Setting up a vpn on server Mac mini

I am trying to setup a VPN on a Mac Mini with OS X Server.   I am able to connect via my internal wifi system but not external.  I had to setup my modem to port forward but should it go in or out  on the port forwarding.

Okay I will try that, when I was over my parents house the other day and they have the same internet supplier.  I noticed that they have the exact same IP address as I do and I live 20 miles away.  I also found in my modem that I can change my static IP address to something different if this is a better way of doing business.  I am now wondering if this internet supplier is using the same IP for everyone will I be able to connect to my network?  Thanks for the help, this is the first time I have tried to create a VPN.

  • How can I set up a VPN on my mac?

    I am trying to set up a VPN cnnection so that I can access my work from my mac.  The system there is Windows based.  I have found articles about how to set up a VPN on a mac but there doesn't appear to be an area to put the static IP address or the computer IP address.  Any help would be appreciated!

    Have read the printer manual, it will contain instructions for connecting it to a network, and then to your Mac. You don't identify this printer so it's difficult to be more specific.
    You can also go to the printer manufacturers website and seek assistance there.

  • How do I set up my Time Machine and Mac Mini with Lion Server so i have one wifi loop in the house?

    HELP!
    So I have had a Time Machine wifi loop at the house for approx. 6 years. I run two Macbooks, 2 iPhones, 2 iTouch and a Samsung Smart Blueray on the loop.
    I just bought a Mac Mini with Lion Server. When setting it up I'm not sure what or how I managed to do, but I now have 2 wifi loops, one doesn't lock and niether will support the Samsung BlueRay. Also, each time I want to go online with one of the other Mac devices i have to relog into the wifi loop.
    Can someone please walk me through the fix. The mac Mini is plugged straight into the Time Machine to recevie its internet connection.
    Thanks!

    You often see this limit of 10 clients in wireless hotspots but I have yet to see it in an adsl modem.. most strange way to pay for a service that is really irrelevant how many clients you use.
    Have a go .. I recently setup a TC to help a guy run his Roku.. and this setup worked well.. I have no idea if it can work in your case.
    Lets say the IP you get is 192.168.2.1-10 .. doesn't matter what it really is. And the adsl modem is 192.168.2.254
    (Assuming they are private addresses.. if they are public IP you can just use the DHCP and NAT. )
    But go to the airport utility.. I think you need to run v5 at least to change DNS.. but you can do the same thing in v6 using static but no dns changes.
    Now you set the IP of the TC manually.. This address might need to be in the dhcp range of the modem to work. You can set the DNS to same IP as the router address.. ie home address of the modem. Or you can use another DNS.. whatever you like.
    Then set DHCP for clients that will join.. this can then expand the scope of addresses..
    It worked without a NAT error.. although I am not sure exactly how.. on paper it should not be able to work but did.. have a go.. otherwise there is perhaps another way.. but it is complicated.
    Give us an example from a computer plugged into the modem of what IP .. subnet mask .. Gateway and DNS you get. Then I can fine tune the values for it.

  • 10.6 Server + Mac mini = Fail City, U.S.A.

    Flashback: I had a dual 800 MHz G4 server running 10.5 Server. This is at my home, the server was acting as a file server plus dhcp server, router, mail server, light web server, netboot, etc. Then I got a Mac mini to replace the G4, so I could cut the power consumption of my setup by more than half, AND add media center to list of server tasks. 10.5 is Universal, so the drives went from my G4 to my 9400m mini without skipping a beat. Well it did skip one beat, eventually I had to spilt the mirrored raid, repartition one drive do GUID (from APM), then restore the remaining slice to the newly reformatted volume. Then erase the second volume and add is as a secondary to the first. That was only because some software updates don't like to run on an APM partition of they're on an Intel Mac.
    Fast forward a few months.
    I've been using my home server more and more to play video. 10.6 is supposed to use the video card for h264 decoding. So even though playing even HD video barely uses any CPU at all, I figured it would be a good time to upgrade to 10.6 Server. Then it would use even less CPU, plus I'd get a little snappiness.
    Now the horror begins:
    I'm not going to recount everything. But it was 48 hours of downtime, where every possible little thing that could go wrong, went wrong all at the same time. The short version is that the upgrade failed. So I restored from my Time Machine thinking I'd just try it again some other time. Turns out time machine doesn't backup your mail server. (THANKS FOR TELLING ME, APPLE) So then I figure I have everything ELSE backed up, and I still have all my mail on the clients. So then I reformat and do a clean install of Snow Leopard Server. Fail. Repeat. Fail. Repeat. Fail. <- more on that in a sec, but at this point, I'm deciding to just go back to 10.5 and be done with this "upgrade". But theres a problem, my 10.5.0 OS X Server disk won't boot this new Mac mini. Remember where this mini's drives came from? It was already on 10.5.6 or newer (forget) when they got put into this mini. So then I had to get an external drive, hook it up to my mac pro, install 10.5 on that, then netboot my mini off my macbook, and image the installed server over to the mini. Nightmare. But as of right now, I'm back on 10.5.8 and I've been running fast and stable for many hours now. So I believe the nightmare has ended.
    But back to 10.6's problems . . .
    The primary problem was this: My mini would connect to the cable modem and to my LAN. It would run fine for a few hours. Then it would drop it's DHCP IP. And it would not get it back. EVER. Reboot modem, reboot computer, delete interface, re-add interface, delete location, delete networking prefs. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING would get it back. It was like the computer freaked out and broke it's ability to connect as a DHCP client. The modem connects to an Apple USB Ethernet adapter, but even plugging directly into my modem, the ethernet port wouldn't grab an IP any more. With my macbook set up as a temporary DHCP server, the mini wouldn't get an ip from IT over ethernet. Other macs on the network did no problem. It was complete, unfixable DHCP failure. So I'd do another clean install, start over. Everything seemed good, but after an hour or so, suddenly the mini would drop it's IP and that was the end of that installation of OS X. Keep in mind the whole time this was happening, I could plug the USB ethernet adapter (thats connected to my modem) into my MacBook and it would get an ip in seconds. I even left the mini connected overnight while I slept, hoping it would straighten itself out by morning. Nope. Also, this happened under 10.6, then 10.6.2, then 10.6.1.
    Now, I've been running 10.6 server on my MacBook Pro for a long time. I occasionally use it for DHCP Serving/Netboot Serving. It has always worked like a charm. So my theory at this point is that 10.6.2 Server seems to have some critical incompatibility with Mac minis. Which is a real ball buster considering the new Mac mini Server. I wonder if that new server has a slightly newer build of OS X Server on it.
    So thats my story. I still want 10.6 on my home server, but now I'm kind of afraid of 10.6 server.
    Heres another fun tidbit. My mini server is in one room, with it's keyboard, mouse, many connections to an external drive tower, modem, switch etc. But it's monitor is my television, thats in a different room. I've always used remote desktop to manage. But when the network itself is having problems. . . It's NOT fun when theres no easy way to move the TV or the Computer close to each other . . .

    To say that 10.6.2 doesn't like Mac Minis seems a bit of a stretch to me. No one else is reporting similar issues, so that hints towards something in your setup more than Mac OS X Server.
    What's missing from your post is any hint at what the logs have to say about this.
    Mac OS X Server is pretty good about logging problem events on the network and I'm sure there'd be some kind of hint there.
    The other critical piece of information is what else is attached to that USB port. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that you've got some external storage device attached to the USB - the same USB that's trying to manage your network. If that external drive is going to sleep it could cause a USB bus reset, and there goes your network!
    If that's the case, it's arguable that the server should just re-establish the link, and it probably should, but you're also asking it to perform under flaky conditions so unexpected things could happen. Again, the logs should make it pretty clear if that's what's going on.

  • Is it feasible to set up 21 unit hotel with Mac Mini's in each room?

    I am building a 21 unit condo hotel in Mexico, and want to have mini's in each room connected to 42" HDTV, the features I want are
    1. WiFi using "share internet"
    2. Skype installed for calls
    3. iChat for communicating with the front desk, restaurant and other rooms
    4. Maintaing a large iTunes collection (music, video and pictures) for viewing
    5. ability for clients to access their account (bill)
    Does this make sense? and are there any consulting firms that would help me set this up?

    Hi HotinPlaya,
    This is a great plan!
    Your WiFi connection should just use a WiFi router or Apple Airport Extreme Base station. Just one might not cover all of your units. The Apple base stations may be more expensive, but they are more easily chained together to create one large WiFi network.
    As for the other applications, these are all very doable. The only problem would be that your hotel guests might be able to make too many changes, and you would have to spend too much of your time re-installing or reconfiguring the system or applications. I would therefore suggest that you create an admin account and a then create a separate "user" account for each computer - and make it a "Managed with Parental Control" account. this will prevent the end users (your hotel guests) from making too many changes. If you leave the systems wide-open to changes, you will soon find that you either will be hiring someone to fix all of the computers or having to give it up completely.
    An even better (but costlier) method would be to use a Mac OS X Server system to setup the "client" Mac Mini's. Mac OS X Server allows you to configure all of your client systems remotely.

  • How to set up dual monitors with a Mac Mini

    The Mac Mini has only one video output port. I very nearly didn't buy a Mac Mini system because I need to work with two monitors. I use the second monitor to display information in Web pages, PDFs, and Word documents while I am working in the main window.
    However, I discovered after quite a bit of Googling that it is possible to set up dual monitors using an inexpensive USB video adapter (about $70).
    So I bought my Mini (1.83Ghz, 2GB RAM, 200GB 7200rpm Seagate Momentus), and I also bought a USB video adapter called the EVGA Plus.
    I've installed this system and used it now for a week, and I am quite pleased with it. So I thought I'd pass this information along to anyone who's interested. Please note that, although this is my first post to this forum, this isn't spam -- I have no financial relationship with any of the companies mentioned here, other than as a customer.
    LINKS
    EVGA Plus:
    http://www.evga.com/articles/409.asp
    Their literature does not mention Mac OS X compatibility. However, the underlying technology is made by Display Link. You can download beta Mac OS X drivers from their site:
    Go to Display Link to download the beta Mac OS support -- see
    http://www.displaylink.com/macbetadrivers.html
    The disk image includes a very well written PDF document that explains the driver's status and limitations.

    NOTES
    * The DisplayLink driver is beta. It doesn't support 2D or 3D accelerated graphics. You can't use it to display iPhoto slide shows, for example. However, I need to be able to display a Web page, document, or PDF in the second monitor while I am working in the first. I've found this solution to be quite acceptable for this purpose.
    * Several other companies make USB video units that use the same DisplayLink support, so they should work, too. However, they are more expensive -- largely because they're set up to function as port expanders, I believe. The EVGA Plus was the only unit priced under $100 when I did my search.
    * USB does not have very much bandwidth, so you might be surprised that to hear that it's possible to use USB to drive a monitor! You'll find that the display isn't as fast as DVI, but for my purposes, I've found it quite acceptable.
    * The EVGA Plus comes with a terrible USB to mini USB cable that will cause all sorts of display problems. Replace it with the type of cable that is used to hook up digital cameras to a USB port.
    * Once everything is installed, you can use the Displays in System Preferences (or just click the icon on the menu bar) to adjust the second monitor. You can choose display resolutions (depending on your monitor's ability, of course). Rotation works. You can also right-click the second monitor and choose a different background color or graphic.
    Don't expect miracles. Don't go this route if you want to run videos or games in the second monitor. And if you get an EVGA Plus, replace that horrible cable!
    I hope this information is helpful.
    Bryan

    There has been quite a lot of discussion here about driving twin displays with the mini, and more recently about the potential for USB video adapters to facilitate this, particularly in the light of several vendors claiming they have suitable MacOS devices and drivers 'almost ready'.
    The DisplayLink solution seems to be the one most suggested as viable, though it's a pity they have not yet been able to move their drivers from beta - I suspect that puts a few people off. It's therefore good to hear of a real-world experience that should help others decide whether or not to go this route!

  • FileMaker Server problem on Mac Mini Server - Mac Mini won't boot

    I just installed a brand new Mac Mini Server today, and also FileMaker Server 11. A first-timer for both Mac OS X Server and FileMaker Server, I made an error as explained below, and right now I don't know how to get back on track with the system. It won't boot.
    So, how did this happen?
    At first everything was proceeding according to plan. I configured the pre-installed Mac OS X Server on the Mac Mini with users, groups and services. This was tested from clients and this seemed to work just fine. Then I installed and configured FileMaker Server. This was also tested from a client, and the example database that came with FMS was served up just fine.
    The problem arose when I tried to install my existing FileMaker databases. I simply checked to see where in the file system the example database was located, and then copied my old databases to that location (I think it was Library > FileMaker Server > Data > Databases or something close to it - can't check it now...). I had the FileMaker Server Admin Console running, and hit the Refresh button hoping that this would make FileMaker Server find the databases.
    This was my first error. I should have read ahead in the instructions to see that one is supposed to use an Upload Database assistant instead...
    What happened when I hit refresh was that the FileMaker Server Admin Console became completely unresponsive with a spinning ball as cursor. I left it for about an hour hoping it would terminate, but gave up and tried to shut it down. It wouldn't close, so I force quit it from the Finder. Then I tried to shut down FileMaker Server, but I needed to force quit this as well. After this I thought it would be best to reboot the Mac Mini, so I shut it down, but now it won't even boot, it just stays on the screen with the spinning wheel for ever!
    I have tried all the keyboard options while booting, but nothing seems to help. In safe mode, the grey progress bar just grows to about one third, then disappears and leaves the eternally spinning wheel.
    The server version of the Mac Mini doesn't have an optical drive, only two internal hard drives. I tried to reinstall from scratch using the optical drive on another Mac on the network. The startup disk appeared when I tried to boot the Mac Mini holding down the option key, and after about 20 minutes or so of the spinning wheel I could actually access the discs. I started by running Disk Utility to check disk permissions. There were a lot of repairs concerning permissions and groups, especially on "Library". It said "ACL differs on Library", I don't know what this is but this was repaired. I then ran Repair Disk. The volume appeared to be OK.
    When I tried to reinstall Mac OS X Server however, this failed with the message
    "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed. Mac OS X Server couldn't be installed on this disk." I don't know how this can be, but I may have run software update earlier today.
    What should I try next? Should I erase the primary HD and try to install again? Or should I install the system software on the secondary HD? Or should I just try to reboot as is in the hope that the disk permission repairs did the trick...?
    Any helpful pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello there, I came across your post when browsing the forum for passive advice. I am in the same boat as you and am a first timer for both of these tools. I work for a company who now needs to expand its network and database capabilities. I have been assigned this task and these are the tools i have opted for. I have not yet purchased them and i am pleased to find someone who has my desired setup. Could you please advise on the simplicity of the setup and whether an advanced knowledge is required.
    I want to use it in a mixed operating system environment. Is this possible?
    Regards

  • Fresh Home Server, Mac Mini 2014 or older?

    Hello Again,
    I read all discussions dot apple dot com server posts title since friday's announcements on ac Mini and searched too on top of web searching reviews, but I wanted to hear from you gals and guys.
    I do not do Big Photos or Movie professionally, just Apple Deployment of carts, apps and books.
    I want a Mac Mini to mostly practice Yosemite Server and some newer devices.
    For a simple Home Server with only few devices, would it be better to get the previous refurbed Mac Mini and throw on Server 4.0?
    A short why is welcomed.
    Merci,
    Francois.

    Server really doesn't put much of a load on the machine.  I have it running on a Mini from 2010, and it's working just fine.  You could get a refurb and it'll do the job.
    Most of Server's features are low demand on RAM and CPU.  Networking is where it feels the most strain if you are moving a lot of files or using it as a proxy.  If you're just using file services, Xcode, DNS, and Mail, a Core2Duo with 4GB RAM can easily handle the load.

  • Convert Server Mac Mini to Vanilla Mac using OSX upgrade

    I have a new Mac Mini with the server software loaded, which i have disabled, but is it possible to convert the Mini to a "Vanilla" Mac by choosing a specific way to upgrade the MAC OSX?
    Thanks

    As long as the new install is done on the OSX partition,
    the others should be fine.  Make sure you make backup
    of them just in case.
    Just to be safe, I would get an external drive and do the install
    on that.  Then boot to that drive (make suree all is well), wipe the
    internal OSX partition, then clone the external to internal.
    "And not sure how i get a new load of Lion these days."
    Unfortunately you will need to buy it at the app store
    and download it in order to get the Lion without server
    components.  Installing via Recovery HD on a Server
    will install Lion + Server.

  • Looking for high res video & good audio on my TV, plus use VPN.  Is mac mini what I need?

    I live where I need to use VPN for streaming of radio or services like Netflix.  Works fine on Apple devices, but would rather use my normal TV (reasonably good TV, HDMI hookups, etc.).  Tiring to always mirror from my daughter's iPad, and can only mirror inconsistently from my laptop.  I also want to access my own music library, but iTunes match doesn't seem to be the best fit.
    Was thinking of getting a mac mini and using my TV as monitor + get wireless keyboard.  Does this seem like it would work?  Definitely have well under the limit of storage that the mini can hold.  I currently have Apple TV, which I love, but need more access to those things in my library when not using Apple TV.
    Basically, I want to have what I have on my laptop, but in my living room with a better screen.
    Any and all advice appreciated.

  • Can I use the macbook air superdrive with my non server mac mini?

    I recently removed the optical super drive from my early 2009 mac mini to switch to a 2 HD setup.  I have an opportunity to get a macbook air superdrive (external) for a really good deal, but I am unsure whether or not it will work.  The specs say that it will work with a min that has no optical drive, but does it matter if I removed the drive myself instead of buying the server version of the mini?

    Ahhh, you did not say that you don't have one yet. Perhaps you should csll an Apple vendor in your area and ask. Although it is supposed to work with a Mini, I don't know about a Mini from 2009 since the optical drive was not released until the 2010 MBA came out, I believe.

  • Convert Snow Leopard server mac-mini to basic Snow Leopard Mac-Mini?

    I have recently purchased a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard Server installed.  I have decided not to use it as a server and just maximise its capacity by using it just with Snow Leopard.  How do I reformat to install basic Snow Leopard software?  Thanks

    Without an optical drive of its own, a Mini Server model would require the use of an external optical drive capable of supporting OS X installation and booting. This could include another Mac capable of supporting Target Disk Mode and the use of the second computer's optical drive. Or a supported external optical drive.
    Another question may arise in the fact you would not be able to use an older OS X install disc older than the version shipped with the computer; the date of the Snow Leopard version's retail install disc would have to be newer than the SN OS X 10.6.x install DVD the machine shipped with in order to use it.
    There may be a way to do a Custom installation from the Snow Leopard Server version DVD you have. This would likely be the best bet if possible. Given the higher level tools and processes available to the Server version of OS X Snow Leopard, being able to use that is a better preference overall than Client version.
    You may be able to upgrade an internal hard disk drive to a larger capacity unit, or get and use a supported externally enclosed hard disk drive capable of supporting OS X booting and clones; these options could expand the basic use of the computer no matter what version of OS X you have running within it. Later on should you decide to experiment, a second drive for dual booting 10.6. & 10.7 could be a way to go forward.
    The accessory use of a more dedicated external optical drive for the Mini Server edition is recommended; as well as the use of an external enclosure for an additional hard disk drive for backup purposes.
    Depending on the version of standard retail Snow Leopard install DVD you may have, the ability to perform an Archive and Install should be available to you. Or perhaps a custom installation to nullify some of the more advanced parts of the Server version may be a possibility to investigate. I'd read up on what advantages a Server version of OS X can provide you, before leaving it.
    When Lion 10.7 arrives, if your computer is supported, it should be relatively easy to upgrade & install the standard version (vs Server) via an upgrade where you keep user account settings etc from the previous OS.
    Anyway hopefully this helps...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Setting resolution to 1680x1050 60Hz on Mac Mini

    I have a non-Apple display that I am using with a Mac Mini, OSX 10.5.8. This display has a native display resolution of 1680x1050. Unfortunately this is not one of the display options in System Preferences, although there are display options with an even higher resolution. Is there any way that I can force the Mac Mini to output a 1680x1050 resolution?
    Alternatively, is there some lower resolution that will be "native" for a 1680x1050 monitor? The monitor in question is a Samsung SyncMaster 2253BW.
    Thanks for your help!

    1680 x 1050 is the only resolution that will give a good picture. If OSX won't give it, you can use SwitchResX

    or DisplayConfigX

  • NAT won't start on 10.7 Server Mac Mini

    I'm new to OS X Server (started with Lion) and I'm learning a lot by trial and error so bear with me please!
    I'm running a mini with 10.7 server who's currently sitting behind an Airport Extreme Base Station. I wanted to let the server do DHCP and and let the AEBS do NAT but apparently the AEBS doesn't allow it (I've tried this workaround but it didn't work for me) so the plan was to experiment with setting the AEBS as a dumb bridge and let the server do DHCP and NAT.
    The DHCP portion seemed to work fine (Server Admin tool is showing the DHCP clients) but NAT just won't start.
    When I click on START in the GUI or try from the command line (serveradmin start nat), I get this:
    Aug  5 00:18:24 helios servermgrd[4310]: servermgr_nat: nat config:Error:Could not create Mobile Internet Sharing config} 
    Hours of googling around yielded nothing.

    Had exactly the same problem with 10.7.5, and all I could Google was this (and the copy over at Stack Exchange), and an article in Czech
    Long story short: the Czech article led me to 'pf' which led, via apple discussions, to this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5215
    Instructions for setting it up by hand (as the lower apple config files do not exist on my system, I presume they're the 'Mobile internet config' file that couldn't be created).
    I'm typing this from behind the NATWall, so it def works.
    Also, something else broke it in 10.8.2:

  • Setting up the Mac Mini (non server) with RAID 1

    I have a regular Mac Mini (Mid 2011) with Lion OS.  I would like to change the hard disk to 2 1TB drives and use RAID1 to add some reliability to my data.  Is this possible in the non-server Mac mini?  Do I need to remove all my data to convert the system to RAID1 (assuming I can)?

    Yes- Colin Jeukens posted step by step instructions back a couple of months ago. Here it is again...
    Out of the box the mini comes without Raid. You have two identical HDs of 500Gb.
    I have just set it up as Raid1. You can't do this when you use the startup disk from the mini. And as you don't have a Superdrive ... you need to be creative. You need another Mac with Firewire.
    Step 1: Start the Mini in Target Mode. Press the T during start. In a few seconds the firewire logo will appear on your screen.
