What ports should be open for mac-pc chat?

So we've finally got our cams to work with cross-platforming (thanks to sandra and ralph). Now I still have a little bit of problems. I cannot hear him, tho he can hear me, and for some reason, sending/receiving files seem to be hard with most of my buddies. Can someone out there who can do all of these things tell me that optimal ports that they have open? That would be wonderful!

Whenever there is no audio at your end, but the PC user on the other end has a mic and can hear you, the PC user should try "tuning" the preferences for his camera and / or Mic. That may resolve the problem.
To find the setting, he must click on the Preferences menu option that becomes available after he clicks on the Setup icon near the bottom of the AIM 5.9 Buddy List Window.
Once he sees the Preferences, he needs to drop down the list, and click on "Live Video." In the new window that opens, click the button that says "Tuning Video and Audio." Follow the instructions in the wizard that opens.
Some PC users report that they need to reboot their PC after tuning to make the changes effective. Some also have reported that they must re-"Tune" whenever they make ANY camera or mic change, even as simple as unplugging and later plugging the same item back into their PC.
Can someone out there who can do all of these things tell me that optimal ports that they have open?
Your PC pal should see the AIM® Video IM - Frequently Asked Questions for info on setup and router configuration at his end.

What ports do I open for Media Manager?

I'm having trouble getting my Media Manager files seen by my DVRs (QIP-7232s). I have enabled such services that allow me to remotely admin my DVRs from the web, so I know they can be seen on the network. But I cannot get them to see the MM server running on my network.
I have a second router between my ActionTec and my XP Pro (32 b) server running Media Manager and holding all my video files. This is the routher that serves the IP addresses for my network.
Installing Media Manager seemed to go well. No errors.
However, none of my DVRs can locate the Media Manager and the contained files. I suspect I need to open a port or two on the 2nd router to allow the Verizon MoCA router access to the MM application.
Does any one know what ports I need to open?

Wow, this makes me want to pull my hair out..
It shouldn't be this difficult
I think I'm going to remove my router and just go with the ActionTec.
When I have more time (and patience) I'll go back into the world of port fowarding.
Thanks!

What ports do I open for a WRTU54G-TM off my WRT54G running DD-WRT?

I've grown weary of having a flakey internet connection with my WRTU54G resulting in having to power cycle it often. I am going to install my WRT54G running DD-WRT as my primary router and hang the WRTU54G-TM off of it. I'm hoping if all the WRTU54G is doing is the VOIP, then everything will be much more stable.
Can someone tell me what I need to do on DD-WRT to allow the WRTU54G to work? How about the QoS settings for VOIP?
TIA,
Dave

Try to open ports 5060-5061, 16384-16482 on your dd-wrt if the wrtu54g-tm is behind it to allow the voip traffic to passthrough. You can give priority to the port where the wrtu54g-tm is connected to for qos.

What RAM should I buy for Mac Pro?

I want to increase the speed of my Mac Pro but I'm not sure exactly which RAM to buy for my tower. I bought this Mac Pro in 2008 I believe. Any suggestions on which brands to buy and exactly which specific RAM?
Thanks.

There were half a dozen articles on MPG on memory upgrades, CS5/6 and more on SSDs to keep you reading!
When choosing boot drive SSD can make sense, so would 10K WD VR 250GB ($154)
Saving files you work on can take "too long" when you go from 300MB up to 2GB.
Disk drives may never get down to where they were (2TB WD Black $169) but large high density = high I/O and even the 1TB has gotten faster recently.
MPG goes into using SSDs on PCIe card but that has not always been ideal - better in the last two Mac Pro models.
The other 'big' ticket item has been the Nvidia GTX 570 2.5GB model ($500 though for a MacVidCards version) to help CS6 w/ 10.7.4 (and yes it helps but some are waiting for a GTX 680 instead but that could requirie 10.8 too).
But getting 4 x 2GB $110 16GB might make more sense using 667MHz instead of $220 for 2 x 4GB $220 800MHz. Both gets you 12GB, better but not ideal. For some, it is a stop gap rather than buy a 2010 or waiting for a new 2013 Mac Pro.

What's the best antivirus for mac???should i use one or not??

what's the best antivirus for mac?? and also should i have one on my mac or not???

Mac's use a Unix based operating system and other controls that make it hostile for viruses to thrive.
However it's possible to carry Windows viruses to other Windows machines by a Mac, also there might be some corruption if your dealing with a lot of Windows files.
So all you really need is a scanner to run when you need it, something like the free ClamXav is good.
http://www.clamxav.com/
Apple includes a anti-trojan/malicious program type anti-malware service built into all latest versions of OS X, it works and updates in the background.
There has been many attempts at trying to "trojan" or trick Mac users into installing rogue software on web pages. If you see soemthing like this, best to just Force Quit the browser by clicking on the Finder and selecting Force Quit from the menu.
A alternative browser like Firefox will offer more protection.
If you run your typical day to day operations on a Mac in what's called "Standard User", with a separate Admin User account, you'll need to update your Apple Menu > Software Update and your Apple Menu > System Preferences > Security > toggle the "Automatically Update Safe Downloads List" check box on/off about once a week.
Standard User provides more security restrictions, but is also designed not to intrude into those who are less capable use of the computer.
Third party plugins for your browser like Flash and Silverlight (used on Netflix) require a once a week check for updates.
Use a free service like the Mozilla browser check here:
https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
Always back up your personal data and never install programs that your not 100% you trust the source of.
If you have any questions or suspicions, simply ask the opinions of the more senior users here on this forum.
Good advice is not to install any anti-virus like Norton that demands the operating system remain a consistent state. Apple changes things all the time, which breaks software like Norton or OS X itself when a Software Update occurs.
There are two great free 3D games, simply search for: Nexiuz Classic and Cube 2 Sauerbraten.
If this information helped you, please click "Helpful" or "Solved" thank you.
Good Luck and enjoy your Mac.

I can't get Safari to load period. It quits immediately. According to the troubleshooting, I'm to un-install any third party plug ins. Can anyone tell me what I should be looking for? I don't recall installing anything that wasn't an upgrade.

Unplug your iBook from the AC power, shut it down and take the main battery out for about fifteen minutes. Then you can put the battery back in, plug the power back in and restart. This should reset the USB and FireWire ports.
If that doesn't help, you could reset the Power Management Unit. Follow the instructions in Knowledge Base Article #14449 for resetting your PMU.
You probably should also startup from your Mac OS X install disk and run the Disk Utility to "repair disk" on your hard drive. This will determine if you've got some kind of file directory/software problems with the files on your hard drive.

Urgent: What ports should be required in DMZ zone?

Hi,
I am thinking the ports question might need to posted here. Please have a look on my posting in the following link:
Urgent: What ports should be required in DMZ zone?
Thanks and Regards,

Thanks, Ravi.
The environment I am working now won't allow me to guess and test. We are on the project and to submit a change request would take very long. So I need submit all neccessary ports correctly at one time.
Could anybody give me any suggestion? I read the TCP/IP ports for SAP documentation. But I don't think it can answer my questions above.

Ports to be open for iTunes U

Hi,
I have an issue in my institution. I can't browse my iTunes U content, especially videos. Videos never start and also block iTunes 30 seconds later.
Do you know which ports need to be open ? My institution is behing a very narrow firewall, we also use a proxy (which is well configurated I guess).
I've been told that 80 and 443 ports should be open (http and https) but it doesn't help, videos are not launching.
Are there other ports to be open ?
Thanks for your help.

Hello psavoyaud
Check out the article below to go over other ports that are used by Apple and its services.

What port should my email be set on?

What port should my Mac mail be set on? Mine says "995" but my email provider at Comcast states other settings such as "587" or "465".

I did --that is where they said "587" or "465" but they don't state whether they are incoming, outgoing or whatever. Do I change the number on the Mac Mail port to one of those numbers? Maybe I will just email Comcast & ask them. Thanks

What are the optimal values for mac and arp timeout values

Hi Guys.
What are the best values for "mac address-table aging-time" and "arp timeout" by following scenarios?:
- single sg300-10 as layer3-switch with a maximum of 10 local (direct connected) hosts
- and a 3750x-stack with 100 local hosts + hsrp with a other stack of the same sort
or for asa 5520 as internet gateway for 500 clients?
I use at the moment a mac aging-time from 300 seconds and a arp timeout from 3600 seconds.
Is this o.k.?
Thanks.

Marvel.
As far as enhancing the CLI, it will of course be enhanced when new firmware releases provide new features. As far as making it more IOS-like, best to my knowledge, no. The only other supported CLI on the SB switches are on the SX500 series and SX200E series which the CLI are all consistent. If you bought a SX500 series the commands are nearly identical minus the different feature sets.

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums? Getting a cpu overload issue

What setting should I use for Abbey Road drums (i.e. multi-output, stereo, etc)? Getting a cpu overload issue. I have a macbook pro, 4 gb ram, running Logic Pro 9. Just 3 tracks of drums and a few real instrument tracks. Can't find a guide in the manual for either Kontakt or Logic. Thanks in advance!

Hi
AR drums are complete resource (CPU) hogs. They work better if you turn off as many of the AR internal plugins as you can.
See section 4 (?) of the AR manual, which you can find within Kontakt (In the library area of Kontakt click hold the small "i" on the right of the "AR drummer" Library).
Alternatively, your only solution is to increase the I/O buffer in Preferences:Audio, with the associated increase in latency

What method should be used for resizing the particular JTable Column width

I have a four table. Only one table which are on top have a table header. I want that when user resize the topmost table with a mouse other table colume also be resized automatically. So I want to know that what method should be used for resizing the particular JTable Column width.
Thanks
Lalit

maybe you can implement a interface ComponentListener as well as ComponentAdapter with your topmost Table.
for example:
toptable.addComponentListener(
new ComponentAdapter(){
public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e){
table1.setSize(....);
table2.setSize(....);
/*Optionally, you must also call function revalidate
anywhere;*/
);
