  • Hp v40 on xp desktop and is shared via wireless network. laptop with windows 7 wont print on v40.

    Can't print from laptop (windows 7) via wireless router .to desktop (windows xp) with usb attached HP v40 all in one.
    Laptop (7) ----- wireless router ----- desktop (xp) - -usb-- HPv40
    Worked when laptop was running xp.
    Laptop spools print job to desktop and seemingly completes, but the desktop simply ignores the print job.
    No error messages.
    printing from the desktop work just fine.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I am reporting this as solved. I submitted this problem. The problem started when updated my laptop from Windows XP to Windows 7. When I did, The Lexmark printer on my desktop worked find with the new laptop system. The HP V40 did not work. The Desktop simply received each print job submitted from the Laptop (via a wireless local network) and discarded it. I could see the print job come into the V40 print queue and could see it disappear.
    Here is what I did to solve the problem:
    I tried a dozen or so combinations of removing and installing the printer on both my Windows 7 laptop and my Windowx XP desktop (with the V40 attached via USB), and manually removing and installing print drivers on my desktop  PC, it finally works. What did I do? I have no idea, but I believe that manually removing the v40 drivers on the desktop was part of the solution. While viewing the available printers on my XP desktop, I clicked on File and one of the tabs led me to a place where I could remove drivers for each printer ( I just removed the ones for the V40).
    Here is what I DID NOT DO:
    I did not follow the advice of the HP support person that I contacted via the telephone. That advice was to reinstall Windows XP on my desktop. That clearly was not the problem when I spoke to him. But he would NOT listen to reason. Thankfully, I have enough PC knowledge to know that his advice bas bogus
    I am pleased with the resulting availablilty of the V40 again.
    I have no idea how to officially close this problem.
    I would be happy to discuss this with anyone else who has a similar problem, but when I submitted this problem with my name and email address, the moderator removed my problem submission. Hence, I think anyone who wants to know more is out of luck.

  • Sharing a wireless network with a non-wirless PC

    Have browsed the forum but didn't find an answer I understood to this problem.
    I have wireless network at home driven by a Netgear wireless router - my broadband is wired to this. My iMacG5, and two PC laptops connect wirelessly. I also have an Airport Express which has been used to stream music to my stereo.
    I now want to connect my wife's work laptop. This does not have wireless. My goal is to have the AE in our office upstairs, and configure it such that I can plug an ethernet cable from the AE unit to my wife's laptop. SImple. But not working.....
    So can an AE unit be used this way?
    Help!

    Your best bet is to get some sort of wireless card for the notebook. If you dont have a pci lot look into a USB version.

  • Solved. Travel router WTR54GS sharing one wireless hotspot connection with multiple devices

    Hi, Passing on info I've learned.
    The manual for the WTR54GS mentions being able to "...use multiple devices on a single hotspot account in a coffee shop or airport lounge...". See my original posting, "How to set up a wireless private bubble at paid hotspot? WTR54GS?", which ended in a dead end. I subsequently had a Linksys live chat session and the representative provided the solution. Perhaps worthy to be included in the Wireless FAQ?
    Situation: you have access to a paid hotspot (hotel room, meeting room, etc.) and you want to share the connection with several devices, also wirelessly.
    Solution: the WTR54GS can accept an incoming Internet connection wirelessely and re-broadcast that connection to form your own private bubble or network. (Note the WTR54GS can also accept an incoming Internet connection via Ethernet cable).
    Linksys Live Chat pointed me to these web pages.
    Go to the Linksys Easy Answers page: For a schematic of the concept of "associating the travel router to a hotspot (wirelessly)" search for Easy Answer ID# 4831
    URL for above is http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=4831&p_created=1167963305&p_sid=GmLnq3Zi&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NjImcF9wcm9kcz0wJnBfY2F0cz0xNzIxLDE3MjMmcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0yLjE3MjMmcF9zY2ZfbGFuZz0xJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9V1RSNTRHUw**&p_li=&p_topview=1
    There is a "configuration simulator" that shows the options for selecting a wired or wireless incoming Internet Type.
    http://linksys.com/ui/files/WTR54GS/1.0_15/Setup-Wireless.htm
    The hotspot has to be "open", that is transmitting an SSID and with no WEP or WPA key. It may have a log-in page accessible via a web browser, this is okay as this will be passed onto the connected device.
    My personal application is to be able to connect a PDA that has a 801.2b wifi to a 801.2g wireless network. I haven't tried it but if this works, it will extend the useful life of my PDA in a "g" environment. Will report back once I find a "g" only environment. Comments?

    There are two conditions which must be met in order to use your WTR54GS to "extend" an incoming, wireless internet connection:
    The incoming connection must be unsecured.  You have already covered this point;
    The security settings on your WTR54GS can only be set to "WEP," or to "Disabled."  If you choose "WEP," then you can use either a 40/64-bit, or a 128-bit key.
    If those two conditions have been met, then it works fine -- says the guy who is sharing one paid internet conneciton in his hotel amongst three devices, and with co-workers in nearby rooms.  

  • Wireless Networks Problems with Xbox - Airport express

    Hi Hope someone can help
    Wireless setup & Hardware
    I have a PC running XP and the wireless Router is connected directly with RJ45 cable into the Netgear DG834GT
    I have a iMac G5 which has no problems getting onto the wireless network
    I have a Airport Express unit where all my music is streamed into another room and that works fine, but my problem is I cannot get the xbox I have just purchased to work ie (xbox Live etc) which is attached with RJ45 cable direct to Airport Express.
    I have installed lastest firmware for all devices, ie Airport Express, DG834GT
    My Wireless Security settings have been set to WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi protected access pre shared key) I must admit I tried to set WEP security at first but had no Luck, so I don't know if I've done right thing
    When I look at attached devices on router software it shows me correctly that there are 3 computers on network I can view IP address and MAC address
    My Question is should the Xbox work ok with my setup?
    Should the Xbox not get all network infomation automatic
    Do I need to manual set the xbox with Network settings?
    Or am I missing something, any help would be Great

    Hello,
    I don't know if this link will help but, give it a shot. I have the same setup as you but, I have a PS2 instead. I believe you have to manually adjust some settings on the XBox.

  • 802.1X wireless network problems with Intel Mac

    To login to the wireless network at my school I have to use an 802.1X connection authenticating with TTLS, TLS, EAP-FAST and PEAP protocols.
    This works intermitently. Some days my MacBook logs on quickly with no problems at all but most days it has a self assigned IP address and I can't use the internet. My friend also uses a MacBook, which acts in the same way. Some days she manages to get on, some days I can get on and some days we are both on together. The problem is really irritating!! We get no support from the techs as we are the only Mac people in the school. The rest of the staff have PCs. The techs are just trying to use this issue to justify why letting people lease Macs is a problem and stop other staff from leasing them in the future.
    I did find a solution at
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=425113&tstart=0
    but this was written in 2006 and I wonderered if this was still valid.
    Can anyone help? please???

    I am a tech at our school and we have the same problems. still trying to find a permanent solution!
    If you turn airport off, then turn on again, (from system prefs > network) does it change from "self-assigned IP Address" to "Authenticated via PEAP)?
    the macs are more and more popular at our school, so its becoming more and more of an issue.

  • Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter - With any driver: "The device instance name is invalid"

    Hello there,
    I was trying to install various "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" drivers, with versions ranging from 2007 to 2010, both from the manufacturer and specifically for this computer (a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile) and others from here:
    http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=22&system=3
    All of them are for Windows Vista 32bit.
    The computer had previous drivers installed and working, but also had a network problem. In the process of figuring out what was causing it, I tried to install newer drivers to see if that was the problem. It turns out the network problem was due to a different
    thing that is now fixed (some dependencies of the WLAN Configuration service were turned off), but I'm still stuck installing the new drivers.
    TL;DR:
    However, every time I install new drivers, after install, Windows says that
    "The device instance name is invalid", regardless of what drivers I install. I even tried to install drivers for different hardware in that slot just to see what it told me and IT STILL gave me the same error. I also tried to uninstall the
    current driver, checking the box to delete the driver's software, running CCleaner and then deleting
    "athr.sys" from the Windows/Drivers folder and
    "oem8.inf" from Windows/Inf as those files were referenced in the driver's properties. The install still gives me the same error.
    The fact that it gives me this error with any driver leads me to believe it's Windows' fault and not the driver's.
    Note: I am translating from the original in Portuguese. "The device instance name is invalid" is the closest/correct translation and seems about right with the info I find online regarding the english version of Vista and how it refers to devices.
    This (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/yFa_XnlcLJQ) and this (http://finderr.net/windows/pt-PT/O-nome-da-inst%C3%A2ncia-do-dispositivo-%C3%A9-inv%C3%A1lido-/2082573452) also seems to confirm that, though it
    doesn't help me. It may be that the text is actually different in english Vista but I also searched for driver instead of device or stuff like "The device instance name appears to be invalid" and can't find anything either.
    I also did SFC /SCANNOW a while ago and it found no errors.  I then repeated it again after this problem and this time, SFC found errors BUT it couldn't repair all of them. Here is the CBS log:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/bayum2rsezxpmre/CBS.log
    Thank you for the help!
    EDIT: The Notebook model is a Fujitsu-Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5535 and their support drivers can be found here (after specifying the OS and model):
    http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ShowFiles.asp
    EDIT2:
    The last SFC /scannow scan repaired everything left to repair. The system restore option can't be used because the earliest one still has the (suposedly faulty) drivers installed.
    This computer has a Win Vista serial number, but no CD and the second partition doesn't have any kind of backup. The second partition is empty though. So, as a last resort, if I really don't have a choice, I'll try to do an upgrade install to see if that fixes
    it and if that still doesn't fix it I'll have to move everything in the users folder to the second partition and format the first which is a bummer :/
    EDIT: Here is the setup.api.log that was inside C:\Windows\Inf and details the instalation process of all the drivers:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyxs1e4r7rxofch/setupapi.dev.log
    I'm still trying to read into that setup.api.log file.

    So, can I assume that the only way to fix this error is to download an iso of Windows Vista, unninstall my service packs, upgrade install Vista, run Vistalizator to change the language to Portuguese and then install Service Pack 1 & 2?
    EDIT: Alright, so I formatted the thing since the driver bug wouldn't give me a break. The details on that can be found searching for the same thread title either on tomshardware or vistaforums if anyone happens to find this looking for the same error.
    I have a real knack for bumping heads with errors that nobody else gets that somehow turn into unfixable bugs. At least if someone else searches for this problem they'll know what to do.

  • Wireless Network Management with Multiple SSIDs in one Wireless Profile

    Could anybody explain me about how Multiple SSIDs in one Wireless Network Name (Network Profile) ? Configuration will be pushed to Windows 7 Pro from Wins Server 2008 R2.
    Objective: Multiple office locations will have different SSIDs and when the laptop user travels one location to another, he/she could connect to wireless networks at any offices without any configuration change but utilizing "Automatically use my Windows
    logon name and password (and domain if any.)" setting in EAP MSCHAPv2 properties. 
    Network Name: Enterprise
    SSIDS: SFO-WIFI, LAX-WIFI,CHI-WIFI,NYC-WIFI,
    Network Type:Access Point
    Security Type: WPA2-Enterprise
    Encryption Type: AES
    Network Authentication Method: Microsoft:Protect EAP(PEAP)
    My question is: (1) Will Windows try all the SSIDs in order to get connected to the Wireless Network at the office? (Let's say, user is in NYC, but will Windows try to find SFO-WIFI SSID first, wait until time out, retry?, and moves on to LAS-WIFI SSID,
    wait until time out, retry?, and moves on to CHI-WIFI and finally tries NYC-WIFI SSID and found the SSID in the beacon from Access Point and authenticates through RADIUS?
    (2) If the answer is YES, what is the waiting time/timeout setting for one SSID before moves on to another?
    (3) If the answer is NO, what is the process to get user connected to NYC-WIFI SSID when he/she is in NYC office within the range of that SSID?

    Hello Ninjago_2224,
    About the multiple office location have different SSIDs, does the location A has the signal used in
    location D?
    Please go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
    , and then click Manage wireless networks.
    The windows will try to connect to these networks in the order listed.
    Please check if the four SSID pushed by Windows Server 2008 is listed as mentioned above.
    If the location A have the location D SSID and the location D SSID has higher priority, the Windows will connect to
    location D SSID.
    So about the question 1, the Windows will try the SSID in order.
    About the question 2, I can’t find the accurate time that test one SSID and move to another. But based on my test, it is very fast.
    For more information, please take a look at the following article.

  • Sharing Canon Wireless Network Printer on Snow Leopard Server

    Trying to setup a wireless printer to share on the LAN via Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, however the sharing option is not available.
    Configuration:
    Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server (latest updates etc.) (static IP)
    TimeCapsule Wireless network (static IP)
    Canon MP620 Wireless printer (static IP)
    Two MacBook's (DHCP)
    Printer drivers (network drivers, and scanner drivers) from Canon installed on Mac Mini and printer is connected and setup via wireless network on Mac Mini; it is operational and can print from Mac Mini directly without problem
    Sharing option on Mac Mini for the printer is missing in Print Settings (missing checkbox), so unable to share the printer on MacBook's via the Mac Mini, also under Sharing Settings the printer option is not there (assuming because share this printer option is not in the print settings)
    Ideally, I want to setup the printer on the Mac Mini as a print server, without having to hardline (USB) the printer to the Mac Mini.
    Thanks for any help, ideas etc.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    On OS X Server, you need to use the Server Admin utility (Applications > Server ) to share the local print queue. This requires the Print service to be added/started and then a queue created for the local printer.
    Seems unusual that you would want to share a wireless printer from the server. The MacBook 'clients' would still be able to connect directly to this printer without having to connect via the server share so without knowing all the details of your setup it just seems an odd requirement.

  • Disabled wireless network router with WD World Book

    I have recently updated iTunes and now everytime I start it up it says Updating iTunes Library, then after approx 1 minute the wireless network adaptor on my pc is disabled. The only way to re-enable it is to shut down the pc then then restart it. I've tried updating the drivers on the WPN111 USB adaptor but it hasn't made any difference.
    I'm using an external WD World book to store my music folders and I'm guessing it's something to do with this and iTunes?

  • Extending a wireless network n with an airport express g?

    I have my wireless network set up using a first gen airport extreme n base station.i now need to extend my network with my airport express g. Is this possible? To use my g airport express on a wireless n network?
    Thanks

    It's possible if you configure both AirPorts to "Participate in a WDS network".
    The upside to this is that you will have more wireless coverage.
    But the downsides are considerable:
    WDS operates only in "g" wireless mode, so you would lose all "n" wireless capability of the AirPort Extreme
    The bandwidth will be cut in half on the entire network. In effect, you will have a "g" wireless network running at half speed
    WDS is difficult for most users to configure. It 's easy to make a mistake and hard to recover without starting all over again on the setup
    I am not recommending WDS, but if you want to try it, Apple's instructions are here:

  • Add AE for air tunes to wireless network running with AE.

    I am sorry if this is a duplicate.. I did search but it is hard to distill out the different set up issues.
    Previously I had my imac hooked up via ethernet and used an AE to stream my tunes into the living room.
    I got a lap top at work and needed to be able to use it wirelessly at the same time my daughter gave me an AE. so I hooked up the recent AE to my cable modem using an ethernet cable and created a network that both my iMac and my mac laptop use for internet access.
    I forgot about the itunes as I had not been using it alot when the good weather came and I was outdoors so much, using the laptop So today, I try and turn on my itunes to stream into the living room and realize that AE had it's own network set up for streaming and that I needed to get the original AE to talk to the more recent AE, which is in the position of being my wirless hub. So I tried opening A set up utility to see if I can add the AE into the network. Not sure if this is the correct step but thought it was worth a try. But the utility software does not recognze there is this other AE out there.
    What do I do to bring the original AE into the network?
    Michelle

    Try the following:
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX that will be used for iTunes.
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    To set up AirTunes on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    AirPort tab
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Wireless Mode: Join an Existing Wireless Network (Wireless Client)
    o Wireless Network: <select the existing AX's wireless network>
    Music tab
    o Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    o Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    o iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

  • Macbook wireless network question with vista and xp PLEASE HELP

    Ok I just bought a macbook computer and introduced it to a windows family using vista and xp computers. I was able to set up wireless networking and surf the internet with all computers. However I cannot see the windows computers from the mac but can see the mac on the windows computers. I have a linksys wrt54g router. I tried everything and Im unable to see other computers or the printer thats attached to the desktop pc using vista. I went ahead and purchased the extreme airport router and after being on the phone with apple care for 3 hours and reformatting the operating system on the mac I was finally able to see the other pc's and installed bonjour for windows on all windows based pc's and was able to print from the mac without a glitch but the windows based pc's were horribly very very slow printing using bonjour. Needless to say I didnt want to spend all the extra money on a apple router for all this to work and after doing so the printing from windows machines just plain *****. So I returned the airport extreme and Im back to the linksys. When the linksys wrt54g is hooked up I cannot see the printer or other windows machines. Any ideas please to keep my current setup so I dont have to go out and by more apple products for everything to play nice. Thanks

    What is the exact model number of your Linksys router for this Linksys forum??
