Help with Samba/WINS networking, please!!

EDIT: sigh I didn't see there was a 802.11n specific forum...
I have been banging my head on this for hours now and have searched exhaustively with no working answer. I bought an Airport Express to replace an aging 802.11g router. (I have heard great things about the AXP.) But...
I have multiple Macs and Windows boxes on the same network. I'm running a webserver, Subversion server, etc. Across the board, the network shares/servers/etc are referenced by the computer's name. (ie. server, ultra, etc.) So, when I do "ping server" the server at 192.168.1.2 responds, as an example.
BUT, now that I have an Airport Express, NONE of the computer names are resolving. Interestingly, if I do a "net lookup server" it finds the associated IP address. But if I just ping it: no-go. I am fully aware that I could just connect via IP addresses to all the various boxes, but I really don't want to have to print out a list of computers and their associated IP addresses.
I really hope someone can help me. I'm massively frustrated and am really not feeling the "It just works" mantra right now. Thanks in advance.

Help with a home network please!

^^This is what I'm trying to achieve.
If the link doesn't work, here is what I need.
I have a Time Capsule 1TB connected to my modem which is broadcasting WiFi to my MacBook Pro. This works just fine. My step sister needs internet on the PC we have, so I want to plug the Airport Extreme into it and use it to receive the WiFi from the Time Capsule (the PC is no where near the Time Capsule so it cannot be hardwired). However I am running into some difficulties because the Time Capsule and the Extreme seem to both think they are the base station and I want only the Time Capsule to be the base station.
Suggestions?

I assume that your AirPort Extreme is an 802.11n model. If that is the case, you can configure both base stations to extend the Time Capsule's (TC) wireless network.
Here are the basic steps:
o If practical, place the base stations in near proximity to each other during the setup phase. Once done, move them to their desired locations.
o Open AirPort Utility and select the base station that will connect to the Internet.
o Choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open the configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Click AirPort in the toolbar, and then click Wireless.
o Choose “Create a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then select the “Allow this network to be extended” checkbox.
o Next, select the base station that will extend this network, and choose Manual Setup from the Base Station menu, or double-click the base station to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the base station password if necessary.
o Choose “Extend a wireless network” from the Wireless Mode pop-up menu, and then choose the network you want to extend from the Network Name pop-up menu.
o Enter the base station network and base station password is necessary.
o Click Update to update the base station with new network settings.

I need help with my secured network please

i have forgotten my password for my secured network so what should i do about this?

That depends on which password you forgot.
If you forgot the router login password, then the only way to recover control of your router is to use the reset button, and reset it to factory defaults. This will reset the password to "admin".
If you have only forgotten your encryption password, you can look that up in the router. Point your browser to 192.168.1.1 then enter your user name (if any) and password. This will take you to your router setup pages. Click on the tab marked "Wireless" (on some routers, you will have to go to the "Security" tab instead). Then start looking through the settings til you find your encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2). Usually, just below this is where you will find your encryption key or encryption password.

Homehub 3 problems with wifi and network - please ...

I am hoping someone can help me, as I am struggling to work out why I am getting so many problems with my network at home.
I have BT Infinity, and a Homehub 3A. I have had BT broadband for years. Infinity was added in Feb 2013. The HH3A is the original one supplied to me years ago.
When Infinity was installed I also added a pair of TP Link powerline adapters, to provide a connection to an unmanaged network switch in the lounge.
A rough outline of what I have connected to the router is:
Wired
- Synology NAS Diskstation
- Win7 laptop
- powerline adapter
Wifi
- 3 iphones
- 2 ipads
- Win7 laptop
- 2 Win Vista laptops
Powerline / network switch
- Sonos bridge
- TV
- BluRay
- Vodafone booster
- SkyHD
Recently I am getting a number of different problems:
1) wifi drops to everything connected to the router, at the same time, all blue lights are on the router
I lose wifi connection to the internet, from all devices, at the same time, but also the connection from my laptop to the NAS drops.
2) Anything connected to the Powerline adapter is rarely available
I try and connect to Sonos, or my sky box or the TV, but they aren't connected to the router. The lights on the powerline adapters indicate everything is fine, and the HH3 has all blue lights. But my iphone and laptop cannot find my Sonos. My iphone app cannot find my sky box. And on the TV it says it is not connected to the internet. To solve this problem I have to power cycle the pair of Powerline adapters.
Some observations:
1) these problems are all since Infinity was installed. I have no idea if that is relevant.
2) My NAS Diskstation has a powersave mode. I noticed last night that when I woke it up, the powerline adapters disconnected briefly, before reconnecting. But when they did reconnect I could not access anything connected to them. It was as if the NAS had booted them off the network, and then they couldn't get back on.
3) I run a 10m brand new Cat5e cable from the infinity modem to my router, because the modem is in the garage.
Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out with this.
Thanks for any help.

If you set the devices on the home hub to always use the same IP address, then that can help.
The problem is that when the DHCP lease expires, the home hub often gives the device a different IP address, and this breaks the port forwarding rules.
Some routers allow you to specify which IP addresses are to be reserved, but the home hub does not.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

Help with making a network from my external hard drive!

I need some help making my external hard drive available to read and write in my department.
We're all using Macs (at least 10.5.8) and I cannot seem to find any literature to share or network my external hard drive with other Macs.
Please help me!
thanks

Try this:
1) Open the Sharing panel of System Preferences.
2) If the lock at the bottom is "closed", click on it and enter your administrative password.
3) Check the box for "File Sharing.
4) Click on the plus sign below "Shared Folders".
5) Select your external drive and click the "Add" button.
6) Under "Users" set the permissions to what you want.
These instructions are based on OS X 10.6, but 10.5 should be similar.

Help with my nokia n95 please.

Hi all.
I am with 3g network, i had a free upgrade a few months ago, did not like the mobile they sent me ( nokia 6288 ).
So i bought a brand new nokia n95 from ebay, locked to vodafone network.
I had it unlocked saturday and put my 3g sim card in it.
The phone is working, but i could not send picture messages or brow,s the web.
I managed to sort those 2 probs out with the help of the nokia website, had to download 2 codes for my phone.
does anyone know how i can get my gps to work with the 3g network ?.
I did phone my network provider, and was told it will not work, becouse my n95 needs to be locked to the 3g network.
Can anyone help me please.
Regards
Ken.

Hi kenbo
Although "voice navigation" requires purchasing a license, GPS feature is not network dependent. You can however have a free "3 day trial"
Firstly if you are using v12.0.013 software on your N95 it is a lot quicker to obtain fix with A-GPS feature, although an active connection via WLAN or Network is needed.
Go outside away from buildings and tress with clear view of sky. Open slider and hold phone at 45degrees, don't cover "#" key as GPS antenna beneath it. Low cloud or rain will make satellite acquisition a lot longer.
If you go to Menu > Tools > GPS data > (searching for + calculating data) > Position > Options > Satellite status
This shows any number of satellites up to five - empty rectangle = not locked on - black filled rectangle = signal acquired; you need a minimum of 3 solid bars for lock-on and triangulation to work!
Depending upon which version of Nokia Maps is installed on your N95 you may either have satellite icon bottom right of your screen or satellite icon with three yellow or green lights.

Need some help with the colour profile please. Urgent! Thanks

Dear all, I need help with the colour profile of my photoshop CS6.
I've taken a photo with my Canon DSLR. When I opened the raw with ACDSee, the colour looks perfectly ok.
So I go ahead and open in photoshop. I did nothing to the photo. It still looks ok
Then I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
And the colour started to get messed up.
And the output is a total diasater
Put the above photo side by side with the raw, the red has became crimson!!
So I tried the other option, Use the embedded profile
The whole picture turns yellowish in Photoshop's interface
And the output is just the same as the third option.
Could someone please guide me how to fix this? Thank you.

I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
always use the embedded profile when opening tagged images in Photoshop - at that point Photoshop will convert the source colors over to your monitor space correctly
if your colors are wrong at that point either your monitor profile is off, or your source colors are not what you think they are - if other apps are displaying correctly you most likely have either a defective monitor profile or source profile issues
windows calibrate link:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Calibrate-your-display
for Photoshop to work properly, i recall you want to have "use my settings for this device" checked in Color Management> Device tab
you may want to download the PDI reference image to check your monitor and print workflows
and complete five easy steps to profile enlightenment in Photoshop
with your settings, monitor profile and source profiles sorted out it should be pretty easy to pinpoint the problem...

Help with multiple AP network setup

I am in need of a little help setting up my network again. I have a AP extreme2, AP extreme 1 and two AP expresses. The house I am in is wired with CAD 5 to each room. I have a Linksys Etherfast Router (BEFSR81, this is the 8 port version of the one that is certified to work with Back to my mac). I have two desktop macs (G4 and G5)without wireless as well as a MBPro.
I have had this all working as a WDS using the airports in bridge mode and was able to control Airtunes from any computer in the house, share files and use screen sharing without trouble. The problem is that back to my mac would not work with this set up because NAT was not switched on. How should I configure each of the Airports to be able to use Back to my mac, file sharing and airtunes for each computer in the house?
The basic set up I have is as follows:
1. Linkys router receiving input from cable modem (cox cable) and passing to LAN to distribute to each room of the house.
2. AP extreme 2 in office with G4/G5, airdisk attached.
3. AP extreme 1 in bed room
4. AP express in living room
5. AP express in den
In order to use the back to my mac feature of 10.5 I believe I need to select "Share a single IP address" in the Airport utility but what do I need to do after that? I am at a loss with IP addressing and such.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Greg

I'm using the Mac wired - it does not have wireless capability, and as it is sitting right next to the router I just want to hook it up with Ethernet cable. The wireless function is just for the PCs I have downstairs.
I am not sure what non-broadcast SSID means, but I think that has to do with the wireless portion of the network, right? I do have a SSID name set up, and WEP encryption so that only the PCs I own can connect to the wireless network, not anyone else's computers. But on the wired PC I have connected directly to the router, I do not have to input any of the security settings. I've even set the router to recognize the MAC addresses of all my computers, including the Mac.
What brand and model of router are you using successfully with Macs & PCs? The store I bought my router from is willing to give me a full refund if I can't get it to work - perhaps I would have better luck with the type of router you're using.

Need help with threads?.. please check my approach!!

Hello frnds,
I am trying to write a program.. who monitors my external tool.. please check my way of doing it.. as whenever i write programs having thread.. i end up goosy.. :(
first let me tell.. what I want from program.. I have to start an external tool.. on separate thread.. (as it takes some time).. then it takes some arguments(3 arguments).. from file.. so i read the file.. and have to run tool.. continously.. until there are arguments left.. in file.. or.. user has stopped it by pressing STOP button..
I have to put a marker in file too.. so that.. if program started again.. file is read from marker postion.. !!
Hope I make clear.. what am trying to do!!
My approach is like..
1. Have two buttons.. START and STOP on Frame..
START--> pressed
2. check marker("$" sign.. placed in beginning of file during start).. on file..
     read File from marker.. got 3 arg.. pass it to tool.. and run it.. (on separate thread).. put marker.. (for next reading)
     Step 2.. continously..
3. STOP--> pressed
     until last thread.. stops.. keep running the tool.. and when last thread stops.. stop reading any more arguments..
Question is:
1. Should i read file again and again.. ?.. or read it once after "$" sign.. store data in array.. and once stopped pressed.. read file again.. and put marker ("$" sign) at last read line..
2. how should i know when my thread has stopped.. so I start tool again??.. am totally confused.. !!
please modify my approach.. if u find anything odd..
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello,
I have no experience with threads or with having more than run "program" in a single java file. All my java files have the same structure. This master.java looks something like this:
---master.java---------------------------------------------------
import java.sql.*;
import...
public class Master {
public static void main(String args []) throws SQLException, IOException {
//create connection pool here
while (true) { // start loop here (each loop takes about five minutes)
// set values of variables
// select a slave process to run (from a list of slave programs)
execute selected slave program
// check for loop exit value
} // end while loop
System.out.println("Program Complete");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e);
} finally {
if (rSet1 != null)
try { rSet1.close(); } catch( SQLException ignore ) { /* ignored */ }
connection.close();
-------end master.java--------------------------------------------------------
This master.java program will run continuously for days or weeks, each time through the loop starting another slave process which runs for five minutes to up to an hour, which means there may be ten to twenty of these slave processes running simultaneously.
I believe threads is the best way to do this, but I don't know where to locate these slave programs: either inside the master.java program or separate slave.java files? I will need help with either method.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

Help with css3 rollover tag please

Hey guys I'm stumped and need help with positioning some big picture buttons.
Here is the link o the home page http://ceramic-planet2.businesscatalyst.com/
As u can see I have four picture buttons using css3 roller but I want all four buttons next to each other
2 buttons next to each other with the next 2 directly below .
Now orgininally I used the dreamweaver rollover button and everything was inline so flowed across the page no problem. These are divs and I've tried to make 2 panels side by side among other hings but I'm not getting there so I thought one of u clever guys would have no problems telling me what to do.
Please help I'm not getting the inline or absolute placement right
Dave

Hey Dave,
You need to remove the margin from #mosaicbutton, #kitchenbutton
and then add float : left; to #bathroombutton, #floorbutton, #mosaicbutton, #kitchenbutton,
That'll get you buttons sitting the way you want them, you may need to play with the margins after that.

Can someone help with me this so I am able to put in my password for this? Thanks!

Some help with the 10g install, please.

Hi,
We want to install 10g, we are currently running 9i. We want to do this in silent mode since we have so many databases to move to 10g. We've got a few questions & concerns about the procedures that are supposed to be done.
If someone could kindly read over some of our concerns, we'd appreciate it.
First, we used the -record method to create a response file. How much do we have to manually edit that file once Oracle creates it for us? Or is it ready to go after we exit the OUI.
When we tried to do the install, it said it successfully installed 10g, but it failed on some of the configuration assistants. Do we need to run all of the configuration assistants? I mean, TNS is already configured. Does it change for the 10g install?
Additionally, once the 10g software is complete, the environment is still set to 9i. How does that get changed for the silent install to continue with the DBUA? I mean, we do have databases that need upgrading.
Any help with steps would be very helpful to us. We're getting error messages like this:
The installation of Oracle Database 10g was successful, but some
optional configuration assistants failed, were cancelled or skipped.
Please check
'/ora2/app/oracle/oraInventory/logs/silentInstall2006-10-26_01-26-39PM.log'
for more details.

Help with Rendering/Finalizing Project Please?

Hi,
I am so new to this entire Adobe and video making that I've spent the last few hours pulling hair literally. I am hoping that some of you experts can take some time to give this novice some much needed guidance. Okay, I'm begging!
I recorded a wedding on a XHA1 MiniDV camera in 1080p 24fps. Captured the clips to PP CS4 which in turn makes them MPEG, I believe. Included in my project are addition clips imported from a Canon HF S21 also in 1080p 24fps and a Rebel T2i in ?? format. Didn't use too many clips from the rebel.
Anyhow, my project settings in PP are:
Video - Display format = Frames
Audio - Display format = Audio Samples
Capture Format = HDV
All Scratch disks are saved on to my desktop with 284 GB
Here is a picture of the sequence settings:
Again, sorry for the ignorance and stupiditiy. I am wondering what would help.
I am trying to burn it all with chapter markers and additional features to a DVD.
- What would be the BEST settings for exporting to Encore?
- Should I separate each section into a different sequence - would that help? For example, the pre-ceremony to one sequence. The ceremony to another. The reception to another. Or should I make new projects for each?
- How can I make my computer faster? Is it the memory, ram, etc? What should I do?
Right now, it has failed over and over in rendering in After Effects. It stops encoding when I export to AME. It says 158 hours for rendering in PP.
HELP!
I am using an iMac and here are computer specs (again, I am not even sure what to post to help you all help me):
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac11,3
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.93 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
Boot ROM Version: IM112.0057.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.59f2
Here is a pic of what I'm working on. I know the pic-in-pic feature probably doesn't help with rendering time either but 158 hours is killing me. In fact, when I go to sleep, I wake up to an error message where PP has closed.

leevang,
Your computer looks great. I wouldn't be too worried about the time PP shows for encoding etc.
I have found that right when I first start to encode a project, 73 hours or 12 hours is normal. Rendering is not necessary for encoding. However when I look back later, the time has dropped greatly.
Down to 2 or 3 hours. that's when I follow Jeff B.'s suggestions when I do a 2X scan.......

I need help with the https class please.

Hello, i need add an authentication field in my GET request using HTTPS to authenticate users. I put the authentication field using the setRequestProperty method, but it doesn't appear when i print all properties using the getRequestProperties method. I wrote the following code:

URLConnection conexion;
conexion = url.openConnection();
conexion.setRequestProperty("Authorization",my_urlEncoder_string);
conexion.setRequestProperty("Host",my_loginServer);
HttpsURLConnection httpsConexion = (HttpsURLConnection) conexion;
httpsConexion.setRequestMethod("GET");
System.out.println("All properties\r\n: " + httpsConexion.getRequestProperties());
}catch ....
when i run the program it show the following text:
All properties: {Host=[my_loginServer]}
Only the Host field is added to my HttpsURLConnection. The authentication field doesnt appear in standar output. How can i add to my HttpsURLConnection an Authentication field?
thanks

I have moved this to the main Dreamweaver forum, as the other forum is intended to deal with the Getting Started video tutorial.
The best way to get help with layout problems is to upload the files to a website and post the URL in the forum. Someone can then look at the code, and identify the problem. Judging from your description, it sounds as though the Document window is narrow, which would result in the final menu tab dropping down to the next row. Try turning on Live view or previewing the page in a browser. Design view gives only an approximate idea of the final layout. Live view renders the page as it should look in a browser.
