Add PC to network

How do I add a Windows8 PC to network (give access to files on Mac Mini Server 10.6.8)

First of all you need to figure out what is the problem.
Please open a command window and type ipconfig /all
Check what IP the wireless card has picked up.. if none then you have major issues.. if it has an IP make sure the gateway and dns address are correct.. if not try manually setting them.
Then attempt to ping the TC (I am assuming you are running a TC). Ping an internet site.. tell us what you get.
If the IP setup is correct but packets are not passing. The driver is likely broken or corrupt or the wireless simply doesn't work. Via device manager, remove the wireless card.. download the latest wireless driver from the manufacturer and reboot the pc and load the driver..
Still no luck, go and buy a new wireless USB stick.. they are like $20.. and try that.
Remember to use wireless names that are SMB compatible in the TC.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
Test with fixed wireless channels.. and no security at all.

How to add a new network interface adapter?

Hello,
I followed this tutorial (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/ovm/ovmel5pvmdb11gr1/ovmel5pvmdb11gr1.htm) to set up a paravirtualized Oracle Enterprise Linux Version 5 VM on Oracle VM Server. It works fine, however I wish to add another network interface adapter (or NIC) to it, however when I try to import into Oracle VM Manager I get the following error:
"OVM-5004 Invalid virtual machine config file. -"
I don't know where the vm config file is so I can't fix that (I did a search for vm.cfg but couldn't find it). I figured since I could access the machine OK I wouldn't worry about importing it into VM Manager, so my question is, is there a way to set up the Network Interface Adapter through the command line on the VM Server (similar to how it was setup)? Or should I try and fix the "invalid virtual machine config file" error so I can import it into VM Manager and then add the extra Network Interface Adapter?
Thanks in advance,
Michael.

The vm.cfg file would be found in /OVS/running_pool/<vm_name>/ -- the default vm.cfg that ships with the template should successfully import into Oracle VM Manager. Once you have the image imported, you can use Oracle VM Manager to add an additional NIC to the VM.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.

How many airport express can I add to my network for the purpose of using the airport express to send audio signal to different rooms in the house? I'm interested I'm running about six different zones.
What I'm looking to do is to have self powered in ceiling speakers in every room in my house with out having to run wires to every room to carry the audio signal. I would like to use the airport express to do the job of carting the audio signal.
Here's my set up now I have an airport extreme and one airport express that I use to carry audio to one room.

FWIW. I have used up to four AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for streaming sucessfully in pretty much the way you have described. I didn't have a need to try more so I can't attest that more would or would not work.

How to add the Social Network share buttons (that work!) to share INDIVIDUAL post from the same page

How to add the Social Network share buttons like Facebook and Twitter (that work!) to share INDIVIDUAL post on the same web address in Dreamweaver? I have searched on google and youtube tutorials, but most of them are "Blogger" and "Wordpress" users.. The only Dreamweaver tutorial is the one that share THE WHOLE page (not individual post on a page). There is Facebook Integration on Dreamweaver (29 Dollar download from Adobe) but so far no review about it so I don't want to spend money for something I don't know. There is also Sharrre but they say there is a bug. It seems like everyone out there use these buttons but I start to get crazy since it seems easy but it's actually complicated to get the html or js script to paste on! Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Cool,
Here is my test site. I have made at least 3 articles (Fashion, Sport, and Art) with thumbnail images on it.
http://andiratih.free.fr/
On each article I add the share buttons from "AddThis".
However, if I want to ONLY share the "Sport article" on Facebook by clicking share-->Facebook, then the feed is scrambling my images on other articles too and it eventually just share the whole page instead of one particular article.
It is now fine since I only build 3 articles, but as you see when the page is getting long with at least 20 articles it will not be ok.
I don't want to make individual page for each article either, since they are just short article each, and I intend to use this page as a welcome page to update the latest activity every half year.
I have seen many bloggers or pages where even if they have many article on ONE page, they are able to share one particular article to Facebook, and when we click (via Facebook) it will redirect us to exactly that particular article even if the article is on the bottom of the page, and not just bring me to the top of the page only and have to search by myself by scrolling to the bottom of the page to see the article.
Infact, Bloggers and Wordpress seems to have the tool for that so that we can just click and add. I am not a Blogger or Wordpress users but I saw youtube tutorials on that.
I have heard about Dreamweaver behavior, and does this will help to achieve what I want (sorry I'm a beginner)? I also heard about meta tags but I don't know how and where to get them to paste to my html source code.
I have found several sites where the person show how to do this, but when I tried it didn't work, and in fact some other discussions about this are never solved.
Thanks for your input.

How do I add a guest network to existing airport extreme configuration?

I have an existing Airport Extreme configuation in my home Wifi network and I want to add a guest access point. When I open the recently updated airport utilities, the screen no longer looks the way it used to, with the side bar on the left and my devices listed there for me to select (I also have an Airport Express). I used to be able to select the Airport Extreme from the left side bar, then hit continue to change any settings. Well now, since it updated, the screen looks different, with internet at the top, pointing to the Airport Extreme, then the Airport Express. When I select the Airport Extreme, it no longer gives me the option to change the settings for it, which is where my problem lies! Any help? I know it's probably something very simple that I am missing, but I'm at a loss.

Why would I download a lower version of AirPort Utility?
To gain more functionality.....since AirPort Utility 6.0 is otherwise known as "AirPort Utility Lite" on the forums. It's a "first try" for Apple with a new look. While it does look nice, it has been downgraded as far as the features are concerned.
For example, if you open AirPort Utility 5.6 and click on the AirPort Extreme on the left, your Generation version will be displayed on the right side of the page. There are many more advanced settings available in AirPort Utility 5.6 as well...that are not available on 6.0.
But, you don't have to install AirPort Utility 5.6 if you don't want to. I suggested it because it offers more features and will also look exactly the same as the AirPort Utility that you have used previously.
If your AirPort Extreme is in Bridge Mode, this indicates that you have another device...probably a modem/router....which is acting as the main router on your network. Bridge Mode is the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme in this case.
If you can post back with the make and model number of your "modem", we can check to confirm.
Unfortunately, the Guest Network cannot be enabled unless you configure the AirPort Extreme to be the "main" router on your network, which is likely not possible. If you try to configure the AirPort Exteme otherwise, you will receive error messages and the network will not function correctly.

Add Cell Phone Network Extender to Apple Network

I am currently running a Time Capsule which gets its internet feed from a cable modem (Cablevision). I am trying to add a mobile phone network extender (Verizon micro cell) which requires an internet connection (via Ethernet cable) to create a cell phone call, since I have no towers in my area.
The Verizon micro cell requires a VPN output from the router; the TC does not support VPN. So the Verizon micro cell does not get an internet connection if I connect it to the TC via one of its ethernet ports. It does connect to the internet if I connect it directly to the cable modem.
APPLE: WHY DOESN'T THE TIME CAPSULE SUPPORT VPN?!? Honestly, enough is enough, I like the plug and play part of Apple equipment, but maybe, just maybe some people need semi-pro utility out of your equipment. End of Rant.
I could buy another cable modem from Cablevision and simply plug the Verison micro cell into that, but it costs $45 per month, so that's out of the question.
I would like to understand whether the solution I've been given from a very helpful Cablevision tech guy will work and how to execute it with minimum disruption to my network (currently the TC feeds an Airport Express elsewhere in the house as a network extender, so I really do mean minimal disruption, please). In essence, it involves cascading the Linksys to the TC.
I am told to connect the cable modem to a router (I have two unused Linksys routers, one wireless and one without WiFi; my preference is to use the non WiFi router so I don't have two wireless signals), and then connect via the Linksys ethernet ports to the Verizon micro cell and the other to the TC. Apparently this is possible if the TC gets a WAN connection, as opposed to a LAN connection, from the Linksys. The micro cell works fine already, so I guess it just doesn't care.
According to Apple, the input that I'm already using, from the cable modem to the TC, is a 1 GB ethernet WAN port for connecting a cable modem. When I cascade the Linksys to the TC, the TC doesn't see an internet connection, though, and it makes sense that there are conflicting IP addresses causing the problem. The port out of the Linksys works fine as if I switch the wiring, the micro cell gets an internet connection no matter what.
Question 1: How do I configure the Linksys so that its output is something the TC can handle? Will the configuration screw up the signal that's going to the micro cell which is already OK?
Question 2: Or what do I do in AirPort Utility to set up the TC to see the signal correctly (ie as a WAN signal) from the Linksys?
Question 3: Is there anything else I need to know?
Despite the "Go Dog, Go" style of writing above, I know my way around configuring Linksys routers, so your reply can be quite technical. Thanks in advance.

Well, not much telling unless you ask the carrier that you are trying to use. If it will not work with the SIM you are trying to use, there could be any number of reasons with a phone that has not been purchased through an authorized reseller. I'm afraid no one would really be able to answer your question without a lot more information.

Cannot add a Canon Network printer to iMac (Intel) OS 10.8.3

I have never been able to connect this mac to the networked printer(Canon ImageRunner Advanced C5045). The printer is detected as a printer nearby connecting through bonjour, but it won't print with the updated drivers, it wont print with generic drivers. I've added it by IP address, by advanced settings with IP address, When I use the canon drivers, it gives me a driver error -50. When I use the generic drivers it says its connecting and says it sent the prints, but nothing comes out of the printer. I'm kind of at a loss. Any suggestions? Please?

been sitting here non stop for two days trying to make it work.
Under Adding it by default:
Ive used the canon driver UFR II (both US and UK) 2.43 which is supposed to work with 10.8. This leads to an error "Cannot communicate with the printer, or the printer is not supported. If the printer is supported, check the printer connection and add it again, then start Printer Utility to get the printer information." Ive used the generic PostScript printer driver and the generic PCL printer driver. These say they have printed - but nothing comes out of the printer.
Under adding it by IP
Ive used IPP with canon drivers/generic drivers (canon drivers error -50 - generic drivers say they have printed but nothing comes out) Ive used Jet Direct with canon/generic drivers (no results) Ive used LPD with canon/generic drivers (no results)
Under adding it by windows
I've found what I believe to be the printer, but it asks me to log into the printer with a user name and password - I dont have either and didnt need any such thing to set it up on the windows machine right next to it.
Under adding it by advanced
under canon CUPS BDL - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct IP - got error -50
under canon CUPS Uni-direct USB - got error 50 and Printer is not responding.Check the printer power and connection, and then try sending printing job again.
under canon UFR - got error 50
under IPP - got couldnt connect would you like to continue - yes - says printed - no results
under IPP (http) got error -50
under IPP (https) - got error 50
under IPP (ipps) got error 50
under Jet direct - got no results
under LPD/LPR - got no results
under windows with spoolss - got log into printer with user name and password - followed by error -50

The airport only finds other networks than the home network I have used before. Doesn' help to try to manually add/find this network, it simply doesn't come up. All other networks in the neighborhood are found though. Doesn't help to reboot either

The airport only finds other networks. Not the home network which I have used before.
It doesn't help to search for new networks, try to manually search or add the network. Doesn't
help to turn off/on the airport or even the mac. Doesn't help to reboot the home network - which is
found and connected on the iPhone and iPad. (and network speed is good enough for many devices).
The network just doesn't come up on the list of available networks.
No chance to update software, since got no internet.

I did some googling and found alot of topics from you on this issue, to me it simply seems like on of the connectors is broken or loose.

Can I add a wifi network that is out of range - ipad 3 latest ios

We bought an iPad for a relative for Christmas. We expect that it will be used lightly, mostly emails and games, as the user is not very "technically minded".
The iPad links up fine to our wifi but before she returns home I wanted to set up her iPad so that it will connect automatically to her own wifi when she gets home. I wasnt expecting to actually connect to it of course as it's miles away, but I was hoping to get the details into the iPad so that when she is in range it will link up.
I have the details/password etc of her wifi network but when i enter the details I cannot store them on the iPad. It says"Could not find the network xxxxxxxx". There is no option to store the details. You have to 'dismiss' out of them.
Does anyone know a way that I can add an out of range wifi network?
I suspect I am wanting the impossible! Any help is very welcome. Thank you.

Add New Virtual Network Interface to RRAS

In the past (W2k3), adding an interface to the OS would also cause that interface to be added to RRAS. I have a server running RRAS and it has multiple VMs running in Hyper-V. I want to add an isolated VM that has a single port available from the Internet to that VM. I have added an Internal Virtual Network and configured it with a static IP (in the host OS) (same configuration (except IP address) as my other virtual network interfaces). The new interface does not show up in RRAS even after restart. In W2k3, you could add an interface in the Network Interfaces area. In W2k8, the only interface you can add is a demand-dial interface.
In the past, I had to delete the RRAS server and reinstall it to see the new interface. This is ugly as it removes, for an extended time, all of the mappings, filters, etc. that I have in place.
Any ideas on how to manually add a new interface to RRAS either by registry, powershell, script, etc.?Pete

I found a new way around this which should work for everyone, a twist on the existing registry solution:
Open RegEdit.exe.
Go to "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces" where each of your network adapters (physical or virtual) has a GUID named sub-key. Identify which one is your network adapter (look at the IP or DHCP settings in the child key=values
or configure a temporary address so you can find it). Now you have discovered the GUID. Click the GUID key then hit F2 to goto rename mode and highlight the whole key, hit CTRL+C to copy to the clipboard.
Go to "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess\Interfaces". Add a new sub-key which is the next in sequence, for example I had 1...6 so I added "7". This is key add the following...
A DWORD32 (32bit integer) called "Enabled" set to 1.
A REG_SZ (string) called "InterfaceName" then paste your interface GUID, e.g. set to "{XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}".
A DWORD32 called "Stamp" set to 0.
A DWORD32 called "Type" set to 3 (LAN).
Restart RRAS, the interface will appear!
Right click each protocol, e.g. IPv4, IPv6 then you can right click "General" to add a "New Interface..." and your interface will then be enabled for that protocol.
I'm happy I played around a bit more to find that now. But MS even though we have a solution which does not require us to lose our configuration, please fix the source of this problem!

Very Slow to Add Songs from Network Drive

My library has reached 12,800 tracks. Because my hard drive is just about full I'm now storing music on a network drive, which is accessed wirelessly (at 54Mbps). Once the music is added to the library iTunes plays it quite happily without any lag. BIG problem though is the time it takes to add songs from this hard drive to the library - it can anything from 20 seconds to a minute PER SONG! And that's after I had to roll back to iTunes version 6 since the gapless playback determination loop took even longer once the songs were in there.
Is this normal? Can anything be done? What's it actually doing when adding a song to the library that could cause it to take so long? Even if it has to read the whole file into memory it should still be quicker than this.
NB. I've tried adding using a mapped drive (H:\...), machine name (\\qnap\music\...) and IP address (\\192.168.1.34\music\...) and it makes no difference.

Need to add hidden WiFi Networks manually from code in Windows Phone8

Hi Guys,
Dear tech team experts can you please help me over this?
I am working on a automation part in Windows Phone 8 applications. I want to verify my WiFi settings through an automated script. What I actually supposed to do was , I have to add a hidden WiFi network through code C# and enter the credentials
and then have to verify the connected network. Is there any provisions available in Windows Phone 8 to do such a task. In Android we have implemented the same scenario as I explained above. Want to know whether I can achieve my scenario in windows phone also.
Regards,
Ganesan S

Hi Mawy - WP8 does not have any APIs that allow the app to connect to WiFi, whether visible or hidden. These operations are reserved specifically for the OS and the user must interact with the phone.

Trying to add LC580 to network

Hi all,
I have an airport extreme network consisting of: an iMac G4 connected through ethernet to an airport extreme base station, an airport express unit "extending" that wireless network, and a Mac mini as a wireless client. I am trying to add a "new" computer to the network, my LC 580; it's plugged into the airport express base unit via ethernet (the LC has a 10 Mb ethernet card).
On the LC, I have two hard drives and one has OS 7.6.1, and the other OS 8. I seem to have gotten the closest to connecting with OS 7.6.1, so i'll start there. In the "Network" control panel, I have it set to use "Ether Talk, slot 1". When I go to the Chooser and select AppleShare, my Mini shows up in the "Available servers" list, but when I try to connect to it, I get this error message "This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFT protocol. You cannot connect to it".
In OS 8, when I even try to select Ethernet under the AppleTalk control panel, it gives me an error message about the ethernet card, so I'm guessing 8 can't work with the card.
Any suggestions, or can this even be done?
Thanks!

PETITION TO ADD BIG TEN NETWORK SPILLOVER CHANNELS TO FIOS

I don't actually know if anyone looks at these boards from Verizon but it is worth a try.
If you would like to Verizon to add the BIG TEN NETWORK SPILLOVER CHANNELS please leave a message here. Big Ten fans recognize that it is important to have all the Big Ten Football games available in all Big Ten states, for fans of different Big Ten teams live all over Big Ten Country. Second, when Verizon provides a channel to its customers it should provide all programming available from that channel and not just a portion. Further, it undermines the purpose of having the Big Ten Network if Verizon is unwilling to broadcast Big Ten games in teams' home states. For example broadcasting the Penn State game in ALL of PA, instead of broadcasting the Ohio State game in all networks.
Please add the BTN spillover channels to the FIOS network.

I agree and sign your petition, but unfortunately this forum is probably not the right place since it is a peer-to-peer forum and not a company forum.
You could try posting HERE
The link above is to a forum that is answered by Verizon although they typically deal with technical problems not programming issues.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

Unable to add to existing network

I am trying to "add to an existing network", however, it keeps reverting back to creating a NEW network when I click 'next'. HELP?
Also ... under PPPoE ... is the account name and password what I require to access my ISP?
THANK YOU!

You only use PPPoE if you intend to bridge out your iibob. Do you use the voip? If not that will work fine. You need to bridge bob.. or get a cheap modem that is easy to bridge. We usually suggest the tp-link low end models.. 8817 about $25 or the 8960n which is just below $50.. prices will vary according to AUS$ dive.
Sorry I went to bed early last night.. but i have answered your earlier thread.
You put the TC in bridge mode.. and plug it by ethernet into the bob.. do not join or extend or anything to the wireless of the bob.. indeed turn off bob's pathetic attempt and wireless and just use the TC wireless.. so you will create a wireless.
I cannot give you an email or contact here.. but my email is on the website which I can give you..
