Allowing another computer to access my network

I bought an Airport Extreme Base Station for my roommate and I to share. I set up the network, and I can access the network and get on the internet, but she cannot. She can access the network and gets an excellent signal, but it is just a local connection which does not let her access the network. She is using a PC. Is there an administration setting that I need to change in the Airport utility to let more than one computer access the internet?
The user manual is does not describe any of the settings are modes. It is surprisingly awful, compared to the other Apple products I own.

I can help with a few of these things, but I was under the assumption that once the administrator, me, set up a wireless network that people who wanted to use it could just log-on.
When we turned on her wireless card she scanned for networks, the one in our apartment came up first, I gave her the password to log in, but when she logged in and tried to connect to the internet, it said that the network is local only, cannot connect to the internet.
How do I go through setting up the internet, through her computer where it would give me the options, like DHCP, etc? She is using Windows Vista. If I got to a menu like that I can just type in that information to match the information I have in my airport utility.
The network information I set up using airport utility on my computer are Ethernet using DHCP. Everything else is on the default setting, and Connection Sharing is set to Share a Public IP address.

  • What is an access point? How do I allow another computer on my wireless network?

    First of all a basic question, what is an access point? I am trying to allow another computer to access my wireless network and have no idea where to begin. I have seached the Linksys product support website, but was not able to find the help I need and am confused as to what to do. The home computer that my router is setup up to is running Windows Vista. I want to be able get on the wireless internet at my home with my work laptop, which runs Windows XP SP1. I am new to having a router, and would greatly appreciate any help.

    Hi Radeksgirl,
    A wireless access point is where your wireless computer would connect to in order to be able to access the internet wirelessly.
    Linksys wireless routers are also wireless access points, so you can connect a wireless computer to it.
    In connecting wirelessly to the router or wireless access point, it would depend on the wireless utility used on your wireless computer.
    Click here for an example on connecting a wireless computer to the router.
    Hope this helped :-)
    Good luck!  

  • How do I allow another user to access my pictures, etc?

    Hi
    still getting used to the Mac feel, after switching over from Windows, and I have a question that I can't seem to find an answer to.
    I have the following issue:
    Under my account, I have all our family photos and documents. I have also set up a user account for my wife. When she logs on, she can't access our photos, etc., because she has no read/write rights. (Which is logic, since they are my "private" folders.
    I have then logged on myself, used the "info" button on the respective folders in order to give her user the rights to access my folders, but I can't seem to "allow everyone" to access the folder(s). What are the settings I need to use?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have tried to recreate this myself, and your right even after changing ownerships and movie the iPhoto library to the public folder ( Harddrive/Users/Sharing) the second account is still not allowed to access the library. This is strange behaviour because moving the iTunes Music Library to Sharing does allow all users to access the library.
    All I can suggest is that you deselect the option in iPhoto preferences (Advanced) to "copy files to iPhoto library" then store your photos in a folder that resides in the Harddrive/Users/Sharing folder - then your wife can use the import command to add them to her copy of iPhoto (she should also deselect the copy to library option)

    Since this appears to have nothing to do with Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs, I'd suggest you ask in a more appropriate forum, perhaps the Mac OS X Networking forum. You'll be more likely to get opinions and advice on this issue there.

  • Using another computer to access a catalog or files?

    I have LR installed on my MacPro and the Mac just died (graphics card issues). I'm going to just buy a new Mac, though I'm trying to figure out the best way to access everything in LR until then. All of the images and photos are stored on a separate internal drive that I can take out and access via a docking station.
    1. Does the license for LR allow me to install a 2nd copy on my Mac notebook?
    2. If I place a copy of the LR catalog file on my Mac notebook and plug the photos/videos drive into a docking station connected to my notebook, will everything open up?
    3. Any issues with doing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    In Lr go >Edit >Catalog Settings >General tab. It tells you there the name and location of the catalog file.
    If you click on <Show> it will take you into Finder and to a folder named "Lightroom".
    Open this folder. in it you will see the catalog-file; this is the file with the extension <  .lrcat>.
    Besides it is the previews folder. It is the folder with the extension <  .lrdata>.
    It would be best if you would transfer the "Lightroom" folder with all its contents, i.e. catalog file and previews folder to the other computer.

  • My mac just turned off and wont turn on, i have another laptop, I was working on editing a photo shoot in lightroom. Is there a way I can log into my lightroom from another computer to access my catalog?

    My macbook just turned off and will not turn back on. I have another laptop, I was editing a photoshoot, and I needed to access those photos. Is there anyway to log into my lightroom account from another laptop, so that I can access those?

    Unfortunately, your Lr catalogue is stored on the original Mac, so just logging into your account would not work. As a Windows user in your situation, and if the need for speed was essential, I would remove the hard drive from the malfunctioning PCI and connect it to a working example and try to access the catalogue from  an installation of Lr on that one. Is that at all possible with your Mac setup?
    Edit: do you have separate backups of your catalogue, in the cloud for instance, but can the catalogue held there be installed on a different Mac? I 've no idea if this is possible, but if you're a professional facing a deadline etc, it might be worthwhile investigating this possibility if it's impossible to move the hard drive as I suggested above.

  • I already have my itunes library on a nas, i currently sync with one computer, can i change to another computer on the same network and sync with that one instead?

    I don't know if this is me adding files to iTunes when the external wasn't connected

    is it OK to just keep deleting that library on the Air?
    i wouldn't - at least not until i

    The ntfs hasn't seem to be causing any problems, but I've always wanted to know.
    in order for your Mac to write to NTFS drives, it needs some help by installing e.g. the NTFS 3G driver. apparently that or something similar is installed on your Mac already. preferably, it would be formatted for Mac but then windows machines would need to have e.g. MacDrive installed to recognize the drive.

  • How to access applications in another computer

    how to make use of java programs to access
    applications or files in another computer across the
    same network or over the internet. can help???Overly broad question. Next!
    No seriously; what do you want ? Do you want to execute something (a process); do you want to execute it here, or there ? Do you want to connect to some service to do it for you ? Do you want the service to be distributed ? Do you want the service to maintain state ? Do you want to do it transparently inside your code, or do you want to explicitly implement a client API ?
    Your choices range from:
    - nfs or smb (execute here, executable there)
    - rsh or ssh (execute there, if the remote part is UNIX)
    - cgi over http (very common, but stateless)
    - CORBA or rmi (transparent remote OO calling)
    Read up on all these, and provide yourself with answers !

  • How to view aperture library from another computer on network?

    Hi,
    I'd like to simply view (not edit) my aperture library from another computer on my home network. The aperture library resides on a mac pro, and I'd like to see the images on a macbook pro to show family members. On the surface, this seems like a simple concept - as Apple TV can do this with home sharing. Further, itunes can share it's library in this manner.  Is this possible?
    thank you,
    T

    You don't mention which OS you're using and I understand that Lion has changed some of the sharing features but  what you are looking to do is doable.
    Be warned that accessing an Aperture library over a network is slow and definitely not something you want to do if editing except in an emergency and you want to make triple sure that only one user is accessing the library at a time.  But I regularly access libraries over wireless when I'm to lazy to walk across the house and need to check somthing out.
    If you are using Snow Leopard go into System preferences->Sharing and tune on file sharing on the the Mac Pro. If you have the same user name on both systems you should have no problem accessing the library from the MBP.
    If you're on Lion, you'l need to lok up how to enable file sharing. I haven't swithced so I can;r help you there.
    good luck

  • Can't mount another computer on the network, or print, but can see all

    When I attempt to connect to another computer on the ethernet network in the office, I can see lots of other computers on the network but I can't quite get there. This is only a recent problem that began a week or so ago and there were no problems earlier.
    I can make it through Network >> Local >> Select the computer I wish to connect to >> Enter the password >> Select the volumes I wish to mount >> but then that's it, I get the spinning beach ball and nothing more happens. I don't understand how I can be seeing the volume and yet unable to mount it.
    However, at the same time I can also see the printers on the network and am unable to print to them which indicates that there may be a related problem. No-one else on the network is having any issues connecting to other computers or printers.

    I have the same problem - printers, volumes, computers - I have to relaunch the finder as soon as try to connect as a guest or registered user

  • Edit Itunes Library on another computer

    If I get ARD (and pay 300 bucks) - can i go into another computer on my home network and fully edit that computer's itunes library ? tweak playlists etc ?
    basically is ARD like windows RDT ?

    If all you need is to be able to control another computer, then ARD would be vast overkill. If the systems all have Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6, you can use the Screen Sharing built into those versions of Mac OS X to take control of the machine, at which point you can do just about anything you could do from the system itself.
    Regards.

  • Need to Access the dvd on another computer

    To access a DVD or CD on another computer:
    Make sure both computers are on the same network (wired or wireless), and the DVD or CD Sharing software is installed on the computer with the optical drive.
    Make sure the computer with the optical drive is set up to share the disc.
    On a computer with Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sharing, and then select the “DVD or CD Sharing” checkbox. Select “Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive” if you want to be notified when a computer tries to access the drive.
    On a computer with Windows XP or Vista: Open the DVD or CD Sharing control panel and select “Enable Remote DVD or CD.” Select “Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive” if you want to be notified when a computer tries to access the drive.
    Insert the disc into the optical drive.
    On the computer without the optical drive, select Remote Disc under Devices in a Finder window sidebar. If you see the “Ask to use” button, click it.

    If you are using two Macs you can try to do this via Target Disk Mode. Info here:
