Connecting to wired Internet at Hotel

Hi all
I'm traveling on business out of the country. I notice the hotel I'm staying at has wired internet.
Okay it's been a long time for me so what do I need to have with me besides maybe a CAT-5 (ethernet) cable and how would I connect.
I've got an early 2008 MBP. Is there something I need to set up somewhere in the MBP? I don't want to mess up my settings for my Home based Airport Extreme (wireless network).
thanks
Allen

You just need the cable. In System Preferences > Network, make sure Ethernet is in the list on the left. Once you connect the cable, you should be good to go (but, you may need to launch Safari, go to a generic page like google.com, to be re-directed to a page where you agree to the hotel's terms of service, etc.).

I want to use Airport Express in my hotel room using the wired internet connection, but I don't carry a computer, just my iPad. Is that possible?

I want to use AirPort Express when I am traveling. I would like to use a wired internet connection in a hotel room to create a wireless connection. However, I do not normally carry my laptop, just my iPad. Is it possible to do this?

You will have to pre-configure the Express using AirPort Utility on your computer before you leave on the trip. The Express will store and remember the settings.
You might want to check with the hotel in advance to make sure that they have Ethernet ports available. Most hotels have switched to wireless and the others are not far behind.

Problem connecting my macbook pro to a wired internet connection via ethernet cable adapter

I am having a problem connecting my macbook to a wired internet connection in an area in my workplace where there is no wifi. The macbook works fine on the same internet connection via wifi in other parts but when I add it as a wired connection it doesn't show any connection. I have turned off wifi to make sure that it is not trying to pick up a poor connection but I still can't get this to work. I think I am trying to set up the connection properly but can't be completely sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Open System Preferences>Network and make sure Ethernet is selected. If it is, open Advanced Settings (at the bottom of the Network window). Click on the TCP/IP tab. Configure IPv4 should be set to "Using DHCP".
Configure IPv6 should be set to "Automatically". When those are set click the "Renew DHCP Lease" button

I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time. Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out.

I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time. Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out of one devise before using another?

Some Internet providers that limit access to a single device at a time do so by the device's hardware MAC address. If your ISP is one of those, you may be able to substitute the MAC address of your AirPort Express base station for the computer. I would suggest that you contact them to find out if this is allowable.

Airport Express disconnects wired internet connection when attempting to extend Airport Extreme WiFi network

I just purchased and airport express to extend my wifi network. My base station is an airport extreme, I have one wired connection and a wifi network. When I go through the recommended steps to set up the express and "extend the network", the airport extreme will no longer connect to the internet via ethernet. I have tried various settings and can't seem to resolve the problem. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Ok so we now have a solution to the problem. A friend of mine came round to work this out with me last night and we were able to get it working, but it is not as easy as I had hoped. Fisrtly we plugged the airport express into my router using the ethernet cable (for this I am using an Airport Express Base Station") and in airport utilities selected the airport express. In edit, we then gave the airport express a new range of IP address which did not conflict with any of the other applications that I have already assigned. We also named the Airport Express with a distinguishable name. We then waited for the changes to be registered then unplugged the Airport Express from the router. I then plugged my AppleTV via HDMI into a tv to test it and selected the new wifi network with the new Airport Express distinguishable name. I was able to watch a video that I have on my ipad directly on my tv without being connected to the internet, and was able to play Airplay presentations.
No the easiest solution, and certainly not something that anyone at Apple has talked me through in my lengthy conversations with them at Applecare.
Hope this helps.

Connecting iPod touch to the Internet via a Mac with a wired Internet connection

I have a Mac Mini which is connected to the Internet using a wired Ethernet connection. I've just bought an iPod touch, but the iPod can't connect to the Internet using the wi-fi network I've created on the Mac Mini, although it knows that the network exists. Any ideas?

What happens when you try to connect to the network? Error message?

Can AirPort express be used for AirPlay with my home stereo, and to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via ethernet, simultaneously?

I am considering buying an airport but I am not sure if it will work how I would like it to. I need it for two things. The first would be to use for AirPlay with my home stereo. The second would be to use as a way to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via the ethernet port. I would like to do these things simultaneously, rather than constantly changing the configuration and being limited to a single function each time I do so.
Thanks!

The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, it would join an existing wireless network and its Ethernet port would be enabled for a wired client, like your Xbox 360. This configuration would also support AirPlay simultaneously.

Is it the same user/iTunes account or...?
Syncing to a new computer should give you the opportunity to replace the exisiting contents with the new.

If you have wired Internet there are adoptions for you to add a router or airport express to build a Wi-Fi network.

Maps needs wifi on even when it a wired internet connection

Show location in maps must have wifi on, seems silly on iMac with wired internet connection. Also less secure

"since an Ethernet link could be up to 1000' from its point of connection to an ISP"
That's not the half of it. The *Ethernet* link is only to your cable modem or home network switch or what-have-you, and since you can carry your hardware anywhere on the planet, the fact that OSX could find out the Ethernet MAC address of other devices on the network is meaningless. The only thing remotely useful it can get from a wired connection is the TCP/IP address that your home system is presenting to the rest of the Internet, and, at best, that would just indicate where your ISP's central wiring closet is. In my particular case, packets go to my DSL modem, switching over from TCP/IP on Ethernet to ATM via ADSL, and stay as ATM packets until they get to CenturyLink's regional center, which is about 150 miles away from my house. My IP address (like most peoples') is assigned from a pool of addresses via DHCP, which means that the customer (and thus physical location) associated with any particular IP address can change week to week or even day to day.

WRT54GS won't connect to the internet through my wired computer

So, basically, I've had this router for awhile now, it used to work just fine, and I haven't changed any settings or anything of that sort.
But suddenly it decides that it doesn't want to connect to the internet anymore. I've tried troubleshooting it like a hundred times now. I've looked at the FAQs for help but none of them seem to partain to my problem because they mostly talk about the wireless connection not working. Which I'm sure mine would if it could work on the wired connection.
There's no problems with my ISP, when I connect my computer directly to the modem my internet works fine but when I try to connect through the router it just doesnt work at all.
So, I really dont know what the problem is but could you please help me?
ALSO...the power light in the back blinks too and I've tried doing the firmware update but it didnt work..I might've had the wrong DNS Servers, but I didn't really know where to go to get that, the walkthrough didn't exactly make that clear to me.
In short, my internet wont connect when using the router. Help?

hi i have read your problem but i can be wrong... because suppose to be your system have working before. i think can exist conflicts between modem ip address and router ip address. first disconnect your modem from your router put in your internet explorer 192.168.1.1 and if your router has password live user name area in blank. and put in password area admin and push return. when appear the setup menu ( must to be in basic setup menu by default) search the text Local IP Address 192.168.1.1 and let change for 192.168.2.1 and do click in save settings button turn off your modem your router and connect everything and turn on them. check if you get access internet service.

I am hard wired. Screen occasionally comes up saying "You are not connected to the Internet"

I have a new IMac desktop. It is hard wired. All the FIOS equipment has been verified and replaced. Still, every day, a few times, a screen comes up saying "You are not connected to the Internet." It seems to have experts stumped. Any advice, thoughts, experience with this? The screen stays up only a few seconds.

When this happens, if it stays up for a period of time, go to System Preferences > Network > unlock the lock lower let side bar > Advanced lower right > TCP/IP and click Renew DCHP Lease. See if that helps.

Airport Extreme joining a network and sharing wired internet connections

Hi everyone,
My new ISP installed their modem/wifi router (Sagemcom) in my home two months ago. Since I share HDDs over the wifi network, I installed my airport extreme near the modem/wifi router and used it to "extend the network", and it worked fine until recently. It stopped working suddently with the yellow light flashing. When I tried to reconfigure it, I always got errors, needing to reset it even to be able to see it again in Airport utility. Honestly, I have absolutely no idea why it stopped working. I tried connecting the Airport Extreme with an ethernet wire to the modem with the same result. So, I decided to move the airport extreme in my living room and use it to share the internet connection with my PS3, slingbox and Apple TV, telling myself that a partly wired connection would improve the signal (since I also had an Airport Express in the living room extending the network before everything stopped working). Now, everything works; the green light is on, HDDs are available on the wifi network, I can only connect to the Sagemcom routeur but, meh, what do you want, BUT, my slingbox, Apple TV and PS3 can't connect to the airport extreme through a wired connection.
Two questions:
1- Is it possible to share a wired internet connection with my Slingbox, PS3 and Apple TV from an Airport Extreme that has joined the network? If yes, what do I need to do to make it work?
2- Any idea why my first setup stopped working?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Frank

1- Is it possible to share a wired internet connection with my Slingbox, PS3 and Apple TV from an Airport Extreme that has joined the network? If yes, what do I need to do to make it work?
Unfortunately, the Ethernet ports are not enabled when the AirPort Extreme is configured to "join" a wireless network.
Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express does have the ability to "join" a wireless network and deliver an Ethernet signal at the port(s).
2- Any idea why my first setup stopped working?
None that you probably have not already thought about. The most commons cause is a sudden power outage, or even quick power "blip" can sometimes result in the Extreme to losing some of its configuration settings. Otherwise, gremlins are hard to catch.
