Need some help trying to repair network connection.

Let me start this off by letting you folks know that I am in no way well-versed with any type of Networking or anything of the sort. A friend of mine set up my personal wireless network at my house. Ok, I'll try to keep this concise. I read through the FAQ and used a few of the troubleshooting guides, but to no avail. First, let me illustrate my home network. We have a PC downstairs that is directly connected to our modem (Westhill is the brand, I believe) and we use Verizon DSL. My wireless router (WRT54G v5) is connected to the internet through that modem. There is another PC upstairs (mine) that is connected to the internet using a wireless adapter (WMP54G) I also have a notebook that is connected to the internet using its internal Wifi... thing.
About a week ago, the internet stopped transmitting to our upstairs pc. We tried repairing the connection using windows and connecting to other surrounding (unsecured) wireless networks, and it would not connect. My notebook, however, can still connect to these outside networks, but not our personal, secured network. As far as I know, our wireless network has a WEP 128-bit encryption.
For the life of me, I CANNOT figure out how to fix this! When I bring up the Linksys Wireless Network monitor, the Link Information says that it "Cannot associate with the Access point", and sometimes will state that It CAN associate with the access point, but no internet can be found.
If you can help, or even point me in the right direction I would be eternally grateful!
FYI: The cables are all connected correctly and the Internet and WLAN lights on the router are all lit. Isn't that great?

Another piece of info that may help get some answers brewing: When we exhausted all measures known to us, we reset the router thinking that maybe that would help. It didn't though, it just made it worse and more confusing. Thanks again!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Need some help trying to generate thumbnail images from large Jpegs

    Hello,
    I have some ActionScript 3.0 code, created with Flex that
    will load a large JPEG image (say 3000x2000 pixels) that I'm trying
    to create a 100 pixel thumbnail. I have the code working where I
    generate the thumbnail, but it's not maintaining the aspect ratio
    of the original image. It's making it square, filling in white for
    the part that doesn't fit.
    I've tried just setting the height or width of the new
    image, but that doesnt render well, either.
    To see what I'm talking about, I made a screen shot, showing
    the before image, and the rendered as thumbnail image:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/taude/533544558/.
    Now, there's a few things important to note. I'm saving the
    thumbnail off as a JPEG. As you can see in my sample application,
    the original renders fine with the proper aspect ratio, it's when
    I'm copying the bytes off the bitmapdata object, where I need to
    specify a width and height, that the trouble starts. I've also
    tried using .contentHeight and .contentWidth and some division to
    manually specify a new bitmapdatasize, but these values seem to
    always have NaN.
    private function makeThumbnail():void{
    // create a thumbnail of 100x100 pixels of a large file
    // What I want to create is a a thumbnail with the longest
    size of the aspect
    // ratio to be 100 pixels.
    var img:Image = new Image();
    //Add this event listener because we cant copy the
    BitmapData from an
    /// image until it is loaded.
    img.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE,
    imageLoaded);
    img.width=100;
    img.height=100;
    img.scaleContent=true;
    img.visible = true;
    // This is the image we want to make a thumbnail of.
    img.load("file:///C:/T5.jpg");
    img.id = "testImage";
    this.addChildAt(img, 0);
    private function imageLoaded(event:Event):void
    // Grab the bitmap image from the Input Image and
    var bmd:BitmapData =
    getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(UIComponent(event.target));
    //Render the new thumbnail in the UI to see what it looks
    theImage.source = new Bitmap(bmd); //new Bitmap(bmd);
    public static function
    getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(component:UIComponent):BitmapData
    var bmd:BitmapData = new
    BitmapData(component.width,component.height );
    bmd.draw(component);
    return bmd;

    Dev is 10gR2 and Prod is earlier version of Oracle, 10gR1.
    The schema (or table(s)) export file created by Oracle Database Control in Oracle 10gR2 is not importable into 10gR1, by default.
    Workaround.
    Use the Schema (table(s) export wizard of in the Maintenance section
    of the Oracle Database Control in ver 10R2,
    but when you get to the end of the wizard (I recall Step 5),
    show the data pump export source PL/SQL code, cut and past to editor,
    and find the variable where you can set the Oracle database version
    to your prod database version,
    then run the script from the SQL Plus prompt in 10gR2 dev,
    and this creates an Oracle 10gR1 compatible data export file.
    Then go to Prod and run the schema (table(s)) import data wizard,
    and import the export file. You will have to option to move the data
    to another schema or tablespace if required.
    Just to not run into troubles, I use the same schema and tablespace name
    in both dev and prod.
    the variable you must modify in the 10gR2 datapump export script looks like
    h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'ExportTableToProdJob', version => 'COMPATIBLE');
    and you must change manually to
    h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'ExportTableToProdJob', version => '10.1.0.1');
    This creates a 10g1.0.1 or later compatible export data file.
    You must have read/write privileges to the folder were the export data file will be created, and imported from. (Oracle Directory Object)

  • Need some help trying to resolve some game crashes.

    Forgot to list OS in SIG.... anyway I am running XP pro.
     What I am getting is hard locks during some (not all) games (Farcry and Rise of Nations are the worst). Anyway I get a God awful high pitched squawk out of my speakers and the games hardlock my system and can only be corrected by resetting or killing power.
    Do you guys think the culprit is the soundcard, platform or the software itself?
    Are there known issues with any of my current hardware FIS2R?
    Ive got all the latest drivers for my hardway and my board bios is the most current 1.5 I think. One thing of note with the Audigy 2 I have not installed all the creative bloatware I kept it simple and just installed the drivers pretty much the same with my 9800 just the drivers and controll panel.
    My boot is pretty clean with just the ATI controll planel icon. bellsouth internet accelerator, volume controll, and the icon that keeps insisting I call MS to authorize my version of XP PRO for the 50th time (those people are gonna start avoiding my phone calls)

    I also had problems with my Athlon 64, similar to yours. Your problem is probably the sound card or the PSU (if the PSU is OK it should run, my Athlon 64 is very stable whatever I do with it after I took the Audigy 2 out (and I only have a +12 15A PSU)). So, my advice is take out the Audigy 2 ZS and use the onboard sound for now. If the problems persist, then it probably is the PSU and not the sound card. People with AMD Athlon 64 seem to run OK with something like Hercules GameSurround Fortissimo 3, so if you want better sound get that.
    PS: I good PSU is ENERMAX EG465P-VE(FM).

    HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try repairing permissions.Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
    And since you don't the original install disc, boot in Safe Mode to make sure the startup disk is ok.

    I need some help....
    Ive got a Linksys WRT54G v5 with two computers connecting to the internet through it. (both connect w/out incident, and the wireless is secured)
    One computer is connected to the router with an Ethernet wire -
    The other computer is connected to the router through its wireless adapter -
    What my goal was, was to network the two computers together and share things between them. I was ultimatley going for was the ability to connect from either machine, and control the other one (if Im correct, I would use Remote Desktop Connection?)
    Now ive read and tried some many things ranging from VPN, portforwards, so on and so....
    Can this type of network be created? Im I being to ambisious with my goals as far as some type of remoted control? Please help, im so lost...

    Remote control of a networked computer in your home? Why? Share the folders that hold information/data and leave it to that.
    I use a version of Symantec's PCAnywhere to remotely control a computer in my office from my home. That's because I live 7 miles away from my office. I get lazy, so remote control is my answer.

    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

    I need some help resizing my images on PS6. I am using a mac and have been trying to resize with same resolution and constaining proportions but for some reaseon the smaller resized image appears pizelated. Heres an image of before and after. The first image I use is a JPG 72dpi 1500px x1500px and I want to downsize it to 600x600px same res, but it keeps pixelating, this has never happened before. Any suggestions, thoughts?
    thanks!

    I wouldn't say pixelated; more like blurry.
    Like ConnectedCreative said, what steps are you using? Are you using "bicubic sharper" when resizing down?

    If the file was not originally from iTunes, you'll need to redownload it from it's original source or rerip it from the CD.  Files can sometimes go bad and become corrupted.  As to how or why that happens, there are a number of ways.
    What format are the problematic tracks in? Have you tried converting them to another format in iTunes?

    Hi Pilot,
    Column B contains the sale amounts.
    Column C will contain the tax amounts.
    I'm assuming a header row, and the first line of data to be row 2.
    In C2, enter: =B*20%
    Click Accept, then use the mouse to drag the small round handle at the lower right of the selected cell (C2) to fill the formula into the rest of the cells in column C.
    This simple version of the formula will put zeros in all column C cells where no amount has been entered in the corresponding cell in column B. The revised formula below takes care of that.
    C2: =IF(B,B*20%,"")
    I'd strongly suggest that 'rookies', as you describe yourself, download and read both the Numbers User Guide and the Functions and Formulas User Guide. Both are available from the Help menu in Numbers. If you use Pages and Keynote, you should use the Help menu in those applications to download their User Guides as well. The guides are searchable pdf files, well written, easy to read, and useful to rookies and old hands as well.
    Regards,
