Setting up BD Live when internet connection in another room

Hello,
Just got a Sony BD and I want to connect it to BD Live in my living room. However, my computer and internet connection are in the family room. I don't want to send a LAN cable from my router to the back of the BD player. Can anyone give me some suggestion as to how to connect to the internet on my BD player? What adapters I might need. I'm sure it's probably simpler than I thought. Thanks for your help!

I second Dave's suggestion.
As an added alternative, you may want to take this opportunity to set up a wireless home network. Especially if you own(or plan to soon buy) a laptop. This will be a more expensive approach overall, but the rewards will greater.

Setting NAT to disabled breaks internet connection

Hello when i set NAT to disabled my internet connections does not work. Why is that? When NAT is disabled what attacks do i leave my self open to? My ultimate goal is to run three xboxes with open NAT setting, how do i do this? the details of my network are below.
Modem --> WRT610n
(everything is using statis IP)
my desktop is plugged into the router via ethernet cable
Wireless devices:
3 xboxes
2 Desktops
1 laptop
we are trying to get all three xboxs running with open NAT how do i do this?

Why would you disable NAT? NAT is required to allow systems with Private IP Addresses to access the internet. For instance, if your PC has an IP Address of 192.168.1.50 it needs NAT to convert this non routable private IP address into something that is routable on the internet. NAT is designed to allow multiple systems within the private IP space to access the internet. Also, for systems that are not acting as 24/7 "Servers" why use static IP addresses? DHCP, when set up properly, eliminates user error by automatically entering the necessary information to allow workstations and game consoles to access the internet. No offense, but if you don't understand NAT and private vs. public IP addressing, you probably shouldn't be entering information into a static IP address config screen...The XBOX saying you have "Moderate" or "Strict" NAT has nothing to do with DHCP vs. Static IP.
Open NAT should work correctly if UPNP is enabled on the router. If it doesn't, you can try opening the ports like the previous responder suggested but it shouldn't be neccessary.
The router does allow for ONE IP address on your internet network to act as a "DMZ Host" which will bypass NAT and give that device unfiltered internet access but you will not be able to have 3 DMZ host devices.

How do you set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information?

Hi
I just want to know how you can set up your iphone so when you connect to another computer you have to enter a password before accessing the information? My friend connected hers to my computer and it asked for a password so I know its a function.
I have a phone password enabled so its not that, any help would be great.

The Passcode Lock prevents syncing the iPhone with iTunes or accessing any data on the iPhone when the iPhone is connected to another computer different from the computer being used for syncing the iPhone.

Why App Server Deosn't Start When Internet Connection is On

I have installed PeopleSoft FSCM 9.1 and Tootls 8.52 on my laptop and I can work with the application without any issues when internet is disconnected from my laptop (starting web server, app server, process scheduler and working with tools and application is fine) but app server doesn't start and I cannot work with application when internet connection is on. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I had the same problem on my laptop with tools 8.50. I solved it by creating an entry in my local HOSTS file that represented my local PC (ie 127.0.0.1) and then used this new hostname in all my peoplesoft configuration.
AS to why it does this.... I never investigated.... but this for me at least did clear up this issue.
good luck

Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves?

Why does Firefox keep hanging, crashing, sulking, dying when internet connection behaves? Once it renders the page it should forget about the page. Why does it behave when some link is clicked when there is no internet? It should just say internet not available or some crap. Why die, sulk, crash?? I don't get it! 3 series was much much much better!

I should add, I've re-downloaded Firefox, but that doesn't look like it has helped any. Still get seemingly inexplicable crashes.

Why does my iPhone not show up in iTunes on a mac that has a shared internet connection from another mac?

I have what I would consider a difficult question. I called Apple Care and after she spoke to a senior advisor,the representative ended up saying it wasn't possible.
Having said that, I'm sure this is not a difficult question for people with networking expertise.
Setup
So...I have a MacBook receiving a WiFi signal via AirPort.
In System Preferences, I have turned on Internet sharing (share airport over Ethernet).
I connected the Ethernet port on my MacBook to the Ethernet port on my MDD PowerMac G4.
At this point, I can successfully browse the web, perform software updates, and view other computers and iTunes libraries on my network from my G4.
Goal
However, in iTunes on my G4 I would like to use iTunes DJ.
Tried
So...I click on iTunes DJ.
I set the settings (button in bottom right) to allow guest remotes, etc.
I turned on iTunes Home Sharing (logged into the same account as by iPhone).
Problem
However, from the Remote app on my iPhone, I am unable to see the library on my G4.
Also, if I want to pair my iPhone Remote app with iTunes on my G4, I click add Library in the Remote app, but iTunes on the G4 never displays my iPhone in the left column (although I am able to see all other iTunes libraries being shared on the network).
Thus, I cannot connect to iTunes as a guest Remote, nor can I connect as paired remote.
I have successfully done both of these things with computers connected directly to my modem, as well as with computers connected via WiFi.
The problem is connecting devices to computers that get their internet connection though another computer via internet sharing.
Question
So my question is about Internet sharing itself. Is it not a fully featured ad-hoc network? Does it only provide browsing capabilities and the ability to browse networked computers, but NOT devices such as an iPhone? I don't see the difference; my iPhone is on the same network as the computers, so why is there no communication between it and computers that gain their Internet connection through another computer?
I really hope someone out there who is an expert in networking can help me out with this. Or if it truly is impossible, if someone could explain to me why that is the case, I would also appreciate it.
ps. I usually have my MacBook sharing its Internet connection through an old router that I am using as a switch because I share the connection with three other computers. And if it isn't obvious, the modem is downstairs, and the MacBook, old router being used as a switch, and other computers are upstairs where there is no Ethernet wired.
Thank you in advance for any help.

Extending a wireless internet connection to another part of a building

We have a wrt54g wireless router connected to a quest dsl modem. we now want a wireless internet connection in another part of the building which is out of range of the wrt54g. the two areas are about 200 ft apart and i can run a cat5 cable to new area. Can i install a second wrt54g in the new area and how exactly do i configure it for security and connectivity.
Thanks
Gary

Yes, you can do what you described. You can run cat5 cable if you want, but it will need to be very high quality (i.e. professional grade) cat5 cable installation to make a 200 foot connection. If you are doing this yourself, I would suggest you start with good quality cat5e cable for such a long run. And make sure the cat5e connection works before you string the cable.
You will also need to convert the second router to a WAP (wireless access point), by making a few simple setting changes.
For instructions on setting up your system, see my post at:

Firefox runs in win tak manager/processes but browser opens only when internet connection is terminated

Firefox was working wonderfully. After I uninstalled and installed two applications (Photoshop trial version and Realplayer ) simultaneously with ashampoo uninstaller, Firefox browser fails to open no matter how much I click on the icon. In the Windows Task Manager, the browser runs in the processes tab but not in the applications tab. The browser comes to life when I terminate my internet connection. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling firefox. It doesn't help.

I had the same problem and it was because of my firewall settings, which I had set to block all activity and forgot to reset it.

Whole computer freezes when Internet connects

My computer has been experiencing the beach ball of death. But only when it connects to the Internet. When the wifi is switched off and no network cable connected then it works perfectly. However when I connect to the Internet either through my iPhone hotspot or my home broadband it slows to an absolute crawl. This does not happen to other computers on the same network. I have checked the network and it seems to be fine. Can anyone help me? I can't find similar articles. I have a mac book pro on 10.8.4

Thanks Linc
I have done as you suggest. Below is me connecting my wifi and then going to Safari and then opening a webpage. During that I got the beach ball of death twice.
It seems to have I/O errors occuring at this point. From a very quick look around this seems to involve a problem with my hard drive - although this only seems to be occuring when I am connected to the internet and I don't get the ball of death othertimes...?
Can anyone help?

Weird Issues when Internet Connection not working

I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum.
This morning, my internet connection was not working (a common issue, whatever it is that requires me to restart my router. Tubes clogged, etc etc. I could ping it, but not get out). Anyways, before I restarted the router and restored internet connectivity, my machine took forever to boot and start X. During boot, it would hang at starting the CUPS daemon for a good 20-30 seconds. Then, it would eventually start and the machine would boot to agetty. I could log in fine, but when I typed 'startx' the machine would do nothing for about 5 seconds, and then X would start as per usual. Note that after issuing the startx command I got no output at all to stdout until after the delay.
Question: Why did this happen? My best guess is that on these occasions the machine was trying to connect to the outside world, and it was only after a network timeout that things went ahead as usual. But, that hardly makes any sense to me, for a couple of reasons. Why would CUPS and startx try to connect to the outside? The lag in starting CUPS was considerably longer than when issuing startx. The lag for startx did not seem long enough for a timeout. Weird. Any clarification would be helpful.

It might something wrong with the IP addressing you used when you statically set the configuration or traffic from the IP address you used is denied.
As you already have an IP config that works (Run ipconfig /all to get it) then you can simply proceed using one of these ways:
On your DHCP level, do a reservation of the IP address so that it will always be allocated to your server
or on your DHCP level, exclude the IP address of the server and set it manually on the server
More information if you contact your Network Engineer for assistance.

Mutt (IMAP) freezes when Internet connection is lost

Hi all,
I'm currently using Mutt to read my mail, which is fetched using
offlineimap from Gmail. It works fine.
I'm trying to set up the same configuration on a small
netbook. Due to hard disk space constraints I prefer not to
download the mail. Instead I'm reading it directly from the
server using Mutt's own IMAP implementation.
However, this doesn't work very well. I get frequent freezes when
I loose my wireless Internet connection. Basically, Mutt becomes
completely unresponsive and I have to suspend and kill it.
You can reproduce this behaviour by simply shutting down the
Internet connection while Mutt is communicating with the IMAP
server. It waits indefinetely and pressing any key does not have
any effect.
I've tried setting different variables to avoid freezes without
any luck. Below you can have a look at my .muttrc file. Any
suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I got rid of mutt when I realized there was no solution to get rid of the 5 second delay when launching mutt because it insisted initiating a connection instead of just launching and letting me decide when to connect to IMAP... I would go back to mutt in a heartbeat, but I guess until this is getting fixed I am staying with firefox...
I'm using offlineimap along with mutt to achieve roughly what you want and I couldn't be happier.
Besides, I'm also using notmuch (in AUR) to get super-fast Gmail-like search.
HTH,

How can i set my ipod up without internet connection? Every-time I put my network in it say "Could not find network".

My I-pod wont connect with the network, so I reset my I-pod to see if that was the problem
and now I cant set my I-pod up because my I-pod cant find the network. I cant download I-tunes
on my laptop because I have to have a password that I don't know.

Try either:
- On a computer that has iTunes and an internet connection
- Go to a different location and try connecting to another wifi network

Mail detects no connection to internet when internet connection exists?

Mail, at strange moments, brings up message that connection to internet is lost. Using the dialog box the pops up I find that the connection is fine, but everything (such as a transaction in progress) is lost. I am using an AT&T home gateway and Airport. When I connect using Ethernet hard wire, the problem does not occur. Something is amiss with Airport or Mail.

HI,
Try installing the v10.6.2 combo update available here.

It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.2

Workgroup Management stops working when internet connection is down

Our 10.5.8 XServe works perfectly fine as long as the office internet connection is working. As soon as the connection drops for more than a couple of minutes the server connection speed drops to a crawl and drops user connections. Also Workgroup Manager cant be used and the icons become inactive. As soon as the connection is back online everything works fine. We built another boot disk on a tower and it also does the same.
We've tried running DNS on the server and also using a basic DNS setup in the network settings nothing seems to fix the problem. A simple test is to run WGM with/without an internet connection (quit after each attempt) and try to add/edit users.
What are we doing wrong?
