Wakeonlan - doesn't work over wireless

In researching the waking of my iMac for backups and remote file transfers, I have read several places words like:
"Obviously, it works only through ethernet and not with Airport connections."
Why should this be "obvious"?

Because if your machine is turned off or is asleep, the wireless connection is also turned off. There is no path for the magic packet to use to to trigger the wake up. A hard wired LAN connection is on as long as the machine has a source of power.

AirTunes not working over wireless from Windows 7

Setup:
Dell Inspiron 15 laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium)
Airport Express
Network:
ADSL router
+- Desktop PC (ethernet to router)
+- Airport Express (ethernet to router)
+- Dell laptop (wireless to Airport Express)
The Airport Express creates a wireless network (802.11n, 2.4GHz). The Dell laptop can't see the speakers. My Macbook Pro works fine. I've determined that the problem is that IPv6 isn't working over wireless. The Dell laptop can't see the Airport Express with the Airport Utility either.
When I plug the Dell laptop into the ethernet on the ADSL router, everything starts working fine. If you look at the interface information DHCPv6 is up.
Without the cable plugged in my wireless connection says:
IPv6 Connectivity: No network access
When a cable is plugged in:
IPv6 Connectivity: No internet access
(which is how it should be).
I am pulling my hair out here and have absolutely no idea why this won't work.
Firewall is completely disabled. The router also creates an 802.11g network but it's settings shouldn't matter (wireless isolation, which is turned off, and so on).
Any suggestions?

Airplay not working over wireless, works over ethernet?

I posted this in multiple forums in which it applies to.
Just looking for troubleshooting suggestions from my wireless N MBPro, to my wired ATV2. Here is the rundown (all devices running latest updates):
1)used to work just fine with old router
2)airplay works in all directions, from wireless devises to the wired ATV2
3)updated to a much newer N router from cisco
4)now, airplay works over Ethernet from itunes to ATV2 (and iphone4s to ATV2), ATV2 plays music from my MBPro just fine
5) however airplay fails to work from itunes to ATV2 over wirelesss
6)all wireless connections are sound, it is not a bandwidth problem, it literally says "connecting to apple tv" and never stops or connects
7)itunes sees the ATV2 just fine over both Ethernet and wireless connections, i can select ATV2 as an output even when on wireless
8)it will even ask for the password once i select it
So, any suggestions? I just dont know where I am going wrong, somehow the wireless aspect is the broken link. As a side note, all wireless clients and wired clients are on the same subnet.
Thanks for any suggestions or help!

I had the same problem. Disable any IGMP, or IGMP proxy features on your router. As soon as I disabled IGMP proxy on my router everything came up has been working for a while. Lack of driver support on the wireless clients is likely the cause. oh well, at least its working now.

[solved] SSH doesn't work over PPTP VPN with pptpclient

I just got set up with access to my work's PPTP VPN. Using pptpclient I can establish a connection and ping servers. I can use telnet to confirm ports 22, 80 etc are accessible and I can access web services in my browser, but SSH doesn't work.
When I try and SSH to a server it just hangs for a minute and then "Connection closed by 10.70.11.10". Wondering if SSH was using my default route rather than the appropriate tunnel, I tried setting my default route to use the VPN, and ping, telnet, nmap etc still seem to function and return expected results, but SSH still hangs and closes. There are no entries in the sshd log on the servers that I attempted to get access to. I have both Arch and CentOS servers and I cannot get to either via SSH.
My colleague connected to the VPN on his mobile phone and managed to SSH to a server, so it doesn't seem that the VPN is blocking this... any ideas?
Thanks
[update]
Solved! I found that in /etc/ppp/options, un-commenting -mru fixed this for me:
# Disable MRU [Maximum Receive Unit] negotiation (use default, i.e.
# 1500).
-mru

Lexmark x4650 doesn't work over wifi

I recently bought a Lexmark x4650 wireless printer. I followed the install instructions that it came with it then updated the software, but my Mac just doesn't recognize it wirelessly, but it prints fine when connected via USB. My Linux laptop can print over the wifi no problem, so it's not the printer.

I would expect that with the Linux laptop you would have needed to create a TCP/IP network queue rather than relying on some form of network discovery. I suggest that you could use the same technique on the Mac.
When adding the printer, select the IP icon and then select LPD or HP Jetdirect for the protocol. You can then enter IP address of the printer and the respective driver in the Print Using menu.
If this new queue fails to print, open Network Utility and use the Ping function to check that the Mac can get a response from the Lexmark.

[T400] Cisco VPN client not working over wireless adapter (but works on cabled connection)

I have a very strange problem.
I need to connect to my work via the cisco vpn client (version 5.0.00.0340).
My previous laptop (T43 , windows XP) worked well through both wired / wireless connections. My desktop machine (vista) works via wired connection (it has no wireless connection).
On my new T400, the VPN client works via a wired connection but not via the wireless adapter.
On the wireless apapter, the vpn seems to connect OK, but when I try to access resources via the VPN there is little response.
I get this in the vpn log...
405 08:56:57.073 04/16/09 Sev=Warning/2 IPSEC/0xE3700003
Function CniInjectSend() failed with an error code of 0xa4510009 (IPSecDrvCB:846)
I've tried disabling the firewall (in both the T400 and the router), removed access connections, and disabling tcp v6. I've rebooted everything too.
But, nothing seems to work. I suspect the problem is on the t400 somewhere, because the old laptop used to work OK via wireless.
I've seen some google links on cisco vpn not working via wireless but nothing seems to apply to my exact situation yet.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a fix? Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

all good now, got it working.
The Deterministic network thing was not installed on the wireless adapter for some reason.
So, I installed the latest wireless driver, reinstalled the vpn and all is good now.

Verizon messages app doesn't work over wifi....

Hello, all,
Until recently, I used the verizon messages app to send/receive texts over wifi on my gs3 when I had no cellular/data reception. Now it will only send/rec when there's cell reception.
But...the app does still work over wifi onmy galaxy tab 2 7.0.
Why could this be? Did a recent app update break txt over wifi for the gs3?
Thanks!
Abe

This does NOT work on the Galaxy S3.
Airplane mode ON, Wifi ON, No network mode is available in Airplane mode. So...only wifi is available. When I try to send a text with only wifi available I get "Network not available. The message will be sent when the network is available"
BUT...On my Galaxy Tab 2 (non-verizon), This DOES work. On the tab 2 with only wifi available, I CAN send text messages using Verizon Messages.
So....again...
On Galaxy Tab 2 with only WiFi available...texting with Verizon messages DOES work.
On Galaxy S3 with only WiFi available...texting with Verizon messages DOES NOT work.
Please fix Verizon Messages to work over WiFi using Galaxy S3.
Thanks,
Abe

Officejet 4500 doesn't work over ethernet connection

My Officejet 4500 is recognized by my router but not by anything else. Tablet doesn't see it nor does the desktop. Your also supposed to be able to set it up as sort of a cloud printer...but that doesn't work either. System is Vista Home Basic 32 bit SP2.
HP= Good hardware + terrible software
Dell= Bad hardware + good support

Hi Tim,
I would like to confirm the exact model of your printer. Is this the G510h or a different model?
The list of printers and the ePrint (Cloud) support list is here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03722645&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
Is the desktop also connected Ethernet to the network? Does the printer network status page show a network IP address?
Which tablet do you have?
I was an HP employee.

Enlarge feature, combination doesn't work with wireless keyboard

Hi
When I use my wireless keyboard (I also have one with wire and numeric pad: no problems here), I can't use the feature to enlarge text and images. It works from the Safari menu and it works when in the tools bar (modified) I use the A symbol. The feature to reduce (command -) works perfectly.
I must add that the + (plus) symbol in my international keyboard is over number 1, so I tried both command 1 and command shift 1 to obtain the combination command +.
Command 1 redirects me to my first preferred bookmarked site (a fonction that is not in the menu and that doesn't interest me),
I have default keyboard shortcuts (I didn't modify anything).
I know that I can modify the shortcuts through System Preferences > Mouse and Keyboard >...
but is it normal that I can't use in the combinations the symbols that are over the numbers? Did I forget to do something? (something like the fn key in MacBooks or a preference)?
Thanks

HI boombadabum,
I understand that you are having issues with keyboard shortcuts with a custom keyboard layout.
I also understand that when you press the shortcuts that the menu blinks like it is working, but nothing actually happens.
As a work around, you may be able to map them out with this add on[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/customizable-shortcuts/]

Song-Radio doesn't work over different (Spotify Connect) devices at same time (anymore)

In current Versions of the Clients (Android, Windows, Spotify Connect Device (Yamaha CD-N301)) the Song-Radio function doesn't sync the Song-Radio List* (not the playlist!) correct over different devices. For example, if I start a Song-Radio on Android, the correct screen is shown on my Android Device, but in the Windows Client, I see only "a normal playlist" without the thump up/down buttons, but with the (in Radio-Modus not allowed) back button. In the other direction (starting Song-Radio in Windows and look it on Android) it also do not work. It's possible a bug - not only that it worked in older Versions - starting a Song-Radio on Windows with a Spotify Connect Device currently being the speaker (Android or Yamaha CD-N301) results in a "working" Radio Screen in Windows, but the current playing Song isn't that shown on the Radio Screen, but the Speaker Symbol on the Song in front is shown! (see attached screenshot)Starting the Song-Radio in Windows with Windows is the Speaker works. It looks like that it works also when it's switched to another device as speaker after the Song-Radio was started with Windows as the Speaker. Starting the Song-Radio in Android Device shows the correct Song on all devices - even with other devices as the speaker - but it's not shown as Radio on Windows. Possible it's just a problem with the Windows Client - but without more devices to test, I couldn't say, and when starting the post, I noticed it while listening to my Yamaha CD-N301. *: The Radio Screen where I'm able to see the current and last played songs and where I'm allowed to like/unlike (thumb up/down) the current song, and where I'm also only allowed to forward to the next song - not go back to the last ones, so the backward arrow is missing. Well, you possible know what screen I mean - it's that one called Radio :D

IPhone 3G - email works in wifi; doesn't work over 3G or Edge

Anyone else experienced this problem? Since the middle of this past week, my iPhone 3G cannot send or receive email from my POP account over the 3G or EDGE network. It works fine over WiFi however.
I took it to the Apple Store where they were able to reproduce the problem, but could not figure it out and promptly replaced the phone. The new phone has the same issue, which leads me to believe it must either be the network or my AT&T account.

I'm having the same exact problem. I am on my second phone now. Both phones worked originally and now it stopped working again.
Any solutions would be great.

HP Laserjet p1505n doesn't work over network with Yosemite

Ever since upgrading the machines in my house (Mac Pro, iMac, MBPretina, MBAir) to Yosemite, I have not been able to use the network attached Laserjet p1505n that used to work flawlessly under 10.9. It doesn't appear in the printer tab in System Prefs where it used to pop up. Anyone have any experience with this? The printer will install via USB just fine on the Mac Pro, MBPRetina, etc. Thanks!

To see the printer in the Default view of the Add printer window, a protocol called Bonjour is used by the printer and Mac. This protocol is having issues for some users who have upgraded to Yosemite. Until the issue is resolved you may be able to use one of the IP protocols to connect to the networked printer. To do so you will need to find the IP address being used by the printer. If the LJ-P1505n has a control panel, you may be able to generate a report showing the network settings.
Once you have the IP address you can open Printers & Scanners and click the plus button to add a printer. Then click on the IP icon and enter the IP address of the HP in the Address Field. In the Protocol field, change to HP Jetdirect-Socket and in the Queue field, leave this blank. You can then change the Name from the IP address to LJP1505n and in the Use menu, select the P1505n printer. Click the Add to complete the printer creation and then see if you can print.

Itunes Sharing not working over wireless

I have three PC's both running the latest version of ITunes.
Desktop 1 is running Windows XP and connects directly into the Action Tec Router via a wired connection.
Laptop 1 is running Windows 7 and connects to the Action Tec router via a wireless connection.
Laptop 2 is running Windows Vista and connects to the Action Tec router via a wireless connection.
All PC's can connect on the Internet. The wireless connection uses WPA/PSK. Any firewalls are disabled.
Desktop 1 can see the Library of both Laptop 1 and Laptop 2. From Desktop 1, When I click the library of laptop 1 Itunes says "laptop1 library is not responding".
Laptop 1 and Laptop 2 do not see the library of either Desktop 1 or the other Laptop.
If I move Laptop 1 from a wireless connection to a wired connection, the sharing works fine.
Anyone know why the wireless is causing Itunes sharing to not work?
Thanks, Jim
Solved!
Go to Solution.

So this morning I was playing the Windows 7 laptop and decided to delete my windows wireless profile on the laptop called home and my existing home SSID on the Verizon router. I created a new SSID called boo with no security. I connected to that SSID and Itunes sharing worked between the desktop and laptop. I then added WPA2/PSK to the boo SSID and sharing still worked. Finally I went back to my original SSID called home and WPA2/PSK, recreated the home profile and Itunes sharing worked again.
I then went to the Windows Vista Laptop and without making any changes to it, Itunes sharing worked.
So in the end it seems deleting the current SSID configuration and rebuilding it on the verizon router cured the problem (for now).

Windows File Share doesn't work over RV042 QuickVPN

I have two sites, one has an RV042 and the other an RV042G, and there is an IPSec tunnel between the two.
Windows file sharing works between these two over the tunnel.
I have a laptop with QuickVPN Client which I use to connect to either site.
If I connect to the RV042G site, file sharing works fine.
If I connect to the RV042 site, I can't get file sharing to work.
As far as I can see, both routers are set the same.
Can anyone help here?
Thanks in advance.
