Simple IP routing in 10.4.8

I have a stupid question.
Here are the facts: I'm not a pro in setting and maintaining servers but I have a small server that helps my business. Until a few days ago everything was fine, the server was working (mail, web, dns, ftp and so on). My Internet provider decided to change my ip. The old ip was something like 86.55.111.82 with router 86.55.111.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. The new IP that the provider gave me is: xxx.xxx.206.9, router xxx.xxx.152.2 and subnet 255.255.254.0. After changing the ip, the server is working OK (after a little work to make all the settings again) except the gateway between my intranet and the internet. I've checked everything (NAT, Firewall, routing tables) but it is not working. The computers from intranet don't see anything from outside (ping from inside stops at 206.9, the router address is not responding)
Now the question: Is it possible that the strange ip address - router address do this routing problem (internet works fine on server)
Thank you in advance for any clue

To review your specs, to make sure we understand:
your os x server is running 10.4.8, and it is connected directly to your isp's internet (no other routers or firewalls in between), and you are running mail, web, dns, ftp, and so on; you also must be running NAT and maybe DHCP, to create your intranet, and the firewall service to protect itself and the internet...
Even though your new router address seems strange (ending with a .2 instead of a .1), I don't think it is the source of your problem, because your server does get the internet, which means port 80 is open between server and isp...
This leaves the possibility that port 80 is closed between intranet and internet, in which case you need to use the firewall tool in ServerAdmin to create rules that allow the services you want on the interface to your intranet...
If you are using DHCP, maybe the clients on your intranet are not receiving ips (check the client ip, and make sure it doesn't start with 169)
Did your isp have any dns records for your old ip that they didn't update for your new ip? Usually, your domain name should resolve to its ip address and vice-versa, the ip-address should resolve to your domain name: since, during startup, your os x 10.4 server queries its dns server to see if its name matches its ip, it won't get a match if it relies on itself for dns services, because it is still starting up and dns isn't running yet; therefore, either dns has to be running on different machine in your intranet, or your isp has to make some records in their dns, so that your server can check its name during startup; maybe your isp changed your ip address, but didn't update their zone info for your domain to reflect the new address. If you open up terminal, and type "host" followed by your domain name, and then "enter", it should return your ###.###.206.9, and likewise, when you type "host ###.###.206.9" it should return your domain name... if not, then you should ask your isp to add a ptr record for your domain name.
There are lots of possibilies, so will wait for more info before proceeding.

Help with simple interVlan routing on L3 switch

Hi all - I just can't get my head around this really simple interVlan routing issue. I have two VLANs (1 & 6) on a 3560 L3 switch. I simply need to route between them. Here is how I have it set up:
Firewall is the VLAN1 client's default gateway:
10.10.22.1 /255.255.255.0
3560switch config:
ip subnet-zero
ip routing
VLAN1:
(hosts on 10.10.22.x/255.255.255.0; gateway 10.10.22.1)
int vlan1
ip address 10.10.22.254 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
VLAN6: (hosts on 192.168.25.x/255.255.255.0; gateway 192.168.25.1)
ip address 192.168.25.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
ip classless
int gi0/31 (an available unused port)
no switchport
ip address ?.?.?.?
no shutdown
Is the issue that all my 10.10.22.x clients are going to 10.10.22.1 trying to find 192.168.25.x, when they would need to go to 10.10.22.254; then the switch should have an ip route of 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.22.1? Then give the router on gi0/31 the 10.10.22.254 address?
(as a side note, it would be easier for me to change the gateway's IP than to change each VLAN1 client's IP.)
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
With the above configuuration vlan 1 users will be going to firewll and if they want to reach vlan 6 firewall should have rule to permit for vlan 6 subnet and route towards vlan 6 interface and which is not there is your network.
Just clarify few things you want firewall to come into picture for every traffic which goes between vlan or not and in interface gi0/31 you will be connecting router also is this router is sending traffic to outside world if yes then you need to change some design configuration to route tha traffic from vlans to outside world.
If you want only inter vlan routing between vlan 1 and vlan 6 via firewall then make another zone in firewall and place that in vlan 6 with ip address as given in vlan 1 so that vlan 6 users can point traffic towards vlan 6 interface of firewall and in firewall just permit the vlan 6 communication with vlan 1 and drop a route for vlan 6 towards switch vlan 6 interface.
and if between vlans you dont want firewall to come into picture then the best is create three vlan one for vlan 1,vlan 6 and outside vlan between router and firewall and drop a default route towards firewall.In this case inter vlan routing will be taken care by switch and traffic towards outside world will scaaned as per rule given in firewall.

Migrating: Collo being difficult :( need some simple vlan/routing answers)

Hello,
I just purchased 2xc2950's, and a 515E.
One 2950 is for outside, one inside, with the 515E protecting the inside.
We have been renting these devices from our collocation, and the lease is up. So we've decided to manager our own, BUT, now they're being difficult with giving me ANY kind of information, (like configs, etc).
What I do know, is that the outside switch has at least 4 vlans.
With the 515E having settings such as:
nat from xxx.xxx.43.xxx to {inside}
nat from xxx.xxx.42.xxx to {inside}
What I would like to know, is what would be the best way to "migrate" everything over.
1. We have a redundant internet feed, is this possible with vlans?
2. What is it called, where all the vlans route traffic to the single port (firewall)? interVLAN?
3. Is it possible to link our 2950 internal to their internal? and slowly move the connections over?
4. would I need their routing tables to set things up properly?
Any help would be appreciated!
ps. anyone from the toronto area who's a cisco export that I can pick their brain for a day $$$ of course, let me know.

yes, it is possible to have a redundant internet feed, and it is possible with vlans. All the vlans route traffic to the single port (firewall)? interVLAN and this intervaln routing is same as normal one. Is it possible to link your 2950 internal to their internal but different network IP and VLANS may be assigned.

Hi,
Try with Usage 1 'production' & status 4 'released'.
Then click operations tab, enter the workcenter in the first operation & its control key for eg:PP01. Then enter the standard values eg:Setup time,Machine time etc.Then save it.
Also in cr02, check the task list usage maintained in the workcenter, try with 009 'all task list'

[***SOLVED***] Simple Linux Router Help

I have a computer with two network interface cards.
One card is connected to a computer called server.
the other card is connected to another computer called client.
This is the way its setup
server computer router computer client computer
eth0 <--------------------------> eth0 eth1 <----------------------> eth0
192.168.1.50 192.168.1.25 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.100
From the client
I can ping 192.168.1.25 and 192.168.1.200 but I can't ping 192.168.1.50
From the server
I can ping 192.168.1.25 and 192.168.1.200 but I can't ping 192.168.1.100
My question is how can I ping the server computer from the client computer and vice versa.
My previous solution was not the best, its as follows:
I got communication between the client and server computers working through the router computer before by using the following:
The libpcap packet capture libraries to capture packets from the server on the router's eth0.
Then my code injects the captured packet on to the router's eth1 to send it to the client.
The libpcap packet capture libraries to capture packets from the client on the router's eth1.
Then my code injects the captured packet on to the router's eth0 to send it to the server.
The problem with this solution is that it really, really kills the network speed. For example all the network interface cards are 100/10 Mbps speed and do about 45 - 60 Mbps between server and router, router and client but when I use the libpcap code to connect the server and client the max speed between the server and client is 410Kbps.

Assuming netmask 255.255.255.0 everywhere, you're using the same subnet on both sides, so you need bridging, not routing. Find a linux bridging howto and take it from there.
Alternatively, change one of the subnets, and go for the routing option (overkill for this setup, IMO, but it's your choice). AFAIR there's a wiki page about setting up an Arch based router.
Lone_Wolf's switch suggestion is by far the best idea, though.

Is there a way to add a static route in an Ipod touch ?

I am trying to get the ipod touch to configure correctly for our wireless network.
The wireless side does not provide DNS or DHCP directly . Rather this is done from a different
subnet . This assists to a small extent with our wirless security in that the attacker must also know
routing address and DNS and DHCP addresses to steal web access. In windows or Linux this can be done
by route add (DHCP IP Address) netmask 255.255.255.255 (gateway IP address)
and route add (DNS IP Address) netmask 255.255.255.255 (gateway IP address)
and manually specifying the DNS and DHCP addresses. Even if i manually enter the
the IP address without a simple static route I will not get DNS services across the gateway.
I am no apple expert but route add has been in use since the internet was still on 2 wheels
surely this can still be done ?
Thanks in advance

Simple VRF+BGP lab not working

I have set up a simple lab:
router A - 7200 IOS 12.2(27) JS
router B - 2611
There is a serial link between A and B.
On A the serial interface is in VRF.
The B router has no VRF - just ordinary IP.
I am trying to set up eBGP between them.
But the session does not start.
The A config:
ip vrf v2
rd 7:2
route-target export 7:2
route-target import 7:2
ip cef
interface Serial2/0
ip vrf forwarding v2
ip address 192.168.25.5 255.255.255.0
router bgp 65005
no synchronization
bgp log-neighbor-changes
no auto-summary
address-family ipv4 vrf v2
neighbor 192.168.25.2 remote-as 2
neighbor 192.168.25.2 activate
no auto-summary
no synchronization
network 192.168.6.0
exit-address-family
I have done some tests:
Ping from B to A works.
Ping vrf from A to B works as well.
telnet from B to A on port 179 gets RST.
telnet /vrf from A to B on port 179 works.
Debug on B shows session establishment attempts, but
with TCP RST response.
Debug on A shows the neighbor is Idle - no attempts.
On A:
sh ip bgp nei
BGP neighbor is 192.168.25.2, vrf v2, remote AS 2, external link
BGP version 4, remote router ID 0.0.0.0
BGP state = Idle
Last read 02:03:54, hold time is 180, keepalive interval is 60 seconds
Connections established 0; dropped 0
Last reset never
No active TCP connection
I know, that I am new to the VRF stuff, but it is very basic case. What am I doing wrong?
Michal

I have solved the problem.
The keyword is "bgp router-id".
I had no "normal" interfaces, all were VRF ones.
IOS apparently uses by default only IP address
from "normal" interface as a bgp router ID, so:
#sh ip bgp vpnv4 vrf v2
BGP table version is 1, local router ID is 0.0.0.0
As I have forced the ID (bgp router-id ...) all the sessions got up.
Interesting case.

Help for my new E2500 router port forwarding

My home web hosting used to work. But because of changing ISP from Verizon to TWC, TWC gave me a modem-router and I bought my own Linksys E2500 router. Both Verizon and TWC services I subscribed are Dynamic IP. I use a third party to redirect the web traffic to my home.
TWC gave me a simple modem-router in a box. Input is coax and outputs are 4 ethernet ports. I use one of the 4 ethernet outputs of the TWC box to connect to the internet ethernet input port of the E2500. All my wire and wireless devices are now feeding off the E2500. All wireless and wired devices work and can browse internet through the E2500.
I have assigned one computer as the web server and set the internal IP addess of this computer as 192.168.1.128. This is the same for the setup with Verizon before.
I loaded the CD came with the E2500 router and can see the LAN 192.168.1.128.
My problem starts from here, I do not know how to set the port in E2500 to make the web traffic to 192.168.1.128
1. Using the E2500 CD, I click to "APPLICATION AND GAMING", then "SINGLE PORT FORWARDING". under the APPLICATION NAME, I select one of the box to HTTP and type in 128 under "TO IP ADDRESS". I then click ENABLED, then "save settings" . The 192.168.1 is fixed in this window, I can only type 128.
This does not work. I can browse internet but cannot access my website from any machines using domain name.
Then I tried:
2. with item 1 above, I continued to do SETUP>>BASIC SETUP>>DHCP RESEVERSATION. I can see the compute/sever name and the 192.168.1.128. I then click the "select" and save the client.
I restarted the computer/server, I unplug and plug the E2500 power. I check the server internal IP address and it is still the same. But I just cannot browse to my website. I can browse other places.
Any idea of what is wrong on my doing? Please help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Your modem is a router. Any incoming internet requests end at the modem/router. You have to configure port forwarding on the modem/router first before the E2500 will see anything incoming from the internet.
Alternatives:
1. Set the modem/router into "bridge" mode which turns it into a simple modem. Then you can connect directly to the internet with your E2500.
2. Set up the E2500 as simple access point and keep the modem/router as your main and only router. Then all forwarding is done on the modem/router.

What is the best wireless router for my imac G4

i need a wireless router for my imac g4. Which one do you recommend? All all wireless routers capatible with macs?

As Donald mentions, the routers are all compatible with Macs, but the software CD that they include often has Windows specific software on them that is really just a front-end for configuring the router for use. It does nothing that you cannot do yourself manually by accessing the router through the IP address that gets you into the router settings.
If it sounds difficult, it certainly is not. Once you are in - and that is simple - the router's info is in a nice graphical interface that is simple to use.
I use a Netgear WGR614 for my mixed Mac-PC network at it works like a charm. I got it at Best Buy for $39.99.

Another user who can't use an Apple TV

After much anticipation I managed to get my hands on an Apple TV 2 days ago. Unfortunately, I seemed to have joined the club of folks who can't seem to get their Apple TVs up and running (see elsewhere on this forum, e.g. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12471381). The story goes like this...
1. Apple TV connects to my wifi, but then sits on the "Waiting for network services..." screen with pin wheel indefinitely (I waited for over 6 hours, periodically knocking the screensaver off, making sure it didn't go to sleep).
2. Pressing the menu button while it was failing to connect would take me to the main menu. Movie thumbnails were visible and I could watch previews. Couldn't connect to youtube but I could connect to my MobileMe gallery.
3. Couldn't activate home sharing as it claimed my iTunes Store username/password were invalid. This isn't the case as the same username/password combination work fine on my other machines (an iMac, two MacBooks and an iPhone). To be double sure I updated my account details to have a password with more than 8 characters including a number and a combination of uppercase/lowercase) and checked my c/card details were up to date. Still no joy. So, I can't connect to my iTunes library to watch video or listen to audio (making the ATV a bit pointless).
4. Having read all the discussion of this on the forums (and the Apple trouble shooting guides) I've tried the following
- making sure all ports are open on my router (especially the relevant ports for NTP etc)
- checking the network traffic was OK (all my devices are able to get network time OK, use Home Sharing withing the LAN, connect to the iTunes store etc)
- Updating to iTunes 10.0.1
- Turning off/on home sharing on my iMac
- Restarting my machines
- Restarting my router
- pulling my hair out
5. I called apple support who were useless. This was a real blow. In the past, I've always found Apple support to be brilliant, but today the guy I spoke to couldn't get me off the phone fast enough. All he wanted to do was email me a link to the support page, even though I had already told him that I had spent two days working through these!!! Totally useless. This is a real shame since the support was one of the reasons to choose Apple. If I wan't bad service, I'd have bought a Dell.
6. I returned the ATV to the Apple Store. Unfortunately, they were unable/unwilling to test it in the store but offered me an exchange or a refund. In the end I left with a new unit. Unfortunately this has not solved the problem - exactly the same result with the new unit.
So where am I left? Two units won't work in my home, so it's unlikely to be a faulty unit. I tried my router wide open (allowing all incoming/outgoign traffic) so I don't see that being the problem. My ISP (Plusnet in the UK) clearly isn't blocking the required ports as my other machines (using the same Netgear DGN2000 ADSL wireless router) seem to be able to use these ports/services just fine.
I can see that some would take the above as evidence that my network is to blame. However, all the tests I can do suggest that my network and router are working perfectly well and that the ATV should also work. At the end of the day, if I went and bought an airport extreme (which costs 150% of the cost of the ATV) I'd still have to connect to my ISP though my router since the airport extreme isn't an ADSL router. Frankly, I resent having to buy new routers just to test to see if the ATV will work. The kit I have meets the industry standards to the ATV should work!!
The replacement ATV is going back to the store for a refund this week, unless anyone has a useful suggestion?

Alley_Cat - all good advice, thanks. Sadly, I've already tried most of your suggestions...
Alley_Cat wrote:
You seem to be partially connected to the internet, so AppleTV is seeing the that, it looks as though LAN communication is the issue.
Yes and no. As I understand it, Home Sharing verification is via the iTunes store, and my account wont verify, so there are still some WAN issues. "Partially connected" seems to be the right word!
Alley_Cat wrote:
I can't say I've ever seen 'waiting for network services', but had problems getting Home Sharing to work initially as it seemed to disable itself when I pressed 'Done' at the end of the enabling process in iTunes. Try disabling/enabling again and not pressing done just clicking movies or something in iTunes - if I didn't do this the Home Sharing icon kept disappearing.
I've seen this reported elsewhere on the forum. Tried not pressing "done" after activating Home Sharing, but still no connectivity
Alley_Cat wrote:
I would be tempted to configure your router to assign a fixed LAN IP address for AppleTV based on it's MAC address, then restart everything. Also try temporarily disabling any wi-fi security, can you then connect fully (you may have done this I think)?
If you have a long ethernet cable or ethernet connection is simple (nearby router, or direct to a local computer) try connecting that to the router to see if it's a wi-fi issue.
Yeah, already enabled all traffic, tried with both fixed IP and DHCP assigned IP, both wifi and wired, Also tried connecting via my iMac. Makes no difference
Alley_Cat wrote:
You can clearly connect in part to the internet, but it's odd you can access MobileMe, and not YouTube. It would be worth checking your ISP is not blocking anything or having issues - you've already sorted the router by the sounds of it.
I contacted my ISP, but this seems unlikely. All my other Apple devices seem to be able to communicated just fine over the internet.

Don't have any of this software (and the software firewalls are all turned off)

I can't remember at the minute if AppleTV 2 has an iTunes Store country setting (old one did) but if your store credentials are not being recognised it could be defaulting to the wrong country for some reason, and not set to UK. Another possibility is that the authentication happens via iTunes (I don't think it does in all honesty), so if AppleTV isn't seeing iTunes, it may not be able to authenticate and gives a vague error message.
Early ATV2 users noted that they had to change the country settings from US, but mine was shipped with UK already set.

This is obvious but I assume you are not inadvertently trying to enable Home Sharing with your MobileMe credentials - it could easily be done, but doubt your doing that. I also assume you don't have multiple itunes Store login names.
One final thing I would do before giving up is to create a dummy account and set up a new itunes library with a few things in it, enable Home Sharing etc again with this - if there's a configuration issue with the existing user's iTunes account, or some library corruption, the communication could be falling over as it encounters an error in the library it can't deal with (poor error handling in itunes or AppleTv code).
Always good to rule out user-stupidity!!! :o)
I've made sure I'm using the correct username/password combination for my iTunes account (this is different from my MobileMe account). I've also made sure that my password conforms to the requested standard (min 8 chars, at least 1 numeric, at least 1 uppercase, at least 1 lowercase, no spaces). I've also tried creating a new iTunes store account. Still no good.

NetBoot won't serve more than SEVEN clients at a time

I'm running OS X Server 10.5.8 to configure a lab via DeployStudio. There have been no changes to the server or network since configuring it for the same purpose in 2009.
But when using the current version of DeployStudio (1.0rc133) to restore 10.7.4 to client workstations (iMac 12,1), only seven (7) at a time will successfully NetBoot. Any remaining clients give up NetBooting after a few minutes and boot to internal hard drives (regardless of whether booting with "N" key, "option" key selection of NetBoot volume, or setting NetBoot volume in Startup Disk).
CLUE: If I interrupt any of the seven currently NetBooted iMacs while they are restoring via DeployStudio (by powering them off), any other machines on the network already attempting to NetBoot will be successful, up to the maximum number of seven. Left to run, seven DeployStudio sessions complete successfully.
The past two times I've done network restoration of Mac labs (with NetRestore in 2006 and DeployStudio in 2009), I did not encounter this behavior.
Among other things, I've tried restarting NetBoot service and the whole G4 Server. I tried switching from the external DHCP server to OS X Server's "DHCP server" service. Tried this "Reset NetBoot" suggestion:
https://forgetcomputers.zendesk.com/entries/20335576-troubleshooting-the-netboot -service-on-mac-os-x-server
. . . no change in symptoms at all.
Suggestions?
Same as 2009 (when it worked successfully):
OS X Server 10.5.8
PowerMac G4 Dual 1.0 GHz
Network hardware and topology
DHCP server is via simple hardware router, and NOT from OS X Server
NetBoot images in default directory for OS X Server
DeployStudio images are served via AFP on same G4 Server
Differences from 2009:
New client workstations: iMac12,1(Old workstations iMac 8,1)
DeployStudio current build(rather than build in 2009)
DeployStudio Client Master Images are OS 10.7.4(vs. 10.5.8 on iMac 8,1)
NetBoot images (build by DeployStudio Assistant) from iMac 12,1 running 10.7.4(vs. 10.5.8 on iMac 8,1)

Thanks, Jeff. But I mentioned trying that in the last paragraph before the link in my original post. No help.

Mac shuts down without reason - mid use

I have had my G4 coming up for 4 years. I have noticed in past week that it shuts down - (showing 'power save' on screen) mid use. Is this possibly the internal battery needing replacement - or does it sound like some other problem? (It does not happen in any particular programme - although I notice it when using outlook express for mac - as this is what I am on alot of the time). I have checked all power/other cables/connectors - and all seems Ok there.

Hello! Have you checked the power settings in the
control/pref panels to make sure they're not set to
sleep. Tom
Hi Tom,
I have checked the 'energy saver' in prefs (is this where you meant?)... I have both OSX & classis both set to 'switch off after in-active use' to NEVER. I am scratching my head about this one as this is the first time this has happened - and I rarely change my prefs settings.
I read the article on re-setting the PMU, however I do not like to mess with the inside of my mac.
If the problem gets worse or persists I will take it to my mac man.
But if cost can be avoided and there is a simple troubleshooting route- would like to try that first!
Thanks for your interest/help.

Do I need to buy an ethernet switch that has a WAN port

I want to buy an Aiport Express to handle a WiFi only iPad and an old PPC iMac with 10.5.8 on it that has no WiFi card. The iMac gets on the internet from a cable plugged directly into its ethernet port (using DHCP). The cable comes off an antenna at the front of the cottage. A signal hits the antenna from a broadcasting tower about half a mile away.
I need to buy an ethernet switch for the Aiport Express to handle both the iPad wirelessly and the wired iMac. Does the switch have to have a WAN port or can I buy one with five LAN ports?
Message was edited by: Roy Vincent. Spelling error

So here's what I am planning to do. I get myself an ethernet switch. I plug my cable from my antenna into it. I run a cable from one of its five ports into my iMac. I run a cable from one of its other ports into my Airport Express. I configure the Airport Express in Bridge Mode. Now my wife can connect to the web wirelessly using the iPad and I can connect using the wired iMac --- and we can do so at the same time and indpendently of one another. No?
Sorry, but no.
You only have one IP address. With a switch feeding two devices, it will be a matter of chance as to which device gets the IP address.
The other device will not be able to connect to the Internet, since a switch cannot "split" the connection.
Instead, you need a simple wired router to "share" the public IP address that you receive. In turn, the router distributes "private" IP addresses to devices on your local network, so each device will be able to connect to the Internet.
As I mentioned, a switch cannot perform the functions of a router.

Trying to bridge connections to an xbox360 with no luck[SOLVED]

I am trying to set it up so that I can either 1) have an ad hoc connection between my arch linux computer so I can stream music to the xbox and/or 2) Bridge a connection between the ethernet link between the xbox and computer... to the wireless connection to the internet on a router.
I have configured my xbox to have a static ip configuration such as
192.168.1.3
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1
My arch computer is connected to the router (not with internet... just local) with an ip of 192.168.1.2 on the DHCP server. I am using networkmanager to get on the internet or do any networking. However, even though I am able to connect to the router and the xbox on the same router using ethernet cables... I am still unable to ping the xbox from my computer. Also, even though I have clearly specified a host name, the router doesn't assign a host name to my computer. UPnP is enabled and assigned to my xbox on the router as well.
I have tried to open up the networkmanager dialogue with the nm-applet and change the settings for a ad hoc network between the xbox and computer but I can't "save" the settings using the gui interface. I am not sure where to look in order to resolve these issues but if I can at least get my computer to connect to the xbox I believe I can work from there.
Thanks ahead of time for any help/suggestions.

As to the subnet, no 255.255.255.0 is the mask (there are 24 bits of '1' followed by 8 bits of '0') That means that the first 24 bits define the subnet. In other words, to talk to each other on a simple home router, the first 3 octets of the IP have to be the same (192.168.1.whatever)
Ah thats right.. thanks for clearing that up again.
Even though I have everything setup properly, I still can't ping or access the xbox from my arch computer. Would this have anything to do with host names? I know that when I am using the exact same setup when I am logged into windows the xbox has a name and it shows up in the network device list. Arch doesn't seem to show anything in the network except for the routers and the name for those routers. The xbox will ask me which computer to access... and it only shows computers that are "not listed"... which basically means the xbox either cannot see the computer on the network at all or the host name just isn't showing up. I have a host name setup for arch.. which is why this is confusing for me.

Error when using 64-bit host in send port

Guys,
I am trying out a simple message routing scenario. I have created a send pipeline and have used the MIME/SMIME component in the encoding stage of the pipeline. My application has a receive and a send port with receive port configured to receive *.xml documents
and is using XMLReceive pipeline. My send port uses the pipeline I have explained above and contains a filter to BTS.ReceivePortName=="[receive port in the application]". The send port is also configured to use a certificate. The send handler is the 64-bit
BizTalk host. When I drop a message in the receive port, message in the send port gets suspended with error "Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {254B4003-2AA7-4C82-BB2E-18BA7F22DCD2} failed due to the following error: 80040154
Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)).
" However when I use a 32-bit host message on the send port gets encrypted as I expect. Has anyone faced this issue before and found a solution? BTW I am using BTS 2010 on 64-bit machine

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa559177(BTS.10).aspx
This occurs because the MIME pipeline component is not supported in a 64-bit host instance. To resolve this, the host associated with the send and receive handler for the file adapter must be configured as a 32-bit only host. For more information on this
see How to Modify Host Properties. If you already have a 32-bit only host configured on the system and want to use it see Configuring the File Adapter for instructions on configuring the host(s) associated to the file adapter’s send and receive handler.
