Trouble connecting via ethernet cable (again)
Please excuse that I already posted exactly this problem a few months ago. Now that I need the solution again my posts have unfortunately been deleted due to the 30-day expiration period.
I try to connect a XP notebbok to the AirPort Extreme by ethernet. The cable is correct, now I need the right numbers for the XP network settings.
IP-address: 10.0.1.2 (AirPort being 10.0.1.1
subnet: 255.255.255.0
DNS: ???
Someone posted a solution but I can't remeber. Your help would be once again very appreciated. Thank you.
IP address 10.0.1.201
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
router/gateway 10.0.1.1
DNS - try 10.0.1.1, or enter the actual IP addresses of your internet service providers domain name servers

I have a Airport network at home with a Time capsule connected via ethernet cable to modem. Also the network is extended wirelessley with an Airport Extreme. I now wish to add a second Airport extreme but am considering a hard wire connection with 100 ft of cat 6 cable from the Time capsule to the second Airport extreme. Can my network operate properly to extend the network with both a wireless and wired extend functionallity?

Excellent plan.

Yes, but don't get confused about the second AirPort Extreme, as it would not be configured to "extend" a wireless network.....it would be configured to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, security settings and password as the Time Capsule network. Configure the second Extreme in Bridge Mode.
This Apple support document will show you how to hookup and configure the second AirPort Extreme:

I just purchased the 2TB TC and set it up on bridge mode to my att verse which is connected via ethernet cable. The TC is continually blinking amber and an error message states that a wireless network cannot be found but the uverse is functioning great. The network name I assigned to the TC is also not appearing among available networks. How do I remedy this, please?
What OS on the computer you are using to setup the TC?
Did you turn on ipv6 for wireless to link-local... this is essential for network access now??
Try power cycling the network.. start up in correct order.. uverse.. 2min wait.. TC.. 2min wait.. computer.
No luck factory reset and start over. Use ethernet cable as well to the computer to help it.
No luck I can show you manual method. -
I have an HP LaserJet 8150N that I use for my work and I have had this printer for ever and it is one heck of a work horse! I am trying to get it connected via ethernet cable directly to my iMac. I always had this printer connected via a network so I don't know if I am able to connect directly with a cable since it is a network printer. I have tried to reconfigure the printer using the JetDirect menu giving it a new IP address but still no luck. If anyone could help me through this issue I would appreciate it.

Second, seeing "connecting" and connection failed is normal. You must click on "Connect As" in the Finder window and then enter the username and password for the admin account on the other computer. That should fix things.
Thanks for responding.
When does clicking on "Connect As" happen in the process above?
After step six? Seven?
After the connection has failed?
Is this the FInder window that shows the icon of the computer you want to copy the file from?
You should see "Connect As" in the Finder near the top right of the window as shown below:

Out of the blue, my ITouch is unable to access my wireless network ONLY when my PC is on (the PC is connected via Ethernet cable, and has no wireless capabilities that I know of). What gives? When the PC is turned off, everything is totally fine. I\m stumped.
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
I suspect a problem with your router. Try changing the security. First use no security as a test.
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My Apple TV will not update to the latest software, dose anyone know what the problem is, I've reset, tried to do it wirelessly as well as while connected via Ethernet cable.. Both have resulted in the same message!! Update unsuccessful, current software version is 5.1 (5201) . I've rented a movie recently and does not appear in my movie list, but I have been charged for this movie, can someone help me out with these issues.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
If when you choose restore you get a message that the device cannot be found, download the file below
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (2nd generation)
Apple TV Software Restore 5.1.1 (3rd generation)
Then hold down the option key while choosing restore and select the downloaded file when prompted. -
EA6900 Internet Connection Issue - Desktop connected via ethernet cable
Hi there,
I have an HP p6837c, 64-bit OS with Windows 7 Home Premium. It is directly connected to the EA6900 via ethernet cable. My internet connection constantly drops (as in variably every 5 seconds to 5 minutes) then re-establishes itself. I have no internet connection issues when directly connected to the modem. All of the wirelss devices that are connected via the EA6900 are working without any issue. My husband's laptop, which has Windows 8.1, functions with no problem when directly connected to the EA6900 via ethernet cable. We've tried swapping out the cable. We've tried adjusting the MTUs per Support's suggestion. Nothing has solved the issue
Any thoughts on what the issues might be? Settings? The version of Windows? Any help would be much 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 and PC, 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.
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. 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.
Router and Wired Configurations
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices ON the router. This ensures each devices gets its own IP address when turned on and connected, eliminates IP address conflicts and helps in troubleshooting and maintain consistency for applications that need to connect as well as mapped drives.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
If http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipv6 is an option on the router, select Local Connection Only.
PC 3rd Party Security Software Configurations
Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing. 3rd party firewalls are not generally needed when using routers as they are effective on blocking malicious inbound traffic.
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. -
Can connect via ethernet cable, have good Airport signal but no connection
Hey folks,
Pesky problem. I'm trying to connect to my wireless airport extreme basestation and having problems. Everythings hooked up correctly and if I plug the ethernet cable from the modem directly to the powerbook it works fine. The odd thing is that my computer sees the base station, it has good signal, and it tells me I'm connected to the internet via airport.
Why then can I not actually acess it? Any thoughts?...it's comcast high-speed in case that matters.
Cheers,
SeanSean,
---- I was trying to get a link to another similar thread, where one of the experts (I'm not one of them) made some recommendations, but I can't seem to find it.
---- Is your Network Preferences selected for Airport as well as ethernet, and is Airport at the top of the list? Anyway, the fact that your direct connection PB to modem is working fine, may be the very thing causing your problem. The modem looks for the PB (MAC address?). So, you can do an hardware reset, or if not then unplug it for a good while (not tooggle the power on & off, but I think I saw someone even recommend overnight). Shutdown the AEBS & PB.
---- Then after you powerup the modem & it connects with the ISP (it takes just a short few minutes, you can watch the lights), then power up the airport, then after its connected up to the modem (again, a few minutes, you can watch the lights), bootup the PB.
---- I wish that I could have found the other thread for you, as the experts do an extremely better job of this.

WRT160Nv3 won't disperse my internet connection via ethernet cable
I am trying to get it to where I can configure my router by having a hardwire connection to it but I can't even get it to disperse I wireless/wired signal whatsoever.
I have done so many 30/30/30 reboots but I still can't get it to work even when I have it plugged in with power, ethernet from wall to router, ethernet from router to computer. It shows the X on my LAN Connection with W7 as my OS.
I am pretty frustrated as I had it working earlier when I was screwing around putting DD-WRT firmware on it to prevent it from dropping my connections but really I don't know what to do. I am stuck. I'd appreciate any help.I think it was just being moody, it's now working and now I could finally customize the name of the network, the WPA key as well as the router settings on top of having wireless internet working again.
EDIT: BUT when I hook up the ethernet cable from my router to my computer it still doesn't pick it up. But at least Wireless is now working for my 360 and my laptop. -
My macbook can't connect wirelessly but connects via ethernet cable
I've been going through the discussions in this forum and other info I could find online but I can't seem to fix it. I've only been using this old macbook provided by my employer for a couple of months and I've been having intermittent wireless connectivity issues.
Things to consider:
My network settings show I'm connected to the web but when I load a webpage it says web page not available.
I can connect fine when I plug it to the router via an ethernet cable.
There are other laptops running Windows which use the same connection and they have no problems connecting at all.
I've used diagnostics and restarted the router but its says it can't fix the problem.
I tried one fix before which worked by performing these steps:went to Open network preferences->selected the network name and clicked advanced. I added the network's IP address under DNS.
Details:
Macbook 2,1 model
Mac OS X version 10.6
using Aztech DSL605EW router
I'm not that well versed with the techinical jargon that usually comes with discussions so please excuse me if I will sound like I don't know what I'm talking about. Please feel free to ask for more details which I may have missed.
Appreciate any help that comes my way.It's important to remember that even for the same location, the settings for cable and airport are quite separate. This means that the settings that work for cable aren't automatically copied across to the airport settings.
Since it works for cable, I suggest you go to Network Settings, select the ethernet cable connection, then location then Advanced. Now note all the settings for all the tabs. Play particular attention to the Proxies. Now come out of advanced, select the airport, go back into Advanced and copy all the settings across so they match up.
Good luck

Trouble connecting via Ethernet
At home I use Airport with a Time Capsule and a DSL connection. Recently I've tried to plug into the modems at friends' houses via Ethernet and haven't been able to get online. At one location it's a cable modem, the other DSL. I go to Network Preferences and try using "Automatic" as my location ... but no luck. I've tried using "Assist Me" but it always winds up telling me I need to check with the ISP and/or enter login info. However, my friends have told me other have just simply plugged their laptops in and immediately were connected. What could be wrong on my end?
Thanks in advance!You don't say what ISP it is but typically ISPs like Comcast capture the mac address of the first device to connect to the modem. Any change in the device, such as you connecting your computer to the modem in place of your friend's will not result in a successful issuance of an ip address to your computer. You must power cycle the modem when you change the device connected to it.
The way around this is to connect a router to the modem. You can then connect your and your friend's computer to the router at the same time. Each will get onto the Internet without any need to power cycle the modem. -
Deskjet 6940 connected via ethernet cable to Airport, will not print
Hello,
I used to run my HP Deskjet 6940 printer using a USB connection. I recently installed an Apple Airport Extreme so I can print wirelessly. As required, the printer is now connected to the Airport using an ethernet cable, and the green network light is on. On the advice of an HP rep via telephone, I uninstalled all older HP software and reinstalled HP software downloaded from the HP website.
When I try to add the printer on my "System Preferences," it opens a panel that contains the following options:
Protocol: Automatically chooses "line printer daemon--LPD"
Address: Blank but allows me type in the assigned IP address
Print using: No idea.
Two more things: when I open HP device manager, and select 'configure a networked printer, all network confirguation info appears fine but the manager does not allow me to "apply" it. Not sure if this is important but no printer utilities show up in my utlities folder since the new software download. Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.It looks like you are running a Mac.
First of all, the driver for the Deskjet 6940 is built into the Mac OS. You really didn't need to download extra stuff from www.hp.com (sorry about the bad advice).
Next, let's verify that the printer is on the network. From Safari, select Bookmarks, Show All Bookmarks. Select Bonjour from the left hand pane and verify that the Deskjet 6940 appears on the list of devices found on your network.
Next, follow these instructions to reset the Mac printing subsystem: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
Now add the printer from the Print & Fax applet under System Preferences by pressing the [+] button. The Deskjet 6940 should be listed as one of the Bonjour kind of printers. Select it and then press Add.
I think that should do it.

How to extend wifi range using Airport Extreme and Airport Express connected via ethernet cable
Hello,
I'm having an Airport Extreme fifth generation in my living room. I bought yesterday an Airport Express to extend the range of my WIFI in the house and I put in in my bed room. The two devices are connected together via an ethernet cable, from airport extreme (lan 1 port) to airport express to (wan port). Now from the airport utility what configuration I have to set to the airport express in order to extend my wifi range? Inside the wireless tab what i have to select in the network mode?
1. Create a wireless network (use same same wireless network name and pass work as the airport extreme)
2. Join a wireless network
3 Extend a wireless network ?
Thank youYou are way overthinking this. The utility will literally configure everything for you automatically. All that you need to do is name the device and click Next during the setup.
You can use your Mac using Mountain Lion or an iPhone or iPad.
Post back if you need the steps. -
Problem connecting my macbook pro to a wired internet connection via ethernet cable adapter
I am having a problem connecting my macbook to a wired internet connection in an area in my workplace where there is no wifi. The macbook works fine on the same internet connection via wifi in other parts but when I add it as a wired connection it doesn't show any connection. I have turned off wifi to make sure that it is not trying to pick up a poor connection but I still can't get this to work. I think I am trying to set up the connection properly but can't be completely sure. Any help would be appreciated.
Open System Preferences>Network and make sure Ethernet is selected. If it is, open Advanced Settings (at the bottom of the Network window). Click on the TCP/IP tab. Configure IPv4 should be set to "Using DHCP".
Configure IPv6 should be set to "Automatically". When those are set click the "Renew DHCP Lease" button -
Can't connect via ethernet cable to Fios on my iMac
Well, went from cable because I was only getting an upload and download speed of 19 Mbps and was promised close to 50/50 if I went to Fios. Decided to go for it and installation took a full day.
During set up we found I could only connect my iMac 27" Silver desktop via Airport or wireless. For some reason even though my preferences on the mac was showing that I was connected both wireless and ethernet, if I select the ethernet option it doesn't work at all. Bad part is that wireless connection is about the same I was getting on cable or 19-20 Mbps up and down.
The service tech came out and told me he wasn't a mac guy, but plugged his PC laptop into the router and he was getting 49 mbps. I have a PC also on my network and it is working fine and much faster then the mac.
I have spent many hours trying to understand why I am having this issue. Tech guys told me he isn't a Mac guy and it has to be a Mac problem not a router or Fios problem. This is always the excuse when companies have no clue what to do.
So now that Verizon is on strike I can't get any support at all. I have a 30 day guarantee and may want to cancel and uninstall Fios and go back to cable where the tech support is excellent and the only issue I had was the internet speed.
There is no reason to have Fios if I am getting less service for the same money. Frankly, I have taken videos showing how slow it is. On many sites or times of the day, it won't connect to a URL at all and it will begin, then hang up and I have to keep trying to reload the url until I can get it to go. This is totally unacceptable and frustrating.
Does anyone have any real answers to this problem? I see others on a Mac also have this same problem. Some blame the router, others blame the settings...I am lost and use my computer for business and need reliable service.
I can't even get anyone on the phone at Verizon to either extend the 30 day guarantee until we resolve this problem or cancel the service and reinstall cable.The Mac should be plug and play with the Ethernet connection, and you shouldn't need to play with anything at all. Does the ActionTec's Ethernet lights indicate a link when you connect your Mac to the router? Does the Mac's NIC (if it has lights on it) indicate a connection? Does the Mac indicate that it has a valid IP address while it is connected to the router using only Ethernet? What version of OS X are you running?
