Can you access ~\Users\Sharing from a PC on the network?

I have a mixed home network of 3 PCs and one Mac Mini. I want to store all the digital music on the Mac Mini and share it with the PCs.
I have successfully created networking links between the PCs and the Mac. For example, I setup a MYPC account on the Mac and I can map a PC network drive to \\MacMini\MYPC\Music. This works fine, and survives a reboot. BUT IT ONLY GETS ME INTO THE FOLDER ON THE MAC WITH THAT USER'S FILES (MYPC), NOWHERE ELSE. So it's not a directory everyone can use (public).
I am trying to map \\MacMini\Users\Sharing and I can't get to it from the PC at all. I've tried using the IP address also. Nothing gets me there. This is after being connected in as an authorized account on the Mac. I thought that folder was open to all? Any suggestions?
I've also tried using a public folder on the Mac account to share. Also unsuccesful. Each PC user can easily see their own public folder (and more). Sometimes after I'm logged in, I can directly type in the address \\MacMini\MacUser\Public and see it, but it's intermittment and unpredicatable. I'm, open to this route, if I could get it to work.
This is a real head-scratcher. Please help me out.

You will need to use Sharepoints in order to share specific folders

By default the only directories shared out to Windows clients are the home directories.
If you want to share anything else you need to configure the file sharing server (in this case SMB) to tell it which directories to share, and under what name.
If you're not familiar with configuring Samba, grab a copy of Sharepoints which will do the job for you.

Can you access time capsule from a mac over the internet

Can you access time capsule from a mac over the internet?

Yes. See this thread about how to access the disk attached to a Time Capsule. Access to the Time Capsule itself can be done similarly.

HT3819 Can you access home sharing from iPhone 5 that is on another wifi. Say mcdonalds

I want to access my music, videos, etc. from my computer. On iPhone 4 I was able to do this with home sharing. Now my iPad, iPhone 5 cannot access unless I am at home. I have iTunes Match. How do I view my movies over wifi with home sharing

There is a difference between accessing one of your computers at home over a local network (wired or WiFi) and trying to access the same shared folder from outside of your local network. In principle it isn't possible due to the way data is routed via the internet. You should be able to access past iTunes store purchases (where applicable) and your iTunes Match account via any Wi-Fi point that connects you to the internet directly from Apple's servers, however it might be that certain places restrict access to particular servers.

Can't access some websites from XP machines on the network, but Win7 PC's ok

Hi,
We have a SBS installation with both XP and 7 PCs on it. Within the last couple of weeks the XP units have become unable to access certain websites, although others are ok. Windows 7 PC's are fine. Pings to the affected sites are also ok from either XP or
7. Despite a lot of effort trying to discover the reason we are not any closer to a solution. Could anyone suggest how we might track down the source of the issue ?
Many thanks

Hi,
Please try to reset the IE on the XP client. This issue may be caused by misconfiguration of the Internet Explorer.
Please check if there is any firewall rule block the TCP port 80 of the specified website.
To check if the TCP port 80 is open, please use the portqry tool.
To download the portqry, please click the link below,
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24009
If the TCP port 80 is block on the specified website, please check the network settings. Normally, this issue is caused by the misconfiguration of the firewall. Also, incorrectly configured proxy or router will cause this issue too.
If the TCP port 80 is open, we may need to perform a network capture on the XP client.

HT202213 can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

can you setup home sharing from your iPad ?

You can set Home sharing on the iPad by adding your Apple ID in the appropriate area.
Settings->Music->Home Sharing
But you still need a computer with iTunes from which to share the library. You can't share libraries between iDevices.

Can you see ink levels from Eprint center for the OfficeJet 7500A/E910

Can You monitor ink levels from eprint center for the OfficeJet 7500A/E910?
This question was solved.

Hello Raimonds,
To answer your question, you are not able to check your ink levels from ePrint Center. The only thing that you can do in ePrint Center is monitor the status of your recent print jobs that you send via ePrint and monitor the status of connection of your printer to the ePrint Servers.

Can you get User Data from a XI/PI System ?

Hello All
Can you with GRC 5.3 use PI as a User Data Source?
How?
Thank you

Hi Kristian,
for the AC 5.3 system user store itself or for the user details / user search you could use SAP ABAP, SAP UME, LDAP, etc.
Short: yes, you could use the ABAP user store of PI.
Best,
Frank

How can I access user defined column(in query) inside the trigger?

Hi
I have 3 unions and each query displays different records on some criteria. I also have a column hard-coded
Ex:
select a.col1, a.col2,
add as update
from table1 a
where ...
union
select a.col1, a.col2,
change as update
from table1 a
where ...
union
select a.col1, a.col2,
del as update
from table1 a
where ...
And I need to display a column in the report only if update is Add. I was thinking of writing a format trigger for that field. But I do not know how can I access this user defined column named update in the trigger?
Any help?

Try ":update" minus the double-quotes. Ex:
    IF :update = 'add' THEN
      RETURN(TRUE);
    ELSE
      RETURN FALSE;
    END IF;
You'll want to place your hard-coded values in single-quotes. Ex:
    select a.col1, a.col2,
    'add' as update

Can't access new MBP from other Macs on my network

I just got a new last-gen MBP running Leopard. All Apple updates are installed. I need to access it from two Macs on my network that are running Tiger (also with all current updates installed). Tiger-to-Tiger connections are running perfectly. And the new Mac accesses the Internet, networked printers and so on just fine.
Problem: While the MBP shows up in the other machines' Network Browser, they can't connect to it. And, while the MBP sees the other machines, all it can connect to is the account Public Folders (the entire volumes are set to share).
The new MBP was populated with data from my old PB G4 using Migration Assistant.
I've never had a problem like this. I've tried disabling the MBP Firewall, rebooting the network, rebooting all of my Macs, but still no luck.
I've searched the Discussions and didn't find any help in previous postings. Hopefully someone can help me now...
Thank you!

And the Leopard machine shows in each Tiger machine's network browser.
I've rebooted all of the machines at least once and rebooted my router and switch as well.
I've tried connecting to the Leopard machine by specifying its afp address.
None of this works. I guess I'll need to take advantage of my free 90 days of tech support and call Apple. In 20 years of owning Macs, I've never encountered anything like this. I still hope I don't need to reinstall the OS, but I'm getting very worried.
Thanks for all the suggestions; I'll keep checking back and will also post the solution if one is found.
I do not think it's an OS issue. At least one requiring a reinstall.
I just started my other MBP with Tiger. Takes a bit since it's booting via a FW400 pipe.
I will see if I can access this MBP from that one in a few minutes. Never did that - all my systems have been peers. (Booted faster than I expected.)
First I note that this Leopard box does not show up on the Tiger box.
Also "go" and browse does not show this box.
It worked but I had to enter this IP into the "connect to" on Tiger.
Required login and password.
Connected via afp and a window popped up with the volumes on this box to connect to.
Clicked this user account and there I was.
After that, this box showed up in the Finder sidebar.
So Tiger will connect to a Leopard box, but it seems that one needs to enter the IP of the Leopard box. If that does not work, then something is wrong.
Curiously, that Tiger box has not registered on this Leopard under Places.
Ah, I did not have filesharing on in the Tiger box. Turned it on and I can see it from here.
So I have bilateral network connections: Leopard here <-> Tiger there
Works for me, but that does not help you except to know that it should work.
BTW The Tiger version is 10.4.11.

Can you cluster two nodes from subnet A with the cluster itself residing in subnet B?

We have a situation in a cloud deployment where the servers are automatically provisioned through a cloud portal with IP addressed from subnet A. Because we require static IP for clustering, the static IP can only be provisioned from subnet B for
use by the cluster. Is it possible to create a cluster from the two nodes in subnet A from a cluster IP in subnet B? I cannot find any mention of this particular network configuration for a Windows cluster. We are using the cluster to support
SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Groups.

Hi Sir,
>>the servers are automatically provisioned through a cloud portal with IP addressed from subnet A.
Did you try to create a new VM then give it an static IP from subnet B then check if the VM can be accessed from outside ?

Can you authenticate user/password from SAP to Active Directory

I don't want to implement SSO for ABAP because my company doesn't have the license for "SAP NW Single Sign-On"; but we would like to authenticate our users and their passwords to active directory. Our goal is to make sure the user/password in SAP is the same as their Active Directory user/password. Is this possible?
Thanks!

This has been discussed many times, for example see SSO with LAN UserID/Password. The short answer is no, you can't synchronize passwords. You can however achieve the requirement assuming you are using Identity Management to provision users and passwords to all systems (AD, SAP, etc). In that case you will have to deal with users changing their password. Recommendation is to enable SSO. If you don't want to get licenses for NWSSO, try to look at other options (X.509 certificates, SPNEGO in AS JAVA and then issue a Logon Ticket, 3rd party solution, etc).

HT202213 When using home sharing, can you access your itunes files while traveling on the 2nd and 3rd ipads?

If we use home sharing for a new ipad, can we cet to itunes with the ipad while we are away from home?

No.
Homesharing is for local area network over wifi only.

How can you print mirror image from word 2010 on the HP Photosmart c310 printer

Trying to print mirror image from Microsoft 2010 on a windows 7 computer to the HP Photosmart C310 printer. Can not find an option. Please advise.

Judith
Perhaps you can enlighten us as to what "does not print correctly" actually means.
Miss-spells your name? or what?
How have you set up your Page set-up?
It has to agree with how you are feeding the envelope in and what printer driver you are using.
