How can i access my PowerMac when i am away from home?

Hi, I have a powermac G5 at home and have just bought a mac book pro. is there any way to set them up so i can access the powermac when i am out traveling with my mac book? I guess i would need to leave the powermac on all the time, but how do i get the two connected? i have far to many files to use iDisc and i have a lot of extra drives attached to the powermac at home.
Any chance the answers could be simple!!! I'm relatively new to macs and know almost nothing about accessing computes over the internet.
thanks for your help.

Hi Martin,
I am just implementing something which may be of interest to you.
I have a home network of a G5 Quad and several PCs which I wanted to be able to access, securely while I was away from home. (Using a XP laptop).
I have just purchased a LinkSys RVL200 VPN router and ASDL modem and after a fair amount of trial and error managed to get it working to my ISP, British Telecom.
Effectively I can now connect my laptop from anywhere on the internet and it is as if I am sat on home with it connected to my local network. Most importantly it runs via an https: tunnel (may not be the correct phrase) so it is secure.
To connect all I have to do is go to my IP address via the browser using https://, logon on and it creates a connection through which I can access my Mac and PCs. Once the connection is in place then I can run any application on my laptop and it connects fine. (Last night I tested it running ftp to my G5 which is hidden behind the firewall.)
The only thing I am not sure about is how it would connect using a Mac rather than an XP machine (the secure connect icon appears in the tray) but if it fits what you are looking for I'm sure LinkSys could advise on whether it would work.

    but in the home with wireless internet access , it is continued when off, sometimes can not working,
    What does "it is continued when off" mean?
    And the same for "somtimes can not working"?

  • How do I get my emails when I am away from home .

    When I use another computer when away from home how do I access my emails.

    Use your email providers webmail page. Go there using an Internet browser and log into your email account.
    Thunderbird has nothing to do with this.

  • How can I get my iPhone 4 repaired while away from home?

    I will be working in Manila in the Philippines for the next few months.
    My iPhone 4 has developed a hardware fault and needs to be repaired. It is out of warranty, but I am willing to pay for the cost of the repair myself. The Apple Authorized Service Providers here inform me that the only organizations who carry out repairs are the two official iPhone distributors in the country. Unfortunately, neither of these companies are willing to repair my iPhone because it was not purchased from them.
    I am told that I will have to fly back to the country I originally purchased the unit from to have the work carried out there.
    People travel and work all around the world these days. Do Apple really expect their customers to fly to a different country just to get their phone
    repaired? How is someone travelling on a business trip supposed to manage without his phone if it develops a fault while he is away from
    home?
    Does anyone know a way I can get my iPhone fixed while I am here?
    Chris

    As I explained, I'm not asking for Apple to provide warranty support. I'm quite willing to pay for the cost myself. The problem is that none of the authorized Apple service centers are willing to accept the unit for repair because it wasn't purchased from them.
    Its quite shameful that Apple permits its official support organizations to behave in this way. Someone working away from home should be able to get their phone repaired if it develops a fault. These things are not toys for many of us. A lot of people depend on them to carry out their business.

  • How do i connet to enternet when im out away from home.

    how do i connet to enternet when away from home

    If you have an iPhone you could tether the two together. Alternatively, you could get MiFi - a small gadget that works in a similar way. The network 3 does one for about £120 with a 12GB download over 12 months.

  • I suddenly can't get email or internet access on my I-phone 4G when I'm away from home. how can I fix this?

    Yesterday, I suddenly lost the ability to access email and Internet on my I-phone when I'm away from home (where we have Wifi).   Is there a simple way to fix this?  I have gone into Settings and can't figure out what to do. 

    if you're away from how do you access data? through your network? check if you turned off your data. Go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>NETWORK
    turn on Cellular Data if it's OFF
    3G should also be ON for faster access.

  • How can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone

    how can I access my iCloud account on the web from my phone
    iPhone 5 iOS 8.3
    I have iCloud turned on, location services on, find my phone works but when I try to access iCloud via Safari on the phone it takes me to a page Apple.com,
    iCloud then three options
    set up iCloud on my phone (i have)
    Install Find my phone, it is installed and it works from my MBP
    or install find my friends, I don't need that I have no friends.
    my calendars and contacts and bookmarks and all are all sync'd and working on the phone, but i thought if I typed in iCloud.com on the phone in Safari I would go to my iCloud web page that looks like this on my Mac.
    Is that NOT how iCloud should/would look on my phone via Safari?
    This is maybe a dumb question after 3+ year of iPhone'ing
    thank you for clarifying or helping me to understand

    I've been playing with a Galaxy here at work and here's what I've found so far - please feel free to jump in and suggest alternative methods to configure or access the various icloud components.
    So the original Q: Can you access your icloud account on Android?
    Not entirely: the website can't be used from an android browser (not properly - even with Dolphin HD and posing as different browsers it won't load correctly.  So Find my iphone is out, so is the address book or looking at your e-mail or calendar just in a browser window
    I was able to setup my e-mail using the IMAP settings published here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    Be sure to setup the account manually - and note if you have trouble using SSL try TLS (that worked for me)
    Address book is a no go so you'll have to use iTunes to sync all your contacts over to Gmail - if you still have an iPad it means managing contacts in two places though .  Same goes for your calendar - transfer it to Gmail and forget about iCloud's calendar.  Nice instructions here: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20064060-285/how-to-switch-from-iphone-to-an droid/
    iWork is an Apple proprietary bit so don't expect much there.
    So in my case, if I'm really going to make the switch to a Galaxy from my iPhone it really means I'm going to have to switch to using google as the backend.  The timing to swap over to a galaxy/android phone is not the greatest - given that I'd have to give up my Apple addiction (syncing photos and itunes and losing access to my device tracking).  Plus I still have an iPad and a mac and like living in the Apple ecosystem.  I think I'll wait and see what the new iPhone looks like before I commit

  • How can i access my docs (pages) in my iCloud from my iPad? I do no have pages in my iPad? help please

    How can i access my docs (pages) in my iCloud from my iPad? I do no have pages in my iPad? help please

    Why would you want to access your Pages documents on the iPad if you don't have Pages?
    If you wanted to email them to someone, you could have done that on the Mac. If you want to edit them on the iPad you need the app on the iPad.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router

  • Why can't I get my email messages when i'm away from home?

    My Blackberry gets emails when i'm at home via our wireless network, but when I'm away from home, I don't get any email messages or text messages at all.  We have both the home WiFi wireless network "on" and the Mobile Network is on.  What should I do so I can get emails when I'm away from home?

    Without a Blackberry Data Plan you can't get email pushed to your Curve.  While on your wi-fi network you are able to access your email, but away from that link you need a data plan.

  • Is it possible to transfer iMOVIE 11 projects between my iMac and iPad2 so that I can work on projects when I'm away from home?

    Is it possible to transfer iMOVIE 11 projects between my iMac and iPad2 so that I can work on projects when I'm away from home?

    ARD is totally unnecessary and inapplicable for your scenario. ARD is a Mac OS X application for managing other Macs and is not useful if you want to connect to a Mac from some other OS. Mac OS X has a VNC client build int, so VNC,  or one of the number of other remote control solutions - LogMeIn, for instance, if they offer a Linux version - is where you want to be looking.

  • How can i access all the objects of one schema from another schema

    Dear All,
    How can i access all the objects(Tables,Views,Triggers,Procedures,Functions,Packages etc..) and do the modifications of one schema from another schema (Without using synonyms concept).
    Thanks in advance,
    Mahi

    First of all, synonyms only help you easy reference the object. It doesn't have any implication of object privilege.
    As long as you have proper privilege on target object. You can access it with or without synonyms.
    Assuming you have proper privilege of objects, you can use following command to assume schema owner.
    ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA = Schema_owner

    What you need to do is to configure your broadband modem to forward the appropriate traffic (normally by port forwarding) to your PowerMac G5. Additionally, it is suggested you have a static WAN IP address else be using a dynamic DNS service like DynDNS…
    http://www.dyndns.com/
    … and your PM G5 has a static LAN IP address as well. Otherwise, the easier way is to just put you PM into your modem's DMZ and all traffic will be sent to it.
    Once you do that then you'll have no problems getting access to you PM. However, you need to be aware that you will be opening up your PM to attacks from the WAN side. The best is if you're able to administer your modem from the WAN so you can turn on and off functionality as you need to.
    So, what you need to do first is have administrator access to your modem.
