Setting up a WPA PSK for two computers

Last night my router was struck by lightening and no longer works (I didn't realize it was not connected to a surge protector. Everything else I do believe is). Fortunately, I had my old router, Linksys Wireless-B Model No. BEFW11S4 ver.4, that I plugged in. It connects to the modem just fine. I have two laptops. One's mine and one's my mom's. When the wireless is unsecure they both connect, but when I put in a WPA-PSK the only computer that connects is the one where the password was created on (I tried this on both laptops). Is there a way to get both computers to connect?
For more help, my computer is a Lenovo running Windows Vista and my mom's is an HP running Windows 7.
Firmware on the router is 1.50.10.
Firmware Version: 1.50.10
You'll probably tell me to go buy a new router which I plan on doing but this is a temporary fix.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I ended up buying a new router today as the old one wasn't cutting it even for just one computer. I did buy a Linksys E800. It's working fine. I found out that the reason the other computer wasn't connecting was because I had used the same name for the router and it was bringing up the old settings. I set up a key for the new router and transferred to the other computer so they both have the same settings and able to connect.

I just got InDesign CS6 and am running it on an iMac and I know the license is good for two computers which will come in very handy for me. How do I set it up to access it from my second iMac?

I just got InDesign CS6 and am running it on an iMac and I know the license is good for two computers which will come in very handy for me. How do I set it up to access it from my second iMac?

I just had an afterthought, Peter, if I could bother you further; if the downstairs iMac that I want to access it from is in my wife's name and not mine (even though I'll be the one using it on her computer) does that affect anything or can I simply load the software straight into her computer without any complications?

Hi all - is it really possible to use one license for two computers or is it just a rumor?

I heard that it would be possible that you can use one license for two computers. Is that the truth? And if so - how does it work?
Thanks

Adobe CC or any perpetual previous version allows you to install & activate it two times (on the same computer or other different one).
As per End user license agreement, only one computer can be used at one given time.
Please refer to:

Hope it helps you.

NO internet in the network except for two computers after installing ASA 5505

Hi Guys,,,
I dont know if any of you guys had a problem like this... I installed a CISCO ASA5505 with 50 user license to my network as the gateway firewall. So ASA is acting as the gaeway router which is connected to a fibre circuit and also it gives DHCP to the network. The strange thing is that except for two computers rest does not have internet. I also have an asterisk phone system which works fine..
I tried everything.... static IP's DHCP, DNS nothing worked. But strange enough two computers works fine and have internet.. but are no special computers. One is Win XP and the other one is Win7. When I troubleshoot the problem in win 7 on one of the computers it says
"The remote device or resource won't accept the connection"
I have no idea now... any help would be great...
Thanks in advance

Hello Amal.
I hope the gateway of the comupters are configured as ASA.. Are you able to ping your gateway from the PC where you dont have access to internet and also check whether the translation is happening on ASA when you are trying to access the internet ( show xlate | i 'local ip'
It would be great if you could share the ASA config as well

One Time Machine drive for two computers

Okay I know that I can use one drive for my macbook pro and my iMac. But, I am wanting to keep both my computer connected to the drive, without having to disconnect one and then hooking up to the other. Is there a way for both computer to recognize the drive and pull from it for backups. Can a usb switch solve this problem or is there software that will work. Also if there is a way to do this I know that i will have to off set the backup time so that both computers are not writing to it at the same time. Thanks in advance,
Adam

you can't have a drive directly plugged in into two computers at once. what you can do is keep it plugged into one computer, back up that computer directly and back up the other computer over network (wireless or ethernet). you don't need to worry about overlapping backup times. the OS will take care of it itself.

PSE 10 one program for two computers

Hello; my question is, it possible to use my PSE 10 that is installed on my PC and use it on my laptop via a home network ? downloading the program onto my PC is not an option. I once had it installed I had to replace my drive thus using the two allowed installs by adobe. I contacted adobe about another licence, they were not much help, they only wanted to sell me another program. thanks for any info on this matter. Paolo

You can certainly install PSE on two computers. If you have used both your activations and you no longer have one of the computers to deactivate it so you can reinstall on a new one, you will need to contact activation support:

You can often start a chat session right in that window and get things resolved right away.

External hard drive for two computers

I have two computers linked with Airport Express and am converting to Leopard. Can I back up both computers via Time Machine with one hard drive?

The Macbook Pro that is connected to the firewire drive saves its backup in a "Backups.backupdb" folder. The machines that connect over the network save their backups as sparse bundles that are mounted by the machines. I have never had a problem with two machines backing up at the same time. The caveat would be that the two networked machines do not have large changes, and so their backups are usually small.
I have restored from the backups to test the setup, and everything works fine... There is a lot of useful information on the forums about making this work, and steps to make it less painful for the initial backup.

Lightroom for two computers

Hi there,
I have lightroom on my macbook, and now bought an imac. I'd love to install lightroom on there as well. I read that it's possible to install lightroom on two computers/laptops.. but how do I go about it? I downloaded the test version, and tried to enter the license key I used for my macbook version, but this doesn't work...
Thanks a lot for your help
Cheers

Du fragst im deutschen Forum, deshalb kriegst Du die Antwort auf deutsch.
Du kannst eine vorhandene Lizenz auf zwei Geräten gleichzeitig nutzen, aber nur einmal zur gleichen Zeit ausführen.
Du musst das zweite Gerät mit der selben Lizenz bestücken, wie das erste Gerät. Deshalb ist es das beste, den selben Installer zu verwenden und dann bei Geräte auf den letzten Stand updaten.
Da es unterschiedliche Lizenzmodelle für Lightroom gibt, und Du nicht geschrieben hast welches, können wir Dir nur beschränkt helfen. Wenn Du ein Einzellizenzmodell hast, dann musst Du diesen Installer nehmen, hast Du die Cloud, musst Du Dich bei der Cloud anmelden und darüber installieren, hast Du die Box, musst Du die gelieferte CD verwenden und darüber installieren.
Wichtig ist auch, dass die beiden Installationen die selbe Version haben müssen, damit die SN funkt.

Westell 2200 support for two computers?

I have a Westell Dual Connect DSL Router (A90-220015-04). Does it support two computers, if one is connected via Ethernet and the other via USB? I've search this forum, Verizon's entire website and google, without finding any definitive answer on this.
Also, if it is supported, how do I go about this?
With one computer, I am able to connect via Ethernet, but not USB. For the latter, I first disconnect the Ethernet connection, power off the Westell router, connect the USB wire (from PC to Westell router) and power on the Westell router. The power and DSL lights turn steady green, but the USB light remains dark. Is a driver required for a USB connection?
thanks,
-bob

It should be one or the other. You can not use both Ethernet and USB. If you have one, try an Ethernet switch connected to the modem. If I recall it will issue more than one address. But your best bet would be to go get a wireless router so you would have wireless capability, and multiple ports.

WPA-PSK for Outdoor P2P: What's about broadcat-key?

Hello
It is recommend to change broadcast key when I use WPA-PSK? If yes, which value in seconds is recommend?
encryption mode ciphers tkip
broadcast-key change XXX
any input is very welcome

I suggest you to do enable broadcast key rotation. It really depends on the amount of broadcast/multicast traffic. If you use broadcast and multicast traffic alot, I suggest you to configure slightly less than 2 hours. If not, 10 hours is good enough.

How can I order OS X v10.7 Lion for two computers? One Macbook and one Imac.

How can I order OS X v10.7 Lion for both my MacBookPro and my Imac?

Install 10.6.8 on one computer to access the App Store, purchase, and download Lion. You can install on all the computers you own. Although you can re-download Lion after you purchase it, you may prefer the following:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

Cannot set up or modify backup for client computers.

I am running Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials and was able to set up back ups for all of my machines when I initially set up the network. All backups were running fine.
I have added a disk drive to one of my machines and correctly started receiving messages that the drive should be added to the backup. When I try to customize the backup for the machine I get an error pop up with the message ""The
task "Customize Backup for the computer" did not complete successfully"". I tried all of my other machines and get the same message.
I also needed to reconnect a machine to the server and in doing so had to disconnect it from the server, losing the backups stored and now I get the message ""The task "Set up Backup for the computer" did not complete successfully""
and cannot backup this computer.
I have checked all of the logs and cannot find any definitive errors occurring at the times I have tried to modify or set up backups. Can anyone help?
Since originally asking this question, the Server 2012 R2 Update applied and now I no longer have Client's, User's or Storage listed on the tabs in the dashboard so I do not know if backups are being done or not. I tried to run the connector on the clients
but get a forbidden error when I try to connect to the link. does anyone have any suggestions on how to correct these errors?

Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me know if the client computers are dynamic disks? Please understand that Windows Server 2012 Essentials does not support backing up and restoring
dynamic disks on client computers. In addition, if the client backup folder is on the storage pool? At this time, please also run the Windows Server 2012 Essentials BPA to have a general health check on the server, for details, there is a link for your reference:
Run the Windows Server 2012 Essentials Best Practices Analyzer
