Connecting my 550 Powerbook with Linksys 354G Gateway Kit

Hello and help!
I've just set up my iMac with the Linksys modem router and ethernet connection and all works OK.
I now want to use the Linksys WPC54G V.5 PMCIA card that came with kit with my 2nd computer, a 550 PB..
I plugged the card into the PB and I get the card icon but I can't wirelessly connect. I've opened System Preferences/Network to try to select airport but the tab is not there. Being a 550 PB, it's never had an Airport Card.
How do I open/configure my airport?
I haven't connected the PB via ethernet through the router. Do I need to do this before trying wireless? I thought the card in the PB would pick up the wireless signal from the modem router connected to the iMac but nothing happens.
I'm obviously doing something wrong but I can't work it out!
Can anyone help set me up (as it were..)?
Thanks, Russ

Russ,
The Linksys site says that the WPC54G does not support Mac. I'm not sure of the chipset in that card, but I have a Belkin card with the Broadcom chipset that OS X recognizes as an Airport card.
Have you tried System Preferences/Network/Show Network Port Configurations to make sure the Airport is on? If the card is not recognized by the PB, Airport may not be an option.
Sometimes a second party driver will work with non-Apple cards. I checked the IOXpert site and it says that their driver will not work with the WPC54G.

I tried this driver with a PC only D-link card with no success, but maybe it will work with the Linksys:

Hope this is of some assistance.

  • Can no longer connect to internet wirelessly with Linksys WRT54G...

    Hi, all...
    I'm at my father-in-law's house. His home network setup is as follows:
    * Compaq desktop connected via Ethernet cable to
    * Linksys WRT54G, v3 (IP 192.168.2.1) connected via Ethernet cable to
    * Westell DSL modem provided by SouthEast Telephone (his ISP - IP 192.168.1.1)
    I set this equipment up for him about 18 months ago. His Compaq desktop connects perfectly to the internet, using the setup I described above, which I set up for him about 18 months ago. I *used* to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly (with both my IBM ThinkPad and my MacBook; my bro-in-law *used* to be able to connect to the internet wireless (with his Dell laptop).
    For reasons we don't yet understand, neither of us can connect wirelessly to the internet any longer. I have called Linksys, posted to their board, and read other threads here, so I am aware that MacBooks have some issues with Linksys routers. I'm getting ready to phone my father-in-law's ISP, to see if they can help.
    But... I don't understand why this used to work, but doesn't any longer. I would be very grateful for any help any of you great folks could provide, and I will gladly post here any detailed info on the setup that might be of help!
    Many thanks,

    Thanks for your reply.
    Actually the Linksys 2Wire modem works fine in OSX and when connecting via a Compaq PC I also have in the house. It is just on the MacBook running XP that it fails to "connect". XP see's the network but cannot connect.
    Also, I downloaded again bootcamp and created a fresh driver CD, reinstalled the driver and received the same error: 1706 No valid source could be found for product Macintoish Drivers foir Windows XP.msi.
    I looked at the directory on the CD and it appears that there are no driver files, only documentation.
    I called Apple, got no help, called Microsoft, spent 1.5 hours talking to them
    they were no help either.
    I sent a messge to the bootcamp beta mail address informing them that it seems the drivers are not being downloaded with bootcamp.
    Thx again.

  • Connect various ADs Resources with an only Gateway

    Hi!
    ---->My architecture is the following:
    - Two different ADs installed in three Microsoft Windows Enterprise Server 2003. (AD1.com, AD2.com).
    - AD1.com and AD2.com are trusted domains.
    - One Identity Manager 7.1 in another server (this server is not includen in any domain above)
    - Gateway running on Server with domain AD2.com. (Port 9278)
    ----> Configuration in Idm 7.1 Resources Option:
    Server: Gateway IP (AD2.com server)
    TCP:9278
    User: admin
    Password: admin
    Object: User:
    Container: DC=AD2, DC=com
    LDAP SERVER NAME = AD1.com name or IP
    (Rest of options are default)
    User "admin" belongs to AD2.com domain with Administrator privileges.
    -----> Then, when I test configuration, it prints the following error:
    Test connection failed in Resources:
    AD: Error opening object 'LDAP://DC=AD2, DC=com': ADsOpenObject(): 0X8007202B: , 0000202B: RefErr: DSID-031006E0, data 0, 1 access points ref 1: 'AD2.com' , Server has returned a reference.
    ---> Question:
    I have various Active Directories but I only want to have a Gateway that to connect to them.
    What's wrong?
    Thanks a lot.

    Thank you for your response, Rob:
    I have an error in text above in Contaner field.
    ----> Configuration in Idm 7.1 Resources Option:
    Server: Gateway IP (AD2.com server)
    TCP:9278
    User: admin
    Password: admin
    Object: User:
    Container: DC=AD1, DC=com
    LDAP Server: IP (from AD1.com server)
    So, if there are two ADs (AD1(gateway installed),AD2(not gateway installed) and I want to connect to resource AD2 through gateway in AD1, I have to configure Resource page as above I have written, haven't I?
    Otherwise, I have been using a LDAP browser (softerra) Can I connect to a AD2 in this way?
    ldap://Gateway_ip:9182/CN=Users,DC=AD1,DC=com
    Thanks a lot, Rob.

  • PowerBook G4 17" 1.5GHz & Linksys WCG200 Gateway

    Summary
    My Mac won't get the full downstream bandwidth (9 Mbits) with either wireless or wired ethernet, but my roommate's Windows computer gets the full amount (and then some) with his wired ethernet connection. My ISP and Linksys both report that everything is working fine. What's going on with my Mac?
    Full Description
    I recently got a Linksys WCG200 v.2 Gateway (cable modem/router in one device) and set it up with my ISP (Cox Communications). Our service is supposed to be 9 megabits downstream, and 1 megabit upstream. I connected to the router via wireless and wired, and have been to four different speed test sites only to discover that my downstream speed is never faster than 3.5 megabits. The upstream is still getting up to as fast as 1.3 megabits.
    I called Cox to ask them if perhaps they had not provisioned the proper amount for our account, and he verified that he had in fact dedicated 10 megabits to our account and that it was in fact being delivered to the modem at 10 megabits downstream and 1 megabit upstream.
    Next, I called Linksys to ask if there was something wrong with the WCG200 gateway and they suggested the standard reboot and reset options which didn't do anything to solve the problem. They suggested that the device may be defective and I should return it to the store where I purchased it. Before I did that, though, I tried two more things.
    My roommate has a Dell with WinXP on it, so he fired it up and tested the speed at a few different speed sites to notice that he was receiving between 9 and 12 megabits downstream and 1 megabits upstream. He was hard wired to the gateway, so I tried it again on my PowerBook, but still I was getting no faster than 3.5 megabits downstream.
    I tried calling Apple, but they just said that it was probably the gateway or Cox, but I know that's not true because if either of those weren't working/configured properly, then my roommates Dell wouldn't have been able to get the full (and then some) downstream speed. The agent simply had me remove my SystemConfiguration folder and then reinstall Tiger, which neither did anything to fix the problem. What a waste of the AppleCare Protection Plan!
    I'm pretty convinced that my last test has narrowed down the possible cause of the problem. I inserted my Cisco 350 Aironet PCMCIA wireless card to test to see if there might be a problem with either my AirPort Extreme card or the ethernet controller on the PowerBook, and to my surprise, I was able to get 5.5 megabits downstream consistently. The Cisco card is 802.11b.
    I ran one other test by jumping on my neighbor's wireless network which is rated at 4 megabits downstream, and I was able to get the full 4 megabits downstream with my AirPort Extreme card as well as with my Cisco card.
    Due to the improved functionality of the Cisco card and the fact that my roommate's Windows computer was able to get the full amount, I'm pretty convinced that there must be a problem with the way my Mac is communicating with this particular Linksys gateway device which is causing it to not receive the full downstream amount. However, I have no clue where to go from here as far as more troubleshooting techniques or possible fixes for this problem.
    Please help!

    I don't know the answer but am curious--do you need to make the upgrade because your 1.5G board is dead, or because you'd like a little more speed?
    If the latter, I think you'd be disappointed. In doing a number of upgrades on desktop machines, I've found that, although calculated benchmarks may look better with any upgrade, you need a 20-30% boost in processor speed for the increase to be noticeable in normal use. When I upgraded an old G3 from 300 to 500 mhz --a 40 percent increase--that benefit was crystal-clear. When I compare my 1.0G PowerBook G4 to my 1.25G PowerMac G4 tower (same OS, bus speed, RAM, and VRAM), I see little if any difference in day-to-day computer use from the 25 percent advantage in speed in the desktop model
    If the need is for speed, you could end up with a costly upgrade that doesn't "feel" any faster.
    As to you real question, it might be better to contact a company selling PowerBook parts to see if they can shed light on the logic board interchangeability. I've bought parts from this firm:
    http://www.powerbookguy.com/xcart/catalog/index.html
    and found him to be an excellent vendor. Call and ask--the toll-free number is on the main page.

  • Powerbook has range problem with Linksys Router. Don't Understand!

    Well, I have a Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G v4 with a secure network. I get my Mac and PC to connect with no problem when they are in the same room as the router. When I go to another room, the PC stays connected but the Mac looses connection. I never had this problem before. If you're wondering I'm using a 17" Powerbook with OSX 10.4.8
    I only have these two laptops using the router. I had v1 of the router and it went out on me and Linksys sent me v4. Well with the v1, I was able to get connection anywhere in the house with both laptops. Now, even when I'm right next to the router in the same room, the Mac is not getting a full bar, only 3/4. And when I leave the room, I get 0 on teh bar. It just doesn't make sense.
    If you have any ideas, please let me know because I've done everything to get it to work. From reseting the router completely, to setting up a secure network, to trying different channels on the router.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    Do you have the lastest V4 firmware, which is available from Linksys's web site. They also have a support forum where people list firmware issues.
    Have you considered any of the third party firmwares available? The WRT54G has publicly available firmware that others have modified to give more flexibility, some which include the ability to increase the signal output. There's a listing under third part firmware at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WRT54G#Third-partyfirmwareprojects .
    Have you tried any of the Linksys suggestions for router placement to maximize the signal? Apparently the V4 box introduced something...so this may be worth a try, too.
    You've probably looked over the Linksys support web site already (even though the support staff can't spell mac), perhaps you've also done a Google query, something like 'wrt54g v4 problems'.

    I'm looking for some help connecting linksys IP Cameras to my home network to monitor my property when I'm travelling.  I used to do this with linksys WAPS, but since I've discarded all my old linksys networking and standardized on airport, I can't get these things working.  I know that I have to identify my camera through the DHCP table and set up port forwarding and there is the problem. 
    My network consists of 4  base stations set up in a roaming network - same network name and passwords.  I need to do it this way so I don't have to switch network when I move from one side of the house to the other, go to the cabana, or my shop in the barn.  The network works pretty well since I went to a roaming set up.  Good performance, yata, yata, yata.
    However, the roaming network requires the AEBS's to be set up in bridge mode, rather than sharing an ip address.  When the AEBS is set to  bridge mode, you don't see a DCHP table or have the ability to identify your IP Cam through the AEBS - and hence, no port forwarding. 
    I am able to identify and set up my Linksys IP Cam by locating the ip address on my FIOS router, even though, it's plugged into an AEBS.  I set it up, see the video, remove the ethernet cable from the IP Cam, restart - and I can't get to it from an AEBS.  In researching this, it appears, I should be setting up the AEBS to "share an IP Address", going to the DHCP table and identifying the camera's IP address and setting up port forwarding.  However, you don't see any of the DHCP or port forwarding options in Airport Network Utility when configuring in bridge mode. 
    I'm hoping I'm missing something here and that the solution isn't to set it up at the FIOS router level, but I'm beginning to think that's my only hope.  What concerns me there is that I should be able to see the IP cam on the network without port forwarding since I'm not coming from outside, and I can't even do this unless it's connected hard wire.
    I'd appreciate any insight into this that anyone might have.  I've hit the wall with what I know.
    Thanks.

    In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
    So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
    If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

  • Error when connecting an oracle DB with Integration gateway

    I followed the steps from the blog How to connect an Oracle DB with Integration Gateway in SMP3 and the ojdbc was deployed successfully to SMP. Still, i'm getting "Driver class oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver not found" error message when i try to test my connection. The first difference i saw when completing these steps was that I'm using SMP3 SP05, could this be the issue?

    Joao D Franco Net
    Could you share below information:
    Can you cross check if deployed driver are OSGi enabled? Refer this.
    Can you share screenshot of the destination settings and error ?
    note: The blog you followed is referring to SP03 (1st GA of SMP3)..You should not have any problem in connecting to Oracle DB being on any SP.

  • Connecting to Time Capsule with a Powerbook G4

    I have 2 computers, a MacBook Pro and an older Powerbook G4. I recently upgraded to TC, and can connect fine with the MacBook, but cannot with the PB G4. the G4 can find the TC, but when i put in the password, it just says connection failed. i only want to connect to the internet with the G4, not backup as that is being done on the MacBook.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
    thanks

    Thanks for teh OS info. I thought you might have been running an older version of the Mac OS that did not support higher encryption levels. I see that is not the case.
    My MBP and PowerBook are both talking to nicely to our AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), bought right before the the TC came out. The MBP is at 10.5.8 and the PBG4 is at 10.4.11. The only problem I had in setting up the PB was was remembering the right password; I got the PB about a month after I got the MB and AEBS. I had set a somewhat different password that I normally use (getting too old to remember multiple, complex passwords) and was mistyping it.
    You might try running Keychain Access in your Utilities folder. Find the entry for the TC and double-click it. In the resulting window, check "show password." You'll need to enter your computer admin password, but the exact way you entered the pass into TC will be revealed.
    If that's not the problem and is not, as I suspect, a hardware issue, you may consider posting either in the Leopard Networking forum here:

  • Problem connecting to internet with linksys router after internet network password reset

    I do not know the model number of the wireless linksys router offhand, but it is one known to have a bug regarding connecting the internet. Others have solved the problem by buying another model number, but the person who owns it does not want to buy a new one since he does not know how to use any other one.
    What happened is our phone company (also the internet provider) was having technical problems so there no internet connection. Then, my computer opened with internet page to reset password to connect.
    Although I am able to get a connection on my wireless laptop, this other person in house is unable to connect to wired computer through linksys.

    Hi. WUSB300N is actually a wireless usb n adapter. A wireless receiver not a wireless access point or a router. You may want to check if you have a wireless Linksys or Cisco router there.

  • WRT 120N- Cannot connect to the internet with more than one PC at a time.

    Before I went on a three month vacation,I could connect 3 or 4 PC's either wireless or wired to my router with no problems at all.I have a desk top and a laptop computer which I use at home.After I returned,I found that I could connect to the internet with only one PC at a time.

    I presume that this model is a modem **bleep** router as I do not have a separate modem with my system.I have a DSL connection and the firmware version of my router is ver.1.0.If I recall,I did upgrade to the next firmware upgrade a few months after I purchased the router but I am not sure.
    I use both my PC's to run a small business venture and I am worried that resetting the router may cause some other problems and will stop me from using the internet.
    The Command Prompt information above was taken from my laptop.
    Any help will be really appreciated.
    Gerard.
    Solved!

    I do not know if the above result is what it is supposed to be but I still cannot access my router's home page.How do I verify if there is a proxy server and if there is one,how do I disable it in my browsers?This problem occured suddenly as a few months earlier all was well.It's getting rather frustrating.
    I suggest resetting the router. Make sure firmware is updated. You can download it here - http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/WRT120N. After firmware upgrade, reset and reconfigure. Just access the link below to guide you setting up the router.

  • Bonjour not working with new Cisco Gateway from Shaw

    I have a PC running Windows 7 (64 bit version) and a 2nd gen iPad.  On the PC, I have AirPrint for Windows, Shairport4w, Calibre (for e-books) and AirVideo Server installed.  These used to allow me to print from my iPad to the Samsung ML-1670 connected to my PC, stream videos from my PC to my iPad, play my iPad's music through my PC's speakers (and vice versa through itunes homesharing) and download my PC-hosted e-books to my iPad's Stanza app wirelessly. It was a like a little Bonjour paradise in my house. 
    Then I upgraded to Shaw's new Broadband 50 internet and accordingly swapped my old SMC gateway for their new Docsis 3-capable Cisco DPC 3825.  As soon as my new gateway was installed, all Bonjour-dependent apps ceased to function properly.  I can no longer find any of my PC stuff from my iPad.  Even my PC's shared iTunes library doesn't show up in my iPad's iPod app anymore.  I've disabled all firewalls (even though firewalls should not be causing this issue), restarted PC, iPad and gateway many times, restarted the Bonjour and Airprint services alone, reinstalled Bonjour from the Apple support site, set my PC as the DMZ host in the gateway, disabled WiFi protected mode in the gateway and set the wireless to use G only, and etc, and etc.  Never do I see a change.  Cisco, Shaw and Apple tech support have all referred me to each other. I am about to give up and get my own wireless router to use instead of the free one Shaw's provided, but thought I'd check here first in case some one else had found a good solution. 
    A couple of additional clues: my (wired) PS3 can see the DLNA-dependent PS3 media server on my PC fine with the new gateway, and other forums do mention similar issues with a different Linksys router.  The solution there was to enable multicast filtering in the router.  I have not been able to find this option in the Cisco's settings, but perhaps it's called something else?

    Same issue here.  It looks like another case of half-baked Linksys firmware (It may say Cisco, but it's the spitting image of the Linksys firmware).
    Apparently with some work you can get shaw support to convert the modem/router into "bridge mode" which will make it act like a regular modem.  In any case though, these "hybrids" aren't as reliable as a separate modem and router.
    Just got it today and it looks like for all of the high end features (Gigabite ethernet, wireless N) the router is still antennae-less and running shoddy Linksys firmware with bugs.  Apparently end-users are also not supposed to attempt to update the firmware (which I would have to agree with).
    At the end of the day, we're going back to a DGL-4500 which worked without a problem.
