Did i break my network port?

So since i got the MBP i use the wireless network connection. Over a friends house, he said he could not get it to connect with a wire. About 2 weeks ago, I tried to plug in a USB cable into the ethernet port. It bent the pins. Can i just bend the pins back? Could I have shorted something?
I really have not found anything small enough to get in there.

just an update.
I finally got a chance to goto the apple store. They booted the MBP from a imac hard drive using the 1394 port. My network card would work. so, they think its a software issue. So I have instructions on restoring the system while keeping my data. Something about Archive and Install.
I'm going to back up all my stuff anyway, so I'll get to that in a few days.

Which network port do you use on Neo2 Plat ?

Do you guys use the nvidia network port or the realtek gigabit network port?...which is better

I also read that the NV port had less overhead somehow, and might be preferred if you only needed one connection. Unfortunately, mine was plagued with short delays when browsing and frequent disconnects while gaming or downloading. BIOS and driver updates did not help. I also tried the manual override on speed/duplex and other settings with no improvement. So, I use the Realtek with no problems whatsoever. I disabled the Nvidia LAN in BIOS, along with all my other unwanted onboard systems.

I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro- can not work on FCP simultaneously when my network ports are on (open). How do I go about changing this?

Hi!
I have 2 IMacs and MacBook Pro and can not work simultaneously on FCP on all workstations when the network port is open. Can anyone help me on this?

Did you purchase Final Cut Pro from the Mac app store? Or install it from disk? If from disk, you may have installed it on all machines using the same serial number, and using all of them simultaneously violates the license agreement. If you purchase from the App store the licensing is different and that may not apply.

Did i break it?

ok well i lost that little cap a while ago and the usb port kept coming undone and would expose that film thing inside the ipod. it was all fine until it actually came off. i managed to put it together and duct tape it (i know) and it plays and the lights come on and everything but when i put it in the computer no light comes on. is this a computer problem or did i break something?

It sounds like you broke something. As a matter of fact, you admit that you broke something.
The questions are really whose fault is it and who's going to pay for it? You can start asking those questions using the links on this page.

Did I Break My Mac?

I installed a driver a couple days ago and since then, I've noticed a lot of strange things happening with my computer.
Many common keyboard strokes using "shift" and "command" seem to be broken. Every time I restart my computer, my Airport is turned off and I have to go into the network diagnostics to set up my router. Also upon restarting, my disc drive opens and shuts automatically, and my "music" folder auto-opens on the desktop. There are some other strange behaviors dealing with my mouse as well.
It seems obvious that the driver messed up all of these functions, it's very bizarre. Since there isn't a driver rollback option with Macs, I'm not sure what to do. I did delete the driver install package. I've also tried a PRAM reset and a Disk Utility repair. I should note that this driver didn't mess anything up on my older computer (iMac G5).
Any ideas what I can do to fix this? Did I break my Mac?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The developer really should have implemented this as a Preference Pane and not a kernel extension.
Assuming it is a kernel extension, though, it lives in a subfolder in one of two places:
/Library
/System/Library
Search these two folders and their subfolders for the terms "xbox" or "360" and CAREFULLY examine any files you find with matching names. If you see one that is an obvious match, put it in the trash and reboot. You may also want to check the file creation/modification dates to ensure that you're tossing out the right file.
By "an obvious match," I mean something like "xbox360crappydriver.kext" -- you don't want to risk throwing away something you need.
P.S. If it is just a Preference Pane, simply visit:
/Library/PreferencePanes and
(Your home folder)/Library/PreferencePanes
and throw away any files with names that clearly reference the controller.

Can Appletalk be active on two network ports for printing?

Here's the core of my question: Can I keep Appletalk active on my Airport network port (in order to print to a wireless print server on an HP Laserjet 2100M) and simultaneously keep it active on my Ethernet port (in order to print to a Brother HL 2700CN networked through my router)?
Nothing I have read gives me to believe I can have Appletalk active on more than one network port. If that is the case, my second question would be:
I there some other way to print to either printer on the network without having to turn off Appletalk manually on the ports not being used?
Here's the configuration I'm facing
G4 Quicksilver 10.3.9
HP Laserjet 2100M with wireless Belkin DP-311P print server
Brother HL-2700CN wired to Belkin Wireless-G router
I would appreciate any help on this, even if it's the simple response, "No, you can't print to both without manually de/activating Appletalk."

for file sharing between computers running 10.4.x and 10.3.x.
actually, not for that either. 10.4 has dropped support for AppleTalk-only File Sharing to make way for Intel Macs and their protocols. 10.4 does still support AppleTalk printing.
AppleTalk would be required to print to older Apple LaserWriters that do not support LPD/LPR printing. In all but two cases, the printers have no Ethernet port, so a Bridge device or software would be required:
Personal LaserWriter NTR
Personal LaserWriter 320
LaserWriter Select 310
LaserWriter Select 360
LaserWriter 4/600 PS
LaserWriter IIf
LaserWriter IIg (Ethernet)
LaserWriter Pro 600
LaserWriter Pro 630 (Ethernet)
Some third-party wireless Access points do not pass AppleTalk packets at all, and cannot be used to print to that class of older LaserWriters.
In 10.3.9 and previous, AppleTalk may still be used for File Sharing with older Macs.

LaserJet Pro 400 MFP not working on the network port that works HELP !!!

I have a new LaserJet Pro 400 MFP (M425dn) USB works fine. When I remove the USB and plug it into the network Port no network can be found - It doesn't pick up any activity. So I test the network with my laptop ( connectivity is confirmed ). The network port is working properly- I plug in the LaserJet Pro 400 MFP (M425dn) and restart it - no network activity. I tried several ports in the front office and the printer can't connect to the network. BUT HERES THE FUNNY THING . If I take the printer to the back room where the router/switch is and plug it directly into the switch
( the same port as the front port ) it works !!!!! so why doesn't the printer work at the front office network port, where all the other devices work just fine using the same port ? But it will work, at the router/switch using the same port lol this is drving me crazy
any help ? ? ?

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

Sun Cluster with Netapps - iSCSI quorum and network port

I am proposing Sun cluster with Netapps 3020C.
May I know
1) OS is Solaris 9. The SUN OSP says that we need to obtain an iSCSI license from Netapps. Is this the iSCSI initiator software for Solaris 9 to talk to the NAS quorum? Or do I need to purchased a 3rd party iSCSI initiator ?
2) We provide 2 network ports for the Netapps private NAS LAN. Is it a must to cater another dedicated network port for the iSCSI communication with the quorum?
3) If we need purchase a 3rd party iSCSI initiator, where can we get this? I have checked Qlogic and Cisco, they are both not suitable for my solution.
Appreciate your help

Hi,
1) OS is Solaris 9. The SUN OSP says that we need to
obtain an iSCSI license from Netapps. Is this the
iSCSI initiator software for Solaris 9 to talk to the
NAS quorum? Or do I need to purchased a 3rd party
iSCSI initiator ?Have a look at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7957/6mn8834r2?a=view
I read the "Requirements When Configuring NAS Devices as Quorum Devices"
section as this is the license for the iSCSI inititator software.
So you need to enable iSCSI on the netapps box and need to install a package from netapps (NTAPclnas) on the cluster nodes.
2) We provide 2 network ports for the Netapps
private NAS LAN. Is it a must to cater another
dedicated network port for the iSCSI communication
with the quorum?Have a look at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0580/6n30eahcc?a=view#ch4_quorum-9
I don't read such a requirement there.
3) If we need purchase a 3rd party iSCSI initiator,
where can we get this? I have checked Qlogic and
Cisco, they are both not suitable for my solution.
Appreciate your helpI don't thibk you need such a 3rd party iSCSI initiator, unless this is stated in the above docs.

Please help...Always detect new network port and......

Hi, can anyone help me...everytime i start up my imac, i need to open up system preferences "network" and it always show : "A new network port has been detected:
Built-in Ethernet 1
Please verify that it is configured correctly, then press Apply Now to activate it.
And then i will have to click appply now on this "built in ethernet1" so that i can access to internet. After that even i can go internet already, when i open up system preferences "network", the same message(as above) appears.

Have you run any maintenance routines to check for software issues?
Have you changed your network hardware,i.e. DSL interface or router recently?

Macbook pro "breaks" wireless network

greetings,
whenever i'm home, i use my macbook pro to connect to our wireless network, a network that is usually only used by PCs (one running Network Magic).
However, whenever i connect, it works great but sporadically it will "break" the network, causing the router to be reset. when it's down, it doesn't work for any computer. but this only happens when my computer is connected. also, this is the second router, so it shouldn't be that.
is this caused by my wireless card or os?
Message was edited by: mfeury

I've been experiencing a very similar issue.
I have a MBP from Nov 2007. I have a Billion 7402GL wireless/modem-router.
I have a 3 year old Acer Aspire 5672 that I am using as nothing more than a Windows Media Center gateway. In other words the Acer's wireless connects to my main desktop in the next room, where all my TV shows are stored and shared out to it. It is then connected to the AV inputs on my TV.
For the last month or so, if I am streaming something through to the Acer, if I then power up my MBP (where the WLAN is set to immediately connect) it appears that the MBP immediately consumes up all the signal/bandwidth to the wireless router, because the playback on the Acer either stutters, or freezes, which then crashes MCE.
However once I disable WLAN on the MBP, the issue goes away.
The strange thing is I have not altered the modem's firmware, nor any drivers on the Acer. I'd be willing to blame it on a Windows Update for Vista, but that wouldn't explain why I only suffer issues when the MBP's WLAN is operational.

Attempting to extend wifi w/ Airport Express breaks existing network

I am attempting to wirelessly extend/repeat a Wi-Fi network that is running from a 4th generation time capsule using a 1st Generation N Airport Express (model A1264).
Whenever i configure the airport express to extend the network, it breaks the network. all existing connections get dropped, the SSID is seen but you cannot connect to it.
If i unplug the airport express then everything works fine again.
both units are running the most recent firmware, i have done a factory reset on both units and set them up from scratch again.
i have confirmed i'm using the correct encryption (WPA2) and the proper key/password.
Any ideas? this doesn't make much sense aside from either the time capsule or airport express are defective.
thank you.

Windows.
somehow it magically fixed itself after leaving the airport express unplugged from power for 20 minutes.
after letting it sit unplugged for awhile it worked normally without needing to change any settings.
thanks for your response.

Hp compaq d610 d40 laptop network port doesn't wake up

I have tried looking for a fix for this and can't find one so if there is one and i've missed, it my apologies but basically...
I have a hp compaq d610 model d40 and with the basic windows xp installation and the default drivers (hp) on, when the system goes into stand and then is brought out of the standby mode everything wakes up except for the network port and the only way to get this to wake up is to go into device manage and scan for hardware changes or reboot.
I have tried different drivers, bios changes (not update) with no luck but strangelly enough the other 3 makes and models of the same laptop work fine.
Now, before I look into bios updates has anybody come across this?
Cheers

Can you split the wired network ports through a sub router in the time caps

I have recently switched my office from PC to Macs, (MacBookPro and IMac, with a Time Capsule (1Tb).
I have the three wired network ports allocated to some newtwork based equipment and was wondering if I can put an network splitter in (such as a multiport D-link) to create another two wired ports?
Thanks for any response!

Hello JeremyHeighton. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Yes, you can add an Ethernet switch to any of the Time Capsule's LAN ports to increase the number of available LAN ports for additional wired clients.

How can I change network port configuration default setting?

Hello,
I am having trouble connecting to the internet. When I try to connect, it dials, rings, and then has a long tone, then disconnects. Preferences>Network>Assist Me>Diagnostics>Location>Network Port has Built in Ethernet chosen. I unchoose it, choose Internal Modem. It goes on to try to connect, than asks me if I have DSL or Cable (I don't) I choose no, asks me if there is anything else to restart, no, I choose. It then says to check configuration. I go back till the location page then continue, continue, then it connects. It won't stay selected to Internal Modem. I have checked its box and dragged it to the top (and unchecked and dragged Ethernet to the bottom). This happens 90% of the time but not always. I can connect to the internet, but have to go through this. I don't have Built in Ethernet.
Thanks,
Maria

Open Network preferences. Select Internal Modem from the list and click on the Configure button. Click on the PPP tab. Fill in the required information for your dial up ISP including your username and password (for your dial up account.) Check the box to save your password. Click on the Apply button. Click on the TCP/IP tab and select DHCP from the Configure IPv4 drop down menu, click on the Apply button. Click on the Modem tab and select the modem from the drop down menu that corresponds to the one you are using or have installed internally in your computer. Click on the Apply button. Quit Network preferences. This should have you all set. Use Internet Connect to initiate the dial up.
