Two years trying to get Toshiba laptop wireless connection works

I tried for two years to try and get the connection Wireless on my Toshiba laptop to work without much success. For a short period I managed to connect the laptop to a desktop computer's ad-hoc wireless and share the internet connection in this way but then it stopped working.

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 - 15L model no PSU45E-00J005EN. It is with the 12.1 "screen and running Windows XP Pro sp3.

My wireless switch on the front of the laptop is turned on. It is also activated in the software Fn F5 wireless enabled, disabled bluetooth. I don't have Intel ProSet.

Already when I was able to establish an ad hoc connection using microsofts software. I had to manually activate the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) whenever even if, as he always began with disabilities or order even if I set it to start automatically. It is a monumental PITA.

When I try and connect to the ADSL wireless router (Belkin N150) using the Toshiba Software, I get the message error "application from another provider is controlling the wireless adapter.

I get all the time, even though I turned off Microsoft Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC).

I thought that Windows controlled always somehow it even though I disabled WZC, so after reading solutions in other posts, that I tried to go...

-> Control Panel-> network connections-> wireless-> properties-wireless networks tab > uncheck "use Windows to configure...". ».

But unfortunately there is not 'the wireless networks tab' in there, all I have is the other two tabs. And since trying to use Toshibas software to connect wireless using their Radar thing, now when I click the wireless network connection in there the message "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software. »

Can someone on the forum or using Toshiba please?

Thank you

John

Two years? Sorry, but I can't believe it.

If everything is Ok and I mean if there is no hardware problem you n t need more than two minutes for the WLAN configuration.

As a first step, you must be sure that the wireless network card is installed correctly (Device Manager).
Wireless network card must also be enabled correctly (switch > check FN + F8 > check ConfigFree tool).
When the wireless network card that it is correctly enabled scan (check the status of ConfigFree) the area with RADAR option in ConfigFree.
You will find this option?
You can scan the area?
Some WLAN is visible for your laptop?

  • I need this laptop wireless connection to my office wired printer. How

    I want to this laptop wireless connection to my office wired printer. How can I do that. I tried to do the thing of the shared printer, but my office is old and uses windows xp, and of course, this laptop uses windows 7. My printer is an epson stylus photo r320.

I want to do this as cheaply and simply as possible. Thank you

    Hello:

    First you must enable sharing of files and printers in Windows XP. During this process, you need to change the name of your to WORKGROUP MSHOME workgroup to match the workgroup name in Windows 7.

    You should also turn on file sharing and printers in Windows 7, and turn off password protected sharing.

    When you have done all that, click View workgroup computers on the XP PC. You should see the two PC listed.

    With the laptop to Windows 7, you should see the printer connected to your computer listed with the desktop computer (you may need to click on see the whole map when you open the network and sharing Center). Click on the printer and click on connect. I hope that the printer is capable of Windows 7. If it isn't, it will give you an error that it cannot find an appropriate driver or another error.

  • Hello, I am trying to get my internal speakers to work. Device States drivers are missing, but no info on what brand and model they are.

    Hello, I am trying to get my internal speakers to work. They worked fine up until I had to repalce my hard drive. I finailly got all my drivers installed and updated on the site variouus.  Now, when I check my internal speakers (no system sounds) I can not find the make and model of them.  All I can identify is that I have.  That the drivers are missing. No part number for the company name, etc. is connected with the internal speakers.

    I don't know what you mean by getting the drivers from "various sites." The only place to get the drivers for the hardware that is installed with your Dimension is the Dell Web site.

    There is only one pilot audio for your Dimension 3000 and it's here:

    http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=08W&l=en&s=bsdv&releaseid=R94481&SystemID=DIM_CEL_3000&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&deviceid=2430&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=3&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=1&libid=3&typeid=-1&dateid=-1&formatid=-1&fileid=122481

    Of course if you added your own sound card you need get the drivers of the mftr site. but provided with your Dell printer's on the motherboard, and those are the drivers for it. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Toshiba laptop keyboard not working not properly

    Today my daughter was doing the work of the school on my old Toshiba laptop purchased in February 2012. It crashed at 12 Dec, Toshiba gave me the whole term on fixig so I had to have local difficulty. Even after it was fixed, it never was the same a awesome laptop turned into something of a child's play. Anyway, I gave this laptop to my daughter and bought another laptop. Once again, the Toshiba worked but was not until I had to do, was not quickly leave and the hard drive was not the same (once it has been repaired), but it was bearable for a child. Today, my daughter was of school work (or try) when she noticed problems with the keyboard. The buttons were working, but which has been pressed, wasn't showing on the screen. Example: If you press the W button, this indicates: 3/3/3/3/3 appears in the display. If you press the button, it appears:... (3) individual letters, numbers and random characters appear on the screen when you try to type. If you press BACKSPACE, it refreshes the page. I found an old office keyboard and ito the Toshiba is plugged and I am able to type without any problem, so I thought that it was a matter of device. I went to devices and printers, ran a bad shoot and got the following report:

    SM Bus controller is not a driver not installed
     
    Problems encountered:
    Unknown device is not a driver... Not fixed
    Apply the solution to the problem of driver... . Completed

    Problem with the PnP devices... Detected
     
    Potential problems that have been verified:
    Windows Update is configured to never install drivers... There is no question

    I tried to install a driver using Windows Update, but it was uncessful / could not detect a driver installed. Windows has suggested I go the manufacturer of my laptop to download a driver from this site. I'm on the Toshiba site now and after entering my serial number on this subject, they gave me a list of updates. I do not know which install beause they have two updates listed under keyboard, 10 listed under devices. I don't know which one I need to choose.

    When I first bouht the Toshiba it was Windows 7 (which came standard with all computers). The person who fixed installed Windows 7 Ultimate, if it helps. Can someone please advise on what is wrong with the laptop keyboard. The laptop was not great after it crashed / 'repaired', but he was able to do the basic functions

    Hello

    Sorry, but I don't see it as a software problem, despite the report of devices and printers.  I would say that time has caught up with your computer "crashed" (where the report of devices and printers).

    Are you able to type normally with an external keyboard, the "computer" went very well. The problem is with the keyboard and/or the original "repair" (which does not look like it completely solved the original problem).

    My suggestion would be to take it to a repair shop trust you, or your daughter use the external keyboard, or possibly to invest a few hundred dollars in a used cell phone, or...

    Keep me posted and let me know how you fare.

    Kind regards

  • Could not get the internet/wireless connection after you installed new hard drive?

    I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC (dv6736nr), Windows Vista laptop.  The hard drive crashed and I got a new installed.   I set up my wireless connection, even that is on the other 4 computers in this building (my desktop computer running win7 netbook win7 running 2 computers of the landlord, winVista running - they have comcast modem,? a good router) when I set up the wireless connection, it connects only 'local', no internet.  I researched this some, tried all the places with a parameter that can be a problem, but nothing helped.  What the hell did I miss?  The connection is good because it works on my desk, on which I write, as I said. To my knowledge, the hard disk the the wireless are not connected; or is it? Any help, the concrete steps that I take on my laptop, the settings themselves, would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello:

    If your laptop computer is the Atheros wireless card, you probably just update the driver.

    The symptoms you listed seem to indicate that is the problem.

  • How to get HP PSC 2355 wireless connection work.

    Wireless HP PSC 2355 does not connect.  It worked initially when it is installed a few months ago.  Have not used the printer for a few months. Now the wireless connection is not displayed.

    How can I get the wireless to start working again? I use another network, then I used initially.

    First, reset the printer:

    You can restore the original settings to what they were when you bought your HP all-in-one device. Note to restore the default settings affect all changes made to analyze the settings and the country/region and language settings. You can perform this process from the control panel only.

    1. press Setup.

    2. press 3, then press again 3.

    This displays the Tools menu and then select Restore Factory Defaults. The default settings are restored.

    Then download the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.  Run the software and choose 'Wireless' or 'network' when asked what type of installation you want.  Make sure that the USB cable is NOT connected when you start the software.

    Hi Joeboffo,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities.

    I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

    Wireless networks appear only if your PC has a wireless network card installed, the adapter is turned on and the wireless access point is within reach. I suggest you try the steps from the following link:

  • TROUBLESHOOTING AND DELETED FILES & NOW I GET THE ERRORS & WIRELESS STOPED WORKING / / HELP MY LAPTOP MORE CLEVER THAN ME

    Hello I'm not real smart about vista (well well not at all) have an HP G60-237NR and I like it but I did C and D drives with images and downloads, thinking it was usp disk, all right I was wrong.  I was looking for an easy way to delete unnecessary files and found something that I click in the operator system (do not remember what) and I did this he warned me I could lose the configuration files, but I noticed at the end.  Now sometimes I have vista and xp, TONS of MISTAKES, sometimes, finally I found a way to transform programs and devices but they still leave but system is a little better.  I can't keep the connection with the hp chat so I thought I'd ask the experts for ANY AND ALL THOUGHTS or IDEAS on what a housewife can do with this machine is so much smarter than me... lol cattery Lady / the pro for the wife

    Hello Lady cattery,

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft answers Forum.  You have this laptop set up for a dual-boot?  I ask because sometimes you say you're in XP and Vista, sometimes.  I think your best course of action at this point is to run the System File Checker.  This scan system files and will repair or replace all you can find missing or damaged.  To do this under Vista:

    1. click on the ORB start

    2. click on all programs

    3. click on accessories

    4. right click on command prompt and then click Run as administrator

    5. type: sfc/scannow

    6 do not all messages that appear in the window.

    We hope to see SFC found and fixed the problems.  If you get another message or this does not solve the problem, please include the message, you get a description of the problem in your answer.

    Thank you
