Unable to allow Family Laptop access to Web through my Router

I have a desktop and laptop wirelessly linked in a LAN using a DSL modem and a Linksys WRT54GS router.
This is working OK.
I now want to allow my grandson access to the WEB using his laptop when he visits me.
I have XP Pro installed on both my LAN machines whereas the grandson's laptop has Vista.
However when he enters my router's password on his laptop he is unable to connect to the WEB through my router.
I notice than in the WIRELESS SECURITY section of my router I have the firewall set to "BLOCK WAN REQUESTS".
Could this be the reason for this failure to connect ?
I am reluctant to change any settings needlessly.

Evidently the " BLOCK WAN REQUESTS " is not the reason why your grandson's vista laptop , because other wireless computer were able to get online.
make sure that you have the right network key
- click on the tab wireless
- click on wireless security ( underneath security )
- what is our sec. mode?
► if wpa personal / wp2personal / wpa radius you most like could check ahead if the password is right ( the password is in: passphrase, wpa shared key, etc.. )
► if wep , what is your encryption? your tx key or default transmit key? if 1 the basically what you need is what is written in key 1
- check if wireless mac filter is disabled , if enabled and permit only , make sure that mac address of the wireless lan card of your grandson's laptop is in the list.

My auto-detect proxy keeps resetting to manual which won't allow me to access the web

Frequently when I click to refresh a page or open an new page I get this message:
"The proxy server is refusing connections
Firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connections.
* Check the proxy settings to make sure that they are correct.
* Contact your network administrator to make sure the proxy server is working."
Tools>Options>Advanced>Configure how firefox connects to the internet Settings> will show that once again, the browser changed itself from auto detect to manual. I change it back to auto-detect and hit save, sometimes it works right away, sometimes I have to do it 3-4x in a row in order for the change to "stick"

Unable to use one touch access with vista through ...

Hi
I have an n70 and N95.
I have installed the latest version of pc suite.
When i click on one touch access i click connect and it instantly disconnects.
How do i configure vista to connect to the internet through my phones modems.
Iam a novice.
It all worked fine with xp and still does on my old laptop "inspiron 1150" Iam trying to run it on a 1501 and 1520 to no avail.
Please help
JAmes Stephenson

I'm having the exact same problem. It seems to be the case with bluetooth too. I'm signed up with T-Mobile and figured it must be something to do with them but the one touch access works fine with my windows XP PC. Any tips anyone?

I was deleting some Wild Tangent games, computer went nuts, and now I can't get Firefox. I have to access the web through Internet Explorer (hate it). How do I get Firefox back. I've tried everything.

I had FF 4.0 Beta 12. While deleting some Wild Tangent games, everything went black and I haven't been able to get to Firefox since, (about 7-8 weeks. I click on the desktop icon for FF and I do get the FF screen with the FF icon on top left and the minimize, maximize and exit icons on the top right. However, the screen is just white and I can't open anything up. This is driving me crazy because the only way I can get to the internet is through IE and I hate it. I do get a crash report from FF and I fill it out and send it in with my email but I hear nothing from FF because I don;t think you get the report. I want my FF back and I'm going very frustrated trying everything and nothing works. Please, please help me if you can. Thanks, Cathy

I am unable to get a connection with my ipad through my router but I am able to get in when at my friend's house

I am unable to get a connection with my ipad with my wifi router. Will I need to upgrade my router

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Sony Blu-Ray access to SEN through sky router

Have a new book 7200 Sony blu-Ray that is connected ok to the sky broadband router but won't let me access the Sony entertainment network. Tried resetting etc but still not working. Tried it on another wireless network and fine! help please.

Shouldn't the wiring in the wall act like a hub with the router plugged into one wall jack?
No. cat5 wiring doesn't work that way. Unlike phone wiring where all the wires are connected together, cat5 wiring connects point-to-point between two Ethernet devices. You need a continuous cat5 path from the blu-ray player to the router. The patch panel merely provides a termination point for each cable.
The easiest thing to do to get this working is to take a cat5 patch cord and use it as a jumper from the jack going to the blu-ray player and the jack going to the Actiontec router. That will give you a continuous connection between the two devices.
Longer term, if you want to add devices in other rooms that have a cat5 cable, you will need to add a switch as viafax999 suggested.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_switch
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=30&Tpk=ethernet%20switch&Order=PRICE
You will need to connect the jack going to the Actiontec router as well as the jack going to each room where you want an Ethernet connection to the switch. The number of rooms you want active will determine how many ports you need on the switch.

NTFS Partition Doesn't Allow Programs To Access It [SOLVED]

Hello all,
First of all, I have finally returned to Arch after several years of using Linux Mint. It feels good to be back in a bloatware-free environment, and I'm enjoying my 1 second boot times! Unfortunately, this hiatus has caused me to lose much of my former Linux knowledge base.

The Situation: I have a separate hard drive formatted to NTFS, which I use for my file storage on all of my OSes (I have 4 right now, including Windows 8).
The problem: Despite configuring the mountpoint (/media/aaron/data) to mount under my user, aaron, and the 'all' group, other applications do not have any access to the /media/aaron/data directory. Because of the fact that it is NTFS, and I am multibooting with Win8, I cannot simply chown the directory and subdirectories to my name. Instead, I had to amend the /etc/fstab to mount the directory under my user and group, which is where I believe my problem is.
Background: I have searched for hours on the internet, including the Arch forums to find a solution and the best I have found is a post here (answer #1) which at least allows me to access the directory through the file manager (Dolphin). I first noticed the problem when trying to download a torrent file using ktorrent. Ktorrent spat out the following message:
Cannot create /media/aaron/data/Downloads/wattOS-R8-32bit-mate.iso: Permission denied
Now, I think I have isolated the cause, however I have no idea how to fix it. I believe the cause is that only owner has permission to view and modify content. Group has permission only to view content. Other has no permission whatsoever. I believe that I need to somehow allow all of the users to have read and write privileges. It would be a simple chown, if it weren't for the fact that the FS is NTFS. I need some amendment to my fstab that will achieve this result, but I have a limited understanding of the various fstab options and masks.
My fstab file reads as follows:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
# /dev/sda5
UUID=b1b2ca8c-e7fc-42a2-aabb-a2c3208c2a65 / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 1
# /dev/sdb3
UUID=7381274f-2aea-4960-a45e-4fe2c7afac9f none swap defaults 0 0
# /dev/sdb1 DATA on /media/aaron/data
UUID=B64C82184C81D391 /media/aaron/data ntfs uid=1000,gid=100,dmask=027,fmask=137 0 2
it is /dev/sdb1 that I am configuring, and the options shown above are what allow me to access the directory using my non-privileged account.
I am sure I have probably forgot something, forgive me, it has been quite a long time now! Thank you all in advance, I appreciate anyone who takes the time to give this a wee bit of thought!
Let me know what information you require, and I will see it delivered promptly,
HPG

UPDATE:
I installed the package ntfs-3g to my system, as per the Arch Wiki instructions, and then set the fstab options as follows:
UUID=B64C82184C81D391 /media/aaron/data ntfs-3g uid=aaron,gid=users 0 0
Just setting the uid and the gid alone allows permissions to be granted to all groups, so this is obviously not a solution for a multiuser system. As for a single user setup - it is perfect.
cheers,
HPG

Airport Extreme will not allow me to access settings

I have an Airport Extreme (the new one with 801n) and wanted to add an USB hard drive to it. The system did not recognize the external drive. I tried to access the router settings using the airport software on my MacBook Pro. The software recognizes the router but will not access the settings. I get an error that the settings cannot be accessed. I then did a soft resst with no luck. I finally did a hard reset and I still cannot access the router settings. I tried with an Ethernet cable direct, no luck. I can still access the internet through the router but that is it. The router has the latest firmware 7.1.1 don’t know what to do next.

When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.

Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) is also wired to the LAN, and can access all wired printers through the router. Wireless Macs cannot even find the printers.

Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) and all printers are wired to the LAN, and the G4 can access all printers through the router. Additional wireless Macs (Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion) cannot even find the printers. Yet, if the G4 shares the printers, then ALL computers on the LAN can access them. However, this requires the G4 to remain powered. Is there a workaround that would allow me to shut down the G4 and still use the printers?

Hello BDAqua!
Well, I am halfway there. Following your steps on the Snow Leopard MBP, the newer printer (a Canon MX860 inkjet) appeared automatically under the "default" icon on the ADD printer window. I used the IP icon with the HP Jetdirect-Socket protocol to find and add the older printer, (an HP 4000N). That required running a configuration page from the printer to locate its IP address. I printed to both printers through this laptop with success!
I then followed exactly the same procedure with the Mountain Lion MBP. For both installation attempts, I got an error message window: Unable to verify the printer on your network. "192.168.111" may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Would you still like to create the printer? If I click Continue, it creates the icon and name in the printer list. However when I attempt to print from an app. the next message says, 'Printer is unavailable.'
Why one laptop finds and uses both printers, and the newer laptop does not, just floors me!
Thank you for your ongoing assistance.
Bill

Safari Does Not Allow Access to Web Sites With Wildcard X.509 Certificates

I'm really getting irritated with the Safari browser in OSX Mavericks. One of the more irritating features involves the inability to access web sites that use improperly constructed wildcard X509 certificates. By improperly constructed, I mean that the X.509 certificate does not contain the host name of the system being accessed in the Subject Alternate Name list.
Earlier versions of Safari would, at least, allow me to examine the X.509 certificate and determine whether I wanted to proceed with the connection. The current version of Safari doesn't provide that option. It simply displays a screen stating that it can't establish a secure connection to the web site. If you actually have a need to access the web site, you need to use a web browser like Firefox.
What's really irritating about this is that Safari had improved to the point where it was reliable enough to be used as the default browser.
Is there a Safari.plist setting that will allow me to change the behavior of Safari when it encounters an improperly constructed X.509 certificate and provide me the opportunity to examine the certificate to decide whether to proceed or not?

When I try to access a web site Firefox displays "unable to connect"

I access Firefox and select a web site
Firefox displays unable to connect, the "try again" button does not help
this just started after I did a system restore

Disabling Add-ons worked. Firefox can access the web again. Thank you for your support. AM

Since switching to Firefox 4 I'm unable to access a web page by pressing "Enter" after typing the url in the address bar; I now have to click on the bar; how do I change things so that I can go back to a keyboard shortcut?

I use keyboard shortcuts whenever possible but since updating to Firefox 4 I can no longer access a web page simply by pressing "Enter" after typing the url in the address bar. Can I get back to this useful shortcut somehow and avoid having to fiddle with a mouse?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
