Backing up via HD directly and wireless network

If you backup on the same hard drive connected via USB and then connect afterwards via wifi through the router, does the software recognise its the same hard drive to backup from?
E.g. will I have to start from scratch again when backing up via wifi?

USB won't work, it is not for HDD access outside in.. it is for TC access to HDD and printers out.
Plug in via ethernet.. turn off wireless and see how it goes...
Let me guess you are running Lion?? Expect networking trouble.

Officejet Pro L7780 Wired and wireless networking at same time

I have an officejet pro L7780 printer that I would like to use wired and wireless networking at the same time. It that possible. The printer is connected directly to the network by ethernet, but I would like to print wirelessly with an ipad or iphone using HP ePrint Home and Biz.
Thanks,
Maurice Hawley

The bad news: no it is not possible to have two connections active on your printer at once.
The good news: the router will connect any device to the printer regardless of how the printer or the devices are connected. So your iPad can print to a printer that is wired (with Ethernet) to your router.
If it does not work, restart your router by pulling its power plug momentarily.

Airport and Wireless network issues

I have read all the issues about airport and wireless network. I don't see the issues that I have. My issue is that my wireless network used to automatically connect as soon as I power up my powerbook; then one day I power up and I was connected to default and I did not see my wireless address listed. I when into airport setup to try and setup again and it would not let me saying my password was not right. I logged off and then on again this time my network address was listed, but it still would not connect automatically to the network, now everytime I go to the web I must pick my own network and put in a passwork that sometimes works and sometimes not.
I have not done any updates or put any new software on the powerbook, so this is not the reason for my problem.
Please Help!!!
Thank's

Had this issue with our imac after upgrading to 10.4
The answer was to go into Network and select airport tab.
Listed there (for me) were three settings. Delete all of them ,they will probably include the actual network you want! Click to apply. Re-start the Mac.
Go back to network and airport and you should now see only the network you wish to join. It will ask for passwords again!!
Click apply and restart. It worked for me.

DHCP Server - Different Range for Wired and Wireless Network

We have DHCP setup on Windows Server 2012r2 and the range given to us by the main HQ is 10.65.112.1-10.65.112.254 (there are several exclusions under this range)
Now since the range gets exhausted quickly, they provided another one 10.65.122.1-10.65.122.254.
What our branch would love to do is to dedicate the first range for Wired Computers and the other range for Wireless Devices (Phone,Tablets, Mobiles)
Right now we have 2 different scopes setup in DHCP, the second one is disabled. In our network we have 6 access points and also have a CISCO SG300-52 Managed Switch. It has an inbuilt DHCP Server and also has the function for DHCP Relay. But we are not actually using any of its functionality as of now.
So my question is how to have 2 separate ranges for wired and wireless network. People have mentioned vlans but I have no clue on how to get that done.
Is there a simpler way avoding V-LANS or if not, would love to get step by step procedure on how to go about this. Any help will be much appreciated
Regards,
Sheldon

Hi Sheldon, please read this post
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2270049
You will need some modifications though. Steps 1-6 is very relevant. On step 6, you need to pay particular close attention to the "default router". If the SX300 handles your intervlan routing then the default router needs to be the IP of your VLAN. If you have a different device to handle VLAN routing then the default router needs to be that IP address.

Itunes not connecting via airplay on wired and wireless network

I have some computers on the wired part of my network, and others on wireless. My appletv2 shows in itunes on ALL (both wired and wireless) computers that there exists an AppleTv airplay speaker, but only the computers on the same "side" of the network (wired, or wireless) can actually connect and use the appletv as an airplay device. I have Bell Fibe25 and they provide 2 devices to achieve wireless connectivity, the main VDSL unit that has 4 lan ports on the back, and a basic Cisco WAP610N that connects into one of the lan ports on the VDSL unit for the wireless part.
My firewall is turned off as well.
Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening? My MacPro does not have wireless, and it would not be practical to connect my AppleTV2 to Ethernet cable.
Thanks in advance,
S

I have Windows 7 and the same resolution fixed my problem but you do it in a slightly different way:
Open Control Panel.
Network and Internet
Network and Sharing Center
On the left menu bar select "Change adapter Settings"
Right Click on Network Adapter (Might be Wireless or Wired or change Both) select Properties
Under "The connection uses the following items:" UNCHECK - Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
Click OK
Restart Itunes and refresh Connection!

A very strange wired and wireless network issue

Hello,
I have never had any issue at all with my macbook (2008) until this week, I use it both for work and personal use.
Most of time, I'm used to be on customer site, so I use wired and wireless connections depending of the situation....
I have never had any issue at all with wifi neither ethernet connections during three years, until this week... and I can say this is the most strange thing I have ever seen....
Using wired or wireless connection, always the speed of network was really good, at home, many customers, etc never had any problem...
But this week I'm currently out of home, and the hotel where I'm staying I'm having very poor network rate....
Using wireless connection, the download speed is no more than 10kb.... and using ethernet I get less speed... but during the day I'm on customer site, using the ethernet connection and download speed is really good, more than 500k-800k....
I have already tried in the hotel few wifi connections (there are three) and differents wired connections (in diferent rooms) and the download speed is always the same, no more than 10kb...
During this afternoon, I could go into hotel's lab and could connect directly to the router using cable, same speed no more than 10kb....
The most strange thing is on their computers the download speed using wired connection is around 6Mb....
how is possible I'm getting no more than 10kb of download speed when the pc's at hotel using same wired connection gets 6Mb?
I have already deleted current network connections, execute onyx to clear everything, perform dhcp connection, tried manual ip etc, and always the results are the same...
I know there is no problem with the macbook, because it works pretty good at every location I've been... but until this week...
Sincerely I'm getting a little crazy here, I'll appreciate any help!!!
thanks in advance

I've seen something like this on my T400 when it was running Vista. Now that I use Win 7 it's been OK. I rather doubt that your issue is the same but I'm tossing it out here just on the off chance.
Im my case, I had to downgrade my Intel 5300 card to a 5100 (as suggested by a Lenovo 2nd-tier tech) to get things working.
My symptoms were a little different. Wifi was fine until I went back to a wired network. After that, trying to use the same wifi AP as before would end up associated, but no internet access. DHCP wasn't working. The GUI "find" app didn't work as expected either. Some APs showed up, and some didn't.
If I configured for automatic connection to my home AP it would try and fail. Just rebooting at that point would again attempt an automatic connection that would succeed.
What I have noticed now that I run Win 7 is that Access Connections is completely useless. Often the "finder" doesn't show an AP 3 feet away. I didn't notice that this happened after a switch from wired, but maybe.
Are you using Access Connections? If so, you might try uninstalling it.
Sorry I can't be of real help,
Z.

MacBook, 10.4.8, and wireless network problems. How I solved it.

Hi
I've seen a few post about not connecting to a wireless network after the 10.4.8 upgrade.
Before the 10.4.8 update my MacBook worked fine on my wireless network; after the 10.4.8 update I could not connect to my network via AirPort, though it kept offering to connect to my neighbours networks. My wireless network is configured for WPA.
I managed to get this working by deleting my existing AirPort network configuration from System Preferences and creating a new configuration with the same network settings.
Hope this helps,
Matt
iMac G5 1.8GHz 1GB 20"; MacBook 1GB; Mac OS X (10.4.8)

In "Network" I deleted all prefered networks one by one, set it to automatic, turned airport off and back on, and add my network again as prefered network, set it back to connect to preferred network. see apples instructions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304482
Now its fast and connects by it self again.

Dreamweaver and wireless network problem

This isn't about Airport, but I couldn't find the proper place to post this, so I put it here. Please advise if I'm wrong.
I'm running Tiger (10.4.2) on a dual G5. My husband is running Windows XP on a 2GHz Dell, and also a Dell laptop. We just moved and HE is wireless now, not me. I am hardwired to a Netgear router (doesn't seem to have a name but the number on the bottom is CD814WG). We are using RoadRunner as our ISP, as we have done for seven or eight years, since its introduction into our city. TimeWarner did our installation, and everything is fine with my machine (although my husband's problems are another issue altogether!).
I should also say that we are in no way networked, and that is not our goal or plan. We have the Netgear router, and as I mentioned, I'm wired directly to it. We both use broadband individually, and have no need to share a connection.
I'm not having any problems at all with my broadband connection -- internet and Mail are fine -- but since the installation of the Netgear router I can't use Dreamweaver to upload HTML pages I create. I can use Fetch just fine, which doesn't surprise me since I've always powered right through my firewall with Fetch, while I always had to turn it off, with Dreamweaver. And of course I should say that my firewall is down when I have the uploading problem. The built-in OS X firewall is currently the only one I have installed, BTW.
When I try to upload, DW gives me a dialog box saying "Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time. The Select Newer and Sychronize commands will not be available." And of course I can't upload anything.
Any ideas? I have the information the TimeWarner guy left here so I can go onto the Netgear admin page, but I don't know what to change/add so that I'm able to upload with DW. It's my understanding that port 80 is for internet connections, but as I mentioned, it's not blocked -- I can go online just fine. It's just that I can no longer upload HTML pages with Dreamweaver.
Thanks in advance...

I'm getting the same error message as you (Dreamweaver cannot determine the remote server time...).
I found that I could no longer upload with Dreamweaver (or see all the remote files) but I could with Transmit. However (and here the similarity ends) when I turned off the OSX firewall everything was fine.
This didn't make me feel very easy, however, as I preferred having the firewall up. I found that it would work with the firewall up if I checked the "use passive FTP" box in Remote Info in the Site Definition menu.
The Netgear router also has an NAT Firewall but I am using a Netgear router too, both hardwired on my iMac (via Airport Extreme - don't ask!) and wirelessly on my laptop. I haven't configured the firewall on that at all (I wouldn't dare!) and I'm getting through OK now. Try the passive FTP thing; it might work!

Problem with Skype and Wireless Networks

I have been having a problem with Airport for about 10 months. Long winded explanation follows.
Initially file transfers over wireless networks were extremely slow but this seems to have been that 10.5.2 update problem. There is a remaining issue when I use Skype on my Mac (details below) connected to a wireless network the incoming and outgoing audio drop out for 1 - 3 seconds at irregular but frequent intervals (approx every 5 - 10 seconds). This is regardless of the wireless network I am on - and that is dozens of them all over the world. Note it is voice only calls, not video. Apple has replaced the Airport card and the mother board; the OS has been reinstalled; test accounts set up but nothing fixes the problem.
At one point I had temporary relief by switching off 'Configure IPv6' in System Preferences/Network/Airport/TCP/IP. This worked for a month or so but now the problem is back as before.
All other aspects of wireless activity are fine. Wireless firmware is 1.4.4.
I have worn out my welcome with the usually sensational help desk. Any suggestions out there in Mac Land?

Hi there
Been a hectic week here getting this problem resolved. It is all OK now. Here is what we found and how it was done.
When Airport was playing up we set up an unlimited ping of the wireless router in the office. This is what it showed:

and so on.
After discussion with tech support they said the Airpot card had to be replaced. This was done with admirable expediency and I got the MBP back in 36 hours. On testing it the same problem was still there. Identical pattern on the ping test, the fault was not the hardware.
Once more a call to Apple and another tech. This time we booted from the OS 10.5 install disk and ran the ping test. I ran it for a few hours without seeing the fault, it worked fine. The problem had to be in the operating system.
After backing up all the data I zeroed the drive and did a clean install of the OS. Bingo! Problem gone.
So after 10 months, two airport cards and a mother board, the issue was in fact something corrupt deep in the OS.
So to anyone having similar problems with Airport, run a ping test as described above. If you see that kind of pattern, try a clean install before going down the hardware road.

Using a wired AND wireless network on one machine for better security

It occurs to me that if I could separate my Internet traffic from my LAN traffic, I could have the best security setup, so that machines on my network would only have file sharing enabled for the WIRED connection and I would use the Internet over the WIRELESS connection.
How do I configure my PowerBook and Mac Mini to do this? In the Sharing preference pane, it doesn't allow me to specify which network port the sharing will be active on.
And once I am conncected to both a wireless and wired network, giving each machine 2 IP addresses, how does the computer know to route the IP addresses to the right port?
I'm using an Airport Extreme Base Station (connected to a cable modem) configured to distribute IP addresses to the wireless ports on the computers for Internet and a Linksys router distributing IP addresses to the ethernet ports on the computers with sharing turned on.

in the Thinkvantage Access software, you can set the network preferences. So you can set the Ethernet to be your most preferred network connection method, while your wireless as the second most preferred method. Or which way you prefer.
So for example, when you dock and the computer detects the ethernet network connection, it will automatically switch to the ethernet as it becomes available. And when you undock, your computer will switch back to wireless as ethernet is not available.

I have a fairly new 27" iMac running Mac OS10.6.7, I'm trying to print to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via an in-house wireless network. I have installed the latest Epson drivers.

I have a fairly new iMac running OS 10.6.7. Im trying to print to an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 via an in-house wireless internet. I have installed the latest drivers. It was working a couple of months ago. My wife is on the same network using a MacBook Pro and the same OS and is having no problem.

I have been using an Epson 3800 with my I Mac for four years and up untill I upgraded to OSX Lion the only problem I had was colour issues associated with some ICC profiles. After upgrading to Lion and downloading the latest OSX update (10th May) I could not print.
One of the problms was that the print settings continuously defaulted to:
Page Setup: Sheet Feeder
Media Type: Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster
I would change the settings to what I wanted, I saved them selected Print. My printer promptly started changing from Matte ink (what I had set my print setting s for) to Photo Black.
After trying all i could to correct this. I finally gave up and rang the Epson Helpline. After 3 telephone calls over a day and a half during which I was talked through the procedure you described, the problems were still not resolved.
My contact on the Epson Helpline then tried to simulate the problem on his MAC. He discovered that he had the same problem the print settings would not save, albeit on a Epson 3880 driver. He then advised me that the problem was not with thw Epson Drivers it was a MAC/Apple problem.
I then rang the Apple Helpline (at £1.35 a minute) described the problem and was eventually put through to a supervisor. Who asked me to send her a set of screen shots describing the problem, This I have done, I have received an acknowledgement of receipt and have been advised that I should get a response within two working days.
I am waiting hopefully.
I have tried to print both via CS5 and Aperture the problem is the same in both instances.

Autoselection for a switch between wired and wireless network

Hello,
We currently have a VTC codec installed on a mobile cart that can connect via wireless or wired network. The cart has the Linksys WET610N Dual-Band Wireless-N gaming and video adapter bridge. If you want to go wireless you will have to unplug the CAT5 that goes into the walljack and plug in the cable from the bridge into the codec.
We need a 3-5 port switch. Port 1 will connect to the wireless bridge. Port 2 would be available to connect to a wall jack. Port 3 will connect to the codec.
We need the ability for the switch to autoselect port 1 and 2. If Port 2 is not connected (no link light), then Port 1 will be active. If Port 2 is active, Port 1 will be inactive.
I need to know how to configure the bridge and a network switch if this is scenerio is possible. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Aaron

Well, I thought i had tried this before, but I followed another board's suggestion of turning of IGMP proxy and it is now working. I can see my iTunes server which is wired on my wireless devices.

Airport Extreme and Fios.... I had fios hooked up today (Internet and phone only)... Want to my aebs as the primary and wireless network. Would someone be able to provide step by step instructions because I cannot figure it out. Thanks!

I had fios hooked up today and am about to rip my hair out... Would someone be able to share step-by-step instructions for connecting my airport extreme base station. I want to use it as my primary for everything including wireless (fios is Internet and phone only ). ThNk you in advance.

Thanks for taking the time to detail that. I think I have it, but I have a few things to clarify.
1. This negates the need for the Westell Series3 9100EM, because, the "router" mentioned in the line "Hook an Ethernet cable from the ONT to the router's WAN jack" is the Apple Extreme Base Station (or other suitable router), right?
2. I haven't got the TV portion of FIOS service, although I may add that at some point, so in my case the COAX to NIM (and the NIM for that matter) aren't needed, right?
I see a couple of issues. One, I have COAX run for the current connection. And, two, Verizon would need to come out again to do the CAT5 configure. Can the CAT5 run be that long and still be effective? Maybe the Westell router could be used to extend the wireless network? And, if FIOS TV is added could it be used in place of the NIM (since I already have the COAX and the Westell at the back of the TV)?
Regardless, I REALLY appreciate your help. On a side note, it's interesting that the NIM takes both the COAX and CAT5.

How to set up an integrated wired and wireless network

I have an iMac 17" 1GHz connected to a ethernet hub which in turn is connected to a DSL modem and from there to my ISP. I also have a MacBook Pro wirelessly connected to an AirPort Express; the AE is connected to the same ethernet hub through its ethernet port.
I can connect to the Internet wirelesly using the MacBook Pro, but I can not seem to connect to the iMac.
How can I keep the iMac wired and the MacBook Pro wireless, but see both on a network? The AE instructions don't seem to have an example for this kind of network.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Martin,
As Frank said, you'll need a router with DHCP and NAT abilities (nearly all have this) connected to the modem.
But just in case your "ethernet hub" is actually a router, just re-configure the AE not to distribute IP addresses - AirPort Admin Utility - Network tab. Try that and let us know.
For minimal clutter, if you were DSL broadband instead of cable, you could sell the modem, sell the ethernet router, sell the Airport Express and buy a single Ethernet and Wireless DSL modem router - for less than the price of the AE. Some people like to keep the modem separate to make upgrades to the modem cheaper. My solution is to buy a decent modem in the first place, ie make sure it has ADSL2+. Almost all modem/routers do this now, even my ancient ones have firmware upgrades to offer this.
For minimal spend, you can pick up an Ethernet router for about $30. Just replace your ethernet hub with it.
