Automountd and port 111

First time I see this on Llittle Snitch. Can anyone shed some light on this ?
Thanks

Some providers configured their DNS servers to show you a web page when you enter a non-existent domain name instead of returning a proper error message. In some cases (e.g. when you open the open/save dialog) the operating system tries to connect over port 111. Under normal circumstances the process would just get a not found response. But in this case your provider actually delivers a web site and the process thinks that it can connect to that address.
A solution to this issue is to either disable this functionality on your ISP’s customer page or to change to DNS servers which conform to defined standards.

  • What is "automountd" and why does it try to connect to "fakehome.dat"?

    Hi everybody,
    Ever since i upgraded from 10.7.x to Lion (10.8.2), every time i start my laptop Little Snitch reports "automountd wants to connect to fakehome.dat on UDP port 111 (sunrpc)."
    The IP address points to "Highwinds Network Group, Inc." (http://whois.domaintools.com/69.16.143.107)
    I've seen some people blame this on SuperDuper, but i don't have SuperSuper installed.
    Does anybody know what this is? I've been denying the connection on a day-to-day basis. Should i be allowing the connection?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    What is happening is that OSX is trying to attach to all of the network storage paths you have available, probably to do something like populate the side bar in a save dialog. OSX hits a dead end so it asks the DHCP server for help. The DHCP server is probably at your ISP or perhaps something like OpenDNS.org if you set it up. Typically, they report back some ad-link crap for things they can't find. However, it looks like your ISP intentionally set up something that can't be used. That's a good thing, because OSX will immediately stop looking at that point.
    If you are not connecting to file storage, the usual suspects are network files sharing turned on (if you don't need it, turn it off), Time Machine, AirDrop, iCloud, and Dropbox if you have LAN syncing turned on. Even with all of those things turned off, OSX will still try to contact the DHCP server (even though it shouldn't, yes, lil snitch has uncovered a flaw in OSX, harmless though it may be).
    Generally, this is not a "problem" per se, but it can cause a delay in showing dialogs etc while DHCP is being queried, but far less than say an external drive that has fallen asleep. If you are not using network file storage outside of your local network, and not using named paths within it, it is probably okay to block traffic to the ISP's DHCP server for automountd (not other processes). You can try it, and if there seems to be a problem, Lil Snitch makes it easy to remove that rule. Should you add some network storage, or an app that does, in the future, then you will likely need to delete this rule.
    As for the value of Lil Snitch, "3rd party" are not a dirty words. It is a valuable tool that can spot nepherious or excessive network traffic. My personal experience with it, it has found apps "phoning home", tracking images embedded in emails, runaway processes (hello Dropbox, I'm looking at you), and apps embedded in web pages. But like any tool, it's important to know how to use it. People of alerted to a process they aren't familiar with and are curious, so they do a web search. That's good and fine. Unfortunately, there are too many flippant answers like the one above that provide an solution to the symptom (uninstall the tool) rather than providing an answer to the question asked (what is this thing?).
    If you don't understand something that doesn't make it pointless.
    Like a lot of old-school forums, Apple Support Communities puts a premium on a contributor's volume, not their quality. It's best to seek answers somewhere else, like the StackExchanges, where contributions are valued qualitatively not quantitatively and the contributors themselves are held accountable for their content and conduct.

  • Essbase1113 IP Address and Port Questions

    hello,
    everyone, i'm puzzled on a question about essbase.
    it'll be so kind if you give me some suggestions.
    in our project, we install EMP System 1113 on Win Server2003, but it's in local network. there is no problem when we connect it using client tools in local network environment.
    however, we wanna connect the Essbase Server through Internet, we map the server address (such as 10.163.163.163) as an Internet address (such as 111.111.111.111).
    we didn't use VPN such tools, and, the address is just a mapping, if we don't map the port, we couldn't connect the essbase server.
    here comes the question, how do we map the essbase address and port ? i mean which port should we use, so that we could connect it through Internet ?
    thank you so much.
    wish to reply.
    hawk.

    The ports that essbase use are outlined at :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_install_start_here/ch06s05s01.html

  • Sunrpc port 111. Is there a way I can close it?

    Hi all. I was wondering... When I'm logged in CDE, ports 111, 6000, 32771 and 32772 are open. Is there a way I can close all (except 6000 of cource). If I do "/etc/init.d/rpc stop", I can close them, but then.. I can't open any CDE application. This only works if you have another window manager, like gnome or kde.
    Any ideas?

    You may want to do a block at the /etc/services for services using port 111.

  • Visual Voicemail gone after upgrade to 2.0 (and porting number)

    Anyone else experience this? I upgraded to 2.0 and at the same time I ported the old iPhone to another cell phone number on my account with ATT. The upgrade to 2.0 and porting appeared to go OK as everything else is working EXCEPT when on the phone application, I can not get the visual voicemail button to do anything. I press it and it acts like it is taking some time to open but it never brings up the visual voicemail screen. The phone part works as usual in all other ways.

    I upgraded to the pre-release version of 2.0 and it worked fine. Then this morning i tried to update to the official 2.0 and it could not connect to iTunes, and that pinwheel kept spinning. So I pressed home button and power button until it (iPhone) rebooted. Then i connected it to iTunes and it asked me to restore.... So i pressed the option key (in mac, idk what it is in windows) and selected the prerelease version to downgrade to and now its fine. So...... good luck all

  • How to determine which IP address and port is used to make DNS queries?

    I am using JNDI/DNS API to query a Enum server (Tel URI resolution in VOIP world) what is a DNS server.
    But I have many network interfaces, in a VLAN environment, and I must to specify from which interface (and port)
    all the requests are sent.
    When I read the code of JNDI/DNS API (in JDK 1.5) and specially the DNSClient class, I can see that the
    DatagramSocket is created without parameters... : udpSocket = new DatagramSocket();
    How can I specify the IP address and port to use for my client???
    Thanks for your help.

    I must to specify from which interface (and port) all the requests are sent. You don't have to specify the interface unless your static unicast routing tables are incorrect, and you never have to specify the port unless some lunatic is in control of your firewall.

  • FF keeps defaulting to the wrong HTTP proxy server and port. I have to change it every time I attempt to open Firefox? How do I change it for good?

    The manual proxy settings keep defaulting to the wrong HTTP and port. This has caused me many hours of anguish. It works fine when I correct the settings but after you log off and then come back it has to be changed again. Is there anyway to fix it? Or can I go back to the previous version because 4 definitely has some issues (other than this one). I could live with it if I had to but I'm not the only one who uses this computer and they don't know how to make the changes. Thanks and I would definitely appreciate an answer.

  • Web Service Proxy with Dynamic IP and Port

    hi,
    I am currently looking at the Web Service Proxy generation in JDev 11g. I can generate proxies fine, but the proxies are generated with static host and port. I want to substitute the host and port during runtime if required, for instance read the values from a database. I need to do this to avoid compiling the application for every deployment we make dev, test and production. Is there an easy way to set the generated proxy host and port? Are there any examples?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    Maybe you should have a look on XML Catalogs feature, but I am not sure if JDeveloper support it and how to support it.

  • Xbox 360/one problem and port forwarding

    For a couple months now (since I got my AirPort Extreme) I have not been able to connect to a certain friend on xbox. I can connect to anybody else however. The only way we can (kind of) connect is if somebody else is host and we both connect to him.
    My NAT type is Moderate. When I try to test my connection on my xbox it says that I can connect but I am limited in matchmaking (this is joining games and using voice chat, which is the problem named above for my particular friend). The xbox shows the error and suggests that I enable UPnP or open the port 3074.
    The problem is that I have already have! I gave my xbox a static IP and forwarded the port 3074 to that IP.
    (I have also tried forwarding all the ports that xbox live uses to the xbox. These being:
    Port 88 (UDP)
    Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
    Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
    Port 80 (TCP)
    as found on the xbox website...  https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/networking/network-ports-used-xbox-live
    I made sure to put them in the right text boxes for UDP and TCP so that is not the problem either.)
    I know that the AirPort Extreme does not support UPnP but does have a similar thing called NAT Port Mapping Protocol which was already enabled. (I tried all possibilities of enabling/disabling NAT...Protocol and port forwarding/not port forwarding.)  ---  This is not the solution as I see it
    In short: My xbox tells me to open port 3074. I already have. It still tells me to open it and still won't work.
    I posted this on the apple discussion page (instead of the xbox discussion page) because I know that it's not an xbox problem. When I had my old linksys router it worked perfectly.

    I have this exact same question and problem.  I know this doesn't help, but would appreciate any updated information if you find an answer.  I'll keep working on this also and let you know if I find an anwer.

  • How to remove old USB printer drivers and ports from Windows XP and Windows 7

    We have several instances of HP 4250 Printers connected as local USB printers. When trying to replace this model with a HP P4015n or HP 600 M602n the new models will appear to install but won't print. No error messages but sometimes they try to install with ieee 1284.4 support which would seem to be a parallel port type. We're trying to use the HP UPD PCL 5.  I'm looking for a way to completely remove the old printer instances, drivers and ports. While the printer icons and drivers seem to be able to be deleted the USB printer ports can't be deleted. Then when I go back and try to install the new model printer it can only use he existing USB port. Again, when that happens the new printer won't print. So I'm trying to get a completely fresh start with the XP SP 3 and Win 7 OS before installing the newer models. I've tried several methods to clean the USB printers but the instructions are never detailed and most times something is missing and the OS needs to be reloaded. I thought that I would see if someone who knows HP USB printers has any ideas...

    These seem to be a commercial products. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

  • How to get server hostname and port from web form

    Hi All,
    I need to find out server hostname and port number
    from 9i form.
    That is if the form was called via:
    http://myserver.com:1234/f90servlet?form=test,
    i would like to call some
    GET_XXX_PROPERTY(SERVER_HOSTNAME) that would return
    myserver.com
    and
    GET_XXX_PROPERTY(SERVER_PORT) that would return
    1234
    or alternatively
    GET_XXX_PROPERTY(SERVER_URL) that would return
    complete URL, so that i can parse it myself.
    Does anything like this exist? If not,would be
    possible to get that information from any Java
    function via java importer?

    Robert,
    I'd add the code as a Java Bean in Forms and get this information from the Forms request URL.
    Add the following bean to a Canvas and make it a size of 1x1 pixel so taht it appears hidden
    import java.applet.Applet;
    import java.net.URL;
    import oracle.forms.handler.IHandler;
    import oracle.forms.properties.ID;
    import oracle.forms.ui.VBean;
    public class FrmRequestInfo extends VBean
    public static final ID pGetPort = ID.registerProperty("GET_PORT");
    public static final ID pGetHost = ID.registerProperty("GET_HOST");
    public static final ID pGetProtocol = ID.registerProperty("GET_PROTOCOL");
    private String _host;
    private String _port;
    private String _protocol;
    private URL FormsURL;
    Applet m_applet;
    /*Forms settings*/
    IHandler m_handler;
    public FrmRequestInfo()
    public final void init (IHandler handler)
    super.init(handler);
    m_handler = handler;
    // get the forms applet handler
    m_applet = m_handler.getApplet();
    // initialize cookie domain to the same domain that runs Forms
    // Services
    FormsURL = m_applet.getDocumentBase();
    _host = FormsURL.getHost();
    _port = new Integer(FormsURL.getPort()).toString();
    _protocol = FormsURL.getProtocol();
    public Object getProperty(ID p0)
    if (p0 == pGetHost)
    return _host;
    else if (p0 == pGetPort)
    return _port;
    else if (p0 == pGetProtocol)
    return _protocol;
    else
    return super.getProperty(p0);
    To get the port number you call
    VarcharVariable_Port := get_custom_property('beanblock.beanname',1,'GET_PORT');
    for the hostname
    VarcharVariable_Host:= get_custom_property('beanblock.beanname',1,'GET_HOST');
    Frank
    Ps.: just wrote the bean on the fly, without testing - but I am positive that it works as similar functionality works for me in other beans.

    Thanks

    OK, then pls follow below steps;
    - Go to step 'Create Users' in solman_setup System Preparation scenario and make sure the user SM_INTERN_WS has a green status. Use the 'Test Login' button to make sure the user is not locked and has correct credentials maintained in solman_setup
    - Immediately after checking the user status, navigate to Configure Connectivity->Enable Web Services and execute again the 'Create Logical Ports' automatic activity, in order to propagate the correct credentials to the Logical Port definitions.
    - If the above operation is not successful, repeat the two steps above, providing a different user Id in 'Create Users' step, eg SM_INTERN_W1. This will prevent situations where the user gets locked by Logical Ports using an obsolete password.
    Let me know the results.

  • Mapping Yamaha DTXplorer in logic pro - Environment window clicks and Ports

    The midi signals for Yamaha DTXplorer are off from GM. The snare (G0) and bass drum (A0) output notes do not trigger snare (D1) and bass drum (C1).
    I am a novice to both MAC and Logic Pro.
    I have the midi out of the drumset going USB right into my MAC.
    I've gotten as far as...
    1. Environment window>clicks and Ports
    2. Verifying the channels that DTX triggers for snare and bass drum.
    3. Changing the output notes to D1 & C1.
    Nothing changes with the sound.
    In fact, I can change the output notes for drums that are set up correctly and they don't change either.
    None of the alterations I do in the Environment window seem to do anything to the midi signals!
    Do I need to activate or save the changes? If so, how (precisely)?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can do that from within the app, under menu Logic Pro X;
