I removed the latest driver for the DWA-645 card, and re-installed from
the CD, along with the D-link wireless utility.
I disabled the windows wireless zero configuration, and configured the
encryption to WPA2-PSK (AES), with now a perfectly working setup and no
more warning bubbles. And 300Mbps is availbale even with WPA-PSK (TKIP)
now, while it sed to fall back to 54 Mbps with the "latest driver" from
D-link
Finland.
Thanks to all for your input.

Lorenzo,
You write that you are using "WPA-PSK with EAS encryption (WPA2)."
Although WPA-PSK with AES encryption uses the encryption algorithm
specified for WPA2, it does not have all of the security features of
WPA2. There is no reason I know of why WPA-PSK (AES) should be looking
for a certificate (certificates should only be required when using
WPA-Enterprise), however, if you do not have an option in Wireless Zero
Configuration for WPA2, you should download and install
Wireless Client Update for Windows XP with Service Pack 2
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=917021
Alternatively, use the configuration utility for your wireless adapter.
Be sure to disable WZC if you do this. There may be an option in the
mfr's utility that will do this for you, or you will have to do it
manually, such as described at http://www.ezlan.net/wzc.html
In addition, both ends of your wireless connection -- router and adapter
-- need to have the same security configuration. In addition to making
sure that your adapter is set to use WPA-PSK (AES) (or WPA2-PSK), you
also need to make sure that your DIR-655 is not configured to use
WPA2-Enterprise. Double check this in the configuration utility of your
DIR-655.

Assuming that you don't have a separate authentication server (RADIUS),
uncheck the box to use 802.1x authentication on the "Authentication" tab
of the Properties dialog for your wireless network.

Check the wireless settings in the router's configuration utility and
make sure that it is set to "G-only".

I will have a look at all of these links and information in the next few
days. We will see if I can fix the problem with your tips (Hope so!).
I just wondered why my PC (XP Prof.) can connect that easy, and the one of
my friend (Xp Home) not. Very confusing?!

Unlike you, I've having a great experience here (but have the newer

The N standard is still very new, so experiences vary, unfortunately.
Also it is *way* more complex than G. It will take the industry some time to
do it right, and for the Wi-Fi alliance to prepare .11n certification tests.

The 802.11n standard is not quite a standard yet. From the IEEE, status
of the 802.11n project:
http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/Reports/tgn_update.htm
March 2007,
Orlando,
Florida,
US
TGn Draft 2.0 was approved in the working group letter ballot that was
authorized at the
London
interim meeting.
Of the 325 eligible voters in this ballot group, 231 voted affirmative,
46 negative, and 28 abstained. This resulted in a 94.2% return ratio,
exceeding the 50% minimum requirement, and a 83.4% affirmative vote,
exceeding the 75% necessary to affirm a draft.
Work now proceeds to the resolution of the 3076 unique comments (1635
technical, 1441 editorial) that accompanied the vote on draft 2.0. It is
expected that the comment resolutions will be completed by September at
which time TGn Draft 3.0 will be prepared and released for a
recirculation ballot.

Yep, you're right. We developers believe that the standard
is "almost" closed and nothing keeps us from delivering products -
but there is a true saying that devil is in details....

Like Apple using both the ISM and U-NII bands in their pre-n Airport
Extremes, while all the others I've seen use only the ISM band in their

All I wanted to say is that N technology is much more complex
than the previous, it will need much more work and testing
( all this under fierce cost pressure and competition...).
The N is based on a number of new technologies; anyone can make
a product that utilises one of them and call it "pre-N".
A certain part of customers wants to adopt this
early, and _does know where they go_.
Experiences of early adopters are very important -
but their failures can as well damage the reputation of
completely N compatible products when they are available.
We can't expect from salespersons in stores to know how
a certain pre-N device is close to the "real" spec, and how
it will work with another vendor's devices.
The wi-fi N logo will be (kind of) warranty of customer satisfaction.

the logo certification will be on the specific firmware submitted at

Thank you all for your support and suggestions.
I am quite happy with the router, it's the NICs I am blaming. When using
the older DWL-650G (108Mbps, not MIMO !!!), the signal is strong and
steady, and data transfers from a wired computer to the wireless laptop
are as good as can be expected. As the same spot the 802.11n card only
picks a weak signal, or the signal is rated "good", but transfers are
painfully slow or irregular. Still waiting for my DWA-652...
Jack, on the link you suggested, the section on n-draft starts with
"pre-N Wireless (Aka MIMO)". I thought MIMO was something also intended
for 802.11g networks, allowing some more bandwidth, but not a synonym
for pre-N ?
Does anyone have a good link about the antennas on common wlan routers ?
Structure, how the signal intensity is measured, etc... ? Just out of
curiosity...

According to D-Link, the draft N DIR 655 is Draft 2.0 N compatible
with the 1.03 firmware (press release yesterday) and I'm checking to
see if the Atheros driver on Windows Update from 5/6 is the
corresponding piece for the DLink draft N NICs. DLink has stated
that this gear will be 3.0 upgradeable (which remains to be seen of
course, but so far, so good). It is a risk diving off the edge, no
question.

Braving the warnings about the 1.03 firmware being only for the
US
version of the DIR-655, I upgraded it and restored the settings from a
backup without any problem.
I notice a few differences here and there, such as the ability to more
specifically select the mixture of standards (b/g/n), and the choices of
encryption TKIP and/or AES.
On the DHCP server page, there are apparently new options for
configuring NETBIOS, and an anti-spoof function in the firewall page. In
the advanced wireless settings, L2 isolation can be checked to
associated wireless clients from communicating with each other. I also
noticed the Windows update about the DWA-645 card and applied it, what
do I have to lose anyway ?
All in all, absolutely no difference. With the router upstairs and the
laptop downstairs in the worst spot, I get a 300Mbps with "good" signal
but lousy 1MB/sec with the wireless "n" card, while the "g" card gives
an excellent 54MBps 3-4 MB/sec steady. Go wonder.

You need special server setting to use 802.1x, logging with 802.1x depends

It sounds as if you have two separate wireless local networks:
1. cable box to wireless router to to wifi-equipped kid's laptops
and
2. DSL modem to wireless router to switch to two printers, study
computer and Dad's wifi-equipped notebook.
Why don't the kids just connect to wifi network 2 when they want to print?

Lem,
I agree your suggestion would work but the Cable router is some distance
away from the ADSL wiFi and rather than Access Points, it seemed top be an
option to somehow connect the two networks as they both have hardwired
connections.
I'm sure there is a way to achieve what I'm looking for?

Rob,
I'm not sure what it is that you're trying to achieve or what you mean
by "connect the two networks." If what you are thinking of is having
the kids send their print jobs out to the Internet through the cable ISP
connection, through the Internet cloud to your DSL ISP, and then back to
Dad's network where the printer is, there is more than one way to
achieve this. If that's not what you want to do, ignore the rest of
this post.
You could set up a VPN between your two networks. See, e.g.,
http://www.awprofessional.com/articles/article.asp?p=428701?
Or you could use Windows' Internet Protocol Printing feature. This
capability is available in Windows XP, although I personally have never
tried it.
Here's what Windows Help & Support says about IPP:
***********************
Connect to an Internet or intranet printer.
Using a printer?s URL allows you to connect to a printer across the
Internet, provided you have permission to use that printer. If you
cannot connect to the printer using the general URL format below, please
see your printer's documentation or contact your network administrator.
Click Connect to a printer on the Internet or on your intranet.
Type the URL to the printer using the following format:
http://printserver_name/Printers/share_name/.printer
************************
There are several steps.
First, you must install Windows Internet Information Service (IIS) on
the computer to which the printer is connected.
Next, you must be able to determine the public IP address of your DSL
connection. Because most DSL ISPs assign dynamic IP addresses, you can
either determine your current external IP by going to a website such as
http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ and then manually get this info from
Dad's computer to the kids' computer or you can use a dynamic DNS
service, such as DynDNS.
Finally, because Dad's computer is on a local network behind a router,
you must configure the router to not block the IPP protocol (TCP port
631) and to open or forward port TCP port 631 to the local IP address of
the Print Server.
All of that seems to me to be more trouble than it's worth, but if you
want to try it, there's a lot of info to be found by Googling for
"internet printing" or "internet printing protocol". Also look in Help
and Support and search the MS Knowledge Base.

Just get a linksys WRT54G at Best buy for $49.99 (Same price you'd pay for a
Wireless desktop card)
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.
jsp?skuId=5250774&type=product&id=1051384663529
And then a USB 54G device for the laptop.
Much better to do it this way, same price, better security, expandability
etc....

Hi
What the Name and Model number of the DSL Modem is? It might be a
Modem/Router combo and you are trying to connect a second Router to an
existing Router. If it is so you need to connect the Belkin as an Access
Point.

Granted that AOL does things in non-standard ways, sometimes limiting
you more than you would be with non-AOL ISPs, but nevertheless, if you
post the make/model of your DSL modem and your Belkin router, describe
how things are physically connected now (when things work), and explain
exactly what it is you want to accomplish, you may be able to do it
regardless of what AOL says. And what do you mean by being "on virgin
media"?

You may need to enable secure server option in the mail client. I believe it
needs to login with the same credentials on the outgoing mail sever to send
mail out when you are not connected to Comcast.

If the computer cannot connect to any preferred network, it will
automatically try to connect to networks that are around. It may end up
being connected to a unsecured malicious network.

But if you are in a uni or somewhere that has several access points around

The preferred network is at the SSID layer. There can be multiple access
points using the same SSID. For example, SSID "university" can have access
points "AP1", "AP2", etc. As long as "university" is your preferred network,
the computer can roam among "AP1", "AP2". You don't have to enable
"automatically connect to non-preferred networks".

I see, I am setting this laptop up for a user that has a laptop on our
domain and we are enforcing a wireless policy. we do not have that
option checked now so when they leave our campus they cannot connect.
It is my understanding if I enable this option, when they are on
campus it will go to the preferred network first. when they leave our
campus and are in a Hotel, Airport etc, it should find the next best
network, since it can't find the preferred network.

Re: Can I Repeat?

Hi
The data sheet of the product should state if it can act as a Repeater.
If it can not, you can lay a cable to a second location thta would allow
better transmission, and connect the Access Point to the main Router
(http://www.ezlan.net/Distance.html ). Cable connection works better since
you get the full bandwitdh of the Access Point (Repeater cuts it to half).

The problem probably is that the wireless adapter on the 2nd laptop
doesn't support WPA. See if there is a more recent driver available

I have two laptops one running XP the other Vista Home Premium. My network is
wireless through an Addon WBR9200 dsl router. The Xp laptop works perfectly
but the
Vista
one will connect via cable but not via wireless. It can see the
network but will not connect. IP address etc is set to automatic.

Hi
Could be that the Router is Not Vista compatible, check with the
manufacturer.

Hi
First make sure that your Wireless is configured and working correctly.
This page might help, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless.html
If every thing checks OK and it is not working then it might be incompatible
configuration between the Wireless parameters in the Wireless Router and the
Wireless client in the computer.

Hi
Make sure that your static IP is not in the range of the Router's DHCP.
Or switch off the DHCP in the Router if you are not using it.

Hi
You can use static IP as long as it not within the dynamic range.
E.g., if the Router is set to provide dynamic IP from 192.168.1.1 to
192.168.1.50 you have to use a static IP that is above 192.168.1.50

I have a wireless peer-to-peer network. It was working fine until
recently.
PC2 connects wirelessly fine to PC1, but now PC2 cannot open any web page.
I
tried turning off the firewall in both PCs to no avail. I even tried
restoring PC2 to an earlier check point.
Both PCs are running Windows XP SP2.
I'm not very techy. Can anyone suggest what might be the problem?

Hi
When each one connects what is the IP that it is connected with?
Try a static IPs.
May be the DHCP provides only one IP.

Hi Jack,
Maybe I did not put my words exactly, but the DHCP seems to be fine.
The dynamic IP addresses the two machines get from the router's DHCP server
are 192.168.0.186 and 192.168.0.191, respectively. (BTW, they also have
different local IPv6 addresses).
I also tried to set the same IPs to static - makes no difference.
Kind regards,
Wiilli

Hi
D-Link (and other brands as well) have problem with some of their older
Router.
Vista's
TCP/IP stack was revamp and some Routers can not deal with
it. Email D-Link might be that your Router (the Dl-524 is an old device)
falls into this category.

Re: Can't establish a connection to adhoc network and p2p programs

Hi
There is No Ad-Hoc Infrastrucre Network.
It is either Ad-HOC or Infrastructure. The typical Wireless connection is
infrastructure. If you would like an Ad-Hoc connection between two computers
both has to be configured to AD-Hoc independent form the regular Wireless
Network.
As for p2p, log to the p2p application's site and look for instructions
concerning port opening through Windows Firewall.

Hi jack
Im sorry , i meant i cant connect to a adhoc network not to an
infrastructure, i already set my IP manually in the same subnet group so that
my pc can be recognized by others but still i can't ping to the other
computer in the adhoc network. Is it because windows blocked my connection to
an adhoc network.
For the P2P program , although i had turn of windows firewall i still cannot
connect to the limewire network. Does an update in my windows block the
connection to both P2P connection?

Windows does not block Ad-Hoc connection. If the Firewall is Off, p2p or
other Internet related are Not blocked.
Unfortunately in order`to further help you need to describe better your
system, the Internet connection and how it is configured.

Hi
I already fix the problem with the adhoc network, yesterday i fix it using
the winsockxpfix patch, but is it normal if an adhoc connection is not stable
because there is only 2 computer connected to it?
For the limewire problem i still can't fix it, i use zone alarm firewall ,
Wndows XP SP2 and i have an aztech DSL600EU modem router connected to a
linksys wireless router wrt54g. My modem IP is 10.0.0.2 and my wireless
router IP is 192.168.0.1.

I checked out my second desktop and its shared files are accessible. I've
made no changes to either PCs network settings. Where can I go to to find the
network settings for both PCs?

Update. I found a Microsoft KB that suggested unsharing the folder and then
sharing it out again. I did this along with a warm boot before sharing again.
One folder is now appearing on the network. For the My Documents folder and
my USB external drive, I get the same error message as before, but now I'm
getting "The network path cannot be found" message.

Right. One folders on my primary PC are accessible as is the printer. The USB
external drive, and the My Douments and Documents folder are not. I get an
error message "Not enough server storage to process this command".
Also, when I open up My Network Places from my laptop, my primary and
secondary PCs show under "The Internet" with the laptop showing under the
"Local Network". When the network was working properly, all that would show
when I opened My Network Places was whichever computers were on, not every
computer and every shared folder / drive.
I'm so confused.

"IE6 won't connect" sounds to me as if you are not getting an Internet
connection.
There are several possible reasons for this. For example, there may be
a problem either in the router itself or in your connection to the
router. That's why Robear asked what happens if you connect directly to
your cable or DSL modem without using the router. The comment "the PC
Administrator's that connects directly, bypassing the modem...." isn't
clear. What do you mean?
What happens if you connect one of the computers to the WRT54GS (or your
new router) using an Ethernet cable rather than wifi? If this works, it
would at least eliminate numerous wifi-related issues.
In any event, however, the description of your difficulties happening
"one by one" to several laptops connected to your LAN suggests that you
may have a malware infestation of some type that has spread across your
LAN. See MS-MVP's Malke's excellent advice:
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
Once you are sure that you have (at least one) computer that is malware
free, see
http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/problems-with-lsp-winsock-layer-in.html
If your XP laptops are updated to service pack 2, I suggest starting
with method 6, followed by method 9, followed by method 3, and then the
rest (until things work).

Hi
If I.E6 does not start at all try this process,
http://www.ezlan.net/clean#refreshnet
If I.E. starts but does not open the Internet home page it might be that you
do not have a viable Wireless connection (even if it says somewhere that you
are connected).
To make sure that you actually have a Wireless connection to the Router,
start I.E. and type the local IP of the Router's menu system.
Linksys default IP is usually http://192.168.1.1
If you can not connect via I.E6 to the Router check your basic Wireless
settings, http://www.ezlan.net/wireless

Hi
Once you switch to Wireless the Printer probably becomes a Network Printer.
You have to install the Brother's Printing Network Drivers on all networked
computers.

Thank you for your advice. I had difficulty trying to find the network
drivers on the Brother web-site but their Help in
Switzerland
pointed me in
the right direction and I found it and installed it. Now works.
Thanks again

Computer A cannot see the workgroup. I get a message like:
"Workgroup Name" is not accessible. You may not have permission to use
this network resource.
I can ping A from B successfully, but I cannot ping B from A

Usually if one computer can ping another, then the reverse is also
true.)
Both are running xp. I'm using a Netgear wireless router.
Any suggestions?

I'm curious. If the screen is black (off), how do you know that power
remains on? Many if not all laptops will show a lit LED when connected
to the mains power (wall plug) to indicate that the battery is either
charging or completely charged. This doesn't mean that power is on to
the rest of the computer.

Supposing that it really is still operating, you can shut a laptop off by
removing the AC power supply plug from the laptop and then removing the
battery. It will quit working when it has no power from the AC charger and
when the battery is pulled out.

Hi
I doubt that you would find a fully functonal 3rd party printer server, may
be this, http://www.keyspan.com/products/usb/ps4a/homepage.spml email and
ask them, it is an expensive device.
There is a version of the printer MP800R that is Network ready, contact
Cannon may be there is an upgrade path to the Network module.
In general, http://www.ezlan.net/prtserver.html

Hello,
I have one ethernet NIC and one Wireless NIC in my notebook. When the
ethernet is connected I can access other computers shares, but when I'm
connected through the wireless NIC I can ping other computers but I cant
access to their shares. Apparently everything in the two NIC's configuration
is the same. Why does this happen? This is a freshly formated system.
Thanks.

Hi
All the Routers that I used (and I used many) allow you to log onto from any
computer, provided that only one computer at the time is logged to the menus
IP.
Could be that your Router has some security menu that allow configuration
from one computer only (IP or MAC controlled). Check the manual, and or
look over all menu entries.

For example, my :Linksys router can disable management by a wireless
connected computer.
Back to the OP's original question:
Do you mean that you are trying to logon to the router?
If so, what the router software wants is the username and password that you
setup when you configured the router. There is no necessary relationship
between your windows password and your router password.
As for the OP's second question:
The answer is that you can certainly take the router to another network.
However, if during the installation of the router software, you entered some
local network specific things (such as allowable MAC addresses), you are not
apt to get far.
The OP needs to determine what username and password was enabled for the
router during setup if for no other reason that things need to be changed

More than likely, the OP made no such change and these two items remain at
the factory defaults. The fine router manual should tell the OP what the
factory default management username is and what the factory default password
is.

Yeah I suspect the person who's connection you were having a lend of thought

Hi
If the office uses a different type of Network with special logon and
credentials, it would not work as is at home.
First check with the office's IT if you are allowed to add a new
configuration to the laptop.

Re: Connecting office laptop to my home wireless network

Thank you, Jack
I believe that the office network does use different logon and credentials,
however, the part-time office IT guy was supposed to have set up the laptop
to use on any number of networks as I travel frequently as part of my job and
my previous office laptop was able to logon anywhere. I can logon to the
wired network in the office where I am currently working, so I thought that
the problem only existed at home where I have a wireless network.
It would appear that he has not set up the new laptop properly. As I
haven't been in my own office for several weeks, I have not been able to get
him to sort it out yet.
The link that you provided gives me a clue as to what to do next and I will
follow through on my return home next week.

RE: Connecting Vista to XP.
Date:
04/15/2007 10:18:03
I have a similar problem. I'm trying to get the Vista laptop to read &
access the external hard drive that is connected the the XP host desktop.
The external hard drive is "shared" on the XP host and I did check the box to
allow others to access and change the shared file (the HD). The Vista
laptop
"sees" the external hard drive on the network, but cannot open it.
Everytime
I try to open the external hard drive from the Vista laptop, I get an error
message that says:
"\\SIDNEY001\WD External 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."
There is no "server" , it is just a home wireless network, and the Vista
laptop can currently see and access all of the other shared folders and files
on the XP desktop. It is only this external HD that is giving a problem.
This must be some simple fix that I am just not seeing. The HD was set up
and working fine last week, something must have changed, but I don't think I
did it.
Any ideas?

It says that my laptop is connected to the wireless network, but when I go
onto the internet, it does not allow me to and says "server cannot be found".
When I click repair for the connection, it only works sometimes and if it
does work, I am still not able to go on the Interent and even the AIM
service. My router works and it says that I have a strong connection.
Sometimes, it seems like the wireless network forgets the IP address and asks
for the WPA key code. What should I do to be able to get on the Internet,
AIM, and AOL? Does Firewall have anything to do with it?
P.S. What is a Subnet mask?

You may not actually be communicating with your router, notwithstanding
the "strong connection" indication.
Is this your own wireless network, and do you have physical access to
the router? If so, try connecting the laptop to the router using an
Ethernet cable. Can you connect to the Internet now?
Has this laptop EVER successfully connected (been able to surf the
Internet) through this wireless network? If so, what changed?
Are you sure that you are always connecting to the same wireless network
(i.e., is the network name (SSID) unique)?
What IP address is "forgotten"? What is the IP address of your laptop
when you think it is connected to the router? A subnet mask is used in
combination with an IP address to break up a larger network into smaller
"sub-networks." In the typical home network, the IP address will be in
the range 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.254 (192.168.0.255 may be
reserved) with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. This has only one
"sub-network" with the possibility of 254 computers. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnetwork

Re: Continuous TCP/IP error messages

Thanks Jack,
As I have no way of forcing the lock up TCP/IP event chains, this is
difficult to say, but I have just tried with Firefox as the default (screws
up all my links!) and note that the initial start up chain of events is the
same for this as it was for IE - ie with the same initial 'semaphore time
out' event before going on to establish the connection.
This latest development comes after problems with IE taking a long time to
open, that I have been being helped out with at AumHa here:
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=25147?
It may be that attempts to get to the bottom of the earlier problem have
caused the pc to pick up a new bug in the process - or this may have been
what has been causing the hold ups all along, with me only just beginning to
pick up the details.
The new message about exceeding the security limit of attempts is a new one
to me though, and I am baffled as to why, if this was a measure put into SP2
some time ago, it has not been triggered before - even when there has been
two hours of continuous TCP/IP events.
I am rather vague when it comes to ports and protocols, but as it does
appear that the 'security limit' feature was added to prevent take over by
diallers, and that the chain of events experienced during the PandaScan did
rather look like what one might expect from such a take over (though how
this 'dial up' would work through cable broadband I don't know).
I did browse a bit on the subject of the new error message and found various
threads of people with similar problems. One of them from last summer did
seem to indicate that pc's could be exploited through certain ports in ways
that were not detected by the antispyware progs. One seemed even to be
using MS own 'genuine advantage' feature to get in. Might we have picked
up
something like this?

S
