How do you set up VPN on Mac from information that's only from a Windows computer?

My workplace only supports setting up VPN on my Windows computer, but not my Mac, and I would love to access VPN from my Mac as well.
I am running Mountain Lion on my Mac and Windows 7 on my PC.

You will need to know what type of VPN they use, L2TP/IPsec and PPTP or a proprietary one.
With that information there are lots of guides on how to set up the L2TP and PPTP on the web, usually they are for a commercial VPN supplier but you would need to put your companies info into the correct boxes in System Preferences/Network.
If it is proprietary, go to the makers web site and see if here is a suitable client to download and use, again enter your companies info into that software.
There is also Open VPN client that may work.
One thing to be aware of is that some companies forbid any connection to their system unless using approved software.

  • How do you set the original outbound message from MSG_WAIT_ACK to MSG_COMPLETE ?

    We are using B2B & OSB to send out messages via eBMS protocol
    So basically this are the two use cases
    1) EBusiness Suite => B2B => OSB=> Customer for the outbound Shipment Notices
    2) EBusiness Suite <= B2B <= OSB<= Customer for the Inbound acknowledgement
    We are able to use standard B2B functionality to send out the messages using eBMS with https and client certificates
    On the way back from the customer, we are using OSB that gets the raw data and the body gets sent to B2B
    On the outgoing part a message gets created in B2B and is at MSG_WAIT_ACK
    When the acknowledgement comes in, it comes as a seperate messgae in B2B and is at MSG_COMPLETE
    How do you set the original outbound message from MSG_WAIT_ACK to MSG_COMPLETE?
    We use JMS and have played around with jca.jms.JMSProperty.INREPLYTO_MSG_ID but that is not propagating to REFER_TO_MESSAGE_ID in B2B_BUSINESS_MESSAGE table
    I tried using jca.jms.JMSProperty.CONVERSATION_ID as well but no luck
    Any response is highly appreciated!

    Are you asking about your own JavaMail code or about somebody else's web-based mail agent?
    If it's the latter (which is what it sounds like) then you find the checkbox in the preferences configuration, or whatever they call it, which says "Include original message in reply", or something like that. If such a thing exists, that is. If you're thinking that the e-mail message controls how their code formats replies to it, that's not how it works.
    Even Outlook lets you configure how replies are formatted, the only difference is that the Outlook default is to include the original message and your web-based agent's default is to not include it.

  • HT4436 How do you set up icloud on all devices so that they communicate

    how do I set up my icloud on my iphone and macbook so that they communicate with each other

    This can get a little confusing, your AppleID account has an email address associated with it, and a user ID.  The iCloud account can be the AppleID account, but only if the AppleID is an email address.  The iCloud account ID must be an email address.  And, if you have made the ID: [email protected], then you cannot change that account.  But you can change the AppleID account to match.
    See the iCloud FAQ for more info.

  • How do you connect "back to my mac" from and ipod touch?

    Does anyone know how to use the back to my mac function with the iphone or ipod touch? This would be really great to get access to the computer like you can with a laptop when on the road.

    Hi kclarke2000,
    The Apple official feature *Back to My Mac* is only supported from a Mac computer to another Mac! So, this means you won't be able to use this functionality with your iPhone or iPod Touch yet!
    However, you may want to leave feedback for Apple, by using filling out [this form|http://www.apple.com/feedback/mobileme.html].
    Hope this helps!

  • In OBIEE 11g, how can you set a presentation variable value from javascript ?

    I want to set up presentation variable from a javascript variable. Does anyone knows the workaround for this ?

    SriniVEERAVALLI,
    Thanks for your suggestions. I want to make a custom prompt that is only my requirement. From JS I have made a custom slider prompt now I want to use this slider prompt to pass selected value in presentation variable. Since, we have slider prompt only for numbers, I have to use it for other values.
    I just want to make my post looks simple and focus on the specific problem.
    Anyways, thanks a lot for taking time to reply. Appreciate your help.

  • How do you set up an O2 account from the iPad?

    I received the iPad yesterday (I know, lucky me) along with an O2 SIM card. I put the card in and a dialog popped up saying it would connect to the network. it now shows the 'O2 - UK' logo and a signal strength in the top-left corner but what happens next? No magical configuration screen has popped up and I can't see anything obviously to click (tap) on to arrange a contract.
    Am I missing some magic?
    Ok, ignore me - I was missing some magic!

    That is the correct way to do but you can't do it at Apple Store if you don't bring your own computer there. The problem is all Kiosk Mac in Apple Store running iTunes in Activation-only mode so you can't update that setting with iTunes.
    I was at Frankfurt yesterday. The staff at Apple Store assisted me to sign an improper contract with Vodafone because he didn't know the process. He took me to a web page (via Wifi) then let me enter an information. The correct way is by supplying a correct APN setting. Then open Safari (via 3G). Later you will be directed to the correct web page that let you enter sign the contract. I find out this later when I go back to home and then sync the iPad with my computer.
    I think this is also unexpected for Apple Store Staff but hey you can update iPad firmware to include all require Carrier settings before shipping to the store. Then there is no issue with this.

  • How can I remote into my home Mac from work windows PC?

    I have a Mac G5 at home and a XP pro computer at work. Is there any way I can remote in to my home computer so I can mess with it while at work? I have so much I want to learn to do on my computer at home, but no time. I spend a lot of time at work on the internet and would like to turn it into productive (for me anyway) time.

    You can install a VNC server on your Mac and a VNC client on your PC. Then you can log in to your Mac. You can see and control the Mac.
    If you Mac is connected to a router, you will need to configure the Mac to have a static (local) IP address. You will need to configure the router to forward/map the appropriate ports to the Mac.

  • How come I can't open Excel files from a Windows computer on my Mac?

    My roommate created several Excel spreadsheets on his Windows XP computer and saved them. I put a USB drive in his computer and copied those files to the USB drive and then placed the USB drive in my MacBook. When I go to open the file, it indicates that the files are being used by another user and that it can't open them. What's going on?

    What happens if you copy them to the computer and eject the USB drive?

  • How do i log into my itunes account from my windows computer?

    I have downloaded Itunes but am not sure how to log into my account. I broke my iPad recently and would like to listen to my music on my computer.

    Open iTunes.  To authorize, go to the Store menu item on the menu bar, and choose Authorize This Computer, as shown below.  Then you can log in to your account with your Apple ID and password.
    If by any chance you don't see the menu bar ("File, Edit, View, Controls, Store, Help"), first enable it by using CTRL+B.
