Cross platform router connection to Web

As the subject implies I want to connect both a Mac and PC(Windows) to Web using a router and cable modem. Can someone knowledgeable with this technology tell me how to do this? I know how to connect the cable output to the router input and the router outputs to the Mac and PC. I'm concerned about whether there are specific settings for the Mac/PC networking applications!
Also are there any suggestions for router make/model that would simplify this setup? Thanks in advance for the help.
Roger

All internet settings are based on TCP/IP which is a pretty universal standard.
By default the router should be happy to share the cable modem connection with any number of devices on your local network.
As such there shouldn't be any issue hooking up your Mac, your PC, your PlayStation 3, XBox, Blu-Ray player as well as any other device you have that uses IP networking.
Also are there any suggestions for router make/model that would simplify this setup?
For pure simplicity and ease of use you can't beat the Apple Base Stations (and, yes, they'll work with your PC, etc.)

Presenting Keynote over the web cross platform

Hello All, I need to do a client review using Keynote over the web. Is there a good solution that will work cross platform? The client is on a PC.

not without special software...or, wait till October when 10.5 comes out. That's one of the new features of the version of iChat that comes with 10.5.

External Hard Drive won't appear on PC (want cross platform)

I have an external USB Hard Drive. I formatted it using the Disk Utility, OS Format and Journaling. Did a small partition in case I needed a system boot drive. Now my sis needed to backup her laptop (Dell laptop), but the drive won't appear in My Computer, it recognizes there is a USB device on the lower task bar, but no drive anywhere.
Do I have to reformat? what steps do I need to make this USB drive cross-platform friendly?
Paul

Hi, Paul.
You may not want to reformat the drive as FAT-32 since there is a limit on the size of the partition, the maximum file size, and other issues, especially if her Dell's drive is formatted as NTFS (FAT-32 does not support NTFS extended attributes). FAT-32 is unsuitable for backing-up Mac OS X volumes as it cannot preserve the extended attributes (permissions, etc.) employed by Mac OS X.
It's really best if you each have your own external hard drive for backup, as part of implementing a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution, such as I use and detail in my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. You also don't want one person inadvertently writing over another person's backups, which could happen if one is not careful. Furthermore, it is often easiest for recovery.
How one handles backup in cross-platform environments is tricky and depends on the native formats employed by the different computers involved, and whether backup will be performed over a network or by directly connecting backup drives to the computers one is backing up.
To enable her Dell to use the Mac-formatted drive, install Mediafour's MacDrive for Windows on the PC. MacDrive for Windows is probably the state-of-the-art application for enabling you to use Mac-formatted disks and hard drives on Windows-based PCs.
Good luck!

Laserjet Color MFP M276nw Cannot connect to Web Services, tried every suggestion on forum

I've tried every suggestion possible on the forum. I opened up all ports suggested by HP support on my Belkin wireless N600 router. Changed DMZ to IP address on printer. We even directly wired ethernet to printer, still cannot connect to Web Services. Now I have to wait till April 4 for a engineer to call me back. Everything else is working fine. I can print wirelessly from my laptop & smartphone. Just cannot access Web Services, oh & firmware is up to date on printer & router. We changed DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It sounds like you have done everything to connect the web services. Web services will not connect if you are on a guest network but if you are connected via ethernet it should be on the right band. What is the printer's IP address? Sometimes it can be too high. Is this for a company that has a proxy on the network? How far away is the printer from the router? Are there any metal shelves, wireless devices or anything else near the printer or between the printer and the router? Check that the router is on Channel 11.
--Printer Does Not Connect To Web Services--
Have you heard back from the engineer? I am anxious to know how it went. I am happy to help if they don't, otherwise keep me posted on what happens. I possibly have one more step for you.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

Error: Error #2170 Connection Type: Web Service

Hi all,
In BO I have changed the external address on DNS say abc.com
Now when I try to access the dashboard internally it gives the error trying to access xyz.com which was previous external ip.
The error I get is
To access external data, add a cross-domain policy file to the external data web server.
For more information, on the Adobe website, see the article "Cross-domain Policy File Specification".
If the problem persists, contact the file creator or your system administrator.
Error: Error #2170
Connection Type: Web Service
File URL: http://abc.com...
External Data URL: http://xyz.com...."

May be in connections, you have hardcoded the server as xyz.com. It is always advisable to use relative url so that the servername and port is resolved in runtime.
Also, check in CMC > Applications > Web Service > Properties what is the server name specified ? Is it still the old one ?

Recommendations for cross-platform software development?

I'm considering developing a new shareware product and I'd like for it to be able to run on both OS X and Windows, and Linux too if that ends up not requiring too much more effort.
I've been a Java programmer for many years now, making Java in some ways a very obvious solution. But I've never been all that pleased with the look and the performance of Java Swing GUIs. Swing isn't all that bad for some uses, but it can be clumsy in many ways (like Mac open/save file dialogs), doesn't always get the look-and-feel of a particular platform quite right, misses many platform-specific features one might want to access -- in short, Java-based apps seldom manage to have the fit-and-finish of off-the-shelf, shrink-wrapped commercial software.
I could stick with Java and try out the SWT toolkit (it's better at getting native look-and-feel, and native performance) for building a GUI, but from what I've read SWT has its limitation as well, and besides, because of the nature of the product I have in mind -- something dealing with audio and music -- a lot of the open source code I'd like to incorporate into my product is written in C or C++, and I might need to do some low-level driver work too. Trying to bridge all of that into a Java app with lots of JNI work doesn't seem like the best route to take.
I could learn C# and use Mono to make my stuff work for OS X, but, although I've never worked with C# and whatever standard GUI libraries one would typically use with C#, I suspect that it will work best for Windows and be kind of iffy for Mac use.
All this said, I'm fairly certain that, after many years away from it, the best thing for me to do is get back into using C++ for this project.
From my cursory preliminary research, the best looking C++ cross-platform development library I've seen so far is Qt from Trolltech. It's also very expensive from the viewpoint of a start-up operation -- a few thousand dollars, even with a 65% discount given to small start-ups.
There's the totally free, open-source wxWidgets, but it sounds like wxWidgets' Mac support isn't the greatest, and it sounds like it's noticeably buggier than Qt. Maybe it would still be good enough for my uses, but I don't know that yet -- which is one reason I'm writing this post, hoping others have had some experience with it.
Anyone know any other C++ cross platform toolkits for general GUI application development? One article I read said:
If your needs are a free cross-platform environment, then wxWidgets is your best and only solution. However, for under $100, you can find a cross-platform environment with a much better Macintosh user experience than wxWidgets.
I can't seem to find any of these better-than-wxWidgets, under-$100 solutions, however. Suggestions, anyone?

Hi--
I think, from looking at that page he must be talking about the CPLAT framwork. It's kind of hard to figure out from that page, but he's got another page with information on CPLAT here.
It looks like it's $50 for the license. You can also look at the official CPLAT site for more info. I've never used it, though, so I can't really say whether it's any good or not. But there is a trial version available...

No Pre-CS4 cross-platform upgrades anymore?

I bought CS3.3 Web Premium for Windows 2 1/2 months ago. Before I purchased I confirmed with Adobe Customer Service that I can exchange it to the Mac version for free.
This week I finally purchased a Mac and called Adobe to get the Mac version, and was told that my only option would be to upgrade to CS4 Mac (for $$$) and that they no longer sell / send out version 3.3.
Can this be for real? I just bought it 2 1/2 months ago and they are no longer honoring their free cross-platform upgrade policy. It's hard to imagine that they don't have 3.3 in stock any more. It's not like I am requesting a CS2 Win to CS2 Mac upgrade. I just spend a lot of money, and now they want me to spend even more money...
Any ideas? Anybody at Adobe reading this?
Greg

Now that makes sense. I'm beginning to thing that the techs and sales people at Adobe don't really know anything. I spoke to three, and none of them even hinted at that possibility.
I also spoke to someone at Apple who said that their software couldn't damage the Mac's hardware, as well. It's hard to believe they'd keep it on the market without warnings, recalls or disclaimers, knowing it could do that much damage.
Sure leaves a bad taste in my mouth about Adobe. Maybe it's time for me to look at other software.
Thanks,
Michele

Cross platform migration from hp unix to sun

Hi
recently we have done cross platform migration from hp unix to sun (10g R2 RAC +ASM). It was a challenging experience to complete the migration in 8 hours downtime for a database of about 2 TB.
I would like to share the experience , so that it would be hepfull to others and i would learn more new techniques for improvement .
source environment:
HP-UX -ITANIUM - 2 node RAC - 10g R2 - Oracle clusterware - ASM - Heavily loaded all the time .
Destination Env:
Sun solaris 10 - 2 node RAC - 10g R2 - Oracle Clusterware - ASM
Total Downtime available : 6 hours.
Steps followed
1. snapshot backup of source database on a intermediate HP-Unix box. (stage area)
2. recover the database and start the rman image backup on to disk in stage area.
3. mount this filesystem locally (Veritas ) on to one of the node in the destination env.
4. Mount this filesystem as NFS on second node using a cross cable between both of them (we can use interconnect VLAN also here)
5. Keep applying the archive logs from source env till the downtime .
5. startup nomount the database , change the datafile names from ASM to RMAN image copy files and mount.
6. start rman convert statements and pump into the already exisitng ASM nodes with parallel sessions as much as possible (with 35 sets (513 datafiles) we were able to pump 2 TB data in 4.5 Hrs) - only system and undo datafiles need a convert statements (platform migration ) others would need a file system to ASM conversion only.
7. alter database open resetlogs in the destination environment.
8. create services manually and start the application.
we were given very less time to decide upon this stategy , By gods grace we were able to complete it .
I got a doubt while we are chalking out this plan .
can we connect to ASM instance remotely and pump data from one ASM to another ASM. It seems it is not possible , just a wild thought.
Let me know if you see any more improvements in this.
Thanks
Naveen samala

can we connect to ASM instance remotely and pump data from one ASM to another ASM. It seems it is not possible , just a wild thought.No. Thats not possible.

Recommended way to unit test mobile cross platform C++ in Visual Studio 2015

Hello,
I'm playing with the new Visual Studio 2015 to check its capabilities for cross platform development using C++ as coding language. I've seen several videos in Channel9 about this feature but I don't remember hearing in any of these a word about how
to unit test such projects from Visual Studio 2015. Is there some recommended way to create unit tests for such projects?
I'm not sure I can use Visual Studio test projects for C++ to test the android library or the Windows Phone 8.1. If I add a new platform ARM to a test project of those, I cannot select in the platform toolset combo the values that I have for my libraries
(Clang 3.4 and Windows 8.1 respectively). So it seems that such test projects are not addressed for cross platform c++ in VS2015.
I also have tried to make a second cross platform library project to contain the tests, adding there the Catch.h file from catch framework or adding the files from Google Test framework. My idea was to link each cross platform test library with their corresponding
"production code" libraries. In both cases (catch and gtest) I have problems when trying to compile the test framework files (not sure if it is not possible or just my fault being new at C++ for mobile platforms).
Has anyone succeeded unit testing the cross platform c++ code in VS2015? How?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge.

Hi Jorge,
Thanks you for posting in MSDN forum.
Based on your issue, since VS2015 Preview is previews for the next major release of Visual Studio, currently we forums don’t provide support for VS2015 Preview. So the product team would accept the suggestions or feedbacks for the VS2015 now.
So you can submit the feedback/suggestions to Microsoft Connect feedback portal:
http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/CreateFeedback.aspx, Microsoft engineers will evaluate them seriously. Thanks for your understanding.
After you submit the feedback, you can post the link here which will be beneficial for other members with the similar issue. And I will help you to vote it.
Thank you for your understanding.

Cross platform pdf CD-rom with hyperlinks

Hi there, I am suffering with some cross platform impatience.
Trying to make a cd-rom...the structure is from a root folder-containing an html file which is opened then select links to open particular PDF documents (that all works fine)
In the PDF document there are hyperlinks to other PDf docs, word docs, zip files and powerpoiunt files. They all work perfectly on the PC but no links working from the mac.
Mac is running OS X 10.5.
I have created the links by using the advanced editing options, then add custonm link and add file. Then i select the appropraite file.
I did do it on an older version mac to test too (running mac OS X 10.4.10) and all the linking files worked except for the zip files - which try open a web browser. Thats ok though but then i put the cd-rom in the newer mac and nothing is linking (like dead links)
Thanks for any help - this is an urgent job i have to get out. So speedy replies will be GREATLY appreciated.

Cross-platform upgrade question

I'm posting this question here as I have had less than satisfactory results from asking Customer Support about this issue. I know this forum is moderated by some great folks at Adobe and am hoping someone can clear up this question for me.
I currently own CS3 Design Premium for Windows, and need to purchase CS5 for Mac. A search for "Cross platform swap" on Adobe brought me to this page: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html. However, the instructions there don't match what is offered on the support page. Under Return/Exchange/Refund I have only the following options:
Duplicate Order
Product Didn't perform/ work as expected
Purchased Incorrect upgrade
Purchased Wrong Product/Platform/Language
Shipping Problems
Unable to Download Order
Wrong Product delivered
None of those options is correct as described in the KB article. I decided to chat with Customer Support, and the rep told me that all I had to do is order the upgrade and I could choose which platform to install on first run. Really? The Rep said CS5 included two discs, one for Windows install and one for OS X. He assured me that I would have no problem installing a CS5 upgrade on my Mac, even though I have never installed CS3 on that machine.
I am skeptical about this solution for two reasons: one, Adobe has never offered Win and Mac discs together for CS versions. Two, when I go to pre-order CS5 I need to make a choice between platforms.
Has Adobe changed its method of delivering Creative Suite products? Are both platform discs really included? If not, there are two things that need to be done:
Article http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405819.html needs to be corrected. The steps as described cannot be completed.
Customer Support reps need to be notified that they are providing incorrect information regarding cross-platform upgrade procedures.
Finally, I need correct information as to how to go about upgrading my CS3 Windows to CS5 Mac. Do I purchase an upgrade disc and use my CS3 serial number to install? Do I do some sort of return, and if so, how?
Thanks in advance to anyone from Adobe who is willing to take the time to answer my question.

I don't represent Adobe in any capacity other than a mostly satisfied user. Here's what I did on a cross platform (Windows to Mac) exchange--not an upgrade, but my experience may help you.
I, too, found that the directions didn't match the support web site. So I used 'Purchased wrong...' as my subject. I then completely described what I wanted to do in the comments section. I included my current platform version and serial number in the comments. After posting I had a case number to enter onto the Letter of Destruction (LOD) which I then attached to the case. I don't know if a LOD is required in your situation as you will be paying for an upgrade. You should be able to keep both packages active-but customer support will probably know. In my case I had to certify that I had destroyed the original Windows package.
After this was posted to the Adobe Customer Support Portal I then had a case number I could give to the telephone customer support so I called them. While on the line with them they read my case file and informed me my credit card would be charged $5.95 for shipping. Six days later I had the CS4 Design Premium for the Mac. It *should* be just as easy for you.
I must say that I have had to call Adobe Customer Support a handful of times in the last couple of years. In each and every case I received prompt and accurate information that solved my problem or pointed me directly to the solution. I am aware that this is not always the case and wish you good luck.

RMAN Full Database restore cross platforms

All
I have a database 10.2.0.3 running on Solaris 10 OS.
I have performed a full back up (level 0) of this database using rman utility with auto back up on. I am trying to worl on a scenario where I could restore this backup on another linux machine. so I copied over all the backup pieces into the target linux server. from a local RDBMS installation (10.2.0.3) on the linux machine I am trying to restore the database... but not successful yet..
when I issue restore spfile or restore control file from +<backup file name>+; the prompt continues to search in some location is responding back saying no back up piece found.. below is the sequece of step I am trying ..
1 set up env on the linux server
2 rman target /
(instance not started but rman allows connection)
3 set DBID=+<DB ID of the source database running on Solaris>+
it executes set dbid=
4 startup nomount
as the pfile/spfile is not available under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs on linux machine it picks up default pfile however but the instance stars no mount..
5 restore spfile from '/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/rman_bkp/c-300009955'
here it is not able to restore any thing.same is the case with control file.
Any ideas please advice

Thanks for the referance. I now understand that I may not be able to use transportable database command to transport the entire db. However there is a line in the +"Restrictions on Cross-Platform Transportable Database"+ which says +"The principal restriction on cross-platform transportable database is that the source and destination platform must share the same endian format. For example, while you can transport a database from Microsoft Windows to Linux for x86 (both little-endian), or from HP-UX to AIX (both big-endian), you cannot transport a whole database from HP_UX to Linux for x86 using this feature. You can, however, create a new database on a destination platform manually, and transport needed tablespaces from the source database using cross-platform transportable tablespace as described in "Cross-Platform Tranportable Tablespace: CONVERT DATAFILE or TABLESPACE"."+
I understand if we are ready to transport every tablespace from Source to Target individually, may then be able to replicate a transportable database. Does the transportable tablespace do not have any restrictions like the transport database has got in respect to Platforms and Endian? Please clarify.
Also is there a support matrix for thr transportable database and tablespaces which we could refer to ?
Regards!
SaratSarat,
The same restriction that is there for the transport of the whole database lies completely true for the transportable tablespace as well if you are going for the cross platform. Endian must match across the platforms than only you can do this otherwise, as like the database feature, you need to convert the source file to the target endian.
If you look at the reference doc for the Trasnport Tablespace command,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14194/rcmsynta063.htm#RCMRF1919
This restriction is documented there besides other restrictions
>
Restrictions and Usage Notes
The limitations on creating transportable tablespace sets described in Oracle Database Administrator's Guide apply to transporting tablespaces from backup, with the exception of the requirement to make the tablespaces read-only.
TRANSPORT TABLESPACE does not perform endian format conversion. If the target platform has a different endian format, then you must use the RMAN CONVERT command to perform the separate step of converting the endian format of the datafiles in the transportable set.

HP7520 Unable to Connect To Web Services

I just (today) purchased a HP Photosmart 7520. I set it up and configured it to my wireless network. I have an Mac Airport Router. I have 1 Mac and 2 PC's printing to it fine (off the wireless network). The problem is that when I go to setup my eprint it says Unable to Connect to Web Services. The wireless report shows no errors and says its connected to the internet. HP support had me go into the service mode (a series of button pressing) and do a semi full reset which did not help the problem. Any ideas on why I can not connect to web services? HP spent about an hour on the phone with me and could not resolve.
Thanks

Hi jreyn25,
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
Please run the wireless setup wizard on the front panel of the printer. If you are unsure how to do this, the steps can be found on page 48 of your User Guide in the section titled “To connect the product with the Wireless Setup Wizard”. After connecting the printer you will be prompted to print a report. Please choose to do so. I have included a screen shot of what the report should like.
I highlighted where you should find the printer’s IP address on the report. Please try and connect to the printer’s IP address that is showing on the report. If you get a security pop-up when trying to get the embedded web server (EWS), choosing to continue will not harm your computer while you navigate within the EWS for your printer. If you encounter this error outside of your printer’s EWS, your computer could be at risk. You can find this information in the document titled Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Please let me know how it goes.

Belkin wireless router connected but browser could not find the host server

my new roommate has a belkin n wireless router connected to a cable modem which functions perfectly on her pc laptop. i am trying to connect my MacBook Pro to the router using her WEP password. this all works fine and my System Preferences/Network/Status shows that AirPort is connected with full strength, but i cannot load any web pages (i have not yet been able to load any pages at all using this router). the page load error reads "Firefox can't find the server at www.cnn.com" and "The browser could not find the host server for the provided address".
I spoke with Belkin support and they say the router is functioning properly, that is a problem with my mac.
When I go to Network Diagnostics, the status shows all green and says "This computer's Internet connection appears to be operating normally. Are you sure you want to use Network Diagnostics?
Could this be a firewall issue? A couple people have suggested that, but I'm not sure how to fix that.
I have tried rebooting the router and cable modem, rebooting the mac, etc.
any ideas on what settings i may need to investigate??
thank you!

how do I know if the router has useful DNS servers? i am looking at the settings of the router on the pc that is online.
Somewhere in the settings of the router should be the DNS servers that it is using. Since the router is offering via DHCP to do DNS translation for your Mac, it must have useful DNS servers listed.
There are "public" DNS servers. I have no experience with it, but this Web page describes one from Google:
http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
Supposedly Google has a DNS server at IP addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 that you might try. Since the DNS server setting on your Mac is grayed out, as a test you might try noting the setting in the "TCP/IP" tab of your AirPort connection item of the Network panel of System Preferences. Then switch from "Using DHCP" to "Manually", fill in the values you just noted, switch to the DNS tab and fill in Google's DNS addresses, and see if things work better.
do you have any other suggestions of where to seek help???
Perhaps a Belkin discussion group?
