How do I assign a fixed IP address on the network?

I have a Brother HL-2070N Laser Network printer connected to my Airport Network via an ethernet connection to a switch which is connected to the Airport Extreme Base Station. The Airport is set up as a DHCP server.
I am having a problem with the printer not waking from sleep when I issue a print command. According to Brother tech support, they suggest I change the printer set-up to an IP printer but to do that I will need a static IP address on the network. They have provided the instructions on how to assign the address to the printer but how do I set up the Airport to assign the same IP address to the printer if it has to be restarted, etc?
Thanks,
David

You need to assign the printer an IP address ending in 201 or higher. These are addresses outside of the range used by the DHCP server in the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).

How do I open ports on my airport extreme and assign a fixed IP Address for a device connected to my network?

I recently had a security system installed in my house. One of the features is an EPAD which enables me to have a virtual keypad on my iphone, and computer to operate the alarm system. The technician was not familiar with Mac's and Airports. How do I open port 80 to 80 in my airport and assign a fixed IP address for the EPAD? Apparently this is what is needed to make this work.

There are three ranges of "strictly local" IP addresses reserved for local Network use:
192.168.xxx.yyy
172.16.xxx.yyy
10.xxx.yyy.zzz
What your Router does for you is to act as your agent on the Internet.Your requests are packaged up and forwarded on your behalf, and only when a response is expected is the response returned to your local IP address.
Directing Network Traffic to a Specific Computer on Your
Network (Port Mapping)
AirPort Extreme uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to share a single IP address with the computers that join the AirPort Extreme network. To provide Internet access to several computers with one IP address, NAT assigns private IP addresses to each computer on the AirPort Extreme network, and then matches these addresses with port numbers. The wireless device creates a port-to-private IP address table entry when a computer on your AirPort (private) network sends a request for information to the Internet.
If you’re using a web, AppleShare, or FTP server on your AirPort Extreme network, other computers initiate communication with your server. Because the Apple wireless device has no table entries for these requests, it has no way of directing the information to the appropriate computer on your AirPort network.
To ensure that requests are properly routed to your web, AppleShare, or FTP server, you need to establish a permanent IP address for your server and provide inbound port mapping information to your Apple wireless device.
To set up inbound port mapping:
1) Open AirPort Utility, select your wireless device, and then choose Base Station > Manual Setup, or double-click the device icon to open its configuration in a separate window. Enter the password if necessary.
2) Click the Advanced button, and then click Port Mapping.
3) Click the Add button and choose a service, such as Personal File Sharing, from the Service pop-up menu.

HT204053 how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

how do i change my icloud email address from the one i already have input?

Hi sparkie,
You cannot change your iCloud email address. It is an @me.com address, and is associated specifically with that iCloud account. If you want a different @me address assigned, you have to delete the current iCloud account and set up a new one.
Here is a link with all the support information for iCloud:

Hope this helps!

How to have my dial up connection added to the network utility program?

how to have my dial up connection added to the network utility program for monitoring? though i am connected by dial-up, the connection is not monitored by the utility program. the drop down box there does not show the modem at all. ?

Huh? I don't understand what you are asking. I just pulled up the network utility and I don't see what kind of connection monitoring it does for any kind of connection? What kind of information are you looking to obtain? What problem are you interested in solving by having your question answered?

How do I assign a static IP address?

I bought mSecure from mSeven Software for my iPhone. Had no problem assigning a static IP address to my old PC laptop, but now I've happily switched to Macbook Pro and I can't figure out how to get it done. Need this static IP address to sync my iPhone data to the Macbook Pro. Found something that said I needed to go to "server admin" but I can't figure that out either. I do see how to find my IP address (in system preferences), but I'm not sure how to assign a static address. I'm not the most computer literate person in the world, but I'm fairly teachable - can somebody walk me through this step by step (including what buttons to push to get where you guide me)? Much obliged.

Oh great, forum notifications have grown funky again.
As I understand your question, each client (whether it's a router or not) can be configured to receive its IP address via DHCP, or not. In the latter case you specify its IP address manually in the client. I can't think of a TCP/IP client that does not have this ability.
There is no way to use AirPort Utility to assign specified IP addresses to clients, though you can "reserve" a block of addresses that it will not assign via DHCP.
You can assign an IP address to a client using a directed IP packet, using Terminal (must be run as superuser):
arp -s <desired IP address> <client MAC address>
... but this does not create any entries in the AirPort's MAC address table. Is that what you want to do?

How do I set a "fixed local address" and enable port forwarding?

We are using an iMac G5 with an Airport Express (bought back with the G5 so it's a bit old) and I'm trying to set up the computer so that I can use it with Bosco's Screen Share.
According to the instructions (see step 3) I need to "set your computer’s fixed address on your LAN." so that the Airport will forward a specific port. How do I go about doing this? In my network prefs the Airport is set to use DHCP. Is there something in the Airport Admin that I need to set?
I'm unsure how to go about doing this, any help is greatly appreciated.
Chris

So I should create another location (in the Network prefs) specifically for screen sharing?
If you are going to switch back and forth between the settings then go ahead but there is no need to do it.
Would I set the port forwarding in the Airport Admin under port mapping?
Yes

How do I assign a new IP address to second machine on network?

I'm trying to connect a new MacBook Air to my AE network, which already has a MacBook Pro on it. The Air won't connect because the two machines use the same IP address. I know how to change the Air's IP settings, but don't know enough about IP addresses to know what I can change it to so it works. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Don

2Wire 2701HG-D
Thanks. This is a gateway...a combination modem and router on the same chassis. With the AirPort Extreme on the network, you have 2 routers in series.
That means that the AirPort Extreme must be configured as a "bridge" to work correctly on the network.
Check your settings for the AirPort Extreme using AirPort Utility - Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Connect Using = Ethernet
Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click Update to save any changes and let the AirPort Extreme restart
Power cycle the entire network, power everything down modems, routers, computers, iPhones, etc., order is not important.
Wait 10-15 minutes
Power up the 2Wire first and let it run 4-5 minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme the same way
Power up all other devices the same way
I'm not familiar with the MacBook Air, but you would want it to connect Automatically using DHCP, not manually.
What happens?

How do I find out another computer's IP address on the network?

About ten minustes ago, I noticed a PC appearing on our local Airport network. Since the network is password protected, it startled me. That computer has no business on our network, and since sometimes internet is extremely slow and we even got an email once from some copyright reinforcer, I'm scared that this PC is the PC that might have illegally downloaded movies using our network. I tried to find ways to search for its IP, so I might be able to block it or something. However, I have no idea how to find its IP address, nor do I have any idea how to search for information of computers on the network. Could anybody offer a helping hand in that?

the first step would of course be to change the password wireless network. using WPA2 and a long, non-dictionary password should make your network reasonably secure.
also, ensure your wireless router is password protected (screen shots from my time capsule)
assuming the wireless router creating your network is an Apple product, launch airport utility (in applications > utilities) and enter manual setup for the device. in the summary tab, click on wireless clients
the next window will reveal the MAC addresses of wireless clients connected to your network
you could use the access control tab to allow/restrict access to your network by MAC address.

How can I delete unwanted/inaccurate email addresses from the iPhone cache?

How can I delete old / unwanted / inaccurate email addresses from the "suggestions cache" that keep popping up the moment I type in the first letter in on a fresh email address box?
This is driving me mad! The London Store Apple Genius can only suggest either deleting my email account and then recreating it or totally reseting the iPhone to the original factory settings and then resynching it to my MacBook Pro to get everything back into the iPhone. However, he's not sure that this cache is not stored on the MacBook Pro during synching somewhere so I may well end up where I started! Allan Sampson answered my last "Help" topic, so I'm hoping he can beat the Apple Store Genius again!
Over to the Forum and Allan.

Hi Kelvin and everyone with the same problem.
This used to be me and the painful solution ( for PC users ) is:
Buy a Mac!
Everything "talks" to each other and it all interfaces fine with the business world.
Once you've adjusted to the ( much better ) Mac "culture" it all becomes clear and the
backup service and advice is second to none. Not only that, everything works!
Hope this helps......

How to deal with the automatic 6to4 addresses in the network

As we use public IPv4 address in our network, each computer automatically gets an 6to4 address. I understand after the World IPv6 Lauch, these computers may use the 6to4 address to talk to IPv6 enabled websites through the free and unmanaged 6to4 gateways on internet. This may cause unmanaged connectiviy issues. How to prevent this? How would you deal with this? Is there a way to stop these computers to get the automatic 6to4 addresses?
Thanks.

I know this may not be the answer you're looking for...
But what about considering implementing IPv6 within your network? (dual-stack)
When the computers have native IPv6 connectivity, they should always prefer using the native IPv6 connection rather than any of the tunneling mechanisms such as 6to4.
Instead of looking at this as a "unmanaged" problem, look at this as "managed" connectivity service.
So by enabling IPv6 within your network, you get two things done.
1) Your network steps into the future.
2) Your clients (managed and unmanaged) will have native connectivity to both IPv4 and IPv6 resources, just like you do with IPv4-only resources today, and then you don't have to worry too much about 6to4.

How do I transfer Yahoo e-mail addresses to the Contact app?

How can I transfer my e-mail addresses from my Yahoo address book to the Contact app on the main screen of the iPod touch? If I go into my Yahoo mail on the iPod, the addresses are there but if I click directly on the Contacts app on the main screen it's blank. I'm just setting up my new IPod touch and I've read and re-read the synch directions over and over but other than just plugging it in there's nothing that tells me HOW to move the addresses to the "Contact app" where I'd like to be able to access them from. I'm thinking there must be a better way than to enter everything manually...
Thanks in advance for your help!

Now I have and it worked perfectly!!! Thanks very much. When I went into the iTunes the first time, I missed all the tabs across the top of that screen. For a beginner, the whole iTunes thing is way to busy! My opinion ofcourse. Thanks again!

How to view MAC addresses on the network?

I can log into other non-apple routers via browser and see a list of MAC addresses of equipment connected to the network, but I don't see how to view them if using my Airport Extreme and going in through Airport Utility.
Any thoughts?

If It's the same Mac that can see the PC, it's already set up correctly. Something must be wrong somewhere.

How do I remove/delete another email address in the window where I have to type in my Apple ID? The email address in there is not mine. Help please

When I go to enter my Apple ID ( to update an application ) there is another email address entered which is not mine. So, even when I type in my correct ID , obviously my ID does not match this other email address. How did this 'other' email address get there and how do I get this other email address deleted ? Than you for any advice.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

How do I set up two email address on the same account?

Using Mail in Mac OS X 10.6.2 and moving to Mac for the first time, I have been unable to set up two email addresses on the same account. Entering them, separated by commas, as advised in the Help does not seem to work. I have tried making them both the same password and have tried separating the passwords with a comma but no luck. Unable to set up another account for the second address because it correctly tells me that the account already exists.
Is there a way?
Thanks for any help.
AllanGlen

After a comprehensive trial and error session, using a new Guest Account each time to be sure of no contamination from the previous trial, I have finally cracked it!
The problem was logging on to the outgoing server.
Setting up the first account was fairly straightforward but if I allow Mail to do it automatically I am unable to send because Mail has defaulted to 'Authentication Required' when my server does not require it. Setting the account manually without authentication enables send and receive to work OK.
If i try to set up the second account automatically, Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'No Authentication', Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the full email address as the User Name together with password, Mail crashes.
If I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address together with password, Mail crashes.
However, if I set it up manually and choose 'Authentication Required' and enter the first part of the email address as User Name and no password, Mail accepts it and sets up the account.
At this point the account receives mail but cannot send it.
If I go into the Mail preferences and try to edit the outgoing server details, Mail will not accept no Authentication.
I eventually found that if I uncheck the 'Always Use This Server' box, all account then use the server on the first account, which is correctly set up.
Now I have my four email accounts all able send and receive.
One little concern remains. In Outlook Express I could look at the properties of a received email and see what address it had come from, together with many other details. I haven't found out yet whether this can be done in Mail. I just wonder whether if I reply to some email, it will appear to have come from a different address from the one it was sent to.
Thanks again for all the inputs.

How do I delete an e-mail address on the iPhone? (Already removed from contacts)

Hi - I have a few friends that have changed e-mail addresses. I have removed the old e-mail address from my contacts on my iPhone, however, when I go to begin a new e-mail to them the old e-mail address still shows up as an option. I have already sent e-mails to the incorrect e-mail address a couple of times and I'd really like to delete these incorrect e-mail addresses completely from the iPhone. I have a PC (not a MAC) and my contacts are through my Yahoo e-mail account. I have deleted the incorrect addresses on the Yahoo account on my PC (not that it should matter anyway - since they aren't synced).

iCloud is free (5GB) with iOS 5 you should look into it, makes syncing contacts and editing much easier. To delete an email address you select the contact from the address book, press edit, there will be a red circle with a white line through it, press that then press delete. Then add their new email and press done. If its still coming up the only thing I can think of is if you have an old email in your mail app from their old email address and that may be what is causing the old address to come up.
