Fios Router (Coax Connected) and pfSense box, how to do this?
Hello, I have a Actiontec M1424WR Rev. 1 and a HP Proliant DL380 G5 (Running pfSense) and would like to use the HP Proliant as the "router" yet still be able to use the Actiontec router for wireless operations. I would perfer not to have to run a ethernet line from the ONT to the pfSense server its self. Thanks!
Solved!

It's possible, yes. If you plan to make the pfSense box your primary router and Firewall, your best bet is to run Ethernet from the ONT to the pfSense box, and then put everything behind your box.

Am from India. when i tried to turn on face time the error displayed is" Could not sign in. Check your network connection and try again". how can it be resolved?
If you are using someone else's WiFi they may have restrictions in place.
(cofee shop, etc..)
Have you tried connecting using at least more than one particular WiFi network ?
You might want to try googling for a bandwidth test site
verify you have reasonable throughput..
1 megabit up and 1 megabit down..
(bandwidthplace.com is what I typically use..) -
Something software related prevented me from being able to boot up my iMAC. The remedy was to wipe the computer of all soft wear and re-inatall everything via my time capsule. All good there.. but now I cannot open Ai and a box stating"Licensing for this product has stopped working" and to reference error code 150:30. How do I get my Ai to open?

while purchasing something from my iphone ( it says : cannot connect to itunes store ) how to fix this?
Hello Emamoe,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when making an in-app purchase on your iPhone. I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue.
First, I recommend using the steps in the section titled “Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch” in the following article (the article title refers to the iTunes Store, but the steps are relevant for the App Store as well):
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
If the issue persists after following the steps in that section, I recommend continuing with the steps in the section titled “Isolate the issue: (Mac OS X, Windows, iOS)” in the article below. This section will help you isolate the network issue that could be blocking you on those apps:

FIOS router causing static and popping noises on computer audio
Hi, I'm a less than two week old FIOS internet user and am loving the speed and service but I have one problem. The FIOS router seems to be causing static popping noises my desktop computers audio that is connected to the FIOS router by the yellow Ethernet cable. Theses noises don't occur on any of the laptops connected to the router by the wireless or when I connect a laptop to the router via a Ethernet cable.
Ways I found to eliminate the noises temporary:
Restarting the desktop computer or shutting down then turning on the desktop computer.
Ways I found to eliminate the noises permanently
Turning off and unplugging the router.
Hooking up the FIOS router via the Ethernet cable to a laptop. I unfortunately do not have a wireless built into my desktop.
What I've tried and failed
First I thought it was the Ethernet cable, so I replaced it. The noises did not go away.
I thought it might be the headset I use which are connected to the computer by a usb port. Unplugging the headset and using earphones which are connect to the computer by the audio slot did not eliminate the noises.
Then I contacted Verizon, and they thought it might be a faulty router, so they sent me a new one. The noises unfortunately did not go away.
I then thought the noises might be occurring because the router was close to the computer. So I moved the router as far away as possible from the computer (its connect to the router by a Ethernet cable so it wasn't that far) but the noises didn't go away.
Notes & Points
The noises do not start the moment I turn on the router and computer, but a hour or two after.
I think I've narrowed the problem down to occurring only when the desktop computer is connected to the router by the Ethernet cable. Though replacing the Ethernet cable has not resolved the issue.
I also have found that location of the FIOS router also doesn't matter since the noises did not return even though the router was right up against the computer when I connected the FIOS router to my laptop.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64, 3.5 gigs of ram, and a dual 2.0 GHz processor.
So that sums up my problem. If you guys have any tips or ideas of how to fix my issue, it would be greatly appreciated.Sounds like a shielding problem on the AUDIO cables or a grounding issue. PC sound systems are notorious for having lousy audio cables feeding (I regularly pickup the local FM station on my speakers).
Try replacing the audio cables with better quality shield cables and see if that helps.
Are the router, speakers, and PC all plugged into the same outlet? Are they all polarized plugs? If note, try flipping the power plug on the non-polarized connections.
The sound could be coming from interference INSIDE the PC itself ... the proximity of sound cables inside and the audio chipset to the ethernet chipset. You didn't indicate if the audio/ethernet are on the motherboard or seperate cards. If they are seperate cards, try relocating the cards furfher from one another inside the chassis and also look at the audio cable (particularly the analog cable that runs from the CD to the audio card to make sure it's not routed past or near the ethernet electronics.
How far distant is the router from the PC? If you pull the ethernet cable from the router (not turn if off, unplug the ethernet cable running to the PC), does it stop? -
Solution for Apple TV 2, Xfinity router, Ethernet connection and Home Sharing
I have read over the past week the problems people have been having configuring their Apple TV and Home Sharing. I was experiencing the same issues as others....until tonight. I finally got it to work with an Ethernet connection. Previously, I was only able to get it to work via wifi and home sharing would drop after awhile.
1) Xfinity router settings. Like others I was suspicious if the Xfinity router was causing the issues because of the separation between wifi network and Ethernet network. It's not the router problem. I disabled the firewall. Enabled port forwarding. Gave a static IP address to the Apple TV. Added forwarding of ports
123 TCP
3689 UDP (all other support says this should be TCP but searched through and found a thread that suggested changing to UDP...this was the key)
5353 UDP
80 TCP
443 TCP
53 TCP
DMZ is off
Device discovery is disabled
Port triggering is disabled.
The wifi is setup and functional using DHCP. Lease time is 1 week.
RESET ROUTER AFTER ENTERING CONFIGURATION.
2) Mac computer. As of this posting the latest version of iTunes installed. Latest Safari version. All programs updated. Turned on Home Sharing. Turned off firewall. Gave Mac a static IP address. Set Mac for hard drive to never sleep. Set monitor to sleep after 15 minutes. Set date and time to automatically find based upon time zone. ( Apple TV needs to be set to the same time zone as computer and set to manual). Enabled file sharing amongst users on Mac.
3) Apple TV. Ethernet connection. Configured TCP/IP to static IP address I configured on router for the Apple TV. Turned on AirPlay. Set date and time to manual and set as the same time zone as the computer with iTunes. Turned on Home Sharing. Using latest version of Apple TV.
Once the router was reset ( not restored and not just resetting the wifi. A complete router reset), the Apple TV found my iTunes library. It's been running now for over an hour and no drop in the home sharing. Working beautifully. I will be testing in the next couple days allowing the Apple TV to sleep, turning the firewall on the router to a minimal setting to see if it changes anything.
Just tested the AirPlay from my iPad 2 to the Apple TV while the Apple TV is connected via ethernet connection and it works. At this point it appears that the setup is correct and complete with no errors.
As a side note, the Ethernet connection between my router and Mac is via commercial devices using the power outlets as the wiring.
Hope this helps many of you that were/ are struggling to get this to work like I was.spma3,
Appreciate your further message. As you say "it's not fixed", but at least your solution appears to be a viable workaround!
My Cisco RVS4000 Router will permit me to forward ports for up to 15 applications. Of these, thirteen already have default entries added, although none of these are presently Enabled. For example, here's just 2 lines...
Application HTTP NTP
External Port 80 123
Internal Port 80 123
Protocol TCP UDP
IP Address No entries at both
and the Enabled box for both is unchecked. In fact none of these 13 possibilities is Enabled.
To do what you are advising, I would need to...
1) Enable the above Port 123 entry, changing it from UDP-->TCP.
2) Add new entries for 3689 UDP & 5353 UDP... using the two free slots at the end of the table.
3) Select three of the default entries, and reconfigure them for 80 TCP; 443 TCP; 53 TCP, all as per your guidance. And Enable them.
Now, my present setup here has...
1) My PC is wired straight to Port 2 of the Router, and has a Static IP Address set.
My new ATV2 is hard-wired into the same subnet, albeit thru a series of switches, and again a Static IP is set. My understanding is that hard wiring an ATV automatically disables its WiFi.
3) My wife's iPad2 is set for DHCP, so it can pick up an IP Address when on the move. It connects into the LAN using one of two WAP4410N Wireless Access Points. Ch-1 & Ch-6, with same SSID and security stuff set up on both. The WAPs in turn are wired in, again with Static IPs set. So depending where she is in the property she can connect with excellent signal strength, reaching the ATV2 by WiFi+LAN.
On the Router DMZ is OFF, Port Range Triggering has no entries, nothing is Enabled, so is OFF. No idea about Device Discovery!
Home Sharing is ON for the PC, ATV2 and iPad2, with the same Apple ID/Password set for each. It does work, just not consistently as it should.
So to fully implement your idea, all I need to do is to enter these details. But I am unclear which IP Address I should put in at each new Single Port Forwarding entry field. Certainly not the iPad2, as its DHCP allocated value will change. Is it the ATV2 or the PC? Not sure, please clarify.
BTW, I have no plan to deactivate my AVG Firewall on this PC. It is happy to pass all traffic related to iTunes, so cannot see this as a factor. Time zone same on all equipment.
I tried with just 3689 UDP and 5353 UDP yesterday, and things were definitely better. I used 192.168.20.227, the IP Address for the ATV2.
Look forward to your answer. -

Install Mac OS X, i am facing mac os x cannot be installed because you aren't connected to the internet how to solve this
rpotala,
if you are trying to install OS X onto an erased disk or onto a newly formatted disk, and your Mac originally came from the factory with Lion or newer installed, then you will need Internet access to perform an OS X Internet Recovery.
If your Mac originally came from the factory with Snow Leopard or older installed, then you will need to install Mac OS X from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD that originally came in the box with your Mac. -

When placing a bluetooth call the car shows that the phone is connected but there is no ringing (it is still ringing in the phone speaker). Then the person answers and it plays through the car speaker, but misses the first word. What is happening? I used to hear the phone ringing. Now it waits until the person answers.
This occurred when I updated the IOS to 8 and switched to an iphone 6 from a 5.
I read both articles and did not find a solution to my dilemma. To clarify further:
When hooked up through bluetooth to my 2011 Honda Accord
- incoming calls will ring the phone through the speakers and I can answer and speak through the speakers/car microphone by touching a switch on my steering wheel
- outgoing calls that I initiate by touching the phone number on the phone will ring in the phone until the person picks up, it then switches to the car speakers (unfortunately, the hand-off results in missing a word or two that the answering person has said). This did not work this way with my iphone 5 and ios 7.
I hope this is better communicated and there is an answer.
Thanks. -
The photos imported are zooming in and out and are out and in focus-how to resolve this?
Hi all,
I just started creating a short film which will consist of photos and voice over. After importing the photos, each of them is being zoomed in and out and is once slightly blurry and once in focus- none of the effects are on and I am a bit stuck. Does anyone know how to get rid of this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!The effect you are seeing is known as the Ken Burns effect, which shows panning and zooming on the images. This is iMovie's default setting for still photos. To change this setting, go to iMovie's Menu and select File>Project Properties. In the window that opens, for the item "Initial Photo Placement" choose Fit in Frame (click on the disclosure arrows). The other options are Crop and Ken Burns. You will need to do this for each Project that you start - change the setting before dragging photos to the Project.
For your current project you will also need to change the setting for each image already inserted, given that they have already been included in the project. To do this on an image, there are several options. One way is to click on the image (clip) then press the C key on the keyboard. In the viewer you will see selections for Fit, Crop and Ken Burns - select Fit, then click on Done. Now the photo will remain stationary, with no pan or zoom.
Another method is to click on the small gear icon at the left corner of the clip, then select Cropping, Ken Burns and Rotation from the pop-up menu. Again, the various selections will appear in the Viewer. Also, you can click on the Crop tool in the centre toolbar (directly to the right of the microphone icon).
To change the setting for a number of photos (rather than doing them individually), select them by clicking on the first photo then clicking on the last one while holding down the Shift key - that's assuming they are all grouped together (contiguous). If not grouped, then click on each one while holding down the Command key. Once all clips have been selected (highlighted with a yellow border), you can make your selections as to Fit, Crop and Ken Burns, as described earlier. All highlighted photos will then have their setting changed. Don't forget to click on Done after changing the setting!
