WIRED FAST ETHERNET SWITCH BY NETGear

Here is my issue and it may be answered best on another board, but here goes. I hooked up a Netgear FS605 Fast Ethernet Switch. I ran my cable connection through the switch out to my Airport and then onto my IMAC Desktop. It all flowed fine. I then ran a cable from the switch to our new ps3 in the basement which did not see the connection. Now I figured maybe my cable making skills are lacking so i testes to see if i had a signal using my laptop. I did not. SO I went upstairs directly to the switch took out a good E Cable and connected the laptop there and still no connection. So i am not sure if A the cable i ran for the PS 3 is bad, and B having a **** of a time getting the Etherenet Switch to be reconized on my LAPTOP. any ideas out there? Once i get the LAPTOP to see the switch i can then go and check my cable run.
Thanks

Have you tested the cable with network testing device to make sure the cable is ok?

  • E4200 + Dell PowerConnect 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch work/notwork?

    We have a Dell™ PowerConnect™ 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch and with the e4200 having only 4 ports a fifth port is needed if we are not able to resolve the usb/printer fiasco that we have been struggling with for the past three days.
    Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, PLEASE hlep!
    Thanks,

    We have the e4200 v.1 router with four ports in the back and we have updated the usb to network in a xeror 8400 printer via a usb connection. But after three days of trying, only one computer can find the printer on the e4200 router's usb port.
    Plan B: give up trying to connect four computers (filling the four ports in the router) to the e4200 usb printer connection and utilize this Dell™ PowerConnect™ 2016 Fast Ethernet Switch which has 16 ports and network in the printer on this dell Ethernet Switch.
    BUT, I don't know if this can be done with the e4200 since the CC/Linksys does not appear to be PnP friendly & we don't have the resources to hire in a tech. I can follow instruction, please point me in the right direction. Many thanks if you can assist,

    What do you mean by dumb siwthc? What model/make/company is that switch?
    Can you try to do the reset of the switch so that it wipe off all the config what so ever present on the box and then try to connect the switch to the router?

  • Netflix Viewer and Ethernet Switch

    Hello All,
    I just bought the Roku Netflix Viewer. Friends told me all I needed to share my DSL connection was a simple Ethernet Switch. So I got a Unicom Micro-Switch/5 which is described as a 5 port 10/100Mbps fast ethernet switch w/ auto mdi/mdix.
    I assumed this was the correct device, and that it was plug and play, but when I plug in the viewer, my iMac gets bumped off the internet.
    Is this ethernet switch the right piece of hardware? If so, is mine dead out of the box, or is there a specific way to connect it / configure it (or my iMac) that is beyond me?
    Or is there a more appropriate device I should get to share the connection?
    Thanks in advance.
    Dr. Rock

    For those interested,
    I posted here hoping to get some help during the long July 4th holiday. I was given bad advice on the purchase of an ethernet switch. Turns out I needed a router. Here on the tech pages the distinctions are clear. But out in the world where the humans use English to communicate, the terms hub, switch, and router are often used interchangeably.

  • Airport + Wired Network - Can't see Wired Network with new Ethernet Switch.

    I have an Airport Exteme Wireless network work in my home with a base station and one base station as a WDS. I had an old Linksys wired router that I used as an etherent hub for my wired computers. It died the other day.
    Since I figured I already have a router with Airport, I went out and bought a NetGear 5 port gigabit switch to hook the wired part of my network back up. Since I have done this, I can see all the computers on the wireless Macs, but cannot see the network at all on the wired Macs.
    My configuration is:
    Cable modem -- > Airport (WAN) --> Netgear wired etheret switch (LAN).
    I'm checking the "distribute IP addresses" from the airport. All the compters can access the internet, but my wired Macs can't communicate on the network. I'm darned but I can't seem to figure this out.
    For all you networking gurus out there, what am I doing wrong? I could have bought another wired router, but it seems I shouldn't have to since my Airport should be able to perform the router function to all computers but hooking it to the ethernet switch.
    Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Scotty D
    Sorry, I posted this on the AirPort Express discussions by mistake. Apologies, but it belongs here.

    You are able to ping the printer from the wireless computer but not from wired computer.
    Open router setup page. Go to wireless tab and click on Advanced wireless settings sub tab.
    Make sure that AP Isolation is disabled on your router.
    Also check the firewall settings on your wired computer. If there is any firewall or Anti virus installed on your wired computer then disable it and try to ping the printer IP address.

  • Connect unmanaged switch to 887VA fast ethernet port

    I tried connecting an unmanaged (and dumb) switch to one of the four fast ethernet ports on the back of the router. I configured the port to act as an access port bound to a specific VLAN, say no. 100.
    What I can see on the LEDs of the unmanaged switch is that the link goes up and down every few seconds. I don't know if this is related to the spanning tree protocol and unfortunately the unmanaged switch doesn't know about STP and doesn't send out BPDUs.
    So, how I should configure the port in order to avoid the link going up and down?
    The actual conf. for the port:
    interface fastEthernet 3
    switchport mode access
    switchport access vlan 100

    What do you mean by dumb siwthc? What model/make/company is that switch?
    Can you try to do the reset of the switch so that it wipe off all the config what so ever present on the box and then try to connect the switch to the router?

  • My ethenet LAN slows down when I use a (supposedly) faster gigabit switch.

    I am using the latest version Airport router. It is providing our home wireless network, which is working fine. I also have a home ethernet LAN. The Airport is connected to an old, cheap, no-name 100Mb switch. I decided to try a Netgear GS608v3 gigabit switch to see if it would allow faster ethernet LAN (of course I understand that it has no effect whatsoever on the WiFi network). The indicator light for the port where the cable from the Airport plugs into the swich glows yellow, indicating only Mb speed. The indicator lights for the other ports running cables to my wired devices all glow green, indicating a gigabit connection.
    When using my web browser, I was expecting that I would not really be able to see any differences, but to my surprise the new Netgear gigabit switch was associated with dramatically SLOWER web page load times. And I mean s-l-o-w. Something is wrong here. It should be as fast or faster. And why is the input from the Airport router indicating only 100mb speed?

    the problem is with the Netgear switch for SURE. you can not have packet loss on internal network.
    going further:
    You can troubleshoot this problem. but will take a while.
    using the finder, go to network utility and select your ethernet connection,
    on right side you will see Transfer statistics
    if send errors or recv errors or collision are being incremented you have a problem between your mac and the switch port, (you can have problem from the switch to the router too).
    In order to resolve this problem:
    system preference
    network
    selecet ethernet
    select last tab (Ethernet)
    configure: manually
    set speed to 100baseTX
    duplex to full duplex, flow-control.
    ok
    apply
    repeat the ping test
    you can reach airport page and check for errors on lan ports.
    more one tip: you need use CAT5e cables, read the cable and post the results

  • Fast User Switching with Mounted Network Drive?

    I have a headless G4 Cube running 10.5.8 with a 2TB firewire drive plugged in for storage accessable to any of my macs here at home. I can access it fine with my 2 desktops over ethernet and wirelessly. Recently we decided to consolidate our 2 desktops into one using the muliple users feature. Seems to work fine, and both accounts can access the shared drive. They are logging in with the cube's admin credentials, and the shared drive is set to ignore permissions. I have the drive set to mount on login with a startup item in the system login items prefs. As long as I logout before switching users, everything is good.
    The problem arises with Fast User Switching which we'd love to be able to use. I can't figure out how to connect to the drive in one account without the 2nd account then seeing it as a volume without proper permissions, then that account creates a new volume mount for it (which doesn't work with iTunes properly and seems to cause other wierd issues).
    Example: So say 'user1' logs in, mounts the drive 'Jukebox'. everything seems OK so far. 'Jukebox' is on the desktop and iTunes finds the music. Now I fast user switch to 'user2' and there is a 'Jukebox' on the desktop with the red minus icon indicating I don't have permissions to access it. If I then browse the network and mount the drive, I end up with ANOTHER 'Jukebox' on the desktop. BUT iTunes doesn't see it properly. If I look in the /Volumes/ folder with the Terminal, I see a mountpoint for 'Jukebox' (with the owner of 'user1' group 'staff') and now a new mountpoint called 'Jukebox-1' (with the owner of 'user2' group 'staff').
    It seems when you mount a AFP drive, it creates the Volume with the current user and staff group, but switching to another user then can't access that when it sees it in the /Volumes folder. You try to mount again and it creates a NEW mountpoint, names it with a '-1' at the end and you can use that (but iTunes cant).
    So... how does one use a shared drive that you want on BOTH users desktops with Fast User Switching turned on? Is there a way to have the drive mounted BEFORE either user logs in, such that it will be seen as any other local drive (which doesn't have the issue)??
    Or is there some other way I can attach to the network volume in each account on login so both have access to music and videos with full permissions?
    I'm really stumped here after 2 hrs of googling, searching here and trying things.
    TIA

    I've not had any luck with the suggestions in the link either.
    Here's two other approaches I've tried and failed with:
    1. Creating a new share point on the cube itself so that one user can mount it as a different volume. Then the issue is that I still don't have a volume named "Jukebox" available to each user when switching. I DO have access now to the data from both accounts, but under 2 different mount points (volume names) and the xml file for iTunes is hard coded with the path for each mp3 including the "Jukebox" volume name... so no go.
    2. Tried figuring out a way I could script a mounting of the share with the terminal thinking I could then run that shell script at startup. Can't seem to get the sytax right. If I create a directory in /Volumes and mount and afp share to it, it takes on the ownership of root/wheel which I can't access in the finder and can't seem to change.
    BUT I'll keep playing with both these ideas a bit... the first one might be overcome with a bit of logic and the 2nd if I can get the syntax right to mount the share with afp_mount and give it the correct ownership/permissions such that when a user logs in she/he sees the volume on the desktop and has full r/w access to it.
    thanks again. if you offhand know the syntax for that, let me know

  • Macbook Pro does not see Fast Ethernet but works fine with Gigabit Ethernet

    Hi to everybody,
      It is some time I have a problem connecting my unibody Macbook Pro (late 2008) to the ethernet cables in my office. There are 16 wall jacks in the lab, of which 13 are Fast Ethernet (100 Mbit/s) and 3 are Gigabit Ethernet. No matter what I do, if I connect to the 100 Mbit/s jacks, my Macbook does not see the connection and keeps saying "Cable unplugged". If I switch to a Gigabit jack, then a connection is quickly established.
    I have spent one whole afternoon debugging. Here is what I did:
    My computer dual boots Mac OS X and Linux. No matter which operating system I use, the problem is the same.
    Using different Cat.5 cables does not change the situation (I tried three of them.)
    All the 13 Fast Ethernet jacks do not work.
    All the 3 Gigabit jacks work smoothly.
    What puzzles me is that my computer happly uses the newest technology (Gigabit ethernet) but has problems with the oldest one. Has somebody else experienced the same problem?

    After a lot of struggle, I discovered that other people had this very issue as well. It seems that the cause is a faulty Realtek chip used in the ethernet cards of some MacBooks and other brands. There is apparently no way to fix this: I solved my problems by buying a Gigabit Ethernet switch which I connected to the Fast Ethernet wall jack. (Another option might be to use a Ethernet-to-USB adapter - but I did not try this as I have no adapter of this kind.)

  • Do I need to buy an ethernet switch that has a WAN port

    I want to buy an Aiport Express to handle a WiFi only iPad and an old PPC iMac with 10.5.8 on it that has no WiFi card.  The iMac gets on the internet from a cable plugged directly into its ethernet port (using DHCP).  The cable comes off an antenna at the front of the cottage.  A signal hits the antenna from a broadcasting tower about half a mile away.
    I need to buy an ethernet switch for the Aiport Express to handle both the iPad wirelessly and the wired iMac.  Does the switch have to have a WAN port or can I buy one with five LAN ports?
    Message was edited by: Roy Vincent.  Spelling error

    So here's what I am planning to do.  I get myself an ethernet switch.  I plug my cable from my antenna into it.  I run a cable from one of its five ports into my iMac.  I run a cable from one of its other ports into my Airport Express.  I configure the Airport Express in Bridge Mode.  Now my wife can connect to the web wirelessly using the iPad and I can connect using the wired iMac --- and we can do so at the same time and indpendently of one another.   No?
    Sorry, but no.
    You only have one IP address.  With a switch feeding two devices, it will be a matter of chance as to which device gets the IP address.
    The other device will not be able to connect to the Internet, since a switch cannot "split" the connection.
    Instead, you need a simple wired router to "share" the public IP address that you receive. In turn, the router distributes "private" IP addresses to devices on your local network, so each device will be able to connect to the Internet. 
    As I mentioned, a switch cannot perform the functions of a router.

  • Connecting an Ethernet switch to the AE?

    Hi,
    I have a small wireless network at home with the following setup:
    1. Airport Express (802.11n) + ADSL modem connected to the ethernet port.
    2. Mac Pro (2008) w/Airport Extreme card
    3. Mac mini (2010) w/Airport Extreme card
    4. PC laptop with 802.11b/g card (serves as a media center)
    5. iPod touch
    Since the laptop sits just beside the Airport unit I would like to connect it with a cable, for a couple of reasons:
    a. Its wireless card is slow and unreliable.
    b. I'd like to use Wake-on-LAN features
    Since the Airport Express' only Ethernet port (which I understand serves for both WAN and LAN?) is already in use by the modem, I was wondering if I can connect the modem and the laptop to a simple ethernet switch (I was thinking of this one: http://www.edimax.com/en/producedetail.php?pd_id=281&pl1_id=4&pl2id=23) which will then be connected to the Airport Express. Is this possible?

    I was wondering if I can connect the modem and the laptop to a simple ethernet switch (I was thinking of this one: http://www.edimax.com/en/producedetail.php?pd_id=281&pl1_id=4&pl2id=23) which will then be connected to the Airport Express. Is this possible?
    You would need to use a simple wired only router...not a switch...to do what you want. Reason...with a switch, your "modem" is connected to two devices at the same time, but it can only deliver one IP address. It will be a matter of chance as to which device, the laptop or the Express connects to the Internet.
    If the Express connects, then you will have no Internet signal for the laptop. If the laptop connects first, then you will have no Internet connection for the Express.
    A router will accept a single IP address and provide additional IP addresses so that multiple devices will be able to connect.

  • Airport Extreme (Fast Ethernet) + Airport Express (WDS) = disconnects

    I have an Airport Express configured as a WDS, bridging a wired device (a small PC running Linux) to an Airport Extreme (Fast Ethernet). Security is enabled (WPA).
    Frequently, the Airport Express disconnects from the wireless network and I have to reboot the thing by unplugging it. I have it set up to log to the PC, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for in the log.
    Any guidance? I'd like to hold on to the Express, but I can't if it's acting flakey like this.

    More than likely you are experiencing RF interference from other devices operating at 2.4 GHz. You can use a tool like iStumbler to see what other networks are visible in your area. Then you can configure your 2 base stations to use a channel which is as far as possible from the channels used by other networks.

  • Faster ethernet data transfer time than 2ms

    Dear all,
    I'm using labview 7.1 based on a standard laptop communicating with a LabVIEW real time maching running the standard real time operating system. The two machines are connected through a dedication ethernet switch  (rated to 1Gbs), and both have ethernet cards (rated at 100Mbs or greater).
    The aim of my project is to have a fast distributed control scheme going. This basically means that small amounts of sensor data have to be transferred very quickly between the two machines. The aim is to then scale this to have more machines on the network.
    I use a UDP data transfer method, using the standard labview UDP read and UDP write vis.
    I would like to acheive a major frame rate of around 500Hz. The problem I have restricting me with this is the speed of the ethernet connection. It would appear that the vi wrtes to buffer instantaneously, but it is taking as much as 2-3ms for the data package to be sent and received by the other machine. This is a ridiculously long amount of time. I'm sending approximately 100bytes, so the time on the network should be 0.01ms. This would suggest the time delay is in the reading or writing of the data from the Ethernet card over the PCI bus to the program.
    Does anyone know why its taking so long? Do the UDP read vis only check the ethernet hardware every ms? I've taken great care to ensure that this is not a synchronisation or timing problem and I am certain it is not that. 
    I could really do with making this data transfer quicker as it is clearly the slowest part of the control loop. If anyone has come across this before and found a solution I would be grateful to know about it. I'm really hoping that I won't have to write something low-level in C or anything like that and try and integrate it with the code I have.
    Many thanks,
    Pete

    Finally found some hard numbers for data transfer rates. From this website. http://www.intellicom.se/ModbusTCP_overview.shtml
    Performance from a MODBUS TCP/IP system
    The performance basically depends on the network and the hardware. If you are running MODBUS® TCP/IP over the Internet, you won't get better than typical Internet response times. However, for communicating for debug and maintenance purposes, this may be perfectly adequate and save you from having to catch a plane or go to site on a Sunday morning!
    For a high-performance Intranet with high-speed Ethernet switches to guarantee performance, the situation is completely different.
    In theory MODBUS® TCP/IP carries data at up to 250/(250+70+70) or about 60% efficiency when transferring registers in bulk, and since 10 Base T Ethernet carries about 1.25 Mbytes/sec raw, the theoretical throughput is:
    1.25M / 2 * 60% = 360000 registers per second and the 100 Base T speed is 10 x greater.
    This assumes that you are using devices that can service Ethernet as fast as bandwidth is available.
    Practical tests carried out by Schneider Automation using a MOMENTUMTM Ethernet PLC with Ethernet I/O demonstrated that up to 4000 I/O bases could be scanned per second, each I/O base having up to 16 12-bit analog I/O or 32 discrete I/O. Four bases could be updated in one millisecond. While this is below the theoretical limit calculated above, it must be remembered that the tested device was running with a lowly 80186 CPU running at 50Mhertz with an effective computing power of 3 MIPS (compared to the 700 MIPS of a 500MHz Pentium). Also, these results are nevertheless faster than the proprietary I/O scan methods used to date.
    As low-end CPU's get cheaper, Momentum-type devices will chase the theoretical limit, although they'll never reach it because the limit will be continually pushed further away with 1 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, etc. This is in contrast to other field-buses which are inherently stuck at one speed

  • Airport Express & Ethernet Switch

    Hi All,
    I'm hoping somone can help me here.
    I have an original Airport Express that was previously connected to an old Linksys router via my cable modem.
    After experiencing intermitent web surfing speeds(via my ethernet connected iMac), I decided to swap my Linksys router to a NetGear 8 port gigabit switch.
    My ethernet connection works fine, but for some reason the Airport express is not able to connect. In the airport utility, I am seeing two errors:
    1. Internet Connection
    2. No DNS Servers
    I've reset the airport express numerous times as well as reset my cable modem, ethernet switch, and iMac.
    I even doubled back and connected the old Linksys router and the Airport had no trouble connecting.
    Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.
    -Sky

    You removed your router, and cannot use a switch without one. There is nothing to switch.
    Connect your Express directly to the cable modem and reconfigure it as a wireless router.
    Since your original AirPort Express has only one Ethernet port, there is no longer a connection available for a switch. You either need a new Express or Extreme or router with at least one LAN port.

Maybe you are looking for
