Setup for a static IP at work and a DHCP at home

At work, I must use my Macbook Pro running VISTA and connecting to the wifi using a static IP address. Under windows I have this setup as the "alternative address" so if I am at a wifi hotspot I can connect on VISTA without having to change the ip settings to DHCP. It is pretty convenient.
However when I am in the OSX side, I can not figure out to set up a static ip and a DHCP and connect without changing the ip settings when not using the static IP address.
Anyone know if this is possible

You might try setting up different locations (System Preferences > Network, the top pop-up menu, choose Edit Locations then Add, etc. I have a Work location setting, and a Home setting - the Work location is set for 802.1X and has appropriate proxy server settings, etc.
It still wouldn't be automatic, but at least it would only be changing a single menu item. There's a shortcut to change your location in Apple menu > Locations.

  • I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM

    I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

    What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
    Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
    1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
    school or company network?
    2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
    3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
    Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • I have used Firefox for over a year. For some reason it quit working and I can't seem to fix it. I uninstalled and reinstalled the download and it's still not working. When I click on the icon it says unable to connect.

    Yes, if you repurchase it you may lose your progress. The exception would be a game that stored all your progress on a server under your ID
    If you want to retain your progress you have two choices:
    1. Don't apply the update.
    2. Use your fathers account password to update the game.

  • HT204074 I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account.  How can I sync both computers to a common song library?  ITunes Match?

    I have a PC at work and a Mac at home. Both run Itunes under same Apple ID account.  Each computer's itunes library is common by around 75% of the songs.  How can I sync both computers to a common song library, so that all songs can be updated for both computers?  Will ITunes Match do that?

    I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

  • Why does my iPad continuously closes from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

  • How do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages? it worked and now not.

    how do i fix my printer when it won't show the print preview for web pages?  it worked for a while and now it doesn't.  printer is an hp officejet 7310 all-in-one.

    I would suspect this is a hardware issue.  The rollers are probably having issues picking up the relatively smooth thick media.  You might have better results be cleaning the paper pickup rollers with a damp paper towel.  Also make sure the paper is snugly loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.

  • Best setup for iMac with SSD & HDD? Best location of scratch & home folders

    Best setup for iMac with SSD and HDD? Best location of scratch & home folders?
    Computer:
    iMac 2.93 GHz Quad core i7, 8GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD
    There is not much info from Apple about the best way to set up an iMac with a Hard Drive and Solid state drive. I’ve looked at a few of the forum posts across the web and came up with a plan and lots of questions. (I do use photoshop frequently, but not on a professional level):
    1. I will keep OS and Applications on SSD
    2. About moving the home folder: I saw some posts about moving the whole home folder, but it makes more sense to me to only move selected fodlers withing the home folder tomake the best use of the SSD. So will keep the home folder on SSD, but move certain folders (document /music/iphoto/download) to 1 TB HDD via instructions I found on the macintoshperformanceguide website:
    cd
    sudo cp -r Documents /Volumes/Master
    sudo rm -rf Documents
    sudo ln -s /Volumes/Master/Documents Documents
    3. I would like to get 8 more RAM when I can afford it
    4. I will attach an external hard drive for most of my documents and backup storage
    5. Now here is where I’m not sure what’s best:
    a. Should I partition my internal 1 TB hard drive and use the first partition as a scratch disc for photoshop and other applications? How much should I partition? Is there any benefit to this if the rive is partitioned?
    b. Should I use an external drive as a scratch disc?
    c. Any advice on a good 1-2 TB external drive?
    d. Should I just leave things in factory settings?
    Don't assume I know the basics - I got all the above just by searching around. Any advice and commentary is appreciatedThanks.
    Message was edited by: sfandtheworld

    Thanks for the advice and the links. yes, I would like to speed up ps as much as possible.
    I wonder if putting the scratch disc on the same drive as the OS would cause them to interfere with each other? Even if they are on different partitions, they would not be able to be accessed at the same time, or could they? That's why I was wondering if I should place scratch disc on the internal HDD -- but then I don't know how much to partition for it (or to partition at all?)
    ALso, I read on a few places that too much read/write on the SSD wears it down over time? Is this more of a theoretical concerns - it does not make sense to me since it has no moving parts!
    thanks again for the advice ... I'm gonna go digest those links

  • Step by step complete setup for WRT54G ver.6 with Laptop and XBOX 360

    Hello.  I am sorry to post this, I am sure it is a juevenile and redundent question...but I have tried to look for the set up cd (I can find where to download it...though I can find the firmware upgrade or whatever).  My friend at work said it would do all the setup pretty much automatically for me.  
    I somewhat know computers, but you might go ahead and make your replies VERY lamen's terms or I might not be able to follow.  Anyways, what I need, is a step by step/screen by screen directions for a secure network.  I have made a partial attempt at setting it up and it technically works, but I would feel better if I did the steps a-z in order, so I know that it is done correctly.  I also am not totally confident in its security as it is now.  (Also, technically, I did not check the XBOX again after getting the new laptop, I am just assuming it is still working because it was before).
    My problem is I can't seem to find very good directions for setting up the router...I only find partials or confusing directions.
    So here are the things I am trying to connect:
    Liksys WRT54G ver. 6
    Gateway Laptop running Windows Vista
    XBOX 360 - WIRED
    (I had a PC and a laptop, but they both died at the same time and I have only been able to replace the laptop at this point...the PC will come later and not sure at this point if it will be Wired or not).
    I have a cable Modem between the Router and the wall...I didn't look at that for brand/etc...but I can get it ASAP if needed.
    Here are the settings that I have so far:
    Changed the Router Name
    Changed the SSID
    Have DHCP set to 3  (XBOX, PC, Laptop)
    Wireless SSID Broadcast: Disable
    Username and Password changed to my own info
    UPnP: Enable
    I may have changed other things without knowing it.  So like I said, a complete, step by step screen by screen set up would be totally appreciated.  I haven't done anything in the security tab, all that is totally foreign to me, so I am just not broadcasting for now until I can get some help setting things up with you guys.
    And if someone is familiar with the Laptop/XBOX 360 setup, and I need to change any of the settings on the XBOX itself, could you please include that in your directions?  I know that isn't technically what THIS forum is for, but it would sure be helpful to me if you happen to know both parts anyways.
    Thanks a lot (in advance)!

    So all you just need to do is, secure your Wireless Network. Follow the setps bellow and change the settings on your Router.
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect... 

  • The contribute connection I setup for my client doesn't work for him, but it does for me

    I setup a Contribute connection for a client (I have Mac OS X 10.4.11). I tested the connection in another computer (a mac on the same network) and it works just fine. However when my client launches the connection in his computer (a pc) it get this error:
    "Contribute could not verify your connection key. A network connection to the server could not be establiched. Please contact your administrator for assistance".
    I'm the administrator, but it's hard for me to troobleshoot him, becuase the connection works fine for me. He also got a second error message:
    "Contribute could not connect because the server is down or not accepting connections. Please contact your administrator."
    I told my client to wait and try again later (I have had to do that in the past when setting my own connections, sometimes it works right away, sometimes the server doesn't respond on the spot). However I would like to know if any body else have had these issues and if the problem could be a network connection, and internet connection a mac-pc incompatibility, or.. what else????
    I appreciate any advice.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    So this is a "real" AIM Name (Not an @mac.com or MobileMe valid AIM Name) ?
    You can login on an older Mac  And presumably Here ?
    If you Migrated a User to the new computer you may find you don't have permission to Write to the Keychain and that chaning the Passsowrd is not actually doing anything.
    In Lion go to the Finder > GO Menu and hold th ALT key so you can select Library
    In the Library open Keychains
    Highlight the Login.keychain.
    Do a Get Info (CMD (⌘) + i keys together).
    At the bottom of the panel that shows should be Permissions and Ownership
    Your Account's shortname should be in the list.
    You should have Read and Write Permissions (you may need to click the Padlock)
    With the padlock Unlocked also click the cogwheel type icon and see if you are listed as "Make (Shortname) the Owner" (it should be greyed out if you already Own the file).
    In Applications/Utilities and opening Keychain Access should also list as many entries for the AIM name as you have changed the password for  (it creates a new entry rather than changing it)
    Check that one of these does hold the right Password. (Delete the others if required)
    I know that iCloud created @me.com names will only work in ichat 6 and the Messages Beta due to the way iChat 6 and above login to me.com and AIM so that AIM gets permission to read the password.
    I have not heard of this issue the other way round.

  • Went through setup for DVD PRO still not working

    So I have done what are the protocalls that are appropriate for DVD PRO and the problem now is that I cannot drag my compressor file into DVD PRO.
    It just bounces back to Finder or where ever else I find it. I give up don't know what to do now I am stuck. Thanks for everyones help. Also I still get the
    incompatible format pop up-I am totally against a wall-do not know what to do at all.

    I captured from mini-dv tape so I used dv 48khz or dv ntsc for my setup codec. I used send to in FCP to compressor. I used best quality DVD 90 minutes in Compressor. I am working with NTSC. I imported my compressed project clicking on asset. When I did this I get a box that pops up and says incompatible format.
    Problem is I have no idea how to get a compatible format or what they are talking about since I followed the
    correct protocol or at least it seemed correct to me. I know it is something I am missing-I just do not have the
    knowledge to trouble shoot this particular problem. So that is where it stands of this moment.

  • Setup for 2 static private IP

    Need to knw how to setup 2 static private IP in my network.
    I'm using a wireless router (WRT54GL)
    Computer 1 is hardwire to the router, and I'm using it with a remote controlled webcam, so I need to forward few  ports to this computer.
    Computer 2 is used with a VOIP Hamradio setup ( Echolink ) and also need to forward few ports ( 5198-5199 UDP and 5200 TCP ) , this computer is on the wireless and is using windows 2000 profesional.
    Before I intall the router , I was using the computer 1 connected direct to the cable modem as a server with 2 network card, and a proxy to be able to run the program on computer #2, but know if the ip change then I have to change the setup in the router, but I'm not alway near the computer.
    The other computers I use is ok to have a dinamic IP, but computer 1 and 2 they must be able to be reach from the internet.
    Can somebody help me .
    Thanks
    Ben

    I did that, but it conect to the network, but not to the internet, and they have to be able to connect to the internet.  I gues I also need to enter the DNS????
    To see what I'm doing, you can visit www.miseta.com and look for the webcam in the dropdown menu, the webcam is coming from computer #1, if the internal nerwork IP change, then I have to change the ports redirection in the router manually,  before I didn't have to do this because  there was no router, and I was using computer #1 direct to the modem, and the computer #2 connected to a wireless acces point thru a switch and to the second network card in computer #1 and a proxy in it was redirecting the ports to computer #2.
    That's why I need to have statics IP on both computer, or a way to increase the time on the renewal of the IP , from 1 day maximun to 1 week or even 1 month or more.
    I wish there was a way to enter the computer name ( I was doing it like that before), like naming the router as Hostwhatevername and then the other computers will just look for the host-name.

  • Text box in page setup for P6 V8 is not working

    I tried to make my own footer & header  for the layout of my report for the software P6 V8 but it is not functioning in the field of Text/Box only.
    Even editing on this field is not working. I tried to reinstall the software, but nothing happen
    What should I do?

    Hi Athish,
    The only thing i can think of in the link you pasted is it has https instead of just http (i'm assuming you did put the real servername in).
    You could maybe try using the IP Address instead.
    Failing that try creating your own domain for it and see if it works like that.
    I haven't tried deploying it under a managed server nor do i let the P6 installer do any of the weblogic configuration so it could be something in the way it is deployed that is different than just creating a new weblogic domain with an AdminServer.
    Is there anything showing in the log file? Either P6 or Weblogic (you may need to set the logging level to debug)
    Regards

  • Recommended setup for live streaming of HD video and HE-AAC audio (5.1 channels)

    Hi,
    Could anybody please post a working hardware configuration for streaming HD video (720p) and 5.1 channel audio using HE-AAC via FMLE3?
    What is your experience and what kind of professional equipment would you recommend (camera, capture card, type of cables used, PC specs incl. CPU and memory, etc.)?
    I'm looking for a portable solution that ideally supports two concurrent streams (at different bit-rates) and multi-pass encoding (yes, I know that professional hardware supports that even for a live setting with a little delay).
    FMLE (or is it Windows?) seems to be very picky as far as the recognition of HD data from specific input sources is concerned. Hence my question before investing into new hardware.
    Thanks you.

    Flash Player does not support 5.1 audio at this time, only 2 channel audio.
    For what you describe, you may want to consider one of the streaming appliances or solutions from companies like ViewCast, Digital Rapids, or Inlet.  ViewCast and Digital Rapids both offer portable appliances.
    Flash Media Live Encoder does not support two-pass encoding, the only solution that I'm aware of that does this for Flash is Kulabyte that offers a 2-pass software solution as well as a complete solution with hardware.
    If you use a capture card with FMLE you'll be fine with HD inputs, the problem seems to be with cameras that only offer HD source as MPEG-2 and FMLE only supports RAW input at this time.

  • The link Adobe sent me for downloading CS5 didn't work- and this is how they suggest I fix it

    I just bought an iMac and wanted to transfer my CS5 to it. The new iMacs do not have disk drives. So, I'm trying to do it over the enternet. I called Adobe, and they sent me a link to download and told me to follow the instructions. I did. Nothing happened. I called again, they sent me the same link, told me to download a different file. I did. Nothing happened... well after 5 hours of downloading, it wouldn't install because it's from an "unidentified developer." Great. I called again. They said they couldn't help because they no longer support CS5. Even better. I was directed to the forum to fix my problem. So, could anyone please help me figure out how to download the product already own? I've been trying to get this to work for 3 day, and all I'm getting is the run around.
    Please help me.
