Problem setting up wireless

l set up wireless with a router supplied by my ISP which worked fine until l put the computer to sleep. When woken from sleep there was no internet connection.
If l shut down the computer and restart it, the internet connection is still there, so it's obviously a 'sleep' problem.
l have a relative who knows about computers, albeit PC's, set it up again and it was okay 'til woken from sleep. Thinking it might be the router l purchased a Time capsule, same thing happens.
l have a iMac 10.6.8
Any ideas what's causing this?
Looie.

It's okay, problem solved. Got in touch with Apple support for a second time and they've managed to get to the route of the problem. Took about an hour, but TC up and running and no problem with the 'sleep' issue.
Not something l could have managed on my own, so a big thumbs up for apple support on this ocassion.

Problems setting up wireless printing

I can set up to print from my laptop with a USB connection to the printer. I want to be able to print when away from my desk, so have tried for 2 years, on and off, to get my printer to print wirelessly. I've probably spent 10+ hours trying to get this set up. In the end, I always end up having to reinstall the printer with the same old USB connection.
This is driving me crazy. I'm a tech writer for a software company and am very computer savvy. Yet my non-techie family members have all managed to set up wireless printing at their homes in 5 minutes or less with different brands of printers.
Here are the steps I'm following, though I have also tried numerous variations, such as trying it with my USB cable connected vs. disconnected.
1) Uninstall current (USB) printer installation.
2) On the printer itself, verify that Settings > Network Settings are at the defaults.
3) Using most recent drivers and installation .exe from the HP website, start a new printer installation.
4) When prompted, select "wireless installation."
RESULT: Even though my firewall is OFF, it searches and says there are no printers on the network. (Huh? What network?)
5) Try again, and this time select "network installation."
RESULT: Even though my firewall is OFF, it searches and says it can't detect a network.
If wireless installation requires a network, but network installation does not cause a network to be installed, I'm not sure where to go from here.
6) I've also tried downloading and installing the ePrint utility, but when I get midway through the installation, it tells me it can't find my printer.
I'm suspicious that my model M1212nf MFP may not even allow wireless printing. Some info on the HP website says to check that a particular button lights up to show the printer is online. This light doesn't exist on my printer model. On the other hand, my physical printer's settings has settings like: "display IP address," etc., that would lead me to believe that it can operate wirelessly.
I have read all of the related HP printer help, and there is nothing that explains in simple language what types of cables I need to set up a network and/or wireless connection, when to plug them in, which installations to perform out of the many add-ons available, etc. I am sure this is a 5 minute process if there was just some good explanation in the UP help of how to do it. Assistance would be appreciated!

Hello @SKYdiz,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you have had issues for the last 2 or so years and spent multiple hours attempting to configure your HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer for wireless printing. At this point I'm going to offer some additional information on this matter. First, are you sitting down?
Unfortunately, the HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf Multifunction Printer is NOT a wireless model printer. The 'nf' at the end of the printer name stands for 'network, fax'. Therefore, while your printer is not wirelessly capable of connecting to your router, it CAN connect with an ethernet cable.
All you need to do is connect an ethernet cable from the rear of your printer into your router. Than any devices connected to that same router (either through wireless or wired ethernet connections) would be able to 'see' your printer on the network and print to your printer. For more information regarding the ethernet setup on your printer, please refer to: Setting Up the Printer for a Wired Network in Windows 7 for the HP LaserJet Printers.
Now if an ethernet connection does not work in your specific network configuration, than HP does manufacture other Laserjet models that do use the wireless feature. Here are two Laserjets that are black only, multifunction wireless units that are similar to your current model printer : HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw and HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw.
Please let me know if this clears up any confusion. Should you have any other questions or concerns I will be more than happy to assist you. Happy New Year!

Problem setting up Wireless with WAP54G

I am having trouble setting up my wireless network with my WAP54G access point. I have used this same router successfully before but now on my new network it gives me trouble.
I did a reset on my Access Point, Then the default setting is with a static IP address. I can just connect with the access point (wireless) with no problem. But when connected to the modem it doesn't give me internet...
Reading the manual of the modem it tells me that any router connected to the modem should be set to DHCP. So when I put the settings on my access point to DHCP (and change them on the network settings of my laptop) I cannot connect with the Accesspoint anymore..
Can anyone help me? am I just doing something stupid here?

Hi sdedmer. What is the make and model of your modem? Is it a modem-router-in-one or a gateway? If so, you may need to enable the DHCP of the device so it can provide IP addresses for multiple devices to connect wirelessly. The WAG54G is an access point. It can only provide wireless and Internet access to one device at a time. For this, you may need to purchase a wireless router if you want to connect multiple devices (wired or wireless) and extend the wireless range using the WAG54G.

Problem setting up wireless networking

I have an imac and a macbook and have just purchased a Netgear wireless router WGR614.
It was easy to get both machines connected to the internet. However, I would like two-way filesharing and am having more of a problem. I created a computer-to computer network and the macbook shows up fine in the imac's network window, and I can mount it on the desktop. But it won't work the other way: I can't mount the imac on the macbook's desktop, it just doesn't show up in the macbook's network window, nothing appears in that window. Entering the imac's IP address manually in the connect-to-server box on the macbook doesn't work either.
I'd also like to print from the macbook to the printer attached to the imac, but the lack of connection in that direction prevents this.
I have tried creating a computer-to computer network on the macbook, and trying things form that way round, but the result is the same. I have ticked all the right boxes in the sharing panel, of course.
imac Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Please elaborate on "computer-to-computer" network. A computer-to-computer network in wireless lingo means you created a secondary wireless network that is being broadcast from the computer it is created on. It's done by going under the AirPort menu and selecting "create network." If this is what you've done, it would explain the problem you are having. This network is independent from the one you have setup on the Netgear device and is not what you want. Make sure both computers you want to share files/printers between are on the Netgear wireless network and then go to the "Sharing" system preference and enable "Personal File Sharing" and "Printer Sharing." That should pretty much do it. Hope this helps.

Problems Setting up my wireless network with an Xb...

Hi, I have had some problems setting up my wireless networking.
I have everything switched on and am able to go online with the laptop and the Xbox with no problems but when I try to share media with the xbox I have problems.
I have opened the ports specified in the setup from xbox on windows firewall and have no problem connection Via Ethernet cable but when using wireless the xbox cannot detect the laptop.
I have checked the network map and both xbox and laptop are connected and have enabled sharing and am running sharing software.
Below is the network map.
I have also been having problems with BT software, the free virus protection will not install, The desktop help will not launch although it shows up on task manager and the installation disk does not launch correctly it doesn't get past the loading screen.
I have had a printer on the wireless network and had no problems printing.
If anyone knows how to resolve this please help.

I have this same Motorola modem and I just verified that my 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can get Internet access with this modem without any issues.
When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

I have problem setting up a new wireless keyboard and my new Mac mini

I have problem setting up a new wireless keyboard and my new Mac mini

Same with my new mac mini.
Got it brand new via the online shop.
Happy to start with the new mac i really got dissapointed by the fact that it`s impossible to pair the wireless keyboard unless you first connect a USB keyboard to the mac mini and start the configuration.
THIS S.U.C.K.S. !!!
No hint at all from apple that you first have to connect the USB keyboard.
I had to borrowed a USB keyboard from my neighbour :-((
After setting things up it was no problem at all to establish the BT connection with the keyboard.
Works fine now.

Mp 640 and big problems setting up a wireless network

I have the new i3 imac running snow leopard 10.6.5, and the mp 640.
I have spent the best part of two evenings trying to get the mp640 to set up wirelessly.
I have looked at this forum (among others) and followed the suggestions, and installed upteen drivers from the canon website, deleted old ones and reinstalled new ones and nothing seems to work. I`ve tried connecting the printer to the LAN and then clicking on software update in snow leopard but nothing comes up.
I have tried using the easy install function on the canon driver install. Have got to the point where the canon network assistant has started searching for wireless printers but it can not find it anywhere.
Bizarely if I quit the search and open the printers and faxes via system preferences and click on add printers voila there is the "Canon Mp640 series ---------" which I had been looking for all along. Unfortunately on clicking add, snow leopard does something strange, a box flashes down from the top pane saying configuring but it never actually finishes the process and never actually adds the printer.
Other problems I have been having are much the same as everyone else, after trying to add printers the MP640 bonjour scanner service is seen which doesn`t work either (which prompted me to try other things).
Ive tried installing the CUPS driver as well which didnt work and didnt let me look at the printer through the internet browser.
Ive followed the printer manual to a tee, time and time again but nothing seems to work. Im a 100% sure the printer is connected to the wireless LAN because I have printed out the network configuration page.
Im pretty sure the problem is with snow leopard, so if any one has any suggestions could you please let me know.

The MP640 features the ability to connect to your wireless router using the keypad on the printer instead of having to use the Mac or PC to run through the setup. Once the printer is connected to your wireless router then you install the printer driver and then add the queue. Reading your post it sounds like you are going to a lot of extra detail which is not needed.
You mention having the network configuration page from the MP640 which shows what IP address it has and if it is currently active and connected to your wireless network (the SSID name will be shown in the configuration). If the printer does have the correct IP address for your network and is active then you can open Print & Fax and select to Add. The MP640 will appear quickly, shown as Bonjour Scanner, which you also mentioned. But if you wait longer the MP640 should appear again, this time showing 'canonijnetwork' in the Kind column. When this happens, select it and the Print Using menu should automatically change to 'Canon MP640 series'. You can then click Add to complete the installation.
Does the printer component appear when you select to add? And if so, does the Print Using menu automatically select 'Canon MP640 series'?

Am having problems setting up the Deskjet J6450 wirelessly.

I am trying to diagnose a problem with the Deskjet J6450 printer to print wirelessly.
This printer worked fine for a couple of years. I have since purchased two Dell latitude Laptops (32 bit machines) that use Windows 7. The wireless printing was spotty at best and stopped working all together after a few months.
The drivers were installed and there was connection to the printer. However I had duplicate device icons on Printers and Devices and defaulted to the one that worked and deleted the other. This worked for a couple of months, until one printer job of 6 or more pages stalled and would not work after that.
I have purged the printer jobs, and also removed the device from the laptops. (I have not done anything to the printer itself).
I have since reinstalled the drivers for this printer and in setting up wirelessly, there claims to be a connection error.
I am remote supporting someone on this so I do not have access to the printer.
The users have at netgear WGR614v8 router.
One laptop worked for a month longer than the other, so I figured the problem is probably laptop specific. Now both laptops are having issues.
A) Does anyone have some info if the J6450 has problems with Windows 7, would there need to be a firmware update on the printer?
B) Can anyone identify this issue?

Download and run this utility: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-926&h_lang=en&h_client=s-h-e17-1&h_keyword=dg-NDU&ju...

Problems Setting up NFS

Hi.
I've been having problems setting up NFS on a LAN at home. I've read through all the Arch NFS-related threads and looked at (and tried some of) the suggestions, but without success.
What I'm trying to do is set up an NFS share on a wireless laptop to copy one user's files from the laptop to a wired workstation. The laptop is running Libranet 2.8.1. The workstation is running Arch Linux with the most up-to-date (as of today) software, including NFS.
I have the portmap, nfslock, and nfsd daemons running via rc.conf, set to run in that order.
I've re-installed nfs-utils and set up hosts.deny as follows:
# /etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL
# End of file
and hosts.allow as follows:
# /etc/hosts.allow
ALL: 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0
ALL: LOCAL
# End of file
In other words, I want to allow access on the machine to anything running locally or on the LAN.
I have the shared directories successfully exported from the laptop (192.168.0.3), but I have not been able to mount the exported directories on the workstation (192.168.0.2).
The mount command I'm using at the workstation:
mount -t nfs -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192 192.168.0.3:/exports /exports
There is an /exports directory on both machines at root with root permissions. There is an /etc/exports file on the NFS server machine that gives asynchronous read/write permissions to 192.168.0.2 for the /exports directory.
I receive the following message:
mount: RPC: Program not registered
This appears to be a hosts.allow/hosts.deny type problem, but I can't figure out what I need to do to make RPC work properly.
Some additional information, just in case it's helpful:
This is the result if running rpcinfo:
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100024 1 udp 32790 status

Running ps shows that the following processes are running:

Thanks for any help here!

Hi ravster.
Thanks for the suggestions. I had read the Arch NFS HowTo and did as you suggested get rcpinfo for the server machine. The Libranet NFS server is configured rather different since the NFS daemons are built into the default kernel.
Since I needed to complete the transfer immediately, I gave up for now trying to set up NFS and used netcat (!) instead to transfer the files from the Libranet laptop to the Arch workstation. The laptop will be converted to Arch Linux soon so I think I'll be able to clear things up soon. I haven't had any problems setting up NFS with homogeneous (i.e., all Arch or all Libranet) computer combinations.
Thanks again.

Problems setting up WRT54G2 router

I'm having problems setting up my Linksys WRT54G2 router. I want my mac laptop (iBook G3 running OSX) to use a wireless connection, and the home computer (running Windows XP) to stay connected to the modem.
I originally tried to set up the router by connecting it via ethernet to my laptop (and by ethernet to the modem), and went into the 192.168.1.1 address to configure it. The internet works fine on my laptop when connected to the wireless by ethernet but it can't connect wirelessly (it has an original airport card fitted, at first I thought I might need to upgrade the firmware but I ran a software update and one didn't come up). I then realised that I would need to MAC clone from the PC, that is connected to the modem? I tried to do this today, but I couldn't access the 192.168.1.1 address from the PC. I have tried resetting the router, and disabling the firewall but still can't access it. This PC also has anti-virus software running too - could this be the problem, or am I setting it up wrong? Thanks.

If you are trying to Setup your Router with the setup disk, Then you can exit from the setup and configure your Router manually. Before you configure your router, you need to Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 60 seconds and re-connect the power cable.....
You need to connect your Modem to Linksys Router on Internet Port and your Computer to Linksys Router on Port No.1.
If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
Here are the Wireless Settings which you can set on your router, once done you can try connecting your MAC computer to your Wireless network and check if you are Online from MAC computer.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
-Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Wide-40MHz and change the Wide channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on save settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select AES...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

JDeveloper problem setting up a database connection

I am having some problem setting up a connection to my database. Before I say any more let me explain what I need. I need 2 database connections 1 to a 10g R3 database and one to an 8.0.5.
I do realize that JDeveloper will only connect back to 8.1.7 because of the JDBC version that is installed with it.
What I really need to know is "Is it possible to define and use 2 different versions of JDBC" I really don't want to move back to the version that works with both because I am afraid of what performance/benefits I will lose from the latest and greatest.
The latest version that I can determine will work with 8.0.5 is the last version for 9i.
Any Ideas would be helpful.
The reason for this situation is that I have a production database that I will have to keep up with until the full version of the system is complete so that is why I even care about 8.0.5.
Thanks alot for your time,
Thom

I have a similar problem and I would much appreciate any help in this matter.
I have a wireless network set at home with two computers connected to it:
My workstation called Home-ws and my laptop called Acer. I can access the d:\ drive of my workstation from my laptop without any problem.
On my workstation I installed the Oracle 10g product and on my laptop I installed Oracle SQL Developer. On SQL developer I am trying to create a connection to the Oracle server:
My settings are as below:
Connection name: orcl_system
User name: system
Password: ******
Host name: Home-ws
Port: 1521
SID: orcl
When I push test I am getting the following error message:
Status: Failure –Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
Are there any special settings that should be made set up a wireless connection to my database?
Then I did the following things below:
1. I downloaded from oracle.com the instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.2-20060508.zip file and unzipped it in a folder called instantclient_10_2. There were a number of DLL and two jar files plus sqlplus.exe
2. I started sqlplus from that server
3. sqlplus failed with a similar error as sql developer.
4. I checked for tnsping. There is no tnsping such and exe on my laptop. I looks like I have to install the DLLs I downloaded them but there are no instructions about how to install them. Should I just copy them in system32 folder?
5. I looked for firewalls on my Home-ws workstation (where my oracle server is installed) and on my Acer laptop. The firewalls were activated. I added on exception called oracle for port 1521 on both computers and tried to connect again. I tried with both TCP and UDP options and it did not work in both cases.
I am out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Trouble setting up wireless printing between my Macbook Pro w. Mountain Lion 10.8.1 and my HP C4780 Printer

Hi all,
I'm having a frustrating problem trying to set up the wireless printing between my Macbook Pro 13" to my HP C4780 printer. I had no problem installing and configuring this before on my previous computer, a Macbook. However, when I got my new computer (the Macbook Pro), my wireless network wont show up when I try and install the wireless capability during the printer setup. I had to buy a new router and set up a new network around the time I got my new computer, so I wonder if this has something to do with it. My wireless network is a WPA/WPA2 personal, but so was my old wireless network with the old router and I didn't have a problem installing the wireless. I thought I might not have had the most up-to-date driver for the printer software, but I do. So, i'm stuck! Any thoughts??

Go here and download all the manuals and read them on how to set up your printer.

Need Help setting up wireless router

Hi, ive spent the week on the phone trying to reach all the various technical support people to help me, and getting no where, i wait forever and then get dropped.
I just got time warner cable in NYC (queens) and the modem and internet surfing works fine if I use a USB cable from the modem to my computer, the problem is the ethernet doesnt work, and I dont have drivers for ethernet, but im more interested in setting up wireless from the modem, to the wireless router to my computer with the wireless card.
I accidently installed some kind of microsoft tcp/ip thingy when surfing around my computer trying to fix this and now I cant use the wireless router and card.
I dont want to spend hours on the phone in a tech support message maze, so please help me thru PM.
Mark
please PM me
(Edited for guideline compliance. Thanks!)
Message Edited by JOHNDOE_06 on 07-15-2007 12:16 PM

Hi Mark, first off let me know are you able to go online directly with the modem, if computer is connected directly to the ethernet port of modem? if not, i think ethernet port of the modem is not working or may be it's defective or drivers for ethernet adapter is not installed , as you've mentioned you can able to go online with the USB cable, once computer is connnected directly to the USB port of modem...unless and untill ethernet port on the modem is not working you won't be able to configure the wireless router... router doesn't have USB port on it... anyways connect modem to the ethernet port of the router >> computer (wireless), reset the router back to factory default settings by pressing reset button on the back panel of the router... release the reset button after 30 seconds, power cycle the network by unplugging power cable of the modem and router... wait for couple of minutes and power up the modem first and wait for few seconds once modem is rebooted, after that power up the router, check the light status power, WLAN and internet light on the router should be on... try connecting to "linksys" wireless n/w from wireless pc...check whether it works or not and let me know...
