WRT54GS drops connection with Windows Vista

Hello,
Wireless connection drops constantly between Linksys WRT54GS and Windows Vista laptop. It actually connects, but then drops within a minute. Laptop with Windows XP works fine with the same router.
I've changed the channels, advanced settings, updated firmware, changed the router itself. Nothing helped.
Can you advise anything?
Thank you.

I already checked everything in Vista, addition to that i took laptop to a different linksys network and connection is stable. I have a lot of reports from another people i fix computers for and they have same problem with 54GS router. After i replaced linlsys with netgear, problem was resolved. It has to be something with the router.

WRT54G not compatible with Windows Vista?

When I used to have Windows XP I found connecting to the router simple, and reliable. However I just got a new computer with Windows Vista, and for some reason I can't seem to install the router anymore. I tried inserting the Linksys CD and I followed all of the directions and it goes to check the router's status it brings up a page that tells me to right click my internet connections or something and my computer still doesn't find the router but connects to Realtek or something a long those lines. Thanks for any help.

As you have got internet connection on your computer...you can try adjusting the wireless settings on your router...so that other laptops can connect to your router wirelessly....
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bit.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

Time Capsule drops connection with Windows 7 - KNOWN ISSUE

There are several sites posting solutions to this problem (example below).
Solution 1. - revert to older firmware of TC
Solution 2. - change local security policies
ONE PROBLEM THOUGH. I believe ONLY PROFESSIONAL versions of windows have the local policies acceptable. This means all of us using HOME editions are screwed.
*Thread from:*
*http://techsupport.foreverwarm.com/time-capsule-windows*
Windows Vista and Windows 7 cannot see Time Capsule drive
This might be your security settings. Open the Local Security Policy utility:
%windir%\system32\secpol.msc /s
Navigate to Local Policies folder, Security Options view. Find “Network security: LAN Manager authentication level”. If it is set to “Send NTLMv2 response only” change it to “Send LM & NTLM – use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated”.

ONE PROBLEM THOUGH. I believe ONLY PROFESSIONAL versions of windows have the local policies acceptable. This means all of us using HOME editions are screwed.
Home Edition users would have to perform a Registry edit as follows:
1. Open registry editor (ref: Start > Search > Enter: regedit)
2. Browse to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
3. Create a new DWORD value with the following properties: NAME = LmCompatibilityLevel & VALUE = 1
4. Restart your PC and try the connection again...

Oracle8 Database connect with Windows Vista

Hi,
I have a Problem,
we have an older Oracle 8 Database, an my problem is, I want to install an Oracle Client on Windows Vista.
Whitch Client works under Vista and works with Oracle 8???
I hope you can help me.
Greatings from Germany, Thomas

What is Oracle 8 in your case? It ranges from 8.0.x until 8.1.7.4. The same for 10g, that's not a database version,but a marketing label. We have 10.1.x.x to 10.2.0.4 . Message says clearly your combination of 10g client and Oracle 8 database is not supported.

Ad Hoc Connection with Windows Vista

Ok I know that this question has been asked many times over, however I am having trouble finding anything that is similar to my setup. So here we go. I have a laptop that is connected directly to the internet. I am trying to get my iTouch connected to the internet through the ad hoc connection that I have setup. I was able to get it connected for a short amount of time once, but haven't been able to get it connected since. I am not too savy to this whole networking so that is why I am here. Most of the threads I have read are a hard to understand for me. If anyone can help me out I would be greatly appreciated.

Windows Vista

I assume that you want to use your Windows computer as the network source for the iPad to join so read this.

Set up WRT54G V7.0 with windows Vista

I have a WRT54G V7.0 which was working but stopped for no apparrent reason and when I couldn't fix it I RESET it. I have been through the cable setup instructions hundreds of times since without success.
do I have to generate a new WEP key?
Do I have to clone a MAC address.?
In the Router setup Status screen the the IP address is all zeroes (0.0.0.0) even after I click DHCP Release first then click DHCP Renew and then perform a power cycle.
Windows can see the SSID but when the computer tries to connect Wirelessll it says "windows did not receive any response from the wireless router or access point"
I would be most grateful for any suggestions as I have spent many frustrating hours trying to figure this out

Reset the router and reconfigure it .
Before doing the following steps, you have to connect the modem to the
router's Internet Port and the computer to the Ethernet Port Number 1.
1. Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds.
2. Then, unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for
another 30 Seconds.
3. Plug back the power back in, and keep holding down the reset button
for 30 Seconds.
4. Release the reset button.
Access the setup page of the router by launching an
Browser and type on the address bar, 192.168.1.1 and press enter. When
it prompts for the username and password, leave the username field
empty and provide password as "admin" (Without quotes)
click on ok.
On the main setup page the ""Internet Connection Type"" should be
on ""Obtain IP Automatically - DHCP “. Click on the Save Settings
button.
Now click on the sub tab ""MAC address clone"".
- Click on enable
Click Clone & click save settings
Check WAN Ip on Status page of router ....
If getting Valid Ip .... try going online
If not ... power cycle for 4-5 minutes & then again check the WAN Ip address .....

WRT54GS Compatible with Windows Vista?

Does anyone know if the WRT54GS Wireless Router is compatible with Windows Vista? I want to remove the router from a PC running XP and move to one using Vista. If it is compatible, I no longer have the start-up CD-ROM. Can the necessary drivers and firmware be found and downloaded from the Linksys site? Thanks.
Solved!

Vista works with the WRT54GS. You can simply remove the cable from your old computer and connect it to your new computer. If your new computer has a wireless adaptor, you can also connect wirelessly. You would have to log on to your router to find your network key.

Go into Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and make sure that your phone number is checked and iMessage reads as activated. Remove the checkmark from the email address and make sure that only the phone number if checked. It should appear grayed out, but should still have a checkmark. If the phone number does not have a checkmark, then turn off iMessage, wait a few moments and then turn iMessage back on and make sure that it activates.

Database connectivity toolkit problem with WINDOWS VISTA and Microsoft jet 4.0 provider

Hi again,
I'm experiencing a problem with Database connectivity toolkit and Microsoft Jet 4.0 provider (MS ACCESS mdb database).
I was able to get my application to work properly on my PC: WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL, VERSION 2002, SERVICE PACK 3 and Msjet40.dll ver. 4.0.9511.0 (Windows XP SP3 and Security Bullettin MS08-028).
The same connectivity toolkit seems to have problems (although I didn't get any error dialog) on a laptop with WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE, SERVICE PACK 2 and Msjet40.dll ver. 4.0.9755.0.
Does anyone have an idea whether it is a sort of compatibility issue or a different thing?
Would it be possible to include my DLLs into the installer in such a way LabVIEW application calls those DLLs instead of the ones it finds on the host PC?
Thanks a lot. Any suggestion or advice very welcome and appreciated.

I ran into this with Windows7 64 but, could not get the jet 4.0 to work. Endnd up dumping access and used sql server express, its free, and all my code worked fine, just used a different UDL to connect. I wasted lots of time trying to find a way of getting the jet4.0 to work with 64bit windows.

Recognizing an iPod with Windows Vista

I have a new computer that came with Windows Vista. I have not been able to get iTunes to operate correctly for Windows Vista to recognize the USB connection to my iPod. Anyone have a patch or downloadable software suggestion to resolve this?

groans
I finally figured I had nothing to lose--I'd just downloaded a new version of Real Player, which supposedly will work with iPods and Windows Me--and I let my computer format the iPod, hoping that would let it work with Windows again. Apparently not. Now it won't turn on--it's giving me the folder-and-exclamation-point icon. Resetting it didn't help, and I can't restore it because I can't install the software to my computer in the first place.
I suppose the only thing to do is borrow a friend's computer or something.

Ipod Nano won't connect to windows vista

Help Help Help
ive had an ipod nano 3rd gen for xmas and my hewlett packard pc with windows vista operating system wont recognise the ipod thus meaning im sat here wiv a shiny new ipod with absolutely nothing on it SOB SOB

Your speaker has probably auto connected to your phone so the Nano can't see it. Turn off BT on your phone and any other BT devices you've connected with, put the speaker in pairing mode and try again.

HT1339 my ipod shuffle(1st generation) is corrupted (error 1442) it will not restore. is it possible to correct this or is it beyond repair. It worked the last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Vista.

My ipod shuffle (1st generation) will not restore. It says it is corrupted(error 1442) Is it possible to correct this problem, or is it beyond repair. It worked last time I used it on my laptop with Windows Vista. Any help would be much appreciated.

Im actually tilting it up where it cinnects to my iPod, not where it connects to my computer, and i have tried three(yes, 3) different cables, one of which i bought brand new. still nothing, and i've also tried different USB ports on my computer,....nothing. Could this simply be a hardware failure of somekind? maybe a physical problem...i mean, why would i have to tilt the cable in order for my computer to actually read my iPod? im looking at the USB connector on my iPod (maybe it's my imagination, not sure) it possible might be bent, the little metal part in the port.

HT1689 how do i reset my ipod shuffle 2nd generation with windows vista?

my ipod shuffle will not connect to itunes and i am unable to download the ipod reset utility for windows as this does not work with windows vista which i have on my computer. How else can i reset my ipod to allow itunes to recognise it?

Connect it to iTunes on this new Mac and restore it to factory settings. See this article for instructions on restoring your Shuffle.

Hp zv5242qv laptop with windows vista will not run on battery but will run on power adapter

Hello, I have a HP zv5242qv pavilion zv5000 series laptop with windows vista installed. I can run it on the power adapter with and without the battery installed but it will not power up on just the battery, the battery is new and fully charged. When I plug in the power adapter the battery light on the front of the laptop comes o then goes off, anyone have any ideas about my problem ?

Hello,
The situation you describe looks like the unit has problems with the battery, but you say the battery is new and is fully charged.
Then, the issue might be with the system board and maybe there isn't anyhting you can do.
You can try to remove the battery and the ac adapter, and keep the power button pressed for 30 seconds, then connect the ac adapter, turn on the unit, then when in windows put the battery in place, see how it is detected, the power level and restart the PC. See if the unit restarts with the battery in place, if yes, then shutdown the unit.
See what happens and report back.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON
