WRT54G only allowing one unit to attach to static IP printer

Hello, I have a small network in a classroom with one printer with a network card.
I have made that printer a static IP 192.168.2.50. 
Wireless PC' have no problem attaching and printing.
For some reason... when I attach a wired PC to that printer using an IP port connection using tcp/ip  it only allows one PC at a time to attach.
Is this a setting in the WRT54G or should I look to the network card.

i don't think it has to do anything with the router...because had it been the router , even the wireless computers wouldn't have worked...
so it seems to me an issue between the network card...

  • Time Capsule only allows one Macbook be on the internet at a time!

    So far no one even at Apple Care has been able to solve this problem.
    My wife and i have brand new Macbooks. Mine, the latest 2.4Ghz black model bought in the UK and her's the 2.1Ghz bought in the US.
    We both used the Orange livebox as our wireless router and it worked seamlessly (albeit only when security was turned off) until i purchased a 1TB Time Capsule.
    I managed to get the TC up as our wireless router with the Livebox as the modem, but, bizarrely, it will only allow ONE computer to be on the internet at a time - and giving preference to mine. Basically, the second i turn my airport on - she loses connection! It's like my computer ***** the internet away from hers.
    If hers is the only computer on in the house then it works perfectly.
    I have spent hours on the phone to Apple Care and changed a number of the settings within Airport Utility, but the longest we got both computer running on the internet together was for about 20 minutes when i switched to Radio Mode 802.11n only (5 Ghz). For a moment we thought the problem was solved until i put the phone down and low an behold, she lost her connection once more.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Don't know what an Orange livebox is, but I will treat it as a DSL modem and assume the ISP uses a DHCP server. Make sure you have connected the modem to the TC WAN port.
    Open AirPort Utility, select the TC, click on Manual Setup, click on the Internet tab.
    - is 'Connect Using:' set to 'Ethernet' - set to this if not.
    - is 'Configure IPv4:' set to 'Using DHCP' - set to this if not.
    - is 'Ethernet WAN Port:' set to 'Automatic (Default)' - set to this if not.
    - is 'Connection Sharing:' set to 'Share a public IP address' - set to this if not (if set to Bridge Mode then only one computer will be able to use the internet).
    Click 'Update and wait for TC to restart.
    Check the network settings on the client computers. Go to System Preferences/Network/AirPort:
    - click on the 'Network Name:' roll-button, select 'Join Other Network...', enter 'Network Name and select the security type you are using, and finally, enter your Password and click 'Join'.
    If ISP uses DHCP:
    - click on 'Advanced', TCP/IP and confirm that 'Configure IPv4:' is set to 'Using DHCP', click 'OK'.
    - click the 'Apply' button and exit System Preferences.
    May also be wise to Repair Permissions using Disk Utility and to reboot your network hardware:
    1. Turn power off to ISP modem and the TC, and shutdown computer - leave power off for 10 minutes.
    2. Turn on modem and wait for it to complete its test cycle. Then turn on the TC.
    3. Turn on computer and check your internet connection.

  • Traffic only allowed one-way for VPN connected computers

    Hello,
    I currently have an ASA 5505.  I have set it up as a remote access SSL VPN. My computers can connect to the VPN just fine.  They just can't access the internal LAN (192.168.250.0).  They can't ping the inside interface of the ASA, or any of the machines.  It seems like all traffic is blocked for them.  The strange thing is that when someone is connected to the VPN, I can ping that VPN-connect machine from the ASA and other machines inside the LAN.  It seems the traffic only allows one way.  I have messed with ACL's with no avail.  Any suggestions please?

    Hello,
    I seem to be having the same kind of issue although I cannot ping from either end.
    Ive set up a l2tp/ipsec vpn which I am able to connect to and get ip from my ip pool (radius authentication is working).

    but i get an error msg saying that the syntax of the nat command is deprecated. Im running ASA version 8.4.

  • Can you change a PDF file to only allow one person have it open on a shared network?

        At my office, we all work from the same network and are constantly sharing files. We need to add comments and edit PDF files. One thing I have noticed is that adobe will not tell you that someone else has the file open until you have made all your changes and are trying to save it. Is there anyway you can be notified when you open the file that someone else is in it or only allow one user to have it open at a time?
    By the way... we are all using Adobe Acrobat X Standard

    No, there isn't. The way you're using the file is not recommended. You
    should use a review tracker to avoid getting in the way of one another.

  • What are the limitations of AMS5 only allowing one-way broadcast for the video capture support?

    I am interested in a tool that can access a clients webcam and begin recording from their device. When the time is up, it should store that recorded video to a server. Then, of course, the files can be accessed. Streaming is of less significance than simply capturing and accessing video from a client
    Can I do this with only Adobe Media Server Standard Edition?
    Bearing in mind, I may need to be capturing video from multiple clients at one time. Is this limited by the fact that Standard only allows "one-way broadcasts?"
    Thanks,
    Carl

    Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried using DVCPRO HD in the past, but the picture quality of the captured screen footage turns out blurry. The only codecs I've found that provide a perfectly clear image are H264, Animation and Uncompressed 8-bit. The problem with the latter two is that video files lasting only a few seconds measure in the 100s of MBs. Working with files that large would slow my editing and rendering down to a non-workable length.
    I just don't understand why I can't edit H264 video if my sequence codec is set to H264. The 'Codec error' I get is baffling.

  • My DSL provider says they only allow one wireless network--

    My DSL provider says they only allow one wireless network. Can I do the following?
    My existing wireless network consists of a single DSL/ActionTec modem connected to an Airport Extreme (configured using two additional Airport Expresses for wireless printing and air-tunes). I have great wireless coverage all through my house. My office is in a detached building about 200 feet from my house. I want to tap into my existing wireless system by running a Cat5 cable to my office and set up another Airport Express (and two more airport expresses for printing and air-tunes for my office). Would this technically be considered two separate wireless networks if I run the Cat5 cable between the two Airport Extremes (since there would only be one connection to the ActionTec DSL modem)? Would my DSL provider know I have established a secondary wireless network? Would my DSL provider have any ability to prevent these two separate networks from working properly on one DSL line?

    It really doesn't make much difference. If you run it from your DSL modem, you will in effect have two separate networks, but they should still be able to talk to each other. If you run it from your Airport from the LAN prt, that will work too but the DHCP you will set up in your office will have to be different from your first Airport. For example: If your first Airport is set up to hand out IP addresses on the 10.0.1.X network, your office irrport will have as it's WAN IP 10.0.1.Y and the wirless IP Range will have to be something like 192.168.1.x. But again, it shouldn't make much of a difference either way. itunes etc, will still work.

    On my iPod touch why does it only allow one earphone to play? I've plugged the ear phone kno another device and they worked perfectly fine what is wrong with my iPod

    - Try inserting and removing the headphone plug a dozen or so times.
    - Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, like a bad headphone jack.

  • Help with script to only allow one radio button

    i have made a simple script that checks to see if a radio
    button is selected or not, if more then one is picked it turns the
    hilite of the others off. The problem is i have 28 radio buttons
    over 7 scenes i want to allow one button to be on from each scene
    but the way my code works now is it turns off every button apart
    from the last one choosen. Is there a way to do this has one
    behaviour or do i need to have a altered version on each scene?

    There are many ways to do this - one way or the other you
    need to group the buttons
    1) Based on your example you could simply use the member
    names for grouping - instead of just comparing the name of the
    clicked member, compare whether or not char[2] of the name is the
    same as the clicked member. If so, deselect.
    2) You have the me parameter in your code, which suggests you
    are writing a behaviour which is attached to each radio on the
    stage. You could use sendAllSprites from the clicked member to tell
    other members to deselect. This way it will only affect any other
    radios on stage at the time and you don't need to hard code.
    Something like (pseudo-code)
    on mouseUp me
    clickedName = sprite(me.spriteNum).member.name
    sendAllSprites(#radioclicked, me, clickedName )
    end
    on radioclickedme, clickedName
    if sprite(me.spriteNum).member.name = clickedName then
    sprite(me.spriteNum).member.hilite = 1
    else
    sprite(me.spriteNum).member.hilite = 0
    end if
    end

  • My airport only allows one device at a time

    I recentley upgraded my modem but now I can only connect one wireless device at a time.  Suggestions?

    If you are using a Mac running Lion....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort icon, then click Edit
    Click the Network tab
    Make sure that the setting for Router Mode is set to DHCP and NAT
    Click Update and the AirPort will restart in 25-30 seconds
    If you are using Leopard or Snow Leopard.....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Select the AirPort and click Manual Setup
    Click the Internet icon, then click the Internet Connection tab
    Make sure that the setting for Connection Sharing is set to Share a public IP Address
    Click Update to save the settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort to restart
    With either configuration above......
    Now power cycle the entire network as follows:
    Power off each device in any order that you wish. Make sure that the power cord is pulled from the back of the modem, or from the wall AC outlet
    Wait a few minutes
    Start the modem and let it run 3-4 minutes by itself
    Start the AirPort and let it run 2 minutes by itself
    Start each network device one at a time about a minute apart
    Check the network

  • Tried to order on-line - only allowed one bundle choice

    My first one-year contract is up next month. I was exploring options on-line and the only bundle that came up was the Ultimate HD. A Verizon chat representative said that because I currently have the original Extreme HD their system will only allow me to upgrade to the Ultimate HD- I was not allowed to make a choice. If my contract is up, why can't I pick whatever new bundle I want? But no matter what you do the on-line system only gives you one choice - the most expensive one. This does not seem fair to me.

    gene1802 wrote:
    film 11 suggests I stick with the package I have ( the old Extreme HD). I would love to, but it that possible?  My contract runs out in March - won't I be forced to choose a new version of the bundles?
    Does your two year price guarantee expire in March or just your 1 year commitment?
    When most of us signed up two years ago, it was a 1 year commitment, and a two year price guarentee. If that is your case, the bundle may not show the bundle as one single price after the first year, but the total will still equal the price of the bundle as mine does. As long as you make no changes, your programming and price will stay the same until the end of the second year.
    If you wish to make any changes to say the new 25/25 Extreme bundle, you would need to call and have the change made over the phone. It is my understanding that the online system will only allow you to upgrade.

  • The airport on my Time Capsule will now only allow one device to connect at a time.

    When I first installed my new time capsule, everything worked beautifully. I had multiple devices connected to the AirPort and life was good.
    A few weeks ago, I swapped my cable modem and everything went bad from there. Now I can only connect one device wirelessly at a time.
    After lots of back and forth with Time Warner, a swap of the modem and may hours with tech support, it has been determined that my Time capsule is not assigning the 2nd, 3rd... devices a proper IP address. Instead, the IP addresses all begin with 169.
    What advice do you have. Is there a way to reset the whole darn thing? At this point, I am okay if I lose all of my backups.
    Thanks!

    What is the cable modem?? Make and model please.
    What model is your TC.. A1xxx from the base please??
    I suspect the issue is the TC is bridged and you have a pure modem.. you need to change it over to router mode..
    Here is what you need to do to setup the TC..
    The list is over long perhaps but is based on best network practice for Yosemite which is rather more than problematic.
    You don't say what OS you are running.
    Once you do this.. you also need to power down the modem if it is pure modem type (which is all that makes sense here). Leave it off for 20min while you do the setup of the TC and then power up the modem wait a couple of min and power up the TC..
    Expect serious issues if the modem is SB something.. 6121 or 6141 for example. And your TC is AC model.
    Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    Setup the TC again.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg TCgen5 for basestation and and TCwifi wireless name.
    If the issue is wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round. ie plan on a first and second round of changes to fix this.. hopefully.. I will point out other steps that can be round2.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply with 1. but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. If the TC is main router you can skip this point. This is only an issue when the TC is bridged.
    Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking.
    4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
    5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
    In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
    Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
    You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
    However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
    6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only. Do the same for ethernet if you use it.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
    You might need to do some more work on the computer itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
    Tell us how you go.
    Someone posted a solution.. See this thread.

  • Only allow one delivery item within only one TO

    Hi Gurus,
    Can we setup a rule not allow one delivery item exsting in more than 1 Transfer order?
    Thanks,

    Hi ,
    I think you can use the below exits for your requirement :-
    1. COZF0001 [For PR doc changes to service ] and COZF0002[For PR document type changes to non stock material] .
    2. You can use tables AUFK,EBKN,EBAN ...

  • 10.5.2 STILL only allows one e-mail adr per WGM account

    I'm getting REALLY tired of Server in several areas. So much for thinking that the .2 update would solve the, ahem, undocumented features.
    In this case, I have one WGM account with a bazillion e-mail addresses, many addresses per domain for several domains. I can only send mail to ONE of those e-mail addresses. Sending mail to any of the other e-mail addresses provokes a "550 We will not relay" The same is true of all WGM accounts. Mail Server seems to pick one address in WGM at random (or WGM does so), and lets no e-mail to any of the other short name e-mail addresses.
    This behaviour is nuts. What does it take to get Server 10.5.x to behave wrt accounts and log ins? The docs. are quite clear on what to to, but the product simply refuses to do as it is told in the GUI.
    I'm beginning to think that Server is a complete waste of money. It should NOT be this difficult to set up a server. After all, isn't Apple the master of the GUI? After months of this flakey behaviour by Leopard Server, I'm starting to get really upset with Apple (not something I would have ever expected), in that Server does not seem to be of merchantable quality, at least to me. I've run into too many show-stopping, critical bugs in this product. :-/
    Grrr.
    Help! Thanks.

    The bottom of page 7 of your tutorial clearly shows that one can enter more than one fully-qualified e-mail address for 'virtual-user1'
    Sure. As long as it is for the same virtual domain.
    There's nothing to indicate that. Everything in both your document and Apple's make an unspoken assumption that the same user will only collect e-mail from a single virtual domain. This is not going to be the case for all users. Given the lack of documentation specifically saying one has to use only ONE e-mail virtual domain, and the behaviour that one WGM user CAN collect e-mail from more than one domain, the logical inference is that, given the documentation that one can have more than one e-mail address at a given virtual domain, one should be able to have both more than one e-mail address at a single virtual domain and more than one virtual domain per WGM user. The logic is sound, and there is NO indication anywhere (the docs., your very useful cheat sheet, and the discussion fora) that it cannot be done. THAT's what is so frustrating.
    Where do I say you can add other domains?
    You do not say it cannot be done, and my server does do it. It only does it for one address per virtual domain, however.
    Again, it would defeat the purpose and differentiation of virtual vs. local domains.
    Not when one is set up as an ISP to several customers with same user names for their e-mail addresses in wholly separate virtual domains, but ALSO with customers with several virtual domains with users who have more than one e-mail address in EACH domain and addresses in more than one virtual domain. This is a real-world scenario. I have it.
    The tutorial guides you through setting up 2 users, 2 in the local and 2 in each of the 2 virtual domains. As sample data it uses virtual-domain1.com and virtual-domain2.com. Nowhere throughout the tutorial are virtual-domain1.com and virtual-domain2.com used together for the same user.
    Don't you think there is a reason behind that?
    shortname3-x: aliases for e-mail address under shortname2
    Would clearly seem to indicate that one should simply add additional e-mail aliases for the user at this point (and many of my users have e-mail addresses in more than one virtual domain). It in no way indicates that one should limit the aliases to the same virtual domain (since one is adding e-mail addresses for the USER, not the domain).
    What I'm suggesting is that both Apple's documentation and the cheat sheet are confusing to a new user. From the point of view of a new administrator, there is no explanation of what cannot be done, specifically that each user should only be set up to be for only a single virtual domain (not, necessarily a real-world situation). Problem is, the evidence is that the server WILL allow me to set up a single WGM user to receive e-mail at addresses in more than one virtual domain, which simply adds to the confusion.
    The documentation available does not preclude a WGM user having e-mail addresses in more than one virtual domain, and evidence from my server behaviour says that a WGM user CAN pick up from more than one virtual domain that is not the local domain (but it breaks on more than one e-mail address in any one of those virtual domains). Maybe the docs. are incomplete or wrong, maybe the server behaviour is not as it should be. Either way, currently, the two conflict.
    Anyway, I am done arguing. If you want to find a solution I'll be happy to assist.
    Please understand that I'm not trying to argue. I'm merely stating the evidence as I see it and as clearly as possible, and trying to show how it appears to conflict and, therefore, how it frustrates. Text often does not convey what speech does. I'd love to know what to do in my situation. If we get the explanation in this thread, then other confused and frustrated users will not have to go through these hassles.
    I have many users, several of whom EACH need to pick up mail for more than one address in any given hosted virtual domain AND for more than one virtual domain (i.e. many addresses in each of many virtual domains).
