Specific Questions Multiple Routers HELP

I have a few specific questions regarding multiple routers in one home.
1. Would it be possible to have (2) verizon supplied routers such as Actiontecs working in one home over Coax? to be more specific i would like one router in one room of the house connected to coax and providing hardwired/wireless. and another of the same type in a different room doing the same.
an installer told me something to the effect that there would be wireless interference between the two. my next question is if I am able to have two routers connected over coax. could I log in to one and Set Wireless to OFF? thus eliminating wireless interference? if not what would be the issue? could i use a non-verizon supplied router (which i understand there is no support for) ? could i use a Wired router?
there is no wireless coverage issue here. simply personal preference. i need the ability to hardwire systems without running cable around the house ie:cat5 from router to another room.no wireless bridges or other configurations.
these routers are excellent in features and performance and having a second would be nice.
my last resort option would be to connect the router to my GE smartconnection center that i have in my home. coax to router router to cat5e thus braodcast throughout the house depending where i choose. this is my last resort since it is a steel enclosure and would hinder wireless performance.

Check out this website. It has all the different network configurations, along with the pro's and con's of each set up.
http://www.dslreports.com/faq/verizonfios/3.0_Networking
You can also set up the wireless to adhoc mode, which will allow you to connect the second router to the first wirelessly and extend your network without running cable to the other end of the house.

Broadcasts between multiple routers using IP HELPER

Hello everyone,
I newly CCNA qualified and i need some help-clarification regarding ip helper command.
A few words about the setup of the network:
The place were i work has multiple routers connected to a central router. For example I have router A and Router B. I need a PCs on the LAN segment of router A to be able to broadcast packets to a server (Domain Controller) located on the LAN of router B. I also want broadcasts from the server to travel freely to the LAN of the PC on router A. These two routers are connected with 2Mbps FR.
My configurations work, but i am not sure if i configured unnecessary commands. Can you please give me a sample configuration stating the interfaces were i need to configure IP HELPER-ADDRESS , and if i need the IP DIRECTED-BROADCAST command at all.
Also i have used IP FORWARD-PROTOCOL UDP command.
Thank you very much,
George

George,
OK. You want broadcasts from PCs on LAN A to go to the servers on LAN B. I shall presume that you do not know how many PCs are on LAN B; you just want the broadcast to be seen by all of them. So, suppose the address of LAN B is 192.168.30.0/24, you should go to the interface of LAN A, and configure ip helper-address 192.168.30.255. This will forward brodcasts from LAN A to LAN B. By default, when they arrive at LAN B, the router there would try and send them to a host 192.168.30.255 - but this is not what we want. So on LAN B, you will need the command ip directed-broadcast. This will recognise the packet 192.168.30.255 as a directed broadcast, and it will make sure it gets sent as a MAC broadcast, rather than a host unicast.
In the other direction, just for illustration, I shall assume that you are only interested in passing the PC broadcasts to the specific server in LAN A, let us say 192.168.20.45. In this case, go to the interface of LAN B, and configure ip helper-address 192.168.20.45. This will see the PC broadcasts, and send them to the server on LAN A. In this case, it is not necessary to configure ip directed-broadcast on LAN A, because, it is enough to send the packets to just that server.
Of course, if you want the PC broadcasts to go to all servers in LAN A, you have two options: either you send them to 192.168.20.255 and enable directed broadcasts on LAN A, or you make a list of servers, and have an ip helper-address on LAN B for each one.
As for ip forward-protocol, it may not be necessary. There is a list of protocols that the ip helper-address command forwards by default. You only need the ip forward-protocol command if you want to deviate from the list. See doc for details:

I hope this clarifies things for you.

Another port question - multiple Macs behind the same firewall

I've searched for this issue, but I can't seem to find a topic directly on point. I know how to forward the right points for this to work, but...
I'm coming from outside the network, and I need to control multiple machines that are behind the same firewall. I can't forward a port to more than one machine. How do I control all these machines?

To be able to connect to a workstation from outside it's network, the ports that ARD uses must be open on both ends of the connection. ARD uses ports 3293 and 5900 so those must be open.
If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", as seems to be the case from your description, the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
to connect.
Hope this helps.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic before you post a question.

Multiple routers and subnets - can't access across subnets

Hey all, I'm having an issue with multiple routers and subnets on my FIOS connection. Here's how everything is setup:
Primary router:
ActionTec MI424WR Rev D (from Verizon)
WAN IP: From ISP
WAN NETMASK: From ISP
LAN IP: 192.168.1.1LAN NETMASK: 255.255.255.0
Secondary router (WAN connected to ActionTec LAN):
Belkin N750 gigabit w/ 802.11n
WAN IP: 192.168.1.2
WAN NETMASK: 255.255.255.0
LAN IP: 192.168.2.1
LAN NETMASK: 255.255.255.0
With this setup, I have the secondary router's WAN port connected to a LAN port on the primary router. Each are broadcasting an SSID and each are running DHCP to assign address to their respective subnets. Everything was well and good, except that I could reach 192.168.1.* systems from 192.168.2.*, but not vice versa -- anything connected to the Primary router was blind to systems connected to Secondary. Also, I could not ping anything on .2 from .1.
So, I added the following static route to the primary router:
DESTINATION: 192.168.2.0
NETMASK: 255.255.255.0
GATEWAY: 192.168.1.2
Once this was added to the router, I could ping everything, so that was good. However, even though .1 can now ping .2, I can't access certain things such as the web interface of my NAS (192.168.2.2). I can ping it, but accessing it in the browser from .1 doesn't work; however, accessing from .2 does work.
I think the ActionTec router might be blocking it, but that's just a guess. The firewall on this thing has me thoroughly confused. Currently, I have 192.168.1.2 in the DMZ on the ActionTec, but that didn't make a difference. I've also completely disabled the firewall on the secondary Belkin router, but still nothing.
Any help from the pros here? Much appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, I figured it out and everything is now working. The issue appears to be that the ActionTec router doesn't recognize traffic from Subnet 1 to Subnet 2 as internal traffic -- it treats it as external traffic and closes it off. To fix this, it required some Advanced Firewall Filters that were far from unituitive and took a lot of testing to get it just right. If anyone runs into a similar situation in the future, here's a rundown of what I did to make it all work:
Primary Router:
ActionTec, MI424WR Rev D
WAN IP/NETMASK:Assigned by ISP
LAN IP/NETMASK:192.168.1.1 / 255.255.255.0
Secondary Router:
Belkin N750 Gigabit w/ 802.11n
WAN IP/NETMASK:192.168.1.2 / 255.255.255.0
LAN IP/NETMASK:192.168.2.1 / 255.255.255.0
Plug Secondary router's WAN port into a LAN port on the Primary router.
Setup Secondary router to have static LAN address (192.168.1.2)
At this point, you should have 2 separate subnets: Subnet 1 (192.168.1.*) and Subnet 2 (192.168.2.*).
Systems on both subnets should be able to reach the internet. Also, Subnet 2 should be able to ping and reach systems on Subnet 1; however, systems on Subnet 1 should not be able to ping or reach systems on Subnet 2. For this, we need to create a static route so Subnet 1 can reach Subnet 2.
Create and apply the following static route in the Primary router: (Advanced > Routing)
RULE NAME:Network (Home/Office)
DESTINATION:192.168.2.0(your secondary subnet)
GATEWAY:192.168.1.2(secondary router's WAN IP)
NETMASK:255.255.255.0
METRIC:1
The router now has a route between Subnet 1 (192.168.1.*) and Subnet 2 (192.168.2.*). You should be able to ping systems on Subnet 1 from 2, and ping systems on Subnet 2 from 1. You should not be able to access any systems, though -- the firewall is still blocking all but ping traffic from Subnet 1 to Subnet 2. We need to create some firewall rules to allow this communication.
Make sure Primary firewall is set to at least typical/medium (Firewall Settings > General).
We need to create some network objects to make it easier to manage the rules we'll create. Go to Advanced > Network Objects and do the following:
1.Click Add. You are now on Edit Network Object screen.
2.Set Description to 'Subnet 1'.
3.In Items section below, click Add.
4.Set Network Object Type to 'IP Subnet'.
5.Set Subnet IP Address to 192.168.1.0.
6.Set Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0.
7.Click Apply. You are now back on Edit Network Object screen.
8.Click Apply. You are now back on Network Objects Screen.
9.Repeat the above steps again, but this time creating a second network object called 'Subnet 2':
Nameubnet 2
IP Subnet:192.168.2.0
Subnet Mask:255.255.255.0
Now we create the firewall rules. Go to Firewall Settings > Advanced Filtering.
In the Inbound/Input rules section, click the Add link next to Network (Home/Office) Rules.
Create the following Advanced Filter:
SOURCE ADDRESSelect 'Subnet 1'
DEST. ADDRESSelect 'Subnet 2'
PROTOCOL:'Any'
OPERATION:'Accept Packet'
OCCUR:'Always'
Click Apply. You will now be back on the Advanced Filtering page.
In the Outbound rules section, click the Add link next to Network (Home/Office) Rules.
Create the following Advanced Filter:
SOURCE ADDRESSelect 'Subnet 1'
DEST. ADDRESSelect 'Subnet 2'
PROTOCOL:'Any'
OPERATION:'Accept Packet'
OCCUR:'Always'
Click Apply. You will now be back on the Advanced Filtering page.
Click Apply.
You're all done. You should now have internet access on both subnets, be able to ping across subnets and also be able to access services across subnets (local webservers, SSH, telnet, mail, etc). You will not be able to see network file shares across subnets in Windows, however, as this requires a WINS server (which is well outside the scope of this post). For instance, I have a Western Digital NAS on the 192.168.2.0 subnet that I can access as \\Mybooklive\ from within Subnet 2; on Subnet 1, however, I have to access it by its IP \\192.168.2.10\.

Specific question on seek

Ok here is a specific question unlike my previous one.
If i store records with a fixed record length something like :
RandomAccessFile file = new RandomAccessFile("example.txt","rw");
long pos = inputLong("Type the record number for saving the data:");I am using the "pos" to give my record a location. Thus searching for a record i would use something like
file.seek(50*pos);My question is, here to locate a record i must know its pos number before hand, is it possible to locate a record with letters instead of a number?

I believe by pos he means "index" or "recordnumber" (i.e. each "record" is 50 bytes long, fixed-width and pos is really which of these records/items he wishes to retrieve).
As far as locating them with letters, that depends. If you simply wish to find a record that contains specific letters, then you will have to read each record and then check if it contains those letters. If, on the other hand, each record has a "key" (i.e. the first two letters of each record must be unique) then you can read through the entire file when you initially access it and create a hashmap containing these keys and there "position" or "index". Then, when the user says give me AZ, you simply retrieve the "index" from the hashmap and read the corresponding record.
Edit: That example I gave you in your ":( Help" thread does exactly this second option.

Very specific question about iOS 7 and podcasts

I have a very specific question regarding the playback of podasts under iOS 7.
Right now, I've still got iOS 5.1.1 (iPhone 4S).
What I would like to have is a way to play an episode from a podcast that I have not yet finished, and when I double-click the ear-bud's middle button, then I would like to jump (skip) to the episode in the list, even if that episode is from a different podcast.
Right now, under iOS 5.1.1, I achieved that by creating a smart playlist in iTunes that collects all the episodes from all podcasts with a play count == 0.
This smart playlist is mirrored to the iPhone.
It works very well.
It seems to me that something like that is not possible under iOS 6, so I skipped that.
My question now is whether I can acheive this under iOS 7.
I would be most grateful if some kind soul could shed some light on that for me.
Best,
Gabriel.

Hi Larry,
Thanks very much for posting a reply.
I do absolutely intend to print a test copy first - but thanks to your advice at least know the spine is going to be ok!
I didn't realize that method would give me a nice landscape image of the unbound cover - I'd mistakenly remembered that it gave only one page at a time for front and back.
Thanks for helping out.
Best,

Can I connect HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3545 to multiple routers

Hi
I recently purchased HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3545 and have connected it to one wireless router. I have 3 routers at home to cover a large area. How can I connect HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 3545 to multiple routers?
Is giving a static IP address an only option? What are the drawbacks of using a static address, if any?

Hello purohito,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
HP printers, in your case the Deskjet Ink Advantage 3545, can only connect to one router. If you have three routers setup in your home, to print you will need to be on the network the printer is connected with.
If these routers are setup like repeaters, then it is possible for this to work, but not supported by printer support. If you are not sure if your setup is consisting of two routers being repeaters, watch this HP video to learn more.

PSC 500 won't print yellow (a few specific questions)

I have tried installing a brand new cartridge, cleaning the connections, etc. The most common suggestion I've found is that I have two bad or "old" cartridges (manufactured in Puerto Rico, April 2007). Before I go buy another costly cartridge, I have a few questions:
1) I colored an entire sheet of paper yellow in Word, then printed it. The printer just spat it out without even pretending to print anything on it. Does this in itself suggest either a printer or cartridge problem?
2) I recently installed a new black cartridge (a remanufactured or refilled one from simplyink.com--yes, I know that's not recommended), and I'm sure I haven't tried to print anything in color since then (until today). Could an issue with the black cartridge possibly affect the color cartridge?
3) Regrettably, I can't say for CERTAIN that I've printed in color with the current cartridge; I can't remember when I installed it, but I'm ALMOST sure that I have. This is another reason that I suspect something internal happened and it's not just the cartridge. I hope I'm wrong, or that there's a fix that doesn't involve taking the old beast into a repair shop.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Okay, trying to figure out why no one will even look at this...I read the first sticky, so in case this helps in the etiquette department: I have searched, and haven't found answers to these specific questions. My operating system is Vista, and my printer is connected via serial port. I think I have done everything that's suggested. Please, can anyone give me a hand here?

Can you link specific questions to list variables where it pops up choices depending on the question?

If i am asking a specific question for example:
Alpha Sector, then if Alpha Sector was selected then you must list what POSITION on ALPHA work is being performed.
Alpha = Alpha Position 1
            Alpha Position 2
            Alpha Position 3
            Alpha Position 4
            Alpha Position 5 , then depending on which of these are selected, it also has another question as well. What will be the FREQUENCY on that SPECIFIC POSITION.
Say that Alpha was SELECTED, then work is being performed on ALPHA Position 1, then another popup here should allow another question to be answered: What is the FREQUENCY for ALPHA Position 1 ? then once this was asked if Alpha Position 2 was also SELECTED, then go through the same above ROUTINE.
Alpha = Alpha Position 2 was also selected, then another popup here should allow another question to be answered: What is the FREQUENCY for ALPHA Position 2 ? and SO ON.
How is this accomplished? Would i have to create new pages then link to them or what?
Please help, feel free to call or email me direct.
Thank you,

Thanks for your suggestions, Magnus, you really have had a good think for me - I appreciate that!
What I am doing is report writing in which 90% of the report is the same for everyone. Except the cover page with Name and Address details, and Report title; the initial section which is the same for everyone except for specifics such as amount to invest, reason for investment, term to invest over, things like that.
The end of the report is the recommendations section which is where I use freetext to create a bespoke solution - this cannot be automated.
Just automating the cover page and the intro section save me huge amounts of time which I can then use on research and fund analysis, leaving the principles of investment section pretty much the same for everyone, as here I'm describing the principle and theory.
After I created this Report Template my average report creation time went down from about 3 to 4 hours, to about 45 minutes. I guess the automation itself doesn't save as much time as the templating does, but it allows me to concentrate on the important bit and not worry if I have left something out - or in - that changes the overall thrust of the report.
I cannot load Lotus WorpPro on Parallels, nor on Virtual PC, so the lack of automation really is a pain here. I see it as a weakness of Apple products for business, as I am sure Microsoft do which is why they have dropped VBA support for Office 2008.
I have got NeoOffice as well as OpenOffice for Mac on my system, but really they aren't atable enough to use, and the formatting is pretty flaky. It certainly isn't completely consistent with Office itself.
So, I am left with the conclusion that progress only means a reduction in features!
But maybe I'm missing something?

If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

How to implement multiple Value Helps within the same Application ??

Dear Experts,
I want to implement multiple value helps in the same view.For that I have declared exporting parameters of type 'wdy_key_value_table.' within the component controller for each of the value helps.While I do activate and test the application I get the following error :
The following error text was processed in the system HE6 : A row with the same key already exists.
The error occurred on the application server hsdnt24s11_HE6_00 and in the work process 4 .

Hi
Hint is : A row with the same key already exists it means , It is assigning the same value/Key to row and you are calling it at WDDOINIT so it giving error at the time of initialization .
Better way to do the coding at some event in view OR if not possible than just execute the first value help in wddoinit later clear all the value before gettig the other Value help. Code it at WdDoModify View to get its run time behaviour.
