Anyone set-up a wireless computer-to-nintendo ds network?

My kid is sick and is hanging out with me at work. I have my MacBook Pto plugged into the ethernet and I'm trying to set-up an Airport network with my son's nintendo ds so he can play on-line with it. I've manually set everything up according to the nintendo support site, but am still getting an error code (52101) from the ds. According to the nintendo ds support site, this should be related to the broadcast rate. Is there anyway to adjust this on my mac? I'm pretty sure the ds is "b" compatable and not higher.
TIA

Yeah, you can internet share your Mac and Wii/DS. You will need to have the airport express card in your Mac. It should have one if its new, if your not sure check your system profiler. Go under airport, you should have airport card there.
You will also need an ethernet cord. This is rather lengthy and copied from another post, so yeah.
First you need to go to the system prefrences panel. Click the sharing folder icon.
Under sharing, go to the internet tab. Go to the drop down menu and click "built-in ethernet".
Below that there are check boxes, click "airport". Then click ariport options.
Put in a name, a short one is ideal, and then a password if you want. (only numbers) Click ok.
Now go to the firewall tab. If your brave enough, you can just turn off the firewall. Or...
Click "new". The port name is "other", make the description something short like, "my wii".
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
Under the "TCP Port Number(s)" field type (with the commas): 28910, 29900, 29901, 29920, 80, 443
Leave the UDP blank. Click ok.
Make sure that box is checked, go back to internet and click "start".
Your airport icon on top of the screen should be showing an upward arrow.
NOW...for the Wii setup. Fun isn't it?
Go to your wii setup, then internet tab. Click an empty network or erase one. Now click manual.
Enter the name of your network, what you labled earlier. If you forgot, click the airport icon, it should show you what signal is being sent out.
Now click the arrow and enter your WEP key. The 10 digit numerical password you made. (unless you didn't)
Click the arrow again and where it says auto-obtain IP settings, click no. Enter these; (there will be a lot more zero's auto added when you click ok. leave them)
IP: 10.0.2.11
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Router: 10.0.2.1
Manual DNS settings:
Go to the next screen and again NO auto-obtain DNS.
Primary DNS: 10.0.2.1
Seconday: 10.0.2.11
Leave all the other windows, click save. It should connect.
To stop you Mac from sending the signal, click the airport icon, then internet sharing. You can now click "stop". You airport will go back to normal use. To re-connect to the wii, just go back to the internet sharing and click start. It'll keep all the previous settings.
Good luck and good night.
(As a bonus, do the same wii setup for the DS to work, if you have one)

Setting up a second computer to our wireless printer, may I use a different network

I want to set up a second computer on the wireless printer but do not want to use my personal network, but would like to use the guest network. May I do this? And how

Simple answer, no, you cannot do this. Two reasons:
1. The guest network will not, in any way, talk to your personal network.
2. Most guest networks insist on isolating clients from each other on the guest network (unless you know otherwise).

Setting up a wireless network with windows XP PC

I may be getting a mac computer later this year & would like to know how to set up a wireless network between the mac & a windows XP PC. The PC has a DSL modem attached to it with a yellow line going from modem to PC & another Grey line going from the modem to the back of a phone in our kitchen. Our house is fairly big, it is one story but the rooms are sprawled out with a lot of clutter. I would like to have reliable internet access on my mac, & if it is a macbook pro I would like to be able to get to the internet throughout the house. The most important thing is stable reliable internet access as I am taking online classes. I would probably take the macbook pro into a bedroom or other adjacent room. The bedroom is further away, through 2 or 3 walls. The Adjacent rooms is one wall way.
I know this seems very basic, but I need a lot of help with this as I have never used a mac before (have been a windows user) & have never used more than just the one PC in the house, let alone a wireless network.
my mother along with I are both taking online classes, so sometimes there is competition for the the 1 computer & with my graphic design degree a mac has been recommended to me. So we are finding it would be easier to have more than one computer in the house so we can access our classes anytime.
So anyone, can this be done without breaking the bank?

I'm guessing that Modem was provided by your Internet Service Provider ?
They are the best people to talk to about upgrading that Modem to a Wireless one.
Usually if you're running a modem and phone from the same DSL line there's a small splitter box that plugs into the phone socket and then one wire connects your modem and another your phone. Picture below - if you do have one of these then post back and we can give better advice on a wireless modem to replace your current one.

Problems Setting up my wireless network with an Xb...

Hi, I have had some problems setting up my wireless networking.
I have everything switched on and am able to go online with the laptop and the Xbox with no problems but when I try to share media with the xbox I have problems.
I have opened the ports specified in the setup from xbox on windows firewall and have no problem connection Via Ethernet cable but when using wireless the xbox cannot detect the laptop.
I have checked the network map and both xbox and laptop are connected and have enabled sharing and am running sharing software.
Below is the network map.
I have also been having problems with BT software, the free virus protection will not install, The desktop help will not launch although it shows up on task manager and the installation disk does not launch correctly it doesn't get past the loading screen.
I have had a printer on the wireless network and had no problems printing.
If anyone knows how to resolve this please help.

I have this same Motorola modem and I just verified that my 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can get Internet access with this modem without any issues.
When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, 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.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), 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.

How do I set up a wireless network at home??

Hi,
I am new to Mac's. I want to set up a wireless network at home, but I have not got a clue about AirPort, what it is or what it does!?! I am getting a new Mac, but my wife is currently using a Dell Windows laptop and our daughter is using a Windows PC. How do I set up a wireless broadband network at home which works with my Mac and my familys PC's? What do I need to buy and what do I need to do with them? I already have a broadband connection at home. Currently, my wife's PC is connected directly to the broadband modem (via an ethernet cable) that was supplied by the brodband company when I signed up to broadband.
Thanks for all your help with this.

scooter has provided links to Apple's pages for the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
Both of these devices are IEEE 802.11g wireless routers (also called base stations). If you have an Ethernet connection to the Internet (for example DSL or cable modem), you can connect either of these devices directly to that connection and create a wireless network. Since Ethernet and IEEE 802.11g are worldwide standards you can connect any compatible device (including PCs running Windows).
Every computer needs a unique IP address. You can think of an IP address as a street address for your house. A unique address guarantees that items addressed to you get to you.
Typically ISPs provide users with a single (one) public IP address. A public IP address is visible to anyone on the Internet. A router uses the single IP address provided by the ISP and creates multiple local (non-public) IP addresses for you computers. This allows you to use multiple computers.
If you need to connect both wireless and Ethernet computers you will need the AEBS. The AEBS provides a separate LAN port for Ethernet computers.
BTW, you can accomplish the same thing with any inexpensive wireless router.
The advantage of the AEBS over other routers is (a) built-in 56k modem for connecting to a dial-up ISP and (b) USB port for a single compatible printer.
The advantage of the AirPort Express over other routers is (a) sound output port for streaming music to a stereo and (b) USB port for a single compatible printer.

Setting up a wireless printer for iPad

I am trying to purchase a printer to print documents/email/ect. from my ipad using an app. I DO NOT own a computer at home, so I would need to set up the wireless printer on my network without needing a computer to do so. Is anyone aware of any printers that will allow this?
If not, are there any other ways to allow for printing form the iPad without using a computer as well (for example, a adapter or special cord)?
Any info will be appreciated!

You can simply print from your ipad wirelessly without any kind of cables or Internet connections.
All you need is a simple router like “Tenda W150M Portable Wireless AP/Router (Microcenter: $34.99)” is a small device that can be powered right off of most printers USB ports. Then obviously connect any Wi-Fi ready printer and IPad to this “Tenda” router. No Internet service needed, you are using this for network connectivity purposes only. You now can be anywhere for ex: like in a car and be able to print from your IPad or iphone wirelessly, without any other needed connections.

Frustrated trying to set up a wireless network with Bellsouth Fastaccess's Westell Wirespeed modem.

Today, about 6 hours ago in fact, I came home with a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. It took me a while to get a grasp on how to connect it. I had no network port on the back of my PC, as far as I knew, and I had been connecting my Westell Wirespeed modem to my PC via USB for years. In the end I ended up spending an hour digging up the old Ethernet cable that came with the modem, and finally managed to do everything the Router setup program asked of me.
One hour after restarting multiple times, experimenting with different orders of plugging in things, and countless resettings of the Router AND the modem, it finally set up the network. It ran for an hour.
One of my cats ran behind my computer, jarring one of the cords and causing the PC to turn off. It happens twice or thrice a year when they get rowdy. When I jiggle all the plugs back into place and turn on my computer, the connection was dead! Gone! And there was nothing in my Program Files that said "Start Linksys Network" or anything convenient like that. I suppose that would be too easy, right? And my internet didn't work either! So with no other choice, I opened up the installation program again - there was no trace of any sort of folder or application on my PC linked to the router. In fact, as far as I can see, I still have no way to get into ANY sort of router-related application aside from the install CD.
So I stuck that back in there.
I've spent the last three hours grueling over this thing. I connect it all before turning the PC on. Nothing. I disconnect everything and plug it all back in meticulously step by step according to the program. Nothing. The install program always gets through the PC checking, and lets me fill in the PPOE (or whatever) information. As it tries to update the router configuration, though, it tells me one of two things.
1 ) If I have just done a reset of the router, it gets to 99% in the router configuration progress bar before telling me the 'router configuration failed'.
2 ) If I exit the setup program and reopen it, I get a generic "So and so has caused an error in 4746545x48345675 (or some other random number)," and asks me to either Cancel or Debug.
My hands are sore and I'm stressed to the limits. I bought a laptop a week ago for the sole purpose of alleviating the battles my kids have over the only source of internet in the house, but it's just been sitting there. I'm really at the end of my wits. Between the errors that don't tell you what went wrong and the perfectly-connected router that keeps pretending it's not connected, I'm just about ready to return the laptop.

This happened to me when I was setting up the wireless router for a friend. The issue is with the Westall modem. You need to go in and setup the "bridge" option on the westell modem. The link below gives directions or you can call bellsouth dsl support (this is how I learned about it).
http://help.bellsouth.net/bellsouth/asp/contentview.asp?isbrowse=true&sprt_cid=3f993409%2Ddff7%2D422...
Good luck
Solution:
Method 1 - Hard Reset
Restore the modem to default settings by pressing the Reset button on the back of the modem and holding it for 3 seconds. (Bridged mode is the default setting for the Westell).
After the modem regains sync, it is in Bridged mode. Do not attempt to surf into the modem as surfing into the modem will enable the Easy Login page and convert the modem from bridged mode to a PPP mode.
Method 2 – Bridged Mode
Access the Westell interface using http://192.168.1.254 or http://launchmodem.
Click on the Broadband DSL Line button.
Click on the Protocols button
Select the radio button to the left of Option 2 (Bridge)
Click the save button. Once the modem has restarted it is in bridge mode.

How to set up standalone wireless print server

I need step-by-step instructions on to set up a KonicaMinolta bizhub multifunction printer to print wirelessly from various Macs. In other words, it would not be hooked up to the internet or my wireless network. I understand this can be done with an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme. I tried it with a Linksys WPSM54G wireless print server without success. I'd like to try the AirPort Express, but so far haven't been able to get it to work.
How do I configure my AExp to operate as a print server? How should I have it connected when I do the configuration?
How do I find the print server's IP address?
When I plug in the AExp and connect it to the printer via USB, the AExp flashes amber and never turns green (and therefore never connects with the MacBook).
If I successfully set up the print server as a separate network, can I be connected to the printer and my wireless network at the same time? Or do I need to switch back and forth?
If I'm accessing the internet via Ethernet, can I simultaneously access the printer via AirPort?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How do I configure my AExp to operate as a print server?
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) or AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) can only operate as a "print" server if the printer is attached to its USB port. Ethernet printers would require their own print server service if connected by Ethernet to either router.
How should I have it connected when I do the configuration?
Neither router would need a WAN port connection as both can provide a stand-alone wireless network. For a USB printer, it would need to be connected to the respective router's USB port.
How do I find the print server's IP address?
This would be the AirPort's LAN IP address. The default is: 10.0.1.1
When I plug in the AExp and connect it to the printer via USB, the AExp flashes amber and never turns green (and therefore never connects with the MacBook).
The flashing amber indicates that the AX has configuration issue. If you temporarily connect your MacBook directly to the AX's Ethernet port, and then, run the AirPort Utility, you can find out what the issue(s) is(are).
If I successfully set up the print server as a separate network, can I be connected to the printer and my wireless network at the same time? Or do I need to switch back and forth?
No, you would have to switch wireless networks. One way around this, is to have the AX configured to "Join a wireless network." This mode was specifically designed to allow the AX to perform as a wireless client and simultaneously provide both print sharing and iTunes streaming to network clients.
If I'm accessing the internet via Ethernet, can I simultaneously access the printer via AirPort?
Potentially, but your computer and the printer will be on separate broadcast domains/subnets.

Where can I learn more about setting up shared wireless for a small apartment complex?

I have a solid understanding of setting up wireless networking from the theoretical standpoint (protocols, technology, security, etc.) and from the standpoint of a simple home or classroom/lab installation, but have zero experience on what equipment and overall design might be required for a larger installation -- specifically, setting up secured wireless to be accessed by the residents in a 26 unit complex.
Does anyone know of any primers/guidelines that I can read that will help me understand the basics of what would be required for this type of installation? Or if you can create a basic checklist for me as a starting point, that would be great as well - thanks!

Setting up a wireless network in my home

We recently switched our IP service from sbc to Comcast. I am in the process of trying to set a wireless network with all of our computers.
This is the equipment I have: The old modem used from sbc, the new modem from Comcast and a Linksys wireless adapter (not router) the small one with one antenna.
It is impossible for me to figure out how we were set up previously because it was all tied into a separate phone line that my husband used for work, that phone line has been disconnected and since then we have lost all abilities to use all but one computer. The sbc modem was hooked up to the 2nd phone line and my husbands laptop. We also have to desktop computers and 3 laptop computers in the home as well.
Neither of the desktops has built in wireless capabilities, but the lap tops do.
The main desktop computer is connected to the Comcast modem via an ethernet cord. The 2nd desktop computer was set up wirelessly with the linksys adapter. Somehow this was all linked together with the sbc modem (had to use the number from the bottom of the modem to access wirelessly for the laptops.
The only computer that works in the home right now is the main one directly connected to the Comcast modem.
I don't know if I am able to set up the wireless network for all of the computers
with just the Comcast modem and the linksys wireless adapter (not a router).
If so can you assist me, if not what do I need to get this done?
Thanks for your help.
Hope it wasn't too confusing for you.
Nina

As Previously you were having DSL as your ISP. Most of the DSL Provider Modem has the DHCP server configure in it, and i believe the Modem which you must be having its might be a Wireless Modem **bleep** Router.
As you have Switched your ISP from DSL to the Cable (Comcast). So in this case to make your all the computers go online wirelessly and wired, you need to get a Wireless Router.

Setting up a Wireless Network for dummies

I have been trying to find a good article online that specifically addresses setting up a wireless network using Airport and Macs. So far, the information has been surprisingly lean.
This is all I want to do ... I have a new Mac Pro tower in my office where my cable modem is hooked up. I would like to connect an Airport Extreme router to the modem so that my other two laptops in the house (an any guests on PCs or Macs) can connect wirelessly. (My Mac Pro does not need to be wireless, as it is a tower that always resides in the office). I also have a printer in my office that I want to be accessible to the laptops as well as my Mac Pro.
Because there are many walls throughout the house, and I don't want any connection weaknesses anywhere, including the back yard patio, I will need to extend the range of the Airport in my office. How do I do that? Via more Airport Base Stations, or Airport Expresses, or both? And if I need to add one or two more Airports, how do they connect to the network? Which cables go to which ports, and where does each originate? Then there's the question of naming these Airport zones. I just want this to be the simplest setup possible ... just one network that reaches throughout the house with WPA security and printer access.
Can anyone enlighten me on these details, or direct me to an article that covers this stuff specifically?
Thank you so much for your time.

First off, the following is a good document that you could use as a reference: Designing AirPort Networks 10.5 + Windows. In particular, you want to review the section on "Setting Up a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)."
Basically, you will want to acquire a 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) as your main base station in the WDS, and either additional AEBSns or AirPort Express Base Stations (AX) for relay/remote base stations ... as your budget permits.
For example, you would connect the AEBSn directly to the cable modem, and then, the AXs would be wirelessly connected to the AEBSn. Since the AEBSn has a built-in Ethernet switch, you can connect your Mac Pro directly to it via an Ethernet cable.
So, your network configuration would look something like the following:
Cable modem > (Ethernet cable) > \[WAN port] AEBSn \[LAN port] > (Ethernet cable) > \[Ethernet port] Mac Pro, AND AEBSn > (wireless) > AX(s)
Then there's the question of naming these Airport zones.
In a WDS all of the base stations would use the same Network Name or SSID.

HP 6300 all in one can't set up for wireless use

can't set up for wireless use

That is because the printer does not support wireless connectivity to a router. You can with an optional Bluetooth adapter to one computer wireless. However since this has an Ethernet connection you can connect it to your router via this or you can use the below information to convert your Ethernet wired printer to wireless.
Connect wireless printer anywhere, convert from wired, bypass failed radio, add WPA2 security.

Setting up a Wireless Internet Connection on Solaris 10

I am new to the whole Solaris/unix world and I was just wondering how to set up a wireless internet connection with a solaris 10 machine. I have a linksys router hooked up to a cable modem and a linksys receiver hooked up via USB on the solaris machine. I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Was the router supplied by the ISP or was it bought separately? Are you able to get online when connecting the Mac directly to the router via an ethernet cable? Either way it's best to check the router settings to ensure they are correct.
I’ve not come across the Zoom routers. Setup should be straight forward though, having gone to their website and downloaded the manual. Do the following:
1. Plug one end of the RJ-11 cable (included in the box) to the router, the other end to your phone line via the micro-filter.
2. Plug one end of the ethernet cable (again included in the box) to the appropriate port in the router, the other end to your Mac.
3. Plug in the power cord and switch on
4. Fire up your web browser on your Mac (Safari, Camino, Firefox etc)
5. In the address bar of the web browser type 10.0.0.2 and hit the Return button
6. A Network Password box will appear. This is to gain access to the router itself. The defaults are, Username = admin, Password = zoomadsl
7. You’ll now enter the Basic Setup screen. It’s here where you enter the username and password supplied by your ISP. This is NOT your email username/password but your Internet access ones. If you are not sure or don't have them, call your ISP.
8. Click Save Changes and then click Write Settings to Flash and Reboot. Once the router has reset itself and the Link light comes on and remains steady, you’re online.
That’s it. Job done
If you still cannot get access it may be worth resetting the router (there should be a small button in the back which requires the use of a pen or pencil to press) re-entering your ISP information as described above and trying again.
Let me know how you get on.

How do I set up for Wireless printing on a Mac

Hi Guys,
I have purchased the HP Laser jet P1102w recently. I took the printer on a location job and used it for the first time. It was quite a soimple process of connecting the printer and MAC automatically downloaded and installed the software.
As we were out of the office, we were not connected to the wireless network and therefore was not able to set up the printer on the netwrok.
Now that we are back in the office I want to set up the printer so that it can be used wirelessly by all the devices connected to the network.
I am unable to work out how to do this on MAC OS X 10.6.8. I removed the printer from the Print & Scan Utility and tried to install it again while connected to the network, however I am still only able to print while connected by USB.
I understand that I can print via the connected device on the network but would rather have it set up to do so wireless all together.
Please can you point me in the direction of finding the instructions to set this up?
All help is most appreciated.
This question was solved.
