IP address of LAN ports???

Howdy,
Anybody know what the assigned IPs of the three LAN ports are? I used to have a d-link which died on me and it was very easy to look up the port IPs, and using one of them, I set up my network enabled HP printer and could consequently print to it from any computer. I've read the Apple setup manual and used the Utility but I find both ENTIRELY lacking in detailed information.
I bought a Time Capsule which will be delivered tomorrow and I'm already starting to regret the purchase. Though I never really liked my d-link, it had a web interface and it offered all manner of configuration options and used industry standard naming conventions. It also had exemplary documentation. That was very nice. The Apple device, however, seems to be INCREDIBLY dumbed down. My neighbor has an AE which isn't secured in any way, so I connected to it with the Utility to see what was up, expecting pages and pages of the same kinds of available options I find in most routers, but there's like a handful of options. I'm getting pretty freaked out and wondering if I've made a huge mistake in getting this thing. If I can't use my networked printer, I'm kind of screwed.
Thanks.

Thanks Joseph, however, I don't know if this will work for me. Firstly, my printer is an elderly 4M+ with a possibly even older network card, so I can assure you that it has no web interface, and I don't think it can do DHCP either. I think I have to assign a static IP, and my old router had easily identifiable IPs for all the LAP ports, such as port 1 was 192.168.0.1, port 2 was 192.168.0.2, etc. I'd just choose a port, plug my printer into it, and dial that static IP into the printer. So, unless I know the IP of the port, or know that whatever IP I plug in to that port would work (and I'd have to know the range), I'm not sure how I'd do this.
I'm really hating the fact that not only do the Apple routers require a utility to configure them (i.e. no web interface, like every other product out there), have simplistic documentation, and lack the ability for advanced configuration. I think I'm going to be very unhappy.

Windows (XP) not receiving IP address from LAN port on Airport Extreme

I have a DSL modem connected to the AEBS WAN port. Three computers (one Windows laptop, one emac, and one powerbook) can successfully connect to the internet wirelessly through the AEBS. The remaining desktop PC, running Windows XP, normally connects to the LAN port on the AEBS and there are no problems.
Suddenly, the desktop (always configured to get ip addresses automatically using DHCP) is not getting an IP address from the AEBS. I've confirmed this via IPconfig, and the address is 169..... The Windows error message is "limited or no connectivity."
When the desktop is connected directly to the DSL modem, however, it works just fine. Of course this isn't a satisfactory fix, as it means the DSL modem is no longer connected to the AEBS WAN port, and none of the wireless computers have internet access.
I've determined that the problem is not in the LAN port itself, as my powerbook successfully connects via ethernet through the AEBS LAN port.
I've also updated the AEBS firmware to 5.7.
Any suggestions on how to fix this. As I mentioned, the problem occurred overnight.

Try using System Restore to set the computer back to a time when it was working.

How do I find the IP address of drive connected to LAN port?

I connected a network drive to the LAN port of my AEBS. It appears as a Shared Device but I need to find out its assigned IP address so I can configure it. I looked in Airport Utility but can't find a listing of IP addresses that have been assigned. Is there a way to do this?

I'd ping the next IP address up from your own and see what comes back. That's assuming its just your AEBS, your Mac and the NAS on the network.....

RV180 (wired only) problems with firmware 1.0.4.14, fails to boot correctly + LAN ports power off during boot (downgrading to 1.0.3.10 = fine again).

Hi All,
A few months ago when 1.0.4.14 was released I was quick to update to this version from 1.0.3.10 but very quickly ran into issues.
Bit of background info... I am not doing anything complex with this box, basic IP4 network over all LAN ports, no VLANs, firewall enabled and allowing 2 port access rules to a static IP address. Any static IPs are assigned manual at host level but all other devices receive DHCP IP addresses. I don’t host VPN on this RV180 but I do with another. Routing VPN has no issues. WAN is connected to another switch provided by my ISP who provides DHCP IP Address with their DNS etc. Only LAN ports 1 and 2 are connected, port 1 to my Wireless AP (AP mode passing all requests to the RV180, DHCP etc.), port 2 connects to a 8 port Smart Switch (but all 'Smart' features are currently not in use, so basic switching only). All other settings on the RV180 are on recommended defaults.
Everything is working fine on 1.0.3.10 but I have all kinds of issues after updating to 1.0.4.14. Here are the actions and experiences I had...
1) Backup my RV180 config to txt file.
2) Navigate to the firmware upgrade page and follow steps to complete the upgrade process from 1.0.3.10 to 1.0.4.14. *router does the normal process of upgrading*
3) RV180 reboots to complete but doesn’t come back up even after waiting 5-10 mins. LAN ports enable during boot up (link lights on) but after about 2mins turn off (no link lights). WAN light is on alongside the Power Light.
4) Power cycle even with rest... Same results.
5) Reset the RV180 to default settings. I can sometimes get the unit to boot up and the LAN remains active and powered up. The web UI is VERY slow compared with 1.0.3.10. Internet sometimes works and sometimes doesn't (I would expect it all work without issue on default settings).
6) I repeat this a few times, various resets, powered off waiting periods, etc. but I always have issues. I did manage to get some log file information and the Kernel appears in the Alert, Error and also the Warning logs (please see attached files).
7) I gave up at this point. No major issues like this reported on the internet from a few google searches etc. So I then reset to defaults (1.0.4.14), downgrade to 1.0.3.10 and finally reset to defaults again + restore backup config settings (with some manual changes).
The router has remained like this and seem to be working fine, but I would like any security improvements from 1.0.4.14 firmware on my device.
Anyone able to help, have the same issue or can advise me in any other ways?
I see 1.0.3.10 isn’t displayed as a firmware download on the standard support page for the RV180 now. Only 1.0.2.6 and 1.0.4.14. Do I need to downgrade again to 1.0.2.6 before upgrading to the latest version?

Hi,
I recently bought a RV180 router and immediately I encountered the same problem; practically I am not able to access the web GUI.
The PC is directly connected to the router, nothing else is connected; the TCP/IP configuration is as follows:
PC: 192.168.1.100
RV180: 192.168.1.1
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.1
SUBNET MASK: 255.255.255.0
Once the router is turned on, the power LED flashes fastly, the Ethernet LED is on but after few minutes it disappears and the PC detects a disconnection of the Ethernet cable.
The router is not pingable and, as I said, the web interface is not reachable.
I have tried to power cycle the router, to reset it (pressing the reset button for more than 3 second and for more than one minute), to access the rescue mode and download a new firmware through TFTP, but nothing worked.
Few times, after many boot and reset trials,I was able to access the web interface and in one of these occasions I updated the firmware to 1.0.4.14 but once the router is powered off the problem arises again at the next power on.
I have not tried yet to downgrade to an older firmware version.
Can you suggest any solution? thank you.

DHCP on both Wifi and LAN ports?

Everything works well; Wifi clients (MAC only), AppleTV, USB Hub with Printer and 3 External disks etc...
I plug in my MacPro via a LAN Cable and it does not get a valid IP Address from the DHCP server.
Tried setting a fixed IP with all the proper config, nothing gives.
I am a tried and true IT professional with over 20 years, and can't figure this one out. Anyone else have this problem?

That certainly should work. The AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) supports both wired clients (via the LAN ports) and wireless clients. All clients appear on the same subnet.
The MacPro has 2 Ethernet ports? Have you tried both of them? Check the Network preference pane to ensure that the one you are using is enabled.
Otherwise... have you tried using one of the other LAN ports? Have you tried a different Ethernet cable to eliminate the possibility of a defective cable?

Can I use the LAN port out of the network?

I just bought an Express to use with a neighbor. They have a desk top PC and a DSL modem. If we plug the modem into the extreme, can I just plug his PC into the LAN Port without having to configure it to the Extreme (we don't want to create a linked network, we just need the signal to pass through like a router)? Ideally, this is what I want, for them to not have anything to deal with, just me setting up my own laptop and leaving their system be.
Will our computers be linked at all if the wireless aspect of it is only being used for my g4 ibook?

cactus101, Welcome to the discussion area!
You mention Express and Extreme. I'm going to assume that you are connecting the PC to the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
Yes you can plug the PC into the AEBS's LAN port. The PC will be configured to use Ethernet and DHCP to get an IP address. The PC doesn't won't even know that the AEBS exists. It will only know that a router exists and it is connected via Ethernet.Will our computers be linked at all if the wireless aspect of it is only being used for my g4 ibook?Yes they will be on the same network subnet.

SRW2024 - Forcing clients to use a specific IP address (based on port)

With the SRW2024 managed switch, is it possible to force a client computer connected to a port to use a specific IP address (for example 192.168.1.30) and if the client tries to configure any other address which is not 192.168.1.30, the traffic is dropped and they essentially cannot access any LAN or internet resources?
Basically what I would like to do is associate an IP address with every port on the switch. It sounds like this would be possible using the IP based access control feature, however I wanted to confirm.
Thank You

Well, I have contacted three different stores asking which hardware version they have in stock, (even providing instructions on how they can check)... Two of the three stores said they didn’t know what I was talking about and couldn’t check it for me, and the third one actually told me to contact Linksys and ask them... as if Linksys is supposed to know which hardware version their store carries!
So I guess I will have to ask once more if anyone here knows how long hardware version 1.2 (for srw2024) has been out?

Guest Network Access via Lan Port

I bought two of the new Apple Airport Expresses and have the Wireless working just great. I have the second one as an extender also working just as I need it to work. But is there a way to use the LAN port on either of the the units (either the Primary Access Point or the Extended one) to allow someone to connect their computer or other device via hardwire but join as a Guest Participant (so they're segregated from the rest of the network)?
Or is there a way I can connect the device to the LAN port, assign it an IP Address and then use some of the advanced tools to block it from everything else on the network except for using the internet?

No, sorry but the Guest Network cannot be extended either by wireless or Ethernet.

No, this is not possible with the AirPort routers.

Setting static IP on Lan port

I've been trying to set up 1 static IP on a LAN port for a media player. I believe the method to use is (1)go to ADVANCED ROUTING tab (2)Select (in my case) GATEWAY (3) Select a route number (I select route (1)) (4) I enter a name in the name area (5) enter IP = 192.168.1.50 MASK = 255.255.255.0 GTWY = 192.168.1.1 (6) Select LAN/Wireless, then do a save.
At that point a message on screen says "MAY BE DEFAULT ROUTE ALREADY EXISTS", and nothing is saved. If I select route 1 no data is found. I see nothing in any of the other route entries. I'm curious of a line in the routing table it says
192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1 LAN/Wireless
If that is not supposed to be there, how do you clear it??
Thanks for any help.

Do not change the advanced routing page or add routes. You won't need it. It does something completely different.
To configure a static IP address you must set this up in the device! You have to configure your media player to have a static IP address. Right now, it is probably set to DHCP/automatic IP (whatever they might have called it). You have to change that to manual and set up the IP address, net mask, gateway and probably also the DNS servers. Choose an IP address from the range 192.168.1.2-99 or 150-254 (assuming you did not change the DHCP server settings in your router). Netmask is 255.255.255.0 (identical to the Network Setup - Router IP netmask). Gateway is the router, i.e. 192.168.1.1. For the DNS server you can either use the router at 192.168.1.1 or you can choose the DNS servers of your ISP. You'll see the DNS servers of your ISP on the Status tab of the router setup pages.

LAN ports not working but wireless is fine

Just purchased AE to use with my Zoom comcast modem (no router function on the modem). The wireless function is working flawlessly but I am not able to get IP addresses to hardware attached to the AE via the LAN ports. I've cycled and reset until I'm blue in the face! Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

There are no settings to check. The Ethernet ports are enabled by default when the AirPort is operating correctly.
As a last resort, you could reset the AirPort back to default settings and then set it up again if you have the time. Hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort for 8-10 seconds and release, than allow a full minute for the AirPort to restart. Then, set it up again and check the Ethernet ports.
I assume that you have checked to make sure that you have a good Ethernet cable.

Can't access server via RDC through one of the LAN port among two.

Hello!!
I have a window 2008 server with two LAN port. First with public IP Address and Second with Private IP for internal connection (no gateway IP Address). I'm able to connect server via RDC via public IP but not via Private IP.
Pls suggest how can I troubleshoot for dual connectivity through RDC.
Regards,
nts007

I have seen this issue with multihomed systems. I would verify connectivity from the client first.
1. Can you Ping the private IP from the client?
If the pings are unsuccessful...
Are your client and server IP on the same subnet
I have run into this problem on multihomed servers. Because the default gateway points to a router on the public IP, return traffic from the server might be being sent to the default gateway.
To solve this you will need to use the route add command to tell the server to send the return traffic to a router through the private IP.
2. If you could ping the IP, I would make sure you can reach the RDP port on the internal IP
From a command prompt can you make a connection to the rdp port (3389 by default)?
telnet privateip 3389
If you can you will get a screen with the cursor at the top right if you can't it will say "Could not open connection"
If you could not connect to the port, then check to see if the Windows firewall might be preventing the connection.
3. If that doesn't work then I'd follow Milo's advice and use Netmon. You might have to run it from the client and the server to get a full understanding of the issue.

W7 PCs on router LAN port can not find Wireless connected OJ Pro 8500A Plus following router upgrade

My Broadband Supplier has replaced my internet router with a new one with dual N band Wireless and GigE LAN ports. The 8500A printer has been successfully WPA wirelessly connected and works fine with a wireless connected Sony windows 7 laptop and Apple devices. However neither of the Dell LAN connected windows 7 desktop PCs or the same Sony laptop when connected to a LAN port on the router can find the printer. I have tried reinstalling the printer software with the latest version from the HP site OJ8500_A910_1315 and the installation fails as network environment checker can not find the printer. I have run the HP network diagnostics with both firewalls in the PC and router disabled with no success. The LAN itself seems to be working OK as the PCs can see each other, exchange files and and can access the internet. The router has been checked by the broadband supplier technical uupport. The printer is visible as a network connected device in Windows explorer so you would expect the HP software to see it. Is the only option to fix the printers IP address and use that in the installion procedure or are there other settings I can alter to get the HP network environment checker to work properly? Thoughts would be appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

In the router settings look for "wireless isolation", "AP isolation" or the like and make sure it is DISABLED. This setting disables communication between the wired and wireless clients.

Number of Ethernet Devices Supported on Ethernet/LAN port of Airport Express

I am using an Airport Express to extend my wireless network (Apple Time Capsule Base) and using the ethernet/LAN port to connect a wired device (a DirecTV DECA) so that my DirecTV HD DVR box can connect to the internet thru my home network. Works great. I have Whole Home DVR installed and so the other DirecTV receivers in the house are connecting to one another over the the coax and using the (DECA - Ethernet over Coax) to talk to one another and they each recieve an IP address via DHCP from the Apple Time Capsule Base - obviously thru the brdige created by the AirPort Express. Recently added an additional DirecTV reciever and for some reason this one will not get an address? Is as if the Aiport Express has "maxed out" the number of ethernet devices it will connect or bridge on the LAN side? I have tried shutting everything down and bringing DirecTV recievers on in different orders and it is alwasy the last one (the 5th one) that fails to get an address. Anyone have any knowledge if there is indeed a limit of the number of ethernet devices that are supported on the Ethernet/LAN port of the Airport Express? Thanks for any insight.

in theory, yes, but you work network admin may have locked the network preventing this from working

How to find MAC address for WAN port for Airport Express 2nd Gen.

The New Airport Express has a LAN and a WAN ethernet ports. How can I find the MAC address for the WAN ethernet port as my Service Provider needs it for provisioning....I can fid MAC address for Ethernet and for two wireless 2.4 & 5GHz but not for WAN ethernet port using Airport Utility 6.1

Many thanks for the swift response. However, there is no WAN MAC address on the box or on the device anywhere. I even used magnifying glass to find one .
The airport utility shows only three mac addresses. One for 2.4GHz, one for 5GHz and one fo the ethernet (LAN port) whereas there is another ethernet port in the device mentioned as WAN port and I am still not able to find the MAC address for the WAN ehternet port for Airport Express (2nd Generation).
Will appreciate a response to make th device work wiht my service provider as providing them the WAN mac address is a must. Had there been an option for cloning mac address, the issue would have not been there.
Many thanks again - in advance.

Can an AEBS extend a wireless network and provide 3 LAN ports?

I have just reorganised my wireless network by replacing an AEBS GigE (MC053B/A) {AEBS1} with an AEBS Sim Dual-Band II (MC340B/A) {AEBS2}. Whereas before I used an AE G {AE1} to provide a dedicated G wireless network and bridged it via LAN to AESB1, which was configured for 5GHz N only, the new setup is all taken care by AEBS2.
The setup is basically this:
AEBS2:
- Internet gateway with shared IP from the cable modem.
- all client wireless connections are made to AEBS2, no other base station will accept client wi-fi.
- provides separate 5GHz N and 2.4GHz B/G networks with WPA2 authentication
- performs all DHCP assignment
- uses MAC address access control
- allows networks to be extended
AE1:
- set to 'join' the G network for AirTunes
*AE N* {AE2} :
- set to extend N network but no wireless clients: this enables the LAN port to be used to connect to my FreeSat HD TV's ethernet port, for upcoming BBC iPlayer support.
*Wi-Fi clients:*
- Various client devices all connect via N or G to AEBS2
This all works just fine.
The problem I have is with AEBS1. I have a Mac Min Core Duo that only has G wireless. I would like to configure AEBS1 to extend the N network so that its LAN ports can be used by the Mac Mini (and turn off the Mini's wi-fi). The idea is similar to what I've done with AE2: no wireless clients, just LAN.
I've restored AEBS1 to default settings and then configured it to 'extend' the N network with no wireless clients.
While testing I find that AEBS1 connects to the N network but only for 70 seconds, it then disconnects for 31 seconds, after which it reconnects. This cycle is predictable and I've monitored it from an iMac PINGing AEBS1's wireless IP address while following the ethernet (en0) status in the Console app on a LAN attached MacBook.
The MacBook gets its DHCP assigned IP address from AEBS2 when AEBS1's connection is up, but the IP address is dropped as soon as AEBS1 drops the connection.
The MacBook quite happily connects when I tested it using AE2's LAN port.
So either AEBS1 has a problem, or AEBS2, or both.
Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Thanks Bob. I've read extensively here of the limits of 5GHz, but I've not experienced these as my house doesn't have solid (concrete) floors or (many brick) walls. I also have the main WiFi point upstairs and I've put AEBS2 upside down on its 'head' near the floor.
I'm able to get good Wi-Fi throughout the house on both N and G. The Apple TV, which is under the TV and near AE2 gets good N connectivity. Mainly, the worse WiFi device is the Mac Mini and it always has been.
Since AE2 can join/extend the 5GHz N network and it is downstairs, I think there is some problem with with how AEBS1 tries to extend 5GHz N networks. BTW AEBS1 is on my desk and AEBS2 is under the desk about 1m away.
For the moment I've set AEBS2 to "802.11n only (5 GHz) - 802.11b/g/n" and have AEBS1 set to extend the 2.4GHz b/g/n network. At least the Mac Mini will get 2.4GHz N some of the time and more consistent connectivity all of the time.
