Connecting to a Mac TC cable ethernet for external storage only

I scoured these forums looking for a solution to my problem, but nothing I've met has worked so far.

I have a TC of 2 TB.  I'm sure, it is considered as 2nd generation to 99%.  My Mac is a 21.5 mid-2011 "El Capitan running.

What I'm trying to do is (should be) pretty simple, but I just cannot get this to work.  I live in the glue, so internet high speed cable is not available and I'm stuck with Verizon DSL via the telephone line.  Go ahead... Take minute for model / to feel sorry for me... I'll wait.  OK, so I have this DSL modem/router from Verizon Wireless and my TC does not seem to play well with it, when I joined the network.  Internet continues in and out and wireless file transfer is so slow.  So I would just remove my TC of the network, disable the wifi signal that he died, and connect to my Mac via the ethernet cable and use it strictly as an external hard drive for my media files.  Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.

Go ahead... Take minute for model / to feel sorry for me

I live in important suburb of Melbourne in Australia and count myself "LUCKY" to get DSL to about 6 Mbps, then you are the global average, I guess for internet.

(Of course we have a Conservative Government... think Republican or Tory... whose the idea of fast internet is something from the years 1990) A conservative, he also seems = backward.

I have a TC of 2 TB.  I'm 99% sure, it is considered as 2nd generation

It's really unlikely... they sold a handful.

Look on the bottom... paper A1409 label is gen4, molded into the first line of rubber... Gen3 is A1355... A1302 is Gen2 and extremely likely.

So I would just remove my TC of the network, disable the wifi signal that he died, and connect to my Mac via the ethernet cable and use it strictly as an external hard drive for my media files.

You can do this... * If you? *

The method is here.

Time Capsule using wired for Mac for backup only.

It is a bit tricky because of the gateway and DNS issues.

If you need more details give me a screenshot of your network on the Mac wireless connection.

* If you *.

A self powered 2 TB 2.5 "disk connected to the back of your Mac. will be invisible... it will be faster and much more reliable than the old TC.

It will allow your local files not network... and therefore the time Machine will work... Time Machine backup impossible of network drives. It can use as the target source ever.

  • SAS HBA or Raid for R905 for external storage?

    So I got a R905 used off ebay.  I wanted to use it for a storage server.  Unfortunately, the LSI SAS HBA or the Areca 1883 work in one of the 7 pci-e slots.  The cards are seen and their bios are launched and start automatic and other tests.  Two of them crash during initialization (it is not a matter of waiting a few minutes - in a trial, let him so all day while I was out).  I know that the slots are not dead, like the map 4-port gbe enet provided with it works great, just like a connection-x 2 infiniband card.  I confirmed that the bios and bmc firmware are the latest and best.  It's a kind of dell 'we do support the controllers dell' thing?  If so, I guess I agree with the purchase of a dell SAS HBA connector sff-8088 with random (since that's what jbod I want to connect using...)  Any thoughts appreciated...

    Hello.

    No Dell non-certified controllers are not validated to work properly on Dell servers. But this does not mean that may not work, it's a 50-50 chance. I recommend using certified Dell SAS HBA card such as: manufacturer: 7RJDT | Dell reference: 342-0910. Not so sure on the type of connector

  • Dynadock: set up for external monitors only in Windows XP

    We have a number of different laptops Toshiba dynadock DVI running Windows XP SP3 and dynadock 2.3 c with the video driver 4.5.14974.0.

    They all work very well, exactly as planned, except that the majority of users want to use with the external monitor only.

    We are currently their execution in mirror mode because the split screen extended mode is not necessary which requires the external monitor at the same resolution as the screen internal.

    All laptops have screens internal standard WXGA 1280 x 800, but find an external 19 "monitor that supports this resolution is a real problem with most being WXGA + 1440 x 900.

    I found a 22 "monitor is going to do, but the image is not very strong, probably because its native resolution is WSXGA + 1680 x 1050 and are also just a little more expensive.

    I found a document on the Web from Toshiba site we (Document ID: 98082393) that details how to display only the external monitor, probably with the help of whatever the external monitor can manage the resolution which would be perfect, except that it only works with Windows Vista.

    If someone has found a way to do this with Windows XP, I tried following the instructions of Vista, but I am unable to set the external monitor as primary display? Toshiba are working on a new video driver that will support this configuration?

    Sounds a little crazy for me because this is how the majority of the standard docking stations is used and many companies also have a significant deployment aspect 4:3 or 5:4 screens that obviously don't work well with laptops widescreen in mirror mode.

    Our users are currently using XGA 1024 x 768 in mirror mode which, on a big screen is stretched and defeats the main reason for having a large screen. We are the only ones having this problem or are we missing something obvious?

    Thanks to anyone with a useful suggestion.

  • Spectrum 360: Cable ethernet for spectrum 360 connection?

    Nobody knows what the best approach for wired ethernet is on these laptops?  I did not know that they do not have an ethernet jack, my son is off to College with a spectrum of 360.  Looks like they recommend an adapter, but I don't know if it's via the HDMI or USB? And then, what size is the USB?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 are the same size and are backward compatible.

    USB 3.0 ports are blue or have at least the symbol (super speed)

  • I have a PS3 which is connected by a cable ethernet for my laptop, but how to make the laptop recognize the PS3, I don't know how to find?

    PlayStation 3

    lingsguest,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  According to the website of Sony PS3 "file transfers directly between a networked PC and PS3 system are not possible.' http://PlayStation.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/PlayStation.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1521&p_sid=GK6c1LJj
    If your PC does not see the PS3 it could appear as an unknown device and you would not be able to access.

    I think that this is a security feature of the PS3 to help prevent being hacked.  Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers

  • I want to thank my wifi in another part of the House with an Airport Extreme. But I want to not be connected to the modem main via ethernet cable is it possible?

    I want to thank my wifi in another part of the House with an Airport Extreme. But I want to not be connected to the modem main via ethernet cable is it possible?

    I put in place already to extend the wifi of my modem still connected to the modem via ethernet cable.

    Now I want to be considered on the floor and use it to extend the wifi without ethernet cable

    The AirPort Extreme can extend only wireless signal from another router from Apple, so if you want to take the AirPort Extreme on the floor and extend wireless signal, you will need another airport connected to your modem by Ethernet cable router to produce the wireless signal that will extend the extreme on the floor.

    Another way of saying the same thing would be to say that if you want to extend wireless using a router from Apple, you'll need two of them do... because AirPort Extreme is not compatible with a third-party modem or modem/router for this purpose.

  • Satellite A80: Failure to connect to the internet via an ethernet cable

    I'm having problems to get an internet connection via a cable ethernet to my office. The laptop works everywhere else, but not in the office. The strangest thing is that my desktop at the office computer works perfectly with the same cable.

    The icon in the taskbar of configfree reads "MARVELL YUKON 88E8036 PC... 169.254.95.8"no matter how many times I disconnect and reconnect it to my office. Curiously, the IP Office when it is connected to the same cable is 192.168.1.69.

    I was told to change the tcp/ip properties manually, but I'm not able to do because I have not all entries in the NETWORK CONNECTIONS or can't seem to create a new.

    I would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions.

    Hello

    I wonder why you have no entries for network connections.
    Click Start-> settings-> network connections-> connections to the Local network-> properties

    Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
    If you use a server in your office and the IP address is assigned automatically then all TCP/IP parameters must be on automatically

    Check it!

He eventually get look in the network adapters Device Manager, he demonstrated Intel PRO/100 VE network connection that is activated in the State shows that it works, but there is no Ethernet adapter shown in this place.
    I tried to insert Dell drivers and utilities disk, but that does not change.
    I tried to download on an other computer files from dell that look like they are pilots.
    I tried to set up a new connection
    None of what I tried so far seems to have worked, can anyone suggest what I can do to fix this?

  • Canning Internet connection drops when the computer is connected to the PS3 via an Ethernet cable.

    Original title: Shared network problem

    I am trying to use a shared network, configure as follows. My computer connect wireless to my router. My PS3, however, seems to be really slow when connecting wireless to the router and is at a proper speed when connected via ethernet. So, I have my PS3 connected to my computer with an ethernet cable. I put the wifi connection to be shared. Next, I set up my PS3 to connect to cable internet. Has gone through the steps and connected properly and at full speed too. However, there is a problem. My PC guard 'give up' connection to my router, while remaining connected to the PS3. I have to manually connect to my router again, regardless of the connection automatically option. Almost as if my PC is to use ethernet for internet access, (which he won't get that which is connected to the PS3) and so it loses the wifi connection. This abandonment happens around every 5 minutes or more.

    Is it possible to keep my PC connected to my wireless router and still be connected to my PS3 through ethernet to connect my PS3 using my PC?

    The problem seems to have 'fixed itself. I tried messing around with the connections that would not work even the bridge. Then I've switched back to ICS and did not have a disconnect since then.

    So the problem is now resolved, but don't know how?
    Whatever it is, I am very grateful for your help Manasa, it is well appreciated!
