Give preference to a wired connection

Hi all

I'm lucky enough in my house to have a Wi - Fi network and witeless.

Although my 2015 Macbook Pro has no Ethernet RJ45 port, I installed a USB extenderes with a Rj45 Ethernet port included and now patched in the cable system.

Q: are there in all cases that I can configure the Mac Book Pro to use the network wired and not on the wireless network if it is plugged?

Then it is simply wireless when it is not plugged in?

Appreciate your help

SImon.

In the system preferences network move the Ethernet connection to the top of the list. The Ethernet connection is used and if the Ethernet connection is not connected connection method will fall to the second item in the list, your wifi connection.

    Too bad, I was hoping that it would work with srvctl

    As you say a different way of configuring the service by referring to the favorite and attributes available for instances, but its not useful to know the instances that are open. Its helpful to separate the work to specific nodes by creating different services for different applications.

    Certainly, it only would be logical if you know in advance that you want to start an instance in editing mode and you want to bypass the connection failure. But when you know you're going to just mount a database he used to try to find later.

    I searched a bit on metalink and found notes 69546.1 which States that PMON will record with listeners the and remote start the instance, same no editing is required. Which is obviously stupid because of the error message you get when you try to connect.

    797713.1 note describes your exact problem and a solution. I'd love to quote, but I'm not sure if this is allowed or not. So instead I'll summarize what I learned: the default service that you create during the installation of first CARS behave as in one instance. As soon as the instance starts, it will register with the other. This is actually intended for you can perform administration. When you create additional services via srvctl or crs, they will somehow managed by crs and only you sign up once the instance is 'up' (I guess they mean open).
    So the solution would be to create another service through srvctl and use it for your connections.

  • WRT610N dhcp gives wrong IP addresses all the time (on a wired connection only)

    Hello

    We use a 10.0.0.0/24 subnet for our router. The router is 10.0.0.1 and is configured to assign IP addresses from de.200. Now, while this does very well on the wireless, we get always bad IPs (of the 192.168.1 subnet) when you use a wired connection.

    The problem disappeared after only a factory resets, but now reappears. Customers are different from linux clients.

    Is the firmware bug?

    Arnuschky

    Most likely, someone else on another router your network that assigns 192.168.1 addresses.

    Do the on two computers once with a 10 addresses assigned, once with a address affected 192.168.

    Open a window prompt on your computer. Type ' ipconfig/all '. Then ping the default gateway, for example "ping 192.168.1.1" or "ping 10.0.0.1. Then enter 'arp - a'. After the output is full in each case.

    This should show how computers are configured, how and where they get their IP and MAC address of the router/DHCP server.

  • Wired connection without love at first sight?

    I need to update the software for my router at home. (The router were made by Netgear).

    At the beginning of the instructions, it says this: "to avoid the problem of disconnection during the process of the firmware download wireless, NETGEAR recommends this firmware update be performed on a computer with wired connection.

    I don't know how to connect my Macbook Air to the modem with a cable, since it seems that there is no port for this.

    It seems that I might be able to buy a "Thunderbolt" adapter for $29, but that seems like a piece of expensive hardware because I need only to update this software. For $29, I could virtually buy a new router.

    Two questions:

    1. is there a cheaper way to connect my Macbook Air to the internet with a cable?

    2. can I download updated the firmware of the Netgear via the normal WiFi connection, or he'll just permanently disconnect my laptop on my home WiFi network?

    Thank you for any advice you can give me.

    (1) No, you need to this thunderbolt adapter and an ethernet cable.

    (2) what they give is the perfect Board as ethernet is more reliable than wifi. But I am not agree.  Maybe I have will burn someday, but chances are with me.  99% + chance you can do wireless.  You are offline but can reconnect automatically in most cases and may have to do a manual connect after installs the firmware.

  • No wired connection on WRT54GC

    I have a router WRT54GC.  I have no wired connection of the device.  It was working fine and then just stopped.  I noticed that when I unplug the router and let sit for awhile and then try again the connection is there for a few minutes.  A few minutes at least gives me a chance to connect to the router.  All suggested settings are always topical without change.  Free wireless in the minutes also works.  As I sit in front of her suddenly the connection is lost.  Any ideas?

    OK, I thought about it.  The downloaded and extracted from the Linksys site .img file is good.  Download computer is only used to store the file. Download computer isn't able to open the file.  At first, I thought to update the firmware with a unknown file type could lead to losing the administration program.  The router itself includes the .img file.  I downloaded the file in the router and eureka, it works!  The wired connection with the router problem was because I had the Internet connection that is connected to the router.  The initial symptom of distress was a power LED flashing intermittently. Forum of thank you for your help.

  • I keep getting error 651 trying to make a wired connection

    original title: I keep getting error 651

    I keep getting error 651.

    I replaced the system of rasPPPeO several times with a workgroup file in Vista and still no connection. After the file system is replaced, I get a new icon in a wide area network wan miniport for Device Manager. When this driver is searched, windows gives me an error of installation. Its a out of the box motherboard, all the drivers are up to date. However, no link. I am connected via the wireless, but I need a wired connection. How can I solve this frustrating problem?

    You have posted in forum Windows 7, saying: you have replaced a file system with that of Vista.  That sounds like it's likely your problem.  You don't have anyway normally just replace system files.  You install the drivers. I suggest that undo you what you've done for system files and get the correct driver for your NETWORK card installed.

    Good luck.

    -It is that this laptop connects only to 100 MB instead of 1 GB via wired connection.

    -Initially thought it was somehow to do with IE, because TI o/s behaved slowly until I killed the process IE

    Rebooted - no difference

    A ran full TVT updates, including BIOS and not restarted - no difference

    Question: what gives with LAN speed 100 MB vs. 1 GB single connection - it worked OK before.

    Note: The things I kept my eye on are Symantec Antivirus; Symantec Firewall; Internet Explorer, but LAN speed is confusing.

    My apologies if this has been resolved somewhere else and please ask questions of me to clarify anything.

    Thank you.

    This chalk up to my alter ego - Dopus Maximus.

    I checked the wiring and found that the user has connected a 100MB switch on the wall socket - which is connected to a switch of 1 GB.  This explains the drop in speed.

  • m276n: print from a mobile device using a wired connection on the printer

    Hello

    I am considering buying the printer m276n for use in the home. I have a small Home Office on the top floor of my house which is out of range of my wifi signal but has a wired connection to the same router that broadcasts the wifi signal. I want to put the printer and connect it via a wired connection to the network. I know that it works perfectly for all windows home computers that are attached to the same network (wired and wireless), as long as I give you a fixed IP address to the printer.

    But since we use mobile devices more and more (apple and android) it will be a nice to have to print those as well. I watched Eprint Airprint movies, but all tell me that the printer must be connected wireless. Is it a necessity or my proposed wired installation will work just as well?

    Hi @MartijnS ,

    I see by your post that you would like to know if you can use the ePrint Airprint functionality with the printer and when it is configured on the network via an Ethernet connection. I can certainly help you.

    The ePrint and Airprint feature work when a printer is connected to a network. It can be wired or wireless to the router.

    Here is the document with a little information for print from an Apple Mobile Device.

    The documentation shows also wireless, but again, it works through a wired too.

    I hope this helps.

    Have a great day!
    Thank you.

  • Windows 7 loses access to the network share when unplug wired connection

    With my laptop Windows 7 Pro (64-bit SP1;) docked and thus have wired network (within a domain), I can access shares network very well. A wireless connection is active at the same time. When I detach, Windows Explorer and Office applications get upset some of the time. In addition, this is the case when I anchor. He didn't there has no problem opening a file on the network share when I'm rooted or not anchored, but the transition is not well. Windows launches the error code 0 x 80070035, Windows cannot access , the network path was not found. When it is connected to our wireless network, the machine name is altered by an additional letter. The latter has led to a problem that had to be cleared up by a patch installed by my system administrator, but the problem persisted.

    I understand that Windows 7 should be smart enough to pass interfaces for network access, having a preference for a wiring if it is available (perhaps even the connection data rate). Maybe it's too much to expect that the operating system could make this transition, but it seemed that my Vista laptop has done very well. Any suggestions are welcome.

    Thank you.

  • Wired connection slows down when plugged into the laptop

    Hello

    I have a wired connection to my laptop and you have a problem a week that my internet is slow. So I called my ISP and told them on this subject. My ISP says my connection is under FUP (Fair Use Policy - down internet speed when you reach the maximum bandwidth provided by your ISP in the months. - ONLY in the PHILIPPINES that is really annoying and disturbing) anyway, so I tried to stop using my wired connection to date and use the Wi - Fi connection. It went well, I have a fast connection again. And then I tried to connect again to a wired connection that is different from my own wired connection, it is connected to a PC and have a good connection speed. So I connect it to my laptop and expect that it has good connection to check if there are updates in my system. Surprisingly, the internet connection on my laptop was really very slow. I tried to check internet speed using Speedtest and 0.17 to 0.20 Mbps operation. So I removed again and again on the PC. When I checked the speed of connection on the PC, it gives me more than 3 Mbps.

    That's what I've done so far:

    Update drivers / windows

    Active mac address / changed

    Frushed DNS

    and finally tried to reformat and it seems not working do not and have the same problem.

    I have LENOVO IdeaPad S400 Touch with Windows 8 on it.

    What seems to be the problem?

    Thank you!

    Hi Raymel,

    Yes, it's maybe a problem with the network card. I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the laptop to get help on this issue.

  • Option of assigning wireless via a wired connection?

    I know that running Windows in VMware Fusion he sees any connection as a wired connection, network, even if my Macbook Pro is connected wireless. What I'm wondering is - it, if I have two assets of connections (wired and wireless), is there a way to assign the wireless to VMware and say do not to use the wired connection?

    Thank you

    Since bridges merge default to the main network adapter of the host and by default if the Ethernet and airport are active then Ethernet is the primary but you have a few options if you want to adjust which Fusion adapter is connected to.  Earlier current Fusion also does not provide a GUI in a GA release to change this, however you can manually edit the file "/ Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh" or VM@Work Tokamak allows you to automate the process or change the order of Service to the airport primary Ethernet vs.

    If you want to manually edit and then take a look on: or manually force Fusion to use specific or connections network interfaces

    If you want to use a script take a look to: Advanced Networking Configuration - Tokamak Networking Scripts for VMware Fusion

    Note: There is also a beta version, you can try for the feature added by DaveP post Re: Scripts to manage the merger of network settings.

    If you do not want to change the boot.sh or use the Tokamak you can make your airport the main...

    I just bought the Sony BDP-S370 and I tried to connect using a wired connection. I put my settings in and nothing I also did with 'AUTO' settings and nothing. I called Sony and they could not help I called comcast and none help so am hoping that some on hear can help.

    Hello 951253, the user
    Congratulations on the purchase of your new Blu Ray player. Apologies, you experience network problems. Auto is fine for Setup, but when you need solving problems, you must look at all the parties involved. Check first is the layers of the devices.

    Comcast Modem > router > wired connection to the player.
    or
    Comcast Modem/Router > wired connection to the player

    If you can connect directly to the modem try this first
    (not all modems will allow this)
    Once you have determined which device is blocking access, check your IP address.

    You can find the network settings of > networking > Internet status > and if your ip address is valid as 192.168.x.xx then the router is good, but no communication to the Modem.

    If you have an IP address under network settings of 169.xx.xx.xx then this is a universal car fake address created with no connectivity. and it could be your cable or other issues.

  • Apple Airprint for HP Officejet 6500 has more via a wired connection to the router

    Hello

    So I did a considerable amount of research in this through the internet and this forum and I still struggle to find a satisfactory solution.

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 a more connected by ethernet to my BT Homehub 3.

    It is I understand that even if there is a wired connection, as long as my iOS device (iPad 2 or iPhone 5) is connected to the same router, I should still be able to see this Officejet thanks to ease of airprint.

    Unfortunately, this is not the case. I get the message "No Airprint Printers Found" on both devices. The only way I managed to get my Mac Pro (Mavericks) to connect has been add to mannualy by using the IP address of the printer.

    Can anyone provide guidance on what I might hurt? Certainly, the printer must connect internet I can print from my iOS devices using HP ePrint app for iOS.

    Some might say, well, what's the problem, just use the HP application, but is not the point. I think that if something has been set up to make things easier, then use it. I chose this printer specifically for this feature is a bit frustrating for her so difficult to get the desired results.

    Hope it is something simple and anyone can help you.

    Thank you

    Steve

    Following this request and reading the many more similar questions, I think I may have solved this.

    I'm not 100% sure but I read a few threads suggests that there are issues around BT Homehub 3 and Hello so this can be a problem.

    I tried the following in the past two days...

    (1) completely don't reset my router (wiped all settings and started)-no luck!

    (2) I tried changing to WPA2 to just WPA security - no luck!

    (3) tried to convey the Hello to the printer ports - no luck!

    (4) turn off the router, printer and all the devices iOS then fed back router, printer, then iOS devices - printer appears on iOS devices, but when printing was selected iOS device returned on several occasions not connected printer error.

    Finally, what seems to have made (at least for now) has been...

    (1) disconnected the Officejet ethernet and set up as wireless.

    (2) off voltage router, printer and all iOS devices then propelled upward in the order listed previously.

    (3) so far, I tried to print a mail and a web page of my iOS devices, and both have been successful.

    By the way I've been struggling also to airplay from my iPhone / iPad until I started messing around with the settings above, and now this question also seems to be resolved.

    Due to the variety of combinations (different printers, routers, etc.) people will have, it seems to be quite difficult to find a solution that solves a single problem but I hope some of my experiences and findings could help others in some way.
