Parallels Shared Networking Adapter interfering with wireless networking

Hello, I've been having a lot of annoying wireless problems recently, where I would lose connectivity every few minutes. I had reset PRAM, changed lots of settings on my own receiver and the wireless router at home and at work, basically, nothing helped for more than a few minutes, even reinstalling snow leopard. I just removed my parallels shared networking adapter from my network preference pane, and the problem seems to have disappeared, at least for the past 10 minutes.
My question: has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix the parallels shared networking settings?
Thanks!

It could be a Windows problem that is interfering with your wireless. So try launch Windows in Parallel and remove the parallel shared wireless connection from within Windows instead of from the Mac side. Windows is doing weird things to my Mac too and install 2 parallel connections. So that maybe your culprit.

  • Itunes 7.4.1.2 interfering with wireless network

    This is a weird one, i hope someone can help!!
    I upgraded my ipod the other day to an 80Gb ipod classic (6th gen) and so i had to upgrade to the lastest version of iTunes. Having done this, 8 times out of 10 when i eject my iPod from within iTunes my wireless connection disconnects and if i try to view available wireless connections it cannot find any!! If i disable and re enable my network connection then it reconnects automatically. I have a USB Belkin wireless adapter and i am running the latest driver ..I also have all the latest Windows updates installed, and advice would be appreciated!
    Cheers
    James

    anyone else have any thoughts on this? I am an IT consultant so i have checked the basics but i dont know a huge amount about how the hardware side of things works.... is there any way it could be something to do with me removing the ipod without ejecting it? I have tried to do some tests to check but it happens so infrequently that its difficult ... its just annoying!!! I am going to try and test it with a PCI wireless card instead of USB at some point as well....

  • Has anyone had a problem with iphone 4Gs interfering with wireless routers on a desktop system?

      I'm currently having a problem with my iphone 4Gs shutting down my wireless router when it's within ten or fifteen feet of the unit.  I discovered this over the last few days thinking it was a problem with the router, it wasn't till today I realized that it might have been the iphone doing it.  It will scramble the router (at&t) within a few minutes of when you have the iphone on.  Turning off the iphone will allow the router to work again.
      I don't have the problem if I'm 25-30 feet or more away from it.
      It's an odd thing, a puzzle that neither apple or at&t has posted any info on the situation, particularly apple since these smart phones are the latest technology.

  • AC Adapter interfering with Mighty Mouse

    I recently had to buy a new ac adapter and when i hooked up my mighty mouse it went crazy. The mouse tends to be very sensitive to touch, but only when the adapter is plugged in. The mouse will perform some of my expose settings when barely touched. Is there a setting I can change with my adapter or mouse to get this to go away?

    Dear wim,
    Thank you so much for your kind words. Its comforting to know that this difficulty is probably unfixable. At least I have a probable answer, and know that at least I am not alone.
    I will continue to bother thru a few days more before I return this Mighty Mouse and buy another, undoubtedly a Windows type. Being somewhat a purist, I don't want to have to contaminate the Mac with a Windows thing, but.... Can't help hoping that there's another solution, and that I won't have to buy another. Hope springs eternal!
    I will continue to watch this discussion and hope that some other solution presents itself. I have a sneaking suspicion that you're right.

  • Creative HS-1200 interfering with my wireless network.

    Hello, I just got the HS-1200 headset and they're great, but they seem to be interfering with my wireless lan. For example when playing World of Warcraft with the headset turned on, I will get a huge lagspike and my ping will rise to about 1500-2000 ms, that is if I don't get disconnected. The sound in the headset works just fine.
    I've tried changing the channel the wireless network is running on, but to no use so far.
    Is there anything else I can do?

  • Qemu - Bridged networking with wireless adapter

    How can I use bridged networking with wireless on Qemu virtual machine? With virtualbox it can be easily done. I don't why in Qemu it is so complicated, maybe virtualbox have completely difference mechacnism on this. I've read the wiki, it looks like impossible to use wireless for bridged networking. If it is really impossible, why virtualbox can do it?
    And, in arch wiki's qemu manual, i didn't see how to use NetworkManager there to do bridged networking. Since, I use NetworkManager and disable the others (like netct and dhcpcd), it make it even more complicated. But, maybe it's because me that don't understand. Maybe someone experienced here can give me a way around this?

    bagol wrote:How can I use bridged networking
    It's up to you to set up the bridged network - or use TAP, e.g.:
    ip tuntap add dev <devname> mode tap user <youruser>
    ip lin set <devname> up
    ip route ...
    ... and proxy_arp
    ... and iptables forwarding & masquerade
    It's a good learning experience, to set up the network yourself, rather than have VirtualBox do similar things by *magic*

  • How to deal with a shared network connection when installing 10 EX

    I am in the process of setting up a Virtual PC XP environment on my Vista Business machine to load Oracle EX in the virtual environment. I am having an issue of receiving a shared network connection with my broadband wireless card within the virtual XP SP3 environment, which Internet access is required for the Oracle EX installation. I checked out a couple tech sites and could not find a solution. I might have to get an Internet access at home from TWC.
    How to resolve this conflict? Thanks.

    I am not sure how +"I am having an issue of receiving a shared network connection with my broadband wireless card within the virtual XP SP3 environment"+ can be resolved on an Oracle forum? There are probalby Windows experts on the forum but I would personally aim for a Windows forum.
    You may want to double check if Oracle XE is even running in a Virtual PC environment before starting this exercise.

  • Map shared network drive from a Win XP pro machine to use with Time Machine

    I have an external USB hard drive connected to a Windows XP Pro computer. The drive has two partitions that I created on my mac. One is a formated for Time Machine and one formated in fat for windows.
    When connected by USB to the mac I can access both partitions and Time Machine works great. When connected to the XP I can only see and access the fat partition but Time Machine does not see it.
    My goal is to have the external drive connect by USB to the XP machine (because it is always on and connected) and use the external drive to backup the pc by USB and the Mac with time machine over my wireless.
    Can I do this and where am I going wrong?

    Tech support advised me that this will not work. Time Machine can not backup to an shared network drive unless unless it is connected to Time Capsule. No doubt this is a marketing strategy and not a design flaw.

  • Better to create or extend my existing network? (Time Capsule, Express, AppleTV with wireless modem internet)

    We have Optus ADSL broadband (Australia) running wireless via a 'Sagemcom F@ST 3864 Optus' modem. We have an Airport Time Capsule (for backup) and an Airport Express (for music connection) and Apple TV.
    I currently have the Time Capsule (Express & TV) set up as their own network, sharing the internet from the Optus wireless network. Is creating a new network like this the best scenario? Or is it better to extend the existing Optus wireless network? Besides extension for range/reception, does either option have particular benefits over the other?
    Other than internet, we just stream music/movies from laptops & phones to speakers/TV, so the thinking behind creating a new network rather than extending, was based on the assumption that the Time Capsule may be better at data transfer than the modem?
    Any thoughts would be great!

    Is creating a new network like this the best scenario? Or is it better to extend the existing Optus wireless network? Besides extension for range/reception, does either option have particular benefits over the other?
    I would say it is about 50-50.. 6 of one .. half a dozen of the other.
    Any scenario you dream up has a set of good points and bad points.
    So some factors.
    1. I presume you have the TC plugged by ethernet into the Sagem modem.. bridged and creating its own network.. using two different network names keeps the local connection load contained which is good thing.
    Wireless is fundamentally poor. It has limits on being only able to handle a single client at a time.. so time slicing between all the clients. plus it is half duplex.. which is simply it can either transmit or receive not both.
    In comparison, Ethernet via modern switches.. can have multiple computers talking to each other at once and can both tx and rx, ie full duplex. So using extend wireless is very bad. It means wireless is much slower as each packet is double handled.
    Using multiple APs connected back by ethernet to a main router is definitely the right way to go. They can be in roaming or setup with completely different names.. that is almost irrelevant. It is easier though to manage when you do the naming and setup so you specifically allocate load.
    For example.. if the TC is doing backups from TM on the computers and you start having streaming issues with the Apple TV, split the load, by naming the 2.4ghz and 5ghz differently in the TC.. and force backups to 5ghz and streaming to 2.4ghz (or visa versa depending on range issues etc.).
    2. Network wise different AP should all live happily together in one happy family. The reality is that more equipment leads to more issues. I have been hitting a few issues lately with wireless routers exactly in your setup being unavailable to the network, if a computer happens to be connected to the wrong router.
    For example a computer connected to the Sagem, whether by wireless or ethernet, may have issues backing up to the TC. It shouldn't but it does. I am seeing Mavericks in particular giving strife this way.
    Someone recently posted a very helpful article on why this is happening.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5863043?tstart=0
    For most people in a home network you do not want the hassle of running a server. But you can see that sometimes things start getting complicated.
    Best principle is hope for the best.. set it up as per what you have done.. if it bombs or is unstable.. work back through the issues.. there are some alternative configurations which are more complicated.. eg running the TC with static IP, that seems to alleviate some of the bugs.
    3. What works is best. Whatever the theory.. try a few setups.. what you setup that works well for you is the best even if the theory says no.. that is bad.
    eg One post a person used roaming network with all AP's fixed to the same channel, so the idevices would roam properly. This is wrong.. but works.. normal roaming network laptops seem to be able to roam well but idevices do not. Pick what works.

    Hi,
    If you're in a domain, then as S Guna siad, you should guarantee appropriate permissions to users.
    If you're not in a domain, then you can use "Password protected sharing", but this setting doesn't have effect on computers in a homegroup
    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings, All networks, turn on "Password protected sharing"

  • Problems with internet sharing/network connection/ethernet and XBOX 360

    So basically I have a sent my Mac Book Pro 13" (Snow Leopard) away to be fixed, and in return I got a loan Mac Book Pro 15" (Lion). In the two weeks my Mac book was away getting fixed I purchased an XBOX 360, because of my location I am unable to use wireless on my XBOX, so instead I connect the loan Mac Book to the XBOX 360 via network cable.
    This worked fine and I could now connect to XBOX Live and be on the Mac Book at the same time.
    So today my Mac Book (13") is returned, I connect everything up exactly the same also changing the settings on internet sharing making sure that it can be used to send the connection to other devices via ethernet.
    But it just wont connect.
    The XBOX doesnt find the connection like it did before, and it also doesnt register on the MAC Book either.
    I've tried different cables, the same cable I used where it worked before.
    I've tried turning of Virus protection.
    Both still at both ends it is not registering a connection, I have used this Mac Book before through a network cable so I dont think there is a problem there, to my knowledge everything is the same as I did on the other Mac Book but this one does work.
    Have you any advice or tips on how to get this to work?
    Thanks for your time.

    What I did to get my network running again (although I still haven't found out why DHCP has stopped working):
    1. Open the Control Panel of the computer that's trying to connect to the network (not the computer sharing the internet connection)
    2. Go to 'Network' panel, and select the AirPort connection
    3. Under the 'TCP/IP' tab, change 'Configure IPv4' pull-down menu from 'Using DHCP' to 'Manually'.
    4. Enter an IP address between 10.0.2.2 and 10.0.2.256 (I randomly chose 10.0.2.40), a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, and enter 10.0.2.1 in the Router box.
    5. Click "Apply now"
    The computer should now be connected to the network, and able to access the internet. If not, you may need to manually enter a DNS server - put '4.2.2.1' (or an IP for a DNS server provided by your ISP) into the 'DNS Servers' box.
    You need to do that process for each computer you're trying to connect to the shared network, making sure you enter a different IP Address for each.

  • Impossible connecting with wireless network Netgear WNR 2000

    I can not log on to my wireless network (Netgear WNR 2000) with my macbook. My other PC:s work fine and connect always. My Macbook only connect after I have restarted the router. When I use my Macbook in other places I can connect with wireless network. What is the problem?

    I'm assuming that you're using the right network password!  After that, the most common causes of difficulty are:
    - The router not set up for DHCP and so cannot allocate an IP address to the MacBook
    - The router has "MAC" Address Authentication (a security feature - don't mistake MAC for Mac[intosh]) turned on and the AirPort MAC address isn't in the pass list.
    - The default "Automatic" location in System Preferences > Networks has been modified so that it no longer works.

  • Sangean digital radio with wireless network music player

    Hi.  I have just purchased a Sangean digital internet radio with wireless network player.
    Can I link this to itunes on my 2010 Mac?
    Is there any way I can easily convert my Itunes library to windows media player to support this functionality?

    A couple of things that come to mind to check... Does the SBWM device connect to your wireless network when you turn it on? SBWM device on power up / init finishes with 2 solid green indicators. If it ends with 2 solid green then you can check the network assigned IP from the remote / system settings, make sure you're on the same subnet as your PC. If SBWM lights end up with solid blinking green the SBWM did not connect to the wireless network. If this is the case make sure your DSL modem has the radio turned on. Make sure the DSL modem has the 802.b protocol turned on. Do you use network security. The highest level security the SBWM will support is WEP 28, if your new DSL modem is set for WPA or higher the SBWM will not be able to connect to the network. If you were using WEP security on your old cable modem the key in the new DSL modem will need to be identical to what you had on your cable modem, or you'll have to do the SBWM network setup via USB to load the new WEP key to the SBWM device. Hope these suggestions are of use. W3

  • Need help with HP OfficeJet 6210 over windows shared network.

    Hello All,
    I have a HP OfficeJet 6210 that is hooked up to my Dell PC. The printer is setup on share mode and works well with other pc's on the network.
    However, I am having problems with it working on my G5. When I goto System Preferences then Printer/Fax setup. I click on the printing tab, I am able to find the printer over the shared network and it set's it up as the default printer. So all that works fine, but when I try to print nothing happens. I looked at the driver and noticed the correct one is not being used. I am having a hard time installing the correct driver. On the G5 if I click on the Printer setup and then look under model. I do not see my printer listed anyway. Is there a simple way to add this driver to the list?
    Thank you,
    Michael

    Thanks David. I have downloaded that file from the HP website, however I am having trouble locating that driver on my Mac HD. When I hook the printer directly to the Mac, it automatically selects driver 3.3. When I try to use the printer while connected to my Dell maching running XP, I cannot find the driver or the model of the printer from the drop down menus in the printer setup utility (under windows printing.) I was going to try to locate the driver myself by selecting "other" instead of finding it by selecting "manufacturer" then "model" of printer. I hope this makes sense.

  • Can I use it for both a backup drive and shared network drive?

    Is it possible to use the Time Capsule for both an automatic backup drive for my Mac AND use it as a shared network drive to store my large library of home videos?  If so, does it require partitioning the drive and are there instructions available?  Alternatively, if I store my home videos on its own network drive, will Time Capsule backup this drive too?  If I don't want any external drives tethered to my mac, how would set up the  2 drive scenario, so that home video drive can be shared on the network?
    To be specific, I'm looking for a networked drive solution that allows me to do the following:
    1) automatically back up my Mac
    2) act as the primary storage drive for 750GB of the kids home videos (to save room on Mac) [Side question - ]
    3) have the ability to watch the home videos on both my family room Apple TV (is this even possible?) and my kitchen Mac Mini display (would my Mac's iMovie's library be able to include my home video content  that is stored on a network drive, or does it require the content to be  on the Mac hard drive?). 
    4) If I use a two drive solution  (time capsule backup and cheaper second drive), I want to be able to have Time Capsule back up the home video content on the second drive. 
    5) I do not want any drive tethered to my Mac, only wirelessly connected.  Would the second drive be connected to the Time Capsule?  How would this be set up? 
    Many thanks!

    basically yes, but i wouldn't recommend it.
    If so, does it require partitioning the drive and are there instructions available?
    the disk in the TC can't be partitioned in the traditional way. but you can use disk utility to create a "fixed-size" sparse disk image on the TC's disk for use with other data. use the instructions here, just leave out the encryption part.
    Alternatively, if I store my home videos on its own network drive, will Time Capsule backup this drive too?
    no.
    time machine can not back up from network drives.

    1) automatically back up my Mac
    2) act as the primary storage drive for 750GB of the kids home videos (to save room on Mac) [Side question - ]
    consider a NAS that is time machine compatible.
    3) have the ability to watch the home videos on both my family room Apple TV (is this even possible?) and my kitchen Mac Mini display (would my Mac's iMovie's library be able to include my home video content  that is stored on a network drive, or does it require the content to be  on the Mac hard drive?).
    it's possible to stream content stored on a TC (or NAS) to TV. using home sharing, your mini would be able to access files in homeshared libraries.
    it doesn't matter where the files are stored as long as iTunes knows they are there. in other words, the content needs to be in an iTunes/TV friednly format and in your iTunes library - that doesn't mean the content can't be stored on an external HD, a TC, or a NAS.
    4) If I use a two drive solution  (time capsule backup and cheaper second drive), I want to be able to have Time Capsule back up the home video content on the second drive.
    What can Time Machine back up, and where can it put it’s backups?
    5) I do not want any drive tethered to my Mac, only wirelessly connected. 
    IMO, your best course of action is to get a NAS. if you're interested, i can highly recommend this device by Synology.
    Synology NASes play very well with Macs and have excellent backup features on board. given enough space (i have 4x2 TB drives installed) you can store your media files there, use time machine to backup your Macs to it and can use the on-board backup solution to back up the whole shebang to a USB drive connected to the NAS.
