Help me connect my G4 to my wireless DSL

Can I install a wireless PCI card adapter to make my DP450 wireless capable? I have a wireless DSL modem and would love to get rid of the cables. I can't seem to figure out if I can do it with just a PCI card or if I have to get an airport or something like that.
Thanks for the advice in advance.

Hi foxtam,
Welcome to the Discussions.
There are some Mac compatible wireless PCI adapters. MacWireless has one and i know there are others. Here's a link for macWireless.

An ethernet bridge might be a better choice. They're plug and play. Linksys has the WET11 and WET54.

Arrrrrrrrrrgh Please help me connect my itouch to my wireless network

Hi,
Why can't I connect my itouch to my BT Homehub wireless network?
The itouch picks up the signal but every time I try to connect it says unable to do so. I've reset all my settings on both the itouch and the BT Homehub 2.0 and it's driving me crazy. It has previously worked, so don't understand why all of a sudden its stopped.
Was at a friends house yesterday and it connected without any problem.
Now to top it all off my Texas Hold'em game downloaded from the App store this week won't work either. I click on the icon and get the apple logo then the screen defaults back to the desktop.
I'm not very technically minded so if anyone can help me in simple terms I'd be most grateful!!!
Cheers

I think this one should be a pretty simple fix since you could connect to the network previously. Resetting your network settings should fix it.

Need help on connecting USB: 300GB external hard drive to wireless router

Hello,
I am trying to connect USB2.0 Maxtor 300GB external hard drive to my wireless router. Tried using Linksys new product NSLU2 which allows any USB cable external hard drive to NSLU2 device/network storage hub and then connect this NSLU2 directly to wireless router with the help of 10/100 Ethernet cable which allows to access external hard drive wirelessly.
Unfortunately Linksys NSLU2 is designed to supports USB external drives up to 250GB only.
Can any one advice me if there is any device I can use to connect my external hard drive to wireless router and access files without connecting/carrying USB external drive?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I have WRT110 Linksys wireless router. I also have the latest firmware. fw 1.0.04. I have no problems connecting wired connections(2 PCs) and 1 wireless connection. However, when i tried connecting 2 or more wireless connections(3 laptops). All computers gets disconnected. I need to turn off the router again and my computers to get connected but only 2 PCs and 1 wireless laptop... Any help please! I already talked to tech support and no help! We tried to power cycle, reset for 30 secs, remove adapter, cables, etc. and didn't help! Same results! Can't connect on 2 or more wireless connections. We edited the basic wireless setting to WEP/WPA personal, band, channels, still no luck too! Im getting frustrated with this router. PLEASE HELP! I have Time Warner Road Runner cable internet. Thanks in advance!

Try these settings on Advanced Wireless
settings>>Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation
Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304. and Upload the same firmware on the router once again.

Unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly on Boot Camp with Windows 7

I recently installed Boot Camp and Windows 7 on my Mac Book Pro with no problems.
A month later, I am unable to connect to internet or print wirelessly.
It states that I am connected to my router.
When I trouble shoot, it cannot find the problem.
My wireless connection and cable connection are fine on the MAC side.
Please help.

looks a like a Windows 7 problem. I assume that you can click on the current connection info on the task bar and see a connection to your wireless router? Have you updated your copy of Windows since it was working? I am wondering if it's an update that's applied in Windows which has done something.

Connecting HP Laserjet P1102W to wireless network (then getting drivers!)

Hi,
My macbook pro and HP LASERJET P1102W seemed to be communicating just fine when I had snow leapard. Post update to Mountain Lion, problems.
I have gotten the printer to work when connected via USB, however not consistently. (Often it cannot recognize when paper tray is filled, cannot do two sided printing and has other issues perhaps connected to the fact that software is missing?)
I have read the documentation on HP site, noting that the only way to install drivers is via a network connecton and airprint which requires a network connection.
Not sure this is the right place to ask this, but I will for now:
How do I connect my printer to my network, which is a new home network as I just changed from DSL to Cable?
Note: I had not previously ever connected my printer to my wireless network and set it up to work with Airprint, though that is one of the reasons I bought it.
Once I do connect the printer to my wireless network, perhaps then I can try to follow the steps on the HP site   http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03425022&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=4142&product=4110396&sw_lang=
If anyone has experience with the above, I would love to hear it!
Final question: Is plugging the printer into the back of the new cable modem via ethernet or USB perhaps a way to put it on the wireless network? Not a convenient location, but if only alternative, I would try it.
THANKS!
Ani

Dear Happy-to-Help,
I appreciate you logging in to help. I shall give this a shot in the next couple of days when I have more time and let you know how it goes.
I have been quite frustrated by the fact that HP says if the HP Laserjet P1102W has worked fine with Snow Leapord and one upgrades to Mountain Lion, all the drivers will be automatically upgraded/updated (or whatever the term). That has not been the case at all.   It took quite a bit to even get my computer and printer to talk to one another via a USB connection—with none of the functions of the printer (as noted above) working properly to this day.
I hope your suggestion works. Will be back in touch to let you know.

How can I connect my iPad to my wireless Hp Officejet Pro 8500 A909g ?

How can I connect my iPad to my wireless Hp Officejet 8500 A909g ?

Are you trying to connect the iPad directly to the HP or using your wifi network?
HP published this page that may help:

Please can anyone help. I am trying to reconect wirelessly my Macbook pro laptop to a canon mp600r printer ?

HI.Can anyone help please. I'm trying to wirelessly reconect my Mac book pro laptop to my canon mp600r wireless printer. I had it working once but after having secured my linksys router ( set a password ) it no longer conects wirelessly but it works with a cable.

You need to run through the wireless network connection wizard on the printer. Try looking under Menu or Setup choices on the printer's LCD. It should be no different than what you did initially with it, except this time when you pick your WIFI network from the available list, it'll ask you for a password, at which point you type in what you set it up when you secured your network. Once you've done that, your laptop will see it again... you shouldn't have to reload any drivers or add it back on, it'll just see it again since it's just the network connection that's broken.
BTW, I hope you chose to secure your WIFI network with WPA2/AES encryption. If not, you might as well take the time now and just reconfigure it again to secure it with that and then fix your printer connection. It's the most secure.

Problem connecting MBP to established Linksys wireless network

just got MBP 2.16 (my first mac!). Having trouble connecting to my established linksys wireless network. I have the BEFW11S4 (V.2) etherfast wireless access point + cable router with 4 port switch. Currently have 128 encryption enabled. The linksys router is broadcasting its ID (I can see "linksys" on my mac) but it seems to not accept the password. I tried entering the 26 WEP key, the passphrase, the WEP key in quotes, the WEP after a $ sign... all to no avail. please APPLE community, help out a mac noobie before i have to turn back to Bill Gates....

To find the IP address or the status, go to system Preferences then network. It will show you the status of any internet connections. You should see one for Airport, it will either show a green light and say 'Airport is connected to the internet' (or something like that) or a red light and say 'Airport is is active but not connected' (something like that). If you double click on Airport or click 'Configure' you will see tabs, click on TCP/IP and it will show all of your details including your IP address.
As for the other, it always refers to wireless networks as 'Airport' and that response is the standard response from a Mac.
the password should be typed in the hex section, not sure about the $ sign. I've never had to do that before. But if you can't connect even with no encription then I would think it is another problem. I would turn off the encription until you can at least get connected and then you can worry about the security afterwards.

Connecting to Time Capsule via wireless and uverse

Here is my setup: I have Uverse and a Time Capsule. I have Uverse creating a wireless network, the TC plugged in via ethernet cable to Uverse and set in bridge mode. The TC is also creating a wireless network. I can use any device to connect to the wireless of either the Uverse or TC without any problems.
When trying to access the harddrive on the TC from a windows machine I can be on either the Uverse or the TC wireless network and connect without issue. If IM on my MAC I can connect via any of the wireless options, but I can only access the TC Harddrive (via Finder) if Im connected to the TC wireless network, if Im on the UVERSE network then the TC says connection failure.
Same goes for accessing the airport util on the MAC. It can see the TC and change the settings when on the TC network, but not if on the Uverse network.
Am I doing something wrong or is this just how the MAC is set to view/handle the TC?
Thank you, Erich

There is a difference between the default domain of the Uverse and the TC.
There is also issues perhaps with ipv6 which is now important to access and use the TC.
Do you have ipv6 set to link-local on the computer? This is crucial.
Also try netstat scan from network utility (hidden now in Mavericks so just type network in the search in finder)
Do the scan and see what you come up with when connected to either box.
For Mavericks.. I think sticking to short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric helps.
You can see the domain of the apple routers here is local. When the Mac gets an IP from the Apple router it will also pick up the domain.. so you can see my mini has local also as domain.. When it gets the IP from the Uverse it might not get a domain at all.. or it might be something else.
Anyway it gives you a few things to look at.
Try manually mounting the TC disk even if you still fail to get a connection using the Go, Connect to server from top menu in finder.
Use AFP://TCname.local or even better. AFP://TCIPaddress (where you replace with actual name or actual IP address)

How do I get a laptop to connect to my HPDeskjet 4480 wirelessly on my home network?

HP Deskjet F4480
Toshiba Laptop, with Windows 7 64 bit
Dell PC with Windows XP Pro 32 bit
No error message
I had installed the printer wirelessly to the laptop, it worked well, for some reason it now stopped working. I removed it from the laptop and reinstalled it, but it now will not print. the laptop is connected to our home network wirelessly. That works perfectly.

Hello RichBH,
Just to be sure I understand the issue, the printer is connected by USB to the Dell PC, and you want to print over the network from your Toshiba laptop?

Connecting to enterprise TTLS+PAP wireless

Ok, here's the problem. I can't connect to our enterprise wireless. I'm one of the network admins, and our director has purchased an iPad, and want to be able to connect it to our internal wireless network. It's a RADIUS server that uses WPA2 Enterprise with TTLS and PAP. I can connect with a laptop, and with my Droid, but not the iPad.
We have to put legis\(username) so that RADIUS knows where to put the user. here's what it looks like in our logs when I make a SUCCESSFUL connection

As you can see, it does NOT strip off the "legis\" part (like it should) AND it adds a capitol "P" to the end of my username!!! WTH!?!
The final error that I get in the log is this

I'm REALLY hoping that I can get some help from someone...'cause our director's really wanting to use this internally.

If you can't get an iPad an iPod with wireless and IOS 5 or above has pretty much the same wifi network mechanics. Again, the iPhones aren't much different in the wi fi area either. Refer to http://support.apple.com/specs/ for the specific technical specs of the device you are using to test. The biggest difference is that the iphone and ipod do not support the "a" spectrum and are b g n only, whereas the iPad is a/b/g/n. Perhaps the problem has something to do with 802.11a. Make sure your wifi gear has all the latest firmware. You could also turn off the the "a" radio beacon, I don't use it anymore as it created too many problems and g and n are really all you need anymore.

Anybody here successfully connect PlayStation 3 to iMac wirelessly?

I have internet sharing turned on. I have my wireless network set up using the iMac's built-in Airport Extreme Card. My PS3 can find my wireless network and it can obtain the IP address but it can not communicate with the server due to a DNS error.
Sony and Apple support could not help me. You all are my only hope. I know it can be done. I just need to find someone who has done it and is able to explain it to me.
Thanks for any help.

Sharing your Internet connection
If your computer is connected to the Internet, you can share its connection with other computers on your local network.
For example, if your computer is connected to the Internet using a DSL modem and has an AirPort Card installed, you can share the DSL connection with other AirPort-equipped computers.
On Windows computers, sharing your Internet connection is sometimes referred to as a "network bridge," or 'bridging your network."
1. Open System Preferences, click Sharing, and then click Internet.
2. Choose a network port from the "Share your connection from" pop-up menu.
3. Select "Built-in Ethernet" or AirPort depending on which computers will share your Internet connection.
4. If you have turned on the firewall on the Firewall pane of Sharing preferences, you also need to turn on Personal Web Sharing on the Services pane of Sharing preferences in order to share your Internet connection and allow computers connected to your Internet connection to browse the web.
IMPORTANT: If your Internet connection and your local network use the same port (built-in Ethernet, for example), investigate possible side effects before you turn on Internet sharing. In some cases (if you use a cable modem, for example) you might unintentionally affect the network settings of other ISP customers, and your ISP might terminate your service to prevent you from disrupting their network.
