Make the router act just as a switch

I have a wireless router that I have been using as a router. but at the moment I would like to change the configuration of my network to resolve some problems I am having.
What I would like to do is make the router a wireless switch and not do any routing is there a way that I can do this????
I do not want to use the internet port at this time nor use the DHCP Features on the router. I have tried to give the switch a local IP address and turned off DHCP but the other dhcp server could not server up the IP addresses to the computers connected both hard wired and wireless.
thanks for any help you can give me.

You assign the router an non-conflicting LAN IP address (not the other's router IP address nor the other router's DHCP server range).
You turn off the DHCP server.
You hook up the router through a LAN port. You do not use the internet port.
From what you write you seem to have it together correctly. This setup works excellent with my WRT54Gv2. Wireless and wired clients get their IP address and internet access from my other gateway router. What router are you using?

When I get a phone call or text message it will not make the sound. Just vibrate. But the switch is on normal. When I change it to vibrate the volume thing will not show. Nor will my up volume up key work. Is there any way to fix it?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Please help : How to make the anomalistic table just like below?

Hi all,
How to make the anomalistic table just like below? Anyone can give the way detail or thoughtway ?
http://61.132.17.188/webber/table.gif

This is just a suggestion.
If you put your "JTable" in a "JScrollPane", then you can add any "java.awt.Component" to the corner of the "JScrollPane" -- using the "setCorner()" method (of "JScrollPane").
I would suggest making a custon "JPanel" and overriding its "paintComponent()" method to draw a diagonal line (and the required text) on it.
You can find out more about how to do this from the links I provided in my first reply.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck,

One you start up the new one for the first time, Setup Assistant starts and offers you the option of migrating your old Mac to your new Mac with Time Machine, among other choices, as the source. You can also use Migration Assistant (in the Utilities Folder) to do the same thing.

Is there a way to make the NAS200 act like a drive in my computer

Not sure if this has been discussed here yet.
I have a NAS200 connected to my router and I can access through my web browser no problem.
I was wondering if there's a way to make it act like a drive that's in my computer. i.e give it a drive letter and have it show up in the "my computer" area.
I am running win 8 pro desktop hard wired to the router with the nas200 connected. Is there a way to "mount" the nas200 as drive on the computer.
Thanks,
Bob
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes, you just need to map the drive on your computer. You need to make sure first that the network drive is detected in the network. You can click on the following link to know how to map the drive:

My ipad doesn't seem to make a sound when it is closed or in sleep mode to let me know there is an imessage until you see it on the screen that someone has imessaged. When you're taking it makes the swoosh sound, just not when it's in sleep mode. Help

Am having some problems with the sounds on my ipad, specifically my imessage notification sound when your ipad is in sleep mode and someone is messaging you. It seems to work with the swoosh sounds when you are actively messaging back and forth, but as soon as I close my ipad up and is locked or in sleep mode, I don't know anyone is messaging me until I look at my ipad. I've tried a few things.. But nothing has worked so far....Please help!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

To solve some sound problems, just follow these simple steps
1. Go to Settings
2. Tap on General
3. Tap on Reset
4. Tap on Reset All Settings
What this effectively does is to reset some of your Settings to factory default. It’s not a complete removal of settings. It removes all of your preferences for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do No Disturb, Notifications, General, Sounds, Brightness & Wallpaper and Privacy. It doesn’t affect your data. All of your email accounts will remain intact, as well as any SMS text or iMessages.

How to hide or make the router from others seeing it

HI
I just installed my new router and with my old one, if I went outside looking for a network the router will be invisable or not listed. How can I do this with my current router?
Thanks

Does anyone know how to make the mouse motion just NORMAL?

Hi folks. Alright I am a new but I love my Mac. The one thing I just can't get past is the feel of the way the mouse works. It is tooooo smooth. I feel like when i go slow with the motion, it covers less ground as I move, then when I speed up my motion, it feels more in time with the motion. I realize this is pretty hard to explain but does anyone know what i am talking about? Sure it is more precise but I really hate it. Help?

David DeCristof:
I have been looking for a solution to this for quite some time, and I want to personally thank you for using a little humility to recognize that no, Macs don't behave the same way as other (not just Windows) graphical user interfaces when it comes to the mouse pointer.
I downloaded and purchased (well worth the funds for me) "USB Overdrive" and now I have a pointer that moves around the screen like I'm moving my hands around the screen. So natural this way. So thank you very much for mentioning those haxies or preference applets or whatever you want to call them.
Now my Mac is 10 times better!!!
As an old Amiga user, and then Windows user, it has been so disorienting to work around the desktop with Mac OS's non-customizable motion preferences. It often had left me asking myself just what part of the OS is "more friendly?" Sure, it's a rock solid OS, but friendly? C'mon.....Sheesh...You mean after I find a THIRD PARTY HAXIE to make it that way?
Well, now I have nothing to complain about.
By the way, my Speed setting is at 160 dpi, and the Accelertaion is set at 90%, in USB Overdrive. And this feels just right for me.
Now if only I could make my pointer WHITE instead of BLACK, (yes I guess I'm racist...) and make it about four times bigger without making it look like a lego...

How to make the bookmarks bar JUST text and without the "Bookmarks" drop down and make the other bar have text with pictures? How to download a previous version of firefox?

The option is to set text, text and pictures, or pictures but it affects both bars and how to get the old version back because I just wanted a stupid addon that I didn't even need and now is firefox just stuck this way. I know it's better to have the new version for security or whatever but the new features are bad for me personally I can't use this program how can I get the old version again please help. Or at least help me fix my bookmarks bar it was carefully made so I can do my work but now it has been destroyed and it can't get rid of the icons without getting rid of Home Refresh Stop icons and also the Bookmarks dropdown menu button can't be removed from the bookmarks bar?

So if the bookmarks toolbar is fixed up you don't need to go back to Firefox 4. That's easy.
This styling will change the bookmark folders to blue (most common) and the few bookmarks to red. Most would have short names 1-4 characters. Install the "'''Stylish'''" extension and then the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Dmcritchie style(s)] suggested below.
* '''Stylish''' :: Add-ons for Firefox<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
* '''Bookmarks Toolbar Fx4 Blue/Folders, Red/Bookmarks''' - Themes and Skins for Browser<br>http://userstyles.org/styles/46947
'''Additional styling suggestions'''
* '''Scrollbar Menu''' - Themes and Skins for Browser - userstyles.org<br>http://userstyles.org/styles/52
* '''Scrollbar Context Menu''' - Themes and Skins for Browser<br>http://userstyles.org/styles/54
The drop-down at the end wouldn't be there as long as everything fits on the row.
:Once you start using styles you will really like them because you can control/modify/use them independently as building blocks as opposed to someone elses full theme design or extension.
I fail to see how the above is ''sketchy''
# Install the "'''Stylish'''" extension
# Install the suggested Style
The advantage of a style is that they are very small compared to extensions, and if you don't like they way it looks, you can modify it. Try to do that with an extension.
The suggested style shows folders in blue, and bookmarklets or bookmarks in red used as buttons.
The deiconizer extension looks rather hard to read, seems rather large for what it does, and it has space wasting drop downs which are meaningless, simply left click to show the folder.
''it can't get rid of the (bookmark/folder) icons without getting rid of Home Refresh Stop icons and also the Bookmarks dropdown menu button can't be removed from the bookmarks bar?''
The Home button would show as text ("Home") with the style change, as for Refresh ("F5") and Stop("Esc") the keyboard shortcuts work better for me anyway and have never included them on my toolbars. I keep the Home button to the left of the Location bar anyway so it shows an icon.
'''For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox''', find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
* ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

This bug makes the router unmanageable with SNMP

Hello, I'm working for Orange Business Services and filed this bug. Orange Business Services is shipping this 881 router on large scale and we are hitting this bug more and more. This is really anoying as we can no longer monitor them with SNMP

Make server app act as the rmiregistry

Hello.
Reading the RMI tutorial the only way for a client to get it's first remote refrence is for the server to bind it to the rmiregistry and the client would get it from there.
My question, is there any way possible to make the server act as the rmiregistry so that the client can directly get the remote object reference?
thx

Make the default probes smarter

Custom probes are great, however unlike the default probes you do not always have them with you...so why not just make the default probes just a tad smarter? - The array probe e.g. should not just show a single cell - it should by default show at least some of them (1*10 for 1D, 10*10 if 2D etc. e.g.), have it's scrollbars visible and be resizable? You could add some core information about the array, like it's size e.g. in an indicator on the top as well....and perhaps have a pull-down menu for the display format. Keep it general and simple of course, but a bit more convenient than today's probe. - The string probe should also be resizable and have a control that let's you switch the display format. - etc.

We have reached a point of "minimum return on investment" for custom probes. Although there are still plenty of tweaks that could be made to the probes for individual data types, the request for improved probe functionality is but one request among a sea of requests from our users, and it is generally better for R&D to focus on the items that cannot be done by our users rather than by popularizing customizations that can be done by users. This is a constant problem for a wide range of LabVIEW features, custom probes being only one of many. As LV's existing feature list gets longer, R&D faces a constant struggle between introduction of new features (which is what drives short-term sales and upgrades), incremental improvements of existing features (which drives the perception of stability and usability and thus long-term sales and upgrades), and tuning LV for various niche customers (which drives both long and short-term). On the custom probes front, I would suggest that instead of posting a request for R&D to improve the custom probes that instead you post individual VIs that you would like to see us ship as default custom probes. These VIs should be free from any intellectual property restrictions (read the Terms of Use [linked at bottom of page] for details about VIs that you post). Then the community can kudos individual custom probes. Collecting popular VIs and shipping them with LV is a more productive use of our time than trying to guess what the most useful customizations are and trying to ship them, hoping that the beta feedback is enough to let us know whether we got it right or not. If you do start posting these, in order that we can identify all the ideas that are specifically new custom probes for us to evaluate, consider using the convention of naming your idea "New Custom Probe: XYZ.vi" or "New Custom Probe: XYZ.llb" (the second for times when you have a whole batch of custom probes in a single idea... they should generally be on related data types or else be posted as separate ideas). If you take this route, I think you'll have a lot more success both at getting R&D to pick up the idea AND at getting custom probes added that you actualy find useful. Just to be clear: I'm not saying R&D has no responsibility for improving the probes. We do. But our attention over time becomes more and more divided, and having the community post the VIs themselves rather than us developing those VIs is more likely to be a successful strategy in the short run than waiting for enough issues to pile up such that it becomes a top priority worthy of allocating an R&D developer to the project.

VTP Server placement, "router-on-a-stick" vs switch

Is there a benefit to having a switch act as a VTP server, and not a "router-on-a-stick"? What are the drawbacks to having the router act as the VTP server?

Shanky,
There are new IOS in which you can configure your router for VLANS and also VTP parameters. I have a 3745 router with Version 12.3(5b) and I have tried configuring vlans on this and also setting up the VTP parameters. However I have tried connecting a switch to it and setting up the "router-on-stick" to see how it behaves, I will try that out and let you guys know. Please see :

I think it should make any difference if you are configuring router as a VTP server. It should behave the same way as a L2 switch does but it will definately consume some memory and also CPU of the router. We have to set up router-on-stick for intervlan routing.
