DHCP not work if FIREWALL is turned on

I recently upgraded to 10.4.7 from 10.3.9 Server and DHCP wasn't working..
after reading several threads I tried deleting private/var/db/dhcpd_leases file to see if that would fix the problem it didn't.
I then tried turning firewall settings to allow all Traffic this also didn't work
the only thing that worked is if I turned off Firewall Services
Any Ideas???

Hi
I've had the same problem 3 new server installs over the past week.
The only way I've found to get round it is to add the following firewall rules in addition to allowing any connections on the internal IP.
Action Allow
Protocol TCP
Source
Address any
Destination
Address Other
Interface Other any via en1
& the same for UDP.
I have no idea why this fixed it as it woul seem to duplicate the rules for the any / internal subnet.
I hope that helps
David

HT4623 My iPhone is locked with the connect to iTunes logo on screen. I have connected and trying to restore but it is not working. I have turned it on and off but to no avail.

This has happened doing the latest software update. I think I accidentally deleted iTunes before doing the latest update in trying to make room on the phone when it came up with limited space.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Where it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program vice the iPod's buttons
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Issue getting FTP server to work when firewall is turned ON.

I have FTP server setup on a file server for users in a remote office to quickly download large files over the VPN between the offices. It works fine.
I have setup FTP on a different server in a 3rd remote office in order to download some large files. It will not work unless I turn off the firewall for the Domain network settings. In the firewall under "Allow a program or feature"
FTP Server is listed and is checked under Domain, Home, and Public. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Can someone help me figure this one out? thanks

It is clear now that it is a firewall problem.
If this is a Windows Firewall then you can give a try to this: http://www.maxpcsecure.com/support/spywaredetector/allow_FTP_Port.htm
If this is not a Windows Firewall then you need to check with the vendor / developer support for assistance.

Mail for Exchange not working after a weekend turn...

I have a customer that has used 2 x E51`s and now an E55 to get his emails from an Exchange Server for at least 18 months. It works absolutely fine usually, but he is in the habit of turning his mobile completely off on Friday night and not turning on until Monday morning. Occasionally this means that the emails do not come through when he turns back on, and you have to go in and manually force it to connect, and sometimes delete the profile and start again.
There are lots of other users using this server with all sorts of devices, and they are having no issues at all, and we have lots of other customers using lots of different servers with E series devices and this hasnt come up at all. Clearly most customers turn their phones off now and again, and always get a reconnection, but then most will not do it longer than say a flight to the US.....so 8 hours or so.
Anyone know of an issue caused by the phone not being connected for so long?

I experienced the same issue. I thing a bug in the update. At the moment no more exchange sync. Using and IPod touch no problem => no Exch server problem. I hope a fix from Nokia.

My up button for volume does not work and need to turn incoming call volume up. is there an app to do this

my up volume button does not work and i need to turn the incall volume up. is there an app that does this?

Hey skeith75,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, your iPhone may need to be serviced to fix that button. However, if in the meantime you would like a workaround for turning the volume up on a phone call, you can use Assistive Touch:

IChat AV does not work behind firewall even after opening up correct ports

Hi. I am trying to get my iChat setup so that I can do video and audio. It works fine when my mac is directly plugged into the cable modem. When I plug it into my firewall it will not connect. I have read many online manuals and forums and I have tried opening many ports etc on the fire wall. I am using a MBP thats running the latest software. This is clearly an external firewall issue because my MBP works fine without the firewall.
Here is what I have forwarded.
Ports to Open on Firewall.... BOLD LAN ports only.
TCP: 5220, 5222, 5223
UDP: 5060, 5297, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403
TCP/UDP: 5180, 5190, 5298
according to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507
It attempts to connect then fails. I have run it in terminal to try to catch the error logs and figure out what is going on. I have the complete error logs from three seperate attempts if that would help.
The firewall is a FreeBSD based firewall running pfsense. It is also controlling DHCP. My MBP is connecting to the network via a Time Capsule which has been set to not do DHCP and instead forward to the firewall/router. When my MBP connects it is always assigned the same IP based on its mac address. All the firewall rules are set to that IP. Any idea whats going on here?

I opened all of the right ports. it seems my firewall was randomizing outgoing ports as a security feature and this was messing with the SIP protocol creating a successful connection. I set my outgoing port to be static and now everything works fine!

DHCP not working Help Me!!!

OK I have Have a MacBookPro dual booting with Windows. I am trying to connect to my wireless router through DHCP and have WPA security enabled on the router.
I can not get OSX to connect wireless using DHCP. It works fine if I assign a static IP or if I boot into windows I will get an IP address. OSX will just assign a 169.254.?.? ip address (APIPA). If I try an unsecure network DHCP has not problems and will get an ip address.
I have tried deleting my network and recreating it. Also tried deleting my passkeys will no good results.
This all started after the rollout of 10.4.7 and the security update afterwards did not fix my issues.
I need a network expert!!!
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

OK I got tied of waiting for an answer or just a responce so I figured it out for myself.
I turned the wireless security off on my router and DHCP connects fine. So I started thinking let me try WPA2. Oh my gosh .... That Fu#@ing worked! The only problem is that I have other wireless equipment that does not support WPA2 yet.
If any one knows why my WPA security settings do not support DHCP anymore I would really like to know. For now I guess being extra secure won't hurt.
Thanks for all the help everyone.

Using WPA results in "self-assigned IP" / DHCP not working / Comm prob?

Hi,
New to the forum...just replaced all wintel boxes with new macs (macbook pro and mac mini; both at 10.4.6) talking to a new AEBS (updated firmware) which is connected to a Comcast cable modem.
Configuring the AEBS without security results in a very happy network...good range and DHCP behaves properly...handing IP addresses to both clients promptly and the throughput as reflected by www.speakeasy.net/speedtest is great.
Adding wireless security to the mix, be it WPA+WPA2; WPA2; WPA; WEP, creates problems. If I configure the AEBS with WPA+WPA2, for instance, put in a password, update the router, reboot the cable modem and the router, delete any existing preferred networks, add a new preferred network with WPA2 and the correct password (btw, I have cleared my keychain to avoid any password caching problems) and apply the changes the following behavior occurs like clockwork: The client connects to the AEBS, as reflected in the status in the network preferences window and the internet connect window, but it never gets an IP address from the AEBS and is stuck in the "self-assigned IP" / 169.x.x.x abyss. I wait much longer than 40 seconds and nothing ever changes. In addition, attempting to configure the AEBS while in this state (from airport admin utility) results in a very long attempt to read the configuration which never works - I need to connect with ethernet to reconfigure. If I go back and remove the security policy on both sides the network works just fine...including the ability to configure the AEBS over wireless.
For the record, the AEBS settings are: Open network; channel 11; b only; no interference robustness set; uses DHCP for IP from cable modem; distributes IP addresses - shares single IP address using DHCP + NAT using 192.168.1.1 addressing. All of that seems appropriate and correct but, hey, it ain't working and I am out of ideas.
All help is welcome! Thanks.

Hey Rich,
I eventually got mine to work but I really cannot give you a clear view of how...it was hit or miss. If you are running into the same thing, I might be able to guide you to the same resolution.
When you turn on WEP or WPA, does the network connect but not get an IP address from DHCP (self-assigned address abyss) or does it not connect at all? Asked another way, what does the system preferences / show / network status page say for the wireless network in question?

Ethernet DHCP not working on new iMac

I have a new 24" iMac and cannot get it to work over Ethernet with DHCP and NAT provided by an Airport Extreme (b/g model). The Aiport router is used to connect to Verizon DSL through a Verizon-supplied Westell ADSL modem. The Airport is configured for PPPoE and automatically provides DHCP and NAT in that configuration. I have a Netgear 5 port switch connected to the Ethernet port on the Airport router and a Xerox printer and the new iMac connected to the switch so that all computers on the network can share the printer.
I have several other computers (Macs and a PC) that all work fine with WiFi through the Airport router. The new iMac also works pretty well with its supplied Airport card, although the connection is sometimes lost when the Mac goes to sleep. The iMac is close to the router, which is why I would prefer to use Ethernet and take advantage of higher speed and a more reliable connection for printing large files.
I have tried everything I can think of to get Ethernet to work, including creating different Network configs, one just-Ethernet, one just-Wifi. Typically when I enable Ethernet, the iMac does not get an IP address from DHCP but assigns itself one. Even if I try to manually set a valid IP for my network, I cannot ping any other device including the Airport router.
I have tested the cable/switch/router combination by plugging a PowerBook in place of the iMac, and Ethernet works flawlessly for the laptop. I used to have an older Linksys router and had the Airport configured as a bridge, and that didn't work either, which led me to buy the Netgear switch and configure the Airport as my primary router. I was thinking perhaps there was a hardware issue with the newer Gig Ethernet controller on the iMac and the very old Linksys router/switch. But no dice.
So my only conclusion is that either the Ethernet controller on the Mac is kaput or that there is some config magic that I don't understand.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob

Sorry, I've been offline for the holidays. I tried what you suggested, configed the Powerbook and iMac for manual IP (192.168.1.220 and .230 with subnet 255.255.255.0) and connected them directly and could not ping from either machine. Here is the output requested:
