Ethernet setup at library?

Hi! This is my first posting over here!
How do I connect to the internet at the library using an ethernet cable?
It's a blueberry iBook with Mac OS 9.2.2
I have an ethernet cable
I don;t know what the IP/subnet etc... is
They do have ethernet plugs at the walls
There is no modem involved in this by the way.
I tried Internet setup assistant, just quits near the end
What should I do?
I know in Mac OS X the internet control panel allows you in an easier way, but I cant have that with 3GB
Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

Open the TCP/IP control panel and choose Ethernet from the menu at the top. When done, choose Using DHCP Server as the configuration; you should not need to do anything else to connect the computer to the Internet.

Base station ethernet setup?

Hello: I just bought a used v.6 Airport Express base station. B & W basic Mac, OS X.3.9. There are no internal or external wireless cards in the Mac. The Mac connects normally to home networkI want to connect the Airport Express Base station, directly to my audio receiver (RCA jacks & apple/monster kit). I reset the base station. The plan is to have internet radio transmitted to the base station from a wireless router connected to the Mac. Do I need to configure anything on the Airport Express Base station? Problems:
If I directly connect the Airport Express Base Station to the Mac, (to configure the base station), I get
-flashing yellow light on base station
-The Airport Express Setup utility appears to begin the setup, but stops, error message: "an error occured, communication with base station."
-the base station does seems to have a MAC address and internal i.d. which does appear to be read, before the setup fails.
Thank you.

What you want to do will work. The basic steps are as
follows:
- temporarily cable the ethernet port of the Airport
Express to a spare LAN port on your cabled network
- run the Airport Admin Utility on the Mac. Select
your Airport Express, click Configure. Under the
Airport tab, select the mode to "join an existing
wireless network". Specify the name (SSID) of that
wireless network, and select the same wireless
security protocol and password used by your existing
wireless network. Enable the speaker setting found
under the Music tab. Update settings to the Airport
Express
- you may then unplug the Airport Express from your
network and relocate the Airport Express next to your
sound system. You will know the Airport Express is
successfully configured, and connected to your
existing wireless network, if it shows a solid green
status light.
You cannot make use of the Airport Setup Assistant -
it only works with an Airport card equipped Mac.
Your question (how to configure an Airport Express as
a wireless client to a non-Apple wireless router) is
frequently asked here. A lot more advice and tips for
this project can therefore be found by reviewing past
discussion topics.
Thanks for reply, Henry. I'm finally able to work on this. What keywords for a search on similar setup do you suggest? "base station ethernet setup" is too broad, too many results not in line with what I want. I'll try "base station itunes stereo" too. Thanks.

MBA and ethernet setup assistant

I just purchased a 2013 MBA, and want to transfer my files over from my existing 2009 MBP. I have a Category 5 ethernet cable and a USB-Ethernet adapter to do this. I have the two computers connected with the ethernet cable, but they cannot seem to find each other using Migration Assistant on the 2009 MBP and the Setup Assistant on the MBA (I have my WiFi turned off on the MBP because otherwise it seems to want to use WiFi to transfer the data, which takes 40+ hours). How can I get the computers to "see" each other via the ethernet connection? I have tried googling this but haven't been able to find a single straight answer that pertains to my particular situation. Thank you for any help.

You have two choices:
If you want to use migration assistant over network, first put both computers on the same network or get a small switch and connect them both to the same switch. Then launch Migration assistant on the MBA, choose from another Mac, and Use Network. Next open Migration assistant on the MBP (source), choose To another Mac, and follow the onscreen instruction. It will ask to set a passcode and continue with the transfer.
If you want to use firewire: Connect both machines with Firewire and restart souce MBP holding T. Then launch Migration assistant on the MBA and transfer.

Time capsule ethernet setup

I have a time capsule that I am trying to use as a time machine with an ethernet connection to my iMac 27 late 2012. The time machine setup doesn't seem to recognize the time capsule. What am I doing wrong?

the router mode is greyed out.
It is in bridge so that doesn't matter.
I can't turn off the wreless on my mac, as it provides access to the internet
No, if you turn off wireless then you access internet and both TC by ethernet.. there is no need for wireless.
If you want to use your old TC in complete network isolation you can do that.
You need to reset it to router mode.. and it will have no other connection than to the imac.. you are creating a secondary network.
The info is in the post here.. near the bottom with all the screen shots for the setup.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
I would load 5.6 utilty onto your computer as it does manual setup better with the old TC.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.

I have a netgear n300 router broadcasting my wpa secured wireless network and bought an airport express to extend the network. I did an Ethernet setup from a MacBook, got the green checkmark but no extension. help.

I have a net gear n300 router transmitting my WPA secured network, and I bought an airport express to use as a network extender. I configured it via an Ethernet cable from a MacBook using manual setup in airport utility. I got the green checkmark at the end, but it is not extending my signal. Can you help me?

Unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your Netgear router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
The few non-AirPort routers that are known to work are:
Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
BT Voyager 2091
Netgear WGR614 v6
Buffalo WGR-G54

Comcast Metro Ethernet Setup

We have one customer with one ASA and one 3750 switch in headquater. 6 1801 Routers in 6 branches.
All connected via MPLS/BGP provided by ATT. And it was terminated at one port on 3750.
We plan to replace that with Metro Ethernet Hub/Spoke topology since the customer mentioned each office never talks to each other. Later on we found they have IP phones do need to talk with each other at branches.
Question - can we still use the MetroE service but configure routing to make each office talk with each other and how that would work?? I would assume some routings on 3750.
Any info is appreciated. thanks!
Ben

Hi Ben,
It will work for sure since this is what ( in a much more complex scenario) we are implementing in our company since ab few months. Just take care of defining data and voice subnets as technically unrelated so to be free implementing very flexible and easy to manage routing policies. Is ATT providing L3VPN or what?
Hope to help

Ethernet Setup Help

Hi,
I just received a new SubBlade 100 and am having trouble setting up the network. How do I reconfigure the DNS server and assigned IP address? How do I get back to the original network setup wizard?
Thanks,
David

How do I reconfigure
the DNS server and assigned IP address? For DNS: Copy /etc/nsswitch.dns to /etc/nsswitch.conf and
setup /etc/resolv.conf
See also: man nsswitch.conf , man resolv.conf
A fixed IP address for the system can be changed in
/etc/inet/hosts
How do I get
back to the original network setup wizard?Run sys-unconfig
The system resets it's configuration, reboots and on the
next boot interactively queries things like time zone,
ip-address, netmasks, name service to use, root password,

Ethernet frame size / MTU

I'm setting up NAS at my house, using two different systems. I'm using a Buffalo NAS (4TB) and a Drobo FS with 17 TB.
I'm finding that the transfer speed is surprising slow through ethernet. Keep in mind I'm not a technical person. My surprise is that I thought ethernet setup would increase the speed to something manageable time-wise.
For example, I want to transfer around video files from one computer to another, I'm surprised it takes so long.
I've run a variety of tests, done some reading on these forums and around the net, and have found that it appears a typical home network via ethernet is about 15-20 MB/sec, more or less. Hope I wrote that mb/sec correctly.
Anyways, I've been surprised a bit that ethernet isn't faster than this. When I did a direct connect of my Drobo FS via ethernet to my macbookpro, I'm transferring over my Aperture library. About 400 gigs. This is taking around 30 hours.
Is this a real world scenario and I need to just get over it? I guess I thought that ethernet would be faster. Keep in mind, I'm not a technical person, so I don't really know what I'm talking about or expected. I suppose when I went to wire my house for the fastest possible connections, I was thinking it wouldn't take nearly 2 full days to transfer my Aperture library for backup, etc.
I have been playing around with MTU a bit. Set at 9,000 for the Drobo. I notice that I can only set the MTU to 1500 in my macbookpro. Wouldn't that speed up things with a direct ethernet cable connection between the Drobo FS and the macbook pro if the laptop were to be able to move the data in larger chunks (jumboframe 9000)?
Not sure if I'm wording all this correctly. I was hoping to increase the MTU to 9,000 on the MBP, but seem to be limited to 1500. Any thoughts on that?
Is there any way to increase speed beyond ethernet or is that going to be a real world cap for the average home user?
Thanks

Thanks for the information.
I guess the thing I'm looking at now, the big question for me, is what is the fastest possible method to transfer data off of a computer to some other source? Is Ethernet basically as good as it gets?
For almost all of what I do, the ethernet speed is alright.
The one thing that seems to stump me is the transfer of my aperture library. It just doesn't play nice. That one file seems to either
#1 - hang and not transfer at all, which is most common. Not sure why, it never gets beyond the "preparing to copy" stage
#2 - once it transfers, it seems that file doesn't want to transfer fast.
I'm not sure why, but it is so slow or impossible for me to get a decent copy of my aperture library.
I want to be able to keep a backup on my drobo, frequent backup that is updated weekly or maybe even twice weekly. But it is taking up to 2 days to transfer the data on that one file, when it decides to transfer.
I have been able to use an external drive with firewire 800 and make a transfer of the file in about 4 to 5 hours. I suppose that isn't too bad overall. I'm still surprised, though, that the ethernet/drobo setup isn't at least as fast as firewire 800, but it doesn't even come close. Not even when I direct connect the drobo to the laptop. Not sure why that is.
Any insight, ideas, etc are appreciated. Basically, can anyone give ideas on managing transfers of files in the 500 gb range, what might work. I'm open to about anything at this point, other ideas, different kinds of media, etc.

Creating a static library with XCode cross-project references.

I have a project and am trying to move a lot of the code into a static shared library, and added a cross project reference to this library in my app.
However, when I moved a file from my app to the library (removing the reference in my app and moving the file to the library's project directory), and try building my app, I get compiler error messages as if the file I have moved doesn't exist.
When I build my library project, it says the build has succeeded, but the library.a file remains red. It is also red in the my referencing app project.
If anybody has any experience setting up cross-project references in XCode, I'd appreciate any help.
If it helps identify where the problem is, I've performed the following steps to setup the library and cross-project reference:
1. I created a new Cocoa Touch static library project in XCode which would house the shared code.
2. I changed the global settings in XCode to place the build products in a shared build directory (rather that the project directory), and made sure the intermediate build files are placed with the build products.
I changed this using the Preferences menu, but have also gone into the project info for both my app project and the library project and made made sure it is set to place the build projects in the custom shared build directory.
3. I then added a Source Tree, and made sure that the Path of the project directory of the library project.
4. I added a project reference to the library project's .xcodeproj file in my application project. I changed the library project reference so that it was relative to JIGSAW24LIBRARY.
5. I configured the library dependencies by going to my app's target's info, and adding a direct dependency to the library project.
6. In my app's info build tab, I changed the user header search paths so that it uses the search tree I setup (I used the $(SEARCHTREE_NAME) notation, but checked that this resolves to a valid path). I also made sure that the Always Search User Paths checkbox is checked, and that the Library Search Paths is blank.
7. I click-dragged the library.a file under the library project so that it was under the Link Binary With Library sub folder of my app's target.
For step 5, I've also tried adding the reference to the other project as a linked library, rather than a direct dependency, but this doesn't seem to work either.

I managed to fix the problem. The steps above seem to be correct. The problem seems to be related to the source trees that are defined...
I was previously using an absolute path for the source tree which pointed at the folder containing the library project. I changed this to a relative path to the same folder (relative from the calling project) and this seems to fix it.
I'd double checked that the absolute path specified was correct, so it looks like the user header search paths specified must be relative to the current project.

How would I set up a child safe library on my computer as well as my library

I guess this will be fairly typical these days, but I can't seem to work it out.
In the main room I have the latest Apple TV using my library from my iMac. This library contains everything for the whole family including thrillers, horror movies, etc. I have purchased another Apple TV for my child and I want to setup a library for her that is child safe and only contains media that she uses i.e. her music, TV shows, Movies, etc.
We have one iMac and one iTunes account. I tried creating a new user on the iMac for her and putting her media in to iTunes, but the Apple TVs pick up the library for the logged in user and so she still gets my library until I log in as her then we both get her library.
I don't want to create an iTunes account for her as she's too young to have one. Any ideas?

hi gray001,
to have separated Libraries from iTunes for your wife and you, i would recommend that you create a new second windows user account
thats the easiest way to avoid mix up of itunes content
if you create a second windows user account - itunes is already installed and only needs to be configured for your wife

Restored my Macbook Pro but my iTunes content was saved on a separate partition. When I re-setup iTunes the status bar reports 30gb less content than my iTunes Music folder. How can I find what is 'missing'?

My Macbook Pro software was failing and the Apple Store was able to restore it without removing the partition on my hard drive that contained most of my files including all my iTunes content. Initially when I re-setup my library I simply went to file--> add to library. Shortly after I realized that was essentially copying the library to the other portion of the partition because I forgot to change the location of the library. So I deleted the content already copied & then I re-setup the library, by asking it to be pulled from the previous location using this pages advice: iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
It appeared to work & everything I thought was imported. But on closer inspection, it appears that I have 30gbs less appearing on the status bar in the iTunes app than I do when I pull up the info on the iTunes Music folder in my finder. I'm not sure if this means somehow I have 30gbs of duplicates in my finder folder or if (most likely) I somehow didn't fully import the library from that file. Any advice? Is there a way to restore iTunes to factory settings again & set it up correctly this time?
Also I never actually trashed the original content I accidentally transferred to the other drive but when i skimmed those in my trash bin it appears they ARE indeed in iTunes, so I have no clue what didn't actually import. Any ideas?! I'd greatly appreciate it!

You could have all the computers point to the same library but it can't be opened by more than one at any time.
No answer for knowing which library is in use other than selecting it at startup. This question gets asked here occasionally but I don't think it is a high-demand feature since most people have just one library. I guess you could put in an empty playlist with the library name so you have an identifier.

Using Time Capsule as an external hard drive with ethernet cable, disabling airport, using wifi from laptop

Okay, first of all, I admit right off the bat that I should have bought an external hard drive. Now I am stuck with a 3TB Time Capsule that I want to tie to my laptop via ethernet cable, without having the Time Capsule disable my laptop's current wifi. So, I want to be able to back up my laptop (using the ethernet cable and Time Machine) to my Time Capsule drive and still be able to be surfing the internet as if I didn't have Time Capsule at all.
My MacBook Pro is OS 10.7.5.
Any thoughts are much appreciated.

This is not difficult.
You need to work out one issue beforehand..
What IP address range does the computer get from the wifi router.. ?
If you get 10.0.x.x then you will need to adjust the settings on the TC to a different IP range.. eg 192.168.1.1 for the TC.
Tell me what IP you get on wireless. I will assume for now you are getting 192.168.x.x
In the ethernet setup on the laptop, choose configure IPv4 Manually.
Give the computer an IP address say 10.0.1.10 with 255.255.255.0 subnet. Do not fill in router or dns values.
You can now find the ethernet linked TC and get internet via the airport.
On the TC itself, just leave it in router mode.. and ignore all the errors.. turn off the wireless.

What do I do when I'm trying to access another library on my home network and it tries to access it but then just stops.

I'm trying to setup the library sharing on my home computers and one computer will start to access the other library and then just abruptly disconnects the library before it finishes downloading. Any suggestions?

Go into your system preferences and click the startup disk icon then select your Mac HD.

I cant access my custom library. "error:Package X does not exist".

First of all, there is nothing wrong with my sourcecode. I've checked it and it runs fine when my client class and the rest of the classes is thrown into the same directory together.
Thing is, I have a lot of reusable code,which works, and I have to my best ability followed guidelines on the net how to put them into a liberary and use the import statement in the client to make use of that liberary. My client class still cant find the library, and yes it has the proper import statement. It just tells me that the package does not exist. I've tried to compress the library to a jarfile:
jar cf mittBibliotek.jar *
, and I've tried treating it as it is(a directory with java files, each one containing the proper package statement).
First I tried to setup my library using the Netbeans IDE 5.0.
(Right click the libraries node in the project iew->properties>-Libraries->Add Jar/Folder) Source code still cant find any of the classes contained in the jar file.
The netbeans interface can be a bit involved, so I switched to BlueJ just to see if my client class was able to find anything (Tools->preferences->Libraries->add).
I've tried multiple variations trying to explain to the the source code where the liberary is located. Should the files in the library be compiled before it can be used as a jar? Have I set up my classpath correctly? I'm using windows XP, and I've placed the classpath by going to system properties-advanced tab->envirornment variables and typing it under the system variables.Is
this wrong? Should it be someplace else? Haven't BlueJ or netbeans their own setup for classpaths? And why the need to type anything else in the classpath, when the dot in CLASSPATH=.;c:\Java;c:\suff;c:\andSoOn; actually means everything? Would it not be the same to just
write CLASSPATH=.;?
I seem to be getting off topic here, sorry about that. All I want is to be able to use my class library with my source code.
PS: I've used the terms "source code" and "client class" arbitrarely. They are both the same.

Have I set up my classpath
correctly? I'm using windows XP, and I've placed the
classpath by going to system properties-advanced
tab->envirornment variables and typing it under the
system variables.Is
this wrong? That can work, but changing the CLASSPATH environment variable every time you want to run a program isn't recommended. Instead, you should you use the -classpath option of the javac command to compile your programs. Here is the syntax
C:> javac -classpath C:\folder1;C:\folder2\subfolder1 MyClass.java
Tip: construct your command in a text editor, so if it doesn't work, you can modify it and then copy and paste it into your DOS window. That will save you from having to retype the whole command in the DOS window.
And
why the need to type anything else in the classpath,
when the dot in
CLASSPATH=.;c:\Java;c:\suff;c:\andSoOn; actually
means everything? Would it not be the same to just
write CLASSPATH=.;? No. The dot means to look in the current directory. Suppose you have a DOS window open and you change directories to an existing directory on your computer called C:\folder1\subfolder1:
something here>cd C:\folder1\subfolder1
C:\folder1\subfolder1>Now, let's say you want to compile the MyClass.java file and it's in subfolder1. Also, suppose MyClass.java imports a class in folder1. If you use this command to compile:
C:\folder1\subfolder1>
javac -classpath . MyClass.java
the current directory is C:\folder1\subfolder1 (note: I put the javac command on a different line for clarity). The -classpath is the dot, which instructs javac to look in the current directory for the classes referred to in the program MyClass.java. Since by assumption the class referred to by MyClass.java is not in subfolder1, the program won't compile. Also, the current directory does not include files in subdirectories of the current directory.
Unfortunately, one of the biggest barriers to learning java is learning how to compile and execute programs. I still have trouble, and I constantly revise the rules I follow to take into account some new thing I stumbled on. Here are the current rules I follow:
=================================
EXAMPLE DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:
D:\javaStuff\aFolder\TryPackage.java
TryPackage.java is in the aFolder package and references the Line and Point classes. Line.java and Point.java are in the Geometry package, and they reside in the Geometry folder like this:
C:\moreJava\Packages\Geometry\Line.java
====================================
COMPILING: Use cd to change the DOS prompt to the current directory of the FILE you are trying to compile. In the -classpath option, include the classpaths to packages of all CLASSES referenced in your program whether they are in an import statement or not. If the file you want to compile is in the current directory, the compiler can find your FILE--it uses "." for the default location. To compile TryPackage.java above use this command:
D:\javaStuff\aFolder>
javac -classpath C:\moreJava\Packages filename
where filename = TryPackage.java. If your FILE is not in the current directory, then you need to use the full path name of the FILE like this: filename = d:\javaStuff\aFolder\TryPackage.java
RUNNING: In -classpath, include all paths to all packages of the classes USED in the program, which includes the path to the package of the .class file you are trying to run. If the .class file you are trying to run is not in a named package, then it is part of the default package, and the -classpath for that package must be included. For the default package, the -classpath equals the path to the directory that contains the file. If TryPackage.java did not have a package statement, the -classpath to the default package would be D:\javaStuff\aFolder. In addition, you need tack on the package name to the beginning of the .class file you compiled. Here is how you would run the TryPackage program:
D:\javaStuff\aFolder>
java -classpath C:\moreJava\Packages;D:\javaStuff filename
where filename = aFolder.TryPackage. It does not matter if the .class file you are trying to run is in the current directory or not. The preceding command will work from any directory.
ADDITIONAL RULES: You don't necessarily have to specify the full path name to the file when you are at a prompt other than the directory which contains the file. Instead, you can just complete the path to the file from the current directory, i.e. the prompt. For instance, if this is the directory structure:
C:
----javaPrograms
-----------Pack1
-----------------DemoA.java
and you are at the prompt:
C:\javaPrograms>
You can compile DemoA.java with this command:
javac Pack1\DemoA.java
Note that if you add the prompt directory to the path specified for the file, you get:
C:\javaPrograms + Pack1\DemoA.java = C:\javaPrograms\Pack1\DemoA.java
which results in the full path name to the file. So, javac can use the prompt directory as the starting point for path to the file you are compiling.
The same thing works for the java command when you execute your program. Assume you are at the C:\ prompt:
C:\>
You can compile the program using:
javac javaPrograms\Pack1\DemoA.java
(Note: I've only completed the path to the file from the current directory). I can execute the program using:
java -classpath javaPrograms Pack1.DemoA
The java command completes the path to package. The prompt directory added to the -classpath is:
C:\ + javaPrograms = C:\javaPrograms
which is the full path to the parent directory of the package.
