Connecting to wired system

Bought a new laptop, which I'd like to connect to wirelessly.  Bought a WRT54GS wireless router for this purpose, to hook into my wired desktop system (an older system running on Windows 98SE).  The router comes with a CD, which the box emphatically states I should run first.  But do I run it on the wired desktop (98SE) or on the laptop running XP?  Does it even matter? I'm primarily concerned with having wireless access for the laptop, but it would be bonus if I could also network with the wired system already in place, if only to share the printer.
Thanks in advance for responses.

Thanks for the response.  That's what I thought, but I've also been reading many posts describing problems with 98SE compatibility.  If I didn't have a pre-existing wired system, wouldn't I HAVE TO run the software on the laptop (if I wasn't concerned with networking the desktop)?   Or to ask another way, if my only concern is connectivity for the laptop (rather than including the desktop in a network), is it possible (and would it make sense) to just run the software on the laptop?

  • Not Connecting to Wired Network and Forcing the loss of all Connections on the Home Network

    Just got a new G550 laptop  w/Win 7 OS. Tried to connect to wired router and got message "network cable not connected". Recycled laptop and router and came up with router connected to the laptop. Same message after search and identify steps finished. I then noticed I lost connection to the net/router with my other home networked units as well! Tried another cable, same results along with losing the entire home network connection. Disconnected the G550 from home network, via the cable, and the home network reconnected without any intervention. Tried another reboot directly connected to the cable modem, no go there either!
      I also rebooted with the wireless search shutoff and got the same problems as on the wired attempt. Thought it might have been the NIC card so I exchanged the system back at the store.  Sorry, same problem!! 

    I have a very similar problem... New Lenovo G550, running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Right from the start it causes my TrendNet TEW-432BRP router to crash every 10 seconds. I bought a new DLink WBR-1310 and experience the same problem. Connecting to either router through either a wireless connection or a LAN cable connection causes the router to crash every 10 seconds. The router crashes, reboots, establishes a connection with the laptop, communication starts and then the router crashes again.
    I am looking for help.

  • Windows 8.1 - Windows Couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service

    I have an issue that has been bothering me for a while on new 8.1 computers. Standard users are not able to log into the computer on the first try consistently. They receive the error message: Group Policy client service failed the sign-in access is
    denied. They are stuck at the logon screen.
    If an administrator logs in (local or domain), they can log in but get a black desktop with two error messages. The first is Location is Not available - C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable. The second error message is a popup
    balloon. It states "Failed to Connect to a Windows service. Windows couldn't connect to the System Event Notification Service service."
    When a standard user attempts to log in, event viewer records three warnings. They are listed in order from oldest to newest
    The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> was unavailable to handle a critical notification event. -Logged 9:14:44
    The winlogon notification subscriber <GPClient> failed a critical notification event. - Logged 9:14:44
    The winlogon notification subscriber <Profiles> was unavailable to handle a notification event. - Logged 9:14:49
    After a reboot, users still have the issue. I noticed that the user profile services and system event notification service are not running though their startup type is automatic. They start after a minute or two.

    Hi Joseph__Moody,
    Based on your description ,I assume it is a domain environment .First of all ,I would suggest you to try to update all the machine .
    "I have an issue that has been bothering me for a while on new 8.1 computers"
    Do you mean all the Windows 8.1 machine share the same symptom or just a specific one ?Did the machine work correctly before ?When did the issue start to occur ?Have you installed any third party software before ?Can we operate the machine when we login with
    an administrator account ?
    If the issue occurred with the specific machine :
    "The first is Location is Not available - C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\Desktop is unavailable."
    Please try the following suggestions if we can operate the machine when we login with the administrator account :
    Open Windows Explorer and navigate to: C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile and verify if it has the Desktop folder there.If the folder doesn`t exit, we can copy from C:\users\Default\Desktop location(This folder is hidden by default).
    We also can try the following suggestions to have a troubleshoot :
    1.Run "sfc /scannow"or "dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" to check the health of the system files.
    2.Perform a full scan with an antivirus software.
    3."They start after a minute or two."
    I suspect there is a third party service confilct here. Please perform a clean boot to verify whether there is a third party conflict here .
    How to perform a clean boot in Windows
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135
    If the issue occurred with multiple machines in the domian ,I would suggest you to check whether you have configured any logon scripts and logon group policy .We can remove the machine from the domain to have  a troubleshoot .
    If the issue occurred recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous normal point.
    Best regards

    Hi Jason
    I was getting the same behavior after Apple support had me delete some plist files to get Airplay going. I was also getting the following error:
    the error occurred while processing a command of type 'writesettings' in the plug-in 'server vpn'
    I went into ~/Library/Preferences/ and /Library/Preferences/ and deleted every plist contating the word server. I had to re-set up my server (meaning walk through some intial steps) but all of my settings were still there after that and everything started working again.
    Just a thought, obviously try at your own risk but it worked for me.

  • CALL_FUNCTION_OPEN_ERROR in CRM while trying to connect to ECC system

    Hi All,
    We are having issues while connecting to ECC system from CRM at specific point of time.
    It occurred only once yesterday . Since it is a production system, we need to investigate the cause of the issue.
    Upon checking the logs, I can see dumps in ST22 stating CALL_FUNCTION_OPEN_ERROR while trying to connect to ECC.
    This issue has been faced by multiple users at the same time.
    Both CRM and ECC are in the same server . There are no errors in ECC system ,
    The error description says
    Error opening RFC connection
    Error text........... "Group USER not found"
    Description.......... "LgIGroupX"
    The response time is fine for the system and during the time when the error occurred.
    Both the systems are in kernel 720 patch level 416.
    There are no errors in dev_rd and dev_ms as well.
    The errors in trace file also give information that ECC system cannot be reached.
    However our ECC system was available , up and running and there were no issues at that time with ECC.
    I have attached the dump, kernel and patch level details , work process trace files and the response times.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    Sowmya.

    *Question -1*
    I have checked the connections and typed the steps below - what i have seen in the screen.
    Steps :
    R/3 Connection - I have double clicked on the BT1CLNTXXX and tested the connections.
    Connection Type :
    Logon - 0KB , 10 KB , 20KB, 30 KB
    R/3 connection:
    5 msec, 0msec, 1msec,1msec,1msec
    Please let me know whether RFC connection is OK or not.
    Question - 2
    I want to know is there is any option to check before transporting the TR from Developement to Quality - "Preview Check " the sequence , so that we can avoid the Transport failure because of TR sequence.
    Regards,

  • Can I connect a wired device to access network?

    I have an Airport Express set up as "Join a Wireless network" Can I connect a wired device to the ethernet port of my AE so that it can access the network?

    The Ethernet port is normally enabled in the "Join" mode,  if you have one of the newer 802.11n models of the AirPort Express.
    If you have an older "b/g" version of the Express, the Ethernet port is not enabled in the "join" mode. Check the model number on the side of the Express. If you see A1084 or A1088, this is an older version of the Express.
    Test your current Express to see if the port is already enabled by temporarily turning off the wireless on a laptop and connecting the laptop to the Express using an Ethernet cable. See if you can get an Internet connection. If you can, you know the Ethernet port is working.

  • Connecting to BW system through VPN in Design Studio

    Hi Experts,
    I tried to connect to my client BW system through VPN and used the URL in my Design studio, but when I connect like that the Design Studio is working very slowly and hanging several times,  If I connect to the same system via Lumira it is working fast.
    Can you please suggest me what are the cautions I need to take when I connect to BW system via VPN to make my Design Studio work fast with out hanging several times on my local system.
    Thank you,

    Hello Hari
    remember that Design Studio is a live connection and in Lumira you can use a BW offline connection which downloads the data.

  • Trying to connect my wired PC to the wireless airport express via the wireless router.

    Trying to connect my wired PC to the wireless airport express via the wireless router.  TP-link wired/wireless router.  Ultimate goal is to send music from iTunes on PC to wireless router, then to airport, then to reciever.  The amber light is blinking.  Thanks in advance for the help!

    If I'm understanding right your need and your computer has wired access to your network/router, all you have to do is give your AX wireless or wired access to your network too.
    Wired should be easier.  Just use a network cable to connect to the router.  Power up the AX and look for it on AirPort Utility, do so without changing any of your computer settings.  If it's visible, then on iTunes your AX should be visible on the AirPlay icon at the bottom-right corner.
    If you want to connect your AX to your router wirelessly I would suggest to reset your AX settings by pressing and holding for a few secs the reset button next to all the ports.  Once it is reset, using your computer try to look for the wireless network it'll be creating, it should be something like Apple Network 4341eb.  Join that network and, using the AirPort Utility, configure your AX as a network client.  Go to Wireless > Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network.
    Select your router wireless network from the drop-down menu, select the appropriate security and type in your password.  Click update.
    It'll restart and automatically join your network.  Have your computer join back your router network and, again, in iTunes bottom right you should be able to see the AX speakers.
    Let me know if this worked.

  • Crystal Report connecting Multple ECC systems

    Hi,
    I am working on crystal where I compare the data between to two diffrent databases(ECC tables). I am using SAP Table, function mudule option to create connection.
    I have built a main report against ECC system A and imported a sub report built on ECC system B. Now I see that connection in my main report is overwrting the connection in the sub report. If I change the connection in the subreport with set data source location it changes the connection of both sub report and main report. After I deploy this report to infoview, in cmc I see only one database connection.
    Is this a bug or can we have only one connection to ECC system per one crystal report even if it has sub reports?
    Thanks

    Yes that happens automatically, I just checked the same logic with universes built against oracle data source, I could see two coonections in the CMC. Its like its there is this issue when I am connecting to sap tables directly

  • Boot Camp Assistant says There is no USB drive connected to the system

    I have a mid-2012 11” Macbook Air and a USB Superdrive. I am trying to use Boot Camp Assistant but it is not letting me proceed. With the Superdrive plugged and Windows 7 (full version) DVD in the drive, I get the message “No USB Drive” – “There is no USB drive connected to the system. Please insert a USB drive to continue.”
    I checked using Finder and Go->Computer and there is the Windows 7 installation DVD mounted properly. The Superdrive spins up when I plug it in. I tried both USB ports. I tried re-booting with the Superdrive attached. The laptop is plugged in and there is an internet connection. It is running Mac OS X 10.8.3. I read the Installation and Setup PDF guide and there was no mention of the problem. I searched these forums and found that two other people are/have experienced the same problem, but there is no posted solution.

I have tried with the Superdrive attached with Window 7 in the drive, with a blank DVD and without the Superdrive.
    You are not following the Boot Camp instructions. Did you select the option to read the instructions? When running Boot Camp Assistant you are given the option to download the support software. If this is selected you must connect a usb stick that is correctly formatted per the instructions. At this point in the process you sshould not have your superdrive or Windows dvd connected.
