E2500 hard wire connection problem
I know little about network connections so please bear with me.
We use a Linksys E2500 connected to a DSL router.
The E2500 supplies the wireless network to all of our devices in our house.
The wireless doesn't give me a very good connection in my office, which is in another building on our property, so I want to run hard wire (Cat5E) to my office and plug it directly into one of the four ports on the E2500.
I tested this by running a short Cat5 jumper cable from my Dell laptop to port 2 on the E2400
When I select "Broadband Connection" instead of wireless connection on my laptop it prompts me tI enter my username and password (I do) and after my laptop tries to connect I get an error that says: "Error 651: The modem (or other connecting device) has reported an error" and does not connect to the internet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Turn off your wireless adapter in the laptop. Now plug in your cable. Should connect just fine.

I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme. Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?

Excellent plan.

Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

Can I hard wire connect the time capsule to my iMac
I have been told to not use wireless connections when iPhoto library is on external disc. Can I hard wire connect the time capsule external drive. I have found nothing showing or telling me exactly yes or no.
how various devices on the network are connected is of no difference
ethernet wired or wifi == no difference -
Recently I was working on my home Network and lost myPassword for my Home wireless connection. After many attempts, I remembered thepassword and was able to get in. Now the MacBook Pro only works at home on aHard wire connection. I have an additional 9 devices on the same network, allare functioning properly. The Air connection works fine at any other Networksout side the Home connection. I did a PRAM reset, deleted the Network profileand rebuilt in System Preferences. Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?
I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

Some wire connection problem for SCB-68 usage in measuring voltage
I am using FPGA 7831R along with SCB-68 to measure some voltage from my monitor terminal from my motor. When I measure the voltage between the monotor output and GND using a multi-meter the measurement is very reasonable and it can be changed when motor speed is changed. However, When I use FPGA input function to measure the monitor output(corresponding AI0 on SCB-68), the number displayed on the scope is always 10. The displayed value from GND is also 10(corresponding AI1 on SCB-68), so when I substract AI0 from AI1 the value is zero. Did I do something wrong in wire connection.
Should I connect the AIGND terminal to somewhere or leaving it floating.Hi shuishen1983,
What are the connections that you have made for this measurement? What kind of signal is it? Are you trying to do a differential or single-ended measurement? In either case, you should have a look at this wiring guide.

SATA hard drive connection problem
Has anyone ever had a problem with SATA cables when installing new hard drives?
I have an early 2008 iMac with the original 250-Gb Western Digital Caviar hard drive. I installed a new 1-Tb WD Green drive in it yesterday but it will not boot from the new drive. The mac will not even recognized the presence of the drive (flashing question mark). I cloned the original drive and have confirmed that it was partitioned correctly (GUID).
The new drive WILL boot up when connected as an external USB drive with a universal connector.
The original drive will boot up when reinstalled in the iMac, but it is not recognized if I put the new drive in and have the original drive connected as a USB drive.
I started the mac from a DVD and did a clean install of the operating system. I booted with the iMac as a target drive. My Powerbook couldn't see the new drives either.
I went out and bought a new Seagate Barricuda 1Tb drive. The SAME result. Will not boot internally. Will boot as an external drive.
BOTH new drives power up and are spinning. They will both boot the computer when connected using a SATA to USB converter (externally).
MY THEORY is that the SATA connection is at fault. There are no visible defects and all the connections seem tight, but that's the only reason I can think of.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can test the connection? Is there any reason that the orginal drive's SATA connector would not fit the two new drives differently?
HELP!!!Right if its SATA, use SATA1, go into Bios, Integrated Peripherals (manual page 3-20) - enable PATA IDE and SATA IDE(the via controllers), set floppy to auto. go to ONBOARDPCI controller - P20378 S ATA controller (the promise controller) and set to disabled, EXIT back to main bios screen, then advanced bios features, set boot sequence to floppy, CD, BB1(SATA,if shown, HDD if not), then enable other boot devices, and enable floppy seek.
EXIT and SAVE
Have WinXP CD in CD drive, at first install screen F6, wait for S screen, use both Via SATA drivers for XP, once you have loaded 2 nd one enter - F8 page and setup page, PARTITION and FORMAT, ( format takes secs) then install. When it resets it should show menu with XP on it, and the 25 sec countdown, enter.
One point the SATA drive connections are poor, slightest movement will cause data corruption, or a sharp bend in cable. make sure connectors are fully home squarely on mobo and drive.
Should be OK.
Either email or here if you need help
cheers

Bridge 1310 wire connection problem?
We have implemented new cisco 1310 bridges (2 root bridge/13 non-root bridge). And connectivity and reachability between bridges is OK, but the issue that
1.when you try to access the root bridge it is hang for some time especially when you access through web interface,and when you access by web you lose connection (drop packets ping).
2. when you try to create browse through web, the bridge go hang again.
-Already I've upgraded all bridges image to "c1310-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA5", and problem was resolved for some time but now it is again appears.
3. when you try to connect to non-root bridge is smothly acceable and no connection issues, and already end users are working fine.
Anyone experinced such an issue or can help on figure out??How long are the cables? Maybe they have bad connections now. Replace them.

How to connect Time Capsule wirelessly (without hard wire connection)
Okay, so just bought a Time Capsule, and in the process of setting it up, I am being told by Airport Utility that I need to hardwire the TC to my wireless router in order for it create a network.....
My question: Is there anyway around this? Is there anyway I can create an extended WiFi connection thru the TC without hardwiring? I have a wifi extender (NetGear universal wifi range extender WGN3000) and was hoping that TC would connect to it and act as a second extender relay.
I hope my question is clear.
Also, is my understanding correct that if the TC is not hardwired, and it does not possess a wireless connection, then in order to backup my computer, I must connect to the basestation in Airport, and during that time I will be unable to use the internet??
THanks!!We always say to people do the first backup by ethernet anyway.. wireless takes far too long.. once you are just doing incremental then it is ok by wireless.
But wireless halves in speed for every hop.. so make sure there is only ever one wireless link between the TC and the computer if at all possible. If you join it by wireless to the network.. you will have no gain.. and lots of pain.. plus half what are already poor speeds.. so you may as well just connect to the router by ethernet.. and bridge the TC.. you can then also setup wireless .. particularly 5ghz which the rest of your network probably doesn't use so you have a faster than normal link both to internet and TC for backup.. when you are in the same room.. link at 5ghz gives great speed and poor range.. go more than one room away and it will generally fall away to nothing. -
I am about to connect my home to the internet via a BT hub 5. All the instructions are for conecting wirelessly but I want to use a cable to connect my desktop as this bit of kit doesn't have a wireless capability. Can anyone help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.It is just plug and play, no password or set up needed. If the homehub offers to install any software onto your computer decline it. You don't need anything to connect other than the Ethernet cable and the homehub plugged in correctly.

I had a problem with DSL service provider. They have corrected their problem but now, I can only hard wire into my desktop for internet access. If I plug in through the Time Capsule, I get no wireless service. I unplugged the Time Capule and rebooted but now the amber light is blinking tellimg me that it cannot access internet. So, I have hard wired back to my Mac and need to know how to get the Time Capsue to recognize the internet when I plug into it.
Start with a factory reset and do setup over again.
If the DSL modem is working as router.. which will be the case for most people then the TC must be in bridge mode..
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change. -
External hard drive connected to my airport extreme will no longer open, when navigating to it in Finder, the Finder window quits and reopens, cannot access hard drive, it is visible in airport utility, since the problem began I have updated firmware on Extreme as well as both of my Airport Expresses. Hard drive is USB connected to Extreme.
Reboot the USB drive.. assuming it is powered.. or unplug and replug a self-powered drive.. (you should not use self-powered drives on AE before the latest model.. always use a powered hub).
Does the drive now appear in finder..
If not reboot both drive and the AE.. it should now appear.
If it doesn't work with direct connection try a powered hub.. that can help. -
Trying to download update to CoPilot Live and CoPilot GPS with maps. Files sizes are large and taking hours to download on wireless connection. How can I download updates and new maps while connected to PC and Itunes through hard wire internet link?
I'm on my iPad, so I don't know if this is the page with an actual download. I don't see a button, but assume that is because I am on an iPad. It is in the DL section of Apple downloads.

Time Capsule can't backup external hard drives connected to it. Got that.
Hello Apple Support Communities! This is my first post. Hope this finds you all well My first year as an Apple user. I bought a 2-Tb TC and am running my first backup to my MacBook as I write this.
Problem statement: TC can't backup external hard drives connected directly to it, but the ones connected to the Macs that are connected wirelessly to it. Duly noted. However, the Spotlight will reindex the hard drives connected to the Mac and that will take hours; the whole backup will take days. Thus, excluding the hard drives at "System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy tab" will probably help reduce the time of backup, or just ejecting them will do too. That itself has not proven effective coz it's still taking forever (50Gb in 2 days, still going).
Questions:
1) Do I wait until my first backup to my MacBook's internal hard drive is done before I connect my hard drives to my MacBook and attempt another backup? If yes, how do I go about the excessive time Spotlight reindexing takes if I intend to backup my hard drives connected to my MacBook?
2) Is there any other way of speeding up the first-time backup?
*Note: All versions of OS and firmwares are up-to-date. TC is connected to an external wireless router. TC is intended to be used as backup device and / or file server only.
P/S: Apologee if this has already been discussed before, thus, a link to previous discussion thread would highly be appreciated)
- Shook Hashem, Malaysia.How do I backup the externel hard drives connected to my MB. I was under the impression that that has already been done, because I've read it somewhere in a discussion that said it's done automatically unless I exclude it from a backup, which I didn't. So it's supposed to backup the external hard drivestoo because I had them connected to my MB the entire time during the backups.
By default an external drive is excluded.. the list is odd.. if I plug a drive into the mac.. it immediately is listed as excluded.
This is not the list of included.. this is the list of excluded.. remove it from the excluded list to include it.
It is kind of reverse polish notation in backups.
If I want to enter the Time Machine, should I enter it with the TM turned on or off?
Not sure what the question means. If you use the star wars display and want to recover files then use TM off.. but read up pondini.. how to do restore etc.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
15A in particular on the how to use TM.
When do I uplug the ethernet and use the wireless connection instead?
Once you have finished the main backup you can go back to wireless. The incremental backups are mostly very small. -
IPOD CONNECTIVITY PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS XP VIA USB 2.0
Enough is enough.
I have an ipod touch and I am having difficulty connecting it to my pc via usb 2.0.
I have searched the entire web and came across many cases similar or the same as mine. It's time for apple to face the fact that there is something wrong with either the apple mobile service or the apple usb drivers or the itunes software that causes connectivity problems with win xp.
For the record my case is this:
I got my itouch 3 days ago. I installed itunes 8.0. Then I plugged in my ipod to a usb extension cable port connected to a usb at the back of my desktop computer. At first I got the "this usb device can perform faster if you plug it to a usb 2.0 port etc." message. So I did. I removed the extension cable and connected it directly to one of the usb ports at the back. The first time it synchronized, it seemed fine. So I decided before I do anything with it, to update it to the 2.1 version. I made my account and bought (very bad policy there apple, it should be free or at least cheeper than 8 euro) the 2.1 update. I clicked to update the i-touch. While it was updating it crashed during the restore process (because it was disconnected but I didn't know that at the time). I unplugged it, resetted and plugged it back and managed to continue the restoring process until it was updated. After figuring out itunes I chose the "manage files manually option", kept everything unchecked in the sync options except the applications. I noticed there were random disconnections here and there but I didn't pay much attention because they weren't very frequent.
The next day I plug in the touch again and suddenly I hear that annoying "connecting-disconnecting" sound from windows while my touch kept disappearing and reappearing in itunes. Suddenly my playlists disappeared from the touch. Nothing was in the touch any more. How could that happen since i had chosen to manage my files manually instead of synchronizing? So I unplugged the touch again, restarted the touch, restarted the pc, stopped and restarted the apple mobile service, unistalled and reinstalled itunes, searched microsoft support and read many usb troubleshooting documents in the web. Nothing happened. The touch randomly keeps disconnecting from the usb. I eventually managed to put my stuff back in and keep them there.
Here's what I know:
1) There is nothing wrong with my usb ports. I don't use usb hubs, they are usb 2.0, the voltage (500mA) is correct in the device manager. Everything else works fine there.
2) The ipod touch does not support disk mode so you can't see it under "my computer" and this is not a problem.
3)There is nothing wrong with the ipod, it works perfectly.
4) This is not a usb cable physical problem.
5) The five R's are irrelevant with this situation.
Uninstalling and reinstalling itunes doesn't solve the problem, neither does hard resetting the ipod.
6) Older PC configurations seem to be more affected by this but it doesn't have to do with unsupported specific chipsets.
Here's what needs investigating:
1) There may be a problem with the apple mobile service running on win XP.
2) There may be a problem with the apple usb driver and win XP or older motherboards.
3) There may be a 2.1 firmware issue with usb 2.0 connectivity.
Workaround so you don't go nuts:
Use USB 1.1 instead of 2.0. It is A LOT slower but it keeps the connection stable and you can work with the ipod. Just start copying and go do something else for the next hour. So far it works for me.
This is a serious issue that needs immediate attention. I've stumbled across forum discussions dating to 2005 with this problem (with older ipods of course).I think this needs to be put down to the eternal PC/Mac argument. Apple dont want to fix this as they want everyone to buy a Mac. Its a business, understandable, but in turning away PC buyers they alienate a huge percentage of the market.
Now, I had my first iTouch stolen. It synced, for the most part, very well, just occasionally it removed settings and music, but ticking boxes each time I sync'd sorted that, Its a workflow procedure.
SO, now that my Touch has been replaced, iTunes cannot see it. The PC can identify it on USB1 or USB2, My work lap top can see it and has indeed upgraded it to V2 software, just in case that was the issue, but no. For some really weird reason Itunes on my desktop cannot see the new pod.
This does not make sense with the argument that Apple software doesnt work on a PC, but doesnt help that none of the Apple support staff, phone or in-store have a clue about Windows operations.
Because my Touch has now been trying to connect to 6 separate installs of itunes, multiple USB ports, multiple USB cables, a complete overhaul of the registry settings (everything else still works), and the loss of all my previous settings and backups from the last Touch... but still, the PC says its an ipod but cant install it, iTunes sits there, dumb.
The only thing I can do now is sell the device as brand new as it has never had music on it and is just a week old...
It has changed the MiniMac I was going to have for my new flat screen TV into a PC and suggests that anyone with a PC should stick to devices that run on PC, of which there are many, just without the user interface of the dear departed IPod Touch.
Thanks
