Help with Windows Sharing Please

Hello,
I am new to Mac and this is my first mac book 17 running Mac OS X 10.4.8 pro i've purchased through work. I only recieved this 2 days ago. I am having a problem connecting to my windows 2003 active server / domain controller at work and I am having a problem connecting to my windows xp computer share at home when i take my laptop home with me.
At work I am connecting to my network via wired built in ethernet with the following ip
IP - 10.43.144.190
SN - 255.255.240.0
GW - 10.43.144.2
DNS1 - 10.43.144.80 - This is my primary Domain controller DNS
DNS2 - 10.43.144.81 - This is my secondary Domain controller DNS
I also have parralels installed running windows xp for my proprietary software that only run on xp with the following address
IP - 10.43.144.191
SN - 255.255.240.0
GW - 10.43.144.2
DNS1 - 10.43.144.80 - This is my primary Domain controller DNS
DNS2 - 10.43.144.81 - This is my secondary Domain controller DNS
the only difference is that my ip has change.
The problem that i am having is when i go to the finder and network i see all my computers on the network even my windows server. but it won't let me connect. i get an error the the alias no longer exsits do i want to fix or delete.
So i try installing directory access plug-in via directory access and when i go to connect to my domain controller i get an error that it cannot find or resolve my domain name.
Know if your familiar with stupid windows in order for you to connect to AD your computer must be able to resolve the domain name via DNS. to when i go to ping my domain name eg. my.company.com i get an error cannot resolve. but when i ping the ip address it sees the server.
So the first problem that i see with mac is that for some reason it resolves the ip address but i need it to resolve the domain name, and i can't for the life of me figure out how to do this.
and if your answer is to modify the hosts file - i tried that and if your familiar with windows networking that won't work on windows machines either - again STUPID WINDOWS.
So in short how do i connect to my 2003 AD Server.
The reason i know that my laptop will connect to my domain is that remember i installed parralels on this macbook with windows xp. well guess what - you got it, I connect to my domain. so i know that it isn't a hardware issue or a network issue its a mac issue.
Finally i am having the same problem at home connecting to my network via the airport. I see my computer but cannot connect to my computer with windows xp shares. Any suggestions?
If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated. I tried calling MAC support and they were no use. They said they were transfering my problem to the engineers. and then they said that they couldn't help me becuase its beyond their scope of repairs. but if its a mac os x problem how can it be beyond their repair? I mean come on I purchased this mac for work, told by the sales man that i would have no problems and that mac support is there for me if i cannot connect but they seem like they aren't. I could've went and purchased a dell and not have this headache of connecting to my server of workstation.
Again sorry for the ranting but if anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated

Not to sure how to direct you with your issue at home, but here is some help with the server at work.
As I know it, you have two routes. You are obviously (to me) familiar with networking so you might already know that you can install File Services for Macintosh on the server. It's a component of Windows Server that allows you to connect Macs via AFP to the server. Just install it, share a folder and connect via AFP. Easy, but the drawback is that you are limited to 31 character filename lengths on the Mac share.
I am assuming you want to stay SMB. For that, you need to disable SMB signing on the server via a Group Policy. Here is a link describing that:
http://simultaneouspancakes.com/Lessons/archives/2004/12/howtodisable.shtml
Also, Microsoft has an article on binding a Mac to the domain. It's not necessary, but you can do it if you want to get Active Directory working between the Mac and the server. It will require that the long username for an Admin user on the Mac be exactly the same as a user on the Windows network. If it's different, it won't bind.
I don't know how that will affect your laptop when in use at home.
Hope that helps.

Help with access control please

So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!

Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

BASIC Help With Windows 8.1 tablet

I just bought the HP Stream 7 tablet. I'm an experienced computer user (since the early '80s). My desktop runs Windows 7. I have used an Android tablet for more than a year. This tablet is my first experience with Windows 8. I installed the Classic Shell so I could navigate in a more familiar setting, and this has helped somewhat. I also installed the driver for a wireless Logitech mouse, and that helps. But there is SO MUCH that confuses me about -- is the tablet or Windows 8.1 or both? -- this system, that I need some guidance. Two examples: Internet Explorer always displays pages that I don't want, yet closing those pages is not always successful. And then there's getting access to the keyboard. Sometimes just tapping into box where I should enter some text displays the keyboard. Often I can tap and tap and.....but no keyboard appears. I have looked at both the quick-start guide and the user manual, but they don't help me. Maybe I'm overlooking some obvious things, and maybe I've just become too impatient to solve these issues. I imagine I could search the Net to find some help, but I'm hoping that someone in this forum can point me toward Web pages that will help. Thanks.
J...

To the best of my knowledge, mouse input in metro apps does not load the on screen keyboard (OSK). Whereas touch does. Having the mouse connected before the app loads is likely causing the app to recognize the mouse as the primary input device.
As I don't know the exact app in question to really reproduce the problem I downloaded a few of the top crossword apps and tested them.
Each of the apps I installed performed in this way:
Booting the device without a mouse connected resulted in the OSK loading.
Booting the device without a mouse connected, loading the app and connecting the mouse resulted in the OSK failing to load.
Booting the device with the mouse connected resulted in the OSK failing to load.
Booting the device with the mouse connected, loading the app and disconnecting the mouse resulted in the OSK failing to load. (Reloading the app resumed OSK functionality.)
This would confirm my earlier assumption that metro apps do not load the OSK with input devices connected, but was a surprise that disconnecting the mouse required me to restart the app before the OSK would work in the app again. It would appear to me after testing this in multiple apps on multiple machines (including a non-HP device) that this is simply the way WIndows 8 metro apps work.

Help with Wireless thingy Please!!!

Hi, could someone please help with this? I am quite computer literate except when it comes to anything wireless or networking as it is something I've never used, so heres the problem - I bought ATV, and put a wireless card in the computer - do i need a seperate router to create a network? ATV searches for a network, and finds one, but I am not sure its mine!! ATV not coming up in itunes. Ive tried everything, but its just not happening. If I need a router, fine I'll get one, but if not could I have some instructions please?!!!! Like what on earth do I put in if adding network to atv manually? How do I know what my network name is? Tried with firewalls disabled, and added ports 3689 and 5353 to exceptions. Bearing in mind I need translations for things like DHCP etc! Its a Belkin Wireless G+ Network Card, compatible with ATV. Please help as this is the only thing standing between me and music heaven!!thankyou!

On a mac you could create an ad hoc network with a mac with wi-fi card only and internet sharing enabled, I've not done it and I don't know whether one has the choice to name the network or whether it will be identified as the mac's network name. I guess you will need advice from a PC guy as to whether this can be done on a PC, but my guess is that it can.

Help with photo albums Please

Hi, i really need some help with my pictures, I've only got a very basic understanding of how my phone works and have somehow put a load of albums on my phone when i plugged it into the computer-I want to delete some of them off the phone but cannot work out how to do it, when i plug my phone in i can find the photo tab but cannot actually see the pictures and can't see any delete button!!! Please can someone help me, basic explanations would be gratefully recieved xxxx

The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To remove photos, synced to your phone, remove the check marks next to the albums/folders under the photos tab in itunes & hit the apply/sync button. They will be removed from your phone. You cannot delete photos that were synced to your phone, directly on your phone. The easiest way to manage photos synced to your phone is to create albums or folders on your computer. Move whatever photos you want on your phone into these albums/folders & then select them under the photos tab in itunes to sync to your phone. You can then remove or add photos to these various albums/folders on your computer & the itunes sync process will update your phone every time you sync.

Help with Validation Problem Please

I don't understand this validation and don't know how to fix it. I have checked my other websites and they seem fine. I don't think I have done anything different The link for the website ishttp://www.greenpatchwebsites.com/pow/index.html
and the validator is http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.greenpatchwebsites.com%2Fpow%2Findex.html&charset=%2 8detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0
Please can you help.
Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks for that. I have tried it on a new page: http://www.greenpatchwebsites.com/pow/newtest.html and here is the validator :
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=www.greenpatchwebsites.com%2Fpow%2Fnewtest.html&charset= %28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0&No200=1- unfortunately loads of errors
I also tried the recommended template:
Use the following markup as a template to create a new XHTML 1.0 document using a proper DOCTYPE. See the list below if you wish to use another document type.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"

but was getting errors with that. As you can tell, I need serious help with this. Which doc type should I be using

Thanks very much again in advance.

Need help with Windows on Bootcamp vs. Parallels

Hello,
I installed windows 7 on a boot camp partition of my hard drive. I also installed windows 7 on Parallels with the same activation key (afterwards).
The activation key is legit, or at least should be, I bought it online.
The issue I'm having after 30 days of use is this: The parallels version of windows is telling me my version of windows isn't 'genuine', I get a black background, but can still use windows and parallels fine.
The boot camp version of windows... (the version I installed first) is running fine, no 'not genuine' messages.
Here are my questions:
1. Am I getting the error because I have 2 versions installed with the same key?
2. The software I need to run is running better on parallels than on boot camp (the interface and resolution look more appropriate and it's just easier to use). I'd like to just delete the entire boot camp partition. Will doing so solve my issue with windows, or should I deactivate windows on that side first?
3. If I should deactivate windows 7 on my boot camp partition, how do I do that?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm not running bootcamp through paralells so I have installed two copies.
Can you tell me what the M$ IVR line is, do you just mean customer service?
Something interesting is that when I checked my code with Microsoft it said that "The product ID number that you entered is not supported in the country that you have selected." Does this ring bells or mean anything to anyone? Does it mean the key was pirated, or just intended for sale in a different country? I bought it from a software retailer online, and I'm assuming it's legit because it runs fine on the bootcamp side. So I'm wondering if this error message could be related to the double install or what?
Can someone provide me a link instructing how to delete the bootcamp partition? Is that a pretty straight forward process?
Thanks

K9N SLI Platinum MS7250 ver1.1 ... need help with Windows 7 install

Hello,
Having an intermittant issue with Windows 7 32bit. During startup Windows 7 gets stuck at the logo screen. Not always though. Every 7-8th reboot it will make it past and go all the way into Windows 7. I've tried all sorts of combinations of "ebabling/disabling". This system ran XP professional for 3 years without any issues. Currently, I have the most luck by connecting the keyboard and mouse to PS2 and leaving USB disabled. This may not be the issue though. Once I got Win7 to boot I performed driver updates etc.
If someone has suggestions please let me know. I'm about to try the USB bios flash but have never done it before.
Thank you,
BK
CPU: AMD 64 x2 5000+

Motherboard: K9N SLI Platinum MS7250 ver1.1

Hi Guys,
Thank you for the replies.
- Yes it is a fresh install of Windows7 on a drive that originally had XP Pro
- If I boot into safe mode it does go into Win7 most of the time.
- I posted on the MSI tech support page (http://support.msi.com/index.php) and the response was to upgrade the BIOS. What do you think?
- I've been using this graphics card for three years and is nowhere near as powerful as what's out there now. In fact all of the components are three years old except the RAM
- I tried the old RAM (2GB Corsair) and it also had the same issue. Even at default RAM settings or otherwise. Now I'm back to the 4GB Patriot Vipers.
- What is this capacitor problem people are referring to? Is it a problem specifically on this model board?
Thank you..
BK

Need help with session sharing in WebCenter Portal

Hi, How can I share session between a WebCenter Portal application and the portlets it is consuming?
Basically I want this for authentication. In the portal framework application, I'm setting a user object in the session, How can I get the object in a portlet?

Help with button code please?

I am a novice and have just completed my first animated movie. I need help with action script.
The movie is currently looped and I have created and invisible button the size of the frame with the intention that a user can click on the movie image to stop it and on second click continue the movie from where it stopped.
I have used the AS event handler method to stop the movie. I have tested it and it works. But I cannot figure suitable code to restart the movie.
Two questions;
1. am I going about the task the right way? (should I use two buttons, one stop, one start)?
2. if my approach is feasible, can anyone give me the correct AS to re-start the movie and put me out of my misery please?

you can use the following after changing "yourbutton" and "yourmovieclip" to use suitable instance names:
yourbutton.onRelease=function(){
if(!this.toggle){
yourmovieclip.stop();
} else {
yourmovieclip.play();
this.toggle=!this.toggle;

Help with Required fields-PLEASE

I have been attempting to get help with a required field and one of the forum helpers said he got it to work for me but I cannot and I have not been able to get any more responses from him to help me further.
I am attempting to have a radio box when the YES is selected to require another field to be completed. The script I was provided with is:
getField("Location").required = (getField("Group1").value == "Yes");
Location being the field that I require to be filled in if Group 1 is Yes. The previous forum helper indicated that I had to have this script in both fields in Group 1 and when I do that, nothing different happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Please, I need to fix this right away and I will be using this java script on many other forms that I have so I need to get this done soon.
Thank you in advance.

Wht you want can get somewhat complicated. One way to prevent subsequent fields from being used is to set them to read-only and/or hidden. You could then use the Validate event of the text field to validate the entry and enable the subsequent fields if it is filled-in adequately. In general, you should also reset the fields whenever you hide them, so they don't contain potentially invalid data from previously being filled-in. So you could initially have the fields set to be hidden, and only unhide them if No is selected, or if Yes is selected and the required text field is filled-in.
I realize this may not be as helpful as you had hoped for, but I can't suggest specific code without knowing more about the form.

HELP with outgoing emails please

Hi there, I need a help with emails on my mac Air, outgoing emails are not working, everything is set OK (all works on my I phone), but when I try to send an email it says: The certificate for this server is invalid. what should I do?

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select My Certificates from the Category list in the sidebar. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
Quit and relaunch Mail. Test. If the problem isn't resolved, continue.
Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
Test again. If the test fails, delete all the certificates again, then reinstall them from fresh copies.

Help with a routine please

Hi experts!
I have a requirement and I need help with an abap routine.
I'm uploading a table from de ECC where each record contains one key figure per fiscal period (wlt01, wlt02,...wlt16). I need to have in a dso a unique key figure (called zwlt for instance) and the 0fiscper infoobject filled with the corresponding period, that is, for each record of the table, I need 16 records in the DSO with zwlt = wltXX and the fiscper = fiscyear&0&XX.
Any help please?
Thanks in advance.

there are multiple ways to handle this.
one way is to use APD to unpivot the data.
or else you can use the following sample code to derive what you want...this code might just hint at the way to proceed.
