File Sharing over IPsec with RV220W

Hello all,
Ultimately, the issue is that I have two RV220Ws with an IPsec VPN tunnel between them that appears to be up but that I can't seem to get folder sharing going over. Here's the background.
I originally had two Netgear FVS318s set up with a VPN tunnel and everything worked as expected. I could connect to the server at the office from a machine at home and browse the files and more importantly do nightly backups of files that had changed at the office over the VPN to the house. The problem with the FVS318s was that for wireless I had to have another device and that the WAN to LAN throughput was something like 7Mbps. Kind of limiting when you consistently get 22Mbps from the ISP.
So, I bought two Cisco RV220Ws to replace them with. I started by replacing the one at home and was able to get it going with the FVS318 at the office. The VPN was stable and I had no problem browsing the files on the server as I had already been doing. A couple weeks later I replaced the FVS318 at the office with the other RV220W and the VPN came up fine but I lost all ability to file share between the two sites. I've watched the phase 1 and 2 negotiations and they look good from both ends. Looking at the IPsec Connection Status shows IPsec SA Established. I know that the tunnel is there because I can ping various machines at the other site from either end. I've tried just about everything I can think of but I just can not get file sharing going. The other issue is that while I can ping each of the RV220Ws from either end, when I try to hit the distant end's management console through a web browser, I get the initial SSL certificate warning that I click proceed on and then it just sits there spinning trying to load the management console on the distant RV220W. With the FVS318s I could hit the distant end management consoles via browser. So, here's more detail.
Site: Home
Subnet: 192.168.1.x
Comcast Business Class Internet with a static IP
Site: Office
Subnet: 10.2.10.x
Comcast Business Class Internet with a static IP
I know the difference between my static (inbound IP) and my gateway (outbound IP)
I tried creating firewall access rules by defining services as follows:
FS-TCP: 135 - 139 TCP
FS-UDP: 135 - 139 UDP
SMB-TCP: 445 TCP
SMB-UDP: 445 UDP
Then the firewall access rules as follows (I'll just give a couple examples so you'll get the gist)
Connection type: Inbound (WAN(Internet) > LAN (local network))
Action: Always allow
Service: SMB-TCP
Source IP: Single IP
Start: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is the gateway IP of the distant end at home)
Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): 10.2.10.x (the static IP of the server)
When that wasn't working, I created another set of rules for the internal IPs of the distant end as follows:
Connection type: Inbound (WAN(Internet) > LAN (local network))
Action: Always allow
Service: SMB-TCP
Source IP: Address Range
Start: 192.168.1.1
Finish: 192.168.1.254
Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): 10.2.10.x (the static IP of the server)
I also enabled Remote Management of the RV220W as:
Access Type: Single IP address
IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (gateway IP of the distant end at home)
Port 443
When that didn't work, I created two additional firewall rules for port 443 for the home gateway IP and the internal 192.168.1.x IPs. Still no go.
So this is where I'm stuck. In the FVS318s I did not have to create any firewall rules for the VPN traffic. I started off with no rules for the RV220W because I didn't expect it'd need them and then I began adding the firewall rules in order to troubleshoot. Here's the funny thing. If I drop the FVS318 back into place at the office site, it all works as expected.
So where do I go from here guys? About the only thing I haven't done is burn down the VPN tunnel in the RV220Ws and I haven't done that because I can ping hosts on either end and if I drop the FVS318 back into place it works fine. I'm totally stumped and would sincerely appreciate any assistance anyone could provide. If you need additional configuration information, I can provide that.
Thanks.

Thanks for answering, I was beginning to worry nobody had any idea how to help.
The IP subnets did not change on either end.
I am using the IP address to map. Critical machines are either static IP or reserved in DHCP and are all in the IP range of the VPN Policy.
I can ping distant end machines in both directions by IP through the tunnel but I can not ping by hostname. I do not have NETBIOS enabled on the VPN policy. I'm using OpenDNS on both sides, so when I try to ping the hostname of the server I get the opendns.com IP back because it couldn't resolve the IP of the hostname during the lookup.
Sorry for the delay in replying. Unfortunately, one end is at home, the other at my wife's business. During the day, I'm at work on the other side of town from both.

Hi iednolb
Like the original poster,T, I am having very similar problems, so have been following your advice with interest, but no success.
My details as follows : Vista, 32bit, IE 8 My only AV is Kaspersky using their firewall not Windows,
Flash was working fine, then some malware was discovered and subsequently deleted since then Flash has not worked in You Tube for example.
Like T said in his original post the exact applies regards the Shockwave Flash Object not being listed in my Internet add ons.
My files listed under Flash differ though :
Flash101ocx
FlashInstall
FlashUti101_ActiveX.dll
FlashUti101_ActiveX (note no .dll ) I assume the uninstaller and no install mentioned
As I said I have tried most of the suggestions to the letter made here and on other forums but no joy.
Appreciate any further advice, especially on the missing install entry and the add ons section.
Thanks.

File Sharing over web interface?

I am trying to figure out a solution.
We are an advertising agency that we need to transfter files between our studio and clients (which are mostly PC based and cannot connect to conventional ftp server) so we are looking at creating something like dropbox.com.
I don't mind to work over afp, smb, ftp or WebDav, but I need an nice enough interface and it's got to support OS X server's user/ permission ACL.
I know for calendars, Mac OS X server has built an web interface out-of-the-box, but how about file sharing over web?
Anyone sharing any thoughts?

As I said in my original post, I'm not using Firewire Target Disk mode because it requires a full shutdown of one of the computer (usually my laptop) each time I want to access files from the other computer.
I don't know about you, but usually I've got several things going at the same time on my computers and I'd rather not have to fully shut down the MacBook Pro several times a day.
ps - directing me to a different solution doesn't explain why things aren't working properly in the first place, but thanks anyway

Apple File Sharing very slow with Mountain Lion

I've noticed since upgrading to 10.8 the transfer speeds over a LAN via AFP (File Sharing) are VERY slow.. in some instances. Based on the behaviour i'm guessing it has something to do with the amount of items.
for instance:
A folder that contains approx 122mb worth of 1500 small files takes me about 50 seconds to transfer while a long audio recording with a greater filesize of 125mb takes only 11 seconds.
using SCP from the command line the same 122mb folder took only 19 seconds while the audio took 10 seconds.
after performing the same operations on a computer running 10.6 I can deduce that the problem is on the receiving end. Audio file transfer times were the same, however the same folder of items took only 27 seconds when it was transferred to a computer running 10.6 regardless of which OS the computer sending the file was running.
apparently handling a greater number of files increases transfer time for both methods but AFP is painfully slow with 10.8 on the receiving end.
any thoughts or suggestions?
I've read a couple threads about people having trouble with Time Machine running slowly.. i wonder if this is related.

Same problem here. I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I only got 19 GB of space, but Time Machine wants 10 hours, whereas in OSX Lion a full backup would take just under an hour, and incremental updates were lightning fast.
I even sat it up to do it overnight, but on 8 hours it was only half way through only 10 GB. I can't live with that in the future.
Im trying to backup on a SD card which seems to work very good in Lion. Im on a 2012 Macbook Air using a SSD.
My bite of the apple has been somewhat sour. I tried reformatting the SD card, well knowing that I would lose old backups. But still the backup is extremely slow. Now I can't install Lion or Mountain Lion from scratch without having to wait 10 hours for TM backup or installing tons of applications and settings again. Bummer. I'm never going to early adobt a OSX upgrade again.

File sharing in Bridge with Keywords

We seem to be having trouble getting the Keywording to come up on the 2nd shared machine, listed out in their stair-stepped categories like we have put them into to begin with... The 2nd new imac only seems to give a list of keywords simply sorted in alphabetically order .
Help!

I have same problem too. At the first, even after JB, it's OK! once I install some ebook software.... problem happen, now even JB or not, and I already install uninstall itunes several times, reset ipad serveral times and upgrade to 3.22.......
Now the situation is only allow one software on file sharing content, it will show all the file in that software and can be add or delete. Once I add one more software even movie player, quickoffice or cloudreader..... all problem in the file sharing contents but cannot see the doc now and cannot add and delete......

ITunes app file sharing not working with iOS 7.1.1

After upgrading my iPad 2 to iOS 7.1.1, I can't use the app file sharing in the latest version of iTunes on Windows 7. I first noticed it with the Kindle Reader app but confirmed that it also isn't working with GoodReader, HDExplorer, and Notability. Any ideas?

It continues to be UNREAL how Apple will release iOS software without testing it. Yep. They BROKE WIFI SYNC. It no longer works on my iPhones or iPads either. UNREAL!!!!!!

File Sharing XP & Vista with WRT54G-RG Problem

I'm hoping a network ninja can help me out with this, because I can't figure it out.
I have a desktop running XP Home, with a wired connection to the WRT54G-RG Router.
I have a notebook running Vista that's wirelessly connected to said router.
I have a Rogers cable modem hooked up to the router for internet sharing.
I can surf the net fine from both machines. I cannot file share. On XP desktop, the Vista notebook does not show up in the networked computer map.
On the Vista notebook, I can see the desktop on the network, but if I click on it, I get:
Windows cannot access //basementpc. Error code: 0x80070035. The network path was not found.
Suspecting my new router, I hooked back up my old router, and everything works fine. So I hooked up the new router again, and continued to try to figure this out. I notice one thing strange.
If I run ipconfig on the desktop, it says that it's IP is 192.168.0.105. If I view the DHCP table on the router, it says the desktop IP is 192.168.0.106. I'm pretty sure these numbers should match, and I'm not sure why they don't. They match when I've got my old router hooked up.
I can view the shared folders of the desktop from the notebook if I open a browser and type in the IP of the desktop (using the IP number reported from ipconfig, not the IP number from the DHCP table).
I've done a few things to try to get things working:
Turned off all firewalls on both machines, including the router firewall.
I've done an ipconfig /flushdns on both machines
I've done an ipconfig /release on both machines
I've reset the router, turned off wireless security (for testing purposes)
The firmware on the router appears to be the latest v5.00.38.
How can I get file sharing to work properly? Not to mention printer sharing would be nice, but one step at a time!
Thanks,
Joe.

For Vista Computers follow this link
Note :- Make sure that workgroup on both the computers should be same

File Sharing works only with Firewall inactive

I used to share files with an Xp Pc with no problem on my wifi network. When I upgraded to SL even though I see the pc in finder and the file sharing option is active I can access to my pc only if i stop the firewall.
Bye

Are you behind a router with a good firewall? If yes, there is no reason to use the Sno firewall. I only use it when on a public network--where I won't be doing any file sharing anyway.

File Sharing Office Docs With Windows PCs

I just upgraded my work computer, 24" iMac (pre-aluminum), to Leopard. At first I was thrilled to see the new file-sharing options in Leopard, as my computer has many company files shared. Before I was using a program called "Sharepoints" to share the files. That program does not work on Leopard.
Unfortunately, shortly after setting up the shared directory, I began getting complaints that people could not access the files in the shared folder. Here's what was happening:
They can get into the directory, and even open up the files (in this case it is excel files).
They can edit them, but when they save them they get the following error:
"The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again."
But they cannot open it again.
When they try to open it again they get the following error: "Excel cannot access 'file.xls'. The document may be read-only or encrypted."
I can open and edit the document just fine on my iMac.
What I have noticed is that it appears to change some permissions of that file when they save it, but only on my username it now says "Custom" instead of "Read/Write". If I go to the parent folder, change the permissions back to what they were before, and apply changes to all enclosed items, they can open the file again and save it once (just like above).
What's the problem? We really need these files shared.

I just submitted an official bug report to Apple which I will reproduce below. I hope this helps someone somewhere.
Summary:
After upgrading (erase and install) my 24" non-aluminum iMac to Leopard, I am unable to share files with other people on the business network. The main culprit appears to be MS Office files.
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Choose the folder I want to share in System Preferences > Sharing > Folders.
2) Apply the appropriate permissions to the folder: (Me) -> Read & Write; owner -> Read & Write; staff -> Read & Write; everyone -> Read & Write;
3) Turn on SMB sharing and check the appropriate accounts.
4) Attempt to access an Excel file with Office from a networked Windows PC.
Expected Results:
Sharing should be normal. Other computers should be able to access, edit, and save all files as if the shared directory were on their own computer.
Actual Results:
5) File opens fine, edits normally, but upon save it issues this error:
(Office 2002): "The document was saved successfully, but Excel cannot re-open it because of a sharing violation. Please close the document and try to open it again."
(Office 2007): "Access denied. Contact your system administrator."
6) Document will not reopen again and if you try it gives following error:
(Office 2002): "Excel cannot access 'file.xls'. The document may be read-only or encrypted."
(Office 2007): "Access denied. Contact your system administrator."
Regression:
When examining the permissions on my computer after someone else has accessed and saved it (with Office 2002), my permissions are changed to this: (Me) -> "Custom". If I change the permissions back to normal, recursively, the entire process can be repeated.
If I create a rtf file and save it to the shared folder, it appears that it does not suffer from this problem. This leads me to think that perhaps it is an Office files only issue. Somehow Office is making changes to the permissions when it saves the file (in Office 2002), or does not understand the permissions (Office 2007). The problem exists with Excel, Word, and Powerpoint files.
Notes:
Related problem -- When I create an excel file from another Windows PC and put it in the shared directory on my Mac, I am unable to edit the file from my Mac. The permissions for the file are as follows: nobody -> Read & Write; staff -> Read only; everyone -> Read only.

HT2497 Is there some setting on the airport that stops me from file sharing over ethernet between my macs

I have a Mac Mini from 2013 with OSX10.7.5 and a MBP from 2009 with OSX 10.6.8.
Both are connected with ethernet cables to the Airport extreme (2012) and both have silesharing enabled through afp.
The mac are not showing up on either one of the computers.
Is there some setting on the Airport extreme that dissallowed me from file sharing between computers?
Uptil one week ago I used to connect with wifi on my MBP and before this I was able to see the MBP in the finder under shared computers. The only difference is that I now connect with only ethernet cables.
please help me. Thank you

The airport could not stop the connection..
In finder set it up manually.. so go.. connect to server.
And type in the address manually.
AFP://Computername
This should then ask for password if required and allow you to see shares.

File Sharing (Read & Write) with a Network User - "Network User" Not Listed

My boyfriend and I both have Macs, running 10.6.3. Both Macs are connected to the internet via Apple Wireless Express. I have a MacBook Pro, and my boyfriend has an iMac with a big fancy screen, so I like to use for my own work when I'm at home and he isn't - it's just easier and more comfortable to use than a laptop.
I would like to find a way to use his computer to access a shared folder on my laptop with read & write access (so that I can modify the files on my laptop while using his computer). I have gotten to the point where I have a folder on my laptop with the files I want shared with his computer, and can access this folder from his computer. However, doing it this way (accessing my files on my laptop from his computer) only allows read-only access. I would like to be able to edit the files that are on my laptop using his computer, so I think I would need read and write access.
It seems the easiest way to do this would be to add a user (the boyfriend) on my laptop and give him read/write access to this specific folder that is located on my laptop. I found instructions on how to do this, and it says that I need to add a "network user". These instructions seem to indicate that when I add a user, there should be options for accounts on my laptop, my personal address book, a new account on my laptop, and network users. I see the first 3 options...but no option to add a network user.
Why is that? How would I make it so that from my laptop, I can add a network user...specifically my boyfriend's computer, who also uses the same internet network that I use?
Thank you so much for any help!

Also found this behavior:
While logged into the Mac Pro as MPUser1, I connect to the MacBook Pro file sharing as MBPUser1.
Then I "disconnect".
Then I log out of the Mac Pro MPUser1, and login as MPUser2.
The connection to MBP as MBPUser1 is still active!
This means that MPUser2 can access whatever MBPUser1 can access WITHOUT knowing MBPUser1's login password !
This seems WRONG! Anybody else seen this?

Simple Remote File Sharing over airport

Hi,
I have two macs: 1) iMac and 2) MacBook Air.
I have airport turned on, remote file sharing turned on.
I have created a new network on my iMac, titled: Ben's iMac, with both computers joined to the network.
I can successfuly connect via SSH from my iMac to my MacBook, using the command supplied in System Preferences/Sharing/Remote Login:
ssh [email protected]
However, I cannot connect from my MacBook to my iMac, using the equivalent command:
ssh [email protected]
The error I get is:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
I have no idea how to proceed with this error message?

PC file sharing over Airport Extreme does not show up on Mac

I have two PCs and a new Macbook Pro with a new Airport Extreme (AE) base station. All 3 computers can access the Internet through the wireless AE. Hooray! But file sharing that is turned 'on' on the PCs does not show up on the Mac. For that matter, neither PC sees the other PC's shared files, either.
Now here's the really weird part... When I network through an Ethernet router/hub and don't use the AE, then all 3 computers see all the shared files and directories. I suppose I have something configured incorrectly on the AE network, but I haven't a clue what. Can you help?

Are mp3 files seekable over RTMP with FMS 3.5?

I had an OSMF sample running on my dev laptop with Wowza Media Server because it's OSX. I use the following line to setup an mp3 stream over RTMP: var audio:AudioElement = new AudioElement(new NetLoader(), new URLResource(new URL(selectedMediaSource)));
With Wowza, the audio is seekable, but when I change over to FMS, the file still plays but the mediaPlayer is no longer seekable so the scrub bar doesn't work. The code is based off of the ExamplePlayer sample that ships with OSMF and uses a mediaPlayerWrapper to manage visibility of the controls in the UI.
Do I need something on the server side to allow the seek function? Is this not possible over FMS? Or is there just a much better way to code this?
Thanks.

Actually, it looks like mediaPlayer.seekable == true, but the file won't seek. The easiest way to duplicate the problem is just to use the ExamplePlayer sample and modify the 'AllExamples.as' file. You can change the URL to point to any mp3 file in an FMS streaming directory for the "Streaming Audio" example.
It seems like the easiest fix is to convert the mp3 file to an flv and the seek function works again. I would rather not convert all of the mp3 files to flv, but at least it's functional. My guess is that FMS does not send the duration of the file for the mp3 format so the player can't seek.

ITunes sharing over powerline with Devolo Wireless plug

Hi everyone,
I am sharing my iTunes library over my home network. I can access it from any iPhone and computer in the house. HOWEVER, my network is extended by a pair of Devolo plugs, having one connected to the router and another being a Wireless plug.
When I try to access the shared iTunes library over the wireless connection on the Devolo plug I get nothing...
The plugs should only act as a bridge, nothing more.
Anyone with the same problem?
Any ideas?
KR,
Luis

Yepl same problem here, my Win 7 boc will not share itunes from my iMac. If i swap ther Devolos around sometimes it works briefly but disaappears again. If I hardwire cable it's fine, I'm guessing it;s protocol error somehere or blocked port
