IP Addresses of Devices on Network?

Is there anyway I can get my Airport Extreme to list the IP addresses for all the devices (Macs, printers, etc.), both wired and wireless, that are attached to it?
Thanks,
Kelly

OK, I'm going to guess at a few things here. You previously had your devices set up with another router and the AirPort Extreme is a new device that you have recently added, correct?
Right now, the AEBS is assigning IP addresses to your devices automatically starting with 10.0.1.2. This will work fine unless there is a reason for one or more of your devices to have a "static" IP address.
If you need to assign a static IP address to a device, you will need open up AirPort Utility again, Manual Setup, Internet icon and click the DHCP tab below the icons.
Look for the DHCP Reservations area and click the + (plus) button at the bottom of the list. You will be able to assign a description for the device, (example "HP Printer") and assign it a specific IP address. To do this, you must also enter the MAC address of the device. You can do this for as many different devices as you wish. If you want to use the previous static IPs that these devices had, that should work.
The Apple Airport Networks guide would be something you want to keep handy.

Reserve IP address by device?

I have a variety of Apple devices on my network, using an Airport Extreme router. (Devices include a Mac Mini, MacBook Pro, iPhones, etc.)
My Mac Mini (Snow Leopard 10.6.8) acts as an HTPC, and I would like it to always have the same 10.0.1.X address. Can someone tell me how to set it so the Mac Mini always uses 10.0.1.2, for example? My devices sometimes change addresses, if I restart the router or a device.
I tried going to System Preferences->Network->Wi-Fi->Advanced->TCP/IP-> and from here I chose "Using DHCP with Manual Address" from the drop-down menu, and I entered 10.0.1.2 as the address and applied the change ... but I wasn't able to access the HTPC from Google Chrome using the 10.0.1.2 address as I normally can.
(I set it back to "Using DHCP" and renewed the lease, and I was able to use Chrome to access my HTPC at the address it generated -- 10.0.1.13.)

I tried going to System Preferences->Network->Wi-Fi->Advanced->TCP/IP-> and from here I chose "Using DHCP with Manual Address" from the drop-down menu, and I entered 10.0.1.2 as the address and applied the change ... but I wasn't able to access the HTPC from Google Chrome using the 10.0.1.2 address as I normally can.
Chances are, the 10.0.1.2 address has already been assigned to another device on your network, so it would not be available in that case.
What happens if you set the address for the Mac Mini as 10.0.1.13 in System Preferences? Or better yet, assign an IP address that would be higher than addresses than other devices on your network normally receive.....to eliminate possible conflicts. Try something like 10.0.1.25 or 10.0.1.50 for example.
Most wireless routers....including Apple....will also allow you to reserve a given IP address for a specific product. If you have an Apple router that is in charge of DHCP address assignments for your network, another option would be to have the Apple router assign IP addresses. You have to know the MAC Address of the device if you do it this way, which is a unique ID number for a device.

I bought Time Capsule specifically to back up my computer at work. Only my computer. There are many computers within my department. I completed the steps the best of my knowledge but was unsure of which option to click. I clicked "I want to create a new wireless network". At the onset the instructions said I needed to connect with an ethernet cable, which I did. But I have no desire to connect to the internet, print from it, or have others access. I did deselect guest options, and I did put in passwords. But at the end of the process I got the message, "This device & its network services will be temporarily unavailable. Are you sure you want to continue."
I was worried this would shut me down and I wouldn't be able to continue to work. I don't necessarily need to connect wirelessly. It is connected via ethernet cable from machine to device.
Can you advise me how to continue? Did I choose the wrong options?

I bought an external hard drive called "Seagate Backup Plus" From the Apple store to back up everything on my computer and anything new on my computer. It came with Time Machine. The external hard drive disk had 1 or 2 Terabytes. Time Machine says "next backup: When disk is connected." "Oldest backup: July 2, 2014." & Also "Latest back July, 2."

Using manual IP address only for specific networks

For my home network I use DHCP with manual address because I have to forward some ports specifically to my computer. However this causes problems when connecting to other networks. For some reason this setting stays active even when using other networks. Therefore, I can't connect to say my school network because the setting has to be set to plain DHCP. Is there a way to use manual IP address only for specific networks?

System Preferences > Network > Locations and add a location for your home with its manual settings. Add a location for other DHCP locations. Then when you want to connect at another DHCP location select that location from your locations dropdown.

PCI Device and Network Controller uninstalled

Having problems with downloading a pci device and network controller driver for presario cq57? Need help. my hardware id is PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5209&SUBSYS_3577103C&REV_01

Hi:
You need to install the Realtek Card Reader driver from your notebook's support and driver page for the PCI device.
Please do the following so I can find out what model wireless card your model uses...
Go to the device manager, find the Other Devices category, and click on the Network Controller needing drivers.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the network controller window.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that and select the second item on the list (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters that begin with PCI\VEN.

Bluetooth "unknown" hardware address showing up as Network Sharing address

On a brand new out-of-the-box iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) OS 10.7.3, the Bluetooth "unknownxxxxxxxxxxxx" hardware address showing up in Network Sharing preferences as shared name under File Sharing, Remote Login and Remote Management. the first portion is the same as the Bluetooth hardware address for the Apple Wireless Keyboard and Apple Magic Mouse that came with and is connected to this computer. I have an existing Magic Trackpad connected that has a completely different hardware address.
I have never seen this before, and it does not do this on my iMac (27-inch Late 2009) OS 10.7.3.
Any ideas? Is this an indication of a potential hardware/networking issue? Would a clean install perhaps clear it up? I would like to know if I should exchange the machine or if it's really nothing.
Thanks!

On each of your machines, use
Applications -> Utilities -> Network Utility -> Info
and cycle through all the *Network Interfaces* checking the *Hardware Address*, which will be of the form nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
and see if it matches 00:0d:93:b0:ef:be.
You will have to click on the *Network Interfaces* pop-up menu to select alternate interfaces to check their MAC addresses.
Alternately, you can look in
System Preferences -> Network
Select each interface, and click Advanced and look at the Ethernet tab. Repeat for each interface. Actually a lot more clicking.
Or from Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal use the ifconfig command. It will list all your network interfaces at once. You then have to dig through the output to find the MAC addresses.
ifconfig
or
ifconfig | grep ether
If you have VMware or Parallels installed it will create a virtual ethernet interface.
And of course you have an ethernet MAC address as well as an Airport MAC address.
However, if you have in intruder, change your WAP2 password. That would knock the intruder off the LAN for a little while. If you did that and the address stayed, you could fairly sure that it was one of your systems as only you could get the new WAP2 password to your systems so quickly.
NOTE: It is not easy to crack WAP2. They would have to do some serious computing and or be very lucky guessing to crack it quickly.

The device is network locked.contact your service provider

hi
i have Z10
the device is network locked.contact your service provider.
now im in UAE network provider DU.
please solve this issue

This is a peer to peer forum. Most often those volunteering to assist help you help yourself.
That said, if the device is SIM locked to one carrier and you are using another carrier, you need to unlock the device. If that is the issue, see http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB03889 Additionally, there are online services that will sell you the unlock code.

Nautilus NFS shares listed under both Devices and Network

I have several NFS shares from my home server that I mount using fstab. I am running a fully up to date installation of Gnome 3.12. However, as my subject indicates, my NFS shares appear under both Devices and Network in Nautilus. I've done some searching and not found much about this. It is redundant and most importantly space wasting to have two lists of the same entries. Is there a way I can eliminate this duplication? Thanks.
Here is what I'm using in fstab to mount the shares:
nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount,x-systemd.device-timeout=10,rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,timeo=14,hard,intr,user 0 0

I indicated that I was trying to mount several NFS shares off my home server. I should have mentioned that these are NOT NFSv4 shares. Originally, I had the mount points inside my home folder. I've since moved them in the /mnt directory and don't have duplicate entries. Well, I don't have any entries under either Network or Devices. I've made links to the directories where the NFS shares are mounted. I was more curious if this was a bug with Nautilus or my own error as having the mount points in my home directory with other file browsers such as Dolphin in KDE did not yield duplicate entries with the same fstab mount options.
I guess the long and short of it is that if you are using Nautilus, have your NFS mount points outside your home folder.
Thanks.

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

Able to ping an IP address on my home network, but the device name fails

Hey there, it is possible this was answered previously, though I'm having difficulty finding the data.
What is happening is I am trying to get my MacBook to work where it can use my network device names instead of using the actual IP address (ie: MAINPC or PRINTER instead of 192.168.0.3). My PCs are having no issues resolving the names at this point, it is just the Mac. I'd like to be able to use the names as I prefer to use dynamic IP addressing on a lease of 24 hours, and it is just nicer to deal with mentally. The Mac can see the other machines in finder as well, so it looks like file sharing is set up correctly (The PCs can see the Mac as well using SMB).
The error message I am receiving is when I "ping MAINPC":
cannot resolve MAINPC: Unknown host
(The same happens with the printer)
I will try to find out how to create static IPs on my local network if that is what it takes, just wondering if anyone else has run in to this issue, and resolved it.
Ultimately I am trying to set up access to my PC's perforce server, and knowing the address is crucial (I'll attack the firewall issues once this is resolved). Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm fairly new to the Mac experience.

Likely just an issue with the router you have. I have an ActionTec Q1000 rented from ISP - it does the same thing. Static IPAs versus dynamic ones won't help you.
Prior to its untimely death, a 2-Wire 2701HG-D router, also rented from the ISP before they replaced it with the Q1000, was robust enough to be able to resolve LAN hostnames to LAN IPAs. But no more.... Manually associating the hostname to the IPA in the Q1000's config pages does nothing.
So I bet you are just seeing the same lack of robustness in your router.
If worried about DHCP changing the IPA of a device, setting up a range of static and a range of dynamic IPAs in the router will help. The router should have a section in its config pages to "enable DHCP." In there, there is likely a place where you can define a range of DHCP addresses. Anything outside that range but within the subnet mask would be available for static assignment. For example, suppose your subnet is 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0). IF you declare your DHCP pool to be 192.168.0.128-192.168.0.254, then 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.127 will be available for static IPA assignment (I am assuming the router has assigned 192.168.0.1 to itself).
With the Macs, then, as you probably know, this is set in  > Sys Prefs > Network > {interface} Advanced > TCP/IP. I usually choose configure "using DHCP with manual address." That saves me having to enter subnet mask and router IPA. But you could just as easily use "manually." Printers and other devices, you'd have to refer to their user guides.

Device on network using same IP address

Occasionally, this dialogue box appears when awakening my iMac. It says:
"Another device on the network is using your computer's IP address (10.0.1.20)", and
continuing in smaller print: "Try connecting again later. If you continue to have problems,
change the IP address of this computer or the IP address on the other device.
Contact the network administrator if you need more information".
I have this Mac, a Mac Laptop, an iPhone, and an iPad connected to my Airport Extreme. What can I do to eliminate this box? It doesn't seem to effect anything when I click "OK", and it disappears. It's just annoying!

The protocol that assigns IP addresses automatically (and makes sure they're unique) is called DHCP. Enable the DHCP server on your base station, and set all the clients to get an address from it.
That is too vague an answer to be practical.
For one, the likelihood is that the DHCP server is already enabled in the AirPort Extreme - or, at least there's already a DHCP server running on the network. If it's already running then 'enabling it' is not going to help. If it's not already running then you just enabled a second DHCP server in the network which is going to cause even more problems.
Besides, you cannot easily "set all the clients to get an address from it". DHCP uses a broadcast protocol to find DHCP servers and, generally, whichever server responds first is the one the client will use. There's no client-side way to tell any given device which DHCP server to use.
Besides, as described, it's not even clear that the IP address is even in use by another DHCP-based client. It could be some other device on the network (printer, maybe?, Blu-Ray player? PS3? X-Box? or even some rogue client) that's configured with a static address.
The actual solution to this problem requires some troubleshooting. You'll need to start off with the base station - it will give you a log of the connected clients listed by MAC address and assigned IP address. Cross reference this list with the known devices (Mac, iPad, and iPhone) and you may find the rogue device. Once you have the MAC address you can start to trace the device on your network.

IP Address of Device on Wireless Network?

How can I find the IP Address of a wireless IP camera which is connected wirelessly to a network device other than the main router?
Would Network Utility work and how would I use it?

Open Network Utility. The initial window displays devices by their connection device (en0, en1, etc.) If you can identify which device is your camera then select it and the IP address will be displayed. Otherwise click on the NetStat tab, select the topmost option, then click on the NetStat button. May take a little while for the info to be collected and displayed. You may then be able to identify the camera's connection information including the device ID that you can then use in the previous window to display the IP address.
If your wireless connection is through your normal router then just open Network preferences, locate the connection port and select. The IP data will be displayed to the right of the port list.

My AirPort Extreme tells me , that I have a private IP address on it's Ethernet WAN port. It is connected to a device or network that is using NAT. How do I fix this?

I'm having problems with my AirPort Extreme , it's saying that I have a private IP and that I need a DNS. Can any one help me

Configure the AirPort Extreme to operate in Bridge Mode.
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the Airport Extreme, then click Edit
Click the Network tab at the top of the window
Change the setting for Router Mode to "Off (Bridge Mode)"
Click Update to save the new settings

Another device on network is using your computer

I have been getting this message since installing Yosemite. All I have done to correct is reset my Airport extreme. We have 2 iPhones, an iPad, and aMacBook Pro. I presume I have to change the IP address on my Desktop computer (iMac). I haven 't a clue how to do or what to change the address to.
Thanks for any help you can lend.

Happy to help.
I too am puzzled that both Apple and AT&T were apparently unaware that you had a modem, not a gateway.
If you had a gateway (which is a combination modem/router on one chassis with 3-4 ethernet ports), and you were configuring your AirPort Extreme to work with that device, then in that case, the correct setting would have been "bridge mode".
+Are there any downsides to sharing a public IP address?+
This is the correct setting for the AirPort Extreme when it is connected to a simple modem (one ethernet port). Since your modem only delivers one IP address, you must have the AirPort Extreme configured to "share that IP address" in order to have the device furnish separate IP addresses to each of your devices on the network.
With the AirPort Extreme in bridge mode, it was passing through the single IP address from the modem and only one device on your network was receiving that IP address. That's why you saw conflicts about another device using the same address.
Sounds like you are all set. This should work very well for you.
