IP Address Resolution

How can I change the address that my IP appears to resolve to?
e.g. my IPAddress appears as, 86.146.131.73, but also, when I join things like IRC etc, I will also see the BT domain my IP Resolves to: "host86-146-131-73.range86-146.btcentralplus.com" 
Is it possible, at all to change it to a custom one, for a Domain I own e.g. "staff.companyname.com" if so how can it be done?

What you are seeing is simply the reverse DNS lookup of your IP address which is returned from the BT nameserver, and cannot be changed.
Other people will see the same thing.
You would have to register your own domain, and have a static IP address associated with that name, to change it.
BT Residential customers do not have static addresses.

  • Name-to-IP-Address-Resolution Problem

    We recently installed a small Windows Server 2012 Essentials network.  We are experiencing a persistent problem with one (and only one) of the workstations.  We had to install/remove/reinstall the "connector" software on this machine
    because of profile migration problems.  It was a standalone Windows 7 laptop prior to joining the network.  That was also the case for the other workstations, but their profile conversions went through smoothly the first time we ran the "connector"
    software.
    The actual IP address of this machine is 192.168.1.11 (based on IPCONIG run on the machine, data from the router's connected devices table, etc.).  The machine name is PANASONIC.  However, for some reason, the Win 2012 server links the PANASONIC
    computer to the IP of 192.168.1.4 (rather than 11). This incorrect value is present in the server's DNS client resolver cache (as displayed by IPCONFIG /displaydns when run on the server). Even when I purged the DNS resolver cache (IPCONFIG /FlushDNS). The
    incorrect pairing of PANASONIC with 192.168.1.4 keeps coming back.  By the way, there are no additional entries in the HOSTS file on either the server or the workstation (they are the standard blank Windows HOSTS files).
    As you know, Windows 2012 Essentials provides a DNS role to the 2012E server.  So I thought I would check the data there (Administrative Tools > DNS > Forward Lookup Zones > actual domain name).  I found the Panasonic listed there. 
    Under properties was an IP address field of 192.168.1.4 with a "timestamp" date of 12-23-2013, which is when we initially added the workstation to the 2012E network.  Perhaps that was the IP value initially obtained on the first run of the "connector"
    program.
    This incorrect name/IP pairing has caused a number of problems (including the inability to use Remote Web Workplace to connect to this workstation, which we can do with all of the other machines on this network).
    To solve the problem, should I manually change the IP address value in the DNS settings described above for the Panasonic machine?  If so, should I also check the "update associated pointer (PTR) record" box?
    If this is not the correct solution to the problem, can you suggest anything else I can do to resolve this persistent difficulty?  Sorry if these are obvious questions, but DNS is not my area of expertise.
    Thanks very much.

  • Query on Address Resolution Feature

    Hi,
    Can I mark a location on the map using its postal address(street, city, country), instead of its latitude/longitude coordinates(which are unavailable)? Example, would it be possible to mark my home at the map based on the address?
    As, in docs, i can only see WGS 84(long/lat) coordinate system used.
    Also, would it be possible to do vice-versa, i.e, on a mouse click event on the map, Can I capture the address?

    You need to create the address geocoding data within Oracle database to enable such functionality.
    Another way is to use to the google geocoding service to get the coordinates and then project the returned point to Oracle maps.

  • Address resolution protocol problem

    I'm trying to find  the MAC address of a know working printer on my network so I can add it to the DHCP reservation list on my server 2012. When I run arp -a, It doesn't show the IP address of the printer I'm looking for. I can ping the ip address of
    the printer so I know it's on and  it's working. I checked the IP address of the printer so I know that's correct. Why can't I see the ip address( and the MAC) address of the printer. Also, what is the mechanism that enters the IP and MAC address of the
    printer in the ARP table of the print manager of server 2012?
    Thank You.

    Hi Acenyc59,
    Please check if the printer's IP and that computer's IP  you are in same subnet , if not please try to use one computer with same subnet as the printer's then try to use "ping" and "arp -a " again .

    Messaging server attempts to search the LDAP server for the domain of the email address (in this case yahoo.com.hk) to see if it is a locally defined domain. As Chris already noted, you will see the "Temporary lookup failure" message if your LDAP server is not operating correctly or the MTA is performing an invalid query (an MTA configuration problem).
    I suggest you review the access logs on your LDAP server to see if there are any errors reported.
    You will also get additional debug logging by using the -debug switch with your earlier command e.g.
    ./imsimta test -rewrite -debug [email protected]

  • Why use link-local addressing for HSRP in IPv6?

    I have scoured the internet for an answer to this question, and am no closer to having it answered.  Am hoping someone here can help!
    * Why do we use link-local (or autoconfig) addresses for the standby IP in FHRPs?  If you are forwarding a packet towards a link-local destination address, wouldn't the source address then have to be a link-local address from the same prefix, which according to scope, should not route beyond the local link?  How do you route an IP packet that has a link-local address for a source address?
    Any insight would be much appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    Dougles,
    next hop is used for reaching "gateway" that know where to send packets farther (read it as "next hop to the destination")... routing in IPvX is hopping between nodes where every hop is closer to destination... This is theory behind.
    So as machine that needs to send packet to "not directly connected destination" you only need to send packet to gateway leading to this destination...
    so you need to send packet so, that "gateway" will recieve this packet and gateway then send this packet farther... it is not important what IP address this gateway has.
    On ethernet you only need to know MAC address of this gateway and you send packet (with your source IPv6 address and intended destination IPv6 address) encapsulated with "destination MAC address" of gateway. When gateway recieve ethernet frame, and this frame is for it (destination MAC address is its MAC address), the gateway will proceed IP header (inside IP header the gateway see IT is not final destination for this packet, and gateway will route this packet).
    So configuring IP address as next hop is just "hleper for simpler administration".. MAC address of gateway is important. In IPv4 address resolution protocol (ARP) is used to automaticly get MAC address of gateway if you configure next hop as IP address. In IPv6 there is neighbor discovery protocol(ND) used for this task.
    conclusion: you can use link local address as nex hop address for addresses from any scope ... next hop is just next hop, it is not used just for the same scope communication.
    And question is... if we need just information about MAC address of gateway, why to ask using global address?
    We need to get MAC address... that is information important just "locally"... so to ask for local information, why not use link local address ?
    HSRP is the same case... really just need MAC address to send packets correctly.

  • Cisco ip to mac address of a device?

    What command can I run in CLI, to get a mac address that is associated with a provided ip address?
    Context: In order to access wifi, users have to go through a web authentication. Upon submiting their credentials, we are able to see their ip address. We want to query router api with cli or something, to find a mac address based on the ip.
    Any pointers?

    It is usually not possible for a person to get the MAC address of a computer from its IP address alone. These two addresses originate from different sources. Simply stated, a computer's own hardware configuration determines its MAC address while the configuration of the network it is connected to determines its IP address.
    However, computers connected to the same TCP/IP local network can determine each other's MAC addresses. The technology called ARP - Address Resolution Protocol included with TCP/IP makes it possible. Using ARP, each computer maintains a list of both IP and MAC addresses for each device it has recently communicated with.
    Most computers allow you to see the list of IP and MAC addresses that ARP has collected there. In Windows, Linux and other operating systems, the command line utility "arp" shows this information. Using "arp," you can in fact determine the MAC address of some computers from their IP address. ARP works only within the small group of computers on a local area network (LAN), though, not across the Internet. ARP is intended for use by system administrators and is not generally useful as a way to track down computers and people on the Internet.

  • Difference betwn shared address and logical hostname

    Hello,
    For cluster 3.2, could someone explain the diff betwn "clreslogicalhostname create" and "clressharedaddress create"? I thought the former was to share a logical hostname (depending on DNS to resolve to the ip address) betwn nodes, and the latter to share ip address (don't need to rely ip address resolution). But examples of the latter use a hostname and not an ip address, which leads to my confusion.
    Thank you for clarifying this!

    You've got things a little bit confused.
    A logical hostname resource is an IP address (and associated hostname) that is placed in a fail-over resource group and used by the application(s) in that resource group. Such a resource group is resident on one node only and thus the IP address only exists, i.e. is plumbed in, on that cluster node too.
    An example of such a service would be, say, an NFS service, with the IP address being the one you mount shares from. Alternatively, it could be an HA-Oracle database with the IP address being that of the listener that clients connect to.
    A shared address resource is an IP address (and associated hostname) that is placed in a fail-over resource group but is used by applications in a scalable resource group. The shared address IP/hostname becomes a global IP address, such that it is physically plumbed in, e.g. on bge0:1, on the cluster node where the fail-over resource group is mastered and also plumbed in on the loopback interface, e.g. lo:2, of the cluster nodes that run the scalable services that depend on it.
    An example of such a service would be a scalable web server, e.g. Apache or Sun Java Web Server, that is run on multiple cluster nodes at once and has requests load-balanced to them directly by the cluster. The scalable IP address would provide a single address that clients could use, yet the requests can be serviced by one of several nodes.
    Hope that helps,
    Tim

  • Address Resoultion Protocol Questions.

    HI
    If my router has two different networks connected to two ethernet interfaces and if a host in n/w 1 wants to communicate with a host in n/w 2 how the Address resolution protocol works in the below condition [Assume that all the arp tables of all the hosts and router are empty.]
    1. THE DEFAULT GATEWAYS FOR ALL THE HOSTS IN BOTH THE NETWORKS ARE SET TO THEMSELVES.
    My questions
    1. Will the host in n/w 1 will arp for itself or will it arp for the router or will it arp for the destination. [Remember both the netwros are different]
    Please explain the setp by step process. Many thanx

    in this case if H1 itself is a gateway and it want to reach H2, source MAC address will be H1s MAC add and destination MAC address will be MAC addr of H2 or MAC addr of intermediate gateway between H1 and H2 if any depending on the below cases.
    1. If H1 is directly conected to H2, then when H1 will send ARP broadcast, H2 will send its MAC addr in ARP reply packet.
    2. if there is a Layer 3 device acting as gateway between H1 and H2, then H1 will send ARP broadcast message and gateway of H1 will respond with ARP reply with its MAC address because L3 device won't forward broadcast packets to another network. H1 can use this MAC addr to build frame to send it across to H2.
    below links can give you overview of default gateway concept.

  • Problem with DNS - ping/Safari cannot resolve, but host/dig work OK

    Hi All,
    Have a weird problem with DNS which is a bit similar to the following ones:
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2190208
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=337942
    I connect with remote internal network via OpenVPN and from time to time (yes, intermittent problem :)) internal DNS names cannot be resolved.
    When it happens I can still resolve names using host or dig utilities, but applications (like Safari) and ping cannot resolve them.
    resolv.conf has proper DNS server set:
    *$ cat /etc/resolv.conf*
    *# Mac OS X Notice*
    *# This file is not used by the host name and address resolution*
    *# or the DNS query routing mechanisms used by most processes on*
    *# this Mac OS X system.*
    *# This file is automatically generated.*
    *domain openvpn*
    *search openvpn*
    *nameserver 10.0.0.1*
    More than that - it can resolve those internal names when queried directly, for example using host:
    *$ host YYY.XXX.ru 10.0.0.1*
    *Using domain server:*
    *Name: 10.0.0.1*
    *Address: 10.0.0.1#53*
    Aliases:
    *YYY.XXX.ru has address 192.168.x.y*
    but at the same time ping reports "*Unknown host*":
    *$ ping YYY.XXX.ru*
    *ping: cannot resolve YYY.XXX.ru: Unknown host*
    I tried "*dscacheutil -flushcache*" and it did not help. Also tried to comment out domain and search directives in resolv.conf and it did not help as well (and actually it should not matter).
    Any ideas why this can happen and what else can I check when it happens again?
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue. It cropped up after I installed updates to MS Office 2008 and Firefox in which I also saw issues with the icons disappearing in the dock of the applications that were open when I started the Office update. I rebooted to try to get them back, but ended up deleting them and restoring from the Applications folder. I don't know if that's a red herring or not, but I generally try to figure out what has recently changed that may cause something to suddenly start failing.
    I'd been working successfully all morning before it started acting up. Switching from wifi to cat5 had no effect.

    What I notice in the original post is this error
    ARP: address resolution for 10.0.0.2 timed out.
    which says that the router is looking for the 10.0.0.2 server but not getting response to its arp request. Can the original poster clarify for us how the device that has the image file is connected to the router that has the problem? Also what kind of device is 10.0.0.2? Is it a PC running TFTP server software or is it something else?

  • Home Server Set Up - DNS, DHCP etc

    Hi
    I'm looking to set up a Mountain Lion Server at home. 
    I have a Lion Server but I think I will wipe it and start again, mainly because I didn't use a particularly good name to begin with. I've read the We Got Served Mountain Lion Server book, Mountain Lion Server for Dummies and Apples Documentation.
    I am planning to set up in the following way:
    Turn my Virgin Media router 'Modem Only' mode on.
    Turn on my AirPort Extreme and set it up as the DHCP server.
    I will set up a pool of IP addresses.
    Question 1 - I think the best way is to make a reserved IP address for my server within this pool rather than a static IP address outside of the pool (but within the subnet).  Any comments on this?
    Question 2 - I need to boot my Lion Server to get the MAC address for the reservation.  Should I set the reservation IP as the IP the DHCP server provides or set it up to an unused IP address? I will set up DHCP to distribute DNS server names. 
    Question 3 - Because I want my Mountain Lion Server to provide Directory Services I need to set up the Mountain Lion Server as a DNS server.  Is this correct?
    The DNS servers I will get the DHCP server to provide in the following order:
    1 My Mountain Lion Server
    2 My 1st Virgin Media DNS Server
    3 My 2nd Virgin Media DNS Server (not sure I can set up a 3rd DNS server)
    I am not going to use a Google DNS or another open DNS because they are located in the US and this affects caching of internet content.
    When I set up my Mountain Lion Server I am in two minds about going for a public internet registered domain or a private domain.
    Question 4 - Are there any limitations in using the registered public domain as opposed to a private domain with VPN.  If I need access to any of my machines remotely I tend to use LogMeIn form my iPad.  But I am tempted (just because its there) to set up a public internet address and using it. If I did go for the public domain I would need to use a dynamic DNS service (like Dyn.com) because I don't have a static IP.  However if I didn't I would only need to change my public DNS entry if I rebooted my router (and I may not even then as its IP address may not be reassigned). 
    If I don’t need remote access to my server very often then this would be acceptable.
    Question 5 - If I did go the full internet way (as opposed to the .private domain) what do I register at dyn.com?  Just my domain, then add a record for the server. 
    1. Register ‘example.com’
    2. Add a record at Dyn.com for ‘server.example.com’. 
    3. On my server set up put ‘server’ in the Computer Name field
    4. On the ‘Host Name’ field enter ‘server.example.com’.
    Question 6 – Bonjour and DNS.  Aside from whether I go for a public registered domain or a private domain (and access via VPN or LogMeIn) how do these settings affect the Bonjour set up?  My understanding is the Bonjour uses .local.  So what is the resolution path?  If I set up a DNS server on my Mountain Lion Server do I need to enter a record for each local laptop in the house or can I leave that to Bonjour?  My understanding is the Bonjour will continue for all local address resolution and the Mountain Lion DNS will take care of resolving the server name (for Directory Services and any other services).  Is this right will DNS be used for file and print services on the server?
    Any thoughts/answers/comments/casual abuse welcome.
    Thanks

  • Network printing Printer Pauses /usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed

    Morning,
    I wonder if anyone has encountered the following problem?
    NETWORK SET UP
    We have a network of 8 macs & a Fuji Xerox c2255 printer all connected to a gigabit switch.
    The Fuji Xerox has an fixed ip address 192.168.1.122 All devices have fixed ip address.
    PROBLEM
    Only one mac (Mac Pro) can print direct to the Fuji Xerox Printer. This Mac Pro is on 10.5.8. and it is sharing its printer connection with the rest of the studio. Oddily enough, the Appletalk function is turned on. When the appletalk function is turned off on the ethernet port, it can not longer directly print nor share the Fuji Xerox with the rest of the network
    The remainder of the Macs are all on 10.6.4 or 10.6.3. When the printer is first installed on the an iMac client, it can print from text files, offices docs, from safari or firefox with out any problem. But when it attempts to print a pdf file (preview) or Indesign files then it pauses the printer. Within the printer queue, if attempt to restart the printer, the printer pauses. It remains in this state indefinitely. When looking at the CUPS logs via the console, the error is printer-state-message="/usr/libexec/cups/backend/lpd failed". This is the message displayed on all the clients that attempt to print directly (via LPD) to the Fuji Xerox. Once this error message is logged, the iMac can no longer print out text files nor word documents.
    The following console log is typically of what all the 10.6.x clients are reporting,

    APPROACHED USED TO DATE
    1. I have reset the Printer subsystem for all clients
    2. I have reinstalled the latest PS drivers for this model of Fuji Xerox c2255. I have been on the phone with Fuji Xerox Technical support, FX DocuPrint C2255 v3017.104PS , and confirmed that this is the latest (and only) availible drivers for 10.5-10.6
    3. I have had the Studio manger arrange to have the Fuji Xerox printer fully serviced and had the firmware updated to latest version.
    4. Via Fuji Xerox Technical support, they advise I use the following settings for LDP printing for FX c2255,
    Latest driver for 10.6 : 3017.104.ps
    Setting to check :
    Queue name : PS
    Enable EtherTalk
    LPD port : from auto to PS
    Software version :
    Controller plus PS role 1.100.21
    5. I have (manually) deleted the all the FujiXerox drivers from /Library/Printers/ then repair permissions, then reinstalled the latest version of the Fuji Xerox driver from 10.6
    WEIRDNESS
    1. With the 10.6.x client, when the drivers are first installed, if I create a simply indesign file, I can print directly to the Fuji Xerox. If I then attempt to print out a previously created indesign document, it will pause the printer and the console (CUPS error_log) will display the above result. If I switch my printer to the Mac Pro 10.5.8 sharing the printer, the same document can print out via the hosted Fuji Xerox.
    2. The Mac Pro 10.5.8 can print all documents directly to the Fuji Xerox regardless of the format of the document. It is also able to share the printer with the dept. This is the sole means of the dept being able to print out artwork.
    3. Prior to the firmware upgrade I have tried an iMac printing/hosting the Fuji Xerox via direct USB cable. The same behaviour as above were experienced.
    4. This model of Fuji Xerox only supports LDP or direct USB connection.
    5. I have tried using the Bonjour address to configure the printer but the results are no better nor no worse. At one stage, all the iMacs were able to print sucessfully for a day but then 'stopped working' (as reported by the studio manager). They then switch back to the Mac Pro hosting the printer to continue working.
    6. I discovered that if the drivers are installed and then a Permission repair carried out (via Disk Utility), it would change all the driver permissions for the files in the /Library/Printers/FujiXerox. When attempting to print (with the revised permissions), the 'print' button would not 'work'; the print dialog would present until Cancel was selected. It was almost like changing the permissions has lock out the functionality of being able to print. Manually moving the FujiXerox to Trash and reinstalling the drivers reverted the printer back to the above behaviour.
    7. I discovered that when installing the printer, using LPD, it is better to allow the default settings. If I stuplated that the Fuji Xerox is a two bin set up, rather then a single bin set up, I can not print out from any application. If, I left settings as default, my assumption is that the apps can mange the printer features.
    I've been working on this for a while now and this is driving me crazy. I would appreciate any suggestions. Has anyone come across this issue before ? Any ideas ?
    Thank you,
    Fred

    Hi Pahu,
    Thanks for your reply. I noticed that you have replied to a number of other postings as well - you're a good sort !! Your knowledge and contribution to this forum is much appreciated and very welcome.
    Yes, this is a curly problem. I've actually been trying to resolve it for several months. Interesting the c2255 is not stated as being supported under Apple's Fuji drivers release for SN. The driver has to be downloaded directly from Fuji Xerox. The following is from the c2255 Config page,

    Printer Name "DocuPrint C2255
    What is interesting is that this problem occurs with all the 10.6.x macs. There is a Mac Pro that has been upgrade to 10.6; an iMac that has had a complete rebuild with 10.6; two iMacs that have been upgraded from 10.5.x and two new iMacs that came preinstalled with 10.6.2. None of these Macs can direct connect to the Fuji Xerox c2255. Only the 10.5.8 Mac can direct connect to the FX c2255 and can host (or share) the FX c2255 printer to the rest of the network.
    One of the bizarra aspects is that the all the Macs can print text files, offices docs, web pages, etc, etc directly to the Fuji Xerox c2255 without any problem. BUT try to print a pdf file from preview or from Indesign and it resorts back to the status described earlier. Oddily enough, if I create a simple pdf in Indesign (circle, squares, a paragraph of text), I can print out the file using Indesign, directly to the printer. If I import one of the previously created documents, the printer reverts to the status described earlier. HOWEVER, if I take the same document and print via the Mac Pro 10.5.8 hosting/sharing the printer, the document will print without any problem. What the... ??!?!?!
    I thought it might be a firmware problem but following the onsite service of the printer, I think I can rule that out.
    Can you see anything that I might be missing ???
    Thank you,
    Fred
