OS X :: How Do I Configure IP Addresses?
Dec 12, 2010
I'm running Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista using Parallels on my MacBook. I'm supposed to assign IP addresses to both (this is a static IP address, if I'm not mistaken), as well as preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server. I know how to get to the IPv4 and IPv6 configuration areas in Local Area Connection Properties, but I have no idea what the difference is between the two. Furthermore, when I go to IPv4 or IPv6 Properties, I click on, "Use the following IP address, " but I have no idea what IP address to use. Is it the IP address of the MacBook, or do I simply choose a brand new IP address for both machines? Plus, how do I figure out the preferred DNS and alternate DNS servers? I know how to do ipconfig /all and all that, but in therm of assigning a brand new address/DNS server, I don't know what to do.
Another thing, whenever I try to configure a new IP address, it tells me it's an Unidentified Network. Should I be worried about this?
Finally, I'm definitely concerned about messing with the IP address of my MacBook. Although I won't give out my IP address verbatim, the IP address for the MacBook is similar to 24.158.240.88, and I tried altering it manually and couldn't connect to the internet anymore. Should I do anything with that IP address? Or should I only concern myself with the IP address of my Server 2008 and Vista machines? I've heard that the IP can be in the range of my router, what does that mean? How do I find out my router's IP? Is it the same as the IP for my MacBook? Am I way off here?

I had a bad 4GB chip of RAM from OWC, but the replacement just came in. configuring the following:
(4) 4 GB chips
(4) 1 GB chips
I seem to remember there being a discrepancy in how to arrange pairs or quads between what Apple says and what barefeats says. Which is the correct way to ensure 256 bit addressing for my configuration?

so i have an 802.11G Wireless setup at home, and for some reason my Belkin Router seems to think my Macbook has two MAC Addresses and assigns it two I.P. addresses too. This doesn't cause me any issues, other than when i want to set up port forwarding in Torrent clients such as Vuze or Transmission i never know which IP address to use.
How is this even possible? None of my other Mac's do it, so its not a problem with my router, which piece of Wireless networking hardware in the 17" Unibody Macbook Pro could have two distinct MAC Addresses, i didn't think that was even possible.

I was wondering if in Mac OS X (10.4 and 10.6) If there is a way to redirect web addresses. My Wife and I's anniversary is coming up. and I wanted to redirect an everyday site she goes to (say, Facebook) to a custom address (to a page saying how glad I am to be married to her, love her etc.)
If I could preferably write a script and schedule it with chron that would be awesome. (so that the redirecting starts during the day when I'm away at work, and then a few hours later it can switch back)

I have previously sort of asked about this within someone else's thread, so apologies to anyone who may have already seen a convoluted version of the below.
Basically, I am about to buy a 2010 Mac Pro 6 core. Due to many of the MacRumors posters, I have been advised to buy my drives and RAM from OWC, which I shall do. I am now trying to figure out just what I should buy, and how I would then set up for backup.
So first, I will tell you what I already have on hand... I'm running a G5 with the internal 230gb drive (holds system, apps, photos, iTunes), an external 512gb LaCie (holds all my work) and and external 2TB LaCie that used only to back up the other two, using Retrospect. (it is partitioned in half and one half is just about full. Truth be told, I don't really understand the backup process and it was set up by someone else.)
I am a graphic designer and keep needing more space to store and back up work.
So I am planning for sure to buy an SSD - 200gb OWC Mercury Pro RE
Then the MP will come with the 1TB drive.
Should I get another internal 1TB or 2TB drive from OWC, even if I have the external now?
Once I know what I should get, I then am confused about how it all gets backed up. I've always heard the backup drive needs to be MUCH larger than the sum of the drives it is backing up. Is that true? If so, do I need 1 drive that is bigger than 2TB for everything to go on, or can it be split up?

I mean in terms of, in Windows Explorer, you can type C:/Drive/Whatever and then get there. This can be helpful, especially in a networking environment. I like finder but I wish there was a way to navigate via pathways. Is there one?

Apple Mail caches addresses I sent mail to, so it has many more addresses in the list when I start to type a name in the To: or Cc: field than are in my address book. Some of these addresses are no longer accurate. Is there a way to either clear the cache totally, or remove certain ones?
It's really annoying having to type someone's name and scroll through a huge list of their email addresses they've had over the who knows how long and find the right one, when all the time their only correct address is accurate in the address book anyway.

Need to set up an ip for work and a different ip for home. Seems airport utility only allows one ip for the computer, and then assigns that ip to all networks. Can I set ip addresses for particle networks?

After 2 days of playing around with the new apple keyboard and mighty mouse, I thought, that's enough, and connected my logitech keyboard + mouse.
The keyboard is a big improvement, it has both windows and apple keys on it, and has a lot of extra features, like for example being able to press the 'print screen'. Even the mouse seems to work better, could ajust to the right clicking of the mighty mouse, sometimes it works, sometimes it didn't.
One think I'm still looking for is how to disable the display of widgets when you press the mouse wheel. I tried steermouse, it lets me configure the mouse wheel click as third button, but that doesn't change anything, I tried to run LCC (Logitech Control Center?) but it only showed me my keyboard.
I know how to change the keyboard shortcuts, but can't find the mouse shortcuts?...

My eMac has a CD-ROM drive (we will try and replace it in the future), but I am trying to attempt to install Mac OS X Leopard via DVD Or CD Sharing (a.k.a. Remote Disc). First, the configurations...
The eMac has a PowerPC G4 processor, and runs Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, and connects online via AirPort Extreme Wi-Fi.
The two PCs I also installed the Remote Disc software on are...
Dell Dimension PC running Windows XP Home SP3, connects via Ethernet.
HP Pavilion dv7 laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, connects via wireless.
The eMac is on the same connection as both PCs are. I can access files from the Dell, but have issues accessing the HP.
Now anyways, I did the whole kit and caboodle install for the Mac and PCs. I checked off the "Allow DVD or CD sharing" on all three computers. I even tried the Terminal commands. can fix it?

All of the permissions are setup as they were on my local computer. I need to reset the permissions so the server can manage them correctly. I have tried to do this via "get info" on the containing folder, via the server tools and via disk utility, but I have still not managed to correct the problem.

OK, I've found most of what I need to configure Lion but I can't find the preference panel to change the 'all spaces' view to the old style (where you see all the spaces or desktops placed on the screen in equal sizes). The new default 'mission control' view isn't as useful to me. I also don't see where to assign apps to a specific space. Finally, how do you get at the 'spaces' option for a hot corner?

I am new to Lion Server and OS X in general (especially Terminal and all the Unix Commands), used to Windows Server where this is a basic no-brainer in IIS Admin Tools. How can I setup the Lion Server Wiki/WebMail/and other built in webpages to run over SSL. Not sure if Apache would support SSL Hostheaders like IIS does though but if not I have a few
I have a valid externally trusted cert, changed the host name to the external name etc. The router is forwarding fine but for my life I cannot find the UI piece where I can tell all the web pages to accept SSL requests.I created a Website in the Web Pane and pointed it at 443 and that works fine so I know the router talks to the right box

I am trying to setup OS X 10.7 Lion to work as an a NIS/NFS client but without too much success so far. I posted the question originally on [url] but got not feedback yet, so I decided to test the "official" help-yourself solution. It seems that automount fails to mount my NIS shares on mac:
2012-06-27 11:15:42.254 BST - 1801.4096 - Client: Directory Utili, UID: 501, EUID: 501, GID: 20, EGID: 20
2012-06-27 11:15:42.254 BST - 1801.4096, Node: /NIS/uk.example.com, Module: nis - could not determine map for rectype 'mounts' attribute 'byname' Does anyone have an ideea why this is happening? Does anyone have a working Lion connected to NIS ? Module: nis - could not determine map for rectype 'mounts' attribute 'byname' Commands like the ones below do work, and return the same on both Ubuntu and OS X, but still OS X fails to automount them.ypcat auto.groupsypcat auto.homeypcat passwd I was able to manually mount one of the NFS exports but because the setup is complex I do need to make automount works.

I tend to "save" email addresses by remembering the first few characters, and allowing Mail to fill in the rest, from some list of addresses it saves based on who I've sent mail to in the past.
WHERE is this list saved? I now want to move to a new Mac, and I don't want to lose all my "almost saved" email addresses.

I am new to Mac and want to print addresses of family and friends on envelopes for Christmas mailing. On my PC, I was able to enter addresses into a spreadsheet and from there I could print adhesive labels to affix to envelopes. My new printer won't print labels, but it is able to print directly on envelopes. I had no extra software, just Microsoft Works. Do I have to buy software to do this, or is there a way to do this with my Macmini? It has iWorks and Pages.

I'm using mail 2.1.3 on a G4 powerbook running Mac os 10.4.11. I've switched mail servers today, and all my email addresses are now imap instead of pop. That meant I had to create new email accounts in mail, and as I did, I deleted the old ones, as I would no longer need them. Unfortunately, All of my email seems to have gone with all the old pop accounts. Did I just lose all my email??? I really need to get some of it back, its been a few months since I last backed up. I did have all of my accounts set to not delete trash for 30 days, so I'm hoping its still some where. Am I screwed? Why would Apple not warn me heavily before doing something BIG like deleting all of my email?

Does anyone know if there is a way to export email addresses from Mail? (2.1 using 10.4.11)
Mail must store them somewhere to use for its auto-fill feature.
Is it possible to extract these addresses?
We used to use Quickmail in the past which had a simple option to harvest all mail addresses for a particular inbox/outbox etc.

It seems that someone is logging on to our wireless network and we have tried changing passwords on wireless and modem with no success as they are still getting in and stealing our broadband.
This wouldn't be the end of the world if we had unlimited broadband access but alas in Australia it's 'unlimited' but only until you use up your 10gb allowance at which point your access speed will revert to dialup - ridiculous I know, especially when I'm used to unlimited actually meaning unlimited in the UK, but we've got to live with it.
So as we're now almost at our monthly limit I'm needing to stop this going on.
I've spoken to our internet service provider and my local apple store and they have suggested that I need to add all the laptops allowed to access the network to the airport utility using their MAC addresses but I can't work out how to do this and the mac store can't tell me.
My internet service provider believes it's someone on a playstation using it.
I've spoken to our neighbours in the building but everyone has denied it so I'm just going to have to block everyone.

I have a few hundred email addresses built up in my email address history. Naturally, as I begin to enter an email address in the "To" box a list of addresses automatically populates based on the letters I am typing. Most of the 600+ email addresses are not currently in my address book; nor do I want them to be. But....is there a way to export these addresses to a spreadsheet or list so I can sort through without having to add them to my address book?

The service shows running but will not give an IP address to Mac or PC. As the leases are running out on the machines they are not being renewed. I restarted the service and then the server. Then I reset the DHCP Client list.I turned on a computer lab so that they would all grab a new address.... none of them did. I logged on to a computer and told it to renew its DHCP address and nadda. If i assign a static ip they are fine
