How to share an Internet via Mac OS Leopard to other computers

If your Mac computer has an Internet from Chello, the only way to share it is the following steps: 1. Go to Control Panel (you find it in your Finder) 2. From the menu Internet and Network choose Sharing 3. After this step, you see on your Control Panel, a list of computer's sharing possibilities (File sharing, Web sharing, Screen Sharing and so on....) 4. Choose an Internet sharing 5. Define how to use an Internet together (through Ethernet in this case) 6. Define how the other computers get your Internet (throhgh Airport in this case) 7. Further more you could define a password in order to protect your connection from unknown users, or just leave without password if you dont mind that other unknown users use your Internet. That are probably all steps!!! And it should definitely work, if you follow this instruction clearly.

Installing and using iCal Server

  1. When configuring Mac OS X Leopard Server, three options are available: standard, workgroup and advanced configuration. Advanced is to be used if an iCal Server shall be hosted
  2. A correct defined DNS is necessary.
    • In the program ServerAdmin select the service DNS
    • In the program ServerAdmin in the DNS part add a new primary zone (e.g. techscreen.at)
    • Add a record for the computer hosting the iCal server (e.g. server results in the fully qualified name of "server.techscreen.at"
  3. Users have to defined in Open Directory (a kind of LDAP server) that can access the iCal server.
    • In the program ServerAdmin select the service Open Directory
    • In the program ServerAdmin in the Open Directory create a master directory
    • A kerberos server for authorization will be created if Open Directory is started. The Kerberos realm in our example is "SERVER.TECHSCREEN.AT"
    • If the state of Kerberos is "not working" after start of Open Directory then the DNS was not configured correctly
  4. Add a user
  • In the program workgroup manager add a user that may have access to the iCal server (e.g. student with password "Reine")
  • In the Advanced tab enable calendaring for this user
  • Enabling iCal Server
    • In the settings of the programm ServerAdmin select the service iCal
    • In the programm ServerAdmin in the iCal part select a domain name such as "server.techscreen.at"
    • Do not select SSL unless you have a real certificate, otherwise no access to the server is possible
  • Access from a Mac OS X client to the iCal Server
    • In the program Directory Service add the name of the server (i.e. server.techscreen.at)
    • In the iCal program select settings|accounts and add user (e.g. student) and the password
    • Now a calendar is shown in iCal. The name of the calendar can be changed and new events can be entered. Every other user that knows about the user name and the password can now access this calendar. This should be also possible fro other programs supporting iCal and CalDAV
