Trying to connect B209a to wireless network

Hi, I have a Photosmart Plus B209a-m All in One printer. I successfully connected it to my computer (running Windows XP) via usb cable. I recently added a router (D-Link DI524) to my computer. I used the cd that came with the printer to try to get the printer on the wireless network. This is the error I received:
The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(192.168.15.0 and 192.168.0.0). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name.
I wasn't sure how to fix this problem. The software did see my network name in the list. I looked in the paperwork that came with my printer, and managed to print a "Wireless Network Test Report directly from the printer. This doesn't show any errors. Any suggestions?
Thank You!

152.....? Are you sure it isn't 192? Your initial post said 152....
OK, what happens when you type the printer's IP address into a browser (it should be on the Wireless Test Report)?
Also, download and run this utility. I should help us.

I have a Mac OS X 10.6.7 and Firefox 4. Other browser are easily connecting to the net but Firefox. It keep trying to connect to my wireless network but not doing the job. Please give some advice..

This happens when I first start the computer. Sometimes it connects to the wireless network, and during the day is fine.

Manual then instructs to run runInstaller command. This command however is not being recognized by the system (' No such file or directory' error is thrown) which to my opinion means one of two things: either command is misspelled in the manual or the command file that runs it is missing. I tried it with or without a dot and slash and in small case letters, nothing works.
When I installed similar libraries on Linux I had no problems but all was required there was to place libraries in the proper directory, no command was required.
Maybe same can be done here as well but I am not sure where to place some of the files. I see .h files that should go to /usr/include but see no .so files that on Linux go to /usr/lib. There are some files with .dylib and other .*lib extensions but I'm not sure if they should be copied to /usr/lib or not. And then there are some other files I have no idea what to do with.
Please help!!!No, you can't just drop a few files into a directory and have a working installation (well, I guess technically you could. But technically you could bail all the water out of Lake Superior with a teacup ...)
Sounds like you've covered PATH and current directory issues. What about permissions? What OS account are you using for this installation? (you should have created an account called "oracle" and made it's primary group "dba"). Does that account have execute permissions?

HP Officejet Pro 8600 - Trying to connect to wrong wireless network.

I have cable wireless and due to provider requirements I have had to disable my hub wireless and plus in another router to the hub to provide wireless. The hub has a network name and the router has the same name but shows a "2" after it. When I try and connect my printer to this itonly picks up the Hub and says wireless is disabled which is correct. How can I get it to recognise the router instead?
I hope this makes sense

'invalid password' resonse when trying to connect to a wireless network

I purchased a macbook air a few days ago. I have used pc for years, although during college (1990 - 1996) i used apple almost exclusively. I have a wireless network at home which 3 other pc laptops are connected to. I am however unable to connect my MBA to this network in spite of many attempts. the tech guys in my office tell me to reinstall the mac OS that came with my MBA. Am not sure what to do? has anyone had this experience before? I have my suspicions that the keychain utility is part of the problem.....am clutching at straws here though....HELP!

Walidjam, A few questions, Are you on 10.5.8 or Snow Leopard. Have you ever successfully hooked to this network?
Is the network WEP or WPA2 Personal. Does the encryption type on your MBair definition match that of your wireless router?

I have an 2009 imac running os 10.6.8 and a newer macbook air which I'm trying to connect using a wireless network without success, help?

I have already set up and selected sharing in the system preferences but keep getting the error that the server may not exist?
I'm not sure if I've done this right? I'm completely not computer savvy and would appreciate any and all step by step guidance.

On both computers I selected the file sharing, printer sharing and screen. Then when I go to either finder - go - connect to server i get the following message:

MacBook Pro cannot connect to a wireless network

I am having the following problem with my MacBook Pro trying to connect to a wireless network using a 2WIRE Gateway wireless Router from Bell that worked perfectly until last night. My network preferences pane is saying "AirPort has the self-assigned IP address 169.254.227.XX and will not be able to connect to the Internet." I'm not a techie and I've tried everything I know and cant get my MacBook to connect to the internet using the wireless network in my home. I'm using ethernet connected directly to my router for this! It's killing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

OK. The wireless network was selected. In the Preferences / Network pane I removed Airport by selecting it and hitting the - button and then created a new Airport by hitting + and selecting Airport. I'm getting the same result. Full network signal once the ethernet cable is connected. Greyed out icon with ! once I remove the ethernet cable and no internet. I appreciate your help so far. Any other thoughts? We also have an iPad, iPhobe, iPod, and two iMacs on the same network. All of them are connected no problem. My Macbook also still connects to the network in my workplace no problem. This all just started happenening yesterday and I don't believe I changed or upgraded anything. I just came home and it had stopped working.

My MacBook pro will no longer connect to a wireless network that I've been connecting to automatically for months and I'm not given the opportunity to re-enter the password.

I am trying to connect to a wireless network that I have connect to automatically for over a year. When I try to connect I simply get the following message: "the wifi network xxxx could not be joined". I have moved closer to the router as suggested and I have attempted to run diagnostics without luck, I have rebooted, I have toggled the wifi on and off. I'm at a loss now...
My MacBook Pro system is running OSX 10.9.5, 2.9 GHz Intel Core 17 processor, 8GB 16000MHz DDR3 memory.

I have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

Some updates and clarifications:
1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

My ipod was connecting to my home wi-fi just fine until I uploaded new music from my Itunes on my laptop. Now my ipod and my iphone will not connect to my wireless network. I've tried resetting the network settings etc... Nothing seems to work. Help!

Does the iOS devices connect to other networks?
Does the iOS devices see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Since both iPhone and iPod stopped connecting I suspect a problem with your network.

Upgraded 4s to iOS8 and can't connect to certain wireless networks anymore

I have an iPhone 4s that I updated to iOS 8. Prior to update, I was using iOS 7 (whatever the latest iteration was), and was able to connect to various wireless networks. Following the update, I am no longer able to connect to the wireless network at my place of work. It tries to connect, does so briefly, and give me an authentication request (screenshot attached). Blank username/passwords don't work, neither does the network name/password combo. Choosing cancel will revert the connection back to 3G.
To try and fix the problem, I have "forgotten" the connection, re-started the phone, and neither has worked I have reset my network connections, and it worked immediately after the reset. The phone was inactive for a while, and upon unlocking, it had reverted to 3G. When I tried to re-connect, it gave the same errors already stated.
I no longer have a back-up from before the upgrade, so I can't go back to 7. My wireless connection on my home network is fine. Nothing has changed with the work wireless since it was working with my iOS 7. It uses a WPA-Personal security, and there are several repeaters for the signal throughout the building.
What is going on and how can I fix it?

Set it up as new device, make sure all the apps are updated in the iTunes library and try to use iTunes to restore it again from the latest backup:

Unable to connect to home wireless network with my iPod touch

I've had my iTouch for several months now and I'm still not able to connect to my wireless network at home. I've tried the resets and other suggestions I've found in the discussion groups but nothing has worked.
I have an older Netgear Router MR814v2 and it is unsecured. It is attached to my old desktop, HP Pavilion running Windows ME, which is not able to run the itunes software. My HP laptop is where my iTouch and iTunes software is installed.
The iTouch displays my network with good signal strength, but when I try to connect I get the "unable to join the network "NETGEAR".
Going to my router, it does not recognize my iTouch as an attached device. Why is that and what am I missing?
Thank you for all suggestions and your help.

I tried powering down the router. When it's off the iTouch does not recognize the network and then when it's powered on again, the iTouch recognizes the network. Unlike the public wi-fi spots that my iTouch responds to, where all the info like IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS etc are populated in the settings...my iTouch does not populate these fields at home even though it recognizes the network. I still get the unable to connect to network error. Could it be that my router is antiquated and can not support the iTouch? Like I said earlier, my Router does not recognize the iTouch as being attached to it.

Since downloading iSO 5 i can no longer connect to a wireless network.

since downloading iSO 5 i can no longer connect to a wireless network. I have tried both at home and at other wireless hotspots. it would appear that none of the previous wireless connections work either? i just get the error "unable to connect to "x"
i have tried to "forget" and rejoin but that has not worked either.
what to do pleeeease?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?

Airport no longer connects to OPEN wireless networks

Lots of people seem to think that their airport keeps dropping the connection to OPEN wireless networks because of the 2008-001 airport update. That is probably only true for a Macbook 2,1 (aka Macbook Core 2 Duo).
I had the issue on my Macbook 1,1 (aka Macbook Core Duo). I wiped the system clean. Re-installed OS-X. Applied all updates BUT:
1. Airport 2008-001
2. Security update 2008-002
I also downgraded the Airport firmware to 2007-004 (aka version 1.1.9.3).
Technically speaking this should have resolved the issue but it didn't.
Why do I believe it should have resolved the issue? Because the same approach worked on the Macbook 2,1 and they both have the exact same Airport card.
Now I have no idea how to get it fixed - I think I have tried every possible way. There doesn't seem to be any way to contact Apple coz I don't have a support contract.
But hey, do I need a contract? Apple broke this for me ... they should fix this. I am about to post this as a tech article on engadget and other places because there are SO many people suffering from poor testing on Apple's behalf.
Apple, please respond.
Thanks.

Visited the "genius" bar this afternoon - what a trip!! The guy said this is a Verizon issue, period. I was like you must be kidding, there are SO many people out there who got affected and not everyone uses verizon ... he actually got pretty mad and said you should be using mac hardware (router) and secure network. I even told him my second Macbook is working fine on the same Verizon network. This is their new location in the Northern VA area at Fair Oaks Mall.
I would call that guy anything but a genius, what a waste of time. This was my first and last trip to a "genius" bar.
If anyone comes across any new ideas, please share.
Thanks.

Netctl fails to connect to a wireless network and does not give detail

If I try to connect to a wireless network (WEP, DHCP) using netctl I get "Jon for netctl@wlp2s0\x2dnetworkname.service failed." and two commands (journalctl -xn and systemctl status ...) that should give details about the error.
However, both of them give the following lines:
oct 05 14:44:25 laptop network[422]: Starting network profile 'wlp2s0-networkname'...
oct 05 14:44:30 laptop network[422]: Failed to bring the network up for profile 'wlp2s0-networkname'

oct 05 14:44:30 laptop systemd[1]: Unit netctl@wlp2s0\x2dnetworkname.service entered failed state.
Just one line saying that it was trying to connect and four lines repeating the same thing (connecting failed), but it does not give any detail at all.
The netctl profile is:
Interface=wlp2s0
Connection=wireless
Security=wep
ESSID=networkname
IP=dhcp
Key=\"hex-password

If you look at the netctl.profile man page, it explains some special quoting rules at the end. The literal double-quote (or escaped double-quote) actually just results in a non-quoted string when passed from netctl to the underlying supporting software. This is apparently necessary if the WEP key is in hexadecimal.

MacBook Pro will not connect to Cisco Wireless Network

I have just bought a brand new MacBook Pro, running Leopard (OSX 10.5.1) and I just cannot get it to connect to the Wireless Network at my workplace.
The MBP connects to wireless network and authenticates just fine, but will not obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.
The wireless network consists of 16 Cisco Aironet 1200 Access Points controlled by a Cisco Wireless Network Controller. It does not broadcast its SSID and is WEP 128-bit hex protected.
Changing the network from WEP to WPA is out of the question for me as this is under the control of my customers IT Department and they do not have any problems with their PCs connecting to the network. It appears to be an Apple issue.
For reference, my old Vaio PC, my Nokia N95 and my iPod Touch ALL connect to the same wireless network without any problems whatsoever, first time, every time!
If I boot into Windows XP from my Boot Camp partition, XP can connect wirelessly to the network without any problems, so it is not MacBook hardware related...
It has to be a bug in Mac OSX... doesn't it?!?
Things I have already tried (following suggestions on many forums):
* Switching Airport off/on
* Deleting various network-related Plist files and rebooting
* Manually assigning an IP Address (not really permitted but doesn't work anyway!)
* Disabling all network adaptors except Airport
AP Grapher shows that the MBP is connected to the wireless network, at good strength, and packets are being sent and received, but Internet Access is not possible as no IP Address has been assigned. Instead, my MBP shows a 169.* IP Address (self-assigned). It should be a 10.1.255.* address.
Can anybody please help? Thank you.

i posted this same reply elsewhere because it worked for me for my Buffalo wireless router: try manually setting your IP address instead of relying on DHCP, which sometimes (I don't know why) doesn't work well with Macs. It's a good get around. I am a happy Mac user but nothing is perfect on earth, and when the Mac gives problems, it does give a lot of frustration. Macs are not as easy to troubleshoot as Win because a Mac is built to be user friendly(and it works most of the time), meaning a lot of the background computing stuff is hidden away from users to avoid user accidentally upsetting some settings.
Unfortunately, the highly automated troubleshooting wizards provided by OS X are not perfect so when these software wizards fail to resolve the problem, like my Network Diagnostics, I have to spend more time tinkering around. There's "Terminal" of course but then most of us, especially PC converts to Macs, don't know how to use it.
You should also try updating your MBP, see if there are any new updates being released.
