Accessing network from home via static IP

Hello. I have a small network at the company that I own. We are a Mac network running Tiger on most machines. The server is 10.3. We just moved offices and have a new internet/DSL provider. At my old office, we had a static IP configured that allowed me to log in from home via the IP address. Now that we moved, I can't figure out how to get it set up to allow access through the new IP address. I have the modem set with a static IP for the WAN settings. Is there something I need to do on the server as well? I know just enough to be dangerous, but I'm not at all a network/IT expert. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks, Greg

I think your best bet would be to configure the VPN server that way all your access would be sent over an encrypted network connection to your office network.
Basically what that means is no one would be able to easily sniff out sensitive info from you. The VPN server is pretty easy to setup and works great for me. I access my office network from my home network to fix problems in the middle of the night so I don't have to drive into work.
If you want more info or possibly some help setting it up, feel free to e-mail me at: japruim AT raoset DoT com (Make it a normal email and it will work just fine) Stupid spam bots

  • HT4437 I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by neither iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Any clue? Thanks!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • I just purchased the airport Express to use in hotels while traveling to create a wireless network from the hotels wired dsl.  A friend said to set up the network from home prior to traveling.  How do I set this up?  Thanks.

    In addition to RyanJC's comments, the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) can store up to five different http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108081 configuration profiles. You will need to use the AirPort Utility to create & save these profiles.
    To create a new profile:
    Open AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    Click "+" to create a new profile; give it a name, and then, click OK.
    Set options, such as network name, passwords, Internet connection method, etc.
    When done setting the options, click Update.
    To switch profiles:
    Open the AirPort Utility, select your AX from the list, and then, click "Manual Setup."
    From the AirPort Utility menu, select "Base Station," and then "Manage Profiles."
    Click on the desired profile, and then, click OK to apply the new profile and restart the AX.
    Just remember to switch to the desired configuration profile before removing power from the AX.

  • Accessing servers and network from home

    I am a computer teacher and would like to know if it is possible to access our server and network from my home. I am the administrator. We use the xserve raid and I have 4 of them. I do have remote desktop as well. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi mrsraz-
    One way is through ARD: About Apple Remote Desktop 3.1

  • How to access network from internet side

    Network newbie.
    Using BEFW11SW V.4 wireless router on a DSL mosdem to ISP, on small office network - 3 puters on it running XP Pro SP2/3. That side works fine for intranet and internet, mostly. snorton Norton firewall set up OK for access out.
    But I have mental block understanding how to get into my office network from outside, i.e. home via the internet. I can find the IP address of the router and the DSL modem while at work. But from home how do I route through to the computers & printers  across the internet to the work network.  What IP address works, and what ports do I try to open from the outside on the road.  Thinking in particular of remote desktop on the road, including access to office computers and printers.
    BTW remote desktop, Win Live Messanger, netmeeting all work from the office network outbound through the wireless router and DSL to internet to home puter -
    but I want the reverse path. What address/port/redirect ??
    Thanks for the kind words.

    since you want to use the Remote desktop feature....you will need to forward port number 3389 on you work router....once done...save settings the drawback here is that whenever you want o access the work pc....you will need to know the current IP you are getting from the DSL connection.. to access the work PC , open internet explorer and in the address bar type the following syntax http://your.current.wan.ip:3389

  • Newbie question. Trying to connect to my work network from home?

    Hi, I need to be able to monitor my work computers from home. Now I have a static IP at work and a dynamic at home. I have Ard3 installed on my laptop which I take to work and I also use it at home ( hopefull to check on renderings at work). When I am at work on the local network I can monitor all the work computers but when I go home I can't. I know that I have to do some configuring but I am not sure what I need to configure. Now the router at work and home are the same model a D-link DI-524. Can anyone help I need to monitor at least but but would also need to monitor 4 others.
    Thanks
    Anron

    I have the Ports 5900 and 3283 fowarding to work computer A and at home I have the Ports forwarded to my laptop. No we have a static ip at work which comes from the the modem into the Dlink Di-524 router. No I we do not use a NAT. At work the flow goes from the modem to the router to a switch to the work Computer A. At home it goes from the modem to the router to a switch to the laptop.
    I hope this helps.

  • Connecting to a Wondows Server Network from Home

    Hello All,
    I am new to MAC (OSx)and this is the first time I will be connecting my new iMAC from home to my work network (currently accessing by Windows XP). My company uses Checkpoint Secure Client in terms of connecting and authenticating on my work network and I have been successful in getting this installed and connected. Unfortunately I cannot seem to connect to my shared folders and files. I also notice that I cannot ping the work file server. Is there a specific way to setup file sharing on the work network in order for the iMAC to see shared files or am I still missing something on my iMAC setup.
    I realise that this could be any number of things but any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Paul:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    You are right - there are a number of things that would affect your connectivity!
    This is rather bland advice, but the first step I would take would be to contact your company IT people for help. There could be firewall settings (among other things) that may be a problem. When I was working, I had a similar problem (very different configuration from yours). In my own case, I would have never connected without my organization IT people helping me (a lot).

  • Iphone 4s in settings can't access Notes or Mail.  Also can't access mail from home screen. Can't send email. All else is good.

    I need help. I have reset my iphone. I have turned it off then on. Still can't launch my built in mail app from home screen. When I try it goes to blank page then right back to home screen view.
    In settings for the iphone 4s I can not access Notes or Mail, Contacts,Calendars. When I tap either of the two they highlight in blue and then go right back to Home Screen view. I seem to be able to access everything else in settings with no trouble.
    From home screen I have no trouble I can launch the built in utility Notes with no problem. I also can launch Calendars from Home Screen view. My Contacts are still reachable by tapping Phone from H/S view then clicking on contacts.
    I can not launch mail. nor can I send email. Also the built in mail app is not showing it is recieving mail either. All else seems fine.
    I can log in to my email from Safari on iphone and from my laptop with no problem.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  My iphone is out of warranty. Apples only suggestions are To pay for support.
    Thanks in advance

    Just had a thought....was trying to rememberif anything changed last night. I think I installed a mac OS X Security update. That's about the time the trouble started. Any ideas? Thanks.

  • Cant access dashboards from home wireless network via my personal 10.1.3.4

    Hi,
    I installed 10.1.3.4 on my laptop at work - which worked fine. though when attempting dashboards via presentation layer at home the url cannot be displayed. I believe it is because i am using a static ip & at home on my wireless i get assigned any old ip. can anyone advise how to get around this?

    Yes, It has impact. You create groups in the Repository & Answers and assign the object level permissions.
    You Populate Group Variable during authentication via LDAP server. Once you login with X name you see the authorized groups in the my account.
    For dashboard A - For group Executive - User X - You have given full access.
    Now you have changed the Group name to AD_Executive. When You Login variable values would be
    User - X
    Group - Ad_Executive
    Dashboard A - No permissions.
    If you have a scenario of changing the group names then get Groups from database using Init block after authorization.

  • ITunes cannot access files from home network

    Just got new Vista PC. All my music files are on older XP PC. I have set up my home network, and Vista PC can see/access all my XP folders. I have Sonos and Yahoo Jukebox installed on Vista PC and both programs can access the XP music files and play them.
    On iTunes however, I cannot create my Music folder with the XP music. When I select 'Add Folder to Library' and get the 'Browse for Folder' popup, I see the 'Network' icon, but when I select it, nothing happens. I can right-click 'Explore' from there to re-launch/see the full network, but iTunes cannot seem to see/access this.
    Same problem if I go through iTunes' Preferences/Advanced/General to set the iTunes folder location. I can hit browse and see 'Network' in list, but selecting it produces nothing.
    Very surprised that I have no problem through Sonos or Yahoo Jukebox but Apple brakes down.
    Any thoughts?

    After the update I cannot connect to my router anymore

  • Can I access work's windows network from home mac?

    Can I use my Mac G4 running OS X Tiger to remote connect to my work pc running XP?

    Theoretically, yes. However, this depends on how your firm has set up its network. For example, if they have implemented a VPN. You should contact your network administrator to discuss the issue. Some companies prohibit such access for security reasons.
    Good luck!

  • How to access Application from Home computer

    Masters,
    I am completely new to application recently joined a company that runs on Application 11.5.6. In order to practice I wanted to be able to log into the application from my home computer.I am hesitant asking my boss about it so thought to ask my seniors who can well understand my fate.
    Kindly let me know what all I'll need to access this ...
    Thanks in Advance

    It means making your Oracle Apps functionality accessible via the Internet to external users. This would require lots of work in terms of setup and configuration, and in case it is not yet implemented then I guess this scenario is not the best for you.
    For VPN, it is a form of communication over networks that are public in ownership, but emulate a private network in terms of security. In this scenario, your Network Administrator has to set up VPN and you need to install the client version on your HomePC. Once you are connected, your HomePC will be part of the intranet (Internal Network). So, you will be able to access the application as you are at office.

  • Can't Access Server from Internet (via Airport Extreme)

    Not sure if this is an Airport Extreme or a SL Server question, guessing the latter?
    From my local network I can access the OSX Server home page by entering the URL myserver.dyndns.org (domain registered on the DynDNS site) in Safari. The server is setup with a fixed IP.
    I have a dynamic IP from my ISP, and am updating the domain mapping to the IP address using an Airport Extreme and completing the dynamic global hostname info. When I ping the domain I get the correct IP address. The Web Server is running, but I am using default configuration info (perhaps my problem? not sure, working fine from the local network). I have a bunch of ports open on the Airport Extreme, and pointing at the server IP address (including 80). But when I try the URL myserver.dyndns.org from the Internet (outside my local network) I can't connect.
    Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Thinking it must be simple!

    ISPs usually block port 80 for home users but leave 8080 open. Actually you could use any port number you want as long as you redirect it to port 80 on your server machine using the Airport. Once you set it up have someone outside your network try to access it by using your IP address and port number you assign, eg. http://123.456.789.101:8080
    That should bring them right in.
    I use this method to host sites on my Mini Server at home and use DynDNS with port forwarding on my domain names.

  • Cannot ping/access iphone from pc via wifi connection

    Hi! Im trying to ping my iphone from my pc, they are in the same subnet/network, and they are both connected to same wifi/wireless network, but I cannot ping my iphone, is there other things i need to do on my iphone for it to ping-able/accessable from my pc wirelessly? Thank you.

    Yes that worked thank you and has taken me back to the start of the migration assistant. Unless there is anything else I should do, very many thanks! I will try the full process again shortly, having turned off all window updates include virus checker updates which may have caused the problem and I will use the Ethernet cable method. It would have taken hours via wifi,  4 hours to transfer music alone.
    Thank yu
