Wireless-G Router and Invalid IP Address Problem

Hello! I have just installed a Belkin card into my son’s computer (WinXP) and then installed a Linksys Wireless-G router to our main computer (also XP). The main computer accesses the internet fine via the router, and my son’s computer is showing that the router and Belkin card are working, but I’m getting an “invalid IP” message when I try to figure out why it won’t connect.
Here is some basic info that I thought might help. I spent most of yesterday culling the Linksys site for suggestions, none of which have worked. So if more info is needed, I’m sure I have it handy!
The icon try shows the two-computers icon and says, “Connected to: linksys-SES-64264. Signal: Very Good.”
The tower icon says, “Belkin. SSID. Speed: 54.0 mbps. Signal: Very Low. Status: Associated. Address: 0.0.0.0”
When I go into ipconfig/all, I see:
Host……son’s name
Primary Dns Suffix…..
Node….Hybrid
IP Routing Enabled…..No
WINS Proxy Enabled…..No
Desc…..Belkin 802.11g Network Adapter
Physical Address…..00-11-50-60-B0-BA
Dhcp Enabled…..Yes
Auto Configure……Yes
IP……0.0.0.0
Default Gateway…..
DHCP…..255.255.255.255
Can anyone offer some assistance, please? I’m at a total loss at this point. I’ve run the wizards a zillion times, etc., and can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong!

It seems you're connected to a different SSID that's why you're getting a low signal in the first place and you're not getting any IP address at all.
1. Click here to set up your wreless security (Follow the procedure only up to setting up 64-bit WEP)
2. Use the wireless zero configuration of XP(the 2-computer icon on your system tray) to manage your wireless connection. Right-click the Belkin icon and look for an option to exit or disable. If it doesn't work or it doesn't have that opiton, use the Belkin wireless utility instead.
3. Connect to your own SSID and type your network key/password you setup on step 1

Roadrunner/cwmx and Invalid sender address problems

I have spent hours trying to fix problem with Road Runner email when not connected to rr via wifi.
Background: rr doesn't allow smtp outgoing if you aren't connected to their cable. Thus you have to be on wifi from your cable router. So, many folks turn on ATT cwmx.com smtp server to send mail when on 3G or Edge. iPhone email is supposed to try next smtp server if first one fails. But when sending mail many folks are getting "Invalid sender address" error message.
I had thought the error message was coming from cwmx but now think that it is coming from road runner's smtp server and the iPhone is not going on to the next smtp server, i.e. cwmx.com.
Maybe this is the problem/bug. I know there are some other bugs in iPhone mail app. For example I have 4 smtp servers showing in "Other SMTP servers" all with the same address and there is no way to delete the duplicates.

It is usually the ISP being used for the internet connection with the SMTP server restriction.
Most, if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or that isn't provided by the ISP) unless the SMTP server is authenticated.
Most ISPs don't provide/support an authenticated SMTP server, and Time Warner is one of them. If TW provided/supported an authenticated SMTP server for RoadRunner accounts, using RR's SMTP server wouldn't be an issue regardless the internet connection.
I access my MobileMe account and a business POP account with the iPhone's Mail client. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had a problem sending with either account regardless my internet connection - via numerous wi-fi connections with different ISPs or via EDGE with my first generation iPhone, or via 3G or EDGE with my iPhone 3G.
These restrictions are in place as a part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.

I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WU...

I have been using WRT54G wireless broadband router and WUSB54G on my home PC for the last 2 years. It was working fine until recently I encountered serious connection problem.
The WUSB54G cannot connect with WRT54G.
Error message " Cannot assocaite with the access point.
I have checked the followings to try and solve the problem.
1) Refresh site survey the WUSB54G does not show my SSID, but it can show my neighbour'sSSID.
3) When I use my notebook with built-in wireless network adaptor to access wirelss broadband there is no problem at all. I can access my SSID.
4) I have try reseting the WRT54G and changing password but still can not solve the problem.
5) Uninstall and re-install
5) I have installed a new USB adapter (WUSB54GG) thinking that it could be the old WUSB54G is faulty. But still encounter same problem.
I am using Window XP Professional. What could be the problem?
Please provide your professional advice. Thank you.

Hi, Try to update firmware of router. You can get latest version from www.linksys.com/download, Hope it will help you

What are valid and invalid email address characters

What are valid and invalid email address characters in Exchange 2010, for example can you have Conan.O'[email protected] is there a document that shows the valid and invalid sysmbols?

Hi
The format of email addresses is
local-part@domain where the local-part may be up to 64 characters long and the
domain name may have a
maximum of 253 characters - but the maximum 256 characters length of a forward or reverse path restricts the entire email address to be no more than 254 characters.[1]
The formal definitions are in RFC 5322 (sections 3.2.3
and 3.4.1) and RFC 5321 - with a more readable form given in
the informational RFC 3696[2]
and the associated errata.
Local part
The local-part of the email address may use any of these
ASCII characters
RFC 5322 Section
3.2.3:
Uppercase and lowercase English letters (a–z, A–Z) (ASCII: 65-90, 97-122)
Digits
0 to
9 (ASCII: 48-57)
Characters
!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~ (ASCII: 33, 35-39, 42, 43, 45, 47, 61, 63, 94-96, 123-126)
Character
. (dot, period, full stop) (ASCII: 46) provided that it is not the first or last character, and
provided also that it does not appear two or more times consecutively (e.g. [email protected] is not allowed.).
Special characters are allowed with restrictions. They are:
o
Space and
"(),:;<>@[\] (ASCII: 32, 34, 40, 41, 44, 58, 59, 60, 62, 64, 91-93)
The restrictions for special characters are that they must only be used when contained between quotation marks, and that 3 of them (The
space, backslash \ and
quotation mark " (ASCII: 32, 92, 34)) must also be preceded by a backslash
\ (e.g.
A quoted string may exist as a dot separated entity within the local-part, or it may exist when the outermost quotes are the outermost characters of the local-part
(e.g. abc."defghi"[email protected] or
"abcdefghixyz"@example.com are allowed. Conversely,
abc"defghi"[email protected] is not; neither is
abc\"def\"[email protected]). Quoted strings and characters however, are not commonly used.
RFC 5321 also
warns that "a host that expects to receive mail SHOULD avoid defining mailboxes where the Local-part requires (or uses) the Quoted-string form".
The local-part "postmaster" is treated specially - it is case-insensitive, and should be forwarded to the server's administrator. Technically all other local-parts
are case sensitive, therefore [email protected] and [email protected] specify different mailboxes. However most organizations treat uppercase and lowercase letters as equivalent, and also do not allow use of the technically valid characters
(space, ? and ^). Organizations are free to restrict the forms of their own email addresses as desired, e.g.,
Windows Live Hotmail,
for example, only allows creation of email addresses using alphanumerics, dot (.), underscore (_)
and hyphen (-).[3]
Systems that send mail must be capable of handling outgoing mail for all valid addresses. Contrary to the relevant standards, some defective systems treat certain
legitimate addresses as invalid and fail to handle mail to these addresses. Hotmail, for example, refuses to send mail to any address containing any of the following standards-permissible characters:
!#$%*/?^`{|}~
Domain part
The domain name part of an email address has to conform to strict guidelines: it must match the requirements for a
hostname,
consisting of letters, digits, hyphens and dots. In addition, the domain part may be an
IP address
literal, surrounded by square braces, such as jsmith@[192.168.2.1], although this is rarely seen except
in email spam.
Examples
Valid email addresses
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>[email protected]</tt>
<tt>much."more\ unusual"@example.com</tt>
<tt>very.unusual."@"[email protected]</tt>
<tt>very."(),:;<>[]".VERY."very@\\\ \"very"[email protected]</tt>
Invalid email addresses
<tt>Abc.example.com</tt> (an @ character must separate the local and domain parts)
<tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is last in local part)
<tt>[email protected]</tt> (character dot(.) is double)
<tt>A@b@[email protected]</tt> (only one @ is allowed outside quotation marks)
<tt>a"b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k][email protected]</tt> (none of the special characters in this local part
is allowed outside quotation marks)
<tt>just"not"[email protected]</tt> (quoted strings must be dot separated, or the only element making
up the local-part)
<tt>this is"not\[email protected]</tt> (spaces, quotes, and backslashes may only exist when within
quoted strings and preceded by a slash)
<tt>this\ still\"not\\[email protected]</tt> (even if escaped (preceded by a backslash), spaces, quotes,
and backslashes must still be contained by quotes)

INVALID CHECKSUM: Motorola SBG6580 wireless modem router and software updates (10.7.4)

Tried to install 10.7.4 via software update dropdown on my MacMini over ethernet on my home computer network, failed. Downloaded Combo Client 10.7.4 update from apple.com. Downloaded fine. Failed to mount with invalid checksum error. Tried to download on Win7 Dell laptop on my same home network via Wi-Fi, and copied to MacMini via USB flashdrive. Copied ok, but mounting returned invalid checksum again. Went to work, downloaded Combo Client 10.7.4 onto USB flashdrive, came home, copied it, mounted and installed just fine!
So, kept trying to download Combo Client from apple.com on my home MacMini. Kept failing, invalid checksum. Did this about 20 times during a few days, and actually got two of them to mount without the checksum error. Realized that something in my network was failing, intermittently.
Figured at this point it was either the Motorola SBG6580 modem wireless router or Comcast cable ISP service.
Went to best buy and bought a new Motorola SurfBoard SBG6580. Installed it, provisioned it with Comcast. Took about 20 mins with Comcast pushing over the same new Motorola firmware that was released in MID FEB 2012. I think it is 3.3.1. Tried to download Combo Client and invalid checksum again. Installed a new Motorola SurfBoard SB6121 modem (which has a very different firmware BTW) and it download and mounted the Combo Client 10.7.4 update just fine!
Realized it was the firmware that was causing it, not a broken modem.
Comcast pushes over cable automatically new firmware that is given to them by Motorola. Apparently no did a thorough check large DMG files that require a checksum and it is therefore somehow corrupting them when downloading. Earlier this year the firmware was updated 3.1 to 3.3.1 then Comcast pulled it and downgraded all SBG6580 back to 3.1. Then in mid Feb they reuploaded 3.3.1 firmware. That is the one causing the problems.
You can either wait it out till they push a new one that fixes it, and have all your large DMG files transferred from another internet connection and copy them over, or just get rid of that horrible SBG6580. That is what I did and now using a Motorola SB6121 modem with a Cisco EA2700 wireless routher.
Let me know if any of you are also experiencing this issue and if/when Comcast/Motorola will fix it.

No, nothing custom that I did. Besides turning off the WPS thing as a possible security problem (we dont need it anyway) and setting the wireless passwords/SSID/channel stuff, everything is as it was factory or changed by Comcasts profile.
It's obvious if you replaced the SBG6580 with a two-peice combo and the problem went away, that it seems to be with the SBG6580. Just weird to me becuase a problem like that would almost seem more like a hard disk or web browser problem. TCP/IP has a checksum/retransmission layer or protocol built in, if short or defective packets show up, they would be sent again.
I mean I've seen like cheap 24 port 10/100mb switches running at 100% throughput, to the point they reboot. Anything connected to them stops or slows down but generally get going where they left off, unless the connection got severed.
I'm just saying a bad iso or dmg file, had to had bytes changed or missing, like the web browsers buffer or a bad block write on the disk drive saving it. There was a lot of talk about the SBG6580 on dslreports and comcast discussion groups, would be interesting to see if anyone else mentioned it for that model.

Wireless MAXg Router and Mac OS X Leopard Problems

Hi.
Before I upgraded to Leopard I was able to print through my Wireless MAXg Router. I had set up a connection using "Internet Printing Protocol using HTTP." The instructions from the router manufacturer are:
Select Advanced and select or enter the values shown below:
Device: Internet Printing Protocol using HTTP
Device Name: HP Deskjet 990c (example only, select your printer)
Device URI: http://192.168.2.1:1631/printers/My_Printer
In Leopard, when I try to add the printer through the IP tab, I only can select "Internet Printing Protocol - IPP." When I click on "More printers" and hold the Alt/Option key, I am also not getting the "HTTP" option. I tried adding the printer using the IPP option, but the printer does not connect. Can anyone please help?? How can I add the HTTP option so that I can connect my printer??
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. However, I am still having problems. I added the printer using the Advanced tab and entered the URL of the printer through the HTTP option. However, when I try to print something, it runs the driver, and ends up saying "connected" but nothing prints. The status still says "printing" and nothing happens.
Any ideas??
Thanks!!

100% wireless, yet safari and itunes have a problem...

Hey fellow mac users,
I have the newest generation iMac, and a d-link wireless N router, so you'd think all signs are go, yet sometimes, safari (3.04) decides it doesn't want to open a page, say youtube.com or apple.com for example. Even if i clear the cache, i can't open this page. It just keeps saying safari cant find the server, no matter how i try to get to it.
I open up Network diagnostics, still, everything is perfect, i have strong signal, yet safari decides it just doesnt want to open 1-5 different sites, no matter what page on the site it is.
Also, the iTunes store works totally fine, fast page changes and everything, yet when i try and click on a free tv show or podcast or movie for example, it just says error connecting to store. Yet network diagnostics is fine, ichat is working , along with safari.
what do i do? anyone experienced this?

I had the same problems and also have a d-link. this is what i did to fix it
I have had Safari, Mail and any other program that access the net
work fine for 5 hours ( and very fast ). I can not take credit for this as i read
it in another post. It involves adding DNS Servers to your settings. I went to
www.dnsserverlist.org and it gave my 3 DNS servers that r close to me.
I then added them in my network Preferences - advanced - DNS - +. I
added all three after the one that was allready there. hit ok and apply.
I hope this works for you. good luck.
i did this 2 weeks ago and have not had a problem since
It has been reported in other post that this did not work for everyone
that tried it good luck!

Wireless-G Router and Windows Vista

I recently upgraded from a wireless-B to a wireless-G router. After setup, we configured all of the PC's in the house to the new security network password and all was good. Our home PC's run Windows XP. I then configured our laptop to the router with the new password and settings and all was good with it. THe laptop runs Vista.
THe problem is with the laptop. Everytime we turn on the laptop to use it, we have to change the password from the old password to the new one. It will not save the new WEP password!! It always reverts back to the old password that was configured with the wireless-B router once the computer shuts down! HELP ! ! ! !

yes contact your laptop manufacturer to update the drivers for the buil-in gateway adapter...will definately work then.

WRT54GS Router and NAT 3 PS3 Problems

Ok. I need a lot of help. And yes. I used the search option prior to posting this topic and none of it answered my questions. I did try a few tips I saw firsthand at these topics but it still didn't solve my Nat 3 Problem. Heres my ps3s setup basically. Set the MTU to 1365, in the firewall settings unchecked Block Anonymous Internet Requests, In the Applications and Gaming tab I put my PS3s IP address in the DMZ. Tested my connection on my PS3 and the same NAT 3. I want to **bleep** a brick now because I have been frustrated by this. Googling didn't help. So I am hoping you guys can help me figure this out. FYI: I am changing this setting through the LAN connected from my PC to the router and I have my PS3 wired to the router also. With this NAT 3 problem my downloads are slow as hell and although I haven't tested online gaming yet this will be a huge factor in the lag.

Try forwarding ports TCP: 80, 443, 5223 UDP: 3478, 3479, 3658 on the rotuer setup page ... See if it works ...

Verizon's new FiOS GigE Wireless N Router and High Speed Internet

So I got a deal in the mail to get an upgrade to [50/25] Mbps Internet (I currently have [15/5]...when I was reviewing it on line this message came up...
Verizon will provide up to [50/25] Mbps Internet with a wired connection. If you use your Internet primarily for wireless or WiFi connections, you have the option to upgrade to Verizon's new FiOS GigE Wireless N Router which will maximize your speed delivered through your wireless connection.
Upon completion of your order, you'll be provided with information for purchasing a router at Verizon's online equipment and accessories store.
I am VERY interested in getting super fast internet...my current internet is really good but it wouldnt hurt to bump it up. I have several devices using internet in the home...most of them wireless (including my PS3). I currently use a Verizon Actiontec router.
So here is my question...do I really need to get the above router to take advantage of that [50/25]? Also one other thing...My house is fairly large and I would really like to have two routers...is it possible to use two routers or a setup to have one upstairs and another downstairs?
Thanks in advance for the answers!
-Jest

There are a lot of variables that affect wireless range.
Walls, interference, other networks in the area, etc.
You don't indicate which older Actiontec you have.
Wireless capabilities also vary by Actiontec hardware revision (A,C,D,E,F,G,I).
In general, wireless range for 802.11n is somewhat less than 802.11g, even though the bandwidth is higher.
This is especially true on the 5Ghz band (which the latest Actiontec doesn;t support).
If you only need another 10 feet, you could try moving the router, or replacing the antenna with a high gain antenna.

ITunes 6.0 and invalid billing address

I recently upgraded to iTunes 6.0. Now every time I try and purchase music iTunes tells me I have an invalid billing address. This is the same address I have been at for 5 years, and using for iTunes for 3. I tired the email support but just got the generic email back. iPod customer support verifies that my address is fine but they have no involvement with iTunes customer support. Does anyone have a way to contact a live person in iTunes customer support? Anyone else have this issue?

OK, Now I'm downloading. I changed the county to that which my city center is in (Yamhill), despite that my HOUSE is in a different county (Washington).
Thank you for the tips.

Using Airport Extreme base station as wireless Cable router and airtunes.

Can I replace my wired Roadrunner cable modem with a Apple Airport Extreme wireless 56g router removing the wired modem out of the picture?
I just have read and have not come to the complete conclusion that the Airport extreme base station is a standalone wireless router.
I would like this if it is a wireless standalone router as I want to but a pair of wireless airtunes router for music around the house keeping the Airport Extreme in my room where the airtunes routers would not be as I have the computer in my room and I have iTunes right there and would not need the airtunes routers in my computer room.

Can I replace my wired Roadrunner cable modem with a Apple Airport Extreme wireless 56g router removing the wired modem out of the picture?
The AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) does NOT have a built-in DSL/Cable modem. You will still require a Cable modem in order to access your ISP's Internet service.
I just have read and have not come to the complete conclusion that the Airport extreme base station is a standalone wireless router.
The AEBS IS a wireless router, but it is NOT a combination wireless router & cable modem.

Hooked up the AirPort Extreme to a verizon actiontec gt704wg wireless router and am having many problems

I am having countless problems. Would it be smart to buy a basic dsl modem?

Setting the Airport into bridge mode won't affect the speed either way - that's a function of your internet connection and also your wireless signal. Bridge mode avoids the conflicts which arise when two routers are both trying to allocate IP numbers to the connected devices (this might cause speed loss, though more usually it simply prevents connection).
If you are only connecting wirelessly to the Airport you should if possible turn off the wireless on the Verizon as it's simply cluttering the airwaves.

Photoshop CS2 and "Invalid Serial Code" Problem

Well, I recently upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7.
Tonight I tried to install my Adobe Creative Suite CS2 (just the Reader and PS CS2)...
I got the error "The serial code is missing or invalid and Photoshop must exit."
And it did.
So, I removed it and reinstalled it.
Same error.
So, I tried the cleaner (that comes in the extract file) that somebody suggested on here.
I've tried various solutions from the knowledge base.
Still no luck.
I'm grateful I've read that others are having problems with CS3 and CS4....
This will save me money... as I won't be purchasing Adobe products anytime soon.
I won't bother calling tech support. They'll tell me they no longer support CS2 and that they're sorry about that and there's nothing they can do.
Adobe took my money once.
It won't happen again.
Shame on you, Adobe.

Hi Hunt,
Thank you for the warm welcome.
I believe I've read on these forums (and I could be very wrong) that I heard others with more recent incarnations of Photoshop (eg. CS 4) have also had problems with Windows 7. Again, I could be very mistaken.
Trust me... I really do enjoy Photoshop and I WANT it to work... and perhaps I over-reacted... to think that such an "old" version would work on Windows 7. I guess after spending a few hundred dollars on a photo editing software just a few years ago, I had expectations that it would be useful for me for more than three years. (No sarcasm there... I really did hope that. )
It's good to see that Adobe has loyal customers such as yourself that would (by your own admission) "spend the entire day on hold"... I wish I had that type of time. I simply don't.
There are other photo-editing softwares out there and while I'll be disappointed to go to them... being a teacher, I just can't afford another two or three hundred dollars (and that's WITH the educators' discount) to plop down on Photoshop.
I appreciate your taking the time to respond to my post.
Respectfully,
Ted
