How to connect a router to Ethernet 2 on my G5 so I can share a VPN connection?

Hi,
I have my Mac Quad G5 connected to my CableModem/Router/WiFi(we'll call it Router#1) that my ISP gave me on ETHERNET 1.
Now what I want to do, is connect a different Router/Wifi (we'll call it Router#2) to ETHERNET 2, like connect the WAN port of the router to the G5 Ethernet Port 2.
- I want to do this, so I can broadcast via Wifi (a different SSID than Router#1) what I SHARE on that ethernet port 2 through this Router#2 I mention above.
Specifically, I will go into Internet Sharing and select VPN to ETHERNET 2, so that I can output a VPN tunnel to the WAN of Router#2 and have it broadcast access via NAT to that tunnel, so my SmartTV, and other wireless devices have an access point to connect into the tunnel.
Can this be done? And how do you do it?

I do not know about VPN setup. It's an advanced configuration.
A picture of this configuration would be help. Draw on paper & scan. Use a graphics program. Click on camera to imbed png. image.
I added a second wifi router because my free verizon router support only WEP which is worthless.
Caused all sorts of confusion when I had my iMac g3 connected to verizon and my laptop connected to my 2nd router. I could not share files between my two machines. I had to connect both machines to router 2. I had to reconfigure the firewall on my iMac.

What is Ethernet 1? Is it the name of your 1st wireless network? Is it you isp's ethernet? Is it port 1 on your router?
Now what I want to do, is connect a different Router/Wifi (we'll call it Router#2)
I get this.
to ETHERNET 2.
What is Ethernet 2? Is it port two on router 1?
What is router2 connected too?
I assume that router 2 is connected to port 2 on router 1.
Specifically, I will go into Internet Sharing and select VPN to ETHERNET 2, so that I can output a VPN tunnel to the WAN of Router#2
What is this about? This implies that router 2 is connected to your g5.

How can I use VPN connection to access my Outlook email?

My company doesn't support iPhone's so I can't get any help from them -- here is my problem:
We run Outlook 2003 and they won't tell me the server name for Outlook. I have been able to connect to our Cisco VPN and access internal webpages, etc. Is there anyway I can use this VPN connection to retrieve my Outlook email?
Or is there anyway I can identify the server name I need to allow the iphone to connect to my Outlook?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, it is possible to connect via VPN. However,if IT hasn't set up ActiveSync on the internal Exchange server, this won't work anyway.
The server name for your Exchange server is in the configuration of Outlook, so you can find it and use that to connect. But that doesn't mean that things are set up correctly to have this work.
To find your server name, (this is for Outlook 2007), Tools->Options and double-click on the account under the Email tab. The server name is next to "Microsoft Exchange server" on that screen.

HT3705 How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media?

I have created a brochure and would like to post it on Facebook. How do I save a Pages document to jpeg so that I can share on social media and email? Do I have to save it as a jpeg or what other format can I save it in?

Ashe,
In Pages, Print to "PDF > Open PDF in Preview". From Preview, File > Export to the format or your choosing, one page at a time. For text, PNG would be better than JPG.

HT3728 every time my iMac sleeps or restarts it loses the connection to airport express and i must reset and connect with router via ethernet cable.

Every time my imac sleeps or restarts it loses the wireless connection with my airport express (used for streaming music). I then have to disconnect the airport express from my stereo, bring it to my router, connect it to my router with ethernet cable and reset the wireless connection. Even with my airport express in the same room as my router Airport Utility cannot find it until i plug in an ethernet cable, so i do not think this is an issue with my wireless network. Router is a newer netgear.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect. Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected. Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices. After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected. Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP. Any solutions other than turning it on and off again? Not a Merry Christmas morning.

Ok, so, a couple of things: Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod. Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel. Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem. Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet. Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod.
Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

Window 8.1 system unable to access network shares via VPN connection

Is there something inherent to Windows 8.1 that prevents it from accessing shares on a domain?
I know that it cannot join a domain, but does that also mean that it cannot access shares which are on a domain?
My problem is that I have several user that are running windows 8.1 that are connecting to our network via a VPN.
The users have domain accounts but their computers as windows 8.1 cannot joined to the domain.
So to access network shares they have to use their domain credentials to create a VPN connection.
Once connected the user can RDP to systems on the domain using their domain accounts, so I know that their user names/passwords and permissions are correct. They can access these systems using the computer name, so I don't feel that I have a DNS issue.
They can see the shares on our file server, but when they try to access their departments shared file, they receive an access denied message. There are a few shares that are completely wide open, shared to all users and all departments but they cannot access
those shares either.
You can ping the file server, from the the client when they are connected to the VPN but you just cannot access any of the shares.
So...
I am thinking that it has something to do with windows 8.1 and not being able to join a domain, but I cannot find anything to explicitly support this thought.
Other users running a variety different OS (windows 7, OSX, Linux) can all access the shares without any problems via the VPN, so I am a little stumped.

I have done some more testing and oddly enough I can map a drive if I use the IPaddress, but not the computer name, when checking the check box "connect using different credentials"and providing they users domain credentials.
This seems to point to a DNS issue, one would think, but I can hit the file share server by name \\fileserver.dev.lan
I can see all the shares, so dns seems to be fine right?
So I don't understand why I can map a drive using do the IPaddress and not the machine name, but yet I can see and ping the server by name?
When I try to create a mapped drive by machine name I receive the following message:
Windows cannot access \\fileserver.dev.lan\all
You do not have permissions to access \\fileserver.dev.lan. contact your network administrator to request access.
But if I use the \\x.x.x.x\all using the very same user and password I get connected with no problem.
This only seems to happen on windows 8.1, which leads me to think that has something to do with OS.
I am thinking about upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, but I don't want to go though the hassle and expanse is the OS is not the problem.

Copy from AFP share to AFP share (via VPN-Connection) - stupid?

Hi there
We set up an OS X server in a remote facility and are connecting to it over a VPN connection (Netgear Firewall).
Everything works fine, there's only one annoying issue: if I want to copy a file from a mounted AFP share (share1) to another mounted AFP share (share2) - both of them residing on the same server - it seems to me that the files are being copied first to my local client and then back to the server again - instead of being copied directly from and to the server...
Is there anything I can do about this issue or am I wrong? Is this a so called "feature" of the Finder itself?
Thanks for any suggestions and regards
Roman

Thanks for your thoughts about higher vs. lower latency networking - I totally agree. It might be a quite uncommon setup; as the server is being "housed" in a datacenter with quite tough restrictions: not only do they charge us for the power consumption, but also for the traffic being generated - which is 250 GB a month. They're providing an uplink with 10mbps (guaranteed), burstable to 100mbits.
Anyway, we're interested in keeping traffic low - hard to do if we cannot let end users do "common" tasks like moving files from one folder to another (of course, its a sharepoint - but they don't care).
What I'm looking for? Well, I think it will take hours to find out which part of the setup (AFP implementation of the server, AFP on the local machines, either of them on a particular version, the Finder in general...) actually might be responsible for this behavior. And maybe there's a "solution" (if you agree that this is actually a problem" buried somewhere
Regards
Roman

Does the airport express need to be connected to router with ethernet cable to work?

We are trying to set up 2 zones for streaming music. The guys at Apple sold me an airport express. However I cannot get it to connect to the internet unless it's wired directly to my wifi router. This does not work for me as the components I need to plug into it are located in another room of the house. Am I doing something wrong or am I trying to get the AX do something it can't?

The Express cannot wireless extend non apple router.. however it can join a wireless network that is non-apple and it can work as a wireless to ethernet bridge. It should be able to connect the audio output to amp or speakers. But you need to do the setup, choosing join a wireless network which is under the options and not displayed as a standard connection type in the utility.
Here is one example of doing it.

Mac and nas connected to router via ethernet

Hi,
I have movies and music stored on my nas which is hooked up to itunes on my mac over wifi. This all works quite nicely but when I want to watch movies the wifi connection just isn't quick enough so the movie doesn't play properly. I have connected the nas directly to my mac and this way it works perfectly, but I want my nas plugged into my router and also my mac plugged into the router so I haven't got to keep plugging and unplugging cable in and out of nas.
I assumed that if both the mac and the nas are plugged into the router then they would be on the same network so then i should be able to access the nas data via the cable rather than the wifi solving the issue however this encounters problems and doesn't enable me to connect to the internet.
Any ideas?

Hi, thanks for coming back to me. I certainly haven't installed any security onto my mac, does it have anything built in that could be blocking it? Regarding the firewall; am I right in saying that this would be built into the router and if so should I be able to adjust it through the admin pages?
Thanks again

How can I debug VPN connections on a Cisco ASA?

Hi,
I have a Cisco ASA and I am trying to get a Cisco 877 DSL router connected to it using the ASDM VPN wizard, but can't.
I have just had the 877 DSL router connect to my Cisco Concentrator and have simlpy changed the peer address on the router to now point to the ASA's external IP instead of the Concentrator. The Concentrator is good because I like it's real-time event viewer and it can tell me if the Concentrator is even seeing the connection attempt, but how can I dall this on the ASA?
Thanks

I can't get any Wi-Fi or 3G Network on my phone? If I'm at home I can connect to Wi-Fi but once I leave home I can't get any connection??

I just got this new iphone 4 as my old one had to be replaced.... now I can't get any internet reception via Wi-Fi or 3G... well 3G doesn't even come up and I have it Enabled. Ive checked everything... ive turned it off and on numerous times. Arghh this is soo frustrating....

Where did you get the new one? From an Apple Store? Maybe you should take it back to them and show them. If you just got it, it's got a warranty for 90 days or until the end of your original warranty, whichever is longer.

RE2000 loosing connection to router

Hi all,
I have a RE2000 v1 and a router X3500. I use RE2000 to extend wifi signal and its ethernet port to attach a small wired device behind.
Almost everyday or few days a week seems that RE2000 stop to route traffic on wifi. Ethernet device behind loose its connection to internet; my mobile phone stop to surf online if it's attached to wifi of RE2000. It's like a split-brain situation. All devices connected to router (either wired or wifi) are able to navigate. All devices connected to RE2000 cannot navigate. However, devices connected to RE2000 can see each other, so from my phone if connected to RE2000 I can reach other devices but not internet.
I do not have any suitable explaination to this. I tried to change channel settings on router, use and not use WPS, connect RE2000 to G network or to N network. No test solved the issue.
Any hint?
Stefano

Hi,
so you're right...I suspect the same behaviour. My house is split in two floors; cause it's quite old walls are made up by concrete and stones. On the upper floor where I have my studio and the extended I usually have my notebook, my mobile phone, desktop pc and printer using wifi connection.
You can see below the router wifi configuration and RE2000 wifi survey (wifi password is blanked by me)
the first strange thing in my opinion is that 5Ghz seems to have a weaker strenght than 2.4Ghz.
I've actually connected RE2000 to 2.4Ghz band.
Distance... in meters from two router is about 10 meters, but not considering the floor in the middle. Might another extender on the down floor help? Or you think that tweaking channel it's enough? I tried in past without luck but I can try again with suggestions.

How to Configure an Cisco 5505 for PPTP VPN connectivity

I currently have a Cisco ASA 5505(ASA Version 8.2(1), and ASDM gui version 6.2) and a Windows 2008 R2 server with one NIC card. Currently the router is connected to the interent sucessfully using the 'outside' interface(devices connected to the 'inside' interface have access to the internet and are assigned IP addresses via DHCP on the Windows 2008 Server which is also connected to the 'inside' interface) When connected with a client on the inside interface I can establish a VPN connection with the W2008 server, however when I try to connect through the internet I cannot. I have tried researching this on the internet, but have not had much luck. I know it has something to do with pptp port and allowing gre, but I am not familiar enough with configuring Cisco devices or the language they use, to configure this router. I feel as though I am missing something small but very critical. Any help or feedback you can provide regarding this issue is most appreicated, thank you.
*Edit: I have attached a network diagram of what I am trying to accomplish, and I have also attached a dump of the current running-config.

Hi,
Below is the link to the admin guide for the RV042. Chapter 9 covers the configuration of site to site VPN’s and begins on page 123.
