Trouble connecting laptop to WRT320N

Hello All,
I decided to upgrade my router today to WRT320N. I connect to 2 wired computers, 3 wireless computers and an HP network printer on a home network. I have been able to get the wired machines and the printer going just fine with the Windows Vista and Linksys software. I have been unable to connect the laptops wirelessly. I have used the Network Magic program, the Vista Network program, and the HP Wireless asst without luck. I have tried using auto detect on the router, connecting directly from the computer to a wireless network and using the Network magic programs, incl manual connect and loading the settings on a USB device and trying that on the computer to be connected. I am at my wit's end! Any stepwise ideas out there about steps to take? I've restarted Comcast cable modem x2 and the router x4, and all the computers at least once. Thanks.
Tom Brown

Hi, do you have Network Lock enabled? If yes, disable it then try connecting your laptops.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

Trouble connecting laptop to wireless

I have a wag54gs installed and a wireless adaptor on main pc. Had trouble with security and could only use laptop wireless with security dissabled. Ive had some help regarding security its all set up again and wireless is working on main pc. Laptop however wont connect now on wireless, says aquiring address or limited /no connectivity but works fine if i attach the ethernet cable and use security. Tried checking setting are the same but must be missing something., probably something simple. Any help would be appreciate.

WRT160Nv3 trouble connecting laptop using Vodafone secure remote acces

I have a WRT160Nv3 router installed at home. My home laptops, gameconsoles and iPhone could be connected thru Cicso Network Magic. To get my netgear WGPS606 printerserver connected, I had to disable my windows firewall, connect it with CNM and enable my firewall. This works fine now.
Yesterday I got a laptop from my boss. This laptop has Vodafone Secure Remote Access installed in order to connect to (home) networks or with a HSDPA-card. On my homenetwork I can't get a proper connection thru VSRA, Network Magic doesn't see the laptop as a new device so it can't regocnize the mac-adres. I can connect with the windows tool but then my connection is not secured and I can not use my laptop on the company network. I've tried disabling my firewall (as I did connecting the printerserver) but this didn't work.
Anybody any suggestions?

If your Wireless Network is Secured or its an Unsecured Wireless Network ? If you are able to connect to your Wireless Network using Windows Utility then its not the problem with the router. If your Computer has any other wireless Utility and if you are trying to connect to your wireless network using that Utility are you getting any error message while connecting to your wireless network?
While using VSRA on your computer are you getting any error message?
If you need to know the MAC Address of your Computer then on your computer click on Start - RUN - CMD and click Ok... In the Command Prompt window type "ipconfig /all" and hit enter and under "Wireless Network Connections" you will find the MAC address of your Wireless Network Adapter.
So if you have enable the Wireless MAC Filter on your Router then you can Input that MAC on your Router and click on Save Settings.

Trouble connection Laptop with Router

Linkysys Cisco Wireless-N WRT160N, My connection is fine, My sons laptop will not show my router in his connections. At times it will, and then at times it won't. Most of the time when it shows, he can not connect. We both have Network Magic, when having Network Magic try to fix the connection it never works. I have added his laptop on my devices. He has no problem connection with his Xbox. just the laptop, I am at a loss of what to do. Thanks

I assume that you are loosing both your wired and your wireless connection at the same time. Is that correct?
The most common cause for this is peer-to-peer (P2P) software. If you are running P2P software, go into the program and reduce the number of connections that the program makes.
If this is not your problem, please give more details. Also, please include your router model and version, ISP, the make and model of your modem, and how your system is set up.

HT2497 Using Time Machine for home wifi just fine. Switched to cable modem from DSL. Now having trouble connecting laptops to wifi. ISP says it is not their fault. Mac books won't connect on their own.

Changed from DSL to cable modem. Now Mac book pro won't connect to wifi - Time Machine?
One Mac ok, other not. Help?

Thanks. We have been using an existing Time Machine for wifi. Cable modem replaced DSL router and was hooked up to Time Machine. What's odd is that 3 computers and iPad2 are connecting to home wifi just fine, using exact same network and password as before. My Mac book pro and an older iPad are not. IPhones are also connecting to home wifi just fine. I managed to get my Mac book pro hooked one time by copying ip address from a Mac that was working (entered manually) then turning that one off. That's not what I need.
The error message is "no ip address".

Trouble Connecting Laptop to WRT54GS

this happens every time the power goes out. last time. i somehow managed to reconnect, but this time i have no idea what to do! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!! i went into the connection properties and changed my IP address and located the network to put in the WEP key. it did nothing... what should i do?

Hey there, ilumtli!
You says you've changed the IP Settings of your computer? You don't need to do that actually. I need to have your answers for these questions I have in mind.
1. What is the version number of your router, you could find it at the bottom part of the device and it's usually located beside the model #; ex. WRT54GS v6. 2. Aside from this wireless computer of yours which is not working, do you have a computer which is physically connected to the router? If there is, is it able to get online?

Hi:
There are no dumb questions...answers, yes, but not questions. Sometime I use acronyms and forget that I should explain things a bit more.
Resetting those two things sometimes helps and cannot hurt.

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. It is not an issue with the service/router. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport... anyone know what's up with this?

I am having trouble connecting to my network all of a sudden. I am able to connect to other networks but not my own. It is not an issue with the service/router because other devices connect fine. I keep getting kicked off and getting a ! in my airport. Last time it happended I called apple and the suggested I wipe my HD and reinstall everything. I did and it did not work. One day I turned my laptop on and it connected no problem. Now it has kicked me off again. I tried resetting my IP address but that does not work either! Has anyone had this problem?

Try this:
Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
Click Location: and select Edit Locations..
Click + (plus sign), and enter a name for the new location - anything will do.
Apply this.

Connecting laptop to nokia E71

Hi i just got a Nokia E71 from straight talk i was wandering if i could use it to connect my laptop to the internet if so how can i do that. I have downloaded pc suite on my computer but its having trouble connecting to the internet. Thanks in advance for the help

Hi, check out this tutorial first to make sure you do it the correct way: http://europe.nokia.com/support/download-software/pc-suites/how-to/connect-to-the-web
If your device is brand new, I would check that you have the right internet acces point settings installed in your device. If you are missing internett and mms settings, you should usually be able to get them from your service providers internet site. If you cannot find it there, give them a call.
You will have to connect using your service providers net on your phone, beware of that if you don't have a surf plan, I would check out the costs.

Hi All, hope you can help, why do I have trouble connecting to free wi fi, especially at McDonald?

Hi All, can someone help please. Having trouble connecting my iPad to free wi if at caravan parks and also at McDonald, I have no such problem connecting my laptop. Thank you.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

HT5569 I am having trouble connecting to wifi can you help.

I am having trouble connecting to wifi can you help.

connectng with a pin # will not work with the ipad. you need to find out exactly what the actual wifi password is.
pin and push buttons are used by wifi protected setup. which is an optional feture of WPA
here are some ideas
go to the routers home page (typically 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.254) and see if you can click on "show password"
get the manual out, it should have the default user name and password you may need to access the routers page
if your windows computer connects, then you should be able to right click the wifi connection and click on show password as well. this is somewhere in the properties page of the wifi connection
also with windows its a good idea to click on "save wifi connection to usb drive" this can be used to connect other windows computers and xbox game consoles as well
if your laptop computer is a mac book you can go to the keychain or icloud keycahin and reveal the actual passowrd as well.
look at the actual router it might have directions on a sticker on how to access the routers configuration pages
if you enter the wrong password on the ipad you need to forget the network and try again

Trouble connecting to AFP over VPN

Hi All,
I regularly connect to my office server via VPN and use an AFP connection to mount share points (or VNC to share the screen).
Via the same VPN tunnel I also connect to my desktop machine at work using AFP or VNC. Recently, after upgrading my office desktop computer to Yosemite I began having trouble connecting from my home laptop (MBPR running Yosemite as well). I try to connect and get the message "There was a problem connecting to the server xx.x.x.xx" HOWEVER, using that very same VPN connection I am always able to connect to the server at work; just not to my desktop now.
Both the office server and my office desktop have fixed IP addresses and are on the same subnet etc. At one point I was able to solve the problem and the AFP connection to my office desktop machine worked again for awhile, but then once again stopped working. I've checked that our VPN is assigning valid IP addresses to my client at home, but it still is problematic.
I'm pretty familiar with our whole system since I'm our low-rent IT guy, and it has functioned smoothly for my team for years -- but I am not terribly knowledgeable of the deeper issues of networking. Because the issue arose after I upgraded my office desktop to Yosemite I feel it must be related to the new OS and how it manages file sharing or something (although I will reiterate that I did have it successfully working at a couple different times, it just seems to stop working for no apparent reason). Oh -- one more thing, I AM able to connect to my office desktop via AFP from other local machines within the office so I know it's File Sharing services are working correctly.
Any guidance or ideas welcome
- Keith

What's the actual exception message? Your URL looks fine to me, though maybe something is not right with the host portion, hard to tell. It could also be a database set-up issue (e.g., your Oracle instance right now is only accepting connections from localhost).
