Wi-Fi Through Ethernet Cable

I'm trying to get internet for my ipod touch so I can text via connecting to my computer's internet which is connected via an ethernet cable. I've tried just going to internet sharing and choosing share my connection from ethernet to aiport...but I can't find/type in any networks on my ipod to use. I've also tried to create an entire new network but get the problem "self-assigned ip address cannot connect"...any ideas? I really want to be able to have internet on my ipod so I can text home!
Thanks!

It's not going to work that way. You need to share the connection from Ethernet to computers using WiFi but that option doesn't exist.
Is the Ethernet cable connected to a modem (common with cable service) or to a modem-router (common with DSL service). IF it's a modem-router, the router section most likely has a WiFi radio and you need to turn it on. To do that, you need administrative access to the router and the supplier can help you there.
If you have merely a modem, you must add a router. The Apple Express is a snap to configure.

Action initiated: Upgrade Mac Book Pro to Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.-, via Wi-fi. After 2 hours said could not install it. I tried again through Ethernet (cable). No success. Should I buy itagain? How this thing with the Apple store works? Not so familiar.

The OS X Mountain Lion I tried to download Wi-Fi on Mac Book Pro was not successfull. Should I buy it again? Should I check with Apple store for credit?
I successfully instaled it in iMac, but have problem with laptp. I also think I should not have bought 2 upgardes, becase if I have 2 computers, one paid upgrade is good for both computers. Am I wrong? SOmeone can advise how to proceed? I want to try again through Ethernet - cable internet - instead of Wi-Fi. Thank you

You should not have paid twice. If you logged into the App Store with the same AppleID as you used to purchase Mountain Lion the first time, you should not have been charged again.
If you internet connection is not working well enough to download it, do you have access to another network that might be faster? Perhaps and Apple Store nearby?

File sharing issues in one direction through ethernet cable

I have 2 macs, running 10.6.8. I have connected them through an ethernet cable. I have turned file sharing on. I can connect to the other computer on both computers, and I can see the directories in the finder on both computers. If I go to my desktop computer and try to copy something from the laptop to the desktop computer, it asks for a login, and then it copies no problem.
If I go to the laptop and try to do the same copy (laptop to desktop computer), I enter my password and get:
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
If it's a single file I try to copy, then I get:
The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “” already exists.
And a zero-byte file is copied to the desktop computer.
I note that when I try from the desktop, I don't get the file sharing login where I can choose guest of registered user. I get a finder permission login instead.
What gives? Do i have some setting wrong somewhere?
Thanks
Mark

You can do this if you keep your wits about you and manage the unexpected additional complexity.
Keep in mind:
The sharing login screens presented each time you reach across to the other Mac request the name and password of a User on the REMOTE computer, but are on the screen of the local computer.
If you are not connected to the User you need, or are connected as "Guest", break the connection and connect again as the specific user you need.

Photosmart C4795 Wireless. Won't communicate with Mac Computer unless its through Ethernet cable

Hello,
I recently just purchased a new router (MediaLink) and had to change the name of my wifi account. Before, my printer was communicating and working perfectly with my Macbook Pro (10.6.8). Since I installed the new router, my printer is not being recognized by the computer. It states it is "not connected."
My first step:
I used HP Setup Assistant to reinstall my printer and configure it to the new wifi name.
It went through and connected to the internet, HOWEVER, when I got to the IP page, with the printer connected via USB, it said that "Device is not connected" and mentioned that my COMPUTER was not communicating with the wifi (even though I had full bars and was on the internet at the time).
Then I unplugged the printer and plugged in the ETHERNET Cable directly from the router and the printer was immediately recognized. I was in the other room and printing. But when I unplugged the ethernet cable, the printer disapeared! and went back to its original state! "Not connected/found"
My second step:
I proceeded to search MANY online forums AND call HP (they were no help since my warrenty is out) and did a few different steps:
Uninstalled and reinstalled HP setup and software
Downloaded softwere compatable with Mac Os 10.6.8
Unplugged printer, computer, and router and then replugged it in
Reset printer
Reset printer to factory settings
Reset printing system on my computer via system preferences
Tried manually adding printer via IP address
Adding printer normally from system pref. (the printer was not found UNLESS I was plugged into the Ethernet cable)
AND I HAVE HAD NO LUCK AT ALL!!! Before the new router, the printer has been fine! and was so easy!! What is happening and what can I do to fix it? Im considering purchasing a new printer Im so frustrated.
Please help!
Thank you.

You don't need a new printer, you need a new router - one that supports Bonjour, which your Mac needs to communicate with your printer.
Is this router supplied by your ISP? Did you contact them about it? If you bought the router yourself, I recommend returning it and getting a standard router like Netgear or Linksys.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

My web pages aren't loading when connected to the internet through Ethernet cable?

Yesterday my web pages stopped loading on Safari. I tried loading them on google chrome and had the same problem. I then deleted all saved web site data and reset Safari but this still didn't solve the problem. Finally I restarted with safe mode, where the web pages loaded, but slowly, however when I restarted normally the web pages still weren't loading or partially loading. To test whether this was my computer or the ethernet cable I was connected to, I connected to the wifi at my university, where the web pages loaded perfectly. Plus, when connected to the ethernet cable I could Skype, use Spotify etc., it is just the web pages that are causing a problem. Any suggestions how I can fix this? Thank you!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted."

Print connected through ethernet cable?

Can I print to a printer connected to airport extreme from PC connected to the airport extreme via an ethernet cable? Thanks

Never mind, I figured it out.

Extend wireless airport extreme with airport express with through ethernet cable, extend wireless airport extreme with airport express with through ethernet cable

i want to extend my wirless range i using airport extreme upstairs and airport express down i have ethernet cable linking the two but airport express seems to go wireless and is extremly slow any help appreciated

Start with a "hard reset" of your Express - press and hold its reset button continuously, about five seconds, until its LED flashes rapidly. You will need to reconfigure all its settings.
Connect it to your Extreme with your Ethernet cable. Using AirPort Utility, configure its Internet Connection to "Connect Using" > "Ethernet" as in the following screenshot:
If it had been previously configured to "join" a wireless network and you connect its Ethernet cable to your wired LAN, you may experience what you are describing.

Extending signal through Ethernet cable. WRT120N E4200

I have a Linksys WRT120N plugged directly into my cable modem upstairs, an 8 port switch plugged into it, an ethernet cable from it run downstairs in my house to another 8 port switch and a Linksys E4200 plugged into it. I want both routers to allow me to connect to the internet wirelessly if possible. I cannot even access the E4200 from a browser, because the IP adress 192.168.1.1 goes directly to the WRT120N. Any suggestions?

There are two types of setup you can do here. LAN to WAN or LAN to LAN. Please follow the link below to know more about the two setup. By the way, I don't think you need the other switch downstairs:

One more thing, if you have the E4200v2, then you can set it to Bridge Mode. Click the link below to know more about Bridge Mode:

Are you sure the lan driver is the correct driver for your Lan port? And I think you referring to your ethernet port? We have lots of terminology miss-used here and confused as to what they do.

Installed Lion, lost Internet through ethernet cable. Any suggestions?

Hi there,
After installing Lion OS X system, I lost Internet through my Eternet Connection. Did work properly before. Any suggestions from your side to solve this issue?
JHoek

The modem is NetGear model DM111P.
The cable is currently plugged into the back of the iMac.
Yeah that is the one.. real pain.. is it in bridge or one to one NAT.. or you don't know.
So at present you have Modem--- computer??
Time machine is currently OFF. It is new, bought 3 months ago.
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
I cant find a re-set button on the Time machine
Time Capsule I guess you mean?? Time machine is software in the computer. Time Capsule is the box outside.
Just try.. plug
Modem--- wan port TC --lan port---Computer.
Press reset.. reset is small hole next to kensington lock.. use a paper clip and press it in gently until you feel a click... keep holding it for 10sec with the power on.. until the front led flashes rapidly.
See if the computer works to internet.. if not you can just unplug TC and connect back again.
The issue is the Netgear is giving TC an address 10.0.x.x and that is causing the TC which uses the same address range to fail.. perhaps. Or it is just the netgear being its normal rotten self.
I would recommend go and buy a wireless modem router.. wireless is a near zero add on price.. you can get TP-Link or cheap brand.. and much less trouble than the netgear..
The alternative is to bridge the Netgear and use PPPoE client in the TC.. but let me say this isn't easy IMHO.. and I see lots of posts of people struggling with that model.

Internet through wifi while connected to different network by ethernet cable

HI,
Is there a way for my iMac (2012, OS10.8) to take internet from wifi connection (tethered to iPhone 4S) while it is connected by cable to a router that does not have any internet connection?
The reason for this strange situation is that the telephone wires coming into the house was accidental pulled off, so I cant get internet through the telephone wire. I have to rely on 3G through my phone. I just bought Sonos Play 3 and Bridge, and they wont work unless their firmwares are updated. In order to do this, the iMac has to be connected to the Sonos (either by wifi or ethernet cable) and the internet at the same time. Since I am using wifi to be tethered through my iPhone to the internet, I have to use ethernet cable to connect to the Sonos gear. Whenever the ethernet cable is connected to the iMac, the iMac wont receive internet date through the wifi/tethered connection.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Henry

Thanks. I therefore have a problem as I cannot connect my ipad to the Apple TV. When trying to connect via Airplay my other apple tv appears (that is connected only via WiFi and that connects OK) but the Apple tv connected via the Ethernet does not show. I have looked at all the settings on both apple TV's and the only difference I can see is one is connected via WiFi and the other through Ethernet cable. Any ideas on what I need to check out?

How to set up my airport extreme to share my net connection. i have a ethernet cable from my isp which when i use in my mac, i have to enter username

I access net through ethernet cable from my isp. so i just plug in the cable in my mac and in the browser it put the username & password. now i want to use my airport express to create a wireless network so i can access net from ipad and mac simultaneously. when i use airport express both my mac & ipad gets connected to airp exp but each of them ask for isp's username and password. i can only login from either one of them and access net in that one only. Pls advice???

To allow your Mac to "see" the HDD attached to an AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that is configured as a bridge, just be sure to assign a static Private IP address to the AEBS. By default the AEBS is a DHCP client and will get a dynamic IP address from the upstream router that is acting as the DHCP server. Since this address can change over time, it would make it more difficult for network clients to find the HDD.

By-passing Airport to print through Ethernet

I loaded Snow Leopard yesterday and could not find my HP Color LaserJet 5500dn, which is connected via Ethernet. Then I discovered it wouldn't recognized or communicate with it while I had Airport on. After turning Airport off, low and behold it recognized it.
How can I by-pass the Airport connection and go straight to Ethernet when using this printer, without having to disable Airport when I need to use it? And by the way, I use Retrospect to back up a system of Macs through my server, and for that to read each computer, I have to make sure Airport is disabled then, too. Any suggestions?

If your PS2 has network ability, you should get a standard straight-through ethernet cable. Then connect that cable to your router->PS2.
Follow the manual to configure PS2. You're on.
If your router is too far away, then look up "Internet Connection Sharing" and you will find hundreds of posts with people who are trying to "...+have my internet go to my {other computer} through my macbook ethernet port+..."
Your router should have a manual, on CD, or online.
Your PS2 should have manual for network (CD or paper, or online)

Hey everyone, I have a 2012 macbook pro and next year for college I will need an ethernet cable for my dorm room. The only info my schools gives me about what cord to get is, "you will need is a standard (straight-through) Ethernet cable to connect the computer/device to wall jack." So my question to you all is, what is the best one that I can purchase? Thanks-Kevin.

Go to Best Buy, tell them you need to connect a computer to a wall jack. Most of the cables out there are the correct ones (literally ... 95% of the ones in the store are) and you need to ask for the corss-over cables used to connect routers to briges (do not ask ... really, do not ask).
Do not pay top dollar for it. I have a rag-tag fleet of cables in various stages or repair, but they mostly all work.
