Common Issues for Mac Users Connection Issues: Check to See if ALL Computers are Affected If you have more than one computer that connects through the Wireless Router, check to see if all clients are affected. This may allow you to skip sections of this guide that are not relevant to you. Consider these questions: Is Only One Computer Affected? If so, concentrate on troubleshooting client settings on that computer. Make sure that its AirPort card is properly installed, with the antenna connected.
How do I File Share without using Apple Talk? Using standard TCP/IP methods, file sharing and local networking can be accomplished. Connecting to a Server To connect to a server (OS X 10.1 and above) using your Mac Keyboard hit the Apple Symbol and K simultaneously. This will bring up a window to Connect to a Server. Enter the Server IP address here and it will be added to your network. Connecting to Mac Computers over the LAN OS X will automatically find Mac OSX based computers in your network.
View the Apple website for the latest information on your OS updates and AirPort Card Updates. Use appropriate AirPort software and base station firmware For Mac OS 9 AirPort versions 2.0 and 2.0.2 for Mac OS 9 work with Mac OS 9.0.4 or later, but Mac OS 9.1 or later is best. For Mac OS X To get the latest version of AirPort software that works with your version of Mac OS X, use Software Update preferences.
Appendix A How to Manually find your Windows PC’s IP and MAC address 1) In Window’s open the Command Prompt program 2) Type Ipconfig /all and • • • Your PC’s IP address is the one entitled IP address (192.168.1.77) The router’s IP address is the one entitled Default Gateway (192.168.1.
Glossary Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.
Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC). TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP).
