Where should the server go for VPN?

I need to setup and VPN to a mac mini server at work from a windows PC and there doesn't seem to be a definitive guide on setting this up so I have a couple of questions. We do have a static IP address. Currently the setup is Internet > DSL > Router (set as DHCP) > Mac mini.
1. Does the mac mini need to go before the router or can it go after the router?
2. If after the router, do I need to set the server to a static IP and set up port forwarding on the router?
3. What is best (PTPP, L2TP,etc)
Any suggestions are aprreciated.
Thanks

1. Does the mac mini need to go before the router or can it go after the router?
The Mini cannot terminate a DSL connection. It only has an ethernet port, therefore there's no way to connect the Mini directly to the DSL.
The DSL link will have to go to the router first.
2. If after the router, do I need to set the server to a static IP and set up port forwarding on the router?
Yes.
3. What is best (PTPP, L2TP,etc)
Take your pick. For most purposes they're equally capable. Much of your choice will depend on the client - if you have a client that only supports one or the other, then that will dictate your choice. Or enable both for maximum compatibility.

What/where is the "server address" for the My Cloud NAS?

I recently purchased a 2TB My Cloud NAS to store my FLAC music files (many thousands of them). I'm trying to use JRiver as a media controller but I can't find a path to the files. I'm using a Macbook Air (osx 10.10.4). The controller program asks for a "server address" and I have no idea what it is or where I may find an address. The music files are in the Public folder and there is no other identiification for it as far as I know. One forum suggested the following link : http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2686/~/how-to-map-a-wd-network-drive-on-a-mac This link offers several suggestions for a server address, but they are for My Book units and of course they don't work. Where, or how do I get a server address for my files on a My Cloud unit? I'm lost. I would appreciate any help. Thank you for your time. Bill

Welcome to the Community.
In most cases, the Server Address is the current path that leads to the devices and/or shared folders. This means the IP address of your unit or your device name, and depending on your system, the exact location to the share with your data. You can obtain the current IP address used by your WD My Cloud in your router and also in your NAS's admin page.

Where is the App icon for HD 1080p Video? From the online photos it should be separate from the camera App.

Where is the App icon for HD 1080p Video? From the online photos it should be separate from the camera App.
It's supposed to have a blue background with 1080p in white, while inside there is a white camera with the letters HD in blue.
I cannot find this App icon. Where is it located? It was supposed to be preinstalled.
Thanks.

There is no app.
It is the camera. Just take video with the camera.

Where is the download link for SCEP Client Offline installer for x86 & x64 altest greatest version (4.6.305 as of today)

Where is the download link for SCEP Client Offline installer for x86 & x64 latest greatest version (4.6.305 as of today)?
The answer IS NOT IT AND NEVER WILL BE "DOES NOT EXIST"!!!!!! MUST NEVER NEED TO RUN UPDATES TO GET IT!!!!!!!!! THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE ANSWER IS THE LINK!!!!! DUH GET YOUR ACT IN GEAR MS!!!!!!!!!!
Ralph

Thanks to all for the information. I work in higher ed. We have SCCM latest version, fully licensed. Unfortunately the individual who manages the SC does not have a clue as to where to find the SCEP installer. I sent him links from MS that shows him where
it is supposed to be. The version he say's is on our SC Management server is 4.3. I, in the past, was able to get 4.5 independent of him and it has been working well for me but it is time to use the latest greatest version instead. I should just as easily
be able to get 4.6. As far as licensing goes, if the product was correctly designed it should just work itself out just like it does for the 4.5 version I was able to easily find and download.
As for the link given by KevinMJohnston, thanks by the way, its the closest I have come to getting what I need but all I get is a spinning wheel in Firefox, the only browser one should ever need. In IE I get prompted for an email address, which it should
NEVER EVER DO!!!!!!!!!! I did give them my address, but alas, after waiting over 30 mins. I still don't have a link to the update or the CU4 Config MGR update mentioned. (Another reason I am not very nice to MS, along with, see below...) Please send me the
link that they are suppose to send me in the email.
As for the intensity of the request it comes from not being able to find the update on my own. (Amongst a million other complaints as MS makes my job harder and harder, just think of all the lost productivity and extra repair efforts needed because MS stopped
allowing you to do upgrade/repair installs from the install discs. You have to have a working OS to do it, or you will lose your settings etc and will have to re-install all of your software etc. How STUPID IS THAT! Can't use it to fix a blown driver or BSOD
problem like you could in XP. There is no excuse for that, I know better. So you can see why I have nothing good to say about MS etc etc.) There is no excuse for that! If the MS updater has it available then IT MUST BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR STANDALONE DOWNLOAD
PERIOD. That goes for ALL updates PERIOD. I use these updates and many others etc so that once I seal an image for a PC it has the latest greatest version of everything. It is quicker to get it stand alone in advance and installing than waiting for MS
updates to do so. Also I prefer to config my images so that the Av installs after first boot. These are cloned PCs. Many of these PC are used in labs and are frozen. Here, the settings for the SCEP AV being pushed from above can cause major problems for the
users i.e. the scheduled scan feature. If it is on when students are taking tests and they take more than 5 or 10 mins on question MS is stupid enough to start scanning causing the system to become unresponsive. This has caused students to breakdown in tears
thinking the system is hosed and they just lost their tests. I have to do some creative reg hack, setting owner as "Guest", a disabled account, etc. to keep these settings from being changed. (Our SC managers push policies that work for the faculty
but break the lab systems which are frozen, so I have to out hack them, should not be, but it is, we are trying to get that fixed, but bureaucracy and people afraid to share power etc makes it hard.) These settings unfortunately will prevent the AV from
installing so I need to be able to manually do it after I have set the reg to allow it. And I could go on. Who knows when or why someone may need to do a manual update of something. I just had 3 systems fail 12 updates, yet when I manually downloaded
them and installed them they ALL installed without failure. I did NOTHING in between the auto update and the manual, yet it was the manual way that worked. Maybe if MS could fix those kind of issues then no one would need to get stand alone update files.)
That is not for MS to worry about. It is, however, their responsibility to make it so that I can choose what will work best for my environment, which only I could know. DUH. I have had issues in the past with MS AV and other brands being installed before "sealing"
the images. etc. etc. etc.
As you can see, there is not enough space on the world wide web to list all thousands of legitimate reasons to give Microsoft a hard time so I will do so on a case by case bases knowing I am probably spitting in to the wind, but hey somebody has to have
the guts to do it. MS MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO SIMPLY GET AWAY WITH IT! They Must be called to the proverbial carpet.
Maybe if people who are MVPs would not be afraid to join the choruses they would be embarrassed, (though it should be done out of moral obligation not embarrassment), enough to fix these obviously fixable problems etc. etc. etc. I have over 30 years in the
IT business, the IBM XT did not exist until my senior year in college. You are not going to be able to convince me that there is a legitimate reason, copy protection IS NOT IT, to prevent me from fixing blown OS via re-install using install disc when OS will
not boot. Nor are you going to be able to find legitimate reason for the SCEP 4.6.305 update to be so hard to get.
Thanks again for the help, still waiting for email from MS, NOT COOL MS! NO EXCUSE!!!!!

Architecture Q. : Where should the ODI Repository Database be installed ?

Hi all,
Where should the repository ODI database be installed
=> on the same server as the source database one or ?
=> on the same server as the target database one
Thanks for your answers
Edited by: Meapri on Feb 26, 2009 6:59 AM

Hi Shib,
Maybe I could agree with you if you only use ODI for DW, for instance.
If you think about data integration, no matter what kind of system, even at transactional system, or datamart extract/load the concept of "source and target" can be any of the RDBMS at company.
What I'm defending is that in a complex environment, where ODI is the company *"data veins"*, the concept of source and target became complex too and, in my opinion, is not possible to decide where the repository should stay just by the use of those concepts.

Where should the ODI agent be

Where should the ODI agent be. In Source server or target server
app

Well when we say the Target Location we generally means the Target Database or the Data warehouse location , since data needs to pass through the Target Server (target Database ) ,as i have mentioned before in my reply the target Tables or Database is how generally where the C$ ,i$ and various $ tables and also finally the Insert /Update takes place at the Target. When the data is there in one server ,the time for the agent to move data gets reduced and thus saved time and Efficiency.
although this is not an hard and Fast rule its just an advisable practice. There are some Architecture where the ODI is installed in another Server and the Target Database is located in another Server. Some of them goes for creating the Agent at the Server where ODI is installed and so ODI communicates back and forth to in both the Server for its ELT operation.
Again there are some who creates Agent even in the Source and Target , when there are huge loads needs to be fetched and processed.
coming back to your question when you my machine , are you talking about your personal Desktop or Laptop Machine . ? In that case i guess your Target and Source and again the Agent created will be once Machine itself.
Let me know if you require any more information or clarification .

Well, I have this printer too, and I get the following response from the System Prefs Printers and Scanners when I select to add this printer:

When you go to the Epson website for this particular printer it says:
"The latest drivers for this product are available only via Apple's Software Update."
And finally, when you go to Software Update it says: "No updates available"
I second OMT8.
Yes, the driver file at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398 allowed me to finally install my printer, but does Apple have _any idea_ how long it takes to download a 1.08GB file over a 1.5mbps DSL connection?
Never mind how much of my pricey new SSD is being consumed by the resulting 1.80GB of driver files all for _one_ printer driver that should maybe occupy 200K?
Or that the primary article on OS X printer drivers (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669) -- which does indicate that the Artisan 830 is supported -- does not mention or link to the driver file that's needed to make it work?
Or what a complete violation of Apple's "it just works" gestalt it is to be confronted with the above Catch-22 and to have to search the web and then go through all of the above to make a new laptop talk to a two-year-old printer?
Yes, my printer now works, and yes, Apple's Support Communities were instrumental in getting to this point. But spending all morning (plus download time) getting a printer driver installed tastes way too much like I paid for Apple and got Microsquish.

I need to download the server runtime for BEA WEBLOGIC server

Hi ^^,
I am trying to create a web project in Eclipse WTP europa. I do not have the bea weblogic server installed on my desktop. My organization has issues running it locally. I need to first create a project and then create a war and then deploy it on server.
I am going through the tutorial at the following website:
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/community/tutorials/BuildJ2EEWebApp/BuildJ2EEWebApp.html
It says "To do this tutorial you will need a server runtime that is supported by WTP"
Also "During web application development, we will need a server runtime environment to test, debug and run our project".
Hence I need the link where I can download the server runtime for bea weblogic server.
T&R,
Prashant

MAC OS:Word cannot locate the server application for AcroExch.Document.7.objects

In MAC OS,installed Adobe reader ,When I double click a pdf file in Word2011,it shows"Word cannot locate the server application for AcroExch.Document.7.objects".what can i do to fix it?

I found out through someone else. The "how to" find the place to add it was more challenging.
Instructions:
1. Take the Webarchive file and save it on your computer (anywhere is fine).
2. Open MacMail and go to preferences>signatures and create a signature with any name and filler text. Close Macmail.
3. Open your finder, go to the "Library" folder. If you cannot view your Library folder, open up "terminal" and simply paste in: chflags nohidden ~/Library/
(this will allow you to view your Library folder from now on)
4. In your library folder, go to Mail>Mail Data>signatures
5.Copy the name of the signature file that is already in the signatures folder. It should look something like "079ADD83-A19F-4597-BBFC-4F35858894DE" After copying that name, delete the file.
6. Go to the webarchive file you saved and rename it the name of the file you just deleted. Then paste that into the library>Mail>Mail Data>signatures folder.
7. Open your macmail and see if it worked!
If my directions are not clear, you may find the following article helpful from step 5: http://code.coneybeare.net/how-to-make-an-html-signature-in-apple-mail-f
Now here's how I managed to find my Library/Mail in OSX 10.7.3:
Menu: Go
Choose: Home

Hope this helps!

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so. Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards. I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me. that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer. I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

Where is the default location for the OC4J logs?

Where is the default location for the OC4J logs?

Depends on what variant of the product you are using.
In an Oracle Applicaiton Server environment (ie the one you install versus unzip) the stdout/stderr streams from OC4J are captured in the $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/<group-instance> directory.
If you are using standalone then stdout goes to the console where you started the process.
The logs for the OC4J instance itself are located in $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/log/<instance_group> directory. In this directory you'll see different logs for differet areas of the server. Most of the logs however are captured in the oc4j sub-directory in the log.xml file. Whenever you enable an OC4J component logger in the j2ee-logging.xml file or via ASControl, this is where the logs will end up.
Take a look at the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/j2ee-logging.xml file -- the log handlers will give you some idea on the different log files that are in use.
You can configure your application loggers to also direct their log into this file if you wish. See http://buttso.blogspot.com/2007/09/directing-log-messages-into-oc4j.html for an example.

Where is the background picture for a window stored?

Greetings,
Where is the background picture for a window stored? What is the file called? I am trying to find the image used on a DVD.
Thanks

when you set a picture to be a background of some folder that picture is not moved from its original location. instead a record is made in the .DS_Store file of that folder indicating that this picture is the one to be used for the background. in case of the DVD it is likely sitting in some hidden folder right on the DVD.
run the following terminal command to enable showing hidden files in finder
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1; killall Finder
then look on the dvd and the picture should be there somewhere. if you still can't find it open the .DS_store file of the folder in question using Text Editor. a lot of this file will be unreadable but the picture path will be present in plain text.
when done rerun the above command after changing 1 to 0.
