How to change mac address on time capsule

Hi there,
How to change mac address on time capsule?

There are routers that allow you to create/clone a mac address to whatever you like. Since many companies use the mac address to 'register' a unit connected to it's system, you usually just have to let them know you've changed your router and they will reset your system to accept connections from the new device.

How to change mac address on mac

i'm sry i'm not sure if this is the right section or not but yeah.... nyways does anyone know how to change mac address on a macbook?

If you have not updated your OS you can use the following command.
sudo ifconfig enX ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
You will need to replace the X with your network number and the xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx with the mac you want to have.
Then run
sudo ifconfig enX down
sudo ifconfig enX up
This change will last till your next reboot.
cheers
NOTE: This is not working in 10.5

Add MAC Address to Time Capsule?

Hey everybody--
I have a MacBook Pro that connects to the Internet via a Time Capsule that is hooked up to a cable modem. I recently bought a Blu-Ray player that has a LAN port (no wireless), but it is miles away from the Time Capsule.
I would like to share my MacBook Pro's wireless Internet connection by connecting an ethernet cable between the Blu-Ray player and the MacBook Pro. I turned on Internet Sharing and selected share Airport with computers using ethernet. I tested it out by seeing if my wife's MacBook could share the connection and it worked like a charm. (I turned off her Airport card and her computer accessed the Internet via an ethernet cable between our two computers.)
Alas, the Blu-Ray player can't seem to share the connection.
The Blu-Ray player uses DHCP but tt appears to receive a self-assigned IP address.
The player manual says that if the connection fails "it may be necessary to set the MAC address of the unit at the router side."
Does anyone know what this statement could mean? Can I add a device somehow to the Time Capsule. Any other thoughts on ways to make this work?
Thanks in advance for the help!

I found this how-to on the Web. I'm not too saavy with terminal, so these things always make me a bit nervous. Anyone have any concerns about following these steps to see if it works?
The following procedure is confirmed to work as written.
Start Internet Sharing if it's not already running.
In Terminal, type cp /etc/bootpd.plist /tmp/bootpd.plist
Stop Internet Sharing.
Open /tmp/bootpd.plist for editing using TextEdit or whatever.
Locate this section of the file, near the end:
<key>replythresholdseconds</key>
<integer>4</integer>
Change the value 4 to 0.
In Terminal, type sudo cp /tmp/bootpd.plist /etc
Start Internet Sharing.
If you want to, check that your change to /etc/bootpd.plist hasn't been reverted.

Changed IP address on Time Capsule now can't back up

I have a time capsule 2GB model. I was using the time capsule only for backup as I had a router. The router I was using has gone bad so I decided to use the time capsule as a router also.
I set up the router portion of the time capsule as 192.168.xxx.1. It was 192.168.xxx.111. It works fine as a router. Now my MacBook Pro can not backup to the time capsule.
I would guess that the change in IP address is confusing the MacBook Pro as to where the backups go.
Should I change the IP address for the time capsule back to 192.168.xxx.111?
Is there a way to tell the MccBook Pro about the new IP address?
Should I reset the time capsule back to factory and configure all over again?
Any other suggestions.
Thanks

Did you try resetting Time Machine?
Open System Preferences and open Time Machine
Click Select Disk
Click your Time Capsule to highlight it
Click Use for Backups

How to retrieve ONE address from Time Capsule backup..

I found this, after a search, here.. in an archived Discussion-
"I decided to delete the entry from AddressBook and restore the previous hours' copy of the entire record for that person. It takes less than a minute to restore a record like this.."
I need to do this!
can anyone post (very) detailed instructions, please?!
I lost an important phone number and don't know when I inadvertently erased it.
I tried entering Time Machine; choosing a year old backup; and looked up Address Book under every heading I could think of (L's hard drive, L's iMac, Applications, etc) but every time I clicked on "Address Book", I simply saw a small screen picture of Address Book, version number.. no individual names or addresses..
I'd be grateful for help- thank you!

There is info on address restore here.

I am not sure if it is exactly detailed enough.

3750 mac-address-aging timer

Hi,
i'm trying to change mac-address timers but having problems, i.e the change Im trying to change mac-address-aging timers but having problems, i.e. the change only applies to existing active vlans. if i add new vlan after changing mac-address-aging timer it will have default value 300. Is this way it works or Im missing something?
3750-sw-1(config)#mac-ad aging-time 1300
3750-sw-1#sh mac-ad ag
Vlan Aging Time
10 1300
20 1300
30 1300
3750-sw-1#! Now adding a new vlan
3750-sw-1#conf t
3750-sw-1(config)#vlan 40
3750-sw-1 (config-vlan
3750-sw-1#sh mac-ad ag
Vlan Aging Time
10 1300
20 1300
30 1300
40 300
New vlan 40 has default value????

Just checked the command reference. In the usage guidelines it states:
Usage Guidelines
If hosts do not send continuously, increase the aging time to record the dynamic entries for a longer time. Increasing the time can reduce the possibility of flooding when the hosts send again.
If you do not specify a specific VLAN, this command sets the aging time for all VLANs.
The last sentence is relevant to your question. The command may also be issued on a particular vlan.
New vlans are created after setting this parameter globally will hence be using the default values.
The key issue to check if this is a bug or not is to check whether the global command is reflected in the config. If it was, I would call the issue a bug.
As it is not, you must approach this as a parameter that can (and should) be set per vlan. After creating a new vlan, you may add this line in the script or re-issue the global command.

Leo

How do i move my tv shows, movies and books from my mac to my time capsule to free up space on my mac?

how do i move my tv shows, movies and books from my mac to my time capsule to free up space on my mac?

Probably the easiest way is to drag the files from the iTunes window to the external drive. Make sure they have copied. Delete them from iTunes. Hold down the option key and drag the copied files back to iTunes. This will add them back but mapped to their new location and the option/alt key will stop the files from being copied to your Media folder on the internal drive.
In future if you are adding a batch of files in one go you can set preferences temporarily to store media on the external drive, then change back again. See also: iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

How to find mac address of a client computer in specified time and port in WIFI WCS Control system

how to find mac address of a client computer in specified time and port in WIFI WCS Control system

WCS record-keeping is very crude.
You'll get the time/date when the client authenticated. You'll get the local inside address but you'll need the router to translate the outside IP address and the port.
You will need a proxy server to determine what sites did a wireless client goes.

I changed my ISP, how I can Setting up my Time Capsule ?

Recently, I changed my ISP, how I can Setting up my Time Capsule again?

Hello. I jus tbought mine and will be setting up shortly. So I am only guessing here, based on how my airport extreme base station acted when I switched once. When you connect the ethernet to it, it should simply find the signal,a nd prompt you for the password information that you set up with the new ISP.
If not, please report back how it goes..

How to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?

Hi, I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to disconnect internet connection in Time Capsule and reconnect without restarting the whole device?
The thing is that as I have a dynamic IP address, everytime I restart the internet connection my IP address changes. I sometimes need it to change, so I need to restart the connection. I don't know another way to restart the connection than restarting the whole Time Capsule.
Thanks!!
PD: the computer I use is Windows based, using the Airport Utility for Windows, but I also have a MacBook Pro I could use and an iPhone too.

The utility in windows is very like Mac so the screenshots are from Mac as I don't have windows available now.
How this works depends on the setup of the TC.. which you did not tell us.. you cannot change anything if you do not have the TC as the main router in the network.
So on the internet tab you need to share a public IP address.
On the next tab where you set IP address.
Click the renew IP address.
It might work.. and it might not.. the problem is you are not disconnecting the network.. sometimes the hard disconnection is required before the address will renew..
What about unplugging the WAN port.. then click renew the IP which will fail.. then plug the wan back in again.
In the end it is easier and faster to power cycle the TC.

How do i set up my time capsule wifi for many users

hello ..
i have problem.. as always
my time capsule is connected to dsl modem (off(bridge mode)), in modem we can get only 10 ip adresses and no more. so when there are 10 pc connected to our wifi, no more can connect.... how can i set up my time capsule, so more people can join our wifi...? is it even possible?
P.S.
1) to our wifi is connected printer, so everybody can print...
2) every pc uses time capsule as bacup place in time machine.
tnx

You often see this limit of 10 clients in wireless hotspots but I have yet to see it in an adsl modem.. most strange way to pay for a service that is really irrelevant how many clients you use.
Have a go .. I recently setup a TC to help a guy run his Roku.. and this setup worked well.. I have no idea if it can work in your case.
Lets say the IP you get is 192.168.2.1-10 .. doesn't matter what it really is. And the adsl modem is 192.168.2.254
(Assuming they are private addresses.. if they are public IP you can just use the DHCP and NAT. )
But go to the airport utility.. I think you need to run v5 at least to change DNS.. but you can do the same thing in v6 using static but no dns changes.
Now you set the IP of the TC manually.. This address might need to be in the dhcp range of the modem to work. You can set the DNS to same IP as the router address.. ie home address of the modem. Or you can use another DNS.. whatever you like.
Then set DHCP for clients that will join.. this can then expand the scope of addresses..
It worked without a NAT error.. although I am not sure exactly how.. on paper it should not be able to work but did.. have a go.. otherwise there is perhaps another way.. but it is complicated.
Give us an example from a computer plugged into the modem of what IP .. subnet mask .. Gateway and DNS you get. Then I can fine tune the values for it.
