Customer used IP address instead of domain name

A customer of mine used the IP address in his XML feed instead of the domain name. I recently moved servers not knowing that he had done this and the old server is gone. How can I help him fix this? I have already gone into his xml and changed every one of the IP addresses to reflect the NEW address, but I am not certain that this will help.
Thanks.

That's a good start. Problem is that when he submitted his podcast he probably used the IP address there as well. iTunes is probably still looking at the IP address URL. Changing the URL that iTunes has on file for a podcast is tricky. There are only two ways to do it. Either by using a 301 redirect on the old server which will point iTunes in the direction of the new server and feed or by using the <itunes:new-feed-url> tag in the OLD XML file on the old server to point it in the correct direction. By either method, iTunes needs to be able to access the old location in order to update it to the new one. If the IP address and server no longer exist and can't be recreated the only other solution, removing and re-submitting the feed may be the only option.

Without NetInfo Manager I have to use IP address instead of computer name

Great. [/sarcasm] Removing NetInfo Manager from Leopard has just made my life a lot harder. Back with 10.4 I simply used NetInfo Manager (after a little research) to add what were basically HOSTS file entries for all the computers in our extended private network that I need to remote control.
I would use a software VPN to connect to the private network side of my client's office:
* Cisco VPNClient (software VPN) Version 4.9.01
...and then use remote control to connect to the servers I need to work with:
* Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac - Version 1.0.3
Given that the software VPN disables other communications like... DNS lookups... then you're forced to manually enter the lookups yourself into the HOSTS file. Given that OS X 10.4 had NetInfo Manager then that wasn't necessarily a problem. Over time, I entered all the machines I had to talk to.
After my upgrade last night to OS X 10.5 I now find that it's removed those entries, removed my access to the HOSTS file and even changed completely the mechanism behind-the-scenes. The help system suggests reading up on Open Directory administration.
I've tried a variety of work-arounds and none work, given the software VPN restrictions as combined with Apple's complete removal of what I originally put into my HOSTS file.
*So now I have to memorize all the IP addresses of all the private machines I routinely connect to.* This is stupid and frankly ridiculous from a company that's supposed to have a simple interface for its users. If I am to enter these values again manually I need to now become a UNIX geek somehow to figure out how to manipulate some entry system. I now run the risk of accidentally rebooting the wrong server if I use the wrong IP address.

I eventually found the wiki page on NetInfo Manager... which had a bibliographical reference to a page that yields the following how-to:
Finder - Applications - Utilities - Terminal:
To add a HOSTS file entry (effectively) for the host name "www1" to the IP address "10.1.1.1":
sudo dscl localhost -create /Local/Default/Hosts/www1 IPAddress 10.1.1.1
To delete it again:
sudo dscl localhost -delete /Local/Default/Hosts/www1
You'll need the root password when prompted.

When I imessage it uses my email instead of my name

When I text other people with an iphone imessage uses my email instead of my name. How do I fix that? One of my friends thought I was spam because of this.

If you choose not to use your email address, then delete it from there, or go down to caller ID and select the one you want as default.

HT3529 when i send a text/imessge why does the person recieving it see my email address instead of my name?

when i send a text/imessage why does the person receiving it see my email address instead of my name??

iMessage requires both parties be using iOS 5. The iPhone 3 can not be upgraded to iOS 5, thus messages would be sent as an SMS (Text message)

How to Setup RDS custom property when internal and external domain name space is different

Hi All
I am setting up RDS for customer
My internal domain name is domain.local and my external domain is domain.com
I came across below PowerShell cmdlets on some blogs because my internal and external name space are different
Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName QuickSessionCollection -CustomRdpProperty “use redirection server name:i:1 `n alternate full address:s:remote.domain.com”
In above command, remote.domain.com points to which host?
Is it pointing to RD Session Broker
OR
Pointing to RD Session Host servers
I am not sure what above command will do exactly ?
Any help will be highly appreciated
Thanks Best Regards Mahesh

Hi,
It all depends who is accessing the RDS Solution.
If you have a large BYOD or large number of external users, it would be better to use a public certificate.
Have a look at the following script which will simplyfy the configuration of the RDSH hosts with certificates.
http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2014/05/20/rds-2012-rdsh-certificate-deployment-script/
You can use a custom RDP property to hide the Session host names.
Have a look at the following article on configuring certificates:

Prompt shows IP address instead of domain/host

Our server is setup at 10.0.1.1 (actually it is at public IP address. Here I am giving this like that). Our DNS server (on another system) maps this IP to ourdomain.net. Everything was working fine. If anyone logs into the server, he will get prompt like this:
ourdomain:~
All of a sudden, this started showing our IP address instead of ourdomain at the prompt. DNS is working fine. I checked host and dig. But for some reason, IP address is showing up. How can I fix this ?
Appreciate any help.
Thanks !

You mean when logging in using ssh?
You say you checked the DNS but is this IP used publicly and the DNS IP used on that server you own ("public") DNS which is the DNS responsible for public lookups (SOA) of that servername/domain?
If it is a public server and the DNS is correct any public DNS IP/server (which allows recursion from your IP) can be used on that server to look itself up.
What does "hostname" in terminal on that server say?
Remove any HOSTNAME=-ourdomain.net- from /etc/hostconfig on that server.

Terminal-IP address instead of computer name is showing

Hi, my computer is behaving strangely lately and I noticed that in terminal the host name is displayed like this:
c-XX-XXX-XX-XX-XXX:~ myusername%
with XX numbers corresponding to my actual IP address
When I looked in my 1 month old backup, it is displayed correctly there with an actual drive name.
In addition, the current shell is tsch, despite the fact that I am running OSX10.4.11 where it is supposed to be bash as far as I understand.
Is displaying IP address in terminal instead of computer name normal? If not, how to reset this?
Any help would be much appreciated.

BDAqua,
My report:
1. Moved preferences.plist from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist into trash.
2. rebooted.
3. Computer now shows [localhost] in terminal as a host name-success. However, now Internet does not work.
4. Went to System preferences>Network>Built-in-Ethernet. There was a blank page (all settings gone).
5. No matter. Inputed comcast.net in Search domains field (Comcast is my provider). Clicked on Apply now. All settings came back, internet works.
6. Now Terminal again shows my IP as a host name, but at least I know that this change came from Comcast.
Unexpected benefit: Apparently this procedure got rid of annoying "Your settings are being modified by another application" bug-Good to know, thanks.
Conclusion: For some reason Comcast sees fit to modify Terminal settings.
Big thanks for making the problem clearer.

Forcing IP address instead of host name in IOR

Hi Folks,
I am using BEA Weblogic Enterprise 5.1 for CORBA development in C++.
I am generating IOR using ORB's object_to_string() method, and we send IORs to
our clients. By default, the host name will be included in the IOR.
I would like to force IP address of the machine instead of host name. (Because
you know, this will cause to update DNS servers or /etc/hosts file, and we dont
want to get into that complications). If we provide the IP address in IOR, then
clients can access our CORBA server without worrying about host name mangling.
Could you help me out how to implement this in BEA WLE 5.1 using C++. In ORBIX
3.0.1, there is an ORB command to achieve this. ( CORBA::ORB::useHostNameInIOR(FALSE)
). Anybody is aware of the similar functionality in WLE ?
Thanks in advance.
Paran

In the UBBCONFIG file change the ISL -n switch to have the IP address of the host rather
than the host name. Another choice would be to use the the -H switch on the ISL, although
for what you want this would not be the preferred choice.

Same IP address and multiple domain names

Hi all,
Is it possible to have multiple domain names sharing the same IP address? For example, I want www.mydomain1.com, www.mydomain2.com, and www.mydomain3.com to share the same IP. Thanks.
Mike Lam

Thanks JavaApplet,
but I'm still having the same problem,
I have typed
in both server.xml and apps-abc.xml and apps-123.xml:
In server.xml:
<Host Name= "www.abc.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
<Context path="/abc" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\abc" ...>
</Context>
</Host>
<Host Name= "www.123.com.sg" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
<Context path="/123" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\123" ...>
</Context>
</Host>
So in apps-abc.xml:
<Host Name= "www.abc.com" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
<Context path="/abc" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\abc" ...>
</Context>
</Host>
So in apps-123.xml:
<Host Name= "www.123.com.sg" debug="0" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true">
<Context path="/123" doc="c:\Tomcat3.3a\webapps\123" ...>
</Context>
</Host>
but how come, the www.123.com.sg still doesn't work, it kept displaying the page cannot be found. It's very funny because if I typed www.abc.com/123/index.jsp, surprisingly the page can be displayed.
This is a very tough problem for me and I have spent a long time troubleshooting this problem.
Hope that some advice can be given ... thank a million

Creating website with 3rd party server using blogspot or wordpress's domain name?

Hi all!
I just wonder...
I am now offered a free hosting service and I want to create my personal site with iWeb.
Questions come:
I don't really wish to buy a domain since the free service only last for half a year and I just want to try out blogging...
Is it possible for me to use create a iWeb made site using blogspot or wordpress domain and 3rd party hosting service?
Thanks in advance. Coz i really have no experience on this

The short answer is no. WordPress and Blogspot are two totally different things and are blogging systems and you can use these for free, but what you do is create a username and your blog is then pubished to WordPress servers etc., so your blog url is then http://username.wordpress.com.
If you want to create a site with iWeb and avail yourself of free hosting and upload there, then you'll need to register a domain name.
Wordpress, iWeb and Blogspot are totally different and the only way in which you can use both is to create your site in iWeb and then upload to the free hosting and just create a link from your iWeb site to your blog created with either WordPress or Blogspot.

Outlook Email Receiving only with Outgoing SMTP IP address instead of domain URL

I am new in domain system, i set up domain controller myself at my office, every thing was working fine, but after 3 or 4 days outlook was unable
to receive email on client machines. the only way i find was to enter ip address of my domain (i have purchased and hosted from third party) in outgoing SMTP Server address. emails are receiving well without ip but only error is at receiving.
i dont know where i am wrong. this is annoying too much.
plzzz rsolve my issue.
Thanks in advance

Hi Salman,
According to your description, Outlook on client machines couldn’t receive emails until entered IP address of the Outgoing SMTP server? What about sending emails, are there any issues?
In addition, have you tried to run NSlookup.exe in command prompt as Sean suggested?
More information for you:

When connecting to website using sso, packet sniffing shows ntlm user is using {server name}\{user name} instead of {domain name}\{user name}

I moved to windows 7 and firefox 12 and my internal website via the servername (not FQN) is now prompting me for the username and password in firefox. I do not get prompted for a username and password when using IE9 to access the site via servername (not FQN).
packet sniffing shows IE9 is using my windows domain as the windows domain. packet sniffing shows Firefox is using the web servers servername as the domain.
If I use the fully qualified server name then firefox authenticates successfully. this is not a problem on my winxp workstation with firefox 12.

The only time it fails is in windows 7 and the address used of HTTP://servername. I updated the above post to show it works in XP with ff12.
There is no proxy server involved.
I am logged into the domain.
If I use the fully qualified servername as the address it works. Http://servername.domain.local

Use TCP, UDP, or other to communicate with UUT using MAC address instead of IP address

I want to verify that the Ethernet port on my UUT works.
My plan was to ping the UUT and verify that I got a response. However, the UUTs will come to test with an IP that I cannot use on the network. [Please don't ask me to explain why -- the IT group has their rules, and rules are rules after all . . . ]
I can query the UUT (via the serial port) for it's MAC address. But I cannot find any LabView VIs, or DOS executables which use the MAC address as a parameter to invoke a response from the device.
Does anybody have an idea of how I can verify the UUT Ethernet port without having to divorce myself from the company network and set up my own private network? [Oh and by the way, before somebody suggests it, the IT group won't let me put a 2nd network card in my PC -- rules are rules after all . . . .]

I wouldn't worry too much about the address shown in the Remote Management tab. The ARDAgent process, which is what is listening on his computer for connections from Remote Desktop, binds to all active network interfaces and ultimately that's all that matters. Of out curiosity though, to what IP address does the "unknown-b8-8d-##-##-##-##.home" dns name resolve? Is it the WAN address? I can't imagine it resolves to a private address like a 192.168.
In any event, let's focus back on the network structure. Does the BT router have both a hard wired LAN ethernet port as well as a WiFi radio for LAN connections? My guess is yes. I am also assuming that he does *not* have another router attached to the BT LAN ethernet port like an Airport basestation that is serving the WiFi connections. Typically, the LAN ethernet port is given, via DHCP, a real Internet accessible address but the addresses served via DHCP for wireless clients are private network addresses only. It's seems unlikely to me that the router is automatically forwarding incoming connections to a private network address on the WiFi network. But if he plugs his Mac in to the ethenert LAN port on the BT router then you should be able to connect directly to the address given to it via DHCP because it *should* be a real Internet accessible address.

Why do some of my text messages get received "from" my email address instead of contact name?

WHen I send text messages, sometimes my email address appears in the receipients message box instead of my contact name. This also results in multiple people sometimes receiving the message (those set up under my apple id)...any ideas? I'm thinking it has to do with the SMS messaging setup.

Its because you are sending them as iMessages and not SMS.
If you want to turn iMessage off, go to settings, messages and turn it off.
