Need help connecting to remote Mac

At my work location I have two Macs, a MacPro and a Mac mini. I have a MacBook that goes between work and my house. The two work Mac's are connected to the network via ethernet. I join the work network with the MacBook via wireless, and I am able to "see" and connect to the mini and the MacPro from the Macbook, and I can connect to the mini from the MacPro as well.
At home, I can still see the two work Macs in my sidebar in the finder, but I can only successfully connect to the MacPro from home. My connection to the work mini fails every time, and I'm stumped as to how to fix this issue. Any ideas?
Other details, the MacPro and MacBook are running the latest Mac OS; the mini is running 10.5.8

Well, I think I answered my question, or at least found one solution. I ended up using screen sharing from the MacBook to the MacPro and then connected to the mini via the MacPro to see the mini's static IP. Now, I'm able to connect remotely with that...would be nice to know why things don't work a little easier, as I'm sure I'm missing a basic setting.

I do not think MCPKit will help you on the iPhone. It is just an Objective-C wrapper around the standard mysql libraries which are not available for the iPhone. Your best bet would be to post on the mysql forums and see if you can get any help.
You can try extracting the mysql client library source code into a separate static library project, and see if you can get it to build for the iPhone.

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network

Need help connecting a windows network printer to my Mac (Xerox Phaser 3600) over a windows home network.
My Mac runs lion and the windows desktop runs Windows XP
I have tried for a few hours or so to connect my mac to this printer over a home network.
For your information it does work when connected directly to my mac using a USB Cable.
If there is no soultion could I have help getting the drivers for a Dell All-in-One Photo 926

In most cases you can connect to the Windows shared printer from the Mac. But there is a dependence on the Mac driver being compatible. For many consumer inkjets, the vendor created driver cannot be used for this type of connection so you need to look at alternative drivers, such as Gutenprint or PrintFab. If you can tell us which brand and model of printer you have shared from Windows then we can answer your question with the preferred procedure on the Mac.

I need help connecting my iPhone to computer

Howdy sprinklemk,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Take a look at the iPhone User Guide, it answers your question about how to connect your iPhone to your computer and provides additional information that you may find helpful.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
You may need to connect iPhone to your computer in order to complete activation. Connecting iPhone to your computer also lets you sync photos and other content to iPhone from your computer, using iTunes. See Sync with iTunes on page 18.
To use iPhone with your computer, you need:
An Internet connection for your computer (broadband is recommended)
A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port, and one of the following operating systems:
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
Connect iPhone to your computer. Use the Lightning to USB Cable (iPhone 5 or later) or 30-pin the other device.
Cheers,
-Jason

when you want to connect from Oracle to a SQl Server you need the Oracle Gateway (HSODBC or even better Dg4ODBC) and a FOREIGN ODBC DRIVER for your foreign database - a SQL Server ODBC driver. You have to get this driver from a 3rd party vendor - Oracle does not offer any foreign ODBC drivers.
So before being able to use DG4ODBC/HSODBC you need to install from a 3rd paryt vendor a SQL Server ODBC driver. Commercial vendrs are for example Data Direct, Openlink or Easysoft.
On Unix ODBC drivers commonly also require a driver manager. If the ODBC driver vendor does not ship one with the ODBC driver you can get it from www.unixodbc.org

Until the MacBook Air was released and supported in 10.5, the Mac did not consider USB to be a valid Networking Protocol. So set the Mac with USB solutions aside.
To connect computer-to-computer, you typically need to be using an Ethernet crossover cable. Assigning the same address to two Ethernet devices is never the solution -- it gives a Network Conflict, just as you said.
If your Windows box has some mechanism for Sharing its WiFi connection over Ethernet, you would have to follow its rules. Whether that means Manually assigning an Ethernet Address in the same range or the PC will provide the Address, I do not know.
Best success may be running an Ethernet cable to your Wired/Wireless Base Station, or using a "gaming adapter" (Ethernet-to-Wireless no drivers required) connected to the Mac's Ethernet port to give it WiFi access. What is your Base Station {Cable, DSL, FIOS, Other} ? Ethernet cables can be up to 100 meters (an American Football Field). Often the Base Station can be moved closer for more convenience.

Need help connecting to my home Wireless Network

I need help connecting my LaserJer M1212nf MFP to my home wirless network. I would like to use Apple's AirPrint, and be able to print from my iPad.
I've spent a few hours following the directions I found on the manuals through hp.com and I've had no luck. I've already unistalled and reinstalled the printer. I've also updated the firmware. If anyone can provide assistance I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

This is NOT a wireless printer (see product spec: http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/ce841a.pdf), you can NOT add the printer to the wireless network. This printer do support LAN connection, so if your wireless router has LAN ports, you can added it to your home network by connecting a network cable from the printer to a LAN port on the router. You need then reinstall the printer as a network printer, to use airprint.

Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c

Need help Connecting Crystal Reports 8.5 with GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c. I need assistance on connecting these together so I can run a report. I am not an IT person so if someone could dumb it down it would be great.
Thanks,
NBGHealth

Hello,
I assume GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c is some sort of database or data source? If you have an ODBC driver then create or use a System DSN to the database. Then you can create a report using that DSN.
Otherwise I suggest you contact the makers of GBS Agency Expert 6.7.6c and ask them how to connect to the database.
Let them know CR is ANSII 92 ODBC 3 compliant.
Thank you

Help needed to connect to remote PPTP VPN via PIX 515e

Hello,
A user in our office needs to connect to a client's remote PPTP VPN but can't connect. The user is running Windows 7. We have a Cisco PIX 515e firewall that is running PIX Version 6.3(3) - this is what our user is having to go through to try and make the connection to the client's remote VPN.
The client's network guys have come back and said the issue is at our side. They say that they can see some of our traffic but not all of it. The standard error is shown below, and they say it's symptomatic of the client-side firewall not allowing PPTP traffic:
"A connection between the VPN server and the VPN client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX has been established, but the VPN connection cannot be completed. The most common cause for this is that a firewall or router between the VPN server and the VPN client is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) packets (protocol 47). Verify that the firewalls and routers between your VPN server and the Internet allow GRE packets. Make sure the firewalls and routers on the user's network are also configured to allow GRE packets. If the problem persists, have the user contact the Internet service provider (ISP) to determine whether the ISP might be blocking GRE packets."
I have very little firewall experience and absolutely no Cisco experience I'm afraid. From looking at the PIX config I can see the following line:
fixup protocol pptp 1723.
Does this mean that the PPTP protcol is enabled on our firewall? Is this for both incoming and outgoing traffic?
I can see no reference to GRE 47 in the PIX config. Can anyone advise me what I should look for to see if this has been enabled or not?
I apologise again for my lack of knowledge. Any help or advice would be very gratefully received.
Ros

Hi Eugene,
Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. Please see our full PIX config below. I've XX'd out names and IP addresses as I'm never comfortable posting those type of details in a public forum. I hope that the information below is still sufficient for you.
Thanks again for your help,
Ros

NEED HELP Connecting To Mac At Office Using ARD 3

I have a MacBook Pro that I would like to leave at my office without having to bring it home every night. I installed ARD 3 on my admin computer (my mac mini) at home. I have also installed the client software on my laptop at work. I have all of the correct IP addresses, DNS names, port numbers and all that but I can't figure out how to connect to my mac at work. When I went to enter the IP address of my mac at work under the add by address menu, after I entered my user name and password, it said connection failed. What do I need to do? What information do I need to enter into the right places?
Thanks!

You may need to open TCP and UDP port 3283 and TCP and UDP port 5900 in the routers on your end and your company's end. For encrypted file transfer (ARD 3.0), also open TCP port 22. You may also need to open TCP (and perhaps UDP) 5988 and 5989, though it's not clear under what circumstances this will be necessary.
If your systems at work get their IP addresses via NAT, you'll also have to forward those ports to your MBP's internal IP address.

Need help using Apple Remote Desktop for remote family members

I am new to ARD and need help. I know there are solutions to do what I am trying to do through LogMeIn and Teamviewer - but I have LogMein right now and the free edtition is going away and I think Teamviewer will do the same sooner or later. I have remote desktop but hadnt used it, so I thought it would be a good thing to implement so I wont have to worry about paying fees for services like LogMein or teamviewer down the road. Long story short I need to be able to remote help friends and family members with their macs and using applications, mostly through screen sharing and control and file sharing. All of the folks id like to help have home ( not business style ) internet service whith DHCP and non-static IP's. I have set this up for myselft to test it and I can be at work and search my homes IP address and I can see all the macs with ARD on them and it all works perfectly. I have a mac mini running Lion Server so the ports are forwarded to that server at my home - this is the only think I can think of that is making my home work and my friends not. But when I try to help my friends and family after I type in their IP and it scans it sees their computer - ( it shows a grayed out icon and their IP ) but nothing else. I cannot control or screen share. It says it cannot verify. I helped my friends put the ARD client ( most up to date client ) on their macs as well. I was hoping that using ARD would mean not haivng to set up my friends and family's routers for port fowarding and all those details. Is there anything I can do using ARD to be able to type in my friends IP address have it scan and then see all their MACS at their home and pick the one that needs attention/ help, without port forwarding or heavy set up ? I guess the root question here is how or what is best way to set up ARD to be used to help people remotley when they are all home users as well, no port forwarding, no static-IP, that kinda thing.
Any help is appreciated - Im trying to use ARD and not a 3rd party app since im afraid even if they are free now they wont stay that way. Please let me know throughts and sugesstions ;p)

I poked around a bit and the file seems to be:
/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg
I'd like to get some confirmation from Adobe that this is the correct file to push, though (it seems like it as it only contains this):
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1

Need help setting up Remote Desktop Services

This is my first server and I can't get Remote Desktop Services to work. I need to access my Server 2012 machine from my Windows 7 computer. I realize this is probably a trivial task for a server admin of any experience level, but I am utterly confused.
When I try to access https://servername.domainname.local/RdWeb, the webpage is unavailable. When I replace .local with .com, same result. Only when I use https:192.168.1.***/RdWeb it connects.
I log in and click an application. An rdp file is downloaded. I double-click the file. A warning message appears listing the URL of the remote computer (servername.domainname.local) and the gateway server (servername.domainname.com). When I log in from there,
I get the following message:
"Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because the Remote Desktop Gateway server address in unreachable or incorrect. Type a valid Remote Desktop Gateway server address."
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The ideal method for managing a server from a client computer is achieved by installing the RSAT tools (remote server administration tools).
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39296
What these tools do is to actually install Server Manager on your client computer. However, you will need a Windows 8.1 computer to install the tools in the link above. They won't install on Windows 7. Note: The RSAT tools are available for Windows 7 but
you can only manage 2008 R2 and earlier with that version of RSAT. The RSAT tools are sync'd with the release of client and server versions.
RSAT does need a direct connection between the client and the server (as far as I know), so you can't manage your intranet server from the public Internet this way unless the server has a public IP address or - more ideally you have a VPN server set up to
access your internal network.
As Tim mentions, you can configure routers with 'port forwarding' to connect via RDP from outside your private network to the inside. If you log into the router you should see this option but it does require some understanding of what you are doing.
In this case, you would need to connect to the router's external (public) IP address. You should be careful however enabling access into your private LAN from the outside as this does open you up to some security risks.
Another option for you is to use a 3rd party solution such as logmein or teamviewer although in my opinion these are less than ideal methods.

I lloked for a resolv.conf file but can't find one, help!!!!
Danny

Edit /etc/resolv.conf (it may not exist) with the following lines:
domain your.domain.name
nameserver your.primary.dns.ip
nameserver your.secondary.dns.ip
search your.domain.suffix
The last line is optional, but please do substitute those values for the ones that you use.
As far as a default route goes, just edit /etc/defaultrouter (may not exist) and put the ip of your default gw on a single line.
