USB Ethernet - manual configuration

Hello all,
I have a usb to ethernet adapter that I would like to use but can't seem to get to to work. I'm using an imac with Leopard and I've included some output below:

The adapter I'm using is a TrendNET TU-ET100c and from what i remember from the manufacturer's website it mentioned no drivers were required.
I really just want to assign an ip address to it and bring to interface up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Then why not use a switch and router? I'm still a bit confused why the adapter is needed.
In any event I suspect the adapter requires drivers, but I don't see any definitive information other than it's only certified as Windows compatible (except Vista.)
I did find this relevant information regarding USB-Ethernet adapters for Macs: http://www.sustworks.com/site/newsusbethernet.html.

USB Ethernet will not configure

Hello,
Today I started to have problems with my USB Ethernet dongle on my Yosemite Macbook Pro Late 2013 Retina. I deleted the device from Network Utility then rebooted thinking I would re-initialze it. After rebooting, the System Info recognizes the USB LAN device but Network Utility does not list it. This appears to be software issue. I have confirmed the dongle works fine on another laptop (Windows). Any ideas how to fix this issue?
TIA

The driver is built into Mac OS X. The dongle worked fine for weeks on Yosemite. It is a Cable Matters Cable Matters USB 2.0 to 10/100 Fast Ethernet

Apple USB Ethernet Adapter

Hi,
Is this a mac mini compatible USB adapter? or "just" MacBook Air? : http://www.abt.com/product/33454/Apple-MB442ZA.html
I would appreciate an answer. Thanks!

Hi,
haven't tried myself, but according to this review:
*Works with Mac Mini*
I purchased this device for my new Intel Mac Mini. I am using Leopard 10.5.2 and this adapter works perfect.
When I plugged the…Read more adapter into a USB port of my Mac Mini with the ethernet side plugged into my Time Capsule the network connection was made without any effort on my part.
I was able to change this from a DHCP to a manual configuration without any issues.
I rate this device 5 stars."
(taken from here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB442Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MjE0ODQ2OA )
it does work with a Mac Mini.
Hope it helps

USB Ethernet Question

Hi, I am working on a friend's iMac G3. She basically uses her computer for checking email and such, and recently her internet stopped working for her. I brought it over to my house to test it on my network and it wouldn't work here either. I consider myself rather computer savvy and I have tried every option possible, including manually bringing the interface up with ifconfig. I figured the easiest replacement option, and the cheapest for her would be a USB ethernet adapter, so I bought a Linksys USB200M from TigerDirect, plugged it in, and 10.1 doesn't want to recognize it. Upon further research, it seems many sites suggested upgrading to 10.3 or later if you want to use USB ethernet. Any ideas that wouldn't require and upgrade? She doesn't really want to spend much more money and this is a big hassle for her so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

It is listed as plug and play, but not mac compatible, although http://www.sustworks.com/site/newsusbethernet.html says it works with OS X 10.3+. Right now this thing won't even light up.
I am looking for a USB ethernet adapter to connect to a DSL modem, not a wireless bridge. The DSL modem is brand new to replace her old one which is broke recently, so I am sure that works. It isn't working on my network either which uses a DHCP router to connect to a cable modem, but all my other computers (including my dad's MacBook) work fine immediately after being plugged in. Like I said, I have tried all the network configuration options, including the command line (which I am quite familiar with as I administer several FreeBSD servers) and I'm sure the built-in card is dead. What I would like to know now is if it is possible to get this adapter working on 10.1, and if not, which adapter I should buy instead. It seems hard to find one that works with Mac unfortunately.

Sharing one ethernet cable with two macs using a USB Ethernet Adaptor

I have two computers running Mac OS 10.6 but only one ethernet cable in my office. One ethernet cable goes from the wall to Mac #1. I have a cisco USB Ethernet Adaptor USB300M that I like to use as OUTGOING ethernet cable from Mac #1 to plug into Mac #2. Does anybody know how this works? Simply plugging it in does not work. Thanks for any suggestions!

If either of these computers is a Mac Pro (65 lb.) tower, all of which have two Ethernet jacks, Internet sharing is crisply supported with any additional Hardware. Cable the wall jack Ethernet to the first Ethernet port, then cable the second Ethernet port to the second Mac. Configuration is described in this article:

Can't reach network video server on Mac Mini's USB Ethernet Adapter.

I am trying to connect an IP video server to my Mac Mini's USB>Ethernet adapter. The server works fine on the built in Ethernet "en(0)", but is unreachable on the USB>Ethernet adapter network"en(3)".
Is this a subnet issue? I don't know much about networking obviously, but I think I just need to find a way to designate the proper port to look on, because the Mac is looking on the built in Ethernet only when I specify http://192.168.0.90:80/
The en(3) is configured for DCHP.
I could just hook the server up to the built in Ethernet, but then I'll have to run new and very long cat 5 cable.
I'd love to hear any ideas on how to get this working.

The Network Settings for the USB>Ethernet port are:
IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Address 169.254.33.152
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Router: (none)
DNS Server: (none)

Using USB ethernet adapter?

my ibook's ethernet port is non-funtional. and i have been looking into USB Ethernet adapters to help remedy the situation without buying a new computer. but i cannot get my computer to configure to the port. can anyone help me set my computer up to run on this drive?
G3 ibook 800 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

is there anything else i can do?
Replace the logic board? DT & T Computer Services will do it for $195 plus shipping to and from Fremont, California.
are there any that are mac 10.2 compatable?
None that I know of, but I'll ask some of the networking gurus if they know of any.
Is going wireless with an original AirPort card an option for you?

Apple USB Ethernet Adapter and VLAN??

Bought the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter today because my built in ethernetport on my MBP stopped working. What I know I need to replace the motherboard to have it fixed, so I thought the USB adapter could be useful until then.
But, it didn't work! I only got a "Self assigned ip-address". No matter what I do. I also entered an ip-address manually with no success.
Later at home I tested again, and Voila!! It worked perfectly!
Back at the office, same problem... I only get a "Self assigned ip-address"...
My conclusion of this is that the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter doesn't support VLAN?? Could anyone confirm that or better of, suggest a solution??
Would appreciate it a lot!
PS. Yes we do have Wi-Fi, but it's restricted and is not a solution for me. DS.

Create a new network location and try again.

Why doesn't Wi-Fi turn OFF when USB Ethernet is connected?

When I get into the office, I connect my MacBook Air (2011/Lion) via USB Ethernet (we have Wi-Fi too).
When connected through USB Ethernet, my Wi-Fi stays connected as well.
Is it possible to have Wi-Fi turn off automatically when connected via USB Ethernet?

You can configure your Network System Preferences so that your Ethernet interface has preference over wifi. It will not automatically turn off wifi, but it will use the Ethernet if it's plugged in.

Is there a way to disable usb sync using configuration profile?

Is there a way to lockdown an ipad to prevent data being copied via USB using a configuration profile. I couldn't seem to find any profile options in this regards.

iPads user manuals.
You can set a four digit passcode as well as impose restriction codes for using specified apps. All is explained in the user manual.

I cant not get my USB ethernet adapter to work with my new Macbook Air.

So this is the second adapter I have bought and it seems to not work still. I didnt check System info on the first adapter but on the second one i noticed this. The current required mA is unknown. Is there a fix for this or should I try and get another adapter. I have the 2011 MacBook Air running lion.

Wireless Print Server (DPR-1260) - Manually Configure Printer Port

I am trying to get my DPR-1260 Wireless Print Server (PS) installed, and need help with manually configuring the printer port (per Dlink).
Status:
A) Before trying to install the PS, I was able to easily install (2) USB printers, see them, and print to them.
B) My new IMAC is hardwired to the router.
*Recent Actions:*
1) I've worked with Dlink and have verified that my network (my new IMAC, and my wife's wireless laptop (OS 10.39) see the PS (hooked directly to the router). It's IP address is 192.168.0.102 .
2) I hooked both printers to the PS, and the address sees both printers as installed, and provide with LPR information (both printers are now hooked to the PS). Dlink does not guarantee printer compatibility, but says that since the site sees the printers, gives me LPRs, that the probability is good that they will be compatiable.
3) My new IMAC sees this address in both OS and in XP (thru VM Fusion). My laptop (10.3x) also sees this address. However, I'm not able to install this printer.
4) Per Dlink, I need to manually configure the printer port to install the PS.
5) Dlink kept sending me to the Print Utility, but from what I see, that does not exist in 10.5.
How do I manually configure the printer port to see the PS?
Now, I am stuck, and help?
Many thanks

As DLink have said, you will have to manually configure a LPR queue to connect to your printers. The print utility in 10.5 is the Print & Fax util in System Preferences. Open this and choose to Add . Select IP and then LPR. Enter the ip address of the PS. Then you will need a queue name for the respective USB ports, such as P1 and P2, or something similar. Hopefully the DLink info mentions this so that you can print to the desired printer.
The final bit of info you will need to know is whether the printer driver for each printer will work in this type of network. If either of them is a Canon then there is a good chance you will not be able to use supplied drivers. These types of connections require a third party driver, like Gutenprint, which is usually installed by default. If you are not sure, then please tell us which brands and models of printer you have.

Unable to query IPv4 router of manually configured interface

I need to determine the IPv4 router for a given Ethernet/WiFi interface.
The route table can not always be used to determine the router in the case of a multi-homed system.
So, the SystemConfiguration framework seems to be the right choice to use by querying the kSCPropNetIPv4Router property from the network service associated with the interface.
This works fine assuming the Ethernet or WiFi interface is configured using DHCP. However, if the interface is manually configured then the kSCPropNetIPv4Router property doesn't seem to exist!
I have a sample program which illustrates this and scutil seems to show the same thing.
Any help?

Hp usb ethernet adapter

Does anyone know what chipset is in the hp usb ethernet adapter MFG# XZ613AA#ABA?
OR, where I can find a usb ethernet adapter with an intel chipset?
Any help greatly appreciated! I have a Twincat x64 program that only supports intel NICs, and it only works sporadicaly in virtual mode.
Oh yea, HP 630 notebook, Windows 7, Realtek ethernet adapter.
Thanks again!

If the adapter works with the printer, and you can get a recent and proper
driver from the HP support or downloads page, it should be able to print.
And there may be alternative drivers from gimp-print open source.
There also are powered ethernet hubs you can get, so all things ethernet
can be run from the main port on the computer and not be underpowered.
In fact, I have one in a box I don't use just yet because I can run my Epson
printer via USB over my AirPort Express (or AirPort Extreme) base station
and then the other printer, an all-in-one HP OfficeJet something, can run by
wire; since it won't work as a Bonjour printer and isn't seen as an option.
Some are supported and others may be conditionally able to work in these
different situations; so you may have to change your plans if a powered
Ethernet bridge, or whatever, becomes a second option; or other ideas fail.
The options include using the printer as USB, ethernet, or wireless; and
the latter may include the need to choose a compatible wireless bridge
or a wired Ethernet powered hub. And then seeing if you can get the
printer setup to see the printer when configured in whatever selection
or setup you've chosen to use can be equally ufn (unfun.)
If I wanted to run the HP I have by ethernet, it could do it; but you have to
note these things get an ID like the internet, sort of, if you use Ethernet.
Some adapters work and others may not; so it could be a hit & miss trial.
And some say there are advantages to the Ethernet if used on a network.
Good luck & happy computing!

Road Runner Cable - Windows 7, 32 bit - WRT54G v5 (Manually configuring without Linksys CD)

Hello,
My sister recently got a new computer with Windows 7 and has switched from DSL to Cable. How do I go about helping her manually configure the WRT54G v5?  She cannot find the setup CD. Support tells me that this model is no longer under warranty and eligible for chat support. Support also said the setup CD is not compatible with Windows 7; however, the Window 7 compatibility page says "This product installs automatically without extra software."   Any help would be greatly appreciated. I guess there will be two steps: getting the wireless router to work on her new desktop and then how to allow a laptop to connect wirelessly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, John

Welcome to the linksys forum, please follow the instructions below.
1. Make sure that the Cable Modem is connected to the router and computer:
    * Cable Modem >> Linksys Router >> Computer
Step 1
Cable that comes into the home will get connected to the Cable Modem
Step 2
Connect an Ethernet cable to the back of the cable Modem
Step 3
Take the Ethernet cable from the Cable Modem and connect it to the "Internet Port" on back of the Linksys Router.
Step 4
Connect another Ethernet cable to Port #1 on back of the Linksys Router.
Step 5
Now connect the Ethernet Cable from Port #1 to the Ethernet port on back of your computer.
The Physical setup is now complete.
Being that you used the Linksys Router before with the DSL setup, you will need to "Reset" the Linksys Router. Locate the "Reset Button" on back of the Linksys Router and push it in for 30 seconds, this will set the router back to the factory settings. You will need a pen or paper clip to press down on the Reset Button.
Note: This factory reset will erase all previous settings.
Linksys Setup Page:
To access the Setup page, follow the steps below:
1. Open Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1 into the Address Bar at the top of Internet Explorer and press the Enter Key.
2. Once you type in 192.168.1.1 and press the enter key you will get a Linksys pop-up sign-in box.
3. Here are the default sign-in choices:
    A) UserName = Leave this field blank (do not type in anything)
    B) Password = admin
OR
    A) UserName = admin
    B) Password = admin
You should now be at the Linksys Setup Page (Basic Setup)
Below are the settings for the Cable setup.
Internet Connection Type = Automatic Configuration-DHCP is selected.
MTU = AUTO
Router IP = 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Note : Make sure that you now scroll to the bottom or the page and click on "Save settings".
4. Now click on the Mac Address Clone sub tab and:
     A) Choose the Enable setting
     B) Now click on "Clone your PC's MAC Address"
     C) Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on "Save Settings"
Close out of this page and try to connect to the Internet.
Wireless setup: (Access the setup page again by typing 192.168.1.1 into IE and type in the password "admin", Unless you have changed it).
Part 1
1.Click on the Wireless Tab and you will be at "Basic Wireless Settings. Please make sure that you have these 4 settings set-up.
A) Wireless Network Mode: Set this to the mode that your network is using = G, N, or Mixed
B) Wireless Network Name (SSID): Please choose a Name other than Linksys (which is the default), this will allow you to identify your network from your neighbors network.
C) Wireless Channel: Channel's 1, 6, and 11 are best but you can try others to see what works best for you.
D) Wireless SSID Broadcast: Please set this to Enable.
Now go to the bottom of the Linksys Setup Page and click on Save Settings.
Part 2
1. Now click on the sub-tab Wireless Security, here there will be 4 settings to setup as well.
A) Security Mode: WPA Personal = TKIP+AES
                  WPA2 Personal = AES
B) WPA Algorithms: If you choose WPA then choose TKIP+AES
                   If you choose WPA2 then choose AES
C) WPA Shared Key: Choose at least a combination of 8 or more letters/numbers.
D) Group Key Renewal: this will remain at 3600
Now go to the bottom of the Linksys Setup Page and click on Save Settings.
Once the above settings have been set and saved you can close out of the linksys setup page and perform a Power-Cycle:
Power Cycling: (Only if you are having a problem connecting to the Internet)
    Step 1:
    Shutdown the computer.
    Step 2:
    Unplug the router’s power cable.
    Step 3:
    Unplug the ISP modem’s power cable and wait for 30 seconds.
    Step 4:
    Plug in the ISP modem’s power cable and wait for its lights to appear stable.
    Step 5:
    Plug in the router's power cable once the modem’s lights appear stable.
    Step 6:
    Power on the computer and test the wireless Internet connection.
Have a good day and hope all goes well.
