Add second desktop to network

Newbie, so please forgive my ignorance.  I'm using a Linksys wrt54G router and have set up my primary desktop with the router, and have successfully added to laptops to the network.  I have another desktop that I would like to add.  How do I do this?  Obviously it doens't have the ability to look for a wireless connection.  I'm sure this is stupid, but any help would be appreciated.

You can do it one of 2 ways:
run an ethernet line from your desktop to one of the ports in the router
or
buy a wireless adaptor card for your desktop and go wireless

  • How do I Add second monitor to ALL in One ENVY23 that has a HDMI port

    How do I Add second monitor to my ALL in One ENVY23 that has a HDMI port the computer has Win 8  Model #: 23se-d494
    Product #: F3D93AA#ABA
    Serial #: [edited Serial Number by Moderator]
    Software Build #: 14AM1HRA601#SABA#DABA

    Here are the specs for your HP ENVY TouchSmart 23se-d494 All-in-One Desktop Computer. Based the specs, the HDMI port on the side of your computer is an INPUT only. This model doesn't have a video output of any kind.
    1 - Controls           2 - HDMI In port (model dependent)
    You will need to purchase and use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 (or any of the many other adapters on the market) to connect an external display to your computer. I personally use and recommend the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Time Capsule cannot add to an existing network

    Hi
    How fustrating...my Time Capsule was working completely until it stopped backing up for no known reason. I have tried to reset the Time Capsule and add to an existing network but an unexpected error keeps occuring. I also tried a hard reset but this does not even work as my previous settings are still shown when it I plug it in again.
    I have a wireless network setup from my Internet provider modem and I would like to use my time capsule as a backup only where I can place it into a seperate room to provide me with reassurance if something were to happen.
    I have also connected Ethernet cable from TC LAN to iMac...again not even sure if my connections are correct.
    Can something suggest something I should be doing...the TC setup guide is not very helpful.

    You can install 5.6 utility on any OS up to Mavericks no problems.. you have to do it manually.
    How to load 5.6 into later Lion & ML
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

  • I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers.  How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad?  Can I use AirPort Express?

    I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers.  How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad?  Can I use AirPort Express?

    Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
    In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

  • HT1731 "AirPort Express: How to join an existing Wi-Fi network in client mode" = 'Add to an existing network' will not result in pure client mode

    Choosing that option will always end-up in extending my wireless network.
    What I want to achieve is to just add my AE to the existing WIFI network and to use it for local access like AirPlay or Printing.
    No other client e.g. iPhone, iPad etc. should be able to connect to that AE wireless.
    So it seems that there's one step missing in that description.
    As a last step you need to manually change the set-up so that Network Mode shows 'connect to wireless network'.
    Afterwards your AE will be finally in 'Cient Mode'.
    I_am_Andy

    Thanks you!  Apple's documentation is either contradictory or incomplete.  To configure a factory default AE to "join" a network with
    Airport Utility 6, you must first select "Add to an existing network".  That results in the AE extending a network.  Then later, edit the configuration (wireless tab) to specify "join" rather than "extend".
    You can "join" a network which has already been extended; this improves the wireless reach, since you can not extend a network which has already been extended.  So you can have:
    Apple Extreme  <---->  Apple Express (extending)  <------>  Apple Express (joining)  <-----> ethernet-device

  • Case: When trying t work in a second desktop, a program cannot be used if open in the first desktop. The screen just moves back to the first deskt

    When I try to work in a second desktop, a program cannot be used if already open in the first desktop. The screen just moves back to the first desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

    Whether or not this behavior occurs depends upon various preference settings and upon how you try to access the application in question.  Personally, I like to organize my desktops according to project, so I regularly have windows from the same application spread out over several desktops. No problem.
    For example, I have a Safari window in Desktop 1 and I want a Safari window in desktop 2. If, while in desktop 2, I bring Safari to the front by clicking on the Dock icon, I can open a new window in the usual ways. I could also just control-click on the Safari icon in the dock to get a new window in desktop 2. 
    (The only application that is a little weird in this regard is Finder. You have to do the control-click on it or it will always switch to a space with a window open.)
    To make all this occur, I have Safari assigned to no desktops (control-click on Safari icon, then on Options) and in Mission Control preferences (in System Preferences) I have "When switching to an application..." UNchecked.
    (Note that, with these settings, if an application is already in front and you click on its icon - or click twice on the icon if the applcation is not in front - the OS will assume you are looking for another open window and will switch spaces to give you one.)
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't add AX to TC network

    I used 2005 AX as a base station. After buying TC I wanted to extend my TC Apple network with the AX. When I tried to add AX to the network and configure it, AirPort Utility wanted me first to switch from TC Apple network to AX Apple network.
    I just want to have one TC network. How can I just add AX to this network without network switching? I did reset AX to factory setting.
    Milan

    one option would be to disconnect a computer from the network and use an ethernet cable directly to the APX. use the airport utility to configure the APX in this manner.
    another option would be to allow it to switch networks, and see if you can tweak the settings at that point.

  • Add new known wireless network via Client Management - Possible?

    Is it possible to add a known wireless network via Client Management and if the answer is yes, how can you do it?
    Other ways to add a known wireless network to a bunch of clients?
    Thanks a lot!
    Best wishes

    Hello again,
    I've tried something else.
    1. Adding the network to our image master (via System Preferences)
    2. Copying:
    /Library/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    /Library/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
    /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
    from our master to every client which shall be able to use the new network.
    That seems to work because the network is shown up in System Preferences -> Network -> Options -> Airport -> Preferred networks.
    Unfortunately this solution has unpleasant side effects. For example the computer name is changed back to the computer name of the master, because the computer name is stored in the preferences.plist file, too.
    Any ideas to get the same conclusion without those side effects?
    Thanks a lot!
    Best wishes

  • Add second account to lifelog, Google Fit integration.

    It is possible to add second account to Livelog?Or maybe synchronize data between Sony mobile account and Google account. Reason: I am very interested in new google Fit application and I think that it can work with data from google account but not with data from Sony account. I already switched from Sony account to google but I lost older data stored in sony account.

    I am also very interested in integration with Google Fit. Reason: Both Fit and Lifelog try to quantify my total calories spent. Fit misses out on lots of walking/running, because I don't always carry the phone on me. Lifelog misses out on other activities, e.g. strength training, which I add manually in Fit. Also, Lifelog does not have accurate weight registration nor weight history. I would love to use only Lifelog, but for now, it does not offer everything that Fit does. Waiting for updates!
