keep checking.
THANKS!

Can't cure a "MSI.BufferChm - Error 1603" problem and install Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless software.

I'm trying to install an HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless A809N. OS = XP Pro SP3. I keep getting a message:
"Fatal error during installation. [code 1603?] [error situation code: 27764920]
The older version of BufferChm cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group."
I tried all the suggestions on this support page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02455020&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us
except that in solution two, some of the services wouldn't turn off due to "Access Denied".
I finally gave up and installed the basic drivers and hoped that once they were installed, I could install the full software. But no dice! How do I fix this "MSI.BufferChm" problem?
Thanks.

I don't blame the consumer-users in this forum, but when HP advertises the forum so prominently in so many places as one of their "solutions", they should provide employee help here.
I googled and it seems to be a problem for a lot of folks. And a lot of references back to this forum. I didn't follow too many of them and didn't spot a solution. There may be one - I just didn't see it.
This is from Microsoft and has several ideas I didn't see on the HP site. Microsoft Link Take a look. MSI is a microsoft thing, not HP.
As for HP employees, there are some that monitor this group unofficially. Hopefully you'll get some attention now. Or at least from some of the other folks who may have even more computer fixit experience.

Tecra 8000 not recognising PCMCIA

Ive been using my XP loaded Tecra 8000 and connected to the internet via a wireless system using the USB port. As this keeps losing signal, Ive just bought an Edimax Cardbus Fast Ethernet PC Card. It fits in the PCMCIA slot and gives me an RJ45 connection straight to the router. The problem is that I have fitted the card into the bay but XP has not recognised it. Do I need to alter the bios for the PC to recognise this new hardware?
Many thanks
Rob

Thanks but I bought this new with the drivers. I contacted the supplier who now thinks that my Tecra wont recognise the hardware. The hardware was 32 bit and he reckons mine is only going to accept a 16 bit card. I dont know as Im new to all this, so I have returned the card and bought a USB/RJ45 adaptor instead and I now have a constant connection.

Upgrading Tecra 8000

I recently have a Tecra 8000 which i got from work as they were buying new notebooks. After installing windows 2000 on it, i gave it a spin. I was suprised about the speed this little machine has.
So anyone any ideas on how to get a free manual for it and some upgrading tips? (graphics for instance)

MikeyC,
You can download the user manual from the following link:
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Tecra/t8000/manual/userman-t8000-en.zip
The graphics chip is on the system board, so you will not be able to upgrade this. However, you may be able to add more memory, for example.

Tecra 8000 bios

Hi
Another boring question but one unanswered by toshiba :) What file do I use to update the BIOS in my tecra 8000 PII 3000 when I dont have a floppy drive??
The bios update page does not list my tecra .
Thanks in advance

Hi again
In my first posting there are two links where you can look for some answers. On European site there is Knowledge base where you can search for some Technical support information. You can also check if you can find some answers on US Toshiba site.
Go please on http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp . There you can find option called Search with Ask Iris. Choose your model and under question you can write BIOS UPDATE. After short time there you can find document called Installing BIOS from a bootable CD-ROM. I hope that this article can help you.

New operating system for old Tecra 8000

Hi all,
I just bought a Qosmio F10 and would like to give my old Tecra 8000 (P2 300Mhz, 8Gb, 192Mb RAM) to a friend. This computer is running very well on Windows 98 1st edition and I still have all the installation disks. I would like to reformat the hard drive in order to remove my identity, and upgrade the operating system to a newer version of Windows.
My questions are:
- Which operating system considering the low specs ?
- How do I reinstall Toshiba notebook features ?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
you can try to install Win2000, Toshiba provides W2k drivers ad tools https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com in the Driver Download section!
W2k should run with 300Mhz, but I think it is very slow and not userfriendly with 192MB RAM!
In my opinion you should try to setup W2k ad check if it is fast enoug to wok, otherwise reinstall Win98 SE and the drivers and tools (also available at the posted link)

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
Ron

the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
handbrake is a free program which does this for you
itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
apple don't use DRM for music any more

HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer - A809n.says it's out of ink but has new cartridge

about 6 monhs ago the printer stopped printing stating it was a out of ink (black) after i replaced the cartridge it stopped again after about 10 days. i contacted HP and they basically told me to get a new printer. i decided to try a new cartridge again and reboot etc, etc. it still would work i use my other HP printer before looking to buy another. i read on the internet that this was a frequent problem with the HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless Printer - A809n. and it might be an printhead problem. i replaced the printhead and any low or outdated ink cartridge. the printer worked perfectly for 4 weeks. now i am having the same problem. this sticks. it is leaving a bad taste . i have been a loyal HP user i feel HP has made a questionable product and is not standing behind it.

Firmware update for HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless to fix load paper issue - as for the 8500?

Is there any hope that that soon will be a firmware update to fix the issues loading paper and the printheads for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 wireless printer?
A month or two ago there came a firmware update to the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless, which has some of the same issues,
and allegedly should have the much of the same load-mechanism as the 8000 printer.
It would be great, as we are on the fourth (4) replacement of this HP 8000 printer. For example, it would be great if we could use normal (80g) paper and not has to use (HP) 90g paper, as this prevents us from using the duplexer and only print on one side.

Thanks for the advice to contact HP tech support!
I have tried in multiple ways since November 2009 to contact HP, when I got the first (of 4) printers. The first 3 printers was subsequently replaced.
Finally in late June 2010 I got the message that there was coming an firmware update for Windows, but not for Mac's. The firmware should improve among other things the paper pick up (load paper issue) and the print-heads life.
I have applied the Windows firmware on the printer from a pc, but still seems to have load-paper issues, even using HP Bright White paper, when printing from Mac's. I have not tested the printing from a pc, but assumes that a firmware upgrade the printer, and are not specific to a certain OS.

Printing to hp officejet pro 8000 wireless

After my 10-year-old DeskJet was incinerated by lightning, I purchased an HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless. Now I cannot print CD inserts; the driver says the printer is offline. However, I can then successfully print a Word document, for example, without making any changes.

Hi there,
On the IOS system, if you have e-print installed you have two options for printing wirelessly - through e-Print or AirPrint.
To print from AirPrint (which comes pre-installed on apple devices) , you take the route that you have outlined - if no wireless printer is found then there has been a problem during setup that you should be able to fix with the help of the AirPrint troubleshhoting steps below:
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-topics/mobile-printing/mobile-print-help-iphone-ipad.html
If the e-Print app is installed you also have the option to print using the e-Print app. The route to printing here involves opening the appa nd selecting the content that you want to print. You'll still need to be able to find your wireless printer so if you have any issues, the troubleshooting guide below shoudl help:

HP Officejet Pro 8000 wireless wont print with iPhone 5s

This printer billed as Wireless that I purchased in 2011 wont print with IPhone or iPad because it is not on list of Air Print devices So I was told by HP to buy a new one and since it wasnt equipped with HP's "eprint" the app thats out there to make up for this will not work. I was speaking to sales person to avoid paying but I cant believe this. There are better printers but that doesnt make this a throw away. and who wants to buy a wireless printer that wont print wirelessly? Help!

Hi there Hank,
Sorry to hear you're having a rough go with the printer.
As for the 8000 wireless, I would guess that you got a newbie tech rep on the phone. I couldn't figure out why they said there's no workaround, because I had been able to get older printers going with HP troubleshooting documents. So here are a few that might help:
1. Install the printer on your network (if it isn't already) Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection
2. Download the HP E-Print Mobile App for iOS. It should still work with non- eprint printers: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/hp-eprint/id299531647?mt=8
3. Take a glance at this tutorial video, for some quick tips on getting started: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1z1pSC8WHI
Hope this helps

Multiple problems: OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless

We bought an HP OfficeJet Pro Wireless for our two Macs and it's been a nightmare. I've searched help guides and forums and am hoping you can help me fix the problems.
It takes 10 minutes to start up the printer each time. There is a lot whirring and noises coming.
Once it's finally, finally on it always can't print. I then usually have to reinstall the software from the CD using the USB cable and not wireless to get it to work, which it will then do exactly one time before I next need to use the printer, turn it on and have it refuse to print.
I have tried every configuration I can think of to no avail.
Currently I have just turned it on and I have a message saying that the printer is low on ink and cannot print. I have used this printer exactly 5 times and there is no way it's out of ink.
I apologise if I sound petulant, I've just never had such problems with any equipment and am worried we've made a very bad investment. I would truly appreciate any advice anyone can give.
Our set up is:
Mac laptop and desktop, both running Leopard
Wireless connection via BT Homehub router
OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless
Thank you very much! -Rachel

I understand your frustration. Here are a few tips:
1. Don't turn your printer off. If you HAVE to turn it off, don't do it with a power strip or by unplugging the cord. Your printer will use ink (and quite a bit of it) to start up every time you turn it on. This is especially true if the printer did not have power during its time powered-off. You will bleed your ink cartridges dry very quickly this way. All the whirring you hear is the sound of sucking ink through the nozzles to clean them.
2. Set a static IP address for your printer. Pick a number outside the range 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.237 that your HomeHub uses to issue dynamic IP addresses. 192.168.1.50 is a nice round number. Here is how you do it:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- Click the Manual IP button and enter:
192.168.1.50 for the IP address
255.255.255.0 for the subnet
Leave the gateway and DNS blank
- Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
Delete and re-add the printer in the print queue:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Select the printer in question and click the minus sign at the bottom of the list
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If this does not work, do the same thing, only instead of the second step, right (control) click the print queue area and select Reset Printing System.
