Questions on using a WRT110 on a network with another router

i dont know all the terminology for what im trying to do here so please bear with it and ill try to make it simple.
so i just got a wrt110 to replace a dlink i had that kept having the wireless go out on it.
the set up i had [and am trying to get back to] was like this:
an 8 port router going to a bunch of computers and into another room where it connected to a wireless router [WRT110] that in turn connected to a few other devices.
the set up i had before made it so that the main 8port router 192.168.0.1 would do dhcp and that passed through to the wireless router. that way everything was on the same 192.168.0.X network
what my problem now is that i dont know how to get the linksys WRT110 to passthrough the DHCP to things connected to it. so the 8port does DHCP and everything connected to that is 192.168.0.X but everything connected to WRt110 is 192.168.1.X so its like 2 seprate networks.
does anyone know what im trying to do is called? and anyone know how to do it?

Do this -
Connect a computer straight to the WRT110 Router, Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop) connected to the WRt110 Router...In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the main Setup page change the Router's IP Address/IP Address to 192.168.0.2(this address should be unique) and Disable the DHCP Server and click Save Settings, wait for 1 minute, unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...
Connect the WRT110 Router from Ethernet Port 1 to the 8 Port Router on it's Ethernet Port or LAN Port...
Now computer's connecting to the WRT110 Router will get the IP Address from the 8 Port Router in the Range of 192.168.0.x...

Just bought new time capsule- need help setting up WiFi network with another router

Here ismy situation.
I had a wireless network setup up at home using a Belkin wifi router.
I have 2 macBooks (1 pro, 1 air) and 2 iphones that connect wirelessly and a desktop PC that is hard wired to the ethernet port. In addition, I have a Verizon wireless network extender plugged in by ethernet. All of the hard-wired gear is in our 3rd floor attic office (and the wireless signal was strong throughout the house).
The Belkin wifi router was plugged into a wall ethernet jack that is in turn wired into a Linksys router in the basement (along with multiple other ethernet ports througout the house) and is hardwired to the Cable modem next to it. All of the hard-wired ethernet stuff (including the router in the basement) was there when we bought the house, and I have no clue in the tangle of wires how to sort them out (but don't really think I need to)
I just purchased a TimeCapsule to do wireless backups of my 2 macbooks, and tried to set it up alongside the existing wireless modem.
Needless to say, this did not work well. I called AppleCare, and was told that the TimeCapsule needs to be the "1st" wireless adapter, so I went into the basement, and connected the time capsule directly to the cable modem, and then out to the basement router. The Belkin router still needs to be in the attic to supply the PC and the Verizon adapter (so it is near a window for GPS signal).
If I try to name the WiFi network the same SSID on both the TC and the belkin router (to have dual signal strenth coverage) the whole thing gets messed up and the TC cannot be "found" by the aiprort Utility software.
What I have done now is that I have 2 side-by-side wireless networks with 2 unique names (actually 3, because I enabled the 5Ghz signal on the TC), but our wireless devices do not "switch" automatically from one SSID to another stronger signal SSID as we move through the house
Here's the question: How do I name them the same so that the devices will switch effortlessly to the stongest signal? I understand it involves switching the "channels" but don't know how to do it right now. Currently, everything works, so I don't want to mess it up tinkering. Another caveat- there are several other wireless networks from neighbors houses that I can "see". I jsut downloaded a program called iStumbler that shows the channels, but not sure what to do with that info.
Any advice would be appreciated.

OK.. sounds like a mess.. or at least messy and the previous people should have left a log book with all the IP address info in it.. you have far too many routers.. but from here it is impossible to tell how they are configured. Most are probably just setup as AP.
Naming rule for wireless.. Same SSID same security different channel.
SSID ie wireless name to work on the PC side should have no spaces and no special characters. TC name should also follow that rule. So the devices need to all set with fixed channels.
Don't worry too much about iStumbler and what is outside your house.. there isn't enough channels at 2.4ghz anyway. And you are going to need to use them all. There are only three non-overlapping channels. 1, 6, 11 so set each device to one of those channels. The TC should be as close as you can to where you normally use the MacBooks.. and turn on the 5ghz. You will have to leave it to automatic name so the Macbook can also roam across from 2.4 to 5ghz. But if you care to use a different name and force it onto 5ghz the speed is much better as long as you are in the same room.
Roaming is great in theory.. often in practice it just doesn't work.. you need to step in and turn off wireless and then turn it back on.. you can quickly see which router it is connecting to by hold down the option key when you click the airport fan in the top menu area.. and look at bssid.. you will have to figure out which number MAC address relates to which router.
Also do not be surprised if Lion gives you issues. It seems to often drop out and lose connection to the TC as a backup device even if internet is still working.

Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?

Is it possible to share networks with another mac (MacBook)?
I want to be able to create a document on my computer and save it on both my MacBook Pro and another MacBook. Also, I want to be able to open documents saved only on the MacBook on my MacBook Pro. Is that possible on the same wirelss?
Thank you!

You would not want to use ad hoc networking if you also need to access the internet. I'm not even sure it is possible.
How are you accessing the internet from these Macs now? If you have a wifi (or wired) network that you both access in your work location, you should be able to use File Sharing across that network, so you shouldn't need the ad hoc network.
Some general observations:
You'll need a plan for how to keep straight which Mac holds the most current version of a file. That should probably be to keep each file in only one place (your Mac, the other Mac, a local file server, a cloud server). Even in our home, with one person doing most of the file accessing, I find a central location works best for this; in my case, that's a desktop system that stays on all the time, but a disk attached to my AirPort Extreme base station, a Time Capsule, or a NAS would serve.
If you make use of the portability of the MacBook[Pro]s to work in different locations, you'll also need a plan that includes that working away from the main work location. If you often work with common files while away from your main work location, a cloud solution may be best even with just two of you. Depending on the size of your files, one of the free cloud solutions may suffice; most offer paid expansion as your needs grow.

Questions about using iMovie HD (6.0.4) with a new, as yet undecided, camcorder

Hi,
I want to keep on using iMovie HD (6.0.4) with whatever new camcorder I am getting. iMovie HD accepts mpeg-4 video so any camcorder that uses that format should work, shouldn't it? I will (probably) be bringing the video in via USB, as I don't think any new camcorders have Firewire ports anymore but I'd love to know about any that do. The plan is to find the files on the camcorder and drag and drop or otherwise transfer them into my MacBook Pro. (See my last question for the Thunderbolt/Firewire adapter problem.)
I've read that some?/all? Canon camcorders can record in both AVCHD and mpeg-4 so I'm looking into them. Any other brands I should check out? Using AVCHD looks like it will be too much trouble so I'm ruling those out, unless you have better ideas.
I've heard that Sony uses their own proprietary "wrapper" for mpeg-4 files their camcorders create. I think there is software out there, possibly for free, that will simply "re-wrap" them, not re-ecode them, so that they may be more easily used. Will Sony camcorders be a problem?
Will file sizes be a problem? I've read so much on AVCHD and other formats that maybe this doesn't apply but I've read that one hour of video can be 60 gb? I don't remember what context that was in.
Can I use mpeg-2 files? From what I have read, I don't think I can. If converting them would make them work, would it take a long time to do that and would file sizes be huge?
I have been using a 21 year old Sony DCR-TRV 9 mini DV cam. This past weekend the LCD screen died. I can still use the viewfinder but that's going to be challenging, so I am shopping for an inexpensive new camcorder. Less than $500, somewhere in the $100-$300 range is preferred but no toys.... HD seems to be out of reach with most starting around $500 but if you recommend any under $500, I'd love to know about them. SD should be fine otherwise. I prefer some sort of card for storage storage rather than a DVD or hard drive. The more popular format, the better.
Any advice is welcome. I do want to stay with iMovie HD though. I have tried iMovie 11 and don't like it. HD suits me fine.
One last question: Since my MacBook Pro doesn't have a Firewire port, I have found it simpler to use my old Powerbook that does. I then transfer the files over to the MacBook Pro to edit them. I have tried using a Thunderbolt/Firewire adapter so I could use the MBP but it didn't work well with video. The question is: is there a better way to transfer the video files onto the MBP from whatever new camcorder I get than USB? Are there good Thunderbolt connectors that will work well with camcorders?
Many thanks.
Cheers,
John L

I heartily support your decision to continue to use iMovie 6! I use nothing else!
imovie 6 was originally designed to import DV video streams from tape via firewire. However, in practise it can do much more. Useful sources of information:
iMovie 6 Help:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iMovie_HD_6_Getting_Started.pdf
from which this is excerpt:
iMovie HD can transfer, or import,
video in many video formats and from many different
types of camcorders, including DV camcorders (including those that support
widescreen) and high definition (HDV) camcorders. In most cases, iMovie HD can
automatically recognize and import the video you’re using, so you don’t have to pay
attention to video formats.
In this step, you will import your own video into your iMovie project. If you have a
camcorder with a FireWire connection, follow the instructions to connect your
camcorder and import the video using the capture controls in iMovie HD. If you have
another type of digital video device or have footage in a file on your computer, see the
instructions on page 13.
To import video from a camcorder:
1
Set the camcorder to VTR mode (some camcorders call this Play or VCR) and turn it on,
if necessary.
2
Connect your camcorder to your computer using a FireWire cable.
This MaciLife PDF is also good:
http://www.macilife.com/PDF/iMovie_HD_6_Chapter.pdf
There is also a video tutorial here (with links to others):
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=654013474999069361#
The excerpt I quoted from the Apple link is less informative than it could be. It also succesfully imports video from my Fuji FinePix S4500 (actually a digital still camera) via USB2, as well from my Sony video camera via firewire!
Can I use mpeg-2 files? From what I have read, I don't think I can. If converting them would make them work, would it take a long time to do that and would file sizes be huge?
No. mpeg2 is the final compressed standard format of a DVD (and will be created by iDVD). To use that in iMovie 6 requires you 'reverse engineer' the file back to a DV stream, with commensurate loss of quality. If you really want to do that, post back for instructions.
I have no experience with Thunderbolt so can't help you there, but hopefully Karsten will see this thread and chime in with his usual excellent advice!

HT4260 Can an Airport Extreme be used to form a roaming network with Time Capsule?

I tried the on-line instructions above to extend my Wi-Fi network with a roaming network but the graphics in the instrucions apparently show an earlier version of Airport Utility. Following the intent of the instructions, e.g., ethernet cable connection ports, etc., all I have achieved is a yellow flashing light on Airport Extreme. Airport Extreme has been reset to factory settings but it is not seen by the network.
Do I have it backward, for example, should the Airport Extreme be the base station and the TIme Capsule be the extended station?
What do you think I am doing wrong? Or, is this an impossible extension?
Thanks, Chad

Suggest that you use the much more functional and useful AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion which was released at the same time as AirPort Utility 6.0.
Keep both 5.6 and 6.0 on your Mac and use the one that you want.
Post back if you need more assistance.

Airport Express Networking with Existing Router + ONT

I have a TELDAT Wifi router connected to an ONT, both provided by my ISP. The TELDAT router does not perform very well, I have many issues with airplay, itunes home sharing and even with my apple TV. I read many forums and came to the preliminary conclusion that the problem may be the TELDAT router.I was looking to replace the provided router with another one, however It seems that this router use VLAN tags to connect to the ONT via its WAN port so apparently not all routers support this.
I have checked a lot of reviews and forums and it seems that Airport Express was the right choice in order to make all Apple services to work seamlessly. I then purchased an airport express; however I'm not really sure what is the most recomendable network configuration in order for the Airport Express to switch all data between my connected devices and only use WAN port for accesing the internet. It need to be taken into account that the TELDAT router cannot be replaced by Airport Express due to the VLAN tagging thing.
My current configuration:
Currently I have all my iDevices (ipad, iphone, apple TV, Mac Mini and Philips Airplay Speakers) and one DLINK camera connected via WIFI to the TELDAT router. The TELDAT router provides 4 ethernet ports, so I have my Samsung Smart TV connected to ethernet port 1 and another DLINK camera connected to ethernet port 2.
What i want:
First I would turn TELDAT Wifi off, so only the Airport Express will provide wireless connectivity. In addition I'd like all my iDevices connections/services between them to be handled by the Airport Express, so the TELDAT router does not have any influence in the apple services perfromance. On the other hand I need two ethernet LAN ports and the airport express only have one, so, I'll connect my Samsung TV to this port and dlink camera will now be connected via Wifi to the Airport Express.
I read that for he configuration I want I will need to configure the Airport Express in "bridge mode"; however my main worry is that in this mode, all communications between my iDevices will go to the TELDAT router and then back to the Airport Express, affecting this way the performance and leaving in the same place as before.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Probably, unless the Netgear has been set up in some non-standard way.
But, every manufacturer seems to do something a bit different with their wireless, so a device from one manufacturer will not always be compatible with a device from another manufacturer when you try to connect using wireless.
It should work. But, should work is not the same as saying it will work. It might be a good idea to understand the store's return policy just in case things don't work out as well as expected.

Using WRT54G and WET11 with another router as the Gateway

I have a wired network in the house with access to the Internet through a router on the 2nd floor. I connect a ReplayTV DVR in the basement to the network with a Cat5 cable running across the floor between the DVR and a switch. I'd like to replace that with a wireless solution.
I have at my disposal one WET11 bridge and two WRT54G routers. Neither of those routers is the one connecting the house to the cable modem. Is there a way I can connect one of the WRT54G routers to a switch in the basement and have it talk to the WET11 connected to the DVR on the other side of the basement?

I made some progress, but then ran into a couple of snags. I'm not routing with the WRT54G so I connect it to a switch through one of the 4 ports that is not the one labeled Internet.The network looks like this:
Cable Modem --> Netgear Router --> Switch --> WRT54G(port 1)
Laptop --> WRT54G(port 4)
With that cable arrangement I was able to log in to the WRT54G's administration page from my laptop, give the WRT54G a name and change it's IP address to 192.168.1.251. I left the subnet as 255.255.255.0.I also started to configure some other settings, but I did not write them down. I was able to access the Internet from the laptop at that time.
I was also able to move the cable going from the laptop to port 4 on the WRT54G with the WET11 Ethernet Bridge and could access the Internet. And, I was able to remove the bridge, turn on the laptop's wireless capability and access the Internet through a wireless connection to the WRT54G.
I tried to access the WRT54G's admin page wirelessly, but was not able to get to the login screen. I ran out of time and set everything aside for a week. When I got back to it, I was unable to access the WRT54G's loging screen. I can still connect the laptop to port 4 on the WRT54G and reach the Internet, but I cannot do so using the bridge.
Is there some tool I can use to determine the IP address of the WRT54G? I tried resetting (using the button on the back), and I tried several IP addresses in addition to the one I'm pretty sure I used. I'm assuming that I'm trying to log in using the wrong IP address.
I have a second WRT54G that I can still log on to. However, I don't want to do anything with it until I understand what I did wrong with the first one. (Both of them are version 6.)
Another snag is that I was never able to get the setup program to find the WET11. It claimed that it couldn't find the one I had plugged into the laptop's Ethernet port, even though I was able to connect to the Internet using that bridge to the WRT54G. However, that does not work anymore.
Pointers as to what went wrong would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

Creating an extended network with another base station

I bought the new 802.11n because I wanted to extend my network into another area where it is getting a weaker signal. I set up the new one as the main one, and selected "extend the network" - then I had my old one (only a few months old) "join the network".
Is it boosting the signal in a new area? The computer there still shows just as weak of a signal as before. The remote base station is about center between the new base station and the computer.

Nevermind.. I changed it to "extend the network" and it works much better.

I try to switch on my WiFi connection at home with ADSL router. Always I get the answer - Wrong password. The pasword used is correct. It works with another hardware.

I try to connect my iPhone with internet through WiFi with ADSL router. My network is visible. When I try to connect it, I write the password and I get always one answer - WRONG PASSWORD. The same password works perfectly with other two computers and other smartphone.

Did you already try to reset your network settings on the phone in Settings/General/Reset/Network settings ?

Using a Mac on windows network with a proxy server

Hi I’m very new to Macs to apologies if this is a really silly question. I’m
trying to setup a Mac on our network and I’m having an issue getting it to work
properly with our proxy server. I have connected the Mac to the network and
selected automatic proxy configuration in the network settings using the URL of
our Pac file. I am asked for a proxy username and password when I initially try and
access a website but once I have entered my credentials they are saved in
keychain and anyone coming after me can browse using my account. I work in a
hospital so there are many different people accessing different devices. We
monitor and trace all users internet browsing so my question is can I configure
the Mac to ask for proxy credentials for different users? On our windows devices
a login box will appear if the browser has been closed and reopened. Can I do
this with the Mac?????
Any help you can offer will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

The short answer is that the IT department is a strict Microsoft shop and also incompetent. Almost everything in that message is patently false. Unfortunately, when accessing Microsoft Server services like this, you will need the support of the IT staff to tell you various settings to use. I think it is pretty clear that they have no intention of doing that.
There is nothing "special" about bootcamp. It is just a boot loader. A Mac running Windows via bootcamp is a Windows PC, not a Mac. As such, it will work perfectly fine in the network. You could also try running Parallels. I believe Parallels can be configured to use a bootcamp partition so you could run Windows via either bootcamp or Parallels.
One of the few things that is correct is that Apple does have to provide driver support for bootcamp and there is the possibility of random incompatibilities - but no more so than any other PC manufacturer. Parallels/VMWare may work around that with a different set of incompatibilities. Don't be too worried about this part. These "incompatibilities" are minor and almost always with funky hardware devices. What you want to do should work perfectly with either Parallels/VMWare or Bootcamp.

Can I use apple TV on home network with time capsule or Airport Xtreme without being connected to the internet?

I'm wondering if I can use Apple TV to play movies and slide shows on my TV, play music over my sound system and print from my devices (Iphone 4S, iPad and MacBook pro 2011) by using an Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule (to back up the devices) if those devices are not connected to the internet. Can anyone advise pls? Reason for this is that I work on a moving ship and don't have an internet connection to speak of for much of the time (and if I do it's a wireless system that I need to pay by the minute and that is too slow to support the Apple TV), but would all the same like to create a wireless environment where my devices can interact with each other. I seem to get conficting info and a rep at the apple store in Honolulu told me that you cannot use Airport Xtreme or Time Capsule without an internet connection (it was busy, he may have misunderstood my question).
Looking forward to your input.

Don't try to home share it.. as that is dependent on using Apple ID.
Just airplay to the ATV.. iTunes: Using AirPlay
The movie should play exactly as your doing music.. but get rid of the whole home share if that is causing issues.. there is no mention of needing home share in the above..
If you still have issues you might need to do it other ways.. like export the movie from itunes.. and play it using vlc which should allow you to stream it to the apple TV using airplay.
That is a bit tricky and I have not used that setup but it should work.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/23412/can-i-stream-any-video-played-wit h-vlc-player-to-apple-tv
If you have a hunt around you should find it fairly easy to do.. but straight airplay should work.. there is a very recent update to ATV which might help it with airplay.

A question regarding using a JDBC class to connect with cloud service database

Hello,
I am currently working on a small scale cloud service report where the company I chose is obviously Oracle. My question is regarding the cloud service in the following way. I was doing my report with the free trial until it just came to me that
why not to do a small one class program with my netBeans or Eclipse that uses JDBC but I am not sure what username, password and the url to use in the connection to retrieve, manipulate and store values. Can somebody help me please if this is possible or not?
edit: Anyone please? I have a deadline in 15.8. and could create something great until then if I get the anwser in few days

To correct my question, I already have the oracle account and I created the cloud service trial account with database and java section.

Using a guest wi-fi network with changing username and password

I am trying to access a "guest user" wi-fi network at my office. For security purposes, the guest network username and password are changed periodically. The connection worked fine until the username and password changed. Is there any way to access the setup of a specific wi-fi network on the iPhone and update the user name and password? I would like to be able to do it without resetting ALL the networks used?
I tried to use "Forget Network" and then restored the connection, but it appears the iPhone retains the old username and password in memory.
Thanks!
liv3itup

Well, I tried to duplicate what you talked about. I have my wireless here at home, and I chose, "Forget this network" and when I went to rejoin, it asked for a password. Many public networks take their username and password through the browser. Have you tried to open Safari to see if it will default to the username/password screen? I've used mine at hotels that change their access every 24 hours and if I try to log back on after the time, it defaults back to the login screen. That is the only solution that I can think of. And yes, if you go to settings and reset network settings, it will clear all of them.
