IMac C2D, AE, SPA3102, Open Networks Modem & Topfield TF6000pvrt

Hi All,
Am hoping someone can assist me as I have run out of brothers-in-law who have more wireless & Mac expertise than myself !!!!!!
Have the following hardware set-up:
Mac Core 2 Duo
which is connected by built-in Airport Express card to:
Airport Express Base Station
which is connected by Ethernet to:
Linksys SPA3102 VOIP Analogue Telephony Adapter
which is connected by Ethernet to:
Open Networks iConnectAccess 634 ADSL2/2+ Modem
which connects to ADSL1+ at 7.5Mbps download with 640K upload
Have followed the TF6000 manual - and have finally got it all appearing to be correctly connecting - namely - WLAN Status page shows:
SSID:[my wireless network name]
Network Type: Infrastructure
Channel: [varies but normally 6 or 7]
IP Address: [looks okay - is on same range as Airport Express]
TX Rate: 54Mbps
Security WEP
Quality: 99-100%
Level: 60+%
Despite this - I am unable to:
a) access IP address of the 6000 through Firefox web browser;
b) access IP address of the 6000 using FTP program;
c) access ICETV Net Loader (latest version) on internet enters endless loop - saying needs to connect to ICETV server
Any assistance at this point would be greatly appreciated...
Thanking you in advance,
The Noobie - K-Man
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Problem resolved by getting rid of AE - appears it is not supported by Topfield unit

How to connect my iMac G4 to my network, it wont let me something about the password but I connect to a open network???Ask your question.

Hello I have been trying to connect my iMac G4 to my network but I can't. I have a secure network with a password and is not let me in but I can connect to an open network with no password??? anybody can help???

AirPort card in iMac G4 does not support strong WiFi encryption.
I think WPA is the maximum for that WiFi card.
If you have WPA2 in your WiFi network, you need to downgrade (not recommended)or wired connect the iMac G4.

TS1317 I can't connect to my network, but can to an open network in the community. I think it's the password, I've forgotten it. How do I set a new password?

My ISP has just installed a new modem with an ethernet connection, which I have plugged into my Airport Express. I'm able to connect to an open network in the neighborhood but not to my own network that I had set up before. I have done some troubleshooting, the modem is working when connected to my computer. It may just be the password, it's not accepting the password that I thought I had used to set up the Airport Express when I first bought it. Should I be using the same password as in my Accounts on my Mac's System Preferences?

... Would the network password be the same as my Mac's password?
It can be if you configured it that way, but since that is apparently not working for you it's probably not the same. You can reconfigure the Express easily enough using AirPort Utility - it is in your Utilities folder, which is found within your Applications folder.
Launch AirPort utility, then reset the Express:
To reset your Express:
Press and hold the reset button with a pen or pencil for 1 full second. The light (LED) will flash amber, indicating that the AirPort Express is in soft reset mode.
This will enable you to use AirPort Utility to reset your network password.
Note: If you do not make your changes within five minutes of pressing the reset button, AirPort Express will return to its previous configuration. The light will change back to solid green (or whatever state it was in before the reset).
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ

Imac sees no wi-fi networks. Other computers do! Some input needed!! Thanx!

Hi people.
I just got a intel imac 20inch with an airport extreme card. A few weeks ago i tried looking for networks.
At home i found 8 wi-fi networks in my area with help of a windows laptop. My mac...detected nothing.
I went back to the shop (a shop with apple certified people) to let them check it.
Their conclusion was that my card was functioning correctly.
The receipt stated that they streamed a movie through airport and that there was no noticable delay.
Their airport base station was located a few floors above their technical dept.
I got my mac back and i went straight to home. Same problem. No networks whatsoever...
Then i went to my friends house. He's got a old dell with a sitecom wlan card.
He can find 4-5 networks in his area. My mac can only find his network. I use Istumbler + Spectrum Widget and the strenght is 50% on a distance of 1,5m (5feet) to his router!
How is this possible?
I know that to access another network you need some data. But to detect a network with it's SSID on you just have to turn airport on to see it. Right?
I reinstalled osx and i am doing a software update right now. To 10.4.7.
Maybe that helps but i doubt it.
Can anyone shed some light?
Should i go directly to apple and have them look?
Thanx!!!
Intel Imac dual 2,0 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.4)

The software update is done. No improvement.
I saw another post with an answer from duane wich made me think that the antenna of my airport extreme card is not inserted properly.
Unfortunately the new imac's are not opened easy.
I hope that's it. After all.....they did not open my mac. Sigh.
I'm gonna call apple care.

Mystery open network

I'm using an airport extreme as an access point with two windows computers. I set up only one network and made it secure. But windows is listing a second network, which is not secured, called Apple Network x2c986 (characters changed for security purposes). This open network is not listed in the airport utility. I'd like to know what it is and how to secure it.
My network is physically configured like this:
cable modem <-> apple airport extreme (ethernet).
AAE <-> WinXP laptop (ethernet)
AAE <->WinXP laptop <-> Windows 7 laptop (wireless)
The secure network has wpa2-personal security, aes encryption and a security key. The Apple network has none of these. I can apply wpa2-personal security, aes encryption and the security key in the Windows securitiy properties window, but what am I securing and can doing so mess up my network?
Thanks for any help.
Ellen

But windows is listing a second network, which is not secured, called Apple Network x2c986
This is one of two things:
1) Another user near you has an Apple device that they have not set up yet. Normally, you would "see" the device in AirPort Utility if you connect to the network. Is that the case? Can you connect to this network? If yes, best to leave well enough alone. Someone is foolish enough to leave their network open and use default names for their network.
2) Apple routers use the Apple Network xxxxxx network name to set up the device using wireless. This might have been your AirPort device and the computer is "remembering" the old previous connection. If you try to connect to the this network, but nothing happens, then this is the default network that your device produced before you configured it.

Why must I force quit (double press home and slide off) Mail on both my iPad and iPhone in order to have Mail access on my iMac on the same wifi network. Fetch is set to manual and my ISP is Charter.

Why must I force quit (double press home and slide off) Mail on both my iPad and iPhone in order to have Mail access on my iMac on the same wifi network. Fetch is set to manual and my ISP is Charter.

I don't know about the "3" but it's a POP account. I've always suspected that Charter isn't letting go using their mobile apps for iOS. Puzzling that it doesn't block the other way. That is if Mail is open on the iMac it doesn't block access to Mail on either the iPad or iPhone. I'm guessing it's their mobile apps that are the problem but they won't admit it to me.

Loosing Internet (only) connectivity on an iMac C2D through ethernet

Hello there,
I've just got a iMac C2D 20" and it's connected to the network in the office through an SMC Gigabit Switch... Every computer has internet and so the iMac, but randomly every day at least once, it loses the internet (just the internet) meanwhile the internet is up and others are on it)...
I can ping other stations, and do local stuff on the network, but not with internet... and it only solves when I reboot...
Does anybody have a hint on this?
Best regards,
Cy

I am still having that problem. I called Applecare and the guy told me to Install an antivirus... I am serious... So he just recommended me that or to format the Hard Disk.
I thought that was just at the windows world

I have working Netgear network. Want to add new Time Capsule and run 2nd network for new apple TV and Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC and Canon printer.

I have working Netgear N600 dual band router network. The existing network has an XP netbook PC, canon printer, 2 Iphones, Epson Air printer, an Ipad, 3 roku boxes, backup drive. Just bought a new Apple TV box, and time capsule 2T. I have an IMac on order but don't have it here yet.
My goal is to add new Time Capsule and create 2nd "apple" network for new apple TV, Iphones, Ipad, Epson Air printer and new Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC, Roku TV boxes, and Canon printer and backup drive.
The Netgear router, the time capsule and new IMac will be on the same desktop, I dont need to backup my netbook PC to time capsule.
Where do I start?
Which device connects to my modem first, the TC2 or the Netgear?
Is it best wait for the Imac before starting or can the TC2 be set up from my Ipad or PC?
Thanks.

It is pretty simple..
Setup the TC in bridge and plug it into the Netgear.. I would leave the netgear as the main router for now, although in the future you can swap things around. The netgear firmware may have issues with bonjour and airplay/airprint?? Does your ipad print ok now?
You can setup the TC using Mac, PC (at least up to win7) or iOS.. they all have airport utility available.
Bridge mode is set differently depending on the version of the utility. This is v5 and how the windows one will look (at least similar to).
v6 will be as
With the TC in bridge you will still create a wireless network.. and give it a different name from the netgear.. then all the apple devices can connect to it. Use ethernet rather than wireless if the imac is on the desktop with it. Much faster and better for using Time Machine backups.
If you run into any issues.. just post the particular issue. It will take a bit of getting used to, but isn't hard.

I can't decide between the 20" and 24" iMac C2D

Hey all...
I am in the process of selling my Power Mac G5 Dual 1.8GHz with 2GB of RAM as I want to move to an iMac C2D. I keep flip flopping between the 20" and 24". The only upgrade I would get for either would be bumping the memory to 2GB. The price delta between the two is $500. That additional $500 buys me a larger screen, better video and better speakers. I am also leveraging my daughter's educational discount.
I don't use my Mac for business. I use it for email, web browsing and research. In addition, I am a heavy iLife user, except for Garage Band. I use iTunes and iPhoto a lot. I also import movies into iMovie and iDVD. It will be used every day after work for about 3 hours and a lot on the weekends.
My Power Mac is running fine and has served me well for the last two years. I figured I'd sell it while I can still get some decent money for it (my eBay auction ends tonight!).
I just really want an iMac. There is something to be said for using a Mac with an Apple display. My G5 was connected to a Dell 2005FPW 20" widescreen. I also have two AMD based machines running Windows/Linx connected to my new Dell 2407WFP 24" widescreen and it is almost too big! Those are used for gaming, development, virtual machines, etc.
Is the 24" overkill? I don't know. It looked beautiful last night in the Apple Store.
Thoughts. Comments? Suggestions?

Hi there. I recieved mu 24" imac on Thursday this week having sent back my 20" as soon as the 24" came out. It was the best decision i ever made. I do alot of photo retouching and editing as I am a photographer and have only just started playing with the computer. The screen makes a massive difference, not only for photo's but for all other things, it enables you to keep windows open at a good viewing size and see them all on screen at the same time.
I know its a difficult decision as had to convince my girlfriend that it was worth the extra cost, but i am so glad to have done it.
The 20" was lovely and a fantastic size, the extra 4" is a worthy investment.
I was worried it was overkill also, but after using it today fully for the first time i could not imagine having a smaller screen.
Hope this helps, using Photoshop and Aperture means i really appriciate the extra space, but when i browse the web the pages do tend to look a little lost!! ;o)

Yet another iPhone WiFi thread - cannot connect to some OPEN networks

I make no apologies in starting another thread about iPhone WiFi connectivity. Judging by the number of references to WiFi issues in this forum, as well as on the Internet generally, this is a big issue with many users and yet there seems very little acknowledgement by Apple that there is problem.
In my case I have a first generation iPhone which works well on most WiFi networks, both open and closed, including my secured network at home, but cannot connect properly with some open networks. I have had this problem while using 1.0, 2.0 and 2.1 firmware.
Sometimes I get the "Cannot Connect ..." message and sometimes I am able to connect and obtain a good signal and see an IP Address and a Subnet mask, but no Router or DNS address.
I'll repeat that I talking about open networks, so there is no password issue. In one local cafe, I am unable to connect to a network that I used to be able to connect to routinely. I have talked to the owner, who is another Mac and iPhone user and he assures me that he has not changed any router settings.
Can anyone offer any suggestions beyond the usual re-setting and re-booting options? Is there something about iPhone MAC addresses or the WiFi signal that certain routers don't like?
Simon

This is not a solution to your problems but:
1- Expecting someone from Apple to respond here is a vain hope. This is a discussion forum for users and you can only expect responses from users. Talk to Apple tech support if you want a response from them.
2- I saw an item on an iPhone blog page somewhere yesterday saying that Apple was now replacing iPhones with this issue if you took it to an Apple store. Don't know if it's true but it also had a workaround that you could use for your own home network if you were having problems—and I am—and that workaround basically worked for me.
I turned wi-fi off on the phone and opened Airport Utility on my iMac. I turned wi-fi security OFF and then tried to connect. I actually got a connection straight away, and I noted down the IP addresses and subnet mask data from the DHCP screen in the iPhone's wi-fi network info screen. I then restored wi-fi security on my iMac. Of course that restarts the router and I lost my connection and when it started up again, the IP addresses had changed but the subnet mask had not. I swapped to the Static screen instead of the DHCP screen and edited all 3 IP addresses. That got me my connection back and it has continued to work throughout today. That's the best result I've had so far.
It seems to me that my iPhone has problems picking up the network data from my home network and I don't know why that is. I was at a friend's last night and tried to connect to his system and it connected straight away. I assume there's something about my settings which is problematic but I don't know what it is but at least now I have a workaround.
It's possible that something similar is going on for you with the public networks you're having problems with but, unfortunately, the workaround I tried won't work for you in a public network so that's probably not much help.
You could try taking your phone to an Apple Store and seeing if they exchange it. The blog I read suggested the magic words were "hardware problem". In my case I don't think it's a hardware problem but it may be in yours.

IMac connects to Airport wireless network but not internet

Hi, I'm trying to set up my sister's iMac (education version) and haven't been able to get it to connect to the internet via the Airport Base Station. If it makes a difference, the ABS is an older model from about 4-5 years ago, I think. (Not extreme.)
The ABS is able to successfully dial-up and connect to her ISP.
The iMac displays the connect time, and the Internet Connect application shows for the AirPort Status that the iMac is connected to the network and that it is "Connected to the Internet via the Modem..." (followed the by the connection time.) However, the iMac still won't connect to the internet.
The wireless network seems to work okay. I'm able to access the iMac via my PowerBook and share files.
My PowerBook is able to connect to the internet wirelessly via the same active ISP dial-up connection via the ABS.
I tried duplicating the same network information from the PowerBook, but that still didn't work. As far as I can tell, the settings in the PowerBook are the same as in the iMac.
I'm tapped out of ideas right now. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Finally got it to work.
In Airport Admin Utility --> Configure -->Access Control there were two Airport ID's listed there. I didn't add them, and I don't know where they came from, so I deleted them to see what would happen. After the base station restarted I connected to the ISP, and the iMac has been able to connect to the web ever since.

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

How to connect a "Clear Network" Modem to my Airport Xtreme?

Hello friends. I recently purchased the clear network modem. I need to know how to connect it to my Airport Extreme and get my local network at home working with 4 computers. Thank you!

Except that I don't know much about the Extreme, it should be simple.
Power down the computers, the Extreme, & the Clear Modem, wait 5 minutes, connect an Ethernet cable, (it is one with Ethernet right?), from the Clear Modem to the WAN port of the Extreme, power up the Modem, wait 3 minutes & power up the Extreme, wait 2 minutes & power up the Mac(s).
Windows directions, but basically the same to setup the Extreme to hand out IPs...
