Symptom
If your Linksys hub/router or wireless access point is set up to distribute IP addresses via DHCP, Classic does not finish starting up. An Open Transport extension icon may be visible when Classic stops responding.
Solution
Try updating the firmware on your Linksys hardware. You may download an update from the Linksys Firmware Upgrades page (
http://www.linksys.com/download/firmware.asp).
Firmware updates are available for these Linksys devices, which may be associated with the symptom described above:
- BEFW11S4 EtherFast Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router w/4-Port Switch
- BEFW11p1 EtherFast Wireless Access Point + Cable/DSL Router w/PrintServer
- BEFSR81 EtherFast Cable/DSL Router with 8-Port Switch
Notes:
1. This list is not intended to be comprehensive, and updating your firmware does not guarantee a solution.
2. Updating firmware on a non-Apple product may require an emulation environment or the use of a non-Apple computer.
3. You should periodically check for firmware updates on any applicable product, whether it is manufactured by Linksys, Apple, or another company.
4. Information about products not manufactured by Apple is provided for information purposes only, and does not constitute Apple's recommendation or endorsement. Please contact the vendor for additional information.
Other Workarounds
If updating the firmware is not an option, use one of the following workarounds:
1. Use static IP addressing instead of DHCP. Please see the materials which came with the product or contact LinkSys for more information.
2. Use AirPort instead <http://www.apple.com/airport/>.
