Network question with 2TB TC

I have an older gen 2TB Time Capsule that i want to use in my small office, but my network is kind of complicated so i am not quite sure how to go about it. My landlord provides a wifi internet connection (DSL) I do not have access to the modem just the password to connect to the wifi. I tried to wirelessly bridge/extend the network with the TC so i would be able to use the ethernet connections for my mac mini, printer, and VoIP system. It obviously did not work because i could not connect the TC to modem via ethernet cable. I went out and bought a Netgear wireless bridge/extender that connects wirelessly to the modem and provides 4 ethernet ports (which i am using 1 for the VoIP system) all seems to function fine so far. I am wirelessly connecting my printer and mini to the extended network, but I would like to add the TC for back ups and additional ethernet connections if necessary and possibly get the printer and mini off the wireless connection. What would be the best way to do this, last time I attempted to add the TC to the network it bounced the netgear extender off the network until i eliminated the TC from the mix. any insight will be greatly appreciated.

OK, thanks for checking that for me.
Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon at the top of the window
Click the Internet Connection tab just below the icon
Connect Using should be set to Ethernet
Connection Sharing should be set to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
If the settings are not available or grayed out, click the AirPort icon next to the Internet icon, then click the Wireless tab and make sure that the setting for Wireless Mode is set to Off
Click Update at the lower right of the screen and give the TC a minute to restart
Connect the Ethernet cable from the Netgear bridge to the WAN "O" port on the TC
That will enable the 3 LAN <--> Ethernet ports for other devices
Since you have a wireless bridge on the network, the Ethernet ports on the TC are only going to be as fast as the wireless connection allows, so things will be slower than a normal Ethernet connection. Still should be fine for printing, etc.
Please report on your results.

Networking Question with Extreme & Express

If I am standing within 1 to 40 feet of A my phone connects to the network through A with a strong signal.
If I am standing within 1 to 20 feet of B my phone connects to the network through B with a strong signal.
If I am standing within 1 foot of C my phone connects to the network through B with a very weak signal and will not connect through C.
B and C are set up to extend the network at A.
Obviously C is not extending the network, (and is set up to accept wireless clients like B). Is it possible to select the point at which to connect?

Macbook wireless network question with vista and xp PLEASE HELP

Ok I just bought a macbook computer and introduced it to a windows family using vista and xp computers. I was able to set up wireless networking and surf the internet with all computers. However I cannot see the windows computers from the mac but can see the mac on the windows computers. I have a linksys wrt54g router. I tried everything and Im unable to see other computers or the printer thats attached to the desktop pc using vista. I went ahead and purchased the extreme airport router and after being on the phone with apple care for 3 hours and reformatting the operating system on the mac I was finally able to see the other pc's and installed bonjour for windows on all windows based pc's and was able to print from the mac without a glitch but the windows based pc's were horribly very very slow printing using bonjour. Needless to say I didnt want to spend all the extra money on a apple router for all this to work and after doing so the printing from windows machines just plain *****. So I returned the airport extreme and Im back to the linksys. When the linksys wrt54g is hooked up I cannot see the printer or other windows machines. Any ideas please to keep my current setup so I dont have to go out and by more apple products for everything to play nice. Thanks

What is the exact model number of your Linksys router for this Linksys forum??

Question on how networking works with new Macbook Pro

Hi,
I have a question about how networking works with my new Macbook Pro. This is my first laptop so am new to mobile computing. I am about to configure it to replace my desktop which uses a wired DSL connection. Once I have my Macbook Pro configured to run off the DSL modem, what happens when I take this computer to a location that has ethernet? Will just plugging in the ethernet cable be enough to get on line? Or is there further configuration work that needs to be done?
I used a Windows laptop from work and all I had to do was plug it in to a hotel ethernet cable to get on line. However, this laptop was never configured to run on my DSL network so I am not certain if that makes things more complicated.
Thanks for your help!

Hi
Your MacBook Pro should just work when plugged into an ethernet connection.
Just check something, Open Network Preferences, you can select it from the Airport icon in the menu bar.
In the left-hand pane click on Ethernet and just check that it is set to configure using DHCP in the right-hand pane, that's it.
So when you plug in the ethernet cable it will ask the router for an IP address and off you go.
I assume that any system you plug into will use DHCP rather than static IP addresses. If it is a static IP address, you will need to manually configure the ethernet settings by inputting the IP address and subnet mask info plus DNS servers.
Usually it is done with DHCP and you don't have to do a thing and likewise your home DSL is DHCP?
If not then you will have to change your settings, make a 'Hotel' setting which you can use when in hotels and keep your 'Home' set-up for when you are at home. In the pull down menu select Edit Locations to add new ones.

Using network drive with time machine. IS IT POSSIBLE?

There are lots of discussion on using network drives with time machine. I have not been able to make them work. Could somebody tell me if this is possible

Time Machine does not back up to network drives, except Time Capsules or USB drives connected to an Airport Extreme, or a drive on a Mac running Leopard.
Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733
You may find some "hacks" that might make it work, in some cases, to a degree. But use them at your own risk.
First, since this is *unsupported by Apple,* there's nowhere to go when there's trouble.
Second, you're risking a future update preventing it from working, and perhaps rendering your backups useless.
If you still think this is a good idea, do yourself a favor before you bet your backups on it: be sure it really works, at least for now:
1. Get a copy of CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper! or the like, and make a full bootable clone of your internal HD, on an external disk. Test it by booting from it. Then reboot from your internal HD.
2. Let TM do it's first, full, initial backup.
3. Attempt a full system restore (like you'll need when, not if, your internal HD fails), via the instructions in item 14 of the of the Frequently Asked Questions post at the top of this forum.
Again, even if it works today, tomorrow is another day . . .

W540 network question

Hello Lenovo community,
My W540 (20BG) Thinkpad has Windows 8.1 and all the latest updates from Microsoft and Lenovo. The computer is great, fast and over all happy with it. I am very worried about putting an SSD in it due to reported problems, and I normally use Linux so Windows 8.1 is new to me.
I am experiencing a network problem when the system first boots the networking is "connected" but I can not use the Internet until I disconnect and reconnect the network adapter. This happens with both wired and wireless connections. For wireless I have to hit disconnect and connect again before I get the network working (on this boot had to connect/disconnect 3 times!). On wired I have to open the control panel and find the ethernet adapter and disable and enable.
Is anyone else having a networking problem with the w540? I am very new to Windows 8.1, is there an OS setting that needs to be set? Since the problem is both on wired and wireless I suspect something is wrong. I wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone has this problem or advice on how to resolve.
Thank you for your time,
- MtnBiker

Sorry to reply to my own question, but a few additional points of clarification.
The "Connect automatically" box is checked for the wireless connect so the computer is supposed to connect on boot up.
Also this problem does not appear each boot. For instance the boot this morning connected just fine. It now appears to be an intermittent problem... I have definitely been "connected" but not able to use the browser or other internet services.
I tried using the Windows troubleshooter to diagnose problems with the connection, but each time it does not find anything wrong.
It is possible this is something I am doing wrong. I just want to find out if anyone else was having problems like this with the w540 and Windows 8.1.
Thanks!

Sharing a network connection with an Ipad2

I have a windows desktop connected to a network. I'd like to share the network connection with my Ipad while it is connected via the USB cable to the desktop. Is this possible? How?
Thanks,
Shaun

Well duh - no. I misread the question. I share the Internet connection from my iMac which is connected to the Internet via Ethernet cable to the modem.
The iPad shares my iMac's Internet connection through internet sharing. The iPad is not connected to my Mac with the USB cable. Brain clot! But is it not possible to share the connection via Internet sharing in the Windows world?
Sorry to the OP!

Hey Everyone... I have a networking Question...

Ok well its more then just one networking question...
I'm working on a game engine (2d) and for the time being it just has two blocks in a 600 by 480 area, both controled by user input on a single comp. I would like to change this so that i can have the blocks be controled by sepeart computers. I know this is possible I just dont know how, any help would be great.
My experience with Java is some what limited i've only been programing for the past 6 months and i've never messed with any network code before.
Any and all help would be great
Thanks
Mike

Boy, that other poster was really helpful, yes? :-P
What you probably want to do is open a "socket" between one computer and the other. (TCP is probably the easiest/best for your application, as opposed to UDP). This is actually pretty simple, and basically consists of:
(this client/server arrangement is the easiest. Peer-to-peer would work too, but is generally more complex.)
1. Computer A decides to become the server and opens a java.net.ServerSocket on port 1234.
2. Computer B opens a java.net.Socket to computer A's port 1234.
3. Computer A accepts the connection and gets a java.net.Socket from the ServerSocket.
4. Now anything computer A writes to the Socket is recieved by computer B, and vice-versa. This is a TCP connection and is stream-based, so it should be familiar if you've done any Java I/O before; in face, you can use java.io.Reader's and Writers, and so on with your Socket.
See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/ for a good introduction to sockets.

Configure multiple network card with netcfg

Hello Archers! I am a happy new user of Arch Linux . I wanna say that your community is really great, thanks to all the people giving help out there.
My question is:
I must configure two eth interfaces, I have the both configured but sometimes I need to change configuration for connecting to other network that needs only one network card with other IP. I would like to select the configuration trough the "NET_PROFILES=menu" line in /etc/rc.conf or with the "netcfg" command but I don't know how to configure TWO interfaces in ONE profile of the /etc/network-profiles/* files?
Both networks have Static IP.
I search on the forums and do not find anything useful. I'm sorry if is there something in other post that I doesn't read.

TuxLyn,
this netcfg profile works OK for me for a long time now:

Of course, yours is more circunvoluted, but perhaps it helps.

AirPort Express/D-Link Network Question

Hi,
Right now my set-up is as follows:
- DSL modem connected to old AirPort Snow
- Airport Snow connected to Ethernet switch, which is connected to desktop computer, and, via Ethernet cable, to AirPort Express on another floor
- Both AirPorts are configured to use the same network name with the same password. That way, I can roam with my MacBooks from one AirPort to another and the MacBooks won't have to log on to two separate networks.
At any rate, someone gave me a brand new D-Link DIR-655 Xtreme N router. I want to use this instead of the aging AirPort Snow for speed and coverage improvements. So my question is: can I set up a network essentially substituting the D-Link for the AirPort Snow, and having the D-Link and Airport Express configured with the same network name and password, as it is now?

Hi Joe,
You got the short answer from
b Henry B,
which will save you lots of aggravation.
But if you're as curious, as I was, here's some more info I came across. I thought naively that a simple wireless 'repeater' would be straightforward and would work across different vendors of wireless basestations.
Maybe it would? But the Airport Express implements something called a
b Wireless Distribution System
b (WDS),
which sounds to me more complicated than just a simple wireless repeater. Maybe it has something to do with also honouring the encryption in the wireless signal to be repeated, err extended? Apparently WDS implementations are not standardized and currently
b rarely
work across different brands of wireless basestations.
Although apparently several folks have been successful extending the range of
b linksys
brand wireless basestations using an Airport Express,
b IF
they first update (swap out?) the linksys firmware with another (open source) version. Whew!
Anyhooow, for your situation, a brute-force option might be to replace the Ethernet cord between the Rogers cable modem and the D-LINK with a longer cable, so you can move the D-LINK closer to Living Room. (Or possibly get a longer CATV cable and move both the cable modem and D-LINK). You could even try increasing the range of the PowerBook with one of those Quickertek antennas.
But I expect it would be
b cheaper and easier,
if it came to that, to just replace the D-LINK with a 2nd Airport Express, which would then inter-work with the Airport Express in the Living room, using
b WDS.
best of luck,
...ben

Time Capsule Network question,

Hi there,
I just wanted to try and get a better overview of what's happening with my TC.
I have a 2010 bought TC,
I live in a relatively small apartment so range and signal is not an issue,
When I first got it I set it up as automatic G and N compatibility, I thought that meant all N clients went on 5GHZ and everything else went 2.4GHZ,
What I realised then was that what was actually happening was that ALL clients were jumping on the 2.4GHZ network with the N clients connecting at about 144Mbps and the G clients at 54Mbps, I was really suprised at this behaviour and even MORE suprised to find out that if I manually ran a 5GHZ wide band network simultaneously with a slightly different SSID ie (Airport 2.4ghz, Airport 5ghz) that N clients would connect at 300Mbps on the 5GHZ network and G at 54Mpbs on the 2.4GHZ network, I can't find anywhere this is explained! and all of the websites that tell you how to set up time capsule never mention that you will get twice the performane with a seperate 5ghz band running. I can't see the downside to this and think it should be default behaviour? All clients can still communicate with each other regardless of which band they connect to.
I then tried to set up the guest network just out of interest and could see that my TC was now broadcasting 3 SSIDS! One for the 2.4ghz one for the 5ghz and one for the guest network.
So what frequency is this guest network broadcast in this configuration? Also is it possible to broadcast 4 SSIDS? One each for 2.4 and 5 ghz on the standard network and a 2.4 and 5 on the guest??
Also what are you thoughts regarding my original point of having to set up the 5ghz manually to get clients to connect at over 144Mbps?
Thanks,
Regards,
John

I can't see the downside to this and think it should be default behaviour?
Remember that Apple always tends to try to make things simple. It's much easier to tell a typical user that his computer will connect to the best available signal and leave it at that. Probably 90% of users don't even understand what dual band is.
You have a small apartment so signal strength is not an issue. But, it's a fact that 5 GHz signals are not nearly as strong as 2.4 GHz signals. After all, you can't get something for nothing. In the case of 5 GHz, you gain speed, but give up distance capability and penetration power.
In a larger home, if the default were to have a separate name for the 5 GHz network, a lot of users would not be able to connect using 5 GHz if the signal has to pass through multiple walls or a ceiling and a few walls. Even if they might get the 5 GHz signal, it will be much weaker. They will have a better, stronger and more reliable connection at 2.4 GHz in this case. Isn't that what they want?
The default setting of the AirPort is to let computers connect to the "best" available signal quality. True, the "best" quality signal may not be the "fastest" signal in some cases. Still, for most users, having one network name for both bands makes a lot of sense.
Users who are interested in advanced features and setup have an excellent resource in the Apple AirPort Networks Guide. It's right there on the main forum page for all to see. Did you not see this?
So what frequency is this guest network broadcast in this configuration?
The Guest network is dual band as well. You can't assign a separate name to the 5 GHz band on the Guest network. Both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands use the same network name or SSID.
Also is it possible to broadcast 4 SSIDS?
No, 3 would be the maximum.
Also what are you thoughts regarding my original point of having to set up the 5ghz manually to get clients to connect at over 144Mbps?
As a regular member of the forum assisting dozens of users each week, I've stated my opinion above. I dislike trying to generalize, but Apple made the right decision for most users with the present default settings. As I said, we spend a good deal of time just trying to explain what +dual band+ is.
You appear to be an advanced user interested in advanced features and settings on the router. That's good. We could use some more help on the forums, so please check the forum pages often and help us out when you see a question from a user asking about the more advanced features of the router.

HP Network checker with trademark symbol is enabled but unavailable in add-ons.

Hp Pavilion with Windows 7(64bit) updated to IE11 (64bit and 32bit). Why is HP Network checker with the trademark symbol enabled but listed as unavailable in manage add-ons. There is another one without the trademark listed under HP that is enabled and available? I'm asking because the HP Network Checker (cannot show this webpage) is bleeding in or only half way showing/covering part of the webpage I am on..example ehow webpage.

Share files in ibook - networking question

Hello, I have a networking question.
I have a brand spakin' new 13' MacBook Pro and an older 14' iBook G4 (with a broken airport wireless card).
My internet is set up so that I have the modem connected to a "wired" ethernet hub, then to an airport express. This way I have wireless for my new MacBook Pro, and I can connect my old iBook to the internet with a ethernet cable.
Herein lies my question: I want to access all my files on my ibook from my MacBook Pro. I've tried the file sharing and etc on system preferences, but for some reason it still doesn't work. I believe its because they are on different networks? (one wireless, one wired?)
Any ideas to make my ibook a simple file server.

Try repairing disk permissions.
*"The external HD has two partitions, one is a backup of the ibook, and the other has mixed media. When I access my ibook over the network, Only the backup partition appears, and not the mixed media partition. "* Try repairing permissions but not sure if that's going to work. Can't hurt to try.
Launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
Also, your profile indicates you are running 10.4.3. If that is the case, you might want to run Software Updates (from the Apple Menu , then click Software Updates.

Mounting network resources with winpeshl.ini

Hi,
Seems like network resources is not mapping with script that is called by winpeshl.ini.
However, If I use same script with startnet, network drive successfully mapped. (but this is not the requirement)
Question is I want to map network drive with winpeshl.ini ,,, is it possible, if yes how?
Googled it a bit and found following links, but none of them provides correct info.
http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/159076-winpeshlini-help/
