Setting static IPv6 DNS on EA2700/smartwifi

I have OpenDNS and Google set for IPv4. Is it possible to add static IPv6 DNS on the router? Not sure because of the format of "IP" address for IPv6 DNS. I have IPv6 and IPv4 DNS set on my end devices.

External DNS servers won't work with Smart Wifi firmware unfortunately.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

How to set static IPv6 address/gateway in Arch (NOT tunnel)

Hey Everybody,
Today I decided to install Arch Linux. There was only one thing that I did not understand, and that is how to set up a static IPv6 address. I have native IPv6 connectivity at home and in Debian I used to edit /etc/network/interfaces to set up a static IPv6 adress. Since Arch uses rc.conf, what is the syntax to configure a static IPv6 address?
I used to add something like this in Debian in /etc/network/interfaces:
> iface eth0 inet6 static
> address *my static address*
> netmask 64
> gateway *my gateway address*
Or can I still use /etc/network/interfaces in Arch?
Thank you for help.

It can be done quite easily using the netcfg infrastructure.
/usr/lib/network/connections/ipv6static
#!/bin/bash
. /usr/lib/network/network
ipv6static_up() {
load_profile $1
ip -6 a a ${ADDRESS} dev ${INTERFACE}
if ! [ -z "${GATEWAY}" ]
then
ip -6 r a 2000::/3 via ${GATEWAY} dev ${INTERFACE}
fi
ipv6static_down() {
load_profile $1
ip -6 a d ${ADDRESS} dev ${INTERFACE}
if ! [ -z "${GATEWAY}" ]
then
ip -6 r d 2000::/3 via ${GATEWAY} dev ${INTERFACE}
fi
ipv6static_$1 $2
exit $?
/etc/network.d/eth0static
CONNECTION="ipv6static"
DESCRIPTION="Static configuration for IPv6"
ADDRESS="2001:dead:beef:cafe::1/64"
INTERFACE="eth0"
GATEWAY="2001:feed:dead:beef::1" # Comment this out if no route needed
I haven't tested the gateway part, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You'll need iproute2, and to read up on netcfg (see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_Profiles) if you have trouble.

Setting Static DNS on E4200

I recently wanted to try using the Google public DNS servers on my home network. I have a Cisco E4200 router.
On the router's administration page, I set Static DNS 1 to 8.8.8.8 and Static DNS 2 to 8.8.4.4 and saved the settings.
Even after rebooting the router, the Setup page shows the Google DNS addresses listed above, but the Status page shows 65.32.5.111 and 65.32.5.112 as being the DNS servers its using.
Does anyone know how to set the E4200 to use different DNS servers?
Thanks!

Thanks. I ran the analyzer and in the direct probing of dns resolvers section, it showed this:
Your system is configured to use 1 DNS resolver(s).
The resolver at 192.168.1.1 (tampfl-dns-cac-112) could not process the following tested types: [snipped]
192.168.1.1 is, of course, my router's local IP address.

DNS Issues, can't set static DNS server

I have an Airport Extreme (which I'll call the router). It has an IPv6 tunnel (to Hurricane Electric), so it hands out IPv4 DHCP and announces an IPv6 network as well. The DNS servers configured on the router are OpenDNS'.
My Apple TV 2 is connected via wired Ethernet to the router. It was using a DHCP address provided by the router, which made the DNS server the same address as the router. I wanted to manually set the DNS to use my ISP's, so that I can make sure the Netflix streaming issue I have is not a DNS issue.
So I changed the Apple TV to a manual address, and set the DNS server to my ISP's DNS server (Apple TV can only have one DNS server? Odd.)
After I save this, the Network page shows the correct manual IP, mask, and router, but the DNS Address is an IPv6 address (one that belongs to my network, but the entire address isn't visible), not the one I set. When I Configure TCP/IP again, and I reach the DNS Address page, the first digit of the existing address is "20", and the rest of the digits are "0". Interesting note as well: if I press Down, the number will increment to 19, and so on, but if I press Up, it changes to 0. Obviously the UI isn't designed for IPv6 addressing, but there's an IPv6 address in there nevertheless.

I have tried to set the DNS Address multiple times now, and have restarted the Apple TV. The IPv6 DNS Address persists.

After 16 hours of working i don´t have seen this easy solution. I had tried with Internet Explorer and Opera but finaly i have need to use Firefox.
Thanks a lot to solve it.

What is the most appropriate way to generate a static IPv6 for a domain controller?

DNS Role Best practives is giving errors. Looks like I need to assign ONE static IPv6 to each domain controller and use IT in DNS and DHCP. There are two routers on the network, each assigning a 2002: IP, plus a link local FE80: IP is also assigned.
Is there a way to generate a static IPv6 for domain controllers that will not change even if the network cards or routers are changed?
What is the best practice so that domain integrated DNS and DHCP with Exchange 2010 in the domain, will continue to function?
There is ambiguous information as to whether DC's should have static or dynamic IPv6 IPs. I have tried variations such as IPv4 compatible. IPv4 mapped, ISATAP, etc. but over time have gotten different errors from different sources.
It is one thing for Microsoft to give error messages about IPv6 but I cannot find any definitive recommednations on this.
Thanks if anyone finds a universal answer.
Bob.

Excellent and valid points, Bob. Your outlook explains in an easy way how the challenges setting up Windows Server are in a sense, self-generated, and in every sense fully avoidable.
No changes have been made to the warnings or errors in 2013 R2 despite improvements in other areas. This release mainly brought improvements to the setup in areas that were truly broken like automatic account generation for ADFS. Since that's a decade old
feature it's probably best not to wait for Microsoft to clarify, and I appreciate your recommendations.
I'm bumping this thread since it's the first result for 192.168.1.1 on ipv6 on Google right now, and since there's no way to see how often it's being referenced I wanted to add some additional information.
Multiple NIC's can be specified by using the scope ID parameter supported since Vista, that appears as a percent-sign at the end of IPv6 addresses. It uniquely identifies the network adapter even when that adapter shares the same host portion of the IPv6
address space (i.e. essentially, has the same IP, which in IPv4 is invalid.) I'll give some examples at the end of the post.
Following the recommendation to deprecate the fec0 prefix while maintaining a link-local addressing scheme is possible through the prefix length at the beginning of the IPv6 address. As
this reference at IBM explains, fe80:: maps to a link-local prefix length of 64 equivalent to the IPv4 version of 24, and anything else before the double-colon refers to the network portion of the IPv6 address.
The host portion of the IP address then _could_ be ::20, ::21, etc., as you said, but to follow
this MSDN recommendation, it would be more appropriate to use the same host portion and add a suffix for the scope ID documented on that page. The suffix may be specific to Windows
and may not work in an equivalent way in heterogeneous platform deployments. But since the effect is limited to the local machine it should help anything past XP differentiate NICs when assigned the same host portion.
The approach taken in the random IPv6 generator linked elsewhere on this page leaves open the possibility, however unlikely, that the generated IP can route to some other host on an open network that happens to have generated the same network portion of
the address (the other host would be sharing the same network.) If any part should be random, it's the host portion after the double-colon, not the network portion at the beginning, so that the possibility does not exist.
Additionally, the host portion doesn't have to be random, it's just done that way because it's usually automatically generated; a random number is safer for a computer than relying on a sequence that may not fully cover all the numbers used so far. If you're
doing a manual deployment you can combine the above information with the inline 0-supression in IPv6 to assign numbers in the following way:
fe80::1:1%1 (first computer is 1:1, first interface is %1)
fe80::1:1%2 (second interface)
fe80::1:2%1 (second computer, first interface)
Effectively here we're swapping "192.168.1" for "fe80::1" which is roughly the same length (taking into account variations like 10.0.0). The only gotcha is that _either_ the string after the double-colon can't be 1 by itself since that's
reserved for local machine loopback, _or_ that the second-to-last number after the double-colons can't be 0, since that's equivalent due to inline supression.
Other combinations are fine, like fe80::2%1 and fe80::2%2 for the first computer, then ::3 for the second, etc. I thought having a 2-index for the first machine is too uncommon to look familiar so I chose the alternative, but even something like fe80::fe%80
is perfectly fine.
If you don't need to identify individual NICs then omitting the part after the percent sign makes fe80::10, fe80::11 a valid sequence for 2 computers. For over 255 computers just add another number before the last, so that it looks like fe80::1:10, fe80::1:11,
etc. That should be easier to remember than the randomly generated numbers.
There is also another way if the preference is to use IPv4-lookalike addresses. The mapped address spec is defined in RFC 4291 and it goes along the lines of "::ffff:192.168.1.1" for a valid IPv6 address to the gateway, for example. That is a newer
recommendation than the RFC which the random-number generated linked elsewhere on this page relies on.

Set up reverse DNS for virtual mail hosting

I need a bit of server configuation advice.
I have a static IP and two public domains on a Snow Leopard server connected using NAT behind a firewall - with the necessary port forwarding to ensure all works.
1. abc.com is my primary domain on the server - server.abc.com
2. I have xyz.com set up as a virtual domain and also as a virtual mail host
This setup has worked well for a long time but I have found that emails to [email protected] are going missing. If I check my mx records using one of the web based tools it show an error on the reverse dns for server.xyz.com showing a reverse DNS of server.abc.com.
So the question - is it possible to have secondary 'virtual' DNS record on the server so reverse DNS works for the virtual mail host xyz.com? If not how do I handle the reverse DNS problem which i think is causing some external mail server to reject mail due to the inconsistency on the reverse DNS lookup?
Many thanks for any suggestions

SMTP requires a DNS A record.
A DNS A record is also known as a machine record.
A DNS A record inherently means that forward DNS and reverse DNS will match.
The forward translation translates the host name to the IP address.
The reverse translation translates the IP address to host name.
When the full translation produces the same host name, that's an A record.
DNS CNAME records are aliases, and are used for virtual hosts.
CNAME records inherently do not match the reverse DNS translations.
To get your configuration to work, your server must have an A record.
That means forward and reverse DNS will match.
Any of the virtual hosts within your mail server then all use an MX pointing at the A record host.
If you have your DNS hosted somewhere other than your ISP, then you'll need your ISP to set up a DNS PTR.
The DNS PTR is the reverse translation; address to name.
If you have your own DNS services within your network (as would be typical with a privately-addressed NAT'd network), set that up as a virtual host within SMTP.
Here is some related reading on external (public) DNS, as related to SMTP servers and such.

Can I avoid setting up a DNS server?

Dear all,
I’m a newbie to set up a server but I recently bought a Mac Mini Server and I have some questions in setting up the machine.
My ultimate goal:
Set up a multimedia server in my Mac Mini Server which provide photos up / download and Quicktime video streaming services for my friends outside my local Lan.
My settings:
ISP (Dynamic IP) →DSL modem →Linksys Router (DHCP) →
1. Web Cam IP: 192.168.1.253 port 50000
2. Synology NAS IP:192.168.1.107 port 5000
3. Mac Mini Server IP: 192.168.1.108
4. Mac Book Pro x 2(wireless)
Since I don’t have a static IP, I registered a domain name which link to my dynamic IP. i.e. abc.viewnetcam.com
I can access my web cam and Synology from outside through port forwarding i.e. http://abc.viewnetcam.com: 50000 & http://abc.viewnetcam.com: 5000
During set up my Mac Mini Server, I was required to enter the Primary Domain Name, since I did not have a DNS server in my local Lan, I entered MacMinSserver.private
After I set up the server, I found that there was a message left on the desktop saying that; ….The domain name servers you’re using don’t have an entry for the domain MacMiniServer.private, and therefore your clients won’t be able to access your server using the name MacMiniServer.private…..
Now here is the question:
1. Can I just simply avoid to set up a DNS server in my Mac Mini Server? Cause it is very complicate; I have read up some information about DNS server settings which make me feel puzzle.
2. If DNS server is a must, so how can I set it? I have read the instructions in the HoffmanLabs, but after setting up the DNS server, how can I access my server from outside? Through port forward?
( Now I can access my server from outside in Safari with URL afp://abc.viewnetcam.com:548)
Many thanks.

I take some time to digest your suggestions. I’m convinced to build up a DNS server, although I don’t fully understand how it works.
DNS is a way to ask a server or a series of servers to translate a string of a specific format into an IP address. If you follow the article in your implementation, then the local DNS services will cooperate with and access external DNS servers world-wide for public DNS translations.
But then questions come up again, first what should be my Primary Domain Name?
I don't know what you're looking at that is using "primary domain name", but the "domain name" you use? I use real and registered and public domains for the domain on private LANs. It's simple, effective, and unique. And I don't have to deal with collisions. I don't prefer to recommend using a made-up domain, as it's a few dollars to get a real domain and then you don't have to deal with collisions if and when you need to expose parts of your network.
Here, a bogus TLD would be, for instance, macminiserver.myhouse.ngmy69; that's a top-level domain (ngmy69) (TLD) that is not allocated, and unlikely to be publicly allocated, and a subdomain (myhouse) of your choice, and a host name (macminiserver) of your choice. (There are around 300 TLDs already allocated and live, and more are on the way. com, net, biz, org, travel, cat, two-character country codes, and more...)
This is listed in the article, including the trade-offs, and including a description of bogus domains.
As you said that the external DNS and the internal DNS should be separately functioning, then is it true that I have the freedom to choose my Primary DNS name? Or I have to stick to certain rules?
DNS and IP routing work by cooperation. You have to stick to certain rules, and the article guides you through the four general choices for picking a domain name.
In my case, do I need to use the external domain name, i.e. macminiserver.abc.viewnetcam.com or I rent another registered domain name and it will be macminiserver.xxxxx.com or even I create an imaginary name?
After you get your LAN DNS going, then read the [dynamic DNS article|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1541].
Here, you've picked a domain (viewnetcam.com) name that's real and registered. That, and the use of the abc and macminiserver subdomains are something you'd have to work out with the folks administering that domain. While it is technically a domain name, macminiserver.abc.viewnetcam.com is also variously called a host name, as that'll usually have an associated IP address, and a subdomain like abc.viewnetcam.com might and variously will not.
With a real and registered domain (your own registered domain, or a DynDNS host), you can (later) choose to expose parts of your network. You don't own a DynDNS name, and DynDNS doesn't allow you to use various server functions and you can't use that on your LAN. DynDNS is a good solution for remote access into a home network and even for a VPN connection in but (if you're eventually looking to use mail or secure web access or other features) you'll usually end up using your own domain name.
The second question is that, how can I avoid using the subnet 192.168.1.0/24, as my router is providing the DHCP service, will that means I need to re-organized the whole network included the web cam and my Synology? Is there any simple way to achieve that?
It's the effort you think it is, and it involves getting that gateway server reconfigured to have its address in a different subnet and the DHCP server reconfigured to pass out addresses within a range within that subnet, and this is an effort that scales as your network increases and as you get IP addresses embedded. If you're going to do remote access via VPN, many home networks and many coffee shops will use 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24, and having the same subnet on both ends of the VPN means IP routing tosses a snit.

Setting up SLS & DNS in particular

I would really appreciate some step-by-step guidance on setting up SLS and DNS in particular. I've read all Apple's documentation and dozens of guides and discussions but remain confused about several points, and my set-up still isn't working correctly.
I have the latest SLS on a Mac Mini, which is behind my Draytek 2820vn router. I have 3 Mac clients (all 10.6.6) and 3 OSX devices. I primarily want to share address books and both share and sync (between devices) iCal. I want to be able to do this from outside my LAN, so need to run Mobile Access.
I have a static IP address from my ISP, to which my sub-domain (e.g. network.mydomain.com) points via DNS with my domain registrar.
I seem to have DNS running ok on the server, at least for my LAN (the -checkhostname and dig commands all return the right results). I can get my clients to log on to the network from within the LAN but not get iCal or the address books playing along.
I have enabled port redirection in my router for:
* iCal Server SSL on 8443
* Address Book Server SSL on 8843
* DNS on 53
* Web service on 80
* HTTPS on 443
I prefer to use SSL for maximum security (though am not sure if I also need to open up the non-SSL ports for these services).
So my questions are:
1. Do I need to redirect any other ports?
2. Do I need a reverse DNS with my ISP (i.e. external to my LAN), for the services I am wanting to run?
3. Do I have to enter the static IP address of the SLS in my router as the primary DNS, with my external DNS as the secondary? (I have done this.)
4. How should I configure the firewall on SLS, given its location behind the Draytek? I want a very secure set-up.
5. Does anyone have any other pointers on getting everything to work with this particular arrangement?
Many thanks for any expert feedback. Please note that I'm pretty Mac-proficient for a amateur, but have never set up a server before, so have a limited grasp of the lingo and things like command line.
Many thanks.

* iCal Server SSL on 8443
* Address Book Server SSL on 8843
* DNS on 53
Close that DNS port. You don't want to be fielding in-bound DNS translations.
* Web service on 80
Unless you're planning to serve web sites, close that.
* HTTPS on 443
Ibid.
I prefer to use SSL for maximum security (though am not sure if I also need to open up the non-SSL ports for these services).
[What IP ports need to be opened|http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1629] depends on what services are required, and whether or not you're using a VPN.
1. Do I need to redirect any other ports?
That's one only you can answer, as it is dependent on what you want to do here.
A different question that you want to consider for cases such as this is "how can I close more ports?".
The usual answer is via VPN.
One of many other answers can include a firewall with DMZ capabilities, and a network where you park the server in its own network jail. (A DMZ is a two-firewall firewall box; where you can have an untrusted WAN network, a slightly trusted but still restricted DMZ, and a more trusted internal LAN.)
2. Do I need a reverse DNS with my ISP (i.e. external to my LAN), for the services I am wanting to run?
For secure services, you'll want reverse DNS. That can include ssl services, though (with control over your clients and the boxes that are attempting to connect your LAN) it's not critical.
Reverse DNS is (far) more central to SMTP services, and to ecommerce, and to any cases where you don't control the remote clients, and where the clients are thus dependent on your forward and reverse DNS, and your certificates matching your DNS.
You need LAN-based DNS with Snow Leopard Server, either on the server or with another DNS server on your LAN. [Here is how to set up LAN DNS|http://labs.hoffmanlabs.com/node/1436]
Your ISP will not typically be in a position to provide DNS translations for the private address space. (That's shared and non-routed IP address space, so your ISP would needs to set up DNS for you.)
3. Do I have to enter the static IP address of the SLS in my router as the primary DNS, with my external DNS as the secondary? (I have done this.)
I don't run hosts as gateways. That's more work, and it's less secure.
4. How should I configure the firewall on SLS, given its location behind the Draytek? I want a very secure set-up.
There's no direct answer for that, and there are many different network designs and many different degrees of risk aversion and different degrees of budgets. For some environments, I run locked down. For others, not so much.
5. Does anyone have any other pointers on getting everything to work with this particular arrangement?

Unable to set Static IP in Wicd

Wicd will get an IP just fine if I let it do DHCP. When I try and set my static IP it acts like its connecting and then just says not connected. The wicd .log has:
Putting interface down
Releasing DHCP leases...
Setting false IP...
Flushing the routing table...
Putting interface up...
Setting static IP : X.X.X.164
Setting default gateway : X.X.X.1
Connecting thread exiting.
Sending connection attempt result Success
X's to not show my IP. I entered the same information into the Properties tab that I would in windows or that I do in rc.conf and resolv.conf that lets me set a static ip without using wicd. There is 2 lines that I dont have that I have left blank and wondering it this is why its not working because I dont know what goes in them. DNS domain and Search domain(i have no idea what these 2 are looking for). I tried entering the server names for DNS 1 and 2 but that didnt work. I tried just ph.cox.net and cox.net in the DNS Domain field and that didnt work. So now im stumped and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thank you for your time reading this and any help you can give.

Well that makes me feel better, I did leave them blank but it would not connect. I actually tried googles DNS in DNS 1 and 2 and received the same results as with my proper ISP's DNS.
I did not try Global DNS Servers way that you described, I was entering in the information in the properties tab. I will go ahead and try this method.
Im correct on my gateway, I run an ipcop box as my router and set everything in my house with static IP's so I have the DNS and gateway information correct.
Thank you for your suggestion, ill go try that and see if it works.
I am not sure if it matters but I am using wicd-gtk to set everything and not doing it through the terminal with just wicd or wicd curses.

Unable to set static IP to wireless printer Officejet 6600

First sorry my poor english, still keep trying We do have an HP Officjet 6600 Printer for about 6 months.This printer has USB and WLAN, but no LAN port. We used the printer until 2 weeks ago. At that time, **bleep** starts ...As long as we used the printer, he was connected via Automated WLAN (DHCP) and everything worked fine.The printer was connected to our WLAN Modem which assigned the DHCP IP Adress automatically.Then, our Internet provider updated our cable modem, which is also our WLAN router, and since that time, the printer does not work anymore. He always shows an error after booting, and told us to restart the printer, and all lamps of the printer are continously blinking. There is no way to access the printer menus on the printer.After a long and intensiv internet research, i found out that the cable modem is responsible for the printer error!It looks like the WLAN DHCP Server of the cable modem sends DHCP messages, which the printer cannot use correctly. If I shut down the modem (with the integrated WLAN router), the printer boots normal without an error, but I cannot use him becaused he is not connected to WLAN as because the modem is offline.So I wanted to set the printer to not use DHCP by assigning static IP to the printer. But this does not work! I tried 10 times or more to assign static IP, Subnet, Gateway and DNS-Server, no way, the printer always show "IP not set" (same for the others). Can anybody tell me why I'm not able to set static IP, Gateway etc. to the printer?!Thanks for every suggestion.

Hi , Thanks for reaching out to the HP Forums. I understand you are having some difficulty modifying your network settings. Since you now have a new cable modem, let's start with a more basic approach. Please use the following document for instruction to reset the printer to your new network settings: Connecting the Printer After Changing Your Wireless Network. You may notice, when you open the link, that the full title mentions the Photosmart B209a, the instructions presented apply to your printer to so please don't be alarmed. I hope this helps.

Having trouble setting up Open DNS with mac.

When I try to set up Open DNS I get the following error message:
Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.1.1/Basic.tri” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.
I have a Linksys router. I can get the router so save the settings using my Microsoft laptop, but I get an "oops" error message from Open DNS saying I am not set up on their site and just sends me back to step one. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

No, you cannot put the router in front of the modem.
You might look for any information your ISP gave you for your modem, such as a user guide. Or use the instructions at OpenDNS for a Motorola router, it should be similar. Remove the router and directly connect just one computer to the modem and try to access the modem's built in utility, as you have with your Linksys router. Motorola's default address appears to be "http://192.168.10.1/", the default username is "admin", and the password "password". If you encounter a question about obtaining the DNS service dynamically, check NO, then handset the OpenDNS servers, save and possibly restart the modem.
If you are successful in configuring the modem, go back to the router and leave the DNS settings blank, as well as on each computer. Then the computers should receive the service dynamically from the modem.
After all that, hopefully the OpenDNS website detects you using their service and allows you to proceed with setting up your account.

Set up a DNS on Solaris 8(SPARC)

Hi,
We have a ultra 5 machine. I am now trying to install Sun Internet Mail Server. One of the requirement for this is setting up of LDAP server. This does not install until a DNS is found. I intend to install the DNS on the solaris box itself. Can some one help me with the DNS installation and also the Mail Server setup.
Regards
Sunil

I can help you on setting up the dns, but this process
will be very long and I'll explain it to you.
Firstly , Install BIND v.9 from http://www.sunfreeware.com (package)or you can download the source from http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/ .
Installing package is quite simple, download the appropriate file and do #pkgadd -d bind-program
or if you download the source, then you need to configure and make the software.
I assume you have done this. Once you have successfully installed BIND, you need to check on your /etc/named or /var/named directory for the named files.
A sample configuration of BIND is below
$ cat /etc/named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named";
forward only;
listen-on port 53 {
192.168.x.1;
forwarders {
// ISP NS IP's here.
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd;

When you have created this file (named.conf) then you need to create hosts on your respective directory which you have defined , either /var/named or /etc/named this is where all the hosts will be and you can create this files manually and the format is like below.
Create a file called mydomain.com.hosts
and insert this
$ttl 38400
mydomain.com. IN SOA ns.mydomain.com. dnsadmin.mydomain.com. (
2001030701
3600
900
3600000
3600 )
www IN A 192.168.1.1
server1 IN A 192.168.1.20
ns IN A 192.168.1.2
mydomain.com. IN NS ns.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com. IN MX 10 mail.mydomain.com
For each domain create a file like this, you can add additional hosts in one file above.
Once you have done this you can start the name server , if this dns system is only going to be for internal use, it would be even simpler.
If you have any problems please mail me as posting here will take too much space.

How to set static IP for C4599 printer ???

Was afraid if we clicked 'answered' <per 'answer' below> we may never get an answer to a followup question to 'PrintDoc' at http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Networking&thread.id=5277 .
Hopefully this re-post will help.
Question/s...
1. When trying to set 'static IP', and click on 'this' link ( http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... ) at your email < below> get...
"An Unexpected Error has occurred."
2. Also, getting printing error after HP Director shows C4500 wireless connected and starts printing.
At 'Component Services' / 'Event Properties' shows...
"The document http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?HTMLVers owned by Alan failed to print on printer HP Photosmart C4500 series (Wireless). Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size of the spool file in bytes: 48960. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 2. Number of pages printed: 0. Client machine: \\AKM. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 2250 (0x8ca).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."
When click on 'events.aps' link get...
'Event Viewer' showing 'xpsp2res.dll' file info ?
Does #2. have anything to do with 'IP' question, and will 'static IP' fix ?"
Please advise.
Thanks much.

Re: C4599, wireless Error-Printing, unable to 'communicate' with the device ???
Sure we can set a static IP (actually we are going to reserve an IP address - even better). But first, please mark the post that helped you solve the problem as "Accepted Solution".
Connect to the wireless router by typing the IP address of the wireless router in the address field of your browser, then click Enter. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the wireless router. The wireless router will prompt you to enter the user name of 'admin' and the password. The default password is 'password'.
See the procedure on page 8-16 of this < http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... > document to reserve and IP address for your printer.
You will need the MAC address of your printer (this is on the Network Config Page you printed from the front panel of the printer).

Thank you for the followup.
Just got back to this thread after trying what you suggested re new install program.
Months ago, when originally tried to install new C4500, spent weekend, literally 4hrs on a Sat and 4hrs the following Sun with HP support on the phone trying to get C4500 wireless to work.
Finally downloaded a new install program and after installing that and making other numerous setup adjustments, which I cant remember, it worked (the only saving grace for the time spent) for a while.
But for the sake of trying, we did put in the original disk, just like page 4 (or our original paper manual) instructed (per your last post).
The disk loaded and the program did its thing and then get...
"A newer version fo this software is alredy installe on you HP HPPhotosmare C4500 series computer."
So clicked 'finish'.
Then loaded...
PS_AIO_04_C4500_USW_Full_Win_enu_120_210_NB.exe
...which we thougth was the new installer program which we downloaded those months ago (same one you suggested).
Started the '4 step' process.
Got to 'step 3' and it connected to printer with usb cable.
Along the way got message from 'network diagnostics'...
"The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name.
The gateway address of the printer does not match the network to which the printer is connected. Reconfigure the setting on your printer to match."
Tried changing ip addresses at network settings, but no help.
Clicked on disregard and proceed.
Started 'Network diagnostics' and got...
HPPhotoshopEssential 'install' bar window.
Either way, disk or new install program, get pop-up window with message...
'The feature you are tryong to use is on a CD-ROM or tother removabledisk that inot available. Insert the 'HPPyotosmartEsesential' disk and click OK."
Moved HP .msi and .cab files to same directory with ...NB.exe file.
Install went ahead, and then needed 'setup.exe'.
Opened setup.exe at disk and install went ahead.
Installed latext updated 'HP Solution Center'.
It showed both the C4500usb and wireless, but still wireless not 'connected'.
Ran diagnostics and got same 'diagnostics' message as above.
Made sure hardware enabled etc.
How to fix ?
Thanks again for your help !
