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?

Trouble Connecting Via Wired Ethernet

Just bought Airport Extreme and I've successfully connected to the internet wirelessly from my G4 Powerbook (solid green light, etc.).
Great, but when I plug my G4 Tower (no card) into the AE base station Ethernet jack, I cannot connect to the internet. However, when I bypass the AE, and plug modem directly into G4 Tower computer, it connects fine.
Powerbook connects wirelessly fine.
Tower connects wired (direct) fine, but cannot connect through AE Ethernet jack.
What is the one little detail I am missing?
Thanks for any help.
G4 Dual 1.4 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.9)

When you say connecting your G4 through "an ethernet
jack", I assume you mean one of the LAN ports not the
WAN port which is where your internet input should be
connected.
Yes, that's correct. And the wireless is working perfectly.
Also if you go to Preferences, Network, it should
show your internal ethernet active when you attach
the G4 PPC.
When I try to connect, I get a pop-up: "Could not find a PPPoE server"
In System Prefs > Network > Network Status, the dot next to "Built-in Ethernet" goes green and text reads: "Built-in Ethernet is set-up to use PPPoE. Built-in Ethernet is plugged in but is not connected. 'Connect Automatically' is selected."
So I guess the answer is yes. The light next to "Built-in Ethernet" in Network is green, but it can't make a connection.
But when I bypass the AE and plug the modem straight into my Ethernet jack, it connects just fine.
So when my G4 Tower is plugged into the AE Ethernet LAN port, for some reason it can't seem to connect.
Any ideas?

What transfer speed can I expect via wired ethernet?

3 iMac's wired to an AirPort Extreme....what transfer speeds should I expect? I'm only getting 40-60MBps IMac to IMac via Ethernet provides up to 70MBps. I am wanting to get a Thunderbolt Drive but worry that while the iMac that the Thunderbolt HD is plugged into will get much faster transfer rates, when access the Thunderbolt HD from another iMac on the network I will still be stuck with the 40-60MBps rate. Surely there is a way to get faster network speeds than 40-60MBps?

Tesserax, You are are correct, I was just hoping that there was some way to get better performance out of my network speed so that the $1500 Thunderbolt purchase was worth it. What I now plan to do is get the $999 model R4 4-1TB just so I can have one since the iMac that the Thunderbolt HD will be plugged in to will be doing the most editing so in some ways it does help me....just not as much as I was hoping it would. I can at least take my old FireWire HD and plug it into my iMac and use that for FCPX projects that are for more personal than business use.
Having only 1 HD that 3 iMac's can use to edit images from has really helped me out with keeping everything in order.
If you can daisy chain the Thunderbolt Drives I have to wonder why they didn't have it so 2 iMac's couldn't connect to 1 HD. With 2 Thunderbolt ports on the iMac you would think you could connect iMacs together using 1 port on each then have the other port for like HD's, extra screens, etc You know what I mean? If you are going to make this super fast port/cable you might as well make it to connect iMacs as well.

How can I connect my i pad to a hard wired ethernet internet connection?

Can I connect my i pad to a hard wired ethernet internet connection?

No you can't. You can use Internet sharing with your computer making the computer the WiFi hotspot for the iPad, but you cannot connect the iPad to an Ethernet cable.

Printer won't stay connected via wired router

I have a Deskjet 1512 all-in-one and I'm having some problems getting it to work. I have Windows 8.1 and I'm connecting the printer through a linksys router via USB. The USB Control Center that I downloaded from linksys shows that the printer is connected, but it keeps connecting, then losing connection and I can't figure out how to keep it connected. So far I haven't even been able to print anything.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi @Blends412,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your HP Deskjet 1512 printer will not stay connected via wired router. I am happy to help!
According to your printer's specifications, and user guide, this printer only supports a direct USB cable connection, from the printer to the computer. You will need a USB 2.0 printer cable. The cable looks like this.
Please see this guide, Setting Up the Printer Hardware for HP Deskjet 1510 and 2540 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and 2..., on how to setup the printer.
Hope this resolves your issue, and thank you for posting!

Hello, I'm trying to connect my new TiVo XL4 box to my home network via an ethernet cable connection to my Airport Express but the TiVo box is not seeing the network. I have a green light emanating from the Airport Express so it is connected. Plz advise.

Hello, I'm trying to connect my new TiVo XL4 box to my home network via an ethernet cable connection to my Airport Express but the TiVo box is not seeing the network. I have a green light emanating from the Airport Express so it is connected. Please advise.

If you have not already done so, I suggest that you temporarily disconnect the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express that goes to the Tivo box.
Instead, turn off the wireless on a laptop and connect the laptop to the Ethernet port on the Express. See if you can get an Internet connection on the laptop.
If you still cannot get an Internet connection on the laptop, try another Ethernet cable that you know is working correctly.
Post back on your results.

Don't configure wi-fi (wireless) if/when (wired) ethernet is connected?

Is there a way to have mac os x not configure the wireless if/when the wired ethernet is "Connected".
My problem is that the wired connection is much more robust and I would prefer that connection.
I want both to use dhcp and request a hostname to be associated with the IP given by dhcp.
Since the wireless will almost always come up after the wired ethernet, it seem to want to
still the hostname to IP association and establish it for the wireless IP address.
This is not what I want.
The use case: put laptop to sleep. Move to a location that has wired ethernet.
Laptop is still asleep with the lid closed. Connect the wired ethernet cable.
Open the lid. Laptop wakes up and quickly establishes a connection using
dhcp on the wired ethernet. I little time later the wireless connection gets established.
The hostname get stolen from the wired and moved to the wireless which is
not at all optimal.
If there is anyway to avoid this, I would really appreciate it if someone could point
me to the solution.
Thanks.

This is a bug in OS X. It seems if WiFi is on, even if there is a Ethernet cable connected it always defaults to the WiFi connection. Even if the WiFi is off and you have a Ethernet cable connected when you turn on the computer and then turn on WiFi it again defaults to the WiFi connection.
I notice this all the time with file transfers across my home LAN. If the MBP WiFi is on the transfers take forever.
If I turn off WiFi files move much quicker from computer to computer. If I then turn on WiFi and do another transfer it goes slow again. This is with a Ethernet cable connected the whole time.
The computer, any computer, should aways default to the fastest connection no matter what other connections are available. In OS X this is not the case.
The other bug you are seeing is the NetBIOS name, Host name, not being propagated properly on the WINS tab under Network, Advanced, WINS, at least it is for me. Which stops Windows PCs from connecting to a Mac.
Sure the Mac Host name shows up on Win PCs but when trying to reach the Mac it comes up with a Username & Password dialog and even though you type in the correct Username & Password for the Mac it comes back with "Name or Password are incorrect".

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.

HP CP1525nw - Connect via wired network and wireless ad hoc?

At my job we have our HP 1525nw printer connected into the network printserver via ethernet cable. The printer has its own IP address setup on the network.
With support for XP computers ceasing, a copule of computers will be cut off/blocked from the job's network. One computer is close enough where we can make a USB connection to print. Another is located on another bench. Furthermore, the one that is further away from the printer also can't be upgraded to a compliant Windows OS due to incompatibility with specialized software used to operate equipment hooked up to this computer.
Is it at all possible for this wired network printer to also be setup to print wireless via an ad hoc connection? The idea was perhaps we could install a wireless card on thix XP computer and print wirelessly via a direct connection to the printer, avoiding having to connect to it via the wired network at all. But it is sounding like this wouldn't be possible. Looking for a direct answer before I start shopping around for a wireless PCI card.
This question was solved.

From other posts I have read, I think the CP1525 can be either ethernet or wireless not both at the same time. That will prevent you from setting up with an adhoc network the way you described.
You might try an inexpensive wireless router with a build in print server attached to the usb port. then add wireless USB wireless dongles to the XP computers. Be sure you make sure that the wireless dongles support XP. Also for security purposes you will want to leave the wireless router disconnected from your network.
If your fairly tecky and you don't mind playing a bit you could check your local thrift store for a used router with a print server. For printing you don't need the fastest wireless available. Just make sure it is a b/g router (not a B only one).

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.

Mac-Mini wont connect to wired ethernet

I can not get my Mac-Mini to connect to the internet via a wired ethernet cable. When I try to connect it says it is getting an IP address and then boots out and tries again. Its a never ending cycle. It does this in both OS X, and Windows. Do I have a bum network card?

Hi Steve,
Some ISPs can be fussy about the number of devices you connect to the internet.
If the Modem routes then it tends to be this network card that is in effect "registered" with the ISP.
If you have a cable modem then a Router then the router tends to be the device "registered".
If no router then that is obviously you computer's MAC address.
Some ISPs will go as far as requesting to actually type in the MAC card address and formally request to change it.
It sounds like you have here a system of monitoring that is not that "up front" and causes problems enough for people to have several computers and just swap them.
I would guess it allows one change, like you would need if you have a new computer.

Mac OS 10.5 Bonjour Unable to find printer driver for P1606dn connected via wired network.

I have been trying to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8. I connected the priner to my LAN via Ethernet cables and NetGear 8-port switch. I then successfully installed the printer driver from the supplied CD on the Mac and went to System Preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of connected printers. Hit the "+" button. The HP P106dn was listed in the table (Kind = Bonjour).
I selected this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the "Print Using" pullodwn listed the greyed out message "Please select a driver or printer model" and a spinning wheel labeled "Searching for new drivers" appeared below it. The dialog box searches for but never finds the printer driver (I waited 20 minutes with no success). I have installed other HP printers this way on this machine without any problem, e.g., HP Color Laserjet 2605dn. Why is this method not working with this printer?
I was able to connect this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my household via this LAN arrangement. Is the printer driver for Intel-only Macs?
I disconnecting the printer from the LAN and connected it directly to my Mac with a USB cable. Followed the same process, and I was able to connect to this printer. Successfully printed a document page. While this provides me with a work-around for the G5 Mac, I need to share this printer with the other Macs in my household.
I went to the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on the Mac, and repeated the steps for the LAN arrangement (above) to complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog. The result was the same: spinning wheel searching for a printer driver that it cannot find.
I do not know what else to do, or why this installation will not work. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could offer an explanation for this or some suggestions as to what else can be done?

I apologize for the delay in responding to you. I was on the road all day yesterday.
OK. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network. That did not work. I swapped out the cable for one that I know works. Still no change. I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router. No change. I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?
After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection?

OS X 10.4 to Windows XP via direct ethernet cable connection

Hi,
I'm trying to help my friend connect her new MacBook to her old Windows PC notebook so she can transfer her music and other files. They are connected via a single Ethernet cable. (I spent an hour searching the Web and for the life of me I can't find a clear, easy-to-follow procedure for how to do this; even the Switch 101 website only provides half of the information needed).
anyway... Her PC's IP address is 169.254.x.x (self-assigned I guess) but her Mac can still connect to it. Upon entering in her credentials she sees error code -36. I asked her to follow http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301580 but it still does not work; she still gets an error.
Ideas? Any help or links to make this easier would be greatly appreciated. If at all possible, I don't want her to take it to an Apple Genius, I don't want her to go and buy/download extra freeware/software/hardware to do the job - unless I'm missing something big here, OS X and Windows XP should be able to do the job with a minimum of fuss, and if the instructions are straightforward enough I'd like to make a document showing people how to do this sort of thing.

Peter,
Based on your post I see that you are trying to transfer files through and ethernet cable. I don't think this is possible, correct me if I'm wrong, with just a plain ethernet cable.
Try using a Cross-Over cable. It's easy to find. You can find it at your local electrionics store, such as Best Buy or CompUSA.
There is also another method besides tranferring with an ethernet cable. You can use CD's and DVD's, (DVDs work a lot better for space). This will take a lot longer with a bit more effort and time. But, you can get the job done.
Good luck.
