Obtaining manual ip, subnet & gateway from airport card

hello
i am having trouble getting my daughter's nintendo di to connect to my wireless network.
my wireless connection is generated from my mac pro airport card. the mac pro is connected via an ethernet connection and all mac devices have no trouble connecting to the network (my mbp and other friends macbook's).
i received an error code from the nintendo device and their support page recommends manually entering the ip address, subnet mask and gateway codes. Can anyone describe how to find those on my mac pro?
TIA

I don't know what it is you are doing but it surely sounds wrong. If you make a manual address configuration for the Nintendo do they give you an IP address to use or do you just supply one of your own? All IP addresses consist of four blocks of three digits each separated with a dot (period) such as 10.0.1.1. If you have to supply all three digits then the address would look like 010.000.001.001. Most devices need three addresses: a device IP address, a subnet mask, and a gateway or router address.
Since you are using your computer as the router or gateway via Internet Sharing you need to open Network preferences and select the Airport port that is active. Click on the Advanced button then click again on the tab labeled TCP/IP. You will find your local network's subnet mask and gateway address displayed. I believe you will see:
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.1.1
You need to use those values. You will also see a drop down menu labeled Configure IP4v. It is normally set for DHCP. Try setting it to DHCP with Manual addressing.
You then need an address for your device. If the manual gives you an address you are supposed to use then use that one. Otherwise you need to assign an address such as 10.0.1.150.

Just got my mac back from apple, airport card MIA

2 weeks ago the hard disk drive was acting funny and after attempts at repairing and reformatting apple decided the hardware had failed. After a long 2 weeks without my iMac I finally get it back with a fresh format, when I boot it up I don't seem to have the option of connecting to the internet wirelessly via my airport card.
I have also noticed a few other things, such as when I hold left control and mousewheel up to zoom in on the screen the frames per second drops DRASTICALLY, it didn't do this before. and for some reason "photo booth" is just a question mark on my dock and when I click it nothing happens.

Is it time to take my imac back to apple for another 2 weeks?

I went ahead and installed 10.5 as I had nothing else really going for me. And for the most part this seemed to clear ALL of my problems.
The only problem I am having now is that whenever I restart I must manually go into the internet options and select my wireless network from a list.

Is the AirPort Time Capsule only for backing up Macs or can I back up additional files from SD cards too as if it were an external hard drive?

I'm a professional photographer and I'm interested in the most recent features of the AirPort Time Capsule. I process a lot of data and much of it never hits my Mac hard drive. Currently I back up to external hard drives, but is it possible to back up files from SD cards mounted on my desktop on to the AirPort Time Capsule for instant access in the future as if the drive were an external hard drive (in addition to being a back up server)?
I appreciate input!

If your question is whether Time Machine can back up the data on the SD drives, the answer would be no.
The reason for this is that SD drives are formatted in Windows FAT16, which is not compatible with Time Machine, the backup application included with Macs.

Can you take an airport card from a G4 and put it in a G5?

I am trying to transfer an irport card from a G4 to a G5. The G5 shows the airport card but will not pick up a wireless account. Is the card compatable?

It is really confusing that Apple calls an internal wireless card an AirPort Exreme....and they also sell an outboard wireless router as an AirPort Extreme. See the link just below.
AirPort Extreme
Your post landed in the support area for the AirPort Extreme wireless router.
You will have a much faster and more informed response if you post your question in the G4 and G5 support area. See the link below
Power Mac
It's possible that someone who is using the G4 and G5 might see your post here....but it is also extremely unlikely.

Can't boot from install disk, and says no airport card installed, HELP!

I bought a new Macbook Pro a few months ago, which recently had to go in for repair to have the screen changed. It came back with the new screen fitted but they had done a terrible job at aligning the lid, so it went back again. Came back and all looked good, until i booted up and realized that where my wifi icon is at the top of the screen, it wasn't connected. When clicking it to bring down the drop down menu of available wifi spots, all it said was "No Airport Card Installed"....Thinking a repair of disk permissions might be worth trying, I tried to boot from my OSX install disk holding down C, however when holding down C all it does is go on a constant loop of restarting, not even reaching the Apple logo. If I don't hold down C then it simply boots to the desktop, so i'm unable to access disk utility correctly to run a repair.
Being pretty fedup with the whole situation, the laptop has now gone back for a 3rd time, as it never had these two issues before. I was just wondering if anyone had any idea what might have caused this? And how a status of no airport card installed and a drive that wont boot a disk normally can be related?
I'll be getting it back on Tuesday, but i just wanted to know what the heck they might have done to have screwed things up.
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
I can't say for sure, but it sounds to me like they didn't reconnect the WiFi hardware when replacing the screen. To my knowledge, the Airport "hardware" (including the antenna) is located inside the screen hinge. When the screen was replaced (and the hinge not properly aligned) perhaps someone improperly connected the Airport hardware, or forgot to connect it entirely.
The reason the WiFi hardware is located in the hinge is because that is the only plastic area of the entire notebook. Radio signals do not travel well through aluminum, so some area of the computer has to be plastic to allow that signal to get through. The hinge is the only area where that's possible.
As for the reason why the machine wouldn't boot up from the disc, I have no idea. Here's hoping it does when it comes back. If I were you, I'd have a chat with Apple Customer Relations about the situation.

Error when setting up gateway on local system: "Unable to obtain the anti-forgery token from Host Service"

I have created an account in Office 365 to try Power BI, and have set up the Power BI site so far.
Now i want to add few data sources, for which i guess i would need to do the following:
1) Create a gateway (i have done this)
2) Download and Install the gateway on my local machine (Installed on my 64bit windows 8.1 laptop)
3) Run Data Management Gateway configuration manager wizard to setup up the gateway.
At this step, when i enter the Gateway Key (copied from the Power BI Site), i am getting error "unable to obtain the anti-forgery token from Host Service".
Where should i head next?
Vishal Soni

Hey Hubery,
Its working now. Thanks for the tips.
Few things that i learnt here:
1) You'll need to turn the firewalls off for the local system. (I am not sure if this is required, but i just did this and it started working for me).
2) When you are creating the gateway on Power BI site, you click on Create new gateway, and it shows you the security key. Previously i just copied and saved this key and click Finish at this step (which i guess should not be done). What we need to do is
to keep this screen ON, download and run the Gateway setup wizard and complete the setup, while keeping the page open in power BI site.
I am getting the Gateway up and running now.

Can I use the airport card from an Apple gen1Apple TV in a G4 Mac Mini?

Can I use the airport card from an Apple gen1Apple TV in a G4 Mac Mini?

I would say no since this

says the 1G Apple TV uses the same card as a Mac Pro and those do not work in a G4 Mac

The description of your machine (2 ghz MacBook) can describe maybe three different generations of the original polycarbonate MacBook.
If your machine is a Core 2 Duo MacBook that came out before the late 2007 models - $2.49 Canadian. It's all done in software, and won't work on the Core Duo models. The equivalent enabling software also comes on a disc if you get the latest 802.11n Apple AirPort Extreme or AirPort Express base stations.

Before you buy, you can check to see if your machine already has it.

Airport card from mini?

Seasonal felicitations to you all.
I have a mac mini intel which is connected with ethernet and never with wireless.
I have an emac coming which can take a wireless extreme card, and I would like to use it wirelessly.
Can I remove the card from the mini and put it in the emac. Will the mini throw a hissy fit or anything?
Many thanks

Merry Christmas from snow-covered Idaho!
For better info on whether the mini's Airport card is removable, you may find it worthwhile to ask in the Mac Mini forums. It could be a special card, or soldered to the logic board, or the mini may not run without it. It would be nice to know before tearing into a working computer that's not so easy to take apart.

MacPro with no airport card + airport express

Got an Ipad last week. Got an Airport Express this week. Tried to setup a wifi network since 2 days trough ADSL modem. Mac Pro as no Airport Card. Ethernet port 1 goes to modem. Ethernet port 2 goes to Airport Express. Successfully configure Airport Express from MacPro. Can see network from Ipad but no internet connection. The question is: Am I loosing my time? Is there a way to setup so that I can get internet on Ipad?
Thanks.

Hey Bersan, I know it was a long time ago, but i'm trying to do exactly the same right now, but you did not post one information:
1* Enable Internet sharing from Ethernet 1 (PPP) to Ethernet 2 (Airport Express).
2* Manually configure IPv4 on Port 2 with address 192.168.2.1. Submask at 255.255.255.0 And the Router? What do i put???
3* In Airport Utility create a wireless network. Setup connect via Ethernet.
4* Share connection should be deactivate (bridge mode).
5* Manually configure IPv4 in menu TCP/IP.
IP:192.168.2.12
Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
Router:192.168.2.1
DNS:192.168.2.1
You did not explain how to fill the "router" field on the Ethernet 2 form...
Can you help me?
Cheers!

What is needed to network 2 computers using Airport card

I know I need an airport card in my eMac, but is there any other cards that have to be in the computer? I want to network my eMac with an iMac using a DSL line. The eMac will be downstairs and the iMac will be upstairs. I'm waiting for delivery from Apple of the iMac. It has everything built in that is needed to network but my eMac doesn't. To make my eMac wireless is all I have to buy is an Airport Card and a Wireless Gateway for the iMac which is the computer connected to the DSL modem and Wireless USB adapter with connects to the eMac? What type of Airport Card do I need to buy for my eMac (model #'s etc.) It is the card that inserts above the super drive in the front of the computer. Is there any software that is needed to install Airport?

I am also doing some configuration changes (we have one Imac and two eMac's)
but one eMac does not have a airport card and is hardwired (ethernet) to the high speed cable modem then a apple airport. One Imac and the Emac with a airport card work fine, it is a bit tricky finding the correct airport card (or airport extreme card if you have a ATI graphics card (use about the mac/system profiler then click on more to see if you have a graphics card (which affects which airport card you need, there are alot of resellers on the net so you should find what you want.
If in doubt there is a free program mactracker which provides data on every mac made (available off off versiontracker.com (free site just register) it will guide
you on the type of card needed. I was quite amazed at the amount of different spec eMac's made in their relativealy short history.
Macwireless.com does sell eMac cards (for two models) but also antenna type
or flash drive appearing USB based wireless connectors that may help.
I found the mactracker program helpful (alot) as alot of web sites provide some vague info and I would hate to se you get stuck with a non returnable card.
The actual card install does not look hard (its done through the cd rom drive door.
I am not sure why we did not get a airport card for ours when we bought it.
Wish I did as it would have saved some $ (maybe) and surf time making sure I find the right one.
We did have a antenna wireless antenna for a "green" Imac (long gone) and it ran on OS9 but it was finicky when we had the airport base station upstairs
and the Imac and antenna in the basement (about 50-75 feet)
Best of luck
Hope this helps, I am not a expert, the serial number on the cd drawer will
nail down the model you have and what you need.
We have been working adding a laser printer and airport express and the two macs with cards work fine but the Emac with no card can not be set up yet. The laser printer will sure save on ink!

Airport card works in 10.1, HW test passes, but not detected at all in 10.4

Ok, Hi. I'll first admit this is my first post so go easy on me!
I just bought a used iBook G3 and it was working fine for a while until about a month ago when all kinds of weird things stared happening. Some of which those problems I solved from reading previous topics from these forums - but anyways, I'll skip all my other problems and get right to my current one.
First off here is the complete specs:
12.1" iBook G3 "dual USB series"
500MHz PPC processor
128+256MB ram = 384MB RAM
15GB hard drive (NOW 160GB HARD DRIVE!)
No Airport Card (NOW ONE HAS BEEN ADDED!)
Multiple OS's - OS9 and 10.1 were included (have original disks)
I also have a set of 10.4 Tiger CD-ROM disks
Anyways, here is basically what is happening. I bought an Airport card off eBay for my iBook. I installed it about a week ago. I booted into 10.4 Tiger and it did not detect the card. Tried to do the manual setup with the wizard and it said there was no card attached. I went into the system profiler and is said No info available under the airport section. I then booted to my "apple hardware test disk" and ran the full/extended test. It passed everything (including the Airport card) so I know that is not the problem. I then booted into OS X 10.1 and lone behold the card is detected and is working without any fooling around with! Instant wireless internet! So I know that the card is working, but I want to use it in Tiger as 10.1 is almost worthless. So I boot into Tiger again knowing that the card is working, and Tiger still does not recognize it! I even booted into OS 9 and it detected the card (although it was having some connection problems, but at least I know that it IS detecting it.)
Here is what I tried (so you can cross these suggestions off your list! lol)
I've deleted the Airport "ktext" files, etc. (can't remember the actual names of the files, but I've cleared all of those caches and still no luck.)
I've zapped PRAM
I rest NVRAM
I rest the PMU.
I did a Arcive and install of 10.4
...All of which did not help. Again, the card worked in 10.1, but 10.4 is completely blind and can't find it!
Now we are caught up to today. I was having many other odd problems and it all lead to my hard drive probably being bad. So toady I finally bit the bullet and bought a new hard drive from Best Buy. It took me forever to install it, but I did it, and it works! Now I have 160GB (make that only 128GB detected) of space. I partitioned it 4 ways as well:
"Tiger" - 80GB
"Other OS" - 30GB
"Extra Space 1" - 10GB
"Extra Space 2" - 8GB
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx- 128GB Total
So now that I have a new hard drive (that I was told would fix all of my problems because my old one was "bad" I thought I would have it working today, but no. So I put in the brand new drive, partitioned it, booted off my Tiger disk, installed it on the 80GB partition. The install went fine. So I now have 10.4 on the new drive. Seems to be a lot faster then my old drive! I did the combo updater (which I downloaded on my iMac and transfered to a flash drive and loaded on to my iBook) Ran the updater, and now it is running 10.4.11! But then I realized, the Airport card is STILL not detected in Tiger!!! - I thought the new hard drive would solve all my problems as I was staring from scratch, but no, there is still a problem!
I ran the Apple hardware test disk again, full test, and it said my Airport card is still fine. I didn't reinstall 10.1 yet (nor did I want to, I was hoping Tiger would work for what I wanted) but it seems now that I might have to go back and install 10.1 again. I don't know what it will prove - other then it will work again, but I don't want to use 10.1 so I'm not going to bother doing all that again.
Anyways, after looking into this further, I brought up the system boot log (of tiger) and found these lines interesting, and hopefully useful to you guys:
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortFirmware: start Sta f/w download
localhost DirectoryService[64]: Lunched version 1.8 (v346)
localhost kernel[0]: AirPortDriver: F/W download failed
it then lists the eithernet address and then ramblers on about other nonsense. If anyone needs the other "stuff" i'll try and save the whole log file and attach it here if anyone needs it.
So could anyone please help? It seems as if i've done everything, and still can not get an answer on why it is doing this, and how to fix it!
Please Help!
Thanks you so much, and sorry for the long yet detailed message!!!

Hey, just wanted to post an update to let everyone know what I ended up doing.
Bottom line with the airport card I had is that is was "bad" - well only kind of. I got an email from a guy from a local PC repair shop. He told me he had just gotten one of those cards in and had it for sale for only $25. So I was chatting with this guy and he said it would be alright if I brought my iBook right in his shop, swap the cards and try it before I buy it. So I did so. Very nice guy and we swapped out the cards no problem. Right away it recognized his card and worked! I then downloaded the Airport update and ran it. (remember before, when I tried to update my card, after it restarted it was no longer recognized.) So we did the update with HIS card in and after it restarted, it STILL worked! It also added WPA support as well! We then booted into to Tiger (remember the old card wasn't recognized at all in tiger) and it ALSO worked in Tiger! I also had WPA support right away! So I bought the card and was all happy that it was all working again! I then figured out what the problem was with the old one.
My original card was one of the "original" originals. Then, Apple "changed" the original cards and replaced ones with "128bit" support. (this is all before the extreme cards) I then found out that the newer original cards (the one the guy just sold me) are worth MORE because these are the cards that are compatible with the newer update (128bit WEP, and WPA) The cards looked exactly the same, but the newer card has "128 Bit" printed on the bottom of the card.
SO, it ended up, I was "asking too much" out of the card I had - as the card I had did not support what I was trying for it to do. Where as the newer card I bought IS compatible with the update, and worked like a piece of cake. So all in all, the first card I had isn't "dead" it just wasn't working with what I wanted it to. So I'm going to end up selling it. Hopefully craigslist, but I will get more for it on eBay. so that is what I'm going to do. I'll just make sure to tell people this "story" so they don't try and do the same thing I did. But for someone with an even older laptop, an older OS, or an older router, this card will work just fine for them.
So thats basically it! Looks like I got everything working!

Airport card connected but safari not connected to internet

Running os 10.4.1 on IMAC g5 with airport card.
i am having some wireless network issues. when i try to connect to the linksys router that my airport card locates it tells me that i am connected to the network; but when i try to load a page in Safari it tells me that i am not connected to the internet. Internet Explorer gives me the same message.
i have been able to test my airport card by logging into another (neighbor's) network (just for testing). it received DHCP from that router and assigned a 198.162.x.x. IP address for my computer. i originally had the same issue as far as being connected but safari wouldnt open web pages. i manually plugged in DNS numbers 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 from OPEN DNS.com and Safari instantly loaded web pages.
when i try to do the same on the linksys network my airport card connects but Safari once again will not connect to the internet. I am receiving a DHCP IP address automatically from that router but cannot connect to the internet...
PLEASE HELP ME (it's driving me crazy!)

Oh man... since my last post (all of 15 minutes ago) my iMac now cannot connect to the network at all. The network status menu widget shows it as being connected (sometimes), but it can't actually connect to anything.
Just as an experiment, I turned off MAC address filtering on the base station. Didn't help.
