SMB not working from outside the local network

Hi guys..
I've set up a storage server so that users can log in remotely and access their files. I have two connections I want to use, AFP and SMB. The AFP connections work great. No matter where our mac users are, they can log in through the net and get to their shares.
With SMB, I'm currently having a nightmare! I can't log in from other internet connections. I've checked and double checked routers, ports, etc. I have even turned everything (in terms of firewalls) off for testing. Still nothing with SMB. BUT - If I connect to the same machine with smb://127.0.0.1/ I can log in fine. If I try to connect with smb://<server ip address> then it still doesn't work.
I either get one of these 2 messages:
Data could not be read or written.
Username and Password are incorrect (even though I havn't supplied a username or password yet!)
Any help will be golden! Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot for the feedback.. Turns out the connection i'm testing it on (Virgin Media) does block SMB (port 445). Before I look into VPN, is it possible to change the port that SMB is operating on?
Is it easy to log in with VPN through WindowsXP? Can I send a similar string like smb:user:password@server to gain access to a VPN share through windows? Even through cmd will be fine as I intend on writing a program that can do that. I just need to know if it's possible. As I said, forgive my stupidity, I've never setup VPN before.. I think it's the only thing I havn't really dabbled in yet..
Thanks!

SMB not working from outside local network

Hello,
On my old MacBook I installed OS X Server to create a file sharing server. I set it up using my public IP address so that I could access my files from outside the local network. I don't have an Apple router, but I found the port number for SMB and AFP and did the port forwarding. My issue is that smb stopped working. It used to work out side the network because it tested it. My Mac can still connect though outside the local network using my public IP. I have no clue why SMB is not working as it was working recently. My only idea is that I got a new modem from my ISP. Could that make a difference? I don't get it because AFP still works fine. File sharing using SMB is checked in the server app and file sharing preferences so it is not that. I am using OS X 10.8.4 on a MacBook running OS X Server version 2.2.1. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

Is it a modem only, or is it a modem/router that might be creating a double-NAT on your network?
Incidentally, since you're running Server, you might want to use the built-in VPN gateway to give yourself better security - tunneling AFP/SMB through a router/firewall is pretty insecure.

Windows server anywhere access not working from outside the lan

ok so heres what i have done so far i installed windows server 2012 essential on a computer followed the wizard to add a couple of users and gave them anywhere access followed the wizard and ran the anywhere access to completion setup the ports 80 and 443
on router manually to forward to my router ip 10.0.1.20
my server is still on dynamic ip
then i go to a windows 7 ultimate computer whent to the connect url downloaded the connect tool ran to completion and restarted the computer so far everything working inside my lan i can connect to the server see shared files and open the dash management
now i go outside connect to a wired or wireless network of a friend and try to connect to http://xxxxxxx.remotewebaccess.com
but am unsuccessfull then i check on my network adapter page and see that there is a new adapter that is called as my remotewebaccess.com so i click on it and try to connect but still fails........
please help what am i doing wrong?
i checked everywhere and cant find a solution.
Thank you

It is probably better to assign a static IP to your server, but OTH it may not change. But you really hate to go off on vacation and have the ip change and everything break.
Now you said you forwarded ports 80 and 443 to your router, I bet you meant your server?
Do www.whatismyip.com and from outside ping xxxx.remotewebaccess.com and make sure they are true same ip
From a PC or the server on your network go to grc.com and do shields up and make sure it reports 80 and 443 as open

Is it possible to access my TimeCapsule from outside my local network via internet? If so what is the best app that can help me?

iCloud can do it..
http://www.apple.com/au/support/icloud/back-to-my-mac/
You need Lion and latest firmware on the TC..
Were you hoping to use the ipad/iphone?? That maybe possible but I am not sure how.
You cannot use windows without opening SMB to some strange port and this is going to mess with security.. you also need a static ip address from your ISP.. most private net users do not have this.
You can do it via vpn.. you will need to buy a vpn router and bridge the TC to it.
Just google remote access time capsule.. there are a zillion posts about it.

Which ports do I open so QT Broadcast is seen from outside a local network?

I need some help with proper port settings using QT Broadcaster Version 1.5 (113) from mac to mac (running X.4.5 on all systems). I am able to send a Live QT Broadcast to my local network no problem but the broadcast is not seen from outside of my own local Network.
I’m assuming I must first address port settings on my cable modem and / or a Belkin gateway 4 port router.
The Broadcast works fine on all 4 of my macs connected via ethernet to a Belkin 4 port router which in turn is connected to a Toshiba PCX2500 cable modem.
I’m guessing the Toshiba modem is the problem and not the Belkin router. I say this because when I remove the router completely my Broadcast is still not seen by anyone from the outside. This leads me to believe that the cable modem may be the culprit. But then again I’m at a loss to know which ports to open up so others on the internet can also view my broadcast. Please note I do not wish to broadcast to more than one person at a time. Hence no need for QTSS or DSS.
To the best of my knowledge QT Broadcaster in itself should suffice from one mac to another w/o the need for a server. Is this correct? If not, I do have Darwin loaded to another separate mac system in the event I must first use it to reflect this braodcast.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated & please pardon my second post on the same subject / QT Broadcaster which I have slighly reworded in hope of getting some help.

Remote Server Admin not working from outside of network for 1 server

Our company recently changed ISPs and I had to change our two 10.4 server's IP addresses. We have a mail server (intel xserve) and a file/web server (quicksilver g4). Both servers have two network cards in them. The problem is two-fold:
1- I can successfully manage the Xserve machine locally on our network and from my home. However, I can only manage the Quicksilver g4 server locally. Any kind of external access is not even acknowledged.
2- I'm not sure if I missed any steps when changing IP addresses for these server-based computers. Also, I'm not sure if I correctly set our dns names to the correct IP address.
For some background, this is the exact IP update process I used for each server:
Quicksilver G4 (file/web server) - Installed network card #2 and configured it with the new Public IP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. In Server Admin I set our website to use the new public IP address. (network card #2 has no firewall device in between it and the internet.)
Then, I configured the default network card #1 to a static, yet private IP address that's behind our DLink firewall device with the rest of our network.
Intel Xserve (e-mail server) - Network card #1 was the only one setup before our network change. It had a static, public IP address. When we changed ISPs, I configured network card #2 to the new static, public IP address supplied to us by the new ISP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. This new IP address is where all email traffic currently gets pointed to. (All mail is successfully sent and delivered.) Until our former ISP gets shutdown, I still have network card #1 configured to the older static public IP address. After the old ISP is shut off, I plan on changing network card #1 to a static, private address.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Mac OS X (10.4.8)

What should I check in AD? I am by no means an expert with AD.
Yes, I am using the same client OS.
I am talking about RDP over the internet, like from home to the office. We have a static IP assigned to the router from ISP. A static internal IP assigned to the server on the LAN. And the router port forwards 3389 to the assigned IP.
It was working fine before we reinstalled Server 2012. These are the steps I took when reinstalling:
1. format drive and install OS
2. rename the server
3. install SQL server
4. Install TFS and SharePoint
5. Add Active Directory role and promote to Domain Controller
6. Add domain users
7. Enable remote access on the server and add users to remote access list

Mac os x server profilemanager is not available outside the local network

Hi,
I have some trouble using the profilemanager. Planed is to install the server for configuring and supporting our iPhone user
Its a mac mini with OS X Server installed. I've just activated the Websites, OpenDirectory and Profilemanager service. I added the Server to our AD and I'am able to choose the User to allow them to log on to the profilmanager. No problems so far.
But then I added a port forwarding to our firewall with this ports -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5302?viewlocale=de_DE to the server.
Then I logged on to a external client pc and opened the url forwarded to our ip. The first website with the server logo I got. But if i try to open a subfolder like /profilemanager I get only a white screen without any content. Just a title "Admin" is shown in the browser tab.
Then I tried it with a local client. This client located in the same IP range can open the subfolders without any problems.
Whats the problem here? Just a parameter in the server config that tells him to deny connections from external?

Did you set up your ftp clients outside your LAN to use passive FTP.
Active FTP uses a control channel on port 21 and a data channel which is on a non predictive port.
This does not work behind a NAT Router.

When I send an email and BBc to myself/ the BBC does not show. It uses to do all the tyears before, but we change web hosting to another company. The reason fof BCC is that I work from outside the office and want to let know what I have replied to en

We recently changed our webhosting company and i work and answer emails from another location than main office. I worked with Mail
So it is important that on the main office they can read my reply to customers. That is why I always send a BCC to myself (main account)
After the change my cc and BCC are not send. What can be the reason?? Before it worked perfectly.
Can somebody help me out of have same experience
thanks in advance

How to screen share outside the local network

I'd like to screen share and be able to make changes to a family iMac that resides in another country. Is this possible with any Apple software or must I go somewhere else for this kind of functionality?

TeamViewer should get the job done for you just fine. I'm currently using it across my iMac, MacBook, and iPad. Because it has to relay the connection over the internet it can be a little sluggish at times. Hope it helps.

Etisalat, Mobinil and Vodafone provide warranty service in your country. You can also search Google for a 3rd party repair shop near you.

I live in Saudi Arabia and intend to buy an iPhone 5 (unlocked version) from U.K. I want to know, would it be possible to claim warranty from the local network operator which is the official Apple iPhone seller i.e. Mobily. Would they repair/replace ?

You would need to return to U.K. for warranty service. The iPhone warranty is not international.
