Can't connect by wired connection

I just moved into a new house, and ordered a fios connection through Surewest. I bought a LinkSys E3000 Wireless-N Router, and my iMac is connecting fine to the internet wirelessly...however I'm not getting anything when it's wired to the router.
In network settings it says "connected" in the ethernet section, yet if I turn "airport off" I can't load a single page (despite it saying the ethernet is "connected"). My router also shows that there's an active connection. So I connected the data cable directly from the port (the one that's inside the house, not on the router) to my computer, and I still had the same problem. I don't even know where to begin with, I'm not sure if it's a problem with my internet provider, my router, or my computer.

Hardwire the connection directly from your fios to the computer.
Go to the Network Pref Pane and go to Location > Edit.
Add a new location.
Click Apply at the bottom of the Network window.
Restart the computer.
Go back to the Network Pref Pane -- what is the IP address you have for your ethernet connection?
If you still don't have an internet connection and the IP address is valid (not 169 or 10 or 192) then power cycle your fios connection (if possible). I turn my modem off for at least 30 seconds if not 5 minutes.
If that doesn't take care of it, try your computer at a different hard wired connection (work, school, Apple Store, etc.). If it works some place else but not at home you may want to call Surewest to make sure they are not using provisioning / MAC Address filtering.
Hope that helps.

Airplay only works whenever Apple TV is connected through wired connection

Hello,
I got a Apple TV for christmas, however i can't seem to get it working properly with airplay with my ipad mini or iphone.
If i use a wired connection the airplay icon shows up on my ipad and iphone just fine, but if i use the wireless connection
the airplay icon just won't show up, but Apple TV got internet and full signal.
I've use this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215 troubleshoot and tried to find others with the same problem with no luck.
It's the same network they are connected to, they both have internet, but no airplay.
I hope anyone can help me fix this, since i only got 1 internet connection in each room, which in this room is used by a computer.
Thank you in advance.

Have been on Apple products since Apple 2 euro plus in 1982. Apple TV is strictly a wired product if you want a consistent and reliable product. Safe to treat it as a Beta product.

How to connect broadband(wired)connection to mobil...

Hi,
Anybody give me solution to connect a broadband connection to my mobile[N70-1] through a PC.[Is it possible]

the link you provided refers to Gnubox and this app is actually what i was referring to in my post when i said unreliable, and too difficult to set.
many have tried to use that, only few trials were successful. and for the time being that is the only app i know of , that promises to allow you to connect through your house internet connection.
on the other hand, "the other way around" using your mobile data plan and internet connection to connect your pc to the internet, is very easy , and as sapprobaby said , all you need comes in the box.

Can't get a wired connection pre install

Hi, I'm trying to fresh install arch on my desktop.
I am getting a little frustrated because I've restarted the process a handful of times today.
Following the Beginners' Guide, one of the first things I do it try to establish a network connection.
#ping -c 3 www.google.com
ping: unknonw host www.google.com
then:
#systemctl stop dhcpcd.ervice
#ip link set enp2s0 down
#ip link set enp2s0 up
#dhcpcd enp2s0
dhcpcd[411]: version 5.6.8 starting

dhcpcd[411]: enp2s0 sending IPv6 Router Solicitation
dhcpcd[411]: enp2s0 no IPv6 Routers available
dhcpcd[411]: timed out
can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?
Like I said I am getting pretty frustrated and I might switch distributions soon
If you need more info about my system please let me know what it is, and where I can find it.
Thanks for reading
I don't know why I can't connect. I have my ethernet cable running directly from my pc to my router. What is really bothering me is I was able to connect earlier and I was partway through the INSTALLATION process when I lost the connection. Every other internet enable device in my house is working.
edit: changed boot to installation

Strike0 has a really good point. The r8168 package provides a module. The module matches up with a certain kernel version. With Arch Linux the dependencies in the official repos are not versioned because there is the expecatation that users will keep their machiens up to date.
Unfortunately, I think that even if you just skip the dhcpcd part with a static IP as Strike0 suggested, you are probabbly going to end up with crippled functionality if using the r8169 module. I'm not saying it is not worth a try, but it may end up that way.
The other option is to use the Arch Rollback Machine and find the proper r8168 package that matches whatever kernel version is on teh archiso. The Arch Rollback Machine is sorted by date, so it is really quite easy to find what you are looking for by simply trying to find the date at which that particular kernel version is on core. Then, staying in that date directory, just navigate up to the parent directory of core, and then go into community and find the r8168 package. Then use that instead of the current one you have probably downloaded.
I do think that unless you actually need an additional ethernet card for some application, that buying another is probaly not the best route here. Why buy something that you don't actually need? I think really solving your problem correctly will give you greater insight into how the Arch repos are handled and maintained (version-wise), and maybe it might motivate you to actually do regular updates... if you weren't already. I find it rather amazing how amny people come to these forums saying "I can't install package X. I haven't updated in seven months, what could be the problem?" If you are going to use a rolling release system, I can't even begin to understand why you wouldn't maintain your system... or why one would choose a rolling release in the first place.
OTOH, if you have some other practical application for an additional ethernet card once you are done... then that is a different story.

ITunes store won't connect via Wired connection, but will via wireless

Hi
At the moment I can't connect to the iTunes when I'm using an Ethernet connection but it works when I use wireless.
Any ideas how i can sort this out?
Thanks

Check your Preferences set up-- you may need to manually reset to the other connection.

Can an airport express support wireless and wired connection at the same time

im wondering if i can use wireless and wired connection at the same time

The Ethernet port that the old AirPort Express has got is to connect the AirPort Express to your modem, not to connect another PC or Mac, so you can only connect wireless devices to the AirPort Express.
If you have the new AirPort Express, you can connect a wired PC or Mac and more wireless devices or computers at the same tiem

WRT55AG- Wired Connectivity Issues

I have a BEFW11S4 that has worked great for at least 2 years now. My setup is cable internet (from Comcast) to the router, with a wired connection to a desktop and a wireless connection to, at most, 2 laptops and an adapter I use to feed ehternet to my xbox 360.
A few months ago I purchased a WRT55AG, version 2. With the initial firmware, I was able to replace the BEFW11S4 fairly easily, and seemed to be ok for a day or two. Then I started having issues with internet connectivity (It was a while ago, but I believe the wireless network stayed up while internet was intermittent and/or disappeared completely to both wireless and wired devices. I can't recall if the desktop was have local area connection issues, or just internet dropped.). I put the BEFW11S4 back in and haven't had time to start testing again until recently.
Since I've tried to set up the WRT55AG again, I haven't been able to get an internet signal from my modem to the router. Further, when I have my setup modem-->WRT55AG-->wired desktop, I get an error saying that my local area connection is down. Modem-->BEFW11S4-->desktop gives me no such error. Wireless network connectivity works (although it seems intermittent), so I have been able to wirelessly apply firmware upgraded v1.79. I have tried every reset sequence possible between modem, router, and desktop. I am not a network wiz by any stretch of the imagination- I tried to feel my way through some of the MAC address cloning using the wireless connection to the router, but I'm not sure that would help if I can't get a wired connection.
If I can't get the router to acknowlege a hard line coming in with internet, or my desktop to acknowledge the wire coming in from the router, I'm not sure what I can do. Any advice?

Some more information- when I connect the WRT55AG to my Comcast (Motorola SB5100) modem, the 'Internet' light on the router does not respond. The same when I connect via hardline to my functioning Linksys wireless-b router.
However when I connect via hardline it to my access point downstairs (a wireless Motorola adapter with an ethernet output), the internet light comes on solid for a few seconds and then blinks.
By the way, with everything I try, when I plug the router in, Power is a solid green and Wireless A and Wireless G lights blink green. DMZ light is off, as are the port and internet indicators.
Any help would be appreciated. Wireless seems to work fine but I can't get an internet signal in through the hardline.

Wrt54g - no wired connection - cannot find ethernet port upon setup, cannot get wired connection

I've had my wrt54g router for a little over 1 year. I had to get support to set up the router initially b/c it could not find the ethernet port when I tried to set it up initially. I am past that date and recently had to move the router and the PC. When I tried to redo the setup same issue - i upgraded the firmware and same issue. If i uplug the router and plug the cable directly from the cable modem into my pc, everything works well, but when i try to set up a wireless connection, the wired connection goes down, but the wireless connection works and i cannot get the wired connection back up. i am a novice with the device, so any detailed help in trouble shooting the problem and getting me back up on both a wired and wireless basis would be appreciated.

As you upgraded the router's firmware,I would suggest you to reset the router for 30 seconds and configure the router from the scratch.Make sure that the Modem is connected to the router on the internet port and the computer to the router on the ethernet port.
Also check the ip address you are getting on the computer hardwired to the router...Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then,try to open the setup page..

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.

Can i set up a wired connection in another room?

Hello BT community forums
I am a BT customer using the BT homehub 2.0 connected to my main phone line.
My question is: Downstairs I have the typical setup with my computer for wireless to my sons bedroom in the newly built extentions but the wireless connection is poor and disconnects often. This extentions bedroom has a phoneline in aswell with a fully working BT homephone, would I be able to set up a wired connection to the computer in the extention bedroom using this phoneline so we can have a wired connection to my sons computer?
If any other information is required please ask and I will provide.
Thank you for any help and advice provided.

No you can't use the phone line to provide an Ethernet connection to your Son's computer. Also, you can't have two Routers on the same Telephone Line. Some options are:
Move the BT HH to a position nearer your Son's room
Use a pair of Powerline Ethernet adapters to provide Ethernet connection ove your Mains wiring
Run an Ethernet Cat5 cable from the Router to your Son's room
Set up a Wireless "repeater" using WDS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Distribution_System
Is there a good reason why the Wireless performance is so poor? How far is the computer from the Router and how many/ what construction are the intervening walls?
Is it possible that there is another Wireless signal interfering with yours? Have you tried changing Wireless Channel?

Can't Connect Via Wired Ethernet Broadband Connection

Replaced a Westell 7500 with a DSL-N10 because of constant disconnects. The Westell had no problem connecting via the wired ethernet broadband connection which I switch to when I need to improve buffering for videos. The DSL-N10 won't connect and reports "Error 651 Modem reported a problem". I reconnected the Westell to determine if there was a problem but it connected to the wired connection immediately. Question is do I need to change or add a setting in the DSL-N10 to get a wired connection or is this something I need to conract Verizon support about?

Can I connect a wired device to access network?

I have an Airport Express set up as "Join a Wireless network" Can I connect a wired device to the ethernet port of my AE so that it can access the network?

The Ethernet port is normally enabled in the "Join" mode, if you have one of the newer 802.11n models of the AirPort Express.
If you have an older "b/g" version of the Express, the Ethernet port is not enabled in the "join" mode. Check the model number on the side of the Express. If you see A1084 or A1088, this is an older version of the Express.
Test your current Express to see if the port is already enabled by temporarily turning off the wireless on a laptop and connecting the laptop to the Express using an Ethernet cable. See if you can get an Internet connection. If you can, you know the Ethernet port is working.

How can i get a wired internet connection in a hotel to connect to an iPad?

I am going to South Korea. The hotel says they have a wired connection for internet service.
I'd like to leave my laptop at home and use my wi-fi for email etc.
is there a gadjet or something will will allow me to access the internet in my room?

I do not believe any suggestions will work unless you also carry a laptop that will help you to initially configure the router.
So if you are ONLY carrying an iPad, you are stuffed! Can anyone help to confirm this?
thanks very much
Incorrect. I took a new, never before opened Airport Express to Japan with me. I configured it with the aforementioned Airport Utility which I had downloaded to my iPad before I left. It took lestt then 5 minutes to set up.
