How to start/stop network sharing??

I would like to know how to start my mac as a server, and how to stop it from being seen by someone else in the network. I recently used a colleague's machine, and to my surprise, I was able to see my computer in the network as a server, i could access my files and it scared the beejesus out of me...any hints??
thanks

Check  | System Preferences | Sharing | Firewall.
If it says "Firewall Off" then click on the Start button.
If it says "Firewall On" then uncheck any unwanted services in the list here and also in the "Services" panel (which is all the stuff that is grayed out on the "Firewall" panel).
If it says "Firewall On" and you don't have any services checked in the "Services" and "Firewall" panels, then we will need more info and checks to ascertain what is going on. But let's do the easy checks first.

    I am in a hotel in Panama and although I have sharing completely switched off there are still computers connecting. How do I stop others sharing?

    I think you are seeing sharing networked computers in your sidebar.
    That doesn't mean they are connecting to you, or even that you can connect to them (they are likely pass word protected).  It's a bit like looking around your room and seeing a bunch of computers on tables... you can see them, but that doesn't mean you have access to them.
    It's also like seeing a list of WIFI networks in your Airport menu window - just because they're listed doesn't mean you can connect to them, or they to you.
    Does that make sense?

  • How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

    How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

    An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync. 
    If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
    If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync.  Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

  • How to Start / Stop Oracle Applications

    How to Start / Stop Oracle Applications.
    Oracle Applications Services (TCF, ConcManagers, Metric, Forms, Reports etc...) TnsListner & Oracle Service (DB) are started when the Server is started.
    What is the sequential Order to Start / Shutdown services, Listener & DB.
    Best regards,

    hi
    there is no hard coded rule on which service should be started first.
    the basic thing is concurrent manager uses database for starting, so i advice you the following sequence:
    1. start the database
    2. start the database listener
    3. Apache server
    4. forms server
    5. report server
    6. concurrent manager
    and shutdown in the reverse order
    simple

  • How to start/stop an Xserver?

    Gurus:
    Would you please help tell how to start/stop an Xserver?
    Thanks!

    Hi Linda Li,
    Basically it depends on enviroment and If it's unix then it depends on how you configure your scripts in /etc/init.d
    1. If you are looking for on how to start & stop XServer for environment APO/LiveCache & MaxDB then below are commands
    x_server [<options>] [start]
    x_server stop
    2. If its on general UNIX then
    If you're in X and want to stop it, bring up the terminal window and type:
    init 3
    To start X from the command line, type either:
    startx
    or
    init 5
    I hope this helps you.
    Thanks and best regards

  • How do i stop getting shared calendar invitations?

    How do i stop getting shared calendar invitations which require a deleting action.

    Going to answer my own question after searching the web a bit more...
    The setting is not in the Notification Center, where you'd expect...  it's in the Calendar app on OS X, and in the Mail, Contacts and Calendar settings in iOS 6 (don't know about 7 yet ).
    In OS X, open your Calendar and from the menu bar choose Calendar > Preferences and then highlight the Alerts tab.  Second from the bottom is a checkbox labelled "Turn off shared calendar messages in Notification Center"... it's unchecked, and you need to put a check mark (aka tick) in that box.  To be honest, I think this is poorly designed, because putting a check mark in a box to disable a setting is rather like a double negative, and probably why I've seen so many people think they have this set correctly when in fact the opposite is true.
    There's a similar setting on iPhones/iPads too, and again it's hidden away, but at least it's the right way round.  Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and scroll right to the bottom.  Where it says "Shared Calendar Alerts" change this setting to "OFF" (it's ON by default).

  • How can I stop a shared address book from duplicating groups?

    Hi,
    in our company we want to have one central address book, because we basically all contact the same people.
    What I did was create an account on my Mac Mini Server and added that users address book to everyones addressbook app.
    The problem I have now is that regularily all groups we have are duplicated, simply by opening the addressbook on a second machine.
    Is there a better way of sharing an address book?
    How do I stop the duplication of addresses?
    (All machines are Mountain Lion!)
    Thank you for any tips!
    All the best

    Hi,
    I've had a go.
    How should I interpret the results of list_requests:
    owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @list_requests

    Whilst a process flow is executing the last query will list executions, all of which have status BUSY:

    395324 BUSY PF_ONB01:ONB 04-MEI-06 09:11:55 OWNER_OWR
    owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
    As an aside, I will attempt to get rid of the READY deployment and deployment unit using deactive_deployment.sql
    Now, if I attempt to use deactivate_execution.sql on any of the executions with status BUSY I get:
    owner_owr@ORKDEV01> @deactivate_execution
    Voer waarde voor 1 in: 396136
    declare
    FOUT in regel 1:
    .ORA-20003: The object is not in a valid state for the requested operation
    ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RTI_EXCEPTIONS", line 94
    ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RTI_EXECUTION", line 774
    ORA-06512: at "OWNER_OWR.WB_RT_EXECUTION", line 90
    ORA-06512: at line 4
    owner_owr@ORKDEV01>
    So all the seems to remain is to use abort_exec_request.sql
    This does the job, but the script itself hangs.
    I think it has to do with the l_stream_id not being checked again after the initial IF. I think it should probably be part of the loop condition as it is again reset in the do_acks inside the loop.
    Cheers & thanks,
    Colin

  • How to start & stop SAP J2EE services.

    Hello,
    Can anyone tell me the steps how to Start and Stop SAP J2EE operations and how to troubleshoot the problems when the Java doesn't come-up.
    Regards,
    Murali

    Hi,
    In windows,
    go to SAP management console,Right click on the SID and then <b>start all tasks</b>
    similarly to stop,Right click,
    <b>stop all tasks</b>
    If it is linux machine,
    switch to SIDadm user,by giving the command <b>su sidadm</b>
    ex:if SID is J2E,then it will be <b>j2eadm</b>.and then it is <b>startsap</b> or <b>stopsap</b>.
    For troubleshooting,
    1.go to /usr/sap/SID/JCxx/j2ee/cluster/server0/log
    look for <b>defaulttrace.trc file.</b>
    you can get to know the errors here and find teh root cause of it.
    2.you can also look for <b>devp_trace</b> in SAPmanagement console.
    3.Before doing all this,first check if <b>JAVA_HOME,path</b> and <b>LD_LIBRARY_PATH</b> is set properly and proper JDK is taken.
    4.check id <b>DB is up and running.</b>
    reward points if helpful
