How To NOT Setup A Wireless Router?
Feb 20, 2006
I just got a Airlink101 wireless 4 port router (AR325W). $15.00 at fry's. Great buy, and had to get it.I want to just use the wired setup. Not the wireless.How do I turn off the wireless part. I do not want to use it yet, and I do not want anyone else to use my connection over the air. My home computers are already set up in a wired network. This is my first router, so I'm a bit unused to router jargin. I did a quick scan of the complete manual, and saw how to set up the wired and wireless part, but nothing about turning it off the wireless. Maybe it is as simple as not connecting the antenna. I don't know. Anyone have any thoughts?

I am hoping somebody on here will be able to help me. I just installed a wireless router so the kids could have the Internet on their computer. I went into the setup and set times to limit how late they could be on. When the time comes that they should be shut off the router disconnects them and then reconnects them shortly thereafter. I have it set to shut off at 9:00 p.m. and turned back on at 8:00 a.m.. I am using a Linksys systems router.

My problem is : When I called Verizon yesterday, I was told that to connect the printer to the router, I do not need the print server. I was asked to locate the ethernet port at the back of my printer, plug the ethernet port cable and connect it to the Verizon router. Unfortunately, my printer does not have an ethernet port. I was told to call HP,and I did but did not get much help.What should I do to get my wireless printer work? I have a PC and a laptop. Prior to Verizon, I have a DSL and Vonage, both routers and print server did not have the same problem.

I am running two computers(One PC and a Laptop, both on XP) on a small network. I have a Motorola Cable Modem, and a Motorola Wireless Router, which seems to be working fine. I can connect to the internet on the Laptop. However, the PC is the one that cannont. I'm not sure what is happening, but I've tried rebooting the PC and unpluging the modem for few seconds, but nothing yet. The Local Area Connection says-"Acquiring network address." And my IP address is currently 0.0.0.0

let me start by saying I have had a horrible time with wireless networks for my PC. I have a PC downstairs and a PC upstairs (they are about 10 feet apart through the floor). The PC downstairs is connected to the router/modem. I recently bought a new gateway adapter (Realtek RTL8185). I installed it and everything was fine. Now my problem is every 2 minutes it disconnects, but then reconnects right back (this is bad news for online gaming). The speed is okay, but I have tried reinstalling and everything. It works fine after a restart, but then it starts to disconnect/reconnect, and then just stop all together.

I am trying to run a system restore on one of my computers. I was trying to install a LinkSys wireless router on it. The router would start up fine, but after about 5 or 10 minutes, it would stop working and I would have no internet connection. I went and got a Dlink router, and thought I would do a system restore to before I attempted to put on the LinkSys router. The system restore has been running for more than an hour. The progress bar has gone about 80% and it seems nothing else is happening. I am fearful of turning off the machine in the middle of a restore.

Two computers both running windows XP. I just installed DSL and it came with a combo modem router from Embarq. I have everything working but the laptop's abiltiy to access files on the desktop. The wireless router acts as both internet access and WLAN hub I believe. I have tried for two days now and failed. Had a good thread here, but it lead me to Microsoft and new updates. After new updates lost thread. There is a site that has you fill out a form and try fixes, i was on that most of the day and learned a lot but still no resolution.

I have two PCs here that both have fresh installs of XP. One is XP w/ SP2 the other is a Compaq branded version. Neither machine will get on the net. They are both using a Cat5 Ethernet connection to a router. I can get to the net fine with my other PC which is connected to the same router. I can ping the router from either of the problem boxes, but can't get to the router setup page from the browser on either one. I am assuming that it is not spyware related, since the machines have never reached the net.I am sure this must been something small I have overlooked due to a brain fade.

We run Comcast high speed, two computers running though a router setup. My son "opened a port" to speed up his game play. My computer now crawls. Pages take too long to load, and I now sometimes get the server error message here, server not responding. Any idea what I can do. My son seems baffled, but I know he doesn't want to sacrifice his warp speed game play.

I took my daughters Gateway M320 laptop and did a restore from the CDs that came with the laptop. After doing all the Microsoft Updates, ALL the wireless driver installs from Gateway there is no 'Wireless Network Connection' icon. I have also checked Device Manager and there is no wireless adapter. Before this exercise she was running wireless fine. It does work 'hard wired' but no wireless icon.

We have two laptops and one wireless (HP Photosmart C7280) printer. Our laptops both connect to the internet wirelessly through a router. I was able to install and can print wirelessly from my laptop (a Mac) with no problems. However, we cannot figure out how to print wirelessly from my boyfriend's laptop (a Dell). We have installed the printer software and the printer itself on his laptop, and the laptop is able to identify the wireless printer over the network. We made sure that the printer is set to "online" and that file/printer sharing is turned on. But, whenever we go to print any kind of a file, we get an error message simply stating that the printer was unable to print and that we should run the troubleshooter. So, we run the troubleshooter, and we get this message:"The troubleshooter was not able to ping (detect a connection with) your print server. This might be the cause of the problem. Verify that your network is configured correctly and that you are connected to the network."
I am more used to working with Macs and my boyfriend is computer illiterate, so we're a bit lost as to what this means. I was able to set up a wireless network connection on his laptop, but beyond that I'm not sure what else to do. Most of the other advice I've seen online involves a wireless printer that is wired to one computer, and another laptop trying to wirelessly access that printer through the connected computer...if that makes any sense. Our printer isn't wired to anything, and we just can't figure out why it'll print wirelessly on the Mac but not on the Dell laptop. Any ideas?

Does anyone happen to know how to successfully create a network in Windows XP Pro for a wireless laptop and for an Ethernet-hooked-up (non-wireless) computer. I'm trying to printer and file share the two together BUT I've exhausted myself in trying to make it happen. Has anyone successfully done this? Am I missing something? Perhaps hardware?I would truly appreciate any help or advice.

If i log onto my computer and just go into network connections, the computer is not able to look for wireless networks. if i hit the button to find networks, it gives me some strange error message. i have noticed though that i can fix the problem if i manually go into services and start the wireless zero configuration service myself. i configured this service to start automatically, and to keep restarting if attempts to start fail, but for whatever reason, the service does not start on its own when i boot the computer. once i start the service, i am able to connect without any problems.
The error message i get says something about finding more than one wirless device. i have a belkin usb wireless card, and before i installed the one i have now, i had another that coincidentally was the same size and also made by belkin. thinking that maybe some software was still on the computer, causing it to find both, and consequently not being able to connect to either, i uninstalled all the software for both routers and deleted all the related program files off of the computer. then i reinstalled and...got the same exact problem.

I've setup Windows 2003 fax services on a W2K3 server and shared the device. I've tested faxing from Word on my PC and it works fine.However, when other users try to install the fax client, the setup hangs asking for the fx* setup files. I've tried different XPSP2 CDs, copying the files to a local directory, making sure that the users have local admin rights (and even domain admin rights) but to no avail. The files are already in the system32 directory so in theory the setup doesn't even need to copy them. Even if I delete them, it doesn't work.Our corporate SMS team reckons that there isn't any policy which could
cause the problem.

I mistakenly launched XP Setup and want to know how to stop it from progressing further. I have another XP installed on another virtual disk. Rebooting from there allowed me delete the Setup files. Or so I thought ! The main XP installation however continues to try to launch Setup. Just about whatever I do, it ends in tears. My question is how do I stop XP on this disk from thinking it has to launch Setup? I dont want to reinstall XP, as that will involve a huge amount of work to recreate my environment.

I'm having problems with my LAN connection and router.Although the LAN connection is connected and firewalled, the router is on with all the lights working, i cannot get on to the net. When I open my internet browser to go to a web page it begins to search for it, however then displays page cannot be displayed message and informs me that the server cannot be found or a DNS has occurred.Sometimes i get a bubble pop up saying limited or no connectivity.
Before the connection stopped working, my main computer was connected directly to the router and there were two laptops also using the router wirelessly. However now none of the computers can access the net The connection works if i remove the router and use a broadband modem.I cannot configure my router as no instructions came with it relating to its use and after numerous attempts at contacting the manufacturers

I've posted this on other forums but to date, no one has been able to help at all. And please read the whole thing as others have posted responses but they aren't relevant.I have a small home system, an XP SP3 desktop, a Win7 Laptop, a file server, and a LinkSys router WRT310N (my third router).The problems seem to occur on the XP desktop. Starting about nine months ago, http requests would become corrupted. Once when I tried to access a page on NYTIMES.COM, I got that page, but on the WASHINGTONTPOST.COM (page not found, of course). Now, about once a day or more, I get some sort of corruption. Mostly, I lose network mappings (I have a small home system); and also at the same time, I cannot get any documents via HTTP; or just some seemingly random sites, I get URL not found, or today, the comments on some blogs don't appear at all. USUALLY, rebooting fixes this, so I reboot several times a day.
THE Win7 Laptop NEVER has any problems. Both are wired into the router. When the problems occur, I cannot raise the router from the desktop; nor can I access any documents via HTTP even using IP addresses. I can however, ping successfully.ONCE I noticed that when the problem occurred, and my phone was using the wireless connection to the router, it too had the same problems with its browser. BUT the WIN7 Laptop never has any problems.I've used MALWAREBYTES and other Anti-virues, but they find nothing. I've tried repairing the stack with "netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt" but that doesn't work either.

I have 4 computers on a D-Link wireless router. My wife uses the wireless feature. All computers connect to the net flawlessly. The two downstairs computers are hardwired. One is a Pentium 120mh running Win98, the other is a P4 Running WinXP Pro. I started a Home network using the P4 and made up a Setup disk which I installed on the rest of the computers. The two downstairs computers and the wife's laptop all work with the network. A recently purchased Dell Dimension 3000 completes the system and it too was hardwired into the router but refuses to co-operate.It neither sees the work group or can be seen by the others. I have tried several things, including disabling the firewall, pinging seems to work fine. I tried contacting Dell, but that was a bust.
