Acessing home iMac with MacBook from remote location via internet????

Is there a way to access files on my iMac at home with my MacBook via the internet as I do when I'm at home through my network?
Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason,
Funny, we were just working on this topic. I'm assuming your iMac is behing a router, and it does NAT. An indicator would be if your iMac's IP address was something like 192.168.1.x or 10.0.0.x. In that case, the best way is to set up port forwarding in your router.
Assuming you want to share files using Apple File Protocol, you need to forward port 548 from your router to port 548 on your iMac. Other protocols use different ports, but you didn't specify. I don't know what router you've got, so I don't how to configure it. It's probably got a web interface.

Accessing multiple macs with ARD from remote location with Airport Extreme

We have an office with a newer Airport Extreme and three macs on the network. We have turned on the Apple Remote Desktop in the port forwarding, but we can only access one computer at a time, and only if we port map it to the local IP of that computer (Ex 10.0.1.2).
We would like to be able to access all three computers from a remote location. My question is this -
Can I have a wildcard IP, or is there an IP I should use for ARD?
Do I set up multiple port mapping with different ports and IPs?
All computers are running 10.6.1 with the latest ARD updates.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Great answer by Dave Sawyer:
"To be able to connect to a workstation from outside it's network, the ports that ARD uses must be open on both ends of the connection. ARD uses ports 3283 and 5900 so those must be open.
If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. To be able to control more than one system, though, you would need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number for a VNC client to connect. -http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22880
The only other options are: 1) to run the ARD administrator on a workstation on the network, and then take control of that system from outside, either via VNC or another copy of ARD, or 2) set up a virtual private network (VPN) so that when you connect from outside, your admin system is officially part of the local network.
Hope this helps."

I want to stream to multiple ATV's at remote locations via internet..?

I have 14 locations that i would like to stream a slide show and videos to. I would want to stream to all of the locations from one central location.....is this possible? I figure that this is a networking issue more than a device issue, but I really am not savvy enough to know how it's done. If anyone has any ideas I would great appreciate them. Sorry if this is posted somewhere else, I was not able to find anything that addressed this.
Thanks

Using the link I provided you can use Home Sharing over the internet between computers. The application has to be installed on both ends and you cannot install to the TV2. In order for it to work you would need the source computer with App > remote computer with App > TV2 .
The number of ATVs you are wanting to use would be an issue. Each TV2 would need its own computer running the APP and iTunes. Each instance of iTunes and each TV2 would have to be activated on the same account. Accounts are limited to 5 activated computers. I'm not sure but I think the TV2 counts as an activated device and if it does you are looking at 3 activations for one over the internet stream ... source > remote computer > TV2 = 3 of your 5 activations. That only leaves room for one more over the internet stream.... remote computer > TV2 = 2 activations.
So in short you would be able to stream to 4 TV2 over the internet at most if each TV2 does not count as an activation and only 2 if they do.
This is all assuming it worked at all

Cisco video camera monitoring software from remote location

Hello
What is the best way to use the Cisco video camera monitoring software from remote location.
I am talking about the AVMS / SWVMS software.
I am thinking of either a vpn tunnel or Remote Desktop (Terminal Services).
I would like to use the vpn tunnel, but am afraid that the encryption/decryption of all data will drastically slow down the data throughput.
THanks,
Cliff

Hi Clifford,
Thank you for posting. I use the AVMS software remotely and it works good. At first I changed the http ports of each camera and forwarded those ports in the router. I set up the cameras in the remote AVMS software with the WAN IP address and port number. That worked quite well. I then decided to try to reach the cameras through a VPN tunnel. I found that it worked perfectly and I was able to view up to 6 cameras. Your results will vary depending on how much bandwidth you have at each end. The important thing is the upload speed at the camera end of the tunnel. I have anywhere from 3-4 Mbps at any given time for the upload speed at the camera side and 30-40 Mbps download speed at the AVMS server side. I have also used UltraVNC to view the AVMS server through the tunnel and that worked well. Note that if you view the AVMS software using RDP you will see a black screen where the video should be. This is a limitation of RDP, not the software.
Please reply if you have any questions.

How to load jar files from remote location

Hi all,
I am trying to load jar files from remote server, from a servlet which is running on OC4j.
For doing this,First I am getting ClassLoader by using ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader() and then type casting it to URLClassLoader.
But by doing it I am getting ClassCastException,because oc4j returns oracle.classloader.PolicyClassLoader instead of java.net.ClassLoader.
Appreciate if anyone can tell me how to load remote jar files using oracle.classloader.PolicyClassLoader .
Thanks
Harish

Hi,
I suppose you know about this, but just in case.
I have used jnpl to load jar files from remote location.

Delete from remote location with where clause between the two databases

I want to delete records from a source database using dblink. The criteria for the delete is a where clause, that
looks for the values between a table at source and the remote location. I get an invalid sql statement error.
When i do a count(*) instead of a delete, I get rows returned.
Can anyone see an the problem here ? I've tried qualifying the delete
delete from tabl1@remote a, tabl1_temp b where (a."id" =b."id") and (a."title" = b."title) and (a."key" = b."key");
the error I get is ORA 00933 SQL command not properly ended....
The * is between the 2 ands ...
Edited by: sgonos on Nov 6, 2009 6:46 AM
Sorry the * moved when I save it ...
delete from tabl1@remote a, tabl1_temp b where (a."id" =b."id") and (a."title" = b."title) and (a."key" = b."key");
it's flagging the middle and ... a.title = b.title ... seems to like key ....
Edited by: sgonos on Nov 6, 2009 6:51 AM

You have 2 tables specified in the delete clause of your statement.
It should maybe be something like:
delete from tabl1@remote a
where exists (select 'x' from tabl1_temp b where (a."id" =b."id") and (a."title" = b."title) and (a."key" = b."key"));

Sending mail from remote location

This is a question I have often had and never felt like dealing with. Very often, when I access the net using a wireless network from a location other than my home, I can receive mail in the mail app, but I can not send. I will get the window asking to change the server. Sometimes, I am able to switch to another smtp server (I have several e-mail addresses and servers that I use) and it will work. Often, it will not work at all.
And, this is an odd part - if it does work, by switching servers, the next message that is set to go will come up with the same message, but the server that I just successfully used will be missing from the list. I will need to restart at that point to get the original list back.
But, again, in most cases, I simply can't send. I don't really want to go into my mail prefs for my accounts and change the smtp at every new location I am in.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Hello Jonathan.
I don't really want to go into my mail prefs
for my accounts and change the smtp at every
new location I am in.
Unfortunately, you don't have much choice since this depends on the connected to location.
Most, if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers outside of their network as part of an overall effort to prevent or reduce spam eminating from the ISP's domain.
Some wireless networks don't support authenticated SMTP servers. If you are using an authenticated SMTP server for an account, simply changing the authentication to None for the SMTP server will resolve it in this situation.
I haven't used my PB at a Starbucks so I have no experience there but I have connected to wireless networks at various Airports - paid and free connections. With both a paid and free connection, I wasn't required to make any changes and didn't have any problems sending mail but I don't travel as often as I once did so I don't recall if I sent mail with one of my accounts that uses an authenticated SMTP server but I don't believe it would be a problem with a paid connection.
Basically, it depends on the connection and their requirements which you must check.

ACE implementation with servers at remote locations

Hi,
We are having two ACE appliances in the datacenter in failover mode. Currently, we using route mode with two servers placed in the DC which are getting load balanced. Now, we are planning to move the servers to a new location and this location is reachable via WAN from the DC. Is there any challenge in moving the servers to a new location.
1. Do we need to do any natting ?
2. Is there any configuration document for ACE appliance using route mode with NAT ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Rgds./
Sck

There are 2 things to look at.
1/ Make sure the ACE can reach the server (ping)
2/ Make sure the return traffic from the server goes back to the ACE
This 2nd point can be tricky when the servers are not directly connected to ACE.
The servers will see the connections coming from clients (not ACE ip address), therefore they will use a default gateway to send the response which does not necessarily send traffic back to ACE.
You may need policy routing on the gateway.
Or you may have to configure client nat (in this case, the servers see the connections coming from ACE itself), but then you lose information about client source ip. This can be solved by doing header insert but this is only possible for HTTP and it has a cost in terms of performance.
The best option is to keep the servers close to the loadbalancer.
If you want to move both servers, see if you can also move the loadbalancer to the same remote location.

Access time capsule from remote location

I have a time capsule bought in 10/09 - can I access it from a remote location - like out of state - and if so, how?

Steve 711 wrote:

The easiest way to do that is with a MobileMe account. There's a tab labeled that way in the Advanced panel of AirPort Utility.
By the way, don't expect to be able to do Time Machine backups remotely. Such a backup requires too much backup to be successful over the WAN.

pa1The database can only deal with files that reside on disk that is mounted to the OS that is hosting the database.
