Ethernet Cable to WRE54G v3

I have a WRE54G Range Expander that is currently operating in a wireless mode over an encrypted network. The signal is very weak. so what i want to do is to run an ethernet cable from the router to the WRE54G Range Expander which would allow me to move the WRE54G closer to a wireless laptop (and thereby strengthen the wireless signal). Question, can i simply run the cable from the router to the WRE54G or do i have to configure the WRE54G first?

I don't think you can use the ethernet cable connector to connect the wre54g to a router to extend the signal strength.
it might be worth looking at some of the wireless access points or even a older router such as an wrt54g which can be connected via
ethernet cable to your router and will then function as a access point. Your wre54g could then be used to fill in any remaining dead spots however since the wre54g is a repeater your throughput will be roughly 50% of the the devices max. speed.

Blue screen error when connecting an ethernet cable

I have a Compaq Presario 5300US desktop that I'm trying to upgrade. It has 512mb (max) of memory and a newer video card than the factory one. I installed Vista Home Basic on it with no problems. I also installed a pci ethernet card along with the Vista drivers that came with it. I checked tha card's properties in "device manager" and it said "This device is working properly". I haven't plugged in an ethernet cable to the card at this point. Everything is working OK, but as soon as I try to connect the card to my router, I get a blue screen with this message:
Hardware Malfunction
NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Error
*** The system has halted***
I don't get any memory errors as long as I don't try to use the ethernet card.

Hello @larrycarol99,
I understand that after upgrading your computer when you plug in an ethernet cord you get a hardware malfunction error. I am providing you with a Microsoft Support document: Hardware Malfunction Results in System Error Message that explains what causes that error and provides steps on fixing it. I am also including a link to the Compaq Presario 5300US Desktop PC Drivers page, which unfortunately does not have any drivers for your computer running Windows Vista.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

HT4796 Migration assistant is telling me that it has lost connection with my Mac and to ensure they are on the same network. They are, and an ethernet cable is plugged into them. What do i do?

Migration Assistant has been running since yesterday evening. My Dell is now telling me that its trying to reconnect to my Mac and to ensure they are both using the same network. I have an Ethernet cable plugged in them and they are both on the same WiFi. What can I do?

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource

How to set up my airport extreme to share my net connection. i have a ethernet cable from my isp which when i use in my mac, i have to enter username

I access net through ethernet cable from my isp. so i just plug in the cable in my mac and in the browser it put the username & password. now i want to use my airport express to create a wireless network so i can access net from ipad and mac simultaneously. when i use airport express both my mac & ipad gets connected to airp exp but each of them ask for isp's username and password. i can only login from either one of them and access net in that one only. Pls advice???

To allow your Mac to "see" the HDD attached to an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that is configured as a bridge, just be sure to assign a static Private IP address to the AEBS. By default the AEBS is a DHCP client and will get a dynamic IP address from the upstream router that is acting as the DHCP server. Since this address can change over time, it would make it more difficult for network clients to find the HDD.

How to connect 2 ethernet cables to 1 port? Help me please.

My computer has one ethernet port, but I need to be able to connect two ethernet cables to it.
I am about to get satellite internet which requires an ethernet port and also about to sign up to a VoIP (Voice over IP) service which also requires an ethernet port.
Is there something I can buy or do to overcome this problem?
Sorry if this question seems obvious, but I really don't have a clue and would be very thankful for some good advice.
Cheers,
Crystal Venus.

Crystal,
You need an Ethernet Hub, or Router. This will allow you to "Split" the connection from your satellite internet to the VOIP phone box, and to your computer. These are readily available at any computer store, like Best Buy, CompUSA etc.
Your internet provider might even have some info for you on this front.

How do I access my time capsule using a Ethernet cable connected to my pc?

I am trying to access my saved files on my time capsule. I don't have internet so I'm trying to use an Ethernet cable. I'm using a PC laptop not a Mac. I have no idea how to access them.

Load the airport utility for windows.. as that helps by loading the bonjour for windows service.
Then open windows explorer and type the IP of the TC directly which you will find in the airport utility.
\\10.0.1.1 (that is default.. replace with whatever the actual is).

How can I use my time capsule with Ethernet cable? How is it also possible to use time capsule as a normal external hard drive?

My problem is that I don't know how to use my Time Capsule with Ethernet Cable, as when I use wireless it is really slow.

Make sure that there is an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your modem/wireless router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule
Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the page
Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off (I assume that you do not want the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network since you already have a wireless network)
Next, click the Internet icon at the top of the screen, then click the Internet Connection tab
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click the Update button at the bottom and wait 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart and display a green light
Then, you must power off your entire network...all devices....in any order that you want
Wait a minute
Start your modem/router first and let it run a minute
Start the Time Capsule and let it run a minute
Keep starting devices one at a time until everything is powered up
If you are using Time Machine for backups, you will need to reset the connection because you have changed the way in which the Time Capsule connects to your network
Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
Open Time Machine
Click Select Disk
Click the Time Capsule to highlight it
Click Use for Backup or, it might be Use Disk
Now you can connect your Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to back up using Ethernet. Be sure to turn off the wireless on your Mac before you start the backup.
If you want to backup using wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Time Capsule and turn on the wireless and connect to your wireless network. Your computer will now backup using wireless.

Snow Leopard: I can't login when ethernet cable is plugged in.

I have a Aluminum 2007 iMac running Snow Leopard. When I try and boot it with all the cables plugged in (Keyboard, External Harddrive, Speakers, Ethernet, Second Display), it will bring up the login screen but then when I try and login, it will just hang at the default Snow Leopard Aurora Wallpaper. It shows the cursor but doesn't load the Finder or anything else. After leaving it be for a few mins, I restarted it a few times and it did the same thing. I have Archived and Installed a few times so far and that didn't fix it.
When I tried unplugging all the cables, it booted properly and works like a charm. When I plugged the Ethernet Cable in and booted it, it freezes like it used to. I tried plugging in other things and they work. But when the ethernet cable is plugged in at Startup, it will freeze at the default wallpaper (Located in System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg).
When I have the ethernet cable it will boot into Safe Boot.
Then when I booted it up without the ethernet cable it brought up two alert windows saying that Insecure Startup Item disabled. It says that /Library/StartupItems/tap and /Library/StartupItems/tun have can't be started because they don't have proper security settings. I looked them up and they appear to be Virtual Networking Interfaces (probably installed when I installed Parallels 4.0). Removing them and restarting with the ethernet cable in still has the same affect as before (freezing).
Anyone have any idea the ethernet cable is causing this to not login correctly.
Additional Information:
iMac
1TB HDD
3GB RAM

I suspect that it's busy trying to mount a network file system of some type.
Are there any errors in your logs that seem appropriate (viewable via Applications->Utilities->Console?)

I am unable to set up my new Time Capsule with my BT Home Hub - every time i connect the ethernet cable from Wan port to Home Hub, the internet signal drops

Hi there -
I've just purchased a new Time Capsule, and would like to set up a small home network with my Laptop, iMac and wireless printer. I'm following the first steps, but as soon as I connect an ethernet cable between the WAN port of the TC and the ethernet port of the HH, my BT internet connection drops out and I have to restart the HH. Upon which point it drops out again. The airport utility can see my TC, and gets as far as me typing in the new network name and setting up a password, but then it can't quite get through to the next stage. All the time it's just flashing amber.
Please help!

Setup the TC in bridge mode before you cannot it to the HH.
Simply do the setup fully in isolation. And do it by ethernet.
Setup wireless to create a wireless network.
You can use either same SSID =Wireless name as the HH .. same security same password.
Or use a different name and setup.. totally up to you.
Update the TC and then plug it into the HH by ethernet.

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. Any tips on how to do this?

I am trying to connect a Windows 7 / 64 bit to an Epson printer on my Mac. The printer is hooked into the Mac via USB; the Mac is networked to a Linksys wireless router with an ethernet cable, as is the Windows box. I installed the current Bonjour printer services software on the Windows machine, and separately installed the driver software for the Epson printer on the WIndows machine. Running the bonjour wizard, I get an alert saying 'I don't have sufficient access to my computer to connect to the selected printer'.
The printer has 'sharing' turned on from the Mac end; this works with a Powerbook via the wireless connection. Sharing is also turned on in the Windows printer control panel for this printer (under properties). The Mac is a G5 running 10.5.8. When I try to print a page from the Windows machine it gets hung in the print queue.
Any advice how to proceed would be appreciated!
thx,

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

I am trying to setup airport express. do i have to have it connected to an ethernet cable? i want to connect it wirelessly

i am trying to setup an airport express wirelessly. can this be done or do i have to have an ethernet cable pluged into it?

You can set up the Express using AirPort Utility and wireless only, but you must first log on to the default network that the Expess provides.....Apple Network xxxxxx....and then open AirPort Utility.
No password is required.
For most users, the Ethernet cable method is simpler....if you have a spare Ethernet cable handy.

I am having difficulty connecting apple tv to our network via ethernet cable.

I am trying to connect to an apple tv on our office network. It seems to pick up the network configuration but doesnt connect when I turn on home sharing. We have a proxy server for connections to the internet so I dont know whether this is the show stopper or something else like incorrect setting of date and time. I thought I could set up and use the apple tv without a connection to the internet. Any advice would be appreciated. If an internet connection is absolutely necessary may be I could set up an Airport that talks to our proxy server.

COMPUTERS SETTINGS means AppleTV is not accessing the Internet network.
By "changing the lead" I assume you mean you've made certain you are using a proven / known working Ethernet cable and you've also attempted, unsucessfully, to connect via WiFi ?
If those things are true it sounds like you need to consult the school network administrator for onsite assistance.
I ran into this problem once but did not have time to work through it. I will duplicate portions of your problem today to see if I can better resolve your question

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

I'm trying to get on the internet and it is saying unable to connect to your server any ideas what I have to do to get on the internet I know the ethernet cable is OK.

Disconnect the ethernet cable from your mac,
disconnect the modem and the router from the power,
wait for at least 30 seconds,
connect the power to the modem, wait for at least thirty seconds,
connect the power to the D-Link, wait for at least thirty seconds,
connect the ethernet cable to the mac.
