Cannot get an IP from the Router - Limited or No Connection
Help!
Hello,
I have a Linksys Wireless G router and 2 XP computers that were
working fine.
I am using it wired - no wireless being used.
Now one get an error that is there is low network connectivity and
cannot connect to anything.
The other computer - fine. So X - no connection, Y - connected
I tried swapping cables - same situation (different ends, new cable,
the one from Y) - X no network, Y is fine. Switched router ports -
same situation X-no, Y - yes
Plugged in modem directly into X - works FINE.
I did check the security center in the control panels - in both cases
the fire wall is on, but the windows firewall is off. I cannot
disable the firewall from X - it must be the router firewall (I tried
removing any filtering from the router - same issue). Again, Y works
fine.
Only when going through the router does this cause a problem.
Direct connection is fine.
To top it off, when computer X is booted up in safe mode and going
through the router - it is fine. An IP address is taken. In regular
mode the computer boots up and shows an IP address of 169.254.x.x. I
tried power cycling the mode, router, both, reboots - same issue
169.254.x.x. I tried hard coding the IP address to the one found on
the router and in the range of the router - no dice.
Why can't I get an IP address from DHCP?
Computer X does not Norton Antivirus on it - I disabled it in regular
mode - same problem. I do not want to uninstall it.
I read about a Service Pack 2 problem with XP - but the problem does
not appear in Safe Mode with Networking and I did try the fixes my MS
about it - to no avail. The underlying issue is that computer X
cannot get an IP address from the router.
Computer X work when:
- there is a direct connection from the modem (DSL) to the computer
in regular mode
- booted up in Safe Mode and attached to the router - can ping it,
surf the net
Computer Y is fine with the Router.
Suggestions on how to proceed?
Help!
Thanks!

Hi,
I tried it - same problem.
Did the netsh command and reboot.
Did the mtu change.
Same problem.
Reset the router and tried all over - same situation.
The DHCP client list shows 2 ip addresses - one for the computer that does not work and one for the one that does not.
Same IP addrsses as before.
192.168.1.100 - does not work - but the MAC address hows, and so does the computer name.
192.168.1.101 - does work.
Again, the computer works in safe mode (and connected to the router) and with a direct connection. The issue has to be with the router.
Is there any way I can for the computers to swap router IPs?
Thanks,
Tmuld

I'm trying to connect a Belkin brand stereo audio cable from my MacBook Pro to a Sony flatscreen TV (Apple "genius" handed me the cable to purchase.) I have tried all the ports in the back of the Sony, and tried the volume on both the cable and TV remotes. I cannot get sound out of the Sony from my MacBook Pro laptop. What am I doing wrong???
Downloaded your operating manual. It appears that you need to connect the HDMI to HDMI 1 and the audio to the input socket just to the right of the VGA socket (i.e., between the VGA and the RF input connection). The picture on page13 seems to be the clearest I could find:
Although it's not exactly clear I think they are talking about a standard 3.5 mm (1/8") stereo jack for the audio inpu as opposed to the more common RCA jacks used in the row just above that VGA input socket.
I haven't checked the manual as yet whether you need to set anything special with the controls other than input select.
Note, if that truly is a 3.5 mm stereo jack cables are very common. In your case it would just be a cable with a 3.5 mm jack on each end.
Update:
You will have to experiment with this but I think you will need to try pusing the input button to select either HDMI1 or PC (or Component?). The manual is not clear on this (page 31). Sometimes it just comes down to pushing buttons. -

Networking issue with new Macbook - cannot get IP address from DHCP router
Hello all, I've seen this problem posted a few times and been having the same problem with my new aluminum MacBook. Here's the story:
When connecting to my network at home, I get the message "Airport has a self-assigned IP and may not be able to connect to the internet." I've been able to connect a few times, but anytime it sleeps or I shut down I have the same problem. When I'm out and about, it has no problem connecting to other networks.
On the network in which I cannot connect, there are 2 other macs and two PCs that do NOT have any problem connecting. Macs are all running 10.5.5.
Router in a 2Wire and uses DHCP. ISP is AT&T.
I've tried rebooting the router, manually assigned an IP address, restarting, updating software. Nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? This is kinda making me crazy.I've also tried:
1) Creating a new location in network prefs.
2) Zapping PRAM
3) rebooting router many time.
4) putting a $ in front of the hex password
5) deleting all of the plists that I've seen recommended.
6) Starting in safe mode
7) Renewing IP
8) Shutting off firewall -
Sony PFM-42V1: I cannot get any audio from monitor
I cannot get any audio from my PFM-42V1. first: I connected independent speakers via speaker sockets - result no sound. Then after reading its Manuel it suggested I connect headphones to the monitor's audio mini jack - again no sound. What I do not understand is it said if sound doesn't work with headphones - contact computer manufacturer. Any suggestions?
From your description it sounds like your using input 1 or input 2, you will need to feed a audio source into the 1/8 mini female jack (Fig. 1) next to input your using. This will allow the audio to pass to the speakers you've connected to the monitors speakers jacks (Fig 2). Also you'll want to make sure that within the Monitor Menu under Custom Setup that you have Speaker Out: On (not off).

I recently transferred my internet service to another state.I have not yet moved my imac, just my pc laptop. I cannot get my airport extreme wireless router to work. The green light stays lit when everything is connected but I can't connect to the internet. Any suggestions?
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results. -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I cannot get my photos from iCloud to illustrator
they have been saved in an album which does not show up when i select photos and they did not upload to iCloud when i synced my photos i had to import manually. How would i go about saving the photos from iCloud to my documents or finding the file under the photos option?
For Mavericks you need to upgrade to iPhoto 9.5.1.
You cannot buy this version from the AppStore, since the current version is iPhoto 9.6, and that requires Yosemite. The easiest route for you would be to upgrade to Yosemite. Then you can simply buy the newest version of iPhoto from the App Store and can use iCloud Photo Library (iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ), once it has been release for the Mac as well early next year.
If you want to stick with Mavericks, you'll have limited iCloud features, only the Photo Streams (iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ), but no iCloud Drive (iCloud Drive FAQ) and iCloud Photo Library. And to upgrade iPhoto you need to buy an iPhoto '11 installer. It comes as part of iLife '11. You can try to buy a boxed version from Amazon or try to find it at eBay. Once installed on Mavericks, download the iPhoto '11 updaters from the apple Support Downloads page. -

Thkx,
RamWell, I finally figured it out. When trying to receive text messages from my iPhone pals, I would get a failure message and a suggestion to update my profile. When I selected that option, the phone would sit for a long time trying to connect and then fail. I went into my settings and was able to force an update. Lo and behold, all of the backed up text messages started to down load. It seems as though when I received the texts from my friends, the system was aware that I had not received then and they were held somewhere in the cloud. Then they were continuously resent until I fixed the problem at my end. They all downloaded over night and the problem has been resolved.

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.
I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
Please help !!!Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

Database Connection Error: Cannot obtain error message from the server
I have a SQL statement that wants to add a temp table to the database. The SQL statement works fine but when I try to add it via 'Add Command' feature in Crystal XI R2, I get the following error message:
Database Connection Error: Cannot obtain error message from the server
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Zack H.Hi Raghavendra,
I am using this in the 'Add Command' feature but I get the error message displayed in the subject line:
CREATE TABLE #TibetanYaks(
YakID char(4),
YakName char(20) )
INSERT INTO #TibetanYaks (YakID, YakName)
SELECT LastName, FirstName
FROM Employee
WHERE EmployeeID between '2000' and '3000'
I haven't tried to add this as a stored procedure but I imagine it will work as I have no problems yet with stored procedures. I simply want to be able to use temporary tables for the sole purpose of that session and not creating anything static in the database.
By the way, even though I get the error message, when I look on the backend database, I see that the temporary table was successfully created...its just not brought across correctly in Crystal.
Any ideas?
Zack H.
