Hello

First of all, you need a wireless router to use wireless LAN.
I put t know what internet equipment you use but I have connected my router wireless modem broadband.
Detailed instructions should be supplied with the router.
Well, you also need the minPCI wireless card or a USB wireless or a PCMCIA wireless card to connect to the wireless router.

    Hello

    If the wireless network adapter is properly installed if you have not configured you.
    I put t know which devices in broadband services, you want to say but generally if you want to communicate or transfer files between laptops through the WiFi network so all the computers must be in the same domain or workgroup.

    I can't give you a correct answer, but only a suggestion. I have red that sometimes a lower potency could be responsible for this show. Try turning off the safe power option in the properties of the hub USB root in Device Manager.

  • Satellite Pro U400 (XP pro) cannot connect to the wireless network

    I got a U400 straight out of the box. I installed XP pro through the disc of recovery without any problem, except that I am not able to connect to the Wi-Fi here. (Other devices connect very well so the problem is at the end of the laptop) I tried to update via windows update (SP3) via a wired LAN connection but still the same problem. Other posts here have any suggestions for downloading new drivers from realtek. All of the solutions presented do not work for me. Anything else I can try?

    I am able to see all the wireless networks that are available in the range and may try to connect (provide the WPA password) but after watching the "preparation to connect" screen for a while he seems to abandon without reporting any error

    Hi guys

    First check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS.
    Second, clear all options of the router WLan security (filtering by MAC address, Firewall, encryption of WLan, etc.) and try to establish the WiFi connection.

    If you're going to succeed the problem is certainly related to the encryption settings
    Step by step, activate the settings and set up the router again.

    Good luck

  • Problems connecting to the internet using the wireless network connection

    I can't connect to the internet using my wireless network connection. I had made the diagnosis and he stated that "the DHCP is not enabled for the wireless network connection. I had checked the DHCP, but it has been activated!... Someone would give any suggestion for me to solve the problem?

    Open the run command box by pressing Windows key + R, type services.msc and press enter . Search The Client DHCP and check if it is enabled or disabled. If disabled then turn it on and see if the problem still persists or not.

    Open the run command box by pressing Windows key + R, type cmd , and press enter . At the command prompt, type ipconfig/all and press ENTER. Now, check the IP address, default gateway, DNS etc. If you find all the information is correct, but you cannot yet access the Internet so if you connect the wireless network is secure or not. To determine the glance to the wireless network icon in the taskbar, then click on it. It will show you the available wireless networks. If there is a "yellow shield" present on the network icon, the network is not guaranteed, if there is no "yellow shield" does while the network is secure. In a secure network, you might have a "network security key. In this case try to disable the 'Network security key' option for this network. To do this:

    Open Control Panel , click network and Internet , click network and sharing Center , click manage wireless networks on the left.

    In the list select the wireless network and do a right click, select Properties, Security disable tab all options that is, in security type do not select no authentication (Open) and to the type of encryption , select none . You can also activate the automatic connection and SSID settings to further enhance connectivity, on the connection tab, click to select the "connect automatically if this network is in range " and "check boxesto connect even if the network is broadcasting his name (SSID) .

    For more information click here and see how you can determine whether a network is secure or not.

    If the problem still persists, then check your firewall settings and make sure that the firewall is not blocking your Internet connection. Some software Antivirus has a built-in firewall and they block by default all unknown connection to the tightening of security.

    Try to restore Windows Firewall default settings. Open Control Panel click on network and Internet , click system and security , click Windows Firewall , click default settings .

    Hope this will help. Thank you.

  • Cable connection part for good - once I started using the wireless NETWORK card!

    Hello

    I went although all people in support on this issue, but now I have no other choice than to ask all you people here!

    That is the problem. I have two computers with multiple network cards. One is a laptop computer with wireless Draft-N support and 10/100/1000 NIC onboard. The other is a desktop computer with an ASUS Wifi b/g edge and also dual GigE ports nVidia graphics card.

    Whenever I try to use network wired for internet or local network even cards use, it died on me. It is impossible to obtain an IP address from the router to use and is unable to communicate with anyone at all. Not even with my local network or even directly to the router (192.168.1.1). If I turn on the wireless card, it connects and everything is groovy (except that I lost my GigE connection to my local network, which is most important!).

    I havegone through the standard fare of cyclic power to the router and cable modem, reboot of my machines, etc. all the normal things, we are required to do.

    After some hassles with the support of Linksys to get them to send me a new WRT330N, I finally received a new WRT310N and it shows exactly the same problem! Wireless connections work fine, but as soon as I disable the WiFi and wired go, Windows XP gives me nothing else than a message "limited or no connectivity" and let me out of the network.

    This leads me to think it's some sort of network problem due to multiple MACs on the same host name. Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

    Thank you!

    Disable the firewall on the computer and then also try to connect the computer to the modem and check if the computer is able to connect.

    About 1/2 a year ago, I would generally lose my internet connection Wireless one or twice all the hours that I was using my laptop.  I kept having to "Reset Wireless Adapter.  A roommate using a different Dell laptop (not sure what model) had no problems with dropouts.  I lived with the problem b/c I mainly use my office.  Now, my office is having the same problem.

    How can I solve this "problem"?  I work from home and I can't have my connection drop-outs all the time.

    TIA!

  • Satellite 2450-201: cannot use TV option after the new installation of the OS

    Hello

    I have a laptop toshiba satellite 2450-201.
    I've always had the TV OUT works well with my TV, use the right cable SVIDEO.
    I was able to watch divx movies in my TV using my computer.

    I had to format the laptop and installed windows XP again.
    After that, I can't use more TV-OUT option, so that the image of the laptop could be seen on television, I've always had.
    After that I updated display drivers, but the problem remains.

    Can someone help me?
    Thank you

    Hello

    How do you reinstall the operating system? Have you used the recovery CD?
    Usually after the reinstallation of the operating system from the recovery CD, everything should work properly.
    It is important that you can switch to the TV. In this case, you can use FN + F5.
    If it's not working so I guess that for display devices hotkey utility works or was not installed. Well, the alternative is to pass on the TV via the graphic properties. The TV option, you should find somewhere in the advanced options.

    However, check it and check if you have installed all the drivers.

  • Satellite 2450-201: impossible to format SD card 4 GB card

    Hello

    IA´m an owner of Satellite 2450-201 and I have a big problem.
    I just bought a 4 GB SD memory card and Nice, it adapts to the side slot on my laptop.

    This is the first time using the memory card, so a needs-to-format window appears when I try to access.

    The window has the right information: 3.78 GB, Fat32,...

    I click 'OK' and informs the Windows (XP SP2): impossible to complete format (here is Portuguese, then it is translated into English)

    If the correct size is informed, 3.78 GB, why windows can't format it?

    My laptop is virus and spyware free (only 23 spots in the running and supervision), I have SP2, Bios (most recent) 1.50, SD my controller drivers is up to date (the last and the only one that was released in 2003).

    Also tried third party "Panasonic SDFormatter 2.0". He reports the (physical) unit or the mem SD stick is not compatible with the program. And the same effect occurs: the Sd device lost the nice icon and I need to remove/insert the SD card to see again the same story.

    Help me please, friends.

    Hello

    It of very strange that you re possible to see the plugin SD card. Some people suggested that this SD card supports only 256MB, 512 MB cards and more with no MMC support.

    I put t know if you have a format utility Toshiba SD card installed on the laptop, but on many notebooks of utility such Tosh is preinstalled and could be used for formatting of the card.

    According to some poster in this forum the Portege M400 utility format could handle 2 GB, but not sure about 4 GB SD cards.
    If possible, you can try to install this utility on your laptop, but you know you don't have much chance that it works.

    I think that in this case only an external SD card reader will help you.

  • Need new hinges to Satellite 2450-201

    Hello

    I think you should get in touch with a local ASP (partner).
    The ASP can help you order the right parts.

    Because this laptop is an oldie, I doubt that you get these pieces from an online retailer
    However, google may provide you with some offers if you are looking for unique part numbers

    In any case, all the possible parts could be ordered in service partner as I said above, for me, it looks like an easier way to get these parts.
