Home Hub 3/USB HDD causing internet connection to ...

Hi Guys,
I've been using a Home Hub 3 for a couple of years without any real problems. I recently decided to plug a USB HDD into the hubs usb port to act as shared storage on the network. I initially tried using an unpowered portable HDD which failed to work (I've since found out that the port does not have the power to power these devices).
I then tried a powered HDD which worked well and I was able to map to my network. However with in 24 hours I started noticing very frequent intermintant dropping of my internet connection. Through elimination I have isolated the cause to the USB drive. On removing and powering the drive the internet connection returns to being stable with no problems.
To test if it was just a fault caused by that particular USB drive I installed a USB flash drive (I have read that the port outputs enough power for a simple thumb drive) to see if the problem was recreated. Again the drive was recognised and I mappped it to the network sucessfully. However the intermitant problem has again become apparent. It has again also been corrected by removing the drive from the home hub.
The outages seem only to be with the internet connection. The wireless network with in the home remains up and running without interfernce. The outages are all for several seconds before self correcting and can happen almost continually making the web virtually unusable. For example it has taken me 5 or 6 attempts to post this message.
Any help on the cause of this problem and solutions would be greatly appreciated. I'd really like to avoid buying a NAS etc if unnecessary.
Many Thanks,
Jeff

...HDD needs to be formatted in FAT32...
Hi Nick,
Thanks for that info, and the above probably explains why it didn't work with the drive I tried it on - I'm pretty sure I formatted the one I tried to NTFS - I shall have to test it with a thumb drive.
Also, if you're looking at going down the NAS route, I've also been looking into getting a NAS and have had Netgear recommended to me - I know they're a good manufacturer, and from what I've seen it looks like you get pro-level features (such as RAID 5 (improved error correction/redundancy (for models with 3 or more drive bays)), hot swap (so you can swap out a dead drive without switching the unit off), and so on) at much closer to consumer-level prices - not 100% sure if they do one with FTP/web access, but I'd be surprised if they didn't.
Worth shopping around - there's a lot of alternatives on the market these days.

How to share an airport connected USB Disk over internet

Hi all,
I'm trying to get my AEBS connected USB Disk to be accessible over the internet, so I can access it when I'm not at home.
In Airport Utility I checked both 'Share Disks over WAN' and 'Share Disks over the internet using Bonjour'.
I've also set a few accounts who can connect to it (instead of being guests).
But what's next?
I can connect to the disk in Finder by selecting the menu-option 'Connect to server' and typing in 'afp://ip-address' (where IP-address is for the AEBS) as long as I'm in my home network, but I tried the same at my work but that doesn't work.
Do I have to configure the AEBS in some other way to make this possible?
Any help, advice would be appreciated.

Using the AirPort Utility, you will need to both enable File Sharing and configure the AirPort for Port Mapping. (Note: It is assumed that your 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) is the only Internet router in your current network configuration. That is, it is connected directly to a broadband Internet modem, and not another router upstream of it.)
The following are the basic steps to configure an AirPort Disk to be accessed from the Internet:
Start the AirPort Utility > Select the AEBSn, and then, note the IP address shown.
Select Manual Setup.
Verify that Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address is selected on the Internet > Internet Connection tab.
Select Disks, and then, select File Sharing.
Verify that both the "Enable file sharing" and "Share disks over WAN" options are enabled.
Verify that Secure Shared Disks = With a disk password. (Recommended)
Verify that AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed. (Recommended)
Select Advanced, and then, select the Port Mapping tab.
Click the plus sign to add a new port mapping.
For Service, select the "Personal File Sharing" option. (Note: This option would only allow Mac clients to access the AirPort Disks. If you want both Macs and PCs to connect, you would need to leave this field at its default value and enter the appropriate SMB ports to the mix of ports to be opened.)
In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 8888) that you choose. In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your AEBSn that you wrote down in step 1. In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548. Click Continue.
In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "AirPort Disk File Sharing," and then, click Done.
Click on Update.
To connect to the shared AirPort Disk from a remote location using a Mac:
From the Finder > Go > Connect to Server.
Enter the DynDNS-provided Domain Name or Pubic (WAN-side) IP address of the AEBSn, followed by a colon and the Public port number that you choose in step 11 of the previous procedure. For example: afp://www.mydyndnsdomain.com:8888 or afp://123.456.789.123:8888
Click Connect.
You should be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password should be the Disk password for the AEBSn that you created in step 6 previously.
Click Connect.

After iCloud can no longer see my HD over internet

Used my HD over the internet that is connected to the back of my AE using mobileme
After iCloud this seems to have stopped. I just asume you can no longer do this under iCloud.
It was easy log into my laptop over the internet with my mobile me, the HD would show up in side bar... not now

For anyone who may have this problem in the future, I thought I would post a reply myself on how I solved this problem.
The problem turned out to be my router. In the middle of the night I had an idea, so I rebooted my router & switches & now ALL the computers (even the Windoze ones) show up!

How can I share my iPhoto Library over internet

My friend and I want to share our iPhoto Library(size 5.19 GB and growing). We don't live together so we are not on the same network.
We were really hoping we could do this with mobile me. This is what we thought we could do with mobileme(but later found out it's not possible). Not possible but this is what we want to do: *We thought we would be able sync our iphoto library. This way we could work on or off line, make changes in iphoto have it auto sync and when he went to iphoto he would see the changes I made and he could make changes and I would see them when I went to iphoto. No one would have to manually sync or have to remember to sync.* On Mobile Me the sync function doesn't do it with iphoto. Are you aware of a company, software, or service that would allow us to do this?
Of if you don't know of a way we can have it sync then do you know of a service that we can store our library on and work from. The key would be to be able to work on the file while it's on their server at a reasonable fast speed. Doing it this way nothing would be physically stored on our computers. It would be stored on somoene else's server.
*Below are our options we are aware of using mobile me*(We are looking for other options:
We thought we could use mobile me to sync, but it doesn't sync iphoto. We could use idisk(in conjunction to or .mac account). We would upload the library to idisk, then when we wanted to use it we would download it to our computer make changes and upload it and the next person could do the same. The only problem is with it being so large it takes a very long time to upload to idisk/.mac account and up to now I haven't been able to get it up on .mac(I just got off the phone with mac and we tried everything and it the idisk sync just fails everytime.)Even if it did work it's not what we are looking for. The other option I am aware of would be to use *Back to My Mac*(also part of mobile me). This would entail both of us leaving our computers on(not in sleep mode) and we could log on to the other computer and grab what we want make changes and return it.
If you have other ideas please suggest.

YOu can share photos via web galleries but not the iPhoto library directly - and even if you were on the same network there is no ability to sync two iPhoto libraries
As to ahving your iPhoto library on the internet - no to that too - even a wireless connection to the library does not work - too slow and too unreliable - putting it on the net is not possible unless someone comes up with a giant step that direction
in addition to web galleries you can upload to your iDisk or to a third party service - Back to my Mac I guess would be a way - you would have to update yoru computer and your buddies doubling your work and increasing the time a lot more than that

Jetpack 5510l has no wifi signal - can only connect via usb to get Internet.

Bought this device on a Thursday and it worked flawlessly - until Saturday. The device has had a consistent connection to Verizon, but on Saturday the wifi began to 'go out.' The device showed everything was working, but the wifi radio seems to have just turned off (after intermittently failing for a period of a couple hours). We tried several different devices, none showed a working wifi signal coming from the mifi by the end of the day.
What we have done so far:
Rebooted.
Removed battery (after shutting down), restarted.
Used hard-reset button.
Used web intefrace to turn wifi on and off - and on, changed ssid, passphrase, reset again (after each phase we also gave it an hour to see if the signal would return).
Nothing has gotten the wifi from the device back online - it's as if either the radio or wifi antenna is completely broken. We attempt to connect using 3 or 4 different devices - so it is most certainly the mifi. There are no errors from the device - is there a debug / test mode?
Our current workaround is to connect via usb to a Macbook and just share the internet connection - which works great, but makes travel a bit more difficult if a computer has to be connected to allow us to have a wifi signal (not from the mifi).
Regards.

Taking the Jetpack apart is going to void your warranty. I would not suggest going down that road until your warranty is up. Instead give VZW a call and have them ship you a replacement under the warranty service agreement. You have done a perfect job of isolating the problem to a wifi radio issue. Its easy to recreate and confirm which will make the phone call fairly quick. Unless you got sold on some kind of Best Buy warranty and prefer to go through them, VZW is going to be your best bet at getting a speedy replacement.

Can't Administer Remote ARD Clients Over Internet

I am attempting to use Apple Remote Desktop to administer a computer in my office remotely from my home. So far, I have been unable to access it remotely (everything works fine if I am within the same LAN as the target computer). As far as I can tell (from reviewing other posts in this forum), I have configured everything correctly to make this work, but still no luck. Here are some details about my setup...
The target network router has a dynamic public IP address assigned by my ISP, so I have set up a dynamic DNS host for it at DynDNS.com and installed their DNS updater software on the client computer to properly resolve the hostname to the current IP address of the router. I set up port forwarding on the target network router for ports 5900 and 3283 (both TCP and UDP) and directed those ports to the internal static IP address of the computer I am trying to administer. I have tested the ports using the DynDNS Open Port Tool and both ports return a result indicating they are open and accepting connections.
When I attempt to access the target computer through ARD from outside the LAN, I am entering the dynamic DNS hostname in the "Network Address" section of the Scanner and it will show up immediately in the computer list below with the correct public IP address listed for the network router. However, when I attempt to add the computer to a list so that I can begin administering it, I am unable to verify my username and password for that target computer and it results in the entry showing up in the list as "offline." As I mentioned before, I can access this computer without difficulty using the same username and password when I am located within the LAN, so it does not seem to be a problem with those.
It would appear that my queries to this target computer are not getting through even though I have forwarded the necessary ports in the router. Any thoughts?

You want to be careful about opening ports that don't need to be opened, I'm not any kind of expert, but if you only need tcp, don't open udp just incase. Close the udp.
I know, I just opened it up to test things out. I closed it again as soon as I determined that was not the solution.
What kind of firewall is on your router? Is it something that you edit like a text document or do you click an add button and type a port number... specify an ip for the port to be forwarded to or just a list of check boxes to open a port? Does it have or need you to tell it ip destinations for both directions? My firewall you have to tell it incoming traffic from external network on port x goes to ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and outgoing traffic on port x from ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx goes to external network. I would guess you don't need to specify both directions on yours, but you might want to check.
The router is a Actiontec PK5000 DSL modem. It has a GUI for editing the firewall settings (not a text file). As far as I can tell, you only need to specify port forwarding exceptions for incoming traffic, not outgoing. There are some fields within the port forwarding section of the GUI which are identified as "optional" entries that I don't quite understand, but I don't think they deal with outgoing traffic. They are identified as "remote ports" and "remote IP". I have been asuming that you would enter something into these fields only if you wanted to allow the specified port forwarding exception if the incoming traffic was from a specific external IP address and/or port(s). There is a notation next to these fields that says if you leave the fields blank, it will apply to all IP addresses and ports.
Now that I think about it, I'm not sure that I have ever tried entering anything into the remote port fields to see if that makes a difference. Perhaps I should try that. For example, if I am specifying that I want to forward port 5900, maybe I should try entering port 5900 in this optional "remote port" section as well. It seems like I should probably still leave he remote IP field blank. I won't be able to give this a try until I get back to the office on Monday.
One other thing... the router interface has the section I have described above called "Advanced Port Forwarding" but it also has another section called "Applications" where it seems that they have identified a number of pre-defined port forwarding rules that apply to specific applications/games. I have looked in there and there doesn't seem to be a pre-defined entry for ARD (there is one for VNC that opens up port 5900 only). Each entry specifies the ports to be opened up and then there is a blank field where you can enter the target IP address to be forwarded to. It is also possible to create new user-defined application entries in this section, so I have previously created a new entry for ARD to see if I might get a different result, but the end-result was the same.
I have considered buying a new dedicated router like the Apple Airport Extreme instead of using the router functionality of the DSL modem, to see if it's a problem specific to the router. Do you think this might get me anywhere?

Mobo Support for booting from USB hdd

Hi,
I have a K8N Diamond.
How can I check whether my mobo can support booting from USB hdd?
I know it can boot from the USB-CDROM.
If not, do I need a bios update?

Outlook is not connecting through Workgroup Machine over internet using Outlook Anywhere

users can connect successfully using outlook anywhere over internet if machine are on domain, well problem with workgroup machine that are not connecting over the internet as outlook keep prompting password well i have configured outlook Anywhere with

Hi,
Step 1 :In addition to that , please use remote connectivity analyzer to check outlook anywhere in internet .
From that we came to know the exact error .
Step 2: Most of the organisations are having an ISA or TMG firewall to create web published rules for exchange services .In case if you have you need to check the rule created for outlook anywhere is properly configured or not.
If you have such kind of firewall's ,You can test the OA rule by using the option test rule in ISA or TMG firewall .
Most probably you can able to find out the exact cause with the help of EXRCA.
Please reply me if you have any queries.

Can't access my Seagate USB HDD on my Airport Extreme

I can not access my 1TB Seagate Freeagent USB Harddrive over the working AEBS network. Hoping to be able to share and stream files to all remote laptops in the house. I have the HD connected to the AEBS and the AEBS client identifies the HD under Disks by name with the correct information. It's set for file sharing and Share Over the WAN. The workgroup is set to WORKGROUP to match my laptop and I've also gone into Windows and dissabled Windows Search per other suggestions on another discussion.
All that said and done, I still can not see or access the HD via my Win7 laptop. I see there are tons of disscussions on this issue and seams many are frustrated because the meager AEBS instructions that come with the unit simply say "Connect the hard disk to the AirPort Extreme USB port using a USB cable. Open AirPort extreme utility, select your base station, and then click Continue. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a new network, if you have not already set up your network." which I already have. Do I need to do this again? Are there any other settings I can do in my Win7 system or in the AEBS system to be able to access my ext HD? I really don't want to format the HD as some users are talking about.
Any thoughts or suggestions woudl be helpful. This was a main selling point for me deciding to buy this router.
Thank you much.

Update...I've also formated my USB HDD to exFAT and still can not access it via the network. It is still completely visable in the AEBS client software. MAC OS was not an option for formating. I thought that exFAT would work since its the newer type of FAT32. Is there a program I can download to format the drive to a MAC OS format and then be able to acces the drive on my four Win7 PC's?
I'm at my wits end with this AEBS and am ready to pull the plug and take it back for an exchange to a Cisco Linux 4200. Please let me know if there is hope for a fix.

Can I access my USB drive connected to 3rd Gen Extreme via the internet?

After reading the features of current Airport Extremes, it seems that one can acces their USB connected hard drive via the internet. Is this true and does that feature also exist on 3rd Gen extremes as well? If so, how do I access it via the internet?

Yes and yes. Please check out the following AirPort User Tip.

Accessing a USB drive connected to Airport Extreme over Internet

Hello!
I have an iPad, I have an Airport Extreme with a USB drive connected and I have a MobileMe account.
And I'm aware that as yet there's no Back To My Mac for iPad.
Is there an easy way on the iPad to connect remotely to the USB drive, over the Internet?
I don't want to have to leave my MacBook Pro on whilst I'm travelling.
I've looked at Logmein and Filebrowser and iTeleport and can't find a way to do this.
Has anyone managed to suss this???
Many thanks....

I am not ware of any way of doing what you want since, to my knowledge, the AE does not function as a server to "serve" the contents of a connected USB drive. I have a LaCie NAS and that NAS includes a FTP server that I can access via my iPad via AirSharing HD.

Copied files to USB HDD - now can't find them!

I had to reinstall my wife's macbook so I backed up all her files to a USB HDD formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) [according to disk utility]
I then reinstalled and tried to find the files which do not show up on the USB HDD (shoulda checked!)
I've seen posts alluding to having the drive formatted Journalised but they all refer to having done that FIRST.
Are my files history? Is there any way to get them back? Help!

Thanks so much for helping me with this.
I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem. Now that I look at the
import settings that were used:
1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
also renamed.
2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
changed LR4 names.
1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2
1201_004 changed to 1201_267-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit changed to 1201_268-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_269-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_270-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit-2 changed to 1201_271-2
I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
imported yesterday and are renamed.
Thanks again,
