OSX 10.4.6, 10.4.8 Not Connecting LinkSys WRT54G

Problem:
MacBooks running 10.4.6 and 10.4.8 don't connect to the internet, wired or wireless. Problem appears to be in DHCP. MacBooks only show the 169.124.167.29. Linksys shows the Mac has been issued a 192... address. If I manually enter the 192... on the Mac I can get the linksys admin page but still no internet.
On 10.4.6 I seem to get a wireless connection but no DHCP.
On 10.4.8 I get nothing.
Everything works with Windows and with Linux--wired or wireless--everything.
The Macbook with 10.4.6 used to work wireless before I upgraded the linksys firmware.

If I manually enter the 192... on the Mac I can get the linksys admin page but still no internet.
By typing that into Safari or such, that means you're connected to the Router at least, but you need to use that number for the Router setting in Networks>TCP/IP>
Try full Manual setup there, (not DHCP with Manual Address)
IP: 192.x.y.z where x and y are the same as the Router's IP, and z is a different number than any other z numbers on the Router... 5 above another one you find should work.
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.whatever got Safari to open the admin page.

Yosemite OSX Server 4, pushed printers show as 'not connected'

I am using a Mac Mini on Yosemite with Server 4 primarily as a profile server. It's pushing out two printers to clients, both Ricoh MP 3503's with the latest drivers. Clients receiving the printers from the profile server get "Printer not connected" when printing to them. When you add the printer locally, either by IP or as a managed printer on the server, clients can print just fine.
The printers and server are in the same subnet but clients are in another. You can discover the printers through the Mac Mini server, or by adding them by IP and again, printing is just fine. If the printer is added through the profile server, you get 'Printer not connected", something about adding them from the client vs. pushed through a profile is affecting whether or not the client can see the printer.
I've tried resetting the printer system locally and on the server, verifying reachability between the client and printers, adjusting the domain on the printers so they're in the same domain as the clients.

A lot to check for!
All my users are "Local Network Users" setup in what is now Server 4.03 (as of a few days ago), not Local Users.
Ours are Local Users - but I would argue strongly against this being a factor.
My usergroup is also a "Local Network Group", not a Local Group.
Ours are Local User Groups - but I would argue strongly against this being a factor.
I believe you can print from your server as your clients can when the server is sharing - but just to ask, can you print from the server?
You are correct. I can print directly to the printer, or I can print through/on the server without any problems. Yes, I can print from the server. Both as a client that's added the server's shared printer or as a local user on the server.
Under Sharing menu in System Preferences on the Server, is Printer Sharing OFF (it is off for me).
No, it is on. Presently, the server is sharing out the printers for discovery because clients are in a different subnet. They cannot discover the printers on their own. The printer has an IP in both the printer subnet and the client subnet.
We use the Mac Server for DNS and DHCP, so that printer is statically assigned on the server, just sayin'.
With all I've heard about DNS, I was thinking hard on this but I don't think it's a factor. We use a Windows 2012 server for DHCP and DNS.
Take a look at this screenshot below - it is of my Profile Manager where that printer "Fiery" works fine passing to the clients.
Yes, what about it?
Could it be a router port problem? On our router, an Airport Extreme, we have opened up Printer Sharing ports, see screenshot below.
No, because we don't segment our network. I can add the printer directly to my client machine and print to it without issue - I just can't discover it because I'm in a different subnet then the printer. The server acts as an intermediary, I can discover the server's shared printers because the server is in the same subnet as me.
On my Printer Options - I will open a thread, it is just that you had some experience and I wanted to hear about it and I may not have under another thread (you would have no reason to have looked for it). Anyway, I will open a thread, thanks for letting me know your experience with "Options"!
I appreciate it! I'm just trying to keep a convoluted problem as clear as possible. I am nearly positive your issue has to do with the printer driver you have installed on the server. The clients get the driver from the server, we used to have ours show up as 'generic printer', but then downloaded a different type of driver, PS is generic, PCL6 showed up as specific.

Xbox 360 will not connect to WRT54G Wired connection

OK I just bought a xbox 360 and the Linksys wrt54g router I updated the firmware on the router and have 2 pcs currently connected and working great i also have a wii connected wirelessly and it works great.
I connected the xbox 360 to the router and it doesnt even detect that its connected. Ive tested the cables tried 4 different ones and nothing i unhooked the router and just ran the xbox 360 to the cable modem and it worked fine so i know its not the xbox or the cables its the router thats giving me probs. i called linksys was on the line with them for 2 hours and they couldnt tell me nothing. Ive read that ppl have this router and there xboxs work fine
on microsofts site this router is listed as compatible. im lossing my patience and getting very mad about this.
no lights come on the router and the xboxs say the cable is not connected when running to the router but when connected direct to the cable modem works fine.
can someone please help or shed some light on this i would be greatful
thank

I amp having the same problem. I tried what you had said about using the xbox settings but no luck. I found a link that told me to open these ports:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/mediacenter/firewall.mspx#EMG
It says Inbound and outbound, but I have no idea what that means. I basically went to Port Range Forwading (I have the BEFSX41 wired router by the way.). It would only allow me to put in 10 . Also there is no incoming and outgoing!!?? So if there was just 1 number for the port I put that number in both Start and end, and if it had 2 number I put the 1st one as start and the second one as end.
Can anyone help me. This is redamndiculous that a person has to go through this much trouble to hook up an xbox 360.
Also I have a SD216 switch. I don't know if that matters at all.

I have a 13" mac book osx version 10.6.8 that will not connect to my router, all software and firmware are up to date.

any one have similar problems?

also, all other devices will conect to the router via wifi or ethernet.

I'm doing EVERYTHING it says and it still says router is not connected!WRT54G V5

Im doing exactly what it says, the cord connecting the modem to the router is in the internet slot and the cord connecting the router to the computer is in slots 1-4 and it still says that no router was detected! What's going on?!

does the led on the computer nic light up and what color is it if it does ?
also does the led on the router for the port your computer is connected to light up showing there is a nic connected ?
if not, double check the wireing on the cable you connection with.
the leds on both must light up if the connection is correct.

Software Update not connection in OSX Lion

I am using 2008 macbook, intel core 2 duo, 2.4 Ghz, i recently installed OSX Lion, after installed software update is not connecting with apple server.
now i am only updating via manually

Sorry for the delay in replying - I spoke to Apple support yesterday and they advised a repair disc & permissions, and a fresh install of Mountain Lion through Recovery Disc. That pretty much tied up yesterday, but to no avail. It still doesn't work.
So - back to Console. I went where you suggested and this is the message it threw up:

Any ideas? I notice a reference to My TomTom in there which relates to the GPS SatNav we use. Not sure if that is an issue - some kind of software clash?

I have the same issue with almost exactly the same environment...
iPhone4S (32GB) running iOS5.0
Windows 7 Enterprise
iTunes 10.5.2.11
iPhone has been set up to wirelessly sync when on charge yet I get this error when the iPhone is not even charging!
I work for a mobile network operator and although this isn't something we support anyway, we would usually stumble across something like this when customers call us for advice prior to contacting the manufacturer for support, yet this hasn't been a call driver so I'd imagine this is isolated... (either that or not many people have updated their device and set up the wireless sync lol)...
Hey Apple! Any ideas? :-)

You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

CS5.5 and OSX 10.9.4: Most applications will not launch even after uninstalling and reinstalling the Creative Suite 5.5. After my 2011 MacBook Pro 17 died, I had to purchase a new MacBook Pro 15 to replace it. I performed a Time Machine installation from that 2011 machine, and only Distiller and Acrobat would launch (none of the rest of the creation apps). So I ran the CS5.5 installer, uninstalled, then reinstalled, producing the same result. When I try to launch, nothing happens. What next?

Mac not connecting to a wifi network when trying to reinstall OSX using Internet recovery

Hi guys. I'm using a Macbook Air(late 2010 model) and seem to have some trouble reinstallling OSX 10.8.5 using Internet recovery. When I'm trying to reinstall the OS running the recovery mode, the wifi is not connecting. After some trials I noticed that when I run the recovery mode, the network settings are automatically going back to defualt ( I use manual IP address and everything but in recovery mode it falls back to 'Using DHCP'). Just let me know if I'm supposed to provide any other information. I request everyone to help me with this. Thanks in advance.

I reccomend to set ur router back to dchp and after you are done with recovery set it back to manual ip. Or if you have the DMG of the ur installation, create a bootable installation disk. Several tutorials on youtube based on your OSX version and reformat that way.

I downloaded Lion OSX and at the end I received a notice that Safari can not connect to Server. All internet connections work including Safari on other user on same computer. I downloaded 13items and installed only 12. What do I do now ?

IMac OSX 10.9.5 Shows Brother MFC 8710DW Printer Is "Offline" and "Not Connected T

I have a Brother MFC 8710 DW that I've had for the past 4 months. It works perfectly fine with my other devices (iPad, iPhone, Windows PC and Macbook Pro) but it doesn't work with my iMac OSX 10.9.5. I did the things listed below but it keeps on telling me that the printer is not connected to my computer and whenever I check its status, it keeps on saying "offline." I've tried to contact Apple and they said that it's Brother's problem and that I should speak with them. However, when I called Brother, they said that it's Apple's problem. I'm at lost on what I need to do. As much as I love my iMac, I am tempted to return it back. Please help.
Things I've done so far but did not fix the problem:
1. Unplugged the printer, iMac and router and plugged it back in after a few minutes.
2. Removed the printer from my iMac and added it back.
3. Reinstalled the software from Brother.
4. Repaired the disk.
5. Plugged the printer and router directly to the wall.
6. Turned off and restarted my iMac and printer.
7. Downloaded the most recent OSX software.

It sounds unusual that you have been able to remove the Brother from Printers & Scanners on the iMac and add it back again, yet get a printer offline message.
Since you mention a router, is the Brother connected to it via a physical cable, such as USB? Or do you have a wireless router and the printer is connected to it via WiFi?
On the iMac, could you also open System Information (located in Applications > Utilities) and select Printers in the left column. If the Brother is the only printer on the iMac then its information will appear in the right pane. If you have more than one printer, then you will have a list of those printers in the top right pane. Select the Brother to see its information in the bottom right pane. Can you copy this information and paste back here. And since the MacBook Pro is printing okay, can you perform the same action on it so I can compare the setup for the same printer.
