Trying to create a wireless connection with an Imac and ibook

I was connected to the internet using a DSL cable modem, and ethernet. My main computer is a iMAC G5 (bought last year) using Snow Leopard as the operating system.
I recently acquired an old iBook (2004) running on Panther.
It was connected to the internet using a dual type ethernet/wireless modem from Sympatico.
It used the built-in airport to link to the internet.
I bought this week a new Airport Express 802.11n Wi-Fi device.
I sucessfully hooked up my iMAC to a new wireless network I created, but was unable to connect
the old ibook. Did anybody else have this problem?
Is there a solution?

Also see Kernel_Modules so the module is loaded automatically at boot.
Seriously? I spent that many hours searching for my several error messages, trying to solve them, not wanting to ask for help without putting too much of my own effort into it and when I finally decide to ask for help it is when I didn't get a super essential thing like makepkg doesn't install and is merely to create .pkg.tar.xz?? Oh gosh... (;
Well, thank you! I guess I'll take my next change to use Google to find out how to use makepkg without --asroot. Yes, wl is loaded now and it's set as the kernel driver in use!
Unfortunately, after ip link set wlp2s0 up and typing dmesg | grep wl I get:
wl: module license 'Mixed/Proprietary' taints kernel.

And therefor: No firmware loaded. Google doesn't give much about this message but hints to PCI or PCI-Express not working as it should. I found this and tried starting with pciehp.pciehp_force=1 and ordered a modprobe acpiphp but nothing changed.

You need to turn on Printer Sharing on both the PC and OS X. I can't help you on Vista but in OS X it's System Preferences - Sharing - check the Printer Sharing box.

Replace the Time Capsule with one that has a larger hard drive. Or erase the one you have and start a new set of backups or backup one of the computers to a different backup drive.

Wireless printing with my iMac and iPad...

I have a lexmark X4530 printer that I would like to set up for wireless printing from my iMac and iPad (mostly the iPad). I don't have the disk that came with my printer. I currently have the printer wired to my iMac and it is working fine. I tried to print from my iPad, it found the printer but says there is a connection error. I'm not sure what order to connect all this in. Do I set up printer wirelessly to my iMac first or can I just leave printer plugged into iMac and print from iPad wirelessly? Also I tried to use the wireless setup assistant that installed on the iMac when I first plugged in the printer, but it tells me (after entering in all necessary information) that there is a connection error. Please help!!

Printer Sharing with eMac, iMac, and iBook not working

Hello, everyone. I hope you guys can help me out with this:
I have an Epson Stylus CX4600 hooked up to my eMac via USB. My eMac prints fine with it. The eMac is getting its internet via an Ethernet wire going downstairs into my Linksys Router, which sends my Shaw internet to my iBook, my iMac, and my eMac.
I want to allow the iMac and iBook to access the printer over the network directly, so I can just print from those computers and have it come out the eMac printer.
I've looked at many articles on this. So far I've installed the drivers on all computers, plus they can all network to each other over File Sharing, so they are connected.
But I haven't been able to print yet. The most I've been able to do is get the files I try to print from the iBook and iMac to show up on the eMac, in its printer queue. Only it didn't show up for a LONG time. And when it did, the jobs automatically stopped and everytime I clicked start, it would automatically switch back to stopped again. The files would not print.
At this point, I want to get the iBook connected to it first. If I can do that, I'll try the iMac. But the iBook is first priority. I've tried making it connect to the Printer using IPP (IP Printing), and the result was... what I explained in the above paragraph. I also tried just ordinary Printer Sharing, but it said something close to this:
"Unable to locate eMac.local, Unknown host."
That hardly makes sense, because at that time I also tried getting the iBook connected to the eMac over File Sharing which worked. For some reason, the "eMac.local" and "iMac.local" files don't show up in my Network thing when I connect to them, or even when they're not connected. HOWEVER, I think they did at one point. I could swear I saw "eMac.local" and "iMac.local" in the Servers folder in the Network section of the iBook at one point. But it's no longer there.
Please help. I've described my problem as well as possible. What a long post. If there's any way to make my eMac, iMac, and iBook be able to print through my Epson Stylus CX4600 at any time directly, then I'll do it.
Help!

Yes. I did say that my eMac, iMac, and iBook are all
connected to the internet and networked to each other
over the Linksys router. I believe the router is
still on factory settings because we never really
"set" or programmed anything with it.
Mac OS 9.2.2 on the iMac, Mac OS X 10.4.8 on the
other two. IP addresses?
192.168.1.100 is what I would use to connect to the
eMac from the other computers.
This is the eMac's IP, correct? Did you type it into Network, or was it assigned by the router's DHCP?
192.168.1.101 is what I would use to connect to the
iBook from the other computers.
This is the iBook's IP, right? Again, fixed or DHCP?
192.168.1.102 is what I would use to connect to the
iMac from the other computers.
Same for this IP.
The iBook, as I've said, is wired. No wireless
connections to speak of.
Okay. Now, if the router is handing out IP addresses via DHCP, what range was it configured for? My Linksys, for example, is configured to hand out IPs in the range 192.168.0.10 to 192.168.0.254. It has the IP 192.168.0.1, so the IPs 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.9 are available for me to hand out as fixed IPs. If I was to hand out 192.168.0.100 as a fixed IP, the router's DHCP server would have a potential problem, as it might hand out that address too, and only one device can have a particular IP address on a particular network. If your router is handing out 192.168.1.100, .101, and .102 via DHCP, you could and probably do have a conflict if you've got those addresses set up as fixed IPs. In particular, if you have anything else on the network, including Bonjour-enabled devices such as printers, you're likely to have a conflict.
Best way to resolve a conflict, if any:
1 set all the Macs to either DHCP, or if fixed IPs are required, to a fixed IP outside the range of the DHCP range on the router. (Or you could just turn off DHCP on the router.)
2 check the router to be sure that DHCP is set the way you want it, and the DHCP pool is what you think it is.
3 shut down the Macs.
4 turn off the router, wait 30 seconds, turn it back on.
5 turn the Macs back on, one at a time.
On my Linksys, the way to set the DHCP pool is simple:
1 log into the router. (My router IP: 192.168.0.1. Yours would be 192.168.1.1.) Hit the 'Setup' tab. Verify the gateway IP. (Should be the router's IP. If it's not, something very strange is happening.) Verify the start of the DHCP pool. Verify that DHCP is on (or off, as you want). Verify the end of the DHCP pool. (My start is 192.168.0.10, and there are 245 IPs in the pool, so the end is 192.168.0.254. If I changed the number of IPs to 200, the end of the pool would be 192.168.0.209, and I'd be able to set the IPs 192.168.0.200 to 254 as fixed IPs if I wanted.) If your router allows for IPs to be reserved, you can set up reserved IPs for one or more of your Macs. (A reserved IP is an IP the router holds for a specific device. The network card in each computer has a specific MAC address; if that address is registered with the router, then every time that computer is turned on and connected it will get the IP that was reserved for it... so long as that IP is in the DHCP range and DHCP is turned on. Think of it as a fixed IP without your having to actually fix the IP.)

Automatically create ODBC DSN connection with special port and password. Add-OdbcDsn cmdlet

Hi,
I first posted a question in the SQL forum but I'm posting it here instead because its a Powershell question.
In a non-persitent VDI enviroment we are trying to automatically create a ODBC DSN connection to a SQL server.
We are using Windows 8.1 so we also have Powershell 4 together with the add-odbcdsn cmdlet.
But when trying to add set -SetPropertyValue for network port different than default and a password we get an error.
here is the command:
Add-OdbcDsn -Name test -DriverName "SQL Server" -DsnType User -SetPropertyValue @("PWD=test", "SERVER=10.0.0.1")
and here is the error message:
Add-OdbcDsn : Attempt to set the {UID or PWD} key of a DSN. These keys should not be stored in the registry for securit
y reason. Provide the credential information at runtime via SQLDriverConnect, SQLConnect or SQLBrowseConnect.

NB!: this command does not contain a port number, but when adding it without a password(PWD string) we just the default port.

Hi Primeid,
Agree with Jrv, we cannot store UID and PWD in an ODBC datasource, For example, you can create a DSN using the user interface but if you look at the DSN stored in the registry the UID and PWD are not stored.
ODBC it is always required when you connect using a DSN that the caller supply UID and PWD if they want to use standard login during connection time.
These similar discussion are for your reference:

is user name and password required in ODBC admin / User DSN?
In addition, to read data from a SQL Server database using an ODBC DSN with SQL Authentication via powershell, please refer to this script:

How to secure wireless connection with additional laptop and ipod touch.

Hello,
We are new to Mac and struggling with internet security.
We have a wireless internet dongle that connects into a USB port and some days our ipod touch can connect other days it cant, I am never prompted for a password to connect. This morning we were setting up a new laptop for our daughter and it found our wireless network and informed us it was unsecured. So we assume anyone within range is utilising our wireless connection.
If I turn on firewalls it shuts off everything, if we look at airport we get even more confused.
Is there a simple way to resolve this so our internet connection is for our house only and new devises that try to connect need to enter a password.
Thank you for your help!

Wireless connection between cable imac and laptop Windows,

This should be an easy question so here goes. I currently have an Imac with a cable connection. I plan to buy a Windows laptop within the next week. I want to be able to access the internet with the laptop from another room. There are airports and routers from Apple and wireless network cards for Windows. I'm confused. What's the simplest way for my Mac to wirlessly connect to the Window's laptop so that I can access the web from another room?

1. Your new laptop needs to have a wireless card.
2. You then need a wireless router with several lan ports.
The iMac will connect to the router via ethernet cable to one of the lan ports and your laptop should connect via the wireless connection. There are many wireless routers out there that will do the job. Check out the Linksys wrt54g. make sure your laptop comes with a wireless card built it.

All of a sudden my WiFI will only connect with my IMac and not my IPhone or laptop

my WiFi will connect to my IMac But not my IPhone or Laptop and it did up until a couple days ago

You might want to consider changing the name of your wireless network on the AirPort Extreme and then test to see if all devices can connect that way.
If you decide to do this, leave any apostrophes, dollar signs, exclamation marks, etc out of the wireless network name. Use only letters and numbers in the wireless network name.

I need to create a wireless network with a Mac and a Windows PC...

...and I have made certain assumptions. Are they right?
First, the background. We have two ISPs: the Mac is connected to cable broadband via Airport Express (the cable point and the Mac are in separate rooms); the PC laptop is connected to broadband down the phoneline via a wireless Netgear modem (or router? not sure what the difference is). Our printer is connected via USB cable to the Mac and we'd like to be able to print wirelessly from the PC. Ideally, I'd like both computers to access the cable broadband.
Assumption 1: I need to create "A Network";
Assumption 2: Because the PC may on occasion be used beyond the range of Airport that network should access the web via the Netgear modem/router;
Assumption 3: My first step is to plug the Netgear modem/router into the cable modem and reset the Mac to work with the Netgear thing.
Assumption 4: Next step is to change network settings on the PC to go online via cable.
Assumption 5: Then I weave some voodoo to create A Network (sorry, but this is virgin territory).

I would recommend that you set up your home network to have one single broadband access point for one and only one wireless router/modem combo (Netgear), that has NAT enabled and DHCP enabled. Then, I believe that Airport Extreme Base Stations can be set up in a "range extender" mode (sorry I don't have one so don't know all the details on this). It would not be set up as a router administering NAT or DHCP, it would be set up more like as if it were a hub (analogy: AC electrical power "octopus" outlet). Lastly, this website has a ton of information on how to set up Macs and PCs to do file sharing, printer sharing, etc., in either direction.

Creating a wireless connection on a Mac Pro with no airport card.

Hello
Forgive me if this has already been discussed but I am looking at all options to add wireless function to a mac pro with OS10.4 that does not currently have an airport card installed. My options so far are to either purchase a airport card, purchase a USB wireless dongle i.e.: D-Link DWA-140 (for which I am having trouble finding something that is compatible) or possibly using a airport express. The objective is to use it for presentations for lectures as I am using keynote and would very much like to use the keynote remote from my iPod touch (later with a iPad) so I can control my presentation wirelessly.
My question is this, will I be able to use an airport express, connect it via ethernet to the mac pro and create the wireless connection with my iPod touch? Will I require a wireless router? Or can anyone suggest an easy way to wireless control a keynote presentation with a non wireless mac.
Thank you so much.
Dave

This is not an exact answer to your question, but we had cable installed today (Virgin Media, UK) and the router is too far for my MacPro tower to connect. The engineer gave me a wireless dongle (the D-Link DWA-140) and said it would do the trick. After a few hours of searching online, I cannot make the dongle connect to the router, so I would recommend that you avoid this option for a MacPro. It may be possible to connect it but I'm certainly not finding it straightforward.

Can you pair with an iMac and an iPad at the same time?

If you have an iMac and an iPad, is it possible to pair the same Apple Wireless Keyboard with both of them, rather than having to buy two Wireless Keyboards?

I've kind of found an answer to my question, but I'm not totally satisfied. Basically, yes, you can use one Apple Wireless Keyboard with an iMac and iPad, but obviously not at the same time.
To switch the Apple Wireless Keyboard over from working with the iMac to working with the iPad, you first have to "Disconnect" the keyboard in System Preferences > Bluetooth. This frees up the keyboard, making it available for the iPad to access.

Creating a TCP connection with SSL/TLS

Hi,
I am working in a application that depends on the server. I need to estabilish a TCP connection with SSL/Tls secure connection with the server in order to get the datas.
I have the following code structure :
- (id)initWithHostAddressNSString*)_host andPortint)_port
[self clean];
self.host = _host;
self.port = _port;
CFWriteStreamRef writeStream;
CFReadStreamRef readStream;
return self;
-(BOOL)connect
if ( self.host != nil )
// Bind read/write streams to a new socket
CFStreamCreatePairWithSocketToHost(kCFAllocatorDef ault, (CFStringRef)self.host, self.port, &readStream, &writeStream);
return [self setupSocketStreams];
- (BOOL)setupSocketStreams
// Make sure streams were created correctly
if ( readStream == nil || writeStream == nil )
[self close];
return NO;
// Create buffers ---- has not been released , so need to check possible ways to release in future
incomingDataBuffer = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
outgoingDataBuffer = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
// Indicate that we want socket to be closed whenever streams are closed
CFReadStreamSetProperty(readStream, kCFStreamPropertyShouldCloseNativeSocket, kCFBooleanTrue);
CFWriteStreamSetProperty(writeStream, kCFStreamPropertyShouldCloseNativeSocket, kCFBooleanTrue);
//Indicate that the connection needs to be done in secure manner
CFReadStreamSetProperty(readStream, kCFStreamPropertySocketSecurityLevel, kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNegotiatedSSL);
CFWriteStreamSetProperty(writeStream, kCFStreamPropertySocketSecurityLevel, kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNegotiatedSSL);
// We will be handling the following stream events
CFOptionFlags registeredEvents = kCFStreamEventOpenCompleted |
kCFStreamEventHasBytesAvailable | kCFStreamEventCanAcceptBytes |
kCFStreamEventEndEncountered | kCFStreamEventErrorOccurred;
// Setup stream context - reference to 'self' will be passed to stream event handling callbacks
CFStreamClientContext ctx = {0, self, NULL, NULL, NULL};
// Specify callbacks that will be handling stream events
BOOL doSupportAsync = CFReadStreamSetClient(readStream, registeredEvents, readStreamEventHandler, &ctx);
BOOL doSupportAsync1 = CFWriteStreamSetClient(writeStream, registeredEvents, writeStreamEventHandler, &ctx);
NSLog(@"does supported in Asynchrnous format? : %d :%d", doSupportAsync, doSupportAsync1);
// Schedule streams with current run loop
CFReadStreamScheduleWithRunLoop(readStream, CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
CFWriteStreamScheduleWithRunLoop(writeStream, CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), kCFRunLoopDefaultMode);
// Open both streams
if ( ! CFReadStreamOpen(readStream) || ! CFWriteStreamOpen(writeStream))
// close the connection
return NO;
return YES;
// call back method for reading
void readStreamEventHandler(CFReadStreamRef stream,CFStreamEventType eventType, void *info)
Connection* connection = (Connection*)info;
[connection readStreamHandleEvent:eventType];
// call back method for writing
void writeStreamEventHandler(CFWriteStreamRef stream, CFStreamEventType eventType, void *info)
Connection* connection = (Connection*)info;
[connection writeStreamHandleEvent:eventType];
`
As above, I have used
CFReadStreamSetProperty(readStream, kCFStreamPropertySocketSecurityLevel, kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelSSLv3);
CFWriteStreamSetProperty(writeStream, kCFStreamPropertySocketSecurityLevel, kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelSSLv3);
in order to make a secured connection using sockets.
The url i am using is in the format "ssl://some domain.com"
But in my call back method i am always getting only kCFStreamEventErrorOccurred for CFStreamEventType .
I also tried with the url "https://some domain.com" ,but getting the same error.
i also commented out setting kCFStreamPropertySocketSecurityLevel, but still i am receiving the same error that i mentioned above.
I dont know how it returns the same error. I have followed the api's and docs , but they mentioned the same way of creating a connection as i had given above.
I tried to get the error using the following code :
CFStreamError error = CFWriteStreamGetError(writeStream);
CFStreamErrorDomain errDomain = error.domain;
SInt32 errCode = error.error;
The value for errCode is 61 and errDomain is kCFStreamErrorDomainPOSIX. so i checked out the "errno.h", it specifies errCode as "Connection refused"
I need a help to fix this issue.
If the above code is not the right one,
**(i)how to create a TCP connection with SSL/TLS with the server.**
**(ii)How the url format should be(i.e its "ssl://" or "https://").**
**(iii)If my above code is correct where lies the error.**
I hope the server is working properly. Because I can able to communicate with the server and get the datas properly using BlackBerry and android phones. They have used SecuredConnection api's built in java. Their url format is "ssl://" and also using the same port number that i have used in my code.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mohammed Sadiq.
