DSC EPICS connection to remote network

I am using the DSC module from LabVIEW 8.6 and 2009. I am in California, and there is an EPICS server in New Mexico to which I want to connect. I can read and write using command-line EPICS so I know that there are no firewall or hardware connectivity issues. For those programs I put the IP address of the remote server in an environment variable (add it to EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST, and the EPICS programs then all know to look there for process variables. How do I do the same thing for LabVIEW? I have tried registering the remote computer in the Distributed System Manager, but that didn't work. The remote computer is not running LabVIEW, but that shouldn't really matter. I just need a way to tell LabVIEW to check a specific IP address, and the Channel Access protocol will take care of everything else.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have solved the problem in LabVIEW 2009. I added the IP address of the remote system to the SYSTEM (not USER) environment variable EPICS_CA_ADDR_LIST, then re-booted. After that I was able to access the PVs outside the local subnet. I had not done a reboot after modifying the environment variable before. In LabVIEW 8.6 the EPICS environment variables were ignored, but in LabVIEW 2009 they are all used, so this works in the new version.

T1 Router connection to remote network - Wireless Solution please?

Can someone please provide me with advice on how to setup a network across multiple buildings using wireless technology. We are a non-profit organization that deals with rehabilitating your most unwanted troubled teens. Our campus consists of multiple "cottages" and little office buildings. We have a T1 connection to the internet that is housed out our main office building. We would like to connect the training facility which is 100 ft away from the office building that houses our Cisco T1 Router without having to lay cable. The training facility is already network via a network hub. The main office building is also networked via a Cisco 24 port switch - is there a way we can connect the two networks without using cable? We were looking into the new 802.11a wireless technology to bridge the two networks together.
Please provide your comments and suggestions.
Thank you.

I have done what you wanted many times. I run connections all over town. My longest connection is soon to be from the top of the tallest building in town, 635 ft, to the top of a tower (300 ft) across town. This connection will be over 15 miles. I also provide the internet connection for the county. They have 2 radios to give them up to 20Mbits of bandwidth when they need to burst that high.
Anyway, what you want to do is simple. Use a BR-352 with 128 bit WEP. Although Cisco equipment is secure, the Bridge mode (versus the Access point mode) allows for one more level of security (the bridges run under a Cisco protocol and the hackers running around with Netstumbler typically do not have a $1500 bridge to do their war driving). If you want to ability to connect with laptops (while you roam in the general area) and desktops, you will need to put your bridge in access point mode (note that this is still secure).
Since your application is building to building, you will probably need 50-150 feet of cable (unless you put the radio in a weather protected box next to the antenna). You can kill your system if you do not do this right. You want your radio as close to the antenna as possible. You need to use LMR-400 for short runs or LMR-600 for longer runs (I use LMR-600 or large cable for all of my runs, and stopped using LMR-400 all together). The LMR-XXX waveguide has loss. You MUST MINIMIZE loss. You can add an amplifier if the situation dictates, but you must still minimize loss. You want to use directional antennas when possible. You want the highest gain antennas you can find (the more directional, the more gain i.e. a 6 degree beam width grid antenna has more gain then a 30 degree beam width yagi). I do not use Cisco antennas. The selection is not good.
Basic configuration:
Radio BR-352 Bridge (Always get and use 128 bit WEP encryption)
to
Adapter to jumper from Cisco RTNC (Reverse TNC) connector to a standard N-Type connector
To
Lightning arrestor
To
LMR-600 waveguide
To
Antenna
Add an amplifier if necessary
Special Tools and Parts:
LMR-600 crimping tool
LMR-600 N-male ends
Waterproofing (you get water in your cable and you might as well throw it away and it is tough to trouble shoot too)
Grounding Kit for LMR-600 (you ground your cable just before it enters the building
Cat-5e

Connect to 2 Networks?

How do I utilize my internal network (std 192.168.x.x config) with my corporate network (which uses a 172.16.x.x config)? Both are set up to use 255.255.255.0 subnet.
I configured the router with a subnet of 255.255.255.128 but I don't know what to do at that point. I show 2 network addresses and 2 subnets on IPCONFIG but I cannot reach anything on the local (.128) subnet. If I disconnect from the corporate (.0) network I can then reach the local internal network just fine.
I know someone can help me out there!
Thanks!
Brett

Hi… Do you have 2 different IP address for 2 different networks on same PC? Do you have 2 LAN cards on that PC?
I think you mean to say you have a local network which has 192.168.x.x and you are connecting to a remote network 172.16.x.x through PPTP (windows XP VPN) or RDP or VPN. Now since you get 2 IP addresses I think you are using PPTP connection to connect to remote network. If that’s correct, then in PPTP your pc can access the resource of your remote network but not of local and that’s why you receive that second IP address.
However this is my assumption, if I am mistaken please let me know your network setup, so that I would be able to provide with a correct solution.

You need to change the VPN pool ip subnet to something other than the same ip range used on the inside interface.

Allow VPN client to connect from the inside to another remote network

Hi, if I have a Cisco VPN client software on the inside of network and client is to connect to a remote network, over the internet. What ports need to be opened and on the outside interface/inside/both?
Thanks.

Basically, all you need is UDP port 500, NAT-T will do the rest.
Connections are initiated from the inside and while everything is allowed in that direction, this should work by default.
If you have an access-list that limits traffic from inside to outside, you might need to allow this traffic.
Regards,
Leo

Can I enable "Use default gateway on remote network" on VPN connection using Group Policy?

Hi,
First timer here so please bear with me!
Environment: Domain Windows 2003, Clients: Windows 7 and Windows XP (with Client Side Extensions pushed out)
When creating a VPN connection on a client machine manually with default settings the "Use default gateway on remote network" found in [Connection Properties - Networking - IPv4 - Advanced] is enabled, which is good as we don't allow split-tunneling.
I have a test GPO that creates a new VPN Connection [Computer Config - Preferences - Control Panel - Network Options], but the above setting is unticked.
Am I missing something on the options for the GP preference to set this automtically?
I can write a script to directly change the C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk file but would prefer if I could sort it all out using Group Policy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
David

Shane,
There is actually a way to set the "Use default gateway on remote network" through Group Policy Preferences. And this may even be a better way to do it, because you may change this flag without touching any other settings, or other VPN connections.
(All VPN connections are stored in the same .pbk file.)
Here's the trick: Opening the .pbk file in notepad, I realized that this is actually an oldstyle ini-structured file. And Group Policy Preferences can update ini files! In the .pbk file the section names are the VPN connections names, like [My VPN],
and the property IpPrioritizeRemote is the flag "Use default gateway on remote network".
So, in Group Policy Management Editor, go to Preferences / Windows Settings / Ini Files.
Create a new object with Action = Update, and File Path =
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Network\Connections\pbk\rasphone.pbk
(If this is where your file is located, I guess it is in c:\users if the VPN connection is made for a single user.)
Section Name should be the display name of your VPN connection, without the brackets.
Property Name = IpPrioritizeRemote
Property Value = 1
Peter, www.skov.com, Denmark
Peter :-)
This is great, but just one question. I also want to append a list of DNS Sufixes in order (when viewing a VPN properties, this is buried in
"Networking --> IPv4/6 --> Advanced --> DNS --> Append these DNS Suffixes (in order)". However, for the VPNs I have manually created with this list populated, I can't see any entries in the rasphone.pbk. Does anyone know
where these are stored?
Cheers.

VPN and Internet Connection Sharing? (bridging remote networks)

I'd like to try an experiment and some advice from this list will be useful.
+Summary: Can a Mac with two interfaces activate VPN and Internet sharing simultaneously to bridge two remote networks?+
I've created a PPTP VPN server on our XServe at work and opened the appropriate ports on our firewall. This and a second location are linked with standard (but fast) ADSL broadband. I can log in from both Mac and Windows VPN clients at an external location and indeed the experience is just like being at work- printers, file servers and other resources (eg networked Filemaker databases) are all visible. Yay.
Question: Is it possible to extend this concept further by logging onto our VPN with once interface (eg Airport) +and then+ enabling Internet Sharing through the second interface (eg Ethernet)? Will this allow a small network connected through the second interface to all behave as though they are on the work network, with transparent access to fileservers, printers and so on, without each bothering individually with VPNs and so on? I suspect there are physical boxes that will do this, but it would be wonderful to know if I can get a Mac with two NICs to do the same job, acting as a router between the two networks. Are there any limitations to this? I am happy to tweak under the hood if need be. I just need to know if this is possible, even in theory, and what the limitations might be.
Thanks.

Hey Nathan...
My VPN is down at the moment, but I think your going to have to manually configure all of the "clients" who are sharing the VPN to an IP range that your office uses. When you connect to your VPN, check your network prefs, and you'll see the IP addresses assigned to your VPN are similar to your network at the office. So, in a way, your sharing computer has 2 IP addresses... one from your modem or router at home, and one from the VPN server at the office. It's this 2nd IP address that allows you to appear to be on the network at the office.
So, if you can find a way to set up your shared clients the same way.... it might work. It will also be VERY helpful if your IP range at home is different from the IP range at the office....192.168... for one...and 10.0.0 for the other. (Whether traffic will pass thru your "sharing server" is a different matter altogether.)
Now, and I'm really guessing here.. if this works at all... you may be only able to access stuff from the office on your "shared clients" (ie no internet).... the way around that is to set up your VPN to allow VPN clients to pull stuff from the internet from the office thu the VPN... and for the life of me don't remember how that is done. But it will most likely be a bit slow.
I'd start with the basics... setup one client with a manual IP address/router/dns servers, and try to ping a computer at the office. If this works... at least part of your problem is solved.
With all that said... it may not work at all. Good Luck!

Connect to remote VPN from a network with its own VPN

I have a Mac OS X Server v10.6 running L2TP behind a D-Link DIR-625 router.
I have client with a similar setup - Mac OS X Server v10.7 running L2TP behind a Time Capsule.
I want to be able to connect to my client's VPN from inside my network, but I get an error, "The L2TP-VPN server did not respond..."
When I disable the virutal server entries on my D-Link for VPN IKE (UDP Port 500) and VPN ESP (Protocol 50), I am able to connect to the remote VPN, but then obviously nobody can connect to my VPN.
Is this normal? Is it not possible to connect to remote VPNs if you are on a network that has a VPN server running behind a router?

You can still use SSH to connect from a UNIX platform to your DB Server (the same way you do in your desktop).
There's a few tutorials in making an active SSH tunnel for database activities, however, I think this kind of solution requieres more administration effort and in some environments could be cumbersome; if security is a concern, you can purchase ASO from Oracle, it handles the network encryption for you.
Regards!
P.D. If you use PuTTy on your desktop, you could try the -L parameter for the ssh command.

Setting up remote network connection with wrt1900ac nubby question

Hi everyone, I am looking to set up remote network connection = been able to be on my network from public place. I have never done it before and i just purchased wrt1900ac and i was wondering if someone can point me to a step by step guidance how to do so. I also obtain static IP address from my internet provider. thank you in advance. I will be connecting with notebook with windows 7 on it

Typically to access LAN devices directly on a remote network you would VPN into the remote network. Either using Port Forwarding and a VPN Server or using a VPN feature built into the router.
This is assuming you don't plan to use something like Logmein or Gotomypc.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

How do I connect Keynote Remote via Blue Tooth NOT a WiFi network

Being a novice, at best, "What are the "steps" to connect Keynote Remote, via BlueTooth MacBook Pro and I-Pad

Thank you for the reply.
ctrl B makes the top bar (File. Edit. View. Controls. Store. Help.) appear and disappear.
ctrl S makes a side bar appear on the left side of iTunes. It shows the library which has Music. Movies. TV Shows. Apps. Playlists. Ect.
When I did the steps you suggested, my iPhone did not show up in that list.
I checked my firewall settings again, and they seem to be okay. My firewall is the only thing that I am not 100% sure of. If I go to Control Pannel>System and Security>Windows Firewall>Allow an app through Windows Firewall. It shows that iTunes is allowed. I'm not sure if something else might need to be allowed as well though. I have a few Remote options that are not allowed such as, Remote Event Log Management, Remote Scheduled Tasks Management, Remote Shutdown, Remote Volume Management, and Routing and Remote Access. I'm not sure if any of these need to be allowed or not, or if they are even affiliated with iTunes.

My Apple TV (1st Gen) has recently lost the ability to connect to either of our wireless networks at home. I rean the diagnostics at the reset screen and the Apple TV says it is performing normally. In the settings, whenever I attempt to connect to a wireless network, I am now only offered "Other..." as a choice. Proceeding to the next screen, I enter the name of the network closest to the Apple TV -- an Airport Extreme set up for 5 GHz that this Apple TV connected with daily up until 2 days ago. The Airport base station is perfoming normally, as my MacBook Pro can see it and establish a network connection without any difficulty. The issue is limited to the Apple TV. I did a Factory Restore, and now when I go to Wireless Network > "Other..." > Enter the name of the wireless network" the resuit is always the same, and error message stating: "There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again. (-4)".
This message comes up almost immediately, without requesting a WiFi password -- suggesting to me that this Apple TV has lost the ability to connect to ANY wireless network due to a hardware failure.
Q: Has anyone else in the Support Community had a similar experience with their 1st Gen Apple TV, and if so, did you find a solution to it?
Note: When I first noticed the connction to this Apple TV had gone stale (greyed out in the iTunes Airplay Speakers list), and prior to doing the Factory Restore, I could play back iTunes content stored on the hard drive, but could not connect to the local wireless networks. I noticed that the Apple TV was running very hot -- it has alwasy run pretty hot to the touch.
If this Apple TV has died, I will get a 3rd Gen Apple TV, but wiill then have to work through the HDMI to Composite video + Audio issues, as this Apple TV is connected to our older (non-HDMI) TV.

Follow-up: Able to connect with ethernet cable, downloaded software updates, connected to iTunes, and synchec content.
Next, disconnected the ethernet cable. ATV1 froze and was restarted using the Menu + ( - ) combo on the remote. Re-ran diagnostics yeilds: Apple TV is working fine.
Restarted, then went to configure the Wirelss settings. Apple TV once again does not show either of the two wireless networks. Selecting "Other..." and entering the SSID yields the same immediate response:
"There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again. (-4)"
No change on the wireless front :-( Bummer.
Looks like an ethernet connection is the only option left to continue using this Apple TV 1st Gen.
Thanks for your help. -- Paul

HT201250 Hello i am using TimeMachine to back-up entire Mac image (data + system) on an usb-local drive. I would like (on top of it) add a specific plan to back up some files on a remote network drive. Does TimeMachine support multiple back-up plans ? How

Hello i am using TimeMachine to back-up entire Mac image (data + system) on an usb-local drive. I would like (on top of it) add a specific plan to back up some files on a remote network drive. Does TimeMachine support multiple back-up plans ? How ?

Time Machine is capable of backing up to multiple locations, and can be used to back up to both a local hard drive and a networked drive (provided that that drive is in or connected to a Time Capsule or another Mac that is sharing it over the network). The catch, though, is that you can't specify different things to back up to different destinations. Whatever you exclude from Time Machine backups is excluded from ALL backups, and whatever is included is included on all.
So, get a large enough drive that you can back up everything you want in all locations, or use something else for maintaining the network backup.

Cisco VPN client can't ping remote network.

I have recently installed a Cisco 5505 and have problems with some of the Cisco VPN Hosts I connect to using the Cisco VPN dialer. The Cisco Dialer connects fine but I am unable to connect to any computers on the remote network.
I have tracked the issue down to the ones that work & the ones that don't. If the remote Cisco is on the same sub-net as the computers I am connecting to it works fine. If the remote Cisco is on a differant sub-net then the computer I am trying to connect to it won't work unless I set up a static nat for a given pc on my network.
When I run through the dynamic Nat for my network I get the following error on the 5505.
regular translation creation failed for protocol 50 src inside:192.168.97.215 dst outside:xx.xxx.xx.xxx
I have been trying to find a solution to this issue ever since I installed the router and have not had any luck with any of the suggestions I have found on the Web. I have attached my config.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mike

Thanks for your response.
Yes that exactly the setup we are trying to get to work.
I have a call into them now and will check on their set up but I have no control over how they configure their routers I can only make requests.
I was hoping there was something causing it on my side as I deal with Hospitals and they can get very picky about their security.
I guess what is confusing me is it works if it goes through a Static Nat but not if it runs through our dynamic Nat.
