Home-network and servers

I'm about to redo the setup in my apartment. Currently I'm running a host-server with a few VPS's. I have 5 IP-addresses at my disposal (dynamic IP, every address with 10-20Mbps upload and they all share 100Mbps down). I need to be running 3 VPS where two of these will share the same user-accounts (this is another matter that I could use some help with, a good and easy way to share this over the network) and one "private" VPS. Since I have 5 IP-addresses my plan was to allow my host-machine it's own external IP (will also use this machine for my VPN), my private VPS it's own external IP as well as one of the other VPS's. The third VPS will have an internal IP and the two remaining IP's will be used for my desktop and my WLAN.
My question is simple. Is this a good setup or will there be some obvious problem (like if I want to add yet another VPS and let the host handle the routing for the traffic to these internal VPS's)? The second question is about that user-sharing setup. I've been reading about it being possible but would appreciate if someone could give me a good link with some information on how to do this.

Hi mrsraz-
One way is through ARD: About Apple Remote Desktop 3.1
For security reasons you will want to connect via VPN. This document has good information and helpful links: Server Admin 10.4 Help: VPN Service Overview

  • I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    I'm currently signed onto my home network and want to go on with another computer but don't remember my password for my network.  Does anyone know where to find this?  It's a password that I set myself, not the one that came with my router.

    It's in your Keychain on the computer you usually use to connect to your network - the "kind" will be "AirPort Network Password".
    Your Keychain can be opened by using the Keychain Access program. It is in your Utilities Folder.
    Open Keychain Access, and type airport in the search field. You will see a number of entries. Choose the one with the name of your wireless network, open it, and check the box next to "show password". Before it reveals itself you will be asked for your login password - the one you use to log in to your MacBook.
    The network password will appear in the box.
    Quit Keychain Access.

  • Home Network and printer sharing with XP and Vista

       I have a home network and printer wired on my PC desktop which runs XP.  My Vista laptop has been connected to internet and printer through the home network for past 6 years flawlessly.  However, since October my Vista laptop cannot
    connect to the network printer, but internet has been working fine. 
       I've tried to uninstall/reinstall, update drivers, connect via TCP/IP but printer isn't located by add printer wizard.  When I plug printer directly into laptop via USB it works fine.  I also have tried another xp desktop in the house
    and that cannot locate the printer also.     Help!
    Thanks in advance,

    Recently I was working on my home Network and lost myPassword for my Home wireless connection. After many attempts, I remembered thepassword and was able to get in. Now the MacBook Pro only works at home on aHard wire connection. I have an additional 9 devices on the same network, allare functioning properly. The Air connection works fine at any other Networksout side the Home connection. I did a PRAM reset, deleted the Network profileand rebuilt in System Preferences. Still unable to connect wireless on Homenetwork. Any Ideas?

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

    I have ipad2, using wifi home network and ios7. Why I cannot play youtube...help!

    You don't download anything at all. The feature is built into the iPhone 4 already. Your carrier has to support the feature and there might be an extra charge to use it.
    You can read about how it works here.

  • Connect Fios to Cat5e home network AND Coax connections?

    My Verizon fios system was recently installed.  My home is wired for a Cat5e home network and standard Coax in all rooms.  The fios system is currently connected to the Coax connections and the TVs and Fios router all work fine.  Problem is that I would also like to use the Cat5e connections for devices that access the internet that don't have wireless capability and are not proximate to the Fios router.  Is it possible to connect the ONT to my Cat5e home network so that I can connect other devices directly to the Cat5e outlets, and keep the existing Coax set-up?
    I understand that the standard Fios set-up only allows using either an Ethernet output or the Coax output, but not both.  Any suggestions?
    One option might be to move the router to the basement (where the equipment is located that I want to connect to the Cat5e network), but then the router will likely be too far from the rest of the house to receive the wireless signal.  In that case, is it possible to connect a wireless router in another location (I have a Belkin wireless router).  Or do I need to get another router from Verizon?

    I just spoke to Verizon Fios Tech Support and they claim that it is NOT possible to use both the Coax and Cat5e connections.  So, for those that have a Cat5e home network, but still want to use th Coax for TV, Verzon says you are out of luck.
    Thats not strickly true but its not bad info either. You cant use both the coax and cat5 at the same time for INTERNET. The coax internet port (moca) is not active at the same time as the ethernet port. However, many systems use the ethernet for internet and coax for TV.
    Depending on how your house is set up this can be accomplished many different ways.
    I would assume that you have some kind of utility closet were all the ethernet cables converge, where you could place the router so that it can connect to all the rooms. Is this correct? If so, is there also a coax connection in there? Again, if so, you could place the verizon router in the closet, connect the coax to the router for the link to verizon and the TV's and then connect the ethernet to the lan for the rest of the house. This would be the simplest way assuming that you have this type of connection available to you. there are many other ways but it would all depend on what you have available to you and how your house wiring is set up

  • N80 home network and WWW

    I have recently purchased an n80 and I am trying to get the home networking and internet functional through my wirless router. So far I have had little success. I have enabled upnp on my d-link router/modem . I have installed The simple center software on my laptop and uploaded files to share. I have setup an access point on my n80 and I have enabled sharing. The shared folders on the n80 have also been selected to share all files. The simple center software has been allowed to operate through xp's firewall. THe only thing I am not sure about is the port forwarding on the router. I have a trigger port and a public port in the applications gateway section of my router . I have entered the ports listed in the simple centers setting section (1900,49153,49154,49152). I have these numbers in both the trigger port and the public port on the TCP protocol.
    Occasionally I can connet to the internet. However when I close the connection down and try to start it up again sometimes it does not work , showing 'unable to perform operation'. The only way to re-establish the connection is to power the router down then backup(reset).
    The same goes for the home networking. I had no success a all on the first day of trying. Went to work. When I came back tried it again and it worked perfectlly ?? Now on the third day it is working ocassionally.
    Anyone else had simmilar problems ? If so any soultions would be appreciated ! The phone itself seems to be pretty glitcy. And battery life isnt the best either. Apart from that eh !

  • Can i use new TC to connect wirelessly to home network and plug my tv into the time capsule for internet connectivity?

    My new tv needs to plug into an ethernet port for internet connectivity. 
    I'm hoping it can plug into my TC however my TC is wirelessly connected to my current home network... how can i get this to work?
    TC version A1470 (i think, brand new)
    Many thanks.
    Ben

    If the TC is connected to a wireless network provided by another Apple router, then the TC extends the network by default, and the Ethernet ports are enabled on the TC.
    If the TC is connected to a third party network wirelessly, then it must have been setup to "join" the wireless network. When the TC is set up this way, the TC becomes a wireless hard drive and nothing more. The Ethernet ports are not enabled when the TC "joins" a wireless network.
    So, a logical first troubleshooting step would be to confirm "how" the TC is currently set up. To do that.....assuming that you are using a current or recent version of AirPort Utility on your Mac.......
    Open AirPort Utility
    Click on the TC icon, then click Edit in the smaller window
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the window
    Check the setting for Network Mode and report on that

  • How to setup once an Airport home network and keep it alive?

    Hello!
    I have the following hardware setup:
    1 - A Macmini 2009, Ethernet wired to my router which allows the connection to the internet;
    2 - An HP Deskjet printer, USB connected to the Macmini;
    3 - My wife's laptop PC, WiFi connected to my Mac.
    My Macmini handles the internet connection the traditionnal way (Ethernet and PPoE) and has a static IP on it.
    (Why a Static IP? Because I run my own Webserver.)
    I set up a WiFi Home Network in order to allow my wife sharing both my Internet Connection and the Printer Connection.
    Everything run well: fast and smooth. The PC has Internet and Printer access.
    Problem is:
    After each restart, I must re-create the Airport home network.
    System Preferences-->Airport doesn't memorize the name, parameters and credentials of this network.
    How can I fix this?
    Many thanks in advance for your replies!
    Best regards
    Gerry

    If your router is wireless, you should probably use the laptop to configure it to take care of the network (i.e. have the router distribute the IP addresses). Then you can connect your computer to it via the LAN port on the router. Otherwise, you would have to set up your computer to "share its Internet connection" (via Preferences/Sharing or Preferences/Network not sure). I don't think you need to create a network for this.

  • Connecting two routers to create a home network and have access to the net "wired"

I cannont access router 1 computers from router 2. thank you for your help!

  • Why wont my iphone4 to my home network and my router is fine

    my iphone4 wont join my home network. it was connected to it before.I have my laptop connected to my network and my apple TV and PlayStation I also have 2 other phones to are connected to it to. I reset all my settings and all so my router.

    I doubt that it was due to any Apple update. Note that this router problem does not affect any device which is already connected to the router. They have an IP address and still work. Mobile devices which disconnect and re-connect to your network frequently are much more likely to first see this problem.
