Please help with connection problem!

Hi people,
I am trying to use Siemens Speedstream 4200 modem to connect to the internet using its ethernet port. It is connected via USB to my wife's HP Pavillion DV9000 laptop (Win XP)and works fine with that. Almost all hardware in Brazil where I live does not support mac, so I'm not sure if the modem is made only for PC. I imagine that's unlikely. I have tried using both a simple direct ethernet connection to my mac as well as via my airport base station (which I initialised) but to no avail.
My airport is connected and has the IP address 10.0.1.2. I have also checked 'set serice order' to make sure the correct method of connection is at the top of the list. Do I need to find out some of the PC's network info to apply to my mac's setup?
Please, any help most appreciated as I need to connect for my work.
Thanks! Ben

1st the technology is the same worldwide, and it is not restricted to Mac only or Pc only the technology works on all compuuters irreguardless of the manufacture.
Turn off the Modem you are using and the same with the Airport Base.
Plug the ethernet into the Speedstreme Modem and into the Airport Router start the Modem first and wait a minute and then do the same to the Airport Base.
If your wifes PC is wireless it should connect as well as the Mac.
Get the Mac working first. The Pc should connect as well as the Mac either way with Ethernet or Wireless, if she has a wireless card in her's.
Don't be afraid to consult the paperwork that came with the Airport, or Airport Extreme Base.

  • [ETL]Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes ?

    Hi all,
    Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes and their values ?
    Here is the description :
    -I created a UML model with Papyrus tool and I applied MARTE profile to this UML model.
    -Then, I applied <<PaStep>> stereotype to an AcceptEventAction ( which is one of the element that I created in this model ), and set the extOpDemand property of the stereotype to 2.7 with Papyrus.
    -Now In the ETL file, I can find the stereotype property of extOpDemand as follows :
    s.attribute.selectOne(a|a.name="extOpDemand") , where s is a variable of type Stereotype.
    -However I can't access the value 2.7 of the extOpDemand attribute of the <<PaStep>> Stereotype. How do I do that ?
    Please help

    Thank you , a minimal example is provided now.
    Version of the Epsilon that I am using is : ( Epsilon Core 1.2.0.201408251031 org.eclipse.epsilon.core.feature.feature.group Eclipse.org)
    Instructions for reproducing the problem :

  • Please help with slideshow problems!

    Am using Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to make a slideshow. Have tried 4 times now and keep ending up with same problem, cannot reopen project to continue edititing.  Won't show up in orginizer and when I find on harddrive and try to open get message " wmv file cannot be opened".  How can I save a
    slideshow inprogress and be able to reopen and continue to edit and make slideshow?  I want to thank anyone who can help me with this in advance as I
    have gotten so frustrated that I want to just scream.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the help, thought I had done so but maybe not.  Anyway will have another go at it, now may I ask another
    question?  I am trying to add audio to slideshow.  I have some music I purchased thru amazon as mp3 files but I get
    message no codec and when I try to add wmv I get same message.  What type of file do I need and how can I add
    multiple songs to one slideshow.   I have one little wmv file that will go in, but it just replicates itself multiple times until
    it fills slide show. 
    Thanks again, sorry to be a bother, but this thing is driving this old man crazy.

    Subject: Please help with slideshow problems!
    You need to save the slideshow project in order to be able to go back later and make changes or additions to an existing slideshow . The wmv file is a final output format.
    Now you are most probably using only the Output command: that is what makes the wmv file.
    You should also do the Save Project command. (and I make it a practice to do the Save Project command before I do the Output command).
    If you look at the Elements Organizer 8 Help, there is a topic on "Create a slide show".
    -- Very close to the beginning of that topic is a screen shot of the Sldie Show Editor screen,
    -- The bar below the usual menu bar is labeled with a "B" and called the Shortcuts bar.
    -- The 1st entry on that Shortcuts bar is "Save Project"
    It is the Save Project command that saves the information about which photos, audio, etc you placed in that specific slide show so that you can come back again to do subsequent editing.  Save each Project with a unique name.
    After completing the Save Project command, you shoud see an "icon" in the Organizer for that slide show.
    Note:  you must also keep the photo files and audio files which you have used in this slide show: you can't delete them because the project file does NOT contain a copy of the photos, it only has the identification and folder location of the photo and audio files.

  • Please help with AcroIEHelper problem

    Hello,
    I had perfectly running laptop. Now, with no reason every time I turn on my laptop I get a messege that Windows Installer is preparing to install something. Then Installer asks me to insert a disc with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro. When I insert the disc installer tells me that it can not access a file. Exactly:
    Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional
    Error 1304: Error writing to file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll.
    Verify that you have access to that directory.
    I checked that directory and did not find such file. Sometimes, this messege appears when I try to open C: or folders on my Desktop but not always. Once it showed up when I tryed to start IE. Ater I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat this messege stopped showing up. But when I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat it started again.
    I have tryed almost every anti-malware I could find - McAfee, Spybot, Spyware Doctor, Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware, Superantispyware, AVG 8.5, Dr. Web - all these programms I ran in both normal and safe modes. I even went to BIOS Setup and returned to factory settings. Nothing helped. I went to malware forum and people did not find any malware in my logs.
    Then, I installed WinPatrol that seems to be able managing startup programs. After I desabled SC-Acrobat.exe and Adobe Gamma Loader I do not have this annoying Windows Installer for Adobe Acrobat warning any more when Windows starts. But it still shows up often, but not always when I open C: or folders on my Desktop. I have Windows Vista Home.
    So could you please help me with this problem? Thank you.

  • PLEASE HELP WITH BATTERY PROBLEM!!

    I recently swicthed from the 8830 which was a wonderfull phone. MY curve from sprint, 8330 is dead every day by 5 pm. I already exchanged the phone and had the battery replaced (third battery) I used my 8830 with the same applications and the most it would be by like 50-70 percent.  I dont know what to do. The curve is SUPPOSED TO  get better battery life! but actually is not. Its become a non realiable phone for me. Its still under my 30 days. Even though i already swaped it once. I do not want to get rid if this phone. I love the blackberry i just need the battery to last me either the same or better than the 8830 as blackberry promised....
    I have read forums in closing the applications but even when i do its still the same. I occasionally do get the hour glass problem and it does lag quite a bit.  Does any one know of a battery issue?? Has to be???
    I let it die last night and recharged it completely - as some of you recommended. I will try it today but my hopes arent to high ....

  • Please help! connection problems

    ok I've been working on this for several hours now and can't figure it out.  I just moved back home and my connection was working some yesterday but I can't get it to work anymore.
    It says I'm connected but it won't receive any packets.  I changed the SSID name and removed the old SSID's.  I reinstalled my wireless pci card drivers and switched pci slots.  I updated the router's firmware (it's WRT54G).  I changed Advanced Wireless Settings as suggested: Beacon Interval: 50; lowered Fragmentation and RTS threshholds by 40 each.  I switched the router to channel 11.
    I've tried repairing the connection many times (some times it works, most times it won't renew IP address); I've also reset the router many times.
    My computer skills are intermediate but certainly not advanced.  I can't directly connect it to the modem via cable b/c I don't have the necessary hardware (modem card?).  I talked to tech support and I was able to "ping yahoo.com," google, etc successfully but it just won't receive packets...Please help!

    The best thing to do at this point is to go back over setting up the wireless security settings again and make sure that while you are setting up these settings that you connect an Ethernet cable from that computer to the router then perform a power cycle
    You need to remove the power cable from the Linksys router, then remove the power cable from the modem, wait about 60 seconds, then plug in the modem, then plug in the Linksys router. Wait about 3 minutes while the modem and router sync back up. Once all light are back on,disconnect the ethernet cable and now try to connect.
    Here are instructions to follow if you need them
    Setting up your wireless connection in your router.
    *** Step #5 = you can choose the type of encryption that fits your set-up, the example I give is: WPA/TKIP+AES
    ***Also Pay close attention to the security and security key information and make sure it matches. (What is entered in the router must be entered in the computer.
    1.Open Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar.
    2.You will now get a sign-in box, User Name = (Leave Blank)
                                                           Password = admin (all lower case letters)
    3.Once the set-up page opens, click on the Wireless Tab as youwill need to change the settings. A) Wireless Network Mode = Mixed
                  B) Wireless Network Name (SSID) = Choose any name and do not use Linksys.
                  C) Wireless Channel = 1, 6 or 11 is best, so see which work best for you.
                  D) Wireless SSID Broadcast = Enabled.
    4. Now go to the bottom of the page and click on save settings.
    5. Click on the Wireless Security Sub tab.
                  A) Security Mode: WPA
                  B) WPA Algorithms: TKIP + AES
                  C) WPA Shared Key:  Type 24 letters, and numbers using lower and upper case letters
                  D) Group Key Renewal: 3600
    6. Once again go to the bottom of the page and click on Save Settings.
    7. Now you can close out of this page.
    8. You will now need to enter the security info into your computer. I will now give you 2 links, depending which operating system you have, Vista or XP you will follow the one you have.
    Vista = http://www.home-network-help.com/wireless-adapter-configuration-in-vista.html
    XP = http://www.home-network-help.com/wireless-adapter.html
    Now try to make a wireless connection.

  • Please help with some problems with my N96

    Hi there,
    I have spent a fair bit of money on my Nokia N96 and unfortunately it is out of its warranty etc.And I have few issues with it.
    So can anyone advise me as to how about I can overcome some issues:
    Firstly, in my message inbox only the numbers display instead of the names (e.g.. +447770260.. Instead of Peter), has anyone had this issue or can help with this? I have gone into the message setting and nothing sticks out and says click me for number or name to be displayed.
    Secondly, the vibrating device doesn't seem to work at all some days and other days it seems fine? Is this a common fault or is it my phone. Also, is there anywhere on the phone to adjust the vibrating force which maybe getting in the way?
    Many thanks for any advise or for merely looking, and grateful for any help.

    read the above thread in regards to the contacts issue. it is a common issue for the s60 phones no fix as yet and it has been few years now.
    there is no way you can adjust the vibration force. its either on or off. the vibration should work at all times if you have it set to work. it should not be random. you might want to take it to nokia care for them to have a look at it despite the fact that it is out of warranty.  
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • Some help with connection problems

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble at home with a wireless internet connection:
    My macbook can detect and see an internet connection, and my network settings claim I am connected to the internet.
    But all programs (MSN, Safari, and so on) that use the internet cannot connect, and tell me I am not connected to the internet.
    How do I fix this problem?
    It happens pretty frequently - around once every three weeks or so.

    I am curious how you fixed this...I am having the same problems and can't figure out why??

    If you're using a Type 2 driver (part Java, part native) you need to place the native library (DLL in Win32, shared library in UNIX) in a directory that is part of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment varibale. If you're running on a Win32 box simply update the PATH setting to point to your native JDBC DLL file.

  • Please help with video problem

    I hope I'm in the right forum. I have a MS-6368 Mainboard & recently the video has gone bad. The boarders of anything on the screen & the text is for the lack of a better word squiggly. Horizontal lines seem to be ok but all vertical lines & all text have this squiggly swimmy motion. Just a warning that I am very computer ignorant.
    TIA

    DOMM:
    Since your able to boot into safe mode okay your problem sounds like it is simply a driver problem. In safe mode Windows is not loading the driver for your video controller. In safe mode Windows loads its own generic video driver which has very limited capabilities. Actually the generic driver has only just enough capabilities to function in safe mode operation.
    Try to follow Hjongste's suggestions or, download the drivers for your motherboard and follow the instruction in the readme. If there is a readme file because the installer will more than likely do everything for you anyway. They have the VGA driver for your motherboard on this page:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=21&kind=1
    Just run the installer program and see if that cures your problem.
    By the way...
    I did a search in the knowledge base for your motherboard and the question "Can I disable the on-board video for MS-6368?" question was answered with "No, you cannot, this is a chipset limitation." So adding a video card is probably out of the question anyway. The help you've been provided is very useful. Don't be timid about following their advice.
