Apple TV2, Linksys Router, Preferred IP Addresses not being taken

I'm setting up every internet enabled device in my household on a preferred IP address inside my linksys router. This is in case of any future use where I may need to port forward to a specific device. I am setting up the preferred IP addresses in the Linksys instead of adding Manual addresses to each individual item as not only does that add to the process, it's not very friendly when trying to change the order of IP addresses I have done, or if a new item is added to the household. Plus Manual addresses can be deceiving if there are network errors.
The devices we have: iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPad 3rd Gen, Airport Express, Apple TV2, Mac Mini and a PS3.
The Router: Linksys WRT120N fw1.0.07
The Linksys requires the MAC addresses of each device to assign the preferred IP Address to each individual device. I have even gathered up the Wifi and Ethernet adaptors MAC addresses for the items applicable. All devices are properly eing assigned the right IP address... but no matter what I try, the Apple TV2 always pulls a basic 192.168.1.100 IP even though its airport MAC address is assigned to grab 192.168.1.143 and ethernet is 192.168.1.142. Neither the ethernet nor the wireles settings of the ATV2 grab the right ones.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? If so, how did you finally push the right preferred IP address to the device. (Keep in mind that I want to grab the items automatically, I want to have the linksys supply the preferred IP and not have the ATV2 grab a manual address)

Hi… Make sure that you have entered the MAC address of your Range Expander under MAC filter. You don’t need the filtering to be done on Range Expander. Try changing other wireless settings such as Channel to 11 etc… Also make sure that you are assigning an IP address that is in the range of the router. Go to wireless network connection properties, under wireless network, click advance button and select ‘access point, infrastructure networks only’. I think this should solve the issue. Upgrade the firmware on the router and range expander if needed.

    Were the VISA and MasterCard issued to you by a bank in the country where you reside and do they have a verifiable billing address in the same country?
    Or are these debit cards that you bought in a local store. Apple does not accept debit cards that you bought.

  • I have an ipad first generation.  I am trying to connect to a linksys router and it is not finding the wireless network.  what do i need to do?

    I have an ipad first generation.  I am trying to connect to a linksys router and the ipad is not finding the wireless network.  What do I need to do?  Thanks for your help.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Linksys Router- Assign IP Address?

    I have a Linksys router with my Mac Pro. I have my mac pro wired into the router but it is a wireless router so there are other things on the router as well such as the Xbox. I have to have certain ports open for the Xbox to work and my torrent client to work as well. Sometimes the router auto assigns the IP to my computer and then I have to go into the router settings and change which IP has which ports open for it. Is there a way to assign my computer an IP so it gets the same IP every time and same with the Xbox?

    Open Network preferences click on the Advanced button then on the TCP/IP tab. Note the IP address assigned to your computer by the router, then change the TCP/IP IPv4 Configure drop down menu to DHCP with manual addressing. Then insert the IP address your router was using under the previous setting. Click on the Apply button. Use this IP address in your port forwarding configuration.

  • Linksys router and IP address problem

    My linksys router is sending out a fake IP address of 24.124... Is there any way to set it so it sends out something else? I'm trying to access a chat server which banned ALL 24.124 addresses because of some hacker doing a number on their server. I really want to get in without having to buy another router. I have a WRT54G V5

    If the router is not giving the 192.168.1.x ip, the router might be acting as a pass through already and needs a firmware upgrade. If the firmware upgrade will not save the router, it might be defective.

  • Installed Linksys Router but IP address shows Netgear Information

    Trying to setup security for my Linksys Router that I didn't do when I first installed it, but when I access the Routers IP address page, Netgear information comes up. How is this possible? I had the Linksys rep on line trying to get help, and she got real testy with me when I told her what was happening. Any advice?

    Is this cascaded then to another router? How does your connection go? Modem to Linksys router then to computers? Or do you have other devices namely of course a netgear device connected to your network?
    Go to start --> run --> cmd and type in ipconfig. What is your default gateway? That should be one that you should attempt to type to access the router configuration page.

  • HP office jet 8600, wireless not working, IP address not being recognized

    Purchased new HP office jet pro 8600 N911a.  Inserted CD software on relatively new Toshiba laptop using Windows 7, but problem is that printer IP address is not being recognized.  Wireless router is Apple airport extreme.  Have checked various potential solutions, including the following:  deleting software and re-inserting CD, turning off router, computer, printer and resetting, running a wirless network test (no problems found, wireless on and working and connected), ensuring that laptop and printer are on the same wirless network (yes), ensuring that printer IP address is entered correctly, and ensuring that firewall issues are not a problem.  Airport extreme settings show this printer's MAC address as a "wireless client" and its IP address as a "DHCP client"; however, when clicking on the "printers" heading in Airport extreme printers, no printers are listed (this is the pane that shows the USB printers connected to your Airport wirless device). Any suggestions would be appreciated

    Hi,
    Why don't you connect the printer wirelessly to your Airport Extreme?
    You may do so by clicking the Wireless icon on the printer screen, click Settings and follow the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the device, then it should recieve its own IP by using the printer capabilities..
    If you prefer to use such a Print Server configuration, you may try using a different USB and check if that may help, otherwise I would suggest you to contact Apple as they know their accessories the best..

  • Text send to email address not being delivered

    Can anyone tell me why texts sent from my iphone 4 to my home email address are not being delivered? I like to send reminders of things I need to do from my phone to my email address. Have always been able to do this from other phones I've had but not now with this iphone 4. It saying they were sent but they never show up in my inbox or any other box.

    What prevents the new message being sent as an SMS is that your actually sending an email -- not an SMS, when you initiate a [email protected], that is an email, not an SMS.

    Nope, you don't have the data plan. Sorta like refusing to install a trailer hitch on your truck, and then wondering why you can't pull a trailer behind.

  • IP address not being set using Win XP Pro with Airport Extreme

    Hi,
    I'd appreciate any information on this subject. I got a new Airport Extreme on Friday to replace my DLink G router. Basically is blew up. So I've got it set up and my Vista laptop is running just fine. However, my work laptop which is a Win XP Pro machine can not aquire a network address. It continually says "Aquiring Network Address" and then times out and disconnects. After a lot of looking around and checking out blogs I took a look and it seems that I cannot get an IP address. When ipconfig in cmd it shows not IP address and subnet, etc as 0.0.0.0. OKay, so I try to reboot, I've also tried release renew and still no go. I can connect with a cable to the Airport and receive an IP immediately and obviously I can get directly on the cable modem I am using with Rogers with no issue. So can anyone tell me why over the air I can't get an IP? Did I set something up with this XP Pro machine that doesn't seem to have a problem with Vista?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated...I haven't been wired and years, slightly unsettling!
    Thanks!

    Okay I got it. I couldn't get an IP address and so I found another discussion. One person said to do this:
    The "Limited or No Connectivity" indication is because the network adapter has failed to get its IP address by DHCP from the router and Windows has defaulted to allocating a "169.254" IP address.
    Try repairing the TCP/IP stack and Winsock. Open a Command Prompt window ("Start > Run", type cmd and click OK).
    To repair the TCP/IP stack, at the prompt, type...
    netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
    ...and press Enter
    (note the spaces in the command line). The original prompt will reappear.
    To reset Winsock entries, at the prompt, type...
    netsh winsock reset catalog
    ...and press Enter
    Exit the Command Prompt window and reboot the PC.
    Well that did it! Off I go!

  • Reply-to Address not being Changed as Anticipated

    There is an ‘Advanced Options’ tab in the set-up page for BT Yahoo! Mail that has a sub-option ‘Mail Accounts’. I created a new account ‘iCloud Sending’ by filling in the ‘Account Name’, ‘Email address’, ‘Sending Name’ & ‘Reply-to address’ boxes, & followed the authentication process.
    When I send an email from my iPhone 4S using iCloud it is correctly routed to its destination via smtp.mail.yahoo.com. However, the BT Yahoo! does not appear to modify the reply-to address from [email protected] to the specified address as I woud have expected. Has anyone else experienced this problem, please?

    The iPhone does not support use of the Reply To field. That's why you haven't found an answer.

    I would think not. My employer would certainly have issues with corporate emails being automatically forwarded to a 3rd party mail host like Yahoo or Hotmail. That would likely result in some sort of disciplinary action against the employee. A much more likely 'common business practice' is simply to have the Exchange account directly on the phone. Automatic forwarding (via Outlook left active on a computer, for example) is a common workaround when one's employer does not allow iPhone's to connect to the Exchange server, and as I stated, that probably violates policy at most companies.

  • I am entering my apple username and password but it is not being recognised. I have entered my correct date of birth but it is  not recognising that either.

    I am having trouble updating the apps on my I=-phone because nothing I enter is recognised. I enter the e-mail address originally used and the correct password but it says it doesn't recognise this. I have also tried to re-set the password but it says it is sending me an e-mail to do this but it never comes. I have set up a new user ID and password but don't know how to transfer that so it updates my I-phone. Any ideas?

    You're going to have to call Apple and ask for Account Security in order to get this straightened out.

  • Mail to my .mac address not being received.  Mail to .me is.

    Very Strange.  Mail sent to my .me address is recived.  Mail sent to my .mac address is not.  Yet in iCloud I am identifed by my .mac address.

    No, can't be done. Backups will occur when you are home if you are using Time Capsule, or when you connect your Time Machine backup drive.
    Portable Macs back up locally, while awaiting a connection to your backup device. Try it yourself - you can "Enter Time Machine" and browse recent backups even when you are away from your Time Capsule.
    Read about that here: http://pondini.org/TM/30.html. It has limitations - a consequence of sharing your local volume with TM's "local snapshots".
    This feature can be disabled in Time Machine Preferences.

  • Some Addresses not being recognized

    Hi Please help,
    I have just switched over from Yahoo to mail, and have been able to send my photos to other Yahoo users but the "mail" will not recognize a lot of my current and "good" addresses to other.
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Thank You.

    Those are the classic symptoms of iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 headers.
    Treat the problem files with a 3rd party tag cleanup tool such as MP3 Validator. Then the files will add to iTunes.

  • Group addresses not being retained

    Has anyone had problems with the group addresses in Mail?  I enter the addresses into the group but later, after re-starting my computer, the groups are empty.

    These are mosly old addresses and old groups. The groups just suddenly appeared empty. I re-dragged the contacts and sent some mail. The next time I tried to do this, the group was empy again. I just loaded the groups again from v-card from my lap-top. I deleted the old groups first. One group gave me lots of trouble in that I couldn't delete it at first.
