Replacement Homehub 2.0 and Ethernet Connection

Hi all,
PLEASE HELP! I have a HomeHub2.0 and have it connecting via wireless to my laptop and through ethernet to my desktop (as the network card doesn't work). This worked perfectly until our HomeHub died. We bought a replacement HomeHub (through ebay) and this works ok wirelessly. I am trying to connect to the internet on my desktop via the ethernet and nothing is working. I have tried to open the HubManager already installed on my desktop but it says "Unable to Connect to Hub". I have tried to go into my internet setting and access properties to check ISP addresses etc but really don't know what I'm doing. I did notice that through the control panel I checked the Network Connections but there was nothing there so I added the Homehub using the info on the back of hub. It seems to have set up a connection but again nothing is working. I've been trawling the internet and even downloaded new drivers for my Emachines 3230 thinking it may be the drivers but I don't know how to reinstall them? I'm in a muddle. Please help, I need to access my employer database on the desktop to do a return to Inland Revenue in the next few days but without internet access I'm bleeped!
Thanks
Natalie

Have you reset the home hub to factory default by pressing the recessed reset button for about 20 seconds, while it is powered up?
Also, many of the old home hubs 2.0 have a number of problems, so you may have been sold a faulty one.

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.

BT Homehub 2 and ethernet connection with windows ...

If I connect my laptop using an ethernet cable and the PC goes into sleep mode when it is reactivated the router restarts. This doens't happen with a wireless connection just a wired ethernet. I have checked the properties for the ethernet adapter and can't see anything untoward there ( the power management items aren't ticked). Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix.

Internet won't work with wireless and ethernet connected at the same time. Airport extreme

Why can I not connect ot the internet when both the ethernet cable is connected. The connection is fine when only on wireless and fine when only the ethernet cable is connected but won't work when the cable is plugged in.
any ideas?

opps forgot to set router as bridge turned off NAT and problems solved

Can MBP run both WiFi and Ethernet connections at same time?

I've been running my mid-2012 MBP via USB and WiFi.
I acquired 8-port 10/100Mbp Switch. Can I run hardware like printers, external HD from MBP via the Ethernet switch and still keep USB connections and WiFi net for other purposes at same time?
(I found USB-ethernet adapters on internet)

Macs and many PCs can keep multiple network connections going. When you look at the list of connections in the Network system preference, the one on top is the primary connection and if you want another network interface to be the primary (like Ethernet) you use Set Service Order to drag it to the top of the list.
But when you do that, I think all services use whatever is primary. What I don't know how to do is make specific applications use specific network interfaces.

Target Display Mode And Ethernet Connection.

Can I use my iMac as a display for a Mac Mini using Target Display Mode while using the iMac as a slave for the Mac Mini via ethernet?

OK.
I have a 2011 iMac which I use as my DAW. First I want to transfere the entire hard drive contents over to a Mac Mini(fusion drive) using Apple Migration Assistant.
Next I'll trash most everything on the iMac except for my DAW plugin libraries and then install and set up Vinenna Pro 5.
Next I'll connect my iMac to the Mac Mini with a TB cable in Target Dispaly Mode.
Then I'll connect the iMac and Mac Mini using the ethernet ports to access Vienna Pro 5 with my DAW(host) software.
Apple states that the USB and FW ports won't function on the iMac while in Target Display Mode but does not mention ethernet so I'm asuming that it will.
What do you think?

IP over Firewire AND Ethernet connected cluster?

Does anyone have any experience with IP over Firewire and Qmaster? What I'm trying to do (for now) is to have a file server connected to a bunch of Firewire HD's, then that connected to two other macs via IP over Firewire, and all that be a cluster.
The file server is the controller. Or I want it to be at least. Connected to this cluster are two workstations, connected to the file server via Ethernet.
So it's File Server with several external Firewire HD's connected to it with the video data. Connected to this file server are two macs via IP over Firewire which will be services only nodes. Connected to ALL of this over ethernet are two editing workstations. Qadmin can't seem to see the two mac nodes connected via IP over Firewire.
The problem is that Qadminstrator can't see the two macs connected to the file server via IP over Firewire. I'm wondering if for some reason data can't go from Ethernet to IP over Firewire and back again.
Any tips or suggestions? I'm just about out of ideas for now.

I was also NOT ABLE to use both nodes connected in a MIX of ETHERNET and FIREWIREover IP.
I WAS able to get a 4 x NODE cluster working using SHAKE & COMPRESSOR/QMASTER using all GbE EThernet - I went out and bought a cheap 8 x PORT ethernet GbE hub and all my problems went away.
HEre's what I had initially and what I did and it DIDN'T work consistently..:
Hardware Initially:
• g5 QUAD and 2 x MBP Dual Core 15's + 1 x MBPDC 17inch.
• G5 QUAD GBE1 connected to #1 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable
• G5 QUAD GBE2 connected to #2 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable
• G5 QUAD FW0 connected to 1 x MBPDC 17 on its FW1 with 6 pin FW cable
• G5 QUAD is set as CONTROLLER+SERVICES
• MBPDC's are all SERVICES ONLY.
• thus 3 x SUBNETS
SETUP#1- problem symptoms
• via QMASTERADMIN - G5 CONTROLLER could see MBPDC 17 and ONE of the MBP15;s but not all of them.
•tries various configs on each FW and EN0 for boths FW and EN paths.. never consistent view..
• removed some FW disks from FW400 path that were attached to CONTROLLER G5 host ... could then see ALL as a MIX of THERNET and FW. (Same happens using FW800 - although avoided this because of sperious DISK issues wth external FW800 disks on G5 QUAD).
• created cluster (not a quick cluster)- sent simple long I-FRAME based DV-PAL to smaller DVPAL) codec test to compressor and set the CLUSTER to the QMASTER on I defined.
• set QMASTER controller sys pref to use ALL NETWORK PATHS and disbaled the AIRPORT subnets on each MACHINE)
• PROBLEM was only G5(controller+services) and TWO of the services nodes (MBPDC's) were processing - NEVER all three! It didn't seem to matter what IP path was onnected (EN or FW).
• - all the above was a NO go waster of time. (aggh)
so..
HARDWARE SET UP #2 and what worked first time!
• purchased 1 x GBE Ethernet hub (8xport) w/P/supply and four 1m ethernet cables
• g5 QUAD and 2 x MBP Dual Core 15's + 1 x MBPDC 17inch.
• G5 QUAD GBE1 connected to GBE HUB
• #1 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
• #2 x MBPDC 15 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
• #1 x MBPDC 17 on its EN0 with cable to GBE HUB
• G5 QUAD is set as CONTROLLER+SERVICES
• MBPDC's are all SERVICES ONLY.
• thus 1 x SUBNET....!
WORKS EVERY TIME First time
• all machines work to render or transcode.
• for SHAKE RENDERING, each CPU has a process.. so there seems to be as many as (4 x 1)+2 + 2 + 2 rendering processes at any one time.
• less for COMPRESSOR as one per HOST (4 in my case)
Also.. in QMASTERADMIN - always:
• have the SOURCE and TAGET disk volumes|directories ou need MOUNTED (NFS works for me) and
• set to NEVER COPY.
• set QMASTER sys prefs/Advanced/"USe NEtwork Interface = EN0 (or whatever one you want to use. 'd imagine that a FW hub would also do the job (IPoFW).... but for me I had all free ETHERNETs NICS so I used them.
• oh .. enable all your airports NICS.. .. in the above QMASTER wont use this subnet.
This speeds the WORKFLOW up enormously because the source material does not have to be COPIED to each host (well I think that what it means).
So the solution in my case was to have ALL the HOSTS on a SINGLE subnet..
works for me.
hope that helps

Leopard and ethernet connection

Hello
I've just bought a Macbook, straight out of the box it's great except it won't connect to the internet via my ethernet cable.
I have a G3 ibook which runs Panther and it has been connecting with no problems whatsoever, and thankfully I do have it as internet connection is important..
I know there are a few questions on the same topic and I have tried some of the suggestions but nothing's helping. I don't have wireless internet, but I know that is working as it randomly connects to outside wireless sources.
I've tried "renewing DCHP lease", manually inputting the IP address that my ibook uses, but I am not computer savvy so any suggestions or advice in really plain English would be great.
Thank you! I am so frustrated by this.

Thank you! That seems to have done the trick.
I noticed, through the Network Assistant, that it changed IP addresses a couple of times and then everything seemed to work fine.
Also, I had to go into Firefox and change the Preferences manually so it would use the IP address - is this normal? Not a big deal cos now it works!!
Thanks again for your quick reply.

Time Capsule and Ethernet Connection

Switch Time Capsule To Wired Connection
I have a Time Capsule (sometime in 2010) that I use to have wirelessly connected to my iMac (May 11). Recently I connected the iMac via its ethernet port to one of the ethernet ports on the TC. The TC is my LAN wired and wireless router and works great for the Internet. Yes, DHCP is enabled. I have turned on my wifi for the iMAC since I want it only via ethernet.
However, now I do not see the Time Capsule on my desktop anymore.
SInce I previously have configured the Time Capsule to "join a wireless network", do I have to reset everything to get TM to work with TC via wired? Is there a way to do it without resetting TC?
Any help would be great,
Thanks
Brian

If you use wireless to get in, then simply turn off the join a wireless network and go back to the original setup.. but resetting to factory is no big deal .. it will not do anything to your backups.. you will just need to redirect the imac where the backup drive is.

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

Network Configuration Window Freezes When USB NDIS Internet Connection Sharing and Ethernet Port Are Used Simultaneously

Current Setup:
Asrock Extreme 4 Z77 mobo with built-in Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet. Windows 8 Pro. Intel i5-3570k (using onboard Intel 4000 HD Graphics). RAID0- 2 OCZ Vertex 4's.
I will refer to this setup as my tower.
The Ethernet port works fine by itself. When I use wired tethering with my Android phone (Droid 4 running on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich), it works fine when nothing is connected into the Ethernet port in the mobo.
The issue arises when I try to connect both simultaneously. The network configuration window in windows basically freezes and I cannot really navigate it without a ~60 second delay at best.
I would like to be able to accept the internet from my Android via a USB tether and either bridge the connection or use the internet connection sharing service to route traffic through the unused Ethernet port on the mobo (either to another computer/xbox
or more desirably a switch/router to spread to the entire home network). I have extensively researched the issue of Windows 8 become slow and unresponsive when I attempt to do this and I have not found anyone with the exact problem. I am able to
do both the MAC bridge miniport (bridge 2 connections) and Internet Connection Sharing though a Windows Vista (home premium) Laptop I have. The difference between the laptop and the tower I am try to do this on is the laptop has a WIFI and Ethernet connection
while the tower only has the on-board Ethernet.
Do I have all the necessary equipment to accomplish this, or do I need to buy a PCIe WIFI card? If so could I get away with just getting a USB WIFI dongle?
Any help would be very appreciated.

I had the same problem and came here by searching.
Per Rosengren's method solved the problem, but he didn't say how to do it, so I'll try to explain step-by-step for anyone that may venture here.
Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (for me it's called HTC Remote NDIS based device)
Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware
For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Corporation
Now you will have two options:
- Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
- Remote NDIS Compatible Device
I chose the second one and it solved the problem, but if it doesn't work you could try the other one. In my case, the driver that was being used was neither of these, but a special driver from Android SDK ADT bundle.
Pick one and click Next. If a dialog comes up, confirm by clicking Yes.
Wait a few seconds for the connection to restart. If it doesn't work, try disabling and reenabling USB tethering on the phone, or reconnect the USB cable.
I should also note that I'm using a custom Android ROM on HTC Wildfire S (unofficial Cyanogenmod). If you have a stock ROM with HTC Sense, maybe this method may not work and you'll need a proprietary HTC driver.

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.

IMac 21.5 inch Ethernet connection problem

I just got this iMac 21.5 inch 10,1 (Late 2009) about 1 week ago and what happens now is that Ethernet got some issue. Every time when start the PC, there is no connection with router although cable is connected. In the network window, it show Ethernet cable is unplugged. So I've to physically unplugged from either 1 end and re-plugged in again to get connected. Strange thing is my airport connection is working smoothly and my router to another PCs are also working normally. Can anyone care to share what could be the possible cause of this issue and how to resolve it. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Once it is connected, it working normally till restart again.

You can try a different Ethernet cable, but if it works after plugging back in, I don't think it would be the connection point. If it was, you should be able to disconnect and connect it while the iMac was off, and when you turn it on, it should work.
With AirPort turned off and Ethernet connected and working properly, open System Preferences Network pane. Where is says Locations, select +Edit Locations+. Click the plus sign to create a new location. Set up the new location's network settings as needed, and Apply. When using the new location, is there any improvement?

I lost the lan ethernet connection of an older windows 7 pc to my 3 Terabyte router when adding a new local printer to the pc. How do i set this up again so the PC is recognized and can get to the internet again through the time capsule?

I recently added a new printer to a 2005 vintage PC that is running windows 7. It used to go through a router in my wifes upstairs office to the time capsule by wired ethernet (cat5) but when I added her new local printer thought I would network it, big mistaked, lost all my ethernet connection and she cannot get to the internet. Wireless not an option. How do i set up again the ethernet connection and i will only USB the printer locally this time for the windows pc?
Tried windows diagnostics, and besides telling me to reset everything and turn router off and on etc. I am in an endless loop.
Other Mac products are not impacted by this issue.

I see no direct connection.. a printer and the computer setup for internet are not related.
But it sounds like the router in the wife's office is now in the wrong mode..
If you have an existing main router replace the second router for a switch .. that is the easy way.
Otherwise you need to bridge the router if it has that option.. most do not. Or use wan bypass.. where you turn off the dhcp server in the router and fix its ip to match the range of the main router.. this is the hassle of using router as a switch.
BUT I am making a huge number of assumptions.
What I need is the full network layout.. a quick picture would help.
I need main modem.. main router.. (maybe same box or different).. make model and current IP address and how dhcp is setup.
I need secondary router.. if that is what it is, IP and settings.
I want the printer type and model. How it is connected.
BTW I much prefer to see a network printer plugged into the network rather than usb.. it is only a matter of sorting the IP settings and driver pointing to the network rather than local.
Or you should think of it as a broken washing machine and call the technician.. who could fix the whole lot in an hour.

Imac clock needs to be set and bluetooth doesn't remember ethernet connection

My Imac is less than 2 years old. Upon startup, I am getting the error message "You computer's clock is set to a date before Jan 1, 2008. This may cause some applications to behave erratically." It also doesn't remember which ethernet connection it had last in the bluetooth menu. I have to choose it everytime. What's wrong with my mac? Is it the battery? If so, why is this happening now when I've only owned the machine (purchased brand new) less than 2 years? Could it be something else?

I HAD this problem with my Power Mac G5. The "before date" was different and my date and time were correct in the menu bar! The message appeared on December 16, 2011 and on January 16, 2012. Then on January 21 I pressed the button to turn the g5 on. The light came on then went out. SILENCE. I tried again but NOTHING. I didn't do the SMU thing as I assumed it was the power supply which I had allready replaced once (in about 2007). I hope it wasn't just a battery, because I had the hard drive put in a cradle and am about to gut the G5 so I can use that beautiful case for something else! Did you ever figure it out?
