Intermittent connectivity, possibly due to third-party 802.11b bridge?

I use a Linksys 802.11b wireless bridge/switch/router with a 12" G4 iBook and up until recently, everything worked just fine.
Then about two weeks ago I brought home a 12" G4 PowerBook and tried to use it with this wireless network. The PowerBook is able to connect and about 50% of the time everything works fine. However occasionally I'm unable to transfer data across the network. The Wireless connection never "drops" (there is no indication that it is unavailable via the menu bar or the control panel) but once this happens I usually have to restart the computer to get things back to normal.
The time I see this the most is when I'm moving large files around on the network, either large internet downloads or just copying large files from the laptop to a NAS device I have connected to the LAN using a wired 100mbps connection.
It seems like a long time ago I had a Windows laptop with an 802.11g card and when I'd bring that up with this configuration some similar problems would occur, but that was a long time ago so I can't confirm this.
What I'm suspecting is that since the bridge is 802.11b the wireless cards in the iBook and PowerBook need to run in "b" mode. Maybe the card in the iBook does a better job of this than the PowerBook?
If my theory is correct than picking up an 802.11g bridge should do the trick, but I wanted to see if there were any other things I could try before throwing more hardware at the problem. One thought I had would be to force the wireless card in the PowerBook to use 802.11b always, but I couldn't find a way to force this configuration.
Any thoughts or assistance is appreciated!

You shouldn't have to make any changes with the Airport Admin Utility. On the Acer, just add a new network connection using the "New Connection Wizard," follow the instructions and enter your network's security password when prompted.

  • Connect report output to third party systen

    Dear Techis
    Can we connect Report output to third party system and hw?
    Pls advice............

    Hi Yong,
    Yes that's possible. You can use the web interface to configure logging category messages so that they are sent to remote syslog server targets
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.3/user/guide/logging.html#wp1052741
    ACS provides these preconfigured global ACS logging categories, to which you can assign log targets.

  • MainStage message: possible conflict with third party midi or audio drivers

    Just when I thought everything was going to be ok...
    MainStage gives me a message that it detects a possible conflict with third party audio or midi drivers. The only midi device I'm using is class compliant (doesn't need a driver). My audio interface is an Apogee Duet and I'm using the most recent driver. Logic registers no such complaint. MainStage freezes. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hello.
    I am seeing this whenever MIDI events are being sent into either Logic or MainStage (primarily MainStage), while they are launching. On my setup, this will either crash the application during launch, ( sent to Apple ) or trigger this "...3rd party conflict / driver..." dialog.
    In either instance, disabling incoming MIDI messages by turning them off on all connected MIDI devices, or as suggested, waiting to connect the device in question until, the application is fully launched, fixes my version of this issue.
    ** Please Note: In my experience, increasing the number incoming MIDI messages, exacerbates the issue and, makes a dialog or crash more likely to occur.
    Hope this is helpful.

  • Is it possible for a third party to be added to an esatblished text message thread?

    Is it possible for a third party to be added to a text message thread (between 2 people). This test message thread has been established for over a year! He says he could see our message history via his icloud. Is this possible? Please help.....

    How "third party" are we talking about here.....? Not another user (usually family) who has access to the same Apple Id, is it? I know, that seems too obvious.....
    Could you explain the situation a little more? Did you or the other party forward your iMessage ("text" between "i" devices/Mac users) to this 3rd party? How did this 3rd party end up with any portion of your conversation (or is that the question)? I know it is easy to forward a portion of your conversation to another user. When you choose to forward a "text bubble", you receive round check boxes next to all messages in the conversation; you just pick and choose how much you want the 3rd party to receive. Other than that method, I know of no way to loop in a 3rd party to an existing conversation via iPhone or iPad.
    Anyone else?
    Best of luck,
    Bill

  • Connecting ibook g4 with third-party wireless network

    i've got a ibook g4 with an airport extreme card that i'm trying to connect to a third-party wireless network. When i am right beside the router, it works at about 75%, but I walk 15 feet away and the signal is totally gone. the computer the router is hooked up to is a PC, and so are the other three computers in the house that access the wireless network. The PC's are all further away from the router, yet they can still get a basic signal. Why is my mac not working with this and what can i do about it?
    router: d-link 802.11g/2.4Ghz
    my ibook: g4, 14", superdrive

    You can verify that the antenna wire is properly attached to the AirPort Extreme card. See the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card.

  • Ethercat connection between windowsPC an third party device.

    The connection has not to be real-time capable.
    Is this connection possible without buying any third-party drivers?

    Hi Reinhard,
    Our EtherCAT driver only works for our Real-Time targets.  Unfortunately, there is no Windows solution for NI-Industrial Communications for EtherCAT.

    Does anyone know of any third party adapters that will work with the Airport Extreme/Time Capsule and can be controlled using the Airport drop-down menu in the main menu bar?
    Thanks

    Alright, does anyone know of any good 802.11n adapters that at least work with the the Airport Extreme? I've checked out the QuickerTek products that claim to be compatible with the AEBS, but is there anything less expensive? There cheapest one is $90.

  • Number of remote RFC connections to SAP from third party application

    Hi All,
    We are using an external application which is using the JCO API to make a connection to the SAP server to pass invoices. But the connections are note properly closed after invoking the RFCs and SAP seems to be not able to handle further requests once the numer  of connections reach the maximum limit.
    Could you tell whether there is a max limit on the number of connections opened to SAP from remote function calls from a third party product?
    Is there anyway by which we can make sure that connections are properly closed in SAP after the each remote call?
    Thanks in advance for your pointers.
    Regards
    Arun

    Dear Arun,
    Here are the parameter settings which you can do to set up RFC connections to SAP servers.

  • Connection of TREX and Third Party WebApplication

    Hello,
    we need detailed information how to access TREX 6.1 by a Third Party Web Application. The scenario can be described as follows:
    We want to to enter a search query into the Third Party Web Application and send the query to TREX. Therefore we want to know whether we need a gateway or interface. Additionally we need to know the query syntax to make TREX understand what shall be searched for. The main questions is: How can we submit the search query to the trex web server? Finally we have to interpret the answer. Here are the main questions: How does the answer look like (format)? And which information will be delivered?
    Please don't link us to KM Indexmanagement APIs for search with TREX!
    Regards
    Steffen

    Thank you very much, Karsten!
    Your answer came as quick as a flash I do not really miss a thing at the KM IMS, but this question was a customers challenge. So I have to explain that Java or ABAP is needed inevitably to access the records of an index or rather perfom a getRecord-functionality with documents stored in TREX.
    Best regards

  • Possible to use third-party virtual instrument sounds in Mainstage?

    Hi guys,
    I've tried to find the answer to this question with no luck. When using Mainstage during live performances (or at rehearsals, off course, will I be limited to using Apple's built in sounds in Mainstage, or will I be able to add sound from other virtual instruments like the ones from Native Instrument for instance? Let's say I want to play my favorite piano sound from Akoustik Piano and want to use this conveniently from within the Mainstage interface - is this somehow possible?
    Thank you!
    Best,
    Thomas

    Absolutely --- Native Instruments plugins are all available as AUs and work very well with MainStage.
