Help! How do I get an XServe to allow cients on the internet?

There's something wrong. I've been at this for over 23 hours straight. I've read all the manuals and all the posts here, but can't find the answer. I seem to remember something during the Panther Server days but can't find it. Running Tiger Server now.
I have an Xserve connected to m DSL line (fixed IP) on the internal card NIC. The built in ethernet is connected to my hub. DNS is working and DHCP is also. Firewall is on and so is NAT. However, NAT wants to share the builtin ethernet not the internal card as the external interface. IN Panther, I remember having to edit a file because a bug in Panther Server that NAT would not let you set the right interface. I have the internal card set up first in Network and it connects fine to the DSL (posting this from the server), but won't let clients connect.
Tried opening ports in the Firewall, but the GUI is different than I remember. (Might be from being up 30 hours straight.) I need to get the office back on the internet and my airport base station won't cut it with ATT anymore. (long story - not sure of the cause.)
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance - sign me tired and confused.

In Server Admin drag the little icon in the lower right corner in the NAT config window to the desktop.
Edit that .plist file with an editor, text edit or perhaps Property List Editor, find and exchange en0/en1 for ppp0, save it drag the edited file back on to the NAT config window - save.
Firewall/NAT might need restarting.
Firewall rules?

    If possible, connect to your router with Ethernet and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

  • How can I get my Mountain Lion more stable on the internet? It keeps losing the signal. Lion is solid as a rock on my other Macbook using the same router.

    I downloaded Mountain Lion on my Macbook Air, and it works without a hitch except for internet connectivity. It keeps losing the signal. My Macbook using the same connection is solid as a rock and never loses the connection. Is there something I can do? Since my Macbook works weell under exactly the same conditions and if memory serves so did my Macbook Air with Lion before I downloaded Mountain Lion, none of the usual fixes seem to apply.

    I have the same problem, I think.  I dont lose wifi signal, the mba stays connected to the router the whole time.   Pings also seem unaffected by this problem.  The problem is that web pages seem to load intermittently, in other words, it loads a page in 2 minutes.  It loads:
    the first 25% in the first 5 seconds
    the next 25% in the next 50 seconds
    the next 25% in the next 5 seconds
    the last 25% in the last 50 seconds
    Its quite annoying considering this can be as simple a page as goolge search results or even google.com.
    I thought it was my ISP and i even made a big racket about it, switched ISPs and I have the same problem.
    With the previous ISP I had a cisco router.  This new ISP supplied their own modem/wifi.  That doesnt seem to be the problem.  
    Im thinking its a config issue on my mba.  I have the latest updates to ML.
    Any ideas?

    I believe I had leopard and I was having issues getting errors of system not being supported. I contacted Apple and was advised I needed to upgrade to snow leopard. My laptop is from 2009 and I haven't done anything to it till now. The apple rep also stated I should do a fresh install when putting snow leopard on so my laptop would run faster. Apple rep told me to get a external hard drive to put my info on it so the fresh install would reset everything to like it was brand new. I had someone help me with getting everything on the EHD.. doing the right format and such and then once that was done I put in the CD for snow leopard and hit install. Which brings me to now, with everything but my pictures. I have the EHD plugged in... now what? What do I do? I have looked in the EHD in iphoto and it was all standard images *not my pictures but images of a check mark or an arrow again not actual pictures. I don't see a folder pictures and i looked for images and found nothing. I have Applications, Included Free Designs, Library, System, User Guides and Information and Users, those are my options and non of those have a "pictures"
    I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 & Mac OS X version 10.6.3

    Run the cleaner, reinstall.
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    And don't bother with running any updates unless you really need them or they fix a critical issue relevant to your workflow.

    Your "other" of 6 GB may include corrupted data or file sytem errors. If after removing the messages there is still >2GB, you will need to restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup (made after deleting the messages) and if needed as a new iPhone.

    Hello,
    I forget my passcode please help how can I get my it

    You will need to try to restore your iPad from the same computer that you most recently synced to.
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    Follow the instructions very carefully.

    Downgrading is not supported.
    Here are some basic troubloeshooting tips:
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
      - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.
    If you want to contact Apple directly, call 1-800-MYAPPLE (1-800-692-7753), or go to getsupport.apple.com. 
    Don't waste your time asking for a downgrade of the iOS.  That's not an option.

  • I erased my recipes from my Ipad.Help how do I get them back_

    I erased my recipes form my notes on my Ipad.Help how do I get them back_

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The difficulty in restoring iCloud data from a back up is that the back up is older than the current version on iCloud and anything that is restored gets removed again when an iCloud sync occurs. I have previously suggested ways to recover contacts, calendars etc, and other users have confirmed that they work, as such I am making the following suggestions to recover lost notes, but please note, as yet success is unconfirmed.
    Recovering your notes is quite time consuming, you may wish not to save all your notes to save some time, if they are not of importance.
        1.    Ensure the device is connected to your local network.
        2.    Start the restore from iCloud back up.
        3.    Allow the devices settings to restore (watch for the confirmation of completion).
        4.    As the apps begin to restore pull the connection to your router WAN port (the one that goes to the telephone point).
        5.    Wait for the time out confirmation.
        6.    Open the 'Notes' app, and open your first note (assuming your deleted notes have now been restored).
        7.    Select the share option at the foot of the screen (rectangle with arrow) and choose mail.
        8.    Send the email to yourself (If they won't send, save them to draft)
        9.    Repeat steps 7 & 8, until you have copied all the notes you wish to save to email.
        10.    Reconnect the router to the internet and let the restore process complete.
        11.    Navigate to settings > iCloud and make sure 'Notes' syncing is enabled.
        12.    Open the 'Notes' app, check that iCloud notes have reverted to how they were before starting the restore.
        13.    Open the 'Mail' app and open the first email you sent yourself and copy the text you want in the note.
        14.    Open the 'Notes' app and create a new note in the iCloud, paste the text you copied.
        15.    Go to iCloud.com on a computer and check that the note has synced to iCloud.
        16.    Repeat steps 12, 13 & 14 until you have recovered all your notes.
    May I suggest that you carry out a back up to iTunes before you try anything, that way should things become even worse, you can at least restore back to where you are now.

    Help- how do i get in contact with Apple via mail or chat for support
    This is ridiculous, why can I not get in contact with Apple by email or chat with their support team?? How to do, please help.

    You cannot contact Apple support by e-mail or via chat.
    You have to contact AppleCare by telephone.
    If there is an Apple store nearby, visit the genius bar.
