Strange info in "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains"

For my Mac Mini my Network IP Address always has a self-assigned 169.254 number that I cannot change. Strangely, this same IP number is similar to info that is in the Proxies section (of Network Settings) under "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains".
No matter what I do, this info (*,local, 169.254/16) appears in my Network Settings in the Proxies section under "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains". (I tried removing the info and it would cause the "Configure Proxies" selection to default to "Always Use PAC File". Had to go back and retrash all the plist files to have Proxies go back to "Configure Proxies-Manually". Still, the info (*,local, 169.254/16) continues to appear in the "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains" section and my IP address is always a 169.254 number.)
Comcast cable modem via direct hardwired Ethernet works fine with my other computer, so not the modem. Also, other computer does not have any info in the "Bypass Proxy Settings for These Hosts and Domains" section.
Installed a fresh copy of OS X 11.5 on a new hard drive. Still the same problem.
I posted this issue before but only got one responder and the problem still exists. Any clues? Somebody must know about this stuff. Help please.
Thanks

When your Mac wakes up, it does not yet have an IP Addresss. It wants to send a request to a Router for an apprpriste IP address to use now. But it needs to have an IP address (like a return address) to receive any messages. So, ... wait for it,
... it (your Mac) makes one up. There are rules that ensure it is a random address, but they always start with 169.254. It is on the same subnet with any low-order 16 bits This is the "self-assigned" range of IP Addresses. This address is only good for talking on a local network segment, for things like asking for a valid IP Address from a DHCP-enabled Router.
In most cases, on most networks, the 169.254 self-assigned IP Address is replaced by a valid Local IP Address such as 192.168.xxx yyy or 10.0.xxx.yyy so quickly that you never even see the 169.254 Address.
If you do see the 169.254 Address, it can be read as "Nobody will talk to me" or "Nobody will give me an IP Address". When you have this IP Address for more than an instant, you should suspect bad cables for Ethernet connections, bad signal strength or interference for wireless, Router configuration problems, or Mac configuration problems.
Mac configuration problems are often solved by using the "Assist Me" button is System Preferences > Network and choosing to set up again.
Another diagnostic is to try using Network Utility and the Ping function, and Ping-ing the address of your Airport base Station, often 192.168.0.1 or 10.0.0.1 or similar. This will tell you if the Router is reachable, or there are cabling/wirelss signal problems.
In this case, proxies are not an issue, and are simply a distraction from the real problems.

Bypassing proxy settings for IPv6-adresses.

My MacBook is currently connected both via IPv4 and IPv6, and I prefer using a squid-proxy when surfing. Alas, my proxy only supports IPv4.
In network preferences I can type in hosts to bypass proxy settings for, but I'd like to do this for every single IPv6 host. Any solutions?
Martin

The format should be comma-delimited, like:
<pre class=command>localhost, *.domain1.com, www.domain2.com</pre>
However, IIRC, Network Preferences is pretty tolerant - it'll accept most forms of input and will reformat it into something that makes sense to it.

How do "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" and "Use system proxy settings" work behind the scenes?

How can I see what the proxy firefox actually uses when I check either of these two options?
Does it take it from Internet Explorer?
Are they stored somewhere in the registry?

Hi conectionist,
This is taken if there is a proxy set up in your network settings on your OS. If you would like to test there may be an add on:

Format for bypassing proxy settings

In Network Preferences, when you want to bypass proxy settings for certain domains, how do you separate the domains. are they comma separated?, or space separated?, or semi-colon separated?, one per line?.
TIA

The format should be comma-delimited, like:
<pre class=command>localhost, *.domain1.com, www.domain2.com</pre>

Where can I read the proxy settings Firefox chose, when configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network"?

I would like to set my system network proxy settings to those, Firefox chose. Firefox is configured to use "Auto-detect proxy settings for this network" and this works fine. How can I read out the settings Firefox chose, so I can adapt these system?

Hello Richard,
Download MozBackup and make a backup of your bookmarks and passwords. Uninstall firefox and remove ALL folders with the name "Firefox".
Install Firefox and restore your bookmarks and passwords. Now you should have a fresh install so you have to make all settings again.

Contribute 4 - no proxy settings for outgoing CPS authorization

Does CS4 have any access to proxy settings for publishing
server identification?
There are three outgoing requests in Contribute:
1) FTP or SFTP --> this has a proxy setting
2) contribute browser -> this uses proxy settings inside
of Start->Settings->Control panel -> Internet Options
3) HTTPS: validating CPS un/pw -> this has no proxy
setting that I can find.

Thank you for the quick reply! But the solution provided by you, it seems, has still not been able to address my issue. I ran the program at command prompt with your said parameters, but the download still gave an error in the App window.
Also, is there some way of defining these parameters in the source code? I am keen in using NetBeans to run the program.
Cheers!

I have lost the correct proxy settings for the ethernet connection using Safari. How do I get back to the original ethernet proxy settings?

I changed the ethernet proxy settings for Safari on my Mac Pro, when I was in a particular place that required extra security. Now I cannot get the ethernet connection to work when back home. The wireless connection works fine. What are the original ethernet proxy settings. How do I make the changes?
Thanks

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click Change Settings next to Proxies. Select Automatically from the Configure pop up menu.
You may also have to select the Proxies tab. If any of the boxes are selected, deselect then click OK.

Proxy settings for XML iview

We have been struggling to create an XML iview using the XML iview template since we installed EP 6.0 SP9. We tried to upgrade to SP13, SP14 but still did not work. Recently we upgraded to SP18 and today SP19, and we got a new error message "Runtime error in XML iView. Proxy settings on the server may not be configured".
We don't use any proxy servers in our network. I have also tried to configure the proxy settings in system configuration and restart the service but the error keeps unchanged.
We are almost desperated but without the XML iview Portal means nothing to us.

Thank you for replying, Prem.
We don't have to go though a proxy server to access the internet. And the XML source URL is from our internal server netword. So I believe that we don't need to configure the proxy setting in this case.
We have also tried to configure the proxy settings as instructed in many messages but it still doesn't work.
Is there anything else that we might be missing for creating an XML iview?

How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?

Hello,
I am using HttpURLConnection to establish a HTTP connection . The connection pass through a proxy, and it requires security.
I know that I can set the proxy settings in the system properties, and this works perfect.
But I don't want to set the proxy settings in the system properties, because this proxy settings will be for ALL the URLs, and I just want for a few URLs.
How could I set the proxy settings for just some URLs and not for all?
Thanks

Configure proxy settings for WebEngine

I had no luck in finding any docs about how to configure the proxy server for a WebView/WebEngine.
I assume the system properties "http.proxyHost" and "http.proxyPort" are used if they are set, is this correct?
Is there also a way to configure the proxy settings for each WebEngine instance?
Regards,
Heiko

I am also getting this "error". The printer (8500 A910) connected to the web well enough that it went out and supposedly downloaded a new update, but then it was supposed to print a page showing the email address, but did not.
So I go in and try to set up the eprint, and it tells me it cannot connect to the sever and I'll need to enter a proxy address and port number. But my ISP's cable modems do NOT have any static IP address nor do they provide any sort of proxy service. Everything works just fine with "automatic discovery" (DHCP) for every computer in the house. No problems there.
So, since that's the case, of course I cannot look up some proxy address and port number in my web browser because they're all set up for "automatically detect settings".
What's baffling is that the printer connected to something at HP to download the "update", and it went through a process that appeared to be what I'd expect it to do if it was updating its firmware. But it won't connect to whatever it's supposed to connect to to have an email address assigned.
Does HP supply a proxy server? If so, what's its IP address or URL, and what port should a person set the printer to try to use?
UPDATE:
It appears that the HP site must have just been "down" for about six or seven hours while I was trying to get the printer to connect because it now connected and I got an email address asigned without needing to have any "proxy" stuff set up at all. It's a shame that the printer does not simply report "HP Site down - try again later" instead of reporting that you need to use a proxy when that's impossible.
"Now, on to the next problem which is that my emails to the assigned address are all bouncing with a "550 5.7.1 Command rejected" error!

Settings for Item Proposal and Product Proposal

Hi Gurus,
How to do the configuration settings for Item Proposal and Product Proposal.
I also want to know what is the difference between Item Proposal and product Proposal.
Give me your Solution.

Item proposal is the list of regularly/frequently ordered items of a particular customer. this will be useful when u are entering the sales order. it will be used to speed up the order entry process.
For that Goto VA51, enter item proposal type as MS and sales area details.
enter the customer name and the list of products and save. Assign the item proposal No in the customer master sales area data, sales tab.
create the sales order and enter the customer no and press the propose items button in the sales order.
the system will propose one box and it will display all the materials. then u can continue further.
Product proposal:
To configure product proposal, Go to IMG,SD, Basic functions, Dynamic product proposal, Maintain all the settings
**A product proposal is a list of products for a specific customer that is automatically proposed during sales document processing. You can decide for yourself which materials should be displayed as product proposals in the sales document. You can also determine the sequence in which the materials appear in the product proposal.
During sales document processing, the system displays a product proposal in the item overview according to the customer and the business transaction. It displays the material number, material description, and historical order quantites in the sales unit last used. To use a material again, you just have to copy it. The system does not run the standard checks (pricing, availability, incompletion, material determination, free goods determination and so on) until you have entered the order quantities.
The product proposal is both an entry help and an aid to sales support and promotions. It is particularly useful in Telesales, where the employee automatically receives a display of all the materials that are of interest to a particular customer. This helps them to provide appropriate advice to the customer quickly and easily. The sales document history enables you to analyse the purchasing behaviour of a customer and recognize early on if it changes, for instance, when the customer suddenly stops ordering a product.
The product proposal differs to cross-selling in that it is dependent on the customer and sales area, and is displayed in the sales document as soon as you have entered a customer. Cross-selling, on the other hand, is triggered by a material. In other words, the system proposes cross-selling materials according to the material or a characteristic of the material you have entered.
You can determine the product proposal from different data sources:
Order history
Listed materials
Excluded materials
Item proposal
Customer-material info records
Customer-specific data sources
You can combine materials from these data sources to create a product proposal. The system then accesses the data sources either online or in the background.
To define a product proposal for sales document processing, you must carry out the following activities in Customizing:
Define customer procedure for product proposal
Define document procedure for product proposal
Assign document procedure for product proposal to order types
Maintain table of origin for product proposal
Define product proposal procedure and determine access sequences
Maintain procedure determination (in background) for product proposal
Maintain procedure determination (online) for product proposal
The product proposal procedure determines how the system displays the product proposal in the sales document. For instance, if the system has accessed the order history, it determines how many columns should be displayed in the sales document, in which period intervals thehistoric order quantities should be displayed (for instance, day, week, or month), and most importantly, the sequence in which the system should access the data sources (for example, order history, listing, exclusion).
The product proposal procedure depends on the:
Customer determination procedure
The customer procedure determines which product proposal procedure the system automatically uses when you create a sales document for a particular customer.
It is specified in the customer master record per sales area.
Document determination procedure
The document procedure determines which product proposal procedure the system automatically uses for a certain document type. The document procedure is stored as a key in the header for the sales document type.
If you use online processing, the product proposal procedure is determined according to the customer and document determination procedures.
If you use background processing, the product proposal procedure is determined according to the sales area in the customer master and the customer determination procedure. It does not use the document determination procedure because the document type is not recognized in background processing.
Difference:
Item proposal is the list of products the customer used to buy frequently.
Product proposal is also the list of products but it will explode in the sales order, once u enter the sold to party field. But this will be based on the following criterias.
Order history
Listed materials
Excluded materials
Item proposal
Customer-material info records
Customer-specific data sources
Hope this clarifies.

Hello All...
Back after a brief absence, things look a little bit different.
I'm trying to take a 16 minute mini dv video and compress it for use on the web. I'm interested in any suggestions you may have on settings for the video and audio tracks. I've tried using Sorenson 3 (15 frames, key frames set to automatic, 320 x 240) for video and IMA 4:1 (mono) for audio. The resulting video looked great but the file size came in at about 255 Mb.
Thanks!

Thank you for the replies. Everyone was correct about the jack, interface, and phasing problems. I have been unplugging my motu audio interface and then using headphones at work. I have not changed any detailed audio output settings in logic. When I read that the jack might be a problem I tried switching headphones. This actually helped. I am using dre-beats headphones and they seem to be having issues with the mac/jack-(the phasing/panning problems. I can use these headphones with other devices but not the mac. I have to use ipod ear buds and the phasing seems fixed. Hopefully this information is helpful to someone else.
If anyone knows how to correct this issue please let me know its difficult to know what my final mixes are going to sound like and I have had to keep bouncing everything into i-tunes- sync to ipod and then listen in my car radio.

"current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are invalid" message

I have some files I am working with. Details and what happened:
Had some music files where I was doing some trimming/splitting. Files worked fine in itunes.
Open the files in Quicktime Pro 7 to trim them. Exported to aif.
Opened the files with itunes. They open and play just fine.
In Itunes I click"create AAC version" to convert them.
I receive the message "An error occurred while trying to import the file. The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file."
I don't know what to do from here. Suggestions?
Thanks.

Make sure that the AIFFs that you export are set for 16 bit PCM.
Also, assuming that you are using 44.1 kHZ sampling in your AIFFs, make sure that you are not trying to use 48 kHz in the AAC.
