Our Wifi network is unsecured and not broadcasting it's SSID.

My iPod can connect to the network, but every time I turn on the iPod I have to manually type in the Network Name to connect?

Is there someway to commit this to the iPods memory so that I don'T have to type it in each time?

Thanks for any help!

The reason I have a network like this is a long story - to make it short...

I am planning to build a file server (in a cheaper way) by using a Mac mini with 2TB of external HD attached to it (as start). The Mac mini will be running the Mac OS X Server to handle all the user/account and the external HD can be expended with daisy-chain setup when adding extra storage.

Every user will connect to the storage through the Mac mini and user will have to work off the server which mean user will always connected to the server and there will be a lot of network activity and HD activity as user will constantly reading, writing, moving...etc data on the server.

I am a bit concern that this setup will not work and everything will go very slow. Appreciate if anyone can give me some advice and recommendation.


Thanks~

We have a Time Machine and Airport Express in our house. Right now we have 2 laptops on the wireless network, and a couple of ipods.

We also have a Time Machine in the house. I believe the Time Capsule is what the computers connect to and the port is and umm... extension(?) to the network. Sorry if the terminology is wrong.

Anyway, everything is working.

Oh we also have a Wii on this network.

Anyway - we just got an xbox360, and when trying to setup wifi the network scan isn't detecting our network.

I'm pretty sure our network is broadcasting... But to be honest I can't find where I can change those settings!

Anyway, seems the XBox is not seeing my wireless network. Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated!

I'm at my wits end. Almost.

[UPDATE]

Okay I found in Manual Settings where I can ensure my network is being broadcast, and it is.

I also read around online and see that many people have issues with Time Capsule and Xbox 360. However, I haven'T read of anyone simply not being able to see the network.

This looked promising.

But I actually have it set at 802.11n (b and g compatible) already.

Windows XP machines outside the subnet can connect to the SMB shares (I've port forwarded 137-139 and 445 to the server), OSX 10.4 machines no longer can (they could connect to the 2003 machine).

So Recently I have this issue where when I am connected to the base station wireless I get download speeds of 5Mb but when I connect direct via Cat 6 I get 15Mb. It used to be fine I would get 15-20Mb when wireless. I did some testing with a 100MB image. I transferred the image to several locations on my network both wired and wireless and timed the transfer. The difference in transfer speeds between wired and wireless was ver minimal so it doesnt seem to be an internal network issue.

My setup is a Verizon Fios Cable/modem/router that I have configured to pass the IP to the airport which is configured for DHCP for my devices. I ran a scan of nearby networks and made sure that all my channels and freq's where all different than every one else, I have turned robustness off and on with no change, I have done several hard resets, and I am lost. What could cause the wireless speed to be soo slow? I used to download itunes movies in a matter of minutes now it wants almost 2 hours unless I connect a Cat 6 cable direct to the airport??? ]]> b4tn http://macosx.com/forums/networking-compatibility/311569-stumped-airport-extreme-wireless-internet-crawls-wired-flys.html Sharing files and folders http://macosx.com/forums/networking-compatibility/311436-sharing-files-folders.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:00:02 GMT Scenario: 1. iMAC with AIRPORT 192.168.2.230 LAN ETH3 10.0.0.230 2.

3. Network printer 10.0.0.11

4. Switch 10.0.0.x ( for the UTP based network segment)
The PC and the printer and the iMac are connected to this switch.
This is the 10.0.0.x segment.

5. Router ( Thomson Speedtouch ) for ADSL an wireless AP. 192.168.2.x

From both the PC and the iMAC I can reach the internet via the Router using the wireless connection.
This is the 192.168.2.x segment.

From both the PC and the iMAC I can use the printer via the UTP connection via the switch.

I can ping to the 10.0.0.230 addresses from the PC to the iMAC
And the other way around.

I can telnet to the imac from the PC.

So what is the problem now.

I dont see any shares.

Before I installed the UTP 10.0.0.x segment (yesterday) I did see the shares.
In other words, the sharing worked before by using the Wireless connection.

Maybe I have to tell the PC and the mac to use the UTP interface for sharing files and folders.
But How do I do this?

I hope Im clear enough.....

I purchased a brand new MacBook 5 days ago and am very happy with my purchase.

I needed to put windows on for some work programs so took the opportunity to buy Win 7. I have installed it via bootcamp without any problems.

However when i start up on win7 i have no wireless connectivity. I have scoured the forums for drivers or ways to resolve the problems but cannot seam to get it sorted..

I have put the OSX dvd in with Win booted. It has installed all of the drivers and said it had done Broadcom and Atheros. However i cannot even see the wireless adapter in the list on network connections.

Can anyone help pls?

Hi,
Any help with this would be much appreciated.
Have a MAC (Leopard) and a PC (XP) at home.
Both have the same version of itunes (9.0.1) running on them. Both have the same version of Quicktime.
When i am on my MAC, and running itunes, i can go to the "Shared" option and see the movies that are in my PC's itunes Library and watch those movies. No problem.
However, if i'm on my PC, and running itunes, i can go to the "Shared" option and see the movies that are in the MAC's Library but CANNOT watch them. They just won't open.
I've tried putting the same movie on both machines, to eliminate the issue if whether its the video files themselves that are different. Same problem. Can play it on the MAC, but not on the PC.
Has anyone ever come across this, and if so is there a fix or that's just the way that it is.

Thanks for the help in advance. Appreciate the advice. ]]> Silver_Surfer http://macosx.com/forums/networking-compatibility/311338-sharing-video-between-mac-pc.html
