DHCPv6 gives wrong DNS address

DHCPv6 in the Time Capsule gives me wrong DNS address (same as GW). I can not figure out how to solve this problem. I am using the latest version 7.6.1.
First relevant screen (IPv6 page):
I configured everything statically. There is no problem in routing. I can ping everywhere. But there is problem in DNS.
Second relevant screen (TCP/IP page):
IPv4 is configured statically too. Time Capsule is giving IPv4 DNS 192.168.0.2 by DHCP correctly, but the IPv6 DNS is ignored.
Thirth relevant screen (Windows box):
This machine works as a Domain Controller and DNS so I need the DNS requests to end here. At IPv4 no problem. At IPv6 Time Capsule`s DHCPv6 is giving incorrect DNS address. It shoud give the one from line "IPv6 DNS Server(s)". Instead of it it gives the one from line "LAN IPv6 Address".
Because of this I have to shut the whole IPv6 down otherwise clients report that they can not resolve.
Thanks for any idea.

We're new to supporting Thunderbird here, so apologies for not knowing the program well.
I don't think this is a DNS problem, since the host name is completely different. Usually a DNS problem would be getting the wrong IP address for a host.
If you do not have any accounts on the old server set up for send/receive, then there's no reason for Thunderbird to be connecting.
I have a guess, based on experience with Microsoft email clients. If you open an old message that you have not read before (or move it out of your Inbox without reading it), and it is set to send a Read Receipt, this can trigger attempts to send the receipt out using the connection on which it was received.
If you have Thunderbird set to never send a read receipt, or to prompt you, then this probably isn't the issue. You could check your receipt setting here:

Thunderbird gets wrong DNS address

Thunderbird has just begun using an old server address when downloading emails, not my current server address. I have been using the new host with the same name for years.
I can connect using Firefox webmail,
I can connect using Thunderbird on another computer on my home network.
Ping returns the correct DNS address
Here is a log snippet

Bug or feature? - DHCP with static entries gives "wrong" DNS?

Server 10.4.8 G4 Xserve
Bonded interface (built-in and PCI, LACP)
DHCP, DNS and "more" running.
DHCP static IP entry (?) windows (and mac?) machines get their DNS IP from the server DNS setting from Network config, not from DHCP config ???
Machines with no static entry get the DNS IP from the DHCP server setting.
If you use 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver setting in Network config the static clients obviuosly can't lookup names. I had to use the "hostname IP" instead.

Hi,
I did not quiet understand what you mean. It looks completely visible for me.
You did not set scene width and height so maybe that is reason why it was not visible.
This code works for me:

        stage.setScene(createScene());
        stage.setVisible(true);
    private Scene createScene() {
        Label label = new Label("Hello world!");
        label.setFont(new Font(24));

HH5 issuing wrong IP and DNS address

My Win7 desktop pc is connected via ethernet to a HH5 and worked until this morning when it wouldn't connect to the internet. Various restarts of pc and HH didn't work so I checked the properties of the pc network. It stated that the IP address was valid (192.168.1.65) but the DNS was 192.168.0.254 instead of 192.168.1.254. After I changed it it worked OK so I manually set it to the DNS values in the HH5 setup of 62.6.40.162.
All is working on my pc but now my win7 laptop is having the same problem when connected wirelessly to the HH. Also my Brother wireless printer wouldn't connect so I restarted it's network wizard which seemed to work until I checked the IP address and it's 192.168.0.104 so can't be seen by other devices.
However, assorted iPads and iPhones all seem to connect and get the correct IP and DNS addresses OK giving good internet access.
This only started this morning and as far as I know nothing has changed.
What is going on ?
Oh and I have already tried a factory reset of the HH5 by sticking a pin in the reset hole.

Try disabling IPv6 on the Windows machines.
This suggestion by forum member gg30340, should fix the problem.
Select Start
In the Start Search field type ncpa.cpl and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
In the new window, right-click on your Wireless Network Connection and select Properties.
In the This connection uses the following items section, remove the tick beside (i.e. disable) Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then press OK.
Left click on Internet Protocol IPV4, click on properties. Check the options to obtain IP address and DNS Server address automatically.

Iphone 4 showing wrong IP address for home wireless

2 days ago we reset our home wireless password and updated our devices (ipad, laptop, and two cell phones). Now my iphone 4 will no longer connet to the wireless. It accepts the new password to join the network but it never connects. It is showing wrong IP address. How can I change it to the correct IP ? Tried hard rest, forget network, and renew lease all trying to get it to automatically update the info. Out of ideas. Any suggestions?

I have the exact same router as you, I have Comcast, and I am having the exact same INFURIATING problem.
Comcast and Apple have no ideas. Linksys tells me I am having a router problem.
I even went so far as to buy a new router and modem from Linksys (as they claim they no longer make the router/modem combo because it doesn't work well). I still don't buy this... my PC, my PS3, my DS... all of them connect to the router perfectly.
I have the new modem and router here and planned to give that a whirl tonight but Comcast was being difficult and saying it could take 72 hours to activate my new modem. Totally unsat. I had them reconnect the WCG200 and I am still trouble shooting to no avail...
If anyone finds a fix (short of a new router and new modem)... please post!

I need Help with the DNS Address

Hi All,
I just purchased & installed Mac OS X Server 10.5.4.
I would like to host a website & i think the DNS address is wrong. What do I set it at?
Any help would be great.
Thanks
A

Your post is a little vague on details.
Is this server used only for your web site? If so it doesn't matter what the machine thinks it is, what matters is the hostname that users use to get to your server.
Beyond that, you don't say what your hostname is which might provide a clue as to what you need to do. For example, the 'fix' if the hostname is 'wrong' because you typoed it is radically different from the hostname being 'wrong' because you get a name in your ISP's domain rather than yours.
So please explain what you <expect</i> (or want) and how that differs from what you currently have.

My Apple ID is registered in wrong email address. How can i change it or else when the server reply me to check my email that i can't check due to they sent to wrong email address...

Please give advice of how can i change my Apple ID (email address) as it is wrong address. Like i just update my iPhone to latest version 6.0, and get the new app, iCloud which need me to key in my Apple ID and Password. I have no choice to use the wrong email address as it is already registerd since from 1st day i use my iPhone. Then i received the reply that tell me to check my email for verifing but the problem is i can't check my gmail as they sent to the email is not my actual gmail address....
How can i solve this problem?

You may change your Apple ID to any email address that is not already used as another Apple ID, or that is not already associated with another Apple ID.
In other words, if I have an Apple ID [email protected], and have alternate email addresses of [email protected] and [email protected], none of them may be used by me or anyone else for an Apple ID, Rescue Email, alternate email, or anything Apple-related.
If the Apple ID link above indicates your email is already in use then it is. Use https://iforgot.apple.com, select Forgot your Apple ID? and provide the information requested. If the email address is one you created and can still access, you may be able to retrieve it. If it is one someone else created, you will not.

Wrong IP Address

I have a WRT610N v2 router (IP address is 192.168.1.1), three desktops, one laptop and one Windows Home Server. Two desktops are running Win XP and one is Win 7, the laptop is running Win 7. I am using Cisco Network Magic Pro on all of my computers and server. On my main desktop (Win XP) Network Magic Pro shows the routers IP address as 192.168.1.1, after resetting the router, my laptop had the same IP address (192.168.1.1) but after the laptop is turned off for awhile and then turned back on it has the wrong IP address (192.168.100.1). My other desktops have the wrong IP address also (192.168.100.1). I have tried to change the IP Address on the router but that just made it worse, I had to rest the router again. Please note: when I first purchased my router it was a different router, it was a WRT610N v1 and it stopped working, so now I have v2. How do I change the IP Address or Addresses to the correct one and make it stay? Please help me, my wife is driving nuts!!!!!

Are you saying that you are seeing two subnets (192.168.1.x and 192.168.100. x ) , and these subnets are being used by devices that are connected to the WRT610N (wirelessly, or by wire to the LAN ports) ?
If so, then this means that you have an extra DHCP server turned on on your network. My suspicion is that perhaps the DHCP server in "Windows Home Server" is turned on.
Normally, all your computer addresses would be in the range of 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149 (the WRT610N's default DHCP server range).
Normally, your Windows Home Server would be set to a fixed LAN IP address that is outside the DHCP server range, and does not end in 0, 1, or 255.
Rules for using fixed LAN IP addresses on Linksys routers:
With Linksys routers, a fixed (static) LAN IP addresses must be assigned in the device that is using the address. So you need to enter the fixed address in the computer or printer, not in the router.
When using a Linksys router, any fixed LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range (typically 192.168.1.100 thru 192.168.1.149), and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.
Therefore any fixed LAN IP address would normally need to be in the range of
192.168.1.2 thru 192.168.1.99 or
192.168.1.150 thru 192.168.1.254
assuming you are still using the default DHCP server range.
Also, in the computer, when you set up a static LAN IP address, you would need to set the "Subnet mask" to 255.255.255.0 and the "Default Gateway" to 192.168.1.1 and "DNS server" to 192.168.1.1
It is also important that no two devices on your network be set to the same static LAN IP address.
Check all of your static LAN IP addresses. If you have violated any of the above rules for static LAN IP addresses, it could be the cause for your problem, and you should fix it before attempting any other router repairs or changes.

Safari 5 and DNS address?

I've been having this problem every since I got my laptop a month ago... I have a wireless router that's connected to a PC, and I use wireless on my laptop. My old laptop was a PC, and the internet connection was just fine on it. However, I'm having issues with my MacBook Pro. When I first turned on my laptop after taking it out of the box, Airport detected my wireless router and connected me to the internet. Obviously, I used Safari 5 as my browser and although it works... it doesn't load the pages as fast as it should. It even stops loading at times. Usually, I quit Safari and reopen Safari and it works and if it doesn't, I click on the reload button or just keep re-opening Safari until it does work... buttt I am tired of doing that now. So after a lot of attempts by trial and error, I think I found the solution and was wondering if anyone could confirm this with me. I went to my router's IP address and I looked at the settings. I looked at the router's DNS settings and I copied and pasted that router setting into the DNS settings on my laptop for the wireless network. Now, my internet seems to be working... but then again it has only been 5 minutes. So my question is... the router's DNS has to match the wireless network's DNS address?
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question... I'm not an expert when it comes to internet, LAN, proxies, and etc. settings. Thank you!

DNS is what turns www.apple.com (a domain name) into 118.215.101.15 - the physical address of the hardware the web site is running on.
You only really need one DNS server but most ISPs give a secondary/backup one if the first fails.
You can also use many/any of the public DNS servers (Tuttle shows 8.8.8.8 as his primary lookup for example) you don't have to stick with your ISP's - sometimes external servers are faster.
Google tracks everything.

Publishing with wrong server address

hi guyz
I am using Web application designer and going thru a silly problems while publishing my report in any browser.
whenever i publish my report in a browser,a wrong server address is generated and i have to manually change the address each and every time when i run the query. Can i change the server address somewhere in the settings or is it something to do with the server and basis guyz?
Another problem is refreshing a report never gives the updated query results as in Bex analyzer.
regards
abhi

Abhilash,
this has to do with the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) setting done by basis and also the namethey have maintained in SMICM and in the profiles.
Make sure that all these are in line...

DNS addresses (master and slave) + personalizing the url address

Hello.
My name is Fernando and I published my site using MobileMe (www.fernandoingles.com).
It’s working already really well.
But since I’m from Brazil, I built one in Portuguese as well.
And since the common site endings here are .br I’m trying to purchase the www.fernandoingles.com.br as well but in order to be able to actually buy the site I have to give them two DNS addresses of the place I’m publishing the website with.
(one ‘Master’ and one ‘Slave’).
How can I get those addresses?
And another thing is that I also have my bands site’s published under my main domain name (fernandoingles.com) with my main MobileMe account (but I have the family pack now).
[www.pipeusa.net and www.pipebrasil.com]
I purchased those Urls using GoDaddy and they are all properly forwarded already, which means that when the person types those addresses above it already goes to the correct site.
But what shows on the actual url above is (http://www.fernandoingles.com/fernandoingles.com/Pipe.html).
And what I would like to appear is only the addresses (www.pipeusa.net and www.pipebrasil.com) instead of my name before them.
I bought the family pack so that I would have more space and etc... and already put those addresses ((www.pipeusa.net and www.pipebrasil.com and fernandoingles.com.br) as their main domain.
But since I’m publishing them all using my own iWeb how could I make those extra sites work as their own main sites?
Would it work if I log in with the desired MobileMe sub-account (let’s say www.pipeusa.net) and then go to iWeb, move that site to the top and them publish it?

Thank you so much for the response!
Great option on the added accounts!!
Since I manage all those sites myself could I manage them all within the same 'log in' or each and every time I need to make a change on one of those sites I must 'log out' of whatever account I'm in and then 'log in' into the account that the change needs to be made?
And whenever I 'log in' into those accounts (the ones that have the respective domains) should I replace on iWeb before I publish the top site with the one I want to as the main domain or can I just not do anything at all?
And about the DNS address issue,
Since I’m from Brazil, I always build two sites, one in Portuguese and one in English.
And since the common site endings here in Brazil are '.br' I’m trying to purchase the '.br' option of all the addresses I have as well but in order to be able to actually buy the site I have to give them two DNS addresses of the place I’m publishing the website with.
(one ‘Master’ and one ‘Slave’).
How can I get those addresses?"
Thank you so much for the help!!!!

DirectAccess 2012 has wrong DNS servers listed

Hello,
I'm setting up DirectAccess on Server 2012 and having issues with the wrong DNS servers continually added to the configuration. My setup is as follows, 2 Server 2008 R2 DCs running DNS, both have a static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The DirectAccess
server has a single NIC behind a NAT device and also has static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. My problem is that I keep getting a DNS: Not working properly error on the dashboard. It says:
Error:
Enterprise DNS servers (fd7e:ed10:5cb6:7777::ac10:a22, fd7e:ed10:5cb6:7777::ac10:a21) used by DirectAccess clients for name resolution are not responding. This might affect DirectAccess client connectivity to corporate resources.
The thing is these are not nor ever have been the IP addresses of my DC/DNS servers. I've removed them by using the configuration editor but with each restart of the server they reappear. I examined the DirectAccess Server
Settings GPO and they are listed in the Extra Registry Settings section buy I am unable to edit that portion. I've read other threads on this forum that state I need to add the IPv6 address of the DA server as the DNS server but I still get DNS errors
when I do that and after a restart the same two DNS servers show up again.
Anyone have any ideas? Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for you reply and sorry for relying so late.
Did you point the DNS server address to the IP address of the internal NIC? Maybe you can refer to the similar thread below:

Yes, but not the only solution.
If Safari is getting very slow:
(Presumably you regularly empty your Safari cache by deleting the following file:
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/cache.db
and clear your History)
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up* as well as added security, (including anti-phishing and redirects) (Full information about Open DNS is here: http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions and here: http://www.opendns.com/technology/opendns-vs-google-public-dns/ )

but results may vary depending on where you are located.
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
