Want to connect MacBook Pro to the internet via ethernet cable for the first time?

I Plugg the cable for Ethernet> Then I type my IP adress> don't know what to type in these blanks:
Subnet Mask, Router
What DNS?
I want to plug the cable for Ethernet then see the internet work?

We cannot answer your questions.. and the method looks wrong.. why are you doing it manually.. just use dhcp and see if it works.
There is hardly a modem or router out there that doesn't have dhcp setup for automatic setups.
If it is manual then there is no way we can give you the values..
They are determined 100% by the network you plug the computer into.. and the setting of that network.
Tell us more if you supply modem router.. and ISP info and why it is not working with dhcp we might be able to help further.

    No.  Go to an Apple store, and it will have a schedule of training seminars.  If you have a quick question, you can make an appointment with a Genius.  Finally, actually the first thing you should have done, you should familiarize yourself with the online documentation and videos.

  • Macbook Pro suddenly will not connect to the internet via ethernet cable.

    I know this is a long shot... but I figured I would give it a try.
    My macbook pro suddenly does not connect to the internet via ethernet cable. Please bear with me, as I am not very tech-savvy - I will try my best to describe the symptoms!
    I connect to the internet via ethernet (we don't have wifi). It was working before I went to work, and when I came home I suddenly couldn't get anything to work (I know everyone says this, but I truly didn't mess with anything). Internet browsers just think for awhile and then turn up the 'You are not connected to the internet' error.
    I went into my network preferences and curiously, the 'Ethernet' shows a green dot and says 'connected'. However it says 'Authentication server is not responding' underneath the last part that says '802.1X: WPA: eduroam' (I think that is my user profile).
    When I go into my 'security' settings I can see that my firewall is off, so that shouldn't be causing any problems.
    I've tried restarting the router and computer itself many times. Diagnostics just gets to a certain point and reports back 'Network Diagnostics cannot fix the current networking problems.' I've also tried switching to a different ethernet cable, and I tried both cables out on a PC laptop and it connected without issue.  Additionally, I brought my macbook along to a friend's house and it connected to his wifi just fine, so the problem appears to just be with ethernet connections.
    I know it's hard to troubleshoot this kind of thing without being there and having a look at the computer yourself, but any tips wouild be greatly appreciated.

    As I mentioned above, I am not very tech savvy so I have no idea why a wireless protocol would be showing up there, I'm just listing everything I see in hopes that someone might know something I can try. This is why I am asking for help here - I'm not sure what has happened that has made me unable to connect, especially since it seemingly occured while nobody was using the computer.
    I guess I should clarify that I'm not a total hillbilly- normally my firewall is set to 'on', but I set it to 'off' to try and troubleshoot the issues here as I was told that sometimes it can interfere with the computer's ability to connect to the internet. If this is not the case and firewall does not affect anything, I will turn it back on while I try to fix this.
    I have tried the method you mentioned above a few times - I actually contacted my ISP earlier this week and they recommended resetting the router like that. They didn't mention any known network issues.

    Wirelessly
    Just select the option to make your AirPort Express join an existing network in the setup process

  • How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

    How long does it take to connect to Wi-Fi the first time I use my Ipad? It's been over 30 minutes. I see that it wants to connect but it keeps on turning.

    It should not take very long. Up to thirty seconds tops depending on your Wi-Fi network.
    Try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. Turn off the router for 30 seconds then turn it back on. After the router completes its startup routine and indicates a good connection to the internet start you iPad again and see if it will connect.
    If you still have problems you might try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. Maybe one at your local coffee shop or library.

    I have ordered a 800 firewire to 800 firewire cable and am hoping to use the target mode option to copy files from the MBP.
    Is this possible?
    Hope so!
    Any advice and or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks,

    Thanks Ogelthorpe.
    Just bought an enclosure to try that also.
    Hoping the MBP isn't really dead but just feigning death
    Fingers crossed.

  • How to use Migration Assistant when trying to transfer from MacBook to a new iMac via Ethernet cable

    I've been trying to transfer data from my MacBook to my new iMac via Ethernet cable and I get to the point of the transfer starting. Then on my iMac the Migration Assistant shuts down and takes me back to my desktop. Any ideas on why this keeps happening?

    Start over, restoring the OS on the new machine, and follow the steps outlined in  Pondini's Setup New Mac guide using the Setup Assistant.

  • How do I get internet on both my Mac Pro and my macbook pro at the same time?

    Both are running 10.6.8 operating systems.
    There is one ethernet jack in my office. The mac pro does not have a wireless card.
    I want to use internet on my macbook pro from the mac pro. I'm thinking internet sharing through ethernet cord (ethernet cord from wall to mac pro, then second ethernet cord from mac pro to macbook pro), or via firewire. Both methods tell me on my macbook pro that I am connected to the internet but when I try to use the internet it fails.
    Is this an ip address problem? how do I change that?
    suggestions? maybe there is a better way to do this?
    Thanks!!

    Get a router.
    A Apple Airport Extreme router is easy to setup and has extra ports on the back for Ethernet to the MacPro.
    This way you'll have Wifi and can take the MacBook Pro anyplace in range and use it, instead of burning up that Firewire port and being on a leash.
    You could be having IPv6 issues with the MacBookPro if it's on a later version of OS X.
    Look under your network > Advanced TCIP and turn off IPv6, reboot.

  • What cables do I need to connect MacBook Pro to the TV VGA port

    Nov 6, 2014 7:01 PM
    Hi,
    The HDMI port on my Maxent tv is not working.  I am hoping to connect my MacBook Pro to the TV via the VGA port on the TV to watch Netflix and movies.  What cables do I need that will connect to a VGA port on a TV from my MacBook Pro (2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)?  And will that cable support audio or will I need a separate audio cable?
    Thanks-
    Sheri
    OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    Hey Sheri Lynn,
    Thanks for the question. Our online store has a helpful tool that should guide you through the process of picking the best adapter for your MacBook model. You can check it out here:
    Get help choosing Mac video adapters - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/cables/cable-chooser#!
    If you are connecting via VGA you will need a separate audio cable if your TV supports it.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How to connect macbook pro to panasonic tv with hdmi cable

    How to connect macbook pro to panasonic hd tv with hdmi cable

    Hi m,
    It depends which MPB you have and the inputs on the TV. The following assumes your TV has an HDMI input which will work with a computer.
    This is if your MBP is from April 2010 or newer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
    First connect the adapter to the MBP and the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.
    Or if your MBP is older than that and you have a Mini DisplayPort, you can use something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMID/
    If it's older than that, for video you need a DVI or mini DVI to HDMI or whatever input your TV has. For audio, you need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or optical (Toslink), depending on what audio input your TV has.

  • Can't Connect to Internet via Ethernet Cable.

    Hi
    I've looked around but haven't found anyone with exactly this problem. I can't get my MacBook Pro to connect to the internet via ethernet at my dorm. I am on the same connection with the same cable on a different computer right now, so I know that is not the problem. When I plug the cable in to my MacBook Pro it tells me that the cable IS connected, but when I try to go on a site on either Safari or Firefox, it takes a couple minutes trying and then tells me that I don't have a connection. I guess the problem lies somewhere between the connection and the browser. I am using DHCP (I don't know what that means but that's the default and other posts have said to make sure that that's what one is using) and the "connect using PPPoE" box is not checked. My ip starts out 192 etc. so I assume it isn't self-assigned. I WOULD LOVE ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER.
    I just got back to school today and this is already making this semester pretty awful.

    I am having the same issue. Everything was working hunky-dory but then just up and stopped. The Airport works ok, but considering I am leeching off someone else's across the hall, that is not the most reliable solution.
    In my Network Diagnostics, the Ethernet connection is given a green light, but the it seems unable to find the internet at all.
    I have reset the router several times, restarted my computer several times, and various combinations of the two, as well as changing ports and cables etc...
    any suggestions?

  • Can only connect to enterprise wifi the first time each day, then does not reconnect and got the "Associati​on Failed" error

    To save battery, I leave my wifi off when the TP's screen is locked.  At home, my TP has no problem reconnecting to wifi after the screen is unlocked.  However, at work, which uses enterprise wifi, I can only connect the first time.  If I lock the screen and then unlock it (causing the wifi to turn off and on again) then the TP will not reconnect and I would get the "Association failed" error over and over again.  If I were to turn the TP off and on again, I would still get the same error.  Here's the strange part, if I come in work the next day, it would be able to connect to the wifi.  If I were to leave the wifi on all the time, it would not disconnect even if I lock the screen.  Now if I were to turn off the wifi and then turn it on again, the TP would not reconnect.  So it seems like the TP can only connect the first time each day....very strange...and frustrating.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Scimmia is right.  But you AcousticBruce are still very wrong.  You claim there were no error messages.  Yet after much proding and denial you finally provide small portions of error messages which fully identify the problem and can be found in many other posts in these forums.  Yet still, you haven't actually provided full output - instead you paraphrased the output after a couple of "//" symbols.
    If you don't give us the actual output we can't help - except in this case the error is so common we could very easily help.  So could the wiki page on wpa_supplicant if you had read it, as your problem is explictly listed there in a "NOTE" box.  But more importantly if you are reluctant to give us actual output we will not want to help you.
    This issue would have been solved instantly if you would have provided the actual output instead of lying about it.

  • Connecting aiport extreme and airport express via ethernet cable ?

    Is it possible to connect an airport extreme to an airport express via ethernet cable, I ask because I want to expand the range of my wifi network to the basement of my house, the floors are really thick concrete so I installed some ethernet cable runs, I hope somebody can help me, thank you.

    +How do I do it ? Do I connect the modem to the airport extreme and then run the ethernet cable from one of the extreme's ethernet ports to the express ethernet on the basememt and a second cable from another of the extreme's ethernet connectors to the express on the second floor+
    Yes, this is exactly correct.
    To configure each AirPort Express (AX)
    Open AirPort Utility, click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab below the icons to name your device, assign a device password and adjust time zone settings. Give each Express a separate name so you can identify then easily.
    Click the Wireless tab
    Wireless Mode...Create a Wireless Network
    Wireless Network Name...Exact same name as your AirPort Extreme network
    Radio Mode 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) if you want to use 2.4 GHz
    Channel...Automatic
    Wireless Security...Exact same setting as your AirPort Extreme network
    Wireless Password....Exact same setting as your AirPort Extreme network
    Click the Internet icon
    Change the Connection Sharing setting at the bottom to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
    Click Update at the lower right and the AirPort Express will restart in 20-30 seconds
    I think it is easier to configure each AirPort Express with AirPort Utility by temporarily connecting it to your computer with a short ethernet cable. Once you have saved the configuration, you can move the Express to the location that you need.
    Please post back on your progress.

  • Connecting a Laptop to Airport Express via Ethernet Cable

    I have an old PowerBook G3 and I do not have a wireless card for it. My plan was to connect it, via Ethernet cable to my airport express which is on my home wireless network (DSL to Mac Mini to AirPort Express via built-in AirPort).
    My question is can I make this work? After buying the Ethernet cord, all my reading of the AirPort Express manual seems to suggest that the Ethernet port on the AirPort Express is to only be used as an input port, not as an output. Is this correct?
    If I cannot connect my laptop this way, could anyone suggest a wireless card that is compatible with this slightly antiquated, yet very useful machine?

    Hello Brian Hunt1. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I have an old PowerBook G3 and I do not have a wireless card for it. My plan was to connect it, via Ethernet cable to my airport express which is on my home wireless network (DSL to Mac Mini to AirPort Express via built-in AirPort).
    Unfortunately, the network configuration your describing, where you would use OS X's Internet Sharing feature to share the Mac Mini's wired Internet connection wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX), won't work.
    If I cannot connect my laptop this way, could anyone suggest a wireless card that is compatible with this slightly antiquated, yet very useful machine?
    Only the "Pismo" PowerBook G3 is capable of using the original AirPort card. If you have this model, then the following DIY instructions will show you how to install it.
    If this isn't your model, then check out the following vendor offerings:
    o QuickerTek
    o hField Technologies' Wi-Fire

  • Unable to connect macbook pro (lion) to internet

    I have a macbook pro that is approx 8 months old. About 2 days ago I found that I cannot connect to the internet. The symtoms are quite confusing. I would first like to say that I can connect my wife's dell/win7 fine, I can also use my wireless printer which is connected to a win7 server, I can also use my IPhone and IPad. If I go into the macbook network configuration I can view the router. I can successfully setup a connection a get assigned a valid ipaddress. I am able to ping the router fine. It is just when I try to use the browser(firefox or safari) I can't connect to a site. I did reset the router a number of times with no change. I tried to get new ipaddresses by renewing the DHCP Lease. This will get me a new ipaddress but I still can't connect to a website. There is one very strange thing, if I go into my router's configuration page and get a list of connected devices I will see my macbook listed. If I hit refresh to update the list of devices sometimes the macbook is not displayed. I can refresh it again and then it will be displayed again. I am technically savy so I understand a bit about networking and routers, but this is really doing me no good. The is one thing that shouldn't have an effect on the connect, I recently installed Parallels, like I said this shouldn't have caused a problem like this.
    HELP!!!

    [Problem] Can't connect www.apple.com
    The solution.
    I have read several articles about changing DNS on the MAC.
    I did not try to follow the advice of those articles because all we need is a simple, and all that we do not need is complicated.
      I open Apple > System settings... >  Network > and choose Wi-Fi, DNS tab.
    There I saw
    DNS Servers: 192 168.2.1
    Search Domains: Home
    With use the "+" on right side I replaced the "Home" to "www.google.com".
      Now I can connect to www.apple.com and I have a faster internet than ever before.
