Actiontec router not accepting new mac addresses

I have the Actiontec MI424-WR Hardware revision D. I have put MAC addresses in the router before and all those devices are working fine.Now it seems I can't add any new addresses. I am using WEP 64/40.
Tried the powering it off deal, no luck. Anone know why this is happening?

First an obligitory ... you really need to upgrade to at least WEP 128 but preferably WPA2.   Wep64 is very weak.  Additionally, understand that Mac address restriction is almost as much a myth as "turning off SSID broadcast" in terms of providing any additional security.     The first packet that traverses your network gives anyone who wants to spoof a device which is allowed on your network the information they need to defeat Mac locking.
In general Mac locking and SSID broadcast hiding provide no real security and just serve to make your life more difficult.
With that said ...
I've seen that happen and one way I managed to fix it was to turn off Mac locking and apply it.   Then come back and re-enable it and add the necessary systems.   Failing that, I've emptied the list, turned off the Mac locking, applied, and then re-enabled and added everyone back it.   A pain, but it worked.
Two other things I've occasionally missed myself:
1. New addresses get added to the bottom of the list initially (i.e. you may need to scroll the list box down).
2. After applying, I've seen the list order change -- so the Mac may move to somewhere in the middle of the list
3. Attempting to add an address twice doesn't work (i.e. make sure it's not already in the list).
Sounds silly, but I've done each of these myself at one time or another and kicked myself when I finally realized it.
Hope one of those works for you.

  • Can't add new MAC address to MAC ACL on Airport Express

    Hi,
    I just recently got a new iPhone 3GS. When I logged into my Airport Express to add it's MAC address to the ACL I found that the + icon was greyed out. I can modify old MAC addresses in the list and delete addresses, but I can't add new ones. Anyone have any idea why this might be the case. It seems like I can modify all other settings without any problems. I restarted the basestation, no help. I also even reset the password just incase, as you might expect that didn't help either. Any thoughts? Thanks.
    Setup:
    WDS with 2 other access points
    Mac Address Access Control set to "Local"

    If you are configuring the router as MGCP, you do not enter the mac address, just the router name.

  • Issue with HP 4225 officejet , Not accepting New Print Cartridge

    dear Sir,
    My HP officejet 4225 all in one is not accepting the New cartridge ( black 27b). From last few days i am experincing horrible things in printer which i m not able to understand, like from two three days it takes 15 minutes to print one page.
    it starts printing ,prints one line and stop, wait for 1 min again prints few lines again become silent.in this way it takes 10 mins to print one normal page.
    Yesterday it starts displaying error message "Remove and check right cartridge".I checked it ,cleaned the surface of black catridge (27b)but nothing happen.i installed an old empty catrdige (27b) it started working again. i replaced it with the existing cartridge it displays the same message.
    Today I bought a new cartridge ( 27b) after instaaling it again display the same error message. I replaced with another very old cartridge (27) it again works ,it just displays black cartridge Empty.
    now i m surprised a running printer suddenly not accepting the installed cartridge. accepting the old cartridges not accepting new cartridge.
    one more thing the speed of printing has become normal after this incidence. I did a facory reset two days ago to check wether speed of printing improves or not? but it didnot improved however with the issue of cartridges ,when using old crtrdige (27b, 27) using only colour printout the printing speed is ok. i,e it does not start and stop.
    pls help with this issue . i m totally stuck.
    Thanking you,
    Rahul Vijay

    Oh, I don't think you are stuck with USB.  From your post above:
    When I select network, I get three options:
    View Network settings
    Restore Network Defaults
    Advanced
    With the Ethernet unplugged, select the middle one.  Then reset your router by removing its power for a few seconds, then plug back in.  Turn the printer off then back on.
    Finally, plug in the Ethernet cable.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Time Machine stopped working with new Mac address.

    Greetings,
    I have an IOMEGA 500, FireWire which I used to use for Time Machine. I now have a new Mac address and do not have access to the old Mac address. Is there any way that I can get the IOMEGA to start working with Time Machine? If so please give me step by steps instructions on how to make this external hard drive work again with Time Machine.
    Any help is most appreciated.
    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    Do you have a new Mac, or a new logic board? Either will get you a new MAC (Media Access Control) address, which Time Machine interprets as a different Mac.
    Do you mean you haven't started doing backups of the new Mac, and want to view the old ones? If so, see #E2 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
    If you want to use the old backups to set up a new Mac, see [Setting up a new Mac from an old one or its backups|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Setup.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    When you do your first backup, OSX should ask how you want to handle the old backups. See #B5 in Troubleshooting for details.
    If that's not what you mean, please explain exactly what's going on, and what happens when you try to do whatever you're doing.

    iCloud now insisting on previous Apple id. Cannot log in.
    Will not accept new id and emails old id – a closed email account – with info.  How do I fix?

    If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.  Then you can go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your ID back to the way it was.

    On windows XP or linux have a MAC adress Change function  allow 00 mac adress and another normal mac adress range.On windows 8.1 all Mac changer program dont work.This 2,6,A,E on second adress are not vaild Mac adress. You simply can not use normal MAC
    addresses on windows 8.1.When i connect the usb the Pc windows 8.1 recognizes the adapter but the default  driver and the downloaded ralink driver the same problem.On windows xp the current driver works perfectly have (Local Mac Network Adress) funktion
    and works with the 802.11b hot spot.I got the internet my PC and laptop too public HotSpots and another wifi HotSpots if wont work correctly i can not use neither the windows 7,8,8.1 or 10. Many users have expressed interest in the problem more forums.
    The 3. problem im tested in virtualbox the windows 7 and 8.1 on 8.1 (on the blue wifi platform) not show correctly the signal strengh. On windows 7 show this correctly.The windows 7-8.1 Configure/advanced the advanced options on Ralink 3070 the default (windows
    driver) somehow downgraded function is less than for Xp. Configure/advanced the advanced options (needs to be upgraded in the future) because it does not advance but rather regressed.
    Today it is very common these wi-fi technology increasingly used (hotels,Public Hots Spots,Internet coffe,) growing free bublic wifi projects. The wifi funktions on windows  need debugging and modernize.The quality of Wi-Fi is now the operating system
    is now a thing order which is not good then the operating system is unusable.

    Hi,
    For changing the MAC address for Windows 7 is designed with some limitation, we cannot get over it. Thanks for your understanding.
    Under Windows 7, the possible range of spoofed addresses for wireless adapters that can be set is limited.  To be used by Windows 7, a spoofed MAC address should have 0 as a least significant bit (unicast) and 1 as a second least significant
    bit (locally administered) in the second nibble.  Thus possible values for the second nibble are limited to 2, 6, A and E.
    In other words 
    MAC address:  “XY-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX” “X” can be anything hexadecimal.  The hexadecimal “Y”, written in binary format, is  Y:  “kmnp”,  where “p” is the least significant bit; 
    p=0 --> unicast;
    p=1 --> multicast;
    n=0 --> globally assigned MAC;
    n=1 --> locally administered;
    So, actually MAC can be changed  to any combination in which p=0 and n=1;
    “Y” can be 2, 6, A or E.
    So the possible MAC addresses in Windows 7 for wireless adapters:
    X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
    For the wifi hotspot issue, please check this blog to see if it can be helpful.

  • JES Messaging Server 6.0 will not accept mail alternate address

    JES Messaging Server 6.0 will not accept mail alternate address
    I have installed the Sun ONE Messaging server 6.0 as part of an evaluation of the Java Enterprise System. This was installed along with Directory Server 5.2 and Identity Server 6.1. During the installation I created a top level organization (o=internet) knowing that I would want to create multiple email domains within it and a default domain. After the installation was complete I used the User Management Utility (/opt/SUNWcomm/bin/commadmin) to create some users within the default domain. I provided each user with a primary email address ([email protected]) and an alternate email address (mailAleternateAddress = [email protected]).
    In testing the system I find that the Messaging Server will not accept messages sent to the alternate email address whether sent from the same server (via Messenger Express) or from an external server. It returns the error message: 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias.
    In attempting to trouble shoot this problem I have watched the Directory Server's access log when such an email is sent. It shows a query using [email protected] even though the email message was sent to [email protected] In any event the DS finds the user, but the Messaging server rejects the message.
    [date_time] conn=120 op=11 msgId=12 - SRCH base="o=domain.com,o=internet" scope=2 filter="(mail=[email protected])" attrs="preferredLanguage mail mailEq
    uivalentAddress"
    [date_time] conn=120 op=11 msgId=12 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=1 etime=0
    [date_time] conn=120 op=12 msgId=13 - SRCH base="o=internet" scope=2 filter="(&(objectClass=sunManagedOrganization)(|(associatedDomain=host.domain.com)(sunPreferredDomain=host.domain.com)))" attrs=ALL
    [date_time] conn=120 op=12 msgId=13 - RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=0 etime=0
    Any suggestions to eliminate this problem would be appreciated.

    Both the primary and alternate email addresses are the same as the domain of the user.
    Here is what I want to do. Email is sent to a primary email server (not this machine). Mail for some users stays on that server to be read and mail for other users is moved to a geographically separate server (the one in question) by specifying that the mail be forwarded to the specific host: [email protected] > [email protected]
    On this second server I want to host two (or more) independent email domains. I do not want one of the domains to be a subdomain of the other. So during the installation I used o=internet as the root suffix and then used a different default domain (representing one of the registered internet domains). After installation I used the commadmin tool to create a second domain so now I have what looks something like this:
    o=internet,
    __ou=People
    __ou=Groups
    __o=domain1
    ____ou=People
    ____ou=Groups
    __o=domain2
    ____ou=People
    ____ou=Groups
    I then created some users under domain1 and some under domain2 so one user's dn is:
    uid=user, ou=people, o= domain1.com, o=internet.
    Mail sent locally to user@ domain1.com gets delivered correctly, but sending to [email protected] does not.
    host2.domain1.com is the fully qualified domain name of the server.

    Where are you trying to get Flash Player from? Downloading is different from installing but many malicious websites offer to supply Flash Player as a means of installing malicious software and gathering personal information (e.g., passwords). You should get Adobe Flash only from Adobe and this link lets you download the full installer (Mac OS X (Intel) DMG) and run it locally. At that point OS X will ask for your password and if you've been using it successfully for other purposes (e.g., changing some items in System Preferences), it should work there too. Note that once Flash Player is installed, a Preference panel is installed too, and in it you can authorize Adobe to update Flash automatically.

  • My router doesn't accept my MAC address

    Hi.
    I'm trying to set static IPs on my router (Netgear DGN 2000). I go to the "Connected devices" panel, and among them I can see my iMac. Its MAC address is odd ( like c4:2c:xx:xx:xx:xx). As I try to set a static IP, I get an error saying "Invalid MAC address". My other non-Apple devices all have MAC addresses starting with 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx and I can assign a static IP to them. Ihave the same problem with my MacBook.
    Is there something wrong with the iMac? Or the router? Or both ?

    I'm glad to hear that, Thanks
    But I checked and there is no update for my router... Maybe I'll write to Netgear support, I would rather not buy a new router just to fix this problem!
