Is it possible to have an eternal ethernet disk connected to airport extr?

Just a simpel question because i have a WD 'netcenter' which is not accessible by usb but only with a lan cable?

Yes. It won't be usable with Time Machine.

Lacie Ethernet Disk connected to Airport, no clients can access due to AFP

Hi, I'm using a new Lacie Ethernet Drive 500gig FAT-32 on it and all the clients on Macs get an AFP error, "This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect to it."
Any thoughts, I was thinking I just need to enable TCP/IP connections but I can't get into it.

OK, I got it working now I have another question
Since the server is behiend my Airport do I need to open up specific ports on the Airport, if so what are they or where can I find them, and would I just use my public ISP IP addres like http://xx.xx.xx.xxx/ED_mini ? or a directory on it or what?
Thanks Again

HT4356 I have an HP 4500 printer connected to airport extreme with usb. All our portable notebooks print via air but cannot get iPad to be recognized for printing. Do I really have to have one of the other HPs listed?

Even if it was compatible, AirPrint does not work through a USB link, only Ethernet or WiFi.
I do not see your HP 4500 listed on Apple's list of AirPrint compatible printers. <iOS: AirPrint 101> Therefore you need to take another approach. To start, I suggest you download the free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz. It has limitations, but should get you printing with your existing setup.
There are other printing Apps with more features such as Print n Share and PrintCentral, but they can only be accessed from within other Apps that have the "Open In" option.
Your best option may be to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi. Programs that are reported to do that well are Printopia and FingerPrint. Your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

Powerbook G4 can't connect via ethernet but connects via airport

We have a small office network connected to an Efficient Networks DSL router that's managed by our isp. The router has 4 ports and a linksys 8 port switch is connected to one of those ports. Another D-Link wireless router/switch is connected to another port.
2 i-macs connect without problem via ethernet cable. They are set to DHCP and get 192.xx private addresses. Both run 10.4.5. Another older imac running 9.2.2. also has no problems.
I recently purchased a powerbook G4 and it will not connect via ethernet to the Efficient networks router. At first it was connected to the linksys, so decided to connect it direct to the Efficient Networks router. With DHCP, it acquires a 169. internet address which is self generated (i.e. no real connection). I tried to give it a static private address (talking to the isp provider). They could see the powerbook but saw all zero's (presumable mac address). By the way the Powerbook works perfectly at home connected via ethernet cable to a D-Link router connected to a cable modem so it's not a physical problem. I even checked the ethernet cable I used in the office with another computer - no problem.
When I switch to airport in the office, the powerbook connects to the network and the internet. I get some strange warning messages showing the server's and the router's private ip addresses. I click ok, and the powerbook finds an unassigned private ip address. It's the only way it will work, but it causes problems, because I can't connect to one of the network printers. Speed also isn't great.
Can anyone give me advise how to proceed. I am no expert on this stuff so keep it as simple as possible.
Tks

Tim,
Thanks for your help. Here's what I've done before reading your e-mail. The D-Link DI-524 wireless router is connected to the Effiicent Neworks DSL router as you mentioned. One ethernet port of the EFF.Net. router is connected to the WAN port of the DI-514.
Because I have a D-Link router at home which works flawlessly with my powerbook, I decided to connect the ethernet cable of the powerbook to the D-Link which has 4 ethernet ports. Lo and behold, the powerbook acquired a private ip address and connected to the LAN and internet!
When I connected the powerbook direct to the Efficient Networks router, it could not communicate. I believe that there must be some software incompatibility between the powerbook and the Efficient Networks router. By connecting to the D-Link, the D-Link assigned an ip address to the powerbook, and it could connect to the server, lan, etc..
Only problem is that I have a Brother network printer that cannot connect to the powerbook. My powerbook cannot find it on the network. Because there is a linksys switch connected to the efficient networks router's third ethernet port, maybe as you said, going through the D-Link via DHCP (when the Linksys is also acting as a DHCP server, might cause this type of problem. What do you think?
As a final note, other imac G5's connected to the linksys switch (which then connects to the Efficient Network's router) have no problem connecting to the lan or internet and have no problem connecting to any of the printers. When I put the powerbook on that switch, I could not connect to the internet - i.e. whether connecting via the lynksys switch or direct with the efficient networks router - same results: no internet connection whether manually or via DHCP.
So the imac G5 has no problem with the efficient networks router but the powerbook G4 hits a brick wall. The G4 likes the D-Link router. I am concerned (and I will have to check this) that if I turn off the dhcp server feature from the D-Link, that whatever software issue crops up between the powerbook and the Efficient Networks router, will rise up again, because the D-Link will act like a simple switch (just like my linksys switch), and we'll be back to square zero. In any case, no harm in trying. This may be the cause of the Powerbook not seeing that Brother printer (even though it sees another printer and other macs).
Having spent hours reading about network problems, I think it's safe to say that macs have problems with certain routers. Why a G5 works and a powerbook G4 doesn't is beyond me, but clearly software must play a role.

Mac Mini won't print via ethernet cable connected to airport extreme

Hi. Thanks for your input in advance. Am about to start throwing things around. I have an Airport Extreme based network which is working fine. The printer is a new HP L7590 which connects to the network with a USB cable connection to the Airport Extreme. Those with laptops and wireless cards are able to print no problem. However my Mac Mini, a 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4 is connected to the printer using a ethernet cable connected to the Airport Extreme. All was working perfectly until I upgraded from Panther to Tiger. I am now running 10.4.11. Now the Mini will not print. The jobs keep stopping. I have removed the printer and try to add it again. The print browser page finds the printer okay and lists it as connecting via Bonjour, but when you tell it to add it, it starts 'searching for new drivers' and then 'gathering printer information' and then it stops responding and I have to force quit it. Any suggestions?? I have already tried all the online mac help suggestions.

Actually it transpires that the G4 laptops are not printing either now.

Is it possible to have two ip address ranges on an airport base station

I have just got two airport extreme base stations for the school that I work in.
Our School network uses static ip addresses in two ranges - we have a range of 10.11.128.1 to 10.11.129.254 with our servers on 10.11.135.252-254 and a subnet of 255.255.248.0
This range is for computers that pupils have access to.
We also have the range 10.9.35.1 - 10.9.35.254 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 which is for staff and is used for electronic registration and reporting.
I have set up a base station so that computers on the pupil network can logon to the network via airport but I don't see how I can get the base station to allow computers on the staff network to logon as well. In any classroom there are computers used by pupils but there will always at least one on the staff network for taking registers.
I would be really grateful if anyone could tell me any way of setting up the base station to cope with both address ranges.

No.

Hello, is it possible to have airplay play one album on my airport express and to listen to another album on the local mac?

If I am using my Airport Express to play an album using Airplay in my bedroom, is there a way I can also play a different album on the Mac that iTunes is located on?

No.

Switching from Ethernet Internet Connection to Airport Internet Connection

When I try to switch from an Ethernet connection at work to an Airport connection at home or visa versa, 9 out of 10 times it locks up my computer and I have to restart. I did not have this problem before I upgraded to Leopard.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
in the design center select the database modul, right mouse click, select configure and set the location to your new location.
You could change the original location if you first unregister it in the control center. Then it es editable - it's the better way to make changes on the connection entries.

Is it possible to have a cluster Disk from cloud storage

I have a use case where my destination array of my primary storage array I want to keep in the cloud. Using cloud storage controllers i believe it's possible to have data replication on the remote cloud storage.
Now using microsoft clustering i want to create a cluster of two nodes - Node A and Node B. Both these nodes are in my org premises.
With Node A i connect the local storage array and present a SAN disk to it. This SAN disk is imported into the microsoft failover cluster as a cluster disk.
With Node B I want to connect a virtual disk obtained directly from cloud. This cloud disk is the destination disk (due to the data replication between the two disks they will always be trying to sync) of the primary disk which we connected to Node A.
My Question is whether it's possible to have such a virtual disk carved out from cloud storage which can be included as a cluster disk into microsoft failover cluster. And at the backend act as the destination disk of my local storage array disk.
sk

so I think you have two issues here. The first is you want replication between your local SAN and cloud storage, which I haven't seen any commercially available options so far.
The other is you want to use a disk on top of cloud storage. In Azure you have the option to use Azure Drive which implements an NTFS drive on top of Blob Storage. However this only works from inside Azure, you can't mount a drive from Azure Storage to a
local machine.
Another point about your setup is the cluster resource - typically you setup a cluster using a shared resource, read both of your nodes would access the same resource. In your outlined scenario though you're trying to replace the shared resource by a replicated
resource, I'm not quite sure if this is a valid setup for the cluster. Otherwise you won't be able to use Azure Drive as Shared resource since both nodes would have R/W while Azure Drive allows only exclusive R/W for one node.
Seems there are some issues with your concept outside of the Azure part which you may need to verify.

Can connect via Ethernet but not via AirPort

I'm having some problems using my AirPort in Germany. I can connect just fine using an Ethernet cable direct from the modem (NETGEAR DG632B) but when I have plug the Ethernet cable into the AirPort I can't connect. I beleive it has to do with PPoE settings, which I am not really familiar with.
There are three spots I can enter my account info. 1, on the modem itself via Safari; 2, on the AirPort via AirPort Admin Utility; 3, on the Mac via Network Preferences. I have input my PPoE username/password into the modem while directly connected. I would tend to think that this shoudl be it and that everywhere on the LAN side of the modem would be able to utilize that account. The NETGEAR settings page shows the ADSL port Network Type as PPPOE and the LAN port as DHCP, so I have attempted to set up my AirPort and Network prefs using DHCP. That leads to "You are not connected to the Internet. Safari can’t open the page “http://www.google.com/” because your computer isn’t connected to the Internet." Network Diagnostics shows green at AirPort, AirPort Settings, Network Settings and ISP. It initially shows yellow at Internet and Server which lead to "Failed" on both. Network Diagnostics then asks me to choose my network port configuration (Built-in Ethernet, Internal Modem, Airport,Other). I select AirPort and select my AirPort network. Then all the Status lights except for AirPort turn red and asks if I use a DSL or cable model. I select yes, it asks me to restart the device, I do, it asks if I can restart any other devices, I select no. At that point Network Diagnostics says it is unable to connect to the Internet.
I have down-graded to Airport Firmware v5.5.1 as some have advised. No change. I'm running MacOS 10.4.6
My AirPort is just fine as I can use it to set up a LAN with no problem. I even pulled out my old Graphite base station and tried it. Same thing.
I have tried putting my PPPoE account info into my AirPort, my Network prefs both individually and both at the same time. Nothing. Is there something that I'm missing?

You'll need to connect your modem to your AEBS WAN port, configure your AEBS with the Airport Admin Utility, setting up the PPOE to properly log into your modem connection.
You should set up your mac to us DHCP (not PPOE).
THis should allow you to use either the ethernet port or wireless from your AEBS.
I hope this helps!

ITunes and LaCie Big Ethernet Disk -- Media Server

I have LaCie Big Ethernet Disk (1TB). The drive has a feature called Media Server, you setup a directory copy over your music, photos, and videos. The drive shares your music via UPaP, it shows up in iTunes as a shared music directory. The problem I'm having is I see the drive in iTunes under SHARED, but none of the music files are listed. My files are mixture of MP3, AAC and Apple Music Store Files. So far I've tried these things:
- toggling the shared checkbox on and off - no luck.
- Created a new iTunes Library - no luck.
- Created a new share directory on the drive - no luck.
I've contacted LaCie tech support which were not very helpful. They think its an iTunes problem. Does anyone have any suggestions, things to try, anything?
Thanks - CH

The protocol itunes uses for it's shared libraries is daap, I believe. Depending on how large your library is, it may take quite a while for the server to index the library you are trying to share. It also may choke on files with unconventional characters in their names or for other reasons. my best advice to you would be to try sharing a different folder containing a few music files and see if you can get that to work. Once you know it works correctly you can start checking to see if there are certain files that are causing it to fail, or if your just not waiting long enough for the server to index your music folder.

No Ethernet/Internet Connection on Parallels 7 Running Snow Leopard Server - Fix?

I have recently installed Parallels 7 on my 2013 iMac, and have both Snow Leopard Server and Windows 7 running great on the Parallels platform.
However, after installing some anti-virus software, "ClamXav" and "MacScan", I need to have the internet connected to my Paralells 7 so I can receive viral updates to both these programs. I am unable to get any ethernet/internet connection on my Paralells 7 running Snow Leopard Server.
I have tried to update the Paralells 7 Snow Leopard Server "network Info" (in SL systems preferences" ... as the same ethernet connection info that I have running my "network connection" on my main OS Mountain Lion, but still no ethernet connection in Paralells 7.
This is a screen grab of the locations where I believe I am able to update my "ethernet" info for Paralells 7 Snow Leopard:
Obviously, I've blurred out the current info in these two windows, for security purposes, but exactly what should be applied to these windows to get my "ethernet" connection in Paralells 7 up and running?
I would think entering the exact same "network info" as appears in my Mountain Lion "Systems Preferences - Network" window, would get me internet connected on Paralells 7 Snow Leopard? Evidently not ... what is needed for me to get this right?
Anyone have experience getting "ethernet/internet" connected on Snow Leopard Server, using Paralells 7?

Since I have been directed to: "NOT waste everyones time on this discussion" the only thing more I am going to do after this post is click on: "Stop email notifications" and never return to this thread again!
Internet access through Ethernet in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels 8 on 2011 Mac Mini in Lion:"
I simply don't want to purchase and have to install Parallels 8 .... Parallels 7 should work fine on connecting to the Internet. Also, I was asking about the internet connection issue with the new 2013 iMac (running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 runiing Parallels 7), not a 2011 Mini Mac running Lion with Parallels 8.

Conflict with ethernet Internet connection

Since the last firmware update, a weird conflict has emerged. When a Thunderbolt cable is plugged in so that my MacBook Pro is connected to a display, the Internet connection goes down. I obtain the Internet through an ethernet cable connected to the mains electricity circuit.
When I start up in the morning, the Internet and the display work for about five minutes, and then the Internet fails. It comes back every time I pull the thunderbolt cable out. It disappears when I put it back in. Network Diagnostics says I get as far as the network, but not to the ISP.
This is very frustrating. Any ideas anyone? I have just updated to version 10.8.3, but this has not fixed the problem.

I'm not sure what you mean by...
I obtain the Internet through an ethernet cable connected to the mains electricity circuit.
NORMALLY, you'd have the Ethernet cable plugged into a router... and you'd use the Display Ethernet under System Preferences>Network when your ATD was connected via Thunderbolt port:
Like so...
Can you be a little clearer on where you have your ATD>Ethernet port connected?

Ethernet cable connected to machine which has beco...

We currently have the yellow Ethernet cable connected to a desktop PC, and one or more laptops successfully accessing broadband. The system is BT Home Hub 3.0A. The desktop has now become unserviceable and we will likely dispose of it. Does this mean that we can just leave the Ethernet cable hanging 'free' once we dispose of the desktop, as the fact that the cable is now connected to a dead machine does not seem to be affecting the ability of other systems (laptops, phones) to access broadband?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It won't make any difference leaving the cable. Each ethernet port on the hub is independent of the others, and the WiFi signal is independent of the wired ethernet.
Of course, you could tidy things up if you want to by removing the cable completely, but the other computers won't care either way.

I have a TC which is connected wirelessly to my router. I would like to connect a mac in another location via ethernet to the TC. I can't seem to get it to connect. Am I missing something?

I have a virgin Superhub which serves my wireless needs throughout the house. I have a Timecapsule which connects wirelessly to the router with no issues. I can backup my MBP over wireless easily. I have now got another machine in a different part of the house that I would like to connect to the network. It doesn't have wireless so ethernet is the only option. I have a number of options 1) run cabling - not really possible 2) buy a powerline network system or 3) use the timecapsule to connect to the network/internet.
I like option 3 because
(a) - I don't have to spend any more money and
(b) - my wife wont complain about cables also see (a)
Should using mixed wifi and ethernet clients on a timecapsule work? if so is it a feature I can use out of the box so to speak?
Thanks

No a TC cannot do what you want.. it is now in dumb stupid wireless join mode.. and it turns off the ethernet ports.. in case you want to use the TC as a wireless bridge to multiple clients which is plainly wrong.. (only airport express is allowed to do this since it has only one ethernet port).
Welcome to Apple. (The plainly wrong above is a figment of Apple imagination.. of strict network protocols.. but unhelpful for a home device. maybe also to encourage sales of expresses.)
