Modem router link down in a small network when I connect any mac with OSX

With OS9 I have no problems at all the other machines are PCs, I try whith 2 diferent laptops, and 2 macmini and the internet connection throught a modem router link down inmediatly... and the modem try to connect many times automaticly, and connect for few minutes... after that being link down again... any ideas what the problem is? I think a protocol interference may cause this, but I don't know what really... thanks

Start by changing the wireless names to SMB compatible names.. ie short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Make sure the HP is in range of the router.
You can use the WPS setup via the utility main menu. There is no WPS button as such but apple has had to provide some way to handle this directly.

  • Airport express error 10057.  Also shuts down my entire wifi network when connected

    Tried hard reset.  In the airport utlility I can see it but can't get into the settings to configure it, It's connected to my router via ethernet. The weird part, is when I have it connected to my router my entire wifi is shut down in my house, no devices can get online.  As soon as I disconnect it, my wifi is back to working.  Any ideas what's going on?

    Sounds like you're using the same radio channel in both of your WiFi systems.  Either you should not be using the Airport or you should turn off the radio in the other router.  Then...
    Configuration is simple if you start from a factory default condition.  Then connect the Airport to AC power and finally to your modem/router.  Open Airport Utility on your Mac or other computer and accept all of the recommendations.  After confirming that it works, insert your desired administrative and WiFi passwords.
    Do not expect the Airport to respond instantly to the configuration commands.  BE PATIENT!

  • I just bought an Airport extreme.  I was told I can attach it to my modem/router (one unit) via ethernet cable.  When I use airport utility it tells me the device is not connected or found.  Any input?

    I just bought an Airport Extreme.  Sales rep told me I could plug it into my existing modem/router (one unit) from isp. vie ethernet cable and it would speed up my internet.  When I open airport utility it tells me device is not connected yet my internet still works.  Was the rep wrong about speeding up my internet or is it not compatible with my isp unit?

    Sales rep told me I could plug it into my existing modem/router (one unit) from isp. vie ethernet cable and it would speed up my internet.
    Sorry, but this is not correct. Your Internet connection speed is established by the plan that  you have with your Internet Service Provider. The AirPort Extreme will not "speed it up".
    Unless there is some special feature that the AirPort Extreme provides that you need, adding another wireless router...when you already have one.... is not going to buy you anything.
    The AirPort Extreme is compatible with your modem/router if you want to continue to try to hook it up.  It will really help if you have a Mac for the configuration as the Windows Firewall often blocks connection and configuration attempts.

  • Repeatedly prompted for a wifi network when already connected (iPad Air 2 / iOS 8.1.3)

    Hey there
    Subject says it all: since the iOS 8.1.3 update on my new iPad Air2 Wifi/GSM 128GB, I keep being prompted to choose a wifi network even when already connected to my home network or tethering on my iPhone. It's quite a pain to type a mail when I have to stop every few seconds to answer or cancel this stupid prompt window.
    Oddly enough, it works all right on my iPhone (otherwise, I'd use 4G).
    Anyone's got a nice trick to end that issue? Thanks in advance.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.

  • No network when instantiating a template created with OVAB in Oracle VM 2.2

    Hi,
    I've created an OVM template with OVAB (Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder) and the default OVAB image. When creating a new VM (vm2) with it, the VM starts but the VM cannot access the world outside the bridge (xenbr0). I can however ping another VM (vm1) in the same bridge, I can also ping the main OVM server interface (dom0 xenbr0), but I can't ping a machine on my real network.
    What is strange is that vm1 was installed with PXE and is well accessing outside world. In fact the DHCP server on my real network is working well and is well configured for vm1 and vm2 but only vm1 obtains its IP address. For vm2 no answer from the DHCP server, so I have to manually set the IP address of eth0 of vm2 before performing ping tests. This is another fact that goes in the same direction as "outside network unreachable from vm2 diagnostic".
    Now I understand (correct me if I am wrong) that the bridge is configured automatically by OVM, so why is it ok for vm1 and not for vm2 whereas they are in the same bridge xenbr0 ? Also a strange thing (may be ?) is that the bridges configuration shows a tap interface configured for vm1 but not for vm2:
    'brctl show' output:
    bridge name     bridge id          STP enabled     interfaces
    xenbr0          8000.001e6837f20e     no          vif36.0
                                  vif35.0
                                       tap35.0
                                       eth0
    xenbr1          8000.001e6837f20f     no          eth1
    xenbr2          8000.001e6837f210     no          eth2
    xenbr3          8000.001e6837f211     no          eth3
    vm1 is 35 and has vif35.0 and tap35.0 but vm2 is 36 and has only vif36.0 : could it be the problem ?
    Also vm1 is using ioemu networking driver whereas vm2 is using netfront (which I can't change as I suppose OVAB was using a PV image).
    Thanks for any help/idea.

    Hi,
    I think more this is a networking issue inside the VM.
    It may well be the default Gateway is not set correctly.
    Compare the output (of the working VM and the not working VM) of:
    route
    cat /etc/resolv.conf
    cat /etc/sysconfig/network
    And the network adapters:
    cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

  • Bridge network to capture connections from VM with Arch and VirtualBox

    Hello everyone,
    what I am trying to do is capturing the connections from a VM for malware analysis. It turned out to be a little harder then I thought because I'm absolutely new to arch.
    So what I thought of: Just have a normal host adapter and sniff. But it turned out that the VM does not have a dedicated adapter.
    So the obvious next step would be to create one. I did that via the Host-Only-Adapter menu.
    The problem is, that this is not connected to the internet as it is for the guest only. So what I thought to do was bridging it to my wls1-interface wich is connected to a WiFi.
    My normal way would be:
    brctl addbr capture
    brctl show
    brctl addif capture wls1
    brctl addif capture vboxnet0
    But that does not work with wls1 (it is refused to be linked to that bridge though enp0s25 works well).
    The second thing I thought of was using netctl to build a bridge. This is what I put in /etc/netctl/bridge
    Description="vmbridge"
    Interface=br0
    Connection=bridge
    BindsToInterfaces=(wls1 vboxnet0)
    IP=dhcp
    ## Ignore (R)STP and immediately activate the bridge
    #SkipForwardingDelay=yes
    But the command "sudo netctl start bridge" is just crashing my internet connection.
    So how could I do this in the possibly best and most stable way?
    Thanks for your help

    As you have found out, you cannot create a (Ethernet) bridge with a wireless interface. That is not going to work, whether you use brctl directly, or netctl.
    If you would like to setup everything quickly and do not mind capturing everything (including host traffic), then just run dumpcap/tcpdump on the wireless interface.
    If you are not stuck to VBox, try QEMU. Example command:
    qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 2G -hda disk.qcow2 -net dump,file=dump.pcap -net user -net nic,model=e1000
    -enable-kvm: enable KVM virtualization acceleration (requires Intel VT-x or the AMD equivalent). Remove if your machine does not support it.
    -m 2G: assign 2GB RAM
    -hda disk.qcow2: disk image created with qemu-img create -f qcow2 disk.qcow2 16G (16 GB disk image)
    As you need to tap on the network, let QEMU create a hub network with three devices:
    -net dump,file=...: hub network with
    -net user: the host connection (you could also use tap, bridge, etc. if needed)
    -net nic,model=...: the guest network connection
    See the manual page qemu and the wiki for further details.

  • I have to MBPs one one wifi network; when one connects, the other disconnects.  Can't keep them both connected.  Any advice?

    Hello,
    We have two MBPs on an Asus router (N56U) and we find that only one computer can connect at a time.  Within a few seconds of the other connecting, the one that was connected disconnects.  When we try to log on again, we're told that the connection timed out.  Or it "connects" but there is no internet.  Any advice?
    Thank you!
    Christian

    Hi Silvergc,
    Thank you for this.  I agree:  the problem seems to be either the router or the modem.  I now have an Airport Extreme and am hoping this solves the problem.
    Only now I have another problem--the airport utility can't find the airport extreme if I plug in an external harddrive into the airport extreme.  I should start another thread for this, yes?
    Thanks again Silvergc.
    Yours,
    Christian

  • Third party network software to connect SnowLeopard Mac Pro to OS 9 G4?

    Since Apple pulled AppleTalk from Snow Leopard, I'm wondering if there is a third party bit of software out there that would allow me to connect a MacPro running Snow Leopard to a G4 running OS 9.
    In the meantime I will be going back to 10.5, but I'd much prefer to have my MacPro running the latest greatest...

    It doesn't work. From what I can gather, Snow Leopard requires AFP 3.0 to connect. Mac OS 9 only went to AFP 2.2. This has nothing to to with AppleTalk, which hasn't been used for file sharing in some time. It's just an incompatible version of AFP.

  • Link down and Link Up Snmp trap C#

    Hi i've configure my cisco router to receive the SNMP traps if the link goes up or down. However i found out that when i plugged out the cable i'm not receiving any link down on the network management system. Until i plugged in again the link will then show up or down state. May i know whats the reason why i can't receive the link down when i plugged out my cable?

    If your router has only fa0/0 as active interface, then this would be the interface that the router would use to communicate with the network management system. However when you unplug that interface now the router has no interface that it can use to send the link down trap to the network management system.

  • C7280 All-in-One connected wirelessly to a modem-router needs a password when powered-up.

    Do you have any examples of wirelessly connecting an HP Photosmart C7280-All-in-One to a network run by a NetComm NB6Plus4W modem-router? The modem-router also attaches a Windows XP desktop computer using an ethernet cable and a Windows XP laptop computer wirelessly using the default SSID (wireless) and password (a1b2c3d4e5).
    The wireless connection between the modem-router and the laptop comes up automatically when the modem-router and laptop are powered-up.
    The wireless connection between the modem-router and the HP Photosmart does not establish automatically. When I power-up the HP Photosmart I then have to use the setup button on the Photosmart and manually type in to the Photosmart the password (a1b2c3d4e5). The SSID displays as wireless, it does not have to be retyped.
    Do you know if there is any NetComm or HP configuration which will cause automatic setup of the HP Photosmart to occur when it is powered-up?
    What I am complaining about is having to manually type in the HP's password to the HP whenever the HP is powered-up.

  • Weak Wi-fi signal from Actiontec GT704WG B modem/router - need help troubleshooting!

    I have been using a Verizon-provided Actiontec GT704WG B modem/router for a few years as my Verizon DSL connection. I connect my main computer to the GT704WG B via one of the Ethernet ports - no problem with this.   I also have a laptop that (usually) makes a wi-fi connection to the GT704WG B. However, the wi-fi connection frequently slows down enourmously or dies entirely, at random times. The laptop is located downstairs from the modem/router, which is about the farthest physical location in ther house from the GT704WG B.
    This may be a distance problem that might be solved by bringing the modem physically closer to the laptop,  but I'm puzzled why the problem is intermittent. It's also possible that there is something wrong with the GT704WG B, that is causing it to transmit a weak signal. 
    Any suggestions for troubleshooting this problem appreciated.
    I'd also like to know if anyone can suggest a router or range extender that might relay a stronger signal downstairs. Or should I try getting a more current modem/router from Verizon? That GT704WG B is a bit old...

    You're welcome. I suspect there may be some confusion on which is which going on here. Repeaters and Access Points are two different things. Repeaters are single radio devices in most cases where the repeater takes the signal it is receiving from your router, and then re-broadcasts it. When this is done, half of the radio bandwidth goes towards receiving or sending data to and from your router. The other half of the radio bandwidth is spent transmitting to or receiving data from your devices that are connected to the repeater. It's similar to the game of Telephone. A direct connection to the network is faster, but if you must repeat the message over a medium you introduce delay. So, in more technical terms, a Wireless connection that operates at 20Mbps download or upload (Wireless is half duplex by nature) will operate at 10Mbps download or upload when attached to a repeater, since 10Mbps of the 20Mbps the repeater's radio can do is being used to transmit the message to one end.
    In some additional terms since this part of my post got chopped off, what an Access Point is would be essentially another wireless radio with a direct, wired connection to your network. It can be thought of as an Expressway. Each device chooses the best wireless signal to use in your network (Router or Wireless Access Point) and then has a connection directly into the network. Both radios can run at 20Mbps and a single device will be able to get 20Mbps from either unit. These require more work but in heavy wireless usage environments, it makes sense to use access points.

    Thanks for the advice re. changing the channel. I'll try that. Since there seem to be about a dozen networks around here that mayne causing interference, that might help.
    Verizon tech support advised me that an access point would cut my bandwidth, but that a range extender would not. (????)  I have installed a range extender but I'm not sure it has made any difference. The problem has not happened since I did that, but since it is intermittent, I don't think that proves that the problem is solved.  AFAICS, the wireless speed has not changed in any significant way.

  • Do you have to set up AE inBridge mode with existing wireless modem router?

    Hi
    I've just bought the AE and Apple TV. My plan was to basically use my existing Netgear wireless modem router for the internet only and set up the AE as the wireless router. I also bought the AE to boost the strength, print wirelessly and I thought it might work better with the Apple TV. The other things I use on my home network are ipad, iphone 4, HP DV6 Notebook, Toshiba Notebook and PS3.
    I've plugged the Netgear into the AE with an Ethernet cable. I initially started with the "replace existing access point with AE", as I thought I was replacing the Netgear with the AE. This option left me with internet working and a blinking amber light on the AE.
    I then did a hard reset and started again. I diabled the wireless on my old modem/router and chose the "create wireless network" option in airport utility. I think it worked because I have internet and a green light but to be honest I have no idea what I did. I know it's in bridge mode but only because I didn't know how to set up the other options.
    Also, I've ended up with three networks out of this process. The default network for the AE (but it has one of those yellow error icons next to it in the available network list), the one I set up and a 5ghz of the one I set up. Neither the default network of the 5ghz network show up in the Internet and Networking control panel, which is where I delete them. I just thought this was odd.
    What I'd like to know:
    Do you have to set it up in bridge mode when you have an existing wireless modem/router?
    If not, is there any benefit to setting the AE up as the router instead of using the Netgear?
    If I create a new network should the default network still be showing up in my list of available networks or have I done something wrong?
    If I have a 5ghz network, does that mean that the other network I created is only 2.4ghz or is it still dual band?
    Considering the devices I have would it be beneficial for me to have a 5ghz network for certain devices only like the Apple TV?
    As you can probably tell I have no idea what I am doing. I'm basically just clicking stuff and seeing if it works.
    Any help/advice is much appreciated
    Thanks

    Hello Jo Sugden. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Do you have to set it up in bridge mode when you have an existing wireless modem/router?
    You don't have to but, most likely, it will be the best configuration choice when you have the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) connected to your main Internet router by Ethernet. In this configuration, all NAT & DHCP services will continue to be provided by the Netgear router. This will allow all wired or wireless clients connected to the AEBSn to get their IP address (and be on the same subnet) from the Netgear ... and this would allow clients connected to either router to "see" each other.
    If not, is there any benefit to setting the AE up as the router instead of using the Netgear?
    If, for some reason, you wanted to create a separate subnet, configuring the AEBSn as a router would allow for this.
    If I create a new network should the default network still be showing up in my list of available networks or have I done something wrong?
    By default, your AEBSn will create two wireless networks with the same Network Name; one broadcasting in the 5 GHz band, and the other in the 2.4 GHz band. The default name for both of these will be Apple Network NNNNNN. You have the option, within the AirPort Utility, to change the names of each network.
    When connected by Ethernet, and in bridge mode, it would be beneficial to name your AEBSn's networks the same as that provided by the Netgear. This would create what is called a "roaming" network ... where you literally can roam with a laptop from one router to the other and still be on the "same" network. This also is a way to extend the wireless range of the Netgear.
    If I have a 5ghz network, does that mean that the other network I created is only 2.4ghz or is it still dual band?
    As a minimum, you will have three wireless networks: one provided by the Netgear and two provided by the AEBSn. By giving them all the same Network Name, they will appear as one to any wireless client. However, they will all show up in a utility like iStumbler or AirRadar.
    Considering the devices I have would it be beneficial for me to have a 5ghz network for certain devices only like the Apple TV?
    Yes. Operating a wireless network in the 802.11n Radio Mode in the 5 GHz Radio Band offers the best potential bandwidth ... around 300+ Mbps. The only real drawback of the higher frequency band is that the signal strength drops off more rapidly with distance than in the lower frequency band. Also higher frequencies cannot penetrate objects (like walls) as well.
    Ideally, you would want to place your Apple TV or other streaming devices in the same room as the 5 GHz network ... or connect them to the router by Ethernet.

  • IChat Tiger 3.1.4 (v432) resets my DSL modem/router

    iChat has always worked untill one month ago on old speedtouch home. Frequent disconnects in the middle of a video conference. Now I have ne new modem/router form my provider, Speedtouch 546, and have internet connection. iChat can start up and connect to the net, see my buddies but can never initiate or accept a video conference. I click "accept" but it reports as if I have declined the invitation. Then ALL lights on my modem turn off, and it will reboot itself.
    I have looked at Ralph's pages and opened my mac OS X firewall and have opened the port on my speedtouch in the NAPT section.
    But...no way of testing if it works.

    Hi Aram,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions
    Alcatel Speedtouch 500 series have SIP, a protocol iChat and VoIP devices and apps use, bound to port 5060.
    In earlier devices that have version 4.x.x firmware this can be unbound. See here in the white text box a bit further down the page http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html#_text
    Now later devices (normally ending in 6) or those others that have version 5 or 6 firmware can not unbind SIP from port 5060.
    The one solution that has been foound has been to put the device in Bridge mode.
