Linksys WRT100 timing out after set up

I'm trying to replace a dying Belkin router with a new Linksys WRT100. I am trying to connect to a comcast modem.
I have made it through the set up CD and it said everything was successful and I was connected to the Internet. When I tried to connect to the Internet my connections would time out. I have tried wired and wireless, and both with and without my zone alarm firewall. and yet everything times out on 2 different computers (both winXP). I'm not sure if there is a setting I need to change, If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

OK still no luck, my modem has a reset button so I tried power cycling both ways, once by unplugging it for 5 minutes and once by resetting it via the button and still no luck.
My settings were as you listed above I was also able to go to the status page reject and renew the IP Not sure if this tells you anything but I was running out of options. I did go buy a linksys wired router to hold me over, which set up right out of the box for me. This will hold till I can get the other one working.
Does anyone have any ideas? Or is this router DOA.
Let me know if you need any more info.
Recap
I can plug comcast modem into either 2 computer and it works
I can plug modem into old Belkin router and it works but I get DCed every once in while (I'm blaming the router)
I have now using a Linksys BEFSR41 Router and connected on the first try with Set up CD
When I connect to the Linksys WRT100 I get the message from the CD saying everything was successful and you are now connected to the internet. When I go to the any webpage firefox gives me a Network timeout message,IE gives me a standered no connection message.

How to hook up a Linksys WRT54G to Motorola NVG589. PLEASE HELP!

Hello, I have recently switched over to AT&T Uverse and I am loving it. One thing I miss is having extra ethernet ports to plug in my desktop computer and my Xbox 360. When the Uverse technician came in, he installed a Motorola NVG589 modem that also has a built in wireless router. He also installed a VAP2500 as a receiver for 2 wireless TV boxes. The VAP2500 plugs into the back of the Motorola NVG589. 3 other TV boxes are plugged into the back as well. My dilemma is the fact that all of the ports are being taken up. I need at least 2 more ethernet ports free so I can hook up my Xbox 360 (my model doesn't have built in wifi) and my desktop computer as well. I told the technician this when he installed the system and he told me to go on ebay and buy 2 cheap splitters and split 2 TV boxes that are coming into the NVG589. I did so. It didn't work out. I called up AT&T and the guy over the phone said that was the worst thing I could've done. He told be I should buy an ethernet switch. I had my Linksys WRT54G (Version 6) router laying around at the time and realized that it had a built in ethernet switch. I want to get this to also function as another Wifi hotspot because I have an old PowerMac G4 downstairs that won't connect to the NVG589 for some reason (it says connection timeout). I am guessing that the wifi card in the system may be too old to connect to the modern NVG589. So, I need the 2 extra ethernet ports and another Wifi hotspot from this setup. I have tried multiple things to get this to work. The closest way I could get it to work was when I plugged an ethernet cable from the LAN port on the WRT54G to port on the back of the NVG589. I then plugged the TV box ethernet cable I had to disconnect into the second LAN port on the WRT54G as well as plugging my Xbox 360 into the 3rd LAN port and my computer into the 4th LAN port. This worked great for the TV box and the Xbox 360. However, the computer's ethernet connection ran very slow and the WIfi from the WRT54G was very slow as well. The Wifi from the NVG589 was slow too. I unhooked that setup and put it back to what it was beforehand. Is there anyone that knows of a flawless way of setting this up? Any articles someone can link me to? I've heard of bridging the NVG589...would that help me? How exactly would I do that? Please HELP. I have attached pics. On the back of the NVG589 - green ethernet is the DSL cable, both white ethernet cables along with the black one are TV boxes and the yellow ethernet cable is the VAP 2500. Thanks!

Ya, the install tech must have been sleeping or texting or something during training.... or it's possible he misunderstood you and thought your were talking about needing extra phone ports, which could be accomplished with simple splitters. You were almost where you needed to be with your setup, you just missed some steps. Connect your wired computer only to one of the Linksys' LAN port. With the Linksys powered up press and hold the reset button for 15 seconds (will need toothpick or unfolded paperclip). This will perform a "factory" reset. When the Linksys is fully rebooted, log in to the Linksys. Do not configure the "Internet Connection Type" on the Linksys. Navigate to the "Wireless" section on the Linksys and configure the wireless. Do not use the same SSID (wireless network name) that the NVG589 uses. Save changes. Navigate to the "LAN" configuration on the Linksys and set the routers address to 192.168.1.1 and disable the DHCP Server. Save changes. This step will kick you out of the router. Power down your computer and the Linksys, run an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the NVG589 to a LAN port on the Linksys, then power up the Linksys, and when it's fully rebooted, power up your computer. You should be good to go at this point. You will want to individually configure your wireless devices to use either the wireless network from the NVG or the wireless network from the Linksys. Otherwise they make keep jumping back and forth between the two, which will degrade performance for that device. You may still notice a slight to moderate performance drop for the wireless on both the NVG and the Linksys because they will be competing for the same wireless airspace along with the VAP2500.
How can you be in two places at once, when your not anywhere at all?

Help setting up my Linksys E2000 to play a game

I just recently bought a Linksys E2000 router. Works great while searching the internet and such.. But I get huge lag spikes while playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I know its not my computer. When I take it to work and hook up to my jobs wireless connection I can play lag free. Also if I disconnect the router and hook up directly to my cable modem I can play lag free. SO I am fairly certain that the problem lies in my router settings.. Can any of you help me out? I don't have the slightest idea how to set up a router. I know the game says my Nat needs to be completely open while playing the game and that I should forward certain ports. I have no clue how to do either of that.. I will copy and paste some instructions from the forums for the game for you all to see. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

You don't really have to set up a static IP for your computer. All you got to do is reserve that IP in DHCP reservation on your router. Get the MAC address of your computer, put that in the DHCP reservation located on the setup page under Basic Settings. Choose the IP you want, within the scope of DHCP. Make sure to save it. So everytime you connect to the router, it will assign that IP to your computer.

Please help... Linksys router and Imac help

I just switched to Mac, but I might be returning the Imac and getting a Dell or something because it's getting a little ridiculous.
My IP address on my Linksys router is not being recognized by the airport in my new Imac. It took FOREVER for me to get this to work and now it has crapped out 2 times in the last 4 days. I am about to take this new Mac back to the store and go back to a Dell.
Here is a basic description of what is happening:
When I do a diagnostic test I click on Airport and it is saying that the airport signal is fine (green dots), but it doesn't find the IP address. I select my network name that the Airport is picking up and still nothing. I can even get online by selecting a different wi-fi signal from someone that lives close to me too. It's obviously something with my Linksys router that does not work well with my Mac.
Also, even when my Mac doesn't get online, my Ps3 and 360 both still do so I know it is the computer/router that is the problem.
I try unplugging the router, modem, restarting...etc. but it just seems so wierd that it goes off like that.... It's also very annoying, because then I have to hear from my wife about that we spent $1500 on a computer that won't get online some of the time, when I can still get online on my PS3 and 360.
By the way, when I am not connected to the internet Safari will NOT let me put in the 192.168.1.1 in the address bar to get to my router settings. But I did check them from my PS3 and the "clone my MAC" thing is still enabled.
Apple's software update tells me there's no new software available for my machine, which leaves me with no idea what's causing this or how to fix it.
Any advice, solutions, or tips are greatly appreciated.
Can anyone please help me??? If this is going to be a continuous problem, I am taking the computer back and getting a new Dell or something since we mostly use the computer for the internet functions.
Anybody please help???

Good morning
Hi Kathy, my name is Johnnatan and I am part of the Small business Support community.
If you have an old firmware it would be a good idea to go out to Cisco.com and see if there is any firmware updates. I have looked on the site for you and I see the latest firmware is:2.0.2.1
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282414016&softwareid=282487380&release=2.0.1.3&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=all
You can also try to reset your device to its factory settings, to reset your router please take a object that has a point and hold the reset button in on the back for "atleast" 30 seconds until the lights on the front to start flashing.
About Mac address, you can map a Static IP with a specific mac address, You can folllow these steps in order to configure it.

Busted Screen, Need Help Hooking Up Monitor

The screen on my Powerbook is totally busted so I tried hooking up a monitor to it, but it seems to not be working correctly. All I see is my desktop picture, and no icons (like the HD or folders on my desktop), dock, or even the menu bar are not showing up. At first, I thought it was a ratio issue since the monitor is more square than the laptop screen, and therefore cutting the edges out where the menu bar, etc. would lie, but I'm pretty sure that's not the issue. I'm guessing I have to go into my system prefs and set the computer up to work with the monitor, but the problem is since the screen's totally shot, I can't even go in and do that. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, hobageeba. What is the maximum resolution offered by your external monitor (consult its manual or the manufacturer's online specs for it)?
If the external monitor's maximum resolution (1024 x 768 or 1600 x 1200, for example) is as large as or larger than the maximum resolution of your Powerbook's display, you may be able to get a normal desktop — including the menu bar, desktop icons, etc. — displayed on the external monitor by pressing the F7 key on the Powerbook's keyboard. That should toggle the external display from Extended Desktop mode into Display Mirroring mode, in which the same video signal is sent to both displays, allowing you to use the external as the main display. (Note: under some circumstances, toggling F7 has no effect — and I don't know what circumstances, or why not. If it doesn't seem to do anything, it probably hasn't done anything, and it won't be helpful to you.)
Typically, if the external monitor's resolution is higher than the built-in display's, a mirrored video image will be displayed in the center of it surrounded by black, instead of filling the monitor. That wastes screen real estate, but at least you know you're seeing the whole desktop, and if your monitor is good, the image will be as sharp as it was on the built-in display when it worked.
If the external monitor has a lower maximum resolution than the built-in screen, the results of switching to Mirrored mode are less predictable. You may see only the center of the desktop, with the menu bar, hard drive icon, and other icons that were at the edges of the desktop "displayed" outside the edges of the external monitor. In that case it may be impossible to tell the difference between Mirrored and Extended Desktop modes, depending on what your desktop background image is. I don't know of a way to overcome that.
Whatever you find out about the monitor's resolution, give the F7 toggle a try and see what happens.

Help hooking up new-Blu Ray player to old receiver

Hi,
I just bought a Blu-Ray player and was hoping to just pull the cables out of my old Proscan DVD player (which is hooked up properly to my receiver) and plug them into the new player.
However, the new player has space for two audio-out cables and one video-out cable (Y). The old player has the same two audio-out cables but has three video-out cables (Pb, Pr, and Y).
I tried just hooking the Y into the new player and leaving the other two cables unplugged, but that leaves me with a fuzzy image on screen.
Do I need some sort of converter, or should I have bought a Blu-Ray player with the same cable setup? The one I bought is a Samsung BD-D5700. None of my components are HDMI. My Denon receiver has the same 3 video-out plugs as the old DVD player.
I'd appreciate any help you can offer!
Sue

Need help hooking up my daughters computer on my wireless router.

I am totally new to the wireless world. I just bought a lynksys Wireless-G WRT54G wireless router. I hooked my new Dell XPS400 via the wired connection and my son's Dell inspiron notebook up via wireless. My daughter just got back from Hong Kong with a Toshiba computer and it sees my wireless network but it is asking for different information than my son's computer did. All I had to do with his was give the Key code and reboot the computer and he was able to get right on. Her computer is asking for the "Network Name (SSID)", "Network Authentication" and "Data Encryption", none of which am I sure what it wants. The only block calling for a key # is grayed out.
Is there anyone who might can give me some guidance on this?
Thanks

Family sharing is only iOS 8 (and later)
I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
More details of how:
http://ipadhelp.com/ipad-help-tips-tricks/how-to-get-free-apps-from-the-app-stor e-without-a-credit-card/
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Use your Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

I need the most cost effective way to record data off of these loggers. Im supposesd to begin a project on friday. Dasylab? Anything. If I can just collect the numbers in a folder I can process.
Please help.

Need help hooking up an old laser printer to my wireless router

I have an old HP Laserjet4 Plus that has been a workhorse. I've had it for years and it still works great. Previously I was using it as my network printer, plugged into a WRTP54G Linksys Vonage router. That setup worked fine, but over time the router began to drop my connection over and over. I decided to buy a new router and leave the old one to only use as a Vonage device.
I bought a WRT54GL and got it going yesterday (with the help of Linksys tech support). It is now my front router and the old Vonage router is plugged into it just so my telephone service can work. Now my telephone works and my wireless connection works, but I am unable to make my network printer work.
I know that my laptop has the proper driver as the printer was working fine through the old router. What do I need to do to get my printer working again?
Also, I am not very technically savvy so please spell out any steps I need to take for a novice. Thanks so much for your consideration.

yuppers you can.
but first write down that your rounter is now 192.168.15.1 not 192.168.1.1
after you made the last change did you have to restart your pc?
you will need to print out a status page like you did on the other. what is the current ip address it has? is it in the 192.168.15.xx range? if it is then what is it? as long as its .3 or higher but not .100 - 49 then skip the next step. keep in mind we want the printer to be static ip.
ok anyways, on your new printer you will need to set it to a static ip of 192.168.15.3 with a gateway of 192.168.15.1 and sub as 255.255.255.0 just like your other printer except the ip address off by one.
and in your pc right click on the printer > properties > ports > and either add 192.168.15.3 or modify the existing ip <<<really all we are doing is matching the ips so if printer is 192.168.15.35 make it that. make sure the printer is selected to 192.168.15.3 press save.
enjoy and i hope your hair grows back out =)

Need help to set wireless Linksys Router WRT150N to work with Nettalk Duo

I have Linksys Router WRT150N , connect to it Nettalk Duo but there is no ring tone, the orange light is flashing trying to connect, then i have the green light blinking then go Red.
I thied to call Nettalk but no answer to their phone, chat with customer support at last they said someone from technical support will call back, but that not happen since two weeks.
I make several tickets to them but no reply, service is very bad.
Please any help to configer inside the router to recognise Nettalk, i have cable internet they said there is no blockage from there side.

Hey sam63. Based from what I've read, RED lights means the device has failed to connect to the network. I'd suggest that you perform a powercycle. Unplug the power of the NetTalk Duo and the router for 30 seconds. Once done, power on the NetTalk first then, the router. Also, make sure that it is properly connected to the router's Ethernet port and the router is working online. You may try using another Ethernet cord or plug it into another Ethernet port.
If that won't work still, I found a link that might help you. Here: http://www.nettalk.com/support/customer-support/

hello
I need help securing my linksys wireless router with speed boosters. In august me and some friends took over this rented house, and with the house we got their old internett system, we use a linksys router, This nett is open for everyone, but we want to secure it for other users. We didnt get the manual and i've tried the guide on your site but it says it cant be changed. The old owners didnt either know what to do. Is there some help i can get with this? Is there some buttom i can push to reset it and then make it possible?

Connect your computer using wire to router. Open setup page of router by typing http://192.168.1.1 in browser's address bar, and typing password as "admin" and no user name, if admin doesn't work reset router and do above step again. Go to wireless tab, here change wireless network name from linksys to any other name. Save the settings. Go to wireless security sub-tab here change security mode to WPA personal etc, and enter you secret key in passphrase/shared key, Save the settings.This secret key will be security key of your wireless network.
