Network Library partial failure

I have a Tiger Server with about a half-dozen clients. I've implemented a Network Library for font sharing, and for a few months it worked great. Now all but two of the clients cannot mount the NL --it appears in the Finder as an alias that can't be resolved. The remaining two clients still mount the NL without problem. There's no rhyme or reason to why this has happened: no server failure, client blow-up, etc. The clients without the NL can still mount the server via AFP.
So far I've tried restarting a client, deleting then creating anew the LDAP link (Directory Access), deleting all client caches, and copying the SystemConfiguration folder from /Library/Preferences on one of the working clients.
I'm not at that network site on a daily basis so I'm hoping for suggestions I can try the next time I'm there.

Hi;
maybe you have a firewall or any other networking equipment in the middle that would cut a connection that is inactive for too long?
There are some keep alive parameters.

    Please can someone help me to solve the error message "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"when using 3G or GPRS on safari with an iphone 4GS and latest software updates. I have tried resetting the network and phone settings. I have restored the factory settings on itunes and still the problem persists.

  • Java networking library with RMI-like functionality?

    Is anyone aware of a Java networking library, that provides RMI like functionality and TCP/IP with an intuitive API and minimal coding required? I'm working on a prototype, but I'm having difficulty getting Java's RMI functionality working through Netbeans, so while I'm prototyping I'm looking for alternatives so I can code more and frustrate less!
    Thanks

    Thanks ejp.
    I guess I'll re-phrase the original question. Is there a small open-source Java networking library that doesn't include RMI, but gives a simple API for TCP/IP connections (higher level than sockets) and includes file transfer? I don't know if I need things like FTP/HTTP/POP/SMTP support etc for now.
    ThanksI gotta be honest with you here. I think you need to stop coding for now and get your requirements in hand with a better grasp on how network programming works.
    Not being insulting here but your questions show your current knowledge level on the subject to be not really sufficient for success with whatever it is you want to do.
    There is the networking tutorial available here http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/index.html but it might do you well to tell us exactly what you are trying to do. Are you trying to build an FTP client? Are you trying to build a whole client/server program of some sort?
    Because everything now is very vague. You seem to be looking for protocols or API's between TCP and things like FTP for example and none exist because these sit directly on top of TCP. So you either deal directly with the Sockets or you deal with some library that deals with the protocol in question. There isn't an "in-between" layer here.

  • ERROR: Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure

    I have an iPhone 3g that was given to me by a friend a couple months ago. Before I got the phone i was on a plan with Softbank in japan with another cell phone. When i got the iphone i unlocked it so that i could use my old sim card with the iphone. everything worked out fine, i was unable to use the internet via 3g since it wasnt on my plan but i could text and make calls with no problem.
    Everything was working fine until yesterday when i started getting this error message: "Could not activate cellular data network: PDP authentication failure"
    once this happened i could no longer text or make calls. my iphone recognizes the sim card, shows one bar of signal, the network, and the 3g symbol. i have also rebooted, restored, reset network settings, and talked with Softbank; all had no help.
    i have no idea how to fix it, any suggestions would be awesome.
    thanks.

  • Network Library Fonts

    Hi all,
    I recently created a soft link to a Networked filespace and now have an alias in the Network directory
    /Network/Library -> <nework file space>
    I do this in a startup script that I created in /Library/StartupItems. In this script I make sure I get rid of the automount Library alias.
    But my Mac will only see my "Network Library Fonts" some of the times.
    It will always see my "Network Library Sounds".
    So I'm curious why this may the case. In the font book, it shows "Network" as disabled, but it will not let me enabled it.
    Is there a process that reads in the fonts at startup. Maybe my startup script is running into some race conditions, if there is such a process.
    Any insight is much appreciated. Thanks..

    OK, I was doing something really dumb here and I've fixed it (I have another folder called "fonts" outside the library folder, duh. Still, it seems that if fonts are in folders (instead of loose) the client systems can't see them. Is this expected behaviour?
    When they're in local font folders this is fine though. As there are about 350 fonts that we have installed it's nice to have them all neatly grouped in folders (as there are only about 25 families, just lots of styles in them).

    Do we miss some options or flags the CC command line?
    Any help or hints are warmly welcome
    Anton

    You say you are having trouble with Studio 12.3. Did this code work before with some earlier Studio version? I suspect not, because you need to link system libraries that are not on the CC command line that you show.
    First, some general comments.
    1. The -xlang=f90 option should be used if and only if you are linking Fortran 90 binaries to your program. Ditto for -xlang=c99 and C 99.
    2. Never use -L options that point into /usr/lib or into the compiler installation area. The CC driver knows where to find default system libraries and in what order to search for them. Specifying these directories with -L can cause the wrong libraries to be linked. If you added those options because they seemed to solve a linking problem, something else is wrong, and should be fixed.
    Now some specifics about missing libraries.
    Check the man page for a missing function, and see if the man page lists a library that needs to be linked. Unfortunately, not all man pages are so helpful. Let's track down one set of functions as an example of how to find the missing library.
    A set of missing functions starts with "xdr". Let's try "man xdr_string". Although the page does not tell you what library to link, the man page is in section 3NSL, and some xdr functions in the "see also" are in the same section. Is there a library with nsl in its name?
    % cd /usr/lib
    % ls -R | grep nsl
    libnsl.so
    % nm libnsl.so | grep xdr_
    [ long list of xdr functions]So we know we need to add -lnsl to the CC command line. Repeat this process until done.
    The author of an application library usually knows what system libraries to link, and a helpful programmer would include this information in README or man page for the application libraries that you are using. Did you check for documentation first?

  • Problems with /Network/Library/Fonts/ automount

    Okay, so I am having problems with setting up a /Network/Library/Fonts/ automount in order to share a master set of fonts among designers.
    I created a folder on our XServe RAID volume called "Shared Libraries". Inside it, I created a folder called "Fonts" and installed some test fonts. So the path is /Shared Libraries/Fonts.
    I went to Workgroup Manager, I enabled Sharing for "Shared Libraries". Privileges for Everyone are set to Read Only. it is set to Share this item Using AFP. Guest access is enabled. I enable Network Mounting of this share point via AFP, and I set it to Use for Shared Library.
    So, I restart the client. I login, I go to Network, then Libraries, and my fonts folder shows up.
    HOWEVER, when I go to FontBook, it shows Network with "OFF" next to it. None of my fonts are displayed. I right click on Network and select Enable Network, and nothing happens. None of my fonts show up.
    Any ideas what could be causing this? Am I missing a step?
    Thanks!
    Tyler

    Figured out the problem - PRivileges need to be set to READ AND WRITE. Made the change, and all is well.

  • Pages templates and /Network/Library

    Pages doesn't seem to use template files in any Library folder other than a User Library. Files in neither /System/Library nor /Network/Library appear in the template chooser.
    I administer an Xserve with a shared Open Directory domain, and I have a Library folder published to network clients so that it appears in /Network/Library. Most applications seem to honor /Network/Library; for example, I have a company Fonts directory in there for font sharing.
    I assumed I'd be able to create a path like this:
    /Network/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/<My Templates>
    and it should show any templates saved there in the Template Chooser whenever you do File > New in Pages. However it doesn't work.
    Any ideas? Shouldn't this work?

    I have to agree with your post here. I have just tried to do the exact same thing and was suprised to find it didn't work.
    Very poor.
    I am now going to have to look at creating and distributing a templates package to all users. Talk about pain in the rear.

  • How to use /Network/Library/Fonts

    I have several computers (some running OSX 10.5, some 10.4) connected on a home LAN. I'd like to centralize my font management so I don't have to manually install fonts on every machine.
    Apple suggests I could put all my fonts in /Network/Library/Fonts and have them shared among the computers, but doesn't give any details: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2435
    I see that all my machines have a /Network directory, but it's empty. Anyone know how I can set this up? Thanks!!

    Hi
    The KB article says:
    +"The Network folder is for fonts shared among all users of a local area network. This feature is normally used on network file servers, under the control of a network administrator."+
    For this to work the way you want it to you would need OSX Server. There may be someone who could possibly outline how this can be done in a non-server environment (doubtful) over on the Server Forum:

  • Network Library works, Font Collections don't

    I have a Tiger Server with a Network Library. The server itself contains a bunch of Adobe fonts organized into a couple of collections. I copied the fonts and the collections into the NL's Fonts and FontCollections folders. All the NL's fonts correctly show on the client Macs and appear in client Font Book apps. The NL's collections do appear in the NL as viewed by Finder on client Macs, but do not appear in client Font Book apps. Deleting and re-creating the collections on the server end had no effect. I'm at a loss as to how to get client Font Book apps to recognize the NL's collections.

    this is the same problem i am having with my xp side i am not getting the correct ip address and looking for a way to obtain the correct ip address not the one it is creating.
