Cable networking computers add wireless internet is equal to the disaster?

We have a small office with three computers that are connected via a wired connection for the file and printer sharing.   We are in the country, so DSL or Fios or any kind of fast internet is not a possibility.  We have recently added AT & T Wi - Fi which is great, but you must disable the network connection to access the internet and, conversely, to print documents.  Is there a way to tell the wired connection it will be never used for the internet?  Or should we go 100% wireless is not to confuse the system?

When you say your 'network cable cross' your Linksys router, I guess you mean that each computer has a cable connected to the router and not that there is an Internet connection to the router (i.e., at the back of the router, plug with the yellow label 'Internet' is empty).  It seems, however, that you used to connect to the Internet through the router, and the remains of this configuration are the cause of the confusion.

I also note that the Linksys E-1000 is a wireless router; I guess you have this part of the router disabled (if not, see pages 19 and 20 of the user manual).

It seems also that if someone has attempted to address the issue by making your network adapters use static IP addresses (or fixed).  It's a good start, but more needs to be done.

The fundamental problem is that your Linksys router and the AT & T hotspot have the same local IP address, and each claims that it is the 'default gateway' to the Internet.  Because you use is no longer the Linksys router to do this, you must change several settings.

The first thing to do is to change the local IP address of the router.  See p. 16 of the User Guide.  You have a choice: you can either have two separate completely local networks (one wired and one wireless) or you can have them on the same network - but in this case, you need to be careful that your affected addresses manually are not incompatible with the IP addresses assigned automatically by the DHCP server in the AT & T hotspot.

Because you only have 3 computers (and possibly a printer network or 2) and the IP address manually-set from that you have watched seems to be far from the IP address automatically together on the USB adapter, we will stay with a single network, but first do the following research:

Run the command ipconfig/all on each of your computers and make a list of IP addresses for the connection to the Local network and the wireless network connection.  For the computer that you use to provide the above information, it is information that you need to write:

Connection to the LAN - IP address...: 192.168.1.149
Connection network wireless - IP address...: 192.168.1.6

You will notice that the first three sets of numbers in the two addresses are the same (192.168.1).  That's what I meant by "a network".  The important thing is that the fourth number MUST BE DIFFERENT for each device on the network.

If your printers are directly connected to the Linksys router and not connected to one of the computers and shared, you also need to know the IP addresses of printers (if you have wireless printers, you need to keep the Linksys Wireless, contrary to what I wrote above).  If you have wireless printers but don't know how to find their IP addresses, post back with the printer brand and model).

For the sake of discussion, I'll assume 3 wireless network connections and connections to the Local network 3 are 192.168.1.149, 192.168.1.150 and 192.168.1.151 192.168.1.4, 192.168.1.5 and 192.168.1.6.  The real numbers are not critical, as long as there is no overlap.

Later in the process, explained the s. 16 of the User Guide, change the IP address of the frouter Linksys to 192.168.1.1 to something relatively far from other addresses, for example, 192.168.1.200 (it must be less than 255).

Now, on each of the computers, follow these steps:

  • Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
  • Right-click on the connection to the Local network and select Properties
  • Select "Protocol Internet (TCP/IP)" and click on the properties button
  • In the 'Général' tab, the box 'use the following IP address' is probably already selected.  If this is not the case, check it.
  • If the "use the following IP address" was NOT previously selected, you will need to fill in the boxes.

The IP address must be the number you copied down earlier (for example, 192.168.1.149).
The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0.
Make sure the "Default gateway" box is empty.  It is important step.

  • Check "Use the following DNS server address."  Leave the boxes blank.
  • OK your way out

Restart each computer and things should work OK now.

  • Drivers to be used on networked computers that are not directly connected to the HP Laserjet M1536dnf MFP

    Hi, I had problems connecting to computers on the network for printer. The printer is HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf MFP. The computer that is connected to the printer directly via USB is fine. I downloaded solution complete driver installation on the site of hp, them and everything's fine. the problem is with the computers on the network, they cannot detect even the computer to add printer. And I have enabled file sharing and printer sharing advanced options of sharing on all computers. I also tried to install the same drivers I used on the local computer on the network computers, but its does not work. Please kindly advise me on which particular driver should I use or the solution.

    for this one, there was a simple solution... I forgot one small thing. After the installation of the complete solution from hp printer drivers on the computer connected to the printer via the usb port you then go to control panel > view devices and printers > click with the right button on active printer installed > printer properties > sharing > click on the list to the Director. that allows other computers on the network to view the printers.  was a bit stupid coz the solution was so simple.

  • Cable network office and scan between computers

    My wife and I share a multifunction Canon MP270 printer on our cable network.  I can print my documents on the printer that is connected to his computer.  It is running Microsoft XP Home edition and I have Windows 7 Professional.  I can't get the function scan on the printer to scan documents to files on my computer or as attachments to email.  His computer knows that mine is set for printing, but not scanner.  I need help on the configuration of the network on these two computers for the functions to work.  I have a router that connects them to each other and to the internet.

    This isn't a network issue but a scanner.

    With the exception of the 'network' scanners that connect directly to a router, many scanners can be shared on a network.  I guess the thinking is to go in person to the scanner to scan the document, what good share?

    Sometimes the software provided with the multifunction device will allow scanning over a network, but you must install the software on each machine.  I don't know if the Canon software does this (I don't think) or if it is still available in a version of Windows 7.

    As far as I KNOW, there is no native method of Windows XP to share a scanner connected by USB, but there are apparently third-party applications that claim to do: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xp+share+scanner+over+network

    A work-around (even if it is a little annoying) is to set up a shared folder on the XP machine and run the scans it there. You can then access the Win 7 machine files and copy them or attach them to e-mail.

  • Unable to connect to wireless internet at home and cannot renew IP address

    Here's the question:

    I have a few years old Toshiba Satelite laptop with Windows XP SP3. I recently took my office where he has been on the internet via an ethernet cable in the living room where I tried to connect to my wireless internet. It would connect, but says he has "limited connectivity or not." Perfectly fine, I can connect to my neighbor's wireless internet, my wife has the same computer exactly like me and connect to our wireless internet and the neighbour, and there is absolutely no problem with the intensity of the signal. I ran ipconfig and that's what he said:

    Ethernet connection to the Local network card:

    The connection-specific DNS suffix. : gateway.2wire.net

    IP address.  . .  . . .  .  . . .  . .  : 192.168.1.64

    When I just go to the login information and press 'Fix', it tells me that "Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the following action could not be completed: renewing your IP address."

    In addition, I don't know if it's important, but I have DSL service from AT & T with an AT & T 2Wire Gateway. If anyone has any ideas or ideas that could help me, please let me know. Thank you

    Well, I don't know what was wrong, but I got it working now. I just uninstalled and reinstalled all software or drivers or something that had nothing to do with wireless internet and it is now everything works fine.

  • Need help with the wireless internet Power Book G4

    Hi-I recently inherited a Power Book G4.  I have problems to connect to wireless internet.  According to the Profiler systems, it has an AirPort Extreme card, but there is no icon on the screen wireless.  Advice to connect would be appreciated!

    Thank you-

    Stephanie

    The icon in the menu bar can be hidden or displayed.  The setting is the system network preferences pane.  Where it says display, select AirPort.  There is a checkbox for the State of AirPort show the menu bar.  Since the AirPort icon in the menu bar, you can select the a local wireless network to join.

    This pane of system preferences, you can use the more specific configuration settings, although the default settings work often unless you use special parameters with your wireless router.

    AirPort Extreme Card maybe for 802.11b and gand not n.  If your wireless network is configured for 802.11n only, you will need to change this setting to allow to 802.11 g (on the wireless router).

  • Went from "Windows Media" to "Windows XP SP3". Now, I get "Error Message 871122" trying to get a wireless Internet connection.

    Here are the facts:

    1. to have access to the internet with a direct line to router Ethernet ONLY, but no wireless connection.
    2. verified Harware for "Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Net" - WORKS FINE.
    3 drivers for the cards above, have most recent downloads - WORKS FINE.
    4 activated the 'USE WINDOWS TO CONFIGURE MY WIRELESS NETWORK SETTINGS' button on the tab 'network connections'.

    In fact... impossible to find the above until that earlier. What happened immediately, is that I no longer get the "ERROR MESSAGE to SEE the ARTICLE ID: 871122" message. And instead, I could FIND my network. He finally has shown Up! However...

    Now, I clicked on my network and click 'CONNECT' and his request now a WEP key to be entered twice.

    So, I just need to get this 'key' to my Service provider and punch in, and it should work? Well, I'll try tomorrow.

  • Since the installation of El Capitan, I can't connect to shared on the network computers. I can see them, but when I try to connect it says connection failed. I can connect directly in Parallels using a shortcut.

    I can't connect to shared network computers. Not a problem already before the update to OS X El Capitan. The computers appear in the Finder under heading Shared, but when I try to connect it says connection failed. However, under Parallels Windows 7 I can properly connect via the shortcut or mapped drive. Any suggestions?

    El Capitan is a bit fussy about safety. Try

    Finder > go > connect to server...

    and enter the address of the server explicitly in the dialog box that appears.
