NB100 - Can't connect with ethernet cable

My netbook works fine with the wireless connection (although I only get 4Mb when I have 10Mb connection). I visited a friends house the other day and she doesn't have a wireless router.
I plugged the broadand cable into my machine. I disabled the wireless connection and enabled the LAN connection in network connections. I then switched off the wireless feature on the keyboard using the Fn & F1 keys.
It shows that there is a connection in my task bar but when I try to open the internet it won't connect.
I thought it was her connection as she had been having problems so today I went to another friends house and got exactly the same response.
I decided to try the same thing at home and I unplugged the ethernet cable from my wireless router and carried out the steps mentioned above.
Still no joy - am I missing something?

Hi Bouedo,
Are you saying that you can connect to LAN but not the internet, can you see other computers connected to the router? If you run 'CMD' and type 'ipconfig /all' do you get the network information or blank lines?
I'd recommend setting up static IP's too, and set the routers IP address as your default gateway. Also be sure to use an IP address within the routers range, and use the same Subnet Mask as the router.
Also have a look at the LAN setting in internet explorer to see if any of the boxes are ticked. I seem to recall when I first got broadband a few years ago I had issues connecting because the 'Automatically detect setting' box was ticked - I might be wrong, but I'm sure it caused me problems.

  • Can't Connect With Ethernet Cable

    Hi! I'm desperate! I just leased a new office and the entire building is wired with a T1 line. I brought in my own ethernet cable from home and plugged it into every connection in my office and then into my laptop, but I couldn't get an internet connection. I went through that internet setup assistant and still nothing...
    I asked other people in the office and they were on the internet fine. I asked my landlord and he said he'd never had a problem connecting his Macs to the internet.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    If the office LAN is 1000 Base T, you should use a Cat 6 cable.

  • Can you connect an ethernet cable to an Airport Express Extension?

    I have an Airport Express that I am using as an extension to my current home wireless network.
    That is successful and I have a green light. I am trying to plug in an ethernet cable to allow an older mac without an airport card to connect to that Airport Express Extension. When I turn off the airport and select Ethernet Cable, I am told that the cable is not connected to the internet. The wireless works fine and I can get full bars in the far part of my house - but I do not get internet when connecting an Ethernet cable.
    Help!
    Thanks in advance

  • Why won't my old iMac G4 recognize my Airport Express when connected with ethernet cable?

    After I installed an Airport Extreme as a base station for my network, the G4 couldn't recognize either the Airport Express or the Airport Extreme unless it was connected by ethernet cable to the Airport Extreme - then both devices show up in the G4 utility. I have reset the Airport Express to factory settings many times and the Utility in my iMac 3.2 Ghz Intel Core 13 indicates that the Airport Express is working. Any ideas?

    I suspect its to do with the WPA setup support changes.  My very old G3 seemed to have the same issue of not able to connect to Extreme or Express.  Used to connect before years back to Apple routers but refused to in recent time for reasons not explainable so I just connect it now via cable.

  • Can 2 Macs connect with ethernet cable to share DVD for remote install?

    Can I simply connect a Mac Mini Server and MacBook together with an ethernet cable?
    I want to reinstall Mac OS X Server on the DVDless Mac Mini. There is no separate AirPort device.
    So do I just connect the two machines with an ethernet cable, start the remote install program on the MacBook, then restart the Mac Mini with the Option key pressed?
    Thanks.

    According to page 57 of the Getting Started 10.6 server manual, you can use a Mac with a DVD drive operating in target disk mode for this. I see no mention of using Ethernet so I assume it is not supported. Even if it was, it would be extremely slow compared to using FireWire target disk mode.

  • HT1178 Do I want to create a new wireless network or join my current network?  I can't connect an ethernet cable to the Mac / printer and to the wireless modem at same time - in two different rooms.

    I am trying to set up Time Capsule so that I can do my first backup (after 1 1/2 years!) with Time Machine.  I have read other forums, but in each case they instructions eventually do not apply.
    I have connected my TC to my existing wireless router.  This sits in a bedroom and cannot be moved as a rental home.
    I have plugged in the TC and updated the software.
    Now - do I want to A Create a New Wireless Network (remember I can't connect the TC to Mac using an Ethernet cable). B Replace an existing base station or wireless router with TC (only intend to use for TM as don't know other benefits as of yet). or C want TC to join current network. 
    Thinking C.  If I choose C, it then asks A TC to wireless join current network (NO as already connected using Ethernet). B want to connect TC to my network using Ethernet to extend my existing wireless network. C want to disable the wireless network on this TC and connect it to my computer or network using Ethernet - CANNOT do this as devices can not be in the same room.
    Or do I want to create new wireless network - first set of questions - choice A?  What is the benefit to creating a new one when I won't be in this rental house for longer than 18 more months??
    Please help and quickly!  Thanks!

    Let me suggest some things.
    But first ask exactly what wireless router you have now and what type of broadband service?
    Are you happy with the wireless on the current router? If so, then you can plug the TC straight into whatever computer you have by ethernet, short 1M cord with no connection to the network. And use it without affecting your existing network at all. This is trivial setup.
    Although you don't say exactly what Mac and printer you are using, is it a desktop? Laptop it is definitely easier not to plug it in, but a desktop you can plug in the TC and it will all sit happily together.
    How is the printer connected and to what?
    I am not sure why you need such quick help.. this is all minor setup stuff.. and 18months in todays world is like permanent man.
    Your multiple A, B, C are more confusing than helpful.
    The best choices without more info.. are to replace the existing wireless router with the TC. ie your option B.. but how to do this depends on the type of connection. Is it cable or adsl? Can you easily bridge the existing modem router.. if that is what it is?
    Think carefully in the ideal world what would you like..
    and what do you have..
    We can probably suggest ways and means to fit what you like to what you have.. without introducing a stack of options that are doing your head in.

  • Have TC green light. It won't update firmware and I'm not coneected to the internet. I can, however, connect with ethernet direct to Imac

    I have a grren light on TC but the firmware update fails because I'm not connected to the net. I have the ethernet cable from my Charter cable modem connected to TC and trying to connect automatically but it's not working. Can anyone help?

    Have you performed a full modem reset on your device and network power cycle?
    If not, please try the following:
    Push the reset button on the modem and then power it off
    Pull the battery if its easily accessible
    Power down everything else on your network
    Wait at least 15 minutes, 30 would be better,  60 even better.
    Power up the modem first and let it run by itself for a few moments
    Start the next device connected to the modem, probably your Time Capsule, the same way
    Start each device the same way until all network devices are back up
    If your modem is functioning corrrectly, and you have the TC configured correctly, you will be connected to the Internet.

  • Can't connect via ethernet cable to Fios on my iMac

    Well, went from cable because I was only getting an upload and download speed of 19 Mbps and was promised close to 50/50 if I went to Fios.  Decided to go for it and installation took a full day.
    During set up we found I could only connect my iMac 27" Silver desktop via Airport or wireless.  For some reason even though my preferences on the mac was showing that I was connected both wireless and ethernet, if I select the ethernet option it doesn't work at all.  Bad part is that wireless connection is about the same I was getting on cable or 19-20 Mbps up and down.
    The service tech came out and told me he wasn't a mac guy, but plugged his PC laptop into the router and he was getting 49 mbps.  I have a PC also on my network and it is working fine and much faster then the mac.
    I have spent many hours trying to understand why I am having this issue. Tech guys told me he isn't a Mac guy and it has to be a Mac problem not a router or Fios problem. This is always the excuse when companies have no clue what to do.
    So now that Verizon is on strike I can't get any support at all. I have a 30 day guarantee and may want to cancel and uninstall Fios and go back to cable where the tech support is excellent and the only issue I had was the internet speed.
    There is no reason to have Fios if I am getting less service for the same money. Frankly, I have taken videos showing how slow it is.  On many sites or times of the day, it won't connect to a URL at all and it will begin, then hang up and I have to keep trying to reload the url until I can get it to go.  This is totally unacceptable and frustrating.
    Does anyone have any real answers to this problem? I see others on a Mac also have this same problem. Some blame the router, others blame the settings...I am lost and use my computer for business and need reliable service.
    I can't even get anyone on the phone at Verizon to either extend the 30 day guarantee until we resolve this problem or cancel the service and reinstall cable.

    The Mac should be plug and play with the Ethernet connection, and you shouldn't need to  play with anything at all. Does the ActionTec's Ethernet lights indicate a link when you connect your Mac to the router? Does the Mac's NIC (if it has lights on it) indicate a connection? Does the Mac indicate that it has a valid IP address while it is connected to the router using only Ethernet? What version of OS X are you running?

  • HT4628 Airport on Mac is searching for Wi-Fi from Time capsule. I can get into my back-up, but internet. Modem is fine( I can get online with Ethernet cable). I was told it is a difference in IP addresses ( outgoing from modem and streaming from capsule).

    What might be a problem with IP addresses? I did contact Time Warner Cable about my service, there is no problems at the modem until it gets to Time Capsule. I have everything in the house running off of wireless, now nether asset is working. I was  able to connect to Time Capsule wirelessly, but Internet is no go. Any ideas? Thank you!

    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule) (Note: Performing this type of reset will NOT affect any data stored on the Time Capsule's internal HDD.)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

  • How can I use my time capsule with Ethernet cable? How is it also possible to use time capsule as a normal external hard drive?

    My problem is that I don't know how to use my Time Capsule with Ethernet Cable, as when I use wireless it is really slow.

    Make sure that there is an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on your modem/wireless router to the WAN port on the Time Capsule
    Click on the Wireless tab at the top of the page
    Change the setting for Wireless Mode to Off (I assume that you do not want the Time Capsule to provide a wireless network since you already have a wireless network)
    Next, click the Internet icon at the top of the screen, then click the Internet Connection tab
    Connect Using = Ethernet
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    Click the Update button at the bottom and wait 30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart and display a green light
    Then, you must power off your entire network...all devices....in any order that you want
    Wait a minute
    Start your modem/router first and let it run a minute
    Start the Time Capsule and let it run a minute
    Keep starting devices one at a time until everything is powered up
    If you are using Time Machine for backups, you will need to reset the connection because you have changed the way in which the Time Capsule connects to your network
    Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock
    Open Time Machine
    Click Select Disk
    Click the Time Capsule to highlight it
    Click Use for Backup or, it might be Use Disk
    Now you can connect your Mac using an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule to back up using Ethernet. Be sure to turn off the wireless on your Mac before you start the backup.
    If you want to backup using wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Time Capsule and turn on the wireless and connect to your wireless network. Your computer will now backup using wireless.

  • I am unable to set up my new Time Capsule with my BT Home Hub - every time i connect the ethernet cable from Wan port to Home Hub, the internet signal drops

    Hi there -
    I've just purchased a new Time Capsule, and would like to set up a small home network with my Laptop, iMac and wireless printer. I'm following the first steps, but as soon as I connect an ethernet cable between the WAN port of the TC and the ethernet port of the HH, my BT internet connection drops out and I have to restart the HH. Upon which point it drops out again. The airport utility can see my TC, and gets as far as me typing in the new network name and setting up a password, but then it can't quite get through to the next stage. All the time it's just flashing amber.
    Please help!

    Setup the TC in bridge mode before you cannot it to the HH.
    Simply do the setup fully in isolation. And do it by ethernet.
    Setup wireless to create a wireless network.
    You can use either same SSID =Wireless name as the HH .. same security same password.
    Or use a different name and setup.. totally up to you.
    Update the TC and then plug it into the HH by ethernet.

    I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.  Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?

    I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme.
    Excellent plan.
    Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?
    Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
    This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

  • As a Verizon FIOS client, can we just use Ethernet cable to connect to time capsule, or do we need their router to connect to the time capsule?

    As a Verizon FIOS client, can we just use Ethernet cable to connect to time capsule or do we need the Verizon router to connect to time capsule?

    The Time Capsule is indeed a wireless router with simultaneous dual band capability...and a hard drive for backup purposes. You can use that to your advantage if you configure the Time Capsule as I suggested in Bridge Mode.
    The Time Capsule will provide a 802.11n 5 GHz band and a 802.11n/g/b compatible 2.4 GHz band to allow virtually any device to connect to the network.
    I suppose that you could also use the "g" wireless network provided by the Verizon router as a "guest" network or something similar if you really do need another wireless network.
    It might be possible to configure the Time Capsule as the main router on the network....that's a question for Verizon. But even if you might be able to do this, I'm sure it is not supported by Verizon, so you would be on your own in the event of any Internet connection difficulties on your service.
    And, since the Time Capsule does not have a built in modem....you would still need to add a separate modem to the installation anyway.
    That's why my suggestion is to use the Verizon device as the "modem" and let the Time Capsule provide the dual band wireless network and of course, handle the Time Machine backups.

  • HP LaserJet P1505n, connected by Ethernet cable, does not get IP address so I can't get to web admin

    Hello and thanks in advance,
    I've read as many threads as possible and done everything I could to get my HP P1505n working again but can't and need some new advice.
    I've had this printer for a couple of years and it worked well and always connected. I had it plugged into a router (at one point linksys, then a dlink) and had given it a static ip address that it always printed to. 
    Recently, I got a Cisco modem/router from my internet service provider, I plugged in the printer's ethernet cable to it, and suddenly I couldn't print to it anymore. I couldn't access it's webadmin console and couldn't change any settings. I went through various troubleshooting steps and ultimately did a hard reset. 
    I left it alone for a week (thankfully I have another printer) but am trying again to get it up and running. Right now it has switched to AutoIP but it doesn't get in IP address. It only shows 169.254.241.24. I even tried to connect directly to it via ethernet and change my computer's ip to 169.254.241.23 with the same subnet mask and it won't connect to it - I can't get to the webadmin to manually assign it an IP like 192.168.0.111
    Right at this moment actually I cannot even get a configuration page to print and the amber light above the green ethernet light flashes on for a second or two and then off for a few seconds and that cycle continues. 
    What can I do to get this working again aside from plugging in a usb cable and forgetting about network printing (the reason I bought it in the first place)?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi gr---8 ,
    Sorry to hear you are still having issues setting up the printer on the wired network.
    We will need to find out if it is the Ethernet port on the printer, or the network causing this issue.
    Do you have Mac filtering on the router?
    Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the printer.
    Restore the printer back to factory settings.
    Print a hardware test page to test the printer's hardware. Make sure the SSID and IP address is cleared from your router's setttings. Printing a Configuration Page in Windows.
    Connect the Ethernet cable directly to the computer.
    Print the configuration page again to see if you get a IP address to test the Ethernet port on the printer.
    What is the IP address?
    Run the add printer wizard to install the printer.
    Test the printer.
    Were you able to see the printer, add the printer and print?
    What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
    Please provide in detail the results.
    Have a nice day!

  • Printer won't work with Ethernet cable connected to AEBS

    I've been using my AEBS with built-in modem for a year with no problems. Today I got a DSL modem (finally available in my area) and when I connected the ethernet cable from the DSL modem to my AEBS, my printer stopped working. It now gives the following error message: "Printing Problem - the process "mdns" stopped unexpectedly with status 1". The printer is still available from the printer setup utility and I tried deleting and reinstalling the printer
    I have tried several different variations of restarting the modem and AE in various orders, but no joy. However, when I disconnect the ethernet cable from the AE and restart it, I can print fine.
    I have three computers on the network (G4 MDD PowerMac, G5 iMac, and C2D MPB) and I get the same error message from all three.
    Any suggestions (perhaps an interpretive dance to the network gods?) on how to get both the DSL and printer to play nice at the same time??
    Thanks, Eric
