Trouble Connecting Via Wired Ethernet

Just bought Airport Extreme and I've successfully connected to the internet wirelessly from my G4 Powerbook (solid green light, etc.).
Great, but when I plug my G4 Tower (no card) into the AE base station Ethernet jack, I cannot connect to the internet. However, when I bypass the AE, and plug modem directly into G4 Tower computer, it connects fine.
Powerbook connects wirelessly fine.
Tower connects wired (direct) fine, but cannot connect through AE Ethernet jack.
What is the one little detail I am missing?
Thanks for any help.
G4 Dual 1.4 Tower   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

When you say connecting your G4 through "an ethernet
jack", I assume you mean one of the LAN ports not the
WAN port which is where your internet input should be
connected.
Yes, that's correct. And the wireless is working perfectly.
Also if you go to Preferences, Network, it should
show your internal ethernet active when you attach
the G4 PPC.
When I try to connect, I get a pop-up: "Could not find a PPPoE server"
In System Prefs > Network > Network Status, the dot next to "Built-in Ethernet" goes green and text reads: "Built-in Ethernet is set-up to use PPPoE. Built-in Ethernet is plugged in but is not connected. 'Connect Automatically' is selected."
So I guess the answer is yes. The light next to "Built-in Ethernet" in Network is green, but it can't make a connection.
But when I bypass the AE and plug the modem straight into my Ethernet jack, it connects just fine.
So when my G4 Tower is plugged into the AE Ethernet LAN port, for some reason it can't seem to connect.
Any ideas?

  • Can't Connect Via Wired Ethernet Broadband Connection

    Replaced a Westell 7500 with a DSL-N10 because of constant disconnects. The Westell had no problem connecting via the wired ethernet broadband connection which I switch to when I need to improve buffering for videos. The DSL-N10 won't connect and reports "Error 651 Modem reported a problem". I reconnected the Westell to determine if there was a problem but it connected to the wired connection immediately. Question is do I need to change or add a setting in the DSL-N10 to get a wired connection or is this something I need to conract Verizon support about?

  • Printer won't stay connected via wired router

    I have a Deskjet 1512 all-in-one and I'm having some problems getting it to work.  I have Windows 8.1 and I'm connecting the printer through a linksys router via USB.  The USB Control Center that I downloaded from linksys shows that the printer is connected, but it keeps connecting, then losing connection and I can't figure out how to keep it connected.  So far I haven't even been able to print anything.
    Any and all help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi @Blends412,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that your HP Deskjet 1512 printer will not stay connected via wired router. I am happy to help!
    According to your printer's specifications, and user guide, this printer only supports a direct USB cable connection, from the printer to the computer. You will need a USB 2.0 printer cable. The cable looks like this.
    Please see this guide, Setting Up the Printer Hardware for HP Deskjet 1510 and 2540 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 1510 and 2..., on how to setup the printer.
    Hope this resolves your issue, and thank you for posting!

  • Error 36 when connecting to wired ethernet network

    I'm trying to connect my new iMac to my existing wired ethernet network. The network has been functioning for some time with 2 PCs connected to a router which is connected to a cable modem.
    I have added the iMac by connecting it to the router. I am able to get the iMac connected to the internet via this setup. The problem is when I try to connect to one of the PCs from the iMac I get error 36. I have tried all the server addreses I can think of. (smb://ip address of the PC/shared drive letter; smb://computer name/share drive letter). It works on it for a while then kicks out the error message. I have "pinged" the PC and it is connected. File sharing is enabled both on th iMac and the PC.
    Apple support says this is a Windows problem and has left me high and dry even though this is supposed to be seamless.
    Please help.

    While waiting to be connected to a "product specialist" on Apple Tech Support I figured this out. First get the ip address for the PC you want to connect to by going to Start> Run>type cmd <enter>. Then type ipconfig <enter>. note "ip address". On the Mac Go>connect type smb://ip address for the PC click continue and you will get the sign on dialogue for the PC.

  • Mac-Mini wont connect to wired ethernet

    I can not get my Mac-Mini to connect to the internet via a wired ethernet cable. When I try to connect it says it is getting an IP address and then boots out and tries again. Its a never ending cycle. It does this in both OS X, and Windows. Do I have a bum network card?

    Hi Steve,
    Some ISPs can be fussy about the number of devices you connect to the internet.
    If the Modem routes then it tends to be this network card that is in effect "registered" with the ISP.
    If you have a cable modem then a Router then the router tends to be the device "registered".
    If no router then that is obviously you computer's MAC address.
    Some ISPs will go as far as requesting to actually type in the MAC card address and formally request to change it.
    It sounds like you have here a system of monitoring that is not that "up front" and causes problems enough for people to have several computers and just swap them.
    I would guess it allows one change, like you would need if you have a new computer.

  • Mac OS 10.5 Bonjour Unable to find printer driver for P1606dn connected via wired network.

    I have been trying to connect my HP Laserjet Pro P1606dn to my PowerMac G5 running Mac OS 10.5.8.  I connected the priner to my LAN via Ethernet cables and NetGear 8-port switch.  I then successfully installed the printer driver from the supplied CD on the Mac and went to System Preferences / Print & Fax to add the printer to the list of connected printers.  Hit the "+" button.  The HP P106dn was listed in the table (Kind = Bonjour).
    I selected this entry in the table, and the dialog box immediately went into action: the "Print Using" pullodwn listed the greyed out message "Please select a driver or printer model" and a spinning wheel labeled "Searching for new drivers" appeared below it.  The dialog box searches for but never finds the printer driver (I waited 20 minutes with no success).  I have installed other HP printers this way on this machine without any problem, e.g., HP Color Laserjet 2605dn.  Why is this method not working with this printer?
    I was able to connect this printer with other (Intel) Macs in my household via this LAN arrangement.  Is the printer driver for Intel-only Macs?
    I disconnecting the printer from the LAN and connected it directly to my Mac with a USB cable.  Followed the same process, and I was able to connect to this printer.  Successfully printed a document page.  While this provides me with a work-around for the G5 Mac, I need to share this printer with the other Macs in my household.
    I went to the HP download site and downloaded the latest driver for this printer, re-installed the printer driver on the Mac, and repeated the steps for the LAN arrangement (above) to complete the connection via the Print & Fax dialog.  The result was the same: spinning wheel searching for a printer driver that it cannot find.
    I do not know what else to do, or why this installation will not work.  I would appreciate it very much if anyone could offer an explanation for this or some suggestions as to what else can be done?

    I apologize for the delay in responding to you.  I was on the road all day yesterday.
    OK.  I switched the printer's Ethernet cable to a Linksys Switch (Model EZX S55W) that's part of this local network.  That did not work.  I swapped out the cable for one that I know works.  Still no change.  I switched the printer's Ethernet cable directly to a port on the router.  No change.  I even swapped cables here, too, but no success.
    As I was doing all this, I was wondering: When I select the HP P1606dn printer in the Print and Fax "Add" dialog box, (see the image below) and the Print Using pulldown menu displays "Please select a driver or printer model" and the message "Searching for new drivers" appears under it (with the spinning wheel), why is it that the Ethernet connection to printer is critical to "finding" a new (printer) driver?
    Isn't the utility searching through my system and libraries looking for a printer driver app for the printer that I identified/selected in the dialog box?  
    After all, if the dialog box lists the printer among those to choose from, hasn't the utility already discovered the printer via the Ethernet connection?

  • Trouble connecting via airport

    Hey everyone, so I am having trouble connecting to my wireless router. Everytime I want to connect I have to change my IP address, any solutions to this?
    Thanks.

    What do you mean you have to change your IP address? Can you give more details of what address you are getting (169.254.x.x, 10.0.1.x, 192.16.x.x)? How you are changing it and what are you changing it to exactly? What error messages are you getting? What router are you using?

  • 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.

  • 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

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (UK purchase) will not connect to wired ethernet network

    Hi
    We have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus (purchase here in UK approx 9-12 months ago) which has sort of worked OK wirelessly but finance industry compliance requirements now require me to connect to it by normal ethernet cable. 
    When I disable wireless and plug in a (tested and working) ethernet cable it does nothing.  I have done a factory reset (via the screen menu) to remove any previous settings.  Turned off, turned on, still nothing.
    I have restored Network defaults also using the menu command within settings - network; no difference.
    In Network - wired summary the screen says:
    IP: Not applicable
    MAC: xxxxxxxxxxx (not for sharing here)
    Hostname: xxxxxxxxx (not for sharing here)
    Wireless Direct: Off
    I have tried it with IP settings turned to Automatic (DHCP) - no joy.
    I have tried it with IP settings turned to Manual(Static) - when i then type in the static IP address that is within the router range (but outside the DHCP reserved range) as soon as I press Done, the settings are lost i.e. 192.168.0.102 - push 'Done' and the IP goes back to 000.000.000.000
    The same when entering the default gateway and subnet masks.
    I have restored to defaults several times, tried manual and DHCP several times, no joy.
    Please let me have some serious suggestions at the earliest opportunity.  Just to reiterate I have tested the network connection and cables with other ethernet equipment and they are working.  My questions include:
    1.   Anyone know how to make this printer actually store the manually entered IP addresses etc?
    2.  What am I missing about the wired setup?
    3.  Is this a known issue?  Is it an issue with the hardware ethernet socket or something?
    4.  Also in this forum there are references to a Hard Factory reset that is apparently different to the menu 'Reset to Factory Defaults' but links to an article about it just give a 404 error, not found.  [Does HP actually have two different levels of Factory Default and if so, God knows why!  Does anyone know a working link to this information please?

    Hello Qw8, welcome to the forums!
    I read your post about not being able to successfully install your Officejet 8600 Plus to your wired network. I will do my best to find suggestions for you to try. I would first like to know which Operating System you are installing the printer on to help me with my research.
    If you haven't already, run the installation (HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g Drivers) with your security and firewalls disabled to see if the proper connection can be made.
    I do see you ask about other resets and there are others however, at this stage they may not be needed. If they are, I can send you a private message at that time with that information.
    Please let me know your OS and we will go from there!

  • HP CP1525nw - Connect via wired network and wireless ad hoc?

    At my job we have our HP 1525nw printer connected into the network printserver via ethernet cable.  The printer has its own IP address setup on the network.   
    With support for XP computers ceasing, a copule of computers will be cut off/blocked from the job's network.  One computer is close enough where we can make a USB connection to print.  Another is located on another bench.  Furthermore, the one that is further away from the printer also can't be upgraded to a compliant Windows OS due to incompatibility with specialized software used to operate equipment hooked up to this computer. 
    Is it at all possible for this wired network printer to also be setup to print wireless via an ad hoc connection?  The idea was perhaps we could install a wireless card on thix XP computer and  print wirelessly via a direct connection to the printer, avoiding having to connect to it via the wired network at all.  But it is sounding like this wouldn't be possible.  Looking for a direct answer before I start shopping around for a wireless PCI card. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    From other posts I have read, I think the CP1525 can be either ethernet or wireless not both at the same time.  That will prevent you from setting up with an adhoc network the way you described.
    You might try an inexpensive wireless router with a build in print server attached to the usb port.  then add wireless USB wireless dongles to the XP computers.  Be sure you make sure that the wireless dongles support XP. Also for security purposes you will want to leave the wireless router disconnected from your network.
    If your fairly tecky and you don't mind playing a bit you could check your local thrift store for a used router with a print server.  For printing you don't need the fastest wireless available.  Just make sure it is a b/g router (not a B only one).

  • What transfer speed can I expect via wired ethernet?

    3 iMac's wired to an AirPort Extreme....what transfer speeds should I expect?  I'm only getting 40-60MBps  IMac to IMac via Ethernet provides up to 70MBps. I am wanting to get a Thunderbolt Drive but worry that while the iMac that the Thunderbolt HD is plugged into will get much faster transfer rates, when access the Thunderbolt HD from another iMac on the network I will still be stuck with the 40-60MBps rate.  Surely there is a way to get faster network speeds than 40-60MBps?

    Tesserax,   You are are correct, I was just hoping that there was some way to get better performance out of my network speed so that the $1500 Thunderbolt purchase was worth it.  What I now plan to do is get the $999 model R4 4-1TB just so I can have one since the iMac that the Thunderbolt HD will be plugged in to will be doing the most editing so in some ways it does help me....just not as much as I was hoping it would.  I can at least take my old FireWire HD and plug it into my iMac and use that for FCPX projects that are for more personal than business use. 
    Having only 1 HD that 3 iMac's can use to edit images from has really helped me out with keeping everything in order.
    If you can daisy chain the Thunderbolt Drives I have to wonder why they didn't have it so 2 iMac's couldn't connect to 1 HD.  With 2 Thunderbolt ports on the iMac you would think you could connect iMacs together using 1 port on each then have the other port for like HD's, extra screens, etc You know what I mean?  If you are going to make this super fast port/cable you might as well make it to connect iMacs as well.

  • USB Printer Connection via AX ethernet

    Am considering the following:
    *Using the AE ethernet port to create a network.
    **Through an ethernet hub or switch, connecting two AX in different locations within my office.
    *Connecting a Canon iP8500 and i960 to the AX units via the USB connections.
    My problem, like many others, is that the Canon printer utility (ink levels, out of paper notification, maintenance, etc.) does not work through the AX when connected wirelessly. Am about to try the ethernet to USB route but can find no discussion or guidance.
    If I connect my Canon printer to a AX USB will I be able to use the full Canon printer utility through an ethernet connection to my AE base station?
    Hope this is clear enough. !!
