How can I create my own network in my dorm? (Using Airport Extreme + ethernet cable) (To connect AppleTV and Sonos successfully with no restrictions)

So I recently set up my Apple Airport Extreme Router in my dorm and have a BIG problem. It works and lets me do most things on my own network, but when I try doing things on my external devices connected to the network (Apple TV and Sonos Hi-Fi Sound system) the connection just doesn't go through. I'll give two examples.
After setting up my Sonos system successfully, I was prompted to update the software so I can use options that need internet access such as pandora and soundcloud. It just didn't work at all. It gave me an error that had to do with internet connection. I tried numerous times.
On Apple TV, I used AirPlay on my phone to mirror what I was seeing on my phone and then tried to play youtube, soundcloud, and other music apps and none of them worked.
My guess is that it has something to do with my school's restrictions on streaming or downloading. But none of this stuff is actually restricted so I know it must be due to the transfer of information between my network (which is connected to the school's network I am assuming, since my ethernet port is in my dorm wall)  and my external devices.
Honestly I'll probably get the "Your school has these restrictions answer", but I know there is a way to fix this and I really want the answer!!
Thanks,
Andres

You don't need the AirPort Express to do this.
You can set your Mac to share it's wired connection over the wireless port and the iTouch can connect directly to the Mac.
You could also do it with the AirPort Express, but you don't need to - it's overkill for what you've described.

  • How can I create a VPN network between my offices?

    I want to create a conection between my two offices so that they can work better towether.
    I downloaded the OSX Server v2.2 but I haven't been able to create the connection. I have read the help information in the app, but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
    here is what I did:
    I created a VPN Connection in Network preferences, then i oppened the server.app and activate the VPN service.
    I fill all the fields, then in the other office i created the VPN Connecion in network preferences and filled out with the information of the other network, but it wasnt able to canect. I might not have all that is needed, here is what I have:
    IMac mid 2010 with OS X server v2.2, this one will be the server host.
    mac mini new, this one will be the client.
    broadband Internet conection in both of my offices.
    I would really apreciate if someone could point me to the right direction.
    Is there a manual that explains how to do thisconnection?

    On the gateway to the remote network, for L2TP over IPSec you need to forward UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 to the endpoint.
    You also need either a static external IP address or a domain name for the gateway. Internally, the enpoint needs a static address.

  • How can I create a guest network on an airport extreme that connects wirelessly with a Timecapsule

    I have a Timecapsule in one place of our house, that is connected to Internet.  I need to extend the range of my network:  1.  my private network needs to get to a remote location to make connection with speakers (Itunes).  for this I need to first extend the range of my private network, because the speakers are too far away from the TC.  2.  I need to set up a guest network, but at quite some distance from my TC, in an other part of the house, too far away from the TC (so a guest network on the TC won't do). 
    For this, upon advice from an apple store, I bought an airport extreme, which I have placed on a location where it can connect to the TC, to extend the private network.  On the location of the speakers, I have an aiport express (connecting to the extreme), to play music from Itunes.  The setup at this moment is:  TC makes connection to internet, and broadcasts a private network.  Extreme connects to this private network, and broadcasts it further to the Airport express, that captures it and plays the music.  I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express.  Is this possible?  How can I do this?  Thanks for the help !

    I would now like to create a guest network on the Airport Extreme, while this Extreme keeps on connecting to the private network of the TC and keeps on broadcasting it to the Express.  Is this possible?
    Unfortunately, the "main" router...your TC in this case....is the only device that can create a Guest Network, assuming that the TC is connected to a simple modem.
    Unfortunately again, the Guest Network cannot be extended.  Your only real option here is to create a Guest Network on the TC and hope that it will have sufficient coverage for your needs.

    I need to create 3 partitions as told below
    partitions:

    /earth and /work should be roughly equal in size, /mars should be twice the size of the others, if that is possible. If not 3 partitions of equal size will do.
    Please, help me .

    Exactly 1TB? Slightly under/slightly over?
    Traditional Solaris disk labels are in VTOC format, but this format cannot describe disks larger than 1TB. So EFI labels must be used on disks larger than 1TB. Setup is slightly different.
    Are these physical disks or LUNs from a SAN array? If they are array LUNS, it is often the case that they don't have a Sun label of any type. So...
    #1 Apply a Solaris label
    If the LUNS don't have a label (when selected in 'format', it gives a warning that no label is present and offers to apply a label immediately). When run non-interactively, format assumes "yes" for any questions. So all you'd have to do is select every disk to have it apply labels to any unlabled disk. Run 'format' once and find the highest number (maybe it's 50 for you). Create a text file that looks like this:
    disk 1
    disk 2
    disk 3
    disk 50Then feed that to format like this:
    # format -f /tmp/disklist or whatever you've named the file.
    #2 Apply the partition layout to all disks you want.
    You asked if you should do the same procedure, but I don't see that you've actually done anything above other than print out the existing layout. Take one of your 48 drives and partition it the way you want manually (set the slices to the sizes that you want). Then you can copy the layout of that disk to others. You only want to do this between disks/LUNs of the same size. As an example, if you've explicitly partitioned c1t0d0 and you want to apply this to c1t1d0, do this:
    # prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s2Repeat for all of your other disks.

    1. in factory sales we are using T.code J1IIN. that time it fetch which type of Billing docu;ment. and how we can see that document. where it isconfigured
    You cannot view the Billing type while creating the excise invoice.In SPRO,Tax on Goods Movement-->India >Business Transactions> Outgoing Excise Invoices -->Assign Billing Type to Delivery Types here you maintain the Delievry and Billing types with which you cancreate Excise Invoices.
    2.Is there any copy control system between commercial Invoice to Excise invoice?
    There is no copy control and the above step controls the relation between the billing and excise invoice.
    3.How I can create my own Excise Invoice Document type.
    You cannot create your own Excise Invoice Document type but you can create a Sub Transaction type and assign it while creating Excise Invoice to differentiate and pass the values to a different GL.
