Now that I have a new vista computer my labtop wont connect to internet

I just got a new HP computer with Vista on it. At first I was able to get internet connection on my labtop, now I cannot and if I leave my WRT54 G  Version 6  wireless router  plugged in I cant access the internet  on my computer as well. when it is plugged in it shows the reception on my labtop and even connects but the internet does not work I cannot view any pages.  I put in the startup disk it came with but it wont install all the way and I tried to download firmware but it wont open in PDF as a BIN file.  I think this is because of the vista. I have reseted the router and the modem but nothing works now. at first if I reseted them i would get internet access but now I cannot.  I would gladly appreciate any advice on how to solve the problem.
                                  Thank You

The .bin file is the firmware.  When you access your router and go to flash the firmware to direct it to where ever that .bin file then flash it.  I am guessing you have a cable modem?  Try pluging into the modem with a cat5e cable and see if you can get online.  If you can then plug the router back in then plug you pc in and rreconfigure your SSID/security/password  and the rest of the settings you need.  Then unplug you pc and try connecting with the wireless.

  • I had an iPod touch, but it was stolen or lost. Now that I have a new one with a new Apple ID, is there someway I can access and download all my old photos and data from my old Apple ID to my new device? I still remember my old Apple ID and password.

    Restopre from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    Also,
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

  • Help I have a  BEFW11S4 router and my labtop wont connect...

    Help I have a  BEFW11S4 router and my labtop wont connect to the internet but my desk top is connected. I called for Tech. support and they wanna charge me $30 to tell me to go to a website to reset settings. I am not paying $30 thats insane just for tech. support.
    Info:
    All the lights on my router & modem are solid green.
    My desk top is connected.
    How to I connect my laptop? any suggestions.
    they usually send you to the 192.168.1.1 or something similar. I forget how to ping also so I couldn't check that.

    I changed the channels mine was set on 6 when I went into setup. My internet connection is set to PPPoE   It didnt say anything that said " beacon interval" or "RTS and Fragmentation threshold"  where would I find that at??
    Anyway my wireless computer can connect online with excellent strength but my desktop will not connect. I disconnected the router and pluged the computer into the modemn and I had internet access although my signal was not great. All my lights are solid.
    Should I bite the bullet and just go get a new router??

  • When you have multi iphones and multi ipads, is it really best to have separate itunes accounts.  My husband and I really seems to be running into problems now that I have a new I pad and we have one itunes account.

    I just purchased the New Ipad, my husband and I have 2 Iphones (4 & 4s) and he has the Ipad 2, we are "technically" challenged, that I will put out there right up front .  We've had nothing but troubles with the imessaging, and messages stating that they have been delivered but not received.  I am not sure if it's more confusing with us having this one Itunes account, if it's best for me to have my Itunes account and my husband having his own.  The Itunes account is my husband's and for some reason, the imessager doesn't recognize "him" being registered, but it sees everyone else.  It wasn't working last night, but this morning, it worked, but when I tried to send him a text from my iphone this morning, it said, delivered, but he never got it, the only way I could get it to work, was to turn off, imessaging.  It's become very confusing and I am not sure why.  I am thinking, I will remove my Iphone from his Itunes account, set up my own (as we have too much problem with this Icloud, his contacts, his music, etc).  Any thoughts, suggest, help, would be greatly appreciated.  Not sure what this problem is all the sudden with the imessager, we had no problem before I got my Ipad (which has not been synced with his Itunes yet as an additonal device)  I am sure if there is a problem with how we have our contacts listed).  I've tried reading articles and again, being technically challenged, it is hard to follow sometimes.

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • HT1711 I had a lot of music purchased from I tunes but now that I have a new I tunes user name and pass word I cannot retreive my albums from the purchased

    I had a lot of music purchased from i tunes but when I changed my I tunes username and password I could not retreive my music that I previously purchased. What do you suggest.

    There are a lots of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available some are commercial, some are donation ware. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

  • Time Machine freezes/stalls now that I have a new external HD

    I have been using a LaCie HD for years to back up my computer with Time Machine. All has been fine. I have an iMac/OS 10.5.8. But a few months ago, I got an EZQ 1 TB external HD to store my video. The Time Machine is still set to store my backup on the LaCie. But now, every so often, Time Machine will freeze up and stall while trying to back things up. I can't force quit anything, so I need to do a hard restart of the computer. It takes forever to reboot, and when it does, it can't find my EZQ HD. What's going on? Thanks for the info.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I tried all of them, but I'm still having problems. Could the new hard drive be messing up Time Machine, even though they are not connected?
    Possibly, directly or indirectly.
    Is Time Machine backing-up anything on the EZQ drive? If so, exclude it for a while and see if the problems stop.
    How are these drives connected to your Mac? If they're not on separate ports, try that if at all possible, at least temporarily. If a hub or daisy-chaining is involved, try connecting directly if at all possible. Those should narrow down the possibilities.
    If not, it's possible that OSX is having trouble with the EZQ, slowing things down, but not too badly until Time Machine also needs some resources. What happens if you eject and disconnect it -- do the problems stop?
    Another way to see what's happening is to watch your CPU usage via the +Activity Monitor+ app (in your Applications/Utilities folder). When it starts, select either +All Processes+ or +Active Processes+ in the toolbar, and sort the list by the +% CPU+ column, so the highest numbers are on top, and select the CPU tab towards the bottom. For this purpose, also select +View > Update Frequency > Less Often+ or Normal from the Menubar.
    Various processes will "spike" up and down normally as they do things, then are idle, so you need to watch it for a while and get a feel for the processes that are using the most CPU, and the +% Idle+ at the bottom.
    Let it run; try to keep at least the first few lines visible at all times, so you'll be able to see them when your Mac slows down or freezes. When that happens, see what process(es) are using the most CPU.
    If the process(es) involved aren't familiar to you, post their names here (and or check this out: http://triviaware.com/macprocess/all)

  • Why do I need to open an Adobe account to open attacnments now that I have a new printer?

    Why do I need to open an Adobe account in order to open attachments?

    The message: "Adobe Reader could not open {file name here} because it is either not a supported file or because the file wasn't correctly decoded" appears whenever I try to open a downloaded file. Then I get information on how to open an Adobe account for $7 or $8 bucks a month. This annoying disruption on service only occured sence I installed an Epson printer. They deny any knowlage of working with or association with Adobe. However my computer is severly effected by the recent installation.

    A better way is to select the photos in iPhoto and export to a desk top folder, right click on it and burn to disk

  • Firefox mage quality and resolution was superb when I used XP and Vista. Now that I have Windows 7, however (with the Firefox 3.6.3 version), the image quality and resolution is poor. Please help me!

    I am using the Firefox 3.6.3 version with my new Windows 7 operating system. When I used all the previous Firefox versions in my XP and Vista operating systems, image quality and resolution was excellent! However, now that I have upgraded to Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.3, the image quality and resolution is poor (unacceptable for downloading purposes).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I first activated my new computer and installed the Firefox 3.6.3.

    All my images are pixelated in firefox 3.6.3

    Not only on my site but on most sites I view.
    The issue is not solved by resetting the zoom text view (ctrl+0)
    The issue is not resolved by starting in safemode with add-ons disabled
    The problem seems to only affect .jpeg files and only on Windows 7 on my desktop; as I have viewed several sites using windows XP with my laptop, no issues.
    I had the same issue with IE8 and was able to fix the problem with by setting up the compatibility view for all sites. Issue fixed no problems at all. But nothing similar for firefox?
    Whats the deal?
