Configure Network Settings. DHCP is used unless otherwise specified

Hello
I have created a task sequence that is used in multiple domains.
In one domain DHCP is not configured and we need to use the "Bootable media that uses the Configmr infrastructure".
This bootable media is running fine when DHCP is enabled.
However, when I configure the network settings Manual in WINPE the client
can connect to the SCCM server.
After SCCM applies the OS image and reboots the network settings are gone and the Task Sequence crashes.
Is there a simple way to transfer the network settings from WINPE to the OS?

I usually use ZTINICConfig.wsf of MDT
to capture those network settings. That means that I add the following two steps to my task sequence:
A Use Toolkit Package step, to copy the MDT package;
A
Run Command Line step, with the command %Scriptroot%\ZTINICConfig.wsf /ForceCapture, to capture the network settings.

Can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac

Hi there. I can't configure wireless settings on P1102w using a mac. I have it installed with USB just fine but I want to use eprint (with ios airplay). I run the setup utility looking for some wireless setup option, but it never appears. When I finish the install it tells me to go to the eprint website to download eprint. At that site it has me download the firmware update, which I do, and then at the end of that it tells me to go to the eprint website again, which then downloads the firmware update again. It's an endless loop.
I know I need to get to the built in web server but the config page tells me I don't have an IP address. Which makes sense to me because it hasn't been set up. I can't for the life of me find how to set up the wireless using the driver software on the Mac OS. I try to follow the manuals instructions, but it looks like it is designed for windows users, and the buttons it tells me to look for just don't exist on the mac HP driver software.
Can you help?

Hi,
The Wireless configuration should be made by using the EWS page, which also accessible from Mac OS over a USB connection through the printer setup.
You may find the steps listed below:
Click the Apple icon, then clickSystem Preferences.
Click Print & Fax.
Select your printer and click Open Print Queue.
Click on Printer Setup
Then select Utility
Click Open Printer Utility
Click HTMLConfig. The EWS opens.
Click the Networking tab
Then click Wireless from the list on the left
Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
In the confirmation box, click OK and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
Once done, allow 3 minutes to fully establish the connection, then unplug the USB.
Enter Print & Fax and remove the existing USB Print Queue.
Click the Plus button and add the printer over the network.
Please let me know of any issue,
Shlomi

Configure network settings on clients

Well I've finally tracked down a very annoying problem with using aiport and network logins. I'm looking to find a way to create a new network location and its settings for aiport for all the clients with a shell script. I haven't been able to find any plist or unix utility that would let me create a location, or edit the current location such that:
aiport is the only enabled port
choose to join preferred network
choose to auto join and open network
I'm really hoping not to have to do these steps 60 times in the UI.

How to configure network settings in solaris 10

hi
i have downloaded solaris 10 and installed on dell dimension desktop,as i have gone through the instalation guide,i see i dont get netwotk configuration (DNS,DHCP.....)settings during installation,it havent asked me about those settings,It just asked the host name ..after installation i see no network connection even i have my cable connected.ethernet cable connected Its INTEL
can anyone help me how to resolve this issue

You could try the Dell site, but I doublt if they will have a driver for Solaris, Linux maybe but not Solaris. Otherwise try the DriverGuide web site. http://www.driverguide.com/
You could also try installing OpenSolaris if you don't specifically need Solaris 10. Better chance that OpenSolaris will support the NIC.

Cannot Configure Network Settings During ol6u1 HVM Install

dom0: vm server v2.2.2
vm manager: v2.2.0
Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 update 1
When creating a domu server using ol6u1, the network configuration button on the page where you enter the host name is grayed out. I would like to enter the settings during the initial install.
What can I do to make the button usable. When I do an install in Vmware Workstation, the button functions as expected.
How can I enable that functionality in Oracle Vm environment?

Thank you for your answers, they were helpful.

WAE-674 not retaining network settings when configured using recovery CD

WAE-674 Issues
Here is the story so far:
Disks crashed. Installed new disks. Inserted the recovery CD. wiped disks and installed .bin image. tried to configure network settings. No error message but interface settings did not stick. I am 100% positive that the network settings were correct. cannot connect to the device via telnet. Can see the device with CDP but no IP address configured.

Could I be having these issues because I am using a monitor and keyboard not a console cable?
Old style console cable not available. equipment is difficult to procure because I'm in the middle of nowhere.
Could the issues be because of the 64bit architecture of WAE-674 i.e could I be using the wrong recovery disk?
Attached are images of the device booting when recovery CD is not inside the device.

Hi Kristof,
The problem is that as soon as the serial port becomes active, the device stops displaying the output to the screen/keyboard so you'll really need an "old style" console cable to see what is really happening with your device.
More info: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/app_ntwk_services/waas/wae/installation/7341-7371/guide/7341gd/7300intr.html#wp1040804
You can connect a keyboard to any USB port and connect a monitor to the video connector to troubleshoot the BIOS boot process. However, video output is for troubleshooting only during the BIOS boot process. The video output stops displaying when the serial port becomes active. To monitor the boot process in normal operation, use the serial console port.
The Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connector is not supported.
The systems-management Ethernet connector is not supported.

Smf / sometimes does not configure network interfaces in single-user mode?

From http://groups.yahoo.com/group/solarisx86/message/14785
When booting into single user mode, I often get a message
on the console
t_optmgmt: System error: Cannot assign requested addressand only the loopback interface is configured (lo0 inet, and lo0 inet6).
The system's dnet0 interface is not plumbed any more. Configuration
for the dnet0 network interface is via a static ip address; hostname
in /etc/hostname.dnet0, and and ip v4 address for that hostname in
/etc/hosts. This was a Solaris 10 x86 system, but the same problem
has also been observed on Solaris 10 sparc, and the hme0
interface.
svcs -x in single-user mode reports no problems.
Changing to multi-user mode by typing Ctrl-D still does not
configure the real network interface.
One thing that I've noticed is that smf's log file
/etc/svc/volatile/network-physical:default.log
is missing, when the nic interface was not configured.
It seems that the problem with unconfigured network interfaces
does not happen when I boot directly into multi-user mode.
Why isn't the physical interface plumbed and configured when
booting into single user mode on S10 b69?

6. etc/resolv.conf
domain myhost.com

nameserver: 172.19.16.13
still domain name has't been set, i just wrote this, can anyone tell me how to find the domain name or create one. also the name server is just a fake, but how to find one. If i will be connecting my laptop to various IP whereever i go, so do i need to configure network setting again and again ? isn't there any auto network configuration so that i can connect internet where ever i go and let the system auto configure network settings like in windows XP auto IP configuration detect.
7. etc/nsswitch.conf
in this i can't see "hosts: files" but i could see rest of the details. so I inserted "hosts: files dns" in the third line and saved.
I ran the following command in the terminal to find the details:
#ypmatch host-name hosts
ypmatch: the domainname hasn't been set on this machine
(how to set domain name can anyone tell me?)
#move/etc/netmasks: not found
#uname -n
HOME
#cat/etc/nsswitch.conf
cat/etc/nsswitch.conf: not found
#domain name
domain: not found
#ypwhich
ypwhich: the domainname has'nt been set to this machine
#nismatch nameserver-name hosts.org-dir
hosts.org-dir: Error in accessing NIS+ cold file.......is NIS+ installed?
actually during installation i selected DNS type for network giving a wrong nameserver and domain got skipped later
#getent ipnodes dns (no response)
so all these things i did and found by seeing the forum guidelines. I can see the network connection has receivinh and sent packets seems to be working but can't browse internet, also can't ping a website.
if anyone had the same problem but found the answer than kindly let me know. I am new to solaris but i am trying my best.
awaiting reply from gurus
bye for now.................

Networking query - 'Another device using network'

Hi,
I keep getting a randomly timed message that another device is using my network even when there are none of my other network devices turned on. Setup is WPA2 Personal network and it is passworded.
Whatever it is seems to pick up IP addresses that I've previously listed as servers in Finder/Go/Connect. These were set up to facilitate file transfers to iPhone but I've made sure that the iPhones were turned off and I still get the message. I've tried clearing these server addresses out of Finder but they reappear on the list when I refresh the menu option: Finder/Go/Connect To Server.
Does this mean that someone is hacking my network and potentially using my internet?
Thanks,
Matthew

No other devices of mine use my wireless connection. I have long suspected someone of stealing my wireless service in order to cop my router's IP address. Could this message be indicative of someone outside my building using my wireless service?
Possibly. Do you secure your wireless network with WPA2 and use a strong password? Do you change this password periodically? If you can say "yes" to both, the chances of someone connecting to your network is extremely unlikely.
The other reason, you may be getting this warning is that the DHCP services, either on the server (router) or the wireless clients themselves are not configured properly. DHCP is used on the local network to assign Private IP addresses to network clients. These addresses, by default, are dynamic and will change on a set time period. If a network client is not configured properly it can "refuse" to accept a new address and can potentially have the same address that the DHCP server hands out to another device ... and thus, the warning message.

Domain join account for apply network settings step in task sequence

Hi Guys,
Just want to confirm that the domain join account credentials is in clear text during the winpe phrase. I understand we can a user account with just domain join access but it still a security breach for us. Is there an alternative? We are using SCCM 2012
R2. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The article
Task Sequence Steps in Configuration Manager shows the Apply Network Settings task sequence step store the specified values in the appropriate answer file format for use by Windows Setup when the
Setup Windows and ConfigMgr task sequence step is run. The account credentials stored in answer file should be in plain text.
If you are still worried about this, you could create a custom answer file to join domain. The article
Configure Settings in an Answer File in Image Configuration Editor shows the credentials are stored in plain text in the answer file.

HT3477 I am attempting to set up a guest network. When I change the Network settings to DHCP NAT I get a message that tells me that the service has a private IP address and so I must connect using off bridge mode. In this mode I can not connect to the int

I am attempting to set up a guest network on the Airport Extreme Base Station. The Base Station is connected to a DSL Modem. The network is also extended using an Airport Express. When I have attempted to set up the Base Station using DHCP NAT in the netword feature I get a message that because the service has a private IP address the only way that I can connect is in Off Bridge Mode. In this mode I do not seem to be able to connect to the internet using the guest network. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Ok, your Speedport is actually a combination DSL modem and wireless router. In this case you would typically configure a downstream router, like your AirPort Extreme in Bridge mode. Unfortunately, when in Bridge mode, the AirPort does NOT support providing a guest network.
The only possible option is to reconfigure the Speedport as a bridge and use the Extreme as your Internet router. You would still need the DSL modem provided by the Speedport for Internet connectivity.

Can I configure my network settings to use two different proxy configurations?

At work, I have a proxy server, but away I do not. I would like the correct proxy settings to load in each case. Currently, I use two different locations. This works acceptably, but I have to open my network settings and manually switch locations when my location changes. I have experimented with creating multiple ethernet ports. I can create a location with two ethernet ports, but I can't find a way to cause the correct one to activate. The first port in the search order is loaded even if the proxy is not found.
Please let me know if you can help with this. Thank you.

I'm not sure of another way to do what you want, but there should be a Location menu in the Apple menu. You don't need to open the network prefs to change locations.

Hi
I had such issue with the Windows Wlan configuration but only because I used an Intel ProSet Utility together with the Windows own option.
If the Intel ProSet Utility has started then the windows option has been disabled because the Intel ProSet Utility undertook the Wlan configuration
I think you should check if some 3rd party WLan tools are not loaded in the background

Network setup 'DHCP with manual address' changes to 'Using DHCP'

I have setup my local network with a manual address and have observed that the setting changes without my doing to simply Using DHCP. I can't get the setup to continue using a manually assigned ip address. Even though I've saved the network settings preferences, they revert to 'Using DHCP'. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If you "have setup (your) local network with a manual address," does that mean you have disabled DHCP in your router? If so, then you'd want to configure "manually" in your Sys Prefs > Network.
Or did you mean that you have setup a computer on your local network with a manual address using DHCP? (And that your router has DHCP enabled?)
If the router's DHCP is enabled, many routers will allow you to set aside a subset of IP addresses to the DHCP pool, and the remainder are, by definition, reserved for static addressing. Are you assigning the computer requiring a static IPA (but using DHCP defined gateway and subnet) an address falling within the static address range of your local subnet?
If you can't partition the address space between static IP addresses and DHCP-assigned IP addresses when DHCP is enabled, are you assigning a high-numbered IP address to the computer whose Sys Prefs has DHCP with manual address?

Network Settings: Configure IPv6, On or Off?

Hello everyone.
A while back I read on MacFixIt that some experience slowness in internet connection after 10.4.5 update, and it suggested turning 'off' the IPv6 setting inside the Network settings, found at the bottom of it.
I was curious and click the button to find my 'Configure IPv6' was set to 'Automatic'.
In any case, I did not experience any drastic change in the speed of my internet connection after the 10.4.5 update; and I actually turn off my IPv6 setting, which again no so much drastic change in speed.
So the question is: Should I leave it on at 'Automatic' or turn it off?
Info: My iMac is connected directly (wired) to my cable modem.
Thanks and cheers

I've tried it on & off & didn't notice any difference at all.
But - if you need to use stuffit expander - it'll crash on starting stuffit unless IPv6 is enabled. found that on stuffits forum after wondering why it suddenly wouldn't work.

I have recently unlocked my iPhone 4. I got the comforation saying it was unlocked. For some reason I cannot access my network settings? Any suggestions. I am trying to use the phone on Net 10 network.

I recently unlocked my iphone 4. I am trying to use it on Net 10's network. However, i cannot access the network settings. I have the Net10 Sim already in it. A few notes listed below of what i have tried:
1.) I downloaded the iphone configuation utility. But cannot get the right settings to apply. (so if you have the correct ones i could use those)
2.) i have watched 1000 youtube videos and been on practically every page online and tried 1000 different versions of APN settings through the configuration
3.) I do not have another SIM card from another carrier to try.
Open to suggestions on how i can get the APN settings to change. Not worried about picture messaging or anything, but would like my internet to work. Calls and text work fine.

i have seen this option..problem being...i dont have access to WIFI i live in the middle of ten buck too! We cant even get internet out here i have to go a friend house to get internet. I was going to try that once i did get to town but was looking for other options here at home frist.
