Accessing Server when only connected via Internet Sharing

Currently, I don't have the ability to directly connect my Mac Pro which I use as a Server to the router as I have no direct access to it via cable and it does not have an Airport card.
However, I can access the internet on it if I use internet sharing on my iMac which is connected via Gigabit Ethernet to the Mac Pro at all times.
In order to use any of the services such as Time Machine from another machine, I always need to connect it directly by cable. This leaves me wondering if there is a way to tunnel the Mac Pro through the iMac so it is accessible via Wifi? Is there a setting on either Machine I have to activate / set to make this work?
It is only thought to be a temporary solution until I move to a new flat where it will be directly connected to an Airport Extreme.
Thanks for your help!

Seems that the issue is something to do with connecting via WPA2. When I set Internet Sharing to use WEP (by option-clicking the security menu), I'm then able to see the network shares and the printer.

Who is connected via internet sharing?

How do you view who is connected to your wifi via internet sharing? I had to get rid of the password in order to get internet sharing to work with my other devices.

Jimbo:
One way is to use Network Utility (Applications/Utilities). Click on the Netstat tab then select "Display routing table information." Next click the oval "Netstat" button to run it and down the left column of information you should see the names and MAC addresses of any connected computers.

Can't see printer or shares when connected via Internet Sharing

I recently switched from a 2006 to a 2008 Mac Pro. Rather than do a migration I simply took the hard drives from the old machine and put them in the new one.
I then upgraded to Mountain Lion.
I use Internet Sharing to share my Mac Pro's Ethernet connection via wifi, but the other Macs can't see the Mac Pro's printer or shares when connected in this way. They can access the internet. If I connect a machine via the LAN rather than Internet Sharing, the shares and printer are visible.
This worked fine on Lion on the old machine. Any ideas?

I can't download apps to my iPad via Internet sharing (Lion) anymore

I always use my Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard to share my Internet connection with my iPad 2. However, since I upgraded to Lion, my iPad 2 can't seem to download apps thru Internet Sharing anymore. If I use our office WiFi, the App download works fine. But when I connect using Internet Sharing again, it doesn't download the apps.
Interestingly, all my other apps (in the iPad) that require internet connectivity works really well. Only the app store can't download, it surfs really fast though when I want to view an app. ONLY the download is not working right.
Any thoughts?

Close all the apps in the recents tray on your iPad, reboot again, and see if that solves either problem.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Since it will not hurt anything, you could try resetting your router as well. Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Connecting ipod touch to internet via internet sharing

My MacPro was connected to the internet. My ipod touch showed that it was connected to the MacPro via internet sharing, but I could not get the ipod to complete the connection to the internet. I selected "Allow all incoming connections" in the MacPro system preferences>security>firewall and the ipod could see the internet. Success.

If we wanted to open only individual ports (or a range of ports) rather than disabling the whole firewall, which ports would we leave open?
TIA,
George

My Mac can't find the server when I connect to cable internet.

My Mac can't find the server when I connect to cable internet. Ethernet is fine, the problem is that Safari doesn't open the login/password window. Can anybody help?

The system administrator of my network has had the following solution - to help open the window for the login/password I tick "web proxy" (and enter the information for web proxy server) in "network preferences - advanced - proxies", enter the login/password and then untick it to open webpages. A little complicated, but it works, and that's the only solution so far.

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?

Can you use Time Capsule as a print server for printers connected via Ethernet or wirelessly?
I know that it works marvelous for printers connected via USB, but I'd like to know if you can use it as a more general print server.

No, you can't, but what do you expect to gain by doing so?
The main advantage of the print server is to provide multi-user network access to a printer that typically only supports a single connection. Since, by definition, your printer already has a network connection and can be used by multiple users.

If the message that is displaying is "Network connection timed out", disable any Anti-Virus or Firewall software on the comptuer or check with the company that supports the product on how to modify it to allow iTunes to connect to the Internet.

Yosemite Server when restarted turns of file sharing.

Yosemite Server when restarted turns off file sharing. Any way to get file sharing to stay on after rebooting without manually turning it on?

All services that are running should return to operation once restarted. Now, that being said, where are your share points located? Are they on an external volume? If so, what connection bus? It is possible that file services is failing to start because the volume(s) that contain(s) the share points is/are not accessible yet.
Beyond that, have you looked in the logs? /var/log/system.log is a good place to start. Are there any entries that point to a reason for the service to fail to start?

I have lost my iPhone on August 27, 2013 at 6:15 a.m. when I posizioned it on the strip for the scanner objet of Linate Airport.
After about 10 minutes when I was already on the plane my friend tried to call my number but the phone was already off.
By searching with the "Find my iPhone" system, the device is OFFLINE and does not appear on the map.
I have already written to the lost property office of the Linate Airport but at the moment they do noto have yet responded.
I have already forwarded the complaint to the police.
How can I find out it if my iPhone 5 is offline?
Thanks in advance for the answer.

Being notified when the connection to internet is establish

having a pc which is not permmanently connected to internet I want to know how can I construct a listener for being notified when a connection to internet is establish

That would require the following...
For your specific OS and environment in the OS you will need to determine the specific ways, via C API calls, callback or notification events, how to know this.
Then you write JNI code so your java application can talk to that code.
Alternatively you can just query yahoo every couple of minutes. If it responds then you are connected. If not then you are not.

Connect via internet NW2004s ABAP Edition

Hi guys,
I installed the abap version. It works fine from my local PC, but now I want to connect via internet to my PC at home. I configured a dyndns service and I am also able to reach my PC, but when I try to connect to the SAP system I get an error no 10061, saying "WSAECONNREFUSED connection refused". Am I not allowed to connect because it's a trial version, or do I have to change some settings?
Kind Regards
Stefan

For anyone who's interested I solved this by:
- Edit the Phone number for the bluetooth Modem and entering *99#
- For the modem, setting it's Maximum speed to the highest. In my case it was 921600.
- Go into Control Panel - Phone and Modem Options - Modems - Select Bluetooth Modem - Properties - Advanced tab and enter at+cgdcont=1,”IP”,”internet”
Dial the connection by going into My Bluetooth Places and double clicking on the icon. When prompted enter a blank userid and password. It should then connect to the Internet via your mobile !

Proxy via Internet Sharing

Hello, Apple Communities.
I am having some problems with proxy setting.
I contacted Apple about it, and they couldn't give me any solution,
So I was wondering is there anyone who can figure it out.
I am trying to use proxy, via internet sharing.
Which means, I would like keep the proxy setting universal through out internet sharing.
For instance, if I use internet on my iPhone through my mac(=internet sharing), I wish my iphone on proxy.
But apparently the proxy setting,
actually all sercutiy settings are not shared on internet sharing.
Is there anyway to fix this?

My only advice would be to buy a router like the airport extreme.

1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off.
2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.
3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.
4. Turn on your iPad and test print.
