Another TV connection question

I am turning to the intellegent community here to help me...
I am attemping to connect a mac (either a MacBook Pro or power mac G3) to a Mitsubishi WD-73831.
I am using a DVI to DVI cable
This TV has a DVI connection and through NetCommand either Digital or Analog can be specified.
When I connect the MacBook Pro gives me all the signs that the disply is working yet the display is black in Digital or Analog
Any suggestions

Within Displays preferences does the MBP indicate a second display is attached? If yes, is the TV properly identified or is there a generic descriptor like "VGA Display"? What resolutions are available as choices within Displays preferences with the TV connected? Which have you tried? Are you sure you are setting the TV to the correct input?

Yet another MBA connection question

I just purchased my MBA in July and it started off working beautifully. Just in the past month or so my internet connection has gotten a bit lousy. My Airport says I have a full connection to the internet yet pages either never load and sit in internet limbo forever or i get a "safari can't open the page - operation could not be completed' message pop up. I bought this computer for it's portability, but no matter how light and thin a computer is made, when it has no internet it is a useless brick. Is there anything i can do to fix this? I am a new mac user so if you can put it in english that would be great, most of this mac-ese is still a bit greek to me!

Do you have any other computers on your wireless network? Are they running ok? Do any of them run Torrent software? Or on your MBA?
Have you taken your MBA to another location with a different wireless router and tried it? was the connection ok from there?
I would try it from another location first - that will narrow down the issue instantly to either your MBA - or something with your home network.

Another receiver connection question

I have an Audigy 2 ZS and have connected the outputs via 3 y-cables(mini to rca)as described in numerous other posts to the 6-channel DVD inputs on a Panasonic sc-HT05 receiver. The reciever is set to accept the 6 channels. My problem is when I use the THx setup channel test, I hear the "front left" command from both front speakers, the "front center" from the front center, and "rear left" from both rear speakers and none of the other speaker prompts. To restate the obvious, I'm only getting one channel feed for each output. This is confirmed using the Surround Mixer>advanced. If I pull down the levels for those particular channels , all sound is gone, but no effect if pulling the front or rear right speaker or sub. By the way, Sub is present so long as the front center level is up. All connections have been double checked and control panel is set to 5. surround. Any suggestions as to how I can achei've true 5. would be greatly appreciated.

My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection.

My macbook air is not getting internet connection through our home wifi. It was working fine yesterday until I took the Air out of the house and used it on another wifi connection. One question is how to delete some of the networks that I don't use. Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
Thanks.

Would too many networks cause the internet connection to fail?
It shouldn't but sometimes deleting the list of networks actually does solve the problem you are describing. Have you turned WiFi off and then back on on the computer?

Switch inter-connectivity question

Good day to all. We have a small LAN with less than 10 switches total. Including all the network printers and PCs and servers there are about 70 nodes in this building. In the data room, there are (6) 24-port Catalyst switches. I am trying to determine the best way to inter-connect them. 2 of the switches are c3750x and are stacked. 2 are C3560X and cannot be stacked, and the other 2 are C2960G and cannot be stacked. Also, there is a C2960G in another building connected to one of these 6 via a 1G uplink. I wish I had gotten more of the switches with stack capability, but at the time I was not aware of the advantages of stacking.
So... The 2 C3560X switches each have a 10-G network module installed. One of the 2 3750X's (the stack master, call it Switch-A), in the stack has a 10G module as well. In a perfect world, I would take the C3560X (the one that is layer-3 with routing enabled and also the default gateway), and connect all the other switches to that one, and use both the 10-gigabit uplinks and then use 1-G uplinks for the rest. But if I use the 10-G ports, then I cannot use the other 2 1G SFP ports in the network module. So I am limited to 2 10-G uplinks per C3560 switch. I can't connect all the other switches to this one unless I used some of the standard (non-SFP) ports.
So here is the way I have it set up right now: there is a 1-G fiber uplink from another building and the fiber is FDDI so it is not possible to use a 10-G uplink between the buildings; they are too far apart for FDDI. We might run some OM3 fiber later, but for now, the 1-G uplink is the best we can do. So the 2 buildings are connected using a gigabit fiber uplink with SFP ports, and the fiber coming from the other building is connected to the C3560 that is not the default gateway. The default gateway switch, call it switch-1, is using both the 10-G uplinks and has one 10-G port connected to the master in the 2-switch stack, (one of the C3750X's, call it Switch-A). The other 10-G uplink goes to the other C3560X, call it Switch-2 (Switch-2 is the one with the fiber uplink from the other building). Switch B is the stack slave and is only connected via the stack cables. The other 2 switches are C2960G-24TC-L and one is connected to Switch-A with a 1-G copper SFP uplink, call it Switch-3, and Switch3 is connected to the other C2960G with a 1-G copper uplink. I have attached a basic diagram.
So... my question is, without spending more money, is this the best way to connect them? I could use more of a hub and spoke topology if I did not stick to SFP ports for all the up-linking. It was my understanding that the SFP ports are the best ones to use for uplinks. But due to the limitations of the network modules, I could not connect more than 2 SFP uplinks from a given switch, or 3 in some cases where only 1G uplinks were used.
If we did not mind spending a few more thousand (I would love to run OM3 between the buildings and get the speed up to 10G), so if we had another 5 to $10,000 to spend, would it be worth getting a switch full of fast SFP modules and using it to uplink all the other switches (a total of 5 counting the link from the other building and not counting Switch-B since it connects via the stack)? Everything is working well, so it might be better to leave it alone. Any helpful comments and/or suggestions are welcomed with a heaping helping of sincere appreciation!
Thanks!

What you might consider is using your dual 3750X stack as the physical core and as the L3 router. All your other switches (except the off-site switch) would have dual port channel links, one link to each 3750X. This provides core and L3 redundancy and can provide more inter switch bandwidth.
For you critical single home devices, such as your Internet and off-site switch connections, you can have a logical configuration "mirror" port ready on the second 3750X stack member, so if the member with the active link fails, you only need to repatch. (This can also be use for other critical single homed servers).
On a 3560X/3750X switches you do want to use the SFP ports for your busy ports (because they have their own reserved hardware buffers). However, if you use 10g port, as 10g, you lose half your SFP ports. Without knowing your expected traffic flow patterns, I cannot not say whether using all the SFP ports for dual gig port-channels would be better than having some on copper edge ports and some as dual 10g fiber ports.

OSB Proxy calling another proxy - performance question

My client wants to standardize their logging into a common proxy logging service (LoggingService).
The idea is that all their services can call this service to perform standard logging.
To implement this, we created a simple proxy based on any XML. It doesn't have a real business service behind it. Instead, it's simply a proxy configured with a Log action in the request pipeline to log $body.
Their other services call this from their request and response pipelines using the "Service Callout" Action.
Does anyone know what the performance impact of doing this would be? When I call the LoggingService proxy via the service callout, is another network connection created or is OSB optimized to do a local request?

wasn't familiar with the publish action vs the service callout. I just looked it up in the developers doc. Looks like it would work too. I'm just not clear what the difference is between the publish action and the service callout and when you would use on vs the other.
compare Routing action versus Service Callout action versus Publish action?
How do I know publish is more efficient than service callout? Enable monitoring (under Operational Settings) at action level in your proxy service having both publish and service callout. You may refer section "26.6 Viewing Service Monitoring Information"-

Another color management question

Hi folks,
Apologies for yet another color management question, but Im getting very confused and could do with some help. I use a Canon 10D and Canon 30D. Ive come to LightRoom from Pixmantec Raw Shooter.
As Ive gotten more serious about producing high quality images for both the web and as prints, I thought Id invest in the Colorvision Spyder2 calibration product. So my monitor is now calibrated (quite a difference from what I was seeing!) and I have a calibration profile applied.
My needs are pretty obvious I want my images to look the same wherever theyre viewed including exported files (such as JPEGs) whether this be on my monitor (in LightRoom, a web browser, Paint Shop Pro, whatever) and on a printer.
Perhaps Im getting confused because Im trying to compare what LightRoom does with what RawShooter does.
In RawShooter, when exporting from RAW to JPEG, I can specify the RGB Working Space Im using and then select my monitor profile. I think that what happens is that the export mechanism takes this profile into account and, low and behold, the JPEG looks fine when viewed in any web browser - the colours are exactly the same as in RawShooter. In Paint Shop Pro they look fine too unless I enable Color Management in which case (Im guessing) the monitor profile is, essentially, applied twice! But the upshot is I seem to get the results I want.
What I cant figure out is how I do this in LightRoom. I can make the same adjustments to the RAW image as I did in RawShooter, but there doesnt seem an option for me to select my profile on export to JPEG only the standard 3 color spaces. Anyway the result is a JPEG that looks somewhat different when viewed in a web browser, or Paint Shop Pro with Color Management turned off. However, if I turn Color Management on in Paint Shop Pro, then it looks fine. So Im assuming that my profile isnt accounted for when exporting JPEGs from LightRoom.
So any pointers or explanations would be really appreciated. I also acknowledge that this is my first foray into color management, and feel free to tell me to go and read some introductory article (link please!) and then come back with a sensible question if thats whats needed!
Thanks in advance.

Lightroom color management.
a.) Monitor profile used: The profile set as the default in your operating system (e.g. Windows xp). (your monitor profile software usually does this when you calibrate/profile your monitor).
b.) Working space: ProPhotoRGB
c.) Export color space: You can choose one of the following sRGB; Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB.
There is no option (afaik) to change a.) or b.) the option you choose in c.) will affect how the exported image will be displayed in color managed applications or non-color managed applications.
Non-color managed applications are not able to display Adobe RGB or Pro Photo RGB correctly. I guess if you wish a consistent display of your images in color managed and non-color managed applications then the only common factor is sRGB and you should export your images in sRGB color space.
The benefits of the other expanded color spaces are in printing and you also would have to get this end of your color management correct. Printing profiles to match your printer and each paper being used etc.
Until you can get this all sorted out you will get better results from sRGB, this is also applicable when using most commercial printing services.

Reason for message: another user connected via Sharing

For a bunch of reasons I don't want to get into yet I was wondering if someone could explain this to me:
If you have a desktop and laptop connected through your Airport (private network) and you close your laptop without logging out of the network and then log onto another (unprotected) network and then go to restart and you get the message that there is another user connected to you via Apple File Sharing could that be your own unterminated connection from your desktop? Or does it mean that someone went into your system? (and if that is the case is there a way of knowing what if anything was opened and/or uploaded?) TIA

Easiest way to look back is with...
With Sharepoints...
http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/
And...
http://www.hornware.com/afsmonitor/
IIRc, one allows you to enable the logging, then view with the other.... though it says "current" Users, I think it might inclusde history!?
But in the future I will turn the Airport off before putting the laptop to sleep for the night, if that improves the security.
Actually, the reason for disconnecting before Sleep or Moving away, is so as not to confuse the Macs as to who's on first!
During Sleep, the power to the Airport Transmitter & Receiver is cut off to save power... it deaf, dumb, and blind during Sleep.

HT4356 can i airprint to my airprint printer remotely, with ipad, from another wifi connection or only when i am within my own network?

can i airprint to my airprint printer remotely, with ipad, from another wifi connection or only when i am within my own network?

Air print, and the normal hp airprint set up requires that the pad and the printer be on the same wifi net work. The 'connecting' is done by your router. That means remote printing wont work with the out of the box stuff. I think you might find some 3rd party apps that do support remote printing, but i have not seen any reports from users that found a really good solution. Print n share reads like it might work, i am sure some users will chime in.

'another bizarre wifi connectivity question

In the last week or two my 2-year-old MacBook has developed an odd and increasingly frustrating problem -- hoping someone has advice: When the laptop gets more than about 5 feet from the wifi router it's using (whether the one in my apartment, or the one at my sister's place, or the one at the coffeeshop) it loses the signal. In fact, it doesn't just lose it - once about 20 feet away, the MacBook can't even find the signal. Even sitting two feet from the router, as I type, it only registers 2 or 3 bars bars, not full strength...
I'm pretty certain it's my laptop's problem, as my buddy has no problems in our apartment with his (even older) MacBook. Ditto my sister at her place. I'm a computer moron, so I've tried the basics, to fix this (turning the connection on/off, mucking with the preferences, even deleting the 'saved' networks and re-establishing them). Nothing's helping.
I don't know that I have every bit of firmware installed that I could - for some reason the Mac sorta balks after trying to install them - but I don't know that that's the problem, at all.
Anybody got a diagnosis/prescription? I'm a freelance writer and my computer and access to the Web are my life, so I'm increasingly aggravated and worried by this. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.
Truth to tell, it SEEMS that some deterioration was happening even starting a few weeks ago, but I chalked it up to moving into a new apartment. But the truly now-it-doesn't-work-at-all started about 8 days ago, out of seemingly nowhere. I didn't do anything different that I can think of, to cause this - no deletions, nothing. After the severe problem began, I did some software upgrades I'd been putting off. But that shouldn't be the issue...
All I've done to try to fix this, to date, is turn the airport on/off, turn computer and router on/off, and then yesterday I tried going into network and preferences and clearing the preferred wifi networks and then re-establishing those. Still, so far, I'm getting thrown off the 3 wifi networks I've tried after about 6 or 7 feet away from the router, while others with MacBooks have no problem. And they sometimes don't even "see" the wifi signal anymore. Crazy.
I haven't tried an ethernet connection but will do so, today, when I get back to my own apt. after holidays. That would tell me if it has anything to do with the wifi signal?
I can certainly go by an Apple store. And buy an Airport card if needed. But I don't want to drop $300 if not absolutely necessary...
thanks for any other advice...

Another Connection Question

Is there a bug in version 9.0.4 of MapViewer where the "max_connection" attribute is ignored or that MapViewer doesn't close out temporary connections that are opened (as needed) to always stay within the "max_connections"? I notice that my development server running MapViewer has to many connections to the DB and I'm using a "max_connection" in my DataSource.

What password are we talking about? The password for the router configuration or the wireless security key?
The former you'll need to configure the router at http://192.168.1.1/
The latter you'll need to connect wireless to the router when it has WEP, WPA or WPA2 set up.
The former you'll cannot recover (as far as I know) you must do a factory reset and reconfigure the whole router (i.e. internet connection, wireless security, etc.). The default password after a factory reset is "admin". You won't be able to do a backup of the settings without the password either.
The latter you can simply check by going to the URL above, to the wireless security tab. The key is in plain text there.

Transporter - Basic installation and connection questions

We have never used or installed the Transporter before. We are currently using Tidal 5.3x and are upgrading a sandbox environment to 6.2. I have looked at all the transporter documentation I can find and am still missing some very basic questions - plus I cannot get the "help" option in transporter to work.
WHERE do you install the Transporter and why? CM Server? Master Server? Desktop? If it is on a server, then does the user that runs it need to remote the server in order to user transporter?
I have attempted to install on each of the above, but cannot establish a connection. When I click "test" I get error "Failed to Connect [Login failure with responseCode [404]]What should I be entering in each of the following Connections fields? My comments indicate what I have assumed/attempted to enter and received the error above.
Connection name - just a given name to a connection? aka TESSandboxMaster
Server Name - what server? master? Is there a specific format this needs to be in?
DSP/Plug in name - I found a dsp file on my CM Server named TES-6.0.dsp - should I put TES-6.0 here?
User - network user that is a Super user in Tidal? aka networkname\superuser?
pwd - windows pwd for that user?
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi Patricia,
1. The Transporter is installed on the Client Manager - the CM is essentially a web server to handle client requests, perform sacmd commands, and utility for transporting jobs from one environment to another. A Tidal user would have to be granted rights to Move Jobs to Production, and I believe Tidal user has to be able to sign on to the CM as well.
2. I've reviewed an older copy of the transporter user guide 6.1 provides instructions on how to complete those fields:
To create a connection: (on page 32)
In the Connection Name field, enter the name for the connection file.
In the Server Name field, enter the name of the Client Manager machine.
In the DSP/Plugin Name field, enter the master instance name.
The master instance name is the TES DSP or Plugin name. This is displayed from the Web UI in the Master Status pane.
In the Server Port field, enter the listening Web Service port used by the Tidal Web Client. The default is 8080 for non-secured connections and 8443 for secured connections.
In the User and Password fields, enter a valid Enterprise Scheduler user name and password.
Select the Secure HTTP option if you want to connect securely through the HTTPS protocol.
This option is enabled only if Transporter has been configured for secure
connections. Figure 8 is an example of Transporter not configured for secure
connections.

WPS54G connection question

I never had a wireless server before so my question may not make sense, but here is what I am trying to do. My wife's computer is in another room of the house, and it is connected to the Internet through a cable modem (we use Comcast cable for internet access). The cable modem is also connected to a wireless router so that I can have internet access in another room of the house. I have a Xerox printer connected to a USB port on my computer. My wife does not have a printer, but would like to some how use my printer to print stuff from her computer. I bought the WPS54G wireless printer server brand new at a garage sale, hoping that I can connect it in such a way that my wife will be able to print wirelessly from her computer. So, since I do not have a router on my computer, and I have only a wireless (802.11) receiver, can I connect the printer to the WPS54G print server without connecting a router to it, and somehow have her computer print stuff wirelessly to my printer? If it makes any difference, her computer runs Windows XP and my computer runs Windows-7. My printer is a Xerox Phaser 1100. By the way, I tried to print a test page by pressing the reset button on the WPS54G, but it does not work. I get only a message on the printer LCD display that reads "Cancelling print job". Therefore, I am not able to confirm the IP address of the WPS54G in orderr to set up a TCP/IP port.
Okay, with all that information, please let me know if we can somehow set up the WPS54G with my printer so that my wife can print from her computer. Is it possible? If so, what must I do?
THANKS!!!

Allthough you do not have a wireless router in your room, that does not guarantee that you cannot use or get your WPS54G configured in your network.....Your wife in a different part of the same house has got a wireless printer configured....In order to configure your WPS54G initially you need to get your WPS54G connected with an ethernet cable to that wireless router and get your printer connected to WPS54G via USB....
For the initial set up please try shifting your printer and WPS54G in that part of the house where your wife's router is.....after the configuration your WPS54G will saty connected to the printer with a USB but then you can shift it in your room and it will talk to your router wirelessly....Your computer has got a wireless receiver in it so it will easily talk to your printer then along with your wife's computer....

ATT Data Connect question

Right now I have a blackberry with unlimited data plan as well as a dataconnect SIM that I have been using in the T400.
My question: Can I get rid of my 60$ data connect plan and use my blacberry SIM card?

then you buy another contract for the hub. but if your family has 10 gb shared you would not need a hot spot as they each have their own.
You should actualy go into the store and ask your quesitons directly of the people that sell them.
Or go ahead and buy it on eBay and then try to make it work.
It all sounds like you are trying to find a way to circument the system, which I applaud.
