How to use 10.9.8.y/24 network?

I just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station, new model and upgraded to the latest software and firmware. I've had a home network for many years, through many routers, and have always used the 10.9.8.x/24 network. The new Airport is set up and working but unfortunately it doesn't want to let me tell it to live in the above network and hand out DHCP addresses in same. In the Airport Utility Internet/DHCP tab it allows me to choose between 192.168.x.y, 172.16.x.y, and 10.0.x.y. But I need 10.9.x.y. This is perfectly legal - according to one of many Google hits I just looked at:
Q. What are private IP addresses?
A. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets (local networks):
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255
So why won't it let me at 10.9.x.y and is there a workaround? I really don't want to have to move my network IP range - there are a lot of static IPs involved, host files, services, mappings, etc.

Interesting idea. I can't try it now because I had to swap out the AXBS in order to get some work done since this is a showstopper. I may get another window tomorrow. I do seem to recall that the IP-address-setting page shows "10.0" as clear text followed by the 3rd octet as a dropdown and the 4th as a text box. So I don't think the GUI has a way of modifying the 2nd octet at all. If there was some way to telnet or ssh in to it I suspect some file could be modified but that may be the only hope. I just wish I knew why this artificial limitation exists. Maybe it's their way of making sure nobody ever tries to manage an IP space larger than 2**16 (which I don't want to do, I want a regular /24 space starting with 10.9.8).

  • How to use AirPort Express over a dorm network

    Hi,
    I used my AirPort Express at home to add wireless to my existing home network and it worked well.
    However, I can't get it to work here so I'll give you every detail possible in order for you to explain me how to configure it. A million thanks in advance. (I'm giving you the specific address just to illustrate it better)
    I can only use one IP address on the network which is 192.168.1.25
    The subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
    The default getaway is 192.168.1.1
    The preferred DNS is: 195.235.113.3
    The alternate DNS is: 80.58.32.97
    Do I have to put the AirPort Express IP address as 192.168.1.25? And can I use any range of DHCP IP addresses or I must use 192.168.1.x?
    Thanks for helping me guys

    You need to use NAT in order to share the single IP address.
    If you had two (one for the AX and one for your computer) then you wouldn't need to use NAT.
    On the Internet Tab use the following.
    Connect using Ethernet
    Configure Manually
    IP address 192.168.1.25
    Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
    Router Address 192.168.1.1
    DNS 195.235.113.3
    80.58.32.97
    On the Network Tab
    Check Distribute IP addresses
    Share a single IP address using DHCP and NAT
    I would use 10.0.1.x addressing
    On the Airport Tab
    Change Wireless Security
    Use WPA
    Use a password like this
    45fs6ue6v1d5fg7d55dsg555
    You may need to add the DNS addresses to the clients in order to access the internet.
    This may not work, and I would in fact advise talking to your campus network people instead.

  • How to use TC as backup in fiber network?

    I've just got a new fiber network installed at home and I'll use the wireless functionality. And to that I would like to connect my TC. I do not want the TC as a base station only for backup and as a hub for my printer. How do I do?

    Just bridge the TC and plug it into your main router.
    You can also turn off the wireless although there is nothing wrong with using the wireless as it is probably faster for backups to connect directly to the TC.

  • How to use the Ip4s with another carrier network?

    Hi,
    I bought an IP4S from Walmart without contract (original price). Can I use the Tmobile on it? If not, how can I do?
    Thanks,

    Yes, but it requires actions that will void your warrenty and presumably can't be explained here. Google it, lots of answers there...

  • HT4515 how to use face time on 3 G network

    How do I use the Face time option?  What if I'm on the 3 G network and away from home and the other person is either on the same thing or at home with a wireless network at home?

    Yep, on Sept 19th iOS 6 will bring FaceTime to Cellular networks if your carrier supports it.
    Here in the United States, it looks like AT&T is the only carrier that is actually charging you more to use it, you'd have to get one of their new mobile share plans to use FaceTime over Cellular.
    Keep in mind it does use your data plan if you're on 3G so it could eat through some of that data limit pretty quickly.

  • How to use AirPlay on a 802.1x network

    I'm trying to connect an AppleTV 3 to an 802.1x network, but I failed to use Airplay: no Airplay buttons appear on proper apps on my iPad 2. Only if I join a commercial ADSL network, anything works well, but this solution is not applicable to my aims (using Keynote from iPads to our interactive whiteboards).
    May I install a profile configuration (link) to my AppleTV? This would solve all my problems... I tried, unsuccesully .
    You can find a description of the network I tried to join here (in Italian).
    I don't need to play any movie downloaded from iTunes, so I shouldn't need any Internet connection, should I? The captive portal described in the link above in necessary only for Internet, not to join the internal network.
    I'm available for any further explanation and I hope to have been clear...

    Thanks Daniel,
    I'll try the suggestion asap!

  • How to use Lr and Ps on a networked storage media?

    I am using Photoshop & Lr3 in my daily work.  I have been for a long time desperately looking for a way to store and work on my images on a network environment, and could not find any!!!!
    I need to be able to color correct the images on Lr and do the design on Photoshop and then print the images back from Lr.
    Please I need your help.
    PS: I not the only user on the LAN.
    Thanks

    There is nothing to stop you using files on a network in either LR or PS. In the case of LR the catalogue can't be on a networked drive, it must be on a drive physically connected to the machine, however the files can be on a networked location. Just import them from the network location, using ADD as you would any other files.

  • How to use Integrated 10/100 Base-T networking interface

    I am new to Solaris, in fact I just installed it. I assumed that I would be able to connect to the internet immediately, but that isn't the case. I have an HP a1610n media center pc, and it comes with an Integrated 10/100 Base-T networking interface. Do I need to install a driver to use this network interface?

    Can Solaris 'see' your device? this tool wil let you know. [Sun Device Detection Tool 2.1      |http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.jsp]
    If it doesn't see the controller, there are links on the device detection tool page that should help you find a driver - if one's available - for your NIC.

  • How to use iChat on the same home network?

    If two people have iChat on their laptops and happen to be in the same house on the same router, do you need to set up some sort of account to use iChat to see and talk to each other or can they do it with whatever is already on their macs?
    If they do need some sort of third party account, what's the easiest method to use?

    Hi,
    You do not "Need" any other Screen Name or other utility or app.
    The Start Up Screens if you have not done that bit yet will prompt you for an AIM or Apple ID (Screen Name) in the Second Screen. It will also prefill your Name from the Address Book Info held at the My Card.
    You can click through this Screen. The Next will ask you about setting up Jabber/Googletalk but you can click through that as well.
    There is a Screen that allows you to Enable Bonjour as well. Tick the Box as this is what you will be using.
    There follows a Video preview and the option to take a Pic as your Buddy pic.
    Then a Screen with the Done Button.
    This should then open iChat proper with just one Buddy List titled Bonjour.
    It will use your name as in the Address Book as your Buddy name (this is what the other computers will see.
    Alternatively you can click through all the start Up Screens then go the the iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts and Enable the Bonjour listing in the Account Info tab > "Enable Bonjour" tick box
    Double Clicking a Buddy's Line in the Buddy list will start a Text Chat
    If they are showing a Camera icon, double clicking the icon will start a Video chat.
    There are variations using the icons at the bottom of the Buddy List or the Buddies menu (even Right Clicking on a Buddy)

  • How to use Filechooser to look at a network

    The Filechooser class in Swing does not seem to let me look at anything except local drives on my machine. Is it capable of viewing other machines on a network? Or is it limited to the local machine it is being implemented on?

    JFileChooser to browse Windows Network Neighbourhood
    You cannot do this directly. You will have to create a custom FileSystemView that is linked to the Windows internals through JNI.
    To create a custom FileSystemView, you might learn something out of the following link:

  • Can't figure out how to use home sharing

    Since the latest couple iTunes updates, my family and I can not figure out how to use home sharing. Everyone in our household has their own iTunes, and for a long time we would just share our music through home sharing. But with the updates, so much has changed that we can no longer figure out how to use it.
    I have a lot of purchased albums on another laptop in the house, that im trying to move it all over to my own iTunes, and I have spent a long time searching the internet, and everything. And I just can't figure out how to do it. So.... how does it work now? I would really like to get these albums from my moms iTunes, onto mine. I would hate to have to buy them all over again.
    If anyone is able to help me out here, that would be great! Thanks!

    The problem im having is that after I am in another library through home sharing, I can't figure out how to select an album and import it to my library. They used to have it set up so that you just highlight all of the songs you want, and then all you had to do was click import. Now I don't even see an import button, or anything else like it. So im lost... I don't know if it's something im doing wrong, or if our home sharing system just isn't working properly.
    Thanks for the help.

  • How to use the same POWL query for multiple users

    Hello,
    I have defined a POWL query which executes properly. But if I map the same POWL query to 2 portal users and the 2 portal users try to access the same page simultaneously then it gives an error message to one of the users that
    "Query 'ABC' is already open in another session."
    where 'ABC' is the query name.
    Can you please tell me how to use the same POWL query for multiple users ?
    A fast reply would be highly appreciated.

    Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded.  In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents.  Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size.  Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path.  It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

  • How to use airport time capsule with multiple computers?

    I'm sure there are some thread about this but i couldn't find it... so sorry for that but hear me out! =)
    I bought the AirPort Time Capsule to back up my MBP
    And so i did.
    then i thought "let give this one a fresh start" so i erased all of it with the disk utility and re-installed the MBP from the recovery disk.
    I dont want all of the stuff i backed up just a few files and some pictures so i brought that back.. so far so good.
    Now i want to do a new back up of my MBP so i open time machine settings, pick the drive on the time capsule and then "Choose" i wait for the beck up to begin, and then it fails.  It says (sorry for my bad english, im swedish haha) "the mount /Volume/Data-1/StiflersMBP.sparsebundle is already in use for back up.
    this is what i want:
    i want the "StiflersMBP.sparsebundle" to just be so i can get some stuf when i need them. it's never to be erased.
    i want to make a new back up of my MBP as if it's a second computer...
    so guys and girls, what is the easiest and best solution?
    Best regards!

    TM does not work like that.
    If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
    Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
    Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Works.html
    Use a clone or different software for a permanent backup.
