Net down, can't login to router, lights normal on 2nd pc (1st works fine)

I have had a PC installed with FIOS and working perfectly (wire connection, windows xp, m1424-wr router). I have brought in a newer upgrade PC tower (vista 64 home) that has had internet working fine just recently, but cannot get it to work with FIOS and my router. I do not run both PC's at once, just one at a time and will replace the other one once this is setup (one monitor). I have an IP address assigned and packets are sent and received, but I cannot access the web or even login to my router (manually or using FIOS's wizard software). It is set to auto obtain an address and DNS. I can log into the router on the old computer that works, and using the same login/password combo on the 2nd computer it fails. I am using the same cable, and all lights on the router and the pc NIC are on. Safe mode with networking provides no change
Any ideas what the problem is? The computer has been working on another network just fine a day before I tried setting it up at a new location with FIOS, but it seems like it is rejecting the connection somehow.

This is an interesting one. Let me see if I understand your post correctly. You see that the new computer is assigned a proper address on the network, and you are able to view the router login page from the new computer. However, entering the router logn/password from the new computer fails to access the router, and you do not have access to the internet. Is that correct?
If so, when you try logging in to the router from the new PC, how exactly does it fail? What is displayed on your screen?

Frustrated - Can't connect to router with laptop after disconnect, other devices work fine.

I have a RevI Actiontec router with dual antennas(not sure of firmware as I am not at home). My wife can be on her laptop all day, then when I come home with my IPad, it make her lose connection to the router. The router still connects to my iPhone 4 and iPad (both with iOS 6.0.1), but she is unable to connect to router at all. Everything continues to function normally on my Apple devices, so we are still connected to the internet. I have a laptop as well, and when this is happening, both of the laptops stop connecting, but the apple devices and our Toshiba TV and BluRay players continue to function normally. As a temp fix, I disconnect internet from my iPad and restart the router. It works until we try to run both at the same time.
I am mildly computer literate, though I know little about network setups beyond security, MAC filtering, and other slightly advanced setup stuff.
This is really frustrating and seems to be getting worse. We used it like this in our new house for several months before this started happening.

Also check to make sure neither of the devices are set to use a static IP address.

Recently, I can't get any sound from my game applications. Sound works fine with video, streaming, etc, but not my game applications. I've tried powering down and re-booting, but the sound does not return. Can anyone help me?

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Yes. Reinstall iTunes. If that is the point at which you stopped trying the support suggestions then it makes sense to me, that you move on to the next suggestion and if reinstalling iTunes is the next suggestion, so be it.
However .... I too have issues that arise out of the blue with my iPad being recognized in iTunes and what I always do and it eventually works is to quit iTunes, restart my MacBook, and reboot my iPad.
Rebooting the iPad is the last thing that I do and only if I have no success with quitting iTunes and restarting the Mac. It may take a few tries to work, but if you are that dead set against reinstalling iTunes, then give it a try.

InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

InDesign CS5 is not opening after deactivation/activation. How can I fix this? Illustrator and Photoshop open and are working fine. Please help!

First of all, thank you for replying so promptly to my posts this morning!
I can't remember how I got the software on his computer, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't through migration assistant.
I was looking into doing an uninstall of InDesign and a fresh install. However, I initially downloaded the CS5 suite digitally and I can't find out how I am able to perform a fresh install of InDesign. Do you know where I find this info or gain access to download just InDesign again? I can't seem to find anything in my Adobe account that shows where I might do another download.

I installed CS3 on my windows 8 laptop, and I can't open my raw images in camera raw. It worked fine on my old XP computer

I installed CS3 on my windows 8 laptop. Why can't I open my raw images in camera raw? Worked fine on my old XP computer

If in photoshop cs3 you go to Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Which camera are the camera raw files from?
After you downloaded the Camera_Raw_4_6.zip, you unzipped (extracted) the file and then copied the Camera Raw.8bi to
Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 64 bit)
or
Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 32 bit)
replacing the existing camera raw 8bi?

Gonna go out on a limb here and say it's probably user error.

Can't login to router, doesn't put out a IP address on WRT54

Hi everybody,
I'm running Windows XP and I have another WRT54G that I'm connected to that works perfectly. I've also done many hard resets. I don't have a static IP setup. Here's what ipconfig says:
Windows IP Configuration
Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : athlonxp
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 169.254.238.133
The only good thing is that the computer isn't complaining that I'm not connected to a network. So I'm connected to something, but i can't access the admin page of my router. It always used to be 192.168.1.1, but now it seems like it changed. I also can't connect to 169.254.238.133
Thanks for any input,
Tom

If you are getting 169.254.X.X Ip nmeans there is no connection between router & computer ....
Lower Down the Etherent Adater card speed from Auto to 10 Half Duplex >> Reboot the computer >> Again check the Ip address ..if getting the same Ip ... then disconnect the Modem from the router ....
Leave the computer connected to the wireless router ....
Reset the router for few seconds .... unplug & replug the wireless router ... See if it works ...

Can't login to router web interface anymore (Authentication Required fails)

After upgrading to Firefox 9.0.1 (or another recent version), I can't login to the web interface of my router anymore, even though I can login with other browsers.
I've tried to login to 192.168.1.1 using Firefox 9.0.1 and my saved credentials (admin/********), but the authentication pop-up just showed up again. The same thing happened when I manually entered the same information. Using safe mode and/or private browsing didn't help either.
To be sure that is was a problem with the Firefox browser, I wrote the address, login and password in a text file, then copied-&-pasted the information into both Firefox and Google Chrome. The result: after repeating this a couple of times, it always worked on Chrome and never on Firefox.
The login process used to work flawlessly with previous versions of the browser, but I'm not sure if the problem appeared on 9.0.1 or the version before.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

EA6900 - Upgraded to latest firmware now can't login to router

Upgraded EA6900 to latest firmware (11629 I believe). Now unable to login to router using either mylocal.router or linksyssmartwifi.com. Continues to pop up message that setup not complete. I repeat the steps to reset the router to factory settings and end up in same spot. I've tried the procedure connected wired to the router and wirelss to the router. I can login to router using smartwifi app on iPad however. Wireless connection still works as devices can connect. I'm stumbed.

Try clearing you browser's history and temporary files. Also restart the computer just in case.

Wrt600n still can't login to router after factory reset

Ok, so I reset the router but i still can't login to the setup using the factory password (admin/admin) (blank/admin) (admin/blank). Now I have an unencrypted network and no access to the setup... I even tried using the setup CD but it doesn't recognize the router. Anyone have this problem or know of a possible fix?
thanks, Carl
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Its a very common problem. Generally peoples push reset button 10-15 sec for reset that it not good enough to return your router to factory setting. So hold the Cisoc Linksys wrt600n reset button this time at least 30-40 second. And try now for a new setting.
I hope, it helps.
Thanks,
Rich

Can connect to router but not ad hoc network. Works fine with iPhone.

My brand new ipad on ios 3.2.2 connects fine to my router and my jailbroken iphone running Mywi. However, I cant connect to an ad hoc network set up on my laptop running vista. My iphone connects to the ad hoc without any problems. I've tried everything, static ips, wep, wpa, hard resets, restoring, resetting network settings but no go. How can' everything else be fine but not connecting to the ad hoc network, especially since it works fine to connect with the iphone?
Btw, the ad hoc is for controlling music software on the laptop through wifi. It's not for getting internet.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Many thanks,
L

Hi and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Did you try doing a search, upper right corner of this window, on remote control? There have been a number of discussions during the last two weeks about remote control problems.
There have also been discussions about networking an iPad via another computer, such as iMac or MacBook Pro, using the computer's wireless card rather than a router.
See if one of those will answer your question.

My iMessage says that I can't login due to network connection issues, but my WiFi works great. Now I can't sign in to iMessage, how do i fix this?

Whenever I try to sign in to my iMessage, it says check your network connection and try again. Well, my WiFi works fine and I am updated to the latest software update(iOS 7.1.1). How should I fix this to sign in?

Try these suggestions in this order.
Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
