Using mini as ethernet pass-through?

I want to use my Mac mini which is connected to my router wirelessly to network several devices using ethernet connections.  I was wondering if it was as simple as getting an ethernet switch and connecting that to the Mac mini and then using the downstream(?) ports to connect the devices.  What if anything would then be required to pass the packets on to the internet?

  • Ethernet Pass Through second G5 port?

    I am trying to set up an old dual 2.0 G5 powermac as a media device in my living room; and i'm banging my head against the wall trying to determine how to get it on my wifi network.
    i have been trying for the last hour and a half to get my Airport Express (its old, 2005?) to connect to my wifi, and as far as i can tell, it doesn't; here's my thought though.. since i have a RJ45 cable running already to the living room for my ATT Uverse, is it possible to connect directly to the G5 first, and connect the Uverse into the second ethernet port on the g5; is this theoretically possible?
    next attempt will be to use my old airport ufo base station… who knows

    Hi Cory, yes, it should be possible, using Internet Sharing on the G5, From Ethernet 1 to Computers using Ethernet 2 for instance...

  • Sony - Pass Through ?

    I have a Sony DCR-TRV310 Is there anyway to use this camera in "pass-through" mode So I can import my old VHS tapes into iMovie?
    If so, whatt are the steps?
    As always, thanks in Advance.

    If it works the same as the Sony DCR-TVR520, there is no "Pass Through" switch per sé. However, on mine you could
    1) remove any tape in the Digital-8
    2) connect to a VCR via either S-VHS or RCA-to-Mini-Jack cable
    3) connect to computer via 4-to-6 FireWire
    4) turn on Digital-8 in the VTR mode
    5) open iMovie
    6) switch to the "camera" icon mode (older versions) or select "Import from camera" (iMovie '08)
    Unfortunately, this workflow did not allow you to "control" the camera as it does when capturing from digital-8/Hi-8 tape and you have to play/rewind/fast forward your VCR tape manually when capturing.

  • Data Guard as a pass through?

    Scenario is . . .
    Host A is the Primary
    Host B is a Standby
    Host C is a Standby
    Now I know we can set up A->B and A->C
    Can we set up A->B->C ?
    Essentially using B as a pass through between A and C. Or you can see it as B being in a DMZ.
    Would B have to be Active Data Guard or anything special?
    I guess what I am really asking is can a Standby be used as the source for another Standby.

    See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10700/cascade_appx.htm#i638620 for more information on Cascaded Standby Destinations. There are a few restrictions:
    Cascading has the following restrictions:
    * Logical and snapshot standby databases cannot cascade primary database redo.
    * SYNC destinations cannot cascade primary database redo in a Maximum Protection Data Guard configuration.
    * Cascading is not supported in Data Guard configurations that contain an Oracle Real Applications Cluster (RAC) primary database.
    * Cascading is not supported in Data Guard broker configurations.
    Keep an eye on this chapter and Note 409013.1 "Cascaded Standby Databases" when the next patch set for 11.2 comes out :^)

  • OBIEE and Essbase security pass through

    Hi All,
    I'm using Essbase as a data source for OBIEE. Right now I'm trying to use Hyperion security to pass through OBIEE. I've setup OBIEE to use Hyperion Shared Services as custom authenticator and Hyperion users can log in. However, I'm having problem passing through the users to Essbase. I've changed the Essbase connection pool to use :USER and :PASSWORD. When I tried to check for global consistency, I'm getting the following error
    [38098] The password in the Connection Pool '"server"."Connection Pool"', associated with the Repository Initialization Block '"SUB_VAR_BLOCK_server"', contains the use of :USER or :PASSWORD.
    When I tried to open any existing Essbase reports from OBIEE, I'm getting this error (as expected)
    State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. Essbase Error: Login fails due to invalid login credentials (HY000)
    Any ideas on how to get around this issue? Thanks
    Regards,
    Gerd

    Hi Gerd,
    Could you please explain in detail how you have setup OBIEE to use Hyperion Shared Services as custom authenticator so that Hyperion users can log into OBIEE?
    Please provide the steps and custom authenticator function?
    we would need to implement it fromm scratch. So, your help will be greatful.

  • X240 - is there audio pass-through when using a miniDP to HDMI?

    I have an X240, which I love, but now that I've cut my cable cord and am going with Netflix and other on-line streaming options, I'd like to be able to view my streaming programs on my TV.  Can I use a cable or adapter to go from the miniDP (on the X240) to my HDMI (on my TV) and get audio as well as video?  I understand my laptop needs to have an "audio pass-through" for that to work --- I don't know what it is, but I'd like to know if this one's got it.  I bought the laptop online in Dec 2013, if that makes a difference.
    (Yes, I could stream Netflix from a gadget like Chromecast, but that will only get me Netflix Canada, whereas using a VPN on my computer I can get Netflix from other countries too.)

    refreshing this discussion!   I've tried a mini DP to HDMI dongle with an HDMI-HDMI cable to the TV - and I get video but no audio.  My computer recognizes the TV as present as as audio playback device, but no audio is transmitted through TV or computer. when it's plugged in.  Of course I still get audio from the computer's speakers when it's not plugged in

  • HD Audio Pass Through on Mac Mini HDMI port

    There have been various threads realting to this but nothin up to date or resolved as i can determine.  I plan to use a Mac Mini as the core AV processor in a high end 8 channel sound system in a home cinema set up.  The mac mini runing XBMC or similar will need to process high definitiion video files that contain Dolby and DTS True HD 8 channels bit streams and be able to pass these streams unchanged and uncompressed to the HDMI port for external decoding. 
    In previous threads it was identified that there was a hardware and/or OSX operating system limitation that prevented this.  Has this now been solved? It seems surprising that Apple of all people would get this one wrong.  As I have not yet purchased the Mac mini then i am not in a position to experiment as my 2010 macbook probably is not the same hardware.
    Thanks

    I know this thread is a little old now, but I've been wondering the same thing myself - so I googled it and came up with this thread.
    I've just bought a new 7.1 Amp, the Yamaha RXV677 from Richer Sounds. It handles DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 and Dolby TrueHD 7.1. Up until now I've not been able to try this sound format out as my current 2009 Mac Mini only sends audio through the Optical Out, so the best I can get is Dolby Digital 5.1 pass thru via S/PDIF. I was quite happy with this arrangement, until I get around to buying a blu-ray player. However, I realised my work laptop is a 2014 MacBook Pro with HDMI out. Therefore out of curiosity I decided to download a couple of HD demos from demo-world.eu that have DTS-HD MA 7.1 audio tracks embedded in them. I tried opening them up in VLC media player (version 2.1.5) and hooked up my 2014 MacBook Pro via HDMI to my Amp. To my amazement it worked!! - I got glorious 7.1 DTS-MA into my Amp, and it sounded simply stunning!! In VLC I had two HDMI audio devices to choose from 'HDMI' and 'Encoded HDMI' (or something like that - I'll have to hook it up again to be sure). When using straight HDMI output, my Amp read it as 'PCM Audio' but when using 'Encoded HDMI' it read it as 7.1 DTS Audio giving the sample rate and bit rate. I need to spend a bit more time testing this out - but it definitely works, and it definitely plays in surround from all my available speakers (I have a 5.1 setup, so can't test the other 2 surround channels).
    I have no reason to believe that this will not work from a current Mac Mini with HDMI - although as yet I can't verify this, and I have only tested using VLC player with a .m2ts file.

  • Encoding Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) sound in MP4 files using AC3 pass-through

    Looking for an application that will encode Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC3) sound in an .mp4 container using AC3 pass-through for playing videos with surround sound on ATV.
    Handbrake is out of the question because I run Tiger. The Tiger version cannot do AC3 pass-through.
    Visual Hub is no longer available.
    Any other options?

    You may need Apple's MPEG2 QT plugin as well for MPEGStreamclip.
    Also, consider if running windows in parallels/Boot Camp etc that there's a windows version, and possibly a linux version.
    VisualHub code was released open source - Google FilRedux and PunyVid (iSquint derivative). Not tried either though.

  • Reading hyper-v pass-through disks using WMI?

    How do I read pass-through disks for a guest VM from a Hyper-V using WMI? I'd like to read the pass-through disks that are available to a guest VM using the below mentioned ways:
    1. Add a disk to Hyper-V server, take it offline and assign it as a physical disk to VM
    2. Configure iSCSI initiator in guest VM to get a disk directly from storage array
    3. Use VFC to export a fiber channel lun to guest VM directly.
    Thanks/Hem

    You had another post with very similar questions, and I replied to it.  A broad answer is to use PowerShell as it does most, if not all, of the WMI work for you.  If you are having issues, it would be helpful for you to post specific questions
    about the issues you are seeing.  If they are scripting questions, you would reach more scripting experts in the Scripting Guys forum (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/scriptcenter/en-US/home?forum=ITCG). 
    And you can go to the scripting gallery (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/) to find examples of many, many different things.

    I don't think supressing through Global Personalization will change the business logic. Within the Business Logic it checks for the mandatory field.
    After the changes I guess you need to make the changes accordingly.

  • Pass Through Auth Not Using Novell eDirectory Over RDP - Virtual Desktop

    Hi,
    I have installed and configured SGD and the Virtual Desktop Adapter to a Virtual Center server. So far that whole side of things is working great. Machines are cloned, prepped and connected to by users through the My Desktop link in SGD. Now that I am attempting to perfect the master template I have encountered some issues. The network here is Novell eDirectory and at the moment when the desktop is launched the username and password used to authenticate to the SGD webtop are passed through to the Virtual Machine, but it seems that they are passed through to the Windows Authentication System/GINA even though the Novell client is in place.
    The virtual machines are Windows XP and by default none of the user accounts exist locally, so of course the login fails. This drops the user back to the login box where it can be seen that the Workstation Only tick box is checked. Settings in the Novell client to always default to eDirectory authentication, forget last setting used etc has all been set properly. Even when hiding the Workstation Only tickbox the username and password are passed to local system authentication still.
    I need to get the username and password sent to the Novell eDirectory authentication system/GINA in order for Zenworks to create the user on the local system. When dropping back to the login box and manually unticking the Workstation Only box login proceeds normally. Drives are mapped and the local user account is created by the Zenworks agent.
    Is SGD specifically targeting an authentication subsystem within the virtual machine, regardless of your installed authentication handler/GINA preference order? Can I get SGD to pass the details to the Novell client? Barring that is there some way I can prevent SGD passing the details? I tried turning off some of the authentication details caching etc but some of that is needed to rename the virtual machines after the user connecting. For the time being having users authenticate twice would be acceptable, having them login in, then get an error message, then manually unticking Workstation Only then relogging in is not acceptable.
    I have been searching these forums, Novell forums, Terminal Server forums for answers but so far nothing has been of any help. Please note that the login box is not the cut down/windows only login box that users are seen when they connect over RDP to a machine that already has a user logged in locally. There is no user logged in locally and the full login box is presented once the login failed message is cleared.
    Any help, or even a nudge in the right direction would be great.
    Thanks
    Russ

    Hi,
    Thanks for taking the time to respond. I tried the full context user name path as well, but its defiantly just being passed to a different GINA. The only credentials that determine if you have RDP access to a server is the local machines credentials, so Microsoft have the service pass authentication straight to the Microsoft GINA non-interactively instead of honouring the installed GINA's. So it will fail no matter what I put in since the account doesn't exist locally yet. People have implemented solutions that depend on Active Directory domains, but that's what I am trying to avoid.
    In that situation the AD Domain would allow access to the local machine based on Windows permissions, and a registry setting TSAutoLogin or something would trigger the Novell log in in parallel to map the Netware shared volumes. With no domain you can't get the initial log in triggered for the Novell client to kick in.
    Connecting to the virtual machine using an RDP client without pre-entering authentication information does show the Novell Login (NWGINA) with all the right settings in place, so I have modified the expect (login) script for SGD not to automatically pass log in information through with the RDP connection it makes. The result is a clean Novell login box without any errors that a user can just enter their details into a second time.

  • Receive wireless signal and pass through via ethernet

    Hi,
    I'd like to know if it's possible to pass through internet via ethernet from a Time Capsule that receives a Wireless signal.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks!

    Well, to be more specific, this a scheme of what I'm trying to do (it represents the floors in my house):
    [URL=http://minus.com/liKoug8pFOaFN][IMG]http://i.minus.com/jiKoug8pFOaFN.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
    So;
    - Telenet modem wired to D-link wireless router.
    - D-link router to AE (wireless)
    - AE to stereo (wired)
    - D-link router to TC (wireless)
    - TC to PC (wired)
    - TC to printer (USB)
    - D-link to tv (wired)
    - D-link to Digibox (digital television - wired)
    I want to be able to stream music from every device on the netwerk (iPad, iPhone, MBP, ..)
    and print from every device. All music should be streamed from iTunes Library on TC.
    I hope this is clear
    Thanks in advance!

  • How do you disable postscript pass-through using Mac OSX 10.6

         My Phaser 4600DN prints quite slowly when printing a PDF, a 28 page documents takes nearly 7 minutes to print. On Windows 7 PC the same document takes 6 minutes to print. If I disable Postscript Pass-Through option on the driver the 28 page documents takes two minutes to print. I need to know if there is a similar option in Mac OS 10.6.8?

    If, when printing to a Postscript printer, an app generates its own Postscript programme, it is possible for the printer driver to send it directly to the printer w/o any other modification; this is called Postscript pass-through. CUPS, the Mac OS X printing system, does allow for this option, but it is implemented in the printer driver, not the OS. So, whether or not disabling this option is available to you depends on the driver for your printer. Consult its docs or ask Xerox tech support.

    Tim is 200% correct here: any performance gains (if any...) you'll get will fade in darkness compared to management burden you'll have with pass-thru disks (issues with failover, VM migration and no
    real support with a major VM backup vendors). Making long story short: don't do it.
