Home network connection Problem.

Help...my note-book ceased automatically connecting to my home network , i've ticked remember this network etc. but obviously i have to manually reconnect each time i open my n/b, my only solution is to give it a glass of wine like my old windows laptop , but it's a Mac and if some-one could that would be awesome and i could drink the wine instead, sincere thanks Matt.

With WPA connections there could be many things effecting this from working on the iPhone. The easiest way to go about it is try changing the password to something that is 8 characters long and see if that will make a difference. It could be a issue that the password is not long enough or too long.
Another thing that you can try is connect with 128bit WEP and see if it gives you the same issue?

  • HOME LAN CONNECTION PROBLEM

    HOME LAN CONNECTION PROBLEM
    I set up a 2 unit home net with a Linksys WRT54G Router, One PC hardwired to Port 1 and a Notebook conected via the wireless port. Both PC are Pentium and WXPPRO.
    When I try to browse the local workgroup ("MICASA") I get the following error message: "You have no access to "WorkGroup". You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The server list for this workgroup is not accessible at this moment."
    Wireless has MAC filter enabled and security disabled
    I restricted DHCP adresses to only 2 => 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101
    Win XP Pro Firewall is disabled in both PC
    I worked as ADMIN with proper password in both boxes. Full file security enabled.
    Shared both C disks with proper local and share permits.
    In registry both PCs have: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Lsa/"restrictanonimous"=0
    I could see both PCs in "my network places" for a couple of days, with full and proper file sharing, and then both pc's dissapeared. Both PC's access internet properly.
    The obnoxious message listed at the beginning began appearing when I click "Workgroup" in "my network places". I tried everything, including unsetting and re-setting file sharing for C disks. Nothing happens.
    The W2K Resource Kit Browser Monitor reports no brouser on the LAN.
    I can ping one adress from the other and I can log onto the other box shares by typing the name in Windows Explorer (\\Pentium or \\PCdeLidia)
    Any clue will be welcome

    Thank you, timelord.
    I checked the Node setting (ipconfig /all) and it is "broadcast".
    So, I decided to start all over again.
    1) I un-shared all shares in both computers (The notebook and the desktop).
    2) I reset the linksys router and used the Linksys setup wizard to reconfigure it from 0 (cero) - dropped (disabled)  ALL security - Left only admin setup password - Changed the workgroup SSID from "MyHome" To "Home" - just to be sure.
    3) Run network setup wizard in desktop (WXP Pro). Sharing Printers and files enabled.
    4) Stopped and Disabled the WXP firewall in the Desktop (it was disabled, but the network wizard enables it and leaves it running)
    5) Rebooted the Desktop
    6) At this point, I finally could browse the local lan and see my desktop listed
      My Network Places / All the Net / Microsoft Windows Network / "Home" / "Pentium" (my desktop)
    7) Went over to the notebook and re-checked all file-sharing was off, then I erased the WI-FI profile in it (uses the Intel wizard), changed the workgroup name from "My Home" to "Home", Rebooted it and connected it to the Wi-Fi "Home" net that was detected. ALL security disabled, including WXP Firewall.
    8) Now, the whole net is visible from both PC's
      My Network Places / All the Net / Microsoft Windows Network / "Home" / "Pentium" (my desktop)
      My Network Places / All the Net / Microsoft Windows Network / "Home" / "PCdeLidia" (my wife's  notebook)
    9) I enabled a couple of shares in both machines and I could browse them and connect to them
    10) Finally, all goes to hell: I shut-off both PCs and the LinkSys router. Then I powered the linksys, and then the Desktop. The notebook still OFF. And Voilá, same awful post:
    "You have no access to "WorkGroup". You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The server list for this workgroup is not accessible at this moment."
    I'm not even able to see myself.
    One tip: I used the browser monitor from W2K. Before, I was able to see 3 (three) lines listed, no browser. Unfortunately, i did not write it down. Now I can see only the following 2 (two) lines:
    MiCasa \Device\NetBT_TCPIP_ {€ unknown  (Not an Euro sign, something like that)
    MiCasa \Device\NwlnkNb         unknown
    Now I have to quit, no more time, I'll continue later and keep you posted
    Thank you again

    My daughter has just bought me an iPad 2 from Dubai and set it all up for me but unfortunately the iMessage function doesn't seem to work. We keep getting messages,when trying to activate it, that there is a network connection problem - help!

    Thank you both for your responses but my daughter was reassured by the salesman in the iStyle store (official Apple store in the UAE) that iMessages would work but conceded that FaceTime wouldn't. My iTunes account is registered in the uk and my daughter's iPhone has iMessages even though she bought it (and uses it) in Dubai. Can anyone else throw any light on this?

  • Why does the iPhone lose home network connection?

    My new iPhone 5 keeps losing my home network connection. Any advice? I've tried resetting network settings, turning the phone off and on again and turning the router off and on again. Thanks.

    I'm looking into that possibility.......have a cordless phone in the office, a PC, cell phones, etc. Will clear them out and recheck. The maddening thing is that the iBook is totally bulletproof even in that environment. Why would the iMac be having these issues, but not the iBook? Is Airport Extreme more robust, or that much better than Airport?
    Even now, the iMac shows no network - yet I'm writing this on the iBook right next to it, and it's had no network interruption whatsoever.
    Do you have any knowledge of those "error" notations from the syslog? Could they be pointing to anything else?
    Thanks much.....

  • MHP to home network connectivity

    Hello,
    I have a case where I want to connect from an MHP box to the home network. Say I want to connect to my home PC to transfer some data from the box. Is my only option going through the return channel and the providers servers, create a socket to my home PC and transfer through there? Seems like a bit of a long way to go if they are actually sitting next to each other.
    Also, are there any good docs available on the limitations of the MHP as opposed to the full Java SDK on a PC? I have read plenty of docs but am yet to see an explicit coverage on this topic. Any help and references would be great.
    thanks,

    The SDK-MHP differences are listed in the MHP spec it seems. Its just 1080+ pages so a bit much but buried in there. Thats where I found the differences. I guess you are more interested on the MHP-home network connectivity though.
    As for accessing the home network I haven't really found anything clearly stated on that. I will need to do some testing on that myself I guess and make do with using the sockets like the examples do until I find clear answers from somewhere. I'm not sure how to test it though since using the dev kit is not a good example for me as it is all located in the same room. That is even the return channel goes to the same room so it might seem to work even if it doesnt if that makes sence. Someone did tell me it should be easy but I think they regarded it as the same as connecting from any networked device and didn't really have exact knowledge on it. So remains to be seen. Let me know if you find something :).

  • New logic board and network connection problems

    My late 2007 MBP just had a new logic board installed. I have home and work wireless networks that are configured to connect automatically. This always worked flawlessly in the past. My MBP would find the network, connect and all was well. Since I've had the new logic board I'm having issues. The wireless network will be detected but an IP address is not assigned so I can't get on the network or internet. Both my home and work networks were set to assign a specific IP address to my computer. The MAC address detected by the router is correct, at least according to System Preferences.
    The only way I can connect is to disable the firewall (Allow all incoming connections). When I do this I connect immediately to the network and everything works as normal. I can even turn the firewall back on and everything will be fine, that is until I leave work and turn the computer on at home. Then I have to go through this again. And then again when I go to work in the morning. I've tried deleting my router profile and resetting from scratch, deleting the network profiles in System Preferences and re-detecting. I don't know what else to try. It's an annoying problem.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Kevin

    I think I have it fixed. One of the solutions I read about had to do with the 10.5.7 upgrade. I have always installed the smaller upgrades, not the larger "combo" upgrades. One tip suggested installing the full combo upgrade because, among other things, it re-creates two specific files that control how the computer interacts with the network. I installed the combo upgrade last Friday and connected without difficulty to the network at my office this morning. If I connect just as easily when I get home tonight I will consider the problem solved.
    Cheers!

  • Get File/Put File Kills Home Network Connection

    Recently encountered a problem with Dreamweaver CS5 where when I try and put or get multiple files to my server, I lose internet connection. I don't just mean wireless connection, but my entire home network fails. I have to reset my router to regain connection only to have it happen again. I have tried hardwiring the laptop to the router, same thing. I have tried hardwiring the laptop to the cable modem, same thing. When the network fails, my PC that is hardwired to the router also loses connection. I am currently using the newest generation 17" MacBook Pro, 2.66GHz, 8 GB, with Mac OS X 10.6.4, running Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS5. My home network setup includes a Comcast cable modem, hardwired to a Linksys router that provides my wireless network as well as a hardwired connection to my PC. I can connect to my server fine and upload and download multiple files with other FTP programs such as Filezilla, but whenever I use Dreamweaver it kills my internet connection every time. I have tried to find other information on this and have only come across a few others who are experiencing this issue and can not find a solution. Please see the following links:
    Seems it was a CS4 problem too: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2448960#2448960
    Another person thinking it was a Windows issue: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/88a38e07-f050-4800-a1f7 -7b0570f88eaa
    Between these threads and my problem I have narrowed it down to a Dreamweaver issue but can not find any solutions besides using another FTP program which greatly hinders my workflow. Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    the problem for me was my network cards driver.  I dont know how mac handles drivers but when i changed back to the previous version
    of the driver it started working fine.  Before that i had to restart my network when i tried to put a big file with DW.

  • Airport Express: Snow Leopard 10.6.3 / Vista Home Premium / connect problem

    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.3 running on my Mac Pro, and I have an Airport Express for the little wireless network I am trying to set up....
    ...I can get my iPhone to connect - that was easy!
    The problem:
    My girlfriend is running Vista Home Premium on her HP laptop. She cannot connect to my network:
    a) actually it comes up on her computer as being "connected to an unidentified network"
    and
    b) she continues to get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" when she tries to connect to the internet.
    Any ideas?
    1) Is there a connection problem between Vista and Airport Express / Snow Leopard?
    2) Anything special I need to do to let a Windows (or Vista specifically) computer connect?

    Possible risks after someone cracked the password and connects to your Wifi:
    - Someone could sniff passwords when the password is transmitted in plain text (e.g. check for mails with POP)
    - Someone could access shares that are not password protected
    - Illegal use of your internet connection
    But I don't know how likely that is. Your decision.
    However, we now identified the Windows Vista Wifi settings as the source of the problem.
    You can now play around with the different encryption settings in the AX and identify when Vista starts to not connect.
    I now remember that I had to add the Wifi settings to Vista manually for WPA2 Personal (WPK) as the system messed it up when I connected with a click and provided the password. So if you want to try WPA2 delete the profile in Vista, probably restart and then add all the Wifi settings manually instead of clicking on an identified network. Vista is definitely able to use WPA2, so there should be no need to toggle between WPA2 and WEP once you configured Vista correctly.

  • Home network print problem

    Something very strange,
    Our home network is a Vista PC with an Epson 2880 printer attached to the Vista PC. My wife's XP PC connects through our simple network and prints on the Epson printed by going through my computer. Simple set up, no problems. We both use CS4, set so CS4 manages color, correct Epson paper profile, printer color management off, all the correct settings. Both our monitors are color corrected with Spyder3.
    When she prints from her computer every picture has a magenta cast. Even more strange is when I copy the same picture onto my PC and open it in my copy of CS4 the picture looks normal but CS4 will not print it. CS4 says I do not have a printer attached. I can open any other picture in the same CS4 session and print with no problems. Every time I try to print a picture that she printed CS4 says there is no printer. This occurs even when I have copied the picture onto my computer and opened it on my computer. I have tried renaming the picture and even changing the format to TIFF or JPEG but CS4 still refuses to print it.
    I can open a new blank document  and use the move tool to move the picture onto the blank document, At this point I can print from CS4 normally AND the picture will not have any color cast?!
    Any help with this?
    Thanks, BradS

    Try setting the default printer on both computers to a generic one (like Fax).
    If you don't have one, download it here:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=pdrv&platform=win
    You may have to delete the Epson first and then re-install.
    This means you will have to select the Epson from the Print dialog each time but if it fixes the problem it's worth it.

  • C6180 Network connect problem

    The printer recognizes and accepts my home network,  my conputers recognize the printer but say "Off line" .  What is the problem?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Print a Network Config Page from the printers front panel.  On there will be its IP address.
    Type the IP into your browser to see if your computer can "see" the printer.
    If it can, consider deleting the printer in the Printer list and re-add manually:
    1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
    2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
    3. Click the Add a printer
    4. Select Local printer
    5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
    6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's host name (found on the printer's network configuration report the generated above). Click Next.
    If you get a message about Additional Port Information Required, then the printer was not found using the host name. You can go back and retry or using the printer's IP address instead of the host name.
    7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
    If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
    8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
    9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
    10. You may be asked to share the printer. Make a choice and click Next.
    11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
    12. Click Finish.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Home Phone Connect problem

    We have been using Verizon's Home Phone Connect for a couple of months now and we have had a problem since day one. We have talked to tech support twice and they confirmed the problem and said they would put in a trouble ticket and have a tier-2 tech call us back. We have never gotten a call back so I thought I would try here.
    When someone calls us the caller hears 3 rings before our house phone rings once. Since we answer on the second or third ring that means the caller hears 5 or 6 rings before we answer. Most callers hang up before we get to the phone.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Best advice is to do the following:
    Place the Home Phone Connect unit close to a window in your home OR any other spot where you get good/great cell strength on your cell phone.
    Double check the antenna on the back of the Home Phone Connect unit is screwed on securely.
    Make sure the Home Phone Connect unit is plugged into a power outlet. NOTE: DO NOT PLUG HOME PHONE CONNECT INTO A WALL PHONE JACK.
    If your cordless home phone equipment is more than five years old, I would consider replacing it. Newer equipment may solve a lot of voice quality issues that are inherent in older equipment being used on a digital network.

  • 1 of 4 computers on my home network connects to hu...

    I have recently installed the BT home hub 2.0. I have 4 computers on my network. 3 of these run on windows XP, and 1 on windows Vista. The 3 XP computers all connect perfectly to the home hub, and can all access the internet. The Vista computer connects to the hub, and sees the other computers on the network. The other computers also see the viista computer, so I'm sure that the connection to the hub is OK, and file sharing and printer sharing works fine. The problem is that the Vista computer cannot get a connection to the internet.
    When I run the network diagnose and repair function on te Vista computer, it tells me that the computer is connected to the internet, and there is no problem with the connection.
    When I look in the home hub manager, it shows that the broadband connection from the router is fine. It also shows that the vista computer is connected.
    However, whatever brouser I try to use I keep getting the message that it cannot display the web page. And when I do the diagnosis, it says there is no internet connection. I have also tried running updates on anti-virus software, and I get a message saying no update possible because there is no internet connection.
    Has anybody experienced the same problem? I don't know whether it's a problem with Vista or with the BT hub, or some sort of compatibility problem between the 2. I have checked all the settings I can think of, and have run out of ideas.
    Solved!

    Sometimes Vista/Windows 7 can have problems with IPv6 connectivity
    In Vista go to Control Panel->Network and Sharing and Click on Wireless networks....
    A dialogue box called wireless network connection" will appear like this:-
    AS you can see from mine, I have no internet acces on Ipv6....
     If you are on Ipv6 instead of Ipv4 click "wireless prperties" and in the next dialogue box, uncheck the Ipv6 box but leave Ipv4 checked...I can't remember but you may have to restart the Vista machine..
