GE Internet Settings - ethernet and Linxsys router

I can not get my G5 to work with my linxsys router via a built in ethernet and ethernet cord.
Are there any specials settings I should be using? IP Address? Subnet? Router?
Please help as it is making me crazy!

I can not get my G5 to work with my linxsys router via a built in ethernet and ethernet cord.
Hard to tell from that short description. It is best to describe what you have tried, what worked, what failed, and any error messages.
If the router has it's DHCP server enabled, you should configure your Mac's Network preference pane to use Ethernet and DHCP to get an IP address.

  • Time Capsule connected to internet via ethernet and static IP address

    Hi! I'm at my wits end and getting no help from my IT department. I want to use my Time Capsule to create a wireless network within my office. I can directly connect my TC to the internet via ethernet and an assigned static IP address. However, doing so I'm unable to connect to the internet using the created wireless network on my laptop. I've tried using the bridge option for sharing as well as the "sharing an IP address" and neither configuration is working. any thoughts?

    I have the same setup; my ISP uses static IP only. No probs configuring a LinkSys router but with TC it's not obvious where to plug in the info. Can't ping the TC router via IP address to setup directly like the LinkSys which would be simple. Is the out of box router address really 10.0.1.1 on the LAN side? I want to use the 192.168 sequence and have changed it but still no success as I can't determine where to put the static IP! Can you give me something specific? By the way, it works fine thru the LinkSys router in Bridge mode.
    Thanks,

  • Connecting a powerbook G3 to the internet via ethernet and a DSL modem. Does the G3 have the ability to do this?

    I am trying to connect an older powerbook G3 (M4753) to the internet via ethernet and a DSL modem. Does the G3 have the ability to do this? I'm having alot of trouble. G3 Dialog box states the DHCP server will populate IP address, etc. It does not. The G3 also insists I enter the DHCP client ID.

  • Problems accesing internet using wireless and WRT54GV2 router

    I have mi Dell computer using a WUSB54GP adapter is wireless conected to my WRT54GV2  router, but some times a can not access internet anyway i can connect to 192.168.1.1, so i restore factory defaults, and shutdown the cable modem and the router, this fix the problems, but before some days, i have the same problem, so i have to restore the factory defaults again.
    Note: if i wired my pc to the router i can browse internet, so i think the problem is only with the Wireless configuration.
    Any Idea.
    Thanks

    Hi, I have had the same problem with my router since last week when I upgraded to the latest firmware, see my posts on this thread

  • Internet Connection Sharing and NFS route problem?

    My new box is yet to gets its wireless card so following the wiki I have painlessly set up ICS - this works great.  The ICS host connects to my wireless router on wlan0 and to the ICS client on eth0.  The ICS client attaches on eth0.
    From the ICS client I can ping eth0 and wlan0 on the host and also the router but I can't access the NFS shares on the host - should I be able to access them on both wlan0 and eth0 - even if I bring down wlan0?  I'm guessing I need another iptables rule...

    I'm not quite sure I understand whats happening here....  So here is a "diagram":
    ICS cli --- eth0 ---> ICS host --- wlan0 ---> router ---> internet
    Yeah?  From this, there is no reason for wlan0 to affect NFS from cli to host, assuming everything has been set up properly with the routing tables.
    If you disable all iptables stuff (which is how I'm assuming you have the routing working), does NFS work?  Have you set up your /etc/exports properly?
    Can I see your iptables stuff as well?
    And on a side note: I recently chucked NFS in favour of sshfs, it's much better for me personally.  Considered that?

  • Internet over ethernet AND airtunes over wifi?

    okay, so I have my airport express plugged into the sterio, but it's not permitted to be connected to the office network. So, I plug my macbook pro into the ethernet in the wall, and connect to airtunes over the airport. It plays fine for a few minutes then loses the remote speakers.
    Is there any way to configure it to know that the only thing it does over airport is airtunes?

    for anyone who might be interested, it just started working on its own.

  • Can't connect to Internet via ethernet

    I have two brand new 11" MacBook Airs.  I can connect to the internet via ethernet on one and not the other.  I little back story...
    I previously had two 13" MacBook Pros and had the same issue – one could connect to the internet via ethernet and one couldn't.  I used migration assistant when I upgraded to the new MBAs, so I believe I carried over a setting from the previous "problem" comuter to the new one.  Interestingly, both of my MacBook Pros connected to the internet via ethernet just fine until, for reasons unknown to me, one day one would no longer work.
    When I look at diagnostics, the lights are (from top to bottom): green, yellow, green, red, red
    Is it possible to revert some ethernet networking setting to factory?
    Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

    The same thing has happened to me, it just stopped working. No, I've had this problem for a long time with this machine, but the other day I was downloading some large files, and all the files dropped down to nothing, internet was gone.
    It will connect to Wireless, but now I'm even having problems with that.
    If I plug in the Ethernet cable but set it to use AirPort, it won't find the web. I have to unplug the cable and it will use AirPort -- not good when I need to access hard drives! It had been working with it plugged in, but it just stopped. (I don't know if it was using the Ethernet or the AirPort at the time.) I wasn't messing with any settings at the time.
    Tried restarting, running diagnostics, using different browsers, various websites, didn't help.
    It's a MacBook 2,1 -- 2.0 GHz, Intel Core 2 Duo -- 10.4.11
    I have a G4, same OS, using the same router, same settings, everything. G4 works perfectly.

  • Macbook Pro 10.7.5 internet will not work. HELP!!! Ethernet and WIFI both say connected but still no internet.

    I have a macbok pro running 10.7.5. My internet has always worked on it but I decided to try changing my router set up - the set up didn't work so I reverted back to the original setup that had previously worked.
    Now, I have an Imac running tiger - I can connect to the internet via WIFI or Built In Ethernet with no problem.
    When I try to connect to the internet on the Macbook Pro running osx 10.7.5 my internet will not work
    Safari Says (You are not connected to the internet) and Google Chrome says (Page is Unavailbe) and lists some trouble shooting options that I tried.
    When I go to System prefrences > Network my WIFI and Ethernet both say "Connected" and have a green light next to them.
    I have tryed deleting the connections and starting new ones and I have even tried deleting the Location and starting a new one.
    Nothing works - no matter what I do, even know the WIFI or ETHERNET says Connected, the internet will not work on the Macbook Pro.
    The Internet works fine on my Imac and I have tried everything such as swaping cables but there doesn't seem to be a problem with my internet
    or with my router - it all works fine with my Imac running Tiger.
    Can anyone help me get my internet working on my Macbook Pro again? Any ideas?

    Hello ASGR.SYS amd WahWar,
    I tried both of your suggestions and neither of them worked.
    ASGR SYS - When I tried it your way i got a message saying that the that the diagnostic couldn't repair the problem. It shows the thw WIFI, WIFI SETTINGS, NETWORK SETTINGS, ISP, all turn green. But the Internet and Sever stay red. The thing is, there is nothing wrong with my internet connection as I can connect to the internet on my Imac running tiger, both through ethernet and wireless. When I go to System Prefrences and Ntwork the WIFI and ETHERNET both say "Connected" even know I can't veiw any websites.suggestion
    When I tried WAHWAR's suggestion I get a message that says cannot connect to the WIFI network and then it lists your typical trouble shooting tips. Like Make sure you entered the right password and make sure you are in range of the wireless network
    Again, just to confoirm - My internet connection is working fne both the WIFI and the Ethernet. When I use it on my IMAC running tiger, everything connects as it should and it works perfectly. But when I try to connect with the MacBook Pro, Even know the connections in the Network settings window show up as "connected" the MacBook still seems to think that my internet connection isn't working at all.
    I have tried creating new connections, creating new locations, and I have even gone as far to reset my router and start completely from scratch. The result so far has been the same - the IMAC running tiger will connect - my blackberry and iphone will connect - but the macbook pro running lion will not connect..
    I'd apprechiate any other suggestions

  • Have Access to HD by ethernet and internet by wifi

    Hi,
    I use Time Capsule by Gigabit Ethernet, because I need fast access to it disk, with my iMac. Now I bought an iPhone and want to use it Wifi to access the internet.
    But when I turn on the internet by Wifi, my iMac access the disk of Time Capsule by Wifi (a lot more slow). If I change the order of network service (putting Ethernet in first, to access the HD faster) I can't access internet in my iMac.
    *How can I force the iMac to access the disk by ethernet and the internet by wifi?*
    Thank you,
    Paulo

    Depending on the details of your configuration, you shouldn't have to use both modes. You should be able to do both things over Ethernet.
    Yeah! Before I buy my iPhone, the Wifi of Time Capsule was Off. And I used only the ethernet to have access to the disk and for the internet.
    But now that I turn on the Wifi, I cant access the internet by Ethernet with my iMac (as I said before).
    Besides the Time Capsule and (presumably) a broadband modem, do you have any other networking equipment? if so, how is everything connected?
    In your Time Capsule, what are the settings for these things?
    - AirPort/Wireless/Wireless Mode
    - Internet/Internet COnnection/Connection Sharing
    I have a modem and a Switch. But the Switch is only for connect a PC, and printers in my network. The 2 iMacs that I have here are connect direct in Time Capsule.
    I always configure my ethernet manualy. With IP and every thing. Here:
    IP: 192.168.0.11
    Sub mask: 255.255.255.0
    Router: 192.168.0.1
    DNS: 192.168.0.1, 156.154.70.1, 156.154.71.1
    This always works to access the disk and the internet with wifi off.
    Now I turned on the wifi of Time Capsule:
    Mode: Create a wifi network
    Mode: 802.11n
    channel: Automatic
    Security: WPA2 Personal
    Thank you for you time and help my. And if you need more information just ask.
    Best regards,
    Paulo

  • How do I connect TC to a new ethernet and share a new ethernet DSL with a new PC and use with my macbook Pro? I tried and get no internet on the PC or Macbook Pro?

    how do I connect TC to a new ethernet and share a new ethernet DSL with a new PC and use with my macbook Pro? I tried and get no internet on the PC or Macbook Pro?

    Ok.
    I am connected to wi-fi through TC connected to a specific router and is working perfectly and saving data through TM without any issues.
    The TC version is 7.6.1 and am using OS 10.7.3
    The router mode is on Bridge mode and router is connected to TC through USB cable, I suppose for internet access. My Mac is on wi-fi through TC
    I have another location, much further, which recently have been installed with wi-fi through router that has WPA accessibiulity with password, 100% different than the current one.
    Since, I will be most of my time in this new location, I wish to move my TC to this new location, and configure it in similar fashion like what I am having right now.
    Naturally, I do not wish to lose any saved data on the TC.
    Hope I managed to provide enought info.
    Thanks in advance

  • Updating from snow leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain lion. During download when 75% done stops and says can not download check Internet settings.

    iMac purchased in January 2011. Updating from snow leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion. Download will not complete. At 75% downloaded it stops and says to check Internet connection.  What should I do?   Before the download I used Disk Utility to check/repair permissions, all software is up to date, and I emptied the trash.

    First, you are downloading Mountain Lion, so this error is not related to your disk drive. The problem is apparently with the internet connection between the computer and your router or your modem and Apple's servers. So it's an internet connection issue.
    At your end you can verify your connection is active and working. If you are using wireless then try using an Ethernet connection instead.

  • Network Configuration Window Freezes When USB NDIS Internet Connection Sharing and Ethernet Port Are Used Simultaneously

    Current Setup:
    Asrock Extreme 4 Z77 mobo with built-in Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet.  Windows 8 Pro. Intel i5-3570k (using onboard Intel 4000 HD Graphics).  RAID0- 2 OCZ Vertex 4's.  
    I will refer to this setup as my tower.
    The Ethernet port works fine by itself.  When I use wired tethering with my Android phone (Droid 4 running on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich), it works fine when nothing is connected into the Ethernet port in the mobo.  
    The issue arises when I try to connect both simultaneously.  The network configuration window in windows basically freezes and I cannot really navigate it without a ~60 second delay at best.  
    I would like to be able to accept the internet from my Android via a USB tether and either bridge the connection or use the internet connection sharing service to route traffic through the unused Ethernet port on the mobo (either to another computer/xbox
    or more desirably a switch/router to spread to the entire home network).  I have extensively researched the issue of Windows 8 become slow and unresponsive when I attempt to do this and I have not found anyone with the exact problem.  I am able to
    do both the MAC bridge miniport (bridge 2 connections) and Internet Connection Sharing though a Windows Vista (home premium) Laptop I have. The difference between the laptop and the tower I am try to do this on is the laptop has a WIFI and Ethernet connection
    while the tower only has the on-board Ethernet. 
    Do I have all the necessary equipment to accomplish this, or do I need to buy a PCIe WIFI card?  If so could I get away with just getting a USB WIFI dongle?
    Any help would be very appreciated. 

    I had the same problem and came here by searching.
    Per Rosengren's method solved the problem, but he didn't say how to do it, so I'll try to explain step-by-step for anyone that may venture here.
    Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
    Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (for me it's called HTC Remote NDIS based device)
    Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
    Click Browse my computer for driver software
    Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
    Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware
    For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Corporation
    Now you will have two options:
    - Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
    - Remote NDIS Compatible Device
    I chose the second one and it solved the problem, but if it doesn't work you could try the other one. In my case, the driver that was being used was neither of these, but a special driver from Android SDK ADT bundle.
    Pick one and click Next. If a dialog comes up, confirm by clicking Yes.
    Wait a few seconds for the connection to restart. If it doesn't work, try disabling and reenabling USB tethering on the phone, or reconnect the USB cable.
    I should also note that I'm using a custom Android ROM on HTC Wildfire S (unofficial Cyanogenmod). If you have a stock ROM with HTC Sense, maybe this method may not work and you'll need a proprietary HTC driver.

  • Problem with Airport/Ethernet and Sharing Internet connection

    I'm receiving my internet service through a wirless router. I am connected to it through Airport on my Mini. I am also connected to a dt G4 through a wired router (the G4 doesn't have airport). I want to share my connection from airport to the G4 on built in ethernet. On the mini I have internet sharing enabled (from airport to ethernet). I still cannot connect on the G4. Any ideas (should I disable dhcp on the router - tried that and it didn't work)?
    10.4.8 on the Mini and 10.3.9 on the G4

    Hi Jacob. Interesting setup.
    1) If all the computers connect properly to the router, whether wired or wireless, why are you trying the internet sharing?
    2) You mention a "dt g4" and an "MDD g4". I'm not a mac guy....are these different computers?
    And.
    Your mini's on wireless router. OK.
    Your "dt g4" is on wired router...Same router?
    If it's the same router, your network is something like this:
    Internet
    |
    Router
    | | |
    #1 #2 3?
    is that close?
    If so, then you really don't need internet sharing.
    Everone's "on", and if sharing is properly setup, all machines should "see" each other.
