Bridge for ethernet port

I am looking for a bridge for ethernet port of MSI 180. The bridge is used for wireless connection (It changes wired connection type to wireless one either 11b or 11g). Is there a bridge compatible with Mega 180?

Well as for the WGA54G,
I am (again!) struggling to get it working, I recently had issues where the reset button did not work (thank god I remembered my password)
For some reason any changes I made were not saved, that got fixed by updating the firmware.
It does not support WPA (have to check to be sure)
It does only support one device (so you cannot connect a switch to it and have multiple devices connected to your network.
For some reason it does not understand I have a DHCP server running, I have issues getting the DHCP forwarded to the device it is supposed to create wireless for.
connectivity is so-so I had to cap the max transfer limit to get a stable connection.
If I were to buy one again (which I may do, since I need it to connect my DVD player to my network) I would buy a accesspoint, and not a game adapter.
As for brands I will definitately not buy Linksys again, nor Asus. I bought a Asus PCI wifi adapter, which has buggy software (maybe related to Windows ME).
Does anyone else have comments on wireless suppliers that have good software added to their hardware. I am quite happy with my 3Com router, which is quite easy to manage.
Do not have comments on WAP54G, as above I will not buy a linksys product again.
How is US Robotics for instance ?

Wrt54gl: Led for ethernet port two always on.

I've had my router for three days now and have only managed to establish an ethernet connection with my computer two times. Of those two times the wired connection lasted only a couple of hours before being lost, but the wireless connection always remains stable. A weird thing I noticed when setting my router for the first time was this: The led indicator for ethernet port two was always on and, indeed, remains always on despite there not being any connection in the port.
On my first successful connection I could only manage to get a signal through port two (with ports one, three and four giving me no such luck). With my second successful connection I managed to get established through port one while port two's led, as always, remained lit.
My question is this: Could this led be indicitive of some hardware problem?

That's strange,I would suggest you to hard-reset the router for 45 seconds,power cycle the router and re-configure it from scratch...Now,check the port no 2.

Drivers/firmware for ethernet port?

I recently got rid of my PC (YAY!!!), meaning I no longer need my cheap crappy wireless router. However, when I hook my Ethernet cable up to the port in my PB, I can not connect to the web. I'd like to try reinstalling the necessary driver/firmware, as doing so recently solved my non-working USB ports problem, but I don't know where to find the driver... Can anybody post a link to a site where I can download a driver? Or perhaps have a better way to connect?
(I understand that what I am looking for is probably under my nose, but I'm not computer savvy enough to know what terms to search for.... heh..)
thanks

Sorry, posted this one in the wrong department... I asked in the proper one (Networking, internet, etc...) Mods can delete this if so desire

Issue with cisco ONS 15310. Slot with Ethernet ports, designed for bridging.

Hi, guys. I’ve got an issue with cisco ONS 15310 sdh optical network. I’ve got a special slot with Ethernet ports, designed for bridging. Assume, we’ve got to multiplexers, named A and B with ports A0 and B0 respectively. The ios console of these slots says, the configuration is as follows:
no ip address set on these ports
Ports are administratively up
Auto mdix
Bridge groups are the same on these ports.
Dot1q tunnel.
I’m trying to monitor a device with an ip-address connected to port B0. It answers ping if I connect the notebook directly to a device. But if I connect the notebook to port A0 and ping the device pluged in port B0 through the optical network, it doesn’t answer. I tried connections with straight and cross cable.
Guys, who set the network said, it should work as a point to point bridge with no extra configuration. But it doesn’t. I used wireshark sniffer to lookup what’s happening on port A0. All I see is cdp-s from port A0 and self-announcements of the notebook.
Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Trying to confiq cisco bridge WET200. connected to macbook ethernet port. entered 192.168.1.226 for config util. Times out.

I am trying to configure (due to WEP code on my wireless network) Cisco bridge WET200 for use in my home theater. To configure, I connected to ethernet port of macbook OS 10.6.8. Entered IP address 192.168.1.226 for config utility but it times out. Cisco says I need either IE or firefox. Downloaded firefox but still fails. Has anyone had experience with this?

Found that if I clean up DNS for my domain with PTR and A then everything started working properly after a rebuild.

Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access? Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

Thanks for the help. Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible. Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it?
I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located. Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet. Thanks for the help.

If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

Share Airport Connection to Ethernet port in BRIDGE mode?

I've been trying to do this for a while now, but I haven't been able.
I have the modem form my ISP hooked to a Airport Express configured in BRIDGE mode, thus creating a wireless network for my home with "live" IPs for all the computers (yes... I know the security risks...).
My G4 (across the room) gets Internet from it's Airport Card and I configured the Share Internet preference pane to "Share the Internet Connection from the Airport to the Ethernet Port", so I can create (...extend, really) a WIRED network from my G4's Ethernet Port.
The thing is that I want this wired network to have also "live" IPs, but the Airport Card always has the "Distribute IP Addresses" (or it's equivalent, from the Airport Admin Setup) activated, so it provides a 192.168.X.X network and I can't find a way to turn that off.
In other words, I want it to acts as a BRIDGE and not as DHCP Server.
Anyone?
TIA

I was trying to use IPNetShareX to configure it, but I didn't find a way. I'll keep looking...

Airport Express ethernet port for printing?

I've recently purchased an Extreme (802.11n) for my wireless internet service which is working just fine on its own. In the other room I've set up my older Airport Express for only networking my printers. I don't want to hook up the printer to the ethernet ports on the Extreme as it is near my TV and entertainment center. I understand I cannot use a USB hub to connect two printers to the Express, but is it possible to use the Ethernet port on the Express for my Lexmark E240 or any other ethernet ready laser printer?
Thanks
Al Powerbook, MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hello Jeff Crowell...Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I understand I cannot use a USB hub to connect two printers to the Express, but is it possible to use the Ethernet port on the Express for my Lexmark E240 or any other ethernet ready laser printer?
To activate the Ethernet port on the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), you need to configure it as a Remote Base Station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) - Remote Base Station Setup
(Note: To facilitate setting up the Base Station(s), place them in near proximity of each other during the set up phase.)
Either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility (in Manual Mode) to make the following settings:
AirPort - Wireless tab
- Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
- Network Name: <existing AirPort Network Name>
- Radio Mode: 802.11b/g compatible
- Channel: 1
- Wireless Security: None
AirPort - WDS tab
- WDS Mode: WDS remote
- Allow wireless clients (enabled)
- WDS Main: <MAC address of the Main Base Station>
Internet - Internet Connection tab
- Connect Using: AirPort (WDS)
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
- Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)

Creating a network bridge from ethernet to wifi for xbox

Hey guys, I'm trying to create a network bridge from eth0(ethernet port) to ra0(wifi) in an attempt to avoid buying a wireless adapter for my new Xbox 360 I got this Christmas. With Windows, it looks incredibly simple(just going into network settings and right clicking basically) but I don't want to boot into windows every time I want to use live... I have searched around the net but I always get DNS errors whenever I play with iptables, does anyone have a good way to get this to run?

Any chance you guys are going to finish answering it? Since Arch is the do-it-yourself distro, can we get a group of people together who want to make a package or go "fix" the NetworkManager source code to include support for autoconfiguration of bridges?
Windows calls them bridges now, just for your information. In windows you select or highlight both network interface devices at the same time, right click on either one, and select "Bridge Connections". This is incredibly easy for the user, and it is just as powerful as that mess of instructions you gave up there.
scripts are OK, but they should never be the final solution to a problem. Remember it helps if more people don't have to know everything about an operating system. If people can avoid the complexity of Linux, they will be happier, more productive, and will enjoy contributing software to Linux or telling their friends about Linux.
If it requires this "splint" scripting that doesn't work 100% of the time, Linux is going to die a very grisly death. I know more and more people nowadays who know to Bridge the connections in Windows to get internet on their xbox 360s. I can't convince any of them that Linux is better because they ignore the rest of Linux and complain about this one missing feature. Indeed even I can't use Linux to bridge my laptop's connections for use with my desktop or another computer that needs to download 3rd party wireless drivers from the internet.
I am a huge proponent of Linux, but to be honest, I notice that a bunch of work still needs to be done. I realize the market and business forces are set against Linux right now, but if everyone would stop making new distros and instead fix the packages that go into the existing ones, we could have Linux replace Windows within 5 years.
If you don't like a distro, go work for the company and help them improve it. Making your own distro is not going to help solve the watered-down developer population.
Networking is something that is VERY important to people. NetworkManager was a great success and boon to everyday Linux usage. It needs a bit of polishing; that is all.

How to create a bridge between the two given GB Ethernet ports.

Hi,
I have a MAC Pro in my test set up. is there any way to create a bridge in between the two given Gigabyte ports and control the bandwidth for the device connected to Ethernet-2 while getting the internet connection from Ethernet-1.

I believe you can manually set the bit rate for the second Ethernet port when it is operating as Ethernet Sharing (essentially turning that port into a limited Router).
There are no standard tools in Mac OS X for inspecting the packets there, but there may be tools available for networking developers/troubleshooters to do that.
When that feature is enabled, the port appears from your Mac to have a "self-assigned" IP Address -- a semi random Address in the 169.254.xxx.yyy range. From the connected devices, it will appear to have a legitimate private Router Address, often 192.168.1.1

Can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices?

can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices? we have it connected wirelessly but devices connected to the ethernet ports are not working.

Not as an additional router.. the TC will be plugged into the main router via ethernet (or ethernet equivalent)..
Then the TC is setup in bridge mode. It will simply act as a Switch and HDD.
The wireless can be setup in a number of ways.
From your convenience point of view use it in roaming network mode..
you simply give the TC the same Wireless Name as the existing routers SSID.
Same security setting and password. WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES which is the best.
But they both use different wireless channels.. normally if you leave the TC on auto it will work fine, but I prefer to control the network.. so set the main router to say 1 and the TC to 11.
You can also use a completely different wireless name etc.. that is up to you. It is still a single flat network and the only thing that is important is only having one router.

How to specify one ethernet port for network home directories (other for normal filesharing)?

So I'm trying to get Home Directories up and running on a 10.6.8 Xserve (waiting until I get my NFS sharepoints migrated to a Linux server [for other reasons] before moving up to 10.7 Server). But posting here since that will be happening in the next few weeks, and it might be applicable now (so I can at least get that resolved ahead of time).
I have a different DNS entry for each ethernet port: server.office.domain.com at 192.168.0.11 for the first, and homes.services.internal at 192.168.0.10 for the second. DNS lookups for both resolve correctly (as does the reverse lookup).
If I use the Server Admin to pick a sharepoint as an automount for Home Directories, everything is fine, but it picks the server.office.domain.com hostname. Picking that works just fine, but that is also the connection that feeds the filesharing. I'd prefer to split that home directory traffic out onto the second ethernet port. So I tried just duplicating the initial connection (since it can't be edited directly in Workgroup Manager) and changing the hostname to the internal one, but I get an error when attempting to log in (the client login screen gives a very helpful "Couldn't login because of an error" error message) and don't see anything in the server logs.
The client machine shows the following line:
Code:
10/20/12 5:27:42.688 PM authorizationhost: ERROR | -[HomeDirMounter mountNetworkHomeWithURL:attributes:dirPath:username:] |
PremountHomeDirectoryWithAuthentication( url=afp://homes.services.internal/Users,
homedir=/Network/Servers/homes.services.internal/Volumes/HomeDirectories/Users/ user123, name=user123 ) returned 45
(added line breaks so it didn't extend off the page)
So it looks like this is failing because the automount isn't in place, but I'm not sure how to work that out either (i.e. how do I add that making sure it uses the internal hostname?).
Any suggestions on getting this to work?
I realize one solution is just to LACP the two ports, but that is a different ball of wax (I may do that later if I get a 4 port ethernet card and performance limitations demand it).

A possible solution might be this.
On ADSLBOX and CABLEBOX configure different subnets for the LAN, e.g.
ADSLBOX: 192.168.1.0/24
CABLEBOX: 192.168.2.0/24
The MEDIABOX gets these static IPs:
ADSL-LAN: 192.168.1.2
CABLE-LAN: 192.168.2.2
On the MEDIABOX, configure the two network interfaces using two routing tables.
The ADSL-LAN routing table
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 src 192.168.1.2 table 1
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 table 1
The CABLE-LAN routing table
ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.2.2 table 2
ip route add default via 192.168.2.1 table 2
The main routing table
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 src 192.168.1.2
ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.2.2
# use the CABLE-LAN gateway as default, so general internet traffic from MEDIABOX runs over CABLEBOX
ip route add default via 192.168.2.1
define the lookup rules
ip rule add from 192.168.1.2 table 1
ip rule add from 192.168.2.2 table 2
To test the setup:
ip route show
ip route show table 1
ip route show table 2
I don't know how to persist something like this in ArchLinux using netctl. Might require to write a special systemd unit for it. Above is a working example from a RedHat box at my company.

Can I convert a PB 1400's PC card port to a ethernet port for file sharing?

My plan here is to connect a PowerBook 1400cs/133 running OS 8.6 to an iBook G4 running OS 10.4 by means of an ethernet crossover cable, and move my important files (ClarisWorks 4.0 docs and games mostly) to the new computer. But the PB 1400 has no ethernet port! Is there something I can put in the PC card slot that will convert it to an ethernet port?

jpl, Denis, here's my setup:
The PB 1400 is connected to the iBook via a Farallon EtherWave/EtherMac Ethernet PC Card (with a blue arrow, PCMCIA 2.1, PC Card Standard). I have the Farallon software installed and the Farallon extension turned on. A "Farallon EN Card" icon appears on my desktop, and the little light on the cord where it connects to the card is green. I used to use the card to connect to the internet back in the day when the 1400 was my primary computer, so I'm confident it works.
The PB 1400 (name: Ben's PowerBook 1400): AppleTalk, configured to connect via alternate ethernet. File sharing, on. TCP/IP, connected via AppleTalk (Mac IP). I've tried configuring that both "Using Mac IP server" and manually by entering in the iBook's IP address and router address (the 1400 is not connected to the internet). As far as I can tell, Users/Groups is configured; it has "Ben" as "user" and "Guest" as "guest user."
The iBook (name: Ben's iBook G4) is set up basically identical to the way jpl describes his iMac above. Like his, the services panel of sharing on the iBook says "Other Macintosh users can access your computer at afp://x.x.x.6." I also manually entered the iBook's IP address, subnet mask, and router. Under my shared location, under Built-in Ethernet, TCP/IP is configured and AppleTalk is active.
Still, file sharing is not working. When I try to access the iBook from the 1400, I go to the Chooser, click the AppleShare icon, and "Ben's iBook G4" in the file server window. When I select it and click OK, I go to a screen to enter my name (Ben) and password as a registered user. I'm not sure if the password it wants is the file sharing password I set up for the 1400 or the administrator password for the iBook, so I tried them both. I also tried connecting as a "guest." In all cases, after I hit the "Connect" button, I got the error message "The connection to this server has been unexpectedly broken."
No luck going the opposite direction either. When I go to Go: Connect to Server: Browse on the iBook, "Ben's PowerBook 1400" appears in the Network area, but when I select it and hit the "connect" button, I get this error message: "The file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect to it."

Which one can I use properly to monitor all the wireless Devices in my hous

Actually, none of the options will do what you are looking for it to do. That is because, this application only monitors the traffic from the device it is hosted on. That would also mean that you would have to run a copy on each computer that will access the Internet on your network; note their individual usages, and then, combine them to get an idea of the total usage.
However, if you are only interested in the amount of Wi-Fi traffic that only your computer is seeing, then the "AirPort Network Card" option would be the correct choice.
