Two years trying to get Toshiba Laptop Wireless Connection to work

I've been trying for the last two years to try and get the wireless connection on my Toshiba Laptop to work without much sucess. I did for a short time manage to establish an ad-hoc wireless connection from the Laptop to a Desktop and share the internet connection that way but then that stopped working.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-15L model no PSU45E-00J005EN. It's the one with the 12.1" screen and running Windows XP Pro sp3.
My Wireless switch on the front of the laptop is turned on. It is also enabled in the software FN F5 Wireless enabled, bluetooth disabled. I don't have Intel ProSet.
Previously when I managed to establish an ad-hoc connection that was using microsofts software. I had to manually enable the Wireless Zero Configuation (WZC) each time though as it always started disabled or stopped even if I set it to start automatically. It was a monumental PITA.
When I try and connect to the home ADSL Wireless Router (Belkin N150) using the Toshiba software I get the error message "another vendor's application is controlling the wireless adaptor".
I get this all the time even if I have disabled Microsofts Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC).
I was thinking Windows was still somehow controlling this even though I have disabled WZC so having read solutions in other posts I have tried going to...
contol panel -> network connections -> wireless connection -> properties -> wireless networks tab -> uncheck "Use Windows to configure...".
But unfortunately there is no "wireless networks tab" in there, all I have is the other two tabs. And since trying to use Toshibas software to establish the wireless connection using their Radar thing, now when I click into the wireless network connection it has the message "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software."
Can anyone on the forum or at Toshiba help please?
Thanks,
John

Two years? Sorry but I cannot believe it.
If everything is Ok and I mean if there is no hardware problem you dont need longer than two minutes for WLAN configuration.
At first you must be sure the WLAN card is installed properly (device manager).
WLAN card must also be enabled properly (switch > check FN+F8 > check ConfigFree tool).
When he WLAN card is enabled properly (check status in ConfigFree) scan the area using option RADAR in ConfigFree.
Can you find this option?
Can you scan the area?
Is some WLAN visible for your notebook?

Hi Christina, belated welcome to Apple Discussions if nobody said it already.
I've had some experiences with these new flash memory recording camcorders, and I'll give you a quick rundown of what I've learned. Many of them (JVC, Panasonic, etc.) tend to record in a .MOD file format, which is non-standard, proprietary, and unrecognizable by most software. I thought Canon was usually a little more standards-compliant, but it appears they also use this .MOD format in your specific camera model. There are likely a couple ways we can get around this though!
In order to play the files, you will likely need to change their file format (.MOD) to .AVI manually. You'll have to locate the files on your Mac, and then manually change the file names so that the file extension (after the period) is .AVI
At that point, a video player application such as http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html>VLC should play the files fine!
You should be able to transfer new video files from the camera to the Macbook Pro with no problems as well. Just plug in the camera to the computer via USB, and also make sure the camera is plugged in to charge. Once it's plugged in, open iMovie (came with the MBP, in the Applications folder) and the MBP should take care of the rest.
Let me know if you have any success with any of this!
FYI, the thread that I got some of the above information from is here:

I am trying to log onto my wireless connection but it keeps telling me I'm unable to locate any wireless network. I know there are several networks nearby. Is this a problem with my phone or my router?

I found a solution that has worked on both iPhone 4's I have that have had the same issues, and also including not being able to download updates in the App store.
Go to Settings > WiFi and turn it OFF.
Next go to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it OFF
Next go back to Settings > WiFi and turn it ON, (wait a few seconds for it to sync with your network)
Finally go back to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it ON.
I had the same issues on both my wife's phone, and my own, and it fixed it immediately without changing any proxy settings or reboots, (which I did try on my phone and did not work, but did not try on my wife's phone)
Hope this helps!

Email: "You could get a better wireless connection...

Hi All,
We've just received an email from BT that claims
"It doesn't look like you're getting the best wireless connection, so we'd like to help you make it better."
I've spoken with "Live Assistance" who claim that this email is about upgrading from home hub 3 to a new model. However I'm concerned that this email implies that BT are collecting information about the state of my internal private network, and then using this information to direct advertising at me.
I do not recall having explicitly authorised this collection, am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

I'm still on a Home Hub 2, and they haven't offered me a new one.
You are probably opted in to BT's general marketing spams, and they see an opportunity to lock you into a new contract with the offer of some new kit.

I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac.

I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac. I have installed the suggested driver and the program ControllerMate. The Mac sees the controller because it shows up and responds. The program ControllerMate also sees the controller and responds appropriately, but the game (Minecraft) doesn't. HAs anyone else cracked this nut or have advice?

Try using the resetting SMC procedure
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
You may have done something similar already, but do it precisely as described. You should disconnect ALL peripheral devices, except for Apple keyboard and mouse.
Also, when you plug it back in, if the iMac is currently plugged into an old (or overcrowded) power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to a wall outlet by itself.

You can also try to reset your network settings on the iPad. Go to Setings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

How do I get a laptop to connect to my HPDeskjet 4480 wirelessly on my home network?

HP Deskjet F4480
Toshiba Laptop, with Windows 7 64 bit
Dell PC with Windows XP Pro 32 bit
No error message
I had installed the printer wirelessly to the laptop, it worked well, for some reason it now stopped working. I removed it from the laptop and reinstalled it, but it now will not print. the laptop is connected to our home network wirelessly. That works perfectly.

Hello RichBH,
Just to be sure I understand the issue, the printer is connected by USB to the Dell PC, and you want to print over the network from your Toshiba laptop?

Trying to get on the wireless with old G5

Hi,
I have one of the first G5's and have been on the internet using a ethernet cable to my
Airport Extreme.
I bought a new computer and like to put the old G5 in another place of the house.
Can anybody tell me how I can get on the wireless with this computer?
Can I use an Airport Express and plug it into the ethernet port or do I need more stuff?
Thanks
John

Hi John,
Unless you can or wish to have an appropriate Apple wireless card installed, it ought to be possible to use the latest 802.11n (draft) AirPort Express as a wireless client the way that you have in mind (see the ProxySTA part of this article).
Otherwise, a dedicated wireless Ethernet bridge (such as Belkin F5D7330, D-Link DWL-G810, D-Link DWL-G820, Linksys WET54G, Linksys WGA600N or Netgear WGE111) could be an alternative. WPA security may or may not be supported (with or without a firmware update), so check the specifications.

Trying to get a Trigger and Alert to work

So im trying to get a trigger to work with an alert and the Alert seems to be right and the trigger complies which seems right to me, however the instruction that I have in my book does not produce the same output that I get from my Update.
Here is the deal. I am to log into sql * with a default account as well as login as "SYSTEM"
the trigger should invoke the Alert and output a message to re-order some more product and the status should = 0 since there is no wait time. However I don't get a "Message" from the Alert and the status = 1 which indicates timeout. So if you can take a look at my code and let me know what I did wrong or how to "Connect" the two that would be great.
Trigger I created.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER order_replace_trg
AFtER UPDATE OF stock on bb_product
FOR EACH ROW
WHEN (OLD.stock = 24 AND NEW.stock = -2)
DECLARE
stock NUMBER(5,1);
idproduct NUMBER(2);
lv_msg_txt VARCHAR2(25);
lv_status_num NUMBER(1);
reorder NUMBER(3);
BEGIN
IF stock <> 24 AND reorder = 25 THEN
lv_msg_txt := 'Product 4 Reorder Time!';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(lv_msg_txt);
ELSE
lv_status_num := 0;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(lv_status_num);
END IF;
END;
The Alert:
BEGIN
DBMS_ALERT.REGISTER('reorder');
END;
DECLARE
lv_msg_txt VARCHAR2(25);
lv_status_num NUMBER(1);
BEGIN
DBMS_ALERT.WAITONE('reorder', lv_msg_txt, lv_status_num, 120);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Alert: ' ||lv_msg_txt);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Status: ' ||lv_status_num);
END;
Here is the block I need to run to test the trigger and alert.
UPDATE bb_product
SET stock = stock -2
WHERE idproduct = 4;
COMMIT;
The message I should get is:
Alert: Product 4 Reorder Time!
Status: 0
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
This is what I get.
SQL> /
Alert:
Status: 1
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Thanks for your help!

Right. Register says "I'm interested in getting alerted to some particular event", Waitone says "I'm waiting until some event happens". Signal is the key thing that indicates that a particular event happened.
As for your trigger, a couple of issues
- I don't know why you're calling DBMS_OUTPUT. I'm guessing that you probably want to send a message along with your alert that the receiver gets and displays, not that you want to print a message to the window from inside the trigger.
- You're using the local variables stock and reorder in your IF statement but you never initialize them. I'm guessing that you would want to eliminate those local variables and just use :new.stock and :new.reorder (assuming that REORDER is a column in the table).
- Your WHEN clause doesn't seem to make sense. It's telling the trigger to fire only if you update stock from 24 to -2, which doesn't make sense. I'm not sure you would even need a WHEN clause here.

[Help] [Laptop] Wireless connection setup

I am currently having trouble setting up wireless connections on a laptop using, of course, Arch. I have read almost all the wikis and am still having trouble doing this. Could someone explain the steps needed to do this? Oh and some side notes, I am doing this in virtual box now, but same laptop. Thanks.

Please read the Forum Etiquette on How to Post, notable the sections on post titles, and how to ask questions the smart way.
No-one here will spoonfeed you the steps you need (which depend on factors that you have not included in your post). Work your way through the wireless page on the Wiki and, if you encounter difficulties, post back with what you tried and any errors...

Trying to get my Xbox to connect.

My xbox live connection doesnt work. Im trying to access my wireless internet but everytime i do i get a test failed. The only way it seems to work is when i have a cord connected from the router to the actual xbox. Is there anyway i get get it to work with out it (WIRELESS). I have Att dsl and Cisco router. Thanks so much everyone in advance.

I also had trouble connecting with my XBox a few days.
Go to Administration / Factory Defaults and reset everything.
Reinstall the router and see if the Xbox connects.
What I noticed is that many tips on the Internet recommend creating an IP on the Xbox from 192.168.1.20 (or 30), make sure your router is configured to start from 100 (Start IP Address: 192.168.1.100)
Thanks,
