Ethernet to USB problems

My ethernet port stopped working properly, so I am trying the ethernet adapter to USB. My computer picks up the internet connection, but I still can't pull up any web pages. There is a message that says "modem is not configured". Can't tell how to configure the modem for this service. Can anyone help me please.

+I tried that one also, but no luck+
You'll have to be more specific - when you entered the router IP number did a page load or not or,
Did the page load but the password you used was rejected ?
A router can always be rebooted by turning off the mains power and waiting 30 seconds before powering it up again ...

Z87-G45 Ethernet and USB problems. And BIOS flash problems

Hi. I kind of have a problem and hope you guys can help me.
I got this motherboard yesterday but I got a major problem with the Ethernet connection. It will simply not work, it’s totally dead. I have tried to enable everything that has to do with the Ethernet (Settings/advanced/intergrated peripherials) but it still will not work. There is no light at the back side that indicates that there is signal when I plug in the cable. I have tried the cable on my laptop so I know there is signal.
There is no problem installing windows, but I can’t install the drivers for the ethernet. I get an error message then that there is no hardware that can use this drivers.
Are there any places in the BIOS where I can enable it? How can I get this up and running?
And my USB driver is kinda messed up too. My 120MB UBS pen is found and can be used, but my 64Gb flash pen and my 500Gb USB HDD will now work with the USB. I only get the USB "ping" connection sound over and over and over and over again with the windows error, drivers not installed.
The other thing about the USB is that every time I restart the PC, I have to unplug the mice and put it into an other USB to activate it.
I have tried to flash the BIOS, but when I try (after pushing m-flash and connecting the USB and finding the file), the whole BIOS just freezes up and nothing happens. I try to wait a bit but nothing happens. I have to manually restart the machine by "force" (Turning the power to PSU off and on again. Ayone know if there is a problem with flashing the BIOS from USB? Or maybe that the USB system is messed up? Any other way I can flash the BIOS?
I have downloaded all the latest drivers and updated.
Best regards
Robert

Again do not try to use MFlash. Try the board outside case like suggested.
THis is making me frusterated now......
I have now had the motherboard on my wood table with a antistatic tablecloth and antistatic armband.
I only plugged in 1 ram, power, a monitor and mouse/keyboard(USB).
I manage to get the USB pen bootable so I could do the memtest and biost flash.
The USB ports are still unstable. I still have to move my mouse and keyboard from slot to slot when I restart the machine. It feels like if random USB conection is being turned off and on for every time I start the computer.
I connected a HDD to install Windows 7 64bit.
The computer will still not read USB storage with larger then my 120mb storage in both the BIOS and Windows (I suspect that 1GB is the limit for some rason). It only shows that USB device was not installed.
After I isntalled the USB 3.0 drivers that came with the mother board, the USB 3.0 system just stoped working. I tryed to update the drivers to the latest ones, but they still dont work. The USB 3.0 drivers do work in BIOS, but the drivers that came with the motherboard does not support windows 7 64bit. Or this motherboard.....
The ethernet conection is still FUBAR. When I try to install the drivers from the CD, the "LAN picture" is still grayed out. And when I try to force install the drivers, nothing will accept the network connectin. Trying to install the Killer Network Manager just ends up in "No supported hardware found in your system". It is like that the ethernet system is turned totally off.... But in the BIOS is marked as enable.
I have tryed to installe Realtek drivers, Intel drivers and the Atheos drivers, but non of them will install, all just say that there is no network that supports this drivers.
I am at my wits end right now. During the last 15 years I have build about 20 computers and this motherboard is taking 1st price for being the worse one ever.

Ethernet to USB is not detected

I have recently bought a Ethernet to USB converter. When I connect it to my laptop it does not get connected ,It is getting detected and it is shown in PC settings>Devices.When I troubleshoot it,It shows that the drivers are not properly installed.
How to install the proper drivers? Hoping for a early reply
prudhvi

Try get the drivers from the vendors webpage. Furthermore, look if the NIC is supported by your Operating System

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!?!

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.

Ethernet to USB adaptor no longer being recognized by my mbp

I have an older macbook pro, which is running mac os x 10.5.8. The ethernet port is broken so I have been using a mac Ethernet to USB cable because there is no wifi at my college. I got the cable to work for a while, then I unplugged it and my computer no longer recognizes it. When I used to unplug it and plug it in I would get a message by the airport symbol that said something along the lines of ( new network usb-ethernet availible, which then would allow me to go into network preferences and give me the option to connect to the usb ethernet). Now when I go to setting with the usb ethernet device plugged in I no longer get the option to use usb-ethernet adaptor, and cannot connect to the internet.
Both the cable and port have been tested and they both work. I also havn't installled any new software recently so I have no idea what I have done wrong.
Thanks for your help

Hi Dibenkorn,
Yes, both USB ports are not recognizing this lacie external hard drive. I also tried the SMC reset but that did not change anything. I have another external hard drive (smaller one) and it works on this computer fine and like I said before the Lacie works fine on my other (older) MacBook. I just can not figure out what went wrong or what happened...

USB problems since EFI firmware update 2.6

My MBA has been suffering USB problems since this update.
I have an IOGear USB 3 GUH374 hub. I connect my iPad mini and USB 3 disk to it.
Since the update, the iPad has stopped charging through the hub. Now, I can't find the power specs of the hub, so I don't know that it should work, but it was working fine. Now, the iPad says "not charging".
The USB disk has spontaneously disconnected a few times, with the system reporting that it was improperly disconnected. One time, the disk was corrupted.
This could be a coincidence, so I've contacted IOGear. But, I'm also having new, different, sleep problems with the MBA and Mountain Lion.

That's what I thought too, then I bought this USB Ethernet adapter and on the package it says :
"Compatible only with MacBook Air Computers"... so I am not sure if I should open it.
When it was originally released it only worked with the MacBook Air which came with a special version of OS X that supported this adapter. Apple seem to have since built this support in to versions of OS X 10.6 and later for all Macs.
If you have an older version of OS X e.g. 10.3 to 10.5 then an unofficially driver is available here http://www.sustworks.com/sb_site/downloads.html
There are also third-party USB to Ethernet adapters with their own drivers like this one http://www.kanexlive.com/usb3lan

MAC PRO USB Problem - Traced to bad Apple Keyboard Extension Cable

I found a fix to a problem synching to my itunes Library on my early 2008 MAC PRO. The Apple supplied USB extension cable for the keyboard was defective.
The symptoms were hangs in itunes and finder synching to iPods and transferring data to USB hard drives. The iPods and hard drives never lost power and no errors/log entries were made. The transfers simply stalled and would not continue. itunes and finder would hang until the drive or ipod was removed. These devices were installed directly to USB ports on the MAC PRO. No other USB devices were connected except for the aluminum keyboard and mighty mouse; the mouse was connected to the keyboard. The keyboard was connected using the USB extension cable that shipped with the MAC PRO.
Hardware diagnostics were all clear. The keyboard and mouse never had any connection problems. Only itunes syncs and hard drive copies would fail; these would occur at random times. I had an open ticket with Apple to have the logic board replaced as it was diagnosed to be a hardware/USB problem.
Removal or replacement of the extension cable on the keyboard (which was connected to a different USB port and NOT in the USB chain with the ipod and hard drives) permanently fixed the problem. I cancelled the Apple HW replacement.
I have noted several posts with others having problems with USB ports and devices. I wonder if Apple has an unknown problem with bad keyboard extension cables.

I think you may be onto something there. I'm just a few weeks into my second Mac Pro and again it's having the same USB problems which led Apple to give me a replacement machine previously. I went through several weeks of considerable testing with Apple Engineers prior to that - an Apple Care application to collect data from my machine, Apple Developer USB prober and two clean installs. The latest machine initially showed no sign of the problem then it started again - 2 iPods "can not be read or written to" part way through sync, Aperture quitting importing from USB SD card reader, USB drives dismounting etc. So I pulled out the Aluminium keyboard and, lo and behold, the iPods managed to get all the way through synching without errors. I really like the alu keyboard so it's a huge shame that it might be the cause of all my problems so far - and the Mac Pro is otherwise a beautiful computer.
But is this really a hardware problem of the internal USB cards and power management or supply?

Ethernet to USB Adapter Issues

When using the ethernet to USB adapter on the Macbook Air I am getting a red 'not connected' followed by an amber 'searching for ip address' (something along those lines). It keeps flicking back and forth between those two statuses. Once in awhile it will sucessfully connect but it will soon kick itself off the network and start filcking between them again. I am a university student and the University IT team are saying there is nothing wrong with the network so it must be an issue with my leptop. One of the IT guys said there could be an issue with the adapter itself but considering its a few weeks old I fail to agree with this.
Anyone have any idead?
Thanks, PS I am connecting through DHCP

Apple recommends to connect the USB Ethernet adapter before starting your Mac.

Can I connect TC with ethernet to USB cable?

Can TC work as HD only by connecting to my Imac with ethernet to USB cable?

Please confirm that you have at least two good ethernet cables, which will be needed for the installation.
I understand that you do not need for the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network, and it will only function as a hard drive, correct?
The step by step that we provide will allow you to backup to the Time Capsule using the current modem/router that you have now and also backup using ethernet if you connect the computer directly to the Time Capsule.
This is what you want, correct?

MS-6390: Return Of The USB Problem!

Almost a year ago I posted a thread regarding a USB problem in which after a few hours runtime, the USB ports stop working. Having reinstalled Windows, I followed the original thread to fix the problem again but this time, it hasn't work. The old thread for reference is; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=49727.0
but I shall try and include everything important here so it shouldn't be needed.
Firstly the nature of the problem;
Any new device plugged into them is not recognisied and Windows advises that it is the device that is malfunctioning.
Restarting the computer will eliminate the problem, however upon rebooting, the computer tends to get stuck at what may be the memory count. If left for 10 minutes, the memory amount comes up and the computer boots normally. This is circumvented by temporarily (one second) removing power to the power supply by pulling the plug or flicking the switch at the back.
[It may or may not be relevant that the HDD activity indicator is lit for approximately 30 seconds of this 10 minute period]
Upon switching the computer on again, the computer boots up normally and the USB ports continue to function for another variable period of time.
This problem occurs if there are no devices plugged into the USB, any single device (printer, gamepad, mobile phone) or any combination.
It should also be noted that if the computer crashes due to any of many unrelated reasons after this problem has arisen, and I use the reset button to make it reboot, the 10 minute reboot problem occurs again but appears differently on screen in that it actually says 'memory check' or words to that effect with a space where the normally RAM amount goes, a '+' and another empty space where the memory reserved for onboard graphics normally goes (i.e. memory check: + )
I've tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling those downloaded from VIAs website for my chipset.
My USB ports are set not to power down to save power in device manager.
The multi-card reader (plugged directly into the motherboard) also stops functioning when the USB ports go down - power light stays on, activity light stops flashing (occasionally power light turns off). Unplugging it from the motherboard does not resolve the issue.
I want to resolve this issue so the computer is trouble-free when I give it my mum to learn from.
Comp. specs in signature. Thanks in advance.

I don't know how to dig deeper... Soon this computer will only be using a single 80 gig HD, and I'll remove the fan controller (it'll be mums computer). I'll then be able to try just using sp1a.
This PSU I'm using is reviewed here with a several others. (the model number is the same, but the one tested doesn't appear to be dual rail - they actually state the number slightly incorrectly, but it's correct in the picture of the label they show.
I think it performed quite well, being one of only two that were able to keep producing (just) over 1 v at 100% load, whilst most others just plumetted. A significant but probably not damaging drop to 4.87v on the 5v rail and again 3.26 on the 3.3v rail all at 100% load (which you're never supposed to due to the PSU anyway). It got a recommended award since apparently it doesn't have many features but I don't think I'm in need of any features it lacks.
Furthermore - at the back it has a control for fan speed. Currently set on Auto, it maintains the same fan speeds (audiability) as on Low - thus I conclude it has headroom to push itself if necessary (in which case the fans would spin faster).
Apart from someone who said they're "cheapo", I havn't yet found any negative comments regarding Jeantech PSUs.

Shuffle USB Problem - Some Observations

I decided to start a new thread with some additional observations I have made regarding the Shuffle and USB problems. Some of this already appeared as a reply to the "ipod usb" thread. Anyway recapping from my previous post:
When plugged into the USB port of my machine, the front LEDs (above the control area) flash the following:
GREEN and ORANGE (YELLOW?) flash together for between 1/4 and 1/2 second. This is followed by the GREEN LED alone for about 1.5 seconds. 3 seconds of nothing, then it repeats. The battery condition LED on the back (below the ON/OFF switch blinks ORANGE for about 1/4 second every 4 seconds.
Plugging the Shuffle into another computer (a laptop), the Shuffle is recognized and the LEDs behave normally.
Now the weird thing is that the Shuffle had worked on the machine where it is now not recognized. In fact the iTunes 7.0.1 diagnostics show the serial number of the Shuffle as the last iPod connected. Also, the USB on the iTunes machine is a USB 1.0 and on the laptop is USB 2.0.
NEW OBSERVATIONS:
My 20GB Click Wheel iPod works fine under 7.0.1. The fact that it works leads me to believe the USB port and power are fine. If it the USB port can drive a hard disk iPod, it better be able to drive a Shuffle!
I loaded up the version of iTunes that came with the Shuffle on another Windows 2000 box I have. The Shuffle was recognized and did a RESTORE on it. Windows even recognized it. The version of Windows IS NOT as currently patched as the computer on which I have iTunes 7.0.1 installed.
I uninstalled iTunes 7.0.1 and installed version 6.0. Aside from 6.o not starting because some file got converted, Win2000 still did not recognize the Shuffle.
So here are my thoughts:
1) A recent Windows 2000 patch causes Shuffles to be ignored by the OS. There is a comment about a problem like this with XP, but I was not able to find anything Win2000 related. The machine I am having problems with is up to dat with regard to patches.
2) If V7.0.01 is the problem, even uninstalling it and reinstalling an old version of iTunes leaves some part of the driver or something that still causes problems.
3) The Phillips Pronto remote software I installed somehow causes a bad interaction with only the Shuffle. Remember, my click wheel iPod still works!
Right now I am leaning towards an issue specific to Windows2000 and the Shuffle. Maybe a conspiracy to get us all to buy Zunes?
If anyone has additional observations or suggestions on how to fix the problem, I (and a bunch of other people) would really like to hear from you.
Thanks!
Don

Okay, I got focused on the fact that other machines
would recognize my Shuffle, but not my main machine.
It dawned on me that the Windows Registry stores
information about USB devices whether or not they
are plugged in, so I snooped around and found the
entries for the iPod.
I did some searches and found a reference to this MS
KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539/en-us
Basically describes how to show the "hidden" (i.e.
removed USB) devices. Went into the USB section and
deleted the 2 entries I had for iPods (my Shuffle and
20GB click wheel).
Plugged my Shuffle in and BINGO! Windows recognized
the Shuffle and iTunes 7.0.1 recognized the Shuffle!
In fact, as I write this post, my poor little
Shuffle is having my jogging play list reinstalled
since it got wacked by the 'restore' on the other
machine.
Bottom line, it looks like I managed to solve my
green and orange LEDs of death problem!
Your mileage may vary!
Good luck!
Don
Yes, great, this is a fix for this problem. Thank you very much.

Macbook Air 2011 USB Problem

Hi, I recently bought a Toshiba portable hard drive that uses usb 3.0. For some reason, my mid-2011 macbook air 13" is unable to connect to the drive with the USB3 to microUSB3 cable. However, the hard drive worked on a late 2010 macbook air 11", other macbooks and pcs using the usb3 cable. The Toshiba portable hard drive did work with my 2011 air with my friend's USB2 to microUSB2 cable so I decided to buy one on Amazon. Unfortunately, the cable that I bought from amazon did not work with my macbook air but it did work with my other pc.
My question is: Does my macbook air have a usb problem and should I go to apple store to get it fixed?
Thanks!

There have been more than a few threads on this subject of the USB 3.0 Toshiba Canvio problems. Here is an ongoing rather current discussion of the issue.
