Where Do I Enter DNS Numbers?

I have an imac and Macbook Pro that both connect wirelessly through a snow base-station connected by ethernet cable to a dsl modem. This set up normally works perfectly but occasionally I will experience some slow connection issues which I believe are usually related to the isp's network. So sometimes just to experiment I will try to manually enter dns server numbers into my settings. The base station is configured by dhcp to distribute ip and share single ip address using dhcp and Nat. Normally I leave those dns fields in the airport admin. utility blank and I suppose those are provided by the modem/isp.
I've been told to try manually entering dns server numbers if I'm having connection issues-but where do I put those in? Do I use the fields on the base station utility or do I use the network setting in system preferences on the macs themselves? I never have been clear on where exactly to enter those.
Thanks,
John

Do I use the fields on the base station utility or do I use the network setting in system preferences on the macs themselves?
Either place. If you put enter them into AirPort Admin Utility they will be pushed out to all clients of the base station. If you put them into System Preferences, they will only affect that one Mac.

Remote... where do I enter the passcode?

I've upgraded my iPod Touch to 2.0 and installed the Remote app. I've connected it, and it's appearing under My Devices, but I have absolutely no idea where to input the passcode. Is it under the applications tab? Is an entry field supposed to pop up? I'm getting nothing!

Would it make any difference that my MacBook Pro has a fixed IP number but my iPhone gets a dynamically assigned IP#? They should both be on the same subnet, and of course the iPhone is directly connected to the MBP. But the IP#, DNS and Router numbers in the iPhone's path iPhone/Settings/Choose a Network/myLAN/Wi-Fi Networks/ are not in my subnet. Everything works fine though, no problem getting email or anything else via WiFi.
I tried changing the iPhone to "Static" and entering our proper router and DNS numbers but it didn't make any difference.
There is simply no way to get iTunes to display the icon that opens the panel where you can enter a passcode.
Is there a workaround for this, some User/Library/Preferences/whatever file that we can hand edit to enter a pass code? Some way to connect and enter a passcode via the Terminal? Some alternative methods?

Is there a Terminal command that will pick up DNS numbers?

Hello all,
Is there a Terminal command that will pick up the DNS numbers utilized by a router?
The router options don't show any, though the router is set to use PPPoA to pick them up.
I kindly TIA,
Eme '~[ )♥♪

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
What do you mean by "pick up"?
I mean to show what the DNS numbers are that the router is using.
They are not entered in the DNS server field in Networks, TCP/IP tab.
If you mean refresh the client settings, the DNS settings are obtained as part of the DHCP lease (or PPP connection in the case of PPP).
The user/ OP is actually using PPPoA, when i googled PPPoA.. seems he is using Cisco perhaps.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-PointProtocol_overATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
"PPPOA or PPPoA, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM, is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in ATM AAL5. It is used mainly with cable modem, DSL and ADSL services.
It offers standard PPP features such as authentication, encryption, and compression. If it is used as the connection encapsulation method on an ATM based network it can reduce overhead slightly (around 0.58%) in comparison to PPPoE".
Essentially the original poster removed the OpenDNS #s from his DNS server field in the TCP/IP tab (b/c they seem to make Adobe.com inaccessible to him)
removing them & allowing his router to "pick them up from the ISP" seems to solved his problem.
However he can not, find what the numbers are that are being utilized,
b/c they are not entered as usual in the Network, & part of the DHCP lease,
or in Airport admin Utility.
I/ we wondered, if there was a Terminal command that will show what the
numbers are that are being used .
Does that help clarify what I mean? Sorry to be so long winded.

How do i return calendar to original view?   All I can see is an hour by hour grid...can't get back to page where I can enter new appointments/events

How do I return calendar to original view?   All I can see is an hour by hour grid...can't get back to page where I can enter new appointments/events

     Hi, at the bottom bar you should see a series of five buttons. Press the "Month" button if you desire to see the view of the month. As for creating a new calendar event simply press the "+" button in the upper right-hand corner to create a new appointment. *
* Please note that this is all within the app called "Calendar".

Where do I enter PPP user name and PPP password?

Where do I enter PPP User Name and PPP Password when installing a new modem? I followed directions for installation but a dialog box asking for those items didn't come up.
I reset the Wi-Fi on the System Preference > Network Pane after turning off all my wireless devices, MBP, iPad, iPhone, Canon MG5320 printer/scanner, and HP LaserJet Professional P2606N (this printer is connected via ethernet to AirPort Extreme).
I did this because of the following message:
Another device on the network is using your computer’s IP address (192.168.0.1)
Following directions I unplugged the PK5001Z Modem, plugged it back on, and then turned on each wireless device, one at a time so that unique IP addresses would be created for each one. This worked, but now I'm trying to get our Smart HD Samsung TV to connect to the internet.
Setting up the IP Internet settings, we are using the Network Name and entering its IP address manually and also having the setup find the IP address automatically. It connected to the modem but couldn't complete the connection to the internet.. Also use a Guest Network, but that didn't work either.
Is the PPP User Name and PPP Password still necessary? It was given to me by our service provider and was original in 2012.
Bonnie

I found the Modem GUI Logo setup on the web for my modem using the address of my IP address with http://xxxxxxxxx.
Everything looks good.
The internet connection with the TV is still a problem.

Screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh

Many people in the company are experiencing the odd screen refresh problem where data is entered and the screen doesn't refresh to show the updated result in corresponding cell formulas.
Microsoft have issued a hotfix to fix the issue for Excel 2003 as shown. Microsoft released a hotfix for this problem (<a href="advisory?ID=978908">KB978908</a>). Display memory tends to pick up data from hidden sheets and pastes it
into the active screen. No impact on the file. This occurs when protecting and unprotecting worksheets in VBA. I also suspect that enabling and disabling screen refresh contributes to this problem. In any case there is a fix, albeit with the following disclaimer:
As of yet I have not been able to find a fix for this for office 2010 and 2013, Any suggestions would be great.

Hi,
Based on your description, Excel does not show the text strings when you typing. It may be caused by the cell format, if we set the cell format as ";;;" in custom format, it will not display the text that you typed.
And the issue may be caused by the third-party input method, there are some compatibility issue between them.
If the issue still exits, please try the following methods
Verify/install the latest updates
Repair your Office program

Not sure what you purchased but it wasn't a serial number. FCPX has no serial number. You simple download it from the App Store using your Apple ID.

JAVA CODE Restricting users from entering Fractional numbers in Data forms

Hi,
is there anyone who can help me with the Java Script code of ValidateData.js file?? I am very novice in scripting and find it very difficult to write a proper javascript code to restrict the users from entering fractional numbers to HEADCOUNT cell. I would very much appreciate if i get some help from anyone out there.
Users should be able to only enter whole numbers to the cells for Headcount entry.
Kindly give me the layout of the script to be used. Has anyone out there ever done anything like this??
Looking forward for a help.
Thanks.

Hi,
I think customCellEnterPre and customCellValidatePre is the function you'd be using

Where do I enter a user code for a shared office printer?

Hello All,
At work we have a shared printer and everyone has separate user codes so we can identify who prints what. In previous versions of Windows, there is a "Valid Access Tab" which leads one to a place where one can enter a Valid Access code, or
a user code, or a PIN, or whatever you want to call it.
I can not find a place to enter this number in Windows 8. Please help.

I can not find a place to enter this number in Windows 8.
On which version of W8? Others have noticed that some functionality related to printing is only available in W8 Pro. However, so far as I am aware nobody has bothered checking if that is only affecting the availability of GUI support or all support
for such functions. For example, I showed one poster that it may be that WMIC could be used to provide an alternative to GUI display and left it as a TBD whether that idea could be extended to control via WMIC as well.

and that reminds me that there is even simpler access via Powershell. So who knows, maybe simpler control too? ; )
Good luck

How Can I Avoid Continually Entering Serial Numbers

I purchased a new iMac to replace my older iMac. Aperture works only if I re-enter serial numbers each time I open Aperture. How can I avoid continually entering the serial numbers. It is annoying that my Mac won't remember my labour.

You cannot "access it" at all using a serial number.
Please explain what you are attempting.

Deleted my DNS numbers.. How do I restore?

While attempting to add Open DNS numbers, which I must have done wrong, my original DNS numbers disappeared. Can't get online at all. How do restore?

*Hi sallyjay, Welcome* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
In *Network Preferences* you can have several locations. I have one I labeled *Open DNS* and one I labeled Verizon and several for Earthlink.
Good Luck, JP

DNS Numbers

Which DNS numbers should i be using, 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2 or 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

The first pair of servers you list belong to Verizon's DNS; the latter two are OpenDNS. Your question is not black and white; usually, you'll use your ISP's DNS, but you may get more reliable/faster results with other values. I use OpenDNS at several of my clients and have had good results with it.
