Trouble hooking up a PC to my wireless network

I've been using an Airport Express for years now to broadcast wireless internet to my Mac laptop and to my roommate's Mac laptop with no problems. We even had a guest over once with a PC who was able to connect to our wireless network fine once we changed the password to 13 characters.
But... now I have a new roommate who has a PC (Compaq Presario laptop) and I can't seem to figure out how to get her hooked up to my wireless network that the AE is broadcasting. Her PC detects my wireless network, and when I click on "connect" on her PC her PC does connect (or says it does anyhow), but then her PC says "Limited or no connectivity: You might not be able to access the Internet or some network resources. This problem occured because the network did not assign a network address to the computer."
Huh? Why not? (Sorry, I'm not very literate in these matters.) Help!

marsstars, Welcome to the discussion area!
This message usually appears if you have "access control" (MAC address filtering) enabled and the connecting computer's MAC address has not been added to the list.
Since this offers no real security, the best solution is to disable "access control".

  • Trouble with cut and paste password for wireless network

    Command - C, Command-V did not let me paste wireless password from text edit. Any suggestions as to why? I was able to do so with right click.

    It is one of mine. Yes. It connects to it no problem, just doesn't connect to the actual internet. Network diagnostics has all green lights until the ISP and/or Internet point. If I walk through diagnostics, it will get to the point where it says that the network requires a WEP password. I don't know why it does that because my network is not password-protected (husband claims it doesn't work well with his VPN system to get into work network). If I leave it blank, the connection will work. Eventually, after the computer is put to sleep, I will have the same problem upon waking up. I just tried renaming the network and removing all preferred networks and rebooting. Let's see how that works.

  • Trouble accessing the internet on a WRT54G wireless router

    I’ve run into a problem setting up a wireless network at my friends’ house. The problem is accessing the internet from the wireless PC that has a WMP11 Wireless PCI Card to a WRT54G wireless router.
    The wireless PC is running Windows XP and it sees and connects to the router with “excellent” signal strength but will not connect to the internet.
    The router is currently set to WEP 128 bit encryption security. I’ve tried disabling the wireless security all together but when I do that the wireless PC no longer sees the router.
    I have no trouble connection to the internet thru the wireless network I have set up at my house when I bring his computer there. But my router is an older Linksys 802.11b so maybe that’s why.
    Anyone have any ideas what I should try other than telling him to buy a new wireless G adapter card?

    If earlier your Wireless Adapter is working fine with the same network & computer .... try upgrading the drivers of the aqdapter .... from http://linksys.com/download  .... uninstall the older drivers & reinstall newer drivers ....

  • Blank window when connecting to public wireless network

    I'm having trouble connecting my Macbook Pro to the wireless network at my folks' nursing home. The MBP can see the private and public networks, but when I try to connect to the public network, a blank window pops up - no text or buttons. My nephew's Windows laptop connects with no problems. I'm running 10.7 (Lion). Any ideas?

    A guess would be that your university uses a different encryption than your home wireless and that your driver has problems with that. If you search this bbs with your driver's name (and that encryption), you will also encounter a number of freeze problems when using newer kernels. However, those drivers and kernels move quick, so if you see an error in a post from 2 months ago, the error might have vanished already.
    Second, you should find out the card you are using with
    lspci -nn | grep Realtek

  • Trouble Hooking up E2500 Wi-Fi Router

    I just purchased this router and am having trouble hooking it up to my old HP Pavilion a1250n PC-I am currently using a wireless broadband card to access the Internet-Directions tell me to connect the router to my modem.  I have no external modem.  Do I have to obtain one?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You probably have DSL service right? Then follow these instructionsions here.  You may have a direct connection with no modem if something like ATT fibre dsl.

  • 3510 all in one having trouble connecting to new wireless network

    Ok - just to update, at least the drivers are downloadable now ... I'll see if that resolves my issue. 

    Hi guys.  I just switched to a new modem through my ISP (Rogers) that has a built in router and a much faster connection.  (Previously, this 3510 printer was working just fine over my network with a modem and a router that was separate.)  My computer is hooked into the internet via a direct cable and everyone else in the household connects via wireless, which has been set up and works well.  For some reason though, my 3510 refuses to play nice with the modem and connect to the network.   I've tried plugging it in via usb cable, then going into the settings and clicking on the "convert a usb connected printer to wireless" option.  I hit "yes, access the computer or router", then next, it finds my wireless network with no trouble and I type in the required password and "next" - it then takes a while to go through it's "setting up printer on network" .... and then after a while, I get a "MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router" error.  There IS no MAC filtering.  I have "allow all" set on the router.  This shouldn't be an issue.   Has anyone else had this problem?  Is it just a thing with the newer modem/router combos and these older HP printers?  I tried to update the driver, but your website doesn't seem to be letting folks do that at the moment (some error you're fixing, it says?). If you have any suggestions on how I could get past this problem, I'd really appreciate it.  It's driving me NUTS.  Thanks!  All the best, -- Jodi

  • Home wireless network trouble

    I got a new wireless router, Netgear WPN824 from Newegg, a refurbished product. I set up a home wireless network using the online manual on the Netgear website. The router works well for the wired setup. But I could not connect to wireless.
    My wireless network shows up on the list of available wireless networks. I can connect to other wireless networks such as that of my neighbour's. I tried connecting to my network using both unsecured and secure WEP / WPA modes. Except once, I could never connect. That one time, as soon as I could connect and verify that I was indeed connected I thought the problem was resolved and so shutdown my system to see if i could connect again - alas, same trouble again. I use NetworkManager to connect, and here's the output for two networks - jaydoc which is my home network, and linksys, that of my neighbour's to which i can always connect.

    Is the wireless router i got a dud, being refurbished i took my chances and maybe i wasn't so lucky..! Or is it something wrong in my network settings..? I tried shutting down everything and then turning the modem, then the router and finally the PC without the ethernet cable connected. Still I am unable to connect.
    Any help is deeply appreciated. I am a total newbie in networking...!

    So if its still a DHCP problem, it seems to be affecting only the wireless part. How can I make wireless use the same DHCP servers as the wired..? Or is there something else wrong here..?

    So, just make sure the printer and the iPad are connected to the same Wireless network.
    The Printer should automatically apear in the Print popup as an available printer on the iPad.

  • Trouble joining an existing wireless network

    Here's my situation... I moved to a new apartment where we have a linksys wireless network that is password protected. I want to use my Airport Express so that I can access the linkysys in my apartment and use my printer and listen to music wirelessly. But I have trouble accessing both on this network.
    However... I can pick up my neighbor's signal perfectly (it's not password protected) and use the printer and speakers. (it is also a linksys router).
    My question is what am I doing wrong or what do I need to do differently to access this on the router in my apartment?

    Try this.
    You need to create a WEP 40/128-bit hex wireless network which requires a 26 character password for your older mac to connect. There should be a security option to make this type when you set-up your wireless router/network. I did it with my Linksys router. All laptops, iPod Touch and iMac G4 work great. However, this network (WEP) is not as secure as WPA/WPA2.
    Good luck.

    Hi,
    You need a wireless network for your printer to be able to "talk" with your laptop. Using wireless router (or access point) is the normal way. Please use the following manual (from page #5) to hook your printer to your home network:
        http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01796502.pdf
    After that, you have to download drivers and software from the following link to install to your laptop:
