WRT54G Problem- SSID not showing in list & router not sending correct IP address

Everthing was humming along. Comcast Internet = fine. WRT54G router, several XP Pro/SP 3 computers, 1 Powerbook + wireless printers. etc = fine. PCs find network SSID and auto-connect without fail.
Then, Comcast Internet down. Reboot everything. Network back up. Computers then get wrong IP Address or do not see SSID. (No config changes on computers.)
So I:
1. Reinstall WRT54G firmware (v8) - no change.
2. Install new fresh WRT54G - using CD to install - no change
3. Update firmware in router used in #2 - no change
4. Complete reset cycle and reinstall -no change.
5. Repeat same reset with original router -no change
6. Using static IP address/default gate way/DNS address - PC finds and connects to SSID but does not access Internet.
Result - no computers find SSID. (SSID is hidden.) Don't find it when it's not hidden either.
Ethernet cabled PC works just fine. Gets correct IP Address & Internet access is fine.
Cable modem = Motorola Surf Board. No physical locations of any omponent has changed.
Is it possible that both WRT54G's are not working?
Is it somehow a Comcast problem?
Should I try some other router settings?
Many thanks!

Thanks. These are great instructions and quite useful for setup. Unfortunately, my problems seemed much more complex.
In the end, I redidi all the networking from scratch from the router through all the connected devices. Finally got things back up. I don't know how, but the Comcast failure seemed to corrupt lots of the settings even if they all looked OK.

[solved] gdm not showing user list and not recognizing gconf

I installed gdm2setup from aur and ran it as root, and since then gdm will no longer display a user browser to select my user from, I have to manually type in the user name and password to login.
I uninstalled gdm2setup, and then did a force reinstall for gdm (pacman -S --force gdm)
Then I rebooted, and as I mentioned, the user browser does not display.
I edited /etc/gdm/custom.conf so that it shows:
[greeter]
Browser=1
...but still no luck.
I made sure that gconf says that disable_user_list is not true, and it isn't.
gconftool-2 --get /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list
false
So I don't know what else to do, or why this is happening.
If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Here is the most recent :0-greeter.log after a fresh reboot
No idea if any of this is related to my problem.

Captions Not Showing in List View Though They are There

Ever since I've been using Aperture I've had issues with Captions not showing in List View. The caption is there and shows in the Info Panel but does not show in the List View. I close Aperture, reopen, and it appears in List View. Frustrating when trying to caption thousands of images. You think the image has no caption and when you add a caption it doubles up on what is already there, but could not been seen, and a mess is born. Any one else have this issue? I see it in every Library I create whether on my field laptop or my main desktop Library. Screen shot attached of caption showing in Info pane but not in list view.

Happens all the time. The problem has been there for as long as I can remember, and shows itself in Keywords as well as Captions, maybe others. And yes, it is a major annoyance, and it is a bug IMO. You've found the same workaround I have, namely to restart Aperture.
If you haven't already done so, submit a bug report using Aperture Feedback to add your voice to the list.

Perhaps you have made one column extra wide and the window isn't currently showing the Name column. Try resizing columns, turning off those that you don't need, or scrolling sideways.

Onlive TV listing does not show HD listing for series when I try to create a recording

It happened now already several times the the "Online TV Listing" does not show HD listing for series when I try to create a recording. Instead, it will show two series options in SD. Is this to make people use less bandwidth?
Here is what I am doing:
I go to this link https://www.verizon.com/fiostv/myservices/members/fiostv.aspx
Then to ...........DVR Manger
select ...........Record A Show
I type search e.g. Nathan for You
I click on ........Search
and I select ......Click here to Show Details
Then I get to chose from 2 (the same) SD channels.
Nathan for You
190 Comedy Central
Tue, Jul 29 10:30 PM
Record Show Record Series
Nathan for You
190 Comedy Central
Tue, Aug 05 10:30 PM
Record Show Record Series
But there is the same on channel 690 HD!
This happens not only to this particular channel!
I remember it used to show also the HD channels.
The only way to schedule in HD is to find the listing in the TV schedule, at the right time and there you will get the
correct choices for both SD & HD.
Can this be fixed?
Thanks!

On the right click on HD under video quality to filter it.

When bookmarking it does not show the list of folders that I have in bookmarks to place new bookmark into. I reset firefox

When bookmarking it does not show the list of folders that I have in bookmarks to place new bookmark into. I reset firefox and still have the bookmarks from the bookmark tab, Just bookmarking new ones the folders do not appear to place new bookmarks in, only a few folders show

Click the arrow at the far right (outside) of the Folder field (i.e. not the one in the Folder field) in the "Edit This Bookmark" window to access the complete folder list.<br />
This full folder list also opens if you click the drop marker in the Folder field and click the "Choose..." item.<br />
If folders in the list aren't expanded then look for a possibly faint arrow icon to expand/open the folders.

Did you try here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Next try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

What is DFU: Device Firmware Upgrade
Step 1: Turn off your iPod touch / iPhone completely and connect to PC / mac
Step 2: Hold down the Power button for 3 seconds
Step 3: Without releasing the power button, also hold the Home button for 10 seconds
Step 4: Without releasing the home button, release the power button and keep holding the Home button for 20 seconds.
Itunes will identify that you are in DFU mode.
That's when I got the black screen with USB and iTunes icons. iTunes itself, did not show my phone.

Font (times) not showing up in Dreamweaver, not in preferences font list

I'm on a computer using 10.6.8, Snow Leopard and Dreamweaver CS5. When we apply a style of Times New Roman to the text, it remains in it's default state (sans serif). When we apply a font family style, including times and a default serif font, the font still appears sans serif. This makes it seem like dreamweaver thinks the font it has is times, or it would default down the font family chain. When we preview in the browser the correct times new roman font is used.
I thought it might be all adobe apps, but photoshop and illustrator display times just fine. We've validated the font in font book, cleared up duplicate problems with other fonts in font book. We've used onyx to clear the font cache several times. After clearing the catch dreamweaver goes into some kind of font routine and takes about 15 minutes to get out of it. When I sample this process from activity monitor I see it running tons of font related routines. One time after this routine the correct times new roman font appeared! But after a program restart it disappeared again. Please help! We've spent hours already on this yesterday and am not looking forward to losing another half day today!

In addition to onyx I've also used the recommended "Font Finagler" application for clearing the font cache and working with fonts. It and font book both seem to validate and approve the times new roman font.
I logged in as another user and experienced the same problem.
In addition, I have a host of other fonts in the aphabetical ti-uvwxy range, and none of them show up in my font list in the system preferences font drop down. "Times", the first fallback font for the font family is within this missing range as well and does not show up. I know this list is for choosing the system fonts for the interface but I think it further points towards there being some kind of bug or problem with loading my entire font list into the application.
Again, these fonts work fine in the other adobe applications, just not in dreamweaver. I'll try and upload an image of the font list. You'll see it cuts off right at fonts that start with "th" even though I have loads of other fonts between t-z.

ICal not showing calendar list, crashing frequently

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to 10.7.2 a few days ago and I've found iCal to be extremely buggy. In addition to frequent crashes, I am unable to see my calendars in the Calendars list. Here's what I get when I click on it:
Is anyone else experiencing this? I feel like I need to reinstall the app, but can I do that without having to reinstall the entire system?
