USB ADSL Modem fails to install on Equium P200-1ED

I have a Toshiba Equium P200-1ED; Model Number# PSPB5E-003004KS.
I wish to use my Thomson SpeedTouch 330 - a USB bus powered USB ADSL modem - to my Toshiba Equium P200-1ED and have downloaded Release 4.1 of the Windows Vista driver from this web-page:
http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=471
... however when the Vista modem driver is executed, the software fails to recognise the Thomson SpeedTouch 330 ADSL modem when the driver software prompts me to connect the modem.
The Thomson SpeedTouch 330 ADSL modem works perfectly when used with my old Toshiba/XP laptop (which was how I downloaded the Vista driver for the modem for the Equium).
What is wrong?

Problem Solved!
Un-installing all USB modem device drivers, disconnecting all USB devices and removing all USB host controllers and hubs from the Vista device manager and then rebooting the notebook MADE NO DIFFERENCE.
However when I received the new Thomson SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem drivers on CD-ROM from the manufacturer the modem installed immediately.
I can only assume that there is a problem with the download of Release 4.1 of the Windows Vista driver for the SpeedTouch 330 from this web-page:
http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=471
... as the drivers on the CD-ROM from Thomson work - but their web download of the driver for the SpeedTouch does not.
The problem was with the driver for Windows Vista - the laptop and modem now work correctly - as they should have done at the first installation attempt!
Thanks for your help.

  • USB ADSL Modem Driver for Huawei MT841 for Solaris Express

    Hello Everyone
    After initial hiccups of installing Solaris Express in a multiboot system and partition mania,i finally installed Solaris Express on my system.First i installed Developer Edition and upgraded it to Express thinking that Developer Edition doesnt have networking capabilities.
    All said and done now i'm unable to access the internet.I'm using Broadband USB ADSL Modem from Huawei,type MT841 with four ethernet ports and one USB port.I dont have ethernet card so i use USB port to connect.
    The thing is the modem cd doesnt have a driver for Solaris,but for linux it does.
    Where can i find the driver for ADSL modem and how to install it,if i find it?
    Is there any alternate way?Expecting a reply(because my last post about multiboot didnt)
    Thanks in advance

  • Networking with USB ADSL modem (and AOL)

    hi there,
    just purchased first mac (macbook), and want to get it online.
    i have a windows desktop connected to AOL with a USB ADSL modem, and would like my Macbook to be able to be wirelessly connected to the internet.
    I understand that having AOL and a USB modem can be problematic in setting up a wireless network.
    Can anybody offer me any help, i.e what routers to buy and how to set it up? or even just link me to a similar topic?
    thanks very much in advance.
    Macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1.83 Ghz, 80Gb, 1Gb mem

    Hi andwhy
    as Duane suggest you need to replace the usb modem.
    You can get a wireless adsl router for about £50.
    USB modem cann be networked unless you use your pc as a gateway. This would involve install router software on the pc, then you would need to get a wireless access point connected to the pc.
    So it is much simpler and more cost effective to use a wireless ADSL router.
    I would check out the adsl routers you can get from http://www.solwise.co.uk

  • Tiger Upgrade - No recognition of USB ADSL Modem

    After upgrading to Tiger I had some problems with my internal hard drive (discussed elsewhere). As a safety measure I decided to make my external drive a boot drive and successfully installed Tiger. During installation I used the option to transfer all of the files and settings etc from my original boot drive and everything appears to have been transferred correctly except that the USB ADSL modem no longer synchronises (only the power light is illuminated on the modem, no DSL light) nor is recognised by 'Internet connect' or the System Preferences 'Network' settings. These show only the internal dial up modem and offer as alternatives only firewire or ethernet (not USB). On inspection, all of the relevant files appear to exist on my external drive (ie seems to be an exact copy of my internal drive) but I cannot connect to the internet. When I restart using my internal boot drive, everything is back to normal and I am immediately able to connect to the internet. I want to erase my internal drive to clear its problems and reinstall Tiger etc, but don't dare to do so until my external drive is functioning properly (including the internet connection). Any ideas?

    Allan,
    Many thanks for your help. I did not specifically upgrade the modem driver, but there is not a problem with my internal (normal) boot drive, so the driver seems to be okay. The only problem is that, even though I seem to have an identical set of software on my external boot drive, I cannot get to synchronise the modem (no DSL light) when running on the external drive.
    However, all this will cease to be a problem once I connect my new router using ethernet. Unfortunately, I do not have any instructions on connecting using ethernet and have not used ethernet before. I uderstand that it is important to do things in the correct sequence, but do not know what that sequence is. I do know the connection code and password for my current ISP, but as they are not the suppliers of the router, they may not be able to guide me on the connection sequence. Are you able to help?

  • Powerbook had to shut down?! [USB ADSL Modem] .

    Hey,
    My Powerbook just arrived today so I decided to try and surf on the net, so I could update my software and other stuff. But I'm having trouble with the preferences for the USB ADSL programn and after I've tried multiple times to connect to the Internet.. I had enough and I pulled the USB (of the modem) out of my laptop. When I do that with my desktop pc (Windows XP) there's no problem at all... My computer just displays that the modem is disconnected, but my Powerbook on the other hand... Stopped working and showed a dark grey box which said (in 4 languages): "You have to restart your laptop now. You can do this etc etc... "
    Does anyone know why my Powerbook has to restart when I unplug the modem USB and if it's bad for my Powerbook?! Since I'm new to mac and I don't want to demolish my Powerbook right away....
    And if anyone has tips for connecting a USB ADSL modem to my Powerbook... They're welcome
    Powerbook 15" 1.67 Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    USB modems do not work with Macs. Get an modem with ethernet. What you experienced is a kernel panic as explained here.

  • 10.3.7 USB ADSL Modem blues

    Hi
    I have a SpeedTouch USB ADSL modem that works beautifully under OS 9, but - in spite of downloading the OS X drivers - I can't get the darn thing to connect under OS X...any ideas?
    The modem seems happy (all lights up and steady) so the prob seems to be with the mac connecting to my ISP's server...it uses a PPP server connection, so username and pass plus the ini strings are all the info I have...
    HELP!

    Just to add my 2 cent's to ADSL Nations excellent advise.
    For whatever reason $$$ Many of the UK and Europe Internet Service Providers opt to use USB Modems and as already stated they are and can be a nightmare.
    I suggest you 1st get in touch with your Internet Service Provider and see if the will furnish you with a Ethernet ADSL Modem.
    If not they are readily available from just about any computer store.
    I do suggest you spend a little extra and go for a Multi-port and if you have the need you can also go for a combined Wireless Modem Router.
    Hope this helps

  • Conecting to bt broadband with a USB ADSL Modem :s

    Hi! I really know nothing about computers so would be very grateful for some help
    My grandma recently bought me a iBook G4 to take to uni with me. I have never used any kind of mac until now so have spent the last few months getting used to it. However, I am still having trouble conecting to the internet. We have a pc at home which uses broadband (a bt voyager 105, USB ADSL modem box thingy) and I have been trying to get my iBook to connect using this but it just doesnt seem to want to work at all! The iBook doesnt seem to realise that the broadband box thingy is plugged in although it is powering the BT modem box, its all very confusing to me. I have tried using the Network Setup Assistant but its got me no where.
    I dont know if they are compatible or not or wether I need to get a different connection device or what! Any advice/help would be much appreciated
    Many thanks, Amy

  • Equium P200-1ED Installing Windows XP Problem - SATA Drivers

    I have just bought a Toshiba Equium P200-1ED laptop with Vista installed and want to install my copy of Windows XP Pro. This is the latest disc with SP2 included.
    When I boot up it does not recognise the hard drive. I assume I need to download these drivers and load them onto a floppy and hit F6 when the windows setup screen prompts me to do so.
    Questions are;
    1) Where can I get these drivers from?
    2) Will the machine recognise a USB floppy Drive?
    3) Am I right about what I need to do?
    Thanks in advance for your help. :8}

    How to install XP Home on the following Vista laptop. 05/01/08
    Toshiba Equium A200-1V0 PSAF5E
    Introduction
    These are the steps taken by us to remove Vista from our Toshiba laptop and replace it with XP Home. There may be inconsistencies in our methods and we may not have all of the exact drivers installed, but everything appears to work OK for us.
    Our laptop now runs much faster, opens and closes faster and is more stable.
    This is not a 5 minute operation. It should not be attempted by anyone with only a passing knowledge of computers as it is very easy to screw things up. The shop you bought your PC from will charge a lot to fix things and they will probably insist on re-installing Vista!!.
    Be prepared that this will also probably invalidate your warranty.
    Luckily, I have a 2nd PC running XP that allows me to access the web. This is very useful as it means that while your Vista machine is 'broken' you can still search for help and download driver files. I also used my 2nd PC to create the modified XP installation CD mentioned further on.
    You must have access to the web via some PC or other to get the required drivers.
    Method
    Firstly, while you still have Vista on your laptop machine, download and run an interrogation program such as 'Belarc advisor' which will list all the drivers and software that are installed on your laptop. Print it out for future reference.This may be useful later when searching on the web for any drivers that may need updating.
    Now, make sure you have noted down all the required settings for your Internet connection.
    Also, backup any files that you may have placed on the hard drive as you will lose the lot including any emails and address books and web favourites etc.
    Unfortunately, the Toshiba disc that comes with this laptop does not appear to have any of the required drivers with it. Instead, I think that it relies on Vista keeping copies on your hard drive. This is not very bright as when the hard drive fails you have lost everything!
    This therefore means that you have to go on the web and search for all the required drivers to run XP successfully.
    Some we could not find, for example the Wireless network adapter, however this was no problem as once we had installed XP and connected to the web via the Ethernet cable to our Router we were able to run 'Update Driver' for each item missing.
    Go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
    The ones we did this way were: Wireless adapter, Audio adapter.
    Unfortunately an original XP SP2 CD does not contain the required drivers for this laptop. Therefore when you boot the CD it will, after a few minutes of installing files, say that you have a hardware problem as there are no drives present.
    To rectify this, you will need to download the correct Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller drivers. I couldn't find this on the Intel website, but instead searched on Google for it. and got it from: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2101
    The other required drivers that we found on the web were:
    Intel chipset device software installer
    Web page
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=816&DwnldID=14528 &strOSs=45&OSFullName=Windows* XP Home Edition&lang=eng
    Or if this link doesn't work try this:
    http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-021273.htm
    Select 'Download Intel chipset software installation utility' on the left hand side and select your operating system 'XP Home'
    Select 'INF Update Utility - primarily for Intel 3, 900 series chipsets'
    and download it.
    Intel graphics driver: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset
    Web page
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=2800&DwnldID=1438 8&strOSs=45&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Home%20Edit ion&lang=eng
    Or if this link doesn't work try this:
    http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/
    Now select 'software and drivers' on the left hand side and select your operating system 'XP Home'
    You will be presented with a list of files.
    Select Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows* XP (exe)
    and download it.
    Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
    Web page
    http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=175
    Or if this link doesn't work try this:
    http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do?reload=false
    On the right hand side, select 'W2000/ XP/2003/Vista x86 & x64 Multi-Language Installer (32-bit and 64-bit) for Yukon Devices'
    Creating the XP Drivers disc
    Add the SATA drivers to a copy of your XP install CD using a program such as NLite.
    You will need enough spare hard drive memory to take a copy of your XP install CD (approx 700MB).
    Run the program 'sp37005.exe' and it will install to your hard drive. Don't install to a floppy.
    Download 'NLite' from: http://www.nliteos.com/download.html
    When you run NLite it will probably say that you need to install '.net Framework', if so, quit NLite and go and find the program. This is a Microsoft program that you can find by searching on Google for the relevant page on the Microsoft website.
    Now place your XP install disc in your CD drive, if it autoruns, exit it.
    Then run Nlite and follow on screen instructions.
    The program will ask where your XP disc is then it will ask where you want to save the copy.
    On the 'Task selection' screen select 'Drivers' and 'Bootable ISO'. then press 'Next'.
    Now select 'Insert' then 'Multiple Driver folder' and go and find your downloaded SATA driver files. Now select 'All' and 'OK. The program will list the available SATA drivers. Only select the two that mention 'ICH8M'. Now press 'Next'. The screen will show the selected drivers. Press 'Next' again and then 'Yes' to the prompt, and then 'Next' when done
    You are now presented with the 'Bootable ISO' screen.
    Put a new burnable CD in your CD writer, wait for it to be recognised and exit any window that might pop up to allow you to install files
    Now, in Nlite, under 'Mode' select 'Direct Burn'
    Under 'Label' enter something like ' XP for Toshiba Equium A200' to identify the disc.
    Leave Advanced settings alone and now add in the other required drivers by clicking explore and copying them to the root directory of the temporary XP directory on your hard disc. It might be best to create a 'Drivers' folder in the root directory to make them easy to find later.
    Now click the 'Burn' button. Now follow the rest of the instructions to complete.
    You have now created an XP install disc which contains your required SATA drivers.
    -As you can tell, this is quite convuluted but avoids you having to buy a USB floppy drive and it provides a neat solution.
    Hasta La Vista!!
    Now you are ready to begin the cleansing process, if you are brave enough to continue....
    Firstly, re-boot your laptop and while booting press F12 to change the boot order so that the DVD/CD ROM is first. Alternatively use F2 and then change the Boot order from there.
    Now insert your new XP install disc in the DVD/CD drive and re-boot the PC, selecting boot from CD when prompted.
    The XP CD will now start copying files and eventually will display an options screen
    Select to install Windows.
    Then delete the C: hard drive partition (with Vista on)
    Delete the F drive partition used by Vista also.
    You will have to follow lots of warning prompts to delete the partitions.
    Now follow the instructions to create an NTFS partition on the C drive.
    Now install XP as instructed.
    Don't worry that the graphics are a bit chunky as once Windows has finished installing you can run the graphics driver you copied to the the XP CD to correct this.
    Run the three driver files:
    win2k_xp14311.exe Intel graphics driver
    infinst_autol.exe Intel chipset software installation utility'
    setup.exe Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
    Your graphics should now improve and you should now be able to connect to the web (after running the web setup wizard). But don't do this until you have installed your Antivirus and Firewall software.
    Now go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
    Hopefully, everything should now run OK.
    Now go and have a drink to celebrate!

  • Is the Equium P200-1ED capable of powering USB devices connected to it?

    (1) Possibly related to my previous question is anyone able to confirm whether the Toshiba Equium P200-1ED is able to power external devices connected to it via its USB ports?
    (2) Can all 6 USB ports be used to simultaneously power 6 external USB devices?
    What is wrong?
    Please advise.

    I presume you ask again for the advice related to this question:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=115026#115026
    From my knowledge all USB ports supports the USB standard and provides 500mA.
    But sometimes an USB device needs more as 500mA and then you will have to use an external power supply for the USB device.
    Sometimes its advisable to use an USB hub which supports an own power supply.
    > (2) Can all 6 USB ports be used to simultaneously power 6 external USB devices?
    As I said, possibly some 3rd external USB devices would need more as 500mA and in such case you should use an external power supply for the USB devices.

    Equium P200-1ED

    I have the same problem with my Lap Top, which is an Equium M40X-189. I have also been unable to find the driver, even using your helpful comments and link. The website is denying knowledge of any appropriate drivers for 'display' 'screen' 'graphic' 'video'. I'm also slightly struggling because my PC model also doesn't appear on the drop down list (presumably because it's too old).
    Any other thoughts or suggestions on how to find the appropriate driver? Many thanks

  • Gaming Issue on Equium P200-1ED

    Hello,
    I've been trying to use my Equium P200-1ED to play a few games and have encountered the same problem each time.
    Basically, the game will load, no problem, however, it loads into a small portion of the screen (right in the middle) making a few games (like Command and Conquer) quite difficult to play. I want to be able to play in Full Screen, can anyone help?
    I tried changing the resolution, but it didn't do much. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi, I am running Vista Home. I haven't done anything with it since I got it a year or so ago. Which drivers would need to be updated for it to work. just the two mentioned?

  • Equium P200-1ED: Windows randomly max & min and refusing to close

    I have an Equium P200-1ED which I biought recently and Vista keeps doing strange things with open windows.
    When trying to scroll a window, click a link or perform any action with a window then the window can randomly Maximize or minimize. Also when trying to close a window it will often just 'boing' at me for 3 or 4 times after clicking the 'X' and then close.
    This doesn't happen on my other vista machine so i am assuming its an issue with this one.

    I have managed to solve this problem.
    It is caused by the synaptics touch pad software that causes it.
    It is the tap zones that are much too large and interfere with operations you want to do. They seem to be set by default to change the size of the window.
    So if you move the cursor upto the top right and you finger is at the top right of the pad when you tap it instead of hitting the close button it tries to do whatever is assigned to top right.
    I've basically disabled the touch zones and it's behaving fine.

  • Equium P200-1ED - Question about possible 2nd HD and RAM

    Hi,
    I've got the Equium P200-1ED and in the manual (the page with the diagrams pointing out the features of the laptop) it mentions a second hard drive.
    I know my P200 doesnt have a second drive fitted so does that mean there is space to possibly fit a second drive?
    Also, is it true the max supported ram is 2GB?
    It would be nice to upgrade the Ram from the standard 2GB.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Well, the second HDD depends on the single model.
    The second HDD bay should be placed near to the first HDD bay.
    You could remove the cover which secures the second HDD and could check if the necessary controller is available on your notebook.
    Please note that the second HDD bay could be available but without the necessary HDD interface.
    Regarding the memory upgrade;
    If your notebook was equipped with the Intel 945PM/GM Express chipset or higher then you could update the memory up to 4GB. If the notebook was equipped with the Intel 943GML Express chipset then you can upgrade the memory up to 2GB.
    But note; The Windows 32bit system will recognize only the 3GB due to the Microsoft Windows 32bit OS limitation.
    Best regards
