Ethernet Bridge Problem

Well, i just bought a hawking Ethernet bridge. i set it up according to the manuel, and now i plue it into the back of my mac and it computer doesn't work. i try and set it up manually, but it won't connect. anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
Is it this model? Are you trying to connect to a wireless router / base station (if so, which model?) or directly to another computer/device? Has the correct mode been chosen? What about the security settings (WPA, if possible)? What about TCP/IP settings? You may have to provide us with more information to begin with.

  • Outdoor Mesh AP Ethernet Bridging Problem

    Hi All,
    I've setup 6 X 1522 MESH APs.
    Setup:
    There is 1 RAP and the rest are MAPs. All APs have already successfully registered with the WLC (4402-50), with the RAP being the hub and all other MAPs a single hop away. APs are all in VLAN 10 (same vlan as the AP manager) and the WLC management interface is in VLAN 9. Bth VLANs are routable to each other. All APs are configured with Ethernet Bridging checked and all are configured with the same bridge group name. The switchports (Fa0/8) for each switch connected to each AP is configured to be trunk mode with native Vlan of 10. All switches are also configure with other VLANs such as VL20 - 30 besides the mentioned VL9 & 10.
    Problem:We tried to bridge VLAN 20 across the wireless bridge by plugging a notebook(A) to a switchport (Fa0/1: sw mode access & sw ac vl 20) belonging to a switch connected to MAP1; and another notebook(B) also plugged in to a VL 20 access port whose switch is connected to the RAP. From notebook A, we were able to ping all relevant IP addresses (notebook B, WLC management IP, VL 20, VL30 ip addresses of equipment somewhere else in the network behind the RAP). This means the wireless bridge is already working as VL20 is already bridge across th MAP and RAP. However, when we tried to do anything else, such as ftp, IPERF, some other TCP dependent application, it doesn;t work. we setup a FTP server on notebook B and used notebook A to retrieve a file. ftp client in notebook A was able to perform login, list directory. But when a file is being pulled, it stopped after it downloaded exactly 1024byte of information. FTP will timeout after a while with only 1024byte transferred. However, using tftp, we were able to complete transferring the entire file. It seems that the wireless bridge or the switches which the hosts were connected to allows tftp (UDP) to go through but restricted big packets/blocks of TCP information to go through (since only file transfer or any other application involving larger data exchange fails, but logging in and telneting applications still works).
    Very puzzled as we had previously configured wireless bridging before on the same model of APs and it was working.
    Can any experts here offer any advise to our problem?
    BTW, the WLC is on the latest version of the MESH firmware as of today. All APs gets their IP address dynamically from a router in VLAN 10 configured with the correct DHCP pool and option 43 parameters. DHCP should be working well as our APs are all registered with the correct range of IP addresses and all APs are pingable from anywhere in the network. LinkSNR between the RAP and the MAPs are very good ranging from 30-38 hence it should not be an issue of poor signal or interference or noise.
    Thank you
    Alvin

    I've personally not configured the MESH gear to form a bridge, so I can't provide any "real world" expertise. Here is short document on how to set it up, so maybe something within it will catch your eye:

  • WET11 Ethernet Bridge Problems

    Hello! Quick question I hope... Approximately 6 months to a year ago I picked up an old G3 with the hopes of simply using for internet.
    We bought a wet11 bridge and I got it all hooked up after literally 5 hours of toiling. (I'm not very expierienced with networking wirelessly especially with the different settings of a mac)
    Long story short, we painted my sisters room and we unplugged her wireless bridge in the process and now when we plugged it back in the internet doesn't work. Could anyone either walk me through the process or at least point me in the right direction of an instructional website?
    I'm embarassed to admit that I completely forget the steps I used to set it up in the first place.
    The help I've recieved through these discussion boards has been really helpful and I appriciate any advice anyone has to offer.
    Thanks again!

    a router should be easier to deal with than a bridge actually. linksys products all work in a similar way, you type in the default IP address for the device in your browser and that will connect you to the device. the linksys technical support page seems to indicate that itss http://192.168.1.1
    One thing you might want to try is resetting the factory defaults on the router. it may have been previously set up different and that could be making things more difficult. There should be a button someone on the device you can hold down for 30 seconds or so that resets it. Once that is done, the default password for the router is reset as well, so you need to put in "admin" without the quotes in the password field (login name remains blank).

  • Thunderbolt Ethernet bridge not recognised

    I have an original Apple Thunderbolt Ethernet bridge (TEB) for my brand new MBP 13" retina Mid 2014 edition and I am running Yosemite 10.10.2. I connect to the internet via ethernet regularly to play online video games. I recently plugged in my TEB and found that it wasn't connecting me to the internet. I checked network preferences and tried to run diagnostics but in the network preferences it says there is nothing plugged into the Thunderbolt port. However, when I go to system information and under the hardware tab I selected Thunderbolt, with the TEB connected there is a little drop down menu named Thunderbolt bus and under it it says Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. If I remove the TEB, this drop down option is not there, which gives me the impression that the computer is recognising the TEB, but somehow something is wrong with the software that isn't allowing me to connect.
    Further information before any of you suggest something simple because I've tried all the simple solutions
    I went to the apple store with my TEB and asked them to check if it was working, they confirmed that there is nothing wrong.
    I've also used a brand new ethernet cable, one that I know is working to connect to the modem. And obviously my internet is working because otherwise I wouldnt be writing this.
    So if anyone knows what I can do to fix this problem please help!
    I've used the app EtreCheck and here were the results, doesn't seem like anything is wrong

  • Can't get ethernet bridge to connect to network

    Hi
    I am trying to connect my old iMac G3 (10.2) to my airport express network with an Aeropad Mini (an ethernet bridge powered by USB hub on my mac - made by Macsense).
    The network is seen successfully by an iMac G5, an Intel Macbook and a PC. The connection occasionally works but more often than not it does not see my airport express - instead it connects to a self-assigned IP. Sometimes it connects then drops off halfway through. Other times it just will not connect at all.
    There are no drivers and you set it up via your browser. I can connect to the status and set-up page (192.168.1.50), after entering all the Aeropad info manually, and most times it can see my Airport Express (via the Site Survey on the set-up pages). but sometimes it does not even get that far. I reset the aeropad and restart the mac many times, and sometimes it works but mostly it doesn't.
    I'm using channel 11 and it's WAP-encrypted.
    Things I've tried:
    updating the firmware from the macsense website
    checking it's on client mode
    manually entering the DNS address of my router - 10.0.1.1.
    Trashing the internetconfig preferences from the library
    making sure that ethernet is at the top of my network port configurations
    Plugging it into a powered USB hub
    Trying it on my MacBook (running Leopard).
    Still can't connect - just a self-assigned IP - even on on the new macbook.
    Any help would be appreciated as I really can't get this to work and it's beginning to take over my life!. I thought it was working after I entered the DNS address but it just went down again the next day.
    Thanks.

    This is probably repeating the steps which you have taken already, but I thought I'd put them in one place just in case.
    Problem:
    If you're able to see other wireless networks but not your own. (And it works with AppleTV version 1.x)
    It can be any of the following:
    1. No wireless signal/out of range (check your multicast setting and put this as low as possible, check the range with other wireless devices/moving your appletv closer)
    2. The wireless SSID is set to invisible/private (use "Other" on AppleTV and enter the SSID manually.)
    3. The AppleTV doesn't support the channel used. (Tune the wireless to use a lower channel such as those under 10.)
    4. The AppleTV is not supporting the security of your encryption.
    Troubleshooting:
    1. First try setting up a basic wireless network with no security, no frills such as a high multicast rate or high channel number and as a basic wireless b or g network. Position the AppleTV next to the basestation and then attempt to make the appletv connect to it. (Do not use an AdHoc network with your mac, as the AppleTV doesn't see these.) At this stage you're just trying to see if the AppleTV is even able to connect to your hardware. If this doesn't work there is possibly a larger problem at hand.
    2. If this works, then move the devices to their desired locations. (This checks that it's not a range/interference issue.)
    3. If this is still working, then the problem lays in a configuration setting. Firstly enable a security protocol, avoid WEP. Keep adding settings, keeping changes from the default to a minimum.
    If you can't get past step 1, then it could be an issue with your wifi base station. Try getting the AppleTV to connect to a different wireless basestation (perhaps borrow one from a friend or a neighbour's unsecured network.)

  • Web-based utility will not load on new wet54g ethernet bridge

    I just got a WET54g ethernet bridge to connect my bluray player to my existing network (wrt54gs router).  I cannot get the setup cd to recognize the bridge connected to the laptop or the router.  I thought that it would be no problem, just use web-based set-up.  When attempting to access 192.168.1.226 I have to enter the password three times and then a blank page is loaded.  Chat support ended up getting disconnected, so no luck there.  Supposedly some of the steps chat wallked me through updated the firmware through ftp download, but I feel like nothing was done since you can't access the set-up page. Any suggestions are welcome.  I'm running vista if that helps.

    Start it from Scratch...Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your WET54G(ethernet bridge), wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your WET54G(ethernet bridge)...Follow the link here to re-configure the WET54G(ethernet bridge)...Also under the configuration type select Static IP Address : For IP Address enter : 192.168.1.226, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 and save the settings...
    After doing these you can unplug the Ethernet Bridge from the router and power cycle your router and the ethernet bridge both...Connect your ethernet bridge to your bluray player and test for active connection...

  • WRT610N v2- Which Ethernet Bridge to buy to go with it for LG BD370 BluRay player?

    I have a WRT610N v2 router, which I LOVE.  I need an ethernet bridge (to connect a LG BD370) Blu-Ray DVD player.  I've spoken with Linksys tech support & I'm sad to say, got misinformed.  I'd actually ordered a PLS300 (which I cancelled) when I found out there weren't any updates for it.  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. 
    The tech support person first told me I needed a WET610N & then changed her mind.
    The WRT610N is located in the office about 15 yards from where I need to connect the  ethernet support to the entertainment system.   I also have a wireless printer (Lexmark Platinum PRO905 that is about 5 feet from the LG Blu ray player.  Is the ethernet bridge going to interfere with the Blu ray player?
    I'm just wanting to get connected to NetFlix.  I've paid for this service since last spring but am just now getting around to sorting this out.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  TIA 

    Thanks, Gollum!  I've now got the WET610N ordered & the EZXS55W ethernet switch.  They both should be here by Friday.
    The WRT610N router is in my office, hardwired to the HughesNet modem & HP Desktop running Windows XP Pro.  The two new laptops (HP dv7-3078nr and HP dv8t-1000 (both running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit)) and the Lexmark Platinum Pro905 AIO are in my den (about 30 feet away).  Right now, the dv8 (my main laptop I keep on continuosly & the Lexmark Pro905 are both here in the den, connected wirelessly to the WRT610N.
    Here is the configuration of the entertainment system:
    LG 50PS60 Plasma HDTV
    LG LHT854 Surround Sound
    LG ACC97WK-R Wireless Rear Speaker
    LG BD370 BluRay DVD Player
    I have DISH network with a 722K DVR
    Do I need to connect the WET610N first?  Then add the bridge?  This is where I am afraid I am going to mess up. 
    Right now, everything is working GREAT. 
    Do you think I need to hardwire the Lexmark printer into the switch? 
    Could someone please advise (in very simple steps) what I need to do to get the WET610N & ethernet bridge connected?
    All I want to do is be able to download NetFlix movies!  I am scared that the (((HughesNet))) is going to be the problem due to their low FAP cap.  Due to my location (I am 25 miles from the closest town with wireless (Verizon, Sprint, etc) offices & have already tried 3 different wireless cards here (none of which worked due to our location).
    I'm beginning to think it would have been simpler to just buy the LG BD390 (wifi already installed) & put my BD370 on eBay! LOL
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!  TIA

  • Connecting WAG320n to WRT610n using WET610n ethernet bridge

    I have upgraded my network with a WAG320n Router/modem and have a WET610n (ethernet bridge) in my remote room.  Because the WET is only one port, I would like to connect my old WRT610n router to the bridge, but need to know the right settings and connection info.  The purpose is to use the additional ports and wireless from the remote location.    
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Problem solved and improved on
    Thanks Klatch,
    The WAG320n is nice, but not simultaneous dual band, so I set it for 5Ghz.  I hard wired an accesspoint (WAP610n) to the router, set it for 2.4Ghz, and placed it about 3 meters apart from the Router.  This gave me better access on the second floor for all devices with either bands.  (I gave the access point it's own SSID to distinguish it).
    To expand coverage to the first floor I installed the wireless N Ethernet Bridge (WET610N) on the fringe range of my routers output (still 4 bars).  The bridge is set to 5Ghz - because that's what the WAG320 is.  Then I connected the WRT610N router (which is simultaneous dual band) to the bridge.  You plug the bridge into a LAN port on the WRT610N, NOT the WAN port.  The WRT610 was programmed to 192.168.1.2, DHCP turned off, NAT disabled.  I have the other 3 WAN ports hard wired to devices (Playstation, Slingbox, Blue Ray Player).  All other first floor PC's are connected wirelessly via the 5GHZ or 2.4GHZ bands.  The first floor coverage is excellent.   I maintained different SSID's for each Router and the Access Point, to distinguish which router or band I want to connect to.
    If linksys only made the WAG320 simultaneous dual band, it would provide the extended coverage to all older and newer devices!!    The whole world isn't wrapped around 5Ghz yet!  So..  If you want to extend and use another router as a repeater (wirelessly) you need a wireless Ethernet Bridge (or gaming adaptor) from the primary router and connect it to the secondary router.   Anything can be done with a little effort.  Thanks

  • The WRE54G as an ethernet bridge?

    Hiya,
    I have a wre54g  and i also have a xbox 360 thats too far away to plug into the ethernet. As i dont want to pay 99 dollars for microsofts wifi xbox 360 thing, i was wondering if the front ethernet port could possibly be used as an ethernet bridge. That is to say, the device receives the signal and i use the ethernet port to get online with the 360 directly.
    Is such a thing possible? simply plugging in the ethernet cord and power caused it to recognize the fact it was plugged in, but couldent find an ip adress.
    Thanks in advance.

    I purchased a WRE54G range expander because the signal to the upstairs wireless computers was weak.  The expander solved the problem.  However, I thought I could also use it as a ethernet bridge for my son's PS2 -  from this thread it appears not.
    So the question is if I get a WAP54G, will it serve both purposes (i.e., will it epand the range like the WRE54G does, as well as allow him to connect the PS2 to the web through the wireless network)?

  • Help -Can't print to my HP LaserJet via Ethernet Bridge

    I have a new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.5. I'm trying to print with my old HP Laserjet 4MP Postcript printer. The printer is an old serial port printer connected to an Asante Ethernet Bridge with an Ethernet cord that plugs into my computer. This has worked fine for years on my G4 with OS 10.3. But, as soon as I try to use the same connection with the same settings on my new MBP, I get nothing.
    Printer Setup finds the drivers for this printer no problem. Connected via AppleTalk. However, when I send something to print it never prints. The printer window just keep saying "Waiting for Job to Complete..."
    Any ideas why I can't print. I've repaired permissions and I search other forums, but other people seem to be able to print like this???
    Or, are there any alternative drivers that I could use to access this printer?
    Thanks!
    Laura

    I don't have an answer but can suggest a couple of things. I use an old HP Laserjet 2100 with built-in ethnernet. I don't use Appletalk to print but IP printing. Your bridge must have a TCP/IP address. You might be able to use IP printing to send directly to that. Another idea is maybe you need to enable Appletalk on the MBP. By default it's disabled you can turn it on in the networking panel. You might already have that so I'm not sure if that would help. One last thing might if you have the firewall on in the sharing preferences that could be blocking it also.

  • Using Older Airport Express as an wireless/ethernet bridge

    Hi there,
    I noticed that people are using their Airport Express (n) products to create a bridge to wireless networks via the ethernet port on the Express.
    Is this possible for older non-N Airport Expresses?
    I read online that one could set up a WDS network, but I am having -no- luck doing that. Each time I try, I am prompted to enter other nodes on the WDS network, but there's a chicken and egg problem since the first node I am trying to set up keeps requiring other nodes before applying the changes to the configuration it is very frustrating.
    I have an Airport Extreme (b/g) and two airport expresses (b/g) and would very very much like to connect an ethernet-run skype phone to one of the expresses. I currently use one as an AirTunes node, and the other (the one I want to use for the skype ophone) as a wireless printer node. Is it possible to use the latter as an ethernet bridge? Can I do that without setting up a WDS network? If I have to have a WDS network, what are the step by step instructions I should follow to do that for all the hardware listed above?
    This seems a lot harder than it should be.

    +I noticed that people are using their Airport Express (n) products to create a bridge to wireless networks via the ethernet port on the Express.+
    +Is this possible for older non-N Airport Expresses?+
    It is only possible with the older Express if you also have an Apple main router and setup all the devices in a WDS arrangement. If you are having difficulty setting up the WDS on your network, reference pages 42-44 in the Designing AirPort Networks Guide for a step by step procedure of this. Or, perhaps you might want to use one of the excellent posts by Tesserax for this as well. See this post.

  • Wireless router and bridge problems

    I am having some difficulties with this setup and I am not sure what the problem is.
    I am using a Linksys Wireless G router and I am also using a Linksys Wireless N Ethernet bridge.
    Here is what I want to do with this setup:
    I want to be able to connect the bridge to my DLink 5 port desktop switch.
    I can connect the bridge directly to my desktop PC and it works with no problem, but when the bridge is connect to the desktop switch my PC cannot get an IP. All equiptment is pretty much brand new (the bridge and switch are less than 6 months old and the router I just bought last month).
    I know that this setup is possible because I have used this configuration at work before with no issues. The only thing I haven't tried is to use a crossover cable for the bridge>switch. But I didn't think that was needed.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Sorry I already tried different ports and even several different network cables and still get the same results.
    An IP of 169.254.x.x
    I will try a different switch and post the results later tonight.
    Yeah, I thought it would be as simple as configuring the bridge and hooking it up to the switch, but has turned into serious fustration. Especially since I have gotten this setup to work in the past.

  • AEBS and AExpress N ethernet bridge disconnects when I sleep MBP??

    Hi all this is my first post but im a long time mac user having grown up in a mac house.
    anyways im an it guy by profession and ive been working at this issue to no avail so I figured I might come on there and see if any of you have experienced this issue
    the issue I get is that when I close/sleep my MBP it disconnects the Airport Express ethernet bridge clients
    NETWORK Info
    I run a small business from my home thus I have FiOS (yay 20/20) with a block of 13 static ips that i distribute via DHCP and MAC reservation to allow remote access to my network as well as keep things consistent.
    I currently run cat6 from my FiOS ONT to my Airport Extreme Base Station, which i use on a strict N only in 5ghz range as my area is flooded with b/g networks but no n networks (yay again).
    I recently acquired an N Airport Express to provide a wireless to ethernet bridge thus extending my network to my entertainment center (ps3 xbox etc)
    (extra info: im using n here because i found that b/g limits my internet connection speeds to 7-9 mbps where as my connection is capable of 20. On my n speed network I can get my full bandwidth wirelessly, yes I know there is obviously some bandwidth and throughput loss by going wireless but not as much as a b/g network was giving me)
    NETWORK SETTINGS
    On my n network I distribute a range of IP addresses from my static block. I have tried a few different dhcp lease times which definitely improved my initial problem which seemed that it would log me out when the key rotated every 20 min. Currently ive bumped that up to 1 day (i know not as secure id like to set it back to 20min but it seems that when it rotates that it logs me out) and haven't had that specific issue revolving around key rotation again. ive tried the WDS, Extend a network and join a network options with no real difference in behavior when I shut my laptop and for example my GF is playing rock-band online she gets disconnected also worth noting that it seems there is an intermittent DNS issue on the express ie cant find time server even though at that time ethernet clients are able to connect and get dns response
    Below is my log from my express base station when the disconnect occurs

  • Time Capsule 7.3.1 not working as an ethernet bridge

    So my DSL provider AT&T gave me a plane jane router (no wifi) that does NAT and DHCP. My airport express works without flaw and has done so for the last year.
    I just bought a time capsule and can't get it to work as an ethernet bridge and the other options are not going to work since the DSL router does all the ip stuff (I'm no networking expert, but I did futz around with the other routing options for time capsule and didn't get anywhere).
    When I do attempt to use timecapsule in bridge mode, I get the following error that pops up in a dialog box after the capsule restarts and my laptop connects:
    " IP config 192.168.1.64 in use by 00:1f:f3:3c:de:46, DHCP Server 192.168.1.254"
    Now, I opened network utility and the "00:1f" device listed isn't my macbook. I've also turned off all the other wireless devices in my house and have done the whole restart everything and reapplying the settings to the timecapsule afresh. Nothing seems to work. Any insight would be really appreciated.

    I'm having the same problem, but in my case it's a bit worse. I cannot connect to the TC drive at all from my macbook until I reset the TC. Attempting to connect via finder results in a "Connection Failed" response. After resetting the TC, it will work fine for a while (I don't have any more exact time frame, sorry) then starts failing again.
    I have had this TC for 6 months, and after the initial hiccups, it's been working flawlessly. This latest problem started just after upgrading to 7.4.1. I intend on downgrading this evening after work, to see if that will fix the problem and restore the flawless service I had before.

  • WLC ethernet bridge

    Hi,
    I've a WLC 2106 and it is running IOS version 7.0.240. I am trying to setup a wireless mesh and used the ethernet bridge port on the MAP to extend the network. The wireless mesh works fine but I can not get the switch to work that is connected to the ethernet port on the MAP.
    I'm using two different Access points. I'm using a Air Cap 3502i as the RAP and a Air Lap1142N as the MAP.
    The switch port that is connected to the RAP and MAP is configured as the following:
    switchport mode trunk
    switchport trunk native vlan 2
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30,40
    The RAP etherbridge port is enable and set to: normal
    The MAP etherbridge port is enable and set to: Trunk,
    native vlan is set to: 2
    Vlan id 10
    Vlan id 20
    The wireless mesh between the RAP and MAP works fine. I can connect a device to the MAP wirelessly and access the network with no problem but I can not get anything to work that connects to the switch that is connected to the MAP ethernet port.
    Could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    　

    I would open a TAC case as this is a bug. I don't recall what code it stopped working but I know it doesn't work also in the v7.3 & v7.4
