How to setup a wireless webcam

I have never used a webcam before so please bear with me. I want to set up a webcam in a room away from the iMAC to be able to view what my dogs are doing during the day. Can anyone please help me with step by step instructions on how this is done and what I will need?
I have a Belkin router that is currently connected and I am able to get wireless from both PC and MAC from anywhere in the house. Are there specific cameras that will only work with MAC? Software?
I would like to be able to be at work on my PC and be able to use the web to view what the webcam sees at home. However the iMAC and webcam will not be in the same room at home. Any and all help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

How to setup a wireless printer

I was wandering if anyone out there knows how to setup a wireless printer without spending a lot of money. I have a dell photo 962 printer and a wrt54g router. I have tried to setup the printer on my laptop but it will not let me do so unless I connect it directly to the printer. My computers are running windows xp. Thanks for your help.

well for that you need to setup a printer as network printer, if your printer have networking capabilities...if not then you need to buy print server...

Help! Confusion over how to setup intel3945 wireless and rc.conf

Hi,
I'm very confused. I've already read through all the wikis and searched many forum posts. I can't get my wireless intel3945 to work on my dell vostro 1400.
Iwconfig says the wireless card is at wlan0 and dmesg | grep iwl says it has detected it. However, when I try a iwlist wlan0 scan it returns :
wlan0 Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
I think the problem is that I don't know how to setup rc.conf correctly or use the command line to test the wireless. Forum posts say many different things on how this is done.
These are the steps I have taken:
uninstalled the ipw3945 and ipw3945-ucode and ipw3945d.
installed iwlwifi and iwlwifi-3945-ucode
in my rc.conf modules, added iwl3945.
I'm not sure how to setup the networking section, this what I have now:
lo="lo 127.0.01"
eth0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo etho)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
And in my dameons I have 'network'.
How can I scan for networks and connect to them on the commandline? I'd prefer not to use a gui tool because they never work and never tell me why they're not working.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers!

(less complicatd than the above)
don't use netcfg2
Why?
no particular reason.
Simply when I configured wireless, netcfg2 wasn't available. Since then it (wireless) works, so not having any problems, I did not modify network setup. Next week or so I am going to install Arch on my daughter's laptop (per her request ) so I will try netcfg2.
So this is what I have for ipw3945 wpa2 or iwl3945 with wpa2
Below you will find a lot of words so read slowly but there is not much actual work
ipw3945 setup
kernel 2.6.23.x (Arch or vanilla)
or
kernel 2.6.24/2.6.24-gitX (patched with ipw3945 patch from gentoo -> compiling separate module for 2.6.24 may fail. if you want kernel patch I can post a link)
for default kernel install Arch packages for ipw3945, ipw3945d, ipw3945-ucode
or
if you want to compile modules, you will also need ieee80211 (first uninstall kernel's default, then install from sources otherwise ieee80211 from sources may refuse to install)
modify /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(.... @ipw3945d @network ....)
that is all you don't need to add ipw3945 to MODULES=(.....)
because ipw3945d will automatically start ipw3945 module
do not list eth1 in network config section:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
as you see, in my case only eth0 (wired) is listed and eth1 (wireless) is not listed
now you are done with basic network configuration for ipw3945, restart network/computer to bring up ipw3945d/ipw3945
check if modules are up and basic network is set:
#lsmod | grep ipw
#ifconfig -a
or
#iwconfig
if all is o.k. configure
WPA2:
configure router for wpa2
client: basically follow Arch wiki:
configure wpa_supplicant (installed already of course)
#wpa_passphrase your_ssid your_psk
keep terminal window open with created encrypted wpa passphrase and in the second terminal window edit /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
network={
ssid="your_ssid"
scan_ssid=1
proto=WPA RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
pairwise=CCMP TKIP
group=CCMP TKIP
psk=whatever_output_from_wpa_passphrase
Above pairwise and group setup will depend on your router (network capabilities)
almost done:
run
#wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i eth1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
the above assumes that your ipw3945 is set as eth1 (from iwconfig output)
to connect to the network I am using "wireless assistant" http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.ph … tent=21832
that is all for ipw3945. You may automate network starting/connecting to wpa2 by writing simple script.
iwl3945
--kernel 2.6.23.x
install iwlwifi and iwlwifi-3945-ucode
--kernel 2.6.24.x
install only iwlwifi-3945-ucode as kernel has iwlwifi module incorporated
default iwlwifi does not support LED so I suggest to install something like knemo for kde to show active network icon. The latest iwlwifi does support LED but it is not yet incorporated into 2.6.24 vanilla kernel.
if you have kernel 2.6.23.x with external iwlwifi module
modify /etc/rc.conf
and add iwlwifi to
MODULES=(.....)
nothing else is required.
if you have kernel 2.6.24 with integrated iwlwifi module you don't have to edit /etc/rc.conf
As in the case of ipw3945, I do not list wireless interface (wlan0) in /etc/rc.conf
for kernel 2.6.23.x
load module/restart network or simply restart computer
check if module is up
#lsmod | grep iwl
#iwconfig
or
#ifconfig -a
WPA2
same wpa_supplicant.conf as above, so if you already have it no need for modifications.
start wpa2
#wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i wlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
the only difference in the command is wireless interface: wlan0
connect to the network, again I am using "wireless assistant"
vpn
I am using cisco vpn. Client is provided by vpn host, cisco does not provide vpn client for individual download, but you can find it on line.
vpn host will provide pcf file for you
- install vpnclient
- copy your VPN profile (vpn.pcf) to the
/etc/CiscoSystemsVPNClient/Profiles
directory
-- start vpn client
/opt/cisco-vpnclient/bin/vpnclient connect vpn pcf_file_name
provide username and password and off you go
From my experience none of linux gui for vpn works reliably so you will have to resort to the command line.
That is all, a lot of writing, but actual ipw3945 and iwl3945 configuration is straightforward and very short.
Hopefully this will work for you.
forgot to add regarding vpnclient (cisco)
you will have to modify
/etc/init.d/vpnclient_init
line 38 and line 101
replace
/sbin/lsmod
with
/bin/lsmod

How to setup a wireless connection with a STATIC IP?

How to setup a Wireless Hard Drive on Airport Extreme to access on anywhere

Is there anyway to access a Hard Drive connected to my Airport Extreme via USB from anywhere? It works great on my local network but would like to be able to access it anytime anywhere? Is there an application I need and will I also be able to see everything on my iPhone?

apple doesnt sell hard drives. Look on newegg.com or macsales.com. Any 2.5" that is 9.5 mm or less in height will fit. Here are installation instructions: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Unibody+Late+2011+Hard+Drive+Rep lacement/7513

How to setup a static IP for a wireless printer

This problem has been ongoing for several versions of OS X and the last five printers I've had and I'm finally over messing with it. For some reson, when using a wireless printer with OS X this is a repetetive problem, and I think if I configured the printer to a static IP address instead of using DHCP, it might work better. At least once a week, if not more often, I'll print something and get the ubiquitous Dock error of "Printer is not connected". The printer is still in Preferences, but if I delete it, then it doesn't show up as it should for selection.
The only way to fix this is reboot, and then the printer shows up again in Preferences. I select it and all is well again...until a few days pass and the same thing happens again. Using an HP LaserJet P1102w, still a current model, but it doesn't matter which printer I use. I also have an Epson Artisan 725 and the same thing happens with it about once a week. Also, this happens from both my Mac and my wife's Mac, so it's not an issue with just my machine.
I've searched for documentation on how to setup a static IP address for a wireless printer with the Airport Extreme, but all I find are tutorials on how to do it with an ethernet hard-wired printer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could set up your router to do manual assignment of IP address instead of using DHCP, but that is a PITA, because then you'd have to manually set up IP for all your devices.
If you have AirPOrt Extreme, you could do this:
In your Apple TV, go to the Settings >> About and write down the MAC address of your ATV
Start up the AiPort Admin Utility
Go to Network tab
click + in the DHCP reservations
Choose an IP you want for your ATV & Enter the MAC address
From now on, this IP address will be reserved to the MAC address and only your ATV will be able to get it, no other device will.
It is not a static IP in a true sense, but behaves just like one.
Works great for me...
If you don't have a AP Extreme, I'm sure other routers will allow you do reservations too.

How Do I Setup a Wireless Network in my home for 3 Mac's and 2 PC's

Ok..... I live with 5 people and we all have computers. I'm looking to setup a Wireless Network in our house that would allow all of us to access the Internet from our various rooms. Currently we have 3 MAC (a G5 Desktop, a regular Desktop, and a Powergook G4 with airport extreme), and 2 Window's based PC Laptops. So far everyone is using DSL, with the exception of myself. I sit in the back yard accessing the neighbors wireless network. That ***** and I feel like I'm stealing.
How would I go about setting up a Wireless network for all of these computers, and what equipment would I need to accomplish this?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

First thing you need is a wireless router. You mentioned Airport Extreme---not sure if you are speaking about the card in the PB, or an actual router. Bottom line is that you need a wireless router. Airports will work with Windows, and Netgear is another good option as they are Mac friendly. Then, any computers that don't have wireless card will need to have one--unless you connect them directly with an ethernet cable. Get the IP addresses of all of the computers on the network. In Windows, go to Start-My Network Places-View Network Connections, then highlight the LAN that is displayed. With it highlighted, go to the "details" window and open the drop down menu if it is not open already. Write down the IP address. Then, go to the Macs you have, click on Finder--Go--Connect to server. Type in the IP address with smb:// in front and / at the end--will look something like this smb://192.xxx.x.xx/ Then select connect. Make sure you know the username and passwords of the computers as it will ask for these. To share the files from the Mac to the Windows, just follow these directions: You can set up your Mac so that you can share files with Windows computer users.
To allow Windows users to connect to your computer, you need to turn on Windows Sharing. When you turn on Windows Sharing, Mac OS X uses the Samba server software to provide SMB/CIFS file services.
You also need to give the Windows users the network address of your computer, and a user name and password of a user account on your computer.
Open System Preferences and click Sharing and, if necessary, click Services.
Select Windows Sharing in the list, then click Start.
Click Accounts and select the name of the user account that will share files. Enter the password for that user.
Look below the services list for your computer's network address. Give this address to Windows users.
You can provide users with the user name and password of any account on your computer. To help keep your computer secure, you may want to create a special account for Windows users in Accounts preferences.
Because passwords of the user accounts for Windows are stored insecurely, turn off the account when it is not being used. Before you turn off Windows Sharing, turn off all the accounts you enabled. Otherwise, the passwords are still stored insecurely.
If you want to use a user account that existed before you installed Mac OS X Panther, you may need to reset the password for the account using Accounts preferences.
Any of this info can also be found in the help files in the Finder. Hope this helps.

How to setup wireless printing with AirPort Express?

Hey, I just bought a AirPort Express today and I can't figure out how to setup the usb wireless printing. Could someone explain in detail on how to do this? Thanks-Michael
I have a Windows 7 64-bit PC and a Hp Deskjet F380 USB printer.

Download the install Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
Run the program. Hopefully, your printer will be recognized.
If it is, "install" the printer and try to print.
Keep in mind that if you have an All-in-One type of device, that only the print function will be supported.
Advanced features like copy, scan, maintenance, etc are not supported. You will need to connect the All-in-One directly to your PC if you need those services.

Set up a Foscam wireless webcam through BaseStation 7.71 inside and outside of my home network.

I bought a X10 wireless Security Camera last year and it took me months to figure out how to set it up to access the video both inside my home and through my iPhone remotely, even on my Mac at my office. I thought I would provide my process of getting this done to help those trying something similar. Yes the X10 camera works as a Foscam Camera. I am very happy with the result. The biggest challenge was Port Forwarding the Apple Basestation but now that I figured it out, it is easy.
"How I set up a Foscam wireless webcam through Apple Hardware and software to work inside and outside of my home network seemlessly."
What you need:
-Foscam or compatible camera, (iPad or iPhone or Mac or better all three)!
-Service Provider Router.
-Apple Base Station, Extreme or Express. 7.71
-'ip scanner' (software for Mac, app for iPad/iPhone.
-CCTV Camera pros port scanner app for iPhone.
First REMOTE ACCESS
Go to www.dyndns.org and set up an account. For about $20/yr you can have 30 host websites. Write down the user name and password as you will need it later.
You need this service to have a stable website to see your camera outside your network later as 'ip' addresses can change but this site will remain stable.
Then after you log back in, create a 'host website' from the menu. When you are creating the host site, dyndns will give you lots of web address choices or you can create your own. Just pick one. Also, you will need the 'ip' of the server where the camera will be. Luckily the dyndns website tells you this, just select it. Write down the web address, click create and you are done this part.
Next you need to set up the camera.
CAMERA SET UP
Using an Ethernet cable, connect your Apple Base Station to your web cam.
You will need to run 'ip scanner' to see the 'ip' address for the web cam. Write down the 'ip'. Select it, then select "open device in". Pick browser.
A web page will be launched and you are given 3 choices. I picked the middle, 'push browser'. You are then asked for the user name and password for the camera. By default the user is 'administrator' and there is no password. Just click log in. You now will see a menu along the left, at the bottom it should say 'device management'. Select that. Another page will show and there are several important things to do here.
1. Alias - give a name to the camera.
2. Set the time from a server.
3. Users - set a user and password. Write this down as you will need it.
4. Basic network. Either check to 'Obtain IP from DHCP Server' or specify an IP you want to stay the same. You need the subnet and main DNS server and the Gateway (same thing like 192.168.0.?or 10.0.0.? or 172.16.0.?)
Decide on a port you want use. Write this down. The camera will reboot, you will need to log in. In the browser enter IP then : the port#. Like 192.168.0.?:80 you will need the camera user name and password.
5. Wireless-scan for the nearby network list. Pick your network, enter your password, click submit. It will reboot.
6. UPnP-check to use.
7. DDNS Service (this allows remote viewing) pick DynDns.org
Enter your DynDns user name and password.
Enter the long DynDns Host website you wrote down. Click Submit. It will reboot.
APPLE Basestation set up
Run Airport Utility on Mac or iPad or iPhone.
Tap basestation, tap edit, tap advanced, tap Port Settings, tap 'new entry', in description enter a name, enter HTTP port number you picked when setting up the camera in all 4 spots: public and private UDP and TCP. Enter the IP address you picked in the camera setup. Click done and again until the Basestation updates.
Run the CCTV app, pick 'tools', pick 'Port forwarding Checker'. Enter the port you selected to see if it shows open then you are good. If not go back through the steps.
Set up Foscam App on the iPad and iPhone.
Run App, tap Add Camera,
Label- enter a name
User- Camera user name
Password- Camera
Local camera address-the IP address eg 192.168.0.?
Port- the one you specified.
If it connects you will see the chain turn green.
Remote address- the long one from DynDns.
Port- the one you specified.
If it connects you will see the chain turn green.
Tap done.
If everything is entered correctly it will all work.
Trouble shooting, make sure the IP address for the camera is listed correctly in the Apple Router. If it changes on the network, just go into the Airport Utility and update that. Also make sure the dyndns address is correctly listed in the Camera set up.
If questions, just let me know.

Ok.. you have to work out the way you are going to access the TC..
There are basically three methods..
1. Direct access using AFP.. you need a static public IP and the TC as the main internet router.. then you need to turn on internet access and password the hard disk. The college has to have port 548 open.
If you do not have a static public IP then you can use ddns service but there is no client in the TC.. so you will have to figure out a way to update the service.
2. Use BTMM with icloud. This is the Apple method. It actually uses vpn..(the vpn is locked to apple use only but it is not available to end user).. The requirements are 7.6.1 firmware and lion or ML on a Mac computer. I am not sure of the ports because the link to the Apple cloud is separate from the vpn to your home system.
3. VPN.. that means you need to bridge the TC and use a decent quality vpn modem / router or combo thereof.
VPN are not for the faint of heart.. it can take a lot of work to get running but offers the best security.. you will need to change the network equipment in your house more than likely.. using a pc / mac as a vpn server is possible.. but messy.
There are also easy ways to at least access the home computer.. teamviewer for example. This is likely blocked by the college though.
Double NAT is where you put a router on a private IP behind another router on a private IP.. that makes port forwarding close to impossible.

How to setup my airport for music streaming

Hi all
I would like to use my iPhone and or iPad to stream music from Pandora and Spotify to my 5.1 (Wired) Speakers.
This question is similiar to this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4153687 however i wanted some clarity and thought best to start a new discussion before pulling my hair out doing this the wrong way.
I have an unused Airport Express basestation (A1408) My current home setup is as follows:
Modem Router: (Netgear DGND3700) N600 Wireless ADSL2+ Dual band Gigabit
Home Theatre Computer: Windows 7 (Cat6 LAN Ethernet connection) NO LAN port
AV Reciever: (Onkyo TX-SR309)
5.1 Speakers: Wired connection to AV Receiver (NOT Airplay capable)
Laptop: Windows 7 (Cat6 LAN Ethernet connection)
My question is how to setup the airport, i understand it can be used to enable airplay streaming of music over the existing WiFi network, as these music streaming apps download and play music concurrently i would not want to have to switch between to two seperate WiFi networks. Should i plug the airport into the HTPC? I would need to purchase a LAN Splitter as the only LAN socket is already taken up with my cat6 connection. OR would i plug it directly into the modem/router? This second option is prefereable.
I have attached an image of my setup below. Any advice would be great, Regards Steve

Still slightly confused, with the link you provided i chose scenario 2. All the other secanrios instructed i connect the airport express to my home stereo or powered speakers. As i dont have an aiport express only an airport extreme there is no audio jack and cannot connect it to the stereo/speakers.
option 2: Connecting to an existing Wi-Fi network as part of a roaming network
Ensure that the AirPort base station Ethernet cables are connected as above
I have done this and conected it via ethernet cat6 to the modem/router
Launch AirPort Utility 6.1. The Assistant will automatically configure the Roaming network
Im using windows 7 and cannot find this version of aiport utility, only 5.6.1 - The message comes up: Aiport utility was unable to find any airport wireless device. I am running this utility on my win7 HTPC (which is connected to my modem/router via cat6 LAN) The airport light is blinkng amber.
would you reccommend a hard reset of the airport? or can you provide a link for AirPort Utility 6.1.?
Regards

Ha Amanda! First, you'll want to make sure your line has been provisioned for Mobile Hotspot service. You can add the feature to allow you to share up to 2 GB of data for 5 other devices for $20.00 per month. Once that is confirmed, please follow these steps to set up your device's mobile hotspot:
Settings> Wireless & Networks> Tethering & Portable hotspot> Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings> check mark next to Portable Wi-Fi hotspot. This will disable all other data access so that the data usage is allocated correctly. When finished using your Xperia Play as a hotspot, remove the check mark from Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.

How to setup a network with a time capsule, airport extreme and an airport express?

Hello.
First I want to make it clear all my knowledge off wireless networks is going on forums on the internet, before a couple of months ago I didn't realize wireless networking was so intricate so forgive my lack of experience.
I just bought a time capsule (today, 4th generation), I have an airport extreme bought in January 2011 (they just got refreshed so mine is now one generation old) and the same with my airport express (bought in January).
I originally bought the airport extreme and setup a wireless network using the dual band setup. I have no issues with the 5ghz network and most of my devices run on wireless n so I had no issues with them. my only two wireless devices that can not use the 5ghz network is my iPhone 4's which use wireless n but it has to use the 2.4ghz signal. Problem is in my apartment I am bombarded with other peoples 2.4ghz networks so my signal is terrible 10-15 feet from the airport extreme. Near my extreme I am getting signal ranges around 15mb to 20 mb. When Im about 15 minutes away in my bedroom (so one wall in between) my signal plummets to 1-2 mb. sometimes as low as 0.17mb which is not good. I got the airport express to extend my range and placed it in my bedroom. . After setting up the airport express the signal still was terrible. I researched and realized that if the signal strength ***** then the airport express cant boost the signal as much which makes sense in hind sight. I then researched setting up a roaming network or a WDS network. Per research a WDS network was not recommended b/c I was not using a wireless g network. I attempted to create a roaming network and then realized that you can not use an airport express in a roaming network. This has led me to now buy a time capsule.
First, in my setup do I or should I have the time capsule as the primary? I believe its more powerful than the airport extreme but Im not sure if that matters in a network that is distributing wifi from ethernet (thats how I am connected the extreme and the time capsule)
so can I do
cable modem ETHERNET Airport extreme(in the living room where its always been and works great in that immediate area) (3rd generation) ETHERNET Time Capsule(in the bedroom where I usually get poor signal) (4th gen) and then an airport express connecting to the 2.4ghz signal in the bedroom where the time capsule also is EXTENDING the wireless range?
or should it be the time capsule first bc its more powerful?
I tried setting up this setup and everything is green but I don't know if what I am doing is actually working on full cylinders b/c I am confused on some aspects. mainly on the airport extreme which is the primary device I have under the wireless tab selected create a wireless network and on the time capsule it also is on create a wireless network with the network name being exactly the same. Should it be changed to extend a wireless network? and then bridge mode? Should I have different channels for the different devices that are on 2.4ghz?
I am open to hear ANY suggestions, or ideas to improve my setup. PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!, lol its been 5 long months of poor internet in my bedroom where my wife has her setup with a roku box and wifi tv (I have those hardwired for now) but mainly for her iPad and iPhone b/c its so bad sometimes she has to turn wifi off and use 3G. I have same issue in my bathroom, sometimes Im getting decent signal and sometimes its so bad I can't open the link on an RSS feed in safari which I have to assume doesn't require that much bandwith?
I have no wireless g devices. The only device I need 2.4ghz for is my iPhone 4's but they both use n also. All my other deivices connect on 5ghz and my 5ghz network is decent, a lot better than the 2.4ghz network atleast.

You wrote so much that I find it hard to address all your concerns. However, here are some thoughts:
1) I'd configure the Time Capsule as the "main" router, connected directly to your cable modem. Configure it to "create a wireless network" and to "Allow this network to be extended". Configure the other devices to "Extend a wireless network".
2) Put any device that's extending the network half way between the main router and the wireless clients. If the signal from the main router is weak at the cllient's location, then the extending device will also receive a weak signal.

How to setup the WRT350N to use a USB NTFS Drive for backup storage?

My network consists of a WRT350N Router/AP/NAS (with a 500GB NTFS formatted USB drive), a Windows Vista Ultimate Desktop (wired connection), a Windows Pro SP2 Desktop (wired connection) and a Windows Pro SP2 Laptop (wireless connection).
Does anyone know what settings to use for the WRT350N and how to setup each of the computers to allow me to use the WRT350N for Backup file Storage?
For example: Can I/should I enable and use the ftp server functions? Can I just use the guest user account for all logins; etc.? Do I have to reformat the USB Drive to FAT32?
Any help would be appreciated!

Here is the clue to your question.
1.If you have formatted your Disk with the help of your computer it will be better if you reformat it with the "Erase" button
available on the Storage Tab of the Linksys
router's Setup page.
2.After that You need to make sure that you have
public IP address as your WAN IP on the status of the router to setup a FTP server.
3.You can use guest account for all your users but
please make sure that you select guest as group
while creating user.
