Eithernet networking

Hi all
I have a powermac g4running os x leopard and an ibook g3 running mac os 9.
How do i use the eithernet connection to transfer files from one computer to another?

Plug them in, start File Sharing from the Sharing pane of System Preferences on the G4 and note down its IP address, allow all incoming connections in the Firewall tab of the Security pane, open the Chooser on the iBook, click on AppleShare, push the Server IP Address button, and provide the address you noted down earlier followed by your username and password on the G4.

  • Sun Ultra 5 / Newbie Question

    Hello. I am a student preparing for a career in Deskside Support. I recently purchased a Sun Ultra 5, so I could increase my experience with UNIX / LINUX. When the system powers up it goes through what seems to be a normal boot process and then keeps repeating the below error:
    SUN, hme0 : No response from Ethernet network : Link down -- cable problem?
    I am assuming that it is looking for some sort of a network connection. It is not on nor will it be on a network. I also have a copy of Ubuntu on the way, as I have heard this is a good source of LINUX experience. Does the forum have any thoughts or comments on what the error is saying and how to get rid of it?

    Here is some additional informaiton that I was able to capture from the boot process.

    It keeps repeating. I think it has something to do with it looking for booth instructions off the network it was on. I also feel one of the boot proms need reseting. It never gets to root / UNIX prompt. I can STOP -A and get to OpenBoot prompt and SETENV / PRINTENV and run baisc diag but no more.
    When I reboot from OpenBoot with the "boot cdrom" command here is what I get.

  • EXP|ANDING MY G4

    Hi Forum,
    Looking for a wee bit of advice on best way to upgrade my G4 - it's kinda running pretty slow. Not looking for to much just to surf the net & play some music really.
    Really just a wee bit more speed and storage. Where is the best place to shop for these parts and is there any specific requirements for the RAM and HD for this machine. New to Mac.
    Thanks.
    My system profile looks like:
    Hardware Overview:
    Machine Model: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
    CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.9)
    Number Of CPUs: 1
    CPU Speed: 400 MHz
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
    Memory: 256 MB
    Bus Speed: 100 MHz
    Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
    20G hd storage
    Eithernet Network Card
    AGP Card
    ATY,Rage128Pro: AGP Slot-A 16MB
    Memory:
    DIMM0/J21:Empty
    DIMM1/J22:Empty
    DIMM2/J23:Empty
    DIMM3/J24:
    Size: 256 MB
    Type: SDRAM
    Speed: PC133-333

    While OWC is a good place to shop for Mac upgrades here in the US, perhaps some of the Forum regulars in the UK will post some sources that are a bit closer to you. You can use the same PC-100 (or backward-compatible PC-133) memory that's used in older PCs, as long as it has quality components and isn't registered or ECC SDRAM. Your G4 can use a standard 3.5" IDE/EIDE hard drive, parallel ATA-100 or ATA-133 (a SATA drive requires a Mac SATA controller PCI card). The G4 AGP-400 model has a maximum capacity recognition limit of 128 GBs or less, when the drive is connected to the motherboard's IDE controller. This effectively makes a 120 GB drive the ideal choice, because anything larger will have wasted/unused storage capacity, unless you connect it to a Mac-compatible ATA-133 controller PCI card. Once installed, the new hard drive must be formatted with Apple's "Drive Setup" (pre-OS X) or "Disk Utility" (OS X), before the OS software can be installed on it. Faster G4 processor cards are available, but you really have to decide in advance, how much you're willing to invest in a 7 year-old computer. It's very easy to spend a lot of money to improve an older Mac, and have a computer that's still worth less than the sum of its upgraded parts, simply because of its inherent hardware limitations, like a slow 100 MHz system bus speed.

  • Can I use a airport express to get internet connection to a Mac Mini that doesn't have wireless by adding it to my existing wireless network?

    I bought a first gen Mac Mini for our daughter and it doesn't have internal airport adapter and was wondering if I got a airport express can I plug it in my daughters room and use it as a local router and just use the eithernet connect from it.  Or would a airport extreme work better for this job.  I have a wireless cable modem that we connect to.  I also have a second question I have a iMac G4 that picks up the wireless signal but will not connect to it does it have to be a Apple airport for it to work or should it be able to connect to any broadcasted signal.  Thanks for the help.

    I'm not sure I quite understand. Do you wish to use the AEX to provide a wireless connection for a device that has an Ethernet port but no wireless capability of its own? You wish to use it in place of a wireless card that isn't internally installed? If so, the answer is, "Yes." It will work as a wireless access point. But you must have an extant wireless network because the AEX won't have an Internet connection when used in this way.
    If you have an existing wireless network with a wireless router connected to your cable/DSL model or your modem is a wireless router as well, then the AEX may connect to it in bridge mode. Note that AEXs don't always play nice with non-Apple routers. Some work; others don't.

  • Is there a way to use my time capsule as a wireless access point without having it being connected by eithernet thru my DSL

    Is there a way to use my time capsule as a wireless acess point without connecting the eithernet cable to my DSL modem

    Do you have another router? If not, then the TC must be connected to the modem by Ethernet cable for you to have a network.

  • No network adapter or drivers seen in windows 7 after Boot Camp 5.0.

    Mac Book Pro (newest). I Did a boot camp install of windows 7 home premium. Allowed 76 Gigs for that partition. Thought that would be enough. Did just fine.  Got all done and I cannot access the internet wifi or eithernet in Windows, when I trouble shoot with network diagnostics in windows it states no network adapter present, let alone the drivers for that adapter. I thought Boot Camp 5.0.1 did all that for you. There was no instruction to install drivers to a disc or thumb drive. Whent back to the MAC side and made shure I was sharing eithernet and wifi. When i do select share eithernet and WIFI I lose internet on the MAC  totally. I am about to lose it. I've been looking all day for the solution. Can someone help me.

    It appears you did not read and follow the Bootcamp Installtion Guide. The guide was the first menu item when you started Bootcamp Assistant. You did not download the Windows drivers when you ran Bootcamp Assistant. You then did not install these downloaded drivers when you first stated Windows.
    Start Bootcamp Assistant again. Select only the menu item to print the Bootcamp instructions. Read, and follow the instructions.

  • Network Limited Conectivity & Virtual-Box

    Just bought a new Dell Inspiron 3137 laptop, with 64-bit Windows 8.0 installed (not 8.1). I have four legacy 16-bit programs (Bible study, Sermon editor/reference, 2 games) that I need to use as cannot find more recent versions on the market.  So initially
    tried to use MS Virtual-PC but it would not install, so then installed Virtual-Box followed by Win-Xp. The W8 OS now (after serious setup efforts) connects ok under Wi-Fi and Ethernet to the internet and to computers on my home network.  But Virtual-Box
    and Xp fails! looking at my "Networks" W8 pop-up window I see an entry of "Unidentified Network" and that it has limited connectivity. Xp indicates "connected" but received packet count is 0.
    Think this is a result of my attempts & connections under Virtual-Box.  I go to Network and Sharing Center and find first 2 category are enabled but  "All Networks" entry is disabled/off and I cannot find any way to enable! I go to
    "Network Connections page and I see 6 entries (Bluetooth, Netgear router, broadband, Virtual-Box, etc). I run the troubleshooter on the Virtual-Box link and am informed that it cannot fix & no useful help provided to me by system!  No progress
    w/ comparability mode on legacy programs.
    I have initially informed Dell Technical support then most recently Oracle of this problem >>> both say it is not their product malfunctioning and that errors are in configuration of Windows-8 >> but no help.
    This is serious irritation as have already wasted about 40 hours chasing/messing with this problem  >>>> NEED HELP AND SUGGESTIONS - PLEASE!
    Thanks .....

    Thanks Kevin for the reply, but no progress here.  I am completely new to Windows 8.0 and slightly new to any networking, so keep that in mind should you decide to reply again,  A.K.A., I might need a bit of step-by-step assistance .....
    The symptoms here : My new Dell computer finally now connects by wi-fi to home network, has always connected to internet. I am using Virtual-Box v4.12.18 w/ Xp Pro, SP-3. Under Xp in Network I note that it shows "Connected" but received packet
    count is 0, sent packet count is hundreds. Looking within W8 at advanced settings, I see 3 network types, 1) Private = enabled, 2) Guest = enabled, 3) All = NOT enabled (and I can find no click, link or setting that
    will enable). Have tried with Network Discovery on & off, and with File Sharing on & off, and with 56-bit & 128-bit encryption selected alternatively. So run the Troubleshooter = first pass informed
    it could not fix problem : later, troubleshooter stated it fix some problem(s) with incoming connections = at that point I looked and found that under W8 both sent & received packet count was into low thousand but Xp still showed 0 receive.
    When I look at Networks under W8 I see "Netgear52" W/ no errors, then see either "Unidentified Network (limited connectivity) OR randomly  see "VirtualBox (Limited Connectivity) and so think Netgear52 is what I should be using.
    Again under W8 networking pages, I try "Setup Network - Chose Wireless Router" am asked for SSID (whatever?) but showing nothing after 10-minutes. Have made all efforts both with & without Firewall on Xp & I think on W8 also, no changes
    to Security Essentials  Xp is in NAT mode and have not yet tried "Bridged."  
    "ipconfig?"
    Base system here are : Dell 3137 Inspiron laptop, Win 8.0 + Win-Xp Pro. Motorola Surfboard cable modem. Netgear52 router. Various home networked Eithernet connected computers. Various Tablet & eBook readers connected Wi-Fi. No other component is
    reporting any errors and all work Ok.  Xp is Ok except zero connectivity to Internet and home network.  Need to get Xp connected so can access data for legacy programs off home & church networks.
    So your help seriously appreciated!    Bill

  • Power Mac 7500/100 (G3) -networking wireless/either net 2 iMac...

    I got a iMac Intel Duo (2006) OS 10.6.5 & I'm trying to get my PMac 7500/100-G3 (upgrade) OS 9.1 to talk to each other by eithernet or a wireless network for simple file sharing & transfer. Is there a way to do that? I do have a Eithernet Hud thet they are both hooked up to. So far I have not found a way and I just transfer files via:
    PMac 7500 - USB > Thimb Drive < USB - iMac.
    Soon to get my PMac G5 up and going with the same problem...

    OSX.4.x lost the file transfer ability of Appletalk... 10.1.5 thru 10.3.9 had it!
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301183
    With OS9 set with Appletalk to using TCP/IP, and or Chooser>AppleShare+IP, you can connect to a 10.4 or some later OSes machine.
    "Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer. The Network preference pane in Mac OS X 10.4 and later still offers the AppleTalk checkbox, but it is for browsing AppleTalk-advertised resources and zones. The subsequent connection must be over TCP/IP."

  • AEBS and TC - wired connection, same wireless network

    I need some advice.
    I have AEBS and TC. Currently, the connection between them is "Extend wireless network". They are located on the opposite ends of my condo. I am doing some work on my unit and I have a chance to draw an ethernet cable between them. However, I'd like both of them to be the same wireless network, so that I have good coverage in and around my unit and have good speeds for accessing NAS units on the network.
    Which ports would I connect with the ethernet cable and how would I configure the wireless network?
    Thank you!

    Main unit has eithernet cable from LAN port that connects to WAN port of second unit.
    Second unit is set up in bridge mode. You should not use "WDS" or "Extend Network" These are only for wirelessly extending the network.
    The second base station should be set to a "DIFFERENT" wireless channel, however the network name and security settings should be identical to the main base station.
    As long as the base stations have the same network name, roaming will work between them.
    Again, they need to be set to different channels so that they don't interfere with each other.

  • Best wireless network configuration with my hardware

    I have a rather large property and over the last year or so I have acquired the following hardware. Up until now I have been extending my network wirelessly to get through coverage. However with the recent addition of a Time Capsule and the addition of AT&T U-Verse, I decided it was time optimize my network configuration
    The Hardware:
    • 1 AT&T Residential Gateway (With WiFi)
    • 1 Airport time Capsule
    • 2 Airport Extreme 802.11n (Gigabit Ethernet)
    • 1 Airport Extreme 802.11n (Fast Ethernet)
    • 1 Airport Express 802.11n (used mostly for printers)
    The Computers:
    • Mac Pro 8 core 2.8Ghz
    • Mac Mini Core Duo 1.83Ghz
    • Macbook Air Core 2 Duo 1.8 Ghz
    • Lenovo T60p (with 802.11n)
    • Ipod Touch
    The slowest system is the Mac Mini with it's 802.11g however it is close enough to the TC / Residential gateway to wire into the network. All the other systems need to take advantage of the Wifi and have the ability to use the 802.11n speed. I'm not too worried about the ipod touch...
    So I know I am reaching a point of diminished returns by constantly extending my wireless connection. Now, would it be beneficial to set the TC as kind of my main Wif access point and use eithernet to connect my Airport Extremes to extend my network?
    I have the built in 802.11g of my AT&T RG disabled right now. I could create a 2nd network to allow the connection of my mini and iPog touch. but for the most part i would prefer to leave it disabled.
    One thing to take into consideration. Due to the nature of AT&T U-Verse and the connection from the AT&T RG and the TC/AP Extreme bust be in bridge mode giving DHCP control to the AT&T RG.
    Whew. Any thoughts?

    Ethernet as many routers as possible. Place secondary routers in bridge mode. Separate the N devices to a router (TC) from N+B/G devices should go to the secondary routers. Once done set wireless to create their own network. All N computers to N router ie TC and the remainder to which ever secondary router you prefer.

  • Using Airport Express to Extend my Network

    Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I'm getting close to throwing my Airport Express in the Trash.
    I have a weak signal downstairs in my house. Upstairs I have an Airport Extreme base station.
    So about 2 years ago I bought an Airport Express in the hope that I could simply plug it in downstairs and I would boost my signal strenghth in those areas.
    That was two years ago.
    Despite my best efforts I have never been able to get this thing to work.
    Now a friend at work is telling me that the only way it will work is to tether it to the Airport Extreme with an eithernet cable!!! to me that sounds crazy!!! whats the point?
    Can anyone please tell me in a step by step proceadure how I can make this thing fill in my weak coverage downstairs.
    I've tried just about everything..
    - Connect it to the AE with eithernet cable then try every setting in the airport utility that I can  find... still nothing!.. extends, join network etc etc.. nothing!
    Thanks for any help,
    Steve.

    It worked... I used extended but have bought a couple of power line adapters so hopefully will get increased rates.
    Strange that I've tried these settings before and no joy. I did a firmware update and a hard reset with a ball pen and it worked. I recon they fixed something!

  • Problems between HP network printer, WRT55AG, and wireless-G devices...help!

    I'm having a weird problem that I just can't figure out.  If I connect my HP LaserJet 2605dn printer via Ethernet to my WRT55AG router, all of the devices on my network (wireless-A, Ethernet) can see/access the printer except for the wireless-G devices.  However, if I connect the printer via Ethernet to a wireless-G bridge, and then use the bridge to connect wirelessly to my router, my wireless-G devices can access the printer without any problems.
    Here's a little more info.  If I reset the router, the wireless-G devices are able to access the printer (connected to the routher via Eithernet) up until the point when I enable WEP...then the printer is inaccessible from the wireless-G devices.  I've made sure that all of my WEP keys are correct; besides, the wireless-A devices can access the printer with WEP enabled and the wireless-G devices can connect to all the other devices on the network.
    I suspect that something is screwy between the printer and the router.  Using the wireless bridge is an acceptable work-around, but it bugs me that I can't get this working the "right" way.
    Oh yeah...the firmware on both the printer and the router is up-to-date.

    Have you tried reinstalling the drivers for the printer?

  • Airport Express won't extend wireless network

    I think due to a fault my airport express wont extend my wireless network around my house , but it will allow for airplay ... is it possiple to extend my network using the express but with an eithernet cable rather than the wireless that is transmitted out of the express unit ??

    Is the other wireless router, that you are trying to extend, another AirPort or Time Capsule base station? If so, are both units 802.11n models? Finally, what is the rough distance between the units and are they located in the same room, different room, or different floor?

  • I am facing network problems on my iphone

    i am facing network problems on my iphone whenever i go in a lift my network goes it doesnt come back easily even after leaving the lift

    If you are using a app that broadcasts wifi, then you should close it and you should make sure that you have the correct password for the network and make sure that wifi is turned on and if you can not connect to the wifi try plugging your computer into the wifi box via and eithernet cable and going into settings: sharing: internet tab: in the menu click: built in eithernet and check the airport box and click start then on the message that pops up click OK and on your iphone join the network that probably is your computer's name and you should have internet.
    hope that helps

  • RIO looses network connectivity after format disk

    Hello all,
    I have two 9014 cRIOs that I performed a format disk on after some trouble shooting activites.  Now I can not connect to either of them.  Each is acting slightly different.  I chose to reset the network adapter to its factory default settings during the disk format.
    RIO A - After format disk, the RIO will power up and show up as a unit in MAX.  However, very shortly after coming onlilne, the #3 LED starts blinking orange twice.  After this point I can't communicate with it.  Sometimes, it will remain online on MAX, sometimes it will drop there after.  When it does stay online, it doesn't allow me to run the formate disk again, load software, run the RAD utility, ... nothing.
    RIO B - After format disk, the RIO is not found in MAX at all.  #3 LED shows solid orange for about 4-5 minutes straight.  After that, it seems that it attempts a reboot, and again imediately go to solid orange.
    I've tried booting into safe mode, and resetting IP address.  Nothing is letting me in at this point.  Also, both were performed while wired into the eithernet port and the formate disk activity completely finished, so I don't see how anything could have been interupted in mid process. Is there anything else I can do at this point?  I appreciate any help.

    Hello AMP12
    How are you connecting the cRIO to the computer trough a router or directly to the computer with at crossover cable?
    Have you tried to add the cRIO to MAX with the default IP address when it is reset? The IP address should be 0.0.0.0 according to the manual page 9 and 12.
    Last but not the least we could check the IP address that the cRIO currently has with the console out port. Here is a link that explains how to do this.
    Regards
    Esteban R.
