networking

I have a Mac mini connected to a 4tb drive for Time Machine backup and a 1tb drive for work files. We are a box company and do a lot of image work and layout. I have a coworker using the same drive through a Netgear switch that we are both connected in order to access office printers...

I just had to re-route an ethernet cable in the office and it required me to cut off the rj45 and replace it after rethreading the cable through the new route. I cut off the end so I'd remake the cable the same way - looking at the bottom of the rj left to right - wo-o-wg-b-wb-g-wbr-br. When I...

I got this BitDefender-powered software when I bought a small Orbi Mesh system last year. It's clean, simple and doesn't intrude needlessly. It (probably does) cover my iMac and two iDevices. It'll cost me $60 for the year ahead and $99 thereafter. It has spotted nothing on any ot 3 gadgets. I...

It's been a while since I posted on the forums, but I'm looking to replace my aging Apple AirPort Extreme router which has been having some problems, and there are just way too many routers on the market to make an informed decision from just Google searches. So hopefully some of you can help...

I have a mid 2012 MacPro running Sierra with 32gb RAM. I'd like to use both Ethernet ports on the back - one for file transfers and one for office networking and printing. Is there a way to do this?

I am trying to connect to a windows 2019 web server from a Mac running 10.14.6 using Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.3.10 (1783). The second it connects to the server, the window disappears. Previously it worked. Can anyone suggest a solution? Thank you.

Unfortunately my iMac is nowhere near the router so I can't use an ethernet cable. All the guides I've read say that due to the Mac’s limitation you can’t be connected to a Wi-Fi network and host a Wi-Fi network at the same time. But has anyone figured out a workaround?

I set option "automatically hide and show the dock" for dock bar but to hide it I have to move pointer in bottom side of screen and to move it more times to this direction, otherwise dock is always shown. After this behaviour, dock automatically hide for opened application and It's ok. If I open...

Hello all I'am struggling to convert a working Linux routing rule to a MacOS routing rule. The two machines are on the same physical network.Note I'am not expert in routing but I tried a lot of different options to try to mimic the working routing rule. So here is the Linux routing table...

I have all Apple equipment on a network behind an Apple Extreme router in DHCP+NAT mode. We are reasonably prudent about which websites we visit and which email links to click. Now on the scene is a friend with a Dell laptop running some flavor of Windows. You can probably guess where I'm...

Hi all.... I have multiple Airport Extremes and Airport Expresses located around my home to try and get the best wi-fi/broadband coverage that I can to my family member and various Airplay and Wi-Fi enables devices. But sometimes when either I add a new Airport Express or I restart the network...

Heya. It's been a while since I created a new thread. I've been using macOS Sierra for maybe two weeks (last beta and then GM versions), and today I noticed something strange: My devices asked for the network password, which should've been saved anyway. After that, I decided to look at the...

Proxies have always confused me. Here's my question. If I'm on a home computer, using OPEN DNS and I have a modem provided by Charter (the service provider), and it goes to my Netgear Router, is the Netgear router acting like a proxy? Is Open DNS? Or, the FIREWALL setting in System...
