No connectivity using my wrt54gs

my internet modem works fine, but when i add my wireless router i dont get any connectivity, went to cmd windows typed ipconfig but no default gateway.
need help please

What IP address do you get on your computer?
Who is your Internet service provider?
Connect the modem to the Internet port and computer to Ethernet port 1 on the router. Press and hold the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. Release the reset button and wait for 30 seconds. Power cycle the router.
Now check the IP address on your computer. If you get a valid IP address like 192.168.1.xxx then try to open the setup page of the router.
Make sure that there is no static IP address setup on your computer.

Cannot connect using Wireless WRT54G

I use windows vista and I can connect using an ethernet cable. But whenever I try to connect using wireless, it says "the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network" How can I fix this?

The wireless settings on your Vista computer must match the ones on your router.

Lost Connection to C&C Generals Zero Hour Online using the WRT54G v5 Wireless Network

I have this problem playing Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour online. I'm using the WRT54G v5 Wireless Network & when I'm in the game lobby, it kicks me off saying, "Lost connection to C&C Generals Zero Hour Online". This happens quite often variing on me entering & exiting rooms or other players entering & exiting rooms that I'm in. But it doesn't occur when I'm accually play a game with someone. It also does not happen at all when I'm connected directly to the internet connection so I know the network is causing it.
I've never had any problem with this game on any other wireless network types before. I've tried port forwarding with a static IP address, disabling firewalls, upgrading firmware, etc... No good. I've done some google research & found that varios other people on other forum sites have the same problem, it also occurs on another computer of mine.
Is there some kind of feature on this network that isn't on any others? One wireless network specificly that I've found that the game works on is the WRT54GS.
Any replies will be greatly appriecitated.

Maybe I would if I hadn't stopped playing the game 3.5 years ago. You may want to check the date on those previous message. But here's what I remember:
Turns out nothing worked the fix the problem. Not turning of a firewall, not port forwarding, not updating fireware, nothing. There must be a jitter on the routher that triggers the game into thinking it gets disconnected.
Many other users on the forums posted the same problem with this one router too & no one ever figured out a solution. Eventually that router broke & my family bought the WRT54GS2, which worked perfectly.

VPN will not connect when using the WRT54G.

I am try to connect to my office at work from home using the WRT54G wireless router. I am using the newest vpn client, and have entered all of the information to allow the connection...but it will not connect. Am I doing something wrong? Any information will be appreciated, thanks.

Can I use my WRT54G as a DHCP server only? I've got 5 dynamic IP's from Time Warner..

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if I can use my WRT54G as a DHCP server only only my network, without having to have any of my PC's plugged into it's router ports? I looked at the settings but I couldn't get it to work.
Here's why: I just got Time Warner Business Class cable internet which comes with 5 dynamic IP's. I want each computer, well 4 of them at least and 1 for the WRT54G, to have a unique IP when accessing the internet, and the other computers (5 more computers) to use the DHCP server in the WRT54G to get a NAT IP for use on the internet.
We play Diablo II on the internet and only 4 computers can be connected through 1 IP, so that limits us in my current configuration.
Current Equipment: One WRT54G, one Netgear GS116 16 port gigabit non-managed switch. One Time Warner Cable modem. Also attached to the network is one HP network printer, a Buffalo LinkStation NAS and a Zensonic Network DVD player.
Current config: Cable modem --> WRT54G --> Netgear switch.
Ideal config: Cable modem --> Netgear switch --> WRT54G.
With my current config, I am not taking advantage of the 5 dynamic IP's, but all the computers connected to the Netgear switch or the WRT54G can connect to the internet and the NAS.
So my ideal config (where I don't have to buy anything and where all the computers can print and access the NAS) is to connect all the computers and devices to the Netgear Switch and somehow force 4 of the computers and the WRT54G to get a dynamic IP from the cable modem, while the other computers and devices use the DHCP server on the WRT54G to get to the internet.
Is this possible?
I called Time Warner Cable and they weren't any help. I called the Linksys sales department and they weren't of much help either.
I suppose that I could purchase a new 8 port switch and attach 4 computers, the cable modem and the WRT54G to it. Then attach the Netgear to the WRT54G to accomodate the printer, NAS, and the other 5 computers. But in that senario, the 4 computers connected to the new switch can't print and can't reach the NAS. And geez, some computers would have to go through 3 devices to reach the internet, which has got to slow them down.
I did read about the Linksys EFG120 which has a DHCP server, but at $400 and only 120 gigs, it doesn't work for me.
I called Time Warner and the cost of more dynamic IP's is prohibitive, I'm already paying $79 a month for this internet and they want another $50 a month for 7 more dynamic IP's and that wouldn't help my NAS or my printer.
The cost of a 16 port gigabit switch with DHCP is an amazing $800 or so, which is out of the question.
Sorry for being so long winded and thanks for reading this far. I'm looking forward to any replies.

That is a hell of a setup. I don't know if it would be easier and cheaper to either buy a real router like a Cisco, get fixed IP addresses and a RV042, or buy 4 network cards for the four of the five computers which need the internet access for gaming.
O.K. First your setup:
1. You wire the modem to the 6-port switch.
2. You connect the remaining 5 ports with the WAN ports of 5 WRTs with DHCP on the WAN interface.
3. You configure each WRT with unique LAN IP addresses in the same subnet, e.g. 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0, 192.168.1.2, 192.168.1.3, 192.168.1.4, 192.168.1.5.
4. You turn off all DHCP servers except on one, e.g. 192.168.1.1. That router will be the default router and internet connection for any client which gets dynamic LAN addresses (as fallback or guests, I would not configure the NAS or printer with DHCP addresses if you have everything else on static IP addresses). You can certainly disable all DHCP servers if you want, too.
5. Now you connect all WRTs with each other.
5a. You connect port 1 of the 1st WRT with port 1 of the 2nd.
You connect port 2 of the 2nd with port 1 of the 3rd.
Port 2 of the 3rd with port 1 of the 4th.
Port 2 of the 4th with port 1 of the 5th.
(Do not create a loop connecting port 2 of the 5th with port 2 of the 1st!!)
5b. You buy another switch and connect each port 1 of each router with this switch. This has the advantage that you don't have a long cascade between the 1st and the 5th router like in 5a.
6. You connect all devices to the LAN.
6a. If you did 5a, you will probably put each computer to the router which internet connection it uses. The NAS and printer could go anywhere.
6b. If you did 5b, you hopefully bought a 16 or 24 port switch. Then you plug simply everything into that switch. Otherwise you can certainly use the free ports of the WRTs like in 6a.
7. You configure all your devices with static IP addresses. For instance,
IP 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
For the DNS servers I would highly recommend to use the DNS servers of your ISP directly and not use the relay on 192.168.1.1.
The gateway address defines through which router the computer connects to the internet.
8. You may still have to configure port forwardings on the router to the game computer if required for the game.
An interesting alternative to this setup might be to buy 4/5 network cards for the 4/5 computers with direct internet access. Then you use the one network card to connect to your single LAN behind your single WRT. The other network card goes into the switch behind the modem and has direct internet access. You then have to tell Windows which of the network cards has the default gateway for the internet connection (to prevent routing all traffic through the LAN and the WRT to the internet). One game computer would have to be behind the WRT.

Using a WRT54G as a second wireless and wired router on a LAN

I have setup a WRT54G as a second wired and wireless router on my local LAN.
The WAN wired side of the WRT54G is setup completely DHCP. It gets IP 192.168.1.104 most of the time. (I have used a PC with DHCP on theis ethernet wire and it gets to the internet OK).
The LAN side of the WRT54G is setup as 192.168.20.1 and all wireless and wired devices connecting to it get ips of 192.168.20.xxx and communicate between them selfs perfectly. However, none of them can get to the internet through the WRT54G. What have I done wrong?
Thank You

I guess your WRT54G is not connected to Internet directly, but it's connected to another router that has Internet access.
If this is the case, you can configure this device as access point/hub only in order to get Internet access from the other router. Ignore the WAN connection on this WRT54G, just connect both router's LAN port with crossover cable.. After that configure the WRT54G's wireless setting. You can get more detailed info on how to do it in following article:
Quick Guide to Configure Wireless Router as Access Point
Hope helps..

Using Linksys WRT54G as a wired network extender with Time Capsule

I have been using the WRT54G as my primary home router with an Airport Express attached to it via Ethernet cable at the opposite end of the house to extend my network. I have recently purchased a Time Capsule, which I plan to make my primary router, and I would like to use the Linksys as the extender and free up the AE to take to my office for music streaming. Is this a doable solution, and is the Linksys difficult to set up for this purpose? The AE currently uses the same network name and password as the Linksys and is a seamless extension of my network. I'd like for the new configuration to be just as seamless.

Welcome to the discussions, Hookshot!
I would like to use the Linksys as the extender
That is doable if you connect the Linksys to the Time Capsule using the ethernet cable and configure the Linksys in "bridge mode" to use the exact same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network.
and is the Linksys difficult to set up for this purpose?
You might want to post on the Linksys forum for that question as we would not have that type of specific info on the Time Capsule forum.
and free up the AE to take to my office for music streaming
The Express would be configured to "join" a wireless network for this. The Express will pick up the strongest signal from either the Time Capsule or Linksys, depending on where they are located in relation to each other.
I'd like for the new configuration to be just as seamless.
It will be if you use the exact same wireless network name, security and password on the Time Capsule and Linksys devices.

Using a wrt54gs v5 as a range extender/repeater

I would like to use a wrt54gs v5 as a repeater/range extender for a wrt160n. I know the N band won't work. trying just G-band.

This will not work, at least not with Linksys firmware. Your WRT54GS is designed to generate a wireless network, not connect to an existing wireless network.
You might be able to find third party firmware, such as dd-wrt, to convert your WRT54GS into a repeater.

Can't connect iBook to WRT54G

I bought a used Macintosh iBook G3 800MHz with dual USB ports and an AirPort (not AirPort Extreme) wireless card that supports 802.11b protocol. It is running OS X 10.4.11 with all updates applied. System Profiler says that the AirPort card's firmware is v9.52 and that the AirPort software is v3.4.9.
I cannot make a wireless connection from the iBook to my Linksys WRT54G v5 wireless router. The router has the latest v1.02.5 firmware applied. I'm trying to use WPA2 Personal set on the router and WPA Personal set on the iBook. WPA2 is supposed to be backward compatible with WPA clients. The error messages I see tell me that:
There is a problem connecting (no kidding)
The router doesn't support the encryption method
The password I'm using is incorrect
I've triple-checked the password, and I know it's right. My daughters' PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.11 and MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.5 connect using 802.11g protocol to same router using WPA or WPA2 encryption without any problems, and I've read several accounts on the Internet of other people who have the same hardware and software as I do who connect, too.
I've disabled the encryption on the router, and I still can't get the iBook to connect to it. It sees the SSID broadcast but reports an error. I was able to get an error code from the Console, and from searching the Internet I see that it's a timeout, still not terribly helpful. I've tried different combinations of router settings based on the router documentation, trying to make the wireless network more 802.11b compatible, but that hasn't helped, either. I tried setting to router to accept only 802.11b, but still no luck.
I don't know if the AirPort card is bad, but I have no way to test it, nor do I have a known good spare to swap in for it.
This has been an exercise in frustration to the Nth degree. I will be eternally grateful to anyone who can help me resolve this issue.

I found that I can attempt to connect to the router using this command from the Terminal's command line:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -A
After first disabling protection on the router and then entering that command line I get prompted for the name of the network, which I enter. After a little while the message I get is always:
Error (88001006) associating to NetName.ComputerName.
I believe that error 88001006 is a timeout, which sort of makes sense, but it doesn't tell me why the connection attempt is timing out.
I looked at the AirPort configuration and saw that it had an IP address beginning with 44. I know that the router is set up to use DHCP to assign a maximum of ten IP addresses in the range of 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.109, so I manually set the AirPort IP address for the iBook to 192.168.1.104, the same IP address it gets when I use a wired connection to the router. Still no connection.

Wired-Wireless newtork using Linksys wrt54g?

I've searched the discussions but haven't found the info I'm looking for. I'd could really use some help connecting my iMac (15" FP) to a Linksys wrt54g (v.5) router.
The ISP comes to the DSL modem, which is configured to PPPoE. The DSL modem is connected to the WRT54g which is then hard-wired to the iMac. In another part of the house I have a Nintendo Wii that I'd like to connect to one AE to establish an internet connection, and another AE to use with AirTunes.
Specifically, I need to know whether to set the DSL modem to Bridge mode (or leave it in Router mode, and then how to set up the 54g.
Once the router is set, then I think I use Airport Admin Utility to find each Airport Express.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You will need to set up this AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a Remote Base Station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
The following articles should prove helpful in setting up a WDS between the Linksys WRT54G & the AX:

- http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060609053254368&query=linksys%2Bw rt54g
and another AE to use with AirTunes
...and this AX you will want to set up in "Client Mode".

I am trying to conect a wrv200 to a WRT54GS v4 and use the WRT54GS as a repeater?

i am trying to connect a wrv200 v1 to a WRT54GS v4 and use the WRT54GS as a repeater? Can this be done i have latest firmware in both.

you cannot use router as a repeater... router has only AP mode it will broadcast the signals but it will not repeate wireless signals.

Help with using the WRT54G as an Access Point

Ever since I've been using the WRT54G as an access point behind another router I have been experiencing intermittent disconnects and reconnects from the internet anywhere from once every 5 to 60 minutes. I get the message notifcation that the Local Area Network is disconnected for a split second before everything reconnects and works fine. This has been happening on my desktop which is wired directly to the WRT54G which itself is wired directly to the other router, but I have also experienced these disconnects with my iPhone and laptops which have been using the wireless signal.
When I was connected directly to the original router I hadn't experienced any of these problems. I've also tried changing settings and even disabling the wireless broadcast of the WRT54G but to no avail. I can't figure out what the issue is, but it seems to also be affecting the wireless broadcast of the original router.
I've updated firmware for the Linksys, and I've done a reset for the Linksys as well.
Any help would be much appreciated to get rid of these disconnects.

OK, so I've tried a different setting to see if it'll work.
Previously I had not configured the WAN of the Linksys router at all and left it on Auto (DHCP) even though I disabled the DHCP for the LAN. I've now set the WAN up to a random Static IP and hopefully this will solve the problem, but I'm not sure as of yet, if anyone could look over the settings to see if they're correct please let me know.
Router 1- (Router)
WAN - Configured to ISP
LAN - DHCP
IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
IP Range: 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.150
Router 2 - Linksys (AP)
WAN - Static IP
IP: 64.XXX.XXX.1 (made up value)
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 64.XXX.XXX.254 (made up value)
DNS: XX.XXX.XXX.X (made up value)
LAN - DHCP disabled
IP: 192.168.1.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.252
The WRT54G was a bit of a pain in terms of what Static IP and Gateway values they would accept, so I had to randomly put in values until I found something that worked. So far no disconnects, but it's only been half an hour. I can't seem to access the admin page for my Linksys router at 192.168.1.2 anymore though.

In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File

Post Author: bhaveshbusa
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File. When the application calls ReportDocument.Load(reportFileName). This
tries to connect to the database using the connection information embedded in
the "reportFileName". This was only realised on checking the ODBC Trace
Log. The connection itself is not a problem. The problem is that the embedded
connection information is related to OLD production system. And failed
connections had raised some concerns.
Note: I am using
SetDataSource to populate the data for the report. So I don't need the
connection.
Is there any way I
can disable this auto-connect?

As per the program, it has to connect only one time and yesterday we tried to execute the program in DBAs observation and it errored out as expected. Didn't tried for multiple ports.
Now the question is, WHY the database connection established 16 times last week and caused user account locked. DBAs are unable to answer it. Any EXPERTs opinion on this would greatly appreciated.
I have verified managing ports in oracle documentation, it was mentioned that if one port is busy it will try to connect to another port in the range of ports mentioned during the installtion. DBAs verified ports related file and it was blank. and they are not agreeing with this reason. Please HELP me in finding the correct REASON for this.
is it a NETWORK issue or issue with DATABASE SERVER only?
