Airport Snow Network and Ethernet at the same time?

Here's the setup. I've got a new Intel MacMini (10.4.6), G4 Sawtooth (10.3.9), iBook G3 and a Dell all using wireless on the Airport Snow router. I'm in the process of moving files over from the Sawtooth to the Mini. The Sawtooth and the Mini are within 2 feet of each other.
Would I get better file transfer speed with a Ethernet crossover cable between them rather than the wireless network? Can I use the hard wire connection and the wireless connection via the router at the same time?
Thanks in advance.

Yes
Can I use the hard wire connection and the wireless connection via the router at the same time?
The Mac will use one OR the other if they are both connected.

  • IP over Firewire and ethernet at the same time?

    Is it possible to use both IP over Firewire and ethernet at the same time?
    I want to use my TB hard drive attached to one Mac via Firewire 800 to backup another Mac also attached to the same drive via Firewire 800. I can only mount the drive on one machine at a time so I need to share it out to the other Mac. It works great if I set it up to do strait IP over Firewire, with static IPs, but that means I can't connect to the internet because my ethernet connection on both machines becomes the secondary connection method. Similarly, if ethernet is primary then I can't connect via Firewire. Is there a way to set it up so the Macs will know which method to use depending on the IP address?
    I am using 10.5.1 on both machines.
    G5, 1.8 GHz, 15.GB RAM
    MBP, 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM
    Thanks!

    Certainly.
    In the network control panel I set Built-in FireWire to the top of the service order list, followed by Built-in Ethernet.
    Next, I set Built-in FireWire to Configure Manually with the address 192.168.1.xxx and the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.xxx, making sure the Subnet Mask is set the same on both machines and that the IP address is different on both machines and different from the Built-in Ethernet addresses.
    I applied the settings, turned on Sharing on both machines, then mounted whatever shared drives I needed by connecting to the other machine using the FireWire IP address.
    Now I am able to share drives using FireWire 800 - which works great when used with Time Machine - and still use my normal ethernet to surf, etc..

  • Airport extreme wired AND wireless at the same time?

    Very sorry for this newbie question. Can i have my iMac wired to my computer with ethernet and wireless at the same time?
    If so, what ports to i plug what into?
    My guess is modem-wan port on extreme and a cable going wired from the ethernet port on the extreme to the iMac?
    Do i need to do any configuring?
    Thanks!

    The operatibe word here is EXPRESS
    To the best of my knowledge the ethernet port on the express is for ethernet IN not out
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AirPortExpressSetupGuide.pdf The pertinent diagrams are like page 20 - 25
    Now you can actually do what you are talking about with an extreme.. an extreme can, in theorey operate as an remote/relay taking incoming signal giving you one - four out bound ethernet ports
    that info can be found in the manual on setting up a WDS
    the only thing to remember is .. the weakest leg controls.. if your wireless signal to the relay is poor. any thing using the relay for access will also be poor
    I have found out the hard way about that

  • How to use airport express wired and wireless at the same time

    Hi,
    I currently have FiOS with Verizon, they ran a coax cable to the Verizon router. I didn't ask them to switch to CAT6 cable since I have an airport extreme base station and an airport express base station (both are the newest generation). I ran a CAT6 cable from the Verizon FiOS router to my AEBS (extreme) to make it the default wireless router. The Verizon router and extreme are in one room. Now, the Airport express is in my living. I'd like to extend the wireless network from the extreme. However, I can't seem to find a way to use both wired and wireless from the airport express at the same time. It's now either via wired, or wiresless. So is there a way to get both work?

    Can you tell us if you used Apple's instructions for a "roaming" network?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
    Although the instructions picture a 2nd AirPort Extreme in the illustrations, the setup instructions would be exactly the same for an AirPort Express.

  • Airport Express - using range extender and Ethernet at the same time?

    So, I am thinking of buying an Airport Express. I am would be using it to extend the range (wirelessly) of my current Wi-Fi and also use the Ethernet ports on the back to connect my DVD player (so I can use the Internet-enabled apps on it). My question is whether the Airport Express can extend the range of my Wi-Fi as well as provide an internet connection to my DVD player simultaesnously.
    My current setup in my house is:
    - A wireless modem from my ISP (www.telenet.be)
    - A Cisco range extender - however, this one often drops the connection so the Airport Express would be a replacement for this.
    The current Cisco range extender is plugged in near my TV and it picks up the wireless connection from my ISP modem and extends it as well as being connected to the DVD player. However, I am tired of losing the connection so I thinking of buying an Airport Express.
    I have no other Apple network devices (Airport Extreme, Airport Time Capsule, etc.)
    Can you help me out?

    No, Apple products will only wirelessly extend the signal from other Apple products.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple AirPort routers if you want to extend the signal wirelessly.

  • Do I need 2 airport expresses to run a network and airtunes at the same time?

    Meaning, if I set up the network in my office with the airport express, I need another one plugged into the stereo for air tunes right?  unless I want to unplug it and move it back and forth right?

    If the stereo and the Internet modem are not in the same room, then "yes," you will need another AirPort Express in order to do both simultaneously.

  • Time Capsule: WI-FI and Ethernet at the same time

    Hi everybody,
    I've connected my mac book (Lion) to a 2T time capsule via wifi and it works fine. The TC is connected via wifi to an existing network (and internet connection).
    Unfortunately, using this configuration, ethernet connection between the macbook and the TC (to speed up file copying) doesn't work: it just keeps connecting via wifi.
    I've also tried to switch of the wifi connection on the macbook to "force" the use of the ethernet cable but it doesn't work.
    Is there any way to use the wifi connection but, when needed, just connect the macbook via ethernet without changing the TC configuration?
    Thanks in advance
    M

    When you configure the TC to "join a wireless network" as you have likely done, it performs no routing functions in this type of setup.....and the Ethernet ports are not enabled.
    In effect, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive when it "joins" a wireless network.
    You would need to consider whether you want to reconfigure your TC in a a diffferent way......(connecting it to your main wireless router using a wired Ethernet cable)......if you want to have Ethernet capability on the TC.

  • Airtunes AND ethernet at the same time?

    Aloha All,
    I think I have a simple question.
    Providing I use the WDS option, which requires either a AEBS or a WRT54G router, can I simulatenously run airtunes AND use the ethernet port (not wireless) on my AX?
    I would like to use my AX to supply my non-wireless PC tower with internet, while continuing to use the same AX for airtunes, without buying another AX. I currently do not have either an AEBS or a WRT54G, but am willing to buy one of those...
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    ccolgrove

    Yes that is possible.

  • Using Airport and Ethernet at the same time

    I know that variations of this question have been posted already, but I think my problem is slightly different.
    In our studio we have a printer connected to our Macs via a wired Ethernet LAN. We access the internet via Airport using a seperate Mac (not on the LAN) which is set up as a Software Base Station. We would like to be able to print directly from the internet without having to switch between networks. I've tried rearranging the order of the networks in the Network Port Configuration window in System Prefs but each time we try to print we get the message that Apple Talk is disabled (which it's definitely not), and that's as far as we get.
    Any suggestions as to how we might solve this would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Jason.

    The solution is to use a dedicated wireless access point instead of the using the Mac as a software base station. The Mac acting as a base station is placing the wireless clients on a separate subnet.

  • Ports on a New Air can it handle VGA and Ethernet at the same time

    Hi,
    I am looking at buying an Air 13".  When I configure it in the store it shows me the option to buy both a Miniport VGA adapter and a Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapter but looking at the Images on the site I cannot see a Miniport for the VGA.  I need to have both to work effectively, Can someone confirm.
    Thanks
    Gordon

    The MacBook Air has only got one Thunderbolt port, so as you want to connect two peripherals that require a Thunderbolt port, you need a Thunderbolt hub.
    You can find hubs in the Internet, like the Belkin Thunderbolt Express Dock > http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F4U055 As you can see, they are very expensive

  • Keeping a Officejet Pro 8600 connected wireless and by ethernet at the same time

    I have one computer connected to this printer by ethernet, because the computer is to far away to be connected by usb. Whenever I want to print off of a laptop or tablet the printer won't print unless I physically disconnect the ethernet cable. When someone wants to print from the ethernet connected printer, they have to go back and reconnect the cable. Is there a way to fix this? Because quite honestly its a PAIN. I have had other printers from other manufactures that I was able to do this with. I find it hard to believe that HP would have such a backwards and utterly inconvenient setup.

    Welcome to the HP Community @zhadum5000 !
    I read through your post and wanted to respond to you. The printer cannot connect to both wireless and ethernet at the same time. You can connect wireless and USB however, you cannot combine both network connections. Your best bet would be to either stick with only ethernet, or only wireless.
    I hope this helps answer your question!
    Have a great day!

  • Why can't Apple TV's and iOS devices see home sharing on my Windows 7 computer when iTunes libraries on other computers on the same network and connected to the same Home Sharing can?

    I have never previously had any problems with Home Sharing, I have always found it to be completely reliable as advertised. I have 2 computers in the house, (one MacBook and one Windows Desktop) connected to the same Home Sharing account, connected to the same BT Home Hub 4. My situation is that I have nearly 2TB of data of which I would like to share with the home wirelessly, in my mind the desktop is the logical place for this to be shared from.
    When running, iTunes on this desktop broadcasts to other iTunes libraries, but no other iOS devices or Apple TV's connected to the same Home Sharing account cannot see it.
    I have tried turning Home Sharing off, and then turning it back on, closing iTunes, restarting the computer, going to Network and Sharing Centre and unticking IPv6 in the network adapter properties, even completely wiping the computer and reinstalling Windows 7.
    One of the Apple TV's in the house was recently purchased by my parents with the promise from me that everything would work seamlessly... so far it isn't and I am frustrated that the Apple technology that I have come to rely on isn't working as expected.
    One thing that has occurred to me upon writing this is that it is a very large amount of data, and I have not attempted to share this with another computer that is currently working and broadcasting it's Home Share fine.
    I am sorry if I have ommitted any important details, any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would be so grateful of any suggestions, my parents are depending on me.

    I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem.  The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6.  (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
    So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
    You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
    Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

  • Thinkpad 8 - Power and Wired Ethernet at the same time?

    Hi.  I am looking for a way to have Power and Wired Ethernet at the same time?
    I have been looking at USB 3.0 micro cables with a dual USB ports - one for power and one for ethernet (via USB adapter) - but I can't get that to work.
    Has anyone tried this?  Or found a solution to this?
    Thanks!

    OK great info!
    I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
    By "Plugable":  USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
    2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
    Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance.  BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
    One person commented: 
    This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
    Thanks for any additional comments.

  • Can i do this? (wired and wireless at the same time?)

    Hi all
    My first time on these boards, Iam hopefully setting up a wireless network at home very soon. At the moment I have a cable modem that is 'hard wired' directly into my G5 imac that has no wireless cards installed. simple (so far)
    Now... Iam getting a laptop very soon and wish to go wireless roaming the house etc so i will purchase an airport extreme at the same time.. is it possible to have my laptop on wireless and the G5 'hard wired' from the airport station providing 2 connections at the same time one wireless, one hard wired?
    If not, what kit do i need to make this happen? apart from a wireless card for the G5 which id rather not do as id like that connection 100% stable and as fast as the 10mb will go..
    Any help and advice would be appreciated.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The default settings of the AEBS works with most cable modems without any configuration changes needed.
    The AEBS is a NAT router, meaning that it will be "seen" by your ISP as a single device. In turn, the AEBS will distribute private IP addresses, on the local network, to all of the computers connected to it (wired or wirelessly) because it has a built-in DHCP server. So in this case, each of your computers would be assigned an unique IP address.
