WRT610N Wired Connection Not Working; Wireless is Fine

We've had our WRT610N router for about a year, and we've been able to connect via wired and wireless connections without any problem. As of last night, the wired connections are no longer working. We unplugged the cable modem and router numerous times to try and get it to work, but the wired connection is still out.
One item of note, we had a lightning strike a tree in our backyard late yesterday afternoon. I'm not sure how this could possibly have any bearing, but I thought I would mention it.

I've heard a lot of that story, thunderstorms ruining the router configuration. I'd suggest you reset the router to defaults and give it a try. Though it would also reset the settings you have set in there.

[Solved] Wired connection ok but wireless problem on Intel 5100

Here is how i solved the problem :
1 - get back to the wiki doing everything in order
2 - added dbus in attition to hal in the deamon line in rc.conf
3 - put wicd at the end of the deamon line
4 - then configured wicd for my wireless network at boot : no more dbus error, and connection perfectly ok
Thx very much for the superb wiki, certainly my fault if i messed up but i still have to learn
Hi
I've got a problem with the wireless connection on my toshiba R10
my wired connection is working flawlessly but i can't use my wifi card. I'm using arch 2009.8 i686
Here is what i've done following the wiki :
1 : installed ifplugd for the RJ45 connection + added the deamon on my rc.conf
2 : installed wireless-tools
3 : installed the driver intel 5100
# pacman -S iwlwifi-5000-ucode
set up my mod_autolog yes
here is my ifconfig -a

thank you very much

Stab in the dark...the hal daemon should start dbus, but sometimes I've been encouraged to add the dbus DAEMON explicitly (before hal).
I don't really understand dbus too intimately, but I've come across situations where although dbus is running, I can't talk to it because the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_{ADDRESS,PID,WINDOWID} variables weren't visible in the environment I was working in. For instance, if dbus is started by xinitrc, and then some system-level daemon tries to talk to dbus, usually it fails for me, and I have to use some workaround.
Now I would expect wicd to be set up so that the ordinary user doesn't encounter any problems of this sort. On the other hand, the error you're getting does say that it's dbus communication which is failing. Perhaps you could try shutting down hald and dbus, open a terminal, su -, /etc/rc.d/dbus start, and then try from that command line to tell wicd to connect?

Camera connection not working with my camera

Camera connect not working with my Sony boggie camera

The Bloggie will not work because it draws too much power from the USB port on the iPad. The solution is to interpose a powered USB hub between the Bloggie and the iPad - connect the Bloggie to the powered hub, then connect the hub to the ipad accessory. Works fine with my 3D Bloggie.

X-Fi Titanium PCI Express front pannel connection not working

<font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">I can not get any signal to or from the front pannel connector of my X-Fi Titanium PCI Express. (The rear jacks are working fine.)
<font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">The front header cable from my Antec P-80B worked perfectly with my onboard motherboard sound. Now that I have it connected to my X-Fi I get nothing from the jacks on the front of my case. (The onboard sound is disabled in my BIOS.)? I've double and tripple checked the connection and it is properly keyed and fitted. Is there a step or a setting that I'm missing somewhere to get this working? Can anyone confirm that the front pannel connection is acti've on the X-Fi Titanium PCI Express?

Re: X-Fi Titanium PCI Express front pannel connection not working? I was truly hoping that would help and I wanted to give you some additional hope. I have a coolermaster case, and it has the AC97 jack on the inside with all my other other front panel connectors for hard dri've activity light, reset, and power on. Three inches down from the AC97 jack, the INTEL HD *which works beautifully with the X-FI, only differs by three wires in different locations and the two pinouts configurations match those of the INTEL site identically.
Please tell me what happens as I would like to post a step by step guide for the others here in the forum. You will know when you have successfully adapted the connector because in VISTA and Windows 7, your sound applet in control panel will have a display of the connectors "lit up" when they are successfully connected. Mine shows FP microphone in the applet when its plugged in, and grayed out when its not. Its great for telling if I am connected on the rear of the soundcard of the front.
Best of luck and .......

Wireless connection not working after installed newest Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update programs

Hi, everyone!
I've installed some newest programs through Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update and just after that my wireless connection has stopped working. Here are the installed programs:
ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 32-bit version 15.0.24.0;
ThinkPad Power Management Driver version 1.60;
ThinkPad Modem Adapter version 7.80.8.0;
ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration Package Setup version 3.11.0001;
Inter Wireless WiFi Link for Window XP version 13.02.0000;
ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP version 5.62;
ThinkPad Power Manager version 1.88;
Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (32-bit) version 6.0.5514.61.
I've got a Lenovo T61 with Windows XP SP3.
Also in Device Manager, there are now the two "Other devices" bellow with a yellow question point and a yellow exclamation point by side:
Bluetooth Hands-free Audio;
Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver.
Does anyone have any idea what can be done to have these issues solved?
P.S.: when I click Fn+F5 it shows only the Bluetooth Radio.

Hello and welcome,
I've seen something like this on XP machines after updates a couple of times now - my T61, a friend's T400, and his daughter's T61. I guess that makes 3
_Maybe_ your situation is the same.
The fix in all 3 cases was to go to device manager and uninstall the wifi driver. Then scan for hardware changes and let it reinstall the driver. Something about how Access Connections or some other networking mangement thingy was hooking the drivers I guess.
On both of the friend's machines, the wired networking was also b0rked. Same fix there.

U330 Ethernet not working, wireless works fine

I have an Ideapad U330 that will not get online using ethernet in windows. Before you ask, no it isnt my router. When I use an Ubuntu bootable disk, the ethernet works fine and I can surf the web without issue. I reformatted and installed windows 7 x86 (It had windows XP previously and the ethernet didnt work there either), installed all the drivers, and updated the BIOS, the ethernet still does not work while the wireless works fine. I thought this was a hardware issue until the ethernet worked with no issue in Ubuntu.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Alright well I booted it up in Ubuntu again to get the details, got an IP of 192.168.1.142 and DNS of 192.168.1.1. When connecting through Windows, I get an IP of 192.168.1.198 and DNS of 192.168.1.1. The only difference that it pulled up that was different from Windows' ipconfig /all is that it pulled a slightly different IP.
But, lo and behold, manually putting in the IP pulled from Ubuntu worked. But each time I try to go back to automatic IP in Windows it keeps delegating it to 192.168.1.198. Is there any reason why it keeps doing this? I would imagine that the router could have a setting having that out of an accepted range, but since that's the only IP it'll obtain otherwise, I'm wondering why that is.
I guess all there is left to ask is whether there's a way to keep the IP and DNS as automatic settings rather than manual. This is a college campus and I'd like to make sure that it wouldn't interfere with other computers or locations, including off-campus locations. Any thoughts?

P1606dn prints when connected wired but not when wireless

Hi
I have setup above printer as a network printer connected to a wireless router and 2-4 computer. Only the computer that is directly connected to the router by wire will print. All others can see the printer through wireless connection but printjobs stay in queue. I have removed the tick from the birectional printing, have stopped and restarted the sppoler and restarted the wirelss computer, but the printjobs stay in the queue until I manually remove them from the queue.
I am at wits end, and do not know what to try to get this printer work on the other cimputers.
Any advisae that may solve this problem is hugely appreciated.
Jim CleverCricket

Sorry that you are having problems with wireless printing. You can run the print and scan doctor and check the results.

It may be a anti-virus or a firewall that is blocking it. Try to disable it and see if that works for you.

2. Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections : Under this, when I list all the connection, the Ethernet connection is showing it as Enable.
3. When I unplug the network cable, at Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, I see the status as Cable Unplugged..
4. I downloaded the latest driver and installed, but didnt change this behavior.
How can I fix this ethernet issue. Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thanks,

Yeah, it is listed under the Device Manager.
I see one potential error under the event viewer. Thank you for that pointer.
The IP address lease 192.168.0.11 for the Network Card with network address 00216A1A24B2 has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.0.1 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).
Any idea why this is coming???
I get that exact same error when I change my MAC address and my computer is trying to connect to my router.
This message is probably just the result of your computer not recognizing your Ethernet Adapter.
I have never had this problem and am just shooting in the dark, but I would say you either have a bad Ethernet card, or your Adapter is not configured correctly.
I keep wanting to go back to your adapter in the Device Manager.
Is the Device Status "This Device is working Properly"?
Under Power Management, is the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" unchecked?
Are you downloading the drivers from Lenovo's website?
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70199
Have your tried Uninstalling the adapter, and reboot.
Your system may automatically reinstall the adapter. If not, you can manually reinstall it.

Wireless connections not working

So I've been putting off getting the system updates, as they require me to restart my laptop. It forcibly installed updates last night, and since it restarted with full updates, I haven't been able to connect to a wireless network. Where there should be an icon for WiFi, it has since been replaced with the Ethernet icon. So far, I haven't found an option to switch between Ethernet and wifi, so if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to try them.
Thanks, R.

Remote Desktop Connection not working

I am able to remote desktop connect to my home computer from work; however, I can't remote desktop connect to my work comptuer and server. I believed it has something to do with my Linksys E3000 access point settings but I'm not sure where to look for and verify. I took my home laptop to work and able to do remote desktop connect to the server. I also took a laptop that's working fine with remote desktop connect to the server home and tried to remote desktop connect to the server at work and it's not working. Therefore, I've concluded that it has something to do with the access point and not the settings in the computer because it works fine when I took it out of my home network. I also VPNP in to my work place so that it has the same IP address as at work and still, remote desktop connection from home to work is not working. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

Connecting from home to your remote desktop server has nothing to do with your router. Certain ports are needed to be opened from the server’s end in order to host an application. Try to connect your computer to your modem or to another wireless network just to check if your work’s remote desktop will work. In case it will not work, then contact your IT guy.
If you read my previous post it said:

I think my above statement answers your question of "Try to connect your computer to your modem or to another wireless network just to check if your work’s remote desktop will work." However, your statement prompts me think of something else. What I have tried is bring my laptop to work and tried connect via RDC to the server and it works but it just not working when trying at home. What I have not done is instead of brining my laptop to work and try RDC there, perhaps I should I try it on a friend's or relative's network and see if I can do RDC to my server at work. If this does not work as well, then, could it be that at work there is something something outside RDC coming? But even if this is so, why can't VPN work?

Preauth ACL for Wired guest not working

Hi Guys,
I have 5508 wireless lan controller running code 7.2. We recently implemented Wired guest access on the WLC and configured necessary changes on the switch. We also have wireless guest profile as well configured on the WLC. We have some people who usually use Jabber client for video conferencing so what we have done is we have configured a preauth acl so that if any users connect to the wireless guest profile they automatically connect to the Jabber server without going through the Web auth. We have applied the same ACL in the Wired guest profile as well but the problem is that Jabber is not able to connect unless we manually go through web browser and then authenticate, but it is working normally for wireless guest access without the web authentication. Let me know if this is some kind of bug or a known issue which can fixed in some way. Thanks in advance
- Krishna

Krishna:
Can you please confirm if other type of traffic (other than jabber traffic) is allowed by the pre-auth ACL?
try - for testing - to allow traffic -by same ACL - to some other destination and try via normal user to ping to open whatever session with that destination.
let me know if that works or not.
Regards,
Amjad

Internet connection not working after computer wakes up from sleep. OSX Lion

After upgrading to Lion, I noticed that my internet connection doesn't work when I wake my computer from sleep. I have to turn off the WiFi connection, turn it back on and it will work. I guess this is a glitch that will be fixed later on. Just wanted to point it out. I don't know if someone else is having the same problem? I am not very happy with the upgrade to Lion, things seem to be slower, I've had several freezes requiring to reboot. I guess Lion needed a little more twicking before release. Not worth the $29.99 price tag.

I had this problem on SL and on Lion as well, and it occures for WiFi and Ethernet connections.
In fact the internet connection was not broken as I could ping the destination usin the IP (not DNS name).
In this case the problem was related to mDNSResponder task which handles all dns queries.
It was the most frequent problem in my day to day work with SL and now Lion. It was never fixed by any patch from Apple. I tried almost all voodoo including fresh install, all possible config changes - no solution.
The only version with no problems related to network was 10.5.8. All the other versions had issues of different kind (WiFi instability (lost signal), DNS problems (for wireless and wired connection) sometimes associated with machine sleep and wake up and sometimes with no reason.
QUESTION: Is your problem independent of the access point / router you connect to.
I must say networking was (and still is) the weakest part, besides the other OS X weaknesses I experienced during 4 years of OS X usage.
No problems in the same network with Linux or Windows beeing ran natively on my iMac So hardware is OK.
Software is of poor quality. Not much more to say in this matter.
I found a very interesting article dated 1996 about programming which I think is still valid.
Link to the article: http://www.fastcompany.com/magazine/06/writestuff.html

Software is everything. It also s***s.

Internet connection - only works wirelessly

I have a two pronged issue.
1) I have not been able to get on the internet via my cable modem (comcast), only through a wireless connection using my neighbor's access. I called Comcast's tech support and they said the cable connection and modem are just fine. What now?
2) When they asked me to bypass the router and connect straight to the modem, I did it. Now I'm trying to remove the cat 5 cable, but it is now stuck in the ethernet port. What should I do so I don't void my warranty?

1) could be a number of things. At worst, your ethernet port may be blown. At best, it may simply be configured improperly. There isn't enough information for any kind of diagnosis.
2) This is a common issue. The plastic finger on your cable's connector is weak, and is bending outside the socket and not at the hinge joint, so the locking tab is not disengaging. First, try pushing the cable in firmly before pressing on the finger -- this will reduce friction on the locking tab, possibly enough to let it slide inwards and release. If this doesn't work, find a non-metallic tool of the proper size (a long toothpick or wooden swizzle is fine as long as it will take some leverage without snapping) and slide it into the socket outside the finger. Use the toothpick to press the finger inwards and try to get pressure on that part of the finger inside the socket. A strong nylon "spudger" tool or "twiddle stick" is ideal for this task if you have one.

Wired connecting through a wireless router

I have a WRT54GS (version 7) wireless router with speedboost. My computer is an HP Pavillion laptop. I get my internet access through Cox Cable and they provided me with a Motorola SB5101 Surfboard cable modem.
When I set up my router everything seems to work fine. I can disconnect the cable and get perfect wireless access to the internet. There are times that I do not want to work wirelessly. When I connect the cable to any of the ports on the back of the router and disable my wireless connection, I am unable to get internet access at all.
I have tried restarting the computer, restarting the router, restarting the modem, and setting up the modem with a different computer and I still cannot get access. I have spent hours on the phone with Linksys trying different things. I have replaced the router twice and they all do the same thing.
Has anyone else had this problem and did you get it resolved? Is it possible there is a conflice between the modem and the router? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi
ofcourse do check for wireless switch on ur laptop .
and one more thing
quite strange though make sure , you are connecting wirelessly to your network only ??(not to ur neighbours unsecured networks , sighs !)
your router may not set up properly , and you are kool as u hooked up to ur neighbours network.(now how kool is dat !)
from your words i doubt that this is the reason behind the issue.
as i recieved this kind of situation as far as 30+ a month . (sighs!)

Wired Headsets not working with Galaxy S5

I have a number of wired 2.5mm headsets that I use with other Android based smart phones (Droid 4 most recently). I use multiple 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapters, and they have all working fine for all of them.
When I try to use any of my wired headsets + adapters with my Samsung Galaxy S5 I hear the audio from the headset, but other people don't hear my voice from the headset. When I connect the headset it shows as "earphones" everytime, and indeed does work fine as a earphone, but the microphone does not work. I'm wondering if there is a setting I need to change so the S5 sees my wired headset as a device with a microphone and not just headphones.
Does anyone have any ideas on this?

I found out that the wiring of the contacts is different for some phones. If the earbuds say compatible with iPhone then the tip/ring/sleeve contacts are swapped in relation to the Galaxy S5's contacts. See: Phone connector (audio) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
