Airport extr port setting w/SL server

When moving our offices to a new location I lost all the settings on my Airport extreme.
I have a Mini Server with Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 that's connected to the internet via an Airport Extreme base station.
We have a set of wikis that we usually acces from the internet with a domain name for which the IP was managed by Dyndns. I can access the wiki locally with the local adress (http://miniserver.local/groups/xxx/calendar/ or http://miniserver.local/groups/xxx/wiki/) but can't do it with the domain name as we used to before.
I've opened port 80 on the airport extreme but it still doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Although the information specific to 10.6 has not yet been posted, lynda.com has an excellent step-by-step tutorial on setting up 10.5. server. It will cost you $25, but I believe it will be well worth the time and minimal cost.
At this point, if I were you, I would start over with the Mini. Watch the tutorial on setting up the server in general and especially DNS and then reinstall server on the Mini. Remember that the server MUST have a static IP address.
I hope you have some sort of external storage attached to the Mini as none of the internal drives are anywhere large enough to support 10 users with file sharing and Final Cut. Buy the biggest drive you can get with FireWire 800 and connect it to the Mini.
Once you have the server and DNS set correctly, you can use Workgroup Manager to do all sorts of fun things, including shutting off the internet to client systems. To make it work, though, you will need to bind the client systems to the server.
Not sure about moving to 10.5.x clients of that vintage. I have 10.5.x running on a 1Ghz machine at home and it is slow-going at best. The only advantage to 10.5.x is additional management tools that don't work in 10.4.x. I don't believe the parental controls (which can be used to lock down internet settings) will work the way you need under 10.4.x, but to be honest, I don't remember that far back.
You will use Server Administrator to set up share points, including options to auto-mount a share point (again I highly recommend that this be an external drive). Workgroup Manager is where you will set up student accounts and, if desired, make share points auto-mount. Don't forget to set permissions, too. You can also do cool things like start up and shut down the clients on a schedule.
Disconnecting the system from the outside world certainly has advantages, but it would be nice to be able to get software updates, especially for the server.
Good luck.

Need help w/ setting up ports to run a server for America's Army

Need help w/ setting up ports to run a server for America's Army. I read wat u need to change the ports but i dont understand wat to put. here is wat the site says
Q: How do I run my own server?
A: Quick and dirty server info:
1. Edit RunServer.bat to change the map.
2. Run RunServer.bat
Or:
server.exe LAN MAPNAME.aao (Host a LAN game)
server.exe global MAPNAME.aao (Host a Public game)
Also: When you create a server setup and want to allow other users to join your server, you need make sure the following ports are open for outgoing and incoming traffic in your firewall: 1716 (UDP), 1717 (UDP), 20025-20045 (TCP), and 20047 (TCP). Failure to open these ports will prevent the server from accepting connections from other players or prevent other players from being able to see your server online.
There are several settings that also need to be defined in your server configuration INI file (in the Windows version, these files are located in “My Documents\America’s Army Server Settings\{settings file name}.ini”).
[Engine.GameEngine]
ServerActors=Andromeda.AndromedaMBS
[Andromeda.Andromeda]
GameServerIp=
Make sure that you set the actual IP address of the America’s Army Server under GameServerIp= (for example, “GameServerIp=000.000.000.000”). The supplied address must be your actual internet IP address, if this is left blank or you supply the IP address for your internal network (such as 192.168.0.x), your server will not be able to accept connections from the internet.
If your server.ini file contains the setting shown below, please change the QueryPort setting to 20025. This setting can also be removed, as the default setting is port 20025.
[Andromeda.AndromedaMBS]
QueryPort=20025
Punkbuster user fix correction.
If [Engine.GameEngine] block has been changed to read as below:
[Engine.GameEngine]
ServerActors=IPDrv.AndromedaMBS
Please add the following block to your INI file:
[IpDrv.AndromedaMBS]
QueryPort=20025

Your images are not stored in the catalog. They are stored in folders on your computer. If you imported images that were already on your computer using the "Add" Option they are still in that same folder. If you imported images from your camera then they are in the folders that you specified when you imported. The catalog points to those images wherever they are located, and records all of the adjustments that you make to the image. When you send an image to Photoshop for further editing and save that image in Photoshop, it is normally saved back in the same folder as the original image.
Images are not "saved" in Lightroom. The basic default workflow in Lightroom is to store all of the adjustments in the catalog, leaving the original image completely unmodified. The catalog becomes the central controlling mechanism. It is a database that contains pointers to where the images are located and a record of all adjustments made to those images using Lightroom. Properly managed, you only have those original master files and secondary files for the ones that you have sent to Photoshop for further adjustment. When you want to provide a copy for someone else, you use the export dialogue for that purpose. I often export JPEG images to share with others or to post on the web. After I have usedthe JPEG for its intended purpose I delete it.

Is it possible to set a port number for a server as a value from env ?

Hello,
I'm using the version 6.1 - sp8 and I'd like to set the port number of a server as a value returned by an environment variable. Will this be achievable somehow through the admin console?
In fact, I have an environment variable called '$WEB_SERV_PORT'. I'd need this value to be assigned as the port number for a server. The reason why I am trying to do this is coz I have multiple instances running as different batch accounts and each batch account would be having its own '$WEB_SERV_PORT' which would be the port on which iplanet would be running for that batch account.
I'd appreciate if anyone could help.
Thank you,
Presley.

Hello Sriram,
Thanks for the info that you have provided. I do agree that what you said would be a better approach.
However I've got a couple of questions on the approach that you have suggested (Sorry that its a bit off from the main topic). Just wanted to clarify if what I thought is in sync with the approach that you suggested.
1. As you said, I could setup multiple virtual server within an instance (https-<hostname>) - Does this mean that I am creating "Virtual Server Classes" for each server and through the web-applications tab, assigning the corresponding war file to each Virtual Server Class?
2. Another approach that came upto my mind is that I could create different instances like (https-virtual server1, https-virtual server2, https-virtual server3 etc..). I am assuming that if I follow this approach, I could have each server allocate memory indiviually to the virtual servers. for eg, I could allocate
1024 MB to each virtual server where as in the first approach, I would have to make the 1024 MB to share between all the Virtual Server Classes. And also, in the case theres an issue with one server, I could handle the start/ stop etc individually, where as in the 1st approach, all the virtual classes would be affected by the start/stop. Am I assuming it correctly ?
I'd appreciate if you could let me know.
Thank you,
Presley.

Airport Express questions on wireless print serving

I have a wireless network setup using a linksys router and thinking about using an Airport Express as a wireless print server in another room. I currently have a Canon MP500, 2 wired PCs connected to the router and 2 wireless laptops one Windows and an iBook. Would the Airport Express connect to my existing wireless network to act as a wireless print server for my network?
Thank you
PCs running Windows XP Pro and iBook is running OS X Tiger

Hi, does anyone know how to change the port setting on Windows XP Pro. I recently purchased an Airport extreme and the network is working great, however when I tried to set up the printer the documentation left some key peices of information out.
I had followed the step for installing a printer, but when I got to the point about specifing the adapter type, the documentation in the manual that came with the Airport skipped over that part. I guessed at the adapter and unfortunatly (and obviously after reading the instructions here http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1008.html) I chose the wrong adapter. Now I want to go back and fix it but I can't figure out how. When I tried to run the add printer wizard again and the port setting wizard it said the port (IP_10.0.1.1) was alread in use and kicked me out of the wizard.
How do I change the settings on the port to the correct settings?
Thanks

Airport Express connectivity with a remote server

I have gone to our ISP already with this question, but they cannot assist me. I am hoping someone here will be able to assist me in solving this problem. My boss wishes to connect to our server at our company from his home using an Airport Express. The company's server is housed on our work site and connected to an internal network. This network is in turn connected to our ISP via a DSL modem. We opened the ports needed in order to connect with the server in house and redirected incoming traffic to the server's internal ip address. We had our boss test connecting to the server from his home. He could not do so. We were asked to have him try connecting directly to his DSL (also from the same ISP as what our company has). He will be doing that this evening. However, this does not help the fact that this diminishes the whole idea of him having wireless capability in his home or when he is traveling. We had our ISP test accessing our server remotely using Telnet, and it was successful. They were connected directly, however, not using a wireless network.
Is there something that we are missing here involving some sort of setting? Or is this something I need our ISP to dig into further? Please let us know if you have any ideas or suggestions. Thank you.

To combat the issue, enable an HLB port on your FE servers (or any other pool you are using HLB on) and configure the health checks for the load balancer to use that port instead of the port used for TLS traffic.
Start by configuring the pool in Topology Builder, right click the pool, and choose Edit Properties>General. Place a check in the “Enable Hardware Load Balancer monitoring port” and specify a port.

Open AirPort Extreme ports for directv whole home access, need 8080, 8843, 1701. How do I make these changes?

My Directv Whole Home system is not recognized by my AirPort Extreme. The Directv tech recommended making changes in my AirPort firewall opening ports 8080, 8843, and 1701. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The following are the basics for setting up one of the 802.11n AirPorts for port mapping/forwarding:
AEBSn - Port Mapping Setup
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the DirectTV device.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup > Internet > DHCP tab
On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
Reserve address by: MAC Address
Click Continue.
MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the host computer>
IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn > Manual Setup >Advanced > Port Mapping tab
Click the "+" (Add) button
Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the host server>
Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
Click "Continue"

Port Mapping Filezilla FTP Server

I just got a new AirPort Extreme Base Station (802.11n). I must say, I'm pleased for the most part. I'm having an issue with remotely connecting to my FTP server inside the network though.
Setup:
The whole this is connected as follows:
Cable Modem - AEBS - Wired Windows PC
On this windows PC I run an FTP & HTTP server. Both are functioning properly as they always have, both on the localhost and within the network.
The HTTP protocol is working fine. I have port 80 mapped to my PC's static IP of 10.0.1.100. I can browse my hosted site from a remote PC no problem.
Yet, from a remote PC I am unable to fully establish FTP communication. I have port 21 mapped to my PC's static IP as well. Communication seems to be happening; the remote PC gets prompted for their username and password. Shortly after (within a timeout time), the FTP server replies that it cannout open the data channel.
Data:
Here is the Remote PC's log of the FTP session:

Solutions Attempts:
I have tried mapping the FTP data port (20) to the server's static IP to no avail. I even went as far as setting the server as the default host (DMZ); this didn't work either.
Am I looking at a fresh firmware bug here or am I missing anything? Thanks for your help.
P.S. No changes have been made on the server and every other no name router I've used has successfully port mapped the server; it's definitely the new hardware.

1. Try to connect to your FTP-Server in AKTIVE-Mode,
it's a setting in your FTP-Client
Most all FTP clients are defaulted to passive mode, and I want to connect without asking all users to change their settings.
Previous routers did not require anything like this, why would this new base station obfuscate the setup?
2. Don't use the same AirportXtrem internet
connection (for testing your FTP-Service) where is
your FTP-Server behind. I don't know why, when I try
to establish a connection I could not go out and come
back through my AXtrem on the same way.
Try it with a Modem, UMTS or with another internet
connection.
I don't know exactly what you're talking about. Please explain better or with more details.

Hi Manooh,
Besides disabling IP v6, try reset the TCP/IP in the way below:
Open the command line windows as an administrator and type the command “nets hint ip reset” hit enter, or you can try the fix it below:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
We usually modify the default RDP port 3389 to another value, if you followed this too, you should add an port exception through a firewall in the way below:
1.Open Windows Firewall
2.In the left pane, click Advanced settings.
3.In the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security dialog box, in the left pane, click Inbound Rules, and then, in the right pane, click New Rule.
4. Choose “port” and input the port number as allowed to connect.

Airport Base Station Set Up

Hi, I've been trying to get an Airport Base Station set up for a few weeks. There is currently a problem getting wireless connectivity. The computer recognizes the base station, but does not see the server. I'm not sure how to get a wireless connection from the current location of this base station. The base station is inside of a classroom with reinforced steel walls and a steel door. I believe that this is causing a major issue with getting wireless connection. Is there anything that I can do to try and get connection? I tried hooking up an antenna, but that did not work. The only thing that I can think of is to get a few base stations and just hook them up going up the stairs to this classroom. I'm really pressing for the school to get an Ethernet connection so that we would not have to worry about wireless for this part of the building. This is the only part of the building that is really bad for reception. If there is anything else that I can try to get connection please let me know.

If you could run a length of proper antenna cable to a QuickerTek unit,
a "powered external antenna" could at least get the signal past the steel
and concrete signal barriers. Ethernet into the classrooms and then go
wireless is even better; and depending on class size and expected other
features (such as wireless printing, etc) the options vary in what wi-fi
base you use.
The AEBS seems a bit more durable and has a few more features than
an Express base station; plus the larger unit supports more connections.
But, without a source for a signal, you may be facing headaches.
What about one of those devices that uses electrical outlets for a data
or internet connection? There may be alot of interference in the wiring
in a school or commercial building; but there may be a chance you can
get some kind of device for the ethernet data to flow over AC power wire.
A few, in an older article about data over phone lines, include
adapters from a few companies in this link:
http://www.tidbits.com/tb-issues/TidBITS-482.html
The "Farallon HomeLINE network" was promising in some
cases; if there is something that can send DSL over house
hold or AC wires, then decode it, you may get internet into
a building that has no ethernet and can't get wireless.
Someone probably knows of a newer technology or a way
to work around your isolation issues in a steel/concrete bldg.
PS: Isn't there any technology grants with the phone or ISP
companies in your area from such places as the Gates Found
ation or other networking grants for schools that could have
the phone or internet providers do that wiring upgrade?

I have FIOS and the latest version of the Airport Extreme Basestation set up in bridge mode.

OK need some technical answers I have FIOS and am forced to use their Router. I have WiFi turned off on the FIOS router and my New version Airport Exteme Basestation set up in Bridge Mode. I have CAD 5 running to all my Mac computers and a CAD 5 up to the second floor. I have an older version Airport Extreme Basestation that I would like to connect to the CAD 5 cable on the second floor where the WiFi signal is weak as the main Airport is in the basement. How would I connect the second Airport to the Airport that is in Bridge Mode? Will this setup mess up my signal strength on either CAD 5 or WiFi? I will also have one Macbook Pro plugged into the upstairs Airport. This is mainly for the WiFi for my iPad and iPhone. Details will help. Thanks.

How would I connect the second Airport to the Airport that is in Bridge Mode?
Connect from a LAN <-> port on the Bridge Mode AirPort to the WAN "O" port on the second floor AirPort and then use AirPort Utility on a Mac or iPad to set things up.
Will this setup mess up my signal strength on either CAD 5 or WiFi?
Nothing will be messed up, and you will have a much stronger WiFi signal upstairs.
If you need more details on setup.....we need to know.....
1) What model number of AirPort Extreme will be upstairs. The model number is usually embedded in the foam base on the bottom of the device. Starts with an "A" followed by four numbers. Example.....A1143.
2) What operating system you are using on your Mac, or whether you want to use the iPad for the setup...assuming that the upstairs AirPort is compatible.

Mail port setting for .Mac?

I use Mail for my .Mac account and usually have no problem sending e-mails. However, whenever I am on campus at school I am unable to send out any mail (and thus my messages are always moved to the Outbox but never sent out). Once I reconnect off campus my messages are sent.
Do I need to change a server port setting to have my e-mails be sent out? As of now, it's on the default setting of smtp.mac.com on port 25.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try changing to Port 587. Should work at home, as well. See:

Is it dangerous if I expose UDP 1434 port of SQL 2008R2 server in Azure VM to the Internet ?

I am setting up client/server Application running on SQL2008 server on Azure VM.
Is it dangerous if I expose UDP 1434 port of SQL 2008R2 server in Azure VM to the Internet ?

I do not get your answer exactly , but you mean "That is a much bigger issue from a security perspective." this is dangerous to expose SQL server connection port to the Internet ?
Application uses named SQL instance , so it needs UDP 1434 port to connect to SQL server.
Exposing any server to a network is dangerous.  Exposing a server to the public internet is more risky than connecting to a private network. You cannot eliminate risk but it can be mitigated.
An inherent risk with exposing the SQL Server port is that any client with network connectivity can then try to compromise security, commonly with a dictionary attack.  A malicious user can then gain access to the database limited only by
the compromised account security context.
There are several steps you can take to mitigate this risk. To name a few, allow only trusted IP addresses through the firewall. Run only those services actually needed. Expose only those ports needed. Rename the sa login.
Assign strong passwords to all accounts. Keep all software up-to-date with security patches. Use a service layer to access database services instead of directly from front-end clients.
In your case, you can hard-code the named instance port in connection strings instead of using the SQL Browser service.  Your connection strings do not need to specify the instance name with this technique and UDP 1434 is not needed for connectivity.

Using Airport Express to set up an ad hoc network for presentations

I have to give a presentation where I will both need my MacBook Pro and iPad. I may or may not have a wireless network available (will depend on location). Is there a way that I can use an Airport Express to set up an ad hoc network and use an Apple TV for AirPlay from my iPad and laptop?

Easy to do. Just set up the AirPort Express to "Create a wireless network".
When you see the "error" message(s) that there is not an Ethernet cable plugged into the WAN port and/or no Internet connection, click "ignore" and you will have a green light on the Express.
Wireless devices will connect to the network by selecting it and entering the password.
