MacBook to iBook - Networking ethernet/firewire/IP/Sharing

MacBook to iBook - Networking ethernet/firewire/IP/Sharing - This is the problem:
1. Firewire : I setup with firewire a MacBook to iBook IP network hub to use my MacBook over the iBook the net. Works 4 times without a problem, easy to set up, great ! Now it won't - green network status symbol in Sys>Network on booth computer. Firewire port selected on the top, as been advice already
( http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/11/11/panther_internet.html )... IP Address is activ, but now it won't go on the net over my iBook with the DSL modem. Can't use the modem on my MacBook(SpeedTouch 330) Thats why ! But what is the problem now with the firewire connection ?
2. Ethernet : Same problem as with firewire and i have this: Conect to server - "Registered User" - ask me for Password ? No Password is setup on booth computer, but it refuse to conect : "Conection Failed" Unknown user, incorrect password ! Strange stuff...
Any help or advise would be great
Many thanks for help in advance !

To connect to another computer on your home network as a registered user, you need to enter the administrator's name and password for the computer you are trying access.

You're posting all over the place .. lots of aggro.. not much gratitude... insufficient info.
Sounds like you're the kind of bloke who needs his hand held a bit more than most ... have you tried calling/visiting your friendly neighbourhood Apple dealer and talking to a specialist. Or approaching an expert consultant ?
I'm not suggesting myself... but I DO support people all over the world - using Net tools like VNC, Timbuktu, Gizmo, Skype... and there are other folks who do it (nearly as well...
Try approaching either of the above - but I'd check the 'attitude'.
(be nice if you thanked some of the folks who've put in time & effort in trying to help you - Free !. - And while I can understad you raging at your computer - however unproductive it may be ... why 'abuse' the helpers ? *"and the rest of you can go to h... !"*
NP
I'll save you a seat .. grin
I don't think I've seen 'Thanks' in any of your posts.
I only accept/keep clients who live up to my standards of courtesy.
You don't appear to.
nevertheless, I wish you well.
Spend a cpl of hundred bucks and get some 'Pro' help (but I'd be polite ... :))

Using USB 2.0 Network Ethernet Adapter for sharing printer with 3 computers

Hi all,
Opposed to using a print server, can I use a USB 2.0 Network Ethernet Adapter to connect my Epson printer over my ethernet DSL router?
Thanks
Web dude

Yea, I thought about an adapter for the USB 2.0 port, but for a few bucks more, get the USB 3.0 adapter and be able to connect to Ethernet at Gigabit speeds!
Since Lenovo has not commented on the absence of an Ethernet port, I'm guessing that the slim height of the Yoga prevents it, unless you go to some funky slide-out module and connect at a 90 degree angle (which would be a worse design). I had an old Thinkpad (or Dell?) with that design, and they are intermittent and subject to being broken off.
Bundling in the Ethernet Adapter would have been a nice touch. Perhaps they were trying not to increase the Yoga's "above market" price further.

Firewire - Internet Sharing - Networking

I have my two apple computers connected via firewire. (Macpro Quad 8GB mem, 2 Video Cards, 3 monitors, airport) The computers see each other and file sharing, file transfer, itunes, and screen sharing all work.
The Macpro has an ethernet card directly connected to my router. My ipod connects to my Macpro via airport. My macbook can also connect to my macpro via airport. But Airport is way to slow so I purchased a firewire cable.
Internet settings are
Share your connection from : Ethernet 1
To computers using Airport; and Firewire
Internet sharing works over airport but not firewire.
On the Macpro I set firewire network up manually
ip 169.254.102.75 255.255.255.0
router 69.123.125.221 (ip address of my ethernet card which has router address 69.123.96.1)
DNS 167.206.254.1
On the macbook firewire is manual
ip address 169.254.102.77 255.255.255.0
router 169.254.102.75 next hop to remote firewrie
dns 167.206.254.1
I also tired to http://69.147.76.15 which is yahoo to rule out dns problems
Any ideas.

My solution was to go ethernet via a router.. No problemo now.

Can I? router - powerbook(ethernet)- airport express(sharing)- ibook(ethe

Can I network in this fashion? router -> powerbook(ethernet)->airport express(sharing)-> ibook(ethernet)
I have only two computers and I am trying to avoid buying a discontinued overpricd airport card
Any help would be great

peebook,
Can you explain your current setup a little more please. I think that this is what you have.
- A router (Wired or wireless? How many ports?)
- A powerbook with an Airport Extreme Card
- An old iBook (Would require an Airport Card)
- An Airport Express
If you have a multi port router, you could go from the router to the Airport Express and the iBook, and then use the Powerbook wirelessly?

How do i migrate files from a imac to macbook pro using an ethernet cable. the migration program asks for firewire and i don't own a fireWire. I do own an ethernet cable though

how do i migrate files from a imac to macbook pro using an ethernet cable. the migration program asks for firewire and i don't own a fireWire. I do own an ethernet cable though

A FW cable would be far faster & Easier, but with Ethernet you need a compatible version of Migration Assistant running on both Macs.

Ethernet- Firewire adaptor Do they work in OSX?

Hi, after reading about the new macbooks I was thinking about getting one to replace my 2 year old macbook pro. But of course theres no firewire, I edit hdv video so no firewire is a no go. Then I read on a forum that there exists ethernet->firewire adaptors, a quick google search came up with one:
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=205852397&SearchEngine=DealTime&Search Term=205852397&Type=PE&Category=Comp&Gad=0&dcaid=15891
I've never heard of converting ethernet into other interfaces and I don't know if the mac would recognize it, but it does seem like the only possible solution.

Ok, for some I agree, the white macbook is more than adequate.
But compare the specs of my black macbook from 2 years ago
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP23
with the specs of the white one for sale now
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP5
There's not much difference. Small increases in processor speed, bus speed and shared video memory. In the computer world I think it's fair to say that's outdated. I'm not saying it's an ancient slug. Since if I were, then my
macbook would be the primordial ooze from which that slug evolved
Bottom line, if someone is in the market for the new aluminum macbook,
and they want firewire, you can't just tell them to step back to the old
white macbook. It's just not a substitute at all.

Use Your MacBook as a Network Bridge in Snow Leopard (10.6.2)

Hey everybody,
I am trying to use my MacBook as a network bridge for my Sony Blu-Ray (BDP-S350) player so it can receive the updates that it needs. I need to know the steps to make your Mac a network bridge. Any Suggestions?

I'll guess that your MacBook connects wirelessly and that your player needs an Ethernet connection. In that case, in OS X 10.5 the way you'd do what you need to is to open the "Sharing" panel of System Preferences, then enable "Internet Sharing" by clicking on the checkbox next to it. Set "Share your connection from" to "AirPort" and below that check the box for Ethernet. The steps for OS X 10.6 are probably similar if not identical.

Firewire Internet Sharing Probs

Hi, looking for help to resolve the following issue: On my Firewire connected cpu, I can't get past the "You are not connected to the internet." dialog in Safari. Reaching the conclusion that one or more of my settings are incorrect.
1st). 24" iMac w/ 10.5.1; connected to Cable modem via Ethernet
(there is a 5-port switch prior to this cpu)
Sharing > Internet Sharing (Firewire) - ON
Network > Ethernet > Manually; IP Address: 69.92.45.xxx - Subnet: 255.255.252.0
Router: 69.92.xx.x
2nd). Dual 1 GHz Quicksilver w/ 10.4.11; connected to 1st cpu via Firewire
Sharing > Internet Sharing (Firewire) - OFF
Network > Ethernet > Manually; IP Address: 69.92.45.(same as above *plus 1*)
Subnet: 255.255.252.0 - Router: 69.92.(same as above)
I can see & browse files within Network > Servers yet, I'm not able to access the internet.
Might anyone have a suggestion for this prob? I have searched for the answers w/ no concise results.
Thank you for any help,
Sim

simoom,
I'm surprised you're getting anything, on either computer. Let's see if we can't get you straightened out.
First, computer #1 needs to get its IP address via DHCP, not manually (unless your ISP has told you otherwise; not very common). Plus, it would be a good idea to get rid of the switch. A switch is OK if it is downstream of a router, which itself acts as an internal DHCP server, but not when connected directly to a modem.
So, computer #1 should be connected directly to the modem. It will talk directly to your ISP's DHCP server and acquire an IP address. It would appear that the Firewire Sharing is set up properly, so this should be fine once an IP address is nailed down.
Second, computer #2 needs to gain an IP address the same way: via DHCP. When computer #1 has Internet Sharing turned on, it acts just a router would, issuing "private" IP addresses to the connected computer(s), then acting as a NAT router. On computer #2, configure a Firewire network port, and set it to look for an IP address via DHCP.

Emac disk utility not detecting ibook hardrive in Firewire mode

ok so i got this ibook g3 (800 mhz version) with no os on it so i hooked it up to my emac via firewire and booted the ibook in the firewire mode. i go into the emac disk utility to format the drive and its not there. i tried booting my emac in fire wire mode and the ibook finds the Emacs drive as a bootable drive. i tried booting the ibook from the drive but all that happed was getting the apple logo with the loading thing below it. i think the ibook is unable of booting since its 10.5.2. so any reason why the disk utility on the emac isnt finding the drive or is it a bad drive?

thanks for the help, i'm pretty sure its a bad drive or a lose connection now, i used my emac restore disk with 10.3 on it and was able to find the disk drive with a disk in it on the ibook in TDM but not the hard drive. guess im going to have to do the 20+ screw surgery on it to put in a new hard drive/look at the connection. i should just save and buy a macbook lol

HT1941 trying to connect time apsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port the airport utility doesn't detect it

trying to connect time capsule to macbook air with the ethernet cable in the WAN port but the airport utility doesn't detect it but when i put it in the LAN one it does but it doesn't let me configure
any ideas?

Isn't it fun trying to do things without an ethernet cable direct to the computer.. Apple sell a usb to ethernet adapter cable fairly cheap.. makes life a lot easier having something to do hard connections.. or as hard as usb can manage.
Since you have to access the TC by wireless .. press and hold the reset button on the TC for about 10sec until front led flashes rapidly.. don't worry about the ethernet cable.. leave it disconnected.
Now click on the airport symbol and join another network. The TC should revert to its home name.. which will be a combo of Time Capsule and its MAC address. There is no wireless security and you can do the setup.

Internet won't work on MacBook Pro unless using ethernet cable

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. We recently got a new NETGEAR N600 wirelesss ADSL2 modem router and when trying to set it up I found I couldnt use my MacBook, we had to use a the old PC to do it. The connection is set up and my iPhone and iPad as well as our PCs have no problem picking up the wireless signal, however I cannot seem to wirelessly connect wiht my MacBook Pro. I hav e to use the ethernet cable if I want to use internet on my MacBook. In Network Preferences it says wi-fi is connected however when I open up Safari it says that there is no connection. My friends have also been experiencing this problem with their macbooks lately.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks

Reboot the modem.

Thanks.
I'm reluctant to wade into this but I noticed that if Mactracker is to be believed, the Early and Late MacBook Pro have the same Model Identifier, which would suggest that the SL installer for the Early MBP might see the Late MBP, which came with Lion, as close enough for government work. While the SL installer wouldn't necessarily be 100% suitable for the Lion Machine and probably wouldn't allow installing over the existing Lion partition, I can imagine it working on a clean partition or external USB or Firewire drive. A 10.6.8 combo updater could then configure the SL installation for the MBP it's actually on.

Ethernet connection and 'shared' option in finder window!!!

I am relatively new to mac and everyday I see something that I don't understand, like the other day I connected to internet using ethernet cable and 'shared' option appeared in finder window with all kinds of people and devices listed. It never happened when I connected through wireless. What does it mean? Are other people able to see my computer and the content on it? Any explanation would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
It's either a PC or some other Hewlett Packard device connected to your network or on another network (probably wirelessly) you're connected to. It's in the Shared section of the Sidebar because it's either broadcasting itself using Bonjour or more likely NetBios. You can choose to not see this option by disabling it in the Finder Preferences.
It's also possible it's your router/gateway/wireless access point.
If you've not enabled personal file sharing and you're not in the habit of handing your account password out to all and sundry, there's nothing to worry about.
