TL-WR1043ND Possible firewall issue

Hiya there
I'm using the TP-LINk TL-WR1043ND router instead of a home hub on BT Infinityv2
The router seems to be working great, but i did call at www.grc.com today to check if the routers firewall seemed to be working, it seemed to have stealthed all the ports fine (i assume it was my router) but failed the overall test as i got the following message.
Ping Reply: RECEIVED (FAILED) — Your system REPLIED to our Ping (ICMP Echo) requests, making it visible on the Internet. Most personal firewalls can be configured to block, drop, and ignore such ping requests in order to better hide systems from hackers. This is highly recommended since "Ping" is among the oldest and most common methods used to locate systems prior to further exploitation.
I have checked the routers settings and the firewall is ON, I wonder if anyone could help me ensure that my router doesn't respond to ping tests, many thanks
Andy
Solved!

Hey buddy..lol, The Router is working great so far as i can tell but i have a problem accessing the log-in page to adjust settings i use http://tplinklogin.net and when i first boot up the router it seems to work fine for a while, then a few days later or even a few hours (there is no pattern) the router control panel become inaccessible a bit like a web page that doesn't exist. A re-start of the router always makes it accessible (till next time it isn't !! )
I've tried various browsers so don't think its a browser issue, and the router seems to carry on working fine i wonder if you could help again?
Many Thanks
Andy

Possible firewall issue

I've installed jboss on a non-global zone and verified the installation using lynx from within the non-global zone.
I can't see jboss from the global xone, another non-global zone, or a different machine. I can ping back and forth between all zones and other machines as well as ssh into the non-global jboss zone to admin it.
I tried issuing 'svcadm disable ipfilter' on both the global zone and non-global zone. It worked on the global zone but not the jboss zone (got 'pattern doesn't match any instances' error).
I tried rebooting the jboss-zone after disabling ipfilter on the global zone and still can't get anything.
Any ideas?

OK, just to test I started apache and it works as expected.
This must be a firewall issue. Does anyone know how to configure / diable it?

Cannot send email- Possible firewall issue

Hi all,
I have recently downloaded firefox, which was meant to replace safari on my macbook. Since doing this I have been having issues in sending emails from my aol accounts on mail.
Does anyone know how to rectify this so that I can send emails again as I need it for my business.
Thank you in advance.
Laura

I too am having trouble sending emails on my mac but can receive ok.
Sometimes I can send mail but most times it just times out. I have spoken to my service provider but they insist that it is something to do at my end.
I have recently installed a Apple Base station with modem attached. This has been a problem since I added this device. Before I used a D-link route which was ok for years until it died.
I have read several discussing that talk about changing the MTU settings on the mac using terminal. Surely this can not be the way? And to have to do it every time you log in sounds mad.
I set the MTU on the modem to 1431 when speaking with my service provider but this didn't make any changes.
Any ideas what I can do?

Cannot install any apps from Creative Cloud in corporate environment. Suspsected Firewall issues.

Hello all.
I subscribed successfully and easily to CC on my home PC (iMac) and downloaded a few apps. All is fine.
I wanted to download those same few apps on a remove machine I use several times a week (Win 7).
After many many attempts of trying to download CC and getting a generic error message, I learned it could be a firewall issue here at this work/office. I found this in Adobe's forums:
Many organizations use a hardware firewall and proxy server that can prevent software from accessing an FTP server. A hardware solution applies to all computers within the corporate network. Most home networks do not use hardware firewall or proxy technology.
Contact your company's IT department to obtain firewall or proxy information.
Configure your browser with proxy or firewall information.
Configure your corporate firewall to by-pass the servers. The following servers are accessed:
ccmdl.adobe.com:80
swupmf.adobe.com:80
swupdl.adobe.com:80
Having nothing to loose, I put in a request and had these addresses/ports opened up in our firewall. That seems to partially fix the problem.
Now the problem is the speed and traffic is so terribly slow with CC that nothing installs with out failing and giving error. For example, I am trying to install PhotoShop CC and it will take a couple of HOURS to even get to 10% and then it fails. Usually, it doesn't get that far. CC just gives me the generic message:
"Installation Failed - Learn More."
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(-7).
Our network admins swear that there is nothing wrong with the ports/firewall and yet all this works fine at my home. Can anyone offer any suggestions or advice? My internet connection here is fine. All other sites load and work fine. I simply cannot download any of the CC aps here with any reasonable speed.
Help!
PS - The URLs and ports ping just fine.

Hi RedBirdOBX1,
I'd recommend checking out the two pdf documents in the
Adobe Creative Cloud Service Access Documentation for IT section on this page:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/creativesuite/enterprisedeployment.html
Adobe Creative Cloud Network Endpoints
Adobe Creative Cloud Controlling Service Access
and if you're still struggling this might be another alternative:

Hope that helps,

Can't scan from Lexmark multifunction printer - firewall issue?

Hi there!
I got a Lexmark printer/scanner combo which used to work fine on my arch install. However, its mobo died, so now I'm back at another install which refuses to scan. Scanning is done through the browser via a java applet residing on the printer's webserver. The applet does start (so it's not a java issue), but refuses to receive data from the scanner. Within the printer's web interface, it reads
If using Windows XP, the Windows XP personal firewall must be disabled before using Scan to PC profiles.
, so I'm assuming it might be a firewall issue. Lexmark's website provides the following advice:
The following two command lines will open the port 5353 for incoming and outgoing connections:
iptables -I INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 5353 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT -p udp -m udp --dport 5353 -j ACCEPT
NOTE: These steps will work on most distributions configured with IPTABLES. There is no common command to make these rules persistent.
As I don't know anything about IP tables, I've simply copied these commands (as root, obviously). Still, I can't scan.
So, my questions are:
1. Has anybody else ever come across an issue like this?
2. I don't even know for sure, whether this is a firewall issue - What iptabled magic would I need to temporarily disable the firewall to check?
3. I tried checking my rules by "iptables -L". How can I tell "iptables -L" to specify the ports it is working on (as I did in the commands copied from lexmark's website)?
Best wishes,
Rufus

Hi Bob
I believe so. We put the install disc into this mac back when we bought it to set up the printer. I'm assuming the scanning drivers were there as well since it's a multifunctional printer/scanner/fax wireless printer.
We've tried it both ways. If I press the button scan on the printer, it reads can't find computer (or something like that). When we go thru the HP icon on my computer screen and choose scan to computer, it does nothing.
We don't scan that often. So the few times when we ran into this problem, we just did something else (like take a pic from our iPhone and email the pic...kinda stupid but did the trick.
But I want to have the function of the scanner available. So that's why I'm here asking...thought others had this issue and had a solution.

Windows Firewall issue, Inbound rule opend all, still not the same as turning off

This is Windows Firewall issue on Windows 8.1 Pro.
Backup Exec server cannot expand a computer node in selection list. I drill down to Microsoft Windows Network/Domain/Computers, then when I tried to expand a Windows 8.1 Pro computer node, it hangs out.
I narrowed this problem to Windows firewall related issue on Windows 8.1 Pro computer.
When I turn off Windows Firewall on Domain profile, Backup Exec Selection expands the computer node of the Windows 8.1 Pro computer. So, I created an inbound rule opening all to BAckup Exec server as following, but it's still not the same as turning off
Windows firewall specifically on Windows 8.1 Pro computer;
Any Local IP address, Any Remote IP address, Any port, Any protocol, All Interface, All Programs and Services, All profiles(Domain, Private, Public)
And there are no rules blocking any which may override the above rule.
Ethernet on Windows 8.1 Pro computer shows profile is linked with Domain, but just to make it work, I selected all profiles.
Even though I opened all available in inbound rule, it's still not the same as turning off windows firewall. Why am I missing?

It looks as something related to RPC(UDP 135), but even when inbound rule is all open, why it matters? RPC seems working fine only when firewall is turned off on domain profile.

RMI firewall issue - opening port 1099 is not enough

Hello,
We have a distributed java desktop app that uses RMI with callbacks to communicate amongst the clients. It all works really well at our dev site and at 2 trial sites.
We are about to deploy out to more customer sites - so I have been doing more testing with firewalls etc and discovered some issues. Our customers are small businesses and typically have between 1 and 10 desktop clients that connect to the server via RMI. These customers are "very NOT technical", so we need to give them set-and-forget firewalls etc.
This is all on a LAN, with RMI using port 1099. On the firewalls (of the various PCs) we open ports 1099 (RMI) and 5432 (for the Postgres DB).
Also, I was using "CurrPorts" and "SmartSniff" to monitor the traffic at each PC - so I had a reasonable view of proceedings.
Basically, opening port 1099 on the server is necessary, but it is NOT ENOUGH. The RMI moves off to ports other than 1099, and the server firewall does not allow the connection.
Procedure ...
(1) start the "server" app - which starts the RMI registry - the "localhost" desktop app also starts and it works well to both the database and the RMI.
(2) start another client - it connects to the DB Server, but NOT the RMI server.
(3) open the server firewall to all traffic for a few seconds - then the client connects successfully.
From CurrPort logging I could watch the RMI comms progress over those first few minutes ...
Initially the comms do include port 1099 on the initial call to the server, but there after there are always 2 or 3 "channels" open, but not to 1099.
I notice that the Postgres DB keeps using port 5432 for all of its active channels - so it does not have the same firewall issue.
After we have opened the firewall for a few seconds - to enable the link - then we can turn the client on and off and the client re-connects without issue - so it would seem to be only an issue with the initial connection.
I am sure that this is all completely standard and correct RMI behavior.
QUESTIONS:
1. Can RMI be "forced" to always use port 1099 for connections, and not move to other ports? (like the database uses 5432)
2. Are there any suggestions for getting around this seemingly standard RMI behaviour?
Other comments ...
The firewall lets me open individual ports (say 1099) - BUT I can not justify opening ALL ports.
The firewall lets me open all ports to an application, say "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe", but that app will occasionally change at a customer's site as they will update their java version and suddenly our app will stop working.
Any guidance is appreciated.
Many Thanks,
-Damian

1. Can RMI be "forced" to always use port 1099 for connectionsYes. Export all your servers on the same port. See UnicastRemoteObject constructor that takes an int, or UnicastRemoteObject.exportObject(int). If the RMI Registry is a separate process you can't re-use 1099 for this purpose, but see below.
2. Are there any suggestions for getting around this seemingly standard RMI behaviour?Yes. Start the RMI Registry in the same JVM as the code, then you only need to use 1099 for everything.
If you are using server socket factories, make sure they have an equals() method, or use the same instance for all remote objects.

V3.6.3 Crash Today - Possible Plugin Issue?

Re: v3.6.3 Crash Today - Possible Plugin Issue?
Ref: (a) Crash ID bp-cb196f96-dd38-44d7-bffb-778a22100531.
(b) https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
This user really does not know whether a plugin is involved here, but also, cannot rule that out. And exploring the Plugin Check page with its limited information, has found the following significant issue un-addressed, and thus, mysterious to him.
Please, consider adding to the Plugin Check page, ref. (b), an explanation on this question>> What must one do, i.e., perform what steps, to update a plugin? I.e, is it infallibly sufficient to download & to run the download? Is updating a fully automated process for all plugins?, or even for some plugins? E.g., does updating an Adobe plugin ever require uninstalling the old plugin first (as does updating the Adobe Reader program, and Acrobat, etc.)? How shall the general user of Firefox know precisely what he/she should perform in this regard, when it is well known that the Adobe updates sites generally fail to recognize and advise the user on the question of whether to uninstall first. We see it in forums, that many of us general users have encountered install failures with Adobe updates, and (1) have found that Adobe updates usually do not work well if installed over the old version, and (2) have found that uninstalling Adobe apps often does not go smoothly and fails to complete the job, leaving vulnerable exe's or dll's hanging around to frustrate our subsequent updating. And, Adobe is not the only offender in this way. A frank and helpful mention of this issue would save much wailing and gnashing of teeth, and if uninstallation is a good idea, please explain how to Uninstall a Plugin, because plugins generally lack an Uninstall button in the Add-ons window of Firefox. And, this begs the question, is it desirable to Disable a plugin, before running the updating installation file? Or is there "no benefit" if Disabled first? Please try to write up these aspects plainly. Ideally, from this user's perspective, placement of this ought to be a few sentences directly on the Plugin Check page. Your consideration and adoption of this suggestion is respectfully requested, and it will be much appreciated.

''You can disable plugins here: Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
See also Troubleshooting plugins
Plugins provide a way to use other program to embed content. so you have to go to the program that adds a plugin and check the options (preferences) to disable the plugin.''
Anyone knowledgeable, please comment.
Thanx for suggesting the Disable button, cor-el, but my question addressed Uninstall of Plug-ins. This was due to the now-recognized problem which afflicts Adobe update patches, that the patch doesn't go well unless the old version is Uninstalled first; thus requiring a clean installation of the fully updated application.
It is my understanding that the Disable button does not necessarily uninstall the old files. When I was unaware of this consistently occurring property of Adobe's patches, I had more than one case of Adobe Reader and Acrobat failing to update completely, causing hours of fruitless troubleshooting, and this continued with the most recent patches to Adobe Reader, the one updating it to v9.3.2, as well as earlier ones. Therefore, it seems not unreasonable to expect that the Shockwave Flash plugin that is now flagged as vulnerable again (v10.0.45.2), needs to be Uninstalled before updating.
Is there no dependable method for Uninstalling plugins?
If not, then one wonders, why not? Is there a reason why Mozilla designs Plugins to be different from Extensions in this regard?

I have Internet access, but don't have an ability to watch videos on our new iPad2. We are in a hotel, could it be their service or firewall issue?

If you are unable to view content that has already been downloaded then you problem is within you device. First shut it down all the way by holiding the sleep button at the top until the power off slide appears at the top of your screen. Then slide that and wait while it powers off. Give it a good 30 seconds to do this. then power it back up. if that doesn't work, you may need to call the apple care folks. One other option is to restore it to factory settings and reload it with the updates first and then sink your media to it. You should already have it backed up to iCloud, but if not, do that first then do the restore.

Unsolvable OS X firewall issues

Since switching from TWC to Verizon High Speed Internet, I've been unable to download Netflix, play Yahoo Backgammon, send email via Network Solutions server, send or receive email from mobile me account, and connect to a JSTOR server for downloading articles on my iMac, OS X 10.6.6. I suspect that it's a firewall issue, but haven't been able to confirm that with Verizon customer service.
The first time I called about the email, after verifying that we had an internet connection, Verizon said that it must be Network Solutions. I called Network Solutions and found that everything was in order there. I phoned Apple, and found that everthing was in order on my machine and software. Navigating the Automated Call Distrbution and hold times at each of these places took about 3 hours, which included about 40 minutes of trouble shooting - most of it by Apple. I had to go to work.
On my next day off I called verizon and asked to have my call escalated to a higher tier mac support technician, but they said that they didn't have higher tier technicians. We went through a laborious troubleshooting process, and the tech couldn't find the problem within 50 minutes, and I had to leave for an appointment. I couldn't call back that week. Verizon phoned a day or two later and left a message on my answering machine that invited me to call a toll free number if my issue had not been resolved. I called before leaving for work a few days later, got through to a Verizon mac OS tech, and went through the same laborious trouble shooting process to no avail. I asked to be transferred to a higher level tech, and the tech just put me back in the hold queue. The new service tech wanted to go through the same protocals that I had already been through, which I found unacceptable. As this was my forth attempt to correct this problem, I asked him to read the notes from previous service techs. The only note he could find said "Unable to connect to the internet."
I believe I'm beyond my 30 day trial, but I desperately want out of my contract with Verizon. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Possible Cascade Issue on 11.1.1.3?

I searched all forums for possible Cascade issues on the add-in and am not finding out anything. We're also up-to date with on the Essbase patches (server and client).
The issue arises when trying to cascade, a spreadsheet is generated but is empty. Likewise, if I select 'One Workbook, Separate sheets', the same thing happens.
We're on office 2007.

Hi Siva,
I think that these are questions that you should ask on the Infrastructure space since the guys there have way much more knowledge on installations. Additionally, I would suggest to discuss these questions with a consultant who is going to have broader understanding of your requirements.
Regarding question number 1, generally speaking version 11.1.2.3 is considered to be an improved and more stable version of 11.2.2.2.
Regarding question number 3, you need to provide more details like number of users per tool, number of concurrent users, volume of data per tool, requirements for High Availability or Disaster recovery etc…
Regards,
Thanos

"Possible precedence issue with control flow operator"

Hi guys
I have following Problem:
Yesterday I made a distribution update from debian wheezy to debian jessie.
Since then I got a problem with a plugin which I'm using for Icinga a monitoring system.
When I run it, I got the error that there is an "Undefined subroutine".
I read on google that I can fix it, with reinstalling the vsphere SDK, but the installation stuck at "CPAN is downloading and installing pre-requisite Perl module "SOAP::Lite"".
I can skip this step with Ctrl+C and at the end it says "This installer has successfully installed...".
But when I run the Plugin I get the error message "Possible precedence issue with control flow operator at /usr/share/perl/5.20/VMware/VICommon.pm line 2147." and the whole plugin stucks.
I tried the following step which I found in this forum and the error message doesn't appear, but the plugin still stucks...
Re: VMware-vSphere-Perl-SDK-5.5.0-1384587 broken with perl 5.20
I have also Perl 5.20.2...
Can you guys help me?
Vinzenz

Ok I could fix it...
I changed the line 2147 to
return (defined $user_agent->cookie_jar and
$user_agent->cookie_jar->as_string ne '');
And this time I waited for a long time and I get a error message that there is a problem with SOAP.
The solution was to downgrade Net-HTTP and libwww-perl with following commands:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
o conf urllist push http://backpan.perl.org
install GAAS/Net-HTTP-6.03.tar.gz
install GAAS/libwww-perl-6.03-tar.gz
The second Command loads older releases to the urllist.
Thx for your help and I hope I could help others with the same problem.

Possible DNS issue with AirPort Express basestation?

Hi all -
Up until recently my Airport Express has been working great. This past weekend I started noticing that website browsing became slow, and some websites would not come up at all (e.g. popular sites like wordpress.org).
Otherwise my internet connection works fine (email works, browsing for the most part is normal for all computers on the network, pc and mac).
I read that this could be a possible DNS issue. I unplugged the AE basestation and plugged my Powerbook directly into my cable modem and was able to get to all websites that I couldn't get to while using the AE. That, and browsing was a heck of a lot faster (it seemed).
Can anyone help me out and point me to a specific setting on the AE that I can toggle, correct, whatever, to solve this (possible) DNS issue?
Thanks!
Jeff

Dear Henry, Thanks for your reply, and we are sorry for having intruded upon the wrong thread with our troubles. Perhaps you could point us to the most pertinent thread. Further pushing credulity Might you assist us further?... We have checked every floor in the building and no new equip has been added, though I can't speculate on the 'hood at large. We added a Time Capsule to the mix hoping that might bring back some stability and speed, but results aren't very promising so far. perhaps you might point us to a resource for professional help, or web sites that may help us define and implement something beyond the ad hoc system we have currently. We have read through the Apple docs regarding Designing Networks, and though informative they don't necessarily explain the nuances / consequences of different configurations, for instance, that WDS will adversely affect net speed. Thanks in advance for your input (should you wish to assist). If you are so inclined I can provide the snap shot of our list of hardware. And again apologies if we are in the wrong place.
