2 network connections at the same time

I have 2 network connections at the same time. One for network shares and one for internet. How can I decide which connection should be used for which service?

David684,
Thanks for posting all of this. I have a similar network question with a very similar setup that I am using with two interfaces. However, I am much less comfortable with the command line than you appear to be (although comfortable enough to crib little tweaks from the web and run them).
The real difference is the resources I'm after and it seems like more of a problem. In my case, I'm running my home wireless network and can connect at decent speeds, but I happen to live right across from campus where I am attending grad school and I'm picking up the school wifi network. Having direct access to this network, among other things, allows me to access library research journals and databases from home without constantly needing to authenticate. But it isn't nearly enough to accomodate all of my network needs. The key difference, then, is the fact that these come in the form of websites. But I want to access only library stuff over that we-fi connection and do everything else from the LAN. I use an app called papers for research, which has a built in web browser to allow me to pull up articles and then save them. Would that help me by allowing me to have just that program use wi-fi? I am not sure if the app is using an embedded safari session or it's own home-rolled browser, or how to check in the first place (OR if that makes a difference as far as being able to route the app's traffic to that interface). Also, with all of that said, how could I find out the subnets over which to route this if what I'm going after is a far less tangible resource than an SMB share? I am guessing I need a different method or that none exist?
Thanks

Using two network connections at the same time?

Dears,
I have two available Internet connections:
1- a DSL connection which I'm connected with AirPort to,
2- and a 3G USB modem connection (Huawei E156G if you need to know) which I setup through Network Preferences.
Can I specify anywhere which connection an application should use at a given time, or all the time?
For instance,
a- Safari and Mail should use exclusively (or at first try) the AirPort connection,
b- and iGetter (for faster downloads) should use the 3G connection
Let me point out that I setup the 3G modem in Network Preferences (and that's the way I connect to it).
By the way, if someone has trouble (which I had) setting up the Huwaei E156G on Snow Leopard, I can help.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Abdelaziz

By default, the top-most service in the Network preferences gets the internet connection. All internet related traffic is sent on that interface.
As far as using both for internet at same time, I'm not sure how to do that. You might search for setting up routes. Routes in the network tell it to send certain things to a certain interface, but I don't know how to differentiate a download from web surfing, etc.
You might also want to try posting that question on the [Unix|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735] forum.

Can I use both Wifi and a Lan connection at the same time?

With me back in the dorms I have been limited to a slower connection than what I would like. Now we are able to use both Wifi and a Lan line so I was wondering to somewhat "double" my speed if there was any way to use both connections at the same time.
Now I know that you can have both plugged in at the same time, I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way that I could set programs to use one or the other? Or some kind of virtual desktop that is set to use the other connection or anything that would allow both be used at the same time.
Or am I just wishing for something that doesn't have any possible way to work?

You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
Sorry.

Can't i use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time?

Hello to all and thanks in advance.I use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time and the problem is that when I try to export the xml, the outcome is not what i expect.Without the oledb connection everything is ok (just the schema) and the xml complies with the schema.
Can't i have both schema and oledb and the exported xml be as i want it?

Can the airport express be used to stream music and act as network "extender" at the same time?

I have a time capsule as my base station but need to improve network coverage in the other end of the house. Have a new airport express that I use for music streaming. Can this airport express be used for both music streaming and "network extension" at the same time, or do I need to buy another product?

Yes, it can. You can either:
Extend a wireless network. The Express needs to be positioned half way between the TC and the area without network coverage, and can be flakey. This is wireless only.
Use Ethernet/Powerline. This is the preferred option (called a roaming network in Apple terminology). This allows for the Express to be placed wherever you want, as long as it reaches the other end of the house.

Wired and Wifi has to be connected at the same time to not be disconnected!

I work as a tester for WoW and for the past few months, I’ve had connection issues. I’ve had Comcast come out a few times and they are so eager to leave they look up the speed and say, “Oh you are good on speed” well I’m not. Every few mins I’m disconnected from the server. It’s not my computer and I’ve done every thing WoW suggested. The ONLY way I’m able to stay online for an hour is I have to have the wired and WiFi connected at the same time on my desktop. If you have any suggestions let me know.

I have posted this many, many times here. See if this helps you understand how this process works with regard to system sounds and screen rotation lock.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

2 wireless connections at the same time

Hi !
First, sorry for my english, i am french....(yeah i know i know....)
Let me explain my problem. I have at home a Macbook pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.7, a time capsule (1To) and a modem/router netgear. It's a big house so my Netgear modem/router in antoher room.
I would like to use my Time capsule only as an external hard drive (wireless) to have the maximum power of data transmission with the norm 802.11n. I know this norm don't have a lot of range ( 5 meters...)
How can i configure my time capsule to do that ?
Will i be able to connect at the same time (with my Macbook pro) to my time capsule (on 802.11n) and keep my internet connection active ( 802.11 G) through my Netgear router ?
I want to do that just because my router Netgear is to far away from my macbook pro to use the 802.11n with time capsule. So if connect the time capsule to the netgear via ethernet, i loose a lot of power for the data transmission (too slow the see movie etc, backup copy etc..).
I hope you understand me and it will be very nice to you to help me.
Thanks !

Hi Tesserax
Thanks for the reply, sorry maybe I didn't explain my idea. I don't want to connect the Airport Express to the router well certainly not via a cable. I want to have the Airport Express basically be a hub for a printer and a couple of external hard drives and not be attached to a modem. I want to try and keep the current modem/router configuration I have, if possible. Therefore I'm asking whether I can have a wireless connection to the router for internet access and a separate connection to the Airport Express for the printer/hardrives. If this is not possible that's ok.
Thanks again

Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?

Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?
This is to avoid transmission when I work without the need for wireless

Yes, you can. Just open the web interface of the router. On your browser type the IP address of your router, usually http://192.168.1.1 go to wireless tab and disable it.

Acces both network interfaces at the same time

Hello community,
I have a little problem that I cant seem to solve.
My iMac is connected wired to a network wich has all ports blocked except the the neccecery ports wich are required for the company network.
Besides that, there is also an open wifi network wich has no ports blocked. In order for iMessage to work properly, I must use the wifi network, however when wifi is activated and is set as the first network, work related software dont work since they need a connection to the secure network.
So my question is:
Is there any way to acces both networks at the same time ?
Or let one app use one network connection and another app use wifi.
Thanks a lot!

The behavior you describe sounds quite unusual. Can you provide a screenshot of the window you are attempting to move?
If you are describing the process of moving a tab from one Internet Explorer window to another on a separate screen, you do not need to drag the tab to the taskbar icon when transitioning between
windows, you can drag the tab directly from the row of tabs on one window to the other.
If you are clicking a button in the window bar that minimizes multiple windows simultaneously, you may be describing a third party window management application (NVIDIA nView, AMD HYDRAVISION).

Is it possible to have to ipods connected at the same time?

i have a 20G ipod and i just got an ipod nano. i can connect 1 or the other and update my music but i can't connect both at the same time. should i be able to do this?

No, I believe this is normal behavior, and you should NOT be able to connect both at the same time...

Phone call and internet connection at the same time?

Is the iPhone 3G supposed to be able to connect through 3G or Edge at the same time a voice phone call is on?
I can do that with Windows Mobile phones, using my SIM card. But I seem not to be able to do it with my iPhone.
Is this a limitation of the iPhone 3G?
Would that be enabled with a future firmware?
Thanks for a pointer.
Dan

If you are in a 3G area, you can use data at the same time as a call. If you are in an Edge area, you can do one or the other. The SIM card has nothing to do with how this works.

Charge and connect at the same time

I'm still waiting to get an N8 so can anyone tell me if it's possible to connect up a charger at the same time as using USB to connect a keyboard/mouse and external storage device via a powered usb hub?
In other words, can I use USB devices while it is being externally powered?
What about when it's using a dock that I've briefly seen on some youtube videos?

Sorry, but we're not allowed to speculate about future releases on these forums.
Cheers!

Can Jsp build 2 connections at the same time?

Hi,
Can I make 2 connections with 2 different databases at the same time?
I mean, I need to take 1 value from 1st databases and 1 more value from 2nd database and need to print them on the page.
So, can I use a code segment like below ?
======================================================
                    // builiding connection with 1st database using dsn
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection(dsn,uid,pwd);
Statement st = con.createStatement();
idsql="select max(id)+1 id from table";
ResultSet idrs=st.executeQuery(idsql);
if (idrs.next())
     idref=idrs.getString("id");
     if (idref == null)
          idref = "1";
else
     idref = "1";
session.putValue("id",idref);
                    // building connection with 2nd database using dsn1
Connection con1 = DriverManager.getConnection(dsn1,uid,pwd);
Statement st1 = con.createStatement();
idsql1="select seq_id.nextval tempid from dual";
ResultSet idrs1=st1.executeQuery(idsql1);
idref1="1";
idref1=idrs1.getString("tempid");
sql1 = "insert into table (id2) values(" + idref1 + ")";
st1.executeUpdate(sql1);======================================================
Thanks in Advance ..

I am building two separate connections to different databases but I'm doing it a little differently using a bean.
example, in JSP, I have
<%@ page import="beans.*" %>
<jsp:useBean id="menu" class="beans.Menus"></jsp:useBean>
<%
String userProgs = menu.getUserPrograms;
String prodId = menu.getProductId;
%>

Using two internet connections at the same time

Is there a way to setup my Mac to see both a wireless and a wired internet connection, so I can combine the speed of the the connections? If not within the computer, is there a way to do it some other way?

Hi
You can have two connections on your machine one wireless one ethernet but you cannot combine the two for a greater connection , you need to use one or the other you cannot use both at the same time as one connection

In osx 10.8.2, how do I maintain two Bluetooth devices (mouse and head-set) connected at the same time?

I want to use both a Bluetooth mouse and head-set at the same time, is that possible?

Thank PapaSmurf (?)
My problem was that in Sound settings was not indicated the Head-Set device, although existing, but BoomDevice, that greatly enhances the sound level. So what I had to do was first change from BoomDevice to the Head-Set, and then I changed down to Internal speaker and then again chose BoomDevice. That way, I could turn off the Head-Set without getting the error message, and yet maintain the internal speaker through the BoomDevice.
I had a feeling that I had to do something with the sound settings and your reply made me experiment and succeed! Thanks once again!
