How do i share my server with windows computers on my network

I just got my mac mini server not long ago, and i am trying to slowly convert my office from pc to MAC.  But i am having trouble sharing files, sharing my MAC's screen with a pc, and connecting my MAC to the router.  Does anyone know what to do? and last question, is there any way for my mac to use its mail service on a pc (i.e. mail to outlook)? Thanks!!!!

You're going to have to be more specific with the issues, errors and diagnostic messages that you are encountering, and what particular configuration you are seeing to establish.
Screen sharing is available from Mac to Mac, and from Windows once you load a VNC client on the Windows box such as TightVNC or some other VNC client, and configure and connect it.
Here are some notes on getting Windows file clients to connect to a Mac OS X Server SMB Samba file server; you have to drop some of the Windows security requirements to allow it to connect to the Mac OS X Server box.
Microsoft Office Outlook isn't traditionally used with mail servers other than Microsoft Exchange Server.  (While Outlook was good with Exchange Server and has likely gotten better over the years, it was classically rather poor when working with SMTP servers.)  More commonly, Outlook Express (and now called Windows Mail) is used for this, or Mozilla Thunderbird, or another SMTP-capable mail client.
One of the first things you will want to ensure here is correct and functional DNS on your LAN; other services are entirely dependent on DNS, and your ISP DNS cannot provide valid DNS for a LAN behind a NAT device.  Launch Terminal.app and issue the command sudo changeip -checkhostname and see if you get an indication that DNS is correct and no changes are required, or that there are DNS errors.  (You will need to enter an administrative password for the sudo command to be accepted.)
To connect and use a mail server on the Internet, you'll need to have a public static IP address and a correct public DNS configuration, or (far less desirably, and rather more complex) a way to tunnel from a non-static IP address over to a mail gateway service of some sort.  Having static IP and correct DNS is the usual approach.

  • HT1203 How do you share between users with Windows 8

    I have two user accounts on my computer.
    How do I share my music between them with iTunes with Windows 8.

    There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
    The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
    Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
    Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:

  • How to use iMac to work with windows computers like pcAnywhere?

    I just bought my first iMac, and love it. I run pcAnywhere (version 12.1) on a few windows computers for work, but need to connect to them via my new iMac and using a phone line modem.  How do I do this; and I am fairly new to Mac.  I have tried to install the pcAnywhere on my Mac, using pcAnywhere Cross Platform, but it will not connect at all and the error code I get is below:
    You can't open the application "pcAnywhere CrossPlatform" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    It took me over an hour to get it installed, via java downloads.  I connect on my old PC's with a phone number to connect via the modem because where I am connecting to has no Internet other than a phone line.
    Please help!!

    The PCAnywhere application you are trying to run is too old to be supported on a Mac running Lion, Mountain Lion, or any newer MacOS.  I would check to see if PCAnywhere has released an updated version of the application that you can use.  If not, you will probably need to go the route of virtualization (or keep an old PC around for supporting work).
    If you have to use virtualization, then you might want to consider using Virtual Box (a free app) to install Windows 7 on a virtual PC, then just run the PC version of your PCAnywhere software just like you would on any other PC.  You could use Virtual Box to install a MacOS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) instance and run your existing Mac version of the PCAnywhere software, but you would probably be better off to just use the Windows version.

  • How do I share info between my two computers over my network?

    Hello !
    I have an iMac, my husband has a Macbook. I just recently got an AEBS so that we could share the internet in the house. We are both wirelessy connected (thanks to the help on this forum). But I am wondering HOW can I share info on my computer...with his macbook? On HIS computer I can see a "shared" option on his HD, and my iMac is listed. It asks for password to access it. But I never set up this sort of sharing. I tried looking around on the iMac last night to figure out where I would do this, but to no avail. And I'm afraid to do something in fear of messing something else up !
    I guess I have no idea how this "networking" thing really works. Any help would be appreciated !
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Christine

    +Ok...so I went to the system pref/account tab. and I see where the password is for my iMac. Is that the password he would use to access the computer from his? the same one I use to access my own computer?+
    Yes, correct. When he "logs on" to your computer from his, he will be given the option for KeyChain access on his computer to "remember" the password so he won't have to manually enter the password each time he connects to your computer.
    Same thing in reverse when you connect to his.
    In most cases, the only thing you really need to share are the "printer" and "files", but you have a number of other options as well.

  • How do I share contact details with another contac...

    How do I share contact details with another contact suing Skype for Windows 8. When I right click on the contact I do not see the option "Share Contact" any more. Any ideas?

    What do you mean share? 
    It is not possible to send contacts from one iPhone to another without installing an app that would support this.  Bump is one such app.
    There is no functionality in iOS to do this.  iCloud can share contacts across multiple iDevices, but it would be ALL contacts, just just a few.

  • Integrate On-Premises Exchange Server With Windows Server Essentials

    I have Exchange Server 2013 installed on Win Server 2012 R2 joined to Windows Server Essentials domain.  Attempting to integrate the Exchange Server into the Essentials domain from the Essentials Dashboard using the wizard fails with the error, "Cannot
    locate an Exchange Server on the network. Make sure that your Exchange Server is setup and that it is connected to the network".  I can communicate with the server in multiple ways from the Essentials Server and other computers on the domain.  Mail
    flow in and out of the Exchange Server works without issue.  I can use the various management tools to administer the Exchange Server.  The only task I cannot complete is integrating it into the Essentials environment which I need to do to move on
    to creating user mailboxes for user accounts setup in AD.
    All research to date has come up empty handed.
    Help!

    Hi RSUL,
    Any update?
    On current situation, would you please let me confirm something more? It may help me to understand this issue
    clearly.
    Would you please let me know how join the Windows Server 2012 R2 (which had been installed Exchange Server 2013) to Windows Server Essentials domain? Did use Connector software
    (type http://servername/connect)?
    On server essentials, please open Dashboard and navigate to DEVICES. Then check the Status of this server which had been installed Exchange Server 2013.
    Currently, the Services Integration features, including on-premises Exchange integration, are only supported in a single domain controller environment. Meanwhile, the integration
    wizard must be run on a domain controller.
    In addition, please refer to the following article and check if can help you.
    On
    Premises Exchange Integration Windows Server 2012 Essentials
    Integrate an On-Premises Exchange Server
    with Windows Server Essentials
    By the way, please check Event Viewer and some relevant logs if you can find some more clues.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers.  How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad?  Can I use AirPort Express?

    I currently have a D-Link DI-604 broadband router with windows computers.  How can I add wifi to the network for use with ipad?  Can I use AirPort Express?

    Yes. You can directly connect an 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) using an Ethernet cable. The AXn would then just need to be configured as a bridge to allow the D-Link to continue to provide both NAT & DHCP services for all network clients connected to either router.
    In this configuration, the AXn would broadcast a wireless network for your wireless network clients to connect to.

    Moreover I can suggest you to:
    1) Perform a regular disk error-checking (check this as an instruction http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Check-a-drive-for-errors)
    2) Perform a virus scanning with an antivirus e.g. Microsoft Security Essentials
    3) Check you computer for performance issues and resolve them (go to Start => type 'Performance Information and Tools' hit Enter, in a new window on the left side click 'Advanced tools' and review the performance issues enlisted (if any).
