I resolves this by the using an answer from this question that links to this blog post, and incorporating this Wake UP NAS applescript into the automator app (Changing the MAC and local broadcast IP address to suit)
Wake Up Nas Script:
do shell script "python -c \"
import socket
data = '\\xff'*6+'\\x00\\x13\\xd4\\xdc\\xf2\\x80'*16
s = ...

I would run /System/Library/CoreServices/Network Diagnostics.app and isolate what isn't working on the Mac.
It's hard to guess based on the information you have edited into the question.

MacBook Pro supports 802.11n wifi wireless networking. There are other wifi protocols like 802.11b and 802.11g. MacBook Pro is compatible with these (b and g) as well. Wifi issues prop up when your router supports other frequency and your laptop is trying to catch other frequency.
If your router supports 802.11b/g and compatible with n then it means some ...

Use the app called PrintnShare on your iPad. Although it will print to all wifi printers, it will also print to your USB printer via your computer. Note the iPad does not support printing over a usb cable direct from the iPad to a printer. It will also support adhoc network and 3G printing.

This application was frequently (20+ times a day) un binding and binding the ip+port. Once I refactored this to stop doing that, it no longer has had problems.

I think that Proxifier can be useful for this case. You need create the correct filter for your connection and see the statistics of the traffic network.

You could forward port 548 to your MBP server to get back the old behavior of allowing afp://** to connect to your MPB server instead of your TimeCapsule. This would definitely make your TimeCapsule AFP server inaccessible from the Internet and might (but I would hope not) make it inaccessible from your LAN. Try it and see. Here is one of many web pages ...

To print to your HP printer using AirPrint you will need some kind of AirPrint server. It is not enough to just get network connectivity to the printer, you need some software running somewhere to handle some of the communication details. It is conceivable that someone makes a 3G WiFi router that includes AirPrint support but I think is unlikely.

According to this Apple support page,
This will clear your current cellular and Wi-Fi network settings,
including saved networks, Wi-Fi passwords, and VPN settings.
So, it will reset your network connection options, and it will affect internet connectivity, both GSM/GPRS/EDGE/3G/4G and WiFi, but it shouldn't impact "classic" telephone services, ...

Here is an approach totally outside of the MacOS X GUI.
Hence this approach of the problem won't interfere with any network
or VPN setting.
Let's say I want to use an IPSEC VPN (based on the use of 500/udp == isakmp & 50/ip == esp).
Create an ipfw configuration file just allowing the required protocols to build the VPN:
/usr/bin/sudo cat ...

If you are looking for simple real time statistics, checkout iStat Pro.
It is a widget that provides a lot more than just network information.

Surplus Meter or Net Monitor look like they would do exactly what you want:

Many modern routers offer the ability to connect a hard disk directly to the router and make it visible on the network. That might be another option to explore.

Since OS X can share files like a server, most people just turn on File Sharing when their Mac has files it needs to share and then plug the drive into the server for when the Mac is away from the network.

I am wondering whether this led to any working solutions. I have a mostly identical situation and haven't found a good solution yet. Let me try and clarify ax to the why of this particular configuration.
In my case I have a Mac connected to "the Internet" (obviously via my home router) through it's Wifi interface. My DLNA server (a Synology NAS) is ...

I was running into the same problem. After looking at man pfctl I came up with the following commands which after running did allow my IPFW to start working properly. I haven't tested them separately to see if you only need one or both (run in terminal using sudo).
pfctl -d #This disables PF and may be the only one you need
pfctl -F all #This flushes the ...

You can adjust the order of your network interfaces in the Network panel of System Preferences. This allows you to set the primary adaptor for your network location, which in your case should be the Wi-Fi adaptor, since that provides the actual correct default route to the Internet.
The re-ordering UI is accessible by clicking on the 'gear' icon below the ...

If that network is not secured, it would try connecting to that automatically just because it is not secure. Try removing all networks that do not require a password to join, and that should fix it.
Using sdmeyers method is the correct way to removing networks from your preferences

After spending maybe 12 hours or more troubleshooting this issue over the past month or so, and realizing it was isolated to my user account, I decided to recreate my user account from scratch. This has solved the problem, and I am now able to connect to the remove server and add/edit files without difficulty.

The problem turned out to be the existence of two default routes, one of which was not valid. I reconfigured my LAN DHCP server to not specify a router and now my second default route is created pointing at simply "link#4" instead of at an IP on the LAN.
I am hopeful of a solution whereby the state of the LAN's routing configuration would not impair other ...

You could check your "Preferred Networks" and make sure your WiFi Access point is listed first.
To do this Open the System Preferences and select "Network" then Select the WiFi network and click the Advanced button:
With the WiFi tab selected from the Advanced sheet you should see a list of your preferred networks, Add, Remove, Reorder as you see fit.

I fixed it! What wound up working for me was going to the Network prefpane, deleting the Ethernet and Wi-Fi interfaces, and re-creating them.

There are two things you can do here.
If you want all your traffic to go via built-in Ethernet if both Ethernet and Wifi are up, you can make it more preferred in System Preferences:
System Preferences -> Network will show you the window with all Network connections defined. At the bottom of the left hand side panel (with the list of interfaces) ...

Let's set aside any solution where you bring a second piece of networking gear to the problem. Let's also let the problem of stopping traffic after the VPN fails to this related, but different question.
I look at this problem as a user centric solution and not something that's easily accomplished by modifying the OS X behavior.
Set up two accounts on your ...

Unlike Firefox, most OS X apps don't have their own proxy settings but instead respect the system-wide configuration in the Network preference pane. This is particularly true of the bundled apps like Software Update and Safari.
To do that, just open the Network pane in System Preferences, select the connection you want to configure on the left (e.g. Wi-Fi), ...

You can bypass that and use 'sshuttle' to redirect all TCP traffic through an SSH tunnel proxy:
https://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle
When you use this, it will setup an SSH tunnel/SOCKS5 proxy to another host. It will also setup local firewall and routing rules so that ALL TCP traffic will route through the SOCKS proxy/tunnel transparently.

I have similar messages. I suspect this is an Access Control List problem.
In Terminal, enter "/bin/ls -le /Volumes" to see if there are ACL entries.
ACL entries can be cleared --sometimes-- by "/bin/chmod -N ." for the current directory. "sudo" may be required also. See "man chmod" for more info on Access Control List entries. These were added in ...

To install many UNIX, GNU, and other open source tools including stunnel I recommend to use the MacPorts package management system in addition of the XCode command line tools. MacPorts will keep these softwares easy to manage. Additionally, some of the softwares have special MacPorts' build which work nicer with OS X system.

Delete the following 3 files located in ~Library > Preferences > SystemConfiguration :
com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
com.apple.network.identification.plist

I'd run /System/Library/CoreServices/Network Diagnostics and see if the report can pinpoint if there is a problem with the configuration or the network devices that connect you to the internet.
The failure to resolve a common DNS and packet loss makes it look like a very lossy network, but that's harder to fix directly than a configuration issue.

The WAN (the outside of your router) connection in the router (your AirPort) should be set to static if your ISP provide the information about IP, gateway, subnet-mask and DNS. Some ISP assign static IP remotely so you don't have and can continue using DHCP. It's all about what they tell you to do.
Your local computers should not need to change anything as ...
