Static doesn't work, but Dynamic does for surfing the web

Because I wanted some static IP addresses on my network I set the IP Distribution Range on my Actiontec router to 192.168.1.42 – 192.168.1.254.  I then assigned static IP addresses to my network printers and 3 computers.  For a while everything worked as expected.  However, after making a few additional, unrelated changes (rename DNS server host names) two of the three computers were blocked from access to the Internet.  The computers appeared in the routers list of devices on the LAN and the computers had full access to other devices on the LAN, but could not get out to the web.  One of the computers is a laptop.  The wireless connection worked fine just the Ethernet connection would not work.  If I changed the setting on the computers to use DHCP the problem was resolved.  Any idea what is blocking the static IP addresses from working?
Solved!

Thank you.  Adding DNS server IP address solved the problem.  I had left the primary and secondary DNS addresses blank because Verizon tech support had told me, when I asked what DNS server Verizon favored,  that they used Dynamic DNS servers and had no specific address to offer.  
I noticed that the Actiontec has assigned to specific IP addresses ( 71.242.0.12 and 71.252.0.12).  I stuck those in the TCP/IP property page and all seems to be well.  Thanks again for your advise.

    i boght an iphone 4s and it gets hot easily, is it normal? does iphone 4s get hot just for surfing the web?

    It all depends on the reception. If you cell reception is bad, iPhone will try harder and it will get warmer and uses more battery.
    For your info, iPhone 4S is a dual core A5 chip.

  • Hello , I want to ask some question about ipads \  How powerful is the iPad?  How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web? Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?   please help me :(

    Hello ,
    I want to ask some question about ipads \
    How powerful is the iPad? 
    How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
    Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?  
    please help me

    it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
    It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
    You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
    I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
    By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.

  • Job doesn't work - but procedure does

    Hi all,
    I found some curious - for me.
    I added a job for a procedure. The procedure contains 3 execute immediate with create table statements. The tables will be created on the current database, where the procedure runs. But the third statement select the datas from my table from another database (normal: select * from mytable ; 3.: select * from mytable@SERVER3). The 2 servers have a connection.
    And now the curious:
    If I start then procedure everything runs without errors or warnings. All tables will be created.
    If I start the job manually (I use TOAD for Oracel: Execute this job immediately) it also runs fine.
    But if the job starts automatically, the two select runs normaly, but the third doesn't. It must be in connection with the other database. Until now no admin here could help me or could say me how to solve the problem.
    Now I hope that someone in these forum knows the problem and could help me.
    Regards
    Juergen

    Hi,
    I can't create a dblink - insufficient privileges. But our Admin created on. But it didn't worked. I mean, we had the same problems as before.
    But I have a problem with the scheduler - which should solve the problem also. The folowing doesn't work:
    declare
    begin
    dbms_scheduler.create_job (
    job_name => 'tj_new_job',
    job_type => 'PLSQL-BLOCK',
    job_action => 'name_of_procedure',
    start_date => sysdate,
    repeat_interval => 'freq=dailiy;byhour=4');
    end;
    The problem is, nothing will happen. Is there anybody who knows, what I did wrong?
    Thank you.

  • After upgrading to 10.2.2.12  on windows XP SP3 , itunes does not display any summary info or buttons/options. The buttons work but it does not display the text on the button or the options available.

    I recently upgraded the iTunes software to 10.2.2.12 on my Windows XP laptop. Since then, iTunes stopped displaying the Summary info
    , the text on the buttons, the various drop down options. The buttons seem to be working but I can't tell what that button is supposed to do
    or the option I am selecting. This is preventing me from syncing my photos to the laptop.
    this was not a problem with the previous version of iTunes.
    Actions taken :
    - I tried downloading iTunes again and repairing the install. That did not fix it.
    - Don't want to uninstall it as I am worried that I would lose all the songs and the purchases etc.
    1. Has anyone encountered this ?
    2. Is there a solution for this ?
    Many thanks in advance for your time and help

    Yeah it does, although the problem predates version 10.2.2.12. It's been around since earlier-on in the version 10s (at least).
    It's usually Segoe UI font trouble on the Windows 7 systems too. Unfortunately, the Vortical troubleshooting technique only works on XP and Vista systems, so dealing with the issue on a Windows 7 system is trickier. (There's a bunch of different possible issues relating to the fonts that could be in play, and so the treatment tends to depend on which issue in particular you've got with the Segoe_UI fonts.)

  • Get('XML') doesn't work, but get() does in javascript - CASCADING LOVs

    I'm trying to get cascading LOVs working in Apex 3.1.0 in Oracle 11g. When I call get.get('XML') it returns null in firefox and empty string in IE6. If I change it to call get.get() then it returns the XML as a string into Javascript.
    The Application process is getting called in both scenarios as i've put PL/SQL logging to disk in order to prove it. The XML being returned is very basic so i'm sure it's not a problem with formatting. I'm not getting any exceptions thrown in javascript either.
    Is it possible to use get.get() and then convert the text into an XML object which is returned as per get.get('XML') which at least will allow me to get something working ?

  • SFTP - CyberDuck doesn't work, but WinSCP does?

    I'm having issues connecting remotely to a server. Here are the details:
    I am running Mac OS X Server, 10.4.11. The G5 (the server in question) is located in the main building and we have a satellite office that connects to it via SFTP. We have both PCs and Macs. Macs would connect using Cyberduck, and PCs connect with WinSCP. After doing some updates yesterday (not 10.4.11, but stuff like Quicktime, iTunes, Java, maybe Security update but I don't remember, etc), Cyberduck cannot stay connected. WinSCP does not have a problem.
    Thinking that it may be a Cyberduck related issue, I tried other software like FireFTP (Firefox add-on), CuteFTP and sftp itself from the command line. I notice that it does successfully connect, but then terminates the connection.
    Something interesting to note: my admin user, which is the only "local account" does not have any problems. I can connect with all the above stated programs.
    Also, I can connect via ssh with any user as well via the command line.
    I ran sftp -v from the command line and noticed that I was in fact connecting to the server, then being disconnected. Here are some of the errors I receive:
    sftp -v [email protected]
    debug1: allot of stuff before this then the interesting part -
    debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive
    Password:

    debug1: Exit status -1
    Connection closed
    Also, I can't recreate the error I got at one point, but I also received an error stating:
    Server exited on signal "PIPE"
    Any ideas?

    This weekend I was able to fix the issue.
    I downloaded 10.4.11 Combo Updater and installed it. After a reboot, all was well. I believe that the previous updates I did had something to do with the issues.

  • HT1668 I cannot remove the draft write mail template from the mail application screen. Save draft works but cancel does not remove the draft template. I can send email using the template but it remains on screen preventing me from accessing any mail

    Still can't get rid of the template page

    I am not at all sure about what you are calling a draft email template. I have never seen one in the mail app and unless this is something that you created in Pages or some other word processing program I don't know what template you are describing.
    Anyway, this may work. Quit the mail app and them go back and see if the draft is still on the screen.
    Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Or try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons

  • HT4259 I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2.  But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work.  What does happen is my internet gets block somehow when the Express looks like it's set up and 'green' - no in

    I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2.  But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work.  What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good.  Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
    I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension.  Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express.  But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet.  Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
    If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it.  I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty.  I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

    I finally got it working.  I was trying to set it up ethernet.  My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode.  So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'.  Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it.  So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
    So here's the weird part.  When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options.  One would be 'ethernet' extended.  So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem.  This is when I got frustrated.  I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
    But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options.  One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was).  And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful.  I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from.  It will work if only 3 options come up.  And success if only verified by the big checkmark.  Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
    As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it.  Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with.  It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
    Thanks for the response.  I really do appreciate it.
    Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
    Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
    - configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
    Using Airport 5.6.1
    1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
    2) Following restart, Select Continue
    3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
      - if 4 options are present, may not work
    4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
    5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
    Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
    I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger.  The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
    Thanks again.

  • Apple TV (2nd and 3rd Generation) - Home Sharing Not Working but Airplay Does

    Hi everyone,
    This has been a bit of a ongoing problem, so I'll provide a bit of background.
    I am running a Mac Mini (Late 2012) Running Yosemite 10.10.1 as a media server running 10TB of Movies, TV Shows and Music off a NAS Drive. Running iTunes 12.0.1.26. Main hard drive is a 256GB SSD.
    I also have 5 Apple TV's in the house, 2 are 3rd Generation (running iOS 7.0.2), 3 are 2nd Generation (running iOS 6.2.1).
    The goal is to watch the TV Shows and Music through Home Sharing.
    Home sharing works perfectly through the 3rd Generation Apple TV's, as does Airplay. I never have a problem with these. Mac Mini (or any other device for that manner) has no issues accessing the NAS.
    The 2nd Generation Apple TV's are a continual source of frustration. They are connected to the network, can access the iTunes store, can accept Airplay signals from the Mac Mini, iPads, iPhones, etc. Can even detect the other (2nd and 3rd Gen Apple TV's). But frequently, when I try and connect to Home Sharing, I receive the error message "Cannot connect to Home Sharing", even though if I jump on the Mac Mini, I can airplay the content to that Apple TV just fine.
    Is this just a 2nd Generation Apple TV Issue (to make us go an upgrade all our Apple TV's to 3rd Generation)?
    I have completed the following troubleshooting steps, to no success.
    1) Reset the Apple TV's (Multiple Times)
    2) Sign out of Home Sharing\iCloud\iTunes Account, reset, and sign back in.
    3) Restore the Apple TV to the latest firmware and set up again.
    4) Test the device on Wireless and Wired Network.
    5) Reset all network infrastructure.
    6) Power Cycle the Apple TV's for 15 minutes.
    7) Reset iTunes.
    8) Sign out of Home Sharing\iCloud\iTunes Account in iTunes, Reset the Mac Mini, and Sign back in.
    9) Reinstall iTunes.
    10) Reset the Mac Mini and NAS.
    11) Reformat the Mac Mini and update to latest operating system (Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1).
    12) Try home sharing from a Windows PC (Windows 8.1, x64).
    Literally out of ideas. Am I chasing a Unicorn on this one? Would love some help.
    Thanks!

    Good to know your Apple IDs are fine.
    So I've been experimenting with de-authorizing and re-authorizing computers and devices and the symptoms you are experiencing are reminiscent of devices and computers unable to authenticate with Apple's servers.
    What I would do is try de-authorizing and re-authorizing computers and devices to see if things return to normal. Start with the computers first. You can quickly de-authorize the computers by logging in to your iTunes Store account and using the 'Deauthorize All' button. After clicking the button wait a few minutes for it to propagate. You will know that the computers have been de-authorize when the Account Information page says "0 computers are authorized to play content purchased with this Apple ID." Other devices like Apple TV and iPads and such do not count on that list.
    Once de-authorized, re-authorize them from the 'Store' menu in the iTunes app. You will know all three computers have been re-authorized when the Account Information page says "3 computers are authorized to play content purchased with this Apple ID." Now try and play your content with Apple TV. If it still doesn't work turn Home Sharing off on the Apple TV and then re-enable it using your Apple ID.
    Hopefully this brings back your Home Sharing functionality.

    I have a MacBook Pro bought in dec 2009. Currently has mountain lion osx installed. Worked like a dream until today. Randomly froze, so I restarted it. To find I got a grey screen. It wouldn't start. Also note my DVD drive doesn't work, but mountain lion was installed via App Store anyway.
    So here's what I done so far:
    tried resetting PRAM - No success
    Done disk utility. Disk verified with no errors. I even re formatted disk. - no success starting.
    Tried re installing mountain lion via download . It froze halfway installing -no success.
    Tried backing up a time machine backup from my USB hard drive. It froze at 1% - no success
    Tried booting from safe mode - no success
    Tried the command line boot - no success.
    Please someone help!

    Sounds like the hard dre has left the building, Died, in the Sh*tter, Gone to the hard drive resting place in the sky.
    Buy a new drive connect it to the system with a SATA to USB adapter and see if you can install Mt Lion on that drive connected externally. If you can then the drive inside your system has failed.
    Oh Wait!!!! You have the 2009 model. They are known for bad drive to logic board cables. So it may not be the drive itself but the cable going from the drive to the logic board. Do the same as above then if the system runs OK with the new drive connected externally install it in the system and see if it boots. If it does you are good to go. If it doesn't then it is more then likely the cable that hs failed.
    I would suggest you also SAVE a copy of that download of Mt Lion and create a USB install drive from it using Lion Disk Maker, once you get your system up and running.

  • X-Fi Platinum (optical) PCM works but Dolby does

    Hi!
    My problem: I've got a Sony reciever (with Dolby and DTS decoding support) with some optical inputs. DVD player and Cable Reciever work very well (with AC-3 5. and PCM) on all inputs so it's not at reciever problem.
    But if I attach my computer and play some AC3 aka DD it won't (nearly) work (but PCM does work perfect). I tried 48kHz and 96kHz and I of course deavticaed the built-in decoders.
    Here's what's happening if try to play some DVD with DD with WinDVD8:
    I try all different checkbox combinations (although I know that SPDIF & 6 Channel would be the right thing) and from time to time (randomly) DD/Bistream Out appears in the lower right corner of the monitor - but the reciever doesn't get any.
    And if I decide to use VLC with SPDIF-out I even get a crazier problem - I get some sound but:
    The software plays about a half second of the matching video - repeats it then times - and plays some next 0.5 seconds.
    Oh yeah - first I used the drivers from the CD and now I use the latest drivers...
    I'm getting crazy and I'm looking forward for your hints!
    Thank you CHfish

    First thank you for your hint - Win32 waveOut extension output is the one and only output mode making some hearable sound - but it's PCM 48kHz (stereo) again - I get the exactly same sound when I choose "analog" stereo output in VLC...
    And as I told I've got similiar problems with other applications...
