Trouble sharing over wireless or IP over FireWire

I've been trying to share a new MacBook running Leopard my new iMac running Tiger and its driving me nuts.
I only have one network port in my office but we do have corporate wireless. After turning on file sharing on the MacBook and connecting to the wireless network, I can ping it OK but it refuses to show the login window when I try to connect from my iMac via the Go menu. Any ideas on this issue?
I just discovered IP over Firewire but don't know if I'm doing the right thing as nothing is happening. I've connected the two macs via FireWire, in the MacBook I've selected Networks > Built-in FireWire [location automatic] using DHCP.
It gives that wonderfully cryptic message "Built-in FireWire has a self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect". The IP address starts with 169.254.
The questions are: where does it get its DHCP address from? Do I access it via the Go menu? Should I be able to ping it from my iMac? Should it be able to connect to the Internet? Scant info out there on the net (or its well hidden).
Thanks

Time Capsule Painfully slow internet over wireless (not so over ethernet)

I dont know what it is, but when I use the TC over wireless, it is over 10 times slower than if I just stick an ethernet cable in my macbook. I get 50k/sec TOPS over wireless. I get 600-2MB/sec over the ethernet.
Im seriously using an ethernet cable right now because I cant stand it.
I have restarted the thing 50 times now. (modem too)
I have an N capable macbook.
I have time machine TURNED OFF
I have tried all different frequencies.
It is not just my macbook, but every wireless device on the system.
I had an N basestation I replaced, it was super fast.
My ethernet and airport settings are identical.
I have tried. all settings of B,G,N 2.4 and 5ghz.
I have tried interference robustness on and off.
It is not the internet going to it, and it is not the environment it is in as It is sitting in the exact same place my N base station was in.
I seriously hate this thing right now... And I am as big of an apple fan as they come.
Please help me!

I unplugged it again and plugged it back in again... and it seems to have worked.
Why it didnt before, and how long this will last is anyones guess.
I just wish it was as reliable as my previous N base station.

Internet sharing over wireless

Didn't see anyone post this but is anyone else having problems with Internet Sharing over wireless?
Trying to have the macbook connect to the iMac over wireless and use the iMac's wired internet connection. On the iMac, the Airport card is on, and in network preferences, internet sharing is turned on. However, the options for sharing over wireless is grayed out and I can't get into those options to customize it. On the macbook, it doesn't see it in the available networks list to connect.
Am I missing something? Do I need to "create a network" on the imac now? I didn't have to do this in 10.4.10

After much consternation and countless trials I finally have everything back up and working. Here is what I did finally to get it to work. (Note that I am not a network configuration expert - I am only reporting exactly how I have it configured and it works without complaint).
1. I trashed my \Library\Preferences\System Preferences folder and restarted my Mac since I had updated from 10.4 and I wanted to start from a fresh set of preferences. ( I backed up that folder separately)
2. I opened the Network Preference pane and configured my Ethernet connection (connected to my external AirPort Express which I am using as a wireless router to my other computers) as follows:
-Configure: Using DHCP
-IP Address: 192.168.0.197
-Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
-Router: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server: 192.168.0.1 (grayed out and so I am not sure what this means)
I set these settings by clicking on the Advanced button.
Under the TCP/IP tab I had chosen:
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
(This set the IPv4 Address, Subnet mask and Router)
- Configure IPv6: Automatically
3. On the Sharing Preference pane, I configured the following:
-Share your connection from: Novatel Wireless EXPD (because I have a 3G wireless connection; otherwise I would have chosen the standard Internet connection)
-To computers using: "Ethernet"
And then I turned on the Internet Sharing Service and confirmed in the pop-up dialog that I wanted to share my Internet connection.
4. Using Airport Utility, I configured the Airport Express by first clicking the Internet button to show the Internet Connection page and set the following:
- Connect Using: Ethernet
- Configure IPv4: Manually
- IP Address: 192.168.0.179
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Router Address: 192.168.0.1
- DNS Server: 192.168.0.1
- Ethernet Wan Port: Automatic (Default)
- Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge)
I also configured my Base Station and Wireless with names and Passwords.
I then clicked Update in AirPort Utility and after it restarted everything magically worked!
I think that the problem lay with my original IPv4 settings where I had chosen DHCP rather than Manually hoping that everything would automatically be set as it had worked previously. The clue was that on my MacBook Pro I noticed that the DHCP was not enabled when connected to the AirPort Express. Even my iPod Touch is now connected to the Internet!
If anyone can explain all of this I would appreciate it.

Vlan over wireless bridge with internet sharing?

Hi Community, my first post here, hoping somebody may be able to advise...
I live on a farm which is too far for broadband but fortunately I also have an office in a nearby town and because I have line of sight I have setup a wireless bridge, this gives me 8 MBits which is wonderful. Some of my equipment, for example a NAS is on the farm, and I need to access them from the office via the wireless link and I occasinally use vnc to access my office desktop from the farm. This all works beautifully.
Ok. now I want to share my internet with my neighbor on the farm, who, in a strange twist also rents an office next to mine downtown, so I would like to give him access to the internet and to his equipment he has there too.. but I don't want him to be able to access my equipment and visa versa I don't want to see his stuff...
This sounds like a job for port based VLAN.. and so what I bought is two Linksys/Cisco SLM2005 layer2 switches in the hope that this would allow me to do what I want... but I'm not so sure now. In the office I use a draytek v2910 which has a vlan feature that allows me to separate the ports from each other, only giving them internet access.
So... if I connect these two switches to each other, and I create a VLAN with the same id on each of the switches, will the corresponding vlans be shared, so, if you assume the following hardware setup:
farm: slm2005 switch
port 1 -> wireless bridge to office: member of vlan "2", "3"
port 2 -> access point A for neighbor: member of vlan "2"
port 3 -> my own access point B: member of vlan "3"
office: slm2005 switch
port 1 -> wireless bridge to farm: member of vlan "2", "3"
port 2 -> access point C for neighbor: member of vlan "2"
port 3 -> my access point for office D: member of vlan "3"
port 4 -> router port 1: member of vlan "2"
port 5 -> router port 2: member of vlan "3"
the router (draytek v2910) is configured in such a way to separate port 1 and port 2 (otherwise there would be a loop...)
The idea here is to create a vlan "2" for my neighbor and "3" for myself. but what's the correct way to consider the wireless bridge inbeetween (in fact, I think the same problem would occur if I just connected the two switches with a cable (if i had a 2 mile long one..)...)
Will my neighbor be able to see both access points "A" and "C" and the internet, but not be my access points "B" and "D"? Or does this whole concept of VLAN over bridge not work like this, or not at all?
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Andres

Hi Andreas,
you're not far from it.
Your whole concept is ok. What you just need is on the gateway of each subnet (I would presume it's the router in the office) to create an access list preventing to route between vlan 2 and 3.
On all other devices, traffic can't jump between vlans. But on a routing device that has the Vlan layer3 interfaces, traffic is routed between vlans so that's where you need to prevent it.
With regards to vlans over wireless, you're also having the good concept. The point is to have only 1 ssid, that will be in a certain vlan, but also bridging the other vlans onto that ssid.
This doc should help you out :

Accessing windows shared printer via mac over wireless

So i want to share my deskjet 812c thats attached to my pc and be able to print via my MBP over wireless. I simply shared teh printer in windows, but have yet been able to figure it out, or to get it to work. It seems that the MBP will not see the printer, so any advice or any walk throughs would be appreciated.
Thanks

To connect to a shared Windows printer, open the Printer Setup Utility and click More Printers. For the new window, click the drop-down and select Windows Printing and then Network Neighborhood. The workgroup name that has been configured in the Windows computer should display. Double-click the workgroup name and then select the computer name from the new list. A new window will appear asking you to enter your Windows account name and password. Enter these details and click OK. Select the printer share name from the list and then for the Printer Model, browse to HP and then to the Deskjet 812C. If this model is not listed, download a copy of Gutenprint 5.0.0 for Mac OS X (http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3). This has the 812C which you can use for network printing. With the 812C selected, click Add.
Note that if you are not prompted to authenticate to the Windows computer, then this can impact your ability to connect to shares, especially on XP SP2. You will need to either enable the Guest account or create an account on the Windows computer for the MacBook.

How do I share a drive over wireless?

I recently read an article on CNet that showed how to share a drive over wireless...on Windows. I have a Macintosh and Airport Express 2g router. Is it possible to share a drive over the USB port in the Airport express to other Mac or iOS devices? For reference, I have linked to the CNet Windows sharing article below. They didn't give any Apple instructions, so I am asking here. Thanks in advance!
http://www.cnet.com/how-to/share-an-external-hard-drive-over-a-wi-fi-network/

You can share files.. with the following notes..
Sometimes what you can do is not what you should do.
Store files on the TC.
This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
Major issues.
1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk on the TC. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no control. In fact the TC is so lacking in controls for even the router side.. that you cannot do more than the most basic of setups.
The following are controls on the hard disk side.
Reformat it. You can name the share. You can do a full archive of the whole disk. This will go at a speed of aprox. 30-50GB/Hr so calculate how long an archive of a full 2TB will take.
4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
Even apple btw say don’t do it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168 Although mostly about FAT32 it adds network drives.
5. iTunes can constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

Is it advisable to download platform updates over wireless macbook pro ret?

Will be downloading update on my brand new....(but, made in mid 2012)....MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display with 10.8.2 version Mountain Lion.
Will be only downloading up to 10.8.5....as the new Maverick is conflicting currently with the new ProTools 11 ,which I need to upload from a DVD...after updating the MacBook Pro..platform. (That's the very reason I had to seek out a store with existing MacBooks still available for purchase...because I can't wait for Avid to catch up..I'm finishing a music project partially at home.)
Read somehwhere here that downloading with a WIRELESS CONNECTION will potentially have its problems. Input on this situation is appreciated at your earliest convenience. And if most of you feel there will be downloading conflicts with "wireless", then do you maybe suggest I hook up to DSL ethernet temorarily for the download and then simply go back to wireless connection ?
Also...don't want to cough up $300.00 for Apple's "Time Machine"...external hard drive to back up my system before downloading 10.8.5, WHAT TRUSTED ALTERNATIVE TO THE "Time Machine" they sell is liked and doable for this system backup before updating ?
Thanks...

Everything I own at home connects wirelessly - MBP, Windows desktop, printers, scanners, TV, etc, etc. I have no ethernet wired devices at all. I have a good quality simultaneous dual band 802.11b/g/n wifi router that has yet to give me problems (Netgear WNDR4500 connected to an AT&T Uverse fibre gateway).
I backup over wifi, I update over wifi - I do everything over wifi and have not had any issues updating over wifi from OS X 10.4->10.5->10.6->10.7->10.8->10.9 (with various machines too, mainly a Powerbook G4 and a late-2008 unibody MBP). So I would say not to worry. Depends on just how reliable your network has been for you of course.
As to your last part, I use a WD MyBook 1TB USB2 drive for my Time Machine backup (it is done wirelessly as the MyBook hangs off the Netgear router). I also use a SeaGate firewire 800 bus-powered drive and a WD passbook USB2 bus-powered portable hard drive for bootable clones. You can use any hard drive you like for a TM backup or clone.

WRT330N Transfer over wireless creates bad avi files.

I am running the WRT330N (with latest firmware) with WEP encryption. When transferring avi's from my laptop (wireless) to my desktop (wired) about half the time they come out unplayable or / corrupt file (when I try them out on my desktop or try playing them from the desktop on my laptop). Wireless QOS is enabled, and I just recently added my laptop to the QOS rule over wireless and set the priority to VI (video). I haven't had time to see if that helps. Does anybody else have any ideas and would error correction be better if I used WPA or PSK2 Enterprise or personal on the WRT330N? Tech support was of no help they told me to turn my network sharing password off and if that doesn't help return the "defective" router. Which everything else seems to work fine internet, strong signal, etc. etc. Thanks Again for reading this and for the reply.

Check if the file sharing settings on both the computers are properly enabled ....... Also check if from desktop to laptop if you are sharing the files or videos ....it is working or not .....

Trouble viewing audio levels in Voice Over tool

Hello,
I often record voice over into Final Cut Pro using the Voice Over tool. In the middle section of the Voice Over window there is a 'Level' meter that flashes Green to Yellow and Red, illustrating the level of audio being fed into the Mac. For some reason though, this has stopped working for me.
My set up is this: A Mic in our voice over booth connects to a Soundcraft 4 channel mixing desk via an XLR cable. The mixing desk is linked to a JVC HD tape desk, which is connected to the Mac via FireWire.
Previously, to capture Voice Over I set the tape deck to 'Line' input, in 'DV' mode and set the Voice Over tool to 'DV Audio' as the source.
I can see sound levels on the mixing desk. I can see sound levels on the tape deck, but I can't see sound levels on the Mac's VO tool. Despite this, it does still capture voice over (I just can't 'see' it).
This problem is annoying because it means Im unsure whether the Mac is actually receiving an audio feed or not unless I do a test recording first.
Any suggestions as to why the Voice Over tool would suddenly stop showing me Levels, would be greatly appreciated!

My secondary Mac works fine when the AV settings are set to HDV, despite it receiving standard DV audio input. Whether FCP is set to DV or not doesn't seem to matter in this case.
In trying to resolve the issue I played around with DV/HDV settings within FCP and the Deck; trying different combinations, but with no success.
+To recap (just to clarify in my own head), the situation is this:+
+Both of my Macs, Primary and Secondary, happily record Voice Over, via the Voice Over tool.+
+The Mic in the sound room connects to a Mixing desk via an XLR cable. The mixing desk is also connected to 2 sets of headphones, one for the Artist and one for the Engineer. 2 audio jacks connect the mixing desk to the JVC tape deck. The JVC tape deck connects to my Mac via FireWire to the port at the rear of the Mac.+
+The issue is that the Primary Mac does not display audio Levels in the Voice Over tool, whilst it does on the Secondary Mac.+
+While Im recording Voice Over on my secondary Mac I can see that there is an Audio input because the Green/Yellow/Red bar flashes up. On my Primary mac this bar is inactive and therefore gives me no clues as to the level of audio being fed into the Mac.+

Image processing over wireless

Hi,
One of our subsidaries has a setup where continuous video stream is generated from certain application servers processing real time image processing.
The setup goes this way; 3 PC's which run these image processing & are connected to a 3750G switch.
This switch is uplinked to an access point which then carries all these over wireless to the image processing main server.
About two weeks ago, when they tested this ,all 3 PC's had issues running together when operators viewed/worked upon the images on them.
When either one or two of them is turned off, the rest works fine with no disturbance( intermediate stop & start of images ).
Please help with suggestions on what could be the cause. I suspect bandwidth, but since this doesn't cover any WAN links, i doubt that bandwidth is actually the problem.
Thanks in advance.

It depends. QoS will help if your having congestion on the wired side. WMM QoS will help for over the air. I would look at the switch port and see if you see drops on both the map and rap side. You might just be over utilizing the backhaul. Remember that it is half duplex link so that can be an issue also. I had an install with regular AP's and 3gb video uploads within 30 minutes and the only way to achieve that is only allowing 4-5 clients per AP. the testing you have done seems to show that the max you can do over that link is 2. How much other traffic is using the wireless. Maybe try to isolate those traffic on a separate RAP/MAP pair using AP Groups.

Randomly losing network connection over wireless

Shortly after installing the 10.4.5 software update, my G4 iBook with built-in Airport Extreme card has been losing connection with increasing frequency. Built-in Ethernet use is unaffected. I'm calling this problem thrash-and-drop.
1. When it's losing signal, processor activity goes through the roof. I had Activity Monitor running during a thrash-and-drop. kernel_task CPU consumption goes from under 1% before the event, to over 80% during the thrashing, and back under 1% after the thrashing stops. The activity is so bad the cursor can't be controlled: using the track pad sends the pointer all over the screen or nowhere at all.
2. This has been observed to occur with two different wireless base stations: A Linksys WRT54G and an older SMC 802.11b router. Either router is within 10 feet of the computer. Only one is running at a time. There are no other base stations in range.
3. Another iBook G4 (OS 10.3, Airport Extreme card (not built-in)), sitting next to it, shows no change and its wireless behavior is unaffected.
Initially, this seemed more likely to happen when Safari was loading Flash-heavy pages. And after thrashing and dropping a connection, it was able to reconnect after either a reboot or a five minute sleep. Currently, it can't connect to a base station for more than a minute. Most recently, it thrashed and dropped while I was selecting the base station to use. This is true regardless of the application running. In fact, it will thrash-and-drop when there are no user applications running at all, after a fresh reboot.
I've tried the following things to address the problem. None have affected the thrash-and-drop problem. Admittedly, most of this is random:
1. Back up and delete network preferences in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
2. Turn off IPv6 in System Preferences/Network
3. Back up and delete network preferences in ~/Library/Preferences (com.apple.NetInfoManager.plist and com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist)
Has anybody else seen this problem? I want to blame it on the 10.4.5 upgrade but I haven't seen anybody else complaining about 10.4.5 doing this to them. If there's something I can do to fix this in a software setting, I'd much prefer that to yet another roadtrip to the Apple store.
1.33 GHz G4 iBook Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Hi!
I have the same problem of randomly losing network connection over wireless, though mine is hardly related to surfing.
I have an external storage drive in which I use for backup of my stuff, and I access the drive via my modem, using the airport. Of late, I noticed that when copying files from my iBook to the external drive, the connection would suddenly drop before the transfer is completed. This began to occur with increasing frequency, particularly when transferring large files.
I have since abandoned wireless connection, and reverted to my trusty cable. Still, I admit that I'm really curious about the cause of the apparent lack of reliability with my wireless connection. Has it something to do with the airport?

Color LaserJet 3600 and 10.6 over wireless (Broadcom Wireless Chipset)

Checking the archives, I've found that I'm not the only person who has experienced problems printing to a Color LaserJet 3600 via wireless. Those threads were archived with no solution so I couldn't reply, but I wanted to expand on what I discovered.
It is not so much Mac OS X 10.6, but the way HP's horrible host-based printing drivers are tied to the wireless. I've discovered that laptops with 10.6 that are also using the newer Broadcom BCM43xx chipset will garble their print command, causing the print queue to mess up on the host machine, and the printer to become unresponsive to all other machines (it perpetually thinks there's something in the queue, so no other print commands will go through.) The three laptops I tested were the unibody aluminum 13" MacBook Pro, unibody aluminum 15" MacBook Pro, and the plastic unibody 13" MacBook; all with clean installs of 10.6.2. All three laptops have the same printing error.
Laptops with the Atheros 5416 chipset work fine, even with 10.6. Laptops tested with this chipset were the aluminum 15" MacBook Pro, aluminum 17" MacBook Pro, and the white MacBook.
This is not any fault of Apple, it is HPs abysmal host-based printing system. The solution to this problem until HP updates their printer drivers is to use the open source HPIJS drivers (HP drivers for the Linux Foundation Open Printing.) You'll need HPIJS, Foomatic-RIP, and Ghostscript; all installers are listed and come with uninstallers should any unexpected errors occur.
I don't know Apple's policy on linking to external websites, but a simple Google search for HPIJS will give the desired link.
This may be a good solution for 10.4 and 10.5 clients working across subnets, as the HPIJS drivers can be used via simple LPD/LPR instead of the HP IP Printing System that relies on mDNS.
Once installed, when you type in the IP address of your Color LaserJet 3600, you'll be presented with the option of choosing the HPIJS driver.
Additionally, if you use the HP drivers for the LaserJet 3600 over both wired and wireless network, you must add the printer while on the wireless network only; it is important that you disconnect the ethernet cable. If you add the printer while using a wired connection, the printer will not work over wireless; however, if you add the printer while on a wireless connection, the printer will work on either wireless or wired.
Yes, the HP host-based drivers are that ridiculous.

Unfortunately 10.6.3 did not fix the problem.
I've also, unfortunately, found out that the HPIJS will also eventually fail to print.
This is beyond frustrating since we invested several thousands of dollars in these printers and we can't use them.

AirTunes not working over wireless from Windows 7

Setup:
Dell Inspiron 15 laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium)
Airport Express
Network:
ADSL router
+- Desktop PC (ethernet to router)
+- Airport Express (ethernet to router)
+- Dell laptop (wireless to Airport Express)
The Airport Express creates a wireless network (802.11n, 2.4GHz). The Dell laptop can't see the speakers. My Macbook Pro works fine. I've determined that the problem is that IPv6 isn't working over wireless. The Dell laptop can't see the Airport Express with the Airport Utility either.
When I plug the Dell laptop into the ethernet on the ADSL router, everything starts working fine. If you look at the interface information DHCPv6 is up.
Without the cable plugged in my wireless connection says:
IPv6 Connectivity: No network access
When a cable is plugged in:
IPv6 Connectivity: No internet access
(which is how it should be).
I am pulling my hair out here and have absolutely no idea why this won't work.
Firewall is completely disabled. The router also creates an 802.11g network but it's settings shouldn't matter (wireless isolation, which is turned off, and so on).
Any suggestions?

HP Photosmart C4380 [8A36CB] communication error with MacBook OS 10.7.5 over wireless

Hi,
I keep getting the message 'communication error' when trying to print wireless to a Photosmart C4380 from my MacBook (OS 10.7.5) through a TimeCapsule 2Gb router.
The message also says: "/usr/libexec/cups/backend/dnssd failed" but I don't know what to do with it...
I tried to de- and re-install, restart laptop, printer and router and pull all plugs in different sequences, first use the USB cable to install wireless and all other help from HP ... but nothing seems to work (HP Doctor is not available for Mac).
The strange part is that:
1.it started a couple of weeks ago, without having changed anything (by my knowledge),
2. printing from my iMac works fine (same wireless network, same software version, same settings, etcetera)!!!
2. printing over USB from my MacBook works fine
3. I can print a test-page from "HP Utility" form my MacBook (and of course from my iMac but that one works fine anyway)
4. I can access the printer through "http://hp8a36cb.local./index.htm?cat=info&page=printerInfo" and there are no issues mentioned whatsoever,
5. the 'HP Network Configuration Page' and the 'Wireless Network Test Report' congratulate me on the successful setup of my wireless printer... but it doesn't work.
I've read almost all posts about communication errors over wireless but haven't found an answer to my issue (yet).
Is there anyone with a solution? Please??
This question was solved.
