Performa 6320CD ethernet connection?

Okay, so I have a Performa 6320CD running System 7.5.3 (soon to be 8.1) and with a Sonic Systems Commslot I Ethernet card going directly to a cable modem hooked directly into a cable jack. It gives me an option to switch to Ethertalk, but gives me a generic "can't switch" error. It also isn't set up for TCP/IP, which I can fix with Open Transport, but I can't seem to find a download, on Apple's official website or otherwise that unstuffs and boots without error.
Any suggestions/help?

I have Airport Extreme as the base unit and an Express unit in a room separated by a brick wall to improve signal. Express shows a green light indicating signal but my iPad does not perform well. How can I improve other than hardwire ethernet connection?

Other suggestions, and more info about the nature of the problem, may be in this Apple tech note.

For example, you might find that the brick wall is not the only problem. There may be other devices pumping out enough wireless interference to be making things even worse.
I agree with Bob Timmons that Ethernet is best and most reliable. And that powerline (which I use) is easier and potentially faster than wireless...but only if your power lines do not have electrical devices plugged in which produce electrical noise on the line. Powerline will be slower than Gigabit Ethernet.
Ethernet cable is the only way to ensure that the signal goes directly there in a shielded way for a clear fast signal. Wireless and powerline are much slower because of all the other things the signal has to fight past to get to the other device.

Multiple ethernet connections on a WDS with AirPort Express?

Going through the AirPort Admin Utility and Airport Setup Assistant, and the various pdf manuals, the only way I can seem to create a WDS is for each device to be a wireless bridge.
Even setting it up initially as a WDS that connects using AirPort (default config from the setup assistant), then changing it to connect via Ethernet completely broke the bridging and caused much mayhem.
I'd prefer to set up the new Express device as a wired bridge, as I have a spare ethernet connection on the same subnet. I presume this would lessen the overhead needed by the WDS in general and would speed up the overall performance slightly.
Does anybody have any clue how to go about this, if it is possible? I bet it's something small and stupid I've overlooked.
Going back about ten pages in this forum didn't seem to cover this subject, so I apologize if I'm bringing up this subject AGAIN. Oh yeah, and all Airport Express devices involved are on firmware v6.3
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Disable the distribution of IP Address on the Express setup.
You don't mention if you are using Airport Express or Extreme for your Main Base. If so then here is the link.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107454
If you are using a 3rd party Router as your Main Base then you will need to check out one of these 2 links and remember not all 3rd party routers are capable of WDS setup.

How do I extend an existing wireless network with a 2nd time capsule? I want to tether them with a gigabit ethernet connection.

I am having trouble with extending a wireless network using 2 timecapsules (1 is 1 terrbyte hdd, the other has a 2TB HDD.) The first one is connected to the WAN (cable modem) and our LAN. I would like to connect the 2nd one to the ethernet LAN and have it 'rebroadcast' the 1st ones wireless n network in order to expand the overall range of the network. Your help is very much appreciated.

Suggest that you download and install the much more useful AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion.
I assume that Time Capsule 1 is operating correctly at this time.
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
Select Time Capsule 1 and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons and make a note of each of the setttings on this Wireless page.
Make sure that the Ethernet cable is connected to the WAN "O" port on Time Capsule 2.
Open up AirPort Utility and select Time Capsule 2 and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the icons and enter the exact same settings that you wrote down for Time Capsule 1
Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
Make sure that the settings look like this:
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update and allow 25-30 seconds for Time Capsule 2 to restart to a green light
Very important......perform a power cycle of the entire network as follows:
Power off every device in any order that you wish
Wait a minute
Power up the modem and let it run for minute by itself
Power up Time Capsule 1 the same way
Power up Time Capsule 2 the same way
Continue starting devices one at a time the same way until the entire network is back up

HT3728 My Time Capsule is working fine with ethernet connection, but it is no longer working with wifi, probably because of my wrong setting; is there a way to reset wifi setting without losing backuped data? Thanks you all

Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
Thank you again
I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
Here is the Apple info on reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

Multiple ethernet connections

Hey guys,
Is it possible to run 2 ethernet connections, potentially one for upstream and one for downstream using a standard ethernet port and a thunderbolt ethernet adapter?
Cheers
Jacob

I am not sure exactly what you mean by upstream,/downstream but yes it is possible to use two or more Ethernet interfaces on a Mac. Apart from the built-in Ethernet port, the second could be as you stated the Apple Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter, or a USB to Ethernet adapter.
Possible usage scenarios include using one for the LAN and one for WAN connections, or bonding them together to make a 2Gbps combined link using 802.3ad aka. LACP trunk connection, or using one for the Mac, and the other for a virtual machine running on the Mac. Another common use would be to use one interface for the LAN to talk to computers, and the other for talking to a SAN via iSCSI, by keeping the iSCSI traffic on a separate interface you ensure it has dedicated bandwidth improving performance.

Cisco 3750x no ethernet connection

Hi,
I seems to have a weird problem whereby clients are unable to get an ethernet connection (Port no LED lit/not connected) when using mac. Sometimes there is connection after multiple insert/disconnect using the same cable to the Mac client. This has also be tested with a direct connection between the client and switch (without going thru the backbone cabling). If I was to try using Windows client, there does not seems to have such issue.
Further observation; from the switch; if a shut and no shut was performed on the port connected to the client, it would cause the connection to be "UP". Not too sure if anyone may have seen similar issues of unable to get connection "UP"? The firmware on the switch is running 15.2(1)E2.
Any suggestion is appreciated.

You've got a 3750X? Good. This means you can test the cable run using TDR.

My Airport Extreme and iMac appear to have the same IP address as a result of installing a new ATT modem via direct ethernet connection. How can I reset the Airport IP without disturbing the iMac setting if the iMac can't reach the Airport?

My provider's (ATT) modem recently went bad and though I usually use an Airport Extreme connection to the modem I had to start up their new modem via a direct ethernet connection from my computer to the modem. In trying to restart my Airport to modem via ethernet connection I was told that my computer IP and Airport ID are the same and so now my computer will not connect to the Airport. How can I best get out of this situation?

Anytime you change networking hardware, it is always a good idea to perform a complete power recycle of your networking components.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

Adding an Ethernet Connected Oscilloscope to VISA I/O Through MAX

This is a repost of a previous Q with more info added:
I'm trying to connect a LeCroy WaveRunner 6051 (Oscilloscope) to the system through ethernet. However, I can see no ethernet port in the VISA I/O control (only my serial, parallel, and GPIB ports). So I was guessing that I needed to setup the ethernet port (using MAX) before I would be able to use it in LabVIEW.
I'm in the process of setting up a VISA TCPIP resource, but am having a bit of trouble with it. I guess the Oscilloscope is not VXI-11 compatible as no instruments are found when I try to setup a VXI-11 resource. Instead I'm trying to setup a Raw Socket. However I'm not sure of what the Port Number should be. Is this number pre-conf
igured to the instrument (do I need to look this number up somewhere), or do I just assign it and use it when I address the instrument? I know that the ethernet connection is working as I can transfer files from my computer to the oscilloscope and back through a shared folder.
I also noticed that I can add a remote system in MAX. This would require putting a VISA server on the Oscilloscope - I'm guessing that this is not what I should do to connect the oscilloscope.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Russ

I just spent half a day configuring my laptop to interface with a TDS5054B scope from Tektronics. Couple of things to note:
1. Be sure that the firewall is not ON. My work laptop has extensive firewall protection; my personal laptop does not. That was crucial in getting a connection.
2. Be sure that the scope has TekVISA installed and that this server is RUNNING. There is a separate CD that came with the scope, and I had to install it.
3. Turn on the National Instruments VISA server.
4. Create a new interface by right mouse clicking the Devices and Interfaces key in the Measurement and Automation Explorer. If the scope is plug into the ethernet port with a CROSSOVER cable, and its VISA server is running, M&A Explorer should be able to find the device. You may not need to worry about knowing what the exact ethernet address is--unless you are not connected to the same subnet. Just select the TCP/IP resource, and things should naturally fall into place.
After I performed these steps (hopefully I didn't leave anything out), the VISA access was enabled to the scope. I hope everyone finds this useful. There is a link to the Tektronics website that was very helpful. I would place it here, but not sure that Tektronics would appreciate that.

Never mind, problem solved. When I retunred to the Network tab the message had changed to "connected, no IP address" so I got that from the WiFi tab and configured the Ethernet manually. Have a nice day @:-)#

How do I use my iBook with a hotel's ethernet connection?

When a hotel just has an ethernet connection, I can never come up with the right configuration to access it. Does anyone have the procedure?

Plug in the ethernet.
(Turn on/log in your iBook)
Open browser
Go to a website.
It should now load.
If for some reason the obvious is not working, do this.
Open System preferences.
Click Network
Now at the top pull down the menu and select network status.
There should now be a line that says ethernet.
In that line it should say "connected, your IP address is x." If it does not say that it is connected, what does the error say?

We have an airport extreme wifi in house, but also want to set up a hardwired ethernet connection for gaming and streaming of netflix. The computer only sees one or the other not both at same time.

We have a new iMac 2.9ghz and are running an airport extreme set up in house with several express entenders. The problem is that our son is streaming netflix and doing on line gaming and hogging all the band width. Time Warner tech suggested a hard wired ethernet connection to computer base sattion next to computer so that it can have direct conenction to internet. After much fishing of wire the connection worked great, but the wifi connection for the house is gone. I unplugged the ethernet connection and everything is fine. I read the articles about adjusting network preferences, but the issue seems to be in the extreme not in the computer. the connection goes from cable modem to extreme, from extreme to house and to hard wired conenction to other computer. Do we need a splitter before the extreme?

No. Something else is going on.
Your son may be hogging all the bandwidth but your wireless network should never simply disappear. Moreover, if your son isn't doing anything the available bandwidth for other devices should remain unaffected.
I suspect that something is miswired, and from what you describe I suspect that link is between the Extreme and the "other computer".
The way to accomplish what you propose is
Modem > Ethernet cable to Extreme's WAN port
Extreme's LAN ports > wired Ethernet devices.
There should be nothing but an Ethernet cable linking an Extreme LAN port and any other wired device. If you run out of available LAN ports on the Extreme, you need to by an "Ethernet switch" - they are not expensive, but don't call it a "splitter" or you will only confuse yourself. The switch would be connected to one of the Extreme's LAN ports, and you would connect additional devices to it. You can also use one of your Expresses for that purpose, assuming it is the current generation model with two Ethernet ports.

How do I use my ethernet connection for printing on my LAN and use my Wifi on a different router and ISP to connect to the internet?

I'm in a small office, and I have to use my ethernet connection to connect to the networked copier to be able to print, but connection to which I hooked my Time Capsule is literally 20x faster when connecting to the internet.
How can I tell the computer to use the ethernet connection to print, while everything else should go through wifi?
I have been manually going back and forth changing the order in Network Preferences between ethernet and Wifi, but I'm know there must be an easier way. Thanks for your help!

A packet going to Apple is not local. It is going to 17.149.160.49 -- So it is sent to the topmost working connection to be Routed and sent to the Internet.
A packet going to a local computer or other device that is on the same subnet (has an IP address very close to the topmost IP Address of your computer) gets sent out that port as well, but is sent directly to that computer on the local subnet, since no Routing [changing of Addresses} is needed.
A packet going to a local computer or Printer or Network Attached Storage device that is not on the topmost subnet, but is on a secondary subnet such as the second network connection would be sent directly to that computer, since no Routing is needed.
I do not understand why two Routers have the same IP Address if they are not cross-connected. That makes everything very difficult when it should be simple.

How do I reduce the MTU on my Airport Extreme Ethernet connection?

Hi there,
Is it possible to reduce the MTU on the Ethernet connection inside the Airport Extreme Base station. I was having trouble accessing some websites, but was able to fix it on a direct ethernet connection by reducting the MTU setting to below 1500. However, when I connect wirelessly ( I have a DSL modem connected to the WAN port of an Airport Extreme Base station), I still have the same problem, but there seems to be nowhere in the Admin utility where I can reduce the MTU for the connection.
Anyone know a work around for this?
Thanks
Martin

Don't know if this will help, but if you use cocktail there is a place under "Network" where you can change the mtu setting for the machine you are using. I also remember seeing some info on this in the unix support group here in the forums.
