G4 powerbook and G3 desktop with linksys help

In either case, laptop, or g3, I can type in the linsys router address and get to config page, but on either - I cannot access the internet. On my laptop, wirelessly - I have tried the WPA password avenue and all kinds of different scenarios, then I realized it was not just wireless, but also the desktop that has ethernet cable to linksys...
I just don't get it...?? What am I missing?

Hi dratatat:
What type of connection are you using? Cable or DSL? If it's a cable, DHCP configuration will work in the router, if you have a DSL, you probably have to set it up to use PPPoE.
I hope this helps!

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'.

Permissions and memory problems with Yosemite HELP!

I have had nothing but problems since I upgraded to Yosemite. My graphics programs crash and run impossibly slow. I have to restart constantly to clear maxed out memory. My internet speed drags to a crawl, and I constantly have to repair permissions to open files THAT I CREATED. I can't open file attachments from Outlook either (I will NOT use Apple Mail - my clients use Outlook, so I have to as well).
I am getting really angry. This is costing me time and money.
Please tell me there is a fix and how to do it.
Thanks.

Here's the report from EtreCheck:
Problem description:
Permissions constantly block me from opening my own and other people’s files. Graphics programs are slow and crash. Memory maxes out, requiring frequent restarts.

Xbox 360 live lagged and disconnect often with Linksys WRT300N router

I live in a two story townhouse with the modem and wireless router (Linksys WRT300N) located in the upper floor and the Xbox 360 system with wireless adapter in the bottom floor. Our laptop works fine with good connection but the Xbox live gameplay lagged big time and disconnect often. What are we doing wrong?

Configure the X-BOX using static IP....subnet mask ....gateway & DNS numbers as in the range of router ....
Also use the wireless settings same as in router
Forward the ports 88 & 3074 .... .on router .....
See above settings make any difference

Your wireless network will probably just work without any fiddling You could also launch your 'Airport set-up assistant' which should be in your Utilities Folder.

I want to use my iPod shuffle with two computers I have at home: my laptop and my desktop. How do I do this?

I have an iPod shuffle. On the Apple Help it says that the iPod can be used with more than one library. Is this true? I have a laptop with a library on it and a desktop with another library.

I believe it's true for the 3rd and 4th generation iPod Shuffle, but not for the earlier generations.

IDOC and ALE Configuration with cross application with SD

Hi Sap Gurus,
Please send me some document on IDOC and ALE Configuration with cross application with SD.
Please send me the material on my mail id [email protected]
Regards
shekhar

Dear Shekhar,
concerning EDI concept in SD: the EDI concept is intended to realize the sales and distribution process completely automatically with the help of electronical documents. These documents are sent from one customer to another, are processed mostly on the background and give a possibility to realize the sales process extremely efficiently.
If MM-customer would like to purchase the goods then he creates the IDOC of type ORDERS and send it to SD-customer. On the SD-side the IDOC is processed via the function module IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS and creates the sales order. As confirmation the SD-side can send to MM-side the Order-Response IDOC (function IDOC_OUTPUT_ORDERS). The MM-customer can every thime send a change to the existiong order, then on SD side the ORDCHG IDOC will be processed. It can change the order like in VA02. The creation of the invoice can be made via IDOC of message type INVOIC (function IDOC_OUTPUT_INVOIC).
So, the process can be realized completely automatically between SD and MM partners with the help of IDOCs: ORDERS, ORDCHG, ORDRSP, INVOIC.
That's all concerning the SD-EDI.
Additional processes in SD, where EDI are used:
1) application of delivery schedules to the scheduling agreement: IDOC of type DELINS
2) creation of a delivery order to the scheduling agreement: IDOC of type DELORD
3) creation of external agent service delivery to scheduling agreement: IDOC of type EDLNOT
4) creation of credit advice / credit memo in the frames of self-billing: IDOCs of type GSVERF, SBWAP and for external invoice creation SBINV.
It is all processes which are realized in the SD module via EDI.
I hope this info helps.
Kind regards,

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.

I need to use my iMac to run some Windows software and was thinking of using Parallels Desktop 9 to help with this. Do you still have to partition your drive with Parallels and does this leave you open to viruses?

I need to use my iMac to run some Windows software not available for Mac and was thinking of obtaining Parrallels Desktop 9 to help with this. If I use Parrallels do you still have to partitian your drive and does this leave you open to viruses?

You do not have to partition your drive - Parallels creates a disk image which contains your Windows installation. You do have to exercise anti-virus measures in the Windows partition, although such malware cannot affect the Mac filesystem.

Linksys WRT54G3G and IBURST desktop modem is it possible?

I am located in South Africa and I am using an Iburst wireless desktop modem to connect to the internet.
I have a Linksys WRT54G3G router and would like to set up a wireless network and use my Kindle on WIFI as well.
Is the unit compatible with Iburts Desktop?
Any help out there please.
Thanks Mark

If you would like to cascade the router behind your modem and use it as a DHCP then it is possible. Just make sure that the computer was able to grab an ip address and was able to get online behind the modem. Check on the link below for further information on how to setup your router. Though the link is for the installation of the router for cable internet but the installation process is just pretty much the same.

Powerbook G4 12" 867mhz with dvd/cd drive problems - please help!

Hello all,
Just realized this thread should have been in this section. I put it in the using your powerbook section. Sorry for the double post. I just wanted it to be in the right section.
I have just inherited a powerbook g4 from a family member who is upgrading to a new machine. It has dvd/cd drive problems. I'm totally new to OSX and a notebook machine and need some assistance. I've been briefly scanning the forums here and noticed problems with these drives on the model computer. Is there a way to fix this with an install of older software? Here is the problem, if I insert a cd into the super drive it mounts on the desktop, and itunes will play it but it skips and sounds very distorted. I haven't tried a dvd but was told it doesn't even see the dvds on the desktop. Here are the know specs on the machine:
867mhz
640 mb ram
mac os x 10.5.1
boot rom version 4.5.5f4
the burner info: matshita dvd r uj-015
firmware version: docb
Thanks in advance!

Good Morning Mac,
According to your posted specs for the 12" G4PB you have the bare minimum requirements for Leopard. Even Tiger (10.4.11) should have 1GB RAM for decent performance (see my signature specs).
An easily installed 1GB RAM stick can be obtained at either of these reliable vendors:
http://eshop.macsales.com/ or http://www.crucial.com/
However, we are getting ahead of ourselves. Try the following in this order:
Repair Disk Permissions with /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair DP, then do the following:
Run Repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk ........
Insert disk and re-start holding down the 'C' key until you see the spinning gear.
At Installer level...... DO NOT CONTINUE
At top left, use 'Utilities' Menu for Tiger or later and go 'Disk Utility'
Select your HD volume with Operating system on...
Select First Aid tab then select Repair Hard Disk button
If "RED" errors are repaired, run again, until none are reported then +run again+ just to be sure you are OK
Do NOT continue with the Installer... QUIT the Installer and return to the Finder ......... Eject the Disc
RESTART ..... Repair Disk Permissions .... AGAIN!
Try the above stuff first .... if that doesn't help, we will get into the "RESETS" steps next!

Need Help with Linksys router broadband-b

I have a Linksys wireless-B broadband router for some reason it just went crazy on me. My wireless card is a wireless - G . Now when i had Verizon DSL i got this router and a USB wireless adaptor from verizon. I had the usb adaptor on my wife computer and the router and modem on my notebook for six months we had there dsl service until we moved to a nother city. Once we had all of our service's transfered to the new home we could not get verizon DSL there.
So for a nother six months we had to use dial up and being that we run a home business dial up was just not up to the task. Well we got rid of dish network just to get cable T.V. just to get the cable broadband service. That's when i got a wireless card for my notebook anyway for six months the network was working just fine with the router and my wireless card.
Until Sept this year just a few weeks ago the router started going crazy. Before my note book was config for windows to connect linksys was connecting and i would see all conection in the site survey, and my own network also. Until a few weeks a go my network would not show .
So i call linksys the have me download some up dated firmware that would not install on my notebook or my wife computer after being on the phone for hours with linksys they come to tell me that the router is ok and working alright after all the test and steps they took me through with the router. Linksys tells me that there is something wrong with my PCM slot on my notebook or either my linksys wireless card. Ok First of all i can pick up signal on other networks and go on line like the Hilton Hotel when i go in there parking lot, Second i can pick up othr networks and get on line that are not secured sometimes so this tells me that there is Nothing wrong with my PCMI slot or the wireless card.
Now i took my router across the street to a friend house and guess what he gets a signal off the router with his notebook but i can not and when we plug the router in the AC outlet the internet light was flashing like crazy and my wireless card was not even in my notebook so that tells me that someone close was pulling signal off my router but i cant.
Can someone please explain this to me i want to get another router wireless - G this time but if there is something that can be done to get this one working like it should that would really help.
The Notebook has been checked out and config and that works well when i hook the either net plug in from the modem the router was config as well but i just can't get a connected to the router when i use the wireless card.

Yes press and hold the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release. Wait 10 seconds and power cycle the router. Now connect to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'. Now try.
