How do I enable two wireless clients to communicate with each other?

I have a WRT54GL with the latest firmware. I have two computers which are both connected to the router, with IP addresses assigned via DHCP. Neither has a firewall running. I cannot get them to communicate with each other -- even ping doesn't work. I can ping the router itself using the IP address assigned to it on the WAN side by my ISP. Both computers have no problem reaching the internet through the router.
What settings on the router will enable the communication to occur? I can't find anything in the router's user interface which appears to control this.
Thanks.

Hi annie25,
I think it would be best to check on netgear or belkin technical forums how to make these two talk.

How can I have threads communicate with each other?

I'm working on a project that requires a group of classes communicating with each other. I decided on using a server and carrying out communication that way. However, my app only has communication between the client and server. I need the clients to be able to communicate with each other. Does anyone know how I can do this or point me to a good tutorial?

Sorry, here's a bone stock example of my server and client:
<SERVER>
package testserver;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
public class TestServer
static int portOpen;
public static void main(String[] args)
portOpen=4000;
try
ServerSocket portListener = new ServerSocket(portOpen);
TestServer userThreads = new TestServer();
while (1==1)
Socket userConnection=portListener.accept();
userThreads.new PortConnection(userConnection);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("The server encountered a serious error. Server shut down.");
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(0);
class PortConnection extends Thread
//Declare variables to handle connections.
Socket ourConnection;
BufferedReader serverInput;
PrintWriter serverOutput;
PortConnection(Socket userConnection)
try
ourConnection=userConnection;
serverInput=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(userConnection.getInputStream()));
serverOutput=new PrintWriter(userConnection.getOutputStream(),true);
start();
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("An error occurred when a user attempted a connection.");
public void run()
serverOutput.println("Welcome to the Server.");
try
serverOutput.close();
serverInput.close();
ourConnection.close();
catch (Exception e)
</SERVER>
<CLIENT>
package testclient;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.net.*;
public class TestClient {
static BufferedReader userInput;
static Socket quizServer;
static BufferedReader serverInput;
static PrintWriter serverOutput;
static String serverData;
public static void main(String[] args) {
userInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
try {
quizServer=new Socket("localhost",4000);
catch (Exception e) {}
try
serverInput=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(quizServer.getInputStream()));
serverOutput=new PrintWriter(quizServer.getOutputStream(),true);

Migration between two environments which can't communicate with each other

My customer is intending to do migration from test environment to production environment using CCM.
But the two environments are not in the same network.
The environments' setting is as blew.
BO TEST Repository can communicate with Web BO Server.
BO PRODUCTION Repository (Cluster environment) can communicate with Web BO Server.
BO TEST Repository and BO PRODUCTION Repository (Cluster environment) are in the different network, they can't communicate with each other.
Setting Target Repository manually in CCM.
Questions are:
1. In CCM, as long as both Source Repository and Target Repository can communicate with Web BO Server, the migration will be successful.
Is that right?
2. If 1 is not right, is there additional setting should I do?
For example, If I need to open some firewall port?
3. Is there other attentions should I notice?
Thanks

Yes that is correct
2. If 1 is not right, is there additional setting should I do?
For example, If I need to open some firewall port?
You have another option which is to use the BIAR files. Export your objects to a BIAR file in source environment, and import them from BIAR into the target environment
3. Is there other attentions should I notice?
when using BIAR files as solution, Make sure that you keep them < 1GB size to avoid corruption
you may have to increase or adjust timeouts on input and output repository servers as well

I have the iPhone and my own Apple ID. I would like the iPad to have my husbands Apple ID so we are able to communicate with each other (he is deaf). How can FaceTime and iMessage be set up to do this?

I have the iPhone and my own Apple ID. I would like the iPad to have my husbands Apple ID so we are able to communicate with each other (he is deaf). How can FaceTime and iMessage be set up to do this?

Log into each device with your own Apple ID's in Settings > iCloud.
Then, so you can share preiously purchased apps, log into both devices using the Apple ID used to make those purchases, but ONLY in Settings > iTunes and Apps Stores.
Verify that each device uses your own Apple IDs in Settings > Facetime and Settings > Messages.

Connecting two m-audio box's with each other?

Hi Everyone. I've got two M-Audio Solo box's. Is there any way i connect those two with each other so i can use both at the same time in GB?
Many thanks!!!

Just plug them in and create an aggregate device that consists of them. You can open Audio MIDI Setup utility and search its help for "Aggregate" to find out how, or if you want a step by step, here's a tut:

TS3367 Can more than two people chat on Facetime with each other at once?

Want to Facetime with my two friends. One has a mac and the other an iphone. I have an ipad. Can the three of us Facetime together? Thanks!

Only 1 to 1 communication is allowed on FaceTime.
I haven't tried, but you can take a look at this app.

Two cursor variable can match with each other

I have 2 cursor in one procedure
it is possible that cursor 1 variable do some calculation with cursor 2 variable.
for example cursor 1 is for inStock and cursor 2 for Out stock
Balance = Cursor1.inQTY - Cursor2.outQTY

Suppose
Cursor Cursor1 is
select Idate,Icode,IFcode,Iqty,IPrice from returnreport;
Cursor Cursor2 is
select Rdate,Rcode,Rfcode,Rqty,Rprice from TempRed;Cursor1 result is
IDATE      Icode Ifcode   Iqty        IPRICE        REDUNITS
28/06/2010   13    1     148375.7308 101.8004
30/08/2010   13    1     100284.0398 101.7111 Cursor2 Result is
Rdate       RCODE RFCODE    Rqty     Rprice
01/07/2010 13          1 2804.7464
31/08/2010 13          1 39315.8646

30/09/2010 13          1 11693.4219 I want to update Cursor 1 table's Column REDUNIT with Cursor 2.
go_block('returnreport');
first_record;
check here IQTY of RETURNREPORT
Loop
Cursor1.Iqty - Cursor2.Rqty
it is like a first in first out basis
check balance = Iqty - Rqty
Update Redunits = Balance
if balance = 0 then
go 2nd row
and update remaining balance in 2ns row.

Two PCs connected via TC can't seem to communicate w/ each other

I have two PCs running XP pro connected to a TC. The TC is also connected to a cable modem. Each PC has successfully obtained an IP address (10.0.1.2, 10.0.1.3). Each can retrieve web pages from the internet. However, they don't seem to be able to communicate with each other. I have re-run my network setup wizard on both PCs and created a home workgroup. When I try use My Network Places ... Home, I only see the local PC. If I ping the other address, the ping times out. I can ping the TC (10.0.1.1) however.
Any ideas as to why the two computers would not be able to communicate w/ each other but can communicate w/ the internet?

I just spoke with Apple Care. The support rep did some research and believes the problem is with settings on my computers. This network was working with a different router (and different private network addresses) before I swapped it out for the Time Capsule.
Anyone have any ideas what might be blocking network replies (or incoming packets) on the various XP computers?

How to make 2 clients on same VLAN communicate to each other when tunnel-loop-prevention is enabled?

Requirement:
How to make two clients on same VLAN communicate to each other when tunnel-loop-prevention is enabled on tunneled-node configuration at controller?
Whenever we enable tunnel-loop-prevention on controller while we configure tunneled-node, the communication between two tunneled-node client on same VLAN is blocked or dropped.
If the tunneled-node clients are of different VLANs then they can communicate between them even when the tunnel-loop-prevention is enabled on the controller.
Solution:
To make two tunneled-node client on same VLAN to communicate between them, we need to enable "local-proxy-arp" for the interface VLAN on the controller.
Once it is enabled now the tunneled-node clients on same VLAN can communicate between each other.
Configuration:
To enable "local-proxy-arp":
Get to the interface of the VLAN on the controller
Example :
(config)#interface vlan 5
(config)#ip local-proxy-arp
To enable tunnel loop prevention on controller
(config)# tunnel-loop-prevention
Verification
Show commands:
To check if tunnel-loop-prevention is enabled or disabled
#show tunneled-node config
Tunnelded node Server: Enabled
Tunnel Loop Prevention: Enabled
To check if local-proxy-ap is enabled:
#show interface vlan 5
Look for in the output "ProxyARP enable"

Unknown HostOK, I'm no socket programming expert; but I can see a few potential problems with what you've written.
1. First off, which line is line 88? Line numbers would be useful. Also, indenting your code properly would make it easier to read.
2. Your 'while(!str.equalsIgnoreCase("close"))' will always fail with a NullPointerException because 'str' is initially set to null.
3. Your 'while(true)' loop worries me. How does it exit? Relying on an exception is usually very bad practise.
4. You are not handling SecurityExceptions. While it's unlikely to happen on your machine; it could easily happen on another.
5. It might be worth indicating the actual exception thrown in your "Failed to accept client" message. accept() can throw three different types of IOException.
6. All the threads you create will be called "New THREAD", which doesn't provide much value.

Wireless Clients cannot communicate to eachother.

I have a 871W router that I am having trouble getting wireless clients to communicate.
I can ping and use applications from any wired client to any wireless device. However I am unable to ping or use any other protacol from one wireless device to another.
I have confirmed that there is no firewalls on the endpoints blocking communication.
I have removed ACLs on the BVI1 interface but that had no affect.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one? Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

Two different projects spliced together over each other some how?

Greetings everyone,
I thought forum users might be interested in this one. I don't use the forum often so I don't know the history but has anybody ever had two different projects spliced together over each other some how? For example, I was tweaking a project and left it alone for several months. I came back today to work on it and clips from other projects were in it some how. Also the audio from the new clips were in the new project and overriding the existing project. Does anybody know how to restore the two and make them separate them without losing any info. from either one? The thing's a mess. I had 1 video track w/ some subtitles, a voice over, and some music in the background. Now it has two video clips, and two of everything else. It's crazy. I don't think it's a virus or anything. Nothing else on my machine is acting strange. I hope nobody else has experienced this yet can help.
Peace

If you have a backup external drive and Time Machine, I would suggest the following:
Locate this specific clip in your Finder. Highlight it and rename it "old", or something similar.
Launch Time Machine.
Go back to a date in time when this clip was as you properly edited it.
Again, make sure Finder is still open and highlight the clip.
Click "restore" in Time Machine.
Open iMovie and you will see your project as you had it all those months ago.
This works for me when I have an iMovie project behaving badly.
iMovie is a great application: but just like us, it has good days and bad days.

Thanks again for you help. I finally got the music resting on my iPad moved into iTunes and then got the music resting on my iPod backed up in iTunes. Final step was to get the music on my iPad onto my iPod without loading the iPod music onto the iPad. I use my iPod strictly for music and don't want to clog my iPad with all those songs. Anyway, long process but it worked. Thanks again.

How do I Help Apple Care Stop Warring with Each Other and Fix the Problem with My iPhone that They Acknowledge Creating?

How Do I Help Apple US & Apple Europe Stop Warring With Each Other And Fix The Problem They Created?
PROBLEM
Apple will not replace, as promised, the iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) that they gave me in London, UK, with an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model).
BACKGROUND
My iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) was purchased this year in September on an existing Verizon Wireless (VZW) line using an upgrade. The purchase took place in California and the product was picked up using Apple Personal Pickup through the Cerritos Apple Retail Store. I will refer to this phone at my "original" phone.
The original phone was taken into the Apple Store Regent Street in London, England, UK on November 15, 2012. The reason for this visit was that my original phone's camera would not focus.
The Apple Store Regent Street verified there was a hardware problem but was unable to replace the part.
The Apple Store Regent Street had me call the US AppleCare. At first they denied support, but then a supervisor, name can be provided upon request, approved the replacement of my original phone with an iPhone 5 (A1429 GSM model) as a temporary solution until I got back in the US. And approved that the GSM model would be replaced with a CDMA model when I came back to the US. I will refer to the GSM model as the "replacement". They gave me the case number --------.
The Apple Store Regent Street gave me the replacement and took the original. The first replacement did not work for reasons I do not understand. They switched out the replacement several times until they got one that worked on the T-Mobile nano SIM card that I had purchased in England, UK. Please refer to the repair IDs below to track the progression of phones given to me at the Apple Store Regent Street:
Repair ID ----------- (Nov 15)
Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
Repair ID ----------- (Nov 16)
The following case number was either created in the UK or France between November 15 to November 24. Case number -----------
On November 19, 2012, I went to France and purchased an Orange nano SIM card. The phone would not activate like the first two repair IDs above.
On November 24, 2012, I went to the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps. The Genius told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. They had me call the AppleCare UK.
My issue was escalated to a tier 2 UK AppleCare agent. His contact information can be provided upon request. He gave me the case number -----------.
The UK tier 2 agent became upset when he heard that I was calling from France and that the France Apple Store or France AppleCare were not helping me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault.
The UK tier 2 agent said he was working with engineers to resolve my problem and would call me back the next day on November 25, 2012.
While at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, a Genius switched the phone given to from repair ID ----------- with a new one that worked with the French nano SIM card.
Also, while at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps, I initiated a call with AppleCare US to get assistance because it seems that AppleCare UK was more upset that France was not addressing the issue rather than helping me. I have email correspondance with the AppleCare US representative.
A Genius at the Apple Store Les Quatre Temps switched the replacement with a new GSM model that worked on the French SIM card but would not work if restored, received a software update, or had the SIM card changed. This is the same temporary solution I received from the Apple Store Regent Street in the UK.
By this point, I had spent between 12-14 hours in Apple Store or on the phone with an AppleCare representative.
Upon arriving in the US, I went to my local Apple Store Brea Mall to have the replacement switched with a CDMA model. They could not support me. He told me that my CDMA phone should not have been replaced with a GSM model in the UK and that this was clearly Apple's fault. My instructions were to call AppleCare US again.
My call with AppleCare US was escalated to a Senior Advisor, name can be provided upon request, and they gave me the case number -----------. After being on the phone with him for over an hour, his instructions were to call the Apple Store Regent Street and tell them to review my latest notes. They were to process a refund for a full retail priced iPhone 5 64BG black onto my credit card so that I could use that money to buy a new iPhone 5 64GB black at the Apple Store Brea Mall to reoslve the problem.
The Apple Store Regent Street did not process my refund. He, name can be provided upon request, told me that the AppleCare US did not do a good job reviewing my case, that they were incapable of getting to the bottom of it like they were, and instructed me to call AppleCare US and tell them to review this case number and this repair id. I asked if he read the notes from the AppleCare US Senior Advisor and he would not confirm nor deny. When I offered to give him the case number he accepted but it seemed like would do no good. Our call was disconnected. When I tried calling back the stores automated system was turned on and I could not get back through.
Now I have the full retail price of an iPhone 5 64GB black CDMA on my credit card and Apple will not process the refund as they said they would.
I've, at this point, spent between 14-16 hours at Apple Stores or on the phone with AppleCare representatives, and still do not have the problem resolved.
SOLUTION
AppleCare US and AppleCare Europe need to resolve their internal family issues without further impacting their customers.
Apple is to process a refund to my credit card for the cost of a full retail priced iPhone 5 64GB black.
DESIRED OUTCOMES
I have an iPhone 5 (A1429 CDMA model) that works in the US on VZW as it did before I received the replacement phone in the UK.
Apple covers the cost of the solution because I did not create the problem.
Apple resolves their internal issue without costing me more time, energy, or money.
This becomes a case study for AppleCare so that future customers are not impacted like I have been by their support system.
Does anyone have recommendations for me?
Thank you!

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

For WRT1900AC, how do the 4 antennae work with each other?

I am curious how the 4 antennae work with each other. Does a wifi client need to communicate with all 4 antennae? Or just 1 (or 2)? I am curious, as I would like to move 1 or 2 of the antennae via proper cable to expand the coverage area.

spec on that cable is 10.8dB per 100 feet. I would think that the router would still have a problem with that. Not sure how long the OP was going to make it but with the beaming technology i would think it would throw it off balance.
My maximum is 60ft when using LMR400 for standard wireless applications. I have done that many many times.
These days they typically integrate the higher gain antenna right into the bridge housing or mount the outdoor bridge right next to the antenna.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

How do I enable two wireless clients to communicate with each other?
