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.

Need help setting up web server with WRT54GS

Hello,
I am trying to set up a web server with my linksys router. For the network settings, I have used 192.168.001.150 as my primary IP (192.168.1.150, all 3 numerical characters have to be filled in), 255.255.255.000 as my primary netmask and 192.168.001.001 (192.168.1.1) as my gateway. I have gone into my router and then enabled port fowarding for port 80 to 192.168.1.150 but I still cannot access my web server. What could be the problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to set up this server so I can test scripts and things.

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

Need Help Setting Up Testing Server

Hi. I have been using Dreamweaver for a while, but am
extremely new at the whole testing server thing, as I have been
building only simple pure-html pages.
I am want to password protect a part of my site using the
Insert > Data Objects > User Authentication > Log In User.
I have already converted my whole site from .html pages to
.php pages, because I thought that .html pages wouldn't work.
Everytime I try to use that Log In User menu command,
Dreamweaver gives me a dialog box that says, "Before inserting this
object, please do the following: 1. Create a site for this file 2.
Choose a document type 3. Set up the site's testing server".
Numbers 1 and 2 have a checkbox which I am assuming means they are
done correctly. But number 3 (set up teh site's testing server) has
no checkbox and the dialog box will not allow me to click OK, which
leads me to assume that I need to accomplish the aforementioned
step number 3.
So I go to the Site Definition for my site and under the
Advanced Tab go to Testing Server. I want PHP MySQL as the server
model, so I chose that. And I am guessing I need to choose
Local/Network for the Access option because
the computer I am building this site on is not connected to the
internet. (I have no intention of hooking this machine up to
the internet becauase all of my work I have ever done is on it!)
Now, here lies my main question: What should the Testing
server folder be? And what should the URL prefix be? And do I need
to change anything else?
If I am not being clear about anything regarding my
questions, please make a point of it, and I will try to be more
clear.
Thank you so much for helping!

> Host Directory:/root folder/ (if no root folder
directory use "/"
Or leave it blank.
> FTP Host:yoursite.com
I see that this is a *real* domain, with a real registration.
It's best to
just use 'example.com' for dummy domain names.
> URL Prefix:
http://your-site.com/
Ditto. And by the way, there was no hyphen when you first
used this!

Need help setting up Lion Server

Here's my story... I got a 2006 Xserve for free. It has 2 dual core 2.66 Xeons, 4 GB of RAM, and 2 300 GB SAS drives that I have turned into a RAID 1 array. I've installed OS X Lion Server on it and all is running okay. My OS X Server knowledge is slim to none. I do a little work with it at my job, but our main servers are Windows. I'd like to set it up as a DHCP and Open Directory server at home, just for fun. My home network consists of this Xserve, my 27" iMac, a MacBook Pro, an Xbox, a Samsung TV, a couple of iPads and our iPhones.
I go from my Charter modem, to my AirPort Extreme, and then broadcast wirelessly to my other devices, and have my Xserve plugged into port 1.
To get DHCP working, do I need to go from my modem to my Xserve, and then from my Xserve to the WAN port on my AirPort Extreme? Or do I just need to configure something?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

If you have just Lion Server installed, go here for the rest of the tools:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1528
This will include Server Admin. It will allow you to define DHCP, DNS, and other services not available in Lion's Server.app.
You networking knowledge will apply here. It sounds like you want to use the Xserve as the NAT gateway. This is possible, but you will need Server Admin to make it easier.

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

Need help setting up LDAP server for Address Book

I've set up Panther servers before for AFP which is pretty simple but now the office I work at wants me to setup an LDAP server so they can share the same contact information, probably about 2,000+ entries. I'm guessing that this will have to be entered in the LDAP server entry by entry.
I need to know how to setup the server and what settings need to be on the clients' computers, such as in Address Book.
The server is an older G4 tower and I've got 8 computers hooked up to it on a simple network. I don't think I'll need to make the LDAP server accessible from outside the network but it's something I'll have to worry about for the future.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

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!

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.

Help setting up ssh (putty) in 2821 routers

I am trying to use ssh for the the 2821 routers. They have IOS 12.3(11)(k9) on it.
So, these are the steps that I do:I add a new user name with no AAA model. And I give the user name privilege level 15(I also gave it 0, but nothing). The routers already have a hostname, and I add the domain-name. So After these commands, I create the key, using crypto key generate command.
So after this, I go into putty, type the ip addres, set-up for 3des encryption.
I am able to make a connection to the router, asking me for the login name and password, but when I typed the username and password, it response, "Access Denied"
any comments or anything will help. Thanks

Try using SSH Version 1. Most of the "older" Cisco hardware / IOS can only connect with Version 1.
SSH1 has been broken, but it's still much more secure than Telnet.
Good Luck

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

Help setting up BT vision+ box alongside Sky digib...

Can anyone help?
I got a BT vision+ box free with my renewed broadband subscription. I already have sky, cant access freeview ( live in a terrible reception area) and I don't have a rooftop aerial. I understand that I can't use the BT vision+ box to get freeview, I only want to use it to access iplayer and 4OD etc on my TV. Is there anyway to hook the sky digibox and the BTvision+ box up to my TV?
The TV is HD/digital ready with two scart and two HDMI connections at the rear. One scart connection goes to the sky box and one to the DVD-R which I currently use to record from sky (it records on AV2). Neither HDMI slot is in use.
The manual which came with the BT vision+ box says I can use the HDMI slot and connect it to the vision+ box - but as I dont have an aerial to connect the BT vision+ box to, I wonder if it would work? As far as I know, the iplayer comes through the BT home hub, so do I need the aerial connection if I wont be trying to access freeview? I don't want to start messing around with the current configuration in case it all stops working, or I banjax the BT vision+ box.
If anyone can advise the right connection configuration, I'd be very grateful!

Need help setting up FTP server.

I have a networked video server that converts analog video from my security cameras to mpeg, it has an internal FTP client that I have pointed to a share on my server, with the correct login info. This will all occur on my intranet and if possible I do not want FTP open to the internet. I can not connect to the server via FTP. Any advice would be appreciated.

John, this is all very vague.
What is your FTP software? or if inbuilt to the OS, which OS is it? Mac, Windows, other?
When you say you can't connect to the FTP box, is this using your "Video server" (What OS is it)?
Have you tried using another machine to connect to your server?
More info please...

Sky Player for Xbox 360 - Lots of errors when stre...

Whenever I'm watching Sky Player I keep getting buffer messages saying "Your internet speed has changed. You can change the quality of your video by pressing RB or LB while watching TV".
It always defaults to "High" because of my (supposedly) fast internet connection, but I always have to reduce it to Medium, or even Low last night.
I'm also getting a ton of problems trying to watch BT Vision on demand (picture constantly freezing, stopping, buffering etc).
I've ran another speed test this morning to find out what is going on, and I suddenly have no QoS on my line any more;

With my old 20cn line I had absolutely no issues with Sky Player running on full resolution, so I'm a little bit distressed that my supposedly better connection now causes it to run so badly.
Any chance of a mod taking a look at my account to see if anything can be done about this? I've asked before but haven't had anyone reply yet.

You connection appears to be fine for streaming.
A couple of things to check.
How is your Xbox connected to your Hub, if wireless then tried wired.
Use the following program http://www.metageek.net/ select downloads and choose Inssider. Download to your PC and check for any other wireless signals, find out the channels they are broadcasting on and change your HUB if it conflicts with any. Note this will only help if your are connected wirelessly.
If your problem is not resolved with any of these, then it can only be down to possibly Sky, they have been heavily pushing Sky player and perhaps their servers are overloaded.
