Create a trusted network?

Three weeks ago I purchased a new wireless router (Belkin 54 G) and have had problems with getting it setup properly from the beginning.
Every time I wake my computer up I get the error message; "None of your trusted wireless networking can be found. Would you like to join the open wireless network named 'belkin54g'?"
That is my wireless router. I have been struggling with trying to figure out how to make it a 'trusted wireless network', but not only that I will see it in my list, select it, and the signal strength will be full, but yet I still can't connect to the internet.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. - I'm also wanting to WEP Password protect my wireless network and when I've tried to do that, once the router 'reboots' I can never connect again. Thus making me reset the router manually.

WEP isn't very secure. Make sure you turn on either WPA or WPA2. They are ALOT more secure than the old WEP.

Airport Extreme: "None of your trusted networks could be found..."

Every morning when I start up my MacBook Pro -- keeping in mind, my Airport Extreme (802.11n) is already on and has the green light -- I am greeted with the message "None of your trusted networks could be found. Would you like to join the network "NETGEAR"?" (sometimes it's a different other network, but always something of my neighbor's). I always select "NO" and within a few moments am able to readily connect to my own network.
My own network is set up as the only preferred network. I have no trouble communicating with it after the above events. The same issue happens with my wife's iMac (17" Intel 2GHz).
I thought this was par for the course -- a few others on another Mac forum mentioned the same issue -- but yesterday setting up a friend's Airport Extreme (802.11n), with a mixed network (802.11b & 802.11g Macs), they all recognized and joined the newly-created network without a hiccup.
Am I missing a setting somewhere? Like I said, in System Preferences-->Network, I have my home network set as the only preferred network and said network is always on and has the green light.

"Am I missing a setting somewhere?"
Hi coreworksnet!
You can use the "Options..." button located below the list of preferred networks.
A drop-down box gives you the option of making a new selection for the "If no recent networks are found:" selector, which has a default setting of "Ask before joining an open network." Instead direct your Mac to "Keep looking for recent networks."
Once you make your choices, click on the blue "OK" button, and after the drop-down box retreats, click the "Apply Now" button to make that change to your configuration. Your Mac will no longer look at another network. Your AirPort icon will still display other available networks, but AirPort will not ask if you want to join, nor will it try to join any network other than those on your list of preferred networks.
This may not agree with everyone when traveling and searching for available networks, but it's easy to change and the results are totally predictable.
Ok, that'll prevent what you're being asked, but to resolve the hanging issue that will then occur when it should instead be joining your network instantly, you'll want to use the above suggestion by James.
Let us know how you make out, as there are a couple other steps to take if need be.

What role does a trust contact when creating a trust

When I create a trust between ForestA/DomainA in networkA to ForestB/DomainB/NetworkB
Does it contact the closest GC or does it contact the PDC role?

So on my internal forest/domain on physical network (A)
I have a DC which pretty much holds all the roles
the on another physical network call it (B) I have another writable DC which does not hold any roles other than GC.
then on the DMZ network of this physical network (B), I have a new forest/domain and a new writable DC
the writable DC on this network B has rules to allow communication between the DMZ network DC and the writable DC. When creating a trust between this DMZ DC on network (B) does the writable DC need communication to the PDC on network (A) ?
I cannot validate the trust right now.

Network Gurus: How to create a "virtual" network adapter?

We have an older Xserve (G4) with dual ethernet ports, running OS X Server 10.4 and FileMaker Server 5.5. One of the ethernet ports is connected to an internal network (behind the firewall), the other to an external network (in front of the firewall). There are appropriate IP addresses on each port. Thing is, I need FileMaker Server to be able to serve databases on BOTH network ports and it doesn’t seem to be capable. There’s a “preferred IP address” setting which lets me select the internal or external addresses, but not both.
Is there a way to create a "virtual" network adapter that I can point FileMaker Server to, but have all traffic from both ethernet ports go through this "virtual" adapter? Sort of like a 'software router'?

IMHO, a far, far better solution would be to turn on the VPN server built-into your Mac OS X Server.
That way remote users can connect to the VPN (automatically, even) and get assigned an IP address in the internal network. You gain a high degree of security knowing that only known, trusted external users can access your database. If you do configure Filemaker to listed on your public interface you have no practical way of preventing rogue users from accessing your data.
Since your server already has the VPN server installed, and any modern (or even semi-modern) client should be able to connect to it, I wouldn't look any further.

Is there a way to create a virtual network using C# and the Azure SDK/API?

I don't see a clear way to create an Azure Virtual Network using the SDK.
I have all the methods to create the virtual network configuration, but no way to submit it:

NetworkListResponse.Gateway Gateway = new NetworkListResponse.Gateway();
IList<NetworkListResponse.LocalNetworkSite> LocalSites = new List<NetworkListResponse.LocalNetworkSite>();
IList<NetworkListResponse.Connection> Connections = new List<NetworkListResponse.Connection>();
VirtualNetworkAddressPrefixes.Add("a.b.c.d/cidr");
DNSServers.Add(new NetworkListResponse.DnsServer() { Name = "TestDNS1", Address = "a.b.c.d" });
Subnets.Add(new NetworkListResponse.Subnet() { Name = "Subnet-1", AddressPrefix = "a.b.c.d/cidr" });

I have also created the entire XML response and sent it to the NetworkManagementClient -> Networks.SetConfiguration() method, but it appears this command expects the virtual network to already be in existence. If anyone could give guidance, it would be
appreciated.

Hi,
As discuss above , we have to create the XML response ,before that first you have to
GetConfiguration() details of existing virtual network.
string.format("@<NetworkConfiguration xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2011/07/NetworkConfiguration'>

How do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

how do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

Hello:
To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.
There are some pretty good tutorials/articles in the knowledge base articles.

Creating my home network, Apple Airport Extreme & Sky

Hello all,
Hoping somebody can help, I’m attempting to set up a network in my home that works a bit like this.
Ok, we’ve had sky broadband for a few months now and have the new grey Sagem router to go with it. I also have the new Apple Airport Extreme station (and an Oldish BTHomehub v1.5, the white one… just kicking about incase its useful!)
What I want to achieve is use Time Machine on my Macbook Pro to wirelessly backup over the network to a Hard Drive plugged into the AE. I want the AE to be upstairs away from the sky router and I also want to be able to plug Ethernet devices into the AE to use the internet (somehow acquired from the router downstairs I assume) like an Xbox, laptop or anything else I might need really).
*Its important to me that the AE isn’t downstairs in the same room as the router, otherwise I would just connect it with a cable and create a wireless network from that.
On top of that (stay with me….) if the AE has the functionality to extend the wireless network further to hit the low signal spots that would help.
I’ve been reading around the internet and various support sites. I know a little about this stuff but I’m not an expert on networking, I know nothing about the different signals N, g, b etc or how IP assigning works. I read a little about WDS networking but I’m not sure which direction to head.
This is probably the closest thing I’ve found to what I’m talking about, If the bottom hub was the sky router and the top hub was the Apple AE.

Appreciate any suggestions, thanks.

The best way by far is to run ethernet as a kind of backbone between the two stories.. on one storey setup the AE and the other you setup the TC.
I have no idea if one is the main router or not.. or both are bridged.. that doesn't really matter.. the principle is.. one router per network. So whichever is not the main router change to bridge mode.
Both should create a wireless network. You can use roaming setup, where both use identical names and identical security. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260

How would you use these Apple devices to create the best network?

I have the following devices and want to create the best network for my 3 story home:
Time Capsule 3GB, latest generation (needs to be located on middle floor in a corner room by the Comcast modem)
Time Capsule late 2009
Airport Express 2010
More data, the devices that connect to this network:
New MacBook pro (in same room with new Time Capsule)
New iMac (in same room with Time Capsule)
2009 iMac (on second floor)
Iphone 5 and 5s
ipad Minis
ipad Airs
Apple TV second generation
I've done some testing and the signal is pretty good on the second floor (meaning that the download speeds on the second floor iMac are the same as those in the same room with the new Time Capsule). But the upstairs bedrooms have speeds cut by 50%.
There is no reasonable way to connect the new Time Capsule by ethernet to any other devices.
Would it be helpful to extend the wireless network "wirelessly" with the old Time Capsule in an area upstairs with strong signal? Would the old TC then "re-pump" the signal into the bedrooms which don't have line of sight with the new TC?
How would I best do this?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Time Capsule 3GB, latest generation (needs to be located on middle floor in a corner room by the Comcast modem)
Time Capsule late 2009
Airport Express 2010
So, the old Time Capsule and AirPort Express are near the new Time Capsule and connected to it with an Ethernet cable.....or are the old Time Capsule and Express not even in use at all?
Would it be helpful to extend the wireless network "wirelessly" with the old Time Capsule in an area upstairs with strong signal?
While it would be better if you could connect the old Time Capsule to the new Time Capsule using a wired Ethernet connection, the old Time Capsule might help things out a bit in the bedroom area if it is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the new Time Capsule.
This is one of those situations where performance cannot be predicted and you simply have to try it out in your home to see how well it will work. It could not hurt to use the old TC to extend the signal wirelessly to the bedroom area, if you want to give that a try.
You did not mention the AirPort Express, but it could possibly be located downstairs if you need more wireless signal coverage in a given area. The trick again, is to find a location where the Express can both receive a strong wireless signal and also provide additional wireless coverage.
Setting up the old Time Capsule or Express will only take a few minutes if you want to give things a try. Post back if you need more details on "how" to do this.

Time Capsule - Can it run as DHCP router, create a wireless network and plug into switch for wired network all at the same time?

I have a closet with Wired connections from all over the house terminating in it. I also have the internet modem and a switch in this closet. My old setup was a netgear in the closet creating a wireless network and also feeding the Ethernet ports all over the house. In my room, I had an Airport express (a month old) bridging the wifi to make the wifi network larger. The Express was hard wired from the wall and my mac mini was using it's wifi (printer was plugged into other ethernet port). Everything was working great.
Fast forward to last week. My Netgear died. So, I bought a time capsule. My plan was to move the Express to the closet and have it create the wifi network and also then run cat 5 cord from express to the switch to feed all the wired wall plugs. Reset it and set it up to create the wifi network as well as DCHP NAT. Wireless was running great on it. Then I plugged in the Cat 5 in the second Ethernet Port to the switch. Wifi stopped working and none of the computers would connect using wired connections either. They would see a 'network' but nothing would work. I would unplug the Cat 5 feeding the swtich and the wireless would start working again. Plug the Cat 5 back in and wireless would stop.
So I thought I would try the Time Capsule in the closet and see if I could get it to work. Pretty much the same thing, except at this point I figured out if I went in and told it NOT to create a wifi network the wired portion worked fine and all the wired computers in the house worked fine. Of course, then I didn't have Wifi.
I'm not clueless when it comes to networking, but I can NOT figure this out! Can either the Time Capsule or Express Create the wifi network AND also feed the data to the switch for all the wired computers?
To simplify this is what I want my end result to be. I prefer the Time Capsule to be the wireless connection extender, but if I have to have the Express do it, I'm fine with that.
1. Express in the closet creating the wifi network as well as feeding the data to the wired connections via my switch.
2. have the Time capsule in my room at the opposite end of the house plugged into the hard wired connection to extend the wrieless network as well as have wired connections such as my printer and my Mac Mini.
If I can get #1 to work, I don't think I'll have any problems with #2. Help!

I have an equally complex setup with a managed switch actually but I have never seen the TC have this kind of issue.
What I do notice is you have changed the TC from defaults.. you are using a non-default IP range.
I have run across issues like this where people move things from default.
I would like you to start over.. factory reset the TC. That will set it back to default router mode.
Do the min setup on the TC..
1. Change all names from what you were using. That includes the TC name and wireless name/s
Make them short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric because that is the correct way to network. Apple default names with spaces and apostrophes are fundamentally bad.
2. With just the TC plugged into the switch.. and a single computer connected by ethernet. Power cycle the whole network.. this allows the switch to clear all the old MAC address.
3. Test on the computer just ethernet. Turn the wireless off.
The computer must use dhcp and must get an ip from the TC.
It has to get the correct Router.. ie Gateway.. I wish apple could stick with proper network terminology.
And it must get same address or valid DNS server address/es.
If it fails.. please plug ethernet directly to the TC.. bypassing the switch.
You should get the standard IP addressing and internet connection.
If not please post the screenshot from the Mac of the network preferences showing the ethernet setup.
I need to see what address it does get. I need you to make sure the ethernet is the TOP of the list. So rearrange the order of network connection. With the airport off it should just go to the top of the list.
If it appears to be working .. but a browser cannot connect, open a terminal and ping an internet address.
Ping the actual gateway address the ISP gives you and ping the ISP dns address.

I have Fios. I have the TC connected via ethernet to the Fios router. TC WAN port ethernet to Fios Lan port. Then I just have the TC create a wireless network that is different than the Fios wireless network. How do I set up an Airport Extreme to the TC?

The Airport Extreme is a 4th Gen unit. I just want to keep the TC wireless name to go further through my house.

The Ethernet connection will be from one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme.
Then you can use AirPort Utility - Manual Setup to configure the AirPort Extreme as follows:
Click the Wireless tab located just below the row of icons
Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network (Not "extend a wireless network" as many users incorrectly think)
Wireless Network Name = Same name as your TC network
No check mark needed next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Radio Mode = Automatic
Channel = Automatic
Wireless Security = Same setting as the TC network
Wireless Password = Same setting as the TC network
Confirm Password
Click the Internet icon
Click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Update to save settings and restart the entire network
Computers on the TC network will now be able to move to the area where the AirPort Extreme is located and not have to "switch" networks. This is known as a "roaming" network.

I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use?

I have an airport extreme and express, if I use the extreme as a base station connected to my old router can I use the express to extend the signal while also creating a new network that only I can use? Essentially having two wifi connection off the same network? If so how do I set this up?

Extending using a wireless connection always results in a performance compromise.
If the Express is going to extend using a wireless connection, then the Express will need to be located about half way between the AirPort Extreme and the general area where you need more wireless coverage. The more that you have line-of-sight between the Extreme and Express, the better the network will operate.
Remember......the Express can only "extend" the quality and signal speed that it receives, so it needs to be located where it can get a very good signal from the Extreme. Although Apple cleverly uses the term "extend", a more accurate term for the Express would be "repeater".
If the Express will extend by connecting to the Extreme using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection......highly recommended for best performance.....then the Express can be located exactly where you need more wireless coverage. There is no signal loss at all through the Ethernet cable, so the Express gets a full speed signal no matter where it might be located.
Post back to let us know which way to you want to go.

How can I create a guest network on an airport extreme that connects wirelessly with a Timecapsule

I have a Timecapsule in one place of our house, that is connected to Internet. I need to extend the range of my network: 1. my private network needs to get to a remote location to make connection with speakers (Itunes). for this I need to first extend the range of my private network, because the speakers are too far away from the TC. 2. I need to set up a guest network, but at quite some distance from my TC, in an other part of the house, too far away from the TC (so a guest network on the TC won't do).
For this, upon advice from an apple store, I bought an airport extreme, which I have placed on a location where it can connect to the TC, to extend the private network. On the location of the speakers, I have an aiport express (connecting to the extreme), to play music from Itunes. The setup at this moment is: TC makes connection to internet, and broadcasts a private network. Extreme connects to this private network, and broadcasts it further to the Airport express, that captures it and plays the music. I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express. Is this possible? How can I do this? Thanks for the help !

I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express. Is this possible?
Unfortunately, the "main" router...your TC in this case....is the only device that can create a Guest Network, assuming that the TC is connected to a simple modem.
Unfortunately again, the Guest Network cannot be extended. Your only real option here is to create a Guest Network on the TC and hope that it will have sufficient coverage for your needs.

How can I create a wireless network in my office for my itouch?

I am in an office Windows environment with a G3 Mac that is connected to the internet via the Ethernet port. I can get to the internet with my Mac through a Proxy server. I have tried to setup up Airport to get through the firewall without any success. Is it possible to create a wireless network for my itouch if I install an Airport card in the Mac, start Internet Sharing and install Airport Express? I have no experience with the Internet Sharing options in OSX. I am assuming that my Mac with an Airport card would pass the internet connection to Airport Express. Airport Express would then create a wireless network for my itouch to connect to the internet. Any advice is appreciated as I would really like to get to the internet with my itouch.

You don't need the AirPort Express to do this.
You can set your Mac to share it's wired connection over the wireless port and the iTouch can connect directly to the Mac.
You could also do it with the AirPort Express, but you don't need to - it's overkill for what you've described.

Can I create an extended network with a brand new TC and 2 first gen. AE units?

I purchased a TC 2TB yesterday and replaced my non apple router with the TC. I have 2 older AE units that I suspect to be first generation. TC is in basement and I have placed AE in garage where I spend most of my time. Signal in garage is weak and lags. Air tunes off of AE in garage connected to boom box works fine. I run AirTunes from 3 iPhones, iPod touch, and 2 iPads with no problems. The options in manual setup for the AE don't offer make this an extended network, I suspect because they are too old? I don't want to create a WDS network and sacrifice the bandwidth. My main machine is an iMac 27 that is one year old, this is in the kitchen pretty much midway between the TC and the AE in the garage, if that makes any difference?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

The options in manual setup for the AE don't offer make this an extended network, I suspect because they are too old?
Please take a look at the faint print on the side of both AirPort Express (AX) devices that you have to identify the Model No.
You will need # A 1264 to do what you want. If you have # A 1084 or similar, the devices that you have are not compatible with the "extend a wireless network" setup.
What are your findings?

I have a canon scanner MP560 wireless. Needed to create new wireless network and now my computer can't find the scanner/fax..

My iMac doesnt' see my Canon MP560 wi fi scanner ever since I created a wireless network in my house. Can't find a way to change whatever settings i need to to connect the scanner. help.

Well let's see if we can help you get set up. Have you got any 2.4 GHz cordless phones in the house and if so try unplugging them and do a hard reset of the express.
1. unplug the express
2. press the reset button
3. while pressing the reset button plug in the base station
4. keep holding the rest button till you see 4 green lights flash
you may have to hold it for 30 seconds or so
if this doesn't work try plugging the express in right beside the computer and then going through the airport setup assistant
Good luck
