Trying to replace LinkSys

ok...pretty simple setup.
Linksys router connected to a paradyne dsl router. Everything has been working well. We are wanting to replace the LinkSys with an Apple Airport extreme.
I can get everything setup and working with the Airport Extreme and it works for about 10mins, and then stops. I have to reset everything...includiing the modem and I can get it all up again.
I can also put the linksys back online, without the Airport Extreme...and everything works fine. It's only when I pull the linksys, and put the Airport in it's place...that I have issues.
Any suggestions would be great!
thanks!

The trick on the airport extreme is to change the DHCP .. when you change the DHCP it changes the actual IP of the AE..
So go to the setup and open the dhcp, in the network options and you can select by arrow the first two octets and replace the third.
I just posted info on this in another post..

Does this answer your question, as I am a bit unclear otherwise??
I have to say I do not like using double NAT.. it is becoming worse and worse as the amount of material on the internet that requires interactive connection increases.. you block so much by doing this.. double NAT is an issue .. not just ignore the warning.
There is no reason why you need double NAT.. you should have a single flat network. If you need to keep some things isolated from others the correct way to do it is vlan.. but you will need a better router than the old linksys to do it. And possibly a managed switch. Nowadays a managed 24 port gigabit switch is not a bad price at all.

Argh! Trying to Replace Linksys with New Airport Extreme...

Been fighting with this for hours...about ready to take the new Airport Extreme back ...Here's the deal:
I currently have a very wired and wireless 2story home professinally set up with 2 Linksys devices as the primary network and a couple previous generation airport expresses as extenders.   Due to video, audio and other systems the primary router for the network/WAN closet out in the garage needs to remain on the primary Linksys (non wifi) router. I want to replace the Linksys Wifi router (see below) that is puposely set up and has worked for several years as a double NAT config with the new Airport Extreme but i have tried duplicatiing the exact configs from the Linksys router and all the various ways you can use the Airport Express in DHCP/NAT and even in Bridge mode and it still wont work! I've never considered Linksys software easier (and definately more flexible and informative) to use than Apple until this experience! Very frustrating.... I'm being very explicit and using the typical Linksys config profiles below so as to hopefully help you translate this into specific configs i can wrangle into the Airport Extreme to make it work like the
Current Primary Network:
Current WAN Router / + 24 Port Switched LAN Network (for wired ethernet access ports used throughout house) > Linksys BEFSX41 + Linksys 24 port Switch locted in a custom built data /video / audio closet in garage
WAN IP: DHCP
LAN IP: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Current WiFI Network > Linksys WRT160Nv2 (currently conected to the 24port switch via a hardwired ethernet wall port upstairs in my office)
Internet Connection Type: Static IP
WAN IP: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
LAN IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Per config notes from the network engineer who i worked with to build this network when i built the house
"this allows the 192.168.0.x wifi device to successfully route to the 192.168.1.x wired router (and vice versa)"
My goal is to replace the Linksys WRT160Nv2 with the new Airport Extreme (whose range and ability to reach both upsatirs and outside to the beach is MUCH better) and locate it DOWNSTAIRS and connect it in the same way as the Linksys (via an ethernet port in the living room) to the same switch / router in the data closet.
I have tried to set up the new Airport Extreme to replicate this config several different ways both bridged and not bridged (including telling it to ignore the double NAT warning) with the latest.   I am pretty sure non-bridged is the right way to do it but i seem to lack a config parameter to tell the Airport Extreme to replicate the equivalent of the WRT160Nv2 settings despite trating all the submenues and options on the airport extreme set up / Airport Utility App. Do i have to telnet directly into the Airport Extreme config files to do this natively? Help!
PS - no i cannot / will not put the Airport Extreme in to replace the primary Linksys router in the data closet - there is no way it will fit or that its wifi could penetrate the EMI and insulation of all the other electronics in the data closet out in the garage and get a good connection into the house

Trying to replace a blown Ata drive on my G4.

Trying to replace a blown Ata drive on my G4.
Installed new Samsung 80gb/7200/2M/PATA set as master.
No option shows up for "Select destination drive." What's
a newbie to do?

Hi, and welcome to the forums. I see that you're new, and I must suggest that you'll get far better help if you can be as specific as possible.
When you're frustrated, it's quite tempting to be overly brief, but that just invites more questions for specifics.
There are some really great Super-Gurus on this forum who will give you great answers, if you give them the info they need to help you...
You can indeed choose "Open Disk Utility" from the file menu of the Mac Installer. I would format the drive as Mac HFS + (it may have come pre-formatted for Windoze). Then, it will most likely be visible when you attempt to install your System Software.
Good Luck!

Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone through Verizon?

Has anyone else had terrible customer service trying to replace a lost or stolen phone under their warranty plan? How did you get a resolution or replacement phone?

Hello dpetrie,
A lost or stolen phone is definitely not fun! If this is the case then I'm sure that we have an option available for you. May I ask what model device did you lose? As tikibar1 mentioned, do you have insurance on the device? If so then please advise so we can share options with you.
Thank you...

Has anyone tried to replace the HD in time Capsule?

I was wondering if anyone has cracked open their TC and tried to replace their 500GB with a higher capacity drive, like a 750 or 1TB. I would love to hear about your experience.

Hello Mike.. Yes I cracked open my T.C and changed the 500Gb drive it came with and swapped it with the Seagate 7200.11 1TB SATA Hard Disk Drive 32MB Cache.. It was a breeze to do and I didn't find any difficulty at all with the swap now I have a spare 500 Sata drive which I can replace in my computer as that particular hard drive is now 7 years old and needs upgrading anyways.. The only problem I encountered was the rubber part the glue underneath kinda went lumpy in places then when you put the rubber back it was all lumpy underneath and showed through the rubber but I got all that sorted and removed the glue lumps now it is smooth, the rubber mat can be removed multiple times and the glue is still strong enough not to let go now with the added heat it is stuck fast and no problems at all.. If your thinking of doing this then go ahead it isn't any more complicated than replacing the hard drive in your desktop computer.. Oh when you remove the rubber mat you will find 10 small screws as well there is a fan attached to the motherboard but this I removed carefully then I was able to lift the base plate clear until the old and new hard drives were replaced..
Hope this gives you some encouragement to do a retrofit yourself, but to all those crying about warranty issues, don't worry as hard drives and wireless cards are usually bullet proof and are the last things to fail so i'm not particularally worried anyways..

I'm trying to replace a missing font and apparently it's a graphic. It's not letting me replace with another font and click change. I can't export until it's fixed and I need to fix / bypass as soon as possible.

Go find the graphic in question, and open it in its native program. The problem will have to be fixed there.

Clicked buy book. Says two photo boxes need photos but there are photos. Tried replacing with other photos. No luck. Help? in them. I tried to replace with other photos

Finished photo book. Clicked buy book. It said two boxed needed photos although already filled. Tried to replace with other photos no luck. Help!

What iPhoto version and theme are you using? Do you have any full page photos in the book? If so make sure the layout is not this one for a one photo per page with a photo background:
So check the layout for the pages to see if you have one that requires a photo for the page background. The screenshot above is for iPhoto 9.

Hello. Trying to replace broken screen on daughter's laptop. Laptop is an HP DV6T-7000 Quad

Hello. Trying to replace broken screen on daughter's laptop. Laptop is an HP DV6T-7000 Quad (bought in July, has the 3rd gen I-7 proc. and 610 graphics card). OEM screen is an LG LP156WH3(TL)(AC) according to the sticker on the back, which is a 1366 x 768 glossy. Would like to upgrade to the optional 1900 x 1080 full hd matte, which internet research leads me to think is model # LP156WF4(SL)(B3). Can anyone verify the part # and if it is just a screen swap-no new cables required? Thanks! Sid

Frustrated trying to replace the PSU on my Presario s6150uk

Hi,
I'm hoping somebody here can assist me. I've tried contacting HP Ireland Customer Support but they sent down a blind alley i.e. sent me to a chain of parts suppliers, who in turn sent me to another supplier, who in turn sent me to another supplier...
Eventually sent an email to HP Customer Support UK, who forwarded my email to another department, who then forwarded my email to another department, who then forwarded my email to another department, who eventually provided me with links to the original site that sent me to the chain of generic PSU suppliers, who had, (as you know) sent me to another supplier...
At this stage I'm thinking of burning the unit in some sort of ceremonial fire!!!!
The Power Supply Unit in my Compaq Presario s6150uk has stopped working. Details Below.
P/N 5187-1099
S/N 00304471
LITE-ON POWER SUPPLY PS-5251-08HP
MODEL: PS-5251-08HP

I've already tried to replace the part with an Octigen 300w generic PSU which I purchased on Amazon but it did'nt work with it despite the fact that appeared almost identical in specification.
Can anyone here offer advice on where I can obtain a suitable replacement ?
Many thanks for any assistance offered.

Hi,
I don't think that you need some special PSU. It's a desktop so you may use a PSU with the same specs or better for a further hw upgrade etc.. Does the PSU work when you plug it to a socket and turn on?? I mean, is there any sign of power in??

HT201444 4005 will appear in the recovery system hardware cause it? I have tried to replace numerous devices and cables, but still reported 4005.

4005 will appear in the recovery system hardware cause it? I have tried to replace numerous devices and cables, but still reported 4005.

The fix was to completely remove all Apple Software following guides in previous posts.
Then download and re-install latest iTunes 64-bit, making sure to Run As Administrator.
This fixed it. Now the next thing seems to be that as I move from one device to another to close and restart iTunes between each one. Treat it gently. It seems to break easily and a lot.

Problem trying to replace WRT54G with WRT120N

Hi,
OK here is my challenge.
I have had a home network based around a WRT54G V2 running very successfully for a number of years.The 54G has a couple of PCs and a network printer plugged in directly and also links to a Dell notebook which has a G network card built in.
I decided to upgrade to N so as a first step purchased the WRT120N. I replaced the 54G and all the plugged in devices worked fine but I couldn't get the Dell PC to link wirelessly. I have tried a number of tests and the following summarise the overall position:
The Dell notebook will link to the 54G but not the 120N (both set up the same as far as I can see)
Another notebook and a desktop both with built in wireless cards both link to the 120N no problem
I even tried plugging in an old Linksys G USB network adapter to the Dell and it still wouldn't connect to the 120N
I have tried WEP, WPA, WPA2 and even no security still to no avail
I have tried both manual set up and WFi Protected SetUp. With the latter the exchange for password etc proceeds fine but at the very end it comes up with the message "Failed to get the wireless settings" (this from Intel ProSet on the notebook although it also fails using Windows XP to manage the connection)
I've also tried various other things such as disabling firewalls etc (although I don't know why this would impact the 120N and not the 54G).
If the Dell didn't connect with the 54G then I would have thought the problem was with the internal network card but since it does I am getting really stuck.
Anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try please?
Many thanks,
Graham

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I have actually now just solved this problem. Although I tried searching the forum I didn't find anything that helped me but then in a round about way found a thread that talked about a particular Intel wireless cad (2200BG) that had problems with the 120N. I had a look on my notebook and sure enough that was the card in the machine.
So, at the end of the day, the answer was to upgrade the 120N router firmware and upgrade the Intel driver software. For good meaure I also upgraded the Intel PROSet software as well.
End result, all now play happily together.
Thanks again for taking teh time to reply.
Cheers,
Graham

Tried to replace RAM but now computer not starting...PowerMac G5 dual 2.0 - are my hard drives safe? What's up?

Hello - I tried to increase the RAM in my old and trusted Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0...2005) tonight and now I'm in trouble. It has only 4 slots for RAM. It came installed with 2X256 and 2X512 ram cards. I bought 2X 1GB of Ram from Crucial.com after sending them the specs of my computer they assured me it was the right RAM. I installed the RAM just how the youtube tutorials instructed.... I replaced the 2 256 cards with the new 1GB cards and closed up the computer......note: I also "dusted" the inside of the mac very carefully and lightly with a barely damp rag.....
I plugged her in and the power button light immediately went on but the computer did not. The button wouldn't respond to being held down either. No sign of a startup or a fan noise. Nothing on the screen, no signal.... Nothing..... So I tried reversing the order of the RAM, I installed the 1GB along with the 512's. Nothing again, just the light turns on when I plug her in. Then I returned the RAM to the original configuration.....again NOTHING...just the light on.
I reset the SMU. (little button underneath the RAM area) I haven't tried to reset the PRAM yet, but I'm pretty sure that will not work either as she is not starting up at all....just the light is on... I didn't get a noticeable shock or static spark during the entire operation either. ****....whats up?
Are my Hard Drives safe in there?
Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance to your advice, T

Ouch! That was not the way to get dust out. Running that damp rag anywhere near an electronic component, even if you were wearing a properly grounded writs strap, was way dangerous.
Did you lay the machine on its left side when you replaced the RAM? That is much safer (though the recommendation only shows up in the service documentation, not the user guide, for some reason).
What I would do at this point is to remove all RAM and try to power the machine. If other stuff is OK, you won't start but you will see the lunar LED flashing in a repetitive pattern above the power switch. If you don't see that happening, then things are exceptionally serious.
