Windows 7 Won't work with GT704WGB - Connects, but can't access internet or ping router

Upgraded my Verizon DSL.
I replaced an old WireStream DLS router and NetGear wireless access/router with Verizon's GT704WGB.
After I replaced it, Wireless connections from Windows 7 no longer work.
Help. Any ideas?
1. The GT704WGB installation seemed to be easy and successful.
2. I have 3 devices and 4 operating systems
    a. An iPhone - It connects to my wireless network and works fine.
    b. An Acer lap-top running Windows XP service pack 2 - It connects to my wireless network and works find.
    c. An Hp Pavilion lap-top running Ubuntu Linux
         i. It connects to router via cable and works fine.
        ii. It connects to router wirelessly and works fin.
    d. The same Hp Pavilion when booted to Windows 7 doesn't work wirelessly. :-(
         i. It connects via cable to router and works fine
        ii. When I disconnect cable and connect wirelessly IT DOESN'T WORK. :-(
What happens is Windows reports the the wireless adapter has connected to the network, but says it is NOT CONNECTED TO INTERNET. Further I can't ping the router, 192.168.1.1. I have checked the IP4 properties and settings for the adapter. They seem
fine.
1. Adapter has an address on the network.
2. DHCP is enabled.
3. Gateway is provided automatically by DHCP
4. DNS is provided automatically by DHCP.
Pinging router gets no response. Attempting to resolve a name, www.google.com reports unable to resolve name.
All of this works perfectly when directly cabled to router.
Any help with how to troubleshoot this would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solved my own problem. Sorry for the spam. :-)
Windows does not support multiple gateways. I had foregotten I had a 2nd wireless access point/router plugged into the network (Cisco/Linksys E1000). That router had been working fine in combination with old SpeedStream DSL router from Verizon, but apparently it introduced a second gateway address which was in conflict with GT704WGB.
Solution:
1. Unplug Cisco E1000. Reset it to factory settings by pushing red button.
2. Plug Cisco E1000 back into network.
3. Use Cisco CD and setup.exe to "install" E1000.
4. Use Cisco CD and Cisco Connect to reconfigure E1000.
5. Done.
All devices working with all OS's including Windows 7.

WRT54GS V4.0 Laptop Connects But can't access internet unless I am in DMZ mode.

This is recent. I've changed no settings or otherwise done anything to block access, but I've had this problem 2 times now, and I'm beginning to think the router is crapping out on me.
Here's why I know it is not the laptop Wifi that is the problem... When I am connected to the router, I CAN access the router administration pages, but I can't access anything on the internet itself unless the modem is in DMZ mode(I have to put it into DMZ mode and then power cycle the router). If the modem is in DMZ mode, I have no problems.
This only happens with the Wireless connection. On my desktop I have no such problems either way.
I have been using this router since January of this year and have not had any issues until recently when I would occasionally have to reset the laptop's connection to this router, and now this issue.
Note: after it happened the first time, I took my laptop over to the in-laws house and I had no issues for the entire day that I was using the laptop. I come back here to my router and start having issues again.
P.S. I use Ethereal (wireless security monitor) to determine what channels others are using within my range and have set mine to different channels that do not conflict with others, but still no change.

Hi.. What are the DNS serves that are assign to your laptop when you have this issue? Are they public or private? Are you able to ping to any of these DNS server?
You should have public DNS server assign to your laptop. and you should be able to ping to that DNS server to make sure that you have internet connection. If you dont have public dns server, try to ping to 4.2.2.2 (a very common dns server) if you are able to ping to this, then assign this dns to your laptop. you should be online.
Also try to upgrade the firmware on the router.

Ipod touch shows connection with home computer but can't access internet

Just got ipod touch...and can't connect to internet on home computer. Wifi is on and it shows connection to my home computer but I can access the internet.

What iP address is shown on the iPod for network connection? If it starts with 169 you are not connected to the network, the 169 IP is assigned by the iPod and not obtained form the router.
I would try:
- powering off and then back on yur router.
- Reseting network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

IPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet.

iPhone 5s can connect to wireless WIFI router but can not access internet at work. The admin says the router lets my iPhone connect to LAN, but the iPhone does not have server IP to access the internet. I entered the server IP and port number in the HTTP PROXY fields but I still can not access the web. Any ideas?
TIA
Rich

You IT person should be able to sort this out. But, they seems to be too busy or disinterested to do this. Suggest you provide the it person with an iPhone to get interested.
Any could be lots of things.
The best you can do is to get access to the admin setup for networking on a pc? The internet settings are all the same. Only what names the manufactures change from OS to OS. Check and compare parameters.
Phone works to internet at home, I assume?

Have WIFI connection but can't access Safari or App store, nothing. Can anyone help??

I have just bought a iPad 2 WI-FI 16G today. I have a full WI-FI connection but can't access the App store or Safari for any webpages, can anyone help?
Thanks!!!!

Despite what you call, "a full WiFi connection", you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid local network IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power to the router for 30 seconds and then restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

My new iPod won't work with iTunes 6 but...

Is it safe to get iTunes 7 yet?
Because I tried it before but it made the music dodgy.
So I eventually got 6 back, but it won't work with my new iPod.
Help?

I also had problems with iTunes 7 when it first came out, but 7.0.2 is working for me and seems to have fixed a lot of the problems. It's worth a try if you need iTunes 7 for your new iPod.

Connected to wifi but can't access internet

My MacBook connects to the internet through wifi, but ipod, iphone and ipad only connect. Even though the bars are there indicating connection, I can't access the internet on any of the 3 devices. When I reset the router it the devices can access the Internet for a while, but then i lose access again. Hmmm?

We got our son's working yesterday. It didn't dawn on me until many hours later that I kept giving the router password instead of the Hex key for the I-touch password Entry. We had to supply the Hex Key. We use WEP as a security mode and both password and Hex key are in Hexidecimal format. I hope this helps you and saves you many hours of headaches.

New PC laptop - can get on Airport Network but can't access internet

Just got a new HP laptop for real estate reasons (MLS is only available through a PC).
All of my other computers are Macs and my wireless network is on a Airport Basestation.
I can access the network with the PC but can't get on the internet even though I'm on the network.
Anyone have any ideas?

Ok, you have a completely different situation than that of the Originator of this post. In your case, you're using your Mac as a software base station and not a wireless router.
The following would be the setup steps...
To setup for Internet Sharing (Wired to Wireless):
Enable Software Firewall
System Preferences > Sharing > Firewall
- Click Stop to start the software firewall
Setup the Network
Cable Modem > (Ethernet cable) > [Ethernet port] Mac > (wireless) > PC
Setup Port Order
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that "AirPort" and "Built-In Ethernet" are enabled.
- Verify that "Built-In Ethernet" is at the top of the list, followed by "AirPort".
- Click "Apply Now."
Configure the Internet Connection
System Preferences > Network > Show > Built-In Ethernet > TCP/IP
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Enable Internet Sharing
System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
- Share your connection from: Built-in Ethernet
- To computers using: AirPort (checked) (Note: Uncheck all other entries in the list.)
- AirPort Options
-- Network Name: <anything you want>
-- Channel: Automatic
-- Enable encryption (using WEP) (optional)
-- Password: (optional)
-- Confirm Password: (optional)
-- WEP Key Length: (optional)
-- Click OK
- Click Start

Windows won't start with Nano connected

My computer won't startup or restart with the nano connected to the USB port. It just hangs on the startup screen. I have to disconnect the nano and do a hard power off and then power up again then connect the nano after computer is started. Everything works OK then. Is this normal?

I have the same (or similar) problem with an iPod Video 30GB, and have found a solution. It is not a boot order problem. I've just posted the following as feedback to http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93953
There is also another reason why a PC may not start with an iPod connected. It is also related to USB, but is a different problem, and there are different work-arounds available.
Problem: PC will not POST or boot with iPod connected to a USB port
Description:
With an iPod connected to any USB port, the PC will not pass power-on self test (POST), and does not attempt to boot. It remains completely unresponsive to anything except a hard power-off; in particular it is impossible to reach the BIOS configuration screen. This is not a problem with the boot order: the internal disk is first in the boot order, and in any case, POST is not passed and so booting is not attempted.
With the iPod disconnected, the PC boots normally, and if the iPod is plugged in later, the iPod and iTunes function normally.
Solution: either:
1. Disable "USB legacy mouse support" and "USB keyboard and legacy support" in BIOS. Disabling legacy USB mouse support stops a USB mouse being used by BIOS and DOS programs, which is not usually a problem. Disabling "USB keyboard and legacy support" will prevent a USB keyboard from being used at all, which is a potentially serious problem.
2. Boot with the iPod disconnected.
System details: a PC based on the ASUS A7N8X v2.0 motherboard running BIOS version 1008. It has a USB mouse, PS/2-compatible keyboard, and a USB-connected printer and scanner as well as the iPod.
Comments:
This is not necessarily a bug with the iPod, but may be. There are three possibilities:
1. There is a bug with the BIOS implementation of USB keyboard and mouse support
2. There is a bug with the way the iPod responds when the BIOS is looking for USB keyboards and mice.
3. There is a bug in the USB spec itself.

Lightning cable won't work with any computers, but will work with wall chargers

My iPod Touch (5th Gen)'s cable is having some issues. I can not connect to any computers with it (I've tried two different iMacs, my Macbook Pro, and a car USB port that is used to play music through the car speakers). It used to work intermittently for a while, but now it doesn't work in any situation with computers. However, it will work with various power sources that have a USB port on them, but don't transfer data (A USB battery and a wall adaptor). This is using the AmazonBasics Apple Certified Lightning to USB Cable. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FA4Y66U/) I've had this issue with both iOS 8 and iOS 7, even after completely wiping the iPod.

PALM TX- turns on and works with powercord connected but not once disconnected?

Hello all-
I have a PALM TX, which purchased back on 2005. It worked fine but I switched positions and my past job stop supporting. That being said, I can use now and have recently powered it up and loaded calendar, etc. However, it only works when I have the powercord connected. It works great with the connection, no problems. That being said, once disconnected from the power source it will not turn on?
I completed the soft reset multiple times. With connected to the powercord it again works fine. However, it still will not work with out the powercord?
I was reading online in various forums and it appears it could be my power button?
Has any one else had this issue?
Any insight or assistance would be greatly appreciated as now I can use and really want to use it to its full capability.
Thank you!
Joe
This question was solved.
View Solution.

The power switch solder connections to the mother board were a bit weak on the TX line.
It sounds to me like the battery is dead. The TX can also power on by pressing any of the front buttons. Try pressing one of them and see if it comes on.
There are many online venues for PDA batteries and repair. The TX battery can be user servicable, though it's a bit daunting for a novice. If you Google "Palm TX battery replacement", many hits will be produced along with how to videos!

Scanner won't work with one user but will work with another

Tonight I used my scanner and it worked fine. Then a few minutes later I tried to scan another documentand it wouldn't work. I finally logged off, and switched users (to Administrator) and I was able to use thescanner. I don't know why it works for one user but not the other. (This is very inconvenient.) What do I need to do to fix it?

Hi Rustyintegrale,
A couple of questions...
1. Does the unit immediately kernel panic when power from the bus hits the drive?
2. Does it happen in multiple users?
3. If you startup, interrupt the boot process and boot to the startup manager (by holding option on startup) and then plugin the SuperDrive does it kernel panic there as well?
When a peripheral causes a unit to go into this state, there's little that can be done to troubleshoot from a software perspective. Especially if your answer to all three questions above was "yes." You can certainly try resetting the PRAM & SMC, to see if there is any change. But, I think the next best step might be to bring the machine and this optical drive to see a qualified technician.
