Nooblet needs help with Linksys WRT160Nv2 wired setup please

Hello,
I have set up my Linksys WRT160N and when I check the router status in the web based setup page, Status tab, there are numerical values for Internet IP address.
So, I believe the router is connecting to the internet via my netgear modem without any issues.
The problem I am encountering is that my browsers (I have tried Explorer and Firefox) are not accessing the internet.
I have attempted to access the internet with firewall off, but still no success.
 Can someone give me some advice as to what settings within Windows XP or otherwise, that I need to alter to correct this issue.
Thank you in advance,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the help guys.
I seems to have fixed it.  I uninstalled the Intel Pro Wireless software and rebooted.
Then I installed a driver 3 version old.
This did half the job, under Network connections when I 'configure' the network card, it is now showing a MAC address, before the uninstall and reboot, the MAC was all 0's using configure, but ipconfig/all was showing the right MAC address.
But, now the wireless was constantly acquiring an address, then connected, then went straight into acquiring an address again. then would not connect after a few attempts.  Before the uninstall, it showed as connected, but I wasn't able to use the connection to access the router, internet etc.
Now, to fix the constant acquiring an address, I updated the driver to the latest driver along with the Intel Pro Wireless software and now here I am happily using my wireless  connection without any hassles.
Again, thanks for the help.

  • Need Help with Linksys router broadband-b

    I have a Linksys wireless-B broadband router for some reason it just went crazy on me. My wireless card is a wireless - G . Now when i had Verizon DSL  i  got this router and a USB  wireless adaptor from verizon. I had the usb adaptor on my wife computer and the router and modem  on my notebook for six months we had there dsl service until we moved  to a nother city. Once we  had all of our service's transfered  to the new home  we could not get verizon DSL there.
    So for a nother six months we had to use  dial up and being that we run a home business dial up was just not up to the task. Well we got rid of dish network  just to get cable T.V. just to get the cable broadband service. That's when i got a wireless card for my notebook anyway  for six months the network was working  just fine with the router and my wireless card.
    Until  Sept  this year just a few weeks ago the router started going crazy. Before my note book was config for windows to connect  linksys was connecting  and i would see all conection in the site survey,  and my own network  also. Until a few weeks a go  my network would not show .
    So i call linksys the have me download   some up dated firmware that would not install on my notebook or my wife computer after being on the phone for hours with linksys they come to tell me that  the router is ok and working alright after all the test   and steps they took me through with the router. Linksys tells me that there is something wrong with my PCM slot  on my notebook or either  my linksys wireless card. Ok  First of all i can pick up signal  on other networks  and go on line like the Hilton  Hotel  when i go in there parking lot, Second  i can pick up othr networks and get on line that are not secured  sometimes  so this tells me that there is Nothing wrong with my PCMI slot or the wireless card.
    Now i took my router across the street to a friend house and guess what he gets a signal  off the router with his notebook  but i can not and when we plug the router in the AC outlet  the internet light was flashing like crazy and my wireless card was not even in my notebook so that tells me that someone close was pulling signal off my router  but i cant.
    Can someone please explain this to me  i want to get another router wireless - G this time but if there is something that can be done to get this one working like it should that would really help.
    The Notebook has been checked out and config  and that works well when i hook the either net plug in from the modem  the  router was config as well but i just can't get a connected to the router when i use the wireless card.   

    Yes press and hold the reset button in back for 30 seconds and release.  Wait 10 seconds and power cycle the router.  Now connect to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password 'admin'.  Now try.

  • Need help with videos!!! Please

    i need help! i have a 30G ipod video and my videos are being weird. They used to play on my ipod but now there is no picture or sound. it plays on itunes too so i dont understand. Also, my purchased music plays on itunes but skips past them on my ipod-they used to play on my ipod. PLEASE help me!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    For Videos:
    So what are they doing? Are the videos showing up under "Videos" on the iPod? What happens when you try to play them? Have you tried these?
    Resetting iPod
    Restore the iPod
    For Purchased Music Skipping:
    Have you played the songs in iTunes for a few seconds? This will authorize them. Now sync your iPod. Do they play?
    If not, make sure everything is up to date on your computer and iPod..
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Updating iPod's Software
    If that doesn't work, in iTunes, go to advanced-->deauthorize computer. Now play the songs in iTunes. It will ask for your account information (from the iTunes Music Store). Enter that. Now play a few purchased songs for a few seconds. Sync your iPod. Do the songs work now?
    If they don't, try this...
    Deauthorize the computer. (Go to advanced-->deauthorize computer in iTunes)
    Create a new user in the system. (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
    Download the free song of the week in the new user account. (First, log out of the current user and log in to the new user account. Then open iTunes and download the free song)
    Play the song in that username to authorize it.
    Restore the iPod in the New User account, sync just the Free song of the Week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it plays fine on the iPod when syncing with this user name (after you followed the above instructions), it would indicate a bad iTunes Library File. Post back for instructions on how to fix that.
    Now, if it still won't work (you followed the above instructions with the new user account) and the iPod still won't play the songs, then post back.

  • Need help with Tiger & XP network setup

    Hi all!
    Back in the days of OS 7.5, I managed to stick my old faithful Mac onto my family's otherwise all-PC network. All I really needed was internet access - I didn't try to fileshare.
    Now that I have Tiger, though, I'm totally lost as to how to set up the network. All the help I can find seems to say "ask your network administrator." The problem is, that's me! I'm hoping someone can help me set up the router and the Tiger computer as well.
    Could this be a compatibility issue between OS 10.4 and the router? The router box said "minimum requirements" for Mac are "10.3, 10.2, or 10.1."
    I have a D-link DI-624 wireless router. Right now I have a desktop PC wired in with cat-5 cable, and also a laptop PC that connects wirelessly. No problem with those computers. But I cannot get my Mac to see the router, or vice versa.
    I've tried setting the router to "allow DHCP server to assign same IP address to specific MAC address." (I found my Mac's Mac address just fine and double-checked it was correct.) After setting that in the router, I hooked up the Mac via cat-5 and edited Network Prefs. First I tried "Configure using DHCP with manual address," and entered the IP address I had told the router to set automatically for the Mac.
    (Router address is 192.168.0.1 and I told it to assign 192.168.0.4 to the Mac.)
    Safari told me I wasn't connected to the Internet, so using trial and error I changed Network Prefs to "Configure IPv4 using DHCP." No luck there either, even when I tried the "Renew DHCP Lease" button.
    Any advice as to whether or not I should be telling the router to auto-assign an IP address to the Mac? I took off that setting completely, and set Network Prefs to "using DHCP," but still couldn't connect to the internet.
    Would it be worth re-installing my older copy of OS 10.1 to see if that works with the router, since that is actually listed on the box?
    I thank you for any suggestions you have to offer! I really don't know what to try next.

    I'm using the Mac wired - it does not have wireless capability, and as it is sitting right next to the router I just want to hook it up with Ethernet cable. The wireless function is just for the PCs I have downstairs.
    I am not sure what non-broadcast SSID means, but I think that has to do with the wireless portion of the network, right? I do have a SSID name set up, and WEP encryption so that only the PCs I own can connect to the wireless network, not anyone else's computers. But on the wired PC I have connected directly to the router, I do not have to input any of the security settings. I've even set the router to recognize the MAC addresses of all my computers, including the Mac.
    What brand and model of router are you using successfully with Macs & PCs? The store I bought my router from is willing to give me a full refund if I can't get it to work - perhaps I would have better luck with the type of router you're using.

  • Need Help with Firewire 800 Raid setup

    Hello everyone. I am still a newbie with OS X as to most people here but here is my problem. I bought 2 external FW 800 HDD enclosures and install 2 500GB HDD's in them.
    I daisy chained them and they work just fine. I would like to setup a Raid 0 on these drives. How do I do it? I go into the disk utility, it states to drag the disks or volumes in, "Cannot Do" and to hot create, "Which is grayed out!"
    Can anyone help please? I would like to get this up and running asap.
    One more thing, do the drives need to be OSX Journaled or can they be FAT32?
    All the help is much appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Need help with an advanced MIDI Setup

    I have used Logic since v5.5 as a tape machine but haven't dived much in to MIDI. I have recently added the following hardware:
    1) Novation Zero SLMkll control surface; hooked up via USB and seems to be functiong as it should.
    2) M-Audio Keystation Pro 88 hooked up via USB; it i seems controlling virtual instruments as it should as well as the plug-ins I have assigned.
    3) My Roland Juno Di synthesizer is giving me issues. What I play on it triggers its internal sounds as well as the virtual instruments in Logic. What I play on the Keystation also triggers the sounds in the Juno.
    I have tried assigning different MIDI channels to the Juno and Keystation but still have the same results. I have set the Juno and Keystation as described in their manuals to no avail.  The Apple Audio/MIDI Setup Utility will not let me change MIDI channels on any of it.
    How do I get these things to work independently of eachother?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    PS; for my audio I am using an Apogee Ensemble and Duet.

    >is there a way to rest it so i can type in my new password?
    Your username and password are stored in your keychain. You can remove the key from the keychain and the next time you connect you'll be asked to authenticate again.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access, find the relevant key (sorted by server name) and delete it.
    >i cant place any files ont the server. it says that it is read only. how can i change it to read and write?
    If you're usin the Finder as your FTP client, you can't. The Finder only supports read-only FTP. To upload files to a FTP server you need to use some other client.

  • Need help with hosted credit card setup?

    I am trying to setup Sagepay to connect to the BC website to take hosted credit card payments and have done the following steps, but what am I missing? I've done everything I can see to add/change from BC support site, but surely there must be something else to connect the online shop purchase form to the Sage checkout process to take payments?
    I did an online chat with BC support on Friday and they kept going through the checkout using 'COD' and said it worked fine, which of course it did as no payment is taken using COD.
    However, when you choose credit card, it just fails, so there must be something missing. It has been open as a support call since Friday with no response from BC, can anyone help me please, there is obviously something I am missing or not doing?
    I have set up the IP address and subnet mask as required direct with Sage pay online.
    I have set the payment gateway page in BC to Sage Pay and entered the vendor name as requested.
    I have customised the checkout 'online shop purchase form' to include choose credit card.
    Thanks
    lizre

    Hi Sidney,
    Just an update for you.
    I have heard back from Sage Pay support and it was an issue server side with them as you had initially thought. They said my customer had not made their account live and that they had corrected a few other settings their side, but didn't specify what exactly??
    However, Sage support have sorted that out now and I tried a transaction BC end and Sage support have confirmed it has all gone through at their end too.
    Just as a suggestion, the information is not that straight forward to find if you haven't set one up before. Most of what I found was through many different support articles and watching your online videos. I think that there should be one article that takes you through every stage of gateway setup and the payment form. It would have been a big help for me as it was my first BC Shop.
    Thanks for all your help on the processing error and the form issue, it's much appreciated! I wouldn't have got to this stage without your help. So, I am glad it's up and running ok.
    Thanks again!

    Any iPad model should work with that use. You cannot directly plug the card into the iPad, you will need to purchase the camera connection kit.
    The only requirement that presents itself based on the given information is to purchase the model with the most storage capacity your budget can handle. I believe Shutterfly has an app in the app store, but not 100% about that.

  • Need Help with Weblogic Portal WSRP setup on IE10 & above

    Hello,
    My client hosts weblogic Portal server and consumes portlets built in .Net. These work fine in all browsers except for IE10 and above.
    In IE10 and above, none of the click events seem to work. This does not generate any error in the browser or in the application on my end.
    I have setup Oracle Weblogic Portal 10gR3 locally on my Windows 7 box and I have added my application running on local machine as producer, so I am able to add break points and step through the code.
    I confirmed that every click event triggers a response but the view in the portal does not change.
    When I try to load the portlet directly in browser, every thing works fine.
    Only different thing I did different to handle multiple instances of same portlets is to add namespaces to all function names

  • Need help with Workflow notification mailer setup

    Hi all,
    I have the following requirement from my client:
    "IT has a project request from the Accounting Department to automate payments for Canadian vendors. One of the things that will need to happen on this project is setting up the Workflow Notification Mailer in AP so emails can be sent to vendors notifying them of payment. We only want to support Canadian vendors – payment processing for US vendors will continue to be handled as it is today."
    Please let me know how this can be done as I have no knowledge of setting up workflow notification mailer for a particular item.
    Thanks.

    Lot more information in Oracle Applications System Admin guide. To process messages from only a given itemtype you will use Correlation ID parameter of the mailer. But there are lot of other things that you should consider for such a set up. You would be having a build up of messages in WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue that you may want to manually take care of cleaning up.

  • Need Help with 1st time Wireless setup

    I installed my first router today (WRT54GS v.6) and everything went smoothly. But then I encountered a (small?) problem when trying to add my laptop to my network. When my laptop establishes a connection with my router, I receive the following message:
    Windows - System Error
    A duplicate name exists on the network.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and also know how to fix this problem and stop the message from appearing?
    Thanks in advanced.
    BTW, even though the message appears, I am still able to connect to the internet with my laptop.

    You probably have 2 or more computers using the same computer name, such as "MyComputer".
    Right click on "My Computer", and click on "Properties".
    Click on the "Computer Name" tab.
    Here you will see the computer name.
    Do this on all your computers.
    To change the computer name, click the "Change" button.
    While you are here, make sure all computers are set to the same unique "Workgroup".

    %>And I am getting the folowing error:
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.mysql.jdbc.DriverNow, before anyone tells me to go read other posts, I have already done this and I have tried changing my classpath with no luck. I have tried these locations as my classpath:
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12
    C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\lib\ext\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar
    Neither of which seem to work. Can anyone figure out what's happening here?

    Ok, I copied it to the <tomcat dir>/common/lib, but I copied the entire folder (which I'm assuming is necessary), with no luck. So, now the location is:
    C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 5.5\common\lib\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12\mysql-connector-java-3.1.12-bin.jar
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Need help with airport base station setup

    I have a classroom with a dozen G5 Mac Pros running Tiger and we want to allow them to use a couple of A3 photo-quality inkjet printers and a couple of flatbed scanners.
    I see that the airport base station extreme only has one usb port.
    Is it possible to use one airport extreme base station to connect all of these peripherals, add airport cards to each Mac Pro, and be able to use any of the printers or scanners from any of the Macs?
    What other equipment is necessary?
    Should we look to buy any specific printers or scanners that will be more compatible?
    Is there some other approach that will work better?
    Thanks for any advice.

    one usb port but user can connect a multi port usb power hub for multiple devices. I run three Lacie quadras connected to a seven port Belkin hub to the Extreme N router.

  • Need help with WinXP 64 and raid please...

    First off let me just say that for the past week or two I've been lurking on this forum while building my first 64 bit pc and I just want to say that all of your advice, suggestions, tips, and workarounds have proven to be invaluable. A sincere, heartfelt thanks to everyone here.   Like many of yours, my build has also been problematic. In fact, I guess I'd have to call it a pain in the ass. I can't imagine having done it without your help by using trial & error, so once again; thanks! Now, on to my ? My plan was to have one PATA 40gb HD to house 2 OS's on 2 partitions; a dual boot with XP and XP64, AND one RAID 0 made up of 2 160gb SATA HD's for everything else (actually the plan was to put the OS's on a Raptor but $$$). Now here's the prob: XP's up and running fine but when I try installing XP64 and it asks for the RAID drivers, it won't take them. It says they're not for a 64 bit OS. ? Am I the only one that thinks that odd? Isn't that the ultimate point of all this? So am I missing something? I d/l'd the 64 bit drivers from NVidia, is there a way to extract RAID drivers from them to a floppy? Also, I'd like both OS's to utilize the same RAID array for programs, storage etc. Is that a problem (my first time installing RAID   )? And if it WILL work, is it going to insist on wiping the drives and starting fresh? I hope not since since I've already got a ton of stuff on there. Anyway, thanks in advance for any and all help you might offer. Keep up the good work. -Glyph

    Thanks for your quick responses. So are you saying that if my OS isn't on the RAID array then I don't need the RAID drivers during setup? That's interesting. It's not how I understood it to be (not to say your wrong though). I'm pretty sure I needed them in WinXP, though it's on a different disc as well. Now that I think about it, maybe I could've waited and installed them through device manager with the same end result? I guess I'll try it and find out. And are there any ideas regarding the 2nd part of my question re data loss? I'd really hate to start from scratch at this point.
