Attempting to connect daughter's laptop with a Neatgear wireless card

I am trying to connect my daughter's laptop to my network. I have downloaded Network Magic, etc.  Is there an easy step-by step tutorial or checklist I can access to connect her to my router? Network Magic is telling me that I have other network connection software and it has to be disabled before continuing (**bleep**?).  I am being driven mad. Just need to have a step by step list to get it connected. If necessary, I can delete everything (Network Magic, etc,. and the like) and start fresh if that is necessary. Any experts available to help?  Thanks in advance,
Forgot to mention that she is using a Netgear MA 401 wireless card.  Router is the WRG54S Version 7.

Which operating system you are using on the computer...?
Are you able to connect other wireless computer to your network..?
First of all make sure that your adapter is installed properly on the wireless computer..Go to the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar from the wired computer and change the wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz.Change the SSID (network name) to some unique name(not linksys)...Confirm the Network/Security key.Now,locate and try to connect the wireless network on the wireless computer.

  • Can WRT54G connect 2 XP laptops with different wireless cards, i.e. b and g,?

    My WRT54G router works fine with a lenovo windows laptop (Intel wireless 3945ABG card) and my dell linux box but it is not accepting my old T40 laptop which has a dual-band wireless a/b card.   The WRT54G box indicates this router accepts both b and g wireless cards. 
    Question is can this router  simultaneously  hookup these 2 laptops  or do I have to resetup the router in order for it to work on the T40?  
    as it is now, the wireless network shows on my T40 and it appears to 'take' the access key i input but then the T40 just 'hangs' trying to get into that network.   I have set the encryption key on the router to WPA. and i want to keep this.

    Make sure the computer that can't connect has DHCP enabled, Update the computer wireless card drivers, Check that the security you entered is correct.
    GoodLuck

  • My daughter added songs with her I Tunes Card and My credit card was charged, what do I do?

    My daughter added songs with her I tunes card and my credit card was charged, how do I get it off my credit card?

    What process did your daughter use, there is a specific format to redeem an iTunes gift card. The gift card must be redeemed using the Redeem link in the Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes Store in iTunes on a computer or the Redeem button at the bottom of both the iTunes and App Store apps in iOS. Redeeming the gift card then applies the value of the card as an available credit to the user's iTunes account. The credit is used first before any bank card also stored in the account. If the purchases use the entire credit and there is an additional balance due, it will be charged to any bank card stored in the account.

  • Help With Third Party Wireless Cards

    Hello, I am needing some help with third party wireless cards. I have purchased and installed the Linksys WMP54G wireless PCI card into my G4. From what ive seen on the discussions page here, this card is known to work with the G4s in place of the more expensive Airport Extreme card. The only problem is that my G4 doesnt even recognize that the card is in the PCI slot. Ive tryed the other PCI slots and still nothing. Previously, i have tried using a belkin and a d-link card that have been known to work in the G4s as well, and had the same problem. I am 100% sure that the card is seated correctly, and cant think of any other reason why it shouldnt detect that something is in the slot. If anyone can inform me what im doing wrong, or has any info on how to get it working, that would be great. Thanks for your time,

    Yes, i run Digidesigns audio editing program called Protools on my Mac. It uses a PCI card to import mic/line audio signals into the program from the hardware interface. I tried moving the Digidesign card and putting the wireless card in the same slot, and still nothing, although the Digidesign card works fine in the other slots. Each time i moved the Digidesign card, it showed up in the different slots, although the ones that were open did not show up at all. Only the PCI slots that are in use show up in ASP on my machine. I have the FW-800 version of the G4, so im not sure if that makes any difference. I have never erased the PRAM before, would you be able to give me directions on how to do that? Thanks a ton for your help. =)

  • Using Wired Connection on a Laptop with an adapter

    Hello,
    I have a Linksys Router WRT54GX2 connected wired to a Toshiba Laptop.  I have a Dell Laptop with a WPC54GX4 notebook adapter.  The wired connection has worked perfectly since the beginning, but I have had terrible problems with the wireless connection.  It will connect fine, but after 5 minutes or so, it will start to degrade and finally die.  I have other people bring their notebooks to my place and I have been able to duplicate the problem on their machines, so I know it is not the adapter.  I tried everything that technical support has told me, but nothing has worked and basically I have given up.  My question though is if I am using the dell laptop wirelessly and the connection dies in the middle of a download or something and I just want to disconnect the wired connection from the Toshiba and put it in the Dell, do I have to disable the adapter first or can I just plug it in as it is?

    Hai,
       I will tell you some of the steps you can try..
      If you are having a cable ISP provider means,
      1. Hard reset the router. (But not for all the time.. it will let the router to gone bad)
       2. logon to the router setup page .personalize your wireless settings.
           change the wireless ssid , channel -11
       3. secure your wireless network.. so that you can avoid frequent disconnection.
      4. upgrade the firmware 1.01.14
      i am sure it will work..

  • Connecting a PC with an external wireless card

    I have an iMac and am connected wirelessly to the Internet through the Airport Extreme. My roommate has a new Dell Laptop with Windows XP and has been connected through ethernet to the base station. She just recently purchased an external wireless card, and we can't seem to get her connected wirelessly. When searching for available networks to join on her computer, it recognizes my network and says that it has an excellent signal, but when we type in the WEP, it doesn't do anything. It does not give us an error, and it does not connect. Any idea what we are doing wrong and what we can do to fix it?

    I still can't figure it out. I unchecked the option that says "enable encryption (using WEP)" and she was immediately connected. I don't think I have a huge problem leaving the network up without a password, I'm in a small residential area. Does that just mean that neighbors would be able to connect? How far does the signal generally travel? And is there any way to see the IP addresses of people connected to this specific network?

  • Connecting a work laptop to Time Capsule wireless internet

    I have recently upgraded our G4 iMac and MacBook Pro to Leopard. I have connected a Time Capsule to both machines using the wireless facility on the capsule. It asked for a password when I set up the network so I created one. However, my husband also connects to the network with his work pc. Since moving from Airport Express with no password to the new network he can no longer get online. How do I fix this? Can I create another network without the need for a password or is it something to do with his computer? I have tried deleting the password but it keeps putting it back.
    Sharing
    I also need to know how the two computers can share wirelessly. Most of the photos, music etc are on the iMac. I am not 100% as to how the Time Capsule works!! Aren't we supposed to pull the files we want to use from the Time Capsule??? and then it backs up. How do I set up sharing and can I delete all the files on the Mac's now since they are on the Time Capsule? I need someone to explain to me how this new system works!!
    Cheers,
    Maria Birchall

    The Time Capsule can store files on its hard drive for sharing across the network. Sharing files off one computer w/o copying them to the TC's hard drive is a general networking question and unrelated to the Capsule. Check the Leopard rums for an answer to that (though I believe the "Drop Box" in "Public" in your Home folder is the easy way to do this).
    Your husband's work PC (which says "Windows" to me) probably needs to "refind" the network without the old one to muck it up. You should be able to view the "Properties" of the old connection and delete it. I could talk you through it but I'd have to fire up my (buggy) PC and I'm on the way to bed. He should be able to log in even with the password though. Be sure your TC settings are compatible with his work PC. Also, one way to "cheat" is just to rename the SSID. This will force all computers to look for a new network the first time they login. Sometimes it's the easiest way to make a computer "forget" the old one.

  • Connectivity Issues WRT54G router and 2915ABG Dell wireless card

    My wife and I both have Dell Inspiron 600m laptops with nearly the same setup: XP Pro, 2915ABG wireless cards, and the wireless connection is controlled through ProSet Wireless. We have Comcast and connect to a WRT54G wireless router. The router has WPA enabled, MAC address filtering, and the latest Firmware.
    I have no trouble connecting to or remaining connected to the router. Her machine connects to the wireless, but randomly loses connection (sometimes it's connected for hours and other times it losses connection in the first five minutes). When I watch the ProSet wireless event viewer, it only says "link down."
    To attempt to fix this problem, I have:
    played with the router's settings including changing channels
    updated her drivers
    allowed windows to control the wireless card
    reset the router
    updated the router's firmware
    None of these actions have fixed the problem. The only real differences between the two machines is that I did the following to mine:
    My machine was the one that initially set up the wireless router
    I used the Comcast install CD on my machine (then deleted all the *junk* that was installed by the CD).
    I would like to avoid using the Comcast install CD on her machine because no one needs the extra junk they install. I did set up her machine according to the internet on how to set up Comcast without the CD.
    I am trying to figure out if the problem is with the router or with her hardware. Thank you,
    Michael

    Try upgrading the firmware on the router.

  • Help Laptop Cannot Detect my Wireless Card Satellite L305 S5946

    So I had to re-install windows to fix a couple of issues I was having. I currently have everything working except now this laptop is not registering that it has a wireless card. I can connect through ethernet and it shows that connection, but it shows no device for the wireless connection and will not read any wireless networks. THe only thing I have under Network Connections in Device Manager is for the Realtek RTL 8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC NDIS 6.0. Also under Manage Connections, it shows only a Lan Connection for wired connection. Anyone have any ideas? This laptop is running vista currently. Any help would be appreciated, I am completely stumped at this point. Thanks! (PS yes I know there is a button to turn wireless on and off, and it is currently switched to on and the light is lit up for wireless)

    I checked a couple things. On your computer you can turn off the LAN in the Bios, but not the wireless card. Your computer came with an Athros 802.11b/g card. And the computer should be seeing it. But if it isn't, try reinstalling the driver. Or have a technician look at the computer and verify that the card is there and not half out of the slot or damaged.

  • How to control an Apple Base Station with 3rd-party wireless card?

    I recently upgraded my early 2004 Power Mac G5 2GHz DP to the 802.11n standard using a Newertechnology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b Wireless PCI Adapter to communicate with my new "n"-standard 2TB Time Capsule. My G5 shipped with an 802.11g-standard Airport Card which I disconnected when I installed the PCI card to avoid hardware conflicts. The new n-standard wireless set-up works without a problem, but having lost the Apple Airport Card, I no longer have the ability to control/manipulate the Timecapsule via the third-party card e.g. I cannot connect/disconnect my internet connection or otherwise troubleshoot the base station.
    So, the question is, how can control an Apple base station with a third-party wireless card? As it stands now, I must boot up my laptop just to see if I have a connection.
    My thanks in advance,
    T. North
    Brussels, Belgium

    Thanks for the assistance. Yes, I can indeed administer the Time Capsule from inside the Airport Utility, but I am still unable to connect or disconnect the Internet connection like you can with an Airport card (using the Airport drop-down menu.) If my ISP signal drops for whatever reason (which is does often) I have to boot up my laptop just to reconnect. Is there some feature within the Airport Utility that permits one to connect/disconnect the signal? If there is, I haven't found it yet.

    Just disable the gameport on "Device Manager" to see if it's the culprit.
    Have you also played with mouse settings (acceleration and saple rate)?

  • There is a lot of talk aout there about using a 27" iMac as a display with the mini displayport to displayport cable. It is so exciting! I am trying to connect a PC laptop with a VGA port to a 27" Dell Latitude D620?

    In 2010 there was a question about using a 27" iMac as a display with a Dell laptop.
    I am trying to connect a work Dell laptop Running Windows XP via a VGA cable to my personal iMac 27"
    running iMac 27", Mac OS X (10.6)
    Has anyone tried this or know if imac 27" Mini port with a VGA adapter can work?
    I apologize if I missed this discussion already
    Kind Regards

    Hi Gilly,
    I have no proof, but I think it will not work with an adapter, only Mini Display Port or Thunderbolt.
