Two Macs one internet connection only one will connect

I'm trying to connect a Powerbook (via Aiport ) and a Mac Pro (via Ethernet - I also have a Airport option) to the internet at the same time.
The Mac Pro will connect (using either option) but the Powerbook is recieving a full signal but 'cannot connect to the server'
I'm assuming it may be a sharing problem but I'm now confused!?! - sorry..

Ignore me - I've sorted it!
It was a sharing problem

    This is not what you have in mind, but it will work.
    Create a server that listens for connections from a client. Create a list of commands that can be issued by client to view information. Such a list in your case would be similar to the following:
    Open
    ChageDir
    Rename
    CreateDir
    DeleteDir
    ListDir
    Next, you need to implement the processes that will actually do the command on the remote computer. When the client issues the "ListDir" command, then adds a line (the path of the directory to list) the server should then do this (vary simple, but you get the idea):
    File file = new File(theDirectory);
    if (file.isDirectory()) {
    String[] list = file.list();
    socketOutputStream.println("Directory " + theDirectory);
    for (int i=0; i<list.length;i++) {
    socketOutputStream.println(list);
    socketOutputStream.flush();
    So, you should get the idea from this. For each command, have a method to handle the actual work on the server-side, then have the server send the resulting data back to the client for display. Notice how much this looks like DOS. It's the same idea - a command line interface (called a CLI).

  • Two laptops - one will connect to the internet and the other one will not

    I have two home laptops.  Both show as connected to my network with full signal.  However, when you attempt to open the internet, one laptop will not open and the other one will.  I have tried connecting with just the cord from the router to the laptop and it doesn't work; I have tried looking up the IP address and one laptop address is different from the other - I don't know if this should be this way or not; I have tried doing the start, run, cmd, ipconfig, and I got 4 replies, but when I typed in ping space yahoo.com, I did not get the replies on the computer that will not go on the internet, but did get the replies on the other laptop.  I don't know what else to do - please give me some ideas.

    Make sure the IP address is set to DHCP, and browser is not configured for any proxy server.

  • Two macs, one can connect to iPhone update server, one cannot

    We have multiple macs and iphones in the house.  One mac can connect to the iphone update server without any problems.  the other cannot.  Both are on the same network.  Both have identical firewall settings.  One mac can manually download the iphone update file; the other cannot.  Anyone have any idea what could be keeping the other mac from connecting to the download server?  The other mac has no network problems with any other sites, only Apple's download server.
    Suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Software Update is not offering me any Airport updates on the G4 (or the Intel).
    The recent Airport Update, "AirPort Extreme Update 2007-001", is of course only for Intel Macs.
    They could only be "trying to use the same IP address" if they were not configured to use DHCP, but they are configured to use DHCP, and whichever connects does get an address in the 10.0.1.[2-200] range so I think that's not the problem.

  • Two Macs, one is on the wireless network, one isnt.

    To make a long story short, i have a mac pro, and a mac book pro. The router im using is a airport express. The mac book pro works no problem, and i just installed the wireless card in the mac pro, and it doenst see the router. The computer reconizes the hardware, but no internet connection. These two computers arent networked or anything. I just bought the card, slapped it in, and expected it to work like all apple stuff does. Im shure this is a redundent question, but i could not find the information i was looking for by searching.
    Thanks!

    OK. Could be you have to buy an external antenna option from places like
    QuickerTek and others to expand the otherwise weak wi-fi range in the Pro
    tower; since there are options for sale by vendors and direct online.
    The wi-fi and bluetooth are said to be options in the Mac Pro; too bad the
    Apple option does not include a port (then) if one is lacking to facilitate this
    need to connect from the tower wirelessly to an internet access point this
    wireless card and defective antenna location inconveniently provide a user.
    The old option of running ethernet to the base station may be the best bet,
    even if it will make that Pro slower to access data on a network than the
    specfication speeds they suggest wireless transfers can run. Funny, some
    one in these forums posted an image of the antenna on the back of a tower
    when the question of wireless problems and the Mac Pro first came up.
    I'd almost suggest it was you; but it seems like that's alot of trouble for
    an arguement.

  • RAID NAS and Three Authorized Computers Two MAC  ONE PC

    Hi All,
    So I have some time off from work for the holiday. My goal is two have one main library of music that both my kids and I can share.
    They have Macbooks and I have a PC. We are all networked here and I have a Dell Raid NAS that I am planning on storing all the music on.
    Right now the main library is stored on my Windoze PC and a Briefcase copy is kept on the RAID server. That is for all intents and purposes the main file.
    I plan on redirecting Itunes on my PC to look at that library as the main store.
    I also plan on having both the kids Mac's look to that store as well.
    I do have some questions that I think I have the answer to at least one.
    1) if Child A makes a purchase on her machine when it is not physically connected to the RAID server, I believe that Itunes on the macbook will then save it LOCALLY then when I CONSOLIDATE it will move it to the main RAID STORE.
    This one I am not sure about......
    2) if child A makes a purchase on her machine WHILE connected to the RAID server main store Itunes will store the file on the main RAID STORE. However, when child B's Macbook starts and she starts itunes will her itunes see the file that child A purchased in her list of music.
    I guess in the nutshell the question is if multiple CPU's are looking at a MAIN storage library and if one machine makes an addition, to the library. When the other Itunes start will it scan the libray and be updated with the addition?
    Thanks for the help
    Nick

    Let's say, I would like to NOT use the old PPC Mac Mini as the input method for new music.
    I would like to leave the iTunes library where it is (on an external HDD) and simply point the new iMac to this library and update it as necessary. I want to know how can it be done by leaving the external HDD connected to the old Mac Mini.
    Does it make sense?
    Thanks!

  • Two Macs, one library, no file moving?

    Hi,
    I have two Macs and would like to be able to share the same set of songs between them, with additions and deletions kept in sync. If I put all the songs in a Firewire drive connected to one, and then point both iTunes to the same directory AND uncheck the "Copy files to iTunes..." in Preferences/Advanced will I get the results I hope for? And if I leave "Keep Foler organized..." checked will it still list songs by album and artist, etc, if I have them named correctly? Or does iTunes need its own directory structure to accomplish this? I don't want it to start moving or copying things around without my sayso. Reminds me too much of Windows!
    Mike

    Theoretically this is possible.
    When you launch any a copy of iTunes which you'd like to use that library, hold down the option key while double clicking the iTunes icon. This should present a dialogue box that gives you the option to choose a library. You browse to the library file on the external drive and voila.
    Each machine has to be "authorised" to work with that computer and I believe the maximum number is five. This is achieved by going into Store->Authorise inside iTunes.

  • Port Forwarding for Two Macs, one Airport Extreme and one Dynalink RTA1320

    I had previously set up PortForwarding for some of my Applications on my iMac with an Ethernet connected Dynalink RTA1320 Modem by assigning myself a Static IP in the iMac`s Network Preferences.
    All had been good, green smilies on Azureus when D/Ling bitorrents, Skype, WoW and Limewire all running fine.
    I`ve now just recently purchased the latest Airport Extreme and 17" MacBook Pro.
    Setting up a Wireless Network for the two Macs to access the internet was a breeze and both computers run fine online simultaneously.
    I manually set the Ports on the MBP Applications: Skype, Azureus and Limewire to match the Ports I`d previously PortForwarded the RTA1320 to.
    However, on the new MBP, Skype, Azureus and Limewire don`t seem to run too well.
    I get yellow smilies on Azureus and a "Port Appears Closed" message on the NAT Test and my Skype Contacts are leaving me messages saying I always appear "off-line".
    The iMac Apps still work flawlessly.
    I`m guessing the problem is something to do with two Macs on a Wireless Network with one Static IP Address or what am I doing wrong?

  • Two Macs-One External Hard Drive

    I currently have an imacg5 and am thinking of getting another one so I don't have to move them between my two homes. (the wife doesn't like to use laptops). I also was thinking of getting an external HD and just bringing it.
    Question: Will I have problems with duel-core unit and one without or should I partition it for each?
    thanks
    Stevena64

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Are you looking to use the drive just to transfer data between the two Macs, or are you looking to use the same drive to boot those two Macs?
    If data transfer, then as long as you get a good quality drive with the Oxford 911 chipset and format/partition it on the Intel Mac, you can use the same drive for both without a problem. I have a 500B drive in an enclosure from OWC found HERE and have it partitioned for use with my G5 iMac and my BlackBook.
    If you want to boot from the same drive on two machines, that is not possible as the OS is not a universal binary yet. There are separate PPC and Intel builds. If you want to partition it you can, but that kinda defeats the purpose of booting from the drive.

  • Two Macs, One Library

    I've been scouring the internets to try and figure out if it's possible for two macs to point to one iTunes Library and its content on one external HDD. The idea being as long as I have my external HDD plugged in I have my an entire library at hand.
    I'm running a G5 Tower running 10.4.10 and a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11, both have iTunes 8. Is there a way to get both computers to see the same library (not at the same time) and content? I'd also like to be able to sync my iPhone and iPod on either computer. Any ideas/suggestions/solutions are appreciated.

    Theoretically this is possible.
    When you launch any a copy of iTunes which you'd like to use that library, hold down the option key while double clicking the iTunes icon. This should present a dialogue box that gives you the option to choose a library. You browse to the library file on the external drive and voila.

  • What are some cool things you can do with TWO Macs (one MBP and one MB)?

    What are some interactions that can happen between two Macs?
    I have a MacBook Pro, and my sister just bought a MacBook for herself.
    I can sense that there must be something cool we can do between them, because it's Apple !
    Any input would be appreciated, thanks and happy holidays.

    You can use Bonjour to setup a file-exchange network easily and efficiently.
    You can use iChat to create a video conference on your home network.
    If you are into power processing, I personally have set up a miniature render farm with 3 machines all processing 3d scenes to make my own 3d movies and special effects.
    You can share music through iTunes music sharing, and listen to each others music, video, and whatever-else libraries.
    And thats all I can think of as of now. Hope that helps!

  • Mac, PC, Internet connections, etc... I may be in the wrong place...

    Does anyone have an awful time maintaining their internet connection? Please direct me to another forum if there is one on this topic. My settings with Verizon, my ISP, are to the letter.
    I need to run Network Diagnostics 6-8 times an hour (sometimes more) in order to reestablish my internet connection. This never happened when I was using a Windows based product.
    I thought that it might be the fact that I have a Mac and my husband has a PC, and that maybe there was some peculiar compatibility thing happening, but unfortunately it happens when he is not even here. I'm not eager to call a "geek squad" because I've hear they've done more harm than good.
    Has anyone else experienced this? The Genius Bar guy couldn't help me, and my settings with Verizon are what is expected.
    Thanks for any help...
    Best,
    Sheila

    The router (if you have one) is the box connected to the modem, which is connected to the internet line-in.
    This is the basic setup: Internet connection (like a cable line) -> Modem -> Router -> Computer
    If it's only going to one computer, though, you may have something like this: Internet Connection -> Modem -> Computer.
    Your problem is almost certainly hardware. Make sure all cords are plugged in (or screwed in, as the case may be) tightly and securely. Check to see if any of them look frayed or blackened at all (which would indicate they aren't working properly). Also, try resetting the connection by unplugging modem (and router if applicable).
    The modem will be directly connected to your internet connection. The router will be connected to the modem. The router most likely also has things connected to it (computers, wireless base, or both) unless it is a wireless router.
    It's hard to diagnose without being able to see it, but it sounds like a hardware issue.

  • Two WRT54G, two networks, same Internet Connection

    If anyone can take the time to educate me in how to effectivly stack routers to share one internet connection but set up two different networks I would really appriciate it.
    I want to set up an open wireless network for customers but have my POS and Cameras on a seperate network that people using the wireless cannot access.  I have two routers, and have tried using different subnets but cannot get it to work. 
    Is there any step by step instructions on linksys's site?  I cannot find them.
    Any help is greatly appriciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for taking the time to reply.
    I have one WRT54G v5 and one BEFSR41(sorry don't know the version).
    Right now I have the BEFSR41 acting as the router and the WRT54G acting as a wireless access point.  I have a hardwire connection going from port 1 on the BEFSR41 to port 1 on the WRT54G and have DHCP disabled in the WRT54G.  Right now anyone connected wirelessly to the WRT54G has full access to my network.
    What I want to do...
    Modem------------BEFSR41-----------Point of sale registers/Camera DVR

                                              |

    BEFSR41 DHCP 192.168.1.100-150 Subnet 255.255.255.0
    WRT54G DHCP 192.168.x.100-150 Subnet 255.255.255.xxx
    I want my Wired network to be on a different IP range and Subnet than my Wireless so that customers cannot get onto my wired network.  (I think its called segmenting a network or something like that.)
    Is this possible with linksys's stuff or do I need to step it up a notch and get something like a nomadix?
    Thanks again for the reply.
