Need Help with a AirLinkPlus AR315W wireless router.

satan

I can connect fine through it with a cable, but anyone trying the wireless can't.

Anything I can have him check?

thanks

Loads

What channel are you broadcasting on?
SSID enabled?
Wireless mode? (g only, g and b)
WEP enabled?
What modes does the card support?
Range?

Does the card see the network, but just can't connect?

I don't even see him as a pc under the settings.=(
Only my PC showsup.

-is that the router assigned ip?
-does it show connected?

One of the biggest headaches I had was just the correct installation of the card on my notebook. Just kept forgetting to insert the card before booting up, instead of after, even though everything seemed to go fine as far as the drivers were concerned.

That's the generic MS IP assigned when dhcp fails.

He's on a notebook.

He did shutdown and restart.

/he's a senior database engineer. So doubt it's him.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!

He has 2 network connections, 1 only recieves, and one only sends, and he can't get a connection.

Also, He should be able to connect even when my PC is off right.?

says wep is off, but can't find where to enable it?

Give your router help line a call, heheheh

Makes me think of some problems I had when I first got my router. Called up Linksys hoping for some tips and tricks... ended up with a guy on the other end simply amazed that I was streaming video from my desktop onto my notebook. Geeez

well that's a good thing sort of... should be disabled by default on both ends. That way nobody is bound by matching up keys, etc.

Does his notebook see the network? What is your SSID name?

satan · **Posted:** Wed Aug 11, 2004 6:26 am **Post subject:**

I know, but it's after hours.

Should wep be enabled?
/just found it.

satan · **Posted:** Wed Aug 11, 2004 6:31 am **Post subject:**

Station Name = Untitled
Region = USA
SSID (Service Set Identifier) = default

His notebook doesn't see anything, he can't browse shit.

Access point is enabled also.

Even when I couldn't connect, I could aways see the broadcast SSID. If he can't see the wireless network as an availbe one to connect to... something not set up right, mode or something...

satan · **Posted:** Wed Aug 11, 2004 6:40 am **Post subject:**

he can't see shit, says he has a generic wireless adapter. so he's getting the same bramd as the router tomarrow to see if that works.

He said g and d should be fine.
/so not to change anything.

Oh well.

thanks for the time Kart, appreciate it.=)

no problem, wish I could have helped more...

My guess, its a compatability thing that should be solved by the new card...

:beerchug:

HEHE, just would be nice to only pay $10 a month for a 3mbit connection=)

These guys only browse, all the bandwidth will be mine.=)

omg, this is the nightmare scenario i suddenly have with my ipaq. At first it wouldn't work, blah blah, got it working somehow... then my ipaq had to be formatted, and now the damn thing just doesn't connect to my pc.

It's driving me nuts. For the record, my Ipaq gets that "fucked ass 169.xxx.xxx.xxx IP" too :matrix:

It should be simple, I mean I only need ad-hoc connection.

For the record WiFi is hella-gay :matrix:
