G4 iMac w/ethernet connection to Linksys router - not happening.

Hi,
My main goal is to provide wireless service to a new Toshiba notebook. I haven't been able to do that completely.
I bought a Linksys WRT54G broadband router in order to connect to my Westell Wirespeed modem (Verizon dsl service) and subsequently connect (via ethernet cable because I don't have an airport card ) my G4 iMac to the router and transmit signal to the new notebook from the router. My iMac has always had connection when connected to the Westell modem but it now won't connect when wired to the Linksys router. Is it a compatibility issue between the iMac and the Linksys router? Or something else?
This is the way the Linksys instructions say to connect everything. I have tried many times to restart, power down, power up all the components.
Thank you.

Nevermind. When in doubt, call technical service...that's my new motto!

  • Would like to print from laptop to printer at home. Printer is ethernet connected to NetGear Router

    HP PAvilion dv1000, Windows XP
    Would like to print from laptop to printer at home.  Printer is ethernet connected to NetGear Router.
    I had been able to print wirelessly from laptop to HP 7310 Officejet all-in-one, but now all I get is "document failed to print" message.  I can get documents to print on this printer using my smart phone, but not the laptop.
    I have used "find printer" button on print screen and can see the printer to select.
    Any suggestions?
    This question was solved.

    Figured it out after looking at a few other posts...
    Configured port to printer IP Address and now it is printing perfectly.
    Thanks for having posts out there to review.

  • Airport will not connect to Linksys router after iDisk sync force quit

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help me here, kinda at my wits end.
    A week ago I was video ichatting and restarted my MacBook because the video feed was sluggish. I thought a restart would help.
    Unknown to me was that my iDisk was syncing. I recieved an warning dialogue box and was given the option of canceling the restart or force quitting the iDisk sync. I choose to force quit and proceed with the restart. After choosing to continue with the force quit I received an error message, it had the phrase "Mirror Agent" in it, and then my MacPro restarted.
    Since that first restart, I have not been able to connect, using Airport, to my Linksys Wireless router (model # WRT54 GX4).
    This is where it gets strange. Airport sees the router, displays a signal strength, shows up on my list of perfered networks...it displays all of the signs of a fully connected router but when I try to access the web, check mail or use iChat I cannot because Safari, Mail and iChat tell me that I am not connected to the internet.
    When I ran the network dianogistic tool, it first asked me why I would want to run it because it thought I was already connected. After running the tool it still came back with the same results, I was connect to the internet. But I still couldn't launch Safari, it just hung.
    This is where it gets really wierd. My wife, she's on a HP, can connect, using her built-in wireless card. Even after changing the Firmware on the Linksys router, her pc can still connect.
    And here's the icing on the cake. There are some unprotected wireless networks on my street. I can connected to those but not my own! Something has to be blocking the signal between my AirPort card and the Linksys router. Does that make sense?
    And if there is one saving grace to all of this, I still can connect to the web using the built-in Ethernet.
    Here's what I have tried:
    Removed Perfered Network, restarted MAC, added network back, still no connectivity.
    Removed security (was using WPA/WPA2) from the router still no connectivity.
    Removed Airport Keychain, restarted MAC, added router back, still no connectivity.
    Repaired the permissions on my HD, someone at work told me to try that, still no connectivity.
    Updated firmware to Linksys router to version 1.00.20, no connectivity.
    Rebooted Linksys router and cable modem, still no connectivity.
    Thank you to all in advance for reading my rambling note and forgiving my poor spelling (it is way past my bedtime and the keys are really blurry). I am still very new to Mac's and appreiciate any help that you can provide.
    Cheers,
    Alan

    Sounds like you have two wireless networks on the same channel.
    Change the channel on the Airport Express.

  • ASA 5505 Connected To Linksys Router

    Hello, I have a cable modem internet connection and my cable modem is connected to an ASA 5505.  The inside interface of the ASA has an IP address of 192.168.2.2 and is connected to a Linksys router's internet port which has an IP address of 192.168.2.1.  The Linksys router then has a local area network of 192.168.1.0 and all my clients are on that network.  Everything is working fine except in my ASA logs all the traffic shows up as the router's external address which is 192.168.2.1.  I would like to see the 192.168.1.x address of the clients in the ASA firewall.  I've tried making some changes to the Linksys router but that hasn't resolved it.  Is there any changes I can make on the ASA to get this to work?   Below is some of the config:

    The Linksys doing NAT is the reason why the ASA sees all the traffic as having source address as 192.168.2.1. The only way for the ASA to see the original 192.168.1.x address is to change the Linksys to not do NAT.
    One thing that I notice is that there is not a route statement in what you posted for the 192.168.1.0 network. It is not clear whether the route does exist and you did not post it or whether the route does not exist. But if it does not exist it would certainly be a reason why you lose Internet connectivity when you change the Linksys to not perform NAT. (the ASA would have no knowledge of how to forward to the network and would drop all the traffic). Try adding the route to the ASA and changing the Linksys to not perform NAT and let us know if it works.

  • Intel MacBook Connecting to Linksys Router

    Hey Discussions,
    I'm getting ready to purchase a MacBook. Currently, my setup is a G4 Mac mini that is wirelessly connected to a Belkin repeater (which is repeating the signal of a Linksys router). I've heard rumblings that Linksys routers are being funny with the new Intel processors. Now, since I do have that repeater and since the repeater creates a new wireless network in addition to the weaker Linksys one in my present location, would I have any problems getting the MacBook to connect to either of the wireless networks? This sounds like a problem that will have to be solved by experience.
    Thanks!
    -Mateo

    Hmmm...I hope it will be simple. But I don't know if the fact that I have that repeater creating an entirely new network will be to my advantage or disadvantage. I guess we'll find that out on Friday!

  • Hooking up AE through ethernet to cisco/linksys router

    Apologies if this is a repeat, tried searching.
    I used to connect my AE to a Belkin router using a "uplink" button on the back of the router. Everything worked till the Belkin fried one hot day.
    Got a new router - Cisco/Linksys "Etherfast" Cable/DSL router (non wireless) that does not have an "uplink" button like the Belkin did. Thought AE would be smart enough to adapt. Not so apparently.
    Simply plugged the AE into the new router just like the old one. I can connect to the routers setup screen wirelessly through the AE but cannot access the internet, which is connected to the router through my cable modem.
    If I plug the AE directly into the cable modem I do get the internet.
    Tried setting the AE to "bridge" mode with no luck. But not sure if I need to configure the DNS settings. Not sure how to do that.
    I've done hard/soft resets.
    Do I need a crossover cable? Apple says the AE does not require a crossover.
    thanks for any helpful info!

    It is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking equipment when changing components.
    Please try the following:
    o Power-down the Cisco, AirPort Express Base Station (AX), and computer(s); wait at least 10-15 minutes. Note: Power-down order is not critical.
    o Power-up the Cisco; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    o Plug-in the AX; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    o Power-up the computer(s).
    Simply plugged the AE into the new router just like the old one. I can connect to the routers setup screen wirelessly through the AE but cannot access the internet, which is connected to the router through my cable modem.
    By this statement, if you mean a wireless client connected to the AX, can access the Cisco's web-based administration pages, then the AX is (at least) getting the proper Private IP address from the Cisco gateway ... and, if this same wireless client cannot access the Internet, it is usually indicative that it is not getting all the proper IP address information from the Cisco ... specifically the DNS IP address information.
    Hopefully, the power recycle will fix this.
    Tried setting the AE to "bridge" mode with no luck. But not sure if I need to configure the DNS settings. Not sure how to do that.
    Bridge mode would be the correct setting for a router that is downstream of another. In this mode, the AX will allow the Cisco to provide both the NAT & DHCP services for the entire network ... either wired clients connected to the Cisco or wireless clients connected to the AX.
    Do I need a crossover cable? Apple says the AE does not require a crossover.
    No, as both routers are capable of working with either crossover or straight-through type cabling.

  • Can I connect another Linksys router to my current Linksys router?

    Hello everybody,
    I have 3 computers in my house. One computer which is used by my brother and he downloads a ton of porn, music, and opens a lot of ports for online gaming. Needless to say he is a very high risk user. I would like to isolate his computer from mine and my sisters.
    Can I use two seperate routers? One router which he connects to and my sister and I connect to the other router. Will this prevent any possible file sharing between my computer and my brothers? Is this a safe way to isolate my computer from his? Please let me know how I can do this. Thanks a lot!!!

    yes it is possible.
    Here's what you do:
    1. connect your computer to the new router (your router) to the regular port/s 1,2,3,4.
    2. Access the set up page of the router (at this point there is no internet connection)>> click start, click run typed in the run field http://192.168.1.1 and enter
    3. Leave the username blank and password is admin for the router (unless you changed it)
    4. On the set up page>>> you'll see there local ip address on boxes 192.168.1.1>> change it to 192.168.2.1, then save settings and power cycle your router.
    5. Connect now your router to his router>> to do this, run a cable from the regular port of his router to the "internet or WAN port" on your router. Reboot your computer and your router.
    ** on this way his computer should not be able to talk to your computers coz of the different IP address range**

  • Linksys Router not loading some pages

    I was using the internet on my new IMAC and it was running great. Very fast. I have now added Vonage to the mix and installed a Linksys BEFSX41 router to the fold and have my mac connecting using DHCP and the router logs into my server using PPPoE. Problem is, without the router in place and the mac logging onto the internet I can connect to ALL websites very quickly. With the router in place I can get to some websites but a lot of them Hang and don't load anything until Safari or Firefox time out. I have unplugged the Ethernet cable from the Router during the stall and it quickly tells me that the internet connection was lost so I know that my mac is sensing the internet. I have also removed the modem wire from the router and plugged the Speedstream modem directly into the mac AGAIN (going back to the original settings) and those same sites that lag, load very quickly. What do you think that the problem is?? I've been working on this for days now with no fix. If I lose the router then I lose my Vonage telephone. Info : Running an Imac 20" new last month, Speedstream DSL high speed modem, Linksys BEFSX41 router and a Linksys PAP2 Phone adapter.
    Imac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8) using speedstream DSL Modem, Linksys BEFSX41 Router, Linksys PAP2 Phone Adapter, Running Safari and Firefox with same results. BEFSX41 router has firewall and VPN Endswitch (Which I have no clue what that is or does)
    Imac 20" Mac OS X (10.4.8) using speedstream DSL Modem, Linksys BEFSX41 Router, Linksys PAP2 Phone Adapter
    Although this is a long message some examples are: Vonage website vonage.ca won't load at all. went to my scotiabank website and get the main page but when I click to take me to the login page that page won't load. There have been many others also. Linksys website I cannot get to the forums page but I can get to their easy answer page but their answers don't resolve my issues. I have not contacted them yet as I have read that they don't seem to want to support Mac users. (this may be untrue but I thought that I would try here first)
    Thank you all who try to help me in advance.

    The way you word this sounds to me like the linksys came with the vonage package. If so, they would probably be the best ones to contact for support.
    Aside from that, the first thing I would check is the version of firmware you have. Is it up to date? This is the most current version I believe v1.52.10 if I read the website correctly.
    Oh and make sure you check on your router first to see what version of the router you have. I see like 4 or 5 different versions listed ... ie ... befsr41 v1, v2, v3, v4, and v4.1. Get the right version of the product first before you download the firware update.

  • I installed an airport card in my powermac g4, how do I connect to my router (not an airport base.) How can I connect to my router?

    I have a powermac g4 quicksilver in which I have installed a normal airport wireless card in the dedicated slot. How can I connect to my router? It is not an apple airbase station but does it need to be? How can I connect to my router?

    What encryption is the Rouer using? If WPA2 you likely can't.
    Go to System Preferences
    Click Network
    Highlight AirPort and click Configure...
    What shows for Routers there? Or is Join Other Network availabe in 10.3.x?

  • Linksys router not seen by Airport Setup Assistant

    I recently started using a linksys router instead of and airport extreme, it's working, I am able to access the internet. But, my problem is I cannot see it in the Airport set up Assistant. I have not been able to setup my Airport Express because I can't see my wireless router.
    Any one have any ideas?

    Bronco46, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I recently started using a linksys router ... my problem is I cannot see it in the Airport set up Assistant.
    The AirPort Setup Assistant and AirPort Admin Utility are ONLY for Apple's base stations and therefore won't give you access to the Linksys router.
    You need to access the Linksys user's guide and follow the directions for using your browser to configure the Linksys router.
    I have not been able to setup my Airport Express because I can't see my wireless router.
    Configuring the AirPort Express (AX) has nothing to do with configuring the Linksys router. Configure the AX following the directions in KB 302153, AirPort Express: How to join an existing wireless network in client mode.

  • Connection Object Delta Load not happening

    Hi Gurus,
                 I am doing integration between ISU and CRM 5.0. I have achieved integration both sides for BP , Contract Account. I have also done initial load for Connection Objects using object 'SI_CONNOBJ'. We are able to see IBase getting created for the Connection Objects but when I change the data in a particular Connection Object it is  not trigerring Delta Load for the Object.
                Please help me for the same.

    Hi Aishuman,,
    Please check for the following entry in R/3 table TBE31:
    EVENT    IBSSICON
    LAND
    APPLK    BC-MID
    FUNCT    ECRM_CONTRACT_COLLECT_DATA
    which brings the delta change to CRM.
    Also,in CRM txn:R3AC1,check for the filter setting for object SI_CONNOBJ.
    Also,in R/3 table CRMRFCPAR ,make sure that for object SI_CONNOBJ(or *) for consumser CRM(or *),value of DISCARDDAT is not set to X.If set to X,would prevent delta change to flow to CRM.
    Also,check for the queue registration in txn:SMQR.If your queue is de-registered or lock is set,then entry will not be processed in CRM.
    Hope this helps!

  • 24" iMac can't connect with Linksys

    My new 24" iMac connects fine when hard wired to the Linksys BEFW11S4, but cannot truly connect by WAN. The diagnostics say that I am connected to the Internet, but the page (that doesn't come up) says that I'm not connected. The iMac is sitting right next to the router and our Dell laptop connects just fine. Any suggestions?
    I'll try calling Apple in the morning. I'm a little discouraged by the whole PC to Mac process. I don't blame Apple completely, but they are clearly not as ready out of the box as the ads imply.

    richperson,
    I disagree. The most likely explanation for you and
    others having a similar sounding problem is that so
    many are first time Mac users. For one thing, many
    first time Mac users simply do not take seriously the
    "Welcome" setup procedure that appears when they
    first startup their Macs. That setup will largely
    determine whether subsequent operation will be
    trouble free or not.
    Eh,eh, you should as well tell the OP that he's doomed...
    Since the Core 2 Duo is basically the same iMac as
    the prior Core Duo that released just eight months
    ago, it would be highly unlikely that there is
    anything new that must be conquered. If one looks
    across the other Mac discussion areas, it is common
    that wireless networking problems are as persistent
    an issue regardless whether the Mac computer model
    has just been released, or is a five year old model.
    Exactly...
    One thing I do know is that AirPort works basically
    the same in all Macs.
    or doesnt !
    Though I agree with you the OP probably did not configure properly airport authentification, parameters (or forgot to adjust MAC adress on the routeur or...), there ARE issues with wifi up to os 10.4.7. (I know of at least one bug more or less predictable and described it there : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=618964 . I still hope I'll get some feedback on a bug report I submitted about 10 days ago...)
    We won't know for sure why the OP can't connect wirelessly until he takes the trouble to detail exactly the configuration of the linksys and the steps he took... For all I know it could be an incorrect configuration (the most probable of course), a bug similar as the one I encountered or an hardware failure...
    But it looks like the OP came there to complain and whine, not really for help...

  • How to share iMac WiFi Internet connection without a router

    I would like to know if I can link my iPod Touch (new one) to my iMac so that share my internet connection via wi-fi via Airport at home without a router.
    I have tried to like my ipod touch to iMac by turning airport and setting up a new network, the ipod touch is able to pick up the wireless signal of my iMac ant the Airport status bar shows an arrow out which mean that airport is sending signal out but for some reason when I try to use Safari or Mail in get the following error message "cannot Open Page Page, Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet"
    Also when when scanning for wireless signal with my iMac I am able to pickup my neighbours wireless signal while my iPod Touch is only able to pickup my iMac airport wireless signal.
    What I am missing ?

    1. Open System Preferences
    2. Go to 'Sharing'
    3. Click on 'Internet Sharing' (leave the box unchecked for now).
    4. From 'Share your connection from' choose 'Built-in Ethernet'
    5. From 'To computers using' check the 'Airport' box
    6. Open 'AirPort Options' (bottom right), name the network. (Once it all works, go back and assign a password).
    7. Now, check 'Internet Sharing' box and turn on AirPort. The AirPort sign on the iMac menu should turn into an arrow.

  • Imac looses Ethernet Connection

    The Problem:
    We have now 3 imacs with ML 10.7/8 who started to get Networkproblems since 2 weeks.
    When you start the imac, you could work for 5-10 Minutes, and then you have no connection to the network.
    No error Messages appear. You must reboot the Computer and then you could work for 5 Minutes.
    The only thing i saw at the console is that the interface following messages:
    kernel: en0: promiscous mode enable failed.
    and then same message with promiscous mode enabled
    These Macs worked since 1 Year ´without Problems.
    We have same imacs with ML 7/8 on the same switch in the same vlan without any probs.
    The Environment:
    The macs are connected via Kat 5/6 cable to a switched Network with vlans.
    What we tested:
    We changed, the cable, the port, the switch, put the computers to another location.
    We changed from DHCP to Static IP.
    No Result!!
    What we noticed:
    if you start the imac in save mode, you could work, but this is no solution because paralles did not work.
    Put the mac in another vlan it works. But in the origin vlan there are no errors or problems, other macs with the same configuration works without any probs.
    Any Solution ?

    First update OS X to 10.8.4, the restart the modem and router. If the router has een used for a few years then check to see if it has the most up-to-date firmware.
