Sharing printer with wired and wireless computers

I am sure there's a topic about this somewhere, but I can't seem to find a clear answer. I have a PowerMac G4 that does not have wireless capabilites. I have a PowerBook G4 that does, and an Airport Express that makes everything possible. Last night I went to hook my laser printer up to the Airport Express. Everything went smoothly, but now I cannot print from my PowerMac. Is there a way that I can set this all up so both computers can use the printer without having to buy an Airport card for the PowerMac?
Right now the printer is connected to the Airport Express which is connected to my router. The PowerMac is also connected to the router.
Sorry that I am so clueless about this. Networking baffles me.

Go to Airport Admin and uncheck "Distribute IP Addresses." With both a router and an Airport Express, you have created two separate networks - turning off part of that brings it back to one. (You may need to restart the Macs)

Sharing iTunes between wired and wireless Macs

Hi,
I have a Mac laptop connected wirelessly to an Airport Express -- which is wired to a desktop Mac Mini. I'm trying to share music but cannot. I've done all the proper settings in the iTunes preferences and the same in System Preferences -- I think -- on both computers, but on neither computer is anything showing in the Sources window. It says that there are no users online.
Is there something in the System Preferences box that I'm missing? Should I turn the firewall off (I shouldn't need to, since I've checked the iTunes Sharing box)? Is the main problem here that you can't share music between a wired and wireless computer? (This would be a bit strange to me, but you never know.)
One other thing. I was trying out the network and I can only get access to the wired Mini's Public folder as a Guest, not as a Registered User. Is there something very badly wrong here?
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Thanks for the rapid response. All of those preferences, however, are already set properly (i.e., as you said) on both computers. When I try to go to the Network, I can access the wired desktop Mini's hard drive, but when I try to do it on the mini to get into the laptop's it can't find the afp. It just keeps searching but then says it doesn't exist. Not sure if this network-connectivity problem is relevant or not for this particular issue of iTunes sharing. Grateful for any advice.

Wired and wireless computers on the same network?

Here’s the scenario: I’ve got Verizon FIOS which comes with a modem with four Ethernet ports. I have an Airport Extreme plugged into the modem. There are six macs in the house (three desktops and three laptops) and they can all connect wirelessly although the signal fades in the living room and in my son’s room. I decided to run an Ethernet cable from the modem to the G5 that is in the living room and another one to my son’s room. Everything works fine but the “wired” computers are now no longer on the same network.
(At first I thought it was neat: if I was near the G5 and the signal from the Airport Extreme was weak, I could just hop onto the G5’s network (which has “Internet sharing” via airport enabled) but it’s become a nuisance because we always seem to be needing to change from one network to another: The computer connected to the printers is on Airport Extreme so I can’t print from the G5 unless I change the settings; if we’re in the bedroom connected to the Internet via the AirPort Extreme, we can’t access our iTunes music from the G5 without switching networks.)
I don’t know if there is a solution but it seems there should be.
I’d like to have two computers hard-wired and have all of them be part of the same home network. Is that possible?

The solution is simple. Configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.
This will disable the AEBS's DHCP server and NAT. The net effect will be that anything connected to the AEBS's WAN port (anything connected to Verizon's router's LAN ports like your Ethernet computers) on the same subnet as the AEBS's LAN and wireless clients.

Networking Wired and Wireless Computers

I must write before I need Rogaine for the bald patches where I've pulled out my hair. I've read everything I can find about setting up wired/wireless home networks, and there is obviously something I don't grasp.
Here is my current setup:
My 'main computer' is my desktop PC running Win XP, and connected via Ethernet to a Westell 6100 modem. It has no wireless adaptor.
I have a WRT54G Linksys router. I want to be able to run two notebooks (running XP, with the necessary wireless adaptors) wirelessly. Is this even possible with the main computer being a wired computer?
If so, do I run the Linksys setup CD on the main computer first even though it has no wireless adaptor? Or do I run the setup software only on the notebooks?
Additionally, when a wireless network is successfully set up, and an Internet connection ultimately established, must there be at least one Ethernet cable still connected to the Linksys router?
Thank you for reading this post, and I appreciate your tolerance of my ignorance.

To answer that. Yes you need to have at least one wired PC to be able to configure your router. You can access/configure it manually by opening your browser and typing in http://192.168.1.1 (or what ever IP the router is set to) and hit enter. That will bring up the routers log on window. By default the user is left blank (some routers the user is admin) and the password is admin. If the password has been set to something else(as it should be for security reasons) then use that password. When you access your router make sure you set the SSID to something other then linksys so you can identify your wireless network and configure what ever security you need. If you configure any security write it down so when you connect your wireless computers to your SSID (wireless network) you can enter the settings exactly as they are in the router.

Can i use home sharing while mixing wired and wireless connections?

I have an HP Pavilion desktop connected to my wireless router with an Ethernet cable. My AppleTV is connected wirelessly to the 5GHz band on my simultaneous dual-band wireless-N router. How do I share photos and music from the HP desktop to the AppleTV using Home Sharing?

Computer C (Wireless router connection)) can see computer B's (Wired switch Connection) music library.
Apple TV can see computer B and C.
The problem is that computer A Is the music computer That I want to stream throughout.
If computer A and B can see each other, and computer C and AppleTV can see computer B, then why can't everyone see computer A ?
Any response appreciated.
What version of iTunes is the Computer A running - it may not support Home Sharing.

Trouble with wired and wireless home network

I recently installed a WTR54GS with my desktop wired to it and my laptop wireless. My laptop can get to the internet (router is attached to a cable modem) but it can not see shared files on the desktop or the printer that is attached to the desktop. However, the desktop can see the shared file folder on the laptop. I can not seem to correct this. Latest error message I got was Microsoft 871122, something about wireless zero configuration. I'm about ready to go back to my old USR router that worked fine, except that it lost its IP address periodically. Any advice?

It could be a bunch of things. I am guessing you added the wireless laptop after the desk top. The best place to start is on your desktop. Right click on your shared folder. From the dropdown menu select sharing and security. From there it gives you several options as well as more info...including your firewall settings. Do the same thing on your desktop using Control Panal and the printers and fax icon right click on your printer. You might also check to see if your LAN or Worgroup match between the two puters. You can make it work no matter, but might find it easier if they are the same. Do this by right clicking on My Computer, choose properties on the dropdown choose the computer name tab. It will give you an option to change the settings...That is a basic start...the wireless 0 connection error your are getting implies that you let microsoft setup on your wireless adapter settings on your laptop. This can be disabled. I avoid using the micorsoft stuff for setup for your wireless adapter. Just my prefrence. That is with one exception and unless you are Windows Registry Hexpert, I won.t get into that.
Anyway a possiable start.

Can i run my printer with ethernet and wireless simultaneously?

HP OfficeJet 6700
Mac OS and Windows XP
I am trying to print to this printer wirelessly while it is connected to an ethernet network. Is that possible? We want to be able to print company reports from the Point of Sales system (hence the ethernet) but we also want to be able to print documents and emails from our laptops (wirelessly).
One of us has a Dell laptop running Windows XP, the other has a MacBook Pro.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can use LAN cable to connect your printer to a wireless router and use the printer wirelessly in your home network.

Itunes not connecting via airplay on wired and wireless network

I have some computers on the wired part of my network, and others on wireless. My appletv2 shows in itunes on ALL (both wired and wireless) computers that there exists an AppleTv airplay speaker, but only the computers on the same "side" of the network (wired, or wireless) can actually connect and use the appletv as an airplay device. I have Bell Fibe25 and they provide 2 devices to achieve wireless connectivity, the main VDSL unit that has 4 lan ports on the back, and a basic Cisco WAP610N that connects into one of the lan ports on the VDSL unit for the wireless part.
My firewall is turned off as well.
Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening? My MacPro does not have wireless, and it would not be practical to connect my AppleTV2 to Ethernet cable.
Thanks in advance,
S

I have Windows 7 and the same resolution fixed my problem but you do it in a slightly different way:
Open Control Panel.
Network and Internet
Network and Sharing Center
On the left menu bar select "Change adapter Settings"
Right Click on Network Adapter (Might be Wireless or Wired or change Both) select Properties
Under "The connection uses the following items:" UNCHECK - Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
Click OK
Restart Itunes and refresh Connection!

Problems sharing internet with iptables and dnsmasq

I followed this exactly: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Internet_Share
And here is my dnsmasq.conf
# Configuration file for dnsmasq.
# Format is one option per line, legal options are the same
# as the long options legal on the command line. See
# "/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --help" or "man 8 dnsmasq" for details.
# The following two options make you a better netizen, since they
# tell dnsmasq to filter out queries which the public DNS cannot
# answer, and which load the servers (especially the root servers)
# uneccessarily. If you have a dial-on-demand link they also stop
# these requests from bringing up the link uneccessarily.
# Never forward plain names (without a dot or domain part)
#domain-needed
# Never forward addresses in the non-routed address spaces.
#bogus-priv
# Uncomment this to filter useless windows-originated DNS requests
# which can trigger dial-on-demand links needlessly.
# Note that (amongst other things) this blocks all SRV requests,
# so don't use it if you use eg Kerberos, SIP, XMMP or Google-talk.
# This option only affects forwarding, SRV records originating for
# dnsmasq (via srv-host= lines) are not suppressed by it.
#filterwin2k
# Change this line if you want dns to get its upstream servers from
# somewhere other that /etc/resolv.conf
#resolv-file=
# By default, dnsmasq will send queries to any of the upstream
# servers it knows about and tries to favour servers to are known
# to be up. Uncommenting this forces dnsmasq to try each query
# with each server strictly in the order they appear in
# /etc/resolv.conf
#strict-order
# If you don't want dnsmasq to read /etc/resolv.conf or any other
# file, getting its servers from this file instead (see below), then
# uncomment this.
#no-resolv
# If you don't want dnsmasq to poll /etc/resolv.conf or other resolv
# files for changes and re-read them then uncomment this.
#no-poll
# Add other name servers here, with domain specs if they are for
# non-public domains.
#server=/localnet/192.168.0.1
# Example of routing PTR queries to nameservers: this will send all
# address->name queries for 192.168.3/24 to nameserver 10.1.2.3
#server=/3.168.192.in-addr.arpa/10.1.2.3
# Add local-only domains here, queries in these domains are answered
# from /etc/hosts or DHCP only.
#local=/localnet/
# Add domains which you want to force to an IP address here.
# The example below send any host in doubleclick.net to a local
# webserver.
#address=/doubleclick.net/127.0.0.1
# --address (and --server) work with IPv6 addresses too.
#address=/www.thekelleys.org.uk/fe80::20d:60ff:fe36:f83
# You can control how dnsmasq talks to a server: this forces
# queries to 10.1.2.3 to be routed via eth1
# --server=10.1.2.3@eth1
# and this sets the source (ie local) address used to talk to
# 10.1.2.3 to 192.168.1.1 port 55 (there must be a interface with that
# IP on the machine, obviously).
# [email protected]#55
# If you want dnsmasq to change uid and gid to something other
# than root, you will need to have CONFIG_SECURITY_CAPABILITIES
# enabled in your kernel. The default uid and gid of nobody will
# be used if capability is available and this is not set.
#user=
#group=
# If you want dnsmasq to listen for DHCP and DNS requests only on
# specified interfaces (and the loopback) give the name of the
# interface (eg eth0) here.
# Repeat the line for more than one interface.
interface=eth0
# Or you can specify which interface _not_ to listen on
#except-interface=
# Or which to listen on by address (remember to include 127.0.0.1 if
# you use this.)
#listen-address=
# If you want dnsmasq to provide only DNS service on an interface,
# configure it as shown above, and then use the following line to
# disable DHCP on it.
#no-dhcp-interface=
# On systems which support it, dnsmasq binds the wildcard address,
# even when it is listening on only some interfaces. It then discards
# requests that it shouldn't reply to. This has the advantage of
# working even when interfaces come and go and change address. If you
# want dnsmasq to really bind only the interfaces it is listening on,
# uncomment this option. About the only time you may need this is when
# running another nameserver on the same machine.
bind-interfaces
# If you don't want dnsmasq to read /etc/hosts, uncomment the
# following line.
#no-hosts
# or if you want it to read another file, as well as /etc/hosts, use
# this.
#addn-hosts=/etc/banner_add_hosts
# Set this (and domain: see below) if you want to have a domain
# automatically added to simple names in a hosts-file.
#expand-hosts
# Set the domain for dnsmasq. this is optional, but if it is set, it
# does the following things.
# 1) Allows DHCP hosts to have fully qualified domain names, as long
# as the domain part matches this setting.
# 2) Sets the "domain" DHCP option thereby potentially setting the
# domain of all systems configured by DHCP
# 3) Provides the domain part for "expand-hosts"
#domain=thekelleys.org.uk
# Set a different domain for a particular subnet
#domain=wireless.thekelleys.org.uk,192.168.2.0/24
# Same idea, but range rather then subnet
#domain=reserved.thekelleys.org.uk,192.68.3.100,192.168.3.200
# Uncomment this to enable the integrated DHCP server, you need

Problems with hp laser printing in leopard- wired and wireless

Printing problems in Leopard are slowly eating away at my last nerve!
Here's the background: I have a Macbook Pro 2.33GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB ram, running 10.5.2. Ever since I upgraded to Leopard, I've been having printing problems, both wired and wireless. I have an HP Laserjet 1160, which is a wonderfully reliable printer- I've had it since 2005 and have never had a problem.
When I installed Leopard, I began getting a popup message after starting up my computer and logging in. The message has a lighthouse icon on it and reads:
"Popup Error: Failed to listen for incoming Popup jobs. You will not be able to use Popup printing for the duration of this session. Please report this incident to a system administrator."
(for the record, I only have one computer, it's not on any system, and I have the administrator account)
Here are the two problems I have:
-First, wired printing is spotty. Half of the time, when I connect the USB cable and click print, nothing prints. Usually, if I unplug the cable and plug it into the other USB port, then printing works. This is in spite of the fact that the computer recognizes that the printer is there- I can delete then re-add the printer to my printer list and still nothing.
-Second, wireless printing does not work at all. Again, the printer is recognized when plugged in to either the time capsule or the airport express, and I can add the printer, but printing doesn't work: the job is sent to the print queue, but the queue stalls on the "connecting to printer" phase.
This problem is a huge pain, and I have no idea how to solve it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for posting this problem Cathjock. I have had the same issue with a NEC Superscript 1400. Thinking it wast he printer, which is getting up there in age, I went out and purchased a new HP P1505 to no avail. I have been researching this for a few days now and think that all of this is related to a user permission in CUPS. I have de-installed, re-installed, re-booted etc as prescribed and got three pages hours after the fact via my Airport Express connected new printer. Generally, however, nothing comes out immediately as was the case in the past either on Airport Express or via USB cable. I am stumped and am starting to get worried.
I can't print invoices for my business and am considering firing up my old Windows machine if you can believe it !
Seriously, Apple has created a monstrous situation with all of htese printing issues and nothing is apparently being done, nothing that I can find in any of the discussion forums at this time.
My last option is to re-install 10.5 with an archive and install as I really cannot afford to start from scratch.
Now if you look at this forum, there are 242,847 views logged with 2,514 questions and 13,848 messages.
This should mean something for Apple as many people need help and are getting really really ******-off.
So pleeeeaaaaase Apple. respond and offer a fix for this problem that is plaguing a ton of people.

Help with HP Laser CM1415fnw wired and wireless setup

Hello all,
I am have have trouble with both wired and wireless. It will only let me do one or the other. Is there a way i can do both?
everything works if i am wired or wireless but, the user wants to be able to use both.
Any help would be great.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sorry, both cannot be enabled by design. That said, devices on a network do not care how others are connected. You can print from a wireless connection to a wired (Ethernet) printer and v/v.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

I have an existing new belkin modem router which works fine with quiet a few wired and wireless products in my house. My question is if i buy a time capsule can i put it in another room and wirelessly connect it to the belkin modem router, I would then just like my macbook pro and (imac future purchase) to wirelessly back up to it???????????

Your will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the TIme Capsule to clear out the current network settings and then reconfigure it to "join" your wireless network using the AirPort Utility setup application.
To perform the Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule....
Pull the power cord from the back of the device
Wait a few moments
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule and keep holding it an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power cord back in to the Time Capsule
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 25-30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
On your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Continue
Follow the guided setup and choose the "join" option when it appears duriing the setup
You will need to know the exact type of wireless security that the Belkin router is using to enter this information during the setup of the Belkin. Otherwise, the Time Capsule cannot join the network, and you will receive an error message after the configuration process.

File sharing problems with T500 and T410 and a desktop all running XP Pro SP3

Others have had similar problems with what appears to be an overriding of Windows file sharing by Access Connections.
My three computers, printers and internet modem are networked and working fine both wired and wirelessly except that while the desktop computer in network places can "see" shared folders on the Thinkpads, access to them is denied. Access to desktop shared folders from the Thinkpads works fine.
All the usual sharing settings have been checked and verified by Microsoft support; it does not so far have a solution.
Could this issue please be addressed more thoroughly and/or suitable documentation referenced? I have read the blurb about Access Connections but can't make a lot of sense of it.
Thanks

A very strange wired and wireless network issue

Hello,
I have never had any issue at all with my macbook (2008) until this week, I use it both for work and personal use.
Most of time, I'm used to be on customer site, so I use wired and wireless connections depending of the situation....
I have never had any issue at all with wifi neither ethernet connections during three years, until this week... and I can say this is the most strange thing I have ever seen....
Using wired or wireless connection, always the speed of network was really good, at home, many customers, etc never had any problem...
But this week I'm currently out of home, and the hotel where I'm staying I'm having very poor network rate....
Using wireless connection, the download speed is no more than 10kb.... and using ethernet I get less speed... but during the day I'm on customer site, using the ethernet connection and download speed is really good, more than 500k-800k....
I have already tried in the hotel few wifi connections (there are three) and differents wired connections (in diferent rooms) and the download speed is always the same, no more than 10kb...
During this afternoon, I could go into hotel's lab and could connect directly to the router using cable, same speed no more than 10kb....
The most strange thing is on their computers the download speed using wired connection is around 6Mb....
how is possible I'm getting no more than 10kb of download speed when the pc's at hotel using same wired connection gets 6Mb?
I have already deleted current network connections, execute onyx to clear everything, perform dhcp connection, tried manual ip etc, and always the results are the same...
I know there is no problem with the macbook, because it works pretty good at every location I've been... but until this week...
Sincerely I'm getting a little crazy here, I'll appreciate any help!!!
thanks in advance

I've seen something like this on my T400 when it was running Vista. Now that I use Win 7 it's been OK. I rather doubt that your issue is the same but I'm tossing it out here just on the off chance.
Im my case, I had to downgrade my Intel 5300 card to a 5100 (as suggested by a Lenovo 2nd-tier tech) to get things working.
My symptoms were a little different. Wifi was fine until I went back to a wired network. After that, trying to use the same wifi AP as before would end up associated, but no internet access. DHCP wasn't working. The GUI "find" app didn't work as expected either. Some APs showed up, and some didn't.
If I configured for automatic connection to my home AP it would try and fail. Just rebooting at that point would again attempt an automatic connection that would succeed.
What I have noticed now that I run Win 7 is that Access Connections is completely useless. Often the "finder" doesn't show an AP 3 feet away. I didn't notice that this happened after a switch from wired, but maybe.
Are you using Access Connections? If so, you might try uninstalling it.
Sorry I can't be of real help,
Z.

Can I have wired and wireless simultaneously - and connect via another Mac?

Here's my problem: My eMac (Feb 2005 running Leopard 10.5.8) is great except that it drops the ethernet cable internet every 15 minutes or so. "Sleep and wake" and I'm back on the internet for another 10-20 minutes, but this is not a long-term solution.
OK so I say that I will get a D-Link wireless USB adapter for the eMac (it has bluetooth, but not WiFi). Fine, except then the D-Link DIR-635 router that sends the WiFi signal is too far away and too weak. But I have another computer to which I can plug-in the Ethernet CABLE. Can I then connect the eMac via a wireless (airport) sharing? NOTE: At this time the ISP Modem goes to a DIR-635 router (a wired and wireless router) and the cable goes up 2 flights of stairs to the eMac. I'd plan to then plug-in the PBG4-12" to the cable instead of the eMac; and then connect the eMac via wireless sharing if that is possible. (The PBG4 does NOT drop the signal via wired ethernet - it is a problem with the eMac not the cable or router).
BUT then how to print? My MP640 printer is set-up for wired printing only right now. And for a number of reasons, I really want to keep it on wired (not wireless)-- I use this with another computer etc. etc. and wired gives me more selections for printing...
Any comments on this possibility and then I'll reply with comments and/or ideas-- THANKS!
Best regards,
Steve Schulte

If you use two routers then you should have the main one (connected to modem) as the official router. The second one should be configured to extend the existing network (you will need to consult its manual to find out how that's done.) If you try using two routers independently, then they will tend to interfere with each other because both are trying to deliver IP numbers on the network. So if the printer ends up on the secondary router then a machine connected to the main router may not be able to connect to the printer.
