Wireless Internet configuration

I installed Solaris 10 8/07 on my Toshiba Satellite laptop and it is running great. I am now trying to connect to the internet with an external nic card, but can not get the OS to recognize the card or the slot. I have wireless satellite service in my home.
Can anyone give me help or ideas?

it have very simple solution first you should check its drive install or your execute command prtconf to see hardware component list attached to machine. most probably you have to install driver for that external NIC card. go for search its pkg on net.

I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet. I keep getting message that my network configuration settings have changed. Ive been advised that i need to change settings to look for dynamic ip address ?

I am having trouble connecting to my wireless internet and am getting the message that my network configuration settings have changed. I have reported it to my provider who advised that they think the Mac is looking for a fixed IP address and they use dynamic addresses. I have had the Mac for months and have not had this problem before. I would appreciate any help please on how to fix this ?

Then I get a separate pop up that says: Secure Connection Failed. aus3.mozilla:443 uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is only valid for the following names: securelogin.arubanetworks.com, www.securelogin.arubanetworks.com
(Error code: ssl_error_cert_domain)
This could be a problem with the server's configuration or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
If you have connected to this server successfully in the past the error may be temporary and you can try again later.
I have tried many many times!

Mac shows wireless internet connection, but Safari says "computer isn't connected to the Internet"

Situation:
Computer shows internet connection (full bars), but won't actually connect to the internet and load webpages
Attempted Fixes:
Reset Safari
Quit Safari
Restart the computer
Turn off the computer with router unplugged
Turn off Airport
Swear at the computer
Swear at the internet
Unplug the router and turn the Airport off too
Additional Info:
Second computer (mac) connects to the internet so it's not an internet problem.
Last few days the internet has been slowly dying on the computer (Mac OS X) in question. Meaning that the internet asks me for the router password constantly, which was a new development.
I have seen information about reseting Plists and a few other weird things, but I didn't want to do anything drastic based on someone elses issue. I figured it's best to bring my specific issue to the forum before destroying my Mac by randomly deleting Plists.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Wireless internet not working at my house when I use my laptop (using a linksys wrt54g2 router)

I am using a laptop for wireless internet (Dell D610). I have no problem using wireless internet at my school and in other places, but at my house, I can’t browse the internet. The router at my house has a strong signal (4 or 5 bars) and when I try to connect to it, it says that I am connected, but when I open up the internet browser, I can’t get online. The router is in a room right next to mine and it is on the same floor. It is a Linksys WRT54G2 router.
When I go to the network connections folder, for the wireless network connection icon, it says “not connected, firewalled.” I can still browse the internet, though (at places other than my house).
Another thing that I want to mention- I can't connect to other routers in the neighborhood either (the ones that aren't secured). It just doesn't connect (but for the router in my house, it connects). But my roommate told me that a bunch of people have connected to this one guy's router.
What is the problem here? What can I do to make the internet work? Why would I be able to access the school's wireless internet and not the one in my house?

Whats the Wireless Settings you have set on your Router, I there might be the possibility that you have set the security mode on your Router too high thats the reason you are not getting connected to your Wireless Network. Follow the setps to change the Wireless settings on your Router and i think this might help in getting you connected to your wireless network.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
- Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
- Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
Click on the Sub tab, Wireless MAC Filter..
Make sure the Wireless MAC Filter on your Router is Turned Off.
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

IMAC Wireless Internet Connection Problems All Of A Sudden

My Imac is well over a year and a bit old and has been able to connect to my wireless internet connection absolutely fine until the past week and a half. At first the connection wouldn't work and when I would turn my airport on and off and reset the router, it would eventually work, now that is not working at all. My airport status is either showing 'airport is turned on but is not connected to a network' or 'airport has a self-assigned ip address and may not be able to connect to the internet'
I have formatted my imac twice and still no avail and the last format I tried to join wirelessly straight from boot but it wouldn't join saying 'there is a problem with the wireless connection and you're not connected to the internet.' the annoying thing is I can see the network sitting there and can't join it, my network is also unsecure so no need to input a password. All my home PC's and my Iphone and Blackberry find the network easily enough, although recently the Iphone has began showing only 1 bar of wifi connection.
I am at my wits end as I am unable to connect at all now, I am all out of ideas and have been bashing my head off a wall for the past day without any connection at all.
My router is a buffalo AirStation wireless G high power model, my IMAC is an intel core 2 duo 20", if you need anymore information of my hardware I will gladly provide it. I'm running MAC OSX Leopard 10.5, out the box as I've been unable to run any software updates as I can't connect to the internet.
Please, if anyone can shed any light at all on this issue I would definately try anything.
Thanks in advance and regards.

Anytime you see a self-assigned IP address in your network prefs you know it surely is a problem
with your router configuration. Power down all equip ... make sure modem is off for at least 5 minutes
restart modem, restart iMac ... check your network pref on iMac and make sure it's not 169.x.x.x
If so you will need to recapture the settings from your ISP's modem to the Buffalo.
Always use a secure wireless connection (WEP, WPA, WPA2) or else the whole neighborhood will suck down your bandwidth the slow down what your paying for. I use Time Capsules or AEBS (Airport Extreme Base Stations) that allow you to stealth mode and lower signal output and make the device
as a "closed network" ... meaning no one else can see and tap into your WIFI home network!
802.11N is better than G. and especially when you can use dual bands 2.4 / 5GHz to stop various home interferences. The backup of Time Machine only makes life much easier also! Xtech

Set up headaches: two AX, one for music one for wireless internet

I hope someone can please help, have gone round and round with this, although I assyne it's easy for those in the know.
So I have one AX connected via ethernet to a modem. This is set up as a wireless network on my macbook - all good... although the connection is pretty lame given that the AX is just down the hall.
I have another AX in the room with the macbook, sitting next to the stereo. This is just for music (not a wireless/internet connenction). How do I set this up? I try to go to AP Utility, but it always wants to switch the network, so I know this ain't the right way.
I guess it has to do with connecting the second AX up to the first, but it's all so bloody technical (to me - ugh).
Thanks for any help.
I guess it must be how to set up the first

I try to go to AP Utility, but it always wants to switch the network, so I know this ain't the right way.
Yes that is correct. You would temporarily switch networks to connect to the 2nd AirPort Express (AX). Then configure that AX to join the wireless network provided by the other AX. Then you will only have one wireless network.

You don't need any software to run the router at all. Connect with your wired computer to 192.168.1.1 username blank, password admin and configure your router manually like everyone else.

Airport Express with wireless internet 101

I want to be able to use my G4 powerbook without plugging it in through an ethernet cable for my internet connection. I have wireless internet, but I connect with it via ethernet through a router (Linkskys NR041), which is essentially a cable/DSL router. This seems something of a paradox to me. My computer picks up that there is a wireless signal, but I don't seem to have a way of accessing that without ethernet. Is Airport Express going to make this internet setup truly wireless for me, or do I need an Airport Extreme Base station as well? I don't really understand how the two of these are different, even after reading some of the reviews. I get lost as soon as it goes into technical language, so a simple explanation would be appreciated. Thanks anyone who has the time to help.

It sounds like your experience is what I am looking for, but I seem to be missing something with my setup. I have used wifi on my travels, so I'm familiar with doing the Airport setup, but this doesn't seem to work when I'm at home.
In Network, I have Location set to Automatic, but then when I click Assist Me and go to Diagnostics, it says it appears to be working normally. I click Yes anyway, and continue to select locationl, which is Automatic, then it asks me to Choose Network Port Configuration. If I choose Airport, the next window shows Airport with a green light, but shows that Airport Settings and Network Settings have failed. The right hand box asks me to select an Airport Network. None show up, so I click Closed Network down below. The next window then requires me to give a Network Name, and choose an option for Wireless Security, and give a password. I have no idea what WEP or WPA means, but anyway, no matter what I choose, the next page always tells me I am unable to join the Airport Network. Is there some information I am supposed to have that I don't? When I originally set up my computer with my ethernet connection, I just plugged into my router and the computer read all the information it needed and configured itself.

Setting up a password for my wireless internet

We have a linksys wireless router I believe, (and macbooks) and our wireless internet that both my roommate and I use is not secured...ie: anyone can connect to it. To prevent my neighbors in the apartments and buildings around us I would like to set up a password for my roommate and I for our wireless. I have no idea how to do this. Can someone tell me the steps or whatever I need to do?
Thanks!

You do this in the router's configuration. Most LinkSys routers can be accessed through your browser by entering the router's access address into your browser's address bar. For example, http://192.168.0.xxx, where xxx is the last node of the router's IP address. You will find this in the router's user manual in a section on configuring from a browser.
Once into the configuration pages look for a section on security. Choose WPA2 security (do not use WEP) and set your password. For additional protection you can also set up a "private" network in which you enter the MAC addresses of only the computers you will allow access. Even if someone hacks your password they will not be able to access your network unless you list their MAC address in the router's private network configuration.

Wireless Internet - Wireless Router - PS3 or XBOX

So, I have searched a bit through the forum and cannot seem to find help.
I have a Dell Laptop using a D-Link Wireless card for my internet.
I just bought the Linksys WRT54GS Ver 6 router.
How do I set it up so that I can use my PS3 or XBOX 360 to use my wireless internet? I am fairly PC literate, but this is confusing me.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

First of all you need to configure this router for internet connection and wireless connection. Once setup then, you need to configure your Xbox or PS3 with the same wireless settings and assign static IP on it. Now configure your router with the port forwarding for the Xbox or PS3 with that static IP. You may also reduce the MTU on this router to 1365.

Wireless Internet Connection Slow

Whenever I access the internet on my Mini, the speed is slower than my other wireless internet connections on my PCs. Whenever I click a link or type in a URL to go to, it takes awhile for it to connect to the site (in the status bar, it will be stuck on the "Looking up -url-" for a bit); once it is connected, it loads fairly fast.
However, using the same wireless internet network, the internet speed on my PC computers are significantly faster. Is there a way to solve this speed issue? I've gotten used to it somewhat, it would just be nicer if it was the normal, faster speed that it's supposed to be.
-My ISP is Comcast
-I use Airport Extreme to connect to the wireless network

Might be a DNS issue, like we are talking about in this other thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1619004&tstart=0
If the DNS is misconfigured, the PCs may have different timeout threshholds from the Mac, and perhaps they jump to the next DNS quicker than the Mac does.
Anytime you see lots of "looking up" messages, it's a good bet the DNSes are not configured right.

Slow wireless internet connection using airport extreme

My wireless internet connection works but is very slow (<80kbs). The problem seems to be with the airport extreme (brand new, purchased in May 07) because my connection is very fast (>6mbs) when i connect by wire to the airport extreme base station. Signal strength is strong, so i can't figure out the problem. Any ideas?
imac Mac OS X (10.4)

BK37, I hope you've solved your problem by now. But if not, and for the benefit of others reading this post, let me share what I (finally) discovered when I had virtually the same problem, i.e. 8mbps wired speed, <50kbps wireless speed.
I tried literally <span style="font-style:italic;">every suggestion I could find in the Airport discussions. First, I can assure you that changing the channel can give you incremental speed improvements in some instances, but for radical drops like yours, it's not the answer. Nor is turning off ipv6, or changing to WEP, or turning off Remote Access, or moving the AEBS, or or or or or....
With such a radical drop in speed, it's most likely you have a hardware-related blockage somewhere. In my case it was my wiring configuration. My setup was France Telecom Livebox (ADSL modem / ethernet & 802.11g router) --> Ethernet cable --> Linksys RTP 3100 IP phone adapter / router --> Ethernet cable --> AEBS --> 3 Airport Express set up to extend network and run AirTunes. After eliminating every other possible problem, I narrowed it down to the Linksys router, which for reasons I have yet to figure out was trapping the speed to the AEBS. I ethernet cabled both the Linksys router and the AEBS directly to the Livebox and presto! Back to blazing speed.
Hopefully this info will be helpful to you or some poor soul in the same situation, as I would have loved to have had it myself before I pulled every hair out of my head!

Extending a wireless internet connection to another part of a building

We have a wrt54g wireless router connected to a quest dsl modem. we now want a wireless internet connection in another part of the building which is out of range of the wrt54g. the two areas are about 200 ft apart and i can run a cat5 cable to new area. Can i install a second wrt54g in the new area and how exactly do i configure it for security and connectivity.
Thanks
Gary

Yes, you can do what you described. You can run cat5 cable if you want, but it will need to be very high quality (i.e. professional grade) cat5 cable installation to make a 200 foot connection. If you are doing this yourself, I would suggest you start with good quality cat5e cable for such a long run. And make sure the cat5e connection works before you string the cable.
You will also need to convert the second router to a WAP (wireless access point), by making a few simple setting changes.
For instructions on setting up your system, see my post at:
