Satellite Pro A100 with Modem USB internet connection problems

Hi all

I'm looking for some help with a problem. I am struggling to solve. I have a Satellite Pro A100 and sometimes use it with a speedtouch 330 what ASDL USB connected modem, but whenever I use this at some point that I seem to lose connectivity, the Explorer does not display the pages and other applications stop working, even if I do not seem physically the connection loose. It is often the only to get back on the net to restart and start over.

The modem doesn't seem to be the problem as it works very well with my desktop and the laptop works very well when it is connected through wireless and idea and solution would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe you should take a look here in this thread:

There is a user who uses the same modem SpeedTouch 330 USB on laptop with Vista OS.

You will need to install compatible drivers on the site of modem manufacturer.

  • Satellite L35 (US) with Atheros AR5005G wireless connection problems

    I have a Toshiba L35 (Windows Media Center Operating System) with the software WiFi Atheros AR5005G. This machine was purchased in the United States.

    While in the United States the Wi - FI connection to a router (Linksys) using Windows to configure was instant without any problem.

    I am now in England and when I try to connect to a Modem/Router (3 com), use Windows to configure, connection is spasmodic with what makes a connection on every five attempts. Several times I have to use the repair connection device trying to connect. When it connects the connection is good. When you use the repair it shows unable to renew your IP address if it connects. On other occasions, I use the network connection Panel and 'disable' then 'activate' then most guarantees a connection.

    The laptop provides instant connection when you use a card PCMCIA WiFi with Windows to configure. While the card is inserted the s computer WiFi connect instant however when the card is removed and the computer restarted the same problems occur for a computer, free WiFi!

    Other laptops have no problems to connect to my Modem/Router. I am convinced that it is working properly.

    All regional/language settings in the control panel have been updated with the United Kingdom.

    No undates are available for the Atheros Driver or BIOS.

    Anyone can help identify the problem/possible settings to change?

    Hello

    Satellite L35 is a portable American designed for the American market. BIOS and drivers should be downloaded from the Toshiba site we and not on Toshiba Europe site.

    However, the error message Impossible to renew your IP address is known to me and my brother had the same problem with the Intel card. I just updated the WLan driver and used the Intel Proset utility for WLan configuration.

    I see that you have the Atheros card. The Atheros also provide an Atheros WLan client utility. Try to use instead of the clean Windows configuration.
    In addition, place check WLan card properties. You will find energy saving option. Please turn it off and check the Advanced tab

  • Satellite Pro A100 has "limited or no connectivity" & no connection to the local network

    Hello!

    I + really + hope someone might be able to help with this - been going slowly crazy.

    Bought my A100 18 months ago in Australia while I lived there and had no trouble to connect to LANs and others with my wireless. Everything was shipped over to me (here in London) last week and everything seems to have gone pear shaped. The House I live in has Wireless Broadband comes with our Sky Cable subscription, working on (I think - there is no real marking on the device) a router wireless Netgear A/G dual band (108 Mbps 802.11 b/g network). My laptop model is: SatellitePro A100 (part No.: PSAACE-007002EN) and it works on the following network hardware (drivers installed in brackets):

    1394 net adapter (5.1.2535.0)
    Intel(r) PRO/1000 PL Network Connection (9.2.24.0)
    Intel (R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (10.1.0.13)

    I used the Sky Broadband installation disc to set up the network, but every time I try to connect it tells me that I have "Limited or no connectivity" and will not let me online. I've been on the phone for Technical Support of sky for hours, trying to get this sort, but when I plug in the Ethernet cable to the laptop it will not even get to communicate directly with the router (i.e. put the IP address of the router in explore and view the settings of the router). My 'Connectivity Doctor' shows there is a problem with my wireless connection (which the network has not assigned a network address of the computer), but no problem with my ethernet connection and yet neither will allow me to get online and every time that I try to repair the wireless connection I get an error message saying that Windows could not renew the IP address.

    I have disabled the Bluetooth, reset the router I don't know how many times and made sure that all cards have been activated and crosses without bad red and yellow exclaimation in Device Manager. All network devices seem to be "working properly" (according to the properties of the device).

    After days of weeding through the proverbial haystack of resources online while at work, I think that the problem is either something very simple (i.e. a setting random advanced configuration). I read somewhere as you will need to 'install' the router on the system, and that is not "plug and play" as Sky Broadband seems to have deduced by phone... but I would have thought the installation CD has done this, as when I discovered my connections (when the Ethernet cable is plugged in), it recognizes the connection (it won't only ++ anything). If there is no specific process I need to follow in order to properly install the Netgear router (for which I am currently trying to see if there are appropriate drivers, I need to download), I'd appreciate a lot of the age of enlightenment! It could also be a question that I need to reset the network key in the security settings of the router, as there are already three computers in the House connected to the network... but of course I can not do without first sorting on why my laptop can still communicate with the router via the Ethernet connection.

    Points to note:
    -My laptop runs on Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 2
    -The disc to install Sky Broadband installed Internet Explorer 7. the last time I was online, I think that I was still using 6.

    If anyone could be of any use to solve this puzzle, you have earned yourself my eternal gratitude!

    -Danielle

    Hello

    I think that the solution should be simple;
    I presume that you TCP/IP settings are false. I mean that the settings should be set to automatically assign the IP address.

    Please check this box. Simply go to the network connections-> local network connections TCP/IP properties properties

    He put everything on automatic

  • Problem WiFi on Satellite Pro C660-2TQ - lose the internet connection

    Hey people,

    hope you could help me. I did a new clean install of Win7 (32 bit) on my Toshiba Sat, C660-2TQ.

    His job very well, except one thing:
    the adapter Realtek RTL8188CE-in my laptop is just terrible...

    I installed the latest driver for this Home Premium wifi, but I lose the conn. to the internet all the time.
    While I have to disconnect in the bottom right corner my laptop and connect again manually.
    I have to do this every minute or so and its very annoying.

    I saw read several discussions about the problems with this specific wifi adapter, but no solution has helped me...

    I didn't install all the listed drivers (34 available for me) but then what I Normand to update my BIOS or would it be a driver as the driver for the touchpad is necessary to get my wifi working properly?

    Hope you guys could help me...

    honestly desperate

    cordially :)

    Hello

    WiFi disconnection problems have different causes and its not easy to say why it happens.
    So, you will need to check each step and each option.

    First of all, you will get the latest version of the driver for this adapter WLan on the Realtek driver page:
    [Download driver Realtek RTL8188CE | http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=21&PFid=48&Level= 5 & Conn = 4 & DownTypeID = 3 & GetDown = false & downloads = EU tr]

    Would recommend that you do not install this driver.
    Before you begin with the installation, uninstall the previous driver.

    Secondly: it would be possible that this issue isn't related WLan driver and update the driver wouldn't help you much. In this case you should check the other parameters.
    I recommend you to check the router settings and test different standards WLan (802.11 B / G or N).

    In many cases, the problems of compatibility between the router and wireless network card could lead to similar to your question.
    Of course, you should also go to Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> Advanced tab
    and must check if you can switch between the WLan standards singles (802.11 B / G or N)
    Power management also in tab (last tab) you must unselect the option to turn off the device to save power.

  • Satellite Pro A100 driver Modem for Win XP (PSAAPE)

    I recently rebuilt an A100 (PSAAPE) with Windows XP (SP2) and after downloading all the drivers from the Toshiba site downloads, I installed everything goes well apart from the internal modem.

    When I run the Setup it seems to install OK but when I check the Device Manager there is always a PCI device that should install and this is certainly the modem as there is not currently installed modems. Can someone let me know how I can install the modem in this notebook I've tried everything I can think off.

    Thank you

    Martin.

    Hello

    Have you installed the drivers and tools in the correct order?
    Do it! It's important!

    On the Toshiba driver page, you will find the installation instructions.
    In order to follow this guide and I'm sure that everything will work!

  • Games with Satellite Pro A100

    Hello guys!

    Want to buy Satellite Pro A100 with ATI mobility radeon x 1600 with up to 512 MB of memory, hyper, and I want to know if I can play games like a 3D ' need for speed ', "doom3" or "cell support" if I buy it!

    Thank you!!!

    Hello

    You want to play high-performance games?
    Hmmm. The Satellite Pro A100 is a good laptop. BUT very powerful
    I wouldn't buy a laptop if I would have preferred to play hardcore games.

    Why
    1. the laptop hardware (CPU, GPU) must be cooled and play games like doom3 or cell support each device operating with maximum efficiency. This will produce one would be a lot of heat and the temperature rises. Drivers for laptop control devices and graphics driver for example would decrease the performance of the graphics card because of the high temperature. (low performance-> low temperature). In this case the game would also slowly or with lower performance

    2. second drawback of the laptop is the availability of the graphics driver update.
    Graphics drivers of manufacturing of the laptop are usually not the same as the graphics driver of the manufacturing of the graphics card. They are slightly modified and therefore, you can install and use only manufacturing the laptop drivers.
    And especially the graphics drivers are not updated. And you know that the graphics driver is the most important driver if you want to play games

    I recommend you build a desktop PC for gamer. I'll do it next time
    You know I'm not going to buy a PC completely, but I'm going to buy unique pieces and only with the best performance that rocks ;)

  • S-video on Satellite Pro A100 problem

    Hi, I recently bought a new satellite pro a100 with XP pre-installed-one of my main reasons to choose this as the price was the built-in s-video connector so I can get my screen up on my tv. However, I have not yet got it working and you'd be grateful for all the assistance.

    It is connected to my TV via a s-video cable, connected to an s-video/SCART adapter to work. Nothing is display on the screen and in the ATI displays the setting, control panel is the only option that is imparted to me. The other 2, including television are grayed out.

    Maybe something needs to be configured, but I have not found information of any use yet.

    Thank you

    Marcus

    Hello

    As far as I know avoid any problems if you want to connect the laptop to the TV. After connecting, please use the FN + F5 key combination and get on TV.

    It can happen that picture will be black and white, but it is because S-video in on television port is not enabled.

  • Satellite Pro A100: Mat * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi drive does not

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a carpet * a UJ - 841 s DVD Multi Drive.

    Recently, I decided that as my laptop is running slowly I wanted to format and reinstall XP Pro, I used a standard version of OEM XP Pro (not seller specfic) and he went on the formatting and the reconstruction of my laptop.

    Fortunately, I used Acronis True Image to backup my laptop before I did that my above mentioned dvd player is so more to bury properly (all the drivers and the necessary software has been installed). Before I formatted the laptop I could burn on + and - DVD (r, rw and ram) now that the laptop has been rebuilt, I can only burn to dvd-r/rw/ram.

    I restored from my laptop to the picture created by Acronis and can use the drive normally again to burn + and - DVD.

    Does anyone know why this would have stopped working in the new installation of Windows? I also tried to create a virtual machine using the same xp disc but it always gives me the problem of dvd player.

    Thank you

  • Maximum RAM and type for Satellite Pro A100

    Hello.

    I have already looked at my manual, but I can't get a definitive answer.

    I went to one of these computers, analysis of Web sites and it claims I have 2 SLOTS where I can put 1 GB DDR II PC2-4200 each (so 2048 MB of ram)
    (es http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Satellite%20Pro%20A100%20Seri) But according to CPU - Z, my laptop contains DDR II PC2-4300 512 MB

    But when I recorded from TOSHIBA Web site and entered the serial number of my cell phone, he told me that I had a Satellite Pro A100-196
    When I searched for Satellite Pro A100-196 on the internet, I came across a website (http://toshiba.icecat.biz/en/p/PSAACE-00E00DG3/Satellite%2520Pro%2520A100-196.htm) that says that 100-196 a module of DDR II (533 mhz) and that it can place additional modules up to 4096 MB (which means I can't that modules of RAM 2 GB each)

    So I would like to know if anyone knows the final RAM MAX (and type), I can place.

    Thank you.

    The Satellite Pro A100-196 appears to bear the 667 Mhz front bus!
    So, you can also use the modules of memory 667 Mhz (533 Mhz is also possible).

    I advise to use SODIMM 200 PIN DDR2 modules; 667 MHz (PC2-5300)

    You can upgrade the memory to 4 GB max. So it is certainly possible to use a 2 GB into a slot!

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro A100 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a FUJITSU MHV206OBH HD, he has been faithful and worked for at least three consecutive years, now my HD is filled with data from software etc. etc. I just changed the memory and upgraded to 2 Gygs and really the A100 is now as fast as my Dell XPS. I love my Satellite and want to install a new larger drive,
    Has anyone in the forum upgraded to a larger HD, advice, any recommendation of HD, where can I find the service manual for this.

    Best regards

    Thor Hedderich

    Hello

    In General, all satellites/Satellite Pro should have SATA hard drives and upgrade is not problematic. You can do this alone.
    If your laptop's 60 GB HARD drive only you can improve even with 120 GB or 160 GB.
    These hard drives are so cheap.

    Is that enough for you?
    Replacement is easy to do and you don't need manuals.

    The low side is set with a cover of HARD drive screw. On the disc lid HARD is placed also for computer laptop (one of the 4).
    -Remove the HARD drive cover
    -Remove the HARD drive pack by pulling on the cushion of the battery, following the direction of the arrows
    -Place the pack HARD drive on a flat surface (such as a desk) and remove the two cushions

    I guess you know now how to put a new.

  • Satellite Pro A100-828 refuses to connect to the internet with modem MDA Vario 2

    I have an Equium A60 which I use regularly as a modem for mobile internet access. Still, it connects to my MDA VARIO 2 (HTC Tytn) and gives quick access.
    However I just bought a Satellite pro a100-828 who, for some reason, refuses to connect to the internet through this phone.

    T-mobile want nothing to do with the problem and that it is a conflict between the phone and the bluetooth stack Toshiba. The phone has always look like that is going to connect and then to computer recording connected to the screen network switches the modem feature phone.

    As you can guess I'm sitting at the old equium typing this so if anyone can shed some light on this I would be very happy?

    I tried to uninstall the bluetooth stack.

    The fact that your old Equium was connected via BT to this modem?
    Perhaps a Bluetooth stack of new version of battery BT facility allows or you can try to use the same version of BT stack that is installed on the old notebook
