Linksys & MBP setup issue

I can use my Linksys & MBP wirelessly. The problem is I cant connect to the network with security enabled on the router. I have tried 128 bit WEP. Not sure what to do? Anyone with ideas?

What did you do?! I am having a huge problem with connecting. I have called both Linksys and Apple, and it is getting me nowhere. I used the WEP security for a while, and I have a full router signal and airport is connected to the network and connected to the internet. When I try to load Safari, it won't let me get online (I used the $ sign tip)! I changed to WPA as a result of the forum suggestion, and then I still couldn't get on - it wouldn't even connect to the network. I'm totally lost and I just want to use wireless. I can if I connect directly, and the PC that is hardwired throught the WRT54G is fine, and I have used wireless just down the road at a hotspot. Does ANYONE know how I can get help with this?

Linksys WRT54GS setup issues

Good day all and sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.
I recently bought a computer off of a friend which came with a WRT54GS router, which I am having issues setting it up.
I have the setup disc version 6.0. I get to about step 8 and I am asked for a password, whichIi never set up. I have seen on here a few places that suggest the default is admin, but I am not sure if that is for a secure log in or the set up. Any rate, admin doesn't seem to work. I have looked elsewhere on the forum and found that i can hold the reset I can default the router's factory settings, but this doesn't help either. If it is useful,I have also cleaned the drives and installed a new OS (WXP), so I don't believe it is any lingering PC password type of issue. This is my first rodeo with a wireless setup, so any info that you all may have would be most helpful. Thanks!

You don't have to use the CD to set up the router. Just configure it manually. Follow these links for instructions, depending on your Internet Service Provider:

Linksys wrt54g setup issue

hello all,
ive recently setup a cisco modem with a linksys wrt54g i had lying around for a friend. i enabled the security (WPA/WPA2) and changed the name for the wireless connection. I restart every thing and i see the new name wireless secured connection but unfortunately a while later i see that the original unprotected 'linksys' access point still available. ive tried resetting the router and doing the process over a couple times. first by enabling the password and then changing the name and vice versa but i always see the unprotected access point show up again and again and its driving me crazy. i know its my router as well because when i disable the router both connections are lost. so basically my router is showing 2 names.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

Did you try removing the entire preferred network from the preferred list? If not then try to remove the entire preferred network from the list and then check it still shows the default network of the router “Linksys” or not. Here is the link for removing the preferred wireless network from the list:

Adding Airport Express to working G5 Linksys WRG setup for music...issues

Problem: G5 is "connecting" to wireless linksys network but no longer getting IP address (nor connecting to network to configure AX and itunes doesn't see remote speakers) Using DHCP, can see Mac addresses on Linksys web configure screens.
It worked fine prior to adding AX. I had the G5 connecting to Linksys Network WRG wireless router accesspoint through to DSL modem. This has worked fine for months. Also connect to this network with WinPC. All using WPA Personal security password.
CD Player died, so I purchased the Airport Express to play music to my stereo.
I did get the Airport Express configured...although many tries. I had to turn on broadcast of network name or SID in the Linksys webconfig. Music did play from G5 but I somehow lost the ability to connect to internet. Firefox gave "cannot connect" message. (Safari Network Diagnostics cannot fix issue) When I stopped and restarted the Airport(on G5) the music quit playing. Still have green light on Express. WinPC still works fine as well, HOWEVER:
G5 says that either(depending on which Im trying) that Airport is connected to "wireless network name" but doesn't have ip address OR that ethernet is connected but doesn't have ip address. I see on linksys that the mac addresses are "on". I've restarted everything, I've trashed the sys config folder and restarted G5...still same issue. Again WinPc works fine. Using DHCP...
Any ideas on how to get my G5 back on network? and then I can try to have the AX work again.
No tunes, and now no internet...help?
This is posted on IMAC G5 forum but it was suggested I post here for Express expertise. THANKS.

I would suggest getting your Internet connection back first, and then, adding the AX for streaming iTunes.
Try the following...
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)

Connect your G5 directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN ports of the Linksys router. Can you access the Internet now?

WRT310N Setup issues after firmware update and factory reset

Hi Everyone,
I recently updated my firmware to v2 on my WRT310N and found that I could no longer connect my PC to my router. Whenever I run the setup software that came with the router it goes through all the steps but errors out when it looks for the router. I think the error number I am getting is 322.
I tried to reset the router to the factory defaults, but I am still having the same issues.
When I plug my Cable modem directly into my PC I have no issues and have full internet connectivity. I have tried to navigate manually to the 192.168.1.1 to do a manual setup of the router but I can't get to the router main page.
I'm running windows XP SP3 and I had no issues up until I did the firmware upgrade. I can't think of what I am doing wrong and am stuck.
Any thoughts?

Make sure that the cable modem is connected to the Internet port of the router. Your computer should be connected to one of the 4 Ethernet ports on the router. If your computer is connected to the port 1 of the router then port 1 light on the router will lit up. Also make sure that the Power light on the router is steady and not flashing. If the power light on the router is flashing then try to reset and power cycle the router again.
Once the power light on the router is steady then check the IP address of the computer.
Go to Start >> Click Run >> Type cmd and click Ok. You will get the command prompt window opened. In the command prompt type ipconfig and hit Enter on your keyboard. You will see the IP address of your computer. The IP address of the computer will be like 192.168.1.xxx and Default gateway will be 192.168.1.1.
Now open the Internet browser and in the address bar type the number 192.168.1.1.
It will ask you to enter the User name and password for the router. Leave the user name blank and in the password type admin. It will open the Linksys router setup page.
Under the setup tab you will find Mac address Clone sub-tab. Enable the MAC addres clone and click on the button Clone my PC's MAC. Save the changes. Try to access the Internet on your main computer.
If not able to access the Internet then unplug the power cable to the router and modem. Plug in the power to the modem first. Wait for a minute and then plug in the power to the router. Try to access the Internet.
Once your main computer is able to go on line then you can change the wireless settings of the router.

This is a workaround for the MBP wireless issue

There have been many topics on the MBP wireless issues already, but I thought some people might find this workaround helpful.
Firstly, my system is a 2.2Ghz MBP, running 10.4.10, and also airport extreme update 2007-04. I am using an airport express base station. My previous Powerbook never had any wireless problems, so I really couldn't blame the basestation for the MBPs poor wireless.
Warning - The workaround requires a little bit of work in the terminal. A little bit of understanding of how networks work is assumed here as well. So it is probably not for everyone ...
What I have observed - whenever the MBP loses connection, the airport basestation IP and MAC addresses are missing from the ARP table.
- To view the ARP table, type (in a terminal window) arp -a.
So, when the MBP wireless hangs, open up the terminal and type that in.
Do a Cntrl-C if the arp command is hanging and not returning anything.
In normal situations, a list of IP addresses and MAC addresses will show up.
As others have already noted, clicking on the airport icon in the menubar, will magically bring the wireless back to life. When this happens, the ARP table also gets magically populated correctly. Coincidence? I think not!
So, the workaround is to store a PERMANENT entry in the ARP table for the airport basestation IP and MAC address. In my case, I can use the Airport Utility software to confirm what the basestation IP and MAC addresses are (note MAC address = Airport ID in Airport Utility). I found the basestation IP=10.0.1.1 and the MAC=0:11:24:07:d7:f
To create a permanent ARP table entry for my airport basestation, I opened up a terminal window, and did the following -
1) login to my administrator account
2) type in the following command sudo arp -s 10.0.1.1 0:11:24:7:d7:f
3) type in my administrator password to authorise the change
4) type in (to confirm the changes have been made) arp -a
5) logout of my administrator account (from the terminal)
Ever since I did this, my MBP wireless performance has been flawless.
Note, if you shutdown or restart your computer, the arp entry disappears. This is ok for me as I hardly ever power down my MBP. As insurance I have added an account startup item to remind me to do the arp table entry.
This workaround is great for me because I don't have a need to use multiple wireless networks. It might not be practical for people who roam around onto different networks.
Give it a go and see if it works for you.

OK, after some further experimenting, I changed the multicast rate on my airport express. It was set at 6Mbps, and I changed it to 2Mbps.
I have read that the default multicast rate for previous 802.11g versions of Airport basestations is actually 2mbps. Excellent results so far !! I have set up a terminal command to continuously ping my airport router address every 15 sec, and there have been virtually no dropped packets so far over many hours.
ping -i 15 10.0.1.1
Interestingly, in Apple's Airport Admin software in my MBP there is no option to set the rate at less than 6Mbps (!!!!), so I had to use the Windows XP version of Airport admin software to make this change using a windows machine. Using the XP software you can set the muticast rate as low as 1Mbps.
If you are using Apples airport admin software (Tiger and Leopard) and you commit any sort of change in settings, the multicast rate will be re-set at a minimum of 6Mbps. My understanding of the multicast rate is that setting it too high is similar to shrinking the coverage area of the basestation, and limiting access only to clients who can transmit at the required multicast rate.
So my new theory is that the dropouts are caused by the MBP dropping off the airport due to not being able to achieve the set multicast rate. (this could be due to factors such as low signal strength, excessive interference or noise).
If you are using Apples more recent Airport admin software, you are having a minimum 6mbps muticast rate set, and this might be too high for your particular environment.
Just a theory.
(oh yeah, I enabled interference robustness on the MBP and the basestation just for good measure)

Setup issue in oracle projects - classifications link(standard link) is missing in oracle projects page

Hi Team,
I have a setup issue in oracle projects
I am unable to find the classifications link in oracle projects page.
Navigation : Go to any projects responsibility-->search for the projects-->click on project -->click on setup Tab : At the bottom of the page, we can see some standard links along with UDA's.
Here one standard link Classifications is missing.
Can anybody guide me what setup we need to do get the link.
Thank you.

Hi,
The classifications link is not appearing in your Project's Setup page because, Classifications must have been unchecked in the Project template from which your project has been created. You can find the Project template information by clicking on the Additional Information link in the same Project -setup page. Once you check the classification flag in the concerned Project Template, all future Project creations made out of this template would have the link enabled.
But for the current project, classification link cannot be enabled.
Rgds,
Shan

Odd speed dial setup issue

I am getting an odd speed dial setup issue. Here are the steps:
1. Open speed dial setup screen
2. Tap an open slot
3. Search for a contact using the keyboard
4. Click on the contact to select it
If I do it that way, I am taken back to the speed dial setup screen, but the contact is NOT added to the slot.
On the other hand, if in step #3, I just scroll down the list of contacts and select a contact, it works just fine. Seems to be an issue with the search function. Anyone else have this problem?
Android v2.2
System Version.2.3.15.MB810.Verizon.en.US

The steps that you are taking correct for setting up the speed dial. I have provided a link for additional information.

Linksys wrt54g setup????

hey,
i am having trouble getting my Linksys wrt54g v8 router set up with cable internet. since i can't use their setup disc, i am having to do it manually, but i am not sure what i am doing. i have tried to follow the instructions online, but i still can not get the Internet indicator to light up on the router. i really don't think this is an Airport problem (at least not yet), but i just can't connect the modem to the router.
i know how to access the router using an ethernet cable, but once i get to the Linksys setup in Safari i get lost. i tried changing the IP address in the router setup and it says, Settings Saved, but then it kind of locks up. i press Close, but it won't let me go anywhere from there.
can somebody help me with this? i need detailed idiot proof instructions!
thanks!!!

HT1595 i can't see my apple tv on my screen? i'm not sure if this is an apple tv issue or a tv setup issue? (although it appears nothing has changed on my tv setup since the last time i used it?)

As far as the flashing question mark and globe icons are concerned, your computer had lost track of its startup volume and was searching through the possibilities. The globe icon indicates that it is looking for a network to start from and the question mark indicates that it is looking for an OS X volume. To fix this, if you haven't already, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and reselect your internal HD as the startup volume.
From what you have described, this issue does seem to have corrected itself, and the faster start up is what one would normally expect. I think that you have absolutely no reason to reinstall your system.

What MBP setup offers the best price per performace!!! I have my pick.

let me start by saying i have the stock 2.0 MBP setup. but looking at all the numbers i am wondering if its the best price per performace setup. im starting to doubt it. the 256 VRAM is getting mixed reviews for it performance gains over the 128. the rest can be optioned out on the 1.83. so here is my pick for best price per performance:
1.83
100 GB HD
2 GIGS of RAM. of course non apple ram to save $$$
$2299

The 256VRAM is important if you use dual displays. Say with Aperture on one and PS CS on the other

AWE Transaction Configuration Event Notification Setup issue

AWE Transaction Configuration > Event > Notification Setup issue
On Final Denial Event has Notifications Option set to "Requester" "Both".
The Email URL is redirecting to the correct Approval Component mentioned under Approval Component in On Final Denial Event
But the Worklist URL is redirecting to another Component unlike the email URL, it is sending to a different component.
Why the same notifications via the same Event (On Final Denial) have two different URL's??

Hi,
The worklist/notification component is defined on several places, where the "lowest" definition applies for the action being triggered.
1 AWE Transaction Configuration> Transaction Registry > Default Approval Component
2 AWE Transaction Configuration > Event
3 AWE Transaction Configuration > Event > Notification > Template Detail tab
Be aware that the Notification section in the Transaction Configuration shows 1 row in the grid, where more than 1 row can be defined. Click on the View all to expand the grid and see all notification defined for this event.
See if above configurations differ in menu, component, page ...

ICloud OS X email setup issue

Hi need some help with an iCloud email setup issue that doesn’t seem to have been covered by other posts or the Apple help factsheets.
Used my old mac.com Apple ID to set up an iCloud account which now shows as having my iMac as a linked device. To use iCloud Mail was prompted to create a new email address which I could do by turning on Mail in iCloud settings.
I signed into iCloud via my iMac and having deselected default options to use iCloud for Contacts etc arrived at the account page which has the various options on the RHS and my mac.com ID info on the left.
Ticked the Mail option on the RHS was asked to “choose an iCloud email address” underneath the box where you enter the chosen email address was a note saying “you cannot change your email address after creating it”. When I tried to set up the new iCloud email address got a prompt saying “you cannot change your email address after creating it”.
Help!

You need to know Comcast's settings for incoming and outgoing server when setting up your OSX Mail app. The info should be somewhere on Comcast's help web page.

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control.

My computer was rebuilt this week and I am in the process of setting up iTunes and have a weird setup issue. The music in my playlists plays but the same song doesn't play from the library. Initially, I opened ITunes while holding down Shift of control key.

Scratch the post above - the musics that plays in the playlist also plays in the library and that is because i forgot that i imported from the cd yesterday. Basically, I see the rest of my music, but it doesnt' play and tells me it can't locate the file though the location in 'perferences' points to the correct location. Getting iTunes to play after a new computer or rebuild is a headache.

Router setup issue, another linksys in close proximity

Hi, I'm having trouble setting up an older BEFW11S4 Wireless-B router. I used to have it working intermittently, it would always randomly drop out and sometimes take forever to reconnect. Tonight I couldn't even see the network anymore so I decided to reset the router and start over. The problem is that I live in a condo with numerous other networks, one is an unsecured default linksys network. When I go on line to make changes, it connects to the 'other' network. How do I connecto to my own router?
Thanks...
