WRT54GS cannot connect via wire...connects wirelessly

I have a WRT54GS and cannot connect laptop via wire.
I can connect wirelessly, but when I try hard wire no go.
I have attempted to update the ethernet adapter it is up to date.
I have rebooted
I have put the mac address into my router. no go
If I connect the wire from the laptop directly to the cable modem it works.

Hooked it to another cable right by the router WRT54GS and it connected, and it worked.
Also If I bypass the router from the non working location it works.
No error message there is however a little red X between the router and the www globe when I try and use the wizard.
No access restriction...just tried it fwiw
Have not tried upgrading
or
Not tried default

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.

My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either. I get an error message with multiple suggestions but none of them apply to my situation.
I am so dissatisfied with this printer. I'm sorry I got it from Amazon because now it is a hassle to return it. I will never buy another Canon.
The printer menus are confusing. I hate using it. I loved my previous Canon which finally stopped working after many years, that's why I purchased a newer Canon model. Never again. Stick with cameras.

This note won't be as angry and frustrated as the last one...
Because I still had my old printer drivers and other applications on my hard drive, I think the application was trying to connect with the old printer. I deleted all the old stuff.
I also had several scanning applications on my drive which just confused me.
When I used the actual Canon MX922 application, I was able to scan but could only save as JPG, TIF or BMP (and one more, I forget which). So I did some research on the Canon site and found out how to save documents as PDF files using the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
It works now. So I'm satisfied, will keep this maching. I just had to take some time, sit down and focus on the problem.

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

Connecting via Comcast Airport wireless -- 2 computers, 2 operating systems

This is a quirky problem. Tried to get help from my ISP, Comcast, and Apple. To no avail. Have two computers. One a Powerbook G4. Is connected to Comcast Internet via Airport, a CompUSA router, system 10.3.9. No problems.
Here's where the quirky part comes in. Have a G4. Has two hard drives. One hard drive is configured to 10.3.9. It sees the Airport wireless fine (it is in a separate building but close enough to pick up the connection). However, the second hard drive, which is running 9.2.2, simply won't connect. I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of. Looked at other threads, followed their advice. Manually input the IP, Subnet Mask, Router Address, etc., even though Comcast is a DHCP server that usually is automatic. Checked the TCP/IP control panel and that AppleTalk is active and using Ethernet.
Is it even possible to have a computer with two different hard drives with two different operating systems and have both connecting via wireless?
You may wonder why not convert both to OS 10? Because we have some older hardware that functions great and cannot be brought up-to-date and we wish to still use it.
Any advice would be absolutely appreciated! Thanks!!!!

By now, you undoubtedly realize that although I can work my way through problems, I am not a major techie. However, your response did help me tremendously in that I realized that on my harddrive with the 9.2.2 system, I did not have an Airport option/control panel. Big oops! So, I downloaded and installed it and all looked great UNTIL I went to connect to our private Comcast network, which, by the way, works great with the harddrive 10.3.9 already installed in this same computer in the second harddrive. The message I keep getting when I try to connect to our Airport network is an error -3151. I used the disk utility to no avail. And, at first, it kept telling me there was a password error . . . which there is not. I even tried the "easy fix" of turning off the computer and restarting. Still no help. Any ideas?

Connect via ethernet but wireless for internet

I don't know why, but my apple tv seems to have forgotten how to connect to the internet and I can't make it remember, lol. Now I will stress, this used to work, and I don't know why it suddenly doesn't work anymore...
Basically I have wireless set up at home for the internet. However, I connect to my apple tv via direct ethernet cable between my imac and the apple tv itself. I have set up internet sharing in preferences to share my airport connection over ethernet, which my apple tv used to be able to use ok to connect to the itunes store/you tube, etc. However, it now can't. I had some trouble with it this morning where it wouldn't connect to the ethernet network at all, although it now does. However, it no longer uses the iMac as it's router and I can't seem to figure out why. Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Another slow internet connection via Airport Extreme wireless thread

Has anyone actually solved this mystery? The last substantial thread I came across regarding this subject ended with a solution using a dell wireless driver. That ended somewhere in December. Any solutions, tips?

I seem to have found a fix, thanks to Michael G. Noll (http://www.michael-noll.com/blog/2006/07/24/intel-imac-wireless-connection-slowd own-with-wpatkip/).
I switched to WAP Personal from WEP and my iMac is now able to connect via wifi from a router in another room, and at normal speeds! Thanks Mike! I hope it lasts. I also changed my routers channel and made it static instead of automatic, but I don't think this had anything to do with the fix (though it may have solved my MacBooks problem of dropping the connection for a second every minute or 2).
I still have the problem of having to manually select my network after start-up and wake-up, however. It does not turn on automatically.

Lost internet connection via time capsule, wireless signal grayed out. What may be wrong?

My mac mini started intermitently losing connection to the Internet. Checked settings, look OK, no changes. Wireless signal icon in the menu bar is sometimes full sometimes grayed out (no connection at all). Other computers connecting via the same Time Capsule without any problems. I've serched forums and tried some suggestions to no avail. My mini is core 2 duo 1.83 GHz, 2GB RAM. Snow Leopard up to date.
What may be wrong?

Well, I reset the TimeCapsule to factory settings and configured it again for my home network and all works like a charm again.

Cannot logon via VPN connection using an ICS server

At home I have a small network set up, using a central PC A on which Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is enabled (IP address 192.168.0.1 is allocated to this PC). PC B, having VPN client V4.0.x loaded, is connected to PC A. ICS dynamically attributes an IP address 192.168.0.n to PC B. Although a VPN connection (via IP address 194.79.185.227) can be created with a server at the office over the internet, it is impossible to perform a Windows logon and map for example a drive. When using a direct internet link via a telephone modem, it is possible to logon on the office server via the VPN connection.
I have the impression the Cisco firewall inhibits the logon, because of a IP address conflict. When looking into the "Status/Statistics/Route details" window of the VPN client, I notice the secured route 173.19.31.0 is available during the VPN connection. Using the direct telephone line it is possible to ping this address. On the same PC this is impossible, when the ICS server (PC A) is used for the internet communication. The server I am trying to reach at the office has IP address 173.19.31.1.
On the Cisco web site, I found out, that such a configuration should work. Which settings are important with this respect?

I have never found a version of ICS that works with VPN.

Mac/Apple TV Connectivity via ethernet connection problems

I am having a connectivity issue with my Mac and Apple TV. I am connected to the internet via cable modem and ethernet lines. I have my Mac, Apple TV and cable modem all connected via a Netgear 5-port ethernet switch (10/100 Mbps). I am able to connect to the iTunes store (internet) with either my Mac or Apple TV by unplugging my cable modem and reconnecting with one device "on", but in order to switch from Mac to Apple TV (or vice versa) it is necessary to sleep the one device, and reconnect with the other. I am unable to communicate from the Apple TV to my Mac iTunes without a direct ethernet cable between them.
I suspect there's something in the system preferences that I'm not doing. All devices seem to work OK in isolation but not together.
Any ideas?

cuatro,
welcome to discussions.
Your issue is with the Netgear switch. It needs to be a router and also provide DHCP and NAT. It might be able to do this by re-configuring. In fact, as you describe it as a 5-port switch, it's very likely that one port is on the WAN side (internet) and the other four are LAN side (local). Which model switch is it ?
The issue start with the cable modem, which will only provide one Ethernet port and one IP address to access the internet. Your Netgear should really then put up a firewall and provide up to 4 local IP addresses (a LAN) for sharing access to the internet. It looks like it's not doing this, but just sharing the one IP address (supplied by your cable ISP) amongst all the attached devices. This can be a nightmare, as you are finding out.
Let us know about the Netgear and we can help.
Just in case the Netgear is unable to do what we want it to, does your G5 have more than one Ethernet port ? Is it physically possible to connect the cable modem directly to the G5 ? (are the cables long enough?) Is it physically possible then to connect the AppleTV to the G5 ? If not directly, then via the Netgear ?
It may be that you will have to spend about £30 on a router with firewall / DHCP / NAT / etc, or £40-£50 on a top-of-the-range wireless-n router, which your AppleTV will love. I'm almost certain that your existing Netgear is sufficient though.

Connection via UD Connect in BI system to external MSSQL 2005

Hello experts,

I want to setup connection according to guide "How to u2026Configure UDConnect on the J2EE Server for JDBC Access to External Databases (SAP NW 04 - SAP BW 3.5)". I have problem with create RFC destination under "JCo RFC Provider" in Visual Administrator. I don't known where I can add new RFC destination as is write in this guide.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards

> I have problem with create RFC destination under "JCo RFC Provider" in Visual Administrator. I don't known where I can add new RFC destination as is write in this guide.
You're searching for the "new" button, right? I was searching that too.
Just select one RFC destination, change the name and press on "save" - this will add a new one. Not very intuitive but it works.

HT202157 My Apple TV will not update and it is connected via ether not wireless

I have an earlier version Apple TV and I have tried to update it several times using several methods. I am connected to the internet via ether and not wireless and teh signal is good. I can stream without any issues ever. the update is downloaded fine but not installed. I get a failure to update message. I have tried to updat normally, restore, reset, etc...... I have no more ideas.

Welcome to the Apple Community Bro.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    1.    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    2.    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    3.    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    4.    Open iTunes.
    5.    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

AirDisk File Sharing - Saving Files - Unable to connect via wires then...

OK, I followed these instructions from another poster as I was unable to save Microsoft Word documents directly to the drive via the "Save As" option...
-------- PREVIOUS POSTERS INFO ----------
The solution that works for me is to mount the AirDisk(s) using SMB instead of AFP.
This means you should log on the AEBS and configure the Disk for Windows File Sharing - this is on the 'File Sharing' tab of the Disks configuration group.
You only need to put in a Workgroup Name (I used "Basestation"). Don't worry about the WINS Server.
You should update your AEBS, and turn of the AirDisk Utility.
You then mount your disk(s) using SMB. You can do this using the Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server.
Enter the following:
smb://"YourBaseStationName".local./"YourDiskName"
You should then be asked to enter the Workgroup name, the disk name and the disk password.
This should mount your AirDisk using SMB.
In my experience, this not only solved my problem re saving within Word/Excel, but also increased the speed with which I can access the AirDisk...
(If you want these Disks to mount automatically when you login, then Add these disks to you Start Up items in your login account...)
-------- END POSTER ------
OK, so here is my problem... After doing this, I was able to save a file directly to the drive... I also followed these instructions as it said it would be faster overall... Now, I use Apple Backup 3.1 to backup both my laptops to my external hard drive on the Extreme. Well, when I brought up the drives on my desktop, the names didn't change, but the names of the drives were all capital letters... I think this threw off the Backup program because it said that it doesn't recognize this location, therefore, it showed that he had never backed up to that location before. So, figuring I changed it and caused a few minor changes, that I would just erase the hard drive, plug the hard drive directly into the laptop as I had done before to speed up the inital backup, and then go back to wireless backups thereafter as they wouldn't be "full" backups and would then be faster and tolerable. Well, when I went to connect the drive to my laptop via the USB cable, you could hear the drive mounting, you could see the drives mounted in Disk Utility, but they refused to show up on the desktop, no matter what. What does this mean? Did making the drives work as File Sharing drives make them no longer able to mount via a cable anymore? What gives? Any ideas?

1. My USB 500GB External Hard Drive is currently
partitioned into three different drives. The Volume
Format is "Mac OS Extended (Journaled), what is
that?
Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is one of the HFS formats. Apple does not use the term HFS anymore but it is the same thing. You can find a good explanation about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HFS_Plus
This will explain journalling, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journalingfilesystem
2. What is a FAT volume? What does FAT stand for?
Where would I select that?
Here is an explanation about FAT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FileAllocationTable
It is a choice in Disk Utility when you erase a disk.
3. What is an HFS volume? What does HFS stand for?
Where would I select that?
See above: Mac OS Extended.
It is a choice in Disk Utility when you erase a disk.
4. What does SMB mean/stand for?
It stands for Server Message Block explained here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ServerMessageBlock
It is a protocol for connecting to volumes over a network.
5. What does AFP mean/stand for?
It stands for Apple File Protocol explained here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleFilingProtocol
It is also a protocol for connecting to volumes over a network.
- Yes, I tried to save an MS Word document to my
AirPort Disk, but it hung up and I got the spinning
beach ball and ended in an error and I had to force
Microsoft Word to quit. Then I saw that posting and
I tried that, I was then able to open an MS Word
document and save it directly to the drive the first
time. However, like I said, it messed up my Backup
3.1 (When mounting as SMB) and made it believe that
this was a whole new drive and that it hadn't backed
up to it before, when it had, but only when I
connected as AFP.
Did Backup work when you connected using AFP?
- So, this would've been a simple fix if I plan on
staying with SMB share, however, when I go to connect
my USB External Hard Drive directly to my laptop, the
partitions do not mount on my drive like they had
before I made the drives a File Sharing device
through AirPort Utility.
Try using Disk Utility to repair the disk or disk permissions and see if you can read it again.
6. How do I get that drive to be recognized by my
computer again when I connect it directly to my
laptop?
I don't know why this is happening you may want to call Apple Support about that.
7. I don't care about anything Windows/PC, so
whatever way is FASTER and provides the BEST results,
let me know!
If you don't have PCs then stick with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as your volume file format.
8. Also, when I select "Connect to server" and then
click "Browse" and then "Network" nothing shows up in
there, but when I type the path in they connect just
fine, why?
That's strange! All available network volumes should show up when you click on the Network icon in the Finder. I don't know why it is not working for you.
THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP!
Some thoughts!
I would stick with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as your volume file format. If backing up to the network share is important to you, I would wait until Apple fixes the problem regarding opening and saving Word files directly to the network share (Air Disk). Save them locally and then copy them to the network share.
