Use only IP-number and skip web domain name?

I have a Mac Mini Server and I am about to order an external firewall device. The firewall will be used with vpn to get access to the server from the internet. Access to the server will only be for my colleages . The server should not be accessible for other people at all (e.g., no public website, etc).
Here comes my newbie question…is it possible to only use my static public IP number to get access to the server through vpn? Do I really need a a web domain name?
Do I really need to get dns involved on the outside?
At the moment I am using my servers Wiki and blog by typing in the IP-number in the browsers address field. It would be fine with with me to continue with that.

is it possible to only use my static public IP number to get access to the server through vpn? Do I really need a a web domain name?
Sure. if you can remember your IP address you can use that anywhere. DNS exists because there are literally millions of IP addresses out there and human brains are better at remembering words (e.g. 'discussions.apple.com') than they are numbers (e.g. '64.212.100.59').
Do I really need to get dns involved on the outside?
Since it's only you and your colleagues, not at all.

It's also not hard to setup a local DNS for your internal systems - once you're connected to VPN you'd automatically start using the internal DNS server and would be able to use memorable names, but it's entirely your choice.

This is a peer-to-peer community.
All people responding are user just like you.
However, many of are users have solved many problems for other blackberry users in need of assistance.
If you see you haven't been responded to in a long time, just reply 'bump' on the same thread you originally posted.
The term 'bump' is used because a thread remaining unanswered usually moes down the list and gets lost in older pages. By replying to a post, it gets moved ("bumped") back to the top of the first page of that category.
If you see a solution to your problem, feel free to mark it as a solution. Also you can thank the user who helped you or give him a 'kudo'. A 'kudo' is the little star found underneath the avatar (picture) of the user. It's like giving them credit for the work they did.
Welcome to the community! We hope to see you posting soon.

Need to use only one sender and receiver communication channel.

Hello Experts.
I have a scenario where in I have to use only one sender and receiver communication channel to push files from different source directories to different receiver directories.
For Eg;
Sender
D://dir1/file1 --->                  E://dir1/File1
F://dir2/file2 ---->                 G://dir2/file2
H://dir3/file3----->                 I://dir3/file3.
Can this be achieved by using pass through scenario?
Please let me know if the requirement is not clear.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Advit,
I think it is possible. You have to use the Advanced Selection for Source file in the sender channel to define multiple files to be picked up. Also, the Dynamic configuration must also be enabled and used in the mapping so you can manipulate the target directory and target file name based on your source files.
For Polling from multiple directories:

Suddenly my mac uses only all caps and I can't restart, please help!

Suddenly my mac started using only 'all caps', and also 'select all' with 'left click' in both iTunes and Chrome. I tried to restart, but it will only attempt to open in safe mode, and it will not accept my password. I assume this is because it will only type in capitals, so I cannot get in at all, even with my OS disk.
This is not because of the caps lock button. I tried this many times. My cat may have walked on my keyboard though. When this happened, I was copying unlinked descriptions from Chrome to iTunes podcasts. I have shut down to restart several times, and my new wired aluminum keyboard is 4 weeks old.
About 3 weeks ago I did a complete erase of my hard drive and installed snow leopard and iWork 9 from disk, updated them, and only added my documents back on from a bootable backup. Then I downloaded Lightroom 4, and imported a few thousand photos from an EHD. My iTunes library is on a seperate EHD. Everything has worked perfectly until now. I do have a recent Time Machine backup. My APS uninterruptable power supply is about 2 weeks old.
What can I do now?

Problem solved, it was my new mac keyboard, only four weeks old.
My old mac keyboard works fine except for the row of keys on the far right,
which is why I got a new one.
Hard to believe a bad keyboard could mess up a mac that badly!

Hello Azim5s,
Indeed, this can be done by setting your account up and choosing 'None' when prompted for billing information.

Finding IP and fully qualified domain name.

Okay i have a java program taht runs on ubuntu the latest version. I got java 6.0 using apt-get install. oKay now i wrote a server socket program. But what it also should do is get the fully qualified domain name of the system and its ip address. So now my system is called "tools.myproject.com" okay. I dont have system registered under a domain or somethign but i specify it in my /etc/hosts file. since linux also uses the /etc/hosts file to resolve domain names. Now is there anyway in java that i can get this name. If not that then is there a way i can get the ip of this machine, which is not the loop back address. When i do the InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostaddress() method or whatever thats there in the documentation i get the loop back address thats specified thats 127.0.0.1 and the canonicalname for taht is some rubbish that i dont need. So can anyone help me out.
Also i found some NetworkInterface class from which i can get the IP Address of the machine. Also the Canonical Name i get from the IpAddress does it look at the /etc/hosts file or the DNS server?
Thanks!

Try this
InetAddress[] inet = InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress());
for (int x = 0; x < inet.length; x++)
System.out.println
("IP " + (x + 1) + ": " + inet[x].toString().substring(1));
}

It can't find URL when i use HLS for vod and the vod file name contain Chinese.

It can't find URL when i use HLS for vod and the vod file name contain Chinese。eg： http://127.0.0.1:8134/hls-vod/你好.mp4.m3u8.
How does it support Chinese path?

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Difference between 006 DNS Servers and 015 DNS Domain Name

hi,
what's difference between 006 DNS Servers and 015 DNS Domain Name?
please guide me.

Hi
Option 006 DNS servers = IP Address of your DNS Server, e.g, 10.10.10.1
Option 015 DNS Domain Name = test.local, your domain name.

A fix to personal web domain name problem between iWeb and GoDaddy

There are numerous posts about problems with iWeb understanding both your personal name domain with and without the www.prefix. After five days, 25 calls to both Apple and GoDaddy where I was getting much conflicting advice even within each organization, and I experienced many problems such as the site not being found and iWeb asking for password authorization whenever anyone visited the site. The good news is that I was finally able to resolve the problem with these simple steps:
First, check that your Web site actually exists by going to http://web.mac.com/yourusername
If that works then you need to set up a forward in GoDaddy.
In GoDaddy's account manager, make sure that the forwarding address is set to http://web.mac.com/yourusername. This must be the same address that you just checked through your browser. (I also advise you to NOT USE the .ME designation that Apple is moving to. It's not solid yet. .MAC will work for a long time. It's web.mac.com/ that will work).
Then click on the Total DNS Control and MX Records link.
This is where my instructions that work differ from many other instructions, but heed my advice and you'll save a lot of time.
Look in the CNAMES area and make sure that the www host alias points to "@" and not to anything else such as "web.me.com" or "www.mac.com". If you don't have such an entry, then create one by clicking on the "add a new CNAME Record"button. Caution - if you don't use the "@" (at sign) here you WILL run into trouble where your custom domain name will only work WITHOUT a "www." prefix. (While this may not be a problem for your mac friends, most everyone using a PC will think they need to type in a "WWW." and that will cause a problem).
Then if you wish, you can also go back into your domain forwarding area and click on the masking tab and click to enable masking. This will make your url only show the short personal domain name rather than the very long iWeb mobile me URL appended with your personal domain name.
Confirm your entry, and then wait anywhere from 20 minutes to four hours or more for the tens of thousands of servers around the world to repopulate those instructions. I was able to see a change take place in minutes where my associate in another state didn't see the change for two hours. Don't worry, just wait.
If you do this, you should be able to then go to your Web site through either www.YourPersonalDomainName.com or YourPersonalDomainName.com
Good luck!

I was finally able to resolve the problem with these simple steps:
Many people would not be interested in using url forwarding/masking as you suggest to solve this issue, since that makes it impossible to bookmark individual pages of your site. For those who do wish to set the www CNAME to web.mac.com, I think the problem can normally be solved by also setting the @ A Record to 17.250.248.34.

Use only one port to answer web service

I make web services to many companies.
In a company they have a firewall and said me they need use only one port to put a web service.
The web service is instanced in a one port, but the answer is made in different port (negociation between client and web server), when they use in a test server (with out firewall) the web service functioin OK, but when it is updated in Production (with firewall and the 7779 port open) don't function.
I use OAS 10.2.
Somebody know wath can I do.
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Are you sure the proxy is configured (using IE) for the user running the host instance? (Especially on non development machines) this is not by default the same user as the currently logged in user.

I used to have iWeb and now my domain has a password even after I ended my account. I can't publish with sandvox

I have had iweb for years and since the publishing with mobilme is going away i have since switch to sandvox and hosting with godaddy. I have set up everything and it said it published but when I go to the site it makes me put in my apple id. How do I get that to go away?

I agree, you need to adjust your DNS. I have an important question for you, though. Do you see your site if you visit the domain without the www subdomain? In other words, do you see the site if you go to "YourDomain.com" and only get the MobileMe login box if you visit "www.YourDomain.com"? If that's the case, you only need to make one change. If it doesn't work either way, you'll need to make two changes.
You said that you host with Go Daddy, but you didn't say whether or not the domain was also registered at Go Daddy. I'm assuming it is and that it's registered in the same Go Daddy account that you used to purchase the hosting account...
Here's a guide that explains how to access the DNS Manager in Go Daddy and make changes: http://x.co/kTW3
That guide can look complicated because there's a lot of stuff that *can* be done in the DNS Manager. In your case, you probably just need to access it and choose the "Restore Detaults" option for your CNAMEs. To be sure, though, it's always best to contact Go Daddy Support so they can go over the exact details of your account with you and make sure you're not making any unwanted changes. They're available 24/7, so you can call whenever it's convenient.
If the site's not coming up without the "www" subdomain, you should also change the nameserver setting. To do that, read this guide: http://x.co/kTXR
You'll want to follow the steps for "Setting Nameservers for a Domain Name Registered with Us" and choose the "I have a hosting account with these domains". It'll take a little time after you make this change, but our system should automatically set the domain to point to the hosting account properly.
I hope this helps. As I mentioned before, don't hesitate to contact Go Daddy Support for assistance. They're better equipped to instruct you since they can look at your account settings and walk you through making changes. Phone and email contact info is here: http://x.co/kTYi
Good luck to you!

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
*Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
*Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
*Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
*Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Excise No. using Accounting Document Number and the P.O. number

Hi All ! In my GL report, I'm displaying the Accounting Document Number and the P.O. number.
Now, the requirement is to display the excise no..
Tried different tables in SE11 using J_1EXC for excise detials, but to no avail.
And last which vendor to pick, Because vendors in P.O and BSEG differs.
If I use the BSEG-BELNR I get a different vendor & If I use the P.O. no. in EKKO then also I get a different vendor.
Please suggest.

Hi,
Actually the vendor in the accounting document and PO should match. If not look in table EKBE, It will have the accounting document or at least the invoice receipt against which accounting document would have been created. Check if the vendor number matches with the invoice receipt.
Regarding the excise number I'm not sure what you mean, If you mean excise invoice number, you can look at the J_1IEXCDTL
J_1IEXCHDR tables. You could check with FC on what basis the document is getting created to make out the relation ship. If it is vendor excise no etc. you can hit F1 help to find out the table etc.
Hope it helps.
