    Media test failure.(on system startup.)
    « on: April 10, 2007, 02:39:32 PM »
    I have a Toshiba Tecra M1 computer(1.6Ghz and 1024MB RAM) with Windows XP professional (SP2).
    At home I have a wireless connection.
    Always when I start my computer it tests the connection:
    I get a Black screen with white letters(like DOS) it contains:

    Intel (R) Boot Agent GE V1.2.03
    Copyright 1997-2002 Intel corporation
    Attempting to establish link...

    It always says error:Media test failure I think its because it test the LAN connection.
    Sometimes my computer totally blocks at that application.
    Than I can only shutdown with the button.(cold shutdown)
    Can I remove that function?
    Or can I update it sow my computer doesn't block anymore?

    Do you have access to BIOS settings that control this?

      Sounds like it's trying to boot to a PXE network card.  Do what GX1-Man recommends.  In the BIOS look for the Boot option and turn off the 'Boot from Lan' option.

        Thanks for the advice.
        I've entered my BIOS but I didn't found any options about LAN.
        Except for the LAN connection himself.
