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

How to connect a second computer to an airport extreme network

how do I connect my macbook pro to an existing airport extreme network. The AE basestation is showing up on the macbook but when I click on it it tells me its not connected ??

How can one determine if another person has leeched
onto an Airport Extreme network? Is there a way to
list users?
Run Airport Utility, Manual Setup, Advanced button, Logs and statistics, Wireless Clients.
...just changed my password and now my internet
connection is much, much faster...the wireless
broadcasting strength was fine, but, web pages had
recently slowed to a crawl...after changing the
password download speeds returned to normal...could
someone have been leeching on the network?
Sure, if you made a more secure password, that is quite possible. Minimum recommendation is the following:
1. use WPA
2. use a password with no word from ANY dictionary
3. use a password that is a combination of letters (upper and lowercase), numbers and special characters
4. use a password at least 12 characters long.
Better yet, use a "strong" password generator, such as the one at:

I Don't Want Shuffle Erased when connecting to second computer

Yes ... when it comes up and asks whether you want to use this Library instead of your old one, just answer "No". It unmounts and will continue charging.

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???

Ipod shuffle second generation won't connect to my computer

I'm operating on Window 8.1 and my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen won't connect to my computer. My USB port and cord are working because it does make the connection noise when I plug it in but it does not show up in My Comptuer or in My Devices on iTunes. This is the second iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen I've had this issue with.

If you have not already, as a test, shut down (power off) your computer and disconnect all USB devices (including any hub). You can leave standard keyboard/mouse connected, if used. If it's a laptop, connect its power adapter so that it's not running on battery power. If the shuffle's power switch is ON, put it in the OFF position. Power up the computer, run iTunes, and connect shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer, by itself. This is a test for possible interference between connected USB devices. Any difference?
If that does not help (or you already tried), does your computer have USB 3.0 ports (instead of 2.0). If so, and if you happen to have an older USB 2.0 hub that is powered (has its own power supply), try connecting the hub to your computer and your shuffle to the hub.

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 get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I am using windows 7 professional install disc. I can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
"P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI

Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI in without any additional software or graphics adaptor. I have a 520-1070
HP - 23" Touch-Screen TouchSmart All-In-One Computer - 8GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive ? I used a HDMI to HDMI cable and the monitor was not recognized.

Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 520-1070 Desktop Computer. As previously stated your computer Doesn't have a HDMI output, instead it has a HDMI input. This is designed to let you connect a game console, a DVD/Bluray player, etc. to use as a monitor.
If you wish to conect a second monitor to your computer, you will need to use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or EVGA UV Plus+ UV19. Using an adapter like these with the touch feature of your computer may cause issues with pointer control and you may need to disable the touch feature to use "extended desktop".

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. . .

My WiFi name and password has changed. Did someone hack my WiFi? My computer can connect but not my iPhone 5s, and the connection for my computer is full, please help.

Hello, this is my first post.
Well lately I've been experiencing some connection issues with my iPhone 5s. I was on my iPhone just watching Youtube when my iPhone 5s disconnected, I tried to connect again by going to settings> Wi-FI> and then select my network as usual, but the weird thing is that my Wi-Fi network has changed it's name to Wireless, it used to be Wireless710. Also the password has been changed.
My computer can easily connect due to the fact that it is hardwired to the Wireless Cable Modem Gateway.
Extra Info:
Carrier is Sprint.
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate.
My Wireless Cable Modem Gateway is Netgear.
And now I am confused because when I open the small tab with the computer and a plug on the bottom right corner next to the speaker icon it says I'm not connected :/?! Here is a picture of it:
Note that I can not connect to it but am connected on my computer. It just disappeared on my phone and computer, I even unplugged my router waited for 20 seconds and connected it back in. Did it wok? for my computer yes again because it is hardwired, but my phone? No. Wireless 710 still won't show up. Is this a possible hack? Please help me as much as you all can, thank you very much.

Log in to the router's console with a web browser from your computer. What kind of encryption did you have on the router? If it was WEP that's about as secure as no encryption. It should be WPA or WPA2. There has been an exploit reported in Netgear and Linksys routers that allows someone connected to the router if Remote Access to the console is enabled to take it over and install spyware on it.
Is it your router, or the cable providers? If it is yours it has been hacked. If it belongs to the cable provider they may have changed it to make it more secure. Call them.
And if it has been hacked and is yours the best thing to do is to throw it away and get a new, more secure router. Or you can try reflashing the firmware by going to Netgear's site and downloading a clean copy.
