Identify Printer And External Drives?
Jan 1, 2012
I am migrating my home network from a desktop centric environment to a mobile centric and taking mydesktop off line in the near future and instead relying on my tablet and laptop computers. I have two external hard drives that are currently connected to the desktop and a printer on the desktop. I believe that I need a NAS adapter and a print sever to connect the drives and the printer to the network rather than to the desktop compuer, which is going away. How then do I identify the drves and the printer when they are directly connected to the network? Is that something I do when I install the NAS adapter and print server?

I used to have an old G5 tower running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) which I was using as a file server. In this tower I had a USB dock connected where I could plug in 2.5 inch drives from my archive and then access them over the network by connecting to the G5.
Last week I upgraded my "fileserver" and I am running OS X Mountain Lion Server on a regular Mac Pro tower. When I connect to my new fileserver via Finder I am only able to see the local hard drives but none of the external ones. I can add a share-point for the external drives but that is not very practical since I am always connecting different drives from the archive.
So what I would like to have is that when I plug in an external drive to my file server it shows up in the network shares without me having to create a share-point for every different drive I connect.

I have several drives that are accessed through a LAN but as soon as I connet to another drive through VPN all the drives get disconnected. According to the IT people this is a feature of VPN for security reasons and there is no way to access those drives.Anyone knows if there is a way to connect to the VPN drive and the local LAN drives without getting the LAN drives disconnected?

I have a Linksys WRT54GL Router. I'm open to getting another router if it won't suit my needs.Which firmware should I install?Which version/build of the firmware?Any additional modifications I should make to the firmware?
Requirements:Connect an external hard drive to the router, so that any devices connected to the router can access files from the hard drive.Run an FTP server (with SSH) on the router, so files on the external hard-drive can be accessed from anywhere.Run VPN, so that certain computers can access the hard drives over VPN.Run a BitTorrent client on the router with the files stored on the external hard drive.

Recently purchased an EA4500 router and it is connected to the Internet. One of the reasons we purchased this router was to take advantage of the usb port (only 2.0 unfortunately) to be able to share media across the network. I spent over two hours on the phone (4/16/2012) with Linksys Tech support trying to get this feature to work. When using a little flashdrive I can easily find the connected usb device. However, when trying to connect to an external hard drive, it will not connect. I tried three different external hard drives, a Western Digital 500 GB Elements drive, a Western Digital 2 TB My Book Elements drive and even a portable 1.5 TB Seagate FreeAgent drive. Every drive had the same result. In fact after plugging each one into the EA4500 and then selecting Safely Eject and then plugging them into my computer, each one had to go through the Fix process in order to work again. I tried this several times. Linksys Tech Support could not get it to work either, and they even used remote access. When going into the web interface of the EA4500, the router sees the external drives attached to it. However, only the little 16GB flash drive can be seen by the computer. I know there is a list for approved devices that work with a different device, the E4200 [URL]
It looks like my devices are there but nonetheless its not working. Really not sure why the router can see all of the devices but only the computer can see the flash drive.

The official List of tested USB storage devices for the Linksys E4200 is so short, and the fine print "If your USB storage device is not listed on the table, it is not guaranteed to work with the router" is very discouraging. Let's create the community-based list of tested External Hard Drives for the Linksys E4200? Post here the brand / model of your external hard drive which works well with your E4200. State Firmware version as well. My Toshiba 640GB Canvio® USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive (Toshiba P/N e05a064cau2xr, M/N 593400-b), when connected to E4200 Firmware v1.0.03 (Build 14), stops the router's both wired and wireless connection after a couple of hours.

I use an online software host. They put print jobs into a queue and send them directly to my printer. I just got a new printer. The software host needs it's "External IP address" I have my internal IP address. I pinged the printer and got my internal IP address instead of the printer's. I am on a home wired network running through a modem and router.

I have a Seagate 1TB USB External Hard Drive that I want to share on my wireless home network, and I'm having difficulty finding a cheap, reliable solution. I would also, ideally, like to connect a USB printer for similar sharing.I have two XP PC's on the network, and will probably be getting a Windows 7 machine.The router is the generic one supplied by my ISP.
1. Connect both hard drive and printer to always-on PC that shares with Windows.This would work but I'm not keen on the 'always on'
2. Use a Pogoplug to connect the hard drive and printer to the router Again, a good solution and always-on, but a little pricey - ?60-100?

I have a printer sitting on an outside interface e0/7 that external vendors were able to print to prior to an ISP IP address change and IOS upgrade.
We upgraded our IOS from 8.2.1 to 8.2.5. The printer wasn't changed so the MAC address mapping is still correct on the ISP translation list. The ISP issues DHCP MAC reservations for static IP address assignment. My printer doesn't seem to be getting the DHCP assignment now.
Here is the before and after config. I'm just wondering since this worked prior to changeing the IP and IOS changes if there is another command I need since upgrading from 8.2.1 to 8.2.5. The DHCP IP address is assigned and is working on my e0/0 vlan2 outside interface.
Config that worked prior to the IP and IOS change. hostname hrhdomain-name hrh.comenable password passwd multicast-routingnamesname 10.200.200.0 TestNet!interface Vlan1nameif insidesecurity-level 100ip address 192.168.1.8 255.255.255.0ospf cost 10ospf network point-to-point non-broadcastospf

Im attempting to connect to a password protect WAP2 Personal Wireless Network (I have Windows Vista). Unfortunately I can connect to the network but it will not Identify the network therefore I cannot connect to the Internet.
I have tried turning off the router and my computer, I have also tried both of the windows fixes for this problem (Reseting the network adapter and resetting my IP settings).

I've seen where the micron is printed on a fiber strand, and that you can identify the connector type, but how do identify the difference between a 50 micron OM4 MMF, a 50 micron OM3 MMF, and a 50 micron OM2 MMF?

I have purchased a new home where cat5e was run from several locations throughout the house to the basement. Unfortunately, the runs were not marked. I know you can short one end of each cable and measure (voltage resistance?) at the other end in the basement to identify it. I need the process and equipment required so I can wire my home. The cables are not terminated.

I recently got a new computer from work, and it won't connect to my home network. I restored it to factory condition, and reinstalled the drivers for the wireless adapter card, but it won't identify my home network. The network adapter is a D-Link WDA 1320 and I'm trying to connect it to my home network which is AT&T Uverse, and the router is a 2wire 3800hgv-b. Hopefully that is enough information for at least an educated guess, I'm not so hot when it comes to home networking matters.This doesn't happen on any other computer.

I've recently moved house and decided to go with Virgin as my ISP. I was able to connect one laptop (running Windows 7), with no hassle, to the internet just fine, however, I've tried connected another laptop (running Windows Vista) and can connect to my router but cannot connect to the internet and it's telling me it cannot identify the network =/ I also can't connect to the internet if I use my ethernet cable. I phoned up tech support also and they recommended I update my drivers, but Windows is telling me I have the most up to date driver for my network adapter.

I'm a little confused about doing a translation using static identitiy NAT.I have a prorietary router that I would like to move behind my firewall (ASA 8.2x). Right now it runs in parallel with my router from a DMZ switch. I have change ISPs and the location the connection comes into my building so this confiugration is less than desirable.The vendor requires a static public address. So I am hoping/assuming a regular NAT statement of:
static (Inside,Outside) 72.12.206.211 192.168.1.xx netmask 255.255.255.255 .will work since the routers inside interface connectes to my inside LAN network anyway.
However, if they insist on having a Non-Nat'ed Public IP how do you do that? I have researched Static Identity NAT that shows the following: 72.12. 206. 211 (outside) FW (inside) 72.12.206.211
and they show a static statement of static (Outside,Inside) 72.12.206.211 72.12.206.211 netmask 255.255.255.255.How do you set up the nat statements for this configuration? Do you assigne the "external" IP address to the router even though it is behind the firewall (which is what I am asuming).

I recently built a server for home use as i have 6 computers in the house and would like to access all of my information on all of them. The idea was just to have a place for storage and not so much application use. i don't want to have to enter a password every time i try to access a folder and i don't want to use Active Directory if i can avoid it. The server itself is running Windows Server 2008 R1 Enterprise Edition 64 bit. (my office had extra copies that they had no use for) I have an iMac, Windows 7 computers and one Linux box.
It does not matter what computer i use or what settings i seem to apply, but I cannot get into the hard drives of the server. I set it up with 2 sets of 2TB drives each set up in RAID 1 for backup. i have done such things before in windows xp and i thought it would be the same.

I recently purchased a new broadband wireless GA DSL2+ router HUAWEI Echolife HG520b. I have set it up on my computer and have been successful in connecting to the internet via my laptop which runs on windows 7 but my other laptop running on windows vista SP2 is unable to connect wirelessley to the internet. It is able to find and connect to the router with no problem. But it appears unable to identify it and cannot connect me to the internet. I have tried many things and nothing seems to work.

Just bought a Sony Bravia KDL-46EX723 today and i am currently trying to connect it to my BT home hub via a "wired set up". BT home hub does not seem to be detecting the TV at all, when i try to do an auto set up it searches for a while and then comes back with, cable connection:failed, local access:failed, internet access:failed.I have went on to my network page to see if it was connecting to anything else and it is finding my external hardrive no problem via the Ethernet cable.I have tried looking at my computer IP details and adding them manually to the TV, but no joy, just comes back with the same errors.

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that I can't get to identify my wireless network. I can get online using an ethernet connection to the router, but it can't identify the network and the wireless connection gives me just Local Only. I have another laptop that can connect to the router, and the Toshiba can connect to other networks. For whatever reason, the issue only appears when this laptop attempts to connect to this router. I've looked for suggested fixes, but none of the following have worked: Disabling firewall Deleting network adapters and having windows install them again Confirming that dynamic IP address is assigned Confirming that DCHP is enabled Running KB928233 I've tried every suggested fix I could find and nothing has worked. I have a Clear Home modem connecting to a Toshiba Satellite A215 with a Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter and Realtek RTL8101E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC.
