What is needed to network 2 computers using Airport card

I know I need an airport card in my eMac, but is there any other cards that have to be in the computer? I want to network my eMac with an iMac using a DSL line. The eMac will be downstairs and the iMac will be upstairs. I'm waiting for delivery from Apple of the iMac. It has everything built in that is needed to network but my eMac doesn't. To make my eMac wireless is all I have to buy is an Airport Card and a Wireless Gateway for the iMac which is the computer connected to the DSL modem and Wireless USB adapter with connects to the eMac? What type of Airport Card do I need to buy for my eMac (model #'s etc.) It is the card that inserts above the super drive in the front of the computer. Is there any software that is needed to install Airport?

I am also doing some configuration changes (we have one Imac and two eMac's)
but one eMac does not have a airport card and is hardwired (ethernet) to the high speed cable modem then a apple airport. One Imac and the Emac with a airport card work fine, it is a bit tricky finding the correct airport card (or airport extreme card if you have a ATI graphics card (use about the mac/system profiler then click on more to see if you have a graphics card (which affects which airport card you need, there are alot of resellers on the net so you should find what you want.
If in doubt there is a free program mactracker which provides data on every mac made (available off off versiontracker.com (free site just register) it will guide
you on the type of card needed. I was quite amazed at the amount of different spec eMac's made in their relativealy short history.
Macwireless.com does sell eMac cards (for two models) but also antenna type
or flash drive appearing USB based wireless connectors that may help.
I found the mactracker program helpful (alot) as alot of web sites provide some vague info and I would hate to se you get stuck with a non returnable card.
The actual card install does not look hard (its done through the cd rom drive door.
I am not sure why we did not get a airport card for ours when we bought it.
Wish I did as it would have saved some $ (maybe) and surf time making sure I find the right one.
We did have a antenna wireless antenna for a "green" Imac (long gone) and it ran on OS9 but it was finicky when we had the airport base station upstairs
and the Imac and antenna in the basement (about 50-75 feet)
Best of luck
Hope this helps, I am not a expert, the serial number on the cd drawer will
nail down the model you have and what you need.
We have been working adding a laser printer and airport express and the two macs with cards work fine but the Emac with no card can not be set up yet. The laser printer will sure save on ink!

Do i need a network card to install and run a local java web server

Friends,
Do i need a network card in my computer to install and run a local Java Web Server or any Web Server.

network cards are only for connecting equipment together... you can set up a webserver without any more equipment than you have already! Indeed Tomcat... BUT you would be better off with apache for production stuff. It depends what you need to serve... if its mainly static pages (i guess it probably isn't) then apache will be enough by itself; but if you need to serve dynamic pages (JSP, Servlet blah blah) then you will need tomcat. Tomcat has it's own webserver and its perfectly ok for testing or low-load stuff, but you can integrate with Apache (a moderately compex task, but do-able, see tomcat-user forum off of apache site) for greater stability, and you don't have to show the port in the URL... Don't set up a webserver on any pc that contains stuff you don't want hacked into... it becomes very succeptible when the service is up...

I cannot get the LED light on. The card works fine because I am using XP right now.
I installed both the bcm43xx and the bm43 firmware in an attempt to get it working. Could one or the other be causing a conflict?
When I tried to modprobe either of the two I get something like "invalid operation."
When I do
b43-fwcutter -w "/lib/firmware/" wl_apsta_mimo.o
it gives me an error saying the input doesn't exist.
edit: Could I get this moved to the wireless section?

We want to make sure you get service in your home Astromandata! I can check your area to see if you qualify for the network extender. What's your zip code? If it does qualify than you will be able to use it for your Lumia to support your voice services. Find out more information here: http://spr.ly/6585fNlt Is anyone else having this issue?

HP Photosmart C5580 , I need a network driver for windows 7 64 bit.

hello all ,
this is the only driver supplied by HP for my printer and Windows 7 64bit :
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL30128/mp-74904-1/PS_AIO_04_C5500_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_1...
as you can see it is listed as "NonNet" and as it is such I am unable to print from ANY other computer in my house , I have been trying o solve this for months , Complete reinstalls of drivers (hundreds of times) and complete reinstalls of Operating systems , this will not work.
(also , the only OS's supported under this drivers listing are the Windows 7 family only , could this be the problem?)
What I have running now:
Main PC , Windows 7 64bit ( the printer is installed here with above and only driver , all software and buttons work and prints as it should)
XP MCE Laptop (sees the printer , installs it , shows it as ready , will NOT print)
Vista Ultimate 32bit ( sees the printer , installs it , shows it as ready , will NOT print)
Vista Home Pro (sees the printer , installs it , shows it as ready , will NOT print)
I am at a total loss other then this driver just is not right , maybe because its not a network driver?? I don't know but I am out of things to try , I have tried adding the port , finding the printer through the ip yada yada on all the PC"s , nothing works
PLEASE if anyone has an answer or direction for me to go , please help.
thanks , have a wonderful day.

I'm not on a wireless netowrk , I have a fully wired network...still no printing (from other computers) if the C5580 is hooked to my Windows 7 64Bit PC
I had to put the C5580 printer and drivers on one of my Vista PC's (in another room) and now all the PCs (even the windows 7 64bit) prints to that pc , the ONLY problem with that is I need that printer/scanner on my Windows 7 64 PC and need the other PCs to print to it , because I need the scanner and software in here.

I need free network analyzer software for my mac. we are trying to monitor what software may be running which is causing our internet to fail, although the internet is still coming into our modem.what is recommended?

My internet keeps 'tripping' at or around the same period time each day. We have already replaced our modem from our internet provider and we bought a new airport extreme router. We do not believe these were the cause, although we have now ruled them out as a cause. Everytime the internet fails, our internet provider company tells us that there is still plenty of signal coming into our house. There is something going on inside we believe, and a technician set up our Network Utility to run a continuous ping test to capture information about when it 'trips' againn. Yesterday, it happened again, and when he checked the data out, he said he is sure there is something 'running in the background' on my IMac. He advised me to download a free Network Analyzer so he could further investigate what is was that was causing the problem, so I need a free network analyzer software for my Mac. The issue has been going on for a long time, so it is not the new operating system, Lion. This morning, we changed the radio channel from 'auto' to 'manual' and set a new channel, hoping that might help. We are trying to find out what program may be running (even a tiny one in the background) which is causing our internet to fail, although the internet is still coming into our modem. What is free downloadable product is recommended?

Will Activity Monitor and/or Network Utility, both already in the Utilities folder on your Mac, help in trying to diagnose the problem.
If you are connecting via wifi what encryption are you using? If you're using the Exteme I doubt that you are using WEP, but worth checking as it seems Macs don't like it and work better using WPA.

Verizon DSL Newbie needs Home Networking Help

I am a brand new Verizon DSL user (on my i-MAC G3 OS Panther) and I would love to be able to access the same DSL connection with my i-Book G4 (also OS Panther with an Airport Extreme card built in).
I tried looking this up on Verizon's website and quickly became totally confused. Verizon seems to think MAC users are second class citizens.
Would someone be willing to tell me exactly how to do this? Do I need a router? Do I need an Airport Base Station?
Thanks much, and please forgive my ignorance.

I have a verizon westell dsl wireless router which is working fine when the 3 macs (1 g3 powermac, 2 ibook g4's - all panther) on the network are hard wired.. but when you try to connect wirelessly, the ip address found in the TCPIP DHCP is a 169 address.. not 192.. and even though it seems to see the router.. you cannot connect to the internet. Anyone have a clue... I've tried manually typing in a 192 addy in the range which for a moment fools Airport and it states in Network Status that is's connected to the internet.. but it's not... I've also done the old un plug the router. restart the mac.. turn airport on and off drill and again.. nothing...I'm stumped... At one time we were able to connect wirelessly to this router.. but now no...HELP PLEASE!

Need help networking a photosmart 7960 to a windows 7 64 bit system from an XP Home 32 bit

I'm trying to network an HP photosmart 7960 to a wireless notebook with Win 7 64 bit where the printer is connected via usb to a windows home 32 bit computer. Have downloaded vista 64 bit drivers for the printer but can't install them on the windows 32 bit system. Have installed the drivers on the win 7 system but can't locate the inf file when trying to add a network printer. Any help would be appreciated.

I sympathize with your dilemma. I have the same situation. I have a Media Center 2002XP SP3 desktop with 3 printers connected. Photosmart 7960, PSC 750xi all in one, and a Deskjet 870cse(a vintage 1996). I just purchased a HP dv7-3188cl notbook WIN7 64bit. My home network has worked flawlessly for years, with at least 4 wired and 3 wireless computers connected, networking 6 printers.
I have resolved my network problems with the printers. They are connected to the host machine running MC2002 XP SP3. I tried to install the printers through the network wizard by adding the printers through WIN7. Only the 14 year old printer installed successfully. The photosmart 7960 and PSC 750xi did NOT. Windows Update could not find the drivers for the install. None are available on HP website either.
After some web research, I have solved my problems. At first, I followed the add printer protocol from the WIN7 laptop. Error messages resulted and the USB printers would not install error0x00000214. The USB printers failed to install while connected to the host XP machine. The 870cse is on LPT1 and it did network successfully when attached to the host XPcomputer.
The drivers needed for the 7960 and 750xi (and probably many other HP printers) will install if you connect the printer to the WIN7 machine and follow the setup. Windows update will load the needed drivers if they are available. I sucessfully installed both printers on the WIN7 notebook, printed a test page on each, and printed other docs from the WIN7 notebook while they were connected to the WIN7 notebook. These drivers are 64bit. Both printers worked well when connected via USB to the WIN7 machine.
I then disconnected the printers from the WIN7 notebook and reconnected them to the original host XP desktop.
With the host desktop running, and the notebook running wirelessly, I went to (on WIN7) START--Devices and Printers.
Click ADD A PRINTER at the top of the window, then click LOCAL PRINTER ( NOT network!!!)
Then in the following Printer port window choose 'CREATE A NEW PORT--SELECT LOCAL PORT amd click next.
In the Port name box, enter the name of the port, ie the path. For example if the host machine with the printers attached is named WINXPMACHINE (as named on the network), enter \\WINXPMACHINE\ Then add immediately after that the Printer's name as it is on the XP machine( right click the printer in the Printer and Fax folder on the XP machine, select sharing and find the network share name for the printer). It may look like \\WINXPMACHINE\Printerx where x is a number corresponding to the printer. Then click next and OK
The next box asks to choose the printer from a list. Select the printer you want to network( I have only done this with HP printers) and click next
The next dialogue box asks to use the driver currently installed(recommended)--click next -- do NOT replace the driver( it was installed when the printer was directly connected to your WIN7 machine) Type in the name you want to use to identify the printer on your WIN7 machine. The printer will install. Print a test page to confirm installation.

QEMU/KVM bridge networking howto

Hello all,
I had a dialog here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145177 but I inadvertently hijacked the OP thread, for that I deeply apologize and decided to start my own thread.
I've been struggling with getting my bridge networking working with QEMU/KVM. I would love to get my KVM Windows 7 install working with bridge network so I can access my internal lan, but so far I am out of luck. When I follow the Wiki's I completely hose my network settings and can't get online with my Arch host.
I've followed the wiki's here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/QE … al_network
should I be using this wiki instead:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KV … Networking
I'm kinda confused on how to approach this since there are separate wikis for QEMU and KVM.
I have a couple of confusing questions, that I hope someone can answer, or lead me in a direction to help me find a solution. Free internet beer for helping.
From a vanilla install of Arch, if I would like to run Windows 7 64-bit in a VM, should I use QEMU or KVM? I did get the windows 7 up and running, not sure how, but it's not on my internet LAN, the VM can only access the internet.
Can someone help me out step by step or pointing me in a direction that can help get a bridge network set up between my host, which will need a static IP address, and my VM, which I would prefer to have another static IP address on my network.
I've tried using virtualbox but the performance was slower than using QEMU/KVM.
BTW, what's the difference between QEMU and KVM? I'm confused by that as well. I would even be willing to write up a "beginners guide" if I can get help getting mine set up.
any help is greatly appreciated.
--nixIT

I do things manually on my system so, for two VM:
ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap user djgera
ip tuntap add dev tap1 mode tap user djgera
brctl addbr br0
brctl setfd br0 0.0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 tap0
brctl addif br0 tap1
ip link set dev br0 up
ip link set dev tap0 up
ip link set dev tap1 up
ip addr del 192.168.0.77/24 dev eth0
ip addr add 192.168.0.77/24 broadcast + dev br0
ip route add default via 192.168.0.1
then each qemu-kvm instance that I lauch add:
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net0,mac=52:54:00:12:34:00 -netdev type=tap,id=net0,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=net1,mac=52:54:00:12:34:01 -netdev type=tap,id=net1,ifname=tap1,script=no,downscript=no

Need Wireless Network Scenarios!!

Hey guys,
I really could use your help with designing a perfect wireless network for my odd shaped house.
My house is 1 story, shaped just like an L.
The top of the little line of the "L" is where my current router and cable modem is located. THAT CANNOT CHANGE.
The base where the two lines of the "L" meet, i have a printer that I would like to add to my wireless network.
And Finally, the biggest problem, at the top of the longest line of the "L" is my living room and I get no wireless reception out there...nothing...
I have recently looked into switching my entire network over to Apple. But I would like to know if it is POSSIBLE if I can get wireless internet connection throughout my entire house.
Please let me know what you genius' think.
Please describe the answer with each thing I need at the parts of the "L" and what mode these things need to be in. (relay, base, etc.)
Money is not a problem.
Thanks in advance!!!

I would offer that you could consider any of the following options:
1) If not currently, wire the house for Ethernet. The 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) would remain at its current location and connected by Ethernet to the cable modem. Place an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) at the location of the printer. This AXn would need to be reconfigured as bridge. It would use the same Network Name, but use a different Base Station Name and radio channel than the AEBSn. Place a second AXn in the living room. Like the first, it would use the same Network Name, but different Base Station Name & radio channel.
2) If Ethernet is not an option, place a PowerLine adapter at each of the AirPort locations as in the first option. Both the first and second AXn would be configured as in the first option.
3) If neither of the first two options are doable, then you would need to configure for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). The current AEBSn would be the main; the first AXn would be the relay, and the second AXn would be the remote base station in this WDS.

I need help networking a ibook color series blue se with a mac mini please

Ok i need some help let me explain:
I just purchased a blue clamshell g3 366mhz here are my specs:
powerpc g3 clamshell 366mhz
apple airport card
40 gig hard drive
512 megs of ram
running mac os x tiger 10.4.10 (by the way no issues running mac os x tiger if you upgrade ram and hard drive)
I also own a intel mac mini here are it's system specs
intel mac mini 1.6 ghz
1.5 gig's ram
250 gig hard drive
running mac os x tiger 10.4.10
So here is what i would like to do
I own apple's ilife 08 and 06 and i purchased a 05 installation disk from amazon.
I use the ibook as photograghy storage while i am out shooting nature shoots and wedding's
I have installed in this order.
adobe photoshop cs
adobe illustrator cs
adobe indesign cs
iphoto 06 (yes it does work on g3 computers
i movie 05 (yes it works as well)
but i really need to be able to network the two machines to each other so i can transfer photo's from one machine to another. How do i do this????
Is there a way to do this with the airport cards????
Do i need to purchase software from apple???
If so what???

You can use Ethernet or AirPort or even Firewire.
The fastest way to transfer photos is to boot the iBook into Firewire Target Disk mode. The iBook will then act as an external FireWire drive. You can then drag files from the iBook to the Mac mini.
For other options, you can find details on making a network for file sharing in KB 106461, Mac OS X: About File Sharing.
