Remotedesktop connection for mac

Hi there,
I frequently used RDV (Remote Desktop Connection for Mac) to access my old PC with Windows XP over my WLAN network and via cable over LAN from my mac book pro.
Now i bought a mac mini (latest) and installed Win7 with bootcamp. I need to access it remotely from my mac book pro so i tried Remote Desktop Connection. It works over my local WLAN network, BUT it dosn't work over LAN.
Which are the correct settings to use a LAN cable and the RDV that it works properly?
mac book pro with OSX ---- LAN cable ---- mac mini with win7 (bootcamp)
Thanks for your help!
Andy

Yeah I'm aware of this fact. It seems to me that you don't have that much experience with networks.
The IP address I mentioned was the IPv4, I set manually to 10.0.0.1 /255 255 255 0 on one computer, and to 10.0.0.2 on the other. The sub net has to be the same that they are able to to talk to each other.
I also found the error, then when i send a ping, the computers were connected. So my other guess was, that it could be a firewall problem, and indeed it was. I allowed the remote desktop for everyone in the firewall settings and now MS RDC is able to connect over LAN to the mac mini.

  • Remote Desktop Connection for Mac - connection lost after a minute idle

    Hi There,
    I am trying to connect from a Macbook Pro to my work (XP) machine using the latest Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.
    It used to work fine, and recently it has been dropping the connection if I've not been 'active' for a minute or so.
    What is confusing is that it is not always like this. Some days, I can leave it inactive for hours over lunch etc, and I'll come back and it will be fine. And just the other day, in the morning it dropped me out ever minute or so I was inactive, and then the afternoon was fine, and the evening was troublsome again.
    Our administrators had not changed anything during that time, nor had I changed anything on my XP machine at work, or my Mac at home.
    I connect via a wireless connection.
    These problems occur when running on battery and when plugged in.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,

    Since RDC is not an Apple product, you should post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac version of RDC:

  • Time capsule - use as wi-fi connection for mac pro to the internet

    hello
    i recently purchased a mac pro 2.8/ 2Gb/ 320 HD
    it did not come with a wireless card.
    today i bought a time capsule and want to use it to connect my mac to my wireless internet connection from my modem (dsl) via the time capsule. i have connected the time capsule to my mac via ethernet.
    the internet is not working. can anybody help me please?
    i have managed to get the ethernet connected and active.
    when i look at "network diagnostics" ethernet is green, network settings is green and isp is green. but internet is red (failed) and service is red.
    please help

    i will have to use an ethernet cable between the modem and the TC, right?
    Yes. It sounds like your modem is actually a combination modem & wireless router instead. Unfortunately, creating a WDS between this device and the TC will be unlikely successful ... so the only alternative (without buying anything else) would be to connect the TC to the modem via Ethernet.
    this is frustrating as the apple store i bought the TC from in Osaka, Japan, would not sell me an airport card to install myself.
    I believe this is because the AirPort card for your model of Mac Pro is not considered a User-installable item by Apple. I'm surprised they didn't offer to do the install for you.
    then, as a solution said that i could use the TC to do what i described above.
    Although they were partially correct that it can be done with the TC, it appears that they didn't provide the complete picture on how to do it.

  • HP laserjet P1100 wireless connection for mac

    Hoping for a quick response.... I have a Mac with 10.8.5 and I have purchased an HP Laserjet P1100 wireless printer. I have tried installing the drivers to print wireless...ly with no success. I have taken time out to type this message because I have not been able to find someone who has had  the same issue in the internet. I need a walk thru because there are many steps where the issue may be occuring. Your written installation documentation conflicts with your User Guide PDF file. Cord or no cord during driver installation for wireless connection???  Was lost after #5 page 18 on the User Guide PDF file.
    I figured it out. Your directions are misleading and not up to date. Cord is not an issue but needed for entire install process. At one point I'm in my system prefs then I'm on my web browser where I  found Bonjour which added the network to my printer choices so now I can print wirelessly... hopefully I don't have to do that again because I'm not sure of the steps I took. Fairly complex set up.

    Hey @matt4,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that you have a Mac OS X 10.8.5 and a new HP Laserjet P1100 series printer and are looking for quick and easy wireless configuration steps. I just have one question for you:
    Do you have a P1100 or a P1102w?
    What's my Model Number?
    I'm going to assume that you have a Laserjet P1102w. The steps for wireless configuration of a Laserjet P1102w are a bit confusing on Mac OS X 10.8 as you need to use the generic Apple Airprint driver because there is no 'Full Feature Software and Driver' installation for that Operating System. In saying that, I will try my best to give you easy steps to reference should you need to configure your printer again on the wireless network.
    How to Connect the Printer to the Network:
    Step 1: Install the Generic Mac Printer Driver:
    1. Turn your printer on
    2. Plug your USB cable from the printer directly into your Mac
    3. Click on the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences
    4. Click Print & Scan and make sure your printer is in the list of available devices.
    5. If your printer is not listed, click the plus () sign at the bottom left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add.
    Step 2: Connect the Printer to the Wireless Network:
    I've added the video above so you can view these step-by-step instructions.
    Click the Apple icon (), and then click System Preferences.
    Click Print & Scan.
    Click Open Print Queue, and then click Printer Setup.
    Click the Utility tab, and then click Open Printer Utility.
    Click HTMLConfig.
    Click the Networking tab, and then click Wireless from the list on the left.
    Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
    From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on the wireless security protocol your network uses.
    Note: If your network does not have wireless security, leave the Security Mode set to Open System (No Authentication).
    Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
    In the confirmation box, click OK, and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
    Step 3: Delete the USB connected printer, and then add the wireless connected printer:
    In the Print & Scan window under Printers, click your printer name, and then click the Minus sign () to remove it.
    NOTE: This removes the USB connection from the list so that the only entry for your printer is the wireless connection.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the printer and the computer.
    Under Printers, click the Plus sign ().
    Select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add
    Once your printer is configured for Bonjour, if you have other Mac OS X computers that you want to use with this network printer you do not have to run all these steps again. You simply make sure that the other Mac computers are all connected to the same network that you have set your printer up on and just open Print & Scan. Under Printers click the  () plus sign and select your  printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add.
    You can reference all of this information in: Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
    Let me know if these steps help clear up any confusion for you. Good luck!

  • Any network adapters with usb connection for mac?

    Hi!
    Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum/section. But I need a better network adapter than what comes with my macbook. I need an adapter with usb connection. Found a lot of them, but only for windows Any software that can take a windows driver and "merge" it to the airport software on the mac os x?

  • Correct connection for Mac book air to sharp aquos smart tv

    II'm almost positive I need a mini display adapter, but have read contradicting statements in the forums.
    the following link will show the connections available on my tv on the second picture down.
    http://www.sharpusa.com/ForHome/HomeEntertainment/LCDTV/Models/LC70SQ15U.aspx

    The connection on a PPC Mac mini is DVI. It comes with a DVI to VGA adapter. You do not need to use the adapter if you just get a DVI to HDMI cable. If you haven't updated the mini to Leopard, you may want to for best results. You will also probably want to upgrade the RAM in the mini to the maximum possible (1gb). This will allow you the best resolution you can get from the mini to the TV.

  • NMT and 5800XM USB connectivity (for Mac)

     Hi everyone,
    I just wanted anyone's ideas and feedback regarding a problem I'm having with my NMT and 5800XM on my Macbook (10.6.x).
    I've updated my firmware on my phone V.40 and also NMT v1.4.2.  The problem I'm having is that my computer does not recognize the phone when connected via USB and the PC Suite option is set on the phone.  The phone registers it as connected, but the NMT on my computer does not detect the phone at all.  Hence I've had to use Bluetooth to connect to NMT, but it's much slower.
    Has any Mac users have had this problem?  If so, does anyone have an idea on how to solve it? Or could this be some software issue with the phone, or NMT?
    Thanks.  Your feedback is much appreciated.
    JC

    I have two USB hubs without a separate power supply. One is older (USB 1.1) and will drive an external hard drive, the newer hub (2.0) is more compact and will not support an external hard disk drive. I cannot find any listing of the power properties of the hubs themselves, or other hubs for sale, and so do not know which might work better. I suspect a non-powered hub is not ideal for an external hard disk drive.
    My solution is to buy a small bluetooth mouse and forget about using a USB hub for a mouse and instead use the port mostly for a USB flash drive.

  • Remote Desktop Connection for Mac to Windows - logout error

    Hello
    I'm trying to use Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) to get from my Mac into a MacMini running Windows XP Professional. I can log into the Windows computer, but once I put in my password and click OK, it logs out of the Windows machine. Is there some sort of sharing preference or configuration that I'm missing that's making this happen?
    I want to be able to use RDC to access the Windows machine and keep everything up still on the Windows machine.
    Thanks

    Since RDC is not an Apple product, you'll probably want to use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups> rather than an Apple forum
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered.

  • MS Remote Desktop Connection for Mac: Capslock Key

    I've started having an issue with the Mac RDP client where when I switch away from a full screen remoted windows machine to another space, then back to the windows machine, the windows machine believes the Caps Lock key is active.
    I have to switch back to another space, activate the caps lock key, switch back, then deactivate in order to turn caps lock off.
    This was not always the case. It started doing this a few months back, but it does it now 4 out of 5 times.
    Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea how to fix?
    R,
    Dan

    Yes, i have the same problem and it's totally annoying
    I found a workaround - when the Caps Lock turns on in Windows, start your on-screen keyboard and turn it off and then close the on-screen keyboard by double clicking on the upper right corner icon (otherwise the remote desktop hangs). Hope someone finds a solution for the Caps Lock problem...

  • Is there any way to keep Microsoft RDC for Mac OSX from disconnecting when I start typing?

    I am able to login to remote computers using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac OS X (version 2.0.1). I can launch applications and open folders on the remote system without any problems. However, anytime I start typing it immediately disconnects me from the remote system.
    I have resorted to using TSClientX, which works, but doesn't have all the great features that RDC for Mac OS X has.
    My PowerBook is running 10.5.8. The remote systems are Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.
    I have tried uninstalling the latest version of RDC for Mac and going back to several older versions, that did not resolve the issue.
    I have tried restoring the keyboard shortcuts, that did not resolve the issue (though, I never made any changes to the configuration anyway).
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
    I'm going to post this on a Microsoft Support forum as well, but thought I'd see if anyone here had any suggestions as well. Thanks in advance!

    I've know a few people who have had trouble getting CoRD to work correctly with their PPC mac. Personally I've not had any problems. I know the later version seems to work better.
    As MS RDC, in an ideal world it would be nice if that could be resolved. I have been playing about with that myself a few times now. At first I thought it was a firewall problem on my Mac. After many hours of fiddling with this, it still had the same problem. This problem is the same for my MacBook pro too.
    Many user forums seem to be suggesting config change, but I find it odd how it works fine with Windows XP, but connecting to anything else has problem. Could it be a configuration problem in Windows I wonder? Should you come across a resolution, then let us know here on the Support Community.
    Best of Luck.

  • Lost connection with Time Capsule (Office for Mac programmes run down)

    My colleague and I work at the office with 2 Macbooks. Both are connected wirelessly to the Time Capsule, which we use as a shared hard disk. We use Office 2008 for Mac. Now Word and Excel run down often after of little things like doing a search or cutting and pasting. I get the spinning ball can only do a forced quit to end the program. This is frustrating and time consuming!
    A friend told me to change my UID, cause my colleague and I both have the same UID (501) at our Macbooks. He downloaded Server Admin Tools to change my UID into 1001 with Work Group Manager. But when I arrived at the office this morning I didn't have a connection with the Time Capsule. To be able to work I changed the UID back to 501 again (but now I can't open excel document inless I drag them to the hard disk of my Macbook).
    The friend is not a Apple professional so he doens’t know how to help me anymore. Does anyone else have a suggestion?

    Temporarily, try connecting an Ethenret cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
    Open AirPort Utility and Click Manual Setup
    Click on the word "Status" (2nd Line) and a window will open to with information about why the light is flashing amber

  • BE 3000 with Jabber (for Mac) and webex connect integration problems

    Hi,
    This is my first question on the forum so please be gentle!
    I have a customer who has a Business Edition 3000 and they have purchased WebEx connect and Jabber integration to go with it.
    My problem is I am having difficulty getting the setup to work and I have a number of questions on how to set this up.  Most of the docs on Cisco's website seem to be related to either CUCME or full CUCM, but not a lot on BE 3000.  My questions are below:
    1.  I have been reading the documentation for WebEx connect and it states to set the IP address of the BE 3000 server in the Configuration>Additional Services>Unified Communications>Voicemail tab.  This is currently on the network with a 192.168.x.x address however.  My predecessor put this IP address in the WebEx configuration page but I'm not sure this will work with a private IP as I don't know how this communicates back.  The documentation isn't very clear on this.  Does this have to be a public IP address / FQDN for it to work?
    2.  Are there any SRNDs for this type of setup that could help?  Again, looking through the website hasn't turned anything up yet.
    Note: 
    we are using the following software:
    Jabber for MAC:
    uc-client-mac-8.6.7.20127.fcs.zip
    MAC OS:
    OSX 10.8.3
    BE 3000:
    MCS7890C1-BE8
    8.6.4.10000-15.
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Regards,
    Jason

    Hi - I have done this via the admin portal but still cannot get the Jabber client for Mac to register for voice.  The Windows version works fine for the same user and CUCM device.   Are there any other settings that need to be enabled specific to the Mac client?
    Thanks.

  • Configure Jabber for Mac with local CUCM and WebEx Connect

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has been able to configure the Jabber for Mac 8.6.2 client to use the WebEx Connect presence server with a local CUCM and Unity Connection servers. The preferences accounts tab does not show or allow the addition of the voice services. I have added from a working local CUCM preferences plist file what I believe are the correct entries however I still cannot see the accounts on the preferences tab. We currently do not have a local cisco presence server hence the requirement to trial the WebEx Connect server as I can't get past the first configuration step without it.
    regards
