Viewing Local Network With Ipad

On a desktop Mac you can view files on other computers in the local network that have file sharing turned on. Is it possible to view these files with the iPad and if so how?
With the desktop you simply select Go from the Apple Menu and then select Network. Anyone have any ideas as to how to do this with the iPad?
Thanks

I'm not sure if there is 1 app that will let you view everything, but there are various apps that will do similar functions by setting up a server on the computer. Some will move files (pdfs in the program I tried on my touch) and some will broadcast (air video).
A VNC app will let you remotely control your computer, which is handy for viewing files (audio doesn't work this way, and video lags) and browsing the internet.

May by anyway view Local Network files[e-book] or videos or html pages, from the main PC

In ipad 3 upgraded to 4 ios, may by anyway view Local Network files[e-book] or videos or html pages, from the main PC if, this main has local host[php/mysql] or, from the local network itself: eg //user/downloads/pdf/ebook1.pdf?

HT5557 Can I share books on local network with other authorized family users? This was simple when my books were in iTunes.

Before using iBooks, members of my family were able to share their books through "Shared Devices" in iTunes. Once I moved my library to iBooks, books are not available to other members of my family. Is there a means to share books on local networks with other authorized users?

Thanks for the link. I looked at this and tried it and it sync'd my wife's iBook with my account, so she now had my Apple ID logged into her iBook. I'd like to be able to share my iBooks with her, but add them to her library as we were able to do with Home Sharing in iTunes. I want her to be able to use her Apple ID with iBooks, but be able to read some of the books I buy on my account. Does that make sense?
Thank you.

New download of keynote files when changing wifi network with iPad

When i change the Wifi Network with my ipad3 (without 3G) it always starts to download the keynote, numbers and pages files from the iCloud. You can't open any file until its downloaded again, you just see the Folder and the file as a placeholder.
In my opinion this Akers totally no sense. I expect a synchronization between iPad and the iCloud like it woks with mail, kalender. Even dropbox just downloads the file you select for use. In my case I have 64 files only in keynote, created on the iPad and eaven without changing something it will re download all files from the iCloud before I can use them.
Anybodydid the same experience ?
Is this a bug or a really shh.... Feature?

No that's not my experience, it's clearly not working as it should. Perhaps you should restore your iPad.

What is the criteria for a local network with RDS Gateway 2012?

I have a hard time finding out what the criteria are how RDS 2012 detemines that the network the client is on is a local network or an external one. I have one subnet within our network that isn't recognised as a local network and all RDS traffic is
passed to the gateway server. This is something we don't want for internal addresses. Can anyone enlighten me how RDS determines whether you are on an internal or external network?
Thanks!
Leo

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
As per my research I can say that RDS when getting any connection it looks for DNS to verify as all the usage for internal\external entries is made under DNS for his environment through RD Gateway.
The RD Gateway role service provides secure access by establishing an SSL tunnel from the client to the RD Gateway. The RD Gateway acts as the middleman. It passes traffic to and from the client over port 443, and to and from the internal resource over port
3389. Any communication between the RD Gateway and the external client is also encrypted. The RD Gateway uses authorization policies to determine who can use the service and the specific resources to which they’re allowed access. You can configure different
permission sets for people depending on whether they’re connecting from within or outside the network.
You can get more details from beneath link.

Can not connect to wireless networks with ipad 2

My ipad used to connect to the wireless net at home and in public areas.
Now all by the sudden it can't "see" the network.
Message: " could not connect to wireless network"
I have tried "everything" also on different networks,
except resetting the modem.
My iPhone works, as do all my other computers.
Modem is Zyxel P2812

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Can I create network with iPad & mini?

I now have 2006 Mini 1.5 GHz Intel Core Solo upgraded to 2 GB sdram running on ATT DSL ethernet connection. My Sys Profile indicates my Airport wifi is 802.11a/b/g.
I would like to upgrade to ATT wireless modem and have this mini AND a new wifi iPad model on a wireless network in my home. First of all does this make sense?
Secondly, my concerns are security and speed.
I have read 802.11n is what's needed to enjoy the features of the iPad, but the network will be limited to the speed of the slowest device - the mini I presume? Also the security of the 802.11n appears to be more robust? Is this true? If so, can mini be upgraded to 802.11n.
Also my house has the old 4-wire phone wiring (red-green-yellow-black). I have heard about Cat5, Cat6 wiring. Will the old wiring limit the speed of the ATT modem so as to make this network impractical.
Any insight and tips on this would be greatly appreciated!! Addie

First, be sure the ATT wireless modem allows more than one device to connect at a time. A modem is not normally meant to act as a router and share the connection, although some modems with a WAP (wireless access point) built in can do so. Also check what they charge for the modem with wireless, as it may be cheaper to just get your own wireless router to plug into the existing modem.
As for security, 802.11g devices aren't going to be any less secure than 892.11n devices really, so long as you can use WPA. Both the mini and the iPad should support WPA fine. In a broader sense, nothing wireless is perfectly secure, since anyone that is near enough to receive signal can capture the data transmitted. It may take a lot to compromise the security of that data and the network at this point, but no form of security is eternally infallible.
When it comes to speed, your biggest constraint is going to be your connection to your ISP (internet service provider), in this case ATT DSL. Unless you are getting a fiber service, you probably aren't even close to the 54mbps speeds 802.11g can offer. The only improvement in data transfer you'll see by having 802.11n is between devices on your network. This means that your mini and your iPad can transfer things between each other faster, but neither can get data from the internet any faster than your ISP delivers.
It is not really that simple to upgrade the mini to 802.11n, and as noted may not really be worth it as it will likely not offer any gain in what you are doing.
Your house wiring to the telephone network only uses 2-4 conductors, so Cat5 or Cat6 wiring really won't make any real difference. Those are 8 conductor network cables, meant for wired networking.
An option you don't seem to have considered is instead of getting a wireless capable modem or router, you could simply share the internet connection from your mini via the Airport inside it. Since you are apparently wired from the modem to your mini, you can simply then use the mini's built in wifi to act as your WAP for the iPad.

Are you locked into a plan (or network) with IPad Air cellular?

I just wanted to know if you can choose not to have any cellular provider until you are in need of it.
Also can you put a foreign sim card in it and use the local phone network to use your cellular??
Many thanks for your time.

A wifi-only iPad doesn't have a sim-card slot, only the cellular models do. If they are available in your country then you could get a mifi device and use the sim-card in that and use that as a mobile hotspot for your iPad

Can I use a computer to computer network with iPad?

In a few months I will be moving to a location where Wifi may not be widely available. I will have access to wired ethernet. Is there a way to create a network on my Macbook to share the connection with my iPad and iPhone? If so, how good is the range?
Thanks in advance

Its easy
Just run "System Preferences", then go to "Sharing", then check "Internet Sharing".
In "Share your connection from" select "Ethernet".
In "To computers using:" select AirPort.
If you want to set a password for this network, just click on "AirPort Options" button and its done
Choose your network name, password and you're online

Keep getting kicked off of wi-fi network with iPad 2

In settings under wi-fi... "Choose a Network" continues to recycle sometimes kicking me off my network. What gives?

Try a Reset of your iPad... you will not lose any data or settings...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Can't "Share my library on local network with different versions of iTunes

Should iTunes 8.2 have trouble sharing libraries over a LAN with iTunes 9.x?
Where I work, some of us are on 9.2, some on earlier versions of 9.x, and I'm on 8.2. I downgraded because of bugs in entering metadata to WAV and AIFF files before encoding to mp3, which is mostly what I use iTunes for at work. We used to all be able to share libraries. Now I can see them in the SHARED list, but when I click on them, it doesn't load. When they click on mine in their SHARED list, they get a message that says my computer "cannot accept connections at this time."

I'll play Little Red Hen and answer my own question. Sort of. I upgraded to 9.2.1 earlier this week and was immediately able again to share music libraries with others in the office. Barring bizarre coincidence, that would indicate that everyone needs to be on or near the same version of iTunes in order to share music libraries. FWIW.
Haven't done any big WAV to mp3 conversion jobs since 9.2.1 but a small test went OK. Oy, I hope they got that mess ironed out.

Cannot resolve host names on local network

It is a local network with router, few Windows computers with shared drives and one Mac.
Windows shares appear correctly in SHARED and can be used without any problems, like iTunes and iPhoto libraries are on those shared drives and work properly, even if ip address of those computers would change.
BUT - if I am trying to use VNC and connect to hostname:port, it says that server is not specified. If I try to ping hostname it says Unknown host.
At the same time, similar ping from Windows computer work without any problems.
It could be possible that router does not support something standard and communicates with Windows using something windows-specific, but what confuses me is that I can see computer names resolved in the finder already! Also, as I said iTunes and iPhoto can work with shared files on dynamic ip's which would be not possible if host names would be not resolved.
Thanks.

Domain Name Resolution for local IP addresses require a Local DNS server running on your network.
Bonjour names will resolve without a Local DNS server. So this is why iTunes and iPhoto works as they use bonjour technology.
A bonjour name ends in .local so in your macs sharing preferences you give the mac a name of imac its bonjour address is imac.local
Other than that you are best giving your devices fixed IP address and adding there hostnames to your hosts file.
the contents of /etc/hosts on your mac would look like
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
so at the above that you could add for example
192.168.1.5 mypc
192.168.1.6 myprinter
Then you could ping 192.168.1.5 by
ping mypc
So would have to add these entries to each hosts file on every computer on your lan.
Or you could setup a local dns server and give each computer on your LAN a fully qualified domain name.

Can't access BI 11g server from local network.

I have a problem..
Hope someone can tell me the solution.
I've installed BI Publisher 11g in my server. From the server, I can access it via web browser with URL http://localhost:7001/xmlpserver/servlet/home
The problem is, when I try to access it from other PC in my local network with URL http://10.11.9.190:7001/xmlpserver/servlet/home, the page fail to show and there's connection timed out error.
I'm using Windows7 in my server.
Is there any configuration that I missed?
Thanks for helping me..

The best way around firewalls is to stream using port 80. This is a preference setting in QuickTime Streaming Server and QuickTime Broadcaster. This will allow the stream to pass through the hole in the firewall usually used for HTML (web page) traffic. HOWEVER, you cannot use this port if you are also running web server services (Apache) on the same computer/server since they need to use port 80 also. If you need to host a web site AND stream QuickTime using port 80, you will need two computers (or at least two IP addresses; one for each service which is a little tricky. If both services are trying to use port 80, weird things will happen, most often the HTML data will rule and the streams won't work. This has been my experience. Good luck!

Connection to Oracle from remote computer in local network

I have local network with two computers: WinXP with Oracle 10g and Vista with Oracle Client tools. I need to connect to the Oracle 10g from the client PC with sqlplus and with Enterprise Manager Console. Sqlplus returns ORA-12154 error, EM console returns ORA-12541 error.
Is the problem in configuration of listener.ora, tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora on the server side and on the client side? They look like this:
Server side:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.0.0.9)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =

(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =

(PROGRAM = extproc)
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.0.0.9)(PORT = 1521))
Client side:
# tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.0.0.9)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
# sqlnet.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS, EZCONNECT)
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)
Are these files configured fine? Or do I have to configure also something else? When I do tnsping 10.0.0.9 from the client, the result is OK. So what is wrong? Thanks a lot for help, Petr.

Sqlplus returns ORA-12154 error, EM console returns ORA-12541 error- Make sure that "TNSNAMES" is listed as one of the values of the NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH parameter in the Oracle Net profile (SQLNET.ORA)
- Verify that a TNSNAMES.ORA file exists and is in the proper directory and is accessible.
- Check that the net service name used as the connect identifier exists in the TNSNAMES.ORA file.
- Make sure there are no syntax errors anywhere in the TNSNAMES.ORA file. Look for unmatched parentheses or stray characters. Errors in a TNSNAMES.ORA file may make it unusable.

Printing issues to local network when AnyConnect VPN in use

I have situation where I have a user connecting to the corporate office from her home network using a Win7 laptop and AnyConnect VPN 3.1.01065. She has an IP HP printer on her local network. When she is connected via VPN, she cannot print to her printer, Win saying the printer is off-line. That said, we are allowing access to the remote local network with a "split-exlude" conifiguration on the ASA:
access-list LocalLANAccess standard permit host 0.0.0.0
group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes
vpn-tunnel-protocol ssl-client
split-tunnel-policy excludespecified
split-tunnel-network-list value LocalLANAccess
"Allow local (LAN) access when using VPN" in the AC preference tab is checked. And also, she can ping the local printer when connected via VPN. however, the printer appears off-line, from the laptop perspective, when the VPN is on, and will go back "on-line" when the VPN is disconnected.
Anyone have any thoughts on how to correct this?

Well, if you want a workaround to apply for all VPN Client then you need to go for split-tunnel-policy tunnelspecified instead of split-tunnel-policy excludespecified. Suppose if your corporate network is 10.0.1.0/24 and you want to give the access to this subnet for vpn users.then configuration will be as follows.
access-list CorporateLAN standard permit 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0
group-policy DfltGrpPolicy attributes
vpn-tunnel-protocol ssl-client
no split-tunnel-policy excludespecified
split-tunnel-policy tunnelspecified
split-tunnel-network-list value CorporateLAN
This will solve the problem globally
