I need assistance setting up a classroom network

I have an Apple Lab in my room, have been using a cobbled together network and now need to establish a solid network protocol and get my lab working fully.
Computers in use:
     iMac's (17, various generations)
     Powerbooks (4)
     Macbook (1)
     MacPro desktop (1)
          LaCie 10TB storage
          Pegasus R4 3TB storage
     I have an ethernet wired network connecting all computers, manually assigned IP addresses...what I would like to do is use the network for more than just a platform for Remote Desktop...I'd like to utilize it to the fullest - allowing all machines access to the storage devices (hooked to the MacPro via Thunderbolt) and working in my Tri-Caster 410 switcher (a NewTek product that can handle duel ethernet connections, one to the school's network and one to my network). so that our file transfer is not tennis-shoe transfer and we can use the storage devices as entire class storage devices.
     All the parts are there, I just need to know how to make the connections and how to set up a pathway through the MacPro to the storage devices that won't allow complete access to that computer...
many thanks
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
I think this mostly depends on how you setup File Sharing on Mac Pro, & the Permissions/users you setup, but first...
10.5.x/10.6.x/10.7.x/10.8.x instructions...
System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Also, what are the IP Ranges on the dual Ethernet connections?

Need help setting up wireless internet network

I have a 1 GHz iMac G4 (purchased in 2003) that has a dsl connection to the internet via an ethernet cable and the dsl modem that was provided by my internet service (earthlink). My friend recently gave me her imac - same model. I've given it to my son for his room and would like to set up a wireless network so I can get his computer on the internet too.
I've read enough here to figure out that our computers are compatible with the AirPort Extreme card. But what other equipment do I need? How many Airport Extreme cards? an AirPort station?, a router? I'm clueless but very good at following instructions. So if there is an FAQ somewhere that would be helpful too.
Thanks!

Sarah, Welcome to the discussion area!
You need a wireless router. You can use one of Apple's or a 3rd party wireless router.
You can connect one of the iMacs to the router via Ethernet if you want. Or you can add AirPort Extreme cards to both iMacs.

Help/Advice needed on setting up home office network please

Hi
I hope someone can help me with some technical difficulties i am having with a home / office network.
Computer equipment i have is:
2 desktop PCs on same floor different rooms.
2 laptop PCs to be used wired in office and/or Wifi if possible any room
2 Apple mac Laptops to be used wired in office and/or Wifi in any room.
1 HP Laser printer with network enabled
1 TB HDD network enabled
1 Linksys WiFi extender unit
Connection equipment:
I have an NTL Cable modem
Linksys WR54G ver 2 router ( with the option of going to aLinksys WRT300N ver 2 router)
A Netgear Dual speed hub DS116
What i would like to do is have one office holding 1 desktop pc, 1 HP Printer and the other office holding the 2nd desktop PC with USB printer attached. I would like to be able to go Wifi around the house for all PC & Mac Laptops with the option of connecting them by wire in the office if required.
Idealy i would like to be able to share files, folders and printers between all units as well as all having internet access through the router's firewall.
I also use Zone Alarm Pro.
At the moment i have in one office the WR54G attached to the cable modem with one Desktop PC wired in to one of the 4 ports. in a 2nd port i have a cable going to the 2nd office into the DS116.
Connected to the DS116 is the 2nd Desktop PC, the HP Laser printer and the 1TB HDD.
The Wifi extender is in another room.
For some reason every now and then the whole system goes wobbly and seems to loose settings at which point internet access is denied and ihave to go back to 1 pc into the cable modem and starting rebuilding the network.
Can anyone give me an idiots guide to settin this kind of system up with specificsettings on each item if possible.
I would say i would also like to use 1 desktop PC for gaming now and then which at the moment sems very hit and miss with speed etc.
Any help warmly welcomed
Best Rgds

Following on from Steve's advice I would probably not bring the unwanted channels all the way down on the faders, either in a live mix or if mixing subsequently in Audition, as it may change the background acoustic too much. Leaving a bit of the background mics faded up a bit helps to pull the whole recording together and also means you have a better chance of getting all the faders back up in time for when they are needed without missing anything.
I didn't actually touch on this at all - perhaps I should have. There's definitely more than one way to undertake this sort of operation, and it rather depends on exactly what equipment you have available. So far, we know you've got potentially 16 channels available, but have no idea how you were planning to cover the different aspects of it. For instance, I would always consider it worth it to have a pair of ambience mics up all the time - which would get around this particular problem anyway....
The other thing you really have to pay quite a bit of attention to before you start is making damn sure (the previous day) that everything is in good order, and it all works when connected together. And if, for instance, you're going to rely on radio mic feeds from clergy, that you can tap into these without difficulty, etc. Make sure your mic stands are not falling apart, and that you've got all the right mic stand adaptors - amazing how many times people have screwed that one up!
What this generally means is that even if you're familiar with the location, you still need to do a reccé just to make sure that everything in the venue is as you think. And if you can grab a dedicated assistant for the event, go for it. This can make carting stuff about a lot easier, and provide additional security for your equipment. And sometimes other benefits too, like tea...

I had to call Verizon and spend an hour on the phone, my Versalink is about 3 years old and I never updated it. There is a software update which makes it a little more mac friendly. Cables still run through it on the Ethernet port. I was able to turn the wireless feature off on the Versalink (to stop my neighbors and kids from bypassing the APE and just factory reset the APE and set it up with a shared IP adrs instead of bridging it. Also made sure I turned off the guest network on the APE. Once it was set up I clicked on Airport in the Airport Utility then wireless Clinets, jotted down the client I wanted to restrict access to (Kid's Laptop) then go back to Airport screen, last option on right Access then MAC Adrs Access Control change to "Timed Access", then click the + on the bottom of the window, type the MAC adrs you want to restrict and set time limits, when complete click done..... Only took me a week and a half to figure it out...... Good luck, if that doesn't help let me know, but I'm no expert...
thanks!!
i think i have the most recent 327w update, because it now shows my modem screen in a red color and it is broken into 3 sections across the screen.
as far as the AEBS is concerned, you did not use it in bridge mode at all?
i thought you had to connect 1 cable from it to the 327w? I have about 5 items i will be connecting, so i will probably run any wired from the AESB, but not sure yet?
thanks, and yaeh last time my network took me a bit of time as well!!
what kind of encryption are you running?
thanks

Need help setting up Vmware Workstation Network....

If I simply create 5 Windows Virtual Machines and assign each a different IP address subnet, how will they be able to use my local network router to get to the internet? Also how will autodiscovery between the machines work?
For instance, if my local router is operating on 192.168.1.1 and they all have subnets of 192.168.10.x, how would I get them to the internet?
I also need to be able to RDP and LogMeIn to the virtual machines.
I thought I saw something about setting up virtual routers or gateways at some point, but I am unable to find anything that explains that stuff on a beginner level.

What you want to do is configure the network as host only. That should isolate them from the outside network.
Of course if you didn't want to bother with that, you could simply give them a different ip address subnet than your outer network and no default gateway. That would prevent them from seeing anything on your local network and vise versa.http://pubs.vmware.com/workstation-11/index.jsp#com.vmware.ws.using.doc/GUID-93BDF7F1-D2E4-42CE-80EA...

Dumb question. Do I need to set up a wireless network for Apple TV?

Wireless newbie here. Recently purchased Apple TV... Trying to set it up and I don't see my wireless network available on the list... I have a built in Airport Extreme in my Mac Mini which I've never used before (or anything else wireless for that matter). I turned it on and I can see my MIni listed (and checked) under the computer to computer networks... Do I need to do something else? Thanks!

you have an airport extreme wireless card in your mac mini which lets you join a wireless network but you will need an airport express or airport extreme or other wireless router to actually create your wireless network... i.e. you don't go directly from mini to appleTV.. you need a wireless router between them.
Mac Mini <~~~~> Wireless router <~~~~> AppleTV
or you can also connect them with ethernet again through a router...

Need to set up a dual network with AEBS"n" and AEBS"g"

I've got a new Airport Extreme Base Station 5GHz (n only) wireless network set up for my new Apple TV.
But now my older Macs can't access the wireless network. So I'd like to set up my old AEBS"g" in order to connect.
I tried plugging the ethernet between the two AEBS and configuring them. I got a message saying the WAN wasn't plugged in. I thought I needed to use the LAN.
I'm really confused. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
-Mike

IMO, page 41 on the "Designing AirPort Networks" is incorrect. On the TC or AEBS that's set as a bridge, the WAN port should be set as Ethernet (not PPPoE), and the Ethernet uplink cable should go to the WAN port. If not, you will see the "WAN wasn't plugged in" message.

Help need to set up Printing to network printer

What happened when you created the connection? Did you upload
the
connection file to the server? Is your testing server local

Need help setting up ftp/home network

I am hoping someone can help me here.
I have an emac, imac dv se, and 2 powerbooks. They are all connected to the internet via airport cards. I want to allow all of these devices to access a firewire drive that is connected to the emac AND make those files accessible to me and my wife over the internet. what is the easiest way to do this and what additional hardware/software do I need?
thanks in advance for the assistance!
emac 1 Ghz SD 768 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

Turn on FTP in the sharing control panel. Use Connect to Server in the Finder with an FTP URL or use an FTP client or ftp in the terminal. With FTP you can do a:
$ cd /Volumes/nameofthefirewiredrive
then go from there.
File Sharing on OS X only shares the "Public" directory in your home directory. You might be able to put a symlink inside Public to /Volumes/thedrivesname
$ ln -s ~/Public/externaldrive /Volumes/externaldrive
and try enabling Personal File Sharing and trying Connect to Server.
If your wireless network uses DHCP, remember that the IP address of a given computer may change without warning if DHCP give it a different IP. You might have better luck using the Bonjour/Rendevous name of the computer to connect consistently.

I need help setting up a wireless network and getting connected to the internet. I have a RCN cable modem now and tried to install a wireless linksys today and it was a disaster

I have a MAC desktop and RCN cable that I have internet through now. I tried to set up a linksys wireless router today and could not get the network settings right, or figure out how to create the network, or get connected. I was successfull for only a few minutes because my phone and laptop had picked up the signal. However my desktop still would not connect to the internet. I had to restart my cable modem after because even after returning to directly inserting the desktop to the modem I could not get on the internet. I am able to get on now but would like to have wireless for my laptop and phone. Do I have to have an Apple router? Are there any easy steps I can take to set up a network without doing any damage to my desktop? I am so lost and have been getting pop ups and even my time changed.
Please help a new person to Apple!

why dont you go to linksys.com/downloads and get the quick install for your adpter

New to SCOM need assistance setting up an Alert / Monitor

I've recently deployed SCOM 2012R2 to accompany our SCCM deployment and to replace other monitoring software. I'm having difficulty figuring out how to create a monitor that will alert us when a logical drive falls below a specified value of free megabytes.
I'm having difficulty in finding documentation that will help me do the following:
We have a 2 node cluster with a 5GB drive (X:) we use as a mounting drive to mount larger disks within as spanned volumes. We need to have a monitor in place so that we know when these drives are reaching the end of their capacity and we need to bring
a new one online. The volumes being mounted here are approximately 2.4TB each. The monitors we want in place are for if the disk has less than 20GB, 15GB, 10GB, 5GB, 1GB, & 512MB ... so I am looking at 6 alerts total for one disk.
Once a disk fills up it we stop all write actions to it and start using the new one, so I also need to stop/prevent any space monitoring on disks not currently being written to.
Any assistance greatly appreciated!
# When I wrote this script only God and I knew what I was doing. # Now, only God Knows!

Hi There,
You can create a basic Simple threshold unit monitor. Target the monitor to "Windows server operating system" with the below configuration as per your screenshot.
The below setup will do good for Space below 20GB.
This setup will work if your instance remains same "X:\IMGWH29-33" same all the time in all the machines in which you want this alert.
So what i have mentioned is for the below X:\ Drive throw a alert if the disk space goes below 20 GB.
And as the Permfon is collecting data in MB and not in GB hence i have mentioned threshold as 20000 so if the space goes less than 20000 MB (20 gb) throw me an alert.
Threshold settings Under threshold is critical i.e If it is below 20 Gb throw me an alert, If it is above 20 Gb dont throw me an alert.
Hope this helps. Also confirm if the instance name "X:\IMGWH29-33" remains same all the time or not.

I need assistance setting up my time capsule please.

Can't setup my time capsule. Keep getting blinking amber light which means not connected to the internet.

We can likely help, but we will need to gather more information before we can begin to start the troubleshooting process. Things like.....
1) What device that you have the Time Capsule connected to.........in other words, the make and model number of your modem....or....it might be a modem/router combination device as well.
2) We assume that you have the Time Capsule connected to the modem with an Ethernet cable. Would that be correct? Have you verified that the Ethernet cable itself is working correctly?
3) What operating system are you using on your computer to configure the Time Capsule?
If you have a Mac, and are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click on About This Mac and post back with the OS X version number that you see there.
