Is it possible to turn of DHCP server and still route?

I would like to use my airport extreme as a router but have another computer be the DHCP server. It looks like if I turn on routing DHCP turns on and there is no way to turn it off.
Thanks for any help.

That's pretty unfortunate. It seems like a pretty normal thing to do. So I am going to have to have a separate router just because airport extreme doesn't support this. Seems like most of the routers out there do allow this.
Thanks.

Windows DHCP Server and Linux DHCP Relay Agent

We are trying to organize a VLAN (say VLAN 1) for guests who must be assigned IP addresses from a DHCP server in a different VLAN (VLAN 2). This DHCP server is configured with two scopes - 172.16.0.0/24 (for VLAN 2) and 172.16.4.0/24 (for the Guests
VLAN 1). The DHCP server successfully distributes addresses to clients in its VLAN (it has the IP address 172.16.0.2). For the clients in the other VLAN a DHCP Relay Agent has been setup on the router. It is DHCRELAY running on Linux (CentOS) which has
been configured to accept the DHCPDISCOVER broadcasts coming on the VLAN1 interface of the router and forward these to the DHCP server. The IP address of the VLAN1 interface of the router is 172.16.4.254 and on the VLAN2 interface - 172.16.0.254
The problem is that the DHCP server won't respond with a DHCPOFFER message to the relay agent. I have traced the frames on the router and on the DHCP server. They arrive on the DHCP server with the correct GIADDR of the relay agent. According to all documentation,
if a scope has been configured on the DHCP server and it receives a unicast message with the GIADDR set by a relay agent that matches one of the configured scopes, the DHCP server must send a unicast DHCPOFFER to the relay agent. But it doesn't.
Here is what Wireshark reports (ignore the Destination port unreachable messages, the DHCP service was stopped at the time Wireshark was running)
When the service is running, there are just DHCPDISCOVERs - no OFFER. You can see that the server has the two scopes configured:
The relay agent seems to work normally - it forwards the DHCPDISCOVERs to the server continuously (tried many times with ipconfig /renew on the client).
I read many posts about this problem. Some users had other services running on the DHCP server that used the DHCP port, but I don't have such an issue (you see that when the service is stopped, an ICMP port unreachable is sent which is correct). Others however
did not find a solution. Am I missing something? Is there something specific when using the DHCRELAY agent from DHCPD? Can I turn on some verbose logging to track this down? Thanks in advance.

WIth DHCP, there is really nothing to configure. If the Relay Agent/IP Helper is pointing to it, and the VLAN subnet exactly matches the scope subnet, then it should just work.
What I've seen in the VLAN config is either a static route back to the subnet the DHCP server itself is sitting on is not configured or incorrectly configured, or there are ports blocked (need UDP, too, since that's what DHCP uses to pass the OFFER), and
other necessary ports are opened, then it should just work.
Sometimes NIC teaming on the DHCP server will cause it. Not sure. Microsoft doesn't support teaming prior to Windwos 2012, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't work. Don't get me wrong, teaming works nicely, but they just don't support it because they never
certified the drivers, that's all.
The issues I've seen with DHCP relays and VLANs in the forums are usually based on misconfigs in the VLAN or ports blocked. Sometimes we'll refer to call Microsoft Support for specific, hands-on assistance. And searching the threads, from what
I've found that if they did call support, they've never posted back what the problem was based on or the resolution. I can post a couple of them for you to read through, but there were never any response with the actual resolution.

Setting Up Time Capsule as a DHCP server in the router portion

Hello
I have converted my existing wireless router and network hard drive to a single time capsule. My old router was setup as a DHCP server and I had the IP range set to 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.50 and had a IMac, Windows PC and Copier connected to the EtherNet ports and my home network ran perfectly but only at 100MPS.
I bought the time capsule to eliminate the old router and network hard rive to a single unit to free up space, but I can't figure out how to set up the time capsule router as a DHCP server? Every time I try and change the router address range and tell the software to configure the time capsule, I get errors saying my DNS range is not valid and the IP range is conflicting to the Internet settings?
My old linksys router was so easy to setup, I just selected DHCP, gave it a range and the router took care of the IP address for the Internet. I consider myself a smart guy but apple has made this a little difficult.
I would also like to setup the time capsule so it show up as an external drive in my mobileme account so I can access my files when I am on the road. HELP!!!

In the Internet panel and Internet Connection tab of AirPort Utility, do you have "Configure IPv4" set to "Using DHCP" and "Connection Sharing" set to "Share a public IP address"?
I would also like to setup the time capsule so it show up as an external drive in my mobileme account so I can access my files when I am on the road. HELP!!!
You can set that in the Advanced panel, MobileMe tab.

DHCP server and ip helper-address issue

Question,
By accident I had configured an IP HELPER-ADDRESS on a VLAN interface pointing to a DHCP server with an IP addrees in the same VLAN ( ip subnet ).
Some users had complaints and there were BAD ADDRESS entries in our DHCP server registered.
Can anyone explain to me why this is an issue please ?
My guess is that the the DHCP server receives the DHCPREQUEST from the client via the braodcast request and via the unicast request from the ip helper-address configuration. But does this really interfere with the DHCPACK and DHCPOFFER packets afterwards ?

Alex,
I've not been able to capture the network packets but I can understand if the server would send DHCPNACK requests ( wxhich would be a normal process ).
I just don't understand why so many users suddenly have issues and my DHCP scope is filling up with BAD ADDRESSES.
My assumption is that the client receives 2 valid DHCP responses ( one form the actual DHCP server and another one from the router, acting as DHCP relay agent ) and acknowledges them, but the DHCP process is somewhere corrupted ( either on the DHCP server or the DHCP client ).
I want a technical explanation for this issue :-)

How do I turn auto-correct off and still have a spell check?

How do I turn auto-correct off and still have a spell check?

I do not believe this.. you can not disable auto correct without disabling the spell checker.. I am struck dumb by this.. I recently bought a mac for the first time.. ive always used windows.. there are more thngs like this than i expected.. I actually find this so ignorant I am lost for words.. this auto correct is a nightmare for me.. and has already caused me a lot of trouble because I have sent emails where words have been changed and i didnt notice and I have unknowingly insulted people.. i use a regular spell checker quite often but apparently I simply have no choice with safari.. oh well I am going to have to find another browser then.. goodbye safari!.. I also use a lot of shortened words and names etc etc.. like for eg I used the shortened word for problems "probs" and it changes it to "probe" and then i go back and change it back to WHAT I WANT TO SAY and it changes it AGAIN!!!!
Does anyone else feel like this is yet another example of how, more and more, we are being treated like morons?
Ok I'll try to stop ranting.. the real point is it should be possible to have a spell checker without auto correct..

VPN between ASA5505 Easy VPN Server and 881G Router as Easy VPN Client

Hello,
I have problem in VPN between ASA5505 Easy VPN Server and 881G Router as Easy VPN Client. ASA 5505 have 7.2.3 software and 881G router have 15.1 software.
881G is configured as hardware client in network exstention mode, and it is placed behind NAT. ASA5505 is working as server. Same VPN Group works correctly from VPN software clients.
When I send traffic from 881G client side, in show cryto sessin detail I see encrypted packets. But with same command I dont see decrypted packet on ASA5505 side. On both devices Phase 1 and Phase 2 are UP.
VPN is working when I replace ASA5505 with ASA5510 correctly with have 8.4.6 software. But problem is that i need to do this VPN between ASA5505 and 881G.
Can you help me, how can I debug or troubleshoot this problem ?
I am unable to update software on ASA5505 side.

Yes, you can keep the apps and music, but not transfer them to your new account, so if you want to download past purchases or update any of them you'll need the password of the apple ID with which you first bought them.

How to DHCP Server with NO ROUTER on Server Admin panel field?

Hi all!
I'm having a little problem.
I have two completely different networks, with different purposes, one is 10.0.10.X and the other is 192.168.10.X. My networks is like this:
Internet------Wifi Router (192.168.10.250) -----iMacs AirPoirt (192.168.10.X)
MacPro (10.0.10.100)-----iMacs Ethernet (10.0.10.X)
Great, is so simple. So I had a DHCP server (Windows blerg) on the 10.0.10.X (NOT MAC OS X SERVER) and everything works perfect, since on the Windows DHCP Server I'm not forced to fill the router/gateway and leaving it blank makes the iMacs have just one router/gateway from the 192.168.10.X lease from the Wifi Router.
Now I'm planning to migrate the DHCP Service to the Mac OS X Server (Snow Leopard Server), I fiddled a bit and found that I can't use DHCP Server on Mac OS Server leaving router field blank and if I type ANYTHING, my iMacs will NOT access the internet through 192.162.10.X since now there's two gateways (from 10.0.10.X that Server Admin panel forced me to fill and from 192.168.10.X that HAS to have one gateway and it's the correct one).
I've tried to fill with the 192.168.10.X gateway but throws a warning saying that is not on the same subnet.
I really don't want to re-route or mix the traffic for many reasons.
So I ask, is there any possible way to NOT fill or bypass or do anything to make DHCP Server service from Mac OS X Server not have a gateway/router?
The only way I'm managing to do it now is to use manually entered IPs on the iMacs, but it's 10 iMacs and I guess for some services like netboot etc I need DHCP.
Cheers,

Lets assume that before you had computers with both Ethernet and WiFi connections, they were able to access the Internet via WiFi and talk amongst themselves via Ethernet. The Ethernet addresses were not (in theory) accessible from the WiFi network and hence not accessible from the Internet. Presumably you intended this for security reasons.
If so, you were completely mistaken. Even if you turned on a Software firewall on each of these iMacs to in theory block traffic going between the two networks you still have a potentially insecure setup. This is because traffic can reach the iMacs via WiFi. Once hypothetical malicious traffic has invaded an iMac via WiFi it can take control over the computer and within that computer reach out via its Ethernet port to other Ethernet computers.
The only way to ensure complete security is not to have any link between the two networks at all. If one of the computers is linked to both then you have a potential path for attacks to travel across.
So what are you really trying to do? If you want two totally separate networks with one having absolutely no link to the outside world then this is simple and is as follows.
NETWORK1 Internet------Wifi Router (192.168.10.250) -----iMacs AirPoirt (192.168.10.X)
NETWORK2 MacPro (10.0.10.100)-----different iMacs Ethernet (10.0.10.X) with WiFi turned off
You could define the default gateway for NETWORK2 as being the DHCP server itself. No computer on NETWORK2 would be able to access the Internet and hence it would be totally secure.
If however you want all computers to be able to access the Internet then you need a link between them. Are you merely wanting to segregate WiFi traffic as it might be insecure and evesdropped on? If so then the following is a better approach
                         WiFi clients (192.168.10.x)
Internet ----- AirPort Extreme (192.168.10.250) ------ Hardware FireWall does NAT (10.0.10.1) ---- MacPro (10.0.10.100) ---- iMacs via Ethernet (10.0.10.x)
The WiFi clients would not be able to directly access your 10.0.10.x network as they are blocked by the FireWall. However if you have say a Laptop that you want ot use on WiFi but still access your server on your internal secure LAN you would do this by having the server run the VPN server component. The WiFi client would then connect via the VPN server and this would ensure all the network traffic going over the WiFi is encrypted using industry standard IPSec encryption. In this second scenario the MacPro (presumably your server) would have the FireWall as the default gateway, and the FireWall would have the Internet router as its default gateway. You could set the Firewall to forward VPN traffic to the server or use the second Ethernet port on the server to accept VPN traffic on the 192.168.10.x LAN.
This is my own setup is something like
                        AirPort
                           |
Internet router --- Public IP range --- (WAN) FireWall (LAN) --- LAN Switch --- Server Port1 for normal traffic
                                                 |(DMZ)                                    |
                                                 +----------------------------- Server Port2 for VPN

WRT160NL built in DHCP server and WEB server stop to work

Hello all!
My home network based on the WRT160NL with one wireline PC, two wireless PCs and wireless printer works with no problems - connections are at full speed, no drop outs, wireless and wireline QOS is perfect. But then quite regularly every two or three days suddenly the router internal DHCP servers stops to work - I see with the wireshark that my wireline PC sends the DHCP requests to the router but router does not reply to them. If at the same moment the other PC's are allready in use and got theirs IP before they can surf the internet uninterrupted. Only router reboot helps to solve this situation. After the reboot DHCP server immediately acknowledges DHCP request from the PC and assigns him his IP number.
Sometime this situation occurs when IP address is already assigned, I can surf the internet, routing works, I can ping the router but I can not access the router's built in web server. Neither via IE, neither via FF.
I do not use P2P programs, IP traffic over the router is very light - no internal traffic between PCs, no file transfers to the USB flash key and WAN internet connection is 1Mbs. I have upgraded to the latest firmware Ver.1.00.01.17. Nevertheless problem occurs quite regularly about every three days.
I try to reproduce the problem more frequently and there is the way how to do that - I start to watch IP TV on my wireline PC (usually I watch my IP TV via the STB connected directly to the DSL modem) so IP TV multicast now goes through the router. It is about 5 - 6 Mbs and about 500 pps of IP traffic. This IP TV stream very often causes internal web server and DHCP server to stop. So although I can watch IP TV and surf the web on my PC with no problems, if other PC's are powered up during this situation they will not get theirs IP addresses.
I see in other posts on this forum that similar behavior can be triggered also with the heavy read/write traffic to the attached USB flash key.
So my conclusion would be:
- are the problems above known to Linksys/Cisco, do they acknowledge them, do they work on them
- when we can expect new firmware release - can we expect new release for this model at all
Best regards

Ridcully thank you for your post, I did not execute the procedure you suggested. Prior to execute it I want to get more background on it? Why do you think that reconfiguring from the factory defaults would solve my problem? Are you 100% sure that this is the solution or are you just guessing?
Router offers backup and restore functionality where you can store current configuration into file on PC and latter restore it. Can I use this functionality in your procedure or should I reconfigure all router settings manually?

OS X server, DHCP Server and random blocked IPs

Hello !
I use a Mac Mini as a DHCP server for my wireless network. It is connected to internet through a wired modem and gives an IP (through Airport) to the computers that ask for it.
Everything works quite fine... Unless, sometimes, clients obtain an adress but cannot browse the web nor connect to local network. The ip is just "blocked".
If i try to use it on an other computer (manually), it just doens't work.
So, I must change the ip, by changing the DHCP Name of the computer (otherwise, the server always give the same adress), to fix the problem.
What is strange, is that a few time after, the incriminated ip works new ! Until it is down again...

Dnar,
Thanks for the follow up bit about using the smbutil statshares command. I used that and could confirm that I am also able to force it to connect with smb2. Oddly though, in the stat share info it still says "AUTO_NEGOTIATE"
SMB_NEGOTIATE AUTO_NEGOTIATE
SMB_VERSION SMB_2.1
But maybe that just means something else and not the fact that it did not auto negotiate to SMB. I guess for now this will be what I have to do to use smb2.
I think in this case the AUTO_NEGOTIATE merely means it will auto negotiate a connection between SMB1, SMB2, and (from your data) also SMB2.1 this would have nothing to do with auto negotiating between SMB2 and AFP, which from this thread appears broken.
I also would like to thank Brandon for the tip about smbutil statshares, I had been looking for a simple way to tell what version of SMB was being used to test my NAS.
For everyone's benefit, it would appear from the above that whilst Apple advertise Mavericks as using SMB2 they have gone as far as implementing SMB2.1 and merely list it only as SMB2 for simplicity and due to the fact there is not a huge different between SMB2 and SMB2.1

DHCP, OSX and Dlink Router doesn't get anywhere

I'm a Mac newbie. I have a cable modem, a Dlink 713p wireless router. I'm running OSX 10.3 on an old iMac.
ACT 1: I have a few PC's running wireless to this router without a problem but, when I connect my cat5 cable to the iMac via built-in ethernet port, I get no connection to the router with DHCP (or manual setup for that matter.) The corresponding activity light for the connection on the router blink at a constant 1 sec on and 1 sec off rate.
Here's what Dlink say on their tech support page about hooking up a Mac to this router:
How do I configure my Mac to work with the D-Link gateways like the DI-704, DI-707, DI-713 and DI-713P?
Use the following settings in the TCP/IP control panel.
Step 1 Go to the Apple Menu>Control Panels>TCP/IP.
Step 2 From the Ethernet drop-down menu at the top of the control panel select Built-in if you have a built-in network card or Other if you have installed a network card in your computer.
Step 3
Configure : Using DHCP Server
IP address : 192.168.0.xxx
Router address : 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
* If you are not getting an IP address from the residential gateway, you can configure the gateway manually.
Connect Via :Ethernet-built-in
Configure : Manually
* You will now be in a screen that will allow you to enter in the settings manually.
IP address: 192.168.0.12
Router address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Name server : 192.168.0.1.
I followed this and I still got nothing.
ACT 2: I have a Linksys USB100m, a USB ethernet adapter. I've read that some people have had this working without any problems with OSX and running it without specific drivers. Yeah, that's some people and it doesn't include me.
The system info show that the Linksys adapter is found but there is no way to configure it for the network (choices are built-in ethernet or built-in modem.) When I connect this to the router I get a constant blinking activity light.
What am I doing wrong???
imac indigo, 400, 640mb ram, 30gb Mac OS X (10.3)

I'm not sure if this applies to your early iMac but there is a known issue with the one I have, originally a 266mHz tray loader. Its ethernet port works but fails to autonegotiate properly with some routers. IE it never gets past deciding to to run at 10 or 100 speed. I tore my hair out for a while with this issue since I knew my iMac worked just fine on a crossover cable with an older Mac that only ran at 10 speed. That was actually the key. The solution was to put a cheap used 10 speed only switch between the iMac and the D-link router. That way the iMac did not hang at trying to negotiate speed since there was only one option. Now it all work just fine.
PS. does anyone know if you can get a simple switch or hub that can be set to only do 100 speed and not offer 10 as an option? That would allow my iMac to talk faster on our local network.

Can I host my music or photos on a server and still sync with my iPhone and iPad through my MacBook Pro?

My new MacBook Pro does not have enough room on the Flash drive to hold all my photos and music. So I want to save them to a server, yet still be able to sync with iTunes on my MacBook Pro. Any ideas?

Nevermind. I see you can change the location of your music files. I'll try that.

Is it possible to turn of DHCP server and still route?
