Problems with Bridge mode at a hotel

Hi there,
I have my Airport Express (N) set up to create a wireless network, use DHCP, and be in Bridge mode. When I plug in the Ethernet cable from a hotel (where you are required to subscribe and pay for their service), I can use the internet from my laptop wirelessly without problems. However when I connect to wifi from my iPhone 3GS, it connects to the network, but prompts me to repay for another service. The site also states that the price is 'per computer'. I was under the impression that when a router was in Bridge mode, it was invisible to the hotel network, and you can share the internet connection with multiple computers, but somehow the hotel is detecting exactly that. Am I missing anything here?

Sorry, the hotel router is configured to charge you for each separate device that connects. In other words, if you connected with your computer and paid the fee, and then another person tried to connect their laptop, the hotel router sees another device and will charge for that device.
Bridge mode on the Express allows you to configure your computer so that the hotel router sees your computer as the connecting device. Bridge mode is the only setting that will work correctly to allow you to configure your Express.
Specifically, the hotel assigns an IP when you connect your computer, if you try to connect another device, it needs to assign another IP address. The hotel will charge you for each IP address.

Problems with Bridge Mode - Please advise.

Folks I have my Time Capsule on our network in bridge mode to use it as a switch and wireless access point. Internet connectivity seems to keep having problems and I am not sure if my setup makes sense:
My Setup: Netgear DGN3500 Router (modem built in) ->Time Capsule (in bridge mode via ethernet) -> Network devices
Problems:
- Time Capsule TCP/IP has 169.xxx.xx.xx IP Address using DHCP, subnet is wrong (missing one "255" set) , router address is correct
- Netgear router sees Time Capsule connected with a proper IP address (192.168.1.xxx) in routing table
- flashing amber light due to airport not having a valid IP address even though I turned wireless off temporarily for the purposes of trouble shooting. I first just want to get ethernet working correctly
I've reset my router, the Time Capsule all settings, renewed DHCP Lease in Time Capsule...all the standard fanfare.
Any ideas folks or is this thing just done?
Tesserax if you're out there, please respond. I think you've addressed this as well, but I have no solution.

If my router is the DHCP server and my TC is in bridge mode (accepting DHCP info) shouldn't my TC be getting 192.xxx.x.xxx numbers and same subnet mask?
Yes. Have you power cycled the entire network as a troubleshooting step in this regard? If not, power everything down on the entire network, order is not important.
Start your modem first and let it run a moment by itself, then start the next router connected to the modem the same way. Start the Time Capsule the same way. Continue starting devices one a time the same way until the entire network is powered back up.
Additionally, if the TC is in bridge mode, can it serve other devices through the other LAN ports?
Yes. In bridge mode the ethernet ports are acting like a simple ethernet switch. Since they all behave like LAN ports in this configuration, try a different port on the Time Capsule for your connection from the switch to see if that helps.
I suppose I could tell my netgear to only give a range of addresses and the TC another range, but I didn't think I'd have to go through all of that.
I would not recommend that you do this. Even if you are able to avoid IP address conflicts, you'll have a Double NAT error on the network, at best slowing communications down. At worst, devices on one sub net will not be able to communicate with devices on the other sub net.
By the way I forgot to mention one part of my network - the switch (not the LAN one built into my netgear router). There's a 24-port
As a troubleshooting step, try bypassing the switch to see if that makes any difference in the performance of the TC. I like Netgear switches and have used them for years, but I've also had an occasional failure in several of their ethernet switches. It does happen.

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this?

We recently switched ISPs. To connect to the new ISP our Airport Extreme has to be in bridge mode. Now our Nintendo Wii won't connect to the Airport. Is it an issue with bridge mode that is causing this? We're running two Macs wirelessly with no problems. And the Wii did connect before the switch.

Hello and thanks for the reply. I gave this a try, turned off Airport on one of the computers and tried the Wii again. Still no connection. I should say that we're also running an old G4 (wired) off the Airport as well, with no problems. I've tried many things to make the Wii to work, including power cycling the Airport, turning off the security settings in the Airport, resetting the Airport to it's default and redoing the network, resetting the network setting on the Wii (several times), moved the Airport closer to the Wii, all with no luck. The Wii "sees" the Airport but won't connect to it. I'm at a loss for anything else to try, so any help is appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance

I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them, However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

Problem with Append mode in File Receiver

Hello,
I am facing some problem with Append Mode in File Receiver.
In channel config, i have given :
Construction Mode : Append
File Type : Text
Message Protocol : File Content Conversion
The size of the file which i am trying to send is about 9.5MB.
I got this error,
"Recovering from loss of connection to database; message
loaded into queue by recover job: System Job (Failover Recovery)".
So, it would seem that there was a loss of connnection to the database
while the file was being written.
Note - XI successfully recovered from the connection loss and
successfully wrote the file, however since the communication channel
was set to append, it appended to the partial file that was written
before the database connection loss. This is not correct. The file
should have been overwritten after the recovery even though the communication
channel was configured to append.
Can anyone help me on this regard.
Thanks,
Soorya.

Hi Venkat,
I would suggest u to split the file in to chunks if u face any problem in processing at a time in append mode and also
Memory Requirements are must 4 processing huge files:
Q: Which memory requirements does the File Adapter have? Is there a restriction on the maximum file size it can process?
A: The maximum file size that can be processed by the File Adapter depends on a number of factors:
o The most important one is the size of the Java heap, which is shared among all messages processed at a certain point in time. In order to be able to process larger messages without an out of memory error (OOM), it is recommended to increase the size of the available Java heap and/or to reduce the concurrency in the system so that fewer messages are processed in parallel.
o Another factor negatively influencing the maximum message size in releases up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13 is an enabled charcter set (encoding) conversion if the message type is set to "Text".
o Using the transport protocol "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)" also uses more memory for processing than the transport protocol "File System (NFS)" (up to and including XI 3.0 SP 13).
o If the Message Protocol "File Content Conversion" is used in a File Sender channel, consider that not only the size of the input file affects the File Adapter's memory usage, but even more the size of the XML resulting from the conversion, which is usually a few factors larger than the original plain text file.
To reduce the memory consumption in this scenario, consider configuring the setting "Maximum Recordsets per Message" for the sender channel. This will cause the input file to be split into multiple smaller mesages.
Plz do refer the following links:
U may plan the availability of ur communication channel using "Planning Availability Times" feature

Problem with Fullscreen mode

Hello. I have problem with Fullscreen mode in Pages 09. Let me explain it. I launch Pages 09 on space nr 4, than i activate fullscreen mode and now when fullscreen is active i switch for example to space nr 2. And what happens? Pages also moves to space nr 2, but i don't want to move my pages to space nr 2. I guess it is a bug in Pages 09. Thank you for your advice.

Hi There
By the sounds of this behaviour you haven't set any space options for Pages within System Preferences (Expose and Spaces Pane). After experimenting with different options this is what I experience:
1. Pages not listed in application assignment in spaces Preferences - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another pages window will follow and exit fullscreen (this sounds like what you are experiencing).
2. Pages set to every space in app assignment - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another and pages will follow but wont exit full screen.
3. Pages set to a single space in app assignment - Enter full screen in pages, switch from one space to another using control and arrow keys pages will pull me back into the space it is set to and will exit fullscreen. Using the control and number keys pages will stay in its set space but upon returning to that space pages had exited fullscreen.
I suggest you add pages to the the spaces application assignment in System Preferences by clicking the plus arrow under the list of apps and select a specific space for pages to open in, once open Pages will only move from this space if you move it manually.
You can send your feedback to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html if you wish
Hope this helps

Problem with passive mode FTP server and NAT

Hi,
I have a problem with Passive mode FTP and NAT.
I am trying to run both an FTP server and sharing the Internet connection via NAT. I have by the way specified the passive ports to use in ftpaccess (65000-65534). Everything works fine until someone tries to connect via Passive mode. I have tracked the problem down to the firewall and the rule that handles NAT.
Firewall rule config without NAT:
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
01000 allow ip from any to any via lo0
12300 allow ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any
Firewall rule config with NAT
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
00010 divert 8668 ip from any to any via en1
01000 allow ip from any to any via lo0
12300 allow ip from any to any
65535 allow ip from any to any
So, passive ports do not work when NAT is on. If I turn it off, Passive ftp works like a charm.
But how do I solve my problem? I have in my quest for the answer stumbled upon "-punch_fw" but do not know how to use it or if it even helps me at all?
Best regards,

Problem with Bridge CC

When I open my cr2 files in bridge cc they are opened in CS6 instead of in CC as before. I have recently uninstaled CS5 which I never use. Also when I open my jpeg files in bridge and photshop cc they are opened in another program. Please does anyone have a solution to this

Thanks for the prompt reply. This seems to have solved the problem.

By uninstalling the previous version you have fouled up the file association. You can try the manual method of preferences/file type assoications and changing the default. If this does not work there are other ways that involve more work.

Frustrating problem with Bridge 6.1.0

I have been experiencing a frustrating problem with Bridge 6.1.0 and previous versions. Soemtimes when I save a file to a particular folder, the file is present in the Finder window, but is not visible in Bridge. If I move the file from Finder to Bridge by draging it there, then it shows up but it is so frustrating to have to do it this way. I have tried to use the «Refresh» function in Bridge but that does not help. All scripts are turned on in Preferences- I have Mac OS X 10.9.4

The current version will not run on Mac OS 10.6.8. Thanks for any assistance.
The easiest way would be to update to at least 10.7.5 (supported on most older Macs) but maybe you have strong reasons not to do so, however it will put you in to more trouble in the future because newer applications have more often the habit of not being able to support older OS versions due to limitations of this old OS.
Here is the announcement of Adobe:
http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/moving-ahead-with-mac-os-x-10-7-and-higher/
However PS CC should still work on your system and otherwise CS6 should. As a cloud subscriber you still have access to both CC and CS6 on the Adobe CC download pages. But only PS is a major upgrade (changed to version 2014) and Bridge has just a minor update and should still work on 10.6.8 I would think?
Installing the updates and upgrades did not remove or uninstall the CC versions of PS, otherwise use CC application to install CC again.

Problem with bridge and getting internet on android

My ISP uses a modem/router that's mounted outside of my house. From there it runs into my Linksys E1200. Since it's a router connected to a router I have to use it as an access point. I don't have any cable connected to the internet port in other words.
So I get a cheap LG Adroid for wifi only. The phone hasn't been activated and it doesn't have a service plan. The wifi works on it though as I've connected and used the wifi at businesses that provide it for free.
My desktop is wired with a ethernet cable. My notebook is wireless and it connects and get the internet. So ISP router> Linksys in bridge mode. The cable from the router can be put in any port but it's in a yellow one. My notebook on the other side of the house conected via wifi and getting the internet.
My problem is the phone. No matter what I've tried it connects to the router but I end up getting a "Internet not availible: message shortly after. I didn't know whether to use the Linksys IP info to setup on the phone or the IP of my ISP's router/modem. I've tried to enter both on the phone when modifying the network.
I unplugged everything but my desktop and connected it to the Linksys. Did ipconfig /all. Used a browser to get to the Linksys setup. Set it in bridge mode. Disabled DCHP. All security is disabled., including the WPS that's a feature on my router. Specified my own IP info in the setup tab, using the information I got from the ipconfig. Rehooked up the cables in the back. All is well. I have internet o nthe desktop and the notebook, just not the phone. To get to the Linksys setup page I not longer do the 198.162.1.1. I enter the gateway of my isp's modem/router.
I've entered all of this same information on the phone with a static connection instead of DCHP.Choose a IP that was a few digits higher than the gateway. I still get the "Internet not availible" that Cisco reports back. On the desktop I pinged the IP I assinged my phone. Packets are recieved. I can aslo acces the Linksys setup page on my phone so it really is connecting to the router.
I'm at my wits end. I've tried different things, too many to remember. If anyone has any idea I would appreciate it.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No the phone should get it's IP from your DHCP server.
The IP Address of the Linksys is just so you can access it and has nothing to do with the network. You turned it into a repeater\switch.
What is your DHCP server's IP Address and DHCP range? This info will basically spell things out.
If you plug a computer into one of the Linksys lan ports it should work normally and so should the wireless devices in that case

Trouble with bridge mode and port forwarding

I have a Westell Model 6100F DSL modem in bridge mode into my network and I'm having trouble forwarding ports. Is there any general guidance available to do this. I have set many of my friends networks up to allow port forwarding but all have been on other service providers, mainly cable. (my experience) My network is the only one I have had trouble with.
Basically, my question is, while in bridge mode, does the modem forward all incoming traffic to my NAT router or do I need to apply special port forwarding settings in the modem to allow this?
If bridge mode is the reason I cannot forward the ports, can someone explain how to set the WEstell 6100F back to factory defaults so I can start over.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Paul

If bridge mode is set up correctly, your router should be holding the Public IP address (basically not something that is a 192.168 address) as shown at http://www.whatismyip.com/ and compared against what IP your router has.
If your router has the public IP, all problems lie with either your router or your PC's firewall and configuration. I'd check out portforward.com for some guides on forwarding ports for your router or poarticular application if you need some additional help.

Port Forwarding Time Capsule With Bridge Mode

Whoever says that the Time Capsule opens all ports if it is in Bridge Mode, it does not.
I have put my Time Capsule in DMZ, firewall disabled, and it is still blocking ports, except for a couple (Apple Filesharing, Telnet,…)
My TC was set up in Bridge Mode as it SHOULD indeed open all ports, but this is not the case, it seems you have to add the ports yourself.
How it works is completely not intuitive and i would even consider it a bug.
Adding the following port configuration opened up the port, even though it was blocked before adding it with the TC in Bridge Mode.
This doesn't seem to work for all ports however, so i am at a loss as to what is going on
I'm using the following site to test the Network ports
http://www.whatsmyip.org/port-scanner/
If anyone could explain or help out, that would be great
Kind Regards,

Hi, Thank you both for your continued support!
The main router is from our ISP, it is remotely controlled by our ISP and they will not allow us to access it and adjust/view the configuration ourselves (dumb, i know, but can't be helped), which is why is i went with the DMZ option, as i don't want to keep having to call them, wait and trouble shoot every time a specific port needs to be opened.
That router goes to 2 floors in the building, with a switch on the first floor and another one on the second floor, this second one extends the network to the third floor. My Time Capsule is connected to this switch.
The main router from our ISP has the IP 192.168.254.150 set up to be in DMZ (per request) as well as the, what they call, "soft firewall" disabled.
My Time capsule has it's network setup manually, so it has the static IP mentioned just above, the router is the main router from our ISP
Currently the TC is set up to to share that IP address using DHCP & NAT, where the private IP range identifier is different from the one used by the main router (TC is using 10.0.X.X) resulting in a double NAT, but causing no problem since the IP identifier is different
Ports that need to be forwarded have been mapped in the TC
IPv6 is configured to be setup automatically and it's mode is set to Native
The TC also broadcasts a secure wireless network
My Main Desktop (running OS X Mountain Lion) is connected through ethernet, directly to the TC
I have tried connecting to an external server @ IP XX.XXX.XX.XX on port 7777, but the connection fails
That's pretty much it i think.
