HH5 issuing wrong IP and DNS address

My Win7 desktop pc is connected via ethernet to a HH5 and worked until this morning when it wouldn't connect to the internet. Various restarts of pc and HH didn't work so I checked the properties of the pc network. It stated that the IP address was valid (192.168.1.65) but the DNS was 192.168.0.254 instead of 192.168.1.254. After I changed it it worked OK so I manually set it to the DNS values in the HH5 setup of 62.6.40.162.
All is working on my pc but now my win7 laptop is having the same problem when connected wirelessly to the HH. Also my Brother wireless printer wouldn't connect so I restarted it's network wizard which seemed to work until I checked the IP address and it's 192.168.0.104 so can't be seen by other devices.
However, assorted iPads and iPhones all seem to connect and get the correct IP and DNS addresses OK giving good internet access.
This only started this morning and as far as I know nothing has changed.
What is going on ?
Oh and I have already tried a factory reset of the HH5 by sticking a pin in the reset hole.

Try disabling IPv6 on the Windows machines.
This suggestion by forum member gg30340, should fix the problem.
Select Start
In the Start Search field type ncpa.cpl and press the Enter key on your keyboard.
In the new window, right-click on your Wireless Network Connection and select Properties.
In the This connection uses the following items section, remove the tick beside (i.e. disable) Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and then press OK.
Left click on Internet Protocol IPV4, click on properties. Check the options to obtain IP address and DNS Server address automatically.

ITouch loses router and DNS addresses?

I have had my iTouch for about a week and it connected to my wireless network for the first three days flawlessly. Since that time, it will only connect sporadically and I have noticed that when it doesn't connect, it is because the router and DNS addresses have disappeared in the wireless window in Settings. I can get them back occasionally by renewing lease in this window, but more often than not, renewing lease does not reestablish these addresses.
I reset the iTouch through itunes, but this did not solve the problem.
Additional information. The iTouch has the full signal (maximum number of bars). I am using an airport extreme as my base station. I have three macs that I connect to the wireless network through the base station. I have a few airport expresses that are connected to audio equipment or video game units. All of these continue to work well and have no problem connecting to the wireless network.
Your help/thoughts would be most appreciated.

Is your router broadcasting its SSID? If not, try enabling that because the Touch often has a hard time remembering a network if it is hidden. Hiding your SSID is very minimal security, so there's really no point to hiding it.

Safari 5 and DNS address?

I've been having this problem every since I got my laptop a month ago... I have a wireless router that's connected to a PC, and I use wireless on my laptop. My old laptop was a PC, and the internet connection was just fine on it. However, I'm having issues with my MacBook Pro. When I first turned on my laptop after taking it out of the box, Airport detected my wireless router and connected me to the internet. Obviously, I used Safari 5 as my browser and although it works... it doesn't load the pages as fast as it should. It even stops loading at times. Usually, I quit Safari and reopen Safari and it works and if it doesn't, I click on the reload button or just keep re-opening Safari until it does work... buttt I am tired of doing that now. So after a lot of attempts by trial and error, I think I found the solution and was wondering if anyone could confirm this with me. I went to my router's IP address and I looked at the settings. I looked at the router's DNS settings and I copied and pasted that router setting into the DNS settings on my laptop for the wireless network. Now, my internet seems to be working... but then again it has only been 5 minutes. So my question is... the router's DNS has to match the wireless network's DNS address?
Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question... I'm not an expert when it comes to internet, LAN, proxies, and etc. settings. Thank you!

DNS is what turns www.apple.com (a domain name) into 118.215.101.15 - the physical address of the hardware the web site is running on.
You only really need one DNS server but most ISPs give a secondary/backup one if the first fails.
You can also use many/any of the public DNS servers (Tuttle shows 8.8.8.8 as his primary lookup for example) you don't have to stick with your ISP's - sometimes external servers are faster.
Google tracks everything.

How do I add a computer when the ip and dns address do not match?

I am using ARD to connect to a few computers at a remote site. The site has a Static IP, as well as each machine on the local network. One of the machines works fine (a Mac Mini running ARD 3.6), but that was set up a while ago, and any other machines (running ARD 3.6.2) I try to add will not work.
Basically, I want to add a machine with an IP address of the location (ex. 50.50.120.181), and the DNS name of the computer on the local network (ex. 192-168-1-21.lightspeed.stlsmo.sbcglobal.net). This is how the Mac Mini is set up and works. However, every time I try to change the DNS name, it changes the IP address to match (192.168.1.21). Since I'm connecting remotely, that doesn't work. If I try to change back the IP address, it just reverts it right back.
How do I get ARD to stick with the IP address I tell it to??

Open System Preferences
Click on Accounts
Click on the padlock and enter password
Click on login options
There you should see an option to disable "automatic login". You should also notice some other options there that you may or may not want. They should be pretty self explanatory.
The Security panel has an option to require password after sleep or the screen saver is invoked if you need it.

Thunderbird gets wrong DNS address

Thunderbird has just begun using an old server address when downloading emails, not my current server address. I have been using the new host with the same name for years.
I can connect using Firefox webmail,
I can connect using Thunderbird on another computer on my home network.
Ping returns the correct DNS address
Here is a log snippet
3568[67dd3c0]: ImapThreadMainLoop entering [this=6dd8800]

Note that virtus.fuber.org is the wrong address and is now not used anywhere in my system. Correct addresses are the macomputer domain names.
This happened overnight - working last Wednesday night broken last Thursday night

We're new to supporting Thunderbird here, so apologies for not knowing the program well.
I don't think this is a DNS problem, since the host name is completely different. Usually a DNS problem would be getting the wrong IP address for a host.
If you do not have any accounts on the old server set up for send/receive, then there's no reason for Thunderbird to be connecting.
I have a guess, based on experience with Microsoft email clients. If you open an old message that you have not read before (or move it out of your Inbox without reading it), and it is set to send a Read Receipt, this can trigger attempts to send the receipt out using the connection on which it was received.
If you have Thunderbird set to never send a read receipt, or to prompt you, then this probably isn't the issue. You could check your receipt setting here:

DHCPv6 gives wrong DNS address

DHCPv6 in the Time Capsule gives me wrong DNS address (same as GW). I can not figure out how to solve this problem. I am using the latest version 7.6.1.
First relevant screen (IPv6 page):
I configured everything statically. There is no problem in routing. I can ping everywhere. But there is problem in DNS.
Second relevant screen (TCP/IP page):
IPv4 is configured statically too. Time Capsule is giving IPv4 DNS 192.168.0.2 by DHCP correctly, but the IPv6 DNS is ignored.
Thirth relevant screen (Windows box):
This machine works as a Domain Controller and DNS so I need the DNS requests to end here. At IPv4 no problem. At IPv6 Time Capsule`s DHCPv6 is giving incorrect DNS address. It shoud give the one from line "IPv6 DNS Server(s)". Instead of it it gives the one from line "LAN IPv6 Address".
Because of this I have to shut the whole IPv6 down otherwise clients report that they can not resolve.
Thanks for any idea.

Wrong name in email address and damaged index in address book

I have experienced this problem for months now. I have a Mac Pro at the office and MacBook Pro at home. The address book is synced with .mac. At random I will receive emails and the mail program will attach the wrong name with the address ( John doe [email protected] will be displayed as mary smith [email protected] ) this also happens in mail I have sent and copied myself on. The incorrect name is usually one that exist in my address book. The second part of the problem which may be related is the index for both address books will get damaged. Every few days I have to discard the address book index file ( AddressBook-v22.abcddb ) which fixes the index issue for a few days. The computers nor the applications ever crash. I wonder if the .mac syncing could be key to both computers having index issues. Rebuilding the address index does not fix the wrong name issue. Both computers are 10.5.2. I feel there is some deeper corruption issue that rebuilding that one index file does not correct. I have also rebuilt all the mail boxes.

SOLUTION: my ultimate solution to the address book confusing contact info in ichat, mail, etc. was to go to ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ and delete the AddressBook-v22.abcddb file. back up your contacts first!!! but after you delete and relaunch, Address Book will rebuild using the info from the Metadata folder. worked like a charm.

Defining IP Address and DNS configration on VMWare server?

plz suggest as mentioned in subject.
We have SuSe LINUX Version ans wants to define IP Address and DNS setting.
We get some error which looks like as resulted due to IP or DNS setting.
Guys..guide me to correct forum if reqd.

Using VMWare there are two issues to keep in mind.
a) Which kind of network are you using in VMWare
b) Set up the IP information in your VMWare guest (SuSe)
a) There are three network types in VMWare, host only, bridged and NAT.
Usually I use host-only for my machines as they are used for internal testing.. Bridged will connect to the real network and maybe you get an IP address from there (when DHCP is used). NAT will use you computers IP and translate it.
b) Setting the IP is easy - just use YAST and configure the IP address of your machine (either fixed or using DHCP). Setting up a DNS server yourself is out of the scope of this posting. Look on the internet for a howto to set up your DNS server. If you just need to configure a DNS server with your IP this can be done with YAST.

DNS addresses (master and slave) + personalizing the url address

Hello.
My name is Fernando and I published my site using MobileMe (www.fernandoingles.com).
It’s working already really well.
But since I’m from Brazil, I built one in Portuguese as well.
And since the common site endings here are .br I’m trying to purchase the www.fernandoingles.com.br as well but in order to be able to actually buy the site I have to give them two DNS addresses of the place I’m publishing the website with.
(one ‘Master’ and one ‘Slave’).
How can I get those addresses?
And another thing is that I also have my bands site’s published under my main domain name (fernandoingles.com) with my main MobileMe account (but I have the family pack now).
[www.pipeusa.net and www.pipebrasil.com]
I purchased those Urls using GoDaddy and they are all properly forwarded already, which means that when the person types those addresses above it already goes to the correct site.
But what shows on the actual url above is (http://www.fernandoingles.com/fernandoingles.com/Pipe.html).
And what I would like to appear is only the addresses (www.pipeusa.net and www.pipebrasil.com) instead of my name before them.
I bought the family pack so that I would have more space and etc... and already put those addresses ((www.pipeusa.net and www.pipebrasil.com and fernandoingles.com.br) as their main domain.
But since I’m publishing them all using my own iWeb how could I make those extra sites work as their own main sites?
Would it work if I log in with the desired MobileMe sub-account (let’s say www.pipeusa.net) and then go to iWeb, move that site to the top and them publish it?

Thank you so much for the response!
Great option on the added accounts!!
Since I manage all those sites myself could I manage them all within the same 'log in' or each and every time I need to make a change on one of those sites I must 'log out' of whatever account I'm in and then 'log in' into the account that the change needs to be made?
And whenever I 'log in' into those accounts (the ones that have the respective domains) should I replace on iWeb before I publish the top site with the one I want to as the main domain or can I just not do anything at all?
And about the DNS address issue,
Since I’m from Brazil, I always build two sites, one in Portuguese and one in English.
And since the common site endings here in Brazil are '.br' I’m trying to purchase the '.br' option of all the addresses I have as well but in order to be able to actually buy the site I have to give them two DNS addresses of the place I’m publishing the website with.
(one ‘Master’ and one ‘Slave’).
How can I get those addresses?"
Thank you so much for the help!!!!

RE6500 system time not set and, why set a DNS address?

How do I set the RE6500 system time to current day if it's showing January 1970? It is connected to the router on both frequencies and the extender output is working on both frequencies. I have set the RE6500 to a static address of 192.168.1.3 as the router address is 192.168.1.1. In the RE6500 the default gateway is set to the router address of 192.168.1.1. Is it necessary to set the DNS address in the RE6500 as the router is the default gateway?

Hi Chadster766; thanks for the prompt reply. I tried using the external primary DNS address set in the router - saving and rebooting - and when that didn't work, I used the same IP address as the router 192.168.1.1. That didn't work either; I did a warm re-boot of the computer after setting the DNS in the RE6500. What am I missing or, should I reinstall the RE6500 and use the default DNS settings? I'm using Windows 7 Sp1 and the RE6500 icon does not appear in Network, so it appears to be an issue between Windows and the RE6500.

Airport Express and DNS Issues

Recently I bought a Airport Express and i have been using it connected to a ADSL modem (modem is using PPPoE). Before that i used to have a D-Link wireless router connected to the modem, with no issues. Airport Express is working as bridge mode.
I was having trouble with my Macbook connecting some websites (with Windows computer it was ok), and I could solve it by adding DNS preferred addresses on System Preferences. Although it completely solved my home network problems, every time I go to a place where the preferred DNS is different, I have to exclude the addresses from System Preferences to internet to work fine.
Can anyone help me with that? Is it a Airport Express bug?
Thanks for any help.

That suggests to me that you're expecting the "ADSL modem" to perform router functions. Is it capable of that? What is the brand and model of that modem? If the modem can't perform router functions, your Express shouldn't be in bridge mode.

If something on your LAN is performing proper DHCP functions, that "something" should provide your MacBook with usable DNS addresses without your having to declare them manually.

Spotlight lists items and shows preview images. BUT what about showing the path/location address of an item in my computer.
Especially important if I've put the item in the wrong folder and what to locate it without multi-steps. iMac OS X 10.5 was more useful.
Old OSX Spotlight function automatically displayed path/location within the machine: e.g. desktop/folder/sub-folder/item.
Can I make Spotlight show the path?

Press option-command and the path is displayed at the bottom of the little preview window. Press command-return and the enclosing folder opens.

DNS pointing to both internal and external addresses

I am currently going through the very helpful lynda.com OS X Server 10.5 videos to set up an Advanced Server from the ground up.
DNS was set up first and for the most part everything has gone for me just like Sean shows in the movies.
Our company's domain name is automaticduck.com so I have been setting up DNS records for our internal network to some of the machines, for example the Xserve I'm configuring is called duckxserve.automaticduck.com and it points to the proper internal IP address. I set up my MacBook Pro OS X Client system to use the new DNS server on duckxserve and while it works for getting around the internal network now I'm having problems connecting to outside addresses on our domain such as www.automaticduck.com and support.automaticduck.com. If I remove the internal Xserve from my client's DNS servers list I am able to get out again.
I thought I would be smart and add A NAME records to my internal DNS server with the external IP addresses, however this didn't change anything, I still couldn't get out to them.
We are NOT hosting our own web site and email etc., we have DNS set up through our web host with A NAME, C NAME and MX records for various servers that are exposed to the outside world.
My intention based on my understanding was that with the setup of this internal Xserve running DNS it would simply serve DNS records to the internal network. How can my set up my internal DNS to it does not conflict with my ability to get out to our outside public addresses?

Thank you for the reply, Tony.
If I set up the forwarders section* can I just not include information about our automaticduck.com servers that are not on our internal network? It seems to me (not that I know anything about this) that if our internal DNS server does not know about www.automaticduck.com or support.automaticduck.com then requests for those addresses should get passed on to our ISP's name servers*, right?
*68.238.128.12, 68.238.64.12
This doesn't work like I thought it would.
I have my client set up to use my new internal DNS server's IP address for a DNS server and I am able to get to the local machines defined therein (like http://wesworkg5/ ), however I cannot get to my outside sites... www.automaticduck.com or support.automaticduck.com (I can't even get to discussions.apple.com for some reason).
I can get to other outside sites that I've never been to before (so I know they have to get looked up), like whitehouse.gov or harvard.edu or almondjoy.com
The DNS log doesn't show me anything, maybe it isn't supposed to in a case like this.
Whatcha think? Thank you so much.

Office 2013 and Groupwise, Address book issues

We have the same problem, aparently is related with outlook. When we uninstalled office 2013, the adress book is listed and works properly.

What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?
Maybe this is relevant: I bought iphoto from the German apple store but I now live in Italy. I have tried German credit card with German invoicing address and Italian shipping address. And I have tried Italian credit card with Italian invoicing address and Italian shipping address. The phenomenon is the same: shipping address appears in red and I am asked to fill in the mandatory fields (which turn red whatever I enter).

KarinavD,
what is the setting for the Print Products Store in the Advanced Tab of the iPhoto Preferences?
The country you select there has to match the billing address. And your billing address should match the country of your AppleID and credit card used with the AppleID.
