Need help adding second laptop to network

Please help. I am so frustrated. I setup our new gateway wirelessly using the WRT160N router. Had to call the help line and they helped me go online and configure the router settings. Now I am trying to add a second older laptop (HP Pavilion ZE4400). When I use the disc to install the router info, it stops after it says waiting for the router. Then I get an error message telling me to restore the router to it's default settings. I don't want to undo all that I did with support on the phone. It took forever. Why can I not install the router software on the HP? Can someone help me fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

If your router is already configured then,do not run the CD on the computer to connect the Wireless Network...Make sure that wi-fi switch is turn ON.
For XP...Click on Start and goto the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, Right click on the Wireless Network Connection and click on View Available Wireless Networks and select your Wireless Network and click Connect...Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/wep key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...It will connect.
For Vista...Click Start >> Control Panel >> Network and Sharing Center >>Click on Connect to a Network and select your Wireless Network and click Connect, it should ask for your Network Key/Password, enter the correct password/network key and click Connect...It should connect...Once you are connected you should restart the computer, it should connect to Internet...

Need help adding 2nd laptop to router WRT160N

I need to add another laptop to our home network so it can connect to our internet connection. The 2nd laptop shows our home network as an available network connection, however, when I try to connect and enter in the key, the computer gives me a message "please wait while windows connects to the xxxxxx network- waiting for the network" This message stays for approximately 45 seconds then disappears, leaving me at the wireless network connection screen. I have confirmed the network key is correct.
I can connect to the internet if I choose an unsecure connection so I am wondering what other items I need to configure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, those sound like they should be compatible security modes.
What I'd suggest is to reboot your second laptop and power-cycle the router, see if that helps you to be able to connect both laptops.
If that doesn't help, then write down any configuration data that you'll need to re-enter after resetting the router. There's a recessed reset switch on the back of your router, hold that in for about 30 seconds and release it. This will set the router back to factory defaults, so you'll need to re-enter your configuration data using the router web GUI. Then try again to reconnect with both laptops, and see what happens. Please post the results from trying these.

Help adding second Wi-Fi network on same AP

I am looking for assistance in trying to setup a second wireless network so we would have two SSID’s (one for public and one for private users).
Our network is setup with native VLAN1 for wired computers and VLAN107 for wireless computers and everything is working great. I’m trying to add VLAN110 as the additional wireless network.
We are using a Cisco WLC2112 and 12 Cisco LAP1131 access points for the wireless network.
The wired network us using Cisco 3500 series POE switches and a Cisco 1800 series router.
The ports on the switch that connect to the AP’s are configured as follows:
switchport access vlan 107
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
I’m having trouble getting my head around how to setup the second wireless network on its own VLAN (VLAN110), while still using the existing access points. I have added the additional wireless network on the WLC2112, have setup a DHCP server for the new VLAN, but it’s getting an IP address from the same scope as VLAN107.
Where do I configure the new VLAN information on the wireless controller?
Should the ports on the switch that are connected to the AP’s be changed to trunk ports to accommodate both VLANs?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

HI Mark,
1.You need to create a dynamic interface on WLC.
Controller>Interface> click on New, enter interface(e.g. private) and Vlan ID:110 and apply.
Interface >edit page will appears, then u can enter network , mask and DHCP server address...etc.
2. Now you need to create a WLAN.
WLAN> create New, enter profile name , ssid and Wlan ID here then clcik on apply WLAN>edit page will appear.
Staus should be enable
Choose the right dynamic interface , which we created in step 1.
Chosse specifiy Security and other feature.
3.Configure swicth port for vlan 107 , 110 where WLC is connected.
I hope AP are in same network as your Management interafce of WLC.
Regards

Problems adding second laptop to network

Hi,
I just bought a Linksys WRT54GS router and followed the setup instructions to get my first laptop up and running wirelessly. I had to use the linksysfix.com site, but everything works great. Now I want to add another laptop. I go to the linksysfix.com site and run the easylink connect and select the option to add another computer. It instructs me to connect the second laptop to the router using a second ethernet cable. The trouble is, I have no internet connection through the cable. Do I need to run the installation disk for the router on this computer too? The second laptop will connect fine to a different LAN.

You should also check your notebook's TCP settings. It may have been set to manual parameters which may not be compatible with your WRT54GS.

Need help adding PC to my network

I have a POS Dell Dimension PC and I'd like to (at the very least) be able to have it and my Powerbook online at the same time. My Powerbook (and other Macs in the house) are connected wirelessly to our Cable Modem via an older Airport Extreme (Dome Shaped) base station. What are my options to hook the PC up to the network via Ethernet, as I don't believe there's a wireless card in it.

Thank you. Turns out I didn't have the right drivers, but I was able to download them on my Mac, burn a CD and move them over. Now I just need to figure out how to access the PC over the network.

NEED HELP TO SET UP SMALL NETWORK - WIRELESS SIGNAL FROM NOVATEL U760 USB

Hello -
I need help setting up a small network in my new home in Florida, which has no wired broadband capability - not cable, not dsl. My options are satellite (which I'd like to avoid) or wireless broadband via Millenicom (or now Virgin Mobile) using their Novatel U760 USB stick.
Here are the network components - someone please tell me how to set this up:
PC #1 (has wireless card, but I've connected it by ethernet to the router)
PC #2 (no wireless card; connected via ethernet to router)
MACBOOK, 1 1/2 years old (2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs RAM), running OS 10.58, connected wirelessly to router.
AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION, Model A1143.
I'm not thrilled about using a wireless 3G signal as my primary one, (sprint network, claims 600 - 1400 kbps speed), but it costs 1/2 to 1/3 of what a slightly faster satellite signal would.
I have not ordered this service yet. Before I do, I'd like a clear understanding that I can, in fact, set up my simple network, which I'd probably do the same as it's now configured with cable broadband - both PC's plug via
ethernet into the Airport Extreme router, the MacBook connects wirelessly - AND,
my question is this:
Can I plug the wireless card - a Novatel U760 USB-stick device - straight into that USB slot in the Airport Extreme base station and will it automatically recognize that device?
Or, do I have to plug it into the MacBook and somehow share that wireless signal between the 2 PC's (only 1 of which has a wireless card, so I'd have to get a card for PC #2)?
And help anyone can provide will be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Em

from the Airport FAQ #14:
"Question: Can I connect my Soundsticks or other USB speakers to AirPort Express?
Answer: No. The USB port is for connecting a printer, not for other devices."
Im assuming other devices include USB modems.
So, I would say your cheaper route would be to get a second wireless card and just share your internet connection from one of your PC.

Need help adding schedule to xcode 4

I need help adding a tour schedule for an iphone app building an app for 13 djs and they want thier tour schedules added these need to be updated monthly is there a way to add this????

I don't know if this is the easiest way but it works for me. I connect the DVD player to my camcorder (so it's the 3 plugs yellow/red/white on one end and a single jack into the camera). Then I connect my camcorder to the computer (I think it's through a firewire port). Then I just play the DVD and the footage is digitized via the camcorder and I import it into iMovie 4 as it's playing. I believe the camcorder is just in VCR mode.
I have also used this method to transfer VHS tapes onto DVDs via the camera by connecting the VCR to the camera.
I haven't had much luck with movies over about 40 minutes on iMovie. But if it's home movies, there may be a logical break. Do maybe 20 minute segments (it's also really easy on iMovie to add a soundtrack if these are OLD films with no sound.
As you can see, I'm low tech!
Good luck!

Need help adding device to Canon ELPH 320 HS

I just bought a Canon ELPH 320 HS. I am having trouble adding my laptop as a device. I have Windows 8, and I downloaded what I thought was the windows 8 compatible version of Canon Picture Window. All of the settings in my control panel seem to be correct as far as media sharing, etc.
Here are the steps I've been taking. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong.
I touch the internet icon
Then the computer icon
Click Add a device
Our wireless connection shows up, so I select that, I enter our network password and
then my laptop shows up and I select that.
And at this point it says connected to Kelly's Laptop, and has that spinning circle. It takes forever to connect. And then I get a communication error/connection failed error.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong! Thanks!! The wifi was one of the main reasons why I bought this camera. It will be a huge disappointment if it doesn't work.

Hi kelly1010!
The instructions for setting this up also mention needing to make some changes to the Windows Firewall settings. Certain ICMP Inbound Echo Requests and UPnP services must be enabled. You mentioned you have been through the necessary Control Panel options already. Did you also enable these in the Windows Firewall settings?

Need help connecting to BEFW11S4 wireless network

A friend I visit often has a BEFW11S4 router. Other friends who visit connect immediately to the unsecured wireless network. Unfortunately, for unknown reasons I'm unable to connect with either of my laptops, so have to plug in the LAN. This is the only place I've ever had a problem connecting to a wireless network.
My laptops are Toshiba Satellites, running Windows XP Home & Office, respectively. Sometimes they won't even recognize the network, or when they do, just won't connect. I've gone through the tutorial and all settings numerous times, turned off the firewall, turned off Norton and still no luck. Any help getting me connected is appreciated. Thanks.

In your 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". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Delete any existing entry for your friend's network. Reboot your computer. Return to "Preferred Networks" and add your friends SSID. Then select this SSID 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. You should login automatically when computer boots up.
Hope this helps.

I have a godaddy website with a welcome page- I need help adding a few additional pages with a hyperlink to my welcome page.

I need help attaching a few hyperlinks my godaddy welcome page. I have 2 more ipages articles, I also converted them to pdf. Godaddy only helped (last year) with the 1st article. I do not know how to attach a hyperlink to the artlcles and add the hyperlinks to my welcome page.

The program is called Pages not iPages. Just let us know if you do not speak English and what language you do speak so we can adjust for that.
The issues are to do with your web page not with Pages.
I think you are asking how to link from your web page to your pdf articles. You must first copy those pdfs to your web server, or some other web location, and then provide html links on your welcome page to those pdf files.
The pdfs themselves may contain links to other locations but I can not see that that is what you are asking for.
Nor to what those links would be to.
From your heading I think you may have confused the name of Pages, the word processing program, with web pages which are two different things.

I need help with a laptop

where should i start....Windows update had to iinstall 165 updates, so i let it, then the next day, i reinstalled windows thimking it would fix the problem, it made another one, i looked at os:C and it said 25gb in use, i was like ok, let me delete windows.old,

I suggest you to try scanning the HDD for any errors using Seagate SeaTools from here (works with non-Seagate HDDs also):
http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/item/seatools-dos-master/
If there is no issue with the HDD, you can proceed with installation of Windows. If not, contact the PC manufacturer support or the HDD manufacturer support (if bought separetly) and ask for a replacement. If warranty is present, the replacement will be
made free of cost.

Need help with second hard drive on mac G4

I recently took apart another computer and installed the hard drive on top of the "master" drive hoping I would be able to download more videos, music ect but when i try and download anything message pops outs that my disk is almost full i need help as you can see. I thought all i had to do was connect the drive but I guess that wasn't it.

chuck818, welcome to Apple Discussions.
What size is your Master HD & how much free space do you have? Are you getting messages about the HD being full?
Insufficient HD space can lead to many problems - freezes, directory/file corruption, etc.
