How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

Our service upgraded to 4g but now my Mac computer will not join the network, It sees the network but will not join

Our service just upgraded to 4g. Now my Mac computer will not join the network. It "sees" the network but will not "join"

Hi Hojo38,
That's not good! What happens when you attempt to make the connection? Do you receive an error message? What device is the computer making a connection to? Send details please.
Thanks,

Mac Pro "error joining wireless network", G5 and iBook OK?

Trying to connect to internet via wireless. The airport recognizes my WPA Personal password but still show "Error joining network", the airport bar is full but cannot connect to internet. The Network Panel says:
"Airport is connected to the network. Airport has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect to the internet"
Here's my setup, every firmware is up-to-date:
Mac Pro 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon
OSX 10.4.10
Linksys BEFW11S4 V.4 (firmware 1.52.02)
Airport Extreme card (update to 2007-003)
In Network panel:
Airport- Automatic
TCP/IP- Using DHCP
PPPoE- no click
Appletalk- active
Proxies- manually
In Sharing panel:
Firewall- On
Internet Sharing- Off
I am 100% sure that the router is working because we have a G5 (10.4.1) and a iBook (10.4.9) in the house and there's no problem for both devices, both takes the password and connect to the wireless network no problem.
And one thing, when I go to the setup page of the router (192.168.1.1) and disable the WPA password security, the Mac Pro works perfectly. So whats the problem? It doesn't recognize the WPA?
Mac Pro 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.10)
Mac Pro 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.4.10)

First question: Is there a wireless card installed? It was optional on a 3,1.
Go to System Preferences - Network and see if you have AirPort listed on the left. It also may be turned off which you can fix there.

WIPS needed when connecting wireless networks to Firewall ?

Hi all,
We 're considering to implement a wireless network.
One of the security options is using wIPS.
This will cost of course because it needs a mobile security engine and licences for the APs (and WCS).
Another option I see to avoid this cost is by connecting the wireless network to the external firewall. See attachment.
Then a wireless session wil continue to Internet or towards the corporate network.
This firewall will also have an IDS/IPS module.
Is this a viable and effective alternative or am I totally bezirk?
Is wIPS better because of wireless specific issues/challenges?
Thanx for any help.
Greetz Jaap

They're unrelated. The Wips features done by the MSE appliance have nothing to do with what a firewall does. The MSE will check all the information on all the APs to find out possibilities of wireless attacks. For example, authentication floods, denial of service, AP impersonation, ... There are hundreds of different signatures.
Wireless management frames never reach the firewall, only useful data payload does. A firewall will never see if a client is spoofing an AP mac address, if a client is sending "disassociation" frames to all the other clients and so on.

I have my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 A connected to my Mac Book Pro on a Wireless network. It works and

I have my Hp Officejet Pro 8500 A connected to my MAc Book Pro which is running Lion OS on a wireless network. It works just fine and prints and everything. The problem is a "HP Utility" window that pops up on my screen and says it is "connecting to device" and lists my printer. It just runs and runs and the entire thing is gray - meaning I can't close it, cancel it, or anything. When you try to click on it, the arrow becomes the color wheel of death. It is driving me crazy. I have gone through settings, I have downloaded the latest drivers, I have looked in utilities, I have opened the printer folder and can't find where this thing is coming from or how to turn it off. Please help. And yes I have turned offf the computer and rebooted.

If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
If you want more features, you can download and install the Full Featured software from the "Support & Drivers" button at the top of this page, otherwise, basic printing and scanning will work without it.

AP 2700 - 2 MAC addresses - problem with joining to the WLC

Hi,
I had a problem with joining my new AP 2700 to the controller. I've found workaround but I would like to ask you if you know if this behavior is a some kind of bug or maybe feature :)
I have DHCP server which assigns IP address base on the binding MAC address with the IP address. Without binding, IP won't be assigned so I added MAC address from the AP sticker (MAC and SN number is on the sticker at the back of each AP) to the DHCP, connected AP to the switch port which was configured exactly the same way like other ports on this switch where older AP are working fine and.... nothing. IP address was not assigned. There was no DHCP request in the DHCP server logs.
During the investigation I've found that AP present 2 MAC addresses on the switch interface:
switch#sh mac address-table interface fa1/1
Mac Address Table
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
11 58f3.54c1.2cb3 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
11 58f3.54c1.2cb4 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
The first one (58f3.54c1.2cb3) is a "sticker" MAC address but the second one (58f3.54c1.2cb4) is something new. Looking in to the DHCP logs I've found log that this second MAC address (58f3.54c1.2cb4) tried to get IP address but it was not possible because this MAC was not binding with any IP address so DHCP server refuse. I added this second MAC (58f3.54c1.2cb4) to the DHCP server, AP get IP address, join to the WLC, download software, reboot and ... this MAC address disappear.
switch#sh mac address-table interface fa1/1
Mac Address Table
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
11 58f3.54c1.2cb3 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
Software I had on the AP before joining to the WLC was:
Version :
Cisco IOS Software, C2700 Software (AP3G2-RCVK9W8-M), Version 15.2(4)JB5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
now I have (after downloaded from the WLC)
Version :
Cisco IOS Software, C2700 Software (AP3G2-K9W8-M), Version 15.2(4)JB6, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Do anyone know what happen?

Delayed connection to internet after joining wireless network

This is a strange one.
I have an Extreme-N (Gigabit) connected to my DSL modem and distributing IP addresses via DHCP, and an earlier Extreme-N (100base-T) conncted via WDS. Using 5Ghz wide channels, WPA encryption. Firmware 7.2.1.
Until the pasty few days, my iMac C2D, MacBook, and MacBook Pro could connect instantly to the internet.
Now, any system will connect immediately to my wireless network, obtain a valid IP address, and can talk to my printer, AirDisk or other machines on the local network, but there is a delay of several (sometimes more than 5) minutes before they are connected to the internet.
Resetting of all network equipment had no effect.
This is a real head-scratcher. Would appreciated pointers.
cheers...

On first and second reading, it sounds to me like a DNS issue - and probably an external one at that. The devices all receive an IP address and the address of the gateway/router. The Router (the AEn) in question is able to query the router for addresses of other devices on the subnet. When any devices queries for a domain or IP outside the subnet, your router is supposed to pass on the request to the DNS server(s) it gets from the ISP through the DSL. So without further info, it's hard to tell whether fault lies with your AEn or with the DSL modem or further down the line.
Here's a list of things to try in order:
1. Remove the older model AEn base from the network completely, power it down. It is possible the WDS is screwing things up. Test as before.
2. If no change, then I'd save the configuration files from each of your units, load them up on the other, and effectively swap their duties, the older one connected to the DSL, the newer AEn connected via WDS. Also, set IPv6 on both units to "Link-Local"
3. If no change, I'd put it back the way you want it and test it just to be sure that everything works the same, then I'd put some different DNS servers into the main AEn's config - the ones from openDNS (http://opendns.org) are good to try. This effectively cuts your ISP's DNS servers out of the picture. So if everything now works immediately, it's pretty good evidence that the ISP needs to fix something.
4. If STILL no change, I'd do a hard reset on your main Airport, then tinker with the settings, such as force it to WPA instead of WPA2 (hold down option while selecting the wireless security mode) and perhaps force 802.11g & b (no 'n', also by holding down option while choosing Radio mode). Also change the multicast rate. Tinker to your heart's content, you can always load back up your saved config file. Your object here is to remove the AE from suspicion.
You'll also be asked if you hooked up a single workstation to the DSL connection if you call your ISP for support, so you might as well try that too.
Good luck!

Airport Time Capsule to join wireless network

Hi there,
I just bought a new Airport Time Capsule 2 TB because my old one suddenly died. I just can't join my existing wlan network, it won't find it in the settings. I use a Macbook pro with the latest OS, a D Link router/modem AC1750, a Windows laptop and Iphone 6. All are connected to the D link router without problem but I can't get the Time capsule to work with it. Any help and advice would be appreciated!
Thank you
Michael

It used to be possible to configure the Time Capsule to "join" an existing wireless network, but Apple took away that feature several years ago when the Lion operating system was introduced.
The only exception to this would be if the Time Capsule is extending an existing network provided by another Apple router.
You will need to connect the Time Capsule to one of the Ethernet ports on your D-Link router using a permanent wired Ethernet cable connection, as the Setup Guide illustrates.

Obtaining MAC addresses of machines on local network

Hello, I have written a small network management program in Java (used to remotely turn our machines on and off)
Off via starting an external program (beyondexecv2), and on via creaing the Wake On Lan magic packet.
Currently it looks up the MAC addresses in a textfile of mahinenames->mac address.
I'd like to be able to scan the network and automatically pick up the MAC addresses of any machine that is currently on.
I have seen other network scan programs that do this, is it possible in Java?
Yours
PPage

Thanks Omkara,
Thats nearly the way I've decided to do it (after finding similar on another thread)
Basically need to itterate through my list of machine names (or get them from a standard scan of the IP range), and for each run the ping command on the ip/machinename, then immidiatly run the arp -a command and parse its output looking for the IP address of the machine, and that will give its corrosponding MAC address.
Problem sorted.
Cheers for the help though.

Time capsule, joined wireless network, no internet on LAN sockets

I have a problem, no internet access from the ethernet sockets on the Time Capsule.
Here is my set-up:
I have a new wireless router from BT in the UK. A BT Home Hub 2.
This provides my internet access and a wireless network fine.
I have my TC connected to the wireless network using "join an existing wireless network".
I cannot reach the BT router to plug in an ethernet to the TC so need a wireless connection.
All is working fine, backing up etc....
But, If I plug into the ethernet sockets on the back of the TC I cannot connect to the internet.
I think the TC is using DHCP.
Anything I plug in cannot access the internet.
Is this a problem with the set-up I have made perhaps, as I have previously used the ethernet sockets when the TC was extending a wireless network in my past home and it worked fine, but I had an AEBS as the wireless router and a simple modem connected to the AEBS via ethernet.
So the only difference is the TC is joining a wireless network instead of extending one.
TC cannot extend the wireless network of the BT Home Hub 2.
Is there a way around this does anyone know?
Thanks in advance!
Gary.

Welcome to the discussion area, Gary!
I have a problem, no internet access from the ethernet sockets on the Time Capsule.
When the Time Capsule "joins" a wireless network, the routing functions within the device are disabled, so there is no signal present at the ethernet ports. In this type of configuration, the Time Capsule becomes in effect, simply a wireless backup device.
If you need to enable the ethernet ports on the Time Capsule on your network, your only option is to connect the Time Capsule to your main router using an ethernet connection. If it's not possible to run the cable, you might want to take a look at a pair of ethernet powerline adapters to accomplish the same task by using the AC wiring in your home to transmit the signal.

Time Capsule - Join Wireless Network - DHCP

So I have a Apple 1TB Time Capsule here. I have it joined to the wireless network that's existing using a Linksys WRT300n v1.1 as the router to the DSL line. The Time Capsule receives an IP address giving to it from the Linksys which is acting as a DHCP server. However, if I plug-in my printer or laptop to one of the Ethernet ports on the Time Capsule, they do not receive a DHCP address.
If I check the setup of the Time Capsule in the AirPort Utility, on the Internet tab, then Internet Connection tab, the Connection Sharing is set to "Off (Bridge Mode)", which seems like it should pass the DHCP request from the printer or laptop to the Linksys and receive an IP back, but that doesn't seem to happen. Not sure why, wondering if anyone else has a suggestion.
Also noticed that the Time Machine backups over the wireless are painfully slow. It took 12 hours to do a 2GB backup, no idea why, never been slow like this in the past before I was connected to the Linksys device.

I have a similar setup (1st Generation Time Capsule). The TC is wirelessly connected to a Linksys WRT610N Simultaneous Dual Band Router.
I have no problem seeing the TC on my network, or backing up to the TC. I however have a couple of devices in the same location as the TC in which I would like to connect via ethernet to the TC, but it is not assigning out an IP address via the wired connection(s).
Any help would be appreciated.

Trouble with internet connection when using extreme to join wireless network

I have an airport extreme that I want to use as an ethernet hub. I have successfully connected it to my wireless modem, and I have a solid green light; however, when I connected the ethernet to my tv/computer/anything there is no internet connection. I tried powering down everything in order and rebooting as appropriate modem then router then computer, but still not internet connection. Any suggestions.

The AirPort Extreme does not provide any routing functions when it is configured to "join a wireless network", so the Ethernet ports are not active in this type of setup. The only thing that really functions is the USB port, which could be used for a remote printer or hard drive.
If you have another Apple "n" wireless router acting as your main base station, you can configure the AirPort Extreme to "extend a wireless network". The Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup....and the Extreme will provide more wireless coverage in the area where it is located.

Join wireless network

Ever since updating to 10.7 my Macbook Pro no longer automaticaally connects to my wireless network -- most of the time at least..... It does connect on some occassions but I can find no reason as to why it only works some of the time. Most complaints I've read about wirless and 10.7 involve losing connections and that happens rarely. But not joining the netwrok automatically is a real blunder Apple. This OS does not seem ready for Prime time.

I have the same issue. If you ever figured a way around this, please let me know.

Airport Express Join Wireless Network Disables Ethernet

I have one of the the older Airport Express (firmware 6.3) and I'm trying to use it to connect a non-wireless machine to an existing network.
Act as a single Wi-Fi interface to any computer or almost any other devices such as game consoles that has an Ethernet port but doesn't itself have built-in Wi-Fi
If I choose "join a wireless network" it appears to disable the ethenet port. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong.
My Setup
ADSL Modem ------ Time Capsule ---[wireless-g]--- Airport Express ---[ethernet]---Computer

Unfortunately, the Ethernet port is disabled when you configure the older AirPort Express version that you have to "join a wireless network"
It can be enabled in the newer 802.11n version, which uses firmware 7.x.x. Sorry, not possible up update the Express that you have since hardware changes were made in the 802.11n model.
