Private network and configuration?

I've had my Airport Extreme for quite awhile, but it rarely has any problems. Just recently though, it got interference and when I tried to reconnect, I realized that it didn't remember my network name or my configuration. Is that a consequence of a private network or is there some way that I can check if it's not saving my info?
I've got Tiger 10.4.11 for Intel Mac Pro and the latest update of Airport, if that helps.

If you cannot remember your wireless network's name - then cable one of your Macs to one of the Base Station's LAN ports, run the Airport Admin Utility, and it will tell you.
If you also forgot the Base Station's admin password, you will need to do a soft reset per http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451 which will revert the admin password to the default "public".
Once you get control of your Base Station - don't ever configure it again as a "closed network". It provides absolutely no security, and certainly complicates your own usage of the Base Station.

  • OSX server + Private Network (and NAT) + Airport Extreme: Incompatibility ?

    DHCP on Airport Extreme (AE) prevents some private network configuration.
    *Imagine the following:*
    - An AE that shares a public IP for your private network (NAT) => DHCPd is on (not an option)
    - A Mac Mini with snow leopard and some services activated (Calendars, Wiki, Open Directory, ...) and a DNS with a private domain (e.g. you server is called: minisrv1.private)
    - Client with account linked to an account on the OSX server
    *Your problem:*
    You can't activate a DHCP server on your OSX server: it will conflict with the one in your AE.
    All your DHCP clients will get your AE address as DNS server and consequently wont be able to resolve any of your private addresses in your private domain
    Your server will advertise all it's services with private domain's addresses
    *==> All your client machines will get un-reachable services information (like iCal cannot connect to iCal server minisrv1.private)*
    A solution might be to "trick" down the DHCP on the AE:

    I don't believe your analysis is correct.
    You're right that when using the AirPort Extreme as an edge router connected to your ISP, and using NAT/DHCP to share its connect, the AE will configure all clients to use the AE as the DNS server (it actually acts as a DNS proxy).
    However, it is still entirely possible to use your own, internal, private DNS server for those clients.
    You see, the AE has its DNS server configuration in the Internet tab - this is where the AE will direct all DNS lookups, including those from DHCP clients.
    Your solution is to just tell the AE to use your internal server for its DNS. That way it will be able to resolve your .private domain, and will enable all DHCP clients to do the same.

  • WLC 4400 Not authetnicating between GUEST and Private networks

    Hello,
    I have a problem. I have a WLC 4400 and the problem i´m encountering is that when a user authetnicates to the private network, and then tryies to autheticate to the Guest network, it just stays there, it doens't do anything. Same way around, if you authenticate tothe Guest network, and change to the private network, it just sits there. I pointing that the problem is with Authentication, but not sure if i´m correct.
    Can anyone help me?? what ifnormation will i need to retreive from the WLC to see where the problem lies??
    I will get the debug mac addr <client-MAC-address           xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx> and repeat the issue in order to see if i get anything from the client.
    Thanks for the help
    Tony

    Thanks for the help.
    Actually the problem was that the WLC had a wrong time and also we had on our DHCP a 24 hour lease, so we were running low on IP´s.
    Change the lease for 8 hours and set the time correctly and the issue got solved.
    Thanks.

  • Build a gateway server for private network ???

    Hello all good friends,
    I has a private network, and one Linux box with public IP address, two NICs connecting direct to ISP. Now, I want to set up this linux box to operate as Gateway server so that all my private networks can use Internet. I have asked this question to many peoples and got much suggestions such as install IPchains (NAT server), IPtables (NAT server), SQUID (Proxy server), ... But until now the big question to me is which software is the best one, I mean which software allow my private network accessing to Internet fastest ? (Proxy server or NAT server only ?) and which one is the most secure ? Besides, you know another opinion, please tell with me if you don't mind.
    I very grateful to all of you answers me in all my life.

    Best thing I would suggest is to buy a Gateway Router. I have D-Link 804, but you can buy anything that pleases you more or suits your demands. Also this way, you donot have to have a computer "turned-on" all the time. Some other advantages are that functions like DHCP, NAT and other features are built into the router. This way you can connect upto 253 Computers to a router and also have a 100Mb/sec, internal home network. You can also go for the wireless option, if you have more money to spend. Just look up on the net for more information.

  • Metadata over private network?

    How can I tell if the Metadata traffic is going over the private network I have set up and not over the public one that allows my machines to get internet over. I set the machines up over the private network and they always showed up in xSan Admin as the private addresses until I plugged the second network cables into my Metadata controllers and two of my clients. Now they show up as the addresses assigned by my DHCP server on my local network.
    My few clients that are not on my local internet network still seem to be communicating to my metadata controllers on the private side. I just want to make sure I am getting the best performance and Metadata isn't flying across my local network.
    Thanks!

    I think you can do several things to check this:
    x listen on the wires with an ethernettool
    x check /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/config/fsnameservers
    x check /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/data/<volumename>/log/cvlog
    x check /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/debug/nssdbg.out

  • Webforms, Firewall and Private Network

    Hello,
    We have following configuration:
    Server: Formsserver 6i patch 13 on Sun solaris
    Client: WindowsXP with Jinitiator 1.3.x
    Connect-Mode: https
    Our configuration works with ClientPC which are
    not in a private network.
    If you have a ClientPC in a prvt network with a private ip-address is a communication with a formsserver possible?
    ClientPC (with private ip-address) <> Firewall
    <> Internet <> Firewall <> Formsserver
    The ports for calling the applet and the
    communication between applet and formsserver are
    opened.
    Jinititaor is configured with the proxy https-port.
    We get following errors:
    Java Console: SSL handshake failed SSl connection closed graceful
    the applet terminates with: FRM-92050
    Could it be that the webforms applet sends
    the private ip address to the formsserver,
    which tries to establish a connection to a
    non real ip-address???
    Is there a workaround?
    thx for any help

    You should be able to do this however it may be that it is the web server which needs to be "tweeked".
    Can you do something like <machinename>/forms60/f60servlet - this will at least ping the java servlet - if you can't even do this then its probably not Forms which is the problem but the app server set up.

  • Oracle RAC and crossover cable for private network

    Hi,
    I have the following configuration: two database servers, each has four network cards, two for public network and two for private, cluster network. Each public card has own IP-address and both have virtual IP-address, defined in operation system (SLES-9) for redundancy. Because I have only two machines in the cluster I want to connect the two machines for private with crossover cable without switch. For redundancy I want to make two connections between machines. Is it at all possible? How should I defined all network interfaces and what should be included in /etc/hosts for properly work of Oracle cluster?
    Best Regards,
    Jacek

    Hi,
    You can build a RAC witch CROSSOVER, but the Oracle no homolog.
    As you have 4 cards, 2 to public (redundancy) and 2 to interconnect (redundancy) you need of a software to to make a TEAM, and create a card virtual that will have a IP address.

  • Using Bride Mode to have private network to ethernet and wifi but also use Guest Network for public?

    Hello,
    I am trying to use my new Apple AIrport Extreme in Bridge mode to have our private wireless network. (This works great) and a guest network for the public. When I create the guest network and update settings and then attempt to connect to the guest network wifi it says no internet. :-(

    Apple assumes that you will be connecting the AirPort Extreme to a simple modem......not a modem/router.
    The correct Router Mode setting with a simple modem is DHCP and NAT....allowing the Guest Network function to work correctly.
    When you have a modem/router "upstream" from the AirPort Extreme, the correct Router Mode setting is Bridge Mode for the AirPort Extreme to avoid having two devices both trying to act as routers on the same network.
    You might be able to get away with having two devices both configured to act as routers on the same network....but at best, there will be negative consequencs. At worst, the AirPort Exteme may not function at all if you try to configure it incorrectly.

  • WRT110 Public and private network

    I originally set up my router on an XP desktop configuring it as a public network.  Later I decided to set up a home network with a laptop using Vista.  The laptop setup advised me that the setup should be a private network in order to work.  The internet works fine, but the computers cannot find each other even though I can see them on the laptop network.  Do I need to change the router setup to a private network on the XP desktop?  If so, how do I do that?  Or is something else going on here?

    As you told that you are able to see your computer on your Laptop, but you are not able to access them. Have you enable File Sharing on other computer, Is there any Firewall or Antivirus on your Computer Disable it and try accessing your computer on the Network.

  • Live Migration and private network

    Is it a best practice to put up a Private Network beetween the nodes in a pool (reserving a few network cards and switch ports for it), to have a dedicated network for the traffic generated e.g. by live migration and/or ocfs2 heartbeat? I was wondering why such setup is generally recommended in other virtualization solutions, but apparently it's not considered strictly necessary in OVM... Why? Are there any docs regarding this? I couldn't find any.
    Thanks!

    Hi Roynor,
    regarding the physical separation beetween management+hypervisor and the guest VMs, it's now implemented and working...
    My next doubt on the list of doubts :-) at this point is:
    I could easily set up ONE MORE dedicated bond, create a Bridge with a private IP on it on each server (e.g. 10.xxx.xxx.xxx), and then create a Private VLAN completely insulated from the rest of the world.
    I'd be putting the physical switch ports where the Private Bonds/Bridges belong to on the same VLAN ID.
    But:
    - How can I be sure that this network WILL be actually used by the relevant traffic? If I'm not wrong, when you set up e.g. a physical RAC cluster, at a certain point you are prompted to choose what network to use for the Heartbeat (and it will be marked as PRIVATE), and what network will be used by clients traffic (PUBLIC).
    In Oracle VM such setting does not exist... Neither during installation, nor in VM Manager, nowhere.
    - Apart from Security, I'm doubting that during heavy VMs migration problems could arise, because if the network gets saturated, there are chances that the OCFS2 heartbeat would be somehow "lost", therefore messing up HA etc. This is at least the reason why in a RAC setup a private network is highly recommended.
    - I finally found that doc you mention from IBM (thanks for pointing it out!) but my opinion is that THEIR INTENTION was to separate the traffic at the same way I'd like to, but there is simply NO PROOF that such setup would work... They do not mention where you can specify what traffic you want to be on what network...
    This is a very important point... I'm wondering why this lack of information.
    Thanks for your feedback, btw

  • Configuration for public & private network

    I am working on two Separated networks and different ip range, one of the Internet, second only to traffic between the editing workstation has tried to get the open directory path to a second network and here I am having some problems, such as that clients get their problems when login network accounts and the problem of the DNS, How can we bypass this problem??
    Please help

    Dear Mr.
    We highly thank your rapid response...
    Iam Morad Shalbak head of post production department in Palmedia company in Palestine, Our main stream work is video editing and post production films, we handle our edit using FCP program, my department use MAC PRO and IMAC computers.
    Our Problems located in the server and in the client, we have 2 ethrnet, 1GB network, on 2 separate switchers, diffierent IP range, what iam looking for is to set the primery eathrnet port on the server and client MAC PRO, only for internet traficing usage, the secondery port use for open directory traffic and file share traffice.
    To let you know i had these problems during installing the previous idea, first the open directory cant locate a clear path on the secondery eathernet port, since the open directory takes 2 IP (public IP and Private IP) in same time, second the client cant access the net work account, also the client cant see the server DNS.
    I will attache an discreption drew concerning my OPEN DIRECTORY on MY SERVER.

  • Mixing public and private networks on the same switch

    Hello Everyone,
    I know this may get some security engineers in frenzy but wanted to know if there is a safe way to mix public and private networks on the same switch. 
    We have many remote offices that we want to add public wifi and a couple of other services that would be completely outside of our internal network.  Each office has a 3750 with plenty of open ports.  How can I safely create a vlan for public access on these switches which currently have our internal network on.  I have read that people are doing this to save on the cost of purchasing a dedicated switch.  Some people are using access lists and one person mentioned creating a private vlan for the public network.  I looked up private vlan and it seemed bit confusing.
    Is this recommended?  If not what would be the safest way to do this?
    Thanks Everyone

    How "safe" is relative.  If your running just one VLAN on a switch, that's would be the safest (basically the same as mixing traffic on the same wire - separation is done else where).
    If you multiple VLANs on a switch, then you need to determine how likely someone might figure out a way to breach the VLAN barriers.  (This isn't so easy on newer switches.)  If the VLAN isolation is breeched, then you need to examine what does that imply from a security perspective (for example can someone now inject or receive other VLAN traffic).
    For most purposes, I don't see mixing public and private VLANs, alone, on the same switch as much of a risk.  More of a concern is what can be reached on either VLAN and how well it's protected.

  • How to install and configure ms exchange server 2007 both role hub and edge transport role in one network

    How to install and configure ms exchange server 2007 both role hub and edge transport role in one network 

    Hi,
    Edge role is design for perimeter networks, to keep security risks minimum.  So it’s not recommended to have edge role in internal network. Must have separate network or subnet for edge services.
    If you are playing around it in labs, then you can put edge role within same subnet as other exchange roles and no specific requirements in that case.
    Thanks.
