Connecting the I-touch to home network

Hello Everyone.
I'm having trouble connect my wife's i-touch to the house router which is a Linksys 2.4ghz Model wrt54G.
The i-touch is version 3.1.3 (7e18) model MC086LL
the wireless is enable but there are about 9 different channels (speeds) that I can use and I have no ideal which one to use.
I'm trying to connected using this.
General to Networking to VPN
Select pptp and add the informartion
I have RSA SecurID off
send all traffic on
encryption auto
or should I be using the wi-fi set up ie linksys note there is a setting already set up for this and I have no ideal what's it for.
any help would be great.

I suggest you go to the Linksys website and do two things - download and carefully read the manual for the router and download and install the latest firmware update for the router.
The touch is only going to connect via WiFi so I suggest you concentrate your efforts there. Suggested settings are DHCP on, SSID on, Encryption on and set to WPA2-psk, MAC address filtering off. Channels, which are just like a TV channel, have nothing to do with speed. You should set the router to select the channel automatically.
Do you really use VPN? The settings for the router look fine but check the manual. You can use VPN with the touch but you have to set it up (tap Settings > General > VPN). However, you do have to have a wireless connection to the internet to be able to log onto VPN servers...
Write back if you are still stuck.

  • Trouble connecting older Gateway desktop to home network

    Hi all-
    I am trying to connect an older Gateway 5200s desktop (that we have used for internet previously) to my current home network, but I'm not getting any internet connectivity.
    Home router is Actiontec M1424 wr rev E.
    the old Gateway uses Windows XP Prof v 2002 SP3
    The wireless network adapter is 1394 Net Adapter and also the Intel R pro/100 VE network connection
    (the Intel adapter says a "network cable is unplugged" and I never knew what that meant- connections have worked in the past)
    My current home system is a Dell desktop running Windows Vista home
    The old Gateway is up and running, but I just cant seem to figure out what the internet connection problem is.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Did you connect wirelessly before with this machine?  Whose wireless adapter is the 1394 network adapter? - typically that means a firewire adapter that is not wireless.

    Bob,
    Just to confirm you have a macbook air right?  If so and it is mid 2011 or later running OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion or newer you can mirror it.  If home sharing is on and ATV and MBA are on same id and network you should get the airplay icon near the clock on the mac and that should mirror your screen.
    If you have an older mac or pc a third party app called airparrot can do it for you.

  • Lost touch with home network

    I'm NOT good at networking. It drives me crazy, so please be gentle:
    I have an iMac connected by ethernet to a Belkin G Plus MIMO Router, which is connected to a cable modem. The router also has ethernet connections to two Replay DVRs, an internet telephone, and wirelessly to a laptop running Win Vista
    This morning I was online with my iMac and lost internet. After fiddling about for the better part of an hour, I plugged the ethernet from the modem directly into the iMac and the internet was just fine, so the problem is with the home network. The name of my home network still appears in the Airport "menulet" and it's checked. In Systems Preferences, in the Airport settings, it also still has the name of my home network, but it says that "Airport has the self-assigned IP address... and will not be able to connect to the internet". Is this the problem?
    In surfing this problem, I did find reference to security settings, and have checked those. My firewall is OFF.
    The laptop, of course, does not connect to the internet now that the home network isn't showing there. Likewise my iPhone doesn't show the wi-fi signal indicator.
    I'll be glad to provide further info. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Uh, it just occurred to me that maybe its the router which has lost internet connectivity. But if thats' true, would it also cease to appear to the laptop even as a "local network"?

    Sorry, I should add that 1) the internet phone still works when connected to the router; 2) when I open the router interface, it shows "connected". It THINKS its connected to the internet.

  • 2005 Mac Mini, can this connect this wirelessly to my home network as an iTunes server

    I have acquired a 2005 Mac Mini which appears to need direct cable connection to my router to access the internet.  Is there a way around this that  I can modify to access my home network wirelessly so I can use this as a stable location for my itunes library rather than my macbook pro.  The Mac mini is located in a room upstairs but my router is situated in the lounge alongside my Apple TV.  I want to try and get the mac mini to be the storage location for itunes that my apple tv will use.
    Would the addition of an airport express or the like be a solution or am I barking up the wrong tree.  Due to the age, is it likely that the mac mini can be used as a mini desktop only rather than as a file server?
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, as you have probably gathered, I am an apple novice

    Per this
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini
    an internal wifi card was optional.
    You need a USN wifi stict that is compatible with your Mac. This one shuld work

    Just mak sure that what yo get works with OSX 10.4.11 or 10.5.8. Your G4 Mini can only go to 10.5.8

  • Cannot Connect to other computers on home network

    First let me say I am a new MAC owner. I have only ever used Windows PCs. I just got my Macbook today and installed SL 10.6.2. I can connect successfully to the internet and the networked printer on my home network. I cannot however, see or connect to any other computers on the home network. We have 2 other machines, one is running Vista and the other is XP. They can see and connect successfully to my Mac. I have read through a number of threads, but have not seen anything that I understand or can find on my laptop. Can someone please let me know what I need to do to see and access the windows computers.

    Try using Finder > Go > Connect to Server > smb://ipaddress. If you can connect this way, then good. I'll have more to say later. Just try to get this working for now.
    Before trying to connect:
    On the XP machine.
    1. Right-click on a folder to share (e.g., My Documents), chose Sharing, and select both Sharing Options.
    2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
    See how this part goes. I can't remember where some things are in XP, but you may have to enable Network Discovery somewhere.
    On the Vista machine.
    1. Go > Computer > Users > User; right click on the User folder, and choose the settings that give Everyone—both Read/Write permissions.
    2. Go Control Panel > Network and Sharing Options > Turn on network discovery, Turn on file and printer sharing, Turn off public folder sharing , and Turn off password protected sharing (unless sharing won’t occur without turning it on).
    2. Restart (probably not necessary, but I’d do it).
    See how this part goes too. I can't remember some of the detail in Vista.
    On the Sno machine,
    1. Go System Preferences > Sharing > Check File sharing > Go Options > Enable SMB sharing.
    2. Go System Preferences > Network > Select Airport or Ethernet depending on what you are going to be using. I am assuming you will be using wireless below. Let me know if not true.
    3. Having selected Airport, select ask to join new networks and show Airport status in menu bar.
    4. Click advanced > click remember networks this computer has joined > Click Wins > Enter the ip address of your Win7 machine in the WINS server box > Enter the Win7's workgroup name in the workbook box unless it already is there (look in the drop down menu too). In all likelihood the name is workgroup, but check on the Win7 machine.
    5. Restart

  • My iphone 5 does not remember the password of my home network. Well this is ot the case with my ipad. The wifi gets disconnected every 2 minutes. Its not any problem with my wifi router as my ipad and other devices work fine. So how do i fix this problem?

    Well my iphone 5 does not remember my home network. This is not a problem with the wifi router as the ipad works absolutely fine. The wifi loses it connection in just 2 minutes. So could you please fix this problem.

    Not unless the modem is causing a problem.
    What you want to do is get it to work reliably over Ethernet first, then tackle wifi. Power off the modem. On your macbook, delete the Ethernet configuration and the Wifi configuration. Power up the modem, then connect the mac via Ethernet. Create the new Ethernet configuration and see if you can connect.

  • My iphone 4S is not able to connect to my home wifi network although it easily connects to others. Infact, i have tried connecting another iphone with my home network without any difficulty. So its just my new iphone 4S that is not connecting.

    My iphone 4S is not able to connect to my home wifi network (BSNL). It does detect it and even tries to connect to it but in vain. However, it connects to all other available networks easily. Another interesting thing is that all other devices including an iphone 4 easily connects to this home network. So what is the problem with iphone 4S???

    There are two ends to a wireless network. Try rebooting your router. Just pull the power for a few seconds and replug. No settings are lost.
    (The fact that all your other devices connect to the internet is irrelevant)

  • Computer shuts down ever time I connect the IPOD Touch

    My computer shuts down every time I connect my Ipod Touch. I tried holdin down the On/Off button simultaneously with the Home button as suggested in the trouble shooting section, but the computer still shuts down. The battery is fully charged.

    Hi. Actually, I have the same problem. I've had the same problem for about a month now. At first.. it took me a while to realize that my computer turned off because of my ipod being connected. Because at first, it took a couple of hours or so before it would turn off. But now, at for the past 3 weeks or so, it turns off instantly when I connect my ipod to my computer. I've been googling ways to solve this problem - but couldn't find anything, and that's where i ran into this topic.
    I know the problem isn't my ipod and ipod usb wire. I connected it to another computer to recharge, and it didn't turn off, and there were no problems. But when i connect it to my computer to update it, it turns off instantly. It doesn't even have time to update.
    My CPU has 4 USB ports, and I tried connecting it to each of them.. but the same thing happens. I don't think it's my USB ports either, because i've connected other things to the USB ports, and the computer didn't turn off like it did with ipod.
    I'd really appreciate it if an answer could be received regarding this issue.
    Thanks.

  • Can i connect the printer to a wireless network and a usb computer conneconnection at the same time

    Can I connect my Officejet Pro 8600 by Usb and wireless at the same time, I have a very slow Network at this time.

    Hello gilldenc
    To answer you question yes. You can have one computer attached via USB and to a wireless router at the same time. What router are you using? Is it your internet connection that is slow? Usually your internal home network is much faster than your internet speed.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" to those that help solve your problems.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

  • Can somebody confirm this for me: The iPod Touch's home button is smaller

    than the iPhone's home button.
    I don't know if it's just my imagination or what. But I swear it is. I also notice it's much more "clicky" whereas the iPhone's is more "soft" when you push it.

    I'm sure that the "clicky" or "soft" varies from unit to unit.
    Why is this important to you?
    We have bought an iPod Touch 3rd Gen and an iPhone 3GS.
    The iPod has a much louder "clickier" button. Very annoying compared to the "soft" iPhone button.
    Does anybody else has this issue with iPod Touch?
    My iPod button clicks. I like it; that way I know I've clicked it. It's not annoyingly loud but it does click.

  • HT1476 sos, nothing happens when I connect the ipod touch to the laptop. No charge, no turn on.  any clue?

    The I pod has gone blank and when I connect the USB wire to the laptop, nothing happens.  no sound, no power to turn on the I pod.
    how do you know if the battery is at life end.  We just got this within a year.
    please help.
    thanks

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Connect to a Windows 7 Home Network ?

    Building a Network in Windows 7 is just a matter of some clicks and it works with my several Windows machines.. But how can I connect my Arch PC to this Network? I found that I should be trying Samba for this, but it looks very complicated and obviously involves changing registry entries on windows and stuff.
    Is there no easy way?

    Don't know about your Windows, but simply install Samba, fire up the daemon, open the FM of your choice and browse the network. If one is there, you will find it.
