X11vnc: cannot use host name in Windows

Hi, i cannot find my host name if i start x11vnc. It works if i write on Windows XP "Real VNC Viewer" IP adress. When i start x11vnc
The VNC desktop is: asus:0
But if i write to Real VNC Viewer "asus" or "asus:5900", it doesn't work but if i write "192.168.1.101" it works fine. I need find how i can use host name, because i have DHCP on router and IP address will be different. Please help, thanks

Well, that's to be expected with standard plastic routers, or can you ping your XP box by name, for example?
Look in your router interface if you can specify DHCP leases with fixed IPs, depending on MAC address.
And then specify hostnames for those IPs in /etc/hosts and c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Network Error []: Cannot Get Host Name when running business rules

Guru's
We are getting the following error intermittently when we are running business rules (Planning Application >>Tools>>Business Rules) or running SmartView refreshes:
Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name
The following is then logged in the Essbase Application logs:
Local/Application/Database/admin@Native Directory/Error(1042022)
Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name.
A quick look at the Essbase Error Messages Doc says it is a network error and we have to consult the network documentation. Unfortunately this is not very descriptive so we logged an SR with Oracle but we don't seem to be getting a resolution.
The environment is 11.1.2.0 and the architecture is as follows:
Server 1 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Planning, Calc Manager, Foundation Services, Framework Web Services, EAS, APS, Web Analysis, FR Web Services
Server 2 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Essbase Server
Server 3 - MS Server 2008 x64:
Framework Services, FR Print Services
We have tried doing the following:
1. Put in the server host names into the hosts file on the Hyperion Servers
2. Applied the following TCP/IP settings on all the Hyperion Servers and one of the user machines as a test:
      - Added a new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay and set it to 30.
     - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort and set it to 65534.
     - Added a new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs and set it to 6250
3. Confirmed that there are no packet drops by monitoring the server NICs so no packet loss could be the cause of this issue
4. The Essbase Config file has the following settings:
NETDELAY 2000
NETRETRYCOUNT 2500
Has anyone come across this issue and if you managed to resolve it, how did you go about it.
Thanx

Hi Rahul
The issue is happening to a number of calcs so it it not one calc specifically. I will ask the functional consultants to enhance the logging in the business rules so that we can see if the issue happens on a specific member\block etc and yes we do use Xrefs
We can run this as a calc in EAS without any issues and it's intermittent because this business rule runs 95% of the time in Planning Application >> Tools >>Business Rules without any issues.
Thanks

Cannot DNS resolve across networks using host name only (not fqdn)

Evening all,
I currently run domain network (MS Server 08 - dhcp) on my firewall interface1 and WiFi network on interface2 (dhcp provided by router itself). On my Wifi dhcp I am advertising as DNS server that of the domain, but wifi clients can resolve only FQDN domain
client names not host names ("domainclient.domain.local" - not "domainclient").
If on my wifi client I change NIC properties -> IPV4->Advance->DNS-> append these suffixes, and put the domain.local, then it works but need to be able to work without manual changes to each client.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Argyris

Hi,
Additional, please confirm your DHCP option have configure the correct WINS server.

Cannot resolve host names on local network

It is a local network with router, few Windows computers with shared drives and one Mac.
Windows shares appear correctly in SHARED and can be used without any problems, like iTunes and iPhoto libraries are on those shared drives and work properly, even if ip address of those computers would change.
BUT - if I am trying to use VNC and connect to hostname:port, it says that server is not specified. If I try to ping hostname it says Unknown host.
At the same time, similar ping from Windows computer work without any problems.
It could be possible that router does not support something standard and communicates with Windows using something windows-specific, but what confuses me is that I can see computer names resolved in the finder already! Also, as I said iTunes and iPhoto can work with shared files on dynamic ip's which would be not possible if host names would be not resolved.
Thanks.

Domain Name Resolution for local IP addresses require a Local DNS server running on your network.
Bonjour names will resolve without a Local DNS server. So this is why iTunes and iPhoto works as they use bonjour technology.
A bonjour name ends in .local so in your macs sharing preferences you give the mac a name of imac its bonjour address is imac.local
Other than that you are best giving your devices fixed IP address and adding there hostnames to your hosts file.
the contents of /etc/hosts on your mac would look like
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
so at the above that you could add for example
192.168.1.5 mypc
192.168.1.6 myprinter
Then you could ping 192.168.1.5 by
ping mypc
So would have to add these entries to each hosts file on every computer on your lan.
Or you could setup a local dns server and give each computer on your LAN a fully qualified domain name.

Cannot use hosts file with 10.5.1

Hi,
Not sure when this problem creeped in, I think it is since my upgrade to Leopard.
The problem is that whatever I put into my /etc/hosts file is not used. Restards, cache flushes do not help.
If I have in the hosts file
xx.xx.xx.xx anotherHost
nslookup anotherHost fails
What I think is the root cause is that the resolver is hardwired only to DNS and does not read the hosts file. Unfortunatelly I cannot find a way how to change the resolving order in Leopard. lookupd is gone and was replaced by what ?
Reproducable on colleague's macbook.
So short summary :
* how do I make my resolver use hosts file
* how do I control the lookup sequence of my resolver
Regards,
Georgi

As described by others NSLOOKUP looks up onto the name server not the host file
Samba instead would use your host file first then an NSLOOKUP then WINS and finally broadcast
So what kind of service do you want to use your host file for?

Configure Mail to use host name

Hi,
I'm trying to configure Mail on a Mac Mini Server. My problem is that I can't get the from email address to show correctly. The host name is demo.company.com, however email arrives with appleserver2.local (domain name). I've setup two accounts - administrator and user. When I send email from administrator to user it shows as coming form [email protected] - what I want it to show is [email protected]?
I found an article (http://serverfault.com/questions/55342/change-email-domain-os-x-server) which seemed to ask the same question. The accepted answer made some changes to the main.cf file:
myorigin = $mydomain
mydestination = $myhostname localhost.$mydomain localhost $mydomain
After I made the changes I restarted the Mail service, but it didn't solve my problem. I even rebooted the server but no change.
Also, am I correct in thinking that a user's email address is configured using the Workgroup Manager under the Info tab?
Mark

I cannot recommend this, as I am not sure all the intergrations with other apps and databases would work properly, but see:
http://hintsforums.macworld.com/showthread.php?t=108443
Are you sure this is worth it? My Mail folder is a long term archive, and I don't delete many messages. Yet it is less than 20 GB. Sounds like other apps and databases will overtake your space savings quickly.

Change host name on windows 2k3 post successful Essbase 11.1.2.1.0 install

Hi gurus
installed Essbase 11.1.2.1.0 successfully on windows w2k3 ent srever 32 bit
can I change the host name to include domain name
currently it is
xxx.xx.xxx.xxx somehost
can it be changed to
xxx.xx.xxx.xxx somehost.local.com somehost
is hostname hardcoded anywhere in essbase (or obiee)?

Host name : would be computer name
domain name: security asigned in the network ( i hope)
so you can login via your ipadress , host name(localhost),(computername ), and assigined computername_domainname
but if u see in ur pc where C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\host...u can see the localhost information
in my case while installing , it took domain name +computername
Hyperion is such smart application it takes host name while installation and after installation even it takes name as localhost also.
Unless ur authorised to change the domain name but i dont hope ur infra team will be able to allow you it

Webpage using host name without domain

Installed 10g successfully but when I try to naviagte the url is only using the computer host name without the domain. I keep getting the DNS_ERROR. If I manually append the domain in the webpage it works.
Installed on Solaris 10.

I doubt this has anything to do with Lion Server. it sounds more like the client settings.
Did you add your domain to the list of search domains (System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> DNS).
This list is the list of domains the client will search when looking up a unqualified hostname. Add your domain to this list.

Cannot use isight camera with Windows 7 x32 on Macbook mid-2009

Very very weird,
it worked until bootcamp was upgraded mid next year.
I have been looking for a solution siunce then.
Wife is using the notebook and she is mad every time she is answering call from Skype or MSN Messenger she needs to reboot into Lion.
She uses Windows 7 x32 on bootcamp most of the time yet she cannot use the camera.
The camera shows grey and freezes wiuth busy mouse cursor.
booting intro Lion works so it is something with the drivers.
Can anyone help?
I have looking for months already and I did not see solutions...
Andrea

Issue Fixed.
BootCamp 3.2 - 3.3 breaks the functionality with Windows 7 at the latest patch level.
The fix has been:
upgrading OSX to Lion
Patch to latest release
Go To Boot Camp Assistant
Download Windows Support Files to Jump Drive (second option I believe it is)
Reboot into Windows 7
Run Setup - BootCamp 4.0 will install
Reboot
Launch Skype or MSN Messenger - ISight will magically work again!

My iMac can not see my mini Mac via Airport extreme using host name, only via IP address. What am I doing wrong ?

I have an iMac and a mini Mac attached to the same Airport extreme. It would appear that Bonjour works because I can see the hostname of the mini Mac server in Finder on the iMac.
But if I type in the host name (myminimac.private) in the Safari browser at the iMac it can not find the mini mac. However if I type in the IP address of the mini mac server it can see the see it.
It used to work but I must have done something to mess it up.
Anybody any suggestions ?

You have the wrong card. You need the original AirPort card for your G4.
...how the **** do i get the Superdrive to open up so i can put in a CD/DVD?
If the keyboard has a media eject key, press that. If not, hold down F12.

Cannot use Airport with my Windows partition

I have an Airport that I use with my iMac and never had problems.
But I cannot get Airport to work with my Windows partition installed with Bootcamp (Windows XP SP2).
My wireless network appears in the window among others, but when I choose it, I cannot connect. And the Airport utility also cannot detect my wireless network.
How do I fix this?

Kindle works just fine on my AirPort Extreme.
You do not have an apostrophe or other type of thing like this in the name of your wireless network, do you?
Is the name of your wireless network a single word or phrase comprised of letters and/or numbers with no spaces?

Hi
I have Satellite L40 - 139 PSL40E laptop, I was using windows Vista. When i was use Vista, i could use "FN" key for sound or others but then i setuped the Windos7 but now i cant use "FN" key for sound, becauze i cant find acessibility driver for Windows 7 that according to my laptop model.
what can i do ? how can i find ?
thnx

Hi Buragh,
I agree with the user above. You have to install Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. Both tools you can download here:

In forum there are many threads about FN keys. They should be useful so did you read it already? ;)

Mac User Cannot Use Form Created in Windows Acrobat 9.0 Pro

I have created a form and emailed it to a Mac user. He does not know what version of Acrobat he has or even if he is using a full version of Acrobat or Acrobat Reader (I tried to walk him through to check his version, but he could not find it).
He is using a laptop that is about 5 years old.
Anyway....I created this form in Acrobat 9.0 Pro. It works great for me...when I type in the fields, the text falls perfectly on the lines; the autocalculate works perfectly, and the RESET button works perfectly. When he opens the file, the text shows all below the lines, the autocalculate does not work at all, and neither does the RESET button. He sent it to another person, and they too could not use the form.
I have enabled the PDF so it can be filled out by Reader users and it is not in PDF/A mode, but it still is not working for him. I went to the library where they have a Mac and I was able to open it through Acrobat Reader 9 and again, I was able to fill the form out and it worked perfectly for me.
Would anyone be available (with a Mac) through email so I could send you the file to see if any Acrobat pros might be able to tell me what is wrong with it? I am absolutely frustrated to the points of tears over this. If you do not want to place your email here, I will give you mine so you can email me first ([email protected]); just let me know here that you are emailing me so I know to check email rather than check here.
Thank you!
Laura

He's probably not using either Acrobat or Reader. The Mac comes with a built-in PDF viewer named Preview and it has limited support for PDF forms. It even corrupts them when it saves. It should definitely be avoided. Fortunately Reader is freely available, you just have to get him to install it.
