  Hello

  To my knowledge the Tecra 9100 was equipped with the wireless LAN standard: 802. 11B mini card PCI ORiNOCO.

  You need to check if the WiFi signal is strong enough for a transmission correctly
  I think that the signal of WLan access points is not strong enough because of the distance.

• Tecra 9100: Unable to connect external monitor to the APR III Plus via DVI

  Hello
  I have a laptop Tecra 9100 that I try to use with an Advanced Port Replicator III (APR3 +) to connect to an LCD flat screen widescreen Dell via the DVI connector, but so far without success.

  All other connections on the APR3 + operate without problem, the monitor stir however not until Windows finishes loading, how it shows a totally white screen with black bars very close down vertically.
  I upgraded to the latest version of the BIOS and tested all the cables, but in vain. I also carefully searched from Toshiba Web site, but the only document which deals with taken ports supported on the APR3 + I can find does not list my laptop model at all.

  Please can you tell me if this mode of operation is supported and if it is how to enable it?
  Alternatively, if it is not supported, could I use a VGA - DVI cable to connect the APR3 + LCD flat screen?

  Concerning
  Ross.

• Tecra A8 - no wireless connection

  Normally, I work through a network cable connected to my router. But today, I figured that my without wire was down, due to problems with another wireless device, so I switched wireless (say better that I took out the network cable and normally the computer should go wireless (in other words, the setting I made))

  But this time, no connection. I first thought that my router has had a problem, but who turns out be a problem in the other wireless device that is easily fixed. So, I know that wireless should work fine.

  In the past, I could pass between the cable and wireless without problem. As much as I'm sure that nothing is changed (at least by me and I'm the only one not working on my laptop).

  When I check the radar of wireless lan my router is the most powerful and closest to the router (as it should because it is 1.5 meters from my laptop).
  But every time I have to create a connection in the radar between my laptop and the router in the following dialog box appears: ConfigFree - sell another application is controlling the wireless card.

  Can someone help me fix to correct this?

  Hello!

  This problem is caused if you have a program installed that controls the WLAN settings.

  As Akuma said remove the utility from the Intel Wireless (not the driver). It would be the easiest way, then you should connect via a WLAN.

  If you have problems make an update of the WLAN card driver.

  Good bye

• Tecra 9100 for TV connection problems

  Hello

  I hope that im asking this question in line.

  I tried to connect my laptop to my tv without success I pass the cable in the left side of the laptop and plug the other end to the video output on the tv I have both put power off and power on, but nothing happens.

  Also Tosh button does nothing when you press on and the fn key to control the F buttons along the top also do not change anything.
  I disabled not those still and is there a way to get them working again.

  I have the disks to reset to the factory settings. I have to use these or I'll lose the content stored on my laptop?

  If anyone can help me with the above problems, I would be very grateful,

  Thank you very much

  Terry.

  Usually the keys FN + F5 should allow external display devices.
  You can switch between the portable computers internal display, the external monitor or TV.
  If the buttons n t work then there must be something wrong with the drivers or system files

  Using the recovery CD would be desirable because it would create the laptop back to the factory settings and generally allowing to get the features of Toshiba works.
  But the use of the recovery CD will format the partition (disk).

  So if you need the file then it would be desirable to save the data

  However, in order to connect the TV to the laptop, you will need to use the s-video cable on the right. On some TVs, you need to activate the option s-video (channel). Then, you must use the FN + F5 keys to switch to the TV.

  Best regards

• Tecra 9100 wireless network problem

  I'll have a chance by putting my Tecra 9100 with my home wireless network. The network seems to work very well. My other laptop connects to it without any problems and I can connect the Tecra with the ethernet cable. But the wireless connection, it cannot be successfully established by the Tecra.

  She claims to be connected, but he receives no package, and could get no internet connectivity. When I try to 'fix' the connection, it sits there for a while before telling me that the IP address may not be renewed.

  I managed to connect the Tecra to the network of the next door without penalty, which suggests that there is some kind of problem with our network interface. I tried to reproduce the exact settings from my other laptop, so I don't understand what the problem is.

  Any idea would be appreciated with gratitude!

  Hello

  It's really not easy to say what is happening here. The functionality of the laptop is ok and it's very confusing if it works with other local wireless networks.

  I recommend putting your access point to the factory without some specific parameters settings and try to connect it.

  Sorry, but I don? have another idea.

• Tecra 9100: Installation of the printer with docking station connected

  I have a Tecra 9100 with a docking station that run under WIN - XP SP1. Trying to install my printer, an Epson 740 with USB connection, I found that I need to create 2 entries for the same printer, 1 environmental off-STATION and 1 for MOORING environment, known as the XXX (1 copy). Is this normal or have I done something wrong.

  This is different from my old Portege that keeps the 2 hardware profiles, 1 connected uindocked and 1, and there is only 1 entry in the Printers folder.

  Also, if I unplugged the printer from the docking station and later taking again on another USB port,
  He will ask reinstall me the printer again.

  Thanks for any comments from anyone.

  I have Tecra M1 and use it on the same port replicator as you have your 9100. The same happen to me if I want to use the webcam on different USB ports. Use it on the same there is no message but using the second port he asks the driver.

  It seems to be normal. :)

• Tecra M5: Wireless connection is no longer working

  I have a new Toshiba Tecra M5. I originally put in place to connect to my WAP Home/office with no problems. After using it in a place where no WAP was available and making the home, wireless connection"is not available" and I can't do so.

  Additional information: I have two other systems connected to my WAP without any problem. I can connect the Toshiba to my home LAN via a cable without problems. I already rebooted the latest drivers and tried to re-establish a wireless connection completely new, without success.

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  Bob

  Hello

  Looks you used Notepad in 2 different WLANs.
  In my opinion, you should refresh the connection.
  Go to the properties of WLan, and select the wireless networks tab.

  Here, you can set the home WLAN on the preferred networks. This should be done if you have configured your WLan network as invisible. Also use the option View Wireless networks.
  If your home WLan is not in the list, then you need to add the SID of WLan.

  Usually the WAP encryption password must be redefined

• Tecra 9100: Wireless / Bluetooth Switch

  I have the above and when I press Fn + F8 I get a message on the screen.

  "Wireless is disabled. Please activate the wireless communication switch. »

  When I try and install the Bluetooth stack drivers I get as much as the driver Bluetooth installation... screen and after a bit of activity of the HD, I get a pop-up message.

  "Couldn't turn on Bluetooth monitor. Please activate the Communication of wireless switch located on the side of the main unit. »

  I think that there is a problem with the switch on the front of the laptop. I that reason for my guess. Is - fixable. Can I fix it myself. Other ideas.

  Thank you

  Hmm, don t think that the switch is the reason for this notification message.
  Did you check if the laptop supports Wlan and BT maps?

  To my knowledge, the two cards (WLan & BT) are optional on this Tecra 9100!
  I think that you should first check this! Have a look in Device Manager

• Tecra 9100 cann't find the internal wireless card

  I have Tecra 9100. Recently he started to act strange. Sometimes (rarely), it cannot find its internal wireless card or / and hang (freeze). When I check the device manager card is simply not there. After the reboot, the map pops up sometimes, but not for long.
  I checked the event viewer, but the only Error Message is:
  Source: Service Control Manager
  Event ID: 7000
  Description: The OrangeWire USB enhanced host controller service could not start because of the following error: the specified driver is invalid.

  2 USB ports are working perfect. What is the link between that message and the internal wireless card?
  Any ideas how to fix? I'm with Windows XP SP2.
  Thank you.

  I put t think the WiFi problem could be related to the USB enhanced host controller service. I don t see a consistency

  You can try several steps; first try to install the latest driver WLan.
  Access card WLan (device-> Properties Manager) properties, and then clear the option to save energy.
  Additionally, you will find different option in the Advanced tab.
  I can t Advisor was 100% what options need to be changed because each wireless network card supports different function.

  Whatever the case the advice above will not help not I think there could be something wrong with the OS files or registry keys.
  In this case, it would be very interesting to know if the installation of clean operating system might help.

• Wireless LAN on Tecra 9100 evil: card not recognized or system crashes

  I have a little problem with my tecra 9100. When I want to use my wireless network, it works sometimes and sometimes the pc does not even see the map. but when it works for awhile, then the complete system crashes! and I have to reset the tecra. now I use an external wireless (3com) and features a large, but what can be the problem?

  Hello

  Without accurate control for laptop, we can just speculate what may be the problem. If sometimes the WLAN card is not visible to the system, I guess there is a contact problem and system has no contact to the card and card cannot be detected at all.

  When it blocks for laptop may be due to loss of contact on the map. In my view the contact on the motherboard must be verified by the service. If you don't want to just use the external solution and take advantage of the WLAN functionality.

• Tecra A3: Wireless connection problem

  I reinstalled windows xp prof after my laptop crashed and lost files.

  When the WLAN switch is set to ON, use the FN + F8 key combination to activate the WLAN adapter. After that do what you will be able to use the wireless network card.

• Tecra 9100 - Ethernet is declining

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Tecra 9100 that I used to connect my ps3 to wireless internet. For some reason my Tecra is down the Ethernet of the ps3, the strange thing is if I turn the laptop off the battery only there is no problem but as soon as I plug I save it starts to give up the connection again.

  Any body know what is the problem?

  Hello

  To be honest, I don't have a specific answer to your question, but maybe you should try to install the latest drivers LAN and WLAN. Also check the properties of the device and make sure that all power saving settings are defined to the maximum level.

  In Toshiba surveillance tool when the laptop is connected to the power supply running set everything up.
  Intel Speedstep option implemented.

  I hope this will help.

• Tecra 9100 - W-LAN-Mini-PCI-card upgrade

  Hello everyone,

  I ve got a with the W-LAN-onboard Tecra 9100 working doesn´t.
  Instead of repairing the old W - Lan Mini-PCI-card I want to move to a new standard (802. 11 b / g with 108 Mbit/s max) Mini-PCI card.

  I prefer the mini Notebook-WLAN-Gigabyte GN-WIAG02 PCI adapter.

  Is it possible to chance the card built into the Gigabyte card?

  Hello

  It s nice that you want to upgrade your wireless mini-pci network card. But I suggest you rather a card with an Atheros chipset. The best choice is perhaps a card with a Chipset of Atheros 5005GS since I upgraded my Tecra 9100 with this card and it works like charm. (and not so expensive as other s cards)

  To swap the card, you must remove the plastic cover of the keyboard and unscrew the two screws in order to release the keyboard.
  After removing the keyboard, you will find an aluminum side cover left which is set with a special torx screws. The best would be to get these torx screwdriver to loosen this bolt and remove the cover.
  After removal, you will see the map with the cables that lead to the antenna. (One white and one black) Be very CAREFUL when remove the Connector cables, because if damage you one of the cable connectors there is no return since the cables are cables "Mini-coax" and cannot be "connected."

  I warn you, just do it if you're really sure and if you know what you're doing, because I won't take any responsibility if damage you something on your machine. Otherwise, I wish good luck and would appreciate some comments on your success.

  See you soon

• WLAN on Tecra 9100 - LED should go orange if the s/w keyboard shortcut NOT installed?

  I bought a Tecra 9100 that had been restored to XP SP1 and without good Toshiba utilities that most drivers seemed to be OK - for example screen OK but USB has been 1.1 until I added the Intel Chipset drivers.

  I can't get the WLAN card to work by sliding the switch (close microphone) - also, it does NOT appear in Device Manager. I spotted a post below (which was locked) where Pedro said WiFi hotkey software must be installed to make it work. Two questions:

  1 if the s/w keyboard shortcut IS NOT installed should always be able to mount the light Orange / appear in Device Manager
  2. is there an alternate download site because I tried 20 times in the last 15 hours at: http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/cmod-en-20070925121500.zip (for the common modules) and the site just seems to be 'dead' - nothing is received at all

  Thank you very much in advance - I want to become a happy member of Tosh' club... Cheers, Brian R.

  PS; The Tecra has a WiFi tag on the bottom and even a MAC address and I have not yet looked for nothing changed so much material.

  Pedro post follows:
  + Hello +.

  + Is the map original WLAN or you have upgraded on your own? What is with Device Manager, this is the card of wireless network which are listed there? +

  + For the use of WLAN, there are few requirements: +.
  + WLAN switch must not be broken or defective.
  + Wireless network card must be compatible one.
  + The WLAN antenna must be connected correctly.
  + Wireless network card must be installed properly (the right driver must be installed) +.
  + Wireless network card must be enabled in the Device Manager.
  + Wireless network card must be activated using the FN + F8 key combination (Wireless Hotkey V2.0.0.1 must be preinstalled) +.

  (1) first you should check if there is a yellow exclamation (unknown device) in device under network adapter Manager.
  If you find any unknown devices in the network adapter section then your laptop was not equipped with WLan minPCI card!
  The shortcut key has nothing to do with the WLan card status in Device Manager! The keyboard shortcut software only controls the function FN + F8.

  (2) don t know what you mean! The functions of link!
