Another subnet problem

Im learning subnetting at the moment and I want to work out my work LAN network structure.
Ill try and keep this simple; one of the ip address's is 19.194.254.75/23. This works out, using the Boolean And method, that the network number is 19.194.254.0, which sounds correct. But using methods that ive used to work out the number of hosts per subnet on other scenarios worked ok.
I worked it out that there are 510 hosts allowed per subnet with 128 subnets, is this correct?
Using the Subnet No. of 19.194.254.0/23 is the below specifications correct?
Subnet ID's supported
19.194.0.0
19.194.2.0
19.194.4.0
19.194.6.0
Last subnet 19.194.252.0
Valid hosts per subnet
19.194.2.1 - 19.194.3.254
19.194.4.1 - 19.194.5.254
19.194.6.1.- 19.194.7.254
Last valid host
19.194.252.1 - 19.194.255.254
If I have gone wrong how would you work this problem out?
Thanks to all that reply.

While there is sometimes utility in using subnet calculators such as suggested by hieu, I believe that there is much value in learning how to work these out for yourself logically (which is how I learned it). It looks to me like your statements are correct and that you are on the way to having a good understanding of how subnetting works.
Good luck.

YAPP (Yet Another Printing Problem)

I've found another printing problem - this time with colour printing.
To my
surprise, Forte (3.0.E.0) can print in colour (at least on a HP 690C,
using
NT drivers for the 660C, the printer being connected to a Win95
machine).
I can print OK with from my NT develpoment machine in colour, but when
running
the same app from the Win95 client with the printer attached locally the
coloured text disappears. Has anyone else come across this problem?
Is this another of the 'Printing works fine as long as it happens
non-locally?'
features?
Thanks

I wonder if this is related to the printing feature I discovered
where things I print from Forte have a strong tendency to come out in
the same colours as my windows desktop, which is
typically yellow-on-black.

We are not able to reach from 172.22.20.x ips 172.27.99.x.
It seems so that the phase2 for this subnet is missing…...... as long as we try to reach from 172.27.99.x any ip in 172.22.20.x.
We are using similar configuration on many sites and it works correctly expect sites with DSL line.
We can exclude problem with NAT,ACL or routing. The connection is working fine as long as “we open all phase 2 manually” . After re-open (idle timeout) the tunnel the problem comes back.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards.

Hi,

When you define the peer with static tunnel-group entry ASA is looking for peer configuration in static crypto map. If the peer is behind static NAT configure a proper static crypto map with matching acl and proposals.
If the peer is behind dynamic nat refer this example :http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/security/pix-500-series-security-appliances/81883-ipsec-iosrtr-dyn-pix-nat.html

Can't print across firewall to another subnet (server between two NICs)

I'm having a problem printing to an AirportExpress-served printer. Our network looks like this:
(From Outside...>>>...to Inside)
(Public IP) DSL Modem
...(10.0.0.x) Airport Express -- HP DesignJet 100 USB -- Airtunes/stereo
...(10.0.0.x) NetGear Wireless Router
...(10.0.0.x nic 0) Mac OS X Server (192.168.0.x nic1)
......(192.168.0.x) Mac OS X client
......(192.168.0.x) Mac OS X client
......(192.168.0.x) Mac OS X client
The printer driver does not appear to be able to do IP printing, it assumes a direct USB connection. We can setup the OS X Server with the printer served by the Airport Express, as it is found via Bonjour, and then we share its queue via Server Admin. The problem is that the LAN clients cannot print to this server queue. The printer gets stopped at the server.
If we turn OFF the OS X Server's firewall, printing works from both the clients and obviously from the Server. I think my question is this: what ports or services need to be turned on in order for the clients to print? There is no clear checkbox for "Bonjour Printer Sharing", and I'm curious what ports this would open, and if it would be safe. I thought it would work because we're pushing the print job up through the firewall, but apparently some response needs to come back through the firewall, and that's what's not happening.
And to tack onto this, how could we also push iTunes to the Airport Express from the Clients? Assuming the music goes over different ports than the print jobs. ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

I've only been able to get it to work with my wife's HP laptop. So far, GIMP priting with the Mac is a no-go. It spools, but the printer just sits there.
As of now, I'm trying to print from my wife's desktop, which is an older model eMachines 1.1Ghz with XP Professional. Right now, it's just sitting there with a "Printing" window.
I have called Linksys, but to no avail. Couldn't understand they guy was speaking with. According to a networking friend of mine, there must be a PC host machine which is on all the time which acts as a "bridge" to get the files to the printserver. I don't know about that, but my father-in-law uses a PSUS4 to print wirelessly from 2 PC laptos with no problems.
Gonna try calling Linksys back and see if I get anywhere with that. If not, we'll try another route.
I'll post with what I find out.

}in another class A (the main class where i run everything) i created a new instance of dice and added it onto a JPanel.Also a JButton is created called roll, which i added a actionListener.........rollButton.addActionListener(B); (B is instance of class B)
In Class B in implements actionlistener and when the roll button is clicked it should call "roll()" from Dice class
Dice d = new Dice();
d.roll();
it works but it does not repaint the graphics for the dice? the roll method will get a random number but then it will call the method to repaint()???

Excel Readpage Save as another file problem

Hi,
I have attached the VI needed If you have any problems please let me know. This VI reads a excel page the user points to and displays the results. I have added a single cell where you can change the position of a single cell coordinates so that you can point to a single cell of your choice and retrieve that data. So my problem is now I want to save that data from that single cell to ANOTHER excel file. However, this is not working correctly for some reason I do not know why I believe I have done everything correctly hopfully it is just my inexperiance. I will continue to work on this and update it as I get more time but at the current moment I have hit a brick wall. I have visited the EXCEL BOARD and the vi is from there but I had to add somethings to it in order for it to work correctly as before it wouldn't even run because it was missing some connections and nodes.

I took a look at the toolkits. The VIs are there, the problem is that
the linkages are a bit screwed up so the top-level VIs think the subVIs
are in different places. Also, the toolkits were written using an
older version of Excel, in which the "Range" object had the property of
"Value". Excel 2003 uses "Value2". So, if you have Excel 2003 even
after you load up the VI the "Value" property nodes need to be changed
to "Value2". This is not a fault of the toolkits - this is due to
Microsoft changing the ActiveX interface.
As to your issue: Your basic steps are to:
Create a new workbook
Write values to cells
Save workbook
The "Write Table to XL" that ships with LabVIEW does that. Launch the Example Finder (Help -> Find Examples) and search for "excel". Then, open the "Write Table to XL". The "Table" control is the data that you want to write. It can be a single cell or multiple cells. If you have a single value, just make a 2D array out of it. As it's written it will prompt you if you want to save the file. This is from the "Close" method. You can wire a True constant to the "SaveChanges" parameter and a path to the "Filename" parameter.

Another crash problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 4

another crash question! burned a dvd of project, saw something i needed to change as i watched the dvd, tried to get back into project, but crashed time and time again. have tried any and all suggestions in the forum for other crash problems, but cannot fix. can anyone help? below is error message and my equipment. using Windows Vista. I want to go back to Windows XP, never had a problem. thanks to anyone who has an idea.

I'm not sure what's up at this point, if doing a Save As and deleting your render files doesn't fix your glitch (and assuming you've got adequate, freshly defragmented room on your drives for the program to work).
You can also try working through Adobe's troubleshooting steps:

Renaming the presets folder can help. (The program will automatically make a new one when you next launch it):

hi everybody,
since yesterday i'm a proud owner (more or less) of a zen x-fi. the only thing that dri'ves me crazy is that i can't get it working with windows.
first of all the system config:
Desktop PC (P4 on 95P Express chipset)
Windows XP Pro SP3
Media Player
i searched the web and am trying to solve this problem: "there was a problem installing ..." for quite a long time now.
here's what i did up until now:
- deinstalling Media Player and installing v0 - couldn't deinstall v
- installing newest version of the WMP (v - 5th Oct. 2008) from Microsoft to get the newest MTP support
- deinstalling the "Creative Centrale" and reinstalling it (at the moments it's uninstalled)
- installing Microsoft User Driver Framework v.0 (wouldn't allow me - of course, because it's implemented with WMP or rather it's drivers are older)
- setting USB ENUM to "read" and "full control"
- deinstalling and reinstalling the USB drivers (motherboard support as well as chipset vendor newest drivers)
- checking every single USB port (front and back)
- settings for USB HUBs to "full power supply" (no Power Management)
- reinstalled SP3
- got all new Updates from Windows (critical updates) including all up to date .Net Framework versions
- tried the Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit (quite sure that this doesn't do anything since it seems to be the sdk version and i know to little of programming to try something out)?
- downloaded the fixup (found it in different posts to have been a workaround) and there was a little success: i got a working driver (no "there was a problem installing ...") until i realized that it doesn't show anything inside the folder (mtp/portable device) neither does it say "zen x-fi" in the device manager (it's only called "mtp device"). checked the .inf in the fixup package and realized that it couldn't work as long as i don't know the x-fi's Product ID, which i searched for on the internet (linux forums etc.) but the x-fi seems to be too new
now: i of course tried it on another PC to be sure (Laptop with Windows XP Pro SP3 and WMP 0!) - and it works ...
downside is: my library is fairly big and would fit on the Laptop's harddri've. i found a little workaround and imported the folder into the laptop's winamp library (via Network) and got some songs onto the Zen but it takes a lot of time getting them through the network connection (WLAN).
as i see it there's only two chances: either the USB is not suitable (which i can't believe, since everything else that i attach is working fine and without any issues) or the problem has something to do with the Media Player's MTP.
so does anyone have another idea or would i have to wait for either Windows or Creative to come up with a solution(maybe another hotfix)?
thanks in advance
regards
al

Ive been having hell with this aswell, although i think my computer is to blame. It "should" work if i could install wmp, but i cannot because my computer needs me to install some update rollup 2 which doesnt install and i cant install sp3 either... i've been contacting microsoft but they cant sort it.. maybe my pc is just reaching its old age and cannot cope with so many new things going on.
but from what you have said i cant see why it shouldnt work with your current system.

Just another ANNOYING problem with internet

Hello everybody !
So here we go, I am another user that has problems viewing web pages. To make a long story short I would like to add that though I am not a system administrator by any means, I am an experienced user. So if I say for example "I did nothing but the program stoped working correctly" DOES realy mean that I did nothing at all (therefore it doesnt mean that I occasionaly pushed few buttons while viewing complex settings and then forgot about it).
PROBLEM : Sometimes (randomly) I am not able to view web pages. The problem may disappear suddenly, but otherwise I have to reboot computer to solve the problem (untill it happens again. And it WILL happen withing ~30min...4 hours, so several times a day)
I USE : Macbook air 2012 (i7 8gb if it does matter). MacOS 10.8.2.   Everything is up to date, I frequently check the system for updates.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED TO DO TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM :
1) I have changed the wireless channel so that nobody around uses the same one
2) I have changed router and internet provider (well I did not change them, I just use my mba at office, at home and somewhere else. Each place has its own router (d-link at work and apple airport express at home) and its own provider)
3) I have changed mtu (maximum transmission unit) to 1453 from 1500 by default (System preferences -> network -> advanced )
4) I have tried different public DNS servers
5) I did try to request DHCP once again when the problem appears
6) The last but not least - I have tried different browsers (safari, opera, firefox)
The only thing that works yet - reboot.
MY STUPID THOUGHTS ON THAT :
- This is not a router problem, because I have already tried about 4-5 different models, including D-link, Airport and Asus
- This is not an internet connection problem generaly (I am able to use skype, teamviewer etc. while the problem occurs)
- This is not a macbook problem, because if I boot Windows (via bootcamp), it seems like I do not face that problem at all
As a result : this is a MacOS problem, and I have to look for fix inside it.
SOME ADDITIONAL INFO :
It realy happens suddenly: I am browsing webpages, everything is ok. Then bum - and the next page starts to load SLOWLY. Few more pages load SLOWLY (if there are pictures, I find "?" instead of them). And then pages stop loading at some moment. If I try to refresh the page, it might help sometimes. But then, finaly, I just lose opportunity to load web pages by any means.
The problem may go away for some time, but it will return for sure. Rebooting every time is incomfortable for me, since I have a lot of stuff opened and rearranged between different spaces (desktops).
Thank you for your time in advance guys ! Hope some of you have already faced the problem and have found the solution.
Thank you for your time guys.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Another iSight Problem

iSIght will power up then after about a couple seconds will make a shutter sound and then shut off. All equipment and software up to date. My brother in law has had the same problem. In system proflier it recognizes the iSight camera. The only way to try to get to work is to unplug it and then plug it back in. Then the green light will come and then go off after a few seconds following a shutter cover sound. Any suggestions, Thanks, John
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Wow, same exact problem. Do these these things happen in waves?
In any case, my iSight is not recognized as being there, or, in the case of iChat as "in use by another application". If I unplug the camera and plug it back in the green light comes on and there's a small whirring noise then the light goes off and again, the camera is not seen by any of the applications that I normally use with iSight.
I've restarted my machine; nothing. I have not updated either my OS or QuickTime in a few weeks so that can't be the problem. It's irksome, though, to get one problem with iSight figured out (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=557615) only to run into another.

Another monitor problem, is it different?

Okay, here's the deal- last night I'm working with Final Cut, nothing unusual, and my trackpad freezes up. While I'm trying to get that working again, my monitor goes out.
It started by glitching a little bit, like when there's a storm outside and cable TV is starting to go out, and it gets progressively worse until the screen is just a bunch of horizontal lines with a refresh line making it's way up the screen every second or so. I tried restarting, and my screen came up black. It seems like everything's working all right, except for that (if i push f4 or f5 to change the volume, i can hear the beep, and everything sounds like it's starting up normally).
So, like any normal person would, I panic, do a hard shut-down, and run to another computer to figure out what the **** I did. After an hour or two of reading, resetting my PRAM, NVRAM, and PMU, nothing's changed. Still a black screen.
However, this morning I turned on my iBook, and it started up just fine. I was about 5 minutes into trying to back up my hard drive to my external when the mouse froze up, the screen went haywire, and it started all over again. this time, though, i watched it for a while, and it froze up after getting distorted, and started to turn a deep shade of purple, starting from the center of the monitor and going outward. I haven't read anything about that happening so far, so... anybody know what's going on, or what I should do?
And, just a note: The computer itself is mostly expendable, I just need to make sure I can save my data. I have a lot of irreplacable video footage I'm trying to edit into a movie.
iBook G3 (900 mhz) Mac OS X (10.4.6) ...about 2 weeks past my warranty expiration.

Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
It sounds like you may be having logic board problems. Enough dual USB G3 iBooks suffered from this problem that Apple began the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program in January of 2004. Check out the FAQ page and if the symptoms look familiar, give Apple a call. If your iBook qualifies, it's a free fix.
Since you are past the three-year time limit, try calling and asking for Customer Relations (NOT Customer Service--they can't help you) and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case. Chances are good since you carried an extended warranty that has just expired, they will be able to help you.
If you have access to another Mac with FireWire, you may be able to get the iBook to remain responsive in FireWire Target Disk Mode so you can retrieve your data by this method:
If the iBook is on, shut it down and wait 30 seconds (or longer). Pick it up in your left palm to the left of the trackpad and squeeze the case there between your palm and left thumb as you push the power button and key combination to start up in FireWire Target Disk Mode. Do not let up the pressure on the case. Continue applying this pressure as you save your data to the other Mac. If you let up and the iBook dies or freezes, you will have to start over, allowing it to rest several hours or overnight before beginning again.
Let us know how things go.

Another sound problem

Hi
I need some help getting the sound to work on logic express. I’ve tried looking through the manual but I couldn’t find my answer. I know its probably something simple I’m forgetting to do so I would be thankful if some one could help me out with fixing this.
I usually use logic express to just record guitars etc. but wanted to mess about with making hip hop / electronic tracks and that’s where my problems started. Basically I did the following and I can get no sound from my headphones when I hit the play button in the menu bar . heres what I’ve done :
Opened logic express
Clicked file
New
Compose
Electronic
Then when that opened I :
Clicked window
Then clicked loop browser from the menu
Then when that menu opened up I clicked on one of the beats in there (2-step back Flip Beat 01)
It played on my headphones no problem
I then dragged and dropped that onto my main window where it appeared on track 1 but when I pressed the play button no sound at all came from my headphones but the little slider moved.
Another thing I noticed was that the sample I dragged across had like a little blue symbol beside it with like a white sound wave going through it so I tried one of the samples that had a little green note symbol beside it and when that was dragged across it played no problem. Could somebody explian to me why I can’t get the samples with the little blue symbols to work, again I know this is probably a simple thing but it has me beat so I would be thankful for any help anyone can give.
Thanks again

The blue ones are audio files and need to be dragged on to an audio track. The green ones are contain MIDI data (which can be edited) and are associated with a particular software instrument, so they need to be dragged to a Software Instrument track (if you want to edit the MIDI or change the instrument) or will be converted to an audio file if you drag them to an audio track. So if you drag a blue (audio) loop to a software instrument track you won't hear anything.

Another headache - "problem during multiplexing/burning - buffer underun"

Hello,
After many iDVD issues, I finally got the burning process of my DVD project.. half way through it spit my DVD out and gave me these errors:
"Errors were found during the burning process:
The recording device reported the illegal request: Buffer underrun. (0x21, 0x02.)
There was a problem during multiplexing/burning."
What is this supposed to mean and how can I just burn my DVD?!
Thank you
Chris

It's been awhile since I had this error crop up, but I know 2 things that caused it for me.
1) Bad DVD media. It happened a lot when I was using some cheap, off brand DVD-R's. More expensive Sony DVD's (white) are much better and more consistent. The time wasted with bad burns from bad DVD media is not worth the time.
2) It could even be a problem with your DVD burner going bad, but not as likely. I did have one SuperDrive replaced because I started having problems even with good, recommended brands of DVD media. However, try getting some better media first. Don't buy a lot. Try out a small package of DVD-R's or buy a disc from a friend to try out a brand.
Another possibility: Lack of sufficient, free hard drive space. Here's what iDVD 6's help file states:
"When you burn a DVD, iDVD needs temporary space on your hard disk to store the encoded files for your project. To burn your iDVD project to a single-layer DVD disc, you should have 8-10 gigabytes (GB) of free disk space on your hard disk, depending on the size of your project. For double-layer discs, you need 15-20 GB of free disk space."
Apple's support forum describes "buffer underrun" in more detail at:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25750
You might also want to defragment your hard drive (with a 3rd party utiility such as TechTool Pro) so that you don't have a fragmented hard drive when burning a project.
Speed rating of the DVD media- I've seen reports that some SuperDrives work best with media rated the same as it's maximum burn speed (e.g.- 4x, 8x, etc). I would recommend trying to find media that matches your SuperDrive burn speed, or no more than twice the burn speed.
I hope this helps.
You didn't mention which version of iDVD you were using or which operating system. Sometimes other users have tips for you based on that info.

Another Ipod Problem - Purchased Music wont play

I just recently recieved my fifth repaired Ipod in a year and a halves time, and now I have another problem. I loaded all of my iTunes songs to my iPod, but all of my purchased music will not play, it just skips over them to the next song. What is going on?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Could you share this again? I have looked for answers to this issue in multiple threads and have yet to find anything that works. All the latest stuff, resync, etc. and the purchased music still won't play after some interval of time. It plays fine for a while then it just skips through the titles.
Is it a time thing or something you can set?
Thx for any insight.

Another Safari problem on my Intel Mac

I have another problem. I went to use a live customer chat on: www.trugoji.com using Safari and it wouldn't work. I do not have block pop up windows checked either. Now this works on my eMac, but not my new Intel iMac.
Both computers have the same software and Safari version 3.0.4.
What is missing from my Safari that is preventing this from working? It keeps loading but never loads. It does work on firefox though.
It seems like my old eMac works so much better than this Intel online.
Thank you,
Martha

On the first link I was able to watch a video, I only watched a minute or so but it seemed to be working fine. The second URL I was able to get to the site but I wasn't able to watch a video.
That's because the first link was a video watching site and the second one was a picture of that first link to show you what I got when I clicked on the first link.
I was hoping that no one else with Intels would be able to get the site to work either. On the Macfixit forum, an Intel user couldn't view the video either but since you also have have an Intel, then for whatever reason, it seems to work for some but not for others. (Intel iMacs)
You have the same Intel iMac as I do, but a 24" and I have a 20".
Thanks for checking that link out for me. I wish someone knew how to correct this, Apple said they couldn't help me. (I have the warrantee)
Again thanks,
Martha
