Solve : MFP Server setup to WRT54GL Router problem? |
|
Answer» All right, I have old HP Deskjet 812C USB printer that I want to connect to LevelOne WUS-3200 USB/MFP Server with an ethernet port, which is then connected to a Linksys WRT54GL Wireless router. I have the drivers for the printer and I can install them so that the Print Server can recognize the printer but before I can do that I have to make my Router recognize the Print Server. But apparently my router doesn't recognize the Print Server. The LAN light on the printer server comes one for a few seconds when I first connect the power (while connected to the router as well) but then it disappears. Now the manual included with Print Server states that for Wired CONNECTION I SIMPLY have to connect an Ethernet cable from the Print Server ethernet port to the Router's ethernet port and everything will be fine. But this is not the case, if any one could assist me on this matter it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.Quote from: Ironman on September 12, 2010, 09:01:20 PM All right, I have old HP Deskjet 812C USB printer that I want to connect to LevelOne WUS-3200 USB/MFP Server with an ethernet port, which is then connected to a Linksys WRT54GL Wireless router.

Hi, Ive been through a similar bunfight trying to connect a HP USB MFP to my network (with the same router as yours). I am not an expert by any means but I suggest you try and make your server visible to the network. I would reset the server to factory. If you dont know its default IP, then use a prog such as lan scanner to find it. Log on to the unit and make SURE its set to static IP, and that its subnet and IP is within your network range. Does your print server need software to connect it, mine does. hope this is some help? Sorry for replying so late, but can you please clarify on the steps to access the printer server? Should I attempt to connect it to my router and then try entering in the factory IP address in a internet browser or should I use a different method? Once again I apologize for replying so late.Hi, what you have to do is find the ip address for the server, I use lan scanner for my network. When you have the ip adress enter the servers config and set the ip address to a static one within your routers network range. I access my usb server from a browser but I have a media player which I have to access through a command prompt. Try the browser first. This is a link to a manual for it http://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBUQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fuk-download.level1.com%2Fmanual%2FWUS-3200.pdf&rct=j&q=wus-3200&ei=Ne7QTJqQBMSPceO-haQL&usg=AFQjCNGE-uHThbsdQNr_rf2t00DBmZ5jQg&cad=rja |

Solve : Internet Upload Speed? |

Answer» Quote from: Accessless on November 08, 2010, 03:38:13 PM I hate google. That's your right. But don't whine like a girl when you can't find things. Quote If you include the word "internet" or "broadband" in that SEARCH, it doesn't come up... ... and your point is? Poor wording, "I hate Google at times." there Fixed. My point is that why would including a word of reference e.g. internet or broadband (so the search engine looks for webpages relating to broadband or the internet) prevent pages pertaining to upload speeds for the internet?Quote from: Accessless on November 09, 2010, 08:57:00 AM My point is that why would including a word of reference e.g. internet or broadband (so the search engine looks for webpages relating to broadband or the internet) prevent pages pertaining to upload speeds for the internet? It doesn't "prevent" them. It just puts them further down the LIST of results. If you have Google's default of 10 results to a page you may not even see the ones you want. If you type in "broadband" and "internet", the search engine doesn't LOOK for pages "relating to" broadband or the internet, it isn't that smart. It looks for pages containing those words. If you want to know about Virginmedia upload and download speeds, typing "Virginmedia upload download speeds" will ensure that pages containing all four of those words are ranked at the top of your results. If you put in other words you are widening the search unnecessarily. |

Answer» Computer is Dell inspiron 14 with windows 7 and what I assume would be standard features (of interest, Dell 1397 Wireless G Mini-Card, according to Dell's website).

Normally when there are problems it will offer to run a troubleshooting program but it does not offer it in this case...2WIRE315 must be configured to ALLOW access to your Dell inspiron 14.hmm must have made a mistake on the encryption type, it was WPA2 and once I tried to manually connect to it under that designation it worked fine...

Solve : Tp link WiFi refuses to coey connection that lasts no more than operate? |
|
Answer» Ok, so I recently moved into an apartment in Thailand and the building only offers WiFi for internet service. No problem, I just buy a cheap wireless adapter and get online, right? well, I got online, on a totally shaky connection that last for no more than ten minutes at a time, effectively making and downloads such as windows update or steam games impossible. Basic browsing is awful as well. I bought a TP LINK model TL-WN353GD and ran the compatible drivers for windows 7. Poor signal, right? Well, thing is, my girlfriends laptop runs perfectly even sitting right next to the antenna for my card, no connection or slowdown problems whatsoever. My questions is, is this card garbage or am I doing something wrong? As always, all help is awesome and appreciated. |

Solve : lost contact? |
|
Answer» Hello Might be a fault in the cable. Have you tried replacing it? It could be the router. Have you tried switching ports on the routeryes .... OK Quote try a different routerA good IDEA. or I will try another computer. Quote Also, most routers have a light of some sort when a cable is plugged into it. If the light is on and not blinking, it's connected with no activity. If it's blinking, it's connected and it has activity. If it remains off, there is no connection.When the problem exists.the light is on and not blinkingYeah, a different computer with the same problem on the same cable would most likely indicate it is either the cable or the router. If the other computer works fine this way, there is most likely an ISSUE with the computer you're on. It will give us somewhere to start anyway. Don't forget to just try changing the cable, that might solve your issue without a lot of other fuss.The problem is ended after updating the network cardGood to hear that you got it solved. |

Solve : Is my connection safe??? |
|
Answer» I don't recall ever having noticed this until maybe about two weeks ago. When I start my laptop, it automatically connects to the Internet. However, I have now noticed that my connection is "unsecure." I read the little bit of info under the connection's name and it says that since it's unsecure, info I send may be viewable to others. What do I do now?? Can people see my passwords to MySpace, facebook, etc.? I have no idea. I use a laptop that is connected to the family computer downstairs. My mom is the one who did everything with our router and Internet set-up and whatnot, so I don't know any of it. I wouldn't be too concerned about outsiders "borrowing" our Internet, so long as they can't see anything we can see, i.e. passwords, bank info, etc. If anybody is using your connection, they will slow down yours, as well. Bearing in mind they aren't paying for it at all, that seems a bit unjust.Well, yes, that I would hope would be the worst of it. I just thought people may be able to see what we're doing online, since it says the unsecure connection would "allow info to be viewable by others."It just means that the data is being sent over the air unencrypted.What exactly does that mean? I hear that term often but I'm not sure what it is.anybody who REALLY wanted to could filter out your traffic from the air, log it, at some point later try to parse the data (trying to remove interference) and then try to make sense of the data stream. personally- if anybody was going to go to such trouble, they would probably go after somebody really rich. Also- banks, and other sensitive information IS encrypted via https, it just isn't encrypted by the router- hard to EXPLAIN... |

Solve : Laptop Wireless issues? |

Answer» My laptop cannot connect to the internet, let me tell you what I have tried and then you can tell me I'm stupid and tell me what I should have tried. The switch is turned on, my computer says my drivers are working PROPERLY. I have tried to reset my IP address and everytime I type ipconfig /release it says the requested operation requires evaluation. I have reset my modem, router, called my cable company. My laptop works when plugged into my router via Ethernet cable. My girlfriends computer can hook up to my wireless along with my ps3 and x360. I have taken my computer to my college where there is open wifi just to make sure, no connection. Don't jack someone Else's post. Your issue could be completely different then his even if you think that its not.You are the last one who should be telling anyone what to do here. Quote from: Allan on December 30, 2010, 10:30:06 AM You are the last one who should be telling anyone what to do here. What!? I'm only indicating that he should make a separate post so that his can be addressed in the correct manner.Phantom D, Have you tried a "repair" via your Net work connection icon on your task bar? truenorthI don't want to be a *censored*, but, is the wifi switched on, and enabled? Maybe a FN key press or a switch on the side of the laptop somewhere? Sounds like a hardware issue to me if you've taken it somewhere else and still can't find connections.If when you tried to do the ipconfig/release and appeared that it require elevation, it means that you shoud run as administrator, i dont know what kind of operating system you have, try this instead ipconfig/release, try netsh winsock reset and then restart your computer Let me know if that it worked! |

Solve : Laptop stopped connecting to home wireless network after a visit to wifi spot? |

Answer» HI, Tuesday my laptop was connecting fine to my home wireless network. Went out and connected to a coffee shop with no problems. Later that night at home I tried to get back on and can not. I have a Lenovo with Windows 7, using Chrome for my browser. Talked to ATT U-verse for an hour and they could not help after several attempts. I have had my router reset. went into cmd and checked my ip address. My control panel shows that EVERYTHING is connected and active but the internet will not load. I ALSO have McAfee that is CONTROLLING my firewall and for some reason I can not change the settings. Any further ideas or suggestions? Change the order of preferred networks? Maybe your laptop is still looking the coffee shop connection? Sorry I'm not familiar with Windows 7.You have a network icon in the lower right corner of your screen. Right? Do it have a red X on it? You should be able to click on it (might be right click) and view the available CONNECTIONS. What do you see there?Hi 1.- Go to control panel, network and sharing center, and then on youir left press Manage wireless networks,then on the open window youll see the option Manage wireless networks that use Below youll see Networks you can view,modify and reorder, select all of them and one by one remove them. 2.- On the right hand near the time, press on the computer icon and then you will see the networks near you, find your network, click on it and connect, add your security key and then connect, be sure that the on/off button wireless option is on the mode on, If that doesnt work, let me know, and i will try to give you further assistance....

Answer» I really appeciate any help with this.. For some reason my computer is connecting through the wireless connection.Is it a desktop? We used to have a Desktop computer RUNNING downstairs and is connected wired(LAN) and at the same time via wifi by a modem and wireless router because of an added wireless card installed,configured/enabled. Hi JASON thanks for responding Yes, the two computers are both desktops. I'd like for this one to not hook up with the wifi signal, and just go thru the wired route.. that WAY it doesnt take away the bandwidth of the signal.. but I dont understand how to do that thanks in advance.Quote from: SuzanneTexas on January 20, 2011, 09:19:50 PM Yes, the two computers are both desktops.OK, then just connect a cable to it. Quote from: SuzanneTexas on January 20, 2011, 09:19:50 PM that way it doesnt take away the bandwidth of the signal..I think that's not a significant issue. You'll probably notice no DIFFERENCE whether both computers are using a wireless connection or one is wired and one wireless. Quote I'd like for this one to not hook up with the wifi signal,Since you mention it was a desktop connecting at the same time on your router(wired,wireless)probably by an added wireless card, could you confirm this by looking at the notification bar/area for the status of these connections? If given you are both connected at the same time which is possible on a desktop and wants to be sure that there is no loss bandwith under this condition, run a speedtest by: 1. Remove LAN(wired) connection and used the wifi signal via the wireless card installed and run the speedtest and then check upload, download speed. 2. Connect the LAN connection and run both signals then run another speedtest, compare... 3. Then lastly, disable wireless card then used alone the LAN connection and run the speedtest and check the difference and look for any discrepancy while another machine is connected and using the bandwith by running ALSO a speedtest on this 3 conditions. |

Solve : Dual NIC Dynamic/Static Internet issue? |
|
Answer» Trying to figure out an issue with a Windows XP Pro SP3 system I have with Dual NICs. Problem is that if the 2nd NIC is enabled with local static IP, my browser is then unable to surf the internet. Its almost like the browser IE is trying to go through the 2nd NIC which has no gateway and no DNS. Do I REALLY need to specify for IE to use NIC 1 instead of NIC 2? I thought by default it should stick with the only gateway and DNS available? Reason for 2 NICs is to keep static private network (somewhat) isolated from regular dhcp dynamic network. This system is connected to my private network as well as my regular network used for internet access. Static private network is mainly for extra level of security and to be as isolated as possible from the WWW. I have been enabling and disabling the 2nd NIC in this system because having both live all the time would defeat the security purpose of dual NICs. Your suggestion that the 192.168.100.x could conflict is an interesting detail. I will drastically change the network to 130.0.0.x with subnet 255.255.255.0 and NO GATEWAY for Static IP configured NIC and see if that makes it behave better. The IP range won't be the problem, not with a 255.255.255.0 subnet.Quote from: Computer_Commando on January 17, 2011, 11:48:19 AM Don't know why you have 2 NICS, but I don't like the IP for NIC2. Sorry, I don't understand where you're coming from here. If OP has set the IP manually how could it assign a gateway? (I'm not trying to fight, I'm trying to understand your thought process)Sid... I think you are right on the money!!!, although still dont understand why IE would try to use a NIC with no gateway configured. With only one gateway present, it should just use that gateway no matter how many other network connections there are that are lacking a gateway config. But if the network speed rules out over the logic of a single gateway config then YOUR CORRECT. We will find out when I get home tonight and check this out. This below has a statement that might be the cause if it is an Automatic Metric Problem with XP. The local static network is screaming 1000mbps and the internet connection is going through a 100mbps NIC with a broadband connection of 20mbps down and 12mbps up. The automatic metric feature looking for the faster connection would pick the 2nd NIC which has no gateway and so internet connection with IE is broken with it enabled. The Automatic Metric feature can be useful when the routing table contains multiple routes for the same DESTINATION. For example, if you have a computer with a 10 megabit (Mb) network interface and a 100 Mb network interface, and the computer has a default gateway that is configured on both network interfaces, the Automatic Metric feature assigns a higher metric to the slower network interface. This feature can force all of the traffic that is destined for the Internet, for example, to use the fastest network interface that is available. The real test will be tonight when I go home and change the Advanced Metric as you suggested. Sure sounds like a valid cause!!! Here is the link for more info, in case anyone wants to read further about Automatic Metric's: HTTP://support.microsoft.com/kb/299540Oddly enough that is what it was. Automatic Metric was grabbing the faster GIGABIT network instead of the slower 100mbps network side with the gateway with broadband ISP. Many thanks!!!Quote from: DaveLembke on January 18, 2011, 11:14:50 PM Oddly enough that is what it was. Automatic Metric was grabbing the faster gigabit network instead of the slower 100mbps network side with the gateway with broadband ISP. Many thanks!!! No worries. I've had this happen to me a few times on servers as well. *Does victory dance* |

Solve : Wireless asking for Security Key when I have secuity disabled? |
|
Answer» Hi, we have 2 laptops in our home. One is slightly older, I had a new hard drive and WINDOWS reinstalled over the weekend. Its great, runs way faster but now when I try to connect it to our wireless it is asking for a security key to connect to our linksys. We do not have it set up to need a security key. I double checked with my other computer, went to the linksys settings page, and it still shows we have wireless security disabled and that laptop is connected just fine. What gives? Ive gotta get this other laptop connected again, its my sons, he's drivin me nuts about it! Yes its the same one, the list of available networks is the same on both computers. It just says its an open network on this computer and the same one is security enabled on the other one. Says (WPA2) on the one that wont connect while it doesnt say that on the other if that means anything. That laptop always connected fine before. Just figures, now that its got a new hard drive and 90% faster, it wont connect. Is there just the one network in both lists? It SEEMS ODD that one machine would pick it up as unsecured, and another as WPA2 secured. Have you tried MOVING the laptop closer to the wireless access point?Its pretty close. Now it says "Validating Identity" and a pop up window says "We could not locate the certificate to validate your identity". Whatever that means. I just contacted linksys and they wouldnt help me because my router model wasnt new enough. Great.Never mind! I went into properties of the lilnksys signal and it said IEEE 802.1x was enabled. I disabled it and now it works fine! Thanks for tryin! |

I have a Firewall and Anti-Virus, but if b...y chance the FREE internet signal was from a hacker, are they able to get into my COMPUTER or find out my passwords when I log into my sites like Facebook, or do online banking? I've heard of keylogging, etc, and that worries me, and I just want to be certain it's safe. I hope someone can answer my question. Thanks =)Unsafe networks means it's open for anyone |

Solve : m.yahoo.com? |
|
Answer» Anyone know how to block m.yahoo? I SUCCESSFULLY blocked it for a while by blocking all cookies from yahoo.com. But for the past week or so if I do this I can't access my e-mail. Blocking cookies from m.yahoo didn't work. I also went into security setting and listed m.yahoo.com as a blocked site. This did not work. If you go to address bar and remove the "m" it just comes right back. You can usually go to the bottom of the page and click "classic" but sometimes the page is configured differently and the classic option does not appear. From what I've read on other forums, this has been a problem for a while but yahoo MADE some change just recently to make it "impossible" to block. Any ideas? Using windows vista and firefox.Browse to m.yahoo.com in your browser. It should then redirect you to .m1.yahoo.com, i.e. for me it's ie.m1.yahoo.com. This is what you want to block. |

Solve : New router, lost ability to printer from laptop? |
|
Answer» I have a Dell Dimension 4700 desktop with an HP Deskjet 6540 printer and a router provided by Verizon, our local ISP. The router recently DIED (the radio stopped broadcasting a wireless signal) so they sent me a new one which I swapped out with no problem. I then Id'd the router on my Dell inspiron 1520 laptop, and was connected to the internet wirelessly with no problem. I then tried to print. I simply can't print from my laptop as I had previously done with no problem. I deleted the no longer working HP printer from my laptop list of printers and faxes, rebooted, and then tried to add a printer, but all the wizard could find was "Microsoft Windows Network", no printers. I then went to the desktop, re-ran the setup wizards for setting up a home network and a wireless network, and did the same thing on the laptop, and then tried to add a printer again, but the printer wizard only finds "Microsoft Windows Network". It doesn't find any printers. Any ideas as to why my laptop can no longer see the printer and/or how I can add the printer to my laptop? When I went into Mcafee on the desktop I saw that the ip address of the laptop was no longer listed. McAfee what? What type of component needed the IP Address - Firewall?McAfee is the anitvirus, spyware, etc. software I use on the desktop. It also controls access to my home network. If the ip address of the computer seeking to connect to the network isn't listed within McAfee, then McAfee won't allow that computer to see the network. Once I saw that the ip address of the laptop was not listed, it was clear why the laptop was not seeing the network - the McAfee software was blocking access. By adding the ip address as being a trusted address to McAfee, it immediately recognized the laptop and allowed access to the home network, and thus to the printer. Why it stopped recognizing the laptop when the router was changed remains the mystery, but as long as everything works, I don't really care.Okay, thanks for the response. |

Solve : Possible bad TCP/IP stack in Windows XP?? |
|
Answer» Thanks in advance for any help you all can offer me! My COMPUTER info is as follows: DSL Modem: Motorola (not sure of the model number)Get rid of it! @Geek-9pm Do you really think that would solve it? _______________________________________ Does the Wireless card work on another computer?Quote from: Ryder17z on October 27, 2009, 04:56:54 AM @Geek-9pm YES!My cable modem is a Motorola and I've yet to have a single problem with it. In either case I really don't see how the modem could have any bearing over the wireless connection to the router. Additionally I might add that this has nothing to do with the TCP stack; TCP works over the connection, but has nothing to do with it being activated/connected.just wondering if the system could be reacting this way due to being over clocked. Have you tried connecting the wireless to a different system? Also, Have you connected your computer directly to the router and or modem?Thanks for the replies. The adaptor works fine on another computer. I've tried 2 adaptors from 2 different manufacturers. Haven't tried connecting via Ethernet as that wouldn't do any good long term-- I need to connect this particular machine wirelessly. I did end up doing a reset for the TCP/IP stack... no luck with that either... Jeffit would let us know if there is an issue with getting out to the internet. have you checked the event viewer to see if there are issues with the system and hardware / software?Quote from: jeffa on October 27, 2009, 06:43:22 PM Thanks for the replies. tried this: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html Thanks for all the replies guys, I really appreciate it. I did end up figuring out the problem. Here's the solution for anyone who might come across this topic in a search: Turned out to be a virus that infects the master boot record, which is why none of the virus or spyware protection programs I used could detect it. I guess I would have needed a root kit cleaner for that. The virus, to the best that I can tell, was win32.mebroot.bz, and the way to get rid of it is to boot off of the Windows XP CD into the Windows recovery console and then run "fixmbr". I figured it out on a fluke. While I was backing up some of my data on an external hard drive I noticed that in the C:\Documents and Settings folder that two new user accounts were present: "HelpAssistant" and "HelpAssistant.THE-MONSTER". I googled this and eventually found another forum with a topic on the win32.mebroot.bz virus, which creates a HelpAssistant user account and then starts filling the temporary internet files folder. As my hard drive was spinning non-stop and a crashing issue had popped up, I looked at my C: properties I noticed that there were about 6 gigs less room than the day before, and I obviously hadn't downloaded anything large since my connection was dead. I put 2+2 together, ran fixmbr, deleted the bogus user accounts and that seems to have done the trick. No more hard drive spinning, no more crashes, and my wireless connection is back to functioning perfectly. Thanks again for the help... I hope this might be useful for anyone else that comes across this topic.Thank you for the information. Keywords: HelpAssistant, MBR, Virus, Wireless |

Solve : Website Speed Question? |
|
Answer» INSTEAD of using a web host which can get slow, or a expensive dedicated server from a host, I PLANNED to run it from home so streaming MPEG files can get faster. I can use YouTube but I have to wait until the end of March to SIGN up because of age restrictions, and some people may block it, like some schools. The ISP I use will get upgraded and it says on the webpage: Quote from http://www.optimum.com/order/boost/I know I can host my own website but I need to know if the speed is the downstream "30MBPS" or the upstream "5MBPS"? If you run a webserver, either from home or for a COMPANY, you should tell.If you ran a website from home, all of your site visitors would experience the 5mbps upload speed you are limited to.Quote from: michaewlewis on October 30, 2009, 10:59:11 AM If you ran a website from home, all of your site visitors would experience the 5mbps upload speed you are limited to.Thanks for the advice. I can stream files but as it gets popular. I now know that my downloading is not affected. If I upload something while my website is visited, uploading will get slow.Maybe I'm not reading your question right, but all your site visitors would be limited to the speeds of their local ISP. The faster your ISP CONNECTION is the less congestion and slow downs your site visitors would see but they will never go any faster than their local ISP's speed limits (you get what you pay for).The wording up to 5mb gives an indication that you may never achieve the 5mb upstream. |

Solve : Stable wired dsl modem/router combo? |

Answer» I'm looking for a stable MODEM/router combo as my wireless linksys 2,4mhz SPEED boost is dropping connectivity. DSL modem is a crappy one from ATT. The old westell I had for 8 years was the best in stability. Any suggestions on good stable combos without breaking the bank. Networking 3 stations cat5 cable hared wired and not wireless ( gamer). I WOULD GET a modem that does all 3 if your cable company allows it. I'm looking for a stable modem/router combo as my wireless linksys 2,4mhz speed boost is dropping connectivity. Are you running the latest or best firmware for that "wireless linksys" component?
