Real Trouble Setting Up New WRT160N Router...Help Needed

Current configuration is as follows:
Motorola DSL modem paired with a Netgear Wireless-G router. Works fine, I have a connection.
There is a problem, though, accessing the router's browser interface. This has happened since I reformatted my PC from Vista back to XP Pro SP3. My computer came with Vista. The drivers for my "1394 Network Interface" are generic, and I am afraid that although the blinking green light fuctions when an ethernet cable is connected (router to PC), somehow something is not right. The router access address is not working (192.168.2.1). Perhaps I am entering it wrong? Do I need a port number? I run my PC wirelessly to the internet via a Netgear wireless PCI card that I have installed. It works fine.
My objective is to set up/configure my new Linksys/Cisco Wireless-N router (WRT160N). After I insert the included CD to begin the setup process, the setup process itself fails due to an error. The setup program tells me that it is unable to detect an ethernet port, and to enable it if it is disabled. Well, I do have one, and it has a driver, albeit probably not the correct one. But it is there, and the setup program won't let me continue because it can't see it. Here is where the fun begins.
I have already tried reinstalling the ethernet driver. I downloaded a PC information program like CPU-Z and it revealed my ethernet connector's manufacturer whose name escapes me at the moment. Since the PC came with Vista, I cannot readily find any XP drivers that will suit it. In a desperate yet feeble attempt I downloaded and paid for a driver-updater program, to no avail. My motherboard is an ASUS NodusM3. I have also tried to connect the WRT160N to my PC to check for any viable communication. None.
So in a nutshell I can't get the router's setup program to believe that I have a viable ethernet connection, in which case I may not because I can't get the PC to run off the router via an ethernet cable. I can't even access the router via the browser. In this case will I need new drivers? If so, where do I find them? How can this issue be resolved. It really sounds like a driver issue to me.

The router uses no drivers. Connect at 192.168.1.1 not .2.1. Reset router by pressing reset button for 30 seconds. Release and wait 10 seconds, and power cycle. Connect to the correct IP of 192.168.1.1. via cable.

Here's my trouble: set up my linksys router ~ a year ago,...

Here's my trouble: set up my linksys router ~ a year ago, all is fine. I recently wanted to set up WEP security. I go to the router's web-based setup page, go to wireless security, pick WPA personal, TKIP, and enter a WPA Shared Key. Voila. However, now I cannot connect. When I try to connect it can't seem to get past "authentication", and times out. I'm not asked for a password or key at any point. Suggestions?
Thanks!

how old is your wireless computer? if you are not asked for the network key that means that the computer is recognizing the other saved networks on your computer. go to the choose a wireless network screen(right click on wireless network icon on the bottom right side of your screen and click on view available wireless network). click on the "change advanced settings" option on the left side of you screen.after that click on "wireless networks" tab then under preferred networks box below remove all the preferred networks that you see there. even if you see your network remove it as well..and after that try to connect to your network again...
sometimes those preferred networks blocks you to connect to a wireless network...

Ng trouble downlading my new program. I need to speak to someone.

I'm having trouble downloading my new product. I need to speak to someone.

As Pat said, you need to be much more specific and provide a lot more info. Without that even if there were such a thing as personal support (which there isn't beyond install and basic tech issues) nobody could help.

New to Java: Help Needed

Hi,
I am writing a utility to monitor all the objects created by my application. I want to be able to get not only values of class variables(for which the reflection package seems pretty useful), but also instance variables.
For example.
public class myClass {
//Constructor
public myClass(int i) {
// another class instantiates this one
myClass mc = new myClass(10);
myClass mc1 = new myClass(20);
I need to keep track of the the handles mc and mc1 and the
other initializations they do based on the value passed at runtime.
Is there a way to to this. Or even better, is there someplace in Java which stores all the objects instantiated and their handles?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thnx
cvsan

How do I access private and proteced variables. By default only the public variables are accessible via the reflect class as in the example below.
Class c = rc.getClass();
String s = c.getName();
System.out.println(s);
try { abcField = c.getField("abc");
where abc is a public instance variable. If abc is a private instance variable, the above example fails.
Is there any way to override the data hiding feature of Java?
Thanks

Trouble setting up new router and home network

I used to have a home network. I managed to mess this up real bad, but it was working. Put in 16 port D-Link router. Main computer connects to internet and I can see all the computers. One Mac mini can access internet over the ethernet connection. MacBook Pro can access internet over Airport extreme but when connected over ethernet it won't connect. IMac and an older Mac Pro (G5) both running OS 10.4 won't connect by either airport or wired. Computers are all set to receive "using DHCP" Also on network is a Laserjet HP 4101 which no longer will print. What am I doing wrong here?

Problem partially solved by doing the following.
Modem to ABS. ABS has three ports, two of which connect to computers. Third port goes to a hub with 4 additional hubs. I can't seem to get anything to work through D link 16 port switch. Seems like I have a nice new D link paperweight since I can't get it to work. I am not sure why. Unfortunately with the 4 port hub I have no more room to grow the network and that is why I hope the D link would work.
One last problem one MacBook won't connect to airport. Other computers seem to connect to airport just fine. FYI to get everything to connect up and work required a full reset of the hardware and computers. Basically shut down computers, ABS, routers modem, hubs, including removing batteries for up to 30 minutes and reconnecting and turning them on. These things seem to have a memory and keep looking for connections that used to be there but are no longer. This full reset perhaps could have fixed things a while ago and I could have some of my money still in my wallet. Comments?

Setting Up New FCP5 HD Bay -- Need Help

I'm setting up an HD edit bay for a friend, and I have a number of questions. Any help would be a godsend.
Basically, he's got a G5 with Final Cut Studio installed, a Motu audio interface, a Mackie Mixer, a Decklink Pro HD dual link, M-audio LX4 5.1 speakers, and a DVD/VHS recorder. He has one 250G internal capture drive, and one external 1TB firewire G-Raid. He's running a 23" and 20" Cinema Displays, and a Panasonic 32" HD LCD Flatscreen.
He wants to rent decks per project for capture and output.
My questions is this, how do we output to SD VHS/DVD or other formats for clients? Do we need a Switcher? Is it possible to do format conversion in Final Cut and output via Firewire instead of decklink to SD devices?
Also, is SDI (serial digital interface) cross-platform from SD to HD? Kramer Electonics has an interesting format converter that supports SDI, but will that change HD to SD? Here is a model number and link. FC-7402
http://www.kramerelectronics.com/indexes/item.asp?pic=71
Kramer also has a firewire format converter that looks interesting. FC-20

One of the Mac Vendors suggested the Blackmagic Multibridge Extreme, which sounds perfect, but costs $2000 - 3000.
I'm looking for a low cost alternative, if possible.
I really need help from someone experienced with this. I'm a freelance editor who cuts offline mostly on Avid for episodic TV, but my friend master HD out of his Mac edit suite. This is new territory for me.
Thanks in advance.

You should setup your local DNS to resolve only for the 'film.lab.' domain. Any requests that your local DNS will not be authoritative for should be forwarded to your district's DNS server. You should also set your local DNS to allow recursion only for clients on the 10.x.x.x subnet. The failure of clients configured to use your DNS for name resolution could be due to rules that have bee setup on your district's edge router to block outbound and inbound port 53 requests for all internal clients.
If you set your server and clients to use your district's DNS server as the secondary for your zone, you must make certain that any hostnames within your local zone are defined on your district's DNS to resolve to the private, 10.x.x.x, subnet that you will be running your systems on. If you don't -and your DNS goes down and there is no secondary defined on the clients that contains the zone info for your subnet- your clients won't be able to find any hosts. If you wish to run services that will be accessible from the Internet on your local server, this may require your network admins to make changes to routing to allow those request to be pass from the public network to the private one.
Also, if your district runs a central DHCP server you will need your district network admins to setup their DHCP server to return the correct client settings for your DNS and search domains for the clients within your subnet. If they do run a central DHCP server, do not attempt to set up a local one for your subnet. If you do, the probability that you will receive a very angry phone call from a not so happy fellow at your district is very high.

Will my WPC11 v2.5 pick up the signal from my new WRT160N router?

I have my new router working but my laptop does not see the wireless network. Will my old card work with this new router, and if so do I have to do something special to make work?

1. It will work but it will only support the slower speed of 11 Mbps
2 It only supports WEP encryption which is not recomended but will provide some kind of security. The newer security is much better WPA and WPA2.
Here are instructions for a wireless set up.
Setting up your wireless connection in your router.
*** Step #5 = you can choose the type of encryption that fits your set-up, the example I give is: WPA/TKIP+AES
***Also Pay close attention to the security and security key information and make sure it matches. (What is entered in the router must be entered in the computer.
1.Open Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar.
2.You will now get a sign-in box, User Name = (Leave Blank)
                                                       Password = admin (all lower case letters)
3.Once the set-up page opens, click on the Wireless Tab as youwill need to change the settings. A) Wireless Network Mode = Mixed
              B) Wireless Network Name (SSID) = Choose any name and do not use Linksys.
              C) Wireless Channel = 1, 6 or 11 is best, so see which work best for you.
              D) Wireless SSID Broadcast = Enabled.
4. Now go to the bottom of the page and click on save settings.
5. Click on the Wireless Security Sub tab.
              A) Security Mode: WPA
              B) WPA Algorithms: TKIP + AES
              C) WPA Shared Key: Type 24 letters, and numbers using lower and upper case letters
              D) Group Key Renewal: 3600
6. Once again go to the bottom of the page and click on Save Settings.
7. Now you can close out of this page.
8. You will now need to enter the security info into your computer. I will now give you 2 links, depending which operating system you have, Vista or XP you will follow the one you have.
Vista = http://www.home-network-help.com/wireless-adapter-configuration-in-vista.html
XP = http://www.home-network-help.com/wireless-adapter.html
Now try to make a wireless connection.
Good Luck,

Having Trouble Connecting to new wireless router...

My family just purchased a wireless router. It is a D-Link. Previous to this, I had always used an ethernet cord to get online as I am right now. The router is all set up and I was using the wireless end of it for awhile with no problem until my dad secured it and added a password. I wrote down this password and have been trying to reaccess the wireless internet and it just keeps telling me that the password is incorrect when I know its not because I'm sitting here looking at it on our dells computer screen.
I didn't know if there was something that I needed to do to my macbook that i havent since I have always used an ethernet cable...but I don't know what that would be since I have been to other individuals houses and linked up to their wireless glitch free. The router came with a cd. I opened this cd on my macbook, and the contents of it weren't even compatable with my mac, other than the manual which was not helpful either.
This router is SUSPOSE to be for Mac users, and it worked before the password was set so I am just at a loss.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jacquie,
First: are you sure you've selected the right security protocol when OS X asks you for the network password? There's a dropdown menu with options such as "WEP, WPA," etc. You'll need to select the right one for your network. If you pick the wrong one and enter the password correctly, you will still get a "bad password" error.
Second: Are you sure your router is not MAC-locked? This has nothing to do with Macintosh computers. a MAC address is something every wireless card in every PC has. It's a unique address that is assigned to your computer. If your router is MAC-locked, that means it's set to ONLY allow certain addresses to connect. You'll need to disable the MAC-lock or enter your MAC-address into the "approved" list in the router's settings page.
Third: The problem is NOT your Mac. As you said, it's worked just fine on other wireless networks. The problem lies absolutely, completely, without question in the router settings. Try the two things above and see if that solves it. If not, come back and we'll keep going.

Setting up HP L-7590 via usb to wireless router, help needed..!

Hi,
I have been using my L7590 via lan to a wireless router for a few years... that was perfrect...
Recently I had to change router because of change of ISP. The new router is a Huawei B683... the problem I have is that this router does not allow LAN connections from the router ...!! It does has a USB port that is for the printer...
I am unsure as to how I setup the printer connected via usb to the router....
Do I use the network installation setup...? Or do I use the USB setup...??
Any help is greatly appreciated...
Thanks

Hi,
Connecting the printer to a router's USB port (aka. print server) will only allow you basic print functionality , it won't provide you any scan functionality, faxing from the computer, ink levels or any operation of the HP Solution Center program.
To get full functionality you must work with the provided functionality which means USB connection directly to a single PC or Ethernet connection to a router.. therefore using an Ethernet router will be the preferred solution for you.
In order to setup the printer as you described you should connect the printer to the USB port and go to Control Panel > System. click add a printer and add it through the network.. there might be a need to enter your wireless homepage to enable the printer through the USB, there might be additional setup information in there.. that veries between different print servers and you may contact Huawei support or your ISP for any assistant within the print server configuration.

Trouble setting up new device with iCloud backup

I am trying to set up a new Mac Book Pro, and a new iPad Air. I wasn't sure which to choose, set up as new or from iCloud backup. I was having challenges backing up to iCloud from my iPhone, so I chose set up as new, thinking when I logged into iCloud I could transfer the info. We used the new devices, the contacts were blank and my husband added myself and him to the Contacts.
I was able to back up my iCloud on my iPhone, so I started over from scratch with the new iPad, and chose restore from iCloud backup. the contacts and calendar are not showing up? and the only names in the Contacts are the two my husband added before.

You can check what is stored in iCloud.
iCloud.com > login > Contacts.
Then check out Calendar and Notes from there.
If they are there then there will be a way to download (sync) them to your iPad and new Mac. I’m not an expert in this latter procedure so I will leave it to others to post such instructions.
If on iCloud you find some good Notes, back them up by mailing them to yourself.
Did you have iCloud enabled on the MBP or another Mac with a copy of you Contacts on same? Is there a Time Machine backup of same? If so you can recover Contacts, Calendar,and Notes from that Time Machine backup. If so post back and I’ll post instructions on such restores.

Having trouble setting up Oracle streams. Help!

I'm running Oracle 10g Enterprise server and am trying to set up a streams connection between two databases on the server.
I'm using the Enterprise Manager grid control console to do this. I log into database_1 and I go to the streams section and pick the "Streams Global, Schema, Table and Subset Replication Wizard" link in the setup options.
I create my streams admin account. Question: Does the Streams Administrator have to be account with a dba role? I just set my dba Streams Admin the same as my 'sys' account.
I go on the the Configure Streams: Destination Database.
I put in the host name, port, sid and streams admin and pwd for database_1
When i click next i'm getting the following error.
"There is a problem with the destination connection information. It could be due to invalid host credentials and / or invalid Streams Administrator credentials."
I'm pretty sure my connection information is correct. I can connect to both databases using SQLdeveloper using the same connection info. And I think i properly set up the streams Admin for my database_2. So i'm not sure why i'm getting the error.
can anyone help?

I had a similar problem. Another issue that came along with this was that I was unable to set the credentials for one of the monitored servers in my Stream configuration. It turns out that the agent that I was using wasn't compatible with my GRID installation. I upgraded my agent, verified that I could set the preferred credentials, then successfully set up Streams.
Hope that this helps.

I have a itune card that i put on my account but my account froze up so i had to set up new account and i need my cash on new account? help me

I have an itunes gift card and put it on an account that froze up and i had to create a new account. i have not made any purchases with this card yet and need to get it on my new account. help

Your credit card bill provides two important pieces of information for you:
1. The name of the merchant that made the charge
2. The telephone number of your credit card company. If you still dispute the charge after looking at the merchant's name, call the credit card company and let them advise how you should proceed.

Trouble setting up "new" iMac to iCloud

After totally erasing, formatting and installing Lion from scratch on my iMac I have tried for 3 hours to connect that computer to iCloud.
Just get these messages:
"Incorrect password" and cannot log into iCloud.com because "account isn't verified"
Howver, the very same account - and very same password - works from two other devices.
There is no inidcations on the iCloud webpages of any problems with the service(s).
Any suggestions? (besides using my MacBook Air instead).

Pdf showed in new window. Help needed!

Hi all,
This is my first post (but a thousand read), and i want first to thank you all for all the information i have read in this forums for years.
I have a problem which is giving me more problems that i expected. In my webapp, i want to show a pdf document in a new page of the navigator when a button is pressed. I have discarded the target blank option in the container form because i have others buttons and dont want them to be opened in new windows, just the one that open the pdf.
So, I used another navigation rule to open a new window. This page have to make de pdf in code an send it to the client. I dont know how to execute that code on the load of the page.
The solution i am trying is using a poll that only will be called once and in the pollListener execute that code. The problem is that does not work to send the response to the client in the client. Here is the code of the pollListener:
byte[] file; //Don't worry about it. Contains the file pdf i want to show.
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletResponse response =
(HttpServletResponse) fctx.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition",
"inline; filename=\"file.pdf\"");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setContentLength(file.length);
ServletOutputStream sos = response.getOutputStream();
sos.write(fichero);
sos.flush();
sos.close();
fctx.responseComplete();
The curious thing is that if i change the content-disposition to atachemement instead inline, it works asking me to download the file, however, i want it to open directly in the new window and is because of that i use content-disposition inline.
I am almost killing myself because of this problem. Anyone can help me?
Thanks in advance!

First of all, you don't need to do this with a workaround using a Poll listener. I assume that one page has a commandButton or commandLink that is used to show the PDF, right?
Set the useWindow property of the button or link to "true".
Set the actionListener property of the button or link to a method in a backing bean that looks something like this:
    public void showPDF(ActionEvent actionEvent) throws IOException {
        //Setup the output
        String contentType = "application/pdf";
        FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        HttpServletResponse response =
            (HttpServletResponse)fc.getExternalContext().getResponse();
        /* Notice that I don't set the Content-Disposition header - inline is default. */
        response.setContentType(contentType);
        ServletOuputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
        /* Do whatever you need to do to write the pdf to "out" here. */
        out.flush();
        out.close();
        fc.responseComplete();
    }
