How to use both wired and wireless connection with static addresses

Now that I have setup my home network with static addresses (router, mini1, mini2 and PC) in the way I want, (big thanks to BDAqua http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1271635&tstart=0) I would like to understand some more advanced network concepts.
I would like to change the network so that I use both the wireless connection and the built-in ethernet connection at the same time in my Mac mini1. I would like to connect my PC to my Mac mini by using the wired ethernet connection so that I reach the Internet from my PC as well. I would also like to be in control of all the addresses therefore I want to assign the addresses manually.
The question: What addresses should I use between mini1 and PC? Should I use the same wireless address space as I already use between the wireless router and the other computers (router: 192.168.1.1, mini1: 192.168.1.101, mini2: 192.168.1.103) or should I use something totally different like 10.X.X.X? What should I put in ethernet connection "Router"-field, the same as in Airport (192.168.1.1)? What about DNS, same as in Airport?

If I understand this correctly, you wish your Mini to perform Internet Sharing for your PC, correct!?
If so you'll pretty much have to let the Mini handle DHCP & NAT on the Ethernet port. You also want to be sure Airport is dragged to the top of Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations, that's what position the Mini will use 1st for Internet itself.
On the Mini turn on both Web Sharing & Internet Sharing. The PC once connected will have the Mini's Ethernet IP as it's Gateway addy.

  • Using both wired and wireless network Access?

    I have a ThinkPad 510 with a docking station.  Within the same room, connecting to the same network I may use the WiFi with the TP only, or connect using the docking station which is hardwired to the network.  TP has W7 installed.
    What is the correct procedure for bouncing between these two environments?  Is there a setup which will allow 
    'automatic' access, depending on whether I'm using the docking port, or not?
    Thanks, 

    in the Thinkvantage Access software, you can set the network preferences. So you can set the Ethernet to be your most preferred network connection method, while your wireless as the second most preferred method. Or which way you prefer.
    So for example, when you dock and the computer detects the ethernet network connection, it will automatically switch to the ethernet as it becomes available. And when you undock, your computer will switch back to wireless as ethernet is not available.

  • How to set up WRT54GS so the wired and wireless connections both work?

    I have a DSL line in to a Motorola modem.
    The modem is connected to the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable.
    When I connect my computers directly into the WRT54GS with an ethernet cable (there are four connection spots at the back of the box), I cannot go to the internet.  I have 3 computers plugged in, but none of them connect via Ethernet..
    Is there a setting on the router so that I can use the router for both wired and wireless connectivity?
    Added info: I tried to connect directly from the computer to the modem, but again, got no connectivity.  When I "chatted" with ATT, they told me the modem is set to "bridge", and that I could connect only one device.  I don't want to change this setting because I want to use the router for the wireless capability.  Besides which, I have more than one computer to connect to the internet.
    How come I cannot just plug in and go?  
    My firmware version is v2.07.1. 
    I don't know how to find out what hardware version I have.
    Other info is "DirectEthernet Connection, Speed: 100.0 Mbps, Signal Strength: Excellent, Status: Connected"
    Also "1394 Connection 3, Speed: 400.0 Mbps, Status: Connected"  
    I don't know what that's for, but thought it might prove useful to those of you who are knowledgeable about such things.
    Wireless is ok, but if I'm sitting right next to the router, I'd like to connect with Ethernet and take advantage of the better speed, etc.
    Thanks in advance.

  • I have a new Macbook Air 2012, Apple TV 2 and I have tried wired and wireless connections both result in stuttering during video airplay to the ATV2.

    I have a new Macbook Air 2012, Apple TV 2 and I have tried wired and wireless connections both still result in stuttering during video airplay to the ATV2.
    I have even bought a new Airport Extreme Router just to confirm it is not the router and it still didn't help.
    I have brought all items in the same room with wired connections and still same issue.
    I was thinking maybe ATV 3 might help since it has 2 wifi antennas and faster processor.
    Have tried everything I could think of.
    This was one of the main reasons I bought a Macbook Air for this airplay feature. Very frustrated.
    Any thoughts; any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I also disabled Norton Firewall and restarted the Air and Now I'm able to use Air Play.
    I know that the Apple remedy said that to do that in the support article, but I totally forgot I had that enabled..
    It actually works. I can even stream to the Apple TV now through my MacBook Air.
    BTW, Go into setting under the ATV, and click on update...you'll see that there was another update avaialble for the last gen of ATV...
    It does have to restart twice..I guess once to download and and nother to apply.

  • On my wireless printer can i use both usb and wireless at the same time

    i tried to print from coupons,com but it will not  i have used coupons.com before with my other printer and weorked fine i have coupons.com looking into it
    just wondering if anyone else out there have the same problem

    Hi,
    Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

  • Wired and Wireless Connections to OfficeJet 8620?

    We have a small wired Ethernet network.  We are planning to install an HP OfficeJet 8620 multi-function printer tomorrow.  I understand that for a wired-only Ethernet network, I would just connect the OfficeJet to our router, then install the drivers on each workstation.
    Unfortunately, our situation is more complicated than that.  Several people want to use wireless devices to print to the OfficeJet 8620.  We have a working wireless network in place, and the wireless devices are able to access it without problem..
    All devices on the network (wired and wireless) use the same router, which has both wired Ethernet ports and wireless capability.  So, everything is on the same network, going through the same router.
    From reading the 8620 documentation, it looks like you can only have a wired OR a wireless connection, but not both.  Apparently connecting a CAT-5 cable to the Ethernet port on the printer disables the wireless capability of the printer.
    If that is correct, what can we do to enable both wired computers and wireless mobile devices to print to the 8620, given the network structure I have described above?
    Thanks very much for any assistance you can offer.
    This question was solved.

  • How to configure use of Ethernet and wireless simultaneously, with different Windows´s?

    Hello friends,
    My network has two Win XP-laptops connected via ethernet to a Dovado-router, and from the Dovado-router another ethernet cable to a Win 7 PC.
    The Win 7 PC connects to the internet via a D-Link wireless network to my ISP wireless router Huawei E589.
    Problem: the PC refuses to work with both ethernet and wireless at the same time.
    I use the ethernet for tranferring vast amounts of graphical data (astronomy photographs at 3-4 GB each), and I can only access the internet through the wireless. Neither XP nor 7 wizards are able to fix it. Both networks were visable in Network Center,
    now only the wireless is available. Ethernet is gone.
    What do I do, to make it work?

    Hi,
    What's your purpose? My understanding is that you want Windows 7 PC wireless use internet and wired use Lan. If I am misunderstand please point me fault.
    For the situation you can do like this:
    1) Setting for your both routers. 
    Make sure both routers have different Router IP's and SUBNETS, you should try to set the subnet of Dovado-router to 255.255.255.252(this router should be used as local Lan, not connect to internet).
    Set the subnet of D-link to 255.255.255.0
    2) Setting For the LAN adapter. 
    Under the TCP/IP properties(Lan adapter),  please assign a unique IP address (which coincides with the subnet of Dovado-router ), set the subnet to 255.255.255.252 (or whatever you set it to Dovado-router). The very important things is that
    don't assign any GATEWAY to Lan adapter, leave it blank.
    3) Setting For the WIRELESS adapter.
    Under TCP/IP properties(wireless adapter), please assign a unique IP address (that coincides with the wireless router), set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 (or whatever the default is for the wireless router), and make sure to type gateway IP address ( D-link
    IP address).
    Now you can test if they are work normally.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards.

  • Slow wired and wireless connections on new Mac Pro

    I have a new 6-core Mac Pro with 64GB RAM that I seem to be having major network issues with. When I restart or first switch the machine on it's fine but after a few minutes the network (web browsing) become painfully slow - when I run a speed test it come out at ~2Mbit/s. This is the same whether I connect on a wired or wireless connection. I've tried various connections including a complete bypass of my time capsule to a direct wall connection that should be giving 100Mbit/s. When i run a speed test on my iPhone connected to the time capsule via 5GHz I comfortably get >60MBit/s.
    Is there a bug in the latest OS 10.9.4 my MBAir also seems to require a lot of restarting to keep up even basic web browsing???

    Your Macs are always looking for a better connection. To that end, they are evaluating every possible way to get to the Internet.
    It is very important that you limit those choices to only the ones you actually want to connect to, and indicate that the other are "off the list", literally.
    For example, to test your wired network connection, Ethernet must be at the top of the list AND WiFI must be OFF. (Otherwise, your Mac will be checking WiFi to see if it seems to be getting a better connection over WiFi. In the screenshot below, Ethernet is at the top of the list, so it is likely to be used, but since WiFi is still ON, it may be used instead.
    To check YOUR WiFi connection (and not your neighbors' connections), you need to BOTH check that the "ask to Join new Networks" box is checked:
    and that the Networks you wish to join are shown in the order you wish to join them. All extraneous networks should be removed from this list:

  • Satellite L735 won't connect to the internet (both wired and wireless)

    Hi,
    I have a brand new Satellite L735, and I'm having a lot of trouble with the internet connections.
    When I connect it to a wireless network it finds the profile and connects to it but then still says "no internet access" for both IPv4 qnd IPv6 connectivity statuses.
    I have tried troubleshooting, turing off the computer and wireless network and back on, but it's stil not working.
    The same happens with the workplace wireless, despite other computers connecting to it fine (so it doesn't come from the networks). I've also tried connecting it at work with an ethernet cable but no luck.
    I have the Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Wireless network adapter and the Atheros AR8152/8158 PCI-E Fast ethernet controller.
    I'm not sure what to do as the laptop is new and so it shouldn't need updates, all the settings are default, etc. I'd very much appreciate any help on this!

    Hi
    Uninstall or disable the TCP/IPv6 and use only the TCP/IPv4 protocol.
    Furthermore check if in TCP/IPv4 properties the IP address and other settings are set to assign automatically
    Furthermore I would recommend checking the firewall and some security applications which could be preinstalled on the notebook.
    It could be possible that antivirus or firewall prevent the notebook from connecting to internet.

  • Using a wired AND wireless network on one machine for better security

    It occurs to me that if I could separate my Internet traffic from my LAN traffic, I could have the best security setup, so that machines on my network would only have file sharing enabled for the WIRED connection and I would use the Internet over the WIRELESS connection.
    How do I configure my PowerBook and Mac Mini to do this? In the Sharing preference pane, it doesn't allow me to specify which network port the sharing will be active on.
    And once I am conncected to both a wireless and wired network, giving each machine 2 IP addresses, how does the computer know to route the IP addresses to the right port?
    I'm using an Airport Extreme Base Station (connected to a cable modem) configured to distribute IP addresses to the wireless ports on the computers for Internet and a Linksys router distributing IP addresses to the ethernet ports on the computers with sharing turned on.

    in the Thinkvantage Access software, you can set the network preferences. So you can set the Ethernet to be your most preferred network connection method, while your wireless as the second most preferred method. Or which way you prefer.
    So for example, when you dock and the computer detects the ethernet network connection, it will automatically switch to the ethernet as it becomes available. And when you undock, your computer will switch back to wireless as ethernet is not available.

  • Can you print using both USB and Wireless on HP M175nw?

    I am having a problem with my new LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw. When I initially set it up with Setup wizard, I selected the "USB" option, since that was how my old printer was hooked up to the computer. That worked fine and the printer works perfectly with my desktop. Now I can't figure out how to also set up the printer to be used wirelessly. I specifically bought this printer because I wanted to be able to Airprint from an ipad. I've tried several of the fixes listed on this website, but I'm not able to get a list of wireless networks to appear on the printer's menu. I am using a Linksys wireless G router, which is hardwired to my desktop, but which I use to wirelessly access the internet with my laptop and ipad.
    What is the best way to be able to use the printer with my both my desktop (non-wireless), laptop, and ipad (both wireless)? Can I leave the printer hardwired to my desktop with a USB AND connect the other devices wirelessly? If so, what is the best way for me to connect the printer to my router - wirelessly or wired? What steps do I need to take to do that and get the printer connected?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Before Christmas 2011, I ran few tests and I've posted elsewhere on this forum. My printer is a different model but I believe same technology. My tests indicated we can connect printer using BOTH wireless and USB. Printer will show busy/not available during direct print (ie USB) but it knows job(s) is/are on the queue and print after that.
    One thing I could not test successfully: scan and print at the same time.

  • Problem with WRT160NV2, both wired and wireless...

    I bought a WRT160NV2 Refurbed from CompUSA about 2 weeks ago, and since then I've been having some problems.
    It's not every site, but there are a few sites (three or four I've noticed)  that load very, very, very slowly. It happens using wired or wireless (Main PC is wired). I've tried rebooting both the router and modem multiple times (10 or 20 times at least) and looked through the forums and noticed some people said try setting the MTU to 1300. I tried that and it didn't seem to do anything, so I tried 1350, 1400, 1450, 1490, and 1100, with no results with either. When I connect using just my modem everything works fine. I'm frustrated because I can't find a solution to this. Any help would be appreciated. 
     Firmware Version: v2.0.03 build 007 ;Jul 2, 2009
    Message Edited by RagingShadow07 on 02-27-2010 01:48 PM

    Since you have already changed the MTU size on your Router and still facing the same problem, then i think you need to Re-flash / Upgrade the firmware of your Router...
    Download the firmware from the Linksys website and then upload the firmware on your Router... Once the firmware is upgraded on your Router, then you need to reset the router and re-configure all the settings on it again... 

  • Can I have wired and wireless connection together?

    I have a wired Ethernet connection to my black home hub with BT Total Broadband which works perfectly.  However my son occasionally would like to connect via my home hub, but wirelessly at the same time. Whenever he tries to connect he gets several other outside connections available in the area but my home hub is seen but not available i.e. it has a red cross at the side of the selection panel.  Would the instructions in the "How to set up ..." postings above enable me to solve this or is there something else I should do?  He is using a PC and I am using a Mac if that has any relevance. 

    It makes no difference what O/s a computer is using. I think you probably need to switch wireless on in your router.
    Enter 192.168.1.254 in your browsers addressbar, that'll take you into your routers config page. I'm afraid you'll have to rummage about in there to find your wireless settings as I use a Netgear router.
    HEre's a link to some destructions... Click me
    [EDIT]
    Ok.. I found a link in my other link that should take you to the wireless config page...

    When you find the right bit, write down the (E)SSID and network key as your son will need to enter them in his wireless network manager.

  • Managing wired and wireless connections.

    I have a client who wants to be able to use a wireless hotspot for backup internet when their main connection fails. 
    However when the  main internet fails, they can't always use the wireless connection they've set up while still being on the wired LAN. The workstation will ignore the wireless connection and attempt to connect to the internet via LAN.
    1. They need the LAN for networked printers
    2. They want to be able to use the wireless hotspot to connect to the internet.
    3. They want to be able to switch between connections without their users needing to change anything manually other than connecting to the wireless hotspot.
    I've been looking but I haven't been able to find any kind of software that manages network connections in this way.
    Is anyone able to suggest a solution?
