Wrong device name during network midi

Hi,
When trying to connect 2 network midi apps (eg, Nlog, & Midi Designer Pro) over wifi between 2 iPads, the name of the iPads are wrong, ie they're not the same as in Settings. I've tried changing them in Settings, General, About, & even tried changing them on my computer with iTunes - but still the names don't get updated & are wrong..
Thanks for reading, & all the best <3

Same here. Network Magic thinks my AppleTV is a Windows server.

Wrong user name in network printer

A network printer keeps asking me for authorization because the wrong user name is listed. Where can I erase or change the default username/password for this printer? I can't find it anywhere.

A number of office copier/printers offer a job accounting facility for controlling usage to the printer, especially if it offers colour printing. To work with this facility, the driver should have a section where you can enter the appropriate details.
We have Canon MFD's and we use the job accounting feature in these copiers for printing and copying (so that we can charge clients). With the Canon drivers (PS and UFR2) there is a menu item called Special Features. Here there is a tab that lets you enter the id/pwd when you print.
Depending on your brand/model, you may find a similar setting. Note that you will have to use the vendor's driver. Generic drivers or the Gutenprint drivers included with Leopard do not provide such as facility.

#DEVICENAME# in URL button sends wrong device name

Hi All,
I'm trying to set up a service URL button that will allow users to logout of extension mobility without having to go into the Services button.
I setup the following Phone Logout service:
http://<IP Address>/emapp/EMAppServlet?doLogout=true&device=#DEVICENAME#
If I access this from the services button, it works, but if I hit the URL line key it fails.
I did an Ethereal trace, and found out it is sending the wrong device ID when it fails.
bad logout url: SEP00016CEADFF0
good logout url:SEP0013CED06212 (correct device name)
Any ideas what might cause this? This is CCM 4.1(3)sr3b
Thanks, Randy

Check the registry entry of the Cisco CallManager Extension Mobility:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cisco SystemsInc.\DirectoryConfiguration\AppUsers\CCMSysUser.
Make sure that an entry for "Password" exists and that the "UserID" is "CCMSysUser"
If everything is set up correctly, perform a Stop and restart of Internet Information Service (IIS).

E1000 device name in Network Infrastructure

Hi all,
I installed the E1000 router that AT&T provides with U-verse DSL. All works fine except that the device name that appears under "Network Infrastructure" in Windows 7 shows the original default name that Cisco assigned instead of the name I chose. It does not affect operation or performance but looks oddball. I don't see how it can be changed. Does anyone know?
Thanks,

For the E4200, on the Basic Setup page, there's an entry called "Device Name" that I changed from Cisco07933 to E4200. So that's what I see when I look at "Network" on my Windows 7 system. You might have the same or similar setting for your E1000.

How to display the device name during file sending with Bluetooth

I get this Message:

Do you want to receive a file from 00:13:70:69:95:84?
My Question is how can it display the device name not the device address?

The same situation when I want to send photo from mobile phone to my notebook. I didnt find any option how to change it.
When I send photo from notebook to the mobile phone the notebook name (device name) is displayed. Try to check external device properties. Maybe you will find there way to change it.

Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.

I posted in : http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/disconnected-network-drive-error-as-follows-an/9a877c38-5e86-4c34-84c2-427a965577c6?page=2
Error:
"An error occurred while reconnecting drive letter to \\network server\share folder.
Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.
This connection has not been restored."
1) A workstation is running Windows 7
2) The user has a drive letter mapped to a UNC
3) The connection is interrupted at some point and then restored
4) Upon attempting to access the mapped network drive, the user gets the error about the letter being
already in use.
Extremely disappointed that some of the posts marked as answers were obviously not, shows how poor the moderators here are.
My latest results clearly point to a Windows 7 client problem:
I received the error.
Had run nslookup so had a prompt open.
ran dir z:    worked. went to Windows Explorer, same error.
ran dir z:\sharename    worked. went to Windows Explorer, same error.
copy con z: test.txt then type test.txt; could create and retrieve file. Went and clicked on mapped drive in Windows explorer and received same error.
Obviously(?) not a Server or Networking problem. Ran Malwarebytes from bootable CD (client doesn't believe in AV). Didn't happen with USB flash drive.
Any other ideas?

This is usually because the drive letter assigned to the network share is taken by something else. Maybe, by a removable drive.
Moderators and other answerers do their best to help specific cases, but everyone has their own situation. Apply common sense to the replies you find in the forums.
When you typed dir z: - is Z: the drive letter you wanted for this share, or it was automatically assigned?
-- pa
Alternatively you could try using common sense when you post, as well as taking the time to read the entire issue post so that you can avoid showing both your ignorance and arrogance (arrogance without any competency to back it I might add).
Suggesting that it might be "another drive" that took over the mapping shows your lack of reading comprehension and is unhelpful.   Please take the time to, once again, read first.
Lastly moderators here generally show little technical skill beyond entering search words into a knowledge-base of articles and then applying the results incorrectly further exacerbating the situation for the customer.

Associating my CompactRIO to a computer/device name on the network

Hello,
I have a network connecting a router, several computers and a CompactRIO, configured to use DHCP. Therefore the CompactRIO IP address may change. On the computers I will be using a program that I didn't write, that communicates with the CompactRIO (I wrote the CompactRIO side of the code myself). The program can find the CompactRIO either using an IP address, or a computer name, because it's been designed to work from computer to computer. Unfortunately, since I'm using DHCP I cannot set it to use a fixed address.
Therefore, I would like to install a driver, or run a piece of software, or configure my CompactRIO such that it appears as a computer or device wih a name on the network. A name visible in "Network Places" under Windows for instance.
I should mention that installing a DNS server might work, but is really a last resort option for me.
Any suggestion?

Hello Proengin,
First of all don't hesitate next time to post your message on Real-Time Measurement and Control . It will be maybe easier to get an answer.
However, as I understand you're obtaining your cRIO IP address from a DHCP server automatically. Therefore, it's normal that the address isn't fixed. Indeed, each time you'll boot your target, the server will alllocate an IP adress that might be different than the adress previously assigned.
Concerning the second part, you won't be able to make your cRIO appearing as a computer or a device on the network because it's a real-time target and not a Windows device for example.
With real-time targets such as cRIO (or sbRIO, PXI RT,...) you'll be able to check them in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) from "Remote systems" tab.
Hope this information will help !

Able to ping an IP address on my home network, but the device name fails

Hey there, it is possible this was answered previously, though I'm having difficulty finding the data.
What is happening is I am trying to get my MacBook to work where it can use my network device names instead of using the actual IP address (ie: MAINPC or PRINTER instead of 192.168.0.3). My PCs are having no issues resolving the names at this point, it is just the Mac. I'd like to be able to use the names as I prefer to use dynamic IP addressing on a lease of 24 hours, and it is just nicer to deal with mentally. The Mac can see the other machines in finder as well, so it looks like file sharing is set up correctly (The PCs can see the Mac as well using SMB).
The error message I am receiving is when I "ping MAINPC":
cannot resolve MAINPC: Unknown host
(The same happens with the printer)
I will try to find out how to create static IPs on my local network if that is what it takes, just wondering if anyone else has run in to this issue, and resolved it.
Ultimately I am trying to set up access to my PC's perforce server, and knowing the address is crucial (I'll attack the firewall issues once this is resolved). Any help is greatly appreciated as I'm fairly new to the Mac experience.

Likely just an issue with the router you have. I have an ActionTec Q1000 rented from ISP - it does the same thing. Static IPAs versus dynamic ones won't help you.
Prior to its untimely death, a 2-Wire 2701HG-D router, also rented from the ISP before they replaced it with the Q1000, was robust enough to be able to resolve LAN hostnames to LAN IPAs. But no more.... Manually associating the hostname to the IPA in the Q1000's config pages does nothing.
So I bet you are just seeing the same lack of robustness in your router.
If worried about DHCP changing the IPA of a device, setting up a range of static and a range of dynamic IPAs in the router will help. The router should have a section in its config pages to "enable DHCP." In there, there is likely a place where you can define a range of DHCP addresses. Anything outside that range but within the subnet mask would be available for static assignment. For example, suppose your subnet is 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0). IF you declare your DHCP pool to be 192.168.0.128-192.168.0.254, then 192.168.0.2-192.168.0.127 will be available for static IPA assignment (I am assuming the router has assigned 192.168.0.1 to itself).
With the Macs, then, as you probably know, this is set in  > Sys Prefs > Network > {interface} Advanced > TCP/IP. I usually choose configure "using DHCP with manual address." That saves me having to enter subnet mask and router IPA. But you could just as easily use "manually." Printers and other devices, you'd have to refer to their user guides.

E4200 netbios name (aka device name) appears on network, how can i hide it?

I understand that the media and ftp server functionality uses/needs some sort of name to broadcast
But what purpose does having the router broadcast its device name on the network?
I would imagine it might be for the printer service
In any case I am not using any of those services,
and I am unble to hide the routers from the network
I would prefer them to not show up in a browse list
The funny thing is, I some how managed to hide them,
not sure how, but after a reboot it reverted back to broadcasting the device name on the network
If I am not using any of the routers services for media, ftp, printing
how can I stop it from showing up on the network?

As time passes, we get see more examples of how Cisco / Linksys is repeatedly forcing things upon us
There are many great examples
one of which I have pointed out in this thread with the device name appearing on the local network
another is how they force the log light upon its uses
http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/E4200-Front-Cisco-Status-LED/m-p/459489#M214227
yet another if with a previous router I owned the wrt610n
for a long time they forced three useless devices to appear on the local network
of which thankfully a hidden config page was finally found to turn them off
EGHN Qos Policy Holder Device
EGHN Qos Manager Device
EGHN QosDevice
http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/EGHN-QOS-Devices/m-p/397879/message-uid/397879/hi...
In the name of choice and "security"
Please for sanity sake
Give us the ability to stop the routers from appearing in the master browse list and broadcasting on the local lan!

"My first copy of Logic came on Floppy disks"
And you will need to setup bank change commands for your particular instrument, if it does in fact have several banks of internal patches. Logic comes with a selection of bank change commands, one of them will almost always work.
My first copy of Logic came on floppies, two of them I think and was MIDI only, moved up to Logic_Audio at version 3.0 I think.

Help! Why does my HP 1536dnf Printer appear in my network with a strange device name?

I own a HP Laserjet 1536dnf All-in-One Printer.
I notice that with the default settings, my printer is appearing in my network under the device name that seems to be some randomly generated name like NPICG042G that makes no sense to me.
I know that I can change the name in the device page, but I like to know how did this name come about in the first place??
When I reset the printer and redo the setup, the SAME device name appears as if this is some fixed preset.
Can someone explain this to me?
Also, if I change the name, do I need to reinstall all the drivers for each computer on the network OR change the name of the printer MANUALLY to the new name on each computer on the network?
Please help.

Getting "There are no speakers connected to the AirPlay device " device-name "

For the past several years, I have had a stereo receiver hooked up to and airport express to stream music wirelessly from my iMac to stereo speakers. All of a sudden, I started getting the message "There are no speakers connected to the AirPlay device "<device-name>". So, what changed, we recently changed ISP from Verizon DSL to RCN cable, I changed my Apple ID (due to the ISP change), I upgraded all computers to OS X Lion, and I have a new iPhone5. I can't tell you exactly when during the process things went bad, but I can tell you what I have done to solve the problem:
I checked that my devices are configured correctly. The network layout is as follows: I have an Airport Express on the 3rd floor of my house, along with the iMac containing the iTunes library, I have an Airport Express on the 2nd floor acting as a repeater, I have an Airport Express on the 1st floor acting as a repeater and connected to my stereo receiver and 4 speakers. I control which set of speakers is "on" via the receiver.
I checked that I can get sound out of the speakers via the receiver by selecting FM and got radio to play, so I believe the receiver is ok.
I swapped this receiver with another receiver and got no sound and still the message "there are no speakers connected..."
I moved the Airport Express from the AUX port to the TAPE2 port to check the port. Still no sound.
I checked the cable with a Bose box and got sound, so I believe the cable is ok.
I plugged a headset directly into the Airport Express and got no sound.
I swapped the 2nd floor and 1st floor Airport Express units, reconfigured the new 1st floor unit to turn on Air Play and still get no sound and the error message.
I am controlling the music using the Remote app on my iPhone. I have configured the new device to use this library.
I am tired, confused and at a loss. What can be going on here?

All that I can suggest is that you perform a Factory Default Reset on the Express to wipe the current settings and set it up again.
If you are still having problems after that, you need to take the Express to an Apple Store or Apple Servicer near you to let them have a look at what I suspect is a defective AirPort Express.

Linking PCI device names and drivers

Hi Everyone,
I have a PCI device with a class code of "ethernet" so the name
created in the device tree is eg:
"/pci@1f,0/pci@1/ethernet@3"
I can run add_drv and attach my driver to this just fine.
But what if I had another PCI ethernet card from a different
vendor but still with a class code of "ethernet"? How would I
get one driver associated with one device and a second driver
the other? I've run add_drv with -i 'pciXXXX,X' but the
name in the device tree is still "ethernet" and therefore this
is what shows up in /etc/path_to_inst?
My attach routine will check the vendor id and device id of
the device and will fail the attach call for the "wrong"
device. If I then add_drv the second driver for the second
card, I see entries in /etc/path_to_inst with two drivers for each
"ethernet" device. Will this cause problems in the long run?
Thanks!
Janice

Hi
First of all the IEEE 1275 PCI Bus Binding ( which can be found at
http://playground.sun.com) clearly states that "ethernet" is one
of the "Generic Names" listed in this manual. See portion of this
document below.
a) In collections of OS drivers, avoid the use of generic names for
the drivers themselves. For example, it is generally unwise to name a
driver ethernet, since there are many different ethernet adapters with
different programming models. Using the generic name ethernet to
identify only one such driver is presumptuous.
You may go through one of these dicsussions to get more info on setting
the "compatible property" through the driver.conf file.
You may already be familiar with most of it,but it clarifies how
a Sun system differentiates between the onboard hme card and the
add on SunSwift card. Although they both use the same driver, you
can create different driver.conf files when the drivers are different
and use the compatible property field to identify the proper driver.
To Configure Driver Parameters With PCI-bus Based Systems
1.Obtain the hardware path name for the device in the device tree.
Typically this path name and the associated instance number will be
present in the /etc/path_to_inst file. For example, on a Sun Ultra 30
UPA/PCI system in which one SunSwift-PCI card is plugged in, the
/etc/path_to_inst file will have the following two entries (in
addition to entries for other devices):
"/pci@1f,4000/network@1,1" 0 "hme"
"/pci@1f,4000/pci@4/SUNW,hme@0,1" 1 "hme"
The first entry corresponds to the hme device on the motherboard.
The second entry corresponds to the hme device on the SunSwift-PCI
card.
In the previous lines:
The first part within the double quotes specifies the hardware node
name in the device tree.
The second number is the instance number.
The last part in double quotes is the driver name.
In the device path name, the last component after the last / character
and before the @ character is the device name.
The path name before the last component is the parent name.
The comma-separated numbers after the @ character at the end
represent the device and function numbers, which are together referred
to as unit-address.
To identify a PCI device unambiguously in the hme.conf file, use the
name, parent name, and the unit-address for the device. Refer to the
pci(4) man page for more information about the PCI device specs.
In the first line of the previous example:
Name = network
Parent = /pci@1f,4000
Unit-address = 1,1
In the second line in the previous example:
Name = SUNW,hme
Parent = /pci@1f,4000/pci@4
Unit-address = 0,1
2.Set the ipg1 and ipg2 parameters for the above two devices in the
/kernel/drv/hme.conf file:
name = "SUNW,hme" parent = "/pci@1f,4000" unit-address = "1,1" ipg1=10
ipg2=5;
name = "SUNW,hme" parent = "/pci@1f,4000/pci@4" unit-address = "0,1"
ipg1=20 ipg2=10;
Note that for the motherboard device, the SUNW,hme device is used even
though the path name uses the name network. The SUNW,hme device name
is the value of the compatible property for this device.

Wrong Device Type Selected

This is a partial fix when a wrong device type is selected in the network map, either by you or Network Magic. The first step here was NOT done by me, but by "mbroadfo". He did an excellent job on figuring this out. There is a quicker and easier way however, once you do mbroadfo's work. This was his post under "Network Map Issuses Solved!:
09-22-201010:02 AM
I have been trying to figure out how to resolve a couple of issue with the Network Map in Cisco Network Magic (I have version 5.5.9195.0). The problem is that the device names and types I established initially don't get updated correctly in the map when my DHCP server assigns a new IP address. Network Magic does not seem to recognize the device by the MAC address and seems to put too much stock in the IP address (which is strange as DHCP is prevalent on most networks).
In order to re-initialize the network map, perform the following steps on ALL PC's running Network Magic:
1) Do not de-install Network Magic (it's not necessary unless you want more work)
2) Run: serveme.exe from "C:\Program Files\Pure Networks\Network Magic\Support\" (or wherever you installed Cisco Magic) - I created a shortcut so I can do this in the future without hunting around
3) Find the System Tray icon for serveme (it's a green dot surrounded by a white box)
4) Right click on the serveme icon and select:
- Stop NmService (the first item)
- Delete NetworkLib.xml
5) Repeat on ALL PC's running Network Magic
Once you have finished on ALL PC's, perform the following on each PC with Network Magic installed:
1) Right click on the serveme icon in the System Tray and select:
- Start NmService (the first item)
- Force First Run (the eleventh item)
- Exit ServeMe
2) Double-Click on Network Magic icon on the System Tray
3) Click the Link to restart the Network Magic Platform
4) Go through the initial startup steps per the instructions in the User Guide
5) Repeat on ALL PC's running Network Magic
Hope this helps!
Foot
The one problem that I kept having, was on one laptop in particular. Once I got all other PC’s correct, this one followed in suit. (I guess I should mention briefly, there are always at a minimum, 5 laptops, 2 desktops, 2 network drives, 3 network cameras, 1 network printer and 3 game consoles listed on the network map. More if friends come over.) You can see my dilemma if one of my device types change. One step left out by mbroadfo, if you have multiple computers with Network Magic on them, only have ONE connected to the network with a complete map at a time. If anything changes to the device type, all of the computers will change their device type and you will have to start all over again.
1. Leave all of your network devices turned on. Follow the steps above to disable Network Magic.
2. On one computer, follow the steps above to get Network Magic running again. Once you have a full map of all of your correct devices displayed, proceed to step 3.
3. Go to the following folder: C:\Users\All Users\Pure Networks\Platform
4. Copy this file: networklib.xml
5. SAVE THIS FILE somewhere in a folder where you know where it is. You could rename the copy to something like network.xml.temp
6. Go to the next computer, leaving the first PC running all the time on the network, and start Network Magic. Network Magic's network map should populate with the first PC's map. If anything changes, you can restore the xml file on the first PC. I'll explain this step later. Once the map is populated correctly, do the same thing on copying the "networklib.xml" file on the second PC, disconnect the second PC from the network or shut it down so its map cannot change. DO NOT copy the "networklib.xml" from the any PC to another thinking it is a short cut. Each "networklib.xml" file is specific to that PC. Move to the next PC and perform step 6 again until all PC's running Network Magic are done.
7. Once all PC's are done, they can all be brought back online and life should be great.
Now for the easier part. From this point on, if the map ever changes, simply exit Network Magic, open Task Manager and stop the nmsrvc, go to C:\Users\All Users\Pure Networks\Platform and delete "networklib.xml", copy your saved version of that file back to this folder and restart Network Magic. I know that the initial setup takes a while, but it is easier in the end if anything changes. I use the map and shares to access my cameras and network drives and if one of those changes to any type of computer, you cannot change the device type back. The software needs to have the same type of selection for all device types as when the "Network Device" in the drop down's is selected. I have just spent hours trying to get all of my devices set back to normal. I hope this will help some of you from repeated frustration when something changes.

Since I wrote the previous fix, I have had some other issues which forced me to correct several times, the Network Magic map. This was for the most part, letting other people have access to change the map. I have since put passwords in place to stop that. I have come up with a shorter way to do the fix that I suggested and found a possible flaw in the previous fix. I don’t know why or where this comes from, but on all of the computers that I have, NM has two different names for the process that runs. Two computers can both be 64 bit hardware and 64 bit OS and still have different process names. The following is what I am using now and works fine for me, but from what I am seeing no matter what software package, whether game or tool, each computer is so unique, the same problem may be on computers with two completely different fixes. Anyway, the following steps are what I am using now and works great on my systems. Hope maybe these steps will work on yours:
1.       Goto each computer and do the following steps in order. Right click on the Network Magic icon in the notification area of the task bar and exit Network Magic. Next, open Task Manager and click on the Processes tab. This is where NM uses two different names that I have seen: nmsrvc.exe or nmctxth.exe . Which ever process is running, end the process. Next, click on the Services tab. Scroll down until you find nmservice. Right click on nmservice and select Stop Service. Wait to make sure the Status column changes from Running to Stopped. It may take a few moments. If it does not stop or a message appears saying that the service cannot be stopped, click on the Services button at the bottom right corner. Scroll down on the Services window until you find Pure Networks Platform Service. Right click on the this and click on Stop. Again, wait until the status column changes from Started to Stopped. I have tried to just stop the service, but all of the steps above have to be done in order for this to work. This service is what communicates between this computer on all others running NM and tells them what is in the map. Leave this window open and proceed to step 2.
2.       Go to C:\Users\All Users\Pure Networks\Platform folder. Delete the file networklib.xml on all computers.
3.       Once step two is done, go back to the Services window and right click on Pure Networks Platform Service and click on Start. When the Status column changes back from Stopped to Started, click on your Network Magic icon to restart the program on one computer only. Watch to map to make sure it populates correctly. If not, you can simply delete the networklib.xml file at this point without having to stop the service again. The map should start over again from scratch. (John.h2h, see at the bottom of this for a possible area to look at for your issue.) Once the map is correct, goto the next computer and do step 3 again. If the map is correct, disconnect the second computer from the network and proceed on to the next computer. If it changes, you only have two computers maps affected and it is simpler to correct at this point. Once all computers have correct maps, bring all online and all should be great.
4.       As I stated in the previous fix, make a copy of the networklib.xml file on at least on computer and use that one as your map base. If the map should go awry, you can replace the file after all of the other computers NM services have been stopped and the networklib.xml file has been deleted.
This looks more complicated than it is and I hope this helps.
John.h2h, two things that you may want to look at, I use a Brother laser printer for a network printer. The port address changed for whatever reason on my system. I had to open the printer properties on each computer and change the IP address to the correct one and the printer worked fine. Another place to look, and if this is the problem, Network Magic is only following rules. Do you have any DHCP address reserved in your router. I have assigned blockes of IP’s to the different types of hardware. Example, all desktops are assigned from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.109, laptops are from 110 to 129, cameras, network drives and printer are from 130 to 145, and game consoles are from 146 to 149. I know that Netgear has the ability to set these. If you do have it reserved, either delete this in your router or change it. If you reserve the address with the IP and Mac address that you want, make sure that your computer is set to obtain IP address automatically.
Good luck, denpag

RE: iPhone 5 is showing wrong carrier name

My iPhone 5 is showing wrong carrier name (near signal bars and also in the settings) even after turning off multiple times and even after changing carrier settings from automatic to manual and Vice Versa. My device is on iOS 7.0.4. I've tried replacing the simcard but still it is showing wrong carrier name. My service provider told me that I'm using the correct signals. I've purchased this device whilst I was in the UK with Vodafone as the carrier but the device has been unlocked to network. I've now moved to India and I'm using AIRTEL but the carrier name is displayed as VODAFONE IN.

I've moved from Hyderabad to Bangalore and my phone started to show the correct carrier name, as soon as I entered to Karnataka cirlce from A.P. circle(I was on roaming). I think it's Airtel that relays the name as such in Hyd(A.P.) and it's nothing to do with the device. So, my problem is solved.
Hope this helps.
