Laptop-wireless w/befw11s4

My isp made some changes and I lost the linksys connection. I have since restored my desk top (and laptop with the ethernet cable only) Wireless, the lap top claims to be connected-but recieves zilch, and I cannot connect to the internet. I have tried everything!! Ideas?

Changed the ip address as well as the subnet mask, gateway, and dns address. That's how I was able to get it to work with the wire. Pinging was unsuccessful at first try, and later returned.

Connecting XP laptop wirelessly to AEBS

Hi,
I'm having trouble connecting my laptop running Windows XP to an AEBS that connects well to my iMac desktop (via ethernet cable) and my Powerbook laptop (wirelessly).
I've been able to get a signal with full strength using WPA2 Personal from the AEBS, and using WPA-PSK and TKIP on my XP machine, but still can't connect to the internet.
I tried following the directions on iFelix, and switching over to WEP but was still not successful.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Milo

See if it is an encryption issue, turn off all encryption temporarily and see if you can now connect.
This will determine if it is an encryption issue or something else.
Does the XP laptop get a valid IP address or is it a self-assigned address as in 169.x.x.x or similar?

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files?

TC late 2008. I want to give Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files? I have tried to locate "Guest" accounts in my Airport Utility with no luck and I do not understand my options. Example: Could I add a Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway router before or after my TC and not have a security problem?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Guest networking requires a "simultaneous dual-band" AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. Those weren't introduced until 2009.
Are the files you want to protect on your Time Capsule or on your Mac? You can protect files on your Time Capsule with a password. In AirPort Utility look at the Disks panel, File Sharing tab.

Do you experience the same issue using other browsers, e.g. Safari?

Unable to connect on laptop wirelessly

I can't connect to the internet on my laptop but I'm able to when I don't turn on any wireless security. When I set as WPA/WPA2 security then I can't connect to my network on my laptop wirelessly. I'm using a WRT160n v3 linksys router.

If you are using Win XP, you will need SP3 to run WPA2 ( = WPA with AES). Vista already runs WPA2.
Next, in the router, give your network a new unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". Do not use your old SSID. If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Next, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Delete any network with your old SSID. Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Then enter your new network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. Your computer should connect automatically to your router (it can take up to 2 minutes). If you still have trouble, temporarily turn off your computer software firewall and try again to connect.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your computer's wireless adapter.
Some users have reported improved wireless performance by switching to WPA encryption.
Note:
For WEP, enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into your computer, not the WEP password or passphrase.
For WPA or WPA2, enter the key (sometimes called password or passphrase) into your computer.

Signal Drop due to laptop wireless?

Hi guys,
Just wanted to know any possible reasons to why my iPhone drops my phone signal the moment my laptop wireless is switched on? If i switch the wireless off, the service doesnt return either, i have to remove the sim and re-insert it and the iPhone will then manage to get the service back and if that doesnt work i have to manually select the carrier, and even then its tempermental.
As of now i have service and the laptop wireless is off but im going to need to use the wireless on my laptop eventually, and my iPhone at the same time....Sooo, solving this seems a priority for me.

Because the drop could have caused internal damage.
The resonance from the drop may have caused little physical damage but it could have damaged internal parts.
This happens when you drop a radio or even a walkie talkie it just is unseen damage.

Wireless router =/= Wireless functions, BEFW11S4

I've just recieved my brand new Lenovo super-sexy laptop with 2 gigs of Ram and a T2060 processor (sweet!), and I've got a wireless router next to me *Linksys BEFW11S4* that has been wired to two desktops for a couple months, working great. I've now got my laptop wired (ewwww) to post this, because this laptop nor a D3ll my uncle has is picking up the router signal...it doesn't seem to be broadcasting. I have wireless Enabled, SSID [my name], SSID broadcast: enabled, Channel 1, WEP key mandatory, but that's just encryption...I'm not even detecting it right now. Any thoughts as to what it could be? Are there any settings I need to configure? I followed the install instructions, no success. Could it be that both of the laptops are running Vista, and the router is too old or something? The router is a B router, but the wireless card in this one is G/B. I can actually pick up my neighbour's signal from here, but nothing from mine (even though it's RIGHT next to me). Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Your BEFW11S4 is not listed as being compatible with Vista. Vista compatible routers are listed here:
http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_CASupport_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=116967192962...
You probably could get a wired connection to your BEF, but a wireless connection is less likely. Maybe you could try to connect using WPA (= WPA with TKIP), but it likely will not work.
My guess is that you have already replaced your computer twice since you bought that router. Time for a new router.

Cannot connect desktop (wired) & laptop (wireless)

I've been at this for days, scoured much info and many threads, and tried many things; so I could go on and on for days about all I've found and tried. I'll try to be concise, but I also want to be thorough. Every other forum I’ve posted in has asked the same questions, so I’m just going to try to get it all out there right off the bat. I apologize if I come off as curt. I’m usually good for some laughs, but I’ve been at this for way too long and am feeling pretty deflated.
GOAL: Achieve connectivity between my desktop and my new T520 - be able to swap files without fumbling thumb drives or emailing myself.
SYSTEM SPECS:
   Desktop
self built: AMD Phenom II X4 3.4GHz
Mobo: Gibabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
network adapter: Realtek RTL8168D/8111D
running Windows 7 Professional
   Laptop
Lenovo T520
network adapter: Intel Centrino Advanced N 6205
running Windows 7 Home Premium

Belking F5D8231-4 version 3000
SUMMARY OF EFFORTS THUS FAR:
Firewalls: Windows & router disabled
Anti-virus: (AVG) disabled, then uninstalled
Network adaptor drivers: updated
Router firmware: updated
Router has been restored to factory settings
Power cycles performed multiple times at various points
Tried static ip addresses (presently set to dynamic) - shared ip addresses not the cause
Sharing options have been enabled both in general network settings and specific folders
Pinging results in either "Request timed out." or "Destination host unreachable."
My network is designated a "Home network"
Neither machine is connected to multiple networks
Both machines are assigned to same Workgroup: tried changing from generic "WORKGROUP" to custom name to isolate my machines from rommie's
Relevant services I've been told to check and confirmed started:
                         - DHCP Client
                         - Computer Browser
                         - Network Location Awareness

                         - PNRP Machine Name Publication Service
Under Local Area Network Status I've noticed that IPv4 shows connectivity to internet, but IPv6 says "No Internet Access" - disabling IPv6 has no effect
When I create a Windows Homegroup on one machine, an invite to join is never extended to the other.
I installed TeamViewer as alternative to Homegroup. After setup, the program claims to have a working connection, but any attempt to access the other gives an error.
Now, the name of my laptop will sometimes appear under Explorer>>Network, but clicking on it gives an error message (can't think what it says & the laptop isn't visible right now); while my laptop has never shown my desktop. However, if I hardline my laptop to the router, suddenly the two are best friends - connecting, accessing folders, swapping files, trading recipes, sharing steamy cups of Maxwellhouse International Cafe.
Does anybody have any insights into this situation? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I’ve wondered if perhaps there was some pre-installed Lenovo software that interferes with networks the way firewalls or anti-virus programs can? I've tried calling both Belkin and Lenovo tech support - played their little choose your own adventure games. Belkin's final word is that its a software issue. I'm at a complete loss.
I'm always asked for ipconfig and ping results at some point, so I'll go ahead and post them below. I've also found some errors in Administrative Events on both machines that may provide clues:
Dhcp-Client (both)   - The IP address lease 192.168.2.2 for the Network Card with network address 0x6CF049E337F0 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.2.1 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).
bowser (desktop)   -   The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer GLADOS that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{4F23028C-E9A3-47B6-94A5-025192E2DBE0}. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced.
BROWSER (laptop)   -   The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport .... The backup browser is stopping
I don't really know much about Windows services and events, but they sound like they could be related, and they're the only lead I have to work right now.

Just throwing this out there: I had a cash register which bafflingly refused to talk to other systems on the network, except for just a few minutes after it booted. The problem was cured by unchecking "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" in the Power Management tab of the Realtek ethernet card Device Manager Properties.
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

New Laptop -- wireless internet halfway working?

I just got my new HP Pavilion dv4t Entertainment PC and everything has worked fine up until I wanted to connect to the internet. I double clicked the connector thing in the bottom right corner and chose the appropriate wireless network and filled in the correct password.
So it now shows that I am connected to my network ("Home") and I have full bars, however when I proceed to click on IE and load a simple page like "http://www.myspace.com" it fails to work. It pretends it's going to work and gets about half way done loading the page (according to the status bar, anyway) and then just stops and the site never loads. However, when I type in google/yahoo.com those pages come up perfectly (and fast) and I can search their search engines. But when I search something like "avg anti-virus" and the search engine displays the results I try to click the first one and it does the same freezing thing it did when I tried to type in "http://www.myspace.com"
I'm using comcast internet, a netgear router, and all of my other computers have connected to the wireless internet without a problem (all the other computers run on XP, though...)

Hi, This happens to me as well. I turn on computer Outlook recieves emails no problem but I go to internet and nothing. It looks like it loads the page sasy 'done' in corner but I stare a white screen. errrhhh. The only way for me to get internet is to disconnect/connect 2-3 times in a row. One time never works. Every other laptop in hosue including my 8 year old gateway connect first time. I tried to explain to best buy and they say nothing is wrong?? Other thant that I love my new laptop.

Officejet J6450 will NOT connect to laptop wirelessly - PLEASE HELP...

Good afternoon,
I just spent almost two hours on the phone with a woman from the HP Tech Support team that I could barely understand (not exaggerating - would be wonderful to bring back customer service to the US - god knows we need some more jobs here!!). She had me do a number of things, none of which solved my problem - needless to say, it was a very frustrating two hours and now I am very frustrated!
My issue is that my laptop will not recognize the wireless Officejet J6450. I have Comcast broadband cable internet, a Linksys wireless router, an HP desktop, and a Dell laptop (laptop is from employer - I work from home). I loaded all of the software on my desktop first (connected via USB) and everything worked perfectly. I used the Network Setup Wizard on the printer and connected to my Linksys wireless router with no issue whatsoever (full signal strength). I printed a wireless netwok report - no problems were found - all diagnostic tests were a success. The ethernet adapter wireless network connection IP address on my laptop is 192.168.1.102 and the IP address of the printer is 192.168.1.103. So then I proceeded to load the software to my laptop for wireless connection - thinking all along how easy getting everything set up has been. I then loaded the software to the laptop and I got to the part where it asks what type of connection I want to set up. I chose wireless and it asked me to temporarily plug the laptop to the printer via USB cable. I did so and it began searching for my wireless network. I selected my wireless network and it began searching for my printer. This is were I hit the brick wall - it could not find my printer. I tried again - chose my network, tried to find the printer - no such luck.
I then did a Google search and checked these boards regarding alternative solutions. I tried installing through Windows printers (BTW - laptop is running XP SP2). Selected Local Printer, unchecked the automatically select box, chose standard TCP/IP, etc. - that didn't work either.
I consider myself fairly PC savvy and I am perplexed by this - just doesn't make any sense why the laptop won't detect the wireless printer.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance regarding my connectivity issue as I do NOT want to call HP Tech Support back.
One other thing, the Tech Support lady told me to reset the printer by turning it off and then having me press the pound button and the number 6 before turning it back on. Not sure why she had me do this, but it reset the ink cartridges and alignment and now the printer no longer reports how much ink is left. Any way to fix that?
Lastly, out of curiosity, why does HP recommend not leaving the wireless enabled on the printer when not using it? Doesn't make any sense to have to turn off wireless everytime after printing and then turn it back on when needing to print again.
Sorry for this long post - hopefully this is enough information for you to help me out.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Jeremy,
First, I have no idea why we are recommending turning off the printer's radio when you are not using it. The only thing I can image is that if you leave the radio on and in its default configuration (SSID = hpsetup, no security, Ad-Hoc), then you are susceptible to neighbors or war-drivers using your printer.
Next, you have an interesting problem. You've done everything I would have tried (check connectivity by browsing the printer's internal web page, turn off the firewall, try to manually add the printer).
I know you've disabled the firewall. I might recommend uninstalling the firewall temporarily, then installing the SW again to see if that works. Also, you might check to see that you don't have another firewall accidentally enabled (maybe the Windows firewall?).
Finally -- is there anything unusual about your wireless-router configuration? Have you set any port-forwarding or other advanced settings? BTW -- what model wireless-router are you running?
And of course there's a rather painful step to try that usually works: reinstall the OS on your laptop and then install the printer SW (I'm somewhat embarrassed to suggest this but it does seem to work).

Problem with printer and laptop wireless connectio...

Hi In the last 2 months we have found that the only way we can get the wireless printer and the laptop to connect to the wireless hub is by switching off the hub and restarting it. The printer will then print and the laptop connect to the internet but once either is switched off again the only way we can get the hub to 'talk' to them is by switching off the hub. I have been in touch with BT advisors this morning but not really got anywhere. The chap was going to change the BT frequency but we have a Hub 3 so I don't think this is relevant. Apparently we have got a good broadband speed. I am not technical in any way but logic dictates it must be a hub problem. Has anyone had similar problems - or any ideas. The main tower PC has not had problems so far but we have noticed that short videos have been so slow that at times they freeze. Again this is very recent. Many thanks.

Hi Bob - not sure where Neener went nor if his issue was sorted out, but I'm stuck in the same place. The manual for the printer tells me to select a WLAN network and put the printer in SES/WPS/AAOS mode - which I did. Then it, in theory, went looking wirelessly for my Airporter Extreme. It thought for 3 minutes and then came back with "No Access Point". The AE is working fine, but the printer can't find it.
And another weird issue is that when I installed the drivers from the CD that came with the printer, it doesn't show up anywhere on my computer - nor does it show up as an option to add the printer. It's just non-existent.
Here are the details....
Printer: Brother HL-3070cl
MacbookPro: 10.6.7
Router: Airport Extreme
Wireless mode: Create a wireless network
Wireless security: WPA2 Personal (is that ok even if this is for a business?)
Connect using: ethernet
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
Any help you can offer me would be SO appreciated. I'm pulling my hair out and have been trying to figure this out for nearly 2 hours now!!
THanks,

ISE 1.3 laptop wireless connection issue & apple devices

hi all,
i am configuring ISE 1.3 with wireless lan controller 2504 with 7.4.121 version.
i am using EAP-tls method of authentication . my certificate server everything working fine. i have one issue which is that i am trying to connect from my laptop i am getting the following error
"The server "ISE.example.local" presented a valid certificate issued by "DC-CA", but "DC-CA" is not configured as a valid trust anchor for this profile. Further, the server "ISE.example.local" is not configured as a valid NPS server to connect to for this profile"
but still i am able to connect and my profiling is working fine, but other laptops when i try to connect i am not getting any this kind of error . it directly says connection cannot connect.
is this problem of certificate on the ISE or the laptop issue , the laptops are not in domain.
even in the apple devices also when we put AD authentication it is accepting after that when we open the browser it is not going to the guest portal it saying some apple captiva portal some thing like that.
please let me know anybody faced this issue?? what is the cause and solution.

Dear, Freerk.
Thank you for your information.
I'd like to try captive bypass function then look at the traffic flow to understand very well, however, it looks like required reboot the controller.
ours is not able to do rebooting process so that, only the choice will be I must search testing result by my self... if you have a result from your lab, could you share with me?
Result message after enable captive bypassing configuration.
(Cisco Controller) config>network web-auth captive-bypass enable
Web-auth support for Captive-Bypass will be enabled.
You must reset system for this setting to take effect.

Wrt54g laptop wireless modem connected to router but will not access in any browsers.

I started a friends laptop at my house put in the security key and it connected to my network with excellent strength. When I opened IE or Safari it said unable to access page not connected to the internet.
I went into the properties of the wireless modem and checked to see if it matched my wireless laptop. It was slightly different with not all the same options. I changed something and now I can not get it to connect at all.
I hooked the friends laptop to my lan line and it works perfectly of course, so I know it has to be in the settings.
Any answers to the first problem of browsers not connecting, And anyway you can help me get the friends laptop settings back to where they were?
Thanks

Connect a computer to the Router, Open the Setuppage by 192.168.1.1 , password "admin"
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode
should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID
broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>
Now Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security" Change the
Wireless security mode to "WEP"...and put a 10 digit key in key1 and keep a note of the key and click save settings ...
Then on your laptop try to connect to the netwok with the key.

Loss of laptop wireless connection when wired desktop connects

I haven't had this problem when i first bought the router but recently if my desktop is connected by a wired connection I am either unable to connect wirelessly via laptop, or if I am already connected, will be disconnected. Can anyone help please??? Thank you

Are you using any fixed LAN IP addresses on your network? If so, list all the fixed LAN IP addresses that you use. Also, if you are not using the default DHCP server range of 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 , then please state your DHCP server range.
