Fixed IP address for local printer server?

I have five computers sharing (LAN) one printer. The computer connected to the local printer, at present, the IP address changes depending which computer first start in the morning. In other words, today its 192.168.0.102 and tomorrow 192.168.0.105, etc. How to config the printer server to maintain a fixed IP?

just to be polite:
- your are a mod
- you did more than 2k posts
- you ask such a question?
is the print server you are talking about the computer with the local printer attached? then address the computer with a fixed ip.
if it is attached to a print server, then you have to configure the print server. either by web interface or the way it has to be configured.
almost every router can be configured to assign fixed ips to computers, i.e. by the mac address.
otherwise provide more information.

How do I open ports on my airport extreme and assign a fixed IP Address for a device connected to my network?

I recently had a security system installed in my house. One of the features is an EPAD which enables me to have a virtual keypad on my iphone, and computer to operate the alarm system. The technician was not familiar with Mac's and Airports. How do I open port 80 to 80 in my airport and assign a fixed IP address for the EPAD? Apparently this is what is needed to make this work.

There are three ranges of "strictly local" IP addresses reserved for local Network use:
192.168.xxx.yyy
172.16.xxx.yyy
10.xxx.yyy.zzz
What your Router does for you is to act as your agent on the Internet.Your requests are packaged up and forwarded on your behalf, and only when a response is expected is the response returned to your local IP address.
Directing Network Traffic to a Specific Computer on Your
Network (Port Mapping)
AirPort Extreme uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to share a single IP address with the computers that join the AirPort Extreme network. To provide Internet access to several computers with one IP address, NAT assigns private IP addresses to each computer on the AirPort Extreme network, and then matches these addresses with port numbers. The wireless device creates a port-to-private IP address table entry when a computer on your AirPort (private) network sends a request for information to the Internet.
If you’re using a web, AppleShare, or FTP server on your AirPort Extreme network, other computers initiate communication with your server. Because the Apple wireless device has no table entries for these requests, it has no way of directing the information to the appropriate computer on your AirPort network.
To ensure that requests are properly routed to your web, AppleShare, or FTP server, you need to establish a permanent IP address for your server and provide inbound port mapping information to your Apple wireless device.
To set up inbound port mapping:
1) Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Base Station > Manual Setup, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the password if necessary.
2) Click the Advanced button, and then click Port Mapping.
3) Click the Add button and choose a service, such as Personal File Sharing, from the Service pop-up menu.

Failed to get IP address for Local Host (2) , OPMNCTL: opmn start failed

HI,
Hi, I have installed on Oracle 10g on Redhat Enterprise Linux V.2.1 . I was able to start OEM without any issues. Recently I had changed the static IP address and I couldn't able to start OPMNCTL and getting the following error while starting opmnctl start. error message is as follows.
Failed to get IP address for local host(2).....
Failed to get IP address for local host(2).....
Failed to get IP address for local host(2).....
my current configuration in /etc/hosts file is as follows.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain servername
After going through some of threads available in Oracle, I have added the static IP address in the /etc/hosts but still I am getting the same error.
my new hosts file is as follows.
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain servername
10.21.253.102 localhost.localdomain servername
I don't know why this is looking for localhost (2). I did not set up any local host (2) and I could not see anything in my network confiuration also.
could you please help me in this issue? I appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks
venkat

Hi, i think that the application server part is looking for a /etc/hosts entry
in this format:
127.0.0.1 localhost
As i noticed, this is used for internal communication.
Try this entry as is, without a domain...

Dell 968w..how do I set the IP address for network printing?

Attempting to connect my Dell 968w to the network for access by my HP and Dell laptops. Dell said I need an IP address for the printer..how do I set the address???

you need to contact dell printer support for this info...this is usually done by printing a network config page on your printer & you'll see the printer ip address there.

Steps to change IP address for SAP B1 server

Dear Guru
My company is going to change the IP address of SAP B1 server, because I am very new in this area, so pls clarify for me the following doubt
1. May I change the IP address with the SAP B1 is running?
2. If I need to stop the B1 services, how can I stop it? Stop at windows service level? or is there any console for me to stop the service like SAP R3?
3. Do I need to stop the MSSQL service as well?
4. Do I need to reboot the server before I startup the SAP B1 service?
Regards
Guodong

Dear Guodong,
Just assuming you have only one question since that is the forum rule.
To change IP address for SAP B1 server, you need to Stop and restart the server to prevent the potential problem. B1 is not the same as R/3, you have to stop all B1 related services.
Thanks,
Gordon

How can I view the IP or DNS address for Adobe Media Server

Hello, I am trying to use AMS to conduct a live school news broadcast. Currently I can view the stream using `localhost,` but how can I figure out what IP or DNS address to use to make the stream public. While I can stream on the same network the viewers are on, I'd like to make it visible to anyone.

Are you streaming from your own PC?!
For local tests, you can get your ip address by opening a command line and running ipconfig.
Assuming that your PC's firewall doesn't block the relevant ports, then others on your network could see it by replacing "localhost" with that ip.
For release... you may want to move your server.

Determining IP address of SMC print server

I have three OS X Macs and one Windows XP PC in my house and I'm trying to get an SMC print server (SMC2621W-U) working with my Samsung ML-1210 printer so I can hide the printer away in a closet. I need the server's IP address to access its web interface.
The server's manual says: "You can use your DHCP server, if I have one, to determine the IP address allocated to the Wireless Print Server". Unfortunately I have little idea what that is or how I'd find it. Is it a part of my router (Linksys WRT54G)? Is that on my ISP's side of things? Is there any other way to determine my print server's IP address? The server is hooked up to the router and the printer as instructed in the manual.
ps: SMC has a Windows utility which is supposed to find the print server on the network and give you it's IP, but unfortunately the installer I downloaded keeps crashing. I also tried holding down the Diagnostic button to print a test page, but while the printer's data light flashes, nothing prints.
I'd be grateful for any tips/suggestions/info/work-arounds. Thanks!!

Update: I found the print server web setup page by trial and error. It says it is running, and under "printer info" it had the correct model name for my printer. However when I send print jobs or try to print a test page, the data light on the printer still lights up but nothing else happens. Anyone have any idea why this is so? Is it possible that the ML-1210 just isn't compatible with this print server?

How to use a ip address for pop & smtp server names when creating a new account

My xp PC is on a lan behind a Freebsd os [IE. flavor of unix] which is not running a dns server. The only way to reach it is by ip address. I have configured the account with a ip address for pop & smtp. When I create and sent a email, Thunderbird shows a window saying it trying to connect and after 10 seconds it goes away with out showing the status window. There is no email in the sent folder. Is it possible to do this ???? I can accomplish this using ms/outlook so I know it is possible.

I haven't tried this in years, but could you give this server a name and enter that into TB
Then in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts you add that name and ip

Pre won't let me put in an ip address for a mail server name when adding a new account.

It was a known issue at the time of launch. There was a recent over-the-air update that addressed at least one Exchange sync issue (now allows http:// in addition to https:// access), but I have not read about whether it resolves the IP Address issue.

Best Practice for a Print Server

What is the best practice for having a print server serving over 25 printers 10 of which are colour lasers and the rest black and white lasers.
Hardware
At the moment we have one server 2Ghz Dual G5 with 4GB Ram and xserve RAID. The server is also our main Open directory server, with about 400+ clients.
I want to order a new server and want to know the best type of setup for the optimal print server.
Thanks

Since print servers need RAM and spool space, but not a lot of processing power, I'd go with a Mac Mini packed with ram and the biggest HD you can get into it. Then load a copy of Xserver Tiger on it and configure your print server there.
Another option, if you don't mind used equipment, is to pick up an old G4 or G5 Xserve, load it up with RAM and disk space, and put tiger on that.
Good luck!

Can't add datasource for local SQL Server Express

I can't get new datasource to connect to a local SQL Server Express (2008).
On SSE, I enabled non-NTLM authentication, created an account specifically for CFServer, and was able to log into SQL Server through Management Studio. But the datasource still won't connect.
When I enter computerName/SQLServerName for the Server, I get a message saying "...The requested instance is either invalid or not running."
When I enter just SQLServerName, message says "Error establishing socket. Unknown host: SQLServerName."
When I enter (local), I get a message saying "Error establishing socket. Unknown host: (local)"
When I enter 127.0.0.1, message says "Error establishing socket to host and port: 127.0.0.1:1433. Reason: Connection refused: connect"
I don't know why the first is considered invalid, or why the fourth is refusing connection. Am I forgetting something?

I found the solution, which doesn't have to do with Coldfusion, but rather with configuring SQL Server for TCP/IP. In case someone else ever stumbles upon this post with a similar problem, I wrote about it at http://forums.devshed.com/ms-sql-development-95/trying-to-connect-to-sql-server-on-localho st-1433t-958558.html.

Connecting Mac Pro to two (2) PCs for a print server

I would like to be able to use a PC with windows xp on it as a print server. I can get the mac's print to flash on the print server's screen, but as soon as that happens the printer dialog is stopped. What am I missing?

Yes. It is possible.
I have it at work. Internal video media and internal company LAN.
One is at 192.x.x.x. the other at company range.
Also used on XSAN for external and internal metadata. That is why there are 2 NIC's.

How to configure macbook for Linksys print server

Fail-over options for Standalone Print Server

Our organization recently set up 3 2012 r2 Print Servers to handle 3 separate sites. Each printer server contains only the printers within the site - which makes each server a standalone print server. I'm concern with the issue of not
having a fail-over plan in place, in the event one of my server should fail. Does anyone have any fail-over suggestions.

Hi Thomas,
If we want to create a clustered printer server, we need to created another print server in the same site.

How do i sign up and what email address do i use for my printer do i make a new address for my print

HP photosmart premium all in one printer How do i set up for email to my printer do i need to make a new email just for the printer or use my email address

Hi jsavat,
You can change your printer's email address from the main page of the ePrint Center site with these steps:
1. Log into the ePrint Center page if you haven't already done so.
2. Click your Printer's tab, and then click "Change" next to your product's e-mail address.
3. Type an e-mail address in the dialog box. The e-mail address can be 6 to 30 characters, and can be a combination of letters, numbers, an underscore, and up to two dots.
4. Click "Check". The ePrintCenter system checks if the e-mail address is available.
5. If the address is available, click "Save".
Let me know if this helps.
