Problem trying to replace WRT54G with WRT120N

Hi,
OK here is my challenge.
I have had a home network based around a WRT54G V2 running very successfully for a number of years.The 54G has a couple of PCs and a network printer plugged in directly and also links to a Dell notebook which has a G network card built in.
I decided to upgrade to N so as a first step purchased the WRT120N. I replaced the 54G and all the plugged in devices worked fine but I couldn't get the Dell PC to link wirelessly. I have tried a number of tests and the following summarise the overall position:
The Dell notebook will link to the 54G but not the 120N (both set up the same as far as I can see)
Another notebook and a desktop both with built in wireless cards both link to the 120N no problem
I even tried plugging in an old Linksys G USB network adapter to the Dell and it still wouldn't connect to the 120N
I have tried WEP, WPA, WPA2 and even no security still to no avail
I have tried both manual set up and WFi Protected SetUp. With the latter the exchange for password etc proceeds fine but at the very end it comes up with the message "Failed to get the wireless settings" (this from Intel ProSet on the notebook although it also fails using Windows XP to manage the connection)
I've also tried various other things such as disabling firewalls etc (although I don't know why this would impact the 120N and not the 54G).
If the Dell didn't connect with the 54G then I would have thought the problem was with the internal network card but since it does I am getting really stuck.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try please?
Many thanks,
Graham

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have actually now just solved this problem. Although I tried searching the forum I didn't find anything that helped me but then in a round about way found a thread that talked about a particular Intel wireless cad (2200BG) that had problems with the 120N. I had a look on my notebook and sure enough that was the card in the machine.
So, at the end of the day, the answer was to upgrade the 120N router firmware and upgrade the Intel driver software. For good meaure I also upgraded the Intel PROSet software as well.
End result, all now play happily together.
Thanks again for taking teh time to reply.
Cheers,
Graham

Replaced WRT54G with WRT120N, same settings, no DSL?

Hello. Thanks for looking at my problem...
My setup:
1 DSL model
1 WRT120N
1 PC via Ethernet
1 Laptop via Ethernet
1 PS3 via wireless
My DSL modem works fine without the router. I can connect directly to the modem and the internet works. When I connect the computers over the router, they cannot recieve internet. I believe that at one point I was able to get the computers to talk to eachother, though.
As you can guess, I want this router to take my dsl and pass it to all my computers. I had this previous setup functioning with my WRT54G. With the WRT120N, I've copied the settings from the old router as best as I could. I've included all the settings that seem relevant; I did not include the wireless settings because the internet doesn't even work through ethernet. But I will post those too if you need them.

As your Internet Service Provider is DSL follow this link to configure the router.

Replace WRT54G with WRT120N

Are there any prerequisites to installing the new router? Such as uninstalling the old one first. If so, please, please tell me where/how to begin. Am most anxious to get this done. TIA

Router is standalone device.Do not run the CD to configure the router.Simply connect the Modem to the Router on the Internet Port and Computer to the Router on the Ethernet Port...Open the linksys setup page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and configure the router as per the ISP settings..

Problem trying to use replaceAll with url string

Can anyone give me some quick advice on how to replace part of a url? I'm trying replaceAll but I'm getting errors. My code is below. Thanks.

Argh! Trying to Replace Linksys with New Airport Extreme...

Been fighting with this for hours...about ready to take the new Airport Extreme back ...Here's the deal:
I currently have a very wired and wireless 2story home professinally set up with 2 Linksys devices as the primary network and a couple previous generation airport expresses as extenders.   Due to video, audio and other systems the primary router for the network/WAN closet out in the garage needs to remain on the primary Linksys (non wifi) router. I want to replace the Linksys Wifi router (see below) that is puposely set up and has worked for several years as a double NAT config with the new Airport Extreme but i have tried duplicatiing the exact configs from the Linksys router and all the various ways you can use the Airport Express in DHCP/NAT and even in Bridge mode and it still wont work! I've never considered Linksys software easier (and definately more flexible and informative) to use than Apple until this experience! Very frustrating.... I'm being very explicit and using the typical Linksys config profiles below so as to hopefully help you translate this into specific configs i can wrangle into the Airport Extreme to make it work like the
Current Primary Network:
Current WAN Router / + 24 Port Switched LAN Network (for wired ethernet access ports used throughout house) > Linksys BEFSX41 + Linksys 24 port Switch locted in a custom built data /video / audio closet in garage
WAN IP: DHCP
LAN IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Current WiFI Network > Linksys WRT160Nv2 (currently conected to the 24port switch via a hardwired ethernet wall port upstairs in my office)
Internet Connection Type: Static IP
WAN IP: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
LAN IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Per config notes from the network engineer who i worked with to build this network when i built the house
"this allows the 192.168.0.x wifi device to successfully route to the 192.168.1.x wired router (and vice versa)"
My goal is to replace the Linksys WRT160Nv2 with the new Airport Extreme (whose range and ability to reach both upsatirs and outside to the beach is MUCH better) and locate it DOWNSTAIRS and connect it in the same way as the Linksys (via an ethernet port in the living room) to the same switch / router in the data closet.
I have tried to set up the new Airport Extreme to replicate this config several different ways both bridged and not bridged (including telling it to ignore the double NAT warning) with the latest.   I am pretty sure non-bridged is the right way to do it but i seem to lack a config parameter to tell the Airport Extreme to replicate the equivalent of the WRT160Nv2 settings despite trating all the submenues and options on the airport extreme set up / Airport Utility App. Do i have to telnet directly into the Airport Extreme config files to do this natively? Help!
PS - no i cannot / will not put the Airport Extreme in to replace the primary Linksys router in the data closet - there is no way it will fit or that its wifi could penetrate the EMI and insulation of all the other electronics in the data closet out in the garage and get a good connection into the house

The trick on the airport extreme is to change the DHCP .. when you change the DHCP it changes the actual IP of the AE..
So go to the setup and open the dhcp, in the network options and you can select by arrow the first two octets and replace the third.
I just posted info on this in another post..
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5134560?tstart=30
Does this answer your question, as I am a bit unclear otherwise??
I have to say I do not like using double NAT.. it is becoming worse and worse as the amount of material on the internet that requires interactive connection increases.. you block so much by doing this.. double NAT is an issue .. not just ignore the warning.
There is no reason why you need double NAT.. you should have a single flat network. If you need to keep some things isolated from others the correct way to do it is vlan.. but you will need a better router than the old linksys to do it. And possibly a managed switch. Nowadays a managed 24 port gigabit switch is not a bad price at all.

Firefox crashed. tried to delete old to install new. won't delete. tried to replace old with new, but tells me i need to close it first but it's not open

Fire fox crashed. I deleted it and installed new version, it worked fine. Got an email with possible virus, so system restored to an earlier date. When I did this, it brought back the old firefox. I tried to delete it, but it won't delete. When I tried to download new version to replace old version, it says I have to close firefox first, but it's not open. What do I do now?

Hi jposes
Before installing the new firefox go to Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Supr), go to the Processes tab and search for any "firefox.exe" (or firefox.exe*32), give a right click and select "End Process Tree". This should be enough to let you install the new FireFox.
Take care and hope this had been useful to you.

Problem trying to update book with Producer

I found a typo in my book and I wanted to upload a corrected version. Everything works fine in iBooks Author, but then when it opens producer I noticed that the title is incomplete and has odd spacing. So I fixed that and made all entries and then when I hit submit I get an error message telling me the file can't be changed because it has been changed by another application. I have no idea what, if anything, I am doing wrong.

you should check out packer or bauerbill, yaourt isn't maintained and there are a lot of problems with it

Problem trying to Catalog/Move with PSE 7.

I'm running PSE 7 on Windows XP with SP3.
I want to move my catalog from the current location (my internal hard drive) to
a new location (an external hard drive).
I did a Help/System Info to get the current catalog directory.
I checked that directory to see if there were any images in it. There are none.
I have a 137MB thumb.5.cache, a 24MB catalog.pse7db, and a 7MB itemData.mk4
along with some other smaller files. (I only have one Catalog).
I do File/Catalog.
Catalogs Accessible by All Users is clicked.
There is one entry in the List Box - Photoshop Elements 7 Catalog (Current).
I select that entry and the actions buttons on the right are enabled.
I click Move.
I get a Move Catalog window.
Catalogs Accesible by All Users is selected.
But the OK button is disabled.
If I click Catalogs Accessible by the Current User then the OK button is Enabled.
I click that. Then I get back to Catalog Manager with the Catalogs Accessible by Current User button clicked
this time.
If I click Move this time, I again get the Move Catalog window but this time the button
Catalogs Accessible by Current User is highlighted. And the OK button is disabled.
Well, I didn't understand what was happening in this dialog.
So I thought I'd better ask before trying anything else.
Thanks for any ideas!

Let's go step by step through that second set of instructions. Here are screen shots of what happens when I move a catalog named "Test" that's starting out in the location Catalogs Accessible By All Users (after doing the first set of instructions). If you don't see similar screens, perhaps you can describe exactly where it goes different.
After doing File > Catalog, the Catalog Manager window looks like:
After step 1. Select Custom Location:
After step 2. Click the Browse button and select the destination location for the catalog. I'm selecting an external drive G:
After clicking the OK button:
Note that it now says G:\ underneat Custom Location.
After step 3. Select the current location of the catalog: All Users:
Note that you also need to click on the catalog name ("Test" here) to allow the Move button to be clicked.
After step 4. Click the Move button:
After step 5. Select Custom Location:
After step 6. Click OK:
The catalog Test is now in the custom location G:\.

Need valuable guidance to make a peformance oriented query, trying to replace unions with analytical function

Hi,
   Please find below table structure and insert scritps. Requesting for vluable help.
create table temp2 (col1 number,col2 varchar2(10),col3 number,col4 varchar2(20));
insert into temp2 values (1,'a',100,'vvv');
insert into temp2 values (2,'b',200,'www');
insert into temp2 values (3,'c',300,'xxx');
insert into temp2 values (4,'d',400,'yyy');
insert into temp2 values (5,'e',500,'zzz');
insert into temp2 values (6,'f',600,'aaa');
insert into temp2 values (7,'g',700,'bbb');
insert into temp2 values (8,'h',800,'ccc');
I am trying to get same output, what we get from below UNION query with ANALYTICAL Function.
select * from temp2 where col1 in (1,2,3,4,5)
union
select * from temp2 where col1 in (1,2,5,6)
union
select * from temp2 where col1 in (1,2,7,8);
I am seeking help by this dummy example to understand the concept, how can we use analytical functional over UNION or OUTER JOINS.
In my exact query, I am using same table three times adding UNION clause. here also we scan temp2 three times, so for bulky tables using 'union' would be hampering query's performance
It means i go with three time scans of same table that is not performance oriented. With the help of above required concept, i will try to remove UNIONs from my exact query.
Thanks!!

Thanks for your time BluShadow and sorry as i think i couldn't make my query clear.
I try it again. Below there are three queries, you may see all three queries are using same tables. Difference in all three queries are just few conditions, which makes all three queries diff with each other.
I know, u cant run below query in your database, but i think it will convey my doubt to you. I have mentioned no. of rows with each clause and total i am getting 67 rows as my output. (Reason may be first n third query's result set are the subset of Second Query dataset)
So i want to take all common rows as well as additional rows, if present in any of the query. This is getting easliy done with UNION clause but want to have it in other way as here my same is getting scanned again n again.

Problems trying to animate ball with Timer

I trying to animate my ball. I just want it to move up but am having problems when trying to compile. I am getting 3 errorsin fact:
C:\prog1\project_game\GameScreen2.java:24: illegal start of expression
     public void paintComponent(Graphics graphics) {
^
C:\prog1\project_game\GameScreen2.java:35: ';' expected
C:\prog1\project_game\GameScreen2.java:35: '}' expected
The last two errors refere to the final line.
Any help to fix these errors would be great. Here is my code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.border.Border;
// paints GolfCourse and DistanceBar
class GameScreen2 extends JPanel implements ActionListener {
     GolfCourse gc;
     Ball b;
     Timer timer = null;
     public GameScreen2(){
          /* game loop, freeze timer, computer game actions, start timer.*/
          timer = new Timer(40, new ActionListener() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                    timer.start();
                    b.move();
                    repaint();
       public void paintComponent(Graphics graphics) {
         Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D) graphics;
         super.paintComponent(g); //paint background
          GolfCourse gc = new GolfCourse();
          Ball b = new Ball();
          gc.drawCourse(g);
          b.drawBall(g);
   }

The only place I feel may require an extra brace is at the end of the constructor. If I add one there I get the following error:
C:\prog1\project_game\GameScreen2.java:8: GameScreen2 is not abstract and does not override abstract method actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent) in java.awt.event.ActionListener
class GameScreen2 extends JPanel implements ActionListener {

Trying to replace BEFW11S4 with new WRT110

I have Time Warner Roadrunner cable, RCA cable modem, BEFW11S4 wireless broadband router, 1 wired computer, 2 wireless (802.11b) computers.
This Christmas we got 2 new notebook computers w/ Vista. We couldn't get either one to connect to the wireless with faster than dial-up speeds, and were advised to get a new router that would work with Vista. I picked up the WRT110 today, it seemed like a good basic router and got good reviews.
Browsing the support sight tonight I see that the WRT110 is not in the list of products tested to work with Vista. Should I take it back and swap for one of the products listed to work with Vista?
The BEFW11S4 was set up with its default settings, and worked fine. I went through the CD that came with the WRT110 and let it do the setup. I couldn't get it to connect to the internet, even with a wired computer. I switched back and forth between the 2 routers, reset everything, the old one would work, the new one when configured exactly the same would not. Strangely though about the 5th time I plugged in the WRT110 and reset it, it let the wired computer connect. I turn on the 2 new Vista laptops and they connect to the router, but report "limited connectivity" and do not have any connection to the internet. With the old router they would connect to the internet, they would just connect at a very slow speed. I've read a lot in this forum and the only things I've seen that might apply to me are to change MTU and to change the wireless channel. Any other suggestions? Is there something else I've overlooked? Is this a Vista problem and not a router configuration problem?

Your router will definitely work with Vista...
You need to adjust the Wireless Settings on your router...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page.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 configuratioon...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 Standard-20MHz and change the standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...
- And 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 WEP, Encryption should be 64 bits.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network.Now try if you could see the Wireless Network Name/SSID and try to connect...
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...

HT201269 problem transferring music - replaced 4S with same model

my music did not dowload to my new phone when I used itunes to transfer the to replacement phone i was sent. how do you fix this? where did the music go and how do you download it?

Hello, LIGirl12.
Thank you for the question. The first thing you want to do is check your music library in iTunes to see if your media is present. If this media is there, then you can sync it back to the device. I have attached an article that shows you how to syncing this media to your iPhone. If the media is not present, you can download any past purchases to the computer by following the second article below.

Replace WRT54 with WRT600N, xp-vista problem

In the wired network are: XP (host) 1Vista 32 and 1 Vista 64.
With WRT54GS everything worked fine. I replaced WRT54GS with WRT600N. The VISTA32 and XP are working finne. The VISTA 64 does not see the router as computer anymore and also does not see the XP computer. The XP can not access the VISTA64.
Any ideas?

Problem solved, The security settings in Norton detected that the router did change and prohibited the see and access.
BTW, if you have similar problems you can call up the drive attached to the router by entering \\WRT600N and see it, than map it. You mostlikely will have to enter the access user and password (default admin and admin if not changed)
Everything works fine now.

I'm not able to pair my iPad with my Logitech mini-Boombox. I was able to do this on my original iPad. I was having a problem on an unrelated matter, and the Apple store replaced it with a new device. Previously, all Bluetooth devices worked fine;

I'm not able to pair my iPad via Bluetooth with my Logitech mini-Boombox. I recently brought my iPad to the Apple Store for an unrelated problem, and they replaced it with a new device. The old device had no problem pairing with any of my Bluetooth devices. I'm only haveing the problem with my new device. I was able to pair it with my Apple wireless keyboard, but not the mini-Boombox. I think I've done everything that I've read in other forum posts: I've toggled the Bluetooth setting on and off; I've reset the iPad a couple times; I've turned off and on the mini-Boombox; I've recharged the mini-Boombox. What am I missing here, and how can I fix this?

I got a replacement Iphone5 from Apple. I went home and tried to synced it with ITunes but said to register as a new device to do update then I can restore old back up, now can't back up old phone info and can't activate my Apple ID for iMessage

Can you clarify your problem? Are you having trouble restoring your new iPhone from a previous phone's backup? Or are you having trouble logging into iMessage?
