JInitiator and network computer question

Hello,
Does someone have experience with running an Oracle Developer
Application on a Network Computer (NC) ?
I am a little bit worry about the jar files. Because a NC does
not have a local cache, I think the JInitiator is downloading
the jar files everytime you set up the NC. Not really a
problem when you have some NC's and a fast network, But what
when you have more than 200 NC's all set up the same time in the
morning ?

Well, I'd like to bridge the LAN and WAN side for AFP through VPN. But I'm guessing that it'd be like opening my LAN to the whole Internet. That sounds like a BIG security hole. If some kind of extra security could be put in place... like making sure that the server won't even let AFP clients authenticate unless the user is authenticated through VPN... but I'm guessing AFP on each client doesn't check that with the VPN server.
Would the next best thing be to move the clients that need access from the WAN into a DMZ behind the VPN router but before the LAN router? That'd mean I need another router...

  • IP Addressing and Network Preferences Question

    I am conneted to the internet via Verizon DSL with an IP address of 69.160.xx.xx. This is connected to a Linksys 4-Port WRTG Wireless router which has the IP address of 192.168.1.1. Thus when setup the IP address in Network Preferences and Server Admin should I give the IP address as Verizon DSL address of 69.160.xx.xx or the 192.168.1.1 I configured on the Linksys router?

    As long as the modem is up and stable, the Linksys can get the info for the WAN from it.
    As far as your server is concerned, the edge of the world is the inside interface on the Linksys. The server just sends stuff to the Linksys and lets the Linksys deal with it.

    Please read my question carefully, this is, I think, a question for the experts. It's not the usual name change question.
    When I setup my new MacBook Pro, something slipped by me and my computer was named First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro (using my real first and last name).
    I changed the computer name in Preferences/Sharing to a new name and Preferences/Accounts to just be Mike. I can right click on my account name, choose advanced, and see that everything looks right.
    However, If I do a scan of my network with my iPhone using the free version of IP Scanner, it lists my computer as First-Lasts-MacBook-Pro! And it lists the user as First-Last.
    So even though another Mac just sees my new computer name, and my home folder is Mike, somewhere in the system the original setup with my full name is still stored. And it's available on a network scan. So my full name might show up at a coffee shop.
    Can I fully change the name without doing a complete re-install of Lion and all my apps?

    One thought... you said the iPhone displayed your computer's old name? I think that you must have used the iPhone with this computer before you changed the name. So no one else's iPhone should display your full name unless that iPhone had previously connected to your Mac. For example, I did this exact same change, and I use the Keynote Remote app to connect with my MacBook Pro. It would no longer link with my MacBook Pro under the old name, and I found that I had to unlink and then create a new link under the new name. So the answer to your question is, there is nothing you need to do on the Mac, but rather the phone, and no other phone will display your full name.

    Hi Dalegu219,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iTunes library is on an external hard drive, but iTunes is not recognizing the library, first make sure the right library is selected.
    You can use these steps to make sure iTunes is opening the library on your external drive:
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of these screens:
    Pick Choose Library and locate the library on your external hard drive.
    From:
    iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one - Apple Support
    If the right library is selected, but you do not see your songs, try re-creating the library using the instructions found here:

    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • Wireless and network printing transcript for Meet the Experts

    On March 16th, HP hosted its first online chat event on wireless and network printing. Below is a transcript of that session.
    I am in the process of planning the next chat event. I would love to hear what topics would interest you, what day of the week and time is best for you, and if you think an hour is too long.
    So, if you get a minute, please let me know.
    Here's the transcript:
    SiobhanF-HP: Welcome! Cameron, Craig, David, and Jim are ready to tackle your questions.
    SiobhanF-HP: Just to remind you if you want to ask a question, you must be a member of the HP Support Forums. If you want to join, go here https://passport2.hp.com/hppcf/createuser.do
    nc256: Do I need a wireless router to hook up my wireless printer?
    CameronL-HP: No, but most people will want to do it this way. You can use a feature called an ad hoc connection to avoid using a router, but it is only covered under an older standard that is slower and less secure. Also, without something to route traffic between the local network and the internet, you cannot get an internet connection. Using a wireless router makes setting up a wireless network easier, and it will generally make the network work better too.
    jest1: I've seen some hardware in stores for a "print server" hardware device that attaches to a network. Is this something that I need in order to run a printer over a network?
    CraigB--HP: Not if you have a printer that has a network connection built in. Many models of HP computers are ready to be connected directly to your wired or wireless network.
    katiepage: How can I print when I am using a VPN?
    DavidH-HP: VPN connections generally hide the rest of your home network to increase the security of the VPN connection. A printer on the network isn’t a security threat but the VPN doesn’t know that. It just hides everything just to be sure. That means that when a VPN is active you need some way to connect to the printer other than your home network. Bluetooth, USB, and even printing to a thumb drive and plugging that into the printer are all ways of getting your print job to the printer that don’t go through your home network.
    SiobhanF-HP: If you have specific product questions, the more information you give us the better we will be able to help you. Getting your exact model number; any error messages; a description of your wireless network including what kind of security you have, what wireless-devices are connected to your network, and your IP address will go a long way to helping us answer your question.
    MelissaP: Why would I want a wireless printer?
    CraigB--HP: The main advantage of a wireless printer is the ability to place the printer somewhere in your home or office even if this is not near your router or computer.
    Deltan: What is the maximum distance I can have between my router and my printer?
    CameronL-HP: It does depend on your environment. Without interference about 25 feet. Walls and floors and other objects can reduce this. The types of walls are important. For example, mirrors and outdoor walls will greatly reduce the indoor range.
     jest1: Is there a preferred wireless router type or brand for wireless printing compatibility? We are using a Linksys 802.11g router in my home.
     JimB-HP: In general, any wireless-router from a name brand manufacturer that has been Wi-Fi certified is compatible with our printers (look for the Wi-Fi logo). We use Linksys in our lab with great success.
     nc256: Are there any digital cameras that can send directly to an HP wireless printer for photo printing?
     DavidH-HP: Many printers support a feature called Pictbridge. If the camera and printer both supports this feature, the camera can be plugged directly into the printer to print photos. Or are you asking about printing over a network connection?
     KevinW: I keep hearing that you shouldn’t use default settings for a network. Why?
     CraigB--HP: There are three reasons not use default settings: First, wireless-routers do not have any wireless security enabled by default. Second, you will be using a common network name in which case you may connect accidentally to your neighbor’s network. Third, your wireless-router is accessible by inadvertent guests who may change the configuration of your wireless-router without your knowledge or use your internet connection without your permission.
    Bodie08: I have an HP Lan attached printer and Windows XP on my home network. Is there a known setting (Firewall/port/other) or patch to address the issue of hpqtra08.exe hanging on Windows XP Shutdown? A number of us in the forum have identified this issue. Thanks!
    DavidH-HP: This problem has been seen in the past but there were attempts to address it. Have you checked to see if there is a later release of software available on the web? (hp.com)
    ZhuLee3: How old is wireless printing technology? I noticed all the experts have around 20 years of experience with it, was there wireless 20 years ago?
    JimB-HP: Wireless printing first appeared with the introduction of the 802.11 standard in late 1990's. HP has been making wireless printers since 2003.
    lpeterson123: What makes wireless so flaky at times?
    CameronL-HP: There are lots of reasons. Wireless signals are affected by distance, walls, metal objects, and other wireless devices like cordless phones. However, most of the problems seem to be from how the network or how security software is configured, and these can also cause things to fail only occasionally or in certain situations. Having a good wireless connection between a PC and printer involves several hardware devices and lots of software made by different companies that all have to work together; if something is not quite right in any of these things then the whole solution looks flaky.
    Bowman16: I use a Mac, are there any features that would not work if I was to set it up for wireless use
    DavidH-HP: All the features will work on a Mac if you install the full HP software solution.
    jest1: Thanks for the answer on the router question. The next question, then, is to ask what would be a recommended consumer-grade wireless-enabled printer (or series) just so I can start my research.
    JimB-HP: Any of our Photosmart or Officejet wireless printers will work with Wi-Fi certified wireless-routers. Our price points really have more to do with how much printing you do. In general, our more expensive printers cost less per page than our less expensive models.
    Bodie08: Why would I choose "spooling" on my PC over "direct connect”?
    CraigB--HP: In general, spooling allows you to use your program sooner than printing directly.
    ZhuLee3: Jim: What is it like to be an "HP Printing Expert"? What kind of stuff do you get to work on, on a day to day basis?
    JimB-HP: I really like my job -- I've always been a radio enthusiast so working on 802.11 technology is really a dream job for me. I'm also fortunate to work with a great team here in Vancouver, WA. More importantly, I like designing equipment that people use in their everyday lives.
    TEACHER1: Recently I changed routers, now I am unable to print wirelessly, even though the SES and wireless network light are steady on my Deskjet 6980 printer. What is the solution? Thanks.
    DavidH-HP: The wireless light indicates that the radio is on but does not indicate that the printer is connected to the network. First check that the printer is connected to the network by printing a network configuration page from the printer.
    AgentRed: I get my internet with a Verizon wireless broadband card. Someone told me that wouldn't work with a wireless printer. Is that true?
    CameronL-HP: Our wireless printers use the 802.11 b, g or n standard which is not compatible with the wireless cellular standard. It would be like trying to connect to a wireless network using Bluetooth. They are different wireless technologies.
    DavidH-HP: Regarding the Verizon card, it is true that you cannot connect the printer over the Verizon connection, but as long as your laptop has Wife you can print to the printer over WiFi at the same time that the Verizon connection is active. This should not be a problem.
    jest1: Is there a "minimum" internet connection that is recommended for wireless printing? We live a bit far from the DSL CO so our connection is sometimes flaky. I would guess that incoming speed shouldn't affect my local wireless LAN but I want to ask it anyway
    CameronL-HP: There are 2 parts to your home network. 1 is your wireless router which manages your local network equipment, then your network connection to the world wide web which your DSL provider gives you. The connection speed of your local network is not affected by your internet connection speed.
    Bowman16: Are any HP printers 802.11n? I do not want to add an 802.11b,g to my network and cause it to slow down.
    JimB-HP: Currently, our printers comply with the 802.11g standard. We are investigation the emerging 802.11n standard.
    ZhuLee3: Will there be a transcript of all the questions and answers from this chat available for viewing after the session? I think I missed some questions at the start.
    SiobhanF-HP: The chat event begins when you joined. Sorry that you can't see what was said before you joined. I hope to have transcript posted tomorrow or on Wednesday at the latest.
    nc256: Where is the future of printers headed? Does HP have any interesting plans with printing technology? And what’s your opinion on whether or not color laser printing will ever approachthe photo realism of ink jet color?
    JimB-HP: The future of HP printing will be characterized by wireless connectivity to not only computers but to mobile internet devices. In fact, as mobile devices become smaller (think phone or netbooks), the need to print from your mobile device might become more relevant.
    jest1: Am I able to print from my iphone to a wireless printer?
    CraigB--HP: You can print photos from your iPhone to HP wireless printers and it works great in my experience. Go to http://www.hp.com/go/iprintphoto to get the details.
    TEACHER1: Thank you. I printed a page. It shows that wireless is disconnected.
    DavidH-HP: Then you just need to input the wireless settings from your new router into the printer. If your printer does not let you input the settings from the front panel, you can use the CD that came with the printer or downloaded from hp.com to configure the printer again ( look for the option to "add a device" ).
    ZhuLee3: Question about security... if I get a wireless printer, what’s to prevent other people within range of my printer, from adding it and printing documents? How is this configured on the actual printer?
    JimB-HP: The simplest way to secure your printer is to enable WPA-PSK security for your wireless network and to use a security pass-phrase that is at least 12 characters long. This configuration is very safe from intruders for the foreseeable future.
    CameronL-HP: It' is also a good idea to use a unique network name, also called an SSID.
    carolj: I have a photosmart C7180 and I have it hooked up to my laptop (windows vista) when the setup completed the printer was put in networking instead of printers and I cannot access it or move it out of there. What do you suggest?
    CraigB--HP: You might need to uninstall and reinstall. Before doing this, make sure your get the latest driver from the HP support at: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1153754&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us This is also where you can get a copy of the instruction book.
    wizll: Hi, I haven't done much research in wireless printing, but I'm interested as I currently have my printer set up the old fashioned way where it's connected to a networked PC, but if the PC is off I can no longer print, which is obviously inconvenient. Do hp wireless printers have a web gui you can connect to once it's on the home network, or is it simply all done from the printer's interface. I've seen some old wired network printers that only use the printer's ui and that seems like a clunky use.
    DavidH-HP: Yes, the HP printers which have networking built-in have what we call an "embedded" web server which allow you to configure settings, check status, and have many other features; on some models you can even scan using the embedded web server.
    nc256: Jim: Will color laser printing ever reach ink jet quality for photos?
    JimB-HP: While never is a long time, inkjet printers will, for the near future, output higher quality photos.
    katiepage: If I'm at home, connected to my office network via VPN, can I access my office networked printers?
    CraigB--HP: Yes, when you are connected to the office VPN, you can print to your office printers. However, you will not be able to print to your home networked printers while you are connected to the VPN.
    jest1: If a friend comes over to my house with their laptop and needs to print something, are they able to do this just by authenticating with my wireless LAN (assuming I have a wireless printer set up)?
    CraigB--HP: In addition to authenticating to your network, you friend will also need to install the printer driver for your printer.
    jpszambelan: Is there a wireless USB device of some kind I can connect to my printer if there is no network connection already built in?
    JimB-HP: HP sells an accessory that adds Wi-Fi capability to your USB printer (see http://www.shopping.hp.com/product/printer/inkjet/wireless/4/accessories/Q6236A%2523A2L) Also, many higher-end wireless-routers allows USB printers to be connected to them to allow sharing of the printer from the network. Note that this solution often limits you to just printing and not scanning from the network.
    rockwoodchev: It seems that my computer can find my printer, but my printer can't find the computer, so that "Scan to computer" won't work. What do I need to do in order to fix that?
    DavidH-HP: This can be blocked by security software running on the PC (such as a personal firewall). Make sure that your firewall is configured to allow communication on your local network. You can also unblock specific ports, but the easiest way is often just to allow communication on the local home network. The specific setting varies from firewall to firewall.
    SiobhanF-HP: We are nearing the end of our chat session. We only have time for 3 more questions. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
    SSPatrick: Is it possible to print wirelessly to the same HP printer using both a PC and a Mac?
    JimB-HP: Yes -- I do this in my home. I have both Macs and PCs on my network without any trouble.
    Bowman16: Any plans to do this again?
    SiobhanF-HP: Yes we are.
    ZhuLee3: Do all of the experts hang out on the HP community? Will we see you posting there after this?
    DavidH-HP: Oh yes, whenever time permits. In addition to trying to help people, I learn things too.
    JimB-HP: I'm known as Wi-Fi-Guy on the support forums. I hang out there often helping where I can. It helps me be a better designer.
    CraigB--HP: I monitor the forums looking for problems to take back to the development lab for investigation. To date, I have only posted one reply.
    CameronL-HP: I haven't been involved in the past but expect to be more involved in the future.
    SiobhanF-HP: We only have time for one more question. If we did not get to your question, please post it on the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
    ZhuLee3: Thanks for setting this up!
    SiobhanF-HP: The transcript will be posted on http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board?board.id=Networking
    TEACHER1: Thank you all for conducting this session !!!!
    jest1: Is there an OS limitation to print wirelessly?
    JimB-HP: All the OS versions supported by the printer as supported wirelessly. In general, we are compatible with Macs, Windows and Linux.
    SiobhanF-HP: We are ending the chat event. Thank you for coming. We hope you found it worthwhile. I will be posting a transcript of the event in the Networking and Wireless board in the Printers and All-in-Ones forum. We will be hosting future Meet the Experts chat sessions on a variety of topics, so please tell us what you thought of the event and how it could be improved. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Feedback&thread.id=525

  • Can't print to officejet 6500 E709a from networked computer

    Today I've tried reinstalling my printer software multiple times and I still can't get the printer to print. "Print Test Page Fails." The printer itself works fine on the computer it's connected to with a USB. It works fine from my second networked computer when connected by USB. The second networked computer can see the printer on the network, and appears to be adding it correctly. It tells me is there and ready, but then gives me the error message when I try to print a test page. Nothing is appearing in the what's printing dialog box either. My network works fine with everything else. All troubleshooting has failed to produce any errors. I'm running Windows 7 on both computers, the main one a 64-bit and the second one 32-bit. A third computer on the network, in another room, can find and print from the printer. So.... any idea what's stopping me from getting this resolved?  Thanks...  Liz
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    One final update to report...  I almost abandoned the idea of printing to my HP printer from a network computer after receiving your last message. It still bothered me, though, that both Norton's firewall, which I intended to use, and the Windows firewall, which I thought was disabled, had been enabled when I installed the printer. As a final attempt, I made sure the Windows firewall was off, uninstalled the printer using the HP setup CD, and cleaned the Registry. Then I reinstalled the printer again, and WOW, it works! I'm posting this just in case it may help someone else who has had to rebuild their computer after a full system recovery back to factory status. My learning: Norton's firewall is not a problem, but Windows firewall needs to be all the way off. Thanks for all the help and time you took trying to get me up and printing again.  Cheers...  Liz 

  • EasyLink Advisor and Network Magic together - Why?

    I am running a Toshiba laptop with Windows XP(MCE) SP3, wireless on a home network with a WRT300N V1.1 router - conecting this laptop, Lexmark X4550 wireless printer, a PS3(80), 3 PSP's, a desktop HP running Windows SP2 with a USB g adapter.   I have updated LELA to (Version 3.11 build 9139.94 Platform version: 11.2.9195.1); and Network Magic to (Version: 5.5.9195.0-Pure0 Platform version: 11.2.9195.1 Updated 8/19/2009).  I am running a Clearwire wireless broadband modem to the internet and the back of the router.  So far, everything seems to be running fine.
    My question is why am I running two different systems from Linksys to manage my router?  Do I need both of them, even though they seem to be a little different? Which one is the future standard for Linksys?  Do I lose anything by deleting one of them, or do I gain anything by keeping both of them?  They do not seem to interfere with each other - it is just confusing.
    LELA seems to be the better one now that both have been upgraded to the newer sotware.
    Please advise.  Thanks...

    My understanding is that there should be no port scan attempts coming through the router.  Normally all the router's ports are closed, so no port scan should be coming through the router.
    That's my understanding as well, but, unfortunately, I am still getting ports being scanned from remote IPs. :-(
    Possible sources for this would be:
    1)  another computer on your network is sending out the port scan
    2)  a wireless printer on your network is opening ports  ( I have an HP wireless printer that does this).
    3)  someone is connecting wirelessly to your network, and scanning ports
    1) I only have one computer.
    2) Believe it or not I don't have a printer. :-)
    3) The router is connected to my computer via ethernet cable, so (I assume) I have (hopefully) turned off the wireless part of the router.
    To verify that the router's ports are closed, go to Gibson Research at grc.com , and click on the "Shields UP!" test.  Scan your ports and see if any of them are open.  The Shields UP! program WILL do a port scan, so you can also see if your computer's firewall complains during this test.
    I have done the above and the ports that "Shields Up" scans are stealthed.
    If you do find ports open, the most likely cause is a program, running on one of your computers, that is opening ports.
    All the programs that I use I have used for a number of years.  With the D-Link router that I used I did not have this "problem".  Having said that I am not interested in going back to the D-Link router.  Hopefully this problem that I am having with my Linksys router can be rectified. :-)
    Report back with the results of the scan.

  • How do I set up wireless printing between my desk jet 2542 and my computer?

    how do I set up wireless printing between my desk jet 2542 and my computer?

    Hello danamaple,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Depending on the Operating System installed on the computer, setting up the Deskjet 2540 can be done different ways. The easiest and most popular method is to use a USB cable and the printer software to setup wireless on the printer.

    This guide should provide the needed information for you to setup the printer on the network. Please let me know if you have anymore questions.

  • Wireless authentication network design questions... best practices... etc...

    Working on a wireless deployment for a client... wanted to get updated on what the latest best practices are for enterprise wireless.
    Right now, I've got the corporate SSID integeatred with AD authentication on the back end via RADIUS.
    Would like to implement certificates in addition to the user based authentcation so we have some level of dual factor authentcation.
    If a machine is lost, I don't want a certificate to allow an unauthorized user access to a wireless network.  I also don't want poorly managed AD credentials (written on a sticky note, for example) opening up the network to an unathorized user either... is it possible to do an AND condition, so that both are required to get access to a wireless network?

    There really isn't a true two factor authentication you can just do with radius unless its ISE and your doing EAP Chaining.  One way that is a workaround and works with ACS or ISE is to use "Was machine authenticated".  This again only works for Domain Computers.  How Microsoft works:) is you have a setting for user or computer... this does not mean user AND computer.  So when a windows machine boots up, it will sen its system name first and then the user credentials.  System name or machine authentication only happens once and that is during the boot up.  User happens every time there is a full authentication that has to happen.
    Check out these threads and it explains it pretty well.

  • Help: network security question

    I just bought a PowerBook G4 running OSX 10.4.5 and was wondering about network security. What are some good anti-virus protection programs? I was searching the Apple store and found Net Barrier X4 and Virus Barrier X4 by INTEGO. What is the difference between the two? Are there other programs out there that are better? I will be the only person using this computer and it's for personal use, not business. Does anybody have any recommendations?
    powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    What you mention anti virus software programs. In your topic it reads "network security question"
    There is a difference between the two. Network security would be protecting a local LAN or WAN home network used for gaining access to the net. If this is what you want to do then you should have your network WEP or WPA password protected and enable OS X's personal Firewall by going to System Preferences->Sharing->Firewall->Start Firewall. Some good tips to remember are:
    * Never leave your network unlocked.
    *Keep your network password complex (12 digits and letters).
    *Don't hesitate to tell your ISP if someone is "using" your Network.
    *If you see any unknown files don't open them!
    Now if your were talking about a Software virus that affects your computer and causes it to malfunction/crash/break Then you don't have very many worries as there are no "Real" viruses for the Mac right now other then two worms, one which is spread via iChat and the other Bluetooth, both causing you to open them and give your Admin password to run them
    In other words moral of the story is don't open unknown files/programs and don't give your Mac your password unless you know what it's for and why it's asking.
    Net barrier acts as a firewall with more options all though I have found it to cause trouble with my network and have stopped using it.
    Virus Barrier, attempts to keep viruses from affecting your OS by scanning for them and warning you if it finds one and delete them. Once a again two different types of software.

  • OpenG on a non-networked computer

    Anybody know how to install openg packages (LV 8.6) on a non-networked computer WITHOUT using the PRO version of VIPM?

    That link is for OpenG Commander (which is obsolete) and is not supported/recommended for VI Package Manager.
    The supported methods are to add packages to VIPM's package list using the File>>Add Packages menu option or to use a VI Package Configuration file (as described here), which is the easiest method.
    If you have more questions about VIPM, we have a support forum, here:  http://forums.jkisoft.com

  • **** newbies and their stupid questions!....

    Sorry for the slightly aggressive topic title but I thought (hoped) it might get my questions noticed.
    I'm the newbie....I've been using ARD for a while to simply connect my main computer in my home office to my older G4 elsewhere in my house over my hard wired LAN. It works great.
    Now I would like to take it a step further. I would like to be able to control my home computer from work and my work computer from home over the internet. I have looked at the manual but cannot find any info pertaining specifically to this.
    Can anyone out there suggest a source for info regarding this subject?
    My computer at home is on a Comcast (cable) broadband network and my computer at work is on a AT&T (DSL) broadband network and is connected via a Airport Base Station. Neither accounts have dedicated IP addresses, do I need at least one of the accounts to have a dedicated IP address for this to work?
    Many thanks for any help that can be offered.
    Sean Beresford

    The subject of connecting ARD via the Internet has been covered here many times already (search the forum for "Internet"), but take a look at this web page:
    http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm
    It should help, though you may have to refer to your router's documentation for specifics on opening and forward ports in that particular unit.
