Win 2k can't see internet via WPC54g

Trying to set up my friend's Thinkpad to access the internet wirelessly. Here's the config:
DSL cable modem/router with DHCP turned on ethernetted to Airport Extreme
Airport Extreme in bridge mode (doesn't act as a router)
I can access the internet wirelessly on the MacMini
I can access the internet wirelessly on the iBook
I cannot access the internet on the Win2k Thinkpad using the Linksys WPC54G 802.11g wireless card, although the laptop does see the Airport Extreme.
I can access the internet on the Thinkpad by connecting to the Airport Extreme via ethernet.
Please advise.

]I read your tech article, but how does that apply to Win2K (besides XP being built on the 2K kernel)?
Only Windows XP has native support for wireless networking.
Other versions of Windows do not have native support for wireless networking.
What this means is that, unlike Windows XP, you can not plug in a wireless adapter and expect Windows to recognise it and start working.
You will need to install some kind of software configuration utility that came with the adapter. Each manufacturer has their own software so as a result the process of using these utilities to connect a Windows (non-XP) computer to an Airport wireless network will be different and so no generic guide is available.
Having said that you may find the following information on things to watch for useful.

  • Internet Sharing:  Palm Device can't find Internet via USB to Imac G5

    None of the internet-using applications on my Palm Tungsten E handheld can find the internet, via a USB connection from the Palm to my Imac G5 and its high speed internet connection.
    I have 3rd party software (The Missing Sync 5 from Mark/Space) that is supposed to enable a USB-connected Palm device to share an OS X Mac's internet connection. But I'm not getting beyond the Mac and I think either something on the Imac or perhaps my Linksys router is blocking internet communication to and from the Palm device.
    Despite turning off the Mac's firewall and enabling internet sharing in the OS X prefs panes, neither my Palm's web browser nor its mail program can get through to the internet and all I get are communications errors.
    I would greatly appreciate suggestions as to what to try next as I have done just about everything I can think of to try to get this Palm to access the internet via the Mac
    IMAC G5   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   750 Mb RAM

    Hello Adrian - thank you for your suggestions. The USB-connected PALM does NOT show up in The Imac's "Network Ports" - - and the only thing I could add, as a port, that was not already there, was something called "6 to 4" -whatever that is.
    The Palm is supposed to be able to get its internet page requests out onto my router and DSL line via the Mac's ethernet port when: A) this Palm is connected to the Mac via USB and B) when the Internet sharing feature is enabled in a software app called - The Missing Sync, which it is, and when C) Internet Sharing is turned on in the Mac 'Sharing' pref. All these conditions are true, but sadly none of the internet apps on the Palm can find the internet .
    I suspect a DNS issue - even though my router of course knows the DNS addresses of my ISP.
    I should think that the PALM and the host Mac would have the same IP address - namely the one assigned via DHCP by my router when the Mac boots up.
    Very frustrating....
    I know nothing about Palms but I'll give it a
    shot...
    You say "Despite turning off the Mac's firewall and
    enabling internet sharing in the OS X prefs panes",
    are you seeing a USB option in the window? If so
    select it.
    If not try going to System Preferences>Network>Show:
    Network Port Configurations. (This with the Palm
    plugged in via USB).
    Is it in that window? If it is tick it and go back to
    internet sharing and select it in that window. (It
    should have now appeared).
    If it's not in System Preferences>Network>Show:
    Network Port Configurations; select 'New', and click
    'Port'. Does it appear in the drop-down list there?
    If it does, select it, name it and click OK. (Note:
    USB isn't a 'normal' option here but maybe your
    Missing Sync will have added it..?)
    That will take you back to the main Network Port
    Config window where you tick it if it isn't already.
    Then go back to Sharing>Internet to see if is
    available there. If is is, tick it.
    If it isn't, don't know. Sorry.
    Have fun!

  • Windows 7 Pro can't see Internet IP's after recovery from having WGA invalidate OEM license

    My Win 7 Pro receives an IP, can ping local IPs, can see right up to the internal router IP but cannot see the internet. Yes the network functions for other PCs.
    Important historical data:
    Some weeks ago my spare admin pc was rebooting after the usual monthly WAU when it failed to complete the last stages of installation of the updates (this would have been June 2014 updates.) Instead of booting normally to Windows, the system ran a bunch
    of registry change attempts and then booted to a black Windows desktop that contained the dreaded "You're a filthy pirate" message that Microsoft so gently slaps onto newly discovered Winhacks. The trouble is my Gigabyte/AMD powered barebones box
    was purchased, by ME, from TigerDirect.ca WITH an OEM Windows 7 Pro bundle. Now I should point out that I have suspected the Seagate Barracuda that was included with this machine as being a little off as the machine would occasionally freeze up or reboot itself.
    Instead of putting up with this HDD any longer, I ghosted the fractured build off of the Seagate and onto a new WD Caviar Black. On first boot the system seemed to work but the "pirate" message was still there. I then attempted to go through the
    recovery wizard and fix my license issue. The wizard failed and advised that the installation was corrupt and that I should reinstall. I reinstalled (not scratch installed) Windows and was rewarded by a successful install  minus the activation. I proceeded
    to phone the MS automated attendant and successfully activated my installation. I have a functioning network card but can only see LAN stuff. What the deuce? Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2 with  AMD Phenom II X6 1045T.

    You can try this:
    From administrative account, go to start, type cmd, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Click Yes, if UACD prompots. Now, type the following command and restart the PC:
    netsh winsock reset
    After restart, check internet connectivity.

  • IPhone can't access internet via home Airport network

    Hello,
    a work colleague of mine has an iMac at home with a single Airport Express unit through which he plays music. He connects his iMac to the internet via an ethernet cable. He has just purchased an iPhone with an Orange contract. His son also has an iPhone through his employer.
    Neither my colleague nor his son can access the internet with their iPhones via my colleague's home Airport network. Both iPhones recognise the Airport network, evidenced by the 'fan' icon that appears on their iPhones.
    (Hope the above makes sense.)
    I have emailed my colleague several 'help' articles, including those put out by Apple. My colleague has also communicated with someone from Apple (AppleCare I think?) but the problem persists.
    Both iPhones apparently perform okay apart from this one irritating instance. Can anyone suggest what is wrong?
    Many thanks,
    Bob.

    If it's an N Airport, I have heard that iPhones don't play well with N routers even if they are backward compatible with G.
    Otherwise, they could try going into Settings/Wifi. See if the network shows up. Try clicking on it and see if it connects.
    If that doesn't work click on the little arrow on the right side next to the network. This will reveal the network settings. Make sure that it's set on DHCP if that is how they acquire an IP address or static if that's what they use. If it's static, you'll have to put in the settings.

  • Only one of three computers can connect to Internet via Airport

    My partner made a change in airport settings when a problem with the router came up and I only partially have it fixed.  We have three different computers that have all been accessing the Internet via an 1st generation Airport extreme.  The Airport is connected via ethernet to the cable router.  One computer, the one that was used to set up the Airport originally, can connect to the Internet just fine.  The other two laptops can "see" the Airport network, but cannot get an Internet connection.  Do I need to reset the Airport and start over?
    Thanks for your thoughts.

    Your partner likely changed the AirPort to Bridge Mode based on the information in your post.
    Check the following setting on the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon
    Click the Internet Connection tab
    Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
    Update to save settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort to restart.
    Then restart the entire network again.

  • WRT350N can't see internet

    I may have bought the wrong product.  The box and online info said it included a WAP and I wanted to be able to attach storage as well.  I'll give detailed info so hopefully someone can get me straightened out.
    I'm running a Windows Small Business Server 2003 SP2 network at home.  The server connects to the internet via one NIC through HughesNet and to the rest of my wired network via another.  All client computer internet traffic is routed through the server.  Each user (wife and kids) has their own storage space on a RAID in the server that is mapped to reconnect when they log on from any client.
    Using the default settings on the WRT350N gets me access to the internet from the clients, but the mapped drives won't reconnect.  First online support tech wanted to change the router IP after disabling NAT in the Advanced Routing tab.  After disabling it I lost all connectivity and the chat session.  Reset the router and tried again.
    Second chat session was done from a client PC connected to the wired network with another connected through the WRT350N so I wouldn't lose connection with the chat.  This time I was asked to change the router IP and disable DHCP.  After the changes I was told to reboot the router and my server.  So much for a stable chat connection.
    Current network configuration is as follows:
    HughesNet appliance has a default IP of 192.168.0.1.  It is connected to the server and has assigned 192.168.0.8 to the NIC.  The server connects to the rest of the network through the second NIC to a multi-port switch.  The server has assigned this NIC 192.168.16.2.  Addresses from 192.168.16.0 to 192.168.16.9 are reserved by the server.  Clients are assigned 192.168.16.10 to 192.168.16.254 by the server's DHCP.  I have  3 UPS, 2 CD servers and a PDU assigned static IP addresses between 192.168.16.91 and 192.168.16.99.  The WRT350N now has a static of 192.168.16.10. 
    With the latest settings I still can't get to the mapped drives either by the assigned letters or by typing the full URL for the server space.  From a wireless PC, typing 192.168.16.2 takes me to the server's main page, and 192.168.0.1 gets me to the HughesNet appliance's status page, so I'm getting to and through the server and to the appliance.  Any attempt to connect to a web site returns an error saying I'm not connected to the internet.  I can see other computers connected to the wired ports on the WRT305N and the router itself.  I can also access the router at 192.168.1.1.  From a PC connected to the wired ports of the router, when I try to access anything other than the router's setup page, I get the not connected error.  Using Windows Explorer to look at the entire network, I see the wired and wireless PC in my internal domain, and the router in another network identified as MSHOME.
    Any direction would be greatly appreciated. 

    Update-
    After looking at posts for other devices, I moved the connection to my wired LAN from the Internet port on the router to one of the LAN ports.  I don't know if this is the correct fix or just a patch, but it seems to work.  I'd still like to hear from someone with better technical knowledge to make sure I'm doing the right thing.

  • AirPort Utility Can't See Extreme via Non-Apple Bridge

    I have an Apple AirPort Extreme Base Station serving my network. Connected to the APExtreme I have a non-Apple brand wi-fi router that's in bridge mode so that a few devices in another room can still get wired network and the upstairs section of the house that's too far from the AirPort can get Wi-Fi via the non-Apple router's Wi-Fi.
    It all works fine and speeds are fast. However, my MacBook Pro is one of the devices hooked up to the non-Apple via wired Ethernet. When I open the AirPort Utility it doesn't see the APEXtreme.
    Is this as expected or should it still be able to find the AirPort through the Bridge? If the latter is true, what's keeping mine from seeing it? Any suggestions?

    You need to spell out the connection.. is this non-apple device connected by ethernet or is it a universal wireless repeater/bridge.
    What is the make and model of the box that is acting as repeater.. also if 3rd party firmware tell us clearly what you are running.
    In most wireless repeater, client bridge setups you have a big problem.. as all clients behind the repeater look like the same device to the main AE. It cannot tell what is who.. and is also likely to have bonjour issues.. which is essential for things like airport utility to work.
    It all works fine and speeds are fast. However, my MacBook Pro is one of the devices hooked up to the non-Apple via wired Ethernet. When I open the AirPort Utility it doesn't see the APEXtreme.
    Try a manual access. Find the IP of the AE.. from something that is plugged into it.. if normal default router mode it will show, 10.0.1.1
    In airport utility have you
    1. Changed over to ethernet.. nothing will show without doing this.. it always defaults to wireless. In an extremely odd way ethernet devices are shown under Other Wi-Fi Devices.. isn't that completely obvious!!
    2. Ensure you have ipv6 set on ethernet to link-local only.
    3. If nothing shows up do it even more manually and type in the address you already discovered.
    No password is needed if defaults.. but also type in your access password if you changed it.
    You should then get the full summary screen.

  • Boot Camp with Win 8 Can't See The USB External Drive [MBR with NTFS, Fat32, HFS Partitions]

    Hi. When I boot to Boot Camp with the latest Apple Windows Support drivers can't see my USB Flash Drive, DVD and OS X volumes but not my USB external drive that has an MBR partition scheme (using iPartition from GUID) and in there it has different volumes [HFS when I boot to Snow Leopard, Fat32, NTFS]. What can I do with Boot Camp to make it see my USB external drive and why isn't it seeing the USB when it can see the USB flash drive both use USB?
    Thank you in advance.
    God bless.

  • I Can Only See AEBSn Via Existing Wireless Network

    I've been able to setup to set up my AEBSn without any problems, but when I try and access it I get an error messaging saying "There was an error joing the AirPort network "NetworkName".
    AirPort Utility can only see the AEBSn if I am still using my existing wireless network. If I select AEBSn for my network, the icon disappears from the AirPort Utility program. Rescan doesn't find it. If switch back to my original wireless network AirPort Utility finds the AEBSn again.
    In case it matters, my DSL modem has built in wireless.
    It seems like I'm able to see that the AEBSn is around, but I just can't connect to it.
    Does anyone have any suggestions that might help?
    Thanks in advance.
    -Michael-

    You should have the AEBS configured to work at 2.4 GHz in an 802.11b/g compatible mode.
    If the AEBS is set to automatic channel selection, set it to use a fixed channel. Try channel 6.
    Disable the wireless portion of your DSL modem. If the wireless part of your DSL modem can't be disabled, ensure that the DSL modem and AEBS are using channels that are as far apart as possible.
    If your DSL modem's wireless is still enabled, does it have a different wireless network name than the AEBS?
    Is your AEBS configured to operate as a closed network (SSID broadcast disabled)? If so, change that option. A closed network adds no security. The SSID (network name) is still broadcast to any connected clients and therefore easily discovered.

  • Can't access Internet via Ethernet port of 'n' Express in 'Extend' mode

    I just purchased the new Airport Express (AXp) n version for the purpose of extending my Airport Extreme (AXt) n version wireless network so that I can connect my old MacBook Pro (MBP) 17" core duo, running Mac OS X 10.5.2, to the AXp via an Ethernet cable when the MBP is stationary at my desk, in order to increase the maximum speed at which I am able to access the internet, from 54 Mbps for my MBP's internal wireless g card to 130 Mbps at which the AXp runs in the following configuration.
    On the AXt, I set the wireless mode to create a wireless network, checked off the option to allow this network to be extended, set the radio mode to n (b/g compatible), set the channel to 11 (works best for our house), and set the wireless security to WPA/WPA2 Personal. On the AXp, I set the wireless mode to extend a wireless network, unchecked the option to allow wireless clients (I have also tried this option checked, as well), and set the wireless security to WPA/WPA2 Personal. Both Airport bases are running firmware version 7.3.1.
    When I do this everything looks fine. My network preferences indicate that I have a valid IP address, and I am able to see and screen share with other computers on the local network; however, when I try to access the internet using Safari 3.1, I get a timeout error message indicating that the server I addressed is not responding. Then when I run the diagnostics from the network preferences, it indicates that my internet connection appears to be working correctly, and all the network status lights show green.
    Any ideas?

    Thanks so much for all your replies. I will try to address all the points in this reply.
    99, I think you are right, about Apple not supporting using the Ethernet WAN port as a LAN port when the AXp is in the "Extend" mode. However, I had read on the Apple website that it does support using the AXp WAN as a LAN in the WDS "Remote" mode, as you have verified with your older AXp, and which I had also verified with my new AXp. The only problem was, when using the AXp in the WDS "Remote" mode, the AXp ran ONLY at 54 Mbps, even when there were no additional wireless clients connected to it or to the AXt, which kind of defeated the purpose of using the AXp as an Ethernet bridge in the first place.
    The only way I could get an AXp bridge to run at 130 Mbps was to use it in the "Extend" mode or the "Join" mode. In the "Join" mode, using the WAN as a LAN works fine when connecting to the Internet, but I am not able to see or screen share with any of the computers on my local network. In the "Extend" mode, I am able to see and screen share with all the computers on my local network, but I am not able to get to the Internet, even though the Network Diagnostic tool reports that my Internet connection "appears" to be working properly, and it gives me all green lights (and as near as I can tell with my limited knowledge of DNS, all that information appears correct, as well).
    Bottom line, I don't think Apple has properly enabled the AXp's WAN as a LAN in the "Extend" mode, as they have in the "Join" mode and in the slower WDS "Remote" mode.
