Been using DD-WRT for a couple years now, it fixed my WiFi dropouts.
Here's a direct link to your firmware:  ftp://ftp.dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2013/07-24-2013-r22118/tplink_tl-wr1043nd/

Here's the last large thread for the 1043ND:  http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=86533

v22118 has been the most stable version. but there are still bugs for some units.

There are various 1043 VERSIONS:  http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Supported_Devices#TP-Link

The wikis are not kept up to date, nor are the details of the support list.Computer_Commando
Thank you. You and the OP have done one of the best threads here  on CH. Switching to a third-part firmware seems odd, but whatever works is OK. Glad I followed  this post and learned something new. 


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT

Some routers actually ship with a version of DD-WRT, i.e. Buffalo.  So there is some funding there.
It's probably LESS expensive for a MANUFACTURER to use DD-WRT, than to use their own firmware.
They primarily support most all Atheros & Broadcom chipsets.  There is no support for others.
DD-WRT Forum is quite active, but not well moderated & is BECOMING more of a peer-to-peer forum.

Given all the issues with poor router firmware, I would never purchase a model that wasn't supported.Somewhat of a necrobump.
The problem has come back..
All the pictures given in the all the posts once again apply.

It's quite the odd anomaly really, seeing as I was still using the DD-WRT third party software..
Switched back to my regular one which hasn't cured the problem either.
Any tips are, as always, welcome.

The developer gave permission to edit the program.

because if i was to ask him he would probably just add to a later version which would take months. Also if is wasn't able to edit it why would he distribute the source with every release of the program and include comments in the coding ?

This program isn't FOSS(Free Open Source Software), it's illegal for us to modify it.

you still haven't proven that the developer gave you permission to edit or have some one else edit his software.

BSD License Explained In Layman TERMS

It’s always bothered me, how confusing the many Free and Open Source Licenses are. There are many to choose from. As a developer, which one do you pick? How do you choose what software to run? What applications or services will you DEPLOY pending licensing? These are big questions, and I hope to make explaining licenses easy and in simple terms for the average user. I’ll start with one of the more common licenses, the BSD license.

In a nutshell, the BSD license is a very open license, allowing you do do practically anything with the software. It’s less restrictive than the GPL, but more restrictive than the Public Domain. There are only a couple precepts that must be adhered to, when using this license:

    * You are free to redistribute the software, in binary or source form, as long as the copyright, conditions and disclaimer are present.
    * You cannot use the name of the originating organization, or contributers, to promote derivatives of the software, without written consent.

If adhered to, you are free to modify, copy and redistribute BSD-licensed software in either source or binary form as you see fit. You are not required to return code or patches to the upstream BSD-licensed software. You are free to change the license, or charge for derivatives, of the software, be it commercial or proprietary.

BSD-licensed software is particularly attractive to organizations providing a service, such as GMail, or embedded applications, such as your mobile phone or stereo. The company/developer can use BSD-licensed software to produce binary applications or services, without releasing the source code.

Finally someone who understand licensing. Thank you for clearing that up. 

thanks for all the help you guys. I really appreciate it. I did everything I was told to and I STILL could not connect to the internet. So I GOT frustrated and gave the laptop away. I gave it to someone I know and I told them if they can GET someone to fix it, be nice enough to give it back or I'll just get another one.That's too bad. It might not even be related to the laptop itself. Down in the lower right portion of your screen there is an ICON "wireless network CONNECTION" . Right click on it and select "repair" . That will open a window. Let it do it's thing and report back the results. Also have a look at "available networks" and tell us what it finds. truenorth

I was able to RUN the Microsoft fixit PROGRAM from their website to RESET my host to default but nothing has changed.Hey SORRY for my delay, busy time of year.

Please do us a favour and post a ipconfig /all so we can see your NETWORK settings.

How 'bout that...an EXTENDED drive-by.

 has anyone but me NOTICED a SLIGHT INCREASE of drive bys recentlyAnd an increase in useless posts.Although a lot of those have happily been the subject of a cull over the last couple of days.  I went missing cause I gave up. But now I will try again!  

And this time, I will not fail. No indeed.

I will read the FAQ, assign all sorts of IP addresses, and insist that the universe fall in line.

And then I will report. My success, of course.

Edit: Actually I failed again. I have emailed D-Link tech support. Sorry about the drive-by guys, it wasn't meant to be. We got a non-wireless router that I could use without DIFFICULTY, so I kinda forgot about this issue.  :-/No problem...at least you stopped back.

Does this mean your issues have been resolved ? ?Not yet, nope. I'm waiting to hear back from D-Link.

Update: Problem resolved!

Thanks for all that. We have a small business.18000 inventory lines, 200 debtors, 50 creditors. We do stock control, sales, program tells us how much to bank, puts this through to our balance sheet, tells us what we owe, who owes us how much, tells us how much money we have made, how much GST we have collected, how much  tax we need to pay at any time,

I thought that NTVDM was for running MS-DOS programs. are you saying it is going to disappear?

For this problem, you contact the Internet service provider,
After that check your ping test, through this site http://www.whoisxy.com/ping.aspx
It has the best INFORMATION of IP address, IP address to domain, domain name to IP,domain name, hosting, and ping test to know the particular connection is online or not!!!!!

I can see my files on my Win7 laptop okay (from my XP Desktop) and I turned off my firewall just to be sure it wasn't causing problems on my Belkin N+ router but after turning off my passwords for folder sharing (Laptop Win7) etc. I am still unable to diagnose why I am unable to see my XP desktop. I have never had this problem before I checked the Microsoft site to be sure all updates were installed on the XP desktop. Win7 LIKES to appear to be set up like "just run this program and it will diagnose your problem" utility. It isn't "all that". The last network diagnostic I PERFORMED suggested something was wrong with my permissions.......is there a reason why permissions should be set up differently than when I was running an XP laptop? Anyone have any useful suggestions? I'm not that inexperienced here I have an amazing degree of devices connected to my home network but the simple sharing of a file sharing setup mystifies me, after all it all worked before I purchased this Win7 laptop. When I connected the laptop I had to reconnect everything again as I had some devices ie; BluRay player connected without WPA it was connected only  by MAC address.

I recently followed your Malware/Virus removal STEPS and then installed Zonealarm (the free one) as my firewall.

I have an all-in-one printer/copier/scanner Canon Pixma  MP130. When I try to run a scan, I get an error stating that the computer cannot communicate with the scanner, that it is either turned off, or the cable is disconnected. However, the printer works fine ! I have rebooted the MP130, and re-inserted the USB in different ports, with no success. I have also shutdown the ZA completely, but I get the same error.

It works fine on my notebook, for which I have not run the security software process that I ran on this desktop.

I'm using ZA 9.1.007.002 and Avast 5.0.462 on WinXP Home 2002. Also, I recently ran Advanced System Care 3.5.0

Are there some security settings that are incorrect ?If the printer is working, but the scanner is not, then I doubt this is due to a firewall issue.

Are you using the latest driver for the All IN ONE device?Yes. The last driver posted was 2007.

Also note that the unit works fine with my notebook computer, using WinXP Pro but without Zonealarm or Avast (uses AVG). Also, it seems strange that only the scanner is ex-communicado while the printer is fine. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions about security software, but the coincidence of changing to ZA, Avast, and running Advanced System Care seems strong to me.

So, I presume you mean Outlook Express, in your Windows XP computer, and Windows Live Mail in your Windows 7 computer.  The procedure for Import messages into Windows Mail from Outlook Express should also work for importing into Window Live Mail.

I have a d link dir655 wireless n router and a Panasonic DECT 6.0 wireless phone system. With incoming calls the router will disconnect from the INTERNET and it will take several minutes after the call to reconnect. My understanding is that with DECT 6.o technology I shouldn't get wireless interference. Can someone please give me an idea of what to do? Thanks. Well, to be quite frank, I'm not sure of what I should say at this point. I have DSL with my local phone company and it's the pits.
It took a long time to get it straightened out and one of the problems I ran ACROSS was the phone company would want me to pay them extra money to maintain the wiring in my house. I felt that was completely unnecessary, I put the wiring in myself and I am capable of fixing it.
Anyhow, here's what I eventually did. I ran wire from the post outside of my house into the side of the house in my laundry room. That's the shortest link to the inside of the house. At that point I put in a FILTER and I put the modem on a little shelf in the laundry room. Tthe filter would split the signal between the DSL modem and the phone lines in the rest of the house. That way all the rest of the phones in the house did not have to have filters, because I had placed a splitting filter right at the point where the phone line comes into the house. This way the DSL modem has a much shorter length of phone wire from the house to the post outside the house. It works pretty good that way, but still sometimes the telephone company has problems with their lines.
But presently, my DSL keeps on working even when the phone starts acting up. So they did eventually get a very good DSL signal out here, but unfortunately the rest of the phone system is still not very good.
You might even consider getting another phone line just for the DSL. That would seem to be overkill, but there might be some other reason you could justify a second phone in the house. The second phone would not have to be hooked up to all the wiring in your house. You coul   have it for just you home office.
Anyway, I just WANTED to say that if you KEEP hounding them but eventually will fix it. But you should not have to pay more money. The downside is that the original modem they sold you probably is not any good. So you may have to just bite the bullet and buy a decent modem.
I hope this is of some help. 

lately, i haven't been able to connect to the steam store. i'm able to play games online through steam, have them update, and even download/install games that i own through steam. i've also updated steam to the latest build. i'm also not able to connect to the interwebs through internet explorer, but i can use firefox just fine. i can download things and post on forums, etc. then just a minute ago, i downloaded and installed google earth, but i get 3 errors when i start it:

error 1: We were unable to connect to the Google Earth servers to activate your account.
then it tells me it can connect to the help page to try and resolve the issue, but theres nothing on the page.

error 2: Google Earth could not contact http://kh.google.com:80/. Please check your network connection and try again in 15 minutes.
that message gives me another link to a support page, which shows the same result as the first error.

error 3: Google Earth could not establish a new session with the EarthServer.
it goes on to say it will only display data from cache and will notify me if it connects.

i've determined that all of these issues are caused by some weird network problem. not SURE what it could be, as i can play online games and download things and stuff. any insight would be terrific. i'll provide more info if needed. thanks in advance.

edit: all these programs are allowed through windows firewall.
edit 2: itunes can't connect to the store/genius/what have you, either. forgot that one lol.kay, almost 24 HOURS and no replies, so this is a bamp and i think i may have figured out the issue, but am confused still. it seems i don't have an external ip ADDRESS, as shown in the screencap. what could have caused this? how can i fix it? thanks in advance.

Hi everybody!I have problem to get working wireless connection on my 6 years old HP with Windows XP.And I  am thinking ,what about Powerline Ethernet Adapter.I live in a single house.That would work,right?What the difference in signal strength (signal drop).If my router is 56 Mgb/sec-what do i get at the other end?Is this WAY good enought?The AC Power Ethernet Adapters have a bad rap, but are suppose to work. The signal quality is different from your Wifi signal quality - it will either work or won't.

The 56mb figure you reference is the Wifi max speed at full signal... this is usually much faster than your Internet connection. The AC adapters probably try to get you 10mb or 100mb which are the common physical Ethernet speeds.

How FAR from your router is your laptop? It would be better to use Wifi if you could... Yes, you're much better off using just the pair wires rather than to attempt power line or wireless connections. The power-line network connection is for situations where you absolutely positively cannot pass a wire under a window under a doorway or make a very tiny hole in the wall.
Of course, Ethernet cable is rather thick, about the size of your little finger. But it's possible to have a suitable network using just the two pair of very thin wires. This type of connection can sustain 1 Mb for very long distances, like over 500 feet. For shorter distances, say under 100 feet you can get up to 10 Mb per second.
There is a company that goes by the name of t "Two Wire" and they got their start making USB devices that would tie into a two wire or four wire telephone cord. Any kind of wire works, I used a very long extension cord, with suitable connectors of course, and it worked very well from my barn over to the RV trailer where my daughter lived for a while. However, it is not Ethernet compatible, so you have to set up network sharing for the thing to get you onto a local area network.
Here is the link for the company:
http://www.2wire.com/
Notice that they make many different kinds of network products. The two wire interface was one of their earlier things.
First thing I would do is post all the information here about your wireless network, and the problems it's having.  If that can be fixed that would be simpler and cheaper that buying new hardware, running or new cabling.Wireless would work better for you. If you're having problems you just need to see if they're from the wireless adapters on the computers or if it's a problem with the router.I just recieved new N-router from Comcast and i`m going to install it.Then I`m going to check wireless adapter and set it up with new router ..Maybe will get some luck .Otherwise will run wire.Just to add to the thread, I've been using powerline adapters for a year or two now ... no issues.  I'm in a situation where I can't run an Ethernet cable, otherwise I would.  The powerline adapters have been great for me, no issues whatsoever.  Just like an Ethernet cable really, no noticeable added latency or speed issues. Here is another viewpoint.

Devolo dLAN 200 AVeasy powerline adapter review
 By: Hilbert Hagedoorn | Edited by Ian R. Barling | Published: March 22, 2010 
So the other day I had to set up a little network for a friend of mine and the entry point of the ADSL line and router were located in the bottom of his house. His two PCs that needed to be connected where all the way on the second floor. Now, to create a network one can do SEVERAL things. Take a long CAT5 cable, drill holes though the floors of the house and route the cabling through it. Sure, BEST performance... but not really sexy-looking in your spanking new remodeled house.....

...For several years, some companies have tried some way to use the outside electric lines to carry internet service.  Since outside electric wires are unshielded, they also act as giant antennas, and create strong interference to low frequency HAM radio.  Because of the interference, it's mostly a dead issue, but some companies are still working on it, and it seems to pop up every few years.

Broadband Over Powerlines has been in development for many years, the main issue being getting the signal to pass through all the transformers.  Utility companies have viewed this technology as the Holy Grail.  Since they already have the infrastructure in place, the cost to become a major ISP player would be relatively low.

if i view a video on youtube, does it use the same amount of my internet allowance as if i downloaded it? and if not then how much?    please answer!Yes it does. The videos are basically FLV movies that the Youtube Flash Client is downloading to watch. Even if you start a video then pause it after a second, the video will still "BUFFER" or DOWNLOAD to your computer.it depends on how big is the video you WATCHING. Longer video means it will take more from your allowanceI did a very ROUGH calculation and found that standard quality video will run at 1.46 Megabytes per minute and that High quality runs at 6.59 Megabytes per minute.

I hope this helps!

I had a WRT54G ROUTER thinking it was causing the lag spikes but after buying a new router, a wrt541g, I find out that is not the problem.

My internet connection is 3m/512k. I play a game called Crossfire which is at z8games.com. My ping is around 30ms at all times when no one else is on the computer that is hooked to my router. However, when my mom gets on Facebook my ping spikes LIKE mad, it will go from 30ms to 350+ in an instant and makes the game completely unplayable. Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this? This only happens when mom is on her computer too, it should probably be noted that she plays Farmville.It wouldn't let me edit the post for some reason but here is a ping test.



That is while my mom is not on it and when she is on it the jitter jumps up to around 100 or so randomly and the ping goes through the roof. Also I made a mistake on my first post, it's a wr541g not a wrt541g.What's the network topography like?  Are you on WiFi?

Tbh, it's GOING to happen anyway as the router has more LOAD to deal with when more devices are using it.

Anyway, try running a trace route to a couple of different places next time you notice the problem.

Such as (without the qoutes) the following in a command prompt (Start -> Run -> CMD):

"tracert -d www.google.co.uk"
"tracert -d www.bbc.co.uk"
"tracert -d www.microsoft.com"
"tracert -d z8games.com"

Post the results back, and we'll be able to see where the lag kicks in. 

(Note: When I tested z8Games, there were a couple of routers that had noticably high times such as 300 ms)

I apologize. I didn't search the forum first, simply because I didn't know what to search for. ANYWAY..

My office uses a redundant internet provider system. We subscribe to two. Occasionally, we are required to switch over to the other for a time to test it.

Our internet comes in on two seperate modems (one for each provider). Those two modems go into a Linksys router (RV042 4-port VPN router). This router has what seems to be called a DMZ/Internet port, and a regular Internet port. This router is connected to a hub. One provider works in the DMZ port only. The second provider works when alone, but when the DMZ provider is also connected, the second stops working. I need both to be connected and working.

By the way, our office networking person is no longer with us for whatever reason, and I've been elected to fill in for some ungodly reason. I know next to nothing about networking. This is why I am posting.

Thank you to anybody that can help/give me a lead.Ok, do both connections need to be active simultainiously?

Is this purely for redundancy should one connection die?  If so, does it need to happen automatically, as in switch from failling connection to active connection?

Has this ever been setup and working as desired?

Did the old guy leave any documentation about the network?What are your internet connections?  Cable, DSL, T-1, or other?  And what speed is each?

I have seen redundant , or dual connections, where both are active at the same time, which increases bandwidth.

Do you need more speed?  Do you have a budget for new equipment?sorry guys. not ignoring you. the boss is considering DIFFERENT options before i get into this. will get back to you.but before i do that, let me ask you, ...generally, should i be able to connect one isp MODEM to a switch which then goes off to FOUR computers and be able to see the internet?

but before i do that, let me ask you, ...generally, should i be able to connect one isp modem to a switch which then goes off to four computers and be able to see the internet?

my QUESTION is if I connect two computers together to to use internet connection (shared) does the other computer have access to my files and programs?  and if so how do I keep the other computer from using or seeing my files I don't want him to see?  in other words if I connect two computers together to use same internet connection can the other computer see my files on my computer and can he change my settings, I don't what the other computer to use or see my files but want them to share the same internet conection.The other computer will have access to files that you are sharing. ok is there a way to keep the other person that is sharing the internet from seeing/ using my files?Yes, don't share any files. I don't have windows 7 but it hasn't changed much from vista. If you go to "network & sharing" in the control panel you should see options in the BOTTOM for "file sharing" & "network discovery". They each have a quick description of what they are. READ them & after you understand them turn them off. THANKS I think that is what I need to do appreciate the help!

I recently returned from an extended road trip and have had problems with my computer at various hotels. I can CONNECT, have very GOOD to excellent signal strength but am unable to transfer data. I SEND many packets and receive almost none. Like shaking hands with a stranger, I connect, but we speak different languages so cannot communicate. Could it be Dlink to Glink problems. I have an old laptop running Trednet interface/software.

Thanks in advance for anu information
Almost sounds like there is a static entry in the computer's CONFIGURATION somewhere (DNS server, IP address, static route, proxy server.)

Can you provide more information? Do you know if you are able to get an IP lease from the router at these remote sites?Thanks Wyatt,

     I'm not sure what you mean by an IP lease. I should also have mentioned it seems like every other hotel causes me grief. I have no problems at HOME and many other locations so assumed it is possibly a different configuration or type of router causing me the intermittent grief.

so my internet has been running slowly LATELY and i just noticed that both of those say not connected, but whenever i connect ELSEWHERE it usually says internet. just wondering if that would be any reason it would be running slower? noWe need a WHOLE lot more information.I also notice the ipconfig  command provides information with a different format than previously.

The ipconfig info shows that I'm connected and then shows I'm not connected even tho I'm still connected

I have a 1-yr old Sony VAIO laptop, and its WIRELESS internet connection capability is completely gone. It says, "No networks available" when I try to connect. I know that is not true! My wireless router is working fine.  When I go to Start > Network > Network and Sharing Center > Manage networks , it says that my wireless connection is disabled. Weird! So I TRIED enabling it, but that didn't work--it remained disabled.

This problem happened in the past several times, but each time I restarted the computer and everything would be OK. But today, I already restarted 5 times and the problem is still there .

I know that
1) my wireless router is okay because I could connect to it in the past (before this problem occurred today) and I'm CURRENTLY connected to it on my other laptop...where I'm writing right now
2) my wireless button is turned ON

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help. Have you tried....

another wireless network?

Reloading the drivers on your machine?

Is there an external switch that might have been accidentially switched off?Spoiler is on the right track with this. First, download updated drivers from Sony for your wifi card. Don't install yet though. Restart and enter BIOS settings. Check your BIOS settings to ensure that wireless is enabled. BOOT into windows and install drivers. If it doesn't prompt to reboot, do it anyway. If, after you've done that, your wifi-power switch is on and its still not working, I would GUESS your wifi card is toast.

ok i need help pls! i moved and so internet is connected and evertyhing and if i connect it right from the modem to pc it works fine but when i try to connect thru the wifi router i get a yellow triangle [im in win 7 ] and no internet connection but i its connected to network..?any ideas..i already tried to reset and all that..

OK UPDATE I KNOW WHAT THE RPOBLEM IS
something wont let 2 pcs on the internet at once
idk what it is maybe my comcast rmodem[router] or some settings..anyway is there some setting to disable 2 pcs to connect to the interrnet at once from same network? because on every second pc that i connect i get yellow triangle and no internet acces but network is connected fine...soo any ideas?please..very desperate

any ideas?

Hi everybody!I need help to fix this:I GOT Netgear-N wireless dual band adapter ,downloaded driver and run installation.On bottom information bar i have Netgear sign and when i POINT to it it says"Netgear is connected to network, signal strength -excellent, -Validating Identity"And another message :Windows was unable to find certificate to log on to network" Validating identity newer finishes,even overnight.Netgear window says adapter working properly,has channel and signal strength is at full.My wireless router is in working CONDITION(my other DVD has connection).My computerHP Pvilion 1040 Extreme Eddition,Windows XP,My router by Netgear from Comcast.Please help!Check your routers wireless setup, if there is an encryption key for it make SURE you use it.Yes,it has passcode wich i used to get connection.The strange thing is that wireless adapter is connected and have very strong signal.

Hey there guys,

I use VNC software to connect to my desktop computer remotely using my laptop. On most networks I can connect, but when I try to connect from my college I can't. I think the ports used by VNC are blocked on the network, but SOMEHOW my school uses Remote Desktop Connection to allow students to connect their virtual drives to extract school work. I understand if I connect from school to virtual drive then it probably a local IP, but I can also connect from home which means the ports for RDC should be open.

Do you guys know of any way to access my desktop pc at home using my laptop in college? Is there an application that would bypass the ports or anything?

Thanks in advance.ultimatum, Did you ask someone at the school about this? Did they SAY NO WAY! And did you come here to tray and get around the limits they put on how the school equipment is to be used?
What do you need from your Desktop that will not fit on a USB flash drive?

Yes, if you have a real need to get remote accuse in a hardened location, it can be done. But I suspect that you wee looking for something free, cheap, easy and lazy. Am I right?You could use logmein

if your willing to pay for it - seventy bucks a year.

Hi all,

RECENTLY I was doing some self-learning about Proxy.
I downloaded a few Proxy software to HELP me get some basic conception on how Proxy works,
and meanwhile I visited this web site:
http://whatismyipaddress.com/
and I was detected to be using Proxy tool.

I got some questions in mind:
1. All the Proxy software I have tried on claimed that they can hide the USER's IP from being detected or found, but how come whatismyipaddress.com knew I was using Proxy tool?
2. Say if I was using Proxy visit a P2P community and downloading some copyrighted materials there,   
 can the cops still be able to find my real IP even if they do not go to raid the Proxy server?

Thank for your reading.

KittyHello, kwfine.
You should understand that here on computer help forum we cannot help you with cops and robbers.
This forum is widely read and any information we put here would be available to a large number of people. Helping anyone to a fully prosecution for a crime would make the forum members a party to the crime. We can't have that.
One of the reasons for using a proxy is when some restraint has been put on some users because they do not have permission to engage in certain activities. There can be a legitimate reason for someone to use a proxy server to get around this. I will cite one example. A United States citizen with proper credentials may travel abroad to a country that is not in a favored position with United States. Internet access into and out of that country may be limited. So the citizen who is fully qualified to access some confidential or secret material may use a proxy server along with appropriate credentials to get access to material that is not allowed to go into that particular country. However, that is a rather exceptional situation.
In your case, it appears that you want to copy material that is covered by the copyright law. If you do not have a legitimate reason for doing thaat, then you should not be doing that.

But if you just want to watch old TV SHOWS, that is not a problem. They are available on the web with reasonable terms of service usage rules. Not hot box office movies. It will be awhile before you can see 3-D AVATAR on your PC.
Thank you for the prompt help, Geek.To answer your question though, no, you can never be completely hidden.

Hi there,

I have a desktop computer, and am using a belkin wireless usb dongle to connect to the wi-fi. Being at uni i recently took my computer home for the easter holidays and have had it connected to the network at home, via the same usb dongle. I have now returned to my university HOUSE only to find that my computer will no longer connect to the router! This has happened before upon returning to university after the Christmas holiday (however i did not have my computer connected to any network while away) and i solved the problem by simply returning the usb dongle to pc world and getting it replaced, however now i can't find the receipt for this one and don't really want to have to buy another one.

Surely this should not be happening? Does anyone have any ideas why it might be going this?

It can see the wireless network, and i try and connect, typing in the PASSWORD but it just comes up with a limited or no CONNECTIVITY ERROR!

Thanks for any help guys, i really appreciate it!

If not i may just buy a new adapter, but i would rather avoid having to buy yet another one!

i have two computer one i am using is connected with a 3g MOBILE broadband and other i have connected with the networking CABLE, connection icon is there on other pc but web is not OPENING, 169.254.143.153 this ip is on other computer, on main computer there is no any ip ADDRES. sharing OPTION is also not there. pls help

So everytime my girlfriend tries to connect to our wireless network from her laptop it PRETTY much SHUTS our internet down. It will knock the desktop and printer off and it won't even connect itself. I tried connecting my laptop after this happened and it worked great, connected COMPLETELY and the desktop and printer STAYED online... I'm confused as to why only her laptop does this and would appreciate and advice on how to fix this situation. I also tried shutting the firewall off and this did not help. ThanksWild Wireless Woe. 
What you describe is very unusual. We would like to have a little bit more information. Especially some information about what kind of router you have. And what brand sand model of laptop are you using.
Do you mean to say that your printer is also wireless? And the  desktop also connect through the wireless? Are you able to connect from the router directly to your desktop?
It cheers that the laptop in question is causing interference to the wireless connection. Have you tried moving that laptop further away from your stuff lip to see if interference stops?the router is a linksys but it also has cisco on top of it... The laptop is a Toshiba not even a year old with VISTA on it... The printer is wireless but that doesnt matter, what's bugging me is being in the middle of something and when she turns her laptop on and tries to connect it kicks me off on the desktop. The desktop is not wireless, it's hardlined in from the router directly... Hopefully that helps. Thanks again

Hello,

I am PRIMARILY use mozilla firefox and google for internet research. 

But, I LIVE in Mexico and everything reverts to Spanish automatically which is profoundly frustrating because I do not fully COMPREHEND Spanish.

Is there a sure fire method to set these parameters to English only that will be permanant?  I have tried to figure this out on my own, but since most of the instructions are in Spanish it is even more frustrating.   

I appreciate any help I can get at this point.  I work on a tight schedule online and I simply do not have any more time to devote to this irritating problem.
 You will need to use the English version of Fire Fox. You may want to set up an account on Google and indicate that you want English.
Have you already done that?
You have to have some cookies.
Your local ISP is in Mexico, - Right? This signals web sites you are in an Spanish country.
Has nothing to do with what version your firefox is. Google will try and determine where you are in the world and base it's search results off of that. You can use something like The Onion ROUTER (TOR) http://www.torproject.org/or some other proxy service to mask your IP and make it look like its coming from inside the US.I downloaded the english version of firefox and originally set up google in english.  So you think google is the problem here?  Does my isp have anything to do with this? 

Ok, lets say I decide to use the onion router which doesn't bother me using a proxy server to avoid this problem.  Just one question are their inherent problems associated with using a proxy server that I need to understand?  ie, down times or isp problems?  (I'm sure people in China understand the proxy server.)  And if I switch is it easily reversed.  I am not technically gifted.

Or, if I erased all my cookies and reset my preferences every day?  Actually I think I may have already tried that. 

I think your right U knew who things seem to be get reset by the ip address. 

So proxy server time.  geez I hope this is easier than just learning the *censored* language!  Any body have some easy proxy server suggestions?

Ha Anyway, thankyou both Geek9pm and UknewWho really appreciate the suggestions.

Hello,

I have a computer on the network and installed a printer LOCALLY on this pc and shared it for other computers to connect to it, sometime users complain that they cannot print, to resolve this situation i have always  to restart the pc where the printer is installed.

How can i bypass this issue avoiding constatnt restart to enable other pc to print without proble. Sharing printer through a computer is not reliable, for some reason.  Get the printer on the network with a Print Server for about $50Thanks for your post, we do have a print server, running and working just fine however due to reduced IP lease we do not want to add more printer to the print server and this printer will only be used by limited users.

I think there must be a cheap way out than paying $50. Anyother suggestion is welcomed.

ThxWhat OS is the printer shared from? What printer, make/model? Can you printer locally when the share stops working the the network users? Is the printer setup as a network port or local on the connecting machines?We using XP Professional SP3
The printer is HP LaserJet 4250
Well i haven´t yet tried printing locally when other users are complaining, i will do that once the problem arises again.
It´s Setup locally on the connecting machine.

More help is appreciated.

ThxI can only tell you how I set this type of configuration up.

On the machine sharing the printer, ensure the windows XP simple file sharing and any firewall are disabled.
On all of the connecting machines, ensure the printer is setup as a local port and not network port.

Load only the drivers and not the whole HP software package on the workstations.

does this happen on a regular basis or pretty much random?Thanks for the post.
Windows Firewall is turned off, as to windows xp simple file sharing i am not sure, because that option only appears once at first time when file sharing is RUN for the first time, and that as been done alraedy on this pc.
What are the steps in seting up the printers on the connecting machine as a local port and not network port?

This connection failure only happens once in every two DAYS or three days.
Help.Simple file sharing can be turned off by:
1. Open any folder
2. Click Tools file menu -> Folder Options
3. View tab -> Scroll all the way to the bottom
4. Uncheck 'Use Simple File Sharing'

As for setting up a local port, this is how I setup shared printers
1. In Printers and Faxes click Add Printer
2. Click Next
3. Select Local Printer Attached to this computer -> Click Next
4. Select Create a new port -> In the drop down Select Local Port
5. Enter your machine name and share name in unc form (\\computer-name\printer-share-name) -> Click OK
6. I have all driver and software cds copied to my network, so I click 'Have Disk' and navigate to my share with all of my printer drivers.
7. If it asks to keep or replace current driver, replace, we ALSO may have a machine messing up the print spool with a bad install.
8. Next, Next, Next from there.

let me KNOW if you have any questions.Thank u, things are fine and working smoothly.

hello
is there a way to change the desktop wallpaper of a group of pcs in the same network all at once?!! i am the admin and i am tired of CHANGING it manuallyDepends how your network is setup.

I know Active Directory GPO can do this.will this work?
i use xp and i dont have a serverYou need to have a Domain Controller to use GPO. You have however set a local policy so the user can't change the desktop BACKGROUND.

(assuming this is XP Pro)
Click Start -> Run -> Type 'gpedit.msc' (without 's)
Navigate to User Configuration\Administratrive Templates\Desktop\Active Desktop

In there you can specify all settings for active desktop, including what wallpaper to use and stop users from making changes.how do i check if i have a Domain Controller? Quote from: lavender on April 28, 2010, 02:58:23 AM

I guess reading other posts helps but these things are so specific and only helps to a point. I've already poured over some posts relating to this but here it goes...

I've been using ICS to connect my Xbox to my computer for internet USE.  It works fine and I've used it for a while so I know the basics.  However I have STARTED to GET an error that says:

An error occured while ICS was being enabled.
ICS cannot be enabled.
A LAN connection is already configured with the IP address
that is required for automatic IP addressing.

It confuses me becuase I've been able to use it for so long and now this pops up.  I go to ipconfig/all and 192.168.0.1 is not present anywhere.  My router is configured NOT to use that address. The DHCP range is also configured NOT to auto assign that address. So it isn't being reserved anywhere, and isn't being used. I have had other adapteres hooked up to the computer and NETWORK Connections says I'm on wireless connection 4. Does the registry keep track of connections and their settings? Is it possible that somewhere in my registry 192.168.0.1 is still reserved for ONE of my previous connections (1-3) and causing a conflict?

I'm using XP Pro SP 3 Version 2002. Any info I missed can be given.

Thank you.

I recently upgraded my Verizon DSL from 1.5Mbps to 3Mbps and I see a difference between the speed on the MODEM home page and the results of various speed tests. On the modem connection page the speed is LISTED as 2.464 and the speed test I ran on speakeasy.net show 2.059. Sometimes the speed is less than that. I am using a Westell 2200 modem and my desktop is running XP and my laptop is running Vista. I am using a Netgear WGR614 wireless router for the laptop but the desktop is cabled. The speed is about the same on both.
Is there a logical explanation for this difference? Are there any settings that I should change?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! 
Thanks.There are two things I can think of right now.    There could be QoS turned on on the moder or router by default which may reserve badwidth and that could limit your speed. It could also be the router interfering.   Try connecting a computer straight to the modem and running a speed test.    Know that you will never get the full speedI get the same results when I connect the desktop directly to the modem; there is always a difference between what the modem page and the speed tests show.
How do I find out if there is a QoS issue with the modem?
Thanks.........There's a difference for me too 

Check out the router config page and modem config page (where you check that speed) and look in the advanced sections. You can also find an online manual for your router and how to configure QoS.

Most routers and modems have QoS built in; different models have it on or off by default. I'm on Qwest and have the M1000 modem and with the previous version of the firmware QoS was enabled by default but it wasn't set up for any ports (it was reserving bandwidth but that bandwidth was never used). In their new firmware they have QoS off by default and I have NOTICED a speed increase. Now my router does automatic QoS for gaming and video.I checked the router settings menu and there is no QoS feature listed as indicated on the Netgear website for other models. I guess my model is too "old", and I didn't see any firmware upgrade that added this feature.
However I made some other changes which improved the speed. I disconnected a phone which was using the same jack as the modem and I replaced the cable from the modem to the jack with a better one. Now I get 2880 on the modem itself and about 2.4/2.5 on the pc's. I am going to continue my research on WHETHER I can improve on that but for the time being I happy with the improvement.
Thanks for the help.
 Have you thought of moving the DSL modem closer to the POINT where the phone line comes into the house? It may give better results with the modem and the filter set as close as possible to the place where the line comes into the building.Thanks. Its not very practical to do that because the line comes into the basement and my desktop is cabled to the router but I'll see if I can make the change.

i have DSL on my desktop and it is a wired connection and when i disconnect it from my desktop and connect it to my labtop it doesnt work why is this? is there any way i can connect it to my labtop and get the internet on there instead of my desktop?
You will do better if your subject is related to the problem rather than "issue 1" or "issue 2"How much way out of the router. Is there a wireless .
What is the operating system for laptopim sorry allan i DIDNT know what to put as the topic like i said before...im not good with computers....but the name of my labtops wireless device is
{INTEL(R) PRO/Wireless 22008G Network Connection}Has it worked like this before?

I only ask because I've dealt with some ISPs who filter TRAFFIC by MAC address,, forcing you to call your ISP to clear the mac table in the modem, making doing what you are trying to do not optional. Best idea would to get a router to handle the sharing of the internet connection.yes HEY thanks guys i found out my solution and i have already SET up and plan to get is all fixed out but thanks for all the valuble information !!!!!

k i have been connecting to a PUBLIC wireless network and then all of a sudden it says im connected but i cant browse, or do anything that INVOLVES the internet. what am i to do? i have a IBMThinkPad Labtop and i have Windows XP not Vista my Wireless device on my labtop is{Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection} i have tried restarting it and letting it sit for a while but the problem still presists. somebody please help me Trackstar11s,
Have you tried another network?
Can you drive around the town and connect to other hot spots?
yes i have tried that and i do get the connection but when i click on internet Explorer it says IE cannot view the WEBPAGE then it says diagnose the problem ugh i mean 2 days ago i was just on the internet in my home doing everything that needed to be done. it so FRUSTRATING

Not sure what you mean by this.


Are you talking about monitoring your TCP connections ?

i've been USING my LAPTOP with a NETGEAR wireless router for a long time.

 but i changed a setting somehow, and now my toshiba satellite WONT connect to any wireless network. please help!What setting did you change?i think it had to do with the security settings. wpa?
Have u changed ur WPA password? Are you able to connect internet through wired connection? Also, MENTION the type of connection WAN connection which you have chosed. (Ex, PPPoE, DHCP, Static. As some of the previous post mentioned verify that the WPA password on the Netgear and your laptop are the same. Also can you see your wireless network being broadcasted, the SSID?

Jeff

sorry was not sure how to word the question.
or what does it do, ..........
Well from the term "LIGHTS out" I would take it to MEAN to "turn off". However, I have no idea what DEVICE you are referring to. Might help if you told us where you are reading this "lights out" from.What is the CONTEXT?It was to do with remote access to a net work and web interfacing

I used to WORK in an office and had to connect to their domain. At home, computer still thinks there is a domain. I just want to boot up Windows and connnect to internet wirelessly. That currently works. How to get rid of domain, its logins etc.
Thank you.Well you right click MY COMPUTER & select PROPERTIES. Then go to the COMPUTER NAME tab & change it from a DOMAIN to a WORKGROUP. However, keep the following in mind. You will automatically lose any user account that was associated with that domain. So if you have files in that account that you still NEED make sure to back it up or say bye bye to them. Also, since you will get rid of that account you need to make sure you have a local account on the pc to be able to log into it afterward. If you don't then you'll need to login with the admin account and you better know the password!Thank you for your reply.  As the saying goes, "Given enough time even a blind hog will find an ACORN." I rummaged thru enough and found that answer. Now I want to remove the local workgroup. I don't need to share files, etc. The printer is connected thru the router so its WIRELESS.  I'll try the name panel again.

New problem: SEEMS that Winsock keeps getting messed up. Windows (or IE) is able to reset the defaults but it is still an inconvenience. It means I have to do a restart. Maybe this will be eliminated with the removal of the workgroup.

Thanks again for your help.

I would like to transfer a lot of files from my HP computer to my new build.

My current setup limits me to a speed of 100Mbits.




My idea was to buy a 1Gbit PCI CARD for the HP and a 100Mbit card for the Custom build, so it will be like this:


Would this work? (Would I be able to transfer files at 1Gbit and still have internet though the router?I like your drawings. I don't know why you made the nics in the SECOND drawing bigger than the others but that's besides the point. You actually do have the right idea but just need some pointers on actually setting it up. The CONNECTION between the two computers will require that you have a crossover ethernet cable between them. You will also have to assign them static ip addresses. Also, do you plan on still using the hp afterwards? If not then it's a waste of money to buy the 2 nics for a one time use. You can just transfer the files over night while you SLEEP so it doesn't affect your internet. Do you plan on using the internet from the hp as well? If not you could just buy 1 nic. The NIC's are bigger because they're actual cards, not a chip on the motherboard.

I plan to use the HP as a Linux web browsing machine and my custom build as a gaming machine.
So both computers need to be able to access the internet (without sharing, so one computer can access the internet without the other being on).

And overnight copying isn't an option as the computers are in my bedroom, they're too hot and noisy to sleep with.Just remember to not set a default gateway and dns on the cards between the two computers, only on the LAN cards. Also best to assign them a different network address (ie LAN is 192.168.1.x make your crossover 192.168.2.x)It works.How about daytime copying while you are at work/school?

Geek-9pm - I can't believe I trusted you with my backup plan. Couldn't resist .

Good morning all,

I have a question will this product Linksys WAP54G 802.11g WIRELESS Access Point have also routing capabilities as well.....it does protect your data and privacy, the Wireless-G Access Point can encrypt all wireless transmissions. The MAC Address filter lets you decide exactly who has access to your wireless network. But does it have routing tables? and forwards packets?

PLEASE assist AND correct me where i am wrong.....

thanks guys!
LeoI don't see that particular item on their web SITE, but a WAP is NOT a ROUTER nor does it typically have a NAT firewall.  thanks for the clarification...!

My sons are connected this way:
Comp1 (Jerk) is connected directly to the router
Comp2 (st-benedict) is wireless USB adapter

When Comp1 goes online it knocks Comp2 offline.
If we disble Comp1's connection then turn off the computer, then turn on Comp2 to get a connection then restart Comp1 and enable the connection they will stay online. 

The icons for Connections (other than the onboard ethernet) never show up on Comp2 so we cannot make any changes to it from there. The only way to see if Comp2 is online is to get up a browser and test it.

In the morning we have to recycle the modem and router to get this proceedure to work.  We would like to be able to connect regular (without the ruberics I described) and get our Icon back.
I will paste IPconfig /all for when Comp2 is offline and when it is online below - There is a strange string of numbers and letters after the adapter I think you may want to make note of, as well as the "Mini port"

I wanted to stress that just DISABLING Comp1's connection is not enough - we must shut down the computer completely then start Comp1 to go online, then restart Comp2 and enable its connection - I was thinking MAYBE this might point to a something in BIOS handling ISP?
Any help will be appreciated - Thank You Very Much!Both PCs need their own IP address to be served from the router via IP Pool and DHCP. Who manages the router?

JeffSorry I didn't give the wired (Comp1) IP info - it has a different IP than the wireless does.
Managing the Router depends on which computer is online - if Comp2 isn't online, it cannot access the router.

Hi all.  I am trying to connect my Xbox to Live.  Now I'm borrowing my internet from my neighbor downstairs (I'm not stealing BTW: he knows and allows it).  I connect my PC to the internet through a Wireless-N USB antenna, and it picks up the faint signal only when placed in the window.  I don't have a wireless adapter for the Xbox, but I do have Ethernet cables and a spare WRT54GS ROUTER.  I tried various connector setups of ethernet wires between my computer, my Xbox, and the router, but still can't connect.  Given my SETUP, is it possible to connect to Live?  Thank you for any help.I'm sorry all.  I don't know what happened.  I don't know why there are two posts of mine.  If the other one could be deleted...  JUst ignore the unfinished one.  Sorry!If you want to connect to Xbox Live using your neighbor's wireless signal, you will NEED to purchase an Xbox-branded Wireless Adapter.

Hi all.  I'm trying to get my Xbox on Live, but I need some help.  My CURRENT network is a little different than most peoples.  I am borrowing the internet from my neighbor DOWNSTAIRS (I'm not stealing it, he knows and doesn't CARE)How do you have your Xbox connected to your NEIGHBORS network?

We are trying to configure the speed on one of our T-1 CSU cards.  I am able to connect via the Supervisor port, but I am unable to change to the card that I am needing to configure.  For EXAMPLE, when I first Hyperterminal into the BOX, the card that shows is card 07.  I try to change to card 15 and it just STAYS on card 07. 
I have restarted the unit, but I am still unable to change cards.  Any ideas? 

THANKS AHEAD for any help.

Just got through reimaging a Presario sr1920nx - Store bought-XP home. TRYING to install all necessary drivers. Tried the HP driver dload SITE to no avail.

I have a computer with XP Home that I share some files on my network.
I have used a laptop with xp home with my logon and been able to access the files on my network.  I got a new laptop with windows 7 home premium and I can see the files on my network, but when I try to map the drive I get a message that says network error: you do not have permission to access. I have check all of my sharing and I have network discovery on, file and printer sharing on, sharing in the public folders sharing section on, and password protected sharing on.  I TRIED the password protected sharing off and that didn't change anything. I have turned off my firewall, I still cannot map it. The laptop that has xp will connect with the same log on that I have on the windows 7 laptop. Any help please!
Are you having issues connecting from Win7 to XP or vice versa?

Which ever machine you are connecting FROM that gets the error message, means the security issue is on the OTHER machine.
So connecting from Win7 to XP and you get the error, then you need to check the file/folder sharing permissions on the XP machine.

Also check that all your computers are on the same network, if memory serves XP defaults to HOME and Win7 defaults to WORKGROUP.It is Windows 7 connecting to XP. I checked the XP machine and made sure the LOGIN had full control of the file I am trying to map.
I also checked to make sure they were on the same network. I have a laptop with XP on it and the same logon and it will connect and open the files, but the Windows 7 with the same logon gets the message that You Do Not Have Permission to Access.just checking but did you check the share permissions? There is a difference between share permissions and file and folder permissions.  I check both and they are set. I have a laptop with XP and it has the same logon and it connect fine.
Check your NTLM version settings on the Windows 7 machine.

To change the NTLM version in windows 7 follow this:
1. CLICK start
2. type gpedit.msc (if USING classic start menu click run then type gpedit.msc)
3. navigate to Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options
4. Scroll down the list until you see 'Network security: LAN Manager authentication level'
5. Double click and change the level to 'Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 SESSION security if negotiated'

I have a Cisco Valet Plus, I have the EASY SETUP KEY and the the Cisco Connection software installed on my lap top which is not build-in wireless. I want to INSTALL the Easy Setup Key on my desktop 1st, and have it wired through my desktop and use my LAPTOP for wireless with the Valet Connector adapter.
Do I need to reset the router back to factory settings. And start fresh. And DELETE the Cisco Connection software from my laptop. I did change the Valet Name and Password they GAVE me to something else.
Does anyone have the Cisco Valet Plus and can HELP me out?

Hey,

Unfortunately, you can't connect two different dial up accounts and connection in one phone line at the same time.
One computer is to one phone line is that ratio.
But you can set-up your brother's dial up account on your computer.
It's like having two dial up accounts or connection sharing in one computer and one phone line.

I think he means if there were a way to connect two computers to one internet connection like a router could do with a DSL broadband connection....
