Vonage, dsl and airport configuration need help!

Vonage is not Mac proficient. I cannot get a technician on their end to help me connect the router they sent me to configure it to work with my airport base station and dsl modem. Is there anyone out there who is actually up and running wirelessly via airport extreme base station with a Zyxel P-660R modem from Earthlink DSL with Linksys RT31P2 broadband router from Vonage?

From a quick google, it looks like you should take the ethernet connection from the Zyxel into the RT31P2's "Internet" port. Connect a second ethernet cable between one of the RT31P2's LAN ports and your Airport base station. Set the Airport as a bridge--connect using Ethernet, configure using DHCP, don't distribute IP addresses.

Problem with lacie HD and airport extreme need help!!

Let me first off tell you what my set up is powerbook with the latest 10.4 os, airport extreme software up to date, a Lacie 500gb usb hard disk connected to the airport extreme, i've got an apple TV connected to the extreme via ethernet, I also have a macbook pro using the airport.
The problem i've got is the powerbook is the main hub between the external hard disk and the apple tv but it's started to not hold a connection to the lacie i keep having to tell the powerbook to connect then ok it with a password and as a result i have to keep re syncing things like movies and photos to the apple tv.
Is there a way to automatically connect the powerbook to the hard disk with out it needing a password if not can anyone come up with an explanation as to why the disk has started to unmount after being fine for weeks?
My macbook pro has no problems keeping a connection.
Thanks in advance

I just found out something today which might help you Daniel, but that doesn't solve our problem in a "classic" way...
So I was very obsessed by the fact that Windows Vista could actually access the shared HD with Bonjour and with a lot of testing I found this : let's say my macbook pro was off, if I would access the HD with Vista and then open up the MacBook Pro, then there would be no problem.
Eventually I found out that the problem really came from the fact that my WD MyBook 1Tb external drive was putting itself on standby after a while (which is a good thing actualy). When I was trying to connect to the drive while it was on standby with Finder, it would try to connect forever... however, it would physically wake up the external drive (I could tell by the sound)... but too late for Finder, and no way to access it other than rebooting the Mac... OR crashing Finder (Apple Menu - Force to quit). Then the Finder restarts automatically and the drive works.
I really don't like this solution (having to crash finder) but it works.
PLEASE if someone has a better way, let me know !!!

Setup Guest Network with OS X Server and Airport Extreme - NEED HELP!

Hi All,
So I have a small business with a Mac Mini Server (10.6.5) and an Airport Extreme. The Airport is handling the routing and DHCP duties, while the Server is handling the DNS. The Airport is pointed to pull DNS from the Server. All internal systems work great accessing the internet and folders on the Server.
I need to setup a Guest network for internet access, so I turned this function on in the Airport Extreme. It sets up fine, but if you connect to that new Guest Network the system hangs trying to open a web page. My thinking is since the Server is the one handling the DNS it is not working for Guest computers since they are not part of our internal network. At least that is my theory, I could be wrong.
With this type of setup what do I need to modify to get this working? Anyone have any ideas?

After trying for days to figure this out I was finally able to get a working solution and I now have my APE providing a guest and main network while using my lion server as the Dsn server for the main network.
The setup is a bit of a hack and does require you to have at least two devices with staticly assigned ip information on the main network but it does allow you to serve dhcp for both networks from the server and make some services available to the guest network such as iTunes remote for parties.
1) delete your custom Dns entries from the Internet settings in the APE and set two dhcp reservations for .2 and .3 (in this case my Mac mini server and my airport express)
2) reduce the dhcp range to only have 2 available IPs (10.0.1.2-10.0.1.3) and save settings
3) on a computer connected to the main network install wireshark and begin sniffing for packets. Connect at least one device to your guest network and look for any packets that have an ip from your guest network (usually 172.16.42.x) once you capture one of these packets expand the vlan information. This should list a vlan ID ( in my case this was 1003. I would suspect this is universal but do not know)
4) on your server open network preferences, click the gear at the bottom and click "manage virtual interfaces", add a vlan that matches the vlan ID from above. Click ok and apply your settings. The vlan interface should get an ip in the guest network range from your APE.
* if you are running lion you will need to install server admin tools before proceeding*
5) open server admin and add the dhcp service. Create an entry for your primary network (ex: 10.0.1.x) make the dhcp range one higher than the settings in step 2 ( ie: 10.0.1.4 to 10.0.1.253) assign this to the physical interface. Make sure this entry has your internal DNA servers
6) add another entry for the guest networks ip range (ex: 172.16.42.x) again set it one ip higher than step 2 ( 172.16.42.4 to 172.16.42.253) save and activate both ranges. Assign this range to the vlan interface. Make sure this entry either contains your isps dns servers or another public dns server. Turn on dhcp.
Because you have now assigned the only two addresses in the APEs pool for your primary network to static entries there will not be any addresses to assign and the APE will not respond to requests. This will allow your server to pick up the work of assigning IPs. As for your guest network, the APE will assign IPs for two host and then stop. Your clients may either get an IP from the APE or the osx server so both should have the same info. Just make sure the two static clients on your main network have the local DNA servers entered manually.

Verizon DSL and Airport Extreme

I'm going to add aniBook (oe whatever Apple will call it by then) this spring, as I want to enjoy the wi fi fun like evryone else. My ISP is Verizon DSL, and I was wondering if anyone else here in the discussion board is currently using an Ibook with Verzion DSL and Airport Extreme. I think Verizon has a modem that supports both wired and wireless networking--which is what I'll need since I won't be retiring my iMac G5 anytime soon. So any adive or info would be appreciated.

I currently have the ActionTech Modem (supplied by Verizon) as my wireless router, but would like to replace that with my Airport Extreme. Can this be done?
You will need both. Since both supply NAT, DHCP services and WiFi Access Point, you will have to turn off all three of those in one of them. This is usually called putting the device in "bridge" mode. My recommendation is to turn off those features on the Actiontech modem/router/access point, turning it into a plain DSL modem, and let the AEBSn do all the 3 features (NAT, DHCP, AP).

Best Router with DSL Modem for use with AT&T DSL and Airport Express?

I recently had my old 2WIRE from AT&T DSL service die, so purchased a new 2WIRE 2701HG-B. My old 2WIRE worked with my Airport Express, which is hooked up to my DVR for DirecTV use. The new 2WIRE apparently is not compatible with the Airport Express, so I returned it and purchased a NetGear Wireless-N 300 Router with DSL modem. While this one does work with the Airport Express setup, it runs very slow. This router has mediocre reviews, so I'd like to find a better one.
I'd appreciate any suggestions for a Router w Modem that would work best with my AT&T DSL and Airport Express (802.11n) within the $100 - $150 price range. Thanks!

Configure the Express as a bridge: Connect via "Ethernet", and set Connection Sharing to "off (bridge mode)".
The switches ought not to be a problem, and I don't know why your router froze. The Express is simply another wired client, just like a computer might be.
do I turn off DHCP on the router,
No. Something has to provide routing functions so leave the Linksys alone.

Look for cloud solutions such as DropBox, OneDrive, SugarSync or others. They are all cloud based services that sync documents between computers via the cloud. Of course another solution is simply a flash drive formatted in exFat so that Macs and Windows computers can read it.

Purchased extreme to replace modem/router DSL used telephone cord need help with set up

Prior to purchasing Airport Extreme had a standard modem/ wireless router from ATT for DSL. I have two macbooks both dropped connections while online with older modem.
Airport Extreme purchased to correct connection issues I need help with set up. The older modem just used telephone cord. I tried to use telephone with extreme it did not work.
How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?

How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?
you can't. the extreme is only a router. you need a separate modem (or disable the wireless part of your old router and use it as a modem - if that's possible).

Few errror/doubts in Primary and Standby server - Need Help

Hi All,
I am having below doubts/errors. I need help to solve all the below questions.
I configured Dataguard successfully. Now the sync is upto date using the below parameters (using 11g):

log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=standby.123 arch'
standby_file_management=auto
at sandby:
log_archive_dest_1=

Still i face below messages in the alertliog. Can anybody clearly explain me all the points.
Primary:

I get this error when my archvie destination got filled up, later we released the enough space, the archived are generating. Still i see this message once in between. Need to solve this.
Primary:
Checkpoint not complete ( i see this message very often, want to get rid of this)
standby:

standby:
check that the CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME initialization parameter is defined to a value that is sufficiently large enough to maintain afequate log switch information to resolve archivelog gaps. (also get this message in between the alertlog file in standby)
Standby:

Here is the very first hit I got when I googled "oracle checkpoint not complete". Tom says it better than I would have.

A quick google of that one, and it looks like it is not even an error, but rather simply an informative

In that case I would check that the CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME initialization parameter is defined to a value that is sufficiently large enough to maintain adequate log switch information to resolve archivelog gaps.
How big is that? Well, at least bigger than it is now. Beyond that, it would have to be "large enough to maintain adequate log switch information to resolve archivelog gaps" Just play with it until you get the result you want.

WRT54GS cannot be configured, need help!!!!

Ok.. I am getting so lost. I will try to explain the best I can what is going on. I just bought the Wireless G router with speedbooster and put the CD in to set it up, did everything it told me to do on the screen as far as pluggin cables in yada yada. When it came to step 4 of 4 it said "Waiting for Router". Then after about 2-3 minutes it comes back saying the following:
YOUR ROUTER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CONNECTED PROPERLY
Error 322: New router or Gateway not detected
Follow these steps:
1) Make sure you are connecting your new router and not your old router
2) Make sure the ethernet cable from your computer is securely connected to a LAN port on the back of your new router
3) Click retry to try installing your router again
Also, when I try to retry the setup without unplugging anything it says this:
Linksys EasyLink Advisor Setup Wizard has discovered that you are already connected to a router. Many people choose to replace an existing router with their new Linksys Router.
I can connect to the internet without configuring the router!!! It isn't secure though! I want to configure my router so that it is secure and I don't know what to do to fix this.
I am using a Comcast provided modem, RCA model # DCM425
Any help would be greatly appreciated... Remember I am a noob so please don't confuse me more with words I don't understand.. Thanks
One more thing. When it is "Waiting for router" the 2 computer icon comes up at bottom of screen saying acquiring IP address so I double clicked on it and it would be connected with the IP address 192.168.1.1 and then all of a sudden it would say Invalid IP address not connected. I really need help here!!!

Ok, I'm not 100% sure I can help you, but I will try.
First thing, find the setup disk that came with the router and use it as a coaster or a frisbee or something because it is almost completely worthless.
Until you have completed the setup of the router, I would suggest using a computer that is connected directly to the router via ethernet cable. The reason being, if you change any settings wirelessly, such as security features, you will be disconnected and unable to access it again. So use a computer that is directly connected for setup.
The IP address you saw in you system tray is the IP address of the router itself. You actually need this for your router setup. Open whichever web browser you use and type in that IP address, nothing else. 192.168.1.1 A login screen should appear for you to enter your user name and password. Leave the user name blank and for the password enter "admin" without the quotes. This should bring you to your basic settings screen for the router.
From this point, I'm sure exactly how you want to set everything up. If you're not very familiar with networking or routers I would suggest you change very little. If you desire security for your network (which I suggest) click on the "Wireless" tab at the top of the screen. This should bring you to basic wireless settings. From here, you can change the name of your wireless network, change the broadcast frequency and enable/disable wireless broadcast. You can change these if you like or leave them alone whichever you prefer. I do suggest changing the name of you network (SSID) so you can tell which one is yours when you try to connect. It gets confusing when everyone in your neighborhood has a Linksys and all of the names look similar.
Once you're done here, next click on the "Wireless Security" tab within the "Wireless" tap. Make sure you are click "Wireless Security" and not just "Security." From here, you can select the kind of wireless security you want to use. I'm not highly informed on which of these is the best, but WEP is probably the strongest security you're going to need anyway, so I would go with that. After you select WEP you get a few more options. For "default transmit key" just select one. Then in the "WEP Encryption" drop down, select "128 bits 26 hex digits." 64 would most likely be ok, but 128 bit encryption is definitely better.
In the next box "Passphase" enter a word or short phrase that is only known to you an click generate. The four boxes below will now have you WEP keys. I delete all but the first key to keep things simple, but whatever you want to do is up to you. After you delete the other three lines, select the key in your first line and select/copy it so that you can just paste it into the box in network options when you're connecting to the network. Regardless, I would also write this key down somewhere. If you have multiple computers in the house you have to enter it on each and every one and it's a pain to go back and forth. Click save settings. You're pretty much done. There are other things you can do to beef up security, but this is the most basic and it's still quite strong.
If you are looking at playing games frequently or anything like that I would go to PortForward.com
Any other questions you have, you should be able to google I think. I hope I can help. Good Luck.

Airport original need help to set up

New airport user need help setting up a pc on the network

went and bought a airport extream today and my mac works fine on it but i also have a pc and need help getting it to work with the airport express. it seems to see the airport in the network slection screen but after i put in the pass i get nothing and it returns to the "chose a wireless network" can anyone help?

Thanks for the reply.
That's interesting, I guess I had assumed that would be a basic thing.
Right now the 4000 number is in port 1, and then 4244 is in port 2. So if no one else is on the phone, and my boss picks up his phone, dials 9 then XXX-XXXX, he will be routed outbound on the 4000 line on port 1. Then while he's talking, if I pick up the phone and dial 9 then XXX-XXXX, I will be routed out on the 4244 line on port 2.
Am I understanding that correctly?
If that is the case, then that is a bit frustrating. Our 4000 line has everything on it, call waiting, caller id, long distance, etc. But the 4244 line is just a basic service. So if I'm calling local or toll free, I don't want to tie the other line up in case someone else needs to make a long distance call to a client. Is there any work around to that at all? Is there any way to use steering digits to point the call to the right line? Would we have to put the PSTN lines on seperate SPA400's?
Again, any comments and suggestions are much appreciated!

Wish I didn't upgrade! and now I need help to figure out how to make it wor

I have a Windows XP Pro 2nd edition with IE ver 6.0.2 (but I normally use FireFox)
I've never had any trouble with iTunes until iTunes "forced" me to upgrade my iTunes applicaiton to version 6 if I wanted to "purchase" music. (note to self: Purchase music from stores it's much safer)...
I upgraded and received no error messages. Trouble is now, when I launch the iTunes application it doesn't "open" ... although the iTunes process begins to run in the background process (ctraltdelete).
I have uninstalled and installed 5 different times and ways.
First uninstall was "typical" uninstall. THat didn't fix it.
Second uninstall was "typical" unistall from the Control Panel, and then I removed the folders from the "program File" folder. Still wouldn't work.
Third unintall was "typical" then I removed folders from local drive and removed all "known" registry "itune" keys. That didn't work.
Fourth uninstall was first a "repair" to itunes, and then a "typical" uninstall, then I removed folders, removed registry (does anyone know all of itunes registry keys? Maybe I am missing a few.. the only ones I know of is the "itune" reg). Then I looked through my start up menu from "msconfig" and took a look at my firewall program to see if there was anything preventing the program from running...
Fifth uninstall pretty much fruitless as my previous attempts.
I know it HAS to be a registry key of some sort.. here's why:
When I uninstall and reinstall (no matter how thourough) every time I install the iTunes program Windows XP has never ONCE recognized the new install of iTunes as a "NEW PROGRAM" and it should!
I need help... what registry keys should I be removing? ANyone suggest for me to remove Quick Time too? What about the ipod updater software? Any connection?
HELP??????????????????
THanks

hi wmchisholm!
Trouble is now, when I launch the iTunes application it doesn't "open" ... although the iTunes process begins to run in the background process (ctraltdelete).
hmmm. is itunes.exe persisting in Task Manager? if so, first check up on these two possibilities:
iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
iTunes for Windows doesn't open after upgrading
but if itunes.exe is disappearing after a few seconds, try the following technique:
Using MSCONFIG to troubleshoot conflicts in Windows
... and let us know the names (exact spelling please) of the start-up items that you had to disable in order to get itunes to launch. (there's a nasty piece of malware out there that has been causing "error-less" itunes launch failures since late October.)

No ACL deny logs for Traffic not matched by Static Object NATs and ACL. Need Help.

I start noticing that I do not see any denied traffic coming in on my ACL. To better explain, lets say I have this config.
### Sample Config ###
object network webserver
host 192.168.1.50
nat (dmz, outside) static X.X.X.X service tcp www www
access-list inbound extended permit ip any4 object webserver eq www
If I generate a traffic from the outside let's say a traffic that is trying to access X.X.X.X via TCP Port 8080 which obviously does not have any NAT entry to it going to my DMZ, I don't see the ACL denies it anymore but instead comes back with a Drop Reason: (nat-no-xlate-to-pat-pool) . On the packet trace I got this. (Below) it seems that does not even hit the ACL as there is no xlate found for it, at least to what the drop reason says.

My question is how can I generate logs for these type of dropped traffic on the ASA 9.1 Version?
Any comments/suggestions are gladly appreciated :)
Regards,
John

I believe, but am not 100% sure, that the reason you are not seeing the ACL drop but a no NAT matched is because of the changes from 8.2 to 8.3 in the order of how things are done. In 8.3 and later you need to secify the real IP address when allowing packets in, and this is because NAT happens before the ACL is matched. So since there is no match on the NAT the packet is dropped then and there, never reaching the stage where ACLs are checked.
As to seeing drops in the ACL log...You might want to try adding an ACL that matches the NATed IP...but I don't think you will have much success with that either. My guess is that there is no way around this...at least no way I know of.
