Cant see network via wireless only LAN

hi can only see media box on network if Lan cable connected to pc via router, can only access media box to play music via explorer if wireless. can access via network via Lan cable only??so i can do backup's etc

There are a lot of things that we can consider as to why your wireless network is not able to communicate to the media hub. Take for example AP Isolation on your wireless router. Make sure AP Isolation is disabled on your router so the wireless computer can communicate to the computers on your network. Second is the wireless adapter installed on your wireless computer, make sure it is properly configured. Check if the Clients for Microsoft Network and Support for File and Printer Sharing are enabled on the Properties. Third would be the firewall, there are some firewalls that can be configured to affect only on certain interface whether it's LAN or Wireless.

  • Unable to aquire IP address on secured network via wireless.

    I have a WRT54GS which we secured the network on over a year ago. (WPA encyption setting). This christmas we got the kids one of those mini-laptops but when we went to put it on our wireless network it could not aquire the IP address. Using the ethernet cable to connect it directly to the router did allow it to get online with the LAN setting enabled.
    In order to finally get the new laptop connected via wireless we had to unsecure our system. Now we need to figure out why the laptop was unable to aquire the IP address so we can fix the issue and resecure our network. Any ideas/suggestions on the subject would be appreciated.

    Change the Wireless Chanel on the router to 11-2.462Ghz..Under Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 50,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings......and try connecting the network again..

  • Linking two networks via wireless connection

    I am looking to ‘link’ two parts of my house together to the same network… how do I do this?
    I have a WRT54G in my office(Point A) where the DSL comes in. In another part of my house (Point B) I want to add another desktop and a network device both have 100Meg wired connections at point B. How can I link A and B together via wireless while still having the devices in Point B connected to a wired hub.
    I want my WRT54G at A to control DHCP, etc.
    From looking at the Bridge WET54G it will connect to one device only. Looking at the Wireless Access Point it is not clear what the differences are as they both have only one port… Do I need an access point to attach to a hub? Therefore two products?
    Any help would be great.
    This is what I tried before based on what one of the guys in the store told me... but it did not work.
    I tried buying a USB wireless adaptor (Netgear) to add to the PC and then have the PC plugges into a $15.00 switch I picked up at Fry's. then plugging in the Sonos into the switch. The Netgear adaptor was junk and dropped connection all the time and would not work with WEP. After messing with the DNS and gatway it kind of worked, but took forever to access anything as I guess it was trashing around to with all the network paths... I really dont know, but I do know it did not work.

    hello ! so far you have been on the right track....i'll help you clear the confusion
    the WRT will communicate wireless with the WET(bridge) the bridge will be hardwired to a switch....and the othe PC and netrwork device will also be hardwired to the switch.
    The way this will work ....the DHCP will be controlled by the router...this in turn will assign DHCP ip's to all PC's/devices connected to the network.
    The PC and network device connected to the switch will get the IP from the router itself...the bridge will do exactly that.....it will bridge a wired and wireless medium.
    So go in for a WET .....and let me know if you face any issue or need any further clarification .

  • Need help setting up Pixma MX 860 on local network via wireless

    Ok, I'm at my wit's end here.
    I've spent the last two days trying to setup my printer with a connection to my wireless hub, and it simply refuses to work.
    I've tried under Win7 and Mac OS/X.
    Most recently, using Win7, I have the drivers installed, I have tried running 'ltdl-win-mx860-2_5_7-en.exe', and it sees the printer, then when it lists the access points, I see my access point.  I type in my password, and it says "Communicating with printer", then, after a few minutes, I get "The printer could not be connected to the specified access point."
    Please help me before I throw this printer through the window!
    AdvThanksance,
    -Mark
    PS  Yes, I have checked, double checked, triple checked my access point password.  That's not the problem.

    So you have a printer and wish to connect it to your network using wireless, right?
    I don't see what the Win 7 or OS-X boxes have to do with it?
    The connection you need to establish is between the printer and the Wi-Fi access point. Once that is established, everything else should flow.
    Start at the printer, it should lead you by the hand to connect to the wireless. Have you tried using the printer (not any computer) to connect to the wireless access point?
    Unless I am overlooking something else?

  • Cant see BT HomeHub Wireless

    Hi
    My newly installed BT home hub was working on Monday. On Tuesday my partner said he couldnt connect to the Internet. I checked today.
    From Win Vista I can not see my wireless connection to BT home hub (bthomehub.home) but I can see and connect to my BTOpenzone/Fon connection. When I refresh to list of wireless connections only the BTOpenZone appears. I can see my homehub from my ipod touch though.
    There has been many Windows updates installed on Monday and it looks like my BT Fon has been activated on Tuesday.
    Any advice? Thanks.

    802.11 N has a wider radius and a faster speed range but B/G are more robust (more Bang for your buck kinda thing). Im just speculating here but the BTfone might be on the same frequency are the wireless N was set to.
    Its one of the reasons i try to use 802.11 A/N instead of G/N.

  • HT4262 Can I extend a wired remote base station network via wireless WDS Remote to a Wireless WDS main base station?

    I have a wired nework in a remote closet (3 PC's to a 100/1000 Linksys switch).  I have an Apple Extreme network connected to the Internet  in another remote closet allowing wireless PC's and wired PC's access to the internet and printers.  I do not have the ability to connect the two networks together via wired although they are 50' apart. 
    My objective is to configure two Airport Extreme devices so the remote wired PCs can connect via the remote/relay Airport Extremen to the main Airport base station for DHCP, internet and intranet.
    One Aiport Extreme base station is Model # A1034 and the other is Model A1408.

    Can I extend......?
    Yes, this is possible.  But sometimes, the fact that something can be done does not necessarily mean that it should be done.  In a case like this....Upsides are far outweighed by Downsides.
    Upsides
    You will have more wireless coverage (but 50 feet is a long way if there are multiple walls or ceilings in the signal path...I am not optimistic about this)
    The Ethernet ports will be enabled on the remote Extreme.
    Downsides
    The required WDS configuration will drop the performance of your newer "n" Extreme down to wireless "g" levels.
    In addition, the bandwidth on the entire network will drop by 50%. In effect, you will have a "g" wireless network running at half speed
    WDS is difficult for most users to configure. It is very easy to make a mistake and literally impossible to recover without starting all over again with the configuration attempt
    It might work. But things are going to be extremely slow. Might be OK for general Internet browsing or light email. Any file transfers or copies from one device to another are going to take a very long time.
    You also might want to review the WDS setup required to get an idea of what is involved here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4262
    As you know, a far better way to do this would be to connect the two AirPort Extremes using an Ethernet connection. If you cannot run the Ethernet cable, you might want to consider a pair of Ethernet Powerline Adapters.
    These devices send an Ethernet signal over the existing AC powerlines in your home. So, you already have the wiring in place....you just need the adapters. I've used these devices for runs up to 70-80 feet or so with good results. But, you need to understand that there are number of factors that can affect performance here.
    So, if you want to try the powerline adapters, I would strongly recommend that you understand the store's return policy in advance. The bottom line is always this.....you won't know how they will work until you install them in your home.
    Apple's instructions for a setup using Ethernet are here:

  • Cant see images in Preview only as thumbnails

    I recently had my PBG4 17" in for apple care service. A new(I think) HD was installed with an upgrade to OSX3.9 from previous 2.8, everything seems to be working fine except for Preview. They (Apple store) did have to re-install my backed up data and now all my images that preview usually displays come up gray screen except when I open thumbnails then I see them. Can anyone help or should I take my PB back to Apple? Oh yeah and can you help me change the language when I open "About this Mac" under more info the specs are in German.(Deustch)

    Hey, i checked the box "Open in 32-bit mode", and it totally solved the prob!
    Thank you SO much, this has been driving ,me NUTS!!!!!
    Can i ask you- what "mode" was it opening images in if not 32, and why would that option not work?
    thanks again! I love you!!!
    Apple's programs default to 64bit mode in Snow Leopard. Mostly, this works pretty well, but there have been a few times where problems pop up. I'm sure that as the drivers, flash, and other programs mature, 64 bit will cause fewer problems.
    I don't know why your version of Preview is having problems with 64bit because mine is not, but there may be other factors to consider that I'm not an expert on. I suppose you could experiment to see if the problem is with a preference (plist) file. They are located at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist or com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
    If you move those two files to the desktop, uncheck the 32bit mode and the program works, then you've found the real problem. Changing the program to run in 32bit mode won't hurt, but it may just be hiding the problem instead of fixing it.
    Eiher way, 32 bit mode should be ok for a program like Preview as 64bit mode's advantages of extra ram availability or other advantages won't be missed by today's Macs. As a rule of thumb though, many users are trying to get their systems to run just 64bit applications with the theory that all 64 will help keep the system more stable. We've still got changes coming to improve the situation, including upgrades by almost all 3rd party programs like MS Office or Adobe products. SL is very much a work in progress.
    Glad the info helped you get some work done. Thanks for the

    Hello,
    I just bought my blackberry a few days go and I can’t see the display image of BBM contacts and they also cant see mine.
     The only time I could see their display image is when they change it.
     I tried changing my and they still can’t see it.
     I have tried the following
    1.       Updated OS to version 7.0.0 bundle 2406
    2.       Updated BBM to v6.1.0.49
    3.       Registered by BBM via the HRT
    Go to Options
    Select the Advance Options
    Select Host Routing Table
    Choose the “BOLD” point
    Press your BB menu
    Select Register Now
    Then it would be showing some message, “Your Handheld registered with the wireless network..”
    Restart your BlackBerry devices.
     4.       Rebooted & Restarted after each update
    5.       Removed the battery and restarted
    6.  Used Desktop manager to delete and reinstall BBM
    7. Downgraded BBM version from 6.1.0.49 to 6.0.032 to 6.0.0.25
    8. Downgraded OS system from Version 7 latest to the version 7 before it
    9. Deleted and reinstalled app world
    10. in fact i have done everything i can possibly think of and still have the same problem and result
    At first I thought this would be ok after adding several BBM contacts, but I have added up to 10 contacts today and still cant see their display image and they too cant see mine.
     I would really appreciate assistance on this.

  • Can hp laserjet cm1415fnw be wireless and lan connected at same time?

    I understand that on the printer settings it only allows you to be either wireless or hard wired to the LAN.  is there possibly a way for both settings to be on simultaneously?  I have a user here that's on an iPad and connects to our network via wireless, but at the same time has a virtual pc session from his remote office and the printer needs to be hard wired to the lan to print from the vpc session.  This is a tricky one that i can't wrap my head around.  Thanks.

    Hi sorry for the late reply, yes the address is in the same subnet as what the ssid is broadcasting at.  the issue i'm having now is that the printer is not broadcasting itself through airprint.  I can't see the printer show up when i want to print a web page.  I've tested on an ipad and an iphone.  i've gone through all the settings and everything checks out fine.  The printer is connecting to the correct network which is the same wireless ssid the ipad and iphone is connected to wirelessly.  Just seems the printer isn't broadcasting itself.  Any suggestions as to what I may be missing here?  Thanks.

  • Should I be able to see networked computers in Finder?

    Forgive me if this is totally obvious.
    Should I be able to click on Network in Finder and see networked PCs on my LAN? I can share and transfer files from a laptop to this iMac, but I don't have the laptop with me right now. I'm trying to see a different desktop PC right now. Under Network, then Servers, I only see iMac.local.
    I don't know if this is a problem or if it's just how things work...

    Hi,
    Yes you should see them if they are Sharing and on the same Subnet.
    If you know the IP of the other Laptop, try In finder, select Go menu>Connect to Servers..., then on the iMac, type in smb://ip.of.the.pc, like...
    smb://10.0.1.5
    smb://192.168.1.3
    Find IP on computers...

    "so you can't use ethernet or wireless to connect the printer?"
    There is no Ethernet port on the HP printer, nor does it have a wireless card; it is not a "network ready" printer, just a USB printer. I connected the printer to the network via a USB cable from the printer to the Airport Extreme. All the systems on the network can see the printer, show it as the default printer, but they can't print to it. When I was using the Airport Express as a print server, the printer was connected to the Express via its USB port and the Express was connected to the Linksys router via an Ethernet cable. In this scenario, everything worked perfectly, I could print from my wireless and wired systems with no problems at all.
    Your printer has wireless capablities so has an IP adress. Does a USB printer have an IP address? I don't think so, but if it does, please tell me how to find out what it is - maybe that is my problem; I didn't need this info when I was using the Express as a print server. (Maybe I just need to buy another Express and use it as a print server and forget about using the USB port on the Extreme...defeats the purpose of getting the Extreme in the first place, but at least I could stop wasting my time with all of this!)
