Extension of the network - Novice needs help

I'd appreciate some tips with a change I need to do to my wireless network. I have now works well, but I am somewhat a novice to this.

My current network is composed of two computers. Computer A is a desktop computer connected to a router WRT54G2 wireless via patchcord. It is my main computer, used to create the network by using the CD that came with the router. Computer B is a laptop that connects to the network with a wireless WPC54G laptop adapter. Both computers are running Windows XP, and the network works well. The network uses WEP security.

I'm ready to add C of the computer to the network. Computer C is a desktop computer and will become my main computer. Computer C is also currently running Win XP. I want to connect it via patchcord to the router WRT54G2, replacement of computer A. I bought an adapter WUSB54GC USB to A computer to connect to the wireless network.

I don't know where to start. I first need to uninstall any software Linksys on both computers A & B to start all over again? Can I just unplug the computer from the router, plug computer C and continue? Any suggestions on how to approach this change without too much gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help.

There is no need to uninstall the software of the router from any computer.

You must connect the C computer to the router with a rope and connect computer A the card and install the installation for her disc.

  • OfficeJet L7590 cannot get network on the extension of the network installation

    I'm hoping to find help before I need to run 50' network cable lilou my living room.

    I have an Office Jet L7590 printer.  I've had it for a few years, and until recently had it put in place thanks to our home wifi wireless.  We have 3 computers that print to it, all equipped with Windows Vista, with no problems... until I had to rearrange my office at home for an adult child go back home (don't started even get me here, lol).

    Thus, the new agreement is that the printer is now connected to the Extender of wireless network that we have implemented because I wasn't getting a good signal in the living room of the wireless router.  Since we moved the printer it reads "printer offline" in my control panel.

    The printer works fine if I plug a network cable on the router instead of the extension of the network, so I know it works, but because it is now enjoyed away from the printer that the extension of the network, I really need to connect it all together.  I'm pretty much the only computer that connects to the Extender, the others are connected via the wifi router.

    I hope that I gave all the necessary information, if anyone can help me please... I got until Tuesday evening to figure this out before I have to pass the cable network around the living room!

    We had problem connecting printers wireless Extenders because it seems that the printers have a difficult time trying to determine which SSID to connect to your router since the and extension have the same SSID... right?  One thing that works is power line adapters.  This example uses the wiring in your House for the Ethernet connections.  Works very well and since printers are not nits, no need of a lightning speed fast.

    What may also work is a client bridge.   I wrote this a while ago and will work in the House very well with a wireless printer.

  • New Win 7 computer cannot access the IP address of the network printer. Help, please.

    Greetings,

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    UPDATE: we have found the solution to this problem, we, and that I posted an explanation as well as two ways to solve the problem in my 2nd post on May 5, 2015. Scroll down to it for the solution. Unfortunately, Microsoft does not allow the OP to mark one of their own messages as 'the Answer' so this thread continues to be listed as "no answer" when he actually answered me.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The original message follows...

    We cannot sign a new Win 7 (64-bit) computer to a printer ethernet established in our local network of 'working '. We have reached the limit of our troubleshooting skills and expertise assistance.

    Our Local network
    ------------------------
    The printer is a Dell 5100cn workgroup laser that is connected via an ethernet cable to a 10/100 workgroup switch 5-port Cisco/Linksys. The switch is connected to the built-in cable Motorola modem / 4 port gigabit router / WiFi access point. There is no server between the printer and the network.

    Other computers on the network run also Win 7 and have no trouble seeing and using the printer. Some computers are connected via a gigabit ethernet cable to the router Motorola. Other computers connect wireless WiFi (once again, by the same Motorola device). All computers, including the new ones, are attributed to the same workgroup.

    The printer has a static IP address. It also has an integrated Web page accessible within the network via a browser to view the status of the printer. All previous computers can view the status of the printer Web page by entering its IP address in a browser.

    The new Win 7 computer
    --------------------------------
    At the Windows command prompt, we successfully ping the IP address of the printer and received a return signal. However, we are unable to connect to the IP address of the printer (and status Web page) with a browser. And we cannot find the printer when install us the printer driver. We have tried to turn off the Windows Firewall and it did not help.

    When we install the driver, move us as a 'local' printer and create a new "Standard TCP/IP Port" for her. We enter the static IP address of the printer and name the port. Define us the Protocol to "LPR", enter the name of the queue ("lp") and activate SNMP State with name of the 'public' community and the index "1". These settings have worked very well with our previous computers.

    When the time comes to 'choose printer', we select 'have disk... '. ' and use the Dell 64-bit for this printer driver. But it does not work and do not print a test page. We even tried to install the printer as a 'network' printer driver, but it does not, either. In addition, the 'local' method always seemed to work best in the past.

    The new computer has no harm to see other computers and devices on the network. For example, there is a NAS connected to the same switch Cisco/Linksys like the printer and the computer can access the NAS via its static IP address. The new computer can also access the internet. He can't use the IP address of the printer. We even tried to change the address IP of the printer, but that did not help either.

    Despite the fact that the work - the network troubleshooter Windows command prompt ping indicates that the printer is not responding. What do we lack? Help, please.

    Greetings,

    I hope that this will be our last post on this subject. We have discovered the source of the problem and can offer two 'fixed' in case someone else runs into the same situation.

    With the help of MSConfig and a process of elimination, we have disabled non-Microsoft services that were running on the computer until we discovered that "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2" was the source of the problem.

    Explanation

    ----------------

    Our new Win 7 computer contains a communication module ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth e2200 Qualcomm Atheros. The manufacturer provides a '' Killer Network Manager '' for this system. Its purpose is to monitor and control the flow of data over a network connection in order to optimize for. For example, the user can choose to give the program A high priority and program-B low priority. This ensures that the program-A is less lag in the network traffic.

    The primary market for this function, so far, has been the online game (where the name of 'Killer'). It allows players to channel the bulk of the bandwidth available to their game and away from other programs and services that are running at the same time. A response faster online gives the player the advantage it needs to get "kill him" before someone else.

    This system of control of bandwidth has interfered with data packets of return of our network, clearing communication between our computer and our printer printer.

    Difficulty 1

    --------------

    The simplest solution for us was to disable 'Qualcomm Atheros bandwidth control' for the ethernet NIC that has been accomplished by going to: Windows Control Panel > network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > change the settings of the card (in the sidebar). Then we clicked on our connection to the LAN (our NETWORK ethernet card) and select the 'Properties' command Finally, on the Networking tab, we have disabled 'Qualcomm Atheros control bandwidth' and clicked 'OK' button to close.

    All that was needed after that was a quick restart and we were able to access our printer even with the killer Network Manager and functioning of Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2.

    Either way, we left the control function of bandwidth enabled for wireless (our) network connection because we do not plan on using this network printer when the computer is untethered to ethernet.

    Difficulty 2

    --------------

    If you don't want the killer running Network Manager on your computer, you may be tempted to uninstall. Do not! Uninstall will also uninstall the drivers needed for your ethernet, WiFi and possibly your Bluetooth as well. We heard that some users have communicated with Qualcomm and were able to coax, on their part, the necessary drivers comm without luggage "Killer". But you don't need to do it, either.

    All you need to do is: (1) remove the 'Killer Network Manager' of the '"start up" folder of the start menu of Windows (under "programs") and (2) using MSConfig, uncheck "Qualcomm Atheros Killer Service V2" under the ' Services ' section. Then reboot and you're good to go. The killer Network Manager and his service will not work.

    Moreover, the reason for which we did not chose this method, ourselves, is because we see one deserves that available Killer Network Manager so that we can block network traffic to select programs. Solution 1 converts this easy thing because the Ethernet bandwidth control can be quickly activated again if she is ever desired. And we're leaving it enabled for our WiFi.

  • RVS4000 private networking, establishment of local networks virtual need help!

    Hello

    I live in a two family dwelling house and we share a common Internet fiber connection. In the basement, we have a modem/router (zyxel) which is in mode "bridge."  Therefore, only not as DHCP.

    Behind this zyxel, we have a Cisco RVS4000 router. Ports 1 and 2 go to the family, and the Ports 3 and 4 go to the B family.

    Family A and B have separate routers which are both set to "access point mode. Family has a router ASUS RT-N66U, whereas family B has a dlink DIR-615. The asus has a point "access" mode, while the dlink must be configured manually to achieve this goal. The dlink must also have a static IP address. The asus can receive the ip address.

    I have tried without success to reach and beg currently to get help are separate networks for the two families can access Internet, but at the same time, it must be impossible to access VLAN1(Family A) from VLAN2(Family B) vice versa. Which means no communication between the two families through the local network.

    I tried different options but I don't know how to deal with the trunk, tag, no tagged etc etc etc. It seems every time that I managed to create two different networks there is accessability/communication between two VLANs, and whenever I managed to give different IP addresses for different ports, i.e. 192.168.10.xx and 192.168.2.xx it is always possible to communicate. What is also happening usually, it's that the Internet is interrupted at the same time.

    -What someone would be kind enough to help out me? Since I'm quite not seasoned networking, I need a detailed guide indicating all the actions that I take. If possible also with illustrations.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hi Andreas, there is no need to configure any trunks or tag all traffic for what you are trying to reach.  Circuits and the marking would be only required if family a (VLAN 1) or B (VLan 2) of the family set up the additional VLANs on their access points.  Lets say VLan1 of family and the family then wants a Setup VLan 3 and 4 of VLANs on their AP, then you would need to set the line going to the family as trunk and label all traffic.  If A family uses only 1 VLan, then it is useless to set up as a trunk line.

    I want to suggest to configure all 4 ports of the router as "Untagged" and disable routing between Vlan1 and Vlan2 InterVLan.  This should do what you're trying to do.

  • Deliver the addition of new set of switches stacked as an extension to the network in another data center building

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone can help me, I am a humble sysadmin with no real network admin training.

    I have the following Setup to work in a rack in our data center.

    2 x Dell Sonicwall NSA2400
    2 x stacked switches Dell Powerconnect N5524

    A Sonicwall is connected to each switch (active-passive)

    Every Dell server has 2 x nics in servile failover mode, one of each network card connected to each switch

    This is done to allow a full redundancy for network, cable, switches and Firewall interface cards. It works well.

    The above mentioned rack is now full and we ordered a new rack that is in a different datacenter of construction on the same site. We decided to buy another set of stacked switches and _extend_ (no battery) these via optical SPF on the rack on the other.

    The idea is that we still have the switch fault tolerance but link to two grids through 10 GB. The new switches are 2 x Dell Powerconnect N2048 and have been implemented stacked with any connected devices.

    I have implemented SPF ports on both switches to be a junction ports and connected the two sets of switches, unfortunately our site went offline, our alert went ballistic and no servers could not talk to each other!

    Quickly, I unplugged the new switches and after a worrisome 10 alerts deleted seconds and the site is back online.

    I don't know why this has happened and reflected on the STP parameters that my googleing seem well. I don't know I'm missing something basic.

    I'll post a framework and a diagram in a follow-up post

    Which is no doubt tree covering the shot weight. It is a good idea to assign lower priority to the main switch. Generally, your root switch will be the one that plugs into the firewall. Definition of priority on the main switch to 4096, it will make the root switch. So as you work your way through different layers of the network, increase the priority. Access layer switches can be left by default.

    I would also check the physical connections for loops. In situations where you have multiple connections switch, make sure that these ports are configured in a SHIFT.

    Keep us informed.

  • novice needs help: incompatible recording volume ("flutter")?

    Hi all

    I'm new to hearing and struggled with my recording quality: I'm on a new dual-core laptop Toshiba multimedia, Qosimio running under Win 7 (64-bit) and using a standard desktop microphone. I read the faq and help files on the record but still still puzzled about it. I would be very happy to help:

    During the recording of hearing music (for example: a strum of a guitar string), I get a sort of floating: I do not hear sound of the whole continuous string. There are subtle sound "dropouts" (as it has inconsistent volume). Now, I am new to this so I'm probably not using the correct terminology... so, I posted a wav file allows you to hear:

    http://home.Comcast.NET/~samiri/Director/trash/InconsistentAudio1.wav

    When you use this same microphone in my laptop aged PIV under Win XP, the recording quality is very good. Also, when I downloaded Audacity (a free audio program) I think I've heard the same heartbeat... so maybe there is a way I need to set preferences (input) of the record on this machine.

    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    [email protected]

    There is no way to get the audio quality using the interface of the laptop.  Those usually installed on laptops are not designed for something other than headphones microphone for Skype.

    The good news is that there is a huge choice in terms of an "external USB interface.  This is a base: http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/FastTrack.html

    However, there is a huge choice - for example, it has only one entrance of MIC.  Many have two or more, if it's never any use to you.  Your choice will depend on the features you need

    With respect to the correspondence of the sampling frequency, which is under Windows.  Go to control panel, and then click sound.  You should get a menu with tabs with 'Read' and 'registration '.  During playback, right-click on what you use for monitoring (probably pregnant), select 'Properties' and then 'Advanced '.  You will have a drop-down list offering a range of options... probably just use 44.1 kHz 16-bit (although you can experiment).  Go to the recording tab, right-click on your mic input, select properties and advanced again and put the same way.

    It's a pain to do.  W7 is not beautiful?

  • Several uses for the final product, need help with Render & output parameters

    Aloha, this is my 1st time in this forum... posted this question in Premier Pro and has been mentioned here.

    I created an effect straight project. I want to make four 4 very specific uses.  Unfortunately, I don't know anything about these formats to be given options in AE - CS4.  One of the many 'rendering settings' and 'output module' settings 'make model '.  This seems the best option for me given my future use: 1) for the DVD; (2) for electronic mail; (3) for YouTube. (4) my web site.  I read and reread the rendering and export options in the manual of use-AE CS4 without success in understanding what each option should be used for.  I need help in the translation of pixelpicker-talk.

    Can someone help me about these accurate "rendering settings" and "output module" parameters listed in AE in the option "make and model"?

    Thanks a lot... come visit the watrer is warm and clear as always.

    KonaDon

    I understand - I think the article using After Effects is a very complete resource, explaining the various features and their purposes. But the real world is full of special cases that are very difficult to address in a manual. In addition, it is a moving target. Different best options today probably the best choice, next year.

    Let's see if we can help here:

    1-. DVD: on the technical side, it is always MPEG-2. A very specific taste of MPEG-2. But while After Effects will let you export a file of this type (choosing the MPEG - 2 DVD is predefined in the output Module), it is also true that most of the applications (such as Adobe Encore DVD) DVD authoring are very friendly in terms of letting you wear one (ideally, uncompressed) Quicktime or AVI (which in no way is compatible DVD) and do the encoding in MPEG-2 for you. So it is up to you: you can encode EI using the preset DVD MPEG-2, or you can use an application of coding specialized (such as Adobe Media Encoder in stand-alone mode) or simply let the DVD authoring application do the encoding for you. This should be very simple and in this case, you can simply render a Quicktime or AVI file without loss (there is a model of output Module called "Lossless" who will take care of everything. You can use the default value, the 'best' model to make settings in most cases).

    2-. E-mail: on the one hand, you need something that is really light and as good quality as possible. In the other, you want something universal compatibility, which can be read in all or almost all computers. H264 (advanced version of MPEG-4) format is really good in terms of efficiency, but its ' adoption is perhaps not as widespread yet. Flash Video (FLV) is really good in this regard. In this case, you could choose Adobe Flash Video (FLV) as the format in the output Module and then choose preset FLV 'Flash 8 web small' for this purpose.

    3 YouTube: it's not that simple. The ideal format for YouTube is not quite exist, they insist on the re-encoding each file that you download, even if your file is technically identical in every way to their versions. So what you want here is something that looks good and it isn't huge to download. This all spells 'H264', in my opinion. The details depend on the question of if your Composition is HD or SD, 4:3 or 16:9, etc. Strange as it may seem, the big "iPod" preset for the format H264 is a good starting point. You can customize it to increase the speed of transmission a little (maybe 2 or 2.5 Mbps, against 1.5 Mbps).

    4 website: even once, you need something that most people already have in their computers. Flash Video is an excellent choice, since about 98 percent of users have the Flash plugin. But in this case, you can have more great heights and flow rates, so you can use the "Flash 8 big' defined by default as a starting point. Once the Flash 10 plugin (which now supports the H264 in addition FLV) spreads in the future, you could standardize on H264 in a delivery format, with different settings for each type of destination.

    I hope this helps.
