Stupid Bonjour Question, Re: VPN

okay, so i'm using a vpn, but i can still see and communicate with my bonjour buddies (and access network printers, for that matter). does being hooked up to a vpn only effect internet access? because when it's on, i can't see our exchange server - so i thought this meant i was "off the network." but if that's the case... why can i use bonjour?
sorry for being stupid...

If the the Exchange Server is an Apple Talk or more likely an SMB connection is it on the VPN ?
Bonjour is zero configuration and will show on both networks if that is how you are set up.

But makeing the connection to the computer on the other side of the router is where I am missing something or I dont realize that it is not possible. On the lan side I am using DHCP to assign the address to the computer I want to connect to. Perhaps I need to make it have a static address also? I realize that when I configure the connection from the outside that I need to direct the connection to the remote computer in some way, unless vpn connections are fully passed through the router and the connection issue I am haveing is with the "inside" computer.

  • A question about VPN Service

    A friend has asked for help setting up a Mac Mini Server he just bought for his office. He knows very little about OS X/OS X Server and thought I could help. Unfortunately, while I am familiar with OS X, I know almost nothing about OS X Server.
    All he wants OS X Server to do is file sharing and VPN. My question about VPN is this, are there any other services on OS X Server that need to be configured and running for VPN to work?
    I understand the router needs to pass VPN traffic but other than that, do I just need to set up the VPN service on the server or do other things like the OS X Server DNS Service have to be up and running as well.
    Thanks for your time.

  • IMovie and iDVD, Stupid Upgrade Questions, Sorry Must Ask

    Okay, the deal is I have a PowerMac G4 Version 2.1 with a Combo Drive. I am upgrading to Mac OSX 3.0 so I can do certain things in iMovie and acquire a better browser. (My constraints on the iMovie project about which I've been inquiring are that at least 40 people have been waiting for copies of it for about a month and wondering why I don't come through with it--I sent a lengthy explanation to the guy who'll be duplicating it in case anyone asks. That's one reason I'm in such a hurry I have to ask urgent questions at forums and newsgroups and don't take the time to read every word ever written on every one of these systems and their various applications, abilities, and uses.)
    I started out thinking I was about one step from having a completed project and the more I learn, the more grim the situation looks. Yet I've done ALL THIS WORK already to create beautiful titles and elaborately-edited outtakes. I HATE to ditch it all if any faint hope flickers into sight!
    My Mac came with the following:
    iMovie 3.0.3 -- which seems to be working fine, only problem is, due to deficiencies in other equipment, I'm having trouble getting my movie to DVD or into any other form where it can be played anywhere outside the Mac!
    iDVD 2.1 -- My feeble brain, inadequate as it may be, has so far gathered the information that to go to DVD, a project can't be played in iMovie and sent straight to a DVD burner (can it?) There has to be some intermediary step. (Right?) People have argued the various merits of iDVD vs. Toast to accomplish this step. I hadn't opened my copy of iDVD because I am in no way near the point of being ready to make a DVD--I have not yet finished editing the project in iMovie. I made the hideous error of ASSUMING that since this came installed in my Mac, it would work fine when needed, just as iMovie did. When I tried to open it just to see what version I had, it wouldn't open and told me this:
    System Requirements
    iDVD 2 requires a PowerMac G4 computer with 256 Megs of RAM, a built-in DVD-R Superdrive and Mac OS 10.1.3 or later.
    Stupid redundant bonus question #1: WHY would this come installed on a Mac which lacks the hardware to use it? (iMovie could still be used to edit, and then copy projects--if I had a digital video camera--which I don't. The only other way we've figured is to send it back through the Canopus ADVC110 converter I used to get the video in there, and play it out to a VCR--a cumbersome process I've been assured will result in crummy quality.)
    Okay, here are the REAL questions:
    1. I don't suppose there's any way the Canopus could be connected to the DVD burner and the information sent to a DVD that way? Just asking.
    2. Obviously the upgrade isn't going to fix things to make iDVD work, as I'm already using Mac OSX 10.2.8, so I would assume its discontent stems from not having the Superdrive--at least, it was complaining something about inadequate hardware and I think that's what it meant. Will connecting a DVD burner via FireWire convince iDVD to work (either automatically or after some sort of tweaking), or am I stuck replacing the drive? I bought a DVD burner the minute I realized my drive was a Combo Drive and not a Superdrive (which is the first time I stuck a blank DVD in it and nothing happened) before learning details about this intermediary step and that there is more than one way to accomplish it.
    3. Is it even worth replacing the Combo Drive with a Superdrive or is it more worth buying a whole new Mac? If I am FORCED to buy a new Mac, what should I do with the old one? (Not only am I ethically opposed to tossing a perfectly good piece of electronic equipment into the ravine, I might get fined for littering. Can a good home be found for it? For that matter it would be a pain as I've saved all sorts of stuff to the Hard Drive which would have to be transferred to the new one before I could get rid of the old one. So can I keep the old one...PLEASE?)
    4. After making the system upgrade, will I be able to bypass iDVD entirely by using Toast, or does Toast also have all sorts of requirements my hardware does not possess so I'll still be SOL, stuck replacing drives or even the whole Mac, or going directly to crummy-quality VHS as there is NO OTHER WAY OUT?
    5. After making the system upgrade, would I be ready for more advanced versions of iMovie and iDVD? Are any upgrades free, or does every improvement cost? Do I get them all at the Apple site, order some of them from some supplier or other the way I did with the Mac OSX upgrade, or what?
    Thanks for helping to clear up my massive confusion!!!

    Wow, thanks. It's good to know iDVD is still an option, even if I don't buy the Superdrive (is that even possible, to get the Combo Drive taken out of my current Mac and a Superdrive put in? There's a question still unanswered.)
    (I think this is good to know--because part of my reasoning in asking the question was to eliminate one option or the other, and now I'm ending up with options of options, but hold on for Part 2 as I do have some questions concerning the capabilities of iDVD and Toast.)
    Partly answering one of my own questions (although I'd appreciate confirmation from someone who actually knows,) if these Toast 7 requirements mean what I think they do, I don't see anywhere that it says the computer MUST have a Superdrive and CAN'T use an external DVD burner!
    Toast 7 Titanium
    Requirements:
    * PowerPC G4 processor or faster (G5 recommended for viewing DivX files on your Mac)
    * PowerPC G3 processor and Mac OS 10.2 users, see Toast 6 Titanium or Popcorn
    * Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later
    * 300 MB of free disk space to install
    * Up to 15 GB of temporary free disk space during usage
    * QuickTime 7 or later
    * CD or DVD burner and recordable media
    If this is true (that I can use an external DVD burner) I like Toast already! My Quicktime Player is only version 6.5.2--is it going to be difficult, expensive, or both, to upgrade that? If it is or the other System Requirements are not met I can just go with Toast 6.
    As far as those requirements, I promise you I don't understand a word of it but here is what my System Profiler says my Mac has. Maybe someone can make sense of it and help me decide which version of Toast to get or, if not, what to do:

    One thing which may really sway me in favor of Toast is, will it make possible burning 2-hour DVDs? Supposedly iDVD will not enable anything longer than 90 minutes, and when I get to the other big project for which I really want to use the Canopus ADVC 110 converter, that is, converting my home movies from either VHS or 8mm video camera tape to DVD--well, ALL of my tapes are two hours long, because that's the way they come!! I don't see being limited to making 90-minute DVDs as anything but another GIANT PAIN of which I'm already amply supplied! So if Toast will fix this dilemma I'm ALL FOR IT!
    As always, thanks for help and advice.

  • Total Mac Virgin with a stupid, simple question:

    There are no stupin questions, just stupid people, so here it goes. I'm trying to post an image on MySpace from iPhoto. I rotated it 90 degrees and it looks right in iPhoto, but when I upload it, it's ****-eyed. Someone please help. I'm a GenX'er but I feel like a geezer having to ask for help.

    Hi, fellow GenX'er.
    A couple of things could cause this. First, in which application did you rotate the image? Some apps, like Preview, don't change the source file, but rather tag the image for display. So when you export you see it unrotated. Rotating in iPhoto does create a rotated file which will look correct when exported. As long as you haven't done it in Preview prior to import, that is.
    That get us to the 2nd possibility. How did you access the file when uploading? If you went through the iPhoto library files, you may have taken the wrong file. The Original may be unrotated, the Data too small... the edited version is in the Modified folder. Instead of grabbing from the library, it is recommended that you select the image in iPhoto and File > Export > File Export to a folder on your desktop, then upload from there (trash the desktop copy when done). This ensures that you are choosing the correct, full-sized, edited image. When exporting you also have the option to resize for a more web-appropriate file.

  • Combo unix ssh port forwarding + iChatAV + Bonjour question

    I don't know which forum is best for this question, so thought I'd try here first.
    I've been tossing around the idea of picking up a couple of iSights and running iChatAV. Problem is, if I understand this correctly, iChatAV uses a couple of ports for connections to third-party servers: AOL buddy server or Jabber server, a port for something called snatmap, a port for SIP, and some other stuff. Plus, it requires that you open up nearly 20 ports on your network for the AV traffic! (I get nervous just having my non-standard ports for smtp and ssh open, and my imaps port open (which is another issue -- anybody know how to change imaps port 993 to a non-standard port if running uw-imap server?) It doesn't look like iChatAV can, normally, operate by "calling up" an IP address or hostname...it always has to set up calls using AOL or Jabber...unless, perhaps, the destination iSight/iChatAV is on your own Bonjour-capable subnet.
    So, I'm thinking, what if a calling party created a ssh tunnel and port-forwarded the dozens of UDP and couple of TCP ports over a ssh tunnel, as a lengthy list of port forward options like "-L 5297:localhost:5297 -L ...", (assuming that the forwarding host, to whom the caller ssh's, is the same computer that is running iChatAV, hence, the remote host specification in the "-L" option of "localhost"). Would the caller then be able to treat the connection like Bonjour networking and when he calls localhost on his end of the circuit, it "bonjours" to the called hostname's localhost and thus a peer-to-peer connection would be made?
    Or perhaps a reverse port forward tunnel ("-R" options) could be set up in advance by the "to-be-called" party, and then the calling party initiates a iChatAV call as a "same-subnet-as-calling-computer-via-Bonjour" type of call?
    I'm just kicking around some thoughts here; I don't know enough about the intricacies of iChatAV and Bonjour (and ssh) to really know all the "gotchas" and I'd like to get the planning done with a high degree of confidence of success before I plunk out $300 on two iSights.
    If the general concensus of the group moderator and others on this forum is that this question should be posted in another forum, I apologize, and I'll move, but I thought that the ssh tunneling nature of my inquiry (and my unrelated side question about how to change 993 to a non-standard port) made this forum the obvious, and best, choice.
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts on these issues!

    No, you can't do what you describe. You have to use port forwarding on the router for any incoming connections, and each port forward rule can only map to a single server/service.
    However, SSH has the ability to tunnel other connections, so it may be possible to remove one or more of the existing port forwarding rules and replace them with a SSH rule, then use SSH tunneling to get to those services. Of course, this will only work for services that only you (or other authorized users) need to access, and not public services such as web/http traffic (assuming you're running a public web site).
    The only other option would be to replace your router with one that doesn't have such a strict limit on the number of port forwarding rules.

  • Can't see bonjour services from VPN access

    Hi,
    i've got several Macs and devices on my local network at sub-network 192.128.1.x (router at 192.168.1.1).
    With my Macbook air for instance, Finder automatically find all my devices (macs, router, windows PC, NAS...) and they are in left folder of the Finder View.
    When i'm out of my home, i connect my Macbook to my home network through an VPN server (PPTP). The mapping of this VPN is 192.168.2.x.
    I can mount my remote devices through manual commande (Alt K in finder - connect to...) which are in the 192.168.1.x subnet.
    But the Finder can't see them automatically,
    is there a way to setup Bonjour Services, or subnets, or FInder automatic browsing, to find all my devices like if i were at home ?
    Thanks for any advice

    So you are use an separate account(not admin) on this mac
    Bonjour usually picks up the name of the computer in sys prefs/sharing.
    Edit: just checked and its getting it from the address book, so the MEcard is yours.

  • Stupid security question answers.

    I have read the "Rescue email and reset Apple ID security questions" article so many times and also added new rescue emails to my account, but I still can't change the security question answers. I have money on my account that just sits there. I have tried a few months ago and since then i still can't do anything but download free stuff. I have recieved no email about reseting anything and would like to get a better answer then the stupid apple one.

    A rescue email address is not the same thing as an alternate email address - they are different settings/addresses, and a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you didnt already have a rescue email address set up on your account then see if the instructions on this user tip helps younger the questions reset : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Stupid spelling question

    Hello. I appologise for the stupid question.
    How to spell "arch"?
    I look at the logo and it looks like an arc, so I thought it colud be [ark]. But it seems more seasonable to me to say [arch] as a regular word, moreover I've heared someone sayng it that way.
    Which is the correct one? Thank you

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arch
    oh, and i suppose you pronounce it the way it's written, so that's arch, not ark

    This proably seems like a stupid question but I am told you can use a PS3 Controller with my 2009 MBP, and I am also told that you can use a wired XBOX 360 controller or wireless if you have a reciever and the correct drivers, but XBOX uses IR when PS3 use bluetooth, so PS3 would work but so should the XBOX because my MBP has an IR reciever?
    (If that makes no sense: can I use my WIRELESS XBOX contoller WITHOUT the reciever but WITH the drivers?

  • Stupid terminal question

    Hi,
    I have a stupid question, are terminals bi-directional? That is, can a terminal
    do input as well as output? How do I distinguish? If a sub vi has a numeric
    INDICATOR wired to a terminal, that makes it an input, but if it is a numeric
    control wired to a terminal it is then an output? I need to get data that
    was set in a main panel into a sub vi in the diagram, as I said in my last
    post, but I cannot seem to do it. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks
    very much

    See my post to your previous question.
    This input, output, control , indicator, business is confusing for new users.
    A terminal (on the connector pane) will be can be *Either* an input or an
    output (but not both at the same time). This is determined by what you
    wire to it.
    Now here is the tricky part. When you do this on SubVis the terminals
    *APPEAR* to be the opposite of what you wire to them. When we talk
    about these it is best to refer to the controls / indicators, as sources and
    sinks.
    One is the source of data , the other is the sink of the data. The role that the
    control or indicator takes depends on where you look at it in the data flow chain.
    Here is a simple example.
    VIMain has Sub1 and Sub2 on its diagram.
    Sub1 has a control#1, wired to indicator#1. Control#1 is on the left terminal
    and indicator#1 is on the right terminal. Sub2 looks exaclty the same, except
    the items are named Control#2 and Indicator#2.
    I drop these on VImain and wire from the right terminal of Sub1 to the left
    terminal of Sub2.
    I set the value of control#1 , and run VIMain. Control#1 sources the value and
    Indicator#1 sinks it.
    Since this is tied to Sub2, Indicator#1 immediately *Sources* the value,
    Control#2, sinks it.
    Control#2 *Sources* the value and Indicator#2 sinks the value and all Vis stop.
    If you always wire Controls to the left hand terminals and Indicators to the Right
    hand terminals
    it makes it much easier. Also turning on the help and passing the cursor over a
    subVI will show
    you what these terminals are tied to. If the wire goes to the left this is a
    control and is the SubVIs *INPUT*
    if the wire goes to the right it is tied to an Indicator and is the SubVIs
    *OUTPUT*.
    Hope this makes it a little more clear.

  • Bonjour/zeroconf via VPN

    Trying to set up the VPN server to access my home network when away.  After switching it on, configuring my MacBook, and connecting from an outside network, I was surprised not to see any Bonjour services advertised (e.g., in the Finder sidebar); nor was I able to resolve "Foo.local" host names, the way I would be able to on my home network.  I could still connect to things with a local IP address (10.0.21.*), so the basic connection seemed to be working.
    Is this expected behavior?
    IF SO, are there any settings I can use, extra utilities I can install, etc., to enable access to Bonjour services via a VPN connection?  It would be a shame if it's not possible, since almost everything on my local network is accessed with Bonjour.  I guess the alternative is to assign well-known IP addresses to everything and manually connect to those as needed.  Yuck.
    IF NOT, what are likely explanations for what's going wrong?  I'm aware of the potential for conflicts between IP ranges, and confirmed that the two ranges were different (10.0.0.* at the remote site, 10.0.21.* in my home network).  I tried reordering the services in my MacBook's System Preferences (under "Network") so that the VPN was first, or last, but that didn't seem to help.  Maybe there's just something obvious I'm overlooking?

    The VPN software built-in to OS X is mainly Racoon but heavily customised by Apple. Apple's instructions say to use a separate range of IP addresses for VPN clients.
    In theory yes you could use a range of IP address in the same subnet as your LAN as long as they do not overlap your DHCP server issued range or any or in use addresses. However everyone's experience is that regardless of this Bonjour as standard does not work across the VPN link. The only option that might help is as I mentioned to look at setting up Wide Area Bonjour but this is not something I have done myself.
    Not that it may suit you but for a related use of remote controlling Macs via Screen Sharing, one can use Apple Remote Desktop (the admin version) to scan an IP range and find all the available Macs. This does not rely on the Bonjour approach used by the Finder to find Macs offering Screen Sharing.

  • Bonjour conflicts with VPN

    I have a Macbook Pro with Windows Vista installed on it. Vista has no problem printing to my Airport network through Bonjour. Where I run into a problem is when I am connected to work through a VPN on the Windows side. When I try to print something from work, the work printer, which is really a reference to my local network printer, creates a HobLink file. From everything that I can gather, this HobLink file is encrypted, and Bonjour has a conflict with it. So, in essence, if I establish a VPN with my office on the Windows side, I cannot print to anything. Does anyone know a work around to this HobLink/Bonjour conflict? Thanks.

    I am not sure this is HobLink related. Do you use HobLink to connect to terminal servers at work? That's apparently what it's for: "HOBLink JWT is the time saving, cost-efficient and web-based answer for fast, multi-user access to centrally located Windows applications and data on Windows Terminal Servers from Apple Macintosh's OS X."
    In general, Bonjour does not work over VPN connections because the Bonjour broadcast packets are not passed. I am not sure if this is a limitation of VPN or just the routers, which also do not pass Bonjour packets between subnets on a local network by default.
    Update: I just found this informative discussion on MacOSXHints about this topic: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080626194901370

    Hello,
    I am working with vpn setups for the first time, so I have some questions I would really appriciate some help with. I would like to be able to connect to a computer on a home network through a linksys E2500 router. I have found alot of documentation on connecting to an external vpn from a computer on the lan side of the router, but nothing on connecting from the outside in. The router does have a static ip address with my internet provider, so I can contact the router from the outside. But makeing the connection to the computer on the other side of the router is where I am missing something or I dont realize that it is not possible. On the lan side I am using DHCP to assign the address to the computer I want to connect to. Perhaps I need to make it have a static address also? I realize that when I configure the connection from the outside that I need to direct the connection to the remote computer in some way, unless vpn connections are fully passed through the router and the connection issue I am haveing is with the "inside" computer.

  • DHCP question on VPN to ASA 5520

    Our VPN uses the Microsoft VPN client to connect to an ASA 5520 running 8.0(3). Clients get address from our internal DHCP server. How do I get the ASA to send the client computer name in the DHCP request, rather the the group name and some number it appends to it? This is an issue for us because those entries show up as "rogue" registrations in DNS, because they don't match our naming structure.

    Make sure if the client is forwarding it's name in the DHCP messages. Parameters can't be added at ASA.
