Want to connect PC to network, not internet

I have a WRT54GL and I bought a few weeks ago and it is working just fine, both wireless and wired. What I want to do is to connect a PC to the router in order to share files but not allow it to access the internet. Is there any way to do this?

Hi,
Have a look in the manual, there should be a chapter on this very subject. Look for the "security" tab on the router, it allows you to block specific users.

PS. Sorry, "Access Restrictions" not "security".

I want to connect to a network printer hp cp1518ni with different versions of windows (win7& winxp)

Hi @OHIMATAS,
I see by your post that you are unable to network the printer to the Windows XP computer, but the Windows 7 computer is connected. I can help you with this.
Make sure the Windows XP computer is connected to the correct network name, not a Guest network either.
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Try and access the printer's Embedded Web Server on the Windows XP computer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
Did it load the webpage?
If you can't access the printer's EWS, then check the IP address on the computer to see if the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer's IP. They have to match to be on the same network.
Go to start, type run in the search box, type in cmd, then type ipconfig.
Check the IPV4 address.
Now check the IPV4 address for the printer.
Do the first 3 sets of numbers match?
Try and ping the printer.
In the same window, type ping printers IP address (space between ping and IP address)
What are the results?
Run the add printer wizard through printers and faxes, if you were able to access the printer's EWS.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!

Same To me. I have Asus WL-500W router at home, WPA2-PSK(AES), password similar to this "lIGf@91pY0TnFY!Jh@7LjTUlsL3ZPY", MAC address filtering. My old Nokia E51 works, my Touch Pro Works with it. When i try my one day old Nokia E72 it does not work, the same like others:WLAN: Unable to connect. Wlan Network not Found. E72 works at my work wifi, which has the same settings but without mac filtering. Have no idea what is happening, all is setting correctly. MAC address of E72 is allowed on router. It has the same settings like E51, but E51 works like a charm E72 does not work. What is wrong?
As already suggested, you could try disabling the MAC filtering from the router, just to outrule possibility of a typo while entering E72's MAC address to router settings.
Have you tried swithing a WLAN channel that your router uses?
Log in to your router's web management pages (check router's default IP address and username/password from it's manual) and switch of the "Automatic" channel selection mode. Try few different channels, like 1, 3, 6, 9, 11, if one of the channels happens to work any better. Note that in case you have set your router to use channels 12 or 13 (or in case "Automatic" channel selection mode has decided to select channel 12 or 13) you must have a SIM card inserted and some other than "Offline" profile enabled on your phone since Offline mode (i.e. airplane / flight mode) won't allow your phone to operate on higher channels than 11.
In case you have configured your WLAN network (SSID) to be "hidden", try disabling hidden SSID mode on the router.
Asus WL-500W router seems to be a pre-standard 802.11n device so might be worth looking in to your router's WLAN settings and see if playing around with router's WLAN operating mode and settings improve the situation. First of all ensure that your router is not set to operate in 20/40MHz mode (set it to 20MHz only) assuming that the router is in default 802.11b/g/n mode. You could also try disabling the 802.11n mode completely by selecting a 802.11b/g mode (if available).
You should probably also check that you're running latest (2.0.0.6 ??) firmware version on your Asus WL-500W router since there seems to plenty of complaints regarding WLAN connectivity and stability issues (in general, not specific to Nokia handsets) with this particular router model.

Windows 7 laptop connects to network - not internet

1 week ago there was a power outage in my neighborhood that lasted about 6 hours. Afterwards, I was not able to connect to the internet and the battery backup alarm was beeping. The battery was replaced (the beeping stopped) but I could no longer get online. Verizon determined that there was a problem with the router (internet light was yellow) so they sent out a new actiontec (red ring). After connecting it and running the in-home agent, my PC (which is wired into router) works. My laptop, however, connects to the network but can still not get internet access (it says "unidentified network"). Verizon claims this is an issue with the laptop. My wife brought her work laptop home - same problem. My brother-in-law brought his laptop over- again the same message there.
This, to me, is not an issue with the laptops, but rather with the router - and creates a problem as my wife works from home next week and must use her work laptop - which at this point will not work.
Any suggestions?

Presumably you have switched over to the new SSID. Also these new routers use WPA2 security by default. The passphrase is case sensitive for WPA2. On your previous router it was probably WEP security and a Passkey (in hex) that was not case sensitive.
IF it is really connecting to the network but unidentified network, click on windows 7 network and identify your network as a trusted home network.

Connected to Wireless Network, Not Connected to Internet...

Hi All
I recently had my NVIDIA graphics card replaced as it freaked right out the other day.
I took my MacBook Pro home yesterday and everything was perfect. It connected to my wireless network @ home as normal, and was functional all night.
I have come to work today, and it automatically joined up with the network here. Only problem is, that whilst it connects to the network here, and obtains an IP address as well, as soon as I try to connect to the internet, it says that I am not connected to the internet!!!
Now the finer details:
* I have reset EVERYTHING. Routers, Modems, Computers etc
* All firmware is still the same as it was pre-nvidia fix up.
* Distance is not a problem, I am sitting next to the wireless router.
* An ethernet cable from the router to my computer ALLOWS access to the internet
* My Iphone can connect wirelessly to the same network and browse the internet.
* A windows PC can connect wirelessly to the same network and browse the net.
* I can see that it is connected to the router AND given an IP address.
Please help!!!

I had the same problem. I sent my MBP to get a Logic Board/Nvidia fix and when it came back I could no longer connect to networks using DHCP. I have to manually put in my IP, Subnet, etc. for every network I join.
Randomly about a week in I had some pop-up window show up asking me to allow incoming network connections for something and when i clicked on it I was able to us DHCP again. Just tonight it stopped working and I am once again in the position where i have to manually input IP info, etc.
Super Frustrating

New iMac will connect to Airport but not Internet

I've just bought an Intel iMac 2.94ghz, brought it home and tried to get it onto the internet.
It sees my wireless network and connects just fine, with all bars full. But if I try to view a page in Safari, I get the 'You are not connect to the Inernet' page. I've tried restarting, turning wireless on and off, restarting my router, restarting, reseting and updating the firmware on my Airport Extreme, dumping AppleAirport kexts, disabling IPv6, renewing the DHCP lease (always comes back self-assigned) etc etc but nothing helps.
Additional info:
* my iPhone, MacBookPro and girlfriend's Windows laptop all still connect to the internet fine
* my iMac can see and connect to the other computers on the network, and vice versa
* my iMac cannot connect to my router, unless I manually assign my iMac an IP address
* if I manually assign my iMac an IP address, I can see my router, but am still 'not connected to the internet'
Has anyone got any ideas what could be wrong here, or should I be taking my iMac back to the Apple store?

Bought my iMac in February and worked fine up until about a month ago. I have assigned a manual IP address outside the range of other devices in my network (e.g. 192.168.0.10) and this seems to do the trick (most of the time). The problem I had was the self assigned IP address wasn't in the usual range for my router so while I was connected to Airport and the internet I couldn't view any webpages. Had to do the same thing to my Macbook which I purchased about a month ago.
The strange and very frustrating thing is sometimes it doesn't recognise my preferred network but then when it asks me to join a network, my network appears! When I try to connect and confirm password, connection times out. Whats that all about?
The bottom line is the assigned IP solution doesn't always work but it seems a combination of issues rather than one. None of the other devices on my network (ReadyNas Duo, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii etc) have issue connecting to the router using DHCP but for some reason Airport has trouble dealing with this and assigning a correct IP or can't find the network all together.
Only thing I can think is its some Airport update that has caused these intermittent issues and realy hope they fix it soon.
So no update but just wanted to share my experiences in what seems a very wide scale issue...

Can connect to router but not internet, please help!

I was searching, but couldn't find a thread with my symptoms...please redirect me if needed.
however, I just got a brand new dell that is running vista premium, and I put my belkin wireless card that I was using in my old pc into the new one. found my network, applied to wep key and connected to the router without any problem...
but I can't go online! I never had a problem before, and I am using the same wireless card. my signal is excellent, so what might my problem be? I already tried rebooting the router, but no results. I had the same problem several months ago with my wife's laptop when we first got FIOS...but for the life of me I can't remember how I fixed it.
any suggestions? thank you so much in advance

It sounds like your laptop doesn't have any - or the right - IP configuration. When you went through the network setup, did you tell it to use DHCP?
Some things to try (note, this is for XP but I'm guessing it hasn't change *too* much for vista):
From a command window, try typing:
ipconfig
It should show you your IP address and a default route (something other than zeros, probably a 192.168.x.x address).
If you don't get a valid IP and route, try running: ipconfig /renew
See if you can get to the router by pinging the default gateway address (from the ipconfig command). E.g.:
ping 192.168.0.1
If you still have no luck, try resetting the connection via the Network Connections panel:
Start->Control Panel
Double click Network Connections
Check for DHCP:
   Right click on the wireless connection and select Properties
   Click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) and click Properties
   Make sure that "Obtain IP address automatically" is selected.
   Click OK in both boxes.
Right click on the wireless connection and select Repair
If it still doesn't work, try right clicking on your wireless connection and select Disable, then again and select Enable and then Repair.

PC Laptops connect to Airport but not Internet

I've got a DSL connection coming into my Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS). I have my MacBook connected through Wi-Fi and a XP PC connected through Ethernet. Both can connect fine to internet and AEBS. However, when I try and connect my work laptop (limited ability to mess with settings) to the internet through Wi-Fi, it connects to the AEBS but not to the internet. Its able to get an IP address and has good signal and connection. It used to work, but I had some problems with my DSL modem and since getting that sorted out, the work laptops won't connect.
The network is a non-published network using WPA/WPA2 security broadcasting on channel 9.
Radio Mode: 802.11n(802.11b/g)
MAC Address Access Control: Not Enabled
Configure IPv4: Manually
Distributing a Range of IP Addresses

Since this past weekend, I have spent approx 25% of my time trying to get my Airport Extreme to work. It takes 1-2 hours of retrying manual setup, and although I go through the exact same steps, most of the time it does not work. I was finally successful, but rebooting off the Mac caused the device to quit working. Reconfig (again) another 2 hours, and it works. It will work for perhaps 2 hours max, then stop again, forcing a reboot (back to factory settings using the pin on the back). It has worked pretty much flawlessly until this past weekend, and now I can't use it for more than a couple hours before I have to devote 2-3 hours of total frustration. I am using 7.1.3 update. Any suggestions on how I can keep this working for more than 2 hours before it Goes Amber? PS - after reading this discussion board, I am sorry I bought this device!

G580(2189) Wi-Fi doesn't want to connect to a network after sleep.

Hi.
My G580(2189) don't want to connect to a Wi-Fi network after sleep. It's not just my network at home, but at work and other points of interest as well. It usually after a reboot it works again. And sometimes, al tho rarely after just going back to sleep and waking it up again.
I've tried updating drivers, but always been confused to what hardware is being used in this laptop since it just says "broadcom" or something.
I did update my device to Win 8.1. But I'm pretty sure I had this problem before that tho.
And I tried to contact Lenovo support, since I'm not really a forum-kind-of-guy. But their support site it so confusing for simple person to person contact.
Tanks in advance for any advice.

hi Paverx,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
Can you try enabling Hybrid Sleep and see if that works,
Let me know your findings.

Can connect to skype but not internet, running snow leopard

Moved to new house; was able to connect to internet with firefox first day; after that can get on Skype but not internet. Is it my computer or the wireless router in the house? what should I do?

This is all I could find on the topic, but it doesn't resolve my issue:

Can connect to guest network, not main network.

I have a Time Capsule setup that works great. I have several Macs that run fine on the network. I have one older Power PC that will connect to the Time Capsule's guest network but not the main network despite having the correct password. Every time I try it says "connection failed." Ideas?

This information tells you that the Power Mac is not capable of connecting to a network using WPA2 Personal encryption.
Since we've drifted far away from a potential Time Capsule issue at this point, your best option will be to post in one of the Power Mac forums to see if there might be a way to upgrade the operating system to a level where it would support WPA2 Personal encryption.

My iPhone 4s connects to wifi networks, but internet own't work with password protected networks

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4S. I have been having issues with my wifi. It works for several months, but one day for no reason I have been able to determine, the wifi stopped working. It has been many weeks since it has worked. I have tried several networks (home, work, relative's houses, etc...)
After visiting the Apple Genius Bar, I was told it was probably a software issue the wifi worked fine in the apple store on a unprotected network which showed that the wifi was able to function. It was recommended that I backup and then to a full reset to factory settings.
I did the backup and reset. It has had no effect on my ability to use internet to secured networks.
I also updated the iOS to the most recent update ( 6.0.1) to see if that would help, but it didn't.
To summarize:
-iPhone connects to wifi networks
-Unable to use internet (or other data functions) while connected to a password protected wifi...but able to do so on unprotected networks.
-Already tried resetting network settings.
-Already tried resetting to factory settings.
-Already tried updating iOS.
Thanks

Might be a wifi router issue. Try power cycling the router and/or updating it's firmware. You might also try temporarily removing any security features until you get it sorted out. If still an issue, it might be wifi on the iPhone itself... there have been many reports of wifi problems with iOS6. Have you restored as new, i.e. without your backup? You could also Google for ways to downgrade back to iOS5.

Airport Issues, Connects to BS But Not Internet

Hello, I hope someone can help me out here. I have tried several ways to fix this but still haven't had any luck. My issue is my Powerbook is having issues connecting to the internet through the base station. I can connect to other networks in my building and elsewhere with no issues. I get full strength on our connection and can connect to the base station but I cannot connect to the internet though our base station. Our BS firware is 5.7 my comp os is 10.4.7.
The thing that gets me is my roommate can connect fine with his MacBook Pro. I have tried everything from reseting, hard resetting, changed the settings, reset the PMU, etc.
Any help on this issue would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to Discussions redlight24fps,
I assume you mean BS is referring to Airport Express Base Station? if so you should up date your Airport Express Firmware.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75422
Also make sure you have the latest Airport Software.

[SOLVED]wlan0 connects to wireless network, but internet does not work

I have a Compaq Presario A900 laptop just installed Arch on it, went through the wireless Wiki and also checked this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65467 (similar issue but I don't use any proxy). It has Broadcom card, 4311 Rev 02. I tried both the b43-firmware and broadcom-wl AUR packages and b43 works with my card.
I have tried with the shell to connect but "iwlist wlan0 scan" always returns no results. (Yes, I did try ifconfig eth0 down first as well before bringing wlan0 up). So I have tried wicd and it worked to connect me to my wireless network which uses WPA, and signal shows ~80% strength, however ping google.ca, nothing works as far as connected to the net.
Any output I should show I will if I have forgotten, thanks very much for your help!
