Re: Help with NetGear WGR614 Wireless Router - Hardware & Devices Discussion Boards

It might be the old classic IRQ conflict.
Disable all devices you don't need, such as audio, lan, modem and firewire (or reenable one). This will give the remaining devices a new IRQ, eventually nonshared, which might allow you to install.
If the installation succeeds you can reenable them later if necessary.

It's a bit of a pain, but you can slipstream additional drivers/patches into a copy of an OS install CD.

I take it that the system worked before your reformat.
Some harddrives object to being re-formatted, it is unlikely to be RAM.
Any failing Diskdrive may make the others inaccessible.

To check the HardDrive,

1. Check your BIOS settings, ensure that drives A and C (and your CD Drive) are bootable!

2. Disconnect the harddrive and the CD Rom,(Power and Ribbon Connections, but note how they go back) and run DOS 3.00 from a (bootable)floppy.
If it does not boot, try the floppy on a known system, else, change the floppy drive.this should establish that your hardware is workable.

3. Re-connect the harddrive, and try DOS 3.00 again. If it fails, your Harddrive is dinky.

4. Buy a new Harddrive, and try again. HardDrives are cheap these days.
and do the same.

Hope this is helpfull

I just tried to install one this morning, and tried to set it up just for wireless, i.e. no ADSL routing etc. The setup wizard seems to insist on going through all that first.

While I can see the 'control panel' using the ~~168.162.0.1~~192.168.0.1 address, I can't see the "Wireless Settings" button I'm supposed to click, and a nearby Vista laptop I can't see any wireless networks.

Am I doing something wrong?

I've seen that happen with some routers' wizards when you try to skip the dsl-settings: They ignore settings if they deem the wizard "incomplete" - and don't necessarily give you notice. The NetGear support might be able to help you out (IIRC, you're in sort of a hurry).

However stupid that sounds, does the box have one or more antennae? The models all look the same (except for the antennae), so a non-wireless model might have slipped through. Also, the box might have the wrong firmware. Try to upgrade the firmware to the most recent revision.

Cheers,

Doesn't sound stupid at all - it would have crossed my mind if it didn't have an antenna, and a wireless LED flashing on the front panel, that I had got just a DSL router in a wireless box.

Maybe I've got a plain ADSL router firmware in a wireless device? Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Haha, this is closer to correct than we would have suspected. Since I was last there, he has changed his ADSL modem/router to an ethernet only NetGear, with the same IP! I was connecting to his existing one, and not the new one!

Earlier this month I was considering buying a NetGear router, not necessarily the WGR614, and am interested in your experiences. However, occasionally, my existing router sometimes allocates a 169... address to a particular PC on my network (doesn't happen nearly as often since replacing ZoneAlarm firewall with Comodo) - the other PC's are correctly allocated a 192.168.1.x address - usually a PC reboot resolves that problem. I have never experienced a 168.162.x.x address and the on-line NetGear manual doesn't appear to cover that specific IP address problem but does suggest you reset the router to factory default. Keep us posted on your resolution of the problem, and, if you so feel, keep us posted on your continuing experiences.

See my second reply to Sebastian. I had the addresses in my post wrong, and have now edited them.

I just realized something weird

Both IP addresses are assigned to Sunguard availability services in the USA.

They are not in any private IP range that I have ever heard of.
Maybe, just maybe, did you mean to connect to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 ?

Hi, I just install the driver for my new printer HP 2015d and HP PhotoSmart C5280. Everything is working fine but every time that I start up my computer, I found the message indicate that: hppusg.exe Application has generated an exception that could not handled. Process id=0x1270 (4720), Thread id=0x141c (5148). Does any one know what is the cause of the problem? And what is the solution disable this message box?

Thank in advance!

The problem is that HP can't code its way out of a wet paperbag.

Fixes:

1) if you haven't done so visit HPs website and make sure you have the latest version of their suckware.

2) If that doesn't work (or if you just want to be rid of the suckware in general) start-run-msconfig, startup tab, find the row for hppusg.exe and disable it from starting at boot time. Click apply. It shouldn't try and start the next time you reboot.

Thank you very much for your help, If i disabled the hppusg.exe from the msconfig dialog box, does it affect any operation of my printer or the software that work with my printer? Thank.

No more than it crashing every time it tries (and fails) to start already is.

Hi,

I have a C code that calls an assembly procedure with a parameter that is a pointer to a structure.

typedef struct _SOMESTRUCT {
ULONG arg1;
CHAR arg2[10];
} SOMESTRUCT, *PSOMESTRUCT;

Then in C code, im calling an assembly proc like this:

SOMESTRUCT mySomeStruct;
ret = AssemblyFunction(&mySomeStruct);

In assembly code, how can i access arg1 and arg2?
Any idea?

arg1 will be the first N bytes of the struct (n = ulong's size in bytes = 4???) arg2 will be the 10 bytes at the address of the struct + N.

-- Robert Royall

Here is an example of how to access your struct members utilizing inline assembly. This example will copy a string into the arg2 member of your struct.

typedef struct _SOMESTRUCT
{
ULONG arg1;
CHAR arg2[10];
} SOMESTRUCT, *PSOMESTRUCT;
 
CHAR szcpy[] = "copy me copy me copy me copy me";
_SOMESTRUCT mySomeStruct = {0};
mySomeStruct.arg1 = strlen(szcpy);
 
__asm
{
	lea ebx, mySomeStruct //Load address of struct into base register
	mov ecx, [ebx]mySomeStruct.arg1 //Move length of string into counter register
	lea edi, [ebx]mySomeStruct.arg2 //Load address of destination buffer
	lea esi, szcpy //Load address of source buffer
	shr ecx,1 //Shift right ecx
	rep movsw //Repeat move words
	adc ecx,ecx //Add with carry ecx
	rep movsb //Repeat move remaining bytes
}

How can i check in Run Time if in current machine that execute my application (exe file) has an active microphone ?

Please don't cross post in multiple forums.

i am using 1Gb D-link Lan cards on my PC's but it shows 100Mb connectivity .... i'v looked into the options there are some like

10 Mb Half Duplex
10 Mb Full Duplex
100 Mb Half Duplex
100 Mb Full Duplex

but there's no 1000Mb option ... anyways i have selected the "Auto Negotiation" option in both but still they connect at 100Mb while m using a cross cable CAT5e between the two.

They both have to be set to Auto Negotiation to get Gigabit. I've never done a cross connect cable on Gigabit, but, it looks like the quality of the cable is what's going to limit your speeds here. Gigabit requires good Cat5e or Cat6 or better cable. Cat3, 4 and 5 isn't going to do it.

Also, how long is the cable you're using? It should be a minimum of 3 feet and not hanging a bunch of noisy power sources.

FYI, crossover-cables need to have all 4 pairs crossed for 1000-Base-TX. So, he probably has the wrong kind of cable, which makes the NIC default back to 100-Base-TX

You need a Gigabit crossover cable, since Gigabit ethernet uses all 4 pairs. If you are using a normal crossover cable, only 1/3 and 2/6 are crossed, whereas Gigabit requires 1/3, 2/6, 4/7, 5/8 to be crossed.

I need to find an easy to set up, fair priced, wireless router with a good range, i.e. one office in ex garage, one office on opposite side of house, one office on the house. Probably 50m radius max. I need to install in yesterday already, so my prime requirement is to be able to quickly set it up for a secure network. I have a Proxim Orinoco at home, and still haven't waded into the 200 page manual to do this because it's not well documented, i.e. "How to secure your network".

I also need a wireless transceiver for a Sahara NB 610 laptop. I don't know which is the best route here; PMCIA or USB, but I also need to procure and install before 09h00 tomorrow.

MOD: BTW, the laptop I need a plug-in device for is running Linux. Any caveats there regarding makes and models with poor Linux support?
