Adding new Computer to my Home Network and I have a WRT54GS .V5 Router

I have a existing home network connecting a HP laptop and a Dell desktop and all is well. Now however I bought a new Lenovo laptop with the Vista OS with SP1 and I would like to connect it to my home existing home network. I know this might be a rather simple question BUT I am not great with networks and I set up my home network years ago and I draw a blank on how I did it. There is one CD I found that I marked with the words Remote Linksys Install on it and there is one file on it named NetSetClient. Not sure why I kept it and I do not remember what it does but might help in getting my solution.
Please help the network novice

As your linksys router is configured and its working on 2 other computers perfectly fine, so you dont have to run the CD again on your new computer. Is your new computer is a Wireless computer, So on your New computer, in the system tray, Right click on Two computer Icon and select "Connect to a Network".. selecte your Wireless network... type in your security key and click on Connect. After this try going online.
If you new computer is a Wired computer, Just plug in the cable from your New computer to the Router and you will be able to go Online.

  • N80 home network and WWW

    I have recently purchased an n80 and I am trying to get the home networking and internet functional through my wirless router. So far I have had little success. I have enabled upnp on my d-link router/modem . I have installed The simple center software on my laptop and uploaded files to share. I have setup an access point on my n80 and I have enabled sharing. The shared folders on the n80 have also been selected to share all files. The simple center software has been allowed to operate through xp's firewall. THe only thing I am not sure about is the port forwarding on the router. I have a trigger port and a public port in the applications gateway section of my router . I have entered the ports listed in the simple centers setting section (1900,49153,49154,49152). I have these numbers in both the trigger port and the public port on the TCP protocol.
    Occasionally I can connet to the internet. However when I close the connection down and try to start it up again sometimes it does not work , showing 'unable to perform operation'. The only way to re-establish the connection is to power the router down then backup(reset).
    The same goes for the home networking. I had no success a all on the first day of trying. Went to work. When I came back tried it again and it worked perfectlly ?? Now on the third day it is working ocassionally.
    Anyone else had simmilar problems ? If so any soultions would be appreciated ! The phone itself seems to be pretty glitcy. And battery life isnt the best either. Apart from that eh !

    Forget that - just sussed it out...
    I'm using v3.0617.0.6 (03-05-2006) RM-92, Nokia N80 (31.01)
    I can't seem to get anything using the browser - I constantly get "Out of memory" errors, even when trying to use GPRS.
    It moans something about "packet data" and then bombs out...

  • Added second laptop to home network and first laptop connection GONE

    Help! I have a WRT54G2 v1.5 wireless-G broadban router set up on my hard-wired computer (XP) and had my new Sony Vaio laptop (Windows 7) connected wirelessly. Everything worked great! Then, yesterday, I added a Dell laptop to the network and my Sony got kicked off the network. I have tried to "add a device" but when I click on the link to do that from Network Magic, I get an error page on the Internet. I saw that someone else had a connection problem so I read the answer posted to their question and clicked on the link and again, get an Internet error. I am connected to the Internet: I checked! What is going on? I need the Dell laptop on the network as it is my new laptop for my job. Help! 

    Let mw know the model number of router …also tell me the Operating system on laptop.

    Is there a way to share an Itunes7 Library on my home network ?  
    I have Itunes 7 with 5000 songs on Computer #1 Windows XP and I don't update to a later Itunes because I love the way 7 handles showing the library .

    even though I have set file sharing and set Computer #2 with the Music Folder on COmputer #1.
    Is there a way to make this work ?
    Thanks

    Home Sharing, which seems to be what you're describing, needs iTunes 9 or later.

  • I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
    Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
    Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
    The network password will appear in the box.
    Quit Keychain Access.

  • Why can't I use my brand new iphone5 on my home network in Mac OS 10.7.5 and where do I apply for a refund for my phone?

    Why can't I use my new iphone5 on my home network in MacOS 10.7.5 and where do I apply for a refund for my phone?

    If you want a refund, take it back where you bought it.
    As for the rest of your question, until you give us something resembling useful information, like what EXACTLY the problem is, and what error message(s) you're getting, we can't even begin to guess.

  • Windows not recognizing my time capsle - I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter).  I've downloaded airport utility...

    I just purchased a new computer that runs windows 8 and it doesn't want to recognize the time capsule as an external hard drive (ie doesn't show up under my compter).  I've downloaded and run airport utility, but it seems to have a hard time finding the time capsule...maybe one out of 10 times it will find it.
    What's more, when I look under network infrastructure under the control panel, it shows my Broadcom ADSL centurylink Router...so I'm wondering if my modem/router combo is overriding the router function on my timecapsule and the time capsule is not being used as a router...
    Any help much appreciated!

    In this case the TC should be in bridge mode.
    Win8 is still problematic. Try using ethernet instead of wireless. I think the drivers are poor still and it is well worth having a try via ethernet if you haven't already.
    Otherwise you will need to wait for apple to release bonjour for windows 8 and airport utility.. which is not out yet.
    Also make sure the windows is set to home, not work or public.. even turn off the firewall.
    Open windows explorer and type the TC ip address into the address bar.. (none of which is perhaps the same.. I gave away windows at vista.. shudder)

  • How do I print a document from my win 8.1 computer via my home network thru my win 7 computer?

    I am trying to print a document from my win 8.1 computer via my home network thru my win 7 computer which has the Deskjet 3054A All-in-one printer connected to it.  I can see the printer from my win 8.1 computer and when I send a print command I see the document in the printer que but it does not print.  I have not installed the printer drivers on my win 8.1 computer.  Do I need to do this?

    Hi GeneLund,
    I understand you have a Deskjet 3054A printer and are currently unable to print to it from your Windows 8.1 computer. I will certainly do my best to assist you with this.
    I just need to ask a few questions to start.
    1. Is your printer setup to print wirelessly from your Windows 7 computer?
    2. Are you able to print successfully from the Windows 7 computer?
    You definitely want to install the drivers for your Deskjet onto your Windows 8.1 computer, and you can do so by going to HP's website (just click the blue Next button and then download the option under Driver - Product Installation Software) and downloading the drivers. If you're printer is on the wireless network you should have no issues, if it's not on the network yet though that needs to be done first and it is done through the software.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!

  • How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors?

    How can I make my computer only recognize my network and not that of one of my neighbors? This is for when I am at home, and everytime the computer goes to sleep it essentially loses the connection, only to pick up my neighbors network when it is awaken.

    You can make your network the preferred network.

  • Home Network and printer sharing with XP and Vista

       I have a home network and printer wired on my PC desktop which runs XP.  My Vista laptop has been connected to internet and printer through the home network for past 6 years flawlessly.  However, since October my Vista laptop cannot
    connect to the network printer, but internet has been working fine. 
       I've tried to uninstall/reinstall, update drivers, connect via TCP/IP but printer isn't located by add printer wizard.  When I plug printer directly into laptop via USB it works fine.  I also have tried another xp desktop in the house
    and that cannot locate the printer also.     Help!
    Thanks in advance,

  • I have purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 and the old computer had Windows Vista  and was very slow.   I need to uninstall Adobe Creative Suite 3 and put it on the new computer.  Is this possible and what do I need to do?

    I have purchased an new computer with the Windows 8.1 OS.  The old computer had Windows Vista and is just about to quit working altogether.  I wish to uninstall it on that computer and deactivate it; so that I may install the software that I purchased (some years ago, but hardly used) on my new computer.  Is that allowed and do I have the right idea about doing it?  I have the serial number
    and all that with the software.
