Graphite ABS cannot connect with DHCP

I'm trying (and failing) to set up an (ancient) Graphite Airport Base Station (with latest firmware) in my boss' office.
We get our net feed through a DSL modem using DHCP, and this wired configuration works fine:
DSL modem --- (cat5 cable) ---> Mac
With this setup the mac gets an IP around 208.xxx
What I want to get working is
DSL modem --- (cat5 cable) ---> Airport Base Station
I use the Airport Setup Assistant (For Graphite), set it for DHCP, it resets the Base Station and seemingly finishes without error. I get a nice strong signal from the base station, but the base station does not connect to the outside world. Web pages will not load, ping does not work through console.
Running the Airport Admin Util, I have
Connect using: Ethernet
Configure: Using DHCP
IP address: 192.42.249.12
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Router Address (blank, ***?)
DNS: 10.0.1.1 (err...?)
The IP# looks odd, not having a router address looks odd, DNS looks odd.
I see the ABS Graphite is on the list of products that require a crossover cable if connected to a few other Apple products, but it is ambiguous if it needs one when connected to a DSL modem. I take this to mean I might need to buy a crossover cable instead of the patch cables I have been trying to use?
FWIW, I took the Airport Base Station home and set it up fine using a static IP number, but I can't seem to get set up with DHCP.
Thanks in advance
Mac OS X (10.4.7)

So it isn't odd that I would need a crossover cable to use it with DHCP, but a non-crossover cable worked fine when I set it up with a static IP?
If I'm reading your post above, you got it to work at home with a static IP address but can't get it to work in the boss's office with DHCP. It is entirely possible that the device that you connected the graphite AirPort base station (ABS) to at home has an auto-sensing Ethernet port and therefore you didn't need the crossover cable.
Using static vs DHCP IP addresses has absolutely nothing to do with the physical Ethernet connection requirements.
Also... be aware that the graphite AirPort base station (ABS) can not communicate with some cable or DSL modems. Back when the graphite ABS was the only game in town, we frequently had to recommend connecting a different router to the modem and then connecting the graphite ABS to the router.

My 4th gen. shuffle keeps on sending me an error message that it cannot connect with iTunes because it's not formatted properly.

Hi,
About two days ago my shuffle started to send me an error message that it cannot connect with iTunes because it's not formated properly.
So I've already updated the softwer, I tried to use it with every single USB port on my computer and searched for solutions on the net but couldn't find any useful information...
I literally see the following message: The iPod "194" cannot be used with iTunes because it is not formatted properly.
Any ideas?....
Thank you!

If you cannot access the iPad because of the passcode, you have no choice but to restore it using the same steps that you would use if you forgot the passcode.

Proxy client (over USB connection) with DHCP assigned IP address doesn't work with FRDM-K64F

Hello,
after reading about the issues on this forum with a static IP address on the Freescale FRDM-K64F board I went for an DHCP address but I can't get the proxy client to work over a USB connection with DHCP either.
My console tells me the following:
RTC Time: Wed 2014-01-01 00:07:27
Network initialized
IP Address:      10.143.xxx.yyy (xxx and yyy is real numbers, just changing them for the forum to letters)

Gateway:         10.143.xxx.yyy
MAC-address:     00:0c:00:06:70:00
And when I try o to connect with the following command :
java -jar proxy.jar -socket 10.143.xxx.yyy
I get the following output and no CLI interface:
Trying to open socket connection with device: 10.143.xxx.yyy:2201
Connected to the socket: Socket[addr=/10.143.xxx.yyy,port=2201,localport=49605]

Any ideas or am I missing something completely?

Hi, Andy. Please excuse my ignorance, I am very new at this ME embedded stuff. I had my challenges, but was finally able to get my board up with a static address. I went through a lot of headaches, but finally got the board flashed with the latest bin. I then updated the jwc_properties.ini file on the SD card to include:
# Whether static configuration or DHCP server is used do get IP address. Possible values: dhcp,static
ip.method = static
# IP address,used with static IP configuration only
ip.addr = 192.168.0.30
# Network mask,used with static IP configuration only
ip.netmask = 255.255.255.0
# Network gateway,used with static IP configuration only
ip.gateway = 192.168.0.1
# DNS server,used with static IP configuration only
ip.dns = 208.67.222.222
# MAC address
mac.addr = 01:02:03:04:05:06
I was then put the card into the board, disconnected both USB cables, and then powered it up. From that point I was able to ping the board. I can now use Device Manager in NetBeans to connect to the device.
I am struggling quite a bit with many issues. It seems that when I try to stop the app from NetBeans, the "please wait" dialog hangs forever. I have to use Windows Task Manager to kill the "JavaW" process tree and reconnect the board.
I have also had trouble understanding the GPIO pin assignments. Another gotcha was trying to use the AutoStart feature. Since the sample app never cleanly exited, I thought that I bricked the board. The secret is to power it down, remove the SD card, and then delete all files EXCEPT the jwc_properties.ini file, put the SD card back in, then power up. It seems that the board forgets that the MIDlet was installed.
Hope this helps others out there.
Please everybody, post your experiences here. There seem to be very few of us, and finding pearls in the dust is rare right now.
Regards,
Pete

PSE 12 - Cannot connect with Adobe

I cannot connect with Adobe through PSE12. The first time the message told me Help did not install and to uninstall and reinstall, which I did today. I still cannot connect; yet, I was able to register the serial numbers for both elements and premiere.
In trying resolve the problem, I got another message that indicates there is no internet connection. I have analyzed the install log and nothing there indicates an error in installation.
I still have PSE 10 on my computer and can connect direct when in 10.

No. I tried the "activation-network-i ssues" before 2 times.
0. Patch installed
1. I have/had internet connection
2. I can call https pages
3. drivers/etc/Hosts was/are clean.
4. Current User > Trusted Root Certificate Authorities > Certificates is installed/enabled and the correct fields are checked

Dear Anubha,
I hope these windows illustrate what I am facing.
The above window shows the prompt that the software requires activation.
The version is 8.1.0.
This next window is the point where I select activation by phone.
This final window shows that the "response code" is not returned. I get an
"Activation Number" instead.

I cannot create a new business catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014. The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. How can I fix this problem?

I cannot create a new Business Catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014 (Mac). The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. In addition, I am also unable to load remotely a previously created Business Catalyst site as it says there is something wrong with my username or password. However when I put my password in and press test connection, it says it has connected successfully. What is going wrong and how can I fix this problem?
Thanks

Hi Ozy08,
Can you try the solutions mentioned in Re: Can't Login to Business Catalyst within Dreamweaver CS6?
If you still have problems, and you have a purchased version of DW CC, send me your Adobe ID, location, and contact details over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option.

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:

You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

CANNON EOS 7D get message as "cannot connect with battery" What can i do to fix this problem?

when i turn on the camera and its trying to read the battery the message i get is " cannot connect with battery" i thought it was a defective battery and went out and bought a new one and still kept getting the same message. what can i do ? Does anybody been through this situation from what i hear this is common on the CANNON EOS 7D models only why is that?

Yes! It is a factory defect and Canon should recall 7D and 60D for this problem in stead to charge $230 for their own quality issue. I have 7D and not using it that often, it shows the same error message. Cleaning can not fix it at all! It was the soldering bad point at the battery and the little circuit board next to it, based on an engineer who repaired it by himself. Canon pro's: If you guys are cate about the Name of Canon then take these cameras back and fix them for free! Otherwise, the customers will switch to Nikon soon.

"The BlackBerry Desktop Software cannot connect with this device." after repair

I download the Desktop Software for BlackBerry onto my Mac Book Pro for the first time.
After installing I connected my PlayBook. I get the message "The BlackBerry® Desktop Software cannot connect with this device."
The program suggested I repair the device software, so I did. After that I set it up and ran the updates.
When I plug it back in I get the exact same message.
What should I do next?

I also cannot connect to my two playbooks using desktop manager on mac.
One of the two playbooks is now shipped back to rim for repair (see here http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/5MP-Playbook-Camera-Blackscreen-Errors-Ha... The issue of desktop manager not being able to connect to the playbook started with this playbook when the repair I was prompted to to stopped 1/4 way into it. Multiple retries did not make any difference.
Since then, I have tried connecting my other (functioning) playbook to the same mac but when I plug in usb cable I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg and prompted to "repair". I am definitely NOT going to "repair" this one. So I uninstalled the desktop manager and reinstalled it to see if it makes a difference. Unfortunately it did not and I get the same "cannot connect" errmsg.
If anyone has any suggestion how this issue can be resolved that would be great. I think something is stuck on the mac and is not getting wiped out when desktop manager is uninstalled. Thanks.

HT1386 While trying to update an app I keep getting a "cannot connect with iTunes store"message

For some reason my iPad say I cannot connect with iTunes store while trying to update an app. I've tried all I know. Any suggestions?

I am getting the same message. This is what I did to update my apps.
Go to the App Store and search for one of the apps that needs an update. When the app appears in the search - there should be an Install button next to the app icon. Tap on it and see if the download will start. It worked for me.
After over two years of owning iPads and never having had this happen before - this is happened to me twice now in the last two weeks. It's weird, but it happens.
