Connecting emac to wireless windows homenetwork

Is there anyone out there who could help me connect an emac to my current windows network. I inherited the emac and have been out of the mac world for quite some time now. I purchased an airport extreme card but when I installed it the computer wouldn't start up,(problem number one). If I get this problem sorted out will I still need the airport base station or will it connect directly just using my linksys wirless router? (problem number two). Thanks go out to anyone who replies.

Which eMac do you have? The early eMacs are not compatible with the AirPort Extreme card. Those are only compatible with the original 802.11b AirPort card.
These eMacs are 700 or 800 MHz with a 100 MHz bus and an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX graphics card.

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network

I just purchased an Apple TV. I have a pc running windows 7. It is connected to a router and the router is connected to a wireless router. I connect my iPhone, iPad and apple tv to wireless network but do not know how to put the pc on the wifi network so the Apple TV can do home share.

I don't mean to be facetious but sometimes the simplest things are overlooked. To connect to your library you have to have the computer where the iTunes library is located running and with iTunes open. It also needs to be on the same network. My network is dual band and works with either stream but a friend of mine does not. He has to set the computer and the Apple TV to the same band. Hope this helps.

I have an eMac which I want to connect to my home wireless network. My router is D-Link-601 tech 802.11n. My emac is wireless ready but does not contain an airport card. Do I need a card and an airport station? What else?

You need the Airport card OR Airport Express but not both. Considering the age of your machine, I recommend Airport Express as you will find other uses for it whenever you replace the eMac.
To set up the AE, you do need OSX 10.4 or higher.

Windows 7 computers show a Valid Trust Anchor warning message when connecting to corporate wireless

We are currently using EAP-TLS Microsoft:Smart Card or certificates" as the Authentication Method on our Radius/NPS server for authenticating domain laptops to be enable to connect to corporate wireless network.
We have a Windows 2003 Root& Issuing CA which has published computer certificates to all the domain laptops/workstations. We have also setup a parallel PKI ( Root and Issuing CA) setup on Windows 2012 OS in the same domain.
This Windows 2012 ISsuing CA has also deployed computer certificates to a cpl of testing domain workstations. So the end result, each of these testing workstations has 2 computer certificates in its PERSONAL Store for client/server auth (1)
One issued by the Windows 2003 CA (2) Other cert issued by the Windows 2012 CA.
We are noticing that windows 7 laptops are throwing a warning message similar to as shown below . I have verified that the ROOT certificate coming from both the CA's described above, is present in the ROOT TRUSTED CERTIFICATION AUTH Store on each of these
Windows 7 laptops. Surprisingly, we don't get this same warning on Windows 8 or 8.1 laptops.
Also, if i hit the CONNECT button, i am able to connect to the wireless,
but then i don't see the "Security " Tab anymore under properties of the wireless profile (SSID). I found on some forums to click on the Security Tab and further click on "SETTINGS" and check if the ROOT CA cert is present
in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities” list, . I dont get these options anymore after connecting.
These options do show up on Windows 8 machines after connecting.

in the wireless connection properties, in the dialog authentication properties you need to select root CAs which are eligible to issue RADIUS server certificates:

Lenovo G400s Wireless Connection Limited Access on Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit

Just bought Lenovo G400s, install windows 7 ultimate - 32 bit on it.
It turns out the wireless network driver need to install manually, the disc driver that came with laptop was for windows 8.1. So I went to lenovo website, put on the series and download the wirelss network driver which is around 250 MB.
I installed the driver and connect to the wireless network. My office wireless was on security and use static ip. I changed the ipv4 ip static already. It connected for a while, 1-2 second then lost connection. I checked with ping to google, got 2 records of live connection which is very short. After that it try to reconnecting itself again and again with status said "Limited Access"
I search in google, read some forums about problem in different series, so I use another computer go to Intel website to download latest driver. Got it installed, but it's still the same.
I try download broadcom driver, but it's really different and doesn't work at all.
Now I don't know what to do.
Windows 7 Ultimate - 32 bit
Inter(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 135
Driver Provider: Intel
Driver Date: 1/26/2014
Driver Version: 15.11.0.7
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows Hardware Compability Publisher
What makes it weird, although from intel website said the driver date is in 3/21/2014, and the version is 16.11.0, but this information I get from device driver was different.
Here's the intel's website if you're wondering:
_https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+Wi-Fi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Centrino%C2%AE+Wireless-N+135#&OSVersion=Windows%207%20(32-bit)*&DownloadType=Software%20Applications
Can anyone help me?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Today I want to install windows 8.1 on it, because the laptop came with windows 8.1 driver disc.
However, I try the wireless connection once again , one final try before I clean install the OS.
It turns out the internet connection is connected. Ping is quite stable, got a small drop. Nonetheless, IT'S CONNECTED!!!
I don't know what happened, I tried thousand ways yesterday and gave up. Today I don't set anything just try connecting with static IP set the ipv4 just like I did yesterday, and it connects without hassle!! is there a pc fairy or what?
The possible way I can think of is the router's internet connection's got restarted since It's a new day at office.
Despite how it solved still mystery to me, I think I mark this thread as Solved.

Wireless LAN cannot connect with the wireless router with Windows 8.1

Hi,
I currently have a Lenovo V570 laptop with Windows 8.1 running on it. I cannot seem to stay connected to a wireless wifi connection for more than 10 minutes without it going "limited" and a yellow caution exclamation icon hovering over my connected wifi icon.
When it goes limited, I cannot access the internet whatsoever and it's growing increasingly frustrating. I used to have success by disconnected and reconnecting which seemed to temporarily solve the issue, but now even that is not working.
I did not have this issue (I don't believe so) when I first installed Windows 8 on this laptop a few years ago. This is an issue I've been dealing with for over a year now and only within the past 4-6 months has it been really bad.
I found this support page here which provides solutions for my problem but after attempting all of them, unfortunately none of them worked. The only time I experience no issues is when I directly connect an ethernet cord from my laptop to the router.
The wireless problem exists for all wifi connections, whether it be my university wifi, home wifi, local, etc.
Can anybody please help me out? I'd be more than happy to provide additional info to get this problem fixed once and for all.

Can't connect to iMac wirelessly from Windows XP laptop

I am trying to connect my laptop with Windows XP wirelessly to my iMac for internet access.
I am able to connect to my iMac with my iPhone, iPod touch and another friends iPhone, and I have access without any issues. (Of course!)
I have deleted out the wireless accounts completely in the PC and rebooted. Tried again, and the PC sees my iMac's SSID. I click on connect and I input the network key as I have it set for WEP security. It takes a while to try to connect then it seems to time out.
On my iMac I have internet and file sharing enabled. I have also enabled Share files and folders using SMB (Windows).
I know that the PC is also able to connect to open networks without security.
My iMac is plugged into the modem, and I am using Airport for the wireless access point. I have unplugged the modem and let it sit for a few minutes then plugged it back in along with a restart.
I have tried to find information reading through various forums but the answer is eluding me. Help or a nudge in the right direction would truly be appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple DIscussions!
If the other wireless devices have no issues connecting wirelessly to your Mac's shared internet connection then it is most likely configured it properly, so the issue would be with the PC's configuration.
Have you tested the network without security? Does the PC connect and have access to the internet? If so then you may be using a WEP key that the PC cannot use. Non-Apple devices need a 5 character password for a 40 bit WEP key and a 13 character password for a 128 bit WEP key. Those instructions show in AirPort Options of the Sys Prefs/Sharing pane when you configure Internet sharing from Ethernet to AirPort.

Can no longer connect to encripted wireless.

Hello,
I am running a wired and WPA TKIP Encripted wireless network through a WRT350N and Netopia DSL modem. I have a Western Digital Mybook Premium 500GB hard drive connected for storage.
The system had included 2 XP Home PCs one using a Linksys WMP54GS Wireless PCI adapter and the other using a Netgear “G” USB adapter configured through Windows since the Netgear software would only do WEP. There are also 2 laptops one being an older model with the Linksys “G” PCMCIA and a newer Core2Duo using Intel Proset.
February I built a New PC which I connected via CAT5 which required moving the WRT350N, modem and 500GB MyBook into the computer room. In this room we also have our Dual mode 2.4 Ghz Linksys CIT300 Skype phone and our 2.4Ghz main phone. The new PC also has a Logitech G7 mouse using 2.4Ghz wireless. Everything ran smoothly for just over a month.
Around the same time as the start of the network connection Issues I swapped the Motherboard in the New PC with an SLI version and set the machine back up still using CAT5 and no wireless.
I cannot say for certain that we didn’t have any issues before the time of the swap but it did become very noticeable around the same time and I just want to cover all the bases.
What happened is the wireless PCs slowed down a bit and then the Netgear connected PC started to have disconnect issues that were very noticeable since it was the machine that pulls our e-mail. We then noticed the Linksys G Desktop having connection speed issues and then finally all the wireless machines will no longer connect via encrypted wireless at all. If I reset the Router they connect without a problem. I can change the SSID and turn off the SSID Broadcast without a problem but the moment I turn on WPA Personal, TKIP, and set a password they all lose connection and will refuse to connect. I have sat down at each machine and deleted the wireless profiles and set them up with all the same SSID, Security, and keys but they will not connect.
I even ran Net Stumbler on my Laptop to look for other wireless networks but only find one on Channel 11. Mine shows up too but at Channel 1 using the 40Mhz channel. Network mode is set to Mixed, Radio band is auto, Wide Channel is auto, Standard channel is also Auto.
Is there anything else I may be missing? I have reset the router many times and have tried restoring from saved configurations but nothing works at all. The only thing that works now is the wired connection. L
I sure hope Linksys reads these forums because they sure do not read their tech support e-mails!
I look forward to any help.
Thanks,
Martin

First of all, re-download and re-install the latest firmware for your router. After installing the latest firmware, make sure you reset the router to factory defaults, then set up the router from scratch.
Next, make sure you have a unique SSID (don't use "linksys" ), and turn on SSID broadcast. Turning on SSID broadcast makes it easier for your computers to find and stay connected to your router. I used to recommend that SSID broadcast be turned off for security reasons, but this is no longer required because new "cracking" techniques have made this old trick useless.
As a test, turn off all your 2.4 GHz devices and unplug them from the wall. This would include your phones, wireless mouse, and any Bluetooth, wireless baby monitors, microwave ovens, wireless keyboards, etc. Also, turn off any 5+ GHz phones, as some of these also use the 2.4 GHz band. See if this makes a difference.
Since your Netgear "would only do WEP", I don't understand how you ever got it to work before with WPA encryption. Please explain. Are you saying that the Windows software was doing the WPA for you?
Update you computers with the latest drivers for your wireless adapters.
As infinityx mentioned, update Windows XP to at least SP2.
It sounds like you may have the Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg card. If so, this card is known to have connection problems. The problems with this card worsened with a recent Windows update, but were fixed with the latest driver. Go to the Intel web site and download and install the latest drivers.
Also, you can try another channel on your router. Since you have a neighbor on 11, try any channel 1 thru 6. (Always try to stay at least +5 or -5 channels from your strongest neighbors.).

Unable to connect to home wireless network with my iPod touch

I've had my iTouch for several months now and I'm still not able to connect to my wireless network at home. I've tried the resets and other suggestions I've found in the discussion groups but nothing has worked.
I have an older Netgear Router MR814v2 and it is unsecured. It is attached to my old desktop, HP Pavilion running Windows ME, which is not able to run the itunes software. My HP laptop is where my iTouch and iTunes software is installed.
The iTouch displays my network with good signal strength, but when I try to connect I get the "unable to join the network "NETGEAR".
Going to my router, it does not recognize my iTouch as an attached device. Why is that and what am I missing?
Thank you for all suggestions and your help.

I tried powering down the router. When it's off the iTouch does not recognize the network and then when it's powered on again, the iTouch recognizes the network. Unlike the public wi-fi spots that my iTouch responds to, where all the info like IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS etc are populated in the settings...my iTouch does not populate these fields at home even though it recognizes the network. I still get the unable to connect to network error. Could it be that my router is antiquated and can not support the iTouch? Like I said earlier, my Router does not recognize the iTouch as being attached to it.

Can no longer connect to my wireless network started today

every time i try to connect to my network it says connection timed out. i can connect using cable... and my windows laptop is connecting to the network wirelessly. Any sugestions

Be careful…
There are two pieces to connecting to a wireless router, getting connected to the network itself and getting an IP address.
If the AirPort icon shows you as connected that means you are connected to the network (and any passwords required have been accepted); the self-assigned address means you haven't been able to get an IP address from the DHCP server on your network.
If that's the case, the next question is why, and to figure that out you need to know who normally assigns IP addresses on your network - a cable or DSL modem, some other machine, a wired router or your wireless router - and try and debug things from that end.
I've mentioned before cable modems as an example; they typically only assign one to three IP addresses and often need to be power cycled before they will assign any more. This is cable companies' way of having multiple hosts slam the modem with data; if you have to have another router in the path the router to modem link becomes the bottleneck, not the modem itself.
So the next question is who is responsible for assigning IP addresses (via DHCP) on your network?

I can't connect or print wireless

I have the hp photosmart c4780 and I used the USB wire to connect it to my computer after installing the software off the internet as I lost the software it originally came with. So with that being said, on my little Eee asus netbook windows 7 I can print with the printer when it's connected via USB only! Also I use my printer mainly for printing coupons or documents, and if anyone's familiar with <a href="http://www.coupons.com" target="_blank">www.coupons.com</a> then you'll know they have an app for most all tablets and smart phones and so I downloaded it on both my ipad 2nd generation and my iPad mini, and I was able to print coupons wirelessly via the coupons app only, not via the <a href="http://www.coupons.com" target="_blank">www.coupons.com</a> through my safari browser. So I'm just not sure why I can't get it to connect wirelessly, when I went through the installation and set up process I went through the option of switching to wireless rather than USB and I thought it went smoothly but any other way I try to print from my computers or iPads it will say that the printer isn't discovered. I've also made an account with th hp connect, I've got the eprint hp app on both iPads and I'm having no luck! Also, my printer is just now I'm noticing also, offline i dont know how that happened, but when I printed the wireless network test report along the top it's saying that " MAC ADDRESS FILTERING MAY BE ENABLED ON YOUR WIRELESS ROUTER, THIS CANT PREVENT YOUR PRINTER FRIM CONNECTING TO YOUR WIRELESS NETOWRK DURING SETUP. IF YOU DO HAVE MAC ADDRESS FILTERING ENABLED AND WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT ENABLED YOU MUST ADD THE MAC ADDRESS OF YOUR PRINTER TO THE LIST OF PERMITTED DECICES FOR YOUR WIRELESS ROUTER BEFORE CONTINUING. THE MAC ADDRESS FOR YOUR PRINTER CAN BE FOUND ON THIS TEST REPORT.***" And I can see below on the print out where my MAC address is, however this isn't helpful because I don't know what MAC address filtering means nor if it's bad or good, or how I can change it accordingly. And in the diagnostics summary below it says NO FILTERING: FAIL I'm unsure as to what that means? So if anyone can help me I'd so greatly appreciate it, I also tried to find that claim code that I was supposed to be able to find when i do the print out on my printer and I can't see it on the test report or the configuration page. So, so far I've just reset the printer itself to default settings. And from here...well...as you can see.. I NEED HELP!?!? Please and thank you!

Hi HBS4026,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I think that the root issue you are experiencing is the printer is not connected to your wireless network, and as a result you are running into several issues.
wikiHow’s How to Find the MAC Address of Your Computer has a nice and non-techie description of what a MAC address is and how to find it. By turning on the MAC filtering for your router, is a way of telling your router that only the devices with an approved MAC address will be allowed to connect to your network.
Most customers with home wireless networks don’t use this feature, as it can take more time to maintain than a person would like to give. It requires that you add/maintain the MAC address of any device that will be connecting your to network, including, but not limited to, iPads, tablets, Smartphones, iPhones, computers, laptops, etc.
Please start by turning the router off. If your router doesn’t have an on/off switch, please disconnect the power cord. After waiting a full 60 seconds please turn the power back on (or plug the power cord back in). Hopefully the network test report will give us a pass on No Filtering.
If MAC filtering is turned on (I suspect it is on) and you don’t want to use this feature, please contact the manufacturer of your router on how to turn this off. I do think this is the root of your connectivity issues.
Once you have confirmed that MAC filtering is off we should be able to get everything working wirelessly by following the information below.
Let’s start with your Windows 7 laptop. I’ve included the How Do I Find the Best Windows 7 or Windows 8 Driver for My Printer? document. It will walk you through downloading HP’s Printer Install Wizard. This will also help you connect the printer to your wireless network while ensuring you have the right driver for your printer.
Once you’re printing from your laptop wirelessly, please try test printing something from the notes app on your iPad. If your router supports Bonjour, the communication method for Apple’s AirPrint feature, you should have no problems printing. If you are unsure, I have included a post by Shirlzz1 that will walk you through downloading an app to check.
As for printing from coupons.com using the Safari browser on your iPad it comes down that the iPad is considered a mobile device requiring the app as an interface.
I think I’ve addressed everything that is plaguing you. If I haven’t please let me know. In addition, if anything goes askew while doing the above, please let me know at which step things went wonky and the contents of any error messages and where they were displayed.

Lenovo 3000 N100 notebook cannot connect to my wireless network

Hello,
this is my first post. I am new member. I also am a very novice/amateur computer user and so I need some help from some pros or anyone that has experienced a similar problem and can help fix my laptop. I have a Lenovo 3000 N100 laptop model number 0768 6EU. About a week ago I updated/downloaded a bunch of software upgrades from Lenovo's website recommended for this computer. Prior to this download I was able to connect to my wireless home network. But after the download of various required/recommended software upgrades it no longer connects to the wireless home network. my other laptops connect so I know that it is not my wireless router. I have tried various things recommended by the ThinkVantage access connection on my computer but I get the following on that: signal strength: 0%, status: disconnected, IP address: not assigned. I also ran the diagnostic tools and it gave me the following: connection status: disconnected, cause: wireless stack initialization failed, error code: 118, recommended action please check the wireless driver installation. I even went to the Intel wireless 3945 abg hardware properties window and pressed the tab to revert back to the prior driver for the wireless card. I would appreciate any help. I know this message/post is long but it is the only way I can explain what is going on

Hi
I have this problem also with my Lenovo 3000 V200.
Sometimes when I boot up the PC it will connect to the network and everything works just fine.
At other times, after boot, the "wireless stack initialization failed, error code: 118" problem occurs
and the only way to solve it seems to be a PC restart. Nothing else I do will bring the network up.
If I study the Networking tab in Task Manager it indicates that no adapters are available (wired eth.
access also fails). At a few occations connectivity have failed alltogether (i.e. a reboot have not solved
the problem). Last time this occured I had to reinstall the complete system (from a previous backup)
to get networking up.
I have tried different versions of Access Connections (5.02, 5.12, 5.21) and the same problem occurs
at seemingly random instances in time. This is obviosly a problem with the Access Connections software
since the Wireless networking works fine when I let windows manage it...
Anyone with a fix?
