PC will not 'see' Mac on the network wireless

I just installed a Linksys WRT54G Router, and created a home network, which includes free Wi - Fi for my MacBook Pro.  The ethernet connected PC does not 'see' the Mac.  I know they are connected from the Mac can access the internet and can see files in folder on my part that I installed on the PC (after I have provide the password).  I'm running VISTA on the PC.  The network is set up in a private capacity.  In the "Network and sharing" screens on the PC, the network discovery and file sharing are on.  I checked with my internet provider to ensure that their safety programs are not the issue and found that starting the PC in safe mode doesn't change anything.  The card network and sharing or full view map only shows the PC, the name of the network and the internet.  It never shows the Mac well that the Mac indicates the network name as its connection.  Can anyone help or is it a problem that can be a gazillion things?

  • OfficeJet 7410 will not log on to the network because I can't change the security from WEP to WPA 2 Protocol

    I have a Mac powerbook G4 running OS 10.4.11 and a Wireless N Router with WPA 2 security protection extreme Apple.  My Officejet 7410 has suddenly lost its ability to join the network.

    Whenever I try to run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the 7410, it detects my network as a network available to join, but then asks me to enter a WEP password.  I get my password, the rotation of the gears on the screen of the printer for a minute or two, and then it displays that it is unable to join the network.

    Since the extreme Apple uses WPA 2 security protocols, is the reason why the printer is not able to join the network because of his attempts to use WEP protocols?  I did a complete reset of Semi and then a full Reset, nothing helps.  I also tried selecting the option 'restore factory settings' menu without success.

    I am able to connect to the printer using a USB cable, but the reason I bought it in the first place was because of the freedom of its wifi capabilities.

    Any suggestions?

    My suggestions were a few ways to tell your printer on the network.  They are temporary connections used for this communication, and then are disconnected.  After this would connect you to your printer on your wireless network.

    I think I know the problem: after reading the manual (new) it is specifically stated that this printer supports WPA but not WPA2. So make sure your airport the most practical (and Express) are set to WPA/WPA2 Personal utility Airport (not WPA2 Personal).

    Your printer is probably the check on Airport Extreme and not the Express, so the Express in bridged mode is fine - you want only a DHCP service on your network, so looks like it is set up correctly.

  • P2V domain controller (for a test, the new virtual will not be connected to the network or used in production)

    I wanted to check that won't affect my physical domain controller by performing a P2V migration to this subject, we would like to P2V our current DC (in production) to put in our test environment, it's so we can simulate one pass from 2008 to 2012. I would just check that install VMWare converter and performing P2V migration on the active domain controller current WILL NOT affect our current physical machine.

    Can someone advise?

    DC and P2V = Don t do, since there is absolutely no guarantee that the DC P2Ved work. I had horrible experience during a migration of a data center to a new provider, the provider told us that P2V would be perfectly viable and that they had done several times. So ultimately they tested migration P2V, everything worked. Then, the day of the passage to the they did it again and AD did not come to the top. In the end we had to make a member server new rollback, as well as on the website of the provider and a classic dcpromo Setup does the job.

  • WRT600N - Wireless MAC Filter Table will not retain MAC for the Droid 2 phones

    Hello

    I have a Linksys WRT600N router and I succumbed adding our new Motorola Droid 2 to the MAC table on the Wireless Security tab.

    It allows access if I disable MAC filtering wireless and appears on the list of clients, but when I try to add the customer list or manually enter the MAC table, it does not retain it when I save it. The only thing that seems different from the MAC standard is the 1 byte

    (F8:7 B: 7 A: 76:98:22 is the MAC of my phone).

    I don't want to leave my network open and prefer to avoid using a WEP key if possible.

    Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or is this a bug? Y at - it a firmware update I have to apply to this effect in my MAC filter (current version is 1.01.36 build 3)?

    Oh and I'm not worried about hackers if as much as deterrence of neighbors stealing my bandwidth. To implement the keys on all my devices was too much time to consider unless a last resort. MAC filters make it also easier for me to add guests fairly quickly.

  • My printer will not be connected to the network

    I found a few options in the Advanced menu of the printer which can be useful for various network connectivity problems that are often overlooked.

    The provided screenshots are for a printer Envy 110 and an Officejet 6500 printer has, but many models in the same range of products have similar features.

    For starters, get the IP address of your printer and load the printer in a web browser by entering the IP address as a web address.

    Once it loads, you can get something similar to one of the screens below:

    New Photosmart printer or Envy series:

    To access this screen, navigate to network > advanced.

    OfficeJet series printer or older photosmart printer:

    To access this screen, navigate to network > advanced.

    There are a few options on this screen below that are of interest.  The photosmart screen has a 802 use behavior. 11b network infrastructure and use an infrastructure network 802. 11b / g behavior options.  The first option will tell the printer to only operate in B wireless settings and second options tells operate with wireless B and G parameters.

    Most routers are set to mixed mode which is B and G.  The second activation option can help maintain the wireless connection and is certainly worth trying to help eliminate some of the problems network there.

    The Officejet screen has another option which is not available on each printer: in a network ad hoc Act bound even if others are not present.  Activate this option, if any, can help keep the printer stay connected.  Curiously, I've seen a few posts that this setting has helped with an infrastructure facility despite what says the setting.

    I hope that this information will help you to solve and prevent some network problems.

  • I have a pavilion p6130fpc and it will not see the drives.

    I have a pavilion p6130fpc that will not see the drives. I tried 3 different hard drives and change the cable and port twice. I have also reset the BIOS and pressed the power button for five seconds after you disconnect without success. Someone at - it any other ideas?

    Willman,

    Unfortunately you are not alone. HP has sold a lot of different models with the M2N78 - motherboard. The problem is that the manufacturer of the Board of Directors (not HP) set up a controller chip NVidia which tended to overheat. Once this chip goes, ur stuck. The SATA ports are controlled by this chip.

  • iPhoto will not see all the pic. on the iPhone.

    After installing a new hard drive in the iMac, due to the failure of the original installed, I struggle with having on the iMac iPhoto to see pictures on my iPhone that are older than October 2014. Photos are visible on the iPhone, but iPhoto will not see them which allowed me to transfer and secure them on the iMac. The iPhone is connected to the iMac with a cable to the USB port. Thanks for supporting.

    iPhoto can only see the photos that are in the film.  The older photos have been synchronized to your iPhone using iTunes? Then you can download them in iPhoto. Sync photos from your computer to your device via iTunes - Apple Support iOS

    • You cannot re-import photos synced from your computer to your device to your computer. You can only import photos from your device, or record, in your device to your computer. If you need recover photos synced from your device, send photos of the unit yourself. Then download the photos from the emails on your computer.

    If the pictures are on the Filmstrip, but iPhoto does not always show them, try to upload them to launchinh Capture of Image. It is downloadable from your iPhone to a folder,

    Another reason for only a few photos in iPhoto could be iCloud photo library.  If iCloud photo library has been activated on your iPhone, you can only import those photos that have been uploaded to the iPhone, but not the photos in iCloud. If iCloud library is active, download from iCloud.
