Vista with WRT54G

I have been having some big problems with Linksys lately. This is the second replacement router that I have received, and each one gave me a new problem. The problem I am experiencing is that my Vista laptop disconnects all the XP computer each time the vista is connected to either LAN or Wireless. Let's say an XP desktop is using the internet and browsing just fine, and another XP computer on the network is turned on and connected, no interruption. But when a Vista computer signs on to the network, everyone is disconnected, and the only way to fix this is to unplug the router and plug it back in, and it gets kind of old doing this 2-3 times a day. I just wish Linksys would have better technical support, or at least a better product, I can barely understand the representatives to begin with, and they give me advice that leads me to no where. Like I said this is the second replacement, and I doubt I would recommend Linksys to anyone else.

hi,
this  why dont u try upgrading the firmwar on the linksys router it should help you  you and also reduce the MTU of the linksys router to 1350 and this will help u and apart from that on your vista give a static ip of 192.168.1.30 and this should solve your problem ..

  • File Sharing XP & Vista with WRT54G-RG Problem

    I'm hoping a network ninja can help me out with this, because I can't figure it out.
    I have a desktop running XP Home, with a wired connection to the WRT54G-RG Router. 
    I have a notebook running Vista that's wirelessly connected to said router.
    I have a Rogers cable modem hooked up to the router for internet sharing.
    I can surf the net fine from both machines.  I cannot file share.  On XP desktop, the Vista notebook does not show up in the networked computer map.
    On the Vista notebook, I can see the desktop on the network, but if I click on it, I get:
    Windows cannot access //basementpc.  Error code: 0x80070035.  The network path was not found.
    Suspecting my new router, I hooked back up my old router, and everything works fine.  So I hooked up the new router again, and continued to try to figure this out.  I notice one thing strange.
    If I run ipconfig on the desktop, it says that it's IP is 192.168.0.105.  If I view the DHCP table on the router, it says the desktop IP is 192.168.0.106.  I'm pretty sure these numbers should match, and I'm not sure why they don't.  They match when I've got my old router hooked up.
    I can view the shared folders of the desktop from the notebook if I open a browser and type in the IP of the desktop (using the IP number reported from ipconfig, not the IP number from the DHCP table).
    I've done a few things to try to get things working:
    Turned off all firewalls on both machines, including the router firewall.
    I've done an ipconfig /flushdns on both machines
    I've done an ipconfig /release on both machines
    I've reset the router, turned off wireless security (for testing purposes)
    The firmware on the router appears to be the latest v5.00.38. 
    How can I get file sharing to work properly?  Not to mention printer sharing would be nice, but one step at a time!
    Thanks,
    Joe.

  • Problems using vista with boot camp

    Hello,
    I am currently running vista with boot camp and I have been experiencing a few issues. First on the windows partition it claims that no sound driver is installed-is there an easy fix to this? Also I have been trying to plug in my WD My Book USB external hard drive but I cannot find it to use...although in the device manager it claims that it is working properly. Thanks guys

    When you first installed Windows did you install the drivers that came on your Leopard Installation disk?
    If not then boot into Windows and get to the Vista Desktop. At this time, insert your Leopard Installation disk in the drive. This should automatically begin installing the Boot Camp 2.0 hardware drivers on your partition. Once completed, you will be asked to reboot into Windows and then you should be all set.

  • Using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital editions on one account?

    using windows vista with two users and I can only open books with adobe digital edition

    You must authorize the second computer with the same Adobe ID.
    There are sometimes issues with this registration: if you have them ....
    Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.

  • Boot Camp, VIsta with SP1 x64 clean installed. Please help!

    I clean-installed Vista Ultimate 64bit with SP1 (SP1 comes with Vista, not a separate download) on the latest macbook. As expected Boot Camp Application doesn't work (it doesn't even install).
    1.I want to use the function keys (F1, F2, etc) for brightness and volume, which installation program should I run from the Leopard disk? I don't think I can find this "driver" online.
    2.How can I get bluetooth on my macbook working? Which installation program should I run from the Leopard disk?
    3.iSight camera. Is there a driver for iSight camera in 64bit Vista?
    I see there's a "x64" folder in Leopard disk, under folder "drivers". Should I install everything in this folder? I haven't tried yet.
    Thanks for help!

    Hi Bjorne,
    how did you manage to do a clean-install of Windows Vista with SP1 from a slipstreamed media? If I start my Macbook with the Vista SP1 DVD while holding down the "C" key, I will only see the following message:
    1.
    2.
    Select CD-ROM Boot Type:
    I can't go on any further, because hitting any key won't work.
    The problem seems to the EFI bootloader on the Vista SP1 DVD which is compiled for 64-bit EFI environments (U-EFI 2.0)! The EFI environment used in Apple computers is based on version 1.10 and runs in 32-bit mode. I've found this information on the rEFIt homepage http://refit.sourceforge.net/info/vista.html and I've also found the homepage http://www.jowie.com/post/2008/02/Select-CD-ROM-Boot-Type--prompt-while-trying-t o-boot-from-Vista-x64-DVD-burnt-from-iso-file.aspx from Jowie who has the same problems. He has found out how to make the Vista SP1 DVD booting on an Apple computer by modifying the DVD image which seems to kill the EFI bootloader...
    How did you manage to boot from an unmodified Vista SP1 DVD image?

  • 3 or 4 jack cable for Vista with X-Fi Elite

    Hello,
    I would really appreciate your help with this if you could spare a moment. Before I start, let me just add two things, that I'm visually impaired, and also no electrician or engineer.
    I have a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro that I've installed in my new computer running Windows Vista Ultimate. I've connected my Gigaworks S750 7. Speakers to the card, and double-checked all connections.
    The only thing I've done on the computer side is to install the latest driver and console launcher from the Creative website, and change the speakers from the 2. that is set in the driver when it's first installed to the 7. which I actually have.
    My issue is that I have NO sound from ANY of the speakers, only the subwoofer.
    I've seen an article in the Knowledge Base somewhere that mentions changes between Windows XP and Vista with regard to audio. I'm almost certain that I saw for one of those changes that a different cable was needed to connect to the sound card, namely one with 4 jacks rather than the 3 that are on the cable that came with my speakers.
    Is this correct, that the extra grey jack is needed for Vista, or is my problem with something else?
    Anyone able to offer any suggestions - I'd be most grateful.
    Thanks.
    Hussein.

    I also got the X-fi elite pro, cost me a lot of money. You'd think there will be some good support with that. In XP everything works great but i'd really like to make the step to Vista.
    I really don't get how there current top model sound card isn't fully supported by the more and more populair Windows Vista, that's just stupid. Never had any problems with Creative before this, but the last few days have really been an eye-opener. If they don't release some proper drivers soon (or at least say they are working on them) i'll be done with Creative too.

  • EBS R12 on Windows Vista with 32 bit

    Hi,
    Does anybody have installed EBS R12 (32 bit) on Windows Vista with 32 bit successfully?
    I am aware that with Windows Vista 64 bits EBS R12 for Windows does not work.
    Thanks,

    Hi Hussien,
    Thanks for your reply. I will not buy any type of Windows Vista for this purpose. I will buy a desktop PC with Windows XP Professional (32-bit) and with 500 GB. The Oracle Installation Guide recommends about 233 GB (dosk space) for a fresh install with a Vision Demo database. Do you think 500GB is more than enough for the initial install? Does it matter which processor I buy (AMD or Intel)? Do have any recommendation as to what processor should I buy (E series or Q series for Intel processor)?
    Thanks again in advance.

  • No 5.1 sound while watching movies in Vista with X-Fi XtremeGam

    Hi all, I have just bought a new PC running Windows Vista, with the PC was a set of Creative T600 speakers and a Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer card.
    I am aware of the problems associated with X-fi cards and games (I have Alchemy installed and all works fine), but when I watch any movies on the PC I lose sound from the rear speakers. I have tried setting the card to Entertainment Mode and setting up 5. speakers but even here when I run the test I get no sound from the rear speakers.
    So my question would be is there drivers to solve this problem, but still retain EAX gaming sounds etc. or am I reduced to watching 5. movies with only the front speakers working?

    actually this issue has been discussed on the forum already
    the "gamer" version does not include the hardware decoder, you have to use powerdvd to do that
