Releasing ip address again!

my broadband connection has started to disconnect usually at least once whenever i go online, and up pops the BT Help telling me i have no connection,yet all the lights on the router are green and stable.
so i have to go through the BT desk top help in order to get back on line and each time it displays the message ..Releasing/Re newing IP address then follow the instructions which ends up switching off the router for 30 seconds then switch it back on again!!this does get me re connected again but its only started to happen within the last 2 or 3 weeks and i find it really frustrating as it can happen as soon as i access the internet or even if i have been online for a couple of hours tehn it happens.
Advice would be most welcomed as to how i can stop this keep re occurring ,as being a complete numpty where PC issues are concerned i havent a clue!

If lights on hub are blue that suggests you are still connected to internet. Are you using wifi or ethernet to connect to hub?
the forum normally recommends that you remove desktop help as it causes problems especially with wireless connections

I just got my Mac and I used my family Apple ID. It had all of my parent's information, I added my e-mail.I wanted to make my own Apple ID, but I couldn't use the same e-mail address again! How do I delete this information so I can make my own Apple ID?

It is not clear how or where you "added" your email, but you cannot create an Apple ID using an email address that is already associated with another Apple ID.
If that is what you did, delete that email address from your family's Apple ID. You should be free to create a new one.
Do all that by starting here: https://appleid.apple.com/
Select "Manage your Apple ID". Log in with your family's Apple ID and then delete your own email address wherever it appears.
Save Changes, log out, and create the new one using the same website. This time select "Create an Apple ID".
Please don't forget your security questions, and be sure to specify a "rescue email address" that is separate from all other Apple IDs. You will avoid so many problems that way...

Not releasing IP address

I've been having problems with my broadband connection for a few days and according to my ISP there is nothing wrong with the line or modem. They've told me that the cause of the problem is that my computers aren't releasing the IP addesses. Even when you try to force them to renew the DHCP lease nothing happens. This is happening on a PowerBook, iBook and a Win XP laptop. They are all showing the same IP address. I've tried reseting the AEBS etc and this worked once at the weekend but not since. My ISP has said that my computers all need to go for 'repair' to sort the problem which I'm not convinced is right. Is it not the airport that issues the new IP address rather than the computer releasing it?
I'm using a 6 month old extreme with a cable modem broadband setup.
I've also dug out my old slightly dodgy (signal drops a lot) graphite airport to try today but although I managed to get it giving strong signal, same IP address as other one and no internet connection when open browser, exactly the same as happens with extreme.
By the way, nothing else has changed, the network settings are correct and has been working perfectly up to now.
Any one know whats wrong or what I can do about it?
Please help!

PowerBook, iBook, iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) Airport Extreme

Woo Hoo!
As of this morning I'm back on broadband! Despite doing nothing at this end which completely validates the techs at Telewest being usless. The fact that two of them kept putting me on hold every 30 secs when I didn't give them answers they wanted as they went and looked up their manual was also a clue...
I connected the modem directly to PB and iBook at the weekend but it didn't work which made me more convinced it was at fault with ISP, but they thought otherwise as apparently my modem was responding to them when the tested from their end.
As my broadband has been working perfectly for the past 5 years I've never had much reason to be concerned with network settiings and how IP addesses work but over the pat few days I've had a bit of a crash course! I was begining to work it out in my head through trial and error so thanks for explaining it.
It looks like it was indeed a problem on the line. Hopefully thats the last of it. What was annoying me was that last monday broadand went down as well and when called ISP without them asking a lot of questions they told me somebody had already reported a fault and it would be fixed in a few hours which it was. However when it went again on saturday, they of course asked what OS I was on and the mention of apple resulted in ten million question and the fact that I'd repeatedly checked everything at this end before I'd called stumped them. They insisted that it wasn't right that the IP was the same therefore it must be my mac and it needed to be sent away, all 3 of them that is, and the Win laptop too for good measure!!
I now have dial up installed so never again will I have to take their word for it.
Thanks for yourr help

I have been successfully sending out e-mails to all people listed in a Group Address but yesterday only some of the people received their mail. Today I split the list, 25 in each Group Address, again, the same people did not receive their e-mail. Why?

I have been successfully sending out e-mails each month to about 50 people whose addresses are listed under a Group Name. Yesterday about half of the e-mails were received, the other half weren't. So I tried splitting the group into 2 separate Groups, again the list who didn't receive the first mailing again did not receive the second mailing. There does not seem to be anything that connects the recipients or non-recipients. They have a mix of providers, it was not just the first half of list that was affected, it appears to be totally random. Any suggestions?

Neither of these error message look like they're from Exchange.
Connected to 68.232.130.28 but connection died. (#4.4.2)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.
Sorry, I wasn't able to establish an SMTP connection. (#4.4.1)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue to long.
Are those from NDRs someone in your organization received, or are they from NDRs received by a sender outside your organization?
Is 68.232.130.28 your IP address? The IP address resolves to the name esa2.firstam.iphmx.com. Is that a MX for the recipient's domain?

Is there a way for internal DHCP Scope to release scope addresses when the wifi client has disconnected?

DHCP scope is configured on a WLC 5508.
I'm checking if there' a way for WLC to clear the dhcp leasing when a user is diconnected from wireless?

Unless the client sends a DHCP Release upon disconnect, which is not mandaded in the protocol, the lease will simply remain until it has expired. If you're concerned with running out of leases, you only have 2 options.
1. reduce the lease time of your dhcp scope
2. increase the network size to accomodate more usable addresses.
There isn't a way to force a DHCP address lease to be "cleared" from the WLC simply because the client was disconnected.

Released imports reappear again in STMS_QA list

Hi ,
We are experiencing a problem of reappearing of the released transports in STMS_QA list.
The logs show that one of the transports has been...
•Released to QA & imported (probably automatically).
•QA approved and imported into Production.
•Imported again to QA.
The importing again to QA has added the transport back into the QA approval list.
The import history shows that many transports are getting imported more than once. So this isn't a one off situation but an ongoing issue.
Can some one please suggest what's going on and how to fix this?
TIA,
Rakesh

Please see below the Transport Route
What I would liek to tell you that we don't face the issue for all the transport requests.,
There are few TRS which has been re imported as we can see from the import history list.
@Anita We don't change any default options while doing the import via "STSM" in production so getting issues for few TRs indicate the problem is somewhere else.,
Thanks all for taking the time out for answering my queries.
regards,
Rakesh

5508 WLC not releasing DHCP addresses

Have a WLC 5508 running 7.0.230 with internal DHCP server. Timeout is 3600 seconds. The IP addresses never seem to be released.
The controller will show 70 clients but 254 addresses will be assigned. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

#Check "Lease remaining time" change in this value on the WLC for the clients that are not currently connected and already connected to it. Watch if its getting removed/refreshed once the lease time is expired.
#Cross reference with cli as well.
#If its an open wlan, client pass by will get an ip, so what admin seeing could be new client keep coming in and its an expected behavior.
#Find if time is static or client's dhcp entry doesn't remove once lease time expired.
#Per design, WLC doesn't release the internal dhcp ip when the client sends deauth to WLC, however, it should when the timer gets expired for clients that were currently not connected.

Release email address from old apple id

long time ago - before family accounts - I created an appleid for my daughter so she could use facetime on her ipod - and used her email address as the appleid. Now in the process to set up a "family" account for her so she now has a icloud.com account. What I'm unable to figure out is how I can release her email address from the previous appleid so I can add it to the new Family account appleid. It keeps on complaining about already being associated with anothe apple id.
Any ideas on how to break through that??
thnx
Dennis

Right, once an email address is associated wth a particular Apple ID, it is forever tied t that Apple ID.
Not sure why you don't just set up an iCloud account on her existing ID and then invited her to join Family Sharing?

Another computer using IP address -again

Hi,
I have had to reset my network due to electrical work being done on the house. I am using an AirPort Extreme 802.11n 3rd gen at the base and a second AirPort Extreme 802.11n 5th gen to extend the range of the network.
When I called my service provider, Bell, they had me enter an IP address to establish the modem connection. I entered it on my laptop and not the the main computer (iMac) which is the one the network was initially set up with.
After that, with apple support, I was able to set up a new network using an AirPort Extreme 802.11n 3rd gen at the base and a second AirPort Extreme 802.11n 5th gen to extend the range of the network. Since then when I would use the iMac I was told 'another computer is using same IP address'. sometimes the internet would still connect. Sometimes when I would use my laptop I got the same message. None of the other computers or iPads have been affected.
After connecting the iMac directly to the base AP Extreme by ethernet and then disconnecting the ethernet net and restarting the computer, the iMac connects with the network. right now the iMac IP is 192.168.2.11.
While sitting in the same room as the Extreme base station I was able to go online with my laptop -macbook pro- and the IP address was 192.168.2.24
I then closed the cover on the laptop and went into another room about 15 ft away and I was unable to go online when the computer awoke as 'another computer is using same IP address' and my IP address on the laptop had changed to 192.168.2.13.
I restarted the same laptop and when it opened the first message was 'another computer is using same IP address' 192.168.2.13
When I went to apple support this time I was told that I would have to pay for support as opposed to my call of last week. That is why I have not called them yet. Hopefully someone can help me get things back to normal.
Thanks in advance
Kim

the Router Mode : Off (Bridge Mode)
Thanks for the checking that.
This setting confirms that it is your Bell modem/router that is in charge of providing IP addresses for every device on your network.
In Bridge Mode, the AirPort Extreme might be providing a wireless network signal, but it does nothing active as far as providing IP addresses to devices on the netowrk. The AirPort Extreme simply passes through the IP address settings that it receives from the Bell modem/router.
For some reason, the Bell modem/router is having problems keeping track of the IP addresses that it is assigning to devices on the network. I cannot say why.
Sometimes, an issue like this will go away if you power off the entire network....in any order that you want. Wait a minute, then start the Bell modem/router and let it run a full minute by itself. Start the AirPort Extreme next the same way. Keep starting other devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is up and running.
This simple reset will give the Bell modem/router a fresh start to get things straightened out. If you continue to see the same problems, then you have to go to the cause of the problem..the Bell modem/router. Perhaps a replacement may be required.
If you need to call your Internet Service Provider, you now have the information that you need. Unfortunately, ISPs tend to try to find a way to place the blame on any problem on any product other than their own, so you might expect to hear some creative things from them.

We had to change email and I can't access the old one. iCloud sends instructions to change passwords to the old account. I have tried deleting the old iCloud and create a new account, but it shows iCloud sent verification to the old email address again!

We had to change our email address and I cannot have access to the old one. I have changed accounts but iCloud sends verification instructions to the old address. I deleted the old but it won't let me access a new account without he verification and they keep sending it to my old email address.

Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer. I can't figure out why it won't let me do that.
The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos. I can't see videos, music, or anything else. What's going on?

Nokia Messaging New Release Sync interval again ve...

I´m very glad to see the actual release of Nokia Messaging, but as soon as I´ve installed in my E71 device I were very sad to see that nothing changed on sync intervals. I didn´t understand why nokia messaging has intervals like "2 Month", I´m not quite sure who sync his emails every 2 months´?????
1 hour is too long, and push email needs to much energy, additional for some account push didn´t work. Hoepfully the developer could change the intervals at least to 15 minute too!!!
It would be very easy to change for development and a big help I think for many users!!!
Message Edited by roni1979 on 14-Apr-2009 07:12 PM

If you're experiencing bad battery life, it's much more likely that it's because you're using your device more often in turning it on to check and send emails that you're getting via push delivery.
The amount of power that it takes to maintain the push connection is much, much lower than the amount of energy it takes to power the screen and run operations while you're using the device. And yes, we've done tests that determined it was more efficient to have "soonest" be the delivery option than to have it be every 15 minutes, thus, those are the options.
I'm not denying that it has an effect on the battery life, but it's a causal relationship.

Address Book-Same Address Again and Again

I am trying to figure out how to NOT to retype the address for several contacts at the same company address. Not finding any help yet in address book help.
Any suggestions?
TIA

If the additional contacts do not yet exist, copy the one that does and paste to make duplicates, then change the personal details.
If they do already exist, there is no shortcut that I know of to do it. You could copy the mailing label from one and paste it in another, but everything will go into the first address field. If there were a lot to do you could write a little applescript for it. Unless you are planning to produce address abels at some stage, why bother? Just note the company name.

Apple devices, not releasing IP addresses

Hi,
We have a Cisco 4400 controller and a mix of 1010 and 1131 access points.
We have been running out of IP's on our DHCP server because the apple devices are not releasing there IP's.
If you have experienced the same problem, could you let me know how you solved the issue please?
Kind regards,
Jamie

We've run into a similar issue and we tried lowering the dhcp lease time to 1 hour and this has provided some relief so far.
