MHP to home network connectivity

Hello,
I have a case where I want to connect from an MHP box to the home network. Say I want to connect to my home PC to transfer some data from the box. Is my only option going through the return channel and the providers servers, create a socket to my home PC and transfer through there? Seems like a bit of a long way to go if they are actually sitting next to each other.
Also, are there any good docs available on the limitations of the MHP as opposed to the full Java SDK on a PC? I have read plenty of docs but am yet to see an explicit coverage on this topic. Any help and references would be great.
thanks,

The SDK-MHP differences are listed in the MHP spec it seems. Its just 1080+ pages so a bit much but buried in there. Thats where I found the differences. I guess you are more interested on the MHP-home network connectivity though.
As for accessing the home network I haven't really found anything clearly stated on that. I will need to do some testing on that myself I guess and make do with using the sockets like the examples do until I find clear answers from somewhere. I'm not sure how to test it though since using the dev kit is not a good example for me as it is all located in the same room. That is even the return channel goes to the same room so it might seem to work even if it doesnt if that makes sence. Someone did tell me it should be easy but I think they regarded it as the same as connecting from any networked device and didn't really have exact knowledge on it. So remains to be seen. Let me know if you find something :).

Why does the iPhone lose home network connection?

My new iPhone 5 keeps losing my home network connection. Any advice? I've tried resetting network settings, turning the phone off and on again and turning the router off and on again. Thanks.

I'm looking into that possibility.......have a cordless phone in the office, a PC, cell phones, etc. Will clear them out and recheck. The maddening thing is that the iBook is totally bulletproof even in that environment. Why would the iMac be having these issues, but not the iBook? Is Airport Extreme more robust, or that much better than Airport?
Even now, the iMac shows no network - yet I'm writing this on the iBook right next to it, and it's had no network interruption whatsoever.
Do you have any knowledge of those "error" notations from the syslog? Could they be pointing to anything else?
Thanks much.....

I loose my home network connectivity after my iMac is awaken. This began after I upgraded to Lion. Is there a fix to this problem?

Get File/Put File Kills Home Network Connection

Recently encountered a problem with Dreamweaver CS5 where when I try and put or get multiple files to my server, I lose internet connection. I don't just mean wireless connection, but my entire home network fails. I have to reset my router to regain connection only to have it happen again. I have tried hardwiring the laptop to the router, same thing. I have tried hardwiring the laptop to the cable modem, same thing. When the network fails, my PC that is hardwired to the router also loses connection. I am currently using the newest generation 17" MacBook Pro, 2.66GHz, 8 GB, with Mac OS X 10.6.4, running Adobe Creative Suite Design Premium CS5. My home network setup includes a Comcast cable modem, hardwired to a Linksys router that provides my wireless network as well as a hardwired connection to my PC. I can connect to my server fine and upload and download multiple files with other FTP programs such as Filezilla, but whenever I use Dreamweaver it kills my internet connection every time. I have tried to find other information on this and have only come across a few others who are experiencing this issue and can not find a solution. Please see the following links:
Seems it was a CS4 problem too: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2448960#2448960
Another person thinking it was a Windows issue: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7programs/thread/88a38e07-f050-4800-a1f7 -7b0570f88eaa
Between these threads and my problem I have narrowed it down to a Dreamweaver issue but can not find any solutions besides using another FTP program which greatly hinders my workflow. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

the problem for me was my network cards driver. I dont know how mac handles drivers but when i changed back to the previous version
of the driver it started working fine. Before that i had to restart my network when i tried to put a big file with DW.

Help! Home network connection Issues!

Help! I have been trying for weeks to connect to my home computer network (which is shared by other computers in the home and there is a central storing/back up point). I use an ethernet cable, sometimes the network shows up and I can access the shared documents/files but other times it does not. There is nothing blocking the connection as other laptops can connect to it straight away. The ethernet cable and port has also been checked, I just cant figure out what i'm doing wrong as it should show up every time I connect - any ideas???

Who set up the network router?
Is it possible that the router is configured for a specific range of IP addresses (let's say 6), and you're not getting 'in' because there are too many devices connected and trying to connect at once?
If you're comfortable tinkering a bit, I'd try creating a new network 'Location' with the specific information for your home network, rather than using the 'Automatic' location default settings.
In System Preferences, Internet and Network, Network, click the Location button, then 'Edit Location'. Now click the 'Gear' and select 'Duplicate Location' to copy the 'Automatic' settings to 'Automatic Copy'.
(Now you can modify the 'Automatic Copy' settings a little at a time, and still get back to 'Automatic' defaults. Then when it's successful, you can later rename it 'Home' or something meaningful, and still have 'Automatic' which is especially useful when you travel elsewhere.)
Before you change anything, in System Preferences, Internet and Network, Network, look on the first Network screen at the Status to see (when) you are connected. When it is working, it should show a message like the following 'Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn' (automaticaly assigned from the DHCP server). If you get IP address conflict notices pop up on this or any of the other attached computers, you should change the Configuration to DHCP with Manual Address.

Home network connection Problem.

Help...my note-book ceased automatically connecting to my home network , i've ticked remember this network etc. but obviously i have to manually reconnect each time i open my n/b, my only solution is to give it a glass of wine like my old windows laptop , but it's a Mac and if some-one could that would be awesome and i could drink the wine instead, sincere thanks Matt.

With WPA connections there could be many things effecting this from working on the iPhone. The easiest way to go about it is try changing the password to something that is 8 characters long and see if that will make a difference. It could be a issue that the password is not long enough or too long.
Another thing that you can try is connect with 128bit WEP and see if it gives you the same issue?

1 of 4 computers on my home network connects to hu...

I have recently installed the BT home hub 2.0. I have 4 computers on my network. 3 of these run on windows XP, and 1 on windows Vista. The 3 XP computers all connect perfectly to the home hub, and can all access the internet. The Vista computer connects to the hub, and sees the other computers on the network. The other computers also see the viista computer, so I'm sure that the connection to the hub is OK, and file sharing and printer sharing works fine. The problem is that the Vista computer cannot get a connection to the internet.
When I run the network diagnose and repair function on te Vista computer, it tells me that the computer is connected to the internet, and there is no problem with the connection.
When I look in the home hub manager, it shows that the broadband connection from the router is fine. It also shows that the vista computer is connected.
However, whatever brouser I try to use I keep getting the message that it cannot display the web page. And when I do the diagnosis, it says there is no internet connection. I have also tried running updates on anti-virus software, and I get a message saying no update possible because there is no internet connection.
Has anybody experienced the same problem? I don't know whether it's a problem with Vista or with the BT hub, or some sort of compatibility problem between the 2. I have checked all the settings I can think of, and have run out of ideas.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sometimes Vista/Windows 7 can have problems with IPv6 connectivity
In Vista go to Control Panel->Network and Sharing and Click on Wireless networks....
A dialogue box called wireless network connection" will appear like this:-
AS you can see from mine, I have no internet acces on Ipv6....
If you are on Ipv6 instead of Ipv4 click "wireless prperties" and in the next dialogue box, uncheck the Ipv6 box but leave Ipv4 checked...I can't remember but you may have to restart the Vista machine..

Home network connection question

Why do you suppose that I'm always prompted for my password when I get on my home network? Same network, same password, etc. the only difference is that this didn't start until I switched from Tiger to Leopard.

Perhaps your keychain became corrupt. Keychain management app is in your Utilities folder.

MacBook Air will not automatically connect to my home network

Hi.
My new MBA has an issue. Every single time I open it, it says none of my preferred networks is available. I connect to my home network every day, but it refuses to automatically connect. All other computers at home do (MacMini, MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac). I select my home network in the WiFi dropdown and it connects just fine. If I close the lid and immediately open it back up, it has already lost the home network connection.
The home network is first in order in preferred networks. Any ideas why this is happening? It's getting to be a pain...
Thanks.

Numerous threads on this issue in the MacBook Air as well as MacBook Pro forums. Unfortunately I've been unable to pinpoint exactly what's the issue, if it is machine specific or OS specific or a particular build of the OS. Mostly because I've been able to replicate the issue across 10.7.1 as well as 10.7.2 on a half dozen different models of machines.

Not Connecting to Wired Network and Forcing the loss of all Connections on the Home Network

Just got a new G550 laptop w/Win 7 OS. Tried to connect to wired router and got message "network cable not connected". Recycled laptop and router and came up with router connected to the laptop. Same message after search and identify steps finished. I then noticed I lost connection to the net/router with my other home networked units as well! Tried another cable, same results along with losing the entire home network connection. Disconnected the G550 from home network, via the cable, and the home network reconnected without any intervention. Tried another reboot directly connected to the cable modem, no go there either!
I also rebooted with the wireless search shutoff and got the same problems as on the wired attempt. Thought it might have been the NIC card so I exchanged the system back at the store. Sorry, same problem!!

I have a very similar problem... New Lenovo G550, running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Right from the start it causes my TrendNet TEW-432BRP router to crash every 10 seconds. I bought a new DLink WBR-1310 and experience the same problem. Connecting to either router through either a wireless connection or a LAN cable connection causes the router to crash every 10 seconds. The router crashes, reboots, establishes a connection with the laptop, communication starts and then the router crashes again.
I am looking for help.

Sharing media across my home network, in more ways than one...

Hi,
Bear with me, because I can only just get my head around this myself:
I would like to have a network accessible hard drive to which I can store all the photos, music and video in my home. The devices accessing it are a MacBook Pro (10.5.3), a MacBook (10.4.11), and a Sony Playstation 3 (whatever the latest update is).
My home network is working correctly, and everything can connect to each other. I currently use Nullrivers MediaLink software to stream my MacBook Pro's content to the Sony Playstation 3, which works as well as it should. I also have an Airport Express (connects to my home network) connected to some speakers, to which both my MBP and my partners MacBook can stream to (we use Airfoil for other audio).
However, I would like to consolidate all our media onto one device, so that we are using the same iTunes library(1), the same iPhoto library(2), and all of our video is also accessible to both of us. Now I know how I would do this using a plain old network attached storage device, but this wouldn't allow me to stream the media to the Playstation 3, as far as I know - the Playstation 3 needs to have some sort of DLNA protocol to access the data. I'd love to be able to fire up the Playstation 3 and show people photos/videos etc, without first having to turn on my MBP.
Now I have looked into this a bit, but I don't know much about network storage, and the only options I have seen are either a DLNA certified NAS, such as those from Buffalo's range, or another computer running as a server (something like a G4 Cube or Mac Mini). The latter option wouldn't be ideal because I would like to have the box wired to my router, which is next to the TV, and I don't want to have to keep a mouse and keyboard hanging around for admin, or need different adaptors to connect it to the TV to see it, besides having the power consumption of another computer running 24/7.
Buffalo's LinkStation Live drives seem reasonably priced, and on paper seem to do everything I would like, but I have been put off by poor reviews, posts on PS3 forums saying they don't work, and also that they are "slow".
So am I stuck with having to look for a cheap Mac Mini, or going with a NAS HDD that might/might not work with the Playstation 3?
We would not have an issue with not being able to share iTunes store purchases, we do not have very many. We would obviously need to be able to sync our iPods from either of our machines, drawing from the main repository, if thats possible.
The ability to access the shared drive remotely would get bonus points, but is in no way necessary.
(1) We would share the same Library file, so that any changes made by either of us would be reflected on each others iTunes windows. If there are issues with two people accessing the same library at the same time, we probably wouldn't run into them because we rarely use iTunes at the same time. This sounds silly but you know what I mean.
(2) Is this even possible with one of the computers running iPhoto '08 and one running iPhoto '06? This isn't a major issue, music sharing being the main one.
Please Help!!

I decided to keep my old 20" Core Duo iMac as a Server in the bedroom, and now use it as a television and PVR as well. I wouldn't have made much on eBay anyway.

Adding new Computer to my Home Network and I have a WRT54GS .V5 Router

I have a existing home network connecting a HP laptop and a Dell desktop and all is well. Now however I bought a new Lenovo laptop with the Vista OS with SP1 and I would like to connect it to my home existing home network. I know this might be a rather simple question BUT I am not great with networks and I set up my home network years ago and I draw a blank on how I did it. There is one CD I found that I marked with the words Remote Linksys Install on it and there is one file on it named NetSetClient. Not sure why I kept it and I do not remember what it does but might help in getting my solution.
Please help the network novice

As your linksys router is configured and its working on 2 other computers perfectly fine, so you dont have to run the CD again on your new computer. Is your new computer is a Wireless computer, So on your New computer, in the system tray, Right click on Two computer Icon and select "Connect to a Network".. selecte your Wireless network... type in your security key and click on Connect. After this try going online.
If you new computer is a Wired computer, Just plug in the cable from your New computer to the Router and you will be able to go Online.

Mountain Upgrade + Missing Network Connections

I just did the recent Mountain upgrade to 10.8.5 and all my printer network connections and my home network connection (which I paid to have set-up) are now missing. Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem.
Thanks in advance.

I can't tell you there is an easy fix because I don't know what's wrong. Requires troubleshooting.
Please start by doing a Safe Boot (it does some repair stuff in the process).
To do a Safe Boot, restart or turn on the computer. After hearing the gong sound, press and hold the Shift key until you see the progress indicator. Then you can release the shift key. Safe Boot will take longer - up to ten or 15 minutes. You can confirm you are in Safe mode by seeing the words Safe Boot at top of login dialog and top of Finder.
Test your internet while in Safe mode. Let us know that result.
Now, restart in normal mode by Not pressing shift.
Again check internet and tell us the result.
If still not working, go to System Preferences, Network prefs, and tell us every thing you see in that dialog box. (left side, what's listed and what color indicator dots by each, etc.)

2 iPads, but can only connect one iPad at a time to my home network. Is this a known issue with Mac/iPads in general?

At home I have a HP PC, netbook and Sony laptop with no connection issues. Last year I bought an iPad 1 for my wife. This year I bought an iPad 2 for myself. However, only one iPad can connect to the wifi home network at a time. If I am using the iPad2 then the iPad1 fails to connect to the internet. if the iPad1 is being used then the iPad2 cannot connect. I tried resetting iPad network settings for both, reset router, and updated both iPads to latest software/firmware yesterday. Right now the only iPad that shows any connection is the iPad1. The iPad2 does not see the home network or any other outside network. Any suggestions or ideas on how to resolve this? It is odd the network issues only affect the iPad's.

@dananova,
It sounds like you need to either increase the number of dynamic IP addresses your router will hand out or change some of your devices to static IP addresses.
Check the router manual on how to change the dynamic IP range of your router. If you don't have a manual, you can go to Belkin's website and download it.
To change the IP address of your iPads to static addresses, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and tap the ">" next to the name of your wireless network. DHCP should be highlighted. Write down the all the settings on the screen. Next tap the Static button. Enter the exact same information that you copied from the DHCP screen with the exception of the last 3 digits of the IP address. Enter a new 3 digit number in this spot. Generally the original IP address will end with a low number such as 009, so pick a number that is not that low but less than 255. I would suggest a range of 240 to 250, unless the original IP range falls near this range. Also make sure you use a different 3 digits for each device you set to use a static IP address.

Tecra A10 - Refurbished - unable to get it connected to my home network

I just got this Tecra A10-104 refurbished Laptop...before I take it back I am asking here just in case theres something I have missed as I am unable to get it connected to my home network.
I am running a Belkin Wireless Router that has 2 main PC's directly connected (LAN), and another PC wirelessly connected.
This is my router: http://www.belkin.com/uk/support/article/?lid=enu&pid=F5D8233uk4&aid=9238&scid=0
All PC's working fine and connected.
Now I'm trying to setup this laptop to connect.
I uninstalled the Vista Business and ussed the XP Pro Product Recovery disc that came with the Tecra.
My WiFi card is: Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 5100 (Driver Date: 27/04/2008 - Driver Version: 12.0.0.73)
It sees the network but no matter what i try just won't connect.
What I have done so far (read before suggesting stuff I have already tried):
Reconfigured routers WPS to Shared Key system.
Made sure the wireless adapter has settings set to 20/40hz (auto)
Restarted router, cable modem & laptop several times
Wireless button on side of Laptop is ON.
FN + F8 to enable WIFI (ON) BLUETOOTH (OFF)
Added wireless network to Auto Connect settings along with SSID and passcode end encryption method.
Clicked connect when network appears in network viewer dialogue and retyped passcode.
Not working.
I should add the Laptop has no problems connecting via its Gigabit LAN port.
Anything else I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Dual post removed.

UPDATE:
The next thing I tried was to reinstall Vista Business from recovery disc to see if this suffered from the same problem.
The wireless connection worked fine on Vista and, despite the updates that I was being offered, worked without needing to update any drivers.
This made me think...so the issue is probably XP DRIVER related.
What I have done now is backup all the driver updates I was told to download by TEMPRO (BIOS & wireless manager updates included).
I think part of the problem is that TEMPRO only works in Vista (not XP) so you are not informed of any updates that may be required if you downgrade to XP straight after purchase (which is what I did).
