Problems connecting to a Satellite Pro 4600 for network wireless home

Hello
My computer has a processor Athlon 64 x 2 4200 + and 2 GB of RAM, with XP2 Pro. I have a Linksys WRT54GS broadband router and connected with Virgin Media.

My daughter gave me an old laptop a Satellite Pro 4600 with a 747 MHz Celeron processor, 384 MB of RAM and XP2 Pro has an Intel Pro/100 VE Network adapter. I set up a Linksys Wireless - G Notebook Adapter with SRX (model No. WPC45GX), so that I could use around the House. However when I try to connect to the home network, although he "finds" a list of networks, I am unable to connect and get an error message - "Windows cannot connect to the selected network (my home network). The network can be is no longer in range. Please refresh the list of available
networks and try again. »

I tried to connect with laptop computer in the same room as the router, but get the same message. In the Manager of peripheral devices, network cards, the two are shown and both work properly, but in the taskbar there is a red cross shown on the two icons, they say that a network cable is unplugged, but I don't have a cable network.
The other tells me that the wireless is not connected.

I presume that the adapter works as it can 'see' wireless networks, I used Lynksys support to verify that all router and adapter settings are correct.
My wife has a new laptop and is able to connect to the home network with no problems.

Please can someone offer advice or assistance.

for some reason, you need to turn off your wired connection (cable) and use the client of the PCMCIA wireless network card. Maybe just the problem that your system can not separate the two network connections and gets an error it s. You should also visit the site Web of Linksys and download the latest driver and the customer for the card, so you can make sure that the software is up to date.

Another good idea would be to visit www.microsoft.com and the support center for any 'knowledge base documents' which could probably solve the problem.
As your machine is really old and no one is using PCMCIA cards more, you may wait a long time for an answer in this forum. Maybe you should check the site from linksys for a support section. Maybe they could help you...

  • Satellite Pro 4600: beep when the headphones are connected

    Greetings to everyone.

    I feel a strange audio problem with my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 headphone output port. Whenever headphones are used, bursts of low beep occur regularly every 3 seconds or so superimposed on what playing right now. Each burst lasts about one second and consists of about 8 fast beeps. The beeps occur after Windows starts and end once the system off. I thought that it was a driver issue, but I use the latest driver for my card, downloaded from the site Web of Toshiba (package name: s5105sndx.exe).

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you for your attention.

    This problem doesn't appear if the headphone is plugged or also with the speakers if the headphones are disconnected?

    If this happens only if the headphone is connected if there is something wrong with the headphone jack.

    Hey everybody,

    When I connect my Tohsiba Satellite Pro 4600 via map of build-in network without WEP wireless to an AP, there is no problem, connection is establische and everything works fine.
    When I use WEP, I can't do any connection more.
    Is there a solution to use encryption WEP 128 bit on a portable Thosiba Pro 4600 with build-in WIFI network.

    Thanks in advance

    What card WLan do you use?

    As far as I know the laptop must be equipped with LAN Wireless / WiFi Standard: 802. 11B ORiNOCO Mini PCI card.
    This card supports WEP 64 or 128 RC4 security.

    Everything looks like you WLan card doesn't support the same standards of security as your WLan router. You must understand that this WLan card is an oldie about 7 years.

    I think that the best solution is to use external USB WLAN which support the latest encryption standards

  • Satellite Pro 4600: question strange memory - memory seems

    Hi all

    for the second time in 18 months, I have strange problems with cards of memory (2 x 256 MB 144-Dimm PC133) of my satellite pro 4600: from one day to the other, the memory seems to reach "grilled" as the old light bulbs. Before that I used the satellite pro 4600 for several hours and the surface on the maps of memory had very hot.
    Y at - it anyone out there facing the same problems? On the replacement: should I better go for chips PC100 PC133 instead?

    Thanks in advance: Bernie

    Hello

    The fact is that recommend Toshiba using these memory modules:
    PA3003U - 1 M 03 32MB MEMORY KIT
    PA3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB MEMORY KIT
    PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB MEMORY KIT
    KIT MEMORY OF 256 MB PA3069U - 1 M 25

    It seems that PA3069U - 1 M 25 256 MB PC100 module.
    Well, as you have suggested that memory cards got very hot. In my opinion the fastest PC133 produce a high temperature, and this could be a problem.

    Hello

    As Akuma suggested you should ensure that you are using the latest driver WLAN on Toshiba website for your laptop.
    I founded your model on Toshiba Canada website: http://support.toshiba.ca

    Your network configuration is not kwon to me, but you should check the TCP/IP settings. If you have DHCP do you get an IP address from the router? You can check this in the start menu > run > cmd > ipconfig/all

    If you use a 3rd party firewall, you must disable.

  • WLAN for Satellite Pro 4600

    Hello

    I installed the recovery disk (Windows 2000) for my Satellite Pro 4600 but WIFI could not be started.
    The software "Toshiba Wireless LAN Client Manager" says that there is no wireless network card-driver.
    I do not see a "Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card", only a "Intel (r) PRO/100VE Network Connection" to the hardware Manager card. But there is also a "PCMCIA UNKNOWN_MANUFACTURER" - device. The WLAN driver does not fit.
    The Notebookhardware has not been changed then what is it?

    Please help me fix this problem.

    Thank you
    Stefan

    Hello

    If you use original recovery CD for the installation of the OS (SP4600 only) all hardware components must be installed correctly. Before we do that any external devices should be deleted (USB keys, printer or PCMCIA card). If the wireless card is displayed correctly under NICs without yellow exclamation, I guess that the wireless network card is installed correctly.

    Driver Toshiba designed for WLAN should be used for INTEL adapters. I really can't understand why you use the same driver for the PCMCIA unknown device.

    In my opinion, you should check the download from Toshiba site and try reinstalling the chipset utility. Please don t forget to disable the WLAN Windows option if you want to use the WLAN client.

  • Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 problems

    Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 is usually a large equipment once it works! I have bought in December 2001 + additional 2 year warranty. Used every day for a business purpose - mainly on a desk anchored to the Port Replicator or inside-out of the office with WiFi.

    Almost after a year I bought it - one of the memory locations died on the motherboard! A machine still worked OK - only on a slot with installed memory capacity! So the 256 MB of memory and motherboard have been replaced by September 2002.

    Then the hard drive was noise - has been replaced as a guarantee somewhere in October 2004. So I thought that it is her - I have now a few years without problem again!

    Yes - all of a sudden a few days ago, I closed the lid for a coffee brake and after that the machine woke up to a strange sleep - the screen flickered and a machine was muzzy! Like the previous night failures that occurred before that I thought that this restart will solve the problem! It s woke up without the support of the voice! And after that I discovered that the WiFi card is always on - no matter if you switch the button on or off! If the service said that probably the motherboard has not once again!

    So, which brand and model to buy then?

    > And after that I discovered that the WiFi card is always enabled.

    same thing with my nine M30 I bought last summer. I can't be able to turn off the WiFi keyboard functionality. the light is still on too.

    Hello

    For me the case sounds very clear;
    You can't put the encryption key just because the WEP key is not compatible / supported.

    I think you should use encryption that is supported by both parties; router and wireless network card
