WRT160N V2 - Web Browser unable to find home server using server name, IP address OK.

Hi, I have just got a WRT160N V2, it is working fine apart from one irritating issue. I am unable to browse a web server running on my local network by the computers (servers) name. If I use the IP address it works fine. Viewing my shared files and folders  with Windows Explorer using servers name also works fine. The problem seems to be limited to web browsers, I have tried Internet Explorer and Chrome, neither can find the server using its name, using IP address they can. I have checked NetBIOS settings on all connected computers and they are ok. If I switch back to my old Netgear router the problem goes away. So, it seems it's something specific the the WRT160N. This isn't a huge issue as I can fix by adding a line in the Hosts file. I just wondered if this is a known issue?
Many Thanks
Ian

The first thing that you can try is upgrading the firmware of the router..
Reset the router for 30 sec , reconfigure the router again and then try to setup the web browser for the server.

  • WiFi unable to find requested server...

    I have an 8120 Pearl and I successfully connected to my home WiFi network. But, whenever i try to access a website, google.com for example, I'm getting "unable to find the requested server". I don't have a BB data plan, but I shouldn't need one when using wifi, so what could it be? I have security enabled WPA and I'm able to connect using my iPhone and 3 laptops... does WPA have anything to do with it?
    The browser is set to hotspot browser and also here are my wifi diagnostics:
    WiFi
    Current Profile: HZ_wifi
    SSID: HZ_wifi
    Security Type: Pre-Shared Key (PSK)
    Local IP Address: 192.168.1.4
    Signal level: -49dBm
    Connection Data Rate: 48Mbps
    Status: Network acquired
    I've tried power cyclying the router and that didn't help, I am able to connect via wifi on my friends network so it can't be the phone, and its not the router, i can only think its that the two are incompatible, could this be the case?

    I do have the exact problem with my bold, I have my laptop and a nokia phone connected to home wi-fi and both working perfectly.
    the issue with the bold is that it connects to the wi-fi network but it works only for few minutes and then the browser says: "Unable to find requested server" and the Wi-fi mark changes to gray after i was able to visit few sites. i dont have or intend to have a data plan as I have access to Wi-fi connection almost all the time. I have tried resetting the router and it didn't work. Any one with the right solution???

  • I keep getting 'unable to find requested server' while trying to go on internet

    I bought the Blackberry curve last week and have had pblms connecting to home wi fi.  I have it all set up and the fone recognises the wi fi on it and only let me connect once to the wi fi. After that it keeps coming up with the message - unable to find requested server - even though it did work once the first time after I had set up the wi fi wizard.  I had put in the key.  Can someone help please.

    Hi gerrybl,
    Welcome to the Suppport Forums!
    Can you provide more information please?
    Do you have a data plan with your wireless provider that includes internet browsing?
    Are you able to complete all the steps in this blog post to connect to Wi-Fi? http://bbry.lv/oXh7oV
    Are you able to connect to any other Wi-Fi networks or Hotspots?
    Thanks,

  • Unable to find requested server

     have a contract with a data plan but when I try to use my wifi at home it says that I am connected but when I go to the internet brower it tells me "Unable to find requested server". This only happends on my wifi at home. My other devices work without a problem on my home wifi. What do I need to do to get my Blackberry Torch 9800 to work off from my home wifi?

    I had this problem untl I setup a Hom Network that included my smartphone which shows up with it's own separate IP address. My office PC is the host and it is ethernet or wired network. I have 2 wire gateway wifi modem and all is supported by my carrier. I feel confident if you contact your ISP and ask for help in setting up a Home Network your problem will be solved. Btw, make sure your wireless Customer Service is informed by their Internet Service Support and by yourself. Good luck

  • I received a message to upgrade my Firefox version . It went to successful completion but I get a message unable to find proxy server?

    After updating to latest version of Firefox i am unable to access internet. Get message Unable to find proxy server. This update also disable internet explorer so I cannot use it to access either. The desktop that I am having trouble with is running Windows XP Professional.

    hi, please check in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > network > connection - settings...'' if firefox is set up to directly connect to the internet ('no proxy').
    and maybe also run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

    i need the report server name to call a report
    thanks
    Edited by: vikas singhal on Nov 5, 2008 1:02 AM

    You do not need to do anything, if your Report server is on the same machine as the Forms server (which is usually the case) you simply use the url as
    /reports/rwservlet?report=myreport' and the server will automatically use the default report server.
    then you simply use
    web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet?userid=scott/tiger@orcl&report=myreport&desformat=htmlcss&desname=test.html'Tony
    Try it now

  • Web browser can not find my iweb page

    Hi there,
    I need some help. I published my website onto the internet,and for a while it was accessible. But since I have my own domain name, I am unable to view it on the web. Every-time I try to view my web-page an error message appears saying "safari cant open the page because it can't find the server"
    Please could somebody help me because I really need it to work!
    Thanks alot!

    Tom,
    I'm having a similar problem to the one below. MM is hosting my website through a personal domain name (Doteasy is the domain provider). The url of my site is www.saginor.com. The mobile me version is http://web.me.com/shiplair. When I type into my browser http://web.me.com/shiplair/Saginor.com I get to the site. But when I simply type in saginor.com I get the message, "Safari cant open the page because it can't find the server". I tried the suggestions you gave below and none worked. I also checked with my domain provider, and the forward destination is indeed listed as http://web.me.com/shiplair. I checked the settings in my MM account and the domain is indeed listed as www.saginor.com. Then I tried "publish all to mobile me" in iweb. It didn't work. I hope this is enough information for you to offer a fresh perspective. Many thanks in advance for your help. --Shiplair

  • Error message - Unable to find proxy server - how can I solve this problem

    When I try to enter some sites I get the error message: Unable to find the proxy server, Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that can't be found. This happened suddenly and I'm not sure why or how I can fix it, it doesn't help that most help site are blocked. Im using a Mac 10.5.8 and Firefox 15.

    You can check the connection settings.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network : Connection > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Advanced+panel
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
    See "Firefox connection settings":

  • Unable to find channel ID - using Test Message in RWB

    Hey all - we are using the Test Message tab of the RWB, and we get "Unable to find channel ID" as the response to our message being sent.  We are clueless what this means... since this is supposed to send straight into the engine, I'd expect something like "no interface determination" or sometimes similar - but we can't figure out what this error means.  This is the message we get, regardless of payload or interface chosen...  We even chose an interface that has already been tested & is running successfully into XI via the JMS adapter, so we know the actual path thru XI is valid. 
    Help is appreciated - I'm sure this is something silly we don't have set up that we need...

    We were hitting the Test tab after clicking the AF in RWB - you should choose the engine... it likes that much better. 

  • Safari unable to find Hotmail server

    I am about to scream.
    First, my Mail application on my MacBook kept saying that all of my email account's passwords were incorrect. Once I thought I had tackled that problem yesterday by visiting each email site to ensure my password was, in fact, correct, I get on my computer today to discover that my Hotmail account in the Mail app is unable to be connected. I try, then, to visit Hotmail/Outlook's website, and I keep receiving the error: "Safari can't find the server." I am trying to post a question/concern on Outlook's Support Boards, but that requires me to log in, and the "Can't find server" error keeps coming up.
    Is there something wrong with my computer, or is Hotmail/Outlook down for today? My important emails are sent to that account, so if it is something I can fix, please let me know ASAP. Thank you.

    See if Open DNS helps ..   Apple recommends it here > Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
    Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
    Click + and type:
    208.67.222.222
    Click + again and do the same.
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK.
    Quit and relaunch Safari then try accessing your Hotmail account.
    If Safari can access your account, then you should be able to via the Mac Mail account as well.
