I want to set up my router for Peer To Peer connection.

I recently started playing a new game that requires Peer to Peer connection, and I lag a lot when I log in, so I was wonder what options I would have to check, How to enable/disable options to optimize my gaming connection.
What kind of router I have is MI424-WR Rev. E Actiontec. Or something along that line.. I was researching what to do and it had a lot to do with DMZ, Ports, and firewall. But any help would be appreciated.
Im off for tonight so I wont be able to check the post until like 9 hours from now. Goodnight
Oh if you need to know what game it is for some odd reason its Dungeon Fighters Online, or http://dungeonfighter.nexon.net/
I like arcade style games.
Oh and my brother connects to this router to and i want him to keep internet so none of the options can interfear with his internet connection.

I took a quick look at the www site for the game, but did not see anything definite from the vendor on what port(s) the game uses.
You would need to set up you gaming machine with a Static TCP/IP Address and configure the Verizon Router with Port Forwarding of the ports used by the game. I would ONLY set it up in the DMZ if all else fails.
Note that the Verizon Router has a small NAT Table which may effect your ability to play a P2P game for extended periods of time.

HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks

What do you mean by administer?
When you set up the account you have to enter a birthday and it has to results in being 13 years old or older.
You can set a Restriction that hides the iTunes and App store and another one to prevent in-app purchases. See:

HT4576 I want to set up appointment times for an overseas trip before I go, and see those local times in the places I visit, but also be able to set new appointments while I am traveling, in the local times. Can I do this with Time Zone Support? If not,

I want to set up appointment times for an overseas trip on my iPhone 4S before I go, and have them appear as I put them in (for the local time) when visiting other countries. I also want to be able to adjust times and set up new appointments when I am overseas for the local time. Can I do this using the Time Zone Support or any other way?
Basically I want to do what I can do with a piece of paper - write down the time for when I will be there, and have it viewable when I am there, but also be able to put down new times while there.

Hi.
Regarding your question about reverting back- yes, I think you can. If you make a backup of your current configuration in Server Admin (by dragging the configuration file to your desktop- cool, no?) then you can load that one back in should your configuration not work. If you have the manual from Apple it should describe this process.
Network speed post-op? I don't think you will need to worry. Even using home directories stored on our OS X Server there is no network slowdown (that you can notice or that impacts the wider LAN in any case). It shouldn't slow down access to files, applications (which still come from the local drive anyway) or individual internet connections (even with filtering).
In our experience some of these things have actually got faster- but a lot of that is user perception. Same goes for people who will know you have configured the server and that they are now accessing files through your network from the server, and who really think it is slower. File coming from your local hard drive will always be quicker- but network access isn't that bad that it will make you barf and run in the opposite direction.
Something to look at: connection speed between clients and switching technology in your office. In other words, what kinds of switches are you using, what line speed have you got (100MB/s?) and is the connection from your server to the switch gigabit? Make sure it is.

I want to set a maximum size for pictures when FF shows websites. How can i do that? NO I DONT MEAN "HOW TO ZOOM".

I have FF 34 but this problem has been there for a lot of earlier versions. On many webpages there are pictures that cover my whole screen, and I want to set maximum size for showing images on webpages.
I ONLY wanr to change the maximum size of the images, AND IAM NOT asking about how to zoom the webpage.

Do you want to hide large images or merely make them smaller by setting a max-width and max-height?
You would probably have to use JavaScript (bookmarklet) to achieve this reliably.
There are bookmarklets to make large images fit in the window to avoid a horizontal scroll bar
You can try this code in the userContent.css file (adjust the max-width accordingly).
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userContent.css
<pre><nowiki>img { max-width: 1024px !important; height: auto !important; }</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
*Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
*Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userContent.css file in the chrome folder (file name is case sensitive)
*Paste the code in the userContent.css file in the editor window
*Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userContent.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userContent.css.txt file

Setting up Multicast Routing for Imaging on HP Switches

I've just spent a bit of time getting multicast imaging to work on our
HP ProCurve switched network so I thought I'd post what was necessary
so if anyone else had to look for it then they'd have some help.
You'll need a switch capable of routing such as a 5300 series that is
already routing regualr IP traffic. By default IGMP routing is disabled
so that multicast traffic will not cross VLANs. Here's how to change
that:
Log into the 5300 in Manager mode (aka Admin)
type "config" /goes into config mode
type "ip multicast routing" /sets up IGMP routing
type "router pim" /sets up Protocol Independant Multicast routing
type "vlan *" /where * is a VLAN numeric ID
type "ip igmp" /sets up IGMP routing on that VLAN
type "ip pim" /sets up PIM routing on that VLAN
Repeat those last three steps for all necessary VLANs
type "exit" /to get back out of config mode - you may have to do
that more than once
type "wri mem" to save the config changes
Then go out to any other switches in the network path for multicasts
and login in Manager mode
type "config"
type "vlan *" /where * is VLAN numeric ID
type "ip igmp" /turns on IGMP routing
Repeat those last two steps for all VLANs that need it
type "exit" /to get back out of config mode - you may have to do
that more than once
type "wri mem" to save the config changes
That's it and it meant I went from "Session Master not found" to "New
Image successful". I hope it helps somebody.

I want to set up Time Machine for my Macbook pro but I already have files on my seagate hard drive. Will i lose them if i set up time machine on it ?

So i have a 2 TB Seagate time machine. I had an older laptop that I had transfered things from onto that about 2 years ago. My current macbook has been acting up so i want to set up time machine. Will i lose everything on the hard drive if i try to set it up as time machine now?
I read about partioning it.. but Im still scared i will lose what is on it?
My macbook is about 2 years old running OS.X 10.9.1
Please advise.

Partitoning can be done on the fly.
However TimeMachine works best if it is Partition 1.
If you formate and repartition then yes you lose everything.
How about getting another drive.

Router for small business Internet connection

One of our clients recently switched ISPs to Speakeasy who installed a Hatteras HN 407 bridge. We have had Internet connectivity problems using their SonicWall 3060 firewall, and we experienced similar problems when attempting to use a newer Sonicwall TZ180. We temporarily installed a Linksys W54GT router, which has been working perfectly; however, we would like to have a more robust router for their 25 user network - additional security options, performance, VPN, two WAN connections, etc. Can you recommend a small business router with 2 WAN connections? This customer has a business ethernet 3Mbps (up and down) Internet connection, uses an online medical scheduling program, normally has 10 - 20 uses using the Internet connection and will be installing a backup DSL line that we would like to use for load balancing.

Our recommendation for Dual WAN would be RV082 This would be the prefect VPN router for small Business and if you are looking for more ports on the Ethernet, then we would recommend the RV016

I want to set up my mac book as a wireless router for other computers to connect on

I already used my macbook as a wireless router but these days when i try to set it up through the internet sharing column in system preferences the up arrow signal shows for a second does not show anymore making my wireless invisible to other pcs and the green icon to show internet sharing is up stays on . How do i go about this and sort this problem . My Mac OS X is 10.9.3 . Thanks

Hello Francinette Pestana. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Have you already checked with your Virgin ADSL ISP on, whether or not, they can provide you with an Ethernet modem or combination modem/router? This would be the most straightforward path to a solution.

I have a Westell 6100G modem. I want to set up Airport Express for wireless. Can someone tell me how to do it step by step. I'm using an HP with Windows Vista. I'm a tech idiot.

Just got Airport Express to save on GBs of data. I have already a Westell 6100G which is for use as Internet Broadband, via Verizon. How do I set up the Airport Express with this Westell. Do I even still need the Westell, or do I need to also buy a wireless router? I'm a tech idiot and this is driving me nuts.

The Westell 6100G is a combination modem and router or gateway device. The AirPort Express is a wireless router.
Since the Express does not have a built-in modem, you will still need your Westell gateway in order to access the Internet.
Which exact model of AirPort Express do you have. It will be written (in very hard to read type on a label on one of the AirPort's sides). It should look something like: A1392. It may also state a Order#. In that case it would look something like: MC414LL/A
Regardless of which model you have, the basic network configuration would be that you would connect an Ethernet cable between the Westell's Ethernet port and the WAN (circle of dots) port on the Express. (Note: If you have an earlier model of the Express, you would connect the cable to the only Ethernet port on the Express.)
The good news is that you will not have to make any configuration changes to the Westell. We should be able to use it as configured.
What we are going to start with is getting a basic Wi-Fi network that should provide your computer with wireless access to the Internet. Once verified as working, we can fine-tune this network to include wireless security and any other goals that you may have.
Ready to start?
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the Westell and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the AirPort Express base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
Once the reset has completed, remove the AirPort Express from power.
Connect an Ethernet cable between the Westell and the AirPort Express.
Power-up the Westell; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.

I need help setting Win7 Advanced attributes for the USB drive connected to my EA4500 router

I can drill down to the Permission Entry for [foldername] window for a folder on the USB drive. There I learn that user group Everyone does not have the Full Control permission box checked. When I check the box and then click Apply, I get an Error Applying Security window. If I click Continue there, I get a Windows Security window that says "Unable to save permission changes on [foldername]. Access is denied." with no way out but an OK button.
I have Administrative authority in Win7, but maybe I need to know some Unix voodoo to come to terms with my router-mounted drive. I put the drive on the router to make always available, and I'd like to get it to work. For example, I can't turn the archive bit off for any file or folder on that drive when it's mounted on the router. Not with ATTRIB -A and not with XCOPY /M.
Just to stuff it in my face, XCOPY /M returns a two-line error message for every sub-folder that exists in the target folder:
Access denied
Unable to create directory - foldername
Help! And thanks in advance.
:+)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Bill Dennes,
(Solutions/Work-Arounds below this paragraph, but sets up some useful information.)
As for the Security tab, I'm unsure of exactly why it doesn't appear on the tab itself for folders; however, clicking "Advanced -> Change Permissions -> Edit" will display the permissions; although, this doesn't appear to be a part of the problem in a sense. Additionally, “Everyone” always only has read & execute and is also not a part of the issue. To go further with this, the only users that have delete permission are “0” and “root” and since we can delete, we “should” be logged in as one of them and as such have “Full Control.”
As for the drive type, I'm unsure of why it "changes" it from FAT32 to NTFS (probably something to do with how it handles permissions); however, this is also not a part of the issue.
I have a flash drive formatted to FAT32, albeit only a 4GB and on an EA6500 with secure sharing enabled, that it does these both to and "xcopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m" works on it when all files and folders have the A attribute; however, disabling secure sharing makes it fail.
I’ve looked further into this and there are three ways I know of, as of right now, to make copying files with the bat file work for you:
The first way is to enable secure sharing and map the drives using it, once that is done you won’t need to enter the password again and your script will work as you currently have it coded. Given you have no need for the secure sharing, but it’s a simple solution. This is also the only way to be able to modify any attributes, although the only ones I know of that it will accept are R and A.
The second way is to instead use ROBOCOPY with the options /e, /m, and /copy:dt.
For example: "robocopy testfolder Y:\ /e /m /copy:dt"
/e = Copy subdirectories, including empty ones. (or use /S which will not copy empty folders)
/m = Copy only files with the Archive attribute and reset it.
/copy:dt = Copy data and timestamps, does not copy attributes, security, owner info, or auditing info.
The only important option to use is /copy:dt, the others can be replaced with whatever you need. Note that things like Song Author will still get copied as they are a part of the data section. I don’t believe XCOPY supports doing this, and in either case robocopy is a better solution that comes with Windows Vista and up, and can be gotten for those below Vista.
The third way is to add a section to the script to remove attributes from all folders before using xcopy to copy to the NAS, or modify the section that is causing the folders to have the A attribute as xcopy will gladly still copy them with /E or /S enabled.
The issue seems to be that when secure sharing is off, the server refuses attribute changing of folders, which is what is causing XCOPY to fail, as I suspect it attempts to change the attributes on the folders. Similarly, using robocopy without /copy:dt will also fail but gives you “Error 5 … changing file attributes [folder/path] Access is denied”. This is why I suspect that when XCOPY says “unable to create directory” that it is actually trying to change the attributes of the directory. Furthermore, it seems that the reason this works while secure sharing is on is that while it is on, the server pretends to accept the attributes but in reality ignores all attributes besides R. The server then adds the A attribute to all files put onto it, which you can only modify when secure sharing is enabled for some reason. The exception to this is that in either case, any file with the “H” (hidden) attribute, will not be copied, even if explicitly told to copy it. (This is true for both robocopy and xcopy; you also cannot manually add it afterwards.)
Is there an issue with the files on the NAS having the A attribute? If so the only way I currently know of to get rid of it is to enable secure sharing and have the script remove the attribute after copying. For example, when you look at the permissions, the user "0" and “root” have full control as I've previously stated. You can tell Windows to specifically use one of them when mapping the drive, which in turn should give you full control; however, the server still refuses modifying attributes without secure sharing on for some strange unknown reason. Although, I am no "UNIX gearhead," so there may in fact be another way that I do not know of. The only time they are not listed as “Full Control” on my end is when a file was previously marked Read-Only, in which case they all share the same limited control. When I said in the beginning that the permissions are not a part of the problem in a sense, it’s more of that for the general case of what you need to do, they aren’t the problem as long as you don't need the R attribute and having the A isn't an issue, as it seems to be more of the server is refusing attributes even though we should have permission; however, they do appear to be a bit weird and are possibly displaying incorrect when secure sharing is disabled.
I'd like to apologize in advance for any unclear, weirdly stated, or just plain odd things said in this post as I was pulled away to do a bunch of things and ended up editing, adding things, and finishing it late into the night and hope that one of the above is an acceptable resolution to your issue.

How do I set up my router for use with only my laptop?

I want to use my WRT300N v1 broadband router wirelessly with only my laptop, but the set-up instructions I've seen involve wiring the router to a desktop. Can anyone provide me with the instructions I need?
Thanks.

It is not an mandotary step to connect the Desktop to the Router... it just indicates that first you need ant computer connected to the router using cable & working online ....
If you want to go online with Laptop .... either you can connect the Laptop to the Router using Cable or you can wirelessly go online ,.....
Connect the Laptop to the router using Ethernet Cable ,,,,, at LAN port 1-4 .... Check the light status ... access setup page ...
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode
should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID
broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>Now
Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security" Change the
Wireless security mode to "WEP/WPA"...have a note of the key ... click save settings ...
On the Laptop try connecting to the Wireless network ...
See if it connects ....

I want to set up an iPod for my dad... (Multiple Libraries Question)

My dad has a early Shuffle (back when HP made 'em), and has grown tired of no screen and all. Being technologically deficient as he is, I was going to give him my old iPod Video for Father's Day (since I'm getting the iPhone, hopefully), and have it loaded full of stuff.
If I use that Multiple Libraries deal, I can make a library for him, with his taste in music (that I want to stay far away from my library), and it won't affect my library at all, right? Max, I'd go into this library once a month, while I use my library every other day.

It is possible to have multiple libraries in a single account and use each one for a different iPod without affecting the other. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library but if you are only going to update your Dad's iPod periodically this shouldn't be an issue:

Help setting up Actiontec router for 3G Microcell

I have read through numerous forums here and elsewhere, all to no avail. I simply cannot get my 3G Microcell to connect. I have 4 green lights and the nonstop blinking 3G indicator. I've tried restoring default settings, numerous restarts of equipment, DMZ settings, port forwarding...nothing works. And calls to Att and verizon are nothing but a goat rope.I have FIOS 50/25 Internet with the Actiontec router.
It's is extremely frustrating, this shouldn't be so difficult, so I'm truly hoping there's someone out there with a concrete answer for this. Any help or advice would be most appreciated!

FWIW, I am using an Actiontec router and an AT&T Microcell, both in default configuration, and I have no problem activating the Microcell.
If viafax999's ideas don't solve your issue, you might try posting your problem on the AT&T MicroCell forum:

There will likely be more users with experience specific to the MicroCell and it's potential problems there.
