Network Sharing Questions

So, I'm trying to use my Macbook as a wireless router for my Xbox 360, since it won't reach my router with just an ethernet cable, and I have a few questions.
People have been telling me that my Macbook needs to be hooked up to the router itself for this to work. Is this true?
Will this even work?
The 360, by using ifconfig, is shown to have a constantly changing IP. How can I fix this?

If your MacBook is connected to your router via WiFi, then you can share your network connection via Ethernet.

NetWorking Shared question???

I have LAN Network in my University
I made a program which scan all the IPs and return ro me if there is a Computer connected in that IP or no.
but I need to list also ALL The Shared Folders for each computer.
For example computer X in the IP 10.120.2.1
and has Sheaed Forlders called
Java , Program ,My Sheared
I tried to get The Names of The folders but I can`t find any way
When I use The class File in such
File file =new File("\\10.120.2.1\");
and Try to make it as a file to get it`s subFile it gave me error
but When I use
File file =new File("\\10.120.2.1\java ");
it work and I can deal woth that
The problem is how to know the Name of the files?
I hope you got my Question??
Thanks so much??

Using network sharing on Macbook as router, but my ipod can't connect to the internet even though it can connect to wifi

Hi there, recently I've been trying to use my macbook as a router by turning on network sharing.
I'm sharing my connection through PPPoe.
It worked great for my 3DS and I was able to play online flawlessly
(unfortunately I don't have any other mobile device so I could only test this on my 3DS and ipod touch
But my ipod touch 4th gen, while it is able to connect to wifi with a strong bar, I cannot access the internet via web browsers and some of the apps.
It always gives me the 'cannot connect to internet' message.
What further puzzles me is that I can receive, update, and check my mail perfectly fine.
I've already tried the following:
1) unplugging and replugging my modem
2) forgetting the network on my ipod and re-access it
3) resetting network setting on ipod
4) tweaking with the internet sharing setting like trying different channels and different types of security
5) turning off and on my ipod, and turning off and on the wifi on my ipod
Anyway, I'm really stumped and I hope someone can help me figure this out.
Any help will be gladly appreciated.

oh I'm not actually using a router, I'm using my macbook pro as a wifi router by turning on network sharing.
And I'm sharing the connection through PPPoe
...unless, of course, I'm totally misunderstanding your question @@;
I'm a complete tehcno noob =__=;

Connection between Wireless network (shared) and wired network through a router/modem

I have a windows 8.1 X64 installed on my pc. i have connected a USB wireless network adapter to it so that i can connect to another wireless
network. my internet connection comes from this device as well.
I've got a Modem/router/AP (TD-W8970) and i set it up to work as wireless router with DHCP server enabled. i wanted to share my internet
connection that comes from wireless network adapter in home so i did the followings:
1. connected the WAN port of my router to the Ethernet port of my PC.
2. in windows' network adapter settings i shared my wireless network adapter's connection with the Ethernet port.
now i can connect with my laptop to my wireless router and use internet connection that is being shared by PC's wireless adapter but i
can't connect to the PC in order to have a home group with it or use the shared files/folders in PC.
More Details:
Wireless network adapter local settings:
IPv4 Default Gateway/ DNS server/ DHCP server = 192.168.1.1
IPv4 address: 192.168.1.4 - IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Ethernet
port settings:
IPv4 address: 192.168.137.1
IPv4 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 .
my question is how to make that connection like a LAN and what configuration do i need to apply on both router or PC.
Thanks in Advance!

Hi,
Please try the following steps for test to configure your network sharing.
1. Open CMD, type ipconfig/all. Then remember USB wireless card DNS server address.
2. Open Network Connection, Change Adapter settings, USB adapter properties, check network sharing.
3. Open Local network connection, generally speaking, Router's default lan address is 192.168.1.1, you can asign the desktop PC IP as 192.168.1.2.
4. Access into Router management interface, then enable router's DHCP service. Set its gateway same as sharing host address, DNS server same as USB wlan's DNS server address.

Network shared variables reconnecting network dropout

I've got a cRIO unit communicating with a Laptop using Network Shared Variables, with one of them being a 21 index array that is buffered.
The system connects and communicates fine, but occassionally the wireless card in the laptop is losing the signal from the WAP attached to the cRIO.
When this happens the Network Shared Variables never "reconnect" and start receiving values again once the Wireless link is restored. Is this an expected behavior?
When I tried using another industrial WAP instead of the laptop wireless card I do not get the drop-outs.

Hello Ryan,
Thank you for contacting National
Instruments! I have looked into the issue you are experiencing and
wanted to ask you a few more questions. First of all, do you have a
time frame in which you allow for the reconnect? I believe that the
Shared Variables should regain connection after a short period but it
will not necessarily be a very quick process. It may take a few
minutes for the Shared Variables to reconnect.
The other
thing that may be happening is if you have error wires being passed
through the Shared Variables, it is possible that the error is not
being cleared and so it will always see the error and therefore never
reconnect. In this case you will have to filter this error out and
then clear the error in order to utilize the shared variables again.
If
you have any more specific information about your program that may help
us determine the reason for this behavior. Also a screenshot of your
code would also be helpful. Please let me know if you have any further
questions and I will be happy to assist you. I hope this helps!
Thanks!

Network sharing administrating

Hello,
I'm using network sharing to share my internet connection (I'm tethering and sharing the internet).
I have a problem: _If I set up a password for the sharing, windows OS on other computers cannot connect._
I solved it using no password, but now I have a question: _How can I administrate my network sharing to be able to kick, or ban IP addresses or MAC address?_ I would like to kick or ban computers from the sharing (since they are slowing down the internet).
Thank you and waiting for your answer,
Bharel

pursistance is key! I'm glad you never gave up! keep on truckin'! I had this happening to me and toggling it off and on often times fixed my issue. I have to admit though, I eventually gave up on it, and purchased a 2tb time capsule which routes all my content flawlessly (however I'm connect viw ethernet now and don't need to share my network anymore.
if you have time, feel free to tell apple about your situation and what you are running on. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html I've seen too many wifi issues on here. I've already sent feedback of my own, but it wouldn't hurt to share your experience with this.
That being said, I hope it's the end of your troubles with this, however, I have a feeling you'll have to keep on doing this because it'll just stop working. for me it was after waking from sleep.

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.

Family sharing question-after we updated to family sharing, and I have a new apple id, I have found that all the pages documents on my iPad are only accessible if I sign in via the original apple ID- now my husband's( the primary user). is there an e

Hi there,
this is a Family Sharing question. After we upgraded to family sharing, and I now have a new apple id, I find that all the documents on my iPad in pages, are only accessible if i sign in with the original apple id- now my husband's ( he is the primary account holder). Is there an easy way to migrate these documents to my iCloud account, or do i need to email them to myself . There are a couple of hundred documents.
Many thanks in advance.

Thankyou for the reply.
No. I have tried twice. When I turn off pages in the iCloud settings while logged into his account, then my documents in pages just are gone. They return when I turn it back on.
Is there another way I can save them to the device?

Distributed application: Networked Shared Variables, Named Services (Raw TCP/IP) or Other?

Happy New Year NI forums!
I am working on a project involving mobile interacting robots. In the future it is likely the application's components may need to run on different PCs (Targets). Note: at this point in time all the components are seperate but all running on the localhost machine. Thinking towards the future I want to pick the 'best' architecture to allow all these components (VIs performing various functions) in multiple locations. For example, several VIs on the Robots, VIs on serveral PCs.
I am currently aware of using Server/Client TCP/IP using named services. My mock up works well, but is it time efficient (my time coding) I wonder.. ?
Whereas I am aware of networked shared variables which handle connections and all the parsing for the underlying tcp/ip communication. But will this be difficult the manage? I am unsure if I can associate shared variables with a VI similar to named services. I suppose I could pro grammatically create the variable upon initialization of the server component - and the client could just search the list of avaiaible variables to connect too. Downside this would require DSC module.
As you can see, I am rather unsure. Any advice would be great!
Kind Regards,
James

Hi Jason,
Thanks for your reply. I hope your enjoying NI UK as much as I did.. fun times!
I have seen the link you posted a few times before. But today, I took a better look at it.
My issue is I need several multi-client severs, i.e. many servers which allow multiple clients to connect to them.
Now the STM does have an example of this - STM mutli-client Example - Server.vi (used with the STM mutli-client.vi)
However, when a make copies of these code (to have my second server) - it refuses to run. As in , it just stops itself.
I DID change the port number, on the lister aspect of the server code. But I Am unsure what else I would need to change to get this setup to work?
One thought I had was, the FIFOs all having the same name - this probably isn't a good idea between servers.
Any suggestions would be grateful!
*please could you provide me email support

Network shared variables lose binding

Hello,
I am developing an application in LabVIEW that uses network shared variables to transmit data between two PC's on the same subnet. The shared variables work fine when running the VI's in development mode, however, when i build the vi's into an executable I find that they no longer work. Here is what I have found so far:
I deploy the shared variable library on the publisher machine (also happens to be the development machine) through an invoke node in the executable. NI distributed system manager confirms that this does deploy and indeed updates as it should.
For the executable on the subscriber PC I created a second shared variable library (same project) with the same shared variables and bound them to the respective shared variables from the first library by selecting enable aliasing, then bind to PSP URL and browsing to the shared variable I wish to bind it to (e.g. \\hallnet-ellm2\shared variable library\serial Number). The machines listed under browse were listed by name so when I tried this initially and it did not work I manually changed the name of my machine in the URL box to the IP address of the publisher hoping that would fix it in case the subscriber could not resolve the publishers machine alias. So now my bind URL read \\192.168.0.1\shared variable library\serial Number.
As part of the executable on the subscriber I deploy this second shared variable library. NI distributed system manager confirms that this deploys but under quality for an individual variable it has a list of issues (see attached) and the bound variable is not updating. At this point the publisher shared variables are still functioning fine. By clicking on 'edit variable' I can see that the variable on the subscriber is still bound but the PSP URL is now \\localhost\shared variable library\serial number. Changing the PSP URL on the subscriber to \\192.168.0.1\shared variable library\serial number enables the variable to update as expected.However by this time my executable has already picked up the error and does not function.
I think that the issue lies with the bind URL used on the subscriber as for some reason it does not keep the binding configured in the project and instead changes to 'localhost'. Why is this? Should it not stay bound to the address specified in the project?
I have tried changing the IP addresses in the aliases file so that
[My Computer]
My Computer=localhost
becomes
[My Computer]
My Computer=ip of local machine
This did not help.
The shared variable libraries are included in the build spec to go into the support files directory and they are successfully deployed from there on both publisher and subscriber.
I am using LabVIEW 8.6 on Windows XP
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer,
Lee

Hi Lee,
I hope you are well. Thank you for your post. Your application sounds very interesting.
Looking at your issue I was wondering, have you tried lowering your firewalls, as this may be causing the problem.
Also, another option would be to setup a private network. Do you have access to any routers that you could use to link the two machines independent of your IT's infrastructure?
The other thing to try is two other computers entirely. Again, it would be ideal to take them off the network you are on, but it's something to try if my prior suggestion doesn't work. It should work on the original two machines though, and it's likely that different computers won't solve your problems because I suspect the network.
Remember that the client variables must know the location of the variables on the server, so you can't move the server exe around without changing this value.
Make sure to set the network location in the "Bind to Source" option for the client variables.
It is also possible to write a separate piece of code to install on every machine that is responsible for deploying the library and by doing so eliminate the need for programmatically deploying the variables in the original application. However, this won't really help you, because the variables you use in the application have to be the same as the ones deployed in the library, so if you change the library, they'll no longer be linked and they won't receive data. You'd have to create a separate exe for every binding source you wanted to link to, and then have a second, known library for the sake of communication locally on the computer between the ‘deployer’ and the actual application. The main application could then be assigned the responsibility of launching the correct ‘deployer’' if it sees it needs to switch to a different variable binding source. This method is not the most streamlined or effective, but it might work.
Just to let you know, you will need to use the DSC toolkit.
Please find below some knowledge base links that I think you will find helpful in your application.

How do I Programmatically Change the Data Binding Source for Shared Variables?
I hope this information helps and if you can give these suggestions a go and let me know how you get on, that would be great.

IPhoto '08 album organization while network sharing

I use iPhoto to store and organize (hopefully) a University's photo archive (which is shared on a network). Would anyone happen to know why my albums do not stay organized (in alphabetical order) when I access a shared iPhoto library remotely?
Also, when I create a new folder and place albums inside of it (for further organization purposes because there are many, many albums) then try to access that folder remotely from another mac, that folder is not 'recognized' as a true folder with albums in it, instead it is treated as one big album.
Another issue is that when i try to export my iPhoto library (under file>export) it won't keep the organization structure (the separate albums). Instead, it places the entire collection of photos into one location, thus losing all those albums and hours of organization.
I'm a bit shocked that Apple hasn't found these issues and fixed them 7 releases later.
Plus, for those people on campus that need access to the University photo archive, they have to find a Mac nearby. Is there any way to share this archive with PCs using iPhoto? Or is there an Adobe product or other other product I should be using that is better designed for these purposes (organization/file structure consistency when network sharing and cross-platform compatible)??
I hope I don't have to switch to a new application, everyone in my department (and other Mac departments) are completely comfortable with iPhoto and it would be a huge learning curve for them to try a new photo database/sharing/storing/editing/organizing/etc. application!
Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I use iPhoto to store and organize (hopefully) a University's photo archive (which is shared on a network).
This is way, way beyond the intended use of iPhoto which is personal photo organiser.
Also, when I create a new folder and place albums inside of it (for further organization purposes because there are many, many albums) then try to access that folder remotely from another mac, that folder is not 'recognized' as a true folder with albums in it, instead it is treated as one big album.
Only Albums are shared. Not events. not folders. Only Albums.
Another issue is that when i try to export my iPhoto library (under file>export) it won't keep the organization structure (the separate albums). Instead, it places the entire collection of photos into one location, thus losing all those albums and hours of organization.
If you export your Library you get the photos from your Library. If you want to export albums, then export the albums. The same happens with iTunes. Export from the Library you get the lot. Want the organisation, export playlist by playlist.
Is there any way to share this archive with PCs using iPhoto?
No. iPhoto has no cross platform capability.
There are other cross platform apps. Microsoft's Expression (http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/overview.aspx?key=web) is one but there are others. Search on MacUpdate
Bearing in mind the use you have I really don't think that iPhoto is the correct application for your needs. You need a more robust and scalable application - perhaps even a media server.

Playing a FLV-File in a projector.exe from a network shared folder failes

We want to load and play FLV-Files while our project files
(Projector.exe) and FLV-files are sitting on a network shared
folder with UNC-Path access (\\FILESERVER\sharename\). The problem
is, that the flv-files do not play. If the same application runs on
a local system it works fine. The System.security.sandboxType is
"localTrusted" because it runs in a projector.
We do not want to map the shared folder to a drive letter!
Thank you

I apologize if u can not load the page, its a hosting company issue, their server goes up and down randomnly so please to retry 15mn later, it will be available. Thanks.

Styles being dropped on network shared folder files in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Hello, apoligies if this has already been solved but I could not find anything similar. Recently we have upgraded our staff from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS5.5 and are having some issues with pages dropping the stylesheets which are linked relatively. The relative files are located on a shared network drive which is mapped in Windows 7 as a drive (e.g. My Computer shows the drive as R:).
In Dreamweaver design view up the top it reads:
Address: file:///R|/acrrm/tinnitus/course_content/001.html
and there is a yellow bar up the top which reads:
'common_styles.css' is a remote file and cannot be edited.
We never had this issue before so I was wondering if it was a new limitation of CS5.5 or if there was something I should look out for in the site definition.
Interestingly enough I was able to fix this on one machine by randomly toggling the live code/view buttons, havent had any luck doing that to other machines though.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here are the specs:
O.S: Windows 7
Version: Dreamweaver CS5.5
Site Definition: Network shared drive

Interestingly enough I was able to fix this on one machine by randomly toggling the live code/view buttons, havent had any luck doing that to other machines though.
I would have to say that this operation could not possibly fix anything. I suspect that simply waiting the same amount of time as this operation required would have returned the same result, and it sounds like there is some latency in your network.
Your site is entirely contained on a network shared drive, right? Or is it that only SOME files are on the network shared drive (R:)? Also, where is it you are seeing this?
Address: file:///R|/acrrm/tinnitus/course_content/001.html

Network sharing problem (user permission)

Hi,
I'm having problem with the network sharing and user permision.
My company computer configuration listed as follows:-
iMac 1 - Mac OS 10.6.8
iMac 2 - Mac OS 10.5.8
iMac 3 - Mac OS 10.5.5
PowerMac G5 - Mac OS 10.4.9
4 PC - All windows XP
We have problem with the file sharing on iMac 1.
All the computers can share each other flawlessly. (Mac using SMB to access windows).
However, when iMac 1 copy a folder, or create a new folder in PC, some problem occurs.
- the folder being create/copy was set to be full access (read/write) for everyone in the permissions setting.
- the folder can be share with everyone on the iMac1
- when it copy through the network to a PC, iMac 2, iMac 3, and PowerMac G5 cannot access the foler.
- all the PC and iMac1 still can access it.
Any clue to this funny issue?

What happens if you create another user with administrative right ?
