  Hello

  Keep the changes and open the wireless. For example, to disable security in the router (turn on when to managed to connect).

  You can also try the wireless in a friends house, or an Internet café to get a frame of reference for this behavior elsewhere.

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

  Wi - Fi in general.

  These steps and tell us where is the breaking point.

  Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

  If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

  Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

  The wireless card drivers much also install utility wireless of the seller.

  Make sure that if there are teas from Wireless Utility of seller does not work with the native Windows wireless utility (Service WLAN).

  Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

  Some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled).

  If possible set up the firewall correctly, otherwise totally uninstall and get rid of its remaining processes that permit the own local network traffic flow.

  If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  party like Hello and NetMagic 3rd network managers can block local traffic too.

  Description is the data of the card making.

  The physical address is MAC of the card number.

  The xx must be a number between 0 and 255 (all xx even number).

  YY should be between 0 and 255

  ZZ should be between 0 and 255 (zz all the same number.)

  The date of the lease must be valid at the present time.

  * Note 1. IP that starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx isn't valid functional IP.

  * Note 2. There could be an IPv6 entries too. However, they are not functional for Internet or LAN traffic. They are necessary for Win 7 homegroup special configuration.

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

  A message in the small window that says connected wireless doesn't means that you are really a valid functional connection.

  Above everything is OK, you must be able to connect to the router.

  Connection to the router means that you can enter the IP of the router base in an address bar in one go, being able to connect and configure the router menus see.

  If it doesn't connect to the router, journal newspaper from any computer that can connect to the router wirelessly with a wire, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless SSID broadcast is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

  Enable security wireless after you eat to make a functional connection.

• With XP Pro SP3 and Win 7 x 64 network connectivity issues

  I have three computers on a home network via the connection to the router. Box 1 running XP Home. Box 2 XP Pro SP3 and the box I use is (my main box 3) running Windows 7 Pro x 64. In Norton 360 all the boxes appear. The Win 7 system does not appear in the local network on the two first machines. The software shows them as being shared and protected. Win 7 shows however all three machines appear in computer (win 7) and will not let me connect and I would like to receive files from the XP Home (box 1) machine. You cannot connect at all to the box to XP Pro from 1 or 3. When I try to connect to my main box 2 box I get this message

  "box2\ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. »

  Any ideas as to why XP Pro box are not accessible? As I said it has all the preferences enabled file sharing. The firewall is not the cause, and the antivirus is not the cause. I have disabled both to exclude it. I can use the utility to transfer files between machines 2 - 3 but that doesn't help me get the kind of access that I owe to my backup drives that are on the machine 2 (xp pro).

  It must be something simple that I forget (I hope)

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  I found the problem (s), even if I am always left with a few questions.

  During this process, I have disabled the firewall, but that did not help. However, I noticed 'tweaks' accessed via the tab 'Advanced' in 'Microsoft Firewall' which looked like, they must be checked in order to access the internet. I checked these and reintroduced the firewall. After I got things working, I unchecked them and things still worked so I obviously don't understand what these parameters.

  The solution:

  (1) I have to go straight from the modem cable to the computer. I can't have a cable modem, router wireless, computer, even if using hard wire, and even if this same configuration works with another computer. Also, I can't use a cable length to go from modem to the computer. So, it seems to have had a problem of cable length. Power problem? Only connected to this computer devices are the mouse, the keyboard and the Ethernet. Would not this be fixed with an upgrade of the power supply? Or is it due to the quality of the Ethernet hardware on the motherboard? It's a Dell Vostro 200.

  (2) in back and forth between configurations while following the problem, you must think to unplug the modem to reset between each configuration. You may have stumbled upon the solution, otherwise he's not shot. Also, I unplugged the cable from the modem when you reset data cable - do not know if it was necessary. I wanted to limit the degrees of freedom that I had a lot, as it was.

• Connectivity with AT & T-Motorola 3360 and Airport Extreme problems

  Bought a new extreme-Airport (7.7.3) to replace my old AE after 9 years of service.  The installation procedure, but could not get the airport to connect with my modem (Motorola 3360).  Called at & T and they crossed put me the modem in Bridge mode and which seemed to work.  But only temporarily (about 5 hours).  Restart the modem and the airport was not working.  Troubleshooting I tried to plug my MacBook directly into the modem, but even the computer couldn't get an internet connection.  Another call to AT & T and they reconfigure the modem to their end.  After 90 minutes and try everything they could, they have finally admitted defeat and told me that they could not solve the problem.

  However, after a fairly exhaustive search of this forum, seems to be two issues that many people is with Airport extreme.  One is that the modem (in this case a Motorola 3360) is perhaps not fully compatible with the airport.  The AT & T support person was not aware of this until I asked about it, so she did a quick search and was rather surprised to see that there is a lot of people having problems with the Motorola Modem.  She told me that they use no more Motorola modems but ship the 6200 of Netgear.  "All know issues?", I asked.  She sought and, to his surprise, even once, there was.

  So, first question.  Does anyone know a modem that is compatible with the airport or use one that they had to limit problems with?

  The second question prevailing seems to be with the IPv6 protocol.  Anyone know if there are problems with the AT & T IPv6 protocol and the most extreme airport?  I did not disable IPv6 yet to see if that helps.  I thought I'd ask here first.  Couldn't find anything on the AT & T site.

  When I return from the road (great place to go to get away from technology) I will make a new round of full power of all the components and try Setup again from scratch.

  Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Miss all know profanity.

  Thank you.

  Any other relevant information: 6.3.1 the utility Airport, Airport Extreme 7.7.3, MacBook Pro running 10.8.4, modem Motorola 3360, AT & T high speed DSL, shoe size 11-1/2 wide.

  When you have configured the 3360 as a 'bridge', this would mean that the AirPort Extreme should then be put in place to provide the PPPoE connection service. The airports are not known for their reliability in this type of installation... no matter the type of modem that you can select, so I drop this method as a connection option.

  If you want to keep the 3360... and you have time to experiment... then you can set the 3360 to its original default settings and configure the router from the airport most convenient to connect using DHCP in router Mode of DHCP and NAT.  That will produce what is called a message Double NAT, but maybe it's not of concern on a simple home network, and Apple provides you with the option 'Ignore' the Double NAT, so the airport will display a green light instead a light orange blinking slow.

  You need to try this configuration for a few days to see if the Double NAT will be a problem or not, because it is not possible to predict the effect of a Double NAT on a network... you have to test a few days see how things behave.  If this configuration works well, for you, then you can leave it as what.

  Please note that I do not recommend this type of installation, just suggesting it as an option this work could , if you want to keep the 3360.

  How Double NAT affect IPv6, I can't tell, since I did not use att for several years, and I'm not familiar with their implementation. On wired, IPv6 works fine on the airport with Comcast and Time Warner.  We can provide these parameters for you if want, but have no idea how well... (or if)... they will work with ATT.

  If the installation of Double NAT does not work, your best option would be to go there and get a modem/router or gateway to ATT device and then set up the most convenient airport in Bridge Mode works correctly with the modem/router ATT.  You will turn on the routing of ATT function in this type of installation, but the airport can also produce a signal from the wireless network that you can use.  The modem/router ATT will also provide a wireless signal that you could use for guests, or disable the feature, if you do not need two wireless networks.

  This may also be the best option if you want to configure IPv6 as IPv6 of ATT service must be compatible with the modems/routers and gateways.

• Connection printer square with Hotspot and Airport Extreme

  Hello

  My family has a joint small pizza and I'm looking to switch our POS system instead. We do not have WiFi, so I was wondering if there is a work around to use the personal hotspot feature, set the AXE to "Join a wireless network" and then connect the printer to the back of the AXE to print receipts and also to use the cash register. This is the kit of POS of the place...

  https://squareup.com/shop/bar-restaurant-iPad-mini

  Maybe get WiFi would be the best solution, but I just wanted to see if this is possible. I have connected the AXE to the personal hotspot, but can not get the printer to be visible by the Setup program in the dashboard square app.

  Any suggestion is appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Your link does not work for me.

  You should be aware that Apple has removed 'join a wireless network' option... it no longer works in all utilities V6 later.

  Even if you use later hardware will not work...

  It works on older when equipment... It has an unpleasant effect...

  The airport becomes a silent client on the network... the ethernet ports have been disabled... the only access was wireless.

  I have connected the AXE to the personal hotspot, but can not get the printer to be visible by the Setup program in the dashboard square app.

  Nothing is plugged in by ethernet will work in this configuration. (USB might work if.)

  Apple authorizes the express be used as a wireless bridge. It is called client mode.

  However, you can buy any other brand wireless bridge... There is no reason in this situation to buy apple products.

• IPv6 and AirPort Extreme Gen 5 connection drops

  My ISP is over native IPv6 but the AirPort Extreme (AE) abandons the connection every 30 minutes or more.

  I've tried different settings IPv6 and the only one that gave stable results is to:

  -Block all the incoming IPv6

  -Allow teredo and IPSec tunnels

  -IPv6 tunnel fashion game

  If IPv6 is set to native, airport utility shows the Internet connection disabled. So far with the tunnel mode, it seems to work. IPv6 - test.com results show 6to4 good feature as well.

  Someone else had problems with the products of the AE and IPv6 settings?

  He would have nothing to do with IPv6, but the problem was triggered by the latter.

  This modem do you have? Brand and model please.

  And who is your Internet provider because your Setup sounds weird... it should not be necessary to the IPv6 block.

• HELP linksys wireless USB adapter: (model # WUSB54GC) "acquiring network address" not actually connect to the internet! ?? Windows xp pro

  Hello. Ive been at this for 4 days now, I can't find a solution. I'll try to remember as much as possible regarding what ive tried.

  here goes...

  long story short, due to unfortunate system errors, I have reinstalled my OS XP home to xp pro. PC works great now! problem is... now my wireless adapter wont connect to the internet.

  When I had xp home edition installed, I could just plug in the adapter, and a few seconds, it would connect to the favorite network. (with all settings on Auto) no problem.

  now that ive put in OS, it's just cycling "absorbing the network address" infinitely...

  his watch the access point, the preferred network, showing the signal strength and do not show errors in Device Manager. right-click and choosing fix do not work. It gets stuck @ renewing IP address scene. its not send or receive packets under status.

  He EXPECTED to be functional? It uses a 10-digit WEP key.

  Ive tried both the linksys wireless monitor and the windows zero configuration utilites.i since removed the lynksys software screen because it never worked anyway. WZC is that used to work on xp family.

  I used " ipconfig/all" to determine the values of the network on the host pc. I tried manually punching in those values (IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings, according to the suggestion of a networking of friends) on the adapter wireless itself; using tci/ip options. still does not connect.

  Ive tried different USB ports, all that seems to do is to change the number of the wireless connection.

  It just does not connect to the internet.

  I have the driver I need for this after contacting linksys. I also disabled windows firewall and the firewall/antivirus of 3rd party associated with the network.

  He knows questions w / windows xp professional and this particular wireless adapter? (WUSB54GC) that's the only reason why I can think of that is not connected.

  what I forget? internet hard wiring of an ethernet port is not an option because there is no ethernet card installed in the pc.

  any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

  Thank you.

  Sorry it took so long for me to return.

  It was a setting under working group which had to be adjusted from reinstalling windows. (something that has been disabled I forgot, don't remember what it was since its been like 3 weeks)

  that he got the running dhcp... That is to say. allowed 4 dependence to work progrmas, boom, problem solved.

  the adapter now works with the automatic settings, using WEP encryption. as it should, and it was.

  Thank you very much for the replies, I appreciated the help.
