Using Leopard with Virgin media cable modem?

I want to upgrade to Leopard from Tiger.
I'm trying to find out if it is supported by my Virgin cable modem. It is the standard Virgin media one, via ethernet.
I can't find any information about Mac OSX systems on their site - what's new? And I'm waiting for a response from them via email. in the meantime, I thought I'd check here to see if anyone knows.

It should work fine provided you connect via Ethernet and not USB, as chances are there are no Mac drivers for the USB connection

  • WRT54GL with Virgin Media cable

    Hopefully someone here can advise.  My setup at home currently consists of a desktop computer connected to two laptops via Devolo powerline adapters.  The desktop effectively runs as an internet server.  The Virgin cable modem crashes on a fairly regular basis and it has been suggested that switching from a usb connection to an ethernet connection for the modem would be faster and more stable.  Since I'd quite like to connect a Nintendo Wii to the internet as well, I'm considering getting a router.  I'm considering the WRT54GL.
    The plan is to connect the Scientific Atlanta Webstar cable modem, desktop PC and Devolo adapter to the router via ethernet cables.  This should (?) allow the two laptops to connect to the internet through the router via the Devolo adapter and the Wii could then be connected via a WiFi connection.
    Can anyone see anything wrong with this plan?  I'm not all that familiar with networking so I don't know if I'm missing anything.
    All feedback welcomed.

    Everything is seems to be right here...Just make sure that the Powerline Adapter should have it's own dedicated Power source.The router will not transmit the power to the Powerline Adapter as these routers are not POE routers.

  • I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine. When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect. What do I need to do?

    I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine.
    When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
    I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
    What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

    You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

  • Using BT Big Button 100 with Virgin Media 1571 ans...

    Hi there -
    We are looking at getting the BT Big Button 100 for my elderly in-laws but need to find out if the 1571 shortcut button on it will work with the Virgin Media answering service, instead of BT's own? (they have a Virgin Media package for phone, TV and broadband) I cannot find any number to call to get advice from BT directly and the user guide does not really confirm if the button works in exactly the same way with other non-BT answer services. Has anyone here actually done this successfully? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
    Deb.

    The button will be programmed to dial 1571 so if Virgin use this for their service it should work. If they use a different no. For voicemail it may be possible to reprogram the button. See if you can find a user manual on the phone on the BT site.

  • Using a configured AX with a different cable modem

    This is probably a dumb question but here goes:
    I will be traveling shortly and will be staying in a home with High Speed Internet via cable. However, there is no wireless network as the cable modem is connected to the owners computer using an ethernet cable.
    If I take my AX with me and connect it to the modem in the house via an ethernet cable, will I be able to use my current wireless network settings without having to establish a new network?
    It seems to me that I should be able to do this but I am not really certain.
    Thanks for your help

    If I take my AX with me and connect it to the modem in the house via an ethernet cable, will I be able to use my current wireless network settings without having to establish a new network?
    If you connect to a cable modem now, you should not need to change any settings on the AX. But, you will need to completely reset the cable modem at the home before you connect the AX to it.
    Push the reset button on the cable modem (if available)
    Power it off immediately and power down the AX
    Pull the battery (if easily accessible)
    Wait at least 15-20 minutes
    Connect the AX to the modem with an ethernet cable
    Power up the modem by itself and let it run a few moments
    Then power up the AX the same way
    Then power up computers and devices the same way.
    You'll have to completely reset the modem again when you disconnect the AX in order for the modem to recognize the owner's computer.
    In other words, whenever the device that is connected to a cable modem changes, you have to completely reset the modem first, or it will not associate with the new device.

  • TC: Compatible with Virgin Media (UK) ??

    Hi guys,
    Just got connected to Virgin Media with their phone, internet and cable TV package. Works fine but would like to buy a Time Capsule for the house and am wondering if the Time Capsule can replace the Netgear router supplied by Virgin Media.
    Currently there is a co-axial cable from the wall that is split and connects to the TV box and the riuter. Can this router be replaced by Time Capsule and if so how can I adapt the cable to work with Time Capsule?
    Regards,
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    I have just replaced my netgear router with the TC (also have virgin media) and all works fine - but my setup sounds a little different from yours. My co-axial cable went into a modem first, then an ethernet cable from the modem into the router. If your co-axial cable goes straight into your router, it must be a combined modem and router. Then I am afraid I cannot help you out.
    Hope you get it sorted out

  • Cannot send email from iPad & iPhone with Virgin Media

    I cannot send emails from my iPad and iPhone. I have a virginmedia.com address and I can receive but just cannot send. A message keeps saying the smpt settings are wrong. However, I have followed the tutorial on Virgin Media web site (this is how I managed to start receiving emails on my devices) but still not sending. I have looked at the settings in my MacBook Pro and all seem to be correct. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? I had a similar problem when I loaded Microsoft Office 365 for Mac; I had to end up calling Virgin Media (useless) and then Microsoft (useful). Anyhow I have looked at the settings on the Mac and they all seem to correspond with the ipad and iphone but still cannot send emails. V V Frustrated.
    Thanks for reading.

    Then make sure that the settings are correct in your email account.
    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • Using Airparrot with an ethernet cable: suddenly, it quit

    I live in a large apartment using a collective server and router.  When I moved in a month ago, the only way I could access my Apple TV 3 from my MacBookPro (late 2009), running Snow Leopard and using the third party Airparrot to transmit, was to connect the Apple TV device and my laptop with an ethernet cable.
    (I had done this back in the USA, as an experiment; it worked there, so I tried it here.)
    With the cable plugged in, Apple TV automatically cut over to mirror my desktop and audio. When I pulled out the cable, Apple TV switched back to whatever I was watching via the WiFi.  Fantastic, if a bit messy cablewise.
    However, a week ago, something -- Airparrot suggests an automatic software update -- nudged the Apple TV's small brain and now it refuses to display what's happening on my computer when I plug in the cable. Instead, tells me it's now off the WiFi network.  It becomes obsessed with getting back on and won't mirror what Airparrot is transmitting.
    I reset and reclaimed the 5.2.1 software OS per Airparrot's advice.  But it didn't solve the problem.
    What's happening here?  Airparrot says the problem lies in the Apple TV software.  Apple says the WiFi/Ethernet switch is built into the Apple TV design and that's just the way it is.  All I know is, it was working before -- for three weeks I watched on the TV set what was displaying on my laptop, using the cable to connect my MBP and the Apple TV device.
    Now I can't watch my favorite BBC shows (accessed via a VPN) on the TV screen, where they belong.  Bummer.  Any help understanding what's happening, or better yet, how to work around it, would be appreciated.

    I discovered my own answer.  Having recabled my MBP with the Apple TV using an Ethernet cable,  I went into System Preferences/Sharing and enabled Internet Sharing.  From the drop-down menu, I chose Airport (thought it could be any modality in System Preferences/Network) and checked the box for Ethernet.  Went back to Airparrot and System Preferences/Sound to make sure Apple TV was picked as target and audio was enabled.  Now it mirrors my desktop and audio, via Ethernent cable.   All I have to do to switch back to WiFi Apple TV.  Works like a charm.  Whenever you need a direct link for mirroring, this way is easy and reliable.

  • Does anyone know how to connect to wireless internet using a Hitron CVE-30360 cable modem. My Macbook doesn't even see the network?

    I just received my cable modem from Hitron and I am unable to connect to it. My phone and other computers and see it as a wireless network but my Macbook doesn't even show it a network that I can connect to. It is totally invisible to my Macbook. Can anyone help with this?

    Assuming "BellSouth" uses the same procedure as "SBCGlobal", which are now both ATT/Yahoo, as far as I know:
    Take router from box. Connect to power outlet and phone outlet.
    Take Ethernet cable, plug one end into the router's jack marked LAN, plug other end into your computer's Ethernet jack.
    Point your Web browser to 192.168.1.1 (enter this into your browser's address bar, actual address might vary, check your router's documentation.)
    A Web form will appear. Set router to PPPoE, if necessary. Enter the user name your ISP gave you. Enter the password.
    Watch all the lights on your router go green.
    Or, if the router is already set up, since you used it with your Dell laptop previously:
    Take Ethernet cable, plug one end into the router's jack marked LAN, plug other end into your computer's Ethernet jack. Done.
    The second from the left is your Ethernet jack:

  • Trouble with Mac and Cable Modem

    Every time I turn on my Mac I have to reboot my modem. I have to unplug every cable and leave for a few minutes before I can hook everything back up. Sometimes I even have to plug my modem into a different cable outlet to reset it. Is this an issue with my internet cable provider or do I need to adjust a setting on my Mac. This is has become very aggravating and any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ben.

    I am having the same issue I think. I have a Motorola hooked up to my Airport Extreme. The last 5 mornings I haven't been able to access the internet. Yesterday I went and checked the lights on the front of the modem and noticed that only the top 2 were lit- the third one blinked. So I reset the modem. Worked fine the rest of the day. This morning I booted up my MBP and same thing. Looked at the lights- the third light is just blinking. Called Comcast and they checked. Said my modem was 'offline' and not connecting. Said that it had gone bad- I suspected so. Not too long ago we had to replace the old Apple router with a new one so I was guessing that the modem was bad and they confirmed it. So I will be shopping for a new one. FYI- reset the modem again this morning after talking to Comcast and it's working fine. Just thought I'd chime in. Judy

  • Trouble connecting AEBS with Cox & Motorola cable modem

    I am able to set up my new AEBS however I cannot connect to internet. I am told via Airport Utility that I have set up correctly and have the steady green light and the wireless connection however it just won't pick up the Internet. I've called my ISP Cox Communications and they told me it's an issue w/my router. I noticed a similar problem in discussion boards with Comcast and followed the same instructions and it did not resolve. I've tried to power off cable modem for 10 sec, 2 min and 10 min and just no luck. I immediately plug back in my Linksys router and am able to connect to internet just fine.
    Anyone know what to do?

    Power off your cable modem for at leat 10 HOURS! Cox like every other ISP "caches" the MAC address of your router. The only way to "reset" this and allow a new MAC address to be accepted, is to turn off the cable modem overnight for 8-10 hours.
    Some routers have the ability to "clone" a previous router MAC address, therefore not requiring the above process, but the AEBSn does NOT have this capability.

  • Assistance with registering a cable modem.

    Hi all,
    Im hoping someone can assist me. I've been trying to register my cable modem for the past week after moving new address. Though i can register the modem and have waited the reguired 1 hour i keep getting the registration page.
    I thought i woudl check the event logs on the cable modem and noticed the last event shows:
    Time Priority Description
    Time Not Established Warning (5) DHCP WARNING - Non-critical field invalid in response ;CM-MAC=*removed*;CMTS-MAC=*removed*;CM-QOS=1.0;CM-VER=3.0;
    Time Not Established Notice (6) Honoring MDD; IP provisioning mode = IPv4
    The MAC address mentioned in the above event logs is correct but appears that something needs to be updated from Telstras side.
    Is there something else that needs to be done?
     

    Hey iborg,
    I've removed the MAC listed in your post for security. 
    If this is continually giving your the registration portal it could be an issue with the back end. We'd need to investigate this for you. If you haven't already, give us a call on 133933 or speak to LiveChat: http://tel.st/gq6m. We can look into this.

  • How do I set up emails! I am on O2 and with virgin media

    How do I set up emails, I am on 02 and with virgin media

    emails is a separate service from
    Internet and phone service
    even if you have those 2 covered you will need to
    setup the e-mail service even if it's from the same providers
    that bring you internet and or phone service
    so the answer to your question comes down to what
    e-mail provider you're using and if your setup your ios correctly
    to receive and send emails over their network

  • Use Leopard with my TWO MAC's?

    I have two MAC's - a desktop for home and a notebook for travel. I have the same OS X (10.4.11) on both now. I'm not familiar (yet) with OS X 10.5, but can I buy one copy and install it on both of my MAC's?

    Robert,
    The EULA for the Leopard 10.5 Retail Package states that it is for one machine only. If you are looking to use Leopard on more than one machine, please consider purchasing the Leopard 10.5 Retail Family Package.
    Thanks
    Chris
