Connecting powermac g4 to a wrt54g

Does anyone have information about the compatibilty of a mac and the wrt54-g router, i am trying to connect via one of the four ports on the rear, and it won't autodetect? tried running the setup ce but it can;t find the application that opens it. am i trying to do something that won't work.i've been told it should work w/o the airport card

Hi… Your physical connections are correct. The PC should be connect to one of the four ports. The CD that came with router wont work on MAC. You can still use it. Just login to router with it IP address (default: 192.168.1.1.) and setup the router as per your ISP settings. Do make sure you Clone the MAC address of your main PC on that router.

Not able to connect my Iphone to my WRT54GS router with security enabled

As the subject line states, I'm not able to connect my Iphone to my WRT54GS router when the security is enabled. When ever I attempt to connect to my network with my phone it always tells me the password is incorrect. I have double checked the password in the easylink advisor and it matches up. I have also tried both WPA and WEP with the same result, I know that the wireless is working on the router as I turned the security off and was able to connect to it. I updated the firmware this evening also with no changes. If anyone could help me with this issue it would be much appreciated.

First of all, in the router, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also, in the router, set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your iPhone find and lock on to your router's signal.
To connect using WEP, enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into the iPhone, not the WEP password or passphrase.
To connect using WPA, make sure that there is not an encryption nomenclature problem. For example, WPA is not the same as WPA with AES. Please note the following:
WPA = PSK = WPA with TKIP = WPA personal
WPA2 = PSK2 = WPA with AES = WPA2 personal
I am not certain, but your iPhone probably does just ordinary WPA (not WPA with AES). Assuming that this is correct, then the router should be set to:
"WPA personal" with "TKIP"
Also, in the iPhone, be sure to delete the entry for your unsecured connection to your router, before you try to input info regarding the secured connection to the router.
Hope this helps.

Connect PowerMac G5 to iMac via Mini Display

I am trying to connect my old PowerMac G5 to my mid 2011 iMac. There is a dual DVI card in the back, and a small cord connects to DVI and Converts to VGA. So here is my question, can I order a male VGA cable and connect that to an adapter that connects VGA to mini display? Also, how do I display the PowerMac G5 on my iMac?
Thank you for your help

can I order a male VGA cable and connect that to an adapter that connects VGA to mini display?
No.
how do I display the PowerMac G5 on my iMac?
Setting up Screen Sharing & Control, allow the G5 to be used in G5>Sys Prefs>Sharing, then on the iMac>Finder>Connect to Server.

Connecting Airport Express (n) to WRT54G via ethernet

I am using Airport Express (n) currently and would like to connect to Blu-ray player with ethernet for netflix streaming. But as we all know, the AX has only one ethernet port. I have an old linksys' WRT54G. Is it possible to use this as a part of network without loosing the advantage of Wireless N network? My idea is to go from Cable modem to WRT54G, and WRT54G's LAN PORT out to AX. WRT54G and AX will be connected via ethernet so that it doesn't lose the advantage of the N network.
And Blu-Ray player will be connected to WRT54G via ethernet.
Can someone tell me if this works and if so, how do you configure each device so that you don't have ip address conflict or any other problem. Thank you.

Certainly that will work. Since they are connected via Ethernet, the wireless clients of the WRT54G will have no effect on the wireless clients of the AX.
The WRT54G will provide a 802.11b/g network while the AX can provide an 802.11n network.
The AX should be configured to create a wireless 802.11n network and it should be configured to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).

Internet Connection no longer working with WRT54G V3 Router

I have had a WRT54G V3 router working successfully for a number of years now with a couple wireless PCs through a cable modem with Comcast as my ISP. All of a sudden yesterday, neither PC could access the internet. No changes had been made to the router.
I contacted Comcast and they of course had me hard-wire one of my PCs into the cable modem. That worked and I was able to access the internet. However, when I tried to put the router back in place (in either a wired or wireless fashion), I could not access the internet.
I've tried following the online Linksys troubleshooting documention. The lights that should be lit on the router are lit. I can access the router setup web page which shows the settings still intact. I've tried going through the power sequencing to no avail. Comcast says my router is the culprit of my problem, but I don't know why it would all of a sudden stop working. My wireless printer still works so it detects a signal and my PC shows it's connected, but no internet access is possible.
What do I need to do? Are there any other diagnostic tools available? The Chat people won't help because I'm out-of-warranty.
Solved!

Here's a trick on how to do the reset on the router.

Problem connecting wirelessly to the internet WRT54G

I'm having strange issues with my wrt54g router - as long as my computers are plugged into it through ethernet, I have no problem accessing the internet. However, I can't access the internet if I connect to the router using wireless (my computers can connect to the router itself wirelessly, just can't access the internet from it). I've had this router for a little under a year and it used to work fine. Then I stopped using it for a few months, forgot my password and had to hit the reset button when I wanted to set it back up again yesterday. I've tried connecting multiple computers to it wirelessly, including the old one that used to work with it, but none of them can access the internet.
I'm really not sure what could be wrong. Do I need to reinstall the router software that came with the router itself (though I'm not sure how this can help..)? Or is there some button/setting on the router that allows it to access the internet that I could have missed? I checked and wireless is enabled under wireless settings.
I'm running Vista on one computer and XP on another.

Connect the XP computer to the router at Ethernet Port ....
Reset the router for 20-30 seconds ....
Run the Disc for the setup wizard
Let me know if any other problem occurs...

Can't connect to Exchange2003 Server through WRT54GS (via wireless)

I'm having problems conencting to my MS Exchange 2003 server, from an Outlook 2003 Client, when using wireless on a WRT54GS.
Hard wired - works fine.
Wireless - connection times out ("unable to connect to exchange server")
I can browse the internet through the wireless conenction, download (legal) music, etc. Cannot use Outlook/Exchange.
I disabled the "firewall" features on the router. (block external requests, etc)
WEP is enabled.
The Router was bought about 6 months ago (original firmware)
any suggestions? anyone successfully using Exchange across a wireless conenction?

first i'd suggest that you upgrade to the latest firmware....also open ports 443-447 under the port forwarding section of the router.

Can't connect Powermac G5 to samsung syncmaster S22A300B

Hi there,
I bought a Powermac G5 (april,2005) and a Samsung syncmaster S22A300B screen. When i connect the mac to the screen with a VGA cable all i get is a black screen, but somehow it recognizes that it is connected. When I connect the mac to the TV everything works just fine. Any idea what i can do?
Thanks in advane

Thanks.
It indeed pretty much looks like the Samsung screen is somewhat broken. Guess I have to bring it back to the store and ask for a new one.

AOL Broadband, will connect to laptop, but not connect to internet explorer. WRT54GS v.6

I can connect to my wireless network via my laptop, but not to internet explorer. We have changed every setting imaginable and re-set the modem, router many times. We Ip configed, did ping tests, installed and re-installed the card in the laptop. Done all this 4 times with the tech support from Linksys. Finally, I realized it must the wireless router and/or modem configuration. (The laptop works on every other network in town except ours, and has not security settings enabled).
I have been on customer service calls for 2 weeks, with AOL and linksys and nothing seems to be helping me. I have 2 wireless routers (thought the first was bad, so bought another brand new), and just had a brand new modem installed. Basically, I have brand new equipment.
The laptop has no security settings and connect to any wireless network in town. It finds the connection to my WRT54GS v.6, but will not connect via internet explorer.
I want to uninstall and re-install the router. How do I uninstall the router? (I have instruction for re-installation). Also AOL rep told me, to make sure I configure the router to a certain port range. Any ideas as to how to do this?
Anyone have problems with AOL high speed and linksys router? Has the high speed cable cord coming out of the wall, not ethernet or DSL.
We have changed the settings in http://192.168.1.1 till I am blue in the face. None of the channels worked, security didn't work, adding the ip address manually to the laptop didn't work. I am getting no error messages. Am trying to get this wireless modem working because I need it. Should have come to this forum first!

hi..if you want to uninstall the router...the only thing you need to do is hold the reset button down for 30 seconds...
i m a bit confused here as to why the ISP techs asked you to forward ports on the router...port forwarding is needed for a specific application or a device that is behind the router....
the mentioned ports are for AOL messenger ( AIM )....and has nothing to do with the modem...anyways , let us work out together on this issue...carry out the steps i mention and you can revert back with the results and your success rate...
1) connect the computer to the modem and check what ip address you have on the computer ??
2) go to start -> control panel -> network connections ->
let me know what other icons you have besides Local Area Connection and Wireless Network Connection..
3)connect the computer to the router and the router to the modem...
access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. let the internet connection type be on DHCP....check the ip address on the status page of the router ui...
4) if it is 0.0.0.0 , go to setup tab and go to mac address clone subtab , enable it and hit clone..save the settings and do a power cycle...
5) check whether you have the ip address...if you have the same ip as coming off of the modem..u should be online and if still 0.0.0.0 , then select PPPoE for the internet connection type and enter the username and password...check whether the ip address comes up....if still negative, ensure that the modem is in bridge mode...
6)if the ip address comes up as 192.168.1.x , change the local ip add of the router to 192.168.2.1 and do a power cycle..
let me know for any help !!!

Connect WRT300N router to a WRT54GS

I have a WRT300N router that I want to connect a WRT54GS to with an ethernet cord and put the WRT54GS closer to my daughters room so she will get a stronger signal on her wireless laptop. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to achieve this? Do I have to run the CD for the WRP54GS on her laptop? Will she have the same security code as we do through the WRT300N? The warranty is out on the WRT54GS and linksys will not tell us how to achieve this unless we pay $34 to renew. The WRT65GS has never been used..so basically new. Thank you for any help.

Your WRT54GS can be setup the same way mentioned in the my previous post at:
http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=93132&jump=true...
The only thing different with your setup is that the WRT54GS does not have as many channels to set. Ideally your WRT54GS can be set to a channel that is at least 5 channels away from your WRT300N channel settings.

Issues connecting multiple machines wirelessly to WRT54G router

I have a WRT54G router and have one wired desktop, two laptops that connect fine and then I have a netbook and another desktop with wireless adapter I am having issues with connecting. I used the wizard and set each machine up with the downloaded executable, it says it works but when I try to connect I get unable to connect to wireless network message. ANy ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated

You have one computer connected with the cable and 2 wireless computers working fine. That means the router is working fine.
I think you should check the wireless settings of the router first.
You have one computer connected to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Check the wireless network name. Go to wireless security sub tab. Check the wireless security mode and make sure that you have the correct password of your wireless network. Go to Wireless MAC address filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled.
Try to connect to the wireless network again and see if that works.

Problem connecting to same game server, WRT54G router.

Hello I have a WRT54G router, me and my brother cannot play on the same game server on Team Fortress 2. It kicks the person already in the server when the other person joins and gives a connection issue. We think the game server cannot take the same IP twice in the same server.
We checked IPs on ipchicken.com and we're sure the router giving us the same IP is the problem. If it matters we're connected with ethernet cords, not wirelessly. Is there any way to change the IP addresses or fix this?
Thanks, Matt

The game server will only see the single IP address assigned to the modem or router by your ISP, and won't see the individual computer's locally assigned addresses.
So, unfortunately I see no way around this without subscribing to a separate internet connection with your ISP.

Need help connecting an iPod Touch to WRT54G

I have a WRT54G version 6 router. My laptop finds the network and connects easily. My new iPod Touch finds the network, I enter the password (I'm using WPA), it looks like it is connected, but all the settings are blank. I have used the iPod at a coffee shop with wifi, so I know it can work. What do I need to do?

Try to use WEP Security on your router as your IPod must not be configured to accept WPA securty...Once you set WEP security , if prompted for a wep key on your IPod enter a dollar sign($)and then enter your wep key and attempt to connect, if it does not connect just enter the wep key without the dollar sign and it should connect...

Connecting Two Wired Networks with WRT54G

I have a server (IP 40.1.238.27) that I need to connect to clients (IP 40.52.2.59,.60). I have a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. The chap I was chatting with at support says it is possible but could not tell me how to do it. He mentioned Advanced Routing but I couldn't figure out how to do it.
Does anyone know?
Thanks,

Let me know the other network settings ... such as Wireless settings & connection type ...
