Pacman and list of mirriors and modem/router change.

Hi all
I am wondering how pacman decides which mirror it will use to update.
My problem is that since swapping out my modem/router pacman has been unable to update.  I have just changed /etc/pacman.d/mirrors to point to a different mirror in an effort to correct the problem but it seems to be tied to the mirror it originally had - mirrors.uk2.net.  Having said that it is not using the new mirror either - distrib-coffee.ispl.jussieu.fr.
Also is pacman somehow tied to one router or what ip the router assigns to the machine, and cannot adjust to new ip settings?
TIA
david

It probably is mirrorlist - just a typo on my part.
A dns issue?  I am not sure.  I have looked in /etc/resolv.conf and that shows the new router ip.  I dont seem to be able to do ifconfig as whatever that is associated with is not installed.
But it does seem to have fixated on the uk2.mirrors.net for pacman.
I shall do some more digging.

  • HP Photosmart B209a no longer connecting to wireless since modem/router change

    I recently had to change from a Motorola Surfboard modem and Netgear router (both at least 5 years old). The new modem/router combo is a C3700 Docsis 3.0. My HP Photosmart Plus printer model B209a no longer connects to the wireless network.  I've tried both push button and pin. I get a WPS failed to connect. When I print network settings my network is listed but the printer shows as being offline with no active conection . Firmware is EIL1FNO926AR and shows up as the latest revision for the printer. Under 802.11 Wireless the mac address is given and status is disconnected.  By the way, the printer and modem/router are approximately 3 feet apart on the same desk.
    Any ideas as to what to do to get my printer back online or is incompatible with the new modem/router?
    Thanks

  • Configuring Airport Express and Modem/Router

    I have a Siemens SX763 ADSL Modem/Router which I wish to use a simply an ADSL modem connected to my Airport Express which will act as wireless network.
    I have switched off wireless on the SX763 and also DHCP server, which I expect the AX will act as. However I cannot get an internet connection from modem to AX. The usual connection is PPPoA with username/pwd - other options are PPPoE and Bridging(MER). My suspicion is that I should select bridging here and enter my ISP username/pwd via the AX.
    Can anybody confirm my thinking or perhaps offer alternative suggestions?
    Cheers
    Darryn

    Darryn, welcome to the discussions!
    You have a couple of options here:
    I assume that the Express be connected to your Siemens with an ethernet cable, correct?
    If you normally use the Siemens in your system, you could turn off the wireless for it and then setup the AirPort Express up as a bridge in your network. The Express would be set to "Create a Wireless Network" The Siemens would then furnish the DHCP and NAT services in this setup.
    Alternately, if you wanted to the Express to provide PPPoE, DHCP and NAT services, you would need to set the modem up as a simple bridge. (Here, I assume that there is a setup page for the modem that would allow this.) The Express would be set to Connect with PPPoE and you would need to enter your user name and password during the setup for the Express. The Express would also be set to "Create a Wireless Network" in this configuration.
    Either of these configurations should work fine. It's basically your choice of which device you want to handle the log on, DHCP and NAT services.

  • SOLVED: Dropped connections with Time Capsule and cable modem/router

    I've been dealing with random dropped connections for quite a while and I thought that it would be useful to share what I've found.
    I was having a very puzzling problem where my internet connection would drop randomly on wireless devices. On my laptop, webpages would suddenly become unresponsive for a minute or two, Mail would have connection problems and complain, etc...but incredibly randomly and definitely not repeatable or in any pattern that I noticed.
    I also have 2 Nest thermostats in the house which connect via wi-fi. I noticed that they would randomly show Offline very often when viewed from a webpage or iPhone app, but the Nest front panels showed that they were connected with a strong signal.
    As I said, the dropped connections were very sporadic. Most of the time, everything worked, but every once in a while...bam.
    I worked with the level 3 tech support guys at Nest for over a week to figure out what was going on. We went through settings on my router and Time Capsule and everything seemed proper and okay. I even replaced the Nests with new ones but still had the same problem. We were all completely stumped.
    Yesterday, my laptop dropped it's connection at the same time my wife's laptop dropped hers. At this point, I wondered if something was wrong with the Time Capsule or maybe my internet provider.
    I called AppleCare to see if they could help with debugging the problem. They passed me up to a senior wi-fi tech and he asked me many questions about the configuration of my network. My home network looked like this yesterday (see crappy diagram below)
                                                         Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                           Netgear multiport switch
                                                          |          |         |         |          |
                                                         hardwired Macs,            TimeCapsule (bridge mode)
                                                         laser printers,                   |   |   |   |   |
                                                          Apple TVs                       laptops, Nest, iphones
    This configuration seemed correct to me. The Time Capsule in bridge mode would mean that the cable modem/router would be handling DHCP so all the devices would be on the same network and I could print from a laptop to one of my printers and the laptops could connect to the hardwired Macs, etc..
    The AppleCare technician said he thought that bridge mode was the problem. He mentioned that there was a known issue that in this configuration, the IP addresses could get lost between the cable modem/router and the Time Capsule. He said it would be best if the Time Capsule was in DHCP/NAT mode and the first device before the switch, this way the Time Capsule was the only device passing out IP addresses.
    So I repatched my network like this:
                                                       Motorola Cable modem/router
                                                                                 |
                                                       TimeCapsule (DHCP/NAT mode)
                                                                |                                       |   |   |   |   |
                                        Netgear multipart switch                      laptops, Nest, iphones
                                             |         |         |        |
                                               hardwired Macs,           
                                                 laser printers,                 
                                                   Apple TVs                     
    I can tell you that in the past 24 hours, I haven't seen anything lose a connection. Not even the Nests which seemed be on and off all the time. And, in this configuration, all the devices are on the same network and able to speak to each other.
    I hope that helps someone.

    So you're saying that Bridge Mode not functioning properly is a well known issue?
    Not to me.. I have not had issues with the TC in bridge. And it is my prefered setup. I think it is better as a wireless AP and network hard disk than a router any day of the week.. but there are other ways to skin the cat if it is proving unreliable. I am at the moment using a wireless bridge from the Gen4 TC to a Gen4 AE upstairs for TV internet streaming.. it started off very reliable.. but of late I guess I need to reboot it every few days. And it has required a full reset two or three times.. although I probably need to take some of the blame for those. I am not over worried.. i do not believe in wireless bridges except for the most interim of arrangements.. it will be wired in ethernet ASAP.
    Wireless should always be used in a way that respects its status as voodoo.. not stable technology. NOT SCIENCE.. it is more a bag of beads and rattles.
    Is there a way to change the cable modem/router to avoid the double NAT problem?
    The answer to this may depend on your ISP. Did they provide the modem? If so they may lock it down so you have no control. But normally a Motorola cable modem will not have a bridge mode as such but will have a method of turning off NAT.. (and wireless).. this amounts to the same thing.
    Once you turn off NAT.. you need to power cycle the modem so the TC gets the public IP in router mode. The power cycle time might be 5min or 20min or overnight.. it again depends on your ISP.. but you need to stop the modem capturing the public IP so it can be passed to the modem.
    Depending on where you are in the world.. US is most concentration of cable network.. you can go out and buy your own modem. Pick one on your ISP list and steer clear of SB.. at least with the apple routers they are problematic.
    It also can be a case that the cable modem is SB model and therefore more problematic. Sorry I have forgotten the recommendation for what to buy. There are a number of posts here about it but search is terrible now. (or I am too old to figure it out). I will get Bob to poke his nose in and tell you what works for him.

  • F4580 and can't connect to new modem/router

    This printer was working ok with the old router but won't connect with new modem/router.

    Yup, this is expected.  You will have to re-install the printer.  Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page, run the installation and choose "Wireless" or "Network" when it asks.  You will have to temporarily use a USB cable to communicate with the printer.

  • I recently bought an external hard drive and attached it to a wireless modem router. The problem is that i can't access it from my macbook. I get a "connection failed" and "the server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally".

    Well I believe I described the problem above. I want only to add that the external hard drive is a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Drive 1TB and the wireless modem router is a Belkin N Plus (model F5D8635-4 v1). Also, in the finder window under "shared" I see a "belkinserver" and when I click it, it says "connection failed". If I click "connect as" I get the "the server "belkinserver" is available on your computer..." which I mentioned above. I tried to connect macbook via ethernet to the modem router and then when I typed "smb://belkinserver" it immediately prompted me for a username and a password and when I typed them finally I got to enter the contents of the hard drive! So what's the problem wirelessly? 

    If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
    Cheapest option:
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
    If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
    Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
    Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

  • Which is Best... Connect Devices to Airport Extreme OR Modem/Router? And Which is Best for DHCP/NAT?

    I have a modem/router from the ISP and have just purchased an Airport Extreme to use for the WIFI instead of the modem/router.
    I have 3 other devices on the network connected to the modem/router via ethernet: AppleTV, Smart Blueray Player and a NAS drive.
    So I have the modem/router in DHCP/NAT mode, and Airport Extreme in Bridged mode.
    But I wondered if the Airport Extreme should be in DHCP/NAT, the other 3 devices connected to that via Ethernet, and the modem/router in bridged mode.
    Which is better, or are they the same?
    Thanks

    So I have the modem/router in DHCP/NAT mode, and Airport Extreme in Bridged mode.
    This would be the simplest, correct way to configure your network.
    Unless you need some special feature from the AirPort Extreme....that would require that the AirPort Extreme handle DHCP and NAT service.....like the Guest Network feature......then it would probably be best to keep things simple and leave them "as is" on your network.
    Either the modem needs to be in Bridge Mode and the AirPort Extreme handles DHCP and NAT.....or.....the modem/router handles DHCP and NAT and the AirPort Extreme is setup in Bridge Mode.
    it does not really matter which device handles DHCP and NAT as long as your feature requirements are being met on the network.
    Personally, I strongly prefer to use a simple modem....not a modem/router....and another separate router to control the network. But, your ISP may not offer that option.

  • PAP2 and compatable modem/router

    I purchased a PAP2 and my modem doesn't have an Ethernet port. Can someone recommend a modem that will enable me to connect my new PAP2 and my PC. Do I need a modem/router? Prefer non wireless.

    Hi....
    Depending on your ISP you can go for a modem or a router. If your ISP is a cable connection then you can go in for BEFCMU10 a Linksys cable modem. If your ISP is a DSL connection then you can in go BEFSR41 which is also a Linksys Cable DSL router. Also make sure that your computer has an Ethernet port. If you do not have one then you can go in for LNE100TX which is a Linksys Ethernet adapter.

  • Issues with FIOS modem/router's wireless and multiple devices connected to the WLAN?

    I am an IT consultant who was assisting someone with getting some devices connected to the fios wireless router and adding a wireless print server so they could print wirelesly. 
    I was having difficulty with one of their systems that was connected prior to me going on site.
    It was having difficulty obtaining an IP from the WLAN, i tried reinstalling the adapter, removing stored wlan settings and setting it up again, etc.
    When it did obtain an IP it could not ping the router.
    I had left it suggesting that they replace the wireless adapter on that system.
    However they're saying that after they shut down one of their other devices that i had connected (a netbook), that this problematic system started working fine.
    It makes no sense that a wireless client would have an impact on another wireless client. We're only talking 4 total devices here, a netbook, a laptop, a wireless print server and a desktop in another area of the house that has a usb wireless adapter.
    Does anyone have any ideas on if Verizon's wireless built in to the fios modem/router just isn't too good to handle multiple wireless devices?
    After hearing this i was thinking they might have been better off configuring the fios router as a bridge and getting a better wireless router or shutting off the fios supplied wifi and implementing a wireless access point instead of using the router/modem that verizon provides.

    By bridge I mean in the sense you see some of the early DSL setups configured before they started using multiport routers -- essentially bridging the WAN MoCA port to the LAN ethernet.   The ActionTEC's won't do that.   This is what I think most are seeking to do when they want to turn the device into a "bridge" (essentially making the Verizon unit "transparent" to the communication which in this scenario it can't be).  You can do as suggested an turn the ActionTEC into essentially a "switch/bridge" that is only bridging the MoCA LAN and Ethernet LAN segments, but this then requires you to have an ethernet WAN feed from the ONT ... and as indicated, it is definitely not a "supported" configuration from Verizon (although there is nothing "wrong" with doing it this way if you are comfortable with networking and understanding the mechanics of all that is going on -- if not, sticking with a supported configuration is highly advisable).

  • Verizon DSL, Westell 6100 modem/router, and Airport Extreme

    Useful info so you won't have to go through what I did.
    Verizon ISP using the Westell 6100 modem/router & Airport Extreme.
    The Westell 6100 was configured during installation as a modem and router with a direct connection to the Mac. You can actually connect Airport Extreme at this point with an ethernet connection to the Westell and it will work, but you can't do any of the sharing things (remote login, personal web sharing, etc.) To do those things the Westell needs to be in the Bridge mode. In a nutshell, you have to edit the Westell's VC configuration to establish Bridge mode, and disable its DHCP server. Then you have to set up the Airport to connect using PPPoE using the Account Name and Password from Verizon.
    1. With the Westell connected directly to the Mac, access the device at 192.168.1.1.
    a. Under VC Configuration the first of seven configurations should already be enabled as VPI 0, VCI 35 using PPPoE. Edit that one and change it to Bridge mode.
    b. Under DHCP configuration, disable the DHCP server. You can also do this under the Private LAN Configuration page. If at the latter, do not attempt to disable the Private LAN (it won't let you anyway). Verizon tech support kept insisting I had to disable the Private LAN, which caused a great amount of anguish!
    c. Before leaving 192.168.1.1 (you won't be able to access it again once the Airport is connected and configured) make sure you know your ISP account name and password. This was assigned during my setup procedure with Verizon, a random selection of letters and numbers.
    2. Now hook up the Airport WAN to the Westell's ethernet port and the Mac to the Airport LAN. Fire up Airport Admin Utility.
    a. Under the Internet tab, select Connect Using PPPoE.
    b. Configure PPPoE using the Verizon Account Name.
    c. Change password to the Verizon account password.
    3. Restart and that's it.

    Thank you for your post. When I moved to another home, Verizon sent me the Westell 6100 and I had been having trouble staying connected to the Internet with my Airport. Last night, I loss wireless access and the Airport status in the menu bar read "Looking for a PPPoE connection". Verizon customer support was able to get me back online, albeit with only a direct Ethernet connection between my iBook and the 6100.
    I found your post and followed your instructions. Now all the iBooks in our household are back online via the Airport. Thank you very much!

  • WiFi Problems w/ OS X 10.4.11 and Speedport W 502V DSL Modem/Router

    We just moved to Germany again, so went to Deutsche Telekom (DT) for Internet/phone access. They sold us a Speedport W 502V DSL Modem/Router with manuals--all in German, as DT does (DT offers NO support in English; some would argue they offer no customer support at all).
    Babelfish and I managed to configure a late-model eMac, G4 PowerBook and two iPhones with the DSL router, with pretty good success (sometimes we have intermittent Internet connectivity). Then our household goods were delivered and we unpacked and set up the G4 dual-GHz tower. So...the G4's Airport (not Airport Extreme) "sees" the WLAN and the https://speedport.ip site "sees" the IP address of the G4, but the G4 can't join the network, no matter what I try. It's to the point that I think it's something painfully obvious that I'm missing and I must be too far in the weeds...so now I need fresh eyes on the problem.
    I have no computer connected to the Speedport, and wouldn't have thought that was the problem because the other non-physically-connected computers are using the WLAN network. Thanks for any help!

    hi kathryn
    did it have to be the Telekom, by all means??
    anyway, first of all a link to a video where a german comedian writes a letter to steve jobs demanding he chose any carrier but the DTAG for the iPhone distribution in germany - really funny!
    http://bit.ly/4B4OdQ
    OK, I´m currently downloading the speedport manual from their website and will look through it, in order to see if there´s something in there..
    as a first guess I´d try looking at the wireless prefs of that speedport box. I guess it supports by default 802.11a/b/g, whereas the G4 only does 802.11b (the "normal" airport). Try selecting only the 802.11b portion from the speedport (that makes networking somewhat slower for airport express computers, but shoudn´t be a problem since it´s still at least as fast as basic DSL service (11MBit vs 2 or 6 MBit)

  • Airport Extreme and Netgear DGN2200 Modem Router - Help

    Hi everyone,
    I’m from Italy, sorry for my English. I hope I will explain my problem  well enough.
    In some weeks  I gonna buy my first iMac (after years and years on Win-PCs). For Christmas my family gave me an Airport Extreme for present. This is the first Apple product that  comes  into my house (..not really an happy entrance until now).
    I’m just getting mad about setting this Airport Extreme. I would want to use it as a wireless extender ;  I tried almost all possible setups searching for days on the web , but nothing. It doesn’t work.  The Apple assistance is always busy in the hours I can be at home and the Extreme still remains a well-done-elegant white brick on the desk.. 
    Situation:
    -     I’m working on a Windows PC now (Windows 7)
    -     I use a Netgear Modem wireless Router DGN2200 plugged via Ethernet cable to the PC
    -     I downloaded Airport utility for windows 5.6.1
    -     The  Airport Extreme is new (5th generation) 
    My wish:
    -     Using the Airport Extreme in another room of my house connected wirelessly to my existing Netgear router,  as an extender of the network 
    Problems that  I found:
    -     Wirelessly the base is not found by Airport utility
    -     To find the base I have to plug an Ethernet cable from the Netgear Router to a port on the Airport base, but not the first WAN port,  I have to use one of the others.
    -     When I find the base  I try setting-up it with the Bridge Mode, but then it gives errors 6753 or 10057.
    -     I tried to change settings on the Netgear  Router  or  reset them, but nothing ..
    and so on many tries. 
    If someone of you had  the same Netgear Modem Router (DGN2200)  and use an Airport Extreme base like an extender in bridge mode, please tell me what configuration, in the Router Modem and on the Airport base,  works fine.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Best regards.

    I can only create a  “New Wireless Network” (no bridge mode) connected to Netgear Modem Router by Ethernet cable ,  in this way I would have 2 networks, one from the Netgear and another  from the Airport, but the source of wireless will be in the same room (because they will be connected together by cable).
    I already provided the instructions for this in my post above. Here they are again: 
    Configure the AirPort to "create a wireless network" using the same wireless network name, same wireless security and same wireless password as the Netgear network....and...configure the AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode to work correctly on the network.
    If you do this, then the AirPort and Netgear devices will work together to act like one "big" network. That is because you have two routers producing the same network.
    If  I bought 2 Powerline extenders, one connected close to the Netgear Router and the other one connected to power line in the other room,
    could I connect  by cable the Airport Extreme to the second extender
    If you cannot connect an Ethernet cable from the Netgear to the AirPort Extreme, then you might be able to use a pair of Ethernet powerline adapters to send the signal over the AC wiring in your home.
    I have not found powerline products to be reliable in general when I have used them, so make sure that you understand the store's return policies in advance if you decide to try them.
