RealPlayer says I Need to Open a Port For Chat to Work, Am I doing it Right
I have live feeds for CBS's Big Brother. I'm trying to get on their Chat and I get a Java IOException error, cannot connect to server, etc.
RealPlayer is insisting I have to open port 21 and/or 6667 in my router (AEBS).
I entered 21, 6667 in all 4 port fields. Under Private IP address, I put my computer's number. Under "service". I didn't touch that.
Am I doing this right? Cuz it's still not working for me. I know other Leopard users are able to get into this chat and I think it has something to do with my AEBS. I even loaded the developer version of the latest Java to no avail.
Suggestions?
Your firewall is off. That's good for now. Make sure that you Enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol in Internet/Internet Connections/NAT tab. Also, do you have a static IP on your machine? Or are you getting your IP via DHCP. This info is in the OS System preferences/Network/Advanced? tab. Then click on the TCP/IP settings.To get the ports forwarded correctly you'll need to set a static IP (manual) on your machine. But you'd think in all their wisdom that Real would have NAT enabled chat. Meaning, you should get out with DHCP and NAT enabled. No forwards needed.
Setting a static IP on your machine is relatively easy but affects other things on your network and you have to do a bit of planning to set it up.
In a nutshell:
Set up an IP address on your machine outside the scope of IP's being distributed by your router.
Map a port that resolves to that specific port.
I think you did it right above but didn't possibly have a static ip to resolve to.
Hopefully I am not confusing you with all this.

H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package. -
Wireless CCTV - need to open a port
Hi All;
I have a wireless monitoring system (CCTV) for my home that can be accessed remotely though my IPhone or IPad when I am away.
It works great while I am at home on my wireless network but I cannot get access when on a remote Wi-Fi.
Apple Store here says I need to open a port in my Time Capsule to allow access when I am outside my network.
Anyone have instructions or can step by step it for me?
Thanks in Advance.
MarkThanks for the reply William;
I actually contacted the manufacturer and they sent me a step by step instruction including, as you suggested the ports that the cameras use.
Once we get through this Christmas season ... will get it all set up.
Thanks again

Opening a port issue: I Need to open a port in an airport extreme.
I Need to open a port in an airport extreme, but I'm connected through an airport express in bridge mode. I need to access a specific computer inside my network through that port to be able to use it as a server. I can't seem to find the correct way to set everything up. I've tried opening the port and everytime I check it through telnet or any open check tool on the net it keeps saying the port is closed. I'm stumped.
After digging around it looks like Snow Leopard doesn't use ipfw for opening ports.
Does anyone know how to open ports in Snow Leopard? Apple don't seem to have any info on this - besides the allow incoming connections for certain applications.
Will try WaterRoof and see what happens.
Cheers

Opening specific ports for video
Hi!
I want to open some ports for one specific host on the inside network. I want the host to be able to call out to any host on the internet. What is the easiest way to do this?
I have many public IP adresses so the inside host can easily be Natted with one of the public adresses.
/Lajja1234Easiest way,
Do a one to one translation and open the right ports on the Outside ACL..
Just like 5 commands and that will do it -
I have a iMAC(got it in less than 2 months ago), can I change the memory(upgrade it from 4 GB to 8GB) myself? I mean I need to open the screws and exchange the memory chips. Does it cancel the guarantee?
No, unless you break something or install the wrong RAM, new RAM is not covered by warranty/AppleCare of course.

iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
For a standard iTunes account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and app updates.
What is making it think that you own money for an app upgrade? -
Does the iPhone 4s need a data plan inorder for "siri" to work or can you just use your local wifi?
Does the iPhone 4s need a data plan inorder for "siri" to work or can you just use your local wifi?
It can use both in all the commercials they are using wifi im trying to find out just how much Siri depends on data but so far I think it mainly uses it to pull info up and for some reason to dictate email but it does work on carrier data I guess it's just slower so you don't neccersarily need a data plan in place or have to dig into it to use Siri If you have wifi close by

I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with. I know that in Windows, there is an "Uninstall" option, but I have found no such option on the Macbook.
This is one OS X's few weak spots. For most software, it is sufficient to drag the application out of the Applications folder and into the trash. Of course, this does not delete its preference files, etc, but these are usually pretty small, and can either be left in place or deleted separately.
Some software might ship with a separate uninstaller utility that you can run. Sometimes, the package installer can also perform uninstalling, too.
You can buy general purpose uninstaller utilities, but as far as I know they won't work for software already installed; only for software installed once the uninstaller is in place.
Perhaps the safest option is to contact the company that made the game and ask them how it should be uninstalled.

Please help, I need to open a port...
Hello all,
I am a newbie to Solaris, I have the need to open port #36678 on a server running Solaris 8. I am sure it is simple but just do not know where to start, I have ran a netstat -a and it is not listening now.
Thank you in advance.Hello all,
I am a newbie to Solaris, I have the need to open
port #36678 on a server running Solaris 8. I am sure
it is simple but just do not know where to start, I
have ran a netstat -a and it is not listening now.Administrators do not open ports on a machine. Applications open ports as they run.
So you would launch a program, and it would try to use the port.
Presumably you have some such program in mind?

I have a 2T apple time capsule and router. I bought a Hauppauge Win TV extender which allows TV to be broadcasted on a PC. The program allows for the TV to be streamed on a Mac, Iphone, Ipad. I need to access the router set up options to open a port on the router to allow this program to stream the TV to the Mac and Iphone. I do not know how to access the apple time capsule router to change the settings to open a port on the router. help please.
Firstly you do not need to open ports to stream locally.. there is no port block in local LAN.. only WAN to LAN. So there is a good chance it is not needed at all..
Opening ports on the TC I strongly recommend a v5 airport utility.. you can download one for windows if you don't have a Mac.. iOS version of the utility I am not sure but it will not work to do complex things.
In the v5 utility go to the NAT area, and click on port mappings.
Sorry I don't have a screen shot at the moment of the actual mapping page.. but simply put the IP of the device you want opened and the port.
There are plenty of posts with this info if you google.
But as noted.. this is purely WAN to LAN.. nothing else.
