Setting up a second network

I presently have a Time Capsule set up to allow a various electronic devices online. I took the time to set it up so that it is as secure as I can get it. One machine uses the Time Machine feature (actually two but they tend to interfere with one another so I've turned the second machine backup feature off). There is also an old AirPort Express that extends the network. The older TC is a 2nd generation 500 GB model. I just purchased a new 2 TB model.
Questions:
Is the newer model faster? Does the newer model make the network faster or does it just have more space?
Is it better to replace the older model or add the new model to the existing network?
Can the new model handle two or three machines backing up to it without issue?
Is it possible to put an entire iTunes library on the TC and let all devices access the library instead of having it in one account, on one machine, that needs to be on always, so others can access it?
Thank you for your help.

I won't try to answer all your questions, but here are some thoughts: The newest Time Capsule is said to have better/more antennas, which should improve wireless performance. For example, see this Web page.

I suppose you could do either.

As described in item #3 of this post, it's not a good idea to share the internal disk of a Time Capsule with content from Time Machine and other things.

Setting Up a Second Network Interface.

Hi All,
I am really quite new to Solaris and UltraSpac 10's, so please keep that in mind when responding. (newbie):D
I have a Sun Ultra 10 which appears to have to ethernet ports. One of which I believe looks to be intergrated to the motherboard and the other whcih looks to be attached to a PCI slot.
Executing the "prtconf" command shows:
SUNW, Ultra-5-10

When I boot the system I see the likes of:

WARNING: hme0: No response from Ethernet network : Link down -- cable problem?
I can't see a hme1 or anything, is what I am seeing at the back of this Ultra10 box an ethernet port of a NIC?
How can get the (either/or both) NIC to work?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
If you need anymore info, please let me know and I will gladly provide it.
Regards.
UPDATE:
Sorry,
I don't know what I have done,
but it appears I have a "hme1" in the "Connection Properties" and in ifconfig -a?
Still appears to be disconnected though.

Hi, Everyone.
Just had a resolution to my problem.
It seems the Network at my workplace has some funny switches.
I used an extra switch between work switch and solaris box and it seems to be all working well.
Thanks for all your help

How do I set up a second home network that bypasses Open DNS?

I have been having trouble downloading and streaming itunes content because I use Open DNS on my network.
There have been many posts about disabling Open DNS to solve the problem but if I do that, my internet filter goes away.
I would rather set up a second network that bypasses Open DNS and use it only for my Apple TV.
Is this possible and if so, how do I do it?
I have airport extreme base station with a second airport to extend the range, mac desktop, mac laptop, ATV, several iphones and ipads.
I'm running OS X 10.7.5.
Thanks in advance!

Are you suggesting that I go into my Airport router settings and just blank out the DNS settings and then reboot it?
Yes, exactly. You can always input those addresses again, if it does not solve the problem.
OpenDNS may offer some advantages over your whatever your ISP uses for DNS but optimizing download speed is not one of them.
Maybe I have jumped to the conclusion that Open DNS is the problem when maybe it isn't.
It is possible. As I understand it, Apple's servers attempt to use a location near you to deliver iTunes content, and OpenDNS may result in pointing it to a less ideal location.
3 hours may or may not be normal for HD movie. The download speed depends on a number of factors that are difficult to surmise without knowing details about your network and your ISP.

+You may have already done this, but do you have the first AirPort Express configured to "Allow this network to be extended"?+
Could not find that setting anywhere.
It's in AirPort Utility, AirPort panel, Wireless tab.
When I'm within the range of the base station I connect normally, but further away the connection drops despite the fact that the other Airport is very close and light is green. Interestingly, my PB Pro has signal almost everywhere in the house, but my iPhone and Mac Mini don't. Most likely just a hardware difference?
In AirPort Utility with the second Express, in the AirPort panel, Wireless tab, have you checked "Allow wireless clients"?
The second AP does show an IP address: 10.0.1.3.
With a "Configure IPv4" setting of "Using DHCP", that suggests that the second Express really is connecting to the first Express. In that case I have no other explanation of your your problem.

Setting up a second computer to our wireless printer, may I use a different network

I want to set up a second computer on the wireless printer but do not want to use my personal network, but would like to use the guest network. May I do this? And how

Simple answer, no, you cannot do this. Two reasons:
1. The guest network will not, in any way, talk to your personal network.
2. Most guest networks insist on isolating clients from each other on the guest network (unless you know otherwise).
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Setting up a second Airport network

Is it possible to use the ethernet network switch on Airport extreme to plug in another Airport device to create multiple wireless networks, or do I have to have separate cable modems to set up a whole new network?

A few things:
Configure each base station connected to the Ethernet switch as a Bridge, i.e., Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Make sure that you provide sufficient channel separation between each base station to prevent Wi-Fi interference between wireless networks. This is especially important for base stations that are near each other.
If you want all of the wireless networks to have the same Network Name or SSID, then please check out this Apple Support article on setting up a roaming network.

How can I set up a wireless network between two Mac Mini's (media centres)?

I've just received my second mac mini (core duo, 1.83, 1 Gb ram)and want to set up a wireless network to link this with my original mac mini (PPC 1.42, 512MB) and my Belkin wireless router (g std).
I'm using both as media centres in different rooms and want to keep all my media (films, photo's, music etc.) on one mini (connected to a 640GB external drive) and access it over the wireless network. Sort of a more felxible Apple TV setup??
I've got the wireless network working no problems with both mini's connected to the internet over the network but I'm stuck at how I get the two mini's to see each other. I've tried "the Missing Manual" and these forums but no success so far.
I know it can be done but would really appreciate any suggestions/directions on what to do?
Thanks in advance<<br>

Advice on how i can set up an office network with 40 computers.

I am planning on setting up an office network with 40 computers. What do you think is the best way i can do this? Thank you in advance.

Your first step should be to call an IT professional who has experience with this type of thing. He will need to survey the entire area and ask you dozens of questions about how you want things to operate. Then, he will present you with a proposal for the network listing all of the things that the system can and and cannot do.
Your second step would be to call another IT professional who has experience with this type of thing and go through the same procedure.
Your third step would be the same as the first and second.
Your fourth step would be to check the references provided in the steps 1-3 and then decide on which professional that you want to use.

Cannot route to second network

All pc's and servers use PIX as default gateway (10.133.6.10)
We have a second network/IP line and provider (10.1.0.0)that some pc's will need access to.
I've tried setting a static route to this network on the PIX and can ping it from the PIX but not pc's/servers, unless I change default gw (10.133.1.1) on pc's.
PIX config attached

classic problem.
you are pointing the pc's to the pix as their default gateway right? Pix will not route traffic back through an interface from which it receievd the packet.
You might be able to do a couple of things here.
Depending on the software and hw version, you could run dot1q trunk on the pix to cerate a vlan for other network and that may solve the issue or just point the machines to the other default gateway and have that router have a default route pointing to the pix.

Setting up a wireless network with windows XP PC

I may be getting a mac computer later this year & would like to know how to set up a wireless network between the mac & a windows XP PC. The PC has a DSL modem attached to it with a yellow line going from modem to PC & another Grey line going from the modem to the back of a phone in our kitchen. Our house is fairly big, it is one story but the rooms are sprawled out with a lot of clutter. I would like to have reliable internet access on my mac, & if it is a macbook pro I would like to be able to get to the internet throughout the house. The most important thing is stable reliable internet access as I am taking online classes. I would probably take the macbook pro into a bedroom or other adjacent room. The bedroom is further away, through 2 or 3 walls. The Adjacent rooms is one wall way.
I know this seems very basic, but I need a lot of help with this as I have never used a mac before (have been a windows user) & have never used more than just the one PC in the house, let alone a wireless network.
my mother along with I are both taking online classes, so sometimes there is competition for the the 1 computer & with my graphic design degree a mac has been recommended to me. So we are finding it would be easier to have more than one computer in the house so we can access our classes anytime.
So anyone, can this be done without breaking the bank?

I'm guessing that Modem was provided by your Internet Service Provider ?
They are the best people to talk to about upgrading that Modem to a Wireless one.
Usually if you're running a modem and phone from the same DSL line there's a small splitter box that plugs into the phone socket and then one wire connects your modem and another your phone. Picture below - if you do have one of these then post back and we can give better advice on a wireless modem to replace your current one.

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked. What am I doing wrong?

I have set up a second iTunes user account on my PC, but when I create the new iTunes account it copies the music, videos etc from the original account and they seem to be linked, so that when I delete a song from one library it deletes from the other one.
On the online tutorials I've seen it shows that when you create a new iTunes library it should open as a blank account, but that isn't happening.
What am I doing wrong?

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.
