WDTV LIVE will not connect to network share without a password

I followed "Method 1" from mike27oct post entitledHow to resolve "Network shares" access problems with WDTV media players. The WD Live recognizes the computers but continues to require a username and password.

If you followed Method 1, be sure you adjusted the settings in the WIndows settings, too, be sure Windows is still not requiring a password.  Double check all the steps you followed which I provided in the thread.I double checked your instructions and also realized that I had to except the "anonymus" login and the default password.  Now I am able to link to the computer on my network.  It also shows a list of folders but some of the listed folders are really not on my computer. My movie/video m2ts files are in my video folder. I keep getting a message that their are no media files available.

  • WDTV Live will not connect to network

    Hi all, my WDTV Live suddenly stopped connecting to my home network. The unit freezes on the opening screen and nothing else happens. The hard drive hooked up to it fires up and the signal is going through to the tv. I have tried the reset button on the bottom of the unit. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply, Joey. I'm not sure what you mean by this part of your message. I'm a noobie at these forums...please be patient. I have been using the unit to stream Netflix via the wireless network in the house.. Everything has been hooked up the same way for months now, with no problems. Where do I find the factory reset instructions?JoeySmyth wrote:remove your hdd and try a factory reset via the ui ....Setup > System > Device Reset > Reset All Settings Back to Factory Default

  • HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network (time out repeatedly)

    My HP LaserJet CP1520nw won't connet to my wireless router upon installation, no many how many times I've been asked to connect it to the computer via a USB printer cable.   I uninstalled and reinstalled all software, and each time I try to set it up for wireless connectivity by connecting my computer and the printer via a USB printer cable, it gets to 99%  installed on the progress bar and sits there until it times out.  I suspect one of the follow but am open to other ideas from those more knowledgeable:
    1.  Is the printer locked onto some old, initial configuration from a previous wireless network that needs to be purged of addresses, etc. before it can accept the new ones?
    2.  Could my WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion be messing it up?  Are the modern firmware and updates designed to accept these ?  I never have gotten to a screen where it asks for my encyption key or even a WPS pass phrase.  What to do if so?
    3.  Could Church Lady be correct and that it is Satan preventing the installation?  If so, what icons does he use to watch out for and will my Norton anti-virus and malware quarantine him to Hell automatically or does it require manual enforcement?

    Hi @Marvalina1968,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Color LaserJet CP1520nw will not connect to network with Windows 7. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
    First to answer your questions:
    It is possible the printer could be locked to an old configuration and needs to be reset.
    I don't think your WPA WPA2 PSK AES encrytion could be messing it up, unless you got some really strange characters in your password.
    Your Norton antivirus, could possible be causing the installation to fail.
    Please take a look through the following guides:
    'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print.
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
    If the guides do not resolve the issue, please try the following:
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any antivirus programs. Disable antivirus software.
    Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
    Re-install the software. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Hope this solves your problem, and have a good day!

    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    I recently changed my wifi password at home and now my iphone will not connect.  It will not ask me for a password just says will not connect to network.  Advice on how to get iphone to ask network password for wifi?

    First, try tapping on the network in the Wi-Fi settings and then tap "forget this network". Then reselect the network in the main Wi-Fi settings screen and see if will then ask for a password. If not, try resetting the Network Settings in the General -> Reset section and then reconnecting to your W-iFi.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hp officejet pro 8600 premium will not connect to network

    I have a HP printer that will not connect to  my home network unless I disable WPA2
    security. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Have you tried WEP or WPA, I know few printers do not support WPA2. Manual for the 8600 printer does not say anything about WPA2 and we expect it should work with WPA2 but you may want to run a test with WPA only (if your wireless router had this ontion) to confirm this.

  • New iphone 4s will not connect to home wifi.  Says password is incorrect, but it is not.

    Please help new iphone 4s from verizon will not connect to my home wifi.  I was able to connect to my sister's home wifi without any issues tonight, but now at my home and says password is incorrect. The password is correct.  I have an ipod touch gen 2 that connects with no problems. 

    make sure your home wireless network is not "hidden." Settings -> Wi-Fi -> select your home network, it it's hidden, select "other" and manually type in the network name, password, and select security type.

  • Cb867A HP Officejet 4500 will not connect to network

    I have tried over and over to connect my cb867A HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer, and it will not work.  I have changed cables, triple checked everything, uninstalled and re-installed software, and I cannot get this printer to work as a wireless printer. I have a Windows 7 64 bit Compaq laptop.  Any ideas on why this is not working? I am certain I am following the directions HP is giving. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hello-
    If you have a Officejet 4500 G510g , the printer is not wireless. You can use an ehternet cable and do a network install. That way any device that is wireless can use it as long as your on the same network.
    The OJ 4500 G510n is wireless.

  • Iphone 4 running 4.3.5 wifi very unstable/will not connect to network

    Hi all iPhone users. Im new to this so please bear with me. I have an iPhone 4 (had for about 1 month or so). I have recently updated to the new 4.3.5 software. Sice then, my wifi seems to be very very unstable. Im only about 10ft from my router and when I go to connect, I get an error saying 'unable to join network'. I previously had an iphone 3gs and that connected fine further away.
    When my iphone 4 does connect, the connection lasts about 10-15 secs and then it will not load any web pages although it shows its connected. I have tried all methods on previous threads but nothing seems to work. Ive also tried retting my router and changing the wifi channel to make the signal stronger but nothing seems to work.
    Ive seem some threads where people have 'put them in the freezer' but im not willing to do that as the phone is only a month old. Ive tried the network reset, the hard reset, re-installing itunes and trying the update again but it nothing seems to work.
    Any help or advise would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi folks,
    SOLVED
    iPhone 4 wasn't having any joy (and neither was my new 4s).
    Tried turning OFF the security on the router, connecting the iPhones (yep, they connected OK) then turning on the security (WPA2-PSK [AES]) and both iPhones still connected.
    So, it looks like this is the way to solve a non-connecting iPhone 4/4s with a Netgear WiFi router.
    Hope this helps others with the same problem.
    Regards

  • Photosmart printer will not connect to network, unable to set IP Address Manually

    My Photosmart printer has worked fine for a long time but it now refuses to connect to the network.  It is wired into the router and I have changed the lead and this shows no chnage.  The Printer network set-up shows an IP address of 0.0.0.0 in manual mode and if I reset this and press OK it immediately reverts to 0.0.0.0.  I've also tried putting the printer into Automatic IP address but it still fails.  Subnet Mask and Default Gateway also show as 0.0.0.0.  I can reset the Subnet Mask and Gateway to the correct levels but as soon as I go back to set the IP address they revert to 0.0.0.0.  The printer will work from a USB connection but it will then not share correctly.   Is it possible to reboot the onboard program?

    Oh, an ISP-supplied router.  Uggh.
    OK, remove the phone (DSL) cord from the back of the router.  Cycle power on the router, then attach the printer with the phone cord disconnected.
    Now, Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
    - Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
    - Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
    - Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
    - On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
    - Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
    - Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
    - Click 'Apply'.
    Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
    After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

  • My ipad mini is not usable because it constantly asks for iCloud password. It also will not connect to network. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    My son's ipad mini has become not usable because it asks for constantly asks for iCloud password. It says that it is not the correct password and the screen reappears. I know the password is correct because I can login to the website via another PC.
    Part of the issue is that it appears not be connected to the network. It appears to be trying to then gets interuptted by the iCloud password request.
    I tried to restore from iTunes when connected to PC, however, it says it cannot do this because Find My Phone has been activated on the ipad. To deactiviate I need to turn it off on the ipad which required my iCloud password (seems I am in a catch 22).
    Any suggestions on how to proceed?
    Thanks.
