Connecting two Mac Minis using wifi

My actual set up:
Bedroom - Macmini (2007) linked to a dsl modem via an ethernet cable. A Samsung display, a LaCie 2tb drive, are also connected to it.
In a very near future:
LivingRoom - Macmini (2011, to be delivered in a couple of days... hopefully) will have access to internet via wifi. A 55" TV, a LaCie Minimus 2tb drive (a clone of the other one in the bedroom) and a DAC will be connected to the new mini.
My question:
How can I connect the two minis together using wifi so that I can have easy acces to all the files in the drive connected to the Mac mini in the other room?
I have looked at the "File sharing preferences" in the system preferences but I am not that sure how to do it.
A little guidance would be greatly appreciated!

"File sharing preferences" is indeed how to do it. Connect both minis to your router (one by ethernet cable, one by wifi, it doesn't matter.)
Then turn on "File Sharing" in Sharing Prefs on both minis. Also, give them both meaningful, different names under "Computer Name".
Then, when you open a finder window on one mini, the other one should appear under "Shared", like this:

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.

Tecra A9 - Connecting two external displays using Express Port Replicator

Hi,
I have a Tecra A9 and Express Port Replicator.
I'm trying to connect 2 external displays, one connected on the notebook output and the other connected on the docking station (notebook lid closed, not using the notebook display).
I can only get one to work, does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi
I think you want to connect one monitor to VGA and the other to DVI port.
Is it right?
Well, I found this doc:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB7B0201000CR01.htm
It depends on the used Tecra A9, if you can get a picture on the DVI out port on the Express Port Replicator (PA3508E-1PRP) or not.
The DVI port on the on the Express Port Replicator is only supported on machines with ATI or nVidia graphic card.
If you have a INTEL graphic card the DVI port on the on the Express Port Replicator is NOT supported.

Connecting two computers together using an intermediate server.

I'm trying to write a program that allows users to connect to a server and then pairs off users to chat. I setup the connections between the two clients and that works fine, but as soon as the server disconnects from the two clients the connection between the two is lost. The server is always runnning, it sets up sockets that are global to the clients, what am I missing?

I am not very sure how are you trying to do the job. Is it
client1 <-----> server <----> client2
i.e. all message from client1 is send to server which passes them on to client2 and vice versa. If yes, you will loose connectivity when server goes down. Instead, try a an connection client1 directlyt to client2. for this you might need to run a socket server on client2
the pseudo code might look like this
1. client1 connect to server.
2. client1 check client2 is logged in and convays interest to connect to client2
3. client1 gets IP address and port of client2 from server. This info has been convayed to sever when client 2 logged in.
4. client1 opens socket connection to client2
5. client2 has ServerSocket with establishes recieves connection, opens socket and starts chat seesion.
Note that after step 5, client1 and client2 are directly connected and server no longer comes into picture. It only acts as repository for IP address and port of client2.
hope it helps

Connecting two Coherence Clusters using Replication

I am using: http://wiki.tangosol.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=1343616 to setup the "Replicated-site Coherence*Extend Example". On running the build I am getting errors as shown below. Can anyone help me to resolve this so that I can get the example up and running?

Connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once

I am trying to connect two external monitors to mini DP(using a mini DP to VGA adapter) and the VGA out at once. Windows recognize both monitors as well. But it dowsn't let me use all three monitors at once(see the below image). In the dropdown, it lists all three monitors. Problem is there are two active displays I can select.

Mavec wrote:
I would like to add a third monitor.
The GPU(s) in your T400 (and most other laptop brands) will support two different displays concurrently. If you want to support more than two different displays concurrently, you will need another GPU external to the T400.
Generally, if you want to use two external displays on a T400 you will nee dto use a docking station.
I have read messages on various fora on this topic and know that there are a number of ways of doing this, but as I have never had a need to do this myself I can't tell you how to go about it.

Problem connecting two trunks to sip provider using same CUBE

We need to connect two SIP trunks from service provider to Cisco CUCM 7.1 using CUBE “Cisco 2821”, SP using the following configuration:
First SIP PSTN Link Configuration(In-Out DID/DOD 218 7700 – 218 7799)
Customer IP Address =   10.196.191.158/30
SP IP Address = 10.196.191.157/30
Protocol= SIP
SIP Port = 5060
Transport Protocol=UDP
Voice Codec= G711 A-Law
DTMF = IN-Band DTMF without RFC2833
Signaling IP address = 10.201.20.49
IP Address 10.201.20.10 (Media IP) must be visible from IP PABX
Second SIP PSTN Link Configuration( Inbound Only 920009999)
Customer IP Address =   10.196.192.94/30
SP IP Address = 10.196.192.93/30
Protocol= SIP
SIP Port = 5060
Transport Protocol=UDP
Voice Codec= G711 A-Law
DTMF = IN-Band DTMF without RFC2833
SIP server IP address = 10.201.20.49
IP Address 10.201.20.10 (Media IP) must be visible from IP PABX
When we tried to configure both links on the same CUBE we faced two problems:
-          Routing issue, as we can’t route traffic using single CUBE through two different interfaces to the same destination “ i.e we have to configure static route commend (ip route 10.201.20.49 255.255.255.255 10.196.191.157 & ip route 10.201.20.49 255.255.255.255 10.196.192.93), sip traffic coming from one link can’t be sure to send it back to the same link.
-          SIP media & signaling control binding issue, as CUBE support sip binding using one interface only “one IP Address”, if we not using binding commands on the CUBE we can’t receive any calls though any link.
We have two options:
SP to send both traffic on the same trunk link
Or
Have another CUBE for the second link.
Attached network diagram.
Any solution?????

Ahmed Rizk

I didn't mean NAT CUCM, I meant the interface towards it. But since you're using a single interface then yes that is what you NAT. You have a lot going on in that config. Probably a lot more than you need. Like I said you should work on this in two legs. CUBE to ITSP, and then CUCM to CUBE. You're trying to make the whole thing work in one shot which is going to cause you some headaches.
Install XLite free version. In the account settings set your UserID to a generic 10 digit phone number, domain to something generic, then at the bottom set the Proxy Address to the IP of your CUBE. The media ports will be negotiated dynamically between the CUBE and the ITSP. Since you said you're not registering you will also need to give the ITSP YOUR peer IP (this is how they secure the trunk) which is whatever IP you're sourcing from when you leave your network (what you're NAT'ing the CUBE to).
For testing, reduce your config to something like this:
voice service voip
allow-connections sip to sip
allow-connections h323 to sip
no supplementary-service sip moved-temporarily
no supplementary-service sip refer
signaling forward none
sip
dial-peer voice 10 voip
description CUBE_TO_ITSP
session protocol sipv2
session target ipv4:SIGNALING IP PROVIDED BY ITSP
destination-pattern [2-9].........
codec g711ulaw
dtmf-relay rtp-nte sip-notify
no vad
dial-peer voice 20 voip
description ITSP_TO_CUBE
destination-pattern .
session protocol sipv2
session target ipv4:Eventually your CUCM IP...for now set it to your computers IP.
codec g711ulaw
dtmf-relay rtp-nte sip-notify
no vad
Use XLite to place a phone call from your PC (if you have a mic and speakers you can have audio if the call connects). This should come pretty close to getting your outward leg established. Once you get this part working you can add in more codecs and translation profiles if you want. Let me know what happens. Include any debug or packet cap results if you can.

Yes, I know this is an old post, but I’m trying to clean them up. Did you solve this problem, if so what was the solution?
This sound like a firewall issue. I would start by disabling the firewall and seeing if you can connect. If this works then you know where the problem is,

Connecting to two database instances using the same Toplink

Hi,
We are trying to create a process using BPEL where data from one database instance needs to be passed to the other. The process is compiling properly and we could deploy it in BPEL Process Manager. But when we try to run the process, the data is not getting inserted into the second instance. There is no error /exception being thrown at most of the time, but at times we are getting a 'Unique constraint error' eventhough there is no duplication of data.
Can we connect to two different instances using the same toplink. How can we achieve this.
Thanks in advance

You need to use two different sessions with two different mapping descriptors

Connecting Two PC using internet connection ??

Hi,
I want to develop one software so that I can connect two PC using internet connection means one is host and another is remote.So that I can access remote PC's Hard drive using internet connction.Can any one plz give me some guideline how I can start.Eagerly waiting for someone reply.
Thanks & Regards

This is not what you have in mind, but it will work.
Create a server that listens for connections from a client. Create a list of commands that can be issued by client to view information. Such a list in your case would be similar to the following:
Open
ChageDir
Rename
CreateDir
DeleteDir
ListDir
Next, you need to implement the processes that will actually do the command on the remote computer. When the client issues the "ListDir" command, then adds a line (the path of the directory to list) the server should then do this (vary simple, but you get the idea):
File file = new File(theDirectory);
if (file.isDirectory()) {
String[] list = file.list();
socketOutputStream.println("Directory " + theDirectory);
for (int i=0; i<list.length;i++) {
socketOutputStream.println(list);
socketOutputStream.flush();
So, you should get the idea from this. For each command, have a method to handle the actual work on the server-side, then have the server send the resulting data back to the client for display. Notice how much this looks like DOS. It's the same idea - a command line interface (called a CLI).
