Macbook Windows wireless connectivity issue

It happed that the mac book I was connected to he Linksys wireless router and at the same time i turned on the windows machine and it just didnt get an IP. I did all sorts of troubleshooting issues on the windows machine. Nothing worked. All of a sudden I thought is the mac connectivity giving some issue so i turned off the macbook airport off and immediatly after that the windows machie got an IP.
What could be the problem ??

if you set it to the most compatible with the least common denominator you should be able to connect with both. (If that's what I understand you are trying to achieve).

HP Officejet 6500, Windows XP and 7, wireless LAN security code is not accepted

The security code of my wireless LAN is not accepted by the HP6500A. According to the diagnostic software of HP a code consisting of more than 50 characters is required (the total number of characters can not be identified because the code isgoing on out of the window). The security code of the route consists of 12 characters. Resetting the printer is not solving the problem.
This problem was identified after rinstalling the software after problems with printing: connection with the printer was identified; message: "busy with printing", but no printing result at all.

Security codes can be in ASCII or HEX. I'm guessing that the diagnostics is reporting HEX and the printer entry is in ASCII.
You can try running the diagnostics SW on the Windows 7 computer. It might return the key in ASCII.
A good option is to get the password from somewhere other than the diagnostics. Maybe you stored it somewhere or wrote it down? Once you get it try to enter from the front panel.
Can I get a little information from you?
What router brand model?
What security mode are you using (WEP, WPA, WPA2)?
Which model of the 6500 do you have (6500 or 6500a)?

Lenovo Yoga 13 Downgrade to Windows 7 Wireless Lan Driver & USB3.0 Driver

Hey guys,
I have purchased the Yoga 13 in U.A.E in last Feb. with AED4,999.00
But some programms does not work with Windows 8. So I am using Windows7 with multi-boot.
Guess you guys also have such problem.. eventually finding out the WIFI Driver & USB3.0 Driver.
Now, I have succeeded in installing both of them.
1. Wireless Lan Driver : Realtek RTL8723A Wireless LAN 802.11n USB 2.0 Network Adapter.
   The way I found this driver is... Download all the REALTEK driver in a designated folder.. of course uncompressed.
   And then using the contraol panel... updated the driver with the designated folder.
   Now it is working very well.
2. USB3.0 Driver
It was an easy game. I just have downloaded thee Intel USB3.0 Driver for Windows7... you could find it through google with easy.
And just installed it. It works very well.
=> You could download the file at http://me2.do/xKBVnWo3
      (just put password : 4321 )
If you guys have problem with above issues... or need the file let me know with my mail at xxxxxxxxxxx
Anyhow, there are still two drivers I couldn't find.

hi jerrybong,
Thank you for Sharing this,
This will really Help most of Yoga 13 users and Windows 7 fans,
Kudos for this!
Can you also let us know what are drivers you're still missing? Can you post the Hardware ID of those maybe we can help,
Thanks and Regards

Windows 8 and Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC

Hi!
I hava a Toshiba L650 - 107 PSKI JE and I am having a problem with the my wireless network adapter on windows 8.
My network adapter is Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC and works fine on windows 7. Two days ago I formatted my hard drive and install windows 8. The problem is that for much drivers I keep installing, The wireless keep turned off. There's no way I can move the slide from off to on.
I already tried a lot of drivers from toshiba and from realtek but doesn't work.
I went to see the Network Connections (Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections) and the Ethernet is fine, I connect a cable and it is fine, but wi-fi says "Not connected".
How do I solve this problem?

Satellite L650-107 (PSK1JE-00P003EP)
Downloads here.
A computer from Portugal? (Specifications attached.)
This driver should work on Windows 8.
Realtek Wireless LAN Driver
But your problems may be more fundamental. Prior to loading Toshiba-specific programs, you probably need to install something like this.
Toshiba System Driver - Windows 8 beta
And for the function keys to work, you'll need still another Toshiba utility.

hi khan2000,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Can you post here the Hardware Id of the Wireless Device
     - In device manager Wifi device should show like Network controller with a yellow Icon.
                -Right-click on it and choose properties.
                -Click on the details tab on top
                -Change the property Value, change it to Hardware ID

Integrate Wireless LAN Controller with Windows IAS

I would like to have internal users authenticate to Wireless LAN Controller Module using Windows IAS server. What option are there for me to present to users? Do they get a separate domain username/password box? Can it pass thru their existing domain login credentials if they already logged into Windows domain? Does any additional client/laptop software need to be installed?

What you should do is configure PEAP and use the IAS so users can authenticate with their AD credentials.
This should help you:

Windows xp on te2000 cant detect wireless lan card

I have a te2000 laptop the wireless lan card is detected as PCMCIA MTD-0002.
I downloaded the drivers but even after I install windows wont use it. I get error code 10.
How do I make it work ?
The wireless port is enabled but it has an orange light (not green) any ideas why ?
Thanks in advance
Ken.

Thnks Joao for the response.
I downloaded the drivers here but even if I install them Windows doesnt let me use it and there is the yellow question mark in device manger & status is T'his device cannot start. (Code 10)'
If I remove the driver and let windows search for it manually it doesnt get it, so it installs it as pcmcia-mtd-0002.
How do I tell if it's Orinoco or not ?
At the bottom the wireless lan has a number 00022d 366fed if that is any help.
Notice hot the timestamps on this board are off :)
Cheers
Ken.

X130e wireless lan upgrade to windows 8.1 broken

Anyone have any luck upgrading the x130e to windows 8.1 ? I am unable to turn the wireless on, the device manager shows that the 1x1 b/g/n wireless lan pci driver is installed correctly. All else upgraded except the WLAN.

Hi,
For this issue,since you did a update,I suggest you
use system restore to return to the point which did
not appear the problem.

Weird lost access to iMac's desktop via Airport Extreme wireless LAN

This is weird and complicated. I'll try to keep it simple.
1. Two computers on a wireless LAN via Airport Extreme: G4 Powerbook and 20" G5 iMac. The LAN has worked flawlessly and seamlessly for several years, and except for this ONE anomaly, still does.
2. When logged-in to the iMac from the Powerbook, all its files and contents show up normally in it's networked-drive window in Finder,
3. EXCEPT the desktop. And I mean the real desktop which is under my ID under USERS.
4. Searching the Powerbook from the iMac, however, works just fine and shows all of the Powerbook's contents.
Repairs of Permissions on both computers have accomplished nothing.
There is one other peculiar symptom: there was a .wmv movie file sent me by a friend, and I had a copy of it on the desktops of both computers. It sat there, showed up and ran just fine, until one day something curious happened:
The file would show up in the column-view Finder window of the iMac's desktop when I opened it from the Finder Window, but would, after about a second, disappear!
If I try to import, on the Powerbook, some random file into the iMac's Desktop folder, it appears for a brief second and then the folder once again displays as empty.
I have trashed that wmv file, and yet sometimes its name blinks up on the iMac's desktop list (that is, again, the column view display in the Finder window).
This is profoundly weird.
Oh, and there's nothing changed or weird about the SHARING settings. Personal File Sharing is enabled on both computers, as is Printer Sharing, and itunes music sharing is also enabled. All of these continue to work just fine. Firewall is enabled, but always has been.
Owen

Well, when in doubt try all the obvious things FIRST!
I rank Disk Utility from the install disk, did a disk repair, and, well, Bob's your uncle, and all is fine again. Apparently that ghost file screwed up the count of files (I'm not sure what that means, but it seems consistent with a file that would materialize and then disappear, and screw up display of a folder's contents - the folder it was lurking-in invisibly.
Very peculiar, none the less.
Owen
I'll leave this open for another day, if only to see if someone has an explanation for what may have happened, since that might be useful to others, besides satisfying my own curiosity.

Ipod break down wireless lan

Hello everybody,
i have a problem with my new iPod touch 4. I have a wireless network with 2 laptops and want to integrate my iPod. When I activate the wireless lan of my iPod and my laptop is on the net, everything is ok. If my laptop isn't on the net and I activate the iPod, the wireless lan breakdown. The Same presiture happens after while when both (iPod and Laptop) are on the net. The only thing what help, is to reboot the router and reset the networksettings of the iPod. Then when the Laptop is again on the net and I enter the wireless lan key for my network in the iPod I am again on with my iPod. But Apps and Music I can't download with my iPod. If I want to do that, I only get the load screen. The samething happens when my Apps want to log in the internet. But Safari works. On my Laptop I have Windows Vista. My Router is a T-Sinus 111 DSL. Has anybody a idea how I can get a firm wireless lan connection on my iPod.
Thanks a lot for the Help

Can't somebody help me? Please I am really despaired

PCI Card Slot - Wireless LAN Card Problems - Help!

Help.
I'm having problems getting my board to recognize both:
Linksys WMP11 Wireless LAN card; and
Netgear WG311T Wireless LAN card
(returned the Linksys card, but the Netgear card had the same problem).
Neither card is being picked up by Windows (XP Home), although both the "power" and "link" LED lights up when inserted. I've tried every PCI slot, same issue. Nothing shows up in the device manager, and no new hardware is detected. The Netgear software tells me that the card has not been installed.
Am left thinking I need to RMA the board. Any suggestions woudl be much appreciated.

My roommate has a similar setup as you and I am having the same problem getting a pci wifi card to work in the machine. I have tried both a Linksys WMP54G and a Netgear WG311. Both cards will scan for networks bit will never connect my router (Linksys WRT54G). Just to get them to recognise the network, I have to turn off WEP, and turn on ESSID broadcast. Both of these cards work prefect in other computers. I know it not a signal problem because I can take my laptop and set it in the same location and it gets excellent signal.
I have tried changing slots in the machine, the wifi cards were the only PCI cards in the machine and an GeForce 6800 GT in the AGP slot. I have no idea what the problem could be. But I'm leaning towards the mobo at this point.

Domain Logon fails using wireless LAN

Hi Sir,
I am setting up an ACS server to authenticate the wireless LAN users using PEAP MS-CHAPv2for one of my existing customer. They need to login to domain whenever they need to access to the network
On the wireless client's end, the OS is Xp and the client will use Windows XP wireless zero configuration. I have put in the necessary setting in order for it to support PEAP. I managed to get authenticated by checking against the passed authentications log found in the ACS.
However, the problem happens when I tried to reboot the desktop and Domain Logon appears, I was not able to logon to the Domain. I think I know the cause of the problem. It was because the wireless card is not authencated yet prior to the Domain logon screen.
How can I connect to the wireless network prior to the appearance of the Domain logon windows. There is no options for me to try in the XP wireless zero configuration to activate the wireless LAN before the Domain Logon windows comes out.
Thank you.
Delon

Even if still it does not work, ensure the following:
1) Change the logon credentials for the ACS services to use a domain administrator account. Often times the local member server administrator account does not have any rights on the AD.
a. Ensure the ACS services start with the Domain Administrator account.
b. Ensure you are able to log in to the server using this Domain Administrator account .
c. Ensure the Domain Administrator account (or the account with which the services start) have privileges to log on locally, Log on as a service and Act as part of the operating system.
2) Ensure the FQDN of all domain controllers is added to the DNS names.
