WRT54GL unable to access wired shares or printer on PC from wireless iMac

The subject line applies to a new router on which I can access the internet ok both from the wired PC and the wireless iMac.
The problem is this router is unable to access the PC shares or printer from the iMac. Pls note, "this router"!
I have an identical WRT54GL v1.1, same firmware, setup is identical on both, one works with no problem, but the new one has the above problem..
I have spent a day on it and its in line for return on Monday, but I still hope for a miracle tip which may sort it out :-)
On the good one 'Port scan' of the PC from iMac gives me:
Port Scan has started ...
Port Scanning host: 192.168.1.100
Open TCP Port: 139
Open TCP Port: 445
while the faulty one gives me:
Port Scan has started ...
Port Scanning host: 192.168.1.100
..and thats it! No contact.
Yes, the router is set up for 'Lan & Wireless' (no way to change that setting to 'WAN only' it seems, it bounces back to 'Lan & Wireless')
I have btw done a Factory Reset on it (twice) with no joy.
Any ideas anyone?

My first guess for this kind of problem would be a software firewall on the computer. The firewall will detect where it is connected and configures the settings depending on the location. Two routers are two different "locations". Try turning off the firewall or even better deinstall it as often some parts of those software firewalls are still active when turned off.
The only option that does affect access of wireless clients to the LAN is the "AP Isolation" option on the "Advanced Wireless Settings". That should be off.
Another thing you could try if you like: do a configuration backup on the working router and restore it to the faulty one. Maybe there are some settings that don't match and that you cannot configure through the web interface. Have you ever used a 3rd party firmware on either of the routers?

  • Unable to access objects in my own schema -- imported from SQL Server

    Hi All,
    I have imported some tables from MS SQL SERVER 2005 to Oracle 9i (9.2.0.1.0) on Windows machine.
    When I fire the query like "SELECT * FROM TAB", I can see the list of all those tables that I have imported, but the problem is that if I try to fetch the data from a specific table, the error is shown as "TABLE OR VIEW DOES NOT EXISTS".
    Can you please suggest me some work around to get the data from the tables?

  • Unable to access DFS shares when server 1 goes down

    Hello all,
    I have a test domain I am building in order to prepare for a new domain we are going to create. We currently have an SBS 2003 that is reaching the end of its' life. We are going to start fresh. I have setup domain-based DFS along with DFS folder replication
    for each of the folders. So far, all is working ok, up to this point.
    Replication is occurring as it should and my Hyper-V test machines can connect to the mapped drives via the DFS namespace.
    \\domain\namespace\target folder
    However, once I shut down the primary server (SRV01) I am no longer able to access the shares. The namespace servers tab on the center window of the namespace MMC, has both SRV01 and 02 listed. I receive no errors except "Unable to connect to \\domain\namespace\target
    folder because it is unavailable". It is not "failing over" to the secondary available server.
    Once I power SRV01 back up, connectivity is then restored to the folders and mapped drives. Is there something I should check for, or am missing?
    Any and all insight is appreciated.
    Dario Garcia

    Hi,
    1. Run DFSUTIL /pktinfo to see if the referral target is still the primary server when it is actually down.
    If so, run DFSUTIL /pktflush to flush the cached information and try to access the namespace again.
    2. If 1 cannot help, whether DNS is also configged on primary server? If so, as it is down,
    \\domain may not be recognized.

  • Window 8.1 system unable to access network shares via VPN connection

    Is there something inherent to Windows 8.1 that prevents it from accessing shares on a domain?
    I know that it cannot join a domain, but does that also mean that it cannot access shares which are on a domain?
    My problem is that I have several user that are running windows 8.1 that are connecting to our network via a VPN.
    The users have domain accounts but their computers as windows 8.1 cannot joined to the domain.
    So to access network shares they have to use their domain credentials to create a VPN connection.
    Once connected the user can RDP to systems on the domain using their domain accounts, so I know that their user names/passwords and permissions are correct. They can access these systems using the computer name, so I don't feel that I have a DNS issue.
    They can see the shares on our file server, but when they try to access their departments shared file, they receive an access denied message. There are a few shares that are completely wide open, shared to all users and all departments but they cannot access
    those shares either.
    You can ping the file server, from the the client when they are connected to the VPN but you just cannot access any of the shares.
    So...
    I am thinking that it has something to do with windows 8.1 and not being able to join a domain, but I cannot find anything to explicitly support this thought.
    Other users running a variety different OS (windows 7, OSX, Linux) can all access the shares without any problems via the VPN, so I am a little stumped.

    I have done some more testing and oddly enough I can map a drive if I use the IPaddress, but not the computer name, when checking the check box "connect using different credentials"and providing they users domain credentials.
    This seems to point to a DNS issue, one would think, but I can hit the file share server by name \\fileserver.dev.lan
    I can see all the shares, so dns seems to be fine right?
    So I don't understand why I can map a drive using do the IPaddress and not the machine name, but yet I can see and ping the server by name?
    When I try to create a mapped drive by machine name I receive the following message:
    Windows cannot access \\fileserver.dev.lan\all
    You do not have permissions to access \\fileserver.dev.lan. contact your network administrator  to request access.
    But if I use the \\x.x.x.x\all using the very same user and password I get connected with no problem.
    This only seems to happen on windows 8.1, which leads me to think that has something to do with OS. 
    I am thinking about upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, but I don't want to go though the hassle and expanse is the OS is not the problem.

  • Unable to access CIFS shares using SSL Web portal

    Hello,
    i have deployed Cisco Clientless Web VPN on my ASA5515.
    I'm having an issue when I try to browse a file server (access CIFS shares) from the WEB VPN portal.   I am prompted for login, and after logging in  I get the "Error contacting host" immediately. it's seem like a bug on ASA ? i saw that on Cisco Web site : bug CSCsl94183
    I already DONE those things :
    1- reload the ASA
    2- upgrade to the latest software release
    3- test different web browser ( Firefox, IE, Chrome)
    1- ASA Platform is 5515 running  latest software release (9.1.4)
    2- File  server running Windows 2008 R2
    3- Clients is using Firefox.
    4- When I establish SSL VPN connection using Cisco AnyConnect I  have no problems accessing files or folders on the same server.
    NOTE :  I have 2 other CIFS server running  Window 2003 and there is no issue.  the issue is happening ONLY  with the server running Window 2008 R2

    I've also seen this exact problem. We have several Windows 2008 R2 servers, one of our Domain controllers has been migrated to 2008 R2. I can access shares on the Windows 2008 R2 domain controller, but not a deicated (member) file share server. 

  • Network Media Player (Noontec V9-T) unable to access network shares on WIN8 Pro

    I have just upgraded from Windows 7 home premium 64 bit to Windows 8 Pro 64 bit. After the upgrade, I made sure my video library was shared (both with the homegroup and my username) and that network discovery was enabled file sharing enabled etc etc.
    On the Noontec Media centre I can see the workgoup called WORKGROUP. When I click on it I can see the name of my PC. But when I click on the pc name to log in to access the shares within it comes up with a username/pass box comes up. I then put in my username/pass
    on the windows 8 pro machine, to which the Noontec receives an error message stating cannot login.
    Previously I had enabled sharing with everyone (read only) on windows 7 home and this username/pass dialog box never appeared. Just said successful logon. So i tried sharing video library with "everyone" in windows 8 pro, the unit still can't log on.
    I believe this noontec uses Samba. The last updated samba file was named "samba_3.0.23c_mipsel.ipk" when I updated the media players samba about 9 months-a year ago. i have checked the manufacturers website, there has been no further updates released.
    Is there a way for me to access network shares from this media centre by maybe installing a new samba server on the windows 8 machine that is compatible with older samba clients? I am not savy with samba clients/servers at all, I just loved the way XP network
    shares always seemed to work across multiple platforms... and win7/8 doesn't. Help anyone?

    A lot of these media players will not work correctly. If your Video files are stored as .avi, MKV, MP4 etc.. pretty much anything excpet for .ISO, the best way is to use Plex media server on the windows 8 PC. It's free and should allow you to organise files
    and libraries as you want.In fact, it's my preferred access method now, as most, smart TVs also support plex and support it well....allowing me to play the files directly in my smart TV, without using the Media players.
    In addition if you have an Android tablet or phone, you can (if you want) access your media files from Plex using Media Monkey (free) and simply play them direct to the TV, Media Monkey simply hands the data stream over to the smart TV.
    I have a similar set of media players and exactly the same problem with windows 8,8.1, previous shares on versions 7, vist etc..work perfectly. I use a free application on my android phone to remote start my media server/s (via the network card).
    Shutter Light - Free monitoring activity and network data, to prevent unwanted sleep during Videos and to ensure the PC goes into sleep mode (disabling windows power management)
    Plex simplifies everything and acts as a great central server for all types of devices and can bring media files together from different Directories/Disks, in to one set of Libraries.

  • Unable to access a share - beachball...

    Colleague has raised an issue - he is unable to access a shared folder on our server.
    He does Command K, enters ip number of server, clicks connect,
    enters name and password
    Gets a window offering volumes to mount - as soon as he clicks on one gets 'beachball of death'...
    I can login from another site using his name and password and sail through to volumes OK...
    He can Ping the server's ip number successfully...
    Any thoughts on reason?
    Any solutions...
    Thanks - he's on 10.4.6 (probably should upgrade to 10.4.11), server is 10.4 os x server

    If you can access the site through www.megaproxy.com/freesurf/ or a similiar web proxy service, then Verizon is giving you access.   The Web Host probably has an out of date filter.
    He can either add your subnet to his network, or you can simply turn off your modem for four hours (there is a lease time on the ip address that doesn't expire for 4 hours) and then turn it back on.   I usually tell folks to do this at night when they go to bed.   Basically just unplug the modem and don't plug it back in until the morning.
    OR if you want it right away, you can try chat support or Call Verizon, and don't bother telling them your problem AT ALL.  just ask for tech support and ask if they can release your IP Address, or break the dhcp lease.
    you should have your modem powered off when they do that, and don't plug it back in for AT LEAST 3 to 5 minutes before plugging it back in. 
    If you plug it in immediately, then you run the risk of that IP address coming right back to you, but if you give it a few minutes, it will most likely go back into the dhcp pool and get assigned to someone else, and you will be in perfect shape to get a new ip address.

  • Wifi printer not visible from wireless devices after becoming a wired printer

    Lexmark S515 printer: Wireless worked fine for about a year, now it doesn't stay connected to my EA-4500 router (I suspect the printer wifi radio is flaking out).
    So I hooked it up via ethernet cable to my EA4500 router.
    Now, I can only access ther printer (static IP: 192.168.1.101) from other wired devices on the EA-4500; can't access it from  wirelessly connected devices.
    Anyone know what I should change to get it to be visible from wired and wireless devices on my home network?

    Try to check what's the IP Addresses of your wireless devices. Powercycle your whole network - unplug for 10 seconds and plug them back again. Start with the modem > router > printer > computers/wireless devices. You can also try connecting your printer directly to your wireless laptop and check if it can detect the printer.

  • Unable to access network shares

    In our enterprise environment we have a home share with approx 20 folders viewable to all staff with different folder accessible to different departments. One of our users has an issue when switching from a wired to wireless network connection

  • Windows machines unable to access smb shares

    I know many people are having problems with smb on osx server, but my issues seems very basic, so I will try to ask for help here.
    Basically, I have set up a single folder for sharing on a Mac Mini running OSX Mountain Lion Server. Directory services are provided by a WIndows 2003 server, and I have joined OSX Server to that, and am able to see all AD users and groups correctly. I have checked the boxes specifying I wish to share as afp, smb and webdav and also made shares accessible to guests.
    Now, if I use a mac client, I can correctly browse the afp and smb shares, and the latter work via finder and smbutil as expected, including access via AD users, connection and file transfer.
    If, instead, I use a windows client (I tried both Win7Pro and WinXP), while being able to ping the osx server machine, if I try to "explore" (entering \\hostname in explorer) the shares I get a "Network error: impossible to access ..." (approximate translation, sorry ). I tried both using the hostname and the ip address, always getting the same result.
    If I try via prompt with "net view \\hostname" I get a System Error 53 (Unable to find network path).
    Does anyone know if I am doing anything wrong?
    Thanks
    Christian

    I have done some further testing, and I can report that occasionally, I am able to connect from a windows 7 professional machine by issuing the following command:
    net use z:\\hostname\share /user:DOMAIN\username
    mostly this command returns a 53 system error, but sometimes I am asked for the user's password and am then able to access the shared folder for a brief time.

  • Unable to access Airpor Express for printing or sound

    I am re-setting up a home network with an Airport Extreme base station and two airport express stations I'm using to expand the network. Though the network is working fine and I am able to set up a printer attached to one of the airport expresses, I am unable to actually print to it. Also, I have speakers connected to the same base station; when I try to play audio from iTunes to that base station, it tries but eventually fails to connect.
    Again, I'm able to see all of the stations in Airport Admin. The only problem I'm experiencing is printing and sound.
    Thanks for any help on this.

    How are your base stations configured?
    My guess is that they're all running NAT and so you effectively have three wireless networks. In this case you will have problems accessing the services attached to a remote base station.
    The solution is to collapse all the base stations into a single, unified network. The specifics on how to do this will depend on what else is on your network and, most importantly, what is handling your external connectivity. If you have a separate router (e.g. cable or DSL) that is at your network edge, then just change all the base stations to be simple wireless bridges (or access points) rather than full routers. In this way you have one big network inside your router that everyone should be able to see fully.
    That is only a guess, though, based on the limited information available, so don't just blindly change the configurations without checking first.

  • Unable to access samba share.

    I'm setting up a ubuntu file server with samba shares and security = user.
    These shares are able to be accessed and work correctly for both linux and windows clients. When I attempt to connect to the shares in OSX I get the usual username/password dialog box, however it doesn't accept the correct credentials.
    I've googled for help for a few hours now, but cannot find anything that helps. I'm guessing its a security setting somewhere in OSX, but I'm not able to find out what.
    Any ideas?

    turns out that I was connecting to it incorrectly.
    correct method is smb:\\workgroup;user@server\share
