No Internet Access on laptop but access with desktop

I have a WRT54G wireless router. The desktop has a wireless adapter installed and I can hit the internet.
I have been able to connect to the internet with the laptop until I updated drivers for the Bios. After doing that I can no longer access the internet.
laptop OS: XP Home Edition
Desktop OS: XP Home Edition
With desktop I can log into the router web page, but can not do so with latop. I can however ping successfully the router ip address 192.168.1.1 with the laptop. When I run ipconfig/all on the laptop, the DHCP Server is set to 192.168.1.1, but the Default Gateway is not set, and the IP Address and subnet Mask are set. Should the Default Gateway be set?
I can access the network with the built in wireless adapter on the laptop which is a Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN device.
Thanks

have u assigned any static ip address to the laptop....if so , ensure that u have entered the dns address as well...u can get the dns numbers off of the status page on the router ui.......
also , make sure that the firewall , if any , is disabled ..

Can't get internet access with WRT54G router

I recently purchased a used WRT54G. I replaced my old wired linksys router with it and my hosts are able to get dhcp addresses from the router, but they cannot access the Internet. I have tried to use dchp release and renew buttons under the status tab in the router's web-based gui to get a public IP address, but can't get one. I have attempted to reset the router to its factory settings, but I still can't get the public IP. I have no problem getting an IP and Internet access with my old router and the WRT54G works if I disable its dchp and daisy chain it to the old one. Maybe I need to do something else for a complete reset of the router. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

the router that you just purchased was maybe configured for a different network before that's why it did not work initially. after making the router back to its' factory defaults, you should reconfigure or set-up the router.. If you have CABLE ISP, enable ''mac address clone'' on the router's set-up page under the set-up tab. then check if you can get a public ip address after that.

You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
Thanks, John Lee

Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

Kernel panic / Internet access with a bad AirPort card

My iBook G4 started suffering kernel panics just over a week ago. They have rapidly increased in frequency to the extent that it can take several attempts to boot up because they have started occurring during the boot up process (originally they occurred after the iBook had been on for a while).
I've looked through the forum and have seen that there seem to be some common causes -RAM, AirPort card, or something to do with the HD. I ran disk utility on the HD and it didn't find any problems and I also successfully ran the 'repair disk permissions'. I have tried taking out the RAM -that didn't do anything. The kernel panic does frequently occur when I am either using Mail or Safari, but as I've said, it also occurs when I'm booting up -does the fact that it happens when I boot up mean that it cannot be the AirPort card (which incidentally is not under the keyboard -so it must be inside)?
Earlier today I switched off AirPort and was able to work on the computer for almost three hours without any kernel panic (but also without internet access). Less than a minute after switching it back on, it froze again.
If this does mean that the problem is with the AirPort card, I have a question about internet access. I use the iBook on a wireless network that stems from a modem with a Mac downstairs and I do not have any internet cables, or a phone line, in the room where the iBook is used. Is it possible to use something like AirPort Express even with a bad AirPort card? And does AirPort Express connect to the iBook, or to the main modem downstairs?
Apologies for so many questions and many thanks for any help you are able to give -this has been driving me around the bend for the past week?

Update:
An acquaintance who works for Apple suggested that before assuming that the problem was the AirPort card / buying further equipment, I should boot up with the original installation disk in and use the disk utility function to 'repair disk'. I did that and got a 'Volume Header needs minor repair' message. It repaired that & I restarted the iBook. I was able to do an update back-up to my external hard drive & all was fine until I switched AirPort back on -there was an instant kernel panic.
I figured that it couldn't hurt to run the Apple Hardware Test -did that and restarted again. Was able to open Mail (AirPort was on) but then the AirPort connection disappeared and the pointer froze, but there was no kernel panic screen. I had to force quit -restarted again. This time I was able to use Mail, downloaded a song on iTunes, and was on the internet for about 45mins before the connection disappeared and the pointer froze again. I could force quit the app but with a frozen pointer I ended up having to force quit again.
I waited a while and then booted up again (without problem) but this time I was told that there was no Airport card present! Shut down and reran the Hardware Test (which said that AirPort 'Passed'). When I restarted AirPort was briefly there but disappeared when I opened AirPort Utility and at this point the pointer also froze. I did force quit to get out of the app and then there was a kernel panic. Is this now pretty conclusive that the AirPort card is the problem?
I would appreciate any feedback -I've had a very frustrating week with this.
Thanks.

No Internet Access with Static IP and RVS 4000

I have an RVS 4000. I have several PC's to which I have assigned static IP addresses. I have recently upgraded most of the PC's to Win 7 (64) machines. I updated the firmware on the RVS4000 to 1.3.3.5 in conjunction with this. After such update (and actually before as well) I could not assign a static IP address to a PC and have access to the internet. It connects fine to my LAN, just no internet access. This is also affected on several other machines running Win XP and Win 2003 Server, so it's not just this computer.
I have:
     1. Shut down (powered off/unplugged) everything, router, DSL modem, switches, server, etc.
     2. As I said firmware is current.
     3. Yes, DNS servers and gateway, subnet, etc. are all correctly specified on the PC.
     4. Router is set for gateway mode.
     5. Set to only IPV4.
The only way it allows internet access is to use DHCP. I've even tried taking the IP address via DHCP and manually assigning the DNS servers and that works fine, but as soon as I assign a static IP internet access is immediately gone.
There must be something I'm missing, but I can't seem to find it.
Everything worked fine prior to the conversion of the Win 7 machines, i.e. I had several PC's with static IP's and no problems.
Any thoughts appreciated.

As an addendum, if I turn off the Firewall (internet access policy to disable) it will allow the static IP computer to have internet access. I have the DHCP range set to be .5 - .54 and am using a static ip outside this range. The Internet access policy is to restrict those PC's getting IP via DHCP.

No internet access with iphone 3GS ios5 personal hotspot

Prior to upgrading to IOS5 I was able to tether my Windows box to my iPhone 3GS. Now with the upgrade I'm not able to connect using the new Personal Hotspot method that was introduced. I can connect the phone, and actually see a network show up in my network connections but I get no internet access through it. I can ping the Gateway that the network gets but that's it. Can't ping the DNS server or anything else. Any ideas here would be very appreciated.

No Internet Access with Windows Mobile 6

I am running a wireless network in my home. I have been unable to get my new AT&T Tilt running windows mobile 6 to access the internet. The Tilt does connect to the wireless network, but no internet access is available to the phone. The wireless router is a BEFW11S4 V2. Any ideas on what I need to configure to allow internet access?

Software for controlling internet access with Airport Exreme

I'd like to find software that let's me control what pc's in the house have internet access at certain times. My iMac is my main computer, and I use Airport Extreme as my router.

You probably need to set the card up in OSX. Verizon should have a modem script that needs to be installed. (Hard Drive>Library>Modem Scripts). Then you need to set up the card from Network Preferences. Then it should work on both platforms.

My MP990 will scan using my Win 7 laptop but not with my XP desktop

I have been running my MP990 using a WiFi connection. I had to replace the printer with another MP990. I can still use the scanner function using the Win 7 laptop but not on the desktop XP. With XP, I get the following message:
Cannot comunicate with scanner for these reasons:
- Scanner is turned off
- Scanner is disconnected
(It is disconnected from LAN, if using on LAN)
Please check and try again
Scanner Driver will be closed
Code:5,145,55
Since it will scan using the Win 7 "Windows Fax and Scan" but will not work on the desktop XP, I suspect I need to re-install the software. I don't have the orifinal disk but I did download a couple of files: MP990soswin100us.exe or mpnx_3_0-win-3_05-ej-exe
Can I just run one of the above .exe files to take care of my problem?

Hi gooch,
I recommend installing both of the files you mentioned as one is the driver and the other is MP Navigator. The driver will get the basic files installed, but the MP Navigator gives you an easy to use interface to power the scanner.

Wireless wont work on laptops but works on desktop ??? !

I've had the Airport Extreme 802.11 for a few months now and haven't had any problems so far, but when I tried to go online on my laptop a few minutes ago, my MacPro couldnt find my wireless network! The green light on the airport is on and all other cables seem to be connected properly...
For some reason, the computer that is directly connected to it DOES have internet access...
any ideas what I should do?!
THANKS!

That has also happened to me with multiple laptops but it happens especially with my Xbox 360. SO i just pull the plug on the router then everything goes back to functioning normally
I love this router and i have played with many. this is my first piece of apple hard ware but i am eyeing a laptop in the near future and also i have a ipod touch that i really like.

Connecting a WRT54G v2 to BEFSR41. How do I do it to get internet access with both?

So recently I just bought a BEFSR41 to split the internet coming from a cat5e cable from the WRT54G so I can get internet on both my xbox 360 and computer, but I've run into a bunch of issues. First off, I've tried turning my BEF into an access point by creating a new IP, disabling DHCP and connecting it to a numbered port, but I can't get internet from that solution. I've called tech support to see if they could help but I just wasted 2 hours of their time because all the solutions they tried didn't work either. So I'm wondering if its my cable thats the problem. Its a CAT5e cable branched through my room to the office room I say about 50 to 100 feet away. I receive internet through this cable when i connect it to the computer but when i connect it to the xbox it doesnt even register an ip. Also when i connect this cable to my very old netgear router RT314, it can receive internet but it has trouble with connecting to different users. Any help will be much appreciated.

Internet Access with a Networking Card

I have a macbook pro (for about three months) that has VISTA installed. ( I have been a PC user for about 20 years and will need time to learn about the MAC operating system). I bought a Verizon USB720 card to access the internet nationally through VISTA on the macbook pro. There may be some software in the computer that prevents my being able to use this card. The error message in effect says that someone is using this internet connection. I returned the first Verizon card and bought another card with the same error message. Any ideas what the problem may be? Many thanks EKL1

You probably need to set the card up in OSX. Verizon should have a modem script that needs to be installed. (Hard Drive>Library>Modem Scripts). Then you need to set up the card from Network Preferences. Then it should work on both platforms.

No internet access with iMac

I have an Intel iMac. I have cable internet through Comcast. About a week ago I started getting "server not found" messages while loading pages, but if I clicked refresh the page would load. This occurred with Safari, Firefox and Internet Explorer. Then two days I couldn't load any pages, use Google earth, download software updates, etc. I called Apple and they said it was a comcast problem, but they came out today and hooked up a laptop and got an internet connection and later I hooked up my old pc and got an internet connection, which I'm using now. So the modem's working fine. The firewall is off. The comcast tech guys said they'd never seen anything like it and tried all the network preference settings. Something is not allowing the iMac to communicate through the modem to receive data off the internet. They said there's some kind of issue with assigning the right IP addresses.
Has anyone experienced or heard of anything like this and know of a fix?
Greg

I tried restarting everything (turned everything off and unplugged all cords from outlets) and it still doesn't connect, but oddly I get different results from network diagnostics and network status. In diagnostics I get:
Built in Ethernet -- green
Network settings -- green
ISP -- green
Internet -- red
Server -- red
And the message: Cannot find server. This computer appears to have a working internet connection, but cannot find apple.com. You may have typed the address incorrectly.
Network status reads: Built in ethernet is currently active and has the IP address xx.xxx.xxx.xx (note, I did get numbers but didn't want to publish them in case that's a security risk). You are connected to the internet via Built in Ethernet.
So, it appears the ethernet port is working fine, but something else is lost in translation between the modem and the ethernet card.
