Re: Remote Connection Failing



Well, it's because their computer is behind a NAT/Firewall. Connecting to the required ports is sending a packet back to your computer saying connection failed because their router is not configured to proxy the connection. There would be a bit of reconfiguration needed to make this happen. Unfortunately (as far as I know) there is no "request help from IP" button on the ARD client. The only way to fix this would be to reconfigure their router to port- forward to their machine. This brings other problems forward as well, their IP address (internally, the 192.168.yadda.yadda) address will change from time to time. I suggest waiting for your IT guy, or make him come in! Or hopefully he can work remotely? :) --nate

Gentlemen,

Please forgive me. I'm a dumb blonde, no make that a dumb blonde who has
been thrown into the position I find myself in because our IT guy is out
sick.


I am using ARD 3.1 --- both Admin and clients on OS X 10.4.8 --- all
systems. I tested things out on our local network -- and all is great. I
can connect to clients, copy files, etc.


HOWEVER, I was then asked to give support to a client -- out of house.

I had the client install ARD 3.1 client / create a user account for ARD and
enabled ALL privileges -- actually for both the ARD User (with admin
privileges and the Main Admin user account


In the ARD 3.1 Admin I chose scanner / chose Network Address / and then
typed in the IP address.


I realized that the IP the client provided was actually a localhost IP --
specifically 192.168.0.6 ----- tried to connect , but failed (obviously)


Then I asked the client to go to whatismyip.com -- they told me it was
71.113.97.178

I entered that in --- and was returned with a user name of---

"pool-73-113-97-178-sttlwa.dsl-w.verizon.net"

Tried to connect again -- but no go.

I had he client go to System Prefs and highlight the Apple Remote Desktop
Share -- and it said that other users can connect remotely at address:
192.168.0.6


I don't claim to be an IT kind of gal -- but I do make great coffee.

Could someone be so kind as o help me out????

Thanks, I desperately need to access the client's Mac!!!!

JJ
