BT Voyager 205 & iChat - How to make it all work! (repost)

First posted by Solidsilver, reposting for reference just in case we loss it.

I have just been going through ** to get iChat working with a BT Voyager 205 modem/router.
In the end I contacted Apple and an extremely helpful iChat Engineer from Apple contacted me. With his patient advice and tutor-ship we succeeded in making it all work perfectly.
And what you have to do is a 2 minute job. This is a direct cut n paste of his email to me less my IP address, you just put in yours. No port forwarding or port triggering nonsense. No static IP rubbish. It's all in the Voyager.
Here you go:
Open up a web browser and access the 205 control panel at http://192.168.1.1
Select the 'Advanced' option on the left of the screen to open up the advanced configuration page and then click the 'Advanced....' option.
Enter your username and password when prompted, the default username is 'admin' and the default password is also 'admin'.
Select the 'IP Routing' option in the menu on the left and then choose 'NAT Virtual Server/DMZ' from the NAT Options.
Left click on the 'Add' button and then select 'DMZ' from the rule flavour menu.
Enter a number not previously used by another rule into the 'Rule ID' box, '60' should be fine for most people.
In the 'LAN IP Address' enter the IP address of the Mac found in Network Prefs(I guess it is 192.168.1.XX)
Left click on the 'Apply' button and then left click on the red 'Save' button on the left.
You should then get a confirmation window which you can just close.
All done.
You have now put your Mac in front of the Voyagers Firewall in something called the DMZ or DeMilitarized Zone. If you don't want anymore tinkering, turn your Firewall off in Sharing Prefs and you are good to go.
If you feel insecure you then need to open a few ports in your Mac's Firewall in Sharing prefs.
Click Add and a sheet opens.
In the Port Name select Other
TCP Ports add 5190, 5298 (type them in exactly as I write them here)
UDP Port Numbers add 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403 (type them in exactly as I write them here)
Description add iChat AV to give it a name.
Click OK
Then turn your Mac Firewall on. What you have just done means that though your Mac is not protected by the Voyagers Firewall, it is protecting itself. However, opening those ports allows iChat to communicate through the Mac's Firewall.
Now enjoy iChat.
This tutorial assumes you are using Tiger and Panther.

Hi People,
TCP Ports add 5190, 5220, 5222, 5223, 5298 (type them in exactly as I write them here)
UDP Port Numbers add 5060, 5190, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16384-16403 (type them in exactly as I write them here)
I have re-posted the port info here Adding Jabber ports
The others are colour coded for emphasis

    Hi SolidSilver,
    That's a different way of doing things.
    He has led you through this
    http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/BT/Voyager205/iChat.htm
    but has gone for DMZ rather than the 23 ports that need to be set up. (the pics only show port 5190 and you need more to AV chat)
    If you do fancy the tinkering to get the 205 to be a Firewall as well you have to follow the page to set up port 5190 fo both TCP and UDP
    Next you need to do the other 22 ports on UDP
    They have to be entered one at a time in the 205 so it is time consuming.
    5060
    5678
    16384
    16385
    16386...
    and the others in between
    ....16402
    16403
    The above form your post and this will only work if your computer always gets the smae IP address from the 205 each time it is turned on.
    If you have any connection problems check the System Preferences > Network for your current IP and see if that is where the 205 is send ing the data and amend as required.

  • Need advice on how to make this all work together

    Not really sure where to post this, so I decided to post here.  I'm trying to streamline devices and move more into the cloud.  Because of some weird network issues it is complicated.  
    Currently I have a MacMini at home.  I am a teacher so office-type documents are important.  I'm currently using Mac Office 2011.  I have a netbook that I use to show PowerPoint at school and to have access to documents.  I use Dropbox to keep them in sync.  I also have an iPhone 4 and 3rd gen iPad with unlimited 3G/4G data.
    The big fly in the ointment is that Dropbox is blocked on our school network.  This causes all kinds of problems because it means I have to sync my netbook in the mornings and afternoons or I get conflicts.  Its also a pain to get things off the net.  I have to use my school PC, then USB it to my netbook because it has no net access. 
    I also want to keep school and personal items completely separate. 
    Things I have been considering....
    Moving to iWork apps to make use of Apple's cloud.
    Replacing my mini with a MBP to use as a base at home, and to then be able to take to school.  I would not want to use it on my projector so that's an issue.
    Using an iPod Touch to show keynote presentations.
    Laptop thoughts usually creep in, but to be honest I've never really used them all that often.  I like lots of screen room. 
    I would prefer the iPad to be my main mobile computer.
    Looking forward to any input.

    I have a MBP, IPAD with retina display, and multiple iphones in the family. I have a Airport Extreme for my router and Apple TV hooked up to our lcd TV. The Apple TV is great because you can use any apple device to project whatever your working with onto the Apple TV with Airplay. Not sure if you would be able to connect your Apple TV to the school network, but if you could that would be the answer along with using the cloud. The key would be access to the school network.

  • YES! How to make PRINT QUOTAS WORK with 10.4

    How to make PRINT QUOTAS WORK in 10.4
    After struggling for quite some time, I finally found a pretty simple way to make print quotas work.
    First, I’ll tell you our setup. We have 3 different computer centers with a variety of eMacs and new Intel iMacs, all clients are running 10.4.8, and each of those 3 centers has its own HP Laserjet 4200 printer. Our dual G5 server is running Server v.10.4.8. Client computers and printers have static IP addresses. All clients are bound to the server with the standard WorkGroup Manager/ LDAPv3 Directory Access scheme - such that all students login to the clients with their network username/password to mount their home directory on the client.
    Next, I’ll tell you what does not work. IF YOU WANT PRINT QUOTAS TO WORK, you cannot use Workgroup Manager to assign a printer to any managed user account, user group, or computer group. Why? Because when you go to a client, and Show Info on the printer that is being pushed by Workgroup Manager, you’ll see that the queue name is not the queue that you’ve setup in Server Admin. Instead, you’ll see the queue name is “MCX” or something along those lines. Even if you manually edit the Workgroup print preference file that is being pushed to clients, it still will not work.
    Drawbacks of my technique: In my case, students will see all 3 printers (1 from each lab) available to them no matter which lab they are in. Not the best, but for now I think it’ll be worth it to be able to control wasteful printing. Students may be able to move/delete the preference file (see below), but they’ll only be hurting themselves, as they won’t have any printers at all then.
    Okay, here’s how I did it:
    1. If you have setup any printers to be pushed out via Workgroup Manager’s preference enforcement to individual users, usergroups, or computer groups, turn those preferences off and leave them off.
    2. Delete any existing printers in your Printer Setup Utility and/or Server Admin. Add and setup a new printer queue using the Server Admin> Print service. I added the printer through the Server Admin application, not Printer Setup Utility (may not matter). However, I did go into that latter utility to set the model of the printer. Now, back in Server Admin, edit the printer queue to turn on these services IPP, LPR (bonjour off), and of course check off the enforce quotas box. (No student Windows clients, so I didn’t tinker with SMB print service). I went ahead and specified the standard cover sheet – it will be handy while troubleshooting.
    3. In Workgroup Manager, select the users that you want to enforce quotas upon, go to the Printer Quota tab (not the preference pane) and, in my case, I selected All Queues and specified a quota, and clicked Save.
    4. Delete all printers that appear in the Printer Setup Utility from each client computer (I know, UGH).
    5. For all network users, you need to edit a preference file and put it into each user’s home directory. That file is “com.apple.print.favorites.plist” and as you guessed, it needs to go into the Library> Preferences folder of every one of your network users’ home directories. Now, the content of that file is crucial… what it should show is the name of the queue(s) you created in Server Admin above, and be immediately followed by an “@” and the address of the server that is hosting that queue. For example, my queue’s name is TCStudentQ and the server’s address is student.mydomain.org… so my preference file has this entry: [email protected]. If you have more than one queue, you’ll have more entries. Be sure that the network user has at least Read level access under Group or Others. I’d recommend making the server System account the Owner of the file, and be sure to lock the file so the users can’t easily trash it. If you don’t know how to create this file in the first place, what you can do is go to a client computer, and log into the client with a dummy network account. Then open Printer Setup Utility, and you should see the queue you created in step 2. Add that printer, and then the file will be created in your dummy account’s home directory under Library> Preferences. Now you can use that file to distribute to other user’s folders… but don’t forget that each user needs Read level access.
    6. That’s it. Works for me. When they exceed the quota, all that spits out is the cover page. It’d be nice if there was a quota monitor utility on the client side so users can see how many pages they have remaining and when the quota will automatically reset. I plan to start the quota on a Monday morning and go on a weekly duration. Not sure what a good starting point is… perhaps 25 pages every school week.
    7. Hey Apple Computer, Inc. Server Developers & Project Managers, I truly hope you’re reading this and can explain why print quotas don’t function as you have documented and advertised. I don’t mean to toot my own horn, but I’ve spent way too much time discovering this workaround, and I know it will help thousands of others with the same problem. I can see where your Print Quota system breaks down, and I think you need to fix these issues or at least document them. Don’t forget to fix serious 10.4 Server bugs before leaving it behind for 10.5 Server – many of us will continue using 10.4 Server for at least another year or two.

    David,
    Your assumption that I didn't read the documentation is incorrect. I read that 10.4 documentation over and over - followed it to the letter to no avail. Perhaps it was updated in the last few weeks? So, do you have a fully operable printer quota system in conjunction with a managed computer or user group that has a managed printer pushed to the group via Workgroup Manager? I can push a managed printer to a managed group without a problem, but the quotas won't be enforced unless I use the workaround above and cut Workgroup Manager's managed/pushed printer out of the picture.
    I know this is a user-to-user forum - however, I'm also aware that Apple tech support often chime in here, so it doesn't hurt to post a message to them in the context of a larger posting about a 'known issue'. I have used the server feedback form... hasn't seemed to me to be very helpful in the past.

  • How to make my wifi work . I'm using HP PAvilion G series Windows 7

    can somebody teach me how to make my wifi work. The guy from the place where i asked them to fix my laptop told me to download drivers from sites. and he gave me a list of drivers.

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

    Suddenly the apps I downloaded won't work. The screen "blinks" for a second as if the app is loading, and then returns to the home screen. All the apps that came with the iPod seem to be working fine. How to get them all working again?

    First try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If still no luck, try downloading another free app from the App Store.

  • How to make Folder Action work on file, subfolder content change?

    Hi!
    I looking for information in how to make a Folder Action, Work Flow or any action from Automator to work on file change and not only on deletion, moving or insertion. What I want to know is if it's possible to trigger some script or app while monitoring a folder and its contents, files and subfolders, changes. Meaning that when I have a file that has its contents updated the action will be triggered like an txt file that I only insert a new line in it, for example.
    Is there any solution that is not third party? Is there an internal Mac OS X solution that would work on Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion?

    i have same problem. i would like to move automatically saved Word backup copy to another folder, but the folder action doesn't recognize the save as a new file that needs to be acted upon.

  • E535 - How to make USB stick working again

    Hi all!
    Recently my E535 does not recognize my USB stick anymore.
    Other computers do recognize it, the E535 not.
    I already formatted the stick, but that makes not difference to the E535.
    The device manager does not show any suspicious device.
    The disk manager does not show the stick's partition.
    When I stick in the stick, the USB devices icon in the task bar shortly shows up, but then immediately disappears.
    Interestigly the Lenovo Solution Center shows up three 'unknown device's.
    Does anyone have any idea how to make my E535 accept my USB stick again?
    Kind regards,

  • How to make sure all my automatic test case run in one session?

    Hi guys,
        I'm doing some automatic test for our products.
         Now i'm hindered by an issue(maybe,due to my wrong configuration).
         I've wrote some test method in a Coded UI Test project,and these run perfect on local machine.And i build an environment includes Builder Controller,Builder Agent,TestController and Test Agent etc, and that the test cases have been written
    in MTM already. 
          After that,i built the project,deployed the project and run the Coded UI Test on Test Agent machine,and i found it seems that he test cases run on different sessions.I have no idea how to config or set up to make sure all my test cases
    run just in one session.
        Could anyone help me,please?

    Hi dean.chen,
    >>I found it seems that he test cases run on different sessions.I have no idea how to config or set up to make sure all my test cases run just in one session.
    According to your description, could you please tell me what the different sessions are when you run the test cases in MTM?
    Why did you want to run the test cases in one sessions?
    where did you see the test cases run on different sessions?
    Could you please tell me how many test agents machine you use to run these automatic test cases in MTM?
    As far as I know that if you just use one test agent machine to run these automatic test cases in MTM, these test cases will be run one by one on the one test agent machine.
    To help you solve this issue, please tell me more detail message about this issue.
