Airport connecting with a 3g network

Dear someone,
Is its posible to conect a airport express with a 3g usb dongel? Becouse somtime in some situation you can't get a internet by kabel or adsl 2+ so you need a 3g Network. And I have seen some routers that support this.
So if it is posible what netwerk in Holland can I use??
Kind regards,
Nitin

Since the USB port on the AirPort Express will only support a compatible printer, it would not be possible to use the AirPort Express in the manner that you asked about.

Having intermittent Airport connectivity with a 2010 6 core MacPro. Any help?

Having intermittent Airport connectivity with a 2010 6 core MacPro. When it works has low bars on status graph. Laptop set up next to it has no connect problems. Airport utility has shown no Airports a couple times when the laptop showed all. When first joined network, staus bar is full, then drops to one or two bars. Would this be an antenna or card being loose? Is it user friendly fix, or bring it to Apple? Thanks in advance.

Would this be an antenna or card being loose?
Sounds like it.
Is it user friendly fix, or bring it to Apple?
If under AppleCare, bring it to Apple. If not, you can probably find instructions to fix a loose antenna connector yourself.

Ibook G4 having problem with airport connection when using secure network

Hi,
I am currently using a brand new Macbook. I am connected wirelessly to a Comcast network through my Netgear Wireless-N 150 router model WNR 1000. The problem I am having is with the 4 year old ibook when I go to use the airport and connect to my existing network it says the password is incorrect. I spent time troubleshooting this with Netgear and basically we found out that the ibook does connect with the network when there is no security at all.
I erased the hard drive on this ibook to prepare it for sale and it is back to the factory settings. Is there some kind of firmware or drivers I am missing to use the airport as described?? I want to be able to show the buyer that the internet works etc. I also may want to install a few things on the ibook before the sale.
Thanks a mil

Did you reset the wireless router to see if by default, it has a different
wireless security then, than however it presently is set up?
The question you pose appears to be marked "answered or solved."
When you reinstall an OS X, the setup asks if you have an existing
wireless connection, or if you will be getting a new one; by default,
the setup will make the existing one the automatic one for OS X.
You should not have to add passwords or other, unless there has
been one set in KeyChain or for the specific wireless base in question.
Tiger 10.4.x does not require you to have a set password for wi-fi,
but you will find several levels of secure options available in OS X.
Not sure why your setup and configuration is problematic. Usually,
a totally new OS X installation is without issue. Sometimes, you
may have to administer a base station via Ethernet cable before
some configurations can use it, but an existing network should be
easy, unless it already has a password security in place.
The Mac will work without a password-protected wi-fi internet source;
often it will 'just work' even when moved to a new environment and
a neighbor's network, if not password protected, will appear among
other options in your vicinity and it will be automatically available.
Not sure if any newer OS X update parts, from the Combo update
files to take Tiger 10.4 to 10.4.11, plus others, would help the Mac
connect better to whatever wireless source of internet available.
I've not had that issue, as you state, except for when someone has
a protected network or passwords in place. Mine has passwords to
keep unauthorized neighbors from easy access; just in case.
In remote locations where few neighbors exist who could access wi-fi
from a lone source, no wireless security settings at all, work just fine.
I've done that; and found a little greater range was gained in signals.
And in the city (largest town in state) a computer I'd set up for use in
a password protected wi-fi network - later worked fine and found the
new owner's own wi-fi network without issues; and I had let the OSX
setup assistant do its job. If a local network is protected by WEP or
WPA2, etc with a password, one would be needed to access it. If not,
then the connection should be automatic.
Good luck & happy computing!

Airport Express connection with my wireless network

Hi
I have tried to install my Airport Express, which was okay, but doing so I had to disconnect my wireless network.
What I would like to do is to connect the airport express to the wireless network (Linksys-router). I tried to choose the "Join an existing wireless network" in the admin utility, but now I have lost contact with my airport express base station.
Please help me....
BR Morten
IBM Thinkpad T43 Windows XP Pro

What I would like to do is to connect the airport express to the wireless network (Linksys-router).
What are you trying to do with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX)? Use it for streaming iTunes and/or share a USB printer, or extend your existing Linksys wireless network?

Trying to set up my brand new MacBook Pro and it does not connect with the wifi network I have selected for this purpose. Nothing wrong with the wifi as both my iPad and iPhone are happily connected. Suggestions for connecting to the wifi network accepted

Setting up my brand new MacBook Pro and it will not connect to the wifi network. Nothing wrong with the network which is happily working for my iPhone and iPad! Suggestions accepted for making this connection.

Fixing this is a two step process:
1) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
... check [√] Ask to join new networks
"Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will
be asked before joining a new network."
2) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
Close the window and save changes. If no joy, do a restart to ensure you are playing under the new rules.

Regaining Airport connection with WEP and Siemens Gigaset

After loosing connection with MBP and Macbook and latest security- and Airport updates, reinstalling of IO80211Family.kext vers.1.5.1 helped.
It's included in Airport Extreme Update 2007 001.
Extracted it with Pacifist and copied it the Extensions folder.(as root)
Important!!
Repairing permissions and reboot.
Took me two days to find out.
Maybe it helps for other third party routers too.
Intel MacMini works with all latest updated. (so far)

Can anyone talk me though what to do since I know very little about wireless networking. I am quite prepared to buy a new wireless adaptor for the PC, but don't want to buy something that isn't going to work.
Unfortunately, you didn't provide much information about your PC or the current external wireless adapter to be of much help. WPA was first supported with WinXP w/SP1; which OS is your PC running? Likewise, early versions of wireless adapters only supported WEP. What is the make/model of yours? Does your PC support PC cards, PCI cards (internal), and/or USB devices?

Airport Express with an Ethernet Network

I use a Ethernet connection at my house to connect to a LAN for internet access. i.e. no modem. Is it possible to use Airport Express with this network to create a wireless network?

I have a ethernet connection in my house which I use
to connect to a LAN. I wish to know if I can use this
with Airport Express to create a wireless network.
Yes you can.
I
have only seen documentation with the airport express

An Airport Express can be connected to an ethernet network as a wireless access point.

No Airport connection with Mac Pro

I cannot get access to my (password protected) WLAN modem with my Mac Pro. I have to go via Ethernet through my Powerbook. It only works when I set the modem to require no password for Internet access, once WPA is enabled, the Mac Pro Airport connection fails even though it "sees" the network alright.
What am I to do? Any settings in the DSL modem properties perhaps?
Most grateful for answers!

That sounds like progress!
WEP / WPA and WPA2 all use a numerical (hexadecimal) key.
You give the software a readable phrase - and it turns the phrase into the number. But sometimes the same phrase becomes a different number.
Try this. Turn on WPA.
On your wireless-connected-Powerbook. Go to the network list. Click edit - and click show password.
You'll see the HEX version of the passphrase. $afbc0232...
Try THAT number on the Mac Pro.

Sharing Airport connection with Ethernet - Self Assigned IP

WHy is the ethernet port getting a self assigned IP Address. I want to share the wifi connection with the ethernet to run a cable to my ps3. Need to update trophies so i can wipe it. Wifi doesnt work on PS3 at this time(reason for wiping)

This is a major debacle with Apple. I contacted support and they informed me that they don't support this function.
After many hours of playing around and reading forums this is quite easy (once you know what to do)!
Setup internet sharing (airpor to ethernet)
Go to Network under system preferences
View the Ethernet icon (should be yellow as it self assigns the IP)
Click on TCP/IP and in the Configure IPv4 menu, select "Using DHCP with manual address"
Set the Ethernets IP address to 192.168.2.1
Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0 (255.255.0.0 is default on OSX 10.6)
On the NIC tring to use the shared connection (PS3/XBOX/Network DVD/PC), you should just be able to "Obtain IP and DNS Automatically". If not, enter the following:
IP Address(connecting device): 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1
This has nothing to do with the IP of the airport connection or your router, this is the internal Ethernet port settings on the hardware (as far as I can tell).
My internal Airport IP is 10.0.1.4, with 10.0.1.1 for airport extreme, and the self assigned IP was 169.254.151.92 on my shared Ethernet port on the Mac when it wasn't configured properly.
Let me know if this works!!!

Unreliable AirPort Connection with New C2D MacBook

I know there are quite a few threads about this exact same topic going around right now, but I've followed all the suggestions out there with absolutely no success... So here's my version of this sob story.
I bought my new C2D MacBook last week and thought getting online would be as easy as turning it on and connecting to my existing wireless network, using a D-Link router. I was able to connect immediately with a full AirPort signal, but the performance has been spotty at best. Some web pages load immediately, some load very slowly, some don't load at all. Mail and iChat are never quite sure whether I'm connected or not, and go back and forth between being connected and offline. With other computers on this network I've enjoyed wireless download speeds as fast as 220 kbps, but with certain downloads on this computer I've seen speeds start out at 150 kbps and drop down to a staggering 4 kbps... I might as well go back to dial-up.
Other pertinent information... I've had 3 other Macs hooked up to this wireless network before (2 G4-based laptops and a first generation Intel iMac, all with AirPort Extreme) with absolutely no problems. I've followed all the advice that others have posted about this so far, like updating the firmware on the router, resetting it, resetting my computer, creating a new user, trashing my preferences, all with no effect.
I was reading another thread where they discussed how the brand new MacBooks are shipping with the new 802.11 n cards, which is great for the future... But does that mean my existing wireless network is now obsolete, thanks to my new laptop? Am I out of luck until the new AirPort Base Station starts shipping eventually? Considering the money I just dropped for my new laptop, I'm not exactly keen on spending another $200 just to get my new laptop online. Nowhere in any of my documentation or even in System Profiler is there any mention of this new technology.
I've basically been an Apple customer and advocate my entire life, and I'm very disappointed in my latest purchase. You're supposed to be able to take a Mac out of the box and have it work, which is one of the reasons why I buy from Apple instead of anyone else. Hopefully this will be resolved soon!!

FYI, someone posted a novel suggestion in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3875203
"After a bit of online research I found some Linux folks using 'newer' Atheros wifi cards (like the Macbook C2D) were having the same problems with their driver software. The workaround was to either wait for a patch, or change the beacon interval on one's wifi router.
One cannot do this with the Airport Express, however, I have found that increasing the multicast rate prevented this problem from happening again. In my own mind, I reasoned anything that improves network performance should make things better, and it did. My setup is 802.11g only, WPA2 and a multicast rate of 12 or above seems to do the trick."

No Airport connection with Tiger

I have the iMac listed below, and a new MacBook Pro. I was having trouble with our home network through our modem and router (Speedstream and Dlink respectively) so I switched over to a 2wire modem/router HomePortal. I did the switch over with the Pro, everything worked great, both hardwired and wireless. I then went to put in the WEP password on the iMac and it says that there was an error in joining the specified network. After trying a few things that I knew, I decided to bypass the wireless and use the longest ethernet cord I had...however, even when plugged into the 2wire, my iMac will not act like it is connected. Network Diagnostics says that I am not connected to either the internet or any modem. When I try to get into the 2wire with its address, I come up with nothing.
When I do all the same things with my Pro, everything works fine. A friend told me to switch the encryption back to WPA, or upgrade my iMac to Leopard because he had the same problems and they all went away once switched over to Leopord. But went I checked the 2wire, its only option is to either disable the encryption or use different bit options of WEP. I'd rather not disable the security, but that seems to be one of my last options, bar upgrading to Leopard, or getting a Time Capsule, which I've been thinking about.

The ethernet I would not know of, but I have had this problem before too with the wireless. Infact, 1 of my computers had this problem and one of them worked perfectly fine too. I also have a 2-wire gateway. I use a WPA pass-code.
It would tell me connection timeout and all sorts of other stuff. I restarted the 2-wire device and that worked for me. Then I decided to use time capsule as a second wireless network so if 2 wire didn't work for my computer, I would be able to switch to the time capsule (which would be using double-nat, which is easy to set up), if the network didn't work. If you had time capsule and wanted only 1 wireless network, then go to http://home click on wireless networks and on the right side of the screen should be a wireless disable button.
*This shouldn't be a problem with the iMac* unless you cant connect to any network like your neighbors of something.

Splitting Airport Connection with a PC

HI all, i was wondering if it is possible to share the original Airport connection on my AGP Sawtooth 500 with my ugly beige box sitting next to it...Any help is appreciated...thanks!

Steve,
you are in the right direction. Your partner can install a card on her PC but it is also possible (and sometimes more desirable) to add wireless capability using a USB device (linksys.com has these devices).
Hope this helps.

NAS connection with Exadata on Network Port

Hi,
What I found on exadata and NAS.
Can I connect the database servers to external storage?
Yes, you may use the network ports on the database servers to connect to external storage via NFS or iSCSI. However, the Fibre Channel Over Ethernet (FCoE) protocol is not supported or allowed.
My question is : What would be impact on performance if we connect Exadata with NAS on network port as NFS?
Does any one using ? I want to have all backup on disk and from disk to tape kind of.
Thanks

If you can afford it look at using zfs over infiniband for the best bandwidth if you go for 73xx or 74xx models. You will also get dual controllers for full redundancy.
Oracle's benchmark backup figures of 7 tb an hour are based on this setup If you go for a standard or 10 gig nfs connection you will get considerably slower speeds.
Thanks
