Problems sharing internet- jaguar, leopard, wireless and ethernet

Hi
I have a MacBook with Leopard and an old iMac with Jag 10.2 on it my partner uses. We've just moved our house around and the router & airport station is now miles from the imac. The two macs are set up in the same room so I hooked up the imac and macbook with an ethernet cable with the idea that the imac could share the wireless connection via the macbook. I set up sharing on the Macbook to share the airport connection via ethernet but the connections isn't working. Any ideas anyone?

gave up and reconnected direct to modem

  • Wireless and ethernet simultaneously?

    hello,
    my current network goes like this..........
    cable modem to airport express.
    airport express to the g5, powerbook, printer, airtunes.
    everything works.
    i just bought a sgi fuel that i would like to have a connection to.
    so i bought a smc switcher (8505t)....
    now the cable modem goes into the switcher.
    g5 into the switcher.
    airport express into the switcher.
    sgi into the switcher.
    in the network prefs, i then have to change from airport to ethernet. so i reset the modem (at comcast's direction) and choose ethernet. now the mac and sgi can talk. internet works, but not for the powerbook.
    i guess my question is can airport express do both wireless and ethernet at the same time? or do i need something else?
    thanks

    The ISP provides one IP address. Whichever device connected to the switch gets that IP address first will be allowed to connect to the internet. None of the other devices connected to the switch will be allowed to connect to the internet.
    You need a router to use the single IP address provided by the IP address and then create multiple local IP addresses. The AX is a router but the single Ethernet port prevents it from sharing any local IP addresses with Ethernet clients. If the AX did allow that (as the original 802.11b graphite AirPort base station did) it would conflict with the ISP's DHCP server and draw the ire of the ISP.

  • Wireless and Ethernet connection for U330 not working - Help

    I need help with my wireless and ethernet connection for the U330 notebook. I can not connect to the internet since I received my U330 and if I try to connect to a wireless router, it knocks other users off. I called customer service already and they asked me to download the driver on the Lenovo Downloads and Drivers page. The page can not be found when you try to download the drive so I was not sure if there is another place I can download it since customer service mentioned that they will send me a disk which will take some time. Thanks in advance.

    Your router may be knocking you due to lots of facts. Those Ensteins suggested drivers reinstall because that's the only thing they know.
    Try changing your encryption mode, try adding your laptop's WiFi MAC-adress of whitelist of Route, try disabling firewall, try increase strength of signal.
    Driver is located at consumersupport.lenovo.com - do not hesitate to check.

  • Problems connecting a Officejet 7310 wirelessly and via ethernet cable

    My printer (a Officejet 7310) is connected to two PC's via a router and ethernet cable. I now wish to install a laptop as well.
    I know the lap top is communicating with the router wirelessly, but I cannot get the laptop to recognise that there is a printer installed.
    I have tried connecting the printer directly (via an Ethernet cable) to the laptop and this works fine. I have downloaded the latest software for the 7310 and utilised both options (wireless and cable).
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    This question was solved.

    OK, great, I have a much better understanding now.  Thanks.
    Do you have an antivirus program?  Does it have a firewall?  If so, disable it to test.
    Print a network test from the front of the printer to obtain its IP address.  Type that IP address into a browser to see if you can contact the printer.

  • Problems sharing internet connection over airport

    Hi everyone-
    I've researched the heck out of the forums and still cant figure out what's happening with my system. I've got a MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.2. In previous OS versions (10.4) when I was successfully sharing my ethernet internet connection, the airport icon in the status bar showed a vertical "up" arrow, indicating that my connection was being shared.
    I'm trying to do the same thing in OS 10.5.2 but not succeeding in getting the same notification. I'm finding that when I access the "Sharing" folder under "System Preferences" and select "Share your internet connection from: ethernet" and "To computers using: Airport" that both settings grey out, the "Internet Sharing" button turns green and the status says "On", but no sharing occurs. I've checked using other wireless laptops and a wifi finder, but no signal from my MacBook is ever found.
    I've deleted my preferences folder to start fresh, no help. I've tried sharing from different ethernet sources, no help. It just feels like the problem is in the OS somewhere, not with the internet connection.
    Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    seems like i got the same issue as u and i just posted it:

  • Wireless and Ethernet Network Do Not Work Other Than SpeedTest

    I have been having major problems with my Mac's Internet.  Whenever I connect to my Wireless or Ethernet Connection, the signal start out strong and dies down to almost nothing (around .4 kbps) immediatly.  I have been having this problem for a couple of weeks now.  However, when I run SpeedTest.net, I get the connection speeds which I should be getting.  My Network Application thingy (iStat Menus) shows a major increase from .4kbps to 6MBps when the speedtest in running.  Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

    It's a router all right. The next question is what is the "downstairs" device? Router or...?
    The Aliant is configured through a browser interface and its IP address ought to be 192.168.2.1. Put those numbers in Safari's URL field and see if its webpage loads. If it does, you might be able to find a setting called "bridge mode".
    Beware that I'm way out in the weeds with this suggestion - changing things in that unit may cause you even more problems. Since you said it is connected to a "wall Ethernet plug" I'm concluding that it should not be acting as a router, but that depends on what is upstream of that wall plug, and what functions the downstairs device is performing.
    If the "wall Ethernet plug" is in fact a phone line and not an Ethernet LAN port then it is your router and you won't want to change that.

  • Problems sharing internet connection - works only one way...

    hey all,
    i'm having a problem sharing my internet connection between our "new" iBook G4 and "old" iMac G5. (both machines are running 10.4.10.) i've seen several posts here that seem related, but no answers that have worked in my case.
    here's the gist:
    ideally, i'd like share the internet connection from the iMac (from our cable modem) to the iBook over the airport. so, i've set up the iMac to do this under "sharing" in system preferences. i then set up the iBook to connect to this new wireless network. under "network status", it says the iBook is connected to the iMac's network, but that the iBook doesn't have its own IP address, so it can't connect to the internet.
    oddly, when i reverse the process - i.e. plug the modem into the iBook and share the connection over the airport to the iMac - it works fine. the iMac gets its own IP address and can see the internet.
    a friend suggests that somehow the iBook is set up to distribute IP addresses as a router, but the iMac isn't. fine. but, i don't know how to make changes to that function.
    any thoughts?

    well, it's taken all day - many, many attempts. but i've finally found something that worked. the answer was burried in the middle of this guy's blog page:
    http://www.tuaw.com/2007/03/26/how-to-using-your-mac-as-a-nat-router/
    he says:
    "I've turned off DHCP and set the address to: 192.168.0.1 and the subnet to 255.255.255.192 In making these choices I was following a hint that appeared at macOSXhints back in 2002. Once this is done I went back to the Internet tab of Sharing Preference Pane, select en4 and start it.
    "Now on my other device (in this case a Xbox 360) I set it up as follows:
    "IP address: 192.168.0.2 subnet: 255.255.255.192 (this is the same subnet of the en4 USB interface, above) gateway/router: 192.168.0.1 (this is the address of the en4 interface) DNS: 192.168.2.1
    "(here's where the voodoo comes in, I have no idea why this DNS setting works. You would think it should be 192.168.0.1, or even the DNS server of my ISP, but those simply do not work. I suspect that it has something to do with sharing over Airport as well).
    "I've also found that this will only work properly if Internet Sharing is active for my Airport interface. If I turn off the Airport interface (en1), the wired interface (en4) also dies. With these settings in place, everything seems to work properly. Keep in mind you may also need to enable certain services (which will vary with your application) in the Services tab of the Sharing Pane:"
    i wasn't trying to solve quite the same problem he was, but by manually inputting the IP addresses, etc, that he did, as well as randomly enabling other "sharing" options (FTP access, etc) which seemed unrelated to internet sharing, it finally worked.
    can anyone explain what this is about? it all seems pretty cryptic to me. i'm not sure what i even did...
    no complaints, but it would be interesting to know.
    thanks!

  • Problems sharing internet over Airport extreme

    I have a PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.11) with a USB wireless broadband modem connected to the internet. I bought each of my daughters a MacBook (OS 10.5), and the idea was for me to have my laptop connected to the internet, then use internet sharing via my airport extreme card so that the girls could access the internet from my connection across airport.
    I have no problem using my wireless broadband to connect to the internet. I have no problem firing up my airport extreme and creating the network, and I have no problem creating the internet share. I all seems to be working at my end. On the girls MacBooks, we have no problem firing up airport and connecting to the airport network I created. However, when we fire up safari, all we get it "you are not connected to the internet".
    I'm lost. Any ideas?

    cdelahoy, Welcome to the discussion area!
    On your PowerBook G4 do you have the firewall enabled? If so, try go to System Preferences-> Sharing preference pane and enabling Personal Web Sharing. That should open the ports needed to give Internet access to the MacBooks.
    If that doesn't work, try disabling the firewall on the PowerBook G4.

  • Make network to connect wireless and ethernet macs

    i have a macbook that connects via Airport, and a Mac Pro that connects via ethernet.
    In the past - I've had no problems connecting/sharing between 2 macs, but both were sharing one airport.
    Since plugging in the MacPro, I'm no longer able to share between the airport connected macbook and ethernet connected MacPro.
    Seems like it should be simple and I'm feeling silly.
    help?

    wireless mac -
    ip - 10.0.1.2
    subnet - 255.255.255.0
    router - 10.0.1.1
    macpro ethernet -
    ip - 192.168.15.2
    subnet - 255.255.255.0
    router - 192.168.15.1
    I had tried doing a manual setting on the ethernet connected mac (which is plugged into the back of the airport, btw) - changed all settings to match the wireless mac, but still am not able to print wireless to the ethernet mac. when I look under "sharing" on the ethernet mac, the ip still shows up as 192.168.15.1, even after manual config....
    thanks in advance

  • Sharing internet while hooked up via ethernet

    Hi,
    I want to hook two computers (one 10.3 one 10.4) via ethernet to each other. I also want to hook one up to an airport via its airport card then share the internet (the 10.4 one is the one connected to the airport).
    How would I go about this? I can't figure out how to allow airport connection via tcpip while I'm using tcpip for the ethernet connection.
    I am sure this is posted here somewhere but I can't find anything specific (step by step instructcions).
    I have figured out how to network the two computers via ethernet.
    Thanks!
    Misha

    Hi Misha,
    The exact thing you want to do is configured via:
    System Preferences > Sharing > Internet
    (Ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh336.html)
    In your case you will set this up on the 10.4 machine, where you will share your Aiport connection and allow other computers to connect via the ethernet connection. (ie. airport is set up in Network preferences, and ethernet is set up in Sharing preferences)
    Note the advice about turning on Personal Web sharing also. (This should mean your 10.4 firewall will allow pass-thru connections from the 10.3 machine)

  • Can I have a wireless and ethernet network?

    I want to have a wireless and hardwired/ethernet network in my house. I want to be able to leave one comouter (an eMac that I do most of my work from) connected to the internet via ethernet cable, and then have the Airport Extreme send out the wireless signal (to the laptops, G4PowerBook & MacBook, we also use in the house).
    Right now I use my eMac as to send out the wirelss signal, but that required having the eMac on and connected to the internet to then be able to use the internet on our laptops. I hoped that getting an Airport would elimiate having to have the eMac on all the time.
    I bought an Airport Extreme at an Apple Store (in Toronto) and the told me that all I needed to do was have the internet going in to the Airport fromthe modem, and then have the ethernet cable coming out from the Airport and to my eMac.
    I set it up this way and while the Airport does send out signal to our laptops fine, the eMac does not get any signel from the ethernet cable.
    I can't seem to find any information saying that this set up can actually be done. I find a lot of informetion saying that the ethernet-out port on the airport is for things like printers, and not for internet signal.
    So, despite what I was told in the Apple Store, can this sort of set up be done? If so, what am I doing wrong?
    -Greg

    Greg,
    Yes, you can do what you describe.
    The airport extreme base station has two ethernet ports in the rear.
    One is for the WAN port were you connect your modem and the other one is for the LAN port where you connect your computer (or hub, etc.)
    Plug in your Airport Extreme like mentioned above. You will have to configure it for the Internet and to Distribute IP Addresses if you Internet Modem is NOT a router.
    Then setup your computer via the Ethernet cable and Ethernet connection in your System Preferences > Network > Ethernet ...
    Set your Airport connection or Ethernet connection on your eMac to DHCP....
    Your Airport Extreme should then assign you an IP address, etc., and you should be able to access the Internet at that point.
    Give that a try.

  • Wireless and ethernet broken

    When I upgraded to the new kernel (2.6.31), Neither of my NIC's (Wifi and Ethernet) worked. When I did ifconfig -a, it only showed lo. The Wifi card is an Intel 5100 (using the iwlagn module), and the Ethernet card is an Attansic Technology Corp. Device 1063 (so says lspci) using atl1c module. In dmesg, I found a line that said
    iwlagn: HW not ready
    After some searching, I found a temporary fixed by putting apci=off in my grub config on the kernel line, thus disabling all APCI. However, this is a laptop, and so no CPU scaling, suspend, or even proper shutdown. Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi,
    similar problem here. There are differences in the hardware detection between the kernel versions. Maybe that's the problem. But I can't figure out a solution at the moment.

  • Advice to extend range from Time Capsule - wireless and ethernet with Airport Express and Airport Extreme

    Current wireless network is Time Capsule (connected to a Cisco router, 1GB switch to servers and printer 1) to Airport Express (wireless) and to Airport Extreme (wireless). Distance means poor signal at the Extreme which has 2 printers (ethernet cables) and an iMac (wireless)
    Solution is to connect the Extreme to the Time Capsule via Cat 6 ethernet cable
    How do I configure the TC and the Extreme?
    I will keep the Express for a wireless extension to the TC 

    Wired Ethernet from the TC to the AirPort Extreme will result in much better performance.  It sounds as if you are not configuring the AirPort Extreme correctly.
    Please try the following steps carefully:
    Unplug the Ethernet cable from the AirPort Exteme if it is not already unplugged. With the AirPort Extreme powered on, hold in the reset button on the Extreme for 10 seconds and release. Allow a full minute for the Extreme to restart
    Connect the Ethernet cable to the WAN "O" port on the Extreme.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the Mac's screen and wait a few seconds for a listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear. Just below that, click on AirPort Extreme.
    The example below displays an AirPort Express. You will see AirPort Extreme.
    AirPort Setup will open up automatically and take a minute to analyze the network, then announce that the Extreme will be configured to extend the Time Capsule network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use for the Exterme and click Next
    Wait a minute while AirPort Setup configures everything for you. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    That's it.  Pretty simple.  Things should be working fine now.
