Home LAN access

A couple of weeks ago, I opened my wife's iPhoto library with my home LAN. I copied some photos to it and exited.
Recently I opened her iPhoto library again (from my computer) - and saw most of the events and folders were empty - except for the pictures I copied over.
I went upstairs and opened iPhoto on her machine. The folders and events now have her photos on it.
So I infer that we each have separate photos in her iPhoto library. How do I stop this from happening, so that we share the same iPhoto library photos?

What you're probably running into is ownership issues. The best way for two users or Macs to access the same library is to have that library on an external HD with itsset to be ignored as outlined in this Apple document: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users.
Although the article is about users on the same Mac it applies to multiple Macs.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Adding wireless to home LAN w/ WRT54G2

I have a home LAN composed of ethernet cables and two Linksys Etherfast 10/100 5-port workgroup switches. This setup is about 6 years old and has always worked fine, has never been updated since original setup.
Now I need to replace the ethernet card in my son's desktop computer, and since he will probably be getting a laptop soon with wireless, I figured this would be a good time to add wireless to our network. I've never worked with any wireless network stuff before, so just bought what the guy at Staples recommended: a Linksys Wireless-G PCI card to replace my son's ethernet card, and a Linksys WRT54G2 Wireless-G Broadband Router.
We are not using the Router for an internet connection; we live too far from town for cable, and don't want Embarq DSL, so our only internet connection is by dial-up through my computer (connection shared with the kids through our LAN).
All I want this new wireless stuff for is to let my son connect to our existing LAN via wireless.
Problem 1: all of the setup instructions seem to assume that we are connecting to the internet by cable or DSL and that this will go through the new router. As noted above, we're not doing that.
Problem 2: when I try to do the initial setup from the included CD, it keeps giving me errors. The errors are different depending on whether my computer is connected to the internet via dial-up when I run the setup:
2a) if my computer is connected to the internet via dial-up when I run setup, the error message comes during the first step (Check Connection) and says "Error 301: Internal Error" - unfortunately, there does not seem to be any reference for me to look up Error 301 and see what this actually means.
2b) if my computer is not connected to the internet when I run setup, then setup progresses OK through the Check Connection step without error and goes on to the Install Router step. Since I am not connecting to the internet through this router, I cannot follow the instructions exactly as given (since they assume a cable or DSL connection through the router), but I do the rest of it and connect the router to my computer's ethernet port with the included cable, then plug in the router. Setup shows a "waiting for router" message for about two minutes, then terminates with the error message: "Your new router does not appear to be connected properly. Error 322: New Router Not Detected." (The green LEDs light up showing that the router recognizes an ethernet connection in LAN port 1, but the setup program doesn't seem to be aware of this somehow?)
Problem 3: I thought that I might be able to just skip the above by giving my web browser the address 192.168.1.1 and going into the router's internal setup that way. No such luck; although the router is connected to my computer and is powered on, my browser says the requested page is Not Found.
Is this even the right product for what I am trying to do - add wireless to our existing LAN? Or is this only intended for connection through a cable or DSL modem to the internet,as all of the instructions seem to assume?
Any help for dealing with above error problems and getting this thing working?

You did not want a wireless router. You wanted a wireless access point. Wireless routers are made to share the internet connection. That's what the standard installation procedure on the CD does. Anything else must be done manually.
You can use the access point in the WRT to add wireless to your existing LAN. The basic instructions are here.
In your scenario the first router is your dial-up computer with internet sharing. It uses IP address 192.168.0.1 by default. An available LAN IP address for the WRT would be 192.168.0.2 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
To change it, you should unplug the WRT from everything. Connect a single computer by wire to the WRT. Do not use your dial-up/internet-sharing computer for that. This other computer should automatically get an IP address from the WRT and now you should be able to access http://192.168.1.1/ In the setup change the LAN IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.2. On the same page also turn off the DHCP server. Now save the settings. You'll loose the connection.
Now rewire everything back. The WRT is hooked up by one of its numbered LAN ports to your LAN! Do not use the internet port of the WRT! That should do it. Now wireless computers can connect through the WRT into your LAN and through that to your dial-up and internet.

Thinkpad not visible in Home-LAN

I have connected my new Thinkpad model T61p to my Home-LAN. All computers can see and modify all drives of all other computers except the new Thinkpad. There no other drives are to be seen and vice versa all other computers do not see the Thinkpad. Naturally all computers have the same workgroup name.
I need a hint which access adjustment in my Thinkpad I have to change to get the desired visibility.
My Thinkpad operating system: MS XP Home. Access to Internet works fine.

tillus43, welcome to the forum,
I'm guessing that you have set up a profile in Access Connections. If I am right you need to change the network security settings to allow file and printer sharing in the Additional Settings.
IMO this is a great feature of AC as you can simply override the windows file sharing when creating a profile in an open network.

How to screen share a Tiger iBook from a Leopard iMac outside my home LAN

Okay, I have recently installed Tiger on my girlfriends G3 iBook, and I am able to control it from my iMac via Screensharing, but so far I have only tried this while they are both on my home network, (the iBook is using an ethernet connection from my iMac which itself is connected to the internet via Airport)
What I am hoping someone can do for me is to give me step by step guide on how I would control the iBook when it is connected to the internet outside my home LAN.
I have seen a tutorial for Chicken Of The VNC, but I am still in the dark as to whether I need to install this on my Leopard iMac, or on the Tiger iBook. I am also concerned about the security risks inherent in doing this, so I would like to learn how make a secure connection from the outside world.
I am completely clueless when it comes to port forwarding, or anything to do with ports for that matter,
I would be massively grateful if someone could talk me through this.

The easy way is to use something like LogMeIn.com, YuuGuu.com, CoPilot.com, Timbuktu, TeamViewer.com. Some of these are free for non-commercial use.
They figure out how to deal with home routers, and provide encrypted connections. The down side is that they are not always fast.
Using a secure VNC connection tends to involve either setting up a VPN server on the remote system, or using ssh tunnels. I'm an ssh tunnel person myself, but it has lots of steps.
a) Enable Sharing -> Remote Login on the remote system (enables ssh logins).
a.1) give the remote system a secure password.
b) enable the VNC server on the remote system (Sharing -> Apple Remote Desktop)
b.1) Via Apple Remote Desktop configuration, give VNC access a password.
b.2) Optionally use a different VNC server, for example Vine Server.
c) Configure the remote system's home router to "Forward Port 22" from the internet to the target system.
d) Using something like whatismyip.com get the internet visible IP address of the remote system.
d.1) optionally get a free dyndns.org or no-ip.com dynamic domain name and run a dynamic DNS update client on the remote system.
e) On your system, start an ssh connection to the remote system
ssh -l user -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 remote.sys.ip.addr
Password: ........
f) Use your VNC client to connect to the ssh tunnel using
127.0.0.1:5900
as the ssh tunnel address.
g) Enter the remote system's VNC password (separate from the ssh username password).
I have left out a lot of details. But knowing the steps, you can most likely do google lookups to get the details you need.

HOME LAN CONNECTION PROBLEM

HOME LAN CONNECTION PROBLEM
I set up a 2 unit home net with a Linksys WRT54G Router, One PC hardwired to Port 1 and a Notebook conected via the wireless port. Both PC are Pentium and WXPPRO.
When I try to browse the local workgroup ("MICASA") I get the following error message: "You have no access to "WorkGroup". You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The server list for this workgroup is not accessible at this moment."
Wireless has MAC filter enabled and security disabled
I restricted DHCP adresses to only 2 => 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.1.101
Win XP Pro Firewall is disabled in both PC
I worked as ADMIN with proper password in both boxes. Full file security enabled.
Shared both C disks with proper local and share permits.
In registry both PCs have: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Lsa/"restrictanonimous"=0
I could see both PCs in "my network places" for a couple of days, with full and proper file sharing, and then both pc's dissapeared. Both PC's access internet properly.
The obnoxious message listed at the beginning began appearing when I click "Workgroup" in "my network places". I tried everything, including unsetting and re-setting file sharing for C disks. Nothing happens.
The W2K Resource Kit Browser Monitor reports no brouser on the LAN.
I can ping one adress from the other and I can log onto the other box shares by typing the name in Windows Explorer (\\Pentium or \\PCdeLidia)
Any clue will be welcome

Thank you, timelord.
I checked the Node setting (ipconfig /all) and it is "broadcast".
So, I decided to start all over again.
1) I un-shared all shares in both computers (The notebook and the desktop).
2) I reset the linksys router and used the Linksys setup wizard to reconfigure it from 0 (cero) - dropped (disabled) ALL security - Left only admin setup password - Changed the workgroup SSID from "MyHome" To "Home" - just to be sure.
3) Run network setup wizard in desktop (WXP Pro). Sharing Printers and files enabled.
4) Stopped and Disabled the WXP firewall in the Desktop (it was disabled, but the network wizard enables it and leaves it running)
5) Rebooted the Desktop
6) At this point, I finally could browse the local lan and see my desktop listed
  My Network Places / All the Net / Microsoft Windows Network / "Home" / "Pentium" (my desktop)
7) Went over to the notebook and re-checked all file-sharing was off, then I erased the WI-FI profile in it (uses the Intel wizard), changed the workgroup name from "My Home" to "Home", Rebooted it and connected it to the Wi-Fi "Home" net that was detected. ALL security disabled, including WXP Firewall.
8) Now, the whole net is visible from both PC's
  My Network Places / All the Net / Microsoft Windows Network / "Home" / "Pentium" (my desktop)
  My Network Places / All the Net / Microsoft Windows Network / "Home" / "PCdeLidia" (my wife's notebook)
9) I enabled a couple of shares in both machines and I could browse them and connect to them
10) Finally, all goes to hell: I shut-off both PCs and the LinkSys router. Then I powered the linksys, and then the Desktop. The notebook still OFF. And Voilá, same awful post:
"You have no access to "WorkGroup". You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. The server list for this workgroup is not accessible at this moment."
I'm not even able to see myself.
One tip: I used the browser monitor from W2K. Before, I was able to see 3 (three) lines listed, no browser. Unfortunately, i did not write it down. Now I can see only the following 2 (two) lines:
MiCasa \Device\NetBT_TCPIP_ {€ unknown (Not an Euro sign, something like that)
MiCasa \Device\NwlnkNb         unknown
Now I have to quit, no more time, I'll continue later and keep you posted
Thank you again

Cisco ASA 5505 VPN help for local lan access.

Hi all,
I am very new to Cisco systems. Recently I was tasked to enable local lan access for one of my server. The problem is this. I have this server with 2 interfaces. One interface to my FTP server(192.168.2.3) and the other to the Cisco ASA(192.168.1.1). Whenever I connect the server to Cisco Anyconnect VPN, I am unable to access the FTP server anymore.
I googled and found out that the problem is because the metric level is 1 for Ciscoanyconnect network interface which causes all traffic to go through the Cisco VPN Interface. Another problem is I can't change the metric of the Cisco VPN Interface as whenever I reconnect to the VPN, the metric resets back to 1 again. I tried to follow some guides to configure split tunnel but my traffic is still going through the VPN connection.
Anyone can tell me what I am missing here? Sorry I am very new to Cisco systems. Spent about 5 days troubleshooting and I feel I am getting it soon. Anyone can guide me what else I am supposed to do?
What I did> Configuration>> Remote access VPN>> Network Client Access>> Group Policies>> Advanced>> Split Tunneling>> Uncheck Inherit and select "Exclude Network List below.>> Uncheck Network List and select Manage, Add 192.168.2.0/24 to permit.
Really appreciate if anyone can tell me what else I can do to ensure my server has access the my FTP Server after connecting to the VPN.
Thanks all!
Wen Qi

Hi,
Try adding the following configuration
policy-map global_policy
class inspection_default
inspect pptp
And then try again.
I'm not 100% would you need to perhaps allow GRE through the firewall even after that. (Protocol 47)

How to make IIS on Windows 7 visible from outside my home LAN

Guidance Needed: How to make IIS on Windows 7 visible from outside my home LAN.
I am building a learning/demo ASP.NET website on this Win7 PC, using VS2008.
I would like to share the website with a client/friend, so I need my local IIS to be visible from outside the home LAN.
This PC is behind a Netgear WGR614 router, which has a static IP address assigned by my ISP.
I have set up port forwarding on the router; port 80 is HTTP.
I can see the website as http://localhost/ and also as http://192.168.0.2 from other PCs inside the LAN.
Ping works from outside, but not http. What am I missing?

Hi,
Since this question is related to IIS and we have specific support for IIS related issues or questions, it is also recommended that you go to IIS Forum for help.
Hope this helps. Thanks.

Transparent Tunneling and Local Lan Access via VPN Client

Remote users using Cisco VPN 4.2 connect successfully to a Cisco Pix 515 (ver. 6.3). The client is configured to allow Transparent Tunneling and Local Lan access, but once connected to the Pix, these two options are disabled. What configuration changes are required on the Pix to enable these options? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Mike Bowyer

Hi Mike,
"Transparent Tunneling" and "Local Lan Access" are two different things. "Transparent Tunneling" is dealing with establishing an IPSec Tunnel even if a NAT device is between your client and the VPN-Headend-Device. "Local LAN Access" is dealing with access to devices in the LAN your VPN-Client-Device is connected to.
What do you mean exactly with "disabled once the connection is made" ?
You can check the local LAN Access by having a look at the Route-Table of the VPN-Client:
Right Click the yellow VPN-lock Icon in System-Tray while the VPN-Connection is active and select "Statistics ...". Have a look at the second register page "route details".
Are any local LAN routes displayed when your are connected ?
And - always remember two important restrictions the Online Help of the VPN-Client is mentioning:
1: This feature works only on one NIC card, the same NIC card as the tunnel.
2: While connected, you cannot print or browse the local LAN by name; when disconnected, you can print and browse by name.
Carsten
PS: Removing Split Tunnel won't enable local LAN access as all traffic would be sent into the IPSec tunnel.

Problems sharing across two computers on home lan

I must be doing something basic wrong. The instructions for sharing a downloaded digital edtion sound very easy in the help manual but following those directions I am not able to share a book across two computers on my home lan.
Both computers have been authorized by my user id. When I open the menu item on Library menu/Authorize computer
I'm told the computer is authorized and my UID is shown. However when I attempt to `add' the book I get a message saying:
> This document cannot be opened on this machine.
> Please contact the site where you obtained the document
> to download another copy.
I just bought the book today not more than 2 hrs ago
The `knowledgbase' help for digital editions is completely useless and returns no hits regardless of what I type in the search field.
What else do I need to do to share a book across two home computers?

Harry
You shouldn't need anything else. The common problems (after you have gotten past the authorization) for sharing are:
- You copy over the .etd file instead of the .pdf file.
- You copy over the .pdf file from /Digital Editions/ebx_backup instead of /Digital Editions. (My best guess, given the error message).
- The file was purchased with only rights to view it on a single machine.
The not so common and more worrisome case would be if the License was not being correctly written into the file after you purchase it.
I would suggest that after verifying you are copying the correct file, you should open up a web support case, so that Bentley can track this, and help us gather all the correct information so we can figure out what is going on.
Sorry you're having problems

Error creating home directory - Access is denied.

Hi,
I am getting one issue on the task while provisioning homedrive and homedirectory on AD resource.
Error creating home directory '\\rusehf06\home\rc9782rf': ': Access is denied
Please help. Thanks in advance.

These error messages are typically pretty obvious with permission errors. It's getting the correct permissions that is the challenge. I would suggest you start by adding the user whom is in your IT Resource for Active Directory into the local administrators group for the server you are trying to create the folder on. Also, consult with your AD Admins to get it resolved the quickest most likely. Their skill set will be better than what we can provide.

[SOLVED] PPPoA (MS VPN?) - Alcatel SpeedTouch Home LAN

Hello,
how do I connect to Internet using this type of ADSL modem - Alcatel SppedTouch Home LAN? Well, this one quite sucks you can say... Thats right, but my isp is still using annex a format on our local loop, so I cannot use any newer modems. All are annex b (like zyxels). In that case, I would have 4 port router, just plug-in, let it assign me ip with dhcp and roll...
I googled and searched forums, but didn't find anything of use (many HOWTOS etc, but noting worked...). I found /etc/ppp/peers type of scripts even for this type of modem, but it was usb variant. I have lan variant.

Hi,
ok, here it is, but I always used DHCP (on winxp). Modem gave me some ip in range 10.0.0.x.
# NETWORKING
HOSTNAME="david"
# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available
# interfaces.
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
# - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
# - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
# Note: to use DHCP, set your interface to be "dhcp" (eth0="dhcp")
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
# - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
# - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
#NET_PROFILES=(main)
Using this and connecting modem to eth0 gives me inet addr:10.0.0.2.
Anyway, I'm damn sure problem is not this...
Btw, few minutes back I came across this:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mic … pptpclient
Can't this be my solution? I'll have to check it when I have more time.
Anyway, thanx.

BT home hub access from outside LAN

I have set up my home hub so that I can access my Nas from outside my LAN, this works fine.
My problem is I need to access my home hub settings and set up proxy settings so that I can access BBC iplayer etc as I am abroad for the next few weeks and I forgot to do it before I left.
Whenever I try to connect to the hub I go straight to the Nas
How can I get to the home hub without being at home to change the settings ?

I had the same problem, using Firefox. My home network was working fine until BT installed a new homehub and it took a little while for me to discover the problem: an IP Address conflict. My previous Router used the stanard http://192.168.0.1 address, whereas the BT Homehub uses http://192.168.1.254. Ordinarily that wouldn't matter, except that I have TP-Link wireless access unit on the FreeSat box, which just happens to have the same default address used by BT.
I changed the IP address on the TP-Link unit and the BT Homehub pages now respond instantly.
Hope this helps.

Permitting access accross a home (LAN? ethernet?) network - how?

I have a Cube, to which 2 hard drives are attached by firewire.
I have a PowerBook and Tower linked to the Cube by a local (home) network. All run OSX 10.4.8; all can be connected and appear on the Finder sidebar. the PowerBook, for ex, can 'see' and read/write the hard drives.
On the Cube I connect to the PowerBook, and under users, it says that one (the major one) account is not permitted to me. If I connect to that account specifically, I can read everything in it.
Question 1: What do I change on the PowerBook or its account(s) so that I can read the whole user account folder across the network?
Now, I pull up Silverkeeper, and tell it to back up stuff from a networked machine to a hard drive. It tells me that the receiving hard drive doesn't like permission restrictions, so I tell it to ignore them. It still doesn't copy everything - permissions at the source, I think. Oh, this error message occurred only after I re-initialized the whole hard drive. Must have been set up, by default, then.
The Mac Help folder tells me about this issue, and says I shouldn't use the "ignore" option for back-ups.
So to my questions:
Question 2: How do I set the permissions, so that the hard drives are acceptable to the other machines, in terms of permissions, access, etc.
Question 3: Where do I find a rational discussion, however long, that covers these issues of setting/granting permissions across a home network? I have no dedicated OSX Server here.
I would be happy to continue searching, but even with the search function, I'm not finding what I think I need. (Must be I'm using the wrong words

Accessing the various user folders across the network works the same as it does on the machine itself - if you don't log in to an account you are not supposed to be able to see into it (logging in as a guest will allow access to the public folders). Permissions on an external drive don't usually count for much, since just about anyone can check that 'ignore' box (although the drive won't mount at all in an account that has no access privileges). The system sometimes doesn't like to copy certain items from a user account, but copying (or creating an encrypted disk image) from within the user account and then moving it to the external drive should work OK.

How to share internet access from iPhone with home LAN

Hello,
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I just bought an iPhone and am trying to use it to provide internet access to a LAN at my cottage where only dial-up is possible with my ISP. Although this is easily accomplished by enabling internet sharing on my iMac and plugging it into my router's WAN port, I do not have any access to my IP printer or to my SONOS music system. Any pointers?
Thanks,
Martin Girard

Well, getting internet access for my iMac is straightforward using USB tethering (I live in Canada, no AT&T crap). Then, I can share this connection with other computers (via ethernet in my case) by enabling internet sharing (in the Sharing control panel). My problem is that once I plug my iMac in the WAN port of my router, I can't access my LAN anymore. Any ideas???
