how do i create a little network with my i-mac and macbook

Hello:
To give a sensible answer, a little more information is needed.
I am guessing that you want to set up a wireless network as you have both a desktop and laptop.
There are some pretty good tutorials/articles in the knowledge base articles.

  • How can I expand my wireless network with a Time Capsule and Airport Express?

    My entire house is wired for ethernet access (2 floors).  I have a Time Capsule on the 2nd floor that reaches the entire house except for one room. 
    In this one room I have an ethernet port plugged into an Airport Express. 
    The problem I encounter is that I have two separate wifi networks with two separate names.  I realize I can extend the wireless network on the 2nd floor to the 1st floor but I can only do this wirelessly to my knowledge, and the entire problem is that the signal doesn't reach the front room.  Also, there is really no place in-between that the AE can be placed to extend the reach.  The building is concrete and steel, I think that has a lot to do with the problem.
    My question is: Can I have two wireless routers (connected to the same home network via ethernet) broadcast the same wifi network?  I also have a SONOS system that further complicates things, I'm afraid.  Would it help if I drew some sort of diagram?
    Thanks!

    Your network is not working as you describe.. or I have misunderstood the layout..
    What is the broadband type? Modem is where? What is the main router?
    From your screen shots the main router is the airport express that covers one room which seems wrong.
    Why isn't the TC the main router? or both bridged.. if you go back and look at the apple document.. one or both apple routers are in bridge mode..
    You are having issues with setup .. half of which is caused by v6 airport utility.
    What OS are you running? Please install 5.6 utility.. do it.. do it now!!
    Easy for Lion.

    Messy but possible for ML.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall 6.1 so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

  • How do I  set up printer network with my two macs?

    I tried to find an answer to this "newbie" question but didn't seem to find exactly what I am needed to know.
    We have a desk top Mac G5 (Tiger) that belongs to my partner (lets call that Jim's Computer) which is connected to an HP 6310 printer via USB. I have a new Macbook (Leopard) that I use exclusively with the Airport terminal. I need to be able to click print on the laptop what ever office I am in, and go to the main office and get my page off the printer. Both computers are on the same connection, the airport is a branch off the main hub.
    We have set both computers to "share printers" on all accounts. My Macbook sees "Jim's Computer" and will subset it so I can actually see all three user files on his computer (Jim, mrbarth, B&B guest). I can easily access my folders and files in my accounts from computer to computer via Airport this way. I can not, however, use the printer function. I also need to point out that his computer is password protected for his account(Master) but I have access to both my account and guest account files if this makes any difference.
    Here is how I have both computers set up. Please tell me what I am doing wrong or what I need to add to make this work.
    On the main Desktop (w/printer attached) I have the printer Info which states its location at "Jim's Computer", its host name with a "lot of numbers plus our Internet service provider's CC.shawcable.net". It is set on the master and other accounts to share printer. On my laptop I have (under options and supplies) Location "Jim's computer" and host name "localhost". I also have the printer configuration to share on my Macbook.
    Do I need to somehow change the location of my Macbook configuration to read something like: "Jim's computer/mrbarth" or "Jim's computer.mrbarth"?
    Sorry for not understanding this. I am sure it is very easy and I just have one thing in the chain wrong. I am still a newbie on this even though I have been at the keyboards for over 10 years.

    First, you need to try logging into his admin account and trying to print. If that works then most likely there's something he must configure for the account you normally log into on his computer to allow a remote user to print.
    Second, consult the printer's manual to ascertain what if anything may require configuration to allow wireless printing. It's also likely that if you cannot print wirelessly that it's a problem with the printer driver that was selected when you added the shared printer. If there's a GutenPrint driver for you printer model try using it instead of the manufacturer's proprietary driver. If you don't have these drivers installed you can install them from your OS X Installer Disc's Optional Installs installer or you can download them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Usually troubleshooting this type of issue requires starting from the basics. First be sure you can print when the printer is connected directly to your computer. Then check to be sure you can print with the printer shared from the other computer without any sort of imposed protections, firewalls, etc. Since this is a USB printer be sure you enable Printer Sharing on the computer to which the printer is connected. File Sharing is not a requirement for printing, but Printer Sharing is. Once you determine things are working with the most basic setup, you can start adding in each piece to the final setup checking along the way until either everything works or you find where it stops working. You can then start troubleshooting that issue.

  • Creating two seperate networks with 2 time capsules?

    So i currently have two time capsules. The first one is bridged with my dsl modem and is acting as my internet gateway and backup for my main imac and macbook which are connected wirelessly as well as a file server with addition external harddrive connected via usb.
    I want to connect an additional timecapsule via ethernet and use it to create a seperate wireless network that allows my guests, kids macbook and any of his hooligan friends to connect. The second time capsule will allow my kid to back his macbook up. I dont want this network to be able to access my up stream network with my main imac and macbook because I will not be issuing poeple access to it except myself and will lock it down with MAC address filtering.
    I am worried as my kid or any guests I allow to access my network can or will be able to reach my main computers and I want to prevent that. Is this possible with two time capsules?

    Now if this setup will reduce the NAT doubleing issue on the ps3, xbox and apple tv's thats good?
    Should work as long as you understand that these devices are connecting to the Guest Network on your "main" TC. How well wireless will work going through all the obstructions is open to question.
    You will also be sacrificing half of the bandwidth on your "main" TC when you enable the Guest Network feature.
    There will still be a Double NAT for devices that are connected to TC #2.
    My next question is how do I allow everyone to see my ethernet printer? Plug it into TM#2 ethernet port?
    Not sure what you mean by "everyone".
    If you plug it into the TC #2 Ethernet, devices on the TC #2 network will be able to see it, but not devices on the "main" TC network.  Reason....TC #2 is on a different subnet than TC #1......unless you want to setup TC #2 in Bridge Mode.
    If it were me, I would password protect all computers and devices on the "main" network, except the printer. Then, connect TC #2 in Bridge Mode and call it a day. 
    Users on TC #2 will be able to "see" other devices on the TC #1 network, but not connect to them unless they have the password for the device.

  • How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?

    I'm seeking a little guidance -
    How do I create/host interactive articles with embedded video for use in browsers?
    The aim is to bring together video, design, images and writing in one place. A little like Born Presents, but very accessible and user friendly.
    I'm happy using InDesign but want to create interactive articles / magazines that have embeded video files as required. I've been looking at .SWF files but I've come unstuck.
    I want people to view the articles via a blog, ideally with them opening in a lightbox style viewer. It's not intended for tablet viewing and people should be able to view and interact with the files with little effort on their part.
    I think I know how to create these files within InDesign, but I'm not so hot on web design and I'm not sure how to host these online. Does this start coming into the realms of Flash?
    If anyone could point in the right direction I'd really appreciate it - Thank you in advance.

    PDF is one thing. Folios for DPS is another. There is a little bit of
    overlap but not much.
    The interactivity in the folio overlays panel is for DPS only.

  • Creating a little GUI with adding DNS record functionality

    Hi all,
    Creating a DNS record (A record) is pretty straight forward in Powershell. I wonder if somebody knows how to create a little GUI with the powershell commands in the background to create DNS records.
    For example something like a HTML form in where u can enter the DNS name, the Zone and the IPv4 address. Click Add and Powershell will add it on the background. I cannot find any good information on this when i google on it.
    Thanks!

  • How to Manually Create Wi-Fi Profiles with Open Authentication & WEP Encryption

         I clicked Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center> Set up a new connection or network > Manually connect to a wireless network, but I wasn't able to select WEP for Encryption type when I selected
    Open System for Security type. Why not? I hear Open authentication & WEP encryption is more secure than WEP authentication & encryption. Doesn't Windows support Open authentication & WEP encryption?
         I tried it on several computers: Win8.1/8/7, hp/DELL/ASUS/acer, but on neither of them was I able to select Open authentication and WEP encryption at the same time. Wi-Fi is enabled, and every user account that I tried it from is admnistrator
    one.
         I can manually create Wi-Fi profiles with WEP authentication and WEP encryption. What I wanted to create is, however, those with Open authentication and WEP encryption.
         I'll appreciate your help.

    Hi,
    Acctually speaking, Both type of WEP encryption is not secure. I'm agree with SenneVl's opinion, it would be better to use WPA encryption. You can refer to the contents of the link belwo for more details:

  • How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    How can i create a new user with only read rights ?

    You are asking about a Database User I hope.
    You can look into the Oracle 8i Documentation and find various privillages listed.
    In particular, you may find:
    Chapter 27 Privileges, Roles, and Security Policies
    an intresting chapter.
    You may want to do this with the various tools included with 8i - including the
    Oracle DBA Studio - expand the Security node and you can create USERS and ROLES.
    Or use SQL*Plus. To create a
    user / password named John / Smith, you would login to SQL*Plus as System/manager (or other) and type in:
    Create user John identified by Smith;
    Grant CONNECT to John;
    Grant SELECT ANY TABLE to John;
    commit;
    There is much more you can do
    depending on your needs.
    Please read the documentation.

  • How can I create a zip file with LabVIEW?

    I would like to compress my data (ASCII format) to an archive.
    I use LVZlib.vi to compress and decompress data but I would like to be able to read the output file with a software archiver such as PowerArchiver/WinZIP.
    Someone knows how I can create a file compatible with zip or gz standard format, thanks !

    >> Yes but I have to install a special archiver (with ms-dos ommand line ability
    >> such as pkzip,arc,rar,arj...) on the computer where I install my LV application.
    Search for "gnu tools for windows" and get zip.exe, gzip.exe, bzip2.exe and others (even the source, if you like). These are about 50kB files that run in place (no installation) - easy to include in a distributed app. Oh, since I'm logged in I'll attach a couple, though I don't have the source on this machine).
