Connecting to mac hosting filemaker

having problem finding server from outside computers trying to connect to powermac hosting filemaker 8 databases. i have mac laptop with cablemodem and airport extreme. network is extended with express to desktop. i am able to connect to homepage from laptop using either safari or explorer from virtual pc. when i try to access from computer at work get cannot find server....tried switch port to 591...this doen't work...i think this is an issue with firewall or network...please help

Hi I currently use Filemakerpro. I have it turned on, on my mac mini in my office 24/7 and log into it from my home with a powerbook.
I have the mac mini connected to a Linksys router with the port forwarded to 2003 and it usually works fine.
Sometimes I can't log in and the only way I know how to fix it is by rebooting the mac mini in the office. The problem is no one is in the office when I need to reboot.
I was thinking of using some remote program like Apple remote desktop. Can I use that to log in the the mac mini in my office and reboot it. Or perhaps the same problem that will not let me into filemaker wont let Apple remote log in either. Sometimes when I can't log in to Filemaker pro, I CAN log into the web page in the filemaker pro folder with a web browser.
Do you know what may be the problem?

    It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
    I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
    So what to do, what to do.
    Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
    I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
    When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
    Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
    The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
    It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
    So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
    The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
    So what you will have to do is this:
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

  • I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
    A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
    You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

  • Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal? For example, telnet ip address of other machine

    Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal?
    For example, telnet <ip address of other machine>
    I m a networking student and I have learned to connect 2 machines on Red hat Linux OS on same Ethernet LAN which has same subnet mask. As Mac OS X is also a linux based OS I m trying to connect my Mac with my friends windows based machine using telnet <ip address of his machine>. However, I get a message "unable to connect to remote host".
    Can anyone please tell me is this the problem because of different OS or it is something different!
    Please reply...it will of great help..

    The machine you're trying to connect to needs a Telnet server running on it - telnetd listening on port 23 (usually).
    Incidentally, Mac OS X is not a Linux based OS, it is based on BSD Unix.

  • Cannot Connect to local host

    from the xserv where i am setting up a website i cannot access local host which is preventing me from setting up phpmyadmin config file. I open safari and type in http://localhost/ and i get the error message cannot connect to local host. I can access the server using the ip (no domain setup yet). I am a novice at setting up web serves in the mac/apache environment so i may have missed a simple step somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    No expert here, but have you tried http://127.0.0.1 ?
    Might get better help in the xserve, or Server forums here.

  • "The connection to the host was unexpectedly lost" Cannot log into AIM

    Every time I try to log into ichat, using AIM service I get this message...
    The connection to the host was unexpectedly lost.
    However, I can log onto ichat on my other mac. (macbook) And I can access AIM from AIM program on my windows computer....
    Everything in preferences is configured right...Can anyone shed some light onto this?
    thanks,
    Joel

    I have this problem, using ichat only (not using aim directly) and posted before in another thread with essentially the same name as this one. I tried all the solutions offered and none worked. BUT I did "solve" my problem. Here's how:
    Solution number 1) I connected my macbook via an ethernet connection directly to my cable modem. No other changes at all, no further problems, was able to use ALL features of ichat immediately and quite well (audio and video).
    Solution number 2) Since we have several computers at home, we must use a wireless router, a Netgear router. If I connect to the router (which then connects to the cable modem), ichat does not work, and I get the exact message as in this subject line. Going to the Netgear router settings (changing nothing on my macbook), I changed ONE thing only: I disabled the SPI firewall. Then, no problem using ichat to chat, but I still can't use audio or video features.
    Hope this helps. For me, it diagnosed the problem with using basic ichat: the SPI firewall on the router. Also, the audio/video problem is a router problem too, which I do not yet know how to fix.
    Since I am timid and fearful, I do not want to leave the SPI firewall permanently disabled.

  • Ichat losing connection with aim host

    powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi Irobin,
    I am puzzled by this at the moment.
    Deleting the .plist file would normally sort this.
    Can you create a test Mac User account on your Mac.
    Set up iChat with exactly the same Screen name in this new account.
    Does this work ?
    You will only see the screen names unless you export the other (Mac Account) Address Book details and import them into this account's one. This can be done though the Backup option the Address Bok has.

  • 'Connect to Remote Host' is disabled

    Hello
    We have recently upgraded to CS4. I have imported all of my old connections without problem.
    My boss recently asked to show him how to upload files to a certain site. Setup site as usual on his machine, but where I can click my 'Connect to Remote Host' button and see all of the server files, my boss' button is disabled and shows a message about setting up version control first.
    We do not want to do this, only to access the server just like we did before. Can version control be turned off? Or is it a different problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Gareth

    Hi David
    Everything that you said is how it is already setup.
    Access set to None.
    Within Manage Sites > Remote Info all the FTP connection is correct, and has been tested.
    He is actually already using the site, but only through GET and PUT commands, never being able to actually see what is on the server!
    I created the site on my machine a while ago (before updating to cs4), and I wondered if it was something to do with that? I had just made some amends to the site before setting the FTP up in Dw on my boss' Mac.
    As mentioned, below the button, in the space where the server files should display, the message reads "to see the files in the repository you must define the version control settings", which are currently set to NONE.
    cheers

  • Non .mac host - file querey/disaster!!!

    I have a non mac host for my web site which I had successfully uploaded Captain FTP (it was completely fine) but when I tried to update the site with Cyberduck it seemed to be working (ie it appeared I had a connection and files were uploading) but then didnt update properly so I started to fiddle... a bad mistake as I really dont know what I am doing.
    I deleted all the files on the domain site. They were my web pages, index and a couple of others bin.cgi (?)from memory and another one. I assumed they were all to do with the old web site and then I uploaded the iweb published folder (which works well when I view it locally) and the index file. They seem to upload properly and the ftp client says its connected to my domain but I just get an error when I try to view the page with a browser
    <<Not Found
    <<The requested URL / was not found on this server.
    <<Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat) Server at www.movingmoments.com.au Port 80
    I am also unable to view my control panel (manager) at the hosting site.
    Usually I am prompted for a password when I type
    my domain/host(name) into the browser address.
    domain is

    Thanks for any help. Its late here and the hosting company is not available for help until morning and this is urgent...
    Hmm. That will teach me for fiddling.
    Leanne

    Thanks for that. I figured that must be the case.
    I have been playing around with it for a few hours in the vain hope that I would stumble across a solution but I guess I'll just have to give up and wait until the morning...Its 2:30 am so I suppose its time to get to bed.
    Cheers,
    Leanne
    Thanks for your help pages by the way!

    We don't need route print on the PC for now as I can explain what is happening I can get complete access to the 192.168.2.0/24 (VLAN 1000) but for 192.9.200.0/24 (VLAN 4000) above from the switch I can only ping IP's on the switches/pair but cannot have any tcp connections, which explains the default route being pointed on the switch is on VLAN 1000, now my issue is How do I get access to VLAN 4000 as you can see these two are on different Interfaces/zones on the ASA and please note with default gateway pointing to ASA I will have access to both the VLAN's it is only when I move the gateway pointing to Switch I loose tcp connections to one VLAN depending on the default route  on the being pointing to on the switch.
    So we are left to do with how to on the switch with default route.

  • I have a Macbook Pro 13.3 i5 w/ no hdmi port. How can I connect my Mac to TV to watch video, photo ?  Is the Thunderbolt port a mini display port where I can use a mini display port to HDMI cable? If not, what are my options??

    I have a Macbook pro 13.3 w/ i5 that has no hdmi port. I want to be able to connect the Mac to my TV set to watch Video, Photos and files from Mac to TV.
    Is the Thunderbolt port similar to a display port or mini display port? Can I use thunderbolt port to connect thru a mini displayport to HDMI cable or converter?
    Been trying to locate a USB to HDMI cable or converter (at a reasonable price) but all I found is a displayport or mini displayport to HDMI cable/converter.
    What other options are available ?
    Thanks a lot for your assistance.

    Thunderbolt uses a Mini DisplayPort adapter to send video and audio to HDMI. Here's some on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_2_8?url=search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-ke   ywords=mini+displayport+to+hdmi&sprefix=mini+dis%2Caps%2C249#/ref=nb_sb_noss?ur l  =search-alias%3Dcomputers&field-keywords=mini+displayport+to+hdmi+with+audio&rh =  n%3A172282%2Cn%3A!493964%2Cn%3A541966%2Ck%3Amini+displayport+to+hdmi+with+audio

    This could be an issue with that vintage Tv.
    Svideo is more fitted for video player input.
    Go to http://eshop.macsales.com/ to see what options are available.
    If you send them an email, they will help if you don't see option.
    Prior to sending them mail, select the exact model you have from the
    list of the MacPro's and any other details.
    Is there a reason your still at 10.4.11?
    Also, Apple Tv streams to my Tv's.
    May just have to do a Craigslist search and pick up a worthy Tv with HDMI ports.

    How to connect my Mac Air 13" to my Philips display with DVI and VGA ports?

    Use a DVI to micro-DVI adapter if you're on an original MacBook Air, and a Mini DisplayPort adapter for a newer one.
