Trouble setting up new router and home network

I used to have a home network. I managed to mess this up real bad, but it was working. Put in 16 port D-Link router. Main computer connects to internet and I can see all the computers. One Mac mini can access internet over the ethernet connection. MacBook Pro can access internet over Airport extreme but when connected over ethernet it won't connect. IMac and an older Mac Pro (G5) both running OS 10.4 won't connect by either airport or wired. Computers are all set to receive "using DHCP" Also on network is a Laserjet HP 4101 which no longer will print. What am I doing wrong here?

Problem partially solved by doing the following.
Modem to ABS. ABS has three ports, two of which connect to computers. Third port goes to a hub with 4 additional hubs. I can't seem to get anything to work through D link 16 port switch. Seems like I have a nice new D link paperweight since I can't get it to work. I am not sure why. Unfortunately with the 4 port hub I have no more room to grow the network and that is why I hope the D link would work.
One last problem one MacBook won't connect to airport. Other computers seem to connect to airport just fine. FYI to get everything to connect up and work required a full reset of the hardware and computers. Basically shut down computers, ABS, routers modem, hubs, including removing batteries for up to 30 minutes and reconnecting and turning them on. These things seem to have a memory and keep looking for connections that used to be there but are no longer. This full reset perhaps could have fixed things a while ago and I could have some of my money still in my wallet. Comments?

TS1741 How do I get my Apple TV to view movies if there is no Internet connect but my router and home network is fine, but my IP's drops connection always without fail twice a month for 5 hours?

I have an ISP that goes down two or three times a month like a hooker with a hundred dollar bill.
How in the crap do I keep the I tunes movies that I've purchased. And backed up to my Server which also shares a
Folder on the main Computer on a 10(TB) Hard-drive. I have two windows. Windows PC's three Apple computers
And 4 NAS BOXES,
I HAVE almost every type of computer you can imagine, to include NOTEBOOKS.
the (Network Access Storage). Have several different ones from hardware to software, or intel to D--Link.
With a total of 64 TB in hard drives, not that it matters but the boo tables are using firmware boot drives

In iTunes Preferences you should be able to change the location of where media is stored to any accessible local or network drive.
You can also store media in several locations once downloaded by re-adding files store on other drived by reference rather than copying to teh iTunes media folder (once things are in iTunes, find them in the iTunes folder, copy to the desired destination drive, then delete from within iTunes interface itself - next re-add the files by reference. This used to work by holding alt or similar when dragging and dropping to the itunes icon or setting iTunes Preferences not to copy on import).
The issue for AppleTV is that when the internet goes down it won't be able to authorise the locally streamed media to play - also you'll need at least one computer running to stream via Home Sharing. Even if you put media on a NAS iTunes is a helper app that fetched the media being played and sends it to AppleTV. NAS itunes servers don't work for Home Sharing.

I set up a new router and the windows machines have no problem with connectivity. I go through the MacBook Pro's airport assistant and view my network and then enter the WPA2 password. I get back a message saying the password is incorrect when it is

I set up a new router and the windows machines connect fine. My MacBook Pro does not. I go through the airport assistant and see the network yet when I enter the router WPA password I get a message back saying that the password is incorrect. And, it isn't! Very frustrating. What can I do as I had the same problem after I tried to reinstall my last router. Again, only on the Mac. Thanks!

If you kept the same Base Station name and network name, that can confuse Keychain Access. Either change the Base Station and network name, or open Keychain Access Utility and delete any reference to your Base Station and network name. Make sure you delete from the Login and System keychains.

What is the best way to set up iTunes on our home network so all family members have access to all of our itunes library, even music we don't have on the cloud?

I have five different people using 10 different apple devices on one itunes account in our family. We have had trouble sharing. What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network? We have purchased music that sits on icloud, but we also have music we have imported from our previous cd library. Our itunes program keeps crashing and dumping everyone's playlists. So far we have all been using just the one desktop computer to sync to because we can't figure out how to share the same librarly and playlists on multiple computers in our home so devices can be synced at any location as well as playlists and purchases be made.

What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network?
One iTunes library per person. One iTunes account per person.
If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.
When the inevitable day comes when the kids get older, you will not have to come back here and post asking how all that stuff can get separated!

Wifi and home network and printing

I just recieved my new MacBook Pro last week and certainly enjoying it, but have a few questions(bye the way, I'm a new Mac user):
I have a Linksys wireless router in my home and able to access my shared files on my xp machine, but sometimes after the notebook goes into sleep mode and when it wakes it can no longer detect my pc. The PC can still access the notebook though. Any thoughts? And At that same time I am able to still access the internet.
Also, the other night I received my first kernel panic attack and recieved the gray screen message and had to reboot. It happened while I was outside surfing the internet and I had lost my signal for internet and home network. I was picking up other wifi signal too and wondering if that could have caused it. I then made a call on my cordless phone and that is around the time of the kernel panic. Since then no Kernel panics. Again any thoughts? Should I be worried having a Kernel panic with a machine that is less then a week old?
Look forward to your responses.

You can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !!

Control panel screen does not respond so I cannot set up new router

The printer recognises the new router and I can select it on the touch screen. But I cannot get any further. Several screen prompts do not work on touch screen: I cannot enter new router password in set up wizard or press start before pressing WPSbutton on router.

I apologize if I overlooked your first post. Base on your first pot, you were saying that you can get online wired, right? Here are the things you can do: 1. In accessing the setup page of the router, make sure the firewall on the computer is off. Turn off everything. Be it an anti-virus or a firewall. 2. Reset the router for 30 seconds. Make sure the power light of the router is blinking when you press the reset button. That is the indicator that the reset is properly press. Then power cycle the router and the modem. 3. After that, check if you can ping the IP address of the router: 192.168.1.1 (default). If so, try to access the page. Username: blank Password:admin. 4. You should be able to access the page, if not (incomplete page), adjust the security level of the browser or you can use another browser to isolate the problem. If the problem is still there, try to access the router using a different computer to isolate further. 5. Considering you are able to access the setup page of the router with no problem now, go to the status tab and check your internet IP. In doing that, we will be able to determined if the router is acting just a passthru or the other way around. 6. Then go to the wireless tab, configure the SSID (change the default one, change the channel to 11 then save. 7. Go to wireless security sub tab and enable the wireless security (WPA). Save all the settings and try to connect your wireless computer. If you are using a built-in wireless card, make sure all updates are installed on the PC, drivers and WPA patches. Try to connect using WZC... Hope it works!

Process for setting up new directories and files on Unix

I am trying to document a process �Process for setting up new directories and files on Unix batch servers�.
Developer will be developing project on Windows and I need tell them as well as QA team how the Unix directory and file structure.
Please let me know how is the process in Unix on AIX.
If I get some documentation regarding this it will be useful.
Thanks in advance

well on unix/Linux/solaris there are no drives but storage heirarchy starts with a root directory represented with ' / '. and all files and directories are created in root directoy like
/usr/local/bin
/export/home/san
etc
also filesystem of unix consists iNodes rathar than FAT entries as in case of Windows.
some basic information is available at

I purchased a new router and now I can not connect to my time capsule. What should I do?

In the past, I have just used my time capsule to back up my macbook pro. It connected wirelessly and everything worked great. I recently purchased a new router and now I cannot connect to the time capsule. Please help!

Is that other router the "main" one? If so, you'll have to configure the Time Capsule to "join" the network created by that router. The details of how to do that and whether it's possible may depend on the brand and model of that router, but I have no details on that.

Just got a new router and now my ipad 1 says it can not connect to the server, even though it says that it is connected to wi fi

Just put in a new router and now my ipad 1 will not connect to the server. It is connected to the wifi though. Does this mean my ipad is too old? Any suggestions on what to do?

You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

I just installed a new router and cannot get my ipad to connect now and I have no idea what settings should be or how to go about this

I just installed a new router and cannot connect with my ipad now. I have no idea what settings I shold be looking at or how to do this

you likely need to setup your router using an eathernet cable and a computer to turn on the wifi part and set an encryption level and password or the likes
if you havent do such things before you may require help from somebody who have
the router likely comes with an instruction manual how you set it up the first time

I purchased a new router and now can't connect my Iphone 4S to it. All my other devices work fine. How do I get the phone to connect. It finds the router but wants IP address: CHCP/BootP/STATIC. I am confused!!

I purchased a new router and can not connect my IPHONE 4S to it. All my other devices connect fine including my IPAD. HELP! I am not a techie!! I am a newbie

My guess is that when you see the router on your phone, you press the blue arrow on the right - thats why you see all the IP stuff. Don't press the blue arrow. Press further to the left. You should be prompted for a password then.

Having trouble syncing my new phone and new number

Trouble setting up Airport Express and Windows

I am trying to help a friend set up Airport Express to work with her Windows computer. The goal is to use the Airport Express so she can stream iTunes to her stereo system. There is an existing Linksys wireless network. First I tried to connect add the Airport Express to her existing wireless network. I was able to see the base station and I chose to add it to her existing network. I was able to go through all the steps updating the Airport Express. After the base station restarted, the configuration tool couldn't see the base station anymore. In iTunes on her Windows computer, I could see the base station but when I clicked to select the speakers, it wouldn't select.
I reset the Airport Express to factory settings and tried again with the same result.
I reset again and tried using the Airport Express to replace her wireless network and to also stream iTunes. In the configuration app I chose to create a new wireless network. I was able to set up the Airport Express as a wireless network and could connect her Windows laptop to the Internet through the Airport Express. But I had the same problem in iTunes: I could see the speakers in the drop down list, but I couldn't select them.
I've returned everything to how it was (Linksys wireless network).
Can anyone let me know how to make this work?
Thanks

As I mentioned in my post, I followed the directions exactly. I used the same set of directions in the previous post. At the last step of the set up, the Airport Express restarts. After restarting, I got an error saying the utility could not find the base station. I reset the Airport Express to factory settings and went through the steps again and had the exact same result.
I am using an Airport Express at home with a Linksys router and I had no problem setting it up to join my network. The only difference is that I use a Mac at home. The one I am trying to set up for my friend is with a Windows XP machine.
Has anyone ever had this problem?
