Host name oddity

According to Airport Utility > AirPort > Time Capsule, the name of my Time Capsule should be Time-Capsule.local. That's also how it appears when I click on "Edit ...". I don't have the dynamic global hostname option checked in the dialog that appears when you click on "Edit ..." (I also don't have the sharing options checked under Disks > File Sharing.
However, if in the Finder I type command-K for connect to server and then afp://Time-Capsule.local, the Time Machine isn't found. What I've found, instead is that the Bonjour address of my Time Capsule is grandenetworks.local -- which is basically the domain name of my ISP followed by ".local"
Can anyone explain this situation?

There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
2. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is due to a bug in OS X that may only affect some models.
3. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
4. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
5. See also this support article.

How can I get the host name from Email address?

hi
When I using socket to develope an email-sending servlet,I don't know how to get the host name from emial address.can you help me,thanks

Stripping off the user name will give you the domain of from field in the message. This is not the same as the host. Take a look at:
http://www.stopspam.org/email/headers/headers.html
Theres a pretty good discussion about email headers and how to use the information. You probably want to check the information here against the RFC.

Hello All,
we have created shared folder on multiple client machine in domain environment on different 2 OS like-XP,Vista, etc.
from some day's When we facing problem when we are access from host name that shared folder is accessible but same time same computer when we are trying to access the share folder with IP it asking for credentials i have type again and again
correct credential but unable to access that. If i re-share the folder then we are access it but when we are restarted the system then same problem is occurring.
I have checked IP,DNS,Gateway and more each & everything is well.
Pls suggest us.
Pankaj Kumar

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that the same shared folder can be accessed by name, but can’t be accessed be IP address and asks for credentials.
Please try to enable the option below on the device which has shared folder:
Besides, check the Advanced Shring settings of shared folder and confrim that if there is any limitation settings.

How can I create a host name site collection when I have a 443 web application already created for App model?

Hi all,
I have a 2013 farm set up with the App model
1 web application for path based site collection using host name
1 web application with SSL (no host name)
1 web application for mysite
My business request is that I need to migrate SSL enabled 2007 content to this farm and use host name site collections. I tried to create one more web application for this without any luck (the 443 IIS folder is already used by another web application).
I thought I bind the previous 443 web application with another IP address should be fine. Seems like the IIS site is taken (https://server name:443) so it will not let me create one more. How can I solve this problem so I can create the web application
to host those host name site collections? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sally

Hi Trevor,
Thanks again for your quick reply. I try the option 2 right after your post. I use my front end server name for public URL (https://WFEName:443) and it fails again. The error message is:
The directory C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\VirtualDirectories\443 is already being used by another IIS Web Site. Choose a different root directory for your new Web application.
After reading more, I saw mix Hosted Name Site collection and Path-based site collection aren't recommended. Unfortunately I already have Path-based site collection created with App model web application
(the web application without host name) in my farm. In my Option 2, that web application without host name is used for App routing. This takes the root folder 443 which will not allow any other web application to use the same name again.
Does that mean we can't create Host Named Site collection in the same farm? Is there any configuration I need to check?
Thanks again.

HOW TO DEFINE VIRTUAL HOST NAME IN HPIA64 + SAP R/3 ENTERPRISES 4.7

Hi all,
I am trying to install sap r/3 enterprises 4.7 with OS as HP-UX and Database as Oracle in a cluster environment.
In cluster environment sap installation should be done on virtual hostname ( package id ). I'm using the env variable SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<VIRTUAL HOSTNAME>.
My cluster is running and I'm able to ping it from network, but at the time of SAP Installation my sapinst starts with the physical host name not with the virtual host name.
What can be the solution ..?
Thanks,
Chandresh Pranami.

Hi Chandresh,
Try executing sapinst with virtual hostname.
eg. ./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<VIRTUAL HOSTNAME>.
This should work.

Domain name/"primary DNS" name/mail host name/mail server name/mx name

Hi,
I have registered my domain name (N.com) with an external dns server and created an MX record (mail.N.com) for it as well. My server sits behind a router and internet traffic is port(80)-forwarded to my server's fixed internal ip address (I can access my webpages from the internet just fine). When I initially setup the server I was asked to give it a "primary DNS name." I naturally assumed that N.com was supposed to be entered here, but that just caused all kinds of problems (though I still do not understand why). So I reinstalled and currently have server.N.com as the primary DNS name of the server (although it shows up in Server Admin and Workgroup Manager as server.local--why is that?)
I have had no luck getting any email from the internet with the default settings in mail services (domain name of N.com and host name of server.N.com). Having no luck with the defaults, I assumed that maybe I needed to change the host name to "mail.N.com" so that it matched the MX record. I also changed the user preferences in Workgroup Manager to receive mail from mail.N.com--but still no luck. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong and how come none of the Mail Service literature mentions anything about what a mail "host name" is supposed to be? Is it supposed to be the same as the "Mail Server" name that Workgroup Manager asks each user for? and is it the same as the MX record name?
I am just needing some help to connect all these variously named, but undefined, dots.
Also, how come I can access webmail from the internet using www.N.com/webmail but can't do it from any computers within my physical network (I have to use IPaddress/webmail or server.local/webmail)?
Also, should my user email addresses be [email protected] or [email protected] (which is the current default)?
Thanks in advance and good luck!
John

I had been told by a friend that ... regular email coming in from the internet would go through port 80
Unfortunately you were misinformed.
My MX record needs the extra subname (such as "mail") in front of the domain name, right?
Not at all. A MX record for 'N.com' is entirely valid (expected, in fact).
An MX record tells remote mail servers where to send mail for any domain/subdomain. If you think about it, let's say you worked for Apple and you wanted people to be able to send email to [email protected], well then you need an MX record for 'apple.com'.
You can see if you dig MX apple.com that they actually have 9 MX records, but the point still stands.
Now, you might also have MX records for subdomains so that you can have [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. Each of these subdomains would need a separate MX record.
So, in general, for any set of email addresses @[anything.]domain.com you have a MX record telling remote mail servers where to send that mail.
Of course the MX record name is mail.N.com, but I think you are implying that the in the Mail settings of Server Admin where it asks for domain name all I need to put there is the N.com, right?
What I mean is that you need to set the domain name to whatever domain name you expect to receive mail at.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected], then you enter 'N.com'.
If you want users to have email addresses in the form of [email protected] then you enter 'mail.N.com'.
If you want both forms, enter one in the main domain and add the other(s) in the Advanced -> Hosting -> Local Host Aliases section.
Is there anything in the Mail settings that needs to have the full MX record name (mail.N.com)?
Yes. Either the 'domain name' or the 'Local Host Aliases' needs to contain the same thing as your MX record. That's because the MX record tells remote servers to send mail to this machine, but the machine won't accept the mail unless it is configured to do so.
What is the "host name" supposed to be?
This should be the name that remote servers see when this machine tries to send outgoing mail.
Ideally this should match the reverse DNS of your IP address, that way when it connects to a remote server it says "Hi, I'm $hostname" and the remote server can lookup the machine's IP address and see the same result. This will reduce the problem of remote servers thinking you're sending them spam.
If you only have a single IP address then this probably needs to be something like 'N.com'. If you don't have control over your reverse DNS then you're going to run into a problem.
Also in the user accounts (in Workgroup Manager) what should the "mail server name" be? Is it the host name or the domain name?
Off hand, I don't know.
Also, why are all the default user email addresses [email protected] (the name I gave the server at setup)? Why doesn't the user accounts create [email protected] as the default address?
Presumably because the mail server says it is 'server.N.com' and therefore any accounts on that machine would be [email protected]. Changing the domain name (as above) should fix that.

Clearing Host Name from Dynamic DNS set up - Home ...

I changed my DNS provider due to poor performance. Since then I have been trying to change the host name and it stays with the original. Do I have to rest teh home hub back to default settings and set it up again?
If so this is very poor...!

Oh and that is "reset the hub"

How to resolve a host name from IP using JNDI/DNS service provider

Hi
I got two questions on JNDI/DNS service provider:
1) How to resolve a host name when i got an IP
I understand How I do it inverse.
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.dns.DnsContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "dns://"+server+"/"+domain);
DirContext ictx = new InitialDirContext(env);
Attributes attrs1 = ictx.getAttributes(host, new String[] {"A"});
2) This example above works when I specify the domain in the provider url.
If I am not specifing a domain but only the dns server I got an NameNotFoundException.
What should I do if I don't got the domain?
get the availible domains and loop on them?

Hi,
if your DNS server supports that, you can do a reverse DNS lookup. This works as follows:
String server = "your.dns.server";
String domain = "in-addr.arpa";
String ip = "4.3.2.1";
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "com.sun.jndi.dns.DnsContextFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "dns://" + server + "/" + domain);
DirContext ictx = new InitialDirContext(env);
Attributes attrs1 = ictx.getAttributes(ip, new String[] {"PTR"});1: Use the pseudo-domain in-addr.arpa
2: Use the reverse IP address for lookup, i.e. if your host has 1.2.3.4, use 4.3.2.1!!
3: Request the PTR attribute

Multiple machines with the same host name

Has anyone tried it? Is it supported? We have this policy around here that all db servers are called db2 with different domain names. When I tested it, one host registered with GC properly although without domain name (ie db2 only), but agents on the remaining db2 hosts keep dying and never show up in GC. I'm gonna play with it some more, just wanted to ask if anyone has heard of such problem ...
Thanks,
Julius

Actually, if you see the emd.properties file in the $AGENT_HOME/sysman/config directory, you should be able to specify fully qualified host name (e.g. db2.domainname) in the agent url.
If the agent has secure communication setup with OMS, then you will have to re-secure the agent after changing agent url in emd.properties.
Hope this helps.

Web Dynpro Application URL Host Name Not Correct

Hello,
I am developing a web dynpro application in our development system but when I activate the application it gets a URL that points to our test system. When I test the application in HTTP Service (SICF) the URL for the development system is passed to the browser. WHere do you maintain the host that is being used to build the URL for the web dynpro application when it is activated.
Thanks,
Jim N.

What's the reason for this message, "A server with the specified host name could not be found" ? I'm using iPhone 4s, 16gB, iOS 7.0.4

I get a pop-up message saying "A server with the specified host name could not be found", whenever I try to access any streaming websites/apps or even WhatApp over Wi-Fi and I cannot access the specific THING for that moment, and I've tried switching Wi-Fi On and Off both in my Phone and also in the Router. I got an internet connection and a Wi-Fi router just before two days, and it's happening since. I got the internet speed around 80kbps and i can easily stream YouTube videos except sometimes, I receive that annoying message. I can't even browse the internet in Safari, which says "No Internet Connection"(Even though the Wi-Fi is connected), and I can access it after somewhile (say 10 minutes, it'll be perfectly alright). I use iPhone 4s. And everything about the internet connection is totally fine in my Computer, but not in my iPhone, as I've explained the issues, above. If there are any technical settings that I should change/modify, either on my computer(Windows 7 OS) or in my iPhone(iOS 7.0.4), PLEASE let me know
I hope I've provided enough information for the reader to understand my point. (I apologize for my verbal mistakes, if there are )
THANKS

Hello Paneesh,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 4s. I recommend the following steps:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the issue is still unresolved Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

When attempting to print with HP P2015 cabled to AirPort Extreme, error message is "Network host (name) is busy". What's happening?

When attempting to print with an HP P2015 cabled to an AirPort Extreme, the network won't connect to printer. The Print Que message is "Network host (name) is busy; will retry in (number) seconds." When I delete the file to be printed, the Print Queue screen says "Printer Ready".
More Information:
The printer's Queue Name is Hewlett-Packard HP LaserJet P2015 Series
The Location is "(my name) AirPort Extreme"
URL is "Hewlett_Packard%20%HP%20LaserJet%20P2015%20Series._pdl-datastream._tcp.local./ ?bidi" (for whatever that means)
Driver Version is 18.4
Printer Software is HP LaserJet P2015 Series
The printer is listed as a printer on System Preferences/Print&Fax screen
If I connect the printer cable directly to the iMac, the printer works fine.
Any helpful directions would be greatly appreciated.

I came across an Apple article last modified 6/2/08 (Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule). It suggested the old standby, i.e., disconnect the AirPort Extreme Base Station from its power source, turn off the printer, turn on the printer, and reconnect the AirPort to its power source. It worked. I guess disconnecting the AirPort cleared out the network host. Yea.

Windows 8.1 will not see the Printers host name or ip address

I have tried installing an OfficeJet Pro 8615 on two different Windows 8.1 computers (wireless) but did not connect. Pirnter is connected to network wireless (192.168.111.153). Router is 192.168.111.1. The printer was installed from a Vista (wired) desktop and it connected and printed fine. Both 8.1s can ping router but not the printer. Host name install does not work either. Router is a new Cisco RV180w. It works fine everywhere else. Printer wireless power is 5 of 6. Have looked for shared devices setting on Win 8.1 but have not found it yet. Win 8.1 computers are both 64bit and the install download showed 64x. I am running out of things to check. Can anyone help me? Win 8.1 computers sees other devices on the network but not the printer. Print & Scan Doctor does not see the printer either.
Now I am having the same problem with a Win7 (64) install. It can't see it either. Once I plugged this one into the network then it saw the printer and installed and printed. But if I unpluged the network wire and made it wireless then it stopped seeing the printer. So I am having some kind of a wireless issue.

Hi @EdEdata ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. Thanks for all the details of what you have done and the restuls. (Very helpful) I have read about your HP OfficeJet Pro 8615 Printer not connecting wireless and is not seen by the Print and Scan Dr. Here is a document on printer does not keep a wireless connection. Try assigning a Static IP address. You might have to change the channel.
Make sure your computer is connected to 802.11b/g/n wireless router over a 2.4 GHz connection. NOTE: HP Printers are currently not compatible with 802.11n 5.0 GHz networks. This HP document here, explains about a printer wireless.
