Newbie question. Trying to connect to my work network from home?

Hi, I need to be able to monitor my work computers from home. Now I have a static IP at work and a dynamic at home. I have Ard3 installed on my laptop which I take to work and I also use it at home ( hopefull to check on renderings at work). When I am at work on the local network I can monitor all the work computers but when I go home I can't. I know that I have to do some configuring but I am not sure what I need to configure. Now the router at work and home are the same model a D-link DI-524. Can anyone help I need to monitor at least but but would also need to monitor 4 others.
Thanks
Anron

I have the Ports 5900 and 3283 fowarding to work computer A and at home I have the Ports forwarded to my laptop. No we have a static ip at work which comes from the the modem into the Dlink Di-524 router. No I we do not use a NAT. At work the flow goes from the modem to the router to a switch to the work Computer A. At home it goes from the modem to the router to a switch to the laptop.
I hope this helps.

I am trying to connect to my work PC from my mac

I currently use the microsoft remote desktop connection for mac but I hate how small the screen is. Does anyone know a better program that would let me view my entire work pc screen from my mac?

You can just login and see everything ...
On the PC enable Sharing for C: and make sure you know a username and password that has at least read access
On the Mac go to System Preferences/Sharing, check File Sharing then hit the Options button
Check the third box 'Share files and folders using SMB (Samba for windows)
Some of your usernames should be showing there check at least one (I have an account created in Accounts called user just for this purpose)
Click Done and close the Sharing panel
On the Desktop go to the top menu bar and select Go/Connect to Server and when that window opens enter smb://name of your PC and enter - when the dialogue opens enter the name of a user account on your PC and it will then mount C:

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

I was wondering if there's a way to connect to my work server from my home iMac i7. I can't seem to get Share Screen to work. I have tried connecting to server using the vnc but doesn't work.

The easiest way would be to use Back to My Mac, but that will only work if the server is a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later and you have the cooperation of the network administrator.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

Trying to connect my airport express to my home WIFI

Hi,
I have been trying to connect a airport express to my home WIFI connection for the purpose of wirelessly transmitting itunes to my Alfresco area using my iphone as a remote.
The problem i currently have is that the airport does not seem to pick up my wireless broadband.
My router is a Netgear dgnd3700.
The procedure i followed so far is : 1. Reset the airport back to factory settings.
2. Plug the ethernet cable in and open airport utility.
3. Tick the circle saying " join existing network ". Here's the problem, my wireless network does not show up.
I can type in the name of my network and also the password but the airport is not picking up the signal .... i cant choose a network.
I can create a new network no worries and connect devices to it but that's not what i'm after. I'd like to join my existing network so i can transmit itunes to my amp.
I've gone through the discussion forum but can't find an answer. I have also tried to manually set up the connection .. same result.
Any help would be great ... i'm about to give up and think it was abad idea ....

If it is the old G version Express you cannot use 6.3 utility.
You must use the 5.6 utility.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.

I can connect to my work network but when I try to do anything I get "ssl_error_rx_unknown_record_type" . I am connected. If I connect to my network it works.

I am connected to my work network. The proxy is not on. I have reset the winsock. Flushed the DNS. Ran the microsoft tweaking tool. I have turned off my antivirus software. I have pretty much done everything I can think of and it will not work I keep getting this error.

Hello,
I found an older issue that is the same as yours and would like you to try the solution that was posted there

Is this the only website with the problem??
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

TS1398 Update iPhone 4s to 6.1.3 (10B329) now I can't connect to any wifi networks at home or at work and all car Bluetooth systems will not connect either. Help! Extremely annoyed at apple for putting out software that causes such mayhem.

My iPhone 4s has been update as I said in subject bar.. Now can't connect to any of my cars Bluetooth systems. Also even more frustratingly can't connect to any wifi networks at home or work!!
How can apple put out such an update that causes so much grief and inconvenience to hundreds of people. Not to mention risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working...outraged!!!!!!

First, grow up. Just because YOUR phone isn't working, doesn't mean Apple put out bad software. I've not had any difficulty, nor has anyone else I know. And just how is Apple risking lives with Bluetooth kits not working? It's YOUR decision to talk on the phone or text and drive. Not Apple's.
We're users here, volunteering our time to help others. Posts like yours, which are whiny and ranting, simply means we're likely to ignore you and not provide you with any help. Not to mention, it makes you look absolutely foolish.
Further making you look foolish is the fact that you haven't even asked a technical support question, nor have you provided anyone here with any troubleshooting steps you might have taken, including those recommended in the user guide.
Good luck getting help.

HT4437 I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by neither iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Any clue? Thanks!

I bought a brand new iPad 3 and an Apple TV, both connected to the same wpa protected wifi network from home. It worked for a day, but when I woke up, the Apple TV couldn't be found anymore by either iPad, MacBook or iPhone. Anybody a solution for this?

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

Trying to connect my iphone 4 to my home wifi network! my android phone gives me the option of pushing the arrows button on my router and on my android phone but cannot find the "push the arrows button" option on my iphone 4. is this option available???

No such option on an iPhone. Just go to Settings>wifi, tap the name (SSID) of your your home network from the list, then when prompted, enter the password.

Need to control my work mac from home

Hello all wise and knowing. I have a G5 at home and 1 at work. I need to be able to control my work computer from home with decent speed. I have a T1 at work and cable at home, but I don't know how to acheive my goal. I tried Chicken of the VNC, but its horribly horribly horribly slow. I read about remote desktop, but it doesn't seem to be what I need. Anyone have a suggestions? Please.......

VNC is the only free option. If you're willing to spend money and ARD doesn't do what you want, you could look into Netopia's Timbuktu or the just-announced PC Anywhere 12.0 from Symantec which now supports Macs.

Accessing Work LAN from home

I'm trying to access my work LAN from home & need some kind of terminal emulation software to access the DBS. Does anyone know of any that will work on Mac OS? I use WRQ Reflection on the Win PC and they don't make a Mac version.

Why can't you just use Terminal.app? I use it for secure shell access and to tunnel numerous (otherwise unencrypted) services (smtp, imap, afp, and vnc) through it. It's in the /Applications/Utilities folder. Pretty much full Unix BSD command line.
And, pardon my ignorance, but what's a DBS?
