Multiple Computers on the same network

We're currently transitioning to Windows 8.1 MRD after many years running OSX and ARD in our small office.
We have two computers that we need to access independently from the outside. We opened up the recommend port for MRD and have it working as expected on a single computer. However, we can only gain access to a single machine from the outside. With Apple Remote
Desktop, you simply open up additional ports to allow access for multiple machines. Super easy. We decided to do the same with MRD, but failed with everything we attempted.
Does MRD not support using custom ports for multiple computers?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
We can achieve the result as you want with remote desktop connection. We need to allow the port from firewall end and can apply particular rules with advanced option for specific ports. Also if you are using Routers then need to open the port from router end,
and finally when connecting user “servername:portnumber” and provide credentials.
Please checkthis article for more details.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

How to set up multiple computers on the same network

I have a small network with 4 computers on it. Two of these I would like to be able to access from outside of the office using Remote Desktop. Before I had this set up working just fine with only one computer, but have recently started sharing my office space with another person. Their I.T. guy set up their own connections and rerouted the default ports to their computer instead of mine. My router is a Netgear WNDR3700. Computer 1 is using the default port being forwarded to it's I.P. I moved the ports up by one number for the other computer and have it forwarding to it's IP. For example, 3389 on Comp. 1 is 3390 on Comp 2.
Now what I can't make happen is this connection to work when I try it. So I'm just wondering if there is a way that I can do this?

you would need to setup a VPN and tunnel into your office.
FYI..the default ports are 3283 and 5900.

Control Multiple computers on the same router remotely

How can I connect to multiple client computers on the same network over the internet?
Whe I search for my ip address ( which is the same for both computers ) becuase they are on the same network only 1 of them how up. I am able to control that one fine.
Also I am able to control both machines the way I want when I am local on the same network but can only see the one machine when I am remote on another network.
Thanks

Take a look at this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3162938?start=0&tstart=0
If you only want to control those systems, using a service such as LogMeIn, iChat, or a mediator such as Slink may be easier, since you don't have to deal with port forwarding and issues with dynamic IP addresses.
Regards.

Prevent the same user login on multiple computers at the same time

prevent the same user login on multiple computers at the same time

Is there any way (currently running 2012 Servers) that we can prevent users from logging into multiple domain computers simultaneously with the same username?
We still want them to log into those computers, just not simultaneously?
LimitLogin utility not work in Windows 2012 server.
Thanks.

Unfortunately Windows has never offered this feature as a built-in feature, but there are several possibilities discussed in these articles:

How can I uniquely identify computers on the same network/account specifically for airdrop use? When I change name on one computer under contacts if changes on all computers.

It seems that the new version of iPhoto will no longer share photos between computers on the same network. Can anyone confirm this?

You might also need to turn Preview generation off for any existing Projects. Select the Project in the Projects pane and use the cog button at the top of the pane to uncheck 'Maintain Previews For Project'.

Can you setup handoff to work with two mac computers on the same network?

I am attempting to setup handoff to work with two computers on the same network. I cannot seem to get it to work. Should I be able to?

I'm not sure but I haven't seen anything on the Apple site that indicates that it would not work. The following troubleshooting documents may help: Get help using Continuity with iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite - Apple Support
Note in particular the Mac models supported. The other thing that occurs to me is that in addition to being on the same network they would have to be within Bluetooth range of each other.

Is it possible to control itunes dj from other computers on the same network?

is it possible to control itunes dj from other computers on the same network? we have a computer running itunes connected to our speakers here at work, and we'd like to be able to control it through the other comptuers on the network. is this possible, or do you have to use iphones/ipads/etc?

AC is corret you can do that. It might work a bit better for you if you use a wired connection vs a wireless one for the ATV's.

Multiple Users Mounting the Same Network Share?

Hello, first time posting...
I'll cut right to my main question: Is it possible, on OS X v10.3.9, for multiple users to simultaneously connect to the same network share?
Here in my office, we have a single Mac that is used by multiple people throughout the day. It has two accounts on it, 'Communications' and 'Studio'. 'Communications' is an Admin account that is used by a co-worker who spends the most time on the Mac. He created the no-limitation 'Studio' account for the rest of us to use.
There is a certain Windows network share that we both frequently use. We've found that if one user connects to the share first, the other user will not have access to it; using 'Go -> Connect to Server' will result in the share being greyed out in the list, and the share will not show up in the Finder.
However, there is one way around it. If Studio connects to the share first and then Communications (the admin account) attempts to make a connection of it's own *through a shortcut on the dock*, then a 'clone' of the share will be created on Comm's desktop, with a "-1" after the name (though it might be some other number).
This may sound like I've answered my own question, but what I'm looking for is a way for the non-Admin account to access the share after the Admin account already has (so that we don't have to log-in and disconnect Communications everytime Studio needs to manage files on the share).
We have Thursby Software's DAVE installed on the Mac, but I'm not sure how it fits into all this.
Any thoughts, suggestions or advice?
Thanks.

Bizarre. It turned out I could merge them, but only in to the mapped drive - L: - and only by explicitly clicking on the drive icon - if I typed L:\series in to dialog box it converted it back to \\nas\share\series... Not helpful.

HP 8600 Plus - Printer is on wifi but not visible/usable for any computers on the same network

Hello,
I am on windows 7 x64 and I have an HP 8600 Plus. This printer has been working fine since we bought it but suddently it does not show up on the network. It started when my wife would try to print and the HP software says it cant connect to the printer. I tried resetting everything, including the router. I restored factory settings on the printer as well, still no luck.
I am able to connect the printer to wifi. The indicator shows that it is connected and ready. It has no errors there. It has an IP address and all seems well. I have several other computers on the same wifi network and none of them can SEE the printer. It does not show up in network devices and I am not able to install it using the HP wizard software (it gets stuck looking for the printer, then asks for a manual IP address and it still fails)
Please help, it worked fine for a few months and suddenly it is 100% not working!

Anyone out there ever seen anything like this before? I searched the forums pretty heavily and I see similar issues but none quite like mine.
I have also tried the Print and Scan Doctor. Again, since the software cant find the printer on the network it won't connect and won't resolve any problems. It tells me to make sure the printer has a wifi connection and that the blue light is on and the indicator is showing it is connected, all of which are true.

Can't connect to computers on the same network and same office

Hi everyone, I have this problem from some time now, I have on the same network some computers with ethernet, and some with Wi-Fi.
All are connected to the C-Net Wireless-G Router.
My iBook is on the Wi-Fi zone (All have 10.4.11) and I can see the computers on the Ethernet area, but I have an iMac 2.0 next to my iBook and I can't see it.
How is that possible? Am I making something wrong with the subnet mask or IP address?
All are configured to use 192.168.1.254 as the router and on the subnet 255.255.255.0. Manually.
The IP variates from device to device on the 192.168.1.X numbers, starting with 100 on the iMac, and ending with 113 on an old 8600.
Wy can't I see the iMac?, si so close that I can reach her with my hands, but can't connect to transfer files over the network.
If anyone could give me a hand here, I will apprettiate the advice.
Thaks to everyone, Pablo from Argentina.

You are on a different subnet. In x.x.x.0 the x's are different.
All the computers are in the same subnet, cable ones and wi fi ones.

Look at what ip addresses you have on each machine.
I have different IPs on each machine, do you need the numbers?
Wy can't I see the iMac?, si so close that I can reach her with my hands, but can't connect to transfer files over the network.
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Network Utility.app
Use the ping command to see what is going on. Ping 192.168.1.254, source & destination machine. 127.0.0.1 is an alias of the machine you are on.

check out port scan. This will tell you if sharing is on.

Wired and wireless computers on the same network?

Here’s the scenario: I’ve got Verizon FIOS which comes with a modem with four Ethernet ports. I have an Airport Extreme plugged into the modem. There are six macs in the house (three desktops and three laptops) and they can all connect wirelessly although the signal fades in the living room and in my son’s room. I decided to run an Ethernet cable from the modem to the G5 that is in the living room and another one to my son’s room. Everything works fine but the “wired” computers are now no longer on the same network.
(At first I thought it was neat: if I was near the G5 and the signal from the Airport Extreme was weak, I could just hop onto the G5’s network (which has “Internet sharing” via airport enabled) but it’s become a nuisance because we always seem to be needing to change from one network to another: The computer connected to the printers is on Airport Extreme so I can’t print from the G5 unless I change the settings; if we’re in the bedroom connected to the Internet via the AirPort Extreme, we can’t access our iTunes music from the G5 without switching networks.)
I don’t know if there is a solution but it seems there should be.
I’d like to have two computers hard-wired and have all of them be part of the same home network. Is that possible?

The solution is simple. Configure the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) so that the option to distribute IP addresses is DISABLED.
This will disable the AEBS's DHCP server and NAT. The net effect will be that anything connected to the AEBS's WAN port (anything connected to Verizon's router's LAN ports like your Ethernet computers) on the same subnet as the AEBS's LAN and wireless clients.

2 Computers on the same network isn't working anymore

Why can't 2 computers use the same airport? Is there a setting to change so that 2 different computers can use the same network. We were able to do it for year and then just recently something changed. Can anyone guild me? Thanks.

Open AirPort Utility - Click Manual Setup
Click the Internet icon
Look for the setting for Connection Sharing
Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
Click Update to save any changes you have made

Can you use sync on multiple computers at the same time? ie have someone else logged into your firefox account for you whilst you are also logged in

I am trying to sign up to something but there is only a short window so was going to ask a friend to sign in at the same time using my account to try to sign up (with my password being saved into my firefox account)

Hi. Yes, you can use Sync on multiple devices at the same time. I use it to keep my bookmarks in sync across my desktop and Android versions of Firefox.

How can I get my itunes library on multiple computers at the same time. I have 3 and an iphone 4S

So I have my itunes library on a laptop and synced with my iphone 4S. I have a new laptop and a tower and I use all three computers. Is there a simple way to have all three computers sync the same itunes library, and the phone?

No.
Iphone will sync with one and only one computer a a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
