Newbie question- Controlling computer over internet

I have ARD 2.2, running on ibook G3 using OSX 10.39.
My mom, who lives quite far away just bought a mac (her first) and I'm trying to use ARD to take control of her computer so as to set it up for her.
She's using a new Intel Imac running OS 10.4x Should I be able to control her despite our differences in OS?
The added problem is that her computer is connected through a router, so her IP address starts with a 192, which is usually a locally assigned IP I think.
Anyway, should I be able to take control of her with this setup? If not, would I be able to if she connected directly to the internet (no router)?
Thanks

Don't worry about doing anything to your AirPort Station; nothing there needs to be configured. It's the other router (probably a Linksys or DLink?) that requires configuring as well as yur mom's Mac. You'll need to know the current IP, mask, and router information from the Network System Prefs (TCP/IP). You'll also need to know the DNS server addresses (although sometimes you can just use the router # and be okay).
Setup the Mac (her Mac) with a static IP out of the DHCP range; if her current address is 192.168.1.100, then use 192.168.1.151 as most of the router default to handing out no more than 50 DHCP addresses. Whatever mask has been assigned by DHCP is what you'll want to use for the static setting. The router will be the same thing (whatever it is through DHCP). DNS can be found by logging into the router and checking its "status" page. Alternatively you can call the ISP.
Log into the router, go to the "Port Forwarding" or "Gaming" page, set it forward traffic (both TCP and UDP) on port 3823 and port 5900 to 192.168.1.152 (which is the new address you're using for your mom's Mac). Save the config settings.
Check the router's status page for the DNS and public IP address (the one assigned by the ISP that the router is using "on the outside"). Note this as you'll need it later.
Now you (on your Mac, use the ARD admin app to capture the public IP (mentioned in the previous paragraph). Use the password you (or your mom) set when configuring ARD sharing in the Sharing systems prefs. You're done.

Accessing Computer over Internet?

I'm wondering if its possible to access my computer from the internet when I'm not at home. I know if my computers on a local network one can access it, but is there a way to do a similar thing from the internet? I have my mac mini at home connected to a cable modem. I'm guessing if I can set it up as a type of web server it might be possible. Any ideas?

First, make it easy on yourself and sign up for a free DynDNS account so you don't have to remember your IP address (if it changes regularly)--there are other similar services, but I don't know what they are.
Second, set up your router to port forward the necessary ports (21 for FTP, 548 for afp, and 22 for SSH--more on that later).
Third, don't use regular FTP as it is not secure. Use SFTP and try Fugu.
If you want to make other connections to your home, learn how to, tunnel in via SSH and make all connections to your home computer secure. If you use this method, you can only open one odd, not popular port and pass all protocols through it via the SSH tunnel.
Fourth, make it even more secure by using Public/Private keys (noted in the previous article and explained a little more here).
There are various tunnel helpers out there. Search for Mac OS X SSH Tunnel and you should find lots of information.
Further, stocksys talks about editing the sshd_config file to change some other sshd controls to prevent unwanted visitors. Another article I found also suggested changing the listening ports for ssh so that you don't have to open the normal, well-know ssh port to the world.

Newbie Question: Control DO on Exit

Hello,
I am brand new to LabVIEW and need to get a small project done quickly. I have only really used Express VI's...
I do, however, have a DAQ and control system up and running (I'm sure it could be done much more efficiently, and I plan to refine as I learn)...
What I really need to know are two things:
1) How to ensure a pair of digital outputs are off on start-up (I have them default to off on power-up in DAQmx) but I mean on start-up of my VI.
2) How to ensure they're off on exit of the VI (no matter what the state of the toggle in the on screen, if they stop it, I need the outputs to go off).
Please can anyone give me some help, or an example?
-Jeff

Might I recommend taking some tutorials:

LabVIEW 101

Newbie Question - Accessing Email Over Network

OK so I purchased a laptop and set up a wireless network in my home. Everything seems to be working fine except I can't figure out how to see my incoming emails from the laptop. I get the mobileme messages on the laptop but not the messages that are coming in from my email provider. I could go into share screen mode and see emails on the IMAC that way. What am I doing wrong??

Do you have your email account on MobileMe or with another ISP? If the latter then you need to configure an account for your regular email provider, not MobileMe.

Configure time capsule to open over internet

hello
i have macbook pro retina os x yosemiti, i bought time capsule 3T, i connect it to my laptop and is ok,
i want to configure it to open remotly and control it over internet,
please advise on how to do that?
thank you for your reply in advance

Post immediately above yours has the answers.
How can I access my Airport Time Capsule from a remote location?
Configure over WAN though is problematic and your TC will give you an error.
It is best to stick to what BTMM offers.. if you really need access to the level of actually changing the settings you are highly likely to mess up your own access. That is why you should do it professionally using vpn connection.. not some trick method.

How to control and display video from IP camera using ActiveX control over Internet.

Hello,
I need to control my IP cameras over the internet. I need to log into the cameras and then display the video. There's an ActiveX control registered on the computer and works fine with IE to access and control the cameras. Controlling the cameras using IE works fairly well, but there are some quirks that I'd like to eliminate by using my own custom code.
Has anyone created a vi that controls a Foscam FI8905W over the Internet? I’ve attempted, but I keep getting a catastrophic failure when I try to call ManagementConnect Method in the DVM_IPCam2 ActiveX Control Module V1.0. I'm not sure whether I need to establish an IP connection with the cameras first, or allow the ActiveX control to establish it for me.
Some example code would be greatly appreciated. Running LabVIEW 2011 on a Win7 32bit. Even some code used to control a similar device using ActiveX over Internet would be helpful.

I have an example vi for interfacing to the foscam activex.
I plan on using mouse click events within the activex window to trigger the PT function.
I only have the basic up/down/right/left directions and not the down-right/down-left/up-right/up-left in the enum. You can load the camera's web page and view the source to see the Java script code that uses the activex control. There are definitions for the other directions.
I had to mark the control as "Disabled" to keep click events from going to the activex control. If I double click the control, it goes full screen. If I then click on it to get out of full screen mode the video never returns or returns to the wrong spot in the VI.

Hide computer's name over internet!

Hi there ,
Can my computer's name be seen over internet just like windows? If yes how can I hide it while surfing via browser or even when I'm not surfing and having other connections via other things?

But as long as IP of TC is visible the incoming connection can also be redirected to my computer.
No, actually, it cannot. Not unless you edit the settings for your Time Capsule and set up port forwarding... and that's assuming that the cable/DSL modem is a "dumb device" that simply passes on all traffic, which may or may not be the case.
( by the way hiding the IP was not my question)
No, but it is relevant to the question. The issue, as I understood it, was whether or not your machine is accessible from the outside world, and it is not.
By sending a request to a website or server for a connection you send many information about your system( browser,OS, version, mac address, language and so on) in windows as far as I know the name of the user's computer can be seen by the server side
I don't know if that is true or not, but I can tell you for a fact this is not the case on a Mac. I just used Wireshark to capture all the traffic involved in loading a web page, then searched it for my machine's name. It was not found. Of course, I'm not sure what anyone would do with my machine's name... I'll even tell it to you right now: "Zeus". That gives you no power whatsoever over my machine.

Newbie Question: How much computer do I need?

Newbie Question:
I would like to use MainStage 3 in a live performance environment to play bars, parties, etc. I'm not looping, using it to playback recordings, processing outboard equipment or vocal processing. I want to stop carrying Rolands, Nords, Korgs, etc and get to a controller and a rack with a Mac Mini in it.
I tested a download of Mainstage 3 on my home Mac Mini (late 2012, 3.5 Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB drive) and it seemed to run fairly well. $30 well invested so I trekked forward... I purchased a Mac Mini (late 2009, 2.52GHz Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM, 128GB SSD) for $200. I started to do more elaborate keyboard setups to see how the CPU would hold up. It typically runs from 30% to 50% of capacity (CPU and Memory) It actually boots and runs better than the i5. I hear the occasion gitch, but it actually seems to be getting better in time (or I'm rock and roll deaf.
I got a rack, an Airport Express, a Radial USB interface and a Nektar Panorama P6. It's starting to get expensive, but I'm emboldened by the actual quality for the sound and the flexibility of arranging for live performance. What used to take me two and three keyboards to play, I can now fit on one performance patch.
OK, now the question... am I at the limits of this little Core 2 Duo? Should I upgrade the i5 with more RAM and a bigger SSD and use that? Should I get a new(er) i7 and bite the $1,500 bullet for the additional RAM and SSD?
I see that most of you are running pretty nice Macbook Pros with i7 and lots of everything. My needs are modest; am I OK?
BTW, I want to run a Mac Mini in a box because I don't want to carry a laptop out in the open. If I was doing bigger shows I wouldn't care but I play some rowdy bars and constantly have folks hanging off me while I'm playing. It's fun, but hard on gear. If you can't drop it or dip it in beer, it won't last long where I work.
Matt Donnelly

Rule of thumb: newer and faster is better. But, depending the complexity of your needs you may be OK with an older Mac. Some glitches that happen in a live performance are due to loss of communication with USB or Firewire inputs, so make sure they're secure. I recently upgraded from a 2010 Mac Mini 2.6 dual core with 16 GB RAM, which was used live for nearly four years, to the latest Mac Mini 3.0 i7 with 16 GB RAM and a 500 GB SSD. I was getting an occasional stuck note with the older one. The new one is rock solid. Some of my patches may have up to a dozen channel strips mapped to three keyboards. The Mini is mounted in a rack next to a MOTU Ultralite Hybrid. It is a good idea to map a panic button on your keyboard to controller # 123(all notes off). Also, you might want to invest in a battery backup power supply(APC, Cyberpower, etc.-$40-$60) to protect your Mac against power loss, which can damage you hard drive.

RV042G Newbie Questions

I have the new Cisco RV042G router, and I have just a few "newbie questions" about it as I get started using it:
The firmware on board is v4.2.1.02. Since this is a brand new router, is that the latest firmware?
Under Time>DST Dates, what do I need to configure in there? I'm in the US, Central Time.
I want to use Back to My Mac from iCloud (formerly MobileMe). Under the iCloud preferances pane on my Mac, it's saying: "Back to My Mac may be slow because NAT Port Mapping (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is turned off on your router. Turn on NAT-PMP or UPnP." What should I enable on my router in order for Back to My Mac to better function?
I'm using a VOIP phone on the network (only 1 device with a couple phones). Are there any QoS settings I should tweak for better performance of my VOIP phone? I did change the port the VOIP phone is connected to to High (instead of Normal) under Port Settings. Will this help boost performance?
I also want to setup a VLAN on a port for guests to access the Internet, but not have any access to my personal network. Here's the steps I've done so far. Is this sufficient or is there anything else I need to do?
I went to Setup>Network, enabled Multiple Subnets.
I added 192.168.254.1/255.255.255.0 as a subnet.
I went to Port Management>Port Setup, set the port I wanted to use (Port 4) to VLAN2.
I went to Firewall>Access Rules, added two rules:
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.254.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Easy. just goto the DHCP field and fill in the Static DHCP fields.
Assigning static IP addresses by adding devices from a list
Click Show unknown MAC addresses. The IP & MAC binding list appears. If the web browser displays a message about the pop-up window, allow the blocked content.
The devices are listed by the IP address and the MAC address. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or back panel of a device.) If needed, you can clickRefresh to update the data.To select a device, first enter a descriptive Name. Then check the Enable box. Alternatively, select all devices in the list by clicking the check box at the top of the Enable column.
Click OK to add the devices to the Static IP list, or click Close to close the pop-up window without adding the selected devices. After you click OK, a message appears. The message includes important information. Read it before clicking OK. Keep the browser open and wait until the selected MAC addresses appear in the Static IP list.
Modify or remove list entries, as needed:
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can click Add New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.
To delete an entry from the list: Click the entry that you want to delete, and then clickDelete. To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Assigning static IP addresses by entering devices manuallyIn the Static IP Address section, add or edit entries as needed. Remember that the settings are not saved until you click the Save button.
To add a new device to the list: Enter the following information, and then click Add to list.
Static IP Address: Enter the static IP address. You can enter 0.0.0.0 if you want the router to assign a static IP address to the device.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the device. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or the back panel of a device.) Enter the address without punctuation.
Name: Enter a descriptive name for the device.
Enable: Check this box to assign the static IP address to this device.
To add another new entry: Enter the information, and then click Add to list.
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can clickAdd New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.
To delete an entry from the list: Click the entry that you want to delete, and then click Delete. To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Using the Static IP List to Block Devices
You can use the Static IP list to control access to your network. You can block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have the correct IP address.
Add devices to the Static IP list as described in Static IP Addresses.
Enable or disable the following features:
Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address: Check this box to prevent a computer from accessing your network if its IP address has been changed. For example, if you previously assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.100 and someone configures the device to use 192.168.149, the device will not be allowed to connect to your network. This feature discourages users from changing their device IP addresses without your permission. Uncheck the box to allow access regardless of the current IP address assignment.
Block MAC address not on the list: Check this box to block access from devices that are not included in the Static IP list. This feature prevents unknown devices from accessing your network. Uncheck the box to allow access by any connected device that is configured with an IP address in the correct range.
Hope that helps.

[SOLVED] cool'n'quiet & modprobe newbie question

This is probably very newbie question, but I have no idea what to do.
I want to have cool'n'quiet working on my amd64. I turned it on in bios, and downloaded powernowd.
When I type:
> modprobe powernow-k8
> powernowd
it works. I added powernowd to demons in my /etc/rc.conf but after restarting computer it doesn't work - I have to type both commands above again.
How to make my system not forget loaded module after restart?
Last edited by senjin (2007-08-24 19:49:31)

Use either /etc/modprobe.conf or the MODULES= array in /etc/rc.conf. I would have thought powersaved provided a config file from where you could pick a module to load though... sure there isn't one in /etc/ ?
Personally i would opt for powersaved, since i think it's more full featured (it's more a _power_ than a _cpu_ manager), but then again you may not care for anything other than controlling the cpu stepping/speed.

Two EX90 devices can make video calls over Internet with No VCS-C and VCS-E

Dear Experts;
I have just started TelePresence and VCS 2 weeks before by going through cisco docs and videos and I had taken a risk of implementing the infrastructure elements.
We are now implementing Cisco Tele presence with VCS-C, VCS-E TMS,TCS,MCU and End points with Jabber in One setup.
and in another setup CUCM 10.5,UCCX 10.5 IM&P,Jabber with some 10 agents.
Now the question is In our same building in 2nd floor we have one EX90 and in 5th Floor one EX90 and over LAN we can make video calls using IP address.
In the same way is it possible to make a video call between 2 EX90 devices present in different location in the same city over Internet without the involvement of VCS-C and VCS-E.
Appreciate your valuable reply.
Regards
Debashis

The simple answer to that is NO! Where is the EX90 registered to at the moment? Is it on the VCS? or CUCM

Is there a way to have a Chicken of the vnc type GUI over internet in ARD3?

Hello, to whoever reads this question, thanks in advance if you can help.
My need is this. I regularly use Chicken of the VNC for multiple administration over the internet, but what I like is the possibility to have same IP but Multiple clients with fixed IP (local) behind Firewall, i.e. x.x.x.x:5910 x.x.x.x:5920, x.x.x.x:5930, etc. and i can connect at the same time to the different machines to admin them.
Question: Is there any possibility to have the multiple connections with ARD 3 or even ARD 2 over the internet with same IP?
At one point ARD 3 did work for me like that for about an hour and then it stopped, blocking out 2 of 3 machines in the same IP. I mean, it acutally let me have 2 windows open on the same IP with different ports over internet and was flabbergasted, but then it stopped! when I quitted and restarted, I could do it no more…
I really like ARD, but if I got to manually change the port everytime I log in… yikes…!! I admin 20 machines in 10 different locations, so everytime i gotta log in to machine 'a' then change ports to machine 'b' for 10 locations everyday… well I hope you get the idea.
BTW i tried looking all over the forum, but could not find this info specifically.
PS thank you for your time

I, too, was a bit bummed out by the lack of this feature. I wondered if ARD 3 had some sort of mode Apple themselves used "silently".
There IS a way to make it work, however -- via VPN. I discovered that once I used VPN into my company's intranet, ARD 3's scanner could see EVERY Mac in the company.
Setting up a VPN nowadays is pretty simple -- many routers handle the support for you. OS X's Internet Connect feature makes it trivial to connect to the VPN, once it is properly set up from the inside of the company.

How to transfer more than one files over internet at once?

hi, friends,
I just wonder how to transfer more than one files from one computer to another over internet at once. Not using ftp. pls any one give me the solution.

This isn't hard to do, but it depends on your exact need. I did something very similar to let me upload all my mp3 file from home to work using sockets (don't have the code anymore..).
What I did was implement a "pull" approach rather than a "push" approach. In other words, everytime my server got a request from a client, it served up the next file. It didn't know or care that the client was always the same.
If you can set up a server to serve one file when a client attaches, then basically just put that code in a loop.
If this doesn't meet you need, it might still be helpful as a starting point...

Domain Name settings in Solaris - Newbie question

Sorry for a newbie question!
I am already pointing a domain name to web hosting for email account. Now, I need an application server to run ERP software and Oracle, and installing Solaris and Oracle need a domain name.
If I point my domain name to the server, how do I receive emails from web hosting???
Install an email server to the application server instead? What can I do if I want the same domain name?

Your questions are completely off-topic for the forum.
These SunOS forums are for questions on <i>"how do I install my OS"</i>
You particular question is in the <i>"how can I install Solaris while using the CD drive"</i> forum.
So, if you had a question on how to edit the /etc/inet/hosts file to establish a FQDN on the computer, then it might be appropriate for the forum.
Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on where to redirect you, except perhaps to the Sun Java Enterprise System suite of applications?
