Enable Ethernet port on VMS

I wish Verizon would Enable the Enable Ethernet port on the VMS. I Have coax and ethernet in 2 rooms and ethernet in all rooms the 2 Clients are connect ethernet olny and i would like toi switch to a top of the line router but i need take the fios router out of the picture. the olny way it would be benafical to me if i could have my setup like this
VMS via ethernet for network and coax for tv
ont --> Non-Fios Router ---> Clients via eathernet
other devices (Computers via Ethernet and WiFi)
current setup
VMS via coax
ont ---> Fios router ---> Clients via ethernet
other devices (Computers via Ethernet and WiFi)
If you like this idea click thumbs up I am trying to get verizon to implment this.
I would add the settop boxes to the DMZ on my non-fios router so there is no blocked ports between the ont and the settop boxa

leave the tv single the way it is over the coax but allow the data to be sent over ethernet instead of moca(coax). so the the QAM would still be on the coax but the img guide data, on damand data and other data for the box to go over ethernet. the IPC1100 boxes would be ethernet olny as i have the set up now
VMS would have coax and ethernet hoked up to it and client boxes have ethernet olny
then there world be no need for the verizon router
over all setup would look like this
instead of the current setup like this
i have 2-3 cat6 cables in each room going through the walls the go back to the Master bedroom closet

Enable ethernet port on the QIP6416 set top box

Please :-)

Why? The MoCa provides all the networking the boxes need. What I do not like are the constant broadcasts that the boxes make over coax that gets bridged over to ethernet through the router. Anyone have information on how to block this without causing problems with the STB? I currently have the ethernet enabled on my ONT, and the STB are MoCa through the router.

Unable to activate ethernet port to bridge airport network to wired clients

Hi,
I have two AE setup in a WDS arrangement. The WDS is working fine. My problem is that I want to connect wired clients to the remote station; but everytime I select "Enable ethernet port" and restart the AE, the option is unchecked and the ethernet port is disabled.
Can you help?
Many thanks,
David.

... everytime I
select "Enable ethernet port" and restart the AE, the
option is unchecked and the ethernet port is
disabled.
I saw similar behavior in my setup. I seem to have gotten it working now.
Finally, I actually attached an ethernet cable and wired client to the AE Ethernet port (instead of just trying to configure it without an actual client connected, which I tried several times). After that, when I checked the box for Enable and restarted the AE, it worked.
Did you get yours working?

Is there a device I can purchase to enable wifi on my old iMac, like something that plugs into the ethernet port?

Is there a device I can purchase to enable wifi on my old iMac, like something that plugs into the ethernet port?

Yes! There are lots of wifi adapters that will work with OS 9 on old iMacs. You can find a comprehensive list of them here:
http://lowendmac.com/macdan/md09/mac-os-9-wifi.html
Belkin seems to make a lot of wireless products for OS 9, so that would probably be the name to keep in mind. You can see one of these here:
http://cache-www.belkin.com/support/dl/belkin_wireless_usb_network_adapter_manua l_os9.pdf
If you're using an iMac G3, I think those are compatible with AirPort cards, so that's an option too. Good luck!

Enabling PowerChute via Ethernet port

Hi there, I purchased an APC no-break (Back-UPS ES 550) to keep my iMac safe. I noticed it comes with a cable that, alongside APC PowerChute software, shuts down my mac before the no-break battery runs out of energy.
The cable connects via USB. At the moment I have no USB ports available and, on the other hand, I have the ethernet port always unused.
APC people replied one of my posts suggesting I could get an adapter/converter from ethernet to USB and so the communication would be possible. This sounds a bit hard to believe to me, does anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance.
George...

Maybe the APC representative misunderstood what you wanted to do.
What is true is that you can adapt older 9-pin serial ports on APC uninterruptible power supplies to support USB connections using a serial to USB adapter from providers such as Keyspan. Than works, because the software on the computer to which your UPS is attached sees simply a USB interface.

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 do I add an airport extreme to existing time capsule network and be able to use the router ethernet ports?

Good day everyone. I recently upgraded my airport extreme network by replacing the base station with a time capsule router. Since I now have an "extra" airport extreme router, I've set it up on the other side of the house to both extend the wireless range as well as use it's LAN ports for a home theater system in that location. Connecting the two routers was done via ethernet. It now appears that I need to do something "else" as the LAN ports on the now relocated airport extreme are nonfunctional. All devices are operating well for wireless and as a review, the modem is connected to the time capsule WAN which is connected to the airport extreme via ethernet cable via LAN to it's WAN port. What do I need to change on configurations to get the LAN ports functioning on the airport extreme? Thank you for any help.

Connecting the two routers was done via ethernet. It now appears that I need to do something "else" as the LAN ports on the now relocated airport extreme are nonfunctional.
With both base stations interconnected by Ethernet you have the basis for a "roaming" type network. If properly configured, both base stations' Ethernet ports would be enabled for wired clients.
The key configuration items for a roaming network are as follows:
All base stations used must be interconnected by Ethernet.
The "main" base station; the one connected to the Internet modem, must be configured to provide both NAT & DHCP services; all other base stations used must be configured as bridges (NAT & DHCP disabled.)
Each base station must have a unique base station name.
Each base station must use the same wireless security type and password.

How can I make the 10/100BASE-T Ethernet port on my Airport Express work as a LAN-port? The AE is currently extending my network (generated by a Time Capsule)

Dear all.
I currently have a WIFI-network established by a Time Capsule. I want to use my Airport Express as WIFI-receiver for my Samsung TV. How do I pair them up so that the 10/100BASE-T ethernet port works as a LAN-port? I used to do it by setting it up as WDS but I understand this is not suitable for a "n" network.
Thx.

Under the wireless settings for the TIme Capsule, make sure that there is a check mark next to "Allow this network to be extended"
Then configure the AirPort Express to "Extend a wireless network". The Ethernet port on the Express is automatically enabled in this type of configuration and the AirPort Express will also provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.
See Apple's instructions in the link below. The iilustration shown in the support document shows an AirPort Extreme as the extending device, but the setup for the AirPort Express would be exactly the same

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.

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

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.

Trying to connect 2nd printer through Ethernet Port of AEX b/g

Hello all, Hello (maybe) Duane,
I do have a 2nd Airport Express b/g on our home network, and have a normal laser printer running as a wireless bonjour printer through that 2nd AEX, which is set up as a remote base station. I do have the Ethernet port free on that AEX, and want to connect a Brother 4040cn network ready color laser printer through the Ethernet port of this base station and use it as a bonjour printer? wirelessly... The AEX is set up as a remote base station to the main base station using WDS... I read a lot that the ethernet port only works when this station is in WDS mode - it is, but I still can't get it to work...
I talked to a guy at the Apple Store and he told me it should work, and that I somehow have to configure the Ethernet port of the AEX as a bridge so that could work.... ? It is not a supported solution (as expected...) so I tried to find that, but I am not able to work it out.
I can see the printer using the brother software, it shows me the status of the printer correctly, but I cannot get any printouts. The printing windows shows the printer, even lets me pick it as a bonjour printer, sends it off to the printer, but nothing arrives at the printer... I can use the web based printer management utility, which directly connects to the using the IP address, and can send stuff that is printed out, but i cannot get it working.
Hope that makes sense - anyone out there able to help?

Hello,
If you wanted to setup a wireless network, you could look at some Wireless Ethernet USB adapters (will work just like the AirPort):
http://www.afterthemac.com/
Understand that the "AirPort" is just Apple's fancy name for Standard WiFi Networking. It's not anything special. Just Apple's implementation.
So, any WiFi Ethernet Adapter is going to be compatible with Apple's Airport network.
If you want to use the standard USB to Ethernet adapters, then you could look to see if you can find a suitable driver that will either enable your adapter (the one you just purchased) to work, or perhaps find an adapter that has a 3rd-party driver and then purchase that one. The following website lists Mac OS drivers that will enable "Windows-Only" adapters to work:
http://www.sustworks.com/site/newsusbethernet.html
The problem there, is that most USB to Ethernet (not wireless) adapters come only with Windows drivers. So, this website provides information and support to make those devices with with Mac OS X.
Otherwise, I have not found a pre-packaged USB to Wired Ethernet device that comes with Mac drivers.
But, the first website lists lots of USB to Wireless Ethernet adapters that come with Mac Drivers.
I hope this helps.

Problem with ethernet port

So I have a wierd problem.
Sometimes the ethernet port is working, sometimes not.
I've tested the ethernet cable and it works perfect with other computerS.
I've tested my macbook pro with other ethernet cables and the problem still occurs.
I've tested the ethernet plug (in the wall) and it works pefect with other computerS.
So only last potential problem : the ethernet plug / card IN my macbook pro.
It is a 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7 with 8 Gb of 1067 Mhz DDR3 RAM, and OS X 10.7.4.
The problem is just random... sometime it works, sometime it doesn't... sometimes it works, and stop working... sometimes it works for days without problems... sometimes it doesn't work for days, with nothing to do.
Can anyone help? I don't think I'm on the warranty anymore... so before I go drop my MBP at an Apple Store, I want to make sure I've tryed everything.
Especially for the price I paid for this MBP, can't believe I'm hustling with such a basic feature......
THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!

I've used the reset chache solution with mixed success. I finally tripped over something that actually works every time. The "secret" seems to be getting the apply button active when you are on the "location" where the ethernet connection is configured. Here is what I did.
move the ethernet connection configuration to another "location" within network preferences. I called mine Home Wired.
When the cable disconnected situation occurs, switch to the location that has wireless and enable wireless. Now turn it back off.
Switch to the wired location and highlight the wired configuration and click apply. It goes through the steps of acquiring an IP and then you are connected.
Easy peezy

Giga ethernet ports switch from one to other

I have a DSL and a cable connection, I know I can't use both at the same time. So my question is if I have both plugged into the Pro how do I turn one on and other off?
do I need to reboot ?
Thanks
Dennis

Hi thelip,
You can enable and disable ports in the Networks preference pane. You could setup a seperate DSL and Cable location to help make it easier.
For more information about enabling and disabling Ethernet ports, see the Apple support document at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106800

Airport express connected to my existing network - Can I connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port?

Is it possible when my airport express is wirelessly connected to my existing network - to connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port or is it wireless only at that point?
I'm trying to connect my A/V Receiver in another room to my network without having to run a CAT5 cable all the way to the router. I'd rather be able to connect it to my airport express if it will work that way.

Is it possible when my airport express is wirelessly connected to my existing network - to connect a device to the network through it's ethernet port or is it wireless only at that point?
Yes.....IF
You have an AirPort Express 802.11"n" version configured to "join a wireless network" and you have enabled the option to "Enable Ethernet Clients"
Or
You have an AirPort Express 802.11"n" configured to "extend a wireless network" from another Apple "n" router, in which case the Ethernet port is enabled by default

Join Existing Network Wirelessly Disables Ethernet Ports?

So I have an Airport Extreme upstairs (my main router, connecting to modem), and another one downstairs. I have several devices downstairs that need Ethernet connection. Whenever I set up my downstairs AE to join existing wireless network created by the upstairs AE, the Ethernet ports are disabled.
I found it the hard way after spending 2 days trying to figure it out, and finally gave up and called Apple Technical Support, and after spending over 2 hours with the guy, he just found it then as well.
Can anyone confirm this as well? I'd like to be able to use both of them. Currently I have to resort to using an Airport Express plus a switch to get more than 1 Ethernet port.

Actually there are two types of WDS that the 802.11n AirPorts can support: 1) The older 802.11g static WDS, and 2) The newer 802.11n dynamic WDS. The only reason you would want to use the first type is if you had a mix of 802.11g & 802.11n AirPorts and wanted to create an extended network. Sorry, there is a lot of missing or confusing information about this and it is not well documented.
As you already know, the 802.11n AirPorts offer the options to "Allow this network to be extended" and "Extend a wireless network" which would be the correct settings for a dynamic WDS ... and the one I would recommend if you want to enable the Ethernet ports on the extending AirPort.

AIR-CAP702W local ethernet ports

Hi all,
The new AIR-CAP702W AP have 4 10/100/1000Base-T local Ethernet ports.
On the data-sheet it's written "for wired devices connectivity".
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/wireless/aironet-700-series/data_sheet_c78-728968.html
That's very good, but how do we manage the traffic on these ports?
Are we able to configure theses ports in access-mode with different VLAN-IDs?
So in that case the uplink of the AP should be in trunk-mode.
And where do we configure the ports of the AP, on the WLC?
Or is the traffic from the devices connected into these ports encapsulated into CAPWAP tunnel, like the wireless data traffic, and is terminated into the WLC(s)?
In that case, can we choose what port is associated to what VLAN/SSID on the WLC?
Or something else maybe?
Thank you for your help.
Jerome

The 4 x 10/100/1000BASE-T local Ethernet ports support half and full duplex mode, auto-negotiation, and MDI/MDIX Auto-Sensing. Devices you connect must support auto negotiation if you connect with another mode, say hard configured speed and so on. The port may not be enabled and depending on the version of code, for example 7.6.100.120 the initial release, the ports are not managed.
For now, (until more control is added in the software) all the LAN ports are locally switched, are mapped to the 702W VLAN, and do not appear on the Wireless LAN Controller or AP.
Initially, the ports are disabled and may be enabled manually via CLI.
This was done to minimize any security risks. Here are the CLI commands to enable the ports.
(Cisco Controller)> config ap lan <port id> <enable/disable> <AP-NAME>
(Cisco Controller)> show ap lan <port id> <AP-NAME>
(Cisco Controller)> show ap lan port-summary <AP-NAME>
Hope that helps.
