SHOULD EDITING COMPUTERS BE HOOKED TO ACCESS THE WEB CONSTANTLY?

Hi... I come from the school of thought that video editing workstations should not be hooked contantly to a systemwide network that would open the workstation to web access... Does anyone else agree? If so, I need expert justifications of the reasons why a video editing workstation should not be connected constantly to a network that accesses the web. I would really appreciate it.

Actually, Macs can get viruses although the risk is certainly much lower than with Windows machines. In my experience the most frequent virus problems on Macs are Word & Excel macro viruses, which unfortunately get propagated all too often via email attachments. (And I can attest to that happening in school settings even with security appliances and antivirus servers in the network.)
The bigger question w/r/t a video editing workstation is that ANY activity on the machine outside the editing application can affect critical functions at inopportune moments especially during capturing, rendering & output.
My advice is that when you are working in FCE, 1) disconnect from the network (easy to do with a Location that has no network access assigned to it) and 2) shut down all other programs on your Mac ... and by the way that includes all Automatic Updates ... and Spotlight (the easy way to 'shut down Spotlight' is to list all your hard drives in Spotlight's "Prevent Spotlight from searching these locations" list.

Can't access the web but can screen share and secure shell on my network???

Hi,
I don't know if this is relevant, but I installed a security patch along with a safari patch the other day and the next morning, I could not access the internet, however I can do things like screen share and ssh. I cannot however view internal websites on my network, whether I'm connected via airport or ethernet cable (attached to either time capsule or the modem directly). Whenever I try to go to a website in either firefox or Safari, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the internet and a "Network Diagnostics" button (which says it cannot fix my problem). Here is what I've tried:
-Repair Disk (everything OK)
-Repair Permissions
-Restart computer
-Turn Airport card off then on
-Restart modem and routers, one by one in daisy chain order (and then restarted computer)
-Tried different browsers
-Tried connecting directly to modem via Ethernet cable in addition to wireless
-Restored the System from a time-capsule backup from Sept. 6th (noticed the problem on the 10th)
-Turned off my firewall
-Created a new user account and tried it
-Let my computer remain off for a half hour
-Zapped the p-ram
Here's what I've confirmed I CAN'T do:
-Access the web via either Safari or firefox (haven't tried any other browsers)
-Access the Software Update Server
-My iCal calendars cannot access the webdav server
Surprisingly, here's what I've confirmed I CAN do:
-Ping other computers on my network
-Use the Screen Sharing App. with computers on my network
-Access the internet from every other computer on my network (4 of them)
-ssh to other computers on my network
I've been using my computer infrequently lately, and I'm not sure when the last time was I accessed the internet or for that matter when I performed the security patching, but I'm pretty sure it was within the last week and a half. I really don't want to try restoring from an earlier backup, but I'm reaching the end of my rope. Anyone have any other ideas? I'm fresh out.
Rob

The problem was either the Security Patch 2010-005 or the Safari update (though I don't have the version number in front of me). Note, I had ignored the iTunes 10 update. I assume that I must have miscalculated the date I performed the updates because the problem persisted after restore from a Sept. 6th backup off my time capsule.
I went to the Apple Store and they were able to restore full internet access by performing a 10.5.8 combo-update. When we ran Software Update at the Apple Store, the 3 updates were again there available for download, but I am going to ignore them all because of this issue. The people at the apple store agreed that it was the update which caused the problem.

Can't Access the web administration page

Hello,
I have a new Linksys router that I installed a few months ago. I am trying to connect my PS3 using wireless. the PS3 sees the access point SSID, but keeps failing to connect. I have double/triple check the WEP2 key and it is correct. I am also having problems accessing the web administration page. I keep getting page not found. I don't think that I have access the web administration page since I set it up. I can ping the router, so I know that its up, along with getting out to the Internet, I have used NMAP and scanned the router, but only 10080 is open (PS3) port. I assume that the default URL for the web administration page is http://192.168.1.1. There is no port needed to put in the URL is there? Also, since NMAP showed no ports open does that mean that the web server in the router is not listen? If so how do I connect without having to reset the router?
I do have some Cisco Linksys app that shows a GUI of my network, but no adminisration help.
Thanks,

Who is your ISP..?
Are you able to go online on the wired computer...?
Make sure the computer is connected to the router on the Ethernet port and check the ip address first...Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then,Adjust the browser settings....Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
Now,try to open the setup page again...

There should be a User Agent Switcher menu item under Tools, which gives you the browser names you can impersonate.
The menu item name changes to the browser UA you are presently using.
There is also a User Agent Switcher button, you can add it using View -> Toolbars -> Customize, and dragging the button to your toolbar.
See http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/features/ and http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/help/
You can just start trying IE versions (or the versions it says on the site) until it lets you in.

If you were using Apple's BootCamp and received this message, quit it and open Disk Uility in your Applicaitons/Utilities folder.
Select the Macintosh HD partition on the left and select Erase and Erase Free Space > Zero option and let it complete (important) this will check the spare space for bad sectors that can cause issues formatting partitions.
Once it's completed, try creating a partiton again in BootCamp.
If that doesn't work, then hold command option r keys down while connected to a fast internet connection, Internet Recovery should load (spinning globe) and then in that Disk Utility, select your entire internal drive and click > First Aid > Repair Disk and Permissions.
reboot and attempt Bootcamp again.
If you still get a error, it might be that you have OS X data on the bottom area where BootCamp partition needs to go. This would occur if you had the drive or computer for a long time or wrote a large amount of files to the drive and nearly filling it up and then reduced some, but it left traces in the area BootCamp needs to go.
To fix this
BootCamp: "This disc can not be partitioned/impossible to move files."

How do I access the web utility with model cisco sf302-08p ?

Hi,i have a problem with the model Cisco SB SF302-08PP Switch , i connect a cable rj45 to my pc and configure the adapter local area connection (ip address:192.168.1.252), the LEDs blink green, and go to the address bar and get the IP by default, which according to the manual is 192.168.1.254 and the result is: page not found. Is there any way to change the web utility? How do I access the web utility?

restore the switch by holding more than 30 seconds and try accessing with ip 192.168.1.254. username and password is "cisco". before change your base ip to 192.168.1.2-253.try to ping and check the connectivity

How to access the Web Service Browser

Hi,
I need to access the Web Service Browser to generate a Web Service Description.
How can I do it?
I use the follow url:
http://<host_name>:<port_number>/sap/bc/bsp/sap/WebServiceBrowser/search.html?sap-client=<relevant_client>
but I can't say how to determine values for the three placeholders.
Help me please.
THANKS

Hi Andrea,
you can access the web services in sap transaction SICF. Then right click on the
service and choose "test". The hostname is the host on where the sap system
runs.
The port ´number can be seen in transaction SMICM -> shift + F1. Here you can see
the portnumer assigned to the HTTP protocol.
And the client is the sap client (standard client) for which the service is configured.
Hope this helps.
KR,
Andreas

Thow to tether iPad to MacBook to access the web from the MacBook?

Am I missing something obvious here, or is this not possible?
There are plenty of posts on the web about how to tether an iPad to a phone, but I want to access the web from a MacBook, using my iPad's 3G access.
Is this possible? How?

To use it on the iPhone you enable it via the phone's Settings menu - the iPad doesn't have the same option in Settings so there is no way to turn it on/off, and therefore no way to share the iPad's connectivity with other devices.

Error: "Cannot access the web server" with BlazeDS Turnkey

Help! I'm new to Flex and BlazeDS and Eclipse. I was trying to setup a Flex Project using a BlazeDS/Tomcat server running from Eclipse on Windows XP per the example in flexbandit.com/archives/55#comment-269 and in (www.infoq.com/articles/blazeds-intro).   I am NOT using the Eclipse Flex plug-in. I'm using Flex Builder for the Flex code.
Here's what I've done:
I installed BlazeDS and tested http://localhost:8400 - That worked.
I setup Tomcat in Eclipse. - That seemed to work.
I created a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse - That seemed to work.
I created the bare-bones BlazeDS Configuration under the Eclipse project and then created a basic HelloWorld java class.
I added the destination in the “remoting-config.xml” file found in the c:/projects/workspace/ReportGenTool/WebContent/WEB-INF/flex” directory:
<destination id="HelloWorld">   <properties> <source>HelloWorld</source> </properties> </destination>
When I started the application server by clicking on the server's green play button in Eclipse and then tried to open localhost:8400/ReportGenTool, I got the 404 error : The requested source (/ReportGenTool/) is not available which according to the instructions is fine.
Next I created a Flex Project, but when I try to validate the new Flex project configuration, it gives me an error "Cannot access the web server. The server may not be running, or the web root folder or root URL may be invalid."
When I validated the server was running after setting up the BlazeDs Turnkey, I saw the BlazeDS page.
Now when I bring up http://localhost:8400 I get:
      Directory Listing for /
      Apache Tomcat/6.0.14
My eclipse project is named ReportGenTool and I've overwritten the WebContent directory with the META-INF and WEB-INF directories from the BlazeDS installation (C:\blazeds\tomcat\webapps\blazeds). According to Eclipse the server is running.
My Flex project is named ReportGenTool and is located in another directory away from the Eclipse project directory.
     My root folder is: C:\Projects\workspace\ReportGenTool\WebContent
     Root URL: is http://localhost:8400/ReportGenTool/
     Context root is: /ReportGenTool/
Any idea what might be wrong? What didn't I configure that needs to be configured?
Thanks in advance.

This is not working because your router has a direct to your web server that is not through the outside interface which is needed for nat to occur, for this to work you need to setup a loopback interface as nat outside and policy route traffic to there for your server traffic
Bu if your server is internal why do you need nat at all? Can you not use bind with views that might be simpler

Is there a way to access the web-based setup for my router if I cannot access the internet?

Okay, I need to change the ip address settings on my router. I have a WRT54G Wireless router. I cannot access the internet on my computer connected to the router, and do not know how to change the router settings without accessing the web-based setup page. So, back to my question. Is there a way to access this page if I cannot connect to the internet?

On the back of the router is a small reset switch. Using a paper clip or other small item, press the switch in and hold it for a few seconds. This will reset the router to the default IP address of 192.168.1.1. Enter that address in your web browser, and be sure your computer is attached to the router by an Ethernet cable. Don't attempt to do this using the wireless connection.
Once you have reached the web configuration utility you can change the DHCP settings.
To give your PC a static IP address you will need to open your network connections panel and, assuming your using Windows XP, make the changes from dynamic IP to static there.

Reg accessing the webi reports from visual C#

Hi,
I m using visual studio 2005 c#.Can some one throw lights on how to access the webi reports using this environment....
Thanks & Regards
Rakul Alagu.

Thank you for you reply! So there is no way to access a Crystal Reports Server from an arbitrary application using URLs out of the box? I would have to implement this "automated access" feature inside the server by myself. Is this correct?
If this is the case, I think I will do the whole report generation without a dedicated Crystal Reports Server. I have compared different alternatives for replacing the old RDC component of the C++ application described above. I think the best way would be to replace it via the JRC API of CR4E 2.0. In this case, I would have to access the Java API via JNI or by calling an external Java program, which generates and exports the reports.
In both cases (CR Server vs. JRC API) I would have to implement new application logic. But a dedicated Crystal Reports Server needs to be maintained and administered... And I think the Crystal Reports Server would be a bit oversized for my purposes (generating and exporting reports)...
If somebody has got other suggestions for replacing the RDC component (CR XI R2) inside a C++ application in order to use this application under Linux, I would be thankful .

Black screen when trying to access the web

I'm having problems accessing the web on my 2nd generation iPod Touch. When I tap on the 'Safari' icon I get a black screen. The WiFi is working fine; I can access and use my Facebook, WeatherBug, Google Earth using their icons no problem, for example. It's when I tap on the Safari I get a black screen. There is a full signal.
Thanks for you help.

I have tried to restore your iPod yet? You could start with a reset (Home and Sleep/Wake buttons held down until you see the Apple logo) but I think you are going to have to restore (via iTunes). When prompted to restore from a backup or new, start with backup so you won't lose anything.
