I want to disable the DHCP server on HH3 and use l...

Hi, i live in a flat with 5 other people so i have my HH3 connected to a linksys wrt5gl so that i can use the QoS capbilities of the linksys (tomato firmware). The linksys router can also limit bandwidth per ip address IF its also the DHCP server. When i disable the DHCP on the HH3 and enable it on the linksys the internet no longer works on any of the PC's, but if i have the DHCP on the hh3 i cannot limit bandwidth per ip on the linksys.
In the flat before this i managed to set this up fine (wasnt with the HH3- some other router) just need some advice on how to disable DHCP on the HH3 and enable it on the linksys wrt5gl whilst still being able to connect to the net.
Here is how its set up atm:
Phone line>>>HH3 (assighns IP through DHCP)>>>Linksys (data goes through QoS)>>>PC's/laptops/consoles in flat
Here is how i want it set up:
Phone line>>>HH3 (Acts as a modem)>>>Linksys (assighns IP through DHCP to allow bandwidth limiting /data goes through QoS)>>>PC's/laptops/consoles in flat
thanks in advance, sorry if this is hard to understand- im not so good at putting the problem into words
Solved!

Hi,
Don't know to be honest......but as an idea....you will have to disable DHCP server on the hub, apply a static ip to the Linksys, 192.168.1.100. You'll then need to set up DHCP on the Linksys....start ip 192.168.1.64 end 192.168.1.253, you'll need to add a subnet 255.255.255.0, then the gateway.....192.168.1.254 that's the ip address of the HH and that could be the real problem as normally the default gateway for DHCP on routers is the routers ip address.
So the chandes of it working are slim.....however you dont have to use your HH on your BT broadband you can use another make/model.
One option to use with that router is a Draytek 120 ADSL modem, which does PPOA to PPOE.

WRT54GC - Does the DHCP Server really work?

Hi everyone,
Im new to this forum so i dont know if this problem has been discussed before and is there any solution to it.
I own a WRT54GC since January 2007 and have had no problems since then, but recently I found out some issues about the DHCP server on this unit:
This is what i have on the network for you guys to understand my network setup:
Cogeco Cable Modem for the internet (Im located in Canada), Linksys WRT54GC router, One Trendnet File/Print Server for my USB all in one Lexmark printer, and external hard drive, and an Acer laptop.
The network works perfectly (wireless internet, wired internet, printing, file transfer) except for the following DHCP issue:
DHCP server does not update the IP address of my laptop even if in the router settings i assign 5 mins or any minuites to the lease time of the IP address and I keep my laptop on and connected to the router either wireless or wired.
The router has been enabled for DHCP and can assign the IP address automatically to my laptop upon powerup. I also have allocated 6 users for DHCP and starting IP at 192.168.1.101 which means that the range is from 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.106
When I check who's connected to the network, I see that my lap is connected to it and the expiry of the lease time is given. I can also see that if the lease time is set to 5mins then it down counts until zero and it defaults to some wiered number after the time is over and doesnt change the IP address of my laptop. Looks like a bug in the DHCP server software. The above was tried when using the wireless connection.
When I connected the laptop using the ethernet cable to the router (wired connection) a somewhat similar behaviour but instead if I set a lease time of 5mins or any other mins, the server does not recognize this and defaults it to a lease time of a day (similar to setting 0).
I have configured my laptop for DHCP so I dont think there is anything wrong with my laptop but I do feel that the DHCP server on this WRT54GC is working abnormally.
Any suggestions?......Try it out first and see if you have the same problem.
If you dont than i will be glad if you could tell me how you were able to make it work!
Cheers.

Thanks for your reply. Im not looking forward to change my IP address every 5 mins. My question is more related the functional behaviour of the DHCP server. With all the proper settings (and I belive I have done the settings correctly), the DHCP server should update the IP addresses of any computer on the network after the lease period ends and provided the computer was on for the time the lease period is valid and not shut off. Even if I use the default lease setting of a day, it still does not change the IP address if I keep my laptop on for more than a day or so. I feel that the DHCP server is not functioning as it should. I dont really need to change my IP address and Im happy if it doesnt change, but I came across the abnormal behaviour when I was going through the setup. I just thought I should try to see how the DHCP server on this unit works and to see that it was not working as it should I thought I should ask someone on the community forum to see if this is really a normal behaviour or has linksys distributed a faulty product. My network works fine and Im the only user so Im not concerned about security. Im using WEP. To answer your other questions: There is no specific reason as to why I chose to limit DHCP to 6. I think 6 is good enough for me and as no one else is using my network I think 6 is an enough number for DHCP server to assign an unused IP address to my laptop after the lease period expires. I believe I dont need 50. The reason why I used 5 mins as lease time is because I wanted to test the DHCP server. 5 mins is short and I can wait and monitor to see if my IP address gets updated. Waiting for a day will be overkill for the simple test. Did you try it on your router? I'd be interested to know how it worked for you if it really worked. Thanks for you help!

I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mc

I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.

Disabling the IMAP server

How do I disable the IMAP server?
<P>
If you want to use only the POP server, you can disable the
IMAP server by moving the executable from
$(ServerRoot)/bin/mail/server/network into
$(ServerRoot)/bin/mail/server/disabled.
<P>
If you decide to run the IMAP server later, you can just move
it back. The disabled directory does not exist by default on
and may need to be created.

You can access an Exchange account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client if IMAP account access is enabled for your Exchange account at the Exchange server.
You can also access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the iPhone's mail client if ActiveSync is enabled for your Exchange account at the Exchange server. This provides Push access for the email account, and provides for over the air syncing for contact info and calendar events with the Exchange server.

Is it more secure to turn off the DHCP server in router?

I read that it is more securer to turn off the DHCP server in the router?
Is this true?

If you google the question you'll find articles claiming that disabling autmatic DHCP makes a router more secure. For example: http://netsecurity.about.com/od/quicktip1/qt/qtwifistaticip.htm
On the other hand, there are articles debunking this (and other ideas) as myths:

Where can I find the file where the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored?

In our company we are using DHCP to assign static ip addresses to our clients.
Now we are forced to change the ip address range. To prevent changing each allocation
of mac-address to ip-address manually with the admin tool i would like to change the allocation
in the file where the allocations are saved. The reason ist that i just have to use copy & paste for all
the allocations.
So how is the file named and where can I find the file where
the static mapping allocations of the DHCP server are stored? Is it just an ASCII file?
Must i note anything when i change the file manually?

From man bootpd:
BOOTP/DHCP STATIC BINDINGS
     Static IP address to ethernet address bindings are stored in the /etc/bootptab file and in Open Directory. Bindings specified in the /etc/bootptab file take precedence over those in Open Directory.
     See bootptab(5) for more information about the /etc/bootptab file.
     For Open Directory, bootpd looks at the /Computers records for the following properties:
/etc/bootptab is a standard text file, while the records in Open Directory can be manipulated either through the command line, or via Workgroup Manager.

I want to disable the encryption for my backups. Where do I find that?

I want to disable the encryption in ITunes so I can work with restoring my new Iphone 5s and my new Ipad Air.
Where do I find that?

Hello RadioProf,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iTunes: About iOS backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
iTunes will continue making encrypted backups until you deselect the Encrypt backup checkbox in the iTunes Device Summary screen. You need the backup password to disable backup encryption or to restore from an encrypted backup.
Have a nice day,

Linksys EA6700, "Cannot find the DHCP server"

Hello all
I have a Linksys EA6700 router that has given me problems the three months I've had it.
Typically I get the message "Cannot find the DHCP server" or no message at all. I have everything from three to eight PC's, SqueezeBoxes, Blu-ray players etc hooked up to it.
Very often one or several of these cannot find the server.
Is there an easy solution to this problem?
Any help appreciated!
Jan

You can set static ip information on wireless devices that don't connect to other wireless networks.
Use software like "Wifi Analyzer" for andriod or "inSSIDer" for PC.
Make sure your wireless signals channels don't overlap with other strong wireless signals and space your wireless channels at least 3 or more channels apart.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

"Cannot find the DHCP server" message in 2012 R2

Hello All,
I am running Server 2012 R2 with a DHCP server running on it(usually). Every few days or so, when I go into my DHCP console, I click on my server and I get the above message written in the topic of this thread?? Does anyone know why this is happening?
The server is literally on all the time. It mentions that the DHCP service isn't running, but what can be shutting that down? From what I have tried, the only way for me to rectifiy the issue is to do a restart during non-peak hours and the DHCP
server comes right up no problem. It doesn't seem like I am having DHCP problems in my organization even though this message is up. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
How are things going?
Based on your description, you get “Cannot find the DHCP server” message, but it seems that the DHCP services in your organization has no problems.
I agree with Jugganutz1871. In addition, have you recently made some changes in your DHCP server or your network? Such as, there are some cases with firewall.
If there are any updates, please feel free to let us know.
Best Regards,
Tina

Pls suggest.

I want to disable the iPhone was stolen by you

I want to disable the iPhone was stolen by you

Then you can not disable the phone. It can only be disabled if Find my iPhone is enabled, and to enable Find my iPhone requires an Apple ID which is how you log in to an icloud account at https://icloud.com.
If you report the phone stolen to your carrier in some countries the carrier can block the IMEI, but only for that country.

I WANT TO DISABLE THE LOCK SCREEN CAMERA

I WANT TO DISABLE THE LOCK SCREEN CAMERA

I know I shall regret asking, but why does keeping the iPhone out of reach of your toddler imply it must also be out of reach of yourself?
I suppose not comepletely out of reach for me, but not out in the open. I would have to put my phone either on top of a high shelf, which I would need to get on a stoll myself to get to, or in a closet or inside a cabinet. The truth is that I spend most of my time at home in the same room as my daughter, which is the layroom, and there aren't really any places there to put my phone out of reach. Putting it our of reach for her would mean missing phonecalls myself.
This is beyond this topic of discussion, really and I'm sorry. My daughter had gotten used to the fact that if she did get a hold of my phone she couldn't do anythig with it. Now she's learned that she can take pictures if she gets a hold of the phone and it's a fight every time she "finds" my phone, because now she wants to be able to take pictures and it's tiring having to take it away from her, deal with the crying and screaming and also have to punish her for the offense. Again, this is getting way off topic.
My opinion on the actual topic of this discussion is that this "feature" shouldn't have been imposed on me, I should've been given a way to disable this feature. It was, in my opinion, not well thought out by apple and I really think we should get a new update that allows us to disable it. (already told apple what I thought, thank you).

I have an Acer Aspire 7741. I want to disable the CAPS LOCK ICON. It interferes with my work.

I have an Acer Aspire 7741. I want to disable the CAPS LOCK ICON because it interferes with my work. Microsoft states this is a utility that is on the computer, not something that is controlled by Windows software. Help, please. This is the only computer I use that does this and it's quite annoying at times.

it must already be installed on your system, normally it enables the Fn+F functions and over things like Caps lock. http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Application/LaunchManager/LaunchManager_Dritek_4.0.5_W7x86W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634061190269930459&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%207741&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6
