DHCP not issuing IP's, SIU Problems

Upgraded to 10.5 server from 10.4.11 Server and I am having a few problems.
Number 1
I am trying to get NetBoot Running again but none of my systems are recognizing the server. I have checked the logs and everything is looking great except that I see DHCP requests coming through (MAC address' are in the log) but the server is not distributing the IP to the machines. The log file reports the subnet is not right.
Number 2
I am trying to create factory restores for new macs. When using SIU I am having trouble getting the program to recognize that there are usually two DVD's that come with macs for restores. I tried having the unit select packages but that does not come up with anything. When I run the image workflow it does not even ask for the second disk which has a lot of bundled software. Any help would be appreciated!

I was having various DHCP problems, it was telling me the start IP wasn't within the range, although it clearly was - try making a new subnet with the same details then restart the service.
Also check directory utility on the client machines, if they are running leopard too, I noticed a but where if it was set to automatically discover the server via DHCP the search policy for authentication had to be set to a custom path not automatic, else the clients were getting self signed IP's instead of DHCP assigned.

  • Help! Can't Connect, DHCP Not Issuing Correct IP Address

    I get an vDSL connection and have a home LAN set up with both Ethernet and Airport. Usually, when a computer connects through DHCP, it gets an AP Address of 192.168.0.x, "x" being a number higher than 1, depending on when it connected to the network. My desktop iMac works fine in this regard, with an internal IP address of 192.168.0.5, and the router being 192.168.0.1.
    The problem: My Powerbook also used to do this fine, but suddenly this morning it could not connect to the network via Airport or Ethernet, with one or the other turned off, or both turned on.
    The key: via Ethernet, the DHCP automatically sets to 10.0.1.4, with the router as 10.0.1.1--which, if I am not mistaken, is the Airport address system. But this is not under "Airport" in the Network control panel, it's under "Ethernet," and thus my problem. I cannot get the danged IP Address to go back to the correct Ethernet address! I tried restarting, turning Airport off, renewing the DHCP license, and trying the assistant features--nothing worked. My Powerbook is completely offline--and I have to use this for my workj in just a few hours!
    Help! Thanks!

    OK, never mind. It turns out that I had plugged in the ethernet cable to the wrong port on the Airport base station. Somehow that was mucking everything up. I switched the port, and now it works fine.

  • DHCP not issuing IP System Preferences/Ethernet failure

    I have 10.4.6 running a dhcp connection and it stopped recognizing my ethernet connection one day. I have troubleshooted it and zapped pram not been able to get it to recognize when my ethernet is plugged in or system preferences to recognize ethernet as an option, even when I configure it to.
    I see this is pretty common. Does anyone know what to do?
    Thanks
    David

    Since I just got through installing a replacement NIC for a customer, because lightning took out his factory ethernet interface, I thought I might share.
    We knew lightning had struck, because all of the network devices were disabled. On the Mac that got damaged, the ethernet interface failed to appear in the hardware list of the System Profiler.
    If you're not seeing any adaptor, and you're reset the PRAM, then it's possible your adaptor was damaged by external forces. Could even be from a static discharge. In that case; for $5, you can install a new network interface card (NIC). Be sure to read Tim's posts about generic cards that are supported by Apple's standard drivers (don't require a driver).
    Then again, you may have a completely different problem!

  • DHCP not issuing DNS to client.

    My xServer is using OSX Server 10.4.10 and is our networks DHCP server. When I set a client machine to automaticaly get its settings it correctly gets its IP address, Subnet Mask and Gateway. However it will not connect to the internet until I add the DNS settings manually.
    I cannot find any reason why this should be. This must be some stupid setting I am missing, any help would be very kind.

    It is a new server and I have been trying to configure it. It does not work properly and I have turned to these forums in the hope that somene here would be able to tell m what I have done wrong. Kostas I don't really understand why you are asking me this.
    Wjat I have should be a ver simple thing to configure I a have a network which is going to use the xServe as its Gateway, DCHP Server and mail server. I have allocated the mailserver the internal I address of 192.168.101.40 and my ISP has given me an ip of 62.49.189.82 for the WAN side. At the moment it seems to work, except for three things, which may be related(DNS, FTP & Host names), my plan was to fix the first and see if the others goes away.
    The first problem is that client machines are not recieving the DNS settings and so they cannot connect to the internet unless I manually provide them with the ip address of the xServer.
    I have submitted a couple of screenshots via pdf documents to show you my settings, and I will be very greatful if you can see what I have done wrong. Have I provided enough information for someone to be able to help me. Most of the settings I have made I copied from my old machine (A Cobalt Qube) which the xServe replaces. Until the Qube failed it worked without any problems for 5 years. I don't understand why it is that this server seems so much more difficult to configure than the Qube.
    Apple has a good reputation for providing easy to configure machines, this software seems to have bypassed the QC check on software design.

  • Display issue / possible video card problem but I'm not sure

    Over the last couple of days twice now I've had this frantic burst of random shapes take over my screen rendering operation useless until a restart.
    Take a look: http://i15.tinypic.com/6q94ufp.png
    Yes, I have been able to take a screenshot as you can see.
    It happens most often during space switching (via accessing spaces, and then clicking on a square I want to go to), as well as QuickLook activation, or video playing. Anyone want to help me sort this out so I can get back to normal with my Mac?
    This Mac has also randomly shut down twice now, and this might be related, but I don't know.

    I am linking my thread to this one:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6305391
    Having exact same problem on iMac 20" which has different display chip (ATI X1600), which outcloses the manufacturer. Now when I think of it the problem usually appeared during Spaces desktop switching but I think once or twice it happened inside a windowed game screen (suddenly one object like a character puffs into random polygons, then it spreads to normal desktop windows too.)
    I am currently downgraded to Tiger form Leopard to test if this was a leopard issue (never had this problem in tiger in the past.)
    Also RAM on my iMac is the default that Apple shipped it with (2x 800MHz non-ecc 512MB so-dimms.)

  • Internet DHCP/DNS issues with WRT1900ac

    I've had a WRT1900ac now for about 2 weeks and the problems seem to be escalating.  Need help.  And yes, I've already read dozens of threads about these issues and nothing seems to be working.
    Most of the problems seem to be centered around this DHCP/DNS issue that so many have been reporting.
    First, the symptoms:
    Galaxy S4 phones when connected via wifi have some apps that don't update (facebook and google play)
    Some computers (both Win 7) will connect to the network just fine, both wired and wireless - but won't be able to get to the internet
    I've spent the last 2-3 days of my life reading forums and trying all sorts of things to get this to work properly (like my old router) and I'm still stuck.  Some things I've tried:
    Firmware is up-to-date (latest version: 1.1.8.164461)
    Manually assigned static DNS in router config settings (connectivity -> local network) to various combinations including the router address, 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, 75.75.75.75, 75.75.76.76 (I have comcast), OpenDNS addresses, etc.  I read that the router address is not needed, so I stopped including it.
    I manually assigned IPs and DNS on the Galaxy S4 phones and that seemed to work... but also seems unnecessary.
    I've reserved DHCP addresses on the computers in question, that didn't seem to work, I also manually set DNS on one of the comupters (can't on the other... long story/not my computer) and that worked for a while and then stopped working.
    The only way to get one of the computers on the internet now is to turn on the guest network (even though the computer is hard wired to the router), connect, and then the wired network works.  No clue why this is, but my guess is that it needs the guest network for DNS, then it fails back over to the wired network.  Once that happens, I can actually turn off the wifi on the computer and everything works great... until I reboot.  Key point: I can't change any settings on that box other than entering in SSID/passphrase info for the wireless connection.  I can connect to the regular (non-Guest) wifi just fine - I just can't ever get to the internet.
    I've tried massaging DHCP settings on the router until I'm blue in the face - Static DNS, reserving DHCP addresses, hell I even put one of the computers in the DMZ to see if that would work and it still can't connect to the internet (it's worth noting that with my old router, Linksys WRT310N, the setup was literally plug-and-play - no hassle with any of this).
    I've tried countless router reboots, factory resets, turning off my modem and router for 2+ minutes, and nothing is working.
    I even read somewhere that if you modify your DHCP settings at all that the WRT1900ac stops doing DNS properly and breaks, so I even tried several "hard" factory resets and used all the default DHCP/DNS settings.  And it worked... for a few hours.
    Seriously, I'm at my wit's end.  I'm out a lot of money on this thing and it's been one headache after another.  Please help.

    I think for most people its a bad idea to hold out that hope, lol. It seems like a great piece of hardware but if you really need a router and don't want to have to 'play' with it, its probably not a good choice. I have an EA6900 that I am very happy with but it has the same restrictions as far as DNS and I really hate the idea that I am forced to use the smartwifi portal. I would really like for them to give me a choice of the old gui or the new one and let ME decide. Lots of routers to choose from out there now and new ones seem to be coming out all the time so do some reading and see if something suits you better. Good luck!

  • Dhcp not allocating addresses

    My network is managed by Mac Mini Server (Lion) with an Airport Extreme.
    I have the wireless set up as WPA2 Enterprise with the Radius Server, Open Directory, DNS and DHCP running on my Mac Mini Server.
    In the past week, possibly since the last updates were applied, all wireless devices are having real issues connecting to the network. They are authenticating OK but an address is either never assigned or appears after 5 or ten minutes. To verify this I tried to connect iPad. This was set to use DHCP and the wifi symbol appears intermittently at the top of screen but on the networks page a spinning wheel appears next to the network name and the address details (i.e local address, router, DNS, etc.) are all empty. If I configure for manually entered address details the deveice connects immediately and works fine. Switching back to DHCP and the problem comes back (i.e. connects to wifi but no address is ever allocated).
    Any ideas on why DHCP would suddenly stop working. I have tried restarting the service, rebooting the Airport, rebooting the server but nothing seams to fix it. Every thing was working just fine for the past 6 months.

    Thanks for reply.
    Router is:
    Netopia ADSL Gateway 3346N-002
    4 port 10/100 Ethernet built-in
    The settings in the Control Panel didn't show anything of note. 
    What's interesting is that when the user's laptop went back to the hotel again today, the same issue cropped again -- hotel's DHCP not giving IP Address.   The office DHCP server was assigning no problem.
    Then...  I checked Access Connections Profiles and noticed that "Disable this wireless radio when switching to a different location" was not checked for any profiles. 
    I checked off on all profile and then the hotel DHCP made the connection. 
    I did read somewhere that a possible fix is to do an IPCONFIG/RELEASE * and then do an immediate Shutdown/Restart.  Issue is that I didn't have this option on the user's laptop before I made the Access Connections fix. 
    Please reply to clarify or add anything -- I appreciate your quick response because I spent 4 additional hours last night.

    Hi saiyed adil, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    It appears that your iPhone 5s sometimes produces low sound, but a restart corrects it. 
    It can take some time to isolate and resolve intermittent issues like this one, and I'd recommend going through the steps in this guide the next time it occurs:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support

  • Myriad iTunes sync issues - song cutoffs - artwork problems - yeech!

    Hi all,
    I’m running the latest version of iTunes on a (late 2013) Macbook Pro Retina laptop, and having several different flavors of syncing issues with my two devices –  a 16 gb iPhone 4S running iOS 7.1, and a 32 gb iPod Touch 3rd Gen running iOS 5.1.1.
    As best I can tell, some syncing issues such as one of the ones I am experiencing (songs chopped-off when transferred and attempted to playback from the device) have existed in some way, shape or form for nearly 10 years now, so I’m not expecting any grand revelations here - but just looking for some honest advice on how to resolve in the shortest amount of time & with the least pain considering I have a fairly large music library in terms of syncing time required.  That being said, below bulleted-out are my current issues / frustrations / thoughts on where the problems may lie.   I would appreciate any advice:
    Purchased iTunes songs (ripped MP3’s from CD’s that I own and tracks from other sources do not seem to have the problem…) play fine in iTunes on my laptop, but when transferred to either my iPhone or iPod, they will randomly (it’s not every track) be cutoff near the end of the song.  Sometimes the song will stop with 2 minutes remaining and go silent. Sometimes it will stop with 15 seconds remaining and go silent.  Sometimes it will stop somewhere in that time range and start the next track on the album while still displaying the info from the previous track.  The only solution I have found to this for purchased content thus far is to wipe everything out, and go back and download the tracks from the cloud.  I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 1000 tracks that fall into this category, so my options to download directly to the device an artist at a time are kind of time-consuming and cumbersome.  Would this have something to do with the file format of purchased tracks vs. ripped ones? I have a lot of older ripped material that was imported as MP3’s or MP3’s converted to M4A’s that never seems to have this problem.  The newer purchased files are mostly ACC’s which DO have the problem.   Also would this have anything to do with the fact that my library (including most of the purchased content) was recently moved over and imported to a new Macbook from a Windows backup?  Most of my iTunes library was Windows / PC for the majority of its existence for the past decade or so; we only recently switched back to Mac.
    Discrepancies between deleting material on a device vs. what iTunes recognizes when it is plugged back in:  The other day, being frustrated with the random song chopping, I deleted everything on my iPod Touch 3rd Gen by going into Settings, Options, General, and “Usage” and then “Edit” and selecting to wipe out everything in iTunes. The device appeared to do this, and I was showing 28 gb or so free out of 32 once it completed.  Great, right?  I proceeded the rest of that day to painstakingly download approx. 900 tracks from the cloud onto the device, hoping to correct the chopping issue.  It did this, and I still had roughly 10 gb free. Great, right?  Later that night when I plugged the iPod into my Macbook with the 30 pin to sync, iTunes on the laptop for some reason still recognized the songs which I thought I had deleted hours earlier and showed me multiple copies of everything.  For the ones that had been deleted, when I clicked to play them on the iPod through iTunes, I got the little gray exclamation point - ! – in a circle like when a track has moved libraries and cannot be found.  iTunes then told me my sync could not be completed due to being over capacity on the device by a ridiculous 12 gb or something like that. Huh?? I could have gone through and manually deleted the (by that point more than 1000) duplicate tracks and synced to have made room I suppose – but after accidentally hitting Autofill – iTunes threw up its hands and would not let me do anything further.  Any attempts at that point to delete either pending Autofill tracks or missing duplicate tracks just led to endless spinning on the “Preparing Update” notice on the device which led to me having to kill iTunes.  Can you say big-time frustration?  I eventually opted to restore the iPod to factory (iOS 5.1.1) settings and start over.  That device is currently at home slogging through the process of attempting to re-download 400 some songs from the cloud over wi-fi so that I can avoid the cutoff track problem.  The plan after that is to sync playlists for certain artists over top of the purchased tracks so that my ripped tracks can merge with them to round out the playlist. Do you see how this is beginning to become a marathon?  
    Last but not least - it seems to be just since the last few iTunes upgrades for Mac, but I’m having a huge problem suddenly with album artwork staying synced properly. After one recent manual transfer session (30 pin between the iPhone and the Macbook) roughly half of the tracks I transferred had mismatched artwork.  Doing this through the cloud (downloading tracks “Not on this iPhone” via the iTunes app) doesn’t seem to have the same problem, but of course this takes longer. Also, what is the deal with “Show All Music” in iOS 7 and playing tracks from the cloud?  This is a really cool feature that allows you to save a ton of disk space on your device, but I have found that when I do this that many tracks have mismatched artwork.  For example right now I’m listening to a Grateful Dead song that is displaying Genesis artwork.  Huh?? Artwork is less of a big deal than the track lengths being chopped off, but it’s still annoying.
    iTunes revolutionized the music industry and on the whole has been fantastic.  But it seems as if lately, little irritating problems like the syncing issues are becoming more and not less prevalent, and the problem is they aren't being dealt with.  I got my first Mac in college nearly 20 years ago now, and have been generally entrhalled with Apple products ever since.  But I have to say that this kind of junk lately is more what I would expect in the vein of problems from the shoddy-PC world that seem to linger and never get fixed.  Cupertino folks - what's the deal???

    You're not the only one judging by the forums!
    Likewise I have been using Apples since the Apple IIe(!) and have found them great in every respect. iTunes however over the past couple of years has deteriorated to th point of being unuseable. Apple has made iTunes the hub of your digital life and so it really has to work seemlessly.
    I currently have had to completely wipe and re-install my 64Gb iPhone 4s several times to get my music back on to it. I cannot het any playlists to sync which is really annoying and it generally undermines my faith in Apples software quality.
    Please put whatever resources are necessary to fix this soon Apple or you will certainly start to haemorrhage customers to other platforms. After all if iTunes remains broken then what's the point of paying the extra for Apple qulaity? You may as well uplaod ebverything to Google play and be done with it!

  • Windows 8.1 will not issue a Domain Name Request.

    I have a windows 8.1 system that will not issue a Domain Name Request to resolve a simple query such as www.microsoft.com.  It works OK in my Windows 7 system on the same computer.  I know this is happening because I run the Wireshark packet
    trace on each system. Windows 7 issues the request; Windows 8 does not.  I can flush the DNS cache with "ipconfig /flushdns, net stop dnscache, net start dnscache".  When I try to do email,  Thunderbird can't find the server; when
    I try to browse the internet, the browser(Opera, Chrome, Mozilla) can't resolver  the name.  ipconfig /all looks normal.  The Domain Name Server is hardwired (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, or 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220).  Any ideas?

    Hi,
    If you ping  the server with its IP address, could it work? If so, it should be your Windows 8.1 DNS components problem.
    When this problem occures? If this problem just occures recently, it would be better to make system restore to revert your system to a former normal time point.
    In not, firstly, try to reinstall NIC driver for test. Also check Event Viewer if it identify the problem.
    As you said, you run Wireshark Packet. In my opinion, it would be better to run this tool to capture you network communication trace in Windows 8.1. This maybe could help you find the reason of the problem.
    In addition, Network Monitor also a good choice to captuer network trace.

    Hi Kishore
    Create a Condition record for Output Type AF00.
    In the condition record, specify the partner function, transmission medium,time and language.
    If suppose you have specified the transmission medium as "FAX", then fax number must be mentioned in the customer master data> General data tab page.
    Also check the condition technique,like
    Your,output  type, its access sequence, condition table.
    The procedure (e.g v05000) must contain your output type and Procedure must have been assigned to the Sales document type IN.

  • Could Not Sign In:  A server problem is blocking Apple ID sign in.  Try signing in later.

    After a successful iOS 5 upgrade to my iPhone 3GS, I began going through the setup wizard the phone takes you through upon initial use.  However, I'm unable to make it past the part where you are supposed to "Sign In with an Apple ID".  The steps to reproduce the problem are:
    Click "Sign In with an Apple ID".
    Per the "Have MobileMe and an ITunes Account?" instructions, I opt to type in my MobileMe e-mail address (e.g. [email protected]) and password.
    Click "Next".
    Specify birthday.
    Click "Next".
    Click "Agree".
    Click "Agree" on popup.
    A popup error is produced which reads "Could Not Sign In:  A server problem is blocking Apple ID sign in.  Try signing in later.".
    Click "OK" which takes you back to the initial sign in screen.
    I have tried logging in since 2am ET.  It is now 8:17am ET.  The server should not be down for over 6 hours.  Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance offered!

    Hi Natalie,
    I was able to workaround this issue by clicking the "Skip" option on the first screen.  Afterwards, I went back and manually entered my me.com Apple ID in Settings | iCloud and my iTunes Apple ID in Settings | Store.  Doing it this way doesn't ask you to enter your birthday and I haven't yet found where that is supposed to be set.  However, everything appears to be working correctly without it.  Hope this helps!

  • Various bugs – Library view issue / import and copy problem / unsupported paths message

    In addition to the issues reported in a separate thread regarding importing video, there are several other bugs that are preventing me from progressing on a project and/or indicate instability in Edge Animate.  These issues don’t occur on new projects (yet), but are present in my current composition.
    I'm using the latest version of Edge Animate CC 2014 (2014.1.1) on a Windows 8 Pro (fully updated) system.
    Issue 1 – Library View
    For all the assets that have been imported, when I twirl down to view the thumbnail of each asset in the Library, nothing appears in the thumbnail area.  In earlier iterations of this project, all the items appeared correctly, but now nothing is there for any of the assets.  See sample below of what should appear (and what was there before), and what’s there now (nothing).
    Issue 2 – Asset Import Problem
    When I try to add an already imported image asset to the stage (or try to import a new image asset in the project), the item doesn’t appear properly – it just comes in as a dot with no height or width.  See samples below of what the imported asset looks like on the stage and its size information.
    Assets that were imported and placed before this bug occurred are still visible on the stage. But, if I copy one of these assets, the copy retains the size information, but does not appear at all. See sample.
    Issue 3 – Unsupported Paths message
    When I close the project, I get an unsupported paths message.  See sample.
    Despite this message, the assets appear in the project from within Edge and are present in the project if I open/preview the HTML file in my browser.
    Since these three issues relate to project assets, perhaps they are related.  I can provide a link to download this project if you like. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi Avinash,
    I'm glad you received the (large) project.
    In the meantime, I installed Edge Animate on another system (OS - Windows 8.1).  The Edge project exhibits the same problems on the other system.
    Thanks for looking into this!

    - Joel

    I bought a series pass and unfortunately epsiode 1 didn't download at all. I was watching the downloads and restarting once they stopped as I allow multiple downloads at athe same time

    It sounds like you may have hidden it, in which case you should be able to unhide it : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. (You can't turn off the hiding of items.)
    But you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy of all of your downloads and not relying on being able to redownload them - any item could be removed from the store by the rights-holders at any time, if they do then you won't be able to redownload them (nor will be able to do redownload items if you move countries).
