Help setting up WRT54GS

Ok here goes, I have a newer Dell Laptop with a built in wireless card connected through a usb port and a Kensington docking station with my printers and scanners connected to it. Time Warner came out yesterday to install roadrunner yesterday and I purchased the WRT54GS. What I want to be able to do is connect to the internet either through the wired connection of my laptop or wirelessly around the house.
Now, I ran the set up cd and got to the point where the set up checks the internet connection and it cant find it. If I unplug the router and reconnect the cable modem back to the docking station the internet works fine. The lights on the router are on for the wifi and the wired router and internet. When I look at my network connections the USB connection says it is connected. When I try to access the internet by wireless it says it is there and the signal strength is maxed but says "aquiring network".
Now I did install the security features offer by Time Warner. Could the be the problem?
I don't think the cd is loading everything also because it can't find the internet connection through the router.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!! Thank you in advance.

hi....first off , keep the CD somewhere safe.......ensure that the modem is connected to the internet ports of the linksys and the PC to one of the normal ports.....
turn off the modem......reset the router for 1 minue and then turn it off as well.......shut down your PC......
now turn on the modem first and wait for 1 minute for it to initialize.......turn on the router and then the PC.....ckeck if u are able to go online..... if no....
on the PC bring up the web browser and key in http://192.168.1.1 "admin" is the default password......under the setyp page , look for an option called "MAC address clone" ....click on that....enable it and hit "clone" or "clone your PC's MAC" ( when u do this ensure that your main PC is connected to the router).,....save settings....
go to the "status" page and click on DHCP release and then on DHCP renew......once done , check if u are able to go online.....
As far as your wireless is concerned....the "acquiring network address" is a known error....for this u will need to download a fix from microsoft..... kb884020 ....download this fix and install on the wireless PC.

Need help setting up WRT54G as wireless bridge/repeater

I currently use a WRT54GS as a wireless router. It is located downstairs and can't be moved. I have a few devices upstairs that can't connect to the router because of a weak signal. I can not run a cable upstairs and have a second WRT54G router that I'd like to use as a wireless access point. Can I configure it to work as a wireless bridge or repeater? If so, will the 4 LAN ports work in addition to the wireless ones?

No. You cannot connect the two routers wirelessly, at least not with Linksys firmware. Perhaps there is third party firmware that will convert the WRT54G to a wireless bridge, but this will void your Linksys warranty.
Another option is to add high gain antennas, such as the Linksys HGA7T, to your WRT54GS. Also, try to align the router and wireless adapter antennas so that they are parallel to each other, but perpendicular to the line between them - this should maximize your signal.

Help with the WRT54g

Hi, I have been having trouble with my internet connection ever since I purchased a PC running Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit). I have a total of 3 PCs an Xbox 360 (all wired) and a Wii on the wireless. I have never had any problem with the internet connection until I connect the PC running Vista. If I unplug the computer running Vista the other connections run great. The interenet will run for a long time in some instances but will at other times disconnect every few minutes. I have tried searching google for solutions, called HP support and Linksys support and no one has been able to help. The Wrt54g v.8 is brand new, just bought it about 3 weeks ago after the last one died. I have made sure that all firmware is up to date. If anyone has any advice that could fix this annoying problem I would appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

Hello everyone,
I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it.
They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook.
Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
I then setup the second btinternet email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
Please help
Thanks in advance
PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

Help setting up my new IPod Touch on iTunes on windows 7 64bit

Hello there,
I need help setting up my new IPod Touch to my Itunes 10 application on a PC running windows 7 64bit. I have watched the tutorial on how to do it but what the tutorial says it is supposed to do is not what is happenning for me:
1. In the tutorial it tells you to connect your ipod to your computer, then, (if it is for the first time) when the ipod appears and is selected, a window will come up allowing you to name your ipod, and begin selecting the options you wish to use.
I did as instructed but quickly came against some technical issues.
My issues:
1-1: When I selected the new iPod Touch for the dirst time I got an error message.
A) This was quickly fixed once I calld up apple support on the phone (turns out an IE browser setting was blocking it.)
1-2: With that fixed I selected my iPod Touch again but instead of the window indicated by the tutorial, I instead got an iPod registration form window.
1-3: I filled out the form and pressed the submit button (thinking everything was fine), then a new window came up that looks like this:
Free Find My iPhone

I had to call Verizon and spend an hour on the phone, my Versalink is about 3 years old and I never updated it. There is a software update which makes it a little more mac friendly. Cables still run through it on the Ethernet port. I was able to turn the wireless feature off on the Versalink (to stop my neighbors and kids from bypassing the APE and just factory reset the APE and set it up with a shared IP adrs instead of bridging it. Also made sure I turned off the guest network on the APE. Once it was set up I clicked on Airport in the Airport Utility then wireless Clinets, jotted down the client I wanted to restrict access to (Kid's Laptop) then go back to Airport screen, last option on right Access then MAC Adrs Access Control change to "Timed Access", then click the + on the bottom of the window, type the MAC adrs you want to restrict and set time limits, when complete click done..... Only took me a week and a half to figure it out...... Good luck, if that doesn't help let me know, but I'm no expert...
thanks!!
i think i have the most recent 327w update, because it now shows my modem screen in a red color and it is broken into 3 sections across the screen.
as far as the AEBS is concerned, you did not use it in bridge mode at all?
i thought you had to connect 1 cable from it to the 327w? I have about 5 items i will be connecting, so i will probably run any wired from the AESB, but not sure yet?
thanks, and yaeh last time my network took me a bit of time as well!!
what kind of encryption are you running?
thanks

Teresa,
I think the best way for someone to volunteer to help you would be for them to send you a Private Message (PM) here on the forums. You should see a small envelope in the upper right corner of the screen, when it changes color you will know you have a PM to view.
I would be happy to help, but since I am in North Texas I don't think that is a viable option Sorry....

Need help setting up and configuring rsync

Hello
I need help setting up, or rather configuring rsync to sync data between my brand new iMac and my Macbook Air.
Here is what I would like to:
- I want all of the files on both machines to be an exact mirror or copy of each other. Basically I have an iMac for at home, and then a Macbook Air for the road.
- The main folder on both Macs is called 'Sara' and I want the contents (mainly the 'movies' folder, 'music' folder, 'documents' folder and 'pictures' folder) to immediately sync up with each other when both of them are on my home network.
- this means if I'm working on a file at home on my Macbook, it will immediately write to the same directory on my iMac and vice versa (if I'm working on file(s) on my iMac, it will immediately save the contents to my Macbook). This way, if I'm working on last minute project my iMac, and then have to head out the door to the airport, the file is immediately saved to my Macbook (no usb for USB transfer).
- hopefully this makes sense??
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks

It's a lofty but unrealistic goal. Rsync does not run automatically. There is no realistic method of instantaneously synching two computers over the internet or even on a LAN.
I would suggest you might try using Synk Pro which, in theory, can keep two devices in sync when they are both on the same network (and both have shared and mounted drives.)
If you must do this with rsync then I suggest a Google search for rsync tutorials.

I need help setting up an apple id for my son's phone. It seems his email address has been taken and/or we cant get the password.

Two different things
If you forgot the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If the email ID you want to use is in use by someone else - then you may need a new one
The iCloud ID's are usually unique and may be of help if you set one up

Need help Setting up Multiple Static Ip , 1 for each port of the fios router

Need help Setting up multiple Static Ip on my fios router
I have been trying to figure out how to set up multiple ip in my fios router.
However I kind of managed how to set up multiple static ip However the way I want it is for each port of my router to have an external ip signed to it. ( like 4 different modem in 1 )
Verizon gave me 5 static ip but they can not help me how to set it up.
Have anyone here done more then one static ip on different ports? I assume that the process will be the after the second static ip.

You want to set up Static Nat. You will not assign the IP to a port, but rather to a local machine. Figure out what machines you want your IP's to go to. Under the firewall section you will see static nat. Pick the machine you want and enter one of the IP's you were assigned.
