Using Airport and Ethernet at the same time

I know that variations of this question have been posted already, but I think my problem is slightly different.
In our studio we have a printer connected to our Macs via a wired Ethernet LAN. We access the internet via Airport using a seperate Mac (not on the LAN) which is set up as a Software Base Station. We would like to be able to print directly from the internet without having to switch between networks. I've tried rearranging the order of the networks in the Network Port Configuration window in System Prefs but each time we try to print we get the message that Apple Talk is disabled (which it's definitely not), and that's as far as we get.
Any suggestions as to how we might solve this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Jason.

The solution is to use a dedicated wireless access point instead of the using the Mac as a software base station. The Mac acting as a base station is placing the wireless clients on a separate subnet.

    OK great info!
    I found 2 possible ethernet to USB adapters:
    By "Plugable":  USB 2.0 to ethernet LAN wired network adapter - seems this will work, but I'll contact Plugable.
    2. Apple USB Ethernet Adapter
    Easily connect your MacBook Air computer to an Ethernet network with the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. Small and light, it connects to the USB 2.0 port of your MacBook Air and provides an RJ-45 connector that supports 10/100BASE-T performance.  BUT NOT SURE IF THIS WILL WORK ON ANYTHING BUT a MacBook Air…
    One person commented: 
    This little gem used to be the device of choice for adding a second Ethernet interface to a Mac Mini Server and I'd been using one that way for about a year. After doing a software update to 10.6.6 it stopped working. Forewarned is forearmed – it appears that Apple is finally enforcing the MacBook Air system requirement.
    Thanks for any additional comments.

  • IP over Firewire and ethernet at the same time?

    Is it possible to use both IP over Firewire and ethernet at the same time?
    I want to use my TB hard drive attached to one Mac via Firewire 800 to backup another Mac also attached to the same drive via Firewire 800. I can only mount the drive on one machine at a time so I need to share it out to the other Mac. It works great if I set it up to do strait IP over Firewire, with static IPs, but that means I can't connect to the internet because my ethernet connection on both machines becomes the secondary connection method. Similarly, if ethernet is primary then I can't connect via Firewire. Is there a way to set it up so the Macs will know which method to use depending on the IP address?
    I am using 10.5.1 on both machines.
    G5, 1.8 GHz, 15.GB RAM
    MBP, 2.4 GHz, 4GB RAM
    Thanks!

    Certainly.
    In the network control panel I set Built-in FireWire to the top of the service order list, followed by Built-in Ethernet.
    Next, I set Built-in FireWire to Configure Manually with the address 192.168.1.xxx and the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.xxx, making sure the Subnet Mask is set the same on both machines and that the IP address is different on both machines and different from the Built-in Ethernet addresses.
    I applied the settings, turned on Sharing on both machines, then mounted whatever shared drives I needed by connecting to the other machine using the FireWire IP address.
    Now I am able to share drives using FireWire 800 - which works great when used with Time Machine - and still use my normal ethernet to surf, etc..

  • I cannot use data and voice at the same time.

    I cannot use data and voice at the same time.
    I am on Wifi (connected) and at the same time I am on a voice call. when I switch to my RSS feed reader it does not sync it comes out with a message cannot connect to internet, I thought it is a problem with the feed reader application, IE 10 behaves the same I cannot browse when I am on a voice call.
    This is a very basic issue, am I missing something? Please help.

  • Can we use exceptions and conditions at the same time?

    can we use exceptions and conditions at the same time? Are there any dependencies between exceptions an conditions?

    Exceptions are used when there are some mistakes , or exceeds the supposed values, we can highligt that in different colours for enabling the validator to notice easily. In this we are giving conditions for considering the value as exceptions. suppose, if the values is out of the range -1 to +1 then exception.
    But conditions can be considered as the restrictions given in measure level also. So please elaborate what you meant by conditions

  • My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

    Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
    The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
    In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
    I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
    But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
    Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
    please help, thx.

    If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
    Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
    Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    Another option:
    Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
    --> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
    = You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).

  • Ipod nano (5th generation) - want to use headphones and charge at the same time

    I have an ipod nano (5th generation).  Do I need a special set of headphones to use the headphone jack and charge the ipod at the same time?

    The iPod nanos have a 30 pin dock connector and a headphone jack. When you charge the iPod you use the dock connector therefore you can use and charge at the same time. You cannot use and charge the iPod shuffle at the same time. You might have the two mixed up.

  • Can WRT54G use WPA and WEP at the same time?

    I used to have a smc 802.11b wireless router and a dlink 802.11b wireless print server.
    In order to have WPA and a firewall, I replaced the wireless router with a linksys WRT54G.
    Then I realize the dlink print server, even though it has the "g" keyword in the model name, does not do WPA (DP-G321).
    Do I have to buy a 802.11g wireless print server? Or is there another solution?
    I don't supposed the linksys router can do both WPA and WEP at the same time?
    Connecting the print server to the router with a cable is not feasible. They are on different floors.

    both of your devices are has a wireless b technology settings, just set a wep encryption on your network rather than wpa because some wireless b devices don;t work with wpa. with regards to your query if wep and wpa can be used at the same time, the answer is no.

  • Using LIKE and IN at the same time

    Is it possible to use both LIKE and IN at the same time such as:
    select first_name from emp where user_id LIKE IN('1%','2%')

    Or consider the IN - parameters as a string. Then you can do the following:

  • Airport Snow Network and Ethernet at the same time?

    Here's the setup. I've got a new Intel MacMini (10.4.6), G4 Sawtooth (10.3.9), iBook G3 and a Dell all using wireless on the Airport Snow router. I'm in the process of moving files over from the Sawtooth to the Mini. The Sawtooth and the Mini are within 2 feet of each other.
    Would I get better file transfer speed with a Ethernet crossover cable between them rather than the wireless network? Can I use the hard wire connection and the wireless connection via the router at the same time?
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes

    The Mac will use one OR the other if they are both connected.

  • Can we use CS6 and CC at the same time on different machines?

    We have a Creative Cloud subscription and have software downloaded to an iMac and also to a PC. I understand that we can't use the applications on both machines at the same time, but could one of my colleagues use the CS6 versions at the same time on the PC?

    Hi Carol
    A subscription to Creative Cloud gives you access to the CC version and the CS6 version of the software.  From the original question, it seemed to me that they were asking if they can share the subscription between 2 colleagues if one used the CC version and the other used the CS6 version.  That is not permitted as the subscription is licensed to one user.
    If you have a Creative Cloud subscription and a perpetual license for CS6 then you can use them concurrently on 2 machines as they are separate licenses.
    Does this help clarify?
    Thanks

  • Using gps and phone at the same time

    I am using the S6, great phone however I noticed today that I cannot use GPS (Waze app) and be on the phone at the same time.
    Is this really the case or am I missing something? I previously had the Galaxy S3 and I did not have an issue with this.
    Please tell me this is just a setting issue not an issue with the phone.

  • Can't use Skype and PhotoBooth at the same time?

    I recently updated my Skype to the new version. I used to be able to have my camera on PhotoBooth and Skype working at the same time, however since I made the update I cannot. Depending on which programme I open first, the other will not work. If Skype is working, then the error message 'Camera offline' comes up. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Skype and that has not solved the issue. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

  • Can't use iPhone and Mail at the same time

    When my iPhone is on I can't receive Apple Mail on my computer. I get an error message on the computer that says another client is using the mail (or something to that effect). If I turn off the iPhone the error message usually disappears on my computer allowing me to access mail. Is there something I can do so I can keep my iPhone on and also get Apple Mail at the same time?
