Can i access a mac server from the internet?

I am lookin to set up a mac os server usinng a mac mini because I am a mechanical engineering student and I want to be sure I can be able to get the files I need when I need them, because I own 2 macbook pros already and I am afraid of grabbing the wrong one on accident or something that might keep me from making a presentation, or working on a project, so I was wondering if there was a way I could access the server via the internet or something? I have been trying to do research into it before I put out all the money for it, and have not came out with any clear answers on this.

The answer is obviously yes. You just need to determine the method of connection and the persistence of access. First, if you are hosting on a residential line, you will like have a dynamically assigned IP address. So to make sure you can connect to it, look into DynamicDNS service.
Next, on a residential ISP, you may not be able to use HTTP/HTTPS as the ISP will deny this traffic. That leaves out WebDAV.
Your best and safest method (although with the MSCHAP-v2 crack this is up for debate) is to probably configure VPN and then connect via that method. However, some environments may deny this type of outgoing traffic.
But regardless of the protocol you use, you simply need to allow port forwarding on your firewall to allow that traffic inbound.

[SOLVED] Can't access my home server from the outside

Hi all,
I have installed Arch on a Raspberry Pi and am trying to set up a home server. Right now, I am running a simple HTTP server (using node.js, if that matters) on port 8080. From my LAN, I can access the server all right.
From the outside, it seems that the traffic does actually reach the computer (I conclude this from the blinking diode indicating network traffic). However, all requests time out. Interestingly, if I kill the server while a request is pending, the timeout occurs right away.
I have no idea what is causing this. I have checked for iptables rules, but there seem to be none. What is blocking the traffic and how can I find out?
EDIT: Nevermind, I was testing incorrectly -- the traffic did reach the Raspberry Pi, but the return traffic did not reach my test computer because it was blocked by the router's firewall. Testing from TOR works just fine.

I too am having problems accessing Directory server from Netscape Console installed on Winxp.
If I try to open Directory server it doesn't give any error. No windows nothing.
If I try th same from the machine on which it is installed everything is fine. What is strange is that it did open a couple of times. But at the same time I can open the admin server, Netscape Messaging server from the xp box. Searching all over for a solution. Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Config details:

I upgraded to the new IOS, but lost data and apps. When I try and restore the only backup I see is the one made AFTER the lost data. How can I access an older backup from the cloud?

Why don't you talk to apple and find out if backup exists? That conversation with apple will stop your guessing.

I can't access my purchased apps from the App Store

I can't access my purchased apps from the App Store. I tap purchased and it says loading after a while App Store closes.

1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.
3. Try App Store again

While using the airport express can I listen to music streaming from the Internet?

While using the airport express can I listen to music streaming from the Internet?

The music must be in your iTunes library.
Or, you can try to add a special application like Airfoil that may allow you to stream any audio signal on your computer to the AirPort Express. It might work.

HTTP 400 Bad Request when accessing Oracle XE/Apex from the Internet

I have Oracle Express Edition upgraded to Apex 3.2. I can access everything (SQL prompt, Apex HTTP) from my local machine. I have configured the server for remote access on a non-default (not 8080) port.
I have executed: exec dbms_xdb.setListenerLocalAccess(false);
I can access the server using:
http://coyote:9977/apex (brings me to Application Express Administration Services login screen)
(where "coyote" is the local machine name of my Windows Vista box, where the Oracle/Apex server is installed.)
But when I try:
http://internet_server_name:9977/apex
(where "internet_server_name" is the internet DNS name visible of my machine visible from the internet.)
I get "HTTP 400 Bad Request"
I know the request is hitting the Oracle Listener (getting through firewalls, cable modem router, etc) since the http attempt causes the entry:
20-MAR-2009 20:36:53 * http * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=68.189.244.22)(PORT=52540)) * handoff * http * 0
to be made in the C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\network\log\listener.log
An attempt using the local (Windows) machine name makes a similar entry in the listener log:
20-MAR-2009 20:47:35 * http * (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=192.168.1.7)(PORT=52811)) * handoff * http * 0
This seems like a security issue of some kind (is the server dropping a request from "outside" the local domain?)
I'm new to Oracle so I am not familiar with how to debug this sort of connectivity issue. In case it helps:

I have tried running with the firewall (F-Secure) completely disabled, but it made no difference. I do see the request hit the listener, and the handoff appears to be successful, but it goes silent from there. I also have a cable modem router that has the port forwarding set, but maybe there are other handoff ports besides the initial one (e.g. 8080) that need to be forwarded?Please also check the Windows firewall is off as well. Yes, Windows Firewall is disabled as well. See my previous post to Tyler - I'm pretty sure the reqwuest makes it through the firewall/router layer, since it causes an entry in Listener.log
Is your problem through the router only? In other words, if you try from a second machine that is on the same side as your XE, are you working OK? (My home ISP blocks a bunch of ports. Including SMTP, FTP, Telnet. And 8080 since that is a traditional default for many Java 'servers'.)
Yes, it appears to be related to a non-local IP address. I'm sure it makes it through the router - I also have several other ports that make it through (e.g. port 80).
I have poked around the DBMS_EPG docs, and ran a few of the commands there (list DADS etc). DBMS_EPG was first 'released' to us in 10gR2. As far as I'm concerned, XE is the public 'beta' or 'release candidate'. (This is supported by Oracle's docs that state that Apex using DBMS_EPG is first supported using 10.2.0.3 or 11g.) There are known bugs and there is no way to patch XE to fix them. However, I do not know whether you are hitting those bugs.
http://www.astral-consultancy.co.uk/cgi-bin/hunbug/doco.cgi?11410 provides some good notes.
Interesting. I will check out these docs later today.

How do I pick up the [log] trail from there?I'm thniking that the listener's log is still the primary way to go. You may need to increase the log or trace level. I have not investigated how to gen or access logs inside EPG.I tried Tyler's trace but did not seem to add additional info to the Listener.log.

Access to a site from the Internet not working, but is for other sites on the same SP

Greetings,
My environment:
SP 2013 Enterprise w/ SP1 installed
2 servers in the farm, 1 for SQL, 1 for SP
Both servers are VMs running on Hyper-V, SQL is a bit underpowered when it comes to memory, SP is fine
5 web applications running, including a MySites web app and Central Admin (I've seen where separate web apps isn't the recommended configuration any more, but, this is how it was done when setup)
All sites run using SSL (443), same NIC, using host headers, pretty standard stuff (I think)
Claims authentication on all but Central Admin
Central Admin is firewalled off to all but a select few
1 to 1 correspondence between web apps and content databases
Other than MySites, all sites have either 1 or 2 site collections (search is in a separate site collection on 2 of the sites); MySites has many more site collections
So, site A, site B, site C, and site M are all supposed to be available from the Internet (with SSL and authentication) and also from the internal network. For site A, C, and M, this is true, no problem. Site B however doesn't work when coming in from the
Internet, just internally. I've received multiple reports of this from some of my users around the country, and I've been able to replicate it on my computers.
IIS just gives a blank page, no messages, no login. Chrome does present a login box, and will log into the site and work. This is from a laptop that is a part of our domain with cached credentials, but not directly connected to our network or using
our VPN. A non-domain laptop without cached credentials prompts me to login, as it should, and seems to work. The domain laptop will use the cached credentials to auto-authenticate to A, C, and M, but not B.
I'm using IE 11. I've tried putting the site into Compatibility mode, no joy. I've added the site to the Trusted Sites list, no joy. I don't have IE 10 available for testing (or 9 or 8 or ... just 11 :-( ) I've flushed the browser cache, emptied the
cookies, etc.
So, 3 of 4 sites work fine on the same machine, same Internet connection, same browser, same SP. I'm thinking it's something with IE, but, what? Seems like IE should be sending the same creds to all the sites, as they're all in the same Internet domain.
Does IE or Windows cache different creds somewhere? Or is there something in SP? I could see where one person's settings could get hosed somehow, but numerous people around the country with different h/w, different Internet connections, different credentials?
ARGH! HELP!!! Point me at something to look at, because I'm drawing a blank (and getting permanent dents in my forehead from banging it on my keyboard)...
Thanks much,
Steven

It seems that the difference between the sites that will open and the one that won't is the Default Authentication provider is set to NTLM on those that open, and Negotiate (Kerberos) on the one that won't. The Authentication Provider for the Default zone
is Claims Based Authentication on all the sites, just site B (which won't open) is set to Negotiate (Kerberos), the others are set to NTLM.
Short term: can I change the provider to NTLM without destroying the site?
Long term: point me in the direction for setting up Kerberos correctly on my server/farm, as from what I can tell Kerberos is the recommended path forward. I'll setup a non-production test site and get it figured out.
Thanks much.

How can I copy an image/picture from the internet into a word document

I am trying to copy and paste an image or picture from the internet and insert it into a word document. I select and copy the image from the internet page. I then go to the word document and select past special. When I select 'paste special' it only allows text to be copied and no images or pictures. If I also try to drag the image and place it in the word document. It does not allow me to do so. Any suggestions to fix this issue?

Considering this is a MS Word issue I'd recommend reposting to that forum. You can find one at:

Acrobat Reader can't open PDF file downloaded from the internet

I downloaded the following pdf file from the internet and saved it to the desktop. When I tried to open the file I got a message saying Acrobat couldn't open it. I do not have trouble opening other PDF files. There is something about opening certain PDF files from the internet that is causing this. Is there a setting in the PDF preferences that is causing this or some security setting.
http://www.porteverglades.net/include/content/docs/media/Port-map-2009.pdf

It seems that Safari is unable to export the document as a PDF because the exported file was zero bytes. That's why I couldn't open it. I tried Firefox and did a File>Save. It saved the file as a PDF which I was able to open. So proglem solved.

I can't access my university VPN with my iPad or iPhone but I can access it with my Mac. I was wondering if there is a simple way so that I can remotely access my home computer from the iPad, turn on the Mac VPN and then access the school network?

The iosx and open VPN app on the iPad/phone aren't compatible w my school's VPN, but my Mac is via tunnelblick. I would really like to have VPN access from my tablet so I can access journals without undergoing a tedious process.
Has anyone encountered this and found a remedy? I'm imagining an app from the tablet that can access the Mac at home to turn on the VPN to the school and then have access.. But then I'm thinking id be reading through 2 screens then formatting/resolution could be a problem.
Another thought was setting up a VPN at home so that my iPad can connect to my computer at home via VPN which would then allow me easy access to journals. But I'm lacking experience in this, especially a security issue as I'm going from point A to point C to get back to point B.
I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks

You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

How can I access a shared calendar from the web ?

Hi !
I use OSX SL, iCal 4.0.4, MobileMe.
When I share an ical calendar, I can not access it from the web. I can share it with other ical users, but can not find the correct url to access it from Safari. I have been searching the net and find suggestions, but all of them is about using the url stated in the share-dialog. When I share a calendar, there is no url for web access.
Hope someone can help.
Sveino

There is a method for publishing a MobileMe calendar to a web page (as can still be done with an 'On My Mac' calendar, though of course that won't sync to other devices).
The method is almost a hack, and depends on what appears to be a bug in iCal, so there is no guarantee that it will work, or continue to work, or won't cause problems. Also it appears that once published the calendar cannot be removed from the web page, even if the original is deleted.
With those caveats in mind, please see this web page:
http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/icalpublish.html
Note that there is a simpler method, involving exporting your MobileMe calendar as an .ics file, re-importing it as an 'On My Mac' calendar, and publishing it in the usual way. However of course it won't update if you update the MobileMe version, and if you make it the only version then of course it won't sync to MobileMe. It's one or the other, or use the hack described above.

Can't access BI 11g server from local network.

I have a problem..
Hope someone can tell me the solution.
I've installed BI Publisher 11g in my server. From the server, I can access it via web browser with URL http://localhost:7001/xmlpserver/servlet/home
The problem is, when I try to access it from other PC in my local network with URL http://10.11.9.190:7001/xmlpserver/servlet/home, the page fail to show and there's connection timed out error.
I'm using Windows7 in my server.
Is there any configuration that I missed?
Thanks for helping me..

The best way around firewalls is to stream using port 80. This is a preference setting in QuickTime Streaming Server and QuickTime Broadcaster. This will allow the stream to pass through the hole in the firewall usually used for HTML (web page) traffic. HOWEVER, you cannot use this port if you are also running web server services (Apache) on the same computer/server since they need to use port 80 also. If you need to host a web site AND stream QuickTime using port 80, you will need two computers (or at least two IP addresses; one for each service which is a little tricky. If both services are trying to use port 80, weird things will happen, most often the HTML data will rule and the streams won't work. This has been my experience. Good luck!
