Wireless Network monitor cause holes in Desktop

On my computer I have dancers that periodically dance on my desktop. It is live action video as opposed to animated cartoons.
When the Wireless Network monitor is running it cuts a hole in the center of the screen rendering any animated object/person transparent right where the square whole is. BAsically its seems to be cutting a whole through what I guess is a DirectX overlay. Its definately the Wireless monitor as this does not happen when it is NOT running. Anyone else run into this and is there a solution? Ifact it cuts a whole into everything for a moment. I just opened Nero and the square hole was visibly retaining image data of the previous window for just a moment. its just that its easily seen when the screen needs to redraw
WinXP Pro SP2(I dont dare use SP3 as that will render some of my fav stuff useless).

Where is the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor icon?

I was trying to follow some instructions and it said to click on the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor icon on the bottom right of my screen. There are a bunch of icons but none of them are this one or any other Linksys icon. I also searched the harddrive and couldn't find anything. Help!!!

Try uninstalling it and reinstall it back again.
If you're using windows XP, plug in the adapter first and just install the drivers. No need to install the WLAN monitor.

Wireless network monitor says I'm not connected to internet, but I am?

Hi,
I have a WRT54G v6 and a WUSB54GC. I can connect to the inter just fine and for the most part the linksys wireless network monitor says I'm connected to the access point and internet. The problem is occasionally it will says that I'm connected to the access point but the internet when I really am and I can browse the web just fine. I get the not connected to internet msg for a few minutes then it just goes back to connected. Any ideas?

Hi...
I think here the issue may be that the utility and the internet connection are not getting synchronised. The operating system on your computer is it win XP? If it is win xp, u can use the windows wireless software to manage to your wireless network. In order to use the windows wireless zero configuration, right click on the linksys icon at the bottom right hand corner of the task bar, select the option that says "use windows wireless ....".
The linksys icon will be grayed and windows will be managing the wireless network. Connect to your wireless network and you should be able to go online.

Linksys Wireless Network monitor overrides Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration

Hello all,
I am currently using the wireless router Verizon sent me and it works fine when using the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration tool. Previously I was using a Linksys wireless router and I have the Linksys Wireless Network monitor installed. About half the time when starting up the computer, the Linksys monitor starts up and I have to manually switch to the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration tool. This is very irritating and I would like to know if there is a way I can remove the Linksys Monitor and still be able to use the Linksys wireless adapter cards installed in the computer.

I think I know.
#1 http://netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_xp.html
#2 Very carefully, look through the list in MSConfig.
#3 Disable the Linksys Wireless Network monitor.
Restart the computer as need be.

Sounds like you are not putting it the correct settings for for the Linksys Monitor. Just use Windows, it works better anyway.

This way i will 3 mobiles connected in the similar manner as above.
I just want to know how i can control my calls from these mobiles??
Please guide me, as in how should i start??

Have you ever experienced any cross browser issues, when you
really build an app for critical app like this?
not really ... the only crazy thing i have seen is how each
browser uses memory..
you will see higher usage from IE than.. firefox...
IE also has an issue with cache.. so you have to reset your
page at every visit...( i cut that short thinking you understand
what i am talking about)
your biggest issue is the engine and processing of data..
thinks like that.. how you put that together will be HUGE..

E-4200 - Wireless Network Monitoring

It used to be that monitoring the family computer through software was fairly easy, but these days my kids use Ipods, laptops, the Wii, or the PS3 to access the internet over our wireless network (using the e-4200).
Has anyone found a good software for monitoring what the heck our kids are doing while their using those devices? I tried Network Spy from Mingsoft, but it's a joke and doesn't work right. BIG waste of money (I'm still working on that refund).
I don't think Network Magic will do everything I want, nor will Home Defender. I want to be able to see what their accessing on the internet, but also have blocking features depending on the age of the child.

Sounds like you need openDNS...

Network Monitor Causing error in Flash Builder 4

I am working with PHP data services on a MAMP server. Everything works fine until I turn on the network monitor. When network monitor is enabled, my first call to the server returns the following error:
Send failed
Channel.Connect.Failed error NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Failed: url: 'http://localhost:8888/Dashboard1/gateway.php'
The url correctly points to the gateway.php file so I am not sure where to start looking for the issue.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,
I also had same issue with my Flash Player.
Make sure u have Debug version of the flash player installed.
If not you can download it from from following link,
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flashplayer_10_ax_debug.exe (for IE)
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/updaters/10/flashplayer_10_plugin_debug.exe (for FIREFOX)
Chrome has it inbuilt.
Just make sure proper browser is selected in preferences of flash builder.

When using mac on a home wireless network it causes all PC's to lose internet access

When my Mac Books accesses the internet on our home wireless network it keeps all PC's from being able to acccess the internet. Is there a setting on my Mac that keeps this from happening?

Your ISP gave you an Address that looks like a random number. That goes only on the Internet-facing side of your Router. mine is something like 108.72.155.38. If you have your own Router, that number is NEVER the Manual IP Address of your Mac.
Your Router has a "strictly local" number to which all Internet-bound traffic is sent. Mine is 192.168.0.1 These are numbers at the bottom of a DHCP grouping., and almost always end in .1 Your Mac should never have this number as its OWN Number, but it may end up being listed as a Router Address. Typical numbers often start with 10. or 172 as well.
Your Mac should have a number similar to, but not identical to the other computers on your local network. Setting it to pick up a number (from your Router) via DHCP says, "just get a number and use it." That is often the best way to proceed.

Access Violation with Wireless Network Monitor

Hi,
Each time I start my PC, I get the following Error message:
Access Violation at address 00426059 in module 'WMP54gsv1_1.exe'. Read of address 00000368.

Uninstall and reinstall the WMP54G.... Or update the drivers while your at it...

WRE54G Network Monitor

I'm trying to trouble shoot some connection issues and want to upgrade my WRE54G Expander's firmware. I've downloaded the firmware file and the setup wizard, but steps provided by the support site say that I need to connect to my range expander via the Linksys Wireless Network Monitor. Unfortunately neither my product CD or the downloadable setup wizard provide this utility. How do I acquire it?
Thanks,

1. Connect your Expander to a computer, click on the Start button >>> Settings >>>Control Panel >>> Network Connections - Right click on the icon for Local area connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the following IP address'- Provide IP Address - 192.168.1.5, Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0. Default Gateway - 192.168.1.240. Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window. Click here for more information about assigning a Static IP Address on a Wired Computer.
2. Now open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.240. Leave the User name blank & in Password use admin in lower case. It should open your Expander set-up.
3. Once you get to the set-up page go to the Help tab. On that page you will find the option to upgrade the Firmware of the Range Expander. When you click on Firmware upgrade, it will open another pop up window. Browse the Firmware file that you have already downloaded from the Linksys website and click on upgrade.
4. After upgrading the Firmware of the range expander, it is recommended that you hould reset the range expander to the factory default settings. Then try to reconfigure the range expander.

Can't create a wireless network without a wireless card on my Mac

Help!
O.k. I tried searching the forums for an answer but the odd nature of my problem, and the immense database of topics made it very difficult to find a similar post.
The general issue/idea:
Run a wireless network using Airport Extreme - Connect desktop mac via ethernet and Roku player via wi-fi. Can't get the desktop mac to connect via ethernet when I restart the network/Airport Extreme.
My Father in law has my old computer; It's a PowerMac G5 (Dual 1.8GHz CPUs) running OS 10.5.8), connected to internet via cable (TimeWarner) modem. It does NOT have an Airport or Airport Extreme card installed. The computer works fine, and I don't believe that I 'need' an Airport Card in order to use the Airport Extreme (it's a brand new/refurbished model) in the manner described below.
I would like to use the Airport Extreme to generate/run a wireless network (Do I need an Airport Card in order to generate/run a wireless network? Doesn't the AE actually do that?), connect the desktop Mac to the network via Ethernet (I shouldn't need an Airport Card to do that, should I?) and connect a 'Roku Player (802.11g capable) to the network via wi-fi.
As far as I know, this should be possible.
Basic steps/as I understand them:
A. Connect ethernet from cable modem to AE.
B. Connect ethernet from AE to desktop Mac.
C. Create the wireless network using desktop Mac and Airport Utility.
D. Restart AE to start the wireless network running.
E. Connect Roku to wireless network over wi-fi.
I have no problems with A & B. Once the AE is connected to the desktop Mac, I'm able to get internet via ethernet as it passes through the AE. I can then create a wireless network (step C.) using the Airport Utility (and setup assistant). The problem starts after I've configured the wireless network.
Once I've configured the wireless network, the Airport Utility software prompts me to restart the AE in order to start the wireless network.
As soon as I restart the AE, my desktop Mac tries to connect to the 'wireless' network, even though it's already connected via ethernet. I don't have a wireless card in the Mac, and I don't want to connect the desktop using wi-fi/wireless. It's connected via ethernet, works fine during configuration, and I don't ever anticipate a desire to connect the desktop via wi-fi.
No matter what I do, I can't get the desktop to connect via ethernet. The only network connection option I'm offered is 'Rescan'. O.k. the desktop can't find the wireless network (because it doesn't have a wireless card), and I'm unable to continue with the Airport Utility. I can't make any further changes to the network (the options to manually change the network configuration are not available as the desktop Mac cannot currently talk to the AE - It's still trying to connect wirelessly), and the desktop has no internet connection as it's trying to connect wirelessly.
*How can I...*
*Setup/run a wireless network, while keeping the desktop Mac connected via ethernet?*
I'm perfectly willing to factory reset the AE and start over.
Any help appreciated.
Thwarted by the network.

My Father in law has my old computer; It's a PowerMac G5 (Dual 1.8GHz CPUs) running OS 10.5.8), connected to internet via cable (TimeWarner) modem. It does NOT have an Airport or Airport Extreme card installed. The computer works fine, and I don't believe that I 'need' an Airport Card in order to use the Airport Extreme (it's a brand new/refurbished model) in the manner described below.
That is correct, you could connect the PowerMac G5, via Ethernet, to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or any other wired router for Internet access. You do NOT need an AirPort Card for wired access ... ONLY if you want the G5 to connect to a wireless network.
I would like to use the Airport Extreme to generate/run a wireless network (Do I need an Airport Card in order to generate/run a wireless network? Doesn't the AE actually do that?)
That is correct, the AEBS is a wireless router that can provide a wireless network. The AirPort Card, on the other hand is a wireless adapter used to allow a Mac to connect to a wireless network, created by any wireless router ... not just those provided by Apple.
As far as I know, this should be possible.
Basic steps/as I understand them:
A. Connect ethernet from cable modem to AE.
B. Connect ethernet from AE to desktop Mac.
C. Create the wireless network using desktop Mac and Airport Utility.
D. Restart AE to start the wireless network running.
E. Connect Roku to wireless network over wi-fi.
Yes, these are all good assumptions.
As soon as I restart the AE, my desktop Mac tries to connect to the 'wireless' network, even though it's already connected via ethernet. I don't have a wireless card in the Mac, and I don't want to connect the desktop using wi-fi/wireless.
Do you actually have an AirPort Card installed in the G5 now? If so, then it might be possible that the "firing order" for network connectivity has AirPort at the top of the list under System Preferences > Network. Just change the order to have Ethernet at the top and disable AirPort to ensure that the G5 connects by Ethernet only.

Spiceworks Network Monitor Foibles

Hello team, I have
some questions and concerns about the network monitor. My up time has been
about 65% since installing the monitor to a standalone, sufficiently powered
system. After an extended period of monitoring it will cease loading and
auto-refreshing the page. Also, when I conduct server reboots, the monitor will
not refresh when the server comes back up (I verify the connectivity from the
standalone system itself as well as remote into the server/run a ping -t to
track its' status). Thirdly, I have not been able to add any SNMP devices: wifi
APs, switches, routers, temperature monitors, and my UPS all return failures
when using the correct credentials to connect. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Taken from http://community.spiceworks.com/help/Spiceworks_Network_Monitor:
Install the Network Monitor on its own Windows device. Having the Network Monitor and the Spiceworks Desktop Application on the same machine is highly discouraged.

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off. How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM. My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore. Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc. I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads. Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system. I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system. But are there other options to connect the new TC. Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above. after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working. Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
Now a rant. I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work. The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network. Are we going backwards?
Thanks!

Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed. I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
I think this is mistaken.
Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC. the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
Thanks again!
You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop. I want to sign on to my airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network.

I have just acquired an iMac desktop (about 4 years old). I want to connect to my Apple airport wireless network, but cannot remember the password. How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it. I already use a MacBook Pro and an iPad on the network and don't want to jeopardize what already works well. I am not all that computer literate.

How can I access the password or, if necessary, reset it.
Read the user manual that came w/your Airport router or you can cross-post in one of the AirPort Forums for instructions.
