Msn and gaming through LAN

Hi I am having trouble getting certain programs to work through a LAN. I am connected to my friends Mac Pro via an ethernet cable and he is then connected to the modem. Through this connection it will allow me to access the internet through safari however it will not let me connect to msn messenger or world of warcraft. What I was wandering was is there anyway to configure it to let me do this? I've read various forums but all of them just use lots of rough abbreviations and no step by step instructions on what to do. I also couldn't find anywhere with this exact problem. If anyone could tell me it would be a big help.

Hi there Moppy, and Welcome to the Discussions!
Try turning off the Firewalls on both for a start...
System Preferences>Sharing Control Panel>firewall Tab, then click on the Stop button to allow all incoming ports to be used.

  • Internet Connection lost between AEBS and Mac through LAN

    For the last year I have had no problems with my AEBS. I have it configured like this: My Modem is connected via ethernet cable to my AEBS and then out to my G3. I have no airport card in my G3. All of a sudden I get no outgoing signal from my AEBS to my laptops, nor can my G3 get an internet connection unless I plug the modem directly into the G3 and bypass the AEBS. I am frustrated beyond words and my teenagers are impossible to bear without their wireless connections. Ideas? Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Do you have a cable or DSL connection? If you have a DSL connection, you may need to reset your PPOE settings.
    This may help as well: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106858

    Help answer I happened iPhone, everything is fully Lane Jani option to activate the device and Ahtath through GPRS ČÓ woe Egina Halkalam the iPhone could not be activated because your activation server is temporarily unavailable

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

    through this applet i am capturing the image and saving in the application deployed directory and accessing this image through a servlet.every thing works fine in my system but when i try to capture from other systems connected through lan the image not saving in my system.
    requried solution.

    This is might because of you are using applet. Applet runs is client browser. When you runs your program on your system then it saves file on you system but when you access this applet from another system over LAN then, captured will be saved on another system not on yours.
    You have to write extra code to upload this locally saved file to your server (i.e. your system.).

    GS30 Shadow and Gaming Dock internals
    The GS30 Shadow is a light, slim machine with a high-powered, high-voltage Intel Core i7 CPU and the usual stuff you find in an MSI Gaming notebook. One thing it does lack though, is a dedicated graphics card, instead it comes with a PCI-E 3.0 x16 connector and a sizeable dock, the Gaming Dock, in which you’ll be able to fit a full desktop graphics card and a few other goodies.
    To tell you more about the GS30 Shadow and the Gaming Dock, we’ve created a little video to walk you through the combo and what you can expect hardware-wise.

  • Trying to connect Mac w/ OSX to Internet through LAN

    I have a Mac running OSX (10.1.5) and a PC running Windows XP side to side. Only the PC is connected to the Internet.
    I want my Mac to share my PC's internet. I have a router (D-Link) and two ethernet cables. Both are connected to the router (through LAN). I'm not able to get on the internet on my Mac. Is there anything I need to configure on each machine? what exacty do I type in?
    also, I am new to being a Mac owner...Used them plenty, but know nothing of networking and other mac settings...very knowledgable about networking PCs.
    How can I ping or get a dos-type prompt on a mac?
    Thanks for ANY help.

    the router is connected to a switch on which the port
    where the mac is connected flashes (no connection),
    when the pc is connected to it the light is solid
    (and internet works). The IP is private 192.168....
    If I have this right this is your setup:
    |Mac
    Internet>router>switch|
    |WinXP
    we are not at all familiar with networking Macs, but
    we have extensive knowledge of networking PCs. The
    switch is (i think) a 48 port patch panel and then
    connected to router then cable modem (on a seven foot
    rack in a guest room closet, if that tells you
    anything about our extensive networking).
    Yep. Q1... (you've probably tested this, but let's get it out of the way) is there a good network connection to the Mac? I can see several possible points of failure, including the patch cable from the wall, the cable in the wall, the patch cable from the patch panel to the wall, the patch panel...
    Q2, assuming that the cabling is good, how is your net set up? DHCP or hard-coded IPs? Are you using IPX (not so good), NetBIOS (very NOT, repeat NOT, good for Macs running 10.1.x), or TCP/IP (very good)?
    Q3... OS X 10.1.x was, erm, acceptable, but mostly in comparison to 10.0.x which was not ready for prime time. 10.2.x is much faster, and plays better with others. Is there any way that you could move the Mac to 10.2.x?
    Is that what you mean by more information? Could
    there be something wrong with the built in ethernet
    port on the mac?
    That's a distinct possibility. If it's old enough to run 10.1.x, it's old enough that the port could have got fried.
    We know for certain that the built
    in audio does not work.
    Not good. Q4... are you sure you don't have a motherboard problem?

  • How do I install Lion on external hard drive? I have purchased and downloaded through App Store but do not know where the download is located so I can install.

    I want to install Lion on an external hard drive. The OS was purchased and downloaded through the App Store but I do not know where the file is.

    If you downloaded the installer it will be in your applications folder. Failing that use spotlight start typing Install and it should show up.
    This is assuming you downloaded the installer from the app store, and didn't just install it onto your mac. If all you have done is install it on your mac. Go to your purchases Lion should show up. Then click download.

  • Syncing iphone and computer through Airport Express?

    Hi,
    I have a 3G iPhone, a MacBook Pro and an Airport Express. I was wondering if I could sync my calendar and contacts through the airport express (wirelessly) instead of actually connecting the the two by USB cable? I can control iTunes via my iPhone so I should also be able to get them syncing stuff like iCal and Contacts na?
    thanks

    I forgot to mention my limited knowledge of iphone technology - so I have no clue what your answer means.  I literally need someone to walk me through this step by step.

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

    Hi, I am having trouble getting an album to download. I have tried it on both my iPhone and laptop through iTunes but neither works. I am wondering if it could be the size of the album stopping it downloading (212 Tracks) Any Ideas?

    These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
    If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
    Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
    Mac OS X:
  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads   Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~)  refers to your Home directory.
    After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
