How to get local and global hostnames working?

I have a new AirPort TimeCapsule, and I can't get the local hostname (appleair.local) to work from browsers on the local network. Is that how it's supposed to work?
The TC is in bridge mode because it's behind a Netgear WAP+router -- maybe that is a problem?
I had to set up a global hostname to get Bonjour working in order to share an old printer (attached to the TC) across the network, but my understanding is that I can't actually use a global hostname from a browser without setting up a dynamic DNS service. Is that right? I'd like to be able to share files and the printer on the TC without using Bonjour if possible.
Apart from the USB printer attached to the TC, there's an external flash drive attached to the Netgear router used for backups and as a media server.
I originally configured the TC with my iPhone and an iPad mini, but now I'm working on the advanced settings with a Windows laptop using the Apple AirPort Utility for Windows and connecting to the TC wirelessly. There's a MacBook and iMac that will be added to the network, but they're not available yet so that's why I'm using the PC.

The 5.6.1 utility for windows is really not up to handling the new AC version TC.. Apple specify that you must use a version 6 airport utility but none has been released for windows.
You will have to use bonjour for windows. but you should not need to use full domain name..
By default the TC is local domain. But if your computer is getting an IP from the Netgear it might be in a different domain. How much this matters I am not sure. But I would simply try to get everything on the one domain. I think you are confused anyway.

The TC has no html access.. never has had.. probably never will have.. for reasons known only the higher powers of Apple inc.. they do not use standard HTML access.. the only way to access the TC is via airport utility. So putting the ip or the name in a browser is useless.. it will not and cannot respond.
Sharing printers from the TC to windows is always going to be a mystery bag.. I would suggest you simply delete all your previous attempts and try again.. setting up printers via bonjour in windows.. shudder..

  • Get locals and globals using API

    Hi, I am making in LV an editor for TS. User should be able to change the value of file globals and locals variables. Using TS API, is possible to get all the file globals and locals variables without knowing the name that those variable have in TS? I mean, if I knew the name I could use the Get Property Value with the lookup string. But if the I do not know the name of the variable, can I get the list (and their values) of the variable?
    Thanks a lot.

  • How to get sound and notifications to work on iPod Touch 4th Generation. Version 6.1.2

    I would like to know how I can get the sound and notification on the screen when I'm using Facebook. When I go to settings and scroll down to Facebook, open the notifications under the logo, then go to notifications and open that I get this message that says, "Notification settings, including push notification settings, are locted inside the app. Open your bookmarks and tap Account Settings." Now I tried that and it didn't get me anywhere, unless I didn't go to the right thing, so if someone can help me figure this out asap, that would be very greatly appreciated.

    On your iPod tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page.
    Or you can do it on your computer's iTunes by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.

  • [SOLVED] Can't get ccache and colorgcc to work together

    Hi all,
    Has anyone figured out how to get ccache and colorgcc to work at the same time?  I can only get one or the other, but not both.
    If I put them both in the path, with colorgcc first, then "g++" invokes colorgcc, which then calls /usr/bin/g++, skipping ccache.
    If I put ccache first in the path instead, then running "g++" invokes ccache, which then calls /usr/bin/g++, skipping colorgcc for some reason.
    Putting colorgcc back to first in the path, then editing /etc/colorgcc/colorgccrc means I can set the compiler paths to point to ccache.  However then running "g++" invokes colorgcc, which calls ccache, but then ccache seems to call colorgcc again, which calls ccache, which calls colorgcc, etc, etc.
    Perhaps I'm missing something, but I can't see how you tell ccache where the compiler binaries are located, as this seems to be the problem - ccache autodetects them, and always seems to pick the ones I don't want!
    Any suggestions?
    Last edited by Malvineous (2011-05-03 01:29:48)

    Ha, ok, as usual as soon as I post in a forum I stumble across the answer.  Turns out there's a CCACHE_PATH environment variable you can use to tell ccache where to look for the real compilers.  It doesn't seem to work setting this to point to colorgcc, but putting only colorgcc in the path, editing /etc/colorgcc/colorgcc to point to ccache, then setting CCACHE_PATH=/usr/bin seems to do the trick...
    But if there's a better way please let me know!

  • How to report with local and global currency in Deliveries?

    Dear all,
    i am working on a delivery scenario where i have in the datasource NETWR(Net value
    ), WAERK (Document currency).
    I would like to be able to report with local currency and global currency.
    Could you please help by explaining how to proceed?
    Thank you.
    Cheers

    Hi Gilo,
    You have to check with the business on the following.
    1) What would be the key date of currency conversion? Is this any document date from the transaction ( Delivery Date ) or report execution date?
    2) What would be the target currency ? ( for local and Global currency ). Whether this can be determined at the time of loading or should it be based on user selection criteria?
    3) What is the exchange rate type that has to be used? ( for example 'M' ).
    Once you have the answers to these questions, you can decide whether to do the currency conversion in the backend or front end in the report during runtime.
    For example, if the user wants to input the target currency on selection variable and wants to use the exchage rate as of the report execution date, then this currency onversion has to be done at runtime.
    For more details,Please check help.sap.com or SDN
    Thanks,

    Hi Joerg22
    Thanks for your response.
    Can you please tell me ...is there any another ways to find the "input locale" value in java.
    There are 3 important locales in Windows: “Input Locale”, “User Locale” and “System Locale” and all 3 can be different.
    That is you can have System Locale = English, Input Locale = Chinese and User Locale = Japanese
    This might represent a Chinese user working in japan on an English PC.
    In this example i want to identify Input Locale means "Chinese "
    Thanks for your help.

  • How Adobe gets DATE and its format?

    Hello,
    I am getting current (todays) date by using below JS in some flds, and by using below FormCalc for some flds into my_form,
    JS:
    var currentTime = new Date()
    Form Calc:
    $.rawValue = num2date(date(), DateFmt(MM/DD/YYYY))
    But, i dont have much idea that how adobe is getting this date? For my company this is the very first form, hence they are asking me how adobe gets date and its format whether,
    1) From local IP/Interner provider address's date, format?
    2) or user PC/laptop's LOCAL settings date, format? if so, for example, if Germany user (Laptop settings) has a DD.MM.YYYY configured, if this user comes to US on a busines trip and if that user opens the form, then how the date looks like for this user? as per user laptop settings DD.MM.YYYY or local internat provider date format MM//DD//YYYY?
    Thank you

    Hi,
    the date() function returns the number of days since 01.01.1900 for the local date of the current system (related to the system clock of the OS).
    If you travel from Germany to the US but don't update your date/time settings, then it returns the same date in the US as in Germany.
    You can check the behavior by changing your local date/time setting or the timezones.
