Access files on mac via internet from winXP

I set up a mac in the office as a file server. I have the public folder defined to be accessible via afp and smb.
When I access it from home with my mac via "connect to server" and put in the servername.com which I defined with no-ip.com it works just fine. Also my filemaker databases and everything.
However if I try to connect with a windowsxp machine I cannot get it to work. I tried
afp://servername.com and smb://servername.com and smb\\servername.com to no avail.
Any suggestions how this should work?
Yours
Pierre

than you. I wasn't sure what forum to post in. Since I am looking for a remote solution, and possibly apple remote desktop that offers hard drive access only, I thought this could be the appropiate forum. I wasn't sure if remote desktop (apple) offers access to the hard drive to hard drive solution without being forced or required to use the screen sharing/control feature. At any rate, thank you. i am not sure I am going to be able to fins asolution. I was thinking someone might tell me something about SSH, and maybe a third party app to use for dynamic DNS and an option to avoid port forwarding etc. Thank you for your time.

Following a software update, I can no longer access/authorise music purchased via iTunes from my old Apple ID, which I have not used for 8 years, and no longer have password. Any ideas how I can re-access/recover that music?

Access Files on My Samsung Continuum from my Mac

Hello,
How can I access my files on my Samsung Continuum from my mac computer?
Samsung says that my device cannot be mounted:
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view_us1.jsp?PAGE_GBN=faqs_search&SITE_ID=22&PG_ID=0&AT_ID=342136&PROD_SUB_ID=0&PROD_ID=561
Does anyone have any other ideas of how to download/access the SD card?
thanks,

Good morning andrewiskandar,
The Samsung continuum comes with an 8GB pre-installed microSD memory card. Is this the card we are working with? Also, if your Mac states that it accepts the card version that you posted, then you may need a memory card adaptor to the standard SD memory card format. Once you have the adaptor, the pc or Mac will recognize the memory card. On the pc, the card will come up as an add'l drive in "My computer". On the Mac, an icon will appear on the desktop to represent the memory card. Once the computers recognize the memory card, you can manipulate and transfer media on either platform. I hope I didn't overwhelm you with too much info.
Good luck...

How TO Access Oracle Communicator Publically Via Internet??

pls Help me ????????????

Hi
If I've understood you correctly then you need to know/do certain things. At the MacBook site log into the router interface and open ports 5900 and 3283. Depending on the Router make, you may have to define an additional Firewall Rule. Forward external requests for these ports to the internal/private IP address of the MacBook. Ideally this should be fixed. Enable Remote Management on the MacBook and define what control options you want. You will need to know the external/public IP address - again this would be better if it was fixed. If it's not fixed you will need some way of finding out what it gets changed to. Generally a person at the MacBook end could tell you this via a simple phone call. How do they find this out? Either by logging into the router and and looking at the WAN Status or by launching a browser and using this url:
http://myipaddress.com
Once you know the IP address launch ARD > Scanner > Network Address from the pull down menu. Key in the IP address. Enter the admin name and password of the remote MacBook. There's no need to fiddle with the router or do anything else at the MacPro end AFAIK.
Alternatively and if you're using 10.5 or 10.6 you can select Connect to Server from the Go Menu and key in:
vnc://theexternal/publicipaddress
Supply the admin name and password. You could also do this via VPN if Router/Firewalls support it. In addition there are also ways of doing this that don't involve ARD. iChat's Share Screen feature for example. Searching the Forum should have brought up something more than half cooked solutions? This is one I quickly found:

Time Capsule via Internet from Windows

Frnds,
I couldnt find solve for my problem. Could anyone help me, pls?
I have TC. It work as router. TC connect via Ethernet cable. I want to connect to it from anyplace of the world via internet and use files on it. I switched on Share files in Airport Utility. I have stat IP. All should be work. But it is not working. When i check ports(137-139, 455) then i see that ports is closed. When i try to mapping ports then i have warning message that they is using and to turn it on i need to switch off Share files.
I try to connect via FTP. I opened 21 port and it is realy open. But i still could not to connect.
One more thing - i could to connect to TC via afp:// from Macbook. But i need to connect from other places using Windows.
I NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP. All eligible information and screens im ready to provide. HELPDESK CONNECTED UP!!!
sry for my english

The TC does not offer FTP and ISP do not allow SMB connection via internet due to risk. Nor apparently does the TC allow wan connection using SMB.
So the simple answer is, you will have to figure out another way in.
http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/3178/how-to-connect-to-an-afp-server-fr om-a-windows-pc
There are no AFP client support for windows available.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2627410?start=0&tstart=0
Buy a vpn router and place it infront of the TC which should be bridged.. vpn to the network and then you can access the TC.. but you should understand the TC was not made to be used as a NAS nor to serve PC's.

Best way to access files on Xserve via VPN on iPad?

Can anyone tell be the best solution for accessing files housed on the companies Apple Xserve remotely via VPN from an iPad? Numbers / Pages etc.
thanks,
Rick

The iPad doesn't natively support file systems such as those on servers, but there are third-party apps that can allow this. FileBrowser is one often mentioned, so you might look into that. VPN will be a separate issue; iOS has a built-in VPN client which works with many VPN systems, but you'll need to see if yours is supported.
Regards.

"How to" access Macbook by ARD via Internet

I want to connect to a MacBook via Internet by ARD. The handbook is not very specific about this.
What I need is a "how to" handle the IP and NIC adresses to connect the remote MacBook with my administrator MacPro. Both Macs have routers.

Remote access VPN clients connected to Internet from VPN

Greetings,
I need to let remote VPN clients to connect to Internet from the same ASA VPN server
" client connects to ASA through VPN tunnel from outside interface then access Internet from the same ASA from outside interface again
thanks

you'll need to configure 'same-security-traffic permit intra-interface' on the ASA .
Also, need to setup the corresponding nat statements for your clients pool range.
i.e.
global (outside) 1 interface
nat (outside) 1 access-list anyconnectacl
where anyconnectacl is the pool for your clients:
access-list anyconnectacl permit ip 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 any

Access files on mac-mini from external hard drives hooked to PC...

Have two external hard drives hooked up to my PC. I am in the process of daisy-chaining (via firewire cable) from the one external-Hrd-Drv (only one that has firewire input) to my MAC-MINI. APPLE STORE REP says it will pick up BOTH hard dirves (through a "daisy-chain" -like cycle) and that their icons will just pop-up on my mac-mini. So, it's all hooked up and then I clicked over to the mac-mini and there's NOTHING. Both hard-drive icons are no where to be found! There still ONLY found on my PC, of course. Once a again, I was told that my mac-mini would pick-up or access both hard drives from my PC by JUST using a firewire cable! I've done that and I'm having no such luck. Is there a way to do this? Please Help...thanks!

Can you re-state exactly what drives are connected to which computers, and how?
An external hard drive plugged into a PC (or, indeed, even another Mac) on your network will not automatically "show up" on your Mac mini, no matter whether it's USB, Firewire or what. The only way you can even connect to it from the Mini would be to share it out from the PC as an SMB/CIFS (Windows file sharing) share across the network.

Unable to access files on Windows 7 computer from Windows 8.1 computer

I have a Windows 7 desktop and a Windows 8.1 laptop. Both connect wirelessly to the internet via my Home Hub. Because the desktop is my main repository of documents / pictures etc. I want to be able to access them from the laptop, but despite
spending ages surfing for assistance I can't manage to do this.
At this stage I'll cheerfully confess to being semi-PC-illiterate and totally confused about Network File Sharing, Homegroups and Workgroups!
One fundamental problem seems to be this - I can ping the laptop from the desktop but not vice-versa. That said, if I run Explorer on the desktop and click on Network, it displays both machines (and the hub). If I run Explorer on the laptop and
click on Network, it displays the laptop and the hub, but
not the desktop.
I'd be grateful if some kind reader could patiently suggest how I could diagnose and fix the problem!
Many thanks in anticipation.

Why does "problem loading page" appear when i try to run firefox? I can access the relevent page via internet explorer but firefox cannot connect to the web/

A few days ago Firefox stopped working when using shortcut or exe. file. The message http://en-gb.start3.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official appears, although when i paste this address into internet explorer it works. What is preventing firefox from connecting?

Actually, dchristie, your solution didn't help at all. If I wanted to use IE, I wouldn't have installed Firefox. IE is a good browser, but doesn't have features Firefox has. Also, when Firefox crashes windows can kill it and you can restart it no problem. When IE crashes, since it is so tightly integrated into windows, windows itself becomes unstable and you have to reboot.
