Giving my phone a network name

My phone shows up on our wlan as unknown-3, all our other wlan connections show up with their names. How do I give my N97 a name that will display on the wlan?

If you go to System Preferences -> Sharing, what do you have listed as the "Computer Name:". I believe that should be the network name of the computer. HTH.

  • Giving Mac Mini a network name

    I have noticed that typically a machine name appears which is the name of the person registering the machine. This same name also appears in a network list. I would like to know how to change this name and also, what are the consequences of this name change?

    Hi, no idea why this just showed up as posted 6 days ago, didn't show a couple of hours ago!???
    Are you still having the Problem?
    What is the other name it shows up as?

  • Cannot copy file: The specified network name is no longer available

    After several tries stretching over weeks or months, I finally solved this problem. Internet sharing and transferring small files worked fine over the wireless network, but files over about 50 - 100 MB would fail giving the message "Cannot copy : The specified network name is no longer available. After suggesting numerous changes to the router setup, telling me that my Ethernet NIC in my desktop must be bad, and that I my file sharing or memory configuration was wrong, Linksys support finally suggested upgrading the router's firmware. Problem solved. I can now transfer 1 GB files with no problem over the wireless network. This is on a WRT54GS wireless router.
    Upgrading the firmware isn't a 5-minute operation. Allow 1-2 hours. Before you do anything, make a copy of all router setup info. The firmware upgrade resets the router to defaults, so you lose your wireless network setup and any other setup info that you changed. Also, customer support sent me a more involved procedure than what was in the router Help info. It included things like temporarily assigning a static IP address to the computer wired to the router for the update. You might want to get that procedure from them. Also, some of the info about reconfiguring the wireless network after the upgrade was incorrect for my network; another reason to make sure you have all the details of your router setup saved before you upgrade.

    Hi! I'm Engr. Michael, a network engineer from the Philippines. Firmware upgrade does not take 1-2 hours believe me. Try this instead ok? The
    version of your router is on CPN alert which means it needs upgrading. So, connect your pc
    first directly to the modem and go to this website -- www.linksys.com/connect. select
    easylink firmware tool and save it to your desktop. Now connect your the modem back to the
    router (internet port) and pc to port number 1. Run the file you have downloaded and it will
    automatically upgrade the firmware of your router.Then follow instructions and That's it. You're good to go..
    Tell me if
    it works ok? Thanks for your time.

  • Weird Network Name (3)

    My computer used to be called Jonathan, but for some reason it kept changing to Jonathan (2), I assumed it was because my phone was called Jonathan's iPhone and the network was cutting off everything after the ', but when I gave it a completely unique name I still have this problem.
    I have changed it several times, and today it changed to Jonathan (3), for no reason that I can tell. I changed it back to Jonathan in system preferences, and on my router the name of my computer is Jonathan-3.
    I am really confused about this, although it is more of an annoyance that a major problem, if anyone knows how to fix it, that would be amazing.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    You are correct, it's just the network name. It's apparently still registered on the network when you log in again, thus the (2) , (3) etc.
    If this is wireless, you might try experimenting with this setting:
    System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > Airport tab > check disconnect when logging out.
    Regards,
    Captfred
    Edit: You also might want to reboot the router to clean out any old registrations.

  • How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme? My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured" and my AirPort tool on my PC will not permit me to add my new Airport Extreme network (no network names to choose from)

    How to connect old aiport express to my new Airport Extreme?
    I have a PC running with Win7 and just replaced my Jensen With a brand New Airport Extreme.
    I have set up the Airport Extreme to the internet, Iphones and Ipads and it work as it should.
    I have downloaded latest Version of Airport tool on my PC. In addition i have downloaded the airport tool for Ipad.
    I have reset one of my airport Express and it now shows up both on the Ipad and on the PC airport tool.
    My Ipad says "base station e5713b cannot be configured."
    I have wired the airport Express to my Ethernet to be able to "see it" on my Airport tool.
    My AirPort tool on the PC will not permit me to add the airport Express to my new Airport Extreme network (no network names on the drop-down list to choose from). I wished for an easy set-up, but nothing seems to be plug and play as the Commercial says.. can you please help me?
    Sigve

    Hi
    Thanks for Swift reply.
    Yep - I in fact have two A1088 and one A1264
    I actually bought the new router because the Jensen
    router always lost connection to the Airport Express after some hours or days. I
    always needed to restart my Jensen to play music and that was driving my wife
    mad. The hope was that the Extreme should fix this. Both A1088 have been set up
    to only stream music to two of my stereo amplifiers from my PC’s Itunes library.
    Are the A1088 now useless?
    The A1264 has been set up to feed internet into a Denon Reciever that needed Ethernet cable.
    Please advise
    Regards
    Sigve

  • Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid.

    I'm stuck here trying to figure this error out.  
    2003 domain, 2012 hyper v core 3 nodes.  (I have two of these hyper V groups, hvclust2012 is the problem group, hvclust2008 is okay)
    In Failover Cluster Manager I see these errors, "Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:  The handle is invalid."
    I restarted the host node that was listed in having the error then another node starts showing the errors.
    I tried to follow this site:  http://blog.subvertallmedia.com/2012/12/06/repairing-a-failover-cluster-in-windows-server-2012-live-migration-fails-dns-cluster-name-errors/
    Then this error shows up when doing the repair:  there was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'
    I looked at our domain controller and noticed I don't have access to local users and groups.  I can access our other hvclust2008 (both clusters are same version 2012).

    I came upon this thread:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/85fc2ad5-b0c0-41f0-900e-df1db8625445/windows-2012-cluster-resource-name-fails-dns-registration-evt-1196?forum=winserverClustering
    Now, I'm stuck on adding a managed service account (mas).  I'm not sure if I'm way off track to fix this.  Any advice?  Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Elton,
    I restarted 3 hosts after applying the hotfix.  Then I did the steps below and got stuck on step 5.  That is when I get the error (image above).  There
    was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'.  For more data, see 'Information Details'.
    To reset the password on the affected name resource, perform the following steps:
    From Failover Cluster Manager, locate the name resource.
    Right-click on the resource, and click Properties.
    On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, do not restart, and then click OK.
    Right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Simulate Failure.
    When the name resource shows "Failed," right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Repair.
    After the name resource is online, right-click on the resource, and then click Properties.
    On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, attempt restart on current node, and then click OK.

  • Help with new Airport Extreme (and network name) not recognizing Time Capsule and other Airports in the home

    I had a Time Capsule running in an AV Cabinet and it made too much noise as it backed up and ruined soft/quiet music passages (and created far too much warmth as well).  So, I visited the local Apple store and the guy I met worked through a few solutions with me.  I decided on an Airport Extreme for the audio cabinet, and would move the Time Capsule to another room where it would not create noise interference.
    So, I have the Airport up and running perfectly well.  I changed my wireless network name and password.
    I cannot get the Airport Express and Time Capsule to show up on my network.  They both just blink that brown/orange color on the front.  When I go to the Airport Utility, it does not pick up the Time Capsule or Airport Express.  I have tried unplugging and plugging back in and scanning for devices, but dont know what else to do.  Are they still looking for my old network?  Is there a way to reset them??
    Thanks for any help.

    I've tried the option key on both--the AEBS offers 14 options, including Automatic, while the TC offers 8 options, and no Automatic. The AEBS lists (among others) 802.11 a/n-b/g compatible, 802.11 a-b/g compatible, or 802.11 n (5 GHz)-b/g compatible. The TC offers 802.11.n (b/g compatible), 802.11n only (2.4 GHz), and 802.11n only (5 GHz), among others...
    I had already followed the instructions in the link you supplied, except that the wireless options don't quite match...
    I am currently trying 802.11n (5GHz)-b/g compatible on the AEBS and 802.11 (5GHz) on the TC, which gives me a rate of 270 on my n devices and 54 on my g devices, according to the Airport Utility.
    This might be the best I can do, without buying a new TC. Thanks for any advice you can give...

  • My i phone will not open my yahoo mail, but sits and spins. I have reset the phone and network and still no help. Any other ideas?

    My i-phone stopped receiving e-mail on a regular basis.  Rather, it will sit and spin trying to load and then stop.   Usually, sometime in the night, it will all of a sudden load all of my mail, but then will not load new mail again.  I have updated and reset the phone and network, and the problem remains the same.  Does anyone know a fix for this issue?

    Try deleting the account, restarting your phone and then reinputting the account.

  • SQL Service Broker 2012: the connection was closed by the remote end, or an error occurred while receiving data: '64(The specified network name is no longer available.)'

    Anyone can help with the below issue please? Much appreciated.
    We have about 2k+ messages in sys.transmission_queue
    Telnet to the ports 4022 is working fine.
    Network connectivity has been ruled out.
    The firewalls are OFF.
    We also explicitly provided the permissions to the service account on Server A and Server B to the Service broker end points.
    GRANT
    CONNECT ON
    ENDPOINT <broker> <domain\serviceaccount>
    Currently for troubleshooting purposes, the DR node is also out of the Availability Group, which means that we right now have only one replica the server is now a traditional cluster.
    Important thing to note is when a SQL Server service is restarted, all the messages in the sys.transmission queue is cleared immediately. After about 30-40 minutes, the errors are continued to be seen with the below
    The
    connection was
    closed by the
    remote end,
    or an
    error occurred while
    receiving data:
    '64(The specified network name is no longer available.)'

    We were able to narrow down the issue to an irrelevant IP coming into play during the data transfer. We tried ssbdiagnose runtime and found this error:

    The IP that corresponds to routing address is no where configured within the SSB. We are yet unsure why this IP is being referred despite not being configured anywhere. We identified that this IP belongs to one of nodes other SQL Server cluster, which has
    no direct relation to the source server. We failed over that irrelevant SQL Server cluster and made another node active and to our surprise, the data from sys.transmission_queue started flowing. Even today we are able to reproduce the issue, if we bring
    back this node [XX.XXX.XXX.199] as active. Since, its a high business activity period, we are not investigating further until we get an approved downtime to find the root cause of it.
    When we get a approved downtime, we will bring the node [XX.XXX.XXX.199] as active and we will be running Network Monitor, Process Monitor and the SSB Diagnose all in parallel to capture the process/program that is accessing the irrelevant IP.
    Once, we are able to nail down the root cause, I will share more information.

    my iphone will no longer connect to my home wifi. it recognises it, but the searching cirlce is constant next to network name. there are three laptops and another iphone on the same wifi that have no connectivity issues. i have reset the network settings but that did not help. the issue started last week when the second iphone was introduced to the house, could this be the cause?

    No.

  • Ipod touch 1st generation can't connect to my linksys wireless router wr110. THe signal is strong and there is a check mark beside my network name, but when I try to open safari it says "unable to find server".

    My friends MacBook connected easily to my wireless, but why not the ipod touch? When prompted for "Password" I enter the security key info and nothing, nadda....zip.  The MacBook asks for the "Security Key" info not "Password", like the touch. What's the difference?

    Click on the blue arrow to the right of the network name, if IP address starts with "169." ,restart your router. It should connect properly after your router reboots in a minute or two.

  • 64 The specified network name is no longer available

    Hi Experts,
    We have been using TMG 2010 from last 5 years as a reverse web proxy for OWA , outlook anywhere , active sync etc. Of late users from one particular site have been complaining of regular disconnections on outlook and OWA.
    We don't have complaint from any other site except to this , whereas users in this site can browse other secure web sites without any challenge.
    I have diagnosed the packets coming from their public IP and i could see that lot of connections happen successfully whereas few it shows either denied connection or failed connection attempt.
    if i concentrate on failed connection attempt , i get the below information. Can some one provide any hint on the possible resolution for this issue.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi,
    >>64 The specified network name is no longer available
    This error is very general. You need to collect a network trace and analyze it. The most common one is when the backend server is performing a dirty TCP connection reset.
    You could have a look at the blog below.
    Error 64 “ The specified network name is no longer available” while accessing a

  • BMR-SS backup fails with error "the specified network name is no longer available"

    We are running DPM 2012 SP1 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 system, backing up a Windows Server 2012 system that is a DC.  The agent version is 4.1.3417.0.  Both the DPM server and the DC are physical systems - brand new HP Proliant 360's.
    When creating the replicas for the 2012 server the first time, the backups work fine, and then for a day or so after that.  After a couple of days, the BMR-SS backups fail with the error "the specified network name is no longer available".  
    I can watch the backup happening in the Windows Server Backup console on the protected server - the BMR backup goes up to 99% and then fails.  BMR backups on all the other servers are working - we have a mix of Win2008R2 and Win2012. 
    Here is what I have tried:
    I can connect to the UNC path on the backup server without a problem during and after the backup is happening. 
    Tried reinstalling the DPM agent.
    Tried backing up directly from the protected server to another server's network share, which worked.
    I can copy multiple gigabyte files directly from the protected server to the DPM file share without a problem (the same one that DPM uses for the replica)
    Tried turning off the SCEP real-time protection during the backup.
    Any help would be appreciated - thanks.

    llo Boudewijn
    I followed Boudewijn's suggestion. 
    The Windows 2012R2 servers had no recovery partition in disk C. I created one (400MB) following http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2930294/en-us and
     DPM system restore worked. But just once. 
    So this is not the solution to the problem......
    Is no one else having issues with DPM bare metal protection of Windows 2012R2 servers? 

  • "the specified network name is no longer available"

    I have a weird situation. I am using both iMac and Dell laptop. I use AEBS a1s a bridge - AT & T installed a wireless router and one hard line, and I plug my AEBS on the hard line. Dell is connected to AT&T router (and then to AEBS through hard ethernet line) with 801g. I connect my iMac to AEBS with 801n. I also attach a USB printer and 500G external HDD to AEBS. I formatted HDD with FAT32.
    In terms of iMac, everything is working fine; I can print, I can read (or play) the files in Airdisk, and I can write (or copy) the files on Airdisk. No problem.
    Dell laptop is a problem. Good things: I can print to the USB printer plugged in AEBS. I can read/play files stored in Airdisk. BAD THINGS: Every time I try to copy a file(s) to the HDD plugged in Airdisk, this error message appears: "the specified network name is no longer available"
    If I cannot see the Airdisk at all, or cannot print any documents to AEBS-connected printer, then I may believe the network problem. Well, I can print a paper, I can read/play files in the HDD, but I cannot copy a file to the HDD! The size is less than 400MB, so the size should not be a matter.
    I called Apple Tech Support, and they have kept me waiting for 32 minutes (and counting - now is 5:50pm PST - 10 minutes to go!). I have searched Apple discussion, Google, whatever, in vain.
    Please share any tips with me. My iMac is run by Leopard, and I have Win XP SP3 for my Dell; Airport Utility is 5.3.2.

    I solved the problem in this way: i had the hard disk and the printer connected to a usb hub. I tried to directly connect the hard disk to my airport and everything was ok! Now I can copy files without any problem...
    Hope to help someone else!
