BEFW11S4: Windows XP will not recognize my SSID network

I have a BEFW11S4 router with firmware version 1.5.10. I am using Windows XP Pro w/ SP2. I am using an IBM R52 laptop with a non Linksys wireless card.
In the past, I was able to just do this:
http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3962&lid=7790878881B05
and the SSID would show up. I'd enter the WEP key and bam! I'm online.
I had to have my IBM reimaged, but when I went back to connect to the network, my SSID network name would not show up. I would see an unsecured network that a neighbor of mine had, but not my own. Reimaging is usually not a problem, as I've had my IBM reimaged many times before and I could still connect again.
The weird thing is that as I type this post, I am on a Mac OSX and it is using my very own network, so I don't know how to get Windows XP to see my network.

if your pc is seeing any other network in the area like your neighhor's network, then you have to recheck on the configurations of your own router. check first if the wireless-b on the front panel of the router is lit up, so as to insure that the wireless capability of the router is still functioning properly. get into the setup page of the router and recheck if the wireless broadcast is enabled and properly recheck your network name and if the network is secured or not.
do reflashing of firmware on the router, it will always recommended to upgrade firmware of router.
i do appreciate further feedback on your problem soon.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the ipod.

    I have an ipod 4th touch 64 gig. Windows 7 will not recognize the ipod. It will make the noise of a connection and will only charge. It will not show in my computer as a hard drive. It will show in Itunes and other third party programs. I have searched the net and tried most of the advice to try and fix but will still not show as a hard drive.
    Has anyone had this problem and if so is there a fix?
    thanks

    I did read along the way about some of the ipods not being recognized as a HD. I just installed Iexplorer and looks like it will do the job. As long as I have something other than Itunes to see it as a HD. I use Syncios and Copy Trans and both work great as to transfer music. But to see the ipod as a HD iexplorer will do the Job.
    Again my ipod 4th gen will show in my computer but only the DCIM folder and a few other with pictures, no music folder or the control folder from the ipod.
    My ipad works great and another ipod the long thin ones work but not this ipod touch 4 gen 64 gig.
    Any other suggestions or help much appreciated
    thanks for the iexplorer it should help

    There is a 3 inch section of the window that will not respond or recognize the mouse. It will not let you click on the icons or screen in any way. This is the only program we are experiencing this problem with.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • My HP Pavillion w/Windows XP will not recognize my new External HDD

     HP Pavillion w/Windows XP Media Center   m7267c Desktop PC
    Is it necessary to pay a outside Driver manager to restor the ability of my PC to instal Driver Software for devices that the specific Mfg states should already have present on my OS?
    I purchased a Western Digital 2TB External Drive ( WDBAAUOO20HBK-01 )  to free up my packed Internal HDD. I made sure it was a "USB 2.0" device. But the PC will not recognize the external HDD device.
    Please help if you can

    BTW...the Drivers that are supposed to work are :
    c:\\windows\system.32\DRIVERS\disk.sys
    c:\\windows\system.32\drivers\partmgr.sys
    ....at least those are the Windows drivers that are loaded off my newer Dell PC when the Ext. HDD is plugged into it.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize the dvd drive in my dv9925nr

    Windows will not recognize my dvd drive in Windows 7. It shows up under device manager under cd drives, but will not list in in my computer and will not recognize it as a drive in burning applications.

    I haven't installed and started testing the BETA yet, just downloading from MS tonight.I would suspect upper & lower filters,since that is the most common cause of cd/dvd problems from XP-Vista.

  • My computer (windows 7) will not recognize my iPhone 4s

    My iPhone 4s has recently started acting up on my windows 7 computer. It will now not sync to iTunes nor will it even connect/charge on my computer. This was working last night. I've already removed iTunes, reinstalled it. I've made sure mobile me has been restarted. I have made sure only one computer is authorized to use this iPhone. The USB WILL NOT RECOGNIZE error message comes up every single time i plug the iPhone in. I've run scans on all my usb ports and they are all functioning properly.
    What am i missing here?

  • Windows 7 will not recognize network drive on airport extreme

    Good day.  I created a network drive using a WD my book 1tb hard drive.  I formatted it to fat32.  Windows 7 does not see the hard drive, but the WD software can find it and the apple extreme router can also see the hard drive.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks

    Hi 2pfspiff,
    To verify if you can connect to the drive at all, you may want to try to manually mount it from the Windows machine. The following article has some generall steps for mounting an Airport Extreme USB hard drive under XP and Vista, but the steps should be similar under Windows 7.

  • Windows 7 will not recognize PSE 8 Organizer on External Drive

    Hello:
    Background:
    We purchased a Dell Inspiron 560 with Windows 7 from BestBuy to replace the Hewlett Packard Pavilion with Windows XP that was showing problems. My present photo software includes Photo Shop Elements 8 and Nikon NX2. (I intend to use PSE 8 for Nikon NEF (RAW) files and NX2 for JPEG files.)  Geek Squad (GS) transfered the information that was on the HP hard drive to the Dell. All the icons now show on the Dell except for iTunes.  I also gave GS the Photoshop and Nikon disks in case they needed to reload the programs.
    The photos are stored on a Western Digital (WD) external drive that was also given to GS to test the transfer.  I organized my files according to the "master programs", e.g., Adobe Photoshop 8 and Nikon NX2 with subfolders for the photos themselves.  Everything worked fine on the former HP computer.
    The situation:
    The PSE 8 Edit and NX2 appears to work but not the PSE 8 Organizer.  All folders and subfolders and information in the subfolders are present on the WD drive.  The Nikon software opens and edits all photos including the photos stored in the Adobe Photoshop 8 folder in the WD drive.  I can open a single photo in PSE 8 Edit.  But I cannot activate PSE 8 Organizer where the folders and subfolders are.  When I attempt to activate the Organizer following the prompts, the following statement appears, "The catalog could not be opened. It is either corrupt, or the version is out of date and cannot be updated."  However, I can access them using the NX2 software.
    So what do I have to do to activate or reactivate the Organizer?  I could transfer the files from the Adobe folder to the Nikon folder using drag and drop, reinstall PSE 8, and then reintstall the files on the Adobe folder.
    Or is there a better way?
    Please help.
    Mp

    Without knowing exactly what Geek Squad actually did, its hard to say how to fix this.
    Ideally, that way to fix this is to do the following: you would create a backup of your catalog on the old computer. Do this with the Organizer command File->Backup Catalog. Tell PSE to save the backup to the external drive. Then connect the external drive to the new computer, and run the Organizer command File->Restore Catalog.
