Problems accessing internet through parallels desktop on Mac OS Leopard

I have recently installed parallels desktop on my Mac OS Leopard. I work for an organisation that requires us to use the Novell Services software, in order to access internet, shared folders Groupwise email etc.
The good news is that I have access to the server, hence the software works on the mac via windows XP, and I can use the Groupwise email. however, I cannot seem to access the internet using either firefox or explorer browsers. I have looked at the connections settings, security settings etc,. and no joy.
Has anyone had similar problems or suggest ideas on how i can solve the problem...
Its a nightmare having to use windows on the Mac, but its my only way so i can access the internet and email...
many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Problems with accessing Internet through router (permanent IP)

Hi.
I changed hostname with sys-unconfig. Now computer has permanent IP address (non DHCP) and right hostname.
Before this change I had access to Internet (hostname: "unknown" and DHCP).
My computers access Internet through router.
There is ping from my computer to router and another computer. Also other computer pings my computer.
In DHCP tables my computer does not exist.
I created file /etc/defaultrouter with IP of my router.
Trying to access Internet, web browser (Mozilla) writes: "<site.com> could not be found. Please check name and try afain."
I think there is a problem with DNS.
How to configure my computer on Solaris 10 to access the Internet with current configuration?
Thank you.

To test DNS services without a browser (ie, to see if the
system can be a DNS client), first use the command
'nslookup'
# /usr/sbin/nslookup sun.com
Server: miki-class-gla.eclecticgroup.co.uk
Address: 10.23.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: sun.com
Address: 72.5.124.61
# /usr/sbin/nslookup google.com
Server: miki-class-gla.eclecticgroup.co.uk
Address: 10.23.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: google.com
Addresses: 64.233.167.99, 64.233.187.99, 72.14.207.99
If this doesn't work, then your system isn't talking to a
DNS server at all at all, so you need to check the contents
of /etc/resolv.conf.
If it does work, use the command 'getent' to check that your
system as a whole is querying DNS for name-IP resolution.
EG.
# getent hosts sun.com
72.5.124.61 sun.com
# getent hosts google.com
64.233.187.99 google.com
72.14.207.99 google.com
64.233.167.99 google.com
If you don't get back IP addresses, your system isn't
correctly configured as a DNS client.
Look at /etc/nsswitch.conf, and find the line
that starts 'hosts'.
If it says
hosts files
then the system is not a DNS client.
To correct this, edit that line to add the word dns on the end:
hosts files dns
That's it. No need to reboot.

I have connected an AirPlay enabled device to iphone4s. I started palying songs. I was able to access internet through 3G from iphone.After few seconds 3G symbol disappears and WiFi symbol appears. After that I'm not able to access internet. Why is it so?

SMS. Deggie, had them check that. After a lengthy discussion with Senior Tech advisor, it appears it is iMessage/Face Time server (they are the same) issue, which will strong arm those into purchasing Data if they use iMessage over multiple devices, as the server registers the phone number associated with apple ID. Not impressed. I put what I've learned here in a simliar thread
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17416082#17416082
and this is what I've put in apple.com/feedback
"iMessage requires internet. SMS does not. iMessage/FaceTime auto logs phone numbers to the iMessage/Facetime server (it's the same server as I've come to learn), this means that when iMessage/Face Time is turned on anyone sending a message through the server to me will only be sent as an iMessage- not when I'm not connected to internet, meaning I will not receive the message as an SMS by default, when I have another device using iMessage (such as MacBook) logged in.
This feature is a problem for me, bottom line, in that iMessage strong arms the consumer (me) into having to buy a data plan that they either do not want, or do not need."

Equium A100-027 PSAAQ - having problems accessing Internet with WLan

Just installed WXP on my Equium A100-027 (PSAAQ) as Vista did not like. Now am having problems accessing Internet. What drivers do I need to download and how do I install them?
Thanks.

Hi,
I would suggest you to check the driver site of toshiba
-> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
search for your machine and download the wlan drivers. If you dont know which one you need just download all of them and install em, one of that drivers MUST work. ;)

Try switching the keyboard layout in XP to other countries. Maybe US from UK.

Parallels Desktop for Mac

I am purchasing a new Mac-Mini and want to run Parallels Desktop for Mac. I previously was using Virual PC for the Mac. Does anyone know whether I can use the windows professional onthe Virual disk to load windows in the Parallel program?

The short answer is technically yes, but not easily (depending on your threshold of "easily") and more headache than it may be worth. Check out the following threads (one from the Parallels support forums, the other from elsewhere in Apple Discussions that offer input and a solution. For the steps in the post in Apple Discussions you do need a copy of Windows running somewhere for this to work.
Thread from Parallels
Thread from Apple Discussions
Also - although doing this is technically possible, I'm not sure you wouldn't be in violation of the Virtual PC EULA in doing so.

Windows XP Professional using AirPort in MacBook through Parallels Desktop

I'm trying to convince my wife to buy her first Mac computer, but she needs to use one particular Windows application (health-related hospital work) that exchanges data over the internet, so the apparent solution would be to also buy Parallels Desktop. My question is: Will Windows XP Professional running in Parallels Desktop be able to access the internet through a wireless network by using the AirPort card in a MacBook? Please answer to: [email protected] (thanks).

I will answer here, as it helps everyone.
I can say that parallels works great wirelessly.
My wife is going back for her Masters, and one of her classes had a windows only app.
loaded in parallels, and all worked great.
I would recommend installing 2 gigs of ram though. (running both OS's + apps does need the additional memory.
(ps - I am using a Linksys router)

How can we allow internal users to access internet through ASA firewall?

Hello,
I am new to security track, i have been asked to setup lab and allow users from inside firewall to access internet. here is my lab setup
PC -> switch 1 (layer2) -> (inside) ASA (outside) -> switch 2 (Layer2) -> Router
does switch 2 port needs internet access through router?
what configuration required on ASA to allow users behind the firewall to access internet?
any help on this would be much appreciated.
thanks,

Hi,
Okay , can you clarify on this for me. Are you able to ping the internet from the ASA outside interface ?
Just try something like this:-
ping 4.2.2.2 .. Does this work ?
If this does not work , then i think the ASA even is not able to get to the internet and that would be a problem on the router.
Also , internet from Switch 2 is not a requirement as that is only a Layer 2 device.
You can assign the ISP allocated address on the PC , connect it to the Switch 2 port and then try to ping something on the internet or surf internet and i think that should work.
Thanks and Regards,

Using USB Device through Parallels Desktop / CIT200 Skype Phone

Hi. I have the Linksys CIT200 cordless phone that I use with Skype. I am a recent convert from PC and this is my first mac. I have Parallels desktop installed and everything in that seems to work fine.
When I plugin the CIT200 base station, it does not give me the popup that says "Would you like to use this device in Windows XP....." Also, in System Profiler, I do not see the CIT200 device even recognized. It is getting power because it powers up...
How can I get my mac to recognize this USB device, and then give Windows control of it through Parallels?

No, not at all.
The application works just fine. I mean a wireless handset (basically, a telephone that connects to the computer via a USB docking station. Much like the one I linked to in the original post, although hopefully one that actually works with the OS 10.6.
Without the "skype phone" you have to physically sit down at your computer to make a skype call. With the handset, you can walk around the house while on a skype call. You can also both initiate and receive calls from the handset while not physically at your computer (so long as the skype application is running and you are within range, usually 100-300 feet).

Problem with Java in Parallels Desktop...what do you think?

Hi folks...
2 days ago,i bought a Macbook pro 13" and i've installed Parallels Desktop for working on(Windows XP service pack3)...
i guess the problem is Java..
i use Business Objects XI program....(a tool for reporting....)
To works,it's needs java 1.4.2_04 version... i've installed it on parallels...but something is wrong...
sometimes the monitor turn off, and turn on... sometimes all mac goes in lock... and i have to push the power button to shut down.
Is possible there is some conflict about java 1.4.2_04 version on the virtual machine and the java 1.6 on the MAC OS?
many thanks!!!!

Many thanks ds store!!!
i saw a lot of people to read this post.....
i resolved it in this way...
i tried to dowloading another kind of Virtual machine... (VirtualBox made by Oracle and it's free!!!! )
i installed Business objects on it...and it's works correctly...
i compared both virtual machines Parallels (90 Euro) and VirtualBox (free)
and there were 2 different things...
1: in Parallels there was video memory at 256 Mb, and i change it in 128 (like in virtual box)
2: (i think the real motivation)
in Parallels there was a flag on "3D acceleration", and a flag on "Vertical synchronization"
i de-flagget it!!!!! and now Parallels works!!!!!
maybe this one could be useful to someone!!!
anyway...manythanks!!!!
PS. the MAC world's is AMAZING!!!!!!!

Routing and Remote access - internal network not accessing internet through public network!

Hello,
Good Evening to all.
I got an issue in routing and remote access on windows 2003 server. This server is already configured as File server, domain server and Application server. Also configured as router (through routing & remote access) for connecting three different
network to each other. So This server has three NIC card installed and each NIC card represent separate network.
three different network are - 192.42.160.0/24 , 192.42.161.0/24, 192.42.162.0/24
Three NIC card installed on server as with following IP address -
NIC -1 = 192.42.160.220 , Sub- 255.255.255.0 , Gateway - NO
NIC -2 = 192.42.161.220 , Sub- 255.255.255.0 , Gateway - 192.161.220.112 (This ip for internet access so 4g router IP)
NIC -3 = 192.42.162.220, , Sub- 255.255.255.0 , Gateway - NO
Now the issue is I can reach to internet & (also pinging to router ip 192.42.161.112) from only one network that is - 192.42.161.0/24 , BUT when I trying to access internet from another two network (192.42.160.0/24 & 192.42.162.0/24) I cant access
it and moreover can't ping to internet router ip - 192.42.161.112...
So how I can access to internet from other two network also?
I was already configured static routing for all three network but still I was not success. really I don't know what exactly static routing it should be done in routing & remote access so that all three network can reach to internet?
Sorry if I am not able to explain properly. Please let me know if you need more explain on this...
Thanks to all.

Dear Milos,
I am happy to hear from you....
1.- Actually the setup was done long before by another guy and right now I don't want to change it.
Nice to hear from you! Thank you so much. Actually this is first time I am using technet forum upon the suggestion from one of the my friend. So any your help from you will help me a great in this issue...
I ran the route print command and given follow are the results.
I have only added the default route as per the below routes. Please guide me know how to add other static routes for three network.

Multi devlepers to work through remote desktop on mac power?

Hello.
is it possible 2~3 devlepers to develop the iPhone application through remote desktop on a mac power?
if it is possible, please let me know the way.
thanks

Hi,
A connection was forcibly closed by a peer. This normally results from a loss of the connection on the remote socket due to a timeout or a restart. On a datastream socket, the
connection was reset. This reset could be generated locally by the network system when it detects a connection failure, or it might be received from the remote host (in TCP terms, the remote host sent an RST packet). This error is also possible on a datagram
socket; for instance, this error could result if your application sends a UDP datagram to a host, which rejects it by responding with an ICMP Port Unreachable.
Please check the following:
1. Ping the remote host you were connected to. If it does respond, this problem might have been a transient one (so you can reconnect now), or the server application you were
connected to might have terminated (so you might not be able to connect again).
2. Type tracert at the command prompt to determine the path to the host you were connected to. This won't reveal too much unless you know the router addresses at the remote end,
but it might help to identify if the problem is somewhere along the way.
3. Check if there is any related error log in the server side.
Thanks.

Problem accessing internet using time capsule after update to mountain lion

After updating my macbook air to moutain lion i am having some trouble accessing internet.
Evertytime i re-start my mac or airport utility i am able to access internet properly. After sometime when i access some particular sites, internet access goes down and i need to restart time capsule to access internet again.
Even though in airport utility internet is marked as disconnected, time capsule's indicator is still glowing green colour.
I tried deleting the com.apple.timemachine.plist file from /Library/Preferences/, but still no luck.
Is anybody else also facing the same problem? How can i resolve this problem?

Is the time capsule the only router in the network?
Try setting the lease time in the TC to very short value.. 20min or even less, 10min. It will not add signficant network traffic but might keep the Air updated to the TC.
I would also use SMB compatible name for the TC as well as wireless.. ie short, no spaces.. pure alphanumeric.
Set a different name for 5ghz so it cannot swap around.
And lock the wireless channels. Try each channel in turn, to see if any are better.
