PEAP encryption over wired network?

I have Wicd in LXDE and loving it, but the problem is there isn't wireless availability in my room. So I'm trying to find a way to connect to PEAP over wired, an issue which the Wicd people say they've never run into.
The example configs and everything else seems to be geared toward wireless, but there's almost nothing I can find for encryption over wired, and frankly I can't do EVERYTHING in the building lobby.
----------FIXED----------
I had Arch before and liked it just dandy, but switched for a little while to Ubuntu. Now I'd like to try it again, but I've got a problem: I'm on a University network and both the hardwire and the wireless are encrypted. The wireless is WPA enterprise and the wired is 802.1x, both are PEAP Version 0 with MSCHAPv2.
I had absolutely no problem getting Arch setup back home when I could use the ethernet cable and get everything downloaded/installed, then I'd throw Wicd into the mix and bingo bango I'm set up. Problem is all my googling and searching has given me no indication of how to proceed with installation if my network requires authentication. It's proving a bit of a roadblock.
-------END OLD PROBLEM---------

We have a simmilar setup at our dorms, and my config looks like this for wpa_supplicant
network={
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
eap=PEAP
phase1="peaplabel=0"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
ca_cert="/path/to/root.crt"
identity="" #your username
password="" #your password
Use the wired driver, and it should work.

Make TC invisible over wired network.

Is there a way to hide the time capsule over the wired network? Other Macs in the building can see and choose my TC as a TM backup location, its password protected so they can't, but I want to hide my TM completely. I have already created a closed wireless network so nobody can see it but its broadcasting its name over the wired to all other macs. Thanks for your help.

Yes, but it is complicated.

For most people disk password or user profiles would be enough.. plainly they can choose the TC for TM but without actual passwords they can never accomplish that task. I am not sure what you gain by completely hiding it.. ??
Same as closed wireless network btw.. anybody who knows about wireless is not going to be tricked by hidden ssid. It is the password which protects you.. not the hidden ssid.
Anyhow.. tell me how you get internet?
And how is the TC connected to the network?
Does it have to be connected for other clients you own to get access to the internet? ie if you are the only person using it.. can we establish a private network to the TC.. would that bother you?
We can only partly hide it in the main network.. in that again, just like a hidden ssid.. anyone who knows about networking can find it.. Isolated from the network nobody can access it at all.

Printer Sharing works over wired network not over Airport - Why is this ?

Computer A (eMac, 10.2.8) has HP Laserjet connected via USB. Settings : Printer Sharing On, Firewall Off.
Computer B (G4 iBook, OS 10.3.9) when connected via ethernet cable (via router which shares my DSL line) can see and print the HP Laserjet.
Computer B when Airport turned on to join network via AX (plugged into router) cannot see any shared printers. Nor can I add Rendezvous, Appletalk or other printers.
I only just added Airport capability to the iBook, other network features (internet access, file-sharing with eMac etc) all seem to work fine.
If I plug the Ethernet cable in, computer B can now see the shared printer. If I then unplug the Ethernet cable, reverting the computer B to Airport access only, I can see and print to the shared printer.
Clearly, therefore I can print over Airport to the shared printer, but the mechanism of plugging in and then unplugging the ethernet cable isn't exactly an advert for Apple simplicity and elegance.
Would anyone care to enlighten me as to what is going on and how to fix it properly ?
Kind Regards

Greg,
many thanks for the prompt reply, and this looks a good suggestion. To clarify; I have a wired router (Netgear, can't remember exact model) and 2 Airport Express (which I call AX-A and AX-B). I use AX-A as a wireless access point and it is wired into the Netgear router. AX-B is used to provide internet access to an older iMac in a remote part of the house (not that my house is very big or anything, and is not (I believe) relevant to my printer sharing issue.
I am now using AX-A to allow my iBook to join the network. I will check when I return home, but believe the AX is already set up not to distribute IP addresses - these are from the (wired) router.
Cheers

Connecting to Airport Express speakers over wired network

I have my speakers plugged into my Airport Express and obviously computers connected to it via WiFi are able to stream music to the speakers through iTunes.
I am at university and there are many users on the network, and my Airport is setup to simply act as an access point. Is there any way users on the network (NOT the wireless itself) can connect to my speakers through iTunes?
So far I have tried turning on sharing the speakers and telling other computers to look for them but have had no luck. My computer is able to connect to them but only when connected to the wireless.

Many thanks for your replies.
I do in fact have my Airport set to Bridge Mode, but this unfortunately does not seem to make any difference. Other users' iTunes still cannot see the AirTunes speakers.
I was reading this guide - http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/228336.html - and it seems the poster, Daniel, had managed to get other devices on the network (wired, not wireless) to stream music to the Airtunes speakers, so perhaps it is possible but there is something I am doing wrong. Any ideas?

Timemachine only connects over wired network

Hi
I have an iBook G4 running 10.5.8. Recently I purchased a NAS box (Buffalo Linkstation) with the intention of using Time Machine to back up my ibook. After a bit of fiddling around with setup everything was working fine, for about a month. Now Time Machine can no longer see the sparsebundle image on my NAS box even though I can mount the volume via AFP and Samba. As far as I know I haven't changed any configuration settings on either the NAS, the iBook or my wireless router.
I was all ready to blame the NAS and send it back, then I noticed a curious thing. If I connect my iBook to wired ethernet everything works fine again, Time Machine can see the volume, connect and backup no problems. Disconnect ethernet and turn on Airport, nothing works again. I don't think it is the quality of wi-fi connection as I have run some network quality tests and it is comparable to wired ethernet.
I am at a complete loss, does anybody have any ideas please? Any technical information on the mechanisms Time Machine uses to scan for backup volumes might also be useful?
Thanks in advance

I got Time Machine to work with the NAS volume by changing the following command line setting.
"defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1"
As that command makes clear, Time Machine does not work well, if at all, with most network drives. See this Apple article: Disks that can be used with Time Machine.
Use this at your own risk: First, since it 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.
From a post in another forum (found by V.K.):
The technical reason why Apple limits Time Machine to 10.5 AFP volumes appears to be to prevent disk image corruption. There were additional features added to AFP in 10.5 to support Time Machine. These presumably allow the disk image engine to force disk image journal data to write out all the way to the disk. Without such features, a network interruption can result in a corrupted filesystem on the disk image despite journaling. Remember, journaling relies on the journal being written all the way to disk before the changes take place. If you can't guarantee that (e.g., because of network/NAS buffering) then the journal is useless. Time Machine appears to rely heavily on disk journaling to deal with network drop-outs, interrupted backups, and the like. Take this away and your data is at risk.
If the NAS you are using supports these features it should report them to the OS and you should natively be able to choose that volume. If you have to trick the OS to use the volume it means the NAS does not support it.
Since you had to use that command to get it to work, most likely you will not be able to do a full system restore from those backups.
To summarize: if you care about your backup data you should avoid using non-natively supported AFP servers.
That post obviously applies to Leopard; Snow Leopard appears to have added some requirements, that are also not supported by many NAS devices: some that were working with Leopard no longer work with Snow Leopard.
Since you had to use that command to get it to work, most likely you will not be able to do a full system restore from those backups (per #14 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum).

LJ 4050 PCL 5, wired network, win8.1, very long between pages.

I have Dell Inspirion 15R with Win 8.1, printing to 4050 over wired network. Print speed per page is fine, but the printer will print 1-2 pages, then pause, then print some more. Only the "processing" msg on the printer tells me it is still working. I use same laptop on a wireless network to a different HP printer and there is no delay between pages. Others using Windows 7 do not have same problem. Driver is the latest. Is this a problem with port or print queue ?
Thanks

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Commercial Forums.

Wired Networking if you can...

With all the complaints about the ATV and wireless that I've read on here (not to discount any of those mind you) I decided to check what kind of throughput I could get over my simple switched ethernet connection. The result? During syncing my Mac Mini (over 100 Mb ethernet) was able to sustain throughput of 10.5 MB/sec and burst up to 11.7 MB/sec (thus between 84 and 94 Mbps throughput). The Apple TV has got to be one of the best devices I've ever worked with when it comes to throughput over wired networks. I don't get that can kind of speed in between my Mac Mini and my PC. Moral of the story: If you can run a cable, run a cable and save yourself the headaches of wireless.

Yes I agree about the ethernet , make sure you use cat 6 cable. I get sustained thru put of 11.78 M/sec although wireless N set at 5 GHZ and multi cast at 12 I still get 10.5 peak but around 8.5 to 9.5 average.

ACS 5.4 with DACL over wireless and wired network

Hi my name is Ivan, I have a question
I have a deployment in my network wired at this way:
Profile 1: corporate's users are working with 802.1X to authenticate computers and users with eap peap mschap v2 and Mac Filtering configuring in the Cisco WLC. My ACS 5.4 is integrate to the Active Directory.
Profile 2: Telephonies IP authenticate with MAB. All the Mac Address are registered in to the ACS locally.
Profile 3: user guest authenticate with portal web from Cisco Wireless Lan Controller over the wired network, and the account exist in to the WLC Lobby Ambassador
A my deployment in the wireless network is in this way:
Flex Connect with central authentication and local switching to connect 15 sites over the wan network.
SSID 1: users corporate working with 802.1X to authenticate users with peap mschap v2 and Mac Filtering configuring in the Cisco WLC. My ACS 5.4 is integrate to Active Directory.
SSID 2: users guest working with portal web from Cisco Wireless Lan Controller over the wireless network, and the account exist in to the WLC Lobby Ambassador.
I would like to configure in the Cisco ACS 5.4 Downloadable Access List (DACL) to use in my network wired and wireless.
How can I do it to my scenary?
Please could you help me?
Regards
Ivan.

Hello. To avoid confusion, let's divide the WLC based upon the operating system.
There are WLCs who run AirOS. That includes WLC 4400, but also includes WLC 5500.
There are WLCs who run IOS-XE. That includes the new Catalyst 3850-X and WLC 5700. (also I think can run AirOS too).
IOS-XE fully support DACL. On the other hand AirOS support DACL partially.
From ACS point of view, when you configure DACL for IOS you configure not only the name of the access-list, but also the access-list entries. That way the IOS devices don't need to have the ACLs pre-configured. This is great because you only need to create and update the access-list entries from only one place (which is ACS) and deploy easily to hundreds of switches.
On the other hand, when ACS configures DACL for AirOS it can only specify the name of the access-list. The AirOS device needs to configure the access-list with a name exactly as configured on the ACS. Sadly, each AirOS device also needs to configure all acess-list entries.
It seems you want to configure DACL along with other attributes. If you explain me a little more your requirement I can show you what to configure.
Best regards

EAP-TLS for Wireless network and PEAP for wired network

Hello,
it is possible to use EAP-TLS for Wireless network and PEAP for wired network on the same laptop (Windows 7).
Thank you in advance.

No "Wake for network access" over wired LAN

Hello,
I could not get “Wake for network access” to work over wired LAN connection. If I have WiFi enabled as well, or WiFi is the only network interface enabled the “Wake for network access” works fine. However, my Mac Pro is not responding to when I am trying to reach it remotely if only the wired Lan connection is used.
Mac Pro 6-Core 3.33GHz 24GB RAM, latest updates, Snow Leopard, “Wake for network access” enabled in Energy Saver settings.
It seams to me, that it was working some time ago.
Can anyone suggest me places to look to, settings to check, commands to run ..... to get it working?

Thank you Grant Bennet-Alder for responding. I will try to describe it as step-by-step as possible.
- I have back to my mac enabled with screen and file sharing on my Mac Pro
- By default I use wired NIC to connect my MP to network with manual configuration. (I have tried enable DHCP for that interface, however, the result was the same)
If I need to reach files on my Mac Pro (while I am away from it) from my Macbook Pro, I open finder on my MBP where I see my Mac Pro. I click on it if I need to access files or use "Share screen..." button if I want to access MP screen. I have the same result if I try to enter vnc://xxx or afp://xxx
my MBP tries to reach MP and brings the message after some time: Connection failed to "xxxxx" Please make sure the screen sharing is enabled....."
I have no problems remotely accessing my MP if:
     - it is not sleeping (i.e. I ask someone at home to touch its keyboard to wake it up)
     - I have AirPort turned on on my Mac Pro
I could not access my Mac Pro if:
     - it is sleeping and AirPort is off (the only wired NIC is used to connect to LAN)
It does not matter am I trying to get screen/file sharing on local network or via internet - the result is the same - if the only wired connection to network is used and MP sleeps - no access.

Encrypted data transmission over the network

Dear,
We used to install oracle with default settings. For security , we use TDE, but in tde the data is not encrypted while transmitted over the network. My question, here are lots of experience DBA , is the network level encryption are used whenever you guy work with PROD system?? Or just ensure only password level encryption??
Secondly, whenever we encrypt the network flow over the network ,is there any performance overhead??
Lastly, How can we configure the network level encryption??

I have not needed it, no, but that has nothing to do with whether *you* need it.
I did not say there would be a performance issue. I said there would be some level of performance overhead. If (as an example), the overhead was very very very small, it's not an issue. I always get a kick out of people asking "I really need this feature (security, encryption, auditing, whatever). Will it cause performance issues?" If you NEED the feature, then you NEED it - the performance overhead is part of playing the game - it's no longer overhead. It's like asking, I need an Oracle database, will it cause my computer to run slower?

Does the HP8600 support concurrent connections over both Wired Network and USB

I am having problems accessing the printer over the network could this be due to having a USB connection running with with a local PC.

Hi RoyJames,
What type of device are you trying to connect to the printer? It is possible to have the printer connected via USB for one device and connected via network for another.
Hope this helps.

How to set up TimeCapsule (4th) to create own private (wired) network behind Airport Express (5th) that is set up to join existing wifi-network of fritz adsl modem/router?

I work in an office building with free Wifi to connect to the Internet. I want to be able to use this internetconnection, but at the same time I want to shield of my own wired network.
I've made the following configuration:
- fritz adsl modem / router
- Airport Extreme (5th gen) set up to join existing wireless network (green light, works)
- Lan-cable from lan-port AE to wan-port TC (4th gen)
- Lan-cable from TC to Mac
- Lan-cable from TC to Printer
When I set my TC (network-settings) in bridge-mode everything works fine, but my Mac and Printer get an IP-address from the fritz modem / router and are visible to others.
I tried to set TC in NAT/DHCP-mode, but then I get the error message that I should set a static IP-adress for TC. When I set TC in DHCP-mode, it looses connection to the AE. I'm not sure what to do now. Does anyone know how to set up my TC and create my own private network and still be able to get on the internet?

Hajenius wrote:
Is there a better alternative? I'd rather not want to reset my TC every day.
You are using free internet.. so there is a price to pay.. that is convenience and non-ideal network setup.
The better alternative is to pay for your own connection. Then you are completely free of the possibility of others in the bullding seeing your connection. (as long as you secure the wireless).
But I think you are probably over worrying about public wifi.. if it is setup right.. ask the building admins.. it should be setup so each user cannot see another users connection. This is typical for most wifi setup and simply means you can see internet connection but nobody else on the connection. ie other wireless users.
Having a router with NAT makes it then more secure again and allows clients on your own network to interact with each other. But you can setup wireless to the free wifi for every client.. (depending on how many IP you are allowed).. and run a secondary network without internet access. This is easy for desktop etc where you have a wireless and a wired connection but less convenient for mobile devices.. unless you use a cloud connection and each client can link and share via that.
Have I made the explanation worse??
Think of it this way.. if you had 3 laptops.. all 3 could connect to the internet from the building wifi.. but they cannot talk to each other or share resources in local office. You can put resources out in the cloud, that can be shared.. but that adds traffic and most free services are not fast.
Now you can also plug all three into Time Capsule by ethernet.. and share local resources. Files, printers backup etc. This network is not connected to the internet at all. Each laptop has internet via free wifi and local connection.
For devices like iphones that have no ethernet or other method.. you could use local wireless and public wireless.. but in turns.. still the only advantage is less issues with double NAT.. if that causes problems.. then this is an alternative.

How do I properly setup an Extreme (802.11 n) + Express wired Network

Hello,
I have been trying to make my setup work properly for weeks now with little success. I have spoken to multiple IT professionals as well as apple care to get this working properly but to no avail. Here's my goal, I would like to have an airport network that reaches both my office upstairs and my wifes office downstairs. I would like to be able to share internet, files, and print throughout the network.
We have:
1 new Airport Extreme (802.11n)
2 new Airport Express
1 ATT micro Cell
2 Belkin 1000mbs AC power adapters
1 MacMini
1 iMac
1 Mac Book Pro
2 iPhones (1 3Gs, 1 4g)
The current and best working setup is as follows:
The cable modem in my office is connected to the Airport Extreme. I have the Belkin AC adapter connected in my office to one of the Airport Extreme's Ethernet connectors then directly to the closest wall outlet. Downstairs I have the other Belkin AC adapter connected directly to the closest wall outlet to our ATT Micro Cell. (Micro Cell must be near a window for GPS service). All the lights on the Belkin are blue which says that it is communicating at least over 100mbs.
The Belkin is connected to the Micro Cell via Ethernet and the Micro Cell works just fine. (unless ATTs server goes down and then it losses connection but thats another discussion).
I then have an Airport Express connected to the "Computer" Ethernet jack on the back of the Micro Cell. This is supposed to pass the network connection through the Micro Cell to a router. This downstairs Airport Express is setup in Bridge mode and should be working with the Extreme upstairs to provide DHCP. I have a separate WiFi network for the downstairs network. The two airports are also setup on different channels.
The other Airport Express is connected to my Slingbox and is only being used as an adapter. (it seems to work fine).
The problem:
Both networks broadcasts without a problem and I am able to connect all of my devices to either network. The problem occurs when I switch from one Airport to the other with my iPhone or with my Mac Book Pro. The device will connect to the network but when it connects back to the downstairs network it does not receive an IP address. I literally have to shutdown and restart the entire network to get it to assign another IP via DHCP.
I have been on the phone for hours with apple care and some IT professionals but with little success. The apple care people told me to "extend the network" but when I do that the Airport Express never works and the network is completely lost. I think this is because I am trying to use a wired connection and not a wireless one (I thought of using a crossover cable but havent tried that yet). I have swithced to every channel I can think of. I have tried running the express to assign a limited range of addresses but it gives me the error that I have two DHCP servers on the network and will not provide an internet connection. I have also reset everything about 20 times. I'm sure I have done other things to get this to work but I cant remember them all. Also I just recently updated everything to the latest firmware but that has only made it so I cant print over the network (bummer for another discussion).
Any suggestions? Sorry for the long description.
THANKS!

Can you clarify if you can set up a "roaming" network with all Apple AirPorts using the same wireless network name, security and password? Then devices will be able to "roam" from one area to another without having to change networks. The computer or iPhone will pick up the wireless signal from the strongest wireless access point, which will usually be the device that is closest at the time.
Rather than trying to use the AT&T device as a "pass through", which I suspect is causing some issues, you need to install a simple 5 port ethernet switch at the end of the ethernet cable from the AirPort Extreme, then run a short ethernet cable from the switch to the AT&T device and another short ethernet cable to the AirPort Express.
Post back if you need more details. I have an AirPort Extreme connected to two other Airports by ethernet in a "roaming" network and it has performed flawlessly for years.
