Sharing a network connection with an Ipad2

I have a windows desktop connected to a network. I'd like to share the network connection with my Ipad while it is connected via the USB cable to the desktop. Is this possible? How?
Thanks,
Shaun

Well duh - no. I misread the question. I share the Internet connection from my iMac which is connected to the Internet via Ethernet cable to the modem.
The iPad shares my iMac's Internet connection through internet sharing. The iPad is not connected to my Mac with the USB cable. Brain clot! But is it not possible to share the connection via Internet sharing in the Windows world?
Sorry to the OP!

    I am also providing you with a screenshot of what appears! I need photos on my iPad2

    You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

  • Sharing airport network connection to an airport base station over ethernet

    Hi there,
    I've got a network connection to the internet via Airport, on my iBook G4 with OS X 10.4.9.
    This iBook is connected to the LAN port on an Airport Express base station (for physical wiring reasons, it cannot be connected to the WAN port).
    This Airport Express has a dozen other computers attached to it.
    Does anyone know how I might be able to share my internet connection, via the LAN side of the Airport Express, to all these other computers?
    Incidentally, when I turn on both the Ethernet LAN connection and the Airport internet connection, I stop being able to communicate over the internet connection. When I disable the LAN, the internet connection returns.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    It turns out that in
    System Preferences->Network->Show: Network Port Configurations
    You can change the order of the networking by dragging the Port Configurations.
    Network sharing wasn't working for me because Ethernet was above Airport, therefore Airport wasn't being used as the internet connection. Having dragged Airport above Ethernet, it is now being used for the internet, and the sharing across the Ethernet works quite soundly.

  • LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP m276nw no network connection with Linksys HUB

    Hello
    I've setup my LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP m276nw to connect to my home network using a wired connction.
    When connected directly to my router the connection initializes and successfully recieves an ip address. I've been able to access all the network function connected to my router directly either wired or wirelessly.
    I also have an old Linksys hub and when the printer is connected to the hub, it does not initialize the network connection. The hub works with every other sevice in my network, including a few game consoles and a Mac Mini.
    Is there an advance network setting I should be looking at?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    Remove any wired connection before attempting to connect via wireless.
    Print off the printers network configuration and check the settings against your routers settings.
    Ensure that router and printer are using the same frequency.
    Review this HP posted information once you have the above information in hand.
    This information might also be helpful.

  • HT1218 first generation airport extreme won't connect with my iPad2

    I have an 'old skool' airport extreme and I can't get it to connect to my ipad2.  I get the following message: "The airprort extreme named 'Apple Network ____'cannot be set up by this software. Go to apple.com/support/airport". Any ideas on what I need to do??? My computer recognizes the AirPort Extreme as well as my 1st generation iPad... Any help would be appreciated:)

    atotheb, Welcome to the discussion area!
    Did you power off the cable modem when switching the Ethernet connection from laptop to AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)? This is usually required.

  • Cannot obtain network connection with Clear modem. Is there a special trick to get beyond the blinking amber light?

    My connection follows this chain:
    Clear modem to telephone router
    telephone router to network router (in this case I am attempting to set up the AirPort Express in this place).
    so I have opened up the Airport Utility and didn't have any luck with getting the Network Connection to turn green and subsequently the AirPort Express is not completing the handshake with the network to get fully connected.
    I've gone back to a Netgear router in the meantime and that gets the conection right away. I have only Mac computers connecting to the router and one Epson printer that will connect wirelessly.
    Any advice or experiences with this setup would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I got the support I needed directly from Apple. It turnsout to have had zero to do with Clear. I had named the new AirPort network the same as the previous network and we concluded that it was making the new settings confused. I did a hard reset, renamed the network to a completely unique name and we were off and running. Thanks Apple!

  • Using Juniper Network Connect with Lion

    Has anyone had an luck using Network Connect to connect to a Juniper VPN with Lion? When I try to connect to secure network using Safari, Network Connect does not install and launch.

    What version of Juniper are you folks running?  We are still on 6.x (I'll have to check on what X is, I think its 5)
    I enabled the java "enable applet plug-in and web sstart applications" and it still gets stuck on our host checker screen.   I set the developer Safari 5.0.6 and it actually gets past host checker, but does not present an option for network connect.
    This tells me that host checker is running but no longer seeing what it needs to see (?) for the network connect option to be presented.   I was told by Juniper that an update needs to happen but it won't be availble until September.
    Can someone verify they can actually get a network connect session working using Lion and safari 5.1 and how they got it to work, and what version of Juniper they are on? 
    If we need to get to 7.x we can do it on a test box but moving production there will take a good long time.   We *just* enabled the Mac VPN service at our company, and now those upgrading to Lion are finding themselves once again without VPN capabilities.    This is a real problem as we don't control weather they upgrade or not, and everyone wants to get to the latest OS.
    Juniper is on its last legs at our company.  This is probably the straw... they should have had this tested by now.

  • Sharing an internet connection with Airport express and Time Capsule

    Hi, I have been happily using a cable modem and a Time Capsule for my internet connection and wireless network. We recently added solar panels to our roof and the system needs to be connected to the internet so it can be monitored remotely. Calling Comcast is an exercise in frustration, and the solar people don't seem to know exactly how to do it, so I'm trying this.
    We bought an Airport Express, thinking if it is connected with an ethernet cable to the solar system, it could somehow share the internet connection with the Time Capsule, or they could talk to each other. When I plug in the Airport Express, the only set-up option seems to be to set up a new network, which I don't think I want to do. Can anyone tell me how to set this up? Thank you!

    Hi, Under Water.
    You should configure the Express to "Join a wireless network" or to "Extend a wireless network". (Either one will work.)
    Connect your computer to your Express via Ethernet and open AirPort Utility. Press "Manual Setup" and authenticate if necessary.
    Go to the "Base Station" tab. Give the Express a name and password.
    Go to the "Wireless" tab. Set the Wireless mode to "Join a wireless network" or "Extend a wireless network." Enter the name of the wireless network created by your Time Capsule (or select it from the list). Check the box that says "Allow Ethernet clients" (if you're joining) or "Allow Wireless Clients" (if you're extending).
    Provide the appropriate security mode and password for the Time Capsule's network.
    Press "Update" and allow your Express to restart.
    Then you can plug the solar system into the Express's Ethernet port.

  • Difficulty syncing and sharing 3G/GPRS connection with NokiaN75 post 10.5.2

    Prior to 10.5.2 (Feb. '08) I was easily able to use isync and share my Nokia's 3G/GPRS connection with the MacBook Pro. Whenever I needed to access the Internet or check my email, I could easily and simply establish the connection with the phone via Bluetooth and use the phone's access to the Internet. While not blazing fast, it was quicker than dial up and worked well when traveling and when you didn't want to pay $12.95 for 24 hour access...
    Since 10.5.2 I believe, I have had difficulty syncing - I get error messages saying that the synchronization failed. I can no longer connect and share the 3G connection, - an error message about PPP...Can anyone suggest a work around or perhaps Apple's engineering can put in a fix in 10.5.3??? Downloading the isync plug in from Nokia had no benefit...Thank you in advance...

    Actually I was answering Paul who does have an iMac but it doesn't matter one way or the other - the same answer applies. Odd that you have the same settings in security and sharing but it doesn't work in one direction. Are you sure you are using the right password? Have you attempted sharing with a different account on that computer?

  • Tcpip.sys related BSOD in Vista at either wifi/ ethernet network connection with my university

    Dear all,
    laptop:: Lenovo X61s 3G L7700
    OS version: windows Vista business Sp1
    tcpip.sys version: 6.0.6001.22167
    wifi: Intel 4965AGN. Standard Gigabyte intel ethernet 82566MM
    system drivers and BIOS are the most updated driver.
    At my 2 homes using ADSL routers, there are absolutely no problems with network connection by wifi or ethernet. However, blue screen occurs when I bring this laptop to university and connect to the network via either ethernet or wifi. This happened to me a few months back. It crashed EVERY TIME when a network connection was attempted. It did not matter whether I updated my drivers on both wifi or ethernet cards. Whenever I bring it to either of my2 homes, no blue screen ever occurs.
    It also happens when I attempt to connect to free wifi network in the airport. It crashes again with EXACTLY the same problem. I have to admit that I do not even where to start looking for the problems. System restore did not solve this either. I ran the WinBug analysis. It pointed towards tcpip.sys. My sys ver is at the top of this message.
    Would appreciate if someone can point this to the right direction. I am seriously thinking of downgrading this to XP, since it had NEVER happened to XP.
    thanks,
    VIncent

    UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP_M (1000007f)
    This means a trap occurred in kernel mode, and it's a trap of a kind
    that the kernel isn't allowed to have/catch (bound trap) or that
    is always instant death (double fault).  The first number in the
    bugcheck params is the number of the trap (8 = double fault, etc)
    Consult an Intel x86 family manual to learn more about what these
    traps are. Here is a *portion* of those codes:
    If kv shows a taskGate
            use .tss on the part before the colon, then kv.
    Else if kv shows a trapframe
            use .trap on that value
    Else
            .trap on the appropriate frame will show where the trap was taken
            (on x86, this will be the ebp that goes with the procedure KiTrap)

    "When my ATV is connected via ethernet, and I attempt to play some internet radio stations, some will work just fine while others won't.  For example, when connected to my home network via ethernet, some internet radio channels (I can't give a percentage because I haven't tested all of them) will play just fine, however, others won't.  The ATV will attempt to connect, but the spinning progress bar just goes and goes and goes until it eventually errors out (no error number is provided, it just says that there was trouble loading the content).  The funny thing (or not so funny thing actually) is that if I unplug the ethernet cable, and connect my ATV to the network via wifi, those same stations that didn't play when ATV was connected via ethernet, WILL play when ATV is connected via wifi.  So, in short, some stations play just fine when ATV is connected to home network, through wireless router, via either wifi OR ethernet, yet some will only play when ATV is connected to home network via wifi.  I have found this to be the same when it comes to downloading or refreshing the photos in my photo stream.  If I throw new photos in my photo stream on iCloud, and the ATV is connected via ethernet, they won't refresh to the ATV, however, if I unplug the ATV and connect via wifi they begin to refresh."
    There are dozens of original threads out there that report of similar - if not exact, issues.  I have contacted "Roy" per his request and not heard back from him (if such a person exists).  I have "restored" my ATV and rebooted all equipment to no avail.  Until Apple gets with it, acknowledges their problem, and fixes it, I am resigned to just having to deal with switching back and forth from wifi to ethernet, and so on.   

  • Setting up remote network connection with wrt1900ac nubby question

    Hi everyone, I am looking to set up remote network connection = been able to be on my network from public place. I have never done it before and i just purchased wrt1900ac and i was wondering if someone can point me to a step by step guidance how to do so. I also obtain static IP address from my internet provider. thank you in advance. I will be connecting with notebook with windows 7 on it

    Typically to access LAN devices directly on a remote network you would VPN into the remote network. Either using Port Forwarding and a VPN Server or using a VPN feature built into the router.
    This is assuming you don't plan to use something like Logmein or Gotomypc.
    Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

  • Network connection with Microsoft 8.1

    I am having problems connecting to the internet. I just bought a desktop with 8.1 already installed onto it. I tried connecting with a ethernet cable and that didn't work and there is nowhere to choose a wifi network. I am not very tech savvy so any information
    will be helpful. Thanks

    Hi,
    For the wired connection, first, please check whether the configuration for the wired connection is fine, I mean the modem\router\outside cable, etc. Try another device to test the connection.
    If the connetion is fine, then we can focuse on Windows 8.1, run the troubleshooter and see if it can detect something, Action Center\Troubleshooting\Network and Internet.
    Please also check the device status under Device Manager\Network Adapter, to launch Device Manager, you can type "device manager" in the right search charm bar.
    Please make sure to keep the latest driver for network adapter.
    Regarding to the wireless connection, some desktop PCs do not have this feature, contact the PC vender for confirmation.

  • Why do I lose network connection with my standalone networked printer and have to reinstall it

    I have a Laser Jet MFP M1530 printer that loses connection with the network. All the computers on the network have to delete the old configuration of the printer and reinstall it prior to it working. The printer is in a standalone configuration. Everything else on the network continues to work.

    The Laser Jet MFP M1530 is a commercial product. I suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support for a better chance at finding a solution.
    You may find the Laserjet board here.

  • Unreliable Network Connection with Windows

    Hi,
    I am using a Macbook Pro with Mac OSX Mavericks.
    I have shared a few folders on my Macbook over the network so they can be accessed by another computer running Windows 7 Pro. The Macbook is connected to my home network using an ethernet cable via a hub.
    I am unable to reliably copy *any* files from Windows to my Macbook.
    Any attempt to copy a folder containing more than a few hundred files invariably results in the Macbook's network folder becoming disconnected (and therefore unreadable) briefly, cancelling the whole operation.
    This was always pretty unreliable on Mac OSX Mountain Lion, but has since become even worse since I upgraded to Mavericks.
    Does anyone else have this problem? How do you reliably share files over your network?

    Home Edition or Home Premium?
    The Apple SETUP drivers on your OEM DVD (Boot Camp 3.0.x) should enable network and seems that is fine.
    The only AV you need, and you do need, is MS Security Essentials. I wouldn't bother with anything else, or any free or commercial suite or firewall.
    PCs have had trouble too, with lost connections after resuming from sleep.
    Is this wired or wireless?
    How about the modem, router, etc. setup and configurations?
    Uninstall the device driver and let Windows install its own.
    You can always use Device Manager to "rollback" a driver; you have more options and flexible with Windows in that regard than OS X ever had, so you can test and try out different driver. Just look for current network adapter driver. And no, I'd think there is Windows 7 or Windows Vista/7 bundle (installer or zip package).
    And if it is the BASIC Windows 7 then I'd also consider upgrade to Home Premium.
