Is it possible to connect my home computer to files stored on my running osx server mac via VPN

Is it possible to connect my home computer to files stored on my running osx server mac via VPN. I have VPN set up and can access the Calendar and Contacts via a web browser, however I want to be able to access data files store on the hard drive and shared external drives connected to it. The MacPro runs OSX Server Lion. Any Ideas if this is even possible or how to do it!

Yeah, that's what I kinda figured. Maybe there is another solution - here is my situation:
I have internet and cable service through Telus. Telus' system consists of a modem/set-top-box that provides internet (ethernet and wifi) and TV signal (corded) for one TV and another set top box that provides internet (ethernet only) and TV signal (corded) for my other TV in the basement.
I have an Airport Extreme connected to the modem upstairs which I am using as my home network wifi. I also have an external hard drive (USB) connected to it on which my iTunes library is shared with all Apple machines in my home network.
My upstairs ATV, connected to my APE, works fine and streams internet (Netflix), iTunes Store and my shared iTunes drive just fine - the APE is 3 feet away with a great signal.
My downstairs ATV, also connected to my APE via wifi, does not stream so well, particularly the media from the shared drive. I suspect that this is the case because of signal degredation.
Any suggestions on how to reconstruct my home network to enable my downstairs ATV to work properly?

Trying to connect a home computer using Outlook 2013 to my business Exchange server 2010.

I have a new Dell XPS with Outlook 2013 installed and the native email client installed. I was able to enter in my exchange 2010 credentials to the native email client and it worked. when I try to enter the credentials for Outlook 2013 I received an error
message.
"the name cannot be resolved. the connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable.
outlook must be online or connected to complete this action"

Hi,
To narrow down the cause, I’d like to recommend the following troubleshooting:
Check if you can connect to your Exchange server externally with another account.
Double confirm the error message when test your RPC over HTTP connectivity.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

Need help connecting to home computer on Aiport from work with afp://

My computer at home has File Sharing enabled and is connected to a wireless network.
I want to connect to my computer at home from work using afp://
It is my experience I would connect to the computer with this format afp://[email protected] if it is not connected to the Aiport. But since it is using the airport, that IP address only connects to the router. How can I then tell the router which 10.0.1.* computer to connect to?
Is there a afp:// format to use ?!?: afp://[email protected] (just an example?)

And that is what evern other forum and webiste tells me. But no one or nothing tells me how. This iks the closest I have found:
to implement inbound port mapping of port 548 (AFP file sharing), to the private IP address of the Mac you are trying to access
Can you give me a step by step how to do or a link with more details.
If I translate my french system -> Admin Airport -> Port Mapping
Public port : ?
Private address : 10.0.1.X
Private port : ?

Ipod touch shows connection with home computer but can't access internet

Just got ipod touch...and can't connect to internet on home computer. Wifi is on and it shows connection to my home computer but I can access the internet.

What iP address is shown on the iPod for network connection? If it starts with 169 you are not connected to the network, the 169 IP is assigned by the iPod and not obtained form the router.
I would try:
- powering off and then back on yur router.
- Reseting network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
- The troubleshooting here:

Home Sync never completes on a logout from OSX Server

I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 and MacBook running same rev level. Seemed to have successfully configured Open Directory on the Mac Pro to manage mobile accounts. Mac Pro OD also is configured with AFP file sharing turned "on" and /Network share for storing portable home folders for the mobile accounts.
When logging into a managed mobile account on the MacBook, Home Sync fires up fine and completes its work. Created a file and saved it. Log out and Home Sync places file back into the Mac Pro repository for the Home Folders (under /Network). All seems well, until....
I decide to do some work on the MacPro with the managed mobile account. The login completes fine. I work with the file I originally created while on the MacBook. The problem occurs when I logout from this session. A message pops up indicating, and I paraphrase, that a Sync would not be necessary if I were to use /Network location. I click ok and the system proceeds to perform a Home Sync that then runs forever (ok all night or 8 hours after which time I click cancel).
Any ideas on resolving this problem? Thanks!

Please disregard my earlier post. I found what my problem is. I had the incorrect IP address setup on my client (long story).

Connect to Home Computer using Mail / iChat / Automator / Script Editor

http://screenerschoice.com/video_tutorials/ScreenSharing/ScreenSharing.html
1. Start with Automator > Choose Custom Workflow
2. Drag Launch Application into the window and choose iChat
3. With whatever account you have signed at home (you need 2 accounts), make sure it is logged on. On automator, hit the Record button and Watch Me Do will start recording. (You have to do it in this sequence and no shortcuts or it can get hung up and not continue with the script.)
4. Choose the Finder > Applications > Type iChat > Hit Apple O (for open)
5. In the iChat window for your buddy list click once on the name you want to share with
6. Then on the top menu, go to Buddies > Share my screen with ....
http://screenerschoice.com/video_tutorials/ScreenSharing/Automator.png
7. Save this workflow as an application
8. Open Applications > Applescript > Script Editor
9. Hit Record
10. Go to Finder > Then keep going through until you find the application you just created and double click on it. Then hit stop on Script Editor.
11. Save this as an application as well. Mail will run these apps, but not the Automator apps.
12. Go to mail and go to rules
13. Create a rule with a few stipulations that will trigger the script. This way, not just anyone can send a script to your computer to control it. It would have to meet all the criteria you set it. Then in the action list in the rule, go to run applescript and choose the file you created with Script Editor.
14. In mail at the other computer, it needs to be set to check mail every so often. I do mine every minute.
15. Also on that computer, the finder window needs to be open. If it is not, the script will not run properly. I don't have time to figure out a workaround for that, so in the meantime, I just open the finder window and minimize it to my dock.

Haven't tired it yet, but a thought would be to create an alias of iChat and place it on the desktop. Then save your scripts on the desktop as well. When you run everything from the desktop, you shouldn't have to have a Finder window open.

2nd home computer can't see itunes library on network server drive

Ripped CD library and streaming Airplay successfully to home system. Moved itunes library to network drive which is a Seagate BackupPlus connected to ASUS ac-68u router with USB 3.0. Have Apple Media server turned on for the asus router. Used iTunes Edit/Preferences/Advanced to change library location, Checked both “keep itunes media folder organized” and “copy music to itunes media folder when adding to library”. Turned on home sharing, used same apple id on both computers. Original computer (Win8.1) I ripped to can see and use the library fine, but the other one (Win 7 hardwired to router) shows only the 4 sample songs. Probably not permissions because I can use Windows Explorer to look at the cd titles in the Music folder. Aloha, Mike

I may have misunderstood, but the iTunes folder will only be there if you have copied it from your old computer to the iPod first. If you no longer have the old computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device,

Connection through JDBC to dBase files stored on a different UNIX computer

I would like to access files created in dBase (*.dbf) format and stored directly on the hard disk of a different or remote UNIX OS platform standalone computer which is not connected to any network through a JDBC driver. I need to do this from my home Windows XP system with J2SDK 1.4.2_19 and Tomcat already installed on it. May I know if there is any driver with this feature and how do I go about establishing connection, please?
Thank you.

How do i connect an external usb webcam to my macbook air running OSX Yosemite

i have purchased a bird box with an external USB spy cam. My macbook isn't recognising it. i have downloaded VCR software as recommended by the manufacturer, but it doesnt matter if i open that software or photo booth it only gives the option of the facetime camera.
i have read on the net about apple having problems with this sort of thing, and maybe about disabling isight but didnt want to download something to disable something which may cause me more problems. Any ideas?

How about this?

Before I can tell you what to do, I must get more info.
Are you trying to connect this home computer to the Internet OR are you trying to allow users from the Internet to connect to that computer?
If you are trying to connect this home computer to the Internet:
What is the OS and Version?
If you know it is Windows but you don't know which version..
a) Go to Start -> Run.
b) Type in winver and press enter.
If you are trying to to allow users from the Internet to connect to that computer, not only what OS and Version does that computer use, what app are you trying to forward for?
