Ftp/networking with uverse

So back in June I had an issue with my ftp not being able to reach servers while on my home att uverse network. Archived here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2048726&tstart=180
After several weeks of restarting the att wireless router/modem and creating new networks, it finally worked. Now I'm back to where I started, unable to connect to ftp serves, with the exact same issues. The created network is the exact same.
Also the apple software update server is inaccessible for the same reasons.
Edit: All other network issues work fine, i.e. internet, email, etc.
Any clues as to why this problem occurs with uverse? Solutions? Purely an issue with uverse?

Well, I did not attempt to utilize this potential solution because everything is working again. So for three days, I couldn't connect to software update or my ftp servers, and now, without changing any settings, it's working fine.
I'm inclined to agree that it's an issue with Uverse in general. Which is a shame, because there bundled packages and the actual service has been outstanding, barring this issue. As a whole, much better than my experiences with Time Warner.

  • Having trouble setting up my network with Uverse.  How do I get everything to play nice?

    My ISP is AT&T Uverse. 1 TV is through an ethernet port and the other 2 are wireless connections (through the WAP that AT&T provided).
    I have a Synology DS213+ (DSM 4.1) and a new gen Airport Express.
    Not sure if it is better to try to run in bridge mode or router behind a router?  Does anyone know the pros/cons?
    1st I'd like to setup to where I use the DS213 to back up my macbook, host iTunes, and a USB printer.
    2nd I'd like to be able to access the DS213 over the internet, I've been told that it won't work with the Uverse router, so this is why I got the Airport express.
    I ran into an IP conflict and it made the wi-fi unaccessible.  Just got everything reset to the factory settings, tvs and wifi working again.  Currently the AE and DS are NOT connected to anything. I'm a little shy to try anything new until I have a full plan/steps.
    I'm pretty sure I can do step 1, but wanted to see if step 2 is possible before I start configuring anything.
    Any advice out there?

    If you are connecting to you home wi-fi, then the password will be whatever you at it to be.

  • Need Time Capsule to join new existing network after Uverse box swap SSID

    When I first bought my Time Capsule it was creating my wireless network.
    Then last year we moved to a new house, and got Uverse service. I successfully changed Time Capsule's config to join the existing Uverse network, so the TC does backup and nothing else. (The Uverse box is in the basement, so the TC connects to that network and all client machines over the Uverse wifi.)
    Now I just had problems with Uverse (lost voice service, and so they swapped their box, which means I have a new SSID (and password). So I need to change the config of the TC to join the different existing network. I've tried connecting an Ethernet cable to both the WAN and other-Ethernet ports on the back of the TC, but the Airport Utility on that desktop still doesn't recognize the TC.
    What do I do?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    The problem is that the ethernet ports on the TC are not enabled when it "joins", so that type of connection between your computer and the TC won't work.
    The other issue is that the TC is remembering the old wireless network and you can't access it that way any longer.
    You'll need to perform a "hard reset" on the TC by holding in the reset button until the amber light blinks more quickly, then reconfigure the device using the settings from the new wireless network.
    This will not affect your existing backups, but you will need to reset Time Machine to point it as the Time Capsule again.

  • How can I extend my wireless network with the Time Capsule?

    I recently bought a Time Capsule and set it up, backed up all my data, etc. It is currently plugged in to my AT&T Uverse wireless router via a LAN CAT5e cable. I am wondering if it is possible to wirelessly extend my preexisting network with the Time Capsule so I can move it somewhere else in my house where it can still pick up the signal but extend it. And if possible, how so? Or does it ALWAYS have to be wired'connected to my router for the internet to work?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am wondering if it is possible to wirelessly extend my preexisting network with the Time Capsule so I can move it somewhere else in my house where it can still pick up the signal but extend it.
    Sorry but no.  Extending using only wireless would require that the Time Capsule connect to another Apple router that is producing the wireless network.
    Another way of saying the same thing is that you must have two Apple routers to be able to extend the signal wirelessly.

  • Airport wifi problems with uverse and gigabit switch resolved

    I think there is a bug in airport firmware 7.6 with how spanning tree works in addition to problems with the Uverse router. Having an Airport with a uverse 2wire 3801 and gigabit switch will not work. Putting the extreme in NAT mode with DMZ plus behind the uverse resolved the problem.
    Network configuration:
    Uverse 2wire 3801 router
        3801 provides prioritization for upstream traffic so skype and VoIP work better when doing a lot of stuff on Internet
    Airport extreme firmware 7.6
    two airport express 802.11n hardwired to extreme. Set up in bridge mode. All access points have same SSID "create a network" to enable roaming. Ignore anything to do with extending a network.  firmware 7.6
    two gigabit switches
        Netgear GS608 - 8 port gigabit switch
        Trendnet TEG-S80g - 8 port gigabit switch
        100BT 5 port switch - did not figure into problem
    Three Uverse set top boxes wired on Ethernet. They have to be wire directly to the 2wire box to work correctly. See: http://forums.att.com/t5/Features-and-How-To/At-amp-t-U-Verse-modem-setup-Airpor t-Extreme/td-p/2300785
    However, you need to be careful to place your own PCs and other internet devices on the network created by your gear (airport extreme in your case), but keep AT&T's set top boxes for the IPTV services IN FRONT of your own router - so they remain on AT&T's provided network.
    So it would work like this ...
    Network 1: 2wire RG (4 lan ports) ->  Any Set tops, and to the WAN port on your AirportExtreme
    Network 2: Airport Extreme LAN ports -> to any computers or internet devices (but not AT&T set top boxes).
    The RG prioritizes the traffic for your Uverse Voice and your Uverse TV ahead of internet data traffic, as it rationalizes data heading out of your home.  If you place your own equipment in that equation (like putting AT&T set top boxes behind your Airport Extreme) the performance and function of your AT&T set top boxes could really flake out on you.
    Symptom:
        Everything would be working fine, then intermittently all my wifi access points would stop working. ~6,000 ms latency, dropped packets. Ethernet worked fine. Here is an example of my macbook pinging the extreme when associated with the extreme over wifi with a strong signal.

    64 bytes from 192.168.1.64: icmp_seq=36 ttl=255 time=39.828 ms
    Root cause:
        It looks like the 2wire 2801 router has a problem with spanning tree when interoperating with gigabit switches and airports. There is interplay with the airport.
    I did not have this problem until the 7.6 airport firmware. I had been using the Netgear hub for about a year with the extreme in bridge mode. I added the Trendnet hub and upgraded airport firmware at the same time which made fault isolation difficult.
    Problem recreation:
    Set up airport expresses hard wired to extreme
    Connect gigabit switch anywhere to network
    Everything OK
    Dettach one computer from wifi then reattach, then all wifi stops working. It takes a few seconds for the problem to propagate.
    Ethernet still works fine
    Problem Resolution:
    Connect to 2wire with ethernet
    Set 2wire route to have subnet as 192.168.2.x
    Set extreme in NAT mode behind 2wire. It will complain about double NAT. Override the warning. Set the subnet to 192.168.1.x so you don't have to change any static IP addresses. Note that 2wire uses 192.168.1.254 as default route whereas airport uses 192.168.1.1.
    I set DHCP to start at .10 to leave the lower addresses for assigning static IP addresses to computers I want to expose outside the firewall.
    Go into firewall settings. Select airport extreme. Select the bottom setting which is "DMZ Plus". When you go into the airport extreme settings, you will now see that it has the uverse public IP address on its WAN port. NAT port mappings work fine on the extreme behind the 2wire router.

    Keeping this very short here is a summary of the actual problem and solution to allow your Apple Airport Extreme to run in Bridge mode on the same subnet as your uVerse settop boxes (if your Layer 2 switch is configurable). 
    Devices: Uverse, Cisco SG300, and Airport Extreme
    uVerse uses Multicast to broadcast video streams between the uVerse network to the settop box, and from settop box to settop box.
    X number of Multicast Groups are created based on X number of settop boxes you have.  You can see the multicast definitions by logging into the webinterface of the iNid. Each settop box is a member and can choose to display a broadcasted TV stream or not.
    Multicast membership is setup by the use of ICMP messages for IPv4 (MLD for IPv6).  Each of the settop boxes become members of each others multicast group by reporting up to the iNid (MultiCast Proxy).
    In an ideal world a layer 2 switch will track these memberships and only forward a broadcast packet to the ports on the switch to which the settop boxes are connected to.  The switch would do these via snooping on the ICMP packets.  Most switches by default do not do this by default and simply forward the broadcast packett out every one of it's switch ports.
    Here in lies the problem.  Problem is that the Apple AES doesn’t do ICMP snooping / filtering and floods the wireless network with these broadcast streams.
    In order to fix this you must turn on ICMP snooping and filtering on the switch (or buy a switch that does this).  I have a Cisco SG300 and list out the configuration below.
    Other notes:
    Ensure that all Media renderers (settop boxes) and servers are wired directly off the switch and not attached to any of the Airport Express ports.  This way no media transverses the Airport (only control point traffic goes through the WiFi - which is fine).  Obviously if the IGMP snooping switch sees any client requesting Multicast streaming traffic on the same port as the WAP, it will add that Multicast address to the forwarding table for that port, and then, yes it could get flooded.
    Remember, you need to allow some Multicast traffic through your WAP to allow UPnP discovery to work (assuming that you will be using Wireless control points.)
    Read the Multicast chapter in the SG 300 switch Admin Guide as it explains things very well.
    Setting up multicast on the SG300s using the WebUI:
    1. Multicast/Properties/
    Tick enable Bridge Multicast Filtering Status for VLAN 1, and
    set the Forwarding Method to IP Group Address for both IPv4 & IPv6.
    2. Multicast/ IGMP snooping/
    Tick enable IGMP snooping status then select and edit the entry and ensure that IGMP querier status is ticked.
    It's essential for IGMP snooping to work that there must be at least one active IGMP querier on the network - if more than one is enabled, they will carry out an "election" to decide which one should be active (normally the one with the lowest IP address.)
    3. Multicast Router Port
    Set whichever port that is connected to the uVerse iNid to Status which means that it the uVerse router connected to this port is the Multicast Router
    4. Multicast/ Unregistered Multicast
    set all ports to Filtering. (The default is Forwarding.)
    There are a lot of other variables within all the above - the defaults are OK, you should probably leave them alone!
    In the config file you would then expect to see the above appearing as something like this:
    ip igmp snooping
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 immediate-leave
    interface vlan 1
    bridge multicast mode ipv4-group
    bridge multicast ipv6 mode ip-group
    interface range gi1-10
    bridge multicast unregistered filtering
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 querier
    ip igmp snooping vlan 1 querier address <IP-Addr>

  • ESB: inbound file and outbound ftp adapter with multiple directories

    Basically I want to scan directories and write new files ftp directories. I could figure out how to do that for one directory. However I need to scan multiple directories and ftp upload files contained in those directories to corresponding ftp directories. Number of directories and their names are only known at run time. All directories are under one parent directory, both locally and the remote ftp site. We can assume all ftp directories exist.
    I could not figure out how to this. Is this possible at all? Directory names seem to be only specified at design time, for both inbound file adapters and outbound ftp adapters.
    Pranab

    Chris, I am not really sure this is the right place to ask this question. But hopefully you might have something in your armour to help me out.
    My requirement is to configure an inbound File/FTP adapter to read from a Directory which can be known only at runtime. A webservice call returns the file name and network path of the file to be read, but that happens only during the run time. I guess one way possible is, you configure a File/FTP Adapter with a logical name for directory and set the physical directory path using the endpoint property. But in that case, I should know the Physical directory @ deployment time.
    I would like to know whether it is possible to manipulate the Endpoint property of an ESB Service (SOAP Service/Routing Service/Adapter Service) during runtime.
    So is there any way to get the enpoint property configured during runtime??? Otherwise dO you recommend some other solution for this use case???
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • FTP Issues with Leopard.

    Ok. This is bugging the crap out of me, so hopefully someone will have some ideas!
    Whenever I open a ftp connection to my website (hosted with network solutions) and try to transfer a file, the connection times out. I can do everything else on the FTP server (delete, rename, etc.), but I cannot transfer. I have tried OneButton FTP, Fetch, the terminal FTP command, everything. Leopard's firewall is open, my router firewall is open, my cable modem is in bridge mode, etc, etc. I have a PC laptop on the same network that has absolutely no problem connecting and transferring to my website using FTP. Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

    I'm glad I found this post... I just got off the phone with my ISP this evening because I thought it was an upload problem with them, but it seems that I only experience problems uploading with my MBP. This happens with Dreamweaver, through Firefox or Safari while attempting to upload video to YouTube or to Blogspot, and using the Flickr Uploadr or Flickr through the browser. I was able to upload the same file through DOS on my XP machine without a problem. I am operating on a wireless network with a Netgear router, but this happens on other wired and wireless networks with the same MBP. I haven't always had this problem with this machine - just the past month or so. Just thought I'd give my experience and a bump.
    Thanks.

  • Extend wireless network from Uverse/Motorola 1ZVDC via Airport express

    After spending 2+ hours trying to extend son's network via A Express, can this be done straight from his uVerse Motorola 1ZVDC modem?  I can get the express to show up, but will not work/extend network, and doesn't show up in wireless menu; only in airport utility :-(
    Now I saw an old post which says express cannot expand network from non-apple modem.  Is this correct? I don't think he wants to pay for Extreme + express.  I am certain that, at my other residence, I am using an express directly paired to my uVerse.  Here, main residence, I have 3 paired with Extreme. 
    He had bought a cheap extender which has to be plugged into USB on computer (wouldn't this be the modem?).  I was positive the express would do the job.
    His setup: OS X.6.8
    Airport: 5.6.1
    uVerse Motorola: 1ZVDC
    Apple Express:one below
    What if I plug the express directly into the modem?  Of course, probably won't extend network, which is my objective.
    If I give him my old extreme, what are advantages to new one?
    TY for your help.
    Ruth

    You cannot use extend to other brands.. it is apple proprietary method of repeater.
    What if I plug the express directly into the modem?  Of course, probably won't extend network, which is my objective.
    You can always plug in by ethernet and setup the express to create a wireless network with the same name and same credentials as the existing wireless.. this is called roaming network and is far superior to extend.
    If ethernet does not allow you to place the unit in the right place.. you can try EOP adapters. (homeplug in the US).
    If I give him my old extreme, what are advantages to new one?
    You can extend wireless by plugging the extreme into the main modem.. setup wireless to create a wireless network.. the Express can extend an apple wireless network.
    However please do understand the restrictions.. extend will halve the speed at best.. at worst it will be too slow to be usable. And the range can still be poor.. apple do not make wireless powerhouses.. they are average at best.
    He had bought a cheap extender which has to be plugged into USB on computer (wouldn't this be the modem?).  I was positive the express would do the job.
    If it is a universal extender it should work but needs to be located where the signal is still good.. USB is probably just for power.
    If the computer cannot pick up wireless signal then the extender cannot work either.

    This has been automated in the v6 utility. I am used to doing it manually in v5 utility which is also fairly easy.
    Apple doco is also good to read.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145

    Note.
    You cannot extend the guest network unless everything is up to date 7.6.3 firmware. And that is only with the TC as the main router in the network.
    All apple routers can be configured as the main wireless or as the extend wireless.. so don't worry if a post uses express or extreme or TC.. they are for wireless, the same thing.

  • I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, can't join existing wireless network with AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. working fine with TM

    I have a mid-2010 iMac and just purchased a 2TB TC, I just found out that it can't join existing wireless network with new AC standard so attached to iMac via ethernet with TC's wifi turned off.  How do i access TC now? not showing up in disk utility or on desktop. It is working fine with TM.  My cheeper seagate drives etc kept crashing, so i didnt trust cheeper back up options anymore.  Connected those drives to TM via firewire and could see the drives and access them.
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.  I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast. Getting over 50mbs downloads and over 30mbs uploads.  Plus everything in my home it connected to my fios router, airport express for music streaming, two apple tvs, vuezone camer system.  I really didn't want to monkey around too much with my system.  But are there other options to connect the new TC.  Can't find info anywhere for this and called apple who gave me the info above.  after hanging up, i see that i cant access my TC and I am wondering if i would have to reset it to turn wifi on again to make changes to the drive, turn off blinking light  or repair it in disk utility if it should become corrupted.
    For other with similar issues i did solve some other problems: when i connected it to my ethernet port on my iMac wifi stopped working.  Found that I had to turn off the ethernet in the system>network screen, but then TM didn't see the TC so i restarted after changes and then it saw it.
    Now a rant.  I can't believe in this wireless age that Apple would make a product that cant join a wireless net work.  The apple rep said i could return it and look for the previous TC that would join an existing wireless network.  Are we going backwards?
    Thanks!
    lennydas

    Ok... it is getting a bit clearer but there are still some questions.
    I connect to the internet via airport only and it is pretty fast.
    I was assuming airport in this statement in your first post meant the TC or the Express.. but I now realise we are still in the mass confusion stage where apple calls everything wireless an airport. So what you mean is the airport internal card of the computer??
    Also, I didn't want to bridge TC with my new fios router that I paid 100 dollars for, to get N speed and also paying 10 dollars more a month for fast speed.  I heard that bridging slows down everything and then there can be port issues with mail etc.
    I think this is mistaken.
    Putting the TC in bridge mode plugged into your FIOS will not slow the network.. nor will it cause mail or port issues.. in bridge the TC is just a fancy WAP and switch plus the network hard drive.
    If the computer is close it will be faster than the FIOS.
    You can run both wireless networks with different names.. so it is clear which is which. But you can also setup roaming so the computers themselves pick which is the best wireless.
    I tried extending the wireless net work and tried joining wireless network, but the TC kept crashing and I had to keep resetting the TC.  the Apple support person said these, extend wireless network and joint wireless network, are no longer a connection option with the new TC because of the new AC protocol.
    Thanks again!
    You cannot extend to a non-apple wireless router.
    You cannot use join a wireless network because when you do the ethernet ports will be cut off.
    But that has not changed.. I don't think Apple support is correct.. there has been no change with the AC model.. it is simply a fact that apple routers do not work in join wireless mode other than as a dumb client. The same applies to AC as to the earlier version.. but I have asked another person to check this.
    Join in the express is the only apple router that still allows an ethernet connection.
    For now you best use of the TC is bridged to the FIOS. Wireless you can sort out between several options.

  • Setting up network with newer and older AirPort Extremes

    Okay, I thought this was going to be so simple. I have a newer (like a year old - square) Airport Extreme that I have three computers wirelessly hooked up to in the house. Great... so now, I want to hook up the old iMac in my son's room that doesn't have a wireless card to the network. It is too far away to use the ethernet cable into the back of my newer Airport Extreme station so I figured I'd dust off the old saucer type base station, plug the ethernet cable into that in my son's room and then just easily get the old base station to network with the newer one wirelessly.
    Not so easy. The newer one has no reference how to make a network with other base stations whatsoever and the old book describes how to with the Airport Admin Utility which is not available to the newer version, just Airport Utility and it does not have the WDA options listed. I tried to extend the network and then Doh! The whole network disappeared.
    Is this a compatibility issue with the older and newer base stations? Would it just be easier to put in a wireless card to my very old iMac, if that's even possible? Has anyone successfully networked an old and new base station together? If so how?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    When you have an older "g" device (the flying saucer) and a newer "n" device (the square one) in order for them to communicate using wireless only, you must configure both of them in what is known as WDS configuration.
    This is a quite tricky setup for most users. The best set of instructions that I've seen for this comes from expert user Tesserax in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2355832&tstart=0
    If you elect to try this type of setup, you will probably need to hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the Wireless Mode selection box to get the WDS option to appear. (My guess here is that Apple "hides" it because it slows down the network substantially). But, it's the only way to do what you want to accomplish with and old and new device.
    Other options would include the wireless card you mentioned for the iMac. Even better might be a pair of ethernet powerline adapters. One adapter goes near the AirPort Extreme and the other near the iMac. The AC wiring in your home transmits the ethernet signal of the powerline. Works great, almost no configuration required and better than wireless in many cases.

  • Questions about setting up my network with my Mac Pro?

    I'm trying to set up my network with my Mac Pro. I have two other roommates that need internet and a printer that we all need to access. The modem is with my Mac Pro in room 1, the printer is with another PC in room 2, and another PC with wifi is in room 3. What is the best way to connect all these.
    My idea was to install an Airport card in my Mac Pro, then add an Airport Express station w/airtunes to room 2, to connect the PC and printer. That way, room 3 can access with wifi, and room 2 can physically plug into the Airport Express station. Problem with that is that the Airport Express Card must be professionally installed in my Mac Pro and that $80+ charge on top of the Airport Express and Aiport Card itself, turns this into a $200+ endeavor.
    I also have a wireless Linksys router and Linksys WiFi USB receiver. Anybody have any other ideas?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Your plan wouldn't work anyway. The Mac Pro can not create a WDS compatible wireless network. Therefore the AirPort Express (AX) can not use WDS to wirelessly join the network. Therefore the AX's Ethernet port will not be activated.
    The best solution is to buy an inexpensive wireless router [or the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS)]. Connect the Mac Pro via Ethernet to the router. Add a wireless adapter to the PC in room 2. Therefore the PCs will connect wirelessly while the Mac Pro connects via Ethernet.

  • Setting up wireless network with 2x airport extreme ac

    I've got a business customer with 2 new Airport Extreme 802.11 AC behind a comcast modem.
    When the first extreme is set up, all is well.
    When the 2nd Extreme is introduced, Airport Utility asks to automatically wirelessly extend the network, which I allow it to do.
    But sometime during that setup, the 2nd extreme becomes unresponsive, and the connection to the internet becomes broken.
    The only thing that restores it is to reboot the first Extreme. No matter how many times Iv'e done this, it results in the same problem. I've replaced Extreme #2 with a new one, and I get the same problem.
    There are 20 some odd devices on the network; with one Extreme, it works great, and the Extreme AC's replaced 2 older version of Extreme's that were doing this just perfectly.
    What is causing this problem, other than me doing something stupid, and how do I extend the network? I'd rather extend it with the wire it's connected to than wirelessly.

    Power off AirPort Extreme 2 for now and test the Ethernet cable that is connected from one of the LAN <-> ports on Extreme 1 by temporarily connecting the cable to the Ethernet port on a laptop or desktop. Turn off the wireless off on the computer and see if you can get a good Internet connection that way.
    If you can, then you know that the Ethernet port on the AirPort and the cable are both working correctly.
    If you can't, then you need to do some troubleshooting to identify the real problem before you can attempt to configure AirPort Extreme 2.
    Post back when you have verified that you have a working connection between AirPort Extreme 1 and the device that you are using to test.
