How to open the proper port for your xbox 360 on a NVG589 router for optimal online gaming

This took me a while to figure out on my own, so hopefully this will save someone else the trouble. My Xbox 360 said my setting were moderate. Step 1: In your internet browser, type this http://192.168.1.254 into your address bar Step 2: Click on the tab at the top that says Firewall Step 3: Click on the sub tab that says NAT/Gaming Step 4: In the drop down box located under the heading "Application Hosting Entry" Scroll down the option that says "XBox Live 360" and select it Step 5: In the second drop down box under the same heading find your Xbox 360's ip address and select it. If you don't know you Xbox's ip address it can be found on your console Network settings, select your connection, then select configure network, under basic setting will your ip address, remember that, Step 6: Click Add Step 7: Restart Xbox, everything should be running smoothly online Step 8: Profit!

How to open the comm ports?

Hi,
im using javacomm to detect my comm ports.i have two serial
and a parallel port (com1,com2 and LPT1) but it found no ports and throws
as follows,
found: javax.comm.CommPortEnumerator@e83912
found: 0 open ports
i placed .properties file in ..\jdk1.5.0\jre\lib
comm jar file in ..\jdk1.5.0\jre\lib\ext
and WIN32COM.DLL in ..jre\bin
am i doing right?
Here is the code,
import javax.comm.CommPortIdentifier;
import javax.comm.SerialPort;
import javax.comm.PortInUseException;
import java.util.Enumeration;
import java.util.Vector;
public class TestEnumeration {
public static void main(String args[]) {
Vector portslist = TestEnumeration.getAvailableSerialPorts();
System.out.println("found: "+portslist.size()+" open ports");
public static Vector getAvailableSerialPorts() {
CommPortIdentifier pId=null;
SerialPort sPort=null;
Enumeration pList=null;
boolean foundport=false;
pList = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
String port=null;
Vector ports=new Vector();
if(!pList.hasMoreElements()) {
System.out.println("found: "+pList);
return ports;
while (pList.hasMoreElements()) {
pId = (CommPortIdentifier) pList.nextElement();
if (pId.getPortType() == CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL) {
foundport=true;
try {
sPort = (SerialPort)pId.open("serialport", 1000);
} catch (PortInUseException e) {
foundport=false;
System.out.println(pId.getName()+ " is closed");
} finally {
if(sPort!=null) {
try { sPort.close(); } catch(Exception e) {}
if(foundport) {
ports.add(pId.getName());
System.out.println(pId.getName()+ " is open");
return ports;
please help me on how to open the comm ports..

Try this, It workd for me. Before doing this make sure you have serial ports on you r computer by following these steps:
open "regedit"
go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" > HARDWARE > DEVICEMAP
and check if there is any serial ports. If htere is any, then use following program to enumerate throught the ports:
class SimpleRead() {
portList = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
     while (portList.hasMoreElements()) {
     portId = (CommPortIdentifier) portList.nextElement();
     if (portId.getPortType() == CommPortIdentifier.PORT_SERIAL) {
          if (portId.getName().equals(defaultPort)) {
          System.out.println("Found port: "+defaultPort);
          portFound = true;
          SimpleRead reader = new SimpleRead();
     if (!portFound) {
     System.out.println("port " + defaultPort + " not found.");
}

How do I reserve an IP address for my XBOX 360 based on it's MAC settings??

How do I reserve an IP address for my XBOX 360 based on it’s MAC settings??
I went to Airport utility and went to DHCP tab under Internet. I have my wired MAC address from my Xbox 360, now where do I type it in?
Apparently this gives a more permanent IP to the 360 console, enabling me to get on Xbox Live.
Please clarify exactly how to reserve an IP address for my 360 based on its MAC settings.
Thanks

Hello kaseychatila. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
How do I reserve an IP address for my XBOX 360 based on it’s MAC settings??
Here is how to reserve a DHCP-IP address for your Xbox 360 using the AirPort Utility.
Make sure you are connected (by wire or wirelessly) to the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS), and then, open the AirPort Utility. Select the AEBS, and then, select Manual Setup.
Internet > DHCP tab
o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device, like Xbox 360>
o Reserve address by: MAC Address
o Click Continue.
o MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the XBox 360>
o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address that you want the XBox 360 to get from the AEBS>
o Click Done.

How do I open the same ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station for multiple computers at the same time?

As the title suggests...
I have a mix of five Mac and PC's at home using an Airport Extreme Base Station as the router.   I need many ports opened on the AEBS for all of the computers- not just one computer. (for example: three people want to play TF2 on Steam at the same time; each machine needs the correct ports open on the router).   Port forwarding only allows me to forward a given port to a single IP, yet I need that port open for five differnt IP's, all at the same time.
How do I do that on an AEBS?
In the same way, I have a small office of four iMacs using an old airport with the same exact issue.   I would like to be able to connect to all of them remotely with Apple Remote Desktop, but the port forwarding on the airport only allows a port to forward to a single IP.   I want to be able to tunnel into the office network and log onto any machine behind the Airport extreme... not just a single IP.    I currently have it set up where I can tunnel into the office from my house, I can find the one machine that the port forwarding has been assigned to, I can log on and everything is just fine... with one machine.    How do I open the firewall for the other machines?
TL,DR version: How do you open ports on an Airport Extreme Base Station instead of forwarding ports?   Forwarding ports doesn't work for multiple IP's.

You can open a single or multiple ports to a single device or different ports to different devices, but you cannot open the same port to multiple devices via the AirPort Utility for the Apple routers.

I'm on a website that usually when you click on the open chat(popup) link it opens a certain now, but now they are opening maximized all the time. How do I get them to open the proper size?

It was opening the proper size and now it doesn't

Works normally for me. The script that runs when you click the link will check to see if it already opened a window and try to switch to it, but if you are starting from scratch, this shouldn't be an issue.
There probably are quite a few add-ons that affect popup window behavior. To see whether an add-on could be responsible, you could test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, close Firefox, hold the Shift key, then restart Firefox. You will get a [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode dialog]. Just click "Continue in Safe Mode" and do not "reset" anything just yet.
If the window displays at the specified size in Safe Mode, one of your other add-ons (especially in the Extensions category) may be overriding it.

Hi can any body please tell me how to open the .exe files in mac and why it is not supported with unarchiever app , also i am not able to run and dvd's in my mac its not accepting any cd's or dvd'd why do i need to do some settings for it ?

A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

How to set the debug port for Eclipse for OracleAS 10g Enterprise

Hello All,
I am using OracleAS 10g Enterprise, and using dcmctl to startup the server.
But i do not know how to set the debug port in the startup script for debugging with Eclipse.
I have tried to add the following options to the dcmctl.bat, but still failed:
-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=4000
i.e in the dcmctl.bat script:
set jvmargs=-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=y,address=4000
set ex=%ohome%\jdk\bin\java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true %jvmargs%
Do anyone know how to configure the debug port setting?
Thank you for your great help!.

Hi, have you double checked that your oc4j is started with Sun's JVM or any other JVM that recognizes the kind of remote debug option as above? You can find the JVM used by oc4j in the ORACL_HOME/opmn/conf/opmn.xml.
To double check that your oc4j is started in debug mode, you can test with another remote debugger. Say, with the jdb in sun's jdk jdb -connect com.sun.jdi.SocketAttach:hostname=yourHost,port=4000 (Personally, I also use Jdeveloper or Jswat to double check.) If you can connect with jdb, then you have to check your Eclipse. Can its remote debugger connect to any java application at all?

I use chrome on my iPad Air. When I open the ipad it often flashes a page that I had viewed for a second or two and then it is gone. How can I prevent this?

I use chrome on my iPad Air. When I open the ipad it often flashes a page that I had viewed for a second or two and then it is gone. How can I prevent this?

I don't know if you can prevent it at all. The same ting happens to me in other apps - not just web browsers. I realize that since it's a web browser, there might be something that you don't want someone else to see if they use your iPad, so If it bothers you that much, close Chrome when you are done with it.
Double tap the home button to bring put the multitasking display. Find the Chrome app preview window and drag it up off the screen to close it.

Could any one help how to open the application without port number in servl

Could any one help how to open the application without port number in servlets or jsp?

Well, configure the application server/web container to listen to the default http port of 80, rather than 8080.
I couldnt get where to specify 80 instead of 8080 so that it opens without numbers

How to open the Data Perspective function of Smart View in EAS?

How to open the Data Perspective function of Smart View in EAS?
I use my Smart View to connect one ASO cube, and I found the button of Data Perspective is grey. It's not available.
In Smart View Users' Guide, it says:
Note: Data perspective may not be enabled in your Smart View system. Your options for data perspective are enabled and configured by the administrator in Oracle Essbase Administration Services.
But I could not find how to configure the this option in EAS.
Does anyone know about this?

I have already turned on the varying attributes function, but the data perspective button is still grey, not available.

How to open the second VM in Oracle 11gR2 2-nodes RAC system ?

Folks,
Hello. I have been installing Oracle Database 11gR2 RAC system using 2 nodes that are 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2) on the top of VMPLayer 3.
I follow the tutorial http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2011/10/11gr2-rac-on-linux-56-using-vmware.html to do.
The original Virtual Machine rac1 has run correctly. I configure rac1 network (eth0 and eth1) by opening VM rac1 and using command "[root@rac1\] #neat" as root user to invoke the network configuration.
For the second Virtual Machine rac2, I simply copy all files in "C:\VM\rac1" into "C:\VM\rac2". Then I have done the following:
1) In the directory "C:\VM\rac2", rename "rac1.vmx" to "rac2.vmx".
2) Change display name from "rac1" to "rac2" in the file "rac2.vmx".
The next thing to do for rac2 is to open the Virtual Machine rac2 and configure its network (eth0 and eth1) by using the command "[root@rac2\]#neat" as root user.
But by this step, I don't understand how to open the Virtual Machine rac2 so that can configure its network (eth0 and eth1).
Can any folk tell me how to open the VM rac2 to configure its network by this step ?

Hi,
But by this step, I don't understand how to open the Virtual Machine rac2 so that can configure its network (eth0 and eth1)."rac2" is a new virtual machine after you copied and changed the display name and you need to add this in the vmware enventory (I am talking about vmware server and vmware player should have the same way as it is supposed to run multiple vritual machines on your PC). Then it will be visible it to you. Now start this new machine and edit the network configuration.

How to open the mobile gallery?

Hi everybody,
I'm doing a project in j2me. In which i need to open the mobile phone gallery and select the file to upload to the server.
Please help me how to open the mobile phone gallery.
is it possible to open by using fileconnection?
Gallery should include the memory card also.
thanks in advance..
Regards,
Ramesh.P

Yep,you have to look at JSR 75 (File Connection API). But:
1) You need to understand is your phone model supports JSR 75
// if prop==null, then this phone doesn't support JSR-75, otherwise you'll get File Connection API version
String prop=System.getProperty("microedition.io.file.FileConnection.version");2) You need to exactly locate on phone file system where is image gallery and/or memory card
// get image gallery full url
String imageGalleryURL=System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.photos");
String memCardURL=System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.memorycard");After all of that file opening is easy...

How to close the COM Port ??????????

Dear all :
I have written an application that send AT commands to a modem , Once I opened a com port , i don't know how to close it . I got the null pointer exception when i create a new channel , because the inputStream and outputStream is owned by the previous channel . So , some one can teach me how to close the com port that opened before ?
my source code for open port :
public void Connect_Com(CommPortIdentifier portId) {
Integer i = new Integer((int) (Math.random()* 1000));
String channel = "channel" + i.toString();
System.out.println(channel);
try {
System.out.println("preparing to open port");
serialPort = (SerialPort) portId.open(channel, 2000);
} catch (PortInUseException e) {}
try {
inputStream = serialPort.getInputStream();
System.out.println("getting inputStream");
} catch (IOException e) {}
try {
serialPort.addEventListener(this);
} catch (TooManyListenersException e) {}
serialPort.notifyOnDataAvailable(true);
try {
serialPort.setSerialPortParams(9600,
SerialPort.DATABITS_8,
SerialPort.STOPBITS_1,
SerialPort.PARITY_NONE);
} catch (UnsupportedCommOperationException e) {}

serialPort.close() ?
From the documentation of SerialPort:
- SerialPort extends CommPort.
- CommPort.close() closes the communications port.
