Issue with Mini getting Self Assigned IP from recently purchased AEBS

I'm having a strange issue with the Airport Extreme Base Station I got got today. It can connect to the internet fine but it appears not to be assigning a network ID to my Mini. I can manually assign the proper IP Address & Subnet Mask settings but using "Using DCHP" yields an IP address of 169.254.x.x, a Subnet Mask of 255.255.0.0, and a nonfunctional internet connection. The situation occurs using both Ethernet & AirPort. My Vonage router seems to operate fine so I know the router is working otherwise.

Can you open the Airport Utility, and open the internet connection pane.
Yes
Make sure the connection sharing is set to: share a public IP address (this will turn on both NAT and DHCP on the AEBS)
Did that, no effect
This way, when the Mac is set to "Using DCHP", the IP address should be assigned to the Mac automatically.
Did that, no effect
But make sure you turn OFF the DHCP on the Vonage Router, there can only be one DHCP on a subnet.
Still trying to figure out how to do that on the Vonage router but I should point out when I powered down & completely removed the Vonage router and reset every other device on the network it made no impact.

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

I mean that I sent an email to a contact of mine yesterday. His reply contained a stream of very old emails I had received in 2009 from a totally different contact all together !! The reply email was in my inbox as being from the original person I sent the email to. This is starting to happen more regularly now , so is a problem !

Connectivity Issue: "Airport has a self-assigned ip address..."

I've been using the same wireless network via AT&T with their own wireless modem/router that they provided for the past six months. Never had an issue EVER. Now....suddenly, it says "Airport has a self-assigned ip address and may not be able to connect to the internet."
OK. I jumped on my girlfriends IBM, it and all the other PC computers in our house work FINE. I can also directly connect to the router via an ethernet cable and connect FINE.
So I open up the router settings in my browser and notice that the IP address the router says my computer has is 192.168.1.100. This is not the IP address my network settings displays when I get a DHCP lease. So... I select "manually" instead of "automatically via DHCP" and type in the IP address the router seems to think my computer is. Now in the "show network status window" it says that "Airport is connected to the network" but I still can't connect to the internet.
This is driving me completely bat **** crazy. Nothing has been changed in the wireless settings on my computer, any other computer in the house, or the router itself. This seems to have happened randomly, after searching all over the internet I can't find any solution that works for me. anyone know what's up?

As you may have gathered, this message appears when the computer has failed to obtain an IP number from the router using DHCP, so it self-assigns a fallback number which, since the router doesn't know it, prevents connection to the internet.
The obvious first step is to turn everything off, and then boot the router and each of the computers, one at a time, so that each should get a new DHCP lease. All the IP numbers should be issued and obtained automatically.
This thread offers some solutions, some of which have worked for some posters:

Thunderbolt ethernet gets self assigned ip

I work on a macbook pro retina 13' (10.10.2)and used a Thunderbolt Gigabit adapter for the last half year to connect to our internal server structure.
All of a sudden the thunderbolt adapter stopped working and all I get now is a self assigned IP.
I checked with a lot of help forums but I haven't found a solution which helped me.
What I already did:
- Checked the same adapter with another macbook Pro and I got a valid IP with auto DHCP. So it can't be the adapter or the cable or the router.
- Manually entered the IP, Router, GW ... on the faulty macbook pro, did not solve the problem.
- Deleted the Network plist - did not help
- Removed the Thunderbolt Ethernet from the Network System Preferences, restarted the computer and added it again. Did not help as well.
Can anybody help me?

"So it sounds like you are using the Zoom as and external WiFi card, and you have another WiFi base station acting as your router. Is this correct?"
Yes - its set up the same way you can set up Apple's Airport Express/Extreem's.
And i have no way to run ethernet or powerline ehternet - in a RV
When set up in Client Mode (Ethernet Bridge) the WAN port is where you connect your ethernet cable from your computer (just like on a Airport Express) - the whole thing then connects to and passes the correct (hopfully) info between you comp and the WiFi/Internet device
The LAN Ports are only useed to acsess the web interface to set up the router into Client/Bridge mode - you then need to re-connect to the WAN Port to make it work as a Client/Bridge to the WiFi.
This is what gamers have to do for there x-boxes etc that have only a ethernet port.
When set into Client/Bridge Mode - the LAN ports can not be used and the "Wireless' only connects to the WIFI service you selected in set up.
I got the Zoom router as i can connect my external antenna to it - can not with the apple's.
I am traveling in an RV - so i need to have an External Antenna to get any type of signal at most RV Parks. This Park happens to have a very excelent sinal/WiFi set up.
Now - Last nigt after i wrote the OP - I did do another reset and reset-up of the router itself. 10th time i think. And it worked - connected as it should and gave a good IP even after rebooting the computer.
Go Figure.
So i turned off Sleep in sys pref's and left it on/connected all night - and its still going today. Maybe the issue is in the sleep software interaction - no idea, theats beyond my pay grade. Seems to me if i remeber correctly, the sleep in osx 10.5.x had some issues.
Will up date this if it happens again - or if you have any other info i would be glad to here it.
Thanks

Display Issues with mini (Mid 2010) and LG L246WP

I recently purchased a new mini (Mid 2010 base model) and planned to use it with my 24" LG L246WP monitor, which is about 3 years old. The monitor has VGA, component, and HDMI inputs.
I used an HDMI-to-HDMI cable to connect the mini directly to the monitor, and the output is completely messed up. The mini recognized the monitor (titling the System Preferences > Display dialog with 'L246WP') and set it to the monitor's native resolution of 1920x1200, but on the monitor the image is cropped to what looks like a 4:3 aspect ratio and with part of the image shifted up and left so I cannot view the top menu bar or the left hand side of the desktop. The monitor's on-screen display shows 1080p in this mode.
The Display dialog also gives me an option for 1080p. I can select this and use the Underscan slider to resize the desktop output to fit on the screen, but it is still shifted left and must be resized smaller than the available display space (plus the total image is only 1080 pixels, not using the monitor's full native screen). In this mode, 1080p also shows on the monitor's on-screen display.
I tried 1024x768 to see if I could get a properly-positioned image, but the desktop was shifted just like in the 1920x1200 case and the monitor's on-screen display status still reported 1080p.
The monitor has a menu setting under an HDMI heading with "Video" and "PC" options, but changing this selection does not make a difference.
Since the monitor came out before HDMI was as widespread as it is today, it came with a DVI-to-HDMI cable, so I also tried using that cable with the HDMI-to-DVI adapter that came with the mini, but this did not make a difference either.
To prove it wasn't the HDMI cable, I connected the mini to my Samsung 6300 series 40" LED HDTV and with some tweaking of the Underscan slider the displayed image filled the screen perfectly.
I've searched the Internet and various forum threads (i.e. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1167222&page=63) seem to indicate this monitor can send a corrupted EDID that causes issues, especially with nVidia graphics drivers. On Windows you can use registry or driver hacks to override the EDID with the correct values, but on OS X this doesn't seem possible (I was hoping for a Terminal one-liner but it seems this doesn't exist). I have seen some mentions of the shareware SwitchResX (http://www.madrau.com), which looks like it gives you the option to override resolution settings, but I haven't tried this yet.
It also appears to me that the monitor is always interpreting the signal (or the mini is always sending the signal) as 1080p, even if I've set 1920x1200 in the Display dialog. I don't know if this is a defect in the monitor where it always assumes the HDMI input is a 1080p source (previous I used it with an Xbox 360 with no issues but that was 1080p HDMI), or if is a bug in the graphics drivers (or at least a lack of flexibility / miscommunication to the user trying to handle a corrupt EDID).
I asked my local Genius Bar for advice today (without bringing any hardware in) but was not told anything I didn't already know.
I'm trying to determine the best way to work through this issue. *My questions are:*
Would it make any difference if I used a Mini DisplayPort-to-DVI adapter (and then my DVI-to-HDMI cable to the monitor's HDMI input)?
What about a Mini DisplayPort-to-VGA adapter? In the past I used a 12" Powerbook (via a mini-DVI-to-VGA adapter) with this monitor and had no display issues like this, but I'd prefer to stick with a digital connection on my brand new mini.
Is SwitchResX the only practical way in OS X to override a corrupt EDID and force the mini to output a certain resolution?
Besides the various adapters and SwitchResX, is there anything else I should try before buying a new monitor?

Hello EPWilson4984.
I have been experiencing the same issues you described. Connecting my brand new Mac Mini to my Westinghouse 24”monitor (L2410NM, 1920x1200 pixel resolution) produces a very fuzzy and washed out image quality. The Mac recognizes the monitor and applies the right resolution (1920x1200), but it looks just awful. The EDID info is definitely not right.
Now, I tried your suggestion (DVI-to-HDMI), and similar suggestions from other threads, but nothing works. Nothing seems to work at all.
The main input for the monitor is HDMI, so whatever cable I use, in the end always has to connect to the monitor via HDMI. I tried all these combinations with zero success:
Mac mini -> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
Mac mini -> displayport –HDMI adapter-> HDMI cable -> monitor (result: fuzzy and blurry image)
Mac mini -> displayport –DVI adapter-> DVI-to-HDMI cable -> monitor (result: it gives me a blank screen, no image at all)
I’m running out of options. Don’t know what to do. The 24” monitor produces beautiful, crisp images when hooked to my Windows 7 PC. It looks horrible when connected to my brand new Mac Mini.
Any alternatives you may have come across? Please let me know, thank you.

Self Assigned IP from my macbook pro to xbox through ethernet...

I live in a college dorm and i have been using internet sharing through an ethernet cable to connect to xbox live and it has been working fine for months now, but has now recently decided to make everything difficult and it continuously just says self assigned IP address cannot connect to internet. Every video and forum I have tried reading generally refers back to something involving the router however in this case my wifi is working no problem its just the ethernet cable going to my xbox that has the self assigned IP problem. If anyone could help me it would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

It isn't clear what you are trying to do. Why are you connected to the Xbox? Is the Xbox suppose to share the internet through your mac?
Since there is so little information, I'm going to go through a lot of stuff you might already know.
You have two network interfaces on your Mac. en0 which is the cable and en1 which is the wireless.
IP addresses are assigned through a process called DHCP. When you have a self-assigned address there is no DHCP server.
The DHCP server -may- be on a router or it may be on several different devices such as a Unix computer (or Linux) specifically set up to provide DHCP addresses. Since you are in a dorm, is is quite likely a specifically configured host is providing DHCP.
Your wireless network will get a different DHCP address than your wired network. For example, 128.1.0.0/16 might be the network assigned to the wireless to support 253x253 different hosts (a lot of hosts and the main reason to keep DHCP off of the router). And something like 129.1.0.0/16 would be assigned to the wired network.
The DHCP server for the wireless network WILL NOT provide an address for en0.
NOTE: I have never used Apple's Internet Sharing and I -assume- that when you share that the Mac acts like a bridge.
I also assume that this is what you are attempting to do with your Xbox. This would mean that the Xbox would have to initiate a DHCP request for an address that is forwarded (bridged) through the Mac to the DHCP server. This request includes the Xbox hardware address. Now comes the part that is going to make you cry. MAC addresses are 48 bits and look like AB:CD:EF:12:34:56. The first 24-bits are assigned to a manufacturer and used for specific products. When the DHCP request gets to the DHCP server, it knows that the request is from an Xbox. Your campus may have decided that you've been playing too many games and does not respond with an IP address for the Xbox.
You can check this out by using a tool called tcpdump or you can install Wireshark. If you want to go down this rabbit hole, it is going to require quite a bit of time and you'll end up becoming quite well educated in how networking works. People go to school for years to understand this. :-)
Or, maybe you just forgot to ensure internet sharing was on.
If you have some other kind of wiring setup then perhaps you have a different problem.
BTW, when you plug the ethernet cable from the Xbox into the mac that "activates" it.
By default OSX is configured to use DHCP to provide an address.
If the Mac sends out DHCP requests over the ethernet cable and never gets a response it will then self-assign an address.
A self-assigned address cannot be used to get to the internet.
(But, I understand that it your Xbox that isn't working not the Mac, especially since you were able to post your question here.)

All of a sudden I started getting "Self-assigned IP address ... Can't connect to internet" message when I attempt to connect to wi-fi at home. I tried solutions posted on the net but to no avail.

It once worked when I removed it from Network preferences and attempted a relogin - but the problem resurfaced again and is not going away. I tried the "key chain access" solution - but my Wi-Fi doesn't show up in "Sytems" at all. Any help will be appreciated. It's OS 10.6.9 MacBook Air.

The wifi icon shows no connection with the network -- the "!" mark.
However the computer sees the network, i.e. when I search in Network Preferences the network is listed.
So: 1) the computer sees the network but 2) will not connect to the network. The reason given for refusal to connect is "self-assigned IP address".
Not to be repetitive but two other Mac laptops are connected to the same network and working perfectly. The network preferences, as shown in the "advanced" section, are the same for all machines, i.e. DHCP is selected and IPv6 is Automatic.

Issue with field symbol not assigned in SMQ2

We are facing an issue with an error in SMQ2.
The error is "field symbol not assigned". There is also short dump in ST22.
I have read the previous forum threads and it talks about going into the debugger mode.
However, which is the program to be debugged ?
How do I navigate from SMQ2 to the ABAP program.
Kindly let me know.
Regards,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
You need to debug program RSTRFCM3. This is the program which drives SMQ2.
However just check if there are any support pack upgrades to the program recently since this is a standard program.

I have a pst and I have issue with few messages which has russian characters in it, when i open the email it shows garbage values. But when i go to OtherActions->Encoding from the email menu option I see that the Encoding was set to "Cyrillic (KOI8-R)",
I have to change the Encoding to Unicode (UTF-8) inroder to read the email correctly. Also observed that this encoding is different for different emails from same pst.
Can I change the encoding to Unicode (UTF-8) for reading the email message so that i dont get the issue for any email (I know there are options to set default encoding for sending emails but could not file an option for reading the email in a specific
encoding.)

Hi Srikanth,
Did someone get back to you on this?
Or did you already find a resolution on this. In that case can you please share?

Joined Network but Self-Assigned IP from ethernet.

I am trying to use my previous generation Airport Extreme to act as a wireless switch for my PS3 that can't seem to find my network up in my room. I managed to get the airport to join the netowork of my Netgear WNDR3400. Connecting through wifi is fine and I can manage the airport when connect to said wifi. It is when I try to connect through ethernet that I get a self Assigned IP using DHCP and Airport Utility can't find the AEBS. I have tried manual address using DHCP and manually configuring both the Airport and the Wifi connection on my MacBook Pro to make sure it works before connecting to the PS3, but as of yet I have had no luck getting any kind of inernet connection through ethernet.
If I'm posting on here it means I've spent several hours trouble shooting with no luck . Thanks for any help.

The AEBS can "join" a wireless network......but....the Ethernet ports are not enabled when it is configured this way. Same for the Time Capsule. So, about all that you can do is connect a device to the USB port when the device is configured this way.
Ironically, the AirPort Express can "join" a wireless network, and the Ethernet port is enabled. That is because of a special, undocumented feature on the Express called ProxySTA....which is not included on the AEBS or TC.
