WRT160N connects wirelessly on Windows 7 laptop, but not on Windows XP

Windows XP was working well on WRT54G, but obtained additional laptop which has Windows 7 which evidently was not compatible with WRT54G according to the trouble shooter on Windows 7. So, bought a WRT160N, which I believe is Version 3.
1. Ran the setup for the WRT160N on the XP computer and went fine. But when trying to connect wirelessly, the connection screen sits there trying to connect to the router with indication stating "Verifying Identity". The number of packets being received only amounts to about     3. The LAN cable works like a champ, though this is not the purpose of a wireless router.
2. I applied the WEP password to the Windows 7 Laptop and it works great.
3. What to I need to do to clean up the connection to the Windows XP computer? 
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Click on the Start button >>> Control Panel >>> Network Connections- Here right click on the "Wireless Network Connection" icon and select Properties- Click on the 'Authentication' tab- Uncheck "Enable network access control using IEEE 802.1x" and click on Ok. Now,again go to Network Connection and try to connect the Wireless Network.

  • AOL Broadband, will connect to laptop, but not connect to internet explorer. WRT54GS v.6

    I can connect to my wireless network via my laptop, but not to internet explorer. We have changed every setting imaginable and re-set the modem, router many times. We Ip configed, did ping tests, installed and re-installed the card in the laptop. Done all this 4 times with the tech support from Linksys. Finally, I realized it must the wireless router and/or modem configuration. (The laptop works on every other network in town except ours, and has not security settings enabled).
    I have been on customer service calls for 2 weeks, with AOL and linksys and nothing seems to be helping me. I have 2 wireless routers (thought the first was bad, so bought another brand new), and just had a brand new modem installed. Basically, I have brand new equipment.
    The laptop has no security settings and connect to any wireless network in town. It finds the connection to my WRT54GS v.6, but will not connect via internet explorer.
    I want to uninstall and re-install the router. How do I uninstall the router? (I have instruction for re-installation). Also AOL rep told me, to make sure I configure the router to a certain port range. Any ideas as to how to do this?
    Anyone have problems with AOL high speed and linksys router? Has the high speed cable cord coming out of the wall, not ethernet or DSL.
    We have changed the settings in http://192.168.1.1 till I am blue in the face. None of the channels worked, security didn't work, adding the ip address manually to the laptop didn't work. I am getting no error messages. Am trying to get this wireless modem working because I need it. Should have come to this forum first!

    hi..if you want to uninstall the router...the only thing you need to do is hold the reset button down for 30 seconds...
    i m a bit confused here as to why the ISP techs asked you to forward ports on the router...port forwarding is needed for a specific application or a device that is behind the router....
    the mentioned ports are for AOL messenger ( AIM )....and has nothing to do with the modem...anyways , let us work out together on this issue...carry out the steps i mention and you can revert back with the results and your success rate...
    1) connect the computer to the modem and check what ip address you have on the computer ??
    2) go to start -> control panel -> network connections ->
     let me know what other icons you have besides Local Area Connection and Wireless Network Connection..
    3)connect the computer to the router and the router to the modem...
    access the router using http://192.168.1.1 .. let the internet connection type be on DHCP....check the ip address on the status page of the router ui...
    4) if it is 0.0.0.0 , go to setup tab and go to mac address clone subtab , enable it and hit clone..save the settings and do a power cycle...
    5) check whether you have the ip address...if you have the same ip as coming off of the modem..u should be online and if still 0.0.0.0 , then select PPPoE for the internet connection type and enter the username and password...check whether the ip address comes up....if still negative, ensure that the modem is in bridge mode...
    6)if the ip address comes up as 192.168.1.x , change the local ip add of the router to 192.168.2.1 and do a power cycle..
    let me know for any help !!!

  • 3rd gen iPod Nano will not sync with latest version of iTunes. It passes the connectivity test but not the sync test under diagnostics.  Worked fine on old Windows 7 laptop but not new one.  From Control Panel it shows up as an Apple iPod USB Device...

    Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
    There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

  • Unable to connect wirelessly on an Acer laptop using Vista

    I have a Windows XP connected wirelessly to my Verizon Router M1424WR, but I am unable to connect wirelessly on an Acer laptop using Vista. The Vista can only connect with Ethernet. It will not accept the WEP key.

    #1 Check the level of WEP. Two examples: 64 Bit, 128 Bit.
    #2 And check to be sure, if you use a WEP password of Hex or Ascii.

  • WRT54G Wireless router works on desktop, but not laptop

    I have a WRT54G wireless router with version 1.00.4
    It works on my desktop, I can log into the net no prob
    My laptop however (dell w/ windows xp) does not even recognize it.
    Wierd thing is, it worked perfectly with no problems today, I have been going online with my laptop using the wireles router for weeks now..
    I haven'tupgraded the firmware, or do anything to any of the computers whatsoever.
    When it stopped working, I reset my router/modem, I transfered over my MAC, etc.. but the laptop still does not even recognize my router signal when I try to search for it on my laptop.. It will recognize a handful of other wireless routers from the neighborhood, but not mine.
    My desktop is windows xp, and so is my router.
    Any helpwould be greatly appreciated.

    I have my iTunes library stored on an external hard drive which is connected to my airport extreme, I wish to share my iTunes library over my network, I can do this with my laptop, but not with my iPad, can anyone tell me if it is possible

    You can't connect directly to the external drive, but should be able to use iTunes Home Sharing via the laptop.

  • HT3669 Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. Can someone please advise me how I get the printer to work with my i-Mac? I have installed it but documents don't print. Thanks

    Hi I have a Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer. This works with my Windows-based Toshiba laptop but not with my i-Mac. I have the latest (Mountain Lion 10.8.2) OS-X software.
    I have installed the printer using 'System Preferences' on my i-Mac and it appears on the list of available printers but documents that I create just don't print.
    Can someone please advise me how I get the Konica Minolta PagePro 1300W printer to work with my i-Mac?
    Thanks, John Lee

    Looking at the Konica web site for the PagePro 1300W, I saw the following note.
    Please note: This printer is designed to be used in computer operating systems running MS Windows only. Operating systems such as UNIX, Macintosh, or Linux are not supported nor do we have workaround drivers available. Older MS Windows versions, such as Windows 3.1/95/98[pre-SE] and NT 3.51/4.0, are not supported.
    So KM are not going to help you. But the LinuxFoundation does provide a workaround that should allow you to print. Have a look at this web page. You will need to install all three packages as per the instructions from that page.

    As kb1951 states, unless this phone was purchased directly from Apple, it is not officially unlocked. In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones. The message you got generally means your phone was hacked to unlock it...jailbroken...Apple's servers have detected such & are preventing your phone from activating...there's nothing wrong with the activation servers.
    You'll need a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to in order to activate it. If you don't know what carrier, you'll have to call AppleCare in the US to determine this info. Be aware, US carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there is most likely no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
    Good luck.

    I am using Adobe Reader X on a laptop with Windows Vista OS and Adobe Reader XI on an older laptop with Windows XP OS.  While filling out the same form on each computer, I have found that I can save info on the older laptop, but not on the newer one.  This is a big problem.  I must be able to save on the newer computer.  Do I need to buy a new computer with a more up-to-date OS?  Please help.

    Adobe Reader X can only save reader-enabled forms. Adobe Reader XI can save all forms.

    I am very happy to report that my server connection tech, which I called via landline, informed me to : 1. Open Tools 2. Scan down to Clear Recent History 3. Delete All. That was it! Unbelievable! Six hours of searching through the Windows catagories. I checked the results on an internet site, and viola! It was gone! Mozilla Firefox seems to remember the usernames and passwords irregardless of the option window that asks if you if want it to remember the user and password. I finally got in touch with my friend and he said he did not answer yes to the window, even though he was aware of it. No damage. I surely do appreciate everyones' concern in this, now what seems to be, a very simple solution. Cudos to Firefox! Thank-you! P.S. I now have to enter my information at the beginning of any password protected sites...no harm done! My friend is now condemned to the 'user account' site! lol...

  • My MP990 will scan using my Win 7 laptop but not with my XP desktop

    I have been running my MP990 using a WiFi connection. I had to replace the printer with another MP990. I can still use the scanner function using the Win 7 laptop but not on the desktop XP. With XP, I get the following message:
    Cannot comunicate with scanner for these reasons:
    - Scanner is turned off
    - Scanner is disconnected
    (It is disconnected from LAN, if using on LAN)
    Please check and try again
    Scanner Driver will be closed
      Code:5,145,55
    Since it will scan using the Win 7 "Windows Fax and Scan" but will not work on the desktop XP, I suspect I need to re-install the software. I don't have the orifinal disk but I did download  a couple of files: MP990soswin100us.exe or mpnx_3_0-win-3_05-ej-exe
    Can I just run one of the above .exe files to take care of my problem?

    Hi gooch,
    I recommend installing both of the files you mentioned as one is the driver and the other is MP Navigator.  The driver will get the basic files installed, but the MP Navigator gives you an easy to use interface to power the scanner.

  • Unable to update apps since I have closed my Verizon e-mail account.  The old ID address pops up and I can not do updates.  I can not use the old password since the account is closed.  I have a new ID and password on my laptop but not for my I phone.

    My Verizon e-mail account is closed and I can not access the needed updates for my I phone apps.  Even if I knew the password I would have to access the old e-mail account which I can not do.  I have an ID and password for my new laptop but not for my I phone which is under a Verizon service contract....ugh!!!  Thanks

    You don't need to access the email account.
    Use the link provided by robdrage to update your old AppleID.

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

    My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

    Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off.  It will not charge while the phone is on.  Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything.  I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?
