Secure connection from iMac Airport to PC netbook running XP

I am able to connect to my MAC via Airport wireless all the time without a secure connection. The PC netbook is running XP.
However when I try to put in either WEP or WPA password and make the link secure, it will not connect.
Is there something I'm missing

In my experience it does matter, but then you said it didn't work unencrypted either.
I think it would be prudent to ensure that you update to the lastest version of OS 9 (OS 9.2.2) which you can download for free here (link).
Are you able to access the Internet if you connect into an Ethernet port direct?

Cannot connect from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares

Hi guys,
I am having dificulties connecting from iMac to Windows Home Server 2011 shares.
First of all it takes so long time to discover the share in iMac, which it's called "mediaserver". After finding it i cannot connect and gives "Connection Failed: message. If i choose "Connect As.." option i wait some time and then pops out with an error: "There was a problem connecting to the server "mediaserver". The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
If i try from Finder -> Go -> Connect to Server ... write in Server Address : smb://mediaserver it fails. But if i write the IP address, like: smb://192.168.1.42 it works after couple of tries. If i try now to Make an Alias for the share i get "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (eror code -8060)."
Has anyone experienced these problems ? I have updated to Mac OS X version 10.7.3. Could that be the problem ?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Simi

You need to reinstall the updated WHS connector for Mac. You should then be able to access your shares on WHS 2011.
The problem I'm having is I can't get Time Capsule to recognize the WHS 2011 mapped folders that show up on the desktop as a drive, so Backup won't work.

Sharing Internet Connection from iMac to MacBook Pro

I've arrived home for the holiday from university and, of course, brought my MacBook Pro home with me. My family does not have a wireless Internet connection as I do at uni, but they do have an iMac connected to a cable modem via ethernet. So I have enabled Internet connection sharing on the iMac and told the iMac not to sleep unless it is inactive for 3 hours (it gets used frequently enough that this shouldn't be a problem, and the computer can go into sleep mode at night). The iMac screen is set to turn off after about 20 minutes, to save energy.
The iMac's sharing is via AirPort and it has a WEP password. I use my MacBook Pro's AirPort card to connect to the iMac's connection. Unfortunately, after about 20-30 minutes of using the wireless on the MBP, the safari web browser claims that I am not connected to the Internet and the AirPort card gets a "self-assigned" IP address. The solution is to restart the MBP.
Why is this happening, and is there anything I need to do on either of the computers to fix the problem? Both computers are running 10.5.1 with all security updates installed. It's frustrating having to constantly restart the computer when I'm using the Internet.

My problem is similar. I'm trying to do internet share from iMac G5 (w/ iSight) to MacBook Pro, both running 10.5.1. The iMac is connected to dsl/router via ethernet, and I'm trying to internet share to MBP via airport. I cannot establish connection, even though airport shows full strength signal. I checked password over and over and over, and that seems fine. But Network preference panel shows airport to have self-assigned IP.
I tried internet share from iMac to MBP via firewire, but that did not work either.
On a (un)related? note, I used to be able to share screen, but only in one direction. I could control the iMac from my MBP, but never the other way around despite the fact all the firewall and sharing is set identical. Now, even though in both computers I have the other computer showing up in the sidebar of the Finder, screen share and file share fails. I just don't know what happened!

Ethernet connection from iMac to pc transfer question

I'm going to be getting an iMac shortly.
I currently have a Windows PC.
I'm sure I read somewhere that its possible to connect a Mac and a Windows PC together with an Ethernet cable.
What I'm wanting to do is, rather than transfer my music, photos, documents and other stuff to an external hard drive (plus the time it would take to copy the stuff to the external hard drive) and then copy the stuff onto my iMac, I was wondering if there is a way of been able to connect the iMac and the PC together with an Ethernet cable and have both the machines switched on and basically use the Mac to access the hard drive on the Windows PC to then copy the desired information over to the iMac.
I know there is a Migration Assistant application, but I would rather just copy the stuff over that I'm wanting, then at least I know what's been copied over.
If its possible to connect a Mac and a Windows PC together with an Ethernet cable and from there access the information on the Windows PC's hard drive and copy it over to the Mac. If its possible, could someone provide me with the instructions on how to do this please?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help everyone, really appreciate the help
I already have an external hard drive that would hold everything. Its just I thought it would take a while to copy the stuff over from my Windows PC onto the EHD, then copy the stuff back off of it to my iMac, and thought if I could have linked the iMac and the PC together, the copying would only need to be done once.
I had an idea yesterday. I have a 3.5 inch hard drive caddy/enclosure. My Windows PC is very easy to get into has its got a full side access panel which removes with two thumb screws. I thought I could remove the drive from my Windows PC, place it in the caddy/enclosure and then connect the caddy/enclosure to my iMac, I could then simply access the information and copy it over to my iMac. This would allow me to copy only the required stuff, I would only be copying stuff over once (rather than twice if I were to copy from my PC to a EHD and then to my iMac). The drive would be in the NTFS format (as its been used on a Windows system) but from my understanding Mac can read drives formatted in this, it just cannot write to it without third party software. Would the removing drive, placing it in a caddy/enclousure idea work OK?
Yes that is a great idea, I'd recommend going that route!

I keep losing my connection from iMac to keyboard and mouse any help please

I keep losing connection between imac and my mouse and key board.I then have to power off and reboot to get connection can anyone help please!!!!

Hi
Update date for anyone who ha suffered with the problem of losing connection to an ext HDD.
For me, the solution appears to have been achieved by making use of my old 802.11 b&g Airport Extreme base station and my new 802.11 n Airport Extreme Base Station.
My network is now setup as follows:-
Airport 802.11 n - 5GHz
Macbook Black
Apple TV
Time Capsule
Airport Express Base Station
Airport 802.11 b&g - 2.4GHz
Playstation 3
Xbox 360 Elite
Nintendo Wii
iPhones
iPod Touch
Canon Wi-fi Printer
iMac G5
Sony VAIO TX2P
I connect my ADSL line to both AEBS by ethernet, changed the settings and this has dramatically improved my connection reliability and speed when streaming movies and/or music.
Through trial & error, I have also discovered that the other problems that I have are connected to situations when restart my Macbook after a shut down or restart and my iPhone is connected. This causes iTunes to start up but due to the restart, the ext HDD is not ready and therefore, ITunes opens its local library - I now just try to remember to use the Option key to choose the library. Finally, if the laptop just runs out of juice, the ext HDD doesn't have the chance to have a friendly handshake before losing its connection. When I restart, the connection does to the HDD fails and I have to restart AEBS
I hope that helps anyone with similar problems or who wants to make the most of their fast 802.11n equipment by making is use of that kit that was maybe considered redundant - by creating a dual frequency network that maximizes speeds on 802.11 n whilst allowing use of the legacy 802.11 b&g devices.

I cannot get wireless connection from my AirPort Extreme, despite my ipad confirmed i am wireless connected to the AirPort Extreme.

I cannot browse pages like Google or Yahoo as i get error message saying "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding". I have tried resetting the Airport Extreme to factory setting and unplugged everything and reconnected them, but still i see that my ipad has connection with the Airport Extreme but i cannot browse the internet using wireless via my ipad. can anyone help ?

Did you ever get an answer to this? Or figure out a solution? I have the same problem.

Can I use Airport Express to extend signal from my Airport Extreme and then run Ethernet from Express to my TV which requires ethernet to access internet?

As stated in title. I want to access Netflix but my TV requires ethernet connection. I would like to use Express to repeat Exreme sigal and then to TV via Ethernet. I only have one access point in house for cable modem so I'm using Extreme to broadcast though house. Will need to be able to input network key for Extreme secure network. Thank you.
Mike

Are both your AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express 802.11"n" devices?
If yes, you can configure the Express to "extend a wireless network" and it will provide more wireless coverage and the Etherent port will be enabled so that you can connect an Ethernet device.
This assumes that the Express is located where it can receive a strong signal from the AirPort Extreme.

How can I get connection from iMac to TV wirelessly ?

How can I view photos from my Mac hard drive or from an external hard drive on my TV screen? My Sonia Bravia TV is in another room and has a Wireless LAN adaptor which detects my Router and connects, and also detects an external hard drive connected to the Router via Ethernet. But it does not detect my iMac (can be connected to my router via ethernet or wifi- makes no difference), nor can it connect to the external hard drive. I don't care which source I send the photos from, but at least one would be good! The Router is a Netgear DG834GT.

You can use an Apple TV.
Otherwise, you cannot do what you are attempting. Your television cannot access the devices and files on your Mac.

WIFI connection from IMAC to Officejet 6380 keeps failing

Hello. I cannot seem to get my IMAC to communicate with my printer. I've installed the software twice, once from disk and once from internet. When I print test page from printer utility, the printer spools up, prints a couple of lines, then stops and hangs up. eventually I see on the computer screen that a comms failure occurred. Anybody know what I can do to solve this?
Sincerely,
JN

Describe to me your wireless setup.
What type of wireless-router are you using?
Is the iMac connected wirelessly or wired to your network?
Can you browse the printer's internal web page via Safari (use Bonjour bookmarks to find the printer and select it).
Finally, what printer are you using?

Secure connection from Windows to Unix based Oracle

Greetz!
I hope this is the correct forum to post in for this. I am a .Net developer and I have need to authenticate to an Oracle DB on a UNIX server from a Windows server.
I have a requirement for an excel spreadsheet that takes in a large amount of data and creates a pivot table and several worksheets a few times a day.
It is saved to a SharePoint site where users can download it. We will be moving to SP 2010 in about 8 months but I can't wait for that (of course) and am not convinced that would help this issue.
We are currently on 10g but in the process of 11g. The solution will likely run on 11g (place is nuts..nothing is certain)
I cannot pass credentials using ODBC because it is clear text.
The Oracle instances do not have Oracle Advanced Security turned on.
Is it possible to pass a username/password from the windows server to the unix server securely (encrypted).
Thank you!

Depending on which version of UNIX you are migrating to, transportable tablespaces will require RMAN for conversion.
select * from v$transportable_platform;The ENDIAN_FORMAT determines if conversion is needed. If one platform is BIG and the other is LITTLE, then conversion will be required.

Connectivity from ejb to Resource Adapter at run time

          I am facing a problem regarding the look-up of the Resource Adapter from the Ejb.
          To explain :
          1.I have The <resource-ref> tag in ejb-jar.xml set at follows :
          <resource-ref>
          <description>The Resource Adapter</description>
          <res-ref-name>eis/RitResourceAdapter</res-ref-name>
          <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
          <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
          </resource-ref>
          and the <resource-description> tag in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml as follows:
          <resource-description>
          <res-ref-name>eis/RitResourceAdapter</res-ref-name>
          <jndi-name>eis/RitResourceAdapterConnectorJNDINAME</jndi-name>
          </resource-description>
          2.Even though I have mentioned the res-ref-type as javax.sql.Datasource , in my
          code I have done :
          rcf = (RitConnectionFactory) c.lookup ("java:comp/env/eis/RitResourceAdpapter");
          Where rcf is the my Resource Adapter specific Connection Factory (one which
          I have prepared and not
          the javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory). So this means the connection
          object which I get is casted to
          get my own application specific connection object.
          3.When I run my servlet (which looks up the Ejb and which in turn looks-up the
          Resource Adapter) it works fine to the point that it looks-up the bean successfully
          but fails when it tries to do so for Resource Adapter. The Server exception is
          as follows :
                    javax.ejb.EJBException
                    - with nested exception:
          [javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: Unable to resolve comp/env/eis/RitResourceAdpapter/
          Resolved: 'comp/env/eis' Unresolved:'RitResourceAdpapter' ; remaining name '']
          It will be great to hear about any solution from you people.
          For your information :
          I am using Weblogic 6.1, both the ejb jar and the RitResourceAdapter.rar has been
          deployed and the relevant portion of the weblogic-ra. xml is :
          <connection-factory-name>LogicalNameOfRitResourceAdapter</connection-factory-name>
          <jndi-name>eis/RitResourceAdapterConnectorJNDINAME</jndi-name>
          Regards,
          Ritwik


> My question here is that is there any way where I do not put the queue name in the sender adapter at design time and based on the data availability in the queue let the sender adapter know the queue name to be processed at run time.
Unfortunately for JMS Sender CC it is not possible, but other way around is possible. I.e. you can dynamically choose the receving queue names by using ASMA "JMSReplyTo" in JMS Sender CC.

Cannot access iTunes Store - "connection timed out" or "secure connection failed" issues.

If you are having problems connecting to the iTunes Store to:
(a)     activate a new iPod, iPhone or iPad; or
(b)     re-activate an existing iPod. iPhone or iPad after upgrading the OS for the device,
then hopefully this article will assist.
It is assumed that have encountered the following problem. When you connect your device to your PC the device is recognised by iTunes, but the main window simply displays the name of the device (e.g. iPad). The progress bar at the top says "accessing the iTunes Store", but it stalls and eventually there is an error message saying something like "connection timed out".
There are a number of variants of this problem, but the common thread is that your device is unable to access the iTunes Store to authenticate a new device or after upgrading the OS on an existing device.The first recaction is to check that your Internet connection is ok and that that "itunes.exe" a not being blocked by your Windows or third party firewall settings, but the problem persists.
Having recently experienced this problem and scouring the Internet for a solution, I eventually solved it using the following approach:
(a)     Check that you are connected to the Internet (i.e can browse the web).
(b)     Open iTunes and choose "Run diagnostics" from the help menu and then select the "networking connectivity" option (uncheck the other options) and click "next" twice. A report will show the results with a "green" or "red" dot next to each item. You should see a "green" dot next to the first two items ("Network interfaces verified" and "Internet connection verified"). However there will probably be a "red" dot next to the third item "Secure link to iTunes Store verified".
The important thing to note is that a secure connection could not be established. This is an indication that your wireless security is the problem. It does not satisfy the security level expected by the iTunes Store. It seems that an unsecure connection or one using outdated encryption (such as WEP) is no longer sufficient for the iTunes Store. This may be why the problem has emerged with the most recent versions of iTunes. The now widely used wireless encryption standard WPA or WPA2 is expected.
So you need to check your router wireless security settings and, if you have a PC that uses a wireless connection to the router, make sure its settings match. The following is a guide bearing in mind that there are many different types of routers and Windows OS.
Router
TIP: If you have a wireless connection from your PC to your router, then check your PC wireless security options first to see that "WPA" or "WPA2" are available (see below) as it will be a pain to change your router settings only to discover that your PC does not have the same options.
(a)     Most routers can be accessed using your web browser by typing in the router's address (e.g. http://192.186.1.1). If you don't know the address look at the mannual that came with your router as it will tell you how to do this.
(b)     Once your browser displays the router interface you may be prompted for a username and password. These may be the default factory or ones that you have created previously. If the username or password has not been changed, but you don't remember of know what they are again go to the mannual that came with your router as it will have that information.
(c)     Assuming that you are able to access your router interface, look for the "wireless" tab or menu and a sub-menu or option for the "security settings". They'll be there somewhere. Once you find the security options you can select the encryption level. As stated above, you should choose "WPA" or "WPA2". You will then be asked to create a network key which can be anything with the required number of letters and/or digits.
(d)     Once your finished write the settings down (including the key) as you will need them for your PC if you have a wireless connection to the router. Save the changes (if prompted to do so) and re-boot your router.
PC Wireless
(a)     Again the appoach that you need to take will depend on your OS (XP, Vista or Windows 7), but generally speaking if you go to the "network" on your PC there will be the option to highlight it and right click or choose a "properties" item. I vaugely think this can be done in XP by right clicking the wireless icon in the taskbar and navigating to the dialogue box that shows your network. In Windows 7 you will need to go to the "Network and Sharing Center" and then choose "Manage wireless networks".
(b)     At some point (sorry to be vauge) you will find the wireless network security options for your network. Select the same level of encrytion ("WPA" or "WPA2") and type in the same network key that you chose for your router. Save the changes and your wireless connection should come to life. If not then make sure that you have put in the correct settings before freaking out.
Back to iTunes
Once you are connected to your router again (wirelessly or by lan), then plug in your device and open iTunes. As before it will try to access the iTunes Store, but hopefully you won't have any problem establishing a secure connection and you'll be up and running.
Best of luck!

Something is still blocking iTunes, do you have any other firewall installed?
When you say you removed Norton, to you mean you uninstalled it. An uninstalled Norton security product can still bock iTunes as some of it is left behind.
Several people have found that using the Norton Removal Tool to remove all traces of Norton fixes this problem.

Cannot connect to iMac (OS9) via ethernet while connected to internet

I readily connect my eMac (OS X) to my iMac (OS 9) via ethernet using TCP/IP except when my internal modem is connected to the internet. In Network Port Configurations, I have ethernet at the top of the list, followed by fire wire and then the modem. It appears to search the internet.
Any suggestions?

On the iMac, the AppleTalk Control Panel (CP) is set to connect via ethernet. The TCP/IP CP is set to connect via Ethernet, Configure manually with an IP and Router address of 192.168.168.1 and a Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 The IP address shows up in the File Sharing CP which is set to use TCP/IP.
On the eMac, PPPoE is disabled and Appletalk is active. Connecting from eMac to iMac works fine when the eMac's internal modem is idle but not when it is connected to the internet.
When I try to connect from iMac to eMac while eMac is connected to internet, I see the eMac in the Chooser and can attempt to connect as either registered user or guest but then immediately get "The connection to this server has been unexpectedly broken". If the eMac is not connected to the internet, I can connect as a guest and see items in my Public folder.
I tried creating a new Location and immediately lost my internet connection.
The IP address of the iMac never changes. I do enter the IP address of the eMac's ethernet into the chooser dialogue on the iMac when attempting to connect from iMac.
