DHCP in Hotel does NOT work on OSX but DOES work in bootcamp

Staying at the shiny new rennisance hotel in boston MA. I have a Macbook Pro and 2 macbooks with me. with the wired ethernet, NONE of them will get an IP address. However, when I use bootcamp and boot into Vista, it works fine!
Any suggestions?

Funny you should ask - I had this same problem last night at the Residence Inn in Washington, DC. Even stranger for me, I found that my MBP could not obtain an IP, but when I ran Parallels, the Windows XP instance could connect. As Parallels was getting its network connection from the Mac OS, I still haven't figured how that was possible...
Regardless, is the hotel using iBahn? If so, I spent some time with the iBahn tech rep and was able to come up with a solution by setting all the network properties manually. Every time I renewed my DHCP lease, I would obtain an IP address (10.x.x.x) and hold it for about 2 seconds before it would disappear. By watching what IP address I was given, I was able to set up my Network Properties manually:
System Preferences -> Network -> Ethernet
Configure: Manually
IP Address: 10.x.x.x (whatever the DHCP server tries to give you)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.x.x.1 (where the first two x's are the same as your IP)
DNS Server: 172.16.2.5, 4.2.2.2
You might try calling iBahn if you need help with this. They can watch your network port (by telling them the hotel's phone number and your room number) and tell you what IP address the DHCP server is assigning to it.
I hope this helps!

    Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

    Safari 8.0.2 does not play any sound (but sound works in other apps).

    Hi Michaelgst,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you do not hear sound from Safari on your computer but you do hear sound in other applications. There may be several troubleshooting steps I would suggest to troubleshoot this situation. 
    The first troubleshooting steps I would recommend would be removing any unsupported third-party add-ons. Please use the information and instructions located in the attached article to complete this process.

    Run MDP to HDMI for picture. Use a cable like this to run sound from your audio out on your Mac to your TV's audio in.  That's about all  you can do.

  • I have an index page that does not correctly load css, but css works on all other pages in the site.

    http://www.boulderridgecondos.com/ does not load the css correctly, but ALL other pages in the site do load the css correctly. There is nothing different (that I can identify) between the pages.
    http://www.boulderridgecondos.com/news.htm
    I am guessing that there is something wrong in the css, I inherited this site and have gone over the css but can't find a issue that would cause this to occur.
    Any help or suggestions to research something would be appreciated.

    That page is saved as UTF-16 (Content-Type: text/html (BOM UTF-16, litte-endian)) in your text editor. The CSS file is send as ISO-8859-1. Firefox likes to see all files in the same encoding. The other pages are send as ISO-8859-1 and thus use that CSS file. You will have to re-save that page as ISO-8859-1 and upload that corrected version.

  • The platform does not support this application, but does under other account

    Okay the MSI Gaming App works just fine under my own account on my PC on which I am the administrator. So it isn't a driver related issue.
    Last week I created a second account for my son as he also like to play some games but I dont want him messing up my account.
    I wanted to start the MSI Gaming App on his account as my son was going to play a more graphic demanding game but the MSI Gaming App is only giving me the warning: the platform does not support this application.
    I checked the Security and Permissions for Authentication they all set like they should which works fine for other software and applications.
    Even when I try to run the app as administrator it keeps coming back with this warning.
    Anyone got clue why? Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious but till now I still didn't get the MSI Gaming App to run like it should. Some help please.

    1. What's your App version?
    2. What's the mobo/vga/specs of your son's pc?
    First of all thanks for the replies and future replies.
    1.
    Version 1.0.0.18
    2.
    My sons has his own profile/account on my pc so the hardware config and installed drivers are exact the same. And on my profile the App is working fine. So it has nothing to do with mobo/drivers/vga/specs. I already had installed the App before I created his own profile. As administrator I added all the needed permissions to the MSIGamingApp Properties Security Tab. Like I did with all other software he is running on his profile and which are working just fine. For example Teamspeak, Mumble, Several games, MSOffice and so on. I even set the Permissions to Full Control like on my Administrator profile. At the Permission Entry for MSIGamingApp I let the permissions be inherited from the parent object my administrator profile.
    If I would re-install and if during the installation windows would ask for whom the software should be accessible. I only would let Windows do exact the same as I did as administrator in the App Properties Security Tab. That the nice thing about being an admin. Create profile, set permissions and let users on your pc or network access software and applications already installed on the network. So that is why I find it weird this doesnt work.
    Also running the MSIGamingApp as Administrator on his profile gives the exact same warning.
    I do know how to add permissions to the security tab have been doing that several years for some job I had once.
    I could use Afterburner maybe but I don't trust him yet with making changes in Afterburner.
    The MSIGamingApp gives just enough controls OC-Gaming-Silent mode.
    And in case of trying a re-install of the App anyone got an url for a new version?
    Might have found it but it isn't on any MSI webpage.
    I did found something on Guru3D but I'm not aloud to post external links.
    Did found a url linking to a Torrent side but my Bullguard AV blocked this site instantly.
    So a clean url would be nice so to say.
    So weird I cant find this software on http://nl.msi.com/search/MSIGamingApp/product/1 or any other MSI site

  • LaCie HD does not mount via Firewire, but does via USB (in Tiger)

    I've read various posts on issues people faced when using a LaCie firewire HD after upgrading to Tiger. I never had any issues pre upgrade. I have installed the new firmware on my d2 250GB drive, at least I think I have. The drive will not mount when connected via firewire, but will when connected via USB. When I try running the update tool, it sees the drive and says there is no update available. Just to be clear, this is when the drive is connected via USB. The tool does not see the drive when connected via Firewire.
    My firewire is definitely working fine (tested with iSight).
    I've emailed LaCie, we'll see if that leads to anything. Any ideas???

    My Lacie ethernet mini is not working after Lion upgrade.
    Finally got an admission from Lacie that the login software won't work with 10.7 and they suggested going back to Snow Leopard . . .
    Apparently the login software cannot be changed or overwritten so now Lacie drives are obsolete when using Lion.
    I wish there was a way to wipe it clean and use it without the login software, but they couldn't suggest a way.
    I note you may have had better luck but I don't know how to use terminal, so I may have to junk it, or possibly take out the drive and buy a caddy for it?

  • Openaena does not find internet servers, but does find favorites

    Hi all,
    when i start openarena and then choose mulitplayer -> internet I get the message "No response from master server"
    Strangely, when I uncheck all boxes (only humans, hide private etc) and hit refresh, I do get a list of servers. When I then re-check the bottem 2 checkboxes I still get a list of servers.
    I don't get it. Does anybody know what causes this serverlist to sometimes to not show up?

    First try, when openarena does find 73 servers, but does give the message "no response from master server":

    The alternate method would be something like this (see link below).  There are different instructions for bridging your modem depending on which dsl modem you have.  You'd just have to google for them.  You won't be able to login to the dsl modem after you bridge using the 192.168.1.254, but if for some reason you wanted to.......you'd just have to press and hold the reset button on the dsl modem for around 10 seconds with a ballpoint pen to take it out of bridge mode.  Of course you would have to put it back in to bridge mode if you wish to continue with this setup.
    After you put your AT&T dsl modem in to bridge mode, you more or less use the default factory settings on the WRT120 except for the following:
    1. Change connection type to PPPoE
    2. Enter your AT&T dsl account's user name and password
    3  Set MTU to manual and enter 1492
    4. Make sure "keep alive" for 30 seconds is enabled
    5. Change your wireless security to WPA or preferably WPA2 and use a strong password
    6. Change your router's password....don't use admin.  
    7. Connect wan to wan (internet port to internet port) on dsl modem and your WRT120n
    and you should have internet with no problems.  If it won't connect to internet, just unplug both the dsl modem and the WRT120 for 30 seconds and reboot your computer and plug the dsl modem and WRT120 back in.  If your wireless signal fluctuates, you can try changing the channel on the WRT120.
    Here is a program called inSSIDer that helps you determine what wireless channels that other people are using in your proximity so you can find a channel that is available (not in use).

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.  Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Client_text_io does not write the file but does create it.

    Hello there!
    I have a form which generates a .txt file using client_text_io webutil function.
    this is the procedure:
    PROCEDURE CREA_FILE IS
    MYFILE CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
    OUTFILE CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
    MFILE VARCHAR2(1000);
    MLINE VARCHAR2(5000);
    RESP NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    MLINE:='LINE TO WRITE...';
    MFILE := C:\test.txt;
    OUTFILE := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN(MFILE,'w');
    CLIENT_TEXT_IO.put_line(OUTFILE, MLINE || ' 123');
    CLIENT_TEXT_IO.Fclose(OUTFILE);
    EXCEPTION
         WHEN OTHERS THEN
         CLIENT_TEXT_IO.Fclose(MYFILE);
         message('ERROR: '||SQLERRM);
    END;
    It works on OAS 10g + forms 10g. the file is created fine, BUT I have tried with forms 11g unsuccessful.
    My forms 11g are running under weblogic and the RedHat server.
    Im running the forms app from my laptop Windows XP.
    I configured webutil as the MOS note said, the thing is, the file is created, but no data is writted.
    I can open the file test.txt but the line I tried to print is not there, the same thing with 10g and the file is good.
    help me please.

    What are you doing after writing to the file? Are you leaving the form? Forms performs event bundling when sending data over to java beans;
    v_FILE_HANDLE := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN (FPATH, 'W'); most certainly uses get_custom_property at the end to retrieve the file handle from the bean which will cause a "synchronize" as data must be retrieved from the bean before continuing in the PL/SQL code whereas
    CLIENT_TEXT_IO.Put_line(v_FILE_HANDLE,v_string_prov);
    CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE (v_FILE_HANDLE); most certainly uses set_custom_property which is a one-way street and data is bundled up and sent as one package. If you have e.g. a exit_form right after those calls there is a chance that forms waits for some other data to be sent over to the bean but won't send it, as the form doesn't exist anymore after the exit_form. The same would happen if you'd do a
    v_FILE_HANDLE := CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FOPEN (FPATH, 'R');
    CLIENT_TEXT_IO.FCLOSE (v_FILE_HANDLE); right after writing your form as fopen will cause the sync (with the possibility that java will still hold a file lock on the file as the fclose method won't be called).
    cheers

  • Wifi Does Not detect my network but does others

    Hi there,
    I managed to get great responses last time I had an issue and now I'm back.
    Here's the issue and I will also say what I've tried so far to fix it.
    ISSUE
    On-and-off my laptop cannot detect (and hence join) my own Wi-Fi network, even when right next to the router. My neighbours' networks are all visible.
    This issue is not consistent and is sporadic.
    It is not a hardware issue - I'm currently (reluctantly) logged into my Windows partition and am happily using my Wi-Fi connection through that.
    It's not a router issue as
    a) It's a new router
    b) I can connect through Windows (as can my wife on her netbook)
    c) My iPod Touch connects no problem.
    My network is not a hidden network, it is fully visible. It is, of course, a secured network and no-one but me knows the password to the admin panel of the network.
    _WHAT I'VE TRIED_
    a) Restarting the computer doesn't fix it
    b) Removing the connection settings from 'Networks' and restarting it doesn't fix it
    c) Deleting the system preferences list from Library|SystemConfig|Preferences doesn't fit it.
    d) Turning the router off for a while and then back on doesn't fix it.
    e) I've just done a DiskWarrior check and that didn't fix it.
    I have also done a complete reinstall of Leopard and then restored my files etc from my external hard drive (configured to use Time Machine).
    I don't know whether I've covered everything, but it's certainly a start.
    A couple of weird things - sometimes leaving it overnight means it re-finds my network - but no explanations. And the fact that this issue is inconsistent.
    Please help, as I really am getting tired of it (I've tried working around it for a couple of weeks now) and am out of ideas.
    Many thanks in advance,
    Martin

    Hi Martin,
    It sounds to me like an IP address problem.
    Under "Applications" go to "System preferences", then under "Internet & Network" select "Network" Select the kind of network you want to connect to, go to advanced under "TCP/IP" It should say "Using DHCP"
    Write down the IP address.
    Try renewing the DHCP lease. Then try connecting to the network.
    If that doesn't work, find a computer that can connect to the internet and check the IP address of that computer the first three sets of numbers should match the IP address you wrote down, if they don't normally I would have to tell you to go through terminal and find an unused IP address to select, but considering you probably are never going to access the network through both parts of the partition at the same time, you can safely use the IP address that Windows has. How to get that IP Address I can't really help you with though...
    Once you pull the IP address that the windows side is using go back to the advanced settings page and select "use DHCP with manual IP address" in the space for IP address enter said IP address, and click apply. And hopefully you will be having a grand ol' time on the web.

  • When I save a bank statement as a text file or spreadsheet file it does not convert the transactions but does the rest?

    The header showing the bank name and the account details and the conditions are done and the end balance is done and the footer information but the middle is ignored.

    Dear cor-el, wow you are quick. I understand you better now, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to write to you in dutch, only if you are Dutch yourself.
    Anyway, first the location bar is what I call the address bar.
    Second I work very simple and easy. I never use the address bar when I'm looking for a website.
    I just type the name of whatever I'm looking for in the empty bar on my google page and wait for the response.
    Third, most of the sellers I buy from on ebay, I just discovered by accident and I immediately saved them in my favorites bar.
    So if I need to go to their website(s) I just go to my favorites bar and click on the name of the seller(s) I'm looking for.
    Now to answer the question from your earlier letter, the URL's I'm trying to save are those from the webpage(s) I open on the websites I visit and not from the website(s) itself.
    The second part of your last letter from " You can modify......" is too difficult for me to understand.
    If it's important I'll ask a friend, a mainframe specialist to explain it to me.
    Thanks again for help. Regards, Ruiz
