WEP and network diagnostic

Every time I want to log on to my wireless network (which is locked to WEP), I have to use the network diagnostic tool. Nothing else works, I've tried to put $ and x0 in front of the password, I have saved the password diferent ways on the keychain, but the only way I can acces my network is by using the network diagnostic and write the password with 40/128 hex encrypting.
My iPhone can not acces the network at all, my internet provider say it's an Apple problem....
The router is a Allied telesis AT-iMG634W

I had a similar problem after updating to 10.5.3, wifi would disconnect every 20 seconds or so. I know it works fine with Apple's Airport Express router and with a Linksys 54G router, but it never worked with a Linksys WRT300N. Obviously since N is draft one little change by either side and unreliable connection is the result.
I had to roll my macbook back to 10.5.1 with an archive and install then update back to 10.5.2 and WIFI worked again. I hoped they would have fixed this in 10.5.4 patch but they didn't, so I'm still on 10.5.2 until I know for sure it works.
I believe the problem is the handshake between the airport card in your macbook and the 3rd party router. If you had a Apple router it would probably work fine. One way to check is take to the apple store if it works there then you know what the problem is.
I see now there is 10.5.5 update (reason I'm here) checking to see if anyone found it to work for this problem. Good luck.
My macbook is a late 2007 model.

  • ADU 4.0 and network diagnostic feature

    Hello all,
    I am trying to get the network diagnostic function to work. I have been able to create the profile from the Admin utility and import the config. and from the ADU it looks like it starts..but a message pop's up "depending on your networks configuration this maybe normal" and nothing happens. I get the feeling I'm missing a function/feature. My network is an LWAPP, with a WCS. help help

    I'm going to leave the watched drives question to someone more knowledgeable as I have turned that function off.
    I do remember several previous posts about problems with networking and the watched folder. There was also a post (can not find) to look at the read me file where Adobe says something to the effect that network use is not the intended use of Elements; however other users have posted they use the application fine across a network
    b I would like to have the three computers at my house all use ELEMENTS...do I have to re tag all my 3000+ pictures for each computer?
    This question I am comfortable answering.
    If you want to store your pictures in one place and access them with several computers, this is doable.
    Elements writes all its tagging information (as well as other things such as collections) to a MS Access database that has a psa file extension. This database will need to be on the server, along with photos. You will only have to tag the photos once.
    All the computers need to be mapped to same drive letter to find/share this database.
    Only one person at a time can access this catalog.
    All edits are recorded to the same image (unless copies or version sets are made) so if Person 2 changes something Person 1 did earlier, Person 1's edits are gone.

  • Network Diagnostic Service won't run, Symantec turned off, yellow triangles by all network devices

    We have a Lenovo laptop that suddenly cannot connect to the network (Windows 2008 R2 domain). The o/s is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The system tray icon shows that no network connections are available. When I run the troubleshooter, Windows detects that the Network
    Diagnostic Service is not running, and when the troubleshooter attempts to fix it, nothing happens.
    Looking in Device Manager, I see a Realtek LAN card, a Cisco wireless card, Teredo Tunneling adapter, and 5 WAN miniports. All are showing a yellow triangle. Under Unknown Devices, I have one device with a question mark and 5 with yellow triangles. I tried
    uninstalling/reinstalling the network adapters, but it made no difference.
    In addition, I got a message yesterday in the Action Center that Symantec Endpoitn Protection and Windows Firewall were both turned off. This made me suspect malware, but a Malwarebytes scan did not turn up anything. I am now trying a scan in Safe mode.
    I've googled this extensively and have seen articles about Teredo Tunneling issues and Network Diagnostic Service issues, but I am not sure of the root of my problem. I don't want to try registry edit solutions or uninstall anything else if those solutions
    are not my specific issue.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hello Peg2011,
    Have you made any changes before the laptop can’t connect to the network?
    Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
    1. Update the network cards drivers from the manufacturer website
    2. If you still can’t connect to the network, please run the command ipconfig /all to check if the IP information is right and share us the result.
    As this issue occur suddenly, you could try to use the system restore to return your PC's system files and programs to a time when everything was working fine.
    For more information about system restore, please take a look at the following article.

    Hello NotAppleSavy,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • Mixture of WEP and WPA on wireless network

    I have a WRT54G and a cable modem. The router is configured to use WPA. I have many personal wireless devices (print servers, computers, access points, etc.) on my network. All are configured to use WPA. My wife and I just got company-issued laptops from our employer that have software that does not support WPA (we can't change the software). The laptops only support WEP. Is there a way to run a mixture of WEP and WPA on a wireless network? If I have to buy an additional router, that is OK. I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to run both WPA and WEP over the same internet connection.
    Would MAC filtering on my current router be a possible solution?

    It is not possible to use WEP & WPA at a same time in a router .....
    But you can enable the MAC flitering on the router for all wireless devices ..... let me know if it works ....

  • X60s upgrades to XP SP3 and only connects to WEP WiFi Networks

    Hi,
    I have an X60s that upgraded to Windows XP SP3 and now the X60s can only connect to WEP Wifi Networks.
    If I try to connect to an WPA2 or WPA network it keeps trying to optain an IP address and then it stops with
    that red X on top of the NIC icon
    Is there a new driver of hotfix from Lenovo in this case?
    Many thanks

  • Network diagnostic and address

    Having issue with wirless connection to HP 7510. Thru network diagnostic it show a working internet connection  but cannot find " Photosmart 7510, may have typed address incorrectly. All connections show green except server. Where can I change address ? HP network config shows everything correct. Thanks for any input.

    There are  few different things this could be.  First, you'll want to make sure you are installing the printer correctly.  I'm sure you are, but it doesn't hurt to double-check.  I'll include a document below that will layout the full process.  If you're installing it correctly then, there may be something wrong with the printer's connection to the network.  Setting a static IP and power cycling the network should help with that.  I'll link a document that explaing them both in full and gives some other helpful tips.  If it's still not connecting after that, let me know and I'll see what I can find.

  • What do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet

    what do i do if my internet is wep and i need it to be wpa2 because my ipod touch 4th gen connects to the internet but when i click on safari or itunes it says safari cannot open the page because its not connected to the internet. i have contacted apple support and they said to change from wep to wpa2 but when i change it to wpa2 and type in password and connect on my laptop it says the saved setting on this computer for the network do not match the require ments of the network

    My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
    You may need to go back and start over.  Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

  • Open and Network-EAP authentication - difference in security?

    As far as security goes, and assuming Radius authentication wil actually authenticate and allow users access to the wireless network (or not), it there any difference (once again, as far as security goes), between Open Authentication and Network-EAP as described below?
    In any EAP/802.1x-based authentication method, you may question what the differences are between Network-EAP and Open authentication with EAP. These items refer to values in the Authentication Algorithm field in the headers of management and association packets. Most manufacturers of wireless clients set this field at the value 0 (Open authentication), and then signal their desire to do EAP authentication later in the association process. Cisco sets the value differently, from the start of association with the Network EAP flag.

    1. Join process - comparable to connecting a cable in the wired network world. Usually "OPEN".2. Authentication - this verifies the client is who they claim they are because they possess a certificate (EAP-TLS), know the password or a PSK.3. Encryption with TKIP or AES - this is about protecting data as it is transmitted through the air AFTER authentication.
    You are correct.
    What confuses me when attempting to configure the Aironet I'm working with is the difference in terminology with the familiar choices I had in Linksys access points, something like this:- WEP- WPA- WPA-Enterprise- WPA2- WPA2-EnterpriseI thought WPA-Enterprise has to do with Radius and indeed I was able to create a test network in which a Windows XP laptop could connect via a Linksys access point, authenticating with EAP-TLS, with WPA-Enterprise selected on the AP. The Windows 2008 server was both a certificate authority, a radius (NPS) server and a domain controller.With the Aironet, I'm not sure what the equivalent choices should be, because, if you look at the link in my last post, there is a larger selection: WEP 40 bit, WEP 128 bit, TKIP, AES, combinations of what precedes and no reference to WPA or WPA2. I'm guessing TKIP = WPA and AES = WPA2.And while I can select "EAP" in the Express Security Setup tab, I cannot see where I would opt for EAP-TLS rather than PEAP or EAP-TTLS and so forth.I'm going to take a look at your blog now and see if that doesn't enlighten me further.
    You are on track my friend keep the thinking going .... you are very close!
    Some more foundation for you ...
    WPA   -  Is PSK with TKIP
    WPA2 -  Is PSK with AES
    WPA Enterprsie -  EAP- ??? with TKIP
    WAP2 Enterprsie - EAP - ??? with AES
    ??? = Your selected EAP type
    Now, why dont you have to configure EAP type on the AP? Great question, lets break this down.
    1. The AP or WLC for that matter doesnt care what EAP type you use . Why you ask?
    When you configure 802.1X, there are 2 virtual ports . These are virtual and you do nothing to configure these. Once you connect to an AP and EAP starts, the ap BLOCKS ALL TRAFFIC except for EAPOL  traffic. This is the ONLY traffic allowed past the until the AP / WLC receives a RADIUS SUCCESS. Once the AP/WLC sees this radius success it then switches virtually over to the controlled port and allows ALL your traffic to pass.
    2. With that being said, your client is only passing traffic through the ap and wlc. The ap / wlc doesnt care what EAP you are using. Your client is talking directly to the radius server at that point. The AP/WLC at this point is only a pass through, nothing more.
    Does that help ?

  • Officejet Pro 8500 A909a - setup can't find printer, HP Network Diagnostic does

    Windows XP SP3
    HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a CB022A
    DLM1FN1006BR
    I have been fighting with this printer for the past week, put at least 40 hours into trying to fix this alone. I will never buy another HP product for my office again.
    Windows can find the printer on the network. HP Network Diagnostic can find the printer on the network. But the latest version of the installation for the printer, that I downloaded from the website last week, refuses to find the printer on the network. I would do this without the HP software if I could but I need the functionality of hitting the scan button on the printer and it converting those scanned documents to PDF. 
    Here's a list of things I've tried:
    Finding the printer by IP in the setup (doesn't find it)
    Using the HP Scrub tool for this printer at all levels (L1-L4) MULTIPLE times followed by deleting the files in %temp% and then reinstalled the full software package. 
    Disabled all services and startup items.
    Disabled the Windows firewall. Tried with Windows firewall installed as well.
    Restarted the HP services in services.msc
    Updated MSIEXEC.
    Un registered Re-registered the msiexec
    Re-registered ATL.dll
    Ran subinacl to make sure all permissions are set properly.
    What I don't understand is why the HP Network Diagnostic can find it and the install can't. It seems to me that without installing all the HP software, I have no way of using the scan button to scan documents - the scanner just says "Select Computer" followed by "No Scan Options". 
    Can anyone tell me what I've missed in troubleshooting?

    Bump? Anyone have any sort of advice? Or is everyone seeing that I've followed every step in the HP Support site and nobody knows what else to suggest?

  • EPrint and Network Problems Photosmart All-In-One D110 Series

    Hello,
    Any help would be extremely appreciated as I have spent several days trying to figure this out with not much prevail!  My product installation said installed properly.  Blue wireless light is on in front of printer.  Shows onine and ready in printers and devices on control panel.  For quite a few days I could get it to print from PC but not take advantage of wireless features.  I could not set up web services as it gave me an error saying "no connection".  FINALLY!!!... by setting up a manual I.P. in network settings for the printer I was able to set up web services.  I installed iPrint on my Android and that works wonderful.  However, I cannot print from email.  When I open ePrint it still shows offline.  When I open my network map it shows my printer at the bottom of the page and says "The following discovered device can not be placed in the map."  I have run all the diagnostics and all come out successful.  The network diagnostic kept saying my McAfee was blocking the printer.  I've read and read and reread the directions on how to solve this.  Thought I've allowed all HP permissions and ports and still McAfee blocks my printer.  When I disable McAfee network diagnostic completes successful.  However, with McAfee disabled, I still have the other troubles.  And now the diagnostic for network will not even open it shuts down with an error unable to finish program.  I am running Windows 7.  I have the wireless printer installed with no USB.  I have a DSL cable and a Linksys router.  If someone can please help me.  I bought this thing along with new computer 2nd week in Feb. and have not been able to get it working properly and am ready to tell HP to take it away!!  I haven't even been able to enjoy my new computer with all this installing - reinstalling - reading forums - talking with tech support.  THANK YOU!!!!

    Is your windows up to date (do WIndows Update over and over until there are no more) and your McAfee up to date?  This seems like a Windows or HP software thing to me.
    I assume uninstalling and reinstalling does not do the trick?
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • 40 bit WEP and Windows XP

    I'm still using the original AirPort, purchased February 2000, every day. What a great innovation that was...! For the first time, I hooked up a Windows (XP) computer, my neighbor's new Dell notebook. I got it working pretty quickly, although there was a problem with the WEP encryption: my AirPort offers 40 bit WEP encryption, which was unavailable on Windows XP, where you can choose either 128 or 64 bit. A research on the Internet revealed that the 64 bit encryption is also called 40-bit, so we tried that (How comes 64 can also be called 40?? Why not call it 77-bit instead???). Then there was an issue with the password: In Windows XP, it stated that the password had to be 5 characters long, whereas, in the past, I always used a much longer password. But after changing the password, the Dell was hooked up and could access the Internet. Can somebody explain this password issue? If the max. length allowed is really 5 chars, why did my computer never complain? Does the password get truncated to 5 chars without notifying me?
    Thanks for answers

    Here's the link to the thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534141&tstart=30
    and in case this link doesn't work, I copied the answer:
    "One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
    In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
    The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
    One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
    Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

  • WRT54GL Can't set WPA or WEP and connect

    Okay, brand new WRT54GL, setup on the network, can connect, no problem.  If I goto setup the WPA or WEP and enter the corresponding info on the Windows machine, I can't connect to the router.  It leases an IP, and I can see in ipconfig (dhcp client) that I have a IP from the router, the new router IP (I changed it to 250 to verify I'm connecting and not getting something legacy) shows up as my router, but then I can't ping it or connect to the router in any way.  If I disable the WPA or WEP, it works fine.
    Just for the record, I run WEP on everything I touch, home, work, family and friends houses when I set up their wireless, etc.  I do networking day to day, but granted I'm not changing my WEP WPA regularly (often enough to consider myself safe, but not Best Practices regularly) so I know what's up there.  But on this box, it doesn't do.  This is my first foray into the GL (I was thinking of the WRT fw's, but this isn't my box), so I didn't know if there was something different I should look at?
    So, as you can probably guess, this box isn't at my house, it's at my buddies.  I can go over and check on things, but I can't do it immediately.  I'ld like to just see if maybe I overlooked something stupid.  The part that's throwing me off is that I've done this countless times.  Does this sort of thing ever happen to anyone else?  I'm trusting that one of the forum regulars can thump me on the head and I'll see clearly.  He is using it right now in unsecured mode, so no problem there.

    Tried resetting about a dozen times while I was attempting this the first time.  I did that because I knew that would be the first thing I would be asked to do.
    The only error I was getting was that Windows could not authenticate with the device.  (I forget the error, and did not go over there this weekend).  Wouldn't it be nice if Windows told you exactly what the error was?  What has me stymied is that Windows got it's complete DHCP info from the router, but wouldn't let me connect to the router (or anything else) so obviously it did auth at some point.

  • Wireless speed difference with WEP and WPA2?

    I am connecting to my FiOS router wirelessly, since I was new on wireless networking, I did lots of reading they all say WEP encryption is flawed, and WPA2 should be used instead. So I changed the router's default WEP to WPA2 the same day I got FiOS installed. When I check about 10 of my neighbor's wireless networks, 8 of them using WEP, 1 has Security Disabled(D'oh), and I am the only one using WPA2-personal. My question is will I see any connection speed difference between using WEP and WPA2?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    in every day use, your experience will vary.  There is more "going on" with WPA and WPA2 than with WEP, such as message checking and encryption key changes for each data transmission, so these, combined with other possibilities inherent in computer-connected-to-internet use, can slow you down.  Another factor:  There will be more administrative overhead to use WPA or WPA2.  such as if you ever have to reset the router (to default settings), the default is WEP, so you have to go into the router to then chage it (or import a config file you previously saved on your PC).   AND If you need to call verizon tier one tech support, they only support default settings.  Their premium service is called Expert Care.

  • Coexistance WEP and WPA

    I try to configure 2 ssid's for 1131 autonomous AP. One SSID with open authentication and WEP encryption and the other SSID using WPA. The "WEP-SSID" is in guest-mode. So i can see the "WEP-SSID" in the list of available W-Lans on a notebook but WPA protected and not WEP protected. An other issue is the unability to get a IP address from a DHCP server for wireless stations using the "WEP-SSID"-network. Any ideas for these behavior ?

    Make sure the DHCP server is in the same subnet as wireless client. If it is in the different subnet, ensure that reachability is there between these devices. Send me the debug ip dhcp enable command and send me the debug output.
