"Firewall" and "Internet" buttons missing from "Sharing" preferences page

Hi,
I recently upgraded two servers to 10.4.3 (one was running 10.2 and one was running 10.3). On both servers now the Firewall and Internet tabs are missing from the Sharing preferences. Also, under the list of services on the Sharing prefs, there are only three services listed:
REmote Login, ARD, and Remote Apple Events. No other services are listed.
I found this problem because something in the firewalls changed and was blocking access to the servers via ARD. If I stop the firewall, then ARD works. So I wanted to go into the firewall settings and open up the ports required by ARD. Lo and behold, no Firewall tab on the Sharing page!
I've searched everywhere for info on what could make most of the services disappear, along with the Firewall and Internet tabs. But I can't find anything. Any ideas out there?

A call to Apple confirmed that the majority of services on 10.4 Server are now handled through Server Admin rather than through the Sharing preferences window.

    How can I import my saved bookmarks?

    You may need to look a bit higher to the Ubuntu menu bar.
    You can also try to disable the Ubuntu Firefox Modifications extension.

  • Error message about firewall and internet sharing

    hello all i have a question regarding the use of firewall and internet sharing.
    I have a PMG5 connected to internet through Airport. I've linked an Xbox 360 via the built-in ethernet port in order to access Xbox Live. I had to open specific UDP ports on the OS X firewall but it now works fine. However, in the Sharing Preference Pane, Internet Tab, i still get an error message saying that my Internet Sharing is disturbed by the settings of the firewall and sharing services, it says that i did not activate "personal web sharing" in the first two tabs...but i DID ! And there's no way to get rid of this error message.
    I know I know some may consider it's not a real problem because it's just an error message while the connection actually works fine but well, I tend to hate error messages when they're not supposed to show up. So if anyone know the answer, thanks in advance...
    Good day to everyone
    Vince, Paris...

    sorry about the delay in replying, was kinda busy
    well trashing the pref files was useless and i tried with another user, same thing. As for the second opinion, the problem was not about which port was used cause as i said the connection sharing works fine and anyway it was the correct port that was checked, it's just that i get an error message while there is no apparent error and everything works fine, i'm told that personal web sharing is not enabled but it is...
    Anyway as i said, it's probably not a real matter, as long as it works...which brings me to another thing. I've created a special protocol in the firewall to enable a proper dialog with the xbox. it's basically the same thing you do for ichat AV when you have video connection problems, you track down the concerned UDP port using terminal, you allow traffic and all... The protocol for the xbox worked great for some days, but now it seems it's not enough, the game set keeps trying on another port and i constantly have to update the protocol or deactivate the firewall...and enabling back all UDP traffic is not enough to solve it.
    In a way i think everything is linked, the initial error message when everything was fine and the current trouble. Any idea?
    thanks
    Vince

    i had the same fright
    The update takes a LONG time... but with the new system, you can keep using your phone during the update, so it doesnt FEEL like it is updating...
    you have probably interrupted the update, just like I did
    plug your phone in... "continue the update" or hit the sync button to psh it in... and leave it there
    unless you have enabled sync over wifi (which still only works when you are plugged in)
    just be patient... and there shouldbe a flashing "synching" symbol at the top of your phone screen

  • My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Photoshop Elements 10? What is going on?

    My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Elements 10. What is going on?

    Thank you for the advice. I have a PC and the catalogs were for the most part where you said they would be, on the C drive under Program Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. The last six months folder as well as a cruise I took in 2012 is missing but the rest seems to be there. Now I seem to have two Organizers-the one I just found and the one I created with my March 2013 trip pictures. How do I put them together and find them when I click on the Photoshop elements Organizer icon? You mentioned “pointing “ PSE to it in the default mode? How do I do that?

    I think there might be information there on how to reset Time Machine to do a full backup. I think you basically have to reset it and start over.

  • Help with Firewall and Internet Sharing

    I’m trying to use my Mac Mini with an Airport Extreme card, which is connected to the internet using Siemens Speedstream 4100 DSL modem, for Internet Sharing with a Windows (work) laptop.
    So, in the Sharing preferences panel:
    Share connection from: Built in Ethernet
    To computers using: Airport
    I get the warning message:
    Other settings may interfere with Internet Sharing.
    The ‘More Info’ button gives the popup message:
    Your firewall settings will prevent computers sharing your internet connection from browsing the web. Enable Personal Web Sharing in the Services pane to allow computers sharing your connection to browse the web.
    I do that, turn the Airport card on, and the laptop can see the network, but can’t connect.
    If I turn the Firewall off, then I can connect fine, but then I don’t have a Firewall. Isn’t that risky if I’m using DSL? How can I do the internet sharing and still protect my computer?
    I realize I could buy a router with a built-in firewall, but isn’t there a way to set up the system using what I have?

    We just need to figure out what port is needed. I'd goto Sharing>Firewall>New>Port Name... Other, and try Port 53 both UDP and TCP.
    Oh, and when you say the PC can't connect, could that just mean it can't browse?
    On the PC, put the IP of the Mac in DNS servers, or...
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.22
    Well, I'm unable to set the DNS server addresses, as this is a work computer and I don't have the administrative privileges.
    How bad is it to just turn the Firewall on the Mac off when I want to use the connection?

  • Why is the panorama tab button missing from my tab bar

    Just downloaded Beta 4 and find the panorama button is missing from the tab bar. Your video showing how to manipulate tabs show the button on the right hand side of the tab bar, on my download it is missing why, also some of the other bars shown in your video are missing to, why??

    You can add it if you want, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. You can then drag and drop the "Tab Groups" icon from the customize toolbar dialog onto the toolbars. You can use this method to add other icons to the toolbars.
