Allocating a (local/in-house) IP address and DNS entry for a cabled Ethernet printer
I have an MI424WR Fios modem/wireless router. I have a laser printer connected to it using standard CAT-5 cabling.
I have tried several times to create a persistent enough IP address so that I can configure a Windows (Windows 7 and Windows 8) printer and printer port and get it to work over time. On ever other router I've had, I was able to configure a static IP address and configure a local DNS entry for it (which meant I could just configure printer ports looking for http://colorlaser - very easy to remember)
I think I have it working, then I leave it for a few days and the IP address evaporates and the driver stops working. The MI424WR advanced menus are nearly indecipherable (compared to *every* other home router I've ever used) and I'm running out of curse words to use when trying to get this to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks

(PS: I'm very impressed that your "Spell Check" refuses to recognize "Fios")
I've solved this exact issue by configuring a static DHCP lease in the router for the printer. This way, I don't have to change any settings in the printer; which can be difficult depending on how the printer is configured.
Yes, I agree that the Actiontec router has a rather unfriendly interface. However, it is quite powerful once you figure out where everything is hidden.
Here's the process to setup a static DHCP lease for a printer (or any other device):
Make sure your printer is on and assigned an IP address.
Login to router
Click "My Network" in the top banner menu.
Click "Network Connections" in the left hand menu.
Click "Network (home/office)" in the Network Connections box.
Click "IP Address Distribution" in the Network (home/office) Properties box. Note it is hard to notice this is a link - click on the words.
Click on the "Connection List" button at the bottom of the IP Address Distribution Box.
Locate your printer in the list. The host-name may be something assigned by the router.
Click on the edit button in the Action column for the printer. The edit button is the center icon with a pencil on it.
Click the "Static Lease Type" checkbox.
Click Apply.
Click the edit button for the printer's DHCP entry AGAIN.
Now, you can set the IP address to any value within the router's DHCP range. You may also want to change the host name to something that make sense to you.
You can also try the "New Static Connection" at the bottom of the DHCP connection window, however I've not had much luck with it.
Good Luck!

Hello,
We want to change the name / IP address and domain name for BOE Server, please could you indicate the steps or procedure to follow?
I need your help
thank youIf it's 3.1 just change them, shouldn't cause any issues if by domain name you are referring to changing the domain the computer belongs to. If you are changing your domain for AD authentication then you will may have to take quite a few steps if the old domain is going away. Let us know.

Defining IP Address and DNS configration on VMWare server?
plz suggest as mentioned in subject.
We have SuSe LINUX Version ans wants to define IP Address and DNS setting.
We get some error which looks like as resulted due to IP or DNS setting.
Guys..guide me to correct forum if reqd.Using VMWare there are two issues to keep in mind.
a) Which kind of network are you using in VMWare
b) Set up the IP information in your VMWare guest (SuSe)
a) There are three network types in VMWare, host only, bridged and NAT.
Usually I use host-only for my machines as they are used for internal testing.. Bridged will connect to the real network and maybe you get an IP address from there (when DHCP is used). NAT will use you computers IP and translate it.
b) Setting the IP is easy - just use YAST and configure the IP address of your machine (either fixed or using DHCP). Setting up a DNS server yourself is out of the scope of this posting. Look on the internet for a howto to set up your DNS server. If you just need to configure a DNS server with your IP this can be done with YAST.

I cannot seem to change my email address and password on icloud. I have changed it in itunes. But On all my apple products it will not let me, I just keep getting a window popping up on all of them asking me to go to settings but when I go into setting I cannot get it to change. Help !!!
Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with your new credentials. If all you did was modify your existing ID rather than creating and entirely new ID, you can choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Your data will still be in iCloud and will download to your phone when you sign back in.

How to setup a static ip address and DNS on airport extreme using the iOS Airport Utility?
I am at a location that only has wired ethernet. The ethernet connection has a specific Static IP address, subnet, gateway, and DNS setting. I cannot seem to find how to enter DNS settings using the Apple Utility on an iPad. HELP!!!
First, I am assuming that you are trying to administer your AirPort base station for a static IP address using the iOS version of the AirPort Utility ... correct?
If so, then to do so:
Start the AirPort Utility app on the iPad
Select your base station.
Select Edit
Select Internet Connection
Select Static
Enter the appropriate IP address information
Select Done
Sorry, it does not appear that direct input for DNS IP addresses is an available option with this version of the iOS AirPort Utility app. Not sure why this was not included. -

Configure WRT54G Wireless Router with PUBLIC IP address and use DHCP for internal computers
Hi,I have an Internet online service with 5 public IP addresses. The router and the AP are connected to a switch. I would like to configure a WRT54G wireless router with one of this IP public Address and use DHCP (with private ip address) for the computers that will connect to the AP. As the AP is connected to the switch it is possible that other wired computers that are connected to the same switch can obtain an IP address from the DHCP ?
Thansk in advance
Thanks for your help. Please correct me if Im wrong. After connecte the equipments the way you suggestI setup a static IP address (The public IP) in the WRT54GI enable DHCP in the WRT54G with a range from 10.10.0.100 to 10.10.0.200 (as an example) The gateway is the Public IP address right ? How do I route the 10.10.0.x addresses to the public IP address. Thansk again

Time Capsule as DHCP Router and DNS server for larger network - too taxing?
Ok, let me say first that I'm no networking expert, but I have tried to learn a decent amount over the years. I haven't got quite gotten o the level of combing router event logs, though I intend to do that as my next step. My question here though is if my overall network strategy is flawed.
My setup at home is one that may be a bit more extensive than most users have:
Cable modem -> Time Capsule -> Multiple gigabit switches (business grade) -> Wired Cat5e throughout the house and 2 Airport Extremes. I don't know how many total wired and wireless clients I have, but it may be between 30 and 40 (only a few are computers with the rest being game systems, networked DVRs, audio streamers, NAS, etc)
At the moment, the Time Capsule only backs up one machine - a MBP (I have external HDDs connected directly to the desktops). I don't use the TC's HDD for anything else. Also, I have the network configured so that the TC handles DHCP addressing and NAT. The Airport Extremes are in bridge mode.
For the most part, everything works very well. Internet speeds are good, audio streaming works well, no problems with TC backups, etc. The only issue I've run into are dropouts when streaming video content on the network from one device to another (not form the internet). Basically, the stream will pause and then an error will pop up on screen saying that there was a network problem. Now, I know that the specific devices themselves may have issues of their own, but since it's happened on more than one system, I'm wondering if there is a common network culprit- expecting the Time Capsule to handle its duties especially while it is doing a backup.
Here are a few thoughts I have:
1 - From a technical standpoint, I don't know if all client to client network traffic goes through the TC. I was thinking that communication could happen between devices on the same switch without having to go up to the TC and then back down, but maybe I'm wrong. If I am wrong, that certainly is a bottleneck right there. I'm not segregating the video streamers to their own subnet on a new router to isolate the traffic. I'm also not sure if the bottleneck is impacted by static vs dynamic IP addressing. IOW, I don't know if setting the devices up with static IPs would change the flow of traffic to not have to go through the TC (just flow across the switch) or not.
2 - Long ago in a different network setup, I had allowed the wireless access points to assign IPs. However, I found that doing so sometimes created problems accessing some of those devices from a computer or device on a different subnet. As such, I switched over to having the router connected to the modem do all the IP addressing. Maybe this is a bad idea given the temporary nature that some devices will hop on and off the network.
3 - Additionally, in the interests of getting better wireless coverage over the whole house, I switched to using 2 airport extremes configured to use the same SSID (so that devices moving around the house wouldn't need to specifically change networks in order to get better signal). I guess I could let one of those 2 handle IP addressing while the other is in bridge mode (pointing to the primary Extreme vs the TC).
4 - Kind of getting back to the TC as the bottleneck, maybe it shouldn't handle network wide DHCP and NAT duties. If TC backups take network priority, such that other kinds of traffic could hiccup, then I probably need to rethink where the TC should exist in the network. Or, maybe it would be enough to just have the stream sensitive components be on their own subnet.
I know there are potentially multiple flaws in my current strategy, so any suggestions or attempts at correcting my assumptions would be helpful.
Thanks!
Jeff

1 - Everything goes through the router when it is setup to handle DHCP and NAT
2 - You want your main router, the TC, to handle all DHCP and NAT functions. It will handle up to 250+ connections, so 30-40 devices won't be much of a challenge
3 - Keep both AirPort Extremes in bridge mode to allow the TC to handle the things in #2 above. If you setup an Airport Extreme to give out IP addresses, you'll create a Double NAT issue on your network...which can slow down communications between devices...the thing you are trying to avoid. If you use Xbox live or other interactive services, the online features will not function with a Double NAT on your network.
4 - You want the TC to handle all DHCP and NAT functions as in #2. I assume that you have no single run of CAT5e more than 300 feet.
5 - If you want to create separate sub nets correctly (the AirPorts won't allow you to do this as they are designed for basic home networking), you'll need to look at routers for professional and commercial use, like Cisco.
With as many devices as you have, you may be running out of bandwidth at times. If you only notice the issue during Time Machine backups, and you don't need to backup each hour, take a look at Time Machine Editor to setup backups whenever you like, maybe once a day at 2 AM when things on the network are quiet.
My suggestions are of course opinions. Hopefully you'll receive some other possibly differing views. -

I would post what I have tried so far but I have been trying many different types of queries over the last few days. In short I need the employees first and last reads for each date. They could have many entries per date or just 1. I am certain that this
is a trivial thing for a SQL expert but not trivial for me :).
Thank you in advance!Thank you!
This is almost what I need. The LocationGUID has to be included in the output. When I include it, I have to put it in the Group By clause. When I do that the reads are based on the LocationGUID (see below).
** I added a few more data entries and included the LocationGUID in the output.

Missing SMTP address and SELF AUTHORITY for a few mail boxes
Hello Everyone,
This is Jay. I am seeing a strange thing in exchange 2010. Primary SMTP addresses are missing from the User mailboxes.
Below is the required information.
* We are creating user mailboxes through CA Identity Manager tool.
It happens randomly for a few mailboxes sometimes.
I have checked the logs on exchange server but NOTHING FOUND related.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Jay.Sometimes when a 3rd party solution is used to create a user and its associated mailbox, all of the processes are not run. In those scenarios, it is common to setup reporting to identify if there are any mail-enabled objects that are not properly configured
or if processing has not completed.
I agree that the Automatically update...checkbox should be checked for most configurations. If it is not, that might explain why there is no primary reply address listed.
