Multiple wireless routers with Macintosh OSX - Does not work

I work for Spokane Public Library system as an IT Specialist. At all of our branches, we use multiple WRT54G wireless devices to serve our patrons. We are having notable trouble with Macintosh clients who can get connected to the wireless network but cannot obtain a DHCP address and thus cannot surf the web. We have the WRT54G devices configured with unique SSID's and no wireless protection; basically an open network.
Will having both of the WRT54G's set to the same channel pose a problem? Do Macs on OSX have an issue with the Linksys implementation of DHCP that you know of?
We have verified this problem at all branches; including the use of my laptop which is a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.4.10.
There are other posts on this forum with similar issues and no responses.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

YES! My own resolution... It turns out that it WAS A LINKSYS COMPATIBILITY ISSUE. Updating the WRT54G firmware to version 1.02.2 made it all work great. There was a fix for DHCP in the 1.02.2 version.
This is for both version 5 and 6 of the WRT54G.
Woot!

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

I get wireless connection but my internet does not work on my ipad 2

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF

We use lots of web addresses in our advertising and generally the web addresses automatically convert to hyperlinks when we distill the files and make PDFs. Recently we've had two instances where someone applied tracking or justification to the line of text containing the url to make it spread across the page. When we make our PDF the url is not clickable. Is there anyway around this? We tried actually creating a hyperlink manually in InDesign by using the Hyperlinks panel and entering the address, but that didn't work either.

Peter,
We'll look into that. We already do two separate PDFs for print and web, but
we are distilling both right now. Wouldn't be too much of a problem to
change to exporting the web version I don't think.
I did a test, just curious, is there a way to keep it from putting a black
box around the link on the PDF?
Thanks for your help! We appreciate it!
Beth

Subject: Hyperlink with tracking applied does not work in PDF
Distilled PDF uses Postscript which does not support hyperlinks and
interactivity. To make your hyperlinks in ID you'll need to export and check
the Include Hyperlinks and Include Interactiviity boxes.
Your printer doesn't need hyperlinks because they don't work on a printed
page. The requirements for print and interactive PDF are quite different, and
you may find you need to make two versions.

What if sync with new computer does not work. logical connection to old with WindowsXP, 32 bit version of iTunes. New is Windows7 with 64bit version

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

My camera works with the photobooth and with skype but does not work with online applications such as "lolcam from facebook" or "faceonthehole" application. Please help

My camera works with the photobooth and with skype but does not work with other applications like the "lolcam" from facebook or the " faceonthe hole" application. Can anyone help?

There was a issue with school computers being used to spy on kids in their bedrooms, Mac's were involved.
So Apple most likely tightened the API's to only select, trustworthy companies as not to abuse the web cam access priviledge.
If you want to use a web cam with these other programs and services, you'll likely have to buy a third party USB one, so you can manually disconnect it.
There isn't a way to physcially disconnect the built in web cam on Mac's without busting open the machine.

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

Multiple Image Upload with save to database not working in IE anymore

Since updating IE to SP3 ADDT Multiple Image Upload with save to database does not work anymore in IE. It will show a regular file upload field, an does not allow selection of multiple files. It does work in Firefox, but not all my clients use firefox.
PSE Advice.

I would consider buying some pluggins from dmxzone.com. They
may cost a
bit upfront but in the long run, you've probably be saving a
lot of
headaches.
http://www.dmxzone.com/
If time's an issue, with these plugins, you could probably
be up and
running in a half hour. George has some really nice pluggins
for
Dreamweaver and well worth the money.

DHCP with redundant Gateway does not work

I am having trouble connecting to my office network using Wifi.
I have done some investigation and found the problem which is...
When DHCP server serves the request and replies with multiple/redundant gateways, the device does take the IP and communicates within the local network but ignores the gateway and is not able to connect the outside network.
When I requested my Systems Administrator and he added specific setting for my device's MAC address and sent only one gateway in DHCP reply, device starts to connect outside.
Our office has other debian based and CentOS based systems running including Ubuntu workstations but none of them is having problem with multiple/redundant gateways but only N900 is having this problem. It means that the problem is not inherited from Linux or Debian but the bug is related to Maemo itself.
I have tried to tell add some technical details and do not expect answers like to check firewall and so. This is a genuine problem and is not intermittent. We have experienced it using MS DHCP server under windows 2003 and win 2k as well.
End users: Please try to duplicate the problem before suggesting a work around or anything
Developers/Admins/Officials: I hope you acknowledge the problem soon.

Yes it is uncommon configuration in house holds but in offices or places that have access to more than one Internet connection the configuration will be common. Houses normally have one small router with one internet connection. However in many offices the router is attached to multiple connections and manages fault-tolerance. Having said all that, regardless of how often it is used, when used it wont work and it is a bug.
In DHCP protocol "003 Router" is defined as a list of IPs not a single IP and if DHCP protocol is properly supported this should have work. What I mean is that this problem is related to DHCP implementation. Following is the output of route command...

I already posted the big on Bugzilla
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9662
Well I posted this here as well so if someone else also faces the same problem (not sure if there will be one) but they should at-least know the problem instead of thinking that why the hell my internet does not work in office when there is no firewall blocking it.. :-)
I do hope to get it viewed by a "sympathetic developer" :-)
I currently am not into develop/modify scripts but if this is not fixed by others then I believe I don't have a choice.
For now as I mentioned I did a work around by adding an IP reservation in my DHCP server which allows me to fix it to one Gateway for this MAC address only. But if I did not have admin access over my DHCP server, I was in trouble then and maybe would not be able to event troubleshoot and identify the problem.

Select list with bind variable does not work

Hi,
What can be wrong with a 'select list' with the a simple select
select omschrijving o, id i
from basiscodes b
where domein = 'OPTIES'
and b.id in
(select eo.basiscode_id from evenementen_opties eo
where eo.event_id = :P16_ID)
The :P16_ID has a value and should give result
But it does not work at all with 'select list'
Using the POPUP LOV (display discription, return key value) works nice
The select retuns less then 10 records

Hi Flavio,
As I explained, the P16_ID is an item of the master page (page 16)
In Page 18 where I want to reuse that value, the item is not there, but I use it to assign
P18_EVENT_ID with the value in P16_ID and that works fine.
In an after submit process, I do this :
declare
function get_pk return varchar2
is
begin
for c1 in (select EVENEMENT_INSCHRIJVING_SEQ.nextval next_val
from dual)
loop
return c1.next_val;
end loop;
end;
begin
:P18_ID := get_pk;
:P18_EVENT_ID := :P16_ID;
:P18_CREATIE_DT := TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS');
:P18_CREATIE_USER := APEX_APPLICATION.G_USER;
end;
The value P16_ID is there before I open page 18
I made a display item that displays the value P16_ID
If I change the LOV select in :
select b.omschrijving o, b.id i
from basiscodes b
, evenementen_opties eo
where b.domein = 'OPTIES'
and b.id = eo.basiscode_id
and eo.event_id = 16
then it returns the value I want : 1 record
You see, I'm a really new one in apex.
Forms 6i was easier for me...

Loging into game center with apple ID does not work. What do i need to do?

My apple ID does not work for signing into game center.

Apple TV doesn't come with HDMI cable, so you would have had to buy the cable separately unless the Apple TV was bought used. Did you purchase the device from Apple or an authorized reseller?
Are you sure you're trying the right input?

The Software that came with my book does not work. CISCO CCENT / CCNA ICND1 by wendell odom

Hello this is my first post on cisco support and hope I can get some help. I recently purchased the book CISCO CCENT / CCNA ICND1 by wendell odom and when I used the CD to install the Pearson Practice exams, it does not work. I tried everything! It even asks for a activation code, which on the CD It says "Refer to the Activation Code Included in the DVD Sleeve when Registering Pearson IT Certification Practice Test Software"I don't see anything related to a Activation Code anywhere on the CD OR on the sleeve! So now I can't use that.
The Network simulator Wendell odom uses in his videos is already outdated it seems and I can't get mine to work. Why? Because I bought this book in hopes of this being a beginner book and praying the person won't skip information to actually set up the book. So now the videos are useless because I can't connect because I have no idea how...
The Network Simulator lite, wow 3/3 When giving me software to use. The Prompt command does not work, Only the enter key will work but when I try to put in a password I can't hit anything else but enter.
I hope I can get help from a more official member as to seeing how I bought this book and I can read but whats really the point if I don't have the hands on training?

Keunepete,
When I ordered my books for the ICND1 and ICND2, they came with a CD in the back pocket (sleeve) of the book. Along with the CD was a thick piece of paper that had the activation code on it. It was a white, square piece of paper with big black print on it. Did you buy your book used? Was the CD sealed in the back pocket?

I was billed for a renewal with eHarmony that does not work. Eharmony said itunes claims the charge didnt go through but I have already been billed. How do I get my money back or get my subscription working??

I was billed for a renewal with eHarmony via iTunes that does not work. Eharmony said itunes claims the charge didnt go through but I have already been billed it is on my bank statement. How do I get my money back or get my subscription working?? I have all transaction ID's and invoice numbers. Please help this has been very frustrating, thanks.

Yes, I reported the problem using that exact sequence immediately after discovering the problem with the app. When I submitted my complaint and request, Apple redirected me the website of the app manufacturer where I submitted the same complaint/request for refund. I have not heard back from either, and was still charged, so I can only assume that is not the correct way to "Report a Problem" even though Apple would have you believe otherwise.

HT1933 'Report a problem' link in the email with purchase receipt does not work.

While opening itunes I get an error "unable to connect to itunes",then a screen with the text: "your request produced an error.NewNullResponse".It's in-app purchase, magazine subscription.How do I report a problem if the link does not work?

Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report your issue to the iTunes Store.
