Networking a Mac G5, Mac G4 and a PC

hey guys, I was wondering on how can I network my G5, to my PC and also network with my G4?

Depending on your internet access setup, buy a switch or a router, then turn on the appropriate services on the Macs - Windows File Sharing to be able to communicate with the PC, and the Personal File Sharing (or whatever it's called) so the Macs can talk to each other.
You'll probably have to setup shared folders on the PC as well.

  • Connecting pc to network on mac

    i have a pc laptop that i had connected to network through mac desktop and for whatever reason it's not working. 
    i uninstalled printer from pc and now i can't figure out how to get it hooked up again. guess i should have written it down. ...
    here are my steps:
    1.HP printer is working on mac and the sharing button is toggled on.
    2. I can see the network computer (mac) from my PC laptop
    3. I go to add printer on pc / add a network printer tab and the search comes up with nothing. i'm pretty sure i was seeing all my printers before
    4. i then  toggle the Select a shared printer by name option and type in \\owensmac\laserjet and I get the big red X connect to printer.
    i'm guessing the address is wrong. I renamed the printer laserjet on the mac.
    any help would be welcome.
    thanks

    What make and model of router? For what you describe, you need a combo Ethernet / Wireless Access Point (WAP) router. In that case, the short answer is, use the Mac, which is connected to the router by Ethernet cable, to configure the router using whatever instructions are provided with the router, typically on an included CD. For PCs, there's usually a setup program; for Macs, you'll need to find the help ot setup instructions file, typically a PDF.
    Essentially, you want to set the WiFi side of the router to name a network, serve IP numbers by DHCP, turn on WPA and select a password. You can then use the Network Setup Assistant on the PC to find that WiFi network and set it as the default connection.
    For real help, head over to iFelix Tech Notes, which has nicely illustrated step-by-step instructions on a host of topics that will be of interest in settings up a Mac-PC home network.

  • Simple networking of a G3[9.2] and G4[OS X]

    Hi,
    I 'presume' it is possible to network between 9.2 and OS X... using a G3 and a G4 respectively. There is also a scanner and printer which would be used by both. Please explain by word [or if someone has a link] how to do this...Thanks in advance,
    'Network novices in need'
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.3.8)  

    yes it is possible in OSX you would use File sharing as instructed below:
    I. Prepare to Share
    Connect computers to each other or to Internet
    To share between computers that are at the same location, connect them to an Ethernet network or an AirPort network. For more information, see technical document 106658: "Creating a Small Ethernet Network"
    You may also share over the Internet. A single computer using any kind of modem to connect to the Internet can share files, but the "Connecting between remote networks" section below applies.
    Computers need IP addresses
    If you can connect to the Internet, then your computer already has an IP address that is valid for your network. But if your computer does not have a valid IP address, which you can check in the Network pane of System Preferences, see technical document 106659: "Mac OS: How to Get an IP Address for Connecting to the Internet"
    Connecting to the Internet and a local network (or LAN) at the same time
    In most cases, users of institutional networks and home broadband will be advised to have their networks set up in a way that makes this goal effortless. Home users who don't have some type of routing device should see How to Connect to the Internet and Share Files Locally at the Same Time.
    File Sharing with other Apple operating systems
    This article concentrates only on File Sharing for Mac OS X. When properly set up, various Apple operating systems (such as Mac OS X, Mac OS 9, and AppleShare IP) can connect with each other. Be aware that the sharing service has other names, such as AppleShare and Apple File Protocol (AFP). When you connect to any of them, their behavior is superficially the same. If you use AppleTalk, review the AppleTalk issues section below.
    Sharing with non-Apple operating systems
    This article describes the most simple form of sharing available to Macintosh users (AppleShare). Other methods are available for communicating with other operating systems. See technical documents:
    106660: "Mac OS X: Sharing With Non-Apple Operating Systems"
    19652: "Macintosh: Networking With a Windows PC"
    Connecting between remote networks
    Mac OS X can share over the Internet (TCP/IP), as can Mac OS 9 and AppleShare IP. This allows Macintosh computers in remote locations to share files with any type of Internet connection. For more information, see technical document 106661: "Mac OS: Sharing Between Remote Networks, Sharing Over the Internet"
    All Public folders are shared. Only Public folders are shared.
    See technical document 106662: "Mac OS X: Only Public Folders Are Shared"
    File Sharing is for up to 10 users
    Up to 10 users may connect to File Sharing simultaneously. If you need to connect more users at once, you should upgrade to Unlimited-Client version of Mac OS X Server (http://www.apple.com/server/).
    II. Start Sharing
    1. Place files to share in your Public folder.
    2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu. See Note 1.
    3. Click the Network icon.
    4. Choose the port you are going to share on (Built-in Ethernet or AirPort) from the Show pop-up menu. See Note 2.
    5. Click the AppleTalk tab.
    6. Click the checkbox to select Make AppleTalk Active.
    7. Click Apply Now.
    8. Click the Show All button in the upper left corner of the window.
    9. Click the Sharing icon.
    10. In the Computer Name field, type the name you wish to appear on the network for your computer. See Note 3.
    11. Click Start in the File Sharing section. For Mac OS X 10.2 and later, select Personal File Sharing.
    Repeat this process on any other Mac OS X computer that you wish to receive File Sharing connections.
    Notes:
    1. Users sharing between remote locations skip steps 3 to 8. Users of dial-up must connect before step 11.
    2. Prior to Mac OS X 10.1, the Show menu was named "Configure."
    3. If you change your Computer Name in the future, you must stop and restart File Sharing for the name change to take effect.
    Managing privileges for shared data
    Optionally, you can change the access privileges for items in your Public folder.
    To change privileges for your entire Public folder:
    1. Select your Public folder in a Finder window.
    2. Choose Get Info (or Show Info) from the File menu.
    3. Set the Show pop-up menu to Privileges.
    4. You may now adjust user access privileges for the folder.
    You can use the same steps for items in the Public folder.
    III. Connect to a Sharing computer
    How you connect to a Mac OS X computer that is sharing depends on two major factors:
    the version of Mac OS on the connecting, or "client," computer
    whether the client is local (on the same network) or remote
    The steps you need to follow are found in technical document 107369, "Mac OS: How to Connect to File Sharing or Apple File Services (AFP)".
    IV. Troubleshooting
    AppleTalk issues
    Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X 10.1 to 10.3.9 support file sharing (AFP) connections over AppleTalk. However, Mac OS X versions 10.0 to 10.0.4 (more) and 10.4 and later (more) can only connect to AppleShare over TCP/IP.
    If you want to connect from versions 10.1 to 10.3.9 to Mac OS 8 sharing (which is AppleTalk only), be sure to enable AppleTalk as described in steps 5 and 6 in Section II, above. Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X can both connect over TCP/IP without AppleTalk, so this step is optional in the absence of Mac OS 8.
    Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer. The Network preference pane in Mac OS X 10.4 and later still offers the AppleTalk checkbox, but it is for browsing AppleTalk-advertised resources and zones. The subsequent connection must be over TCP/IP.
    General troubleshooting steps:
    1. First, be sure you have followed the steps in this article correctly and reviewed the topics in Section I.
    2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
    3. Click Network.
    4. Choose the network interface you are using from the Configure pop-up menu.
    5. Click the TCP/IP tab.
    6. Check to be sure that your computer has an IP address that is valid for your network. If your Configure menu is set to Manually, you also need to ensure that the Router and Subnet Mask entries are correct for your network. If you are not sure, check with the network administrator or Internet service provider.
    7. Double check your physical connection: a phone line, Ethernet cable, or AirPort card and antenna. Be sure that what you are using is properly connected. Try swapping cables, or check to see that your AirPort card is properly seated. You can search the Knowledge Base for "AirPort and install." Select the document that matches your computer.
    8. For the most reliable AppleTalk connections, Spanning Tree protocol should not be used on the network. See technical document 30922: "Spanning Tree Protocol: AppleTalk Issues".
    Note: Wireless Internet access requires an AirPort Card, AirPort Base Station, and an Internet service provider, for which fees may apply. Some ISPs are not compatible with AirPort. America Online (AOL) works with AirPort software version 2.0 or later. For more information on AOL compatibility, see technical document 106591: "AirPort: How to Use with AOL". Range may vary with site conditions.
    Now heres what you do on the OS 9 End
    Computers must be physically connected
    Connect the computers to either an AirPort or Ethernet network. For more information, see technical document 106658: "Macintosh: How to Create a Small Ethernet Network"
    Start File Sharing
    1. Choose Control Panels from the Apple menu, then File Sharing from the submenu.
    2. Click the Start/Stop tab, then click Start.
    3. If you want to allow connections over TCP/IP, click the checkbox to enable the "Enable File Sharing clients to connect over TCP/IP" option. For more information on this feature, see technical document 106661: "Mac OS: Sharing Over the Internet, or Between Remote Networks"
    4. Enter an Owner Name, Owner Password, and Computer Name in the corresponding fields. You may have already entered this information using the Mac OS Setup Assistant.
    At this point, File Sharing is active but only the owner can connect. There is no guest access.
    This technical document describes how to start File Sharing.
    Note: This document is based on Mac OS 9. You may encounter slight variations when using Mac OS versions 8.0 through 8.6, but the steps are basically the same. You may find steps specific to your Mac OS version by choosing Mac Help from the Help menu. For more information on File Sharing in Mac OS X, see technical document 106461: "Mac OS X: File Sharing"
    Warning: Be careful when allowing others to connect to your computer and when setting privileges. Giving access to an untrusted party could compromise your security or data. For more information, see technical document 60621: "Mac OS: File Sharing Security"
    Computers must be physically connected

    4. Click to select the checkbox for "Allow guests to connect to this computer."
    Warning: When you enable guest access, everyone can connect to the items you choose to share. They will have the privileges that you set for "Everyone."
    For a new user:
    1. Click New User.
    2. Give the user a name and password.
    Once you have created users, you may put them into groups if you so desire. This allows you more control in setting privileges.
    For a new group:
    1. Click New Group .
    2. Give the new group a name.
    3. Drag the desired users into the new group's window.
    Connect to a Sharing computer
    Note: Computers connecting between remote locations on the Internet cannot browse by Computer Name. The steps below cover both remote and local connections.
    From a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 computer
    1. Choose the Chooser from the Apple menu.
    2. Click the AppleShare icon. If you are connecting to a computer on your local network, continue to Step 3. If you are connecting to a computer on a remote network (or "over the Internet"), then skip to Step 7. If you are not sure, see Note 1 at the end of this section.
    3. If AppleTalk Zones appear on your network, choose the desired zone. If not, disregard this step.
    4. Select the computer name from the computer list.
    5. Click OK.
    6. Stop here. Do not continue to Step 7.
    7. Click the Server IP Address button.
    8. Type either the IP address or the DNS name of the computer to which you wish to connect. See Note 2.
    9. Click Connect.
    After a successful connection, an icon for the shared disk appears on your desktop.

  • Having trouble setting up an Ad Hoc network with both iOS, Mac OS, and Windows.

    So I'm skiing with some friends but we forgot to bring a router with us.  The lodge internet is passable but we only have one ethernet connection.  My friend connected his (windows) laptop to the ethernet and set up an Ad-Hoc network.  The problem is that only Mac OS and iOS devices are able to connect to the network and use the internet.  The windows machines and Droid devices can't connect or in some cases they can connect they can't use the internet.
    My question is what special wizardry allows Mac OS and iOS to work fine on the ad hoc network but not the other platforms?  Is there something I can do to get the other machines to connect to the network?  Would things work better if I hosted the Ad Hoc network? Thanks for all the help.

    Hi Munkiez, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    See if this helps about halfway down is Wifi/Airport.

    There is something incompatible would be my guess. Did you disconnect all your peripherals in safe mode just to check?
    You might now create a new temporary user account. Log into the new account. Do the panics still occur?
    I would also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on diagnosing kernel panics. Sometimes they can be difficult to track down. Looking at each new panic log would help determine if it's cause is associated with the same extensions.

  • I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to My Mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services.   Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again." How do I fix this?

    Not sure if I am doing this right. This is my first time in the support community.
    I imagine what I put in my heading was supposed to go in here.
    I want to use Back to my mac. When I try to turn it on, it says "Back to my mac may be slow because more than one device on your network is providing network services. Turn off NAT and DHCP on one of the devices and try again. See the documentation that came with your device for information about turning off network services"
    Does anyone know how I do this? I contacted my ISP (Telus in Canada) and they did not know anything (not that they usually do).

    Why do ISPs insist upon making things so difficult for their customers?
    If you cannot get them to understand that you would prefer to use your own router over their piece of cheap junk, perhaps the information in the following will be useful:
    http://keithbalomben.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/telus-actiontec-v1000h-hacks-and-i nformation/
    Scroll down to DHCP Settings
    You will need to log in with proper "technician" credentials. They are provided in the above link as
    Username: tech
    Password: t3lu5tv
    ... but these may or may not work. Try it, and if you cannot get anywhere at least now you know what to ask Telus to do in return for your business.

  • How Do I Setup a Wireless Network in my home for 3 Mac's and 2 PC's

    Ok..... I live with 5 people and we all have computers. I'm looking to setup a Wireless Network in our house that would allow all of us to access the Internet from our various rooms. Currently we have 3 MAC (a G5 Desktop, a regular Desktop, and a Powergook G4 with airport extreme), and 2 Window's based PC Laptops. So far everyone is using DSL, with the exception of myself. I sit in the back yard accessing the neighbors wireless network. That ***** and I feel like I'm stealing.
    How would I go about setting up a Wireless network for all of these computers, and what equipment would I need to accomplish this?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    First thing you need is a wireless router. You mentioned Airport Extreme---not sure if you are speaking about the card in the PB, or an actual router. Bottom line is that you need a wireless router. Airports will work with Windows, and Netgear is another good option as they are Mac friendly. Then, any computers that don't have wireless card will need to have one--unless you connect them directly with an ethernet cable. Get the IP addresses of all of the computers on the network. In Windows, go to Start-My Network Places-View Network Connections, then highlight the LAN that is displayed. With it highlighted, go to the "details" window and open the drop down menu if it is not open already. Write down the IP address. Then, go to the Macs you have, click on Finder--Go--Connect to server. Type in the IP address with smb:// in front and / at the end--will look something like this smb://192.xxx.x.xx/ Then select connect. Make sure you know the username and passwords of the computers as it will ask for these. To share the files from the Mac to the Windows, just follow these directions: You can set up your Mac so that you can share files with Windows computer users.
    To allow Windows users to connect to your computer, you need to turn on Windows Sharing. When you turn on Windows Sharing, Mac OS X uses the Samba server software to provide SMB/CIFS file services.
    You also need to give the Windows users the network address of your computer, and a user name and password of a user account on your computer.
    Open System Preferences and click Sharing and, if necessary, click Services.
    Select Windows Sharing in the list, then click Start.
    Click Accounts and select the name of the user account that will share files. Enter the password for that user.
    Look below the services list for your computer's network address. Give this address to Windows users.
    You can provide users with the user name and password of any account on your computer. To help keep your computer secure, you may want to create a special account for Windows users in Accounts preferences.
    Because passwords of the user accounts for Windows are stored insecurely, turn off the account when it is not being used. Before you turn off Windows Sharing, turn off all the accounts you enabled. Otherwise, the passwords are still stored insecurely.
    If you want to use a user account that existed before you installed Mac OS X Panther, you may need to reset the password for the account using Accounts preferences.
    Any of this info can also be found in the help files in the Finder. Hope this helps.

  • Setup wireless network for mac and pc with Airport Express?

    Mac Mini/OSX/10.8.2/Airport Express
    Question,
    I have my AIrPort Express setup for my Mac Mini and I have dell computer that I want to share the wireless network. Is it possible to setup a wireless network with my mini and the pc using only the AirPort Express? Is the Airport Express a wireless router?
    Thanks,

    If your Mac Mini is connecting to the Express using wireless, then this confirms that the device is working correctly. 
    The Express is a wireless router that can support up to 10 wireless connections, so your Dell computer should be able to connect assuming that its wireless card is working correctly, and the Dell indentifies the network and enters the correct wireless network password.
    If you are having difficulty with the Dell PC connecting, this Windows troubleshooting document might help:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/network-connection-problem-help#netwo rk-problems=windows-8&v1h=win8tab1&v2h=win7tab1&v3h=winvistatab1&v4h=winxptab1

  • When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to access the printer. Any thoughts?

    When I replaced my PC desktop with a Mac Mini and hooked up my HP printer to it, I discovered that my other computers on the Wi-Fi network could no longer access the printer.  The manual says Maverick OS will not allow PC's to share the printer. Does anyone else have this problem?  My printer does not have on-board Wi-Fi but, otherwise, works fine.  I shouldn't have to buy a new one.  Is there a OS patch out there that would open the printer port for my PC computers?

    I'm assuming that on the Mac, the System Preferences -> Sharing -> Printer Sharing -> [X] HP printer -> Everyone can print is selected?  That is to say, the Mac will allow anyone to print using the printer, and that you did not try to restrict who can print.
    How is your network configured?  Bonjour as a protocol will NOT cross a router boundary.  If you have 2 or more subnets active with the PCs on one subnet and the Mac on another, that would block the PCs from seeing the Mac.
    You could have multiple subnets if you have more than one router, such as an ISP provided broadband modem/router and another WiFi Router.  If the PCs are talking to one router and the Mac is talking to another, that could be a 2 subnet situation.  The additional routers must be put into bridge mode, which is done differently depending on the router.  But the basics are to diable DHCP and NAT services on the secondary router(s) having just one active router on the network.
    Also, using Bonjour Browser on my Mac, it is showing me that the printer is being advertised as using Internet Printing Protocol, so if that is something selectable on Windows, maybe you can bypass Bonjour on Windows.

  • Setting up a small business network using mac and windows pcs

    Setting up a small business network using mac and windows??

    Ok that sounds great. What is your actual question as it relates to AirPort networking? Is it: Can I set up a wired/wireless network with an AirPort base station that support multiple Mac & PC clients? If so the answer is yes.
    If, instead, it is how to I configure an AirPort network to support a small business you will have to provide more details on both your networking & computing equipment in order for any of us to help you.

  • Small fast network with Mac mini server and Promise Pegasus?

    I have 7 Mac Pros and iMacs that need to be connected to the same storage. I'm doing non MPI-based numerical modeling so the transfer rates have to be fast but not infiniband fast. I'm considering a setup with a Promise Pegasus thunderbolt RAID connected to a Mac Mini running Lion server for Access controll/Roaming homer directories. The Mac Pros and iMacs would the be connected via 1Gb ethernet.
    My question is where the bottlenecks in this setup would be. The server software/hardware? The network? What else am I forgetting

    I assume you're looking at Mac mini because you've already run the numbers on Mac Pro and ruled it out. I wonder how many buyers are opting for Mac mini solely for those Promise Thunderbolt arrays.
    I also assume that each of your users is currently using a single gigabit Ethernet port to connect to the LAN.
    If these assumptions are accurate, then I think that a Mac mini will work as long as you and your users have appropriate expectations. The win from putting this server in place won't be networked storage that outperforms an internal SATA drive, although in bursts it probably can. The solution you've described is smart because it's centralized, securable and adds a layer of data protection (RAID).
    You asked about bottlenecks. I can think of three, two of which you can work around now or in the near future. The first is Mac mini's slow internal hard drive(s). You'll have a solution in hand: Boot Mac mini from the array. Some consider that to be a controversial choice, but you shouldn't spend extra for the Mac mini server with dual 7200 RPM drives. The less costly Core i7 configure-to-order upgrade will give you a bigger boost.
    Booting from the array also protects you from the most likely "repair" scenario for Mac mini: Swapping out your entire machine.
    The second issue is Mac mini's lack of an expansion bus. If you get more users or start using apps that demand more from the LAN, you might want to fire up additional gigabit Ethernet ports. Mac mini has just one. At present, the only way to add a gigabit port is with a Thunderbolt PCIe bus expander. Early next year, there should be more options that connect directly or via an intermediate bus like ExpressCard/34 or USB 3.0.
    The one limitation you're powerless to work around is RAM. Mac mini tops out at 8 GB. That meets requirements, but it will be tight if you try to use Mac mini as a client and a server. I deploy them headless so no one's tempted to use the console.
    You can improve your odds that gigabit will cut it by using heavy, short Cat6 cables and a switch dedicated to the Mac LAN. Use Mac mini's built-in Wi-Fi to keep Remote Desktop and other low-priority traffic off the wire.
    Whatever solution you choose, I wish you the best of luck.

  • Can I network a Mac and a PC to my Deskjet 3050 via USB?

  • Two Mac Computers and Time Capsule can't network all

    I have two Mac computers, a Mac Mini and a MacBook Pro. I also have a Time Capsule. For some reason I can only connect from my Mac Mini to the MacBook Pro, but not from the MacBook Pro to the Mac Mini. On the MacMini, when I go to Go menu in the finder and then Network, I see the Time Capsule and the MacBook Pro. If I want to go the other way MacBook Pro to the MacMini all I see when I go to Go menu in the finder and then Network, is the Time Capsule. I have searched all over the internet to find an answer to fix the problem but I have not found anything. Help! Please.

    Well, I wrote my question at 2am after hours of experimentation. The next day all seems well. It seems changing the broadcast frequency worked, but they needed time to decide they liked each other. I wish I'd known that 6 months ago! It was weird because when I first plugged the time capsule on this time it seemed the MacBook detected it just fine. Then I worked to get the internet connection going and it all went sideways. Very mysterious. Thanks for reading.

  • Network G4 Power Mac PCI  and CRT imac

    Hi every one,
    I have just got my 2 computers networked with a Netgear RP614 wired router and the internet connection is working on both.
    How can I get them both to communicate with each other as I need to transfer some items from imac to G4 Power Mac.
    Thanks in advance for any answers.
    Regards from England,

    Hi Alan,
    By "communicate" do you mean logging into one machine remotely from the other?
    You can transfer file several different ways between your G4s. If the amount of data is large (10s of Gb), I'd recommend using firewire. For file transfer via firewire, you'll need a firewire cable to connect the firewire ports on the two machines together. Then, reboot the machine you want to transfer files from , holding down the "T" key. That machine will show up on the desktop of the second machine as a firewire device. Once you're done transferring files, simply drag the firewire device icon to the trash and shutdown the first machine.
    If the amount of files to be transferred is small, you can use AFP (Apple File Protocol). To set AFP up, in System Preferences, under Sharing, on each machine, check the box next to "Personal File Sharing" and "Remote Apple Events". If you've not already done this, I'd turn on the Apple-supplied firewall rules, via System Preferences/Sharing/Firewall. Then reboot each machine in turn.
    If one the Macs you're using is only running OS9.x, you'll also want to check the box "Allow events from Mac OS9" and click on "Set Password" to set a password. This password will be needed by "Chooser" on the OS9 machine to gain access to the OSX machine.
    Then to connect from the OSX machine to the OS9 machine (for example), press Command-K (Connect-to-Server) to bring up a list of machines. Hopefully, the machine to want to connect to is listed. Select the desired machine, and click "Connect" and provide a user name and password, when prompted. Then select the "share", ie. user account on the remote hard drive to mount locally. A globe icon with the label of the "share" you mounted will appear on the local desktop. Then, away you go! To disconnect, just drag the globe icon to the trash.

  • Sharing printers and files in a windows network with Mac OS 9.1

    We've just installed an old iMac with Mac OS 9.1 in the office.The network is made up of 2 windows PCs and this new iMac, connected through a D-link wireless router. We have a USB printer connected to one of the PC's and it's shared by the rest.
    Anyway, I have very little experience with Mac OS and I want the iMac to use the printer as well as share files with the other PCs. Could anyone help me with a "foolproof" guide on how to do this? Thanks
