Photosmart 6515 B211a cannot find web server (DNS solution doesn't fix it!)

I am having the same problem as described in this thread:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-Networking-and-Wireless/Photosmart-6510-quot-the-printer-was-un...
I followed all of the steps. I found that my Comcast gateway was leasing DHCP addresses between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.252. I have set my IP for the printer at 10.0.0.253, changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, and set the gateway to 10.0.0.1 (the address of my Comcast gateway).
I double checked the gateway GUI and it sees the printer connected to the LAN and the address is set to resevered, so it falls outside of the DHCP range. I still can not get this printer to connect to HP Web Services, it sees the LAN, but not the WAN (internet). I can successfully send print jobs from other devices on the LAN.
I need to get this printer setup for Google Cloud Print and this seems to be a roadblock I can't get around.
Sidenote: The printer is a 6515, according to the outside of the printer, but the settings printout calls it a 6510.
Any help would be appreciated.
This question was solved.

OK, I found the problem!
My Comcast gateway was blocking packets of my HP printer -- but not in the firewall settings.
My Comcast gateway comes with a Parental Control feature. I am not sure the particular value of this, but it ovbivously comes with some logic that Comcast doesn't tell you about. I was looking for log files when I flipped through the various screens of the Parental Control section (Parental Control > Reports) and found a log with the following:
UDP Packet - Source:10.0.0.11,56291 Destination:192.168.0.1,53, 14:33:05, 2015-01-17 [PRCTL_DEVICE_LOG] Blocked UDP Packet - Source:10.0.0.11,36479 Destination:192.168.0.1,53, 14:33:01, 2015-01-17 [PRCTL_DEVICE_LOG] Blocked UDP Packet - Source:10.0.0.11,137 Destination:169.254.255.255,137, 14:32:56, 2015-01-17 [PRCTL_DEVICE_LOG] Blocked
This pattern goes on for several log entries, but there it is 10.0.0.11, my printer, was trying to connect to the outside world and was being blocked by the gateway!
Here is how I got my gateway to stop blocking my printer:
1. Log into your Comcast Xfinity gateway.
2. Click on Parental Control
3. Click on Managed Devices
4. See the section marked Blocked Devices? Mine was populated with a device whose name started with "HP".
5. Click the X on the same line as your printer and click ok to confirm the delete.
Your printer should now have access to send packets out to the world! If is doesn't work, see if you have other blocked devices and remove those as well.
I went ahead and just turned off the Parental Control on my gateway. I wasn't sure how my printer got on this list -- and a laptop that wouldn't work and Comcast support said it was my Linux install...wrong again Comcast -- but I don't want these devices working their way back onto the list.

Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
          •          Server name: imap.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 993
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
          •          Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
          •          SSL Required: Yes
          •          Port: 587
          •          SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
          •          Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
          •          Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. How do I fix this?

Safari and firefox 'cannot find the server' for every other page that i navigate to, unless I turn Wifi off and on. Once i reconnect to the network, the page loads, but after loading a few more pages, the same thing happens all over again.
This happens each and every time, on different Wifi networks, in different locations. On the other hand, I don't ever encounter this problem when I tether my laptop to my mobile phone's 3g/2g network using Personal Hotspot. How do I fix this?

Try this DNS server ...
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click OK.
Quit and relaunch both your browsers to test.

Nokia 9500 problem: cannot find specified server

After some deliberation, I have finally managed to connect my Nokia 9500 to the internet via the WLAN router in my home. So I can access websites ok, although it's slow and some of the webpage elements don't load. Anyhoo... my problem is with Real audio files now. For some reason, it won't download them to my phone when I click save, it just gives me the message "cannot find specified server" and doesn't download anything. I even get this message sometimes as webpages are loading, but after clicking "ok" it continues to load the page and seems to work fine. Anyone know what the problem could be? I'm using a T-mobile pay-as-you-go sim in my phone and my ISP is Tiscali. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The problem is that your internal machines need to access the server's dns to resolve the host name.
2 steps.
1. Ensure that DNS in server.app is forwarding requests to your ISP dns server and that server is set to provide DNS
for some or all clients and that you have your DNS primary zone setup with a machine record for the server.
2. Change the DNS server address within network settings on all other devices to the servers tcpip address.
Hope that helps
Cheers

Safari cannot find the server and question mark in blue square

Hi
I consistently have problems with safari displaying the message safari cannot find the server. The version I have is 5.1.8 and I installed a security update today (23.3.13) hoping it would solve the problem. After refreshing the page a couple of times or restarting safari everything works as normal but this is an ongoing issue. I also have problems with images loading on sites. They appear as blue squares with question marks. I have tried most things people have said on the net but nothing is working.
Please help!
Thanks

HI aad1612,
Try deleting the safari plist by foloowing these instructions:
Close Safari
Open a Finder window
Click on "Go" in the upper status bar
Click and HOLD the alt/option key (Library should appear in the above list)
Keep holding the alt/otion key and click on Library (this will open a new window)
Open the Preference folder (NOT Preference Panes)
Look for com.apple.Safari.plist
Right mouse client to move this file to trash
Empty the trash
Open Safari again and hopefully your issue will be reoslved.
Good Luck

Hi All,
When I run a page in Jdeveloper (even the successfully tested projects), i get the output page as Cannot find the server. In my Embedded OC4j preferences, i have given my local IP as prefered as I am using VPN. Then , the proxy settings as No proxy (again cuz of VPN). Kindly help me out in solving the issue, i have even tried deleting the base folders and re zipped to C drive, yet no luck.
Thanks

The issue got solved. I changed my browser from Internet explorer to Firefox and included my local IP in its exception list of proxys and it worked.

HOW TO FIND Web Server ...?

when i try to find web server (tomcat ) on my computer with the program below ... iam getting the output like this ....
Web server of sitehttp://localhost:8080is null
note : my tomcat is running at http://localhost:8080
can anyone help me out .....
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class findServer
public static void main(String a[])
try
URL u=new URL(a[0]);
System.out.println("Web server of site"+a[0]+"is-"+u.openConnection().getHeaderField ("Server"));
catch(Exception e)
System.out.println(e);
thanx

The tomcat won't send the "Server" field; it will send you
the "Servlet-Engine" field instead. This should work:
private static final String getWebServerInfo(String url)
try
    URL u = new URL(url);
    String server = u.openConnection().getHeaderField("Server");
    if(server == null) server = u.openConnection().getHeaderField("Servlet-Engine");
    return server == null ? "Unknown (got null)" : server;
catch(Throwable t) { return "Unknown (got exception: " + t.toString() +")"; }
}

If you're running Mac OS X 10.8.x ou can purchase iPhoto version 9.x from the App Store. If you purchase iPhoto at the App Store you will automatically get the most up-to-date version and you won't need to install the 9.4 update.

Cannot install Web Server + Calendar Server

I would like to install calendar server an RH3 to use with Lightning.
So I do ./installer &
I choose calendar server and webserver components.
But, just in the form after I cannot continue because :
Valid DNS Domain Name Required.
The DNS Domain name Provided could not be validated.
The services being installed require a valid internet domain name.
Installation cannot proceed untill a valid DNS Domain Name is provided.
I don't know what to enter in the fill "Name of the DNS domain"
I read the old post with the same issue, I read the General Installation Prerequisites and following :
12. If you are installing a communications product component, verify that the domain name of the host on which Access Manager will be installed is set.
To set the domain name, do one of the following:
If the file /etc/resolv.conf exists, enter the fully qualified domain name in the domain configuration entry. Example: domain mycomputer.company.com
If the file /etc/resolv.conf does not exist, enter the following command syntax:
# domainname fully_qualified_domain_name
13. Verify that the second column in the /etc/hosts file contains the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) rather than a simple host name. For example:
192.18.99.999 mycomputer.company.com mycomputer loghost
I have severals PC on a domain.
Please, some one can explain me how to complete my installation ? What I need to enter on the hosts file ?
Why the installation needs a Internet domain name ?
Thank you
Emmanuel

- Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.0 (it seems to be required too)
include :
* Directory Server 6 Core Server
* Directory Service Control Center
* Directory Server CLI tool
This is the LDAP Server no ???Correct. Directory Server 6.0 is Sun's LDAP compliant server.
BUT for the DNS Domain Name : I cannot find it, how to find this name ?At this juncture I should say that a basic working knowledge of TCP/IP network and DNS is required for this software. LDAP knowledge is also essential since you aren't installing the account provisioning tools (delegated administrator).
this is my etc/hosts :
127.0.0.1 wcap localhost.localdomain localhostwcap is the host nameThe etc/hosts should have an entry along the lines of:
1.2.3.4 wcap.mydomain.com wcapWhere 1.2.3.4 is the IP address of your system and mydomain.com is the domain-name for your system.
this is my etc/resolve.conf
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-scriptYour server is given an IP address via DHCP? That is definitely not a good idea.
What do you get when you run:
nslookup <calendar servers IP address>
I tried to enter abcde for the DNS domain name, but w/o successWhen you run:
nslookup wcap.abcde
=> do you get the IP address of the server returned?
Finally the installation works with these
host name : localhost
DNS domain name : localdomain
IP add : 127.0.0.1
etc..
I hope it will work, for the moment, we need to use the calendar server in our local domain.127.0.0.1 is the loopback address. You shouldn't use this.

Shane.

Tons of Cannot Find SQL Server errors in ULS log

Background: I inherited the maintenance of this farm. The previous consultant migrated the client from WSS 3.0 to 2013 by way of 2007 MOSS and 2010 (unsure of version). I do not know if there was a "temporary" SQL server used during this process
that no longer exists. It seems likely given all of the errors regarding a missing SQL server.
The current 2013 Enterprise farm contains 1 WFE and 3 App servers, 2 of which comprise the search topology. There is one SQL server, not aliased. All machines are VMs. One of the search servers (App) is on a different ESXi host. The timer job that is creating
all of the ULS errors is running on the WFE. Beyond that, the farm has these symptoms:
It "works" albeit very slowly. Crawl rate of 2-7 dps for both external file shares and the SP content (both with and without Task Offloading / Chimney Offloading enabled). It seems to frequently recycle or take an otherwise long time to render
in the browser (any page). Finally, it spews tens of thousands of errors 24x7 on the WFE saying a SQL server (unnamed) cannot be contacted via Named Pipes.
Specifically: "Unknown SQL Exception 53 occurred. Additional error information from SQL Server is included below. A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)".
The next error in the sequence is: "An internal error occurred while running a timer job: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that
the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool.TryGetConnection(DbConnection owningObject,
UInt32 waitForMultipleObjectsTimeout, Boolean allowCreate, Boolean onlyOneCheckConnection, DbConnectionOptions userOptions, DbConnectionInternal& connection)..."
This is followed by an error such as this: "There was an internal error invoking the timer job '{E4DDC92E-0056-4E7E-BD3F-1CF5670ACB7D}' for service '{6105D588-FB34-4F1C-82F6-479D7FE146EA}'."
Of course, each time the timer job mentioned is different.
One more error appears consistently with these although not as frequently: "The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Diagnostics.SPDiagnosticsMetricsProvider (ID 36e6942a-9a80-440f-94a4-e4a606362734) threw an exception. More information
is included below. Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in
time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=21276; handshake=0;"
I have been troubleshooting this for days but am not making much progress. How can I determine just what SQL server it says it cannot find and where that server name is stored? It seems like it has to be part of the Timer job configuration since the two
things are related.

Hi,
Thanks for your sharing and have a good day.
