direct connection means you could use a old pc as a router/firewall which will have far more power to route packets than most simple routers - do that myself at work, cable modem > router pc that splits the connection between the 6 different lans at work (yes 6 lan cards in one pc

  • Can someone tell me how to connect my MacBook directly to my DSL cable modems BYPASSING by wireless connection?SING

    Hi all.  Can someone tell me how connect my MacBook directly to my DSL cable modem bypassing my wireless connection?  thanks in advance. 
    (the Maverick upload that was pushed out last month will not load for me -- keeps starting and stopping.  just read a review where someone had the same issue and once they bypassed their wireless connection, it worked just fine.)

  • Wireless modem not connecting but direct connect is

    I have a WRT54G modem and it works with a direct connection but not with the wireless.  We had a few power failures yesterday which is all I can think of that caused the problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    If you are able to go online wired from the router then,try to adjust the wireless settings on the router...
    Open the router setup page and Under the Wireless tab,Change the SSID to some unique name,Change the Wireless Channel to 11-2.462GHz and click on save settings.Under the subtab Wireless Security check the security key.
    Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • How to connect my USB internet modem to iPad2?

    hi,
    I am looking for way to connect my USB internet modem stick to iPad2; I understand one way is to get a pocket Internet hub and thru that I can connect via WiFi.
    But is there any way that we can directly connect the USB modem to iPad and use it?

    A 3G wireless router may do the job. I have used that years ago.

  • I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

    I have a Power PC G4 which is running on OSX 10.5.8, it has the AirPort utility but cannot connect to the internet as my iMac can, I think I might need an AirPort Card? Is that the case or do I need something different to connect to a wireless modem?

    Welcome!
    Only one variant of the PowerMac G4 could use the faster Airport Extreme Card. The rest used the original Airport card that is pretty slow.
    To get fast wireless without buying more than one thing, consider this:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Edimax/EW7722IN/
    It goes in an available PCI slot
    There are USB solutions also. However, all PowerMac G4 towers had only slower USB 1.1 ports, so any USB wireless adaptor can only run at about wireless 'B" speeds (slow) unless you also install a PCI USB 2.0 adaptor card. Doing that would allow a USB wireless adaptor to run at its maximum rated speed. These items working together would accomplish that:
    USB wireless "dongle:"
    Newer Technology MAXPower 802.11n/g/b USB Adapter + Plug and play direct or with extension cradle
    USB PCI adaptor:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/Search/Search.cfm?Ntk=Primary&Ns=P_Popularity%7c1&Ne=5 000&N=7069&Ntt=USB+PCI
    Each approach has its advantages. The PCI wireless card is a one-piece solution that takes up no desk space. The USB2 card+USB2 Dongle gives you more fast ports for transferring date from other external USB devices (primarily cameras and external hard drives) at hugely faster rates than can the original ports. I have a USB 2 PCI card in my G4 tower strictly for transferring images from my digital SLR camera in a timely manner.

  • L7680 Can't connect via Network works fine direct connected via USB Please Help!

    Greetings All,
    I have an HP L7680 that has been having this same problem since I purchased it and the only cure that has ever worked is to completley reload Windows XP and start over which I am very tired of reloading XP to resolve a printer problem.
    This has been posted by several other people but I don't see where anyone has posted a fix.
    When I first install the printer everything usualy works fine and it runs fine for a few mionths. Then the first indicatrion of a problem is the scanner quits working. Then when I try to reinstall the software the printer does not show up.  I read and tried every solution and have spent nuerous hours with HP support to no avail.
    The printer works fine direct connected via a USB cable and it works fine with two other computers on the same network. One of the other computers has the exact same OS and is the same HP model laptop.
    I don't think the uninstall is completley removing all the files or reinstalling everything fresh when I reload. I have tried the Level 1 through 4 uninstall utility posted on HP's site and have tried all sugestions posted in this forum.
    Below is a better rundown of the problem.
    When the Scan function is called, a "Scanning" window appears, and hangs
    I have an HP Laptop with XP32 Bit software
    Once the scanning window appears it stays there forever
    Only way to clear scanning page is to terminate hpoews01.exe with Task Manager
    Scanner does not show up in Paint or Photoshop ect.
    Web Scan Does work and printer shows up using IP address.
    Scanner shows up fine on a web page
    HP support in India has been no help and now my printer is out of warranty so even less help
    Thank you,
    Dave

    I had a similar problem with my OfficeJet L7680 and here's how I fixed it.  
    18APR10 - from Dan
         I lost my L7680 network link (using CAT5 from printer to router) and could not print to it over the network.  However, I could print from a PC with a USB cable directly to the printer, but there are currently three PCs connected wireless to the network.  I think I have a viable solution for anyone with the same problem and is not related to the operating system of the PCs.
         Originally, I went to the HP site and downloaded the program for the L7680, Critical Update to Enhance Reliability of Network and USB Connectivity and Improve System Responsive....  This worked wonders until my modem and/or router went down.  I could see ink levels from my PC, scan, print, and so on.  Then I somehow lost my network connection again.  When I checked the network settings on the L7680 printer panel (Setup, 5 - Network, 1 - View Network Settings, 2 - Display Wired Settings), I noticed a different IP address than the original 192.168.1.100.  Once I figured out how to reset the printer to that one, it connected and worked as it should. 
        Here's how to reset it:  1.  Power down all devices (wired and wireless) to the router (I even disconnected the printer power cord and CAT5 cable at the printer); 2. Power down the modem and router - wait a minute or so before powering back up;  3.  Power up the modem and give it a minute or so to go through system checks, which will normally acquire a new IP address from your ISP;  4. Power up the router and let it go through its system checks; 5.  Connect the CAT5 cable from the printer to the router and power it up before you power up and connect any other computers.  This should assign the printer the first IP address from the router, which should be 192.168.1.100.  Once the printer goes through its start-up checks, you can check its assigned IP address from its panel.  6.  Power up any other PCs or devices to the router.  They should be assigned successive IP address numbers from the router.  You can check these using a browser in the PC after typing in 192.168.1.1, logging in to the router, and checking the appropriate place in the router driver/software displayed in the browser.  I was not able to reassign IP addresses in my router's driver/software to individual devices, but this method did the trick.  I did not try to change the IP address of the printer from its panel to match what had been inadvertently reassigned to it.  That might be another option to synchronize the printer and router with the same IP address.  If the printer loses its connection again, you'll have to synchronize what the printer has with what the router shows.  This worked for me.

  • Can't make direct connection to router

    I cannot connect to Internet. The cable Internet router was connected to my Airport Extreme, but connection kept going down. Service guy tested all lines and put in new router with latest firmware. He then bypassed Airport extreme and made direct connection of router to IMac for testing. It worked for about an hour, then connection lost again (link light on router is down-Internet connection tested on IMac, but no connection detected). Put in new Ethernet cable, but no difference. Service guy uses MACS so tested my connection software and settings, but seems okay. Argh! I plug in PC laptop and connection with modem is fine. Service person said he has seen this before, IMac onboard card (ethernet) has failed.
    Is this possible? have rebooted, tried diagnostics cd, unplugged/plugged all cables, etc. IMac 2 yrs. old. How is this fixed & is it costly? Thanks.

    With Apple Care extended warranty it would be covered. I believe that the Ethernet port is on the logic board so that may need to be replaced. A new logic board is easily US$600.00.
    But your explanation is a bit hazy. First the wireless connection had issues and now the Ethernet has issues?

  • I have a Linksys Wrt54gs connected to a Cable modem. it w...

    i have a Linksys Wrt54gs connected to a Cable modem.
    it worked for about 8 months.
    My kid pressed a button by accident and now it won't work.
    the router just keeps resetting.
    i unplugged everything.
    conencted 1 computer, and everything is fine.
    Received DHCP address.
    Once i plug in a second computer it starts rebooting.
    Both computers are set to DHCP.
    NO internet connection is connected at this time for troubleshooting purposes.
    Nothing is connected to the ethernet port on the Linksys router (port for internet access), only 1 and 2 are connected.
    i reset the router and still nothing.
    i can connect 1 computer via wireless and 1 computer via direct connection and all is good. Once 2 devices are connected via direct connections it starts resetting.
    i can even connect the modem to the router (for internet access), and connect to the linksys router via wireless from my computer and get internet access.
    But once i direct connect 2 connections, the router starts resetting.
    i have reset and reboot it with every combination i can think of.

    Its good that its working now.
    If it happens again, try this :
    Press the reset button on the router for 30 seconds. The Power light will start flashing. Turn the Router and the Modem OFF. Turn the modem ON first, wait for 10 seconds, turn the router ON, wait for 10 seconds, you should be ONLINE !!!
    Do this when the computer os connected to the router with a cable.
    than on the computer open Internet Explorer and in the Address Bar type : 192.168.1.1 and hit enter.
    It'll ask for the password. The default password is admin.
    Once in the setup page. Click on the Wireless tab.
    In there Change the Network Mode to mixed. And change the SSID to your name.
    Change the Channel to 11. And Enable the SSID Broadcast.
    Save the settings here. After that Click on Wireless Security and configure it accordingly and Save the settrings.
    Than click on Advanced Wireless Settings. In there Disable the SES function.

  • Replacing Home Hub, Keeping OpenReach Modem

    I would like to swap out the HH3 for my Draytek 2820.
    Yesterday I set it up, using it's WAN2 configuration.
    When I finished setting it up when I opened any page I got this message, which was at address: http://62.6.38.125/index.html:
    You have been connected to this page due to one of the following reasons. You must now shut down your browser and Internet applications before attempting to reconnect.
    The BTWholesale access circuit to your Service Provider is currently down. 
    Your service should be resumed soon.Or
    You are testing your local connection to BT using 
    'bt_test_user@startup_domain'Or
    You are testing your connection to your Service Provider using 'bt_test_user@domain' where domain is your Service Provider domain name.Or
    Your Service Provider is currently unable to accept your connection request please wait until service is restored or contact your Service Provider for further information.Or
    You have attempted to access an invalid Service Provider domain.
    So, I assume my Draytek is talking to the OpenReach modem, and I am being apssed through to the BT network, but I am authenticating incorrectly.
    Can anyone guide me? On WAN2 I attempted to use PPPoE and entered my @btinternet.com username and password supplied when I started my order, with an MTU setting of 1400.
    Many thanks.

  • Can't direct connect to... Well, most people.

    First off: Intel iMac, OS 10.4.7.
    I think it may be only AIM users, but I can not seem to send images using direct connect to much of anybody now. I simply get greyed out text that says "An AIM error has occurred. Unable to talk directly to your buddy." and then sometimes it also says "Direct Instant Message session refused."
    However they fiddle with their firewalls, it still won't work. To make matters worse, they can send me pictures, and I can receive them. This tells me it's a problem on my side and not theirs. Again, I can send pictures to a couple people (they use things like Trillian and stuff). I couldn't even send a picture to a fellow iChat user.

    Hi Daveecee,
    As Rj has said the port 5190 neds to be open in your Mac Firewall if ON and the modem and any router you have.
    The iChat Applogs on to AIM on port 5190 using the TCP protocol.
    It uses the UDP protocol for updating the Buddy List with your Buddies pics if they change, the Status messages they send and whethter they are On-line or not.
    This protocol is also used for the Direct Chats and the Group chats which are in fact the same thing and only (literally) window dressed differently by the iChat app.
    If you are using Port Forwarding to open the ports in the modem AND it is a fairly new device that offers the protocols at the same time then Open Port 5190 for UDP and make the port change in iChat that RJ suggested for logging on to AIM to avoid any conflicts.
    It does need of course to have a Buddy that:
    1) Has an application that can do group/direct chats
    2) Has opened the required ports at their end
    3) Is not blocking Direct/group chats either by settings or anything that could be possible be set in their App.
    Hope this helps.

  • Please help - Faulty openreach modem but BT India ...

    Hi,
    After having recently been upgraded to Infinity 2, my connection went intermittent and then off completely last week. I called BT India who said the fault was not at my end and that I should give it 24-48 hours for the problem to be resolved. After a couple of days, still no connection.
    I am aware that early openreach modems have a reliability issue as this modem is my second (the original died after a couple of months and was replaced by an engineer who had done four that morning). I got a letter about a swap out last November but never heard anything more after that, so the modem I am using is not a new one. The modem is wall mounted under my desk. So, after 48 hours of no connection, last week I placed a fan under the desk next to the modem to blow cool air at it. Within a minute or two I had a connection again. Switch off the fan, give it a few minutes and the connection is dropped again.
    I then rang BT India again (got a woman called Romy) and tried to explain to her that the problem was my modem. She just said it was "very strange" and had no knowledge of the reliability issues of these early modems. She said she would have a replacement sent to me and I got her to confirm that it was an "openreach modem" that she was ordering.
    I've just been away in Belgium for 4 days and returned today (Monday) to find a missed delivery card (which looks like it was from earlier this morning) and a letter from BT. The letter says we're sorry that your "BT home hub 3.0 black" is not working and that I'll get my replacement soon! Arrrrrgghhh! I don't even use the hub 3 I've got as I have a DLink DIR-825 router of my own!
    Do BT India actually know what an openreach modem for BT infinity is? It appears not from my experience.
    So, if somebody on here from BT UK could kindly assist in getting me a new modem either by post or sending an engineer round to do a swap out (and advising me of what to do with the home hub 3 I'm about to receive) then I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks,
    Ade.

    Update.
    BT India have now rung me back, different member of their call team, wanting to know if my system was working.
    After explaining again to him, he straight away said "I'll send an engineer out tomorrow, morning or afternoon?"
    Wish they had taken that option when I called last week.
    I'll ping the hub back in the returns bag when it arrives (with a note attached saying it's not a dud), then hopefully I won't get charged for that.

  • Bt infinity openreach modem needs power cycling ev...

    I have had to power cycle my openreach modem every day for the last two weeks in order to regain connection. I have phoned bt who ran a line test then told me nothing was wrong. Has anybody else had an issue like this or am i going to have to go and buy a vdsl modem myself? Thanks in advance.

    Of course they are refusing, you are not using the equipment they supply and are "out of contract".
    I would imagine they want you into a new contract for you to be ale to get a "wonderfull" HH5.
    The question here is how far do you want to go?
    If you are not using ISP supplied equipment (the modem would've been within start of your contract) then you are on your own regarding equipment unless you can prove the fault happens on entry to your propery.

  • Loss of connection with Broadband from modem/hub.

    Hi guys,
    Just had BT Infinity installed last Friday and within an hour of the engineer leaving, the blue broadband light on the HH3 turned to Red.  After going through all the troubleshooting you get from the page that displays when you try and access the Internet, I couldn't find anything wrong, tried restarting the HH3 and turning it off and on again with no resolution.
    I then decided to power off the white openreach modem even though the DSL light was still lit and green and hey presto, after this restarted and I restarted the hub again, it came back on.
    The problem is that since then, I am losing the connection in exactly the same way every few hours.  Sometimes in the space of a few minutes and this is highly frustrating when the hub is downstairs and my PC is upstairs and I have to keep going up and down to reset it.  Using Hub manager to restart the hub has no effect as I need to restart the modem as well.
    The engineer did say that the speed will go up and down over the next 10 days and you may lose connection for a few minutes but the connection never comes back on again.  Yesterday morning I noticed it had disconnected so left it all day while at work and still no connection when I came home.
    Now being a Windows Network administrator, it seems to me that there is an issue with the hardware somewhere and I would think that the issue would be with the modem as this has to be restarted in order for the connection to come back on again.
    Has anyone else had this same issue?  I had the old BT Home hub before on regular broadband and had no issues whatsover.  A colleague of mine said his father had the same issue and they had to replace his modem and hub because the engineer told him the hardware is rubbish and it kept burning out.
    I don't want to have to spend more money getting a decent router, why should I?  BT should provide hardware that works and is of good quality.
    Can anyone else comment on this or can any mods get involved please?  I'm starting to regret getting this after only 5 days!
    Many thanks
    John
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi John,
    I've been going through exactly the same thing as you for the last 2-3 months. My first few weeks on Infinity were fine actually, then Homehub started dropping connection to the broadband a few times a day, now it's every 10-15 minutes. It's been ongoing for a couple of months now and last week I received a replacement Homehub after contacting one of the mods here. No change, in fact if anything it's worse. It's entirely useless to me to be honest, I can't watch anything online, play any games online and to work from home I have to use a 3G dongle (it's slow, but at least it stays on for longer than 15 minute intervals).
    Anyway, needless-to-say my BT Infinity experience has been terrible so far. I've seen a few posts on here from people who have had what has sounded like a similar problem and they have swapped out the Homehub for a 3rd party router and have found it to solve the problem completely. It's something I have considered, but until BT actually admit to me that the cause of the problem is their crappy hardware then I'm not going to risk spending the money.
    The mod that contacted me did mention that if the replacement hub doesn't fix the problem (it hasn't) then it might be an issue with the PPP session/RAS server and that he'd report the fault to BT Wholesale for me if that is the case. I e-mailed him this morning asking him to do so.
    Good luck!

  • Can you still get the Openreach modem?

    Should be having Infinity installed on Wednesday and the HH5 came today.. I like to use my own routers as the HH5 doesn't really support my needs.
    I can use my router with the Openreach modem just fine but iv been told that they are no longer given out anymore? Can I just ask the engineer to give me one?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well it would be less than ideal.. I have a pretty extensive network setup with my own equipment and I already tried running my whole network off the HH5 and while transfering some files over LAN it just fell over. It was fine until I connected the 15th device then it got kind of wonky.

  • IChat A/V -- AIM/Windows Direct Connections

    Whenever I try to do a file transfer with a friend of mine from my .Mac AIM to their regular AIM running off of AIm for Windows, I can't do a Direct Connection, and have to ask them to start one, does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hi
    In that case I would think that port 5190 is not open to both the protocols it needs
    5190 needs to use both the UDP and TCP protocols I would check that your Mac firewall is set to this if ON, that your router and or modem is also open to these protocols
    Also check your Buddy is open to those Protocols if it only him that you can not do this with.
    This Apple Doc http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106439 states that both protocols are used for file transfer.
