D-Link DIR-655 :: Networked HP 8450 Will Not Install?
Apr 4, 2012
Just purchased a DIR-655 Rev B router, old Belkin F5D9230-4 Died. Home Network wired and wireless. 2 XP desktops wired (one thru DIR-655 and the other thru an Ethernet switch unit (not a router)), iPad II, 1 XP Laptop used mostly wireless but at times wired, 1 Windows 7 laptop wireless, plus HP Photosmart 8450 wired thru switch. ISP is Starband satellite.
All was working great until I replaced the Belkin with the D-Link. I have lost the HP-8450 and have tried until the cows came home but it will not install from HP software from any computer on the network.
Long story short, I have a Asus CG5270 desktop with a cdrom that DOES NOT work and a hard drive that is totally wiped clean of any operating system. I also have a router and a perfectly working laptop with Windows 7 64bit home premium on it. I do not have a crossover cable or external hard drive. I have the recovery disk for the desktop which is Vista 64bit home premium SP1.Can I or can I not use the laptop to reinstall Vista on my desktop?I've found this question asked countless times in countless forums but also countless answers that do not answer the question for a person that is not a computer engineer.
I have 2 Windows 7 desktops that are both connected to seperate vonage boxes and those vonage boxes are connected to my D-Link DIR-655 router. That D-Link router is getting its connection from a Comcast router. I am looking to get one of the desktops to share a printer from the other one which has it hard wired via USB cable. When I first set this up I did not have the vonage boxes and the desktops were connected right into the router and everything worked fine. Now that the vonage boxes are in place it is a mess. I can get internet fine on both machines, but no file/printer sharing. I have followed all the steps to setup the correct workgroup and file and printer sharing options on both windows 7 machines but they cannot see each other at all. My feeling is that now that the vonage boxes are there that instead of the desktops looking at the D-Link router for its sharing option they are looking at the vonage boxes and that is why they cant be seen. Does this make sense? Is there a firewall on the vonage boxes stopping these two desktops from seeing each other? Do I have to change something on the D-Link router options for it to give access to the vonage boxes for these 2 machines to see each other for printer/file sharing?
My sister has a HP Photos-mart 8450 Printer that she wants to be wireless. Its a pretty nice printer. I'm sure she spent an arm and a leg when she bought it. Unfortunately it only has USB connectivity. She uses an apple laptop and I think she owns a PC running XP.
The last time I let someone remotely access my computer it crashed. I lost the cd from the purchase of DIR-615. Tried to install from website but it can not detect the router to configure it. What to do? Buy another router that is not utilizing India companies for customer support
I have been using the same wireless setup in my home for over a year. We have a Belkin Surf wireless router and an Arris modem from Comcast, using cable internet from Comcast. In the house, we have 5 devices that are set up to automatically connect wirelessly: iPhone 4, an old iPod touch, a MacBook Pro, a Toshiba laptop, and a Brother printer. Until recently, there has never been a problem with connectivity.
Lately, certain devices have been losing connection. For example, last night my husband and I were both using our laptops with no problems.This morning, his is connected and my iPhone is connected,but my Mac is not (I get a timeout error and am not connected to the internet). Sometimes it's his laptop that drops the connection. Other times it's my son's iPod or my iPhone. It is never all of the devices at once (something is always connected), and each device always recognizes the network as existing yet cannot connect to it.
I have also tried to change the channel that the router is set to, but that has not seemed to solve anything. The firmware is up to date. We are password protected in an area with few neighbors, and there never are any unknown devices connected when I check the client list for the router.
I have a home WI-FI network on windows 7 with an attached NAS drive for my media (plugged into the router).I was wondering how I would connect my work PC to the Wi-FI Network so it can access the media but disable the internet from only that PC.I have seen suggestions about blocking the work PC's IP in the router settings and something about MAC addresses, but was more hoping there was something simple I could disable in the network settings on the PC itself.
At one time this D-link adapter was installed on this same computer but somehow the drivers got deleted.I am trying to reinstall. The computer is running Windows XP Professional. I downloaded the driver from Dlink's web site and unzipped the files on the computer.The Ethernet Controller shows up in Device Manager with the yellow ? so I right click it and the click on Update Drivers. But when I tell it to install the drivers a window comes up saying it cannot install because it cannot find the necessary software.
Recently he was having connection issues so decided to upgrade firmware and for some reason he did it through the management console (clicked the update to have it download the new file automatically and instantly upgrade instead of doing it manually himself). Told him not to do that anymore. Anyway, it wiped the existing firmware obviously and did not update to the newest. I came over to find it wouldn't connect at all. I was able to get into the reset console (hold reset while powering on, manual set IP on computer to 192.168.0.2 and gateway to 192.168.0.1 an then pointed the browser to 192.168.0.1).This window shows the current firmware as version 1.0.0.1 dated in 2007.I had downloaded the version 3.0 firmware and the most recent version 3.13 and had them on a flash drive, dropped them on the hard drive and attempted to flash first the newest and then the 3. Neither one would take and the router remains down. The page itself never changed after hitting SEND to upload the firmware, the browser displayed a progress bar for "uploading" and hit 100% then just sat saying "waiting for response from 192.168.0.1" until the browser timed out after several minutes.
new computer installation. networked computers. one prints other doesn't. i downloaded driver on to problem computer. am not sure how to install it though. it doesn't appear anywhere once i downloaded it! windows 7 64 bit
I have several networked printers in my office. Two users stopped being able to print today to any of the networked printers. Everything else works fine. I have tried everything I can think of
I want to copy a font file from the Fonts Folder in networked PC (B) but can only see Documents Folder and subfolders. Windows 7 OS. I'm working in main PC (A) -- No monitor, mouse or keyboard connected in PC (B).
I have a router with a motorola cable modem connected to my linksys router. In this network I have a windows XP computer wirelessly connected to the router and a networked disk drive wired to the router through a netgear switch.I am trying to move a lot of files from the XP computer to the networked drive.Everything works great as it will move files for as long as everything is up and running. As soon as I attempt to change the status of the modem from on-line to off-line with the push button on top of the modem, my XP computer loses connection to the networked drive.Why is this happening? I would think the xp computer and network drive are below the modem inside the network so losing the internet connection from the modem should only affect the internet connection
I work at a small private school for languages and we have 3 public computers for the students to use for general stuff, internet research, facebook etc etc. Now every week i go to the comps and make sure their running well etc etc but every time there is new stupid things being installed by the students. Anyway, i wanna put a stop to this activity. the computers are not a toy for this lot but a tool and if they need a program for something to come and ask. As it stands the comps are all win 7, and are connected to the network via WIFI. the network is a simple zyxel router. There is another office comp connected to the router running Win XP pro and i also have a spare comp in the office which is unused.
I have networked two computer with printers attached to each. PC1 is with a brother printer attached PC2 with a HP 1100 attached.In the past I had no difficulty with networking the computers and have access from each computer to each of the printers.
I up graded the computer Susan and I am now having a few problems that I never had before.After I perform the Network Setup Wizard on each of the computers (in many different methods) I am having the following problems.First, every now and then I am getting the following message after double clicking on Entire Network then Microsoft Windows Network:
Entire Network Not enough storage is available to process this command.If I wait a few moments I will get the MSHOME and am allowed to click on that. After this I do see both guy and Susan. If I double click on guy I see items pop up. If I click on Susan I get the following message:
Susan 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.The network path is not found.Of course I can not add the printer from Susan either. Though I have had no problem adding the printer from guy to Susan. And it prints properly.
I have three machines that run dos5 and are unable to be networked (for various reasons). I am able to print the screen of each system but I want to share a printer amongst all of them. As it turns out they are on completely seperate sides of the room and a way to setup a seperate computer to act as a print server allowing me to do the following:
I have a setup with a Cisco RV042 router connected as follows: Broadband Motorola Surfboard -> Cisco RV042 -> Wireless Router [code] The Surfboard has a wireless N network, though the other wireless router runs on G for compatibility reasons.
The problem I am having is that I have a printer connected to a Windows computer on the wireless N router (with a static IP address), and I need computers on the G network to be able to use the shared printer. The printer is shared, though not through Home group.
On the other computers in the house (on the G network), I cannot see the server in the list of computers on the network, and I cannot seem to manually add the printer by typing in the IP address.
how can I get other computers to detect the server connected to the printer, or what IP address/port/URL do I specify to connect to a shared printer on that PC?
I am replacing an A3 that's slowing dying with a B1. I understand the Firmware versions are different but I was curious if I can save the config file from the A3 and load it into the B1 ? I don't know if the config file includes the Firmware....
I am trying to install the software for my router (on a Windows Vista Laptop) and everytime I get to the software install and it is detecting the network-and then the program freezes and my wireless adapter is turned off. I have to force quit the program and turn the adapter back on.
Region : Argentina Model : TL-WR1043ND Hardware Version : V1 Firmware Version : 3.13.12
I just got one of these to replace my old wrt54g. Seems to me a lot of people are flashing theirs with dd-wrt or openwrt. I was wondering why exactly. Unlike the old wrt54g, the tp-link stock firmware supports a lot of features in my view, especially the so wanted QOS. Do the CFW give the wr1043nd more stability or maybe better performance? Or is it about features? What features a CFW would add to the stock fw?
There would appear to be a general problem with printing from a wireless laptop, judging by the number I've come across in the search for a solution to my particular problem.My Set-up is:BT Home-Hub (up to 8 MBs Broadband DSL connection with outputs of two ethernet ports and Wifi, telephone and USB
- port 1 connected to Vista PC - port 2 connected to 8 port Netgear switch.
Netgear switch.
- port 1 input from BT Home Hub - port 2 connected to TV - port 3 connected to NAS - port 4 connected to Samsung CLP 620 ND colour laser - port 5 connected to this desktop PC (Win 7/64bit) - ports 5 to 8 as yet unused.
Other PCs
- desktop running XP SP3 connects through WiFi - old Toshiba laptop running XP SP 3 connects through WiFi - new HP laptop running Win 7 SP 1 connects through WiFi - Acer laptop running Win 7 SP1 connects through WiFi.(WiFi computers not necessarily connected all at the same time)
The issue.This desktop can print via the network..All XP pcs/laptops see the printer on the network and can print..The Win 7 laptops see the printer on the network, but when asked to print a test page, the document gets stuck in queue until it gives the Error - printing message. If the printer is sleeping, when the test page is sent, the Samsung print dialog panel on the laptop remains showing "Printer is sleeping..." as if no commands are being sent to the printer (and therefore why nothing prints). Cancelling the document returns the printer to normal - ie the exclam mark in the yellow triangle disappears and is replaced by a tick. When the laptop is shutdown, and then restarted maybe a day later, if the printer is on, it jumps into life and prints the test page from the laptop.I should add that the laptop is also part of the HOMEGROUP and can see the printer via this PC when this PC is on - and it can print via this PC in the HOMEGROUP. Both the problem laptops have the up to date Samsung drivers although it took an age to install - it seems to get stuck on the "Detecting TCP/IP Port" page and then goes to a page headed Additional port info required. On selecting Samsung Printer, it moves on to Detecting Driver Model, gets stuck there until it moves on to the old Add Printer dialog with Manufacturers in the left pane and printers in the right.
have a computer that connects to the internet via a wireless network connection. The router to which it connects is not physically available.I have a device that I want to connect to the internet. However, it is a wired device. The device cannot reach the wireless router that the computer connects to.Is there any way for the wired device to connect to the computer as an intermediary? The computer has a built in wired network card (as well as a USB wireless device that connects to the wifi router).
I have a new windows7 installed laptop. I couldnot connect to the networked computers which are in Windows XP. All printers and other pheripherals are connected to windows XP computer.I tried to connect even through wired router, still it doesnot detect the printer connected to the XP -Pc
I've recently bought a wdtv live streamer to play all my music and videos.
Firstly, my setup. Wdtv live connected via USB3 to 1tb wd elements hdd. Also connected via rj45 to router. Laptop on same network, but wireless.
My first question concerns transfer rates. When sending any kind of media to the networked drive from my laptop, I'm only getting transfer speeds of about. 2 mb/s. I thought I would get much more than this as when the wdtv streams to my iPad, it will need faster speeds than this.
The second question is just to make my life easier. Is there any way I can set up folders on my laptop to automatically sync with a chosen folder on the networked hdd? Just to save any effort on my part really
What I want is if I import a cd using iTunes into my library, it will automatically see it and copy it across to the hdd so I can play it over the network.
As an aside, would it be easier to store my whole iTunes library just on the networked drive?
Ok I have 8 computers 2 computer will have a camera attached to it importing photos as they are being shot. (2 photo stations) Trick is I need to transfer all photos taken in real time to the remaining 6 computers at the same time. What is the best way to do this and what software to export all photos to the six computers. I'm running windows 7. I set this up as a home group but it was really slow. When I tried to use a network printer it would freeze the network? I need it to monitor new files as the photos come in. Also all photos also need to be copied to 6 different computers so guest could access their photo on any computer.This is how I currently have it set up. I have 2 Computers with cameras attached that takes the photos and sends them to PC1 (My Server Computer) The server computer also has the network printer attached. Each photo is about 300K-500K size.
Different photo is transfer every 15 seconds. The server computer is also connected to the other 5 Computers. The guest goes to one of the computers, scans a card and their photo pops up which is located on the server computer, they also have an option to print the photo. The problem is when the guests scans their card the photo is very slow to pull up ( about 15-20 seconds ) Second is when they hit print it freezes up sometimes for up to 2 minutes. I connected as a home group and first did connection wireless Then connect everything through a Ethernet cord which speed it just a little not much. Questions Do I need a better server computer?
All of a sudden my browser wouldn't connect to any websites. Tried f.fox, IE and Chrome. But I could connect to the router and other devices, and another computer on the same router could connect to the internet. I use OpenDNS and started getting weird messages about my IP address being used by another user. I changed back to the ISP's DNS but it did not cure. In the end I used system restore back a couple of days and now all is well
(upstairs) Windows 7 64 bit pc (2year old), Netgear DGN2000 wireless modem/router, Seagate GoFlex Home NAS drive, D Link Powerline AV Network Kit,
(downstairs) D Link Powerline AV Network Kit, Yamaha RX-V671 AV Amp, Panasonic TX-P42V20B TV, TP-Link 5-port 10/100Mbps Desktop switch,
From the first time I set this up I have had problems in seeing all the folders I put onto the NAS drive for streaming to my TV and AV amp.Half of my music folders From the letter K upwards simply disappear from the menu view on my amp after I switch it off then back on the next time I want to listen to it. When I check the NAS drive on my PC, all the folders are still there but are not accessable downstairs on the amp.I can re-transfer the "missing" folders and it's fine till I next switch off and on again and its always from the same point that the folders are missing.The TV is also suffering from the same problems when I want to view photos and videos which are present in the drive upstairs but not visible on the menu on the TV (all missing on the TV!)Everything is connected with cat6 leads and I can stream internet radio (which is built into the amp) without any problems so it seems to me to be a communication problem between upstairs and downstairs.My house wiring has all the sockets on one ring main so that should be ok but I wondered if the router was not up to it with it not being a gigabit router.
I just bought a new D-Link N750 DIR-835 Dual Band Router, and I tried installing it to apparently no avail. I used the installation CD and followed all the instructions carefully throughout, but once it was "working," I did a speed test and saw that there was absolutely no difference in speed.
I refuse to believe that this new router, which cost me over $100, would provide no noticeable difference over my old router. Speaking of my old router, I have the original router that Telus sent me for free. It's a Siemens Gigaset SE567, and I've dealt with it a few times when I had internet problems,fiddling with the 192.168.0.1 web address site, configuring the passwords and SSID, and the like. I'm not super-educated on the matter,but I know enough about it that with a thorough explanation, I could probably perform whatever is necessary.
Anyways, like I said, I followed all the instructions and after testing out some simple Youtube videos on both my tablet and laptop, through the wireless network that resulted, it couldn't even load a 480p video without lagging. I know that the router isn't the only thing that ensures speed, but even with my (probably barebottom) internet plan (which my father set up, not me, and knowing my father, it's probably the slowest connection available), I just cannot believe that the resulting network was the best speed available to me. So did I do something wrong? Are the routers interfering with each other? Is that actually the best speed I can achieve? Is that Gigaset even a router? Or is it a modem? Or both?
I've been looking for the software or I guess it's called firmware for my D-Link 2.4GHz Wireless broadband Router.Model no# DI-614+ I lost the setup disk that went with it.We currently have a motorola modem that has only one ethernet port. My objective is to make it possible for more than one person to get online. I'm looking for a web address that will allow me to download D-link firmware or any suggestions about an alternative way to achieve my objective.
