Q: Setup LWSelect 360 to print from mini mac ethernet socket
I would like to run my 360 direct from the mini mac ethernet socket but I don't know how this is done.
My cable modem is connected to Airport which is plugged into the wall socket. My HP1018 USB is connected to the Airport. My HP 5740 USB is connected direct to the mini mac usb port.
I have an Asante ethernet bridge.
My Ethernet cable is not a cross-over cable.
From cold I turn printer on, and then minimac on. I then turn Asante on. LI light stays on, PWR light stays on, RX and TX flash for a few seconds then remain off.
I then go to:
System preferences>Print&Fax>"add a printer" button
This brings up
Printer Browser> but no printer is found.
System preferences>Network>Location:Automatic;Show:Network Staus
Green light Airport. You are connected to the network Luton. You are connected to the internet via Airport.
Red light Built-in Ethernet. The cable for Built-in Ethernet is connected, but your computer does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the internet.
Then going to Network:Location:Automatic;Show:Built-in Ethernet
TCP/IP: Configure IPv4; Using DCHP—all the other boxes are blank. IPv6 is configured (automatically?) and a number is stated.
PPoE: Nothing selected
AppleTalk: Make AppleTalk Active [box is ticked] Computer Name: BB Mac mini, AppleTalk Zone: greyed out and blank, Configure: Automatically
Proxies: no entries
Ethernet: Ethernet ID: a number is stated, Configure: Automatically
Grateful for any help and advice that will get my 360 up and running while maintaining my wireless network.
Many thanks
Bob
