Setting up a Netgear WNDR3700 router to play nicely with Lion Server

I am in the process of setting up my first Mac Server. The router I have is a Netgear WNDR3700 and I was wondering if anyone has used this before in terms of getting port forwarding set-up so I can begin to activate services and access the server online etc.
Thanks in advance for any help or tips...

This guide is for Apple Remote Desktop, but if you repeat these steps for all the ports you require you should be good to go. Don't just open ports for the sake of it. Choose wisely and keep the list as small as possible. And make sure you have a firewall enabled!

How to for HP CP1525nw Apple AirPrint and Netgear WNDR3700 router

How to setup AirPrint on an iPhone & iPad with a HP CP1525nw and Netgear WNDR3700 router
Date written: April 17, 2011
I did this twice. It took 2 days the first time and 3 hours the second time.
Equipment used:
iPhone 4 on AT&T
iPad 2 on Verizon
HP LaserJet CP1525nw color laser
Netgear N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNR3700 v2
Abstract: Upgrade Apple products software, upgrade router firmware, upgrade HP Printer firmware and installer. In that order. Reboot a lot. Test as you go.
APPLE - Upgrade iTunes to the latest version 10.2.1.1 Released around mid April, 2011.
This will Upgrade iPhone 4 to version 4.3.2 (AT&T) Check in Settings under About.
This will Upgrade iPad 2 to version 4.3.2 (Verizon) Check in Settings under About.
NETGEAR - Upgrade the Netgear 3700 router from version 1.0.0.6 to version 1.0.0.8 using the built in webpage to check for updates. The router will download and install the updates. This will also update the built in Web setup GUI from 1.0.0.56 to 1.0.0.67. Power off and on the router. To see your version, check Status under Maintenance
Now is a good time to setup Wireless security in the router. Set to WPA PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES). Uncheck Enable Wireless Isolation.
Enter a password for both bands 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz, I used the same for both. (the iPad can use the 5 GHz WiFi band but not for printing {?} so use 2.4 GHz when you print.) You should give them different SSID names, like NETHOME and NETHOME-5. These will show up on your wireless devices (like the iPad but not iPhone)
Make sure your computer, iPhone and iPad can connect to the internet before you go on.
HP PRINTER – Go to HP’s website and down load the latest Installer and firmware for the CP1525nw.
Printer webpage
This is the webpage but you can just search for CP1525nw at the HP website.
Select your Operating System, such as Win 7 32 bit. And look at the list of downloads that appear below. Under Drivers (2), you want to download the HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver. It says it is version 2.0 The Installer you will use is version 3.0.3.5253 as you will see. The Installer on the CD is much older (1.4).
Now under Firmware (1) download the newest firmware utility for the printer. HP LaserJet Firmware Update Utility. The file name is CP1525_Series_FW_Update-20101125.exe [1/1, 6.87M]
Note the date is 20101125. My Printer had 20100430. These are the firmware version numbers.
So 2 programs from HP. One is the Installer and the other is the Firmware Updater. You can just click on the HP Full Feature Installer to run it. No CD needed anymore. You have to get the printer working on the USB port next, and then you can update the firmware in the printer.
You should uninstall any old drivers if it asks you. You are going to uninstall and reinstall 2 or more times. Uninstall old stuff, install new USB drivers from the new download, uninstall USB drivers, and install Wireless drivers. But first get the USB working and printing. Print Config from the printer control menu to see your firmware version…. Reports/Config Report. Look at Firmware Date.
Now you can double click the 2nd HP program to upgrade the Printer firmware. The file is called CP1525_Series_FW_Update-20101125.exe This will upgrade the firmware over the USB port. When it is done you will get a yellow Happy Face. You can print Config Report from the printer controls to see the firmware version… 20101125.
Power off/on Printer. Turn off cell phones, go into Airplane mode on the iPhone and iPad. You can turn on the iPhone and iPad WiFi but leave the 3G phone stuff off. This seems to be important, I think some of the “not found” problems are RF interference with the WiFi.
Run HP Installer again. Uninstall the USB driver and then run it again to install the printer as a Wireless Device. You will need to pick the router and enter the password so the printer can log on to the router.
Once you reboot the printer, check for the blue light on the front. Make sure the Wireless is turned on in the Printer Wireless settings.
Your iPad and iPhone will go through the Router and back out to the Printer to print. Uninstall Print n Share, Print Pro and other printing helpers. (for now) Try printing now. It doesn’t work with Notes, so try printing in Safari with the BoxArrow icon.
The first time you print, you should see the Printer in list, but I had to get out of the app and get back in to Print the first time. After that is works with the CP1525nw without picking the printer again. You will see a big print button.
We so excited…. AirPrint works. (Needs some printer settings…landscape?)
Disclaimer – I don’t work for Apple, HP, Netgear, AT&T or Verizon. I work for free… I would be willing to beta test for them, they need help.

My question is if its possible for the N devices to still use N network while the G devices not demoting the whole wireless network to G?
Yes. To do so, you would need to connect the Netgear to the new 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) by Ethernet, and then, reconfigure it as a bridge (disable both its NAT & DHCP functions).
In this configuration, the AEBSn & AXn can provide the 802.11n network and the Netgear can provide the 802.11g network.

How do I set up my Time Machine and Mac Mini with Lion Server so i have one wifi loop in the house?

HELP!
So I have had a Time Machine wifi loop at the house for approx. 6 years. I run two Macbooks, 2 iPhones, 2 iTouch and a Samsung Smart Blueray on the loop.
I just bought a Mac Mini with Lion Server. When setting it up I'm not sure what or how I managed to do, but I now have 2 wifi loops, one doesn't lock and niether will support the Samsung BlueRay. Also, each time I want to go online with one of the other Mac devices i have to relog into the wifi loop.
Can someone please walk me through the fix. The mac Mini is plugged straight into the Time Machine to recevie its internet connection.
Thanks!
John

You often see this limit of 10 clients in wireless hotspots but I have yet to see it in an adsl modem.. most strange way to pay for a service that is really irrelevant how many clients you use.
Have a go .. I recently setup a TC to help a guy run his Roku.. and this setup worked well.. I have no idea if it can work in your case.
Lets say the IP you get is 192.168.2.1-10 .. doesn't matter what it really is. And the adsl modem is 192.168.2.254
(Assuming they are private addresses.. if they are public IP you can just use the DHCP and NAT. )
But go to the airport utility.. I think you need to run v5 at least to change DNS.. but you can do the same thing in v6 using static but no dns changes.
Now you set the IP of the TC manually.. This address might need to be in the dhcp range of the modem to work. You can set the DNS to same IP as the router address.. ie home address of the modem. Or you can use another DNS.. whatever you like.
Then set DHCP for clients that will join.. this can then expand the scope of addresses..
It worked without a NAT error.. although I am not sure exactly how.. on paper it should not be able to work but did.. have a go.. otherwise there is perhaps another way.. but it is complicated.
Give us an example from a computer plugged into the modem of what IP .. subnet mask .. Gateway and DNS you get. Then I can fine tune the values for it.

How do I get Mac Pro with Lion Server to restart at a set time when users are connected?

I have recently configured a Mac Pro with Lion Server, and have set it to restart automatically every morning at 3am. When I arrive in the morning, I notice that it has not rebooted, usually because it states there are users connected. Is there a way to automatically disconnect users so that the machine will reboot. No one is ACTIVELY connected at this time of the morning, but may still be logged in somewhere. I did see where I can log out users after a set period of time when using Workgroup Manager to manage a computer or computer group, but I don't use the server to manage all of the computers that have users log in.
Thanks!

Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be each and every night, but it was for the sole purpose of preventing sluggishness. We had it set up before, as Snow Leopard Server and it would restart every night. It would occasionally be slow and need rebooting, however a manual reboot was not possible by most people in the store as they did not have credentials to screen share and restart it - which would result in holding down the power button to shut it down.
The server is used for the sole purpose of logging in about 50 users just so they can customize their experience, as well as saving items to their own home folders. The store is closed during the night, and there is no reason anyone would be accessing it during the night.

Anti-virus that will play nicely with VMWare Fusion

I am using VMWare to run my Boot Camp installation of Windows 7 (64-bit). I want to install anti-virus software that will play nicely with my Boot Camp installation and the same installation when run from within VMWare. I am thinking of Symantec or McAfee (which comes with VMWare). Any recommendations?

ITunes Library set up on NetGear R6100 router with ReadyShare from USB port?

Can the iTunes Library be set up on a NetGear R6100 router with it's NetGear ReadyShare feature. from a USB thumb drive or USB hard drive attached to the one available R6100 router's USB 2.0 port?
I have read the Apple forum post about a similar question for the more advanced NetGear R7000 router, which says it can work there. Unlike some of the other sibling Netgear routers that do not have ReadyShare, my R6100 does, which leads me to believe that it should work, since its the same technology (they both have a router USB port with ReadyShare). It just appears that the documentation is very limited. The other post said to format the USB drive to the Apple format (HFS+), rather than Fat32, get the Mac or Apple to see the iTunes directory located on the router's USB port.
I'd like to know if anyone has had any luck using the ReadyShare.feature on their R6100 for sharing their iTunes library to the same iTunes account on different devices (laptop, PC, AppleTV, iPod, etc). My Apple TV has recently acquired a problem of not being able to detect the iTunes library on my PC, aftert a recent iTunes update, but that's another problem that the forums show a lot of people having. So I figured that since my R6100 router has the ability to share media over the network, I would try to move my iTunes library there, hopefully to make it easier to access by my Apple TV, and make it unnecessary to have my PC running when I watch my purchased iTunes movies, that are stored in that library. Interestingly, my movie and TV show files are stored in my iTunes Music folder under the "Movies" and "TV Shows" subdirectories (folders). The way it is set up now, if I'm watching a HD movie purchased from iTunes with my Apple TV, the movie stops playing as soon as my PC is shut down, which confirms to me that the large movie files are being pulled from there to my Apple TV.

Oh groan, not another conspiracy theory. No, it's a lot more likely Apple and Netgear and the dozens of other manufacturers haven't gotten together with the thousands users who have come up with hundreds of thousands of ways of rigging things up and tested each and every one of them. I am confident if Apple were out to mess things up for you they could have come up with something a lot more devious.
Did you do a web search for this? With a Google search specifying Netgear with this error I found:
ReadySHARE USB Hard drive access issue from a Mac Computer (Time Machine or iTunes not working properly)
- Able to see USB hard drive content but unable to write to USB hard drive connected to router's Readyshare port from Mac computer.
- Error that says "The iTunes application could not be opened. Unknown error 13008"
http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/22763/~/readyshare-usb-hard-drive- access-issue-from-a-mac-computer-%28time-machine-or
In fact it is almost certain that it is an issue of that particular model router and the drive formats it can use.

HT2463 Home sharing stopped working. Windows 8 Netgear wndr3700 router

Have two AppleTv's that home sharing stopped working on. Windows 8 Pro, Netgear WNDR3700, Dell 9100 XPS. Have gone through two calls with Appletv support but no permanent fix. Homesharing says it's on. on the appletv's and itunes, all with the same id. One call had me power cycle my Cox cable modem, Netgear router, PC and Appletv's but no go. Second call had me disable Port scan and DOS protection plus change NAT filtering from Secured to Open.This worked for a couple day then nothing. Windows firewall is on, inbound trafic allowed from itunes.
PS3 and iPhones work fine on wireless
Anyone have other ideas? Thx.

This definitely helped. Trying this pointed to my PC. Turned out airplay was not loading when iTunes was started up. Had to restart my PC and then airplay loaded when I started up itunes. Once airplay was active home sharing worked on all my ATV's. I'll have to monitor and see how long this lasts.

Cheap wireless router that plays nice with macs??

Greetings:
I have the older cone-shaped airport extreme base station...
it's working fine & I'm very happy with it.
My situation is this....
Periodically I go thru times of network degradation when I pull my hair out trying to ascertain if the issue is my ISP mothership, my cable modem, the airport extreme base station, or any of the myriad of links in the chain along the way.
It's struck me on more than one occasion that it sure would be handy if I had *another wireless router on the shelf that I could grab & go with.
At issue, however are several matters:
--the fact that many other routers don't play nice with macs
--the fact that I **need to do WEP security (it seems to be being dropped by a lot of newer routers).......but my TIVO won't do WPA & also I still have 2 older imacs on my home wireless network.
I would LOVE to hear a recommendation of something cheap & locally plentiful (like at the local best buy) that still does WEP & will play nice with macs.
Thanks for your help.

You have the option to configure both your AirPort Extreme and the AirPort Express to "participate in a WDS network, so the Express will connect to the AiirPort Extreme using wireless only and then "extend" the reach of the wireless network.
Or, connect the Express to the Extreme using an Ethernet cable and configure it to "create a wireless nework", which will also provide more wireless coverage.....with greater bandwidth because you are connecting routers together using Ethernet, not wireless.
The following Apple document will give you all the options:

Time Capsule does not play nicely with Cisco Router

Three days ago, I had an older Linksys router attached to our ISP's cable modem by ethernet; the network included a wireless time capsule and apple express base station set up by our son last year (who understands this stuff, but lives 2,000 miles distant). The router died and I purchased a new Linksys router (E2500). It is occupying the same spot as the old router, but running with no security settings as yet. My wife's iMac and two Windows XP laptops work just fine on the network, as well as our NetFlix connection on our TV. My MacPro, however, can not access the main network - it can see it but won't grab an IP address. It will, however, see and connect to the router's guest account, although with reduced signal strength. The Time Capsule is now connected to the MacPro by ethernet (if I make it wireless, it will back up fine, but I can't access Internet or send email on the guest account). The AirPort Express is unplugged and not a factor.
Yesterday, I spent most of the day on the phone with Cisco (who claimed AirPort Express will not work with their routers, which I know to be, um, less than accurate), and with Apple Support - who did not help (other than to set up a Genius Bar appointment this morning at the local Apple Store). The Genius Bar turned out to be a disappointment as well - the MacPro with Time Capsule attached worked perfectly on the main network in the store, but at home, even with a test user account with Admin authority, as they suggested), no go.
If I unpower Time Capsule, I loose Internet. With Time Capsule plugged in, I can access my router's guest account -
Aside from returning this router and starting fresh with a different brand router, any suggestions?
Thanks for any guidance, suggestions, etc.

My first reaction is to suggest you ring your son.. !!
And I guess my second one, would be to remove the E2500, and connect the time capsule directly to the cable modem.. they are equivalent devices. The TC is an excellent wireless router and will work better as the primary router in your network. Turn off the cable modem so it can pick up the new device.. plug the TC directly to the cable modem then turn on both.
Make sure the TC is working as router.. and you should be able to setup the wireless to connect all your computers etc.
The E2500 can also be used as a WAP if you need more range. But be aware you have to make sure it uses a separate channel to the TC. Plug it in via ethernet to LAN port not WAN.. and turn off dhcp and set the IP to same IP range as the TC but make it outside the dhcp scope. So for example the TC is running 10.0.1.1 and then make the E2500 10.0.1.254
The express cannot do WDS to the Linksys.. so what you were told is correct. It may be able to connect via ethernet but not as repeater. But you can do that with the TC now that it is the main router.

Can one button type play nicely with others?

So, I'm creating this nice little movie that has 5 or so
buttons on it (think: click on image to see painting, like a
gallery) and I've got four of the buttons working nicely with a
little help from my friend Actionscript 3.0 (eventListener and his
friend gotoAndStop and some others). These buttons go to a new
keyframe in the movie that contain the images for each button.
Relatively easy.
My question concerns the last button. This button wants
information (text) to pop-up or go away when clicked irrespective
of what frame the movie is on. I can't for the life of me figure
out how to get this done. And in a related question, is it possible
for this button to stay in it's down state until clicked again
(like a pause/play button on a music player)?
Sorry in advance for this lame question and thanks for any
input.

Either create a movieclip with text and control its
visibility with the button, or have a textfield and assign/remove
text.
You cannot make a button hold a state when mouse events
change for it. You can either create a movieclip version of it and
control where it is in its own timeline, or have two buttons, one
drawn for the normal state and one drawn for the down state, and
control their visibility between each each on clicking them....
click one, it makes the other visible and itself invisible,
etc.

Wireless router that plays well with Apple Airport Express

Trying to find a router (with vpn and WDS- guaranteed) so that it will allow connection to apple wireless base stations and express units. Not all routers will, and many have misleading info on sites and boxes. Many routers seem to have very weak signals when connecting to Apple airport cards in apple laptops.
Anyone have any ideas.
I would like to see one that comes with DUAL WAN's and load balancing, or a way to connect such hardware together.

Hello All,
I had a very simple need, I wanted to keep my Linksys wireless router, WRT54G, not use 3rd party software and use the AirPort Express to send my Itunes Music from from PC that did not have wifi on it thru the network to a remote back rook of my house....after looking at tons of alternatives it was a really simple fix....
1. Load the software from apple that comes with the APExpress
2. When the wizard starts let it find your Airport....then choose manual set up...
3. Go to Tab Internet Connection
4. Look at the IP address listed...mine was 192.168.1.101
5. Go to the Linksys set up page
6. Applications & Gaming
7. Port Range Forward, List the word Apple- then open port 548 to 548 and then enable the IP that you saw in the IP listed in the Apple configuration window..Step 4 above
Perfect....wonderful....

Front Row doesn't play nicely with MP4's

Friends, I have several MP4 music videos which were downloaded from YouTube. They play fine in Quicktime, and Quicklook opens them fine. I dragged them into iTunes mostly just to see If they would play there. They work fine. The problem is that when I open MUSIC in Front Row, the videos are shown as an available playlist, but when I try to open that playlist, Front Row tells me that there is no music in the files. I wonder if I'm asking FR to do something it just doesn't want to do, or perhaps I need to rename the file, or store them in another manner in iTunes. It's not really a big deal, just one of those things that makes ya go Hmmmm....
For what it's worth, my QT version is 7.6, iTunes is version 8 and FR has been updated to 2.1.7.
I'll appreciate your insight.
Thanks
Jon

Yes, there are only three or four settings stored in there. The last module selected when you closed Front Row (Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, DVD, Photos, or Movies), the country your iTunes is set for (so Front Row can show the "top rated" items from the store) and whether or not you've turned on sound effects and/or the Front Row screen saver. No other preferences are stored there. All of the media-specific preferences are store in the application that controls that media (the DVD Player.app for the DVD settings, iTunes for the Music settings and iPhoto for the Photos settings).

M-Audio 61ES not playing nicely with Logic Pro X!

The 61ES has been doing some really wacky things: I opened it up out of the box for the first time last night and right off the bat the middle octave of notes on the controller were very quiet compared to the high and low notes on the board. It was like the velocity wasn't working properly on those keys or something. The sounds worked fine in Logic when I pencilled them in. But I was too tired to mess around with it more, so went to bed and figured I'd deal with it in the morning. So this morning, the middle octave of keys seems fine, but the middle G just won't play at all. And many of the notes aren't tracking, or playing- especially during fast passages.
I pulled up Pro Tools 10 and the 61ES worked fine. So something is going on between the controller and Logic. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm running it on a MacBook Pro with 10.8.5. And the latest version of Logic Pro X- 10.0.6. Thanks for any advice!

Try this....

Word doesnt play nicely with spaces

When i open up microsoft word i have it set up to open in my second space. the problem is, when i switch back and forth from that space to my first one or another space, and then back, parts of word get left behind. For instance, all the controls in the toolbox are just floating in another space, or my cursor is just floating in a random window. are people aware of this, is there anything i can do to fix it?

You said it in your Subject title - MS Office is not completely compatible with Spaces. Menus sometimes appear in Spaces other than where they were assigned. But that happens on my machine with other applications, like switching from a Space running Safari to an empty Space. Using the Control-arrow or Control-keypad-number to change Spaces may help.
It may be fixed in the next release of Office for the Mac, which occurs about every 4 years (Office 2000 to Office 2004 to Office 2008) so look for a fix in 2012.
