Problem connecting to same game server, WRT54G router.

Hello I have a WRT54G router, me and my brother cannot play on the same game server on Team Fortress 2. It kicks the person already in the server when the other person joins and gives a connection issue. We think the game server cannot take the same IP twice in the same server.
We checked IPs on ipchicken.com and we're sure the router giving us the same IP is the problem. If it matters we're connected with ethernet cords, not wirelessly. Is there any way to change the IP addresses or fix this?
Thanks, Matt

The game server will only see the single IP address assigned to the modem or router by your ISP, and won't see the individual computer's locally assigned addresses.
So, unfortunately I see no way around this without subscribing to a separate internet connection with your ISP.

Cannot connect two computers to the same game server HELP!

I have a Linksys WRT54G Router. I have two computers and I want to be able to use them on the same gaming server. Unfortunately, the game only have one port, so I can only port forward one of my computers. How can I configure my router to have two external IP addresses to the server so it won't kick one of my computers out. Thanks!

Hi,
I am in a gaming community and many members have a Linksys at home (but I don't know which kind exactly). Many of us try to connect two computers to the same server (many have a family). It seems it is a common problem that no one can connect two computers to the same game server.
I have a BEFSR41 V3 Firmware version 1.04.8
I use fixed IP address and no connectivity problem on Internet.
I have win XP SP2 on both computer.
I am using a DSL modem
I can connect the two computers to two different game servers at same time, but not the same server. Default port for this game is the same for all servers I use. I tried with both port forwarding enabled (in that case one PCs can connect the other not) or not (in the second case, whenever the second PC connects, the first one lose his connection to the server, no mater the order I try to connect my PCs).
Now the weird thing is that one member in my community just decided to throw away his Linksys router and he bought another brand (which I won't name to remains politically correct). Now, without changing anything in his PCs or his connection type, he can now play with two PC on the same server.
I am seriously thinking doing the same move. Since more and more game are now using Internet (and servers that controls piracy, $$) and family want to play together, not being able to connect two PCs on the same game server makes Linksys in bad situation from marketing point of view.
For example, in my gaming communtity, we now all know that Linksys can't handle two PC on same server, but other brand can...
Thank you in advance for your help.

Not able to connect my Iphone to my WRT54GS router with security enabled

As the subject line states, I'm not able to connect my Iphone to my WRT54GS router when the security is enabled. When ever I attempt to connect to my network with my phone it always tells me the password is incorrect. I have double checked the password in the easylink advisor and it matches up. I have also tried both WPA and WEP with the same result, I know that the wireless is working on the router as I turned the security off and was able to connect to it. I updated the firmware this evening also with no changes. If anyone could help me with this issue it would be much appreciated.

First of all, in the router, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also, in the router, set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your iPhone find and lock on to your router's signal.
To connect using WEP, enter WEP "key 1" (found in the router) into the iPhone, not the WEP password or passphrase.
To connect using WPA, make sure that there is not an encryption nomenclature problem. For example, WPA is not the same as WPA with AES. Please note the following:
WPA = PSK = WPA with TKIP = WPA personal
WPA2 = PSK2 = WPA with AES = WPA2 personal
I am not certain, but your iPhone probably does just ordinary WPA (not WPA with AES). Assuming that this is correct, then the router should be set to:
"WPA personal" with "TKIP"
Also, in the iPhone, be sure to delete the entry for your unsecured connection to your router, before you try to input info regarding the secured connection to the router.
Hope this helps.

Problem connecting to Web Services server

Hello,
I've had my printer running perfectly since I installed it 3 days ago but today I am nolonger able to use eprint. I can still scan and print from my home PC and laptop but I am unable to send emails directly to the printer now. This was working fine and I used the feature fairly often without error but today no emails arrived. When I logged on to the eprint web site using my google account {Personal Information Removed} the status of the printer said disconnected. I've tried deleting the printer and re-attaching it (which had no effect) and I've now tried disabling web services on the printer then re-enabling it. When I try this I now receive the following error: Problem connecting to Web Services server.
The printer model is a HP Photosmart Premium C310a with the lastest software update. The printer is connected to my network via Wifi and is reachable and usable from all my PC's.
It seems to me that there is something wrong with the software configuration on the printer, the reason I think this is because the screen interface slows down to a crawl after some use and when this happens it is not possible to switch the printer off via the power button. The only solution is to pull the power cable! This is something new and didn't happen before, is there a way to reset to factory default, the option in the menu doesn't seem to reset everything?
Please advise ASAP.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart {Personal Information Removed}

Greetings,
The ePrint Service has been having some issues after the upgrade. The server team has found and fixed a bug in the latest release that affected connectivity. If you're having problems, please unregister your product (from the Web Services menu, select "Remove Web Services"), then register again (from the Web Services menu, select "Enable Web Services).
After reregistering, I have been very successful using both ePrint and the Print Apps using my HP LaserJet CM1415. It has been staying connected, and promptly printing jobs I send to it. It has also been reconnecting after I powercycle. I sincerely hope you have the same experience. We had an ePrintCenter outage a few minutes ago that may have affected connectivity, but I am able to use ePrint and the Print Apps again as of 5:15 Mountain Time.

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

Why can't I connect to the game server

why can't I connect to the game server from my ipod touch?

Unable to connect to dedicated game server on own ...

I run an rfactor2 game server on a separate machine on my home network.
You join the server by clicking on a join button after selecting the server you wish to connect to in the server list.
My server is listed, but I am unable to connect to it, the join button stays permanently greyed out.
Others can connect and I can connect to other servers.
All required game ports have been forwarded onto the host pc, and I have checked they are open to the outside world with a port checker program.
I have added both the host and client pcs into the DMZ and disabled windows firewall but am still unable to connect.
This was with the home hub 3 ( i think) but have just upgraded to HH5 and still the same issue.
All pcs are gettign their IPs by DHCP, but are set to get the same IP every time within the router settings.
Any help appreciated.
Andy

Hi,
Please clarify me the following.
You specified the login name as 'SADMIN'. Is this the login id, that you used for your Operating System? "Entered name account authentication gateway server name" expects you to enter the NT login, not the DB login.
You may also expected to specify your network name, if your login id is specific to a network. e.g Oracle\Rajkumar assuming that Oracle is your network and Rajkumar is the user name.
You may not expected to have the DSN created, as Gateway may not be interested in knowing which DB you are connected to. And you neither enter the 'DB name' anywhere in the 'Gateway Server Configuration', if my understanding is right.
Please confirm.

Problem connecting wirelessly to the internet WRT54G

I'm having strange issues with my wrt54g router - as long as my computers are plugged into it through ethernet, I have no problem accessing the internet. However, I can't access the internet if I connect to the router using wireless (my computers can connect to the router itself wirelessly, just can't access the internet from it). I've had this router for a little under a year and it used to work fine. Then I stopped using it for a few months, forgot my password and had to hit the reset button when I wanted to set it back up again yesterday. I've tried connecting multiple computers to it wirelessly, including the old one that used to work with it, but none of them can access the internet.
I'm really not sure what could be wrong. Do I need to reinstall the router software that came with the router itself (though I'm not sure how this can help..)? Or is there some button/setting on the router that allows it to access the internet that I could have missed? I checked and wireless is enabled under wireless settings.
I'm running Vista on one computer and XP on another.

Connect the XP computer to the router at Ethernet Port ....
Reset the router for 20-30 seconds ....
Run the Disc for the setup wizard
Let me know if any other problem occurs...

Problem connecting to lotus notes server.

Hey Everyone
I am using:
Windows XP, service pack 2
PC suite 6.85.14.1
Bluetooth connection
Phone Nokia E65
I am trying to connect my laptop to the office lotus notes server. But it seems PC sync can’t locate my id file or the notes server. The fields under sync setup are simply empty.
My Notes client didn’t have any problems connecting to the server.
There are about 10 other people in the office all using the same setup (Nokia E65 and a the same type laptop) without problems.
I have tried the solution in this topic but it didn’t help: /discussions/board/message?board.id=pcsuite&message.id=24092&query.id=149864#M24092.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Thx in advance
\Andreas

open regedit
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nokia\PCSync\Settings
open => NotesIni
instead of for exemple => C:\Application_Data\notes\
type the entire path => C:\Application_Data\notes\Notes.ini
it should work

Problem connecting Nokia C3 to home wireless route...

Good day, Nokia!
I recently bought a Nokia C3-00 WiFi phone but I can't seem to browse my home wireless connection with it. The phone can detect and connect with the wireless network successfully but when I open my mobile browser, it can't load websites, saying "Service not available."
However, I can connect and browse the internet through other WiFi hotspots, just not my home connection. The router I'm using is LP-8616. It's an AP router, if that helps. Unfortunately, there's no firmware upgrade for this router anymore.
I've read all the threads about this problem here and all over the internet but still nothing works for me. Hope you or somebody here could help me to finally solve this problem. More Power!

Allsolution from another post, see /t5/Cseries/C3-wifi-problem-connect-to-wlan-but-internet-not-work/m-p/950115#M14517. Found out how to solve the problem of connecting via WLAN in the following way (the phone was able to connect to the Internet only through the GSM provider network):
Step 1: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Web or Streaming or any other (Just add, needs no other settings)
Step 2: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Default config. settings (choose MyWeb, Personal Settings or the name created at step 1)
Step 3: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal settings (delete the field created in step 1) then go to Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (choose one of the available options)
Now you can open your browser and try to connect. It should ask what method you choose (WLAN or Access Point Preferred)
If your phone does not want to be connected via the GSM provider network, the user can manually enter settings for defining an Access Point (Step 4)
Step 4: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Access Point (check with GSM provider for account settings)
Step 5: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (select the field you created earlier)
I know that what I wrote above may seem like science fiction for a user who is not accustomed to butoneasca phone and non-stop, but I assure you that the operation should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Issues connecting multiple machines wirelessly to WRT54G router

I have a WRT54G router and have one wired desktop, two laptops that connect fine and then I have a netbook and another desktop with wireless adapter I am having issues with connecting. I used the wizard and set each machine up with the downloaded executable, it says it works but when I try to connect I get unable to connect to wireless network message. ANy ideas? Any help is greatly appreciated

You have one computer connected with the cable and 2 wireless computers working fine. That means the router is working fine.
I think you should check the wireless settings of the router first.
You have one computer connected to the router with the Ethernet cable. Open the setup page of the router and go to Wireless tab. Check the wireless network name. Go to wireless security sub tab. Check the wireless security mode and make sure that you have the correct password of your wireless network. Go to Wireless MAC address filter sub tab and make sure that it is disabled.
Try to connect to the wireless network again and see if that works.

Problems connecting my iMac to a Netgear router USB printer

Hi,
First time for this sort of thing... here goes...
I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro connected to a Netgear wireless router. The router has a HP Color Laserjet 1600 connected to it via USB.
I knew that the HP 1600 was not initially compatible with Macs but wanted to see if I could save throwing it away, and found the open source CUPS driver and associated files here: http://macosx.com/forums/hardware-peripherals/302806-hp-lazer-1600-printer-drive r-mac.html
Installation of the drivers went fine.
Then I went to system preferences > Print & Fax > + and added the printer with the following settings:
Protocol: LPD
Address: 192.168.0.1 (the netgear router IP address)
Print Using: HP Color Laserjet Foomatic/foo2hp (recommended)
The printer seemed to be discovered successfully. However when I attempt to send a document to the printer it returns the message:
"Attempting to connect to host 192.168.0.1 for printer
Network host '192.168.0.1' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds..."
- and hangs there indefinitely.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Check the documentation for the Netgear router. Since you are using LPD, there is most likely a specific queue name you need to enter to access the USB port. This would explain the error, as you are connecting to the print server (router) but the spool file cannot find its way to the correct port, hence the busy message.

Problem connecting to internet via non-apple router

got a bit of a problem with the airport and my router. i have a BTVOYAGER-2110 router to connect to the internet. The router works fine and i can get the internet unsing an enternet cable into the back of the computer. But when i try to connect to the internet using my installed Airport card, it wont work. The Airport card picks up the router and connects to the network no problem. it even says in the system prefs>network menu that i am connected to the internet via arport, but i cannot bring up any pages and it does not work. also i cannot bring the router up in the admin utility. does anyone know how to solve this little problem?

I'm having a similar problem, (strong signal, definite connection to the network, but unable to access the internet): it is not necessarily a matter of "b" versus "g" protocol. When I go to Europe, most of the time I cannot connect to available wireless networks with the mac, though I can with my pc. So, I'll be interested in whatever solutions people have to your problem as well. In the meantime, go to the following link:

Problems connecting to the Admin Server

My browser can't connect to the Admin Server. Why not?
<P>
If you cannot connect to the Admin Server, ensure that the masks of
Hosts and Addresses entries in /admin-serv/config/ns-admin.conf
include the host and address you are connecting from. After changing
these parameters, stop and start the Admin Server by running the shell
scripts /stop-admin and
/start-admin.

Thanx for the reply Shane.
i had just stumbled upon the imap log before seeing your answer. i've found and fixed the problem.
the imap log showed the following message
Access to imap service for user@domain denied from client address (*mailAllowedServiceAccess)while the http log showed the following message
Access to smime service for user@domain denied from client address (mailAllowedServiceAccess)after some digging, i understood that th mailAllowedServiceAccess is a user profile property.
For my non-admin user, it was set to +imaps:ALL$+pops:ALL$+smtp:ALL$+http:ALL i modified it to include simple imap and the problem was solved.
ps: some threads that pointed me in the right direction

Problem with two Xbox 360's being online at same time with WRT54GS router

Hey guys, I have a bit of an annoying problem. I have multiple 360 consoles which are occasionally online at the same time. When one is on, it either causes connection problems with the other or blocks the other from signing on all together. Both are using the official wireless adapters and are hooked up to my WRT54GS. Usually when one of them fails at the connection test, it's a DNS failure, but it has occasionally been an IP failure.
I've already tried:
-setting them both up with static IPs. This caused NAT issues and didn't really fix the problem with one of the consoles kicking the other off.
-forwarding ports to one while leaving the other alone, setting one up in a DMZ while leaving the other alone, and setting one up in a DMZ and forwarding the ports to the other. All three trials showed no improvement, and caused NAT problems.
Also yes, I do have UPnP enabled.
*sigh*
This problem has been driving me up the wall for months now. No one I've talked to has been able to figure it out. If anyone can offer me a solution I will forever be in your debt.

You can set a Static Ip on Both the XBOX and then login to your router and do Port Triggering, this may solve your problem.
