IP-address on Macbook Air using VPN

I'm running Server on OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 on my iMac (mid 2010). I have no problem connecting to L2TP VPN with my iPhone 5s and my Macbook Air (early 2014 running Mavericks 10.9.3).
When I am connected to the VPN with my iPhone on the wifi at work, the IP-address is the same as my iMac's address connected to the home network. However, when checking the IP-address at work on my Macbook Air while connected to the VPN it shows the actual IP-address on the work network, not my home network.
Because of this, I'm not able to perform services that require me to be connected to my home network with my Macbook Air. This works with my iPhone.
What is the reason for this? The VPN-settings entered on my iPhone are exactly the same as on the Macbook Air.

A bit more info about the two networks please!
It sounds like there's IP Address Confilcts between the two locaitons, and your home network is confused about where the info is coming from.
What's the Internal IP Address of the server?
What's the Internal IP address of your workplace?
Are there any hints in the log files on your Macbook Air?
Does the Macbook Air even successfully connect to the VPN from work? 
Will it connect to the VPN from any other networks?

  • Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud.  Is this a known bug?

    Number of address book contacts on MacBook Air using iCloud is one less than my other iDevices using iCloud.  Is this a known bug?  I've checked for duplicates on my iDevices and I can't find any.  Additionally, I have wiped all the data from the Application Support folder of the address book and re-connected to iCloud, but it always shows 308 contacts instead of 309 found on iCloud and the rest of my devices.  Any ideas?

  • Is there a way to move music I had on my iPhone 4 to my new macbook air, using iTunes it seems to want to synch to iTunes library where I don't have any music stored?

    is there a way to move music I had on my iPhone 4 to my new macbook air, using iTunes it seems to want to synch to iTunes library where I don't have any music stored?

    Hello KM47,
    It soundsl ike you are needing to copy your iTunes purchases to your computer rather than sync it at this point. You can use the following article to transfer your purchases with the following article:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
    If you have your library stored on another computer, you can also copy the library to the new MacBook Air with this article:

    You may have to see about using the Recovery HD partition to attempt to erase and restore useful function of the capacity lost to the former Windows installation.
    And you may have to backup your contents outside the computer to do it. Disk Utility on the Mac OS X historically has not been able to touch a BootCamp created partition; so if BootCamp cannot remove it, then you have to see how to do the equivalent of a reformat of the entire drive (less Recovery partition?) then reinstall your OS X. Maybe from internet recovery, then get your applications, etc from the Mac App store, etc.
    A complete system clone of your OS X on an external HDD would be another method to restore after reformat, of the portion you want whole again, not necessarily the space where Recovery may live.
    There may be (an)other way(s).
    Perhaps someone with recent experience
    in this matter can reply & discuss options.
    With my antiques, they almost know what I want before I tell them.
    Hopefully yours will after you talk to it awhile.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    I don't think so, because this is not about garageband specificaly, it's about the mac using internal speakers and iphone headset microphone at the same time. Input Microphone via Jack and Output speakers on the laptop.

  • Does 2013 macbook air use a special version of OSX 10.8.4?

    does 2013 macbook air use a special version of OSX 10.8.4?

    Don't know about a 'simple data transfer via USB drive'........
    Have to make sure 3rd party software (like MS Office 2008 and CleanMyMac 2, etc) make the trip over to the new Macbook Air. Also, my current MacBook Pro does not have USB 3 and that would make a connect slow, very slow.  Best bet I think is a Firewire 800 to Thunderbolt connect.
    Sadly, this is turning out to be 'like two ships passing in the night' in that OSX 10.8.5 is due out 'soon, very soon' and it reportedly will include drivers, etc that make this issue moot.  However, as they say, 'it's my money and I want it now!' , so I won't wait and will settle for 4/5 of the loaf.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Issue with external display darkening via HDMI on macbook air using VLC

    I had a 2010 macbook pro which never had this issue.
    When I play a downloaded movie on macbook air in VLC anywhere from 45 min to 1 hour the tv will darken to barely see anything, I then have to hit esc to take VLC out of full screen mode then select full screen mode again and the tv is back to normal brightness showing movie.
    This does not happen with Miro, but most of the downloaded movies (avi) do not have sound in Miro which is why I use VLC when Miro has no sound for a particular movie.
    Anyone run into this issue before with VLC on a macbook air using mini display port to HDMI on a TV?
    This wouldnt be an issue if the sound worked in Miro for these movies! Some AVI files do have sound in Miro but most do not.
    Thanks!!!

    Bought the mini display port -> dvi adaptor, plugged in the dvi and everything seems to be fixed.
    Nice crisp 1920x1080 display, no shivers...
    Looks like the signal from vga is not robust enough for this resolution.
    Solved.

    You don't. iOS doesn't support file transfer over BT.
