Connecting to Directv DVR via ethernet

What are the correct setting for setting up a HR-20-700 DVR via ethernet to the Airport Extreme. The dvd shows an IP address of 169.254.10.143 and subnet 255.255.0.0 and service ports of STB 27177 and Audio 27178. I will connect the AE to a DSL modem. I will connect my iMac also via ethernet. I will use wireless for my iPhone. Thank in advance for saving me some frustration.

I just plugged it in to the Airport and the DVR - went to setup on he DVR and it worked. Takes an hour or so for the on demand to populate. Just got the box Friday

  • Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet

    Issue with 2wire dsl router when connecting power pc g4 via ethernet. The 2wire will keep resetting. When I connect my macbook pro via ethernet to the 2wire all is ok, but as soon as i connect the power pc. . . .reset. I have emailed 2wire support. They recommended using a different patch cable. Tried that.. .. anyone else having this issue???? Any help would be appreciated. . .

    Search the discussions for issues with 2wire dsl routers. This has come up before in a discussion I've been involved with, but probably not to do with the MDD. I do remember it being a design issue with the router, something that was done to it before dispatch.
    Let us know if you can't find it and we'll have a look.
    If you afford it, bin the 2wire and go buy something decent like a Netgear.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Connected to the internet via ethernet, BUT...

    I turned off my computer, modem, everything and uplugged it all because of a severe lightning storm Saturday. Since I turned it back on the next day I haven't been able to access the web or my mail. However, the problem must be with my G4, because I have an iBook on Airport and I'm able to connect to the web and email with it. So the cable modem and Airport are evidently working properly. My G4 network settings all appear normal. I've got a green light saying I am connected to the internet via ethernet, but I'm really not. My email won't go online and no browser works, although I don't get a "can't connect" message on the browser screen, it just stays white. I had this problem before but I can't remember what I did to correct it. I just remember unplugging the modem and Airport over and over, in different order, and resetting preferences. But I don't remember what I did, if anything, to actually make it work again. Does anyone have an idea on what I can try to REALLY connect?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Frustrated in Florida,
    EG

    Tough to troubleshoot lightning in person, moreso at a distance!
    Things to try...
    Type 17.112.152.32 into your browser... thinking it may be off looking for a DNS server that doesn't exist.
    Launch Network Utility and see if you can Ping like that addy, or your other computer.
    Results may help us get further.

  • I have att u verse modem and it wifi was not working. So i got netgear wifi an d i connected my apple tv via ethernet cable to att uverse modem . i did not want slow dowm my wi fi speed. Now airplay is not working .

    i have att u verse modem and it wi fi was not working. So i got net gear wi fi  and connected to att modem .  i connected my apple TV via Ethernet cable to att uverse modem . i did not want slow down my wi fi speed.  My Apple phone is on Netgear wifi .Now airplay is not working .

    Make sure that the Att Modem goes to the netgear router via ethernet cable. Then connect your Apple Tv with a ethernet cable to the back of the net gear router. Airplay wants it to both be connected to the same device, usually.

  • 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

  • Question re AEBS Connected to Airport Express via Ethernet

    If I have an AEBS that is being used to extend the range of my wireless network, if I connect an Airport Express via Ethernet to this AEBS for purposes of itunes airtunes will this work and will the wireless network remain wireless-n?

    Yes, it will.
    You also have the option of (a) completely turning off the radio on the Airport Express or (b) leaving it on, and using it to create a b/g point of access to your LAN thus allowing you to run the AEBSn in n-only mode for your n-capable wireless clients.

  • 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!

  • Connecting Two Airport Express Via Ethernet

    I have a unique situation in which I would like to connect two airport express via ethernet. Here is the situation: I can connect the first AX directly to the internet and set up a WDS for the second AX. Unfortunately, the second AX signal does not reach where I need it to go. I can run an ethernet cable between the two. Is this setting valid for a WDS? Or does the WDS have to be wireless? If I can set up the WDS using an ethernet, will the relay AX broadcast the internet wirelessly then?
    Are there any specific settings I should know about?
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks in advance,
    Debbie

    I currently have an old snow basestation at this location. Can I plug an ethernet cable into it and connect it to the AX?
    Yes that will work.
    My understanding was that the older basestation could not do this?
    I think you have it confused with extending a network wirelessly. That is not possible with the snow AirPort base station (ABS).

  • How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection, How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection

    Trying to connect my xbox to the airport express. Have wireless in home and do not have a ethernet point behind tv/xbox. How do I configure the airport express to connect to my wireless network and then the airport express can use its connection via ethernet to connect the xbox to the internet.

    Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) a 802.11n model? If it is, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge or ProxySTA. This would allow the AX to join another wireless network and have its Ethernet port enabled for wired clients, like the Xbox 360.
    To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.

  • I'd like to alter my Airport Extreme/Airport Express wireless network so that the 3 Expresses connect to the Extreme via Ethernet. I've been told this will create a more stable wifi signal. How do I configure this using Airport Utility? Thanks.

    I currently have an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to my DSL router by Ethernet. Because I have a long, sprawling home, I have 3 Airport Expresses configured to "Extend the Wireless Network" I've established. Because of my home environment--thick walls encompassaing wire mesh, sprawling rooms, etc., it is hard to maintain a continuously-strong, stable WiFi signal. I've been told that I can create a much more stable network by connecting the Express units to the AEBS via Ethernet cable. Since my home is already wired for Ethernet, I'm considering making this change. If I proceed to establish the Ethernet connections, how do I then set up Airport Utility to accomodate this switch from a Wireless-based WiFi network to an Ethernet-based WiFi network?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Phyllis

    I don't see anyplace in the Utility to designate HOW the Express units are connected, only how they relate on the network to the Extreme,
    As I mentioned in the previous post, when you click the Internet icon in AirPort Utility:
    Connect Using = Ethernet  (This tells each Express to connect to the Extreme using the ethernet connection)
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)  (This setting allows your AirPort Extreme to function as the "main" router on the network, as it must for the setup to work correctly.
    You do not need to configure anything differently on the AirPort Extreme (as long as it is working correctly now) to connect the AirPort Express devices.
    The only other question I have is the following: I'm currently already using one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the Extreme-- for my husband's iMac. I really don't think he gains much in performance over how the iMac would run through wifi, so I could disconnect the iMac. If you think the iMac would do better to stay on the Ethernet connection, should I use a switch/splitter to add an extra connection?
    Since each AirPort Express must connect using ethernet, you will need to use the 3 LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme for the AirPort Express devices.
    I would suggest that you try connecting the iMac using wireless to see if that will work. If the wireless connection is not satisfactory, then you can add a 5 port ethernet switch to one of the LAN ports on the Extreme and then plug all the devices connecting using ethernet....the iMac and the 3 AirPort Express devices...into the remaining 4 ports on the switch. That will leave you with 2 open ports on the AirPort Extreme for any future devices that may need to connect.
    When you test out the system, here is a trick to find out which device your computer is actually connecting to at any given time as it "roams" around the house.
    When you have AirPort Utility open to configure each AirPort Express, jot down the AirPort ID for each Express. You can do the same for the AirPort Extreme.
    As you move around with your laptop, hold down the option key on your Mac keyboard while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device that the laptop is connected to at that time. it should also be the ID of the closest AirPort Express (or AirPort Extreme if the laptop is close to the Extreme at the time).
    Let us know how things are working when everything is up and running.

  • Using time capsule to share internet connection with a pc via ethernet

    Hi,
    I've recently acquired a time capsule and was wondering if i could use it to share a wireless internet connection via ethernet to my non-wireless (windows 7) pc?
    My current situation is that i have a wireless modem/router that shares my internet connection wirelessly with my mac mini.
    I have a pc without a wireless card that i want to connect to the wireless network so i was wondering if it was possible to attach the pc and the time capsule with an ethernet cable, then connect the time capsule to the wireless network and share the internet connection with the pc.
    Can anyone tell me if this is possible, and if so how?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussion area!
    IF...your wireless network is now being created by another Apple "n" router like an AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express or Time Capsule, it would be possible to do what you want to do.
    But the Time Capsule would not be compatible for what you want if your wireless is created by another manufacturer's router. The Time Capsule could "join" this wireless network so that backups would occur over wireless. However, when the Time Capsule is configured this way, the ethernet ports on the device are not active, so this would not help with the ethernet connection that your computer needs.
    A new AirPort Express 802.11n would do what you want. It has the capability of joining virtually any wireless network and the ethernet port can be enabled using the ProxySTA feature, so it would work for your purpose.

  • Connecting to Time Capsule via ethernet but my computer does not have an IP address

    I'm connected to internet w/Airport TC.
    I want to connect via ethernet for fast and stable backup. When I connect the ethernet cable what I see is "The cable for Ethernet is connected, but your computer does not have an IP address". I don't want to mess up with my connection. What should I do?

    Thanks for your response Bob, I found a way to resolve my issue.
    I'm connecting to internet via wireless modem. TC is connected to that wireless modem via wired ethernet connection and functions as a router - I guess - so our Apple devices connect to the network.
    I had disabled WiFi earlier, since I wanted to connect to TC via ethernet. I realized I somehow needed to have the connection re-enabled WiFi but change the connection order, so ethernet is at the top of the list.
    It might have been some other things I did, like trying to imitate config samples I found on the net by typing 255.255.255.0 and 192.something.something.0...etc.
    Not sure exactly what made it work, but eventually, I believe I managed to connect and transfer many gigs of data over to TC with ethernet but it still took soooooo long.
    Thanks,

  • Connecting to Airport Express via Ethernet Cable

    Dear Apple Support Community,
    My setup at home is such that all my devices are in such close proximity to the Airport Express, and therefore I connect everything to the Airport Express via ethernet cables (NAS, Apple TV, PS 3).
    The final step in my network setup would be to connect my Macbook to the Airport Express to connect to the internet using the Ethernet Cables, instead of using the wireless connection - because my Macbook is positioned right next to the Airport Express.
    However, I am struggling to get the Macbook to connect to the Internet via the Ethernet Cable through the airport express. Is there a special way to set this up if this can be done. I know Wireless would be the answer, but the problem is, when I download movies etc, I write the files directly onto the NAS which happens a lot quicker than doing so via WiFi.
    I hope the above question makes sense.
    Thanks in advance for any feedback.
    Regards
    ST

    Hello Brian Hunt1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I have an old PowerBook G3 and I do not have a wireless card for it. My plan was to connect it, via Ethernet cable to my airport express which is on my home wireless network (DSL to Mac Mini to AirPort Express via built-in AirPort).
    Unfortunately, the network configuration your describing, where you would use OS X's Internet Sharing feature to share the Mac Mini's wired Internet connection wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), won't work.
    If I cannot connect my laptop this way, could anyone suggest a wireless card that is compatible with this slightly antiquated, yet very useful machine?
    Only the "Pismo" PowerBook G3 is capable of using the original AirPort card. If you have this model, then the following DIY instructions will show you how to install it.
    If this isn't your model, then check out the following vendor offerings:
    o QuickerTek
    o hField Technologies' Wi-Fire
