IP issue on wireless with WRT54G and new laptop

Hello,
I just got a new laptop after having gone over a year without one on my home network and I have an issue...
The laptop sees the WRT54G wireless router, says it connects to said router, and then tells me it can't obtain an IP from the router. I vaguely remember when my desktop PC used windows XP and I had this little tool that worked with the WRT54G when I last had a laptop on my home network, and I had the same issue until I 'authorized' it. That tool doesn't seem to exist anymore online and my desktop has had a fresh install of Windows 7 for what seems like ages... Nothing I change in settings seems to get the laptop an IP wirelessly, anyone have any suggestions...?

Oddly, I found a strange, but far easier solution... plugging it in through a wired connection then removing said wire after using the network gave the laptop an IP address and let it work perfectly wirelessly... Though I'm not sure why that should be... It only makes sense if the router doesn't give out IP's to wireless connections for some odd reason...
Oh and I created and manually recreated the connection at least 3 times... With no effect... I even switched from WPA to WEP to wide open while trying to get it to work (it's back on WPA again now) when trying to find a solution... None got me more than limited connectivity as it wasn't getting an IP address from the router, even though it was connecting...

    I have not been able to get spellcheck to work in any build but the "59" one, and that continues with this 6.20 release. This is despite the checked option appearing in Tools/Options. Not sure if it's implemented yet in non-59 builds despite appearing in the UI. Win 8.1.

    b,
    The install was from my original Dell XP Pro-SP1 'Reinstallation' CD along with the complete MS XP-SP2 download that I burned to another CD. I also had all the latest Dell drivers from their website burned to a CD. Install went as follows:
    - Format HD
    - Install XP Pro SP1
    - Install SP2
    - Install Dell Drivers
    - Obtain any MS patches from their site
    - Install Office
    - Update Office from the MS website
    - Install iTunes
    - Tweak MS settings
    - Install many software programs
    - Make an interim Image of system and store to ExHD
    - Install other software programs (mostly security programs)
    - Make another 'complete' Image to ExHD
    - Restore backup data and music
    After additional testing last night, I determined that it is not iTunes at all (or to blame). I get intermittent hangs/freezes/pauses in other media players (WMP, etc.).
    Seems that something is causing the 'System' process to periodically jump up in CPU %age (though not more than 30-50%). Even this relatively small amount is enough to pause the playback of music or video, hang the mouse movement for a brief moment, or delay a menu opening. All very subtle - you have to be looking for it to notice (except with real-time audio-video, which is quite noticeable whenever this happens).
    I had this problem a year ago, which is why I reimaged then and stayed with SP1 on the advice of Dell and Webroot. I'm stumped as to where to look for the culprit. Every time I go back to the original HD with SP1, everything runs smoothly. Some sort of system call is generating this complete pause....
    I'll be limited in my Internet ability for the next several days, so I may be out of touch until Friday. I'll keep testing and playing with the limited equipment I take along....
    Any thought you or others want to toss out, I'll attempt when possible.
    Thanks!

    when you change PC how to make connection with iphone and new PC

    Yes, you can do it the same as any other database. The code would be similar.
    I'd also suggest you not to use the JDBC ODBC bridge for connection. There are other drivers available for that.

  • Printing wirelessly with a brand new MacBook Pro and an old G4 Titanium

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro set up to print wirelessly and it is working wonderfully.
    The problem is my other laptop that is on 10.3.9 is not finding the printer at all. I have all the drivers needed but can not figure out what else I need to do to make this happen. I thought it might be an issue of one computer using Bonjour and one using rendezvous. Is there a way I can have both operating systems talk to the same printer on my AE network?
    Please help!

    Make sure you have "authorized your New MAC" to do this if you haven't in iTunes click on "Store" then "Authorize this computer"
    If thats good then there are a couple of options, First would be, Connect your iPod, Cancel the Sync when it appears. Click on "File" then "Transfer purchase from iPod"
    Option 2 would be create a backup of your iTunes library on your old computer, may take a couple of CD's to do so, all depends on the size of your library. Then simply restore it on the MAC.
    Option 3 (My preferred option) if your old computer is on the same network, turn on Home Sharing on both the Old and New iTunes and simply drag the music you want right on over.
    Very important though that the new itunes be authorized first for any of those to work.
    Hope this helps.

  • Cascade valet m-10 with wrt54g and wap54

    Hello, got a question I Read the article about cascading routers, but still unsure of how i should set up my new valet m-10
    Im currently using a WRT54G as my main router connected to my modem in my home office, and a WAP54 set up as a repeater in the living Room. We have multiple devices still using Wireless G, and a few that have Wireless N so im wanting
    to use the valet just for my N devices and My WRT54 & WAP54 for the G. So do I just cascade the valet off the WRT54? or should I make the Valet the main Router and cascade the G routers? the reason I have the repeater is because the wireless signal is weak in the living room and bedrooms. any ideas that could help me is appreciated thanks ~=)

    If your WRT54G and WAP54G are working then you need not have disturb the connection. As well as if you want to make the WRT54G as the primary router then you can even do that. Second there are two ways to connect a Linksys router to another router:
    1. LAN to LAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the second Valet router to one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the main router.
    This connection makes the computers connected to both routers to be on the same LAN IP segment. This will allow sharing of resources within the network.
    2. LAN to WAN – Connecting one of the Ethernet ports (LAN ports) of the main router to the Internet port (WAN port) of the second Valet router.
    This connection makes it easier to identify which router the computers are connected to since they will have different LAN IP segments. Thus, computers that are connected to router A will not be able to communicate with router B, and vice versa since they are two different networks.

  • Wireless Router WRT54G and VPN RV042

    Respected member please help if u can! I have a ADSL with dynamic connected with wireless router wrt54g , i recently bought RV042 and want to connect wire coming from wireless with ports. so basically, i want to use RV042VPN using after router, is there a way i can use vpn behind wireless with port router using RV042

    If you are getting a public ip address from the ADSL device then connect RV042 to the AdSL device and then configure the settings for wrt54g connected to RV042.with DHCP disbled and connected from LAN on RV to  lan On WRT.

  • Problem with WRT54G and DSL NAT router

    I have a WRT54G connected to a Westell DSL NAT router. I would like to be able to allow incoming connections to my FreeBSD server.
    The Westell router allows me to set IP Passthrough (they call it "Single Static IP"). This gives the WRT54G the outside IP address given to the DSL router. I can then set up the WRT54G for DDNS and port forwarding to forward specific ports I want to my server.
    This works, for about 2-3 days. Then, I start to randomly lose outside connectivity. Web pages start coming up with missing elements, or taking a long time to load. This will eventually lead to total loss of outgoing communication.
    Normally, I would blame this on the Westell NAT router, but as I'm losing connectivity to the internet, I'm also losing connectivity to the WRT54G. It will try to load configuration pages but will be slow with missing elements, etc.
    All communications between computers on my inside network continue to function properly, it's just connectivity to the WRT54G and the internet that seem to start to fail.
    Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I just upgraded the firmware on the WRT54G from 1.01.1 to 1.02.0, but I don't imagine this will help.
    Thanks,
    David Chamberlain

    It may not have been considered a "Major Release," But when the it's the only OS that the machines you are currently building will run, it's pretty freakin' major!
    (I'm not sure if Apple's latest machines will still run 10.5, or not, but from following this thread, I'm guessing not?)
    It is the standard at Apple... the latest build of the current OS is what goes on the new machines, and the Motherboards, Chipsets, & BIOS (not the right term for it with Mac, I know) are "hard written" to accept that OS as the absolute minimum, and nothing older (or lower as some call it).
    So, since the latest machines are coming preloaded with Snow Leopard (10.6.2) that, and subsequent newer builds of OS 10.6 and up is all they can be loaded with.
    This is nothing new. It's industry wide in both Mac and PC. Just try to put XP on a brand new Dell, HP, or Gateway PC. Without flashing the BIOS and taking a "more likely than not" chance of rendering most of your hardware undetectable, it just ain't gonna happen.
    Conversely, just as Snow Leopard won't run on a PPC powered Mac, Vista and 7 may install, or appear to, on a single core, older PC, but the first time you install and try to open anything other than the OS itself, you're in for a world of problems.
    People have tried to fight this for years. In 2005 Mac users went out of their minds when Apple dropped support for OS 9. A year later, it was Windows 98 users freaking out over their beloved OS being "sunsetted". I was skeptical of the move to Intel processors when I first heard about it, having become a full time Mac user, and being partial to AMD before that. But like Motorola PPC processors, AMDs run hot and heat is the enemy. The new machines run faster, cooler, and do more for less money.
    It's a major pain for people who don't have the budget for a new Mac (or PC) and still have old software that is perfectly functional, but they are finding more and more incompatibility as they interact with other people and newer systems. Sooner or later though, technology wins and everyone has to either upgrade or drop out.  Fighting it is futile.  I will always remember the day last Summer when I stopped at a traffic light and next to me was an older, redneck looking fellow in a new brand spanking new Honda Accord. It may have even been a hybrid, I don't know, but duct taped on his dash was what had to be a thirty-five year-old 8-track player with a bunch of wires coming out of the back, also taped to the dash, and running to a pair of 6 x 9 speakers, which were just laying on the dash (no duct tape). I had to wonder why he bothered to buy the latest in automotive technology and yet he was stuck in a time warp for his stereo. Don't Hondas come with some pretty decent CD stereo units? And where can you find 8 track tapes anymore?

  • What should I do with scratches on new laptop?

    Less than a day after receiving the X120e my speaker dies, sent to Lenovo for repair, they fix it and return it to me a week later (that's no the bad part).
    The bad part is that
    - there is a STICKER on the battery they didn't take out.
    - there are scratches on the underside where they couldn't figure out HOW to put the cover back
    - there are nicks and hairline scratches on the bottom lip where the palm rest is (looks like they tried to jam the top casing out/in creating nicks)
    I called again and it looks like they are sending me a box again for me to send in my laptop.  Seriously?  Who do I need to call or talk to so I can get a new laptop (as they ruined my new laptop) or a refund (with delayed shipment and this mess, I still won't have my laptop after 1 month....

    my x120e should be coming in a few days.... man I hope I don't have all these issues being mentioned by everyone. 
    dude seriously, I would keep sending it back until I get a perfect product. don't settle for even a sratch, that's total bs!
    I am now kinda nervous and angry that I went with lenovo but we'll see when my x120e comes

  • IPod Nano won't sync with iTunes on new laptop

    When I first got my new laptop about a month ago I did the 'homesharing' technique to be able to use my iTunes on it, it worked successfully up until I tried to purchase new music from the iTunes Store & upload music into my Library from my laptop.. It just wouldn't sync onto my Nano! Every time I clicked the Sync tab nothing would happen even though the music had all been purchased/uploaded perfectly fine. I had ofcourse made sure my iTunes was 'activated' onto my new laptop, etc etc & when I went onto my old laptop to try it on there all the music DID sync onto my Nano.
    Since then I've re-installed iTunes several times even copied my full iTunes folder onto an external USB stick & transferred it that way & still my Nano will not sync with my iTunes! The new iTunes isn't helping much either as I find it quite confusing to work out as it's totally different. But yeah even with the new iTunes upgrade my Nano still won't sync.
    I'm at a loss, I've no idea what the problem is! Can anyone help?

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
