Apple TV to a wired Ethernet network

Hi, I need some one to help. I got a apple TV and I would like to connect directly to broadband service without router. after I connect the ethernet cable, it seems APple TV can not connect to internet, even asking the user name and password.
Is the Apple TV does not support that?

I assume that you mean that you either have no other computers in your house, or that your computer won't be on the internet. Is that right?
If that's the case, I'm not sure as to whether or not AppleTV will let you do it. If it does, it'll simply be a matter of setting up the AppleTV to connect to your internet service provider as would a normal computer. If you don't have a router then you will need to input your authentication details on your AppleTV via PPPoE (unless your modem already stores them).
I would suggest calling up your internet provider, asking what your username and password are, and asking if you should connect using PPPoE. Also ask them if your modem has the login details in it already.
Cheers,

  • Error 36 when connecting to wired ethernet network

    I'm trying to connect my new iMac to my existing wired ethernet network. The network has been functioning for some time with 2 PCs connected to a router which is connected to a cable modem.
    I have added the iMac by connecting it to the router. I am able to get the iMac connected to the internet via this setup. The problem is when I try to connect to one of the PCs from the iMac I get error 36. I have tried all the server addreses I can think of. (smb://ip address of the PC/shared drive letter; smb://computer name/share drive letter). It works on it for a while then kicks out the error message. I have "pinged" the PC and it is connected. File sharing is enabled both on th iMac and the PC.
    Apple support says this is a Windows problem and has left me high and dry even though this is supposed to be seamless.
    Please help.

    While waiting to be connected to a "product specialist" on Apple Tech Support I figured this out. First get the ip address for the PC you want to connect to by going to Start> Run>type cmd <enter>. Then type ipconfig <enter>. note "ip address". On the Mac Go>connect type smb://ip address for the PC click continue and you will get the sign on dialogue for the PC.
    I am now happily copying my 4000 music files.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (UK purchase) will not connect to wired ethernet network

    Hi
    We have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (purchase here in UK approx 9-12 months ago) which has sort of worked OK wirelessly but finance industry compliance requirements now require me to connect to it by normal ethernet cable. 
    When I disable wireless and plug in a (tested and working) ethernet cable it does nothing.  I have done a factory reset (via the screen menu) to remove any previous settings.  Turned off, turned on, still nothing.
    I have restored Network defaults also using the menu command within settings - network; no difference.
    In Network - wired summary the screen says:
    IP: Not applicable
    MAC: xxxxxxxxxxx (not for sharing here)
    Hostname: xxxxxxxxx (not for sharing here)
    Wireless Direct: Off
    I have tried it with IP settings turned to Automatic (DHCP) - no joy.
    I have tried it with IP settings turned to Manual(Static) - when i then type in the static IP address that is within the router range (but outside the DHCP reserved range) as soon as I press Done, the settings are lost i.e. 192.168.0.102 - push 'Done' and the IP goes back to 000.000.000.000
    The same when entering the default gateway and subnet masks.
    I have restored to defaults several times, tried manual and DHCP several times, no joy.
    Please let me have some serious suggestions at the earliest opportunity.  Just to reiterate I have tested the network connection and cables with other ethernet equipment and they are working.  My questions include:
    1.   Anyone know how to make this printer actually store the manually entered IP addresses etc?
    2.  What am I missing about the wired setup?
    3.  Is this a known issue?  Is it an issue with the hardware ethernet socket or something?
    4.  Also in this forum there are references to a Hard Factory reset that is apparently different to the menu 'Reset to Factory Defaults' but links to an article about it just give a 404 error, not found.  [Does HP actually have two different levels of Factory Default and if so, God knows why!  Does anyone know a working link to this information please?

    Hello Qw8, welcome to the forums!
    I read your post about not being able to successfully install your Officejet 8600 Plus to your wired network. I will do my best to find suggestions for you to try. I would first like to know which Operating System you are installing the printer on to help me with my research.
    If you haven't already, run the installation (HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g Drivers) with your security and firewalls disabled to see if the proper connection can be made.
    I do see you ask about other resets and there are others however, at this stage they may not be needed. If they are, I can send you a private message at that time with that information.
    Please let me know your OS and we will go from there!

  • Wired ethernet network disappears after upgrading to Yosemite

    I am a lone iMac on a Windows network, but have connected through ethernet without a problem for years. Since upgrading to Yosemite, however, my network has disappeared. My ethernet is connected, my IP address is the same as before (assigned by DHCP) and I have made no changes to any other settings. The only difference now is that my mapped network drives cannot connect and in Finder, when I click on NETWORK and SERVERS, there is nothing there.
    The company IT guy is a Certified Microsoft dude and he swears nothing has been changed in the network. It must be the upgrade.
    What has Yosemite changed? (The Firewall is off.)

    Found a fix
    When trying to fix a wake failure, I simultanuously fixed the issue with network drives. It is connected to the Preferences.
    Here is how I could solve the problems:
    Press command+shift+c - > Macintosh HD - > Library - > Preferences -> Drag SystemConfiguration on desktop, it's going to make a copy of it (May ask for password, then delete it from the Preferences (which is the initial folder). Shut down, then do a PRAM Reset. If you don't know how to do that :
    After you shut down the computer, locate the option, command, P and R from your keyboard. Press the power button to turn it on and quickly press all four buttons before hearing the first 'power up sound'. Keep them pressend until you hear a second 'power up sound'.

  • Help needed with printer settings for wired ethernet connection

    I'm hoping someone can help me with a network printing issue. I have a large format color laser printer (Tektronix Phaser) and since moving to OS 10.6 I can't figure out how to configure the printer so that the system sees it. I have a simple wired ethernet network with a couple of Macs and a couple of printers. All devices are connected via a switch. When using earlier OSs I was able to connect to the Phaser using Ethertalk. Obviously this is no longer supported and I can't figure out how to set the printer so the OS can see it. I have lots of options which can be turned on or off and in some cases set up in other ways: Ethertalk, IPX, Netware, TCP/IP, DNS, LPR, HTTP and remote internet printing, I've tried messing with these but the result is always the same--system doesn't see the printer. Currently Ethertalk is on, IPX and Netware are off, TCP/IP is on, DNS and LPR are on, as are AppSocket, HTTP, FTP and remote internet printing. I can change the IP address but no matter what address I've tried I cannot ping the printer. (I'm using a Gutenprint driver for this printer.)
    I don't really know enough about all this to get anywhere and I haven't been able to find help anywhere even from tech friends. Xerox won't help me and neither will Apple. Any help would be appreciated. I can supply more detail on specifics where necessary. Thanks, Bob

    Old Phaser models may becoming more and more difficult to use, but you can give this a try.
    1. Configure the printer via front panel to use TCP/IP and enable DHCP if it's supported. If not then you will need to configure an IP address for the printer together with your local network's mask, and gateway IP address. Except for the first the others will be provided by opening Network preferences to see what those settings are. The printer's IP address needs to be set somewhere within the range of IP addresses your router provides locally.
    2. You need the PPD file required for your printer. If you have the Phaser driver installer you can use it to install the PPD or you can extract the specific PPD from the installer package. This part is tricky because I don't know where you may find the driver now if you don't have the installer. The older installers can be accessed through the Finder by selecting the package then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. You can then rummage through the package to search for the PPD for your printer. Then navigate to the /Library/Printers/PPD/Contents/Resources/ folder and drop the PPD file inside.
    3. Open Print & Fax preferences and click on Add [+] to add a new printer. Click on the IP icon in the toolbar. Select Line Printer Daemon - LPD from the Protocol drop down menu. Input the IP address you assigned the printer in the Address field. You can file in the optional fields that follow. Then from the Print Using drop down menu locate the listing for your printer and select it.

  • Can iPhone have a wired ethernet connection?

    There are places where there is a wired ethernet connection available but no wireless available.
    Is there a way to connect an iPhone to a wired ethernet network?
    Thank you.

    Thank everyone for their help.
    As I mentioned before, sometimes clarity is missing.
    I realize that there are no "Apple Networks". What I should have asked was "Will an Airport Extreme when connected to a non-Apple modem/router provide a wireless signal that can be used by my iPhone" - and my MacBook Pro, and my ...
    There are literally hundreds of posts both here and on other Apple Discussion boards that warn/advise against using a Cisco/Linksys/Belkin/Buffalo/whatever product in the network chain (wired or wireless) with Apple products.
    I am not attempting to say whether these concerns/difficulties are valid or due to a lack of experience. I am just asking, and appreciative of the response that "YES" an Airport Extreme connected via a CAT 5 cable to an old Linksys switch will work.
    As someone who has suffered/struggled for years with network problems I understand the pain.
    And for those of you old enough to remember --
    Thankfully I did not ask "Can I connect my Iphone to the Orange Micro SCSI card on my Motorola Starmax 5000"
    Thanks again to all who helped.
    I've ordered an Apple Extreme and will have it surgically implanted in my excessive adipose tissue with a tattoo reminding everyone that before I have an MRI, and take off my watch and my wedding ring, that maybe someone on the medical staff should take a look at their WiFi reception.

  • How to set up printers using wired ethernet without appletalk

    Curse of Snow Leopard. I've spent an hour or more reading posts to no avail. I have a couple of macs on a wired ethernet network and a couple of older printers. Everything was a breeze to set up using Appletalk but now that I have a nice new Mac Pro and OS 10.6 I'm stuck.
    Can someone walk me through this process step by step? Or point me to instructions I can understand? I know the printer IP addresses. I know that for the computers I'm using DHCP which I vaguely know has something to do with the internet. I get that these addresses change and that's bad for sending to a printer. I do not get how to change the printer addresses--they are programmed in to the hardware in both (old--from the '90s). I also don't have a clue what the difference is between IP printer, LPD printer, etc. I can get the system to see the printers and I can set them up but nothing prints. Yes, I could use a print server running an older OS with Appletalk but I'd really like not to have to--power, heat, noisy fans, more boxes and monitors in my workspace.

    Well, I suggest you do some experimenting - try IP > HP Jetdirect protocol instead of LPD (Jetdirect doesn't require a queue name).
    I have seen other queue name possibilities mentioned on the web - PS (means send to the postscript queue), PCL (means send to the PCL queue), and text (means send to an unfiltered text queue).
    text may be a good first try for queue name - to see if anything will work.
    Have you tried pinging that IP address to make sure it is right? Is your computer's IP address in that same subnet 192.168.1.xxx?

  • Airport Extreme - creating a wired local network from a cellular hotspot without ethernet ports?

    Forgive the book I've written below, please. I generally think too much info is better than not enough... I'm looking for assistance and/or suggestions since I have been unable to locate solutions on my own so far. Searching this forum has found a great number of "sort-of" related things, but all of them so far appear to involve apple-only hardware or upstream network devices which have ethernet ports. Nothing that seems to match my situation enough to extrapolate out. Maybe I'm just using the wrong keywords. Anyway....
    I've recently moved to a particularly rural area with no wired internet access to speak of (well, I suppose there is dial-up, but... yeah). I've tried several different wireless varieties including satellite, the AT&T Elevate 4G hotspot and a service that used an EVDO-cellular solution(a sprint-based reseller).  The former had serious latency issues which I had predicted and so was right-out. The last had signal coverage problems which their maps did not accurately reveal. Their potential mitigation was to have me invest even more money into a super-mega antenna to be roof-mounted. And even that was an uncertain fix. The AT&T solution with the 4G hotspot has been AMAZING so far and I love it. Coverage is great, latency and bandwidth fantastic.
    I love it but for one exception, that is. Connectivity options.
    There is a particularly limited number of WiFi connections available and only a USB network adapter for a single computer. None of my wired-only network devices can connect directly and I have significantly more WiFi connected devices in general use than the device supports.
    I have an Airport Extreme that I was using as my primary connection point through a FiOS router at my previous home(and both the satellite and EVDO modems at the new place). Never had any problems with it when feeding its WAN port with one of the various routers' LAN ports. However, as has been evident by reading all sorts of posts here and elsewhere, having it connect via WiFi to the Elevate means that the ethernet ports are disabled. Not terribly useful.
    The Elevate has no ethernet ports. Only WiFi and USB network connectivity.
    The Elevate does not appear to have settings available to create a WDS network-- so it cannot be "Extended" via those methods, either, as far as I am able to tell.
    So these are some thoughts I've had. Before I invest the time and money into them(both of which are in extremely short supply lately), I'd like to know if anyone else has already solved the issue or can tell me definitively whether these ideas, or some I haven't thought of, will or won't work. Any helpful feedback or thoughts would be sincerely appreciated.
    Options I've considered, but are uncertain:
    -A Wifi/Ethernet or even ethernet-only router which has a USB WAN uplink(I've had a few bites on searching, but nobody seems 100% clear on the capability for the models I've located). I could plug the Elevate into that USB port and then from there I'm golden. If this is the best option, then can someone recommend a brand/model that they know will work in this way?
    -WiFi Access Point (Airport Express, maybe?) that will connect to the elevate via WiFi, and then use its single Ethernet port to serve as the APExtreme's WAN uplink. (I don't know if this will work at all, actually...)
    -Connect to the computer via USB, run some kind of network bridging software (which I don't know what the heck that would be) to bridge between the USB Network and the Ethernet port, then run a hard wire from there to the APExtreme's standard ethernet WAN uplink. This is going to be a "last resort" option since it involves software I'm unfamiliar with, even unsure of availability for Mac, and requires the computer to be running and configured properly at all times. Given the way my kids abuse a computer, I can't be certain of anything involving this option.
    -Some secret method of turning on WDS capabilities in the Elevate which would then allow my existing base station to become a second node in the chain. I really wish someone could tell me this is possible if only I'd push the right buttons. I see this is as the absolute best option, if it can be done. Cheapest, anyway.
    Current set-up:
    AT&T Elevate 4G hotspot
    WiFi connected devices(rotating since Wifi connection count is limited): Mac PC, 2 iPads, 3 iPhones, Apple TV, a Nokia mini-tablet, a Kindle fire, Wii, XBox 360, an old dell laptop issued by my office.
    Apple Aiport Extreme base station
    Wired connections: blueray player, television, satellite TV pay-per-view uplinky device thing.
    Please, tell me your thoughts?

    Had the same issue here.  Here is the best solution I have found so far:
    Hotspot + Pepwave Max On-The-Go (w/ Load Balancing) + Airport Extreme
    I have a VZW MiFi, but I believe this set-up will work with other hotspot devices.  I actually have 2 MiFi Hotspots with a monthly allowance of 20G each.  They are plugged directly into the Pepwave router (aka, tethered).  (Note:  you have to have the right cable to do this.  The one that came with my Hotspot was only for charging.)  If, for some reason, you cannot tether with your Hotspot device, you want a router that offers WiFi as WAN.  The Pepwave will do this.  The Pepwave is connected to my Airport Extreme via ethernet cable.  I have the WiFi on the MiFis and the Pepwave turned off.  So the only visible network is my Airport Extreme.  The Pepwave is essentially just functioning as a modem.
    I used to have a Cradlepoint, but I did not find it very user friendly--too complex for home use.  The Pepwave Max OTG is awesome.  I got the one with Load Balancing so it allows you to connect up to 4 cellular devices.  If you only need the one Hotspot, you can just get the cheaper Pepwave Max OTG.  The Pepwave allows me to run off one of the MiFis until I hit my 20G/month allowance, then it automatically switches to the other one.  That way I never max-out on my monthly data allowance.  Additionally, it gives you a real-time, hourly, daily and monthly running tally on data usage.
    The guys at the 3Gstore are excellent and can help you figure out the best solution for your situation.

  • Network dropped on wired ethernet

    The other day I was browsing along the internet, when suddenly, Shiira notifies me that I'm no longer connected to the internet. Sure enough, my iChat connection was dropped as well. Since then, I haven't been able to connect with wired ethernet.
    The cable's fine- it's plugged into the PC I'm using right now. And since I can connect fine from here, I assume my cable modem is fine as well. I'm not using any sort of router.
    I tried fiddling around with my network settings, though my knowledge in that area is extremely vague. I pretty much just did what the "Assist me!" button said. That didn't work. I always dread it when my computer tells me to contact the ISP to find out what's the matter.

    Typically there's not a lot of setup needed to get a Built in Ethernet connection working.
    Do you know if it's a cable or DSL connection? If DSL, do you know what the username and password might be?
    One thing you could do to check is to Click on the apple in the top left corner and click on "About this Mac". Click on "More Info" and there should be an entry down the left side of the system profiler window for "Network". There's either an entry below that for "Built in Ethernet" or it'll list it when you click on "Network" itself. Basically, I'm looking to make sure the harware is still recognized, as it's strange a hardwired connection would just drop off.
    Once we know that the hardware is still working I'd do the following.
    1: Unplug the ethernet cable from your computer
    2: Trash the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration folder and restart your computer
    3: Upon restarting your computer, click on the apple and go to "System Preferences"
    4: Click on the "Network" item
    5: Change the "Show" selection box to say "Network Port Configurations"
    6: Drag Built in Ethernet to the top of the port list
    7: If you have a DSL internet connection that is a PPPoE connection type, then change the "Show" selection box to "Built in Ethernet"
    8: Go into the PPPoE tab, check the "connect using PPPoE" selection box and enter the appropriate information
    9: click on "apple now" in the bottom left corner
    10: Plug in your ethernet cable and restart the computer
    If you are not connected after restarting we've narrowed out the possibility of it being hardware related and also ruled out the fact that there could have been any corruption in the SystemConfiguration folder. If you're still not connected, change the "Show" box in Network preferences to "Built in Ethernet" and go into the TCP/IP tab to see if you have an IP address...if so, what is it?
    Sorry for the long post, but internet connection issues are always fun.
    You can always just reset your modem after going through that whole ordeal with the network preferences.
    I dunno, let us know if you get anywhere.

  • "there is a problem with your apple tv ethernet networking" but I am connecting wirelessly

    So basically I can happily see all my movies etc on my TV via Apple TV but they appear to play but with no image. Sound is OK! Then the ATV decides something is wrong, reboots and says "there is a problem with your apple tv ethernet networking" but I am trying to connect over wifi.
    I have original ATV
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel

    You may have some software corruption or the unit may well be starting to fail.
    Hold menu and down arrow for 6 secs to reboot the unit to the diagnostics/service menu from where you can reinstall the original shipping software (some have had issues updating beyond version 1.0 if that's what's on it) but first I'd try to run the diagnostics utility though it often passes this even if there are issues.
    Always worth unpowering the AppleTV and letting it rest for a few minutes before restarting - this can sometimes reset thing that a powered reboot won't.

  • Poor network performance on wired ethernet port and airport

    I'm using Leopard 10.5.1 on a home network comprised of a new, fully up-to-date (firmware wise) D-link wireless router and a couple ethernet hubs. I initially had problems because of old router firmware, but buying the new router and making sure firmware was up-to-date seems to have solved the connection problems. What I now experience is that whichever network cennection I am using, wireless or wired ethernet port, will slow down so slow that it's impossible to get any web content, upload files to my local server, or sent emails with any kind of attachment. Turning off the connection I am using, either wired ethernet or airport, and switching to the other solves the problem for a short time, usually a couple days or so. Then that connection with slow down and I have to switch back - again solving the problem. So to keep my network connection alive, I have to keep switching back and forth between the wired ethernet and the airport connection.
    The rest of my network consists of several Windows machines including a Windows 2000 server. None of these devices ever have any problems with network access.
    I've tried playing with the advanced settings with no luck. Does anyone know of a specific setting that might be the culprit?

  • Can i use airplay if my apple tv is connected to the network by ethernet cable?

    Can I use Airplay  if my Apple tv is connected to the network using an Ethernet cable as apposed to a WiFi connection.

    Thanks. I therefore have a problem as I cannot connect my ipad to the Apple TV. When trying to connect via Airplay my other apple tv appears (that is connected only via WiFi and that connects OK) but the Apple tv connected via the Ethernet does not show. I have looked at all the settings on both apple TV's and the only difference I can see is one is connected via WiFi and the other through Ethernet cable. Any ideas on what I need to check out?

  • Why Does My Apple Time Capsule , not share ethernet when connected to my current network?

    Hello
    Thank You for taking the time to look at this , my apple time capsule will not share ethernet when joined to my current network , the only way i can get the ethernet ports working is connecting a ethernet port from my airport express to my time capsule and that enables the ethernet ports (which is fine)
    So I'm Wondering Why This Works
    My Current Set up is
    Netgear Router Downstairs (Main Router)
    Apple Airport Express upstairs (set to join existing network)
    Belkin 8 Port Network Switch ( Ethernet cable from express to switch) (3 other devices connected to switch as well)
    Time Capsule upstairs (cable running from switch to time capsules wan port)
    Hey Presto
    So I'm wondering why i have to go around the houses to allow these 3 ethernet ports on the time capsule to work

    Because Apple decided it should be so.. and it was!
    The Airport Express can join a wireless network (non-apple) and still keep the ethernet port alive.
    When Airport Extreme or TC join a non-apple wireless network, they shut off the ethernet ports.
    It was a decree from on high.. there is some technical stuff about MAC addresses hidden behind the router.. but it also makes people have to buy another router they don't actually need.. hence good for the Apple bottom line. And what Apple deems is good for it.. is plainly good for you.. !!
    The solution is to use the airport express downstairs.. plugged into your netgear router.. and tick allow extend network.. and set the TC upstairs to extend a wireless network. In this mode the TC will keep the ethernet active.
    Isn't it fun when you have Apple working hard to close the loop.
