Cannot connect to my network via ethernet, others can

i have a WRT54G with two wireless that can see each other, and also i have a desktop that can see them too, but when i try to join i can see any one and noone can see me, but i can get on to the internet...o and when i click view workgroup computers it just beeps and does nothing

I have a feeling that if you disable your firewall on your pc, plug into one of the ports and then reset up your home network that it probably still will not work but lets get the wireless out of the way first.
the other side is maybe, just maybe the other pcs are blocking you for whatever reason but im still leaning toward your one pc as the issue.

Cannot Connect MacBookPro to Router via Ethernet

I just bought a new modem/router and attempted to set it up using this MBP running on Mavericks via ethernet cable. Each attempt when I typed the modem address into Safari, the blue line stuck and the MBP could not connect. To avoid any conflicts, I turned wifi off.
I then tried my wife's MBP which runs OS 10.7.5 and this worked with no problems at all. I then went back to using my Mavericks, but it would still not connect.
Can anybody offer a solution?
Thanks,

On the Mavericks Mac you could try deleting the existing Ethernet connection in System Preferences>Network using the '-' button. Save the changes and then create a new Ethernet connection using the '+' sign.

Cannot connect to iMac (OS9) via ethernet while connected to internet

I readily connect my eMac (OS X) to my iMac (OS 9) via ethernet using TCP/IP except when my internal modem is connected to the internet. In Network Port Configurations, I have ethernet at the top of the list, followed by fire wire and then the modem. It appears to search the internet.
Any suggestions?

On the iMac, the AppleTalk Control Panel (CP) is set to connect via ethernet. The TCP/IP CP is set to connect via Ethernet, Configure manually with an IP and Router address of 192.168.168.1 and a Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 The IP address shows up in the File Sharing CP which is set to use TCP/IP.
On the eMac, PPPoE is disabled and Appletalk is active. Connecting from eMac to iMac works fine when the eMac's internal modem is idle but not when it is connected to the internet.
When I try to connect from iMac to eMac while eMac is connected to internet, I see the eMac in the Chooser and can attempt to connect as either registered user or guest but then immediately get "The connection to this server has been unexpectedly broken". If the eMac is not connected to the internet, I can connect as a guest and see items in my Public folder.
I tried creating a new Location and immediately lost my internet connection.
The IP address of the iMac never changes. I do enter the IP address of the eMac's ethernet into the chooser dialogue on the iMac when attempting to connect from iMac.

Macbook Pro cannot connect to the internet even when others can

Hi! Please help me. We have an internet WIFI connection in our office but only my MacBook Pro cannot connect even when I entered the correct password. My Iphone and Ipad work just fine. It says "connection timeout" but all other laptops can connect. I tried network diagnostics already and it always say "connection timeout". I dont know what to do anymore.

Yes, and when I open the Network Utility it shows a working IP address, and a 54Mb/s speed from the wireless router. It even shows the shared computers from my roomates. But when I try to access the internet it does not load anything on Safari or Firefox ( or any other internet application for that matter). It is completely unconnected. YET, As soon as I activate the AirPort card on the top right where I have my signal strength, it shows on the Network Utility information that there are 'packages' being sent and received, and I have NO programs open what so ever, I have closed everything except finder and network utility... Does this mean I am being hacked, or have some sort of Trojan or something in my computer? I ran an antivirus that my school provided, called Virex by McAfee, it came out clean except it says it cannot read one file.
I tried repairing my disk, and that did not work either. I did the Ram reset like you suggested, but that also did not work. I doubt it being a hardware error. I am going to try to connect it to an ethernet cable to see if that will work. Then I will let you know what happens with that, but that would still not be a solution since I need it wireless, cause the router is in another part of the house.
Thank you for your help, and I hope we can get this sorted out.

Connecting iMac to Network via Ethernet Cable and Airport Express

I've tried reading through the various posts to solve this and haven't had any luck. Any help is deeply appreciated.
I have an Airport Extreme as my main 'base' for our wireless network. I purchased an Airport Express today with the notion of using it to extend my network in the following way: I want to connect an iMac and a printer to the Express (using Ethernet and USB cables respectively) and have the Express serve as a remote for the Extreme base. I have found a number of websites saying this is possible, but none explain how to. I tried the WDS option, which failed to work. I later saw posts here saying that was not the optimal scenario. I'm afraid the 5Ghz/2.4Ghz settings combined with Airport ID addresses has pushed me past my competency!
Thanks in advance for your help and a festive St. Patrick's Day!

Temporarily, power down the AirPort Express and concentrate on the AirPort Extreme to make sure that it is functioning correctly, can get an Internet connection, etc.
A complete power cycle of the network is often useful when you have been making changes. Power everything off, order is not important.
Wait a moment, (or wait 5-10 minutes if you have cable modem), then power up the modem first and let it run a moment by itself. Then power up the AirPort Extreme the same way.
Check your settings using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
If the Wireless Mode setting is "Create a wireless network", make sure there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Note the exact setting for Security that is being used
Update to save any changes
Post back when the AirPort Extreme is functioning correctly as above and we'll tackle the AirPort Express

Cannot connect devices using Extend Network via Ethernet

Hi
I have been going nuts with this issue, and cannot seem to find any solutions. PLEASE HELP!
I have an Airport Extreme (pretty new and all up to date) connected to my modem. Everything works perfectly. The wi-fi is great, all devices can connect without any issues so nothing is wrong here. The Airport extreme is dishing out the IP addresses etc. The Airport extreme is in the lounge.
I purchased a new airport express yesterday. I put it in my study, far away from the lounge. I connected the airport extreme to the airport express using an ethernet cable. I plugged it in, and set it up to extend the wireless network via ethernet. I.e. it is set up in bridged mode and set up to 'create a wireless network' with identical name password etc. Everything is good. It reboots and the light is green. in the Airport utility everything shows up correctly.
Here is the problem., The second that any device (lets say iphone) moves from the lounge to the study, and tries to 'jump' to the stronger network provided by the express, it kills the ENTIRE network. The following happens:
1. The iphone loses wi-fi signal immediately. If I go into wi-fi settings, it sees my netwrok with FULL strength, but just remains in the 'spinning ball' state trying to connect. Seems to me that the express is unable to hand out an IP address or something.
2. If i open the airport utility on my Imac (in the study), the airport extreme has a yellow warning light and cannot be found via ethernet OR wi-fi. (The Imac is also Hard Wired from the Airport extreme in the lounge).
THe whole system requires a re-boot in order to work again.
If I re-boot the system, and leave a device near the airport express, it immediately receives signal, gets an IP address, and has an internet connection. Going back to the lounge causes no issues, it doesnt drop signal and still connects to the internet via the extreme. But as soon as I walk back into the study again - BOOM, everything drops.
I only purchased the new express because i was having EXACTLY the same issue with an older Airport extreme. No matter what I do, it just wont work via ethernet. I have tried all manner of settings. The ONLY setting that seems to work is to extend the wi-fi network. However, the rooms are too far apart, and this will require a third station in the middle, which i want to avoid (by the time the wifi network is extended across 3 decvices it is too slow).

Can I use airport express to make my pc pick up the wifi by plugging the pc into the ethernet socket?
Yes. But, it is the AirPort Express that would "pick up the wifi". Then, you would connect an Ethernet cable from the AirPort Express to the PC.
Configure the AirPort Express to "Join a wireless network" and click the option to "Enable Ethernet clients" during the setup to activate the Ethernet port on the device.
I would also plug a printer (currently connected to the pc) into the usb, so it can become a shared printer.
There is a good chance that your printer will work connected this way, but you won't really know until you try.

I CANNOT PRINT FROM MY IPHONE 4 TO MY BROTHER 8890DW PRINTER WHICH IS CONNECTED TO MY TIME CAPSULE/NETWORK VIA ETHERNET CABLE???

Why can’t I print from my iPhone 4 to my brother 8890dw printer which is connected to my time capsule/network via ethernet cable??? My iPhone does not even locate my printer,even though I have no problem printing from my Mac to the same printer.

Typing in all caps indicates shouting, is considered rude and is difficult to read. Many simply do not read such posts.
You would need an airprint enabled printer or an app that proides printing function.
iOS: AirPrint 101

TS1398 I did everything you are recommend to do and still cannot connect to the network. "Unable to join network" shows up even that is a university network working for other users - students and staff. I am very unhappy with my new iphone 5 :(

I did everything recommended on apple store support site and still cannot connect to the network with my new iphone 5 but my co-workers and students (I work for the university) can keep connectivity all the time. I am very unhappy with my new phone

Be patient, Apple is coming out with a update soon, its been reported that they have sent the update to the carriers to test, which means it will be soon. And is suppose to address this issue.

Macbook Pro suddenly will not connect to the internet via ethernet cable.

I know this is a long shot... but I figured I would give it a try.
My macbook pro suddenly does not connect to the internet via ethernet cable. Please bear with me, as I am not very tech-savvy - I will try my best to describe the symptoms!
I connect to the internet via ethernet (we don't have wifi). It was working before I went to work, and when I came home I suddenly couldn't get anything to work (I know everyone says this, but I truly didn't mess with anything). Internet browsers just think for awhile and then turn up the 'You are not connected to the internet' error.
I went into my network preferences and curiously, the 'Ethernet' shows a green dot and says 'connected'. However it says 'Authentication server is not responding' underneath the last part that says '802.1X: WPA: eduroam' (I think that is my user profile).
When I go into my 'security' settings I can see that my firewall is off, so that shouldn't be causing any problems.
I've tried restarting the router and computer itself many times. Diagnostics just gets to a certain point and reports back 'Network Diagnostics cannot fix the current networking problems.' I've also tried switching to a different ethernet cable, and I tried both cables out on a PC laptop and it connected without issue. Additionally, I brought my macbook along to a friend's house and it connected to his wifi just fine, so the problem appears to just be with ethernet connections.
I know it's hard to troubleshoot this kind of thing without being there and having a look at the computer yourself, but any tips wouild be greatly appreciated.

As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

PowerMac G4 will not connect to the internet via ethernet

I am normally a very mac savy person, but I cannot get this to work...
I have an Airport Express connected to speakers, a USB printer and an ethernet hub, which is connected to a cable modem and also a PowerMac G4 via ethernet. There is also a wireless iMac thrown into the mix. All hardware has up-to-date software.
The wireless iMac gets online, prints and plays music wirelessly.
The wired PowerMac G4 will not connect to the internet via ethernet, it is killing me.
I have gone through all the settings and cannot figure this one out. I really appreciate all advice.
Thanks,

Hi pradagirl,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Leaving the other peripherals out, tell us the connection sequence from the G4 outbound.
Also, you might gain more insight at the Networking Forum

Connecting to Time Capsule via Ethernet

Hi,
I'm working on a Tiger OS and I cannot connect to my time capsule. I followed instructions in the manual, but I simply do not see Time Capsule on my desktop, and there is very little info in the manual.
I am working off of ethernet, not airport, and would prefer to used ethernet for the moment. I have it connected via LAN port to my macbook pro. There's only one ethernet port on my computer. Does anyone have any advice? I know about about Macs, but dont have much experience with network specs.
I simply need to archive data, but I cannot see Time Capsule on my desktop. Time Capsule is connected just fine to my modem, but now how do I connect to my computer? I've tried to unplug ethernet from my computer, and into the LAN port on my capsule, but to no avail.
I am absolutely clueless as to how I can use this machine at this point??
Thanks much.

Jean,
You probably don't have the Network Preferences set correctly.
Connecting The Time Capsule Via Ethernet
Connect one end of a Cat-5 Ethernet cable into one of the LAN ports of the TC (<•••>).
Connect the other end to your Macs ethernet port.
Open Network Preferences.
At the top change "Location:" to "Ethernet Connection".
In the list on the left "Ethernet" should be at the top of the list. (If not use the Action Menu (gear button) at the bottom to "Set Service Order".)
Click "Apply" in the lower right.
Give it a moment to acquire an IP address from the TC.
You should now be connected.
Now begin your initial backup.
Now that you are reconnected to the TC, you should still have internet access during the backup.
Let us know if this was helpful. Next time start a new thread, you're more likely to get helpful responses that way.
Cheers!

I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

I have a 3rd party hard drive with movies on it ,it is connected to my airport extreme. The AE is connected to my tv via ethernet cable. Can I stream my movies to the Tv ?

Not without a player..
The AE is a dumb file server.. the hard disk you plug in is an even dumber hard disk.
There are no smarts in this setup.. not even DLNA. So the TV would have to be an extremely smart one to read raw files on a network drive.. none do that I know of.
A solution is WD live TV.. it can read files from just about any file source on network and play them to the TV.
Nothing apple makes will do that.. ATV is a streamer not a media player. Everything in the Apple world is tied up with itunes. So you must have a computer running itunes to use it.
You can download a more generic player for ipad, and put that as part of the network.. but you still need ATV to display the video.

Cannot connect to SGD server via proxy

Hello
We have a recently installed SGD server running.
Some clients have been setup today with accounts to access it but none of them can get on at the moment. The error message presented is as follows:
Cannot connect to the server sgd.ourdomain.co.uk:443
The HTTP proxy "NTLM" at devicename:8080 failed to connect to the server sgd.ourdomain.co.uk:443
The following response was returned:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Clearly there's a proxy/firewall getting in the way.
Client has tried to connect from a network that is behind a different firewall and has been sucessful.
I'm hoping to get further details on the proxy/firewall setup but this could take a while.
Has anyone encountered this previously and if so, can any solutions be suggested.
Thanks,
Rob

HT4259 how to configure extended network via ethernet

how to configure an extended network via ethernet

I assume that the Express is new, so that it still has the factory default settings.
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the AirPort Express
Power up the Extreme and Express if they are not already powered up
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltities > AirPort Utility
Click on the tab in the upper left hand corner of the window that reads Other AirPort Base Stations (1)
Click on the AirPort Express xxxxxx
Wait a minute or two while AirPort Utility analyzes the network and then announces that the Express will be configured to extend your network
Enter a name for the AirPort Express and click Next
Wait 2-3 minutes while AirPort Utility configures the Express and the Express restarts
When you see the message that setup is complete, click Done
That's it.

I can't see any reason that you would need it... Just let it create it's own connection.
