WRT54GS V6 access question.

Just set up the network.
WRT54GS with a Wireless-G USB adapter
2nd pc is linked and working great!
Question is: How do I access the 2nd pc from the 1st pc?
I click on my computer > network places > view computer work groups.
When I click on the 2nd pc it ask for a password. Where would I find the password to access the 2nd pc? I checked the Easylink advisor but can't find anything.
Anyone know? I would like to transfer files from one pc to the other.

Hi… This is the login password for you PC and nothing do with your router or adapter. If you have setup any account on this computer such as administrator or any other, you can provide login credentials for the same and access the shared resources on that PC.

  • Make WRT54G an Access Point Only

    I need to make my WRT54G an access point only. I tried information contained on Linksys site, but I can't seem to get it to work.
    I can access my wireless router and disable DHCP fine. But when I try to change the wireless routers IP, I'm instructed to refresh/renew. Once that's done, I can no longer access the router at the old or new address.
    My Netgear wired router has a range of 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.50.
    I changed the WRT54G to 192.168.0.49, but I can't access it.
    I should note that my Netgear wired router already has a Cisco router attached to it for home access to my company via VPN and VOIP. Also, the wireless router is connected to the Netgear router via a linksys switch, but I don't think any of that should really matter ....

  • WRT54G v8 Access Restrictions

    This should be an easy question...
    What Access Policies do I need to enter so that the Internet can only be used from 5am-11pm.  I have selected the MAC address the policies apply to and everything.
    I tried entering one policy that specified Enable 5:00 AM - 11:00 PM, but it worked intermittently.
    Then I tried to enter policies to:
    Disable 12:00 AM - 5:00 AM
    Disable 11:00 PM - 12:00 AM
    But it wouldn't let me enter 12:00 AM for midnight.
    I got different answers for the live chat both times I contacted them...
    What is the right way to do it?
    Dave
    Linksys WRT54G v8.0

    Yesterday I set it to:
    Disable 12:00 am - 5:00 am
    Disable 11:00 pm - 11:55 pm  (you can't set 11:59)
    Today I tried to get on a few minutes ago (noon) and couldn't.
    I deleted the policies, and here I am.
    Has anyone been successful in getting these policies to work????
    What's the trick...

  • Port forwarding / PPPoE setup / WRT54GS as access point

    Hi,
     i have 3 questions as u can understand from the subject
    First's lets make a rough sketch of the net topology
    Internet --------  DSL Modem ------- WRT54GS  >>>> 2 wireless laptops
                                                                   |
                                                                   |
                                                                   |
                                                        Wired Desktop PC
    My DLS Modem is a Siemens Speedstream4200 connected to WRT54GS using an Ethernet cable. WRT54GS is v7.0 using firmaware v7.50.0. The 2 laptops run Vista Home Premium and my Wired Desktop Windows XP Pro.
    So, now to the questions:
    A. I tried using PPPoE in the Internet connection box of the WRT54GS, i supplied the username and pasword of my ISP but i couldn't establish an internet conection. Of course i didn't turn off the modem, router and pc as pointed out in topic with AnwerId = 2210 which i found today, will do that tonight, so hopefully there will not be a problem. I just switched from DHCP to PPPoE.... so, there might not be a prob after all... (is turning on and off the hardware that substancial ? )
    B. I am currently using DHCP as the preferred Internet connetion type. I tried to forward a port to use with uTorrent. I gave my desktop pc a static IP (192.168.1.199), forwarded the port to the corresponding area of the router's page (port 59876, both protocols, enable) and unchecked the Block anonymous requests. Had no luck . Thing is that i am not sure about the TCP/IP settings i have used...
    Static IP :               192.168.1.199
    Subnet   :               255.255.255.255 (default value)
    Default Gateway :  192.168.1.1  (the router's IP)
    Preffered DNS    :  62.178.90.17
    Secondary DNS :   62.178.90.18 
    The DNS's are the ones that my ISP gave me. Are these the ones that i am supposed to use here or should i use my routers IP as a DSN? (my DSL modem is accessed in the network at http://192.168.254.254)
    C. I have also a second WRT (currently not connected) and i want to use it as an access point (extending the range of my network in a building)
    I am thinking of something like the following
    Internet --------  DSL Modem ------- WRT54GS  >>>> 1 wireless laptops (floor 2)
                                                                   |
                                                                   |   (this is an ethernet cable)
                                                                   |
                  (this is an access point)   WRT54GS >>>> 1 wireless laptop (floor 0) 
                                                                   |
                                                                   |
                                                        Wired Desktop PC
    What do i have to do ? connect the 2 WRT54GS, make sure that both WRT54GS have the same SSID and use different channels? What about port forwarding ? i guess i will have to forward the IP of the access point to the router and the IP of my PC to the access point ? ? ?
    Well, thx at least for your time to read my email
    theodore

    A. If you cannot set PPPoE on the WRT although it is supposed to be required for your DSL connection then probably the SpeedStream is operating as router as well. That's why you can use internet connection type DHCP. You should post the full information on the Status tab of the router. It will show how you are connected to the SpeedStream and whether it is a router or not. Otherwise you could also do this test. If both IP addresses are not identical then you have a router/modem. You should consider putting the SpeedStream into "bridge" mode. In bridge mode it operates like any normal modem. Then you should be able to configure the PPPoE connection on the WRT.
    B. Obviously, if your modem is also operating as gateway router port forwardings won't work unless you configure port forwardings on the modem/router as well. The modem/router is the device with the public IP address. You have to forward ports from the Speedstream to the WRT WAN IP and on the WRT to the computer in question. You should assign a static IP address in the internet connection settings of the WRT (for similar reasons like for the computer). As this is complicated this would be another good reason to put the modem into bridge mode. Then the WRT is connected to the internet and you only have to configured port forwardings on the WRT.
    C. See here. For a roaming network wireless settings on both WRTs must be identical except for the channel numbers. If you set up the second router like suggested there is no port forwarding on the second WRT.

  • Expanding network with TC and access question

    Hi All
    I need to look at a new external hard disk since my current 160gb is just getting too full, so I figured it might be time to get a Time Capsule, probably the 1tb.
    I've got two questions before I do..
    1. Currently I have Sky Broadband. I've read a lot of people saying that it is not possible to make TC part of the existing network through wifi so have to connect. If thats the case I'm probably better off with standard network drive. Has anyone managed to do this yet? Im wondering if the reviews I've read are just that people couldn't work it out?
    2. I assume this is the case, but can I access the HD as a standard network drive for general storage? Is it possible to define how much space Time Machine can use say 500gb, and leave 500gb for general usage?
    Many thanks for any answers

    The issue I have is that Sky Broadband forces you to use their router for broadband access. They hide the user name and password on a chip so it is not possible to configure.
    Besides my phone is downstairs and my printer is upstairs in the little office. My plan was to have TC upstairs, with printer connected. Have both the TC and Sky Broadband router all part of the same network.
    Then I'd use a cable to do the first backup and use wireless for incremental backups.
    It does look as though I can't use this configuration. But its a bit strange, I thought it was part of standard wireless networks that you could use access points to extend them. I assume then that apple are not using all of the standards?
    If that is the case, I'd have to plug it into my router as a wired option, in which case any external HD with a network interface will do half the job I need.
    I'm just trying to find out if anyone has managed to get it extended from sky (or other router). Note I can change my sky router settings so in theory could change the sky one to use the apple settings, does that make a difference? Anyone had success that way?

  • WRT54G as access point

    Hey there first post I have a wrt54g wireless router all firmware is up to date I also have the befsr41 just a regular wired router I've had it set up where the wired router is getting the dhcp and connecting to my wired computer and xbox I have a ethernet cable going from the wired router to port 4 in my wireless router with the router dhcp server set to disabled. this made it work great as an access point until now. At this point I have my wired computer wired right into port 3 of the wireless router and is connecting great however the ever important wireless function of the wireless router is now not working i've updated the firmware and tried resetting to factory settings and everything but it will still only work through the wired ports. My wireless laptop says that it is connected to the wireless network but it says "local only". now i've tried (in cmd) to ping the router wirelessly and it keeps saying transmit failed, error code 1231. does anyone have any suggestions? has the wireless portion of my wireless router failed? thanks =-eric-=

    Use static/ Manaul Ip address on wireless networkconnection.....
    Use Ip address .... subnet mask & DNS numbers ....
    Reboot the computers & see if it works ....

  • WRT54GS as Access Point

    Is there a way to set up the WRT54GS as an access point for the WRT300N? I just recently purchased the WRT300N and I was looking to extend my signal without purchasing the wireless repeater. Can anyone help with this?

    no...the linksys routers would only work as wireless access points and not repeaters / bridge

  • WRT54G as Access Point & Intermittent Connectivity

    So I followed the advice found here
    http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=26177
    Hooking up a wired router to my WRT54G Router, which I am trying to use as an access point. I've set my LAN IP to 192.168.1.2, disabled DHCP, cables plugged into LAN ports, not the WAN port.I also changed it to Router Mode instead of gateway mode.
    The problem is my wired router is my landlord's, and I don't have access to it. Anyway, I can usually connect, but sometimes it disconnects repeatedly, and it seems like i can't keep a connection for more than 5 minutes.
    The problem doesn't seem to nearly as bad when I'm plugged directly into the wall (but there have been a couple times when I've gotten disconnected).
    My theory is that I may be getting something mixed up with regards to my assigned IP address. When I'm plugged in i'm 192.168.1.108, but when I connect to the wireless, i'm almost always 192.168.1.100, even though there's only one DHCP server on the network. (this is just a guess, though)
    Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

    I've updated the router's firmware I forgot to mention that in the original post. Are you sure regarding the "gateway mode", the little help blurb on the routers settings says that gateway should only be used when the router is the part of the network that deals directly with the wider internet. I am pretty sure I've tried it in both modes and was having this problem, because it was definately Gateway

  • DVD @ access questions?

    I am putting together a short promo DVD for a client and I have a catalogue of their products as an image on the DVD that you can access via the main menu. What I want to do is have it so the products are 'clickable' and will take the user [when online] to the clients web site. I did a search but I cant find out how to link this page to the DVD access settings in the inspector. Any help? Also, can you link a button to open up and email application so the user can email direct from watching this DVD? Questions questions questions....thanks in advance. Oh, Im on DVDSP2.

    DVD@ccess is actually quite limited and not entirely compatible with the range of DVD playback software/hardware available on a PC... you might be better off using eDVD from Sonic (which is PC software, making use of the Interactual Player, rather than @ccess).
    However, @ccess links are embedded in to a menu - so any button you have got needs to go to a menu that simply has the @ccess URL embedded and the menu needs to time out to return to where the button was. For launching a web site simply use the standard URL for the site, include the http:// info in that.
    Now, sending an email is not going to work all of the time, but you can try it out and see if it has the functionality you want. The URL to place into the menu for DVD@ccess is the HTML 'mailto' code. simply write:
    mailto:[email protected], replacing name, domain and .com with the revelant info. If you have got the @ccess links enabled on your Mac, try simulating the menu with this in it... you should see Mail launch (it takes a moment for it to appear, but should work). Whether or not this will work on a PC with Outlook I don't know...

  • WRT54G Limited Access in Vista

    I have an XP and a Vista machine on my wireless network. The Vista computer keeps going into limited Access Connection after it is on for a while. The XP machine never looses connection. To connect again all I have to do is disconnect from the network then reconnect and it works fine, but I hate having to do that all the time. My cousin with Vista and a WRT54G router has this same problem also.

    Update firmware, perform hard reset. Set all settings again. Change wireless channel to 1,6,9,11 and check which is best for you. Change advanced wireless settings : change beacon interval to 50, fragmentation threshold to 2306, RTS threshold to 2307, DTIM to 2

  • WRT54G Scheduled access restrictions

    Sorry if it's a duplicate but I didn't find an answer.
    I have WRT54G  Firmware 1.02.8; PCs- windows different versions.
    I want to block some sites on weekdays 3-8 pm.
    I setup policy 1 "Allow all" which allows full access alwais, for everybody
    then Policy 2 "No youtube"; List of PCs: set; Allow; Days: Mon-Fr; Times: 3pm-8pm; Website blocking: www.youtube.com
    policy 10 "Allow all"  full access alwais, for everybody
    Within that time window 3pm-8pm it works as expected: ypoutube gets "Connection was reset", other sites are fine.
    however outside of that time nobody can access ANY web sites getting timeouts.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply.
    Unfortunately no luck   No access outside the window.
    It looks like it is taking most restrictive policy possible and since there is policy exists and nothing is saying access allowed outside my window it is blocking me.
    Any ideas of workaround?
    Thanks.

  • File Access questions

    2 questions
    1.) I can't edit files from the portal, I can only view them, is this normal?
    2.) Can I view files on my smart phone? I've seen this work for SBS so I'm wondering if there is a way to do it here?
    Thanks!

    "Users" allows you to set up custom access permissions for users or groups you specify.
    For example, for some file:
    User: me - Read & Write
    User: mywife - Read only
    Others: No Access
    You can write to the file. Your wife can open it but not edit it. Your kids cannot access it.

  • Newbie Database Access Question

    I am familiar with SQL and database access from web programming, but have never done these things from within a Java application. My google searching has been fruitless thus far, so I'd appreciate any references to beginner's guides about how to query databases from a Java app and manipulate the resulting recordsets. Anything on Access db's would be ideal.
    TIA,
    John

    Thanks for the reference. I have a question about this section of the tutorial:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/basics/connecting.html
    Under the section "Loading the Drivers" is the following paragraph:
    Loading the driver or drivers you want to use is very simple and involves just one line of code. If, for example, you want to use the JDBC-ODBC Bridge driver, the following code will load it:
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
    Your driver documentation will give you the class name to use. For instance, if the class name is jdbc.DriverXYZ , you would load the driver with the following line of code:
    Class.forName("jdbc.DriverXYZ");My question is: How do I decide which driver I need for connecting to an Access db on a Win XP machine? Is there perhaps another reference which answers these kinds of questions?
    Thanks again,
