Satellite Pro 4600 and WiFi configuration problem

Got a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600, under WXP SP3. It s a P3 900 mhz with 256 RAM and it s a great laptop, but peut t seem to understand the Wi - Fi.
It captures my router ok sky open a Wi - Fi connection, but it s the config, when I put the WEP key it says it is not compatible with WEP, WPA only s.

I put the ssid for the router ok but it won t accept the key/passphrase in there it says s not long enough.
Could someone point me in the direction of a guide of idiots for this configuration?
Wi - Fi is built-in and it s a Toshiba mini PCI
Thank you

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

Good bye

  • Re: Satellite PRO 4600 and WLAN driver

    My old Satellite Pro 4600 connects with networks wireless unsecured very well but has a problem with WEP - Gets an error message immediately to connect command, never reaches the authentication dialog.

    I would try to update the drivers of wifi card, but where can I find them? This site does not recognize not my serial number.

    Can someone please?

    Thank you.

    This along with the serial number reorganization probably works with new laptops only.
    Go directly to the download section Toshiba > http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and under archive try to find your model of laptop and WLAN driver.

  • Satellite Pro C665 and internet connection problems

    Hi, will try and give as much information as I can, so sorry for the long post.

    I bought this new laptop in August is so very old, I connect to the internet with modem USB 3 G telstra and a cycle of 3 weeks he began to abandon the connection within 30 seconds approximately.
    The blue LED on the identification of the USB modem still flash, it has a connection, but I would get the yellow explanation mark on the icon of internet connection in the task bar.

    Now, the only way to recover the connection must close the connection of Telstra, unplug it, plug it back in and reconnect, a few times I have to reboot and will have to go through this routine 5 - 6 times and sometimes up to 10 attempts before I get a stable connection.

    So first I thought it might be the USB modem, so I got a replacement of telstra, but made no difference, then I had a replacement sim card and still no luck.

    Then I did a new install of Windows 7 and installed all the current updates, still no go.

    I then bought a wireless router to eliminate the USB connection and still have the same question.

    Sometimes it can be very frustrating trying to get a solid connection, but once it gets a good connection, it will stay connected for hours without any problem

    I'm not an expert with computers, but can usually find a solution to problems of software, I have, but that left me speechless and I think I've covered most of the region to address this.

    Thanks for your time.

    Unfortunately I can't say anything on Telstra 3 G USB modem. Toshiba doesn't support third party hardware, software and does not offer any kind of support.

    I put t know where you got this USB modem but I m wondering you didn't visit their store and test in functionality it bring your laptop with you. The people who work there could make inspection on site.

    I also put t know why you have this problem at home. Your router is not known to us, but is there a difference when using WLAN secure or unlocked and without password?

  • Satellite Pro U400 and fingerprint software problem

    Hello!
    Since a long time, my Fingerprint Software gave problems.
    About 2 days after receipt of the computer, I started to get an error message saying "Specified Database not found" or "Hardware not found footprints" (something similar to messages!)

    Because then I never really used it, but now, since the last update "Authentec", I thought that it can start working.
    The problem is, once I installed the update, I get an error saying "Remove old version, given to zero computer.
    So I did it, I removed the old TrueSuite Access Manager and restarted the computer.

    Once restarted, the Autentec Installer (new updated) started to install, but give me again the same error message 'remove old version, given to zero computer.

    I checked for the remains of the old software, but he found nothing.

    I won't be formatting my computer to do this, is there another way I can fix this?
    Thank you

    Hello

    I think the update found garbage in the registry and I think that after the Truesuite software has been removed, you must clean the operating system using the CCLeaner.
    After cleaning the operating system and the registry, you must restart the laptop before you repeat the update procedure.

    Maybe you should also install a newer version of Toshiba page before starting the update.

  • 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.
    > - no matter switch you on or off! So that the
    > service provided that said probably the

    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.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 WiFi not detected

    Hello
    As I am new to using the WiFi, can someone help me please?

    Our office has a Wifi environment. Passed on the WiFi system on the left side of the computer.
    From what I hear the computer should then register automatically. Nothing happens. Should I change all the settings in my computer? In Windows 2000 Help.

    Like the WiFi system should also be automatically used when you walk into some of the points of sale restore quick/coffee I wonder where it hurts.
    Looking forward to your advice.
    Thanks / Peter

    Hello

    as a first step, you should check if your Satellite Pro 4600 has a built in Wifi card. Here, you have to look in the device manager - network and search for a Wifi card because some of the 4600 PS were only sold with a praparation of Wifi!

    There you can also see if any problems with the place a hard ware.

    Then check your network settings for the Wifi card. Go to your network administrator and ask your network settings.

  • 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.

    GMC

    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 battery recognition problem

    Hi all

    I have a strange problem with my Satellite pro 4600 (SP460E-03371-G3) laptop. I have the battery with the AC adapter unplugged, but the battery indicator turns on (no green, not orange). And the laptop does not start when I push the power button. It's like when the battery is discharged. When I plug in the power adapter, AC power light turns green, Notepad starts OK. And cams CIHI surprise: when I plug the AC everything works perfectly on battery power, but still no sign of the green or orange battery indicator. If I check the power state in Windows XP, the system indicates that the laptop works on current alternative, but the AC is disconnected. Why is this?

    Thank you
    Akos Monostori

    Hello Ákos

    I'm sure that there are defects of electronic power to your laptop. As you can see electronic is confused and the battery is not recognized correctly.

    In my opinion, you should contact the Service of your country partner and ask them what is the best way to solve this problem.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 very unstable and BSOD

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro 4600 c750/128 with xp installed.
    It was ok, but slow, so I've updated at 500 MB of memory.

    He now became unstable under windows and throw a screen blue after awhile, which is a related, but firm and we will restart until I have a chance to read the error message.

    I tested the new memory from one day to the next with memtest and run 4 passes all tests without error, about 9 hours of operation (on the back).

    The event log indicates a discharge, but this does not mean a lot to me.
    The event log has an error during startup, what was there before the memory upgrade.
    Googling Sugest a fix to update the bios, it's always available for this laptop bios?

    The BIOS should be available for this former Satellite Pro 4600.
    The BIOS and drivers must be placed on the page of European driver of Toshiba.
    Here, you will need to search the Archives!

    But I doubt that the error is caused by the BIOS.
    Is the laptop ran stable also with the previous BIOS and it foolish to update the BIOS to fix this problem.
    I'm sure it won't change anything!

    Upgrade the RAM and BSOD appears now.
    I think that the problem is related to the RAM, even if the ram test didn't find any errors
    The RAM may be not compatible also if no error has been detected.

    I recommend that you test the laptop without the new RAM and check if the BSOD will appear again.
