Linkysy E4200 V1
Century link DSL modem 660 series

You should consider putting your DSL modem in bridge mode and just using one router on your network. If you already have it in bridge mode, then check to see if you have the correct MTU. You may need to set it to manual=1492. or check here:
http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=386
If your modem is not in bridge mode, and you don't want to put it in bridge mode, then make sure you don't have a NAT conflict. If the default IP address of your modem is 192.168.2.1, then you'll need to keep the linksys at it's default of 192.168.1.1.
Should you decide to put your modem in bridge mode, it's pretty easy. But you'll need to know your Century link DSL account's user name and password when you configure the linksys. Read and print off the instructions below before beginning. Also, make sure your E4200v1 has the new updated firmware that just came out a week ago.

and then follow: i. For PPPoE connection setting.

If you have a different model of modem than the one listed above, you can just google to find the correct instructions.

Modem doesn't recognize Mac

On a cold start, my modem doesn't recognize the Imac. I have to restart the modem to connect the computer to it. All connections are correct and tight. Ethernet to Ethernet. Absolutely no changes other than down loading Mavericks. Apple suggests taking Imac into store and replacing mother board. Everything worked perfect until new download. The modem does recognize the ethernet connection after sleep, but not after a restart. Anyone else having similar problem.

Linc, thank you for your reply. The only things listed on the drop down menu are Bluetooth PAN, Firewire, Ethernet 2, Ethernet 1, Bluetooth DUN, VPN, PPPoE, and 6 to 4. Wifi doesn't exist on the list. I believe my problem might be that because the light on the Xfinity modem for wifi is not lit, it is not communicating with my Mac Pro. Although the folks at Xfinity are showing that my wifi is active, it doesn't seem to want to behave. I don't even know how to activate the wifi on my Mac. Everyone keeps telling me to click on the little icon at the top of the desktop. I don't have one of those icons there.

My New MacBook doesn´t recognize my external modem

I just got the new MacBook. My home internet connection is through an external modem that uses a USB cable. When I opened Network Preferences, and it does not give me an option to add an external modem. I was able to install the driver in the new MacBook, but it does not recognize the external modem. I need help figuring out how to get the MacBook to recognize this modem.

I have a Mac Pro and had trouble sending faxes. Apple's help topic for modems that don't connect automatically gives a list of things to try. They should add "Arrange to have a Fax sent to your Mac and try to receive it" That worked for me.

HP laptop (Windows) doesn't recognize printer

I have an Airport Express. Cable modem is plugged into it. HP PhotoSmart 3210 is plugged into USB. RCA jack is running from AE to receiver. My iMac can access the internet (wireless airport connection), and I can print to the HP. However, I can't see the printer on the network. I have an HP laptop running windows xp. It recognizes the network, and I can connect to the internet. It doesn't recognize the printer either. Any suggestions?

Mini doesn't recognize airport

My mini doesn't recognize the airport card. I have restarted my rounter, modem and my mac but no luck. All software on my Mini is up to date and other computers are connected to the network. The network tab in System Preferences doesn't give me an option to connect to airport.

In this thread, your first post suggests you are running MacOS 10.4.8, but the second that you have 10.4.10. If you are running the latter, did the Airport work before and since stop? Perhaps around the time of the update?
Do you see any sign of Airport, such as the empty fan in the menu bar?
In the network preferences (and I apologize, I don't presently have a Mac running Tiger to test this on), when you click to add an interface and select Airport, does it then show the hardware to be present?
Some time ago I was tracking a series of posts on www.macfixit.com which related to Airport issues in 10.4.10. It was suggested that if the Airport card was not recognized, to try an SMC reset (Intel Systems) or PMU Reset (PPC minis) Other issues could occasionally be resolved by removal of AppleAirport.kext, AppleAirport2.kext and AppleAiport3.kext files from the >System>Library>Extensions folder, but you would need a source of rreplacements, either from your existing MacOS install disk or the latest Airport Updater downloaded from Apple. In either case you'd need a utility called Pacifist to extract just those files. Sadly I don't have a Tiger system on hand to test that out at present.
One troubleshooting step you might try is to create a new user account on the system and see if that account can 'see' the Airport card, thus indicating an issue at the user rather than systemwide level.
It is a good sign however that the Airport hardware is seen by the profiler. Basically that means it's failure in the system is software.

ITunes doesn't recognize either of my iPods

I downloaded the latest update recently and since then iTunes doesn't recognize either of my two iPod touches (4th gen), even though the computer does. My iPad (1st gen) is still recognized normally. I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling it several times, and that didn't work. The iPods are recognized by iTunes on other computers. The computer in question runs windows 8.1, if that makes a difference. From the look of these forums it looks like I'm not the only one who has this problem. Please help.

Tecra M4 - DVD drive doesn't recognize any disk under Vista

Hi,
after the installation of Vista my dvd drive doesn't recognize any disks !
No upgrade from XP! It was a clean Vista installation.
I found several links about the registry entries upper and lower filter this entries doesn't exist in my registry under the class CDROM.
I tested the drive under XP it works fine and recognizes everything.
Drivers are correctly installed no problems in the device manager is prompted.
So i have no idea how to get it working, seems to be a Vista problem
Could any one help me ? I'm really frustrated about this
Thanks for your help

Maybe this helps:
- Remove the CD/DVD drive from the device manager.
- Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
- Then reboot the notebook
But what happens exactly? What disks are not recognized?

This Question is at least 2.5 years old. But still an issue. I have an early 2008 and mid 2010 13 inch macbook pro running iTunes 10.7. Itunes on both machines doesn't recognize blank cds or allow me to import from a music cd when I insert it.

iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

HELP HELP

To confirm, your existing mail client isn't communicating with your existing and remote mail services at Dreamhost? Which mail client are you using (Apple mail?), and how is mail on the client set up?
It would initially seem that your client is still referencing the server, either for its inbound or outbound mail. (And I'm not sure how unplugging the server helps here, unless there's some sort of a configuration issue, or a duplicate network address or such.) This would usually be something within the configuration of the mail client.
The Mac OS X Server is significantly easier than the many other servers and server operating systems I've dealt with over the years, but it requires reading the manuals and/or some knowledge of networking and of server environments.
Small shops and home folks without the time or inclination to "spin up" on these server areas can be well-served with some help initially configuring the server. Servers are different from clients. Stuff that you're implicitly used to using when you're running a client -- the DHCP server, for instance -- are what the servers provide you with.
As for Mac OS X Server and particularly if you head outside of the default settings and sequences and off into the customizations, which is what has happened here, you might want to engage some assistance. Not just for the direct and obvious initial set-up sequence, but also for getting you set-up and started with backups and other such tasks. Before you get too deep in here and get too much underway and too much saved on your disks, do seriously consider getting somebody in to help set this box up for you.
Mac OS X Server is not "no IT", but it is rather closer to "less IT" than most. Particularly once you get it configured and running.

What happens if you go to iTunes > File > Devices, do you get the option to Sync iPhone?
You could try a reinstall of iTunes. OS X Yosemite: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac
