Configure the router linksys on windows vista

Recently I bought a linksys wireless router and have problems when configuring it on windows vista home.

I have read many articles that while configuration that I need to connect the DSL modem (DSL in my case) to the router (WAN port) and also a thread more (that came with the router) to the laptop. If I connect my laptop with router then how is the wireless network or if it is required to do the installation?
Do I need a PC/laptop always connected with wireless router and then only I can take advantage of being wireless (I hope not)? When can I disconnect the cable between the router and the laptop and use internet as well?

The reason for asking this question, is that my laptop LAN port is not functional. If I use any other laptop for the initial setup and then use my laptop to connect to the router if it works without using b & w computer laptop and router connection?

I'm really a beginner for this please help.

Thank you

Hi, thanks for your answers.

I had a temporary cell phone to set up my wireless router. The question I m is that I can access internet from my lan from the dsl model cable but I can't access the internet when I connect the LAN to my wireless router and a join cable wireless router to my laptop.

While the configuration of the wireless router from the cd that I got with router reached the last step to find the internet connection and then pop up msg this router is not able to find the internet connection. What should I do?

I just saw a thread (http://forums.linksysbycisco.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&thread.id=58742&view=by_date_ascending&page=2) and cloned my mac but coldnt able address to make it work.

I'll post my ipconfig details in a moment.

    I don't know how to configure the router Linksys DD - WRT for WVC54GCA E4200. DD - WRT is very complcated. Help, please! Also, I used the TZO.com to the DDNS. Can I set up the DDNS for DD - WRT router? I used the DDNS to my old model router before. Thank you.

    Hi Majekho,

    Your domain name has decided to 99.245.xx.x. If you go to www.test.tzo.com from the location of the host, you must see this IP address. If these numbers are the same, then all with TZO works correctly. I guess that it is a simple problem with ports (80, 1024) is not open in the router and forwarded to the right internal IP address of the device (for example. 192.168.1.xxx).

    In addition, if you have a DSL, you will need to call your ISP and ask them to show you how to put your modem in "bridge mode". This will disable the firewall in the modem that blocks incoming connections even if you open ports in your router.
    In addition, during the test, it is best to test on your device remotely, this is due to a common problem called loopback with most routers. For more information about looping, take a look at:

  • Configure the router Cisco E2000 wireless for my laptop HP with Vista, I can't work.

    Configure the router Cisco E2000 wireless for my laptop HP with Vista, I can't work.  I spoke with Cisco and they said that my Atheros AR5007 adapter does not work with Cisco E2000 and contact my computer vendor

    Hello

    HM... I guess that the Cisco people know what they're taking everything. The AR5005 is a b/g card and there should be a good reason to not work with a router that is able (the E2000 is able g) g.

    This is HP drivers for the card, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=ob-55737-1

    If you can't make it work, you must decide between a new card or another router.

    Personally, if it's new and I could return it, I'd get a different router model. But YMMV

    Hello

    If Vista is preinstalled and is not bootable, contact the computer manufacturer and ask them.

    You should have a SN (serial number) on the case.

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

    And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  • Configuring the ACS server on windows server

    Hello

    I started to prepare my CCNA security and tried to configure AAA using ACS 4.2 on windows server 2003.

    I have configured the router to use the AAA authentication with the laboratory of cbtnuggets from ACS server.

    I checked the accessibility of the ACS server to client router and vice versa and also configuration.

    The problem is I'm not able to authenticate using ACS server, the router uses local authentication and I have no why the router communicates not eith ACS server.

    Help PLZ.

    Configuration of my router from AAA.

    ===============================================

    AAA new-model
    !
    !
    AAA authentication login default group Ganymede + local
    exact AAA authentication login group Ganymede + local
    AAA authorization exec default local

    RADIUS-server host 192.168.1.25 single-connection key ciscoacs--> (192.168.1.25 ACS, the key configured on the ACS server server is also ciscoacs)

    line vty 0 4
    exact connection authentication

    ================================================

    I created a user on ACS server and I believe that when I'm trying to telnet to the router I should use the user name and password configured on the ACS server.

    When I try to use, authentication fails, and also if the router accepts locallly configured user details then I think there was no communication between the router and the other GANYMEDE ACS server + will be used for authentication and if no communication between the router and acs server then only it should be the responsibility of local user

    Please help me.

  • Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows vista?

    Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows Vista?

    Hello

    I m not very well, but maybe you have more than 3 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit.
    Usually the 32 bit OS is capable to manage and send only 3.2 GB.
    The more than 3.2 GB RAM will not operating system used and therefore would not increase the index
    In addition the laptop will be not really faster after upgrading RAM. You will notice better performance using applications at the same time, but this does not affect the index of Vista.
    But this is only my personal hypothesis.
