10.6.1 Server - how to set up as internet gateway with dynamic IP?

Hi,
I installed Snow leopard server 10.6 on a macpro, to share server services (address book, ical, web, mail and VPN) over my office local network, wirelessly (less than 10 computers, all macs).
I would like to set it as a gateway, as indicated on the manual "getting started", so: Internet > adsl modem > server > Time capsule/extreme (for sharing wirelessly the internet connection and all the services provided by server).
I don't have a static IP address and i don't have a DNS managed from ISP.
I tried to read many posts, discussions and apple/resources manuals, but i didn't find out the right way to fix this, with proper configuration of DNS, to keep it standing.
Which steps should i follow?
Note: There is a thread from Singapore for setting up server without a static IP, but the configuration is: internet > DSL modem > airport > server (it's not specified how users can connect from outside the network)
i would like instead to set up the configuration explained above: internet > adsl modem > server > Time capsule/extreme
Thanks in advance for your help

Check out this reference material. http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/NetworkServices_Adminv10.6.pdf
It's a little lengthy and in-depth, but not terribly difficult to walk through.
In short:
1.- pick an address range (192.168.1.1-254, for example)
2.- assign a static ip to your server (192.168.1.1)
3.- configure your server's network interface to point at your current router (adsl modem), and use your server's static ip for dns lookups
3.- turn on the dhcp service and configure a scope (192.168.1.20-254, to give you a few addresses at the bottom of the range outside the leasing scope)
4.- turn on the dns service and configure a forward and reverse lookup zone for your internal domain name (internal.yourcompany.com)
5.- configure your clients to pull addresses from dhcp
I'm sure I missed some important stuff, and don't be upset if your neighborhood gets access to your internal resources due to a misconfiguration of your routers acl's.
If you're still not clear on what to do, bring in an I.T. consultant for a short engagement to initialize and stand up all your services and show you how to support them.

  • How to set up an internet radio with itunes?

    I want to set up an internet radio so that when I play musics from itunes, my friends could share to enjoy. I guess this needs to stream from itunes and then broadcast. Nicecast would do the job. But it is not free. Is there another solution? Thanks.

    Nicecast is only $40. I use it and it is very easy to use once set up. A few years ago I saw a Quicktime Broadcaster but I never investigated that. It might still exist.
    But I would recommend Nicecast. It works right on your computer and depending on your upload capacity you can handle 5-10 listeners.

    How to Set JFilechooser to show file with the same extension in the filetypes??

    I also don't understand, but if you mean how to display only files with a certain extension in your JFileChooser then you should have a look at the JFileChooser API:

  • How to set up iOS calendar app with shared Google Calendar data

    At work (in our small office) I've been given access to the shared Google Calendar that has our work schedule. It was set up using this page (click on Share an existing calendar):
    https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37082
    The question I have is how to set it up to work with iOS calendar app on my iPhone?

    "currently there is no shared group calendar support."
    Well, not really. You hinted at it with: "set up a group wiki."
    Go into Workgroup Manager and set up an Open Directory group. Add people to it.
    Each client must then go into iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts and add an account. The name and password entered must be the same as that added to the group, Kerberos must be unchecked, and the account URL will be like (fill in the blanks properly):
    http://<your domain name here>:8008/principals/groups/<your group name here>/
    Now each properly logged in user of that group can make changes to the shared group calendar, without any "hacks" like making dummy users and delegation.
    However, I am getting a notifier: "Request Error: Accesss to <event name> in <your group name here> in account <your group name here> is not permitted." But that seems to be a lie, since multiple members of the group can make changes and others can see the changes.
    Oh yea, make sure you have a functioning DNS with valid reverse lookup.

  • How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset

    What I would like to achieve:
    A program loads a report in runtime updates list of database fields (possibly includes sample data), open report in "Crystal Reports 2011" (or 2008) where user customizes report and saves it. Later on the program loads the report, fills actualized data and displays it in .net report viewer.
    What I do:
    CrReport = New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
    CrReport.Load(TemplateFilename)
    Dim Results As DataTable
    DataTable is filled from a database
    CrReport.SetDataSource(mResults)
    CrReport.SaveAs(NewReportPath, True)
    The NewReportPath is opened in the default program.
    What are the problems
    The report is open in preview mode (not in design).
    When the field is added to the report the designer asks for XML datasource on preview.

    The short answer is that it is not possible. I broke the question to other two: How to save a report that it opens without preview? and How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset, where it is possible to find details. Key answer is Re: How to create an editable previewable report?

  • How to set up my elderly parent with Mac so that I can use remote access to help her?

    I want to set my elderly mother up with a new Mac mini so that I can use remote access to show her how use email, browse the internet, share photos.  (She lives in KY, I live in OR)
    She has had an iPhone and an iPad for about 6 months and she can barely use them without becoming frustrated.   I want to be able to see her screen with her and show her how to do things.
    My plan is to set her up with a Mac mini and I'll use my MacBookAir to remote into her system.  I'm buying the mini to configure and then I'll mail it to her.
    My question is whether to try to use Back to My Mac or Teamviewer for remote access
    I have broadband with comcast and she has broadband with Access Cable.  Each have their company modem/routers--neither of us have Airport Express.
    I have my own iCloud account and she has her own.   If I use Back to My Mac, it seems that I would need to set up a separate account on my Mac that would sync to her iCloud account.
    Teamviewer seems easier because I don't have to use a separate account.   Any advice?   Anything that I'm not thinking about?

    As Linc says, you can establish a Screen Sharing session via iMessage and Facetime.  The advantage of these 2 approaches is that once your Mom gets used to using them, she will be more comfortable using them to communicate with you.  I've talked to my Mom via iChat (aka iMessage) more since she learned to use them, then in all the years before that (including when I was a child ).  And just being able to see your Mom via Facetime can be useful when you want to gage how she is doing.
    However, if you are any distance from your Mom, they you want backup methods incase something goes wrong.
    So beside iMessage/Facetime, the next best would be Back-to-My-Mac via iCloud, however, you will want to establish her Mac as using your account so that you have the right to take control remotely.
    An alternative that does not mix up your iCloud acounts would be to use TeamViewer.com (which has an unattended mode so you can do off-hour maintenance when your Mom is not around; or check up on her to find out if she is dating - Turns out if I had been paying attention, I would not have been blind-sided by my Mom getting Married again last Summer - she is in her 80's! ).
    LogMeIn.com, as dwb says, can be used the same was as TeamViewer.com
    Both LogMeIn.com and TeamViewer.com are very good at making it easy to get through the home router and if you are having any problems connecting using other Methods, TeamViewer.com or LogMeIn.com will most likely not have any issues.
    Back-to-My-Mac allows screen sharing and file sharing so you can transfer files as well as control the screen.
    Screen Sharing via Messages allows cooperative file transfer. That is to say, you can try pushing a file to your Mom, but she has to accept each transfer.
    TeamViewer.com has an unattended file transfer mode.
    LogMeIn.com requires the paid version to transfer files.  However, there are other ways to transfer files, such as downloading them from the original source on your Mom's system while using screen sharing, using Dropbox (or similar), emailing them, etc...
    Of course if you are really network savvy, you can roll your own via ssh tunnels, port forwarding routers, getting dynamic DNS names, transferring files via scp, or tunneling AFP file sharing, tunneling your screen sharing sessions.  Lots of fun and excitement playing with terminal commands

  • How to set up a pdf embeded with different code so that people can get different excess code after they paid on-line?

    For example, I want to set up a pdf embeded with code, and send it on-line. People who want it should pay for it first and get the access code. I need to set different access code in order to avoid people A give the access to people B.

    Unless you use a very expensive DRM protection measure, I don't see how it's possible. How can you prevent someone from sending a file with the password to someone else?

  • How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

    I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

    If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage.  Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area.  As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys.  The second Express provides the extension.
    You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
    Linksys is providing a wireless network.
    The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
    The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
    The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
    The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
    This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
    Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
    This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.

  • How to set GPRS on iphone 4 with ATT ?

    i need to get my internet work by gprs on my iphone , i'm using ATT carrier , anyone show me how to set it
    thanks ...............

    There should be nothing to set up. AT&T is a supported carrier. Assuming you have a data plan and AT&T has provisioned your account for an iPhone, all you have to do is put in the SIM and go. (This assumes the phone is either legitimately unlocked or is an AT&T phone).
    AT&T does NOT support pre-paid plans on the iPhone, so if that's what you're trying to do, you're pretty much out of luck. You will have to go post-paid.

  • How to set the height of a textarea dynamically

    Hi,
    I have been trying to set the ui.textarea's height dynamically and I am not able to do it. This is what I am doing.
    <ui:textArea binding="#{assignment$EditResult.textArea2}" id="textArea2" style="height: 90%" text="#{currentRow.value['comments']}"/>
    The height is being ignored and it is set to the default size. How can I set the height of this component to fit to the size of its cell, which is dynamic?
    Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for your help! It worked for something like this:
    getTextArea2().setStyle("color : red");
    but this does not work still.
    getTextArea2().setStyle("height: 90%");
    I think it still does not know the size of the cell at this point yet. But this is a good tip, thanks anyway!

  • How to set static IPv6 address/gateway in Arch (NOT tunnel)

    Hey Everybody,
    Today I decided to install Arch Linux. There was only one thing that I did not understand, and that is how to set up a static IPv6 address. I have native IPv6 connectivity at home and in Debian I used to edit /etc/network/interfaces to set up a static IPv6 adress. Since Arch uses rc.conf, what is the syntax to configure a static IPv6 address?
    I used to add something like this in Debian in /etc/network/interfaces:
    > iface eth0 inet6 static
    > address *my static address*
    > netmask 64
    > gateway *my gateway address*
    Or can I still use /etc/network/interfaces in Arch?
    Thank you for help.

    It can be done quite easily using the netcfg infrastructure.
    /usr/lib/network/connections/ipv6static
    #!/bin/bash
    . /usr/lib/network/network
    ipv6static_up() {
    load_profile $1
    ip -6 a a ${ADDRESS} dev ${INTERFACE}
    if ! [ -z "${GATEWAY}" ]
    then
    ip -6 r a 2000::/3 via ${GATEWAY} dev ${INTERFACE}
    fi
    ipv6static_down() {
    load_profile $1
    ip -6 a d ${ADDRESS} dev ${INTERFACE}
    if ! [ -z "${GATEWAY}" ]
    then
    ip -6 r d 2000::/3 via ${GATEWAY} dev ${INTERFACE}
    fi
    ipv6static_$1 $2
    exit $?
    /etc/network.d/eth0static
    CONNECTION="ipv6static"
    DESCRIPTION="Static configuration for IPv6"
    ADDRESS="2001:dead:beef:cafe::1/64"
    INTERFACE="eth0"
    GATEWAY="2001:feed:dead:beef::1" # Comment this out if no route needed
    I haven't tested the gateway part, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You'll need iproute2, and to read up on netcfg (see http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_Profiles) if you have trouble.

  • How to set up CABLE internet connection

    Hi,
    I just installed Solaris 10 version. I am using Cable modem for internet.
    Can somebody tell me how to set up internet connection please?
    Thank you

    Hello,
    1. Please make sure that you are able to ping to the cable modem by setting both IP of both cable modem and system in the same range.
    Hint: Please read the catalog come with cable modem to find default IP and change the System IP to the same range.
    Normally the IP will be 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1
    2. Access the cable modem through browser with the URL http://192.168.50.50 and make necessary changes.
    2. Set the DNS in your system by editing /etc/resolv.conf. touch if it is not there.
    3. Set the proxy in your browser if ISP have.
    3. Then reboot the system.
    Please follow the steps and let me know details.
    Thanks,
    Sal.
