New Computer to WIRED ethernet

In a few days my new desktop computer will arrive from Dell.  I'm currently using the WRT54GS Router "wirelessly" with my laptop.  I cloned my laptops MAC address to the rounter.  I will use the desktop connected to the router's ethernet port.  Will I be able to just connect the desktop and be up and running?

If you enable DHCP setting on the router, then you can configure desktop computer to get the IP automatically from the router.

  • I have a new MBRP. On wired ethernet it can be used as a wireless hotspot. Since 802.11ac gets better range I'd like to use it with 802.11ac as a hotspot for my older 802.11g/ndevices. Can I do that ?

    I know that if I use wired ethernet then the  MBRP can be a wirelss hotspot for other devices. Since the MBRP supports 802.11ac and I have a new 802.11ac wireless router it gets much better range than my older 802.11/n devices.  There are places in teh house where the MBRP connects to the wireless but where older 802.11g/n devices lare out of range. In those rooms I'd like to use my MBRP connected to the network wirelessly using 802.11ac as a hotspot for the nearby 802.11 g/n devices. Anyone know if that can be done and how to do it ?

    Turn on Internet Sharing in Sharing preferences. Share the Ethernet connection to wireless.

  • I just bought an AirPort express. Currently I have a qwest wired router plugged into the back of my computer via an ethernet cable. Can I just unplug the ethernet cable and plug it into the AirPort express, then use the setup utility?

    I just bought an AirPort express. Currently I have a qwest wired router plugged into the back of my computer via an ethernet cable. Can I just unplug the ethernet cable and plug it into the AirPort express, then use the setup utility? Most of the discussions involve an existing wireless network. I don't have one.

    Correct. That's the way to set up the AirPort Express. After connecting your AirPort Express to the router, open AirPort Utility (in /Applications/Utilities) and follow the steps

  • New computer cannot see cFP-2000 via ethernet

    I set up a cFP-2000 block to connect via ethernet on my computer fine (directly connected, not through a network).  Now I want to connect it to a different computer and I can not get MAX to see the device.  I have a crossover cable from my new computer to the cFP-2000.  When I open max, it will not see that there is a device connected in the remote systems section.  What do I need to do to get the new computer to see the cFP unit I have hooked up?  I am running Windows 2000, Labview 7.1, and Fieldpoint 4.1.

    Ok, still no luck.  Here is what I have tried:
    Assigned the exact same IP address to the new computer as the first computer.
    Also tried just obtaining automatically.
    Assigned the same subnet mask (255.255.0.0) to the new computer as the old computer (and same as Fieldpoint).
    Tried playing with the network port changing the duplex settings.
    Tried using a hub to connect.  The hub worked if I tried to connect to the first computer that I set up the fieldpoint on, then it wouldn't work with the new computer.
    When I connect the ethernet cable from the new computer to the cFP-2000, I don't get any lights. 
    I am pretty lost as to what is going on here.  I have no problem connecting to the cFP-2000 when I have it hooked up to the computer I first configured it on.  Then when I connect it exactly the same way to a new computer, I can't see it in my remote systems and there are no green or yellow lights on the FP ethernet connector.

  • My new computer won't recognize my printer (HP4500 Officejet Wireless) in the wireless or wired mode

    MY new computer won't recognize my printer in either the connected or wireless mode.  When I hit "search for printers" it finds my neighbors wireless printer 100 yards away, and another net, but not mine sitting right beside it.

    Hi,
    Have you installed its software abd drivers on your computer yet ? Please use the CD which came with the printer. By the way, what is your Officejet 4500 ? It must be G510something.
    Regards.

  • How do I copy my old profile folder to a new computer with Firefox 4?

    Hey, I saved my old profile folder from my previous Firefox 4 installation on my old computer. I installed FF4 on the new computer. I tried placing the old profile files on the new profile folder, but when I start Firefox, it doesn't show any of my passwords or bookmarks. Do you know how to solve it? I used to do this before 4 and had no problem. Thanks!

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    Any highspeed wired connection will work from a cat 5 or 6 cable to and ethernet network to firewire

  • How to set up printers using wired ethernet without appletalk

    Curse of Snow Leopard. I've spent an hour or more reading posts to no avail. I have a couple of macs on a wired ethernet network and a couple of older printers. Everything was a breeze to set up using Appletalk but now that I have a nice new Mac Pro and OS 10.6 I'm stuck.
    Can someone walk me through this process step by step? Or point me to instructions I can understand? I know the printer IP addresses. I know that for the computers I'm using DHCP which I vaguely know has something to do with the internet. I get that these addresses change and that's bad for sending to a printer. I do not get how to change the printer addresses--they are programmed in to the hardware in both (old--from the '90s). I also don't have a clue what the difference is between IP printer, LPD printer, etc. I can get the system to see the printers and I can set them up but nothing prints. Yes, I could use a print server running an older OS with Appletalk but I'd really like not to have to--power, heat, noisy fans, more boxes and monitors in my workspace.

    Well, I suggest you do some experimenting - try IP > HP Jetdirect protocol instead of LPD (Jetdirect doesn't require a queue name).
    I have seen other queue name possibilities mentioned on the web - PS (means send to the postscript queue), PCL (means send to the PCL queue), and text (means send to an unfiltered text queue).
    text may be a good first try for queue name - to see if anything will work.
    Have you tried pinging that IP address to make sure it is right? Is your computer's IP address in that same subnet 192.168.1.xxx?

  • Error 36 when connecting to wired ethernet network

    I'm trying to connect my new iMac to my existing wired ethernet network. The network has been functioning for some time with 2 PCs connected to a router which is connected to a cable modem.
    I have added the iMac by connecting it to the router. I am able to get the iMac connected to the internet via this setup. The problem is when I try to connect to one of the PCs from the iMac I get error 36. I have tried all the server addreses I can think of. (smb://ip address of the PC/shared drive letter; smb://computer name/share drive letter). It works on it for a while then kicks out the error message. I have "pinged" the PC and it is connected. File sharing is enabled both on th iMac and the PC.
    Apple support says this is a Windows problem and has left me high and dry even though this is supposed to be seamless.
    Please help.

    While waiting to be connected to a "product specialist" on Apple Tech Support I figured this out. First get the ip address for the PC you want to connect to by going to Start> Run>type cmd <enter>. Then type ipconfig <enter>. note "ip address". On the Mac Go>connect type smb://ip address for the PC click continue and you will get the sign on dialogue for the PC.
    I am now happily copying my 4000 music files.

  • I need to transfer Pages documents to new computer.

    How do I transfer  Pages documents to new computer?

    Be more precise: is it is new mac, and want to transfer data? is it another PC running Windows/Linux of someone else or yours?
    Note that Pages format is not recognized on other platforms, you must first export it is a rtf or doc or PDF format. If a mac-to-mac transfer, you may copy Pages files just like any other format. You may connect the two macs or mac and pc via wilreless network or via an ethernet cable or, if both macs, via firewire cable, if both have one (not always) or you may use an external drive as an intermediate support for migrating.
    If you more precise in offering details about what you need, perhaps we may be more useful. It is also important to know what size? if you have, say, 1 GB of files, a wl connections would suffice, if many GBs, perhaps a wired connection is better, it will be faster. All details are important.

  • Hand me down computer with no ethernet hookup.....

    hi there.  im wondering id there is any hope for my situation.  my daughter inherited a hand-me-down computer (and its actually very nice.)  it does not have an ethernet connection because it had never been used for the internet, just for the previous kids to play their cd-roms on.
    we have 2 computer in our house already connected thru our linksys wrt54g v8 router.  mama compter is hard-wired, and my baby laptop is wireless.   we wanted to add the step-child computer to the network and especially so my daughter can have internet.
    we bought a usb wireless adapter and got everything ready to go until i doscovered that i can not for the life of me find the linksys installation cd! *slapping self upside head*
    i did go to the suport page for the wrt54g v8 and downloaded the following:
    pdf - users guide,  pdf - data sheet,  text doc - release notes,  and a .bin  called:
    FW_WRT54Gv8_800.6.005_20080616.0
    i have trensferred it to the s-c computer with the memory stick, but there it sits because i domt know how to open a .bin file and if i did, i dont what to do with it if it were opened or read or whatever the file is  supposed to do.
    and furthernore (*grin*) i dont even know if this file ive downloaded and copied to the s-c computer is even the file needed for installation of if its just an upgrade to firmware.
    is there any hope for the step-child computer or is it doomed unless i get a in-board adapter with ethernet?  the thought process on that prospect is this free hand-me-down computer is starting to add up as weve already boaught a mouse and keyboard as well as the usb wireless adapter.  if im SOL on getting linksys installed to this computer im gonna be so so so sad.
    with that said, if i am SOL, please break it to me gently. 
    Message Edited by betcsu on 08-03-2009 06:19 PM

    thats not what im trying to do. 
    i sinply want to add my new/used computer to the network using a usb wireless adapter.
    i do not have the installation cd and the new/used computer doiesnt have ethernet for me to use the web baed utlity.
    is there a d/l of the installation cd somewhere?  i can not believe i acnt find the dumb cd!  i used it just last month when i re-formatted the kids computer and now i cant find it to add this computer. UGH!  is there anything i can do to get this new/old computer on the net for my daughter.  SHES_DRIVING_ME_BONKERS! 

  • Mac-Mini wont connect to wired ethernet

    I can not get my Mac-Mini to connect to the internet via a wired ethernet cable. When I try to connect it says it is getting an IP address and then boots out and tries again. Its a never ending cycle. It does this in both OS X, and Windows. Do I have a bum network card?

    Hi Steve,
    Some ISPs can be fussy about the number of devices you connect to the internet.
    If the Modem routes then it tends to be this network card that is in effect "registered" with the ISP.
    If you have a cable modem then a Router then the router tends to be the device "registered".
    If no router then that is obviously you computer's MAC address.
    Some ISPs will go as far as requesting to actually type in the MAC card address and formally request to change it.
    It sounds like you have here a system of monitoring that is not that "up front" and causes problems enough for people to have several computers and just swap them.
    I would guess it allows one change, like you would need if you have a new computer.

  • Problem connecting to internet with wired ethernet

    Shortly after installing the Leopard 10.5.2 update, I could not connect to the internet through the wired ethernet connection. Connected wireless with no problem. Spent time with Apple tech. Determined that the machine was fine. Told to check the wall port. Had a windows PC connect fine through same cable and wall port. Also brought the MacBook to a different location. Connected to the ethernet port and connected to the internet successfully. Determined that the MacBook kept using an IP address of 192.168.1.103. This is the wrong address for my connection. The correct IP address is 172.16.7.1. Installed this address manually in the MacBook and established a connection. The MacBook cannot seem to connect automatically at this location. The Windows PC connects fine. The MacBook keeps coming up with the wrong IP address. Any idea what could be causing this??

    The IP address when connected to a router will start with 192.168.x.x.
    When connected to a modem you will get a different address.
    When you connect to a cable modem for the first time it looks at the Media Access Control (MAC) address of whatever is connected.
    It is a unique number for your device.
    It only attaches to one device and provides an internet connection to that device by way of an IP address.
    If you wish to connect another device and get an IP address for that new device, you need the modem to start over, since it has a monogamous relationship with the connected device.
    In order to have the modem drop its relationship, it needs to be restarted.
    This is not true of a dsl modem.
    It sounds like your modem has linked with the MAC address of the router.
    In order to connect directly to the modem and get it to link to your computer, you need to unplug the router from power.
    Disconnect its ethernet cable.
    Restart the modem after about 15 seconds and wait until it restarts, about 2 minutes.
    Then reconnect the modem and you will likely be able to connect to the internet.

  • Internet links don't load on new computer

    I just bought my son a new computer. At my house it loads anything I want on the internet. But at his house it can only initially access the internet and sometimes give a list of search results. But when you click any link or type in an address, the page tries to load but never succeeds. This happens with Firefox, Chrome, and IE. He has no internet problems with his old computer which runs Vista. The new computer is an eMachine 1360G computer. It is wired and runs Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, and has 10/100/1000 Ethernet. He has no router. His modem says Verizon model 6100F. It is a Westell model P90-610015-06. It also says ADSL2+ Modem. I don't know what service level he has from Verizon. Thank you for your help.
