Netcfg not enabling interface (sets an IP address) if no link [Solved]

Hi;
When my computer boots, and the network cable is not connected (or the router is off), then the netcfg profile is not brought up.. like in "the old init scripts days".
So after there is a link I have to bring it up manually... is there a flag to bring it up even if there is no link? basically the old "ifconfig eth0 5.5.5.5" would do..
Thanks.

‘yes’/‘no’. Don’t abort interface setup if no carrier is found.

Not able to set static IP address after upgrading to 8.1 from 8.0

I have a dell vostro 1014 laptop.After upgrading to 8.1 from 8.0 , i am not able to give static IP address in the Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties of my Ethernet card properties.I am getting the following error:
"COM surrogate has stopped working error"
In order to access Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties
again , i need to restart the system
after restarting my system and when i access Internet Protocol version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Properties i find that ip address,subnet mask and default gateway( in the
use following IP Address field) have given has become empty.But
preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server enteries are still there.I am able to fetch IP address from the DHCP server
Does anyone knows how to troubleshoot this problem?

This problem may occur due to loss of some system files while upgrading your dell vostro 1014 laptop from 8.0.to 8.1 or unsuccessful upgrade.
Try to refresh your laptop by inserting windows 8.1 installation disc.
To do this go to control panel->recovery->refresh your system without loosing any data
If you don't have any windows 8.1 installation disc just download from Microsoft website.
Make sure to choose correct architecture of your windows installation (x86 or x64) when you download.

Setting sbRIO IP address without using link-local

Hello
I am working deployment of an image to sbRIO in production. Deploying the image works well, but setting up the sbRIO so that i can actually deploy the image does not. In production the deployment will deal with brand new sbRIO cards, so they will connect as DHCP/link-local.
The setup i have does not allow me to:
- Set the IP properties of the sbRIO manually.
- Set the host computer IP properties to DHCP/link-local
- Use a switch with DHCP
So at this point i can find the sbRIO with the System Configuration VI's. I can download the image to the sbRIO (if i manually set the IP address to static on the same subnet as the host). But i can not connect to the sbRIO with the System Configuration VI's unless i change the host computer IP settings, and so i cant set the IP settings on the sbRIO so that they match the host.
However, MAX seems to be able set the IP settings on the sbRIO just fine no matter if its using link-local or not. So it should be doable.
Does anyone have experience with this? How does MAX do it?
Ideally i would like to:
-Connect the (new) sbRIO
- Discover it (link-local)
- Set a static IP
- Write image
I also wonder if anyone else have seen strange behaviour in MAX when interacting with a sbRIO on a network card with multiple IP addresses? And if so, can it be fixed? In my case new IP settings doesnt settle on the sbRIO unless the (host) network card has max one IP address.

Ok, there are two different settings that involve DHCP, one being the public IP address that is assigned to the AirPort and the other being the IP addresses that are assigned to the computers on the private network.
Before doing the following, I would hard reset the AirPort Extreme by holding the reset button on the back for 5-10 seconds, just so we can get a default onfiguration.
If you run AirPort Utility, go to Manual Setup, and click on Internet your Connection Sharing at the bottom should be listed as Share a Public IP Address. This enables your AirPort to be the gateway and to receive a public IP address from your cable provider. This should really already be enabled since you did a hard reset.
Now test to make sure you have an internet connection. If not, then you need to reset your cable modem. If after resetting your cable modem you still can't get internet connection then you need to call your cable provider and have then do whatever they need to do to get you a new IP address.
Now that you have a working internet connection you need to setup your private network. Run AirPort Utility, click on Manual Setup, and go to the Internet tab again. Write down the DNS servers you see listed. For Configure IPv4, you need to change the setting from Using DHCP to Manually. Enter the IP address as 192.168.249.10, the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0, the router address as 192.168.249.10, and then use the DNS Servers you just wrote down.
Now click on the DHCP tab next to the Internet Connection tab and select 192.168.249.100 as your beginning DHCP address. Ending address could be something like 192.168.249.200. Update your AirPort and then see if things are working correctly.

Ipad air not enabling automatic app downloads

After setting up a brand new iPad Air I am not able to enable automatic app downloads for the App Store.
When I enable the setting it switches straight back off again.
I have tried signing out of my apple ID, restarting the device and signing in again but this makes no difference. i am still unable to switch on automatic App downloads.
Any ideas how this can be resolved?

I have since worked out that I could not enable this setting due to access to 'setup.icloud.com' being blocked through my proxy server. Once the iPad has access to icloud through the proxy server I could then enable this setting.
Hopefully this helps anyone who may be experiencing a similar issue.

PowerShell: How do I reliably set the IP address on an interface when the interface is not connected ?

Hello all,
I am in a bit of a bind - no pun intended. I would like to know how to reliable set the persistent IP address of an interface that may be disconnected when the address is set. I can set an address and it will be stored in the ActiveStore but
that does not really help if I need it next time I reboot. I have tried using netsh and WMI but they don't seem to create a persistent address on the disconnected interface. Now if I us ncpa.cpl I can do it all day long so it must be possible.
In fact if I do it that way the registry settings change. So, I figured I would go that route (modifying the registry) but, alas, that does not work either - upon reboot the address shown in the interface properties show a blank IP address, gateway,
and netmask. It is interesting that it is using a static address though.
Thanks for your help
Robert

Look in the Gallery for numerous examples of setting a static address on an interface.

Hello Nikkii,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
Troubleshooting telephone-number activation (iPhone only)
After each step, toggle FaceTime and iMessage off and then on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Ensure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
Verify that you can send SMS messages. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime.
Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions or blocks on text messages. Blocks on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration.
If you are unable to activate iMessage or FaceTime on a device after remote wiping it, wait at least 24 hours and try again.
If "Waiting for Activation" is displayed, leave FaceTime and iMessage enabled for 24 hours. Toggling FaceTime or iMessage off and on will cause the registration process to start over.
Best of luck,
Mario

I do not see where to enter IP addresses in the Open VPN setup. Also, how can I set it up so that I can choose different servers in the same way as I can currently choose them with my VPN app but for PPTP?

I think I have it working on my iPhone 5. But, I do not see how I can control the exit point that I would like for the VPN. Are all the exit points shown in the VPN setting now going to work with Open VPN, or do they remain PPTP? If I am reading correctly, they look like they remain PPTP. If I cannot control the exit point for open VPN, which exit point is the default in the profile you provided me?I note that Open VPN Connect does not work with any of the new 64 bit devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the new iPad MIni. Is there any chance that you guys will come up with an update for your app so that open VPN can be made to work on all iOS devices? That would be nice, particularly if the Open VPN Connect app does not give me a choice of exit points.Thanks,

Just a quick note to tell you that Open VPN has updated their app so that it is compatible with 64 bit ARM devices like the iPhone 5S, the iPad Air, and the iPad Mini Retina.That does not resolve the problem of how to easily choose among the various possibilities for the exit server. We need to find an easy way to choose.

Thank you for trying the new Firefox. I'm sorry that you’re unhappy with the new design.
I understand your frustration and surprise at the removal of these features but I can't undo these changes. I'm just a support volunteer and I do not work for Mozilla. But you can send any feedback about these changes to http://input.mozilla.org/feedback. Firefox developers collect data submitted through there then present it at the weekly Firefox meeting
I recommend you try to adjust to 29 and see if you can't make it work for you before you downgrade to a less secure and soon outdated version of Firefox.
Here are a few suggestions for restoring the old design. I hope you’ll find one that works for you:
*Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] to bring back the old design. Learn more here: [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]]

My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address. I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email. My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used. How do I delete the iPhones iCloud account and reinstall it to match my other devices.

Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.

Youtube Videos do NOT play if media.mediasource.enabled is set true (Youtube with HTML 5 Player). WHY?

I am Using the new HTML 5 Player when watching Videos on Youtube. It works just fine when media.mediasource.enabled is set to "false" but then I cannot get the full experience because the lack of features!
If I enable it, NO Video is going to load, meaning I cannot watch any Video on Youtube!
As a workaround I installed the Plugin "Youtube Control Center" (missing in your List below). But it would be nice if I would NOT have to use this...
Even better would be if Firefox would Support WebM. But this does not seem to be the case since YT uses exactly this Format with its new Player... (And if I enable this media.mediasource.enabled (set it "true") NOTHING works anymore.)

Firefox plays the "old" WebM format in its default configuration (media.mediasource.enabled=false). You can verify that here: [http://www.webmfiles.org/demo-files/].
From what I have read, turning on MediaSource will allow you to play the "new" WebM on YouTube ''starting in Firefox 31''. Even though the preference exists in Firefox 30, I don't think the actual code is there, which would explain why advertising that capability to YouTube causes total failure.

RE6500 system time not set and, why set a DNS address?

How do I set the RE6500 system time to current day if it's showing January 1970? It is connected to the router on both frequencies and the extender output is working on both frequencies. I have set the RE6500 to a static address of 192.168.1.3 as the router address is 192.168.1.1. In the RE6500 the default gateway is set to the router address of 192.168.1.1. Is it necessary to set the DNS address in the RE6500 as the router is the default gateway?

Hi Chadster766; thanks for the prompt reply. I tried using the external primary DNS address set in the router - saving and rebooting - and when that didn't work, I used the same IP address as the router 192.168.1.1. That didn't work either; I did a warm re-boot of the computer after setting the DNS in the RE6500. What am I missing or, should I reinstall the RE6500 and use the default DNS settings? I'm using Windows 7 Sp1 and the RE6500 icon does not appear in Network, so it appears to be an issue between Windows and the RE6500.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Bank Charges field not enabled in Receipts Form though the profile is set

Bank Charges field not enabled in Receipts Form though the profile "AR: Create Bank Charges" is set to 'Yes' at Application and Responsibility level. I have also given GL codes for Bank Charges in Payment Method Im using.
What could be the reason for the above?

For Bank Charges to work, we have to use payment method attached to Receipt Class with "No Remittance" Remittance Method and "Directly" Clearance Method. I created a new payment method, using that in receipts form enabled the bank charges.
