Trying to connect 2nd laptop to WRT54g,

This laptop has only XP installed, I am trting to use a wireless G card. Going through set up I am getting "wireless adptr not installd or software not installed". I didn't have this problem on other laptop, is this missing a driver or something?I tried other card still same result. Tried install with flash drive but can't plug to router as it instructs.Tried manually but it doesn't indicate where the info for WEP etc needs to be entered.

Let me know the Model number of the adapter you are using ..... on the Laptop
So that i can tell you proper steps .....

I am using a mini display port to VGA adapter. I have sucessfully hooked up boh devices but it stopped working after a handful of times. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix the problem or is my cable broken?

The problem is not the router.. the issue is the vpn has put your computer in a different IP range with a different gateway. When you turn off the vpn the computer returns to local lan and can print.
Some vpn software allows you to set gateway to use local net instead of remote gateway or access to other webistes or local lan.
Read up the issue.

I did not search much.. just grabbed the first article I could find that explains the issue.
The whole point of the vpn is whilst it is connected your computer is NOT part of the Local Lan .. it is part of the Remote LAN via the vpn tunnel.
It is also a security risk using split tunnelling so often it will not be allowed.
Plug the printer directly into the computer via usb or whatever.. Local connection will work.. not local lan.

Trying to connect second laptop wirelessly but can only use numbers in password field

I've connected my Mac and another PC to my Valet Plus with no trouble. The third PC, running Windows XP, can only be connected as a guest. When trying to connect to this laptop to the home network, the password will only accept numbers.
I've tried changing the PC's security settings, disabling the firewall, etc. Has anyone experienced this problem?

What is the service pack on your computer?
If it is windows XP service pack 1 then I think you will need to upgrade the OS to SP3. Because SP1 will not support WPA/WPA2 security mode.
When you install the router using Cisco connect, the wireless security on the router will be WPA/WPA2.

Trying to connect three laptops to a WRT54G Router

We never had this issue until today but all of a sudden, the router isn't connecting with my two sons' laptops. Mine is okay. I think the problem has something to do with us all sharing the same address. Should we each create our own network or have a unique identity number to differentiate so it will let us all be on at the same time? I'm not sure where to go to fix this. I know all the numbers and passwords to put in but seem to be missing that one piece of the puzzle to make it all work.
Thanks for your assistance.

Try to adjust the wireless settings on the router and try to reconnect the laptop again.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
Click on the Wireless tab... Wireless Network mode should be mixed...Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbors network...Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz... Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey.Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Trying to connect 2nd printer through Ethernet Port of AEX b/g

Hello all, Hello (maybe) Duane,
I do have a 2nd Airport Express b/g on our home network, and have a normal laser printer running as a wireless bonjour printer through that 2nd AEX, which is set up as a remote base station. I do have the Ethernet port free on that AEX, and want to connect a Brother 4040cn network ready color laser printer through the Ethernet port of this base station and use it as a bonjour printer? wirelessly... The AEX is set up as a remote base station to the main base station using WDS... I read a lot that the ethernet port only works when this station is in WDS mode - it is, but I still can't get it to work...
I talked to a guy at the Apple Store and he told me it should work, and that I somehow have to configure the Ethernet port of the AEX as a bridge so that could work.... ? It is not a supported solution (as expected...) so I tried to find that, but I am not able to work it out.
I can see the printer using the brother software, it shows me the status of the printer correctly, but I cannot get any printouts. The printing windows shows the printer, even lets me pick it as a bonjour printer, sends it off to the printer, but nothing arrives at the printer... I can use the web based printer management utility, which directly connects to the using the IP address, and can send stuff that is printed out, but i cannot get it working.
Hope that makes sense - anyone out there able to help?

Hello,
If you wanted to setup a wireless network, you could look at some Wireless Ethernet USB adapters (will work just like the AirPort):
http://www.afterthemac.com/
Understand that the "AirPort" is just Apple's fancy name for Standard WiFi Networking. It's not anything special. Just Apple's implementation.
So, any WiFi Ethernet Adapter is going to be compatible with Apple's Airport network.
If you want to use the standard USB to Ethernet adapters, then you could look to see if you can find a suitable driver that will either enable your adapter (the one you just purchased) to work, or perhaps find an adapter that has a 3rd-party driver and then purchase that one. The following website lists Mac OS drivers that will enable "Windows-Only" adapters to work:
http://www.sustworks.com/site/newsusbethernet.html
The problem there, is that most USB to Ethernet (not wireless) adapters come only with Windows drivers. So, this website provides information and support to make those devices with with Mac OS X.
Otherwise, I have not found a pre-packaged USB to Wired Ethernet device that comes with Mac drivers.
But, the first website lists lots of USB to Wireless Ethernet adapters that come with Mac Drivers.
I hope this helps.

Hey there CountryGirl2!
Let me start asking you for a few things first and probably we could make a solution out of your problem:
1. What's the model# of your router? Try to look underneath it and you'd see it below the Linksys label. ex. WRT54G v6.
2. Do you have any computer which is physically connected to the router and is able to get online?

Connecting my laptop to my Panasonic plasma TV

Hey everybody.
I am trying to connect my laptop to my TV with a HDMI cord.
I've changes my TV to be on the right channel, I've pressed Fn+ F5 but nothing works. I've been told that I need to go into the video card settings in order to press clone / mirror / duplicate, but I cannot find the video card settings. Can anyone guide me through this?
Thanks, Dina

Hi,
With the laptop connected to the Tv with the HDMI cable, hold down the fn key on the notebook and press f4. Use the arrow keys to select 'Projector Only' and hit enter.
Can you see your 'Desktop' on the Tv now?
Regards,
DP-K

Connecting my laptop

I am trying to connect my laptop to my new Insignia tv. I lost the instructions. I connected to two cords that came with it. I just need to know what channel to put my tv on to get the signal to show up on screen. We are running our cable through the dvd player. Does it need to be on or off? I'd appreciate any help ASAP. Thanks.

I'm getting the lcd Dynex 42 inch . It didnt specify what the imput for pc was but i call cus service and guy said he had same tv hooked up to pc using vga cable. Said only newer laptops have hdmi out. Mine seems to have just that 15 pin vga plug, will that make picture look like crap?
I'm not sure what you mean by component cables? Is that what you were refering to using the headphone output with cabke linked to?
i'm confused. So with dynex to use as monitor (and with cable tv) do i have 2 options in connecting to pcs with no hdmi or dvi output plugs ? Are you saying the vga cnnect is not a good option ? theres nt much i can do about what outputs are on existing laptop and pc and i cant afford higher end brands of tvs. ive pretty much decided to get the lcd 42 inch dynex after loking over all ads and reviews. The 650.00 price is max i can come up with.

E2000 won't connect to laptop using Easy Setup Key

Running Win7. When trying to connect Lenovo laptop to E2000 with Easy Setup Key, the progress bar hangs at 25%. However, the E2000 will connect to the laptop with an Ethernet cable. Same problem on both of my Lenovo G555 laptops. Any ideas?

I have heard about this concern with Atheros adapters and where it cannot connect with WPA or WPA2. Check if you set the security to WEP if it will connect. (Usually it does). And better check for updated drivers from this website. http://www.atheros.cz/ (manually update the drivers). The automatic update with windows will most of the time load the same driver version. So it would be best to update the drivers manually.

Trying to connect via tablet's tethering hotspot, firefox says proxy server refused connection

Hi there, today I tried to connect my laptop to my tablet using the lattering as tethering hotspot. Laptop connected itself to tablet, signal was excellent, password OK, no apparent problems.
When I try to load the home page I got this answer: connection refused by proxy server.
What shall I do, check or change to make things work?
When a use my internet key or any other wi-fi I don't get the same problem, it only happened today with the tethering hotspot of the Tablet.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys might be able to give me!
Happy new year,
Ira

Hey Ira,
Does your computer use a proxy server to connect to the internet?
1.You can hold your window key and press r at the same time to open a dialog box. 2.in the dialog box type ncpa.cpl and press enter. 3.Your networks will open 4.right click the network named wifi or the network you connect through and select properties. 5.this will again open a dialog. in this dialog scroll and go to internet protocol version4 6.double click on it. do you see obtain an ip address automatically checked or use the following ip checked.
if obtain ip automatically then your connection doesn't use proxy.
now go to firefox>option>advanced>network>setting and see if your connecion is automatic,no proxy etc. If your computer use proxy you can use system proxy or manually configure proxy.
You have two scenarios.
1. When you use internet key or any other wi-fi. Keep the setting as it is. remember in this case "use system proxy settings"
2. Now when you use tethering from your table, you will have to make only a tiny change. Go to firefox setting, dont make any change to windows setting and click on no proxy or automatically detect proxy (1 of the first two). One of them should work for you Either no proxy or automatically detect proxy
hope it helps. :-)

Trying to connect a MacBook and a Windows Laptop through WRT54G - no success

I have a MacBook and a Windows XP Laptop and try to connect both through the WRT54G Wireless router which is connected to my DSL modem. The router serves as DHCP and allows 5 connections, using WPA as security.
I can be online with my Windows Laptop no problem, but when I try to connect with the MacBook it connects for a few minutes and then both get kicked off. The Laptop continues to show that it is connected to the wireless network, but I can't go to the internet anymore. The WLAN LED on the router stops being lit. Only way for reconnection is restarting the Router (unplug/replug).
When I go online with the MacBook ONLY through wireless or by cable to the router it gets connected, but stays online for 1-2 minutes only as well, then drops off.
The only way now for the MacBook to stay permanently online is to wire it to the DSL modem, but then I can not get online with the Windows Laptop.
I have browsed a number of online forums and tried the tips (different channel, I switched from WEP to WPA etc) but nothing has helped so far.
please help!
thanks, Michael

I resolved the problem !!! Apparently the MAC's had some software/firmware updates that needed to be installed. I installed the updates and am able to go on the internet wireless along with the PC's. I have not lost any connection since I downloaded and installed the updates. These updates included Airport Extreme 2007's which I think may have been the problem.
