I think that my cable modem is OEMist

hi,
i just mooved  into my new house, and i got a new cable  modem, i have 2 computers, a dell laptop, and a  hp  pavillion,  both were on my network in my apartment, using the same router and same rc.conf, but the probalem  is now,  my laptop will conect,  but  my desktop  won't,
my laptop has  d-link pcmcia nic using  pcnet-cs  and my desktop uses 8139too,  as  there respective modules.
i am at a loss of what to do,  i have tried to connecting them both directly to the modem, same results as when connected to the router.
any help would  be great

If your have had your iPod for under a year then it is covered by apple's 1 year limited warranty and you should be able to send it in for repair. Also this forum is for second generation iPods and they don't make 1 gig second generation iPods. So for further questions you may want to go to the 1st generation forum.

  • For the new airport extreme what type of cable do I need to connect to my cable modem. Is Cat5 OK or will that bottle neck things?

    For the new airport extreme what type of cable do I need to connect to my cable modem. Is Cat5 OK or will that bottle neck things?

    Assuming that your cable modem has Gigabit Ethernet ports (possible, but it probably does not) Cat 5e or Cct 6 would do the job that you need.
    If the cable modem is using a 10/100 Mbps port, then Cat5 will be OK.

    Sadly I do not have a TV Tuner Card. I run Windows Vista Home Premium (x64). It is also a custom computer I built. But based on the replies it's suggesting I need one? That a simple USB connection between the two will not be sufficient?
    I dont think that your cable box can stream contents thru its USB ports, that wont work. Also check your video card s-video plug, most likely it's video out only (for TV monitor). You need some kind of input device for your pc to be able to connect it to your cable box, either a TV tuner card, a capture card (usb or pci card) etc.

  • SOLVED: Dropped connections with Time Capsule and cable modem/router

    I've been dealing with random dropped connections for quite a while and I thought that it would be useful to share what I've found.
    I was having a very puzzling problem where my internet connection would drop randomly on wireless devices. On my laptop, webpages would suddenly become unresponsive for a minute or two, Mail would have connection problems and complain, etc...but incredibly randomly and definitely not repeatable or in any pattern that I noticed.
    I also have 2 Nest thermostats in the house which connect via wi-fi. I noticed that they would randomly show Offline very often when viewed from a webpage or iPhone app, but the Nest front panels showed that they were connected with a strong signal.
    As I said, the dropped connections were very sporadic. Most of the time, everything worked, but every once in a while...bam.
    I worked with the level 3 tech support guys at Nest for over a week to figure out what was going on. We went through settings on my router and Time Capsule and everything seemed proper and okay. I even replaced the Nests with new ones but still had the same problem. We were all completely stumped.
    Yesterday, my laptop dropped it's connection at the same time my wife's laptop dropped hers. At this point, I wondered if something was wrong with the Time Capsule or maybe my internet provider.
    I called AppleCare to see if they could help with debugging the problem. They passed me up to a senior wi-fi tech and he asked me many questions about the configuration of my network. My home network looked like this yesterday (see crappy diagram below)
                                                         Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                           Netgear multiport switch
                                                          |          |         |         |          |
                                                         hardwired Macs,            TimeCapsule (bridge mode)
                                                         laser printers,                   |   |   |   |   |
                                                          Apple TVs                       laptops, Nest, iphones
    This configuration seemed correct to me. The Time Capsule in bridge mode would mean that the cable modem/router would be handling DHCP so all the devices would be on the same network and I could print from a laptop to one of my printers and the laptops could connect to the hardwired Macs, etc..
    The AppleCare technician said he thought that bridge mode was the problem. He mentioned that there was a known issue that in this configuration, the IP addresses could get lost between the cable modem/router and the Time Capsule. He said it would be best if the Time Capsule was in DHCP/NAT mode and the first device before the switch, this way the Time Capsule was the only device passing out IP addresses.
    So I repatched my network like this:
                                                       Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                       TimeCapsule (DHCP/NAT mode)
                                                                |                                       |   |   |   |   |
                                        Netgear multipart switch                      laptops, Nest, iphones
                                             |         |         |        |
                                               hardwired Macs,           
                                                 laser printers,                 
                                                   Apple TVs                     
    I can tell you that in the past 24 hours, I haven't seen anything lose a connection. Not even the Nests which seemed be on and off all the time. And, in this configuration, all the devices are on the same network and able to speak to each other.
    I hope that helps someone.

    So you're saying that Bridge Mode not functioning properly is a well known issue?
    Not to me.. I have not had issues with the TC in bridge. And it is my prefered setup. I think it is better as a wireless AP and network hard disk than a router any day of the week.. but there are other ways to skin the cat if it is proving unreliable. I am at the moment using a wireless bridge from the Gen4 TC to a Gen4 AE upstairs for TV internet streaming.. it started off very reliable.. but of late I guess I need to reboot it every few days. And it has required a full reset two or three times.. although I probably need to take some of the blame for those. I am not over worried.. i do not believe in wireless bridges except for the most interim of arrangements.. it will be wired in ethernet ASAP.
    Wireless should always be used in a way that respects its status as voodoo.. not stable technology. NOT SCIENCE.. it is more a bag of beads and rattles.
    Is there a way to change the cable modem/router to avoid the double NAT problem?
    The answer to this may depend on your ISP. Did they provide the modem? If so they may lock it down so you have no control. But normally a Motorola cable modem will not have a bridge mode as such but will have a method of turning off NAT.. (and wireless).. this amounts to the same thing.
    Once you turn off NAT.. you need to power cycle the modem so the TC gets the public IP in router mode. The power cycle time might be 5min or 20min or overnight.. it again depends on your ISP.. but you need to stop the modem capturing the public IP so it can be passed to the modem.
    Depending on where you are in the world.. US is most concentration of cable network.. you can go out and buy your own modem. Pick one on your ISP list and steer clear of SB.. at least with the apple routers they are problematic.
    It also can be a case that the cable modem is SB model and therefore more problematic. Sorry I have forgotten the recommendation for what to buy. There are a number of posts here about it but search is terrible now. (or I am too old to figure it out). I will get Bob to poke his nose in and tell you what works for him.

  • How do I use AE to allow more than one device with my cable modem?

    I connected by AE to my cable modem at my house in Japan and it works fine on "bridge mode," but only for one device at a time (this laptop, but not my iPod Touch, or vice versa). As soon as I connect a new device, it will kick the other one off. It seems that my cable modem here will only allow one device. Is there a way that I can use my Airport Extreme to allow more than one device and not have to pay the Internet provider extra for multiple IP addresses? How do I go about this? Do I select "share a public IP address" or do I select "distribute a range of IP addresses?" I tried these options but obviously wasn't doing it correctly, because then I lost the connection for everything... Thanks!

    It would be best if you "hard reset" the Airport Extreme to clear out the old and conflicting settings and then reconfigure it again.
    Hold in the reset button until you see the amber light begin to blink more quickly. Keep holding for another 3-4 seconds when you see this and then release the reset button. That will get the Extreme back to the original starting point.
    After you have powered the modem back up after the full reset, you will need to reconfigure the AirPort Extreme again. If you are using he guided setup in AirPort Utility, you will choose the option to "create a wireless network" during the setup.
    If you are using the Manual Setup, the Wireless Mode will be "Create a wireless network" and the setting for Connection Sharing would be "Share a public IP address". Adjusting the Connection Sharing setting would be the last thing that you do before you click Update to save settings.
    Here, I am assuming that you have a simple cable modem (it will have only one ethernet port), correct?

  • Suggestions for Cable Modem and Wireless Router

    Hey everyone!
    I have the new iMac and would like to have a faster wireless router. Currently using an old D-Link Wireless G router and would like something like the Time Capsule (as it has Airport Extreme in it) or Netgear Rangemax Dual Band Wirless-N Gigabit Router. My problem is, my Internet is through my cable company, so it comes into the house as a cable connection. It appears that these two combos would still require the use of a cable modem.
    Any suggestions to keep the equipment down to one piece? If not, any suggestions for a cable modem so I can return this old one to the cable company?
    What would be the best/quickest wireless router?
    Thanks for your help!

    Go to your ISP's web site and do a search from your ISP for compatible cable modems. Then buy the capable modem your ISP says that is comp[atible. On the new cable modem find the Serial number & MAC address, make then call your ISP tech help desk and tell them the new modem you got and he/she will ask you that information. When the ISP tech says they can see/ping that new cable modem then it will work. Then connect a new cheaper Airport Extreme and any external USB2 hard drive to connect to that new Airport Extreme. I say this because Apple put out and Update a little while ago that will allow an external connected to an Extreme as a Time Machine disk.
    PS: Remember the old trick of checking you Ethernet cables. I can't count how times I have seen professionals install all new high speed switches, routers, etc. and wonder why no speed is seen. Then after numerous trouble shooting they discover they used the old 10 Base T cables and just changing the cable solved their problem.
    Just make sure you do this one at a time starting with getting the ISP compatible cable modems list to know what cable modem you can buy (to save that monthly ISP rental fee). Then you can get the going as long as so speak with your ISP tech to give them that new cable modem Serial number and MAC address so they can register it with their servers.
    This will be to easy as long as you do things in step.

  • Cable modem advice

    Hello all
    I am trying to chase down a consistent problem. My download speed degrades after a short while (this seems to be getting worse, a matter of hours rather than days). If I reboot the cable modem, the speed immediately is back to full speed. This definitely seems to be an issue with my equipment rather than the ISP or time of day. Normal good speed is around 4500 but drops to 700-900. Upload speeds remain consistent at 400+.
    Here is the setup:
    2002 Quicksilver G4 Dual 1G
    OSX 10.3.8
    Terayon TJ715X cable modem
    Linksys BEFSR41 Ethernet Cable/DSL Router
    Adelphia HSI
    only this computer connected
    System Network Preferences set to Built-in Ethernet / Using DHCP and Configure IPv6 is set to Automatic
    The computer is almost 4 years old and the cable modem and router are about 2 years old
    Two questions:
    1. Any thoughts or advice on what I should check to trouble shoot the problem? I have tried different cables, etc. Rebooting the computer makes no difference, but rebooting the modem does. I believe I have tried different ports on the router with no change. Modem and computer only have one ethernet port each.
    2. It has been suggested that the cable modem is dying. If so, can anyone recommend a good one?
    Thanks,
    John

    Hey Charlie
    Thanks for the great post.
    You might be able to check the diagnostics page for your modem and see if there's a problem. This page lists the values you should see for Adelphia.
    I just checked and the numbers look okay.
    But if it originally took days for the speed to degrade, and now it's just hours, it sounds to me like it could be the cable modem going bad. Just to make sure it's not the router, I'd suggest connecting the computer straight to the cable modem and see if you get the same degradation in speed.
    That's next on my list :').
    As for a replacement cable modem, I got a Motorola SB5120 in August to replace an older Motorola SB3100. If you look around, you might be able to find some good rebates. This page lists other modems they support.
    I'll check it out.
    However, I'd also suggest you look at either Comcast or Time Warner, since Adelphia is selling off more or less all of their assets to one or the other of these companies. So, if you already know who's taking over your system, you'd want to see what modems they support as well.
    Yeah, I've been anticipating (welcoming/dreading?) that.
    Thanks again Charlie, just the stuff I was looking for.

  • Airport Extreme Cannot see Live Internet Connection from Cable Modem

    Hi,
    When I run a cable directly from my cable modem to my MacBook everything works fine. In fact, that is how I am connected to the Internet right now.
    However, when I run the same cable into my Airport Extreme (AE) and then connect my MacBook to the AE (wired or wireless), the AE reports a problem connecting to the Internet. This is a new situation as everything has been working fine for months. I have changed nothing in this set-up for it to stop working.
    I can only assume the at the AE is broken: the Internet connection is live, it was working fine for months and then stopped working. Is there anything I should try before I throw the AE in the garbage?
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the discussions!
    It appears as if you may not be aware that cable modems must be completely reset whenever the device that they are connected to changes. The reason for this is that the cable modem "remembers" the device that it has been connected to. In your case, it's "remembering" your computer and looking for it when you plug it in to the AirPort Extreme.
    You need to make your modem "forget" your computer. Here's how:
    o Push the reset button on the modem if there is one on your modem
    o Power the modem down immediately after you push the reset button
    o Pull the battery in the modem if it's easily accessible
    o Leave the modem powered down at least 20-30 minutes (Some ISPs take longer)
    Power down the rest of your network as well.
    After the power down period, start the modem first and let it run 3-4 minutes by itself
    Then start the Airport Extreme (you may need to "hard reset" the device again to start over on the configuration) and let it run a few moments
    Then start your computers one at a time
    Please post back on your progress. Remember, if you need to connect your computer directly to the modem again, you must reset the modem again because it will "remember" the AirPort Extreme if you have reset it correctly.

  • Why am I getting 2 IP addresses from the cable modem?

    I recently renewed my IP address for my cable modem (by booting into Windows and doing the ipconfig thing). It did this successfully and assigned me a new static IP.
    However back in OS X I am now getting two IP addresses depending on whether I connect by ethernet or Airport. When I connect my MacBook straight to the cable modem by ethernet it gives me the new IP address. However when I connect the Airport Extreme Base Station to the cable modem and do all the relevant restarting, it insists I still have the old IP address. This can't be right. Is it an errant preference hanging about in the Base Station? I have tried restoring it to default and setting up from scratch but it persists.
    I know the difference between public and distributed addresses... the two I'm talking about are the public kind (e.g. 82.114.223.43 etc)

    What do you mean by "old" and "new" IP addresses? What TYPE of IP addresses are you talking about? Specific numbers for example?
    In general, the typical cable modem set up should work as follows: your ISP will assign an IP address to your cable modem. This IP address can be permanently fixed (static) or occasionally change (dynamic) - whether you get a static or dynamic IP address depends on your ISP. This IP address is considered your "public" IP address.
    What you plug in directly after the cable modem will take on this IP address, since the cable modem merely passes on the IP address info (and serves no routing functions). So, if you plug in your MacBook directly to the modem, your MacBook will take on the IP address that your cable modem passes through, as assigned by your ISP; only your MacBook will have internet access.
    On the other hand, if you plug in to the modem a router, such as Airport Extreme Base Station, the router will be assigned the "public" IP address received from the cable modem on its WAN (wide area network) side, i.e. the "side" that interfaces with the public Internet. When your router is set up to SHARE this one public IP address with multiple computers/clients, it has to create a private sub-network, otherwise known as the LAN (local area network). Whether you plug computers in via ethernet to the router, or connect wirelessly to the router (or even both!), your router will create IP addresses for each of its LAN clients so that it can identify everyone. As long as the client has a different hardware MAC address, the router will assign it an unique IP address. (That's why you had 2 IP addresses for your MacBook - one for the ethernet connection, and the other for the Airport connection - each network interface having a different MAC address, and thus receiving a different IP address from the router.)
    Your router will always maintain its WAN IP address, as long as your ISP gives you that IP address (via your cable modem). However your MacBook, Windows and other clients may be assigned different LAN IP addresses depending on how you configured your router's DHCP server settings. The LAN clients in the context of your subnet would NOT be assigned the router's public WAN IP address when the router is set up to share that connection.
    If you understand the whole WAN v. LAN IP addressing thing, but you're not getting the results you expect, try powering off EVERY single piece of equipment on your network. Wait several minutes so that everything is cleared from the equipments' memory. Then power on and wait until the equipment is in ready state, in this sequence: 1-cable modem..., 2-main router (AEBS)..., 3-remote bases/bridges (if any)..., 4-computers and other client devices.

  • Mac causes cable modem to reboot/reset

    I have a MacBook connected to a D-Link DGL-4500 router via 5GHz 802.11n. The DGL-4500 is connected to my Ambit cable modem (Roadrunner is my ISP.) I have various other devices hanging off of the router, including an Airport Express (for Airtunes streaming.)
    Whenever my MacBook connects to the router, or otherwise gets a new DHCP address, it causes my cable modem to reboot/reset, which knocks down my Internet connection until the modem comes back up. This happens every time I wake the MacBook from sleep. It also happens if I switch from wireless to wired ethernet, and it also happens if I take the router out of the picture and connect the MacBook directly to the cable modem.
    None of the other devices on the network cause this to happen.
    Any suggestions on where to look to try to figure out what it is about the MacBook that my cable modem doesn't like?

    You should complain to your cable company; nothing a network device can do should affect the cable modem like that, and I'm not sure what has to be done to update the firmware on a cable modem (it's likely pushed from the cable company side.)
    The cable company may also be able to provide you with an alternate brand of cable modem.

  • How do I add an airport extreme to a cable modem with only one ethernet port, while keeping that port connected to my Mac?

    I have a mac pro connected by ethernet to a cable modem via ethernet.    There is only one ethernet port on the modem.   
    I want to keep the Mac connected via ethernet for speed.    Is there a way that I can add an airport extreme to this set up - for my ipad and roku, and for guests to use - or do I need to buy a router to put between the modem and the mac?
    If I need a router, what kind?
    Thanks.

    The modem connects to the WAN "O" port on an AirPort Extreme router.
    The Mac Pro connects to one of the three LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme router.
    Or if you do not need the ability to connect a hard drive to the USB port on the router, you can save a bit by using an AirPort Express.
    The modem connects to the WAN "O" port, the Mac Pro connects to the LAN <-> port
    Either the AirPort Extreme router or AirPort Express router will allow up to 50 wireless device to connect.
    There are many other wireless modems offered by other manufacturers as well.

  • I have airport extreme 802.11AC as a base that connect to Cable modem. How can I connect D-link DIR-655 to AE to utilize as an extender or repeat?

    Hello-
    I have wireless router Airport Extreme 802.11AC that connect direct to Cable modem...how can I setup the D-Link DIR-655 wireless router to AE and act as extender or repeater?. Thanks in advance.

    Apple has done their best to install proprietary software in their wireless routers that is designed to only allow other Apple routers to repeat or extend the network wirelessly.
    So, the chances are extremely small that a D-Link....or another other router for that matter.....could be configured to do what you ask.
    There are no settings on an AirPort Extreme that would allow a D-Link device to extend the network, so all that you can do is experiment with different settings on the D-Link device to see if it might be possible for it to extend the network.
    A post on a D-Link support forum might be a good idea to see if any D-Link specialists have some ideas on this topic.
    Good luck.

  • Trying to hook up my time capsule.  Plugged in the eithnet from the extreme over to the time capsule--then plugged in the time capsule--still in amber blinking light--went back to extreme and works fine--reset the cable modem in between but that did not f

    Hoping someone can help with setting up my new time capsule.  I am just switching from my extreme to the time capsule.  I can not get the time capsule to go anywhere but to amber blinkiing.  I can go back to the extreme and interenet works fine.
    Here is what I did:
    plugged in the ethernet cable from the cable modem
    plugged in the time capsule power
    Just cycles to amber blinking -- no internet connection
    Tried pulling up the airport utility but it just shows my old extreme configuration and says that it is not supported anymore.  Do not see how to display info on the flashing light.
    I have gone back to the extreme three times and it seems to work fine.
    I also repowered the modem in between trying to get the time capsule to work

    Is this a cable modem? It has to be off for at least 20min and sometimes much longer before it will give up the old settings. You might even need to power down the cable modem overnight.
    Tell us exactly what broadband you have with what ISP and exact model of modem..
    The new TC cannot be setup without using the latest airport utility 6.3.1 or 6.3.2 and you need Lion - Mavericks to use it.
    The computer also needs to have ipv6 setup to local link on whatever you are connecting with, wireless or ethernet.

  • Is it possible to run AirTunes without a cable modem or any of that stuff?

    Hi all,
    I have an airport express base station and an airport extreme card in my machine (Powerbook G4). I got the base station as a gift, and all I want to do with it is play AirTunes. I don't want to print from the hallway or download anything from anywhere on earth. In fact, I don't even have DSL or a cable modem or anything like that. I still use dial-up because I don't spend much time on the Internet.
    Anyway, I've had no luck getting this stuff to work. All I get is the flashing amber light. My stereo is plugged into the base station, and my base station is plugged in. But the base station just keeps flashing amber, and needless to say, nothing is working.
    So...what the @%$* do I have to do to get this thing to play some music? Do I have to have more plugged into the base station than just the stereo? I know these are probably dumb questions, but hey, I read all the documentation that came with the base station, and I still have no clue (BTW, note to Apple: hire some people who know how to write real-world documentation that actually explains how and why this stuff works and what to do when things go wrong).
    ANY help would be appreciated, and by all means, please do explain it to me like I'm a six year old. I've been using Macs all my life, but this stuff is just getting to be a little more than "take it out of the box, plug it in, and watch it work."
    Thanks,

    Although you don't need an Internet or network connection to stream iTunes to your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) wirelessly, it will continue to flash amber, by design, because you don't.
    To set up AirTunes on the AX, temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, use the AirPort Admin Utility to check these settings:
    Music tab
    - Enable AirTunes on this base station (checked)
    - Enable AirTunes over the Ethernet port (optional)
    - iTunes Speaker Name: <whatever you wish>
    - iTunes Speaker Password (optional)
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    - Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
