Problems adding second laptop to network

Hi,
I just bought a Linksys WRT54GS router and followed the setup instructions to get my first laptop up and running wirelessly. I had to use the linksysfix.com site, but everything works great. Now I want to add another laptop. I go to the linksysfix.com site and run the easylink connect and select the option to add another computer. It instructs me to connect the second laptop to the router using a second ethernet cable. The trouble is, I have no internet connection through the cable. Do I need to run the installation disk for the router on this computer too? The second laptop will connect fine to a different LAN.

You should also check your notebook's TCP settings. It may have been set to manual parameters which may not be compatible with your WRT54GS.

Need help adding second laptop to network

Please help. I am so frustrated. I setup our new gateway wirelessly using the WRT160N router. Had to call the help line and they helped me go online and configure the router settings. Now I am trying to add a second older laptop (HP Pavilion ZE4400). When I use the disc to install the router info, it stops after it says waiting for the router. Then I get an error message telling me to restore the router to it's default settings. I don't want to undo all that I did with support on the phone. It took forever. Why can I not install the router software on the HP? Can someone help me fix this problem?
Thanks in advance

If your router is already configured then,do not run the CD on the computer to connect the Wireless Network...Make sure that wi-fi switch is turn ON.
For XP...Click on Start and goto the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, Right click on the Wireless Network Connection and click on View Available Wireless Networks and select your Wireless Network and click Connect...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.
For Vista...Click Start >> Control Panel >> Network and Sharing Center >>Click on Connect to a Network and select your Wireless Network and click Connect, it should ask for your Network Key/Password, enter the correct password/network key and click Connect...It should connect...Once you are connected you should restart the computer, it should connect to Internet...

Help adding second Wi-Fi network on same AP

I am looking for assistance in trying to setup a second wireless network so we would have two SSID’s (one for public and one for private users).
Our network is setup with native VLAN1 for wired computers and VLAN107 for wireless computers and everything is working great. I’m trying to add VLAN110 as the additional wireless network.
We are using a Cisco WLC2112 and 12 Cisco LAP1131 access points for the wireless network.
The wired network us using Cisco 3500 series POE switches and a Cisco 1800 series router.
The ports on the switch that connect to the AP’s are configured as follows:
switchport access vlan 107
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
I’m having trouble getting my head around how to setup the second wireless network on its own VLAN (VLAN110), while still using the existing access points. I have added the additional wireless network on the WLC2112, have setup a DHCP server for the new VLAN, but it’s getting an IP address from the same scope as VLAN107.
Where do I configure the new VLAN information on the wireless controller?
Should the ports on the switch that are connected to the AP’s be changed to trunk ports to accommodate both VLANs?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

HI Mark,
1.You need to create a dynamic interface on WLC.
Controller>Interface> click on New, enter interface(e.g. private) and Vlan ID:110 and apply.
Interface >edit page will appears, then u can enter network , mask and DHCP server address...etc.
2. Now you need to create a WLAN.
WLAN> create New, enter profile name , ssid and Wlan ID here then clcik on apply WLAN>edit page will appear.
Staus should be enable
Choose the right dynamic interface , which we created in step 1.
Chosse specifiy Security and other feature.
3.Configure swicth port for vlan 107 , 110 where WLC is connected.
I hope AP are in same network as your Management interafce of WLC.
Regards

Added second laptop to home network and first laptop connection GONE

Help! I have a WRT54G2 v1.5 wireless-G broadban router set up on my hard-wired computer (XP) and had my new Sony Vaio laptop (Windows 7) connected wirelessly. Everything worked great! Then, yesterday, I added a Dell laptop to the network and my Sony got kicked off the network. I have tried to "add a device" but when I click on the link to do that from Network Magic, I get an error page on the Internet. I saw that someone else had a connection problem so I read the answer posted to their question and clicked on the link and again, get an Internet error. I am connected to the Internet: I checked! What is going on? I need the Dell laptop on the network as it is my new laptop for my job. Help!

Let mw know the model number of router …also tell me the Operating system on laptop.

Problems Adding Second MSAD Directory

All,
We are switching Active Directories. Users will be switching from the old directory to the new one of over the next couple of months. I successfully made the change in our development environment (9.2), however, I am having issues in our production environment (9.3.1).
I followed the instructions on how to add a new MSAD in shared services and was able to do this. I also added it to the search order, and then stopped and restarted all Hyperion Services. I am able to find a user in the New AD and add them to our provisioning groups (Native Directory), however, now I cannot refresh shared services through EAS. I keep getting this error:
+Error: 1051502: Analytical Services failed to get roles list for [ESB:Analytic Servers:usnbkb121p:1] from Shared Services Server with Error [LDAP porvider could not be contacted.]+
I also went to the SharedServices_Security.log, and found the following info:

Any help is appreciated.

I am brining this back up to the top. It looks like the error in the Shared Services log has been going on for quite some time, so I don't think that is in issue with this instance.
I opened a ticket with Oracle, but of course, the response was to make that I stopped and restarted all services (like I hadn't already thought of that one).
Any ideas are appreciated.

Apple Airport Express and PC Laptops - Wireless Network Help

Hello all,
I have two Wi-Fi enabled laptops running Windows XP, an Apple Airport Express unit and a Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router.
At present the DG-632 is running in modem mode and is connected to one laptop using the ethernet connection. The Netgear DG-632 Modem/Router has one ethernet connection and one USB connection.
My understanding is that if i run one laptop off the USB connection on the Modem/Router and connect the the DG-632 to the ethernet connection then the laptop on USB has to be turned on for the second laptop to access the wireless network.
Assuming the above is true (i am very likely wrong), it would be nice if both laptops were able to access the internet wirelessly via the Airpot Express Unit.
However, being a complete novice at networking, i am little confused about how to do this?
Any help, tutorials or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'm new. I have a Dell Laptop XP and my wife has a
dell desktop XP . I have DSL with a Linksys wireless
router. After many hours on the phone I was able to
get the ineternet set up for me and my wife.
After all this I found that my Airport Express system
couldn't connect to my stereo. It seems that the
router wireless connection pays no attention to
Airport. Apple says that they could set up another
wireless system to work for Itunes by using my
wireless card in the Laptop.
But... I can't listen to the music and surf the net
at the same time. A linksys person has tried to allow
Linksys to accept and proper installation to the
router. I tried is but it didn't work.

Sort of new here and to the AE, but have a Dell Desktop and Tosbiba laptop both running XPHome SP2, and on dialup
The Linksys router is hooked to the desktop with an ethernet cable. In the office.
The AE is in the living room and works great for surfing and ITunes.
The only way I could get my AE to work as an access point for dialup and stream ITunes from the laptop to the home theater was to use the setup found here.

The only problem I had with the setup was do not use the $ when entering the password. And had to use a proxy server on the desktop for sharing the dialup. LOL no hope of any broadband here.
Hope this is some help.

Adding SG300 to exisiting network

I am not an expert in the network field.
About a year ago, I upgraded old network equipment with Cisco 2950 and 2960's to get some consistency in house.
We are about to switch over to a VOIP system, and we decided to replace all switches with Cisco Small Business SG300 POE to make like simpler, and hopefully faster.
Problem is, we give it an IP address, rename the switch and have updated to the newest firmware. We plug it in, and in seconds, it shuts down my network.
When I look at the log, we get a native VLAN mismatch, then Loopback error.
Obviously I need some more basic configuration. I assumed I would just be able to plug these in and swap similar to the way I upgraded my 2960's.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
SG300 series switches have all the default settings to simplify voice and data network implementation but...
if you are adding to Cisco enterprise network there are several things which needs to be consider:
1. PVST is not supported ad only common STP is MSTP
2. VTP is not supported so all the trunks needs to be configured one by one manually
3. when setting up access port for desktop+phone on SG300 port needs to be in trunk mode and data vlan set as native and auto-voice vlan enabled
If you still have some problem we would really need to look at your topology and devices interaction in details and I would recommend you to open ticket with Cisco Small Business Support team:

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.

Problem adding HP J6400 all-in-one printer

We have an HP Officejet J6400 all-in-one printer here at work, and all of our computers have had no problem adding this printer except one: an older iMac, PowerMac 6.1 (with the white domed base). The driver is installed, and the computer sees the driver, but when I click to add it eventually it gives me this error:
"An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. client-error-not-authorized"
I was on the phone with HP for an hour and they couldn't figure it out on their end. Has anyone had a similar problem, or have a solution?

Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

How to use a second laptop with my old router

Hello, I'm trying to use a second laptop with my old router (model BEFW11S4 v.2) for a work project. I've tried two diff computers and neither will connect, each giving different error messages. The work laptop I have right now will hook up to an unsecured network and will ask me for a network key for other detected secured networks, but tells me to refresh and search for networks again when I try to hook up to my network. My personal laptop hooks up to the internet just fine. Help! Mo

Problem deleting pdf files on network ressources when preview window of the explorer is enabled

Some of our customers have the Preview Function enabled in Windows Explorer. When they delete a pdf File on a network ressource (\\server1\share1\ for example) in Windows Explorer the file disappears, but will not be deleted immediately. After a refresh of the current explorer window, the file apperas again. After 30-60 seconds and a refresh of the Windows Explorer View, the file disappears definitely.
The problem exists only on various network ressources and when the Preview Function of the Windows Explorer is enabled. On local drives the pdf Files will be deleted immediately and don't appear again. With any other file types except pdf, there is no problem.
Problem exists on 32 and 64 Bit Windows 7, all current security Updates installed. Current Version of Adobe Reader X is also installed.
Anyone have an idea?

Disable the preview function of Windows Explorer.

Need help adding 2nd laptop to router WRT160N

I need to add another laptop to our home network so it can connect to our internet connection. The 2nd laptop shows our home network as an available network connection, however, when I try to connect and enter in the key, the computer gives me a message "please wait while windows connects to the xxxxxx network- waiting for the network" This message stays for approximately 45 seconds then disappears, leaving me at the wireless network connection screen. I have confirmed the network key is correct.
I can connect to the internet if I choose an unsecure connection so I am wondering what other items I need to configure.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, those sound like they should be compatible security modes.
What I'd suggest is to reboot your second laptop and power-cycle the router, see if that helps you to be able to connect both laptops.
If that doesn't help, then write down any configuration data that you'll need to re-enter after resetting the router. There's a recessed reset switch on the back of your router, hold that in for about 30 seconds and release it. This will set the router back to factory defaults, so you'll need to re-enter your configuration data using the router web GUI. Then try again to reconnect with both laptops, and see what happens. Please post the results from trying these.

Issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010)

Since I got a new PC (Windows 7), I'm having an issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010).
It doesn’t happen every time, but randomly with many presentations...
In PowerPoint, right after I import audio (through Presenter) and click “ok”, I get the following errors:
Then, I can't get into the "import/sync/edit" mode, from the Presenter tab...
Already tried reinstalling Presenter, resaving new presentations, deleting the .ppcx/audio folders, importing the audio locally (vs from my network drive), etc.
Then sometimes, randomly, it will let me get back in and edit the audio, after numerous attempts…?!? I can't figure out what the pattern is, which is causing this new problem (never had this problem before, w/ my old PC - Win XP / PowerPoint 2003 / Presenter 6 & 7)
Anybody have an idea what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Mike P.

Hello,
I tried to reproduce this issue but I am not getting any error message. Please provide us following information; this might help to reproduce this issue:-
1) You are seeing this issue in PPT or PPTX
2) You seeing this issue in newly created presentations or its just old presentation which is not working properly.
3) OS and PowerPoint version
4) If this issue is consistent on any particular presentation then please share it.
5) Can we have exact reproducible steps

Problem adding elements to a group after removing everything...

Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate some help on something. I have a Group that has some Buttons in it. This Group is in one of fours States, and there is a componant for each State. After the user goes through the rest of the program and comes back to this State, I want to remove the old buttons, and add new buttons with new values. Bascially, I want to refresh the componant when it is visited a second time. I have a problem adding new Buttons to the group when the user revisits the componant / state.
The group is created:
          <s:VGroup id="buttons" x="0" y="35" height="400" width="280" />
When the init function for that componant is called, buttons are added from an array of buttons:
for(var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++){
          var button:Button = questions[i];
          trace(button);
          button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myEventHandler);
          trace(buttons);
          buttons.addElement(button);
When the user moves on to the next State, the buttons are removed:
if(counter == 4){
          buttons.removeAllElements();
          FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.currentState = 'Summary';
When the user comes back to the initial state, the buttons are not added to the Group like they are the first time. The output of the trace as each button is added is also different the second time:
First time: (successful)
Main.MainBackground2.contentGroup.gameComp.buttons
button8
Second time:
buttons
button8
Can anyone point me in the right direction? And better question, is there a better way I should be doing this?
Is there a better way to refresh everything within a component upon viewing it s second time?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure why you are using addElement() to add the buttons. Aren't you supposed to let the state functionality handle when the buttons should be visible? That's the cleanest way to do it in most cases. You may want to post a larger code sample, where you have boiled down the code into a minimal sample that still enhibits the issue.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.
