Unable to change wireless security settings on WRT54GS v5.1

I'm using a WRT54GS v.5.1 with the latest firmware (v1.50.9).
Set this up this weekend - all was fine until last night when the router stopped broadcasting the signal. I've reset the modem countless times and powered it down and back on again.
The router is now working fine - but I'm unable to change any of the wireless security settings. When I try to change the setting under Wireless > Wireless Security to WEP, it just jumps back to Disable and no changes can me made. Same situation when trying to enable a Wireless MAC Filter?
Any ideas? I don't want to use the router without any security in place!

you can try to upgrade the firmware of your.
try this link :
http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=557&p_created=108421...
make sure to select the correct model and version of your router. if you cant see the model # of your router as one of the downloads, you will need to have the router replace (hope you'll not).
hope this help.

Best Wireless Security Settings-WRT54G Linksys Router

I've been running into problems attempting to set the wireless security settings for my router and then trying to connect to the internet from my iBook. As long as I enable SSID broadcasting I can find my router but the problem starts when I enable the security settings. The iBook will then ask for the password and nothing I've inserted works??? I'm at a loss. I've given up, those sorts of brickwalls can do a number on your head--major headache this weekend..so I will try again tomorrow. I thought the passphrase is your password--the only thing that I haven't tried (after searching the forums here) is putting the $ in front. Does anyone have this particular router that can give me some suggestions (in basic, simple terms please) that can help me get started on a good security setup so that I won't be scared someone in the neighborhood (as I've read previously) is scanning and can log onto my internet connection. Thanks!
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Why in heaven would you want WEP to secure your network when you can have WPA which is more secure and doesn't have this kind of problems???
With the right tools (available free on the net) you can crack almost any WEP protected network in less than a day (I have done this with my friends to prove them how weak WEP is).
So imagine you set your WEP protected network, a neighbor crack it and use it, all of this while you CAN'T use your own network.
You should try WPA, good luck...
BTW: I have the same router, with WPA and SSID broadcast disabled.

When previewing my website in Dreamweaver flash crashed - I need to change the security settings but don't know how to do this

I use Dreamweaver and Adobe Bridge to create slide shows on my website. When 'previewing' the slideshow - in Dreamweaver it opens Firefox - it crashed and the dialogue box opens telling me to change my 'settings' - it doesn't do this if I preview in IE - which I don't understand. I need help in knowing where to go to change the security settings so that this doesn't happen. Incidentally, when I am on the web through Firefox, my website slideshows work perfectly>

You can set the pref dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs to to -1 on the about:config page to disable the timeout.
See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Plugin-container_and_out-of-process_plugins
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How do I password-protect a PDF document that doesn't let me change the security settings?

I want to password-protect my PDF document (so when I email it, it can only be opened/read by intended recipients as it contains confidential/sensitive information) but when I go into document security, I'm unable to change the Security Method (which is currently set to 'No Security' - not by me). There's a 'show details' icon but it's grey so I can't click on it. What can I do to protect this document from being opened by non-intended recipients?

Ah, yes, I'm using Adobe Reader! That makes sense. Thanks so much for your reply. At the moment, I scan Word documents into my computer and they're automatically converted to PDFs. If I had Adobe Acrobat on my computer, and scanned in documents, would they open in Reader automatically or could I open them in Acrobat and therefore add password protection?

ThinkPad X300 Wireless security settings

I just bought this machine and can't get it to load websites. My provider says that the wireless security settings are probably not allowing the connection. I get ethernet connection just fine. It starts to load a site with the wireless but then gets "stuck". I went through the Lenovo service site and cannot find a telephone number for service! Can someone tell me the service number or what I should do with these settings? Thanks

I posted a request in the ideas section and also sent a support request. We'll see what happens.

I'm confused about security settings for WRT54GS!

So I enable G only, rename the network from linksys and save settings, then I open security settings, select WPA2, enter a password and save settings. Now when I return to the wireless setup page do I have to hit the SES Lock icon? When I do that it changes the name of the network. If I don't hit that key my laptop still lists my network as a secure network. If I hit that key then I believe it renames the network differently everytime, thus disabling auto login with the laptop. I've had a wireless network in this house for over five years and have never found anyone but my adult children's laptops, my laptop and the desktop in the clients table, so I'm mostly experimenting here but would like to know how to do it, especially relative to the SES icon. Thank You!

SES - Secure Easy Setup. You never use this until you have read the manual to understand what it does.
SecureEasySetup is a special feature on Linksys devices that it automatically assigns your wireless network a unique wireless network name or SSID and secures your wireless connection with a push of a button. It secures your wireless connection by enabling WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) on your access point.

A few other people have posted that after making the changes they had to reboot their iPhone/iPad in order for it to connect again. Have you tried restarting?

Unable to change IPv4 adapter settings -- COM surrogate fails

Hi folks,
I have an HP notebook I use for network troubleshooting etc. It is about 1 year old and was delivered with 8.0 and subsequently upgraded to 8.1 a few months ago. It does not have the recent 8.1 Update update installed.
When I try to set a static IP address on the Ethernet adapter I get a pop-up after closing the adapter properties dialog saying that the COM surrogate as stopped work. I can close this popup but I can't close the Network Connections page. I get an event
1000 error in Application event log that says netcfgx.dll is faulting.
I know that at one time I could change the adapter settings with no trouble, but I've installed a number of monthly updates since the last time I tried.
Any ideas?

Unable to change site navigation settings

Hi,
I am unable to change navitation settings for a site with the site telling me I do not have permissions.
1) I am a site collection administrator and also an owner of the actual site
2) I was able to do it before, for some reason it stoped working and is giving me the permission error now
3) I can use the error page to send request for permission, however, it comes back to me to approve
4) One colleague, although only owner of one subsite, is having the same issue for this subsite. It used to work for him also.
I found this article here and asked our admin to check the permission. He confirmed that running custom scripts option is and always was disabled.
http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/283383.aspx?ss=ed09ef80-acbb-48fc-b6e8-0da9bc4e27da
The reason why it stopped working is something else though.
Allowing to run custom scripts can probably solve the issue but I would like to fix it without that. If the reason is elsewhere, so must the solution be.. or, I hope.
Would anyone please suggest where to look?
Many thanks
Jana

How do I change my security settings to allow me to load Firefox?

The message that the current operating system gives me when I access the Firefox site via Internet Explorer is "Your current security settings do not allow you to download this software." How do I revise the security settings to make Windows 7 accessible to Mozilla Firefox?

hello, unfortunately when you search for this error message it appears that it might be related to malware that is active on your system and blocks file downloads.
please try to run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].
if you can't download/execute any of those tools, you might want to try to boot windows into safe mode with networking support first and see if it works then: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7

I am unable to change my security questions, and to change or even see my recovery email.

I wanted to boy an app but they asked me for some security questions, I answered them but said I was wrong, so I go to try and change them from my Apple ID, but the changes won't save. So I add a recovery email and click reset security questions to my recovery email and they said they sent it. Now I check my mail (from my recovery email adress) and nothing's there, I give it time and still nothing. So now I don't even know if i typed correctly my recovery email adress because it appears like "send mail to c******@gamil.com" which is totally absurd. And try to change my recovery email adress but it won't let because there is no option for that. So i can't change my security questions because apparently I'm ansswering wrong, but no mail arrives to my recovery email, which i can't change eitrer.....

Change Flash Security Settings? Security Manager Offline?

Hello
I have downloaded firefox and flash player, I have content
which when I run it, flash blocks it wisely and reports that the
page is trying to access other content etc.
I need to allow the accessing to other content but I dont
have internet at home, I understand I need the global manager
security settings panel which of course shows fine on this intenet
conencted machine but at home it just brings up a dead URL because
of no tcp/adsl etc.
I am sure this is a standard question answered millions of
times before Im sorry to bother you guys, Have a great year every
one and good luck Adobe.

The reason you can't access it offline is because adobe flash
player is effectively a trojan. There is absolutely no reason to
not have local, offline access to adjust settings to a local piece
of software, even if it is a plug-in. That goes to the heart of it
right there. The settings are stored locally, so what the hell is
the GSM doing? Well, it's doing what it specifically says it is not
going to do (on the GSM page) and modifies personal data on your
system. These settings may be benign but the method employed is
typical virus behavior. Adobe has never given a reason because they
know they have a front door into everyone's machine that made the
mistake of installing the flash player plug-in. Even microsoft had
a big deal about it because they put it in the WinXP install and
sure enough, flash player had a huge security hole. They knew it
and did nothing. Adobe knew it and didn't care.
You might look for a hack that modifies the settings locally
rather than relying on a known virus-type of access that adobe
clearly wants to your system.
Adobe should be set on fire for this kind of behavior.
btw:
check out this file: (it'll be on your local machine)
\documents and settings\(your username)\application
data\macromedia\flash
player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\
and the file is
settings.sol (it's a binary file)
SWF should never be allowed to modify anything, it's supposed
to play animations, yet adobe's ocx (the plug-in) seems to do just
that without any notification or warning that it's going to do
something to your local system. Again, this is classic virus
behavior; performing some unwanted/unwarranted task(s) without
notice. I've play with the flash maker before, I remember you could
do some things with clickable links. But nowhere do I recall it
giving the ability to modify someones local files, that was just
too much freedom.
adobe needs to either fix this or drop flash player. I know
it's fairly prevalent on the web, but with security risks like
these that adobe doesn't want to fix it's just dynamite. Better
yet, how about make our flash swf files able to access adobes'
internal network? Sounds fair to me.
You'll also probably see a bunch (or just a few or even none)
of directories that start with # in the ...\sys directory. Under
which each one may have another settings.sol file. If you do a
little research on the web you can find a ton of people who've had
security holes opened because of entries in these files. adobe may
want to deny it but you can read about it all over the place. adobe
flash player has even been at issue with rootkits (look them up,
quite nasty) and the problems that go with them. So yeah, adobe
reached a new low the first time I saw that.
It's crap software like this that gets unleashed on the
unsuspecting public and techs like myself have to clean it up.
Furthermore, we have to try and find alternatives to what has
become too well-established. Flash became popular before people
really paid any attention to what adobe was actually doing on their
systems. That's why everytime I have to uncorrupt a system I go
looking for things like the flash player plugin. Some days it's so
bad I'd like to see a plane hit the adobe hq, that'd be some
justice.
If only companies like adobe would release trustworthy
software, yeah, I'm still looking for the pigs with wings.
And yet still more bs: while almost every piece of software
I've ever installed goes into it's own directory or under
..\program files\... look where adobe puts itself. Deep inside
...\Windows\...
Here's where I found mine
C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\
with several different directories under there. Like a damn
tick it burrowed itself into the main windows directory. Which is
also typical of a virus.
