Performa To PC Via Ethernet Crossover

I am going to be attempting to connect them via ehternet crossover to transfer files form the Performa to the PC. I was wondering if there is any documentation for that. I just need a short tutorial on how it is done. Thanks.
-=SunnaH=-

As far as I know there is no "short tutorial" because connecting Performa to PC(which system on PC?) isn't that easy.
If your Performa(which?) runs up to system 7.6 you may look here for networking between Macs,including a link to threemacs.com:
http://www.atpm.com/8.06/networking.shtml
For connecting Mac/PC you may look at the gamba-site,find here:

Hope that helps a bit.
I connect PM 7600 and other with PC via a hub(cheap) using straight through-ethernet cables with DAVE from thursby.com

  • How do I connect my Apple TV (V1) to my Airport Extreme via ethernet/crossover? I'm having troubles.

    I've spent the last couple of couple of days trying to set this up, so....
    My modem is connected to the wall, and my airport extreme.
    The airport extreme (7.6.1) is connected via ethernet to my 20" iMac (10.7.3) and a USB printer.
    Before now, I have been using wi-fi for the Apple TV for internet and access to files on the iMac.
    I installed 2 ethernet cables, one regular AND an ethernet crossover cable through my walls. I've tried with both cables, but my Apple TV does not appear in iTunes, or in the Airport Utility.
    Using the Crossover cable, the LED is lights up on both ends (Apple TV and Airport), so this is probably the one to use.
    The firewall on my mac is disabled, and my Airport is in Bridge mode.
    The modem itself will picks up the Apple TV listed twice, but I am unsure if these are sumiltaneous (wifi and ethernet, I assume), as the license lasts for 24 hours, and it's been forced to swith between wired/wifi within that time.
    What could I be doing wrong?
    (PS iTunes is up to date, as is the apple TV)

    I have tried that but with the crossover cable I get the green light on the router Ethernet port.
    Using the standard Ethernet cable I do not get the light.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How do I connect Macbook Air to Macbook via ethernet crossover cable?

    Hi all,
    For the life of me, I'm having a lot of troubles connecting my Macbook Air to Macbook, here is what I've done so far:
    1. Turned on sharing in System preferences on both systems and given "read and write" access to "myself", "users" and "everyone".
    2. Then connected a ethernet cable to both macbook and macbook air (via original Apple USB ethernet)
    3. When I go to Finder > Shared on both systems, they say cannot open drop box insufficient privileges.
    Please someone link to step by step tutorial of Mac OS X 10.5 sharing through ethernet cable or correct me on what I'm doing wrong, and I don't have firewire cable otherwise things would've easier .
    Thanks in advance!

    You are probably over thinking the problem.
    Do not use a crossover cable. Just connect the two machines directly with a standard ethernet cable and they will auto assign ip addresses and be accessible to each other. The ethernet chips in both machines will detect the cable, etc and it "just works".
    Also your sharing settings do not need to be that open. I would recommend to pulling them back so that you are not giving the world access to your machine.

  • Attempting to transfer files via ethernet crossover cable and FTP

    So i just got my new laptop yesterday, i need to transfer my media (Movies, shows, and Music) To the new computer, i want to do this via CAT5 because it will take less time.
    What i tried to do is take the information provided on the WiKi HERE
    On the computer which has the media, i did:
    # ip link set up dev eth0
    # ip addr add 139.96.30.100/24 dev eth0 # arbitrary address
    Then on the new laptop i did:
    # ip link set up dev eth0
    # ip addr add 139.96.30.120/24 dev eth0 # arbitrary address
    This assigned the IP correctly and also connected the computers to the ethernet network via WICD, but when i attempted to log into Filezilla (With the internal IP address, the username, and password on the account of the new computer) It failed, said that it couldnt connect.
    I have httpd and sshd running on both laptops
    Anything i did wrong? I know the commands i used were from Internet Sharing but in theory those commands should still work for this.

    Does this mean you have confirmed basic connectivity (ie. ping)?
    Actually i did not do a ping, i was not thinking about it at the time (Had a few drinks)
    But WICD was connected to the interface, im about to hop in the shower and once i come back out i will set it up once more and this time i will send a ping.
    Also, im only using 2 computers and am too cheep to buy a switch, plus its not needed lol. But i do have 1GB ethernet ports on both computers, so it should be faster then WiFi (Which i have gotten the wifi to run successfully, just takes too long)

  • HT1515 I'm getting poor performance from my apple TV, will plugging in my airport express via ethernet to apple tv increase its performance (poor wi-fi signal)

    I'm getting poor performance from my apple TV, will plugging in my airport express via ethernet to apple tv increase its performance (poor wi-fi signal)

    Yes, though it is less ideal than what I suggested earlier. You would need to place your AirPort Express in a location approximately midway between your AirPort Extreme Base Station and the TV. Then, using AirPort Utility, configure it to "extend a wireless network".
    It may help. Bear in mind the signal thus "extended" by the Express can only be as good as the signal it can receive from the Extreme. That is the reason for selecting its appoximate midway location.
    Read about it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
    Scroll down to "Wirelessly Extended Network (802.11n)" for a picture.
    This solution requires an all-Apple wireless network. No third party stuff.
    You mentioned using Ethernet. That would be a better idea. Scroll down to "Roaming Network (Ethernet-connected Wi-Fi base stations)" for a picture. In your case, the longer the Ethernet cable - hence the closer you can move the Express to the TV - the better

  • I'd like to alter my Airport Extreme/Airport Express wireless network so that the 3 Expresses connect to the Extreme via Ethernet. I've been told this will create a more stable wifi signal. How do I configure this using Airport Utility? Thanks.

    I currently have an Airport Extreme Base Station connected to my DSL router by Ethernet. Because I have a long, sprawling home, I have 3 Airport Expresses configured to "Extend the Wireless Network" I've established. Because of my home environment--thick walls encompassaing wire mesh, sprawling rooms, etc., it is hard to maintain a continuously-strong, stable WiFi signal. I've been told that I can create a much more stable network by connecting the Express units to the AEBS via Ethernet cable. Since my home is already wired for Ethernet, I'm considering making this change. If I proceed to establish the Ethernet connections, how do I then set up Airport Utility to accomodate this switch from a Wireless-based WiFi network to an Ethernet-based WiFi network?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Phyllis

    I don't see anyplace in the Utility to designate HOW the Express units are connected, only how they relate on the network to the Extreme,
    As I mentioned in the previous post, when you click the Internet icon in AirPort Utility:
    Connect Using = Ethernet  (This tells each Express to connect to the Extreme using the ethernet connection)
    Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)  (This setting allows your AirPort Extreme to function as the "main" router on the network, as it must for the setup to work correctly.
    You do not need to configure anything differently on the AirPort Extreme (as long as it is working correctly now) to connect the AirPort Express devices.
    The only other question I have is the following: I'm currently already using one of the Ethernet ports on the back of the Extreme-- for my husband's iMac. I really don't think he gains much in performance over how the iMac would run through wifi, so I could disconnect the iMac. If you think the iMac would do better to stay on the Ethernet connection, should I use a switch/splitter to add an extra connection?
    Since each AirPort Express must connect using ethernet, you will need to use the 3 LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme for the AirPort Express devices.
    I would suggest that you try connecting the iMac using wireless to see if that will work. If the wireless connection is not satisfactory, then you can add a 5 port ethernet switch to one of the LAN ports on the Extreme and then plug all the devices connecting using ethernet....the iMac and the 3 AirPort Express devices...into the remaining 4 ports on the switch. That will leave you with 2 open ports on the AirPort Extreme for any future devices that may need to connect.
    When you test out the system, here is a trick to find out which device your computer is actually connecting to at any given time as it "roams" around the house.
    When you have AirPort Utility open to configure each AirPort Express, jot down the AirPort ID for each Express. You can do the same for the AirPort Extreme.
    As you move around with your laptop, hold down the option key on your Mac keyboard while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device that the laptop is connected to at that time. it should also be the ID of the closest AirPort Express (or AirPort Extreme if the laptop is close to the Extreme at the time).
    Let us know how things are working when everything is up and running.

  • HT4262 Is there any way to extend my Apple Extreme Base Station using an Apple Express by via ethernet or does it only work via wifi and being in range?

    From what I read, the only way to extend my Apple Wifi Network is via another Apple Airport Extreme or Express using overlapping wifi zones. If I try to connect my Apple Express to my Apple Extreme via Ethernet, then this is guaranteed to fail regardless of how I configure the Express. Is that correct?

    It is certainly possible and better....in terms of performance.....to connect the AiPort Express to your AirPort Extreme using Ethernet to extend the network that way.
    If you are having problems with this, then your setup is not correct....or....if your setup is correct, you may have a defective AirPort.
    We can walk you through the steps to get things set up correctly if we can get some basic information to provide the correct settings.
    What is the model number of the AirPort Extreme?
    What is the model number of the AirPort Express?
    if you are not sure, look on the bottom of the Extreme and side or bottom of the Expess. The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
    We also need to know what operating system you are using on your computer. If you have a Mac, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
    We will likely have more questions about your current setup to understand things a bit better, so please be patient.

  • Airport express won't extend network via ethernet but shows GREEN (HELP!!)

    I have the following routers setup up the same network and are working.
    10.0.1.1 Airport Extreme (connected to hardline from IP)
    10.0.1.2 Time Capsule 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to computer via ethernet)
    10.0.1.3 Time Capsule 2 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox1)
    10.0.1.4 Airport Express 1 (extending network and providing internet connection to Xbox2)
    Not working correctly
    10.0.1.43 Airport Express 2 (wanting to set this router up to extend network to plug into desktop)
    The router seems to join the network fine and will show GREEN but doesn't show a similar IP address as the rest of the routers. It also doesn't provide any internet connection via ethernet to any computer, the network pref page says that it shows RED and that nothing is connected to the computer for internet but airport shows GREEN.
    Reset the router multiple times, tried every which way of setting it up and no go. I also tried assigning it a IP and not using DHCP and gave it a 10.0.1.5 and still the same outcome.
    Right now just at complete loss as to what to try next.

    Sorry, the older version of the Express does not have the option to  "extend a wireless network", which is the setting on the new Express that provides more wireless coverage and also enables the Ethernet port.
    What you want to do can be done with a different setting..."participate in a WDS network" on both the Time Capsule and Express, but I am not recommending that you do this because WDS operates only in "g" wireless mode. Your Time Capsule would lose most of its performance in this setting and the network would slow down tremendously...defintely not what you want for gaming.
    You'll have the best performance if you connect the PS3 directly to one of the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule using an Ethernet cable. If it is not possible to run the cable, the next best performance option would be to use a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the Ethernet signal over the existing AC wiring in your home.

  • Connecting via ethernet questions

    so i am trying to connect my apple tv and macbook pro via a crossover ethernet cord to do a fast sync of a large amount of data. so i followed the instructions on the apple help docs and i literally connected to my apple tv to my laptop via the ethernet port. i have tried with the wifi turned on and off because the document did not specify and am having no luck.
    so after not having success with that, my question is, does my apple tv need to be plugged into an airport extreme instead of directly to the laptop as the document said? i only have an airport express and standard modem from my internet provider so i am super confused on how that would work for me.
    i can't figure out any other way to try this because if i plug my modem directly into my laptop then the one ethernet port is being used at that point and i will have no where to plug the crossover cable into.
    does anyone have any suggestions for me? i feel like i am missing to super obvious here...
    thanks so much,
    kristi

    configuring the ip address manually finally made it work, thank you so much dr. unc. i am watching the data fly by compared to the 1 movie an hour speeds over my super slow wifi. just to clarify for others with this problem, here are the steps i took to make it work:
    -connected the apple tv directly to my macbook pro via a crossover ethernet cord (a regular cord may work also, i have not gone back and tested that with the manual ip address).
    -kept my wifi on and plugged in the apple tv.
    -opened itunes.
    -when it started syncing i turned my wifi signal off to test and now can sync over the ethernet with my wifi turned on or off. i think you have to start the sync with the wifi turned on though so that it can authorize the apple tv, but i may be wrong on that).
    -watching 1TB of content sync super fast to my apple tv with a cold beer in hand. (i have not tested this method with a warm beer, it might not work.)
    thanks for all the help everybody. and if you are wondering how i am syncing 1tb to my 160 gig apple tv check out aTV flash...

  • Transferring itunes to new itunes via ethernet cable

    I want to transfer the music from my old itunes to the itunes on my new computer. As my old computer is pretty much knackered, the easiest way for me to do this i figure is via ethernet cable. can this be done, and if so, how do i go about doing it?

    Sure, get a crossover ethernet cable.
    Windows has built-in utilities to get this done. You didn't say which OS you are using, but here is an example for XP

  • Help connecting via ethernet

    Pls could someone help me configure my AEBS to connect to the router via ethernet as I'm getting poor performance using wifi and would like to try something different.
    Thanks v much in advance!
    Matt  : )

    Sorted!  Used my old laptop running the older version of the AirPort Utility.  Couldn't have been easier - chose to turn off wifi and connect using an ethernet cable (airplay still works via wifi of course). 
    The new software seems to have removed this feature???
    Question is, will it improve my experience using AirPlay?  Will I get less drop outs?

  • Macbook pro to DSL-Modem via Ethernet

    I need help getting on Interneet using Ethernet cable to the Speedstream-4200 DSL modem.
    Usually I use the Airport-Extreme which then goes ethernet to the Speedstream DSL Modem.
    However, I was trying to trace some major DSL slowdowns and want to try connecting directly to the DSL modem ... I tried various 'assistants', tried u things but never get the Macbook Pro to see the modem ... usually I can type the address of the modem in the url window and connect to it also ... and I can't via ethernet.
    I have set the PPPoe data the same as I see it in the Airport setup
    username and password ... what else?

    Since you have switched the device connected to the DSL modem, you need to perform a power recycle so that the modem "forgets" the old one...and don't forget to do the same when reconnecting the modem to the AEBS.
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    - Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
    - Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
    - Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    - Power-on the computer(s)

  • Can't connect to share files via ethernet

    I think I followed all the instructions, but I'm not able to connect two G4s running OS X (one is Panther, the other Tiger, if that makes any difference)
    I need file sharing for my work, as transferring via an external drive takes too long.
    I go to the Go menu and click on Connect to Server and then enter the Computer Name in the field. I then get a box prompting me to enter my password. Every time I try, it says invalid or log in failed. I know the passwords, and I can view it in the keychain access in Utilites. I'm administrator for both computers.
    I am afraid of messing around with settings beyond allowing AppleTalk and permitting File Sharing in System Preferences. One of the computers has Airport, the other hasn't (it makes no difference if turned on or off) The pane listing the either computer's name is the one I select - but there's also some sort of afp// listing on one, and something saying other computers on your local subnet(?) can reach your computer at afp - keith (etc). I also seem to see options for more configuration, such as numeric addresses. Server Name? IP address? -It's Greek to me. I'm confused!
    Please, Please Please ! I REALLY NEED THE SIMPLEST POSSIBLE EXPLANATION. I've reached the limits of my capability to figure it out via either the Mac Help, or Support on the Apple website k base articles. I remember this working once - not with these two computers, but it did work - so I imagine something needs resetting or....???
    Many, many thanks for help.
    wish I could award you 2 or three stars - or a constellation, for gods sake

    Great news Keith, thanks!
    Yes, you came up with the right solution, but how on earth??
    It might not seem intuitive at first glance, but what you're trying to do is gain access on the other Mac... Who has access to the other Mac? The other Mac's user!
    Also, it wouldn't do to have it so just anybody that doesn't have an account be able to access the files on it.
    Isn't it an assumption that you would use the password for the one you were on, rather than the one you are trying to access?
    If the other Mac A had an account on it for both Mac A's user & Mac B's user, then both/either could log in, or you could log in as a Guest, but then only have limited access to the Shared folder.
    I also thought the problem might have been needing an Ethernet crossover cable as opposed to an Ethernet cable used for a DSL connection - apparently there's a difference, and some earlier Macs don't support the latter.
    Only one Mac needs to be new enough to not require a Crossover cable, it'll automatically switch a regular Cable to as though it were Crossover.

  • Time Capsule Base via ethernet to an Airport Extreme to extend Wireless

    I have set up a new Time Capsule dual band (TCBStn) as a base station (connected to the internet). I want to connect a new Airport Extreme dual band in a family room far away from the base via Ethernet. This family room has an Apple TV to which I want to stream video. I am not able to connect the AE via the Airport Utility as the Airport Utility does nor recognize the AE.

    My recommendation is to configure your two base station as a "roaming" network. This will allow wired/wireless clients to connect to either and still be able to "see" each other for sharing.
    Please start by powering-down all of your network components as follows:
    o Power-down the modem, Time Capsule (TC), AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), Apple TV (ATV), and the iMac. Note: The power-down order is not critical.
    o With all of these components powered down, disconnect both the TC & AEBSn from the network, and then, perform a "factory default" reset on both to get them back to their "out-of-the-box" configuration.
    o After both have been reset, remove them from power, and then, reconnect them as follows: modem > \[WAN port] > TC > \[LAN port] > \[WAN port] AEBSn, where ">" represents an Ethernet connection.
    o Power-on the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
    o Power-on the TC; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
    o Power-on the iMac.
    o For now, leave the ATV powered-off.
    In this configuration, both routers will be transmitting their own wireless network, each having a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN, where the Ns represent the last six digits of their respective AirPort IDs.
    Now, from the iMac, use the AirPort Utility (in Manual Setup) to access the TC to make the following configuration changes:
    o Time Capsule > Base Station > Time Capsule Name = TC
    o Time Capsule > Wireless > Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    o Time Capsule > Wireless > Wireless Network Name = <enter the desired Network Name>
    o Time Capsule > Wireless > Radio Channel Selection = Automatic
    o Internet > Internet Connection > Connect Sharing = Share a public IP address
    o Leave all the other default settings (for now).
    o Click on Update to write the new configuration to the TC.
    While still in the AirPort Utility, select the AEBSn, and then, make the following changes:
    o AirPort > Base Station > AirPort Extreme Name = AEBSn
    o AirPort > Wireless > Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    o AirPort > Wireless > Wireless Network Name = <use the same Network Name that you created for the TC>
    o AirPort > Wireless > Radio Channel Selection = Automatic
    o Internet > Internet Connection > Connect Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    o Leave all the other default settings (for now).
    o Click on Update to write the new configuration to the AEBSn.
    You should now have a basic roaming network. Verify that your iMac can access the Internet while connected to either base station by wire or wireless. Please post back your results.

  • Use Time Capsule as a Hard Drive via Ethernet for Time Machine

    Hi Folks
    To summarise a very very long story here goes;
    - About 12 months ago my father in law buys a Time Capsule without really knowing what it is for and how it works (I know don't ask!!!!!)
    - I set it up for him connected to his wireless router so he uses his router to access the internet and uses the Time Capsule to back up his iMac via wireless with Time Machine. (from what I can see he could have saved himself some cash and just bought an external Hard Drive and connect it via USB to the iMac for Time Machine, but never mind. He has 1 iMac and no other Mac's in the household. His printer is connected to his iMac via USB in the same room and he uses a wireless router to access the internet, since the phone point is in another room)
    - All is well until Monday when he tells me he cannot access the internet. After much much trial and error I have eventually managed to get his internet back up and running, but he has somehow managed to erase his Time Capsule.
    - I set his Time Capsule back up as it was previously and it starts performing the initial backup again. However at the rate its taking I think it will take well in excess of 24hrs to do that initial
    backup. Also so far It has failed 3 times during this initial backup and I get an error message stating it's failed. The setup guide makes reference to performing the initial backup via ethernet as it's quicker.
    I'm thinking the best way forward would be to just plug the Time Capsule into the iMac via ethernet and use it purely as a Hard Drive for use with Time Machine. I've tried just plugging in the ethernet cable from the Time Capsule to the iMac, but it doesn't recognise it. Bear in mind that it currently works via wireless, do I need to perform some sort of factory reset or how do I go about telling the the iMac to no longer use the Time Capsule wireless, but just connect via ethernet instead.
    Of course I could just forget about the Time Capsule all together and tell him to get a 500gb USB External Hard Drive, plug that in and set up Time Machine with that instead.
    Am I missing the point here and can the Time Capsule do a lot more for him, given his current setup.
    Thanks

    That is true but if you mix your files with the Time Machine backups, Time Machine will have trouble contril disk space when it gets low.
    If you are going to do that it is recommended that you partition the drive. Since Time Capsule is not able to partition the drive that means you will have to remove it in order to partition it.
    A simple solution IMO is to get another external drive and hang it on the USB bus in the Time Capasule.
