Connection under OS X

hi, i have a new macbook and i cant connect to the internt under mac OS X at school. When I was in windows XP, i just went to the internet options and entered the address and port and everything worked. The ethernet cable is well plugged as it works under windows XP. How do I have to set those things up under mac OS X to have it working ? Under os X the macbook seems to be only looking at wireless connections...
thanks a lot

Hi chris, do the following:
1. Go Into System preferences
2. Then chose either airport or ethernet (which ever one you use)
3. Then choose proxies.
Type in your information their.

Bluetooth Headset won't stay connected under 10.6

My PS3 headset use to stay connected under leopard but something in snow leopard doesnt like it. If I can get it connected it'll stay connected for a min. And i cant get the input meter to pickup any audio from the device. However on my iPhone and PS# it works flawlessly. I've tried re-parring it and making sure all my other bluetooth items are off but it still does the same. Any suggestions?

Ugh, NO ONE? This is absolutely stupid.

WRT54GS v1.0 Drops Connection under Vista, Fix?

Since an upgrade to vista my router has been droping the internet connection at random times, and quite frequently. Sometimes i will be connected for hours, other times it will drop every 5 minutes. This problem did not exist under XP, nor does the net cut out on other XP based machines. Occasionally it will drop the connection, and not see any networks (there are several in my area). Other times it will show my network with the name "Unnamed Network" and not allow me to connect to it. I'm thinking there is an issue with Vista autodetecting the network? Went to look for the latest firmware, but seems linksys is almost a year behind since their last release (i updated anyways). Also why is there no tech support email clearly posted on their site to address them with this question? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Upon further review, every time my internet cuts out on my Vista laptop, it is also cutting out on my wife's XP laptop. The internet does NOT drop on my wired XP machine. They both drop at the same time, what does this indicate? Again this is new since adding a vista computer to the network, this router has been rock solid for well over a year otherwise.
I also went through tech support (before i realized all wireless was dropping at the same time) and they confirmed this router should work with Vista.
Is it just bad luck my router went bad at the same time i installed Vista? Or is Vista somehow affecting this? And to the above poster, thanks for the advice, but i swapped out my internal Intel 3945ABG adapter with my other laptop (same adapter of course) and it did not change anything. I'm led to believe this is Vista borking it, or my router just went/is going bad?
Anyone?

RDE client crashes on connect under bootcamp Windows 7

Remote Desktop (RDE) clint crashes soon after connection from Windows 7 running on bootcamp partition. I am able to connect to the remote computer from other machines. I am even able to connect to the remote computer with Mac OS on the computer. Just fails when I boot using Windows 7.
It appears that the problem has to do with the Video card driver on the 27" iMac under bootcamp. At least that is the Error logged on the remote computer after crash.
Are there better video drivers for bootcamp that what comes from Apple? Appreciate any help!

Hi probe_driod.
Thanks for your help. I ran software update this morning and the only thing that appeared was an updated version of iTunes. I manually downloaded the Graphics Firmware update but it said it did not apply to my system.
It is to my understanding that i cannot install Bootcamp 4 over the top of my Bootcamp 3.3 installation without first removing my bootcamp partition (therefore destroying all of my data) and then installing bootcamp again from scratch. Is this correct?

Mac app store will not connect under a managed user account but will under admin. Please help clear this up?

After I have installed OSX Mountain lion I clicked on the app store to buy an app. Only one problem, it says it "cannot connect", I then tried under the admin account and it worked no problem. I log back into the managed user account and disable any parental controls that might be interferring, I try again and it worked. I need the mac app store to work under the managed user with parental controls on. I cleared the iTunes store cache and reset the warnings just to see if that might do the trick but no luck. When the latest update was availble I updated immediatly in hopes of that might fixing the problem but again it did not work. I would really appreciate if anyone had any ideas on how to help solve this issue.
-Thanks

Connecting Under Boot Camp - WRT610N

I recently replaced an old Belkin router with the WRT610N. I've benn very happy with this router with one exception. I have a Macbook Pro. Under the Mac operating system, I have not problem connecting. Running XP under Boot Camp is a diffferent story. It will connect for a few minutes, but then the link becomes non-responsive (limited ot no connectivity) and I have to log off and then back on. This never happened with the Belkin router, and other PCs, an Apple TV, and an iPhone connect wirelessly without a hitch. So I suspect this is something about the Linksys router.
Can anyone help me with this problem? It happens on both bands. If it's relevant, the 5GHz band is network mode Wireless-N only, radio band Auto, WPA2-Personal with WPA-TKIP or WPA2-AES encryption. The 2.4GHz band (the one I prefer to use for this problamatic connection) is network mode Mixed, radio band Auto, WPA-Personal with TKIP encryption.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Upgrade the Firmware on the router as the new firmware has resolved many issues for wireless connection...Also make sure that the radio band for 2.4GHz Frequency is set to standard-20MHz and standard channel should be 11-2.462GHz...Also the network mode should be Mixed on both the frequencies...

No wlan connection under XP / Bootcamp 2.0

Hi,
I've set up a perfectly stable Windows XP Professional (SP2) under Boot Camp 2.0 - unfortunately I only have LAN, but no WLAN connection. All drivers have been installed, but whatever I try, I can't connect to the internet. The ipconfig seems to be ok., nevertheless I can only connect to my LAN and workgroup, but not to the internet.
Maybe I should upgrade boot camp to the newest version? How do you do this? Do I have to upgrade Boot Camp on OSX first and then on Windows?

Slow internet connection under OS X, but not under Bootcamp (XP)

I'm using airport internet connection, and I have no idea why the internet is so much slower under OS X than it is under Windows. I tried using 'many' different browsers on both operating systems, and the result is the same. Leopard is clearly having trouble handling the bandwidth, and it's been like this as far as I can remember. All my software is up to date.
If anyone could help me understand this problem better, that would be appreciated.

G'day,
From your post - I presume that you are using Windows on your MacBook? Or is it a separate computer? (If it is your MacBook, that eliminates hardware as a factor).
Have you attempted to measure the speed difference? There are numerous speed tests available on the net. To some extent the numbers generated are a bit random (other factors can influence speed on a particular connection), but it would be useful if the tests were done in close succession on the same machine.
What kind of wireless router are you using? Sometimes there can be incompatibilities between the router and OS X. Check for firmware updates and the like.
Is there anything else running on OS X which could be accessing the internet at the same time as your browser? As an example, the MobileMe Backup can certainly hog the bandwidth.
After considering these things, there might be some further troubleshooting steps to look at.
Cheers,
Rodney

Null modem connection under OS X

I have a G4 upgraded Powermac 9500 running Jaguar with the help of XpostFacto and would like to use a serial printer cable to connect to my old Powerbook 180. Is a null modem connection possible under OS X? Works fine when booted into OS 9.

Airport Extreme(SW) keeps dropping the WAN connection under "heavy" load

Hey,
Have had this problem ever since I got the Airport Extreme when it first came out and I got it.
The problem is this : The connection will work just fine for ages, but if I end up downloading something using (primarily this is the problem) torrents and I end up getting a rather good speed on it the airport will all of the sudden stop getting data from the WAN(ADSL modem connected to it through the WAN connection) and the Airport will have to be restarted. Some days it will have to be restarted up towards 15 times a day.
The Airport remains accessible through the LAN connection, as well as through the WiFi when it has failed like this so I can go in through the Airport Admin Utility and restart the unit without any problems whatsoever. The modem does not need restart or reiniting either.
The problem occurs no matter of if I am on the hard wired (LAN) connection or the WiFi connection. If I download something using a torrent that is high speed, especially if its more then one torrent at the same time (say 4 torrents each running at 200-300kbps therefor peaking at the roof of what my DSL connection can handle) then it will absolutely lock up after a minute or so. If I only do surfing or 'ordinary' work then there is no problem.
The problem is easily repeated.
* If I connect my laptop by wire to the modem directly without the airport in between there will be no problem.
* I have software reseted the Airport many times to attempt to fix the problem when it has gotten on my nerves with no positive or changing result.
* I have the latest available from Apple firmware(5.6) installed on the Airport.
* I have no 'weird' or abnormal settings set on the Airport, and no neighbors playing tricks on me - This problem was with me when I used the airport fully locked down in a office environment and then went with it when I moved my airport unit out of my office in to my home.
* I have no other wifi units in the house that may cause problems, no bluetooth phones running amok.
Airport details:
Apple Airport Extreme Base Station
Firmware Version: 5.6
Wireless Security : Not currently enabled
Wireless Channel : 1 (automatic)
Built in modem : No
Prod # : M8930LL/A (A-1034)

Hi guys,
Recently I bought AirPort Extreme 802.11n Base Station (Gigabit, MB053LL/A), and
seems, I have very similar problem with yours. Internet connection from my ISP over WAN is dropped after few hours of being idle. The router successfully receives its IP settings from provider's DHCP, eveyithing is working fine at first and as long as I have some inet activity. Then I disconnect, or sleep my laptops, and when I'm back - WAN provides no Internet traffic at all It looks like WAN is not functioning or blocked in someway. AirPort Utility and logs show no problems, all statuses are good, correct WAN IP settings are shown in the utility.
Sometimes it helps to plug-out/in Ethernet cable to WAN port, but more often only full router restart helps (with around 10-20 secs of outage). BTW, WiFi connection between the router and laptops is pretty stable and causes absolutely no probs. HDD connected to the router works good also.
My firmware is 7.2.1 (gigabit), and reading above posts I tried to downgrade to 7.2. It didn't fix the problem So well there are no earlier firmware versions for this AEBS model to try.
Does anybody have ideas about it?
(I understand you guys mostly wrote about 100Mbit version of AEBS)
Thanks you,
Strim

Iomega network drive no longer connects under iTunes 10.5 - lost access to all my songs. Anyone else having problems with iTunes 10.5 / IOS 5?

I have an Iomega 500Gb network drive (Connects via CAT5 cable to hub) It contains all of the music in my iTunes. It worked fine until I upgraded iTunes to 10.5 (and installed IOS5 / iCloud). Now, I can no longer access ANY of the music. The drive shows as a device in iTunes, but when I click it, it displays the songs for a split second, but they then disappear and I connot access them. The Iomega drive functions normally when accessed via a Windows browser.
Anyone else with this problem?
regards Steve

FYI: It seems it was a network problem with my WinXP PC. After complete deletion and new installation of XP and iTunes my iPhone will be recognized correctly, Wifi synchronization works (mostly) fine.

Desktop app store won't connect under proxy

My company recently instituted a corporate proxy and a few apps have been having difficulty with it. The app store is one of these. It just won't connect to anything - even the Help option just sits there "downloading latest help".
I have set up in my Network preference pane to connect HTTP and HTTPS to our proxy on port 80. Is there another port I need to set up here so the app store can connect as well?

Guess what... 10.6.8 update fixes this!
I still can't get MobileMe to connect though.

CSM-S connections under Redundancy

We have installed two redundant Catalyst 6506E with CSM-S modules.
Now I can see that CSM-S #1 is active and CSM-S #2 is standby. Nevertheless I can see with "show mod csm 3 vserver" that there are a number of connections on the vservers on CSM-S #2, while there are no connections on the CSM-S #1.
Can anyone explain this behavior?
Thank you.
Martin Funke.

You probably have 'replicate csrp' configured on 1 or more Vservers. If that is true, the connections you are seeing are the result of session replication - i.e. the primary CSM telling the standby CSM what load balancing decisions he has made. In the event of a primary CSM failure, your standby CSM has all of the replicated sessions ready to go.
