Ping machine name returns machine.Home and incorrect IP address

I have a small home network (5 machines) with the E8350 (AC2400) and an ActionTec modem PK5001A from Centurylink. I put the router in Automatic Configuration - DHCP mode. The modem WiFi is disabled. The network appears to function properly except for the fact that when I ping some machines on my network they return an incorrect IP address like below. All machines are running Windows 8.1 Pro and have all the latest updates. As you can see the machine name is suffixed with .Home and the IP address is to somewhere in Colorado; I'm in Washington state.
C:\>ping machinename
Pinging machinename.Home [198.105.244.23] with 32 bytes of data&colon;
Request timed out.

Ping statistics for 198.105.244.23:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 0, Lost = 4 (100% loss),
C:\>
IP address is actually 192.168.1.100
What can cause this problem and how do I correct it?

Below is a list of some things that stick out after analyzing you ipconfig post:
Your adapter is set to bridging "Ethernet adapter Network Bridge"; why?
The adapter has a DNS server "205.171.3.25"
The DNS Suffix Search List is set to: Home; which in itself isn't an issue useless a DNS server has that domain in it's records
The DNS server "205.171.3.25" actual responds for the domain "home":
The nslookup command below:
C:\Users\chad>nslookup
Default Server: OpenWrt.lan
Address: 192.168.200.1
> server 205.171.3.25
Default Server: redirect1.qwest.net
Address: 205.171.3.25
> home
Server: redirect1.qwest.net
Address: 205.171.3.25
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: home
Addresses: 198.105.254.23
198.105.244.23
>
Solutions:
Remove DNS entry for 205.171.3.25
Disable bridging on the adapter (AFAIK it's not required or recommended)

Get machine name return ip

Hi
Im trying to get the user ip and machine name with request.getRemoteAddr() and request.getRemoteHost(), but both give me the ip? How can I get the name of the machine that access to the application?
Thanks
Lu�s Matos

Hi
takeshi10:
What I need is one way to get the ip and the machine
name (if possible) of the computer that access to the
application by the internet or local lan.
I already can get the ip, but can't get the machine
name.have you tried the "getHostName()" method that i stated before? theres also a "getCanonicalHostName()" method as well... might try that one too...
if that doesnt return you the name, you prolly cant have the name of a particular host (that is, your network cant find a name to point to that particular guy), but thats a network issue them...
>
Another thing is if the server itself access to the
page I get the ip 127.0.0.1, not the ip that I have
defined. But this isn't the big problem.its exactly what one could expect... that one is the ipaddress that refers to loopback (wich points to localhost), so its exactly the behavior its suppose to have...
>
What I realy need is what I mean in the first
paragraph.
Thanks

Is Office Home and Business 2013 fully compatible with Sharepoint Online (Office 365)?

My client recently upgraded 3 Windows 7 PCs (2-32 & 1-64-bit OS) from Office 2007 32-bit (which was actually working fine against Exchange/SharePoint Online) to Office Home and Business 2013 (32-bit)
Now, for all 3 PCs, while Office 2013 Word/Excel can open, check out/in, and save SharePoint Online files, there is ALWAYS a 2 minute delay in closing the file which is apparently waiting for the Local Security Authority call to return. This seems
to indicate an issue related to SharePoint security on the client side.
Problem Event Name: AppHangXProcB1
Application Name:
WINWORD.EXE
Application Version:
15.0.4657.1000
Waiting on Application Name:
lsass.exe:lsasspirpc
This is the Local Security Authority Security Support Provider Interface Remote Procedure Call (LSA SSPI RPC)
My client has 66 licenses for SharePoint Online (Plan 2) and 73 Exchange Online (Plan 1) "stand alone" services. The same failure is happening on 3 Win 7 PCs. All of which I've carefully reviewed against the MS Office trouble shooting guides (start
Windows OS w/out non-MS services, Word/Excel safe mode w/out add-ons, O365 readiness checks, Office repair, etc.). We have PCs running Win 7 (32 & 64-bit) w/Office 365 ProPlus & Office Professional Plus 2013 that work fine. it's JUST these 3 Win 7
PCs that were upgraded from Office 2007 to Office Home and Business 2013 that have the 2 min. SharePoint file close time.
Can you please confirm that Office Home and Business 2013 is compatible w/SharePoint Online
at least for Excel and Word?
The "slow close" problem can be demonstrated on multiple site collections/sub sites and w/Excel & Word docs in doc libs and lists
After many hours capturing information, following the MS Office trouble shooting guides, and repairing the Office install, I've had no luck in resolving this.While Word/Excel will eventually close SharePoint Online files after about
2 minutes, this is certainly unacceptable. Otherwise, locally stored files close normally and new files were created by the Office 2013 Excel/Word for this testing.
Any thoughts or guidance would be appreciated.

Hi raygabe,
I couldn't find the document mentioned there is any compatibility between Office365 SharePoint online and Office Home and Business 2013 version, I would recommend that you check if the issue could be reproduced on other Win7 machines installed with Office
Home and Business 2013 installed directly instead of upgrading from Office2007, see if issue is related to Office application upgrade.
I also recommend that you post this issue on our dedicated Office365 SharePoint online forum and Office 2013 forum for a better assistance with more experts regarding this issue from the following links.

How to get the name of the city and state of the current location of the user

Hi all
i need to get the name of the city and state (full address) of the current location of the user.
need help.

The best way to do this is to put the monitor name as a property bag in the script and pass that to your event details. Otherwise, we're looking at querying the database each time the monitor generates an event, and this is overhead that is really not
necessary. The other option, which is just even worse in terms of performance, is to use powershell to query the SDK for the monitor name. Both of these options are not going to be a good solution, because now you need to implement action accounts that can
either query the database or the sdk.

How do you host a domain and several email addresses from that domain with OS X Server?

Right now I have a domain name through GoDaddy.com and one email address to that domain...we will have about 5-8 in total...How do I setup OS X Server to host our own domain (without using GoDaddy) and setup our own mail server?

There are several steps that you would need to do.
Set up OS X Server with mail services and users. Also, you may have to have your OS X mail server relay messages through your ISP so you can email people at other domains.
Set up firewall/router to forward IMAP/POP and SMTP ports from your external IP address to your server (which is either in the DMZ of the firewall or on LAN).
Set up DNS records so your domain name points to your server (and if you do not have a static IP address, you will need to set up dynamic DNS). At a minimum you will need 2 DNS records: an A (or AAAA for IPv6) record for the server (I think it can be the root of the zone) and a MX (mail exchange) record.
If everything is set up correctly, you should have a mail server hosting on your domain with your server.
Those would be the major steps you would need to complete. Details on the exact procedure for each of these steps can be found reading the OS X Server documentation, documentation for your router/firewall for port forwarding/NAT, and your specific DNS service.

How to get client machine name and IP address

Hi,
In my office I have one SERVER which has FORMS & Report Server installed and all the clients are accessing that application thru the following URL :
http://OraServer:8889/forms/frmservlet
to get the machine name I have read into a global variable like this
SELECT USERENV('TERMINAL' ) into :global.clientname FROM DUAL;
but obviously all the time its returning the SERVER machine name...not the name where client is accessing the program....so how can I get the client machine name..
thanks

Hi Frank,
Well I am using Developer Suite 10g Release (10.1.2.0.2) ..I've gone thru the link what you have sent me and noticed that whatever updations of conf file or classpath its already there so i guess needn't to modify cause I think my release 10.1.2.0.2 has did already as webutils been bundled with it.
Well What i did is to double click on ATTACH LIBRARY and browse the location to find webutil.pll and finally attached it...even though its showing me all the procedures like clientinfo and others...
on my block's canvas I've put a button and used this trigger to get client info function like this.
when-button-pressed trigger of INFOBUTTON
DECLARE
o_clientinfo varchar2(50) := Webutil_clientinfo.GET_HOST_NAME ;
begin
message(o_clientinfo);
end;
but when I am trying to open this form its simply not showing up..strange thing is that there is no error as well...so plz kindly guide me how to get clientinfo hostname or ipaddress using that library function.
thanks

HT3275 Time machine at home and it will not allow me to remove the listing of my external hard drive from the excluded files list.

Please help guys, I have a Time machine at home and it will not allow me to remove the listing of my external hard drive from the excluded files list.
I am trying to use time machine to back up the hard drive. For backing up from Macbooik pro and Imac, there is no problem. It seems to not want to allow the external drive to be removed from the Excluded list and as such will not back up from it.
Is there a way to be able to transfer files (music, movies etc) to time machine, format the external drive then put the files back to hard drive?
Sorry it is a long winded question but it is driving me nuts that I cant sort this out.
The <Macbook and Imac are both running mountain lion.
Thanks Guys

As for the hard drive to which you have never been able to write, is it by any chance in NTFS format? OS X can read NTFS for importing files, but it does not contain code for writing on an NTFS volume. That's a choice, not a bug.
There is third-party software available to install NTFS-writing capability into OS X. An example is Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X. Another alternative would be to use a disk format that both Macs and Windows systems can use for both reading and writing; this would require either a new drive or erase the existing data.
If by "the new system software" you mean OS X 10.9 Mavericks, you may want to repost that portion of your query in the Mavericks forum at https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/os_x_mavericks . I haven't made the leap yet.
I don't know what other problems you have been having, so I cannot comment on them. You don't seem to have any other recent postings on these forums.

Replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 files server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished

I am wanting to replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 file server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished. For the moment I just need some "high level" guidance, little details can be worked out once I know
which direction I will go. I was considering that DFS might be a way to help get through the process although when finished the 2012R2 Files server will be by itself with no other file server planned at this time. DFS can stay installed for maybe
future purposes but clearly I wouldn't need the DFS Replication with only one machine.
Here's a few details of the environment....
1. DC's are 2012R2 but it is still 2003 DFL because the old 2003 DCs are still present. But likely they will be gone and the DFL elevated before I start on the File Server project
2. Nearly all machines in the facility have a shortcut on the "All Users" Desktop that points to the existing old File Server. Editing or replacing that shortcut would be a major pain,...hence why I want to keep the same machine name at least,
and maybe the same IP if not too much trouble. This way the existing shortcut would continue to work with the new 2012R2 File Server. The UNC path represented in that shortcut is also configured into one or more of our major business applications,
futher emphasizing the need to keep the UNC path the same throughout the process.
3. The facility runs 24/7/365 but is "light" on weekends. The political environment is such that there is little to no tolerance for any down time at all.
4. Would DFS (based from the 2012R2 machine) be a good tool to get where I need to go?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Phillip Windell

Hi Sharon,
I've done some more reading and have a few new ideas to run past you....
Yes regular DFS wouldn't help and the Namespace would still be different than how it was with just the old server. However I was thinking DFS Replication could replace the purpose of RoboCopy and it would keep the two locations "in sync" until I was ready
to flip over to the new server. DFS Rep can exist independently of a DFS Namespace, so a Namespace is not even needed. It needs a minimum of 2003R2 for the "later & better" DFS Rep but I believe 2003 can do an "in place" upgrade to 2003R2, so I would upgrade
the old server to 2003R2 first. As long as the DFS Rep on 2012R2 and 2003R2 will properly interact I think that will work.
Thanks for the reg info on the Shares. I'm debating if editing that would reg file would really be much better than manually creating the Shares on the new server while the DFS Replication was doing its job. I'll probably export that Key as a
safety move whether I use it or not.
Once the DFS Rep is fully in sync and the Shares are in place on the new server, I figure I would then:
1. Remove the DFS Replication Object (optionally remove DFS Services completely)
2. Rename the old File Server to something else and set it to DHCP
3. Rename the new File Server to the name I want to use and give it the IP the old server had.
How does that sound?

Get Remote Machine Name and SerialNumber

Hi -
Looking to get remote machines name and serial number using computer names in a text file. THis is what I have but it's not working. ANy suggestions? TIA
$computers = Get-Content c:\GETSN\computerlist.txt
$computers | foreach { Get-WmiObject -ComputerName computers -Class Win32_BIOS | Select -Property PSComputerName,SerialNumber}

Are you sure that all of the machines are online and you can run remote WMI queries against them?
This should try to take some of that error handling into account:
Get-Content .\computerList.txt | ForEach {
$props = @{
ComputerName = $_
SerialNumber = ''
Status = 'OFFLINE'
If (Test-Connection -ComputerName $_ -Count 1 -Quiet) {
$props.Status = 'Online'
try {
$bios = Get-WmiObject Win32_BIOS -ComputerName $_ -ErrorAction Stop
$props.SerialNumber = $bios.SerialNumber
} catch {
$props.SerialNumber = 'ERROR retrieving value'
New-Object PsObject -Property $props
} | Select ComputerName,SerialNumber,Status | Sort ComputerName

Multiple Middleware Homes and Node Managers on the same machine.

Hi Experts,
Before I explain the issue we are facing, I would like to explain the environment.
- Single Machine.
- Multiple Weblgoic homes (I mean two weblogic software installations).
C:\Oracle\MiddlewareODS
C:\Oracle\MiddlewareIAM
- MiddlewareODS has a domain called "ODSDomain" with the maanged servers ods and oif.
- MiddlewareIAM has a domain called "IAMDoain" with the managed server oim,oam,oaam,and oif.
Our requirement is to have seperate nodemanager for each domain and they belong to different weblogic software homes.
- MiddlewareODS node manager port is 5556
- MiddlewareIAM node manager port is 5557
Though we configured different port for each node manager , we are not able to start both the node managers. We are able start only one node manager at a time.
My question is, Can each weblogic home has it's own node manager on the same machine ?
Thanks

Nodemanagers are not domain specific. Thus you can have one nodemanager in one machine and have multiple servers from multiple domains managed on that machine via this single node manager. You just need to update your nodemanager.domains properties file to have all the domains which your single nodemanager would listen to.

Finding Session Info (Machine name and IP address)

All,
I have a procedure that was called by an applition about three days ago. The issue is I want to determine the IP address of the application server that called the procedure.
We did not turn on auditing but the issue looks more like an unautorised call to the procedure and thats why we are more interested in th IP / machine name.

Perhaps you are looking something like this ->

Get Machine Name and IP Address from Air Flex App

New to Air..... Is there a way to get the name of the machine
and the ip address for the client running the Air application? Not
that this matters, but the applcation would be a Flex 3 application
built specifically to be deployed to the Air runtime. I need to be
able to have the Air/Flex application know what the client's
machine name and ip address is. Can this be done?
Thanks

Hi Frank,
Well I am using Developer Suite 10g Release (10.1.2.0.2) ..I've gone thru the link what you have sent me and noticed that whatever updations of conf file or classpath its already there so i guess needn't to modify cause I think my release 10.1.2.0.2 has did already as webutils been bundled with it.
Well What i did is to double click on ATTACH LIBRARY and browse the location to find webutil.pll and finally attached it...even though its showing me all the procedures like clientinfo and others...
on my block's canvas I've put a button and used this trigger to get client info function like this.
when-button-pressed trigger of INFOBUTTON
DECLARE
o_clientinfo varchar2(50) := Webutil_clientinfo.GET_HOST_NAME ;
begin
message(o_clientinfo);
end;
but when I am trying to open this form its simply not showing up..strange thing is that there is no error as well...so plz kindly guide me how to get clientinfo hostname or ipaddress using that library function.
thanks

To know windows user name and machine name

Is it possible to automatically populating windows user name and machine name in form field?
If so what should I do?

Hi,
You can, but it is considered a security risk by Adobe. Therefore you need to execute the script in a "trusted function". This is script in a JavaScript file that is stored in a set folder on the user's computer. This can make it difficult to maintain, as all users will need this .js file.
Also if you Reader Enable the form through Accrobat, then the script will fail.
See a thread here with examples: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2189021#2189021.
Good luck,
Niall
