Something you should be aware of is the frequency of IP address change at your father's location. Providers of residential broadband services lease an IP address for a certain duration which you have no control over and is purely arbitrary. You may be familiar with these changes?
The point is sometimes these addresses change regularly (4 hours to every few days) and sometimes they stay the same for a longer period of time such as a year or more.
Because of the nature of this change you may find you can remote assist your father one day but not the next. The situation is easily rectified with a simple phonecall to your father. He can tell you what IP address he's using by launching his browser and clicking this link:
http://myipaddress.com
He gives you his new IP address and you should be able to make a successful connection again.
Be aware IP addresses handed out by ISPs are known as routable. IP addresses handed out by Firewalls/Routers/Gateway devices such as Apple's Airport Express Base Station etc are not routable. Assuming you've not changed anything in the devices they will always be one of these three ranges: 192.168.1.x; 10.x.x.x and 172.16.16.x. You don't use any of these last three group of addresses to make the connection over the public external (internet) network but you do use them when on the same private internal network.

Remotely accessing a CCTV system - questions :)

Hi
I want to remotely access my CCTV system that's set up using multiple cameras and a DVR.
The DVR has an ethernet port to connect to a router.
The problem I think I have is that I can only get a 3G service where I am and therefore I use a 3G router with embedded sim card, and then connect an Airport Extreme to the router, and extend the 'Airport Network' with further Airport Extremes and Airport Expresses.
Standard 3G SIM service providers do not offer a fixed IP address. This isn't a problem for normal internet activity but I think it is when trying to remotely access the DVR.
So someone suggested using a DDNS or noip.com service, however I'm told that 3G providers prevent the SIM cards from being able to use these services, something to do with NAT?
So my question is, is there anything at all that I can do using my current setup? Or is my only option to run a separate 3G router with a fixed IP sim card (you can get them but they are considerably more expensive) dedicated to the DVR? Would Back to My Mac provide a possible solution?
Other than what I've mentioned I have no other real knowledge of networking etc, so please explain any answers simply!
Thanks

I don't think I can use dyn.com or noip.com as I've been told that the SIM providers don't allow you to port forward on a router.
I don't really know how Back to My Mac works but I wondered if I have the DVR connected to one of my AirPort Extreme Routers could I access that router (and the DVR) using B2MM?
I also want to be able to access the DVR and settings when I'm in the house using my laptop. Can someone offer any advice on how to do this?
Much appreciated

How do you disable remote access for mac routers

Set up Remote Access for Mac Mini

I recently bought a Mac Mini and set it up at home. It is running on Mac OS X 10.8.3, and runs on Server 2.2.1 and Airport Utilities 6.2. I would like to be able to access the Mac Mini server from outside my home. Does anyone know the procedure of setting up remote access (through SSH or VPN) without creating an internet domain name? Thanks!
I'm quite new to many of the Apple products, so it would be good if the answers are clearer and more detailed. Thanks!

As Barney-15E says, Back-to-My-Mac is the best option.
After that, try TeamViewer.com
ssh can be done, but there are setup details with respect to your home router to allow port 22 from the Internet side to your Mac mini <http://portforward.com>. And then you will need a dynamic DNS name from someone like No-IP.com or DynDNS.org so you can find your home router. Once you have that setup, you should make sure you use a good strong password, as you have now exposed a known port to the internet <http://xkcd.com/936/> and <https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm>. Don't forget to enable System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login. So now you can ssh, but what do you want to do with that? You can create ssh tunnels for VNC screen sharing and AFP file sharing.
ssh -L 22590:localhost:5900 -L 22548:localhost:548 [email protected]
Now you have logged in and you have 2 tunnels. How to use them.
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> vnc://localhost:22590
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> afp://localhost:22548
Back-to-My-Mac and/or TeamViewer.com are easier

Setting up remote access for support

Need to set up remote support for my Dad's iMac. He has an airport express connected to an optonline cable modem. I have an airport connected to a charter cable modem.
Both systems are running Mavericks. I have the latest remote access app.
I tried this a year ago and could connect to him when I was on his local network but not when I was at home. Since then everything has been updated. I will be visiting him in a few week and could do any set up on his system.
I read the admin guide but it's still to confusing to me. I am able to set up and connect to computers on my local network ok.
Will ARA be able to do this? Do I need any further software? logmeon, etc?
Any tips on creating a client installer to use when I am there? I will be using his user account.
Do any changes need to be made to the routers to get through them?
Could use some help here. Thanks

Airport Extreme & Remote Access for database application

Hi There,
I have spent an entire week of my time between apple, apple consultants and networking experts trying to get a access remotely to a simple database program inside an wireless network. I have read the discussions on remote access thru the AEBS and port mapping.
I'm hoping an user here can help me with a foolproof solution that the 'apple experts' can seem to design?
All that is required to get this program up and running remotely is the ip address of my computer inside my wireless network. I have set that this computer to a static address but since my dsl provider uses dynamic IP's this doesn't seem to work (or it does for about 12 hours until the IP address of my AEBS is changed). Will port mapping work for me or is my only solution an up-charged static IP?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions......the thought of spending another week on this is frightening!

If your ISP is refreshing the dynamic host configuration of the public ip address assigned to the ISP provided router you will need to request a static ip address from your service provider.
The addresses that are used "inside of your network" are private ip addresses. If you are using the (1) public address for your router (APE)(Apple airport extreme) from the ISP what you are trying to do will not work very well since your router (APE) will use the Public IP address to provide access to the public internet for your private network using the private ip addresses you have used to create your subnet and told your router (APE) about. Three private IP address schemes can be used for a private internet. One for each class. Class A 10.x.x.x/8, Class B 172.16.0.0/12 and Class C 192.168.0.0/24. Translated using dynamic NAT (network address translation with overload) making your LAN hosts using private IP addresses to seem as if they are using a public ip address allowing access to the public internet where only public ip addresses can be used.
PAT (port address translation) is what you are trying to accomplish. For PAT you must have a valid public ip address from your ISP and a private address from your network assigned to interesting host. Use the private ip assigned to the interesting host in the port mapping panel of airport admin that you wish to allow access to via the global internet as well as the tcp or udp port number for the traffic to be directed. For example port 5003 for FileMakerPro or port 20 and 21 for ftp. You should also implement security policies to protect your network and hosts.
Since you said that it works for 12 hours you must have the basics set up correctly. All you need now is to get a static ip address assigned to you from your ISP or use a service such as http://www.dyndns.com/
Hope I didn't ramble on too much

Remote access for Windows Server 2012

Hello there,
I have a dedicated Windows Server 2012 server, and I need remote access from a PC from a Mac OS X simultaneously.
Today, I use Remote Desktop Connection on the Mac and TeamViewer on your PC.
The problem is that the PC loses connection when Remote Desktop Connection is closed!
What is the solution for either the PC or the Mac or the two at the same time to access the server desktop?
Is there a setting that allows TeamViewer this?
Should I use or purchase additional software? if so, which one?
In short, what is the best solution to this problem?
Thank you!

We use RDP through VPN, so there is no forwarding ports, it is as if we are on the same network. This way, you do not have to worry about hackers, as you are in a secure VPN.
Are you doing this from a different office, from home, from a computer in the next room on the same network? What level of remote access are you looking at?
RealVNC is a good solution, but again, if you are outside the network, you will either need to go through a VPN to keep it secure, or open ports on the firewall. RDP will give you the ability to have two concurrent users (although with different usernames)
logged on at once. The limitation of only one user is a session limit on the computer itself, if one person is logged in as administrator, if someone else tries to RDP and log in as administrator, they will take over the session. This is
the same with other solutions. RealVNC is using a console session, so if another person uses VNC, they will see the already open console session, and possibly take over the others VNC session.

Airport Extreme blocking remote access for my NAS?

Having spent over 2 hours on the phone to both LG and Apple Care I still can't get my remote access working for my NAS. I don't know much about networks, but I am slowly having to learn! Apple care seem to think that the AEBS might not be compatible?? I've tried lots of forums, lots of google self help and exhausted the customer service options - you're probably thinking I should give up. Well this is my last chance saloon - any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is my set up:
NAS: LG N2R1DD2 2 Bay DVD Network Attached Storage 2 TB
AEBS: MB763LL/A (A1301)
ISP: Virgin cable
Everything else on the NAS works a treat, it's just the remote access that is the problem. LG spent a long time on the phone looking into this and said that it is the router. I've checked with Virgin and they confirm they do not block any ports, so am pretty sure issue is with router. I've set up the NAS correctly to enable DDNS and UPnP, which it reports as successful and working correctly. I've enabled NAT port forwarding on the router, and tried to manually open up port 80.
Any thoughts would be most welcome.
Thanks.

I am not sure but I think you skipped a step. Look around for the use of consolidate library function.
I did the same thing and after I pointed to the right drive on the Airport Disk It worked flawlessly allowing me to stream to my powerbook from all over the house.
Unfortunately, once I went to bed and laptop and MyBook Pro went to sleep, I started havong problems.
Looks like this function of Airport n is still very Alpha.
Hope that helps

Using XP Pro's Remote Desktop for multiple systems behind my Linksys WRT54G

I would like to be able to use Windows XP Pro's "Remote Desktop" application to access more than one system behind my WRT54G router.
I understand that I need to use Port Forwarding on the router to do this, but how can I set it up to enable access to any of the 4 systems that are behind it?
Thx in advance

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
look for the entry "PortNumber", this will be a hexidecimal entry, so you will have to click decimal when you edit it, save to the new RDP connection port you want, say 3390 for machine 2, 3391 for machine 3, and so on, and reboot for it to take effect.
Then to connect to it from the RDP client (once you make the forwarding entries in your router of course), it's just whateverIP-DNSname: port in the connection window.Message Edited by Wayne613 on 02-23-200708:06 PM

Remote Keys for Multiple Systems

I am working on an SRM project where we have internal catalogs items (from ECC) and external catalog items (from Excel files) going into an MDM Catalog repository. For both, we use a lookup table for the Supplier number to cross-ref to a supplier name.
We have a Supplier List message that runs from ECC to MDMCAT to populate this table. In doing so, it creates a key mapping for the ECC remote system...which gets used for cross-referencing supplier names when catalog items load.
The issue...we do not have such a Supplier List from the external catalog "remote system", so when external catalog items get loaded there is no supplier number/name cross-ref happening. I can manually create key mappings for the external remote system, but I want to automate it.
I am thinking about having our PI middleware make a copy of the ECC Supplier Lists and send them to a new port set up as the external remote system...thinking that this would generated extenal system keys...hopefully without duplicating supplier lookup records. Before proceeding, I wanted to throw this out to see if there is a better solution.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith,
some remarks:
if you send data from ECC to MDMCAT, the catalog items contain the supplier keys of the ECC system. That's why the import works automatically. If you want to reuse the ECC supplier keys, the first question to answer is: does your external system use exactly the SAME keys as ECC? Only if this is the case, duplicating the ECC supplier message works for you. Otherwise you'd create keys for your external system that are never sent by the external system.
If the external system uses the same keys as ECC, the next question is how often do you update the supplier list in MDM? Regularly? Only once? If regularly your option with PI is a good idea. This won't duplicate supplier records as Import Manager (or MDIS) is able to identify already existing suppliers and updates the remote keys only (anyways you should check the related import map!). If it's a one time action only, you can re-open the same file multiple times for different remote systems with Import Manager. Then you wouldn't have to configure an additional connection from PI to MDM.
Best regards
Michael

Remote access for math Academic?

I'm a PC user definitely looking to switch to a Mac and know very little about them. I'm in Academia (in math), so I definitely need to work remotely.
1) What software do I need to install in order to be able to pop-up GUI and graphics from my MAC while connected (via ssh) to my unix server? The programs I use on the unix servers are: matlab, xdvi, xemacs, gv, xv, etc.
2) What is the best LaTex program on a Mac? Also, are there equivalents to the usual unix programs (xemacs, xdvi, gv, xv) on a Mac (do I have to purchase/download these)?
3) What's the best file transfer program (ftp) between servers and my Mac (via ssh)?
Thanks ahead of time -- sorry for the barrage of questions.

As for your second question, it's bash and the rest of typical unix under the hood. Invoke Terminal.app, and down the rabbit hole you go.
You can acquire and load the full LaTex toolchain, as well as the other tools you've referenced.
Some URLs, based on a quick look for a few of the packages mentioned:
http://homepage.mac.com/eric.lee/xv/
http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/
http://latex.yauh.de/index_en.html
sftp and ftp are integrated into Mac OS X. The Apache web server is built in. NFS is built in. As for accessing a server, fire up Finder, open Help, and enter nfs or smb in the search box for information on using these protocols (NFS, SMB/CIFS) to connect to a remote server, or AFS if that's available on the server; on a Mac OS X Server box, or another Mac client. Finder can connect to all sorts of stuff.

Remote access for images

Hi
I'm investigating the possibility of working remotely from a mac to another mac to process digital images using Photoshop. They would be pretty hefty files (50-60MB tiffs) and maintaining the colour integrity would also be necessary.
What options are available for macs? Is there something simple that only transfers screendumps & keyboard/mouse changes (negating the problems of working with such large files), or am I being overly optimistic?
Thanks a lot for your help

G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

so you want to access another Mac setup on a network far away and process digital images remote from another location?
sounds like what I did for 6 months on my advertising internship this past summer. In Michigan, at my job I had a Dual G4 MDD setup over a T1 and used *Timbukto Pro* to control a different PowerMac G5 computer in New York City at a professional Photo studio. The Art Director would fax me sheets of File names and what images were needed for the latest ad. I'd log onto Timbukto Pro, access the G5 in NYC and find the massive digital image files, process them with an App on that G5 Mac called *Capture One* once the Batch of RAW hires tiff files (20MB to 90MB depending on whether they were shooting people models or product models) were converted according to preset Image Stds, they were FTP'd using Interarchy to a local Image server at my companies location in Michigan, where I would then perform final editing, touch up, and layout in Photoshop and Quark Xpress. Then save locally. Low Res copies were used for Proofs which were then saved in PDF form, and FTP'd back to NYC so the Art Director there could see what the Art Director/Production Manager/Graphic Artists/ were working with. And if an Image wasn't right, they bugged me the Image Coordinator, who went back on *Timbukto Pro* and found new images from the shots the Pro Photographers kept on their G5 Mac.
that was basically 30% of my job of what I did every single work day.

Do you have to be logged into test agent via remote desktop for tests to run

Hi
I have some coded UI tests now working and they successfully run in my test agent. However they don't run if you don't have remote desktop open and you are not logged into the test agent itself with the desktop active.
Error was:
Automation engine is unable to playback the test because it is not able to interact with the desktop. This could happen if the computer running the test is locked or it’s remote session window is minimized.
Any ideas how to get round this?
Kind regards
Rob

Hi Rob,
>>Automation engine is unable to playback the test because it is not able to interact with the desktop. This could happen if the computer running the test is locked or it’s remote session window is minimized.
This is by Design as for Playback an Active session is needed as in coded UI tests we do actual Mouse and Keyboard actions.
Like Vishnu's suggestion in this blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vishnus_blog/archive/2013/05/05/coded-ui-test-not-able-to-interact-with-the-desktop.aspx
For the UI tests, the active desktop session has to be opened. We have faced this issue and we have couple of solutions
1. Open a Hyper-V session onto the machine where the UI Tests are running. You can minimize the hyper-V window and the tests will still run fine.
2. If you are running tests in a Lab Environment created from Microsoft Test Manager, Run the tests and open LEViewer[Lab Environment Viewer] to keep the desktop session active.
3. Enable AutoLogon on the machine where the tests are running and restart the machine. Then you don't need to do remote desktop -

Remote Access for CCTV cameras

HI
My questions pertains to remote viewing of security cameras at my business from my home computer. I have a networkable DVR and would like to know the steps to follow to set this up. Can any one assist with the installation steps I need to take. I realize I will need to have my internet provider provide me with a static IP address which talks to the router, but after that I don't clear on the process.

Hi… I hope that all the cameras are properly install and working. Now you should configure the cameras with different ports no (e.g. Linksys camera would have 1024 port by default). After you set up these unique ports for each camera, you can access the cameras by your public IP address (e.g. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxort).
