Dynamic Global Host Name!!!

Hello Everybody!
I have Time Capsule 2TB, and i have an issue about it, which its how to connect to it via internet?
i know that i must have mobileme account and to be added to advanced in the airport utility.
then i have to setup the Dynamic Global Host Name, this is my problem?
how can i get the Dynamic Global host Name?
Is it from ISP?
is it supported by some regions? or all over the countries?
if so, is it supported in Egypt?
i gave a try and i contact my ISP (Vodafone) but they didnt hear anything or even know anything about the Dynamic Global Host Name. If from ISP, what could i tell them to understand me?
because when i asked about DGHN, no one understand me.
Thank you for your help,
Sincerely,,,

That sounds backwards. The public IP address 196.168.0.4 is administered out of Mauritius, which should make what you see a WAN address. An IP address 10.0.1.1 is a "private" IP address, which you'd expect to see in a LAN behind a NATting router.
(Back to My Mac isn't working properly because you may have more than one device on your network providing Network Address Translation (NAT). Try disabling NAT on one of the devices )
As it says, that means that you are behind multiple layers of routers providing translation of network addresses. Can you tell what WAN address is being assigned to your ADSL modem/router? I'd still try to put that device into "bridge" mode.

How can I setup a dynamic global host name in airport utility 6?

I found the directions for 5.6 but I cannot install on mountain lion.
Thanks -
Donna

There are several things that you can do to work around this issue. None of them will be officially supported by Apple, so you will be on your own if you decide to try this.
If you have been using Time Machine for backups, you can go back a month or two, locate AirPort Utility 5.6 and restore it to the desktop on the Mountain Lion machine.
Then, simply drag and drop it into the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder. It will run fine, and you can keep both AirPort Utility 5.6 and 6.x on your Mac.
Or, if you have another Mac there that is still running Lion or Snow Leopard, you can copy the AirPort Utility 5.6 application and then paste it into the Utilities folder under Applications.
If one of those ways will not work, there is another, but it gets complicated. Post back if you need more info.

How to set dynamic host name in the URL of a URL iView?

Hello,
I am using a standard URL iView that points to some J2EE app I've written and deployed on the same server.
I would like to set the host name to be a dynamic one, this way I won't need to change the iView URL when transporting it from one portal to another. As far as I know the system for a URL iView only controls authorizations but cannot replace the full URL set in the iView.
Any idea who can this be achieved?
Roy

Hi Mrityunjay,
forced URL at runtime will require me to call the URL iView from another iView that I will need to code (setting the URL in the Request object). If I did all this I might as well call it from this iView already.
I would like to do it with no further developments. I would have thought that SAP has constants that can be plugged in the URL for this type of thing, i.e. $hostname...
Rgds,
Roy

Dynamic host name in action link

Hi All,
Is there a way to create the dynamic host name in the url in the action link for dashboard? I have tried to use the repository variable to store the hostname from the server in the navigate to webpage. However, the action link is showing the error when I tried to place repository variable in the navigation to webpage in action link. We do not want to manually change the hostname for each migration .
@{biServer.variables['hostname']}:7001\analytics
Thanks,
Sushil

Thanks Srini,
I was trying to use the variable value in url of the Action link ( Navigation to webpage). The variable value works inside the report or go url .

Domain hosting provider that supports Dynamic Global Hostname?

Is there any domain hosting provider that supports dynamic DNS of the variety that supports "dynamic global hostname" used by Mac OS X, accessed in the Sharing control panel, and used by AirPort Express and Time Machine? I am referring to the Dynamic DNS method specified by IETF RFC 2136.

Any VPS provider will give you full control over your BIND installation.

Clearing Host Name from Dynamic DNS set up - Home ...

I changed my DNS provider due to poor performance. Since then I have been trying to change the host name and it stays with the original. Do I have to rest teh home hub back to default settings and set it up again?
If so this is very poor...!

Oh and that is "reset the hub"

Dynamic Physical File names on AL11

Hi,
I have the following requirement.
I have almost 25 files to be exported onto AL11 using OpenHub from various infoproviders and I used the "Logical File name" option to do it.
I would like to have the physical file names as " ZINFOPROV_<DATE>_<TIME> " and Infoprovider tech. name should get populated dynamically somehow.
I was looking at the following thread for the same req : Re: Open Hub File name Change
I defined my logical file name definition as
Logical file    Z_SALES
Name            Used for SALES
Physical file   ZINFOPROV_<DATE>_<TIME>
Data format     ASC
Applicat.area   BW
Logical path    Z_SALES
I would like this ZINFOPROV populated dynamically.
Any have any inputs/suggestions.
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
You have a very good question and also shown the viewer of your post the way forward. Well i got your answer from your question only. Considering <DATE> as one kind of literals, you need a literal to identify the infoprovider as one part of your filename. Now my answer is not direct resolution but it may lead you to your answer. Here are the list of other literals that might be of use to you.....
Extract from the help.......
Physical path name
Platform-specific physical path under which files are stored. It most contain the reserved word <FILENAME> as a placeholder for the file name. IT can also contain further reserved words (see below).
Use
The physical path name is used by the function module FILE_GET_NAME at run time to create a complete platform-specific file name.
Procedure
Specify a path. You can include the following reserved words in pointed brackets. These are replaced with current values at runtime.
Reserved Word    Replacement Text
<OPSYS> Operating system in call
<INSTANCE> R/3 application instance
<SYSID> R/3 application name in SY-SYSID
<DBSYS> Database system in SY-DBSYS
<SAPRL> R/3 release in SY-SAPRL
<HOST> Host name in SY-HOST
<CLIENT> Client in SY-MANDT
<LANGUAGE> Log on language in SY-LANGU

<V=name> Name of a variable (stored in variable table)
<F=name> Return value of a function module Naming convention for this function module: FILENAME_EXIT_name
<Y=name> Return value of a function module Naming convention for this function module: Y_FILENAME_EXIT_name
<Z=name> Return value of a function module Naming convention for this function module: Z_FILENAME_EXIT_name
Examples
Local directory for temporary files under Windows NT: D:\GLOBAL\ARCHIVE\<PARAM_1>\<FILENAME>
Local directory for temporary files under DOS:C:\TMP\<FILENAME>
Local directory for temporary files under UNIX: /usr/<SYSID>/local/tmp/<CLIENT>/<FILENAME>
Dependencies
The function module for the run-time variable <F=name> must meet the following requirements:
Name
The name must begin with "FILENAME_EXIT_".
Parameter
An export parameter with the name "OUTPUT" must exist. No structure may exist for this parameters.
Import parameters are only supported if they have default values.
Table parameters are not supported.
Valid example: FILENAME_EXIT_EXAMPLE.
I hope this leads you to your resolution.

Need help with Host Name

I have several Macs and PC connected through my wireless network. On My wireless router I am able to see all the computers connected. All the PC's show their Host Name. All of the Macs show their correct IP addresses but show a host name of unknown. I have gone to system preferences and from there gone to sharing and set the macs local hostname to xxx.local. I have not checked the 'Use dynamic global hostname' option. After doing this the host name still shows as unknown. Where do I go in a mac to properly set the host name so it will show up on the wireless networks as well as the ip address?
Thanks in advance for all help.

Setting the host name in sharing was the answer. A reboot was required.

Cannot resolve host names on local network

It is a local network with router, few Windows computers with shared drives and one Mac.
Windows shares appear correctly in SHARED and can be used without any problems, like iTunes and iPhoto libraries are on those shared drives and work properly, even if ip address of those computers would change.
BUT - if I am trying to use VNC and connect to hostname:port, it says that server is not specified. If I try to ping hostname it says Unknown host.
At the same time, similar ping from Windows computer work without any problems.
It could be possible that router does not support something standard and communicates with Windows using something windows-specific, but what confuses me is that I can see computer names resolved in the finder already! Also, as I said iTunes and iPhoto can work with shared files on dynamic ip's which would be not possible if host names would be not resolved.
Thanks.

Domain Name Resolution for local IP addresses require a Local DNS server running on your network.
Bonjour names will resolve without a Local DNS server. So this is why iTunes and iPhoto works as they use bonjour technology.
A bonjour name ends in .local so in your macs sharing preferences you give the mac a name of imac its bonjour address is imac.local
Other than that you are best giving your devices fixed IP address and adding there hostnames to your hosts file.
the contents of /etc/hosts on your mac would look like
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
so at the above that you could add for example
192.168.1.5 mypc
192.168.1.6 myprinter
Then you could ping 192.168.1.5 by
ping mypc
So would have to add these entries to each hosts file on every computer on your lan.
Or you could setup a local dns server and give each computer on your LAN a fully qualified domain name.

WRT150N host name lookup problem

When I try to access a computer on my LAN using the host name I get a unknown host message. When I use the computer's dynamically obtained ip address it works fine.
Does anyone know if there is a way to make a WRT150N router resolve the host name. My old router used to doit, but i can figure out how to make the WRT150N do it.

Let me know the Firmware you are using on WRT150N?
Try uploding the latest firmware on the website 1.01.9 ....

How can IC WebClient determine the host name for free seating?

To run a public VPN server, you need to do the following:
1. Give the gateway either a static external address or a dynamic DNS name. The latter must be a DNS record on a public DNS registrar, not on the server itself. Also in the latter case, you must run a background process to keep the DNS record up to date when your IP address changes.
2. Give the VPN server a static address on the local network.
3. Forward external UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 (for L2TP) and TCP port 1723 (for PPTP) to the corresponding ports on the VPN server.
4. Configure any firewall in use to pass this traffic.

DHCP Client does not send host name to DHCP Server

Hello,
I installed Solaris 10 on VirtualBox and I cannot ping/ssh/telnet the virtual machine by its host name (even from the host computer) but only by it's ip.
I tried everything I could find on internet with no success (I don't want to add the hostname in every hosts file on every computer because it's not really professionnal)

During the Solaris installation process, you told it what the hostname was going to be and that you wanted that environment to exist with a dynamic IP address instead of a specific address that you desired.
When Solaris boots it broadcasts that hostname and waits for a DHCP server to be quasi-intelligent enough to award an IP address based upon a pre-configured list inside that DHCP server.   Hostname ABC would always get IP address 123 on subnet rst, hostname DEF would always get IP address 456 on subnet xyz, and so on and so on.
That's the fundamental process for proper (and thus secure) DHCP.
All your other environments (Windows, Debian, Ubuntu) are what might be thought of as "hacked for convenience" to get around that sort of network configuration. They take the lazy way to exist. That partial networking setup is good enough for a home network but would be miserably insecure in a corporate environment. Those choices are operating environments that are nice for end-user desktops but aren't Enterprise Class.
My suggestion?
Review the IP address range in your Netgear router's setup.
It is likely something like 192.169.0.1 through 192.168.0.50 and can be customized.
You probably don't have 50 devices on your network and probably will never have 50 simultaneous devices on your network.
... just do a reconfigure reboot and set your Solaris to use a static IP of 192.068.0.45
Then reboot and I predict your issue that prompted this forum thread will be gone.
That's how I've done it at home for many years, even when installing Solaris to bare metal (no virtualization).

Getting the server Host name in Action Script?

Good Morning --
Is it possible in a flash movie (CS3/AS 3.0) to get the host
name of the
server running the flash movie?
For example, if the URL is
http://www.domain.com/movie.swf,
I would like to
be able to read a variable / function and have the result be
"domain.com"
Thanks

Excellent! Thank you. I will give this a shot.

Naming workstations - setting host name

I would like to know if there is a way to set host names for multiple
computers once I re-image them with the same base image. I was thinking I
could create a bunch of reg keys something like "lab1-01", "lab1-02" etc.
and register computers in the lab as per their physical location.
It seems though that all their host names will remain the same as per the
original one of the base image. I then can not remote via the host name
unlike with Zen 7 when I could do that in ConsoleOne which did not rely on
host names I believe. So ideally I would like to have an easy way to
populate host names ( and maybe computer names, too ) during registration,
is that at all possible ?
Andrew

I am pretty sure that ZCM 10 also has a policy or setting, which if I
remember is not enabled by default, which will rename the device names
if the workstation name changes.
Here it is ...
Configuration | Device Management | Registration
At the bottom is a section called "Device Dynamic Rename", with t a
checkbox for "Enable automatic renaming of devices". Here is what the
help file says:
Device Dynamic Rename
The Device Dynamic Rename panel lets you enable devices to be renamed,
if necessary, whenever they refresh their registration information. A
device might need to be renamed for the following reasons:
The naming template being applied to the device has changed.
A different naming template (for example, a folder naming
template rather than the Management Zone naming template) is now being
applied to the device.
Because a devices GUID and not its name is used for all relationships
with other ZENworks objects (folders, groups, bundles, policies, and so
forth), renaming the device does not affect anything other than the name
that is displayed in ZENworks Control Center.
You can define this setting at two levels:
Management Zone: The setting is inherited by all devices.
Device Folder: The setting is inherited by all devices contained
within the folder or its subfolders. Overrides the Management Zone setting.
NOTE:If you are configuring the setting on a device folder, you need to
click Override settings before you can modify the setting.

Dynamic global hostname is not saving

I was trying to setup my new airport time capsure to use dyn. When I tried to add the dynamic host name and tsig information on a mac using the airport utility it would not save. When I entered the information from the airport utility on an iphone it saved the information and I am able to verify that it is there from the mac.
So my question: is this an issue with my information (domain name, tsig etc) that I am trying to enter or is it an issue with the airport utility on the mac
My airport is running version 7.7.1
The airport utility on the mac is 6.3 (630.34)
and the airport utility on the iphone is the current one from the appstore
-Philip Hutson

after buying a domain name, spending moeny at DynDns and then 6 hours trying to configure it i found this,
From DynDns:
Note: as of version 6.1 of the Airport Utility and 7.6.1 router firmware, the Apple Airport Extreme and Time Capsule routers no longer offer the ability to configure wide-area bonjour. This has effectively caused these Apple routers to no longer support sending updates to Dyn Standard DNS. If you are attempting to set up earlier versions of the Airport Utility and firmware, you can use these instructions, but this is an experimental feature, we cannot provide technical support for this setup. If you need assistance, check out the Dyn Community.
