Server - name or ip address?

Hi people,

I've recently implemented a WD ShareSpace NAS on my home wireless network, which consists of a 4th gen Airport Extreme, a MBP and a Mac mini. Simple stuff. :-)

I see that I can connect using several different ways - I can use afp or smb, and I can send it either by IP address or by name.  Which way should I choose - is a way to better than the other?

No way is better than the other. But using the name may be better in the case of the NAS is configured to use DHCP, the IP address is assigned to the can change when you restart. But if you have reserved an IP address for the NAS server then you can use the IP address to connect.

  • Get the server name or IP address

    Hi guys and girls,

    I run a large Intranet and want to standardize the way in which a large part of the work of flash files. They all need some standard bits of data, but at the time where they are located in the txt files in the same path reletive as movies, when you use LoadVars, it resembles params.txt. Rather than to have 100 + param.txt files that are the same, I want to have place at the root of the server - who refer to all the flash movies. However, I don't want to hardcode the name of the server in the ACE, as if we upgrade/change servers so let's say updated of all movies. Thus, the Flash can detect the IP address of the server that she will roll on without any outside help (for example, by changing a variable as a parameter to URL in Flash)

    Thank you all
    P

    If your SWFs reside on the same server, so you can get the first part of the url.
    t = ; (if the main scenario);
    serverPath = t._url.substr(0,t._url.indexOf("/",t._url.indexOf("//")+2 var));

    for http://subdomain.domain.com/site/flash/myswf.swf

    It should give you http://subdomain.domain.com

    If that's what you want... if its ip address then that is what you will get. You can't do a search of ip to a domain name without the help of a server-side script as far as I know.

  • Form open through the IP address instead of the server name in the URL!

    Hi all

    We have forms 11 GR 2 64-bit with the JDK 7 9 on server update and updating JRE 7 25 on PC clients.

    I m facing problem in one of my customer's PC. Please note that follows;

    http://svr:9001/forms/frmservlet? form = new, it does not open my form and displays the error.

    http://192.0.0.1:9001/forms/frmservlet? form = new, it allows to open my screen successfully without any errors.

    that is when we enter the server name in the URL, it does not open my form. But when we enter the IP address of the server, its ok.

    It must use the name of the server, exactly as it is defined in the global variable, which is used to open reports. Thus, if we use

    IP in the URL address, it opens to all reports.

    This problem occurs in one of my PC, other customer client PC is OK.

    Help please!

    Thanks/regards,

    Dass.

    Hello

    as explained by Sham, but among the 'hosts' file on the local pc not the server and also the other way around

    That is to say

    SRV 192.0.0.1

    It is the local file that will be used to translate the name "srv" in the IP address of the "192.0.0.1' for the network software from the local pc power"watching"at this address.

    So when you ask "srv" the "hosts" file can be inspected and the IP address of the returned '192.0.0.1' as translation

    Verizon sent me notice that I have to change my outgoing server name. When I enter the settings of Thunderbird, there are about 3 choices in the drop-down list for the outgoing server none of them are what I need and Thunderbird will not allow me to enter a new name in this field.

  • When I transfer mail, if I click a recipient and hit return, the name of the recipient is replaced by another name in the address book.

    When I transfer the mail on ICC, if I click a recipient and hit back, the recipient's name is replaced by a different name in the address book.

    It's bug and the bug fixers are working on it as soon as possible.

    The error only occurs if you use the key "TAB" or "Enter".
    So if you physically use the mouse to select recipients, and then click on in the other field, etc. - do not use TAB or Enter, then the fault does not occur.
    As an alternative, I highly recommend that you use the following method in the selection of contacts in new e-mail messages or in the transmission of emails.

    In a new message of Scripture
    Use the "Contacts sidebar". See the image below.
    If you do not see, then activate.
    'View' > "Contacts Sidebar" or toggle the view using the f9 key
    Select the address book

  • There was a problem connecting to the server 'SERVER NAME' error guard appearing

    There was a problem connecting to the server 'SERVER NAME' error guard appearing even though the server is not on my current network.  I recently moved my iMac to a different location and a different network, and now he constantly tries to connect to the old server.  This message appears every 30 seconds and several of those who appear (see pictures) it's extremely frustrating because it makes the machine almost useless because I am constantly closing them.  No matter how many times I try to stop the activity monitor it it keeps reappearing, and I even tried a few terminal commands that I found online, then restarted the computer, but still had no success.  I would appreciate all the advice really.

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community. According to your description, it seems that you couldn't configure Gmail on Outlook and you receive error 0x800CCC0F. If I'm not mistaken you have Microsoft Outlook 2003 is installed.

    This happens usually when there are questions about the server. If you have not been able to set up the account successfully, I suggest you read this article that shows how to set up email on Outlook accounts.

    If you have configured the account successfully, but I could not send or receive e-mails, you go through this article which has troubleshooting for this issue.

    If this is not enough, you can replicate with the result, then we can help you solve more.

    Thank you!

  • Where can I find the Outlook Express Mail Server name Info

    original title; Outlook Express Mail Server name Info

    How to check or enter the name of the server for Outlook Express? I get an error message indicating that I entered the server name correctly but I don't know how to correct it. My mail will never be out fo. I have photos I am trying to send to Snapfish and they will not download.

    I've never used Snapfish, but I don't see where this has nothing to do with Outlook Express, an e-mail client. While glancing at their website, it seems that you download photos from your computer as you would to Photobucket or SkyDrive, you do not send by e-mail their. You should not need to use any e-mail program to achieve this.
