HP 3050 - Cant Connect To Anything Via Wireless

I am very baffled as to what is going on this is how my computers are connected....
My main PC is connected to my router via an ethernet cable
My 2 laptops are connected via wireless
They arn't in a network so to speak as in they see and share files they just use the router to connect to the internet now my PC I got is working fine so it sends info to the router via Ethernet and bang printer prints via wireless, Now for my laptop I installed the CD software V 22.5.0 according to the disc. I went through the set-up and wanted to connect wireless so I followed the screen prompts used the USB cable to install device drivers and though the next screen see's my printer and network name it will not connect at all says it cant find it to actually connect to it.
I turned off the windows firewall on the laptop thinking that could be it but no I even went into the screen where I can manually type the IP address of the printer and it still wont find and connect to it, for router is a Netgear DGN2000 with the latest firmware I have set it up so that all the hardware I know thats connected has a IP address reserved so everything gets the same address all the time.
I even tried to get into the printer via IP address in IE9 but it wont even connect to it even searching in Add Printer it wont see my model even though the software is installed unless I keep it connected via USB to keep drivers on
Can anyone help because I have seriously tried for days

Hi,
That means nothing wrong with "seeing" each other (asuming the printer can also ping the laptop). I'm chatting with my network people now (using communicator). Hope he can have some thoughts. I will update this.
Updated: He was saying why you selected to use USB to install on laptops ( I followed the screen prompts used the USB cable to install device drivers ) ? You need that printer driver and its wireless utility. Should be on the CD.

I cant connect to my router wirelessly but I can connect directly, Is there anything I can do about this?

does the wired computer get an ip address from the router ?? check whether it pings the router's ip add ( default ip add - 192.168.1.1 )

I cannot find the 'WPA passphrase' to connect my printer via wireless and cannot find it in Airport utility (MAC says it cannot find any open airports)

MAC OS X 10.6.3 - desktop Mac
I browsed similar questions and saw that someone recommended going to the Airport Utility and then selecting manual set up or something- anyways, it could not find any airports. I have brought my printer from my house as my BF's has died - this is the first time it's asked for a WPA passphrase. We tried a very long series of capital letters and numbers as well as the password for the internet and both times the printer said "invalid passphrase"..... ......

Airport Utility is for administration of genuine Apple Base Stations. If you have a different Brand, Airport Utility can do nothing for you.
I think they're using ethernet.
To connect a Printer via Ethernet, no password is needed.
We already tried the password for the internet and that did not work...
If a password is required to connect to the Internet, then WiFi is likley being used, and that WiFi password is the one needed for the Printer connect wirelessly as well.
What make&model Printer? Is it indeed a Wireless Printer? Most connect via USB, but that would force it to use a specific computer to assist in printing.

Cant connect to airport over wireless network

Hi all, I hope you can help.
I can't connect to my wireless network?
I have a netgear wireless modem (brand new today), if I connect my mac via ethernet i can use the web but not via wireless.
When I try to connect to a wireless network, it asks me for the WPA2 security code which I type in and it always fails to connect.
I looked in the airport utilities and tried to scan for devices but it would not show up my modem?
A bit of back ground to this problem. Yesterday I was using my old wireless net work. Netgear Modem connected to an AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n and AirTunes. I have had this for a few years and has worked ok up until yesterday. I had an issue with my xbox 360 not being able to connect to my wireless network after an update so their Tech people told me to add the xbox mac code to my base station. I went into the airport utility and scanned for my base station and it appeared. I typed in the code and clicked ok. It then dissapeared from my airport utility and would not appear even when I scanned for it. Funny enough the xbox was connected but although I could see my network, my mac and 2 other PCs i have could connect?)
Any ideas as I can't suss this out.
Cheers

Try temporarily disabling any wireless encryption on your Netgear wireless modem/router. Can your Mac connect wirelessly now? If not, what is the model of your Netgear?
I looked in the airport utilities and tried to scan for devices but it would not show up my modem?
The AirPort Utility will only work with AirPorts or Time Capsules, not other vendors' products. Most non-AirPort router use web-based administration ... so you would have to use Safari or another web browser to access the Netgear.

Problems Connecting Computer & Printer Via Wireless

I've recently just bought a HP Deskjet 2544 printer. I've installed the printer as per all the instructions, however when i tried to install this via the wireless it could not find the computer even though it was connected to the wireless in the house. Because of this problem, I was able to install via the USB cable.
Since installing I can print only via the USB cable. I've went back and tried to connect the computer and the printer via wireless and everything is telling me they are connected (i've ran a systems report and all the lights are on, on the printer), however I keep getting the same messafe "unable to connect to your computer".
Any ideas how to fix this, so that I can print wirelessley?
Thanks

Can't connect to internet via wireless

I am unable to connect to the internet via wireless on a consistent basis I can ping my router every time though. When the internet works it seems to be completely random. I tried some fixes posted on the forums for problems similar to mine like, setting my default gateway and using open dns servers, but neither of those fixes seemed to help with my set up. Any ideas?
My wireless card uses the Ralink rt 2760 chipset. Thanks

What are the characteristics of the wireless networks to which you are trying to connect?
Are they managed or ad-hoc?
Are they WEP?
Are they WPA?
If the link is encrypted but the NIC isn't, the NIC will associate with the network and a ping will work, but any packet containing actual data (like a DHCP request, any TCP or UDP request, SNMP, etc... ) will fail.
As a quick test, if you have administrative rights to your access point, turn off WEP and WPA and see if you can connect. I advise you turn encryption back on when you are done with the experiment.

I cant connect to internet via network

My wifes iPhone 4S will not connect to safari via verizon network. I've tried google, etc.. Search wheel just keeps rotating but not response. It will connect via WiFi at home. But when in the car and she wants to get directions it won't connect. Is there something in settings I'm missing?
Thanks.
Greg

Hi Greg, you may find the following helpful:
Open the "Settings" app then press "General". Then proceed to "Network" and ensure that "Cellular Data" is toggled on. Try navigating to a website in Safari now. If this didn't work try going to "General" then "Reset". You will see a series of six options; select "Reset Network Settings". Try to visit a website once more. If you were unable to load the website try restarting the phone. If all else fails try bringing the phone to a genius bar at an Apple retail store for a diagnostic test.
Hope this helps

Lion 10.7.5 cant connect to printer via Buffalo print server

Hi everyone,
I'm at my wits end with this one having spent over 20 hours on it.
I have a Macbook Air running Lion 10.7.5 and a Macbook running OSX 10.6.8. I have a Photosmart 8050 printer attached to a Buffalo Linkstation Live LS-CH1 running firmware 1.60 (the latest version for this model). The Linkstation has a printserver which is attached via USB to the printer, the Linkstation is attached to a wireless router, for amound other things, wireless printing.
The long and the short of my problem is, I can get the Macbook running 10.6.8 to print without a problem, works fantastic, but I can not get the Air running 10.7.5 to print through the print server even though the printers are installed the very same way on both machines. The error from the print que is "unable to connect to printer" even though it seems to connect successfully to the Linkstation, as in my setup a username and password must be entered to access the printer, even though a user is logged in to the file server. Not to get confused, I am 99% convinced the problem is with the Macbook Air running 10.7.5.
I installed the printers using the Windows method, Workgroup -> Linkstation -> Printer then selecting the HP 8000 series driver version 5.0.4. I have also tried every other install method available, however as I understand it, this is the recommended method for this print server setup.
I have checked the network setup, driver versions and even though it does not seem to cover my printer have GutenPrint 5.2.9 installed.
The printer does work when connected directly to USB however.
If anyone has any idea why I cant get the Macbook Air running 10.7.5 to print via the print server on the Linkstation when 10.6.8 works perfectly, then please HELP!
Thank you

Power Cycle
Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait for few minutes.
Connect the router back to to the wall.
Power the router back on. Wait until all lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode.

MacBook Pro can't connect to iPod via wireless

Hi,
I have a fresh installed Mac OS X 10.5.5 on my new MacBook Pro.
Nothing was installed on it! no firewall, nothing! But i can't get connection to my iPod touch 2g.
I can see my iPod via bonjour, it has an IP, but i can't successful ping it. When i start the application "Remote" on my iPod, i can see it in iTunes, can't connect to itunes either.
What's wrong? On my other macbook i have no problem at all.
Thank you very much

I am having the same issue. If I plug an Ethernet cable into my Late 2008 MBP, I can connect to my iPod touch using any of the several apps, like Remote, AirSharing, 1Password, etc.
However, I cannot connect to the ipod using the MPB's airport. Like the peter2k, I can't even ping the iPod. Other laptops on the same network can wireless connect and ping my ipod just fine.
This is driving me nuts! Btw, prior to getting this laptop, I had an Early 2008 MBP that I used to connect to my ipod touch. I did a migration to this new MBP, but it has never been able to connect.

Airport Express - cant connect to internet via PPPoE

Hi guys/girls,
I am having trouble getting internet access with my newly bought Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi. I was connected to the internet via an Arcor DSL-speed modem 200 (Arcor is my provider here in Germany), using the PPPoE protocol, and an Ethernet cable.
I have set up Airport Express (AX) to use PPPoE, and managed to get a connection to the internet for about 5 seconds (even up to 20 secs once - YAY!)... before the connection drops again. AX tries continuously to connect to the internet, as if it is stuck in a loop, but never manages to make the connection last. The trouble I am experiencing look very much similar to what is described on the threads below from about 2 years ago. There it is suggested that the Firmware could be the problem. Or is it my provider?
In German: http://www.macuser.de/forum/f15/arcor-speed-modem-178771/
In English: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1481024
Since both posts are from 2 years ago, and I would have expected the problem to be solved. Apparently not. Any suggestions?
cheers

Yes - I was still old-school: plugging in my Ethernet DSL cable into my laptop every time, using PPPoE as that is what my internet provider requires.
I have now indeed attached AX to my DSL modem via the Ethernet cable. Following your suggestion,I set-up a network location where PPPoE is disabled. But unfortunately no effect... After 5-15 secs (even up to 35 secs this time!) i get the message that my Ethernet is unplugged. Which it obviously is not, and I even cant blame the cat for it!
Two problems keep being listed:
Ethernet unplugged
PPPoE server
Could the problem be with my internet provider?

ITunes content not visible when connected to internet via wireless

I have been having problems with my Apple TV. It did not show any iTunes Store content. After some considerable attempts at reconfiguration, I finally restored to factory settings and I still could not connect to the internet via my airport extreme wireless network. I therefore ran an ethernet cable instead and all the itunes store content appeared and I was able to sync with my Macbook Pro. I then looked at the network configeration using the ethernet recorded the settings and took the cable out. Then reconnected using the wireless connection, initally it could not connect to the internet but then I went through the manual connection and set the settings using DCHP and it then connected but once again there is no iTunes store content, if I reconnect the iTune store content comes back as does the uTube and internet radio both of which also disappear if I try and go wireless. Any thoughts?

are you connecting to the same router for the ethernet and wireless connections?
