Can wicd simultaneously connect two networks via different interfaces

hi, recently, I installed wicd. I am tired for figuring out of NetworkManager stuff.
however, for same reasons, I could not configure my ethernet and wireless interface at the same time.
for example, in my case, I have enp0s25 and wlp3s0 interfaces. however, wicd only allow me to connect one at a time. especially when I connected enp0s25 via wicd-curses, it actually disabled the wlp3s0. (the interface is set down by wicd, but I still can see the available network, very strange)
is there a way to deal with that ?

Wicd is kinda strange, it usually picks the wired over the wireless (and there is an option for that).  You can get it, by allowing wicd to connect wirelessly, and manually dhclient the eth0 interface.  Netctl can help in this allowing both interfaces to go without manual intervention.  The only difference is you won't be roaming like you can in wicd.

  • Directly Connect Two Macs Via Ethernet

    This has certainly been answered before, but a quick search didn't give any results. So here goes ...
    I wanted to connect two macs via ethernet. I use the mount tool in finder "connect to server" all the time with machines on a network, but I've never done with with two macs directly connected.
    So I connect them and my first instinct is to check the IP address of the machine I want to connect to. I then go to "connect to server" and type it in using the AFP protocol, but it doesn't work.
    At this point I'm stumped and not sure what to do. I don't use the "network" item in the finder sidebar very often but I clicked it, and sure enough the machine I want to connect to was listed, and I was able to connect / mount.
    So here's my question ... if I wanted to use "connect to server" tool, or even mount it manually with the mount command, how would I do it? Is it using AFP still to mount and the IP address is just bogus? Something else going on?

    But I'm telling you I tried using the IP address ... here, let me try again ...
    I find this address on the machine I want to connect to: 169.254.177.122
    I put this into "connect to server" on the machine I want to connect from: afp://169.254.177.122
    It spins for a while, then says it can't connect. Strangely, if I do a cmd-i on the machine in the network sidebar, it says: nfs:// automount ... into /Network
    So are you sure putting in the ip should work? If so what am I doing wrong?
    Okay ... plot thickens. When I cmd-i after I connect, it indeed says it is an AFP connect, but it gives the "local" name, say powerbook.local. But then, if I "ping powerbook.local" if gives me back the same IP I tried in connect to server. Huh?
    mbp:~ rjcarr$ ping powerbook.local
    PING powerbook.local (169.254.177.122): 56 data bytes
    Weird. It isn't that big of a deal ... I just like to know what is going on.

  • Is it possible to connect two Macs via USB ?

    Is it possible to connect two Macs via USB just like Firewire back in the day via Target mode or is there something similar? I am asking this because about 2-3 years ago I would normally image Macs via Target Mode. I used to have a regular Macbook running 10.6 along with a customized-ready-to-go .dmg image saved on the Desktop. Whenever I needed to put that image into any Mac I would simply connect the two Macs via Firewire, I would then press "T" at startup which will get me in Target Mode, I would then see the disk appear in the desktop of the Mac I had the image. I would then copy that image to the T mode macbook using super duper. Can this still be done through USB with new models and if so will I also need to press T at startup ?

    No, USB connection does not qualify for this, only firewire and thunderbolt, as I read (but cannot test, for the time being I have only one such mac around).
    This is why the short series of alu MBs (2008) are not qualified for target mode either.
    p.s. What ‘new models’ do you refer to?

  • Connect two machines via WiFi

    I've forgotten the magic routine to connect two machines via WiFi.
    Have Sharing turned on, multiple tries with Go > Network. Nothing.
    Cannot see Machine A from Machine B. Clearly I've forgotten how to walk & chew gum at the same time.

    Is there a Router involved?
    If not then under the Airport icon in the Menu Bar, choose "Create Network, that is for Computer to Computer, then shortly there after, the other one will "see" it.
    In System Preferences>Sharing, turn both Personal File Sharing &Personal Web Sharing to advertise the fact.

  • "You have connected two terminals of different types" Index Array won't work

    So I have a 3D array finally. Now I want to index that array and display the contents of a certain element on a new array. When I index a 2D array, this method works just fine. But when I change it to 3D array, Labview gives me the following error:
    You have connected two terminals of different types. The type of the source is string. The of the sink is 1D array of string.
    So I'm assuming the 1D arry it speaks of is referring to the indicator array that the index should spout out the contents of the element I'm looking for. And the source string is the 3D array. I've tried changing the dimensions of the 1D array to match that of the source 3D array, but nothing is working yet. I've attached a pic of the problem below.

    This might be another problem of understanding what the data represents.  You are telling the code that you have a 3D array, and you want to pull out a single element, a scalar string, by specifying the row, the column and the page to find the data.  But then you are trying to display this single item into a indicator that is a 1D array.  You are trying to display a single cell of data, into a column of data.  Either replace your 1D array with a scalar string, or when you index your array specify a row or column to display.

  • Can't connect to network via iPad

    I recently bought an Actiontec E2500 router/modem. My MAC Book Pro connected easily to the interent
    via Verizon DSL and the modem/router works well. Unfortunately when I try to choose a wi - fi network for my iPad
    (CB36N) it says "unable to connect to network" because the temporary admin password on the back of the modem does not work.
    A password from Verizon also does not work. Actiontec said go to 192.168.0.1 to find a password but although there are two sites related to this product, they do not mention the word "password". Both companies don't seem to even understand my question!! The Actiontec guy said maybe my iPad isn't working! (it's brand new and works fine) Verizon has offered to send a tech to my house (I would have to take off work and wait from 8AM to 7PM) which seems ridiculous and a waste of time. I'm sure this can be resolved in a better way. Any thoughts? The word "Admin" does not work either. Thanks in advance.

    Hi Jenroses,
    I would suggest backing up your iPad and updating it to the latest iOS, which is iOS 6.1.4

  • 10.4.5 - mac mini can't connect to network via airport since upgrade

    I've been experiencing problems since upgrading to 10.4.3. Mainly, I've noticed that I can't easily connect to our wireless home network all the time. The pattern has been that I start by shutting down my computer completely. When I start up it again, it can't connect to the network. I have to create a new profile and then it will connect. That was buggy, but at least I found a hack. However, since upgrading to 10.4.5, I can't connect to our home network at all. The Internet Connect application says that I am connected to the base station, however I can't connect to the outside world via a shell, browser or email application. Our network is secured with a WEP and the base station is a D-Link. I searched the forums for some tips, but didn't find anything. Pointers appreciated.

    Be very careful about the sequence you do it. You must make sure that the airport connection is turned off (i.e. the airport menu icon looks more like a profiled eyeball without the iris than a series of lines like the towers of hanoi). Then create a new location in the Airport network preference, and make sure that these settings are there under Options
    1. Keep looking for recent networks
    2. Automatically add new networks to the preferred network list.
    3. Change the status of Enable interference robustness.
    And by default, join preferred networks in the Airport location.

  • Connecting two networks.

    I am trying to connect two similar networks. I am not sure if this is possible or not.
    My network has cable internet access through a Airport Extreme wireless router to a hub that connects to all of my devices (iMac, Xbox 360, TiVo, Win XP computer). The other network also connects to the internet through a cable modem and has a linksys wireless router. My iMac connects to my network through ethernet and the second network wirelessly.
    I can connect to either network separately. I would like to be able to transfer files and print to the other network while simultaneously logged on my network and accessing the internet through my modem.
    Is this possible? If so what do I need to do?
    Thanks,
    Scott
    iMac 24" 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM and 17" G4 Powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    It is possible, but what would really be the point? For the possibility, you could simply have one network connected via ethernet cord, and the other network be strictly wireless. The only reason to even have two networks would be bandwidth issues, which you would want to have your non-computer (but internet reliant) on one network, and then have your computers connect through the other network. Transferring files between two networks at the same time wouldn't be the most efficiant method, simply having both computers connected via ethernet would be by far more effeciant.
    Airport Extreme/Express is limited to 54 MBps realitivly. You would get much better speeds via ethernet. If your trying to get more data faster by transferring via ehternet and airport, then you may want to keep in mind that speeds are also limited to hard drive speeds.
    In short, its pretty over-kill.

  • Apple TV can no longer connect to network after upgrade.

    I had heard that lots of people were affected with this problem with the software upgrade before this one so I deliberately waiting until this one came out before taking a chance. I was wrong.
    After updating to 4.4. (3140) I can no longer connect to my network. It says there was a problem and gave the error messaged number: (5) in brackets.
    I've had nothing but problems with both Apple TV's that I have owned, version 1 and this new version 2. I've a good signal from my router and I've used three different ones over the time I've had the two apple tvs.
    Anyone got any ideas.
    I can't connect the apple tv directly because they are too far apart in the house. I can only connect by wifi.
    There is nothing wrong with my wifi because I'm connected to it fine though my imac, iphone and ipad and laptop, (not all at the same time)

    Ok, here's a solution, courtesy of our friends at AppleCare.  
    Unplug the router for 90 seconds.
    I was running ATV2 with a Time Capsule.   The TC thought the ATV was still connected using its former IP address so wouldn't let it reconnect with a new one.
    Hope this works for anyone else with same problem.

  • MBP no longer connects to network via Airport

    today my MBP will not connect to my network via airport. Several other apple devices connect to the network no problem. MBP connects to the network OK via ethernet cable.
    When I try to connect it just keep prompting for network password  & user password, generates spinning wheel but then returns invalid password dialogue box. Tried several times and no success - occasionally there is an additional dialogue box " Apple80211agent......."
    Pass word is fine as 5 other devices connect without any issue. What is going on?
    Incidentally, just thought to create another Airport connection and hey presto it connects.
    Still confused.

    Your local LAN runs through your router.
    All your ethernet  ports, and your modem and router, should be behind and filtered from excess current. That means a UPS generally. And run input line thru UPS (coax) first, then run RJ45 back through UPS again (there can still be excess surge or current on the line).
    Modems and routers can be compromised by surge outage or storm. So can ethernet  ports.
    You have two ethernet ports and you tried with both also.
    What you did not do that I would have added is SMC Reset / Reset NVRAM/PRAM.
    This is what I have had for the last year, very nice and stronger  signals thruout the house.

  • I recently installed itunes update and can no longer connect to network nor internet

    I recently (sept 2013) installed itunes update and can no longer connect to a network nor internet wired /wireless. I know it is not the gateway as other devices work. Please help. I am not very knowledgable so exact instructions will be most helpful.

    Try connecting your computer/laptop directly to the base station with an ethernet cable to one of the external ports and install your network settings. If it finds it there, it will find it after you've reloaded your network info to the base via the Apple Utility. Hopefully when you disconnect afterward, all will be fine. Be sure not to select "closed" network although Macs will login with no prolem, PC's have trouble doing so even with the network data stored in the internet settings.
    Good luck!

  • Connecting two networks with wireless bridges

    Hello all,
    We are trying to create a true CAN. We have 2 sets of 2 buildings each. One set is on the 172.23.x.x network and the other set is on the 172.25.x.x network. Each set has routing in place to go out over their respective MPLS circuits (which will be removed once this project is done). Each set also has their own vtp domain each containing ~30 vlans.
    Right now, there is a wireless bridge at each set of buildings and they can reach each other fine according to the vendor. I am trying to figure out an efficient way to tie these two networks together keeping their current vlan and local topology in place.
    Site 1:
    Vlan 1: 172.23.1.x
    Wireless bridge: 172.25.1.x
    Site 2:
    Vlan 1: 172.25.1.x
    Wireless bridge: 172.25.1.x
    Any help is appreciated. The idea is that all traffic from site two will now traverse the wireless bridge and use all resources and routing available at site 1.

    OK wel now the only solution left for you re-designing the IP addressing or if you want same  ip address either increase the scope or range of ip address per vlan or use DHCP server to provid Half the address to both sides. but the interface connecting interface must be a Layer 3 or Layer 2 ports.The only concern should be DHCP server vlan over lapping can be manage by Configuing VTP (Client/Server) .
              (Switch) ====wireless------------------wireless====(switch)
             Trunk (Layer2 port)                                                 Trunk (Layer2 port)
    and for vlan just if one dhcp server  nothign to worry  and incase of multiple server just load balance it will also provide the reduncency in you network.
    other option is simple using L3 approach and change the ip address only for resourches you want other people to access.

  • Connecting two networks with two internet connections

    Hi All
    The situation is this. Two firms situated next door to each other and linked by their businesses and by their family ties, wish to connect their two networks together. They both have internet connections. The reason is for security, in the event of one internet going down they can use the other one.
    As I see it, we could use a wireless bridge/repeater to connect the two ethernets together, turn off DHCP in both networks, and manually configure the IP addresses on one network to say 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.100 and set the gateway as the router address in that network, again manually allocated. Then on the other network set the scope to 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.200 with the router on that network set in this range.
    In the event of failure of one internet connection, it would just require the gateway to be changed for those pcs to access the router on the other network.  I know of a little program which would do that automatically.
    Would this work? If so which Linksys equipment would I need to bridge the two networks. I know some equipment will do the bridging and allow wireless clients to connect, so that would be useful, I know it slows it down by half, but this might be acceptable.
    Will there be other problems rearing their ugly heads which I haven't considered.
    The networks are not large, so manual IP configuration is not a problem.
    Thanks

    I presume both networks are using wireless connections.  If you can see your neighbour's network on your computer and vice versa, all you need is the passphrase to connect.  You may have to disable filter mac address in your router.
