How to configurate a wired internet connection

Hello,
I have a macbook air, and in my workstation there is no wifi, but there is a RJ45 ethernet cable. Therefore, I have bought the apple usb ethernet adaptor MC704ZM, which is supposed to provide the internet connection.
The problem is that my macbook detects the usb ethernet adaptor, but ask me to configurate the connection; and that, I don't know how to do...
Can someone help me with that issue?
thanks

What is it asking. It's been a long time since I added the service but it seems like the defaults where all that was required.

How do i use my iMac and the macs wired internet connection to share the internet with my iPod and iPhone

How do i use my iMac and the macs wired internet connection to share the internet with my iPod and iPhone. For 6months I had set up a network that shared the internet through bluetooth to my iPod 5th gen but i messed it up when i tried to add my iPhone 5s and i can't remember how to do it.

The following has instructions: OS X Mavericks: Share your Internet connection

Can AirPort express be used for AirPlay with my home stereo, and to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via ethernet, simultaneously?

I am considering buying an airport but I am not sure if it will work how I would like it to. I need it for two things. The first would be to use for AirPlay with my home stereo. The second would be to use as a way to give my Xbox 360 a WIRED internet connection via the ethernet port. I would like to do these things simultaneously, rather than constantly changing the configuration and being limited to a single function each time I do so.
Thanks!

The 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can be configured as a wireless Ethernet bridge. In this configuration, it would join an existing wireless network and its Ethernet port would be enabled for a wired client, like your Xbox 360. This configuration would also support AirPlay simultaneously.

Problem connecting my macbook pro to a wired internet connection via ethernet cable adapter

I am having a problem connecting my macbook to a wired internet connection in an area in my workplace where there is no wifi. The macbook works fine on the same internet connection via wifi in other parts but when I add it as a wired connection it doesn't show any connection. I have turned off wifi to make sure that it is not trying to pick up a poor connection but I still can't get this to work. I think I am trying to set up the connection properly but can't be completely sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Open System Preferences>Network and make sure Ethernet is selected. If it is, open Advanced Settings (at the bottom of the Network window). Click on the TCP/IP tab. Configure IPv4 should be set to "Using DHCP".
Configure IPv6 should be set to "Automatically". When those are set click the "Renew DHCP Lease" button

I want to use Airport Express in my hotel room using the wired internet connection, but I don't carry a computer, just my iPad. Is that possible?

I want to use AirPort Express when I am traveling. I would like to use a wired internet connection in a hotel room to create a wireless connection. However, I do not normally carry my laptop, just my iPad. Is it possible to do this?

You will have to pre-configure the Express using AirPort Utility on your computer before you leave on the trip. The Express will store and remember the settings.
You might want to check with the hotel in advance to make sure that they have Ethernet ports available. Most hotels have switched to wireless and the others are not far behind.

How do I get the internet connection back onto ipad even though it connects to Wifi successfully and I have checked on my iPhone which does connect via the same wifi and to the internet?

Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address shown starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make/model, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Maps needs wifi on even when it a wired internet connection

Show location in maps must have wifi on, seems silly on iMac with wired internet connection. Also less secure

"since an Ethernet link could be up to 1000' from its point of connection to an ISP"
That's not the half of it. The *Ethernet* link is only to your cable modem or home network switch or what-have-you, and since you can carry your hardware anywhere on the planet, the fact that OSX could find out the Ethernet MAC address of other devices on the network is meaningless. The only thing remotely useful it can get from a wired connection is the TCP/IP address that your home system is presenting to the rest of the Internet, and, at best, that would just indicate where your ISP's central wiring closet is. In my particular case, packets go to my DSL modem, switching over from TCP/IP on Ethernet to ATM via ADSL, and stay as ATM packets until they get to CenturyLink's regional center, which is about 150 miles away from my house. My IP address (like most peoples') is assigned from a pool of addresses via DHCP, which means that the customer (and thus physical location) associated with any particular IP address can change week to week or even day to day.

Airport Extreme joining a network and sharing wired internet connections

Hi everyone,
My new ISP installed their modem/wifi router (Sagemcom) in my home two months ago. Since I share HDDs over the wifi network, I installed my airport extreme near the modem/wifi router and used it to "extend the network", and it worked fine until recently. It stopped working suddently with the yellow light flashing. When I tried to reconfigure it, I always got errors, needing to reset it even to be able to see it again in Airport utility. Honestly, I have absolutely no idea why it stopped working. I tried connecting the Airport Extreme with an ethernet wire to the modem with the same result. So, I decided to move the airport extreme in my living room and use it to share the internet connection with my PS3, slingbox and Apple TV, telling myself that a partly wired connection would improve the signal (since I also had an Airport Express in the living room extending the network before everything stopped working). Now, everything works; the green light is on, HDDs are available on the wifi network, I can only connect to the Sagemcom routeur but, meh, what do you want, BUT, my slingbox, Apple TV and PS3 can't connect to the airport extreme through a wired connection.
Two questions:
1- Is it possible to share a wired internet connection with my Slingbox, PS3 and Apple TV from an Airport Extreme that has joined the network? If yes, what do I need to do to make it work?
2- Any idea why my first setup stopped working?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot,
Frank

1- Is it possible to share a wired internet connection with my Slingbox, PS3 and Apple TV from an Airport Extreme that has joined the network? If yes, what do I need to do to make it work?
Unfortunately, the Ethernet ports are not enabled when the AirPort Extreme is configured to "join" a wireless network.
Ironically, the less expensive AirPort Express does have the ability to "join" a wireless network and deliver an Ethernet signal at the port(s).
2- Any idea why my first setup stopped working?
None that you probably have not already thought about. The most commons cause is a sudden power outage, or even quick power "blip" can sometimes result in the Extreme to losing some of its configuration settings. Otherwise, gremlins are hard to catch.

Connecting iPod touch to the Internet via a Mac with a wired Internet connection

I have a Mac Mini which is connected to the Internet using a wired Ethernet connection. I've just bought an iPod touch, but the iPod can't connect to the Internet using the wi-fi network I've created on the Mac Mini, although it knows that the network exists. Any ideas?

What happens when you try to connect to the network? Error message?
These may help

How do I fix this internet connection with Mobile Me setup?

Hi to the forum,
I purchased an apple ipod touch from Officeworks a few months back, and finally decided to set it up to work today.
I would like to get the Mobile me setup going, so I can locate my ipod if I accidentally lose it somewhere.
The only problem, is that after I have entered my password [which I am believing is the same as my apple itunes password to download intunes], I get this message saying:
"Verification Failed. The internet connection appears to be offline."
I am not sure how to join my ipod touch to the internet. I have it connected to my computer and I have itunes going, and my ipod is showing it is connected to my itunes program. I just can't workout how to actually have my ipod connected to the internet.
I am using Windows 7, and it is 64 bit.
Thanks if anyone has any clues as to what I should do here.
best,
Steve :-)

Hi Vazandrew,

How do i get an internet connection when i am out of range of my pc

hi...i have a 4th generation ipod touch...no problem with internet connection when i am close to my pc...but when i go out and am away from my pc i dont get a connection....... why is this and how do i get a permanent connection.................thanks

Because you iPod requires a wi-fi connection. It is not 3G or 4G like the iPhone. As lllaass said, you can get a portable wi-fi source that uses 3G or 4G technology, but there is a monthly subscription fee.
