USB networking cable

Actually, I've got difficulty to use the
AJZaurusUSB-0.5.3.tgz driver. After installation, I can 't see the new
network interface in the ifconfig result. I 've got a
IBook 900 Mhz, with MAC OS 10.4.11. I would to use a
USB networking cable, and I thought AJZaurusUSB is the
good driver to mount the new network interface on the
system. I tried this one too but it desn't work :

May be there is a special command I have to know
Thanks for your help

Hi, dubis, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Apple does not regard USB as a viable networking protocol, and does not support it. You would be much more likely to succeed by networking your iBook through its Ethernet port and forgetting about the USB adapter. If you are determined to use the adapter, consult its maker's or Sustainable Softworks' tech support for advice.

  • "Network cable unplugged" for iPhone 5 USB Tethering

    I've upgraded to Windows 8 64-bit and want to use the iPhone 5 as my main wireless USB dongle and I've had this problem since Windows 7 where, no matter what I do, the Apple Mobile Device Ethernet comes up as "Network cable unplugged".
    I've unplugged and plugged it back in, reinstalled iTunes, reset the network settings on the phone, made sure everythings up to date and reset the service in Windows to no avail.
    Any suggestions on this one?

  • Can I set up MF4770n with BOTH usb cable AND network cable to router?

    My MF4770n is connected to desktop pc with usb cable. Can I also add the network cable to router capability so that my laptops can access the printer through my home network? Or, do I need to uninstall the printer and run setup all over? I know that I can just "share" the desktop printer. But I would like access to it when the desktop pc is asleep. Thanks.

    It is possibile to have both.  It is not the best.  Pick one or the other.

  • Using an airport extreme as a repeater with the use of a network cable

    My network now is like this: cablemodem with built in router-->switch-->time machine set as bridge --> imac and macbookpro wirelesly connected. Printer is on the usb port of the time machine.
    Since i live in a big house with a loth of steel and stone i need to extend the range of my wireless network. I have tried this with an old "b/g airport express" set as an extender "join existing network". Well this does not work. Anyway i am considering to buy an "airport extreme n" i have a network cable on every floor of my home. For me it would be logic to connect the time machine by using a network cable in to a lanport of the extreme and then configuring the extreme as an extender. Before i buy the extreme i would like to now if this would work! I am a little reluctant because it does not seem to work at all with my old express b/g airport(and i used the cairport config manager in the wright way) , altough if i use it to make a new wireless network and connect it with a networkcable to my switch it works perfectly!?
    Thanks for any information in advance.

    FWIW, to provide wireless coverage throughout my two-story home, I use a wired Cisco router as my main Internet router which then "feeds" an Ethernet network to each room on both floors. In the downstair family room and in an upstairs office, I have connected an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) to these Ethernet runs. Overall, I have configured the routers for a "roaming" type network and can literally walk a wireless laptop from room-to-room throughout the house and still be on the "same" wireless network.
    ... so what you are proposing should work just fine.

  • Will a desktop connected to a wireless router via network cable be able to use a wireless printer?

    My computer is a Dell runing XP home edition. This computer is connected via a network cable to the wireless router.
    My deskjet 4580 printer is connected to the wireless router network and printing and scanning via wireless network with a laptop that is connected to the network wireless.
    Now I want to print and scan using the desktop computer also. Should I install the wireless driver for the printer? Do I need to connect the printer with USB cable with my desktop computer?
    Please help.  I do not want to disturb the laptop that can print and scan wirelessly with the printer.
    Thanks.

    if the printer is connected to the router wired, then the router is the hub, so you should just need to install the driver for the printer in the machine that is not working.
    If you install the full feature driver to the printer on the computer you want to print via wired to the router to the printer that should work. Run this too:

  • USB Computer Cable for the mini

    I recently discovered that I have misplaced my USB computer cable for my Ipod mini. Before I purchase another one, I need to know that the one that is listed on the accessories site is compatible with my mini. When it listed what it was compatible with, it listed every one but the mini. Please let me know before I spend 20 dollars on a new one.
    Thanks!

    Mine is doing the exact same problem!
    Ever since I rented a movie from itunes with the ATV connected to the internet via wireless (strong signal) from an airport extreme connected to my modem from charter communications (with about 30Mbps speed) it will suddenly stop and by stop I mean it leaves the movie completely and says YOUR APPLE TV IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET.
    So if I go to my network in the apple tv menu, sure enough my wireless network is missing. But the ipad is finding it, and the imac on wireless is finding it, and it is working. So we hit restart on the apple tv. When it comes back all is good. Then maybe the movie runs ten minutes and it does it again.
    In some cases the wireless network reappears but if I select it it still says I'm not connected to the internet.
    I have to restart everytime or it will not properly reconnect to the internet or find my wireless net work and actually work and connect.
    It has been connected in the same place for a year and never had an issue.
    Nothing has changed..... I have not added a wall to cause interference....
    My iPad and iPhone show FULL strength.
    Please help!

  • Sizzle, Cracking sound near Network Cable or Mag Power Connector?

    I've had my new Macbook for about two months now. This morning, for the second time, when booting, there is a loud (volume as loud as loading a CD into the drive) crackling, Sizzling type of sound coming which appears near the magnetic power input. Both times this has occurred, it has lasted for about 30 seconds, I did pull out the power cable, the network cable, all USB connectors and the sound didn't go away.
    Sounds like a shortwave or A.M. radio on an untuned station, starts as a crackle, then more of a static sound, which generally increases in volume to a maxiumum (for about 30 seconds), then shuts off.
    I've only noticed this twice on a cold boot after the MB was powered down overnight.
    Anybody else have this type of experience?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    It sounds like you may have accidently frayed the power cable. My FAQ* has good reference links for you to determine if this is the case:

  • Z77A-GD65 Ethernet Problems "Network Cable Disconnected"

    I've been running a Z77A-GD65 and have been having network problems with the onboard ethernet. Every time I go to play a game online I'll play for about 10-15 minutes and I'll be disconnected. When I'm back on the desktop, my ethernet icon on the taskbar will show "network cable disconnected" even though everything is plugged in fine. Fiddling with the cable or changing the cable does nothing. Reboot the machine and it's working fine until again I play a game for 10 or 15 minutes and the same thing happens.
    First, the card was showing the wrong MAC address as specified in the MSI FAQ for this mobo. Performed the fix but the problem is persisting. Tried the MSI driver and the newer Intel one. One time I got a "Code 10" error as posted in another thread and again, wouldn't correct itself until I rebooted.
    This only happens when I'm playing games. Web surfing or downloads work fine and my connection won't be disconnected until about 10-15 minutes into playing an online game.
    I put in another discrete Intel network card and that worked fine. No problems. Same with plugging in a USB wifi adapter (my current temporary solution). Therefore, I'm thinking it's an issue with the onboard ethernet or driver. Anyone else with this problem or how to resolve it? Using the latest v10.5 MSI BIOS.

    Removing the Asus Xonar did not help.
    Re-flashed the BIOS as well using a DOS boot USB key instead of M-Flash. Readjusted all setting to default. Enabled/disabled "Network Stack" in the BIOS (what is this supposed to do anyhow? It's undocumented).
    Wiped all drivers for this network adapter and re-installed the current ones from MSI's website. No change.
    Noticed that the adapter would correctly run at gigabit full-duplex when set to auto-negitiate. However, it would drop down to 10mbps before it finally showed "cable disconnected". Plugging and unplugging the cable did nothing until I reboot, then it would work again... until I ran a game online and it would disconnect after 10-15 minutes of play. Ran the Intel cable test and it was fine (and the cable and internet has been fine when used in conjunction with another discrete PCI-e Intel card).
    Re-crimped the ends to be sure. Tested again and the cable connection is good. Yes I know how to crimp ethernet so please don't suggest anything being wrong with the cable.
    I've pretty well nailed down that it is an issue with the onboard ethernet. I've read on Intel forums about problems with this chip on Asus boards. Hopefully an MSI employee can point me in a direction that could help, or at least have the problem resolved in a future BIOS update.

  • Network Cable unplugged

    I have BT Total Broadband Anywhere Home Hub 2. I have used it successfully on my desktop pc and wirelessly with my laptop. However I went away for 2 months and was unable to use either (everything was switched off whilst away).  On my return the laptop can't connect at all, I just get two grey monitors with a red X and the information 'A Network Cable is unplugged'. I bought  a netbook when away and am having the same problem with that now.
    On the laptop that worked before, on my Network Connections it is showing as follows:
    Local Area Connection 2
    Network cable unplugged
    Broadcom 440 x 10/100 Integrated Controller
    1394 Connection 2
    Connected
    1394 Net Adapter #2
    I have tried connecting to the Hub with an ethernet cable without success and when I run the Hub Manager on the laptop it just says it can't connect with the hub. When I run the Hub Manager on my desktop it says there is no wireless device detected.
    A check on the laptops device manager hardware shows everything as working properly, but when I try the Wireless WLAN configuration utility in Control Panel it tells me there are currently no wireless adapters available and enabled.
    I am getting desperate as I cannot sit at the desktop for any length of time and need the laptop, please can anyone help?

    Hi, the devices you have mentioned are the 'wired' connections.  On most laptops, there are switched you can press to turn on and off wireless, is it posisble this has been done?
    You can check to see if 'wireless network' appears by selecting the Start Button, then click on Control Panel and open, you should see 'Network' (doing this by memory) and open that up, you will see Wired Lan and Wireless Lan.
    If Wireless Lan is disabled, you can right click on wireless lan and enable it, that should work.

  • Equium M50 will not recognise the LAN port - error: Network Cable unplugged

    I own a Toshiba Equium M50 and have problems with the Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller.
    I used to connect via an 'ADDON' Modem/ADSL Switch and had no problems. I then replaced the ADDON with a 'NETGEAR' DG834G ADSL Modem/Router to gain the wireless port, and since then my machine will not recognise the LAN port. <error: Network Cable unplugged>.
    I know that the cables are OK as I used them with other laptops and had no trouble. I can also plug in a PCI card to connect without any problems. It looks to me as if the Marvell Yukon 88E8036 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller has a problem with the netgear Modem/Router.
    Anyone out there with a similar experience and some advice/suggestions?
    PLEASE

    Hi
    For me it doesnt show like a LAN card problem but your router is a problem.
    Check the device manager if the LAN card was properly recognized. If there are no yellow exclamation marks so everything is ok!
    You can try to delete the LAN card from the device manager and after new reboot install the LAN driver again.
    The issue has stared after installing or connecting the new Netgear modem router.
    Therefore I would recommend to checking firstly the settings or to update the firmware on this router.

  • Connecting Windows XP to Airport Error: "Network Cable Unplugged"

    Situation: Having bought a new computer I gave my old Airport Extreme (a model I bought about 4-5 years ago; one of the white pointy dome ones) to a friend, and attempted to set up their network. My goal was to connect the apple computers (one 2.16GHz iMac and a titanium macbook) to a wireless connection, and then connect their old wireless-less PC with WIndows XP to the airport with an ethernet cable.
    Problem: The wireless network works fine for the Macs, but when I connect the Airport to the PC with the ethernet cable it says "Network Cable Unplugged", and doesn't connect to the internet. I have swapped the cables, so I know that they're fine, and before I attempted all this the computer was corrected straight to the modem through the same port and worked fine, so it's not the port, either.
    Also, I don't think it's the ethernet port on the airport, as I was using it last week with an iMac and it was working fine. But on this I'm not entirely sure. Right now I have the cable from the modem going to the Airport port with the broken-dot circle, and the cable to the pc coming out of the (only other) ethernet port (with the sign <->). If I swap the ports used (with the modem going into the <-> port) the PC works, but the wireless drops out. So that's no good.
    The PC is using Windows XP, which is quite foreign to me, so I don't know the tricks. I haven't found any other threads on here with a similar problem, so if anyone could give me some advice as to how to fix this it would be greatly appreciated!

    By a "128 bit password," I assume that you mean that you have the AirPort Express (AX) set with WEP encryption...correct? ...and that the Mac is connecting to the Internet without any problems...correct?
    If you turn off encryption, can the PC access the Internet thru the AX?
