Connecting A100-306 & Desktop via Wireless Modem/Router: access is denied

I am attempting to file/printer share between my A100-306 laptop and desktop units.
I have used the Windows Wizard to create internet connection/LAN.
This has been successful with the internet connection (via Belkin 54g Modem/Wireless Router) but my "Troarn" LAN doesn't seem to be recognised by the laptop.
When I interrogate, on the laptop, My Network places/View Workgroup Computers, the page is blank!!
But when I interrogate, on the Desktop, My Network places/View Workgroup Computers, both computers are shown. If I attempt, on the Desktop, to connect access is denied.
Has anyone got any suggestions??

Hi
- Check if you have disabled the firewalls on the notebook.
- Be sure that every computer is placed in the same workgroup.
- Check the TCP/IP protocol settings.
If one computer has IP address 168.192.50.1 the other should has for example 168.192.50.2 and so on.
- If you want to access any folders you should set the rights for sharing this folder.

The Apple time capsule provides disc memory, a wifi network, and router functions. It would normally be connected to the internet via cable modem. If I wanted to use a wireless cellular connection to the internet, how would I do that?

The wireless cellular device would need to have an Ethernet port, to provide an Ethernet signal to the Time Capsule's WAN port.

I recently bought an external hard drive and attached it to a wireless modem router. The problem is that i can't access it from my macbook. I get a "connection failed" and "the server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally".

Well I believe I described the problem above. I want only to add that the external hard drive is a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Drive 1TB and the wireless modem router is a Belkin N Plus (model F5D8635-4 v1). Also, in the finder window under "shared" I see a "belkinserver" and when I click it, it says "connection failed". If I click "connect as" I get the "the server "belkinserver" is available on your computer..." which I mentioned above. I tried to connect macbook via ethernet to the modem router and then when I typed "smb://belkinserver" it immediately prompted me for a username and a password and when I typed them finally I got to enter the contents of the hard drive! So what's the problem wirelessly?

If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
Cheapest option:
1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

Configuring a new Airport Extreme with an existing Wireless Modem Router

I have an existing Wireless Modem Router (brand: Riger) and have an existing wireless network. Recently purchased an AirPort.
What is the best way to install a new AirPort Extreme? I know i have to connect the AirPort Extreme to the modem via ethernet cable.
Do i allow the AirPort to use the existing setting from my old wireless modem router?
Or do i create a new network with different name and password?
Anybody can help or show me where i can look up on this?
Thanks

Hello akramaziz. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Since the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) will be connected to the existing Wireless Modem Router by Ethernet, it should be reconfigured as a bridge.
(ref: AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection > Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode))
As a bridge, the AEBSn will allow the existing router to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients.

Do you have to set up AE inBridge mode with existing wireless modem router?

Hi
I've just bought the AE and Apple TV. My plan was to basically use my existing Netgear wireless modem router for the internet only and set up the AE as the wireless router. I also bought the AE to boost the strength, print wirelessly and I thought it might work better with the Apple TV. The other things I use on my home network are ipad, iphone 4, HP DV6 Notebook, Toshiba Notebook and PS3.
I've plugged the Netgear into the AE with an Ethernet cable. I initially started with the "replace existing access point with AE", as I thought I was replacing the Netgear with the AE. This option left me with internet working and a blinking amber light on the AE.
I then did a hard reset and started again. I diabled the wireless on my old modem/router and chose the "create wireless network" option in airport utility. I think it worked because I have internet and a green light but to be honest I have no idea what I did. I know it's in bridge mode but only because I didn't know how to set up the other options.
Also, I've ended up with three networks out of this process. The default network for the AE (but it has one of those yellow error icons next to it in the available network list), the one I set up and a 5ghz of the one I set up. Neither the default network of the 5ghz network show up in the Internet and Networking control panel, which is where I delete them. I just thought this was odd.
What I'd like to know:
Do you have to set it up in bridge mode when you have an existing wireless modem/router?
If not, is there any benefit to setting the AE up as the router instead of using the Netgear?
If I create a new network should the default network still be showing up in my list of available networks or have I done something wrong?
If I have a 5ghz network, does that mean that the other network I created is only 2.4ghz or is it still dual band?
Considering the devices I have would it be beneficial for me to have a 5ghz network for certain devices only like the Apple TV?
As you can probably tell I have no idea what I am doing. I'm basically just clicking stuff and seeing if it works.
Any help/advice is much appreciated
Thanks
Jo

Hello Jo Sugden. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Do you have to set it up in bridge mode when you have an existing wireless modem/router?
You don't have to but, most likely, it will be the best configuration choice when you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected to your main Internet router by Ethernet. In this configuration, all NAT & DHCP services will continue to be provided by the Netgear router. This will allow all wired or wireless clients connected to the AEBSn to get their IP address (and be on the same subnet) from the Netgear ... and this would allow clients connected to either router to "see" each other.
If not, is there any benefit to setting the AE up as the router instead of using the Netgear?
If, for some reason, you wanted to create a separate subnet, configuring the AEBSn as a router would allow for this.
If I create a new network should the default network still be showing up in my list of available networks or have I done something wrong?
By default, your AEBSn will create two wireless networks with the same Network Name; one broadcasting in the 5 GHz band, and the other in the 2.4 GHz band. The default name for both of these will be Apple Network NNNNNN. You have the option, within the AirPort Utility, to change the names of each network.
When connected by Ethernet, and in bridge mode, it would be beneficial to name your AEBSn's networks the same as that provided by the Netgear. This would create what is called a "roaming" network ... where you literally can roam with a laptop from one router to the other and still be on the "same" network. This also is a way to extend the wireless range of the Netgear.
If I have a 5ghz network, does that mean that the other network I created is only 2.4ghz or is it still dual band?
As a minimum, you will have three wireless networks: one provided by the Netgear and two provided by the AEBSn. By giving them all the same Network Name, they will appear as one to any wireless client. However, they will all show up in a utility like iStumbler or AirRadar.
Considering the devices I have would it be beneficial for me to have a 5ghz network for certain devices only like the Apple TV?
Yes. Operating a wireless network in the 802.11n Radio Mode in the 5 GHz Radio Band offers the best potential bandwidth ... around 300+ Mbps. The only real drawback of the higher frequency band is that the signal strength drops off more rapidly with distance than in the lower frequency band. Also higher frequencies cannot penetrate objects (like walls) as well.
Ideally, you would want to place your Apple TV or other streaming devices in the same room as the 5 GHz network ... or connect them to the router by Ethernet.

Time Capsule and Wireless Modem/Router

I have recently just moved. In my old apartment I have my time capsule connected to my modem that was not wireless, and I was using it creating a wireless network and backing up my mac book pro.
Now that I have moved, my new cable company has supplied me with a modem and wireless router in 1. It creates its own wireless network.
The internet works fine on the network supplied by the new router. When I plug in my TC into the router (using a ethernet cable) it still backs up my mac book, however the light still flashes and still wont connect or make a new network.
I am wondering what is the best way to set up my new wireless modem/router with my time capsule:
Should I leave as is with it still backing up my macbook or is there a better way to set it up so I have my own mac network supplied by the TC, as well as the current one supplied by the company router?

You have a choice here..
The simple way to set this up is bridge the TC.. I think that is how it must be setup otherwise your Mac could not back up to it.
The fact that the wireless network of the TC is unavailable is not a major issue unless the current router is slow.
You can do a reset of the TC.. I recommend to still download and use 5.6 utility
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Still far superior to the one in Lion. You might need to do it at first with ethernet directly to the TC and set up wireless again.. use short name with no spaces no special characters. Fix and lock the 2.4ghz wireless channel.
Go to the internet tab, connection sharing and make sure the connection sharing is set to off bridge mode.
Once you do that, plug the TC back into the main router by ethernet.. reboot the whole system.. restart in order modem.. tc.. clients. It should now appear as TC wireless network.
The alternative is to turn off wireless or even bridge the modem router and use the TC in router mode. You will need to look up how to do that. That would make the current modem just like your old one which was a straight pure modem.. but you can easily run into trouble so I think it is not the best option here.

Using Airport Extreme (802.11n) with Netgear Wireless Modem Router

I have a quick question, can I use the Airport Extreme in a wireless modem router?(http://www.netgear.co.uk/wirelessadslrouterdg834g.php)
By plugging the Airport into the Netgear router would I be able to by pass and run a network this way. I have a 802.11n enabled MacBook and Apple TV, the Netgear is the weakest link!!!
Many thanks.

neptune2000's post was implying that you connect the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) to the Netgear.
The AEBS does NOT contain a modem. Therefore you will need a modem, either the Netgear or another.

Connect Airport Express to Motorola Surfboard Modem/Router

I have purchased a Motorola SURFboad eXtreme Wireless-N Cable Modem and Router (model SBG6580). In order to extend the network to all rooms of my condo, I purchased a 2nd generation Airport Express.
I was able to setup the Airport with my Mac using the Airport Utility and I was able to connect to the my network; got a solid green light on the aiport!
When I tried to access the network, using the Mac, in a room farthest from the Cable Modem but next to the Airport Express, I was not able to see my network. As I walked closer to the modem, the network became visible and I was able to connect.
I then tried to turn off all security on the network and got the Airport Express to connect to the network and and got the solid green light again. I tried the same experiment, and got the same result.
So wondering what I need to do to get the Airport Express to connect to the Wireless Modem and extend the network?
Any ideas and suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, Apple tells us that the "extend a wireless network" feature will only work when you have the Express extending another Apple router.
In other words, to "extend" it takes a minimum of two Apple routers.
Your Express has "joined" the network. You can use it for AirTunes or connect a remote printer, but it will not "extend" the signal from the Motorola modem/router and provide more wireless signal coverage.
You would need to connect the Express to the Motorola modem/router using a wired Ethernet connection if you want it to provide more wireless coverage. In this case, the Express would be configured to "create" a wireless network using the same wireless network name, same security settings and same password as the Motorola network. The Express must also be configured to operate in Bridge Mode in this type of setup.

If your not hearing dial tone you might have your phone plugged into the wrong port. Most modems have 2 outlets, one is labeled line ( that is the one you should have plugged into the jack (RJ11C). If that's correct, query the modem and see if it tests OK, you may have a defective modem.

Connecting time capsule to wireless modem router via ethernet cable

Hi
I use my TC to store all my data and itunes music/media. I've noticed that when purchasing music, the download speeds are quite slow, even though when I test the broadband speed, it's at a reletively ok 5 mbps. If I hard wire the tc to the modem router, will the downloads be faster? If so, how do I connect them up with ethernet cable. I've done so, and nothing seems to appearing on my desktop.
cheers
Mark.

Reset the TC to factory settings. This will allow you to reconfigure the TC to use Ethernet.

Connecting MacBook to printer via wireless network

Hi topgunner,
How is the printer connected? Are you trying to share it via a PC through wireless? Or is it connected directly to a router/hub that is enabled for printer sharing?

Help Needed to set up Wireless Modem/Router

Howdy all,
I have a new MacBook Pro connected to the internet via a BigPond supplied Speedtouch modem through ethernet cable. I have an Open Network 824RLW router/adsl modem that I would like to use for a wireless connection.
I just can't seem to get it to work. It says connected to wlan-app...
I read some of the discussions here and on whirlpool and there seems to be concerns about the extreme cards in the MBP.
Please can someone tell me what settings (Mac and Modem) I need to make to get the MBP to talk to the router/modem. I can get into the modem settings easily enough and think I have set it up correctly but don't have bigpond support to know exactly what needs to be done.
Thanks.
