Help setting up Leopard Server(Standard) and VPN

Hello,
Here is my set up:
We have a static IP.
ADSL Netgear Router takes in the internet connection. (Not sure what the version is, but it had a VPN wizard).
Latest Aiport BS serves just the wireless.
Leopard Server in Standard Mode.
For the life of me I can't get the VPN working. I can't even make the server public. Granted I am out of my depth, but I am endeavoring to learn but there seems to be so many boxes to tick with servers that I never even know where I am up to.
On the 3 items in my setup above, what should the settings be starting to look like.
If I type our servers FQDN into Safari I am told that the server does not exist, but I can't work out how to make it available to the public. I am guessing that if I can't see the server via a browser then I am never going to be able to connect via VPN?
If you know of any other questions that I should be asking too, please let me know. My googling is getting me no where. I have even been doing the lynda.com tutorials on Leopard Server. So I promise that I am trying.

Hi
Perhaps if I broke it down in these two ways.
(a) There is nothing stopping you from using the built in Routing Services in Leopard Server. To make things clearer these 'Routing' Services would be VPN, Firewall, NAT, DHCP and possibly DNS. Basically and simply if your server (by that I mean the hardware you are using to be your server) has two ethernet ports and if your ISP supplied broadband service is by DSL Cable Modem then you don't need a 3rd-Party Router. You can simply connect the ethernet cable from your Cable Modem directly into one ethernet port (this would be the WAN/Public/External connection. The other ethernet port can be connected directly to your network switch/hub (switch would be better). This would be your LAN/Private/Internal connection. Running Gateway Assistant will help you configure the Server (simply to begin with) to 'share' the internet connection on your WAN port with any client computer configured to use your LAN port. It is NAT that basically fulfils this function. The Firewall Service will allow any request that comes from your 'trusted' LAN access to the Internet using the WAN port. Any 'untrusted' request trying to gain access to your LAN from the Internet is blocked by your Firewall unless you configure your Firewall to allow it through. The VPN Service along with the DHCP Service can be configured to allow trusted remote clients to access your Server as well as the private network as if that remote client was actually at your Server's location. Remote client access is achieved by simply keying in the fixed external IP Address that is used at your Server's location in Internet Connect as well as a name and password that is configured on the Server.
(b) You purchase a 3rd Party Router to this all for you and dispense with the built in tools on the Server. Simply configure the Router to allow VPN passthrough. There are 3 basic VPN connection methods: PPTP, L2TP and IPSec (ISKAMP). Each of them offer increasingly more secure methods. Depending on which method you finally decide on may mean using additional 'client' software not available as standard on the client OS.
Back to (a): If your internet connection is down a phone line then you would need to use an ADSL Modem Router anyway. For me it does not make much sense to connect the LAN side of this Router to your Server and to further configure the Server to do something the Router can already do for you in most cases better and simpler. Why complicate things trying to do this server side when by your own admission 'I am not getting it/anything'
There is some excellent advice on these forums regarding VPN have you searched for them? If you have and you are still struggling to understand this then perhaps it may be more beneficial as well as being cost effective to get a professional in to do this for you. You would benefit enormously as not only will you see how it gets done but you will also be able to ask questions that may make the whole concept of VPN and networking in general more understandable.
Hope this helps, Tony

  • How to set up Leopard server on a wifi-only network?

    Hi - I'm having a lot of trouble getting Leopard server installed and running on a wi-fi only network. Standard setup says I have to be connected to a local Ethernet. Advance setup allows me to start services, but then the server disappears after a few minutes.
    Anyone able to do this successfully?

    Per the documentation, there is no way to do this. Leopard Server requires a dedicated Ethernet port on the subnet that it serves - so I'll have to bridge my Ethernet and wifi networks. As I don't have a hub of my own, I'll upgrade my Airport Express to an Airport Extreme, connect the mini and see if the services come back up or if I have to reinstall.

    Once I have downloaded email on my iPad the same is not downloaded on my laptop. Have tried all settings including choosing the setting DELETE FROM SERVER:NEVER and REMOVE FROM SERVER:NEVER

    Hey rbrylawski, just wanted to let you know that my ipad email problems have been solved. Called Apple Sup in OZ, I'm in NZ. Daniel Barber was the support tech from heaven!! I was about to return the ipad but solving this issue reset my faith in phone support.....perhaps until I call a differnet companys phone support eh? Anyhow, for reference the fix is below.  My accounts are all POP not IMAP, and the primary smtp server setting had defaulted to have SSL switched on and the port was set to 5XX (something, cant remember). Anyhow, SSL was switched off and the port was swithced to 25. VOILÀ!!  Settings/Mail, contacts, calendars/My POP mail account/smtp/primary server/ >>> server on, no username and password,  use SSL off,  no authentication,  Server Port 25  Thanks for having a crack at it. This might help when assisting another user. Cheers Tonino

  • DNS/web-server hosted off-site. How to set up Leopard server for mail?

    Hey Everyone,
    Brand new xserve with leopard server 10.5.2. Currently, Our web and DNS server for our domain,"company.com" is co-located off-site with an MX record of "mail.company.com" pointed at the static IP of the office where our mail server is. I want to replace the mail server with the xserve. With that in mind, how do I configure the DNS on the xserve during initial configuration to reflect that? Give it a self-referencing FQDN like server.company.office and see if the mail service can handle the domain hosted elsewhere?
    I'm pretty new to servers and would love be able to keep this all in Standard but I'm not afraid to jump into Advanced if need be. I've created a test domain through GoDaddy of "company2.com" with an MX record of "mail.company2.com" pointing at the IP address of the xserve. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • PPTP (or WinXP compatible) on Leopard Server (standard config)

    Okay, so I've got Leopard Server installed on an 8-core Mac Pro using the standard configuration. It's doing file sharing, iCal, web, VPN, and Time Machine. All's well.
    The VPN service is currently L2TP only and works fine for all Mac clients. However, there is now the necessity for a WinXP client and that one won't connect using L2TP. It has been suggested that I use PPTP, but I don't believe that's an option using the standard configuration in Leopard Server and I really don't feel like messing with Server Admin. I like Server Preferences.
    So... two questions. First: is there an easy way to enable PPTP in addition to L2TP? Second: is there a software VPN client that anyone knows of that would allow the XP client to use L2TP?
    Thanks.

    I hear you, you don't want to dig in with Server Admin. I just wan't to say that activating the pptp in SA is as unmessy as it could be. I have on the other hand not actually done this myself since L2TP serves me fine, but just by looking at it says to me that this should be very easy.
    Take a look at the docs about it at least and see for yourself if this still seems like a last resort for you. I don't know if there is an easy way to do it with Server Prefs.app so it might be an even easier way than with SA?
    Giving you a link to examine. Haven't read it all myself but it seems to be worth to look over.

  • 10.5.7 Leopard Server - Standard Setup

    Im looking to see if the standard setup of leopard server can be configured to use PPTP rather than IPSec.
    Also, is it possible to share the ethernet connection of my MacMini (running leopard server) to wifi?
    I want to use it as a router for my home.

    The built-in VPN server supports both PPTP and L2TP over IPSec.
    For sure the Advanced setup can support either, or both simultaneously. I've never run a standard setup, but I don't see why it would be any different.
    As for network sharing, you can share any interface with any other interface. It doesn't matter what media the interface uses (e.g. wired or wireless).
    I would suggest that you carefully consider your server use before deciding to use it as the gateway to your network. For most people a standard $50 router does just as well, and, in fact, provides better security.

  • Need help setting up Mac server for dental practice?

    My dentist is running windows server 2003 and wants to do a total upgrade to Apple server components. The issue is that the software his office uses for patient records is not Mac compatible. He is really set on the Mac environment and is curious if he can run the software on a Mac running Windows and I guess my question is the same. I don't have the specifics on the software he needs to run but from what he says it is fairly low overhead and handles some large jpeg files but mostly small data files.
    I am curios how difficult the task of migrating all the info into the Mac environment will be? He is also curious about remote access from home or wherever he needs to get to his info and am curious if a VPN or other method is best.
    Thanks

    Ok, I am a sucker. I will bite.
    The answer is yes. OS X and OS X Server can run Windows in a virtual machine using Parallels of VMWare (or virtual box, or Crossover, or... you get my point). This will allow you to run Mac hardware with Mac software but at the same time run Windows and the required applications.
    But, there is a cost penalty here. First, there is the cost of the hardware. Not a big deal, Apple is competitive in price and the server hardware is very nice. Then there is the cost of Windows and the VM software. This is your tax. You have to add these costs on top of what you are already buying and then there is the hidden cost of the additional support. You are now supporting two operating systems, OS X and Windows. And just because Window is running on a Mac does not make it immune to viruses/spyware/trojans/etc.
    If this guy really wants to go the Mac route, then go all Mac. Check out http://www.macpractice.com/mp/dds/ or http://www.macdentpro.com/index.php or do a search. There are a number of products that can handle dental practices on Macs, including the radiology aspect. Google is your friend.
    As for remote access, OS X Server has a VPN built in that works well. That is not a problem. Or you can get a dedicated VPN appliance to handle security. Once bit of advice. Make sure you implement a good backup solution. Don't be foolish and think that TIme Machine alone is going to save you. This is medical records. Do not mess with them. Spend the dollars to properly harden the environment and ensure record retention policies are met.
    Hope this helps

  • Need help setting up web server with WRT54GS

    Hello,

  • Help setting up Lion Server for remote access

    I have been going in cricles for weeks trying to set this up correctly.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    I got Lion Server and Server Admin Tools all updated and have been trying to follow Terry Walsh from We Got Served's guide but I missing something.
    I purchased a domain from GoDaddy. Let's call it bradnet.com
    My domain and dyn domain are not really what I have typed here but close enought that they should work for my example and trouble shooting.
    Because my ISP (Comcast) doesn't provide a static IP I registerd for an account with dyn.com.  This is where I get really confused.  With dyn.com i created a host name: bradnet.dyndns-rocks.com and downloaded there updater software.  It found my public IP address and said everything is ok.
    I went back to GoDaddy and in my DNS manger page added the host: bradnet.dyndns-rocks.com and entered my public IP.
    I then went to the server pane to edit the host name.  I followed your instructions to edit the name and selected Host Name for Internet.  I left the computer name as mini (what I had previously named it for file sharing before the server upgrade) and entered  mini.bradnet.dyndns-rocks.com as the host name.  When it takes me back to the server pane, in the bottom window it states:
    Your Server's host name is mini.bradnet.dyndns-rocks.com, and its IP address is 192.168.1.10. You can change network settings in the Server pane.
    I never get the your network is configured properly message.
    I went and set my computer's IP to DHCP with manual address (although all of my machines are set up with DHCP reservations so I guess that is a little redundant) to 192.168.1.10.
    I skipped the port forwarding step because I am using the latest AirPort Extreme as my router.
    I then opened a browser and tried:
    http://bradnet.com
    http://mini.bradnet.dyndns-rocks.com
    http://mini.bradnet.com
    http://bradnet.dyndns-rocks.com
    All of these got me the can't find the server response from Safari.
    Also, I have not yet set up Directory Services.  Terry's guide seems to suggest to do this step first.
    I'm sure I have messed up some step somewhere can you see what I have done wrong?
    Also, is it a problem to set up open directory services using a .local host and then go back and change it for internet access later or do you need to set that up from the start?  My family is getting impatient with me trying to get this to work.
    Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
    Brad

    That manual page is not fully correct. There is written:
    Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port value(s)>
    Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port value(s)>
    Private IP Address: <enter the reserved IP address of the host device (from step 1)>
    Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same Public UDP Ports or your choice>
    Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same Public TCP Ports or your choice>
    But it should be:
    Public UDP Port(s): <enter unique UDP Ports of your choice>
    Public TCP Port(s): <enter unique TCP Ports of your choice>
    Private IP Address: <enter the reserved IP address of the host device (from step 1)>
    Private UDP Port(s): <enter the UDP Ports used by your device>
    Private TCP Port(s): <enter the TCP Ports used by your device>
    Make sure you use the same ports in the private settings as you have defined in your IP camera. Normally a camera will use port 80 by default, so use 80 here.
    The Public ports must all be unique. If you have not defined a port 80 here, you can also use 80. This will fail however when using multiple cameras. I for instance have 5 IP cameras and use the public ports 8451, 8452, 8453 etc.

  • Leopard Server Assistant and DNS Name

    I am trying to setup Leopard Server in my home...
    Server assistant launches I fill in the information and everything is fine... except I do not know what to put in the Server DNS name box. If I leave as is the server tools do not start because they cannot resolve the machine name.
    In short what is going on...
    1. How do you change the machine DNS name after server assistant has finished running?
    2. What should I put in the DNS box?
    MACServer.local? or MACSERVER
    3. If I move to Dynamic DNS how do I change this later without having to re-install.
    I have to admit that setting the server up, installing disks was easy but the DNS issue seems to be a real stumbling block for setting up a home server.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Tony,
    Thanks for the response.
    My concern is that a normal home user will not be able to setup MAC Server 10.5 very easily without knowledge of DNS. (I will walk through a setup later on in the mail)
    My point is that the average user will not be able to setup MAC Server. They will have difficulty filling out the setup wizard correctly - for this reason I cannot recommend it to a rookie. What is needed is a really simple setup scenario script that can be given to user so they can setup a MAC server in the home to support file sharing, intranet web browsing and time machine backups and central storage for users.
    Don't get me wrong a MAC admin will find the changes in 10.5 a significant and fine improvement over past mac server setups and a leap frog over the Windows and Linux setup experience. Don't let anyone persuade you that Microsoft Home Server is a easy either. (Actually corrupts data with certain apps) - great testing Microsoft
    Back to good software...
    MAC Server Setup example: (Newbie the new IT for the household)
    Prior to setting up the server Newbie will need to define his system setup...
    i.e.
    Server Name [email protected]
    IP Address: 192.168.0.100
    Router: 192.168.0.1
    Is the machine going to be a gateway or behind a firewall?
    Will it distribute IP addresses for the home network etc?
    These points are important as the DHCP and DNS go hand in hand. If the router is acting as a DNS relay and handing out IP addresses this may interfere with setting up the server to be primary DNS provider in the home.
    Walkthrough 1: Scenario:
    Setup the server to be a simple server with only file sharing, web server and time machine.
    When asked Newbie enters:
    Domain name: pkjserv.technophobic.com
    Server Name:192.168.0.100 (DHCP) or manual
    Nebie configures the server...
    after setup the first thing that will happen is that Server Preferences will launch it will populate with the above server data...
    Problem: Newbie trys to use server preferences and types in his password and fails to get access...
    Why... because Server preferences expects "pkjserv.technophobic.com" to resolve but DNS is not setup yet...
    OK so Newbie needs to setup DNS...
    Newbie selects Applications/Server/Server Admin.app
    (Newbie uses Magic to find Server Admin)
    First prompt "Are you sure you want to use Server Admin?"
    Newbie selects "Use Server Admin"
    (Newbie uses Magic to know he has to do this)
    Connect to server via IP address 168.192.0.100
    Select DNS add click to box...
    Expand 192.168.0.100 (our server)
    Select DNS
    Select zones...
    Add primary zone / Select example.com
    Change Primary zone to "technophobic.com."
    Select "ns" and Change Nameserver to "pkjserv"
    Under primary domain select machine change machine name to "pkjserv"
    Select IP Addresses and change to 192.168.0.100
    Click "save"
    Newbie should have the following setup displayed:
    Name Type Value
    technophobic.com Primary Zone -
    pkjserv Machine 192.168.0.100
    0.168.192.in-addr.arpa Reverse Zone -
    192.168.0.100 Reverse Mapping pkjserv.technophobic.com
    ------- Start DNS...
    The problem here is that DNS is working but Newbies IP setup is still not referencing the DNS server so newbie will have to add it to the network settings.
    Preferences / Network / advanced / DNS
    once they have done this Newbie should be able to launch your browser and type "pkjserv.technophobic.com" and have it resolve to the web browser on the machine...
    in short - this is difficult... hence my proposal that Apple need to create a simple setup scenario scripted document (fill in blanks) so a user can setup a MAC server in the home. Current docs do not allows an average user to install MAC OSX Server - I want a simple MAC Server that anyone can install...

  • Help: Install Snow Leopard Server 10.6.0 on Mid-2010 Mac Mini, then update?

    I just purchased a Mid-2010 Mac Mini with Snow Leopard Client 10.6.3 (the new ones just released) with the idea of installing my copy of Snow Leopard Client on it and using it as both a network server and media server.
    I own Snow Leopard Server 10.6.0 (the initial DVD release) and was thinking I could do a fresh install and update to 10.6.4 on the Mini without problem, but that didn't work. I also tried doing a Target Disk Install to the Mini using my MacbookPro, but the installer choked at the Machine Checksum saying MBPs weren't supported to run the installer.
    So, that blows both of my previously known installation options. I was wondering if anyone else with the new Mini and Snow Leopard Server had any suggestions on how to get my current version of Snow Leopard Server (10.6.0) installed on the Mini and then run system updates to get it to boot properly.
    Thanks

    Hi GrainFocuser;
    Your copy of SL Server version is probably too old to install on the new Mac Mini. It probably doesn't have all of the correct drivers for the newer hardware.
    You might have better success with your alternatives if you post over on the server forum instead of here.

    Allan, thanks.
    It is pretty clear that my installation disk is too old, hence looking for options and suggestions.
    In years past with previous versions of Server, there was a way to install an outdated install disk (a point release or 3 behind) and then run the necessary installation updates...either through target disk mode or on to a separate boot disc.
    So, with my 10.6.0 Server Install disc, I am not able to do so in either scenario because a) My other admin machine is a MB Pro and the installer performs a hardware checksome preventing install...so no Target Disk Mode, and B) Install on other disc from mini, again Hardware checksome since hardware not recognized.
    I am looking at options to enable an install with my disk short of having to physically walk into Apple (a huge trek) and get a new install disk or ask Apple Support to mail one.
    So, again... Any options from OS X Server Admins out there?

  • Are there any problems with Snow Leopard Server (Xserve) and PPC Clients

    Hi,
    are there any problems identified yet with Snow Leopard Server, installed on a Xserve and PPC Clients running Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard?
    Currently I have a Xserve Intel running Leopard Server and about 12 Mac Minis PPC running Mac OS X Tiger and Mac OS X Leopard. The Xserve serves services like DNS, OpenDirectory, Software Update Server, NetBoot, etc. All users have Home Directories stored on the Xserve.
    Now I want to install Snow Leoaprd Server on the Xserve, but I wonder if there are any problems using the PPC Clients? I have read something like this on a german website.
    Thanks!

    We've actually found that the Server 10.6.3 DVD does an amazingly smooth job of upgrading 10.5.8. We've been upgrading our production servers and nothing has gone wrong yet. Snow Leopard employs an archive and install method of upgrading which results in an install which is very close to a clean install. So it's been very convenient for us because our servers are used as Windows PDCs and it's a pain in the *** to have to re-join all PCs to the domain if we start from scratch.

  • Need help setting up xrdp server on my Arch

    Hey,
    I want to set up an XRDP/VNC server on my personal computer which is running the latest Arch linux (X64).
    I wanted to use xrdp as I am going to connect to my computer from a windows based OS (work).
    I want to be able to do so using microsoft's RDP program (mstsc) as I am unable to install any software I like, it's a laptop from work.
    So far I have downloaded and installed XRDP from AUR and installed the tightvnc as it was a dependency.
    Right now I am kind of clueless about what to do/config/etc..
    Help will be appreciated.
    Thanks !

    From one newb to another, I can give the process I took to get it running.  First and foremost, uninstall xrdp from the AUR, I could not get it to work no matter what I tried
    Next you will need to make sure xvnc is working properly, this can be done by:
    Xvnc :1
    More then likely you will get several font errors, as Xvnc is looking for its fonts in the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts directory, and Arch deposits that in the /usr/share/fonts directory.  So to fix this we do:
    ln -s /usr/share/fonts /usr/X11R6/lib/X11
    now try the Xvnc command above, it should work properly this time (might be a font error or two but the server is running).
    So now that we have Xvnc running properly, lets go to sourceforge and gank the latest xrdp tar ball...  http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/
    I used the standard install (generic linux install) with "tar zxvf" then "make" and then "make install"
    If you are using KDE, you should be all set, if another WM, then search through the forums (Ubuntu had several hits on xrdp and are Gnome specific) as I would more then likely steer you in the wrong direction.
    Next we need to remove the lock on Xvnc :0 so it can restart (or you can restart your system if it makes you feel better), its in the /tmp/ as .X10-lock
    then run the following command to startup xrdp:
    /usr/local/xrdp/xrdp_control.sh start
    I hope this helps, if not completely, at least in the proper direction.  As I mentioned, there is a lot of info in the Ubuntu forums on xrdp, some of it is helpful, other is meh

  • Help setting up SSH Server to watch Sky Player

    Hi all
    This is my first post here but been a Mac lover for many years. I have just got access Sky Player and I spend a lot of time outside the UK and of course, Sky Player doesn't work outside of the UK. I have read I need to set up a home server with SSH enabled with a SOCKS 5 Proxy set up so I can route into that while abroad with my MacBook Pro. I have a spare PowerBook G4 running Leopard I can use, but I have never done this before. Can anyone here tell me what to do on the PowerBook G4 at home to set up SSH and SOCKS 5 Proxy, then what to do on my MacBook Pro while abroad to watch Sky Player?
    I would really appreciate any help with this.
    Thanks
    Rich

    I'm assuming that either your Sky Player allows the use of a SOCKS5 proxy server, or this is web server based.
    This is done on the Mac in the UK:
    You should get a free No-IP.com or DynDNS.org dynamic DNS name, and then run the dynamic DNS update client on the UK Mac. This will allow you to find your UK Mac even if your ISP changes your IP address.
    You need to enable your UK Mac's System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login.
    You need to configure your UK home router so it forwards port 22 from the public internet side to port 22 on the UK Mac.
    Depending on your home router, you may need to specify a fixed private IP address, and to do that you need to configure the UK Mac System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP/IP for "DHCP Manual IP Address". The actual address should be in the in the IP address range handled by the router; 192.168.1.201 or 10.0.1.201 or similar. Look at the IP addresses being assigned by your router and mirror the first 3 numbers, then pick a number like 201, but it could be another value between 2 and 253, but I like 201 as it tends not to be in the way of anything.
    You should test this by going to a local WiFi hot spot and trying to ssh into your UK Mac. Better to test before you are on the road.
    This is done on the Mac that is away from home:
    Using Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
    ssh -D 12345 [email protected]
    Now set System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxy
    [X] SOCKS Proxy
    SOCKS Proxy server: localhost : 12345
    Where the 12345 is the value specified by the *-D 12345* option in the ssh command. Feel free to choose a different port number, but I would suggest something that is 5 digits long and less than 65534, so you are less likely to accidentially use another protocol's known port.
    If your Sky Player does not use the System Preferences Network Proxy, then you need to configure the Sky Player proxy config with similar information.
