Access via network IbookG4 - MacMini

hello,
Owning an Ibook myself, I made my father buy a macmini so I could help him when he has problems with his machine ( he used to have a PC ) .
I would like to access his computer from my house via network -
I have his IP adress (static) and password to access his computer.
How do I need to configure both computer to access the files from a distance?
I'm runnig on 10.3. and his 10.4
Thank for your help.
Unless this subject has already been answered somewhere, please direct me to it.
David

You only need to enable File Sharing on his Mac mini. Then you can access it across the network for file sharing.
If you want to see and control what is happening on his Mac mini, install Share My Desktop on his Mac mini. This gives him a very easy way to enable a VNC server. Then use Chicken of the VNC on your iBook to see and access his Mac mini.

External drive access via network

I have two computers connected via wired network
When i first upgraded to leopard, i could access external hard drives connected to one computer from the other computer, now the drives do not appear, even though i have specified them as shared folders.
any ideas?

ctsurg—
having the same problem. apple seems to be clueless as to why this 10.5.1 has a problem accessing external drives that are networked via hub by a rj-45 connector. i manage a small outfit an have another mac that runs 10.4.11 the networked external storage drive shows up fine. when i've tried to connect to the external from 10.5.1 no such luck. what is interesting is that 10.5.1 may connect or may not depending on the day. when it does connect it's buggy. it may show up 2 or 3 hours later under the shared option in the left column or the shared column will not show up at all. my next step is to return to 10.4.11.

I assume my Apple TV should allow me to view all events, albums and slideshows in my iPhotos app but it only allows four events and four albums to display on my television. I'm using a Optus mini Wi Fi for my home network. Could this be the reason for limited access via my iMac computer?
Chris

No, I have not chosen photos to share as I assumed that the Apple TV would access all photos and music that are stored on my iMac.
Thanks for your advice. I will check it out.

Network camera access via airport extreme ie: i need to assign a port and a

please help me i have a cabin in the mountains that is off the grid... and i use solar power... i have my internet access via wifi and an antenna... it goes to a d-link router in my electric room then from there via a cat 5 cable to a apple airport extreme base station... and i would like to plug the camera into the base station via a cat 5 cable....
i am trying to set up a network camera to via a airport extreme base station.... the tech support on the camera end (airlink 101 skyIP cam500 model aicn500) said to enable port 80 and to assign a IP address (which i have)... apple support has been unable to help me after almost 1 hour with tech support.... here is what the camera tech support page suggests....
You will now need to forward the Second HTTP Port through your router to the IP address of the camera. If you have an AirLink101 router, we have instructions in our knowledge base for port forwarding. If you have a router from another company, you will need to contact them for instructions on port forwarding.
When accessing the camera from a remote location you will need to open a browser and type in the internet IP address of your network (not the ip address of the camera) and the port into a web browser. The address and port will need to be typed in like this:
http://x.x.x.x:port
x.x.x.x = Internet IP address
port = Second HTTP Port
Here is an example of what it would look like: http://123.123.123.123:81
can anyone please help me?

i can not thank you enough for taking the time time to help me!!! i really appreciate it.... i have done the set up with the d link router and am now trying to access the camera from the web.... but i am having trouble logging in and finding it? i am not sure what ip address to enter into my web browser? i think that i need to add the ip addresss folllowed by a forward slash and then the port # 80.... but what ip address should i add? in the device info part of the d link router i have found a number of ip address's... but none of them seem to work? what am i doing wrong? or not doing? my apple base station is set up in the bridge mode with a password to protect it...
thanks again...

Accessing a network resource via javascript

Hello,
we have been using Adobe Reader for linux provided by the yum repository for quite some time, without major issues. Currently, however, we are seeing a mysterious problem with a PDF form which is designed to exchange data with a local server, using javascript functionality, as far as I can see. On one of our machines (running CentOS 5.8 64-bit) this has stopped working recently, and I cannot figure out why. Clicking the respective field simply has no effect, there is no error message, neither in the Reader window, or on the console, both in normal mode and debug mode. Nothing in the system logs either. The function simply seems to be ignored!
Some observations which might be helpful:
1. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Reader package, after clearing all personal preferences, did not have any effect.
2. Using a fresh version of the PDF form did not solve the problem.
3. Firewall and SElinux are disabled anyway.
4. With a "clean" account on the same machine, the same problem occurs.
5. On a very similar machine (same OS, same Reader version) the operation is working properly!
So it seems to be something specific to this machine, but not specific to a certain account. It is obviously neither a corrupted Reader installation, nor a problem with this specific reader version, nor a corrupted PDF form. Now I am running out of ideas...
Any suggestions what else might be preventing network access (via javascript) from functioning properly? Javascript itself is (by default) enabled in the preferences.
Thanks in advance
Oliver

Sorry for the double post, but help would be appreciated...

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted

Can not access home network via ipod touch, password entered not accepted
Trying to help my son set up his ipod touch to connect to the network and the password I entered is not accepted.
1. Which password is required? I entered the password I use for logging into my router
2. The home network is recognized, when selected it requires a password to be entered, but I am just not sure what password it is looking for to connect.
I have not been able to find any information on this subject

jersey0904, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need to enter the wireless encryption password... not the administrative password for the router.

Network Camera Access Via Internet

I have a d-link network camara. I connect it to my FE04 router (1811). How do I setup to have my people access to this camera by having them to enter ip address in internet with userid and password?

dynamic dns:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4/ip_addr/configuration/guide/ht_ddns.html
As for the firewall, nobody can access your network because of nat. IOS also has firewall, but in most cases it is not necessary.
Hope this helps, please rate post if it does!

How can I access a network harddisk from a OS9 Computer?

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and a hard disk connected to it. I can access the disk from all MacOS X computers, but I want to use it primarily with my TAM, running MacOS 9.2.2. It is directly connected via network cable to the base station. The ideal solution would be a drive that mounts directly on my TAM's desktop, just as it does in X.
Some people told me a software called "DAVE" could help, but the OS9 versions are obviously not available anymore. Is anyone here who knows how to do the trick or where to get this old software?
Thanks!

Hi, Retrowurst -
Since the disk images mount okay when the drive is connected directly to the TAM, the issue would appear to not be an incompatibility of disk image vs. OS 9.
That pretty much leaves the software running the connection via IP.
Do a little test -
- Restart the TAM. After the desktop has loaded, and before running any other program, look in About This Computer (top of Apple menu). How much RAM is allocated for the Mac OS?
- Then try to mount one of the disk images. Assuming the mount operation again fails, clear the error message and look in About This Computer again. How much is shown now for Mac OS?
Unlike most other control panels in OS 9, TCP/IP is not an application. That means its functions rely on using additional OS resources to do its work. And, unlike most apps, the OS has the privelege of having dynamic memory allocation, meaning the OS can increase its own allocation when needed, provided there is sufficient memory available contiguous to what it is already using.
How much physical RAM is in the machine? If you have Virtual Memory active, what is is set to?
How big are the disk images? If they are very large, it is possible the config is choking on the file size. In OS 9, firewire has a functional limit of about 2GB per file for transferring (copying) purposes. I don't know if ethernet has a similar limit.

Remote TC access via port forwarding

I have been trying to setup my network for remote TC access via port forwarding. Here's my setup:
Verizon FiOS router (main router, dhcp & nat) -> connected to TC set in bridge mode with a static IP
I can remotely access the TC using Back to my Mac with no problems, and of course locally on the home network via Wifi.
Since the TC has to connect in bridge mode, port forwarding is done on the FiOS router.
If I set a port forwarding rule in the FiOS router TCP,UDP (any) to port 548, it works. However I want to use a specific connection port
so others can't connect unless they know the forwarded port. BTW, I have remote disk sharing set with Use Device Password.
So here's what works:
FiOS Router (TCP any -> 548, UDP any ->548)
What doesn't work:
FiOS router (TCP 8990 -> 548, UDP 8990 -> 548).
Is there any additional setting required for specific port forwarding to work?

You're my hero!
I also have my TC in Bridge Mode to my Verizon FIOS Router. I used to be able to access my TC remotely, but since I upgraded my router (MI424WR GigE), I had forgotten some port forwarding rules I must have established in my old router. Once I re-created these two port forwarding rules (just like yours), I can remote access my TC (with TC password) again.
In addition, I have a static host name aliased to my dynamic IP address through dyndns.org (I have the free version, which I don't think is available anymore, but there are other free providers out there) for easier remote access.
Regarding, Secure Share Disks: with TC password vs a disk password. Is one more secure than the other?
Thanks!

Slow access on Network-folders

Hello forum,
I have a big problem with the speed of Indesign Server, when i try to access a Network path.
The Server is running and gets a script via SOAP and everything is working well, except the speed. Within the script i open a document, which is placed in a network folder :
(Command: doc = app.open("\\\\server-ip\\path\\file.indt");
This process lasts almost 10 seconds, and after that, everthing runs fast.
When i place the file on the local machine, the script runs in less then a second.
It is only slow at the first time i access the network path (within the one script), i.e. when i place a file from the network with 'doc.place()' after the opening, it is fast.
I use Windows Server 2003 32bit, Indesign Server CS3,
and the files are on a SuseLinux 10.1 with Samba.
help would be welcome
greets
Michael Rupp

Network assets are discouraged. I'd suggest you to copy the files into a local directory before using them inside your script.

Error Message when trying to access My Network thr...

I'm getting the following message when I try to access My Network or PC Health Check via the BT Desktop Help screens.
Unexpected error
BT Desktop Help encountered a technical issue trying to diagnose the problem on your computer.
We advise you to restart BT Desktop Help and try again. If restarting BT Desktop Help doesn't resolve this issue then we recommend you restarting your computer.
Any suggestions how to gain access or resolve this problem ?

I've just had the same problem after updating today. I've tried the usual uninstall; reboot and clean installation and it still falls over when doing any kind of job with it e.g. PC Health Check. Looking at the dates in this thread and those about the same issue in previous threads, I think BT have only just releaed this update. I guess BT and hasn’t properly tested it. I shall uninstall it and consider a fresh install in a few weeks when perhaps they may have got it sorted out. A bit ironical since this new release was partly intended as a bug fix in itself!

No access via webinterface possible

hey,
i'm working with oracle 11g for a few weeks now. But now i have a problem and need some help.
Yesterday, i deleted the database and created a new one. afterwards i configured the listener. during the listener configuration i recieved a port error (standard port is used by another application). i told oracle to go on because i thought the error ocured because of another application in the background, but i was wrong.

who can help me to get webaccess again?
cu and thx

Inkjet 2800 on different windows connected via network

Hello,
Im using windows 7 Pro, and I can't access a printer which is connected via network on another computer with windows XP.
The problem is that, when I install the printer on windows 7, it works as long it's connected to my computer,
but, when i unplug the printer and reconnect it back to computer with XP, i'm unable to use the priter, although i installed the drivers already.
the printer is shared,i can see it on network, but can't connect to it.
the problem is only with inkjet 2800 printer,
as i use hp Laserjet cp1215 which is on the XP computer, but works fine.
Thank you in advance.

Hello cesco,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having a communication issue when attempting to print on two separate printers at the same time.
This will be a communication issue for sure. The computer can only send to one printer at a time. You will have to print to one printer, wait for it to finnish the print job and then send it to the other printer.
There is no way that you can print from one computer to two separate printers at the same time.
Thanks for your time.
