Why is cupsd 192.168.1.255 so active on my mac?

Why is cupsd 192.168.1.255 so active on my mac? Using Little Snitch network monitor I see it listed a few times per minute or so - from what I have read (Googled the IP after I first noticed it)... it's apparently connected to a print search of some sort - Is this a private IP address? and again, why could or should it be activating so often? Thanks everyone!

IP address 192.168.1.255 active every 30 seconds - why?

The IP address 192.168.1.255 is active every 30 seconds - why? I use Virus Barrier and also Little Snitch to monitor network receiving and sending activity... Since I began this process I've been baffled by the fact that this particular IP address, 192.168.1.255, is so active - about every 30 seconds the Little Snitch window shows sending and receiving activity after the the line "cupsd." I assume it's harmless - but since I can't seem to determine why this is happening, I can't be 100% sure... I hoping someone familiar with this network issue can explain why this is happening. Thanks very much.

Hi there,
An IP address starting with 192.168 always is associated with a router. To have items being sent to and from it is therefore normal.
Nothing to worry about.

On Lil Snitch says scanner is 192.168.1.255

I'm on a wireless network via Airport Extreme with OSX 10.6.8 and Mac Pro OSX 10.7.5. I recently hooked up a wireless Printer, HP6700 Officejet all in one.
I noticed on Lil Snitch says scanner is 192.168.1.255 What does that mean?

The x.x.x.255 address should be reserved and not used by any devices. I don't put much trust in that program you are using. It seems to cause more problems then it finds.

Why is there now unusually high, constant disk activity on my Mac?

Firefox 9.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 is churning my HD and then must be force quit. It seems to run but there's definately something new and unusual happening here.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
You are right in that there are a lot of guides around to creating "fake" RAC clusters, however Hunter's guide appears to be one of the best and I found it while browsing around the Oracle website. Of course Oracle stress that it is entirely unsupported and for "education purposes" :)
Well education is what I'm after and I accept that it would perform nowhere near a real cluster. Still the performance issues I'm having appear abnormal.
The background to this is that one the applications I manage at work (Vmware) has a backend DB hosted on RAC. There is an entire database team who look after this area. For my own personal edification I'd like to learn a bit more about RAC (and Oracle in general) and get my hands dirty, though I currently have no long term aspirations to become a full fledged DBA. I'm working through a text on Safari and I thought it would be useful to create a "fake" as you put it cluster at home and play around a bit. Unfortunately the resources to create a "proper" environment are currently not within my means:(
With regards to my problem I was hoping someone here has played around with a similar setup and could advise whether they had similar issues. The 3 days or so I spent labouring through the 60 page guide was far more educational than just reading a text.
I've found that the excessive disk activity appears to be down to my server and Vmware ESXi rather than Oracle. I stopped all instances and CRS and the constant disk activity still continued. I had taken number of snapshots of each linux node during my installation and I'm currently deleting these to see whether this improves things. My hard disk could well be the bottleneck as ESXi is really meant for SCSI controllers and disks if using local datastores.
I'll take your advice and have a trawl through Ebay. I will also install standalone oracle on a seperate box and have a play with that.

What configures en0 with IP address 192.168.2.1 ?

Recently, I realized that (only) "en0" has two IP addresses configured, but I configured only one from System Preferences.
The output of "ifconfig en0" looks as follows:
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.2.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
inet 192.168.100.4 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 192.168.100.15
ether 00:23:32:30:6c:cc
media: autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control>) status: active

Also removing the entry with "sudo ifconfig en0 -alias" only works until the system has been restarted at which point it is mystically restored.
My computer has the following network connections:
= en0 ......... (Ethernet 1; connected to local router)
= en1 ......... (Ethernet 2; not connected)
= en2 ......... (AirPort; connected to AirPort Express base station and Internet)
= en3 ......... (Parallels shared network adapter)
= en4 ......... (Parallels host-only network adapter)
= vmnet1 ... (vmWare virtual network adapter)
= vmnet8 ... (vmWare virtual network adapter)
While both routers do provide IP addresses via DHCP for guests all my own IP addresses are manually set.
Does someone know how to remove the "192.168.2.1" entry for good?

I understand that any IP device needs a proper address to be able to be... well... addressed. Thing is that there is already an IP address ("192.168.100.4"), which would be possible to be used for this purpose. That is where I started to wonder.
Because System Preferences -> Sharing -> Internet Sharing tells the Mac to act as a router, and the 192.168.100.* subnet already has a router. They would fight. So en0 needs a new IP address in its own subnet.
Mac OS X, as shipped, does not have a WiFi to ethernet bridge mode.
You can buy a WiFi base station and configure it for bridge mode (turn off NAT and DHCP services) which will then allow you to extend the existing subnet.

Why Can I not ping 192.168.2.1

I set up a G4 Mac 10.5.8 with two ethernet connections. Both with Static addressing. I have internet sharing turned on, with en0 being shared with en1
en0 is 172.20.0.75, 255.255.255.0, Router 172.20.0.1
en1 is 192.168.2.1, 255.255.255.0, Router 172.20.0.75
a laptop using 172.20.0.1 255.255.255.0 is tied to port en0
a mini using 192.168.2.75 255.255.255.0 is tied to port en1
so the schematic looks like;
(laptop 172.20.0.1) <--> (172.20.0.75 en0 - G4 - en1 192.168.2.1) <--> (192.168.2.75 mini)
from the laptop I can ping 172.20.0.1, 172.20.0.75
from the G4 I can ping 172.20.0.1, 172.20.0.75, 192.168.2.1, 192.168.2.75
from the mini I can ping 192.168.2.75, 192.168.2.1, 172.20.0.75, 172.20.0.1
but from the laptop I cannot ping 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.2.75
Any suggestions as to why?

I'm very rusty on this ... but as I recall, ARP is local to a network - so ARP info won't be passed between your two networks. I think it would work if the laptop was told to use the G4's en0 IP address as router, and the mini was told to use the G4's en1 IP address as router. The laptop, asked to ping the mini, says "not on my network" so sends it to its router (G4 en0), which knows how to deliver it. The mini, replying, says "not on my network" so sends it to its router (G4 en1), which knows how to deliver it, so you get ping & reply.
I don't think it matters that both networks are using private address space, as they are connected by a common device, the G4.

UDP request discarded from 192.168.52.7/7765 to inside:255.255.255.255/7765

Hi Everyone.
On My Home ASA i checked the logs it has few logs of
Apr 16 2013 21:36:39: %ASA-7-710005: UDP request discarded from 192.168.52.7/7765 to inside:255.255.255.255/7765
where 192.168.52.7 is my PC IP.
Need to know why this message is showing up in ASA logs.
Thanks
MAhesh

Either way this sounds like an app not behaving correctly,
why would you want to broadcast this traffic , if you know what I mean
Try to close the applications running on your PC until you check that the traffic disappears then you will be able to determine.
In fact let's make it better ( the way we should do this is next )
Use the powerful netstat
netstat -b
netstat - ano
Then look for the process ID side each connection
Finaly go to your PC Star task manager /Services and match the PID

RV220W PPTP Start IP Address must not be in the subnet of LAN:192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0

Hello,
I start setup of new RV220W Wireless router.
I want to provide access to internal network via PPTP.
But gettting error 'PPTP Start IP Address must not be in the subnet of LAN:192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0'.

How I can enable assigning the IPs from LAN network to the PPTP Server?
Thank you!

Hi,
This is a change done explicitely starting firmware 1.0.4.17. It is not a bug. This appears to be by design. PPTP peer networks are now treated as a routed subnet. It is unlikely that this will be changed.
But nevertheless there is a workaround to configure the PPTP range in the same subnet as your LAN:
1. Configure LAN IP subnet different from what you will use, for example 192.168.2.0/24
2. Configure DHCP pool for PPTP client as needed for example 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.110
3. Go back to LAN interface and change LAN IP to desired one: 192.168.1.0/24 and pool 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.99
4. This way there will be no error on GUI
5. PPTP client will receive IP address from the same subnet as LAN interface of the RV220W

Airport now using 192.168.x.x -- Why?

I just had Brighthouse change out a cable modem that was not working, and now have a different brand. It is in Bridge mode, connected to an Airport Extreme (further connected to two Airport Expresses). Prior to the modem swap, all my wireless devices connected with an IP address of the form "10.x.x.x", however now most are using 192.168.x.x. The names of the devices (Russ' iPad, Apple TV, Emily's iPhone....) also no longer appear - just the 192.168 number, or a cryptic A4:C3:61:C4:96:1F.
How do I get my network back to the 10.x.x.x, and how can I make it tell me the names of the devices connected?

I pulled up the manual, and it is called a "Telephony Gateway."
A gateway is a device that includes a modem and separate router in one package. In your case, it also includes functions for telephone service.
poked around (changing nothing, mind you!), and saw one setting for NAT that is currently in "Routed with NAT" mode. The other options are "Routed without NAT" and "Bridged".
"Routed with NAT" mode indicates that the gateway is providing the routing services for your network, and it is is the device that is providing the 192.168 IP Addresses to devices your network.
In other words, the device that Brighthouse installed is not in Bridge Mode.
It is also possible that the AirPort is now in Bridge Mode.....since it likely detected another router "upstream" on your network.
To confirm that on the AirPort, you can check the Network / Router Mode setting of the AirPort using AirPort Utility.

I have problems with my 7510 holding a wireless network ip address 192.168 etc It says 169. etc

My HP Photosmart all in one (which is only a few months old) stopped comunicating with my Netgear DGN1000 Adsl router a few days before Xmas.
Instead of the 192.168.0.9 ip address that it used before I powered off the router, iit came back with an address of 169.254.249.128; "Configuration source" = "Auto ip"; a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0; and Default gateway of 0.0.0.0; I know these are wrong, so I tried a fixed ip address of 192.168.0.201, a SM of 255.255.255.0; and a DG of 192.168.0.1; This was OK, but overnight, it all went back to the auto ip settings.
I eventually managed to contact HP, and the guy spent 75 minutes with me trying to reset things, and eventually he reckoned that the Netgear router was not allowing the printer access via some ports (which he emailed me a list of) and something he said I needed to tell my isp (Virgin media) “FLOOD DETECTION SET TO OFF” & “SP1 FIREWALL SET TO OFF”
On contacting VM, they were insistant that their router was not at fault - they could open the 12 or so ports, at a cost to me of £60! (I declined this)
HP had told me how to set up for Ad Hoc printing (by-passing the router) which had worked during our testing.
VM had been into my settings for the router, via a remote access device, and checked a few settings, but the only one I saw them alter was changing from CH10 to CH11.
I certainly could not get the printer to accept the 192.168.1.201 after this anyway.
Following this, I reset the printers Network Defaults, and reconfigured the wireless settings. It did seem OK, and running on 192.168.0.9
I have now reset the IP address to Manual on the printer, entering the 192.168.0.9 and 255.255.255.0; and 192.168.0.1;
Touch wood it has held up for a few days, but I havn't switched anything off (but overnight before it went awry!)
I'm not convinced I have got a fix here, and would welcome any suggestions as to what I can still do.
Maybe I have already done some, as I have "completely uninstalled, and reinstalled the HP7510 software on my Desktop PC.
Incidently the printer is set up on 3 PC's in the house - a desktop running W7 HP 64 bit, a Notebook (same OS variant) and a Laptop running W7 HP, but 32 bit.
All were unable to print when I was having issues.
I would welcome any suggestions to get a more permanat fix. (I would rather have found a definite fault) I have other routers I could try, or I could open ports, but my question is - If I needed these ports open, and other settings altered (Flood detection etc) why did the printer work for the first few weeks I had it set up, and why did powering off the router cause such issues? (suppose I need to power off the router again in the future - it does happen)
Thanks
Dave

Hey Dave,
Great post with good information.
As you mentioned, the printer came back with a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx style IP address. This is normally produced when the device is not able to get a complete connection with the router, thus the router gives it a temporary internal IP address.
The normal suggestion when a printer stops maintaining a connection is to set a Static IP. This is done by using the manual IP feature you mentioned using. This locks the device to those network settings and even when the network is restarted the information is retained. This should be the fix to the issue.
Hope this helps.

SA 520W VPN problem with 192.168.1.x (WARNING: In order to ensure proper functionality, the router will ...)

I need help. I can find no documentation on this problem. I have a Microsoft Small Business Server which I have been running for some time. I have been using for the last 10 years the private IP space 192.168.1.x, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0. I have an Active Directory structure that is based on this address space with my default route for the network at 192.168.1.254. I recently purchase a CISCO SA 520W appliance. Every time I add a VPN user to the VPN User Database, I get a popup that states "WARNING: In order to ensure proper functionality, the router will need to change its IP address to 10.x.y.1 to avoid conflicts with the remote network. You will need to reboot all PCs and network devices connected to the router. If you have set static IP addresses on any device or if you are using port forwarding, you will need to update its IP address to new IP range to operation. Would you like to continue?" With a se;ection of "OK" or "Cancel". If I select "OK" the router resets and I can no longer get access to it, resulting in me setting it back to factory default and starting over.If I select "Cancel" at this point it does not add the user to the database. I have tried everything I can think of. If I use the default IP address or any other IP address space, as long as I don't use 192.168.1.x, it works fine. This seems to be some limit set by Cisco. Although I can't understand why as the IP space is a very common one in use. Is there any solution except for reconfiguring my DNS, and active directory.
Please respond understanding that I am a mid level capable network engineer, I have worked with CISCO in the past but mainly Enterprise level layer 2 and 3 switches. I am a netwok security person (CISSP) with medium network skill levels.
Thanks,
Rich K, CISSP

Wow - that's unfortunate. Hopefully you'll get something out of it for all of the wasted time.
I should have researched this more before I purchased. Silly me - thinking Cisco was the best...
I probably wasted 4-6 hours, if not more, trying to get their QuickVPN client to work. They finally blamed it on my ISP, who I spent plenty of time on the phone with as well. The funny thing that they couldn't explain though, was that it also would not work on my Spring 3G/4G data card. After this test, I wrote the whole thing off to a design flaw.
In the end, I went back and setup a M$ PPTP vpn for the time being, until I have time to figure out a better solution. I only have a couple of remote users anyhow.
Thanks for the response and good luck to you!

Can't Access Router Settings via 192.168.2.1

I have recently changed modem/routers as my connection speed was increased recently and the old modem wasn't up to the task... The previous modem/router was preconfigured and I did nothing to it, however the new one requires settings be fixed by accessing it via a browser at 192.168.2.1
When the technician came to check my line and set up the new modem, we encountered a strange situation. Despite being connected by Ethernet cable, my machine could not access the IP address reserved for the router.
The reply is: "Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://192.168.2.1/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “192.168.2.1”."
We tried Firefox and the same happened.
I have deactivated my firewall, rebooted, changed cables, restarted the router, got Safari to pretend to be Explorer, got the neighbor's dog to bark at it, everything except make a blood pact with the devil, and the two browsers on my machine think that 192.168.2.1 is an external address- which it isn't, and of course fails to connect.
The technician used his laptop to configure the thing, so I can access the internet (obviously) but I must find out why I can't access the router/modem's settings, if only to find some logical reason for this illogical behavior.
I've tried looking this issue up, and I get lots of bad wiring, wireless connection, windows proprietary shenanigans, but none that explain my situation.
I'd appreciate it if someone could help me make sense of this.
My setup:
Computer Model Name: Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
Model Identifier: PowerMac3,1
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Processor Speed: 1.35 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB
Memory: 832 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.8f1
Sales Order Number: M7827LL/A
Router: "2-Wire Gateway"

Your advice did the job quite nicely and it seems this is the "natural way of things," but I was totally unaware of it since my previous modems were preconfigured and I never had to muck about with subnets and such things.
What irks me is that this is basic, bare bones information that the Tech support people should have given me right off the bat. Why do they assume I have all the right numbers input into the Ethernet or PPPoE settings? They seemed totally perplexed that I couldn't connect, and frankly so was I- since my old Mac, as decrepit as it is, is still able to kick it with the modern way of things better than most computers I work with.
If they had asked me if I had set the right IP's in the right slots, it could have been fixed in 2 minutes.
Thank you very much for solving my problem, it saves me a lot of stress and confusion.

please help!

I am pretty sure it doesn't work with Firefox.
I have been getting the same problem as you with Internet Explorer. "The adress is valid but will not connect" kind of error.
Having to reboot the whole router (messing 2-3 other connections) to adjust some settings is quite frustrating, I know.
Let me know if you find what causes this and how to solve it

Web page slow on 192.168.x.x network

I don't think this is a Cisco problem. When I try to access our school homepage from a 192.168.x.x network it is very slow to load. When I access the page from a 172.20.X.X network or registered subnet it works fine. It also works from the Internet. I've also tried several differant 192.168.x.x networks with the same slow page loading problem. I even tried a vlan with a 192.169.x.x network the page loaded fine. I even tried a 192.168.x.x network on the same vlan as the server. All other traffic from the 192.168.x.x network is fine. Any ideas why the page loads slow from a 192.168.x.x net??

Hi!
Can u send us ur network diagram? It will helpful to give suggestions...
Im not sure but maybe there is a routing problem... Please check traceroute from 192.168.x.x and from 172.16.x.x
Regards
Ahmet
