RE: Network Connect of a WMP100N Wireless card Thru a WRT54G Router

Well, I disabled the Zonealarm personal firewall. No change in connectivity. The card acquires the router, has super signal strength, and no internet. I've even tried re-doing the connection profile. I have noticed a minor difference in security settings. The router is configured WPA with PSK using TKIP + AES. The card gives me the option of either TKIP or AES (not the plus) Probably doesn't matter since the card only acquires the router when TKIP is chosen. I have also noticed when I tried using the rightclick repair option that windows lists encryption as disabled. If the card security settings match that of the router and access is established, isn't encryption enabled? Re-enabled the wired card and immediately established and internet connection. Am lost as to why I can't get internet thru the wireless card. There is an IP address and standard subnet mask. There just is a blank gateway, DNS and etc.

Well, I may have made a mistake. I spent some time on Live Chat with no real success. After all that, I decided to update firmware for the router. Here's where I may have goofed. Rather than use the old way to update, I used the linksys upgrade application. It did upgrade the router. Unfortunately, it seems to have corrupted my OS installation. I can't get XP (SP2) to properly shutdown. It goes partway thru the process, then I hear a click, the fans start whirring and it reboots. I end up having to push and hold the power button for shut off. Not a good solution. Any ideas? I am considering uninstalling the wireless card and doing a system restore pre-card. (BTW, the wireless card worked after the firmware update (although the connection does drop fairly often without any other 2.4 competing devices)

Can I connect Tower w/o wireless card into my Airport Express via ethernet for internet?

Greetings. I have an airport extreme sending wireless internet signal all over the house. I have a music studio computer Intel Xeon that has no wireless card in a seperate room. Am I able to configure an older Airport Express 802.11g that is connected wirelessly to the Extreme signal to connect to internet signal to my tower via the ethernet connection on the Airport Express?... i.e., connect the ethernet cable from my tower to the ethernet port on the Express to access internet signal? If so do I have to set up the Express for a certain kind of configuration that is different than, say, if I were using the airport express for airplay or a printer?
Thank you for your help. Jeff

Am I able to configure an older Airport Express 802.11g that is connected wirelessly to the Extreme signal
Unfortunately, the older AirPort Express model that you have does not have this type of capabiility.....an "n" version of the AirPort Express would be able to do what you want.
Look for a Model A1264 or Model A1392. The A1392 is the newer version, but the A1264 would do fine.
Here I assume that you have an 802.11"n" version of the AirPort Extreme.

Do I need a wireless card to use a router with my iMac or does the built in

I am having ComCast install a router at my home and they tell me I'll need a wireless card. I shouldn't need one with Airport Extreme installed should I?

Right - sort of.
You do need a wireless card to connect to a wireless router. However your Mac already has built-in wireless (almost every iMac does, only the original from 1998 didn't) so you're good to go - you don't need any extras.

Getting WMP100N Wireless card to acquire network from a WRT54G Wireless Router

Card is version 1.0 and router =Version 6. Have had router for a while (Slaved it off a wired router and used just for laptop connectivity to the wired net.) Have moved and found that wireless connection is more advantageous here. Bought a WMP100N. Installed and ran the setup. It connects to the router with a sterling signal. However, the card can not seem to find or connect with the network. According to the FAQs, it is suggested that my firewall conflicts with the hardware firewall in the router. Well, the router worked fine with Zonealarm when it connected thru a wired Linksys network card. What's different about the wirelesss card and how do I get it to connect? By the way, I was not aware that my router came with an organic firewall. I know that it was NAT configured (which functions as a de facto firewall) but not that it specifically contained a hardware firewall. Also, I still have the wired card installed in the machine. I've disabled it. I have tried just unplugging the cable. I haven' uninstalled it. My firewall ignores the old card when I disable it (As it should.) However, it still doesn't connect with the wireless. I'm afraid to kill Zonealarm and be protected with a supposed firewall that I'm not sure exists.

Try uninstalling & reinstalling the adapter & it will definately work!!

Need help connecting to internet with wireless card

I am currently able to connect 4 Mac laptops and 1 G5 desktop to my Airport Extreme without any problems. I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 with a Dell Truemobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI card that recognizes my AE and connects to it, but I can't get it to connect to the internet. I've tried using the internet connection setup wizard for an isp with username and password but it wants to configure a dialup connection. I've tried just double-clicking on my Internet Explorer icon but it won't connect. I know I've overlooked something(s) but I would like to know if there a procedure that someone can walk me through to get connected. I've also tried using a Belkin USB wireless adapter which also recognizes the Airport, but I still can't get connected. Any help would be greatley appreciated. Steve

What "bands" does a Truemobile 1400 Dual Band WLAN Mini-PCI card support? 802.11a/b or 802.11b/g ?
Start Menu -> Run -> cmd -> ipconfig
Are you getting a valid IP address for your private LAN ?

Connecting Samsung BD-C6500 wireless DVD to WRT160N v2 router

The Samsung device connects to the router but WILL NOT connect to the internet saying that the HTTP port is blocked. HTTP port is not blocked in the router as best I can tell. I have upgraded the firmware and reset to factory defaults. My TIVO and two wireless computers all connect to the internet just fine.
I had one Samsung DVD player that initially connected via the router. It downloaded info and I watched Netflix movies. then it stopped connecting and when I attempted to reconfigure the IP, DNS, etc it started giving me this type of error. I replaced the player with a new one but I get the same" HTTP blocked" error message...this player also initially appeared to connect to the internet but then stopped moments later. ISP says there are no problems on their end. Samsung says its the router or the ISP not their machine.
HELP

Well if you are getting that error message on your Samsung DVD Player then you can try to open the HTTP Port on your router an check if its working or not.
To open the ports on your Router, you need to login to the setup page of your Router and click on the Application and Gaming tab and below under "Port Forwarding"
Application Name Start Port End Port Protocol IP Address Enable
Samsung 80 80 BOTH IP of Samsung DVD Player Enable.
And click on Save Settings...
Once are done then unplug the power from the router and modem, wait for 30sec and then first plug the power to the modem and once all the lights are lid on the Modem then you can plug the power to the Linksys Router.
Now you can check if you are getting the same error message on your Samsung DVD Player.

Trouble connecting HP Photosmart D110 wireless printer to D-Link router

We just installed our new all in one modem/wireless router that we received from Verizon yesterday. The computers connected fine but our HP Photosmart D110 wireless printer will not connect. We tried many different things. It connects fine when using the new D-Link with our old wireless router connected. It will also connect to the modem if there is no security encryption. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thank you!

How to deal with a shared network connection when installing 10 EX

I am in the process of setting up a Virtual PC XP environment on my Vista Business machine to load Oracle EX in the virtual environment. I am having an issue of receiving a shared network connection with my broadband wireless card within the virtual XP SP3 environment, which Internet access is required for the Oracle EX installation. I checked out a couple tech sites and could not find a solution. I might have to get an Internet access at home from TWC.
How to resolve this conflict? Thanks.
Edited by: user10368779 on Aug 27, 2009 2:09 PM

I am not sure how +"I am having an issue of receiving a shared network connection with my broadband wireless card within the virtual XP SP3 environment"+ can be resolved on an Oracle forum? There are probalby Windows experts on the forum but I would personally aim for a Windows forum.
You may want to double check if Oracle XE is even running in a Virtual PC environment before starting this exercise.

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup

2nd Computer Requires a Manual Wireless Network Connection Setting on Powerup
On power-up, my 2nd computer, a 3 yo IBM R51, requires that I open the Network Connections window, then set the Wireless Network Connection Properties under the Wireless Network Tab, clicking on "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings", before the automatic connection launches to the WRT150N v1.1 router signal.
I just bought the router and have the latest firmware.
My primary computer does not require the above settings change every time.
Is there a selection I can make so this is automatic on power-up or restart of my 2nd computer?

It was already set to automatic on both extended and standard tabs.
For a good measure, I set it to disable, applied, then reset it to automatic and applied again. Still does same thing.
I notice that if I double click on the small icon for the Intel ProWireless Network Card, I get a Wireless Connection Status Window.
This window has a Wireless Settings section where it seems to have a possibly obsolete "Current Location Profile" called ssnetwork (the name of my old network on my old D-Link router that I just changed out for the Linksys.
Anyway, the Network Name (SSID) field is now blank but when it first came up, it had the new name of the network I'm using.
Do you know how I access this "Current Location Profile" so I can edit it and possibly enter my new network name?
There is a button at the bottom of the screen called "Modify WLAN Settings" that I click but nothing launches when I do so.
Now that I manually did the connection setting, my network name appears in the "Current Location Profile."

I think the V20z have an ordinary broadcom chipset, if so the network interface should be called bgeX.
So try:
ifconfig bge0 plumb
.. dont forget your /etc/hostname.bge0 file..

Imac 10.7.5 drops all network connections

I am using an iMac 10.7.5 that has started to drop the network connection (both ethernet and wireless). Using in a corporate environment on a Cisco switch. No other computers on this switch losing their connections. Have an Mac Book Pro that can connect on the same switch without a problem. I have deleted preferences and restarted but it still drops. Will last about 30 minutes then it drops. The only way to restore it is to restart. Have repaired permissions ad nauseum. Tried booting to recovery (Command-R on startup) but it just goes to my login screen. Trying not to reinstall OS but may have to. Any other suggestions?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Randomly Dropped Network Connections WRT54GR

Two wireless notebooks running Vista, two wired desktops running Win2k Pro. Router is used for internet connection and networking. (Assigned IP addresses) All devices maintain steady internet connection. So far so good.
But network connection is not steady. If I reset the router by powering off and on, everything is fine for a while, all computers see each other. But within a random space of time they stop seeing each other consistently. I then have to do a power off/on.
New to wireless and home networking. Is this just to be expected? Any ideas of how to fix the problem?
Thanks!

I think you should disable all the firewalls on these computer and reduce the MTU on the router to 1365, beacon interval to 50 and RTS and Fragmentation threshold by 40 each.

WVC200 v1.2 - Successful Wireless & DynDNS Setup with WRT54G v.6 Router

I would just like to report that after hours of tinkering, I managed to configure the camera to run wireless as well as link up with the dynDNS service. I thought I would post the method which worked for my WRT54g/WVC200 combo. Hopefully this will help anyone still stuck on setting it up.
You want to set everything up using wired connections exclusively until everything is working and you are ready to jump to wireless.
Reset your WRT54G router to factory default settings. If you can't access the admin page simply press the reset button on the back of the router and hold it down for about a minute (should reset to factory spec). I am using the latest firmware for each device (linksys phone support can help you with firmware if you don't have the latest stuff, or you can look for other threads on the topic).
Now that your router has a fresh install, unplug its power supply for now. Turn your attention to wiring. Make sure you have a powered-off PC connected to one of the ethernet ports on the router.
Power up your router first, giving it time to boot (usually under 30 seconds). Then power up your PC and pay a visit to your blank router at http://192.168.1.1 user:admin password:admin and leave your internet settings alone for now (they shouldnt affect your camera setup later as long as you have a typical dynamic IP internet connection)
In the first page for the router setup, make sure you use DHCP for the local network (I believe this is the default setting) and set a healthy DHCP user limit. *Apply/Save Settings*
In the wireless menu, broadcast on G-only, channel 6, assign an easy to remember SSID ("smithnetwork" etc) *Apply/Save Settings* . In the wireless security tab, choose WPA, TKIP, and type in a good passcode (strongest passwords are 10 or more randomly typed letters and numbers) *Apply/Save Settings*
Click on the Administration tab, set an equally strong password to access the router setup (can be the same as your wireless encryption passcode if its strong). Additionally, make sure UPnP and Remote Management are disabled, Wireless Management enabled. *Apply/Save Settings* (this should now prompt you for the password you just created in order to return to the router setup)
Go ahead and connect to your newly broadcasting network from a laptop wireless card etc. (which should still give you limited connectivity even if you haven't configured your internet settings yet) by going to http://192.168.1.1 in your browser like I said earlier. If you manage to get to the router menu then you know your wireless network is functioning at least to a certain degree. If you are stuck here, its probably not too complex of a problem for linksys phone tech support to get you back on track.
Note: If you have been tweaking camera settings prior to this attempt, you might want to turn it on without any network cables hooked up and try holding the reset button down (like we did to restore the router's factory settings earlier).
Now get your WVC200 camera and hook up the ethernet cable to one of the open ethernet ports on your router and the port on the camera. Plug in the camera's power supply. At this point, the camera should boot up, calibrate the servo motors, and attempt to join your router's LAN. If your camera does ANYTHING but connect to the network successfully and give you a local IP, you have a problem I haven't encountered and you should re-read the instructions or consider an RMA.
Default Local IPs (assuming each device joined the network in proper order)
Router: 192.168.1.1
Your ethernet-wired PC: 192.168.1.2
Your wirelessly connected laptop: 192.168.1.3
Your camera: 192.168.1.4 (this is what your camera should display on the LCD)
At this point you can confirm your camera is properly placed on the DHCP client table by getting into your router setup and clicking the status tab > local network > DHCP clients table. You should find your 3 devices connected, assigned the above IPs, and you should see the camera (named "WVC200" on the list). Again, if this is not the case for you using factory settings, I reccomend talking to linksys phone support or RMA the item.
Now close all your browsers and load a fresh internet explorer, navigating to the camera's local IP address (should be http://192.168.1.4 or whatever your client table listed). This is basically how you configured your WRT54g router earlier (even uses the same admin/admin login).
Once you're in the camera management page, click on the setup tab. Note the sub-menu that appears on the left side, click on "basic" and make sure camera name is WVC200, LCD/LED enabled, Daylight savings checked, NTP automatic server un-checked, make sure Automatic (DHCP) is set.
Wireless SSID "smithnetwork" or whatever you assigned it earlier in the router wireless setup, network type: infrastructure. *Apply/Save Settings*
In the same Setup > Basic menu, at the very bottom of the page should be the wireless security settings ( default should be "disabled" ). Click the "edit security settings" button, select WPA Personal, it should be on the TKIP algorithm, and don't forget to enter the wireless WPA password you created earlier on the router. *Apply/Save Settings* also: click *Apply/Save Settings* on the main page again too just to be sure it applied. The security settings should now display when you reload the page.
While we are in setup, click on the "users" link to the left, replace the default administrator login with your own custom one, making sure to check the "enable authentication" box. *Apply/Save Settings*
At this point, you should have your WVC200 fully configured and broadcasting video on the wired LAN, if this is not the case, I would have no clue why it wouldn't work with the same equipment and method and you are out of luck.
Now, for the moment of truth! You should have your router right next to you with wireless ready to go (you tested this earlier) and the camera antenna installed on your WVC200. Unplug the power from the camera, unplug the ethernet cable that connects the router and camera to one another, and plug the power back into the camera. After the lens calibrates and stops moving, the wireless LED should light up and probably start flickering as it negotiates a connection with your router. It should find your network and display an IP fairly quick (probably 192.168.1.4 default). If it takes longer than 15 seconds youre probably out of luck and should double-check everything in this post and move on to a different post if it still doesn't work.
I used to spend hours at this point, wondering why it wouldn't join my perfectly functional wireless network. It would try to connect to the wireless network for about 5 minutes, it would appear to successfully connect sometimes, but it would display the incorrect local IP address and would refuse to function regardless of its self-proclaimed connectivity. I learned that the router's WPA2 encryption was overpowering the puny WPA + TKIP on the camera even though I was using AES/TKIP combo on the router (which was supposed to make the router compatible with original WPA + TKIP devices while still letting you use WPA2). Maybe Linksys can include a fix for this in future router/camera firmware.
To make sure the wireless is functioning properly, open up an internet explorer window and try connecting to camera management page again (http://192.168.1.4 by default) while your camera still has no ethernet cable hooked up to it. Check to make sure you can see video etc. I never experienced signal problems like other users did. This combination of router/camera worked well (-21 dB with it sitting next to the router, -39dB in the other room)
DynDNS Service setup:
I basically figured out that while the DNS features on the camera might be useful to some, its still buggy and there is a MUCH more powerful dynDNS feature on the WRT54g router itself. Navigate to your router (default: http://192.168.1.1 ) like you did earlier and get into the setup page. Click the "DDNS" menu and select the dyndns.org, enter your username, password, and domain name. I am assuming you already have a free dyndns account created or would otherwise have no issue setting up an account with them, so I won't cover that in my post. By clicking *Apply/Save Settings* assuming you configured your internet access through the router like you always did, the router should ask your cable/DSL modem what its WAN IP is and display it (the dynamic internet IP address that was making life difficult for you). What's nice about the router handling this task is that the router is usually first to know when the modem changes the IP (therefore it will immediately log in for you and update the dynDNS).
**Important** This camera uses port 80 by default, so while youre still logged into the router managment page, click on the "Applications & Gaming" menu and type an application name like "linksys" , start port 80, end port 80, TCP only, specify the camera's local DHCP address (default: 192.168.1.4) and don't forget to enable it by checking the box then *Apply/Save Settings*
I would allow at least several hours for the dynDNS servers to apply the changes before becoming concerned, but who knows maybe it will work right away for you. At this point, you should have plenty of functionality to play with the rest of the features of the camera, enjoy! I will post any additions/revisions if need be.
-Sloth

Hello -sloth !
Very easy understanding guide !
I have made all what you suggested.
But now I cannot add the camera in the monitor > setup page.
I can see the camera in the camera list WVC200.
IP 192.168.15.101
port 80
But when I press add, I get "connection fail".
Is the port still 80 - since the Channel is set to 6
I have done no port forwarding as other has suggested.
Checking with the browser at : 192.168.15.101
Page can't be found .....
The router says:
WVC200 192.168.15.101 LAN 00:18:39:35:6A:13 23:24:26
The camera displays the same ip .......
The router setup page : Local IP 192.168.15.1
IP Address Range : 192.168.15. 100 to 149
I have made a system restore, and installed the camera sw again.
If I unplug the lan and turn to wireless the camera LCD display: 192.168.1.115 DHCP
But that page cannot be found ......
