[network] create a shared lan/wlan connection on Arch

I try for weeks to make an ad-hoc connection like I use on ubuntu, on archlinux ...
I don't know much about the process as ubuntu is fairly simple to create as it use metapackages and preconfigurated packages ...
Could you lend me an helping hand to create it before I got no hair left as there is so many wiki pages, forums/blogs posts, Q&A questions about this without relevant informations ???

The problem is they uses specific options for hardware mostly ...

Qosmio X500: Lan/Internet connection get lost after period of time

Hi all,.
I got the qosmio x500 for about half a year now...
I got this problem where after about 5 hours or less the lan/internet connection get lost.
I disabled the wireless connection and is using only the wired connnection now.
When it get disconnected... all devices seems to work seemlessly, no problem can be found. I checked the win7 network adaptor --and it seems to be connected properly.
I haven't got a slightest idea how to fix that.... Only a reset of the system and reloading the os results with a valid connection.
It is even stranger,. When using it for a piriod of time (listeding to audio streams from the web)... when getting back to the machine the audio connection seems to work properly.... but when trying to access other sites, or other machines in the homegroup, or network (under explorer). It result faulty.
Please guide me somehow how to fix the issue, it is bugging me a lot (all these resets to the machine probably doesn't do it any good as well).
thanks in advance,.

Hi,
It could be the energy saving feature of your network card.
Right click Network Icon on the status bar, choose 'Open Network Center and Sharing', Click on 'Connection', Click on 'Properties' (low left button), you'll see the tab with your Network Properties. Click 'Configure' (Upper right button), choose 'Power Management' (last right tab).
Uncheck 'Allow computer to shut down this device to save energy'. Probably your problem will now be solved.
If the names I write aren't exactly right, I'm on a French language computer so my translations can be slightly wrong.

Sharing LAN network to PC via Airport

This is wtah I do:
1. Then in the properties of the Airport I create a secure connection using a password
2. I go to Prefs>Sharing>Internet and enable sharing my Ethernet connection to other computers via Airport.
3. Then I turn on my Airport and try to connect a PC to the secure network.
Results:
If the network is secure Windows XP SP2 Home edition cannot connect to network shared from my MacBook.
2. If I create an open network, no password protection - I connect other PCs without problems.
3. Though I connect, the connection is quite low, whereas my LAN internet is quite fast.
So, here are my questions:
1. Is it possible that my Internet providers do something to restrict/limit the options to share the network?
2. Can they controll the speed if I share my networkvia Airport?
3. If this is a problem solely related to my MacBook and PC settings, please, advise how to solve it!
Thanks!!!

And there is no work around?
None that I am aware of.
Is it same with AirPort routers?
No. You should have no problem with an Apple base station.

Sharing a shared network variable between two PC's connected to a network

Sharing a shared network variable between two PC's connected to a network
Surely this shouldn’t be so difficult! I have a little LabVIEW program running in the background of PC1. The exe’s task is to collect and send OPC variables held on a SCADA system and convert them to shared network variables (as I thought that they would be easy to share over a network, easier than the nasty OPC and DCOM issues). I have PC2 which runs measurement studio and I have created a nice test VB program which either writes or reads the network variables which are on PC1. The PC1 collection software is working perfectly and when I change the values on the SCADA system I can see the network variable change on ‘NI Distributed System Manager’. I When I look at ‘NI Distributed System Manager’ on PC2 I can’t see PC1 on the list and when I use the basic measurement studio code below to read the network variable it times out at the TestVariable.connect() line.
Ok so what do I need to do to read a shared network variable sat on PC1 from PC2 on the network
Public Class Form1
Private WithEvents TestVariable As NetworkVariableSubscriber(Of Double)
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TestVariable = New NetworkVariableSubscriber(Of Double)("\\192.168.58.139\Test\TestVariable")

Local network: sharing of printers connected to a pc windows xp from imac

hello,
i have a local network made of:
-an imac 24 with leopard 10.5.6
-and a pc with windows xp sp2 on which two printers (hplaser & epson) are connected in a mode sharing status;
the network is connected to internet by a router; all links are ethernet cable in the network;i use bit defender 2009 as antivirus in the pc (my pc is indiquated without virus by bitdefender)
I can share from the imac my file in the pc through the net work (192.168.1.3);
the working group name is the same on imac and pc (this is why I can share files)
but I cannot share the printers; none is visible through the menu fax & printers under windows; even the name of the working goup does not appear;
the apple assistance could not answer that simple question;
has anybody a solution for this simple mixed configuration
(before i was using windows 2000 pro which created no problem for this sharing of printer between imac and pc-now with xp sp2 it seems cumbersome...)
thank you for your kind help

Hi campbellpauln,
On your Win7 computer, remove any previous install attempt. Then run the driver install for your computer, you can download a Win7 driver for your printer.
When it gets to the connect a USB cable screen, just put a check in the "I'm not going to connect now" box.
This will load the driver on your computer.
This time when you go to add printer and connect across the network to the shared printer, your Win7 computer should list this model and just install.
I was an HP employee.
Please mark the post that solves your problem as "Accepted Solution"

Can I connect a PC via LAN to my WLAN - connected time capsule?

Hi,
I haven't found any info on this in the forums yet:
The problem:
My WLAN - router is located in my living room and has loads of devices connected (iPhone, iPad, 2 Zeppelin Air, MacBook Air, some other Win - PCs etc...)
One of the PCs (Win 7) is in another room, connected via WLAN too.
I now have a time capsule near this PC and would like to connect these two via LAN and then use the WLAN connection of the time capsule for this PC too.
After connecting the Ethernet cable (which was working fine elsewhere) I see that there is a connection, but no access to the network.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

You likely have the Time Capsule configured to "Join a wireless network". Is that correct?
If yes, the Time Capsule does not perform any routing functions in this type of configuration. In effect, it has become a wireless hard drive.
Therefore, the Etherent ports are not enabled, so there is no signal available at the ports.

Create a wireless network AND Internet sharing?

Hi all,
I own a MacBook Pro and an iPhone, and currently live at a state university. The problem is that the wireless network won't allow communication between devices, only to the internet, and you aren't allowed to have a wireless router. You are, by some strange loophole, allowed to share an internet connection from a computer. My problem is that I either can share the Internet (which doesn't allow me to use apps that use WiFi to communicate with my Mac, like iDisplay) or create a wireless network (which means I can't connect to the internet via WiFi on my phone). So here's my question:
How can I share my internet connection with my iPhone as well as be able to use apps that communicate with my mac, such as iDisplay?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Your Mac is already using the Wifi to connect to the network, you don't have control over the router can't have one, so you can't make any changes to have your iPhone use the router to communicate with your Mac.
They likely already have enough bandwidth issues as it is to allow streaming between devices on the local network too.
Open Mesh with Internet Sharing via the Mac's Ethernet port and a Cat5 cable?

Can I do this: Use wireless network as WAN and create my own LAN.

I travel quite a bit and many hotels now do not have wired in-room networks.
So I'm looking for a way to use the wireless network as a wide area network and create a local network in-room behind a router/firewall, preferably with a private SSID..
I've been reading for quite some time and am confused about whether this is even possible.
It sounds as if I could use an airport express to join the wireless network then use the Ethernet to connect to another airport or time capsule? It sounds like joining a network on any other airport device (Time Capsule or Airport Extreme) disables all the network functions on hose devices...? I'd like to do this with a time capsule but I'm not really fond of passing my backup all over the hotel network...
Incidentally, this is about security and not dodging charges, I almost never stay in hotels that charge for Internet. Kind of hard to believe I'm the only one that wants to do this... and if it isn't obvious I don't have any airport devices presently.

Interim update:
I picked up an airport express and joined it to the hotel network. I then connected the router that I carry around to the airport express and was able to connect to the internet using my SSID on the router.
After playing with the airport utility I see that configuring any of the airport devices to replace the current router should be no issue.
I'll maybe pick up a Time Capsule next week and finish the job.

How can I create a guest network on an airport extreme that connects wirelessly with a Timecapsule

I have a Timecapsule in one place of our house, that is connected to Internet. I need to extend the range of my network: 1. my private network needs to get to a remote location to make connection with speakers (Itunes). for this I need to first extend the range of my private network, because the speakers are too far away from the TC. 2. I need to set up a guest network, but at quite some distance from my TC, in an other part of the house, too far away from the TC (so a guest network on the TC won't do).
For this, upon advice from an apple store, I bought an airport extreme, which I have placed on a location where it can connect to the TC, to extend the private network. On the location of the speakers, I have an aiport express (connecting to the extreme), to play music from Itunes. The setup at this moment is: TC makes connection to internet, and broadcasts a private network. Extreme connects to this private network, and broadcasts it further to the Airport express, that captures it and plays the music. I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express. Is this possible? How can I do this? Thanks for the help !

I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express. Is this possible?
Unfortunately, the "main" router...your TC in this case....is the only device that can create a Guest Network, assuming that the TC is connected to a simple modem.
Unfortunately again, the Guest Network cannot be extended. Your only real option here is to create a Guest Network on the TC and hope that it will have sufficient coverage for your needs.

N95-Continuous "Create WLAN connection in offline ...

Hello All,
I tried using the search and could not find anything on this.
Up until now, i haven't had a problem like this. Upon turning on the phone, i keep getting the "Create WLAN connection in offline mode?" prompt. When i hit "NO", my phone resets! When i hit "YES", sometimes nothing happens and other times, the phone freezes up and then resets.
I have WLAN scanning set to off by default. I held down the options button to check for any apps running in the background that may be causing this, but none are open. (Just the "Standby" icon is present.)
Again, this just started happening. I have recently installed programs like Fring, Shozu, and TruPhone. I thought either Fring or TruPhone may have been the culprits so i removed them both, but the WLAN prompt --> restart issue is still present.
I am curious if others have experienced this. My phone is still V 10.0.018.
Please help! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!Message Edited by adamyuki on 14-Jul-200704:50 PM

I haven't had this happen to me, and I haven't seen any other reports in the forum.
One thing you can try is to reset the phone using the instructions you can find in this post :
/discussions/board/message?board.id=smartphones&message.id=4007
However please be aware that doing so will wipe ALL the data from your phone such as information in your calendar, contacts and so on.
In order to save your data you can use the PC Suite application to save and restore the data from your phone - this software can be found here :
http://www.nokia.com/pcsuite
One thing to note is that as part of these diagnostics, you should NOT restore any backup or install any software on the phone as you could be putting the problem back onto the phone.
If this doesn't work then it's likely you have a hardware fault and you should approach your local Nokia Service Centre to get your phone fixed.
Hope this helps.
Please let me know how you get on.Message Edited by edwardquan on 16-Jul-200701:16 AM

Portege Z930: How to create GPRS / Wifi / LAN connection profiles?

Hi !
I can't find any software (Toshiba or Intel) on my Portege Z930 that can manage
connections profiles to automatically be connected on GPRS or Wifi or LAN regardless to connections available (office, home, public area...)
Toshiba Wirelss manager runs with GPRS only and not wifi or lan
Thanks for your help !
Best Regards

Hi
Such universal utility is not known to me.
The Toshiba Wireless manager handles the 3G profiles.
For Wlan connectivity and profile management you could use the TOSHIBA Configfree
Here a short details:

Well, and LAN would works until the LAN cable is connected :)

Can I use my iphone5 to create a hotspot and then connect a device that requires a ethernet cable to a lan(router) this router obviously needs to use my hotspot to connect?

I need to setup Solar inverters remotely some times and I am looking to see if there is a way to use my iphone to connect the inverter to the internet. My thought is to create a hotspot and then connect the inverter to a router(it has a ethernet cable that can plug into a lan) The router is then connected to my iphone. So something similar than a dongle I suppose?

If you're wanting to share your hot spot with a device that requires an Ethernet connection, you need a device that can connect to Wi-Fi while providing access to that connection via Ethernet. One idea might be to configure an AirPort Express to serve as a Wi-Fi extender of your hot spot, and plug the solar inverter to the Ethernet port on the Express.

Was able to create guest network but when I try to access guest network to test it, I cannot connect.

Was able to create guest network but when I try to access guest network to test it, I cannot connect. I tried iPad and iPhone.

The Guest Network feature will not function correctly if the AirPort Exteme is configured in Bridge Mode.
But unfortunately, Bridge Mode is the correct setting if you have the AirPort Extreme connected to a modem/router or gateway type of device.
So, is the AirPort Extreme configured in Bridge Mode as illustrated above?
Can you provide the make and model number of the device that you might call your "modem"?

My AirPortExBS n-type will create a network, but not use it to connect to the Internet

I just got a new AirPortExtreme, n-type, and I can create a successful network but cannot use it to connect to the internet. I can do both with my old APEx, g-type. I can connect to the internet directly via Ethernet.
I've been in chat all **** day with Comcast, who insist it's Apple's fault, despite all the evidence to the contrary. They just want an excuse to charge me a setup fee. Jerks.
Salient points:
g-type wireless network (while it's useful to tell the two apart, I'll miss the whimsical UFO-shaped device) works.
n-type device will create a network my MacBook can detect, but it can't access the internet. I got my APExpress in the mail (two days later, even though they were ordered at the same time) today and I haven't tried bridging that in yet, too many headaches already, but I can print wirelessly over the new network when my printer is attached to the square APEBS.
I have power-cycled the **** things almost a dozen times at the behest of my Mac's setup guide and Comcast's chat people.
My best guess is that my modem, because I did not buy Comcast's (jerks) "Wireless Self-Install Kit" is somehow not compatible with the faster AirPort... though why it wouldn't broadcast at the 2.4Ghz band, at least, I don't know.
I will be thoroughly grateful if you guys could help me out here. I've never had a problem with any of my Apple products before, so this is a little disturbing.
Thanks, Jenna

I have found several discussion boards and articles regarding iTunes not recognizing any device in Windows. However, I haven't been able to find one that discusses this specific issue. Does any body have an idea on how to correct this?????
