Can't find wireless on Dell D620

When I install the Oracle VM Server on a Dell D620 the kernel sees the eth0 direct attached ethernet but it does not see the eth1 wireless interface. Can I just plumb/configure/create this interface and have the kernel recognize the device or do I need to recompile the kernel to pick up this device? Are there any known issues with wireless interfaces?

So I have two questions:1.  What is the quickest way to find out the IP addresses assigned to devices on my home network?
2.  Is there some permanent way for me to assign the device to the network, even if the IP address changes from time to time?
The quickest way to determine the IP address assigned to the PrintServer is to generate a diagnostic print-out.
To do so:
Ensure that both the PrintServer and the printer attached to the Printer port are on.
Press the Reset button, and hold it for 2 seconds. (Note: Holding the reset button for 10 seconds will reset the PrintServer back to its factory-default configuration.)
The test page, which lists PrintServers' current settings, will be printed.
For networked devices, like print servers and NAS devices, you will want them to have static IP addresses just outside of the range of dynamic IP addresses the DHCP server in your router is providing. Since you have an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), you have two choices to do this:
Use the AirPort's DHCP Reservation feature to assign a "static" IP address FROM the pool of DHCP addresses it provides to the PrintServer, or
Use the PrintServer web-based administration interface to assign the PrintServer with a static IP address.

  • Can't find wireless printer with E2000 router

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 (running Vista Home Premium) that connects to my Linksys E2000 and to a wireless printer, the Canon MX870.  It's been working for months without problems.
    I just got a Toshiba Satellite P770-BT4G22 Laptop (running Window 7 Professional 64 bit) and installed the Cisco Connect software following the instructions where you have already set up the router and just need to install the software to do things like add a device.  I can connect to the router fine using a web browser or the Cisco Connect Software and my Toshiba connects to the Internet through the router without problems.
    The problem is Cisco Connect says it can't find a wireless printer when I run it on my new Toshiba.  I've put the printer within 3 feet of the router with my Toshiba in between but still it can't find it.  My Dell in another room connects to the printer no problem.  And I can print to the Canon if I  select the Shared Canon Printer ( on the Dell) using the Toshiba's Control Panel Add Printer function.  But obviously that means the Dell has to be on so that's not good for much more than troubleshooting.  I've also wired a connection from the printer to the Toshiba and downloaded the latest driver, printed that way so I know that's not the problem.  The problem is that Cisco Connect can't find the printer.  It says there are 6 devices attached to my router so it's seeing something, but I guess not the printer.  I've turned any firewalls off for this testing too.
    I'm stumped as to why it can't find the printer when the Dell did and they are all on the same network. Unless it's not compatible with 64 bit Windows.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have already added the printer to my network using Windows Add Printer prior to assigning the printer a static IP.  But I followed your instructions in making the IP static so if I reset the router I don't have to go through the process again.
    When I ran CC and told it to add a printer, it did not identify any printer for me, it went from the screen where you say to add a printer to one where it asked me to name the printer.  Honestly, I wasn't even sure if it was referring to the Canon because I'd already added it using Windows, albeit without a static IP, just by knowing what IP it had been assigned.  After I gave it the name, it went back to the "home" screen with computers & devices, parental controls, etc.  No errors, but no real way to see or change what I had done. 
    That's why I was asking if there's a way to look at the router and view devices that have a static IP.  I can view the DHCP table but it's not there of course.  I don't really see anywhere using the router software (either by web connection or CC) where the Canon printer is listed.  I see it in Windows Printers, but I saw it there before I reran  CC and it asked me to name it.
    I appreciate your help and I'm glad to be up and running with it.  Especially with having a static IP.  I'm just trying to better understand what happened and how to view my devices connected to the router.
    Thank you very much for your help.

  • W7 PCs on router LAN port can not find Wireless connected OJ Pro 8500A Plus following router upgrade

    My Broadband Supplier has replaced my internet router with a new one with dual N band Wireless and GigE LAN ports. The 8500A printer has been successfully WPA wirelessly connected and works fine with a wireless connected Sony windows 7 laptop and Apple devices.  However neither of the Dell LAN connected windows 7 desktop PCs or the same Sony laptop when connected to a LAN port on the router can find the printer.  I have tried reinstalling the printer software with the latest version from the HP site OJ8500_A910_1315 and the installation fails as network environment checker can not find the printer. I have run the HP network diagnostics with both firewalls in the PC and router disabled with no success. The LAN itself seems to be working OK as the PCs can see each other, exchange files and and can access the internet.  The router has been checked by the broadband supplier technical uupport.  The printer is visible as a network connected device in Windows explorer so you would expect the HP software to see it. Is the only option to fix the printers IP address and use that in the installion procedure or are there other settings I can alter to get the HP network environment checker to work properly?  Thoughts would be appreciated.
    This question was solved.

    In the router settings look for "wireless isolation", "AP isolation" or the like and make sure it is DISABLED.  This setting disables communication between the wired and wireless clients.

  • Photosmart b209a can't find wireless network.

    I've only had this printer for three days. The "Easy One Button" process to get it to find a network failed. It cannot find my wireless network.
    I'm using XP Professional on my laptop. McAfee Virus scanning and Firewall. (Not that it matters if the printer can't find the wireless network)
    I have a DSL D-link router with NO MAC filtering and yet when I print the Wireless Network Test Report it gives me this whole spiel on MAC address filtering and asks to add the MAC address of the printer to the router... but there's no offered solution if MAC filtering is turned off.
    I've changed my router security key from WEP to WPA-PSK.
    I've managed to get it to connect twice... and to print a test page on separate days. I have no idea what it is I do that gets it 'online' but it doesn't seem to last.
    I have spent several hours over the past three days (wasting entire days) trying to work out what the problem is. I have read forum posts; I have googled for solutions. The troubleshooting guide for the printer seems hopeless.
    The printer is on the same desk as the router with only a computer monitor between them.
    When I print the HP Network Configuration Page it states the status of the 802.11 Wireless is "Disconnected". The printer's wireless light is on, showing that the wireless radio is working on the printer.
    I bought HP because my last printer was HP and it was excellent (but not wireless). If I can't get it to go online, seriously, I'll take it back and exchange it for a different brand of printer. All I want is a printer I can print to wirelessly, is that so hard to ask? Yes, I'm getting really frustrated here. I live in a rural area and I don't have access to geek friends or a computer professional or anything like that and returning the printer requires a two hour drive so I have to be as self-sufficient as possible. Please, try not to use too many technical terms. I can understand some but not all and if anybody can help me, please be clear in their instructions (ie, don't just say 'go to setup blah blah blah' without saying which setup you're talking about.)
    Thanks for any help. It is appreciated.

    Yes, the desktop is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.
    Yes the laptop is wireless.
    The printer is connected to the router via wireless (which I've already stated, it keeps losing the wireless network).
    If I don't have my printer connected to the desktop via cable, then I won't have any printing capability at all, because, as I just said, the printer keeps losing the wireless network! I need at least some way of printing when the printer can't find the network (even though the wireless network is working perfectly fine).
    So, desktop connected to router with cable.
    Laptop is wireless
    Printer is wireless for laptop use (but it keeps losing the network and therefore is totally useless in that respect)
    Printer is connected to desktop via cable to enable printing because of wireless continuing to lose connection to wireless network.
    In fact my printer hasn't been able to connect to the wireless network for 2 days now... even though I'm currently connected to it on my wireless laptop.
    Sometimes the printer finds the network, sometimes it doesn't and when it does, if I try to print from the laptop wirelessly, the printer loses the network.
    This really is poor product and the installation manual might as well be used for toilet paper for all its worth, same with the 'help' feature on the disk. I only chose HP because I was familiar with it, since my previous printer was HP and reliable (but not wireless). I'm seriously wishing I'd purchased a different brand.
    I'm not an IT tech, but I've managed to be able to connect modems and routers and other peripherals to my network without too much hassle at all... until now.
    I'm sorry if I sound angry but this is completely frustrating. I spent good money for a product that I am unable to use for the main purpose I bought it! I'm reduced to saving things to USB sticks and physically taking them to the desktop computer and having to print from there.

  • Can't find wireless network

    I just got a new mac cube for my office and installed an airport card in it. My computer recognizes the card but does not see any wireless networks. even when i manually enter my network name and password it can't find it: it either say "there was an error joining the network" or "wrong password" (it's definitely the right password. do i need to configure the new airport card somehow? this is driving me nuts!

    Did you attach the antenna wire to the AirPort card when you installed it?

  • Since Yosemite Macbookpro can't find wireless printer

         Since my Yosemite upgrade my laptop and other wireless devices won't play nice.  The biggest issue is my printer, Canon MG5520.  I have downloaded the latest drivers, it's connected to our home network my husband can print from it using two windows laptops. I have "reset printers" I have re-installed the drivers multiple times.  It will find the printer occasionally.  I thought I had it all working this morning after an hour of troubleshooting and tried to print something and got the "cannot find printer" error.  If I go into the printer utility it tells me it's there and idle but when you try to print it's error 300.  I also can't find my iPhone5s with airdrop but that is the least of my troubles right now.

    The meaning of "Support Code 300" is known only to Canon, but there are reports of at least temporary relief from taking one or more of the following steps. Some may not be applicable in your case.
             Open the printer cover to check the ink cartridges, then power the printer off and back on.
             Turn Wi-Fi off and back on in the menu bar.
             Delete and recreate the print queue in the Print & Scan preference pane.
             Disconnect the power cable and reconnect it after a minute or so.
             Reset the printer to factory condition, restart the wireless router, and repeat the network setup.
    If none of these procedures works for you, I suggest you contact Canon tech support.

  • Time machine can't find wireless device despite strong Wifi connection

    Every time I try to set up time machine, whenever it tries to find a wireless device it says "Airport Utility was unable to find any Airport wireless devices. Make sure the Airport wireless device you want to set up is plugged in and in range of your computer, and then rescan again." I already have a perfectly strong connection to my router so why does it keep saying that it can't find a wireless connection?

    @Pondini - this is not a time capsule, I have a HDD on my WiFi network.
    Hi, and welcome to the forums.
    You have two problems with this setup.
    First, Apple doesn't support backing-up that way. See this Apple article: [Disks that can be used with Time Machine|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html].
    Second, backups done locally (when the HD is connected to your Mac via USB) are placed in a Backups.backupdb folder at the top level of the drive. When they're done over a network (Ethernet or WIFI), that folder is inside a +sparse bundle,+ and you can't easily switch between the two.

  • MacBook Pro 15" can't find wireless preferred network after wake-up

    Hello all
    I've this problem with a MBP 15" (SnowLeopard 10.6.6): it doesn't find my preferred wi-fi network after waking-up from sleep.
    Settings:
    - on the MBP there's a preferred Location for this wi-fi connection
    - wi-fi, DHCP and DNS managed by an AVM FritzBox 7050 (not visible SSID, MAC restriction, WPA2 pw)
    - the channel I've set is different from other wi-fi around the building
    The same network works perfectly using an old iBook G4 and an iMac, and other Windows PCs too.
    Sometimes the MBP AirPort card just can't find the preferred Fritz network, while it does sees other wi-fi in the same building. Even using NetStumbler doesn't help.
    I need to try to add manually "another" network several times before the MBP joins the Fritz wi-fi.
    I already deleted and recreated the preferred network.
    Is this a known software issue, or it can be a faulty AirPort card ?
    thanx
    Gabriel

    Hello all,
    after a lot of testing, using both the MacBook Pro and an old iBook G4 (the latter was working perfectly), and having on both machines some wi-fi sw such as KisMAC and iStumbler (while watching the wi-fi monitor on the access point consolle), I found that:
    - the MacBook Pro is much more sensible to noise;
    - it is better to use a channel with little noise, even if the are other devices on overlapping channels.
    Eg: I found the channel #13 was free and there was only 1 other PC on #12, but there was a lot of noise. After trying all the channels, I  decided to use #4 because there was little noise, even if there were many PCs around on #5/6.
    So, don't care (as one should usually do) too much about not overlapping channels; instead, search for channels with little interferences.
    I hope my solution can help you

  • Can't find wireless at home after just one day

    The first day back home, everything was fine, I can find the wireless name in the airport list and use it normally.
    then I just folded the MBP as usual (I bought it last Fall, and use it normally)
    the next morning I couldn't find the wireless at home but only could find the neighbors', even we both use TP-LINK router.
    Till today it's more than 3 weeks that I couldn't do anything with my MBP.
    I deleted all the old wireless record in the preference list and add my home wireless usr name and passwrd but nothing happened, still can't connect to it/
    I can connect to internet normally at a coffee bar or starbucks.
    all the other devices at home ,like my iphone and ipad , and my 27inch imac can connect to my home wireless normally, but sometimes the imac will lose the connection.
    I read the discussion about the similar problem in this forum, but I decide to ask it again because the most strange part is , my MBP connected to it normally at the first day!!!!
    I bought my MBP last year through online shop in CANADA. I don't think it will be a channel problem since I did can connect to it in the first day.
    I didn't add any software for the airport or internet connection, either.
    If somebody could have any idea that will be so helpful. Thank you.

    Location services based on wi-fi is dependent on the Wi-Fi access point database having a known location. It is also not dependent on your own wireless AP, it uses all the APs it can see. It is possible your AP was never in the database, but a neighbor's was. If the neighbor's AP can't be seen or has been removed, you would lose "your" location information.
    SkyHook wireless maintains a database that Apple used at one point (or still uses). You can try adding your AP (Time Capsule) to their database and see if that generates a location after a few days.  http://www.skyhookwireless.com/howitworks/submit_ap.php
    My understanding is Apple is collecting locations based on iPhone/iPad location data tied with visible Wi-Fi APs, but I don't have any solid source. So, I don't know if they still uses SkyHook data. I submitted mine years ago and was "located" shortly thereafter.

  • Windows Can't Find Wireless Network upon Restart

    Hello,
    I am running Windows XP and have a wireless network set up via a Linksys BEFW11S4. Everytime I restart my computer, the windows wireless client cannot find my network.
    I've found that the work around is to unplug for 10 seconds, then plug back in-which usually then allows my laptop to find the network. (I've also used the EasyLink software which arrives at thsi same result).
    My question is what do I need to change in order to not have to continually be unplugging and replugging back in my routher.
    Thanks!

    Try few settings on the router ....
    Change the channel on the from 6 to 11 ....
    Under advance wireless settings ....
    Beacon Interval - 75....
    DTIM - 2....
    RTS & Fragmentation Threshold - 2306 ....
    Change the network name SSID ....Also change the wireless security key ....
    See if is shows connected after reboot ....

  • IBook (10.4.11) can't "find" wireless HDD?

    I currently have a Time Capsule with an USB hub connected with two external drives.
    All three (TC, 1.5Tb HDD and 500Gb HDD) show up on my MacBook and MacBook Air (OSX 10.6.4) but this is where the similarities end.
    I'm wanting to use my iBook running 10.4.11 as a server so I can stream movies and music wirelessly to my TV via a PS3 which works perfectly with my MacBook(s).
    The problem is that the iBook only "sees" the 1.5Tb HDD (where I only have Music and photos) and the TC but not the 500Gb Movie HDD.
    How do I add the 500Gb in 10.4.11? I'm not used the network setups on the older OSX but quite ok on 10.5 and 10.6...
    Any pointers would be greatly appreciated...
    Cheerio

    OK... Think I might have found something.
    It's actually at the TC the problem lyes. All of a sudden the USB powered 500Gb is no longer getting power from the TC/HUB, even though the hub is showing the connection as active so therefor it is not visible in my network.
    Have now the USB HDD connected directly to my iBook and it's working fine. Not the best option at the moment but don't have a choice as I have lost the USB hub power supply and don't think the TC is happy supplying al the extra power

  • Can not find wireless signal on laptop?

    I've had an ACER laptop for some time now, and I've been using Linksys wireless routers. They've never been stable with my laptop. I thought I could solve it by buying a new router the Linsys WRT150N, and I got a Linksys wireless card for the laptop, all installed successfully. Till my laptop will not find the wireless signal and I find quite often I'm connected to my neighbours wireless from across the street!!

    Well in this case if you connect the modem directly to the laptop are you online?? if no...contact your ISP to get the internet connection.If yes, then connect modem>>>>router>>>>laptop with an ethernet cable & reset the router for 30 secs in such a way that power light is blinking on the router.Also, do the complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router...now plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green plug in the power cable to the router...& you will be ONLINE!!!

  • New macbook pro can't find wireless printer

    I have an HP1320nw, configured to run wirelessly through a linksys E1000 wireless router.
    my wifes windows box can print to it ... and I can print to it via USB. But when I try and add it as an IP printer, my mac can't see it.
    also ... A ping on the windows box works ... a ping on the mac times out
    any ideas ?

    If the Ping from the Mac times out then that explains why the Mac does not see the printer. But note that you never see a printer when adding it via the Add Printer > IP pane. A printer will only be seen if it supports a broadcasting protocol like Bonjour and if it does it will appear in the Add Printer > Default pane.
    So working on why the Mac cannot ping the printer, the most likely is the Mac is set to a different subnet to the printer. If you make a note of the IP address used by the Mac, the PC and the printer, they should all be set to the same IP subnet. For a home network this is typically the first three sets of numbers in the IP address. The last number is known as the network address, and each device must have a different network address.
    So if the PC and printer have an IP address of 192.168.1.x, where x is the individual network address for each device, then the Mac must also be set to 192.168.1.x.
    The other thing to check is the Gateway / Router address. This will be the IP address of the Linksys router and this should also be set in the Network settings on the Mac.
    If the Mac is correctly set then are you able to ping the Linksys router or the PC?
