Can't recognize airport via lan and wan cables??

Trying to add airport extreme to present set up of G4 desktop that presently is hooked up to an external high speed modem.
Want to hard wire to desktop and use airport extreme for laptop. I'm not simple but do not know much about setting up wireless.
Here is my presnet set up.
High speed modem to airport extreme via wan cable.
Airpirt extreme to g4 mac via lan cable.
Computer won't recognize airport. can't use setup utility, can't get to internet.
Trying to locate pppoe message and then mothing.
Please...any suggestions for someone not very wireless savy
power mac g4 dual 450 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

This has been very helpful.
I used airport setup asst. for windows and now have configured a secure wireless connection for my dell (dude). I used PPPoe since my internet provider uses it. Can't wait until Feb when I will be getting my power book.
But I have the problem that the G4 dual 450 desktop will not recognize the aebs when i have connected to it via the lan port. I want to be able to configure it this way so I don't have to put a card in it. Wired to desktop, wireless to laptop.
Also, it looks like the desktop is only compatible with airport and not airport express. Not sure where could find a card.
You have been very helpful through this so thank you very much.
Do you have any last advice?

Lan and Wan port on Airport express

Hi guys I am wondering if you could help me out with my airport express.
I recently bought an airport express and have it set up as the following:
Router--->ethernet cable in to the Wan of Airport express--->ethernet from Airport Express Lan to computer
This is so that I have hardwired internet to my gaming computer and wifi in my room for all my devices. The problem is, however, next year I will not be in a situation that allows me the same setup. I will be too far away to run an ethernet cable from the router to the airport express. So I have decided I shall use it to join the network wirelessly and relay internet through both the Wan and Lan port (think this is called bridge mode?). I was also intending on connecting an ethernet hub to one of the ports so that I can connect multiple devices, smart tv, macbook, ps3 etc. But having one of the ports exclusively to my gaming pc.
My question is, with both Lan and Wan ports relaying internet to multiple devices, would I see a drop in performance, in particular in regard to my compter? Or is the airport express able to join both the 2.4GHz or 5GHz and relay each connection to a specific lan port?
Unfortunately I am not in a position to test this yet, lacking a 5GHz connection in my halls, so I would appreciate if anyone could help shed some light.
Thank you

is the main router also an apple product? if so, then yes you can extend wirelessly, but if the main router is an apple product, why are you bothering to extend wirelessly at all when the main router's signals should be strong enough?
if the main router is NOT an apple router, then you wil NOT be able to extend it wirelessly period.
in my experience, there are very FEW places you NEED to extend a network wirelessly, and i always recommend against it since there is a big performance decrease.
In the case of a wirelessly extended network, throughput may be reduced to less than 60 percent of that of a single device.

Why would i connect a external hardrive to the airport extreme and what is the difference between LAN and WAN gigabit ethernet?

Hey just wanted to know what is the reason i would connect my external hardrive to the extreme and what is the difference between LAN and WAN ehternet. I know one is local and other is wide but can someone explain in simpler terms.

Connecting a hard drive to the Airport Extreme makes it available to be shared across all the computers on your network.
WAN (Wide Area Network) is your connection to the internet
LAN (Local Area Network) is your internal (or local) ethernet connections (computers, printers, etc...)

Which Monitoring Tool is best to monitor LAN and WAN

Hi,
CAN ANYONE TELL ME Which Monitoring Tool is best to monitor LAN and WAN.
Waiting for immediate response.
Thanks
Irshad

To start with HP open, this is SNMP-based as well. As it is around for quite a while and delivers support for many vendors, it has become sort of an industry standard. Many other vendors deliver add-ons (even CiscoWorks) to support their products via HP open. That functionality however comes with a price. If you have plenty of money an a large network to manage, HP open might be your best choice.
Cisco Works and other -start-with-C- products are typically used to manage Cisco devices. If you have a fair share of non-cisco boxes around you will find that you cannot see or do everything with them that you might want.
One special thing about CiscoWorks is that it lacks a grapical real-time overview of the network. In my opinion this is a weakness in the product. On the other hand, it has many nice features to manage all kinds of Cisco devices.
My ideal solution is to use both a generic SNMP manager, SNMPc in my case, and CiscoWorks 2000. With SNMPc I can quickly see network node status and do some bandwidth management (baselining). CW2k serves mainly to execute changes (NetConfig) and as a syslogger. It is also used to perform IOS upgrades and to store config files.
I guess this could be done with HP open as well, but our money does not reach far enough to pay for both. SNMPc costs a lot less, both in purchase and in maintenance.
Hope this clarifies things a bit.

Leo

Public LAN and WAN Addresses

Hi Guys
I am slightly confused about public lan and wan ips. We have a circuit that was installed a few months ago as a backup failover but we now want to start using it so I phoned my ISP for the public range for that circuit.
Now our internal IP subnet is a 192.168.150.xx
I was expecting the ISP to provide me with one public range maybe a /30 so I can assign an public ip to my routers external interface and PAT to that address.
The ISP instead gave me a public LAN and WAN address range both of which are public IPs. Can anyone explain what these are where in my type of network will they fit it
Thanks

As Peter says it is worth talking to your ISP but LAN addresses are usually simply another public IP block you are free to use however you want.
You don't have to use them and you certainly don't need to allocate them to physical devices on your LAN. The ISP doesn't really care how you use them either, they will simpy route traffic to those address to your edge device (see below for more details).
They can be useful if you host a lot of servers/applications accessible from the internet for example.
It does depend on the devices you have ie.
LAN -> firewall -> ISP router
in the above you use the WAN addressing for the link between the firewall and the ISP router and then you can just use the LAN address range for NAT on your firewall. Non of the LAN IPs need to be actually assigned to any interface
LAN -> firewall -> router -> ISP router
here you have your own router on the outside of the firewall. The WAN addressing would be used between your router and the ISP router. The LAN addressing would be used for the firewall to your router connection and any spare IPs can be used for NAT (usually done on the firewall).
Note that usually the LAN addressing is a larger subnet than the WAN addressing and as you say the WAN addressing is usually a /30. So the ISP uses one of the IPs from the WAN range and you use the other.
If you have been allocated LAN addresses then the ISP will route traffic to these addresses to the WAN IP you have used so make sure you use the WAN IP on either -
a) in the first example above the outside interface of your firewall
or
b) in the second example above the outside interface of your router, the one connecting to the ISP router.
Hope that makes sense.

Data package size-LAN and WAN

HI Experts,
Could anybody give explanation/Document for the below query?
When transfering R/3 to BW.How the data pacakage size is determined.?Would the size of data packets be different over LAN and WAN? Why?
Thanks
Pradeep

In transaction SBIW -> General Settings -> Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer (in the OLTP System), you can see and edit the default values for the source system.
If you display the infopackage in the BW system and click on the menu option Scheduler -> DataS. Default Data Transfer, you will be able to edit the settings for the infopackage and also see what's the default configuration for the source system.
You may also consult the following SAP Notes for more information (including exceptions):
[417307 - Extractor package size: Collective note for applications.|https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/sap/support/notes/417307]
[409641 - Examples of packet size dependency on ROIDOCPRMS.|https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/sap/support/notes/409641]
I don't see what difference it could have over LAN or WAN, though...

Load balance on routers LAN and WAN

Hi ;
I have a setup where i need to implement load balance on 2 routers in both sides ,LAN and WAN , and there is ASA in the LAN side , my question is that when do load blance in LAN side using GLBP how the 2 ASA's will act on this because they will have only 1 default gateway IP address .
Thanks

Not Harbi
Not entirely sure i understand the question but i'll try to answer based on a few assumptions.
It sounds like you have a pair of ASA devices on the LAN side. Assuming they are in active / failover then they will appear as one IP address to the routers - a VRRP address. When the ASA arps out for the default gateway address they will get one of the virtual mac addresses back from the AVG.
They will send traffic to that mac address ie. they won't load balance.
The load balancing aspect comes in when another host on the LAN then arps out for the default gateway and the AVG assigns it a different virtual mac address tied to a different router. But as the ASA pair always appear as one host entity they will always be tied to one of the routers at any one time.
Hope this covers what you were asking

Can I use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when connected to an AirPort via LAN cable?

Well as stated above I'm wondering if I can use AirPlay from my PC to my AppleTV when my PC is connected via LAN cable to an AirPort.
I'm asking because usually your PC has to be on the same Wifi as your other Apple device, so AirPlay can function, and id love the ability to Stream via AirPlay but still be connected to the internet via LAN cable.
Thanks in advance for any help!

AirPlay is not restricted to wireless only. It can also work over Ethernet. Basically as long as there is a connection (on the same subnet) between the iTunes host and the AirPlay "speaker" streaming should take place without any issues.
FWIW, My Win8 PC is connected to a Time Capsule via Ethernet. In turn my Apple TV is connected to the TC's wireless network. I have no trouble streaming from the PC to the Apple TV in this configuration.

Just purchased an Airport Extreme , what´s the difference between LAN and WAN

Check the Setup Guide for the AirPort Extreme to confirm that the WAN port accepts the signal from your modem or from another router on your network.

Macbook can't recognize Airport Express!

Hi guys,
I have a Macbook Pro Retina 15" Early 2013 running Mavericks 10.9.1. My router is the Apple Airport Express A1088 and what is happening is: I did the setup of the Airport Express last year and everything was working fine. I had to download the Airport Utility 5.6 and then I configured the Airport Express. Alright. But today, my wifi connection was not showing in my Macbook Pro, but it was working fine in my iPhone 5. I tried to turn the Airport Express off, and the same for my Macbook Airport, but it doesn't work. So I decided to do a hard reset and also a reset to factory settings. What is happening is my Macbook Pro showed only one time after doing the reset and I did all the steps of the setup using the Airport Utility 5.6. But when the airport express restarted, it was working only with my iPhone 5, not with my Macbook. So I tried to reset again to factory settings and now I can't do the setup because the Airport Express doesn't show up in my Macbook as a new base station or anything else. With my iPhone 5 I can see the Airport Express as a new base station, however I am not able to setup it because it is a old version (A1088).
I don't know why my Macbook Pro is not showing up the Airport Express. I have already tried to make it work with Windows (via virtual machine) and using Airport Utility 5.6. I also know that THIS IS NOT A HARDWARE PROBLEM! Any other network I am able to join with my Macbook.
I also looked in this forum about other users that had the same problem, but almost all of them started working after a hard reset or reset to factory settings, which is not working for me.
I just wish my Macbook to recognize the Airport Express, until yesterday everything was working fine. And today it is only working with my iPhone, but I am not able to set up it with the iPhone.
Help!
Thanks!

Hey Luis!
I am sorry - i only searched for Apple Airportutility and Mavericks to post the Link :-)
Did you already tried
- to delete your Wifi from the list of known Wifi's from your MacBook/System Prefs/Network/AirPort/Option/
- or maybe delete and reinstall the AirPort Service from your MacBook/System Prefs/Network
Cheers

5596UP killing Vcenter "heartbeat" packets on Lan and WAN

Just moved my entire off a 6509 to the dual 5596up's running version 6.0(2)N2(5) with UCS.
Now, Vcenter5 (physical machine not vm) is having problems with its "heartbeat" to tcp/udp 902.
It isn't a routing issue, not a "arp issue", not a issue with a lower switch having " ip device tracking " enabled. Not an access-list block, not a firewall block.
Every minute we can watch Vcenter lose contact with local VM's that are on the UCS which is connected by Four 10-Gig trunks.
All other protocols and devices have no issues. Its just Vcenter on the local lan and going out across our WAN.
Had zero issues with this when I had all my core routing running on a 6509 running 12.2sx code.
Nothing changed on the Vcenter side or on our UCS. The routing was just moved to the Nexus 5596UP's.

VM monitoring are the TCP/UDP probes that Vcenter sends out to the VM servers ever 20 seconds.
This lets vcenter know that the VM servers are working correctly. Without a VM heartbeat, Vcenter thinks the Esx server is down, so you can't manage any of the VM hosts on that ESX server or migrate over VM's from one ESX server to another.

Windows XP computers can't see Airport via Ethernet connection

I have a iMac G5 hooked up to a new Airport Extreme base station.
I have two other old Apples with which Airport Express Setup 4.0 doesn't work.
Therefore, I am trying to set up my two Airports using a Windows computer so that they can be used as remote music devices.
Neither of them are seen by the Windows computer unless I completely reset them. And even then, it is intermittent.
When starting Airport, I get the following message:
"Windows is not allowed to manage wireless networks on this computer." However, in Network Connections, properties of my wireless connection state Windows does manage them.
Following an Aiport reset, Airport Express Assistant asks me for the password for the network, "name not available," I enter "public," but then get the following error following the message, "Reading from Base Station..."
Cannot send Identify command to the base station. Bad Param Error (-4).
Attempting to access the Airport using Airport Admin Utility, I see the Airport, but when making modifications to the password and join an existing Airport network, I click UPDATE, the Airport restarts, only to be invisible again to both Airport Express Setup and Airport Admin Utility.
The same problem is happening on two different XP computers and with two different Airports.
Help!

Borrowed a Powerbook and used Airport Admin Utility, which resolved all problems with Airport.

G5 can't recognize Airport Extreme

Hope someone can help. I tried to install an Airport Express to my existing Airport Extreme network so I could play music through powered speakers in another part of my home. I screwed up the installation, and while trying to backtrack, my Airport Extreme network was deleted inadvertently. Now there is no network listed at Internet Connect. Neither Airport Set-up or Airport Admin Utility sees the base station so I can set up a new network and start over. When using Airport Set-up, I receive the error message: No new Airport networks were found." Any ideas will be appreciated. Nothing seems able to "see" the base station. I've reset the AP Extreme with the reset button and by unplugging its power - neither help. All cables are in place, the unit is in the same room.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.1) Airport Extreme

Determned that the base station had "died" and replaced it with a new one; everything is working fine now. Not sure what caused the demise of the base station though.
