MVIX Ethernet and more

Newbie to wireless...
I moved my computer in the house and had to set up a wireless network. I have an MVIX that I used to connect my USB cable to instead of transferring files wirelessly due to the time frame it took to transfer a 4gig DVR file.
The USB cable cannot be left hooked up to the MVIX, it has to be disconnected each time I want to use the MVIX.
I hooked up an ethernet cable from the Linksys to the MVIX hoping the transfer rate might be improved wirelessly. But I cannot figure out how to find the mvix in the wireless system. On the easy link advisor, the MVIX is there.
When i plugged in my USB before, and turned on the MVIX, a drive letter opened up and I had access to the MVIX hard drive and could easily transfer files. I don't know how to do that with having the MVIX connected to the Linksys with an ethernet cable, AS WELL AS if transferring a 4gig file this way is in now way going to be any better and I am wasting my time.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Edward

So would I and...I did that already.
Functionality of the MVIX and using its wireless capabilities are not an issue. How to find a shared folder through the Linksys system is the issue. I don't know where to go look for the folder once it is shared. I have a desktop connecting wirelessly and a laptop wirelessly and the MVIX through the ethernet port. I don't know how to find the shared folder.

I want a new and more powerful (non-Apple) wireless router but I still want to use my existing Time Capsule to continue with my Time Machine backups and I still need the Time Capsule's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features and capabilities

THE SHORTER STORY
My goal is to successfully use my existing Time Capsule (TC) with a new and more powerful wireless router. I need a new and more powerful wireless router in order to reach a distant Denon a/v receiver that is physically located in a master bedroom some 50 feet away from my modem. I need to provide this Denon a/v receiver with an Internet connection so that it can obtain its firmware updates and I need to connect this Denon a/v receiver to my network in order to use its AirPlay feature. I believe l still need the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) features because I am not sure if the new wireless router will provide me with the NAS like features / capabilities I need to share files between my two Apple laptops with OS X 10.8.2. And I know that I absolutely need my TC's seamless integration with Apple's Time Machine (TM) application in order to continue to make effortless backups of my two Apple laptops. To my knowledge nothing works with TM like Apple's TC. I also need the hard disk storage space built into the TC.
I cannot use a long wired Ethernet cable connection in this apartment and I cannot use power-line adapters. I have read that wireless range extenders and repeaters are difficult to successfully set-up and that they will reduce data speeds, especially so when incorrectly set-up. I cannot relocate my modem and/or primary base station wireless router.
In short, I want to use my TC with my new and more powerful wireless router. I need to stop using the TC to connect to the modem. However, I still need the TC for seamless TM backups. I also need to use the TC's built in hard drive for storage. And I may still need the TC's NAS capabilities to share files wirelessly between laptops because I am assuming the new wireless router will not provide NAS capabilities for OS X 10.8.2 (products like this/non-Apple products rarely seem to work with OS X 10.8.2/Macs to provide NAS features and capabilities). Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone please advise on how to set-up my new Asus wireless router with my existing TC in such a way to accomplish all of this?
What is the best configuration or set-up to accomplish my above goals?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!!!
THE FULL STORY
I live in an apartment building where my existing Time Capsule (TC) is located in my living room and serves many purposes. Specially, my TC is at least all of the following:
(1) Wi-Fi router connected to Comcast Internet service via Motorola SB6121 cable modem - currently the TC is the Wi-Fi base station that connects to the modem and has the gateway address to the Internet. The TC now provides the DHCP service for the Wi-Fi network.
(2) Wireless router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to several Wi-Fi clients - two Apple laptop computers, an iPod touch, an iPad and an iPhone all connect wirelessly to the Internet via the TC.
(3) Wired Ethernet router providing Internet and Wi-Fi network access to three different devices - a Panasonic TV, LG Blu-Ray player and an Apple TV each use one of the three LAN ports on the back of the TC to gain access to the Internet.
(4) Primary base station in my attempt to extend my wireless network to a distant (located far away) Denon a/v receiver requiring a wired Ethernet connection - In addition to the TC, which is my primary base station, I am also using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. I cannot use a wired Ethernet connection to continuously travel from the living room to the master bedroom. The distance is too great as I cannot effectively hide the Ethernet cable in this apartment.
(5) Time Machine (TM) backup facilitator - I use my TC to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops using Apple's Time Machine (TM) application. However, I ran out of storage space on my TC and therefore added external storage to it. Specifically, I added an external hard drive to my TC via the USB port on the back of the TC. I now use this added external hard drive connected to the TC via USB as the destination storage drive for my TM back-ups. I have partitioned the added external hard drive, and each of the several partitions all have enough storage space (e.g., each of the two partitions used by TM are sized at three times the hard drive space of each laptop, etc.). Everything works flawlessly.
(6) Network Attached Storage (NAS) - In addition to using the TC's Network Attached Storage (NAS) capabilities to wirelessly back-up two Apple laptops via TM, I also store other additional files on both (A) the hard drive built into the TC and (B) the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB (there are additional separate partitions on this drive for these other additional and non-TM backup files).
I use the TC's NAS feature with my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Again, everything works wirelessly and flawlessly. (Note: the Apple TV is connected to the network via Ethernet and a LAN port on the back of the TC).
The issue I am having is when I try to listen to music via Apple's AirPlay in the master bedroom. This master bedroom is located at a distance of two rooms away from the TC's current location in the living room, which is a distance of about 50 feet. This apartment has a long rectangular floor plan where each room is connected to the next in a straight line. In order to use AirPlay in the master bedroom I am using a second extended Wi-Fi base station (a Netgear branded product) to wirelessly extend my WiFi network to a Denon receiver located in the master bedroom and requiring a wired Ethernet connection. This additional base station connects wirelessly to the WiFi network provided by my TC and then gives my Denon receiver the wired Ethernet connection it needs to use AirPlay. I have tried moving my iTunes music directly onto my laptop's hard drive, and then I used AirPlay on this same laptop to connect to the Denon receiver. I always get a successful connection and the song plays, but the problem is that the connection inevitably drops.
I live in an apartment building and all of the many wireless routers in this building create a great deal of WiFi interference on both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz bands. I have tried connecting the Netgear product to each the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, but neither band can successfully maintain a wireless connection between the TC and the Netgear product. I also attempted to maintain a wireless connection to an iPod touch using the 2.4 GHz band and AirPlay on this iPod touch to play music on the Denon receiver. Again, I was able to establish a connection and successfully play music, but after a few minutes the connection dropped and the music stopped playing. I therefore have concluded that I have a poor wireless connection in the master bedroom. I can establish a connection, but it is intermittent with frequent drops. I have verified this with both laptops by working in the master bedroom for an entire day on both laptops. The Internet connection in this master bedroom proved to drop out frequently - about once an hour with the laptops. The wireless connection and the frequency of its dropout are far worse with the iPod touch and an iPhone.
I cannot relocate the TC. Also, this is an apartment and I therefore cannot extend the range of my network with Ethernet cable (I cannot drill through walls/ceilings, etc.). It is an old building with antiquated wiring and power-line adapters are not likely to function properly, nor can I spare the direct power outlet required with a power-line adapter. I simply need every outlet I can get and cannot afford to block any direct outlet.
My solution is to use a more powerful wireless router. I found the ASUS RT-AC66U Dual-Band Wireless-AC1750 Gigabit Router which will likely provide a better connection to my wireless Internet in the master bedroom than the TC. The 802.11ac band of this Asus wireless router is totally useless to me, but based on what I have read I believe this router will provide a stronger connection at greater distances then my TC. And I will be ready for 802.11ac when it becomes more widely available.
However, I still need to maintain the TC's ability to work seamlessly with TM to backup my two laptops. Also, I doubt the new Asus router will provide OS X 10.8.2 with NAS like features and capabilities. Therefore, I still would like to use the TC's NAS capabilities to share files on my network wirelessly assuming the Asus wireless router fails to provide this feature. I need a new and more powerful wireless router, but I need to maintain the TC's NAS features and seamless integration with TM. Finally, I want to continue to use my Apple laptop and AirPlay to wirelessly access and play my iTunes music collection stored on the TC's hard drive. I also want to continue to use my Apple laptop, AirPlay and Apple TV to wirelessly watch movies and TV shows stored on the additional external hard drive connected to the TC via USB. Can someone advise on how to set-up my existing TC with this new Asus wireless router in such a way to accomplish all of this?

In regards to a Plan B, I hear ya brother. I am already on what feels like Plan Z. Getting WiFi to a far off room in an apartment building crowded with WiFi routers is a major pain.
I am basing my thoughts on the potential of a new and more powerful router reaching the far off master bedroom based on positive reviews on cnet.com, pcmag.com and pcworld.com. All 3 of these web sites have reviewed the Asus RT-AC66U 802.11AC wireless router as well as its virtual twin cousin 802.11n router. What impressed me is that all 3 sites rated this router #1 overall in terms of both range and speed (in both the 802.11n and 802.11AC flavors). They tested the router in real world scenarios where the router needed to compete with a lot of other wireless routers. One of the sites even buried this Asus router in a media room with thick walls and inside a media cabinet. This Asus router should be able to serve my 2.4 GHz band wireless clients (iPod Touch and iPhone 4) with a 2.4GHz Wireless-N band offering some 50 feet of dependable range and a 60 Mbps throughput at that range. I am hoping that works, but it's borderline for my master bedroom. My 5 GHz wireless clients (laptops) will enjoy a 5GHz Wireless-N band offering 150 feet of range and a 200 Mbps throughput at that range. I have no idea what most of that stuff means, but I did also read that Asus could reach 300 feet and I got really excited. My mileage may vary of course and I'm sure I'm making some mistakes in my interpretation of their data. However, my Winter 2009 Time Capsule was rated by cnet.com to deliver real world performance of less than that, and 802.11AC may or may not be useful to me someday. But when this Asus arrives and provides anything other than an excellent and consistent wireless signal without drops in the master bedroom it's going right back!
Your solution sounds great, but I have some questions. I'm using OS X 10.8.2 and Airport Utility (version 6.1 610.31) and on its third tab labeled "Wireless" the top option enables you to set "Network Mode" to either:
Create a wireless network
Extend a wireless network
Off
Given your advice to "Turn off the wireless on the TC," should I set Network Mode to Off? Sorry, I'm clueless in regards to how to turn off the wireless on the TC any other way. Can you provide specific steps on how to turn off the wireless on the TC? If what I wrote is correct then what should the rest of this Wireless tab look like, or perhaps it is irrelevant when wireless is off?
Next, what do you mean by "Configure the TC in Bridge Mode?" Under Airports Utility's fourth tab labeled "Network" the top option "Router Mode" allows for either:
DHCP and Nat
DHCP Only
Off (Bridge Mode)
Is your advice to Configure the TC in Bridge Mode as simple as setting Router Mode to Off (Bridge Mode)? If yes, then what should the rest of this "Network" tab look like? Anything else involved in configuring the TC in Bridge Mode or is it really as simple as setting the Router Mode to "Off (Bridge Mode)"?
How about the other tabs in Airport Utility, can they all stay as is assuming I use the same network name and password for the new Asus wireless router? Or do I need to make any other changes to the TC via Airport Utility?
Finally, in regards to your Plan B suggestion. I agree. But do you have a Plan B for me? I would greatly appreciate any alternative you could provide. Specifically, if you needed a TC's Internet connection to reach a far off corner of your home how would you do it? In the master bedroom I need both a wired Ethernet connection for the Denon a/v receiver and wireless Internet connection for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Power-Line Adapters - High Cost, Blocks at Least One Wall Outlet and Does Not Solve the Wireless Need
I actually like exactly one power-line adapter, which is the D-Link DHP-540 PowerLine AV 500 4-Port Gigabit Switch. This D-Link power-line adapter plugs into your wall outlet with a normal sized plug (regular standard power cord much like any other electronic device) instead of all of the other recommended power-line adapters that not only use at least one wall outlet but also often block the second outlet. You cannot use a power strip with a power-line adapter which is very impractical for me. And everything about my home is strange and upside down. The wiring here is a disaster and I don't have faith in its ability to carry Internet access from the living room to the master bedroom. And this D-Link power-line adapter costs $90 each and I need at least two to make the connection to the Denon A/V receiver. So, $180 on this solution and I still don't have a dependable drop free wireless connection in the master bedroom. The Denon might get its Ethernet Internet connection from the power-line adapter, but if I want to use an iPhone 4 or iPod Touch to stream AirPlay music to the Denon wirelessly (Pandora/iTunes, etc.) from the master bedroom the wireless connection will not be stable in there and I've already spent $190 on just the two power-line adapters needed.
Extenders / Repeaters / Wirelessly Extending the Wireless Network
I have also read great things about the Amped Wireless High Power Wireless-N 600mW Gigabit Dual Band Range Extender (Repeater) SR20000G and the My Net Wi-Fi Range Extender. The former is very powerful and the latter is easier to install. Both cost about $150 ish so similar to a new Asus router. However, everything I read about Range Extenders points to them not being very effective for a far off corner of your house wherein it's apparently hard to place the range extender in the sweet spot where it both gets a strong enough signal to actually effectively extend the wireless signal and otherwise does not reduce network throughput speeds to unacceptable speeds.
Creating a Roaming Network By Hard Wiring with Ethernet Cable - Wife Would Say, "**** No!"
Even Apple seems to warn against wirelessly extending your network (see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145#) and otherwise strongly recommends a roaming network where Ethernet cable is used to connect two wireless base stations. However, I am in an apartment where stringing together two wireless base stations with Ethernet cable would have an extremely low wife acceptance factor (WAF). I cannot (both contractually and from a skill prospective) hide Ethernet wire in the walls or ceiling. And having visible Ethernet cable running from room-to-room would be unacceptable, especially to the wife.
So what is left? Do you have a Plan B for me? Thanks in advance for your help!

Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"? No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...

Why does my Airport Express say "self assigned IP address"? No IP address for the ethernet, and it is not connecting to my cable router any longer...

Some cable providers.....like mine, a well known company......seem to take anywhere from a few moments to sometimes up to 30 minutes to allow their equipment back at the cable company to fully reset and issue a new fresh connection.
So, it would not hurt to leave things powered down for 15-20 minutes or more when you perform the reset that John Galt suggests.

Can I use thunderbolt Ethernet and VGA?

Is it possible to simultaneously connect a thunderbort ethernet and VGA adapter?
I'm fairly certain there is no hub available for Thunderbolt, but I'm not sure if there is perhaps an Ethernet or VGA dongle with a second port on it to daisy chain.
I am aware of the USB Ethernet dongle Apple sells but it would be nice to have an option that doesn't eat up the scarce USB ports.

Indeed, there are 'hubs' for Thunderbolt available.

Have Access to HD by ethernet and internet by wifi

Hi,
I use Time Capsule by Gigabit Ethernet, because I need fast access to it disk, with my iMac. Now I bought an iPhone and want to use it Wifi to access the internet.
But when I turn on the internet by Wifi, my iMac access the disk of Time Capsule by Wifi (a lot more slow). If I change the order of network service (putting Ethernet in first, to access the HD faster) I can't access internet in my iMac.
*How can I force the iMac to access the disk by ethernet and the internet by wifi?*
Thank you,
Paulo

Depending on the details of your configuration, you shouldn't have to use both modes. You should be able to do both things over Ethernet.
Yeah! Before I buy my iPhone, the Wifi of Time Capsule was Off. And I used only the ethernet to have access to the disk and for the internet.
But now that I turn on the Wifi, I cant access the internet by Ethernet with my iMac (as I said before).
Besides the Time Capsule and (presumably) a broadband modem, do you have any other networking equipment? if so, how is everything connected?
In your Time Capsule, what are the settings for these things?
- AirPort/Wireless/Wireless Mode
- Internet/Internet COnnection/Connection Sharing
I have a modem and a Switch. But the Switch is only for connect a PC, and printers in my network. The 2 iMacs that I have here are connect direct in Time Capsule.
I always configure my ethernet manualy. With IP and every thing. Here:
IP: 192.168.0.11
Sub mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.0.1
DNS: 192.168.0.1, 156.154.70.1, 156.154.71.1
This always works to access the disk and the internet with wifi off.
Now I turned on the wifi of Time Capsule:
Mode: Create a wifi network
Mode: 802.11n
channel: Automatic
Security: WPA2 Personal
Thank you for you time and help my. And if you need more information just ask.
Best regards,
Paulo

Can't I just plug in the ethernet and go?

I thought imacs were easy. I've been reading on here about these people have problems connecting to the internet, and when I read on the set-up pages, it's like you have to have a lot of information (dns, isp, etc...) to put in. It kind of seems complicated. I was hoping it would work with any pc I've ever had; I would just plug the ethernet cable running from my linksys wrt54g version 2.0 which is hooked up to my cable modem. And it would just work. Tell me these are random cases of people having problems and I can just plug in my ethernet and it will work and maybe even detect the wireless connection on its own. Which I'll run it wired because I have the cables and it's not a problem to. Shine some light on me. - Thanks.

It's almost always plug-and play for wired ethernet. That is to say, most people use a router that has DHCP which will permit your machine to automatically configure itself. With wireless it may be a little more complicated in that you need to know the name of the router you want to connect too (they have names because there could be several in the area) and what encryption method and key is used (because you're transmitting over radio, so no encryption would mean anyone close enough can listen in).
However, even when you use a wired network, there are times where you're going to want to not have the machine automatically use setting provided by the router but rather specify your own. For example, if you want to access services on your Mac from a machine elsewhere on the Internet, the Mac will need to have a fixed IP address and the router will need to be told to forward those requests directly to your Mac.
This is not a Mac-specific situation either. The exact same holds for Windows and Linux as well. All of them are simply plug-it-in-and-it-works until you want to do something special, in which case you need to now how to tell it.

I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow. I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same. Yesterday, I updgraded to Safari 5.1 and the problem is now worse. Any solutions?

I allowed Apple updates about two weeks ago and now Safari is way too slow. I have tried using Airport and Ethernet and the problem is the same. Yesterday, I upgraded to Safari 5.1 and now the problem is worse. Any solutions?

I can't stand peremptory affirmations like "Nothing is wrong with Safari".
Thousands of users can't be wrong (see the discussions).
If I read you the right way, it's never software' fault, it's the user who's the culprit.
Amazing!
In this very case, the fact is we can't give to "christinefromfonthill" a good solution because weren't sitting in front of her Mac.
You give her a good advice which could, perhaps, lead to an improvement.
But must also admit that Safari is a very slow browser compared to Firefox or Chrome.
And you can't ignore all the problems which arose when upgrading to Lion and were related to the new build and specs of Safari 5.1.
The best example is the apparition of "garbage type" (use of Last Resort font) when reading numerous sites. This never occured before and is the direct consequence of Safari compliance to Web Open Type. This standard prohibits the use of Type 1 Postscript Fonts and is the reason why so many people are in trouble.
I use a Mac for more than 25 years.
I am a very "clean" user who hates the bells and whistles of third party.
My Mac is always up-to-date and despite all my Mac loving care, I run into some problems.
Imagine the nightmare which can occurs for the vulgum pecus who isn't, by definition, a power user aware of all the requirements for running a System in optimal conditions.
May be Safari is one step in advance on its time but lambda users are paying the price for it.

FI 6248 Pre Licenced ports(1-12) configuration for Ethernet and FC

Hello UCS Gurus,
I am setting up a new UCS lab with 1 5108 Chassis,pair of FI 6248 and FEX2104.My query about the FI 6248 is that
1) I have 12 pre-licenced Unified ports on my FI 6248 and I need to configure 1-10 for Ethernet and 11th/12th for FC port.,,,,Is it a valid configuration?
2) If yes tomorrow if I buy the licence for the remaining ports 13-32. Can i continue using them as Ethernet and FC ports in alternate.I know
Ethernet ports/FC ports must be grouped together in a block and they should end with even numbered port.
Looking for your response on this....

Hello Padma,
I am stucked at a point of configuration on my lab and need your valuable advice.
I have 8 SFP-H10GB-CU3M and 4 Nos SFP-10G-SR in my BOM.
My confusion is I have to accomodate these SFPs only in my currect environment.I cant wait for the entire process of re-ordering new SFPs.
So I will have to split SFPs between the pair of FIs and IOMs.
So is it that I am short of SFPs? because my understanding says that I will be needing atleast 4 SFPs(Cu) on both FIs.
So for FI1----> 2 SFPs(Cu) for Server ports,2 SFPs(Cu) for Uplink Ethernet ports
for FI2------> 2 SFPs(Cu) for Server ports,2 SFPs(Cu) for Uplink Ethernet ports
That means all my 8 SFP-H10GB-CU3M are exhausted.
I dont have more SFPs to connect to my 2104 IO Modules.Please suggest me some workaround.I am in process of creating a lab so performance and bandwidth is not an issue for me.
Regards
Deepak

Z87 GD 65 Gaming - Enable Ethernet and system freezes

Guys
New build
Z87 GD65 Gaming
OCZ Nocti mSATA 128Gb
i5 4670k
Crucial M4 128Gb
Crucial Ballistix 1600 x 16Gb
Win 7 x64
Things went ok for the first couple of days using my old build on the M4 SSD I just had to add the new drivers.
Then system started freezing as the desktop was loading, nothing worked so a power cycle was required. Got progressively worse. Rebuilt on Crucial M4 and all ok until Ethernet drivers were added and more instant freezes.
From safe mode I disabled the NIC and all booted up with no issues, enabled NIC and there was an instant freeze again.
Cleaned the killer drivers out using the cleaner and reinstalled the stickied drivers, still froze.
Several steps left to test - I'll install onto a SATA HD to take out the SSD issues.
I'll install a standalone intel NIC and see what happens?
Other than that looks like its a bad board Will see what SCANS returns policy is like
Cheers
Simon
Found out that there were issues with freezing with Crucial SSD's so rebuild onto the mSATA and all looked ok, until I added the Ethernet drivers and the freeze occurred again. Rebuilt

Just thought I'd update my 'fix' - I hate it in forums when you don't see what the fix was!!
After several rebuilds I noticed that my Win 7 OS DVD was an old one and didn't have SP1!!! When I reolved that and only used the bare ethernet drivers I had no more NIC issues.
After about a week my ASUS 6850 stopped working, no display not even BIOS, so started using the internal GPU. I decided to try properly cleaning the AMD drivers out and re installing and to my relief everything now works
Not the smoothest build I've ever done. Never used MSI boards before always been an ASUS user, but not impressed with supplied software for the boards.
cheers
Simon

Express - extreme and more expresses

Short version: Is there any disadvantage to be had from placing an extreme downstream of an express? Is there any reason why the extreme ought to be the centre of the network with other devices (expresses and possibly even another extreme) downstream of it?
Here is the longer version and my thinking:
I am about to move to a new flat which features two ethernet points in every room, connected by wire to a main box in the hall.
A big part of my current (and future) setup is about air-playing music to different rooms (often several rooms at the same time) using airport, and I am sure that doing this via ethernet will mean fewer dropouts, which is great.
I have been toying around with various different network shapes in my head.
The main thing that occurs to me is that it seems a waste to have my extreme plugged into the main network switch-box in the hall, which is near ceiling level, because I wouldn't really be able to use it for much there:
It is not where I need wifi coverage.
There is nowhere to put a printer near there.
There is probably not even enough space for an ethernet hard-disk in there.
In fact it's possible the extreme wouldn't even fit in the box.
I think it would be much better to have an extreme placed in the guest-bedroom where my computer desk will be, and where it can drive things like hard disks and printers.
However, I don't really want to buy a second extreme to give me one in the hall and another in the bedroom (I imagine I will buy a third express though).
So, I was thinking about two options:
1. Putting an express in the ethernet box, into an eight-way gigabit ethernet switch and from there to the various different devices in the house, including the extreme on my desk.
Internet
    I
Express
    I
8-way-Switch
I                  I              I
Extreme     Express Express
2. Using the ethernet in the flat to take the inbound internet direct from the cable modem into the guest bedroom through the first ethernet slot there, into the extreme, then back to the box in the hall using the second ethernet slot, and from there use the eight way gigabit ethernet switch to take the signal to the various other ethernet slots (and in three cases to airport expresses in other rooms).
Internet
    I (ethernet to guest bedroom)
Extreme
    I (ethernet back from guest bedroom)
8-way-Switch

Express     Express Express
Does anyone have experience of either set up, or any views on what might work best? Should I expect much loss of bandwidth if I am sending the signal over more of the ethernet cabling (as in idea two, where it will be much like Bilbo Baggins, going There and Back Again).
Thanks very much for any feedback.

Short version: Is there any disadvantage to be had from placing an extreme downstream of an express? Is there any reason why the extreme ought to be the centre of the network with other devices (expresses and possibly even another extreme) downstream of it?
Yes, the Extreme is a much faster and more capable router.. it has much faster wireless. If you put an extreme in downstream setup to express it will be limited to 100mbit ethernet and limited to 300mbit wireless.
That is the short version.
Long version you have obviously thought about the problem.. if you feed incoming cable to the Extreme, route from there then feed it back to the main swith which is gigabit.. that is fine.. Lots of ethernet cables is no problem as long as they are Cat5e at least and tested to work properly at full gigabit. Ethernet is good for 100M runs on Cat6 (somewhat less on Cat5e), and can handle 2 or 3 repeaters so total length of 300M or more.. again somewhat reduced by poorer Cat5.. but in a house wiring should be no problem. A switch is a repeater for ethernet. So each time you have a router or switch it is effectively a signal repeater.
So yes you can get away with what you want by judicious connections as per your version 2 layout.

Is there a way of remote accessing 'Games and More' on a mobile?

I am new to the forum, please excuse me if I am in the wrong space!
Is there a way of remotely accessing/executing Java applications that are residing in the 'Games and More.' folder on a mobile device?
e.g. Java application is downloaded into 'Games and More' and there is a requirement to execute the program from an ODP (On-Device-Portal). The ODP is external to the 'Games and More' folder but within the same mobile device.
Many thanks
Ian

Dell Venue Pro 11 w/Dock / Unable to concurrently use ethernet and wifi?

Does anyone know why you are unable to use the dock ethernet connection and the tablet's wifi connection at the same time?
I assume this is a limitation of the dock / tablet because if you hook a laptop up you can use the ethernet and wifi at the same time because they have different MAC addresses.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide....

What does "new actualization" mean?
Do you have Restrictions set that world prevent installing those apps? Settings>General>Restrictions

I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto. I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them. I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows. I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years. Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge. 180GB plus.
I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive. For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge. The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows. What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient. If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward. However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto. In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases. If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
Some guidance and insight would be appreciated. I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later.

Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.
