Serial to ethernet adapter

I now have a really old computer:
ZENITH NOTEBOOK, Z-NOTE 425Ln+, CPU 80486DX 25MHZ, 8MB RAM, 1.44MB FLOPPY DISK DRIVE, 200 MB HARD DISK DRIVE, 9 PIN SERIAL PORT, 25 PIN PRINTER PORT, PS/2 MOUSE PORT, VGA MONOCHROME VIDEO LCD, EXTERNAL VGA CONNECTOR, AC ADAPTER, WEIGHT 8 LBS,
If I had the external modem I could get on the internet, but even if I did have it I do not have dial up anymore.
if I got a serial to ethernet adapter would there be a way to configure the internet when I switch it to linux?

I don't believe such things exist... Serial is way slower than modern ethernet. Does the laptop have PCMCIA slot(s)?

Usb to Ethernet adapter doesn't work? AX88772B

I don't know how to make a connection with Internet with RJ-45 cable with the usb adapter.
I have MBA. Lion 10.7.5
Now I need to connect MBA by RJ-45 cable with usb adapter (asus AX88772B)
MBA see the adapter (even without an ethernet cable).
I also did download drivers from here http://www.asix.com.tw/products.php?op=pItemdetail&PItemID=105;71;101&PLine=71
I read the instruction, and I've done 3 steps on the page 4 exept these one's:
(4) Set the permission access mode of Apple’s default driver.
(5) Update the access and modification times of ASIX’s AX88772B/772A/760/772 or AX88178 driver.
But i don't know how to do this.
In the system report is always written this:

But still I can't make an Usb to Ethernet connection in system preferenes, nothing written about it there.

Hmm. Well I tried rebooting with wifi off but that didn't fix things for me. Would you mind sharing what your System Information says under Thunderbolt? This is what mine looks like:

Thunderbolt to Ethernet Adapter doesn't work with Retina MacBook Pro

I can't seem to connect to Ethernet with my Retina MacBook Pro. I bought an adapter and when I plugged it in, the network setup assistant showed that I was connected to the internet but my web browsers (Safari, Firefox and Chrome) couldn't connect, nor could any other programs (like Mail). The error message said that my computer was not connected to the internet, which did not match what Network Diagnositcs said. After a phone call with Apple Support, I had a replacement adapter mailed to me. With the new adapter, my computer now says that it is connected to the internet and I even have an IP address, but programs still can't connect and I get an error message saying the DNS lookup failed. This happens even when I manually enter the DNS server. I have already tried running the Thunderbolt software update 1.2.1 as well as the recent Thunderbolt firmware update, but the installer says they are not compatible with my computer. The problem occurs for both Thunderbolt ports. Is anyone else having this issue? I have no problem connecting to WiFi, so my temporary work around is using internet sharing on my old MacBook, which can connect to the ethernet connection in my apartment with no problems.

Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter or Thunderbolt port stopped working

Hey problem if anyone can help:
I use a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter, and all of a sudden it stopped working to connect to the internet on my Macbook Air (MacBook Air (11-inch, Early 2014 with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)). In my system information it says it is connected even when not, see below:

Can anyone help me figure out what the issue is? Is it the Adapter, the Thunderbolt port itself? A gremlin? Thanks!

Which model MacBook Pro do you have? Does it have a Thunderbolt port? If so the TB->Ethernet adapter MAY work (although it's specifically designed for those MacBook models that lack an Ethernet port).
The adapter would certainly be the cheapest way to go - if it works. Personally, I would rather have the Ethernet port on my MacBook Pro working, but this may be an expensive fix, I don't know. If I were you, I would at least take your computer to your local Apple Store/AASP and get a free diagnosis and estimate to repair your MBP. If it seems as if it's going to be too costly, then you may certainly try the adapter and see if it works.

D-Link Ethernet Adapter DUB-E100 not recognized in Mountain Lion

I just upgraded my MacBook Air to Mountain Lion (I know, but better late than never). Unfortunately, my D-Link USB Ethernet adapter (I have 2 of them) that worked fine on Lion is not recognized on ML. I've checked the D-Link site for updated drivers, and they don't even have a driver for my Rev C hardware. Calling D-Link support costs more than buying a new adapter. Searching Apple support turns up no information, and a general web search only returns results that predate ML.
I would be eternally* grateful if someone could provide advice on where I might find a compatible driver. While I could probably write one, overall my fallback is to simply buy an Apple adapter.
*Perhaps not eternally, but for a day at least

More information:
The device is seen in System Profile -

I cant not get my USB ethernet adapter to work with my new Macbook Air.

So this is the second adapter I have bought and it seems to not work still. I didnt check System info on the first adapter but on the second one i noticed this. The current required mA is unknown. Is there a fix for this or should I try and get another adapter. I have the 2011 MacBook Air running lion.

Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet Adapter doesn't work

Just plugged in a Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet Adapter into MacBook Pro 15" 2.7GHz i7, OS 10.7.4
It is recognized correctly by System Profiler, but not in System Preferences - the Adapter just isn't shown in Network.
What is still needed?
Thanks for Answers!

Got this update:
All Thunderbolt-equipped Mac computers support this adapter. This adapter requires OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Thunderbolt-equipped Macs released prior to June, 2012, require the installation of Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2.1 to use this adapter.

What's the maximum LAN speed with the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter on my MacBook Pro?

While I was at Yodobashi Camera yesterday, I got a Thunderbolt to Gigabit ethernet adapter for my MacBook Pro. I figure, since I'm paying for the high speed fiber optic (Sony Nuro), why limit my self to wi-fi speeds at home?
Before connecting the adapter, via wi-fi it the speed was 143.8 Mbps down and 181.5 Mbps up.
After connecting the adapter and making a direct LAN connection to the router, the speed is 783.2 Mbps down and 940.1 Mbps up.
I'm certainly happy with the speed, but since Sony Nuro is supposed to be 2 Gbps down and 1 Gbps up I was wondering what the maximum possible is with this computer and adapter. Before asking the provider I was curious what the maximum specs where.
The ether cable is a 3 m category 6.
Thanks,
doug

It's not really your computer that is getting the 2Gbps download - it is the router/ modem.
If you hooked better/ different hardware up you could probably push those speeds around your network too. The trouble is that most residential hardware is gigabit ethernet not fibre. Fibre cards & cable are expensive in comparison.
The existing hardware may allow you to 'bond or aggregate' multiple ethernet connections into one link to get more speed over ethernet. Obviously this requires more complex routers, switches & a network admin to set it up
Those speeds sound nice, this bottleneck will mean that other devices on you network can't choke up the whole connection & make other users sad.

Satellite L770 - ethernet adapter has stopped working

HI
I have three laptops all connectable to my home hub, but I seem to be having serious problems with the latest model, the L770-13D. The signal strength has never been as good as the older models and just recently the Ethernet adapter has stopped working. I've updated drivers on both adapters but it hasn't made any difference. I've just recently upgraded my connection and I'm wondering whether the Ethernet adapter is not correctly configured since it was working alright prior to the upgrade.
I've also tried just about every test that I can do - The Toshiba config doctor returned a FAIL on the hardware check I did, but the device manager reports that both network adapters are working OK. Also, the troubleshooting of the wireless adapter reports that there 'may be a problem' The evidence seems to be pointing towards a hardware problem with this laptop.
Any thoughts?

HI Dr Lamp,
No I haven't tried that probably because I wouldn't know how to do it. I have a full recovery image on the data drive but I'm not comfortable with making any changes to the OS in case I mess things up. I've also got a recovery flash drive. Really, I'm out of my depth when it comes to making these sort of changes - I just thought that there may be something very simple that I'd overlooked. The machine is still under warranty, so I'll probably take it to a local computer specialist for diagnosis before involving Toshiba. If it's more than a software problem, they should earn their fees by repairing it. If you involve them and it isn't a hardware problem, they will bill you for about 80 plus carriage, so I'm naturally reluctant to do that. Also, you have to hang about waiting for delivery and collection. It may better to buy a USB/LAN adapter for about 20. Thanks for reply, anyhow.

How to configure network with just 1 ethernet adapter?

I was looking for a guide which would talk about how to configure your network in case if you have only 1 Ethernet adapter. Is it mandatory to have more than 1 network card to configure multiple ports? If not, what are the options available to deploy a Virtual Machine that can have applications which are available over the network. I don't have a separate network i.e. public network as well as management network is of same IP range.
I am having 2 node cluster using NFS for pools as well as repository.

I am having 2 node cluster using NFS for pools as well as repository. I strongly recommend you get at least one more physical NIC for your server, if not two: running NFS and the cluster heartbeat and the guest traffic all over the same network is going to put a lot of data down the wire and you may land up in a situation where the cluster traffic is overwhelmed and a node reboots. You need to be very careful in this situation. Network cards are cheap and you should have at least two or three, I reckon.

Can I connect my old mac to my new mac using the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter

I've got a lot of data to transfer from one mac to another, one with thunderbolt and one without. I was wondering if by using the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter I could connect the two macs in a target mode kinda way.
I know people will answer with a lot of other options in how to do this, but I am specifically interested in whether or not this option is possible.
Thanks!

you can use the adapter with any Thunderbolt-equipped Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4 or later, but you'll want to install the Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2.1 after having the 10.7.4 upgrade

Using USB 2.0 Network Ethernet Adapter for sharing printer with 3 computers

Hi all,
Opposed to using a print server, can I use a USB 2.0 Network Ethernet Adapter to connect my Epson printer over my ethernet DSL router?
Thanks
Web dude

Yea, I thought about an adapter for the USB 2.0 port, but for a few bucks more, get the USB 3.0 adapter and be able to connect to Ethernet at Gigabit speeds!
Since Lenovo has not commented on the absence of an Ethernet port, I'm guessing that the slim height of the Yoga prevents it, unless you go to some funky slide-out module and connect at a 90 degree angle (which would be a worse design). I had an old Thinkpad (or Dell?) with that design, and they are intermittent and subject to being broken off.
Bundling in the Ethernet Adapter would have been a nice touch. Perhaps they were trying not to increase the Yoga's "above market" price further.

Do I need to buy an ethernet adapter or can I use one of my existing AEXPs?

My situation: Just ordered a MacPro which will be delivered Monday. In the mean time I need to find a WiFi solution. The Airport cards for this model are not available yet, and I need Internet access now. Obvious solution is an ethernet adapter.
My wireless setup: I have three AEXPs in my house. One is connected to my modem, the other two are set up as WDS.
Given this can I connect one of AEXPs set up as a WDS to my MacPro via ethernet to use as a bridge? If so, would it be plug n' play or would I need to reconfigure? (BTW my modem is nowhere near where the MP will be and can't be relocated due to the way Verizon rewired my DSL line and made one jack dedicated to DSL. So connection to the modem via wired router is not an option).
Or do I need to buy something like a Belkin wireless G router to set up as an ethernet bridge? I've found instructions on the web how to do this, but obviously I'd like to avoid spending money if I have equipment to do what I need to do already.
Any guidance appreciated.

Are you sure that you are going to be able to install
this later? It does not appear on the MacPro DIY page.
Duane is correct the Mac Pro wireless card is not a user-installable part.
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/HardwareDrivers/Conceptual/MacPro0608/index.html
You CAN add Airport or BT after purchase, but it is not user upgradable. You have to have an Apple service provider do it.
AirPort Extreme
The Mac Pro computer has an optional, internal AirPort Extreme module connected to a dedicated 1-lane PCI Express bus. The AirPort Extreme module is available as a fully-integrated configure-to-order option or as an Apple Authorized Service Provider kit, which can be installed by an Apple retail store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. For more information, see AirPort Developer Note.
Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR Module
The Mac Pro computer has an optional, internal Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR (enhanced data rate) module, with an antenna built into the enclosure. The Bluetooth module is connected via the internal USB 2.0 controller. The Bluetooth module is available as a fully-integrated configure-to-order option or as an Apple Authorized Service Provider kit, which can be installed by an Apple retail store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. For more information, see Bluetooth Developer Note.
Personally I would get it added as a CTO (BTO) and wait rather than have the mess of an external device and the hassle of having to install a card at a later date.

Access to serial and ethernet port in FPGA for cRIO-9068

hi
i want to know if i can Access to serial and ethernet port in FPGA for cRIO-9068 like camera IP
thanks for help

dalyto wrote:
thanks
but how i can i acquire image with IP camera and fpga ???
The Ethernet hardware interface in the cRIO is not directly connected to the FPGA backplane in a way that you could directly access it. Even if you could it would be a pretty bad idea to try to do. A fully operational TCP/IP network stack implementation in the FPGA would not leave much resources for anything else even on the biggest FPGAs available. That doesn't include support for the typical image compression algorithmes which are even more complicated to implement on FPGA. Even if you would go to highly optimized VHDL code directly it would be a pretty difficult thing to do!
In fact implemenintg the MAC and PHY of an ethernet interface on the FPGA is totally trivial in comparison. The IP level could also be implemented fairly easily in the FPGA but anything above that is going to give you bad headaches and still will be very limited in number of connections and packet sizes it can support.

Windows 7 64bit on bootcamp doesn't recognize the thunderbolt-ethernet adapter

in my new macbook pro retina I've a problem on window 7 64bit (bootcamp 4.0). the OS doesn't recognize the thunderbolt-ethernet adapter..

The thunderbolt ethernet adapter works without issue on my rMBP with Windows 7. Did you download and install the Windows Support software? Did you refer to the Windows help regarding networking? Did you try a different adapter? What happens when you try to use Ethernet networking?
