Home networking problem with new WRH54G

I just bought a new WRH54G to replace my old BEFW11S4v2 which was experiencing drop outs.  I have a simple network with two PCs wired to the router sharing a cable modem Internet connection.  The PCs are both running XP.  With the new router the PCs can each access the Internet but don't seem to be able to see each other on the LAN.  I stick in the old router and the PCs see each other and share files.  I put in the new router and I get a message saying I don't have sufficient permissions to access other PCs.  I swap the routers - works fine with the old, doesn't work with the new.  I have run the XP Home Networking Wizard repeatedly but the results don't change.  Have I missed a configuration parameter on the new router?  I tried Online Chat but the guy had me run the Wizard again and then he disappeared.

Thanks for the suggestion - that's what the Online Chat person suggested last night.  Remember, I described that everything works fine with my old router (BEFW11S4) (except for the continual disconnects).  File and printer sharing is turned on and configured correctly on the PCs.  It's only when I replace the old router with the new router (WRH54G) that the two PCs can no longer see each other.  Linksys experts keep telling me to turn on file sharing - but it's been on and working for years.  There's something about replacing the old router with the new router.
Anyway, I've located the problem in general terms.  I recently installed Norton 360 on both computers.  Norton 360 contains a firewall.  When I turn off this firewall everything works.  It's my problem and not Linksys'.  I had checked the Microsoft firewall but didn't realize that Norton 360 also had a firewall.  I don't know why the old router works - I've got to check on that.  Maybe this experience will help somebody else.

  • TS1398 network problem with new upgrate

    I never had any problems with my I Phone 4s until I upgraded to the new IOS6.   I want to go into my banking accounts like I always did but it constantly says " Safari cannot open the page because it could not establish a secure connection to the server”  How do I fix this problem?

    Which do I check in the sharing? I tried some and it doesn't seem to work (this is on the leopard). What I am trying to do is take my iTunes file from the PC and share it so I can reload the music on the new mac.

  • Cannot get a home network functioning with new bth...

    As a relatively new BT infinity customer I simply cannot get a home network up and running...
    I have one PC which is hard-wired into the router and two laptops, all running windows 7.  I have discovered from this forum that BThomehubs don't like Windows own homegroup utility so I need to ensure that all devices are on the same workgroup.  OK, done.
    Every sharing option is checked and even my printer properties are slected to share all.  The printer is wired via USB into the main PC.  I can 'see' my laptops from the PC and vice versa through windoes explorer but can only access the laptops from the PC, not the other way around which is a pain for transferring files (one of the key reasons for haveing the network in the first place!)
    My printer is an Epson all in one PX650 which worked quite happily when I was a Sky Boradband customer from all devices.  Now I can't even see it or seemingly add it to the network... in fact I'm not even sure I have a network in the truest sense.  This is too hard BT when your competitors made it so simple.
    Any thoughts will be much appreciated...

    Not sure what you mean by that. If you mean set a Starting page for Safari, then you can't. Safari will open up on the last page you browsed. If you close all tabs before exiting, it will jsut open to the gray screen. From there you can search using the google search at the top left of the address bar, or simply enter an address in the address bar.

      I also cannot get my serial number to contact support. 
    This can be easily obtained by flipping the iPad over and looking at the fine text at the bottom of the backside.
    The Serial number is printed there.
    Alternatively going into Settings->Geneal->About will have the serial number in the list of things about the iPad.
    If you are finding it difficult to navigate around the iPad, perhaps setting up an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store may be usefull. As they have Usage classes you can take.

  • Home Network Woes With New E2500

    I replaced an EA1000 Wi-Fi router with a E2500, and my internet is faster, so that is a good thing. What's not-so-good is that my computers don't see each other on the network like they did before. I have 2 laptops running Windows 7 and a tablet running Windows 8.1. My main Win7 laptop does not see either of the other 2 PCs; The 2nd Win7 laptop may or may not see the other 2; and my Win8 tablet sees only the main Win7 laptop. I've gone through everything in all 3 PCs as far as Network and Sharing Center Settings. I've tried different security settings in the router setup. I would really like all 3 PCs to see each other like they did on the old router. Any suggestions on where to look, and what to look for?

    Guest network is off. Both PCs that are here (1 is on a road trip) are connected to the 5 GHz band.
    Both are set for Automatic IP Address.
    To add to the mystery, my Dell tablet sees itself AND my Dell latop on the network, and can access files on the laptop, while the laptop itself does not even recognize itself as being on the network, i.e. when I click on network in Windows Explorer, nothing shows up. I would immediately suspect the Dell laptop as being the issue, since it doesn't even see itself on the network, except for that little fact that I can put the old router back online and each computer will see the others and they play happily together. This wackiness only happens on the new router.
    Any other ideas? (and I do appreciate your help!)

  • Wifi problems with new ipad

    I'm trying to learn how to correct wifi problems with new iPad.  It is the wifi only, 64GB model.  I want to be able to use it at work, where we have a great wifi network.  I can usually connect to our network with no problem, but after an hour or so my iPad loses the network.  When I try to reconnect, I see that the network is showing full strength reception, but I get the error message from the iPad that I am "Unable to join" the network.  My iPhone connects to the same network seamlessly, as do all of the other iPhones of my co-workers and the older generation iPads that some of our staff has.
    At other locations, I typically have no problems (home, apple store, etc.) but I have had the same situation pop up at a coffee shop where I could see that there was a wifi network available, but I could not join it even though it was the shop's free wifi. 
    I have tried turning the iPad off, turning off wifi and turning it back on again, and forgetting the wifi network in question.  I can't think of any other methods that are available to an end user to correct the problem. 
    I have already gone to the Apple store to swap out the unit, and the newer one is having the same symptoms. 
    Can anyone offer any advice here?  This is quite frustrating.

    No problem! Have a read at this most interesting article which has special significance as regards your models!

  • Can't connect to my home wi-fi with new Iphone 5?

    can't connect to my home wi-fi with new Iphone 5

    When you say it doesn't detect the network - is that under "Settings->Wi-Fi"? It doesn't show your network at all?
    This may sound like a stupid question but since I've learned never to leave any stone unturned - you don't have your SSID set to "hidden" do you?

  • Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.
    Best Regards

  • List of Problems with new Web Mail

    List of Problems with NEW Web Mail :
    - At first doesn't open full page message list or retain full page as default setting, have to drag down bar
    - Only shows 20 message lines after “pulling down” the divider, screen partially empty until I scroll down.  It should show at least 26, preferably all available
    - After moving bar, bar moves back up after going back to inbox (not delete message) after reading a message, have to move it down again, and again...
    - Doesn't go to next message when delete message on screen is selected, no setting option for default to do this.
    - There is a drop down to select which folder to move a selected email to.  The initial display shows 7 usable choices, with the usual slider and arrow to show more choices.  The space on the slider clearly shows more choices are present (actually about 20 or so are there), but any attempt to use the slider or arrow to see more choices causes the drop-down to instantly disappear.  I can't move the selected field with arrow keys either.  I can select any of the visible 7 choices, and move an email to only one of the 7.  NOTE: This one works in both IE and Firefox, but if Verizon Webmail was fully web standard (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_standards) compliant it would also work in my preferred browser, Mozilla Seamonkey, the direct descendant of the original Mozilla browser.  Webmail should be FULLY web standard.
    - Occasionally a message will move from inbox to trash, without NO indication or command to move them.
    - Emails occasionally flash an error message and simply disappear - not to trash or other findable place, just disappear.  No time to read the error message either.
    - No way to set a whitelist for supposed spam emails, unless the whitelist for “Blocking” is the same.  Very unclear.
    - How can I switch my service back to the original, basic, email which works ok?  I know it’s still there, since some of my other accounts still access it!!!
    This seems my only way of getting this info direclty to the programming staff.  If it doesn't actually do this, will SOMEONE PLEASE FORWARD THIS MESSAGE TO THEM !?!  
    Thanks!

    Contrarily, it is Verizon's, as well as other companies like Verizon whose customer base uses a wide variety of web browsers, web page designers' responsibility to use only standard W3C-recognized code and not to use non-standard non-W3C-recognized code, e.g., Microsoft's Internet Explorer specific code, when designing their web pages. In my opinion based on my observations, Verizon's web page designers are too often guilty of using IE-specific code.

  • Before I buy has there been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

    Before I spend my hard earned cash does anyone know if there has been any problems with new 27 iMacs?

    Hello richard from Folsom:
    Are you inside or outside?  (  I could not resist, I lived in Sactown).
    Anyway, advice is frequently worth what you pay for it, and mine is free.
    If you want it, buy it.  The posts above are right on the mark (except waiting is probably overly-cautious).  The best advice (from anamusic) is to buy the extended warranty - well worth the money.

  • I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.

    I just started using my iphone 5s. I have a problem with new incoming emails from my POP account. Why are they marked as read automatically even though I have not even opened them yet.
    At first I thought it might be because I was using simultaneously my old iPhone 4S so it somehow realized the emails where being pushed to another device and the it marked as read, this has nothing to do since I have deleted the email account from the iPhone 4S

    Contact the email provider for assistance with their service.
