TC connected to PC through Ethernet

I have my Time Capsule up and running, but I can't get my PC to connect to the Internet (I have an ethernet chord running from TC into PC). The booklet said to set up the TC as an Airport BaseStation, and I think I did that, but I'm not sure.
Can anyone offer any assistance?

Never mind I've got it figured out.

WRT54GS not able to connect wirelessly, or through ethernet

Hello all, I have a problem with my WRT54GS router that has just popped up over the last couple of weeks. It is connected to internet via ethernet cable. Light shows receiving signal. Wireless signal is intemittent, but unable to connect wirelessly. Direct connection from router to desktop does not allow internet access. All port lights on router work when something is plugged into them. Am currently accessing internet via direct connect from modem to desktop. I have attempted to reset router when connected to ethernet, but my wireless internet connection only lasts about 1 minute, then I lose that capability. I still don't get any connection thru wired desktop. Therefore I am not able to work with router settings or anything. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Internet Service Provider and Modem Configurations
What ISP Service do you have? Cable or DSL?
What ISP Modem Mfr. and model # do you have?
Is ISP Modem/Service using Dynamic or Static WAN IP addressing?
What ISP Modem service link speeds UP and Down do you have?
Check cable between Modem and Router, swap out to be sure. Link>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT6 is recommended.
Check ISP MTU requirements, Cable is usually 1500, DSL is around 1492 down to 1472. Call the ISP and ask.

For DSL/PPPoE connections on the router, ensure that "Always ON" option is enabled.
If the ISP modem has a built in router, it's best to bridge the modem. Having 2 routers on the same line can cause connection problems: Link>http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networking/fixing_double_nat.htm and http://cognitiveanomalies.com/cisco-nat-how-nat-works/. If the modem can't be bridged then see if the modem has a DMZ option and input the IP address the router gets from the modem and put that into the modems DMZ. Also check the routers DHCP IP address maybe conflicting with the ISP modems IP address of 192.168.0.1. Check to see if this is the same on the ISP modem, and if modem can't be bridged, change the DIR router to 192.168.1.1 or .0.254.
Prefered connection method with a ISP stand alone modem:
I recommend that you have your ISP check the cabling going to the ISP modem, check signal levels going to the ISP modem. For cable Internet, RG-6 coaxial cable is needed, not RG-59. Check for t.v. line splitters and remove them as they can introduce noise on the line and lower the signal going to the ISP modem. Connecting to the ISP modem could result in a false positive as the signal to the modem could be just enough to that point then adding on a router, could see problems. Ensure modem is working well too. Bad modems are out there as well. The router operation is dependent upon getting good data flow from the ISP modem and the modem is dependent upon getting good signal from the ISP Service.
What wireless modes are you using?
Try setting a manual Channel to a open or unused channel. 1, 6 or 11. 11 for single mode N if the channel is clear. 13 for EU regions. Try channel 48 or 149 on 5Ghz. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WLAN_channels

Router Placement
Forum User - "Well I feel really dumb. After moving the router away from other electronic devices my speeds are back to normal. Just a heads up for anyone experiencing slow speeds, you might want to move it away from other electronics and see if that helps."
3-6' feet minimum safe distance between devices.
Placement on main level floor and central in the building and WELL ventilated is preferred. Not in basements or closets as building materials, or near by electronics devices could interfere or hinder good signal propagation.

Trying to connect 2nd printer through Ethernet Port of AEX b/g

Hello all, Hello (maybe) Duane,
I do have a 2nd Airport Express b/g on our home network, and have a normal laser printer running as a wireless bonjour printer through that 2nd AEX, which is set up as a remote base station. I do have the Ethernet port free on that AEX, and want to connect a Brother 4040cn network ready color laser printer through the Ethernet port of this base station and use it as a bonjour printer? wirelessly... The AEX is set up as a remote base station to the main base station using WDS... I read a lot that the ethernet port only works when this station is in WDS mode - it is, but I still can't get it to work...
I talked to a guy at the Apple Store and he told me it should work, and that I somehow have to configure the Ethernet port of the AEX as a bridge so that could work.... ? It is not a supported solution (as expected...) so I tried to find that, but I am not able to work it out.
I can see the printer using the brother software, it shows me the status of the printer correctly, but I cannot get any printouts. The printing windows shows the printer, even lets me pick it as a bonjour printer, sends it off to the printer, but nothing arrives at the printer... I can use the web based printer management utility, which directly connects to the using the IP address, and can send stuff that is printed out, but i cannot get it working.
Hope that makes sense - anyone out there able to help?

Hello,
If you wanted to setup a wireless network, you could look at some Wireless Ethernet USB adapters (will work just like the AirPort):
http://www.afterthemac.com/
Understand that the "AirPort" is just Apple's fancy name for Standard WiFi Networking. It's not anything special. Just Apple's implementation.
So, any WiFi Ethernet Adapter is going to be compatible with Apple's Airport network.
If you want to use the standard USB to Ethernet adapters, then you could look to see if you can find a suitable driver that will either enable your adapter (the one you just purchased) to work, or perhaps find an adapter that has a 3rd-party driver and then purchase that one. The following website lists Mac OS drivers that will enable "Windows-Only" adapters to work:
http://www.sustworks.com/site/newsusbethernet.html
The problem there, is that most USB to Ethernet (not wireless) adapters come only with Windows drivers. So, this website provides information and support to make those devices with with Mac OS X.
Otherwise, I have not found a pre-packaged USB to Wired Ethernet device that comes with Mac drivers.
But, the first website lists lots of USB to Wireless Ethernet adapters that come with Mac Drivers.
I hope this helps.

Can Connect to Printer through ethernet network cable, but not through Time Capsule connected to ethernet

I am a lone Mac user in a very large, unsympathetic institution. If I plug my MacBook Air into the ethernet cable in my office directly, I can print through the office printer. If I plug the ethernet cable into a Time Capsule and connect my Air to the capsule wirelessly I cannot print to the office printer. I can access the internet, so I know it isn't a problem with any of the hardware or the wireless connection.
Is it possible that the network, because of Time Capsule, shuffles me into a different subnet than the printer? Why would it do this? How would it know? Is there any kind of fix possible? (I use the Thunderbolt port to connect my Air to a monitor, so I can't use it to connect to an ethernet cable).
Thanks.

Thank-you very much for this. How do I tell if it is in routher and bridge? How do I change it?
Tell me the IP address when you plug into the main network and can print..
Tell me the IP address when you connect wirelessly via the TC.
If they are the same IP range.. then you are on a bridged TC.. if they are different. Then you are on router mode TC and should bridge it.

Time Capsule won't connect to internet at home but works at Apple Store. Internet connection is fine through ethernet - any ideas?

A few days ago my Time Capsule stopped connecting to the internet at home. My internet connection is fine when I connect directly via ethernet. However when I plug the ethernet into the Time Capsule, it doesn't progress past the solid amber light. Doing a hard reset doesn't do anything. I took it to the Genius Bar two seperate times, and both times they were able to get it working there, but when I get it home it won't work. Any ideas of what the problem might be?

Try resetting your broadband modem. Depending on the model of modem, that can be as easy as removing power for a few moments. If that doesn't work, remove power and wait 15 minutes. Further reset steps can involve pressing a "reset" button or removing a battery if the modem has one. In the worst case, your ISP may need to edit its settings to update to the MAC address of the new router. If they won't or can't do that, powering down the modem for 16 to 36 hours can reset the connection.

Connecting to Printer Through Ethernet to USB converter

I have a Dell 1700 USB-based printer connected to a Netgear P121 USB to ethernet adapterr. I am trying to use this as my printer.
How do I configure my .imac duo Intel computer to connect to the printer? I ahve tried to add a printer as a generic printer as a native Mac OS driver does not exist for the Dell 1700. I used the IP Address for the adapter as the location.
Thank you for the help.
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

It looks like your printer understands PCL 6, in which case you should be able to use a Gutenprint driver for it. Tiger comes with GimpPrint (now Gutenprint) drivers, so you should be able to use one. You can go to www.gutenprint.org and read the instructions. You will also need to follow the instructions for your Netgear adapter, to find the proper method to add this printer.

Satellite C655D-S5533 can't connect to internet through ethernet (wireless connection ok)

I can't get an ethernet connection thru my ISP's (Comcast) internet cable box. I clicked the LAN icon on control panel but still can't connect.

First, reboot the Comcast box and then reboot the computer. If it still doesn't work, look in Device Manager under Network Adapters. If the LAN adapter shown there is Atheros, reinstall using THIS driver. If it says something else, post back. I'm assuming you are still using Windows 7 64 bit that came with the machine.

Sharing MacBook Pro's Airport internet connection with PS3 through Ethernet

Can this happen?
Tried several times and the connection seems to fail every time.
Any ideas?

In OSX I haven't got my iPod touch to do diddly squat, but it does work in Bootcamp XP, although in an odd way. If no activity in about 10 seconds the next time you enter a web address or something into the iPod Touch it seems to take awhile to re-enable the connection, but other than that it works rather dependably.
My setup:
Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz used with Sprint EX720 Expresscard used in Bootcamp with Windows XP. Now I bought my God Daughter a touch iPod the same day I bought mine and it appeared that hers worked in OSX. I will get with her hopefully this evening to confirm this. If it is true I may try exchanging mine, since both were bought only a few days ago.
I spend more of my leisure time in XP anyway, just wish it wouldn't - oh wait, here's another thing; if my Powerbook is sharing the wireless connection from my Macbook Pro, which is in Windows, there is absolutely no pausing and the iPod Touch works like a charm. So evidently it is the iPod which is breaking the connection when no other device is using it; I notice it searches for new connections every 10 seconds (if you watch that little spinning ball icon which appears every ten in Settings/WiFi networks in the iPod display. Maybe someone has some clues as to what's going on there. Is there a way to set up a ping or something OR stop it from searching for new connections to keep the MBP connection active?

Airport Extreme bs not connecting to internet through ethernet network

I live in a dormitory at a school. I have a network jack in the wall of my apartment that connects me to the rest of the school network and the internet. I have an Apple airport music thing that plugs into the wall socket and delivers wireless network and internet access to my apartment.
I also have a new airport extreme base station that I set up by using the wizard set-up software. My computer sees the base station. The network connection software says I have a strong network connection. But I can't access any service either on the local network or the internet.
Any thoughts about what I should change in the base station set-up to make it talk to the rest of the world?

I fixed it myself.
It was not a computer related problem. We have a network registration procedure that I forgot to do before the internet works.

How can i airplay from my mac connected through ethernet to an aple tv 2 on wifi

Hi everyone..
im having troubles using Airplay on my mac.. i connect my mac to the internet and home network using an ethernet connection to my router (non apple branded router) .. my apple tv 2 is connected to my home wifi network from the same router.. when i first set up my apple tv.. i was able to see the Airplay icon on itunes and it would let me Airplay media from my mac to my apple tv.. however.. it disconnects after a little while.. same thing with viewing my itunes library from apple tv.. i was able to detect my shared library from the apple tv.. i was able to play some media but then it disconnected after some time.. but now.. the Airplay icon doesnt show up in itunes anymore.. and i cant see my shared library from my apple tv neither.. ive looked around for a solution and followed the tip to turn the ipv6 off.. it worked for some time but now the problem is back..
i know the obvious solution is to connect my mac to the same wireless network as my apple tv.. but i would like to keep it connected through ethernet..
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
Apple TV 2 software version 4.4.4
Thanks in advance

I wouldn't say that was the obvious answer at all, my Mac is connected by ethernet and 6 of my 7 Apple TV's are connected by wifi, I haven't had any of your problems. The problem is most likely on your network.
Intermittent problems
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
Consistent Problems
A frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is the service being blocked on the network. Make sure your network isn't hidden, has a unique name, that MAC address authentication is disabled, security is set to use WPA 2 Personal and that there is only one router/device acting as a DHCP server and providing NAT services.
Make sure your router/computer allows access over the following ports
Port

Protocol

80
TCP

Refer to your router manual/manufacturer for any settings that are specific to that model.
Another frequent cause of consistent failure to enable AirPlay or HomeSharing at all, is security software, in many cases configuring it correctly, disabling it or even uninstalling it can help, but in some cases the security software can cause problems that simply reconfiguring, disabling or uninstalling cannot reverse.
If you are consistently unable to activate AirPlay, have tried all the steps in this article and have security software installed on your system, you might benefit from contacting its provider or participating in any online forums they run to discuss the matter with them.

After setting up my brand new Airport Express 802.11n and accidentally using it to connect my iMac to the network...my iMac no longer connects through Ethernet? Any ideas...I have tried everything without success!!

I have been using Apple technology for about 10 years starting with 1st generation iPods and our house now includes a 5 year old iMac, all versions of iPods and touches, Apple TVs (both generations) and most recently an iPad 2. I have always told family and friends that Apple technology just works. Unfortunately that stopped today. I bought a new Airport Express 802.11n to use for AirTunes around my new pool. I set it up from my iMac and accidentally used it to connect my iMac to the network for a short time. Now I can no longer connect the iMac to the network using a hard wired Ethernet cable. I have tried resetting everything possible, from hubs to routers to the Mac itself and it just will not connect to the network through Ethernet any longer. I am now a very frustrated Apple user especially when the support site says I can't use the fast path support because my product was manufactured 5 years ago...I just bought it at BestBuy yesterday. All other computers and itechnology in the house are connecting via wifi and Ethernet without any issue except from my new iMac boat anchor. Anybody who can help me??? Thanks

John, thanks for the email so quickly.
I too hope I haven't tried "everything" either but I am reasonably technical. I had done what you suggested to do before but I did both again.
Ethernet is yellow in the left side bar. In the right pane it's status says Connected but then below it says "Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet."
I have tried the assist me menu and Network Status has Ethernet Green, Network settings Yellow, ISP Green, and Internet and Server Red and Failed for both. I have turned things off and on, checked cables, deleted all locations and tried restting them up but to no avail. I even disconnected everything and connected the mac directly into the cable modem itself and the thing still will not connect.
Thoughts???

HT204291 airplay icon not showing up on windows laptop when appletv is connected through ethernet

itunes cannot detect apple tv when apple tv is connected through ethernet and the laptop is wireless, although both devices are in the same overall network.

Then I suspect your network or it's settings are your problem.

Hi
Did you test another Ethernet cable?
Would recommend doing this maybe some lose connection or broken cable cause this.

Is there way to share Air-Port Wi-Fi connection through ethernet port?

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this, I have wireless network in the building, and is there way to configure Mac Mini to share Air-Port Wi-Fi connection through ethernet port (feed Vonage adapter)?

Have you actually shared wi-fi to ethernet on a Mac? I ask because it is not usually that simple, it is a more complicated configuration. Most folks who do it the way you described get a self assigned IP and nothing connects.
See my comment here;
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12585788&#12585788
I have a Vonage phone adapter and Vonage does not provide the info that you need to hand configure these boxes, I have tried in the past with the one I have with a US phone number from here in Mexico.

Not only that but my Mac Pro keep running and does not stop, my Address book has a blue light under it but wont open, the light for my monitor in the bottom right corner wont turn on or off. Please need help...

It sounds like there is an issue with the Mac itself.
Use the verify disk A5 in troubleshooting.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Even if you cannot connect by ethernet, at current location.. you can simply disconnect the TC from the network and bring it to the Mac and plug it in by ethernet. The TC can be reset if you haven't got a suitable current setup (save previous setup before you change it) and run just as backup device.. do the backup and then return it to the network.
If this is just a standard incremental backup.. then something has broken. The issue is not the TC pe se but failure in hardware somewhere.
