Need Network Advice: Multiple IP numbers.

Hello I need some advice on setting up my office's network. I have a small amount of network knowledge, mostly just setting up my home networks and our offices simple existing network. Right now we have Verizon internet. The network looks like this -
1 static IP -> Verizon Modem/Router -> 24port gig switch -> wired to 8 offices -> connected to 8 computers.
We are canceling Verizon and getting Comcast with 5 IP addresses. Our goal is to continue using a network like we have, but add a server on the side for clients and remote employees to drop files. We have 2 mac mini's ready for the task of being servers with OSX Tiger on them. I would like to set one or both of them up as FTP servers, so we can hand out login/pass info and people can ftp into them to drop stuff or pick stuff up.
Anyone have any advice for how to setup a network with multiple IP addresses? Do I need more than 1 router? Which router is best for Mac, because we will need a new one to replace verizons. Any advice on where I can find information on setting up the FTP server on our mac mini with Tiger? I've looked around, but I don't think the sites I found were using Tiger, menus weren't exact and I couldn't get it to work.
Thanks for the help!
Our office is ALL mac, 5x_8-core 2x_imac 2x_macpro 2x_mini

You don't need a "Gigabit router". It's way, way overkill (and $$$$$$) for your network.
The Comcast link is going to max out at about 15-20mpbs, so any router with 100mpbs links is going to be more than sufficient.
As it happens, I wouldn't get a router anyway. Comcast are going to provide you with a router (they need to in order to terminate the RG-58 cable connection they drop and provide an ethernet port (that ethernet port, BTW, will be 100base-T).
What you really need is a firewall. One that can handle multiple public IP addresses and allow specific incoming traffic (e.g. the FTP servers).
I would recommend something from NetScreen. You may be able to pick up one of their NetScreen 5GTs pretty cheap now they're end of life (I have several of these around my network, including one in the exact same configuration you're talking about here). Failing that the SSG-5 would be sufficient.
They also have the advantage of being able to run as a VPN endpoint should you need that functionality.
At the end of the day your network topology would look something like:
Comcast router -> (NetScreen) Firewall -> Switch -> Clients
All the clients will connect to the switch and can talk amongst themselves at gigabit speeds. Any internet traffic would pass from the switch to the firewall and out to the big bad world.

Is it possible One Vendor Code assing to Multiple TIN numbers

Hi Team,
We have vendor where we need to assing Multiple TIN numbers in Vendor master based on the plan location from where vendor supplying the goods
Same time I need to track with TIN number wise details in future
Regrds,

Hi Anil,
Exactly we are looking to update but can you please help me with more detailded way
For particular state you have to assign 1 TIN no
Ex:
Hyd, 1 TIN No
Ban 1 TIN No
Mumb 1 IN No etc.,
Taking above example how(where) we are going to assign in Vendor Master data and One vendor is supply material from different states how excise report takes in system

Multiple automated numbering in the same page

Hi everyone,
I am using InDesign CS4 and am trying to print CD labels with CD numbers on them. Each page has two CD labels on it and I have to serialize them. For example, the first page will have 001 - Disk 1 of 500 and 002 – Disk 2 of 500. The page numbering option can only do one serial number per page. How can I create a multiple automated numbers like that? If InDesign can’t do it, is there any plug-in that can do this?
Thank you for your time.
Teddy

Ok Nearly did it with a Paragraph Style
You will need to convert the numbering to text and GREP Search
Find
^\b(\d\d\s)
Change To
0$1
But it works, you just need 500 paragraph returns
See screen shot
Why is everything queued these days?

Multiple Faxes numbers can be configured for a PO

Hi,
I need to know whether we can configure multiple Fax numbers to a PO. If YES, please let me know the steps to configure to a PO.
Many thanks,
Jay

Mani,
Could you please provide the SAP note you referred to in your reply? I am also looking for a standard way to accommodate multiple fax numbers per vendor. Currently contemplating output condition technique by purchasing group/vendor combination to enter multiple output condition records, but realize in the most current release of SAP, you have to supply a 'address number' on the output condition record with medium of 2[fax]....previously, you could enter the fax number directly in the output record. I would like to avoid having to create a address record containing fax number that would then be attached to the output record. Any thoughts?
Many thanks!

Handle multiple material numbers as import parameter in a function module

Hello Folks,
I want to handle multiple material numbers as import parameters.. I have tried using table types but having problem while reading the data....
My requirement is user will input say 10 materials , now i need to get all the information for that particular material ..
I am unable to use for all entries as it is saying that it is not internal table... I have found table types which is having sigon , option, low and high fields but user doesn't want it... He wants to enter only materials... Currently am using this MD_T_MATNR(table type)
I am stuck up here..
Appreciate any kind of help.
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
it looks like you are on a good way, just something little is missing. Type MD_T_MATNR is suitable for your issue. I have tried it and probably your problem is that You have to use
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_matnr WHERE mara~matnr EQ it_matnr~table_line.
instead of
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN it_matnr WHERE mara~matnr EQ it_matnr~matnr.
In this example I suppose that a name of your variable of type MD_T_MATNR is it_matnr. Problem is that table line is not structure, but data element, therefore You have to use ~table_line instead of ~matnr.
Hope it helps.

Business Delegate pattern - need some advice

Hi. First let me apologize for the long post. I could see no other way. I�m building a system that quite large and I need some advice. The system is a type of transaction system, let�s suppose a shopping cart. I�m using struts taglibs and tiles for presentation, struts proper for controller, and POJOs for business logic. Also I�m using OJB for my data tier.
Now I�ve been reading Pro Jakarta Struts (Apress), which BTW is a recommended read to anyone with novice experience in struts and related technologies. I�ve assimilated most of the techniques and patterns described in the book, and most of them make sense to me. However, I�ve hit a snag while reading the Business Delegate and Service Locator patterns.
The way I had though of building my application before reading the book, was to have a wrapper class, such as the following:
public class ShoppingCart {
private IAuthenticationService authenticationService;
private ITransactionService transactionService;
public ShoppingCart() {
     authenticationService = new DBAuthenticationService();
     authenticationService = new DBTransactionService();
public login(String username, String password) {
     String sessionToken = authenticationService.logon(username, password);
     return sessionToken;
private boolean isValidUser(sessionToken) {
     bolean validUser = authenticationService.isValidUser(sessionToken);
     return validUser;
public performTransaction(sessionToken, TransactionVO) {
     if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
          throw new AuthenticationException();
     transcationService.performTransaction(TransactionVO);
public editPreferences(sessionToken, PreferencesVO) {
     if (!isValidUser(sessionToken) {
          throw new AuthenticationException();
     authenticationService.performTransaction(PreferencesVO);
}My idea was that my wrapper class would isolate all the business logic and could perform login service in case my application was ever to be used with other presentation layer than struts (standalone client, web services). However I believe that this overlaps the Business Delegate pattern and maybe even totally implements it. The way I understand the code I�m reading in the book, they suggest having a BD for each major service such as AuthenticationServiceBD, TransactionServiceBD, etc� However this would break my single point of entry for authenticating users. I really need some advice on my design and how it fits with the BD and SL patterns (or others). I would also like to know what you think/recommend of my authentication strategy.
thanks in advance
Raphael

Thanks for your reply. This however, I understood. My concern is regarding my application in regards to business delegate pattern. You see I have this class (simplified for clarity):
public class ShoppingCart {
   private ILoginService ls = new DBLoginService();
   private ITransactionService ts = new DBTransService();
   // and so on for all services I offer.
   // then I mirror all the calls of my private interfaces
   // and pass them through internally
   public String sessionToken login(String username, String password) {
        ls.login(username, password);
   public boolean addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo) {
        // check session
        ts.addToCart(sessionToken, itemNo);
   // and so on
}Multiple questions for this one:
1) Am I not already implementing the Business Delegate pattern with my ShoppingCart class since all interfaces are private and all calls are mirrored from the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) to the private interfaces? All services are implemented as POJOs and I am not using JNDI at the present so I don't use the ServiceLocator pattern.
2) I store a reference to the wrapper class (ShoppingCart) in the ServletContext so I can grab it from my Action classes. What do you think of this approach?
3) How many BDs should an application contain. In my case I use just one. What is the advantage of using more?
4) I create my own session tokens in case I ever want to use to business code in a non-web applications where sessions are not available readily. This brings about the problem that I can't pass the interfaces directly to the Action classes because the login session needs to be checked before any calls to services. So all methods include a sessionToken parameter which I use to check the session. This way, if I want to expose some of the services through web services, I can still use a login. What do you think of this approach.
5) Any other remarks are very welcome...
I really need help with this from an experienced programmer. Most things I can handle on my own but with this type of design issue, books just don't cut it. I need experience. I would really apreciate some feedback.

ps: I would give all my Duke dollars for this (I only have 30), but I'm not sure how. If you want them I can create a dummy question and give them to you.

I need some advice...

Hi, I'm not quite sure where this topic should go exactly as it isn't about a specific topic. So plz fogive me if it's wrongly placed in your opinion.
Anyway, I've been a long time fan of Linux and I don't want to have to stop using it. I've just recently converted my whole computer to a linuxbox only system, as I was running winxp(uke) before and couldn't stand it. It would lag during simple tasks like going from one directory to another and for no apparent reason, which aided me in my conversion. Enough about winblows, I don't need to tell you guys why it sucks, we all have our reasons. But there is just one thing bothering me now... and that is gaming. I am a huge fan of gaming and have been doing so for quite some time now (years) and well... gaming on linux hasn't been too pleasant for obvious reasons.
1) the games I play except for quake3 are written and made to run solely on a winblows workstation.
2) Wine and Winex3 have limited, but growing support for a range of games.
3) Lastly the main game I would like to play (Steam CS 1.6) doesn't like to run on linux due to its constant updates, which throws WInex3 out of wack. Where it could have been working the day before but due to the update it no longer runs.
I'm thinking of just making a partition for winxp(uke) so that I can game, but this isn't something I'm totally willing to do.
Basically I need some advice and/or suggestions that anyone is willing to share with me.
Thank you in advance.
BTW: I'm not new to linux, I've been using it for almost 2 years now and have tried ALL of the distro's you can think of. (Arch is my distro of choice at the moment, along with slackware.)

Enemy Territory is an excellent game, and it is totally free.
I haven't played the free game from the US Army, but heard it is really good, and is totally free.
I bought Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which plays perfectly in Single player mode, but I have some trouble in multiplayer mode (and I'm not an expert either).
I bought Unreal Tournament 2004, which plays perfectly in both single player and online, but I simply suck at the game.
I bought Never Winter Nights because I know the company has a linux version you can download once you have a registered copy. I havent installed it yet, though, been playing UT2004.
Doom3 is supposedly going to have a linux installer on the CD's, like UT2004 does.
Anygame that uses OpenGL graphics instead of DirectX will prolly run under WINE or WINEX, or be easy for the original company to port (if they choose to).
There are some "up and coming" linux only OpenGL games, light flightgear (a flight simulator), and a couple of 'massive online games".
Betweet RTCW, EnemyT, Never Winter Nights, UT2004, and soon Doom3 - I have enough games to play, and thats without buying winex.
Fergettabout Windows! You simply don't need it anymore.
If you are determined to run Windows, get a removeable drive bay, and just swap boot drives when you want to swtich. Or use GRUB if you want to select from multiple OS's.
thx

I need some advice about the macbook pro and iPhone 5.
I took a video on my iPhone and tried to email it it said it was too big to send? So i downloaded it to my macbook pro and tried to mail it to no avail? The macbook tells me the server won't let it through other mail goes through any ideas how to resize it or what it might take to send it?

I agree with LowLister, the best option for you to share the video online is to upload it to your online storage account for example : Box, Dropbox, SkyDrive (All of them provide free storage beginning from 2GB).
You can upload the files which you want to share in this online storage and then they have sharing options in which you'll will get the link of the file to be sent and send the email. You're good to go!
Tip : You can store multiple files for backup purposes.

Multiple Fax numbers

Hi Gurus,
Need to know your opinion on this particular situation and whether it is realistic.
Vendor has 3 FAX numbers.
When PO is outputted and Faxed, it should go on one particular number, if that number is busy or fax machine is not responding, then the PO should be outputted on the 2 nd fax number and machine and so on.
Is this possible?
Regards,
Pankaj

this is not possible.
first thing is that you can maintain multiple fax numbers in a vendor master, but SAP takes only the first one, except you code some own logic in a user exit.
When you create a PO, then the message is determined according to the message determination setup and condition records maintained in your system.
In that moment, just 1 fax number is taken to the message.
after this the message is transferred from the purchasing application to the fax appication.
And only the fax application (transaction SOST) knows if the fax was succesfully sent or not. But the fax application has no option to check any master data for alternative numbers.
the message is in a graphic format, it roughly has the information that the message is to be send by fax using number 12345, no information about a vendor number anymore.

Weird Access Problems - Really Need Your Advice

This is complex and confusing, and I am not an IT expert. Let me provide background and symptoms:
1) I recently moved and transferred ISP providers from Cox to Adelphia.
2 My setup consists of Mac G5, a Powerbook, and an Airport Station. The internet cable from Adelphia runs into the Airport Station. A cable then runs from the Airport Station to the G5, and the connection to the Powerbook is made via wireless. This setup worked very well when Cox was my ISP
3) My Apple Mail client accesses mail servers at Cox, Adelphia, Gmail, and .Mac,
4) When I made the hookup described in 2) I was no longer able to access Gmail from Safari. However, when I directly connected the Adelphia cable to the G5 (cutting the Airport out of the loop) I was able to access Gmail.
5) Upon review from Adelphia they suggested that I make sure that there no static entries had been placed in the DHCP field. I checked the field using the Airport software and cleared the field (I am not sure if this was static entry or had been placed there by Adelphia).
6) I hooked the computers and Airport up as in 2). Now the Gmail could be accessed from Safari. HOWEVER, now I could not access Adelphia's mail from Safari. Also I found that I could not access some the the web pages that came up as a result of Google searchs. This has never occurred before.
7) Additionally, I found now when directly connected the G5 to the Adelphia cable I could still get Gmail, but I no longer could access .Mac from Safari.
Note: I have gone through the same steps above using Foxfire and get similar results
BASIC SUMMARY: 1) When Airport is in the connections cannot get access .Mac from Safari (but can access Gmail and Adelphia). 2) When the Airport is connected I cannot access Adelphia from Safari (but can access Gmail and .Mac).
WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT???: 1) Should I reset the Airport to its original factory settings and reinstall?. 2) Should I clear out the cookies?. 3) Since these are all related to various mail accounts (Gmail, .Mac, and Adelphia) is there something that could be done with the Apple Mail client???
Need your advice!
Mac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

PLB11,
pretty complex indeed.
I would start by running Network Diagnostics with your standard configuration (i.e. the one with the Airport).
In the Apple menu, select System Preferences, Network, then click on the "Assist me..." button on the bottom. That should give you two options: "Diagnostics" and "Assistant".
Try Diagnostics first. If that doesn't solve your problem, run it again without the Airport. If the problem persists, run Assistant and set up a new configuration from scratch, using the original layout with the Airport.
Please post back the results. Good luck!

Need an advice in Oracle Application Server

Dear all,
I need your advice.....
What I have:
- 2 servers (Windows 2008 R2 64bit) .. planned as Application Servers
- Oracle 11g Database installed in a server
- forms (.fmx) , reports (.rdf) , compiled using Oracle 10g DS R2
- Oracle 10g Developer Suit R2
What I want:
- Install Oracle Application Server in the 2 servers available (Windows 2008 R2)
- make sure all (.fmx & .rdf) will work im these 2 servers
- take advantage of the powerful servers
What I did:
- Install Oracle 10g AS R2 in both servers
- configure webcache balance
What I faced:
- both servers worked fine except:
- (.fmx) files cannot be cached
- slow while opening (.fmx) files
- AGAIN, SLOW
ADVICE??
- Do I need to continue using this installation OR
- Is there any better installation & configuration that will help get (What I want:)
Kind Regards

Hi zzalabri,
I know i have replied it late,
Oracle Web Cache uses cacheability rules to store documents. These rules fall into two categories:
1)Rules for static content, such as GIF, JPEG, or static HTML files
2)Rules for dynamically generated content created using technologies like Java Server Pages (JSP), Active Server Pages (ASP), PL/SQL Server Pages (PSP), Java Servlets, and Common Gateway Interface (CGI).
How can I make my server caches .fmx files using webcache (( webcache is configured already but it says "URL contains query string"))..
The below link would be helpful for setting caching rules for Oracle Webcache
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B15904_01/caching.1012/b14046/cache.htm
Is there any configuration for Application Server 10g R2 AFTER the fresh installation OR it works as it is ..
The default installation is self tuned to handle a load of approximately 200 users(it depends on network as well as ur DB)
I knew for sure what makes my server slow, that is because of background images in fmb & fmx files. when I removed them it became fast enough.
In my environment,i used to staore all this images in gif format(images size max would be 50kb)then store all these images in a jar file and load this jar file through archive_jini(Formsweb.cfg)
Hope this would be helpful,
Regards

Session/jstl and load balancing - need expert advice

After user loggs in, I am getting locale from db and storing it inside userSession along with userLogin. Inside jsp using <fmt> tag to display locale based resource property.
HttpSession userSession = request.getSession(true);
userSession.setAttribute("UserLogin", oRS.getString("user_login"));
Config.set(userSession, Config.FMT_LOCALE, currentLocale);Also using filter after login page to check for User Session. Currently all working fine .
But if i want to make use of load balancing, whether still it will work?
1)I understand that if i depend on network config i.e. session request sticks to one server then i believe shld not be a problem
2)But if that is not the choice then what else ? Client want to make use of serialization technique. I do not know much about it, how to implement it, any sample is greatly appreciated.
3)what about jstl Config.set(..) whether any changes needed here?
4)Do i need to change filter code.
Pls pls help me, i really need expert advice on this.

1)If i want cluster server to replicate the session
then all attributes saved in the session have to be
serializable.yes.
2)In docs it is mentioned
Use setAttribute to Change Session State
In an HTTP servlet that implements
javax.servlet.http.HttpSession, use
HttpSession.setAttribute (which replaces the
deprecated putValue) to change attributes in a
session object. If you set attributes in a session
object with setAttribute, the object and its
attributes are replicated in a cluster using
in-memory replication. If you use other set methods
to change objects within a session, WebLogic Server
does not replicate those changes. Every time a change
is made to an object that is in the session,
setAttribute() should be called to update that object
across the cluster.
Whether it means that if I want to store a object
(which is serializable) e.g. 'String' inside session
and use setAttribute() method then I do not need to
make that object implicitly serializable?No, you still need the objects to be serializable.

Getting 'Password Needed - Network' dialog box

I have a site on IIS 5.0 that is using Basic and integrated NT authentication. The site contains a page that loads an applet. Prior to upgrading to JVM 1.4.1 everything worked fine - a NT login box would pop up on connecting to the site - after a successful login the page and applet would load. After the upgrade, when the page with the applet loads I am presented with a second login box - "Password Needed - Network".
I've tried excluding the site address from the proxy server using both the IE settings and the JVM settings, but no luck. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi, this is what I did and how it looks;
After reading the posts I contacted NetAway, (they are a roaming pay as you go ISP, you can use local dial-up numbers world wide), they told me to type my user ID with the addition of @netaway.com. It isn't an email address although I can see why you ask. The ID with password accesses the Netaway website to check your available minutes and to buy more.
In the Network Dialog Box (under System Preferences) the password still shows 24 dots/characters, my Netaway password is only 8, I only entered the 8 characters but after pressing 'apply' the password field changed from 8 to 24 characters?
The Internet Connect dialog box (was automatically filled) shows 10 characters?
After pressing 'Connect' despite the password fields (see above) both looking wrong I'm able to dial-up, authenticate account and successfully connect!
I can see this seems illogical, as a new mac user I sometimes struggle to understand how certain areas of OSX work!
Please feel free to ask if this is unclear.
