WRT54GX2 setup won't recognize PPPoE

Hello, I have a computer (Windows XP) running DSL on PPPoE, no modem, the cable goes straight from the wall to the PC. I have a WRT54GX2 that usually works fine. However, installation of the router fails as of late.
I remember when I started the setup wizard, in the very first steps it would warn me that I was on a PPPoE connection. Installation would go fine and everything worked. Now, when using the setup wizard CD (and the updated version from this site) I don't get a window telling me I am on a PPPoE connection, and somehow I knew the installation would fail. Alas, it did.
So, I downloaded the EasyLink software and when running it I've got a windows telling me I was on a PPPoE connection. Installation went fine. Now I have to reinstall the router again, but I didn't get the PPPoE message when running the EasyLink setup. Installation failed, it won't detect the router. Anybody knows why is this happening?? Why won't the wizard recognize PPPoE?? Thanks.
Why is PPPoE connections so troublesome? argh!

Well try upgrading the firmware of the router & keep on holding tightly
the reset button in such a way that power light is blinking on the
router & then do a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power
cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable
to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug
in the power cable to the router & then try setting up the DSL connection for the router & check out it will definately work!!

Network Setup Assistant won't recognize my password

Hi There,
new to macs, can't get the Network Setup Assistant to recognize the password that I've typed in. I have several other computers attached to the network, but can't get the mac to. I'm flummoxed. Please help.

Hi ddethomas, and a warm welcome to the forums!
What form of encryption does the Router use, WEP, WPA, WPA2?
Sory to see your 1st post got no answers, it helps to bump it with a reply again to bring it to the top again, but it's archined/vlosed now except to you.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't recognize secure home network

Hi, just got an HP Officejet Pro. Setup went great, except for a snafu with our home network: it won't recognize it, even when I manually enter the name and password. It will however recognize our unsecured guest network. I temporarily set it up on that, but I'd rather be using the secured home network. I've run the wizard several times, reset to factory settings, all with the same result. Help?

Hi,
The issue could be due to the the Encryption level used in the router. You can try the solution available here

Driver won't install and setup won't finish on windows 8.1 64bit

Hi
We have a HP PSC 1410 All-In-One installed on an old pc with windows 7 and the printer is working fine but I decided to move the printer and plug it in on my brand new ultra high end gaming pc with win 8.1 64bit on it for obvious reasons, because the pc is alot faster. Pc config: i5 2500k 4GHZ, 16 GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 970 4 GB, you get the picture a very fast gaming pc lol.
I downloaded the proper driver on the hp support website and started the setup and windows doesn't recognize the printer and the driver.
Everytime I uninstall and reinstall the driver I get this error:
It seems to be my even though HP claims that they have windows 8.1 driver support for my printer, it actually doesn't support it. Because I even tried to install it on my HP (the irony lol) laptop with win 8.1 on it and it doesn't work. I get the same problems and errors.
So to recap it: setup won't complete, gives me an error and then uninstalls the software by itself ....
Can anyone confirm that this specific printer model works on win 8.1? If yes, why doesn't it work on both my pc and laptop with win 8.1? Why does it only work on my old pc with win 7?
It's really a shame because the printer (even though it's very old) is still great and I like it, I just wish it would work on my new pc.
If anyone knows how to fix this or with a workaround please do share.
Regards
Elvis

Hiya @Elvis29,
First and foremost, I apologize for the delay, I have been researching what could be causing this issue, and more importantly what we can do to resolve it.
Please complete the following steps and let me know the outcome of your efforts;
Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box, type %temp%
Delete all files and folders from the temp folder. Choose skip if any pop ups appear saying any of the files could not be deleted
I think in order to get the install package to install properly it would be best to unlock the admin account, then try to install again.
Let's begin with a clean boot first; How to perform a clean boot in Windows
How to Unlock Admin Account:
Open an Elevated Command Prompt in Windows 8 & 8.1 (Instructions here)
Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:yes and hit enter
Next, close CMD and restart your computer
When your computer comes on log into the new account that should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
If your computer automatically logs into your account after restart than go to your start menu click the arrow beside 'shutdown' and choose 'switch user'. Now log into the Administrator account we just unlocked
Under the Administrator account download and install the drivers using the Printer Install Wizard.
The Printer Install Wizard will by pass the Windows Installer. This runs its only installer or install shield, which will interact independent of the Windows Installer. This may allow the file that cannot be found, to be found and let the install finish. HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows
The HP Printer Install Wizard for Window was created to help Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 users download and install the latest and most appropriate HP software solution for their HP Printer.
If everything installs fine, log out of this account and back into your normal user account. All the Software and Drivers for your product should show installed now on your account.
If everything works fine, you will want to Hide the Administrator account.
Go to your Start menu and under the 'search programs and files' box type CMD
CMD will populate as a search option above, just right click on it and 'run as administrator'
Once CMD (Command Prompt) opens, type net user administrator /active:no and hit enter
Next, close CMD and restart your computer
Please keep me posted.

Windows - Airport Utility won't recognize Express plugged into Home stereo.

I am trying to set up the express to stream music to home stereo exclusively. I currently have a NETGEAR 108 Mbps (WGT624 v2) router set up on a Windows XP. Airport Utility won't recognize the device. Any ideas on how to make this thing work while keeping existing network? Thanks so much.

Let's double-check your AX's configure to receive audio via AirTunes.
Please reconnect the AX back to the Netgear before running the AirPort Utility.
Ok, compare your settings to the following within the AirPort Utility using Manual Setup:
AirPort > Base Station
o Base Station Name: <rename or leave default>
o Base Station Password: <enter desired password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter desired password>
o Remember this password in my keychain: (optional)
o Set time automatically: (unchecked)
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing Netgear's wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

After OS Upgrade, System Preferences won't recognize audio input/output.

When I got an iPhone, I had to upgrade to OS 10.5.8, as well as upgrade Safari (to 4.0.3) and iTunes (to 9.0.1) for everything to run smoothly, and it does.
However, since I went though the motions last week with these upgrades, System Preferences or Utilities doesn't want to recognize my audio input/output jacks. It won't recognize when I plug in my stereo or my headphones. I hook up my computer to my stereo all the time to listen to music in the living areas of my apartment, and now I can't because it isn't reading the jack.
Any suggestions? How can I get the system to fix this problem?

Check your Audio MIDI Setup settings.

My mac won't recognize an external monitor. The screen Goes Blue Once, then goes blue again and the second monitor just turns off. I am using an HDMI adapter to a visio TV. I also have my xbox on the tv. Can anyone Help??

Lol, figured out the first part. Just for those who may be searching, when you click on the Display Preferences, and click on the arraingment tab... it not only shows where your two screens will be displayed, but the WHITE BAR at the top of one screen is the dock/toolbar. Click and hold to grab this and just slide it over to the screen you'd like it to be on.
You have to release it IN the screen box, not on top of it... and it should pop right over to the new (or old) screen. At any rate, you can put the dock on either (or any) screen that you prefer.
I am thinking of ordering more of these. Lol. 3 monitor setup seems like it would be crazy good.
Still looking for the answer to keeping the new 16" screen on the right without switching between screen #s with that... not expose... Lion feature.
Thanks. Hope my other question has an answer out here.

Final Cut won't recognize video

Hello,
I've been trying to capture some video onto an G5 iMac, OS 10.4.11, but whenever I go to log and capture, FCP won't recognize the video. Occasionally, an image will pop up and then freeze, but most of the time I'm just looking at the "preview disabled" window. The timecode will show up, but it will stick at one number instead of counting upwards when I hit play on the tape.
If I have Video Settings set to firewire and hit capture, I just get the beachball and have to restart the program. If I use "non-controllable device" I'll get a warning message that no video has been detected.
I've tried the very same setup--same scratch disk, same camera, same tape, same settings--using an iBook and it worked just fine. I recently upgraded to FCP 6, however I experienced this problem both before and after I upgraded. Actually, I managed to capture once after my initial upgrade, but then it stopped working again. This is a work computer and I've been told it has captured video in the past, although i've never seen it in action.
My only guess is that this is a hardware problem with the firewire ports? I've tried them both and neither work. If anyone has any other ideas about what the problem would be, I'd love to hear it.
Thanks!

Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac > More Info > FireWire. Do you see your camera listed in System Profiler?
What format are you trying to capture?
Do your Easy Setup and Sequence Settings correspond to the format you are trying to capture?

Vista won't recognize jars

Hi!
I got a new computer with Vista, to which I have installed the latest JRE. The problem is that Vista won't recognize jars as executables, or even a valid file type for that matter. When I try to run a jar I get the regular Windows "Which program would you like to open this file with?"-dialog. When I run the jar from the command line, everything seems to work fine though.
Any ideas?

Uninstalled and reinstalled the new update. I even ran the setup as admin, but no dice. And there's no Java settings in the control panel either.

Help! My computer won't recognize my printer!

I'm a college student, and I have tons of papers and files that I need to print. However, my computer won't recognize my printer. It is working and set up, I plugged it into my roommate's computer (a PC) to see if maybe the USB cable was bad; that wasn't the case.
I've tried to manually add the printer, but I don't have any Printer folder whatsoever in Utilities. If I go into System & Preferences, Printers & Fax, and try to click on the Set Up Printers button, nothing happens. I'm at the end of my ropes. Please help!
Also, the .pdf files for a lecture that I need to print aren't working as well; they worked just fine on my roommate's computer, but when I open them with Preview on my iBook, it is just blank. Does anyone know why this is happening?
Please help me, ASAP! Any advice/anything is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

need more info:
what kind of printer is it?
do have the drivers for it?
do have the printer setup utility?
what version of the OS do you have?
if you have OSX at least, then :
if you can access the utilities folder, you should be able to find the Printer setup Utility. If you do not have that , the n you need to archive and install :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
if you do have the Printer Setup Utility, then
open that up, it will open a window called " Printer List"
click on " Add"
- that will open a window called Printer Browser
- if the printer is plugged in and powered on, you will see the printer name listed there.
- select it , then click on " add " in the bottom right
- if you do not see any printer listed in the printer browser, then try a different usb port and try again.
- if you are able to add the printer, then try a test print, it should work with a default driver.

Log and Transfer: FCE4 won't recognize files from my camera

Hi ...
I have a Sony XHR-NX5U and am capturing video on an optional Sony 128GB hard drive built for this camera. I've shot AVCHD video in both 1080/60i HQ and 1080/60i FX formats, and the camera produces video files in an MTS format (nestled in a series of folders), along with accompanying CPI files (I don't know what these are for).
My FCE4 program doesn't allow me to either import these files or use log/transfer. I've been forced to buy an external program to convert the MTS files into MOV files and then import these (Log and Transfer still won't recognize these MOV files).
What can I do to get FCE4 to recognize and allow the files directly from my camera?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide.
- matt

I see your camera can be switched to record a bunch of ways.
Try this one:
AVCHD FH (17Mbps) 1920x-1080/60i
It should work with Log and Transfer over USB.
Also make sure you start a New Project in FCE with the Easy Setup AVCHD-Apple Intermendaite Codec1920 x 1080i60 selected and active.
Some cameras do not seem to transfer if mixed media is on the card. Try a test with the above media ONLY on the card.

Reader 9 won't recognize printer

I just installed Reader 9 on my system (Vista Home Premium), and now I can't print anything because Reader won't recognize my printer. I get this error message whenever I try to print:
Before you can perform print-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you must first install a printer.
I did not get this kind of behavior from Reader 8, so I must assume there's a major error or bug in the code that's causing this. My printer (an Epson Stylus CX4800) is properly installed and works for all other apps but this one. Has anybody else experienced this on their systems?
I'm using Reader 9.0.0 for Windows Vista with Vista Home Premium (SP1).

No good. Did a nozzle check and head cleaning through printer properties while in Reader, and it still refuses to recognize the printer. Not only that, but for some reason it defaults to XPS Document Writer as the main print option at startup, and I can't change that to stay with the Epson instead. This is very puzzling and rather annoying, since I'm now without a print capability until they decide to do a bugfix update.

IMac won't recognize midi device

IMac won't recognize midi device (Roland Fantom) which is connected via USB only; no midi interface. I have rebooted both the Roland and the iMac, still no go. I have manually added the midi device under Audio Midi setup, still none of my apps will recognize the device; Logic Pro, ProTools and Sibelius. How do I get this configured? I've read through some other posts and nothing has worked.

Its standard for all computers - if you have 3rd party things that do not work - contact that company - they may have a driver for you to download specific for mac.
Some 3rd party things are windows only - probably same for Mac.

Acrobat XI won't recognize scanner

I installed Acrobat XI replacing Acrobat 9 and the program won't recognize my scanner.
Setup: Windows 7 x64, Canon MG6120
All other programs, to include Photoshop, work fine with the scanner. The scanner works in other user profiles (for Acrobat XI) on the computer, but not in my main profile. The scanner is on the list of devices for Acrobat XI, but when asked to scan, the program cannot find the scanner. If I attempt a failed scan, on logout from the user profile I get an error associated with LogTransport2.exe. This error only occurs when Acrobat XI attempts a scan an fails.
I have tried deleting all local app data for Acrobat in the user profile, uninstalled and reinstalled the printer but nothing seems to work. I believe it is a configuration error in the specific user profile, but I cannot find out were the information is stored.
Thanks,

Try logging into your administrative account and see if Adobe Acrobat Pro will communicate with your scanner.
If Adobe Acrobat Pro will communicate with your scanner from the Administrator Account but will not communicate from any other user account. Log in to the account you prefer and perform the following. Adobe says it is not
a bug in Adobe Acrobat Pro, but a Microsoft user profile problem. I disagree because all my programs work except for Adobe Acrobat Pro.
1. Make sure that you have a password for your administrative user account.
2. Elevate and display The Command Prompt as follows:
Start > All Programs > Accessories > Right Click on Command Prompt > Right Click on Run as administrator>
Agree to let program make changes to computer > The command prompt will be open.
The command prompt will display something like; C:\windows\system32
3. Now it's time to run Acrobat Pro as an Administrator. You may have to adjust the following statement to get the correct path to acrobat.exe. Edit the command prompt. Space once after system32 and paste the following and hit enter.
runas/user:administrator "c:\program files (x86)\adobe\acrobat 9.0\acrobat\acrobat.exe"
(do not space after 9.0)
4. Enter the administrator password when asked and hit enter.
5. The program should start.
You may wonder why you didn't just right click on the Acrobat icon on your desktop and run as administrator. The reason is because it doesn't work and this does. I have tested this on Windows 7 Acrobat 9.0 Pro. It's a pain to go through the steps everytime you open Acrobat Pro, but Adobe won't fix this problem. I loaded a trial version of 11.0 and they still haven't fixed the problem so we will just have to use work arounds. I'm not going to hand them another $199 when they refuse to fix the problem that has not been fixed in at least three versions. Another solution is to create a new administrative type user account and move all your data to the new account. No Thank you. Adobe is not on my good list.
