Why can't the 6700 support both ethernet and wireless simultaneously?

I have two desktop computers connected to my wirless router/cable modem via ethernet and two laptops that connect via wireless. Can I configure my new 6700 to accept both?

Hi,
Any consumer product support either Ethernet or Wireless connection, the connections cannot be used simultanly..
However connecting the pritner to your network (either by Ethernet or Wireless) will allow installing the printer on ANY pc connected to the same network, either by Wireless opr Ethernet connection..
Once the printer connected to your network, simply install the CD on any of your computers...
hope that clarifies,

Can i run my printer with ethernet and wireless simultaneously?

HP OfficeJet 6700
Mac OS and Windows XP
I am trying to print to this printer wirelessly while it is connected to an ethernet network. Is that possible? We want to be able to print company reports from the Point of Sales system (hence the ethernet) but we also want to be able to print documents and emails from our laptops (wirelessly).
One of us has a Dell laptop running Windows XP, the other has a MacBook Pro.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can use LAN cable to connect your printer to a wireless router and use the printer wirelessly in your home network.

How to configure use of Ethernet and wireless simultaneously, with different Windows´s?

Hello friends,
My network has two Win XP-laptops connected via ethernet to a Dovado-router, and from the Dovado-router another ethernet cable to a Win 7 PC.
The Win 7 PC connects to the internet via a D-Link wireless network to my ISP wireless router Huawei E589.
Problem: the PC refuses to work with both ethernet and wireless at the same time.
I use the ethernet for tranferring vast amounts of graphical data (astronomy photographs at 3-4 GB each), and I can only access the internet through the wireless. Neither XP nor 7 wizards are able to fix it. Both networks were visable in Network Center,
now only the wireless is available. Ethernet is gone.
What do I do, to make it work?

Hi,
What's your purpose? My understanding is that you want Windows 7 PC wireless use internet and wired use Lan. If I am misunderstand please point me fault.
For the situation you can do like this:
1) Setting for your both routers.
Make sure both routers have different Router IP's and SUBNETS, you should try to set the subnet of Dovado-router to 255.255.255.252(this router should be used as local Lan, not connect to internet).
Set the subnet of D-link to 255.255.255.0
2) Setting For the LAN adapter.
Under the TCP/IP properties(Lan adapter), please assign a unique IP address (which coincides with the subnet of Dovado-router ), set the subnet to 255.255.255.252 (or whatever you set it to Dovado-router). The very important things is that
don't assign any GATEWAY to Lan adapter, leave it blank.
3) Setting For the WIRELESS adapter.
Under TCP/IP properties(wireless adapter), please assign a unique IP address (that coincides with the wireless router), set the subnet to 255.255.255.0 (or whatever the default is for the wireless router), and make sure to type gateway IP address ( D-link
IP address).
Now you can test if they are work normally.
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Both ethernet and wireless time-out trying to connect

I'm having a problem with getting my laptops' IP assigned by dhcp. Both over ethernet and wireless.
I have no problem connecting to my WPA connection at home, but now I'm at my parents for a week or two, it refuses to connect to their WEP network.
To connect to my WPA network I run this script from rc.local, which works fine on startup.
ifconfig ra0 up
iwconfig ra0 essid *********
iwconfig ra0 ap **:**:**:**:**:**
iwconfig ra0 rate auto
iwconfig ra0 channel auto
iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
iwconfig ra0 txpower auto
iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=AES
iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK=***************************************
iwpriv ra0 set TxRate=0
dhcpcd ra0
So for the WEP network, I have commented all that out and changed rc.conf like so:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
ra0="dhcp"
wlan_ra0="ra0 essid ***** key *******************"
WLAN_INTERFACES=(ra0)
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 ra0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
But when I try to connect it just returns "Error, ra0: timed out".
I have also tried modifying rc.local (appropriately i think), but that seems to time-out too.
This wouldn't be so bad if I had the option to connect by ethernet, but that doesnt work either! It also times out, just like the wireless. I don't think it is the router, as all the other computers in the house work fine, both wired and wireless. But I don't think it's a driver issue either, as I can see all the AP's in kismet, and also I used the ethernet port when I first installed Arch a couple of months ago. I assume it's dodgy config files or clashing commands or something, but I've looked in the wiki and other forums etc, and I can't see what I'm doing wrong.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
Paul

Make sure about the addresses for the LAN the router at your parents is using - they are not necessarily the same.

If I type a URL in an e-mail, why can't the recipient click on it and go straight to the website in question?

It works fine in Internet Explorer and Google Chrome but in Firefox they have to cut and paste the link into their browser...

I have encountered the same problem with newest Firefox 6. Used to be able to just right click and get a hyperlink for url to paste into e mails. Firefox used to work great, now with the constant upgrades, all the add ons and even basic features are becoming more problematic. wish they would just concentrate on supporting one version to the best of their abilities and quit requiring so many updates that don't work as well. Many friends are migrating to Chrome....I am trying to stay with firefox because it was so good for so many years, but now it seems like constant problems.
Hope they get it worked out soon or I might have to follow the flock in migration.

Issues with both Ethernet and Wireless netowrks

I have recently installed Arch on one of my desktops after having messed around with it in virtual box for awhile. While things went really smoothly in Virtual box with the set up i am having issues getting any wireless networks to work on the desktop machine. Any tips or ideas on how to get them to work? I've already looked in the network sections on the forums but nothing there has really helped me yet. Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,
Ryan

Do you remember which text editor you chose during the installation process? I will assume you chose "nano" which is the easiest to use.
Type this as root:
nano /etc/rc.conf
Then find the line in the network sections that looks like this:
interface=eth0
address=
netmask=
broadcast=
gateway=
If the line "interface=" doesn't have the "eth0" part, add it then reboot the machine. Once you've rebooted trying running this command:
ping www.google.ca
If you get a bunch of lines about response time and whatnot, it means you are connected. Press Ctrl+c to make it stop.
EDIT: Just saw your post.
Make sure that you aren't looking at the examples that are commented out. If you are using DHCP you should just need what I've posted above.

How Do I Network Multiple Base Stations Using Ethernet AND Wireless?

Hi, everyone. I am having great difficulty setting up a network using multiple Airport Extreme base stations that are connected using both ethernet and wireless connections. I have one main base station connected to a cable modem, and I want to create a unified network and share its internet connection with three other base stations: one that is connected on an ethernet network, one connected to it wirelessly, and the fourth that would be connected wirelessly to the base station on the ethernet network.
The "Designing Airport Networks" manual explains how to build roaming networks of base stations that are connected to one another via ethernet. And it also explains how to build a WDS of wirelessly connected base stations. What it doesn't explain is how to build a network employing both ethernet AND wireless!
I spent most of today trying to get the base stations to work in various configurations to no avail. I could get part of the network working, but not all of it. I'm at the point where I'm going to need to do a hard, factory reset on all the base stations and start over, but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions for me. Any help would be incredibly appreciated! Thanks so much...

If you have stations connected via Ethernet and want them to appear as a single seamless wireless network, configure them as follows:
Same SSID (network name).
Different channels. As far apart as possible.
Same wireless encryption type/level/password.
Only the base station connected to the Internet source distributes IP addresses. All the others are configured as bridges.
If you have stations connected wirelessly using WDS and want them to appear as a single seamless wireless network, configure them as follows:
Same SSID (network name).
Same channel.
Same wireless encryption type/level/password.
It appears that you want to mix the 2 type of connections. This is easily done and here is a simple example:
base1 Ethernet base2
In this example base1 and base 2 are configured as I suggested above for Ethernet connections.
Now add base3 connected wirelessly:
base1 Ethernet base2 wireless base3
Now base2's configuration must be modified slightly so that it acts as a WDS main. base3 is configured to act as a WDS remote (or relay).
No changes are needed to base1 since it is completely unaware and uninvolved in the WDS link between base2 and base3.

The mini dvi on the MacBook will only support video, in order to get audio you'll need to a cable from the sound out port to the sound in port on the TV.

Nothing needs to be turned on. What apps are you attempting to use? Perhaps the versions you have don't support background operation.

Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.
http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-101-set-up-and-restore-from-icloud-backup/
If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
Email messages are not stored in your backups.
