Problem getting a wireless connection to work

Well after some enormous help from ArchForum - i managed to get my new laptop's netcard running.
Its a IBM X60S with the intel Chipset. but not I'm trying to get connection to my networks around me - But It will not work.
Normally i have used the KDE WIFImanager to do this - But now its just blinks off on constantly - súddenly its gonbe and then its back - I have ONCE been able to connect to the network - But didn' t get an IP adress.
So since is gonna to be my work computer - I would really like to get this working as quicly as possible but I do not know how - and cannot see the problem. So here I go. I using IPW3945 and added it to rc.conf Modules= IPW3945 - and daemons IPW3945d (But should this evt. be before or after network
I didn' t have anything else speciel in the rc.conf and can scan and find my network - but not able to connect to it or anything ...
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
eth2="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth2)
But not what so ever normally I hvae and 128bWEP crypt on the network - BUT do an iwlist eth2 keys shows only 40 & 104bits?? Isn't it strange??
eth2 2 key sizes : 40, 104bits
4 keys available :
[1]: 9096-4A0E-3965-137A-CACB-DEC6-9D (104 bits)
[2]: off
[3]: off
[4]: off
Current Transmit Key: [1]
Security mode:open
the funny thing in dmesg:
ipw3945: Detected geography ABG (13 802.11bg channels, 23 802.11a channels)
ieee80211_crypt: registered algorithm 'WEP'
ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth2: link is not ready

ipw3945: Detected geography ABG (13 802.11bg channels, 23 802.11a channels)
The funny part - i'm sitting with a IBM R51 rigth next to and all works fine here - and the signal is ultimativ and no problem getting an IPadress or anything.
EDIT: I have now several times getting connected to the network - but not at any times been able to get an IPaddress - even though both machines have the same setup - and should get the IPaddress from the router. The old IBM gets it - but not the X60s.
It seems like the asking for the DHCP - don't get on at all - In the routers log I cannot see if the card is asking for an IP - And should mean that it happend all the way.
Hopefully someone can help me further on with this ??? So than I'm able to cone further with this machine

Well -
Is there difference between some off the networks ??
I mean in my Router thereś 3 options:
64 - 128 -256 Bits crypto
But with IPW3945 there only 2 :
40 - 104 Bits.
So whats the difference and can you make something difference ? and is it possible to connect in other way to the accesspoints.
Normally on each and every else IBM i have used IPW2200 and works just normally with kde WIFI manager.
The only way i can connet to the accesspoint is without any WEP and with an static IP ???
This cannot be the way!!!!

Problem getting a wireless connection to HP iPAQ h5455

Problem getting a wireless connection to HP iPAQ h5455. This unit is small hand held device simlar to a PDA. I has both wireless and bluetooth access.
I get a connection to the modem but I can not connect to the internet.
I have verified the connection by ping and using the information provided on one of the h5455 status page.
I believe the problem I can not find anywhere to enter in my user id and password to get access to my dsl account.
Do I really need to enter in my user id and password to make a connection for the internet?
I have 3 other computer in my home network, 2 hardwired and 1 wireless. All of them can connect and go online with no problems.

#1 What is the brand and model of your router?
#2 What is the brand and model of your modem?

Cannot get the wireless connection to work on mx459

I have tried for hours to set up the wireless connection. I even did the usb connect method. I enter the ip manually and it won't detect it....just keeps me looping to the detect ip automatically or use the network connections it detects. I tried the wps button on the router, printer doesn't find it. I can detect my network thru the lan settings on the printer, but my other computer just doesn't pick it up. Have tried everything suggested and that i could come up with, but im out of ideas at this point....any suggestions?

Sorry, i am trying to connect to it from an acer desktop running windows 8. athlon II x2 215 dual core processor. the router is a westell wireless router.

Problems getting rt73 wireless dongles to work

Wireless USB: Belkin F5D7050 Ver. 3000 (rt73 chipset)
Wireless USB: D-Link DWL-G122 Rev. C1 (rt73 chipset)
Router: Linksys WRT54G (B+G Channel 8 DHCP Enabled WPA TKIP)
Kernel: 2.6.20-ARCH
CPU: Athlon XP 2200+ 1.8ghz
At the moment I have the Belkin device working fine under the latest ndiswrapper for a certain amount of time until websites will stop resolving after a while with the only way to fix it being to reboot or go downstairs and reset the router. I don't care too much which dongle I get working although I would prefer the Belkin since I already have that working in Windows. Obviously I'm only plugging them in one at a time. I've tried multiple combinations in my resolv.conf and followed numerous guides to make sure my network profiles and wpa_supplicant are set up right although I can post them for you to check. I couldn't find a working .sys file for the D-Link device under ndiswrapper so basically what I am trying to say is ndiswrapper is out of the question and need to get native drivers working. They are both editions which have an rt73 chipset even though some devices with the same model use 2500. I looked it up and the Ubuntu wiki incidentally uses both these devices as an example so I know for sure that they should work with RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.0.3.6 tar.
I have followed the steps in the Arch Wiki guide carefully. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/RT73_Wireless
However when I cd to the module directory after making the required modifications and do a make as root I get errors which is disappointing as by all accounts I have read so far it should work. I get errors compiling the RT73_CVS_Daily package as well but I think that was something to do with incompatibility with SMP and the need for a kernel recompile. The Arch Wiki method seems my best bet still. Here is the error I am getting on compilation anyway:

What could this mean? Looking over it I've just spotted a permission denied in there even though I'm running it as root so now I'm wondering if there is some sort of resource conflict because ndiswrapper is still loaded in memory. I really don't understand why this wouldn't work. This is way above my skills so please help.

Hi,
I also have a rt73 chip - edimax EW-7318UG.
I used this package from aur :
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
and now I have the module. Maybe it will work for you as well.
My problem seems to be setting up the interface. I can set it up to run manually - using ifconfig and iwconfig but it seems I can't load the network on startup. I keep getting this response form the startup network script :
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device rausb0 ; Network is down.
I have to run manually each time :
[root@fort etc]# ifconfig rausb0 up
[root@fort etc]# iwconfig rausb0 essid mikahome
[root@fort etc]# dhcpcd rausb0
Anyone knows if this can be automated?

Two years trying to get Toshiba Laptop Wireless Connection to work

I've been trying for the last two years to try and get the wireless connection on my Toshiba Laptop to work without much sucess. I did for a short time manage to establish an ad-hoc wireless connection from the Laptop to a Desktop and share the internet connection that way but then that stopped working.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-15L model no PSU45E-00J005EN. It's the one with the 12.1" screen and running Windows XP Pro sp3.
My Wireless switch on the front of the laptop is turned on. It is also enabled in the software FN F5 Wireless enabled, bluetooth disabled. I don't have Intel ProSet.
Previously when I managed to establish an ad-hoc connection that was using microsofts software. I had to manually enable the Wireless Zero Configuation (WZC) each time though as it always started disabled or stopped even if I set it to start automatically. It was a monumental PITA.
When I try and connect to the home ADSL Wireless Router (Belkin N150) using the Toshiba software I get the error message "another vendor's application is controlling the wireless adaptor".
I get this all the time even if I have disabled Microsofts Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC).
I was thinking Windows was still somehow controlling this even though I have disabled WZC so having read solutions in other posts I have tried going to...
contol panel -> network connections -> wireless connection -> properties -> wireless networks tab -> uncheck "Use Windows to configure...".
But unfortunately there is no "wireless networks tab" in there, all I have is the other two tabs. And since trying to use Toshibas software to establish the wireless connection using their Radar thing, now when I click into the wireless network connection it has the message "Windows cannot configure this wireless connection. If you have enabled another program to configure this wireless connection, use that software."
Can anyone on the forum or at Toshiba help please?
Thanks,
John

Two years? Sorry but I cannot believe it.
If everything is Ok and I mean if there is no hardware problem you dont need longer than two minutes for WLAN configuration.
At first you must be sure the WLAN card is installed properly (device manager).
WLAN card must also be enabled properly (switch > check FN+F8 > check ConfigFree tool).
When he WLAN card is enabled properly (check status in ConfigFree) scan the area using option RADAR in ConfigFree.
Can you find this option?
Can you scan the area?
Is some WLAN visible for your notebook?

How to get the wireless router to work when i change to new modem and internet connection

I already set up my wireless router in my macbook but then moved to a new house and basically have a new internet connection. My internet connection is fine when i connect the ethernet cable form the modem to my macbook. But when i plugged in the wireless router, my computer sees it but will not connect to the internet. I lost my installation CD and i tried to re-install using the dowloaded installation but it goes into error saying i can't re-install if i don't change back to default.. anyway, maybe the solution is simple but it eludes me so please help!
In summary:
1. same macbook
2. same wireless router
3. same internet provider but new connection and modem (since i moved to a different house)
how do i get my wireless router to work? thanks!!!

Who is your Internet Service Provider(ISP)?
If you have a cable connection then follow this link and if you have a DSL connection then follow this link to configure your router.

Equium L300: cannot get a wireless connection

Hi all
I purchased an Equium L300 PSLB2E and cannot get a wireless connection. I have checked the network adapters and it tells me the Realtek RTL8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC ( NDIS 6.0 ) is working.
I have tried the FN+F8 but do not get any symbol for Wi Fi.
I have the Wireless switch to the fornt of the unit switched on.
Any help much appreciated.

Try again!
If the WLan card (device) will not appear in the Network adapters then you should take your Recovery DVD and should set the notebook back to the factory settings.
By the way; there is a Toshiba tool called *WPS Library*.
The WPS Library is needed for using ConfigFree and wireless connection.
Try to reinstall it too.
Good luck

WRT610 wireless connection quit working

I just bought and installed a WRT610N for my wireless network. I have 5 laptops and a desktop running various OS, such as WXP, Vista Home, Vista Ult., etc. Also have a range expander. Everything was working last night. All with the same SSID's, all using the wireless WPA. Range expander was working Blue, Blue. Router was setup in default mode (Wi-Fi protected). This morning, the range expander was Red, Blue, and none of my wireless connections worked. I finally uninstalled the 610 setup software, reset, bebooted, you name it, and I still cannot get any wireless connection. I have wired connection, obviously, as I am writing this. I've about had it. Any thoughts here? Something I may be missing?

I am afriad, WRT610N is not compatible with WRE54G Range Expander...I wonder how both worked together...

I've got a problem getting my PC connected to the Pinnacl...

I've got a problem getting my PC connected to the Pinnacle Showcenter!
Situation:
* Windows XP sp2
* Panda IS 2008 (disabled when trying to get connection)
* Welk Lynksys WRT54GL
* DHCP enabled (192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.180)
* PC wired connection to router
* Pinnacle Showcenter 250 (I entered a static IP address 192.168.1.150 Subnet 255.255.255.0) wired connection to router.
I can't connect the Pinnacle Showcenter to my PC (Windows Mediaplayer 11) through the router when using a CAT5 cable. (I managed to get a wireless connection!)
As a rookie I mus be missing some settings but I've got no idea what. Gateway settings? DNS? Subnetmask?
Every little help is welcome.
Regards
Marc

On Pinnacle Showcenter use static Ip 192.168.150...subnet mask 255.255.255.0...with gateway 192.168.1.1 ...
From the status page of router .... use DNS numbers on the same ...
Check if you are able to connect to the application or not ...
