Wireless PC's showing as wired

I am having ip conflict issues and was looking at the dhcp client list on the router. All of the PC's except one is wireless. The client list shows only one PC wireless and the others as wired. If someone could explain how this is I would really appreciate the direction. I am going to try to fix the ip conflict by assigning static addresses to the PC's. The router is a BEFW11S4V4 and all of the PC's are running XP. The lone exception is the server and it is running of course Windows 2000 Server. That is the one that is hard wired to the router; and that is the machine that is causing the ip conflict.

1) Please list all fixed LAN IP addresses that you are using.
2) If you are not using the default DHCP server range of 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 , then please state your DHCP server range.
The most common reason to get two identical IP addresses, is if you are using fixed LAN IP addresses incorrectly on your system.
Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
Check all of your static LAN IP addresses. If you have violated any of the above rules for static LAN IP addresses, it could be the cause for your problem, and you should fix it before attempting any other router repairs or changes.

Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer

Want to print wirelessly from macbook pro to wired PC and printer using wireless router.
I am having trouble setting this up? help? suggestions?

> Printer is showing its location as a direct connection via USB
But it's on the PC right ? So it's a shared network printer with a Spooler (this is how it should be configured using Prnter Setup Utility ...)
> If I click to run dic utility there are no clickable options... only lists calculate image checksum.
Once Disc Utility is launched, select your local hard drive then the [Repair Permissions] button bottom left will light up.

I have tried reseting the network settings and forgetting my wireless connection and re-connecting to it. I even backed up my phone on itunes and restored it, factory reseted it. Nothing seems to work.
Also after my upgrade to ios 8.1 my personal hotspot option under cellular data has disappeared.
Would you please help me out? I would really appreciate it.

Hi..
Restart your router then restart the iPhone to test.

In addition to RyanJC's comments, the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can store up to five different http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108081 configuration profiles. You will need to use the AirPort Utility to create & save these profiles.
To create a new profile:
Open AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
Click "+" to create a new profile; give it a name, and then, click OK.
Set options, such as network name, passwords, Internet connection method, etc.
When done setting the options, click Update.
To switch profiles:
Open the AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
Click on the desired profile, and then, click OK to apply the new profile and restart the AX.
Just remember to switch to the desired configuration profile before removing power from the AX.

My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help!

My 2nd generation Airport Extreme very slow via wireless (5 and belows mbps) wired over 20. Please help! What could it be?

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference nearby that is preventing your AEBSn from providing a clean RF signal on the 2.4 GHz band.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

EAP-TLS for Wireless network and PEAP for wired network

Hello,
it is possible to use EAP-TLS for Wireless network and PEAP for wired network on the same laptop (Windows 7).
Thank you in advance.
Thibault

Yes, this is possible. You just need to properly configure each interface to use the EAP type you want.

I have an unlimited talk plan but I received a $40 long distance charge this month...no explanation, just says "long distance-Verizon wireless". Nothing shows up in roaming...what is this??

i have an unlimited talk plan but I received a $40 long distance charge this month...no explanation, just says "long distance-Verizon wireless". Nothing shows up in roaming...what is this??

Sorry for any uncertainty about your bill, vintagefaith77! I can see how it would unsettle you to see a charge you didn't expect. Although you may have unlimited domestic minutes with your plan, long distance charges occur when you make a call to a non-domestic phone number (international). It wouldn't be a roaming charge because the call was made from within your home calling area (the United States) to an international number.
I recommend reviewing your detailed statement for the call(s). Some 10 digit numbers can be dialed from your phone but still be international (such as calls to Canadian or Dominican Republic numbers).

WRT1900AC - wireless device shows as wired connection in device map

Just purchased the WRT1900AC and going through the process of setting up my devices.
I have a fitbit aria wireless scale and after connecting it to the router it appears as a LAN device instead of a wireless device in the device map. It appears to work, so it's not a functional problem but rather a cosmetic one.
The device has firmware 1.1.8.164461 (updated today).

Yes there is a known bug regarding this.

Thanks for your response Dean! There is no 'screen' on our printer so I'm a bit perplexed how to do what you have suggested. On top of the printer, left hand side there are button's for:
Power
Cancel
Scan {USB only}
Copy Settings x 2 buttons
Black
Colour
Wireless
Basically all we need to know is how to reconnect the Wireless to the new router. The HP Software is working fine with the Ethernet connected MAC & we have no problems printing directly from that. Once the printer is connected to the new router the other devices will be able to see it & connect.
Thanks!

10.4.8 and Airport Extreme - wireless con. not showing up on boot up

Ever since I installed 10.4.8, in order for my 2WIRE connecttion to show up in the "Internet Connect" drop menu on my desk top, I have to check off the "Internet Robustness" setting first, and only then will my airport extreme locate 2WIRE and connect.
I've engaged - and disengaged to see if it made any difference - the preference for "enable interference robustness in the Airpor>options pane. Made no difference. It's not a huge deal, but I wonder why the change. Any ideas?

Could be that a combination of the last OSX 10.4 security update and also
the AirPort Extreme updates have some effects on these subtle or not so
subtle differences in how the system works, now. Mine occasionally won't
work correctly with my desktop iMacG4 unless the Robustness setting is
turned on; and I have the nearby option to choose a wired connection
through the AEBS on the wall by my desktop computer, too. My iBook
seems to mostly just work; unless there is an AEBS or IP/DSL issue.
That kind of problem never used to happen and I'd just lose the wireless
without any understandable reason; at least now I know interference rob-
ustness setting appears to make a difference when it unexpectedly quits,
I have at least one more thing to toggle to see if I get it back; before I
start in on the DSL modem or other settings inside the AirPort Setup Utility.
The last thing if it does not work, is unplug the AEBS and/or ADSL unilt.
But, if you use a small straightened paperclip in the reset hole, you'd
have to check and rechoose settings in the AEBS; as it goes default.
Seems to me, once I uploaded to the AEBS from the iBook that runs
OSX 10.4.x, it was acting funky; but for awhile since another update
was done, it seems to work OK. Since the odd behavior messed with
the iMacG4 (10.3.9) I more often use it via ethernet from AEBS. The
iBook sees the wireless better than the iMacG4. Since both of mine
have Extreme wireless cards, I changed the AirPort's 802.11 to /g only.
That helped a bit and the desktop Mac on wi-fi doesn't drop as much.
I see no real answers to "fix" this; but there is some incidental evidence
that some newer spec wireless base stations may be coming soon to
an authorized reseller or through the authentic online source. Perhaps a
new answer is out there, in new hardware and software. I hope an update
will fix these little issues; I've had one AEBS for about three years and
it used to just work fantastically with OS 9.2.2 and standard airport, with
dialup. Then I brought in Jaguar in the machines I had then, and Panther;
plus Tiger, and now two other Macintoshes plus a spare AEBS.
Cross fingers?!

Officejet Pro 8600 Wireless Setup -Printing shows in Queue and then disappears. Not Printing

I just received the Officejet Pro 8600 as a gift and loaded the set up software and it on my wireless network. When I try to print an email or a coupon, the command goes to the printer and shows in the queue. Then after several seconds, the printing queue (job) disappears without printing the document. Does this command go through the HP ePrint function or the Network Officejet Pro 8600? It shows the HP ePrint as being on USB.
I've run all of the diagnostics, downloaded all of the new software, firmware and updates. I've spend many hours trying to get the printer to print.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
This question was solved.

Hi @bksechols
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that when you send a print job to your Officejet 8600 printer that it goes to the print queue and then disappears without the print job printing.
To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information?
How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet, or wireless)?
What operating system are you using?
Are all print jobs failing? If yes and you are using a Windows operating system, please Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor for Windows. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues.
When you send a print job are emailing the printer’s ePrint email address? If so please review The HP ePrint Print Job Did Not Print If you are sending the print job by using the print command, please review the Print Jobs from Your HP Printer are Stuck in the Print Queue document.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Windows 7 and XP Disable wireless when connected to hot wired

Hello there,
We are facing IP address shortage due to redundant network connections from laptops because every laptop uses two IP address when connected to wireless network and hard wire. Does Windows 7 and XP natively has the options to disable wireless when a laptop
is connected to hard wired? I know the wireless can easily disabled by manual process but problem is user don't have the knowledge or don't bother to do that. So if there is a way to use GPO to configure this would be ideal -- no 3rd party solution please.
Any suggestion is most welcomed.
Thanks,
TL

There are no Fail proof ways for Win 7 or 8 to make sure that AT ALL times Wire is used over WIFI. The metric setting is ignored by MS. I know cause my metric for the wired is 10 and for the WiFi is 9999, but at all times the WiFi is used instead of the
Wired. This is by design as Microsoft being as inept as always did not properly design their operating system. This is a DESIGN DEFECT, which Microsoft will not admit to, despite the fact that it could be caused by no other method EXCEPT incompetent design,
ignored during quality assurance testing etc. The reason there are a million people looking for a fix for this design flaw is that there is NO fix available. MS will not fix it as they got your money and could care less. Being that they are among the most
evil and greedy companies currently in business is why it will never be fixed. I dare them to prove me wrong and fix the obvious design defect. I double dare all who read this to log in to the MS tech net and demand that they fix this DESIGN DEFECT.
Any developer qualified to design an OS should have no problem permanently fixing this and Microsoft has NO EXCUSE for not doing so with an update!!!!!! All they have to do in the code logic is ask the system if the device getting an IP etc is using a "radio"
then it asks all the other devices that are getting or have gotten an IP if it was gotten via a radio, If during any of these quires the answer is I DID NOT get my IP from a radio connection then that IP path gets priority and all the others, IE WiFi gets
disabled. Then if there is a change in the network, loss of connectivity for example, the process is repeated and when everything say's it got its IP from a radio then the WiFi takes over. So in a nut shell every connection is looked at to see if it is from
a radio based device or a hardwired based device, NOT using metrics since that apparently can not be counted on, the prof is in the 500+ PCs I just setup, ALL OF WHICH GIVE A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER METRIC TO THE WIRED, but still choose the WIFi. The order of
the connection establishment should not matter since the test is performed on every connection and as soon as one is found that is not radio based, it is left on and all others are turned off. Common sense really. This is NOT ROCKET science! Just good common
sense programing.
So I challenge everyone who reads this comment to add a demand for MS to fix the DESIGN DEFECT once and for all.
That's all I have to say. If there is a script as some of the suggestions here mention that can do it, if there is a single 3rd party product out there that can do it, then there is NO EXCUSE for MS not to provide a PERMANENT OFFICIAL MICROSOFT CERTIFIED
FREE fix for this DEFECT. And yes it can only be classified as a DESIGN DEFECT as common sense say's you would AT NO time under normal operations EVER want the MUCH slower WiFi, 100 mbps compared to 1000 mbps for wired to be in charge. EVER! Even if
the wired nic is only 100 mbps, some cheep junk laptops have the indecency to come with a 100 mbps nic instead of a Gigabit, the Wired is still better 99.99999% of the time.
And one last thing this IS THE ONLY REAL ACCEPTABLE ANSWER to the original question, and all the others just like it who EXPECT, with GOOD REASON, that COMMON SENSE, would be in charge NOT ignorance and defective designs, and that AT ALL TIME WIRED RULES
OVER WIFI.
Hope this helps, it is time to insist that MS do their job AND FIX THE DESIGN DEFECT!!!!!!!!!
Ralph
PS Not all systems have switches on the outside for disabling the WiFi. My HPs don't and trying to train all the users on how to MANUALLY disable it and when to do so etc is like trying heard flock of sparrows, it's not happening, NOR SHOULD IT NEED TO!

WRT160N wireless is working, but not wired

Hello,
I installed firmware 2.0.02 and configured my WRT160N using the instructions from this post:
Post WRT160N
My wireless connection is working great from my laptop. I am very happy with the range and speed.
However, I have a desktop that is connected to one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the router, and I’m having problems with this.
When I first start using the desktop after boot-up, or after sitting for a long time, I open IE and I get a “Page Can Not be Displayed” error. Sometimes if I press Refresh a few times it starts working. Other times, it doesn’t start working until I login to the Linksys. All I do is login to the Linksys, I don’t change anything or do anything except login, then the Internet works fine from my desktop.
Another thing I’ve tried is release and renew my IP on the desktop. That also seems to solve the problem.
Another strange thing I noticed, when connecting wirelessly from my laptop, i.e. come out of suspend mode, the network connection switches from Connected to Disconnected, then back to Connected again. If I launch IE before this is done, I get a “Page Can Not be Displayed” error, but as long as I wait for it to say “Connected” the second time, it works great.
I have Comcast cable Internet service. Before the 160N, I was using a Linksys 4 port router (BEFSR41?). I never had any problems with that router wired to my desktop or laptop. I've had that router for many years and never had any problems (very solid).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I liked the WRT160N, but it turns out that version 2 of this router is defective.
See this post: WRT160N Post
I returned the WRT160N and exchanged it for a WRT310N. I've been testing the 310N with wired and wireless connections (desktop and laptop), and it's been great! Not one problem.
Most of the Linksys home use routers use the Broadcom processor (including WRT160Nv1), but the WRT160Nv2 uses a Ralink processor, and it is the only one that uses Ralink.
Source of information
I saw one post that said they thought the 160N does not have enough memory. The 160N has 16MB of memory.
I chose the WRT310N because it has 32MB of memory and it uses a Broadcom processor.
My theory is that 310N will be more reliable because it uses a processor that Linksys is very familiar with and is tried and tested, and also because it has more memory.
The downside is that the 310N is $35 more expensive than the 160N.
I've also read that the 310N has heat issues, so I propped it up on an angle so it can get better air circulation.
Cheers!

WRVS4400N wireless does not work until wired computer is started

Hi!
I have a WRVS4400N and is overall very pleased with it. I have desktop computer which is connected by wire and a laptop which is wirelessly connected (WPA). I use DHCP for both computers and the router is connected to Internet with a static IP. Pretty much all settings are default and the router has the latest firmware.
However I have a problem, sometimes I am unable to get a wireless connection with the laptop. The signal strength is always excellent or very good, but I am unable to get any connection. If I choose 'repair' (Windows XP) it seems to get stuck on "Getting new IP address". I have tried many many many things, rebooting router/laptop and so on but I am pretty sure it is not any problem with the laptop (it's been working great on several other WLANs).
But...
Now I have noticed a strange coincidence and that is 99% of the times when I am unable to connect wirelessly, the desktop computer is shut down. As soon as the desktop computer is started and I try to connected with the laptop again, it works! (There are never any problems with the wired connection.)
If anyone have the same problem or some suggestions/tips what to do please let me know.

well yeah its my first time hearing that kind of problem..
try enabling MAC address clone on the router.
