Communicate between Mbp without internet

Is it possible or any software that allow me to speak, chat or even video between macbook pro computer or maybe iphone without internet access?
by using a router network?

If you have a wired or wireless network at home.
You can use bonjor chat in ichat to text/talk/video chat/send files. to use bonjor , open ichat, go to the windows menu and chose Bonjor list. And then change your status to a viable. You need to do this on both computers.
Files can be exchange though file sharing. You can turn this on in system preferences, sharing, check file sharing.
if you don't have a network you can create one. Or use the tricks bellow to make a temporary network.
If you plug to macs together with an ethernet cable. They will create a network between them selfs automatically. (long as your not connected to a wireless network)
If you want to do this wirelessly , you can chose "create network" under the airport menu on the menu bar. to create a wireless network. You could then join the network from the other computer. And use iChat to walk wirelessly.

  • RV042 Windows incompatibility HTTP Connections between Subnets without Internet access

    Hello, 
    We are a company of the banking sector
    We have two RV042 Router.
    One of this Router (R1) is configured for restrict users without internet access. This router doesn´t internet connections, the Wan ports are blocked.
    Router 1: restricted users
    Router 1 IP Lan: 10.22.4.1/24   
    Router 1 IP Subnet 1: 10.22.1.2/24 (For communication with Web Servers on Lan 10.22.1.0/24)
    Pc1: 10.22.4.3/24
    DNS: 10.22.4.51/24 (This DNS Server have an Internet connection through subnet 2)
    The other router (R2) has an internet connection through the wan port for the access of the DNS Servers for respond to request of clients, and a web server in this subnet
    Router 2:  Web Server´s LAN and Internet Connection for the DNS Server
    Router 2 IP Lan: 10.22.1.1/24
    Router 2 IP Subnet 2: 10.22.4.2/24 (For communication with restricted user on Lan 10.22.4.0/24)
    Web Server: 10.22.1.60/24
    We need to access the web server from the network restricted users.
    From Linux Operating System, the access to web server its ok
    But, from Windows Operating Systems, we can´t access to web server. Time Out
    So, we think that there are some incompatibility between the Router RV042 and the windows operating systems 
    On the website of microsoft, there is an article regarding an incompatibility issue with the RV042 which could help
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934430
    we copied a file attachment.
    Thanks, sorry for bad English

    Hi,
    Have you also tested configuring static route?
    I am asking that, because RV042 does not support VLANs and following that cannot do inter-VLAN routing. Configuring subnet with Multiple Subnet option is only giving access to this subnet to internet. Unless a static route is not configured as where this traffic to be routed in the LAN, the router itself normally will drop the packet.
    If it works for you, this leads me to the thought that there is other routes that packets from LAN 10.22.1.0 to LAN 10.22.4.2 (and vice versa) are taking, but not necessarily the routers.
    Here I can just give a direction of where to look, but if you think you checked all possibilities, it would be better to contact the support line. They will help as long as the device is under warranty.

  • If I download Mountain Lion on my MBP , can I use the same installer file on a different computer and continue the installation without Internet connectivity?

    Hi Folks,
    I have just downloaded Mountain lion on my  Macbook Pro(haven't installed it yet) . My question is, can I copy the same downloaded Mountain Lion from the Applications on to an external hard drive and use the same on a different computer? I am having problems with internet connectivity right now, it would be amazing if it can be installed on the iMac without internet connection.
    So is that doable?
    Thanks in advance

    And the 2nd installation would not require internet connectivity? Except , of course during the set up and the configuration of iCloud and location based services, which I can skip at the time

  • Connecting 2 computers thru Time Capsule without Internet?

    I had started a question in another area (Mountain Lion) because I am trying desperately to migrate a Windows PC running Windows 7 to a new iMac.  The Migration assistant on both computers does not find any computers.  The Apple Care people say I am doing everything right, but now some people online are saying that I can't do this wirelessly thru Time Capsule (which we have and is the router for our office which the PC is connected to wirelessly).
    The new Mac is in set up beginning mode (meaning it has not been set up wirelessly or anything yet), because on launch it offers to move the data from the PC to set up the new Mac.  It is stuck "looking for a computer"
    Here is the whole discussion:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23377824#23377824
    Today I went by an Apple store to ask their opinion and the guy told me that I can't connect the 2 computers via ethernet (even though that is what the Migration insturctions say to do), but he said that I shoud be able to connect each computer via ethernet to the Time Capsule and have them recognize each other.
    Does this sound right to any of you???
    The PC is clear across the room and no where near the internet line, so I would either have to buy a REALLY long ethernet cable to drag over to it, or take the whole computer apart to try and get it near the TC.  The mac of course is no problem to move.
    I just don't want to do all this if this will not really act as a network (I guess as a server of sorts).
    I am confused as the TC manual says that it can be used without internet, but I don't seehow (I've tried rebooting it without a connection).  I do not know why the internet is involved at all since what we need is the TC to act as a wireless router (which it is) and do not need to involve the internet at all to link the 2 computers.
    I am just totally frustrated that these computers should just communicate wirelessly and/or with each other somehow and do not seem to, as Apple says they should.  I know this will turn out to be something really simple and dumb and I'm just not seeing it.
    Is it not possible to take the TC and reboot it with the 2 computers connected to it and create a network using the TC as a server or router without needing any internet just so I can get this stuff from the PC migrated (and then never have to deal with it again!!!!)
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I think where the confusion lies is that this is a brand new Mac and NEVER been set up.  We are trying to Migrate from the Windows on initial setup - which is what the Mac asks you when you first start it:  Language, Keyboard (english) and then if you are setting a New Mac or wanting to tranfer your info to set up from another Mac or from a PC.  You choose PC and the MA automatically looks for the other PC.  The Windows MA does the same thing.  You launch it on the PC and it looks for the Mac to connect to.
    They are not "finding" each other - even when connected directly via the ethernet cable to each other as dictated by the MA instructions  (see the link you provided and click:
    Transferring with the Setup Assistant that appears when your Mac starts up for the first time
    This is what I am doing.  This is what 2 different guys from Apple Care also said was correct.
    They do not communicate.  This is why some in the ML discussion area are telling me I can't do this with an ethernet cable even though these are the instructions.  They are telling me to use the TC as a router between them.
    The PC is already wirelessly connected to the TC but when I connect the Mac to the TC it still does nothing (because I assume it hasn't been "set up" yet to the wireless network).
    I did not want to set up the Mac initially on its own because then you create a User and Password and when you migrate it creates a second User and will not migrate into the initial one you set up, ergo you forever are stuck with 2 users on login and 2 sets of stuff taking up space in your Mac.
    It should do this on start up.  I have NO doubt this is a PC issue, even though I disabled everything I could possibly see to do on it (this is why I need the PC geek in the UK to make sure).  The Apple techs have told me some people have to disable and reboot this stuff several times (ARGH!) LOL!
    Anyway I did wonder when I tried yesterday to simply take TC off the internet connection and set it up on its own, I could never get it to stop looking for internet (I rebooted it and reinstalled it with a new name and password), but when you look at it in Airport Utility (I'm using a Macbook for the set up), you see it still blinking looking for internet.
    I could not find any instructions for someone to use the TC as a router only or as a server, even though you can see there are more choices in the AU setup tabs.  The one guy at the Apple store (not Apple Care) said that if I connected the 2 computers to the TC it would act as a router and they could "see" each other for me to setup - but this did not work, hence I came here.
    Hope I'm making sense!  Thanks so much for your help.

  • Communicate between 2 ipads over internal wifi only

    Can I communicate between 2 ipads over internal wifi WITHOUT internet? They are on the same subnet and would have network access to each other, but it seems to IM or message between them it must go over the internet.

    If you want to message between the two iPads, yes you must be connected to the Internet as the messages are transmitted via Apple Servers.

  • Wireless Screen Sharing between MBP's on formation aircraft?

    Is it possible to wireless screen share between two MBP's without internet or hardwiring available? The application will be between two airplanes flying side by side in formation about 30 feet apart. -Eddie

    Screen Sharing does not require the internet at all. I screen share via finder ss via wifi G all of the time between leopard MBA and MBP on a G based network or a N based ad hoc network.
    Simply use wifi and create an ad hoc wifi network between the two MBPs from the airport menu in the menu bar as in Create Network. For your purposes, use the simplest open network or a five letter password.
    For the screen sharing, go to the screen sharing article at <http://www.macworld.com/article/131094/2007/12/screensharepower.html?t=201> or at the Tidbits site (same article, same author) and set up the screen sharing in the finder.. not ichat. Finder screen sharing is simple and does require a wifi connection between the computers but does not require an internet connection at all.

  • Create local wifi network on OS X without internet connection

    Hi,
    is there anyway to create a local wifi network without internet connection to play multiplayer games like call of duty on macbook pro ?

    Is it safe to assume that you are connecting your MBP to a wireless router already?
    If you are then all the other LAN machines should also connect to that same router even if internet access is turned off.
    LAN parties are fun and they require the computers to have certain port setups for certain games.
    It is possible, though I don't play COD (I'm a Battlefield man) and I can't help with the details of COD.
    When my son has his friends over we  use a wired hub setup and we  make the laptop guys use the wired connection - it's  more stable. I admit that we always use the internet. The last LAN party we had without the internet was a Battlefield 1942 setup with one computer hosting the local server (and that was years ago.)

  • How to simulate server 2012+clients connetion in virtualbox without internet connection

    Hi, I am new to this forum and also not familiar with simulation in virtualbox. I want to know how to simulate server 2012+clients connection in virtualbox without internet connection. I couldn't join the client computer (windows 7 installed) to
    the domain (the  windows server 2012). I already added the DHCP , AD DS and DNS roles features in the windows server 2012. Can someone put me through?

    If you're using VirtualBox you might be better off asking this over on their forum
    https://forums.virtualbox.org/, since it's not a Microsoft product. That said I have used it myself, and I think what you need is to ensure you're using the Internal Networking option
    http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_internal and make sure that both virtual machines have their network card setup with the same name / network ID. Once that's done you
    can configure them on the same network range and they should be able to communicate.

  • Use AIrport Express without Internet access?

    Friends of ours just switched and helped them purchase and set up an iMac and MacBook. We're rural so they are now using a Verizon USB Modem for internet access, no access to DSL or cable. If they were to purchase an AE can it be used, and how easy is the setup, to create an in-home network to simply communicate between the MB and iMac and stream Airtunes? Also can the Verizon USB modem be used with the AE? Searched forums and it doesn't appear that it can be used but wondering if someone has a work around.
    Thanks.

    If they were to purchase an AE can it be used, and how easy is the setup, to create an in-home network to simply communicate between the MB and iMac and stream Airtunes?
    The default configuration of the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is a wireless router with AirTunes enabled. In this configuration, both Macs should be able to connect to the AX's wireless network and stream iTunes. No Internet connection is required.
    Also can the Verizon USB modem be used with the AE?
    For Internet access the AX must be connected to an Ethernet modem, or to another wired or wireless network that has Internet connectivity. The AirPorts do not support direct connection to USB-based modems.

  • How can I communicate between two simulated software

    Hallo,
    I have confusion regarding this topic "How can I communicate between two simulated software".
    1: PC with CAN simulation
    2:  PC with AFDX Simulation
    Now i have to communicated these two pc with each other.
    How can i communicated? which module from ni is best for it.
    thanks in advance
    BR

    I recommend looking at the Simple Messaging Reference Library that NI has released.  Use the TCP/IP version of it.
    FYI, TCP/IP is a communication protocol that is used to communicate between two computers.  It is what the internet uses.  So you just need a network switch or router between your computers and you can talk to each other with their IP address.
    There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

  • Can i access music without internet connection?

    Can I use my ipod touch to play music that is stored in the cloud when i am away from an internet connection? If not, can I keep copies on the device so they're available locally? Do I need to disable ICloud to do this? As it is now, even when I have internet connection, there is a delay between songs while they download. It would be much better if it were the old way and copies just stayed on the phone/ipod/ipad.

    If I want my entire music library on my IOS device, or on my computer, then it sounds like I must either download or play all of my music at least once, after I turn on Match.  Is this correct?  I want to have access to all (or nealry all) of my music for long periods where I will be without internet access (e.g. long flights).
    Can I do a MATCH, without deleting all the music on my IOS device?

    *** Updated - FIgured this out right after I posted... I simply selected all contacts on the iMac, exported as a .vcf then dragged that into the MBP contacts ***

    *Original Question*
    I have a MacBook Pro (MBP) running Mavericks... syncs contacts via iCloud with my iOS devices.  My iMac is an original intel model from 2006 which can only run Snow Leopard.  I have many contacts on that iMac that I would like to copy into the contacts on my MBP.

  • Is there a way to display movies purchased from itunes from my ipad to my apple TV without internet (still using wifi)

    I am going on vacation and will have a wifi network, but no internet access. I have tried to display downloaded movies from my ipad purchased on itunes to my apple TV, but get "Unknown Error -3". I can use mirroring, but not show the video. I am signed into the same account on both devices and the movie is downloaded to the ipad. The only issue I can think of is some DRM check, but I am not sure.
    Has anyone been able to do this? It would be nice to be able to use my purchased movies on vacation without needing internet.
    thanks for any help

    This was a big advantage of AppleTV1 - generally it did not need internet authorisation for synced material on its internal drive and was great for holiday/vacation.
    I tend to use a Mac Mini these days when going away.
