WRT120N problem setting Static IP

My provider gives me static IP
IP 172.17.158.183
MASK 255.255.252.0
GW 172.17.156.255
There is a problem setting gateway 172.17.156.255 in WRT120N. It says that it's wrong gateway.
On my notebook Network settings work, but how can I setup WRT120N to work with this network settings?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You are not right.
Using search I found solution fo my problem.
http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Bug-report-CIDR/m-p/311698/highlight/true#M163772
And it's work fine now.
There is a bug in scripts that check gateway, mask and IP.

Problems setting up static routing

HI
I'm having a problem setting up static routing. I keep getting the message "invalid static route". I have an E1550 router and my frimware is up to date. I have tried a few different gateway addresses ie 192.168.1.1, 127.0.0.1 and my router's address on the net, but I keep getting the same message. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to fix it?

I think the E1550 router supports LAN to LAN routing provided that you have two local networks. If you only have a plain modem and the E1550, I believe you can't do Static routing on that type of setup.

Problems setting up username & password for SQL

Due to the outstanding advice I recieved from this excellent forum, I have managed to overcome my first problem with declaring a new Class.

This code generates two errors, stating:

username, "" + password);
^
DBQuery1.java:14: non-static variable password cannot be referenced from a static context
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(data, "" +
username, "" + password);
                ^
2 errors*****************************
The code works when I remove the reference to the variables "username" & "password" in Connection "conn" call & replace them with the actual username & password, but this is not exactly what I was after. I was hoping to make the program responsive to each individual user, not set in code.
I also would like to make the program pause after the call in "main" to "PassDB" to wait for "PassDB" to exit before continuing.
I would also like to make "PassDB" destroy itself after the "OK" button is pressed & the "username" & "password" set.
If that isn't enough for you, I would really like the program to search 2 different database tables, return their values & compare them to be sure that they are the same.
When I try & search 2 different tables, as in:
ResultSet rec = st.executeQuery(
                    "SELECT Title, ContactID, First, Last, Dear FROM Contacts "
                    + "WHERE (Title='Mr') ORDER BY ContactID");
               ResultSet rec2 = st.executeQuery(
                    "SELECT Subject, ContactID FROM Calls "
                    + "WHERE (Subject Is Not Null) ORDER BY ContactID")javac tells me that "ResultSet" is set to null 0
As always, I am extremely appreciative of any assistance you are able to offer.
Kind regards

Ro,
Thanks for the respone, have been playin, with MPLS for last few hours.
The routing between the loopbacks is now working, can PING 7609 Loopback from AS5350 ,and vice versa. (used static routes).
Having problem with TDP / LDP on routers,
mpls label protocol ldp / tdp command works correctly on both routers, but the
tag-switching tdp router-id Loopback0 force
command works on the 7609, but when I add it onto the AS5350 , the command "mpls ldp router-id Loopback0 force" appears on the startup script.
The opposite is true for the 7609 , you add MPLS LDP command, and TAG-SWITCHING command appears instead.
Any Ideas, as different configs of this leave me with forwarding table with both tags added, but not been able to ping the loopbacks !!!
When I can ping bot loopbacks, the OUTGOING TAG , disapears.....
Problem is LOOPBACK Commands on bot routers default to LDP (AS5350) , or TDP (7609). Any Ideas ...

How to set static IP for C4599 printer ???

Was afraid if we clicked 'answered' <per 'answer' below> we may never get an answer to a followup question to 'PrintDoc' at http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Networking&thread.id=5277 .
Hopefully this re-post will help.
Question/s...
1. When trying to set 'static IP', and click on 'this' link ( http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... ) at your email < below> get...
"An Unexpected Error has occurred."
2. Also, getting printing error after HP Director shows C4500 wireless connected and starts printing.
At 'Component Services' / 'Event Properties' shows...
"The document http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?HTMLVers owned by Alan failed to print on printer HP Photosmart C4500 series (Wireless). Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size of the spool file in bytes: 48960. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 2. Number of pages printed: 0. Client machine: \\AKM. Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 2250 (0x8ca).
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."
When click on 'events.aps' link get...
'Event Viewer' showing 'xpsp2res.dll' file info ?
Does #2. have anything to do with 'IP' question, and will 'static IP' fix ?"
Please advise.
Thanks much.

Re: C4599, wireless Error-Printing, unable to 'communicate' with the device ???
Sure we can set a static IP (actually we are going to reserve an IP address - even better). But first, please mark the post that helped you solve the problem as "Accepted Solution".
Connect to the wireless router by typing the IP address of the wireless router in the address field of your browser, then click Enter. 192.168.1.1 is the default IP address of the wireless router. The wireless router will prompt you to enter the user name of 'admin' and the password. The default password is 'password'.
See the procedure on page 8-16 of this < http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/Networking/message-id/NetGear%20'RangeMax'%20... > document to reserve and IP address for your printer.
You will need the MAC address of your printer (this is on the Network Config Page you printed from the front panel of the printer).
(Although I am employed by HP, I am speaking for myself and not for HP)

Thank you for the followup.
Just got back to this thread after trying what you suggested re new install program.
Months ago, when originally tried to install new C4500, spent weekend, literally 4hrs on a Sat and 4hrs the following Sun with HP support on the phone trying to get C4500 wireless to work.
Finally downloaded a new install program and after installing that and making other numerous setup adjustments, which I cant remember, it worked (the only saving grace for the time spent) for a while.
But for the sake of trying, we did put in the original disk, just like page 4 (or our original paper manual) instructed (per your last post).
The disk loaded and the program did its thing and then get...
"A newer version fo this software is alredy installe on you HP HPPhotosmare C4500 series computer."
So clicked 'finish'.
Then loaded...
PS_AIO_04_C4500_USW_Full_Win_enu_120_210_NB.exe
...which we thougth was the new installer program which we downloaded those months ago (same one you suggested).
Started the '4 step' process.
Got to 'step 3' and it connected to printer with usb cable.
Along the way got message from 'network diagnostics'...
"The PC and the printer are connected to different networks(192.168.1.0 and 192.168.0.0). They must be connected to the same network. This can happen when you use the manufacturer's default network name (SSID) and another nearby network is using the same name.
The gateway address of the printer does not match the network to which the printer is connected. Reconfigure the setting on your printer to match."
Tried changing ip addresses at network settings, but no help.
Clicked on disregard and proceed.
Started 'Network diagnostics' and got...
HPPhotoshopEssential 'install' bar window.
Either way, disk or new install program, get pop-up window with message...
'The feature you are tryong to use is on a CD-ROM or tother removabledisk that inot available. Insert the 'HPPyotosmartEsesential' disk and click OK."
Moved HP .msi and .cab files to same directory with ...NB.exe file.
Install went ahead, and then needed 'setup.exe'.
Opened setup.exe at disk and install went ahead.
Installed latext updated 'HP Solution Center'.
It showed both the C4500usb and wireless, but still wireless not 'connected'.
Ran diagnostics and got same 'diagnostics' message as above.
Made sure hardware enabled etc.
How to fix ?
Thanks again for your help !

Problem setting JComboBox background in Nimbus

I am having a problem setting the background component of a JComboBox when using the Nimbus L&F. The call to JComboBox.setBackground() changes the background of both the content area and the button. I do not want the background color of the button to be changed. I reviewed a number of similar posts in the forums and found a suggested change that results in the button keeping its original background. The code for the suggested change is shown below:
JComboBox bandComboBox;
bandComboBox.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
// This next line of code changes the background color of the button back to its original value
bandComboBox.getComponent(0).setBackground(UIManager.getColor("control"));
This change did not work for the Nimbus L&F but it did work for the Metal L&F. I really need a solution for the Nimbus L&F. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am currently running java 1.6_u13.
Thanks!
Casey

Except for the actual arrow, the combo box arrow button doesn't paint anything in Nimbus. The highlight, the border, and the gradient background of the arrow button are drawn by the combo box painter. Hence, when you set the background color on the combo box, it also affects the look of the arrow button.
So I thought, what if I made the arrow button opaque? Well.. it does become its own color, but it essentially becomes a giant solid-color square appended to the end of the combo box. Not exactly what we were looking for.
So then I thought that maybe we could use the "Nimbus.Overrides" feature to override the colors on the combo box. Turns out you can't do that. The feature doesn't apply to colors. To change the base colors, you would have to go through the UIManager, and in effect change colors for all the components. Plus, the JComboBox uses colors derived from the same core color - "nimbusBase" - to paint the background of the combo box and the arrow button. So if you change "nimbusBase" to yellow then the whole combo box is still effected (although the results admittedly look better then setBackground(Color.yellow) since the gradient effects are retained).
Anyway, after fiddling around with some ideas, this is what I came up with.

Problems setting up an NFS server

Hi everybody,
I just completed my first arch install. :-)
I have a desktop and a laptop, and I installed Arch on the desktop (the laptop runs Ubuntu 9.10). I had a few difficulties here and there, but I now have the system up and running, and I'm very happy.
I have a problem setting up an NFS server. With Ubuntu everything was working, so I'm assuming that the Ubuntu machine (client) is set-up correctly. I'm trying to troubleshoot the arch box (server) now.
I followed this wiki article: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nfs
Now, I have these problems:
- when I start the daemons, I get:
[root@myhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/rpcbind start
:: Starting rpcbind [FAIL]
[root@myhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/nfs-common start
:: Starting rpc.statd daemon [FAIL]
[root@myhost ~]# /etc/rc.d/nfs-server start
:: Mounting nfsd filesystem [DONE]
:: Exporting all directories [BUSY] exportfs: /etc/exports [3]: Neither 'subtree_check' or 'no_subtree_check' specified for export "192.168.1.1/24:/home".
Assuming default behaviour ('no_subtree_check').
NOTE: this default has changed since nfs-utils version 1.0.x
[DONE]
:: Starting rpc.nfsd daemon [FAIL]
- If I mount the share on the client with "sudo mount 192.168.1.20:/home /media/desktop", IT IS mounted but I can't browse it because I have no privileges to access the home directory for the user.
my /etc/exports looks like this:
# /etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported
# to NFS clients. See exports(5).
/home 192.168.1.1/24(rw,sync,all_squash,anonuid=99,anongid=99))
/etc/conf.d/nfs-common.conf:
# Parameters to be passed to nfs-common (nfs clients & server) init script.
# If you do not set values for the NEED_ options, they will be attempted
# autodetected; this should be sufficient for most people. Valid alternatives
# for the NEED_ options are "yes" and "no".
# Do you want to start the statd daemon? It is not needed for NFSv4.
NEED_STATD=
# Options to pass to rpc.statd.
# See rpc.statd(8) for more details.
# N.B. statd normally runs on both client and server, and run-time
# options should be specified accordingly. Specifically, the Arch
# NFS init scripts require the --no-notify flag on the server,
# but not on the client e.g.
# STATD_OPTS="--no-notify -p 32765 -o 32766" -> server
# STATD_OPTS="-p 32765 -o 32766" -> client
STATD_OPTS="--no-notify"
# Options to pass to sm-notify
# e.g. SMNOTIFY_OPTS="-p 32764"
SMNOTIFY_OPTS=""
# Do you want to start the idmapd daemon? It is only needed for NFSv4.
NEED_IDMAPD=
# Options to pass to rpc.idmapd.
# See rpc.idmapd(8) for more details.
IDMAPD_OPTS=
# Do you want to start the gssd daemon? It is required for Kerberos mounts.

# Options to pass to rpc.gssd.
# See rpc.gssd(8) for more details.
GSSD_OPTS=
# Where to mount rpc_pipefs filesystem; the default is "/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs".
PIPEFS_MOUNTPOINT=
# Options used to mount rpc_pipefs filesystem; the default is "defaults".
PIPEFS_MOUNTOPTS=
/etc/hosts.allow:
nfsd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
rpcbind: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
mountd: 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
Any help would be very appreciated!

Thanks, I finally got it working.
I realized that even though both machines had the same group, my Ubuntu machine (client) group has GID 1000, while the Arch one has GID 1001. I created a group that has GID 1001 on the client, and now everything is working.
I'm wondering why my Arch username and group both have 1001 rather than 1000 (which I suppose would be the default number for the first user created).
Anyway, thanks again for your inputs.

Problems Setting Up Developer Users

I am having a problem setting up developer users and I am trying to determine if I am missing a step or if there is a configuration problem on my staging and production systems.
What I want to do should be very simple. I want to create a user that can create an application and see the information under the "Application" tab in the Navigator.
I have created the user using the following steps on 3.0.9.82 for Unix:
1. Create the user
2. Make the user a full administrator (rather than end user)
3. Make the user a member of the portal_developers group
4. Make the user's default group the portal_developers group
However, when I do this the user does not see the information under the
"Application" tab. The only way I can get the user to see the info under the
"Application" tab is to make him a member of the Portal_administrators
and/or DBA group. Both my staging and production boxes have the same result.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on what might be happening?

Thank you- I have read through that thread and can see some resonance with my issue.
My AOL emails work VERY fast with BB, in fact almost simultaneously received on PC & Torch " ping ping!"
This issue only raised its ugly head when I had 2 Torches replaced by my insurers.
Whilst the claim was in process I used a new Curve, loaded from backup on PC to keep emails going and of course phone & web facilities. ( I use the BB to power internet via bluetooth to my PC / laptop when living on a remote island with no phone lines or power supplies) All was fine. Swapping email accounts took a few minutes with the usual password confirmations for each AOL screenname etc.
Then the new Torches came back from insurers, and I tried to swap devices. Phoning & texting is fine. Al data and contacts swap over fine.
SETUP email accounts.............stymied every time. It says repeatedly that my user name/password is invalid etc etc etc
Have tried security wipes. Have tried setting up new BB ID & passwords on PC website. All is OK until I try to setup emails on the Torches. This has used up ridiculous amounts of time- all wasted.
I love the BB phones and the fast email push......in fact I recently bought a new Sony Xperia Z1 but sent it back because of wifi coverage meant no emails on that superb phone for lots of the time.
Good old BB I said..........I always get emails wherever I am. ( Rural Scotland has very patchy radio & wifi coverage)
Was about to purchase new Z10s just to get a bigger screen, but now I am averse to buying ANY BB phone again because this present mess means I may never get emails set up again. How nuts is that?
Many thanks for all help & suggestions..........boy do I need them!!
Kind wishes from West of Scotland

Problems setting up VVSA 6.0 (lookup service adresse)

Hi,
I was happy to see VVSA 6.0 released, but i'm having problems setting it up. It keeps saying that the lookup service adresse is not reachable. But I have tried with the VVSA 5.5 and 5.5.1.1 and they work just fine with the lookup service adresse.
Anyone else having this issue?
Also trying to check for updates within the appliance failes since the repository is not online at vmware it seems.
Might not be ready for primetime (like ESXi6).

If Developer has a separate Oracle Home on your PC, then it has a separate TNSNAMES.ORA file that is uses to connect to the database. If you search for all tnsnames.ora files, you should find the one used by Developer 6.
Since Enterprise manager works, the tnsnames.ora in your Enterprise Manager's home will have an entry for your server database. You should be able to cut and paste this into the tnsnames.ora file used by Developer, or try copying the E.M. tnsnames.ora file directly.

Problems setting up JDBC

I recently downloaded mysql Connector for my project.
However, I have problems setting it up.
When I run my program, It gives me a class not defined error.
System.out.println("Registering Driver...");
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
System.out.println("Connected to database");
System.out.println("Creating Connection");
connection= DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost:8080/neuis");
System.out.println("Connection created");
catch(Exception ex)
System.out.println("Error in loading jdbc Driver: "+ex);
ex.printStackTrace();
I have put the jar file of the JDBC Bridge in a folder
C:\Drivers\Sql Connector
I have also added the absolute path of the jar to the system classpath
The value put in is:
C:\Drivers\Sql Connector\mysql-connector-java-3.1.10-bin.jar.
I am not sure what the problem is because I was told by the API that this was all I needed to do. Are there any other files I need to include with the jar file? Also, Is there a specific folder I must put it in?
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Take a look at the below link

may help you to setting up the jdbc with mysql

Problems Setting up my wireless network with an Xb...

Hi, I have had some problems setting up my wireless networking.
I have everything switched on and am able to go online with the laptop and the Xbox with no problems but when I try to share media with the xbox I have problems.
I have opened the ports specified in the setup from xbox on windows firewall and have no problem connection Via Ethernet cable but when using wireless the xbox cannot detect the laptop.
I have checked the network map and both xbox and laptop are connected and have enabled sharing and am running sharing software.
Below is the network map.
I have also been having problems with BT software, the free virus protection will not install, The desktop help will not launch although it shows up on task manager and the installation disk does not launch correctly it doesn't get past the loading screen.
I have had a printer on the wireless network and had no problems printing.
If anyone knows how to resolve this please help.

I have this same Motorola modem and I just verified that my 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can get Internet access with this modem without any issues.
When changing ISPs (or networking equipment) it's always a good idea to start from "scratch" in configuring your equipment.
I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref: Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes.
Power-up the base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes.
Power-up your computer(s).
In this basic configuration, computers connected to the base station, either by wire or wireless (as appropriate for the base station type), should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options.
