Driver/firmware for ethernet port??

I recently got rid of my PC (YAY!!!), meaning I no longer need my cheap crappy wireless router. However, when I hook my Ethernet cable up to the port in my PB, I can not connect to the web. I'd like to try reinstalling the necessary driver/firmware, as doing so recently solved my non-working USB ports problem, but I don't know where to find the driver... Can anybody post a link to a site where I can download a driver? Or perhaps have a better way to connect?
(I understand that what I am looking for is probably under my nose, but I'm not computer savvy enough to know what terms to search for.... heh..)
thanks

Sorry, posted this one in the wrong department... I asked in the proper one (Networking, internet, etc...) Mods can delete this if so desire

Bridge for ethernet port

I am looking for a bridge for ethernet port of MSI 180. The bridge is used for wireless connection (It changes wired connection type to wireless one either 11b or 11g). Is there a bridge compatible with Mega 180?

Well as for the WGA54G,
I am (again!) struggling to get it working, I recently had issues where the reset button did not work (thank god I remembered my password)
For some reason any changes I made were not saved, that got fixed by updating the firmware.
It does not support WPA (have to check to be sure)
It does only support one device (so you cannot connect a switch to it and have multiple devices connected to your network.
For some reason it does not understand I have a DHCP server running, I have issues getting the DHCP forwarded to the device it is supposed to create wireless for.
connectivity is so-so I had to cap the max transfer limit to get a stable connection.
If I were to buy one again (which I may do, since I need it to connect my DVD player to my network) I would buy a accesspoint, and not a game adapter.
As for brands I will definitately not buy Linksys again, nor Asus. I bought a Asus PCI wifi adapter, which has buggy software (maybe related to Windows ME).
Does anyone else have comments on wireless suppliers that have good software added to their hardware. I am quite happy with my 3Com router, which is quite easy to manage.
Do not have comments on WAP54G, as above I will not buy a linksys product again.
How is US Robotics for instance ?

Wrt54gl: Led for ethernet port two always on.

I've had my router for three days now and have only managed to establish an ethernet connection with my computer two times. Of those two times the wired connection lasted only a couple of hours before being lost, but the wireless connection always remains stable. A weird thing I noticed when setting my router for the first time was this: The led indicator for ethernet port two was always on and, indeed, remains always on despite there not being any connection in the port.
On my first successful connection I could only manage to get a signal through port two (with ports one, three and four giving me no such luck). With my second successful connection I managed to get established through port one while port two's led, as always, remained lit.
My question is this: Could this led be indicitive of some hardware problem?

That's strange,I would suggest you to hard-reset the router for 45 seconds,power cycle the router and re-configure it from scratch...Now,check the port no 2.

How to upgrade driver/firmware for 3rd party airport card?

I have a Motorola WPCI810g wireless card that i have been using for over a year. Previously in Panther i tried to upgrade to Airport 4.2 to take advantage of WPA, but i ended up having to downgrade back to 4.1 because 4.2 left airport nonoperational. I have been on Tiger for quite a while and only recently noticed that i was automatically upgraded to Airport 4.2, however I do not have WPA as an encryption option (neither when joining, or creating a network). I can only assume it has to do with the firmware on the card but I cant figure out how to update it. I have tried to search these threads but the closest i can come is using Airport Admin Utility to upgrade the firmware on a base station.
About Airport is such:
Airport
427.1.1
Component Versions:
Airport Menu Extra: 427.1.1
Airport Framework: 429.6.0
Airport Extreme Driver: 405.1.0
Airport Admin Utility: 420.5.0
Airport Setup Assistant: 420.6.0
Powermac G3 Rev2 B&W 400mhz, iBook G4 14" 1.33mhz Mac OS X (10.4.9) Pioneer DVR-109, Moto WPCI810G, Nano (1G) 4gb Black

yup, and this is what it says:
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18)
Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
in addition, I found that I can choose WPA as an encryption if i select 'other' as the network. What I would really like to do is create a network with WPA, since i use this desktop to connect my ibook to the internet. so far nothing...

Ethernet Port Software Issue

A few weeks ago, I noticed that my ethernet port was not working. It would not recognize when a cable was plugged in. This came along with a startup issue, so when I took it into the apple store to have it looked at, they replaced the logic board. It fixed the startup issue, so I assumed that it fixed the ethernet issue. I have now realized that it didn't. So I took it back to the apple store and they booted my computer from a separate drive, and the ethernet port worked just fine. So, the genius told me, the port problem is a software issue. He told me to reinstall leopard and that it should fix it. It didn't. So my ethernet port is not working because of a software issue. Does anybody know where to start? Thanks!

One way to test it is to configure it via the Unix back end. From a terminal window (you have to be root to do this, or prefix every command with sudo):
ifconfig en0 192.168.16.12 255.255.255.0 up
route add default -net 192.168.0.0 192.168.16.1 255.255.0.0
Substitute your own numbers for the correct addresses and subnet mask. The address on the ifconfig line is for your ethernet interface. The one in the route line is your default gateway.
Then type:
ifconfig en0
and it will show how the ethernet port is configured. Be sure the address and subnet mask are correct.
netstat -r
and it should show the routing table, including the default route you added, bound to the en0 interface.
Then try using the network. If it works correctly, it's a software issue.

Help! WDS mode Airport Express Ethernet port

Hi: I just bought a LaCie ethernet disk mini. The info on the Lacie page said you could use it wirelessly by conecting it to the airport. I curently have my airport in the living room and an airport express in my own room. The airpot express is used to extend the wireless network range through WDS. Im trying to conect the Lacie Hard Drive to the ethernet port on the airport express to hook it up to my network. Is there a setting I have to change? Can this be done in the configuration im using?
Cheers!

If the Airport Express has been configured (using the Airport Setup Assistant) to "extend" the wireless network of your Airport Extreme Base Station, the LaCie ethernet disk can be cabled to the ethernet port of the Airport Express. No additional settings need to be made on either the Extreme Base Station or the Airport Express to make this work.
My suggestion - cable the LaCie hard drive to the ethernet LAN port of your Airport Extreme Base Station. Overall performance will be much better - in fact, data transfer speeds could be up to twice as fast compared to cabling the device to the Airport Express.

In the garage I have a Netgear Router. it is connected by a ethernet cable, I have a 1tb drive that I want to use there. On the drive there is only a USB port. on the Netgear there is only ethernet ports. is there an adapter that will work for that?

It's not that simple. You need a "smart" device to connect a hard drive to, like a Time Capsule, or another computer, or an Airport Extreme/Express that was made to share a drive, or some other brand router that has a USB port for sharing a drive, etc.

I have a iMac g4 swivel and it seems that the ethernet port and the optical drive are not working.

Is there any troubleshooting I can try, short of replacing everything?
I really love this version of the iMac and want to use it in place of my eMac for some home business inventory and printing work.
I need the ethernet to work because the printer can only connect that way. It's a great laserjet from HP (1998 version) and it works like a champ.
As for the disc drive... I would love to install office or iwork but as I said nothing seems to mount. I also can't upgrade it to Tiger. It's running Panther and I can live with that I suppose.
I have wondered if I could exchange parts from the eMac (Motherboard, Optical Drive, Hard Drive) since its bulkyness takes up so much room.
Any ideas?
Thanks
And yes I have a modern macbook pro as well.

You can use the dvd drive on your macbook via target disk mode.
"Installing OS X 10.4 'Tiger' on DVD-Challenged Macs Using FireWire Target Disk Mode"

1) Do you have a router? Do you communicate to the internet via wifi?
connect the printer to a router with an ethernet port. This will be an input eithernet port.
You may need to change ip addresses on your printer or on your network.
2) usb to ethernet dongle
Apple USB EN Adapter Network adapter - Hi-Speed USB

verify that the dongle will work on your machine. Any drivers needed?
3) You can firewire to for TCP/IP ( ethernet) to comunicate between macs. Connect your printer to your macbook. Use firewire to communicate between macs. Enable printer sharing.

Is the Ethernet Port for Internet Only??

I have tried to get an answer to a problem I'm having on another forum, without success, so I am asking it here.
I have removed an internal 250Gb disk from my old G4 Tower and bought an enclosure so that I can use it as an external drive. The enclosure came with some software from a company called Ximeta, which I have installed. The enclosure also comes with a USB 2.0 and RJ45 port. With USB ports at a premium when I am working on locatiion I thought it would be easier to connect using the RJ45 port.
The problem is that whenever I attach the device and register it (using the Ximeta application) it will not mount on my desktop. I have checked the Ethernet port and get messages that say that it has an IP address but cannot connect to the internet. The problem is I am connected to the internet via Airport and my wireless lan, so I am not clear about why the Ethernet port would display this message. Surely, the port can be used for any application, not just internet?
Anyway, the result of several days testing and analysis is that I connect the device via USB and it mounts immediately but I cannot get the same result when connecting via Ethernet.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks & regards,
Cliff

Its a network drive access it through the network pannel in finder.

Setting up 2nd Ethernet port for NAS connection

Hi
I want to split out my internet and NAS drive access across my two Ethernet ports.
Port 1 is connected to my router and connects to the internet.
Port 2 is connected to a gigabit switch and then into two NAS drives. I have set up the second ethernet port with a manual ip and it says it is connected. But when I use Command K to connect to the ip address of the NAS, it cannot connect. Previously this worked fine when everything was going out of Ethernet port 1.
I suspect I have not set up Ethernet port 2 correctly. So far I have set it up for manual configuration and given it an ip address of 192.168.1.17 (the NAS is 192.168.1.18, Ethernet 1 is 192.168.119). Nothing else has been entered.
Any advice gratefully received. Thanks

Ping the destination address 192.168.1.19 from a terminal window and see if it responds.

Free or cheap AoE network drive support for Mac? [(S)ATA over Ethernet)]

Hi.
I recently bought an AoE network drive (this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817113049 ).
Is there a way to set it up as a shared drive from a Mac, so that other Macs (and possibly PCs) and the LAN can access it simultaneously via its gigabit Ethernet port ?
I found an AoE driver for Mac ( http://store.shop2degreesfrost.com/aoedrcli-1.html ) only that it's about $200 !!!

I found out the IP address of the drive, through the router clients list, but what you suggest didn't work.
Neither the IP itself (x.x.x.x) nor smb://x.x.x.x worked.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Can I use the Airport Express to connect to a Linksys Wireless Network and then use the Ethernet port on the Airport for a wired connection to a device for internet access? Would I be able to then also use that Ethernet pt to a Ntwk Hub for more wired c

Thanks for the help. Looked but not clear on what I am trying to do as being possible. Can I use an Airport Express to connect wireless to a Linksys Wireless Router, such that I can then use the Ethernet ports on the Airport to either connected to a PC wired, or even use a hub off the Airport Express to allow multiple wired connections to it?
I am not looking to have the Airport Express extend my wireless network, just connect to it and provide me wired connections in a different location from where my Linksys Route is located. Would prefer to replace Linksys with all Apple, but just not possible financially yet. Thanks for the help.

If the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is an 802.11n model, then yes, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, the AX would join the wireless network provided by the Linksys router and its Ethernet port would be enabled for either a single wired device or for an Ethernet hub or switch for multiple devices.

How to specify one ethernet port for network home directories (other for normal filesharing)?

So I'm trying to get Home Directories up and running on a 10.6.8 Xserve (waiting until I get my NFS sharepoints migrated to a Linux server [for other reasons] before moving up to 10.7 Server). But posting here since that will be happening in the next few weeks, and it might be applicable now (so I can at least get that resolved ahead of time).
I have a different DNS entry for each ethernet port: server.office.domain.com at 192.168.0.11 for the first, and homes.services.internal at 192.168.0.10 for the second. DNS lookups for both resolve correctly (as does the reverse lookup).
If I use the Server Admin to pick a sharepoint as an automount for Home Directories, everything is fine, but it picks the server.office.domain.com hostname. Picking that works just fine, but that is also the connection that feeds the filesharing. I'd prefer to split that home directory traffic out onto the second ethernet port. So I tried just duplicating the initial connection (since it can't be edited directly in Workgroup Manager) and changing the hostname to the internal one, but I get an error when attempting to log in (the client login screen gives a very helpful "Couldn't login because of an error" error message) and don't see anything in the server logs.
The client machine shows the following line:
Code:
10/20/12 5:27:42.688 PM authorizationhost: ERROR | -[HomeDirMounter mountNetworkHomeWithURL:attributes:dirPath:username:] |
PremountHomeDirectoryWithAuthentication( url=afp://homes.services.internal/Users,
homedir=/Network/Servers/homes.services.internal/Volumes/HomeDirectories/Users/ user123, name=user123 ) returned 45
(added line breaks so it didn't extend off the page)
So it looks like this is failing because the automount isn't in place, but I'm not sure how to work that out either (i.e. how do I add that making sure it uses the internal hostname?).
Any suggestions on getting this to work?
I realize one solution is just to LACP the two ports, but that is a different ball of wax (I may do that later if I get a 4 port ethernet card and performance limitations demand it).

A possible solution might be this.
On ADSLBOX and CABLEBOX configure different subnets for the LAN, e.g.
ADSLBOX: 192.168.1.0/24
CABLEBOX: 192.168.2.0/24
The MEDIABOX gets these static IPs:
ADSL-LAN: 192.168.1.2
CABLE-LAN: 192.168.2.2
On the MEDIABOX, configure the two network interfaces using two routing tables.
The ADSL-LAN routing table
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 src 192.168.1.2 table 1
ip route add default via 192.168.1.1 table 1
The CABLE-LAN routing table
ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.2.2 table 2
ip route add default via 192.168.2.1 table 2
The main routing table
ip route add 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 src 192.168.1.2
ip route add 192.168.2.0/24 dev eth1 src 192.168.2.2
# use the CABLE-LAN gateway as default, so general internet traffic from MEDIABOX runs over CABLEBOX
ip route add default via 192.168.2.1
define the lookup rules
ip rule add from 192.168.1.2 table 1
ip rule add from 192.168.2.2 table 2
To test the setup:
ip route show
ip route show table 1
ip route show table 2
I don't know how to persist something like this in ArchLinux using netctl. Might require to write a special systemd unit for it. Above is a working example from a RedHat box at my company.
