Adding external HD to network

I have a Macbook Pro 10.5.8 and a iMac 21.5" 10.6.2 and a LaCie 500gb external HD.
My iMac is delivering internet via AirPort to my Macbook since I don't have a wireless router.
I want to plug the LaCie into the iMac and have access to it from the Macbook.
Sharing already works; I've shared printers, done screen sharing, and enable file sharing so I can browse each computer from the other.
I tried adding the LaCie as a shared folder, but it still doesn't show up on the Macbook.
Tell me what to do?

The connected drive will not be in the desktop folder when connected over the network. When you first connect to the iMac, you should see a list of shared folders (and if admin) like the following: Macintosh HD (or whatever your boot drive is named), Admin's Shared Public Folder, User2's Shared Folder, External Drive 1, External Drive 2...; This list is visible if you click the iMac in the shared section of a finder window and authenticate. This is where you would see the drive and be able to mount it over the network as afp (or smb).
The drives may appear on the desktop, but they aren't in the Desktop folder (if you open the desktop folder of the iMac, you won't see the drive in this folder). The drives are mounted in the /Volumes folder (a hidden folder at the root of your boot drive). If you were to press Cmd-Shift-G, it brings up a dialog asking where to go. If you put in /volumes, you should see the drives connected to the local machine. If you were to mount the iMac's boot disk and open it's root level and go to folder (Cmd-Shift-G) Volumes (no / since / is your boot drive, we want a relative path), i think you will see the drives connected to the iMac.

User authentication in Cisco ACS by adding external RADIUS database

Hi,
I would like to configure the below setup:
End user client (Cisco Any connect/VPN client) -> ASA 5500 (AAA client) -> ACS server -> External RADIUS database.
Here ACS server would send the authentication requests to External RADIUS server.So, i have added the external user database (RADIUS token server) in
ACS under External databases.I have added AAA client in Network configuration (selected authenticate using RADIUS(VPN 3000/ASA/PIX 7.0) from the drop down.
Here how do i make ASA recognize that it has to send the request to ACS server. Normally when you use ACS as RADIUS server you can add an AAA server in ASA and test it.But here we are using an external RADIUS server which has been configured in ACS, so how do i make ASA to send the requests to ACS server?
Any help on this would be really grateful to me.
Thanks and Regards,
Rahul.

Thanks Ajay,
As you said nothing needs to be done on ASA side, if we are using an external user database for authentication.
Im a newbie to ACS and this is the first time i'm trying to perform a two factor authenticaton in Cisco ACS using external user database.
By two factor authentication i mean, username + password serves as first factor (validated by RADIUS server), username + security code (validated by RADIUS server) serves as second factor.So, during user authentication i enter only username in username field and in "password" field i enter both "password + security code". Our RADIUS server has already been configured with AD as user store, so we dont have to specify AD details in ACS. I have done the following in ACS to perform this two factor authentication.
-> In external user databases, i have added a external RADIUS token server.
-> In unknown user policy , i have added the external data base that i configured in ACS into the selected databases list.
-> under network configuration, i have added the Cisco ASA as AAA client (authenticate using RADIUS (Cisco VPN 3000/ASA/PIX 7.x+)).
Just to check whether user authentication is successful, i launched the ACS webVPN using https://IP:2002, it asked me to enter username and password. So, i entered username and in password field i entered "password + security code". But, the page throws an error saying "login failed...Try again".I cant find any logs in external RADIUS server.
Here is what i found in "Failed attempts" logs under Reports and activities.

Adding external photo galleries, calendars, etc. in Catalyst

Is there a way of adding external photo albums, calendars (ie. yahoo, google) into a website made in Flash Catalyst?

The short answer is no. If these modules need to be within the design of the Flash Catalyst project, you can add them using Flash Builder to add them in. This method will require some effort and knowledge of ActionScript and the Flex Framework. If these modules need to next to the Flash Catalyst project, then you could modify the produced HTML file that contains the Flash Catalyst element and insert the modules.
Either way, you will have a modest amount of development to add these elements to your project.
Good luck,
Chris

Adding external jars

Hi,
I have a jar file in the ext folder of BPEL. When i use the class in java embedding activity it says class not found error how do i solve it. Or please tell me the procedure of adding external jars
Edited by: user10545499 on Nov 5, 2008 9:40 PM

To make external Jar files available in your BPEL PM, you could put the files in:
[ORACLE_HOME]\bpel\system\classes
Restart the server, you they are read when BPEL PM is started. If you want them available in the whole J2EE environement, you sould place them in the j2ee enviornment.

External tables on network folder

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an external table that point on a network folder.
On Win2008 I've mapped Y: for network path ('\\remotesrv\xxx\')
Now I'm creating dir
CREATE DIRECTORY ext_tab AS 'Y:'
GRANT READ,WRITE ON ext_tab TO myuser;
CREATE TABLE ext_t
field1 ...
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY ext_tab
     ACCESS PARAMETERS
       ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
        ....Unfortunately when I select from ext_t i get "KUP-04040" error. File not found.
Do you know if it's possibile in Oracle 11g make external table pointing network folder ?
Thank you in advance.

It doesn't work.When are you creating the mapping? If the mapping is created after the database has been started then Oracle won't be aware of it. It has to be created as a startup script.

Can I extend time capsule by adding external drive connected TC via USB?

Hi,
I use my TC drive for backups, i's now full. Can I extend time capsule backup drive by adding external drive connected TC via USB? If yes, how do I his? I have 1TB WD external drive connected via the TC's USB, I can see the WD drive in the finder and the TC set-up...but I don't know where to go from here...
Thanks for your help
Steveru

Welcome to the discussions, Steveru!
I think what you are asking is can you simply continue Time Machine backups by adding the new USB drive, correct? The answer is not exactly. See below for details.
To use the new USB drive for Time Machine backups, you'll need to Open System Preferences (gear icon) on the dock and open Time Machine. Click on Select Disk and click your USB drive to highlight it, then click Use for Backup. Here's the rub....Time Machine will make a new full complete backup of everything on your Mac's hard drive. There's no way to avoid this. After that, it will continue to make scheduled incremental backups just like it did before on the Time Capsule.
If you ever need to go back to your original backups on the Time Capsule, you'll need to right-click the Time Capsule icon on the dock and choose Browse Other Time Machine Disks.
When the USB drive start to fill, you may decide that you no longer need all the old backups on the Time Capsule disk since you should have a good history of backups on the USB drive at that point.
So, you could erase the Time Capsule disk and then start backing up to the Time Capsule disk again. At that time, it will also make a complete backup on the first pass and then normal incremental backups from that point forward. When the TC begins to fill again, then you could erase the older backups on the USB drive and start backups again on that drive. Then switch to the other drive in the future to keep things going indefinitely. If you go with this type of flip flop plan, you should always have a solid history of many months of backups at any given time.
Will a plan like this work? I don't answer a question on the forum unless I've done it myself. This has been working well for me for almost 3 years.
Pondini, the resident expert on Time Machine and Time Capsule affairs, may have some comments on this as well. If you haven't already seen his excellent guide, Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule or +Time Machine FAQ+, these are the best available sources of information on this subject on the Internet.
Or, if you don't want to erase any your backups, you could of course keep adding a new USB drive when the current drive is about to fill.

Help adding second Wi-Fi network on same AP

I am looking for assistance in trying to setup a second wireless network so we would have two SSID’s (one for public and one for private users).
Our network is setup with native VLAN1 for wired computers and VLAN107 for wireless computers and everything is working great. I’m trying to add VLAN110 as the additional wireless network.
We are using a Cisco WLC2112 and 12 Cisco LAP1131 access points for the wireless network.
The wired network us using Cisco 3500 series POE switches and a Cisco 1800 series router.
The ports on the switch that connect to the AP’s are configured as follows:
switchport access vlan 107
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
I’m having trouble getting my head around how to setup the second wireless network on its own VLAN (VLAN110), while still using the existing access points. I have added the additional wireless network on the WLC2112, have setup a DHCP server for the new VLAN, but it’s getting an IP address from the same scope as VLAN107.
Where do I configure the new VLAN information on the wireless controller?
Should the ports on the switch that are connected to the AP’s be changed to trunk ports to accommodate both VLANs?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

HI Mark,
1.You need to create a dynamic interface on WLC.
Controller>Interface> click on New, enter interface(e.g. private) and Vlan ID:110 and apply.
Interface >edit page will appears, then u can enter network , mask and DHCP server address...etc.
2. Now you need to create a WLAN.
WLAN> create New, enter profile name , ssid and Wlan ID here then clcik on apply WLAN>edit page will appear.
Staus should be enable
Choose the right dynamic interface , which we created in step 1.
Chosse specifiy Security and other feature.
3.Configure swicth port for vlan 107 , 110 where WLC is connected.
I hope AP are in same network as your Management interafce of WLC.
Regards

Adding SG300 to exisiting network

I am not an expert in the network field.
About a year ago, I upgraded old network equipment with Cisco 2950 and 2960's to get some consistency in house.
We are about to switch over to a VOIP system, and we decided to replace all switches with Cisco Small Business SG300 POE to make like simpler, and hopefully faster.
Problem is, we give it an IP address, rename the switch and have updated to the newest firmware. We plug it in, and in seconds, it shuts down my network.
When I look at the log, we get a native VLAN mismatch, then Loopback error.
Obviously I need some more basic configuration. I assumed I would just be able to plug these in and swap similar to the way I upgraded my 2960's.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
SG300 series switches have all the default settings to simplify voice and data network implementation but...
if you are adding to Cisco enterprise network there are several things which needs to be consider:
1. PVST is not supported ad only common STP is MSTP
2. VTP is not supported so all the trunks needs to be configured one by one manually
3. when setting up access port for desktop+phone on SG300 port needs to be in trunk mode and data vlan set as native and auto-voice vlan enabled
If you still have some problem we would really need to look at your topology and devices interaction in details and I would recommend you to open ticket with Cisco Small Business Support team:

Can't See All Folders of External Drive on Network

I recently got my first Mac - a beautiful MacBook, which I love. I switched from a WinXP system. I have loads of photos and iPod videos on an external drive (fairly new), and music on a separate external drive (both are USB). Both are connected to a desktop G5 system in one room of my house, and we're using a wireless network to see everything.
My Mac's iTunes sees all the music fine, so that's not a problem. However, the other drive... it's seen, and I can get to the pictures (normal pix from my cameras), but the Mixed Media folder, which contains the iPod videos, appears as that grey, glass-tv-screen-looking icon and won't let me do anything with them - On one hand, I want to import my iPod videos to my new iTunes library, and on the other hand, I want to be able to manage my photos on the Windows side (using Parallels) because since I was a WinXP user all these years, I have Photoshop for Windows. But I need my iPod vids. Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

Gail Burt wrote:

Do you mean like this?
I'm not an expert on this but I get these files now and again with my job where clients upload fonts to our FTP from a PC. These are files that OS X doesn't recognize or doesn't have the software to open it. It's probably because your drive was formatted for PC. Do the iPod video files have a file extension at the end of the filenames such as .mp4 or .mpeg (or whatever the correct extension is for iPod video, mp4 I think)? If not and in my experience, adding the correct extension to the file usually enables OS X to recognise and open the file. Try it with one of your files and see if it opens.

Adding External USB Hard Drive to wrt610n

Hi Everyone,
I just swapped out D-Link with the wrt610n and couldn't be happier with the new found LAN connectivity.
I'm exploring the possibility of adding an external usb hdd to the usb port. I changed the IP address of the router to 192.168.0.1 to match the rest of my LAN (D-Link network originally). The thing that bothers me is that the ip adress for the shared hdd shows as 192.168.1.1 in the storage configuration page.
Is this just hardcoded info on the page or does the hdd really have an ip address of 192.168.1.1, compared to the router of 192.168.0.1 ? If this is real, why can't you change the ip address of the usb storage ?

Just Power Cycle your Network and check if that makes any difference...
Unplug the Power to the Modem and the router, wait for a minute, plug the power cable to the modem and wait until all lights are lit and then plug the router power cable, see if this helps...

Sharing external drive over network - problem

Hey guys,
I searched the forum, but nothing posted to other threads helped.
I want to share a LaCie external USB drive over my network. It consists of two macs: a mac mini and a macbook running OSX 10.4.9.
The external drive is formated in FAT32. I enabled sharing in the system pref. but I don't see it when trying to connect. I installed SharePoints and shared it from there, still nothing. I tried connecting using the "afp://..:" stuff, but I get an error message, saying I cannot connect.
Got some ideas?

Thanks for your reply
Did you use the little "Show File System Attributes" yet?
Yep, it's r&w
Did you use the enable Windows(smb)Sharing to Shared?
Yes
Did you add Users yet?
Yes, my username which i use to connect is added.

Adding external RSS feeds

I have a forum as well as a main website. The forum generates its own RSS feed and I would like to add this to the home page of my website so I can display a box with the latest posts from my forum. I have seen many things on Google about creating your own RSS feeds from scratch but I can find anything about adding a remote RSS feed to a site in DW. Is this possible to do?

How are you running IPB right now? Are you paying for a hosting package or do you have a license that you can install it anywhere?
If you are just running a forum through them without buying a license and you don't have PHP available to you with the rest of your hosting then that could be an issue. The only other way it could be done is probably with Javascript or there may be a JQuery option to run it, but it will be coding the pages manually rather than going through DW.
Now with XAMPP if something did not uninstall properly, I would recommend downloading the installer package again, running it and then uninstalling it. It really won't leave security holes on your machine unless you setup your firewalls to allow external access to your ports. By default I believe XAMPP changes the port from the default of 80 to something else for the website. Personally speaking I've used WAMP on Windows and MAMP on Mac. I have not had much luck running the XAMPP packages for Windows or Mac myself.
To set up the test server, all you really need to do is select the server model. The rest is if you have a testing server that you publish to before the site goes live, or local/network if you are testing locally on your computer, in which case the path would be the path to your defined site folder. However, if you select None for Access, you won't be able to test the page before putting it on your website.
Lastly when you uploaded to your webserver did you upload all associated files to make this work? That is the PHP document which is where you want the feed to go, the XSL document which contains the feed and formatting, and the "includes" folder that DW creates with an MM_XSLTransform folder and file.

FiOS HD-DVR crashing since adding external eSATA drive

After the recent firmware update, I added an 2TB external eSATA drive to my FiOS DVR. I'd really been looking forward to this because our DVR had been perpetually 90+% full. After a couple of reboots, the drive was recognized and showed as a second DVR at 0% full in the DVR Status menu. Just to make sure everything worked, I scheduled a bunch of recordings to make sure it was utilizing the new drive.
A few days later, we found that the DVR had erased several of our recordings because it was out of space. Checking the DVR status again, the new drive had disappeared.
After a couple of reboots, it appeared in the status menu again, and the DVR started recording to the external drive. But a few days later, my wife couldn't find the recordings. Turns out it had disappeared again.
This pattern has repeated itself several times over the last couple of weeks. On two occasions, the DVR has completely frozen while we were in the middle of watching something, necessitating a complete reboot in order to watch TV, and interrupting any recording that was going on in the background. Each time, at least 2 reboots has been required before the eSATA drive appears.
Needless to say, this whole thing is a disaster. I spent a ton of money and the result is poorer service quality. What can I do to fix this?

After a few minutes searching I found the link of recommended drives.
http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSTV/Other+Hardware/eSATA/129841.htm
Here's a snipet from that page...

Adding external mail contacts to a distribution group seems to randomly add the user instead of the mail contact

I've added a external mail contact for all my mailbox users because all the users have other jobs and other external email addresses. Since these users don't normally log on to my domain to get email, I need to create a distribution list with all their
external email addresses. I've scripted the creation of all the external mail contacts, from the mailbox users and I use AD's Notes field to contain the users external address. When using add-DistributionGroupMember and supplying the external mail
contact email address as the "-Member" param, about half of the time the users mailbox user gets added to the group instead of the external contact. I don't see any arguments to tell add-DistributionGroupMember to use only mail contacts.
1) I don't even know how it's finding the mailbox user because I'm supplying an external email address which is only in the external mail contact.
2) Some members of the group are correctly added as external contacts, some are mailbox users.
3) I only want the external mail contacts in the group
If it helps, here's the line that I use to add members to the group. I've tried mail enabling the mail contacts, no help...
Add-DistributionGroupMember–identity“AltEveryone”–member(get-QADuser$_.Name).Notes
Thanks for any help.

You should ask questions like this in the Exchange forum. It is not a scripting question but is a product behavior question.
You cannot add an external contact without first creating the contact first.
