Can't find my office computer from home

Just back into the Mac world again and I'm trying to figure out Remote Desktop. I have a G4 Tower in my office and a mac mini at home. I am running a Wireless Belkin Pre-N Router at my office and a Wireless Netgear at home. I have opened up ports 3283 & 5900 on both routers both specifing the computers IP address. MTU @ 1500. I have set up an admin account on both Macs. I cannot seem to get the two to find eachother. How does the Remote Desktop find an IP address on assigned by router in a different location? What am I doing wrong?

to go a bit further, when you are connecting to a computer through the Internet, you have to specify the IP address which is shown to the Internet-- it is sometimes the IP address of your router, but it could be the IP of a DSL bridge, etc. Doesn't really matter, just go to the website http://whatismyip.com to find out what that particular IP address is (and this is not really a Mac thing-- it's the same for all computers on the Internet).
So, if you are trying to connect to the office, while you are at the office you go to that website to get the IP address, and that's what you put into the ARD on your home computer to "find" the office computer.

    thanks

    Where did you put them?
    These are not part of the sync process at all, as the manual tells you.  You should be importing them to your comptuer regularly as you would with any digital camera.

    Look for them on your old computer, when found copy the files to a USB drive and move them to the new computer.

  • Port Set-up for Access to office PC from Home Mac

    Hello,
    I have a G5 at home with a AEBS (g) where I manage my own website via FTP and have a home network.
    I just opened a new office where I have a PC (to manage the security cameras), an iBookG4 and will buy a PowerMac in a month. I just set up a new AEBS (n) and it works great to connect to the internet. Since it is a new office I have never had to connect to the office PC from home and I need to do that to see the cameras over the internet.
    Also, I want to be able to manage my website from the office via FTP.
    I know that these two things are done by setting up port forwarding. However, I have very limited knowledge about Networks and connectivity so I would ask anyone to explain it as if it was "Port Forwarding set-up for Dummies".
    I have 5 static IPs that my ISP gave me in case they are useful.
    Thanks,
    elto

    Hi Duane:
    Thanks so much for your input. To answer your questions, I have a Netopia Modem (from bellsouth) which is compatible with 802.11g. Also, I have a Netgear Switch for the 3 computers I have on the network (iBook, Dell PC and a new MacPro).
    For some reason I am not able to port foward so that I can access a computer from my house. I already assigned a Static IP to the computers and nothing.
    Regards,
    elto

  • I can't find where to switch from my internal disc burner to my external burning device

    I can not find where to switch from my internal disc burner to my external when burning music in iTunes. Please help.

    First, check to make sure it is plugged in. With all of the devices you may have and limited USB ports, you may have mistaken which is plugged in. When you pull down file to burn a CD, a pop up window should occur giving you a selection of your internal and external CD drives. If you only see your internal drive, try inserting a disc and see if you computer asks what you want to do with the CD. If so, it shows your computer is now seeing the drive. If nothing happens, try restarting your computer with your external drive plugged in.

  • Photoshop CC (Mac) working fine at home. When I move the computer from home the app quits on launch

    I have not been able to use Photoshop or Illustrator this weekend because I moved the computer  from home  where the apps work fine. The apps will quit on launch. Please help.

    I should have asked if it is a month by month subscription, or did you commit to a full year, but while that makes a difference to how long you can go without logging in to the internet, you should be able to be offline for a while.  30 days according to the FAQ

    Have you been able to see if it works again, when connected up back at home?

    ARD won't be as smooth as you think  over the Internet and be a security risk for your daughter.
    Your best bet would be to install nannyware, then when she's asleep you can review the logs.
    This is the best and Mac friendly

  • HT1420 First of all, there is no "Store Menu". Second I can't find Authorize this computer.

    Intsructions for Authorizing a computer are bad.
    To authorize a computer using your Apple ID
    Open iTunes
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer. (In earlier versions of iTunes, access this option from the Advanced menu).
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password, then click Authorize.
    First of all, there is no "Store Menu".
    There are Quick Links, which none are "Authorize This Computer"
    Second I can't find Authorize this computer.
    I can't find it in the footer or anywhere on the iTunes page.
    Where is it?

    You are looking at the top of iTunes and not the iTunes store homepage ? If you are on a PC with iTunes 11 then pressing Alt-S might get the Store drop-down menu to appear e.g.

    The Seagate 3TB external hard drive backs up the entire internal hard drive of the iMac.
    Is this external drive a Time Machine backup?
    Then find what you want using Time Machine (or whatever application you used to make the backup).
    Your iPhoto pictures are in the iPhoto library in Users/Pictures.
