Home office setup for 867VAE-k9

First, I am not Cisco certified, and have learn all I know the hard way, but get around pretty well in the IOS. I have a simple network at home but it has to many devices and too much traffic for the normal home DSL devices, and I finally gave up rebooting them every few hours and bought a serious device. I have been working through getting it configured, but as I understand it, I need to get a support contract in order to have the right to download IOS updates? Also, in order to get the ability to turn on the use of firewall? So I am now trying to find out, with no success so far since no one wants to talk to a NON HUGE CORP about a support contract, how to get one and what will it cost, and will the firewall cost even more? Can someone point me to some answers?
Oh, and after getting SDM down and set up (with some serious hurtle like Java 1.6), it tells me the device isn't supported, which I was sure I read it in the list in the SDM manual.

Which IOS is on there currently?
PS. You should download Cisco Configuration Proffessional 2.8

Home Office Setup

This is probably a very simple question, but I'll ask anyway!
I have a couple of clients that want to set up a home office configuration providing a PC, wireless and VOIP handset configuration, providing the same functionality as though they were in the office.
At the main office, I have an ISR 877 providing a basic ASDL connection and connected to that I have an ASA5505 providing the firewall, VPN access etc.
I'm thinking that I can install a ISR 851 or similar at the home site, which will have it's WAN port connected to the existing Broadband router. I can then create a VPN connection (IPSec or Site-to-site?) to the main office through the ASA and hey presto, I have some happy users!!
The things that I want to clarify are:
1) Can the ISR 851 connected to an existing Broadband router through the FE, thus making a little secure business subnetwork within their home network.
2) Am I going to need an IP at the home end? Or would I ensure the connection through the VPN through other means?
3) Are there other, better ways to do this?
Bear in mind that there isn't a huge budget to change the main office setup. I really want to buy an ISR, configure and install....
Thanks in advance for any help...

You do not need a public IP if you use EZVPN:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk583/tk372/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080808395.shtml
We used this once for a customer who had only one IP terminated on the router. We configured EZVPN on an ASA5505 but this should work with IOS routers as well.

Home Sharing setup for 2 pc, 2 iPhone & an iPad

Hello everyone!
I am really hoping someone can help me. My mom and I just got iPhone 5s and I would like to be able to share my iTunes music with her, but I am not sure how to set this up. I have reviewed many posts here, but they are all different depending on the devices and what each person would like to do. So I am adding my questions to the mix so that maybe someone has a similiar setup and can offer step-by-step instructions to make it work. We have 2 pcs on Windows XP, 2 iPhone 5s and I have an iPad. Does iTunes Home Sharing work on XP without using iCloud? Can sharing my iTunes music happen without sharing our contacts, calendar and email? Please let me know if this is not possible and I am wasting my time. This message is my last attempt to make this work. I have spent much time trying to make this work.
Thank you for your time and energy!

Okay, so here's what I've found so far:
So I've done a number of tests on both my Apple TV's - the bedroom unit worked fine - it wirelessly connected to a cheap wifi-N AP (netgear $20 refurb from Microcenter) and it was upgraded by plugging directly into my Mac using a USB cable.
My living room unit, experiencing this issue, was plugged into an ethernet port and was upgraded through the IOS update feature. Any movie played through Home Sharing would fail after 2-3 minutes. In some cases, like with ******* 3D, I couldn't even finish watching the titles of the film before losing the connection.
This was happening on all my Home Sharing setups - both on the PC and the Mac that have libraries their share - both before and after upgrading to the latest iTunes on both.
I tried resetting the living room unit by plugging it into the iTunes and doing a factory restore. Once it was done, I put it back online - and connected it to the same WiFi as the bedroom unit. All tests passed. Was easily able to play things that couldn't stream before the latest update.
Once I plugged in the ethernet cable, it shut down the WiFi link and then started exhibiting the connection drop once again.
I then unplugged ethernet, re-connected to that AP and have been working since. Nothing in the packet capture I have shows what happens to the connection - I see lots of DAAP protocol going back and forth - then out of nowhere, the Apple TV starts pouring out a pile of RST packets and that's when the connection drops. In order to look at this more closely, I'd have to put a sniffer on the LAN and run this through a network switch that has packet capture abilities - not something I possess at the moment.
For now I'd advise that folks run wireless or wireless through a third gateway if you can.
Cheers!

Please Help Me Complete My Office Setup for My MacBook Pro

Hi all,
OK, here is what I am in the market for:
1. Bluetooth Keyboard
2. Bluetooth Mouse (preferrably rechargeable)
3. External LCD Monitor, DVI (20-24 inch, preferrably 24)
I am looking to spend around or under $600, if possible.
I have a MacBook Pro, 15", 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. It is my primary computer. I run both OS X and Vista (via Bootcamp). I have been running Vista much more lately for business purposes.
Basically, I am looking for a setup for when I am sitting at my desk (as opposed to on the couch, for example, where I use my Rain Design iLap).
I am not opposed to having a wired keyboard or mouse either, but I thought bluetooth would save me the hassle of having to plug those in every time I sat down to my desk, in addition to the monitor and power plug.
Thanks.

Home Office Network Setup

Sorry in advance. Just spent the better part of the weekend trying to find related post/replies...and just got woefully confused.
I do architectural graphics and work primarily on a mac for PShop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Sketchup. I also use a PC to work in AutoCAD. Trying to update my OSes (major backup needed, hence the external drive)AND streamline my workflow.
Currently, I use sneakernet/flashdrive to share graphics files between the two platforms. This is getting old. Was told I could share an external hard drive between the two. Bought one without researching HOW-TO first. My bad. Before integrating the hard drive, would like to create a home-office network. (hard drive not connected yet)
Here's what I have:
imac G4 17-inch, OS X 10.4.11, NO airport extreme card installed
Dell Latitude D610 notebook, Windows XP, sp1 (I know, updating after success here)
My Book External Hard Drive (non-portable, TO BE usb-connected to imac)
ABS Snow
A few pre-bluetooth printers
*Current set up*, archaic, but works fine:
Cable modem> ethernet> ABS (WAN port)
ABS (LAN port)>ethernet> imac g4
Windows wireless to ABS
Printer > usb > imac
What I want to do:
1) Print wirelessly from pc.
2) Access my mac-stored graphic files from pc.
3) Share external drive with mac and pc without having to do the sneaker-flash drive dance. I intend on connecting directly from mac via usb.
4) Read/write SHARED files to/from said external drive with either mac or pc.
5) Use external drive for backups, mac and pc.
6) Share iTunes library between pc and mac.
Money's my biggest limitation, or I'd just go buy a newer extreme w/ usb ports, etc. After trying to piecemeal the 5000 related posts I've read, I officially have no idea where to start.
I THINK I understand how to share files/folders between the two (http://www.ifelix.net/tech/3020.html) With my current setup, can I simply use file sharing in a similar way to connect PC to external hard drive? printer?
I THINK I will be moving my mac documents/graphic files/music to the external hard drive. I THINK I will chose the moved folders on this _external hard drive_ that I want to pc-share. I THINK the mac-pc compatible external drive will allow equal read/write access. I THINK it's going to be THIS easy.
BUT...does the Snow have the capacity to support my intended network (internet, external drive, printer)? Or will the mac need an airport extreme card to make this work?
Also, any thoughts on partitioning the external drive? I've read some posts elsewhere with that recommendation. It seems like a potential headache since I'll be sharing things like music and graphic files.
I have some serious backing up and general hd cleanup to do but am petrified to lose everything in my attempt to share this external disk. Help! Mega-many thank you's if you made it this far in the post!

Does the mac need to be wireless in order to utilize file sharing or 'Connect to Server' commands?
No. You can do both via an Ethernet connection. A matter of fact, file sharing will be demonstrably faster with Ethernet as compared to wireless.
Do I need programs like DAVE and/or SAMBA to make all this wireless talk happen?
Neither. These have nothing to do with wireless connectivity. When sharing files between Macs, you will utilize AFP which is built-in OS X. Sharing with Windows/Linux clients will require SMB. This too is available from OS X.
It sounds like, by your post, that the pc will only network with peripherals directly connected to the router (snow) and NOT to peripherals connected to the mac, which is wired to the snow. Is that correct?
Sorry, if I mislead you. That is not true. A PC can access either devices connected wired/wirelessly to the Snow or to devices connected to a Mac that is sharing them.
Let me know if the AFP link I provided doesn't answer all your questions. You may also find the following iFelix link handy: Sharing files between a Windows XP PC and a Mac running OS 10.4.x

Home/Office network setup (Mini Lan Network) if possible?

Hi,
To all the people that know what the best way to set up a home to office network such as the diagram below, please help us out with the following questions:
I hope that someone can understand the diagram. Anyways,
We currently have both setups, but there is no network communication either through Home nor Office where a PC will talk to a Mac or vic versa, nor through connecting through the internet where our office machines will talk to the home machines and vices versa. This is where my requirements for such a setup is needed.
Our Office uses the iMac for general Administration/Accounting work, whilst the PC is used for Engineering Draft work and others. The home machines; the PC again is used for Engineering work and others whilst the Mac is a general Purpose machine used by most members of the house hold.
Basically speaking, we would like to somehow link all peripherals and machines in such a way that:
- The home machines can talk to each other and their respective connected devices as well as the Office machines and their respective devices.
- The Office machines can talk to each other and their respective connected devices as well as the Home machines and their respective devices.
Currently the setup is as follows:
Home: PC : Has one main user for doing Engineering work and General other purpose activities.
MAC : Has multiple Accounts for doing general work
Office: PC : Has one main user for doing Engineering work and General other purpose activities.
MAC : Has 3 accounts; One for main Admin user and the other two only to access MYOB accounting and shared folders.
If I can get a point listing of how to achieve all this, I would be very grateful. Also, due to software licensing imposed by S/W companies what would be the best way to reduce the number of software bought for each computer only to be run from one main machine... similar to how program linking worked in Mac OS 9.2.2. I would like to do this through Virtaul PC running off the iMac and say running Microsoft Office from the P3. I currently have MS remote Desktop connection but this logs out the user that would otherwise been logged on when I hook up to the PC, is there another way?
I hope to get lots of feed back for this one guys.
Thanks
Tibs

You should study VNC.
You will need to configure the router at work, to accept and forward VNC connections. (open port 5900, forward to computer#1's IP address. open port 5901, forward to computer#2's IP address...see below)
You will need to set up work computers to be running as VNC servers.
Work computers should also be configured to have static IP inside the LAN. Your router will need a fixed IP address to forward VNC traffic into.
standard listening port for VNC is 5900 (i think), and each VNC server can be set to listen on different port. (5900,5901,etc)
You will need to configure home computers to be VNC client.
On home computer, in order to connect to work computer #1, run VNC client to connect to Work Public IP address (WAN router address) on port 5905(or whatever standard VNC port is). Work router will forward that hit on VNC port, into work computer#1.

Home Office Server setup question: re RAID or not on Mac Mini Server

I recently purchased a Mac Mini with OS X Server (10.6) for my home office. I also have an AEB.
Is there any point in configuring the 2 500G disks as a RAID 1 setup? Given Time Machine backup and an inability to easily open it up and replace in case of a single drive failure, I don't see the point. But maybe I'm missing something.
Rather, I think the best setup is to use the main drive for the OS and services data, and drive 2 for user home directories.
Anyone have a recommendation for using the 2 drives?

for the two mini servers i've configured so far for clients, the internal drives are used just as a raid1 boot volume with data and backups stored on different external drives.
i chose to mirror the drives to add some redundancy. realistically, i'm not onsite with these clients all the time, and i'd prefer they can continue operating if one drive fails. replacing an internal drive isn't as easy as on other models, but it's a manageable process.

Need a hint for home office / 871 does not support port-security - FPM ?

Hi,
i want to realize the following setup:
- Central Site 871 with Internet Connection and static IP
- Home office 871 with Internet Connection and static IP. On that home office router, there should be 2 Vlans: 1 for the office work and one for the user's private PC. All Traffic from the "office" Vlan is being put into a VPN to the central site. All Traffic on the other interface is being natted and goes straight to the internet.
To minimize security issues, i tried to configure port-security, so that the user cannot connect with his private PC to the office LAN ports and vice versa. Unfortunately, port-security seems not to be supported on the 871 (advanced ip services image).
Now i looked for an alternative...and came over to FPM (flexible packet matching).
If i understood right, you can classify packets for example by their source MAC address and if this field matches a specific value (the mac of the work pc), packets can be dropped by a policy.
Of course i cannot avoid that the user connects the work pc together with his private pc (this is then related to the OS Security to keep out viruses, worms, trojans, etc). But i could/want to restrict the internet access with the work pc through "normal" Internet access - the users should not be able to do that (must use the company's proxy).
I did the follwing config:
class-map type access-control match-any c2
match start l2-start offset 48 size 6 regex "0xabcd1234fedc"
match field ETHER source-mac regex "abcd1234fedc"
policy-map type access-control p2
class c2
drop
interface Vlan1
ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
ip virtual-reassembly
service-policy type access-control input p2
service-policy type access-control output p2
As this feature is quite new, i'm not familiar with it's syntax.
I also tried to use "string" instead of regexp, but i'm still able to connect the office pc to the private Lan and i am able to access the "Internet" (currently it's only setup in a lab).
As i understood so far, the offset is the value in bits, and size is in bytes. is that correct?
Has anyone yet some experience with FPM or maybe any hint for me how to realize the requested setup with the 871 routers?
bets regards,
Andy

For the FPM feature to work you will need PHDF files for the protocols you want to scan for to be loaded on your routers. The files can be downloaded from cisco's website. In your case you will have to download ether.phdf file.

Cisco Model 870 router for home office connected to WRT160NL wireless router for personal use

I am using a Cisco Model 870 router for home office. I just bought a WRT160NL wireless router for home use. I setup the personal wireless router off the personal port of the 870 and can connect with my PC but not with my MAC machines. It can see the Network but when it asks me for passwords, it says they are wrong, which after several attempts I know they are correct.
The new router is setup as WPA2 personal. Can you advise?

Office 2013 RMS Client Configuration - Your Machine is not setup for IRM

Hi All,
I have successfully setup a test AD RMS farm but stuck at trying to configure Office 2013 to work with this. The farm configuration is as below
DC: Windows 2003
AD RMS Server: Windows 2008/ SQL Server 2008 R2
Client: Windows 7 64 bit with Office 2013 32 bit, Domain Joined
Client is domain joined and SCP has been successfully registered ( I can see the SCP in AD RMS properties).
When I open word and select Protect Document -> Restrict Access, the only option is to Connect to RMS Server and get template, which eventually gives an error
Your Machine isn't setup for Information Rights Management (IRM). To set up IRM, sign in to office, open an existing IRM protected message or document, or contact your help desk.
Surprisingly, when I open a document protected by IRM (from a different machine), IRM is automatically configured for the user and starts working from that point. However any new domain user login into this client faces the same issue.
Can anyone help identify the required registry keys that need to be present for getting this working on the client.
Thanks for your help

Yes, you can install and use the software on the 2nd machine so long your new company owns the license, the software is used but the same person who is using the primary installation (that is, you).

Using ms office 2008 for mac home & student edition with snow leopard serv

Hi all,
I have a very particular question.
I have a new small business starting up and we want to make full use of leopard and snow leopard server in our infrastructure. We also want to use os x for all our client machines.
We want to use ms office 2008 for mac as our main offfice software but i believe we don't need all the uses or festures of the business edtion and i need to seek good advice and clarity on this.
We won't ever use any microsoft exchange servers but instead willl use the apple mail servers and all the other apple server services.
My question is, based on the fact that we will have an all apple mac os x backend and client frontend but want to use the ms office for mac as our business software, and also based on the fact that we wont use the "Build your Brand clip art, Build your skills by lynda.com, the Remote Desktop for mac 2, the Microsoft Exchange Server Support and the Microsoft Windows sharepoint services support, do we really need to go for the business edition? Can we not just use the home and student edition and get the same functionality using everything else apart form what we listed as we wont need these?
The other question is, the Entourage 2008, Web services Edition, will this work with an apple backend instead of ms exchange server?
Kind regards and thanks for your wise advice,
Neil Watson

Thanks, Kurt--I understand now.
One reason I was alarmed was that evidently when the tech installed Office 2008, something went awry with either the key installer or the key code, because when I finished the first two updates (12.1 and 12.2), I tried to open Entourage to see if the problem I'd been having was resolved. Instead of opening, Office gave me a message that my product key was invalid! I did find the product key, and called the tech, who will come by to see what's wrong (he's an honest guy, so I'm sure it's a legitimate error of some kind, not a pirated copy). But the thought of installing two pages of updates and maybe running into the same glitch every time made me blanch. So I'm glad to know that Microsoft is still doing Service Packs for 2008!

I suspect you had the same issue I did and downloaded the 64-bit version of the OpenSC libraries, but your firefox is 32-bit. You can see the opensc-pkcs11.dll in the System32 folder via windows explorer, but when you browse that directory via firefox to add the module, you are acutally being redirected to the SysWOW64 directory. Try intstalling the 32-bit OpenSC libraries, and adding the appropriate library from the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory.
