[Newbie] FMS not visible in local network

Hi,
I have a problem with FMS 3.5 installed on Windows 7. The problem is that FMS works only on my local machine, I am not able to use it from computers in local network. I turned off all windows firewalls and my machine is visible for other computers - I am able to connect to FMS Welcome site on apache on default port 8134, but streaming fails, and I cannot do the same on port 80. Any help appreciated...

From fms.ini:
# IP address and port(s) Flash Media Server should listen on
# For example:
# ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,80
ADAPTOR.HOSTPORT = :1935,80
# IP (address and) port that Flash Media Server should proxy
# unknown HTTP requests to. Leave empty to disable proxying.
# With no address, specifies a localhost port.
# For example:
# HTTPPROXY.HOST = webfarm.example.com:80
HTTPPROXY.HOST = :8134
So I believe it is...
What can I do if connections are not reaching FMS?

Network shares of folks not on my local network showing up

Folks,
Recently did a fresh install of Leopard on my macbook pro. I'm now finding that at random times, other folks' mac machines are appearing in my finder window (under the right-hand menus). Now none of these machines are on my local home network - in fact, after looking up county tax records, these machines belong to folks that live up to a radius of 3 miles away! Considering all my internet traffic flows through my home router and I block ALL ports except 80 (and a few other ports for my VOIP phone), I'm really concerned that I can see their machines and I'm guessing, they can see mine.
When I navigate to their machines, thankfully I can only see their publicly shared folder which typically contains nothing, but from a security standpoint I'm concerned that the machines are even visible at all! Is anyone else experiencing this? I know that with Leopard, finding other macs on your local network is now a breeze, but surely finding macs on OTHER networks cannot be a feature! Ok - even if this is a feature, how do I turn it off? I don't want anyone NOT on my local lan even knowing my machine exists...

kb1 - I know you're trying to help but let me make it very clear so there is no ambiguity. I'm actually very very anal when it comes to wireless security. Nothing is allowed on my network that isn't pre-set up in my mac address filter list. I regularly check access to my network by removing a laptop from my pre-approved list and clearing out its WPA credentials. Getting on my network without a physical connection would require cracking my WPA encryption AND mac address spoofing. Not an easy feat in a suburban neighborhood. My network is not allowing any unathorized access via the wireless capability of the router.
I'm smart enough to know there is a **** of alot I don't know - therefore I am willing to concede that the Macbook's wireless card could be trying to make ad-hoc connections with other non-lan machines while it is connected to my infrastructure, but that in itself would seem like a bug to me, not a feature.

Not connecting to local network?

Hi
I just got back to uni and went to plug my laptop into the local network so I could get online. But it does not connect for some reason, whereas it was fine a few weeks ago. I looked at the Network settings under system preferences and they were exactly as they should be. Has anyone got any ideas? It can connect to wireless networks fine, are there a bunch of settings elsewhere that I could fiddle with?
Thanks

Try cutting the power to it, otherwise there should be a little reset button which you would need a paperclip to activate (you would hold it until you see the lights flash or do something unordinary). Weather or not you have this button depends on carrier, dsl or cable, combo box etc. If it's working on other computers, then that probably indicates that your computer is not getting the correct IP address (possibly the same from before you left for your trip). The box may have changed it automatically (as most do). After shutting down your computer, i would try the things listed above, then reboot. If you are still having problems it may not be a bad idea to call your cable/dsl company. I know when i have had these problems in the past they have been able to fix them when all else has failed.

Dell PC Not Visible to iMac Network

I have a home network using Airport consisting of an iMac G5 (10.4.5), an eMac G4 (10.3.9), and a Dell Laptop (Windows XP). I am sharing an internet connection from the iMac. File sharing is enabled on all computers and works fine except that the Dell is not visible in the Finder Network or Workgroup window. The Dell DOES automatically become visible in the eMac's Finder window and I can connect and share files on the Dell using the eMac so I know the PC is configured correctly. Sharing Services on the iMac have Personal File Sharing, Windows Sharing, Personal Web Sharing, and Printer Sharing enabled. I have tried to connect to the Dell through the iMac by using the Connect to Server route but I get an error each time.
Anyone have an idea why I can't connect to the Dell on one computer but not the other?
Thanks.

Try setting IPv6 to "off" in the System Preferences Network pane on your Tiger computer. I have copied and pasted the instructions from MacFixIt below:
"In order to change this setting, open System Preferences and click on your currently used interface (Ethernet, AirPort, etc.). Click on the TCP/IP settings for the interface -- at the bottom if you see a button which says 'Configure IPv6...' click that and set it to "Off." Press the Apply Now button."
This has been reported to solve many network problems in Tiger.

File sharing and music sharing in iTunes not working on local network

Hi Folks
I am now going to make a topic of my own this time. Here is how it doesn´t work:
I have a MBP with Mac OS 10.5.4 connected via Airport to my local network. The switch is a zyXel 2602HW-D1A. On my network there is an iMac Flat Panel 800 mHz and an even older iMac bondiblue rev. A. Both of the old ones are running (smoothly) on Panther. The two old ones are connected via ethernetports (wired) on the zyXel-switch. I also have an Apple TV connected wireless to the switch. There is also two printers connected to the network.
Until recently, don´t know exactly when, everything has worked just fine. The two old macs showing up perfectly in the sidebar of a Finder window. I could also connect to them via the command K. Musicsharing in iTunes also worked very well. But now it is impossible for my MBP to connect to the other Macs. They show up rarely in the sidepane af the Finder window, but when i try to make a connection it is impossible. It just turns the little wheel for a short while and then it says connecting failed. Also the command K command doesn´t work. The other way round is no problem. The two old ones connect perfectly together and to the MBP. Musicsharing is also lost FROM the MBP. There is absolutely no problems in the connection to the Apple TV from the MBP as well. All three Macs connect perfectly to the internet. I can also print from the MBP. AND it strangely connects perfectly to all PCs on my job-network, it is a PC only, LAN.
So far i have tried almost any combination of turning on and off firewall, allow only special sharing etc. For now the firewall is set allow everything to connect (and it has always been that way) Network settings has also been toggled in any way they can. I have done all three cron jobs and repaired permissions a few times. The zyXel switch has also been reset and restarted.
I also have a strange minor problem: I can´t open log via the show log button in the advanced pane of firewall settings. There just nothing happening when i click the button. I also had another problem in turning on Airport the other day. I toggled on and off a few settings (Appletalk on and off did the trick) and then it suddenly worked.
I have a strange feeling of something corrupt on my MBP. Or is it just that networking on Leopard is a bit unstable??
I would appreciate some help her. I am sure that the problem lies within the MBP, or what do you think?
Cincerely
Mads

Thanks - the weekend was very pleasant indeed!
I agree that something seems to awry in the Leopard MBP. The question is "what". The symptoms now are:
1) iTunes music sharing from MBP is broken
2) Connecting to Panther Mac via AFP is broken (although one Mac can be connected via IP address)
3) Machine works well on a Windows network
Based on all of this, I would guess that there is a problem in the "Bonjour" networking of the MBP. You could try:
1. Using a different account to see if it is local to your user id.
2. Failing that, removing your com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist and com.apple.AppleShareClient.plist files from /Library/Preferences
Outside of that, I would have to do some more digging.

Mac Mini not visible in Mac network (shared drives, remote desktop)

Hi,
I got the following problem since a few months and can't figure what the problem could be.
My Mac Mini in not visible on my other macs in Finder oder Path Finder.
With unsing Apple + K shortcut I can connect to alle Mac Mini drives.
- Both machines have 10.8.4. installed
- Router is a Time Capsule
-> MBP connected via WiFi
-> Mac Mini via LAN cable
- IP Adress will be set via DHCP (static IPs won't help, tried that of course)
- Remote Desktop und Sharing is activated on both machines within preferences
- MacMini sees my MBP und my GFs MB
- MBP is able to see my GFs MB, but not my MacMini
- No Firewall acticated on both machines
- rights have been checked and repaired with the harddrive tool
Anybody an idea what I can try next?
Thanks!

Time Capsule not visible on WiFi network

Tried to set up a new Time Capsule via the airport utility but it will not identify a Wifi Network to connect to (objective is to enlarge the network, rather than to establish a new network). There is already an older model of time capsule connected to the same router via WiFi to enlarge the network and it works well.
Is it really the only solution to connect the time capsule to the router via Cable and establish the connection like that? (That would be exactly what we do not want - another cable) Multiple resets to factory settings did not solve the issue. Anyone there to help? Thanks

There is already an older model of time capsule connected to the same router via WiFi to enlarge the network and it works well.
Connected by ethernet or by wireless?? What router is it connected to?
An apple router can only extend wireless of another apple router and only once.. ie you can have a main base and one repeater.. you cannot repeat twice.
You can use EOP (homeplug) adapters if ethernet is not suitable.

Fix for Mac not connecting to local network

Hi,
I'm a uni student and I've had trouble connecting my Macbook Pro to the local Uni network so I can access computers connected to the network from my computer in my dorm. It worked perfectly fine the first day and then it stopped working. I contacted Apple today to fix the problem and was told to the following procedure:
OS X Mavericks: Reset your computer’s PRAM
It solved the issue perfectly and I also found the reason for why my Mac was not connecting. Well since I've got a few more devices at home I've setup 'Internet Sharing' on the Mac so my ethernet connection is shared wireless through the computer's built in router. Turning this function on for some reason blocks you out from accessing your network. So yea, I thought this might help anyone else who've had the same problem, since I couldn't seem to find it anywhere on the internet!

Not on this forum. Classic Mac OS 9 is not the same as Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

Streaming flash media server to the world and not just your local network

hello, i have downloaded and installed flashe media server.....but i have som problems which are: i am on a network which is connected to the internet and i was able to get the ip of my pc using the comand prompt (i.e typing ...ipconfig/all....in the comand prompt window) ...i used this ip in my flash media encoder in place of "localhost" in the fms url, and i was able 2 connect fine ,i the copied my fms url to the osmf player and i generated my html code and put it in my webpage and everything did work fine, but the proble is that only the people who are on thesame network with me were able to view the video on the webpage wereas people in other countries could not view the video....... so please how can i be able to make my video acessable to the whole world ,because i work in a television company and they have asked me to undertake the task to stream thier broadcast online to the whole world........please i would like u to put me through the right things to do because have been having sleepless night on flash media server.....would be expecting a reply from anyone who can help me as quick as possible. thanks

Hey Kristich,
Is the server that you have created behind some NAT, etc?
If you are using an IP of the form 10.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x then these are private IPv4 address spaces and not public IPs(which is unique), and you wont be able access them from outside.

Apple TV gen 3 - AirPlay not visible on wireless network

Hi,
I've just bought a new Apple TV gen 3 however I could not get the airplay to work properly (both on my iPad 2 & iPhone 4s).
A little background info regarding my current network setup, due to the location of my room from my living area I could not get strong signal from my wireless network. To solve the problem I've installed an additional access point in my room with different SSID but utilizing the existing internet access via a powerline network adapter. This has solved my wireless coverage issue within my home.
As my Apple TV is installed in my room, I connected it to the wireless network in my room. Everything is working well (i.e. access to internet, connecting to my iTune account etc and YouTube are no problem) except AirPlay. I can't see the AirPlay icon on both my other apple devices. However, I can use the Remote app on my iPad to control my Apple TV but just cannot use AirPlay to stream anything from my other devices to Apple TV.
I tried everything such as reset the Apple Tv & reinstalling its software, soft resetting my other devices and forgetting the network etc but to no avail. I suspect that the problem may be related to my wireless network so I tried connecting the Apple Tv to my original wireless network, it can connect but the signal is rather weak. I then connect my iPad to the same network. This time I did get the AirPlay to work but due to the weak signal on the iPad using the original wireless network AirPlay keeps dropping off nd when it works it is very slow.
Is there any ways of getting AirPlay to work properly over the new network in my room which has much stronger signal if I connect both my oPad nd Apple TV to it? Pls help....

Hi jcool17,
Thanks for replying. Yes I do have 2 SSID broadcasting and all my devices are apple devices are connected to the same SSID which is in my room but AirPlay won't work.
No, my current wireless devices in my room is not Apple. Used to have an Apple Airport Express but it died on me after 3 years. Got a good deal on a Dlink which I bought to replace the The AE.
And yes, AirPlay is turned 'on' on my Apple TV.

Public folder is not visible over office network

Small office, mixed network of about 8 macs and a pile of PC's. I'm not sure about the pc's but none of the macs can see my shared folder. They can get to my files by logging in as me, but not as guest. Nothing appears in the list of volumes when logging in as guest. Sharing is turned on. The public folder is set to drwxrwxrwx. The drop box is set to drwx-wx-wx. I tried to reassign it using the utility sharepoints, to no avail. Tried to assign it a new sharepoint using NetInfo Manager using this tutorial at macosxhints. and it also failed to accomplish anything. I am at a loss. I think it started happening after I updated to 10.4, but I am not sure, it has been going on for a long while now...
other possibly related wierdness: I show up in the terminal and some other network related places as one of the pc's on the network.

Dual 2.7 G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well, I'm tapped for now at least, with respect to things that I can remember seeing or reading about having caused this issue in the past. Just to recap to make it easier for anyone else that may see the thread:
The 'shareDir' property has a value of "Public"
The folder "~/Public/" exists
The permissions of "Public" are "777" (the default is 755 but the 'x' on "others" is what is important).
Filevault is not enabled.
Guest Access is enabled and is working because they can log on, just not choose volumes
Users can "see" the "Public" folder of a freshly created account.
The password has been updated to "Tiger" standards.
Since it works for the new accounts, the problem has to be something user specific, but it isn't any of the usual suspects, so I'm baffled. Just in terms of looking for anything unusual, these commands might turn something up (the 'ls' ones are repeated with 'sudo' explicitly to see if "root" sees things differently compared to other users because the AFP server runs as root):<pre>ls -lend ~
ls -lend /Users/username
sudo ls -lend /Users/username
ls -lend /Users/username/Public/
sudo ls -lend /Users/username/Public/
nicl . -read /users/username</pre>Another approach that might turn something up is to try to explicitly mount your "Public" folder from another Mac via the command line to see what errors are generated. For this, you will need an IP address for your computer to be entered in place of where it says "11.22.33.44":<pre>mkdir /Volumes/testguest
mount_afp afp://11.22.33.44/username /Volumes/testguest
or
mount_afp "afp://;AUTH=No%20User%[email protected]/username" /Volumes/testguest</pre>The other thing is that since the problem appears to be limited to your account, you could skip the troubleshooting and try setting up a "share point" somewhere outside your user's folder, such as in "/Users/Shared". If it works, then hopefully that can be used as a workaround for this most perplexing problem...

DW File Names Not Visible in Local View?

Hi, in Dreamweaver CS4 in the bottom right of the UI is the (Files > Local View) It shows a list of the files in you website. The files were appearing just fine but now all I can see is the DW icon for each file unless I hover over the file to see what it says. Before the whole file name was easily visible. I’ve never had this happen before.
Anyone know what’s up with this and how I can fix this?

Raw diskslices not visible in local zones

Hi,
I'm using sol X86-64 and created a local container. I want to run Oracle with ASM in this container. Because of that i need raw disks (of disk slices) in my container. I added them in the global container with the add device / set match command (see below).
I rebooted my zone (also tried to halt and boot), but i can't see the devices in the local zones.
Anyone ideas ????

It is "Solaris 10 8/07 s10x_u4wos_12b X86". So, i will look into this solution. It looks promising. I will let you know if it worked.
By the way, We're running sol x86-64 as a quick test. We will eventually be running Sol 10 SPARC.

DNS not resolving on local network

When I initally set up the server I could go to ktecserver.ktec.us and it would resolve and let me access the server, now the only way to do it is to use ktecserver.local (which sometimes works) but mostly I am stuck with using the IP address of the server to get to it. I have the server as the default dns server for the client computers but it doesn't seem to work. I don't know what has changed or where I need to look to try and troubleshoot this.
Also I want to set it up so people can go to something like x.ktec.us and get to specific services on my mac. One thing I don't know about is security, I'm very hesitent to expose any of my server to the internet because I don't know how to properly log/defend against attacks and intrusions, any advice would be great.
Thanks

You want LAN DNS working, then you want public DNS working.
I'm using an airport extreme as a router (so I guess NAT firewall ;P ) and the VPN service on the server.
I am well aware of what you are running, of your configuration goals and current set-up, with the various issues and discussions around VPN pass-through (in general and with the Apple devices specifically, and often around L2TP pass-through), and that this configuration is a frequent topic of discussions here in the forums.
Having a VPN-capable firewall makes for a simpler configuration, and also allows you to access various (other) hosts on your LAN when your server is down.
Which logs should I be looking at?
It's usually dig and ping commands to determine what's working and not working with DNS, and not logs. Typical commands include...
$ dig host.example.com
$ dig -x host.ip.address.here
$ ping host.example.com
$ traceroute host.example.com
You're looking to determine if the forward and reverse DNS translations work, and if they match, and if you can ping the host, and then (potentially) what the IP route to the host might be.
Also why would it just quit working, I can verify that the airport extreme is giving out the right DNS server
The address of that DNS server would be the IP address of the DNS server on your LAN, and no ISP DNS servers, correct?
With remote access via VPN, you need have IP routing correct, and this means that both ends of the VPN need to be in different subnets, and it's typical to have issues when the target LAN is in 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.0.0/24, and it's common to move NAT'd LANs that you manage out of 192.168.0.0/16 and into a subnet somewhere in the 172.16.0.0/12 or 10.0.0.0/8 blocks.
You can also try forcing all traffic onto the VPN as a test. That's an option on the VPN set-up.

Canon MP980 not visible as wired network printer

I have a Canon MP980, ethernet attached that worked fine on two MacBook Pros running Leopard. Upgraded to SL on one of the machines and the printer can't be discovered. Updated drivers, works fine USB attached. Spent an hour on the phone with Canon tech. Can ping it. Scanner works. We trashed preferences, repaired permissions, reinstalled again, no luck. Canon sent me to Apple who told me that network printer issues were "not supported." Suggested I try the forums. Here I am, any advice? When I run the Canon IJ Network tool, it shows me the mac address, when I click "Apply" nothing happens. Network printer never shows up in the add printer panel. Only "printer" listed is Canon MP980 Series but the "Kind" column lists "Bonjour Scanner."

Here you go. Thanks for your help!
