RDP to a Terminal Server via TTPT not working through routers.

I am having problems using RDP to a terminal server through a user home router and DSL connection.
User has a Linksys WRT5G v3 (Firmware 4.21.1) connected to a Cisco 678 DSL Modem.
If I direct connect the home computer to the Cisco DSL Modem everything works fine. When I try to go through the Linksys, I can get the PPTP authenticated but the RDP client just times out.
It would seem like this is a port forwarding issue, but I have tried to use the port forwarding to the IP address of the home computer(statically assigned) by forwarding ports 47, 1723 for the PPTP and port 3389 for RDP.
I have seen the same issue on my home Broadband cable setup with a NetGear Router. Having spent over an hour with the NetGear technical support without resolution. I swapped in a old Linksys Wireless Router BEFW11S4 v4 (firmware 1.52.02) and it fixed the issue.
What is the issue with some home routers letting RDP out? Is there a known model that it will work on?

I believe I have found what my issue is. The older Linksys BEFW11S4 model has a “hard coded” DHCP Server Start IP Address range of 192.168.0.X you can only change the last octet. The newer Linksys WRT5G and WRT54Gs have a “hard coded” DHCP Server Start IP Address range of 192.168.1.X.
Apparently this is their “dumb downed” solution for home routers. They do not allow you to select a different subnet to hand out with DHCP but interestingly they do allow you to fully configure the LAN IP address.
How this affected me is that my target server/network uses the same 192.168.1.X addressing scheme.
I was able to use the newer router by configuring the LAN address to like 192.168.0.200 and turning off the DHCP server. Then I assigned a static IP address to the computer in the home network to something like 192.168.0.250. Then I could successfully use PPTP and RDP to connect to a terminal server.

Connection to server via smb not working

hi,
i have an old G4 iBook 10.3.9 that i'm using for school. to connect to our school server for course material, we were given smb log-in instructions from our it dept. when i put in the ip address, i get a prompt for the id and password, but i cannot get access. we tried logging on with my professor's macbook pro (10.5) and it worked flawlessly.
i've done all software updates and rechecked the procedure dozens of times, but i can't figure out why it's not working. if anyone has an idea, i'm all ears.
thanks,

created in my UTF-8 Mysql DB your table and inserted a record; the select shows:
SQL> select * from "movieclass"@mysql;
idClass
ClassName
123
H e l l o
As you can see the content is there, the "space" between the letters is related to unicode. Each character is interpreted by 2 bytes and SQL*Plus wrongly displays both. Using iSQLPLus or SQLDeveloper does not show the "space" between the letters.
Here the data type mapping:
SQL> desc "movieclass"@mysql;
Name Null? Type
idClass NUMBER(3)
ClassName NOT NULL NVARCHAR2(50)
What's the exact version of DG4ODBC you're using? 11.1.0.7?
According to the listener file you're using DG4ODBC on Windows. There was a high/low byte issue in DG4ODBC for Windows. This issue is fixed in 11.1.0.7 and a certain patch. So I recommend you to get first the 11.1.0.7 patchset (if you don't already have it installed):
6890831 Oracle Database Family: Patchset
11.1.0.7.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER 11.1.0.7.0
and then please apply also the latest patch:
8689191 Oracle Database Family: Patch
ORACLE 11G 11.1.0.7 PATCH 16 BUG FOR WINDOWS 32 BIT 11.1.0.7.0

I would like to know why when i make a web page and test in my local browser it works fine then when i tranfer to my server i does not work fine example i used javascript to put a prompt bar on a page and it worked fine local but on server not working

how come when i make a web site and i test it in my local server it works fine when i tranfer to server certain things do not work example i used javascript to put in a prompt bar for a newsletter page at the server it did not work but at local it did also it works at MOZZILLA but not internet explorer i also have cs4 was wondering if there is a way to test a page in dreamweaver and then transfer THANK YOU X-FACTOR-MEDIA

In future, please try to make the subject line of your posts shorter. In this case the following would have been sufficient: "JavaScript works locally, but not on remote server".
Short, but meaningful subject lines make it easier for others to identify what your question is about, and often bring faster help.

Lion Server DNS service not working for locally created zones. Caching working fine.

OS Lion Server DNS service not working for local zones. Was fine under Snow leopard server but Lion server upgrade has severely broken my DNS and web sites. Zones look fine under Server Admin but keep getting "query failed (SERVFAIL) for xxxx at /SourceCache/bind9/bind9-42/bind9/bin/named/query.c:3921" in the logs. BTW - Server Admin cant seem to see the log file either.
Surely someone actually tested that DNS still worked on Lion?

I upgraded from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server on day 01. I hit the same issue where, after the upgrade, my Lion Server stopped serving names for my private local domain.
I finally took a few minutes to figure out what was wrong. After turning on debug logging and looking through the logs, I found my particular issue, now resolved.
The issue I had was, when the domain initially was setup when I installed Snow Leopard Server, for some reason it created a zone just for the server (in my case, something like zone "s-01.mydomain.priv"), and a separate zone for all the other machines (zone "mydomain.priv", containing all the private IPs for my local domain). I never messed with it because it worked, but generally I would have put all of them in the same zone.
My zone "mydomain.priv" had a nameserver and mail exchanger entry for my server, s-01.mydomain.priv. I could see this in the Server Admin app on the DNS bubble, Zones tab, mydomain.priv selected, and the General Info panel. This was fine in Snow Leopard. This was failing the zone load in the updated bind for Lion Server, though. The issue was that the "mydomain.priv" zone was referencing the s-01.mydomain.priv server, which was not defined in the "mydomain.priv" zone but rather in the "s-01.mydomain.priv" zone.
My fix:
1. In Server Admin, add the server to the zone "mydomain.priv". I put an A record (Add Machine) in the "mydomain.priv" zone for my server named s-01.mydomain.priv.
2. shut down DNS on the OS X Lion Server (hit the Stop DNS button on Server Admin).
3. edit /etc/named.conf by hand, removing the specialized zones that contianed just the server. In this case, it would be the section titled 'zone "s-01.mydomain.priv"' and the section titled 'zone "3.10.1.10.in-addr.arpa"'. Your in-addr.arpa zone name will change based on whatever your server IP address was. My internal one happened to have s-01.mydomain.priv mapped to 10.1.10.3.
4. Once the specialized zones for just the server were removed, I started the DNS up again. Instead of serving four zones as it had in OS X Snow Leopard Server, it now servers two zones. And, now, it is resolving my local machines for the mydomain.priv zone.
YMMV. I did note that it wasn't totally necessary to do step 3, but I never really understood the need for the specialized domain, and keeping it around would have a copy of data that would just confuse things.
Hope that helps. That's been the only hiccup I've noticed updating to OS X Lion Server thus far.

IPod touch not working through USB in car

Does anyone know how to resolve an issue with the new IPod Touch 4th gen just purchased not working through car stereo. Have a new Toyota camry touring. You can hear sound when connected when you slide to unlock or go into an app the sound goes through the speakers fine but the radio face says loading and won't go any further, if you then try to go to the music screen it says connected so you can't get into the music to try to play. Has anyone else had this problem and resolved it. Not sure if the software of the radio can be upgraded to suit maybe at service?? Not really sure. Any help would be great

Have you contacted your auto dealer? Some users have reported problems with there car systems not worked with the latest iOS. I searched the iPod Touch forum for Toyota but did not find any previous posts concerning Toyota.
Have you tried resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Printing on HP PSC 1200 not working through WIN XP

Hi! I have a windows PC which I have connected to an HP PSC 1200 printer. My other laptops can connect perfectly to the printer and print. I set up my Mac according to the instructions but I cannot print. In windows the que name is "Remote Downlevel Print" and it is immediately giving an error. I called apple care because my exact model wasn't there so they gave me a printer which used its same driver. I can print when I connect the printer to my USB on my MacBook Pro but it does not work through Windows. If anyone could provide me with some help that would be great. Thanks.

I have a similar problem-Canon Pixma ip4000 wired to Dell desktop running Win 98 2nd ed.---- Desktop is wired to Netgear. --- I can access internet with mac book pro but not print-I could print wirelessly with Toshiba laptop running Win xp-called apple help and spent 2 hours trying to fix but we both gave up-I wonder if I could run a cable from the printer to the netgear---unfortunately no USB interface on the netgear router --so I would have to find a cable that is either USB or parallel on one side and eithernet on the other-does anyone know if this world work? If not I could buy a printer router that just takes care of the printer wirelessly-anyone know of a good one?

Router will not work through splitter

I have a new router from Verizon as the wireless signal kept dropping on my old one. I've always had my stb and router connected through a splitter and it's worked fine. The new router they have sent me which is the latest actiontec router with two antennas and gig E routing capability will not work through a splitter but will work without the splitter. I've purchased a better splitter that will carry up to a 2.4ghz signal but it still doesn't work. Verizon tech refuse to send out an engineer to help me so I'd like to ask if anyone here can shed some light on my issue. I do have two other splitters in the chain due to having two additional stb's in other rooms. I've also tried the router split with one of my other stb's with no luck.

Unfortunately, you may have simply been lucky previously.
I assume you aren't trying to play protected content through the projector, that will never work.
Assuming you aren't, you might try cycling through the resolutions.

HP T410 All-In-One (H2W21AA) serious RDP problem with terminal server

Hi there! The scheme is this:
HP T410 All-In-One (H2W21AA)
firmware that was out-of-the-box got some graphical problems with RDP, so i updated the Smart Zero Core Image to the latest Z6A44019 Rev. 1 (11 dec 2013). Graphical problem gone, but new, much more unpleasant problem emerged.
This thin client is connected to Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, all updates are up-to-date. Terminal Server.
the steps:
- i connect from my machine (W7SP1x64 with latest updates) via RDP (mstsc.exe or tsmmc.mmc - doesn't matter) to the terminal server
- i open up the remote desktop services manager, right click on the user that's connected from the T410
- i hit "remote control" button
- for a moment i see some bits of user's desktop, but in less than a second my RDP session drops with the following error:

the problem is not present for the rest on the terminal users (that are connected from a unix thin clients), i remote control their session without any issues.
Please help me. We are building a new office and planning it for using PoE on every workdesk with your T410 Thin Client. But the fact that i can't manage them remotely brings me a lot of grief.

Hello again! I am sad to tell that my solution was not fully effective - i have got the new problem now
when i remote control session, it connects and works for some time, but at some point (which can be even a second from connection) it disconnects, throws me back to my admin session, and on the client side of t410 the following message appears:

Can't connect to terminal server via Mac RDC

Users can't log in to our terminal server (Server 2008) from Mac using RDC 2.1. After typing in the server name, the client asks the user to login. The user fills in their username, password and domain but receives and error stating "The credentials
that were used to connect to [server_name} are incorrect".
Any user, including myself who am a Domain Admin, get this error. When I log in using the domain's Administrator account, however, I can log in just fine.
None of this occurs when trying to login from a Windows client. The Mac I tested on is running OS X 10.5.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
For remote desktop in MAC OS, you can try to update the new Remote Desktop Connection. New Multiple Session Support gives Mac users simultaneous access to multiple
Windows-based PCs or to a network server that hosts remote applications and files. Since it is a Universal application, Remote Desktop Connection Client 2 is compatible with the latest technologies on Windows and Mac platforms.
Please refer to the following link:
Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac 2.1.1
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=18140
Setting 'Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop (less secure)' in the Terminal server to sees if it’s work well.

Terminal-printer redirection is not working

Hello, I need your help - the situation is: we have an old PC (with Windows XP installed) and need to connect to terminal server (based on Windows Server 2008 R2). Also this old pc have a local printer (USB connected) and we need to print documents from
terminal to this local printer. Unfortunately, this local printer is unavailable from terminal session and I don't know why. We already checked all the necessary options, printer redirection is on at this moment. But there is no effect. How can we solve this
problem? Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Here for your case I would suggest you try enabling Remote Desktop Easy Print Service and verify. But there are points for running this service.
(1) RDC 6.1 or above (Windows XP with Service Pack 3 and above includes this) {Suggest to have RDP 7 for Windows XP}
(2) Even if RDC 6.1 or above is used, the user must install a supported version of .NET Framework separately. Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 (which includes .NET Framework 3.0 SP1) can be downloaded from the Microsoft Download Center (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=109422
*In Windows Vista SP2 with RDC 7.0 and KB971644 installed, .NET Framework is not required
(3) Terminal Services role.
(4) Remote Desktop Session Host Role.
In addition need to see the group policy setting under below path.
Computer Configuration -> Administrative templates -Windows Components -> Remote Desktop Services > Remote Desktop Session Host -> Printer Redirection
Use Remote Desktop Easy Print printer driver first: “Enabled” for Easy Print redirection, and it has to be “Disabled” for Legacy Print. For “Not configured”, Easy Print is chosen by default.
You can find more information and configuration details over below.

Itunes Server (Synology 107+) not seen through Wireless sharing.

I have set up all my music on a server (Synology 107+).
But I can not see my music folder via Itunes over the wireless.(Airport Extreme).
I can see it if I am connected on the ethernet.
What am I doing wrong?
I HAVE GONE to preferences and checked "look for shared libraries"
I HAVE GONE to sys pref/sharing/file sharing. And turned it on.
What else is there?
Why would it see through the ethernet (and play Great) but not wireless.
ALSO I CAN mount the music folder on the server via wireless but just not in itunes.
Any insight would be great.
Also: I have a ATT Uverse Router. The Airport is hooked to the Router as is the Synology 107+ server.
thanks

I have the same issue - can use AirPlay with wired devices - wireless is hit or miss; mostly miss... Using Netgear WNDR3700v2. Did you fix the issue?
Anyone else has any advice?

JRE on Terminal Server 2008 won't work in User Sessions

I have a problem with Java 6 Update 14 on a Windows 2008 Terminal Server.
Java Applications (from normal websites) are starting in Administrator account without any problems.
When i start several website with a normal User Account (Internet Explorer 8.0 installed), the Java-Console puts out the following error:
JNLPException[category: Systemkonfiguration : Exception: null : LaunchDesc: null ]
Then the Java tray icon is restarting for 1 or 2 times, and then the java-field on the websites stays emtpy.
Any idea which problem this could be? I think it would be a permission problem, but where i have to search?
Best Regards
Wolfgang Bauer

Now I've tried to install Firefox on the terminal server. Now in user sessions Java is working with Firefox, but not with Internet Explorer, so:
At Administrator account, Java Applets are working with IE and Firefox.
At user accounts, Java Applets work only with Firefox.
So where could be the problem with IE 8.0? When a Java page is loading, the Java tray icon appears for a few seconds, and goes away, 2 or 3 times.
I've already tried to reinstall Java 6
We need to open the Websites with Internet Explorer 8

Set up Search Service App For SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

Hi all,
I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox. I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM was set up to access
the DC server. Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate to search service app
admin page, it gives error info:
System status: The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is in
a good state and try again.
Search Application Topology: Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
From event viewer, I see following errors:

Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem with Search
Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.    This seems also to be a SP set up issue.
Thanks a lot.

Using new Search Service App wizard to create SSA is always a success. I could delete existing SSA and recreate it and no problem. It says successful but when I open Search Admin page from CA, it gives me errors as mentioned.
Now I used the following PS script for creating SSA from Max Mercher, but it stays at the last setps in following script:

Above errors keep being generated. Last step for SSA creation stay there forever. Any clue what is really going on? Thanks.

SharePoint server 2013 Search Service App on Windows server 2012 R2 not working

Hi all,
I installed SharePoint server 2013 on Windows server 2012 R2 using VirtualBox. I created a DC(domain controller) server with a domain set up on one VM and it has SQL server 2012 SP1 installed. Then SharePoint 2013 on another VM
was set up to access the DC server. Everything seems working except Search Service App which cannot be sucessfully set up. Creation process for Search service app says Successful and 4 search databases were created and look fine. But when I navigate
to search service app admin page, it gives error info:
System status: The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component '386f2cd6-47ca-4b3a-aeb5-d9116772ef16' in search application 'Search Service Application 1' is
in a good state and try again.
Search Application Topology: Unable to retrieve topology component health states. This may be because the admin component is not up and running.
From event viewer, I see following errors:
(1) Error From source: SharePoint Server
Application Server Administration job failed for service instance Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchServiceInstance (b7c72eb8-cbaf-435e-b4c9-963cb6e4e745).

Since separate DC server and SharePoint server do not work, I installed SharePoint 2013 on DC server ( so DC server has everything on it now ) but it gives exactly same result. Later I installed SharePoint 2013 SP1 and still have the same problem
with Search Service app. I spent two weeks tried all suggestions available from Web and Google but SharePoint Search Service simply does not work. Config and other databases work but why Search Service has this issue seemingly related to search DB.
Could anybody please help out? You deserve a top SharePoint consultant award if you could find a solution. I am so frustrated and so tired by this issue.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that SharePoint server 2013 Search Service App did not work on Windows server 2012 R2.
Please make sure you configure Search Service Application correctly. You can refer to:Create and configure a Search service application in SharePoint Server 2013
I recommend to created new Search Service Application, and made a full crawl. Then assigned the new SSA as the default SSA for webapplications. Finnlay checked the issue doesnt occur now,
If all search related components now are online, to keep the enviroonment clean, you can delete the old SSA.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
