Sharing an EHD between a MBP & PC

Hi,
Western Digital 500GB
Macbook Pro 15" OSX
Dell Inspiron
Linksys Router
Above are my devices that I'm trying to sync together. I would like to have the EHD hooked up to my Mac but share it over my home network with the PC. I have no clue how to do this and I searched different forums and below was the best solution I could find.
1. plug in the external HD, make sure it mounts etc.
2. right click on the HD, choose "Get Info"
3. tick the "shared folder" option.
4. open system preferences>sharing
4.5. write down the exact name of your external hard drive.
5. tick "file sharing" then hit the "Options" button towards the bottom right of the window. tick "Share files and folders using SMB" and make sure that an account is ticked in the list below.
6. go to the networking tab and select your interface (either airport, or ethernet).
7. click on the interface that you use for internet etc and under the "Status: Connected" part it will list your IP address. write down/remember this address.
8. go to your windoze computer and open my computer.
9. hit the "tools" menu and choose "map network drive".
10. type \\192.168.0.0\exact name of your hard drive including spaces
where i have put 192.168.0.0: insert YOUR IP.
11. hit finish and see if that works... if it doesnt try going \\192.168.0.0 (change to your IP) and see how you go from there.
OK, # 3 I do not see. Once I right click on the HD icon and select "Get Info" I don't see anything about sharing.. Screencap is below:

Obviously sharing itself is not enabled on your machine. Enable file sharing in System Preferences, which should make the option appear.

How do I share data between my MBP and iMac?

I have two Genealogy programs on my iMac that I would like to share data between my MBP and the iMac. I would like to gather the data on the MBP and then share new data to the iMac which is where I basically do all of the Genealogy work from, since it is much easier with the larger screen and better keyboard.
Can someone please explain or direct me to a tutorial or procedures if this is possible? Thank You!

Click Apple>System Preferences>Sharing
Check File Sharing. In File Sharing add the folder you want to share with another computer. Then add users. Then proide access previledges such as Read & Write, Read Only, Write Only or No Access.
Now in the System Preferences, Click iCloud, sign in to iCloud. It's free and you can access your Macs from anywhere.
In iCloud, check Back to My Mac.
Do the same to another computer. You're all set by now.

Is there a way to create a shared net conn. between Airport and Ethenet?

Is there a way to create a shared internet connection between one airport computer and another via ethernet?
I have one computer (lets call this computer 'A') connected to the net via Airport which connects to a router, which is directly connected to my ADSL line.
However, my other computer (computer 'B') is not located within range of this wireless router.
Is there a way for me to send my internet connection via computer A to computer B, via an Ethernet cable or Airport connection or otherwise?
ADSL---Wireless Router---(Airport)---Computer A---(Ethernet)---Computer B

Home Sharing not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router.

Home Sharing is not working between wireless PC's / devices and ethernet wired PC's on the same router. I installed a new Verizon FIOS ActionTec MI424WR GigE wireless / ethernet router, replacing the original FIOS router. With the old router Home Sharing worked fine across and among all iOS and Windows wired and wireless devices. With the new router Home Sharing works between and among the Wired PC's but not between the wired PC's and the Wireless connected PC's or iOS devices. Home Sharing also works between and among the wireless connected PC's and iOS decices but not between them and the wired PC's.
Only the router was changed. No changes were made to any of the devices except all were updated with the latest version of iTunes 10.7.0.21 and the iSO devices were updated to iOS vrsion 6.01. Three PC's are wired and all are running Windows 7. There also is a Windows Home Server connected to the router by ethernet port. It does not run iTunes but does provide WebDAV services to my iOS devices. This works fine. Two PC's are wireless, one running Windows 7 and one running Windows 8. All of the PC's are connected to the same (new) router via it's ethernet ports and it's wireless access point. Two of the wired PC's are connected via a high-speed ethernet hup that is connected to the router (Home Sharing works fine between the two PC's on the hub and the PC on the router). All wired and wireless devices on the router are visible and members of the router's Home/Office virtual network.
All of the PC's are visible in the Windows network and all shared files are accessable from all PC's, both wired and wireless.
Obviously the router seems to be the issue, something between the ethernet and the wireless access point components. I checked the settings and found nothing that would prevent Home Sharing between the wired and wireless devices. There is no setting that isolates the wireless network. I have done the following:
Read the router user manual and checked all the settings
Rebooted the router and tested.
Turned off the router's firewall and tested.
Home Sharing is turned on all the devices and all use the same Apple ID.
Restarted iTunes and tested.
Verified iTunes is "Allowed" in each PC's firewall.
Again, I can Home Share between the two wireless PC's but not between either of the wireless PC's and any of the wired PC's. I can Home Share between my iPads and iPhones and either of the two wireless PC's but not with any of the wired PC's. I can Home Share between any of the wired PC's but not between any wired PC and a wireless PC or iOS device.
I hope someone may have had a similar problem and has a fix suggestion. I'm stumped! I have a;so contacked ActionTec and awaiting an answer.

Solution from ActionTec is:
Log into your router.
Click the Advanced icon
Cclick Yes
Click on the IGMP Proxy
Select Disable
Click Apply

My home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2.

my home sharing continually fails between mac and apple tv 2, even during watching a movie. I go to the mac to re-turn on home sharing but it is still on. Any tips? I also have to turn off and back on at the mac every time i switch on my apple tv.

Sharing Stopped working again over night.
I went to Apple Support Artical TS2972
As soon as I did this Home Sharing started working
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
Firewall Section
5. Check Firewall Settings
If you have a firewall enabled in your router or computer, make sure that the firewall is not blocking communication between your computers. Home Sharing uses TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353 to communicate with shared iTunes libraries.
In addition, Apple TV and Mac computers will use port 123 to set the time automatically. Incorrect date and time on either the computer or Apple TV can cause errors for Home Sharing and connections in general.
If you are unsure whether your router has a firewall or the required ports open, test additional devices or another network to help isolate the issue. If the devices tested work on another home network, it is your router or network configuration.
For Mac OS X, you don't have to edit the port addresses, but make sure the firewall in Apple () menu > System Preferences > Security > Firewall are not set to:
Block all incoming connections
Allow only essential services
If you use another security/firewall software on your computer or router, follow this article or contact the manufacturer or check the documentation on how to open TCP ports 123 and 3689 as well as UDP ports 123 and 5353.
It made sense to me, but its still puzzling me after restarting a router would (in my first attempt) resolve the issue for a day. This this time I applied the port forwarding TCP and UDP ports and saved the settings in the DLink DIR-655 and both my iPad2 and iPhone 3GS were now again finding the share. My ATV2 is also now accepting the Share.
Tommorrow will be the true test.

Sharing Photo's between Aperture and iPhoto and syncing to iPads, etc

Here is my problem.
I have 5 Macs (1 iMac, 4 laptops.) There are 4 people in my family and we have the family pack of iLife. The iMac is where everything sits with a time capsule and Drobo hanging off of it - about 6 TB's of data. Each Mac sync's with a variety of iPods, iTouchs and iPads. All linked to a user. So for example, all my oldest son's devices sync with only his laptop.
Well, I finally fixed my media (songs, movies, TV shows, etc) problem by leveraging home share in iTunes and authorizing all my Macs. But not so lucky yet for Photo's.
Here is the my photo dilemma.
I like Aperture for the editing and ability to handle large libraries better. So I have Aperture installed on the iMac where everything sits. iPhoto is also installed on the iMac and iPhoto is on all 4 other laptops. Prior to moving to Aperture, sharing photo's between computers was relatively easy using sharing in iPhoto - although it appears sharing in iPhoto is different than home share in iTunes. I converted my iPhoto library on the iMac to Aperture - now sharing is a pain in the neck.
Ideally, a Home Share like feature would be built into Aperture and iPhoto with another feature that would allow you to "check for new photos" on the laptops and pull them into Aperture - but wishful thinking right now.
So my while my 2 new iPads are awesome - they are basically useless for Photo's as they are synced to 2 laptops that use iPhoto, but all my Photos are in Aperture on the iMac.
Thoughts anyone????
Thanks

What was the question?

Sharing a VLAN between FWSM and ACE (Routed Mode)

Anybody in here with experience on sharing a Vlan between an ACE and a FWSM module?
I have a transfer network between the ACE and the FWSM in the same chassis. FWSM gets several vlans and ACE gets some Vlans.
I wanted to configure it like this.
firewall vlan group 10 <FWSM only vlans>
firewall vlan group 20 <shared FWSM and ACE vlan>
or
svclc vlan group 20 <shared FWSM and ACE vlan>
svclc vlan group 30 <ACE only vlans>
The design hides the client side network and the server side network for the ACE behind the FWSM module.
Layout:
|-- Clients <--> MSFC <--> FWSM <--> ACE <--> Server --|
So allocation on the 65xx would be like this.
firewall module n vlan-group 10,20
svclc module n vlan-group 20,30
Any obvious issues with this design if you share the vlan(s) referred in group 20 with both modules?
FWSM and ACE will be in routed mode.
Thanks for reading...

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

Home Sharing Purchased Applications between 2 Different Ipads

By using the Home Sharing feature I have shared Ipad applications between my Ipad and my wifes's Ipad. The first app was a purchased app and it works fine on both Ipads. However, when I shared other purchased apps they do not load when they are selected on the Ipad. Can someone confirm if you are suppose to be able to share purchased apps and if so why they will not launch when selected on the receiving Ipad?

My wife and I have two ipads and share an itunes account. I beleive that is the "supported" method of doing it. You are purchasing the app, not for use on one device, but on all your devices.
This allows you to upgrade and keep all purchased apps on the next device.
We pick and choose, but can have the same apps across both ipads wihout problems this way.
We have not attempted the Home sharing method as of yet.

We have family sharing set up between all the family idevices. Can we share either Notes or a Pages document between devices?

We have family sharing set up between all the family I devices. We want to collaborate on a document. Can we share either Notes or a Pages document between devices? We are all using iPad 2 or later and/or iPod touch or iPhone 5

The "Sharing" part of Family Sharing refers mainly to purchased content. iCloud synced content such as Notes and contacts as well as documents is not included. While I do not know of anyway to share notes, iWorks documents can be shared directly from the app via an iCloud link.

Sharing Keynote documents between two macs.

I am Sharing Keynote documents between my two macs via wi-fi, so my question , is there a potential problem of data lost when going back and for from one computer to the other. It is very important that no possible problems may happen for important lectures.....
Thanks

Ok that sounds good, Both computers should have all the fonts, no music at the moment.
I was wondering that I had data lost when transferenig keynote documents using usb memory sticks, lost of pictures, the trick that avoid that was compressing the document before placing it into the usb memory stick.....I undertood that was because of the memory stick format. So going from computer to computer through wifi should be fine...just does recomendations that you were saying. Right ?

I am unable to drag songs from a shared music library between computers. This was working until about a month ago. I have updated to the newest versions of Itunes on both computers (a macbook and an older Toshiba satellite). I have also rebooted both.

I am unable to drage songs from a shared music library between computers.   This used to work perfectly until a month ago.   I have installed the newest version of Itunes on both computers and have rebooted them, but nothing happens when I try to drag a song to another playlist or another shared folder. Any ideas how to fix this?

Have you:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If a PC
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

No. Home sharing is done from your iTunes library on your computer, not from one iDevice to another iDevice.

Shared file system between Int and ext server(DMZ) in R12.1.3 for iRec

Dear Friends,
we are using R12.1.3 and we planned to use iRec module.
so we decided to go with External web tier and it will be placed in DMZ for external users.
Is it possible to have shared file system between internal and external web server when external server is in DMZ?
Is it safe to go with shared application Tier file system between internal and external server (or) to have seperate file system in externel web tier?
Regards,
DB

Take a look at Note 380490.1 DMZ Deployment for R12.
Also For Specific Load balancer 727171.1 Up to 12.x but alot of the information is still usefull based on hardware loadbalancer
Also Note 1309013.1 has some good information on SSO/OAM Intergration with E-Business Suite
