Setting a E4200 as primary router for Uverse (Making the Gateway a modem)

So we just received Uverse a week ago, and we switched from Comcast. For Comcast, it was simple enough if you wanted to change routers, as the modem was separate when provided by Comcast. As a result, I really do not have a lot of knowledge with AT&T's configuration of hardware.
So my goal for today was to turn the Uverse provided 3801HGV Gateway into a simple modem, and set up a Linksys E4200 as the primary router. I assume that this is the best setup speed and bandwidth wise for high bandwidth applications like gaming and streaming (Compared to having the Gateway allocate IP addressing and firewalls).
So my steps were as followed:
Dynamic IP - DHCP is already enabled for the gateway.
1) Hooked up laptop to Gateway through ethernet cable, and turn off wireless interface (transmission) here:http://192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=C_2_1.
2) Disconnected ethernet cable from computer and gateway.
3) Connected ethernet cable from a LAN port on the gateway to the broadband WLAN main port on the router. Hooked up another ethernet cable from a LAN port on the router to my laptop.
4) Installed and configured router through provided CD (DHCP was enabled by default) (Firmware is latest)
5) Accessed the gateways settings through computer, went to "firewall, pinholes, dmz" setting (http://192.168.1.254/xslt?PAGE=C_3_1), and changed the router's specific firewall access to DMZplus.
6) Reset Router.
After I did all of these steps, the internet worked like a charm. I didn't test speed or play any online games to check latency, but browsing seemed normal.
However, after browsing the routers settings for a bit, I noticed NAT was enabled. I turned this off, seeing that in my previous Comcast setup it was just an inconvenience for gaming (xbox).
The result of this after a reboot was complete loss of internet from LAN and WLAN (but I could still access router and gateway settings (just because of the ethernet cable I assume)). Chrome gave me DNS errors every time I tried a website. I renabled NAT and rebooted, and it still gave me DNS errors. I rebooted the router multiple times, and unplugged it, and it still would not connect to the internet. I later learned that DMZ or some other firewall setting in the gateway required NAT, so it seemed as though I messed up something indirectly, even after enabling NAT again.
I tried multiple factory resets of the router, and cleared the device list under diagnostics in the Gateway's settings. However, the gateway still showed the router under devices after the multiple device wipes for some reason (I disconnected the router from the gateway too). After I reset the router through the pinhoel button on the back, I tryed to install and configure the router again through the CD, but it got stuck at 90 percent and an error accuired. I tryed this multiple times. Now I can not even access the routers settings.
I don't know what to do at this point, other than ask AT&T and/or Linksys on what to do.
I spent hours trying to get this to work. Can anyone help me out?
What should I do from here? If I get this working again, what should be my router's and gateway's settings?

Check out the second post in this forum. If you still have any issues with the gateway, you would be better off asking them, but feel free to ask us also . http://forums.att.com/t5/Residential-Gateway/U-verse-for-BUSINESS-2Wire-3600HGV-bridge-mode-or-anoth...

PO routed for approval but the PO does not require release

Hi Guys i have an issue,
My ECC PO Routed for approval, but the PO doesnot requre Release as its was below the approval limit. Workflow should not be routed , but then also the user got the Workitem

Iam not sure about what iam proposing but, take a look at this SPRO settings in the prodcution system.
1. See based on the release code that is sent to workflow , the workitem will be sent to user or not.
2. Copy release code that is passed to workflow container (you can get this from workflow log technichal details SWIA or SWI1)and check in the table T16FC, if the entry is found then check the field FRGWF - Role resolution for workflow is initial or not if it is not initial then try to make it initial and then trigger the workflow.
here the possible vallues in the field FRGWF are 1 or 9 if any one of them is set with respect to that releasecode , i think that indicates that the workflow will try to determine the release code agent from t he defined organizational structure.
if you make it initial then, i hope the workitem will not be sent to the releasecode agent.
Please check this system table

Can I use Time Capsule and keep my Telstra router for connection to the internet?

Can I use Time Capsule without changing, to keep my Telstra router for conection to the internet?

You can either bridge the TG or the TC.
For the TC.. I explained it in the previous post.. and it is posted again and again and again.
For the TG782T.. open it directly from a pc.. select configuration wizard and choose bridge.. it is as easy as that.
Then setup pppoe client for the TC with your Telstra username and passwork.
Post again in Whirlpool forum if you have issues.
Either dsl hardware or bigpond.

How to set a default trust store just for DirContext not the whole JVM

I need to connect to a secure LDAP server ( URL is ldaps://..../). The Server certificate in this LDAP server is a self signed cert so I need to put this certificate in my Keystore as well for me to connect to it.
My code is something like :
DirContext ctx=null;
    Properties prop = .... ;
    // I set URL etc. in this.
    KeyStore ks = some_function_call();
    // save this keystore to file
    java.io.FileOutputStream fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream("/tmp/newKeyStoreName.jks");
    char[] password = .....
    ks.store(fos, password);
    fos.close();
    // set this keystore as the default Keystore.
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "/tmp/newKeyStoreName.jks");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", ...);
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStoreType", "jks");
    ctx = new InitialDirContext(prop);My problem is when I do a System.setProperty it makes it the default trust store for the whole JVM. I want a solution that would use this trust store only for the DirContext as I do not want this keystore to be used for other parts of my code. And its an MT application so setting keystore back to default one after this LDAP query gets over won't work.
I tried changing System.setProperty to props.put() it doesn't work.
Any ideas?

I have the same problem. I have to make 2 different SSL calls to 2 different 2 servers and if I set to System truststore and keystore properties I have a problem, 'cause those are different for each server.
I you have found the solution in the meanwhile, maybe you can write it here.
thanks,

Lost printer access after daisychaining linksys secondary onto Actiontec primary router

Help please..Need to get printer connection lost when FIOS Actiontec router wireless G replaced with WRT160N.
My devices;
a Dell Vista desktop is home pc, hardwired to...
a FIOS Actiontec wireless G router (model # MI424WR.... the current router they're installing and...
Ricoh Aficio printers (first was just a printer; second one, is printer and fax...) are hardwired to same Vista desktop.
Plus, a laptop and...
a desktop pc's, both running XP SP3; both connecting with Netgear USB wireless adapters; WN111v1, and WN111v2.
recently added Linksys WRT160N router to the network to control the wireless, taking that duty away from the Actiontec (which had to keep as DHCP enabled primary router, for TV service.)
Apple Airport Express as wireless client; just to play iTunes wirelessly thru home stereo.
first configuration; All worked fine 2 months ago, before I installed FIOS; original configuration was, Aficio Printer hardwired to Vista desktop; RCN broadband service with modem; router was Linksys WRT160N,; security bounced between WPA 2 and WPA, depending on what worked at the time. my XP laptop could connect wirelessly through network, to that printer.
-then, switched from RCN broadband to Verizon FIOS; implemented second configuration; modem removed, replaced by Actiontec wireless G router for internet and tv, initially taking away the Linksys for the Actiontec for wireless etc. I was still able to use the Actiontec's G signal to find the printer through the network; so, still OK. I also changed security from WEP to WPA2-AES, which worked fine; even adding Airport Express for wireless iTunes to home stereo. But Not happy with G speed;
then implemented third config; - so dusted off and daisychained the Linksys as secondary router, hardwired to the Actiontec, to act as an access point for wireless, shutting off the Actiontec wireless signal. Worked great for N internet connection; but now cannot connect to printer. Also at this time, Coincidentally, a different printer/fax machine replaced the original printer; Aficio brand. No drivers were added to the other pc's for this printer.
Net result; my XP pc's can still connect to router and internet; but cannot install the new printer completely.
my XP laptop shows the printer, but gets error "spooling service not running". an XP desktop doesn't even show the printer when browsing to add printers; it gets stuck at error "cannot add a printer not in the trusted network". Named all computers as WORKGROUP and did the windows network set-up. I also have McAfee antivirus on the Vista home pc; but have Norton Symantec from Comcast (long story!) on the 2 XP pc's; so I cannot fully identify and manage the three pc;'s on the network.
trying to fix; last night i downloaded and installed onto the XP's microsoft's hotfix (? Lttp or whatever) which successfully made them show up on the Vista network map, with properties displayed etc.
I also hardwired the laptop to printer and installed Aficio drivers; it seems to be installed, but never got it to print a test page.
'wirelessly i can bring the printer up on laptop network map, see properties and settings (for printing); but get error message when trying to print test page. Meanwhile, the vista desktop can still use the printer, as always.
my ideas;
1. change WPA2-AES back to WEP; just to see (but hardwiring printer to laptop didn't succeed completely...?)
2. could put McAfee on all three pc's, if that would help. rather not, i prefer the Symantec (but hardwiring ruled this out, right??)
3. try to configure so that all devices are identified clearly on the network, and managed.
any suggestions?
thanks, pdoyle

How did you connect the linksys to the actiontec?
If it was lan port of actiontec to wan port of linksys the presumably the linksys is on a secondary subnet which will give you problems getting to the printers as there is no route to them.
If that is what happened you just need to move all your hard wired ethernet connections from the actiontec to the linksys. One everything is on the same subnet then it should all work OK again. In addition anything on the linksys subnet should be able to see anything on the actiontec network (not vice versa)

Is it possible to be connected with a 3G modem for internet access and a WiFi router for printer sharing at the same time?

For our only internet access we have a 3G wireless modem. I have since purchased a WiFi printer and router to connect all the comptuters to in the house. The PCs have no problem with using both the 3G connection and the WiFi signal at the same time to print, however, the MacBook Pro will not connect to the 3G network and the router, it will drop the internet access from the modem and attempt to connect via WiFi (which has no internet access). Is there a solution that is available to remedy this? I attempted to create an adhoc printer network, however, the macbooks again will not print off of this, only the PCs. And I'm getting a bit frustrated overall with this.

The 3G wireless modem is on one of the PC's correct?
Why don't you pass the Internet through the Ethernet port to the router via Cat5 cable, then have that transmit a Wifi signal that everything else can use, then connect the printer to the router for print sharing?
You would have to turn off the wifi on the comptuer with the 3G modem as it's physically connected to the router and can't connect to the other machines as they are all connected to the router for sharing.
The Mac has the ability to pass, Internet Sharing in the System Preferences.
Do you have software for the Mac to run the 3G modem?

Using Router for wireless dial-up connection

Can anyone tell me if I can use a router to set up a wireless network when I only have a dial-up internet connection available?
I have a desktop computer that seems not to have a wireless network card, so I guess I have to have that first. Then, do I use a Router or an Access Point? I have read many posts on the subject that are quite old so don't know what to use.
Any suggestions as to which models to use would be very helpful. I have no idea what I'm doing!

Then only way you can do this is to set up ICS (internet connection sharing) on the PC that is going to connect to the dail up and install a router or AP behind that from that PC's neywork card. Then the other PC's can connect to the router/AP then to the gateway (PC running ICS).
However, your connection speed would still be very slow. I would recomend just calling your local ISP and look into a broadband (DSL/Cable) connection and connect a router (wireless or wired) to the modem (DSL or Cable) your ISP gives you. That would save the head ache would would get configuring ICS. Here is a link to use as a reference on setting that up.

Database Copy can't copy primary key for tables

When I use Tools->Database Copy Wizard to copy my existing schema (for example: azteca_KSMMS) to a brand new schema (azteca), I find the primary key for some of the tables can't be copied, also the views seem not valid under the new schema (azteca). Please give me your comments about that. Thanks for your help.
Kevin

For example I have a table called workorder, it has a primary key with name (CW_PKEY_519, on WORKORDERID column) from the source schema (azteca_KSMMS). After I database copy to new schema azteca, the primary key lost. The data of workorder and other indexes have been copied to azteca schema.

Charged £1.50 for not making calls... but we are!

Hello, we have been with BT for about 3 months. We paid for 12 months of line rental and have a unlimited phone/10GB broadband package.
We have been chaged every single month for not making the minimum number of calls per month, however we are making a couple of calls each week and one month in paticular we made quite alot as a family member was in hospital. We started to record the calls but gave up at about 10 because it was inconvinient.
The customer service people (whom we are calling from this phone we are not making any calls from!) repeatedly tell us over and over that we are not making calls... but we are!
Does anyone know what is happening here?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If your calls are being billed to the wrong company, try prefixing your calling number with 1280, that will ensure that the call gets routed via BT. Then see if the calls appear on your bill.
If they do, then somehow your calls are still being billed to TalkTalk, and you may have a nasty surprise when they bill you.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Advice for recovering from "The requested URL was not found on this server" error when browsing photos and videos on my iPhone 4S IOS5.1

Im not quite sure how I got into this situation but I have fried my Iphone app photo and video library. This demonstrates itself in 2 ways
1. The above error message when I attempt to play videos older than a certain date.
2. Photos older than a certain date - appear to be grainy suggesting that only the thumbnails are on the phone, and the full resolution photos have been blitzed.
This coruption may have occured as I have replaced my Iphone 2 times in the last few months for various reasons, where each time I have restored them both using back ups I have made using icloud. (I havent made an Itunes back up since the iclod came around)
In reading the support forums - it suggest to restore from a back up version. Is anyone aware if selectively restoring media content from an icloud back up is possible.
I have 2 Back Up versions on icould.
1- 13.5 GB
2- 7.2 GB
My hope is that the earlier 13.5 GB version has content I am looking for.
I am kicking myself for not making the occassional itunes back up, or at least use Image capture as a more secure way of ensuring my personal content is not lost. (I am loosing faith with icould).
Can someone suggest a good workflow for restoring from a cloud back up. I have already downloaded the most recent photos using image capture onto my mac.
Kiwi Grant

Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-(

I'm not good with computers so please explain in simple way...:)
I also wonder what the best way is to set up accounts for children in a family. I dont want them to be able to purchase apps etc through the parents accounts, also some things we like to share as a family and others we don't want to share. Is there any good. clear, simple explanation from Apple Support about these issues? Or best to go to Apple store and go to genius bar or one to one advise?
thanks

You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.

I have two iTunes accounts. One was set up for my iPhone; the second was created for my iPad. I just updated my iPhone and it linked my to my second iTunes account instead of y primary. How can I change it back to my primary account?

Need help Setting up Multiple Static Ip , 1 for each port of the fios router

Need help Setting up multiple Static Ip on my fios router
I have been trying to figure out how to set up multiple ip in my fios router.
However I kind of managed how to set up multiple static ip However the way I want it is for each port of my router to have an external ip signed to it. ( like 4 different modem in 1 )
Verizon gave me 5 static ip but they can not help me how to set it up.
Have anyone here done more then one static ip on different ports? I assume that the process will be the after the second static ip.

You want to set up Static Nat. You will not assign the IP to a port, but rather to a local machine. Figure out what machines you want your IP's to go to. Under the firewall section you will see static nat. Pick the machine you want and enter one of the IP's you were assigned.

Setting up router for port forwarding - WRT54G

Hi all. I'm trying to set up my WRT54G wireless router so.i can port forward the relevant ports for my programs. I understand that you have to set up a static ip address before you can do a port forward which makes sense as you do not want to keep changing the ip address for the forwarding settings every time your network refreshes. But I cant seem to have it set up. And is there a rule that the static ip that you set should not be within the dhcp range?
After setting up the static ip and setting up the port forward settings how do I test if the port is being forwarded correctly?
Please assist! Thanks!

IIt;s usually to set the static IP outside the DHCP range like you said. You can use the router's DHCP reservation feature to set a "static IP", and as for your last question, you can find different methods on how to do that by searching the web.
