Satellite Pro M70: ConfigFree says that WLAN is not enabled

Hello

I'm running on wireless on my Satellite Pro M70.
The WiFi light is orange (yellow), then the communication is running. The internet doesn't work, no problem.

But when I run the free app Config and search for wireless networks, I get the message "wireless communication is disabled. Enable '.
I reinstalled the Config Free, but get the same problem.

It seems that this application cannot see my active switch.
In Device Manager, the wireless adapter works and indicate the wireless is turned on.

Clearly, I can seee the networks available through the network of the Systray icon, but I wonder what's the problem with Config Free. Someone at - it an idea?

See you soon

Hello

The wireless network must be enabled using the WLan switch and in addition, you need to activate using the FN + F8 key combination.

But why you are using the ConfigFree to connect WiFi?
I don t use it in my opinion, that you can simply set the wireless connection using Windows own WLan options or you can use a Wlan as Intel ProSet configuration tool
Both options are easy to use

  • Satellite Pro M70: Configfree and Wlan with WEP issue.

    I have a Satellite pro M70. With Configfree (v5.90.07), I can connect to the wireless network (with SSID) of my router and go to the internet. But when I put a WEP key in the router, and then I can not connect anymore.
    With Configfree, wireless Lan, I still can't see the network (with the name of the SSID, etc.) and I see that the network is secure. But I can't connect to the network more. This because the laptop adapter (Intel 2200BG) doesn t have the WEP key. My question is: How can I set the WEP key in Configfree? (A different key by different profiles).

    (Try to solve the problem I have downloaded the new Intel and IntelPROSET wireless drivers.) This live program asked the WEP key and makes a link without problem. Now with Configfree, Wireless LAN, I also see a connection (secured with WEP). But the rest of the Configfree program does more (CFMain.exe problem). I read in another topic that this is caused by the Intel program. You must remove this to solve the problem of Configfree. So this n t the solution.)

    My question is: How can I set the WEP key in Configfree? (A different key by different profiles).

    Hello

    Firstly the Toshiba Configfree program is not software for the WLan configuration.
    This program, you can use for the diagnostic procedure and it shows you the connection properties. But it of not possible to set the cipher with the Configfree.
    It seems that the IntelProset utility has a bad influence on the Configfree. The problem is that Toshiba doesn't support any 3rd party applications.

    Furthermore if this card doesn t WLan supports WEP encryption so you can not use it.
    WEP encryption, you can set in the WLan card properties.
    You also use the 3rd party WLan application like IntelProset or Atheros utility to configure the WiFi network but encryption depends on the WLan card not on the utility!

  • Satellite Pro M70: Unable to connect to the WLan with ConfigFree

    Salvation in the Forum.

    I have problems with a satellite Pro M70, about gaining control of wireless connections.

    When I scan with "The Radar" I have ConfigFree for available wireless accesspoints, I get several points available, but it is not able to connect to one of them. I can read their status and see their marker of WEP encryption.

    When I try to connect to one of them, I get a pop-up dialog, that said (translated from Danish) 'suppliers another software is in control of the wireless network card. When you try to configure a connection through the classic way to windows, windows States that "windows is not able to configure this wireless connection - if you have another program to manage wireless connections, you must use it". I guess it refers to ConfigFree...?

    Is the unnamed "other provider" associated Windows or perhaps associated McAfee (Security Suite 2007)?

    If you are familiar with this problem or something like that I'd be please to know.

    Also - where can I enter keys for WEP encryption for my friends in ConfigFree WLAN routers?

    > Trying to make a connection through the classic way to windows, windows States that "windows is not able to configure this wireless connection - if you have another program to manage wireless connections, you must use it". I guess it refers to ConfigFree...?

    It should not be a ConfigFree. According to you, an Intel ProSet utility or a Client Atheros wireless network adapter might be controls the Wlan configuration!

    Please check if one of the two control the WiFi network tools and turn off!

    > where can I enter keys for WEP encryption for my friends in ConfigFree WLAN routers

    You should have three different tabs in the utility Configfree.
    The second device settings provides the list of devices, and you should see the wireless network connection.
    Choose and use the button network connections.
    There you should find some encryption settings!

    Also check the profile settings tab and the option called security settings

  • Anyone using Win2k on a Satellite Pro M70 or drivers will be used?

    Hello
    I just bought an M70. Needless to say that it comes with Windows XP.

    The software that I use on my project specifically requires Win2k and a 1 GB of RAM.

    I would like to know if
    1. anyone who has tried to install Win2k on M70 and if so, of the problems they might have faced.
    2. I'm looking desperately for the M70 Win2K drivers. Can someone help me with where I can find them?

    Finally, if M70 is not the right book for me, anyone knows another piece which has 1 GB RAM / 100GB HDD combination and supports Win2k as a BONE.

    Appreciate the answers of all the experts.

    Thank you
    Sanjeev malak
    Muscat (Oman).

    Hello

    Well, the fact is that this laptop only comes with the WinXP.
    I also checked the Toshiba site and there is no drivers for W2k.
    If you also use the W2k on your laptop, you can try to install it on the second partition and use it as a dual OS notebook. But you will not be able to use special Toshiba and utility tools.

    There are many models of Satellite Pro M70, but generally, it should be possible to upgrade the memory for max 2024 MB. In this case there is no problem with the upgrade.

  • Satellite Pro M70 freezes everytime when the USB port is used

    Satellite Pro M70 (SPM76) crashes every time when the USB port is used.
    The mouse works, but external HD/Extarnal card sound/Memory stick causing the laptop to freeze. All the drivers are installed right, they are the most recent and have no trouble with other users.

    The devices are all compatible. Service pack 2 is installed, and all the hardware drivers on the toshiba have been updated... again, same problem.
    The toshiba is about 2 months old and have had this problem since I got it. First I thought it was the drvers, but I cleared of all (?) other options but the USB ports.

    Hello

    Believe me, that's not easy to say what the problem may be. It is important to see if the problem occurs because of hardware or software may be. I recommend you to backup all your data and reinstall the unit using rescue media. On this way the unit will be factory settings and will be clean preinstalled. Test your USB devices and see what happens.

    Try to use some standard like USB stick or external HARD disk parts, because in this case, you must not install any drivers please. If you use other devices like USB webcam with own software and drivers, it is possible that something goes wrong, but what. On this path, it is not possible to say.

    Playback problems:
    I'm unable to read cd - r. It's really strange that a few days earlier these CD - R have been reading very well on my drive.
    and when I click on the cd drive in my computer, an error dialog box shows and says f: is not accessible, incorrect function. Here's a screenshot of the error... :

    After getting reading problems, I tried to test my drive writable.

    When I insert a DVD - R Virgin car doesn t detects it as a blank media and the keps LED on lighting constantly and if nero State doesn't detect my DVD even! I'm not able to write on my DVD-R media...

    In short: write to RWs is possible for both cd - r and dvd + RW not possible of writing on CD - R and DVD-R.

    Please help me.
    It is only 7 months since I bought this laptop and believe that there may be no other person on this planet who looks after the training better than me!
    Really, I have not much used this drive and never scratched/gradient/local support, only the Supermedium media inserted.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Well, based on your description it sounds like the drive cannot calibrate the lens and, therefore, it of not possible to read or write to these media.
    Usual it of not possible to fix this and the replacement drive is necessary.

    You can also consult the user manual. You will find a list with all supported and compatible media.

  • Satellite Pro M70-113 does not start up - it hangs at the logo screen

    Hello

    I have a toshiba satellite pro m70-113.

    Sometimes when my laptop turns off mode standby automatically, due to inactivity and then if I press a key on the keyboard to wake up nothing happens and I have no other choice but to it stop completely by pressing the button for 5 seconds.
    But when I restart it works well, that is to say, it starts very well.

    But today, when it is in a similar situation, I restarted the laptop, the screen move after the logo screen toshiba. I have the power on several times, but without success. It crashes just on screen toshiba logo.

    After a few restart I pressed ESC while restarting and the toshiba logo changed to the texts POST bios screen.
    And I found that the text will not go forward after having reached:
    Find disk 0:
    Maybe default feel HDD initialization...
    The captured image is here:
    http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/9986/image007sp2.jpg

    Note: this is a capture when, I don't know how the system has just begun works very well and can be seen that the HARD drive is detected normally this time. While the earlier version, it will not proceed after having reached "Found Disk 0:

    So, the problem is that at the time of the problem, the hard drive was not read / initialized or something like that.

    And I remember that when I tried to reboot my laptop and it did not work. It was running on battery and when I switched power supply that worked.

    So it is a problem that has been fixed in a bet to update BIOS, but for another laptop (see laufendspass post) his link on this forum is here:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=13143&MessageID=48143

    And my current bios version is 1.1 and an update is available for v1.30... (But I have not yet updated)

    Another problem I had met some time was same this post mentions to be corrected during the update of the bios.
    i.e. "corrected: a computer that is turned on to State power and running on battery power, may crash if the user is connected to the AC adapter while it is start.»

    So, for this, all mean that these problems can be solved by an update of the bios v1.30 which is available for my Satellite m70-113?

    Please answer.

    Hi Ashish,

    The fact that the initial POST process cannot access your hard disk suggests you that there is a possible problem with the drive, maybe he is not in place correctly when power is applied to it. The contents of the disc should be OK, then I suggest you take a good backup of your system (or at least your personal data) If you manage to get your notebook to boot successfully.

    I do not think that an update of the BIOS will affect any on that since the problem does not seem to have a certain 'trigger', and if the BIOS cannot access the hard disk then no matter what version of BIOS you are using.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro M70-113: cannot install Vista graphics driver and lines appears on the display

    Hello

    I have satellite pro m70-113 with ati x 700 graphics card.

    When I installed vista, he installed the default drivers for the x 700 'mobility radeon x 700-microsft Corp.-WDDM '.

    I've updated the display drivers for vista, that released by toshiba 2 days back... but the driver is not updated to the latest version, only the catalyst control center is installed when I ran the update of the driver of toshiba.

    The problem is that whenever I put my laptop in standby or hibernation and resume... the screen shows thin lines vertical/horizontal... and I can't use the laptop... and I have to still put the system to sleep, just to hope that it is not blocking the screen this time...

    This problem is 25% of the time only when resume...

    This problem is not resolved by the update driver for toshiba has released a few days back... as is not installs the drivers (I can't even install the drivers with the option "update drivers" of Device Manager and select file driver update from toshiba.) It says windows find new driver, but could not install the driver... Contact the manufacturer...)

    This snap shows the problem... : http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2783/12042007366copyod1.jpg

    I updated the driver from an earlier version of catalyst, as it is downloaded from the ati site before that toshiba has released the update... this time it updates some 8. XXX version but the screen problem remains...

    Second, this update of the driver leaves me not sleep my system... the process starts for a sleep, but go back to the locked screen without making sleep ever... so I have no choice to get stuck with the default Windows... drivers having only the problem of the screen... and not the problem of sleep...

    Anyone here with a solution?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I have Satellite M70-159 and I noticed the same thing several times. For most Vista works well but I don't remember cases in which the described problem occurs. I was just curious on M70 Vista and have had no time to intensive testing.

    Anyway, it will be interesting to know if you have already updated the BIOS to the latest version 5.10. If this is not the case to do this and watch carefully if the problem persists.

  • Satellite Pro M70-132: excellent WiFi connection but the pings are slow

    Hi all...
    My Satellite Pro M70-132 have problems with Wi - Fi connections (WiFi built in)... Generally, when the connection is excellent (indicator of windows), the pings are slow - very long time: 1212ms, 325ms, 645ms, 2112ms, 91ms, s 168ms... etc 'demand time limit has expired' (or sth like this).
    I have updated with the latest version of the Intel WiFi driver - it does not work...
    I installed new system - it does not work...

    Is it possible, that LAN WiFi is dead on my M70-132? How can I check before sending my 'Toshi' to the service?

    (BTW - built-in Bluetooth has been switched off...)

    I was tempted to access with several AP and also ad hoc. Every time, same results... connection strong-great but pings are slow... and often ping timeout...

    The IP address has been set manually and automatically - it does not work... too multidimensional :-(

    It's not metter WEP encryption is enabled, 'on' or 'off' and no authentication method does not change the situation with WLAN...

    Post edited by: maxgoldie

    Hello

    If the work of WLan connection and you are connected to the router so I guess everything's ok.
    Time to ping depends on not always the strength of the signal.

    If you ping other ip on the net if the time depends on the provider and type of connection.
    But if you ping your WLan router and it s very slow so it s a bit strange.

    If you think there could be something wrong with the Wlan card then you can try asking for help ASP.
