How do I set DNS order when using a VPN?

Hi, to increase my data security when using local hotspots and WI-FI, I've set up a PPTP server on my home network and connect to it using my MBP OSX 10.5.4. So far, everything's fine.
But I found that the VPN connection will still try to resolve host names using the DNS of the underlying WLAN/UMTS connection. Which is bad for two reasons:
First, my local network at home *doesn't permit DNS* access other than the internal DNS. So, all connection attempts time out three times, keeping me waiting in the meantime until it proceeds to connect to my internal DNS.
Second, internal hosts are *not visible* when using external DNS. Obviously... so just adjusting the firewall and allowing external DNS isn't even a solution.
I've tried all kinds of settings, set my VPN as the default connection, manually added DNS settings to it or read about the inner workings of the resolv library of OSX. After a very easy initial setup, I'm stuck due to a tiny detail that keeps me from using the VPN. Is there anything I can do to actually use VPN in a proper way?

p.s.: I'm currently about to try IPsec, just wondering if there's any difference. Will keep you updated...

  • Why pop up is shown to ask for inputing sales order when using COR1

    I want to create a process order with order type PI01, but pop up window is shown to ask for sales order when using COR1.   I suppose there is something wrong with material master setting, but I've never set classification to this material.
    Please help.

    Hi Nichole
    Is the material assigned to any MRP group , if yes then check the  config settings on t-code OPPR, if stg group is assigned. also check the matrial type to default MRP group assignment settings in SPRO>production>mrp>MRPgroup> Define MRP Group for Each Material Type.

  • How can we get ADFSecurity work when used in OC4J, OID and OAM?

    I am getting error in http server log "mod_oc4j: Response status=499 and reason=Oracle SSO, but failed to get mod_osso global context."
    But I am not using Oracle SSO and my client doesn't want to use it either, I am using OAM SSO(CoreIDSSO) in my configuration. Please read the details below.
    I am using ADFSecurity in an app that is protected by OAM. To migrate ADFSecurity permissions from
    system-jazn-data.xml to OID, I used JAZNMigrationTool to populate OID with Grantees and Permissions. OAM gives login page, and authentication works fine.
    But ADFSecurity is not working. ADFComponent Delete button is enabled even for roles that dont have permissions for the iterator delete.
    - The app works fine when I use without OAM. ADF Security permissions work fine.
    - The app works fine when used with OAM, but with ADFSecurity disabled (enforce=false).
    - When I enforce ADFSecurity alongwith OAM, ADFSecurity is not working.
    In the doc "Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide b28957", there is a mention of use of CoreIDPrincipal for permissions. Our OID Permissions entries show
    LDAPRealmRole for attribute orcljaznprincipal. I am not sure if this could be the reason.
    We have configured AccessServerSDK for the SOA instance and have policy for the urls in the policy manager. We have entries in orion-application.xml, orion-web.xml and system-jazn-data.xml as per the documentations.
    How can we get ADFSecurity work when used with OID and OAM?

    Have you been able to successfully integrate OAS with OAM & OID? We have similar requriement and so far we have not been able to get it working.
    We have application specific roles which we map to OID roles using orion-application.xml.
    Any pointers to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks,
    Dipal

  • How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one?

    Based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308132?tstart=0 I decided to add each question seperately:
    Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too.
    This is the biggest question, where I mainly want a conclusive answer:  How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one of them, using the same photos for editing. I won't use DNG. Details: I mainly use my older MacBook Pro, but would like to be able to use my PC as it's way better (Specs: i5 2500K, 16GB RAM, SSD, USB3, nVidia GTX 560 TI etc.). I have 2 external HDs that I could use, one for Backup and one for the actual Photos/Edits. I'll probably need to use it as my internal HDs are quite full, and I can't just delete stuff or move it to an (Developer programs, Lossless music, etc.).
    Based on this, how do I back up the whole thing e.g. Photos folder (all photos and edits, and preferably presets too)?

    I believe it should be possible to work cross-platform without having to relink files each time, or without having to keep exporting/importing the catalog, by keeping the single catalog and the image library on the one external drive which is then switched between systems as needed.
    Obvious first requirement is an external drive that is formatted in such a way (e.g FAT32) that it can be used on both platforms in read/write mode. Given that, if the catalog AND the images parent folder are both established at the same level in one overall parent folder, then it should be possible to take advatage of Lightroom's ability to use relative paths rather than absolute paths to detect the images, no matter if the drive is named (Mac) or lettered (PC). This is how "export as Catalog" works, i.e. it creates a "package", aka a parent folder, containing the catalog and a replica of the exported images folder hierarchy alongside the catalog. Take that "package" to another system (same OS or not) and "it just works" even if the drive letter is different or the OS is different....because the relative path from catalog to images is still the same.
    I haven't tested this cross-platform (though I have between different PC systems with different drive letters) so for me it's still just a theory, but there may be others who have done this successfully.

  • How to block a sales order when there is a free good item .

    Hello Gurus ,
    How to block a sales order when there is a  free good item  , only the authorised person should have authorisation to release those blocked Sales orders.
    Reason - They want to have a track of free goods given to customer & to avoid the misusing things
    Looking  for your inputs
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Venkat

    Hi
    I think you can try with Status Profile in BS02 define and assign for item category TANN.
    In status profile you can block the delivery and also billing unless some changes the object status as released.
    Just try and explore

  • How do I close a JInternalFrame when using subclasses and a separate cla...

    The heading should be: How do I close a JInternalFrame when using subclasses and a separate class for the actionListener?
    I have just created a JInternalFrame appclication and now I want to structure up my code. I have a Superclass that contains the usual settings for the two JInternalFrame:s, and the two subclasses with frame specific information. Both the JInternalFrames use the same OK button. I want to have the actionListener outside the classes to avoid repetition of code. But the dispose()-function does not work properly, it does not close the opened JInternalFrame. What�s wrong?
    class Superclass extends JFrame
         JButton b= new JButton("ok");    
         Superclass()
    class Subclass1 extends Superclass
         Subclass1 ()
              add(ok);
           ok.addActionListener(new Listener());
    class Subclass2 extends Superclass
         Subclass2 ()
              add(ok);
           ok.addActionListener(new Listener());
    class Listener extends Superclass implements ActionListener
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                   dispose();
    }How do I controll in the Listener class that the button in Subclass1 is beeing pressed?

    First of all I think I misunderstood your question. You said you had two internal frames, so I thought you wanted to close the internal frame.
    It now looks to me like you want to close the entire JFrame, which makes the code even a little easier. Something like:
    JComponent component = (JComponent)event.getSource();
    JFrame frame = (JFrame)SwingUtilities.windowForComponent( component );
    frame.dispose();
    Ok, I will make a try:
    public static Container getAncestorOfClass(Class c, Component comp)
    w.getAncestorOfClass(w, this); Fiirst you need to learn the basics of reading the API.
    "getAncestorOfClass()" is a static method. That means you don't use a variable to invoke the method. You use the class itself.
    "w" is a variable, which is a JFrame, but that is not what the first parameter should be. The first parameter is a "Class".
    "this" will refer to your Listener class, but you need the Component that generated the ActionEvent.
    When I thought you wanted to close an internal frame then the code would have been something like:
    JComponent component = (JComponent)event.getSource();
    Container container = SwingUtilities.getAncesterOfClass( JInternalFrame.class, component );
    JInternalFrame internalFrame = (JInternalFrame)container;
    internalFrame.invokeSomeMethodHere();If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)", that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.

  • How can I customize the toolbar when using the attribute browser

    In CVI 2012, the toolbar changes depending on the environment, e.g. it is different for the source window and the UI editor. The toolbar can be customized using the menu Options / Toolbar...
    Unfortunately, when using the attribute browser of the UI editor, another toolbar is displayed, i.e. not the UI editor toolbar.... I would have assumed that the attribute browser belongs to the UI editor, obviously it doesn't... So how can I customize the toolbar when using the attribute browser?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Luis,
    It's nice to have you back 
    Thank you for the clarification, so I'll elaborate a bit more: In the regular workspace toolbar, I have a disk symbol to save the file. This symbol is gone in the attribute browser...
    So I have three different toolbars, for source code (workspace), UI editor, and the UI editor displayed but the attribute browser clicked on (selected)... 
    Thanks

  • Is there any way to stop the delay between different sets of speakers when using airport express?

    Is there any way to stop the delay between different sets of speakers when using airport express?

    Unfortunately, I don't have either a Slingbox or iHome speakers so I won't be able to reproduce any of the issues you are having. With the fact that you live in large apartment complex would still lead me to believe that Wi-Fi interference may be the reason that you are having streaming issues.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

  • How do I set the audience when I'm using Siri on my iPhone 5 to post to Facebook

    How do I set the audience privacy for when I’m using Siri on my iPhone 5 to post to Facebook?
    When I ask Siri to post a message to my Facebook Siri tells me what I have said and then asks tot post it, I then checked on my computer and the post is visible to "ME ONLY" I can change this on the computer and on my phone via the App but I do not want to be doing that all the time.
    If I post to Facebook via Siri on my iPhone 5 I want it at the default setting of friends only.
    So How do I change this?
    I posted the first one 2 minutes ago then went into Facebook via the App and changed it but did a second one hoping that the default privacy had changed but it was again to me only. As you can see via the padlock. Please help. Thanks

    What if you do need help or emergency situation while Posting FB via Siri is the fastest way to show you or someone is in danger, and he/she is dying because the post is Only visible to Me !?!?!?!???
    Anyone who uses FaceBook to get immediate help for life threatening emergency is mercifully removing themselves from the gene pool.

  • How can I set the order of search engines on my Macbook?

    When I use "Manage Search Engines" to rearrange the order of my search engines, the order changes temporarily, only to revert to the order the search engine add-ons were installed, the next time Firefox is restarted. How can I set the hierarchy of search engines to suit my preference, and have it stay that way?

    It may be your preferences problem.
    Try to Reset your firefox and try it newly
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
