Help How Do i set up VPN

Hello everyone I need help setting up a VPN I own my own a post production company and we just purchased final cut server about a year ago. And we're starting to get really busy so I need some editors to access the server from home. How do I set up a VPN client at work to access from home. Can anybody point me to the right direction. How do I get this to work. I have try searching but no success. We're running a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard not Snow Leopard Server. Final Cut Server is installed on it.
Thanks for your help

The most direct way is to configure VPN access with your Internet router, assuming it has a built-in VPN feature. What are you using for a router? If your router doesn't have VPN, another option (albeit less secure) is to set up port forwarding or NAT.
That's the networking side of things. What do you want your editors to be able to do from home with FCSvr? The extremely limited bandwidth will obviously significantly limit what is practical when using FCSvr via a typical residential broadband connection.

  • How do you set up VPN on Mac from information that's only from a Windows computer?

    My workplace only supports setting up VPN on my Windows computer, but not my Mac, and I would love to access VPN from my Mac as well.
    I am running Mountain Lion on my Mac and Windows 7 on my PC.

    You will need to know what type of VPN they use, L2TP/IPsec and PPTP or a proprietary one.
    With that information there are lots of guides on how to set up the L2TP and PPTP on the web, usually they are for a commercial VPN supplier but you would need to put your companies info into the correct boxes in System Preferences/Network.
    If it is proprietary, go to the makers web site and see if here is a suitable client to download and use, again enter your companies info into that software.
    There is also Open VPN client that may work.
    One thing to be aware of is that some companies forbid any connection to their system unless using approved software.

  • How can I set up VPN Sharing?

    Hello All,
    I work from home and VPN in using Check Point's Connectra SSL Network Extender (it's browser-based).
    Pretty much each OS X update breaks this VPN "solution." It is, apparently, a DNS issue and someone had posted a fix that "repaired" the mDNS by putting in back to the version in 10.6.5. That worked for Snow Leopard, but now that I've upgraded to Lion, the problem has presented itself again and the 10.6.5 repair no longer works.
    I have an older MacBook Pro still running Snow Leopard which can still successfully run the VPN. Without having a fix for Lion, I would like to share the MacBook Pro's VPN connection with my iMac (running Lion). I can share the MBP's internet connection with the iMac with no problem (MBP connects to AirPort wirelessly and iMac is connected to MBP via ethernet), but the iMac traffic does not go through the VPN connection.
    I understand that the solution will probably require IP forwarding, but I haven't been able to get that to work.
    Here's the output of ifconfig (with external IP address Xed out):

    Thanks for your reply, sulie4real!
    The problem is that my work's VPN "solution" doesn't work on Lion, but it does work on Snow Leopard using 10.6.5's mDNS Responder.
    For my work's VPN, I have to go to a web site, which downloads a java applet to scan connected systems for viruses (it allows macs to pass through without scan verification)--this actually doesn't work with Safari and only seems to work with Firefox or Opera (Chrome gives the same error as Safari).
    So, I can't use OS X' native VPNs, unfortunately.
    Thanks again for your response!

  • HELP: How do I set up an external hard through Wireless Network?

    I just bought a Western Digital Hard Drive and I'm trying to set it up via my home wireless network, so multiple computers can send files to the hard drive. Can anyone help?
    I see there was one thread earlier this month, but there wasn't a final answer to the question. I have tried allowing file sharing via Preferences and then going to the other computer's Finder>Go>Connect to Network. I enter the afp and it doesn't work.
    Can someone help? Thanks.

    Yes, until/unless she makes a New User, YOU, on her Computer, that's all you'll see for Security purposes... unless you logged onto Her Computer with Her Username & Her Password, then you'd see everything She does... and visa versa.
    But Sharepoints will give better control.
    Launch Sharepoints, click the Normal Shares Tab if it isn't already.
    On the bottom gove this "Share" a name, click the Browse button and selt your new HD.
    Click the AFS sharing ytthing and select "+", click Create New Share.
    Click on the Users... Tab, fill in, click add new user.
    Click back on the Normal Tab, highlight the Share's name, click on the "Show File Properties" button.
    Select Her username and give the rights you wish.

    Glad you got it figured out. The site has been messed up off and on lately, and that's probably why you didn't get more help. It's been so slow it's been practically impossible to use. Hopefully everything will be fixed eventually.
    Enjoy your airport!

  • Need Help: How to configure/set-up custom interchange code values in B2B

    Hello All,
    Hope everybody is doing well.
    We are currently facing a problem in implementing Inbound 850 Purchase Orders in B2B from one of our Trading Partners (Customer).
    The Customer will be sending us EDI ANSI X12 ver 4010 Purchase Order files, but in the file they are sending a custom GS08 (8th element of GS Segment having Version/Release/Industry Identifier Code) value i.e. "004010RIFMAT".
    The above value is not present in the Standard Code values when we define an ECS using B2B Document Editor.
    Hence the document is failing in B2B since it is not able to identify the Trading Partner.
    If anyone has faced similar issues, I would appreciate if you could let me know on how to configure the same in B2B. Please let me know the steps in detail.
    Thanks In Advance.
    Regards,
    Dibya

    Hello Dibya,
    Can you create a new group ecs with appropriate codelist for GS08 and use it while modelling B2B flow. Make sure to undeploy and validate the agreement.

    Glad you were able to do it...I remember my first RAID 0 experiences...It's really funny when I recall the paranoia from folks who'd never done it themselves...like, for instance, the old wives' tail that states that with RAID 0 your odds of drive failure are multiplied  100% by the number of drives you have in the array...  "If you lose one drive, you lose it all," etc., which seems to make sense until you consider the fact that if you have just one drive running in SCSI/IDE mode--and it fails--you also "lose it all"...  Then there's the "But RAID 0 isn't fault tolerant" myth, which is true but still a myth because normal SCSI/IDE is also not fault tolerant...!  The fact is that if you have 2 standard IDE/SCSI drives running compared with 2 drives running in RAID 0, there's no difference at all in the odds of a single drive failing at any time...  The drives don't care whether you run them in RAID 0 or IDE, of course, etc.  Drives always fail individually--almost never in pairs, of course--and so the odds of a RAID 0 drive failing are exactly the same as they'd be if you weren't running RAID 0 at all.
    Anyway, I've included RAID 0 in every build I've done personally since 2004, and the interesting fact is (although mere coincidence) that on those rare occasions when a drive has failed it has not been one of my RAID 0 drives...!...  Enjoy!

  • How do I set up VPN?

    The VPN I used to have in Snow Leopard and Tiger is no longer working in Lion. I hope there is a simple fix to this.

    More info please.  VPN issues are often very specific to what protocol you're using (PPTP, L2TP, IPSec) and what version of the VPN software you're using, and the VPN endpoint server.
    For example, many people are reporting issues with the older Cisco VPN software, but are just fine with the current Cisco AnyConnect or OSX's built-in VPN.  And many people were reporting VPN issues connecting to non-enterprise grade VPN enpoints like DD-WRT.
    BTW, I'm using OSX's built-in VPN connecting by PPTP to a Cisco RV042, L2TP to a Exchange 2003 server, and IPSec to a Cisco ASA 5510.  All are working just fine on Lion.

  • Set up VPN behind modem

    Hello. My server is behind a modem and I am wondering how I would set up VPN. There is no router, there isn't even a network, so what would be the starting and ending IP addresses? Would I need to configure the DHCP service? Thanks for your help.

    What sort of modem, and what's on the other end of the modem, and how is your Mac connected to the modem?
    What task(s) do you want to do with the VPN?  Connect from the Mac to another network, or connect from another network to your Mac?
    (I'm grey-haired enough to have used 110 and 300 baud modems, and that stuff is rare these days.  And it's not really something that's easily feasible with a modem, short of some real hackery and a pile of PPP or SLIP, and that's not "fun" to get working.  And it's not at all fast.)

  • HT4436 how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 - all it has is mobile me under internet and wireless????

    help, how do I set up an icloud account on my macbook pro with 10.6.8 — all it has is "mobile me" under internet and wireless on my system doc????

    You should check that your Mac meets the requirements for upgrading.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

    I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "I-Mail". However, there is no way to set up an autoresponder on an iPad. You'll need to do it through the server. For example, I have Gmail. I can log into Gmail on my computer using my browser and set up an autoreponse in settings.

    Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
    Host we need more details:
    What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
    What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
    Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
    Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).
