How do I set up my Belkin router to forward ftp port to macMini?

I am trying to set up my spare macMini (non-intel) as an ftp server, but I am not able to connect to the ftp server (office) from a remote location with my MacBook Pro (home). I have tried to make the right settings as below:
1. forwarded ports 20 and 21 on my Belkin router to the private IP of my macMini (192.168.2.15)
2. set up a dynamic dns account xxx.dyndns.org so that this domain is updated with the current public IP
3. set Sharing Preferences to allow ftp access and turned off the Firewall
I think the port forwarding info is not correct because it does connect if I use the DMZ setting and hard code the public IP to the private IP.
Any help appreciated,
Cynthia

Are you sure that your Internet Service Provider (ISP) doesn't block the ftp ports?
Is is fairly common these days for ISPs not to allow any kind of file server on ordinary household contracts.
Anyway, I'd suggest you rule that out before you get further into the intricacies of port forwarding.
I also hope that you only have the firewall turned off for the ftp ports -- or if not, that your router has firewall protection.

How can I set-up to receive a file with FTP?

I want to receive a .pdf file from another, but the file is rejected by my email service provider for size. What are the requirements and steps for arranging to receive this large file using File Transfer Protocol (FTP)? I'm using OS Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with a DSL Internet connection nominally at 10 MBs download.

Usually, we don't speak of "receive" when using FTP, since the file is transferred from server to client, so it's more of a case of "download".
At your end, it's simple. You use an FTP client; under SL, that includes Finder and Safari, so you don't even need to get any additional software.
At the other end, it's more complicated; the 'sender' must set up an FTP server on his machine.
Alternatively, you can set up your own Mac as an FTP server, and have the 'sender' connect to you with an FTP client and upload the file; but, if your Mac lives behind a router, then you have more work to do with the router settings.
That's why it's much easier to use the file sharing services mentioned above -- if they are available in both sender's and receiver's locations. (Keep in mind that some countries block access to all those mentioned -- except perhaps <www.transfer.ro>, of which I know absolutely nothing.)

HOW TO SET UP A BELKIN ROUTER AS A WDS

Does anyone have an idea of how make a belkin wireless router into a WDS. Airport utility cant or wont see my Base station so Im thinking I have to do throught the Belkin Web wizard. Im trying to extend my network with the aid of an Airport Express station and the nice people at the apple store told me this would not be a problem, but it is turning out to be one,

Hi Stephen,
Please see my earlier questions on a similar subject re WDS functionality in non AAPL environment with Airport Express. I was advised similarly by a dealer that the solution could be found with Airport Express. Unfortunately it does not seem so. Maybe AAPL need to put out an APB on the subject to their dealers!

How do you set up a wireless router for laptops only?

Recently I purchased the Lynksys WRT54G2 router for my home. My wife and I both have laptops and NO desktop computer. How do I hook up the router to work on both our laptops since we dont have a desktop computer? Thanks.

Connect one of your Laptop's to the router and configure your router...Once your router is configured you can run both the computers wireless...To configure the router :
If your ISP is Cable follow the link here...
If your ISP is DSL follow the link here ,
this will configure your router for Internet access, now change the wireless settings on your router...
Click on the Wireless tab on the Setup page- Here Wireless Network mode
should be mixed- Provide any non linksys network name ....
Name (SSID) box- Set wireless channel to 11- And wireless SSID
broadcast should be Enabled and then click on "Save Settings" >>Now
Click on the Sub tab under wireless > "Wireless Security"
Change the Wireless security mode to "WEP"...and put a 10 have a note of the key ...
click save settings ...
Click on Advanced Wireless settings>>
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings" ...
Try to look for the Wireless Network on both the laptops and connect...

How do I set up a new router for my macbook?

I am living in South Korea and recently just bought a new unicorn router. I followed all of the instructions. I went to the IP address that it listed, typed in all of my IP information that was on my mac and I just can't get it to work. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks

Typically unless you're using a static IP you shouldn't need to type that information in. It sounds like that may actually be the problem and you might want to see if there are separate instructions to set it up dynamically. Maybe if you can get us screenshots we can look at the settings you have for you. Also, is this connecting wirelessly only or are you connected through ethernet?

How can I set up source IP routing

This is on a recent Macbook Pro, OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion. Maybe the question really belongs in a "networking" or "operating system" subforum.
A Linux example is:
ip rule add priority 32700 from 10.45.37.70 table 240
ip route add default via 10.45.37.69 table 240
ip route flush cache
It routes all packets with source address 10.45.37.70 via 10.45.37.69 as default gateway, regardless of destination address.
Why is this needed? --->
I have a few physically tiny Wifi routers. They can only act as NAT routers, and even block connections between internally connected devices. No problem, if I need a device to act as a server (VNC, sendmail, samba, webserver...) I set up a vtun (actually any VPN would do) between the device and a VPN server on my LAN. This way, the device gets an IP address that is reachable from my entire LAN. I can walk away and access the laptop from a smartphone, for example. And I can move data between 2 laptops while on wlan.
Outgoing connections should continue to use the normal wlan gateway. If everything would use the vtun gateway, that would cause a lot of unnecessary load on the server.
The source IP routing affects only reply packets to connections that come in via vtun VPN. The replies have the above mentioned source address that triggers the special routing. Without the special routing, the replies would be mangled by the NAT router.
I have, on a different VPN (lets call it "VPN2"), seen an alternative. This different VPN sets an additional default address, and according to a forum post I found, related to Snow Leopard, this would automatically select the best route based on source address and local links. This does not work well for me in the case of my VPN2 (everything goes down VPN2, it shouldn't), but maybe it will help in the vtun problem? Are multiple default gateways ordered in some way that affects routing?

Yes, you can SPAN multiple ports, or multiple VLANs. This will SPAN ports 5/1 through 5/5. The spaces on either side of the dash are necessary.
monitor session 1 source interface fastethernet 5/1 - 5/5

How do I set up my wireless router for a secure connection

I lost my password to access my router. I reset the router to added a wireless printer and I now I'm trying to secure the connection. I have tried 192.168.1.1 IP address, but it takes me to Bing.com. I can't get to the login page to type in the admin password.

First of all do not use the Wireless computer to access the Router's setup page.Use the wired computer.Check the ip address you are getting from the router..Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then,adjust Browser Settings... Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on OK...Close the IE and re-open it...
Now try.......

How do I set my 6534 board to read in at port B, line 2?

Hi All,
After many trials, I still could not
get my 6534 board to read in data
at port B, line 2, or any other port or line.
I thought I pick port 1 and line b'10, or port
1 line 2, but I still cannot do this.
Could you guys help me out?
I am using the Buffered Pattern Input.vi.
I just couldn't understand how to use
the port list control.
Thank you in advance.

Hello Van626,
Check the manual below for control lines connections and configurations. It is important to know which protocol you will be using to communicate with your external device. i.e. Handshaking, pattern I/O...
Chapters 2 and 3 will give you a lot of information on how to configure your board.

I have a dvr and I want to monitor from my phone. this worked when I had a Belkin router that let me open ports. I use "canyouseeme" and it can't see 80, 9000 or 1025. How do I make them available?

I have a Lorex DVR that I want to monitor from my IPhone and IPad. I used to be able to do this when I had a Belkin router (easy to open ports) but I bought the AirPort Extreme router and no longer have that capability. When I use "canyouseeme" they can NOT see 80, 9000 or 1025. Lorex says I need them all available in order to access. Help! And all the help I see refers to a earlier version of the AirPort Utility so I cant use those to look at anything, I cant find the same screens, I have version 6.1 (610.31). I also don't really understand how ports work, so I need a pretty basic explanation.

Well...I went to the modem (Westell, WireSpeed), found the NAT settings, once again, I'm WAY over my head, I am assuming this is a TCP connection (as opposed to a UDP) and per Lorex my mobile devices will use port 1025. So I gave it a "global port range" of 1-10 and I indicated that the "base host port" was 80, 1025, & 9000 (ports 1,2,3). When I selected the 'enable' it asked for a "host devise" my choices are my IPhone, IMac and the IP address for the dvr, so I choose the dvr. I still cannot connect and canyouseeme still can NOT find these open ports. This is taking up my whole day! I don't know how people figure this stuff out.

How do I set up a Web-based access page to allow access to the internet through my router?

My wireless router is a WRT54G. I own/manage several condos in a building and guests change all the time. I want to set up a network with internet access similar to hotels and airports where access is granted after being directed to a web page and entering a password. How do I set this up? (I have several domains/websites if this is needed.)

Not with standard firmware and no other equipment.
If you want standard firmware and warranty and service you have to look at more expensive equipment.
For some WRT54G you can flash 3rd party firmware which opens up the Linux on the router. See the wikipedia article for "WRT54G" for a start. Also check out dd-wrt. Some people there use the WRT in hotspot setups with dd-wrt. They should be able to point you into the right direction.
Otherwise, what you are able to do with the WRT and standard firmware is radius authentication with WPA or WEP (called WPA Enterprise or similar...). This however, does not redirect you to access through a web site. You have to enter the username and password when you connect wireless to the router on your computer. If it matches you get access. Again: there is no web site involved here and if you don't know the username/password you cannot access anything not even an internal, free homepage. This also does not work for wired access to the router.

How do I set up an Airport Extreme as a router?

I need to make sure my Airport Extreme is set up as a router and NOT a bridge. I cannot find anything about this on Apple's manuals, the forums nor the interwebs in general. Has someone done this before?
Currently I have the Airport Extreme working as a WiFi seemelessly. I have two devices connected to the Airport Extreme via ethernet ports but only one is communicating. The other (a solar microconverter) is not communicating with the router. Cables work, I have unplugged and replugged everything, YES, everthing! Both devices have little green lights lit up next to the port they are plugged into.
Can anyone out there just tell me how I can either make sure it is set up as a router or how to change the Airport Extreme to work as a router.
I'm pretty desperate at this point.
TIA

In AirPort Utility 5.6:
In AirPort Utility 6 click on your device.
The device shouldn't be in bridge mode if you want it to act as a router.

Hi, I want to use my Capsule just as a back up via wireless. How do I set this up without connecting it with an ethernet cable to either a router or the iMac??

Hi, I want to use my Capsule just as a back up via wireless. How do I set this up without connecting it with an ethernet cable to either a router or the iMac??

I misunderstood what Time Capsule is and had hoped for a wireless backup device that didn't have to be connected to the router.
The TC is a wireless backup device.. it does not need to be connected to the main router..
The problem is the computer.. not the TC.. the computer has only one wireless card.. if your current internet is by wireless.. then you must choose.. internet or backup.
But my other suggestion will work.. get a wireless USB stick compatible with Mac OS.. there are plenty and cheap.. since you are in the same room as the TC they will work fine.. plug it in and load the driver.. taint hard.
You should do the first backup by ethernet though.. wireless is too slow.. once you have that, you will do fine.
Search ebay for wireless n usb.. Mac compatible..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-EDUP-Mini-Wireless-11N-300M-USB-LAN-Card-WiFi-Adapte r-Nano-Card-Soft-AP-/150864362939?pt=US_USB_Wi_Fi_Adapters_Dongles&hash=item2320 377dbb#ht_3553wt_1165
As you can see.. they are getting smaller and neater.
I have no idea if it works .. haven't tried one.. but I have used USB wireless stick on the Mac to overcome this issue.
You will need to set static IP .. not hard but you need to set specifics if you do buy one post again for the setup.

I have a linksys WRT54G router that we use as a base. I want to use Airplay using Airport Express and hook up my stereo to it. How can i set up my Airport express without a PC/laptop? I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work?

I just downloaded Airport utility on my iphone and ipad,will that work? And one more thing about the setup, the linksys router shich acts as a base is in a different room as the airport express which i wanted to use for airplay. So I'm hoping to hook up the Airport express via wireless signal. If i can set it up, can someone pls help me out by posting detailed instructions. Thanks so much!

The first message that AirPort Utility will display during the auto setup will be that the Express will be confgured to "extend" the network. When AirPort Utility analyzes the network further, and sees that the Express cannot "extend" the 3rd party network, the next message will indicate that the Express is being configured to "join" the wireless network.
Once the Express is configured, if you later go into AirPort Utility to check the settings under the Wireless tab, you will see that the Wireless Mode is indeed "Join a wireless network".

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

How can I set up a guest access point with a Time Capsule and an Airport Extreme? I am using a Telus router with the Time Capsule used as a wireless access point (bridge mode). I don't want the guest access point to have access to my network.

The Guest Network function of the Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme cannot be enabled when the device is in Bridge Mode. Unfortunately, with another router...the Telus...upstream on your network, Bridge Mode is indicated as the correct setting for all other routers on the network.
If you can replace the Telus gateway with a simple modem (that performs no routing functions), you should be able to configure either the Time Capsule or the AirPort Extreme....whichever is connected to the modem....to provide a Guest Network.
