Sharing a connection between two boxes

I have only one ethernet port in my room, but two computers. If I get a second NIC for one of them, can I set it up such that the other computer can plug into that and act as if it was effectively plugged into the port?
Most of the tutorials out there seem to be about creating full-fledged routers, but I don't want anything as complex as that. I'd prefer to have both machines receive individual IPs from the campus DHCP server, rather than assigning one machine a local address.

Easiest since you'd need to purchase a new NIC anyway, would be to just get a switch. A router would give you even more options though, but a switch would be cheaper if your on a budget (10-20$ off ebay probably).

Sharing internet connection between two Macs

I would like to enable my wife's new MacBook to share an internet connection ( wirelessly ) with my iMac G5. Both machines run OSX 10.4.8 and both have Airport cards installed as standard. I have a DSL broadband connection via a USB modem on my iMac. From what I've read this is reasonably straightforward and doesn't require any extra kit, ie create an Airport network and set the appropriate Sharing preferences etc.Is it as simple in practice? Has anyone got a similar setup working? Is there a step by step guide to achieving this?
Would greatly appreciate any help.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi,
I seem to have 'solved' the problem by turning off the firewall on my G5. Entourage is on my wife's laptop. However, I originally had the Personal File Sharing and Personal Web Sharing boxes allowed with the rest of the firewall on and this enabled my wife to access the web but not Entourage. It was only when I turned the firewall off completely that she was able to use Entourage OK. Is there another box that I should check that would let her use Entourage without me keeping the whole of the firewall off ( its not obvious which one to set )?
Thanks again.

Sharing a shared network variable between two PC's connected to a network

Sharing a shared network variable between two PC's connected to a network
Surely this shouldn’t be so difficult! I have a little LabVIEW program running in the background of PC1. The exe’s task is to collect and send OPC variables held on a SCADA system and convert them to shared network variables (as I thought that they would be easy to share over a network, easier than the nasty OPC and DCOM issues). I have PC2 which runs measurement studio and I have created a nice test VB program which either writes or reads the network variables which are on PC1. The PC1 collection software is working perfectly and when I change the values on the SCADA system I can see the network variable change on ‘NI Distributed System Manager’. I When I look at ‘NI Distributed System Manager’ on PC2 I can’t see PC1 on the list and when I use the basic measurement studio code below to read the network variable it times out at the TestVariable.connect() line.
Ok so what do I need to do to read a shared network variable sat on PC1 from PC2 on the network
Public Class Form1
Private WithEvents TestVariable As NetworkVariableSubscriber(Of Double)
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TestVariable = New NetworkVariableSubscriber(Of Double)("\\192.168.58.139\Test\TestVariable")
TestVariable.Connect()
End Sub
Private Sub TestVariable_Data_Updated(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As NationalInstruments.NetworkVariable.DataUpdatedEventArgs(Of Double)) Handles TestVariable.DataUpdated
TextBox1.Text = e.Data.GetValue
End Sub
End Class

Sorry lost all the formatting

Use snoop.
snoop -d <nic> - will give requests and replies coming/going in/out of the specified NIC.
snoop -d <nic> <MAC address of the target host> - will give requests coming from the required host.

RFC connection between two SAP systems (with SAP router)

Hi!
I would like to set up a RFC-connection from SAP Solution Manager to other SAP system.
The network connection between the servers is VPN.
How can I set up this RFC-connection, if my connection between two SAP systems looks as follows,
(I use the following SAP routers)?
my server --> customer
my server --> internal SAP Router server xy (10.101....) --> SAP Router customer 2 (10.1....) --> SAP System customer (134....)
Back-way
SAP Systeme customer --> SAP Router customer (134.1....) --> internal SAP router (212.6....) --> my server
How can I set up this RFC-connection, if my connection between two SAP systems looks as follows,
(I use the following SAP routers)?
something like:
/H/10.101..../S/sapdp99/H/10.1.4..../S/sapdp99/H/134...
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

The connection between two Tuxedo machines

We want to locate our servers(services) onto different machines, we want to know
:whether the connection,between two machines, is built up at the first time the
servers booted and kept persistently connectted, or just build up the connection
when there comes a request.

Remote machines connect to one another lazily. If you have machines A
(master), B and C, then B and C do not connect until a request is made
between B and C. All machines connect to the master at boot time.
roopesh wrote:

The connection is persistent and is not request based.
The machines communicate using BRIDGE.The DBBL which runs
on the primary master machines keep doing sanity checks
and health of BBL at all the machines connected and if
any BBL does not respond for the specified time(set by
DBBLWAIT) in RESOURCES section.then that machine gets partitioned by DBBL.
for more info you can read tuxedo documentation.
Thanks

Gprs connection between two mobile phones

Hi
is it possible to make a gprs connection between two mobile phones without a server(pc...)? when the answer "yes" please give me an exapmle...

I'm not sure, I'm just connecting some facts. I'm talking about Siemens S55. It has implemented sockets (both client sockets and server sockets). The phone, when connected via GPRS has IP address (Siemens' netmonitor reports it..). But i've never tried to use server-socket on my mobile.
So it seems that it is in fact possible on some handsets. (AFAIK nokia 6610 and similar does not support sockets...)

Connection between two clients

Hi,
I want to get some guidance on connection between two clients. Suppose I need to connect client 500 with client 900 in the same system without changing the logical names.
Thanks & Regards
Nabarun

Nabarun -
It almost sounds as if you just want an RFC to go from one client to the other. RFCs (SM59) are not client dependant so you can create one in any client. You can create one with the system name and point it to the client number using a specific user and password. I would recommend for security it be a communications user and not a dialog user depending on what you will be sending between the clients. However, the user will need the correct permissions and again, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, it may have to be a DIAG user although I would be wary. Then create a 2nd RFC pointing back to the other client. For example...
RFC 1
System Name = <System>
Client = 500
User = <userid in clnt 500>
RFC 2
System Name = <System>
Client = 900
User = <userid in clnt 900>
Then when you are in client 500, there is a path/connection to client 900 via that clients ID and password and vice versa using the appropriate RFC. Again, with out more info on what you are attempting, this may be your solution. Hope this helps. Good luck

Sharing target application between two external data connections

If I want to create two BDC connections to two separate external systems (let's say one is for HR system and one for IT admin system), can I use the same Target Application in the secure store service section if both of them use the same authentication?
Let's say both external systems allow access for 'admin1' user. Then, when setting up the external data connection I use 'impersonate windows identity' and create a target application in secure store service to map a set of users to that 'admin1' account.
When I create these two external data connections can I specify the exact same 'target application' or should I create two separate ones, one for each external system?
thanks,

Hiya,
If you want to use impersonate, you do not need to use Secure store. Impersonation is granting the service account delegation permissions. This is part of the Kerberos authentication protocol, which needs to be configured separately.
All secure store does, is to store a set of credentials encrypted. These stored credentials can be used wherever, as long as they are valid.

Connection between two Macs fails

My home-network consists of a MacPro (1,1 - 2006), a MacBook Pro (Early 2008) an a MacMini (late 2009), all running OS X 10.6.3, no software-firewall is running. My router is a LinkSys WRT 610 N which I use with ethernet (Mac Pro) and wireless (Book an Mini). Wireless is both, 2,4- and 5,0 Ghz (802.11n).
When I try to connect from the MacPro to the MacBook Pro via wireless, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The reverse connection works (Book to Pro). Sharing is enabled on every Mac, also screen sharing. If I connect the MacBook Pro via ethernetcable, it works. What could this be? Also I often cannot connect via the symbol in the sidebar of the finder, I have to use the "go to" - menu. If I want to make screen sharing I have to use "go to > vnc ...". Does anybody know these issues and can give me a hint? By the way, the connection between the two "younger" Macs (mini and book) works fine ...

_*wireless interference*_ ?
download iStumbler (free) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. change the channel(s) of your network as far away as possible from those.

MIDI over direct USB connection between two computers?

I'm trying to find out if it's possible to send MIDI between two computers using a direct USB to USB connection (no MIDI interface). I have not seen this done before, I don't think, but I don't know why it shouldn't be possible.
Thanks for any tips on making this work. I want to connect several computers together to control sound and video for a theatre production, to be triggered from a single MIDI source.

Hi,
I don't think there's something for midi over USB; however, there is an experimental tool for midi over Ethernet. It's called iMidi, and it's written foor PPC, and there's no native Intel version. I tried it with my PPC eMac and Intel iMac, but it took a lot of processing power
See http://openmuse.org/transport/mip_oview.html for more info.
You could also use a midi thru box and 2 midi interfaces to trigger 2 Macs with 1 midi source.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Jaap
