Printer Utility cannot lookup host computer for network printer sharing

Recently I set up a local net work. G4 Quicksilver is host computer,iBook tries to lookup host to print either from iBook or G4 desktop,get message "can't lookup host". I can access G4 desktop from the iBook, open documents and work on them and have (I think) set up the network correctly. I can access internet from both. I have a D-link router which I have used to access the internet with my iBook (has airport card) but recently installed an airport card in the G4. One thing I noticed was that the G4's name that shows up in the printer utility and in the "cannot lookup hos"message is different from the name I gave my local network, though the name ends in .local for both. Both identify my G4.I have tried AppleTalkon and off, when on my printer utility on th iBook shows the G4 printer as having the iBook as host. I use a CS6600 Epson standalone if that is relevant. Thanks in advance!

Disabling safe eyes does not fix this problem. You have to actually un-install safe eyes....
I found this out the hard way. After 4 hours on the phone with HP trying all different things, on two different computers....we gave up....
Both computers already have safe eyes installed. Both running Windows XP Service Pack 3. When you try and install the printer and configure for wireless, the program craps out and gives you an error message. We tried multiple things to no avail. I asked the rep, hey could this be Norton or Safe Eyes? I don't think so. So, this was referred to a Network SME. And I gave up.
Recently, I decided to give it a shot again. I un-installed Safe Eyes completely. No problem. Wireless printer softer installs, does not crap out, and I can print wireless!
Ok, so now I want to re-install safe eyes. After re-installing, wireless printing is broken. My theory is there is a incompatibility or conflict with one of the drivers. The dll that is mentioned is the icf.dll driver.
So, who is going to fix this? I've been using safe eyes for 7 years and don't feel like un-installing just to wireless print. However, the whole reason I bought this printer was for it's wireless capability! Help HP!

May a recent i Mac be installed as the host computer for a wireless community

May a recent iMac be installed as the Host Computer for a wireless community. The present situation is; the iMac is subservient to the e Mac. I do not want to have two computers. I have one guest on the wireless.

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:

Airport Utility detect/retain Time Capsule for network

Airport Utility won't keep recognizing Time Capsule. Works when I set it up, then when close computer and come back - lost network again.
I also have an airport express that is not being recognized at all??
Any suggestions

Airport Utility won't keep recognizing Time Capsule. Works when I set it up, then when close computer and come back - lost network again.
When having difficulties accessing the Time Capsule (TC) thru the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
o Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the TC wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.
o Power cycle the base station. Remove the power adapter's plug from the power outlet, and then, wait 15 seconds before plugging it back in.
o Perform a "factory default" reset on the base station.

Cannot Authorize My Computer for iTunes

Hello, I hope you are well.
I am running Windows 7 and have been using iTunes on this computer for about two years. About two weeks ago, all of the songs I have purchased from iTunes (a few hundred) could not be played because this computer is no longer authorized for some reason. When I check my account, there is only one computer authorized to play the songs, which is the computer I am on.
Whenever I start up iTunes, it says that "This computer is no longer authorized to play purchased items that are on the iPod "Victor's iPod". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?" I, of course, try to authorize it, but after entering my username and password (both of which I am completely certain is correct), I get the message "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (-42408)."
I have tried every day for the last two weeks using four different Internet connections. Once, and only once, I actually didn't get that message, so I thought my problems had disappeared. However, the next time I plugged in my iPod and started up iTunes again, the same issue returned.
I have spent at least four hours searching for answers in this forum and on Google.com, and have tried approximately 14 suggestions, from minor ones to major ones. Unfortunately, it looks like there are thousands of people with this exact same issue, and although some suggestions have worked for some, a lot of people are still experiencing problems.
Any thoughts on what I can do? Thanks.

Eject your ipod in itunes.
Then uncheck this box
the itunes menu > Devices tab
"Prevent ipods and iphones from syncing automatically"
Restart itunes, connect your ipod, and press the sync button.
This helped someone else with the 42408 error:

Cannot find Vista Computer under Network

i cant find my vista machine on my macbook when i open the network window...
my vista machine tough is able to find my macbook
and yes we share the same workgroup
can anyone help?

Some things to check.
Are you using a firewall on the Vista machine?
I use Norton on my Vista POS, and had to add the MAC address of the MACINTOSH to my list of trusted computers
If so, check to make sure that your Mac is included in the "safe" or "trusted" list.
On your MAC, under System Preferences, Network, make sure you've enabled SMB sharing. Otherwise, even though you are in the same workgroup, you will not see the Vista machine.
Hope this helps

HT1420 I cannot authorize my computer for my ipod. The option doesn't even appear!

I'm using my laptop now since my old computer is broken. But it won't let me authorize my new laptop. I can't access my other music and put it in my ipod, so this is very distressing.. What do I do?
The option to authorize it doesn't even show up though it still says my old broken computer is still authorized. (It's the only authorized computer, btw)

There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

Apple TV 2 Waiting for network services, unable to sign in to iTunes store

Received my Apple TV yesterday.
It is connected to my network (I have tried wired and wireless).
I can view movie previews and Podcasts.
I cannot sign in to the iTunes Store (therefore cant rent movies), cannot view Youtube videos (No content available), cannot use Netflix (Waiting for network services when I try).
I spoke to Apple support, they couldn't help. They say the problem is with my network or my ISP.
I have a Linksys WRT160N router, on which I have tried disabling the firewall.
My ISP is Telus, I am on their Fibre Optic network in BC. I wonder if Telus are blocking Apple TV?
Anyone else experiencing this?

I received my Apple TV yesterday.
I am running cable internet with 10Mbps constant.
So I connected it up and proceeded to issue after issue. I could not log into my Apple account. It was stating that my name or password was incorrect.
When I would start the unit it would stay at the waiting for network connections screen for several minutes!
I did all the tricks of turning the apple of and back on, NO FIX.
I tried to update the software, and I recieved a message that stated I have the most updated software, so....NO FIX
I did a full restore. The Apple TV downloaded the newest software and rebooted after about 7 minutes, NO FIX
I logged into my router and opened all ports, added ports 80 and 123, NO FIX
I also disabled my entire firewall on my router and turned off the WEP security feature...and what would you guess.....NO F I X!!
So I logged back into my router and reset all my original settings...still NO FIX.
SO here is the good part...Apparently the system has to connect to time.apple.com and get updated...it's sort of like a verification of the system.
So after it updated everything worked great! No unable to sign into my account. NO waiting on network connections anymore.
So the biggest advice I can give, especially after my 3 hours of gradually wasting my time until I almost threw the unit out my bedroom window, is connect it to your WIFI system and let it sit by itself for a few hours and let it connect to the Apple server.
Hope this helps everyone that, at some point, has shared my pain and frustration.

Does a network published shared variable drop the waveform attributes?

I have the analog input source for a waveform on one NI chassis. The trigger to begin the trend is on another NI chassis. Both of them feed data to a remote Windoze host. I would like to know how I can pass the waveform attributes, ie. Plot Names from the source machine to the Windoze host using a network published shared variable. I am using LV8.0. My two remote chassis are both running RTOS.
I can see that when I set up the DAQ assistant and named my aquired signals, that these names are passed to a waveform chart on the same block diagram. I can use them to update the Plot Names on my front panel. However, when I create an "Array of Double Waveform based" network published shared variable, and then read that variable from the Windoze host there are no attributes attached. The waveform shows up just fine.
I would like to be able to have the attributes update the plot name when I change the plot. I will have about 20 plots and I only want to display them a few at a time. I also want the user to be able to select which one they want to look at.

Hello,
I think you posted the same question to another thread, received an answer, and have now moved on. Anyway, the workaround to the problem is to peform flatten to string and unflatten from string operations on the waveform before and after sending it to the shared variable respectively. See the attached screenshot for the specifics.
I hope this helps!

JLS

DSC - Event triggering for Single Process Shared Variables

Hello,
I understand how to set up a Value Change Notification for Network Published Shared Variables so that an event will trigger when that particular Shared Variable changes. However, I can't figure out how to do the same for Single Process Shared Variables. Is this even possible? Can someone shine a light on this, please?
Thanks in advance.
- James Pham
Solved!
Go to Solution.

VRspace4,
Hello! It is not possible to enable alarming for Single Process Shared Variables. A workaround to setup a Value Change Notification would be to create a network shared variable that reads from your Single Process Variable, but at that point in time it might be worth just replacing your variable with a networked shared variable.

Wired Network conputer cannot find host printer

I cannot print to host printer on a home wired network.
Printer is HP Photosmart 7520 e all in one.
Host Compter is a Dell Dimension 8100
Pentium 4 1.3 GHz 2.0 GB RAM
Windows XP SP3 host computer.
Netgear N600 Dual Band Router
Model WNDR3400
Network Computer:
Nobilis
Pentium 4 dual core 2.8 GHz
2.5 GB RAM
Linux Mint 17 OS
Both computers share the internet without any problems. The Dell computer prints without any problems. The Dell computer properties 'share this printer' box is checked. I cannot find any IP address for the printer. When I printed out the printer configuration sheet, no IP address was given. When I go to the Control Center->Printers->local-host on the Linux OS, it says it is 'connected to local-host' and 'There are no pinters configured yet'. I then selected 'Add' to add a printer. A 'New Printer' screen comes up and ask to 'Select Device' and also 'Enter URI'. This is where I am stopped in my tracks since I have no 'URI'. Under the 'select device' side there are several options: LPT #1, Serial Port #1, Enter URI, and 'Network Printer'. If Network Printer is selected a dropdown list appears: The main heading is "Find Network Printer'. Selecting 'Find Network Printer' gives various internet protocols (ipp, ipps, https, ipp14, LPD/LPR Host or Printer, Windows printer via Samba, and APP Socket/HP Direct.
The Dell computer has alway worked fine and without problems (XP OS) on any HP printer.
This is where I am stymied! Can someone help me from here.

Anything different in network connection - you use wireless, they use ethernet, for example?

Airport Utility cannot find my Airport. It is nearby, no interference, and worked for about 9 months. The Airport still provides wireless internet for the household, though it won't recognize the printer -- plugged in or wireless.

Are you using the latest version (5.5.2) of the AirPort Utility to access the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)? Your tagline has it that you are running OS X 10.4.6. You would need at least 10.5.7 to run the utility. I assume that you are running the latest utility on another device ... correct?
When having difficulties accessing the AirPort thru the AirPort Utility, try the following, in order checking accessibility with the utility after each step:
o Check the local connection. If you are trying to access the AirPort wirelessly, make sure that you are connected to its wireless network before running the AirPort Utility to administer it. If you are still unable to access it with the utility, temporarily connect your computer directly using an Ethernet cable to one of the base station's LAN ports.

I got a new wireless connection for my mac and cannot figure out how to delete the last connection service I had. Everytime I shut the computer, the network goes back to the other one. I cannot find the file ANYWHERE

got a new wireless connection for my mac and cannot figure out how to delete the last connection service I had. Everytime I shut the computer, the network goes back to the other one. I cannot find the file ANYWHERE

Under Network Preferences, select the WiFi
click on "Advanced..." button
Select the network you want to delete from the list and click on "-"
Click "Ok"
Click "Apply"
Well done ;-)
You may also want to delete the wireless key from Keychain.
Open Keychain, seach for the old wifi network name, slect it and click delete

My airport network will not connect to to the internet via my modem. My host computer is a hp running windows xp. I have had great connection for 3 years. Then suddenly can not connect. Please can you assist

My airport will not connect to the internet via my modem. Worked for 3 years. Suddenly stopped. Main host computer is hp running windows xp.
When trying to connect windows states connection was cancelled. I have had hp checked by compputer repair and still have same problem?

The router is much, much newer than the computer, perhaps some characteristic of the WiFi network as it's currently setup is preventing the computer from connecting.
Try to go back to the basics: set your WiFi network to "b" mode only (i.e., turn off "g") and termporarily remove the password from it. See if the computer will at least establish a connection at that point. Then start turning on one thing at a time ("g" mode, then security, etc).
Not sure what format your WEP key is, but if it's not 10 characters (the minimum for the standard, which constitutes a 64-bit key), you can try making it that long. If it's 13 or 26 characters, it might be a higher encryption than the computer can support.
If all else fails, you could try looking on ebay/craigslist for a copy of Tiger to install on the iMac, which would have software support for more WiFi encryption schemes. Also, it would provide software support for USB WiFi adapters that would also be able to connect to more modern networks.

What happens when you try to activate the iPad using wifi?
If there is an error message, what is the exact complete wording of

You need to provide more details before some one can offer a solution.
