Remote access via pppoe - mac add limitation

Hi,
We have a requirement to provide remote access for a number of individual customers. I plan on using pppoe for each of these customers as it will give us the ability to control each session individually and apply shaping etc if required.
There will be about 250 customers at the one location and we are using a thrid party supplier to run the connectivity into the site. I plan on dragging the pppoe sessions back to our network rather than terminating them onsite.
The main issue I have is that the supplier who is running the connectivity into the site for us has a mac address limit of 50.
My question is - is there any way in which I can still bring the pppoe session back to our network while still remaining under the 50 mac address limit?
I thought perhaps mpls might be the way to go here, but, I'm not too sure. We're running mosly Cisco 7200's so we might be limited in the options available...
Can any please advise on what might be a suitable option?
Thanks,
Jonathan

I don't think PPPoE is a good idea. It introduces a lot of additional requirements, devices, additional client configuration, all complications that are easily avoided with a normal technology, eg. IP routing, GRE (only if necessary), etc.

Remote access via ftp

Hi.
I am trying to set up remote access to my mac so I can upload files to it remotely from a PC. I want the simplest free solution as I simply want occasional access to back up files from my work PC to my home mac. I have got 90% of the way, but fallen at the final hurdle.
I am using OSX Leopard 10.5.8 and a Linksys WRT54G wireless router
I am trying to access my imac via ftp as this appears to be the simplest route. So far I have done the following:
(a) Followed the advice in "Mac OSX Missing Manual" and portforwarding.com: i.e. ...
(b) Set up a static IP address on my mac through system preferences. This is working as I can access the internet fine.
(c) Turned off "Block anonymous internet requests" in the router settings
(d) Set up port forwarding of port 21 using the static IP address I have set up
(e) In system preferences, turned on file sharing using ftp
(f) Tested access using Safari - typed in my local static IP address as specified in the file sharing ftp box in the sharing section of system preferences. I logged in with my main account log in info. This worked - I immediately got a finder window pop up with my folders visible. The ftp server was also mounted on my desktop.
(g) Tested access using Safari via my public IP address. This was much slower. I eventually got the login box, but when I entered the same main account login info I eventually got an error message saying password / username were incorrect. They weren't, as I have tried this several times. (I don't have access to a PC on another network to test that way.)
Very grateful for any help.
Thanks

I am not sure which type of FTP Apple uses but this will give you the differences the in firewall policy for active and passive. http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html you will need to set the firewall accordingly.
You may also have problems with the firewall in use at work, it depends on how its been locked down.
It depends on how much time you have to spend on the problem. There are free remote control applications that include file transfer, have a look at this site http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx , there is a free version available but I have not used this software. There are other similar products some free, some cost.
If you cannot get any answers to your question at least there are other esiaer options open to you.

How does one set up remote access via the internet to access files stored on the Time Capsule using airport utility 6.1

I was just wondering if anyone can provide me with instructions please on how to set up remote access via the internet to the time capsule when away from home?
I am running OS X Mountain Lion operating system and have Airport Utility 6.1.
Many thanks to you all for your help.

I think the instructions should be all in BTMM with iCloud.
Instructions are all there.

Remote access via internet

Have an Vitek DVR with several cameras and after correctly configuring port forwarding on the router and input the IP to the DVR, I am able to view the camera pictures without any problems on the MacBook Pro. However, being able to view the camera results from the IPHONE via remote access, through Safari, requires an APP. Having tried the VITEK DVRViewer app, and half a dozen other apps, I am unable to connect via the iphone. I contacted VITEK and was informed that they are aware of the problem, which they say is due from the IOS6 update, an updated app was submitted to Apple for approval, which would solve the issue.
I have found many hits on the YouTube with the same issues. Does anyone know of a solution, or if they were told by VITEK of the same solution?
Thank you

This would not seem to be an issue with Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs and the topic of this forum. I'd suggest you take this up in the iPhone forum, where you'll be more likely to encounter someone attempting to run the same app and hence provide suggestions.
Regards.

Help For Remote Access Via VPN

Need Help
what cisco product or router specification or model can we use for VPN connection in our remote site via Internet Connection
thanks Godbless

There are several options here, but more information is probably needed to give a good recommendation.
1. What type of VPN? A site to site VPN that stays up, or remote VPN that is more on demand?
2. What type of Internet access to have at your remote site?
3. Are you going to also use this as a gateway to the Internet or will this device sit to the side or behind your gateway?
My first inclination is that if you just need occasional remote access to your remote site for support issues check out the ASA 5505. Depending on where you will place it and what amount of user traffic will flow through it, you may be able to get by with just a base license and use IPSec remote VPN.

Remote access to non mac e-mail account

My office is based in UK where I have a dual processor 1.8 G5. I use a 12" G4 laptop to pick up e-mails when travelling abroad. Currently, the only method that my ISP offers is a dial up account using a UK number that gets very expensive due to the number and size of the associated e-mail attachments. I understand there is a PC programme that allows a secure connection to the office PC through the internet hence giving access to my e-mails. However, my local Apple store cannot help with a MAC equivalent. From what I was told, Remote Desktop 3 does not seem to offer this facility. Neither can my ISP help as their webmail system only allows me to read certain size attachments and is very cumbersome to use.
Can anyone help?

Well, one possibility is to enable Remote Access on your dp 1.8 G5, install X11 on your G4 laptop and Thunderbird on your dp 1.8 G5. Then you can use Thunderbird (running on your dp 1.8 G5) to read your email; from your laptop, start X11, and in the default xterm window do ssh -X <your dp 1.8 G5's IP-address or hostname>; after logging in, run Thunderbird. ssh will route the X11 requests from the Thunderbird client over its secure connection to your laptop's X11 server.

Remote access my office mac from my home mac

I know this is not the right forum for this, but I am not sure which one is and so I am asking this question here in the hopes that someone will direct me to the right place.
If I want to access my office mac from home, what program do I need to use? (Apple Remote Desktop?) Where can I find detailed instructions?
Other pertinent details:
I have a PB at home and one at the office, both running OSX.3.
Both are on a wireless network.
Office is behind a firewall.
Because both computers are on a wireless network, their IP addresses are of the form 10.0.1.xxx. Turning on File sharing on the office computer and then doing "ssh [email protected].....etc. does not seem to work.
Ideally I want to be able to remotely run programs on the office computer. I know this ability exists for Windows XP (and my colleagues use it), so it MUST exist for Macs.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
NS

ns,
Apple Remote Desktop and Timbuktu Pro are worthy programs; you can achieve the same effects with free VNC (virtual network connection) software. Essentially, you set one Mac up as a VNC server, the other as a VNC client, and connect the client to the server. Check Version Tracker and/or MacUpdate for such freeware as VNCThing (OS 9 client), OSXvnc (OS X server), and Chicken of the VNC (OS X client).
The firewall will require you to set up port forwarding. I've actually found the FAQ and help info at the site for the Windows program UltraVNC along with PortForward more than enough to figure how to set up a VNC link to a Windows PC in my wife's office that could be accessed by either my office Mac (before turning on the link encryption) or her home PC. Adding / using SSH is somewhat more complicated and outside of my firsthand experience, but there are references at e.g. SSH VNC Tunneling (try Googling "SSH VNC Mac"). See for example:
Homemade Dot-Mac: Remote Control
MacMod - Your Mac Modding HQ
VNC Sessions From Off-Campus
Note that if you have the usual dynamic IP account at home and a static IP at work, it will be easier to set up the work computer as the server since the IP number will be a fixed address. If both computers are on dynamic IP accounts, the server's IP number will have to be checked locally before connecting remotely (one reason ISPs can charge extra for static IP accounts).

Remote access via base station

I am thinking of buying a new base station, but for one purpose only if anyone can help me. I would like to access media files on an attached hard drive to the base station remotely over the internet. I have a router/ modem, which can do this if I open a port but I would rather have a ringfenced base station attached to it that I could access from abroad etc.
Is it possible to open a port on the base station to allow password protected internet traffic to access files like .m4v on an attached hard drive ? If so how can this be set up without allowing access to my home computers as well?
I would be grateful for any assistance.
thanks
thank you

There are three available methods to access a connected disk. LAN acces (internal) is the default and what you'd use for TC as well as just a remote fileshare/NAS. You can choose password level access for the disk or setup individual accounts which is neat as it creates "home" folders for each user if you chose that option.
WAN (Internet/outside your LAN or home private network) is another and you would setup password access to the disk. Not sure if you would need a static ip or setup a dyndns type service so you'd knowyou homerouter's address.
The most secure and easily accessed from over Internet (and third available option) is to setup your MobileMe account in the AirPort Extreme's profile and MM will manage "finding" your home network and it's connection uses IPv6 which has built in encryption layer/tunnel.
Since I've not tried the WAN option I'm looking to see how to remotely access from a PC as well. I think WAN will natively support just the same way the LAN does.

Remote Access Via Dial/PSTN - Options Now PVDM's are EOSale'd

I have a number of very remote sites that cost-effectively only PSTN can be provisioned to for land-line comms,
these dial land lines providing back-up to low-bandwidth satellite comms services.
With the end-of-sale of the PVDM modules for routers, i see dial/PSTN remote access functionality
that Cisco offered with the these as now completely unavailable in the whole Cisco product set. Is there any
dial/PSTN Remote Access concentrator functionality hidden away in any of the Cisco products, or is it truly
Cisco cannot supply a device to service my dial requirements ?? Alternatives ??
thnks
Martyn

I've no definitive replacement solution as yet.
Most promising kit so far to replace cisco PVDM functions is remanufactured Portmaster PM3.
All the major vendors seem to have pulled out of dial.
Other than than we may have to run point to point radio to these locations
Sat comms also maybe an option open to u

Time Capsule remote access via mobile me

Hi there,
i heard it would be possible to connect to my time capsule even if i am not in my network (at home, in other cities etc) via mobile me service, has anybody experience with this?
I am using mobile me in the trial/test version. Are there more options in the full version?
I need to share data with colleagues in other cities but couldn't find a way to do this so far.
First I tried out a ready nas duo from netgear, a terrible desaster i would not consider to anybody.
Does apple offer any solution without spending more than 500 euro?

This is what I know(and it works) so far.
Using Mobile Me, you must have a Mac to access your TC remotely.
Also, I had to get static IP address(on TC side) to get this to work. I was having trouble using the dynamic address assigned by my ISP. If you get an error message regarding double NAT, chances are you'll need to get a static IP address like I did.
If you get an error message regarding NAT Port Mapping Protocol or UPnP, see 1a. below.
1. On TC, in manual setup, enter your MM username and password in Back to my Mac.
1a. Make sure that you enable NAT Port Mapping Protocol.
2. On your mac, enter your MM username and passeord.
2a. Also, enable Back to my Mac.
2b. Keep an eye out for any error messages.
I hope it helps.

Remote access via internet to another macbook

I would like to access my moms computer when she needs help sometimes via the internet. We both have Macbooks and high speed internet. Before I move away I can install whatever is necessary on her computer. Then if she has computer problems (as she often does) I can go onto her computer to sort it out. (Obviously, I will have to phone her to tell her to open up the computer). Is this a really involved thing that I am asking? I don't really know where to start. I have heard of remote desktop but after reviewing it, it sounds like it is much more than what I am looking for. Any info to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

So why is system prefs saying, "To log in to this computer remotely, type "ssh [email protected]" at a shell command prompt."
Is it just because it doesn't know its behind the router?
I have tried telling finder to connect to server; vnc://65.95.40.34 and it just times out.
I have also tried setting Chicken of the VNC to;
HOST: 65.95.40.34
Display: 0
Password: (password that I set for login on her computer)
This just times out eventually.
I have also tried terminal both ways:
"ssh [email protected]" and
"ssh [email protected]"
and it tells me "ssh: connect to host 65.95.40.34 port 22: Operation timed out"
It take a minute or two using any of these methods before it tells me that its timed out.
I have made sure that she has her computer opened up and turned on of course and the settings so it will wake if admin accesses remotely.
Any ideas as to why this wouldn't work?
Thanks for all the info.

Mac Mini Server - Best Way to Enable Multiple Users to Connect via Remote Access Concurrently?

Hi
Is there a limit on the number of users that can connect simultaneously via remote access to a Mac Mini running Mac Mini Server?

If you have the server application on your Mac mini there is an upper limit but it is so high that I wouldn't worry about it. Depending on how you will be using the server and what it will be supporting there is a practical limit based on performance not software. If you reach the limit of satisfactory performance, the solution is adding another Mac mini server.

Excel Add-in and Remote Access?

Any suggestions other than VPN or Citrix?We are currently using VPN for remote access with the Excel Add-In. Although this is working, ideally I would like my users to not have to have that additional layer. Plus I would rather not have to support the VPN for the users either.Anyone suggest any other alternative to VPN or Citrix that provides secure access? (VPN is giving us encrypted data transfer, alternatives would have to as well)Anyone know what ports need to be open on our essbase servers if we get published IP address for these servers?

If the users are to log in using the spreadsheet add in, they will need to have connectivity to that server, but opening up the ports to the outside may not be a good idea. However, the DBA guide documents the listening port for Essbase (1423) plus the range of ports that must be opened ot allow clients to connect.For situations I have encountered, allowing users to have access via VPN is the easiest approach, but I'm not a networking expert, so I can't really say what level of risk that exposes your network to.Another alternative could be to look at Essbase Spreadsheet Services, which uses Essbase Enterprise Services to give users the add-in over HTTP. This layer can be secured using HTTPS as well. I'm not sure about the licensing costs of this product.Regards,Jade----------------------------------Jade ColeSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity [email protected]

How to remote access a pc from a mac using dyndns?

Hi
I am wanting to use my Mac to remotely log into my home pc (windows) I use to us windows remote access from my old laptop using a dyndns. But now having a mac I don't know how to access it. I tried the Microsoft remote access app for mac but couldn't get it to work? I don't understand the settings this required and couldn't find instructions online for setting it up
Thanks in advance

Yes this is possible. Use the Windows XP "remote desktop" feature, and the "Remote Desktop Connection Client" for MacOS X provided by Microsoft.
You can also use the free versions of VNC, which also allows cross-platform desktop remote control. See http://old.realvnc.com/support-free.html
