How do I connect a MacPro without an airport card to my wireless network

I have a MacPro that does not have an airport card. I have a Verizon FIOS wireless router. I connected my time capsule to the router with an Ethernet cable and my MacBook Pro has no problem connecting to the network. I placed my airport extreme upstairs in my office and joined the wireless network. I connected my MacPro to the airport extreme with an Ethernet cable but I cannot get on the Internet. It says the Ethernet has a self assigned IP and cannot connect to the Internet . What am I doing wrong?

To add to what Bob said, I've drawn out (on a sheet of paper) what you have described in your initial post, it seems you have an Airport Extreme 'connected wirelessly' to the Verizon wifi router? is that correct?
IF so, your Mac Pro's network settings should be set to DHCP via ethernet? I'm presuming that you can connect your Macbook pro to the Verizon Wifi using a local DHCP IP address automatic network settings right ?
Providing you can see the Airport Extreme 'upstairs' your Mac Pro should connect in exactly the same manner.
Does your Mac Pro have a valid IP address ?
If you can't get the Airport Express to 'connect/talk' to your wireless router, I would ask if you're using WPA/WPA2 secured network keys or an Open unsecured Network? the airport express probably wants the Wifi Key to 'handshake' with the wifi router you have.

If all the above are correct, you should be able to go into finder and 'see' the Airport Extreme And TimeCapsule, and laptop (if u have it connected), as well as your Mac Pro- if it all works right and sharing is turned on those devices.
First start by trying go into Aiport Utility in Applications > Utilities (or via finder) and see if the util can see your airport Extreme - using ur laptop ideally ) and try and get your Wireless extended.

  • How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network

    How do i connect my MacBook Air to a Printer on my Wireless Network ? The printer is connected to a PC running Windows 7. That PC is connected to my Wireless Network. MacBook connects fine to Network, but can't find Printer.

    Hi Kappy,
    Thanks for your response. I followed your instructions (for Mac OS 10.6.7). It seemed to set up OK, but when I tried to print I kept getting the following Failure Message "Session Setup failed : NT_Status_Invalid_Parameter".
    When I get the "Advanced Window" should I enter anything into the "Location" field ? Maybe I am not entering the correct Workgroup, Server or Sharename ? Is there a way to make sure all of that is correct ? I went on to the computer that the printer is connected to and verified all of that, but am not sure I looked in the right places.
    When I print via my Home Network from another Windows 7 Computer to the same PC, it works fine. I just can't get it to Print from my MacBook Air.
    I thought of using the IP Address. How do I find the IP address of the Computer that is connected to the Printer ? Is it what they call the IPv4 Address, or the IPv4 Default Gateway ?
    Appreciate any help you can provide.

  • How do I connect an HP printer via Linksys printserver to a wireless network

    Hi:
    I have an HP laptop running Windows Vista 32-bit Home Premium.
    It is connected wirelessly to the Internet via a Motorola SBG6580 cable Gateway.
    I have an HP C6280 All-In-One printer/copier/scanner: wireless is  not  built-in.
    A Linksys WPSM54G Printerserver is connected (hardwired) to the printer.
    Currently, the printer is connected to the laptop via USB cable, and I am able to print.
    (Previously, my wireless network connectivity was via a Linksys WRT54G router, 
    along with a modem. These were replaced with the Gateway.)
    How do I setup wireless connectivity between the Printserver and the Gateway ?
    I am not very network savvy (yet) , so I am not familiar with wireless connectivity details.
    Any ideas ???
    Thank you
    DaleBr

    From what I can tell you need help connecting the Linksys printer server to your network.  Linksys has good instructions for the configuring the printserver.  I've linked that site.
    After the printer server is on line you might need to change the printer driver setings to reflect the new settings.  A driver software reinstall should do that.
    Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"
    Sometimes it takes several posts back and forth to get to a solution - please be patient.
    I am employed by HP

  • How can I connect my macbook pro to printers on my windows wireless network, How can I connect my macbook pro to printers on my windows wireless network

    My Macbook Pro running lion 10.7.2 is connected to my wifi network, which also has a PC, an hp photosmart and an hp laserjet connected to a server.
    I have been able to set up printing from my mac to the photosmart by entering the ip address, although it can be tempremental.
    The problem is that I cannot even find the HP Laserjet on the network at all and cannot link up to it to print.
    Any ideas??

    Look in the printer manual for instructions.

    How can I purchase an app without a credit card?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5552
    When you create an Apple ID for any of these stores, you will need to provide a payment method for purchases. The available payment methods vary by country, but typically you can use:
    Credit cards
    iTunes Cards
    iTunes Store Gift Certificates
    Content Codes
    Store credit (including Allowance Account balances)
    ClickandBuy
    PayPal
    In countries where the iTunes Store only sells apps, the accepted payment methods are Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. Other payment types such as gift cards, store credit, monthly allowances, ClickandBuy, and PayPal are not accepted. Depending on your App Store country, prices may be listed in your local currency, US Dollars, or Euros.

    How can I register the iTunes without a credit card? No "None" can be selected but only different kinds of credit cards. Thanks!

    Get an iTunes gift card & redeem that in iTunes using your existing Apple ID.
    Then the option for none, regarding a credit card should appear.

    Only the carrier your phone is locked to can authorize your phone's official unlocking. You'll have to contact them as to cost/procedure. Note: Most carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a current or former customer, using that phone, on their network.

    To get the none option, sign out of anything apple you're signed into. Go to the app store and try to download a free app, any free app. Instead of signing in, take the option to to make a new apple ID. Then go through the steps to make the ID and you'll see the 'none' option.

    @Limnos - that doesn't work anymore. There is no NONE option. I've been at it for hours trying to set up my daughter's account. I've tried creating and verifying an appleID on the web, on her touch...everything. Every single time you get to the stupid Touch, it wants to walk you through the verification of the account and it demands payment (even for their suggested apple Remote method listed in the KB).

  • MacPro with no airport card + airport express

    Got an Ipad last week. Got an Airport Express this week. Tried to setup a wifi network since 2 days trough ADSL modem. Mac Pro as no Airport Card. Ethernet port 1 goes to modem. Ethernet port 2 goes to Airport Express. Successfully configure Airport Express from MacPro. Can see network from Ipad but no internet connection. The question is: Am I loosing my time? Is there a way to setup so that I can get internet on Ipad?
    Thanks.

    Hey Bersan, I know it was a long time ago, but i'm trying to do exactly the same right now, but you did not post one information:
    1* Enable Internet sharing from Ethernet 1 (PPP) to Ethernet 2 (Airport Express).
    2* Manually configure IPv4 on Port 2 with address 192.168.2.1. Submask at 255.255.255.0 And the Router? What do i put???
    3* In Airport Utility create a wireless network. Setup connect via Ethernet.
    4* Share connection should be deactivate (bridge mode).
    5* Manually configure IPv4 in menu TCP/IP.
    IP:192.168.2.12
    Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
    Router:192.168.2.1
    DNS:192.168.2.1
    You did not explain how to fill the "router" field on the Ethernet 2 form...
    Can you help me?
    Cheers!
