  • WRT160N G wireless Laptop connects to internet and N Laptop does not

    I have a WRT160N router with 1 wired and 2 wireless computers. The wired and G wireless connect to the internet work fine. The new laptop is wireless N and was connecting to the internet but now looks as if I have completely lost the wireless N in the Laptop. My question is can the router fail N and still operate G. Or it the new laptop wireless card failed.

    Well in that case if the desktop is working & laptop is not working then would suggest you to update the drivers for the built-in adapter & check the ip address of the laptop.Also, check if you are able to ping 4.2.2.2 & yahoo.com. If they are able to ping then you will be able to go online wirelessly using the laptop.

  • Wireless laptop connects to the internt but doesn't appear on home network

    I have two snow base stations linked together to extend my home network. The "main" station is wired into a five port hub which connects two other computers, printer, high speed internet connection. For well over one year everything works as it should. last week some win-doze users spent several nights here using our connection. Since then I have several strange issues:
    1. The laptop (TiBook G4) can connect to the internet but does not show up on the local network.
    2. The base stations ( I named them one and two) act in the following manner when I attempt to reach them using the Admin Utility:
    B.S. One: shows up using the hardwire connection on my tower and using the wireless connection on the laptop.
    B.S. Two: only shows up on the wireless connection. It will not appear on the tower.
    I have shut down everything on the network: The Modem, the hub, the base stations, upon restart no changes.
    I hope I explained my problem clearly Help!
    Andrew

    Well upon further poking around I discovered that the main Airport BS had the "distribute IP addresses" box checked which put it in conflict with the router. Now the LAN works as it did before. Only the bridged BS is not appearing in the Admin utilities on both the tower (wired) and the Laptop (wireless)... will try a hard restart...
    Thanks for everyone's patience with my taking up bandwidth here.

  • Error of Photosmart C4580 Wireless printing for windows 7

  • WRT54GS v5.1 auto reboot when wireless device connects

    Hi,
    I'm using the linksys WRT54GS wireless router v5.1
    Current Firmware version v1.50.9, Sep. 14, 2006
    The problem that I have is that everytime a new device connects to the Router wirelessly, the router reboots itself.
    After the reboot, everything seems to be working fine. This becomes quite annoying when it comes to gaming and another family member turns on their laptop and then I get disconnected by the router because they are connecting.
    What I have done upto now is reset the router after doing the FirmWare Version update and the problem still occurs. (The problem was still there even before I had done a FirmWare Update.)
    Is there a way to solve this problem? because I have read about a few other problems just like mine on the forums and they don't seem to have been resolved.
    Or will I have to go back to PCWORLD to see if I can get a refund / replacement?

    I do not see a "keep alive" option. I use the Automatic Configuration - DHCP because I have connected, a CABLE MODEM provided by my cable provider Telewest Blueyonder
    The router just reboots when the wireless laptops connect. The wired desktop (this PC) loses connection as it is rebooting and regains connection after the reboot. Then both PC and Laptop work fine.

  • HP Photosmart C4580 Wireless - cannot get to work

    I just had to get a new computer and new printer.  While I was at it, I established a wireless network.  I am running Windows Vista 64-bit on the new computer (Gateway) and have an HP Photosmart C4580 printer with wireless capabilities.  I cannot get the printer to work consistently.  Everytime I reinstall it, it works fine until either it or the computer goes to sleep or shuts down.  Then it doesn't work anymore.  Reinstall...it works...sleep, it stops working...vicious cycle.
    I have spent HOURS with HP Chat trying to fix this, and even more time trying to find a solution myself.  This is my first HP product and I must say that I'm about at my wit's end with it.  I find it hard to believe that I am the only one on earth with a similar problem, yet I can find no help anywhere.  I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong, but I don't have enough experience to figure it out and cannot seem to find anyone who does.
    I would appreciate any help I can get at this point.  This is my last resort before I give up and go back to Dell!!!
    This question was solved.

    I have a couple of questions and some suggestions:
    Is the IP address of the printer, the computer or both changing over time?
    I recommend setting a DHCP reservation for the computer and the printer.  Log on to your wireless-router, look for LAN setup, address reservation.  You should see a list of clients connected to the wireless-router.  Set reservations for at least the printer and the computer.
    Uninstall the SW (sorry about this) and reinstall.
    With the IP address of the computer and the printer now fixed, the SW shouldn't have any trouble finding the printer when it wakes from sleep (I hope).
    BTW -- unless you're using a very inexpensive surge protector, the printer should be fine connected to it.   I think the advice to plug the printer directly into the wall as a way to fix SW problems is quite interesting.

  • I am trying to connect my lap top to my HP Photosmart C4580. I have lost the software disk .

    I have a Toshiba Satellite pro and a HP printer Photosmart C4580 which i purchased together in Harvey Norman Belfast. on 19/07/09. I have never been able to use the Blue tooth facility. However i now cannot print e-mails from my Lap top  to printer via the connection cable or wirelessly. I have lost the disc that i got with my printer can you help Please. Thank you.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @ronnie123456 
    I understand you no longer have the installation disk for your Photosmart C4580, and that is okay!
    Here is the link where you can download the printer driver and software:
    HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-One Printer Drivers
    Also, if you cannot print your email after installing the printer, try printing from another web browser and that might help!
    If you need any further assistance, include your operating system, the web browser(s) you have tried and any other details that I might need to investigate the problem further for you!
    Have a wonderful day

  • Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the internet by ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well.

    Hi there can anyone help. I am connected to the Internet by Ethernet but my connection keeps timing out and my network diagnostics shows all green and network connection ok but still no Internet connection. the other wireless laptop in my flat works well. Could the other wireless laptops being used in my flat be affecting my connection. what can I do to get connected, keep connected. Thanks for any ideas out there.

    My network connected for a few hours then went back to timing out. I have not changed anything. However there four additional laptop users in my family who do not seem to be having any problems using their wireless connection. Could their film and music downloads be causing the timing out of my connection and if so is there a way I could prioritizes my computer or limit their use?

    Do you mean an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to a Comcast Modem?

  • Laptop won't reconnect to home wireless FiOS connection after using Verizon Wireless connection

    I have a laptop that I've had connected to my home FiOS Internet connection without problems in the past. Now, when I leave the house and use my Verizon wireless stick to connect to the Internet and then return home the laptop no longer connects to the home wireless network. Any ideas? I've already:
    Rebooted the laptop
    Rebooted the router
    Viewed the settings for the laptop connection on the router info page
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    If your internet connection at home is working fine using a wired connection (using an ethernet cable) to the router and you're only having trouble connecting wirelessly, then I would recheck the network settings on your laptop:
    http://www22.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/addwireless/1265...
    The important part of this process is ensuring that you're selecting the right network name (SSID) for your home residential wifi network and entering the corresponding encryption key.
    If you need additional help, please call Verizon's Technical Support department at 1-888- 553-1555.

  • Laptop connects to wireless network via a WRT54G but it can't access internet

    I’ve got a WRT54G cabled to my desktop, I set up a WEP-secured wireless network for my laptop, and the laptop connects to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, but it can’t get Internet access. I know the problem is not with the router because the laptop CAN get internet access when it's cabled to the router.  (So the problem isn’t an IP address problem—which I knew because I had to reconfigure the static IP of the laptop to get it to connect to the network in the first place.)  I turned off the Windows firewall, Symantec virus protection, and Internet Explorer’s pop-up blocker on the laptop. The laptop connects perfectly to the wireless network and receives a strong signal, so why can’t it access the internet??
    Linksys tech support couldn’t figure it out, so I really need your help.  Thank you!

    (because I wanted it to have the same static IP address as the router).
    Just wanted to clarify what you meant in this post. If you entered the router's IP address as the static IP for the laptop, you would get the symptoms that you are describing. Try entering a IP that isn't normally used like 192.168.1.142. (That is assuming that your router IP is the default 192.168.1.1.)
    If that isn't the issue, please tell me what ipconfig is returning on both the laptop and the desktop.

  • Wrt54g laptop wireless modem connected to router but will not access in any browsers.

    I started a friends laptop at my house put in the security key and it connected to my network with excellent strength.  When I opened IE or Safari it said unable to access page not connected to the internet.
    I went into the properties of the wireless modem and checked to see if it matched my wireless laptop. It was slightly different with not all the same options.  I changed something and now I can not get it to connect at all.
    I hooked the friends laptop to my lan line and it works perfectly of course, so I know it has to be in the settings.
    Any answers to the first problem of browsers not connecting,  And anyway you can help me get the friends laptop settings back to where they were?
    Thanks

    Connect a computer to the Router, Open the Setuppage by 192.168.1.1 , password "admin"
    Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode
    should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
    Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID
    broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>
    Now Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security" Change the
    Wireless security mode to "WEP"...and put a 10 digit key in key1 and keep a note of the key and click save settings ...
    Then on your laptop try to connect to the netwok with the key.

  • I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers

    I have a new lion server and 4 lion laptops. The laptops loose connection to the shared documents and printers from the server after roughly 1 hour. By disconnecting and re-connecting wireless the connection is regained to shares and printers. We can still surf the web when it goes down.

    Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
    smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated  permit_mynetworks  check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access  reject_non_fqdn_hostname  reject_invalid_hostname  permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
    The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
    However, that's not the problem.
    I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
    It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions.  You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
    You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
    My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up.  Private/policy I think relates to grey listing.  Maybe gives you a hint.
