What do I need to connect my desktop computer wirelessly over the internet? I got a router and several laptops, but recently I made a purchase on a desktop PC, and I want to connect it wirelessly instead of through the Ethernet.

Hardware :: Connecting IMac With Two Machines To Internet Wirelessly

Apr 7, 2008

I'm purchasing a new iMac intel core2 duo and want to connect it and my G4 500MHz Power Mac tower and 550Mhz PowerBook wirelessly to the internet. I have Cable modem at the front of my house and will put the iMac in a different room about 10m away. I have my G4 tower separate from the house about 40m away and my PowerBook won't be more than 10m from the modem. I am purchasing a 500GB Time Capsule to act as a wireless router and as an external hard drive for the iMac. How do I, or can I, connect the other two macs to the internet wirelessly?

The advice 1: iMac is fine.
G4 Tower_install an airport express card (802.11n) and insert where the old card should go. It should connect to internet wirelessly.
PowerBook_same thing(?)
The advice 2:
G4 Tower_install a Shintaro USB2.0 5-Port PCI Card and Addlogix USB 2.0 54MBps Wireless Adaptor
PowerBook_can't do anything for it.

Laptops :: Using Connecting IBook G4 Wirelessly To DSL Modem?

Mar 23, 2010

I recently changed providers and started DSL. I have a modem with built-in wireless capabilities. Set it up for my desktop (wired) and all worked well. My son has an iBook G4 running 10.4.11 - same as my desktop. It has an Airport card in it so we figured he should be able to connect to the modem wirelessly. Set it up and it worked well for one day. Following day it would not connect.

I set up the wireless connection with WPA-PSK selected and channel 9 selected. Made sure the iBook was set the same. When prompted for the password we get an error message stating there is an "error" connecting to the modem. Using the set up assistant for the Airport card yielded no change.

Today we turned off the WPA-PSK and he can connect with no problem. I'm not entirely comfortable with WPA shut off. I read something that implied the password needs to be a certain length to work for some settings - notably WEP. I used an 8 character password for the PSK.

Let me know if you need any specs from my laptop, my os is the latest version of leopard, not snow leopard tho.

Hardware :: Connecting IMac Wirelessly To Play Music?

May 6, 2010

I have recently bought an iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo) and would like to connect it to my stereo (Sony digital audio/video control centre STR-K785 which is set up around my TV) in the same room.

I am wondering whether I should just use cables (would be awkward and messy) or whether I can use any of these devices which I have and whether they would be any good?

Time Capsule (with an Airport Express?) PS3

Beyonwiz (high def PVR which seems to have networking capabilities)

Power Mac :: Getting A G5 To Work Wirelessly With AT&T?

Feb 21, 2012

I have a G5 and am moving it downstairs to replace my wife's old Dell PC. But I need it to now work wirelessly.

I had this computer upstairs next to the AT&T modem and ran an ethernet cable to it. The Dell has a LINKSYS USB54GC adapter which let it work wirelessly.

Can I somehow use this on my G5, or do I need to purchase a ASUS USB-N10 EZ Network Adapter?  Add 802.11b/g/n wireless capability to any Mac or PC with available USB Port. Sells for $27.99 at Other World Computing. 

Info:
Mac OS X (10.5.2)

OS X :: WiFi - Cannot Connect To Internet Wirelessly

Sep 2, 2009

Recently did a reinstall now I cant connect to the internet wirelessly. It worked fine before, all other computers in the house still work on the network.

Macbook (OS X 10.5)
SpeedStream Wireless Modem (Bell Sympatico Provider)

- It Shows me connecting to the network fine but It wont load up any net.
- My wired connection works.
- I cant access my router page via browser unless I am hardwired to the modem
(Should I be able to without internet access if I am actually connected to the network?)

I notice when hard wired I get settings of.
IP: 192.168.2.10
Subnet: 255.255.255.0

When not Wired I get
IP: 169.254.209.184
Subnet: 255.255.0.0
(I renewed DHCP lease and get the same)
(I entered all the IP and Subnet manually (same as wired settings) but it still would not connect.

I also tried re-install os X, as well as resetting my modem and setting my home network back up.

Hardware :: Airport Won't Connect To The Internet Wirelessly?

OS X :: MBP Connected Wirelessly To Netgear DG834 But Cannot Connect To The Internet?

Jul 24, 2009

I am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to a new Netgear router (the Mac worked flawlessly with the previous wireless router). It claims to be connected to the Internet through Network Diagnostics but cannot resolve any sites (or gmail etc) in both Safari & Firefox. (And yes, all updates have been installed, and yes it connects flawlessly via Ethernet.)

I don't think it's the new router as my iPhone happily connects through it as well as a wireless PC notebook that I have, so why is the MacBook Pro having a problem?

OS X :: Running Terminal Command / Connecting To Ssh Through Dock Icon

Aug 18, 2010

I've use a terminal command to create a SOCKS proxy through my ssh server (ex. ssh -D 2008 -l user server.here), to which I am then prompted to enter a password, and everything is connected. For the sake of ease of use (as I need to do this frequently), is there any way I can make a dock icon, or something along those lines, so I can just click it, it runs the command, I enter a password (or maybe even not?) and it's all set? I have tried setting up a workflow in automator to run a shell script, but it is unsuccessful, leaving me with "Run Shell Script failed: Pseudo-terminal will not be allocated because stdin is not a terminal."

OS X :: Unable To Connecting To Internet?

Aug 8, 2009

I'm an iBook G4 user. I've had my computer for about 4 years and never had any problems, but in the past two weeks, I've been experiencing a lot of difficulty with my internet.

The problem's got to be with airport, because I'm connected right now with an ethernet cable and am having no issues.

Using my airport, I can still usually connect to the internet-- in fact, when I first connect to a wireless network, I have strong signal strength-- but I lose my internet connection after just a few minutes.

When I click on "Open internet connect," I can often reconnect to the network, but then I get the error message "out of range of network" and am booted off again.

This has happened to me on two separate internet networks-- both in my home and at the library-- so I think the problem is with my computer, not the signal.

There's not any physical object blocking the signal as far as I can see, and I've been able to use this wireless network in the past without any problems. (It's my partner's network and is and password protected, so it's not like I'm stealing it from someone next door or something.)

I'm running Mac OS X.

I've looked at getting airport express, but I don't want to pay money for something that may or may not fix the problem.

Hardware :: Best Way Of Connecting To Internet

I have had non stop trouble with my internet connection. I use Tiscali in the UK via a Netgear router and an Airport Extreme (the UFO shaped one). I now cannot access the web again and have been told by Tiscali that they do not provide technical help for either Apple or Netgear. A couple of questions.

PowerPC :: G5 Not Connecting To Internet?

Sep 9, 2009

I have G5 that I am running leopard on. I have an airpot extreme network setup in the house. The G5 shows its connected to the network but will not open internet pages. It was working fine a few days ago. I also have a Macbook that works great on the network and can connect to the internet. All the network settings seem to be the same for the G5 and the Macbook. Literally one day it worked and the next it did not. Is there a setting I am missing somewhere that would cause it not to be able to open internet pages?
