Need help configuring WDM driver

Hi all, I have a 7900gt-vt2d256e, I downloaded and installed display drivers (v 93.71) for the vga card, rebooted, everything was fine, then I downloaded wdm capture drivers (v 4.13), after running the setup, it copied some files and asked for reboot, after reboot windows detected two new devices (nvidia wdm A/V crossbar & nvidia wdm video capture (universal) ). It started to search for drivers for both devices (as I selected: install the driver automatically) and installed the drivers for both. After installation, for nvidia wdm video capture I get a code 10 on device manager and hence I am unable to record analog video through s-video or composite. For nvidia wdm A/V crossbar there is no warning of any sort on the device manager. I've also tried removing the wdm driver using drivercleaner and reinstalling by clicking have disk and specifying the exact file but i get the same code 10, plz help.

I did install a mercury TV Tuner card, but then I disabled it in the hardware profiles, reinstalled the wdm drivers (removed them using drivercleaner),restarted my PC, but my problem wasn't resolved, then I removed the TV Tuner card completely and tried again but still I wasn't able to resolve the issue. Thanks for the quick reply anyway.

Need Help Recovering Hard Drive Space on Disk Utility

I recently wanted to resize my Boot Camp hard drive partition as I did not need it to be 194 gb. In the process I screwed something up and now that space that was once my Boot Camp Partition is now "free space." My Mac Partition still says that I have 305 gb left and I am unsure how to expand this partition to get back that "grey" space. I've tried using Boot Camp Assistant, starting with Command+R after the "chime," and restoring my OSX (not completely however).
I need help in getting back this missing space. It seems that I have looked everywhere and although people seem to have a similar issue I can't figure it out.
Would restoring Mountain Lion completely by using a USB jump drive solve this problem? I have an external hard drive that uses Time Machine to back up my MacBook so a complete restore shouldn't be an issue.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!
P.S. This is what my disk utility currently looks like...

You can try to use Boot Camp Assistant to completely remove the Windows partition but it might not work.
Simple fact is once you setup a Windows partition you can't fool with it at all, that is unless you use some add on program specifically designed to do that on a Mac computer. If you need to resize the Windows partition you first need to use BCA and remove the partition completely and then recreate it at the new size you want and reinstall Windows.
You might have to use Time Machine and backup your Mac partition then repartition the complete drive and then restore from that Time Machine backup. Then setup the Windows partition and reinstall Windows.

I need help configuring three products: WRVS4400N, WAG325N and WVC200

Hello,
I want your help in three linksys products as mentioned below:
WAG325N ADSL2+ Router
WVC200 PTZ CAMERA
WRVS4400N VPN Router
The computer connections and configuration of above linksys products which I am working with and which are connected with the above three linksys products at present are as follows:
1) I have one server and one laptop.
2) Laptop has two wireless adapters which I use to connect to the routers.
3) The server is connected to the WRVS4400N Router through one of the four ethernet ports mentioned on backside of the WRVS4400N Router. The DHCP of this router is disabled by me and the router's default IP 192.168.1.1 was changed to 192.168.1.12
4) The WRVS4400N router is connected to the Wag325N router for internet access to the server and server is connected to WRVS4400N Router as mentioned in point number 3 above.
5) The WAG325N router is setup as per the instructions mentioned that came with the CD of this router. The only change that I have modified is the router's default IP. I have changed the default IP of WAG325N from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.13 and DHCP is enabled on this router.
The help that I want is step by step as follows:
1) I want to configure the both routers in such a way so that I can access them from anywhere across the world i.e. remotely using internet.
2) I have WVC200 Camera which I setup according to instructions mentioned in the CD and also configured the DDNS service. But when the " RJ45 Cable is connected " to my WAG325N router and Camera, then only the camera works properly. What I want is that after the setup is completed, I want to remove the RJ45 Cable connected from my camera to router and use the camera wirelessly from any location within the range of my above mentioned WAG325N router. I need flexibility to use my camera without cable connections from any location and any rooms of my house. I also configured the port forwarding and DDNS properly. The only problem is that if I remove the Cable after the setup of camera is finished, then the camera access is not working on LAN or internet(through DDNS). Whereas the same works on LAN and internet using the DDNS service, when the cable is physically connected to the WAG325N router. Also I want one more thing additionally other then this. I want to use this camera wirelessly by configuring the port forwarding options on both routers at a same time(i.e. simultaneously at once on WRVS4400N and WAG325N).
3) Now as two DHCP cannot work at a same time and as my routers are connected with each other, So I have disabled the DHCP on WRVS4400N. Here I need help so that DHCP can be enabled on both at a same time. Because if the DHCP is not enabled on WRVS4400N then I have to give IP to the server which is connected with server. If I enable the DHCP then there are two DHCP's at a same time on same network and thus problems occurs in internet access to the server. So, what should I do in such a way so that I do not have to give any IP to my server and set it to automatic.
4) This question is just for my knowledge so that I can use the above mentioned linksys purchases upto full extent possible in future. I want to know what is VPN and how is it usefull? What is the difference between VPN and VPN tunnel? How can VPN be used to access all my network resources connected with my server in the above situation where my server is connected to WRVS4400N which in turn is connected to WAG325N?
Thanks !

Ahmedabad, India.

for question number 1:
you said that your main router is WAG325N, for you to remotely access the 2nd router is for you to forward the IP addr [192.168.1.12] on your first router and change its management port of your second router that is located on either the security tab or the administration tab on its User Interface
to access your first router open and Internet Explorer and enter
http://[public IP addr]:[management port]
the PUBLIC IP or INTERNET IP is located on the status page of your router
to access your second router just change the management port to
ex.
http://66.77.88.99:8080 first router
http://66.77.88.99:8081 second router
for question number 2:
make sure that you have configured all wireless settings on both your camera and your main router WAG235N, once done save settings and power down your camera and power it back up.
for question number 3:
for you to enable DHCP on both routers your connection can go like so...
from a regular port of your main router going to the INTERNET port of your second router [this way you can enable DHCP on both routers]. INTERNET is no problem, your cesond router will be able to get connection
for question number 4:
VPN - Virtual Private Network
VPN tunnel -is/are connections from router to router [gateway to gateway]
VPN is used to connect a diff network on a diff location for you to have access to the shared filed [it is like a file sharing through the internet]
for you to be able to use VPN tunnel you have to connect to a different VPN router on a diff location. In that way you can get access to the other network

Need help configuring VPN on RV120W Router (WiTopia VPN)

Hello Cisco Community,
I need some help configuring a VPN from WiTopia on my RV120W router. I am trying to make it so that if any device connects to the router it can automatically connect to the VPN from WiTopia.
Please note that the VPN plan includes PPTP, L2TP, & IPSEC VPN types.
Is this possible? And if so, how?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
If WiTopia is providing only client to gateway VPN, where WiTopia is the gateway allowing connections to clients, than you will not be able to configure RV120 to connect to it. RV120 in its VPN configurations cannot be configured to be a client.
The only tunnel where can play the role of the connecting part is IPSec gateway to gateway, when in the IKE policy the Direction type is Initiator and the Exchange mode is Aggressive. And you will need to receive all additional configuration parameters from WiTopia -the Encryption, Authentication Algorithm, PFS, SA lifetime and so on. But this means that WiTopia have to provide gateway to gateway VPN connection.

Hi,
I'm not a security specialist but here is how I had it set up at home:
Essentially a NAT and a rule forwarding the port are needed. In this particular case I had an Oracle server running and a person requested remote access. So, for example, the source address was his external IP and the destination was the Oracle's external IP. For the NAT the source was the internal IP of the Oracle server and the interface was Outside.
Hope this points you in the right direction.

I use
Attribute MBean Type: ServerSecurityRuntime
Attribute MBean Name:

Need Help Configuring Membership Website with External Approval Process

I am working on configuring a membership website for a group of scientist. Here are the interesting requirements. Any brainstorming would be helpful.
1 - A prospective member applies online. Within the application the prospective member has to include a reference for previous work proving his qualifications and naming a reference to confirm the qualifications. The prospective member has to include the reference's name and email address. (Site visitor creats a new user-submitted webapp item, easy enough.)
2 - The application needs to kick off a workflow to an external site visitor (someone who doesn't have a site login). This reference needs to confirm of reject the prospective member's qualifications.
3 - If the external site visitor approves the reference, then the membership director needs to be emailed of the approval. This approval should then kickoff another approval process to ask the membership director for his approval.
4 - If the external site visitor rejects the reference, then the membership directory needs to be emailed the rejection notification. (If the reference rejects then there will be some sort of appeal process or ability to start over or submit a different reference.)
5 - If the reference approves and the membership director approves, then the prospective member is notified and submitted an invoice to pay. His memberhsip is not active until he pays.
6 - Once the member pays, then he appears in the online directory.
7 - The member will also be able to login and edit his profile as needed.
That about sums it up. Any ideas??
THANKS!

1. Do I need to connect the two base stations via an ethernet cable?
OR
Can I simply plug the second base station into a power outlet in any room, along with the external hard drive connected to it's USB port?
Airport Utility would not even recognize the second base station unless it is using an ethernet LAN-to-LAN connection. (It would not recognize the second base station with WAN-to-LAN connection.)
You basically have three choices here that will allow the second AEBSn to share the attached USB HDD:
Wired: Interconnect the two AEBSns by Ethernet; reconfigure both base stations into a roaming network.
Wireless: Configure both AEBSns for an extended network. Note: This is what Lowell Tuttman is referring to.
Wireless: Configure the second AEBSn as its own wireless network. This would work but would require network clients to switch network to access the drive or access the Internet. Not really practical and not recommended.
The following Apple Support link provides very detailed information on setting up either a roamng or extended network with multiple AirPorts.
2. Since I don't really care about the second base station utilizing the internet connection, do I set it up in Airport Utility as "create a new wireless network"?
This is the current setting and I have a steady green light. However, Time Machine does not recognize the disk.
In the first choice I provided, the second AEBSn would be configured to both "Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network" and "Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)."

Need help configuring Aiport Extreme A1034 to optimize network signal.

Greetings, I am a very loyal mac user from back in the days of the Quadra 650. I have torn apart and fixed most macs for the last 13, but I must say configuring this wireless network has got me stumped. Any help would be gladly appreciated.
I went from a ibook 1 Ghz with a plastic case to a aluminum powerbook g4 1.67 to find out that the metal case greatly diminished the computers ability to receive a wifi signal from my Rv park. I then decided to buy an Airport Extreme A1034 that has the antenna port and then bought a Hawking 15db directional antenna. My intention was to have the Airport Base station receive the 802.11b wifi signal sent out from the office of the RV park through the Hawking antenna, and then have the base station take that signal it received and send that high speed wifi signal to the airport card in my Powerbook G4. Sounds simple enough, I thought it would be. I have found that using Airport set up assistant doesn't give me that option. I then proceeded to get into the workings of the Airport Admin Utility. I have found myself ready to pull my hair out trying to configure the 6 different tabs being, Airport , Internet, Network, Port Mapping, Access control, and WDS.
I do know that everything in the Airport tab is correct. The big problem I think is between the Internet, Network and WDS tabs. It seems that the Airport base station was basically made to have a high speed connection plugged into it via ethernet and then the base station broadcasts to host computers such as my PowerBook G4. My initial thought was to connect via Airport WDS in the internet tab and then set my powerbook to connect directly to the base station through the airport card. I read up on this via Apples Designing Airport networks that came on the Airport installation CD. It talked in detail about setting up the WDS tab to do something like I want but it still involves a hard wired ethernet connection at the start of it. I have also played around extensively with the Network control panel and the sharing control panel , I thought about turning the airport card inside my powerbook into a software or virtual base station and then try some sort of WDS relay. Through all this I had the Airport extreme go none responsive on me and not letting me log in. That's another story of 10 hours of **** fixing it, but i did. Even the reset button stopped working for a while. As of now I can access everything everywhere. I also have ALL the IP addresses Hardware(MAC) address, subnet masks and router addresses for every location in this proposed wireless chain. I just need someone to end this stressful nightmare. They say you learn through trial and error, that is how I learned most of my computer skills over the decades, that and Applecare certified tech training many years ago, But it doesn't help anyone if I stick a large knife through my base station. I can provide a phone number if your willing to call. My email is [email protected] . If your in the San Diego area, I can get ya free passes to the nudist colony where I live, if your in for a new adventure in turn for setting up this network for me. Check out http://www.deanzasprings.com . its where I live.

1. First, can someone confirm that the Extreme card be used as a WDS main base?
Sorry, but no you cannot use the AirPort Extreme card in a WDS as either a main, relay or remote base station. It does not support this function.

Need help configuring Cisco/Linksys wireless router to extend wi-fi signal to living room

My U-verse wireless gateway is in the back of our house. We live in an old 1920's home with solid wood walls. For our macbooks, we get a pretty decent signal, but my wife's iPad 2 get's poor wi-fi speeds. I bought a Cisco/Linksys WRT160N wireless N broadband router. I have a wired connection in my living room (going to a 4 port switch) then connected to my DVR. I tried hooking up the new router but ended up getting no signal on the iPad. In fact, it caused other issues. I ended up disconnecting it and re-booting my gateway. All came back fine. This wireless router replaces a similar unit that went out in after a power failure, so I know this can be done, but I forget exactly how I confiured the old one. I would like it to "extend" my signal to the living room, but I am also willing to create a new network (different SSID). Do I need to turn of DHCP? Are there any web sites that can assist me in configuring the router? I wish I didn't have to deal with this. The signal from the RG is great when you are in the back room (20+ down). But my wife gets about 3 down on her iPad in the living room. Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
I was doing some research on how this can be done. It does not appear there is an option in the Cisco router to set it up as an access point, but there are several options you can do to extend your network.
The first thing you can do is just set it up as a router behind router setup, and you will just have two separate networks. Make sure the DHCP pool does not conflict with the U-verse's gateway of 192.168.1.x.
The second thing you can do is connect the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on your Cisco router instead of using the internet port. This should make it work like a smart switch.
With both setups, you want to probably change the SSID, network key, and wireless security settings to the same thing for wireless roaming abilities. That way, anyone that configures their wireless connection will be connected to both networks. Just make sure the wireless channels are not the same, and I would suggest having them at least 5 apart.
Hope this helps.

Need help configuring VPN - problems accessing the networks

Hi everyone, hope someone can help me out here.
I'm administering the network for our small company. We basically have two sets of machines - public ones with fixed net addresses (mail, web, dns servers, etc), and private ones behind a wireless router/nat.
Our main need here is to be able to VPN in to the public side, in particular, the mailserver, so that we can get around all the stupid things that get done to SMTP when we connect at the BedBug Inn ("Free wifi, administered by gibbons").
Secondarily, it would be nice to be able to connect to and browse some of the internal machines.
So here is what I did:
* Installed 10.4.10 Server on a machine with two ethernet interfaces, one that has a public IP address, the other connects into the private network. When I'm actually at that machine, things work fine - I can browse the private network shares, connect to the net, etc.
* Configured VPN. I have no problems getting a VPN connection, both sides are happy. The VPN assigns incoming clients IP addresses in the private network IP range, but outside those assigned by the wireless router's NAT.
* Added 192.168.2.1/255 (the private network) and 12.17.29.193/224 (the public network) to the Network Routing Definition box under VPN/Settings/Client Information.
However, here's where it all falls down. Once the VPN is established, I can't connect to any of the public machines, and the only private-side device that seems to respond is the Wireless/NAT box (A Belkin N1). So the only thing I can do is administer the Belkin remotely, which, while nice, is not exactly what I had in mind.
Doing a traceroute while VPN is active to my mailserver shows the first hop direct to the VPN machine, then off into * * * heaven (though I have no idea if traceroute works over VPN!).
One curious note: when I change the order of the Network Routing Definitions so that the public network comes first, and the private one second, I can't contact the Belkin box.
Any advice, oh wise and powerful masters of technology?
Various, but the server is running on a G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I said:
"let's assume I VPN to the wireless box"
You replied:
"That's not correct as it is not the device running the VPN endpoint - in this case. "
But wouldn't I have to (on the VPN client) specify the public IP of the wireless box in order connect (because the packets are forwarded) to the actual OS X box running the VPN? Otherwise, it can't see it.
Part of the problem I have is that I can't dedicate a whole machine to VPN. The OS X machine running VPN is also running DNS, and will eventually run our mailserver and perhaps FTP, web, etc, as I slowly migrate stuff to it.
So this machine has to have a public IP address. It cannot be hidden behind the wireless NAT. And it seems to me that this is the crux of the problem. What I think you are telling me is that if the VPN machine was entirely hidden behind the wireless NAT, and had no direct public (WAN) interface, then since all the packets destined for the outside world (including my public servers)would have to go through the NAT, and all would be OK.
If so, then it seems to me that the best solution is to use something like OpenVPN on another OS X (not OS X Server, since I only have one of those) machine in the private network. Since the incoming VPN traffic will be Mac only, it shouldn't be an issue, L2TP-only is fine.
"Otherwise you have to run NAT and the firewall in the VPN server too and use private IPs for VPN clients - or use "only" it (remove the other NAT box and put it on the LAN only). Using only one device for NAT/gw means less configuration."
It is entirely unclear to me, in my setup, what effect turning on NAT on the VPN box (or perhaps, just IP forwarding) would have -- and if I do turn on NAT, would I still have the VPN assign IP's to clients in the internal private network's range, or would I use a different range (ie: private is 192.168.237.xxx, VPN assigns 192.168.239.xxx) and expect the NAT to handle the conversion?
I'm a bit leery of just trying it and seeing what happens because it if mucks things up so badly that the server becomes unreachable (via server admin), I'll have to schlep down to the office to fix it.
"Other things to consider is "bottlenecks" between your LAN and WAN."
Not a real issue. We have a small office, and a relatively small pipe to the internet. Most of the traffic from that pipe is from the public machines anyway. The traffic that goes through the wireless router is basically websurfing and hitting the mailserver.
I could, of course, use the VPN OS X machine as the NAT/DHCP server, and hang the wireless router off the internal network as a simple access point. But would that resolve all the VPN issues?
Once again, thanks for your helpful and prompt replies.

Need help removing hard drive from Time Machine exclusion list

I have a 1TB Western Digital Essential hard drive with about 500Gb of music, movies and other assorted data tethered directly to my iMac. I also have a 1TB Time Capsule that serves as my wireless router and connects to my iMac over the wireless network. I'm trying to use the Time Capsule as the ultimate backup device, to backup the data on my iMac and the tethered 1TB Western Digital hard drive via Time Machine. It already backs up all the data on my iMac, but unfortunately, Time Machine places the 1TB Western Digital hard drive in the exclusion list (which I understand is normal), but will not let me click the minus sign to remove the drive from the exclusion list (which is where I'm at a loss). Someone please help me find a way around this as I've been unable to find a way to remove the Western Digital drive from the exclusion list and have Time Capsule access its data. Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

gotham,
Forgive me, but are you highlighting the drive in the list before you click the "-" button?
Also, were is the external drive? Connected to your Mac or the TC. If the TC, then Time Machine won't backup the external drive. It needs to be connected to the Mac directly.
Otherwise, you can delete the TM .plist.
*Delete The Time Machine Preference .plist*
Go to --> Macintosh HD / Library / Preferences (Note: NOT Home / Library / Preferences).
Drag the .plist file labeled,
com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
to the root level of your Macs’ hard drive.
Reboot your computer.
This .plist file is automatically recreated at startup if it is missing.
You will need to reselect your Time Capsule in the TM Prefs for backup.
Now try 'removing' the other drive form the exclusion list.
Let us know if this helped resolve your issue.
Cheers!
