Creating a virtual private network from OSX Leopard to Windows Vista

Well as the title suggests, I need to be on the same VLAN with another user running Windows Vista. What solutions are there to accomplish this?
(HamachiX stops responding. The HamachiX CLI (command line) makes me login without me knowing how to. I'm ultimately trying to have a VLAN for some online gaming, NOT transferring files.)
Thanks so much!

This issue is not resolved but is being closed due to lack of response.

Creating a virtual private network?

I've been reading some articles recently about creating a virtual private network for security and privacy reasons. Is it easy and is it a good thing to do?
One part mentioned possibly having to pay a subscription for this service with your service provider? Would I have to with sky?

If you regularly have the need to remotely access another machine which is at a different geographic location, VPN is a great idea. It can be difficult to set up, and requires network hardware support. For example, you either need to have a VPN gateway device (such as a Netgear FVS114 - check for them on eBay), which acts as the VPN endpoint, or you need to run a VPN server on your Mac and your gateway must allow VPN passthrough traffic. I'd generally recommend the first option, although it can be more expensive.
You also need VPN client software running on the Mac you use to access your network. I recommend the free IPSecuritas. There's also VPN Tracker, which is very user friendly but does come at a price.

How can I create a Virtual Private Nework on my MacBook Pro?

Hello all,
I have a MacBook Pro 17" with OS X 10.4.7. I need to install and run five instances of Apache2 and demonstration the websites without having to be connected to a network/Internet. My /etc/hosts file would look something like:
192.168.21.1 www.local
192.168.21.2 svn.local
192.168.21.3 trac.local
192.168.21.4 jsp.local
192.168.21.5 cfmx.local
Then I could just open up a browser and type www.local in the url locator.
How would I setup a virtual network card where I can assign these IP addresses to it? Would I use the lo0 (loopback) for this?
I also have Parallels installed so that I can run one or more other operating system along side Mac OS X like Windows XP Pro, Redhat, etc.
Is there a way that I could create a virtual private network on my MacBook Pro and not have to be connected to any network?
How would I do this?
Thanks,
Troy Simpson

As it turns out this is exactly what I am looking for:
http://forum.parallels.com/thread1877.html
I want to create a Host-Only Network on my MacBook Pro. The Parallels software created a virtual Network Interface Card on the Host OS called en2. I just added aditional IP Address to this virtual Network Interface Card.
Even if you do not use Parallels for Hosting Guest OS (Virtual Machines), it does create the Virtual Network Interface Card.
Now I have 5 Web Servers on my MacBook Pro so that I can test various senerios and configurations.

Virtual Private Network using JSP

Sir tell me how to create a virtual private network in jsp using rmi to register for a new user and socket program to 1.send data(file and text)
2.Recieve data (for a particular client).The server will monitor which all clients are loggined into the network and control all transactions between clients.I am using jakarta tomcat 5.0 as webserver and notepad as editor.
Sir please help me....

alan,
Thank you for your reply.
I apologize for misunderstanding. I should have phrased my question better.
You wrote:
"Load up each OS on the hardware and then add the software and then figure out which matrix you're looking for. In order to do this your application will need to be compiled for each OS assuming that it isn't something cross platform such as a Java application. Is it completion time, time on the network, load, memory consumption, or something else that you're looking to measure?"
Although the application's own performance is extremely important, my question was not related to it.
It's written in .NET 2.0, and it's not designed to work on non-Windows machines, or not even on Mono framework.
I am asking about performance of virtual machines.
For example, if I had 2 servers (not just one) with the same technical characteristics, and run several "guest" virtual machines (say, for example, 1 Windows Server 2003 + 1 Windows XP) in a virtual private network on VirtualBox on both of those servers...
...so, everything is exactly the same, EXCEPT the host OS on the two servers: Solaris vs. something else (Fedora, or Windows Server 2008, or whatever),
my question is: would Solaris 10 provide better performance benchmark numbers, or would those numbers be the same as the other OS on the 2nd machine?
The problem is, I have quite a bit of experience with running virtual machines on Windows hosts, but I am new to Solaris, and I am trying to figure out which OS I would be better off installing on the new machine, because that decision is not going to be easy to undo later.
No "OS wars". Really. I do not have any allegiance to any particular OS.
Thank you.

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install tiger discs version 10.4.10. Is it safe to downgrade or not please help

Hi, I want to downgrade from OSX LEOPARD to OSX TIGER but I have a few questions regarding this. My iMac is originally from Sep 2007 it came preloaded with tiger. I have original install (2) tiger discs version 10.4.10. I want to know if it is safe and what are the necessary steps to do so. Also by downgrading im wondering if a lot of apps nowadays support tiger for example I have photoshop version 5 and 4 these are very important to me. One last question does anyone know of any reliable virus protection for mac that doesnt slow down your computer? because I have read that a lot of them do so. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it! Here are the specs for my iMac
Model Name:
iMac
Model Identifier:
iMac7,1
Processor Name:
Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:

Number Of Processors:

Total Number Of Cores:

Bus Speed:

Most of the time a perception of general slow performance is the result of installing third party junk alleged to speed up, "clean" or "optimize" your Mac, or to look for viruses that don't exist. Ideally you would know what you installed so you can uninstall it, but if you don't know or aren't sure there are techniques such as Safe Mode and creating a temporary user account to confirm that suspicion.
If you open Activity Monitor it may show a process, or processes, that occupy a lot of your system's time.
Slowness confined solely to web browser activity is often the result of an inexorable progress toward websites that demand ever more processor-intensive tasks. If your slow performance is strictly limited to web browsing, you might try disabling Flash by either uninstalling it, or use utilities such as ClickToFlash that allow you to control what Flash content gets loaded. Flash in itself is not inherently evil, but there is nothing to stop websites or the advertisers who pay for them from writing horrible Flash code that can do everything from hogging 100% of your CPU's time to causing random crashes. You can watch Activity Monitor as in the above to correlate these troublesome web pages with performance degradation.
You are correct; if your computer shipped with Tiger you may certainly revert to it. I forgot that Tiger was shipping on new Macs as recently as five years ago. To downgrade it would be necessary to completely erase your hard disk and boot with the Tiger installation DVD, followed by installing it anew. Such drastic measures are not necessary and you are unlikely to be satisfied with the results anyway.
Assuming your system is free of third party parasitic junk attached to OS X in an ill-conceived attempt to improve upon it, that your hard disk drive is sound and the boot volume has enough free space to work with, by far the best performance-enhancing improvement would be to add more memory. Buy as much as your computer can use and that you can afford. 2 GB is not that much any more.

Network problems with TC and windows vista

When I try to transfer data from my laptop using Windows vista to the TC, I get an network error message after a few seconds saying the computer is not connected to the network. I have no problems transferring small files (that take less than a few seconds to transfer) and the external router, my laptop and the TC are located close to each other. I tried almost everything but i don't know what the problem is.
Any suggestions?

Hello Bastiaandp. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
There is quite a bit of dialogue going around the Internet about Windows Vista & Windows 7 when it comes to file sharing with either the Apple AirPorts or Time Capsules. Most of this dialogue seems to be revolving around the version of SMB used by the newer Microsoft OSs and that used by these routers for files sharing.
A number of suggested solutions have been proposed, but none at this time, have provided a "permanent" solution. I too have experienced this same issue and have tried a number of these solutions. What finally worked for me was to make sure that: 1) The Workgroup name used on my Win 7 computer exactly matched the Workgroup name setting on the Disks > File Sharing tab within the AirPort Utility for my base station, & 2) That this name did NOT include any spaces. In my case, I used WORKGROUP for both settings.
Since doing so over six months ago, I have had no problems copying/moving files between my PC and the AirPort, regardless of their size.

Virtual Private Networking

I've tried to research this subject before I posted, but I really haven't found any good explanation - I've had an icon at the top right of my screen since I've had my computer - it's for "VPN" - which I've basically ignored until today - I'm curious as to its function. Like I said - I tried to find out more about it, but every explanation is unclear to me. Can anyone tell me, very simply, what exactly is VPN?

The name kind of says it all, but a practical example often helps.
First, think of a private network as any local area network such as that used in an office, your home, etc. Everything on that local area network (LAN) is private, and protected from the internet by firewalls, NAT devices, etc.
That's all well and good for people inside the office. However there are many cases where people outside the office would also benefit from access to the internal/private machines. For example, sales people might benefit from accessing the corporate database on product availability, client profile, etc., or maybe want access to a corporate file server or email server.
One option is to open those services to the outside world, but you then run into issues with protecting the data from unwanted users - e.g. hackers trying to crack into the corporate database, download financial information, etc.
It's possible to do using various authentication systems, encryption systems, etc., but you have to apply the same rules over and over again to every service that you want to be able to access remotely, and missing just one leaves your entire network vulnerable.
Enter the VPN.
The VPN extends the concept of the private LAN to specific remote systems. Remote users connected to the VPN (e.g. that sales guy on the road, the IT guy working from home, etc.) authenticate once to a VPN server and then appear to be in the LAN, just as if they were at a desk in the office.
As far as all the internal servers are concerned, the user is local. He can do anything he'd be able to do in the office, including printing on office printers, accessing file servers, etc., without the need to specially configure each service, and without the need to open lots of holes in the corporate firewall.
So the user on the VPN appears to be on the local network, but isn't - hence the 'Virtual' part of the equation.
VPNs can be scaled to support anywhere from one or two users to thousands of users across multiple continents - it's not uncommon, for example, for multi-national corporations to have VPN connections between offices. That way anyone in any office can connect, securely and easily, with anyone else, without having to worry (too much) about where that resource is, or whether it's available outside of the office.
Does that help?

No sound from OSX, fine in Windows 7

I'm having a problem where I am getting no sound from OSX from the internal speakers or headphone jack. Everything is fine in Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition.
Im using OSX 10.9.1 on a Macbook pro retina.
I don't hear the 'pop' noise when changing volume and the output is set to internal speakers.
Strange thing is the first time I play a track from itunes or a video from youtube, i get about 0.5s of audio but then it cuts out.
Update:
Getting this in the console.

Hi roboguy123,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I'd recommend starting with the troubleshooting steps in this article if you do not hear sound from the internal speakers on your MacBook Pro:

Comparing OS X Leopard to Windows Vista...

I saw Windows Vista for the first time this weekend and while the first thing I noticed was that many of the features were taken straight from Mac (ex: Expose or the Apple+Tab feature) there was one thing that I noticed Vista had, that Mac did not - and it surprised me.
Transparent frames around application windows:
http://www.microsoft.com/library/media/1033/windows/images/products/windowsvista /features/details/screenshot_windowsflip.jpg
Well... being a visual person, I was quite drawn to this feature - it was pleasing to the eye, and I thought "How cool would my Mac desktop look with this feature!"
So I was wondering - is there anything on the Mac that can set up application windows similarly to the ones on Windows Vista?

LoL - yeah... I'm not sure what caused me to click w/ it so much - I guess just having a frame around the application window made it seem a little cleaner. I also liked how their version of Expose could fan out *shifty eyes*
No worries though - I'm still Mac through and through lol - I enjoy not having to worry too much about viruses or bugs
I have both Leopard and Vista 64-bit Ultimate on this MBP. Both work fine. I tend to see beyond the desktop, being a *nixer at heart, but I have none of the complaints with either OS that many others report. In fact Apple does not yet support the 64-bit Vista, but it runs fine just the same after dl-ing some drivers directly from the manufacturers.
