How do I configure Server DHCP for a shared-over-WiFi network connection?

Hey all,
Here's how my network is set up-
Comcast > Modem > DD-Wrt router >(Ethernet)> Mac Mini >(WiFi)> Macbook Pro, other devices.
I set the router to use the Mac Mini (with OS X Server) as the DHCP server, and I have the Mac Mini sharing the ethernet connection over WiFi.
The issue is that while my Macbook Pro can get an IP from the Mac Mini (as per DHCP settings), there's no internet connection. I'm not sure I even have the router IP set correctly, should it be the Mac Mini's IP or the router's IP?

I would normally use the router as the DHCP server but it should be possible to use your Mac mini as the DHCP server instead.
With regards to the WiFi, you would want to configure it in bridging mode, this will let WiFi clients and Ethernet clients be on the same subnet and the WiFi clients will then be able to request DHCP addresses from your server on Ethernet. This is the way I have my home network setup.
In the DHCP settings on your Mac mini server, you need to define the default gateway/router as being the IP address of your router. You also need to define valid DNS server addresses. If you running your own internal DNS server perhaps for Open Directory then this would be your internal DNS server address. The range of IP addresses you are issuing need to match the range being used internally by your router as does the subnet mask.

I have 2 lan connections, 1 connect to local network server and other to internet, how do i configure firefox to open website on my local network connection and internet also

''locking as a duplicate - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/812283''
I have 2 local area connections in my computer, one connects to local office network server and another to the internet. when i use firefox i want to configure it to use it to connect to my local office network server website which has address as http://199.123.9.1 and also internet web address simultaneously,

I found the solution, myself, you need to go to network settings and then select manual proxy setting and provide the ip address of the internet server . that's all
"it is not OS setting up problem, around DNS and routing Problems." as stated by you,
anyway thanks.

How do I configure Server 3.0 to deliver "undeliverable" mail to a specific "catchall email address?

How do I configure Server 3.0 to deliver "undeliverable" mail to a specific "catchall email address?
I had this working in Server 2.0 dunno why it doesn't now, but I can't find the config.

It's fairly straight forward and there is a GUI option to help you.
In the Server app, go to Users. Select the User you want to create email aliases for. Right click, or hold down Shift-Ctrl and click on the name. Select 'Advanced Options...' from the menu. You can then enter as many aliases as you want in the 'Aliases'.
For example: [email protected], @xyz.co.uk, [email protected]
My example is overkill as I only really needed to add '@xyz.co.uk' as a catch all get everything sent to that domain delivered to that users email address.

How will i configure partner determination for customer master

how will i configure partner determination for customer master data.

Check this
BUSINESS PARTNERS AND PARTNER DETERMINATION
In the partner determination procedure you can determine whether partner functions can or should occur in a partner object (Customer Master, Sales Document, Item Category etc.) For each object, in which partner function can be created, you can define partner procedures. This also means that
For Customer Master
For Sales Documents
For Sales Documents and Billing Documents: for items
We can define our partner determination procedure for each of these levels as shown below. In Blue are given the ones wherein the Partner Procedures are assigned to the Partner Objects
Customer Master Account Group
Sales Document Header Sales Document Type
Sales document Item Item Category in sales
Delivery Delivery Type
Billing Header Billing Type
Billing Item Billing Type
Sales Activity Sales Activity type
By assigning a procedure you determine for which account groups (for the customer master), which sales document types (for sales documents) and for which item categories this procedure would be valid.
In the partner determination procedure you can determine for each partner function
whether the partner function is an obligatory partner function
whether the partner function can be changed in the document
BUSINESS PARTNER FUNCTION
By assigning a business partner function to a partner you can determine which functions the partner fulfils in the business process. Partner Functions are classified using partner type. The partner type represents the roles played by the business partner within the business transaction.
Following partner functions exist in the standard process of Sales and Distribution
Partner Type Customer
Sold-to Party, Ship-to Party, Bill-to Party, Payer and Sold-to Party authorized to release against a contract. You can define the sold-to party authorized to release against a contract in the partner screen of a contract. This partner may only schedule orders with reference to this contract, even when he is not the sold-to party authorized against a contract.
Partner Type Contact Person
Contact persons are natural persons whom you must contact at the customers for business processing (e.g. purchasers) Contact person can be created directly in customer master record.
Partner Type Vendor
A forwarding agent is an example of a business partner on the credit side, who is included in a sales process. If you commission a particular forwarding agent for deliveries to a specific customer, you can define the forwarding agent in the customer master record as the partner.
The other possible partner functions on the credit side in the sale process are interpreters, auditors etc. The forwarding agent is an agent who performs transportation services. This includes organizing the shipment, delivery and receipt of the goods, arranging the carrier services and handling the customs issues.
Partner Type Personnel
Employee Responsible
Sales Personnel
You can enter an employee from your firm as the person responsible:
In the Customer Master If the employee is normally responsible for processing transactions with this customer.
In the Sales Document If the employee is responsible for processing the Business Transaction.
STEP WISE PROCESS FOR PARTNER DETERMINATION PROCEDURE
Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Partner Determination->set Up Partner Determination->Set up Partner Determination for Customer Master.
First go to OVT0 create customer account groups. Here you make new entries, click whether it is a one time customer, description. Also you can do the field selection here for general data, co. code data and sales area data.
Now go to IMG logistics general business partner customers control define & assign customer number ranges define the number. Here you range that you want and assign it to your customer account group.
Now go to VOPA here the selection will be on customer master, click on partner procedures, create the partner determination procedure. The following steps need to be done in partner determination area
Assign partner function to account group i.e SP,SH, BP, PY to account group (debit side ). Sales and Distribution->Basic Functions->Partner Determination->Assign Partner Functions on the debit side to account Groups.
Then create Partner Determination Procedure.
Assign the Partner Determination Procedure to Partner Function.
Then finally assign the Partner Determination Procedure to acc group.
Important Points in Business Partners and Partner Determination Procedure
Partner relationship maintained/defined in the customer master is proposed automatically in the document header when you create a sales document.
In customizing we can decide whether several partners can be assigned to one partner function in the customer master.
In sales documents, the system is configured so that only one partner can be assigned to each partner function.
We can define partners at item level in the sales documents.
Business Partners that are defined at the header level however cannot be changed at the item level.
You can prohibit anyone from changing a partner that has already been entered in a sales document.
It is also possible to manually change or enter the address of a partner, such as the Ship-to Party. This change does not affect the master record.

How do I configure my timecapsule to back up an external drive connected to macbook?

How do I configure my timecapsule to back up an external drive connected to macbook?

First, insure that the external drive has been formatted in Mac OS Extended Journaled
If it's not, and you already have data on the drive, you will need to move that data to another temporary storage location....as the format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) will erase everything on the drive. Once the drive has been formatted, move the data from the temporary storage location back to the external drive
Click the Time Machine clock icon at the top of the screen
Click Time Machine Preferences
Click Options
Click the name of the external drive to highlight it, and then click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the drive from the list of "excluded" items for backup
The drive will now be backed up by Time Machine on the next and all subsequent backups

Did you reboot the TC? That is always the first step.
Reboot the whole network if that is not enough.
If you still have issues.. come back to us but generally the best way is to factory reset the TC and start over.
We need a bit more info on the whole network layout and what OS you are running. What model TC you have??

'"Connection Failed" : The server "rrnas01" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again' message

'"Connection Failed" : The server "rrnas01" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again' message keeps displaying whenever I try to open any Adobe CS5 applications (except for Adobe Acrobat Pro). It displays until I click "OK" about 15-20 times or so and then will finally let my program open.
I have tried deleting files within my Library/Preferences folder and turning off/deleting login items within my system preferences as other forums suggested but nothing happened. Spending 3.5 hours on the phone with Adobe and completely uninstalling and then reinstalling the entire CS5 Master Collection didn't work either.
Also, it may be helpful to know that my programs worked fine for about three weeks then when we got internet and changed the password (the join, not the adminstrative password) with the wireless network "ScubaSteve" (which I've used with no problems at my old apartment) it started acting up. I have never seen "rrnas01" before so I don't know at all where it came from. I also installed the free 30 day trial of Suitcase Fusion 3 recently, but thinking that could also be the cause I have uninstalled it, and still no help.
Please help me! And please keep in mind I don't know all the computer lingo that a lot of the people in these forums seem to know. Thanks in advance for ny help you can give me.

It may not be possible .. there is a major bug between Mountain Lion and the TC where the TC disk goes off the radar of the computer.
Lion is also affected but not as badly.
7.6.4 seems worse than earlier firmware.. so back to 7.6.1 or 7.5.2 if that is possible.
Obviously that is not a solution for a later Gen5 TC.
Reset to factory after the firmware downgrade. .use all network names that are short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
If the TC is the main router set the dhcp to a very short lease time.. eg 30min.. and see how it goes, or try a longer lease like 99days.
I prefer the very short lease but response has been mixed.
Use ethernet not wireless.. ethernet is always more reliable and stable than wireless.
And last .. a nightly electric timer that powers off every night at midnight for 1min.. would not be the first device we have suggested a fix that amounts to beat the unit to the punch by forcing it to reboot since it is unstable.

What should the"default behavior" be for WiFi network connections?

I Have been able to at least temporarily fix the plethora of problems encountered after downloading Mountain Lion to my 2009 17" MBP just ten days ago. Thanks to the time and effort of so many posters that are much more savvy than me, I successfully executed the steps suggested in many of the posts and with good results. It surely beats running down to the Apple store and being told that I am the only one with a problem.
Okay, I've realized that I don't really know what the default behavior of the WiFi network connection should be?
Specifically:
Should the Wi-Fi drop down in Network always be" looking for networks", even though I am obviously on my Network?
Should the Wi-Fi be connected at all times even when your computer is in sleep mode- or deep sleep mode? There have been so many problems with Wi-Fi dropping off,slow or hanging loads, etc.
I unchecked "ask to join networks, in Network preferences thinking it might stop looking for networks when it doesn't need to because I'm already on mine. I do see my neighbors (four neighbors) in the drop down in Network.
How do you get into Time Capsule's settings, to check speeds, especially ping? What should the ideal settings be?
How do you know if your DHCP license is renewed? I've heard that feature isn't working and may be the culprit to some of the Wi-Fi problems.
I'll look forward to your help in understanding more about this. I've been in the support area a lot lately, I've read plenty of definitions, and explanations of the different options to choose from in Apple's support area, but nowhere have I seen anything that explains what the default behavior should be or perform like.
Thanks, as always.

Generally, you don't want to tweak the wifi settings. It pretty much takes care of itself. The caveat to that is, of course, if you're experiencing problems.
The 'looking for networks' behaviour only happens when you log in, wake the mac from sleep OR when you click on the wifi icon. You clicking on it tells the mac "I want to see what networks are available" - so it does a scan for you to check to see if any new networks have appeared since you last clicked on it (or woke/logged in). In short, if you don't want it to look for new networks, don't click on the icon!
Unchecking the 'ask to join networks' option only applies when your mac detects a new network (such as when it wakes) that you haven't already authorised; it'll ask you to confirm whether you want to join it or not. Otherwise, if the network is open it'll join automatically. You should keep this selected if you travel around with your Mac. It's a good idea to know what network you're on before you start plugging in passwords or typing other things into the mac.
There is a utility that you can use for ping and traceroute called 'Network Utility'. Click on the Spotlight icon in the top right of your screen and type "Network' and you should see it at the top of the list. Hit 'return' to open it.
DHCP licences are normally renewed automatically by your router every 24 hours. Again, there's no reason to be messing about with that unless you're experiencing problems.
If you're experiencing wifi dropout, let us know, and we'll make some suggestions, but if you're not, you're best leaving your mac to manage the background processes. It knows what it's doing!

This means that your Mac is not seeing your WinBox, either by IP address (a series of four sets of three numbers which might look something like this: 192.168.001.010) or by name (usually a SMB connection, which would look something like this: 'smb://winboxname' where 'winboxname' is the name of your WinBox).
Typically this means that you were connected by IP, and the target's IP address has changed.
when I try to access my Windows computer on my home network. I never had problems before...
You probably have DHCP enabled on your home net, and your WnBox's IP address has changed because its old lease expired. That kind of thing is why you should set up your net to either have fixed IP addresses or to reserve a specific IP for a specific machine, or you should use the smb name instead of the IP.
I don't understand why this message suddenly appeared keeping me from accessing the shared folder on my XP based computer.
See above. If you want to connect by IP address, you'll need to know the WinBox's IP. Go to your Start menu, select the 'Run' box, type 'cmd', hit Enter. You'll get the Windows terminal. In the terminal type 'ipconfig/all'. You'll see the IP address (and the MAC address, useful if you want to set up a reserved IP address). Ensure that the Mac is connecting to that IP. (enter 'smb://theIP' in the network connection box.)
If you want to connect by name, you'll need to know the WinBox's name. Right-click on 'my computer', select 'properties'. Click on the 'computer name' tab. There it is. Use 'smb://computername' in the network connection box.
Thanks

Are you using Yosemite??
This is stock standard yosemite bug and we have no simple fix for you..
You can fix it at its source..

Apple still have not fixed it.. and users are now sick and tired of the problem.. so have resorted to what can only be described as extreme measures.. in fact I wonder why people don't just revert to Mavericks.. or earlier.. whatever OS was reliable.. instead of seeing the latest greatest update as necessity.

How do I use my Time Capsule on an existing WIFI network?

Use an Ethernet cable to connect from one of the LAN <--> ports on your existing wireless router to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule and then use the setup "wizard" on your Mac to configure the Time Capsule.
It will suggest that you set up the Time Capsule to create a new wireless network. If you don't want or need another wireless network, you can turn off the wireless function of the Time Capsule and use it as wired hard drive only.
Leave the Ethernet cable connected at all times. If you need to locate the Time Capsule in a different area, you can put it anywhere that the Ethernet cable will reach up to about 330 feet or 100 meters.
The only exception to using an Ethernet cable would be if your existing wireless network is provided by another Apple router. Then.....you would have the option to have the Time Capsule connect using wireless and extend the network, although using a wired connection would still be the better way to go in terms of performance.

How to get the list of active devices in current wifi network?

Hi All,
I am going to a start a new Network based app. So please any one give me an idea on the below question.
How to get the list of active devices in current wifi network?

Nope I want the log-in user to retrieve its Group where he is belong. I have this following code
strUsername = Request.getParameter("username").toLowerCase().trim()+"@dev.test.com.ph";
strPassword = Request.getParameter("password").toLowerCase().trim();
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, INITCTX);
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, MY_HOST);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, "simple");
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,strUsername);
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, strPassword);
// enable tracing
env.put("com.sun.naming.ldap.trace.ber", System.err);
// Create the initial context
DirContext initCtx = new InitialDirContext(env);
// Get the target context
DirContext targetCtx = (DirContext)initCtx.lookup("");
SearchControls constraints = new SearchControls();
constraints.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE);
// Perform the search on the target context
NamingEnumeration enum = targetCtx.search("","(userPrincipalName="+strUsername+")",constraints);
javax.naming.directory.Attributes attrs;
NameClassPair item;
String[] attrIds = new String[]{"MemberOf"};
// For each answer found, get its "Groups" attribute
// If relative, resolve it relative to the target context
// If not relative, resolve it relative to the initial context
while (enum.hasMore()) {
item = (NameClassPair)enum.next();
Out.println(item);
attrs = targetCtx.getAttributes(item.getName(), attrIds);
Out.println(attrs + "<br>");
initCtx.close();
It returns all this string :
{memberof=memberOf: CN=CMCanadaRD,OU=Groups / Teams,DC=dev,DC=test,DC=com,DC=ph, CN=iMngrCanadaRW,OU=Groups / Teams,DC=dev,DC=test,DC=com,DC=ph, CN=Domain Users,CN=Users,DC=dev,DC=test,DC=com,DC=ph, CN=Backup Operators,CN=Builtin,DC=dev,DC=test,DC=com,DC=ph, CN=Administrators,CN=Builtin,DC=dev,DC=test,DC=com,DC=ph}
How can i retrieve the Group named CMCanadaRW and CMCanadaRD on the Attribute?
Thanks

How do I change my set up to allow my wife to connect to my iCloud accout too

You don't give a lot of information. Do you each have a separate device or Mac (or user account on the same Mac)? Do you each have your own separate iCloud accounts? If this is the case your wife can sign into your account in System Preferences (or Settings)>Mail Contacts and Calendars and check the data types she wants to sync. They will appear alongside her own iCloud data, though she will not be able to use Photo Stream with this account.
