• Satellite Pro A660 - wireless network adapter issues

  Hi guys hope you can help!

  I have a Satellite Pro A660 - 11 M Windows 7-64 bit

  The wireless network adapter does not work...

  I tried to reinstall the bios and the driver wireless.

  The wireless button is lit to Yes as the key Fn + F8 doesn't show not relevant wifi is turned on/off as usual!
  It shows also in the Device Manager and BIOS.
  Is there something I missed? Or is it a faulty card?

  Hello

  > It shows also in the Device Manager and BIOS.

  First of all, you won't find any WLan entries in the BIOS.
  But you should see the local network card in Device Manager.
  If good WLan driver has been installed, the local network adapter device should appear in devices-> network cards Manager.

  If WLan driver has not been installed properly, you'd still see an entry under network adapters, but it should appear as unknown device or Ethernet controller.
  You can this inscription?

  In addition, the WLan driver was released on the Toshiba UE driver page.
  The question is; have you chosen the right Wlan driver.
  As much as I know that the laptop supports the BROADCOM 802.11(B/G/N) BCM94313 WLan card and, as a result, Broadcom Wlan driver should be used.

• Satellite L500D wireless network card issues

  Over the last week I had problems with my Realtek wireless adapter... The wireless or the other works for about 30 minutes, a troubleshooting questions or laptop
  cannot locate the adapter wireless at all.

  Whenever I restart the laptop, he returns with one of the following error messages on the network wireless driver

  (1) Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)

  (2) this device cannot start. (Code 10)

  or other times wireless driver cannot be found at all.

  I tried to uninstall the driver wireless and re - install... updated the BIOS and even a full recovery of the system however nothing seems to work.

  Any ideas?

  Hmmm, I think it might be from hardware, which means that wireless network adapter needs to be replaced, but before that you would get in touch with a local ASP, please set the BIOS to default settings and install the WLan driver from this page:

• a6755y: a6755y wired and wireless network hard

  I already spoke with my ISP nothing helps technical support.

  I recently created my desktop computer again after having been stored for several months. Before I put it there, I was using wireless internet and local wireline connections regularly and without problem, and now I can not access to either. I have a strong connection with the modem/router device, so I thought that the issue could be in how its configuration or interpret the connection from my computer, but nothing, I have discovered has indicated that this was the case, and convenience store customer support my ISP did not find anything abnormal. I was now more confused when I discovered that it also fails to connect to another computer using a direct wired connection, even though I had in the past linked their and transfer large files regularly. I would like to assume that these issues are linked, to make the simplest solution; but as one involves a separate network adapter, and the other connects directly to the motherboard, I don't think that's likely.

  For any help or suggestion would be appreciated.

  Hi there @_GS
  
  Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

  I understand that you pulled on your desktop, storage and now you can not connect to your wireless network.  I'm happy to help you with this problem.

  Is this the same router that you were using before you put the computer in stock?

  How is the computer to the router? (Sometimes too much signal is as bad as not enough)

  What type of cable you are using for the connection from computer to computer, you mentioned?

  There is special software required?

  Have you other wireless devices that are connected to this router without problem?

• Wireless network has welcomed, for users of Satellite A200

  After studying the issue for a year without result, I'm always hoping if Toshiba can provide a work around for the WLAN hosted in models A200 with Atheros 5007EG adapter on Windows Vista.

  The last driver wireless lan in archive of drivers A200s turned out be v12.2.0.11.3 where it says "Connect to your wireless access Point or to another PC wireless using your wireless network card" and Windows Vista turns out to be ground BONE for this driver. However, the provided url takes us to https://aps.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/ where v7.7.0.288.0 is available for Vista.

  I tried this driver several times but could not get the features mentioned.

  From my point of few this isn t Toshiba issue since the isn t Atheros driver created by Toshiba but Qualcomm.

  In addition, I noticed that drivers for old notebooks abandoned will not be updated.

  Last but not least if you want to use your laptop as a hot spot, I recommend the software 3rd party as a freeware tool called Virtual Router Wi - Fi or WiFi HotSpot Creator. It should work even with your Vista system

  PS: Why you n t switch to Win 7. Much better than Vista

• map memory in wireless network shows do not in a single account

  Hi - I have an Epson SX515SW printer, which is on a wireless network. I run Vista 32-bit SP2. This problem is produced only since I provided an image my Toshiba laptop after 2 years & had my single BSOD (due to conflicts between pieces of AV s/w, left for account).

  The printer is a multifunction device & includes a card reader. I have 2 accounts on the machine. We (call it account A) sees the reader without the need to re - map & so is end, the second (call it account B) do not see without having to map the drive (& yes I know I can get it to reconnect to the opening but I'd rather work as it should).
  In both accounts, I can print OK, the only thing I've noticed is that sometimes when starting the laptop or the other account, if I shoot to the top of the network view, sometimes I get a message saying that network discovery is turned off (it is not) & seems to think that it is a public network rather private whoever it is. If I go to the center of network share among the down sweater that shows this error, everything is fine. Network of the discovery shows that on & network type as private. I am connected to a Superhub of blank media (which is a Netgear VMDG280).
  The other two computers from the House (one is Win7 & XP) see the drive without any problems.
  While this is not critical, I really want to get this working as it should really.
  TIA

  OK issued resolved but I don't know why!

  Do as I said in my last post. Uninstalled the account I used to install the Epson s/w. Then I reinstalled on the account that I have had the problem.
  All right. I see the memory card in * the * accounts without having to resort to a drive mapping. But what precisely could hurt that I wonder?

  Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

  Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
  version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
  Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

If I try to navigate to the folder Realtek can't find anything compatible... (the network lan card is realtek, so I guess that the Wlan should be the same... as also indicated in the url)

  "I have the latest drivers from the toshiba Web site

  The next sollution I try is updating the bios, but I have no whink it is useful.

  So please help me with a sollution for my WiFi problem!

  Thank you

  Hi creativu22,

  First, you must identify the type of wireless network card before you begin to install all the drivers available. Therefore, you can also search with vendor and device ID.
  Check this box!

  If you have installed the driver successfully and your wireless network adapter is listed in the Device Manager, you must check the TCP/IP settings. Maybe you need to use static IP addresses, but it depends on your router.

  Try turning off also in Power Options Windows WLAN energy saving features!

• Wireless network Vista says local only and a network not identified

  Original title: I'm having a problem only with my vista local wireless how to fix?

  We recently got cable internet time warner and I had trouble setting up so I spent an hour or so talking to their tech support. We got it running, but for some reason, my computer of all things can't go on the internet. It says it's connected, but I can't go on the internet. It says local only and that it was an unidentified network. I tried internet options and went on lan settings and selected automatically detect settings. And ipv4.

  Any suggestions?
  Thank you.

• Windows Vista network card issues: limited connectivity

  My Compaq Presario laptop apparently has "problems with one or more network adapters. My connection shows only "limited connectivity" with the little yellow triangle. I tried several times to restart, update and turned off my computer so that the re - activate and update network cards. The wireless works fine on all other computers in the House, so I know it's my computer and not the modem. What can I do? I need help as soon as POSSIBLE. Thank you.

  Hello

  1. You have the latest service pack installed for Windows Vista?

  Method 1:

  The issue could be related to corrupt check Windows Socket the link provided below to troubleshoot issues with the nerve to Windows in Windows Vista.

  How to determine and to recover from Winsock2 corruption in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP and Windows Vista

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/811259

  Method 2:

  First, disable all other connections to try to force the wireless connection to request the information needed in the router.

  (a) click Start

  (b) Control Panel

  (c) network and sharing Center

  (d) managing network connections.

  (e) click every link that is EXCEPT the wireless LAN connection, and then click on disable this network device.

  (f) then see if your wire will connect.

  (g) you should probably run the diagnostic and repair utility on the Network and Sharing Center menu to force the wireless card to request information from the router IP.

  Method 2:

  If all else fails, go back into the network and sharing Center, manage network connections and right click on the wireless network connection and select Properties.

  Then click Internet version 4 Protocol and select Properties.

  Click in the box that says "Use following IP address" and enter the information that has been shown in IPCONFIG report for your connection to the Wired Local network above.

  Do the same for "use the following DNS servers."

  Make sure that you type the IP address, mask subnet, default gateway, and DNS addresses exactly the same than the connection to the Local network was when he got the information from the router.

• Issue with Vista wireless

  Computing:   I have a Dell XPS 420 Desktop Computer with wireless capability with a Broadcom 802.11 network adapter g. operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit with Service Pack 1

  History: I had my computer since December 2007 and used to access wireless internet with Bellsouth DSL and a Linksys router, and then for the past year, I got paired with a Linksys WRT150N router comcast. I have had no problems to connect to the internet until Verizon Fios has been installed on the Sunday, August 30, 2009.
  That said, I tried with a Dell laptop in windows XP and it is connected. I also tried with a mini computer dell laptop running XP and it is also connected. Yet once again, I say that all three of these computers connected to the internet using Linksys and two different ISPS, it was with the switch to verizon that it has lost its ability to connect.

  Verizon has installed a router wireless Actiontec MI424WR Rev E.
  Firmware version: 20.9.0 (this is the most to date version)

  I can't connect my Dell XPS 420 desktop using a wired LAN connection to the router and establish an internet connection. I'm not able to establish a wireless internet connection. When I try to go wireless, it is said:
  Public Network - unidentified network - Local access only.
  IPv4 connectivity: Local
  IPv6 connectivity: Local
  Media state: enabled
  SSID: FWLK5
  Speed: 54 Mbps
  Number of employees: (all 5 bars)
  Bytes received is always 0

  On the connection tab:
  Name and SSID: FWLK5
  Network type: Access Point
  Network availability: all users
  The checkmarks are: connect automatically in case of beach, connect to a more preferred network if available.

  On the Security tab:
  Security type: no authentication (Open)
  Encryption type: WEP
  Password: (wrong password is in the box)
  Key index: 1

  The properties of the wireless connection:

  Connect with: map of network Broadcom 802.11 g
  This connection uses the following items:
  Client for Microsoft networks
  QoS Packet Scheduler
  File and sharing printers for microsoft networks

  Internet version 4 Protocol
  Link layer topology discovery map i/o driver
  Link Layer topology discovery responder

  Sharing:
  The two boxes are checked:
  Allow other users to connect through this computer network
  Allow the other network users to control or disable the shared connection
  
  What I've tried so far based on reading previous forums discussing this issue.

  1. completely uninstalled Norton 360, including using the Norton removal tool and by calling the customer service of Norton who has accessed the computer and verified the complete removal.

  2 turned off the windows firewall.

  3 make sure the Broadcom network adapter driver has been the most up to date.

  4. people with disabilities and reinstalled the card network Broadcom.

  5 update Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and all other updates installed today.

  6 call Verizon Online support - they reset the modem and tried several things like change the "channel". Nothing has worked. They said to contact the computer manufacturer. They have pointed the finger to be a problem with Vista from the computers Windows XP work.

  7. called Dell: they tried several things with access to remote and says that it is the problem of the router/ISP.

  8. unplug the router several times, waited 5 minutes and plugged in. Has made several rounds of power on the computer as well.

  9. changing a registry key according to Microsoft technical support to disable the DHCP Broadcast flag in windows vista (I'm not entirely sure I did correct it because I didn't know what was the GUID) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928233

  10 disabling IPv6 (by unchecking it)

  11 disabling IPv4 (by unchecking it)

  12 Ran IPConfig to confirm I have a valid IP address (starts with 192 and is valid I don't know if I should post the full address)

  13 fact MSCONFIG with reset winsock

  14 changed the settings TCP/IP by netsh int ip reset at the command prompt, and out, and then uupon done restart ncpa.cpl in the start menu and unchecked the tcp/ip v6 Protocol restarted the computer.

  15. don't attempt to ping a website - no Exchange packets, error message cannot find the Web site. I tried www.google.com and www.verizon.com

  I am at a loss of what I can do to get my computer back operational wireless. Due to the entire office to the top of our House, I would really like this computer on another level and the only way to accomplish that without drilling the holes through the walls that it it works wireless.

  Any other advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

  UPDATE:   I rented the "Geek Squad" to come look at my system. The poor guy spent 3 hours going through all stages. Finally a last ditch effort he has installed a new NIC card.

• Local access only on wireless network

  My laptop (Toshiba Satellite L350-203 with Vista SP1 HPE) has lost the ability to connect to the internet using my home network. I have McAfee Internet Security and charge of IE8, but both were present before the problem appeared. My home network is now displayed as 'unidentified public network' and the laptop has "local access only". He seems unable to keep the WEP key for the network as it asks everytime I try to connect. I confirmed that the WEP key is correct. There are 3 other computers in the House that connect without a problem, so I guess that the router is not the source of the anomaly. I tried accessing another network to another place (with any necessary safety information) but get the same result, so that other computers can connect successfully. I am able to access the internet via an account mobile broadband (using a "dongle"), but I added this account after the problem appeared, so once I don't suspect it as being the culprit. Diagnosis in the "network and sharing Center" routines are unable to solve the problem, so any help is most welcome.

  Hello Roy Mac,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Windows Vista Forums.

  You receive an error or the error codes when you try to connect?  You're obviously network savy upward so if something seems repetitive please ignore, you tried to delete the location and replace?   Is there any software for the high account mobile broadband that could changed settings?  Are you able to connect to the router with an ethernet cable access to the internet without problem?

  A wireless network uses authentication and encryption to help stay secure. Authentication controls access to the wireless network. Encryption helps to ensure that malicious users cannot determine the contents of wireless data frames.  Windows Vista includes a new wireless network configuration setting. The new setting indicates whether a wireless network is broadcast or not broadcast. You can also use the new configuration setting that a Windows Vista wireless client connects to a non-broadcast network.

  I've added two links below one for Microsoft and one for the installation of networks and networks the Toshiba site.  Please let us know status.   Thank you!

  The software that you used with Windows XP to connect to wireless networks is not compatible with Windows Vista. Alternatively, you can use Windows Vista to configure wireless networks.

  To connect to a wireless network in Windows Vista, follow these steps:

  1. click on Start

  Collapse this includes this image

  , then click on connection to.

  2. click on the wireless network you want to connect, and then click connect.

  Note During the connection process, you may be prompted for a key WEP Wired Equivalent Privacy (). If you do not have this key, contact the network administrator to help wireless.
