WRT54GS problems connecting PS3 to PC Vista Basic network to enable Media server access

I have a the above router and a new PS3.  I am trying to connect it to me Windows Vista PC so that I can use WMP11 as a media server.
The PS3 is connector to the router with a wired connection and I have no problems with it connecting to the inter net and a network connection tests pass ok, with NAT = 2.
The Vista PC is connected to the router via wireless.  It coneects to the internet ok.
When I try to view a full network map in the vista PC I cannot see the PS3 nor and unknow devices.  Likewise I cannot see the PS3 or an unknow device when I Select Media Sharing fron the WMP11 option.
Can anyone please help me?
Thanks in advance

Check your Firewall Settings, Did you Enable File and Printer Sharing ?

  • Number of connection allowed in the free developer ediiton of Flash Media Server

    Hi
    I would like to know the number of connection allowed in the free developer ediiton of Flash Media Server
    Regards
    Sunny

    Hi,
    When we say we limit the number of connections to 10 in Flash Media Development Server, we mean that we allow 10 successful connections and reject 11th connection onwards. So at anypoint of time your server can have only 10 active connections. When there are 10 active connections and a 11th client tries to connect to the server, the connection is rejected with reason "NetConnection.Connect.Rejected - [ License.Limit.Exceeded ] : (_defaultRoot_, _defaultVHost_) : Max connections allowed exceeds license limit. " and these details are logged at the server side core.log too

  • Problem connecting MBP to established Linksys wireless network

    just got MBP 2.16 (my first mac!). Having trouble connecting to my established linksys wireless network. I have the BEFW11S4 (V.2) etherfast wireless access point + cable router with 4 port switch. Currently have 128 encryption enabled. The linksys router is broadcasting its ID (I can see "linksys" on my mac) but it seems to not accept the password. I tried entering the 26 WEP key, the passphrase, the WEP key in quotes, the WEP after a $ sign... all to no avail. please APPLE community, help out a mac noobie before i have to turn back to Bill Gates....

    To find the IP address or the status, go to system Preferences then network. It will show you the status of any internet connections. You should see one for Airport, it will either show a green light and say 'Airport is connected to the internet' (or something like that) or a red light and say 'Airport is is active but not connected' (something like that). If you double click on Airport or click 'Configure' you will see tabs, click on TCP/IP and it will show all of your details including your IP address.
    As for the other, it always refers to wireless networks as 'Airport' and that response is the standard response from a Mac.
    the password should be typed in the hex section, not sure about the $ sign. I've never had to do that before. But if you can't connect even with no encription then I would think it is another problem. I would turn off the encription until you can at least get connected and then you can worry about the security afterwards.

  • All 30 minutes my Macs (iMac/Snow Leopard, MacMini/Lion) are loosing the connection to the Windows Servers (2 Networks: Home with Home Server 2011 (Server 2008) and Office with Home Server V1 (Server 2003)).

    Hallo,
    Ich betreibe im Büro und zu Hause jeweils einen Microsoft Home Server. In beiden Netzwerken ist neben diversen Windows Rechnern auch ein Mac vorhanden.
    Die jeweilige "Konfiguration" ist wie folgt:
    - Apple MacMini (Late 2011, als HTPC) mit Lion per Wlan über AVM Fritzbox 7390 an Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
    - Apple iMac (Late 2010, Arbeitsplatzrechner) mit Snow Leopard per Lan über AVM Fritzbox 7270 an Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
    Alle Betriebssysteme sind auf aktuellem Stand.
    Die Fritzboxen laufen mit der jeweils aktuellen Firmware
    Nun zu dem Problem:
    Beide Macs unterbrechen ca. alle 30 min den Kontakt zum Server. Die Verbindung wird zwar ca. 1-2 Minute später wieder aufgebaut, aber am MacMini (HTPC) macht sich dadurch bemerkbar, daß der Film oder die Musik für obige Zeitspanne stoppt und danach weiterläuft. Beim iMac (Arbeitsrechner) kann ein zuvor vom Server geladenes Dokument dann nicht mehr gespeichert oder gedruckt werden.
    Der MacMini hat dieses Phänomen direkt bei der Verbindung mit dem WHS gezeigt. Der iMac hat jedoch zuvor ca. 1,5 Jahre ohne Probleme funktioniert. Dieses Problem tritt bei dem iMac (Snow Leopard) erst seit ca. 6-9 Monate auf.
    Da unterschiedliche WHS und OS X Versionen betroffen sind und auch unterschiedliche Fritzboxen verwendet werden und scheint ein allgemeines Problem im Zusammenspiel Windows/OS X vorzuliegen.
    Bei dem iMac fällt der genaue Zeitpunkt der Verbindungsunterbrechung nicht auf.
    Bei dem MacMini läßt sich der Zeitpunkt dagegen relativ leicht bestimmen. Aus der Ereignisanzeige beim Windows Server ergibt sich leider kein eindeutiges Fehlerbild. Zu dem jeweiligen Zeitpunkt taucht aber relativ oft, aber nicht immer (!), in "Windows-Protokolle Sicherheit" der Fehler 4625 ("Fehler beim Anmelden eines Kontos") auf. Dies würde auf eine Rechteproblematik hindeuten. Das Konto des Mac kann aber alles was ihm auf dem WHS erlaubt ist.
    Beim Suchen nach einer Lösung (bisher leider erfolglos) bin ich u.a. auch über das Problem des Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) beim Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials gestolpert (auch alle 30 min!). Vielleicht ein Zusammenhang?
    Hello,
    I run the office and at home each a Microsoft Home Server. In both networks, in addition to various Windows computers, a Mac is available.
    The particular "configuration" is as follows:
    - Apple MacMini (Late 2011, as HTPC) with Lion via wifi via AVM Fritzbox 7390 to Microsoft Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008).
    - Apple iMac (Late 2010, desktop PC) with Snow Leopard by Lan on AVM Fritzbox 7270 on Microsoft Windows Home Server V1 (Windows Server 2003)
    All operating systems on current conditions with all patches and updates.
    The Fritz boxes running with the latest firmware
    Now to the problem:
    Both Macs are loosing every 30 minutes the contact to the server. The connection is "re-"established about 1-2 minutes later. On MacMini (HTPC), the film or music is stopped for the above period. Thereafter, the film / music goes on. With the iMac (workstation) a document loaded from the server can no longer be saved or printed.
    The MacMini has shown this phenomenon directly in connection with the WHS. However, the iMac has been working about 1.5 years with no problems. This problem only occurs for about 6-9 months
    Because of different WHS and OS X versions are affected and also different Fritz boxes are used and it seems to be a general problem in the interplay Windows / OS X to be present.
    When the iMac is the exact date of disconnection does not occur.
    With the Mac Mini, the time can however be determined relatively easily. From the Event Viewer on Windows Server is unfortunately no clear error image. At the particular time but appeared relatively often, but not always (!) In Windows Security Logs the error 4625 (Failed to log on an account) on. This would indicate a rights issue.
    Searching for a solution (so far unsuccessfully, unfortunately), I stumbled over the problem of the Server Infrastructure License Services (silsvc) in Windows Small Business Server 2011 Essentials (every 30 min!). Maybe a connection?

    Hi, and thank you for your reply!
    My reason for not posting this in the server forum is that I suspect it is a clien issue. All my other clients connect happily to the server which leads me to believe the server is configured correctly.
    Only my the two MacBook Pro's are having problems.

  • WRT54GS problem connecting labtop /ps3 to router

    I have the above router and can connect to the internet fine with it.  However nothing else can connect to the network.  I have everything open
    This is the problem

    My son came down and attempted to connect to the internet with his labtop although it can find the wireless router it will not connect to the network.  All codes and passwords have been used.
    Iam new at thins and do not understand networking at all.
    Please can some help me with simple instructions

  • WRT54G Problem Connecting Wirelessly to Windows 7 Computer

    I can connect to the WRT54G router with an Ethernet cable on a computer with Windows 7.  I have done all the basic things or at least most of them.  I can ping the router successfully wirelessly.  My router is old with firmware 1.02.5.  I use Linkysy EasyLink Advisor.  I suspect EasyLink  won't work for Windows 7.  I have tried to connect manually but when I put the encryption key in it says it is not valid.  I am using 128 bit WEP.  Help

    I'd suggest you change your encryption to WPA or WPA2 because WEP is insecure, can be easily cracked. Here's the procedure.

  • WRT54G Problem Connecting

    Recently tried to change security from WEP to WPA. Also tried to disable SSID visibility so that others can't choose and use my network connection. Now I can't acquire a wireless network connection. Do I need to uninstall and re-install setup all over again. Here's additional information: WRT54G is version 6. I have Windows XP Home edition. I changed login information from factory defaults.

    Don't mess with uninstalling and reinstalling setup.
    Make sure your network has a unique SSID.  Do not use "linksys".
    Set your "SSID broadcast" back to "enabled".  You do not need to worry about broadcasting your SSID when you are using WPA encryption.  Many computers have trouble connecting to the router when SSID broadcast is disabled.
    In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your computer software firewall, and see if that helps.
    If you still have trouble, then state what kind of WPA is the router set to:
    WPA with TKIP?
    WPA with AES?
    WPA enterprise?  (you should not be using this.  Choose WPA-personal instead.)
    If you are using "WPA with AES", this equals WPA2.   To use this, Windows XP requires a patch.  You can get the patch by upgrading Windows XP to SP3.
    If you still have trouble, do the following:
    In the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use.  Delete your current network (this will remove any old settings).  Reboot computer.  Return to "Preferred Networks" and re-enter your current network info (SSID, encryption (if any), and key (if any) ). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings".  Reboot computer.  Your computer should connect automatically to the router (it may take 1-2 minutes).  If not, be sure to temporarily turn off your computer software firewall, then try again to connect.
    If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.

  • Problems connecting to a D-link wireless network

    I have an airport express and cannot connect it to my d-link wireless network to stream radio via itunes to by hi-fi. Can anybody help?

    I'm having problems with my D-link home network too - not sure if they're the same though:
    I've got an existing wireless network, it's set to channel 6 with WEP on a D-link. I've configured the airport to join that network and share the internet connection. The connection has worked and I can get online, however music streams only very sporadically to my stereo (i get random bursts of sound for about 2-5 seconds at best).
    Any ideas on what I should be doing or why this is happening?

  • Problem connecting MBP to established Linksys wireless network (Part 2)

    Thanks to all who followed part 1 thread. I have been trying to wirelessly connect my new MBP 2.16 to my established linksys BEFWS11S4 network. I gave up on 128 encryption for now, MBP couldn't take it.
    by playing with the setting and manual config I can get the MBP to connect to the linksys network, (I even see the mac on my Win XP's DHCP master table). In the network utilities I get a green status light. when i run diagnostics i get a green airport, airport settings, network settings and ISP. STill red are "internet" and "server". no conncetion with safari...
    I know the MBP works becuase i was able to connect to my neigbors wireless network and will work when I hard wire it through built-in ethernet.
    Anyone know why the airport wouldn't work here? any thoughts appreciated I have spent way to many hours on this......

    OK so your router is issuing IP addresses. However, I would say there is definately something wrong with your router's config. Maybe your DHCP server on your router is switched off? Anyway by adding your own IP address that is half the battle, as you need more than an IP address to connect to the internet, that's why you can see it in the list but cannot connect to the net. When a computer is set to DHCP it sends out a message to any DHCP servers requesting an IP address, if it gets no response in a set time, it issues itself an address, like yours is doing, the address will probably look like this: 169.254.14.192, it's called an APIPA address (Automatic Private IP Addressing)
    You see a router uses a NAT (network address translation) so that from the internet all the machines connected to your router would show the same IP address which would be the one supplied by your ISP. For this to work, each machine on your network needs to have a default gateway, which is the IP address that your outbound traffic goes to. If your router is not issuing an IP address then it's probable that it's not issuing this data also, so you can add it yourself.
    On your windows machine, go to a command prompt Start>Run type cmd and press enter, then type ipconfig /all press enter, it will show you the IP address of your PC, your subnet mask and your default gateway. I am going to assume that your IP address is in the 192 range as most Linksys are. So let's say your IP address of your router is 192.168.1.1 (on the new ones they tend to go with 192.168.1.15) so whichever yours is, that is your default gateway, as that's the address of your router. So your PC may have 192.168.1.100 as it's IP address.
    On your Mac go to the System preferences>Network and the TCP/IP tab and select manual setup in Airport. Type in an IP address like 192.168.1.101 (or one up from your PCs IP address, then type in the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 if that is the same as your PC and then where it says Router (this is the default gateway address on a Mac), type in the default gateway here. Select apply and that should now connect to the internet.
    I would only use this until you can resolve your Router's issue. Maybe you can call them back and tell them your router is not issing IP addresses. Or get a friend to try his laptop and see if he gets one. If not then you know it's your router. I would bet money that it's your router, that's why you can connect to your neighbours but not yours. Also remember if you keep the manual setup if you go travelling, remember to change it back to DHCP or you wont be able to pick up any hotspots. You can save a TCP/IP setup on a Mac so you could save the setup and name it and when you go travelling change to default, or auto.
    Let me know how you get on.

  • 2005 Mac Mini, can this connect this wirelessly to my home network as an iTunes server

    I have acquired a 2005 Mac Mini which appears to need direct cable connection to my router to access the internet.  Is there a way around this that  I can modify to access my home network wirelessly so I can use this as a stable location for my itunes library rather than my macbook pro.  The Mac mini is located in a room upstairs but my router is situated in the lounge alongside my Apple TV.  I want to try and get the mac mini to be the storage location for itunes that my apple tv will use.
    Would the addition of an airport express or the like be a solution or am I barking up the wrong tree.  Due to the age, is it likely that the mac mini can be used as a mini desktop only rather than as a file server?
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, as you have probably gathered, I am an apple novice

    Per this
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Mini
    an internal wifi card was optional.
    You need a USN wifi stict that is compatible with your Mac. This one shuld work

    It says:
    Supports Windows , ME, 2000, XP, vista , windows 7,MAC OS 10.X, Linux
    Just mak sure that what yo get works with OSX 10.4.11 or 10.5.8. Your G4 Mini can only go to 10.5.8

  • PowerLED/IR Receiver problem--connection?

    As you might have read in my earlier posting, I am having problems with my macbook, I think it may be an IR problem; I've tried all the basic stuff (re-enabling IR in security pref and testing the battery--it's brand new)...my main concern is also the power light, when the computer is in sleep, it stays on (does not pulse) when the screen is on and the system fully working the light also stays on..... surely this means something?
    Is there a connection between the IR system and the power led system?

    Took it in finally, they replaced he bottom cover free of charge.

  • After Installing Application Server - Problem connecting to my Databases

    I have 10g installed on my Windows server, and have no problems connecting to my database(s). After I install Application Server 10g, I am no longer able to connect to any of them, as if the TNSNAMES.ORA file is no longer configured correctly. I am training myself on these applications. Anyone have any suggestions what is happening behind the scenes?
    Thank you,
    Daniel Nadler

    After deploying a jsf application via the web interface of the application server enterprise manager I tried to connect to the 10g database - and it failed with the same error as yesterday?
    I really don't unterstand what is going on. I would really appreciate it if someone could point me out where to start digging for a solution / unterstanding of the problem.
    Quoting this thread (installing db on same server as AS): 10gAS and Database Server on the same machine
    >
    Yes, you can do this. Here are some guidelines:
    (1) Make sure your system requirements are sufficient to handle the application server and the database. The recommendation is to add the AS system requirements and the DB system requirements together.
    (2) Install each product into its own Oracle home. For example:
    - Oracle Home 1: AS Mid-tier
    - Oracle Home 2: AS Infrastructure (including Metadata Repository)
    - Oracle Home 3: Database
    (3) If your AS installation includes a Metadata Repository, make sure that the
    Metadata Repository and the database use a different SID and global db name.
    (4) It is possible that the Metadata Repository and the database can share
    port 1521. Review this information before you start your AS installation:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/win.1012/install.1012/install/reqs.htm#CIHEBFDG
    The installation guide under (4) tells me that I don't have to worry since I use a new listener version.
    To complete the confusion: on my virtual test machine oracle 10g and oracle AS 10g work fine side by side?? Perhaps because I did a Standard Edition install of the database (on the real machine I used Enterprise Edition)? Is there a way to figure out what kind of install I did?
    Lots of questions, any help or links are really appreciated! Thanks in advance!
    ------------------ EDIT -------------------
    Whoops, I might had a problem with a not correctly shut down database (just shutted windows down without killing the instance - didn't know this wasn't ok). Still evaluating the issue. But to say the least, it seems the application server has nothing to do with my problem :)

  • PS3 cannot find Media Server on Wired PC

    I recently switched from TWC internet using a lynksys wireless router to FIOs internet with an Actiontec MI 424 Rev I router with the latest firmware.  Now my PS3 using a wireless connection can no longer find or link to the media server (WMP 12) on my windows 7 desktop PC, which is linked via Ethernet cable to the Actiontec router.  My desktop WP 12 is set as before my switch to FIOs to “automatically allow devices to play my media” and under “more streaming options” set to show “devices on all networks” an “unknown” devise (with same MAC address as PS3) is listed and allowed.  Same settings show in the “Network and Sharing Center” on my desktop PC.
    My PS3 can access the internet using the Actiontec router but not the media server on the desktop PC.
    However, my PS3 can link to the Media Server (also WMP 12) on my wireless windows 7 laptop. 
    But, when I connect my laptop via Ethernet to the router the PS3 loses and can no longer find the WMP 12 media server on my laptop until I return the laptop to a wireless set up.  So the problem appears to be with an Ethernet Wired connection to router.
    I tried one proposed solution by finding and disabling the IGNP proxy on the Actiontec (page=6059) which worked for some with a similar problem who were using apple products.  I rebooted the router, PC and PS3 and still cannot see or connect with the media server on the wired desktop.
    Called Verizon support who put me in contact with a tech at Actiontec.  The Actiontec tech. asked about  some of my settings and said it could be a faulty router and I should ask VZ for an exchange.  I would rather check for another solution before I ask for a replacement.
    Any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Gave up on linking PS3 to WMP 12 on wired PC for now and dowloaded PS3MediaPlayer on wired PC.  Initially gave me no renderer found error and my wired desktop did not show up on wireless PS3.  But after I disable IGNP Proxy and Norton Firewall - it appears and i can link.  Best part is that I can go directly to my itunes music folders which I could not do with WMP 12. 
    So a problem I could not solve led me to a product I prefer and would not have tried.  Good start to a new year.
    Now I would like to find how to connect w/o disabling my Norton firewall.  But that is a less important issue.  I expect its some port forwarding setting that is beyond my knowledge.
