Blocking peer-to-peer networks?

Today, I received an emailed notification from Verizon. Apparently, one of my kids downloaded some illegal content using my FIOS account. One kid is on a Mac, two are on PCs. Is there anyway I can setup my Time Capsule to prevent this kind of activity?

Well, you do know that you can set up parental controls on each Mac, iPad or iPhone that the kids might be using, correct?
I haven't used it, but OpenDNS seems to be a popular choice with forum users. Have look here:

How do i set a peer to peer network between my iMac and windows machines?

I want to set up a peer to peer network between my iMac and Windows based computers in my house. I also want it to a wireless set up. Mostly being done to share videos, pictures, and music. Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm trying to connect my MacBook Pro to Wifi using internet sharing
Why?
Just connect the MacBook to the same internet as your iMac.
MacBook > Wi-Fi router > Internet.
You are connected to the internet with your iMac.

Windows 7 Home Premium Peer-to-peer network over a switch

Sorry for asking such a basic question here. I am trying to setup a small office network. There are 5 computers all running Windows 7 Home Premium. Using a switch I want to connect all 5 together. I have a software package running on PC1, which will contain
a database. The other four computers, (PC2, PC3, PC4, PC5), will have a client running on them that will be able to access the database on PC1. I also have two printers and a router for internet access.
I have pulled the cables, managed to cap them correctly (tested them with a cable tester), and have connected the PC's to the switch via the cables.
I have looked on the internet for how connect the PC's together but I am getting confused, between all the videos and websites mixing XP with Windows 7 and Vista and wireless to cross-over and and and.....
Could someone please let me know what I need to do next?

Hi,
In a peer-to-peer setup, every computer are both client and server. each computer communicates directly with others in the network. It's much more common in the home.
You need have a router (possibly with wireless capability) and the necessary Ethernet cords to run the router to the modem and from the router to all of your computers.
Then add them in the same workgroup or HomeGroup.
Here is a detailed guide, please follow that step by step:

Peer to Peer network error 0x80070035 the network path was not found

We are adding an XP computer to a peer to peer network with Vista machines. The Vista machines can see the XP machine in the network but when clicking to get to share files, message comes up Windows cannot access \\XPcomputer. The message adds that there may be a spelling error or that there may be a problem with the network. But the error message is the one listed in the subject of this email.
XP machine is properly set to share folders and there is no other visible proble. There is no message from the antivirus software so I am assuming the address is within the Antivirus acceptable range. Antivirus is Norton 360.
Any suggestions...very frustrating... thank you

SQL Server Expres 2008R2 on Windows 7 peer to peer network using MS Access to connect - ODBC Login Timeout

Hello,
I have had a Microsoft Access database that was running on Windows XP against a SQL Server 2000 database. We are running on a peer to peer network. This all worked fine. Recently I upgraded all the systems to Windows 7 and the Access database
to Office 2013 and setup SQL Server Express 2008R2. I am running into strange problems trying to connect the access database to SQL Server Express.
SQL Server Express was setup with mixed authentication mode.
What is strange to me is that if I run the Access database on the same server as SQL Server Express 2008R2, everything works fine. However, if I run the Access database from a separate system (Windows usernames and passwords are identical on all systems
for all accounts). I get a spinning circle, then after 5 minutes or so I get an error box that says "Connection Failed SQL State S1-T00 - ODBC Login Timeout Expired.
I click OK and then there is a ODBC login box, It has trusted connection box checked. So, I just click ok and everything runs fine.
I have checked with the Access database the ODBC connection string (How do you change this to imbed a username and pwd?) and the connection specifies that trustedconnection = yes.
I have tried setting the odbc connection up to use a SQL Account, I have setup all of the security in SQL so that Windows accounts have access and either works on the system that is hosting the SQL database. But when I try to connect from a separate
machine we have to wait with the timeout and then click okay.
Any Ideas.
Thank you!!!

I have TCP/IP and named pipes.
I will take a look at the kb article.
What puzzles me is that odbc connection is set for trusted connection, the access database is set for trusted connection. But yet it seems that it wants to do a SQL authentication. Then it fails, and then if you simply hit okay to do the Trusted
Connection then it is fine.
I will read about setting the UID and PWD in code. Been a long time since I have done that, but very doable. Then see if the Access DB is setup with the UID and Pwd in the odbc connection string, then switch the odbc connection to be a SQL Server
connect, then maybe it will work.. Crossing my fingers.
I will be back on site next week and will give it a try then.
I will check the ports, but suspect they are fine as it works fine after it has it timed out and you hit okay to connect with a trusted connection.
Thanks for your ideas.

Windows 8.1 Peer-Peer Network

I've been asked to setup a small network of PC's for a small Charity
They need 10 x PC's with Windows 8.1. No budget for a server
8.1 Pro are more expensive - can I setup 1 PC to host file and the other 9 to connect to that
They also have 3 Notebooks which will need access to the central share and about 3 Printers
As they have limited budget I can't suggest a server (well I have but)
I've not setup Peer-Peer for more than 3-4 users - will this work reliably ?
Is there limit to number pf connections - I seem to remember 10 ?
ChrisS

Hello ChrisS,
Please explain a bit about the following question for better analyzation:
1. Do you want one Windows 8.1 pro as file share server ?
2. Why do you want to use Peer to Peer network?
3. What do you mean about the sentence ‘Is there limit to number pf connections - I seem to remember 10 ?’ What is pf connection?

1) which SVN for Access dev? 2) alternative for use on peer-to-peer network ?

a - As I understand it typical SVN solutions require a server on your network... true?
b - Which SVN solution should we consider for keeping up with Access development revisions, etc?
c - Is there a solution that will work on a peer-to-peer network?
d - Free alternatives and low coast alternatives are?
thanks for any help.

> As I understand it typical SVN solutions require a server on your network
Sure, “typical” means “many”, so yes. However many others are file based and ONLY require a share folder and thus don't require a server. And then from that shared folder you can often use add-ons to sync that folder to web based systems like GitHub. So
you can "mix" such file only systems and then over time use web based server with that system that does not require a server, but only a shared folder.
>Which SVN solution should we consider for keeping up with Access development revisions, etc.?
Actually, you can just simply “copy” the current version to some folder before you “release” that version. So copy and add a “version” number to the accDB file. If you application is MyInvoice.accDB, then copy to server with MyInvoice-1044.accDB (verison
1044). Since Access is a “single” file, then this works rather well compared to other systems that have “many” files. In fact I copy both the accDB, and the compiled version accDE to a folder on the server (with version number added to the file name as per
above). Thus you can go back to any previous version with great ease.
However, you might be talking about source code control in addition to versioning of software. (often the term is interchanged, but it should not be). Source code control (SCC) is a “common” means to achieve versioning of software, but ALSO allows multiple
developers to work on the project at the same time (collaboration). So there is a big difference between SVN, and SCC.
Access for a VERY long time has supported Microsoft “standard” source code control interface. While Access is a “single” file, Access is able to “logically” view each application part as a separate file. So the fact of “one” file, or “many” files does not
matter – say no more then a zip file is “one” file, but inside there are “many” files! So SCC is 100% possible in Access, and since Access has a resolution down to an object by object basis? Then developers can check-in/out individual forms, query
code modules etc.
Access versions all the way up to 2010 support the “standard” Source Code interface.
So:
Using GitHub you see this:
Using VSS, you see this:
Note that using Git, TFS, VSS etc, they ALL give the above UI with check boxes beside each object, and all give a cool "check in/check out" right click context menu not shown above.
The above Git shot is running in "file mode" without a server. Visual Source Safe is also file based, but VERY old and quote hard to find now.
So the great news is that Access has for a very long tie supported SCC, and thus is a great way to “version” your software. And Access will show you OBJECTS that are checked in/out by you as per above with the check mark and lock icon.
So inside of the access GUI you could with any SCC system that supports the standard SCC interface would know what objects are locked and you not taken ownership of. (note the "lock" and "check mark" icon beside each object.
However, Access 2013 dropped support for SCC. So all of the above cool options are NOT available for 2013.
Since Access is a “single” container, then versioning tends to be rather easy. Just copy the file to a folder with a version number appended to the file name, and you are done!
You not distinguished between versioning of your software, and that of source code control – so it not clear if you looking to just keep versions of your software, or allow team development on your application?
While SCC will give you versioning, it also allow multiple developers to work on the same application at the same time (collaboration). SVN does not necessary give you this multiple developer ability.
As noted, versioning for Access is easy - just copy the accDB (front end) to a folder on the server with a version number appended to the file name. Works quite well. I have a table in the front end with a version number, and a version number in the back
end table. My deployment code reads that version number and copies the files to the server for me.
(It is assumed that you have a split database).
However, if for 2013 you need both versioning and SCC (say to allow multiple developers), then you likely have to roll your own. I would suggest using “save-as text” command to export all access objects to a folder, and THEN use one of MANY source code control
systems that operate on that folder. Such a setup could easily be cobbled together in an afternoon of your time. And “many” SCC systems provide a GUI that is external to the developer tools/environment. This would allow you to use free tools like Git and GitHub.
For just versioning of your software? Then SCC is likely overkill, and if you using Access 2013, then you cannot use standard SCC providers anymore anyway.

Multiple routers in a peer to peer network

I have a problem getting my computers in my home peer to peer network to recognize each other.
The setup is as follows: I have a DLink DI-604 router connected to the internet (supplied by Verizon as part of FiOS service). When I connect my computers directly to this router, everything works including accessing shared printers and drives.
I also have a Linksys WRT300N router to provide wireless access around the house. When I connect it to one of the DLink DI-604 ports, the router works fine including internet access.
Here is the part I have difficulty with: with my desktops connected directly to the DI-604, and the laptop connected to the WRT300N, I cannot access the desktops from the laptop. Dlink finds the WRT300N and assigns it an IP address (192.168.0.xxx. I can ping through the network, e.g. from my laptop to my desktop. However, file and printer sharing doesn't work, and the laptop cannot find the desktops through e.g. Internet Explorer (all computers are part of the same workgroup).
I have tried changing DHCP settings in the WRT300N - ie. disabling DHCP services to make WRT300N use DI-604 DHCP. Also tried using static IP assignments all around. Also tried disabling NAT in the WRT300N. Also tried changing the IP address of WRT300N to the same network address as DI-604 (i.e. 192.168.0.xxx instead of 192.168.1.xxx). Have also disabled all firewalls (hardware and software). Nothing seems to work, and most of the time I change settings in the WRT300N it becomes inaccessible in spite of multiple reboots etc.
I am not a networking expert and am at my whit's end. Can someone help? The crux of the problem seems to be that I can ping my desktops from the laptop successfully, but nothing else works.
Thank you
David

Yes they are connected, and yes I have tried to disable DHCP in the WRT300N and set the ip address to the same range as the DLink router (192.168.0.xxx). It doesn't work - when I disable DHCP the WRT300N becomes completely inaccessible and has to be reset. I've tried multiple powercycles, reboots of all computers etc but no luck.

Problem with peer to peer networking

My work machine is a new G5 dual 2G, running 10.4.2 with an airport card. It is hooked up by ethernet to our local network. There is no wireless router in my office.
My laptop is a G4 12" running 10.3.9, also with an airport card.
I would like to fileshare by creating a peer to peer network over the airport cards.
SOOoooo, I went to the airport icon in the menu bar, created a network, gave it a password and got a funky little airport icon with a box in the middle. Went to the other computer, chose to join that network, got the same icon. Great, we have a network.
But I can't actually SEE either computer to allow me to fileshare. ( Yes, both computers have personal filesharing turned on.) If I click "network" in the finder window, the G5 sees all the machines on its ethernet network. The laptop sees nada. Crucially, if I plug the laptop in elsewhere on the network, they can see each other (using the server connection option in the GO menu).
What am I doing wrong to enable them to talk?
Thanks....

How to block status profile in Network Activity

Dear All,
Is there any way to block status profile in network activity? Is it possible block base on network type / network profile?
Cheers,
Nies

Hi,
we can block the status profile by using network type. Define your own order types in txn kot2_opa.same will be displayed in txn opsc with out status profile. assign the same network type in network profile.

A single fast connection blocks almost all other network activities

Hi!
If I have a single fast up/download (or enough smaller/slower ones), it is able blocks almost all other network activities:
Torrent without up/down limit => everything else is "timing out" (or something. P.e. load a single page in firefox or ping my router - doing nothing).
Pacman is fetching a package from a fast server => the same.
Pages in firefox don't load if I just stop the fast traffic - it keeps doing nothing until I hit [reload].
Tested a few other network applications (java stuff, wget, curl, whatever pacman uses), it all looks the same.
This hasn't been like this up until a while ago (1-2 weeks?)... during that time, I changed nothing in the whole network except for
1) the arch updates (normal mirrors, no testing)
2) added a debian machine to the network (problem persists if I shut it down though)
Now I don't know where to start searching. Any hints?
Thanks!

As I understand things you are saying one fast connection is blocking out all other connections right?
If so we need some more information.
1. Your basic setup, like are you using a cable modem and what router. wireless?
2. The result of speed tests on your connection both upload and download (e.g. testmy.net)
3. What is the "one" fast connection and how much bandwidth is it taking (bittorrent?)
One thing to look for is that certain routers cannot handle many connections. A few of my old WRT54G routers with stock firmware could only handle 200 connections or so before crashing. So now I use dd-wrt on a WRT54GL.
Some more info on what might be happening:
1. The torrent client is using all the connections so the router cannot handle more connections.
2. The torrent client is taking all the upload bandwidth so the behaviour you describe occurs.
3. The torrent client is taking up all the download bandwidth.
[less likely]
4. Some complex ISP shaping and/or bandwidth limiting?
5. Malfunctioning network hardware locally (i.e. router, NIC, etc.)
6. Wireless router encountering interference thus limiting bandwidth severely?
Some Possible solutions (assuming the common stuff is the case):
1. Get a Better router/firmware.
2. Configure the torrent client to limit connections/upload/download.
3. Setup complex limiting on the local box using iptables.
4. Ties in with #1. Configure router to implement QoS and/or bandwidth limiting based on Application layer protocol/port/Ip address/mac etc. dfepending on situation.

How to setup peer to peer network with Vista machine.

Hello,
I just got my very first Apple computer last week and I'd like to copy some files from my Dell PC with Vista Premium installed. I don't have a wireless network setup yet (hopefully soon), but I'd like to copy some files from my PC to my Mini. I was wondering if it were possible to network the two systems using just an ethernet cable between the two.
Might someone know how to set this up or refer me to a document that explains all the steps needed to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

Apple have a page that talks you through doing this:

Probably a good place to start.

Installation of Oracle Application Server on Peer to Peer Network

I have a network of three machines. One of the machine runs Redhat Linux AS 4 with static IP. I have installed Oracle iAS 10g on one machine. Other two machines are windows machines with static IPs. These are client machines for the AS. All three machines are pinging each other.
When I try to access the iAS from the windows machine, the IE or firefox gives internal server error. All the services on the iAS are up and running.
My question is that is it possible to run oracle iAS without DNS server?
What is the best practice in this regard?
regards

Modify c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host as a text file and add the entries for your ips and hostnames, this file is used intead of DNS or when a DNS is not available.
