AEX, DLink and PBookG4 Wireless Broadband

I use an Airport Express and D-Link ADSL router with a G4 Powerbook. I am having a lot of problems conecting to the internet. If I use the ethernet cable direct into my lap top from the router it connect immediately. When I plug router cable into Airport Express I am getting a conflict error message advising an IP address is already in use by the AEX. I get brief moments of connection to the Web but then the conflict appears and the connection drops out. I have done factory resets of the AEX and created a new network. The other odd thing is that when I create a new network in the AEX Setup utility it doesnt then appear in the Network options - it still only has Test and Automatic. Anyone gat any ideas. I'm a recent convert to Mac and not particularly impressed with this aspect of the kit.

1. Do a factory reset of the Airport Express per:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044
2. plug the Airport Express ethernet port into one of the LAN ports on the router.
3. pull power to the router and unplug the Airport Express from power for a moment. Then plug the router back into power, then plug the Airport Express back into power. Within a minute the Airport Express status light should go solid green. If it does not, post another message.
4. connect to your Airport Express wireless network by selecting it from the Airport menu of your Mac. It will be called by its default name "Apple Network xxxxxx".
5. run the Airport Admin Utility. Select your Express and click Configure. Then...
- under the Airport tab, rename your Airport Express from the default name to one of your choosing.
- under the Network tab, uncheck the box next to "Distribute IP addresses"
- under the Music tab, make any changes you wish
Update settings to the Airport Express.
Now reconnect to the Airport Express wireless network by selecting it (by its new name) from your Mac's Airport menu. That should do it.

You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

Wireless Broadband and Airport Express

Where I used to live I had ATT DSL and used my Airport Express to provide a wireless network and the use of my non-networked Samsung printer. My new address won't have DSL or Cable--but there is Verizon wireless broadband. Is there a way I can more or less duplicate what I had with the DSL and the Airport Express? I sure would like to be about to print without having to physically attach the USB printer cable to my MacBook? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello,
The idea behind the Cradlepoint CBA250 adapter (which I have not tested) is to create an Ethernet output from a USB (or ExpressCard) modem or a mobile phone. This combination would thus effectively replace a DSL modem that has been connected to a WAN port of a wireless base station. If your AirPort Express was used as a base station, and was working with a USB printer earlier (much like this), everything ought to be as before.

I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WU...

I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WUSB54G on my home PC for the last 2 years. It was working fine until recently I encountered serious connection problem.
The WUSB54G cannot connect with WRT54G.
Error message " Cannot assocaite with the access point.
I have checked the followings to try and solve the problem.
1) Refresh site survey the WUSB54G does not show my SSID, but it can show my neighbour'sSSID.
3) When I use my notebook with built-in wireless network adaptor to access wirelss broadband there is no problem at all. I can access my SSID.
4) I have try reseting the WRT54G and changing password but still can not solve the problem.
5) Uninstall and re-install
5) I have installed a new USB adapter (WUSB54GG) thinking that it could be the old WUSB54G is faulty. But still encounter same problem.
I am using Window XP Professional. What could be the problem?
Please provide your professional advice. Thank you.

Hi, Try to update firmware of router. You can get latest version from www.linksys.com/download, Hope it will help you

Can anyone explain why my Dell laptop and my iphone can "see" a server in Luton when using a wireless broadband (I get 20 Mbps download speed) but my ipad can not see this server and finds one in Milton Keynes which gives me 0.37 download speed.

ASA 5505 VPN and Sprint Mobile Broadband clients.

I have a strange problem, it's something that just started recently when we had a user try to gain access with a Sprint Mobile Broadband card. We have quite a few remote users, probably not more than 6 ever connected to the VPN at once, and I have not heard of any issues until recently. We are starting to require more travel to remote locations, so the use of the hotel internet, as well as Sprint mobile broadband is becoming more important.
There are a few issues here. Everything is IPsec.
Mac OSX with VPN client version 4.9.01 will connect to the VPN when connected to a normal internet connection, but as soon as it gets on the Sprint Mobile Broadband device, it connects for exactly 5 seconds and disconnects.
Windows XP Pro, has no problems with normal internet, on the wireless broadband modem, it will connect to the VPN, but have no access to internal resources or access to the internet.
Windows Vista, has issues all the way around, but mainly when connected to the wireless it has the same issues as XP minus the internet browsing.
Strange thing is, all these problems seem to been different, but they all started around the same time. I have been testing everything I can think of. Talked to Sprint, which the lady there was actually very helpful...just have to get to the right person. But nothing we tried did any good.
Does anyone know of any settings on my ASA that I need to change in order to get these types of connections to work?
The best part of all this is that my Linux machine can connect/surf/and browse the internal network through the VPN just like it normally would work.
Something has to be wrong with my client config settings that is causing this to happen.

Have you enabled NAT Traversal? (Both on the Client and ASA)
That would be the first thing to check.

MacBook Pro and Virgin Media Broadband (Router WNR2000)

Hi there...I'm having issues with my brand new macbook pro and virgin media broadband wireless.
I share an internet connection with 4 people wirelessly in a house..We have 20MB broadband, and have been supplied by Virgin with a netgear wireless n router (WNR2000).
My internet connection drops randomly, and I mean really randomly. Sometimes it is fine for a whole day. It is generally slower than my old laptop (Windows platform, hewlett packard) but the thing that bothers me mainly is that the connection drops. Today it has dropped loads, not helpful when having a long skype conversation.
I have rang virgin and they are completely useless, refuse to help because the other 3 computers (all windows based) run fine and they say it is a problem with the macbook pro. However, I have tested this very laptop with another virgin connection/router and its been fine. Also when my friend brings his macbook pro to mine he has the same problem - slow internet and connection drops.
Does anyone know of any solution to this??? I dont know what to do and im close to pulling my hair out.
My TCP/IP settings i'm not sure if they are correct...but everytime the connection drops properly, i have to restart the router and it is fine - when it drops i get a message on airport about a self assigned IP.
i can post my settings if required....
any help would be much appreciated
cheers

Hi there
Do the other people sharing the Broadband find that their connection is dropping.
You could try a router reset or check if there are any firmware updates. Failing that try a different router, I have a Linksys router WRT150N.
Just thought of something else, how far away from router are you. Wall composition is quite important, so is the positioning of the router to get best coverage.
thats about the best suggestions i can come up with. Hope it helps.

Connection drops with arch64 and atheros wireless

Hi, I've just installed arch64 on my desktop. I have a dlink dwa-556 wireless adapter, with atheros chipset. The card is seen correctly and has been configured. I started a kdemod install with pacman, went on for about an hour, and then it hung, the wireless connection dropped... I tried to start it up again, but only a reboot could help... now I started pacman again and after some minutes bang! connection dropped again...
this is what iwconfig says
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:CUT
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.432 GHz Access Point: Not Associated
Tx-Power27dBm
[cut]
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
[rest is all 0]
iwlist says my router has a quality of 30-40/100 and a signal level of around -76dBm
any help?

I think I may be experiencing something similar. I'm also running Arch64 and have the exact same adapter (DWA-556) and every once in a while my wireless connection drops. It only happens once every few days or so, but whenever it happens on my system it seems to cause anything Xorg-related (mouse, keyboard, video) to respond slowly. If I move the mouse around it doesn't move smoothly - it kind of jerks and jumps around.
Whenever the connection drops like this, I see the something like the following in /var/log/messages.log:
Feb 16 17:07:26 blacktower dhcpcd[19326]: ath0: carrier lost
The first couple of times this happened to me, I had to reboot to get the connection going again. I did find another way to get the connection working, though. What I did was unload the modules related to the wireless adapter, reload them, and then reconnect to the network. I wrote a quick shell script to do this for me, which looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
sudo rmmod ath_pci ath_rate_sample ath_hal
sudo modprobe ath_pci
sudo modprobe ath_hal
sudo netcfg -d home
sudo netcfg home
I'm using the madwifi driver right now and as you can see, I use netcfg to connect to my wireless network here. I've tried the ath5k driver but I seem to have the same issue with that. I haven't really found a solution to this yet, but the workaround of removing the modules, reloading them, and then reconnecting has worked well enough so far. If I dig up anything else helpful on this, I'll be glad to post it here.

Help on wireless broadband

Hi,

Proprietary solutions like LMDS and MMDS are doing just that. Actually, MMDS is more appropriate in your case. (LMDS - Local Multipoint Distribution Service,
MMDS - Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service)
MMDS is being used by Sprint Broadband to provide Wireless broadband in some areas, however, they stopped accepting new customers. Official explanation was that MMDS is not economical solution.
IEEE 802.16 is an emetging standard poised to replace MMDS/LMDS and promissing up to 155 Mbps in the 2-10 GHx lisenced and 11-63 unlicences spectrum. 802.16 is for building wireless metropolitan area networks as an economical method of high-speed (2 - 155Mbps ) "last-mile" connection to public networks.
802.16 was ratified last December. It may take another half a year to a year to see any GA 802.16 equipment on the market.

Firefox is showing "Server not found" when Fedora 14 NetworkManger is detecting ppp connection through wireless broadband modem

Hi,
I am using Wireless broadband modem. Network manager is detecting the modem and successfully acquring an ip through ppp0. But Firefox is showing "Server not found". I have found that /etc/resolv.conf is updated properly. And ping or nslookup on some url like www.google.com is working from terminal. So it seems either firefox is not able to use DNS or ppp connection. I have also tried by disabling eth or lo. But of no use.

See this thread: here.
However, please don't use 192.168.0.2 for the router but 192.168.137.2 instead. Home sharing uses 192.168.137.1 on the sharing computer instead of 192.168.0.1 as it was in earlier Windows versions.
To make the change, unplug the WRT from your network. Wire your second computer to a LAN port of the WRT.
Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/
On the main setup page, change the LAN IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.137.2.
On the same page, disable the DHCP server.
Save settings.
Unplug the computer. Now wire one of the numbered LAN ports of the WRT to your home sharing computer.
That's it.

Can't Activate AT&T Wireless Broadband

I have a new T61p Type 6459 that was ordered with integrated AT&T Wireless Broadband, using a Sierra Wireless MC88775 Network Adapter card.
Upon receiving the machine, I attempted to activate the Broadband Wireless using the Activation Wizard.
The Wizard does its thing, then says "The AT&T mobile wireless device could not be detected. Please verify that a device is enabled, powered and available. Ensure the external wireless switch, if available, is in the On position."
The switch on the front is On. Ctrl-F5 verifies the switch is on, and the Wireless Wan Radio is "On."
Called IBM EasyServ, and the machine was sent to the Repair Center.
When it came back, it had the exact same problem! Nothing had changed!!!
OK, called IBM EasyServ again. The machine went to the Repair Center again.
When it came back, it still has the same problem!!! The only difference is the Activation Wizard is wearing Cingular clothes instead of AT&T clothes. And, the driver for the video adapter is missing. Evertime the machine boots it runs the New Hardware Found Wizard and wants to install a driver for the video adapter.
It's beyond me how the people at the Repair Center can't do a simple thing like verifying a repair.
I can run the AT&T/Cingular Communications Manager. It says "Initializing" for several seconds and then says "No SIM." It shows 4 bars of signal strength from the cell tower.
I have a T60p that uses the Cingular Broadband with no problem, and activated with no problem, so there is nothing wrong with the AT&T/Cingular coverage here.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here???
This is a brand new machine. I suspect it was configured incorrectly when it was manufactured.
I have re-imaged the machine several times. I have checked that the SIM card is present and not inserted upside down, and reseated it several times.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Centex

Centex,
yes I meant the Sierra Adapter.
A hard drive is classed as a "CRU - Customer Replaceable Unit". You are permitted to exchange the unit yourself; i.e. if your hdd dies, rather than you having to send your TP in for repair, they just send you a new hdd. You swap it out and send the old one back. Doing something like this for diagnosis will not invalidate your warranty.
I understood from your first post that your T60p "uses the Cingular Broadband with no problem". My suggestion is to try the hdd from your T61p in the T60p and not the other way around, (if the adapters are the same). Swapping the sim cards can't hurt either. You can see how to remove the hard drives here.
I would actually try swapping out the sim cards first as it's alot easier. Take the battery out and you should see where it sits.

What are requirements for Installation of Wireless Broadband

I am getting wireless broadband installed next week and wanted to know what network card I should purchase and how to install? Where can I go to find the info. Also do most towers already ahve a version installed?
Thanks

First, welcome to the discussions.
You are getting Broadband Installed.
Wireless is determined by having a Wireless Router.
Most Internet Service Provider don't furnish a Wireless Router you will have to go out and purchase it seperatly.
Your Tower does have an Ethernet Card and will allow for direct plug in that will enable you to have the faster speed that you are after.
Normally Wireless connections are used for portables like laptops that are mobile and can be readly moved from one location to another with a minimum of problems.
It is not really necessary for you if you are working from a tower. You will not be moving your computer from room to room like with a LapTop.
If you decide however to make your system Wireless you only need purchase a Wireless Router to Ethernet Cable to your Internet Service Providers Modem.

Vodafone Australia wireless broadband not working on Tiger

Hi,
I just signed up to Vodafone's wireless broadband. It says the minimum requirement is panther or higher. I tried installing the software and got down to just 5 items more to install and it kept saying "searching hard drive" and not finishing the install. Maybe I have accidently deleted something it needs to finish the install hence the searching.
Has anyone else got it working on their G4 laptop? Would really appreciate some assistance on this one,
thanks,
Shaun

You might get a faster response speaking to Vodafone and/or wherevever you signed up for this service.
