Connect second computer

My daughter is home form college for the summer and would like to connect to the internet with her macbook pro laptop. How can I do this? We have a westell 6100f modem. Have talked to Verizon support and have had a hard time understanding them both technical and english.

Do you have a Ethernet Hub/Switch or a second router?
The reason I ask is because...
Unless I am mistaken, the westell 6100f has only one LAN port and USB. And you can not use both the USB and the ethernet ports at the same time.

Connecting second computer - problem

I have been trying to connect a second computer to an existing Airport Express network - and have failed miserably so far. I have the sneaking suspicion that I'm missing something obvious here - so any pointers will be greatly appreciated!
I have an Airport Express and a 1-year old Powerbook G4. The Airport is connected to a cable modem. Everything works fine.
The second computer is a 17-inch iMac G5. I bought an Airport card and installed it following the instructions. I've done this kind of stuff before so I'm pretty sure it's not an installation problem.
But my iMac won't detect the Airport station.... I've read the manual, tried to follow instructions, fiddled with the settings, moved the computer closer to the airport station, etc. etc. Nothing improved the situation.
I have also tried setting up a computer-to-computer network. The Powerbook then recognises the iMac and I can enter a password. So I presume the Airport card is working... But afterwards, I don't see any new volume under "Network" - which is where I would expect to find the iMac now. Mhm.
I apologize if this is all a bit unspecific - but I'm happy to provide further clues if pointed in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance for your help!
Sebastian

I have a similar problem
and i am not too compter literate
I have a dual g5 hooked to an extreme DI-624 wireless router with tiger.
it works perfectly wireless.
I have my secondary computer, an old emac with an old airport card (slow b version) on panther.
I just installed the airport card (b) but it does not see my network on the dual g5. it sees other networks around the area.
how do i get it to see the g5 network???

Connecting second computer only tries to authenticate connection

I have finally gotten the Cisco e1000 connection with my laptop. I would like my wife's laptop to take the main connection rather than a non-encrypted guest connection. When I use Cisco connect and try to connect my wife's laptop to the network it connects but remains in the authenticating connection status.
It eventually chooses the second connection which is guest status.
What am I doing wrong that won't allow the connection with router to finally authenticate; I have tried to run the Cisco connect "connecting a device" part but it does not seem to work.

E1000 router uses WPA2 type encryption.
this is what i think:
1. If your if your computer is running XP, check if it has SP3, if not update it
2. If your wireless adapter is Atheros, that one has issue with wireless-N routers (check other forum sites)

Connecting second computer

I have just installed BT Infinity which works well (most of the time) on my main computer. However when I try to connect by laptop (which is a Mac Book) it will work occasionally. When I enter my wireless key it comes up with a connection timeout message. I have tried connecting with an Ethernet cable but that still does not work.

Hi Curlymac,
Make sure that you have fully updated MacOSX and then Repair Permissions.
Next, I suggest that you delete any previous setups for any older HHs (or other routers that you no longer use) from the Airport Network settings (Advanced button) and then delete any old unused passwords in your Keychain. These things laying around sometimes cause this sort of issue.
Then re-boot your MacBook and try connecting again.
You could also try manually setting a specific wireless channel in the HH settings to see if co-channel interference with a neighbour's router is the source of the problem. iStumbler may help you to check for this problem.
If you continue to have problems, you could request a replacement Infinity HH.
I have set aside my Infinity HH and use an Apple Airport Extreme. Goes like a train and the dual-band wireless gives me dramatically better coverage that the HH does.
Recent MacBooks can work on either 2.4GHz or 5GHz wifi, but the sensing is automatic and cannot be changed manually.

Connecting a second computer to BThub 4 via cable

I do not think this is a BT problem but if any one has any advice it will be appreciated.
For a long time I have had 2 computers and a laptop connected through a BT hub 3. One computer (Vista) was connected by ethernet cable with the other two computers (windows XP) connected by wireless. Everything worked well.
Because hub 3 died I now have a Hub 4. However, I need to change the way my computers connect to the Hub. This means that there will be two computers connected by ethernet cable. The original computer connecterd by ethernet cable is set up just as it was prveiously and works well.
I connected the second computer with the ethernet cable supplied by BTand anticipated it would work. Unfortunately, for some reason I can't get the connection to work despite going through the wizard process of connecting from the computer both directly and via the small home network that is already establised.
One irritating thing is that, although I select a "direct cable connection" in the set up process, when trying to connect I get a screen stating dial-up failed and a retry is instigated. I am not using a modem!
I have tried re configuring things but to no avail, so getting to the end of my ideas, i wonder if anyone on the forum could give me some guidance.
Regards
David

Hi
Thanks to you guys for your help. the main problem was the absence of a net work card. This is now in place and I can make a connection tp the internet via the BT Hub. However, there is still one problem and this is as follows.
Computer A (windows XP) and computer B (Windows Vista) are connected to a small BT hub home network via ethernet cables.
On computer B (which has been successfully connected to the hub for about 2 years) clicking on network places > " view workgroup computers" shows a map which includes the BThub, it's self (B) and computer A.
If I do the same on computer A, it shows it's self but not the othe computer or the hub. Despite this it works perfectly well accessing the internet.
Because I need to transfer files via this network I need to see the othe computer(S) and open files on them, however, I have spent some time trying to establish the presence of other devices on computer A without success.
I have checked folder permissions are granted and I have tried to view the other devices with the firewall switched off but so far no success.
Suggestions gratefully received.
Regards,
David

Connecting a second computer to wireless printer

I have just installed the software for the Envy 4500 printer and everything is working fine. I would like to be able to print from a second computer but have been unable to locate instructions on how to install on a second computer. Can anyone direct me to the instructions?

Hi,
The way is similar to the first computer: put the CD software and drivers which comes with the pronter on to the second, third, .... computer and run setup.

Connecting a Computer to an HDTV

Hey everyone,
One of the most frequently asked home theater questions we see here on the forums is “How do I connect my computer to my HDTV?” Well, depending upon the model(s) you own you may have a number of options.
For starters, the most common option to connect a computer to an HDTV is to use a VGA cable. Often referred to as RGB, D-sub 15 or even generic “PC” inputs on many TVs, these connections are present on a healthy majority of desktop and laptop computers. Some laptops will even feature miniature versions of these ports that can be easily converted to a full-size VGA connection through the use of a special adapter.
The second option, connecting the two using component cables, is primarily used by consumers that own an older HDTV. Most often found in the home theater section of a store, these cables are not only relatively inexpensive, but can also generally be identified by their red, blue, and green color coding as explained by Rodney-GSHQ in this other thread. There is, however, one slight problem: most video cards do not feature component outputs.
The next available option is to use a Digital Video Interface (DVI) cable. These connections are quite common on newer desktop computers, and are often considered to be the digital successor to VGA. That’s right – everything up to this point has been analog only.
Last, but not least, you may have the option of connecting your computer to your HDTV using an HDMI cable. HDMI outputs are typically only found on newer (and higher-end) computers, but are considered by many to be capable of providing the highest-quality digital signals available.
Regardless of which method you choose, remember that you will need a separate cable to run audio from your computer to your TV! Additionally, it’s strongly recommended that you double-check your TV and computer’s owner’s manuals for step-by-step instructions as there are a number of precautions that you should take before attempting to connect the two.

I know for a FACT that HDMI and DVI are intercompatible. I was talking about the sets themselves. NOT the specs. Many HDTVs have EDID tables that are not compliant with PC signal specs or in some cases, they give off EDID information that isn't understood by various electronic devices that rely on such information. This is a well-known fact and has been a particular problem with older sets. Yes, you can tweak the signal from your PC using PowerStrip, the Nvidia/ATI driver hacks, or whatever applies to your particular setup, but those don't always work. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't work until it works out of the box and there are only a few sets that will work with PC signals over anything other than VGA by design. I know this from my own testing done at Best Buy on nearly two dozen of the 1080P LCDs with my own HDMI/VGA equipped notebooks using the latest (non-Beta) drivers from Nvidia, ATI/AMD, and Intel. I tested both HDMI and VGA from the notebooks for nearly three hours. VGA was the clear winner for out of the box connectivity on most of the sets and HDMI lost big time because the signal was either not displayed at all or displayed improperly with no clear way to resolve the issue. The Sony Bravia LCDs were the only ones that passed both the HDMI and VGA connectivity tests that I did. You simply got lucky with the two LCDs you have used because they were likely intended for multi-media use. The Westinghouse certainly was at any rate since they have always catered to that market.

I am a newbie...and I think I did a big no-no as my Ipad isn't working. I synced it to a second computer at work which is a new Imac after already syncing to my pc at home with Itunes. Now it says it can't restore and can't get it to open. HELP!

iPad can connect only in one iTunes Library. If you want to connect it to a iTunes Library then you have to erase it. You can erase it from iTunes. Make sure you iPad doesn't have a password, or if it has a password make sure that you connect to the computer and enter the password of your iPad

I signed up for sync on one computer and got a pairing code on the second computer but now I can't bring up the pairing screen on the first computer. Why not?

I set up sync on the first computer, then got a sync code on the second computer. Now I can't bring up the sync screen on the first computer to sync them together.

Using a second computer as a external midi instrument or DAW slave?

So this is my current setup:
iMac 24(FW 800 & 400) with logic 8 & reason 4,
Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 firewire (x2) sound card/pre-amp,
Blackbook with MainStage & Reason 4.
& this is what I would like to do:
Use my imac as my main DAW master, (currently tracking to an external FW800 drive & pulling loops from a USB drive), & use my blackbook to run reason as a external midi device or slave.
My Saffire Pro 40 has 2xFW400 ports so I can connect both machines to it.
The idea behind this setup is to pull as many software sounds from the Blackbook & mainly use the imac to run Logic.
Does this make sense? & if so, what's the best way to execute this?
thanks in advance

Hello -
I'm not entirely sure that one audio device such as the Saffire Pro 40 with 2 Firewire ports can be shared between two computers. It was always my impression that the second Firewire port was available to "daisy chain" another audio device or hard drive. Before you proceed, you might want to check with the company that manufactures the Saffire Pro 40 and make sure that two computers can interphase with it.
With regards to using a second computer as a "slave machine", it seems that many, many people do have such configurations to help spread the CPU and memory work-load. My happy Mac Pro is set up to work with a potential of two other "slave machines". When I use this set up, it works wonderfully. But, for most of the time, my happy Mac Pro can manage most sequencing projects (mostly orchestral with LOTS of instruments) on its own. Each computer, however, has its own audio device. All are connected to the Mac Pro using the ADAT light inputs/outputs from each audio device (I use MOTU's audio devices) and are managed midi-wise using Music Lab's MOLCP 3.
Good luck. . .

Can I sync my ipod nano with my second computer/ netbook while travelling?

Looking for some advice on how to connect my IPod nano with my second computer while travelling. That's what happened: I have my iTunes library on my computer at home and can sync my IPod nano (6 th generation, replaced onyl recently) with that library. While I was travelling and wanted to use my IPod I received an error message asking me to connect the IPod with iTunes in order to recover/restore (sorry, the message apeared in German, so I do not know the exact wording in English) . As I only had my second computer - a small netbook - with me, I downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod - only to receive the message that this Ipod would sync with another computer (sure!) and would I want to sync it with this iTunes library instead now? (Of course not, I did not dare because that library was empty!). So there I was with my computer with iTunes library at home and an iPod stuck in recovery mode and not doing a thing during my vacation. Any suggestions? If I have to take my great big workstation with me to get the iPod running again, I might just as well leave the iPod immobile at home. (;-)

On your home computer connect your Nano, click on the name in iTunes, move right to the Summary tab then tick the box that says Manually Manage Music. You will now have to er, manually drag your music to your iPod, and manually eject it when done, but you will be able to add music from two different computers.

Photosmart C309g printer. how do i install it on a second computer. i have a belkin wireless router

my printer has stopped working from a second computer.
it is a photosmart C309g and i have a belkin wireless router. the main computer is XP and the second one is Windows 7.
it use to work before. i have forgotten how i set it up in the first place.

Hi dan-fran,
Just need to download the driver from the link below, and then when you get to the connectivity screen of the installer select network/wireless. If the printer is already on your network the software will find the printer, and you can complete the installation of the software and driver.
