Perhaps I'm stupid, can't connect

ok,, i'm an experienced user, but not at remote desktop. Tried connecting to my
Powermac from my powerbook via remote PC, but keep getting a response " The client cannot connect to the remote conection" either the computer is busy ( which it's not) or remote connections are not enabled ( which they are). I'm using my lan IP address to connect to it (192.168.x.xxx) ....I've even tried using the computer name.local both to no avail. Can anyone tell me what i"m doing wrong??
Thanks!!

On the PowerMac - make sure under Sharing you have Remote Desktop turned on, and rights given to at least one user (usually the admin user). Also make sure you're running the same version of ARD on both systems. (They have to match) Tiger requires ARD 2.2 to function properly.
On the Powerbook, in the Remote Desktop Admin program, click on scanner and make sure you see the PowerMac - when you connect to it (or drag it to your Master List) it's going to prompt you for the username and password of the user with ARD rights (above) - make sure this is correct.
If you're not even seeing it in the Scanner, or connecting always fails, you need to confirm you have a clean connection over the network - try pinging your PowerMac, then test remote access via SSH (remote login) to see if that works. If everything but ARD works smoothly, you may just need to download and reinstall ARD.

After trying to set up access control, my Airport Utility is no longer able to find my Base Station. My PC still sees my wireless network but I can't connect to it.

A friend told me he was able to access my network from a different device with no password so I decided to set up an access control. Following the prompts, I entered my IP address, and then my Airport stopped working. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, but got the same thing. The screen I get is that "Airport Utility was unable to find any Airport wireless devices", and askes me if I want to rescan. When I rescan I get the same message. My Airport light is green and my PC recognizes the network, my software just can't connect to it. A friend suggested I entered the wrong IP address (which I found on my computer under "connections", but even after I tried a different one which is supposed to be from the network, I still get the same error message. What am I doing wrong?

A friend told me he was able to access my network from a different device with no password so I decided to set up an access control.
This could be bullsh!t on your friend's part perhaps? Do you ever recall seeing a blue-light on the base station?
Following the prompts, I entered my IP address, and then my Airport stopped working.
The acces control list is where you put in your Mac Address, this is not the same thing as an IP.

Can't connect via Ethernet to Express. Airtunes works, no ethernet though

Hi,
I'm having trouble connecting an old iMac g4 without an Airport Card to an Express over Ethernet. My Extreme is running great, the Express says it is connected to it with WPA/WPA2 (green light and all) but can't connect it over Ethernet to the iMac for whatever reason.
I'm connecting to the main base station on a MacBook just fine.
Thanks in advance to whoever can help with this

Hi,
Thanks for your response. I've found a very odd, counterituitive, shouldn't work, kind of fix. I HOPE it stays fixed...
When working in the Airport Utility, devices will not always show up. If you click in the upper right corner of your screen where the Airport signal is and select the network, you can force the utility to see it. (Think of this as the doctor saying "Nope, can't find your kidney to do surgery" and you pointing out "Hey doc it's right there!")
After a long wait, you can do the same for your Express, if it pops up in that same menu (typically with an odd number attached to it perhaps the MAC address.)
So essentially, the Airport Utility has to be kicked around a bit by the select a network menu. Odd I know. Hope this helps someone who's had similar problems.

Extreme (b/g/n) can't connect to the internet

my iMac has no problem seeing my airport extreme (b/g/n), but I can't connect to the internet.
I have tried soft / hard reset & factory reset as well, none of them worked. The extreme just keep flashing its amber light.
On my iMac, I have full signal bars, so recognizing the extreme is not a problem. The only thing I find strange is that the IP address (the one assigned by my ISP) is 0.0.0.1.
I tried connecting through an Ethernet cable and it didn't have any problem, so it's not my ISP. The only thing I can thing of is that the extreme somehow is having trouble recognizing that assigned IP and that's why I can't get connect to the internet.
Anyone suggestion? Is my extreme broken? If so, can it be fixed? Please help.

Problem solved!
Every time, I feel so stupid once I find out the answer to my problem.
Here it is from another post by 'dwbird':
"Solution: I found that the service name (optional on the setup) may be optional but if your service doesn't require it and you put a service name in the block it prevents the system from working, hence cannot find the PPoE Server and also cannot get an IP address assigned. Guess the moral of the story is that if it is not absolutely required don't fill in any "optional" blocks"
I deleted the name of my ISP and everything works just fine, the stupidest thing is that this is not the first time...
maybe Apple should consider putting a reminder/warning underneath this OPTIONAL service name field.

After 10.7.5 update, Bluetooth can't connect, help!

I'd been using a BT speaker (Logitech Boombox) with more or less reliable connectivty with my MacBook Air (2012) (my Android phone never has a problem connecting to speaker), but after updating to 10.7.5 now, I can't connect to any BT device! The MBA is paired to both devices (phone and speakers), but now won't connect to either. I've tried to re-pair the devices, I've tried the "update services" trick, my MBA is "discoverable", yet nothing works. It's not the speaker, as it connects fine with my Android phone. Losing my mind on this one, please help!

UPDATE, SOLVED?: Somehow, it has magically fixed itself...I literally have no idea how, as I have spent 2 hours messing with it, it just started to work again and list itself as connected. One idea is that perhaps the MBA wouldn't connect until it was "needed", i.e. until I tried to play something from ITunes? But I had tried that before with no luck, soooo. Another Idea is that I had my HDMI hooked up while playing around, and perhaps that would try and take the audio signal instead of letting it go into the BT?...It's a mystery but at the moment, it works, knock on wood.

Database error #2002 can not connect local mysql server to socket through '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'(2) on mac os x 10.9.2

Dear Fellas:

Please help!!

Fascinated and guessing:
Something related to sock(2) because that's not part of your copied info. I'm thinking you've doubled up on sockets and the second socket doesn't exist, meaning you should be connecting to the first socket "mysqld.sock" whether automatic or not.
I've only used GUI tools on purpose, so does this mean you've already got MySQL running and you tried to launch it again manually? Perhaps you already have one instance of a db and you're trying to launch a second instance, and the two can't coexist with a single user local db?
Assuming this is all local, I'd shut down the db service and restart it, out of hand. I've seen similar messages when I set the db to start up on boot, and it didn't finish shutting down when I tried to restart it manually. Usually the GUI won't let me turn it on because it reports it's already running, but in that case it hadn't finished performing what the GUI was reporting.
Just speculating.

Can't connect MacBook (Core 2 Duo) to AExpress "N" network

Hi folks,
I have a MacBook which connects happily to my home Airport Express wireless-G network. However, my parents have an Airport Express which is a year or two newer, and theirs is wireless-N. I have searched the discussion pages here for guidance on why I can't connect to their network. My MacBook sees the N network, I have the password, but it just won't connect. At first I thought my MacBook was not compatible with N, but these discussion pages seem to say that mine should have the capability. I found something about downloading a $2 "wireless N updater enabler" software from Apple, which I did, but it wouldn't install, perhaps because my OS is already up to date? (I think the enabler update was more for OS 10.4 users?)
I have confirmed that I have Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which is a prerequisite. I confirmed that I have a wireless b/g/n ready airport card on board (I think it was the Network Utility software which showed me that).
But I can't figure out what else I need to do in order to connect to the N network.
Grateful for any help. Thanks.
-- Josh

I had this problem with my MacBook connecting to my Linksys N Router. They had me change the wireless security from WPA to WPA 2 and now it connects as 802.11n. Speed still seems a bit slow as it only connects at 72 Mbit/s but it is better than the 54 Mbit/s it was connecting at before the change...

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this - do you mena connect to the Mac to access streaming media or perhaps you were wondering if the AppleTV can behave as a wireless extender to give network access to the PS3 - it can't.
If you are looking for media server solutions there are several available that run on Mac, some free some commercial.

4150L - Works on web, but can not connect via VPN or Remote Desktop

Recently purchased a 4150L and installed the latest firmware. We have been able to access all public websites without any problems. But, when we try and access our customers computers via VPN (various types) or Remote Desktop, we can't connect. We can sign-in to VPN, but when we try and access the computer, it says "can't connect". Exact same message with Remote Desktop. We are able to connet when use a Verizon phone as a hotspot and from every other internet service that we have tried (i.e. hotels, starbucks, etc.) It appears it is an issue with the 4150L.
Verizon Tech Support has been no help!
All ideas are appreciated!
Thanks,
Skip

Skip,
VPN traffic should be allowed through on the MiFi 4510L by default. I know I do not have any issues with mine on either the Cisco IPSec or Cisco SSL VPN Clients.
If Verizon DNS is interferring then perhaps you could try to connect to your VPN via a direct IP Address instead of a URL. Not sure what VPN client you have but there should be a No DNS option to connect if you know the correct IP. You could also try switching your DNS to one of the free ones such as the one offered by Google or any of the others.
VPN's carry alot of overhead on existing connections in my experience. Its not untypical to have a 3G connection cut in half when a VPN is applied. Try running a speed test to make sure your connection is atleast 1 MB on download before initiating a connection. If the performance of the MiFi is too poor in that area it may never be stable enough to support a connection. Feel free to post some Speedtest.net averages so we can see what you are working with.
Something to note about the MiFi 4510L is that it is on the SIM card network. That means that NAT is always going to be an issue and block your users from providing a truely public IP Address. Directly remoting to them through any means will be nearly impossible.

Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

Can I connect to the internet with an Ipad in Santo Domingo, DR while I'm on vacation?

Lots of hotels in the DR have WiFi. And there is plenty of cellular coverage in Santo Domingo (and elsewhere).
One thing to be careful of, the WiFi networks are usually not secured and are very vulnerable to people "listening" for passwords and user names, so don't do any financial transactions online and perhaps consider setting up some temporary passwords for the trip and changing them when you get home.

JDeveloper 10.1.3 BPEL plugin - can NOT connect to BPEL PM server

I can use the JDeveloper BPEL Designer 10.1.2.1.0 to create a simpel BPEL Process that I deploy to the BPELM PM with the following WSDL:
http://kmandrup-dk:9700/orabpel/default/BPELProcess1/1.0/BPELProcess1?wsdl
I can then use JDeveloper 10.1.3 to hook up to this WSDL
I would however prefer to use the BPEL plugin from within JDev 10.1.3 to create the BPEL process and deploy it directly. However I can't figure out how to establish a connection to the BPEL PM. Should I instead install a UDDI registry in my application server and then register the web service there? Seems like a "twisted" workaround!
In JDev 10.1.2 connections view, there is a node called BPEL Process Manager Server where one can create connections to BPELM PMSs
In Jdev 10.1.3 there is an App Server node and an Integration Server node, but the Integration Server node seems only able to refer to the App Server connections.
How does one achieve a direct BPEL PM Server connection in 10.1.3 similar to the effect of 10.1.2.
When I create a new BPEL Process Project I get an error, That the WSDL for the service created is not valid, due to being unable to acces a BPEL PMS :( What to do?
It also complains that it is unable to create the test suites :(
Is something missing in my BPEL plugin install perhaps???
Thanx in advance for any help!

Does the 10.1.3 J-Developer have the BPEL plugin in it? I didn't think this was avail. Unless you are on a beta version, I would bet you don't have the full deal like you think.

WRT54G V8 Can't connect to web based setup page?

Earlier I reset my router and was able to use 192.168.1.1 to visit the web based setup page while trying to re-establish a home network now that I have a new computer using Windows 7 which can not use the easylink advisor. I was able to get on the page to update my SSID and WEP key. But when my wireless devices were still having problems connecting to the internet I tried to go back to the page and found that I can't get it to connect, though my desktop is able to connect to other internet sites just fine.
Does anyone know what i can be doing wrong? I am using Verizon DSL. I was able to ping the router and all tests showed that it was connected fine, yet I still cannot get on the setup page and my laptop still can't connect to the network. I have tried resetting the router again, and still nothing. And yes, I have gone through numerous power cycles. I also tried going though the network map on my computer, but the computer says it was unable to create a map for it even though at the time I had it listed as a Home network.
Message Edited by TaiShan on 01-03-2010 07:06 PM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Wireless connections to 192.168.1.1 often fail. When accessing the router setup pages, always use a computer that is wired to the WRT54G.
If the above does not solve your problem, then here are my other tips for viewing the router setup pages:
You do not need an Internet connection. The router's "web pages" are built into the router.
Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
JavaScript must be enabled.
Use a computer that is wired to the router.
In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall.
Point your browser to 192.168.1.1 , then login to your router. Your user name should be left blank. Your password is "admin" (with no quotes), unless you changed it.
If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
Some Zone Alarm users have reported that adding 192.168.1.1 to their list of "trusted" addresses fixed the problem. This trick might also work with other firewalls.
If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker, and the Ad blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Point your browser to the "Default Gateway", then login to your router.
If the above fails, disconnect your modem from the router, and try again. If this corrects your problem, then most likely you have a "modem-router" rather than an ordinary modem. Report back with this problem, and also state the make and exact model number of your modem (not the router).
If all of the above fails, power down your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait one minute, then power up and try again.
If all of the above tips fail, then reset the router to factory defaults: Power down the router and disconnect all wires from it. Wait one minute. Power up the router, allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the router to reset and reboot ( 2-3 minutes). Power down router. Wait one minute. Connect one computer, by wire, to a LAN port on the router. Boot up system. The router should work, but you will need to setup your router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
If you still have trouble, then you need to download and install (or re-install) the latest firmware for your router. After the firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.

Can I connect my application to mssql server ?

Perhaps you could help the process along by being a little more specific. Is this an in-house application. Will it ever leave your local network? Or does it need to run over the internet? Regardless, the best option will likely be some type of REST web service that any client can use.

Federated Portal Network Blues - can not connect to WSRP producer

Hi,
I'd like to embed some JSR-168 portlets into my SAP EP but fail immediately when trying to add the WSRP content producer.
I have a setup of two portals, one is SAP EP 2004s (SP13) and the other a JBoss Portal v2.6.4. I'd like to share my JBoss portlets to SAP and vice-versa for evaluating the interoperability of SAP systems with the real world.
But alas, I'm struggling on the basic setup of my SAP EP...
Here is my problem:
When I configure a WSRP-producer it all seems to work right but I can not connect to it, e.g. I can not register and test the connection. The connection test fails because of :
Producer object was found
Could not retrieve the WSDL file; the handshake URL may not exist or may be invalid
The SAP systems runs behind no proxy at all, so this can't be the issue. When testing the same WSRP producer URL from JBoss portal it all works fine. The URL I used was a WSRP test site from Oracle, see [http://portalstandards.oracle.com/portletapp/portlets?WSDL].
Does anyone have a glue what might be missing on my SAP Portal? The standard log gives me no clues at all I've been tail minus effing the thing for hours...
The SAP documentation - SAP Library, various E-Learning things - couldn't solve the problem for me...
Thanks for your support!
regards,
Christian

Hi,
Unfortunately I do not have any experience with connecting to JBoss, but perhaps this document can help you analyzing your issue:
