Ethernet connection is not visible.

Hi,
I am using vmware player 7.1.0 in windows 7. I installed ubuntu in it, with internet NAT setting it's working fine when I created. But once in a blue it stop the ethernet connection when starting my VM, from then ethernet connections are missing. I got this bug twice.
I checked with another os in the same vm they are working fine.
Please help me how to get ethernet connections back.
Kiran

If you see the list of drivers for windows xp, you don't see the WLAN xp driver for Atheros (it is an Atheros adapter, not Realtek). Find drivers again but don't select an operating system. Click on the Atheros WLAN driver for Vista. After you get a list of drivers and here you will find the xp driver for Atheros.
I did, and now it is working.

Wireless network works fine but Ethernet connection does not

Airport Extreme base station connected to DSL line connects perfectly with remote Macs. However, the hardwired Ethernet connection to my G4 is not recognized. When I connect the DSL modem to the G4 using an Ethernet cable, it works perfectly. Genius at the Apple store replaced my AP Extreme base station to no avail. Can anyone suggest what I should check for?

I have seen this exact problem when attempting to configure his iMac through Ethernet to a D-Link Router and an iBook with Airport Extreme (wirelessly) to the D-Link. The D-Link was connected to a DSL modem. The symptoms were that the wireless connection was working perfectly, but the iMac was unable to connect through Ethernet. I worked for hours trying to eliminate every possible issue. Finally, called D-Link for support and discovered the problem. I had configured the D-Link through the iBook for connection. Consequently, with it was necessary to change the iMac connection to DHCP, otherwise the logon attempt was redundant. After a fews of frustration, the lesson was thoroughly learned.

Specific website loads only under ethernet connection, but not with wi-fi

Hi folks,
I have this issue I couldn't figure out by myself. Everytime I try to load the website joaoribeiro.com from any of my devices connected to my house's wi-fi connection, website fails to load without error messages. However, if I connect it directly to my modem, website just goes fine.
My network topology:
Modem (not router) + Time Capsule.
I've tried to add open DNS either through system preferences and on Airport Utility. I've hard reset my TC, recreate the network, tried different IP ranges and prefixes, such as 172.16, 192.68 (here in Brazil).
When it comes to ping the joaoribeiro, timeout occurs. I don't think it is something with the ISP, because modem is assigning proper IP addrss and DNS servers.
Any clues?
I also thought about removing the host file, but since it happens to all computers, so the network itself wouldn't write "blocking instructions" to iPad, iPhone and other computers.
Thanks.
<Link Edited By Host>

I`ve already tested by ethernet connection to the TC from a computer. As instructed by you, i`ve turned off ipv6 and went back to earlier firmware 7.5.2 but issue persists.
it used to work in the past. actually the issue started about 15 days ago. i did not make any changes in the network or update it.
At first i thought that it was something related to my ISP or even my website hosting, but i've alrealy contact them both and they say that there is nothing blocking the access to my webpage: joaoribeiro (dot) com
Till now i`m running out of ideas on how to fix this issue.
I'd appreciate any help on this.
Regards.

Time Machine works on Ethernet connection but not wireless

Hi,
This weekend I setup time machine to work with a NAS drive connected to my wireless router. If I connect my macbook to the router directly via an ethernet cable, and start a backup, it works fine. If I however try to start a backup when only on wireless it always fails. Here's what messages I'm getting:

Time Machine doesn't work well, if at all, with many NASs. See the pink box in #2 of [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
There are several threads in the Snow Leopard > Time Machine forum with what appear to be similar problems with Iomega NASs.

An indication of a bad wireless connection or interference, but could also be the setup of the NAS or compatibility with the way the router works in wireless mode.

You've posted in the Leopard forum, and didn't specify what version of OSX you're on. But those messages usually indicate that your NAS is not fully compatible with the Time Machine requirements on Snow Leopard.

Those are errors reading from the backups; specifically, getting extended attributes from the backups on your NAS (a "snapshot" is Time Machine's name for a backup folder).
First, contact the maker of the NAS for updated software/firmware compatible with Snow Leopard.
That might fix the problem. If not, all we can tell you is, it may be some problem with the setup of the NAS, and/or compatibility with the wireless function of your router. See the maker's instructions/Help/support.

10.10.3 broke my ethernet connection but not my WiFi

I usually connect to the internet on my late 2008 MacBook via Wifi, and when I need the additional speed I just plug in the ethernet cable from the router to the laptop. But following the update to 10.10.3 (and following some changes that needed to be made to the router settings), I can still connect to the WiFi fine, but not with ethernet. Even when I completely remove the router from the equation, connecting to the internet with the ethernet cable directly to the modem does not work. Any help?

1. If the computer is connected through a switch to a cable or DSL modem, and the modem is not acting as a router, then only the first device to connect will get an address. You need to change the configuration of the modem so that it shares its Internet connection with all devices on the local network, or else connect a router.
2. If there are other devices on the same network, and none of them can get an address, then the problem is on the DHCP server (most likely, the router.)
3. If other devices are working normally, or if there are no others, the problem may be caused by a faulty cable or port on the hub. Switch connections with one of the working devices.
4. Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Ethernet service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane.
If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password.
From the Location menu at the top of the window, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Ethernet service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.

Time Capsule connected but not visible in Airport Utility

Hi there,
My Time Capsule is visible in the finder windows as a drive, I am connected to it, and it is my link to Internet, it is visible from my wife's iMac in the next room, but it won't appear in the Airport utility (I can see only the two Air Port Extreme that are in other parts of the house for remote speakers).
All this is done within the same network as far as I know, so I don't see where the problem comes from.
In fact I want to access my TC configuration in order to get back the password needed for my wife to connect to it.

If you can temporarily connect your computer to the Time Capsule with an Ethernet cable, you should be able to see it in AirPort Utility.
In fact I want to access my TC configuration in order to get back the password needed for my wife to connect to it.
Until you can resolve the AirPort Utility issue, you may be able to recover that password with the Keychain Access utility.

WiFi turning off when Ethernet connected, and not coming back on

Since about last Tuesday (possibly when I updated to Safari 7.0.6), whenever I connect my MacBook Air (2011) to ethernet, my WiFi turns off. When I disconnect the ethernet, the WiFi does not turn back on, which makes this an annoying problem. If I try to manually turn it on while Ethernet is still connected, it does the scanning animation a few times, and then turns back off. Without the ethernet, once WiFi is turned back on, it works just fine. I'm using both the Apple USB to Ethernet adapter and a StarTech Thunderbolt hub with Gigabit ethernet, and this happens with both. Everything is up to date, and the only change that coincided with this new behavior is Safari, but I don't remember if I updated it before of after the problem appeared, and I may not have noticed the problem for a few days as I don't often use my mac away from a wired connection.
Is this a known problem? Any known solution? When I search for it, all I find are people looking for ways to make the WiFi automatically toggle opposite the Ethernet, no one complaining that it's happening on its own.

Why are you turning cellular data off when you get home? If you have wifi at home, it will connect to the phone. Then, once you leave home and get out of range of the wifi, cellular data should connect automatically, you wouldn't need to turn it back on. Turning wifi off is really not necessary unless you are using it as a battery saving feature. I leave my wifi turned on all the time, as well as cellular data, and my battery lasts for quite a long time.

Thunderbolt bridge ethernet connection will not work with ATT router/modem

I am trying to connect to my ATT Uverse router with a Thunderbolt adapter and it will not connect. Any suggestions?

finally works now with 10.8.2 upgrade!!!!!!!

I can use the ethernet connection but not the wireless on my Airport Extreme to connect to the internet.

How do I get the wireless to work again? I've turned both the modem and Airport Extreme off and on again. Do I need to do a hard reset on the Extreme?

Thanks for the reply. I've only powered down all my devices and repowered them. When I made the switch from cable to Uverse, at some point my old USB printer connected to the Extreme spit out about 8 documents that were in its queue, and nothing since. I can see it on the network from my Mac, but my wife's PC can't find it (and that's the real problem, if you know what I mean). I have a new MacBook Pro, and she's running XP SP2 on her PC. Everything worked fine when I was on cable modem service, but since I've changed to ATT Uverse, I'v had this little issue. As you can tell, I'm a novice when it comes to networking.
Thanks again,
Bill J.

USB connecting Handycam not visible for downloading footage

I have recently switched over to Mac and have discovered that iMovie will not open up footage from my DVD Handycam. It is asking me to use Firewire, but the Handycam is USB compatable. I am using the Sony CVD 803E with iMac G5 OS X (10.4.4). Does anyone have info on how to get around this.

Sony does have a FireWire connector, but they call it i.Link. Look for a VMC-IL4615 4.9" i.LINK™ Cable (4-pin to 6-pin)spacerVMC-IL4615

Thanks for these replies! and fast!
I am not connected with a hub or a switch: it is a MODEM/ROUTER TrendNet TEW435BRM which goes well for DSL.
I cannot run dmesg for know... I will look in it later.

$ lspci
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Device 1063 [1969:1063]
On the internet, some said that it is known as an Atheros AR8131 PCI-E Gigabit under Windows... and that the useful linux package is AR81Family-v1.0.0.10.tar.gz for them, but impossible to find on the internet (official site is down, the archive found elsewhere do not uncompress, etc...)
Linux is archlinux x86_64. The kernel driver in use is "atl1c" (on my ASUS eeepc beside, it is atl2 and runs well).
Ok, so:
- 1 read dmesg
- 2 try with another cable (the wire I used is old).
- 3 try with another kernel driver (have to find it)
- 4 send back the computer to be repaired!
Bye

Apple tv ethernet connection not working

Connected my new Apple TV to the ethernet cable and it doesn´t show the network available to connect to internet.
Am I missing some step ?
Thanks

ISSUE
After the latest software update, my Apple TV2 has stopped recognizing any form of network connectivity and appears to believe that it's connected to the network via an ethernet connection, whether or not there is one actually plugged into the back of the device.
BACKGROUND
I echo many of the previous posts... I've had Apple TV2 for over a year with no difficulties. Ethernet and wireless connections have always worked. For the last 6 months the Apple TV2 has been hardwired via my ethernet connection with stellar results. However, after the recent software upgrade, I've lost all network connectivity. Apple TV2 will no longer recognize the same ethernet connection it's always been attached to. This is the same connection that has always allowed me to watch iTune movies, Netflix and download/install all previous software updates. Worse yet, when the ethernet connection is unplugged from the back of the device, Apple TV2 believes it is still connected to the ethernet cord, as if it's stuck, and WiFi functionality does not kick in.
TROUBLESHOOTING
This specific issue has nothing to do with the actual "network" so I am kindly asking people to stop recommending that we check our network/router settings and ethernet cords. Apple TV2 is designed to automatically activate its wireless function when an ethernet connection is not recognized. It's should be pretty obvious to anyone who is tech savvy that there is something wrong with the device and not the network, with respect to the specific aforementioned symptoms.
STEPS
Nothing has changed on the network and I've tested the ethernet connection with both MacBook Pros... with success.
Restarted device multiple times
Attempted to restore device but no network connectivity makes this impossible
Connected device to iMac via micro USB cord and restored from scratch
Made the assumption the wireless antenna could not recognize network due to location, surroundings (i.e. tv stand, Directv receiver, SP3), etc. Moved Apple TV2 to another location and connected to different TV. Wireless functionality still does not activate when ethernet cable not plugged in.
All other common sense troubleshooting steps have been taken per Apple's troubleshooting recommendations and other blog site recommendations
I'm sure the latest software update worked for the majority of all Apple TV2 owners. Anything could have gone arwy during the update that could have caused this specific issue to present itself. Either way, there are enough folks with the same complaint to warrant a deeper dive of the issue. My next step will be to jailbreak the device since I have nothing to lose at this stage... it's a simple paperweight until I find a solution.

Ethernet connection and airport failure

I'm studying abroad in Madrid, Spain, and I'm having difficulty with my internet access. On campus, the IT director put in the airport location and password, and it won't log on. It says "failure to connect." Other Macs in the building are working fine, but mine. I noticed that when I open 'Internet Connect,' the status under Airport says "Computer to Computer." Also, at my residence, my ethernet connection is not working. I plugged in another Mac into my port, and it worked fine. I tried putting in the TCP/IP for Ethernet manually (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router, and DNS servers), without success. I always get a message reading "unable to find host." Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Luz, talk to the IT staff, the base stations that you are using need to "know" your PB's card address, in the airport utility, how many base stations can you see? Also make sure that in the airport setting, you have removed the "allow this computer to create networks" tick, this can cause havoc in some networks and get your machine booted off.

How do I display ethernet connection is being used rather than WI-FI connection in the menu bar/elsewhere?

I have a new 13" retina MacBook Pro - I have wi-fi connection but also a thunderbolt/ethernet adapter that allows me to connect to my network
Sometimes, the ethernet connection does not connect and I do not notice for a while (possibly a dodgy TP-LINK plug adapter thingy)
My question is - how can I display that I am connected/using the ethernet connection rather than the wi-fi? The wi-fi symbol stays in the menu bar but it would be nice to see that I am using the ethernet connection instead
Many thanks
Mike

I don't think you can do that. You can only display the WiFi connection on the menu bar.

Lost ethernet connection

I was in the middle of a web browsing session (using wireless at a Free WiFi hotspot) when I noticed the loss of internet connection. But when I rebooted using ethernet cable hooked up directly to the DSL modem I could not get my McBook to communicate to the modem. I also could not get on the internet as a result!
When I looked at the ethernet connection it said something like "self assigned IP...unable to connect..."
I had never had this problem before and my online search for the answer has not been successful. Does any one have any idea? This has been rather frustrating. I'd appreciate any suggestion.

Yes. I was able to have internet connection using wireless but the ethernet connection was not possible in Mac OS (again, I can't even ping my DSL modem using the built-in ethernet). However, I have no problem with ethernet connection to the modem AND the internet in Windows OS (via Boot Camp). But the problem re-occurred when I used Parallel. In other words, my ethernet connect is shot under Mac OS.
I had Airport turned off when I tried using the ethernet (in Mac OS).
I also tried the power-down-wait-2-minute routine too. But nothing seemed to help.
Is there any file (possibly hidden somewhere) that I could delete the reinstall, instead of re-installing the entire OS (Mac) all over again?
Whatever the problem is I believe Panera Bread caused it. I still wish to know what Panera Bread could have done to my Mac. One thing for sure I would never spend my money there again!

Ethernet connection is not visible.
