Connecting iMac to ASDL router via home Phone Network Adaptor (PNA)

I connect to the internet via an ASDL Router from BT called the Network 1200.
This allows other computers in the home to connect to the router via a telephone point close to the computer. This is achieved by plugging a Phone Network Adaptor into a USB port on the computer on one end and the telephone socket on the other. The driver for the PNA is contained on disc. I have been connecting several PCs to the router in this way for many years.
I then buy a new iMac, load the driver for the PNA. Plug it into the USB port (expecting this to connect the iMac to the router and so achieving an internet connection) ....but nothing happens. iMac doesn't even acknowledge something has been plugged into a USB port. This works perfectly well with any other PC.
Can anybody help steer me in the right direction to solve this?
Thanks

The Driver was meant to be compatible with a Mac but I guess it could have been for earlier Macs and operating systems. Next question is where do I get one if one exists?

    No such option on an iPhone.  Just go to Settings>wifi, tap the name (SSID) of your your home network from the list, then when prompted, enter the password.

    Have done both suggestions, still not working. Could it have somehting to do with my local network? I am using a wireless Internet provided by my apartment building so not sure if apple tv and my computer are not technically on the same "local network?"
    apple tv and main computer are connecting to Internet fine. Just cannot see my itunes on apple tv.
    any other advice? My itunes is turned on to home sharing. i entered the same apple itunes account into aple tv. but appletv keeps saying my computer's home sharing is not turned on...but it is.

  • Will a desktop connected to a wireless router via network cable be able to use a wireless printer?

    My computer is a Dell runing XP home edition. This computer is connected via a network cable to the wireless router.
    My deskjet 4580 printer is connected to the wireless router network and printing and scanning via wireless network with a laptop that is connected to the network wireless.
    Now I want to print and scan using the desktop computer also. Should I install the wireless driver for the printer? Do I need to connect the printer with USB cable with my desktop computer?
    Please help.  I do not want to disturb the laptop that can print and scan wirelessly with the printer.
    Thanks.

    if the printer is connected to the router wired, then the router is the hub, so you should just need to install the driver for the printer in the machine that is not working.
    If you install the full feature driver to the printer on the computer you want to print via wired to the router to the printer that should work. Run this too:

  • How to connect iMac G3 to internet via PC with DSL?

    Hi all;
    My cousin currently has a Dell desktop that accesses the internet via DSL (wired, not wireless). They also recently acquired an iMac G3 and a d-link wireless adapter and want to know how they can get internet access to the iMac? I'm assuming all they need to do is purchase a wireless router to connect to the PC and then the iMac can access the router via the d-link adapter? Are there any suggestions as to what type of router is best to use? The room the iMac is in isn't close to the PC, so is there one better for distance?
    Any suggestions would be helpful. Oh, and they're not looking to spend a lot of money. So whatever works for reliable access and distance from the router is what they're looking for.
    Thanks!
    Kristen

    Hey Kristen,
    Well the cheapest way would be to use a wired router and run Cat 5.
    As far as recommendations go I would just Google the Models that you're interested in. I set a client up with a wireless router and bought a D-Link at Office Max since I have an old D-Link that has worked perfectly for 3 years. The one I got was nothing but problems so I switched to a Linksys that was well reviewed and now it's worked perfectly for 3 weeks. Turns out that D-Link had both great and awful reviews. I had been prejudiced against Linksys since I have 4 SR41 wired routers that have failed.
    So you can't go by make only model.

  • Connect mac mini to internet via windows phone

    hallo, how can i connect Mac mini to internet via my Windows Phone?

    You are going to have to buy an external modem.  They make ones that plug into the USB.  Apple does not make one so you will have to buy a 3rd party modem.  I would read the reviews before making the purchase to make sure you buy one that someone has tested with a mac.

  • Unable to connect to Cox SMTP server via home wifi

    Two weeks ago my wife's iPad became unable to send email via her Cox email account after a year of working perfectly.  Shortly thereafter, my iPhone Cox mail account started acting the same way when it was connected to my home network.  When the iPhone is connected via 4G, the Cox mail account works fine.  My Yahoo account on my iPhone works perfectly.  My wife has a Yahoo account on her iPad that also works flawlessly.
    I have a 5th Generation Airport Extreme running 7.6.3.  The ISP for this location is Charter.
    I can ping the Cox SMTP server from my Macbook Pro connected to this network.  My connection to the Cox account via Apple Mail on the MBP also works, although it has sporadically also exhibited the same problem. 
    I have tried to set up a new Cox account on my wife's iPad, my iPhone, and my iPad.  Once I enter the credentials, the account setup gets hung at the Verifying step and fails. 
    For some reason, the iOS devices are unable to communicate through my Airport Extreme to the Cox SMTP server.
    At the time the problem started, there were no relevant software or firmware updates applied.
    And don't tell me this is a Mail problem.  If this were a Mail problem, how come it works fine when connected to the cellular network?

    Yahoo settings for both POP and IMAP are in the linked article.

  • IPhone can't access internet via home Airport network

    Hello,
    a work colleague of mine has an iMac at home with a single Airport Express unit through which he plays music. He connects his iMac to the internet via an ethernet cable. He has just purchased an iPhone with an Orange contract. His son also has an iPhone through his employer.
    Neither my colleague nor his son can access the internet with their iPhones via my colleague's home Airport network. Both iPhones recognise the Airport network, evidenced by the 'fan' icon that appears on their iPhones.
    (Hope the above makes sense.)
    I have emailed my colleague several 'help' articles, including those put out by Apple. My colleague has also communicated with someone from Apple (AppleCare I think?) but the problem persists.
    Both iPhones apparently perform okay apart from this one irritating instance. Can anyone suggest what is wrong?
    Many thanks,
    Bob.

    If it's an N Airport, I have heard that iPhones don't play well with N routers even if they are backward compatible with G.
    Otherwise, they could try going into Settings/Wifi. See if the network shows up. Try clicking on it and see if it connects.
    If that doesn't work click on the little arrow on the right side next to the network. This will reveal the network settings. Make sure that it's set on DHCP if that is how they acquire an IP address or static if that's what they use. If it's static, you'll have to put in the settings.

  • How to connect your Verizon 4510L to your home Wifi Network

    Hello there! 
    I recently set my mom up with one of these guys and ran into the problem of having more than 5 devices that need to connect to the Internet and/or each other.  I couldn't find any resources online that described how this can be done, or even if it is allowed.  So I figured I would finally contribute to the Online community and share my success with all of you!  As a disclaimer:  I am not Verizon/Linksys/etc technical support and provide the following information freely and without warranty. The instructions below are specific to my configuration, and while yours WILL work using the same general principles, the exact steps required to make it work may be different.  In other words, YMMV   Good Luck!
    First off, my environment doesn't equal your environment, and what I will describe below is one of the more complex scenarios.  You can disregard any extra routers if you only use 1.  Here is the environment I had to work with:
    A large 2 story home with a basement area as well.  The wifi signal does not travel well from floor to floor, so we had to have 1 wireless router per floor.  We DID have the luxury of using home wiring to to phsycally connect both routers together, if you don't have that luxury, I might suggest using a "Powerline" adapter to help wire your two routers together.  Some devices required wired connectivity on both floors as well, so wireless repeaters would not be sufficient.  We purchased 2 routers to accomplish the following task.  Brand of router should not matter.  If your home is a 1 story, or have adequate coverage from a single router, you can disregard the 2nd (SLAVE) router instructions (4-5) below. 
    First off, what you will need to make this work:
    One or more Wireless Routers (we used Linksys Wireless-G or Wireless-N 4-port routers)
         *EDIT: You need only 1 router, and if an additional access point is needed, purchase an Access Point or repeater with wired/wireless capabilities*
    Verizon JetPack 4510L MiFI device
    One Wireless Bridge (we used Linksys WET610 1-port Entertainment Bridge)
    Next, lets setup the wireless/wired home network to connect all devices with one another:
    1) Choose one router to be the MASTER, and the other to simply be your SLAVE/repeater for the other floor.
    2) Before physically connecting the MASTER and SLAVE routers together perform the following:
    3) On the MASTER router:
         - Change the router IP address to 192.168.10.1
              - The 10 is random, and you can make it whatever you want (as long as it isn't "1"), just remember it and keep it consistent.
         - Configure DHCP (usually on by default) but change the subnet from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.10.x.
              - The reason for changing the DHCP subnet is because your 4510L device uses DHCP as well, and it is configured to use 192.168.1.x
                   - They can't be the same or it won't work
         - Configure your wireless SSID and security (preferably WPA2)
    4) On the SLAVE router *EDIT: or repeater or access point*:
         - Change the router IP address something outside the DHCP range 1-100, but on the same subnet as the master router (ie. 192.168.10.101)
         - Disable DHCP on the router, as all address assignment is going to come from the MASTER
              - You may want to tape over the WAN port as well to remind yourself that it will not be used
         - Configure your wireless SSID and security to match that of the MASTER router
              - This will make it easier for your clients to use both access points and move throughout your home without having an issue
    5) Connect both routers together with Ethernet (either direct cable, home ethernet wiring, powerline adapter, etc)
         - You want to connect both routers using one of the built in network ports (1-4)
    There, now you have both floors of your home setup to accept either wired or wireless clients who will be assigned 192.168.10.x IP addresses.  However, they will not have access to the Internet...yet!
    The MiFi device by default has a long SSID, and the password to connect is on a label on the bottom of it.  Power it on in the room next to a computer (probably a windows computer), and view your wireless networks to connect to from the desktop.  You will probably see the wireless network name you just created on the routers and the "Verizon ..." MiFi name.  Simply make a note of the EXACT SSID being broadcasted by the MiFi device.  If you changed the default WiFi password before attempting this, make a note of that new password as well.
    Next, lets use the key to making this thing work...the Wireless Bridge.  The wireless bridge first needs to be physically connected to either router on ports 1-4.  The bridge will get an IP address assigned to it and you will need to find that address out so that you can access it from a web browser.  The easiest way to find that out is to connect to the MASTER routers web-based administration page (http://192.168.10.1), click on Status menu->Local network, and then click the "DHCP client table" button.  You will find the bridge name and IP address there.  Keep that administration window open. 
    Next, connect your web browser with the bridges IP address so that you can manually configure it to access the MiFi device.  The bridge will ask if you want auto or manual configuration, and you want manual.  When prompted for the SSID and security type, type in the SSID of the MiFi device EXACTLY as you wrote it down.  Next, under security, change the type to WPA2-Personal, and type in the password to access the Verizon MiFi device (either on the sticker under it, or whatever you previously changed it to).  Once you complete that setup, the status page should tell you that the bridge is connected and have an IP address (192.168.1.x) assigned to it.  Once that is done, you can close your web browser to the wireless bridge.
    Disconnect the bridge from the routers network ports and now connect it to the MASTER routers WAN port.
    Next, return to the MASTER routers web-based administration page (http://192.168.10.1), click on the Status menu and view the WAN IP information.  If everything was connected correctly:
    MiFi wirelessly -> Wireless Bridge wired -> Master router WAN port (then optionally wired from port 1) -> Slave router port 1 
    Then, you should see the WAN IP address of 192.168.1.x assigned to your MASTER router.
    If you do see that, then congratulations, open a web browser from any of your wired/wireless clients connected to your home network, and you should be able to access the Internet!  You will be able to support as many clients as your Routers will allow you to directly connect (104 if I am not mistaken)...Yay!
    I hope my experience helps you all in achieving the same results!
    Troubleshooting:
    If you do not see a WAN IP address, you might want to power off the MASTER router, the Wireless Bridge and MiFi device.  Then in the following order power up each one, one at a time, giving the unit time to fully configure and connect to their respective networks:  First MiFi, then the Bridge, then the MASTER router.
    After the Master router is fully powered on, test a webpage again from any client connected to your new home network and it should work. 
    If it _still_ doesn't work, I would recheck the steps listed above to see if anything was missed.  Particularly, making sure you changed the router IP and DHCP subnet of the MASTER router to something other than 192.168.1.x.
    Good Luck!

    Q: "In your example of using the wireless repeater, assuming it is on a different floor than the main router, how are the clients connecting to the network on that floor?"
    A: However you like, both devices support thier own cabled and wireless connections. 
    I assume you are only interested in wireless client connections since cable connections are straight forward.  Depending on how you setup the SSID's clients will connect to either the router or the repeater and they should be overlapping eachother a little. 
    Same SSID:
    If the router and repeater share the same SSID then the client will decide on thier own which one to connect to.  The client will roam between the two on its own criteria as the user moves around the enviornment.  Roaming and transitioning will happen seamlessly for you and you should not notice a break in your connection unless you have something really specific connected to the internet.  In most cases you cannot influence this behavior on your devices as they all have thier own criteria for choosing one SSID over another with a similar name. 
    Different SSID:
    If the SSID's are different then the user must manually connect to one network or the other.  Roaming will not be seamless and as the user walks out of range the client will be disconnected from the device.  This provides the best reliability and control but requires more user intervention.
    Q:"So correct me if I am wrong, but in your setup, there would be 2 wifi network, and the soft limitation of 4 devices on the repeater floor.
    A. Nope, the repeater will support as many devices as it can, depending on the model you purchase.  Even though the repeater needs a wireless connection with the MiFi, the Repeater rebroadcasts and acts as its own independant wireless router.  The MiFi could care lesss how many people are connected to the Repeater, all it see's is one connection.  If you removed the MiFi from the repeater then the repeater will continue to broadcast its own SSID.  Clients connected to the repeater will not be disconnected from the repeater SSID but they would not recieve internet until the MiFi returns.
    With the repeater enviornment you could have 10 people on the repeater, 10 people on the wireless router and 4 people directly conneted to the MiFi all at the same time.  I dont suggest it running like that for performance reasons but hopefully you get the idea.

  • Problems connecting a Satellite Pro 4600 to home wireless network

    Hi,
    My desktop pc has an Athlon 64x2 4200+ processor and 2 GB of RAM, with XP2 Pro. I have a Linksys WRT54GS Broadband Router and am connected with Virgin Media.
    My daughter has given me an old laptop, a Satellite Pro 4600 with a Celeron 747MHz Processor, 384MB of RAM and XP2 Pro it has an Intel Pro/100 VE Network adaptor. I have fitted a Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adaptor with SRX (Model No WPC45GX), so that I can use it around the house. However when I try to connect to the home network, although it "finds" a list of networks, I am unable to connect, and get an error message - "Windows is unable to connect to the selected network (my home network). The network may no longer be in range. Please refresh the list of available
    networks, and try again."
    I have tried connecting with the laptop in the same room as the router, but get the same message. In Device Manager, under Network adaptors, both are shown, and both are working correctly, but in the taskbar there is a red cross shown on both icons, one says that a network cable is unpluged,but I don't have a network cable fitted.
    The other tells me that the wireless is not connected.
    I presume that the adaptor is working as it can "see" wireless networks, plus I have used Lynksys support to check that all the settings on both Router and Adaptor are correct.
    My wife has a new laptop and is able to connect to the home network without any problem.
    Please can anyone offer any advice or assistance.

    Hm,
    for some reason you should disable your wired (cable) network connection and use the client from the PCMCIA wireless network card. Maybe its just the problem that your system cannot separate between both network connections and gets some error. You should also go to the Linksys website and download the latest driver and client for the card, so you can make sure that software is up-to-date.
    Another good idea would be to visit www.microsoft.com and check the support center for any "Knowledgebase documents" which could probably solve the problem.
    Since your machine is really old and no-one uses PCMCIA cards anymore, you will maybe wait some long time for an answer in this forum. Maybe you should check the linksys site for some support section. Perhaps they could help you..

  • Connecting Insignia Blue Ray Player to Home Wireless Network

    OK, I am having problems connecting my Insignia Blue Ray Player to my home wireless network.

  • Connect iMac to Airport Express via ethernet cable?

    I get poor performance using AirPlay to connect to my stereo with the Airport Express on the wireless network in my apartment building. The wireless router is on a different floor, and on the opposite side of the building, which I believe is the cause of the intermittent signal -- the music cuts out and back in constantly.
    However, my workstation is very near the stereo, so I think I should be able to run an ethernet cable directly from my iMac to the Express. How do I set this up, though?

  • How to add another router to Home Hub network.

    Hi,
    Hope someone can help.  Here's the problem.
    I have a Home Hub downstairs, which is working fine.
    I want to put a desktop computer, which doesn't have wireless, upstairs, in a room which I can't get an ethernet cable to easily (we have vinyl floors, due to an allergy problem, therefore no carpets to run cables under).
    I have a spare NetGear DGN2000 router, which says that it can be used as a wireless repeater.
    I would like to use the spare router as a bridge or access point, linking wirelessly to the Home Hub, to enable me to connect the desktop via ethernet, and to improve wireless coverage upstairs.  I know I could use Homeplugs to get the broadband connection upstairs, but I have the router sitting around doing nothing, so would like to make use of it.
    I have a couple of laptops running Vista, the desktop is on XP.
    I am fairly IT & network literate, but have looked at the settings and spent ages googling this without finding a clear solution.
    Can someone please help?
    Many thanks,
    Gringo

    Just be aware that bridging your two routers wirelessly will effectivly half your throughput!
    It would be better to connect the two via cable and have the second acting as a standalone WAP.
    I know u said cable runs are a problem but maybe have the second router in the landing or at the top of the stairs?
    When using my homehub to do just this i had to buy a second router (netgear) to ask as a promary router (DHCP / DNS etc) and used the HH as WAP.
    If I've helped, just click the Star - Every little bit helps
    If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
