11S: can't use ax88179's Ethernet port

As previously discussed in Microsoft's forums, ax88179 is a portable Ethernet card needed for laptops that only have WIFI...like Yoga 11S.
When I download the latest driver Win 8.1 64-bit (both through setup.exe and the direct INF file) and install it, I get this (I use Yoga 11S' latest chipset):
Again, my system is Windows 8.1 64-bit in Yoga 11S:
Can anyone help out?

if all troubleshoot above didn't help, the ultimate thing is try this USB LAN to other machine which have Windows 8.1 to test (Your friend PC or collages) , if issue still persist i suggest you try also to contact Lenovo forum

Hi Venkat,
Please ask this question in routing/switching forum. As far as i know you can only configure pa-mc-8te1 as E1 or T1 ports. For more details please visit the below link.

I need to tell Print services to use the 2nd ethernet port

I need to tell Print services to use the 2nd ethernet port
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light. My research has led me to a dead-end so far. Running 10.3.9 on my server. XServe Dual 2.3
I want to have File services and the various other duties pushed through one ethernet port, and print services on the other. I know there is probably a config file to make one simple edit, but I can not find it, or perhaps a "defaults" type command.
Also, where is this "command-line administration guide" that I keep running across on Apple's support?
Thanks in advance.

Similar issue here too. Is it the subnet? Basically, I'm having a problem printing to an AirportExpress-served printer. Our network looks like this:
(From Outside...>>>...to Inside)
(Public IP) DSL Modem
...(10.0.0.x) Airport Express -- HP DesignJet 100 USB -- Airtunes/stereo
...(10.0.0.x) NetGear Wireless Router
...(10.0.0.x nic 0) Mac OS X Server (192.168.0.x nic1)
......(192.168.0.x) Mac OS X client
......(192.168.0.x) Mac OS X client
......(192.168.0.x) Mac OS X client
The printer driver does not appear to be able to do IP printing, it assumes a direct USB connection. We can setup the OS X Server with the printer served by the Airport Express, as it is found via Bonjour, and then we share its queue via Server Admin. The problem is that the LAN clients cannot print to this server queue. The printer gets stopped at the server.
If we turn OFF the OS X Server's firewall, printing works from both the clients and obviously from the Server. I think my question is this: what ports or services need to be turned on in order for the clients to print? There is no clear checkbox for "Bonjour Printer Sharing", and I'm curious what ports this would open, and if it would be safe. I thought it would work because we're pushing the print job up through the firewall, but apparently some response needs to come back through the firewall, and that's what's not happening.
And to tack onto this, how could we also push iTunes to the Airport Express from the Clients? Assuming the music goes over different ports than the print jobs. ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Can I use a mini display port to VGA adapter and then a VGA to av adapter to connect my MacBook pro to my standard definition tv?

Can I use a mini display port to VGA adapter and then a VGA to av adapter to connect my MacBook pro to my standard definition tv?

No. You need a converter box like this to go with your MDP-VGA adapter:

That's what I thought too, then I bought this USB Ethernet adapter and on the package it says :
"Compatible only with MacBook Air Computers"... so I am not sure if I should open it.
When it was originally released it only worked with the MacBook Air which came with a special version of OS X that supported this adapter. Apple seem to have since built this support in to versions of OS X 10.6 and later for all Macs.
If you have an older version of OS X e.g. 10.3 to 10.5 then an unofficially driver is available here http://www.sustworks.com/sb_site/downloads.html
There are also third-party USB to Ethernet adapters with their own drivers like this one http://www.kanexlive.com/usb3lan

Can I use the new Air port extreme to scan, print, and share a hard drive?

I currently have a canon 3and1 pixma MP750 printer, and a lacie brick 250gb usb external drive. I'm looking into buying a airport extreme "n" base station and a apple tv to share all my music on my home theater. I'm also planning on updating my current system to an Imac 17" intel duo 2.18g. My question is will I be able to use the scan function on my printer with the air port extreme, or is there away to connect multiple computers to 1 printer? (ie emac directly to printer and airport extreme directly to printer via some product I may not know of) And do you for see any problems sharing the HD drive between the emac, a new imac and a windows based pc with xp operating system if connected throught the airport via usb hub to acomidate the printer as well as the HD?
Emac G4 1gig Mac OS X (10.4.1) Shopping for new mac

My question is will I be able to use the scan function on my printer with the air port extreme
Unfortunately, no. The new AirPort Extreme Base Station, like all other AirPort Base Stations, do not support the scan or copy features of "all-in-one" printers attached to their USB ports. This is primarily due to the fact that these features require two-way communications which the USB port does not support.
is there away to connect multiple computers to 1 printer?
Yes, if the printer is Ethernet-enabled, you can connect it to one of the AEBS's LAN ports...or use a Wireless Ethernet Bridge, like the Linksys WET54G to connect the printer wirelessly to the AEBS.
And do you for see any problems sharing the HD drive between the emac, a new imac and a windows based pc with xp operating system if connected throught the airport via usb hub to acomidate the printer as well as the HD?
No, the new AEBS should support this.

Use of two ethernet ports?

My 5 year old Mac Pro is noticeably slower downloading data over the net than is my 1 year old Mac Book Pro, even when they are conntected to the same switch in my home. I know of some systems where two links to the internet can be combined to gain greater throughput. Will the Mac Pro do this?
Adam

two links to the internet can be combined to gain greater throughput
Yes, it literally can, but it requires a specialty Router that supports the feature.
For all practical purposes, except in data center use, the answer is NO.
But that is not the answer at all. Most Internet connections are very slow compared to the Gigabit Ethernet of which your Mac Pro is capable. The connection to the Internet is not likely to be the problem.
First, use Network Utility to check the actual speed of your Ethernet port, and that the Ethernet port is the port being actually used, and that the number of errors reported is extremely trivial and not increasing over time.

How can I really check my ethernet port dead or not ?

I have a Imac CRT 266. I tried to connect the ethernet port using a hub but my hub never receive a signal (led off all the time). Everything seems fine on Imac side (I'm running 10.1.5 - no message on console, I can configure my IP). My hub is OK too, I check with others computers.
Ethernet port could be dead without impact for the rest of the computer ?
Thanks.

Ethernet port could be dead without impact for the rest of the computer ?
Unfortunately, yes. Your test for a green light is the simplest way to test the port. Make sure you have tried this using another piece of cord and used all ports in the hub to confirm. There's a chance that reinstalling the OS might make a difference--assuming the problem is software- rather than hardware-related. Good luck.

Can I use any USB-Ethernet adapter, or do I need to buy the Apple part?

I'm about to get an Air and do the migration from my old PowerBook. Can I use the Netgear USB-Ethernet adapter for the Air, or do I need to buy a new Apple part?

Little update for the usb to ethernet adapter is in order. Both adapters are producing Gigabit ethernet max. Keep in mind that new macbook air has the usb 3 version ports at 5 Gigabit internal speed where Thunderbolt has 10 Gigabit per chanel internal capacity. In ether case more than suficient to provide Gigabit ethernet output. Nither one will push more than that out to the ethernet. In my case the decission was made by availability. I wanted the thunderbolt adapter for the sake of keeping up with the technology but there was none on the shelf.
Just my two cents

How do I add an airport extreme to existing time capsule network and be able to use the router ethernet ports?

Good day everyone. I recently upgraded my airport extreme network by replacing the base station with a time capsule router. Since I now have an "extra" airport extreme router, I've set it up on the other side of the house to both extend the wireless range as well as use it's LAN ports for a home theater system in that location. Connecting the two routers was done via ethernet. It now appears that I need to do something "else" as the LAN ports on the now relocated airport extreme are nonfunctional. All devices are operating well for wireless and as a review, the modem is connected to the time capsule WAN which is connected to the airport extreme via ethernet cable via LAN to it's WAN port. What do I need to change on configurations to get the LAN ports functioning on the airport extreme? Thank you for any help.

With both base stations interconnected by Ethernet you have the basis for a "roaming" type network. If properly configured, both base stations' Ethernet ports would be enabled for wired clients.
The key configuration items for a roaming network are as follows:
All base stations used must be interconnected by Ethernet.
The "main" base station; the one connected to the Internet modem, must be configured to provide both NAT & DHCP services; all other base stations used must be configured as bridges (NAT & DHCP disabled.)
Each base station must have a unique base station name.
Each base station must use the same wireless security type and password.

Using printer's ethernet port as an access point

Hi there,
I have an HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw wirelessly connected to my network. I also have an HP LaserJet 5P, which was connected to my network / wireless router via an ethernet cable using a D-Link DP-301P+ print server. Don't judge...I love that old dinosaur and I use it exclusively for all black and white printing, and it has an envelope feeder. I moved and it's no longer possible for me to have my router in the same room as my printers.
Is it possible to use the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw's ethernet port as an access point for the HP LaserJet 5P using the Link DP-301P+?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
Sounds very interesting, 3:30AM now (I'm watching FIFA games), I will talk with my Networks guys when they come to work and update later.
Regards.
Updated: Talking with the Network guy, he said this may noy work and his recommendation: use LAN over power.

Can't Use Built-in Ethernet-HELP!!!

I am trying to connect a slot loading 350 mhz imac to the internet through the built-in ethernet for a friend that needs it, but the network status pane (OSX.3 Panther) keeps saying the ethernet cable is not plugged in. I've tried several different Cat 5 ethernet cables and it still says this, so we can't connect to the isp (with cable modem). It also says the internal modem is not working, I get the red light next to it and the built-in ethernet buttons in Network status. I've tried direct connections to two different external cable modems, and three different ethernet cables, I think the problem is a software issue that needs correcting. I just got through with a clean install of OS 9.1 and OSX.3, but the network still does not recognize the ethernet cable as being plugged in.
Other things I've tried: zapping the PRAM, and resetting the nv-ram, but to no avail (as suggested by other posts I've come across). I ran Tech Tool 4 on it however,and the Network test PASSED.
Isn't there something I can do in Preferences or terminal so the network can see the built-in ethernet? I'd really appreciate any ideas or suggestions!
Thanks, Chuck

You can easily restore without updating to the latest OS - simply don't purchase it. You can restore from iTunes - on the Summary page, just click on Restore.
As to your WiFi problem (and that is what you most likely experiencing) tell us more about the network you are using, the hardware, who the heck your ISP is and so on. It may be as simple as whoever owns the network is blocking access to Apple sites.
I am assuming by built in sites, you are referring to the App Store, iTunes, etc. correct?
If your network indicates that you are logged in, tap Settings > WiFi. Does your network have a check mark next to it? If it does, tap the blue arrow (>) next to the name. Does your IP address start with 169.x or 192.x?

Can you use a wired ethernet to internet AND wireless to apple tv

since getting the appletv, i had connected it wirelessly through the apple extreme (n) base station and kept my internet setup with gigaport #1 with no problem. since the latest updates, apple tv is very sensitive....does not work if the wired ports are used and will not even show up in iTunes.....anyone having similar problems? anyone able to fix this? thanks

thanks WC.
i saw this post and went to my account, changed it from m/c to none and saw my total update (I had recently rented 2 HD movies so my account decreased accordingly)
BUT, before I left the pay't information screen, I chose cancel instead of done. I wanted to leave my CC there for iphone purchases (and b/c we can't use GCs yet).
Anyhoo, it still worked - and I'm glad it did b/c I just purchased $100 in GCs from the latest best buy sale.
Cheers,

Can AEBS used as a 4 port switch too?

Or is the WAN port dedicated, meaning I can't use it as a LAN port?

If you configure the AEBS to act as a bridge, the WAN port will probably act as LAN port. That is how it works with the older AEBS.

Can I add an extra Ethernet port to my AirPort Extreme (802.11n)???

hi all.
I have an Apple AirPort Extreme (802.11n). On the back I have 3 Ethernet ports. All the 3 ports are used (one for an Ethernet Printer, One is connected to my computer and one is connected to my wife's computer. I need an additional Ethernet port for a music server. I have no idea of how to extend the Ethernet ports number.
Thanks for any Help
David - Canada

Hello David Gershon1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You could simply add a multi-port Ethernet switch to any of the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station's (AEBSn) LAN ports to increase the number of available ports. An example would be the Linksys EZXS55W.
