Solaris 10 issue with the DNS when connected via DHCP

driver alias for Realtek RTL 8029 AS - ni0, driver is installed from http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/. IP, shown on ADSL modem TP-Link ADSL2+ Router TD-8810 - 192.168.1.1 .
To connect to the Internet in the terminal I enter:
ifconfig -a
ifconfig ni0 unplumb
ifconfig ni0 plumb
ifconfig ni0 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add default 192.168.1.1
After that, I can turn on ADSL modem or the computer hangs)
Now in the terminal I enter:
ifconfig ni0 dhcp
The computer connects to the Internet.
Problem: does not work DNS, visible are only addresses without a domain name (eg http://86.106.213.1:8080/).
ping 89.33.1.18 - is alive, ping boom.md - the domain for 89.33.1.18 - host unknown.
I tried to:
cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf
and
write DNS-server in /etc/resolv.conf in format:
nameserver <IP-address>
After running DHCP nsswitch.conf file is back to default, not using DNS, a resolv.conf file after a reboot does not exist. Domain names are still unknown.

I'm using exact scan already and have switchresx.
I've actually solved the problem, don't ask me how.
I connected it up via the VGA interface to see whether that would make a difference, the picture was centralised but the resolution was not great.
So I swapped it back to the HDMI interface, rebooted the Mac and when it came back up the HDMI 1920x1080 desktop was perfectly aligned.
So have no idea why but it is now working.

  • Problem with AppleWorks documents when connecting via ftp to my server

    When I connect over the internet using ftp to my mac mini server (using OS X server 10.4.10) from my iMac G4 (using 10.4.10) all my AppleWork docs will only appear as .bin instead of .cwk.
    If I download one to my G4, it will try to open using stuffit expander but cannot be opened. It comes up with “An error ocurred attempting to expand name.bin unspecified Stuffit Engine internal error” Error #17999
    However Microsoft Word docs show correctly and can be downloaded and opened without problem.
    When I try directly on the server or try from any computer on the local network conected to the server, everthing views correctly and can be opened.
    Could it be to do with any settings on the server when connecting by ftp.
    Thanks for the help.

    One problem still remains that when I download minicad files (which uses OS 9) they show up as .exe and will not open or recognisable by the programme
    I imagine the file is transferring without a suffix and your computer is trying to guess what it is; hence the .exe. Delete this and append the suffix for the correct program and it should open (or use File>Open within the program).

  • Does anyone else (or has anyone else) had an issue with their wireless keyboard connecting via the Bluetooth?

    The first day I got it, it was fine. Then when I woke up the next day which was less than 12 hours after hooking it up, it wouldn't connect..it let me type a couple of characters to my password, but then literally stopped. My trackpad has yet to have any issues whatsoever. Even during the keyboard malfunctioning it's been fine. In order to get the keyboard to work, I have to log into the guest account, let it be discovered, then pair it. It as now happened on 4 different days, more times than that, though. I've only had it for just over a week. I don't think there's a problem with the computer just because the trackpad is fine. The keyboard blinks that little green light when it's having this issue, too. As you know, it's normally off. Today I tried to log in for the first time and it did the same thing as the first day. It let me type a few characters, then stopped and wouldn't connect. This time, though, when I went into the guest account to let it be discovered it wouldn't let me type the numeric code to pair it. I had to hold down my power button to restart it because I was logged in on another user and it wouldn't let me restart it the normal way without typing the admin username/password...which I obviously couldn't do seeing as how I didn't have a keyboard. Does anyone else think this is a faulty keyboard I need to return? Or is this unfortunately how it works...or what? Help please...
    I was at the Apple Store that week 5 times for a messed up phone that they replaced with a total of 4 replacement phones because of different issues the ones they gave me had and driving there that much almost made me say screw it to the iPhone...now I buy this very expensive iMac spending 2 grand and this happens....I'm so mad I am thinking of just returning it and giving up on Apple altogether which Idon't WANT to do...but with all I've dealt with in a 2 week period with the iPhone and now this...oh and I bought a $100 cell phone case I had to replace because it wasn't working correctly. So you see, I am beyond frustartee over Apple.....if anyone could help I'd greatly appreciate it. With all of my problems I've had, you'd think they want to do more than apologize for my inconvenience. Even the techs that helped me said it was ridiculous I've had so many issues and now I'm just adding to the list..

    Try this:
    Go to System Preferences - Bluetooth. Delete the keyboard from the list of devices by pressing the "-" button. Take the batteries out of the keyboard and reinsert them. In Bluetooth Preferences press the '+" button to add the new device. If the keyboard begins to pair, click the word "pair" and type in the passcode. Press return. The keyboard is now paired.
    If the mouse is not pairing, try this: shut down the computer completely, unplug any USB mice, then turn off the power to the bluetooth mouse.  ONce the computer starts up again, wait for the pop-up looking for a mouse.  Turn on the power to the bluetooth mouse.  It should work normally now.

  • Wallpaper with the cursor when connected to external display

    Hi guys. I recently bought a MacBook 13" unibody polycarbonate white and I had bad luck and cracked the screen and I don't have the money to get it repaired so I decided to buy a mini display to VGA and hook it up to my old dell monitor.
    I turned off the computer and plugged the port in and it connects to the monitor but I only see the wallpaper with the cursor and no login screen or anything. I was reading around and found out that I might have to play with the resolution to make the monitor work. Now my delimma is that my LCD screen is cracked so how can I make the monitor work without looking ?

    Can you see anything on your MacBook screen? If you can access System Preferences you can drag the window over to the other screen. You have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. In System Preferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.

  • WRT54G v2 with Strict NAT when connected via ethernet to Xbox 360

    Hello, I apologize if this is in the wrong board as the router, although it is a wireless model, is connected to the Xbox 360 via ethernet cable, so I was a bit torn on where to place it. Router Model, Firmware version: WRT54G v2, v4.21.1 The problem and details are as follows: The Xbox 360 is running on the default settings. Literally, I plugged it into the router via ethernet and it automatically grabbed an IP (192.168.1.101) and the right information to connect to Xbox Live. The router is still running the default range of 50 IPs, so 100 to 149; the 360 was just the second thing to connect. Another computer is connected to the router via ethernet and a laptop is connected wirelessly, if this might affect the case at all. When using the Network Test feature of the Xbox 360, everything is operating perfectly except the NAT is giving me a Strict reading. Some of my games require an Open NAT for me to be able to access some features such as hosting a co-op match. Simply put, what do I need to do inside the router's settings that would give me an Open NAT on the Xbox 360?

    well try reducing the MTU values to 1365 on the router, also try triggering 88, 3074 ports on the router...

  • An issue with the duplicates when it comes to making photobooks

    Okay... so I've complained on the duplicate issue.
    But, some ramifications:
    These are my steps
    1. I attempted to edit in external editor, but didn't change/edit it.
    2. Now I have two copies in my photos library
    3. I adjusted the original copy with vignettes, sepia, etc.
    4. the copy looks like the original
    5. I pulled both into my photobook library.
    6. Only one of the two can be pulled into my photobook (not sure which one, because both look like an original in the right panel-no adjustments seen like I did in #3) It is the first/top one that is allowed to be pulled into the photobook.
    7. I had previously in photobook made it(the one that could be pulled into the photobook) black and white. But, after removing the photo from the photobook, and then putting it back in again, it switched to black and white again even though the photo on the right still remains color like in the original.
    My biggest thing is why does it even show both in the photo pool if you can't use both? And, I would think, if anything, it should be the second copy that would be able to be pulled into the photobook. Why can't I get the sepia vignetted into my photobook???

    I'm not sure but I think there is a bug is the way Editing is handled in External Editors. I don't think we should see a second copy, I don't think the second copy should mean a duplicate at HD level and so on.
    I would report what you're seeing as a bug:
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

  • T420 - external 24" monitor DVI- Displayport : not detected when connected via KVM switch

    Hi,
    I've been using a 2port USB KVM Switch from InLine for a long time connecting a mac mini and a macbook pro
    to a 24" LCD. Recently I had to replace the MacBookPro with a T420. Unfortunately the T420 does not detect the
    monitor, when connected via the KVM switch.
    I tried:
    A) T420 -> Lenovo Displayport to DVI-Adapter -> KVM-Switch -> 24" monitor: NO SUCCESS
    B) T420 -> Thinkpad miniDock Series 3 DVI Port-> KVM Seitch -> 24" monitor : NO SUCCESS
    C) T420 ->Thinkpad miniDock Series 3 DVI Port-> 24" monitor - > SUCCESS
    D) T420 ->Thinkpad miniDock Series 3 VGA Port -> 24" monitor - > SUCCESS
    So I have a workaround, but leaving out the KVM switch is not a long term option.
    This is all on Win 7 professional / 64bit
    Using config (A) I then installed the Intel HD Graphics Driver version 8.15.10.2342 16 May 2011
    SURPRISE: during driver install, the monitor WAS detected!!!
    SECOND SURPRISE: after reboot I was back in the old situation where the monitor was NOT DETECTED
    CONCLUSION:
    Seems like a software issue with the Intel HD Graphice driver.
    ANY HINT/COMMENT/HELP highly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Michael

    hey mgold,
    as the T420 works correctly with the external monitor and with the miniDock ; it is sad to say the the KVM switch is non-compatible.
    I would recommend that you get in contact with the manufacturer of the KVM. At the same time, try uninstalling the current video drivers of your T420 and see if it makes any difference with the KVM if the T420 is running on a generic driver

  • TS1317 Internet Connectivity Issue - specifically with the DNS settings

    Hi there,
    I'm wondering if someone can help me resolve an internet connectivity issue on my MacBook Pro.
    It appears to be a problem specifically with the DNS settings. I am connected to the internet but can only reach a website by typing in the IP address, not the domain name. The error messahe says: "Unable to resolve server's DNS address."
    Regardless of whether I use Wifi, 3G modem or cable, i get the same error.
    Operating System is Mac OSX Version 10.6.7
    Please help!
    Thanks

    It sounds like your MacBook Pro has either incorrect or missing DNS IP address information in it network profile. Let's start with your wireless connection. You would find these in System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > DNS tab
    If your main Internet router is performing as the DHCP server, it would provide the DNS IP addresses (typically from your ISP) on this tab. You may have two or more addresses listed. If they are grayed, that means that the addresses are coming from the DHCP server.
    In the following example screen shot, I am using DNS servers provided by OpenDNS. Notice that they are grayed as they are being provided by my main Internet router. Again, these should be either ones provided by your ISP or ones you purposely set up, like my OpenDNS ones.

  • My new computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone when connected via USB.

    My new Dell Computer with Windows 8.1 does not recognize my iPhone 5 when connected via USB.  I have reinstalled iTunes to no avail.

    Hey, I may have to if I can't get this one to work!!
    I have tried a different USB to no avail.  Both cables work on my old Dell so I don't believe they are the issue. 
    I uninstalled iTunes as directed by Apple Support and reinstalled.  Apparently, Apple Mobile Device Support is not loading with it because it does not show up in programs. 

  • The iTune Remote App has stopped finding my iTunes library when connected to wifi from my main router, but works fine when connected via second wifi router on the same network (different SSID)

    I'm running iTunes Remote App from a couple of iPhone 5's and a first generation iPod Touch. iTunes is running on a PC - Windows 7. My home network runs two Wifi Routers, each with a different SSID. I've had no problems with the Remote app running this set up for the last 8 months but recently the App can only find my iTunes library when the iPhone/iPod is connected via one specific router, when connected to the network via the other router, no iTunes library is found. I'm also running an Apple TV and it's the same as the iTunes Library, only visible via the one SSID.
    Everything else seems to work fine when connected via either router, eg Internet on the iPhones (definitely via wifi)
    I've tried renewing the lease on the iPhone wifi connection, restarting everything.....several times.....
    It used to work fine, this only seems to have been a problem in recent weeks
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated
    Thanks
    Ian

    It turned out to be the firewall settings on our router. Her machine was sending traffic that our router interpreted as a DoS attack and blacklisted her Airport's MAC address. That's why it would work fine if she switched to Ethernet.

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

    Hi Bander Bunny!
    I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes first. This has to be done in a specific manner, and this article can help you do that:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    Another option is that you may want to try syncing your iPod nano manually. Here's is an article that pertains to manually managing the content of your iPod nano:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    It's also possible that this issue resides with your iPod nano. Here is a website that will help you troubleshoot the iPod nano:

  • Does anyone get the mouse lag with an external display connected via the display port?

    does anyone get the mouse lag with an external display connected via the display port?

    You don't describe the problem in great detail.  Is this the issue you are describing?
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4398076?start=0&tstart=0
    If so, then, "Yes."  I have the same problem.  Note that this isn't a tracking speed problem for me, it's a lag between my hand moving and the pointer moving on the external display.
