Wired Network Drive Compatibility?

If I connect an external drive to a router via USB, and my Mac is wired to the router via Ethernet, is there a specific way to set up the drive for file sharing so that Time Machine can back up to it? If so, please provide or direct me to instructions on how to set it up. Thanks.

This solution has worked for me, and others, with a Network drive:

  • Configure Time Capsule as a wired network drive for Time Machine Backups

    I have a 4th generation Time Capsule, a MBPr on OS X Mountain Lion.
    Time Capsule/Time Machine work fine in wireless mode.  But, that's not what I prefer!
    Rather, I want to connect Time Capsule by ethernet cable to my cable modem (VZ FiOS), and turn off the Time Capsule's wireless, and access the Time Capsule as another newtork hard drive and let Time Machine perform backups with my Asus RT-N66U router.
    I have got the Time Capsule set up, but can't get Time Machne set up to perform backups with it.   Here are the steps I've taken:
    Open Time Machine
    Turn Time Machine On
    Pop-up shpws Other Time Capsule
    Highlight Other Time Capsule and click SetUp
    AirPort Utility pops up and can't find the Time Machine, of course, since its wireless is turned off.
    On the menu, File-->Enter Address and Password for the Time Capsule
    The Time Capsule screen comes up under Base Station.  No need to change the name or password.
    Back To My Mac is set up with my Apple account
    Internet shows 192.168.1.101 as the Time Capsule's address
    Wireless: Network Mode is off
    Network: Router Mode set to Off-Bridge Mode
    Disks shows one Time Capsule partition.  File Sharing is enabled, and Secure Shared Disks is set to With Device Password. 
    I have to change something...then change it back...to get AirPort Utility to try to update settings on the Time Capsule.  That's where things fall apart.  AirPort Utility just spins away.  It never finishes.  I end up using Force Kill to close AirPort Utility.
    Any suggestions?  Is there a way to configure Time Machine without AirPort Utility?

    Let me just be clear on the setup..
    I want to connect Time Capsule by ethernet cable to my cable modem (VZ FiOS), and turn off the Time Capsule's wireless, and access the Time Capsule as another newtork hard drive and let Time Machine perform backups with my Asus RT-N66U router.
    This is the sentence I am having issues with.
    There should be one router.. The Asus..
    The TC should be plugged into that, not the cable modem. Only the Asus should have a connection to the cable modem. The TC should be in bridge.. which from your other listing it is.
    I think this is the actual setup you have..
    You should be able in finder to make the TC disk available (alhough I don't use ML yet).. using to server.
    And type in AFP://TCIPaddress or AFP://TCName obviously replacing the generic with the actual name.
    Does that work?

  • Can't reinstall Officejet Pro 8000 A809N driver on wired network

    Computer is running Windows XP with service pack 3 and all updates installed.  When I tried to print two days ago, I received an error message that no printer was installed.  I had printed earlier in the week without problems.  I checked the Printer and Faxes folder in Control Panel, and it was empty.  I believe it normally showed the HP printer as well as a Windows Fax print-to-file routine there.
    When I clicked on Add a Printer in the Printer folder, I was told that the Print Spooler was not running.  I ran "services.msc" from the Run command, and restarted the Print Spooler.  I went back to the Printer folder, tried to reinstall the printer, and again it said the Print Spooler was not running.  I restarted the Print Spooler again, and tried to look at Server Properties from the Printer folder file tab, and again it said the Print Spooler was not running (it is set to automatic restart).  I've checked several related dll and exe files against their backups, and they don't appear to be corrupted.  I scanned the hard drive for errors, and none were found.
    I tried the built-in diagnostics of the HP software, and all I got was error messages that the Print Spooler was stopped.  I came to the HP website, downloaded and installed two additional troubleshooting programs, which did not help.  HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility says "software not installed", although nothing had been deleted, and still ran from the Start menu.  HP Print Diagnostic Utility 4.1 states there is an issue with the print spooler, and to click "Fix".  Clicking Fix opens a window stating to select the printer to troubleshoot, then press "Diagnose".  No printer appears in the list though, so it states to install the software. 
    Therefore, I downloaded both the full and the limited install programs from the website and tried both several times.  I ran the uninstall program of the existing installation from the Start menu without problems and rebooted.  When I tried to reinstall though, I kept getting errors.  Generally, the "hpnwchk" program (HP network check) opens in a dos screen, displays a long string of  "Printer :  (null)" lines, then crashes.  The program then tells me that the printer is already installed to the TCP/IP port, and needs to be removed first.  I click the option to "Fix" the TCP/IP port option.  The installation program then continues, and brings up a window showing the correct information for my printer (it even wakes it from the standby mode).  I select the printer from the list, and the install continues until receiving another error, stating that "arguments are incorrect", and that the installation has failed.  I think the "arguments" are setting for the TCP/IP port, which differ between what it is being set  from the current drivers and what was previously installed.
    I've run the uninstall routine several times, and also manually deleted the printer folder from the registry using REGEDIT (HKCU/Printer).  It seems to me that there is a conflict somewhere that keeps stopping the print spooler (it is set to auto restart).  Also, the uninstall routine is not completely uninstalling, as it always says that the printer is already installed when I run the installation routines, and displays it's correct parameters.  I Googled and read just about everything I can find on the subject, and I'm stumped.  Where else could the TCP/IP settings be stored in the Registry, and what else is being missed on the uninstall?  
    Some additional information on my setup - the printer has been installed for about 2 years with no issues.  I can still print without problems from another computer on our home wired network.  I opened Vista on this very computer on a separate drive partition, and had no trouble installing and using the printer through Vista, which seems to eliminate any possible hardware issues (I never found it worth the effort to move over to Vista after trying it; only use it now as a back-up to XP on the computer).  In the past week, I installed an update for Adobe Reader, and Microsoft Security Essentials stopped a Java Script Trojan.  I believe Windows also installed it's monthly anti-virus update.  All virus scans have been negative.  Beyond that, there has been no other hardware or software changes. 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I found a solution to the problem, through early morning inspiration.  I thought as everything disappeared from the Printer folder, and kept being told that the printer was installed, that I would delete and reinstall other drivers that may (or may not) have been in the folder.  I seemed to recall that I had the generic Fax driver installed, and the Microsoft XPS Document Writer installed.  I went to "Add/Remove Windows Components", and deleted Fax Services.  I then went to the Printer file, clicked Add a Printer, and didn't receive the error message that the Print Spooler wasn't running, ect.  I then had no problem reinstalling the HP printer, Fax, and XPS drivers.

  • HT2421 If I attach a hard drive to the USB port, can I access it from the wired network, while simultaneously creating a separate wifi network with NO access to the hard drive?

    I already have a wireless network (call it Network A) with connectivity to various wired and wireless devices.  I have a USB hard drive that I directly attach to my MacBook Air.  I use it for Time Machine backups and general storage.  I would like to move this drive to an AirPort Extreme.  I would like to continue to be able to reach it via Network A, but also use the AirPort to create a guest Network (Network B).  I don't want the guest network to access the hard drive.
    Now, I know I can plug a hub into the USB port and put (I hear up to 3) hard drives on it.  Can I determine which ones are accessable by Network A, and by Network B? 
    Bonzo...

    Several things to consider.
    You cannot create a wireless network for guests if the AE is bridged. It has to be the main router in the network.
    You cannot use the existing TM backups on the USB drive.. if you plug into a network it will need to be wiped.. and only AC model can produce reliable TM backups.. the earlier models are not reliable for TM backups.
    See http://pondini.org/TM/Airport.html
    These two factors alone may be enough to make you reconsider.
    If you can create a guest network.. and you can overcome the limitations of airdisks.. then any person on the guest network should not be able to access the disk drive.. but if you wish to go ahead Bob Timmons might be able to confirm it.. I stay away from USB drives on routers.. I do not and will not use a router as a NAS.. it is underpowered and simply unsuitable long term.. a cheap single disk NAS is many times faster.. more reliable.. and has a marvellous thing called backup.. no USB disk or even internal disk in a TC can back itself up. .nor can TM backup network drives.. so any data you store on a USB drive is going to be gone one day.. unless you go to great lengths to back it up .. to where.. another USB drive plugged into another router somewhere.. the definition of slow.. should be copying files between two usb drives in an apple network using wireless. You will experience new levels of pain and suffering.. likened to the belly of the Sarlacc.

  • Replacement wired network card and driver for G4/OSX 10.3.9???

    Does anyone know of a wired network card that will work in a Mac (with or without a driver) when the one on the mother board is not longer functioning? It seems that my built-in Ethernet card was fried in a recent electrical storm and I'm looking for a replacement so I can connect to the internet again. My cable internet modem and cables were replaced after the storm and have been determined to be in working order.
    No theories, please -- I'm looking for a proven solution.

  • Network Drives not waking with computer from sleep after ML install(Wired connection)

    Since installing mountain lion my network drives do not wake with the computer. The drive folders for them are not on the desktop. I have to go through my shared directory and click on the drives again for them to appear back on the main screen.
    Any ideas?

    I tried the "usual" reset of PRAM and SMC and now it seemes to work correctly!

  • How can I share external devices connected to my Mac mini via USB on a wired network.

    Own a Mac mini with Mountain Lion.  Purchased the server app.  The Mac mini is connected to a wired network with Mac’s and Windows machines.  I have an external hard drive and 2 printers connected to the MAC mini via USB.  I would like to share these devices with other computers on the wired network. Although I have attached similar devices with an airport extreme in the past, I am unable to use a wireless router in this case.  Any suggestions on making this work with my current setup?

    You don't really even need server app to do this. Simply go to System Preferences | Sharing and turn on both File & Printer sharing. Then, for example, the printer (not relevant what connection it has but obviously USB is fine) will be available to everyone on the wired network.
    That's all there is to it - unless I missed/misunderstood something re: your setup which seems very straightforward.

  • HP LaserJet Pro m201dw suddenly not printing via ethernet (wired) network using Mac OS 10.10.1

    Hi,
    My brand-new HP LaserJet Pro M201dw is suddenly not cooperating when I go to print using my Mac. I had it set up following the directions which closest matched my OS and it worked perfectly for one week; today suddenly it won't cooperate. The printer is seen on the network. I have deleted and re-installed it from my System Preferences several times. I have rebooted my computer. I cannot seem to get it to work. Even the HP Utility is having difficulty. The HP Utility is suddenly slow and often needs to be force-quit as it hangs when I navigate to other applications (web browser, etc.) while waiting for it to respond to clicks. Most often the HP Utility shows the printer in the status ara as "Device Status: Unknown" and "Supplies: Unknown" which it wasn't having issues with yesterday.
    Can anyone help me troubleshoot this device? Is there better documentation than the basic setup page here on HP? What about adjusting some setting in the printer web page (which I can access) - is the answer in there?
    Thank you.

  • A few questions about setting up a network drive

    Hello,
    I have been trying setup a private server on my home network. I have a Netgear WNDR 3800 and have been trying to hook up my 2TB external drive to the router.
    I have been trying to decide how I want to format the drive, and how many partitions I should use.
    The reason I have a 2TB drive is because I needed a work space to create a image of a corrupt 500GB drive. The 500GB drive had my entire digital life on it, and it was almost lost. I dont want to encounter the same issue with a 2TB drive because at that point I feel like any issues would make it difficult for me to recover the data due to work space size issues. This is why I am thinking about using several partitions, but I am not sure what issues this might present.
    As far as format goes; the router says it supports read/write with FAT 16/32, NTFS, EXT 2/3, and I know it works with HFS. Here are the things that I am trying to do with the drive. (in order of importance)
    Use it as a Time Machine backup location for 1 possible more MBP's
    As a media sever to stream downloaded movies and music to A/V reciever (Pioneer VSX-822)  and possibly other devices on the network
    Act as a temporary storage location to swap files between devices or operating systems
    If possible not keep media on my computer and stream it from the network drive when I am home
    And, thats all I can think of right now. If there is something else useful I am missing that would need special attention in setting up a network drive let me know.
    So, I have had no problems getting the drive to connect and show up on the network when I use HFS. I have also been able to get multiple partitions to show up; been able to back up to different partitions; including time machine on one partition.
    So here is where I am running into problems; the router bios allows you to enable a media sever. I believe the router tries to do something with DLNA. DLNA I believe allows for a similar functions to airplay and cloud for basically all compatible non apple products. I dont care if I use DLNA, or Airplay. I just want to be able to access my music library over the network without having to have my computer open, or my iphone on me..ect.
    So I was wondering if anyone could help me out, or if there are any articles I should look at that I might have missed while I have been researching.
    Edit: I am sorry if this is posted in the wrong section, I figured the best people to ask about filesystem compatability and ease of use was going to be the System software section

  • HP Photosmart C5580 , I need a network driver for windows 7 64 bit.

    hello all  ,
    this is the only driver supplied by HP for my printer and Windows 7 64bit :
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software11/COL30128/mp-74904-1/PS_AIO_04_C5500_NonNet_Full_Win_WW_130_1...
    as you can see it is listed as "NonNet" and as it is such I am unable to print from ANY other computer in my house , I have been trying o solve this for months , Complete reinstalls of drivers (hundreds of times) and complete reinstalls of Operating systems , this will not work.
    (also , the only OS's supported under this drivers listing are the Windows 7 family only , could this be the problem?)
    What I have running now:
    Main PC , Windows 7 64bit ( the printer is installed here with above and only driver , all software and buttons work and prints as it should)
    XP MCE Laptop (sees the printer , installs it , shows it as ready , will NOT print)
    Vista Ultimate 32bit ( sees the printer , installs it , shows it as ready , will NOT print) 
    Vista Home Pro (sees the printer , installs it , shows it as ready , will NOT print)
    I am at a total loss other then this driver just is not right , maybe because its not a network driver??  I don't know but I am out of things to try , I have tried adding the port , finding the printer through the ip yada yada on all the PC"s , nothing works
    PLEASE if anyone has an answer or direction for me to go , please help.
    thanks , have a wonderful day.

    I'm not on a wireless netowrk , I have a fully wired network...still no printing (from other computers) if the C5580 is hooked to my Windows 7 64Bit PC
     I had to put the C5580 printer and drivers on one of my Vista PC's (in another room) and now all the PCs (even the windows 7 64bit) prints to that pc , the ONLY problem with that is I need that printer/scanner on my Windows 7 64 PC and need the other PCs to print to it , because I need the scanner and software in here.

  • Network drives randomly disconnecting, unable to reconnect

    I have been having an issue with network drives randomly disconnecting. When I try and reconnect using the Connect to Server dialog, the share is greyed out. My current workaround has been to open up terminal and run umount /Volume/Share_Name, and I am able to connect again afterwards. This is happening multiple times a day, and across multiple servers. I have poked around the forums and seen some people with similar issues, but the solution of connecting with cifs:// instead of smb:// has not made any difference.

    which ultimately means apple didn't do enough testing before releasing the last patch
    This is not always, and may not be, the case. What many don't realise is that many 3rd party developers stray from the 802.11 series specifications in an attampt to boost speed and get one up on their competitors. For instance D-Link, amongst others, use a short preamble setting by default in some of their routers to improve performance. However, this is non-standard and when it comes across wireless network adapters that don't support this then you have problems. They assume that their network adapters are being used for "maximum speed and compatibility". Whether Apple should or should not support a short preamble is another subject altogether.
    However, I do agree with you in that Apple should put more work into their Airport software.

  • Finder is very slow, particularly when using network drive

    I have a mid-2011 Macbook Air, OSX 10.9.4, and Finder is extremely slow, particularly when I am navigating my Time Capsule.  First, a little history.
    I have tried the fixes listed in these three threads:
    (1) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3358265?searchText=finder%20slow
    (2) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1324280?searchText=Finder%20is%20slow
    (3) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5495797?start=30&tstart=0
    Second, my Time Capsule is new.  I bought it to replace a WD MyBook that used to work really well, and then something changed.  Unfortunately, I assumed that it was some problem on WD's side, so after a year or two of waiting to see if either WD or Apple issued an update to fix it, I assumed it was some kind of file system incompatibility (or other interoperability problem) that wasn't likely to go away, and just sprung for the Time Capsule.  However, after getting all the files on the Time Capsule, the problem remains.  So here's a rundown of what I experience:
    When I navigate the directories on my Time Capsule, if I haven't been in a particular folder, it takes a very long time to load the contents.  On average, it will be 30 seconds, but it is not uncommon for it to be over a minute.  This can happen even if a folder is empty or has just a few files in it.  In addition, adding a subfolder and trying to rename it takes a very long time.  After renaming a new folder, it can then take another full minute or more for the folder to actually show the newly assigned name and bounce into line in alphabetical order.
    Here are some other observations.  First, my connection is very fast, as I'm directly connected to the Time Capsule (albeit via wireless).  Second, there is clearly something extra going on in Finder that is contributing to this issue, because I navigated to different directories using Terminal and did an "ls" command, and as you would expect, the list fired out virtually instantaneously.  Yet, right after that, if I clicked on that same folder with Finder, it would take a minute or more to display the same file names.
    Could it be that the Finder is doing other things at the same time as it is giving me a list of what is in the directory?  For example, could the Finder be loading ALL metadata for each of the files into some database or index being built on the fly every time I pop into a new folder, even if I'm not using a view mode where I am asking to see those other bits of metadata?  If so, that might make sense as I generally am using the network drive to navigate directories of my photographs, and they have a lot more categories of metadata associated with them than do Word docs and PDFs (e.g., date of picture, time of picture, aperture, shutter speed, exposure, etc.).  Or, perhaps is Finder trying to load previews of ALL of the files whenever a directory request is made, so that bouncing through the previews takes less time?  I sort of doubt that, because even after a directory listing finally comes up, it seems to churn a bit on each photo before the preview comes up, which I take as an indication that it's creating each preview only after a request is made for that particular file.  Either way, I will say that in old WinXP and even in the newer Windows 7, if you want to view files in a Detailed setting where you can see other metadata (called "Attributes"), it definitely prioritizes giving you a directory listing, and then continues filling in the various selected Attributes one-by-one after that.  Thus, if you want to sort by the date a photograph was taken (as opposed to its modified or created date, which seem to be default attributes that load as quickly (or nearly as quickly) as the filename), or by the photo's dimensions, it might take a few minutes to load in those attributes for a folder of a couple thousand pictures.  But, critically, if you are not planning on using those attributes, but rather, merely want to see how many files you have in that folder, or select them all and load them into a photo viewer, you won't have to wait for the file system to load the file attributes before you get a listing of the folder's contents.  It seems to me like the Finder, however, might actually be forcing you to wait until it has loaded all of those attributes.
    Does the foregoing sound like a plausible explanation of the problem to those out there with knowledge of how Finder actually works?  And if so, does that bring to mind any potential settings that could be turned off or any other work-arounds (since those I've tried have not fixed the issue)?
    If anyone has other ideas, I am all ears.  I am pretty annoyed that I sunk time into switching over to a Time Capsule on the assumption that Apple couldn't have had a bug this bad, only to find out that I was wrong.  The biggest irony is that my old WinXP computer used to rip through the folder structures with ease on the MyBook, but my fully updated Air is practically crippled by the same task.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Slow 10.8 time machine backup to wired network

    I have a MacPro with a big backup drive and a MacBook Pro that backs up to it over a wired network. Ever since I upgraded to ML, my backups have been extremely slow. [An incremental of 70 MB can take a few hours. A full backup reports weeks, and gets slower and slower. I've aborted after 30 days and 50% complete.]
    I plugged in a drive directly and that worked fine.
    I've tried lots of things I've read about in multiple places: repairing disks and permissions, resetting time machine, turning off spotlight and antivirus. I'm not sure what else to try.
    One thing to note: If I mount the  sparse backup image volume manually and copy a large (1GB) file to it, it seems to work fine. However, when TM is running it appears to get slower and slower.  It becomes extremely slow to access both in the finder and in the terminal [like minutes if I type ls].
    Any suggestions offered would be greatly appreciated.

    After a safe boot, TM still isn't working normally. It does usually work, it is just glacially slow (backing up over wired gigabit ethernet).
    On my just-backed-up laptop, I made a 2GB file from /dev/random. It took about 5 hours for TM to complete.
    Note that if I manually mount the backup drive and copy the file, it copies in about a minute.
    This is my trimmed log during the TM backup.
    I've deleted the following from the log to shorten it:
    every 15 minutes I get long messages from CalendarAgent, starting with:
    CalendarAgent[469]: [com.apple.calendar.store.log.caldav.queue] [Account refresh failed with error: Error Domain=CoreDAVHTTPStatusErrorDomain Code=401 "The operation couldn’t be completed. ...
    every 55 minutes I get lots of long spam from GoogleSoftwareUpdateDaemon, starting with:

    I have Dell Inspirion  15R with Win 8.1, printing to 4050 over wired network.  Print speed per page is fine, but the printer will print 1-2 pages, then pause, then print some more.  Only the "processing" msg on the printer tells me it is still working. I use same laptop on a wireless network to a different HP printer and there is no delay between pages. Others using Windows 7 do not have same problem. Driver is the latest.  Is this a problem with port or print queue ?
    Thanks

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
    I hope this helps.

  • Intel wired ethernet driver stops working

    We have this issue with several T400 and T500 series ThinkPads that the Intel ethernet driver stops working after a while. All this started to happen maybe a month ago. We have both 32- and 64-bit Windows 7 OSs.
    Wired ethernet works ok first, but after a few hours or a day or two this yellow exclamation mark appears on the network icon and it says limited or no connectivity. Wired network stops working and there is nothing we can do to fix this other than reboot the computer. It doesn't even shut down properly, just says "Shutting down" forever and blinks the HDD led maybe once a second. So we have to force it and after booting everything is ok until the next time this happens.
    When the network stops working, nothing can be done with the driver because everything just hangs. You cannot disable the connection or uninstall the adapter from Device Manager or anything. Unplugging the ethernet cable does not help either. There is nothing about this problem in the Event log other than about the symptoms of not having a network connection.
    What could be the source of this problem? Do you have any ideas about how to diagnose this problem further? We have the newest driver and I have also tried the newest driver from Intel.

    Go to Local Area Connection (Wired Intel adapter), Properties and the Configure button, in the Power Management Tab UNCHECK "Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power".
    Window7 does NOT always resolve IP and DHCP when it come out of sleep etc. All attempt to release/renew are in vain. I have seen this on various systems for some time. Occassionally a router reboot fixes it but most of the time is the PC. Frustrating but for Wired use this should always be disabled if you're using it a lot. Power savings is not in your best interest.
    Let me know if that does it.
