Several WRT54G Problems

I have a WRT54G V8 Firmware Version: v8.00.0, Jan. 16, 2007
I have several problems with it
First: when using it as DNS (ie a computer behind it sets it to be their DNS - 192.168.0.1 (yes that is it's correct IP, yes I realize the default is 192.168.1.1 IIRC)) sometimes sites will not DNS - they will time out. If a site times out, it will always time out, sites that do not time out never time out.
If I set the computers behind it to use the DNS servers Qwests DHCP server gives my WRT54G those sites DNS just fine.
Second Problem: The WRT54G randomly reboots, interrupting connectivity in the most obnoxious ways.

reflash the firmware. .. reset the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure it ...

Signed applets in 1.4.1: non-trust ignored: severe security problem?

Hello all,
I am signing applets with a developer certificate.
Until know everything worked fine with Plugin 1.3.1.
Know I changed to Plugin 1.4.1 and encountered a strange behaviour: When I open the HTML page with a browser (tried IE 5.5 and Mozilla 1.1) the certificate-question pops up. The problem: if I choose not to trust the certificate, the applets starts nevertheless and I can use the system clipboard inside my Applet (for what applets needs to be signed)!
This looks like a severe security problem!
Does anyone know anything about this? Can you reproduce this?
thanx!
Marcus

Hi,
I tried to reproduce what you said with plugin 1.4.0 (I don't have 1.4.1 yet) and IE6.0 (It doesn't have anything to do with the browser)
My Java console said :
"User has denied the priviledges to the code
writeFile: caught security exception"
The security seems to work OK in 1.4.0.
I will have to try 1.4.1.

Severe Call Problems (drops, bricks, ghost calls)

Had the original since soon after it came out and had virtually no problems. Just bought the 3G Black 3G version last night. Several major problems right out of the gate:
1. During a call the touch screen blacks out (call is still live). If one requires the touch pad interface to get through a customer service maze, for example, the phone is useless. Has happened twice but is not foolproof repeatable.
2. During a call, another random call from my contacts will be initiated and place the current call on hold, AND the touch screen blacks out. The new Ghost call continues and you can't stop it because you can't interface the phone. SUPER embarrassing. Has happened twice, not foolproof repeatable (but probably because I'm losing a willingness to actually use the phone).
3. After every call (repeatable, every time) the device instantly powers off.
4. Dropped call, plus instant power down.
My 3G seems to fly and everything else non-phone related seems fine... but I have yet to experience a full beginning-call-to-end-call success. I loaded up some music and photos and synced my contacts to Google and loaded one app (NY Times)... that's it.
At this point I have a great PDA but not a meaningfully reliable phone. Any help is most appreciated... because I NEED a reliable phone! (duh!) I've perused the subjects and keep up on the news and see lots of drop problems but nothing like this... maybe I just got a dud?

Ah hah! User error! Trying to pull a fast one on the plastics industry I weaseled my original model semi-soft Belkin case onto the 3G, apparently hosing the proximity sensor and otherwise causing unintended contact with assorted areas of the interface. $30 to the apple store for more precisely 3G molded plastics later, and full functionality is restored, 2nd day was in pretty heavy usage, crystal clear, no drops, zippy Internet. 3G is actually strong and speedy here in eastern MA, fwiw. Insanely overpriced plastic but worth every penny in the end.
Many thanks. Sorry, iPhone haters.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Severe graphic problems on Intel iMac (2007)

iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (white, 2007)
Works OK in OS X 10.6.7 in Safe Boot mode, but with regular startup is unusable and experiences severe graphic problems and freezes, such as:
Spurious lines across the screen and in various application windows.
Mail window breaks up into a patchwork and mail refuses to quit
Safari window displays severe artifacts and locks up
Dock severely distorted; some icons extremely garbled and unrecognizable
We tried erasing and reinstalling OS 10.6, up to 10.6.7, restoring only the primary user, but the same problems persist. No applications other than from the installation disk were installed.
iMac originally came with OS X 10.4. Upgraded to 10.5, then later to 10.6. Since upgrading to 10.6 (now 10.6.7), have had increasing problems with display artifacts. Now it's so bad we can't operate unless we go to Save Boot. Then, it seems to work fine, but Safe Boot turns off sound output, so iTunes and other audio capabilities are lost.
Since it works OK under Safe Boot, what items could be removed to restore proper operation?
Is there a way to restore sound output while operating in Safe Boot?
Is it just a bad idea to upgrade to MacOS X 10.6 on a computer that came with 10.4?
I'm considering erasing and returning to the original MacOS X 10.4 installation, but I'm concerned that photos in iPhoto will not be compatible with the OS 10.4 version of iPhoto.
Hope someone can help. Thanks.

Thanks.
Or buy a new one.
It passes the Apple Hardware Test, as well as TechTool Pro hardware tests. But clearly something is wrong, and worse than when it was even a few weeks ago. I even tried erasing and reverting Tiger, and it was better, but still had some obvious artifacts and stability issues. Apparently not a drive problem either, since it occurs when running from various external drives as well.
Appreciate the help.

Severe buffering problems when streaming

In the past couple of days, I have begun experiencing severe buffering problems when streaming video on the web. The video plays for like 6 seconds and then it pauses for like 6 seconds and continues this pattern over and over. This problem occurs regardless of which web browser I am using. I know the problem is not caused by the internet connection because I did a speed test and it is currently operating at 12mbps. I have tried streaming video on another computer and it worked fine.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

WRT54G Problem- SSID not showing in list & router not sending correct IP address

Everthing was humming along. Comcast Internet = fine. WRT54G router, several XP Pro/SP 3 computers, 1 Powerbook + wireless printers. etc = fine. PCs find network SSID and auto-connect without fail.
Then, Comcast Internet down. Reboot everything. Network back up. Computers then get wrong IP Address or do not see SSID. (No config changes on computers.)
So I:
1. Reinstall WRT54G firmware (v8) - no change.
2. Install new fresh WRT54G - using CD to install - no change
3. Update firmware in router used in #2 - no change
4. Complete reset cycle and reinstall -no change.
5. Repeat same reset with original router -no change
6. Using static IP address/default gate way/DNS address - PC finds and connects to SSID but does not access Internet.
Result - no computers find SSID. (SSID is hidden.) Don't find it when it's not hidden either.
Ethernet cabled PC works just fine. Gets correct IP Address & Internet access is fine.
Cable modem = Motorola Surf Board. No physical locations of any omponent has changed.
Is it possible that both WRT54G's are not working?
Is it somehow a Comcast problem?
Should I try some other router settings?
Many thanks!

Thanks. These are great instructions and quite useful for setup. Unfortunately, my problems seemed much more complex.
In the end, I redidi all the networking from scratch from the router through all the connected devices. Finally got things back up. I don't know how, but the Comcast failure seemed to corrupt lots of the settings even if they all looked OK.

MacBook Pro underwent several repairs, problems still persisting. What should I do?

I own a 2010 17" MBP. I have upgraded the RAM from 4GB to 8GB, removed the optical drive and installed the optibay cover (1TB HDD in the optical bay slot and 300GB SSD in the primary). Approximately about a few months before my extended warranty was up, I began experiencing issues and eventually, I was unable to start my computer at all. No fans spin up, no boot screen, no indication the machine in on. The only thing that was functioning was the battery indicator LEDs on the side.
Background (not relevant): This is my primary mobile machine. I own a few desktops I've assembled myself and the MBP. I've used the laptop in several cities and the only repair I've had before this was the display. It had severe light bleeding issues. I take care of my laptop and I've done the upgrades as mentioned above. I actually clean out the dust every 4-6 months or so. It's actually quite amazing how much dust can accumulate in the computer.
Trip #1: Took it to an apple store for repair, the tech told me the logic board had failed and they would have to send it out for repair. They replaced the logic board and the hard drive (apparently bad blocks showed up in the test). Got my laptop back in a little under a week and computer was working great. A couple weeks later, my applecare has expired and the computer begins to shut down randomly.
Trip #2: Go back to the apple store and explain my situation. The genius is curious since the chance of two faulty logic boards is pretty slim. She thinks it might be an issue with the power button itself so she opens up the bottom and attempts to short out the starter pins to start the computer. Nothing happens. She says they will likely have to replace the logic board again and this time the computer will undergo deeper testing to ensure it's good to go. I say great and luckily they have the parts at the store so turnaround time should be quick. Got it back, everything is fine, but again after a few weeks the computer shows the exact same problems.
Trip #3: Somehow the computer comes back to life when I show it to the genius. It boots up just fine. This is the same person I saw from Trip 1 so he's somewhat familiar with the situation. He hooks up the computer and runs the diagnostic. Thermal sensors near the magsafe port is too hot so he says that might the cause all along. He also says that it might be something to do with components under the keyboard? I don't know... Got my computer back yesterday and they ended up replacing the logic board again along with the magsafe board. I used it during the night and once again the computer shut off randomly. I'm sensing some impending doom here, but hopefully it trudges through.
If I add up all the repair costs that Apple has done so far, it's basically the cost of the computer. One display replacement, 3 logic boards, a hard drive, and a magsafe board along with all the labor...
It is becoming extremely irritating to keep going back to the Apple store to get my machine fixed and I cannot keep taking time every other week or so to get it taken care of. I would like to sell the computer and just buy a new one, but who is going to buy a computer with so many issues right after the warranty is gone (all repairs have been free due to the 90-day grace period from a repair). And I won't omit the fact about the repairs either since it's a crummy thing to do and they would be able to find out anyway if a tech at an Apple store looked it up.
Can anyone tell me what my options are if the computer fails again? Or will I just have to endure my computer continually eating logic boards?

Ok.
Go into Disk Utility, and make sure you select your external hard drive.
There should be 4 tabs, one being erase. I have taken a screenshot to show you what it should be set to (obviously name it what you like), and set the format to Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) as per the example below & after double checking your in the right drive, you can hit erase. And you're done! *hopefully*

Windows Home Server & WRT54G Problem - WHS

I am trying to set up my new Windows home server to work on my (otherwise working fine)home network. WHS is supposed to be super easy. Yes, and the MS tooth fairy...
Anyway, my WHS will not connect to the network or apparently even the WRT54G router. WHS has not yet connected to the internet either thru my broadband router. When I open up the Server Console on the server (other networked PC's can't see the server yet), go to settings to trouble shoot, I am getting a message that the router is not configured & no router IP address is found. I have my router set up for auto DHCP & pretty much everything else on default. Double checked the cables, they are fine. Somehow WHS will not connect to my WRT54G (V. 6, w/latest firmware update 1.025!)
Server console page gives error message at "Verifying that your router supports UPnP standards", "Verifying that your router is accepting web site connections" and Verifying that your router is accepting Remote Access connections". Yet, when I log into router at 192.168.1.1/Manage.htm it says UPnP is enabled. The rest of the networked computers work just fine. But apparently I have trouble between WHS and WRT54G. Is this a UPnP issue? If so, how resolve? MS's web site is really weak on WHS troubleshooting.
ANY ADVISE?????

I think I know your problem: on your WHS machine, go start>right click "My computer">properties>hardware>device manager... I'm guessing you have a yellow question mark sign over your ethernet controller, and no listing for "Network adapters". If this is the case, then basically the WHS install didn't recognise you LAN, so it can't communicate with your network and hence isn't being assigned an IP by your DHCP router. To solve, open you computer, and read off the motherboard product id and manufacturer. Go to their website, find the downloads section, find your motherboard id (i'm assuming you're using the onboard LAN) and download the LAN driver. Move the files over to the desktop of your WHS with a USB key or something, extract and run the installer. Restart, and if we're onto the right thing, then voila! I hope this is it... -Dave

Several sever Problems with firefox

I'm really disaapointed with the new Version of FireFox. Till Version 8, after every update ther was an improvement of several features, but frfom than on, it's getting worse.
Since than Firefox is starting slower and slower and it dioesn't matter how much tabs are open after the last close of Firefox ot how much add onss are aktivated. Today Firefox needs up to one minute to be ready to use. Often it returns to a non responding state.
I'm running on Windows 7 64bit Ultimate and did not have any Problems with Versions till 8. I own two desktops.
One with the Ultimate edition of Windows 7 and one with the home premium edition. The Ultimate is having 8GB Main memory and the other one is using 6 GB as Main Memory and here are the most problems. Both desktops are Multicore processor machines with more than 2400 GhZ speed, which should be enough for the machine and for Firefox.
The difference is also the use of a different Antivirus Programs. On the Home Premium machine there is running Kaspersky Internet Suite, and on the other Norton Antivirus internet Security.
The startup behaviour on both machines is equal. Slow, Slower , slowest. On Home Premium machine (6GB) there is an ammusing Problem with a special URL, which works fine on the Ultimate machine. The URL is http://www.autoscout24.de/.
When using this page you can do everything on both machines till the moment you select a car you want to have details. The details are shown quit well but if you tab the back button, the home premium machine is staying on the same side and die not go back to the prevous side as the other did. The Home Premium machine is going into "not Responding" state and never turns back. Disableing of Kaspersky didn't realy work, Clearng the cache of Firefox did'nt really work and reinstallation of Firefox did'nt work at all. ''What is happening with Firefox''
On Both Machines I tried to give a feedback with the function in the "Help Menu". On Both machines it didn't work. The best Version is the avtual Version for Ubuntu. Here everythings seems to work fine.
Till this problems are solved I'm using Opera because it is runing fast and more stable.
I was using firefox because of it's easy way to use extenssions. But as it is on Windows it is a realy noGo.

As of April 28 I was no longer able to access my Yahoo mail account from any links while using Firefox (4.0). When I clicked on the link(s) I was getting an error notice (404 Not Found). Even when I went to the Yahoo home page and tried using their link I was getting the same message.
I installed IE8 and again established MyYahoo home page with mail preview, and I was....sometimes....able to access the mail account via the links, but I was also getting substantial delays in page turning and/or complete freezes which I had to terminate with the task manager.
I then installed the Chrome browser with MyYahoo as my home page and it eliminated most all the issues, but I am still getting a delayed page turn on occasion.
In summary, it appears the problems are browser related, but I have not received any suggestions or comments from tech support forums including Yahoo customer care on how to correct these issues.
I have run malware scans (and found none) with Avast 6.0.1091, Malwarebytes, Mamutu, and Ad Aware.
I would like to repair this issue with Firefox because of all the features it offers to which I've become accustomed to using, but Chrome is much faster and it's tempting to just switch altogether.

Several Download problem's and proposal solutions

- Server name download-uk.oracle.com/otn/linux/oracle9i
- Filename lnx_920_disk1.cpio.gz
I have tried to download this and two other files, it always fail.
I have tried several tools both within windows and linux.
I have only succeed starting the download with a browser,
unable to download with the given link, got a jsp file instead.
I have tried with tools like 'wget' 'ncftpget', ... otnLogin.jsp got received.
With the browser I got a broken 630Mbyte file!
It should be nice to have the possibility to download rest of the file with
'rsync', 'rsync' have the possiblity to download only the corrupted part,
instead of download an other broken <650Mbyte file again you download
the minor part that is missing or is corrupted.
How do I get correct path to the file and is it possible for Oracle to
enable to download with 'rsync' program?
There exist 'rsync' binaries for Windows, Linux and Sun. There is no problem
recompiling the source on any unix system.

A couple of tests:
1. Create a Dummy User account with full Admin Read/Write permissions. Does that fix it?
2. Make certain your active User account has full Read/Write permissions for the storage location of both: The Catalog, and The Image Files.

WRT54G Problem

I've got a WRT54G v2, however, I've got some problem of it when due with ftp service. I've set the ftp service at my wireless router and it works fine. However, after a period of time, the ftp service is unable to connect, even I reset the router or import the saved settings. It only works again when I reset the router to factory default and re-configure the whole settings. I've tired to upgrade the firmware to latest version but the problem still exists. Please help.

Lawrence, I've suddenly got the same problem with mine and it's a v 3.1 of yours! Only I left my installation CD in my winter home. I forgot my security code and everything. So I have to stay tied to my cable connection. What a drag!
I hope someone can tell us how to get the darn thing working. I even tried making another wireless connection to no avail.

Severe wireless problems; MacBook Pro 13inch Early 2011

I just installed updates on my MacBook Pro 13inch early 2011. I now have severe problems with my wireless. What can I do to undo the updates? One of them was a firmare update.

There is generally no need to undo the Updates, just Re-Do your wireless setup:
System Preferences > Netowrk > WiFi > ( Assist Me ) ...

Be sure to specify a new Location.

Wrt54g problem getting to microsoft sites...

I have a wireless wrt54g and cannot get to some microsoft sites such as updates and downloads. When I disconnect my wireless router and go directly from the modem, no problem. I am running 3 vista machines and one xp machine and they all have the exact same problem. No microsoft updates and downloads when using the wireless router - no problem directly from the modem. Does this make sense to anybody?

I am running WRT54G Version 8 and everything is running fine on my three computers (1 XP, 1 Vista, and 1 Win 98SE) plust 1 wireless print server. I tried Microsoft updates and can connect with out any problem when connected to router wirelessly. Google.ca or .com works also.
If you have not changed any settings in your router, everything should work ok. Microsoft updates for XP & Vista came out this week.

WRT54GS Problems

I'm having a few problems with my WRT54GS router. I'm sure the problem isn't with my DSL modem, since when I tried my connection without the router, it worked perfectly. Anyway, the problem is that there are times that the router would suddenly get disconnected, then it gives me a really hard time before I can reconnect. I keep getting this error:
CLICK HERE FOR IMAGE, since the big screen shot was messing up the forum width
My router is also using Firmware Version: v7.50.0. There's a 7.50.2 version of the firmware. Would this solve my problem?
Thank you for your time.

It seems to be more or less the same problem as I have. See my [url=http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=64460&jump=true#M64460]post[/url]
