DHCP works, static does not.

When I enable DHCP in rc.conf, my little Netgear router gives an IP address to my Arch Linux machine - and also supplies the DNS value. When I try to manually set things, it seems my DNS values are not working.
My AL box can ping itself, at both 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.99. It can ping my Windows box at 192.168.0.23. It can also ping my netgear router at 192.168.0.1.
I tried putting "alias eth0 pcnet32" in my modules.conf, and now it generated a warning during bootup, something about modules.conf having a newer timestamp than a kernel lib.
I added my ISP's DNS address to my resolv.conf:
nameserver 167.206.1.103
I'm not sure how to add the second DNS address.
I'm actually running Arch Linux inside VMWare4, and documenting all the steps it takes to get AL running inside VM4, so other people can try it out easily. A blind-leading-the-blind type guide.
Any suggestions?
thx

I fixed it.
I need to change:
ROUTES=(!gateway)
to
ROUTES=(gateway)
in my rc.conf file.
oops!
Well I'll be sure to put that in my How-To.

The Power Supply Fan is still working, but does not appear to respond to increased loads, and its speed cannot be increased using SMCFanControl. Any suggestions?

Hi all - My mac pro 1,1 has an enigmatic problem. It's quad-core, 3Ghz, running OS X 10.7.5. The problem began some months back, when running HD video conferences, HD streaming videos and some other graphics-moderate (I won't say intense) uses, such as slide shows in Just Looking. My machine has an ATY, RadeonX1900 card and 2 monitors - both Apple displays, one being 30 inch 2560x1600, the other being 24 inch 1920x1200.
When I start those types of graphics-moderate apps, after about 5 minutes, something would crash (the monitors making a noise as it did) and the displays would both go black. The power did not appear to be fully cut off from the monitors. I think that the underlying applications, however, did not crash. So, I could still hear and speak to people during video conferences, and I could hear the sound tracks of videos.
Attempts to restart the computer and get the monitors back did not immediately work to undo the problem, if done straight away. The only way to correct the problem (so as to have the monitors work) was to wait for a few minutes and then restart.
After a lot of puzzled looking at console logs (and I confess that I am not an expert), I ran into a blank.
But, because of the timing of the crashes (after ~5minutes use) and restarts (after some minutes wait), I reasoned that the problem might be temperature related.
Once on that path of thought, I found this article:
http://worldtv.com/blog/guides_tutorials/fixing_an_overheating_mac_pro_no_expens e_required.php
I installed both Temperature Monitor and SMCFanControl. And I experimented, and got interesting results:
Now to the puzzling bit: SMCFanControl shows that the speed of the Power Supply Fan doesn't vary much, even if I use SMCFanControl to ramp fan speeds right up. All of the other fans react to SMCFanControl, going up to and above 2500rpm when commanded. But the Power Supply Fan does not. Having watched it for a few days now, the Power Supply Fan, according to AFCFanControl, never varies outside of a range from about 600-640 rpm, regardless of what I do with AFCFanControl.
Also (and not surprisingly), whenever the graphics-moderate apps run, when I ramp all the fan speeds up using SMCFanControl, Temperature Monitor shows that the all of the temperatures within the machine plummet, except in the power supply locations. Power Supply Location 2 is the worst affected. Because the Power Supply Fan does not react as the other fans do, the "crashes" still occur.
I could post some screen shots of the read outs of SMCFanControl and Temperature Monitor, although I think I have covered the key points in this post.
It seems that the Power Supply Fan is still working, but does not respond to increased loads.
Instinctively, I'm worried that if that's right, it might be a hard problem to fix. Any suggestions? Help! I would really appreciate them!
Cheers

Thanks for your response Grant. I had already read about, and I think excluded, dust in graphics card/fan/assembly as a cause. The entire inside of the computer, including the graphics card/fan/assembly, is as clean as a whistle. It looks clean. I've cleaned the dust out every now and then (including a few days ago). Also, my undersanding (derived from the article, linked in my first post) is that I might expect to see high temperatures in the Northbridge and memory module B if the graphics card was overheating. According to Temperature Monitor, however, locations do not increase in temperature when I run the relevant apps. Finally, the graphics card/assembly does not feel too hot to touch.
It is strange that SMCFanControl lists the Power Supply Fan as being software controllable, if that fan is not. Still, your comments are consistent with my observations, as the fan simply does not respond to software control.
There are two upsides: First, I've something of a work-around. I've worked out what temperature must be achieved in Power Supply Location 2 for a crash to occur, and I can watch that location in Temperature Monitor, terminating the process before that treshold is reached. Of course, that's not ideal. Second, ramping all the other fans up does significantly delay the onset of the problem, and makes recovery time much quicker.
Is there any donwside to peridically ramping up the other fans when running the relevant apps? Given that it causes all of the other locations to cool significantly, could this lessesn the life expecancy of the mahcine? (I don't want to run the fans up all the time - that's like sitting next to a jet ready for take off!)
Also, a correction to my first post: Yesterday, with all the other fans running on full and running an HD streaming video, the Power Supply Fan did, eventually, slowly, come up to ~740rpm, which is much higher than the ~640rpm maximum I had previously seen, and this may have aided delaying the onset of the problem.
I'm not sure where this leaves me? The problem might now be able managed. Well, sort-of. But it's not eliminated.

The only thing I can come up with is that I found a blog that said that in the Trial version Photomerge does not work, however I do Not have the Trial version, I did at one time but I purchase Adobe Elements. Thank you.

The blog was incorrect. Photomerge should work in the trial, too.

Looks like toad is right. A quick google search on "does not have any corresponding BIOS drive" shows a load of entries going back to 2006. The ones I looked at are same error as you report, and the fix sounds exactly what toad said:
The first Google result was -
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/error-devhdx-does-not-have-any-corresponding-bios-drive-and-solution/
Which basically says to do this -
# grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
You did mention recheck in your post. I then read the post again:
> boot arch iso
> mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
> cd /mnt
> mount -t proc proc proc/
> mount -t sysfs sys sys/
> mount -o bind /dev dev/
> chroot /mnt
> grub-install /dev/sda
and you are mounting /dev/sda2 to /mnt but trying to install grub to /dev/sda.
I can't say for sure that's wrong but surely sda2 wont mount to /dev/sda? I may be miles off here admittedly. I can't remember offhand how mount works.

E4200/E3200 in bridge mode...Guest access works, but does not roam between routers...any ideas?

I have installed wireless in my church...main router is E4200 in the office set up as follows:
IP: 192.168.0.1
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
DHCP enabled (Range = 192.168.0.4-192.168.0.103)
Guest network enabled
Static DNS (for content filtering)
NAT: Enabled
Second router E3200 (in bridge mode) - connected LAN to WAN
IP: 192.168.0.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Guest Network enabled
DHCP (obviously disabled)
Static DNS (for content filtering)
NAT: Enabled
Third router E3200 (in bridge mode) - Connected LAN to WAN
IP 192.168.0.3
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Guest network enabled
DHCP (obviously disabled)
Static DNS (for content filtering)
NAT: Enabled
The 2 routers in Bridge mode are connected to a 16-port unmanaged switch (with other PCs, etc.), which is then plugged into the main router in Port 1.
SSIDs on all 3 routers are exactly the same for both main and Guest networks.
The main network works flawlessly. The router in the office hands out IPs in the 192.168.0.XX range and you can wander throughout the church and maintain a persistent Internet connection. File and print access works fine too from anywhere in the building.
For the Guest network, you can set up a laptop next to each router, obtain an IP address, reach the logon page and surf the Internet without issue. So, the Guest Network works fine from each router.
However, if you wander around the church while on the Guest network (such as with a smart phone), the following happens:
-On either of the E3200 routers (in bridge mode) you get the login page as you wander into the range of each router. I would have thought that if you logged in once, you would be good to go.
-You get a different IP from each router. On the E3200's in Bridge mode, you get a 192.168.33.XX address. Additionally, the gateway is 192.168.33.1. On the E4200 (main router) you get a 192.168.3.XX IP and a gateway of 192.168.3.1.
-As a result of getting different IPs, the smart phone becomes confused and generally won't connect to the Internet.
So, it looks like each router maintains a separate list of who has entered the correct password to get onto the Guest network. Additionally, it appears as if each of the 2 routers, supposedly in Bridge mode, is still handing out IP addresses on the Guest Network, rather than deferring to the router in the office like they do for the main network.
I have seen a lot of postings about how to put routers into Bridge mode and problems with the Guest Network, but posts that I've seen point to the Guest network not working at all, as opposed to this issue where it works; the bridged routers, though, continue to like to hand out IP addresses on it, making wandering around the church while connected to the Internet not possible while connected to the Guest network.
Anyone else experience as similar situation? Any possible solutions out there?
Thanks!
-Gil
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I do understand what you were trying to do here since you would like to have only 2 SSIDs (main & guest) for perhaps easy connectivity. The reason why you were not having problems getting online wirelessly when you were connected to the main network it’s because the computer was connected to only one DHCP server since the 2 bridge routers were just acting as a switch or a passthrough device. Now with guest network access it is a different scenario, a guest network is a virtual network meaning to say it’s like your having another router embedded on your router. Since it is a virtual network, then it does not follow the parameters of the main network, hence even if the router was set to bridge mode those routers will still have their own ip address of either 192.168.33.1 or 192.168.3.1.

Network works; Internet does not

I apologize if this is a repost, I looked through everything and couldn't find anything exactly appropiate to me.
I connect on a university's LAN, no password or anything like that. All the network settings are basically "plug-and-play," if you will. Yesterday I came back to my dorm and found I simply could not get online. With most sudden changes like this, I usually suspect the ethernet cable, so I plugged it in again, checked for problems, replaced it, tried it in my roommate's jack (who's internet is functioning fine) and found that wasn't it.
So I moved on and checked my network settings. System Preferences said I was connected to the network and the internet, and a IP address was assigned to me. I left it for a while, and revisited it just now, and found no improvement. I disabled every NIC except for the ethernet controller, for good measure. However, I did notice that my shared music was showing up in my friend's iTunes. Then I logged on Bonjour, and found I could communicate with other Bonjour users. So, I am, in fact, connected to the network. Nobody else that I have talked too, even those running similar systems to me, is experiencing any problems.
So, instead of filing a complaint with ResLife, I decided that the problem must be on my end. But I cannot for the life imagine what it is. I have little experience with networking on Macs, and, so, I don't know where to start. Does anyone have any ideas?
Also, I don't have any types of security software, including internet security. I imagine the entire campus-wide network is behind a firewall, but my computer does not have an individual one.
Thanks in advance!
-Peter

Wow, thanks for all the responses!
Well, first I tried entering in those DNS servers. I tried them individually and together (and applied settings ), and there was no change.
The IP address the network's (hopefully) assigned me is: 141.164.95.xxx.
I've been careful not to turn on any proxies, although I don't completely understand the Mac's proxy set-up window. It's on the "Manual" set-up page, and I've made sure that none of the checkboxes have been checked (I have not altered them during the entire course of this incident, although I have, however, stared at them for great amounts of time, as I have stared at every screen in network preferences trying to figure out what isn't right).
I'm connecting using DHCP (no required usernames or passwords). One thing I did change was the search domain, AFTER this problem arose. When looking over the university's connection instructions, trying to figure out what may be wrong, I noticed that they said you should enter in the university's domain as the search domain, so I did. No PPoE is set-up, which is correct.
Another thing I tried was looking at the System Monitor to try to see if anything that's not supposed to be running is running (on the off chance I had downloaded some sort-of harmful program or something that cut off my access to the internet) and the list was fairly short, as I'm trying to keep all my applications closed during this diagnosis for simplicity. Everything seemed to be a system process or a widget.
I opened up the network monitor. I saw that I was recieving and sending packets. I verified this information by logging on somebody's shared music in iTunes, and rapidly changing songs, and the packet rates went up accordingly.
The Network Diagnostic tool refused to do anything; as it thinks I'm connected to a network and the internet. Apple should change it so it also pings apple.com or something; but that's just my two cents
And that's about it. I hope I'm not giving away a confusing amount of information, I'm just trying to walk everyone through what I've already tried (as insignificant to my problem as every one of my attempts probably are).

HTC Incredible reboot fix that works and does NOT require hard reset

Like many of you unfortunate souls out there I have had my HTC Incredible go into a rebooting loop over the last month or so. The following recounts some observations and and a solution which appears to work.
First off, my son and I both have the same phone and software versions and apps. He does NOT get email on his phone because he does not want to. I do. His phone has NEVER rebooted. Mine has done so numerous times. My business partner also has the identical phone and software version, lives within 200 yards of me, and uses the email and has had numerous reboots and has gotten them even sooner than I saw them at first. My partner and I have set up email attachments and downloads to go to the SD card. So much for background info. Here is what I did to fix the problem followed by some other observations:
Open up the case of the phone and remove the battery
Remove the SD card from the phone.
Put it into an adapter that allows you to access files directly on your computer. In my case this was a Windows PC running Windows 7.
Mount the SD card in your computer and open up the browser to see the files on the SD card.
Look for a folder called ".Mail"
If your phone is like mine you will see hundreds of files, some of zero length. This was even though I had deleted most of the emails I received on my phone.
Proceed to directly delete any of the zero length files. For that matter, you may have other files like jpg's laying around of uncertain origin. I got rid of these and other strange files that seemed attached to no documents at all.
Remove the SD card and reinsert into your phone. Put the battery back in and the cover on then restart the phone. Your phone should run properly and you should not see any negative consequences from the files you deleted previously.
Some other observations relevant to this solution that bolsters my theory that this problem has something to do with the email application and also a problem with file system corruption on the SD card as a consequence of it.
I had previously seen the email application put some mail from a different account I was using into my main account. The files could not be deleted and even trying to do so would cause the mail app to force close.
My son has never seen the problem despite being in the same environment with the same phone and software. Relevant difference to me was that he was NOT using email and I was.
The email app clearly has bugs if it is leaving behind hundreds of files even if you delete the emails. Why? As a software engineer my first instinct would be to look to see if the file system locks were properly synchronized when the email app is writing to the flash file system. I am not conversant in Android OS programming nor the app code itself so this is speculative on my part. I would also look for a timeout on reboots if file system enumerations take too long. Lots of files on a system might trigger a premature timeout and reboot. Once again, this is speculative on my part but I sure wish I had the code to debug this myself.
These issues seem to coincide with a rapid rise in network traffic most likely because of the iPad 2/iPhone support by Verizon. I wonder if this additional traffic load on the network is opening up timing holes in the software because of backoff and retry intervals for certain apps. Once again I suspect the email app especially because it is vulnerable to network traffic issues as it tries to get email account updates.
I could be wrong about my theory as to why the problem is happening. My solution seems to work. As far as pulling the battery and putting it near your AC in the car, that did NOT work for me at all. Leaving the phone out of its protective case also had no effect. Only screwing with the files on the SD card mattered.
I hope this helps.

This problem has been seen for MONTHS now by people besides myself. My business partner is about to put a bullet in his phone because this has been happening for far longer than mine. I have little confidence in a fix anytime soon because this problem has been persistent for some time and there is a lot of denial in the field by Verizon. Verizon has to depend on HTC and Google besides themselves for fixes. How much would you like to wager on how this business relationship is working out? The first step in any solution is for a company to take some responsibility for it and so far no company has.

Airplay is not working , remote does not find library all of a sudden

I am having atypical problem. Sometime in the afternoon all of a sudden my Airplay connection from iMac hard disk to Airport Express is not working or is stopped and then started and then stopped. So in other words not stable. As far as the Apple expert trained service guy is telling me all wifi components are installed ok. meaning Aiprot Extreme as router and 3 airport express n-verisons ( latest models ) . Still it is not working properly.
What i see is that the Wifi conection on the iMac is sometimes not working in particllur hours of the afternoon . It goes of and has to be restarted by hand ( does not reconnect automatically. ).
I hope somebody has some clues what could be the problem why my airplay is not stable... ?

how many batteries do you have and if you hve more than one it does it with both batteries? If you only have one battry that battery made be bad, batteries are fairly inexxpensive I would buy another battery first.Those cameras are selling for $200 new now with just a quick search. Anyway Id try another battery.
