Network Adapter - LACP with iMac

Hi,
I've bought a new iMac 27" a few weeks ago - now I'm thinking about the Thunderbolt Display as an Add-On... ;-)
Looking at the tech specs I've seen that the Thunderbolt Display has got an ethernet port also - which I think is primary used for MacBooks, when they connect to the cinema display.
But if I got an ethernet already connected to my iMac, and adding an additional ethernet port to this, will my mac support LACP or any other port-aggregation protocol (my switch can do a lot - Cisco aka Linksys (cheap and good...))
It's not an essential need - it was just an idea...
Thanks, if anyone can answer my question...

While I have not actually tested this, the answer should be yes. Attempting to create a bonded interface will reveal both the built in and the display ethernet. So the interface is showing the correct ports and it will allow you to bond them together.

Parallels Shared Networking Adapter interfering with wireless networking

Hello, I've been having a lot of annoying wireless problems recently, where I would lose connectivity every few minutes. I had reset PRAM, changed lots of settings on my own receiver and the wireless router at home and at work, basically, nothing helped for more than a few minutes, even reinstalling snow leopard. I just removed my parallels shared networking adapter from my network preference pane, and the problem seems to have disappeared, at least for the past 10 minutes.
My question: has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix the parallels shared networking settings?
Thanks!

It could be a Windows problem that is interfering with your wireless. So try launch Windows in Parallel and remove the parallel shared wireless connection from within Windows instead of from the Mac side. Windows is doing weird things to my Mac too and install 2 parallel connections. So that maybe your culprit.

Networking my MacBook with iMac

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but i couldn't find a thread, and despite the cost of apple support - they are only open BH...which seems ridiculous.
Anyway...I have a G5 iMac which i have just installed an Airport Extreme Card in.
I am waiting on my Airport Express device, however the Apple Support people told me i could still network my iMac and new MacBook in the meantime, meaning that i could share files from the iMac and use the iMac's ADSL interent network (although both couldn't be connected at same time).
I assume i have to go into the network settings and put in an IP address or something, but can't quite work it out...any suggestions?
Thanks in advance (because I am not too good at all this stuff!!)

Should be. See the following:

Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter - With any driver: "The device instance name is invalid"

Hello there,
I was trying to install various "Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter" drivers, with versions ranging from 2007 to 2010, both from the manufacturer and specifically for this computer (a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile) and others from here:
http://www.atheros.cz/atheros-wireless-download.php?chipset=22&system=3
All of them are for Windows Vista 32bit.
The computer had previous drivers installed and working, but also had a network problem. In the process of figuring out what was causing it, I tried to install newer drivers to see if that was the problem. It turns out the network problem was due to a different
thing that is now fixed (some dependencies of the WLAN Configuration service were turned off), but I'm still stuck installing the new drivers.
TL;DR:
However, every time I install new drivers, after install, Windows says that
"The device instance name is invalid", regardless of what drivers I install. I even tried to install drivers for different hardware in that slot just to see what it told me and IT STILL gave me the same error. I also tried to uninstall the
current driver, checking the box to delete the driver's software, running CCleaner and then deleting
"athr.sys" from the Windows/Drivers folder and
"oem8.inf" from Windows/Inf as those files were referenced in the driver's properties. The install still gives me the same error.
The fact that it gives me this error with any driver leads me to believe it's Windows' fault and not the driver's.
Note: I am translating from the original in Portuguese. "The device instance name is invalid" is the closest/correct translation and seems about right with the info I find online regarding the english version of Vista and how it refers to devices.
This (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.development.device.drivers/yFa_XnlcLJQ) and this (http://finderr.net/windows/pt-PT/O-nome-da-inst%C3%A2ncia-do-dispositivo-%C3%A9-inv%C3%A1lido-/2082573452) also seems to confirm that, though it
doesn't help me. It may be that the text is actually different in english Vista but I also searched for driver instead of device or stuff like "The device instance name appears to be invalid" and can't find anything either.
I also did SFC /SCANNOW a while ago and it found no errors. I then repeated it again after this problem and this time, SFC found errors BUT it couldn't repair all of them. Here is the CBS log:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/bayum2rsezxpmre/CBS.log
Thank you for the help!
EDIT: The Notebook model is a Fujitsu-Siemens ESPRIMO Mobile V5535 and their support drivers can be found here (after specifying the OS and model):
http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/download/ShowFiles.asp
EDIT2:
The last SFC /scannow scan repaired everything left to repair. The system restore option can't be used because the earliest one still has the (suposedly faulty) drivers installed.
This computer has a Win Vista serial number, but no CD and the second partition doesn't have any kind of backup. The second partition is empty though. So, as a last resort, if I really don't have a choice, I'll try to do an upgrade install to see if that fixes
it and if that still doesn't fix it I'll have to move everything in the users folder to the second partition and format the first which is a bummer :/
EDIT: Here is the setup.api.log that was inside C:\Windows\Inf and details the instalation process of all the drivers:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyxs1e4r7rxofch/setupapi.dev.log
I'm still trying to read into that setup.api.log file.

So, can I assume that the only way to fix this error is to download an iso of Windows Vista, unninstall my service packs, upgrade install Vista, run Vistalizator to change the language to Portuguese and then install Service Pack 1 & 2?
EDIT: Alright, so I formatted the thing since the driver bug wouldn't give me a break. The details on that can be found searching for the same thread title either on tomshardware or vistaforums if anyone happens to find this looking for the same error.
I have a real knack for bumping heads with errors that nobody else gets that somehow turn into unfixable bugs. At least if someone else searches for this problem they'll know what to do.

The network adapter could not establish the connection with Oracle

I installed Oracle in my laptop (windows 2008), and install Hyperion 11.1.2, when I configure Hyperion, it pops up with "the network adapter could not establish the connection with Oracle"?

Hi,
This usually means that the connection details you have put in for Oracle are incorrect or Oracle can not be contacted.
Double check your configuration connection details and make sure you can access Oracle using them details.

Help with setup - no network adapter

I'm trying to setup my linksys WRT54GS and during setup it says my network adapter isn't enabled. I followed the directions and still, nothing works. Here is my situation. I have a home pc that I want to use the router as non-wireless. My roommate will be using the wireless while I will just be connected via a normal ethernet cable. Can anyone help me with this install? Thanks.

do u see the Local Area network in Network connections in control panel panel ? is it enabled ?
Try updating the your network card (LAN card) drivers ...

AirPlay works with Yamaha RX-A710 equipped with YWA-10 network adapter?

I have a RX-A710 equipped with a YWA-10 network adapter, is it possible to play music from my iPhone or Mac as an input to my receiver, like using AirPlay?

I have got a denon receiver. At some point itunes used to behave properly. But i dont exactly remember when but i started getting the error.
I get the same error even on the latest version of itunes.I am able to airplay to the denon the 1st time. Then once my Denon goes in network standby mode(not power off) and I want to airplay to Denon again i get the error above. However i verified that i can reach the Denon from iphone and even airplay music directly from phone during this whole time.
The only fix i found is to restart itunes. Once itunes starts again i can Airplay to Denon again.
I know this is not a DENON problem or my PC or my network as everything else from PC works properly, everything else AIRPLAY's to DENON properly.
Apple please help.

You already have a wireless router or have just bought one, or do you have an ad hoc connection from iMac to AppleTV?
If things worked in the other location this all point to poor network performance/connectivity. It may be the connection is intermittently lost - small files transfer ok, but interruptions during longer transfers scupper the process.
Interference from cordless phone bases or microwaves (and neighbours devices) might also cause connectivity issues.
Signal strength bars are often not that useful, but will indicate connection to the main wireless device they connect to - so AppleTv may have a good connection to the router but a poor iMac connection to router is not displayed by AppleTV which only shows the connection to the first device in the chain.
You could consider some home mains newtorking plugs such as those made by Devolo but they usually have to be on the same mains ring.

Enable and Disabling the Network Adapter with domain user (Standard User)

Hi Guys.
We setup a active directory in our organization. Added client systems(Windows 7 and Windows 8) to the Domain. Domain users are accessing the system with standard users permission. I don't want to give Administrator permissions. But user should able
to Disable and Enable network Adapter without giving the administrator permissions. Please suggest .
Thanks in advance for the help :)

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want the standard user has the permission to disable/enable network adapter.
I recommend you to implement this function by group policy:
User configuration - Administrative Templates – Network - Network connections
Enable this policy:
Ability to enable/disable a LAN Connection
Besides, you may consider of joining users to Network Configuration Operators Group, detailed information you may reference:

Linksys WRT54G compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Is the Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router (WRT54G) compatible with XBOX 360's Wireless Network Adapter?

Use the LAN port and cable. That way you'll get no interference and great data transfer. Or this maybe helps. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/connecttolive/xbox360/homenetworking/equipment.htm

Well, after another call with Apple support and the engineers, no success. After spending over 20 hours trying to debug this, I give up. Apple was basically fishing for a solution with trial-and-error settings on the iphone. Then they wanted me to plug in software to log my iphone connections to the router, etc, etc., etc., at which point I decided I no longer wanted to participate in their testing process and will simply return the router.
25 hours of my life I'll never get back.
Big bummer, and frustrating for all the obvious reasons.
