IP Address Problem

I have a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver 2002 running OSX 10.3.9, with Verizon DSL service. I suddenly have a very strange problem with my IP Address and some erratic behavior. When the internet connection works, my network settings are:
Location: Verizon DSL
Show: Built-in Ethernet
for TCP/IP
Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
IP Address: 71.xxx.xxx.xx (a series of automatically assigned numbers)
Subnet: 255.xxx.xxx.x (a series of automatically assigned numbers)
Router: 71.xxx.xxx.x (a series of automatically assigned numbers)
Recently, without changing any of the settings, I get an IP Address something like 169.xxx.xxx.xx. This IP Address does not work. The tech people at Verizon Online said that the line from my DSL modem to their server was fine, but that the automatically assigned IP Address should be the 71.xxx.xxx.xx number.
There is no pattern to this error. Originally the connection would work in the morning and begin the error IP Address about 4:00 pm. Today when I booted, the connection was out and the 169.xxx showed in the network window. I used the internal Apple modem and a secondary dial-up account and could connect to the internet. After I disconnected the dial-up, the Ethernet connection worked, showing the correct IP Address of the 71.xxx numbers.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on here. Thanks.

I seem to have this (or a very similar) problem repeatedly after updates. I use a wireless connection to the internet when at work, which mostly is trouble free. However following the last two itunes/quicktime updates and now also following the latest security update (Security Update 2006-005 (10.3.9)) which deals with the airport protocol, I have had this problem.
Where the airport managed to connect and obtain a valid IP address before, with exactly the same settings the computer uses a 'self-assigned' IP address following the update. As you observe the self assigned IP address does not enable you to connect.
However following the itunes/quicktime updates the problem resolved itself after a few days ( a few hours the second time) and did not reoccur. I have only just encountered the problem following the security update and hope it also resolves itself soon.
Any advice on how to avoid this altogether would be appreciated.

Self-assigned IP address problems

I'm having a problem with my wireless router connection (my Airport card shows the network, but the "fan" is greyed out, and if I choose the network it still doesn't connect - When I check network status I get "AirPort connected to network, but has self-assigned IP address and may not be able to connect...)
I can temporarily fix the problem by going into System Preferences to Network to Airport to Preferred Networks to Assist Me and THEN it will go to my network and turn on the path.
I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on a G5 iMac with the original AirPort Extreme card, and routing through a Linksys WRT54G attached to a cable modem.
There are a lot of networks in my area, according to my wireless "fan".
If changing channels on my router might fix this, I'd like to give it a try, but I don't know how, AND I don't want to ruin the signal to the other computers in the house, which, by the way, work just fine when the iMac loses the signal.
If there's another way to tell the router to ignore the self-assigned IP address, or to get the AirPort to stop providing this ...
The problem is obviously the self-assigned IP address. The question is what is causing this?
Is it the AirPort Extreme Card?
Is it the Linksys Wireless router?
How do I test to see which it is, without losing the signal from the router to the other computers in the house?
With so many people having the same problem, there must be an answer somewhere.
Can some kind soul please point out the correct path? My tech support (teenager) will be home from college this week, and if I can prove to him that it won't ruin everything I think he'll be up to the challenge.

Hi,
Thank you Linc & dwb, I've had no issues with the router in the 14 months its been installed. But tonight I've turned off the NAS and since then no drop off for wifi/ or assigning itself an IP address.
I will switch on the NAS once again and see what happens, would it be best to assign a static IP to the NAS? One thing I have found when checking the homehub connection details, the mac air connects at the 5Gz Wireless as does the Kindle, which has also suffered from losing the wifi connection, where as my macbook pro only connects at 2.4Gz and like I said has not had any issue. Not sure if this anything to do with the problem or not?
All I do know is that since the NAS was introduced then the problems began, so again not sure if its the NAS impacting on the router or a router setting?
thanks

Self-assigned IP address problem - My solution

I am new to this board and created an ID just to write this post. When I searched for this self-assigned IP problem, I found almost 1 million results on Google so obviously I am not alone.
I have this problem off and on on the wireless network at home with a Netgear router. It has never happened at my office with a D-Link router. Never happened at Starbucks or McDonalds (yes, they all offer WiFi here). But it happened at one Pizza Hut and it also at Christchurch airport about a week ago.
Deleting one of the plist files worked once at home many months ago but this week nothing worked. My Mac usually goes back to normal by itself after I "****" it out at other WiFi networks but not this time. As a last resort, I asked my brother (our family's I.T. guy) to change the router as I had not tried that fix. He didn't do it but a day later, he gave me to oddest solution that worked in a blink of an eye.
The solution? Key in a wrong password!!!
1) Go to Keychain Access, delete the keychain for the problematic network.
2) Connect back to the network
3) Enter a WRONG password that is similar to the right one. For example, if your password is Apple123, try APPLE123. You should still connect to the network and get a self-assigned IP.
4) Repeat Step 1. To be safe, you might want to re-boot now. I did but probably didn't have to!
5) Repeat Step 2
6) Enter the right password
I'm not all that techie so all I understood from what he said was:
1) It's probably a non-Apple router bug
2) It's a hex key problem. The password wasn't being encoded/decoded properly so the router wasn't assigning the computer an IP address. Wasn't even reading the password which is why I could connect with a wrong one.
He deduced that from reading a post from a guy in Spain who thought he had carelessly entered the wrong password and was wasting the community's time with his posting. I had read that post a couple of days ago too! But obviously I thought the Spaniard had just entered the wrong password and there was no fix for me to try out. My brother is a genius!
I guess it then makes sense why fixes like:
1) Disabling the firewall
2) Deleting preference lists
3) Deleting keychains
4) Changing the router
5) Renewing DHCP lease
6) Resetting the router
...have worked for many people and not others. None of them actually fix the cause of the problem. Having searched for 3 days, I could not find the REAL reason why this happened. Personally from all I have read, I think it must be a hex key problem with Netgear and Linksys routers. I see those 2 names mentioned a **** of a lot. Maybe it's another one of those gadgets built more for PCs that don't work perfectly with Macs all the time. We used to have an Apple Airport Extreme base station but that got fried by lightning. It was not cheap.... So technically, it really isn't Apple's problem. I think if we used an Apple router, we wouldn't have a self-assigned IP address. Maybe that's why they haven't "fixed" the problem after so many years.
Anyway, let me know if my brother's fix worked for you.
This is my good deed for the weekend! Goodnight....!

IMessage contact address problems

I am a little perplexed about how to set up iMessage correctly.
I have iMessage activated. My settings are that "I can be reached by iMessage" at my phone number and email. I "Start new conversations from" my email.
The first problem I have is when I talk to my girlfriend (she has an iPhone). I frequently have two different iMessage threads with her and it is very frustrating. In one thread, if I click on her Contact info it highlights her phone number. The other thread, it highlights her email. Its annoying to not keep everything in one unified thread. Is there anyway to do this? Is the problem on her end or my end?
Keeping the above problem in mind, I would also like to unify my iMessage with my iPad messaging. I get this to work sporatically, but I would like it if I could consistently see all my iMessage conversations in my iPad as if I were looking at my iPhone. My girlfriend also has an iPad (although she hasn't been using it for messaging) so I would like to be able to set up the same for her.
I just don't understand the need for separating iMessages into two threads depending on the address. It would seem to be easier for everyone if you just kept it unified based on the name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, did you ever fix this problem? I'm having the same issue.

DHCP beginning address problem.

Hi guys,
I cannot understand how to configure my TC. I put exactly the same network settings as they were in the Airport Express to share the Internet connection. Everything works fine except the internet itself. The problem as I see it is that dhcp beginning address cannot be set far away from the static IP. In my case, the static IP is 213.170.70.** and I only can change these ** last figures in the dhcp range.
But this conflicts with my provider and I have no internet while the TC itself works fine. If I set "share the only address" it doesn't help either.
Anybody can help?
Many thanks in advance.

None really. These are the three IP Address ranges available for Private Networks. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has directed the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to reserve these IPv4 address ranges for private networks. This has been published in RFC 1918.

Web server default address problem

When I installed the new Xserve with Leopard Server to replace an old G4 running OSX 10.3 server my default Web address changed from: http://xxxx.xxxx.xxx to http://xxxx.xxxx.xxx/groups/workgroup/
I just want it to go back to the original way it was. I'm living in a Windows world and I'm the only Mac person here.
Any help would be appreciated.

I had the same problem this morning with a clean install of 10.5 Leopard Server.
I called apple and spoke to a really good guy who ran through a diagnosis with me and advised that under server admin you have your default site built in, what to do is click on that original site then there is a little box under it where you are able to duplicate the site, click this, then basically make everything the same and try through safari and it should work, mine works perfect now.
I asked him why this happens and a easy answer was oh its a glitch we aim to fix it as soon as possible.
Hope this helps

AP 2700 - 2 MAC addresses - problem with joining to the WLC

Hi,
I had a problem with joining my new AP 2700 to the controller. I've found workaround but I would like to ask you if you know if this behavior is a some kind of bug or maybe feature :)
I have DHCP server which assigns IP address base on the binding MAC address with the IP address. Without binding, IP won't be assigned so I added MAC address from the AP sticker (MAC and SN number is on the sticker at the back of each AP) to the DHCP, connected AP to the switch port which was configured exactly the same way like other ports on this switch where older AP are working fine and.... nothing. IP address was not assigned. There was no DHCP request in the DHCP server logs.
During the investigation I've found that AP present 2 MAC addresses on the switch interface:
switch#sh mac address-table interface fa1/1
Mac Address Table
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
11 58f3.54c1.2cb3 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
11 58f3.54c1.2cb4 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
The first one (58f3.54c1.2cb3) is a "sticker" MAC address but the second one (58f3.54c1.2cb4) is something new. Looking in to the DHCP logs I've found log that this second MAC address (58f3.54c1.2cb4) tried to get IP address but it was not possible because this MAC was not binding with any IP address so DHCP server refuse. I added this second MAC (58f3.54c1.2cb4) to the DHCP server, AP get IP address, join to the WLC, download software, reboot and ... this MAC address disappear.
switch#sh mac address-table interface fa1/1
Mac Address Table
Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
11 58f3.54c1.2cb3 DYNAMIC Fa1/1
Software I had on the AP before joining to the WLC was:
Version :
Cisco IOS Software, C2700 Software (AP3G2-RCVK9W8-M), Version 15.2(4)JB5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
now I have (after downloaded from the WLC)

Connecting to wireless - IP address problems, netcfg and iwconfig

I have been running into some baffling problems when connecting to wireless. I regularly connect to an unsecured wireless with a hidden essid connection that then has some kind of ssl login.
here is the info for it:
sudo iwlist eth1 scanning
Password:

I can never connect with netcfg, i use the "wireless" profile as follows:

if i do execute:
sudo netcfg wireless
then i get this:

- DHCP IP lease attempt failed.

the only way i can connect is if i do a:
sudo ifconfig eth1 up
sudo iwconfig eth1 essid ""
sudo dhclient eth1
if dhclient doesnt connect, this is what it says:

oftentimes i have to do dhclient multiple times (the same goes if i try and use dhcpcd)...can someone explain why this happens?

I am having the same problem on a network with a signal Quality: 5/5.
I used to use wicd without problems (pre 1.6.*). About a month ago I started having problems with wicd. At first I had trouble getting wicd to start, but after updating to 1.6.2 that problem went away. I then starting having problems with connecting to the network. It would show that it was connected and then disconnect after a few seconds (may have been a problem with dhcp). When I started having problems with wicd I decided to wait for an update to fix it, so I don't know if something else changed during that time that might be causing this problem.
Last night I decided to try netcfg. I following the directions on the Arch wiki and it worked. I connected to my WPA network with DHCP and was able to surf the net. I then tried disconnecting and reconnecting, just to be sure that everything was working. Ever since then I have been getting the same
:: wireless up
[BUSY] dhcpcd: timed out
- DHCP IP lease attempt failed.
[FAIL]
that was mentioned earlier.
Since this appears to be happening with both wicd and netcfg, is it possible that this is a problem with the driver? I am using the broadcom-wl driver and the output from lspci is
0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4328 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 05)

Primary Email Address Problem

Apologies in advance for the long post.
I could post this query in a variety of locations - MAS/iTunes Store/iCloud - but the area it's actually causing a problem is Apple Support Communities.
For several days I have been virtually unable to log in here because I have to constantly verify/re-submit my Primary Email Address in My AppleID.
Every time I try to login I get presented with the screen saying 'Report Account Issue', telling my to go to 'My Apple ID' to check my details. I follow the link and have to re-submit my previously verified email address. This normally allows me to then login - until the next time when I have to repeat the process.
I've lost count of the times I've been to my My Apple ID, my iTunes Store Account, MAS and edited my ID re-inputting the email address - it just never gets remembered. Seems to forget the email address as soon as I've input it.
I'm in touch with the Community Hosts and the iTunes Store but think I might have a long wait for a resolution. Just hoping that someone here may have some ideas. I may be a coincidence but this seems to have occurred straight after installing the latest version of iTunes a few days ago.
I've tried clearing caches and cookies and deleting items in the Keychain. Tried loggin in from other computers and iOS devices - same problem.
If anyone has got any suggestions on how to make my primary email address get remembered like it used to I'd be extremely grateful.

Any suggestions what to do to remove this tried a variety of anti virus and malware options none find anything wrong. thanks in hope

Hi.
Are you using webmail, or a mail client program such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Mail ?
It seems like you may be using webmail, in which case within webmail :-
Options/Mail (or More) Options/Accounts. Click on the BTYahoo! account item or if already showing look at the "From Name".
You can alter this to suit.
However, even with "Honda Award" appearing, it should not necessarily cause emails to be spam.
If you have never set this item like this, then it could be that your account has been hacked. Also go to POP & Forwarding to make sure nothing is set in the forwarding area. If it is, then make a note of the email address and then you can inform the abuse desk of the actual mail address hosts.

Modbus address problem

Dear All
I have recently bought a compact FieldPoint system that consist of a cFP-1808 and a cFP-AI-118. I'm getting the system to work in Windows by using express Fieldpoint vias, but I have a requirement to have a Linux version (a embedded computer will control the system) so I have started to looking at Modbus. I downloaded the NI library "nimodbus" and read the help file "Using the cFP-180x as a Modbus Device". From the "nimodbus" library I'm using "MB Ethernet master Query.vi". In this vi there is a control that consist of five controls: "Function Code", "Starting address", "Quantity", "Data" and "Discrete".
According the help file "Using the cFP-180x as a Modbus Device" and page "FieldPoint Modbus Addresses", the address should start with '0' for raw I/O data. Since my analog input module is at slot '1'and I want to read channel 1, the address should be '01001'. But when I try to type this address in "Starting address" control it gets 'converted' to '1001' and during the run of the program I obtain the error code "MODBUS Exception code: 2." which means that my address is incorrect. But when I'm reading the attributes (according the help file It stats with '1', therefore my address is '11001'), I have no problems.
So please explain for me what I'm doing wrong with the address for reading the raw I/O data.
Best Regards
Magnus Svensson

Magnus,
No problem... "Coils" is an old terminology; usually implying closing/opening of solenoid coils.
Here's the Modbus standard -- a good overview:

The website www.modbus.org has other stuff as well.
