Add new network to Cisco1242 AP
I am trying to setup another network on a AP that has already has a company and guest network set up. The new network will not be able to reach anything on our side. We have setup and configured a new 1921 Router to give this branch Internet access. The new router 1921 , Cisco2900 XL switch and AP are next to each other in the new branch. ISP Router > 1921 Router > 2900XlL Switch > AP/PatchPanel
The AP is crrently connected in to the switch.
I already have a VLAN set up on the switch FA0/30 for regular internet access for the new branch. Do I have to set up another VLAN on the switch to isolate the new network on the AP? How would this work though with other wifi networks already operating on the AP and internet access for hard wired PCs.
Thank you Scott...This is where I'm at right now. The AP has been setup with the VLAN we configured on our switch. We have dedicated about 20 ports towards this VLAN - the AP is directed to one of the switch ports.
I can connect to the wireless AP (enter in SSID & Passphrase)but get no internet access, ipconfig shows no ip address.However, I can successfully ping the IP address of the AP. Do I still need to have the VLAN assigned in the AP Web interface while connected to a dedicated port on that VLAN?
If I'm not getting an IP address is has to be something to do the DHCP pool on the router?
ANy suggestions/thoughts would be helpful!

How to add new network adapter to existing hyper-v server
hello guys
now we have win2k8 r2 with installed hyper-v role.
we had a network adapter with 4 ports and these 4 NICs was installed before adding hyper-v role so we select the these 4 NICs when installing the hyper-v role as usual.
after that, we add other new network adapter with 4 NICs.
the problem that we can't see the new 4 NICs in hyper-v manager to create external connection.
any suggestions ??Hi eng.magdy87,
Please ensure that the new NIC works properly .
I mean that you can try to set IP for that NIC to check if it works .
By the way , I added a new NIC for my hyper-v host (2008R2 ) and I can select it in virtual machine manager .

Xennet error, when tried to add new network card
Hi,
I got an error when I tried to create new virtual network thru VM manager,
I have add a new virtual network card thru VM manager in the same Xen bridge "xenbr0" , then i reboot the virtual machine, but when i tried to activate this network I got the below error:
cannot activate network device
xennet device eth1 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
ifconfig in the virtual machine:

which is basically Windows 8.1. Make a selection profile explicitly for your WinPE drivers to inject. Only include the drivers you want in the WinPE image. And match the architecture of the network and storage drivers (Windows 8.1 versions).

I have a device that shows up in my airplay device list in iTunes, and on my iPhone that does not exist. How do I delete it? I have OS X 10.10.1 on my iMac, and iOS 8.1.2 on my iPhone 5. I would like to get it out before I add new airplay devices to my network.
I called Apple tech support. The device turns out to be a WiFi extender. I never would have guessed that the extender would show up on the list since I wouldn't think of it as an airplay device, and in the list, it shows a little speaker icon. In the process of talking with Apple, I gained a greater understanding of how airplay works.
It turns out that there is no stored list of devices in a file on the mac, or anywhere else. I have seen a lot of traffic on the web from people trying to modify this list, but there isn't one. iTunes, and other devices simply poll the network for airplay devices from time to time.
Have a very happy holiday!
I would like to get rid of "just give me the aster, and stop wasting my time", and replace it with my name. The Apple tech support guy never saw that before. Just my luck. -
Add new known wireless network via Client Management - Possible?
Is it possible to add a known wireless network via Client Management and if the answer is yes, how can you do it?
Other ways to add a known wireless network to a bunch of clients?
Thanks a lot!
Best wishesHello again,
I've tried something else.
1. Adding the network to our image master (via System Preferences)
2. Copying:
/Library/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
/Library/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
from our master to every client which shall be able to use the new network.
That seems to work because the network is shown up in System Preferences -> Network -> Options -> Airport -> Preferred networks.
Unfortunately this solution has unpleasant side effects. For example the computer name is changed back to the computer name of the master, because the computer name is stored in the preferences.plist file, too.
Any ideas to get the same conclusion without those side effects?
Thanks a lot!
Best wishes -
I have working Netgear N600 dual band router network. The existing network has an XP netbook PC, canon printer, 2 Iphones, Epson Air printer, an Ipad, 3 roku boxes, backup drive. Just bought a new Apple TV box, and time capsule 2T. I have an IMac on order but don't have it here yet.
My goal is to add new Time Capsule and create 2nd "apple" network for new apple TV, Iphones, Ipad, Epson Air printer and new Imac, and keep the netgear network for my PC, Roku TV boxes, and Canon printer and backup drive.
The Netgear router, the time capsule and new IMac will be on the same desktop, I dont need to backup my netbook PC to time capsule.
Where do I start?
Which device connects to my modem first, the TC2 or the Netgear?
Is it best wait for the Imac before starting or can the TC2 be set up from my Ipad or PC?
Thanks.It is pretty simple..
Setup the TC in bridge and plug it into the Netgear.. I would leave the netgear as the main router for now, although in the future you can swap things around. The netgear firmware may have issues with bonjour and airplay/airprint?? Does your ipad print ok now?
You can setup the TC using Mac, PC (at least up to win7) or iOS.. they all have airport utility available.
Bridge mode is set differently depending on the version of the utility. This is v5 and how the windows one will look (at least similar to).
v6 will be as
With the TC in bridge you will still create a wireless network.. and give it a different name from the netgear.. then all the apple devices can connect to it. Use ethernet rather than wireless if the imac is on the desktop with it. Much faster and better for using Time Machine backups.
If you run into any issues.. just post the particular issue. It will take a bit of getting used to, but isn't hard. -
How to add a new network interface adapter?
Hello,
I followed this tutorial (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/ovm/ovmel5pvmdb11gr1/ovmel5pvmdb11gr1.htm) to set up a paravirtualized Oracle Enterprise Linux Version 5 VM on Oracle VM Server. It works fine, however I wish to add another network interface adapter (or NIC) to it, however when I try to import into Oracle VM Manager I get the following error:
"OVM-5004 Invalid virtual machine config file. -"
I don't know where the vm config file is so I can't fix that (I did a search for vm.cfg but couldn't find it). I figured since I could access the machine OK I wouldn't worry about importing it into VM Manager, so my question is, is there a way to set up the Network Interface Adapter through the command line on the VM Server (similar to how it was setup)? Or should I try and fix the "invalid virtual machine config file" error so I can import it into VM Manager and then add the extra Network Interface Adapter?
Thanks in advance,

The vm.cfg file would be found in /OVS/running_pool/<vm_name>/ -- the default vm.cfg that ships with the template should successfully import into Oracle VM Manager. Once you have the image imported, you can use Oracle VM Manager to add an additional NIC to the VM. -
I want to set up my time capsule on a completely new network & location without losing the old backups. How do I do this? I cannot find anything in the user manual.
The TC is very hard to just move.. it retains too much of the old network setup.. buried deep in the bowels of the firmware configuration files.. or even on the hard disk special partitions used by the TC.. invisible to you btw.. !!
Do a factory reset and setup from scratch.
That factory reset will have no affect on your backups.. even if you rename the TC.. not a bad things since you also want clients to respond to the new network.. simply reset TM to the new TC name and location.
See A4 here.
http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Factory reset.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Factory reset Gen 5
Hold in reset for about 5sec until the status light flashes quickly.
If your AirPort Time Capsule still doesn’t respond, do a similar reset to the Gen1-4.
Unplug your AirPort Time Capsule .. hold in reset and power the TC back on.. without releasing the reset.. wait until status led flashes rapidly. -
Configuring the HP PSC 2510 on a new network
I'm posting at the end of a long weekend setting up my psc 2510 on a new wireless network. I'm pretty much done, and I'm posting to share what I've learned with others in the hope of saving them trouble. I'm beyond my warranty period, so my advice is based on a few hints from phone tech support and a lot of work by trial and error.
I have four machines total, two of them running OS X 10.4, the others running 10.3.9.
1. Start by hooking the printer up to a wired (ethernet) network. Print out a network config page (setup, 6, 1) when the printer shows its blue "networked" light. Dial the printer's URL into your web browser and enter the new network's info into the printer's embedded web server. If you get everything right, when you turn off the printer, disconnect the ethernet cable, and turn on the printer, you'll get that blue "networked" light after a minute or so.
If you don't see the light, print out another config page and check the "Wireless Status": "Scanning" means that the printer's having trouble connecting to the network. Your best bet is to temporarily turn off all wireless encryption/security and reconfigure the printer's connection. Once you have a connection, then try adding various sorts of security/encryption. In my experience, the printer doesn't do well if the SSID of the network isn't being broadcast or with a list of acceptable MAC addresses. In my old network I managed to get the printer running with WPA security, but this time I had to settle for WEP 128 bit security.
The Wireless Status will read "Disabled" if the printer has a USB cable or Ethernet cable attached. This means you need to unplug all cables (and possibly turn the printer off and on) to enable the wireless card. If the Wireless Status is "Disabled" even though you have no cables attached, you have probably reset the printer to factory defaults (see #2 below).
Things to watch for: is the default gateway of the printer the same as that of your new network? I had to change my new network's gateway to "192.168.1.1 addressing" from "10.0.1.1 addressing" because the printer was expecting "192 etc." after being hooked up to a Linksys router for several years.
Also, you may find you need to give the printer a self-assigned (manual) IP address, if other computers, once linked to the printer, lose printing and/or scanning capabilities a few days or weeks later. This can be set in the printer's web access server, but make sure to assign the printer an IP address that's compatible with the range of IPs that your router's is leasing to the network. I'm a novice at this network stuff, so sorry if I'm being vauge on this point.
2. It's possible I could have saved myself a lot of trouble setting up the printer for the network if I had reset the printer's network settings to factory defaults right at the start. But if you decide to follow HP's instructions and reset network settings to factory defaults, BEWARE: the printer's embedded web server can't for some reason configure the printer to re-enable wireless networking. And the latest download of the hp all-in-one installer doesn't contain the network config utility found on the original HP installation CD. (On this old CD, the config utility isn't part of the install package, but it is invoked automatically during the installation process.)
SOLUTION: Run the PSC 2500 Series installer found on the HP CD, preferably from a Mac running an system older than Tiger. It might also be possible to avoid running the installer and just run the config utility.
From this point on, I'll assume you've managed to get the printer on your network. Here's how to get all your computers configured to use the psc's printer and scanner functions.
HP tech support advised me to download the latest installer/print driver and use that to install and configure the psc 2150. This is good advice, insofar as the old HP Director software has a memory leak and the old HP Scan was prone to crashing whenever the 2510 went into Energy Saving mode. But if your mac isn't running OX X 10.4 (Tiger), you'll find that your system doesn't seem to recognize the new print drivers installed with by the download. This is especially a problem if you follow HP tech support's advice and delete a bunch of files prior to upgrading from the old installer to the new one, as (I suspect) it was at this point that I deleted working printer drivers from my Macs running Mac OS 10.3.9.
So if you're running 10.3.9 or earlier, I advise you not to delete any files and to configure your computer for the print and scanner functions in the opposite order that HP advises.
Most important: through trial and error I discovered that the HP Setup application isn't able to configure the printer if more than one user is logged in (Fast User Switching!). (This is a particularly tricky error to diagnose as the only symptom is that the setup app keeps claiming that it "can't find device" even though in the stage just prior it had successfully detected it!) Log out all other users, then proceed with the following steps:
1. Go to Print Center (called Print Setup Utility in Tiger), delete your old psc printer (if any) and click "add printer". The psc should show up in HP IP printing or under Rendezvous (called Bonjour in Tiger), and when you click on it, the Add Printer utilty should automatically find the "HP All-in-one" printer driver. If something's gone wrong, though, you may get the message "Print Driver not installed". That's what happened to me after I deleted files (see above).
SOLUTION: Run the PSC 2500 Series installer found on your original HP CD. When it finishes, it will start the HP setup assistant, in the course of which you'll be directed to go to the Print Center and add your printer. Do so.
2. Once you've added the printer successfully, run the latest HP installer, a download from the HP website. You should be able to skip the step where it asks you to add the printer, as you did this in step one.
3. Finally, since you didn't delete any files earlier, be sure to remove HP Director from your dock and from your Startup items (Login items in Tiger) by opening Mac System Prefs - Accounts - Startup/Login Items. HP Director has a memory leak. And it is superceded by the newer HP Device Manager when you download and run the latest HP installer. You should find the new HP Device Manager in your dock after step 2 (above).

Powerbook 17" Mac OS X (10.4.3) Airport Express base stationHello dgt228, welcome.
I am not sure why you are choosing EAP. If you have set your router to use WPA, you should just set your printer to enable WPA. Is your wireless light illuminated on the front of your printer? Run a Wireless Network Test from the front of the printer to self-test the radio. If you can connect this printer with Ethernet to your router its connection will be more secure and more reliable. -
OfficeJet Pro 8000 Wireless - Problem Setting Up to a new network
I have followed the other advice of other posts. I have tried holding the wireless button & hitting resume button 3 times. It still prints the same thing. It is still looking for the old network(Network not found) and won't give an IP adress. Says wireless is working. I get the MAC address, but status is disconnected. It doesn't seem to want to reset. I am trying to add the printer to a new network. Getting piles of printouts. Please Help.
Now I have finally have the printer to hpsetup for the network. Still not able to connect.

Setting up a new network - How does this look?
Hello,
Current layout of network - http://i30.tinypic.com/fkywav.jpg
We currently use this way of setting up our network and we may be moving to a new office so i'm looking at the best way of setting up the new network while we have a relatively clean slate. All wiring is done via CAT5e ethernet.
We run OS X Server 10.5 and use the following services within the building. File sharing, email, internet. We backup all machines individually with external drives but i'm looking at getting a large storage device to enable everyone to backup to one location using Time Machine Server.
I'd like to know if the way our network is currently set up is the correct way for what we need. In the near future i'd like to start using iCal sharing, and hosting websites internally for web development.
Regards
JamesWhat you have will work; it's fairly typical network.
The physical plant, and the plans for expansion, and the current speeds and feeds are also key details when designing a network.
Cat5e? Don't skimp. Go Cat6 or better. Wiring is always around and in use for far longer than any of us want, and the cost of installation is comparatively vastly higher than the cost of the wire itself; retrofitting is to be avoided.
As part of avoiding unnecessary retrofitting, run extra Cat6 or better wiring in parallel, too. Prepare to segment your network based on business organization or on physical organization, or both. The extra runs can provide physical redundancy, and bandwidth. The incremental cost of building out with extra (spare) wire is negligible. The cost of not having a wiring run where you need it is higher.
Without knowledge of the physical plant, I'd also look at the establishment of wiring closets and such; you'll usually have a star at the core of the network in a smaller configuration, then stars at the wiring closet(s) (if any) and out at the desktop. This may be a plan now, and you have the wiring in place for the main runs to retrofit a server closet as you need it. Long wire runs out from the core are a pain. In a moderate or larger network, you'll be using the backhaul connections to the network cores; runs between server closets. (And if you may add server closets, remember the need for cooling can arise.)
Depending on your plans and your network activities, I might (also) establish higher-bandwidth wiring between the wiring closets; what amount to backhaul connections. Either used up front, or in the closets should you need to place switches further out.
Also look for corner cases, such as a business and operational environment where you'll be running a dozen or two client netboot operations at exactly 8:01 each and every morning as each staffer arrives and boots up the workstation; these cases can play havoc with aggregate bandwidth and server requirements.
You may want to consider a parallel network (whether WiFi or wired) for guest access; a conference room or conference center network. You'll almost certainly want 11G and 11N WiFi for your own internal use, too.
Yes, I usually overbuild these things. Planning and wiring are (comparatively) cheap. Installation isn't.
Backing up to a Mac OS X Server disk or a TC disk via TM is part of what you need. If you get corrupted archival volume(s) or if your RAID array is somehow damaged or lost or stolen, you're in deep sneakers. I've had a couple of TC archives corrupted; stuff happens. Plan for off-site archives. -
Music files moved to a new network drive with a new volume name
I had to replace my old network attached harddisk which held all my music ( mainly mp3 ) files. This drive was automounted and had the name "MUSICHD". My new network attached storage device ( LACIE Ethernet Disk mini 500GB ) has the volume name "SHARE" and it's not possible to change it.
I copied all the files onto the the new drive, but now I have to tell iTunes that the files are not longer on a volume called MUSICHD. Could somebody be so kind and give me an advice how to do it. Shure I could re-import all the music files, but I don't like to loose all my ratings, playlists, etc.

PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3) iPod 5Gto be precise. I don't let iTunes manage my files. All my mp3 files are on a NAS ( Network Attached Storage ) device ( it's a 300 GB Harddisk with a 1GBit network connection from Buffalow ).
If I add mp3 files to my library I first copy it to the NAS device and than drag and drop the files to the iTunes library. So iTunes only manages the links to that files. Files are not imported or copied to/with iTunes.
Now I have to replace that NAS device by another one. Due to this replacement I have to change the network volume-name of the device. This share is part of the link in the iTunes database for each file.
If you look into the xml file you'll find something like this:
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/SHARE/MUSIK/Blues/Dupree,%20Champion%20Jack/Blues%20From%20the%20Gutter/Dupree,%20Cha mpion%20Jack%20-%20Blues%20From%20the%20Gutter%20-%2001%20-%20Strollin'.mp3</str ing>
So the "simple" question is. How to tell iTunes that all my music files are now on another volume?

BUG: Access Connect Abort, when I create a new network profile.
Where can I report bugs?
My system is windows xp sp2 on X60.
I have been using AC-4.42(Access Connection) for a long time. And before, there is no problem when I added new network profile into it.
But yesterday, I wanted to add a new profile into it. I opened the "create profile" window and input the name of the new profile (I have two network adapters, wired and wireless. So by default, the both are selected. And I left the default selection unchanged.), then "Next". The 2nd window is about wireless config, I configured everything, then go on "Next", at this moment, an error occured and AC aborted with four error windows. The titles of those windows are "ACMainGUI.exe error" and "ACMainGUIWnd: ACMainGUI.exe".
Then I did it again, I opened the "create profile" window, and this time, in this (1st) window, I changed the selection of network adapter, besides inputing the name of the new profile. I only selected the wired adapter, and then "Next". Sadly, this time the 2nd(next) window did not appear(pop up) at all. Instead, those four error windows poped up one by one. AC aborted again.
I repeated the above operations many times, and everytime, AC aborted.
So I went to the online "support and download" to look for some updates about AC. And I found AC-4.52 with luck. After downloading and installing, unfortunately the problem still exists. AC-4.52 still aborts when I create a new network profile.
So now, what to do. I have no ways. I am expecting the developers could note this problem and fix it and give me a newer update as soon as possible.
Sigh...I have exactly the same issue. Next to the actions mentioned by ixbm I have also fully uninstalled and reinstalled the AC-4.52, but this didn't help.
Any idea on how to solve, installing older version?

I'm troubleshooting a problem with an existing pdf document in our office. Though I install Acrobat I do not use it on a daily- hence my asking for assistance. The computer is an Optiplex 745 running WIN XP Pro SP 2 with all updates.
The doc is a 42 page human resources document that has both scanned and original (made in Word/Acrobat) pages. Though I can edit existing fields/boxes, I cannot add new ones. I can select "add fields", click and drag seeing the crosshairs and field/box area, but when I let go, nothing happens. No new field and no erorr messages.
I've checked the security- it's wide open (no security) and layers- it has none or only one. The user who reported the problem is using Acrobat 5.x, I've tested it in 5.x, and 9 (standard and pro) on my computer with no success. I've included screenshots of the doc info below in hopes that they might provide some clues as to the problem.
Thank you for any assistance that you may provide.After discovering that the other primary user had a local copy of this form- I tried that in Acrobat 9 and it was editable. So it appears that it was the form itself.
I'm resaving the local document to the network drive (where the problem doc came from) and updating both primary users to Acrobat 9. One was using 5 the other 7. Hopefully that will prevent any further problems.
Thanks for your assistance. -
Setting/General/Add new shortcut is not working on iOS 7.1.1
I can't using shortcut anymore when I updated to iOS 7 (and the same with 7.1 and 7.1.1)
So, now, I can't add new too.
How can I solve this problem?Furthermore I have also configured the wifi connection on the iPhone manually via Static rather than DHCP (under which my ip addresses are shown wrong) and it connects and I see the green tick mark next to the wifi connection and also see the wifi icon at the top of the screen. However I am still not able to go on the internet as it says check your network connection. All the other devices in my house are working perfectly fine.
