Connect two computers behind one router

Hi,
We have two computers at home. (One with iChat 3, and one with iChat 4)
We have Netgear WGT624 router.
We cannot make video chats outside with our AIM/Jabber accounts.
How should we configure our router to use iChat video in both computers?
Thanks,
Yoav

You should access the Netgear with a web Browser and confirm it is using UPnP
UPnP allows the computers/Apps to open the ports it needs when it needs them and will allow multiple computers to use the same ports at the same time if requires.
It SHOULD NOT be doing Port Forwarding (Services) at the same time - nor Port Triggering if that one has it or DMZ as these will clash with UPnP

Can I connect two computers to one device?

Can I connect two computers to one device? I am trying to have them control different aspects of the experiment that I'm running.

That depends upon the device. If it's GPIB, you could
use the E-NET card to convert it to LAN. That would
allow control by many computers. The only problem with
that might be sychronization. That is, Computer 1 does
its setup. Then Computer 2 does a reset. Compuer 1's
setup is now gone.
As another poster suggested, you could always network
between the two computers.

How to connect two computers in one room to a router in a 2nd room?

I have a Linksys modem and WRT54G router in an entry panel in my laundry room. I have newer house with cat5 cables connected from the router to computers in various rooms. In the room that we use as an office, we want to connect a 2nd computer to the network, but there is only one ethernet jack on the wall and that jack is used for the first (existing) computer in the room. I don't want to use a wireless connection for 2nd computer.
How do I connect the 2nd computer to network? Do I connect both computers to a hub in the office and connect the hub to the ethernet jact on the wall?

HI...
You can definitely connect a HUB or a switch to the Wall jack and then connect the computer to the other ethernet port of the device. Make sure that the cable from the router is connected to any one of the ethernet port and not the uplink port.
"Make sure that the cable from the router is connected to any one of the ethernet port and not the uplink port."
So just for my clarification "You can definitely connect a HUB or a switch to the Wall jack"
Witch port should one use? Till now I thought one should connect the wall jack to the uplink port and the 2 computers to the other ports on the switch or hub?

Connecting two Macs to one router

I just ordered a new iMac and would like to connect it and my old computer (eMac) to one router so that they share the same network. Is this possible? If so,
Could you explain how to do this.

Yes it should be easy if all devices have wifi. The iMac will have, hopefully the router has, but does the eMac? Do eMac's have wifi built in?
If the router is wifi it'll have a wifi password, normally WPA, WPA/2 or WEP, either on the documentation or on a sticker on the bottom of the router. Turn wifi on on the Macs and they should see the network, type the password when prompted and they should connect.
If the eMac doesn't have wifi you could connect to the router via an ethernet cable and it should be seen on the network.

Cannot connect two computers to the same game server HELP!

I have a Linksys WRT54G Router. I have two computers and I want to be able to use them on the same gaming server. Unfortunately, the game only have one port, so I can only port forward one of my computers. How can I configure my router to have two external IP addresses to the server so it won't kick one of my computers out. Thanks!

Hi,
I am in a gaming community and many members have a Linksys at home (but I don't know which kind exactly). Many of us try to connect two computers to the same server (many have a family). It seems it is a common problem that no one can connect two computers to the same game server.
I have a BEFSR41 V3 Firmware version 1.04.8
I use fixed IP address and no connectivity problem on Internet.
I have win XP SP2 on both computer.
I am using a DSL modem
I can connect the two computers to two different game servers at same time, but not the same server. Default port for this game is the same for all servers I use. I tried with both port forwarding enabled (in that case one PCs can connect the other not) or not (in the second case, whenever the second PC connects, the first one lose his connection to the server, no mater the order I try to connect my PCs).
Now the weird thing is that one member in my community just decided to throw away his Linksys router and he bought another brand (which I won't name to remains politically correct). Now, without changing anything in his PCs or his connection type, he can now play with two PC on the same server.
I am seriously thinking doing the same move. Since more and more game are now using Internet (and servers that controls piracy, $$) and family want to play together, not being able to connect two PCs on the same game server makes Linksys in bad situation from marketing point of view.
For example, in my gaming communtity, we now all know that Linksys can't handle two PC on same server, but other brand can...
Thank you in advance for your help.

Can two computers share one iTunes library?

I am trying to map out a new plan for how we store and play music via iTunes at home. Currently, our music is stored on a windows PC and played via iTunes and an airport express. I recently bought a new macbook and am considering an airport extreme with the hope that I can store the music on a hard drive attached to the airport extreme and play music from either computer. Can the two computers share one library? I already have home sharing turned on and can access my library from the macbook, but if possible, I would prefer having the hard drive separate of the desktop. Any reason this won't work?
Thanks!

I periodically copy my iTunes library from my Mac Pro to the Mac Mini.
They aren't using a single library. Each computer is using its own copy and you have two sets of library files. It can certainly be done that way but if between copy sessions you edit a bit of each library then it is a bit of a muddle trying to make sure your versions are synchronized with each other. For example, ratings are stored only in the .itl file, so if you rate a song on your second computer it will get lost the next time you copy over from your first.

HT1449 how do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

How do you move all music from two computers into one itunes account?

An "iTunes account" is an online account you use for buying music, like a bank account. An iTunes collection is the media you see when you open iTunes. Which do you mean?
If it is two computers, it would also help to know where these are located. Are they on the same local network? If they are, try Home Sharing (and you have control of both and you aren't just trying to get music fro your computer to your friend's computer in another state). If they are not, you'll have to use an external hard drive or flash drive.
Is this on a PC? Your computer information says Windows but you posted this in the iTunes for Mac forum.

Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

Hi, is the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

Connecting two computers with two routes?

Yes, can I hook up two computers, each with a different router on one phone line? I hope this makes sense. I have one main computer hooked up to a wireless/wired router and the one in another room I want to hook up to the internet also. Do I need another router for that other computer? The distance on the wireless does not reach to the other computer.

Here are my educated guess(es) :
Perhaps you could..
#1 use a wireless extender?
#2 use a wireless bridge?
#3 convert the second router into a hub/switch/wap?

Connecting two computers, wirelessly, using Airport?

I have a IMac intel and a PowerBook G4 - 400 Ti. They both have Airport cards. I understand that they will "talk" to each other with out benefit of a router. I would like to know how I can set this up. I have gone through the setup procedures endlessly and, although I did manage to get the IMac to see the PB once, and I don't know how it happened, I have not been able to do it again. There was an icon on my IMac desktop that I could drag stuff to and it would transfer. I'm quite confident its a simple procedure that I, in my stupidity, cannot fathom. When I try to set up a network I get an error message saying : "There was an error joining the Airport Network". Could it be a "slave/master" relationship between the two computers? With a proper setup will the flow of info be two way or one way? Are the two computers or systems incompatible? You help will be deeply appreciated!

To my knowledge the information you heard is not
correct.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/
en/mh914.html
Any computer that has an Airport Card, or Wireless
Card (PC) will recognise any network that they are in
range of by and with the use of a ROUTER, thus
completeing the 2 way communication.
There are several different ways to connect and
confiqure a network, these different ways can be and
can get confusing without the paperwork on the step
by step set-up.

Actually none of the Airport cards require a Wireless base station (acting as a router/access point) to work. Airport supports ad-hoc wireless mode (computer-to-computer mode, in Apple lingo), which allows two or more wireless-enabled computers to be connected to each other WITHOUT the use of base station. Search for "computer-to-computer" in the support knowledge base.

BEFW11S4 will not connect two computers at once.

I have a new set of cables. When I hard wire two computers to router only one or the other will connect.
Thanks for any suggestions.

As gv has already requested, please post the output of "ipconfig /all" on each of the two computers.
In particular, do not -- repeat do NOT -- try to make both computers have the same IP address, because that is a situation in which both will NOT be able to connect to the internet at the same time. They need different -- repeat DIFFERENT -- IP addresses in order to do so.

To save my life I can't connect two computers together.

I have a G5 and an iBook G45.
They both connect to the Internet easily using my cable connection. There is a DLink router that allows both Macs to use the Internet at the same time.
But these two computers can't see each other. I've turned on file sharing and done everything else under the sun I can think of. Sometimes the IBook can see the G5 but today it has decided that the G5 server is running on the Ibook and I should access files locally.
The G5 can't see the Ibook ever.
I can use Firewire to connect easily.

Hi Stu,
Can you connect from one using the ip address of the other? The Finder command cmd-k brings up a dialog for you to enter the URI of the other machine. The first part is the protocol (e.g. http, ftp, afp) the next two parts are so unused I forget what they are. The third part is the host name or address and the last part is the filesystem or file.
So if the machine you wanted to connect to was 192.168.1.10, and it had appletalk filing protocol turned on (personal file sharing) and you wanted to mount Applications, you'd enter
afp://192.168.1.10/Applications
You can leave the filesystem off. If that works, then you can connect. That means you only have the problem of seeing. Each computer is supposed to announce its services using Bonjour. There's a great utility called Bonjour Browser (free on versiontracker) which will show you what's being advertised. I have noticed that it sometimes takes a very long time before file sharing is advertised.
