Help unable to host/join games on network
I am trying to play diablo 2 with my wife and she is unable to conect to my computer i have set my comp to dmz and still nothing forworded all ports needed for diablo 2 to run i have my comp set to auto DHCP i have alwasys had problems with my hardwired comp conecting to the internet after swithching to static ip total i have 3 comps non can connect to any of the other and i've tried it all
Whats the Model number of your Router? Who is your ISP ?
Are you trying to play the same in the same network. If you have enable the DMZ on your Router for your Computer, Make sure your assign a Static IP to your Computer. If you set your computer to work with DHCP, then your computer IP will keeps on changing. So the best things is to assign a Static IP to your computer..
To assign a Static IP to your Computer follow the steps : Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1- Preferred DNS 192.168.1.1, Alternate DNS - 4.2.2.2 >>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window.
For your Wife's computer you need to assign a Static IP that is : 192.168.1.20 , Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1- Preferred DNS 192.168.1.1, Alternate DNS - 4.2.2.2 >>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window. And you need to open the Ports on your router for your wife's computer..
Once you are done with all the settings on your router and on your computer, I think you both the computers should be able to connect to each other..

E90-610015-06 (firmware link please) + (unable to host games)
Need firmware for this terrible modem. It's got horrible features on it.
I find I am also unable to host a game as well. I have the modem, and a router, and then my computer. I've disabled all of the features that I can think of on the thing, but still cant host a game.
Auto update fails using the device, as well as auto check, as well as the manufacturers website also fails to find it. Verizon website does not have the model listed.
Model Number E90-610015-06 Serial Number 06B40516151x MAC Address 00:0f:db:da:8d:xx Software Version VER:04.00.00.02 Software Model NAT Combo Description WireSpeed Dual Connect Boot Loader VER:04.00.00.02 Configuration 096-900130-01BOk.
Is this the while and blue firmware or the red and black firmware?
If you do not know what I mean, look at the following FAQ.
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/13600
I would not advise that you follow that FAQ unless you have another router.

My wife's i-pad 3 was just downloaded with the latest iOS6 and she's now unable to join our wifi network at home. Can anyone help?
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

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My other Imacs and my wife's Ipad 3 have no problem with conneccting. My Ipad keeps coming up with unable to join the network. Nothing has changed with passwords--it just refuses to join my secure network. A couple minutes ago, it connected for 10 seconds, then dropped the connection. Is there a way to reconfigure the Ipad to fix this major problem, as we dropped our carrier (saved a bunch of money) and just went wifi.
Thanks so much for any help with resolving my connection problem.

Unable to join certain wifi networks
I have a 64GB 5S on iOS 8.1 and over the past several months I've noticed that I can't join some wifi networks. I have no problem with the type that prompt for a password, but if there's a browser window opened and I have to agree to terms (usually seen on store networks like Publix, Lowe's, etc.) the page just won't load. So I'm now completely unable to join these networks. I usually get an error message eventually about the request timing out. I don't have issues with any other unauthenticated or simple password-protected networks.
I've looked and I haven't seen anyone report quite this issue. I noticed it before the iOS 8 updates, so I don't think that's the culprit. I've tried turning the wifi off and on with no avail. I really hoping not to have to do a restore or anything like that on the off chance it will fix the issue, but at this point I'm open to suggestions.I'm guessing these retail establishments require a login page to access their Wi-Fi? For ones that require a login, if it does not open automatically, opening a new tab in Safari has always created the prompt for me. You can try some troubleshooting, but it appears this has been going on for some time. You can try going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network settings and see if that helps. If not, then you can try a restore, or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store to have the hardware checked.

The Game Center is "unable to load data due to network connectivity issues or errors".
The Game Center is "unable to load data due to network connectivity issues or errors".
My internet is fine: all other apps that do not rely on the Game Center work, as does my browser and other online functions; additionally, a friend's iPhone connects to his Game Center perfectly while he is sitting next to me.
Closing the Game Center app and then reopening it is ineffective. Opening the options for the Game Center in the settings, logging out of my Apple ID, then logging back in, and then reopening the Game Center is ineffective. Opening the options for the Game Center in the settings, logging out of my Apple ID, then reopening the Game Center app and logging back in from there is ineffective.
This issue has gone on for more than a month, and so the phone has gone through all variations of "turn it off then back on again, refresh the system, etc etc" that are the basic first suggestions for trouble shooting.
One game app, which required a Game Center profile to launch, stopped working entirely, and would return a message saying something like "connect to the Game Center". I eventually deleted it to free up space. Other games which can be linked to the Game Center to connect with friends simply fail to link, returning "Game Center unavailable". This is the aspect that is currently bothering me the most: I cannot play games with friends unless the app can also link to Facebook and connect to friends from there.
When I open the Game Center, I see the following screen. The bubbles float gently, and it seems as if I had the ability to update my "status". However doing so results in a message that has vanished once the app is reopened.
Upon tapping Games, either the bubble from the main screen or the option on the ribbon at the bottom, the following screen appears. Clicking on Challenges shows a message that achievements must be viewed to issue a challenge. Clicking achievements results in a message that games must be connected (and from my friend's phone I know I have several apps that should appear).
Upon tapping friends, it does show me a list of suggested friends pulled from Facebook, but attempting to send a friend request results in the following screen. After accepting the error box, the "send" button for the request is grayed out and unavailable regardless of adding or deleting friends and/or an accompanying message.
In short, the Game Center is completely unresponsive for no discernible reason, and this problem began with no warning and is now long term. Though my iPhone is older (a 4s), my friend's is even older (a regular 4) and works fine.I am having the very same problem on my iPad running ios 7. All is fine on my iPhone it opens no problem - this is running on ios 8. I wish they would fix it.

I am trying to buy help on my candy crush game but I keep getting this pop-up? Unable to Purchase. This item for an app that was purchased by a different Apple ID. To buy this item with this Apple ID, you must first purchase the app. My daughter set up this game on my Iphone. I am on level 65 and don't wont to start over if I don't have to.
Any suggestions?If it was indeed purchased with a different apple ID then there is no work around for what you want! You can try signing in with your daughter's apple ID and password and update the app and purchase whatever you want then log back in with your apple ID. This may work!

I'm suddenly unable to join my Airport network with my PowerBook G4. I am able to access my network with all of my other devices. How can I once again establish access using my PowerBook G4?
Bruce777 solved this for me, thank you Bruce! My printer now works perfectly on my new wifi network!
Bruce's instructions, for anyone else having the same issue:
- delete any previously set up printers
- scrub old hp software and update software to get the hp 2.8 drivers
- remove the usb cable from the printer if you have one connected
- reset the printer network to hpsetup (hold down the power button and press network button 2x and then cancel 3x, release power button.)
- print out the wireless network test report (hold down the network button and press the update button 2x). verify the network name / ssid is hsetup
- got to sys prefs > network and change the mac wireless network to hpsetup
- go to the sys pref > print scan
- add the HP 8000 printer
- click on the options and supplies button and click on the Show Printer Webpage
- click on the networking tab > wireless in the left pane > start network wizard and change the network from hpsetup to your network
- finish (this page may freeze up. close the browser)
- go back to the sys prefs and change the wireless network back to your networt
- go to the printer and print out the wireless network test report (press network button and update button 2x). Check that the SSID is your network
- go to sys prefs > print scan > select your printer > options & supplies > show printer webpage > network info (check ssid and compare to wireless network test report)
- try printing something to your printer. It might take a little time the first print. -

If you have reset the router to its factory defaults and nothing can connect through it, then it's not working.
