Very important information: No access, but Static IP set and port forwarded?

Here is some important information I just learned, and I hope it will benefit the entire community.
So, I have a WRT54G router, and I was trying to make a webserver. Everything should have been working fine, but I could not access it when I tried to use a proxy. (To eliminate local loopbacks.) I contacted a support rep at our favorite site, and after about 2 hours of going back and forth, they suggested I set my static IP address to something the DHCP range DID NOT cover. I did, and viola, it worked.
I can't honestly say why it did, or why I had not known of that before hand.
Point in case, try setting your Static IP address to one that is not included in the router's DHCP range.
I hope this information will be posted everywhere.
Enjoy!

In Linksys routers, the DHCP server expects to have full control over all LAN IP addresses within its range.  It does not expect you to assign one of its addresses (so this is likely the cause for your problem).   Normally, any fixed (static) LAN IP address must be outside the DHCP server range, and it cannot end in 0, 1, or 255.

  • HT201263 I forgot my passcode to iphone 4s. I entered wrong and now it says, disabled connect to itunes.  I have some VERY important information on the phone and it was not backed up. Is there anyway I can unlock my phone and not lose my information?

    I locked my iphone 4s, I forgot the passcode and it says disabled connect to itunes. I have some very important information on the phone I can't lose, How can I retrieve that information if the phone was not backed up to icloud of my mac? I will go to court over this to prove it is my phone.  I just can't lose this information. Please, Please, Please, help me. I will mail the phone in to apple store if that will help.

    You can't. If your phone is disabled, the data has already been erased...that's the whole point of the passcode. Your only option now is:
    Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
    Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • VNC without access to set up port forwarding

    I just bought the VNC Viewer app for my iPhone 4 and got it to work over 3G and wifi with my macbook pro connected to my home network. I know very little about networking but I knew enough to be able to set up port forwarding to my ip on my router at home. The problem is that I am a student in college right now, so my computer will be hooked up to the schools network when winter break is over. I have no access to set anything up on the network at school, so how will I get this to work? I made a host name at no-ip (does that allow me to connect to my computer even when my ip changes?), and I read something about being able to set up an ssh tunnel to make it work...maybe? I now have no idea what to do and the other forums I've read about this topic are using language that I am not familiar with. I need some network education! Again, the problem is setting up my MacBook Pro to allow a VNC connection on a network I have no control over. Thanks!

    My suggestion is using TeamViewer.com (they have both a Mac and an iPhone app) and it is free for personal use.
    Team viewer has the ability to work across routers and corporate firewalls.
    The problem with ssh is that it also needs port forwarding the same as VNC. You could have your Mac at college ssh to a Mac at home, setting up a reverse tunnel (ssh -R). You then VNC to the Mac at home, and instead of attaching to a VNC server at home, you connect to the ssh tunnel listening for connections. You would have to always have the tunnel established from your college Mac to a home Mac (or it could be a Linux box at home). And at home you would also need to port forward port 22 so your college Mac and ssh into your home Mac.
    It might be an interesting exercise, but I think you would be happier using TeamViewer.com

  • A bunch of my notes have been getting delted recently..Whenever I go to notes theres another one gone.. How do I get them back? I have very important information on there!

    Please help! I have alot of important information for work and school in some of these notes and all my important ones are gone! I havent deleted any within the past 4 months and about a month ago they started disappearing. I dont have icould on for my notes on my ipad or iphone. These notes were only located on my Iphone.

    What exactly did your friend do ? Did you or he take a backup of your iTunes library before updating your computer ? Have you checked to see if your music is still on your computer ? By default your iTunes library is stored under :
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
    Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
    If it's there then you can add it to your iTunes library via File > Add To Library.
    If not then do you have a copy of your library on a backup ? If you do then use File > Add To Library to add it back.
    If you haven't got a backup then you might, depending upon what country that you are in and if the music is still in your country's store, be able to redownload your iTunes purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.

  • Important information regarding the Flex 2.0 runtime and UNIX

    Hi,
    There's an issue with Flex 2.0 when the J2EE is installed on a UNIX server.
    upon deployment and running an iView, the runtime shows only a blank grey area.
    upon refreshing the browser, the iView is displayed as ussual.
    the source of this issue, as we discovered, lays in the configuration of the J2EE engine.
    and so - in order to solve this issue, one should access the J2EE Visual administrator and perform the next steps:
    1. In Visual administrator, go to HTTP Provider service of the server.
    2. Look for the "Never Compressed" property.
    3. Add "*.swf" and also "application/x-shockwave-flash" to the list. Make sure that you also add commas properly...
    4. Restart the J2EE server and test the result.

    Hi,
    Please try to delete the browser cache ("Delete temporary files" in IE).
    I know that sounds silly, but it could really solve the issue
    afterwards you can deploy and run as ussual.
    If that works, please let as all know.
    (points is also good..)

  • Accessing Custom Controller from setter and Getter methods

    Hi Gurus
    How can we access the custom controller from setter and getter methods,is there any way to do that.
    Thanks & Regards
    Rajasekhar

    Hi Steve.
    Thanks very much for valuable information,  the main controller class is getting tracked in mo_owner which is declared as  CL_BSP_WD_VIEW_CONTROLLER, and I'm getting the reference through
    mo_owner ?= owner. (since mo_owner = owner is not getting converted of type mo_owner ). After doing this on whatever the contexnode class (say zl_xxxx_xxx_cnxx) the corressponding context node values are getting turned as  <#ERROR IN METADATA.
    I mean when I'm checking the configuration in bsp_wd_cmpwb configuration tab -> Available Fields->Enlarge the contex node->BTSTATUS (say for Example) there the values are showing as <#ERROR IN METADATA , After executing the above procedure
    I cross checked several times before and after redefining the context node method IF_BSP_MODEL~INIT, before redefining this method UI is working fine, after redefintion UI is throwing below error .
    Exception Details
    CX_SY_REF_IS_INITIAL - Dereferencing of the NULL reference

  • WRT54G Setting static ip and port forwarding for Xbox360

    1)This is my first post and I'm a little new at this. I have a WRT54G v5 router with the latest firmware update. I have the proper ports fowarded that I found on this site. I basically want full priority to my xbox360 because I have been having some lag issues and dropping out of rooms, especially when someone is on the computer. I set a static ip on the xbox, I just picked 192.168.1.36 (Is that an ok #?).
    2)I have everything hardwired so I disabled 'wireless access web" under administration and I also disabled "wireless network mode" under the "Wireless" section. Is this correct or ok?? I don't want my neighbors or anything wireless accessing my router, will that do the trick?
    3)I'm looking at the first page you see at the linksys config page (under setup) and I see a section that says
    Static DNS 1:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    Static DNS 2:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    Static DNS 3:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    My question is do I need to put the static ip that I assigned to my xbox in one of these static DNS entry spots??
    4)Under: Applications & Gaming>QoS I set Ethernet port 4 (the one my xbox is on) to high priority. Is that all I need to do to get priority to the xbox over the computer? Or do I need to enter something under "Device Priority" such as device name, mac address, etc.? And do I need to enter something under "Application priority" such as: Application Name, Optimize Gaming Applications, Priority, and Speciific port #, etc.??
    5) Should I disable UPnP?
    It's kind of a lot of questions but I really want to understand this fully, any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks alot!

  • HD import to iMovie okay, but movie is grainy and cut-off on QuickTime

    I have Canon HD video camera set to FXP mode.
    Imported video looks OK in iMovie, but when I export to QuickTime (I selected BEST quality), movie looks grainy and the image is cropped in the vertical axis (heads cut-off).
    By contrast, when I use the Pixela software that came with the camera and import to my PC (boo!), and then export to .mpeg, movie quality is FINE and very sharp.
    Am I setting up QuickTime export wrong?
    Any suggestions much appreciated.

    Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have a backup of the library (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Can't play online games but NAT is open and ports are forwarded correctly. What now?

    Hi,
    I have a DSL modem/router from Windstream that is hooked up to a linksy WRT160N which is then wired to my xbox 360. Now I have had problems in the past with the modem/router interfering with the WRT and creating a Strict NAT type. I have fixed that by changing the routers IP address to 10.10.10.1 (recommended by a linksys technical support person) So, now I have a static IP address setup for my 360 and opened all the ports for that and the games I play online but I can't find a game. It just continual cycles in limbo land and I never get a game to play. Is there anything else I need to change in order to fix my issue. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks,

    5) Also assign the DNS Addresses on the Xbox
    Use DNS1 and DNS2 Addresses you took note off of the router status tab as Primary DNS & Secondary DNS for the xbox...
    6) Turn off your modem, router, and Xbox...Wait for a minute...
    7) Plug the modem power first, wait for another minute and plug the router power cable, wait another minute and turn on the Xbox and test it...it will connect...
