Can't Disable Sharing on Network

I have a network with two Mac Minis and a MacBook. One Mini acts as a "server" and we only want to share an external drive. However, even though I've removed any shares associated with the "server" except for one folder on the external drive I'm still able to browse, open files and created folders in the space that used to be shared. I have unmounted the the connection. When I reconnect I can still access all the folders and files. Do I need to reboot? What am I missing?

are you connecting as a guest or as a registered user? you should connect as a guest. if you connect as a registered user you'll have access to everything that user has access to, regardless of what's shared.

Can't see shared Airport USB Drive on Network

I have a AirPort Extreme (5th Generation) with a USB drive attached. I am using OS 10.9.2 on my desktop and laptop. I can see the drive on my desktop Mac which has a ethernet connection to the Airport, but my laptop can't see the shared drive. I used Airport Utility (under "Disk" Tab) to Enable file sharing and share disks over WAN. I have set the "Secure Shared Disks" to "With a disk Password." On the laptop, I have set Finder preferences to see "External disks."
However, the disk does not show up on the Finder sidebar under "Devices" or "Shared."
Any suggestions on how I can make this "Shared Drive" visible?
Thanks,
Dave

Also make sure that Finder Preferences is set to show Connected Servers on the desktop.
Restart the entire network as well by powering everything off, waiting a minute, then starting the modem first, followed by the next device connected to the modem, etc until everything is powered back up.

Haven't heard of any security explotes on the iPad. That should tell you security has been built in.
Great password. Set up remote wipe in case iPad goes missing. Backup iPad regularly.

How can I disable the memory sharing with the video?

how can I disable the memory sharing with the graphic card? it makes me impossible to run a software, grandMA2, on windows 7 installed and run via bootcamp. where should I look for changing the preferences of memory and video, on lion or on windows7? thank you

so what do you think. I run a software on windows 7 running via bootcamp on my mbp, but I can't open it. the software is compatible with windows 7 on mac. I tried opening it as administrator or changing the compatibility options, like running it as windows xp, and changing the resolution of the video. it can't build the window and then it crashes. on internet I found a compatibility list of the software where it says please do not use any shared memory for the graphic card. what does it mean? I have just to remove the check in automatic graphics switching? what should I try to do? thank you.

Can I disable the LCD screen from displaying the Network Name or Password of my device?

Can I disable the LCD screen from displaying the Network Name or Password of my device? I feel that having this information readily available to any who can turn on my device is a security flaw.
I have change the network name and password and would like to secure that information .

Worked with VZW tech support and finally found where you can disable or mask the display of the network name and password on the Jetpack LCD screen. You need to access the admin screen of your jetpack (http://my.jetpack/) . From there, navigate to Jetpack Settings --> Click on Wifi tab -- Click on the Wi-Fi Options link halfway down the page and it will show the two settings that control the display of network name and password.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...here are screen shots showing how to get to these settings. ...
The LCD display will show ********* for the network name and password if the two checkboxes above are unchecked. I really think these settings should be disabled to be begin with.
Oh well...posting here to share with those interested...

Can't access Windows 7 network nor homegroup via router or ad-hoc

I have a really annoying problem. I have 2 clean computers. They were formatted and Win 7 ultimate was installed on both computers. They have a PCI wireless card (D-Link DWA 525). Their hardware is identical, same motherboard, etc, beside the "server"
is pentium 4 and the "client" is celeron.
We have 2 routers and 1 modem. The first router, Airport Extreme, act as DHCP server, and provides the wireless network. The second router (TimeCapsule), connected thought ethernet to the first router, extends the wireless network (act as a bridge). I can connect
to the network and the internet works fine.
The problem is with the local network.
I can see both computers on the network tab. I can ping both by IP and by name. I made a Homgroup on the computer "Server". The computer "client" joined. I can see the libraries. Both computer's firewall are disabled. All firewalls from
the routers and the modem are disabled.
Double-clicking the library on the Homegroup does nothing. Trying to access the shared folder by \SERVER or by the network tab gives error "network path not found".
Basic settings, like file and sharing, etc, are on. Password sharing is off. Encryption is 40 - 50 (not the 128, I don't remember the specific number).This is both for Home and Work and Public networks.
Because I couldn't access the network, I decided to make an ad-hoc. Same problems. Even with static IP (192.168.0.1 [server] and 192.168.0.3 [client], 255.255.255.0 subnet) and NetBios forced at enabled.
I just can't make it work. I have tried a lot of info from here and other forums, but nothing has work. The worst is that another PC will join the network, but I haven't do it yet just because I can't make these PCs to work. As a test, I did put the other PC
in the network (Win 7 Home), and the same problem applied.
All the computers can see them in the Network tab, ping either ways with both IP and name, but when trying to access the pc over network, it gives network path not found error.
Yes I have shared files.
Troubleshooting both Homegroup and Network finds nothing wrong or just can't fix the problem.
Please help!

Hi,
I tried and received only errors (i don't remember know which ones).
However, I plugged the PCs via ethernet, let automatic IP address, and now I can access the network from both computers. Homegroups doesn't work because the network is public, but that isn't a matter right now, because I can access the files.
This makes me thing if the problem is the network adapter. In the Advanced tab on Device Manager Properties, I have the follow options, which I don't have idea what are they for:
AC_BE support APSD [disabled]
AC_BK support APSD [disabled]
AC_VI support APSD [disabled]
AC_VO support APSD [disabled]
APSD capable [disabled]
Multimedia/Gaming Environment [Enabled]
Roaming Sensitivity [Medium]
WMM Capable [Enabled]
Do you think some of that options are interfering?
Thank you

Need help with sharing - Can't see shared playlist

I have my songs on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit computer. I turned on home sharing and selected a playlist to be shared. I'm trying access the shared content on a Windows XP and a Vista machine, but I cannot see the shared playlist. The Vista machine can see the shared content from the XP machine though. For a brief moment, I saw the shared playlist on the Vista machine, but when I clicked on it, there was nothing there. Then it disappeared. All 3 computers have been on for hours with iTunes running. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with Windows 7. Maybe there's some network setting I need to change. I can access files on my Windows 7 machine from the XP machine. Same with the Vista machine. So the home network seems to be working fine. Thanks in advance.

I've narrowed it down to Windows 7's firewall. When I disable the firewall on my Windows 7 machine, I can access the shared content. When I enable the firewall, sharing immediately stops working. I checked to confirm that iTunes is on the allowed list of Windows Firewall.

I can't access shared drives and printers

My home has been wired with ethernet cables, so there are ethernet jacks in every room. There is one central place where they all the ethernet cables meet to connect to a hub and a cable modem. At this central place I have a D-Link 802.11g router connected to the hub. At the other end of my home I have a Airport Extreme base station connected to an ethernet jack. I have WEP password on the base station.
My problem is that when there is a password on the base station I can't access shared drives and printers. I can only acces them if I am connected with a wire or I connect to the secured (password) D-Link Wifi router that is connected directly to the hub.
What do I need to do to be able to access the shared drives and printers and keep my base station secured?
Thank you.

Whether or not you can access devices on your cabled network via the Airport Base Station is not dependent on whether or not wireless security is configured on that base station. Instead, it requires disabling the router built into the Base Station. See the article ABS as a wireless access point

Disable Ad-hoc networking

Due to recent security concerns, my company's networking team has begun looking into how one might disable ad-hoc networking on both Windows and Mac computers. Windows computers appears to be fairly easy - it's a check box in the Windows wireless management software. I have disabled internet sharing on the Macs through group policy, but have not found an easy way to disable ad-hoc networking. Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance!
Bryan

I appreciate your response. Let me clarify. I am a personal user and created the ad-hoc network sometime back. I've tried disabling and or deleting it but have had no success. I can't find any documentation on the Apple support site and am looking for any thought as to how I might go about it.
Thanks

New router, set up fine, but can't connect (iPhone) to network

Hi everyone, I've done some reading hoping I'd come across something and not have to post what I'm sure is a redundant question, but here goes. I just got a new wireless router, a WRT110. I set it up and everything went perfectly, no issues. It's hardwired to my iMac, but my wife and I would like to use wireless for our iPhones and perhaps a laptop. So, to test it out, i got onto my iPhone. I found the network I had established so I thought everything would work smoothly. However, as soon as I entered my password, it said "Incorrect password for "network"" I went back and reviewed the text file that the setup put on my desktop and sure enough, the password I selected is indeed the one I'm entering, but it's not working. I thought maybe it would be a time thing, so I gave it about a half hour or so and still nothing. I'm entering the right password, so why can I not login? Kind of frustrating. Thanks for any help or tips.

Hi!
I have the same problem. My iPhone doesn't recognize my password. As you suggested, I change the security mode to Disabled and now, on my iPhone, I can see that my network is not locked but I can't access to the network. (''Unable to join the network''.
Can you help me please ?

I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network?

A few hours ago I changed the channel on my Belkin Wireless router for the 1st time. It was either on auto, or channel 6 before, i'm not sure, but I changed it to 11, and now my ipod touch 1G can't find my wifi network. I tried changing it to 6, but nothing, and I also can't go back to auto. Can someone please help. I've already searched for the network, and it says "Cant find network". I've also restarted my router. I also added the MAC address, still nothing. Other than those things, I havent touched anything else. My ipod could connect before just find. My Wifi is not disabled, and it's not on private. I can connect with other wifi's fine. And I can connect to other networks with my ipod, I also held down the button on top, and the home button for 10 seconds to restart and nothing. I also reset my network settings. Please help!

Find the documentation for your router and look up "Reset to Factory Defaults." This process will put the router back to the way it was when you bought it.

How can I disable remote access connection window ?

When I try to connect (via TCP/IP) with a VI in another PC (in my local network) it appears the remote access connection window.
How can I disable this (programmatically if possible) ?
A big thanks for your answers.
Linus

Randy,
attached the image of the Remote Access Connection Window that appears when I connect to the VI.
It is the Operating System (Windows) classical panel for Remote Access connections using a modem.
Many thanks.
Linus
