Tecra A8: Unable to set up a wireless connection with WEP KEY encription

Hello.
I've just got a new TECRA A8-143, and I'm unable to connect to my 3COM wireless ADSL Modem when the WEP Key encription in enabled. As soon as the encription is switched off I'm connected to the internet, any suggestions!!
Thanks

Delete the wireless profile in the intel software under profiles. Then search for new networks while WEP or WPA is switched on in the router. The intel software should find it. Then press connect - it should ask you for the key. Type in the correct key or passphrase and it should work.

Can I set 1 laptop wireless connect with static IP to WRT610N?

I have a WRT610N with 3 PCs wired and various wireless devices accessing. 1 of the wireless devices, running Windows 7, needs to run a static IP. Do/Can I set this up in the router or do I need to do in the PC?

You can use DHCP reservation in the router to assign a fixed IP address to the PC.
Or you can set the static IP address on the PC directly.

Unable to set wireless connection with imac and Canon MX860 printer ...

I recently converted to a Mac and bought a Mac Book, iMac, Airport Extreme, and a Canon MX860 printer. i have installed the canon software numerous times on my iMac to set up the wireless connection. yes, the airport extreme recognizes the printer and i am able to connect to my private and guest networks. the signal strength is good. It's the next part that I'm always stuck at. The Printer settings does not display when i choose More Printers and select Canon IJ Network. I called Apple support and we tried changing my network settings to an unsecured network and it still has the same issue. It was recommended this may be Canon driver issue and advised me to contact Canon. I reset the Airport, changed my network name and password .. i think i tried everything and it still does not work. What was I thinking when i said i wanted to convert to Mac? I can't move forward and connect my macbook or pc yet until I successfully connect the imac. Yes, i installed the latest canon IJ Network tool. of course the USB connection is fine but that defeats the whole purpose if why i bought this printer. please advise how to fix. this is getting very frustrating.

Some help at http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A perhaps in the comments.
And maybe at http://www.amazon.com/Canon-PIXMA-MX860-Wireless-Printer/product-reviews/B001R4C 5BK in the comments.
"I ran into the same network installation issue that I've seen in other Canon printers. Canon's network setup forces you to connect by USB cable first. Only after you tell the program that you want to use the computer over the network can you remove the USB cable, move the printer if needed, and if you're using a wired connection, reconnect a network cable. The process isn't particularly difficult, but it's more cumbersome than what other printers let you do, which is simply put the printer where you want it, plug in an Ethernet cable, and install the software." source = http://shop.pcmag.com/shop/product/pcmag/84634068.aspx?SB=6&OB=1
"MAC wireless network printer setup requires turning off firewall, and works fine if you leave firewall off (not recommended). If you set firewall at "essential connections only," wireless networked MX860 won't work. You must add MP navigator and solution apps to your firewall enabled list. Then it worked fine on the admin account, but still won't work on users account which required additional permission settings and selections. After 2 hours it worked fine, but I would've expected better instruction manual for MAC." source = http://cnet.nytimes.com/multifunction-devices/canon-pixma-mx860/4852-3181_7-3352 9769.html
"The only trouble that I have had with this machine is setting up the wireless network. The manual instructions are impossible for me to understand and I ended up having to call for assistance. Which easily solved the problem. And again when I had to reconfigure my network settings it was impossible to follow the logarithm of instructions in the manual. Again I needed to call for assistance. If I need help after the year manufacture's warranty I will be charged for these calls." source = http://www.zimbio.com/InkjetPrinter+Reviews/articles/1932/Canon+PIXMA+MX860+Wireless+One+PhotoPrinter
Even Windows people have trouble:
"I NEED INTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO CONNECT MY HP LAPTOP TO THE CANON MX860 PRINTER."
"I'm with you. I have my mx860 connected usb to my pc with the printer being shared but my wireless laptop can't find it no matter what I try."
And, unhappy Vista person:
"I had high hopes for this printer - it seemed to have it all. But the wireless feature never worked, it only worked on my gigabit network for about two weeks (only THREE print jobs including the test print), and never observed it to work via USB - Vista (x64 Ultimate) would throw an error saying it could not attach the device."

I am unable to join my existing wireless network with new AirPort Express

I am unable to join my existing wireless network with new AirPort Express.
I am using a DLink DI-524 Router, Windows 7 (64), and the AirPort Express.
AirPort Utility will not recognize the AEX wirelessly, it will only recognize it when it is connected by Ethernet. I can then configure the AEX and verify that the settings stick once disconnected and then reconnected. However, even after that, it will not recognize the AEX once disconnected from the Ethernet cable.
I followed the suggestions of several other threads on these forums. But I am unable to get the AEX to work.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the discussion area!
It's almost always a security setting that causes problems when the Airport Express (AX) tries to join a third party wireless network. The AX usually does not "join" correctly and that's why you can't see it on your wireless network using AirPort Utility.
Using an ethernet cable is still the more reliable way to configure and adjust the AX, but if you are want to try to configure it using wireless, you must return the AX back to factory defaults as follows:
Power down the AX
Hold in the reset button +and keep holding it in+ as you plug the AX back in to power
Release the reset button after 10 seconds
When it is set to factory defaults, the AX broadcasts a wireless signal with a network name like "apple network xxxxxx" where the "x's" are either letters or numbers. You must look for this network by clicking on the fan shaped Airport icon at the top of the screen. If you don't see this network, then click Join Other Network to search that way. Unless you connect to this network, you will not be able to configure the AX using wireless.
Do you know the exact security type that your D-Link router is using? That is the key element in the process.
Open AirPort utility, click Manual Setup
Click the Base Station tab to establish a name for the AX, device password and adjust time zone settings
Click the Wireless tab
Wireless Mode....Join a wireless network
Wireless Network Name...must exactly match your D-Link wireless network name
Enable ethernet clients if you want the port to be active (your D-Link must be compatible with ProxySTA for this to work)
Wireless Security...exact setting of the D-Link network. WEP security causes a lot of issues. Try to use WPA/WPA2 Personal, which is far more secure.
Wireless Password...must match the D-Link network
Click the Music icon to enable AirTunes
Click Update to save settings
Any luck?

My guess is that the security settings on your router and iPod do not match.
For a test, change your router so there is no security. See if you can connect and get to the Internet. If that works, set up the router with security and use the same settings for the iPod.

Mac OS X 10.6 Help: Sharing your Internet connection

I need help in setting up a wireless connection

I need help in setting up a wireless connection.
I have a 2005 iMac G5 and currently I am using a Qwest DSL Modem with a Belkin router.
Qwest suggested that I buy a new wireless modem/router. It may be the Motorola 3347 or another wireless modem. I am worried about security when on the internet and have read about changing the SSID password and use the WPA for encryption. All of this is a mystery to me.
Also, I would like to buy from Directv the Linksys wireless adapter to use on my HD-DVR receiver to get their “On Demand Movies.”
My question is, does my iMac G5 have all of the security I need to use a wireless modem, and with the Linksys adapter can I view my photos or DVD’s in iMovie wirelessly to my TV in the living room?
I am concerned about security with a wireless setup, but it seems that all of the new TV’s have the ability to have a wireless connection to the internet.
Any suggestions would help me.
Thanks,
DaisyMay

Lost wireless connection with mx860

i lost my wireless connection with my mx860 - please help, i have tried it all
thank you

Did you solve your printer connection problem? I have the same issue. When I first turn the system on, it is connected. But after a short time (a few minutes?) it loses connection between Mac and printer, even tho both are connected to my WIFI. I have to turn the printer and and off to reconnect it to the Mac. Very frustrating. I have checked Netgear, Printer and Mac settings and can't find any explanation.

Unable to make RMI-based JMX connection with post login stored admin creden

I don't know for sure, but perhaps the password encryption method uses something from the server to generate a key/seed for the encryption?
Try and manually reset the credentials to see if it helps
1. Edit the j2ee/home/config/system-jazn-data.xml file.
2. Find the oc4jadmin user entry and modify the credentials tag to look like the following
               <user>
                    <name>oc4jadmin</name>
                    <display-name>OC4J Administrator</display-name>

                    <credentials>!welcome1</credentials>
               </user>3. Restart the container and see if you can then login using oc4jadmin/welcome1.
No guarantees, but its worth a shot.

Zyxel pk500z router/wireless modem loses wireless connectivity with imac

My iMac loses wireless connectivity with wirelss internet from my Qwest ZyXel PK5000Z modem/router intermittently. Have to constantly reboot the router to allow my Imac and other Mac notebooks nto reconnect to wireless internet connection.

Suggest that you take one or more of Mac laptops down to the coffee place and connect there to check your performance. If you get a good connection there....as I suspect you will...you know the Macs are functioning correctly.
If the Macs perform well at the coffee place, you need to contact the ZyXel support folks for ideas on why the PK5000Z device is requiring constant restarts.
As you might imagine....on an Apple support forum, we are not going to be able to provide much help with a ZyXel product.

T43 and Wireless connection with ATT Uverse

Hi geeks I am new. I have prob. I was having ATT DSL and as I switched to ATT Uverse I have problem to connect my T43 and T41 laptops to connect via wireless connection.
I have intelPro 2200bg wireless card(internal). I read the forums and tried evrything. Finally I went to Intel wireless card update driver website and downloaded a file. ONLY T43 got connected by wireless But on the taskbar the radio shows as Off. I wonder is it connected via my bluetooth or How and how to SWitch ON the radio on. I went and tried to switch on Wireless radio into ON mode???
Please help geeks , as I have to fix my T41 too to connect to the ATT Uverse. The ATT tech came and he too could not fix it. When I connect via Ethernet to the router I get 11.97 Mbps speed but wireless connection is the problem. I downloaded, thinkvintage toolkit, a software to find interference form cordless phone, etc, etc nothing worked.
Somehow my T43 got wireless connection. Not sure will it connect again if I switch it off.
I know little that the WPA encryption needs something diff the WEP encryption. Because my both T41 & T43 was able to wirelessly connect to my DSL router/modem.
If someone of you can throw some light it would be a great help else I may have to buy flash drive wireless card but I dunt want to occupy my flash drives as they are occupied by webcam & external speaker. Dunt like to put a flash drive hub.
Thanking you in advance.
Jas

Update on T43:
After formatting with Windows 2000 setup disk, when I used the IBM sent R&R disk I did not get the previously got "kernel_data_error BLUE system error screen. All 6 R&R original CDC got loaded into RAM and I am in the process of getting my system back to Factory State ( Just XP and IBM tools).
I would like to know is it OK to keep IBM Access Connection or Not ? I am kinda scared to remove it ; Also Since bought this T43 , now and then the Microsoft Windows auto updates did make my system from XP-Service pack 2 --> and a year ago it automatically installed Service pack 3 automatically. I just thought to mention this thinking can this be a problem in making my 2200Bg wireless to fail with Uverse ISP modem? as with the same setup/configurations the my wireless was able to connect using WEP key encryption to my previous AT&T DSL router. And Uverse Router requires WSP encryption per AT&T.
Other thing I worried was can my uninstalling Spybot and then going to McAfee Sw would have caused anyproblem to make my Wireless go wrong with UVerse, bcoz once i had problem and the McAfee tech support remotely connected to my T43 and said my registry is messed up and they have to fix it to make the McAfee work Properly.
Later when i got Uverse an AT&T friendly tech suggested that i better switch to AVG instead of McAfee; as McAfee uses too much of ram and it makes the computer to act slow and that may looks like the internet connection speed is slow.
..Anyway I am sharing these info to give as much I know thinking it may help people with same problem or the T$# geeks to think of solutions.
George, Now that i think i have made my load back to factory state and wanna see will the 2000 bg wireless will work or not before Windows starts its auto upgrade to Sv.Pk 3 version ( thinking any interference or glitch or something of that nature).
Also i am thinking of installing the new ThinkVintage tool; IS it OK?
If u get a chance please throw some light, would greatly appreciate. I will give an update if Intelpro wireless adaptor 2000bg works with AT& T uverse transition ( from DSL).
Mean while George where to you suggest me to buy parts/upgrades for this T43 (like better modem, more RAM etc. as i think like eBay or craiglist may give better pricing but i am not sure is it risky or not to buy )
If nothing works this time i am thinking of buying flash drive wireless card form best buy - please advise.
Thank you George, I am not a computer geek but i am happy that this forum exposed me to many smart thinkpad users and trouble shooters. Please give advise whenever u feel u got some solutions.
Thanks, again,
Jas
P.S. soory if my replies are long; but i thought to give more info so that u can get bettter idea of the real problem or needs of mine

Setting up a wireless network with windows XP PC

I may be getting a mac computer later this year & would like to know how to set up a wireless network between the mac & a windows XP PC. The PC has a DSL modem attached to it with a yellow line going from modem to PC & another Grey line going from the modem to the back of a phone in our kitchen. Our house is fairly big, it is one story but the rooms are sprawled out with a lot of clutter. I would like to have reliable internet access on my mac, & if it is a macbook pro I would like to be able to get to the internet throughout the house. The most important thing is stable reliable internet access as I am taking online classes. I would probably take the macbook pro into a bedroom or other adjacent room. The bedroom is further away, through 2 or 3 walls. The Adjacent rooms is one wall way.
I know this seems very basic, but I need a lot of help with this as I have never used a mac before (have been a windows user) & have never used more than just the one PC in the house, let alone a wireless network.
my mother along with I are both taking online classes, so sometimes there is competition for the the 1 computer & with my graphic design degree a mac has been recommended to me. So we are finding it would be easier to have more than one computer in the house so we can access our classes anytime.
So anyone, can this be done without breaking the bank?

I'm guessing that Modem was provided by your Internet Service Provider ?
They are the best people to talk to about upgrading that Modem to a Wireless one.
Usually if you're running a modem and phone from the same DSL line there's a small splitter box that plugs into the phone socket and then one wire connects your modem and another your phone. Picture below - if you do have one of these then post back and we can give better advice on a wireless modem to replace your current one.
