WRT54G - Limited or no connectivity error

My wireless network had been working fine for about 2 months. About a week ago I started to experience an intermittent problem. I will get an error message on the wireless network icon in the windows icon tray that I have "limited or no connectivity". The signal strength remains "excellent" and the speed is 54.0 Mbs. I will sometimes also get a message that there is an IP conflict on the network. The computer that is wired to the router continues to have internet access. The problem appears to affect only the wirelessly connected computer.
Powering down and then back up the entire network does not resolve the problem. One night I went to bed with the error occurring, but the next morning things were working. It worked for a few hours, but when I returned in the evening the problem had returned.
I need help before I have to scrap another wireless router.

Are you using any fixed LAN IP addresses on your network. If so, please list the the fixed LAN IP addresses that you are using, and also state your DHCP server range.
Also, are you running an open (unencrypted) wireless network?

WRT54G - Limited or no connectivity

I have a WRT54G that was set up and working great for the past two weeks.
Last night I had problems connecting via my Laptop and today I cannot connect through my hardwired desktop. On the desktop I get the message "Limited or no connectivity."
If I remove the router from the system and wire the desktop directly to the modem I regain Internet Access - so the problem has to be with the router, not the ISP.
I read some of the other posts and tried to access the router through the #1 port using the default IP of http://192.168.1.1 and using the password of admin. If I leave the user name blank and input admin as the password I get a screen that indicates that I do not have authorization to enter.....
Any ideas? Thanks in advance and have a great Thanksgiving.

Yes, I used the CD that came with the router.
During the installation the CD installed the Linksys Easy Link program.
When I tried to use the Easy Link program this morning to fix the problem it didn't seem to recognize the previous settiing and wanted me to start zt the beginning and name the network, etc. I followed these steps with no success - the end result was a message indicating that the program did not support my router.
Is it a hardware problem?
Thanks in advance.

WRT54G - limited or no connectivity - stalls at "aquiring network address"

Ok, so I decided to move my modem and router to a different location in the house and unplugged and re-set everything. I went through the basic setup and finally got to the point where I can get internet when the pc is wired to the router. Wireless, the pc is picking up the network fine but when it gets to "aquiring network address" it just stalls and eventually I get the message that I have limited or no connectivity. When I righ click on the network connection icon and click "repair" connection it cannot verify network address. My xbox 360 is also picking up the network but fine but will not connect. Everything was working fine beforehand but I cannot for the life of me figure out what setting needs adjustment.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

FWIW, this is similar to a problem I just posted. I got around the problem by selecting properties on the connection, and changing the settings under 'Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties' to use a specific IP address.
These settings worked for me:
IP 192.168.1.101
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
Preferred DNS server 192.168.1.1
Alternate DNS server 192.168.1.2
I haven't yet found a solution to allow me to go back to obtaining an IP address automatically. Did you?

Win XP Serv Pk 3 "Limited or no Connectivity" Error on Ethernet and Airport

Hi,
I have a 2009 MacBook Pro (dual boot) with a fresh install of Windows XP, SP3 and Boot Camp drivers. But I can’t get it to work properly with any other computer on a network, connected via ethernet or wifi. I have a "Limited or no Connectivity” message at all times. Other computers on my network can connect to my MBP, but I can’t connect to them. The MBP is sending out hundreds of packets, but only receiving 1 or 2. It also fails when trying to establish an IP address with my network.
I am a long time mac user and unfamiliar with Windows networking, any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks!
Christopher

OK... I'm... annoyed, to say the least.
I have just set up XP-SP3 under bootcamp. Installation went fine, it boots, I'm in Windoze now.
I can seem to get it to interface with my Airport Extreme basestation. (I had to connect my ethernet to get on-line here)
I get to a window that says "choose a wireless network". I pick my DJ Tempo's network. (It works just fine under OS 10.6.5.)
I click "connect".
I get a window that says "The network 'DJ Tempo's Network' requires a network key (also called a WEP key or WPA key). A network key helps prevent unknown intruders from connecting to this network."
I put in the password for my Basestation, and click "connect".
I then get a window that says "The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hex...
This is probably where my problem lies. My Basestation password is not 5 or 13 characters.
Have I told you enough to arrive at a conclusion?
ANY help will be most appreciated. It's a perfect example of why "I don't do Windoze".

WRT54Gs newbie: no internet connection error message

Greetings,
I picked up a used WRT54Gs v7 and am tying to install it in my network. I'm wanting to have another wireless access point other than our iMac.
After looking through the "Guide Me" here on this site, I was able to get the ethernet connection working so the iMac connects to the internet. Although I can connect my laptop via the iMac's wireless point, I haven't been able to connect wirelessly to the WRT54Gs with either the laptop or my cell phone. On the laptop, the error is "No Interntet Connection.".
It also feels like my internet connection is slower through the Linksys than it was through a "generic" switch.
So, since I'm a newbie, what should my troubleshooting look like in order determine if there are settings that need to be adjusted or if it's simply a bum unit?
Thanks

Hi, how did you connect the WRT54GS router? Did you connect that router to a modem or to another router? How was that router configured? Is it acting as a DHCP server or just a plain switch? I would suggest that you upgrade the router’s firmware and to reset the router in order for the router to have a stable performance. You can then check on the link below for different ways on how you can configure your router.

Airport Utility Disables Wireless Connection - No Connectivity Error

In setting up an AX to stream iTunes to my stereo over my existing wireless network (Netgear access point), it appears that the Airport Utility has somehow disabled wireless access for my laptop, as I now get a "limited or no connectivity" error message and cannot connect to the internet.
Airport Utility detected the AX, I set a password for it, directed it to join my wireless network, selected WPA2 encryption and entered the 26-character key to the network. AU then said the AX couldn't join the network, and wireless connectivity for the whole PC disappeared and I haven't been able to get it back.
It appears that Airport Utility somehow altered some of the network settings on my PC but I can't figure out what. I spent hours trying to figure this out last night and am at a loss. Help!

Welcome to the discussion area, mrdowntown!
When you are setting up the AirPort Express, you are using a default network provided by the Express with a name like +Apple Network xxxxxx+. You need to be on this network to be able to configure the device. Your computer was on this network.
Chances are, your PC may still be trying to access that network, and not the network that you normally use. See if that might be the case.
WPA2 Security would be used on the AirPort Express if that is exactly the setting the Netgear router is using. If the Netgear is using WPA type encryption, try the WPA/WPA Personal setting on the AirPort Express.
Unless the security settings match up exactly, the Express will not be able to join the Netgear wireless network correctly. See if you can find the settings page for the Netgear to see exactly what type of security it is using.
You'll need to "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to flash more quickly. Then try to reconfigure the Express. Unfortunately, if you don't have the right settings entered on the Express, you'll have to start all over again.

Connection error on wrt54g

i have a 2wire modem and have dsl internet. when i'm installing the program and it's checking for internet connection it tells me that i have a connection error and tells me to turn off my modem and turn it on again and it still doesn't work. I connected my modem cable to the wrt54g in the 1st opening and the blue cable that comes with the wrt54g on the "internet" opening and the other end to the harddrive and while it's set up like that i noticed that when i open internet a page opens saying that i have no internet. i need help, thanks

To set up the router, first you use an ethernet cable to connect your computer to one of the numbered ports on the WRT54G. Do not connect the modem yet. Then use the setup disk that came with the router. Put the setup disk in the computer's CD drive. Follow the instructions on the setup disk. The setup disk will tell you when to connect your modem to the Internet port on the WRT54G.

Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
I hope someone is ably to help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

FTPS connection error in the adapter monitoring

Hi people,
I make a FTPS connection and the adapter monitor give me this error:
Error: Error connecting to ftp server 'ithppbd0':
ConnectException: Connection timed out (errno:238)
I use a certificate to make this connection.
Is obligatory the use of the private key? or I can use a public key and how?
Thanks!

You may verify the URL, Login ID and Password with logging in via a browser or command prompt.
Some FTP sites allow only a limited number of connections, so check with the FTP site administrator. In the adapter, make sure that you have specified the correct Connection Security and the Command Order.
FTPS does not need the keys, unless you have specified the X.509 Cetificate for Client Authentication.
Lastly, Make sure that the connect mode is per File Transfer.
Hope this helps,
Bhanu

Wet54g limited or no connectivity

when i hook up my wet54g wireless bridge it shows limited or no connectivity on the local area connection. if anybody could help it would be very much appreciated.

If you have connect the Bridge directly to your computer you will get that error message on your Computer.
To configure your Bridge follow this link.

Number of connection to this computer limited and all connections are in use right now

I have Lenovo ThinkPad T520 (i7, NVIDIA 4200TM) with dock station and two monitors. Sometimes when I close notebook and undock it from dock station. Then I cannot login to my notebook because of error "Number of connection to this computer limited and
all connections are in use right now". This is screenshot of my laptop http://i.imgur.com/6MXnQKf.jpg
Laptop is not in domain and does not have remote desktop connections. It was just turned in sleep mode and late turned on.
This happen pretty often one from 10..20 times of undock. It did not happen with Windows 7 before.

The network does not work properly after you resume the computer. This kind of issues are cuased by the network device driver. Download the latess Windows 8 driver from Lenovo website and install it.

I can't set up yahoo mail, it says theres connection error occurring

When I try to hook up yahoo it gives me an error message about the connection error occuring. I could set up gmail though.

HI ...
Login to your Yahoo account on your computer to make sure the password is correct.
Does the password or Yahoo! ID have any special characters? Mobile devices can experience compatibility limits with passwords that contain special characters. If your password contains any special characters you can always log on to a computer and change your Yahoo password so to something that's more compatible.

[Athlon64] Limited or no connectivity

I asked this question already in another post, but wanted to ask again just in case that post is too old. here is the original https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=80369.0
Here are the system details:
Silverstone case LC11
MSI RS480M2
AMD 3200+
Western Digital SATA 250gb
NEC DVD burner
Hauppauge PVR-500
ATI X600 PRO
When I load the OS from scratch and get the computer up and running, it locks up and freezes when I connect the network cable. After a restart, I load the driver for the Realtek network adapter from the MSI download site and now the computer doesn't freeze but I get the limited or no connectivity message with no network connection. In the other post someone mentioned that the 240 watt power supply provided with this case may not be big enough. If that is the case, can someone tell me why the computer functions fine otherwise, just no network connection? If a new case or power supply is needed, I can do that, but I would like to know that I am not just in trial and error mode. I need to get this computer finished quickly and would welcome any suggestions.
Thanks

Thank you both very much for all the help. Problem solved.
The cure was a combination of a couple things you suggested. The main issue was that for some reason it was conflicting with the Hauppauge PVR-500 card. When I pulled everything apart again and only used the graphic card, I got internet access. To that point I hadn't tried loading the drivers for the PVR card either so I don't know for sure, but I don't think it was recognizing it at all. Once I then plugged the PVR card in again, it brought up the new hardware wizard and I was able to load the drivers for it, while still getting network connection. So now its all up and running without flaw (that I have found yet anyway).
I guess that was a little refresher course for me in, if there is a problem, go back to the minimal system and start adding once the base pieces work.
Thanks again guys for everything.
I'm glad you sorted that out....
Be well....

N80 Connection Errors

I have the N80 on Vodafone, quite often (ie every second call i make) i get a connection error and the phone hangs up.
Whoever i call gets a missed call from my number but their phone never rings...

Dual only switches when there is no signal, not poor. And if the handset suddnly reaches that threashold during a call, seems to simply drop the call, then switch.
Get exactly the same on Orange so either it's the way the handset deals with this, or the networks don't support seamless switching between £G and GSM???

Data Federator data source not available causes Universe Connection error

I created a Data Federator project that connects to 20 servers across US and Canada. All data sources are SQL Server 2005. The DF project maps 40 source objects into 4 target objects. I created a universe based on the DF project and we have been quite pleased with Webi query response. Today one of the source servers was taken off line and this generated a connection error when trying to access the universe (not trying to access the data source that failed). We do not want the universe connection to error when one source server is not available u2013 is that possible?
If the answer is no then I see us abandoning what appears to be a great solution for real time distributed reporting and resorting to ETL and moving data.

Hi Chapman,
Can you be little elobrate on what you have done to solve the issue.
Thanks,
