I can't access my server from a remote PC

I can access a mac mini running snow leopard from remote Macs but I cannot access it from a remote PC. Are there special ports that need to be opened on the router to permit this?

Access how? ssh? telnet? Server Admin? screen sharing? File sharing?
If it's screen sharing as I might guess, that's VNC, and VNC works the same on both Windows and Mac. There are differences around authentication settings, but the IP ports are the same.
(Please Google the forums for previous discussions of using VNC from Windows to Mac, too. Depending on what tools you're using for VNC, see, for instance, this thread.)
if it's file sharing, then it's usually either via Windows SMB or Apple AFP. Running either of these over the open Internet is not something I'd recommend. I'd suggest using a VPN to connect to your server or to your firewall. Using VNC over a VPN is a good idea, too.
If it's file sharing, and depending on which Windows version you're using, there are settings you'll want to tweak. Here are some settings for interoperation using SMB.

Can't access weblogic server from internet but can from intranet

Hopefully this isn't the wrong place to post but I've searched through many many
newsgroups to figure out where to post this but can't find a specific enough one.
I've recently run into a problem with my weblogic server in that it can not be
accessed from the internet now. This was all working several weeks ago, when
I had the wl server listening for SSL communications on port 7002. I could access
the server from both within our corporate intranet (kind of) as well as access
it from the internet. I say kind of for the intranet in that when I chose to
setup SSL on the the wl server, I couldn't get port 7002 to communicate through
our proxy server. After a little research I determined that it would be best
to communicate on the default SSL port of 443. After switching to 443, I didn't
need to bypass the proxy any longer, when accessing from within intranet, but
now couldn't access the server from the internet. The wl server is behind a firewall,
but I had the network administrators open up port 443 on the firewall. They ran
a network sniffer and determined that the wl server is sending a TCP FIN packet
immediately following the last ACK packet in a TCP session establishment. I don't
really understand what that all means, but it seems really strange that everything
works great when inside the intranet and I don't get any TCP FIN packets sent
from the server, but when you try to communcate through the firewall you do.
Does anyone have any insight into this issue? something else I could look at.
The network administrators are basically saying it's the webserver that needs
configuration (even though it worked great in the past when listening on port
7002 instead of 443). PLEASE HELP!!!

Got it. This thread helped!

Can't Access my server from the Server App

Upgraded to Lion Server, everything seemed to go OK. Now, for some reason, I can't access the settings from the Server app. It asks for a passowrd, and it won't take it. I can reboot the server, log in just fine. But entering in my username and passowrd in the Server app, no dice.
Thoughts???

Can't access SQL Server from a library [SMO Server throws exception]

I have code that creates a SMO server object and then creates a set of tables in the target database. It works fine, if the code is in the main executable. If the code's in a library, it invariably throws an exception. The code's bog simple,
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(connectionStringTarget);
Server server = new Server(new ServerConnection(connection));
I can open the connection, so I know that there's nothing wonky there. (There's also the fact that it works if compiled into the exe.)
Here's the error:
Message: "Connection type is not valid."
Source: "Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum"
Stack: " at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExecuteSql.InitConnection(Object con)\r\n at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExecuteSql..ctor(Object con)\r\n at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.ExecuteSql.GetServerVersion(Object con)\r\n at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.SqlServer.GetServerVersion(Object conn)\r\n at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Environment.GetServerVersion(Urn urn, Object ci)\r\n at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Environment.GetObjectsFromCache(Urn urn, Object ci)\r\n at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Environment.GetData(Request req, Object ci)\r\n at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Enumerator.GetData(Object connectionInfo, Request request)\r\n at Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Enumerator.Process(Object connectionInfo, Request request)"
Target: {Void InitConnection(System.Object)}
I'm developing using Visual Studio 2008, on Windows XP. The database that I'm trying to connect to is SQL Server 2005, and I'm pretty sure that it's current on its patches. I haven't been able to find any help on the "connection type is not valid" error, or why it doesn't work in a library. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I received the same error message when using the following code:
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Common;
sqlConnection = new SqlConnection(DatabaseConnectionString);
ServerConnection serverConnection = new ServerConnection(sqlConnection);
svr = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server(serverConnection);
db = svr.Databases["master"];
The "Connection type is not valid" exception would be thrown when trying to execute the last line of code above. In my case, the problem turned out to be with the references I had added to my project. I was using the following references in my project:
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo
Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum
On closer inspection I found that I had inadvertently added version 10.0.0.0 of Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo instead of version 9.0.242.0. The references for Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum and Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum were all using version 9.0.242.0. After removing version 10.0.0.0 of Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo and replacing it with a reference to version 9.0.242.0 everything worked fine.
For other people also experiencing this issue I would recommend checking the properties of the Microsoft.SqlServer.* references in your project to make sure they all have matching version numbers.

Can't access work IMAP from home

Hi
We're running mail service (IMAP) on OS X Server 10.3.9 at the office. Everything works fine when I'm on the network locally - I can send and receive external emails etc.
However, I can't access the server from home using either the domain name or IP address. I used to be able to but we've recently changed ISP & router and I'm not sure if this has affected it. I assume the MX records for the domain are fine since we can send and receive.
I'm not really an IT admin-type guy (it's just kinda become my responsibility) so I don't fully understand DNS, local domains etc.
If anybody has any pointers, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

However, I can't access the server from home using either the domain name or IP address. I used to be able to but we've recently changed ISP & router and I'm not sure if this has affected it.
DNS Basics: the DNS server basically resolves a 'name' to an IP address. E.g. mail.mydomain.com to the IP address of the mailserver.
When you are inside the local network (LAN), your computers probably find the server using a local IP address. When you are outside the LAN, then your computer will find it EITHER by using the public IP address of your firewall OR using a name which will resolve to the same.
Since it worked before you changed ISPs, I'm guessing that you had it set explicitly to the WAN IP address. This will have changed with the change of ISP.
Easiest way to fix this is to use the same host name as you MX record is set to. So if your MX record is mail.mydomain.com then use this as it is obviously resolving to the IP address of your mail server (or more exactly, the IP address of your firewall).
NEXT, since your router has also changed (and I presume this is also your firewall) then you need to ensure that the imap port required (143) is open and port-forwarding to the internal IP address of the mail server.

Can't login to server, from Server.app

I have a very odd problem. After an clean install of Lion Server 10.7.2 i can't access my server from server.app or Server admin?
I have tryied this solution but no luck http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3960?locale=en_US
The servermgrd IS loaded?
Anybody theres have a clue??

As root go to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons and edit com.apple.servermgrd.plist and change the "Disabled" boolean to "<true/>". Then say:
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.servermgrd.plist
For some reason that I have not discovered yet the system keeps changing the bool back to "false" on occasion.

How can i access dmz server via public ip from inside?

hi all !
As shown in Figure，how can i access the server in dmz zone via public？
i can access it via private ip 192.168.1.1 now,but i can't access it via 101.100.1.2.
who can help me ?
thank you !

Hi,
You would have to configure Static NAT from DMZ to INSIDE for the server in the same way you have done for DMZ to OUTSIDE.
Basically in the following way for example
object network DMZ-WEB
host 192.168.1.1
nat (dmz,inside) static 101.100.1.2
This would enable your users on the "inside" to access the "dmz" server with the public IP address. And naturally only with the public IP address after this NAT.
Hope this helps
Please do remember to mark a reply as the correct answer if it answered your question.

Can't access my dvr from safari

Hi,
I have a problem with safari. I can't access my dvr from the browser.
After I sign in to my dvr webpage this message comes instead of loading java: The requested URL was not found on this server
I have this message when I try with Mozilla:
CacheEntry[http://xx.xxx.xx.xx/application.jar]: updateAvailable=false,lastModified=Thu Jan 01 01:00:00 CET 1970,length=40266
Missing Application-Name manifest attribute for: http://xx.xxx.xx.xx/application.jar
Missing Permissions manifest attribute in main jar: http://xx.xxx.xx.xx/application.jar
java.io.FileNotFoundException: abc (Permission denied)
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Sorry... I didn't realize that this problem was common, not rare.
I remove the Discussion-related cookies and restarted. I did get to the sign-in page this time, but after clicking the sign-in button, I got "An Internal Server Error Has Occurred." (Nothing else on the page.)
I decided to check cookies again, and the same ones that I eliminated were back again. Needless to say, repeating the exercise didn't work.
Resetting Safari is out of the question. I have years worth of settings and cookies stored there for a good reason, and I'm not going to start over from scratch. I can't imagine why anyone would, unless they have a whole lot of time on their hands.
So... I've decided that this is Apple's problem. If I need Apple Discussions I'll use a browser that works.. which apparently is every browser except Safari. Now that's ironic!

(ATV2 tv) can't access rented show from my favorites.

(ATV2 tv) can't access rented show from my favorites. Error is "The iTunes store is currently unavailable. Try again Later." I have updated and rebooted ATV, as well as my router a number of times. I don't want to rent it again, any ideas?

Thank you! Knowing someone else had the issue helped me fix it on my end!
I'm guessing it's a server issue of some sorts.. maybe just some accounts. It's not the first time favorites has been broken, last time it was broken I just couldn't enter the favorites area. The spinny thing just appeared forever.
My fix: though nothing in favorites works (every time I press select on the show I want it displays the same error as you get), from the main menu with the TV shows menu open, but favorites not yet entered, press the up button and it'll move the cursor to the first image in the menu of rentals at the top of the screen. Easier anyway! Didn't know you could!
On top of that, though I'm now unable to rent via favorites itself, I can do so via the "top tv rentals" thing.
Hope this helps and they fix it soon! :/

JMS: can I access SAP messages from extenal Java

- Can I access SAP Messages from an external (non-SAP) java program?
- Do I use JNDI or can I call using a jar file from my java invocation?
- Do I have to define a queue (or does SAP JMS have queues)
- What port do I use?
Thanks

Hi John,
> - Can I access SAP Messages from an external
> (non-SAP) java program?
>
Yes, you can use the JMS provider on the Web AS from a standalone java program.
> - Do I use JNDI or can I call using a jar file from
> my java invocation?
You connect your remote java client to the server by getting an InitialContext. The you lookup the JMS resources (such as Topic- or Queue ConnectionFactory, etc.) from the JNDI. You can have a look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/25/bf8f44540c469abc19fb6ac3ac7885/frameset.htm">this</a> page for more info.
>
> - Do I have to define a queue (or does SAP JMS have
> queues)
>
The JMS Provider on the Web AS provides default connection factories that you can use to create a topic ot queue. The lookup strings you have to use are
jmsfactory/default/TopicConnectionFactory
for topics and
jmsfactory/default/QueueConnectionFactory
for queues.
> - What port do I use?
>
You use the P4 port (50004 by default for instance number 00) when obtaining the InitialContext with this code:
java.util.Properties properties = new Properties();
// set the properties of the connection
properties.put("Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY", "com.sap.engine.services.jndi.InitialContextFactoryImpl");
properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "<Server_Host>:<p4_port>");
properties.put("Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL", "Administrator");
properties.put("Context SECURITY_CREDENTIALS", "admin_password");
// start initial context with the properties specified
InitialContext context = new InitialContext(properties);
Hope that helps!

I contact Vodafone they said it's microsoft issue then the latter said it's blackberry problem. i have tried everything nothing seems to work.. I don't want to register my hotmail account on my BB, but i want to access it through browsing as i do on my PC.. I will be really gratful.. thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ggggrrrr, i really hope that's wrong, i would also be moving away from BB sharpish if that's the case. Hoping someone cleverer than me can come up with a solution, the BB manual certainly doesn't help. Like the first poster I have tried getting vodafone to help and also hotmail, both without success.

How can I access iTunes media from my iPad to my time capsule

How can I access iTunes media from my iPad to my time capsule with out a computer

Really not suitable.. The TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. it is not a media server..
You can move your itunes library to the TC.. but if you do that.. one day the TC will die and take your library with it.. as well as giving slow response to every network device.. this is really not suitable.

Suddenly can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail

Suddenly, I can not access .mac mail from Apple Mail (Version 2.1.1 (752.3)).
For quite a few years I have been using Apple Mail to access my .mac email. As of last Friday, Mail stopped working. Nothing has changed (accept for the installation of the latest OS X security upgrade - SecUpd2006-008Univ.pkg).
I can still access my .mac mail through the .mac web browser and I can still access it through SnapperMail on my Palm Treo 680. But, when I open Apple Mail on my MacBook, it does not do anything, just sits there. When I open the Activity Viewer window, 3 activities are going on:
1. Opening Mailbox
2. Synchronizing with Server (Connecting to...)
3. Synchronizing with Server (Synchronizing with...)
After a few minutes, the error triangle appears next to the Inbox and .Mac logos on the left hand panel.
I have tried Apple Mail from several locations (different ISP / WiFi / LAN) over several days but get the same problem.
Does anyone have ideas for a solution?
Regards
Peter

Let’s first make sure that the update is installed properly, and post back with your observations when done.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the update that appears to not have been installed properly. You may also need to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Can't access my mac from another computer

Ok, i have been able to access my G5 mac using Tiger from my G4 PB using tiger in the past.
I installed Leporad (family pack) on both machines. Now i can't access the G5 from the PB. the settings use to be correct. I kind of gave up, but i just would never get the log in or see the G5.
Today, i finally had the oppurtunity to try using the Back to My Mac feature. My G5 was on at home and i had a wireless connection at work and needed a file on my G5. so i went to the shared section in the side bar and it wasn't there to access.
When i got home i tried again. This time i could see the G5 in the side bar, but could not tell if it was through the internet or if i was seeing it through my wireless network.
when i tried to access using the back to my mac by clicking on the shared volume in the side bar, i could not access it, it finally gave me an error message saying that the server may not be available.
the weird thing is, if i choose to share screen, i could access the G5. I would get a log in window and log in no problem.
the setting in my shared preference seem to be the same for both computers.
any idea where to start on figuring this out.

Today, i finally had the oppurtunity to try using the Back to My Mac feature. My G5 was on at home and i had a wireless connection at work and needed a file on my G5. so i went to the shared section in the side bar and it wasn't there to access.
Do you have a .Mac account? And are both Macs setup to use the .Mac account? Without a .Mac account, the Back-to-My-Mac feature is not going to work, as you need .Mac to act as the middle man in establishing the connection.
In addition, does your work have a corporate firewall? If it does, they most likely block the networking ports that BTMM uses.
When i got home i tried again. This time i could see the G5 in the side bar, but could not tell if it was through the internet or if i was seeing it through my wireless network.
Very likely this is local LAN via Bonjour.
when i tried to access using the back to my mac by clicking on the shared volume in the side bar, i could not access it, it finally gave me an error message saying that the server may not be available.
Do you have your Firewall enabled? Security System Preferences
Did you enable Screen Sharing (I'm guessing you did, but I figure it is worth asking) Sharing System Preferences
NOTE: I do not have a .Mac account, and my use of Screen Sharing has been just one or 2 experiments, but I figured I could at least ask some questions that might uncover something useful.
