Connecting to wireless laptops in classroom.

Hi,
I am sure this is possible, but I am totally confused as to how to do it! ARD is installed on our PowerMac at school. I want to see all my pupils' ibook when they are working in order to help them etc. They are connected via wireless which of course distributes its own ip address. As we are within the same network - is it possible to see them? How? I have managed to connect to one eventually by creating a DMZ (disabling Firewall was not enough) and port forwarding to one ibook. The problem is of course I can only port forward to one computer. I have 15 ibooks!!! My classroom is served by a Belkin wireless router - would I benefit from using a Airport Base Station? Is this more ARD friendly - how would this be configured. Thanks very much in advance for your help.

You will not be able to see them as you can only forward the ports to one computer. The only thing I can think of that may work is if your admin computer is also wireless and thus on the same subnet (e.g. 192.168.1.x) then maybe they'll show up via a 'same network scan'.
If your computer is plugged in via an ethernet cord and the student's laptops are all wireless, then you aren't on the same subnet.

Officejet Pro l7580 Constantly loses connection to wireless laptop!!

Hi and thanks for helping.
I have an Offiecejet Pro L7580 and use it on my network, servicing a desktop and a laptop. The desktop is wired to the router while the laptop is wireless. Concerning my desktop, the printer connection is solid. It is 100% dependable. My laptop is a completely different story. I noticed that it would connect just fine and print, scan, etc... But after about 10-15 minutes it tells me that it is disconnected. This has been a continuous problem. Both systems use win.7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I found out that if I go into my D-Link DI-524 wireless router and change my wireless channel from one to another, it automatically reconnects. This means that my printer... or laptop is losing a connection due to channel activity. I have tried multiple channels in case of wireless interference from other devices. It happens all the same. This either sounds like a printer firmware problem that loses connection when the router channel cycles, or my laptops network card (even though I never lose connection to the internet). My laptop uses a buffalo mini usb wifi adapter (thanks to a widely known problem of DV series factory defects).
Please help me find out what the problem is.
Thanks,
Jason

Here are a few things to try:
1. Update the firmware on your router.
2. Set a static IP address for your printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). Yours is 192.168.0.100 to .199 Enter 192.168.0 220 for the IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Xp wired base with vista wireless laptop

HELP!!!! totally new to this stuff-I have a linksys WRT54GS V 6.0 router-have connected it to my ethernet wired XP home computer and want to add my VISTA wireless laptop to my home network with file sharing enabled. My laptop works off the net at this stage, but I cannot access files from the base computer and vice versa-what am I doing wrong??
Anyone out there able to help this newbie??

Luimar, thank you for helping. I have file & print sharing activated on all three computers (two desktop both running XP & the wireless laptop running Vista). On one of the desktops, I have an HP Deskjet 970cse, connected via a parallel cable. On the other desktop, I have an HP Photosmart 2610xi all-in-one, connected via a USB cable. Just in case...I also have new WRT54G (version 8) wireless router that I just replaced my old router with.
I thought the problem might have been that I was trying to connect a wireless laptop running Vista to a printer on a pc running XP--such that the Vista drivers were not being loaded from the desktop running XP. The Microsoft site says that this doesn't matter--that the drivers for both of these printers is already in the operating system. At this point, I have no idea what to do next.

WRT300N wont allow internet on wired DSL computer or wireless laptop

All lights are on. DSL works fine before connecting router. Connected router as shown in setup (computer to internet port on router, numbered port on router to modem) and as shown on website( computer to numbered port, internet port on router to modem). The second setup allowed the router to be detected and setup finalized. Desktop pc has no internet when router connected. Wireless laptop shows connection but no internet. Anyone have any ideas?

Reset your router by holding down the reset button on the back for 30 sec. This should get you on the net but you will need to configure your router wireless settings to secure it. Good Luck!

I cannot get my IPad air to connect to wireless in home. Two other iPad 2's connect as well as laptops. I have already exchanged one iPad air and none want to connect. Husband has taken iPad air to the apple store, connects here but not here. Who can help

Can someone please help??? I received am IPad air in November for my birthday and have not been able to use yet, I could not get it to connect so I returned it for another iPad air. And cannot get it to connect to wireless either. I have three other iPad 2's and laptops in home and everything connects with no problem. What is the deal with these iPad airs? My husband took the iPad to Apple store, it works there but didn't change anything so it won't work at home. Do I need to step down to old IPad since that's all that will connect in home. This is crazy,!!! How can I get my IPad air working in my home.???

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

HP LASERJET P110w won't connect to my new wireless laptop

Hi, I have my printer hooked up to my desktop hp via usb cable. I recently got a new Lenovo laptop and want to hook up the printer using wireless connection peer to peer. I downloaded the printer driver to my laptop but when I try to print it says "Printer in error state". I am using windows 8.1 os. Do I need to unplug the printer and reinstall or can the printer be connected by wireless and usb to 2 different computers?
Thank you for helping,
Chip

Hello chiparoo,
I see that you're trying to connect your Laserjet P1102w to your new Windows 8.1 laptop. I will try to help you with this.
To start by answering your question: you should be able to have the printer connected USB to one computer and wireless to another and have everything working fine.
When you get the message "printer in error state", is that while trying to install on 8.1 or is that when trying to print from your desktop?
This document: Installing the Printer on a Wireless Network, may help you with the wireless setup and installation of the printer. It should help guide you through the steps required to complete this task, and have the printer up and running on your wireless network.
I hope that's able to help you out and get everything running correctly. Please let me know if you need further assistance.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
I worked on behalf of HP.

HP C4780 won't print even though it's wireless connected to my laptop and home network.

Help! I just moved and am trying to set up my Photosmart C4780 to my AT&T 2Wire router (my last router was Netgear and I had no problems with installation/setup). I installed the printer and it seems to be connected to my laptop (OS is Windows 7 32-bit)and network but it just won't print (excel, word, internet page, etc.). I've run the network configuration scan, wireless network report, print diagnostic, and hardware diagnostic. Everything checks out but the test page print will not print. When I try to print some from Word, it gives me a pop up error box saying "Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup." I don't know what else to try!
Thanks in advance!

Attempting to connect daughter's laptop with a Neatgear wireless card

I am trying to connect my daughter's laptop to my network. I have downloaded Network Magic, etc. Is there an easy step-by step tutorial or checklist I can access to connect her to my router? Network Magic is telling me that I have other network connection software and it has to be disabled before continuing (**bleep**?). I am being driven mad. Just need to have a step by step list to get it connected. If necessary, I can delete everything (Network Magic, etc,. and the like) and start fresh if that is necessary. Any experts available to help? Thanks in advance,
Forgot to mention that she is using a Netgear MA 401 wireless card. Router is the WRG54S Version 7.

Which operating system you are using on the computer...?
Are you able to connect other wireless computer to your network..?
First of all make sure that your adapter is installed properly on the wireless computer..Go to the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar from the wired computer and change the wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz.Change the SSID (network name) to some unique name(not linksys)...Confirm the Network/Security key.Now,locate and try to connect the wireless network on the wireless computer.

Ive recently moved to Muscat in Oman and had wireless installed in my apartment. I can connect to my laptop but my Ipad will not connect. Any suggestions

Trying to connect to my Ipad. I've used it in coffee shops in Muscat and the hotel without any problem. I've now had wireless installed in the apartment. I can connect to my laptop but I cannot get the Ipad connected to the wireless - I've tried everything. Any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated. I've also tried Omantel who installed the wireless without any help.

Usually I suggest checking that your WiFi router firmware is up to date, but your router was just installed. Still, it might be worth checking with the manufacturer's web site.

Wireless laptop connects to the internt but doesn't appear on home network

I have two snow base stations linked together to extend my home network. The "main" station is wired into a five port hub which connects two other computers, printer, high speed internet connection. For well over one year everything works as it should. last week some win-doze users spent several nights here using our connection. Since then I have several strange issues:
1. The laptop (TiBook G4) can connect to the internet but does not show up on the local network.
2. The base stations ( I named them one and two) act in the following manner when I attempt to reach them using the Admin Utility:
B.S. One: shows up using the hardwire connection on my tower and using the wireless connection on the laptop.
B.S. Two: only shows up on the wireless connection. It will not appear on the tower.
I have shut down everything on the network: The Modem, the hub, the base stations, upon restart no changes.
I hope I explained my problem clearly Help!
Andrew

Well upon further poking around I discovered that the main Airport BS had the "distribute IP addresses" box checked which put it in conflict with the router. Now the LAN works as it did before. Only the bridged BS is not appearing in the Admin utilities on both the tower (wired) and the Laptop (wireless)... will try a hard restart...
Thanks for everyone's patience with my taking up bandwidth here.

I can connect hardwired but my wireless laptop will not recognize my router wirelessly

I have the WRT54G and for a while my laptop was working with my router wirelessly. We then hooked 4 other computers into it. At that point my laptop could connect to my router wirelessly but i could not get on the internet. So i went to the website 192.168.1.1 and tryed to change the security settings. I reset the security settings and now I cannot get on that website anymore. My laptop doesn't see the wireless signal from the router but it does work hardwired. anyone have any ideas what i messed up??? oh and by the way i have vista

did you change the router settings from your wireless laptop ?? its always recommended to change the router settings from the wired computer ...
also , on the router web interface , try changing the wireless channel - either 1 or 11 , beacon interval - 50 , Fragmentation threshold - 2306 , RTS threshold - 2307
