Please help!!! WRT54G lost after a reboot

I have 2 laptops and both have always been hooked to my wireless network in my house. I had a system crash and I had to reboot windows xp home (teenage son found out about the Trojan virus the hard way) and now I cant seem to get my computer to find my wrt54g that my wifes laptop is on right now. So the network is still fine but apparently my router and windows are having problems. It was saying it was connected but with limited or no connectivity even though it had a full signal at first but then I tried to use the linksys instructions as per the technician but now It wont do that anymore.
I followed the instructions and went to the dos prompt and typed ipconfig/release because I had a 169.xxx.x.x address but it wont renew because I have no connection it says. Technician wont talk to me without the $39.00 fee and I dont have a local computer guy.
Can anyone please walk me through how to get reconnected?

You are getting the ip address of 169.254.x.x as the computer is not connected to the network.Connect the computer to the router...Open the setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar..Under the Wireless tab,change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz..If the SSID(Network Name) is "linksys" then,change it to some unique name.Under the Wireless Security subtab, Check the Security Key..If you are using WEP then,note down the Key1 as the network key.
On the computer,remove the preferred network and then,try to connect the Wireless Network...  Click on Start and goto the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties.
Now on this window, click on the second tab Wireless Network and give a check mark on "Use windows to configure my wireless" and then remove all the network names present in the Preferred Networks Window. Then click on OK...
Right click on the Wireless Network Connection again and click on View Available Wireless Networks and try to re-connect to your network...Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/wep key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...It will connect...

    please HELP!! after restore found this error,, We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care???

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Could Not Be Completed?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

  • Please help ive lost my phone, Please help ive lost my phone, Please help ive lost my phone, Please help ive lost my phone, Please help ive lost my phone

    Please help me i've lost my phone as it was off when i lost it as it was flat, Please help. I was never registered with iTunes.

    You did not accidentally "back up" your phone. A backup is the process of making a copy of the data on a device for use in data recovery. What you did was "restore" to your phone a backup that had been previously made of someone else's device.
    You need to force the phone into recovery mode (google is your friend) and restore it as a NEW device. Then either restore it from YOUR backup, or set it up as a new phone.

  • Please help!! problem with rebooting lumia 820

    I only got my Lumia 820 yesterday and it was fine then today the camera stopped working, i tried taking the battery out, and putting it back in then switching it back on - still no luck. Then i went on the nokia website and looked up the troubleshooting advice where it advised a reboot. I tried the reboot, seemed to be going fine but now it wont switch on properly!! when it gets to the switching back on part of the reboot it vibrates then the nokia logo comes up on the screen but stays like that and nothing else happens!! please help, really dont know what to do!
    p.s i stay an hour away from the nearest  phone shop otherwise i'd have popped in when it was just the camera not working!

    If you tried the advice from guide return it back to point of purchase and get it exchanged.
    If  i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.
    Now using the Lumia 1520

  • PLEASE HELP I LOST 10 000+ SONGS!!!!

    i just posted in another thread sorry i couldnt start a new one a second ago. anyway...
    my computer froze up & went styupid about 1/2 hr ago & when i restarted my ipod has been wiped!!! ive lost 10 000 songs! please tell me i can get them back!
    ive tried restarting the ipod with select/menu button, didnt do anything. whenn use the ipod itself it says i have no songs or videos but my photos have stayed on there. also when i try to restore it on the computer it says i have 10Gb left which leads me to believe the songs are still on there & something just went wrong. please help it will take me years to get all these songs some were from very rare albums.

    Most of your sources are illegal; friends, LimeWire, etc... Anyhow, try first updating your iPod's firmware; iPod Updater - Version 1.1.1. If that doesn't work, restore your iPod with that same updater. Restoring your iPod will erase all the files on your iPod. You'll have to put all the files on your iPod back on your computer. Check out the following programs...
    PodUtil
    YamiPod
    Both will rip files from your iPod, and place them in a specified folder on your computer.

  • PLEASE HELP  I lost my phone. My new SIM is here. I also have a new laptop that my old phone was never connected to. Is there anyway I can retrieve my old contacts?

    Please help. I lost my i phone 4 and have now received my new SIM. My friend has kindly lent me her old i phone 3 until I get another phone. The problem is that I got a new laptop at Christmas and never connected my old phone to it before I lost it.
    Ive downloaded i tunes onto the new laptop and connected the i phone 3 but all the info from my old phone is not there (numbers, music etc)
    Is there anyway I can retrieve the info and transfer it to the i p hone 3?

    Look. It doesn't matter how many times you repeat yourself. The answer is the same.  The only way you're going to find it is by getting up off your backside and looking for it.  Why you're so concerned, I'm not sure. If you find it, you will just have to turn it (or the replacement) over to the insurance company. Unless it's your intent to commit fraud...

  • Please help me today after 8 hours of charge, my iPad has been acting funny, it keeps pressing buttons by itself I'm not joking please help me!! iPad 1 user

    Please help, it is not working, I'm not even joking how can I fix this and how much would it cost?

    Try this:
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Reset All Settings does not delete anything, all it does is take most of the iPad's settings back to default (with the exception of accounts setting, and maybe a couple other things.) It is perfectly safe.
    The only inconvenience is that you have to go back through almost all your settings and set them to your preference.

  • Mac Pro 2009 Raid Set Lost after Hard Reboot

    We have a newer Nehalem based Mac Pro with a 2009 Black Apple Hardware Raid card.  The Hard Drive Configuration is: 4 x 2TB Western Digital drives setup as a Raid 1+0 array providing 4TB of space with what we believed to be optimal performance and redundancy.  We had two volumes / partitions configured on the array, one 120GB for the OS and the remaining 3.8TB for data. 
    Everything was working fine when the server froze up.  ON the Screen an error message said there is a problem with your Raid controller, Please open Apple Raid Utility.. Unfortunatly when we tried to do that we just got a spining beachball. We tried to open finder and it beachballed.  We tried to force quit and nothing working. Finally we were left with no choice but to do a hard restart of the server and turn the machine off and then back on. 
    When the server came back on it would not boot up.  We were greeting with the Folder with a Queston Mark.  We booted from the Mac 10.6 Snow leopard Server Disk and opened up Apples Raid utility software.  Much to our shock the Raid Set and the two Volumes were not shown in the Utility.  However all 4 of the drives were listed and all being shown as Green light good status, but listed as "Roaming".  We weren't sure what to do, the volumes weren't accesible since they didn't exist, the Raid set wasn't there, there was no way to run something like Data Rescue Recovery software.  We tried calling Apple and have to wait until they open this morning.  After looking online at various forums we came accross this problem with no solutions.  Most of the people with the problems had the older 2006 Blue Raid card, and this appeared to be a common issue amoung others with the older card.  I decided to try and re-create the Raid 1+0 set.  However as soon as I did that I was prompted by Raid Utility that the drives I was selecting to use for the Raid set were already a part of another raid set and using them would delete the data on the set.  I obviously canceled the process. Crazy enough the system knows the drives belong to a Raid set but doesn't realize it should know what the raid set information is.
    We were using Mac OS 10.6.7 Snow Leopard Server, and I even tried installing and updating an external drive with 10.6.7 Server and booted from the drive from the machine and try to run Raid Utility.  That did not work either.  Any advice from anyone would be awesome.  I'm worried what Apple is going to say when I do get a hold of them, the system is under Apple Care warranty.  Thanks in advance for anyone's time.

    I haven't lost data, but in my 2010 Mac Pro with 2009-vintage Apple RAID card, it has this Really Annoying Habit of constantly losing Disk 3 (the spare) in my 4x2 TB internal RAID5 array whenever I have to do a hard reboot.
    I keep having to re-mark the now-"Roaming" drive as a Spare and then wait 8+ hours for it to rebuild the array ... grrr.
    I saw an Apple KB article that suggests removing the Roaming disk and re-inserting it.  Duh.  Fat lot of good that did.  Really wish there was some answer to this issue ... hard reboots should NOT cause array disks to go from "Assigned"/good to "Roaming"! 

  • Please Help! Lost all Desktop Icons, Finder won't open & Cant shut off iMac

    Hi Mac Users,
    I need some serious help please and thank you --- my iMac with Mac OS X 10.5.6 has lost all its desktop icons, I can't open my finder (i've tried relaunching and rebooting my computer, which won't even do a hard shut off).  I can open apps on my dock and that is about it. 
    I did read in another discussion to delete the preference file, but I can't get access to the library?!?  And I also read to try doing a disk repair from the install disk and when I insert the disk into my iMac I don't get a pop-up window asking what i'd like to do and since the finder does not open I have to way to even start the disk up to attempt to do a disk repair???? 
    Any suggestions/recommendations are greatly appreciated.
    Sincerly,
    desperate iMac kt1611

    When you tried to do a disk repair from the instal disk, did you actually boot from the instal disk?  You should.
    Have you read the manual that came with your iMac and followed the appropriate steps?

  • Please help, Im lost

    Hi,
    I previously posted about having 3 ipods for my kids. Here is my problem, which I have read the posts and cannot figure out what to do in my own ignorance.
    My son has a nano, no problems whatsoever. My twins just got shuffles two days ago.
    Shuffles do not show up AT ALL, nothing, nada. My impression was that I did not need to install the cd that came with them since I have itunes etc. Maybe that is the problem? Oldest son is worried his files will be lost if I reinstall from new cds.
    Looking at our ipod files, all that is showing is nano. When I plug nano into the usb it shows up, shuffles do not show at all.
    What the heck do I do, I have twins who are waiting and losing patience on not being able to use their new ipods.
    Please someone help me?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Thanks,
    I called Apple, they had me do the msconfig, try every usb port I have restart, reset retry everything to no avail. I find it virtually impossible that 2 new shuffles are no good, but even Apple gave up and told me to send them back!
    I just reinstalled the itunes, BUT left the serial number for the nano on it when I reinstalled.
    I restarted the computer and nothing with the shuffles is working, still.
    Im really mad now, since I have twins over my shoulder waiting for the past three days to use their brand new shuffles, when their brother plugs in nano in the same usb it works fine.
    Thanks for your suggestions, but im more lost than ever. My last question is this, if I send them back, should I just go ahead and pay the difference and get them nanos? I hate to, since they are only 10 and the likelihood of them losing them is quite large, but what am I going to do? Plus I highly doubt that my ten year olds would listen to more than 120 songs.
    thanks again!!

  • Please Help! Photoshop & After Effects launch and fail.

    Both Photoshop and After Effects  seem to stop working after I launch them. After Effects starts by  telling me I don't have Quicktime and then starts to open a window only  to remain blank and tell me it stopped working. Photoshop just doesn't  even pop open a window. 
    Adobe Flash is the only one that seems to be working when I open it up.
    I  am running Windows 8.  This all started when I installed the drivers  for my new Bamboo Pen and Touch. I hope it isn't the problem since I  bought it solely for Photoshop and Flash. I have creative cloud.
    It Starts:
    Adobe Photoshop CC has stopped working
    "Windows is looking for a solution"
    Then it says:
    A  problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will  close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
    Thank you for any assistance
