Answer 1

It feels a bit like re-gifting, but I just typed the following "WAP FIXES" as part of my answer for someone trying to connect his laptop to his home Wireless Access Point (WAP)/Router. For the complete answer including some up-front diagnostics to isolate the problem to the WAP/Router, search for the question titled "Wireless Network Not Working?". Once you have completed these steps, you can use the X-Box 360 features to connect. If you are using an original X-Box, consider connecting your Belkins adapter (essentially a Wireless Bridge) hard-wired to your PC for setup. You then can use a browser window to communicate with the adapter and setup any special parameters like SSID or WEP key - especially if they are not broadcast from your Linksys WAP for security reasons. That's how I setup my Wireless Bridge for my X-Box a few years ago, and it has been working ever since.

WAP FIXES:
==========

1. Use an ethernet cable to connect your laptop to the router (your question mentioned that this works).

2. Open a web browser.

3. Enter the URL indicated in your router manual. This is usually "192.168.1.1" or possibly "192.168.1.100" depending upon the brand. I don't have a G624T router or manual handy.

4. Log on and click around to the wireless settings.

5. Verify that the wirless capability is set to "Enabled". Your device can function in router mode without enabling wireless access, though this is unlikely in your case since it was working previously.

6. Verify that the SSID is being broadcast (probably another "Enable" setting). It is possible for your WAP function to connect only upon request from devices that know your SSID - a common security function if you are not running an open network - and thus would not appear on any list of "found" wireless networks. Again, this was working previously and doesn't just change on its own.

7. While in there, verify the SSID and WEP settings match what your laptop is expecting. This is often the cause if the laptop is finding but not connecting to your WAP. This may not be your problem since the laptop isn't even finding the network.

8. Find the DHCP table and clear the existing connections. Again, this won't help if your laptop isn't finding the network broadcast at all.

9. Cilck to the MAC address filters and verify that this filtering is not turned on. If you do use MAC address filtering for security reasons, make sure your laptop's MAC address is entered in the table (note: this is the physical address of your laptop's network card and has nothing to do with MacIntosh computers specifically).

10. If none of this fixes your WAP, i.e., makes it appear on the list of available networks to a known working wireless laptop, you probably need a new WAP/router. Fortunately these are cheap nowadays, but consult a computer geek before spending any money.

Answer 2

i think of it would make suited experience. i've got no longer heard of one that's 12 months a twelve months yet some agencies do grant MLB greater Innings and Superfan (of direction it truly is in simple terms for the standard season nonetheless). i understand Directv can provide it, yet i could no longer enable you to recognize who else does. it truly is worth it truly is fee, yet may well be effective to work out an all the time community :) Kyle: Blackouts are actually not led to by utilising your cable or satellite tv for pc provider.....properly they are ....however the gang mandates while blackouts take place. For the MLB i think they call a blackout if the sport would not sell out interior 72 hours in the past the sport starts off. The cable and/or satellite tv for pc employer warning signs a settlement with the league and in the event that they are instructed to do a blackout and dont do it, then they have broken their settlement. it truly is not something they are able to alter the two.
