Extreme w/static IP doesn't work well with iPhone

At our school I've installed a new Extreme Base Station, but we're having trouble with a couple of iPhones not automatically picking it up. Sometimes using the web browser or email makes it connect, but not always.
Our school district requires that the Base Station have a static IP address, and it's just bridging our wired network, not doing DHCP. With my older Airport at home the iPhone picks it up even before I can get out of my car in the garage - but it's not a static IP and there is another router on my network doing DHCP.
Does the static IP and no DHCP make the Airport connection not as automatic at school? I got this because one of our principals and I both have iPhones - and he's not real happy so far with it.
Any ideas welcome.

If your base station has a static IP address, what about any computers that are connecting to it? If there are any such, what are they using for IP addresses?
Everything in the entire school district (80+ schools, 50,000+ students) has a static IP.
Do you know why your school district has that policy? Would they be willing to allocate a set of IP addresses to your base station, so that you could configure it to "Distribute a range of IP addresses"?
I think they perceive the static IP approach to be more secure. No, we're not allowed to do any DHCP anywhere in the entire district - I've asked
It seems to be working fairly well now, it's just odd. If I stand near the base station with my iPhone:
-sometimes it automatically switches to the wifi icon
-sometimes it doesn't, but then does when you use Mail or Safari
-sometimes it uses 3G instead of wifi at first
It's like it takes 30-90 seconds for the iPhone to really recognize and use the wifi. I have never seen that before and the only difference is that this base station and the iPhone are static IPs and no DHCP.

  • Urgent - Upgraded Form doesn't works well with values saved by previous ver

    Hi all,
    Form i m working on has changed many times due to change in requirments.
    Everytime i do addition in old form, it doesn't works well be data saved by older versions.
    e.g.
    Current Version that i have upgraded fetchs the data well from database on query. But when i save it, clear or exit the form and then re-query that data, it doesn't show up instead meassage comes that query caused no records to be fetched.
    i checked at database level, data is there.
    and when i tried to call data from old form, it also refused to show it (data that was previously entered by itself but then saved by new form).
    what could be the problem and i can i resolve it.
    plz note that in all of this process, there are no database level changes, only form level changes.
    regards,
    yasir

    sounds like spaces are being padded at the end of the data
    check the length of the values you've changed in sqlplus and see if they are indeed right padded

  • Sun one server 6.0 doesn't work well with explorer

    We've sun one server 6.0 sp4 running in a sparc server as SSL server and too as common server on port 80. The most our clients , 95%, are explorer browser users.
    The server has known bugs with SSL3 , interoperatibility with MSIE problem 532427. The solutions suggested in the server documentation don't work. We tryed the solutions suggested many times and in few time we got complaints from clients, people get "this page can't be displayed". I had to set the server to work with SSL2 only , althought security's reports tell that this protocol is not safe.
    The second bug is concern the latencies loading pages with explorer. I apply the solution suggested, KeepAliveQueryMeanTime 1, it doesn't work well too. We don't feel the latencies on new machines or light browsers as avant , but we still feel these latencies with old machines or if the users uses modem. A lot of people still see very strong latencies.
    I feel the server wasn't tested enough with explorer browser , it has so many compatibility problems with this browser.I think for the most webmasters the perfect compatibility with explorer is very important.
    We payed for this server and it is worst than apache ,apache group fixed the SSL problem long time ago. Only one thing we need doesn't work well in apache then we contenue to use sun one server. But this diference is not enough to justify the use of this server if sun don't fix these problems. I'm talking about problems they exist more than 1 year, they were when i installed the server then i contenue to work with iplanet 4.1 and SSL2. I read the new version server characteristics, version 6.1 , i didn't find anything telling that these problems were fixed.

  • Am I Understanding Correctly That iPhoto Doesn't Work Well With Others?

    After reading all the previous posts and topics on iPhoto vs. LR2 and such with RAW/NEF file formats, they simply don't work well with each other, right?
    Basically, what I am trying to understand like a lot of others is that the way they read/write file info is dramatically different.
    I just started using LR2 in the trial period and maybe I'm just not used to it yet but I still like using iPhoto for organizing my library of photos; it seems a lot easier with the folders and albums and such.
    I also started using Nikon's RAW format NEF and working with them in iPhoto is a loser it seems.
    Other than the obvious increase and control and options availabe for editing in LR, is iPhoto all that bad with working with NEF or RAW files? What is the downside to it?
    Thanks for reading.

    The problem is that Lightroom and iPhoto are essentially the type of application.
    They are both Photo Managers, they both want to own and control the pics, to be your central “go to” app for whenever you want to get a photo. Obviously only one can be the primary application.
    Lightroom - a rather more expensive application - is a professional app, aimed at the Pro Photographer. It’s a rather more powerful app in pretty much every way. For a point of comparison, Lightroom is closer to Apple’s Aperture rather than iPhoto.
    On top of that, earlier versions of Lightroom had a bug in the way that it wrote metadata to the file and iPhoto was unable to import these files - tho’ I believe that’s been fixed since.
    As to the RAW/NEF issue, There’s no point dealing in filetypes. Each model of camer produces a different RAW file, so what you need to tell us is the Model of Nikon you use. For instance iPhoto imports the NEFs from my D40 with no problems.
    As to “working well with others” iPhoto integrates with just abou every app on your mac, make the pics available in every ‘Open...’ dialogue in the OS, with Mail app and an any image editor you care to mention.

  • Track pad doesn't work well with photoshop

    Hi,
    While using photoshop home, sometimes I don't conect my tablet, as far as I'm good using the trackpad. Lately it doesn't work anymore as a brush, samp, eraser or whatever uses a brush size.
    Reboot everything is the only way it works but not for long, after some operations in photoshop back to the problem...
    Any help?,
    Thanks

  • Which bluetooth headset works well with iPhone

    I was very happy with a Plantronics bluetooth headset for a long time, until it broke. Now I have tested three Plantonics bluetooth sets with my iPhone4 and all had connection problems, which I never had with my Android phone. People keep saying "I can't hear you" unless I put the iPhone in front of my mouth. I don't know why. So, which bluetooth headset have worked well for you with your iPhone?

    there are 2 types of bluetooth headsets
    the traditional headset which is typical mono and connect to 1 ear and only do phone calls
    then there is the a2dp which is typical stereo and play all audio also games, video and music
    a2dp is typical bigger being stereo and all and often cost more

  • Itunes doesn't work well with icloud - will Match make it perfect?

    I was quite excited by the security and convenience possibilities of icloud and music. I am very disappointed that I have to buy a yearly subscription service to get if to work properly.
    I am about to go through the six steps to get match for itunes working. And *that* requires a computer that I don't have.
    Background: When I heard about icloud I thought 'What a great concept! I can backup everything - I lose my phone, my music - no problem.'
    Not quite. Aside from other problems with icloud (another post coming) itunes is NOT integrated with icloud. NEW USERS BE WARNED. Weird thing is that icloud works for everything else, even my 1800 videos and photographs.
    I did a restore from icloud and about 30% of my songs did not show up, 25% of my playlists were greyed out (empty) and 15% had disappeared. Songs showed up in some lists (purchased) but not others (albums?) What the heck? I observed that going to my account at itunes store showed everything and there was a cloud symbol with a downwards arrow, i.e. download. I have slow wifi at home and no data service on my phone so this was a headache downloading all my songs one by one and reorganizing/creating playlists manually. Imagine if I had 50000 songs! This hassle was even though *all* songs were purchased from itunes. Nit a single ripped CD or torrented song.
    Based on multiple previous disappointments and different stories depending on who I talk to at Apple I am skeptical of whether Itunes Match will truly make my iphone5 musical experience seamless and problem-free. I have 5000 songs from various sources (mostly ripped CDs from public libraries but also some internet sources) on a hard drive overseas and the concept of replacing them with superior bit rates and album art is appealing. But I am cautious. His do I know Apple doesn't change the rules 5 years from now - technically or legally? And if I miss a yearly payment will my songs self-destruct?

    iCloud is not iTunes Match. The two services are seperate and distinct and one service does not require the other. iTunes Match does not use iCloud storage, nor is it a backup service.
    iTunes Match only scans, matches and uploads tracks in an iTunes library. It does not not do this on an iOS device. You cannot even purchase iTunes Match except through iTunes on a computer.
    You should take a look at this page to get a better idea of what iTunes Match is and does: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • Any iPod Accessories that work well with iPhone?

    I have been wondering this because there are hardly any accessories for the iPhone out. I really want a car speaker transmitter but of course, they have none available yet. Thanks for any posts!

    I bought the Shure Music Phone Adapter from the Apple store and love it! It's a great way to accomplish several things:
    1. Adapter to make all headphones work.
    2. Converts all headphones into amazing hands-free telephone device.
    3. Provides wired remote control of play, pause, next song, and answer call.
    Here's my review:

  • Is it true that Thunderbird does no longer works well with POP mail servers and only works well with IMAP servers?

    Our email host is telling us that our outdated POP mail server doesn't work well with Thunderbird and it the reason we're having sporadic difficulty sending out emails with attachments when using Thunderbird (no problems when sending emails directly from the email host's web portal and bypassing Thunderbird). We'll often get notification when using Thunderbird and trying to attach PDF'd documents to an email that "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server timed out." The email host company is advising that this problem will be solved if we upgrade from the free POP email to the not free IMAP email. True? Or are they just using this Thunderbird problem as an excuse to sign us up for unnecessary services?

    I think they are using this as an excuse.
    Messages are sent via SMTP. Both, POP and IMAP are protocols to receive mail.
    In any case, it would be '''their''' 'outdated POP mail server', not yours.
    Check this article for troubleshooting the problem.

    I just downlouded the latest version of the Muse CC and it doesn't work well, it freezes all the time, in particular with the tools. Example the selection tool doesn't wor at all. Is there any solution for this problem?

    Hi!
    I restarted the computer, but the same issue happens again. When I move my mouse over some object or tool, it doesn’t come active at all (only some of the tools works) When I try to change “site properties”, I can’t choose tablet or phone mode or even I can’t select the checkboxes, only thing what I can do is change the numbers (high and width) . After all the main problem is that I can’t select some of the items or functions by mouse, but only by the keyboard.

  • Audio out port doesn't work well

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Early 2011. Since I bought it I always use my Mac whit headphones, but since a month it only works well the left headphone. I think that the problem it was my headphones but no, because I used it on my phone and workes well. So i come to the conclusion that the audio out port doesn't work well. What you think? And what you recommend to me to fix this problem?

    Probably still under warranty, but not for long. Take it to the Apple Store or AASP to have it checked ASAP.

  • TS3367 facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8. I need to make a call several times to connect.

    Facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8.
    When I make a facetime call, it doesn't sound some times on the other side.
    When it rings on the other side and is answered, it says (connecting), but it is still ringing on my side and never connected.
    After that, I disconnect and make a second call, it sometimes connects, but not everytime.
    I need to call several times to connect. It is really hard to connect through facetime after upgrading to ios8.
    I purchased three iPad so far because of this good feature (facetime).
    Please fix this issue as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    There are two easy fixes to this.
    One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
    Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
    Hope this helps!

    Gmail doesn't work well on my ipad, it gets hung all the time. Can you kindly help me?

    You probably want to start by updating your OS, if your information is correct and you are still running 5.1.1. You may also want to try the Gmail app. I find it works very well.
