Cannot control/observe but can send commands and update apps

I've researched the discussions here and basically came up with several ways of fixing the problem. Also I see I am not the only one with this particular problem.
Ok with that said, here are the details.
I am running a G5 behind a linksys wireless router (g5 is hard wired to the ethernet port of the router), my router is set up to open ports 5900 and 3283 just for ARD 2.0. The ports are pointing to my mac's IP address given by the router. I currently use optimum online for my internet usage, so basically I have a static IP address. From work I can access my G5, control/observe, update, etc...
I also have set up ARD on my mothers imac, she sits behind a verizon dsl modem, and an old netgear router I used at one point. I have the router set up the same way, ports 5900 and 3283 are opened up for tcp and udp. From her machine I can actually connect to my G5 at home and control/observe, etc..
My main problem is when I am on the G5 and try to connect to her machine, I can only send messages, update software but cannot visually observe or control her mac. I've gone and had her change the tcp port to 10000 and no luck with control or observe. I then had her delete ARD with an application I found over the net (appdelete). I had her install ARD client and set it up from scratch again. Nothing... I have spoken with verizon IT and they aren't blocking any ports. I am at my wits end, can't figure this one out. OH, I also tried disconnecting the router and had my mother connect the dsl modem straight to the imac and still cannot control or observe. Within ARD It tells me what program she is running, etc... because of port 3283 but that's about it. I know everyone here has given alot of information. But is there something I am missing?
Could it be a hardware issue (mac or router)? or software?

I've tested timbuktu pro 8.6 and I can access my G5 at home the same way as ARD, I just had to open up the port 5901 and set up the user prefs. My only issue is going to be setting up my mothers imac with timbuktu. crossing my fingers to see if it works tonight. If there are any other thoughts out there please feel free to tell me.

  • I can't download and update app

    I can't download and update app for 2 days it show waiting and cannot connect to itune store,please help me! I try to sign out and sign in apple id but it's not work

    For the Can't connect to the iTunes Store Message .....
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead a year or two. You will probably get some sort of error message telling you to correct the date so that you can connect to the server. Go back to the setting and set the date and time to Automatically on again.
    See if you can can connect to the iTunes store.
    For the "waiting" icons .....
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.

  • Exchange - Cannot receive emails but can send

    Using Exchange 2007 - (CAS,Hub,Mail and Transport). I have all external mail coming in on http/s to webmail and outlook anywhere and port 25 smtp (mail.domain.com). Firewall NAT rule is External to Internal.
    I then created a DMZ and now have webmail and outlook anywhere http/s going from External>>>>DMZ>>>Internal and it works fine. But when I changed smtp 25 to External>>>DMZ>>>Inside - I cannot receive any emails from
    external, I can send though.
    I Only changed the way it is being routed, instead of going from External (mail.domain.com) to Internal (mail server). I have it going External (mail.domain.com)>>>(DMZ IP) >>>(Internal Mail server).
    I didn't change any IPs or URLs or anything on the External or Internal and webmail and outlook anywhere are working fine through the DMZ.
    I thought maybe it could be the external mail filter in the cloud that hits our external domain name but since I'm not touching anything external I don't see how that would matter.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    Hi,
    Based on my experience, improper permission groups would always bring mail flow issue. Thank you for sharing the solution here.

  • Cannot RECEIVE mail - But can send :(

    Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong here? I'm switching from MS Entourage to the new version of Mail. I've copied all the settings across from Entourage (which is still sending & receiving mail after the upgrade from 10.4.10 to 10.5) The connection Doctor is saying that everything is connected etc I've even set up a mail account to my home email, which i can send & receive from...
    Account type is POP, email entered, password entered, incoming & outgoing mail servers entered, there is no error messages coming up. I create a message in Mail, addressed to myself - nothing happens... ten mins later I fire up Entourage, and receive the message I sent from Mail!?

    Call your mail service provider. Have them tackle it.

  • Can't download and update app's via app store

    Hello. When i try to download or update app's from app store on my mac, there is a message box with the following text-" We could not complete your request.There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
    any idea?

    try booting to safe mode (restart while holding down the shift key) and once booted there open the app store and try downloading the updates and see if it works.
    if it doesn't try a new test user to install the updates. the following article tells how to create a new acct on the mac:

    hope one of these solutions works for you!

  • Intermittently cannot receive emails but can send.  Error message 'invalid username or password' for my pop3 email account.

    Sometime when I am away from home, I can be happily sending and receiving emails on my ipad2.  Out of the blue I get a message 'Cannot get email.  Username or password invalid'.  On returning home it works again.  Sometimes I delete the account and readd it and this fixes the problem but I'm getting tired of doing that.  Can anyone help please?

    Check here:
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Verizon > SMTP > smtp.verizon.net > Password
    Is your password set there?  Is it set correctly?

  • Cannot receive BBM but can send

    Hi,
    Today my BBM just screwed me up. I cannot receive BBM from particular people but they can receive my BBM. The status of the text is always D but they already read the text. Also, I cannot receive invitation to a group. I never get the invitation even tho they send it many times.
    Any solution? I did remove the battery several times and wiped the data but still cannot receive message.

    Hello t36uh2007
    I recommend to call your carrier first to find out is there something wrong with their network service as there might be temporary network problem related with your BBM problem. For BBM Group, you may need to update BBM app to the latest version from BlackBerry World.
    Also, delete your phone number in your profile as this is open forums. Go to My Setting at top left of this page > Personal Profile and change it to your carrier name.
    Good luck.

  • Cannot receive email but can send email

    I have tried everything except deleting the account and re-installing.It says cannot connect to server.What should I do? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello, kenmac1960. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    The easiest way to troubleshoot this issue would be to delete the account and add it back to the iOS device.  Below, I have included two e-mail troubleshooting articles.  The first article covers basic email troubleshooting.  The second article will assist you if the email account you are experiencing issues with is a Gmail account.

  • I cannot receive mail , but can send it , any ideas ?

    This is what appeared on my .mac account .
    I am unable to receive mail .
    Can anyone provide any details ?

    If this is your iCloud email account, sometimes removing and adding it back will fix things.  To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, uncheck Mail, restart your Mac, then go back and check Mail again.  You may need to open Mail and go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts, select your iCloud account, select the Account Information tab, then be sure your .mac address is selected in the Alias drop-down list.

  • Can't install and update apps

    Hi,
    I am not able to update existing apps on my phone & I'm not able to install new apps as well. What happens is that when I choose the update button, it will load for a few seconds (that rotating cirle thing) and then it will go back to the update button again. Initially there was an error message stating mzfairplay.nullResponse_message but it stopped appearing after a few more tries and I'm still not able to update. Anyone familiar with this error message? I have also tried downloading new apps but with the same result.
    I have tried the below actions to resolve this but I'm still not able to update or install new apps:
    1. Restart the phone
    2. Signed out my Apple ID
    3. Connected to iTunes
    4. Updated to iOS 8.3
    As of now, I'm still having this issue and I'm getting a little frustrated. The last thing I want to do is to reset the phone to its factory settings.

    You don't have to reset your iPhone! It's an internal problem of Apple. All we can do is wait for them to fix it. Alternatively, here's the system status webpage so you can check how it goes: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

  • No screen sharing, but can accept commands...

    mirror door G4 running 10.4.11 with ARD 3.2.2
    cannot observe or control, but can send commands fine. I've switched out cards, changed adapters, reinstalled ARD... Nothing seems to change my inability to connect to the machine. This is on a local network, nothing is behind a firewall or router. All other machines work fine.
    Any thoughts?

    jeez... I feel silly, I should've tried that. Everything is working now. There's no real reason to have it activate behind our main firewall so I'll just leave it off. Thanks for the help - sometimes you need someone else to see the most obvious things for you
