Ethernet-to-LAN problem (wireless fine)

Since getting my Airport Extreme in September, I've been using it to connect an old PowerBook (running OS 8.6) to my newer one (Tiger) by running an Ethernet cable from the old PB into the Airport base station; then I connect from that old PB through the Chooser, using AppleShare and typing in the Server IP address of the new PB. This successfully connected the two computers wirelessly until just recently, and I'm pretty sure software upgrades have occurred in the meantime. (In my AirPort Utility program, it lists the base station as version 7.2.1, and the PB is running 10.4.11)
Now I get an error message saying "no response from server, please try again" when I enter the server address of the new PB (using the DHCP-assigned IP address displayed in the new PB's System Preferences/Network/Airport/TCP/IP).
I have a plain old wired router that I was using for this purpose before getting Airport, and when I just now tried it in place of AirPort to connect the two computers, using the exact same procedure, it worked correctly. BTW, my DSL modem connection to the AirPort seems fine (although if I leave the modem running overnight, it needs to be restarted every morning, which is annoying).
What has changed, and what can I do about it? Any help appreciated.

I shouldn't have posted this problem. On the advice of a service guy, I turned everything off and let it sit for half an hour and now it works.
Everything has been turned off and on already recently, but perhaps not all at the same time. I'm surprised this worked, but relieved.

Cabled connection issue but wireless fine?

I wonder if there's a known issue and resolution to an issue I'm having with a client computer? The PC has been on a cable connection to the Hub v3 for around one year without any issues but it's suddenly blocking the PC via cable to the router. I've tried resetting the hub and also received a new one in the post which also did the same. I did have an issue with "netware" on the PC and other connections in there so for surety I've re-installed Windows XP on the PC and it works fine on my own LAN via cable ruling out the suspected failing LAN card. It also has Kaspersky Internet security 2012 on and nothing else. A clean registry
I haven't re-installed the BT software as I know it's not needed and for me either the hub has blocked the PC's LAN card mac address somehow or is failing? The only thing I haven't tried is the new hub with the new XP installation which I'll do tomorrow when I return the PC.
I can install a wireless adaptor and it'll work fine as does another PC on the LAN so DHCP is working in the router, just not for cables lol
Any ideas as to how I resolve this are welcome?
TIA
Andy

Thanks for moving and replying Molly I appreciate the time it takes as a forum owner/admin and can see the volume of posts you reply too so barely get time to read them but I'm a professional computer technician and never use (buggy) ISP given CD's for just that reason but if you'd fully read my post you'd have seen that I did say I hadn't installed the software. I've also got lot's of coasters though
The LAN card is an intel pro 10/100 about 6-7 years old (xp media centre) and has always worked like I said then suddenly it has an issue but only with the HH3? My LAN is on VM 100mb (naturally ) and the PC works great here so it has to be a clash between the LAN card and the HH3?
I updated the Sony Viao VGC -RC204 drivers (intel) and picked up on a security issue where the drivers are vulnerable to hacks but installing the driver did nothing to improve it. I haven't even run TCP optimizer in case I corrupt my clean registry & LAN drivers so I know the PC is clean & cannot be blamed for the problem.
I installed an ethernet to USB adapter to try & it worked straight away so that led me to believe the LAN card was failing but using it on my LAN it's fine! Maybe the HH3 has had a f/w update that knocks the intel drivers off or blocks them in the f/wall?
If I put the new HH3 in it should be fine & connect straight away yes? The server login details are preset in the HH3 then it's posted out? Or do I need to login & put them in manually as the new HH3 gives the same error, lol
I could use the ethernet to usb adaptor or w/l adaptor OR even try a new PCI LAN card in to see if it works but I'd rather get to the bottom of the problem as I don't like to be beaten
Anyone else seen this issue or can link to it ?
NOTE: My topic was moved to "the lounge" but on the forum index page there's no description of the forum category which is how I missed it so maybe an admin could put a decsription in there for us? and save a lot of post moves maybe

Connecting Ethernet Macs & printer with wireless network?

I have a small LAN (500MHz Cube, iMAC, Tally T8016 Laser Printer) handled by a Belkin 4-port router, connected to a cable modem.
I would like to incorporate a new Mac mini, a MacBook and an AirportExtreme Base Station but have some problems. Connecting the AEBS to the cable modem via WAN and the router via LAN works half way. All 4 computers connect to the Internet without problems and the 2 Mac's connected to the router can use the printer, but the wireless ones don't recognize it. What am I doing wrong? Is there a better way to incorporate all 6 units (4 MAc's, printer and AEBS)?

Hmm .. it didn't work. When I remove NAT & DHCP I loose immediately all Internet connections on the 2 computers connected to the Belkin router.
I have now tried to
1. Shut down all computers, router, modem and AEBS.
2. Hard reset AEBS - wait 2 hours.
3. Connect Macmini to AEBS via Ethernet cable (LAN) and start up fresh. Internet connection works.
4. Remove Ethernet and establish wireless connection - Internet connection works.
5. Connect LAN output on AEBS to Belkin WAN input - [Belkin is still set to "no" NAT & DHCP].
6. Start Cube (connected to Belkin) and printer (connected to Belkin) - still no Internet connection and printer invisible to Macmini.
I guess I have to try Option #2 now, that is, connect the Belkin router to the cable modem, use 1 port to connect to the AEBS and disable the "distribute" option on the AEBS, and use the router ports to connect the Cube and printer.

WRT150N (New) Gateway IP stops responding to LAN and wireless clients. Hangs, stops, loss of service

WRT150N Firmware Version: v1.51.3 : From LAN and wireless connected devices, Internet connectivity is lost. I try to ping the LAN side gateway IP address from my laptop and desktop, no response. Web management does not work either. Power re-cycle of the WRT150N fixes the problem. The problem is infrequent, it can happen twice per day or once every 2 days.
When the problem occurs,
the DHCP info in my clients looks fine and shows the correct gateway IP address, mask etc. ;
the desktop and laptop can still ping each other;
The gateway is unreacheable and all out going connectivity is lost
Does anybody have any solution or maybe has had the same experience.
I cannot track the problem happening to any particular event or usage pattern however I am using the Azureus bit torrent client all the time.
I have an incident raised with LinkSys Technical Support but no response so far from them.
WRT150N Firmware Version: v1.51.3

Hi - please go to this thread for more details:
http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=103033#M103033
or search for the other thread started by (fb2k). But briefly over the 1 year period since this thread started my local store replaced my wrt150n 3 times and then gave me a wrt160n which was replaced and its still having the problem. I am now running Open Source wireless software (DD-WRT) on the WRT160N and it has been up 18 days with no restart. I didnt want to do this but I got fed up taking my unit back to the store. Thanks to fb2k (on the other thread) for taking the plunge and reporting success with the DD-WRT software.

(Ethernet -- WiFi -- Printer) Problem, routing or bridging fails.

Hello. I have 2 computers and a printer.
computer[192.168.100.2] is running MacOSX and has an ethernet card
computer[192.168.100.3] is running ArchLinux 2.6.31 and has 2 interfaces: eth0 - ethernet and wlan0 is wireless (Marvell 99w9335 Libertas, uses ndiswrapper)
printer[192.168.100.17] is running an unknown OS and links via wifi
adsl router[192.168.100.1] has 4 ethernet ports, it acts here like a switch
I need to print from the computer[192.168.100.2]:
computer[100.2]{en0} <--adsl router--> {eth0}computer[100.3]{wlan0} <--> {wifi}printer[100.17]
I tried two methods:
1)routing
2)bridging
1)
modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc essid "my_adhoc" channel 6
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.100.3 up
route add 192.168.100.17 wlan0
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o wlan0 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/etc/rc.d/iptables save
/etc/rc.d/iptables start
After adding a route to 192.168.100.17 in MacOSX I can ping the printer and access printer's web site.
But I can't print, probably because it uses some specific tcp ports (9100,9101,9102,9110,9220) and may be udp ports, which I can't access.
May be I need something like: iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface eth0 -j ACCEPT
2)
modprobe ndiswrapper
iwconfig wlan0 mode Ad-Hoc essid "my_adhoc" channel 6
ifconfig wlan0 192.168.100.3 up
brctl addbr mybridge
brctl addif mybridge eth0
brctl addif mybridge wlan0
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
ifconfig mybridge 192.168.100.3 up
This variant looks more friendly and simple, but I can't here ping the printer from computer[100.2]. I noticed that when I try to ping from computer[100.2], printer receives the packets, but nothing returns to the sender.

Thank you for replies.
In routed mode:
Setting wlan0 to other ip address(even in the same subnet) and adding "iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT" plus reinstalling the printer in CUPS solved the problem in routed mode.
In bridge mode:
It is impossible to check whether the printer can ping hosts on my ethernet segment, because I don't know how to access it's OS (telnet and ssh don't work). The web site does not provide ping utility, just stats about packets transfers and wireless interface configuration. nmap shows:

What do you mean it did not work! What were the results of the diagnostic tests?
Have you contacted your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end?
Have you changed your router channel? Sometimes this resolves wireless problems.

Printer prints wirelessly fine but it won't copy

Just bought hp photosmart plus Series B210. It prints wirelessly fine but it won't copy. Press black copy or color copy on printer screen "and says Starting Copy..." but gets stuck there and does not copy. Have to pull out plug and plug in to reset printer. Have tried numerous times but unable to print. Help, please!

After several weeks of not finding answers here or elsewhere on the web - and after waiting for an iTunes 7.0.1 and getting it - I "gave up" and went to the Apple Store last night.
The Genius bar took my ipod, plugged it in to a mac, reached under the counter and handed me what they said was a NEW ipod (it was in a generic brown box with no accessories, cables, etc). I did not like that solution for two reasons. First, all of my family photos and videos were on my iPod and I did not like the idea that maybe those photos would turn up on the web someday. Second, it was a gift and had a personalized engraving on the back. When I pressed them on what they thought was wrong with my iPod they said it was not worth the time to figure out and they would just give me another one. Or I could ship in to Apple Support and they would send me a new one WITH the same engraving in a couple of weeks. I took the "new" iPod.
And, sure enough, when I connected it to my powerbook it was detected, the firmware was updated and iTunes synced all my music, photos and videos (and games).
The Genius bar people seems pretty sure that the problem was hardware (the port where you connected the USB cable at the bottom of the device). When I pointed out that it had been working fine right up until the day I upgraded to iTunes 7.0 and that it had not worked since they did not seem terribly interested.
So, my problem is "solved" in that I have a working iPod sans engraving.

K7N2 Delta2 Platinium: Gigabyte Lan problem

I finally got new mainboard and got it working like 1½ hours ago. I started to see that the lan, witch Gigabit MCP Chipset's: 10/100/1000 lan killed my internet connection less than an hour. Messenger went offline, mailservers and other servers totally unreachble. Some activity did happened according my firewall ( Sygate Personal Firewall ) but I couldn't connect anywhere. So I rebooted and it all worked fine, until less than hour went by and it did it again, so, I changed my old ethernet adapter that is working fine now...
But what the heck? How come my Lan just wouldn't work? Is it system? Known bug? Anything would be appreciated...

Does he have the same memory config.? Try uising only one, or two if they are bought in a pair. I think it is the slots 1 and 3 you use for the dual channel.
What slot do you use for the ethernet and sound cards? Slot 5/6 and slot 3 resp. would be the best, I think. Have a go without the sound card altogether, if you want to.
I like your system, esp. the outside of it. That is a very good case for the money! You know you can let the mobo adjust fan speed according to temps.? Dampening is almost unnecessary if you use that control. I use a Spire processor fan adapted to an Adda 120 mm fan. Have no intake fan. - I can hear the birds walking around in the garden outside. And, what's more, I hear the worms they are looking for.

Will Ethernet fix my problem?

There is a saga to this, but I will cut a long story short and just say, up till last week I was using a USB BT Voyager modem to connect to the internet with my G4 iMac!!! I have now treated myself to a Macbook pro so want to go wireless. I've moved to Toucan as my ISP and they have sent me a USB Speedtouch modem!! Their 30p/min "technical support" tell me that no USB modem will work with OS X 10.4.5 (yeah! Right!) but that I need to get an ethernet modem!! I have already bought a Belkin wireless router (it was a bargain & also has printer server!), and was planning to get a cheap ethernet modem to connect to it, but the only cheapy I can find is a BT Voyager 205 modem!!! Will the fact that this is ethernet fix my problems or am I still risking walking into BT v Mac ****??!?!
Advice please!?!
Mac Book Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Are you saying that I CAN'T use the router I have at
all? Or that it's just not ideal?
No you can use the router I even gave you a link of a modem that is compatible with your router. I was pointing out that you could have had a simpler solution with 1 box.
From what I have
read on the other forums I figured that this would be
OK if I got an ethernet modem ( I need to get a new
one anyway as the Toucan one doesn't support OS X
10.4.5) my concern was my plan to use a BT modem as
everyone seems to have a nightmare with them??
It is ok to have an ethernet modem to go with your router. There are advantages to this kind of setup that an ADSL router does not have.
If for example you switched sometime in the future to Cable then you could just swap the ethernet adsl modem and plug your cable modem into your router. This would have no impact on your network as nothing would change. Your mac's network settings would remain the same.
Thanks

Lan Problem

I'm having a lan problem, which I already made a post on this forum
SEE THIS LINK
Well, it's back! I get disconnected from the Internet without any reason (my sister has no problem). When I go to Network Connections in Control Panel to disable enable the lan, the lan doesn't enable. When I try to roll-back driver, update driver, or uninstall in Device Manager, Device Manager only freezes.
Does anyone have any suggestion aside from RMAing the board because I live in Hawaii and shipping to RMA it would cost about $40 bucks!
I tried installing a pci lan before, but it was an old one so it was very slow, but no issues.
EDIT: I also tried double-clicking on the lan icon on my taskbar but the window that is supposed to appear only appears in a fraction of a second and then disappears.

last week i did a fresh reload of my OS for cleaning purposes, and i had same prob.. internet worked off and on, then froze.. other things froze it too like device manager.. this didnt happen with my last copy of windows, so i was sitting there like .. anyways... installed all driver updates, SP1 and all, nothing happened... i got fed up with it and just said screw it , and i reloaded again... now everything works fine... my friend and i were thinking it might have just been a corrupt install, or a corrupt install of some of my drivers/updates from windows... b4 you RMA board, try a fresh copy of XP (with just new drivers and SP1) and see if you have the same problem

K7D Master-L with LAN problems

I've just completed construction of my new K7D Master-L based machine and am running into LAN problems. The first K7D Master-L I received had a bad IDE controller on it, and now the replacement board has intermittent LAN issues.
WinXP Pro installed fine, and I was able to install the LAN driver from the MSI CD and get things up and running fine. After about 20 minutes or so, the LAN connection drops out and then comes back a few minutes later. This cycle repeats over and over. There are no duplicate IP addresses on the network, there are no errors in the XP system log, and all of the other systems on the network continue to work fine during these down periods.
I checked on the MSI website, and there are no drivers available for the Intel 82551QM lan controller that is on the K7D Master-L board. Does anyone know where I can get an updated driver to try? These types of problems are most frustrating to debug.
Thanks,
Norm

Just an update to this:
The problem is definately the onboard LAN controller. I've tried a Netgear card as well as a real PCI based Intel Pro 100 card and both are working great. When I take the PCI cards out and try to use the onboard LAN, I still get intermittent outages.
Very strange. If any MSI engineers are listening, I'd love to hear your opinions. According to the OS, there are no IRQ, memory, or other conflicts that might be to blame.

Where are you and where did you get the phone? All iPhones come with a 1 year warranty from the original date of sale.
Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and take it in for them to have a look at.

I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow. I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same. Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse. Any solutions?

I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
Amazing!
In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.
