THANK YOU SO MUCH ! I’ve had this issue of connexion between my computer and aiport express/airtunes since I switched from an old ZyXel to ZyXel 660H, I could not find a good solution online for several months and was really annoyed. You saved the day

ZyXEL UK: you might want to say something about it to your counterparts Switzerland as ZyXEL is the most common router sent to customer of Sunrise, a large phone company…

You don’t need software for the router, the router itself comes with the software (and the above configuration pages) pre-installed. You just use a web browser to view them.

I’d suggest going and asking at ZyXel support; I’m sure they’ll be able to talk you through it.

I’m having the same problem with using the remote app on my iphone. I don’t have any software for the router so I can’t follow any of the instructions above. I have a mac but I can not see any options to enable multicast or IGMP.
Please help. I’ve been searching for the last 2 months for a solution!

Thanks,
Phil

1. To track your USPS parcel, click here USPS TRACKING
2. Enter your tracking number, for example CP xxxxx US
3. My parcel entered UK customs on the 15’th of June 2010 and stopped moving. “Into Foreign Customs, June 15, 2010, 11:12 am, GREAT BRITAIN”
4. I waited till 22 June and then decided to do my own enquiries. I quickly got a few pointers off the net and the next step seemed to be to convert the USPS tracking number to a Parcelforce number.
5. Click here PARCELFORCE TRACKING. Remember to tick “Incoming International Parcel?” and enter your USPS number (CP xxx US)
6. The Parcelforce tracking number you receive will be something along the lines of EC xxxx GB
7. In my case, the Parcelforce site confirmed the USPS site: “AWAITING CUSTOMS CHARGING”
8. It’s a bit of a drag phoning Customs on +442476212860 – expect it to be engaged – so have a coffee in hand whilst you just keep on pressing the redial button . I got through in under 5 minutes and didn’t have to sit and listen to an irritating tune while the meter is running. I had to dial them more than once – simply to verify Parcelforce’s excuses – but more on that later. Have your Parcelforce ECxxxxGB number ready because that’s what you will be asked for almost immediately by the friendly customs lady. Surprise! Customs released the parcel at 14:53 on 16 June already – she could even tell me how much I had to pay – but that had to happen through Parcelforce – of course.
9. I immediately phoned Parcelforce with the happy news that they have one happy customer with money to burn immediately: +4408448004466 ☺. But no, it was not to be ☹ — welcome to the Parcelforce runaround…”Sorry sir, the parcel must be stuck in a trailer at customs “the apologetic lady explained. “So why say sorry if it’s not Parcelforce’s fault?”, I obligingly enquired. ”As a matter of courtesy, Sir” she quickly responded”
10. Mmm…so the customs lady was not so helpful, after all? Back to sipping my coffee and pressing the now familiar customs redial button. Once again, less than 5 minutes, and the same friendly customs lady, still just as helpful. And it was clear that Parcelforce itself has a backlog – not customs. She even gave me the Parcelforce MD number: +441908687249 where it was confirmed that yes indeed, it’s stuck somewhere in a Parcelforce trailer because of a backlog and yes, the customer service’s lady’s knowledge needs to be updated…she did in fact appologise on Parcelforce’s behalf to begin with.
11. So, am I any better off? No, as far as getting the parcel to move on, I failed. Yes, at least I know where the holdup is, that I’ll have to fork out another GBP8,00 for the privelage of not being updated and having to waste time and money for a very poor service. And at least I can help you save time if ever you’re faced with the same problem

Now everything’s up and running, I’m extremely happy with my new ZyXEL router; far better than the old Belkin one, and with the kind of detailed configuration options a geek likes to see, and very good wireless coverage.

ZyXEL UK

You have completely summed up my feelings about the farce that is Royal Mail and Parcel Force. Even in today’s society of poor service and fuck you attitudes, RM and PF are shocking in their incompetence and lack of concern about said incompetence. Shocking.

In the last day alone the following words were used in Tweets about them: certifiable morons, pricks, arsefholefarce, parcelfarce, load of shite

I totally agree with your summary, but unfortunately in sending from abroad to the UK business gets diverted their way..

Running the launchctl script will only set up the rebuild of the locate database to be run as a job once a week. If you want to build the locate database right now, try:

sudo /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate

…hopefully that’ll still work in Snow Leopard, which I guess is the OS you’re using? This article was written for Leopard, so some things may have moved around a little.

Also, if that command works, it will still take take some time to complete. The “locate” database is basically a cache of all the filenames on your entire hard drive, so it takes time to build…
