Cant connect daughters laptop to broardband - help

My daughter has come home and has a new laptop, she tried to use my bb conection but after entering the network key which i got of the back of the home hub it then say
the network password needs to be 40bit or 104bits depending on your network configuration this can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal charachters.
please can anyone help me. I cant find the card which comes with the hume hub with the Wep number on it either
is there any way i can find out this info please

It should be available in the advanced settings of the home hub (http://bthomehub.home/). The structure of the menus depends on what version of the hub you have, but try going to the advanced settings and looking for the wireless options.

Officejet J6450 will NOT connect to laptop wirelessly - PLEASE HELP...

Good afternoon,
I just spent almost two hours on the phone with a woman from the HP Tech Support team that I could barely understand (not exaggerating - would be wonderful to bring back customer service to the US - god knows we need some more jobs here!!). She had me do a number of things, none of which solved my problem - needless to say, it was a very frustrating two hours and now I am very frustrated!
My issue is that my laptop will not recognize the wireless Officejet J6450. I have Comcast broadband cable internet, a Linksys wireless router, an HP desktop, and a Dell laptop (laptop is from employer - I work from home). I loaded all of the software on my desktop first (connected via USB) and everything worked perfectly. I used the Network Setup Wizard on the printer and connected to my Linksys wireless router with no issue whatsoever (full signal strength). I printed a wireless netwok report - no problems were found - all diagnostic tests were a success. The ethernet adapter wireless network connection IP address on my laptop is 192.168.1.102 and the IP address of the printer is 192.168.1.103. So then I proceeded to load the software to my laptop for wireless connection - thinking all along how easy getting everything set up has been. I then loaded the software to the laptop and I got to the part where it asks what type of connection I want to set up. I chose wireless and it asked me to temporarily plug the laptop to the printer via USB cable. I did so and it began searching for my wireless network. I selected my wireless network and it began searching for my printer. This is were I hit the brick wall - it could not find my printer. I tried again - chose my network, tried to find the printer - no such luck.
I then did a Google search and checked these boards regarding alternative solutions. I tried installing through Windows printers (BTW - laptop is running XP SP2). Selected Local Printer, unchecked the automatically select box, chose standard TCP/IP, etc. - that didn't work either.
I consider myself fairly PC savvy and I am perplexed by this - just doesn't make any sense why the laptop won't detect the wireless printer.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance regarding my connectivity issue as I do NOT want to call HP Tech Support back.
One other thing, the Tech Support lady told me to reset the printer by turning it off and then having me press the pound button and the number 6 before turning it back on. Not sure why she had me do this, but it reset the ink cartridges and alignment and now the printer no longer reports how much ink is left. Any way to fix that?
Lastly, out of curiosity, why does HP recommend not leaving the wireless enabled on the printer when not using it? Doesn't make any sense to have to turn off wireless everytime after printing and then turn it back on when needing to print again.
Sorry for this long post - hopefully this is enough information for you to help me out.
Thanks in advance!
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
First, I have no idea why we are recommending turning off the printer's radio when you are not using it. The only thing I can image is that if you leave the radio on and in its default configuration (SSID = hpsetup, no security, Ad-Hoc), then you are susceptible to neighbors or war-drivers using your printer.
Next, you have an interesting problem. You've done everything I would have tried (check connectivity by browsing the printer's internal web page, turn off the firewall, try to manually add the printer).
I know you've disabled the firewall. I might recommend uninstalling the firewall temporarily, then installing the SW again to see if that works. Also, you might check to see that you don't have another firewall accidentally enabled (maybe the Windows firewall?).
Finally -- is there anything unusual about your wireless-router configuration? Have you set any port-forwarding or other advanced settings? BTW -- what model wireless-router are you running?
And of course there's a rather painful step to try that usually works: reinstall the OS on your laptop and then install the printer SW (I'm somewhat embarrassed to suggest this but it does seem to work).

Cant connect with a PC please help trying to do Christmas CHAT.

Mac is set up with ISIGHT/ICHAT
PC is set up with LOGICTECH Quickcam Fusion/AOL Instant messenger.
So we can text message and we can even do an audio chat. But when it comes to Video it does not go through. When I(the mac) invite the PC, the PC sees the invitation and will accept. My window will even say that it has started the video chat but I cant see them, only myself.
When they invite me I never get the invitation and they just sit on there side.
They are in a hotel...could this be a factor with some firewall.
Any ideas. Please help. We are trying to set this up to video chat with my father for Christmas. four days to go.
thanks jack

Hi bibbo,
Ok Networking basics 101
DHCP. Dynamic hosting by a networking device.
This can be the ISP server, your modem or a router if you have one as well. As both Macs and PCs can "Share this internet Connection" then technically then can be (do this) as well.
Lets presume that you have just a modem and your computer.
Lets presume you Mac is in default settings where it expects to use - or have sent to it - an IP from a DHCP server.
You can look this up on a Mac.
Go to System Preferences > Network.
In the second drop down select the connection method you are using to the modem (built in Ethernet or Airport for wireless).
Then click on the TCP/IP tab.
This should have a drop down that will confirm it is "Using DHCP"
This will mean that it is.
The type of IP shown under that will say if the modem is in bridge mode (by showing a Public IP) or a local private IP.
How to tell ?
Local devices start with certain numbers
192.168.xxx.xxx
10.xxx.xxx.xxx
172.16.xxx.xxx - 172.32.xxx.xxx
Further down the same info screen is the DNS server info if added
And the "router" IP.
This "Router" IP is the IP of the modem if it fits in to one of those three groups above.
If it shows the same number at the top spot as when you go here then the device is in Bridge mode and it is allowing the ISP issued IP to come through to your computer.
Tell us the info you see in this part of System preferences.
<hr>
Next.
The "ROUTER" IP if in a Local number as shown above is likely to be the default for accessing it's set up pages in a web browser.
A Linksys modem is likely to be 192.168.1.1
A Netgear is likely to be 192.168.0.1
This page is likely to be helpful if you device is listed.
IF it is click on it.
On the next page click on iChat.
This will tell you the defaults (if they have not been changed) to use.
It will go on to ell you how to set Port Forwarding.
DO NOT DO THAT AT THIS STAGE.
Tell us what you can find out.
Is there anything in the Port Forward settings ?
Does the device have UPnP in any of the menus ? and is it Enabled ?
Does it have Port Triggering as an option and is anything set there ?
<hr>
Re 1)
Back on the Mac go to System Preferences > Sharing
In here you will find the Firewall tab.
Click on It.
Does it say it is on ?
In the list are the Presets which may have ticks next to them (Even if the Firewall is Off) due to thinks set in the Services tab.
There is no Preset for the iChat login port, the AV ports or the Jabber ports. (there is a hangover preset from panther for Bonjour but the ports are on the wrong protocol and it misses one)
If the Firewall is On and you have not set the ports then you will need to.
The Instructions are here at the second pic.
Re NAT.
NAT is Network Address Translation.
It is the way your modem tells what data goes to which IP that is in use on the LAN it is controlling if it is the DHCP server. (it can also do it if you are Static i.e. No DHCP server and Manually given IPs).
Some devices like an Apple Airport Base Station NAT all data and do not require you to point it anywhere.
Most devices require that you point the data in some sort of way.
Port Forwarding is the oldest and most common.
This requires that you state which port the data should arrive on from the ISP side and which port is should go to on the LAN side listing an IP do go as well.
Generally this means that a port (say 5190 for iChat) can only be open for one IP (hopefully your computer).
Port Triggering also uses NAT.
DMZ (Demiltarised Zone) is an extreme form of Port Forwading that opens all the ports to one IP address but still uses NAT.
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play does not use NAT.
Read the whole of my page 4 for more info and guides on where to look.

Cant connect from laptop to tv

hi all!
my mom wants her s10-3t to be connected to our tv which has a vga pc input..
i suppose vga out from laptop to vga in on the tv?
i tried detecting the tv on the laptop but it wont detect. i also tried to check the phrase "connect to 2nd vga anyway?" or something that said like that. pressed fn+f3 or win key + P and tried all options but still no signal flowing to the tv.
i have reformatted her laptop a few months ago (for some reason) and installed all drivers that i have downloaded here in lenovo site.
before i formatted her laptop we didnt had a chance to connect it to the tv.
any help? or i must have missed some driver or something to install to the laptop from its installers? what driver is needed to help it run via vga out to tv?
i repeatedly tried installing the chipset, bios, tv tuner, vga and nothing works.

hi bklixuz,
Welcome to Lenovo Forums!
There may be few things that you might want to check.
-Most TVs has an input/source option. Make sure your TV is set on VGA source mode.
-Pressing Fn+F3 should give you an interface for display selection. if that did not appear Try pressing:
Fn + F5: Open the interface for integrated wireless devices settings (on/off).
Fn + F6: Enable/Disable the touchpad.
to test the function option if it is working fine If those did not work either then Try reinstalling Lenovo Energy management and try the Fn+F3 again.
Download it here:
Lenovo Energy Management (Win7)
IN1EGC25WW5.exe
7.19 MB
Lenovo Energy Management (WinXP)
IN1EGC25WW1.exe
4.18MB
- Try using other display VGA Cable.
Hope This helps,

My iPhone 6 won't cant connect to the Apple Store help

My iPhone 6 comes up with the message can not connect to the Apple Store? help what do I do to fix this?

Start with a restart of the phone.
If a restart dosen't help, try to reset the settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
If the reset of the settings doesn't help, then do a full reset of the device (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Content & Settings) IMPORTANT: MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR DATA FIRST

Brand new macbook- cant connect to internet. Please help!

Hi everyone, brand new macbook. i connected the ethernet and its giving me all these problems and will not connect to the internet. I tried to just let it configure automatically but even that doesnt work.
I have ethernet via time warner cable btw.
please help!
thank u!

Here is how to do a power cycle or what is called a reset.
Plug in your mac to your modem
Un plug the power cord to your modem
Wait 5 seconds, then plug the power cord back in
Give a minute or so to reboot and re-config its settings
Try clicking on safari and connecting to the internet
This should work, if not use the mac internet connect wizard to try and fix the problem.
If both of those solutions do not work then post back here.

Sat P20, I cant connect my PC to TV?

I cant connect my Laptop to Tv, i push the tv button and nothing happens, ive use s-cable.
Ive got a Toshiba Sat p20-771 Sf model.

Hi,
@Molina: Did you checked you settings i the GeForce utility (could be found in the Control Panel - Display - Advanced - GeForce) and did you installed the NVIEW utility?
Also you could try the combination of "Fn" and "F5" keys, this switches between different monitor profiles (also TV)
@MarAltai: You could also test the "Fn" and "F5" key combination when TV is connected!
Then check your settings in the control panel - display - advanced - Displays. The TV should be connected physically and also identified by the software!

1. After downloading the firmware from the given link, open iTunes and click on your device.

i cant connect my iphone to laptop. its nither charging nor connecting usb cable is okay .... can any one help ?? pls...

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.
