Not visible to others- Port Problem?

Hello,
I had trouble setting up my router and my airport extreme in the first place and I do not want to ruin anything so I thought I would ask help of the experts.
Here is the set up:
Cable modem connected to a Belkin router (F5D5231-4-APL) The router then splits the cable connection to my G4 desktop and to the Airport Express which wirelessly connects to my wife's laptop. It is from the G4 desktop that I am trying to use iChat.
Here is the problem;
I am having trouble with other people seeing my status. They report that I am not available even when I am. I can start and participate in text and video chats with them but I would like to fix the problem.
Here is what I have tried;
I have read about port forwarding but I do not have the guts to go all the way I did not set up a manual static ip address because I am not sure how to do it for the other computer connected via airport. I have a DHCP connection but it appears as if my computers ip address never changes (even after being turned off and restarted) so I went ahead and forwarded the appropriate ports to the IP. It did not fix the problem with my availability so I imagine I have to go all the way and set up a Manual IP on both machines
Thanks for considering this question and I would greatly appreciate any advise on how to proceed

Hi Netktai,
It is not important how you get your Public IP from your ISP but more to do with the way your Local Net is set up.
The easiest set up is UPnP if you have it.
This allows multiple computers to have access to the ports. And be default your LAN IP can change and it will not matter.
This Page at Port Forward.com shows you how to set up Port Forwarding if you do not have UPnP.
Yours may have slightly different setting compared to the menus shown if the Firmware is newer. (it does not seem to be an exact match for the model number you gave).
It should at least tell you the default IP number to type into your Web browser.
IS your Airport set to Not Distribute Addresses ?
IF not your wife will be in a different subnet and you will not be able to test the Bonjour chat with her.

  • I have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

    i have iphone 4 and it connect to some wireless networks and some others are not visible while other lphones can find these networks and i tried to restart the phone many times and there is no result, kindly advice

    Some updates and clarifications:
    1. I already have my 2.4 channel fixed.
    2. Wireless network name is 8 alphanumeric characters; no spaces
    3. Already using WPA2 security with a 10 alphanumeric key (again, no spaces)
    4. I am running Airport Utility 6.0, Mac OS version 10.7.4
    I should also say that these problems started happening less than a month ago...prior to that all devices where working normally.
    An added update: My two e-readers (nook ST and Kindle 3) are also refusing to connect...perhaps confirming that I have 2.4 GHz issues?

  • Shared HP 3180 scanner function on a SnowLeopard server is not visible in other Lion Macs.

    Hello,
    I shared a HP C3180 (Printer+Scanner) on a server running SnowLeopard. While I can still scan from other SL-machines via the preview application, the scanner is not visible from machines running Lion. Printing from Lion is no problem, but it just does not show up as a scanner in the networked devices list of preview and image capture applications. Any idea?
    rgds,
    Frank

    Having very similar problem and have not solved it yet. Got some diagnostic info, though.
    I downloaded the Bonjour Browser on the Lion Mac. IT can see the scanner service being offered by the Snow Leopard Mac. But the System Perferences - Print & Scan cannot (although it see the printer part of the all-in-one just fine; it works, too). Neither can Image Capture.
    For what it is worth, downloaded latest all-in-one driver from the vendor. Vendor says it is for Lion. Doesn't seem to make a difference. Sigh ...

  • Notification Mail is not working for other logon problem link

    Hi All,

    Hi,
    There are two ways of doing this: either through Visual Administrator or through Config Tool using offline mode. My guess is that if you are doing it through Vis. Admin, then there is a possibility that the settings are being lost. Have you tried it through Configtool?
    Make sure the procedure that you are following is as follows:
    1.      Start the Config Tool by executing j2eeconfigtoolconfigtool.bat.
    2.      In the tree, navigate to Global server configuration ® services ® com.sap.security.core.ume.service.
    The list of UME properties appears.
        a.        To change the value of a property:
           i.       Select the property in the list.
          ii.       In Value at the bottom of the screen, enter the new value that you want to assign to the property.
          iii.       Choose Set.
          iv.       Choose  (Apply changes).
    b.     To restore a property to its default value:
           i.       Select the property in the list.
          ii.       Choose Restore to default.
         iii.       Choose  (Apply changes).
    c.      To restore all properties to their default values:
          i.       Choose Restore all to default.
    3.      Restart the nodes in the cluster for the changes to take effect.

  • In Connect 8, Chat from Participants to Presenters not visible to other participants?

    From what I can see, Chat pod entries from a participant are visible to all participants. This is a change from previous version.
    Q&A pod is limiting because Presenter must answer a specific Question, and can't just initiate a communication to participants.
    Is there a way to have Participants to chat with Presenters and not have their chat visible to other participants (besides Q&A)?

    It sounds like you are using the Meeting Host licensing. This requires that a member of the Meeting Host group must be present in the meeting to fully activate the room functionality. The simple version of that is that no one will have higher than Participant rights until a member of the Meeting Host group joins. Once that condition is satisfied, then all other attendees will be promoted to Presenter, since you have the auto-promote function on.

  • Initiator Task not visible to other users in the Group

    Hi
    JDeveloper 11.1.1.6, WLS 10.3.6, BPM 11.1.1.6
    I have a Process and the swimlane containing the Initiator Task is assigned to a Group.
    All the users in the group are able to Initiate the Task.
    But when the Task is initiated, the Task is assigned to the User specifically, but not to the Group. I guess this is the default behavior.
    The Human Task Assignee - defaultPerformer for the Initiator Task is uneditable in the initiator.task file.
    What I was expecting is that, since the Initiator swimlane is assigned to the Group, All the users in the Group should be able to see the Tasks initiated by anyone in the Group.
    I want this behavior in the Initiator type of tasks specifically. (The normal Tasks other than Initiator tasks are working as expected.)
    The reason why we want this is, let us say after the task is created, and before it is submitted, there is a lot of work to be done, for example, data entry, should be done by many people in the Group.
    If all the users in the Group are able to see the Initiator Task, then it will help to share the responsibility of data entry among the users of the group.
    I tried Reassigning the task to Group, and it works, but we am looking for something automatically assigning to the Group when the Process is created. (We may not be using the Oracle BPM Workspace at all).
    Can anyone please tell us if there is a way to make the Initiator Task automatically assigned to the Group instead of just the user?
    Thanks for any help
    Sameer

    Hi Ashwini
    Thanks for replying.
    I did the same and it was working for me even if the Type is Single.
    I just gave the Group name and all users were able to see the task. This is fine with me.
    I just observed one more thing.
    When the task is created, all the users in the Group are able to see it in 'Me & My Group'.
    But the data entered by the creator is not seen by other users.
    There is an action 'Save' in the Task. If the creator clicked on it, then the task is automatically 'Acquired' by the creator.
    Other users in the group are able to see the task and the saved data, but are not able to Submit.
    What I expected the Save button to do is only to Save the data in the Payload. Not Claim it.
    Is there a way to make the payload data only to save but not to claim the task?
    Thanks and Regards

    If you live in the UAE or another country where FaceTime is restricted by the government, you will not have FaceTime on your phone. This would also apply if the phone was bought in a country where the app is restricted. You cannot download it either.

  • WRT300N - My home network not visible on other home machines

    I've had a WRT300N in place and problem-free for about two years; always able to have other laptops and notebook in the house view our network and able to connect.  Suddenly, the network no longer shows on the other machines.  The only thing I had done over the course of two or three days was to unplug the power cord from the back of the router (to prevent one of our children from using the wireless to access the internet late at night).  So the most recent time I reconnect the power cord, local network no longer visible on the other machines.  I have done a new set-up and a factory reset, and to no avail can I see the network on our other machines at home.  When I run a hard cable from the router to the back of my laptop, I can gain internet access that way.  I am puzzled why I can't see the wireless network any longer. The location of the router has not changed one inch, nor is there anything new posing interference.  And as far as I can tell, the settings are all proper.  I am not an expert when it comes to computer set-ups, but I was able to set-up the router and wireless on the first try two years ago; but now I have a problem.  I would be grateful if anyone has any suggestions.  Thank you.

    Follow the below mentioned settings and check.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbors network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75,Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304,Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 and Click on Save Settings...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • Shared Tasks not visible to other User

    Hello,
    I am facing a problem that I have shared Tasks of User-A to User-B. But when I open shared Task at User-B MS Outlook it opens but no tasks of User-A are visbile.
    For Testing
    I Shared User-A shared tasks for myself with same permissions & are visible to me.
    I Shared my Tasks for User-B & are visible to User-B.
    I Shared User-B Tasks & are also visible to me.
    I Created new Outlook profile for User-B, Upgraded Office Version from 2007-2010, Created new Windows login Profile, login him on some other PC but still User-B is unable to View User-A shared tasks.
    I login User-B on OWA (Webmail) still User-B is unable to View User-A shared Tasks.
    I have checked for User Mailbox permissions but found nothing.
    Please help me to resolve this issue.

    Hi,
    If User-A shared a calendar folder to User-B, could User-B open the shared calendar in his Outlook? or are those calendar items visiable in that time? 
    If yes, please separately get the
    Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity
    [email protected]:\Calendar
    & Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity
    [email protected]:\Task
    And then compare their permission to find the difference entry.
    Or you may directly check the User-B's permission under User-A's folder:
    Get-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity
    [email protected]:\Task -User [email protected]
    This might not the problem on User Mailbox permissions level but Mailbox folder permissions level. Thanks.

  • Data Uploads done with one User Id not visible to other users in SPM

    Hi,
    Data uploads were successfully carried out by one of the SPM users. However, other users (with different user id) are not able to see anything in the Data Upload Summary screen.
    Is there a restriction on the visibility of Data Upload Summary for data uploads carried out with one User id to other users in SPM? A similar behaviour is observed for other screens within the Data upload workbench.
    Incase this is not the expected behaviour, it would be great if you could please provide pointers to possible reasons for this.
    Just for your information, all users have been granted same privileges in the SPM application.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ashish Sharma

    Hi Ashish,
    No this is not the expected behavior. We have seen this issue for other customers in the past but the reason has always turned out to be role related.
    Can you ensure that the required SPM roles are assigned to the user who do not see the DM data both in ABAP as well as portal.
    Thanks,

  • Publication instances not visible to others

    Hi All,
    We have one publication having webi report as source document.
    This publication is scheduled to run for one recipient but the idea is to make these instances visible to another user group who share same database profile as of this user.
    This user group has got right to view objects, and view document instance rights but still when they go to the history of publication ,they see a list of instances created but once they click on the instance link, a window appears with nothing in it.
    Please let me know if I am missing something in the entire setup. How can I make these publication instances available for users other than recipient.
    Thanks,
    Chandra

    Can anyone put some thoughts on this.
    For normal report if I give u2018view instancesu2019 right over the folder for users, they can see instance ran by other user. However if I try to do the same thing with publication it doesnu2019t work this way.
    Only publisher or recipients can see the instance created in the folder ,for rest it shows a blank page saying u2018No items to displayu2019 . I tried to add other users in u2018administratoru2019 group and with that access also they could not see instance there for publication. Is this the expected behavior of publication. If so we might have to look for another approach to meet the requirement.
    Thanks.

  • SubArea not visible for other users in ESS

    Hi All,
    I have created a new subarea (having few services) and assigned it to a Benefits and payments Area.

    if iam giving SAP_ALL  to other user then we are able to see this.
    Please let me know if iam missing anything .
    Thanks,

    to the role assigned to the user, you need to select end user visible in the role.
    note Number              939412
    ssign the following permissions to an End user.
       o  Goto Content Administrator ->Portal content ->Content Provided by
          SAP ->End User Content -> Employee Self Service
       o  Right click on  Employee Self Service. select open-> Permissions
       o  Assign read authorization to default user group "everyone".
       o  Check the 'EndUser' checkbox
       o  Save the Assigned permissions
       o  Goto System administration -> Permissions.

  • Human Task: Claimed Group task not visible to others in group

    We've recently upgraded from SOA Suite 10.1.3 to SOA Suite 11.1.1.3.
    We're using the standard worklist application in both versions.
    In 10.x, if we assigned a Task to a Group, all members of the group would always see the task in the worklist application.
    If a group member claimed the task, the other group members would still see the task in the work list, and could see the task details (read-only) in the detail screen
    All group members could also see all group tasks, regardless of status/outcome (completed, withdrawn, refused, etc.) and regardless of the group member that completed the task, if they chose the filter "Any".
    In 11g, a group task that is claimed by another group member disappears from the worklist (on refresh), and users only see completed group tasks if they completed the task themselves.
    We did grant "View Task" to all roles for the *.task in JDeveloper ("Actions" Tab)
    and either "Read" or "Write" for all combinations in the "Content" Tab.
    Is this is a "feature" ?
    Is there some way to configure the old behaviour ?

    Can anyone put some thoughts on this.
    For normal report if I give u2018view instancesu2019 right over the folder for users, they can see instance ran by other user. However if I try to do the same thing with publication it doesnu2019t work this way.

  • Public Foler Calendar Categories not Visible to Other User

    My company uses calendars within the public folders for staff to be able to check their schedule.
    When I add an event to one of those calendars, and change the category colour, I can see it, but none of the other users accessing the calendars can see them. It shows any text changes I've made, but no category. If those users open up the event, the category
    name is even showing as selected, but the colour doesn't actually show up.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    There is no feature in Exchange server to manage calendar view in Outlook. Based on my research, it seems a known issue that Outlook does not recognize or coexist with color category in the public calendar folders since Outlook 2007.
    If you want to see the same colored categories on all of your computers, you must create the same categories and colors on every computer. The following article is about share color categories for Outlook 2010:
