3rd Party Airport PCI Card will not connect

My Power Mac has a Airport compatible PCI card which will not connect to my network. When I upgraded to 10.5 before it broke, It had better chances to connect. HELP ME! I'm currently using Internet Connection Sharing to connect.

Never Mind.

  • New WIFI card will NOT connect correctly.

    Hi,
    I just purchased a Gigafast WF748-CUI wireless card for my iMac G3 running Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.10) and I followed the instructions exactly and did everything right but it will NOT connect. It keeps generating these weird IP addresses beginning with 168. but my networks IP address begins with 192. I had the same problem with my previous WIFI card on the iMac but it would work eventually. I have been messing with this one for like 2 hours and it has shown no sign of working. I even entered a manual IP address in but still nothing. The program for the wireless card says its connected but it is not (or isnt connected to the right IP anyway). What do I do?

    Sooo, there's no way the CP has to "Join" a Network? Just says you're connected to 169.x.x.x?
    Might try making a New Location in Network CP, turn off all other Ports, the set the IPv4 settings to Manually...
    IP: 192.168.0.5
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.168.0.1
    Assuming the Router is 192.168.0.1, but change the 2nd & 3rd digits accorcdingly.

  • Green light on Airport Extreme but will not connect to internet

    I have tried restarting computer and Airport Extreme but it will not connect to internet.  Unit has been working great up until now.  I have made no changes in system.
    This Airport/time machine is 2009 version.

    The Cisco DPC 3010 is a cable modem, so you will need to let the modem completely reset before you connect it to the AirPort Extreme.
    It may be necessary to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme and reconfigure it, but we will try a shortcut first to see if that can be avoided.
    Power off the entire network.....all devices....modem, AirPort, computers, mobile devices, etc in any order that you want.
    Be sure to disconnect the power cable on the modem, either on the back of the device or pull the power cord from the wall AC jack
    Leave everything powered off for at least 30 minutes.  Longer is better, as it sometimes takes the equipment back at the ISP longer to completely reset and issue a new fresh IP address to the modem.
    After the wait period, power up the modem first, and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself. If your modem documentation states that the modem should be powered up for 15 minutes, then go with 15.
    Power up the AirPort Extreme next, and let it run a few minutes
    Then power up other devices one at a time about a minute apart
    When the entire network is back up, check the network.
    It this does not work, you will have to start over again as above, except this time you will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the AirPort Extreme.
    To do that, power off the AirPort Exterme for a few minutes
    Hold in the reset button on the back of the Extreme.....and keep holding it in for an additional 9-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the Extreme
    Release the reset button after the hold period, and allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
    Power off the AirPort now, and start it back up in the proper sequence
    If things still don't work, then you likely have a defective AirPort Extreme that will need to be replaced.

  • Airport Express is recognized in AirPort Utility but will not connect.

    I just bought a brand new Airport Extreme from Best Buy yesterday and have it set up perfectly. However, now my Airport Express (that I use to stream music to my stereo via Airtunes) will not connect. I have reset the Airport Express many times and it still won't connect. Here is what is crazy... the Airport Express is recoginized within the AirPort Utility, however when I click 'Continue' I get this message:
    "Warning: Are you sure you want to switch wireless networks? Setting up this Apple wireless device requires switching networks. Switching networks may interupt your connection to the Internet"
    I click 'OK' and I get this message "Connecting To Network' Connecting to network 'Apple Network 08ded7'. Please wait..."
    Than the message disappears and I stay on the same screen I started from (I don't advance to the next setup screen... repeat and it does the same thing.
    I've disabled my firewalls and still no luck. Also, the Airport Express shows an Orange light both on the device and the AirPort Utility.
    Anyone know what the deal may be?
    Thanks in advance!!

    Not sure why, but I installed the Airport Utility software on a differnt PC and was able to get the Airport Express configured and working just fine now. Hmmmmm...
    So nice to have my music playing again - love Airtunes!

  • Airport Extreme Card (will not automatically connect to home network)

    Running OSX (10.4.7) on a G5 2.0 DualCore. I just had an Airport Extreme Card installed by Apple a week ago. Everything was working fine with WiFi ( I use a Lynksys Router. But oddly now when I cold boot up, the Airport Extreme will not automatically connect to my home network. The little Airport icon on the upper right is always greyed out ( even though clicking on the icon... says that Airport is "On" ). So I now have to manually select my home network everytime I boot up. The first week or so though, I didn't have to do this...it just automtically connected to my home network. I made no changes to the router settings, nor the Network prefs.

    I have been able to get my home network running with simultaneous access to the internet with the MacMini and the PB G4 via a WL router (Netgear WGR614v4 with four ethernet ports).
    This was the process:
    1a) Turned off airport on both computers.
    1b) Turned off both compters and
    1c) disconnected the router from the cable modem.
    a) Disconnected ethernet cable from WL router to Macmini.
    2b) Powered down the router for 10 seconds.
    3a) Keeping both computers unpowered,repowered router and pressed the reset button (behind an unmarked tiny hole in the back of the router) then re-connected it to cable modem. Waited 30 - 40 seconds until internet service lights flickered green.
    3b) Reconnected ethernet cable to MacMini and turned on power for MacMini. No Airport running. With administrator privilege I configured in Syst. Prefs. "Sharing" folder Internet access using "Built in Ethernet" port for computers running "Airport".
    4) Turned Airport network on in MacMini and started browser.
    Result: Internet connection established.
    5a) Powered up PB G4 and then turned Airport on.
    5b) In Syst. Prefs. in "Sharing" folder turned Internet Sharing off. But set "Share your connection from Airport" to computers using: Airport with check-mark. (No Built-in Ethernet and no Built-in FireWire!)
    5c)Started browser. Result: Internet connection established.
    6a) In the Finder window of both computers I clicked on "Go" in toolbar and looked for the name of the other computer, which were listed as alias besides the "Library" and "Servers" aliases. Clicking on the computer alias brought up the 'Networked Globe' and a control button "Connect".
    6b) Clicking on "Connect" brought up the mounted drive of the other computer.
    Result: Wireless network operational.
    PS: I don't dare yet using encryption for the airport network. That's for another day.

  • Help with a 3rd party airport extreme card

    I have a G4 power mac running 10.3.9. I purchased the following 3rd party card on ebay:
    - Truly Plug & Play - NO complicated software CD setup at all.
    - Uses Airport Drivers built into MAC OS X
    - Amazing 802.11g 54Mbps Wireless - Airport Extreme speed
    - Range: 50' Indoors, 150' outdoors (maximum range in ideal conditions).
    - Supports WPA (TKIP,AES),802.1x and standard 128/64-bit WEP Wireless Security
    - Fully Compatible with: Apple Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White), G4 Power Mac (all models except Cube) or G5 (tower, PCI model only) computers, with a spare PCI slot, running Mac OS X 10.2.6 with AirPort installer, or Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, 10.4 Tiger & 10.5 Leopard.
    Installed the card in an open slot and Airport setup assistant does not find it. The lights on the card are dark and it just is not working. So far the seller has not responded to my emails. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to get this thing running? Thanks

    What model G4. You need to add this info to your Apple Discussions profile.
    What is the make/model of the Airport card?
     Cheers, Tom

  • Airport Express that will not connect to broadband

    We recently moved to China. I have tried everything I know and received some help from Apple telephone service and a local source but the Express will not work correctly with the incoming signal. I can hook my Powerbook G4 up to the incoming signal via ppoe with a password and I got the Express to work through a PC in the room acting as a server and using a hub, sort of. With the server I could get on Yahoo but nothing else will/would load. I tried the DNS server number but this did not help with the Express loading pages while using the PC server and hub. I had tried hard reset onthe Express a few times to no avail, though this was needed for it to work at all. I get a good signal from the Express and I get the green lock light but I do not get a true connection to the web.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as we have two macs and really need the wireless feed for the work we are doing at Jishou University.

    I'll answer your question here - but if you want to continue this discussion please start a brand new discussion topic of your own. Your problem has very little in common with that of John Amato - just because the symptoms are "it doesn't work!" doesn't mean the problem is the same.
    Yes, a Linksys wireless router will work perfectly with Macs equipped with an Airport card.
    Since you installed an Airport card into your eMac - does your eMac now have an Airport menu item (the fan shaped icon near the right side of the MacOS menu bar)? If so, click on the Airport menu - and a list of in-range wireless networks will appear. Click on the name of your Linksys router's wireless network to connect to it. If your Linksys router is protected with a wireless security protocol and password, your Mac will now prompt you to enter the password - and to help you any further beyond this point I will need to have you tell us what protocol (WEP or WPA) you are using.
    If your eMac:
    - doesn't have an Airport card menu, then tell us exactly what model of eMac you are using
    - doesn't show your Linksys router's name when you click on the Airport menu, recheck the Airport card installation inside your eMac and make sure you plugged the antenna cable connector into its socket on the Airport card AND you fully inserted that connector (which takes a fair bit of force).

  • Airport extreme card is not connecting automatically

    I've installed an airport extreme card on my Mac Pro, but every time, I have to go to "network" and connect manually... any ideas? It's my only network and the "remember networks" is checked.

    Hi!
    Sounds as though maybe your AE wireless card may have failed;
    and if you've tried more than a few times to re-seat the card into
    the slot and had no results, you may see about trying the card
    in another compatible computer to see if just the card is bad.
    You may be able to swap out the part to restore wireless access;
    but I am not sure of any situation that may limit your recourse
    through the reseller of the card you now have. They may not take
    it back, in other words. But to find out if the issue is your AE Card
    or some other potential issue is an important pursuit. So, if you
    can, perhaps a reseller of new parts can let you see if a new card
    will resolve this issue by trying a new card and see if it shows in
    the System Profiler; and if access to the internet is available nearby,
    to also see if it connects readily.
    Good luck and happy computing!

  • 3rd party USB PCI card and Leopard

    I installed a USB 2.0 Compusa Card in my Dual 867 Mac several Years ago, to get USB 2.0 speeds when i got a new Ipod. When 10.4, most t=of the time, early versions not included, I was unable to put the card computer to sleep and then be able to revive it. Leopard fixed that problem, but now the card is losing ports. It is a four port card, and the currently the two inner most ports are not working. The two outer ports are still working. I have had since prior to installing 10.5 my Iphone, Dock, A USB external Drive, for time machine, A USB hub, and my Keyboard attached to the USB 2.0 card. Now the drive disappeared and I am unable to retrieve. Anyone else having this Problem, has anyone had this problem and resolved it. Any help would be appreciated. I am contemplating a New PCI USb 2.0 card, but Not sure if it is the card or Leopard, as i have not had a any problems until 10.5 and 10.5.1 installations.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello.
    I have a G4 Dual 1.42GHz (FW800) and an USB 2.0 PCI card (VIA chipset) and it also worked very fine under Tiger. Since this card is sold for the PC market it doesn't bring a driver for Mac OS X.
    I went to the VIA site (http://www.via.com.tw/), there I could found they have another site with drivers for almost any OS. This is the address: http://www.viaarena.com/default.aspx?PageID=2
    Click on the Mac OS choice in the list and then in USB to get the driver. The driver version is 1.60 and it supports G4 systems ONLY and OS versions: MAC OS X 10.2.x, MAC OS X 10.3.x, MAC OS X 10.4.x. Nothing is said about MAC OS 10.5.x.
    Unfortunately it doesn't work in my G4 with Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). I also tried to use the USB 2.0 PCI card before installing the driver to see if Apple could have done a driver of its own, but it also didn't work.
    If your card has a VIA chipset I recommend you write an e-mail to VIA Technologies, Inc. and tell your problem and ask for the update. I did it too.
    I hope they can work it out soon.

  • Itunes 10.6.1.7 (on windows 7 64 bit) recognizes airport express, but will not connect.

    I've attempted disabling all firewalls (both PC and anti-virus), disabling ipv6, rebooting the airport unit itself, but no luck. I'm not prompted with an error, however, as itunes is attempting to connect the airplay icon turns blue, and when it doesn't connect the icon turns gray again. On a sidenote, my old macbook connects without issue. Any ideas?

    Thx Hackintosh. All software was up to date as of this morning, but I think the issue stemmed from the IP switching in my building. I finanlly stripped the express/utility completely off the box and reinstalled from scratch after doing a factory reset of the airport unit itself... and finally, eureka. Of course, doing this required resetting my apple machines to the updated airport address. I will say that if anyone wants to run both apple and PC machines on the same airport, set up the PC first and then link the apple machine(s) second. Way easier than the other way around.

  • Sierra Wireless USB card  will not connect

    I have purchased a Sierra Wireless USB card (AT&T USB Connect 881) to use with a iBook G4. The green power lites are solid green. However, I can not get a signal from AT&T. No one has been able to help solve this problem. I am ready to return it to AT&T for a refund.

    Thx for ur reply. I just checked the model of the USB adapter is Belkin Basic N150.
    The xp is able to see and identify the iphone wireless network and shows it in available networks with full signal strength. Once I click on connect then an alert message says that it is detecting network type pls wait. Then another message appears stating that "selected network may be no longer in range. Pls refresh the list and connect again"
    As suggested by you I will try it on windows 7.

  • External 3rd party USB DVD drive will not show up on my 2008 Macbook pro

    I have a the new Macbook pro, when I connect my Liteon USB DVD drive it does not show up my Macbook pro. The only DVD drive showing up is the one on my Macbook pro. How do I make the 2nd DVD drive show up. I just need to 2nd drive to tranfers data from dvd to the external drive.

    Hi, ipodtrip1. Nothing will appear on your MBP's desktop unless there is a disc in the drive. Does a disc in the drive not appear either?
    If not, does System Profiler detect the drive as a connected device?
    If you have another USB device you can connect to your computer, disconnect the optical drive and connect the other device. Does System Profiler detect that device?
    If not, reset the System Management Controller, and see whether doing so reactivates your USB port.

  • Old Airport card (b protocol) will not connect to Airport Express

    Hi,
    I have an one year old Intel IMac running OS/X 10.5.7 and recently bought the Airport express. Setup went smooth and fast and within 10 minutes it was working. I did all the software and firmware updates.
    Then I connected my wife's Windows laptop, network was detected and the password was accepted immediately so I got that connected as well.
    Last, but apparently not least, I tried to connect my G3 iBook running OSX 10.2.8 with an Airport card (not the extreme but the predecessor) so I could use that one in the garden but it will not connect.
    When I open the airport icon on the top of the screen then I see the network. If I select it and try to connect I have to enter a password. After a few seconds I get a message that "There was an error joining the selected Airport network".
    When I use the Airport Setup assistant to establish the connection if tells me that "the password you entered was incorrect".
    I was told that the Airport Express station is able to use a 801.11b protocol since that is what the old card uses.
    I checked the password, I used textedit to type it first and the 'cut and paste' but nothing seems to work.
    Long story but I hope I gave enough information for someone to resolve this problem for me. I cannot reply immediately to all replies but I will read them all.
    Thank you,
    Henk

    Hello CarreraHenk. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    When I open the airport icon on the top of the screen then I see the network. If I select it and try to connect I have to enter a password. After a few seconds I get a message that "There was an error joining the selected Airport network".
    Which wireless encryption standard are you using on your new 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station's (AXn) wireless network ... WEP, WPA or WPA2?
    For WPA, the minimum requirements are the AirPort Card & OS X 10.3.n. The AirPort Card will not support WPA2.
