Terminal Server default gateway configuration - configuration

Our Terminal Server (TS) is only accessible on one network, therefore I believe the default gateway has not been set correctly or needs to be updated.
I am looking for the commands in a telnet session to:
1. Review the current configuration of the terminal servers default gateway ip address and,
2. The command to set it if it needs to be changed.
The TS is a :
N-Base Xyplex Max Server 1640
I Have reviewed some on line documentation but can't really find a clear solution but I am also not a network tech!
Many Thanks

Hope this may come in handy for others:
To set gateway address:
ENTER GATEWAY IP ADDRESS [0.0.0.0]:
Good instruction manual available here
Still not sure how to check current gateway setting.

MySQL queries coming on TCP instead of MySQL Protocol

I'm trying to capture MySQL activities through my web application and MySQL Server by using Wireshark on Windows. I've seen that most of questions about capturing packets related to MySQL return MySQL Protocol and the possibility of seeing the queries sent and their responses. Yet, when running Wireshark and using my application, I see only TCP packets coming and going, as can be seen in the pictures in the links below.
TCP Packet -> Src - Dst
Inside TCP Packet
It's important to note that I've used tools like tshark and WinDump to collect packets through the network, but nothing worked.
Am I doing something wrong or it's a Wireshark bug?
Thanks for the answers!
I did what was suggested by Christopher following Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols -> MySQL. There was nothing like "Port Number", but the issue was that "Show SQL Query string in INFO column" was not selected.
The image provided indicates that the port in use is 3307, but the MySQL dissector registers by default on port 3306, which is the IANA-registered port for mysql traffic. So, when a non-standard port is used, you must make use of the "Decode As" feature of Wireshark, as nnovich-OK has already mentioned.
Another option in many cases, which unfortunately is not yet available in this case, is to change the port number that the dissector registers for. The MySQL dissector does not offer a port preference though, but you could open a Wireshark bug report asking for such a preference to be added - even better if you submit a patch that actually implements it. Once a preference is available, then you could set it as desired via Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols -> MySQL -> Port Number, similar to how many other dissectors allow a configurable port.
Wireshark has some logic which automatically determines type of traffic observed. I don't know the reason for it to fail in your case, but you can always manually point to the desired protocol. Right click on one of your TCP packets, click on "decode as" and choose "MySQL" in the last column.

Couchbase Server unable to start

Is it Ip address Problem ? My Ip address Is 10.219.59.102 but it looking for 10.219.59.100.
It sounds like the IP address the node was originally configured for has changed. If you don't specify a hostname as the node's name when you first configured the node, Couchbase will attempt to auto-detect the node's public IP address and use that. However if that IP address changes then it runs into problems.
Take a look at the Install guide, specifically the section on Using hostnames for how to change a node's name.

Google Compute VM hacked, now what?

I've been running my Google Compute VM for literally 1 day, and I was hacked, by this IP: http://www.infobyip.com/ip-121.8.187.25.html
I'm trying to understand what I can do next (user connected via ssh, root password was changed), to avoid these types of attacks (and to understand more than what /var/log/auth.log is telling me) ?
I assume you deleted the instance already, right ? from Developers console.
As suggested, always use ssh rsa keys to connect to your instance, instead of passwords. Additionally, depending on where you want access from, you can only allow certain IPs through the firewall. Configuring the firewall along with iptables, gives you better security.
You may also want to take a look at sshguard. Sshguard will add iptables rules automatically when it detects a number of failed connection attempts.
Just to make sure, please change the default port 22 in /etc/ssh/sshd_config to something else.

Unable to connect to Amazon web service mysql instance

I went through these instructions:
http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonRDS/latest/GettingStartedGuide/
But still can't connect to the database using mysql from the command line.
I even tried:
telnet xxxxxxx.clpkcufglfdn.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com 3306
but that doesn't connect either.
I did set up the DB security group using the CIDR suggested by the console (I hope it give me the right value).
Update: Firewalls are disabled on my end. It would be odd if amazon had firewalls on their end and wouldn't mention it in their documentation.
Update2: I'm behind a wireless router which had assigned my machine the IP of 10.0.0.2 so I tried adding that to the security groups but still can't connect.
Update: Firewalls are disabled on my end. It would be odd if amazon had firewalls on their end and wouldn't mention it in their documentation.
Amazon's security groups are a firewall.
I did set up the DB security group using the CIDR suggested by the console (I hope it give me the right value).
If it's not the IP you're connecting from, it's not the right value.
Sounds like you have a firewall that is dropping your connection. Either it is on your end or Amazon's end; probably need to talk to your IT group and if that isn't the issue then Amazon's group to see if you missed a step.
If you are trying to access a RDS instance from within the same AWS datacenter you need to specify a local internal IP address (i.e. 10.x.x.x) and not the public dns/ip as your connection simply doesn't go out of the lan
You can find the local IP address of your EC2 box by typing: ifconfig OR checking your login name (i.e. ubuntu#10.x.x.x)
I didn't find this anywhere and wasted a lot of time. I hope this helps!

Trouble setting up witness in SQL Server mirroring scheme w/ error

I've got a trio of Windows servers (data1, data2 and datawitness) that aren't part of any domain and don't use AD. I'm trying to set up mirroring based on the instructions at http://alan328.com/SQL2005_Database_Mirroring_Tutorial.aspx. I've had success right up until the final set of instructions where I tell data1 to use datawitness as the witness server. That step fails with the following message:
alter database MyDatabase set witness = 'TCP://datawitness.somedomain.com:7024'
The ALTER DATABASE command could not be sent to the remote server instance 'TCP://datawitness.somedomain.com:7024'. The database mirroring configuration was not changed. Verify that the server is connected, and try again.
I've tested both port 7024 as well as 1433 using telnet and both servers can indeed connect with each other. I'm also able to add a connection to the witness server from SQL Server Manager on the primary server. I've used the Configuration Manager on both servers to enabled Named Pipes and verify that IP traffic is enabled and using port 1433 by default.
What else could it be? Do I need any additional ports open for this to work? (The firewall rules are very restrictive, but I know traffic on the previously mentioned ports is explicitly allowed)
Caveats that are worth mentioning here:
Each server is in a different network segment
The servers don't use AD and aren't part of a domain
There is no DNS server configured for these servers, so I'm using the HOSTS file to map domain names to IP addresses (verified using telnet, ping, etc).
The firewall rules are very restrictive and I don't have direct access to tweak them, though I can call in a change if needed
Data1 and Data2 are using SQL Server 2008, Datawitness is using SQL Express 2005. All of them use the default instance (i.e. none of them are named instances)
After combing through blogs and KB articles and forum posts and reinstalling and reconfiguring and rebooting and profiling, etc, etc, etc, I finally found the key to the puzzle - an entry in the event log on the witness server reported this error:
Database mirroring connection error 2 'DNS lookup failed with error: '11001(No such host is known.)'.' for 'TCP://ABC-WEB01:7024'.
I had used a hosts file to map mock domain names for all three servers in the form of datax.mydomain.com. However, it is now apparent that the witness was trying to comunicate back using the name of the primary server, which I did not have a hosts entry for. Simply adding another entry for ABC-WEB01 pointing to the primary web server did the trick. No errors and the mirroring is finally complete.
Hope this saves someone else a billion hours.
I'd like to add one more sub answer to this specific question, as my comment on Chris' answer shows, my mirror was showing up as disconnected (to the witness) Apperently you need to reboot (or in my case i just restarded the service) the witness server.
As soon as i did this the mirror showed the Witness connection as Connected!
