Ethernet connection on reinstall

I recently reinstalled Leopard on my Powerbook G4 after erasing the harddrive. I downloaded all the updates and got my wireless connection set up. However, I cannot get the ethernet connection to work. It says it is unplugged. It worked fine before the reinstall and still works fine on my other computer. Any ideas?

Hi,
You can use the following link to setup the printer over a wired n/w.

T500 Ethernet Connection Not working, but wireless is working

Hi
In my laptop, when I try to connect to internet using the Ethernet card, it is not working.

2. Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections : Under this, when I list all the connection, the Ethernet connection is showing it as Enable.
3. When I unplug the network cable, at Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections, I see the status as Cable Unplugged..
4. I downloaded the latest driver and installed, but didnt change this behavior.
How can I fix this ethernet issue. Any help is deeply appreciated.
Thanks,

Any idea why this is coming???
I get that exact same error when I change my MAC address and my computer is trying to connect to my router.
This message is probably just the result of your computer not recognizing your Ethernet Adapter.
I have never had this problem and am just shooting in the dark, but I would say you either have a bad Ethernet card, or your Adapter is not configured correctly.
I keep wanting to go back to your adapter in the Device Manager.
Is the Device Status "This Device is working Properly"?
Under Power Management, is the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" unchecked?
Are you downloading the drivers from Lenovo's website?

Have your tried Uninstalling the adapter, and reboot.
Your system may automatically reinstall the adapter. If not, you can manually reinstall it.

6280 All-in-One printer - changing from USB to Ethernet connection - error - can't find the printer

I am trying to reinstall my C6280 All-in-One printer from the product CD - my original installation was for a USB connection, I would now like to reinstall to an Ethernet connection for use on our wireless nework. I have gone through the HP -Installing the Product Software in Windows XP for a Wired (Ethernet) Network Connection - instructions but keep getting the error message - Can't locate the Printer. I have connected the ethernet cable in the ethernet port of the computer and the router (Airlink 101). Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

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 connections don't work

Ever since a big thunderstorm here the ethernet connection on my Mini has not worked. The wireless works fine. The Ethernet gives the message "No IP Address" in the Network Preferences sidebar, and "Unknown Sate: The status of your network connection cannot be determined" under Status. I've done all the usual fixes: deleted the preference files, reset PRAM, even reinstalled the operating system. I've tried different wires and tried plugging into different ports on the router. Ethernet connections work just fine with a number of other macs plugged into the same router. I was sure it must have been a hardward problem, so I bought the Kensington mini usb hub with ethernet. I installed it, and get the same results with that ethernet adapter.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm on Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
Thanks!

Is this a new AC model?
How old is the Netgear gigabit switch? Unfortunately gigabit has had a bad bunch of capacitors in their switches and after a couple of years they can also play up.
Sometimes the ports on the TC seem to not negotiate properly.
if a port is dead.. definitely take it back.
I would also buy a new gigabit switch.. as your ethernet problems are a little too continuous after 3 different TC.
I know it might work fine with other devices. But some things just are not compatible.
I would use a crossover cable with modem to TC.. and TC to switch. Just because the TC has some question mark over how well it is handling port swapping from normal to crossover automatically. It is old fashioned but has helped a number of people to get the TC working ethernet wise.

Wireless and Ethernet connection for U330 not working - Help

I need help with my wireless and ethernet connection for the U330 notebook. I can not connect to the internet since I received my U330 and if I try to connect to a wireless router, it knocks other users off. I called customer service already and they asked me to download the driver on the Lenovo Downloads and Drivers page. The page can not be found when you try to download the drive so I was not sure if there is another place I can download it since customer service mentioned that they will send me a disk which will take some time. Thanks in advance.

Your router may be knocking you due to lots of facts. Those Ensteins suggested drivers reinstall because that's the only thing they know.
Try changing your encryption mode, try adding your laptop's WiFi MAC-adress of whitelist of Route, try disabling firewall, try increase strength of signal.
Driver is located at consumersupport.lenovo.com - do not hesitate to check.

Never mind, problem solved. When I retunred to the Network tab the message had changed to "connected, no IP address" so I got that from the WiFi tab and configured the Ethernet manually. Have a nice day @:-)#

How do I use my iBook with a hotel's ethernet connection?

When a hotel just has an ethernet connection, I can never come up with the right configuration to access it. Does anyone have the procedure?

Plug in the ethernet.
(Turn on/log in your iBook)
Open browser
Go to a website.
It should now load.
If for some reason the obvious is not working, do this.
Open System preferences.
Click Network
Now at the top pull down the menu and select network status.
There should now be a line that says ethernet.
In that line it should say "connected, your IP address is x." If it does not say that it is connected, what does the error say?

We have an airport extreme wifi in house, but also want to set up a hardwired ethernet connection for gaming and streaming of netflix. The computer only sees one or the other not both at same time.

We have a new iMac 2.9ghz and are running an airport extreme set up in house with several express entenders. The problem is that our son is streaming netflix and doing on line gaming and hogging all the band width. Time Warner tech suggested a hard wired ethernet connection to computer base sattion next to computer so that it can have direct conenction to internet. After much fishing of wire the connection worked great, but the wifi connection for the house is gone. I unplugged the ethernet connection and everything is fine. I read the articles about adjusting network preferences, but the issue seems to be in the extreme not in the computer. the connection goes from cable modem to extreme, from extreme to house and to hard wired conenction to other computer. Do we need a splitter before the extreme?

No. Something else is going on.
Your son may be hogging all the bandwidth but your wireless network should never simply disappear. Moreover, if your son isn't doing anything the available bandwidth for other devices should remain unaffected.
I suspect that something is miswired, and from what you describe I suspect that link is between the Extreme and the "other computer".
The way to accomplish what you propose is
Modem > Ethernet cable to Extreme's WAN port
Extreme's LAN ports > wired Ethernet devices.
There should be nothing but an Ethernet cable linking an Extreme LAN port and any other wired device. If you run out of available LAN ports on the Extreme, you need to by an "Ethernet switch" - they are not expensive, but don't call it a "splitter" or you will only confuse yourself. The switch would be connected to one of the Extreme's LAN ports, and you would connect additional devices to it. You can also use one of your Expresses for that purpose, assuming it is the current generation model with two Ethernet ports.

Multiple ethernet connections on a WDS with AirPort Express?

Going through the AirPort Admin Utility and Airport Setup Assistant, and the various pdf manuals, the only way I can seem to create a WDS is for each device to be a wireless bridge.
Even setting it up initially as a WDS that connects using AirPort (default config from the setup assistant), then changing it to connect via Ethernet completely broke the bridging and caused much mayhem.
I'd prefer to set up the new Express device as a wired bridge, as I have a spare ethernet connection on the same subnet. I presume this would lessen the overhead needed by the WDS in general and would speed up the overall performance slightly.
Does anybody have any clue how to go about this, if it is possible? I bet it's something small and stupid I've overlooked.
Going back about ten pages in this forum didn't seem to cover this subject, so I apologize if I'm bringing up this subject AGAIN. Oh yeah, and all Airport Express devices involved are on firmware v6.3
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Disable the distribution of IP Address on the Express setup.
You don't mention if you are using Airport Express or Extreme for your Main Base. If so then here is the link.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454
If you are using a 3rd party Router as your Main Base then you will need to check out one of these 2 links and remember not all 3rd party routers are capable of WDS setup.

How do I use my ethernet connection for printing on my LAN and use my Wifi on a different router and ISP to connect to the internet?

I'm in a small office, and I have to use my ethernet connection to connect to the networked copier to be able to print, but connection to which I hooked my Time Capsule is literally 20x faster when connecting to the internet.
How can I tell the computer to use the ethernet connection to print, while everything else should go through wifi?
I have been manually going back and forth changing the order in Network Preferences between ethernet and Wifi, but I'm know there must be an easier way. Thanks for your help!

A packet going to Apple is not local. It is going to 17.149.160.49 -- So it is sent to the topmost working connection to be Routed and sent to the Internet.
A packet going to a local computer or other device that is on the same subnet (has an IP address very close to the topmost IP Address of your computer) gets sent out that port as well, but is sent directly to that computer on the local subnet, since no Routing [changing of Addresses} is needed.
A packet going to a local computer or Printer or Network Attached Storage device that is not on the topmost subnet, but is on a secondary subnet such as the second network connection would be sent directly to that computer, since no Routing is needed.
I do not understand why two Routers have the same IP Address if they are not cross-connected. That makes everything very difficult when it should be simple.

How do I reduce the MTU on my Airport Extreme Ethernet connection?

Hi there,
Is it possible to reduce the MTU on the Ethernet connection inside the Airport Extreme Base station. I was having trouble accessing some websites, but was able to fix it on a direct ethernet connection by reducting the MTU setting to below 1500. However, when I connect wirelessly ( I have a DSL modem connected to the WAN port of an Airport Extreme Base station), I still have the same problem, but there seems to be nowhere in the Admin utility where I can reduce the MTU for the connection.
Anyone know a work around for this?
Thanks

How do I extend an existing wireless network with a 2nd time capsule? I want to tether them with a gigabit ethernet connection.

I am having trouble with extending a wireless network using 2 timecapsules (1 is 1 terrbyte hdd, the other has a 2TB HDD.) The first one is connected to the WAN (cable modem) and our LAN. I would like to connect the 2nd one to the ethernet LAN and have it 'rebroadcast' the 1st ones wireless n network in order to expand the overall range of the network. Your help is very much appreciated.

Suggest that you download and install the much more useful AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion.
I assume that Time Capsule 1 is operating correctly at this time.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Select Time Capsule 1 and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons and make a note of each of the setttings on this Wireless page.
Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected to the WAN "O" port on Time Capsule 2.
Open up AirPort Utility and select Time Capsule 2 and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons and enter the exact same settings that you wrote down for Time Capsule 1
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
Make sure that the settings look like this:
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update and allow 25-30 seconds for Time Capsule 2 to restart to a green light
Very important......perform a power cycle of the entire network as follows:
Power off every device in any order that you wish
Wait a minute
Power up the modem and let it run for minute by itself
Power up Time Capsule 1 the same way
Power up Time Capsule 2 the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time the same way until the entire network is back up

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections

Is there a way to turn the wireless capabilities off on an AirPort Express? I have an AirPort Extreme as my main router and use the express to just extend it. I only really want to you use the express for hard ethernet connections. For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb. These terrible download speed really only affects the iPhones as my MacBook Pro usually gets the good speed no matter where it is. I don't believe there is anything wrong with my phone because if I am in the part of the house that uses just the extreme the download speeds on the iphone goes up to 50-75mb. As a note I have an AirPort Extreme on the top floor of my house (second floor) that's where my modem is located. On the first floor that's where one airport express is located. I also have another airport express in the basement that is accessed by my landlord. Any thoughts on how to fix this would be helpful.

It appears that your networking goals with the AirPort Express is to use it as a wireless Ethernet bridge instead of using it to extend the wireless range of your AirPort Extreme. The latter requires that the Express Wi-Fi radios be enabled.
If you intended to use the Express as a wireless bridge, you just need to reconfigure it to "Join a wireless" network instead of "Extend a wireless network."
For whatever reason when I have my express extend my wifi at home the download speed from just the express is absolutely terrible, drops to about 1.5 mb compared to when it's on the extremes part of the network the speed goes up to 50-75mb.
In an extended network, the placement of the extending base station is critical as it can only extend the wireless network at the bandwidth at which it receives it.
Please check out the following AirPort User Tip for details on optimal base station placement.
