Difference between Share Disks over WAN vs. over Internet using Bonjour?

I would like to find out the Difference between selecting the "Share Disks over WAN" option only vs also selecting the additional "Share disks over Internet using Bonjour" option. Any info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

you can access drives plugged into your AirPort extreme base station from outside the network by typing in the IP address of the modem/base station in the "Connect to Server" dialogue on the Finders "Go" menu (or press Command+K when in Finder). You can get the base station IP by opening the AirPort Utility from your utilities folder, and click "manual setup" at the very bottom of the summary tab should be the IP address given the base by your modem.
As long as you have "Share Disks over WAN enabled" when you connect using the IP from another location you will be prompted to authenticate to the AirPort Base station and if authentication is successful you will be prompted to mount a disk (the disk plugged into your AirPort base station should be the only available disk to mount).
Keep in mind you must give out the Base Station password unless you allow guest connections to the disk.

  • Share disk via WAN

    hi there,
    I want to use the files on the disk in my Time Capsule when I'm not at home, so not directly connected to the Time Capsule.
    I enabled the option to share disks via WAN, but I was wondering how to connect to the drive over WAN?
    (I want to use this on a windows 7 laptop)
    can you guys help me out?
    thanks in advance

    Find out what your AirPort's external IP address is. You can see it under the Summary tab of the AirPort Utility. From your Win7 PC connected to the WAN, open the Start menu and locate the Run... command. In the dialog enter the IP address with two backslashes in front of it, i.e., \\123.456.654.321 .

  • Difference between Share Permissions and Security NTFS Folder Permissions

    What is the main difference between share and security in
    1. 2003 server and above:
    2. How in Organisations share data folder for users
    AS per me i Have following conclusion 
    1.
    Yes - Always open up Share permissions to Everyone-Full and the ACL (apply permissions) to the actual data
    folders (must be NTFS). With NT4 and W2000 you can leave the Share permissions at default when you create them and just ACL the NTFS data structures.
    With W2003, the default Share permission is locked down to Read, and as Share permissions over-ride NTFS permissions,
    even if you have Write access in the data folders, accessing via the Share will restrict to Read-Only, so you must open up the Share permissions on all new W2003 Shares that you create.
    2.
    Yes you can. Share the top level directory of your data. Open up the Share permissions to Everyone - Full,
    and then ACL the sub-folders appropriately for you different user access requirements. Don't permission (ACL) any data with 'Everyone' always use Groups (or users if you must...e.g. Home Directories), and at minimum for 'public' data use 'Authenticated Users'.
    Users will all be able to access the share, but only access folders and data that you allow via the NTFS permissions (ACLs).
    The only other way is to create separate shares for each different access requirement - a pain and none too
    flexible. Also if with W2K3 you leave the default Share permission (Read), even though you grant 'Write' NTFS permissions on the data, your users won't be able to write new data or make changes if they access via the Share, as Share permissions over-ride the
    NTFS permissions.
    If You have any other options so please suggest me or otherwise mark it as Answer 

    Sounds good. :)

  • Difference between running Disk Utility and "Archive and Install"

    Hi all,
    I'm one of the poor souls who is having trouble with the software update 10.4.6. My iMac stopped halfway while doing the update, and when it attempted to do a restart, the iMac froze. I did the mistake of forcing it to shutdown, instead of just letting it take its time.
    Last night, I attempted the Safe Boot but it did not work. The progress indicator kept on spinning for hours! SHOULD I TRY IT AGAIN?
    Also, can someone tell me the difference between unning Disk Utility and "Archive and Install"? I figure I might have to do one of them to repair my iMac. I just want to do something that will reduce the chances of me wiping out my files. I also have the TechTool Deluxe CD with me. Should I be using that instead?
    Please help.

    i just had a simialr issue with my powerbook. I stress similar, but in the end i had the same issue with the start up screen (light blue, apple icon and the spinning indicator below it. I could not get past it.
    I ran disk utility from the boot disk, and got a kernel panic on verifying and and repairing permissions.
    So (and this is what Im suggesting you try) in disk utility I made a disk image of my internal hard drive and saved it to an external hard drive. Takes a while but a worthy precaustion.
    Second I went ahead and installed the OS on the external drive. Once that was done I boted from the external to oprn the disk image back up of my powerbooks internal drive. After that checked out i wnet back to the boot disk and did a clean install of the OS (wiping the internal) and things were fine after that.
    maybe wait and see how other people respond to this before jumping into it, but its smart to back everything up on an external any day.
    much luck to you

  • Sharing time capsule over internet using bonjour

    I recently purchased a time capsule and set it up to wirelessly connect to my home network. After some reading I've found out that I can access the time capsule when away from home. I've read that there is normally a spot to check "share disks over WAN" but I have "share disks over the internet using bonjour". Now I have tried to share the disk using bonjour and I can't figure out how to access it after this step is completed. Can anyone help??
    Thanks

    Hello mbeal08. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    (Note: The following procedure will only work if the Time Capsule (TC) is the router directly connected to Internet modem. It will NOT work if the TC is a downstream router behind another router.)
    To share out the TC's internal drive to the Internet:
    Configuring the TC
    AirPort Utility > Select the TC
    o Note the value of the IP Address. This is the Public or WAN-side IP address of the TC. (Note: You will need to have either a static Public IP address, or use a free dynamic DNS service in order to access the TC from the Internet. This is something Back to my Mac (BTMM) would have make simple for you.)
    Manual Setup > Internet > Internet Connection
    o Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
    Manual Setup > Disks > Files Sharing tab
    o Enable file sharing (checked)
    o Secure Shared Disks = With base station password
    o AirPort Disks Guest Access = Not allowed
    o Share disks over Ethernet WAN port (checked)
    Manual Setup > AirPort > Base Station
    o Enter a Base Station Password and verify it in the Verify Password box.
    Manual Setup > Advanced > Port Mapping
    o Click the plus sign "+" to add a new port mapping.
    o In the Public UDP Port(s) and Public TCP Port(s) boxes, type in a 4-digit port number (e.g., 5688) that you choose.
    o In the Private IP Address box, type the internal IP address of your TC that you noted earlier.
    o In the Private UDP Port(s) and Private TCP Port(s) boxes, type 548, and then, click Continue.
    o In the Description box, type a descriptive name like "Time Capsule File Sharing," and then, click Done.
    o When you have made all the changes, click Update.
    Connect the MacBook Pro to the TC from a remote location
    o In the Finder, click Go > Connect to Server.
    o Type in the correct domain name or external IP address for your network, plus a colon and the port number you specified when configuring the TC earlier. For example,"www.myTC.com:5688" or "145.200.112.108:5688".
    o Click Connect.
    o You will be prompted for your user name and password. The user name can be anything you like; the password would be the TC's Base Station password you defined earlier.
    o Click Connect.
    You should now be connected to the TC's internal drive from your MBP. (Note: The TC will appear in the Shared section of your Finder's sidebar as a server with TC's Base Station Name as the server name.)

  • Difference between ASM Disk Group, ADVM Volume and ACFS File system

    Q1. What is the difference between an ASM Disk Group and an ADVM Volume ?
    To my mind, an ASM Disk Group is effectively a logical volume for Database files ( including FRA files ).
    11gR2 seems to have introduced the concepts of ADVM volumes and ACFS File Systems.
    An 11gR2 ASM Disk Group can contain :
    ASM Disks
    ADVM volumes
    ACFS file systems
    Q2. ADVM volumes appear to be dynamic volumes.
    However is this therefore not effectively layering a logical volume ( the ADVM volume ) beneath an ASM Disk Group ( conceptually a logical volume as well ) ?
    Worse still if you have left ASM Disk Group Redundancy to the hardware RAID / SAN level ( as Oracle recommend ), you could effectively have 3 layers of logical disk ? ( ASM on top of ADVM on top of RAID/SAN ) ?
    Q3. if it is 2 layers of logical disk ( i.e. ASM on top of ADVM ), what makes this better than 2 layers using a 3rd party volume manager ( eg ASM on top of 3rd party LVM ) - something Oracle encourages against ?
    Q4. ACFS File systems, seem to be clustered file systems for non database files including ORACLE_HOMEs, application exe's etc ( but NOT GRID_HOME, OS root, OCR's or Voting disks )
    Can you create / modify ACFS file systems using ASM.
    The oracle toplogy diagram for ASM in the 11gR2 ASM Admin guide, shows ACFS as part of ASM. I am not sure from this if ACFS is part of ASM or ASM sits on top of ACFS ?
    Q5. Connected to Q4. there seems to be a number of different ways, ACFS file systems can be created ? Which of the below are valid methods ?
    through ASM ?
    through native OS file system creation ?
    through OEM ?
    through acfsutil ?
    my head is exploding
    Any help and clarification greatly appreciated
    Jim

    Q1 - ADVM volume is a type of special file created in the ASM DG.  Once created, it creates a block device on the OS itself that can be used just like any other block device.  http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17612/asmfilesystem.htm#OSTMG30000
    Q2 - the asm disk group is a disk group, not really a logical volume.  It combines attributes of both when used for database purposes, as the database and certain other applications know how to talk "ASM" protocol.  However, you won't find any general purpose applications that can do so.  In addition, some customers prefer to deal directly with file systems and volume devices, which ADVM is made to do.  In your way of thinking, you could have 3 layers of logical disk, but each of them provides different attributes and characteristics.  This is not a bad thing though, as each has a slightly different focus - os file system\device, database specific, and storage centric.
    Q3 - ADVM is specifically developed to extend the characteristics of ASM for use by general OS applications.  It understands the database performance characteristics and is tuned to work well in that situation.  Because it is developed in house, it takes advantage of the ASM design model.  Additionally, rather than having to contact multiple vendors for support, your support is limited to calling Oracle, a one-stop shop.
    Q4 - You can create and modify ACFS file systems using command line tools and ASMCA.  Creating and modifying logical volumes happens through SQL(ASM), asmcmd, and ASMCA.  EM can also be used for both items.  ACFS sits on top of ADVM, which is a file in an ASM disk group.  ACFS is aware of the characteristics of ASM\ADVM volumes, and tunes it's IO to make best use of those characteristics. 
    Q5 - several ways:
    1) Connect to ASM with SQL, use 'alter diskgroup add volume' as Mihael points out.  This creates an ADVM volume.  Then, format the volume using 'mkfs' (*nix) or acfsformat (windows).
    2) Use ASMCA - A gui to create a volume and format a file system.  Probably the easiest if your head is exploding.
    3) Use 'asmcmd' to create a volume, and 'mkfs' to format the ACFS file system.
    Here is information on ASMCA, with examples:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17612/asmca_acfs.htm#OSTMG94348

  • I set my time capsule "Share disks over the internet using Bonjour"

    how do I view my files? Is there something I need to download to do so? I use Mac OS X 10.5.8

    I don't know exactly how, but I got it working. I will try to explain, what I did.
    1. I used the easybox as DHCP-Server an set the TC to Bridge Mode.
    2. Then I gave the TC a fixed IP in the easbybox menu by using it's MAC-address (It seems that the address range has to be either 192.168.X.Y or 10.0.X.Y to make the TC accessable later).
    3. I made the TC a DHCP-Server (DHCP only, not also NAT). The IP addess range of the TC starts after it's own IP adress (10.0.0.111) and ends at (10.0.0.250). The IP range of the easybox starts with 10.0.0.1 (it's own) and end with the TC's (10.0.0.111).
    4. Then the Airport Utility told me that if I want to share an DHCP range the TC has to be set to a fixed IP setting, which I set up, leaving the IP-address 10.0.0.111 and the Router IP 10.0.0.1 (the easyboxs').
    5. Then it worked in my case. Since I don't even know what I did, I'm not shure if it workes under other circumstances.
    There are of course many variables. Such as the type of the router and the TC or the kind of the internet connection.

  • Difference between OSM-2+4GE-WAN+ and 7600-SIP-400

    hy guys,
    If I want to use one of them as uplink, which are better ?

    Depending on your current and future requirements the decision for SIP-400 or OSM-GEWAN needs to be taken.
    As they both are different product sets meant to cater to different set of business requirements.
    SIP-400
    a) Provides you with capability to aggregate different flavours of
    OC12,OC48 and other WAN and GE Interfaces as well as use them for uplink,
    b) Supports VPLS
    c) Supports MQC with conventional QOS.
    d) Supports ATM Cell Relay.
    e) Occupies 1 slot space
    OSM-GEWAN.
    a) Provides only Gigabit aggregation and uplink.
    b) Supports VPLS.
    c) Doesnt support ATM Cell Relay.
    d) Supports MQC and conventional QOS.
    e) Occupies 1 slot space,
    Above are some difference in summary.
    But if you requirement is to have only Gig aggregation and Gig uplinks then OSM
    by far is a good choice. But if you have your aggregation done, and are looking for WAN aggregation with Enchanced features like conventional QOS and VPLS, Cell Relay etc, with the option if choosing the media types for your aggregation, then SIP-400 is vis-a-vis a good choice.
    This comparision doesnt take into consideration the throughput performance of both categories vis-a-vis.
    HTH-Cheers,

  • Hyper-V: Why difference between "Free Disk Space" and "Inspect Disk" for a VM (Guest OS is Windows 2008, 2008 R2, 2010, 2010 R2)

    I am trying to figure out the "Free Disk Space" on a VM on Hyper-V host.
    When I see the available space inside the VM, shown by Microsoft OS, it is less than, what is reported by the ‘Inspect Disk’ utility of Hyper-V Manager.
    Why this difference?

    Hi,
    Is it the exactly 10% free space when the issue occurs? Please run a chkdsk in CMD on that partition and see the size of available space matches the 10% - I'm thinking if it is actually full when a part of disk space is not calculated.
    In my test I created a 9.87GB partition and keep copy a 1GB file on it. Now it only has about 130MB free space but I can still add txt file with small size onto it. So what's the exact message you got?
    If it is a warning (but users can still add files onto it), please see if this will help:

  • What is the difference between Logical Disk and Physical Disk?

    Hi.
    When I do Performance Monitor, I got Logical Disk Avg. Disk sec/Write counter and  Physical Disk Avg. Disk sec/Write counter.
    But I can see the different Avg. value and Max. value. 
    Even if Logical and Physical Disk are one-to-one mapping.
    Why did i get the result?
    One the other hands, I got a same result that Logical Disk Avg. Disk sec/Read counter and  Physical Disk Avg. Disk sec/Read counter's Avg. value and Max. value.

    Physical Disk refers to an actual physical HDD (or array in a hardware RAID setup), whereas Logical Disk refers to a Volume that has been created on that disk.
    So if you have one disk with one volume created on it then the values are likely to be 1 to 1, but if you have multiple volumes on the disk, for instance a physical disk with C:\ and D:\ volumes running on it, then the logical disks relate to c:\ and d:\
    rather than the disk they're running on.

  • Big differences between PAYG and PM charges to call abroad using add-on?

    For PAYG customers, it seems that the charges to call EU numbers are much lower than for Pay Monthly custiomers. For example, the per minute charge to call a landline in France is 2p or a mobile is 5p on PAYG. On PM it's 5p (landline)  or 15p (mobile). Likewise texts are 10p vs 18p I would have thought that if there were any differences, PM would be cheaper. Or have I missed something? See PLAN PRICE GUIDES - non-standard charges for PAYG and PM

    Hi 
    The charges vary depending on whether you are on EE, T-Mobile or Orange.
    It also depends on your plan, tariff or pack.

  • Share disks over WAN setup AEBS 802.11ac

    I am trying to share a usb HDD over my home network that I can access outside of my network. I have read some answers in these communities and followed their instructions, but no resolution.

    This is the main router. I have forwarded 548. I am trying to use the public Ip from ISP. I have am connecting from a windows machine. Can I still connect through icoud?
    Ok, there are several things wrong here.
    1. If the AE is the main router you do not port forward.. you simply tick that hard disk will have wan access.
    In the airport utility you tick, share disk over WAN.
    Now I don't have the new AC model but I expect it will be the same.
    2. The public IP from the ISP is generally dynamic and keeps changing.. unless you pay for a static IP. It is hard to get dyndns working for the AE.. I used to think impossible but Tesserax has been able to do it.
    3. Windows cannot access the AE using AFP protocol.. when you tick the share disk with wan.. only AFP protocol is exposed.. because it is reasonably secure.. SMB (windows) protocol is not shared with WAN ever.. it is only shared in LAN.. and most ISP block the ports due to the internet containing several zillion windows computers with sharing turned on and no security.. The entire internet would collapse if they allowed SMB.
    AFAIK there is no suitable AFP file access software for windows.. although you might have a solution to that.
    Port 548 mentioned is AFP.. not SMB.
    Only the Mac can access the AE hard disk.. so using BTMM makes good sense.
    4. The only way I would recommend you attempt remote access via windows is using a vpn router.. and put the AE into bridge mode and access directly via vpn to the whole network.. this is a professional solution and is the way any buisness would do it. It is secure and any computer or ipad or iphone with vpn client can access the network.

  • Share disks over wan

    Hi All
    I am having this problem with my TC (firmware 7.6.4):
    If I tick "Share disks over wan" I can not access the disk from outside my network
    If I untick it, then I can access the disk from remote.
    It is like it is inverted.
    Am I the only one?
    Thanks

    Using BTMM there is no need to tick share disk to WAN..
    The BTMM is a connection through the NAT to the local LAN of your network. When you tick the share disk to WAN it messes that up.. although I cannot remember that being the case.
    Maybe they fiddled around again in 7.6.4 and changed it.
    Anyway it is not really an issue.. just set to what works for you.
    As you can see the instructions for setting up BTMM do not say anything about sharing the disk over wan.

    How to set up your AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Time Capsule for Back to My Mac
    Make sure you are on the same local area network as the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Time Capsule that you wish to configure.
    For OS X: In the Finder, choose Utilities from the Go menu, then open AirPort Utility.  (You should be using AirPort Utility v6.3 or later).
    Select your AirPort base station.
    If the AirPort base station you wish to configure is not shown, click "Other AirPort base stations" and select the AirPort base station you wish to configure for use with Back to My Mac. This may require choosing a different Network Interface from the pop-up menu.
    Click Edit.
    Enter the base station password if prompted (not your iCloud password).
    Select the Base Station tab.
    Enter your iCloud user name and password in the Back to My Mac section. You should see a green status indicator.
    Click Update to save your changes.
    You use share a disk with WAN to directly access the TC via AFP. That is alternative method of access.
    See https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3413 for details of the different methods of access.

  • Share printers over WAN

    Hello,
    I'm in the process of testing the print sharing over WAN capabilities of my TC 1GB. I believe everything is setup properly, and using 'back to my mac' I can indeed see the TC while tethered to my iPhone... though I'm not sure if 'back to my mac' has anything to do with sharing printers over WAN.
    Overview:
    TC > Printers > Shared Name (printer is showing up nicely and can print via LAN without issue)
    TC > Printers > Share printers over WAN (checked)
    TC > Printers > Share printers over internet using Bonjour (checked) (this prompted me to create a dynamic global host name)
    TC > AirPort > Time Capsule > edit... > "Use dynamic global host name" (checked) (and all related info)
    *Network Setup:*
    Cable Modem > TC > wired and wireless clients
    When I use my iPhone tethered to my mac book pro, I do see the TC, but when I open the system preferences > printer & fax > I don't see any bonjour printers (should I be able to see it here?)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No one has any idea?
