Can't connect laptop when wired desktop is switched on.

Hi,
I have a Linksys WRT54G2 router and a laptop (wireless) and desktop (wired) which both connect fine however if I turn on the desktop before the laptop or turn the desktop on while the laptop is running the laptop loses connection. When this happens the laptop displays all the available wireless networks but can’t see my one. The only way to I can get it working again is to restart the router.
Both machines are running windows XP. The wireless is using WPA2 Personal security. This problem has always occurred since buying this router.
Let me know if there is any other information required.
Many thanks.

Just flash your router's firmware and see if it corrects your problem...
Download the Firmware from here
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware on the device : -
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1...Leave the Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the 'Administration' tab- Then click on the 'Firmware Upgrade' sub tab- Here click on 'Browse' and browse the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait for few seconds until it shows that "Upgrade is successful"  After the firmware upgrade, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned back to the same page OR it will say "Page cannot be displayed".
Now reset your router :
Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Adjust it's Wireless Settings - 
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • WRT54GS wireless connection drops on laptop when wired desktop is turned on.

    I've had this router for a few years now and have never had a problem.  But recently my laptop wireless connection dies when my desktop, which is connection via ethernet is turned on.  In trying to fix the problem, I've upgraded the firmware, but that didn't end up working.  I recently upgraded to vista from xp on the desktop computer, so I don't know if this is what started the problem.  I don't recall if this problem started before I upgraded. 
    I don't know what sort of additional information you guys would need to help diagnose the problem, so just let me know and I'll get that info for you.
    Thanks,
    Kurt

    Check under Local Area Conneciton in Desktop that if there is any other connection except Local Area Connection is present ... if so then delete or disable that ...
    Also check that if there is any USB connection from Modem to the Computer ....

  • My X61 can't connect wireless when i use battery!!!

    TYPE NO.:  7673-AN6
    i confused why it can not connect wireless when i use battery?!
    the problem drive me crazy nearly, it means i must take adapter every time
    i help every one can help me!
    cheers,

    Most of the functionality and problems are in the drivers. The hardware tends to be discrete testable functions though these days there is a fair bit of functionality in the hardware. The hardware tends to be implementing better defined protocols where as the to and fro of the higher level protocols tend to be what varies from Access Point to Access Point. The 4965AGN is a fairly recent chip set and the drivers are far from smoothly running.
    The problems can vary from AP to AP so may work at home but not at work etc. Some have reported here that the 4965AGN setup doesn't work with the Cisco 1200 Access Point and I have yet to be able to get it to work under Vista with the equipment at any New York Starbucks. T-mobile do use Cisco equipment but I don't know which models.
    Anything you can do to simplify the situation helps. Maximum power. No security. Disable IPv6 on the connection etc. Just to give a rough idea of the kind of thing that might be wrong here are some of the things listed as known issues or fixed according to the readme of the driver (Originating from Intel) that was released for the 4965AGN on 4/11/08.
    There are several authentication issues with EAP, PEAP and LEAP which will cause it not to authenticate. There are also Vista EAP issues and some things which may resolve with SP1 which was pushed out on update last week. So there are many comnbinations of situations which may not work and it is important to test with different access points. Authentication and security has more issues. Also at the higher speeds such as 54Mb some of the security mechanisms will not be able to keep up. AES is the only mechanism which Intel expects to work at 54Mb.
    http://downloadmirror.intel.com/15806/ENG/relnotes.htm
    There have also been past issues where the cards are silenced for twenty minutes after a failure to authenticate and in many cases the card will not be in a valid state after hibernation. It is noticable that when you phone T-mobile the first thing the tech has you do is completely shut the machine down - not hibernate - and begin afresh.
    Once you have uninstalled and re-installed the drivers and connection manager a few times it is also possible to be having problems with junk left in the registry.
    I don't recommend adding the 4965 drivers directly from the Intel site. I would wait for the one that has come through the Lenovo testing cycle.
    In reality for those who don't want to make maintaining their laptop a serious hobby (Hopefully all of us - Far too much time is wasted on wireless) it is really a matter of rebooting your machine at a given access point. Trying your luck and then shutting it down and going somewhere else if it doesn't work. Use wires when you can. At home if your access point doesn't work check your configuratiions, temporarily remove all security, restore factory settings on the AP, reinstall from scratch and if it still doesn't work replace it with a different brand of Access Point.
    Of course it is intended to just work and for 95+% of situations Wi-Fi does. The 4965AGN is newer so it has its fair share of early life issues to get resolved. Vista also still has issues. If the problem you are seeing is only when you are on batteries you are lucky and LANOgre's instructions may well solve it.

  • Drives and printers can be connected manually when needed logon script is aborted

    Hi All,
    Could anyone help me with the issue "the computer is not in the location network (Domain) drives and printers can be connected manually when needed logon script is aborted"
    Thanks
    Atul Srivastava

    Hi Atul,
    >>the computer is not in the location network (Domain) drives and printers can be connected manually when needed logon script is aborted
    How did this happen? Did you use logon script to map drives or printers to users? If yes, did the computer have network connection to the domain controllers? You can ping the IP addresses of your domain controllers to check network connectivity.
    Besides, you can check event logs in Event Viewer to see if some related events were logged.
    Best regards,

  • Loss of laptop wireless connection when wired desktop connects

    I haven't had this problem when i first bought the router but recently if my desktop is connected by a wired connection I am either unable to connect wirelessly via laptop, or if I am already connected, will be disconnected. Can anyone help please??? Thank you

    Are you using any fixed LAN IP addresses on your network?  If so, list all the fixed LAN IP addresses that you use.  Also, if you are not using the default DHCP server range of 192.168.1.100  thru  192.168.1.149 , then please state your DHCP server range.

  • Can not connect laptop wireless

But it wont connect wireless. I can get it set up all up the point were it ask you to label the location of the network it wont let me change it from unidentified to my home network. What's the problem?

    Hello,
    Try calling you internet service provider and have them set a new network account for the NB.

  • Can't 'Connect As' when trying to remotely log in via Shared

    Hi all,
    I've got a bit of an odd question. I have a suite of 10x iMacs networked together. All the machines can see each other on the Finder 'Shared' sidebar, yet if I click one (so as to copy files etc from one machine to another) I just get the coloured pin wheel. I assume that the machine is trying to auto log in, but for some reason it won't. Clicking the 'Connect As' button to try and force a manual log in will not work. Because of this I can't share my files properly.
    Anyone have any ideas? I'm sure this used to work and nothing has changed to the machines/network other than basic OSX updates.
    Cheers!

    Make sure:
    1.  Firewall/AntiVirus/Security software isn't blocking Skype from connecting.
    2.  No proxy settings exist in Skype's connection settings.  This can reset that:

    3.  No Windows policies exist with proxy settings. This can reset that:  http://www.pcdust.com/Downloads/PolicyFix/PolicyFi​x.exe
    4. Router isn't somehow blocking Skype.
    5. Using an unsupported version of Skype.  Currently any version below 6.14 can loose connectivity to Skype requiring an update to a newer version though this may change.

  • Can't connect to internet via airport after switching off

    I can create a new network connection and successfully connect to the net. However when I come back to surf later after a couple of power downs it will not connect. My mac can see the network, recognise the name and security type but will not allow connection, even when I retype any password accessing via other network. I've tried setting up a location, used it once but on power back the same issue happens. I can surf via a LAN cable no problem. Help!

    By power downs do you mean Sleep?
    One thing that might work is to set the IP to Static in Network>Configure IPv4>DHCP with Manual Address.

  • Can't connect Palm m125 to desktop with cradle USB cable

    Someone gave me this Palm m125 and when I try to sync with my desktop there is no connection established. Can someone please help?
    Post relates to: Palm m125

    Right click on the hotsync icon next to your clock and see if Local USB is checked. If you do not see Local USB then you will need to upgrade Palm Desktop
    Palm Desktop 4.1.4 or 4.1.4E will work but you will need to sync to Outlook so you can have your data. The older versions of devices do not work well with newer Palm Desktop Versions.
    Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is the same idea, you will need to sync to Outlook but with this version another company built an addon so you can sync to Palm Desktop and it is free.
    Unfortunately we cannot offer support for it only for the Palm Desktop software. But the manufacture of the software might be able to to help you. Here is his link.
    http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/. Your looking for the "PalmHotSyncSetup" link at the bottom.
    If you do see the Local USB and it is still not syncing you still may need to upgrade to a newer version of Palm Desktop

    Based on your description, I understand that you configure redirected folder via Group Policy. If anything
    I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
    Please logon the problematic computer by using that user who was redirected My Documents folder, then run
    gpupdate /force command and monitor the result.

    Is there a registry change I can make to redirect the path from the local C' to the UNC path?
    Please type
    regedit in Run to open Registry Editor and follow the path:

  • Is there a problem with FaceTime, can not connect. When dial it connects and drops. When friends are calling me they have calling message and I have connecting but it does not connect. Need help, face time is my life line.

    Face time not working. When dialled it says connecting and drops immediately. When my friends calling it show connecting but it does not.
    Is there a problem with face time. I am in south Africa, it was working perfectly up to Easter. Please help this is my life line.

    There is a barely acknowledged issue. For Mac users Apple has released an update to the app, but for iOS users the recommendation is for users to update their ipad to the most recent operating system.
    There may be a fix coming for iOS6 users (which seem to be many of those having problems) or there may not be. If your ipad isn't up to date then you can update it and see if that helps, or if you don't want to update then you may want to wait and see if there is either a fix or if it fixes itself.

  • How can I connect a client java desktop aplication with the server of jsf

    I need to connect a desktop aplication with a jsf, I need to know how I plug the desktop aplication. I open a connection and then what. I need to send faceBean or a HTML documment or a EL document class. Please help me. I don't know how to do this. If u have examples or code would be great.

    ok, the problem is how to send events to the jsf, how to maintain the session, and other kind of stuffs, this works with the browsers but not with my connection. The problem is not the conecction. The problem is keep the advantages of jsf with my connection. Im using a button in a jsp page connecting to jsf implementation mojarra and works for the events. but with my desktop connection and the same parameters crash with a exception java.util.zip.ZipException: incomplete dynamic bit lengths tree.
    this happens when I try to send the next parameter to jsf, javax.faces.ViewState=ANY VALUE.
