HELP!!! Windows Vista/XP can't see XServe on network

I can find the share points on the server by typing in the address in an explore window (\\TLDMacserver\production and can view all sharepoints at
TLDMacserver), but the XServe is not showing up in Start/My Network Places/View workgroup computers.
I insured that the smb services are running on the XServe. Beyond that I don't know what else to check.
Any ideas?
thanks,
chas

In Server Admin, go to SMB, then Advanced, make sure Workgroup Master Browser is checked, and then check Enable WINS Server.

  • Windows 7 machine can't see 802.11n network

    (I actually have a Time Capsule but since this is a wi-fi question I'm posting it here.)
    I have a Dell running Windows 7 (32-bit) that has a wireless dongle. The dongle is supposed to be 802.11n.
    However, that computer never connects using n, it only connects at g.
    I tried creating separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks on the Time Capsule, and the Dell DOES NOT EVEN SEE the 5GHz network. I can stand with a Macbook in the exact same location as the Dell and get a strong 5GHz signal.
    Any clues?

    My guess is that Win7 "recognized" the device as a Realtek and substituted the Realtek drivers for it. Did your Zonet come with an installation CD ... or provides a web support site? If either, I would strongly suggest, that you use their drivers instead ... and this is a good reason you're only getting access with the 802.11g mode.

  • Printing From iBook To Printer on Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printers

    Printing From iBook To Printer on Windows Vista Desktop, Can't see shared printer on a Vista machine from a Mac, although Windows notebooks find it immediately.
    I have previously always had success sharing printers on Windows XP machines with my iBooks. . However upon installing Vista RC1 on my desktop I find I can no longer find the printer in the Mac's printer setup utility. When I dual boot back to XP everything works fine, but on the same machine when I boot into Vista I am unble to see the printers. The Mac printer setup utility finds the Vista machine on the network, but the printers are never visible. Is their some secret or channge in Vista that prevents Mac's running , in my case,Tiger 10.4.8 from seeing a shared printer on a computer running Vista
    On the Vista machine, if I boot into XP The printer is shared and Windows notebooks can print to it, but neither of my iBooks can see the Printers when Vista is running.

    That might have been the situation for the beta's and first RC's, but I have a final build. Plus the fact that other Windoze notebooks see the printer on the Vista box just fine leads one to believe it is a mac/Vista specific issue.
    If anyone actually has experience with a MAC and Vista , I would appreciate hearing from you.
    thanks,

  • I have windows vista  and can open itunes but cannot access store anymore it tries but stops like it's stuck no message comes up .I would be grateful of any help. thankyou

    I have windows vista and can access my itune downloads but when I try to access the store it thinks about it and then stops - the bar is stuck halfway across.  I get no message come up.  Desperate to access the store but am at a loss what to do. I am a novice on the computer so an idiot's guide for me would be welcome.  many thanks, regards Lesley

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • My iphone can't see any wifi networks

    my iphone can't see any wifi networks ... i tried to reset network setting and reset all setting and update the ios system but no way

    I, too, fear it might be a hardware problem . I removed all security from my router but still no networks appear in the list nor can I connect directly by typing in the SSID. Tried two routers: Apple Airport Extreme and a Linksys something-er-other provided by Bell.
    I will give HP a call tomorrow and see if they can sort this out.
    Thank you for your help/advice!
    Edit: almost certain it's a hardware problem: I clicked on the Help button while on that "Scanning for networks" dialog during initial setup and as one of the "helpful" suggestions, it said my Mac address was 00:00:00:etc.

  • Server can't see itself on network, other devices can

    When I create a Network user either using Server app or Workgroup manager home folder is not created. I started digging and I found that all devices on the network can see and access server's afp, but server can't see itself on network. On everyone's computer's "server" is shown inside finder, but if I open server's finder I can only see other's computers but I can't see server.
    I've tried opening afp://(IP ADDRESS), afp://(DOMAIN), afp://localhost and none of this work inside server. DNS is fine, users can log and see files, etc. The only thing not working is afp from within the server and therefore user's accounts can't be created.
    As a background I have a mac mini running under Mountain Lion with OS Server. I had an issue with Open Directory on which I couldn't edit/create/delete any user so I erased the OD Database and started over again.
    Any idea will be very appreciated.
    Thanks All !!!

    Thanks a lot for your quick response, I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly but if I use anything with afp.XXXX I get an error saying afp.XXXX.com not found (NXDOMAIN) but also I don't have any server named "afp".
    If I use it without "afp." I get:
    Using domain server:
    Name: 192.168.3.254
    Address: 192.168.3.254#53
    Aliases:
    (server).com has address 192.168.3.254
    or if I use 192.168.3.1 (main router) I get the public IP since everything is forwarded to that server (is the onlyone on the network).
    For checking DNS I used changeip -checkhostname and I get:
    Primary address     = 192.168.3.254
    Current HostName    = (server).com
    DNS HostName        = (server).com
    The names match. There is nothing to change.
    dirserv:success = "success"
    When I connect my clients to VPN I don't have any DNS issues.
    I also thought it was a DNS problem but FTP, Web, and everything else works within the server, within the network and for external networks, AFP is the onlything not working.
    Please let me know if you need any information, I really appreciate your help since this is anoying and I can't create folders for new users even if I use "createhomedir" command.
    Thanks!!

  • Airport Extreme green light but can't see the wifi network

    Hello, coming back from the holidays I can't see my Wifi network anymore (From PS3, Phone, Computers ..etc.). My airport has a greenlight and the internet is working fine if my computer is connected with an Ethernet cable. I re-did the configuration many times and I did a hard reset of both my modem and the airport. It is not setted to a hidden connection. All the settings are basic like before. The only difference is that I did the update to 7.6.4.

    I think you were right, my airport was broken and I noticed that at the end of the configuration process where there's a green checkmark it was written in the bottom that a wifi device wasn't working properly. Nothing could be done to make it work though.
    I bought a new Airport Express now but I still have a major problem. I was able to configure it through wifi with my iMac without any problem and now it is connected to the internet via wifi perfectly but i STILL can't see the network with either my Android phone or my PS3 console !?
    - Brand new airport express
    - configured to "create a wifi network" with a WPA2 password using the simple steps of the airport utility
    - Airport Utility 5.6.1
    I did reset the airport express a few times with the utility and by removing the power cord. I also did reset my iMac and I can still connect to the wifi just fine with it.

  • Windows 8, Error: "Can't connect to this network"

    I have wracked my brain, my colleague’s brains, and used my googlefu to no avail.
    I have a Win8 basic (cheapest OS) HP tablet 1000G2 that I am having troubles with. I have a network that requires WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP. It will not connect to this network, it will however connect to a neighboring network without
    any security settings. I have fixed this issue once before and the same fix is not working.
    The kicker... I have another exact same tablet that we got the same day... No issues connecting
    Problem: It does not take the security settings that the server is prompting for. It prompts me for my credentials, but gives this error: "Can't connect to this network"
    I did research last time and the collective reason was that the security settings weren't correct.
    Solution that worked last time:
    Connect to a network with open sec settings.
    Open network and sharing center
    Change adapter settings.
    Right click wireless adapter click status
    Wireless properties.
    Security tab.
    Change my network settings
    Reconnect to my network
    The tablet has been fine until today. These steps above do not resolve the issue anymore.
    THERE IS NO VIRUS PROTECTION BESIDES WHAT WINDOWS OFFERS ON THIS DEVICE!
    Troubleshooting steps I have tried: deleting all the wlan profiles with
     http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/manage-wireless-network-profiles
    and used http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-networking/windows-8-laptop-wont-connect-to-the-wireless/256c8bd2-e11f-4746-b3aa-3e6eb8305b56 page.
    Change any properties one at a time that I thought might deal with this.
    Removed all HP bloatware/3rd party connection managers.
    Troubleshooting I tried last time:
    Uninstalled and installed adapter drivers.
    Tried the windows diagnose
    Googlefu "Can't connect to this network" and you come up with a bunch of pages I have clicked on them and none of the solutions have worked.
    Please if you have any solutions let me know! I am at my wits end with this dang thing.

    These are all logical ideas, but alas I have already checked all of this. We do not have any blocking other than credentials(which are not locked and are correct). The amount of connections would be determined by how many IP Addresses that I have(which is
    a ton). Not the wireless router, because we have many other devices that connect to it just fine. No mac filter. No the other pc isn't connected. No it is only connecting to one network.
    I should mention that this is in an enterprise and not an at home network. It is a WAP not Wireless Router.

  • You Tube requires Flash update. Worked for laptop Windows 7 but not PC Windows Vista. Can you help?

    You Tube said I needed latest Adobe Flash Player, so uninstalled old version and reinstalled latest version 11.6.602.171 on PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS.  My system says it's there, but it still won't work on You Tube - still get same message saying Ineed latest version.
    Had same message on my Laptop running Windows 7 and it updated and works fine.  I use Internet Explorer 9.
    Detailed Problem Description: Problem with downloading latest Adobe Flash update and viewing YouTube.  On PC running Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit OS, You Tube home page red banner at top said I needed to install latest Adobe Flash Player but even after installing, it does not work and will not play most videos in browser and shows black screen with message still asking to download latest version.  Seems to be rather random as to which videos it will play and which ones it won't, although there may be some common link (see examples below).  I thought it might have been HTML5 problem but I have successfully played HTML5 and Non-HTML videos through Adobe test site (Adobe Flash Player Help/Video Playback Issues) as well as Stage Videos. (Note: Had same You Tube messages when viewing on Laptop running Windows 7 but that updated without problem.)
    Ran Adobe Uninstall. Closed all other programs before reinstalling direct from Adobe (rather than You Tube link). No change.
    Ran all Adobe troubleshooting suggestions listed at http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_.
    Removed browsing data and deleted cache, checked that Internet Tools\Safety\Active X filtering was disabled (but in Internet Option\Security, Active X controls are enabled), disabled Hardware Acceleration, restarted computer but no change to You Tube viewing.  Re-enabled, but no change.  (WOULD LOVE ADVICE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE IF I SHOULD KEEP THIS ENABLED OR DISABLED.)
    I have updated graphics drivers for NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT- although had to do manually as NVIDIA auto system scan said "could not detect your GPU". Noted they said Windows Vista supports up to Direct X 10, but my system is running Direct X 11.  Had optional update message for "nVidia Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM 1.2, other Hardware NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT" on both PC & laptop.  Laptop downloaded fine. Tried to download on PC but was not successful. Error Code 80070103, possibly because system had already been updated? Current driver version 9.18.13.1407 - "Windows has determined that your current driver software is up to date".
    Running Norton 360 but it did not block or indicate any problems with Flash Player download.
    Problem URL: http://www.youtube.com/?utm_source=navclient (red banner at top of home page says I still need to download latest Adobe Flash).

    Dear Chris,
    Thanks for reply.  I ran the recommened Adobe uninstall program so assumed it deleted whatever it should have, before installing new version.  When it didn't work I followed instructions in Flash Player help page (screen shot below) which said to delete the Roaming App Data/Macromedia/Flash folder and Roaming App Data/Adobe/Flash folder, which I did. 
    Below are screen shots of C:\windows\system32\macromed\flash files as they currently stand.  I have a fuzzy recollection that it was deleted at some point because I think I went searching for it during one troubleshooting session and it couldn't be found (but maybe I'm geting confused with the App Date folders?).  Anyway I presume these current files are all post-reinstallation as the dates are all 5 or 6 March (did them before and after midnight).  I'm on Australian time - not sure where you are. However, notice install.log date is 21/05/2010 and Flash Player Trust sub-folder is dated 6/09/2008.
    When I right click on the screen of both videos that will and won't play, I just get a list of options starting at "Copy video URL" down to "About HTML5".   So not sure what you mean when you say "For the videos that do play, when you right click on them what version of Flash Player is reported at the bottom of the context menu?" as I can't see any info like this.  Do I click somewhere else?
    If you are able to get the info you are after yourself, two videos that will work are:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OLKlTN1JN7w and
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGbrFmPBV0Y
    Also, with hardware acceleration enabling or disabling, the only place I can find to do this is through the Adobe Flash Help page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-games-video-or.html#main_2__Disable_Ac tiveX_Filtering__if_you_are_using_Internet_Explorer_9_
    and right clicking on the Flash Player info box, going into Settings and checking or unchecking the Enable box.  Do you know if there is another setting in my actual computer where I can do this and or there's some other setting I need to change?  There doesn't seem to be anything similar when I go through Conrol Panel - Flash Player.
    5. Delete all Flash Player browsing data
      a.. Click Start > Control Panel.
      b.. Double-click Flash Player.
      c.. In the Flash Player Setting Manager, click Advanced.

    6. Remove Flash Player cache
      a.. On your computer, select Start > Run. (On Windows 7, click Start and type in Search Programs and Files.)
      b.. Type %appdata%\Adobe and click OK.
      c.. Delete the Flash Player folder.
      d.. Repeat step 1 and type %appdata%\Macromedia.
      e.. Delete the Flash Player folder.

  • I can not seem to get itunes downloaded onto my desktop computer. I have windows vista. Can anyone help me please?

    Can someone help me download itunes onto my desktop computer? I have Windows Vista. When I try to download itunes this is what pops up "this instillation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package." So with that said can someone please tell me what is going on I have tried everything I know?

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
