Airport + Wired Network - Can't see Wired Network with new Ethernet Switch.

I have an Airport Exteme Wireless network work in my home with a base station and one base station as a WDS. I had an old Linksys wired router that I used as an etherent hub for my wired computers. It died the other day.
Since I figured I already have a router with Airport, I went out and bought a NetGear 5 port gigabit switch to hook the wired part of my network back up. Since I have done this, I can see all the computers on the wireless Macs, but cannot see the network at all on the wired Macs.
My configuration is:
Cable modem -- > Airport (WAN) --> Netgear wired etheret switch (LAN).
I'm checking the "distribute IP addresses" from the airport. All the compters can access the internet, but my wired Macs can't communicate on the network. I'm darned but I can't seem to figure this out.
For all you networking gurus out there, what am I doing wrong? I could have bought another wired router, but it seems I shouldn't have to since my Airport should be able to perform the router function to all computers but hooking it to the ethernet switch.
Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Scotty D
Sorry, I posted this on the AirPort Express discussions by mistake. Apologies, but it belongs here.

You are able to ping the printer from the wireless computer but not from wired computer.
Open router setup page. Go to wireless tab and click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab.
Make sure that AP Isolation is disabled on your router.
Also check the firewall settings on your wired computer. If there is any firewall or Anti virus installed on your wired computer then disable it and try to ping the printer IP address.

  • Windows network - can't see "real" network drives

    Hi all-
    I'm hooked up to a Windows network and until my last (standard) password change, things worked ok.
    Now, although I can see the network drives, and attempt to connect, I get an error message saying that
    "The alias "Server20" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
    If I attempt "Fix Alias...", the network drive is grayed out.
    Does anyone know how to address this?
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I just had this problem. I tried to turn of the firewall of my XP computer which solved the problem. But since I do not want my firewall to be off I tried to search the settings of the firewall, and the I found that I had limited the access to shares to one other XP computer on my network. This is smart to to because it narrows down the security risk of having shares while you are connected to the network. So I simply added the new mac to the list of IP adresses that could access the shares on the XP computer. Which solved it.
    The setting can be found in your local area network setting->Advanced->Settings->Exceptions->File and Printer sharing->Edit

  • TS3999 Can't see Calendar entries with new upgrade...

    With the recent upgrade of iCloud Calendar, I can't see many of the daily entries when I look at the "Month" view.  In the old version I could.  I'm not sure if it's the font size or color that's the problem.   It's a pain to have to click on the "..." (which is the only thing I am now able to see) every time I want to know what we have coming up.  My monthly calendar is VITAL to me and helps me keep all of our schedules in line. With 2 working parents and 4 very active kids, I need my fully monthly calendar view back, PLEASE!!!  Any suggestions to fix this?  HELP!!!

    Anytime you introduce new networking hardware, it is important to perform a complete power recycle of your of your networking equipment.
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, new router, AirPort base stations, and computer(s).
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the new router; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base stations; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • Can't see a network (Netgear router) I know exists

    I've in the process of relocating and am in temporary accomodation without broadband, but have been lucky enough to get to know my neighbour who is running a wireless network next door on a Netgear router (not sure which model) and has offerred to let me connect via that.
    However, now that I'm home and trying to do so I can't see the network. I'd guess that the router is only about 50 feet away through a couple of walls, so I wouldn't have thought that would be a problem. There is also supposed to be another wireless network running in the building, but I can not see that one either.
    Before I moved I used a Netgear DG834G wireless router myself with my Airport Extreme-enabled Pwerbook, and I can't remember having trouble seeing the netwrok when setting that up (though it was a couple of years ago so memory may be fuzzy).
    Does anyone know how I can scan for non-Airport Base Station networks?
    Or do I just need to go back to my neighbour and get the IP Address to configure manually?

    If your neighbor's wireless router isn't visible to your Mac, getting and IP address and configuring manually won't get you connected. Two things I suggest you do:
    1. verify with your neighbor that his router is not configured with "SSID broadcast disabled", thus rendering his router invisible
    2. see if your Powerbook gets a signal when located in your neighbor's apartment. Fifty feet and a couple of wall could indeed be beyond usable range.

  • IPhone Can not see home network

    Ok, I have read a lot of strings about Wii issues and I have tried the following:
    - Unplugged (rebooted) my cable modem
    - Unplugged (rebooted) my Airport Extreme
    - Rebooted my iPhone multiple times
    - Turned on and off the Airplane Mode to re-search for WiFi connections.
    - Searched manually for the connection (typing in name and password)
    - Turned off the WAP/WAP2 Personal security
    but nothing seems to work. I can not view my home network on my WiFi.
    I can see all my neighbors networks and the phone works great on free networks around town but my home network will not show up.
    My home network does work on my laptop though.
    Any thoughts?

    Nathan:
    Great suggestion. I changed it to 802.11 n (with b/c compatability) and I can now see the network on my iphone and I can log in (I think).
    I chose the network from the list and put in the password. The first couple of times it did not take but the 3rd or 4th time it seemed to log on. If I go to Settings and look in the Wi-Fi area it has my network name as the network it is logged into but...
    There is no WiFi symbol on the top bar of the phone (only an E, for the Edge network) and when I chose any application (Safari, YouTube, etc.) it only accesses through the Edge network.
    Any other thoughts?

  • Can't see Mac network with JFileChooser

    Greetings
    I am using a standard JFileChooser to select files and directories in my application running on MacOSX Snow Leopard. My problem is that I can't see my network using JFileChooser. I can see all the other Macs on my network using Finder or a standard Mac file browser but not on JFileChooser. I suspect I am missing something really simple but at the moment I am at a loss.
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Hi,
    I also have the same problem.
    My belkin wirelss router is set to channel 13, therefore my macbook cannot see this network when it search's, for the above reasons.
    However unlike the situation above I am unable to change from channel 13 as we have discovered in the past that this is the only channel that is not in use by other networks around our area. The rest gave us interferance troubles.
    I have a number of windows laptops in the house and there is a setting that you can change so the laptop will search for channel 13. I was wondering if anyone is aware of a setting on the macbook that will make the airport card search for 1 - 13 not just channels 1 - 10 as it is now.
    I thought I would add this question to this topic as it is very similar. I hope I was correct in doing so.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Can't see wifi network

    Today I got a wimax modem with built in wifi (greenpacket DX230). There is no customization of the device at all. The SSID and password are already printed on the device and are supposed to work without setup. However, I cannot see the network from my macbook running snow leopard, even if I am right beside the device. I have checked several PCs and they can all see the network, and my iPods can also see the network. I have yet to try another mac (will try tomorrow).
    Does anyone know why this would be? I thought wifi was a standard and that there is no deviation from it? Why would my ipods be able to see the network but not the macbook? Kismac doesn't even show the network

    It might help to reset the connection settings on your Mac using these steps one at a time until the problem is resolved, recognizing that, depending on your problem, not all of these steps will make sense:
    1) Use the AirPort menu bar item to turn AirPort off, then on again.
    2) Try to select your Wi-Fi network from the AirPort menu.
    3) In the Network panel of System Preferences delete the AirPort item from the left column, then add it back.
    4) In the same panel as (3), define a new location and see if you can make that work.
    5) In the same panel, select the AirPort connection item, click the "Advanced" button, select the "TCP/IP" tab, then click "Renew DHCP Lease".
    6) In the folder /Library/Preferences ( not <yourhomefolder>/Library/Preferences), move the folder SystemConfiguration onto the Desktop, then restart your computer. See if you can now make your AirPort connection work.
    They may not help, but they'll only take a couple of minutes to try. Before you try these, if you have any special network settings on your Mac for things like DSL credentials, note all your network settings, because the latter steps will destroy them. If you got all the way to the last step, if things don't work any worse than before, you can trash the saved SystemConfiguration folder.

  • Can´t see my Networks adapters in the Device manager!

    Help!
    I´m using Yoga 2 pro/windows 8.1
    I can´t see the Networks adapter in the Device manager?!
    (and no internet/WIFI connection is not working any more)
    I´ve tried to install the latest Wireless Driver from lenovos homepage but it there is still problems. The laptop still can´t find any network adapter and the wifi connection doesn´t work, as it did last week!
    Any one who has the same exeperience/or knew how to deal with these kind of issues?
    /Rasmus

    hi Rasmus,
    Can you try these steps:
    1. Check if you have a Network Controller entry in the Device Manager and follow this guide to get the hardware ID and on how identify the device.
    2. If there's no Network Controller entry in the Device Manager, then it's possible that the Wi-Fi card might have been disabled.
    Things to try:
     - Boot into the BIOS either by pressing Fn+F2 on boot-up, the OneKey Recovery button, or via the UEFI Firmare Settings. 
     - In the BIOS, navigate to the Configuration tab and disable the Wireless setting  hit Fn+F10 to Save and Exit then shut off the machine. 
     - Boot back into the BIOS and enable the Wireless setting then hit Fn+F10 to Save and Exit and observe if you can now detect wireless networks.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Installed OSx Lion. Can't see my network user on launch

    Hello,
    installed OSx Lion a few hours ago but on OSx launch I can't see my network user anymore.
    Network user was appearing properly on Leopard.
    Please help as I can't get access to our company network anymore.
    Thanks!

    I figured out the answer. unfortunately, the Belkin router I have does not support a HDD formatted in Mac OS. I guess I have to decide whether to stay with FAT32 for my netweork drive or get a new router...

  • E4200 Can't see my network shares after upgrade

    I can't see my network shares after upgrade altough everything works fine , the network scanner shows all the atatched devices but in Eplorer when I click Network there is nothing shown on two computers running Win7 64.
    I did downgraded the firmware back to .01 but still no network .
    Any help ?

    After upgrading the firmware did you reset the E4200? After successful firmware upgrade you need to reset the router. It is recommended to reset the router once. Steps to reset the router:
     Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on. Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
    After reset, reconfigure the router and then check the connectivity status…

  • IPhone 4S - iOS 6 - can't see WiFi networks

    I have a strange problem with my iPhone. It's a locked iPhone, bought from Vodafone from my country. I use it locked and un-jailbreaked. I went in France for 2 weeks where i had my Roaming active, but i didn't used cellular data, only WiFi. Now, back home in my country, it seems that i can't see wireless networks. I tried to reinstall, update to the last firmware, it seems that wireless appear for 1 second when at first start, then it disappears and i can't see no more WiFi networks in list, tho there are like 10 networks around me.
    Any ideas? Or someone else had the same issue?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    i went to Vodafone. They said they will replace it. It seems like a manufacturing defect.

  • I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac.  The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

    I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac.  The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine.  Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
    The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection.  Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties).  The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8.  When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
    Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!

  • How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?

    How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?
    So far if I set it as above then shared does not show up? I have to set the firewall to set access to specific applications and services to get access to my windows based hard drive.
    Cheers

    Ok I solved it myself. Not an ideal solution as I have to connect it manually each time but it will do... Unless anyone has a way to have it auto connect when I start the mac.
