Problem setting up shared connection.

I have recently purchased the Linksys WRT54GS Broadband Router with USB Adapter. The Router is connected via Ethernet to our Cable Modem and the family computer. I have connected my laptop via a Wireless Lan PCMCIA card with no problem. However, I have used the USB Adapter on my sons computer and have had problems every day.
His Wireless Network Connection screen is different to mine. Sometimes it shows that he is not connected to our wireless network, yet is able to use the internet. Other times it says he is connected, but he is unable to get online. If he choses to disconnect himself from the Wireless network, then he is unable to connect again unless the settings are tweaked with.
When I first set-up, I did not secure the connection as I wanted to see if it would work ok, however I have now utilised a secure connection using WEP. We have an assigned key, which is 10 digits in length, but when we go to re-enter they key there is only spaces for 8.
All the settings match those on my laptop, but this problem keeps ocurring. I cannot keep coming and setting up his connection every day. Is there something I am doing wrong? Or any settings that I have set incorrectly.

Since you have changed things around and you are having a problem with just the USB adapter, I'd do this:
1 - With the USB adapter plugged in, in the start menu, right click "my computer" and select Manage
2 - double click Device Manager
3 - Expand "Network Adapters" and right click the USB adapter and UNINSTALL it
4 - remove the USB Adapter
5 - reboot the PC
6 - after all is up again, follow the installation instrctions for the USB adapter
Basically you are starting *almost* from scratch (windows keeps some stuff around), hopefully this will work.

Problems setting up Sharing

I've recently set up a new Mac Mini at work to share its internet connection from Built-in Ethernet (DSL modem) to computers using Airport. This was done in the Sharing control panel in System Prefs, and everything works fine.
I'd like to do the same at home using my 24in iMac. When I open the Sharing prefs pane and click on Internet – Airport is not appearing in the list below where it says "To computers using:". On the Mini that I set up the list contains "Built-in Ethernet", "Airport" and "Firewire", but on my iMac at home the list only shows "Built-in Ethernet".
It would be much appreciated if anyone has any suggestions as to why this is.
Thanks in advance.

Go to the Network preference pane.
From the "Show:" drop down menu, select "Network Port Configurations".
Ensure that AirPort is enabled.

Problem setting up shared printer between PC and Mac with 10.6

I am trying to setup a shared printer between my Mac and PC. I have a HP K80 attached to my PC (which has Vista Home Premium). I have a Macbook pro with 10.6. I have shared the printer on the PC side. From the Mac I have added the printer via Windows Printer sharing, but for some reason I cannot print to the printer. Everytime I try to print, the job just pauses. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks I installed the gutenprint drivers and tried this, and now all working:

Printing to a Shared PC Printer
This article describes how to print from Mac OS X to a shared printer connected to a Windows XP machine. It assumes the computers are already networked and that you can access the PC's files. These instructions are relevant for Mac OS X 10.2 upwards. The instructions may work with Vista. I don't have the means to try it.
1. Find the IP address of your PC - go on Start > Run. Type in cmd and click run. Now type in ipconfig /all and hit enter. This should give you the machine's IP address.
2. Share the printer. Open up Printers and find the one you want to share. Right-click and choose Share. Now click the 'Share this printer' radio button. Now choose a sharing name. Keep it simple - e.g. HP, Office, PC etc.
3. Open a web browser on your Mac and type localhost:631 in the address bar
4. You should now have the Common UNIX Printing System web interface up. Click the 'Add Printer' link.
5. Type a name for the printer, making sure you don't include /, # or space characters. Click continue.
6. Select Windows Printer via SAMBA from the Device list and click continue.
7. For the URI, you need to include a username and password for an account on your PC. You then need to enter a URI in the following format: smb://username:password@ipaddress/printer. So for example smb://johndoe:[email protected]/HP
8. Choose your printer's make, or if you have a PPD file for the printer, choose that. Click continue and choose your printer's model. Now click Add Printer.
9. Done! You now have a list of options for changing the various properties of the printer.
You don't need to be on the same workgroup or domain as your PC, just the same subnet. If both your Mac and PC are connected to the same router, either wired or wirelessly, then you should be on the same subnet.
Thanks guys

JDeveloper problem setting up a database connection

I am having some problem setting up a connection to my database. Before I say any more let me explain what I need. I need 2 database connections 1 to a 10g R3 database and one to an 8.0.5.
I do realize that JDeveloper will only connect back to 8.1.7 because of the JDBC version that is installed with it.
What I really need to know is "Is it possible to define and use 2 different versions of JDBC" I really don't want to move back to the version that works with both because I am afraid of what performance/benefits I will lose from the latest and greatest.
The latest version that I can determine will work with 8.0.5 is the last version for 9i.
Any Ideas would be helpful.
The reason for this situation is that I have a production database that I will have to keep up with until the full version of the system is complete so that is why I even care about 8.0.5.
Thanks alot for your time,
Thom

I have a similar problem and I would much appreciate any help in this matter.
I have a wireless network set at home with two computers connected to it:
My workstation called Home-ws and my laptop called Acer. I can access the d:\ drive of my workstation from my laptop without any problem.
On my workstation I installed the Oracle 10g product and on my laptop I installed Oracle SQL Developer. On SQL developer I am trying to create a connection to the Oracle server:
My settings are as below:
Connection name: orcl_system
User name: system
Password: ******
Host name: Home-ws
Port: 1521
SID: orcl
When I push test I am getting the following error message:
Status: Failure –Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
Are there any special settings that should be made set up a wireless connection to my database?
Then I did the following things below:
1. I downloaded from oracle.com the instantclient-basic-win32-10.2.0.2-20060508.zip file and unzipped it in a folder called instantclient_10_2. There were a number of DLL and two jar files plus sqlplus.exe
2. I started sqlplus from that server
3. sqlplus failed with a similar error as sql developer.
4. I checked for tnsping. There is no tnsping such and exe on my laptop. I looks like I have to install the DLLs I downloaded them but there are no instructions about how to install them. Should I just copy them in system32 folder?
5. I looked for firewalls on my Home-ws workstation (where my oracle server is installed) and on my Acer laptop. The firewalls were activated. I added on exception called oracle for port 1521 on both computers and tried to connect again. I tried with both TCP and UDP options and it did not work in both cases.
I am out of ideas. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Problems setting up my TC. Have just bought new iMac(OS 10.6.8) and TC. I tried to set it up. iMac cannot find it. I have tried direct connection with an ethernet cable to Mac or direct to my wireless router but nothing. Just a flashing orange light. Help for a simpleton please. Have tried reseting TC, but to no avail.

Just updated from 10.6.7 ---> 10.6.8 and had the same issue. Despite having done a clean install from 10.6 and got everything back off my TC, now Time Machine can't find it!
Green light is on, ethernet cable conected, network CP says its conected but nothing. Airport Utility can't find it. Hit reset button, Orange flashing light but still no show in Airport Utility.
But I know its there, as rebooting from 10.6 SL disk shows the backups are still ok?
Hmm, ideas anyone?

Problems establishing a Shared Server connection

I am trying to establish a connection to a shared server on a test database. The database is 10.2.0.4 and runs on Solaris 10. Here are some setting for my init file, and I think the last two do not need to be set.
# Shared Server
dispatchers="(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=DBA10XDB)"
shared_servers=5
shared_server_sessions=20
I connect from my client which uses a tnsnames.ora file and does NOT specify a dedicated server. Here is the result of LSNRCTL SERVICES:

The command completed successfully
V$SESSION shows the connections to be DEDICATED. Any suggestions as to what I may be doing incorrectly? Reading all I can find on this seems to indicate all I need to do is have DISPATCHERS and SHARED_SERVERS set and then connections will automatically be shared server connections.

Thanks. Your post helped me get things straightened out. After changing my tnsnames file I was getting an ORA-12520. Hmmm. I then noticed the (SERVICE=DBA10XDB) on my DISPATCHERS parameter, which was there by default when Oracle configured the init file initially. I removed that and it worked.
Then I was able to get connections to the shared server with and without the SERVER=SHARED setting. I knew I had read that Oracle will default to shared server if not specified, but your post indicated that a client connection can be forced to use the shared server, even when no dispatchers are registered. I think mine was not registered to my instance due to the (SERVICE=DBA10XDB) setting. If there are no registered dispatchers the connection request is rejected.

Please help me

Arthur suggestion works but you shouldnt even be doing this on a SQL Task.
Use a data flow task. You'll have better control over the data that is being transfered and get better performance because no staging table will be used.
Just because there are clouds in the sky it doesn't mean it isn't blue. But someone will come and argue that in addition to clouds, birds, airplanes, pollution, sunsets, daltonism and nuclear bombs, all adding different colours to the sky, this
is an undocumented behavior and should not be relied upon.

Problem using File sharing in a small office network

I have a problem using File sharing on an Imac and Macbook Pro.
My office has a small network running Windows Small office file server 2003. I have one Windows 2000 PC connected to it and 3 Macs, an 2.4 gHz Intel iMac running Leopard 10.5.6 , a MBP running the same and a Mac Mini running 10.5.
From the Finder Shared window of the Mac Mini, I can see all the computers on the network. It also used to be the case for the iMac, but the MBP could never see the Windows PC’s, not the server or the Win2000. This wasn’t a big problem as I was communicating between the Macs and using the shared printer on the iMac.
On Monday Jan 19 the iMac was suddenly unavailable to the other 2 Macs. It was working normally on the Friday. The iMac can access the Mac Mini and copy files to it. The Mac Mini can see the iMac but cannot access it. Even trying to connect as, ends in a failed connection. I have tried rebooting, turning File sharing off and then on again to no avail.
The iMac now also cannot see the Windows PC’s which it previously could.
To get files from the MBP for printing, I now copy it to the Mac Mini and acces the folder from the iMac, a very tedious procedure. I don’t know why this happened and am scared that the Mac Mini is going to do the same thing.
All three computers are also running VMware 2.0 with Windows XP pro, and from VMware the server is visible on all the computers.
Any help will be much appreciated, I live in a small town in South Africa and the local computer suppliers have no knowledge of the Macs.
I think that the problem with the iMac may have started after a software upgrade to 10.5.6 but I am not entirely sure.
Thank you

Well, you're current method sounds pretty good. But if you want to user a file server, hey go ahead.
What you want to do when you centralize project files is to keep track of which one is the newest and becareful not to overwrite files with the same name. So you either have to set up individual spaces on the server (separate AFP/FTP folders maybe), or you'll need to run a file checkout service.
The individual space is cheaper, but it's not much of a difference from backing up to the network drive. Since you have Gigabit connections, you might even opt to save ALL the user files on the server instead of just the project files.
If you want to run a file checkout service, there's two approaches. You can run a service that can host any kind of file, or you can run a version control system for each kind of application (Photoshop, Word, etc.). Please notice, that as you read further and further along, the methods become more and more expensive and complicated. Once you get to this point, it will be necessary to purchase or build software in addition to the Mac OS X Server package.

Problems Setting up my wireless network with an Xb...

Hi, I have had some problems setting up my wireless networking.
I have everything switched on and am able to go online with the laptop and the Xbox with no problems but when I try to share media with the xbox I have problems.
I have opened the ports specified in the setup from xbox on windows firewall and have no problem connection Via Ethernet cable but when using wireless the xbox cannot detect the laptop.
I have checked the network map and both xbox and laptop are connected and have enabled sharing and am running sharing software.
Below is the network map.
I have also been having problems with BT software, the free virus protection will not install, The desktop help will not launch although it shows up on task manager and the installation disk does not launch correctly it doesn't get past the loading screen.
I have had a printer on the wireless network and had no problems printing.
If anyone knows how to resolve this please help.

I have this same Motorola modem and I just verified that my 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can get Internet access with this modem without any issues.
When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
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.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), 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.

Ro,
Thanks for the respone, have been playin, with MPLS for last few hours.
The routing between the loopbacks is now working, can PING 7609 Loopback from AS5350 ,and vice versa. (used static routes).
Having problem with TDP / LDP on routers,
mpls label protocol ldp / tdp command works correctly on both routers, but the
tag-switching tdp router-id Loopback0 force
command works on the 7609, but when I add it onto the AS5350 , the command "mpls ldp router-id Loopback0 force" appears on the startup script.
The opposite is true for the 7609 , you add MPLS LDP command, and TAG-SWITCHING command appears instead.
Any Ideas, as different configs of this leave me with forwarding table with both tags added, but not been able to ping the loopbacks !!!
When I can ping bot loopbacks, the OUTGOING TAG , disapears.....
Problem is LOOPBACK Commands on bot routers default to LDP (AS5350) , or TDP (7609). Any Ideas ...

Problems setting up Time Machine using a network drive

I am having problems setting up TimeMachine on my Mac Mini to work with a WD MyBookLive network drive. The network drive came with a TimeMachineBackup shared folder preconfigured. When I first connected the drive to the router and turned on TimeMachine, the TimeMachineBackups appeared as an option when I did "Select Backup Disk" from TimeMachine Preferences.
I managed to successfully connect to the drive and start a backup running. However the backup hit a problem and I started getting an error that the "disk was already in use". I therefore tried to remove the disk to try and start again. Hoever when I now do go into "Select Backup Disk" from TimeMachine Preferences the shared folder on the drive no longer apperas and I only get the option to serach for an Time Capsule.
If I go into Finder, the MyBookLive shows up as a connected Device with all its shared folders showing (including the TimeMachineBackup folder) and my Mac is definitely connected to the drive. How do I get the Drive & TimeCapsuleBackup shared folder to reappear in TimeMachine Preferences so that I can select it as the destination for my backups?

Check around the forum, you are one of very very many. It doesn't matter what WD say, do you see a Certified by Apple notice on it?
Go here, most authoritative site about Time Machine you can find. http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html

Problems with file sharing

I'm having a lot of problems setting up OS X 10.5 server. Help with any/all of these issues would be much appreciated.
1. Sometimes, the server "forgets" that my administrator account exists. That is, I log off/restart/shut down normally, and then I can't log back in with my administrator account. I use the installation DVD to reset the password for the localadmin account (whose password no longer works), and when I log in as localadmin, my administrator account is gone & must be re-created. The home folder is still there and intact, so once I re-create the account, I can log in from it and my desktop & dock etc are just like they should be. But it's inconvenient to have to keep doing this; it's happened twice in less than a week. Any suggestions?
2. I'm trying to set up a "Group File Sharing Folder" as described in the manual. It says "make sure file sharing service is on and access to the Groups shared folder is turned on". I have turned file sharing service on, but I can't figure out how to turn on access to the Groups shared folder. (I tried going to the "File Sharing" section of "Server Preferences" and clicking the plus and selecting the Groups folder, but when I do so the "Open" option greys out, so it cannot be shared. I don't know what else to try.)
3. Also, when I try to connect to the server from a client computer, the only share that I see available is one called "Empty". But I haven't set up a share called "Empty", and as far as Spotlight will tell me I don't even have a folder called "Empty" on my computer. So how do I get rid of this "Empty"? (If I add a share, it shows up in addition to "Empty".)
4. Finally, is there any documentation about file permissions? I'm coming from Server 10.3, and I'm very confused by files/folders apparently belonging to more than one group/user, and it doesn't seem possible to change which user/group a file/folder belongs to anymore (without going to the terminal). What's going on?

I would create another user in the local domain with a different username that you are certain isn't already used. Give the user administrative privileges. Then the next time that this happens, you can login with this alternate admin user, and determine what the problem is.
Without logging in and looking at the logs and LDAP records, you can only speculate what it might be. Are there two users with the same username, one in the local domain, and another in the shared (network) domain?

I am trying to set up Sharing amongst several computers on my home network. I have followed all the setup instructions but after completion Sharing does not appear in my iTunes window (on any of the computers I've set up). There is no explanation why.

I have been trying to set up Sharing between two computers on my network. I did this once and it worked. However, when I try to set this up now the Sharing feature does not appear on the left side of the iTunes window (on either computer). There is no explanation as to why not. Is this a configuration problem, a network problem or what? Can it be fixed? I have tried turning sharing off and back on on both computers but to no avail. What am I missing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hey innerev2003,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If, while searching through your past purchases, items are unavailable to download and show a "Purchased" button, they are still on your computer. It may be best to search your iTunes library by clicking Music, then use the search bar at the top right.
If you are completely sure the items are no longer in your library, try signing out of the iTunes Store, and then back in.

How to set up shared use of "Contacts" data w/ 2 individual user accounts?

How to set up shared use of application "Contacts" data for two individual user accounts?

Link the contacts in one user account to a online cloud based system like Google or apples iCloud and then link the second user to that same online account. This could cause some slight problems if both people maintain their own online account to either of those systems on a phone or pad.
