Printer configured for wired computers and wireless
Hello! Hope you can help me. We have a Photosmart C7280 printer all in one, which is currently connected wireless to a Cisco DCP3825 router that supports the wired computers and wireless. We have many laptops, wireless connection to the router, and anyone can print. I want to add in my HP desktop computer, which is not wireless. I plugged into the router via a cable and loaded the software of the printer, but the installation wizard could not find the printer to complete the entire upward. I unloaded all printer software until I tried it. In addition, I didn't know if I should choose a configuration of wired network or a wireless network configuration, so I tried both and neither one worked. I tried to look in the manual, but it was not useful. What is the best way to configure my network home, so we can print everything? Thanks in advance!
Your router will not worry how the devices are connected. Download and install the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page. When it installs it will see your printer on the network and install the appropriate software.

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.

Behind a firewall for Internet connections and wireless and inaccessible
My netbook (XP) was attacked by viruses and therefore the firewall has blocked the internet and wireless connections. I installed the new Norton protection and this shows the machine also Ok. Here's the question - how can I activate the connections again? I realize that he is probabl; is really easy, but I just can not understand. Your help is appreciated. Thank you, Steve.
You can try to disable the Windows Firewall:

If you have installed the new Norton protection, I don't think that you need more Windows Firewall.

NetBook displays 'Acquiring Network Address' constantly
Hi, I have a PC HP Mini 110-1004TU a Broadcom 802. 11b / g card WLAN.
Whenever I connect the unit displays 'Acquiring Network Address' even after the IP, it is asquired and I have full connectivity. It doesn't matter what WiFi access point it is.
It is under WinXP SP3 fully corrected.
I've updated the drivers Broadcom (sp45515.exe worm 4.0.100.1189 file) on the HP site week without result.
I get connectivity, is not a crucial issue, it's just a little embarrassing. Any suggestion is welcome.Check the settings of the connection. f it is in automatic mode, change it to manual. That should get rid of this message.
Let me know what happens.

Acquiring network address number
One of my users has a HP Pavilion notebook dv6000, XP Media Center Edition, SP3, MS updates to date. I cleaned the system of viruses, malware, spyware, adware are about 2 weeks and everything worked great - fast and efficient.
the problem is:
Users used the home laptop to connect to internet through their company of cable using DHCP, and the laptop had been works correctly after I had cleaned up two weeks ago. the user he brought him back to the office and said that it does not connect to the internet. I plugged the laptop in the network of companies and of course, it does not connect to the network. After running all software malware/virus/spyware/adware to see if something prevented the connection, and they came up with zippo.
because the laptop is set up for DHCP I thought I'll try static IP and it worked. I was able to connect to the internet, surfing etc. I went back to DHCP and still get to acquire network address and does not connect to the internet.Any ideas as to why it does not connect via DHCP. All my computers at the office work properly on DHCP. It's just the laptop which is seen the question... in our office and his home.
some added info:
I was told that his son installed Skype on the laptop after that I had cleaned the computer a couple of weeks. It is the only software that has been installed on the laptop on but the laptop was working fine, after that he installed Skype. Just for ha - ha's, I uninstalled Skype and usefulness of the tool bar to see if the connection to the internet would work with DHCP, but it has no effect.There is a wireless adapter to the laptop I have turn off and tried to get on the internet using DHCP, no luck.
First of all, make sure that your DHCP Service is running:
Start-> Run-> "services.msc".
Then, look for the line "DHCP Client" and ensure that its status is "started" and Startup Type is "automatic". Double-click it to change.
Second, make sure that there is no firewall blocking port 67 or 68 for DHCP.
Thirdly, try to reset your IP stack:
"How to reset the Protocol Internet (TCP/IP)"

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.

A computer refuses to acquire an address IP of WRT54GL
Hi, I just bought my WRT54GL today. I have 3 computers connected to the router:
Vista computer
Computer XP
Mac OSX computer
The router connects to a modem Arris cable provided by Road Runner.
Any Vista and XP is connected by wire and the Mac OSX to connect wireless. The Vista and Mac OS x have no problem to get an IP address and connect to the Internet. However the XP box is still blocked on "acquiring network address". I tried a couple things:
(1) I tried to use another ethernet cable
(2) I disconnected the Vista and Mac computers and has the XP computer to be the only computer connected to the router
(3) I have tried to unplug/plug the router for at least 1 minute
(4) I hit the reset button
(5) I tried disabling and enabling DHCP
However, he has no problem getting an IP address and connect to Internet when connected directly to the modem Arris cable. She has been driving me crazy all day. No idea why he refuses to acquire an IP of the router with a modem cable?
Thanks for reading this through and suggestions that you have to offer.
For ypur computer XP:
1. disable the Local Area Connection(Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections-Right click on the icon for Local area connection and click Disable), reastart computer, activate the local area Connection(Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections-Right click on the icon for Local area connection and click Disable)...
2. try another Ethernet cable.
3. try an other Ethernet Port.
4. download and update drivers for your Ethernet card.
5. PERFORMANCE of netsh command (click on start > all programs > Accessories > command, prompt in the command window, type netsh winsock reset prompt and press on enter) restart the computer and test the internet...
Provide a static ip address to connect to the local network - click on the Start button > settings > Panel > Network Connections - right click on the icon for the local area network connection and go to properties - in the "Général" tab select "TCP/IP Internet Protocol" and click on the properties button - select "use IP address following" - provide the IP - 192.168.1.5 subnet mask - 255.255.255.0, default gateway - 192.168.1.1 - favorite DNS 192.168.1.1 Alternate DNS - 4.2.2.2 > click the Ok button to save and click 'Close' on the main properties window.

WAG54GS allows wireless clients to connect but will not assign IP addresses for full connectivity
I have three XP 3 computers connected between them in a MS home network via a wired hub and access to the internet through a wired connection to a router WAG54GS. DHCP is enabled on the router, the IP addresses are correctly assigned and internet access to these computers Wired is not a problem.
In the past, I've connected also with success of laptops to the internet via the feature wireless router, but having not used that for a while, I think now it will not work. I tried to connect with laptop computers running XP 2 and Vista Home and the problem is the same. Laptops find broadcasting wireless router and connect but they are not assigned IP addresses during the phase of "Acquiring IP address" resulting in a "Limited or no connectivity message." Packets are sent to the router, but none are received in return. It is with the strength of the Signal at 73% and the quality of the link to 100%. Ipconfig displays no deafult assigned gateway and the IP auto configured to be 169.254.96.1 for example. Ping the router gives "Destination host unreachable". Not surprisingly, laptops are able to 'see' other computers wired on the MS. network These laptops connect correctly to the MS network and internet if I change the wired connection.
If I check the status of the network wireless router configuration good laptops MAC addresses are displayed, but the computer name and the IP address are missing. I usually use a protection WEP 128 bit on two channels 6 and 13, but it makes no difference if I change this without guarantee, once again the connection occurs, but no IP address is assigned. DHCP is enabled in the tab for basic configuration of router from 192.168.1.100 with selected up to 50 users DHCP (and DHCP works very well for cable customers). The IP address of the router is set to 192.168.1.2. Wi - Fi router is set to "allow everything". Default settings are used for the parameters wireless advanced, although I tried to reduce the 100 interbval tag at 50 and the RTS and Fragmentation threshold to 2304. The policy of Internet access on the router is disabled.
If I have (for purposes of testing only) connect laptops to one of my neighbors secure networks (there are several) to connect laptops very well so I can access the internet, DHCP works great on laptops. Firmware is v1.00.08 (I looked this modernization, but while I can identify my router version 1.2 downloads talk about types of Annex A and Annex B are mutually exclusive and I'm not clear I have. I am also doubtful as to if the firmware upgrade would make a difference, because there is no trace of the upgrade solve this kind of problem and I had the Wireless does not work if long ago). I'm running out of ideas, is there something that I missed?
Well in this case you can try to upgrade the firmware of your router, go to the website http://www.linksysbycisco.com/UK/en/support/WAG54GS/download...insert of your router model serach tab... select the correct version of your router... Download the firmware file... save this file on the desktop.
Follow these steps to upgrade the firmware of the device: -.
Open a page in Internet Explorer browser on a computer hard wired to the router...
In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1... Leave the name blank username & password use admin lowercase...
Click the 'Administration' tab - then click on the 'Upgrade Firmware' under the tab-here, click on 'Browse' and navigate the .bin firmware file and click on "Upgrade"...
Wait a few seconds until it shows that "the update is successful," after the upgrade of the firmware, click on "Reboot" and you will be returned to the same page OR it will say 'cannot display the Page.Now reset your router:
Press and hold the button of reset for 30 seconds... Release the reset button... Unplug the power cable from your router, wait 30 seconds and reconnect the power cable... Now re - configure your router...Once you re-configured settings of your router, and you are able to go online Wired computer, here are some settings that you can configure your wireless router, I think this might solve your problem
Open an Internet Explorer browser on your computer (desktop) wired page. In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1
Let the empty user name & password use admin lowercase...
For wireless settings, follow these steps: -.
Click on the Wireless tab
-Here, select manual configuration... Wireless network mode must be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the name box of the wireless network (SSID) in order to differentiate your network from your network of neighbors...-Set the Standard - 20 MHz Radio band and change the Standard channel to 11-2, 462 GHz... Wireless SSID broadcast should be enabled and then click on save settings...
Please take note of the name of the wireless network (SSID) because it's the network identifier...
For wireless security: -.
Click the sub-tab under wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the mode of WEP wireless security, encryption must be 64-bit. Let the empty password, do not type in anything... Under type of WEP Key 1 in all 10 numbers please (numbers only and no mailbox for example: your 10-digit phone number) and click on save settings... Please note the 1 WEP key as it comes to the security key for the wireless network...Click the settings advanced wireless
Change the interval of tag to 75 > change the Fragmentation threshold to 2304, change the RTS threshold to 2304 > click 'save settings '...
Now let's see if you can locate your wireless network and try to connect... And check if you are able to navigate. -
