I need a remote access application

I need a remote access application for my Mac OS X 10.5.8 so that when I'm at my home office I can access my remote business office network that uses PCs. Is there an application I can download to do this? Is Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac what I need? I am not a technical person at all so I need something simple.

You didn't specify what kind access? Control and observe or just simple file sharing/access.
How do you plan on getting into your office's network? do you have a VPN setup? If not, are the correct ports open and forwarded on the main router?
Lots of unknown variables here. Without knowing what's in place it'll be hard to steer you in the right direction once you figure out what type of access you need.
If Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection is definitely what you want to use, then please post further question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums

I'm at my parent's place for the weekend and I forgot to bring my charger, I have an essay to finish for Monday but my laptop it completely dead! Is there any way i can remote access my files on their desktop?

yes, but I'm sure you won't do that.
take off back cover from MBP
detach HD
download fresh Ubuntu Live CD
burn it
install Mac HD into desktop. Be careful to not short circut something.
find USB stick
you're ready.
boot from Ubuntu live
go to Macintosh HD - Users - your user - documents
find needed document there
insert USB stick
copy document to it
shutdown
remove Mac HD from PC, set it back to mac

HT4623 I tried to update my iTunes tonight....waited and now it says something is corrupt?? I also tried to update my iPad and it didn't work after waiting for 4 hours for that one. I need a remote access and John Whitaker is the one I want to do this f

What is going on with my iPad update. I waited for four hours letting it "update" and after the alloted time, it tells me that I needed to update my iTunes first. After doing that, I can't even get into my iTunes. It says a file is corrupt. This is making me less and less impressed with these updates. I have trouble 80% of the time.

What iPad model and what iOS is it currently running? Are you trying to update the iOS via wifi or connected to your computer?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I cannot remove Avast from Safari. It is blocking a website that I need for remote access to my office. I have dragged Avast to the trash and have restarted my computer. It is no longer installed as an app on my Mac. Does anyone know what to do?

How do I remove Avast from Safari?

"Avast" is perhaps the worst of the whole wretched lot of commercial "security" products for the Mac. Not only does it fail to protect you from any real danger, it throws false warnings, destabilizes and slows down the computer, and sometimes or always corrupts the network settings and the permissions of files in your home folder. Removing it may not repair all the damage.
Back up all data, then remove "Avast" according to the developer's instructions. Restart.
If you tried to remove Avast by dragging an application to the Trash, you'll have to reinstall it and then follow the instructions linked above.

Remote access a mac in differnt locations

Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I need to remote access my wifes ibook when she travels round the world from my powerbook and access my parient pc from their home because thay are technophobes. What do I need to do? If you can help then great.
I hope to hear your replies soon.

Define 'access' please.
At its simplest level you can turn on Remote Login in System Preferences -> Sharing and then use ssh to connect to the machine from a remote location. This will require a command-line interface, though - which is fine if you're able to do what you want from a command line, but not if you want a GUI. In that case you can use any of the screen-sharing applications such as Timbuktu, Symantec's PCAnywhere, or Apple's Remote Desktop
All of these programs will show a remote system's screen in a window on your machine. Keyboard presses and mouse clicks are transmitted to the remote machine for full GUI control. There is, of course, a lag due to the network latency involved so you'll want a high-speed connection on each end, but they are viable remote control/management solutions in many cases.

Help For Remote Access Via VPN

Need Help
what cisco product or router specification or model can we use for VPN connection in our remote site via Internet Connection
thanks Godbless

There are several options here, but more information is probably needed to give a good recommendation.
1. What type of VPN? A site to site VPN that stays up, or remote VPN that is more on demand?
2. What type of Internet access to have at your remote site?
3. Are you going to also use this as a gateway to the Internet or will this device sit to the side or behind your gateway?
My first inclination is that if you just need occasional remote access to your remote site for support issues check out the ASA 5505. Depending on where you will place it and what amount of user traffic will flow through it, you may be able to get by with just a base license and use IPSec remote VPN.

Need help setting up remote access please

I have a new server 2012 network with a server built specifically for remote access
I need to set up simple remote access to LAN pc's, published apps, and to manage domain remotely
this is only a test setup and I want some security but first want teh basics setup then I can lock down
I ran the wizards and believe most things are done correctly when I added the roles, and firewall is allowing access to that server.
when I try to connect from external I get the remote server's default IIS web page, no remote access options
is there a simple checklist to test services internally and test the web page access internally?
I am not sure what information you may need so please ask for any details that will be helpful
Remote Gateway, licensing, web access and certificates have all been configured using the wizards
David Sheetz MCP

Hi David,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Initially to remote access the application through RD Web we need to use https://servername/rdweb. Also please check the following setting.
In IIS: IIS Sites --> Default --> RDWeb --> Pages --> Application Settings --> DefaultTSGateway:
Set that to your RD Gateway access URL.
Then restart IIS.
Your RemoteApps will then be able to find the proper gateway inbound.
When you created your collection bring up its properties and make sure the URL is specified in RD Gateway settings too. This generates the correct settings in the RDP files.
In addition, please checkthis article for information. Also please see whether you
have configured RD RAP and RD CAP properly and try to uncheck the option “Bypass RD Gateway for local address” under deployment properties and verify the result.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Lync Application and Desktop Sharing - Restrict remote access/Telnet

I have a customer and they are paranoid about using Lync application/desktop sharing which could potentially enable remote users from getting into their internal IT systems. They are asking if we could restrict application/desktop sharing specifically
for appls with remote access capabilities (e.g. Telnet, etc.)? Anyone could share any information relating to this? Thanks!

We can’t do this with Lync Server natively. Maybe you want to vote idea at

Desperate help needed to configure WVC210 for remote access?

Hi, I'm new and desperately need some help on setting up my WVC210 for remote access.
I manage to setup and see images from my WVC210 using my home LAN via both wired and also wireless.
I have 2 questions:
(a) for wireless connection, i only manage to get connection to my WVC210 if i disable the wireless security from my router. But that means i'm opening my wireless LAN to everyone. How can i still get connection to the camera if i enable the wireless security from my router. (FYI: my router is 2Wire ADSL from Singnet Mio)
(b) how can i get connection to my WVC210 from outside or in my office? I type in the camera Fixed IP address (displayed on the front screen) on the web browser, by it shows a error page. Is there some setting that i might need to adjust ?
Pls kindly help me
Thank you.

Bernard,
For Item (2) is there any difference between the camera built-in dyndns updater versus the software updater? I am under the impression that the software updater is easier to manage.
The biggest difference for you is that the camera always stays at the same location, and the laptop goes with you. Every time you access the internet from a different location with the laptop the software updater is sending the new IP address to dyndns.com. This causes you to lose access to your camera because the FQDN doesn't point to your home IP address anymore. Once the dyndns credentials are in the camera (or router) there is no management needed. The device will automatically update dyndns.com with your new IP address as it changes, and you do not need to do anything.
For Item (3), are you saying port forward 1025 is it for the 2nd camera only or for both? Or is it 2nd camera use 1025 and first camera use 8080?
Here's an example of what I mean:
Camera 1: 192.168.1.210 port 1024. In router, forward port 1024 to 192.168.1.210
Local Access: http://192.168.1.210:1024
Remote Access: http://bernards210.dyndns.org:1024 (Example)
Camera 2: 192.168.1.211 port 1025. In router, forward port 1025 to 192.168.1.211
Local Access: http://192.168.1.211:1025
Remote Access: http://bernards210.dyndns.org:1025 (Example)
Camera 3: 192.168.1.212 port 1026. In router, forward port 1026 to 192.168.1.212
Local Access: http://192.168.1.212:1026
Remote Access: http://bernards210.dyndns.org:1026 (Example)
to access the 2 camera outside, do i have to have another dyndns host name or can i use the current one for both camera?
As you can see in the above example, the dyndns name remains the same for remote access to all three cameras. The only change is the port number at the end. Your router will translate the port number to the IP address that the port is forwarded to, allowing you to select the camera that you wish to view by changing the port number in the address.
I was actually thinking that the camera web browser can show 2 camera at the same time. Is it possible?
No. Each browser window will display a single camera. You can however opens multiple instances of your browser to allow viewing of more than one camera simultaneously. A better solution is to install the Video Monitoring Software that is included with the camera which allows you to view multiple cameras in the same window.

Airport Extreme & Remote Access for database application

Hi There,
I have spent an entire week of my time between apple, apple consultants and networking experts trying to get a access remotely to a simple database program inside an wireless network. I have read the discussions on remote access thru the AEBS and port mapping.
I'm hoping an user here can help me with a foolproof solution that the 'apple experts' can seem to design?
All that is required to get this program up and running remotely is the ip address of my computer inside my wireless network. I have set that this computer to a static address but since my dsl provider uses dynamic IP's this doesn't seem to work (or it does for about 12 hours until the IP address of my AEBS is changed). Will port mapping work for me or is my only solution an up-charged static IP?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions......the thought of spending another week on this is frightening!

If your ISP is refreshing the dynamic host configuration of the public ip address assigned to the ISP provided router you will need to request a static ip address from your service provider.
The addresses that are used "inside of your network" are private ip addresses. If you are using the (1) public address for your router (APE)(Apple airport extreme) from the ISP what you are trying to do will not work very well since your router (APE) will use the Public IP address to provide access to the public internet for your private network using the private ip addresses you have used to create your subnet and told your router (APE) about. Three private IP address schemes can be used for a private internet. One for each class. Class A 10.x.x.x/8, Class B 172.16.0.0/12 and Class C 192.168.0.0/24. Translated using dynamic NAT (network address translation with overload) making your LAN hosts using private IP addresses to seem as if they are using a public ip address allowing access to the public internet where only public ip addresses can be used.
PAT (port address translation) is what you are trying to accomplish. For PAT you must have a valid public ip address from your ISP and a private address from your network assigned to interesting host. Use the private ip assigned to the interesting host in the port mapping panel of airport admin that you wish to allow access to via the global internet as well as the tcp or udp port number for the traffic to be directed. For example port 5003 for FileMakerPro or port 20 and 21 for ftp. You should also implement security policies to protect your network and hosts.
Since you said that it works for 12 hours you must have the basics set up correctly. All you need now is to get a static ip address assigned to you from your ISP or use a service such as http://www.dyndns.com/
Hope I didn't ramble on too much

How can I remotely access files over the internet using iPhone? VPN? Do I need to use Server?

Please forgive my ignorance here, as I'm a Windows expert but have only been using Mac for two and a half years. Is it possible to securely access predefined directories on my iMac from a remote computer or device over the inernet, be it a MacBook Pro, iPhone or even a Windows computer or Android phone? Is there an advantage to an Apple-only approach (iPhone and Macs)? Do I need to use Server? Is VPN the method of choice, or is there some other method? I'm not looking to do remote desktop control, just remote file access. Right now I'm using DropBox for the things I need most, but I absolutely will not put sensitive information in there, and soon I will need to have access to more than what DropBox can hold. Also it may be worth noting that I'm currently an Android user but will be going back to iPhone soon if it would be advantageous in this regard.
Thanks!
Daniel

If you desire security, you definately want to use VPN so Lion Server will work. Otherwise, if you have sysadmin experience (or know someone who does), there are free alternatives out there for vpn that can be setup on a cheap linux server and provide the same capabilities.

I have configure remote access feature web application proxy but not configure give the error. The remote name could not be resolved.

I have configure remote access feature web application proxy but not configure give the error. The remote name could not be resolved in server 2012 R2.
I have configure Ad and ADFS different server and try to configure web application proxy different server. what setting are required for connect web application proxy to Ad and ADFS.

Hi,
In addition, please make sure that the port 443 is not blocked by the firewall.
Web Application Proxy requires internal name resolution to resolve the names of backend servers, and AD FS servers. When publishing web applications via Web Application Proxy, every web application you publish requires an external URL. For clients to reach
these web applications, a public DNS server must be able to resolve each external URL that you configure. Note that the external URL must resolve to the same IP address as the Web Application Proxy server, or the external IP address of a firewall or load-balancer
placed in front of the Web Application Proxy server.

Susie

Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Suite applications?

Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Suite applications?

Do I need ongoing Internet access to use my Creative Cloud desktop applications?
No. Your Creative Cloud desktop applications (such as Photoshop and Illustrator) are installed directly on your computer, so you won't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them on a daily basis.
An internet connection is required the first time you install and license your desktop apps, but you can use the apps in offline mode with a valid software license. The desktop apps will attempt to validate your software licenses every 30 days.
For annual members, you can use the apps for up to 99 days in offline mode. Month-to-month members can use the software for up to 5 days in offline mode.

Need to restrict access to multiple servlet applications on same box

Hi!
I have deployed two separate servlet applications to the same IAS. I need
to restrict access to each application - that is requests from one source
should only have access to one application and not the other. The web
server we are using is IIS.
Should I create a separate IAS to deploy the second application to? Can I
restrict based on IP - that is port 80 is reserved to application 1 while
port 81 is restricted to application 2? If so, how do I go about this? It
appears that the web connector only receives on one port (default 80).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sheila

I see. So do you mean that I can override the port number in the proxy startup script itself? I can try doing that and see if it works fine.
About Coherence 3.7, yes. I did see that it has some cool features about proxy discovery. But at this point I am stuck at using 3.6 and 3.6.1.
