TS1843 PowerMac G4 having issues with file server

My dad has 2 computers one is an old apple PowerMac G4 running mac OS 9.2 and the other is an Mac Mini running Mac OS X,
Recently I updated the Internet connectivity in the house by adding some routers. On all routers is the DHCP disable except on the main router (which is directly connected to the other routers). this works great for all computers/tablets/phones/...
Except the inner connection between those 2 doesn't work any more, but for being able to anything on the G4 you have to login on the file server of the mac mini. but I always get an error that he can't connect to the server (or similar, this error is in Dutch).
they used to be connected via a hub which was connected to the main router (even installing that one back doesn't work anymore), they do have the same IP as they had before the upgrade.
When I do an IP swipe, or check the connected devices(on any router). the G4 isn't connected, but the light on the router is flickering (although the light on the router is not fully on). I got a couple of times that the G4 showed up in the list, I could ping it, but still I wasn't able to login.
I think there is a possibility that the IP that it currently has is conflicting with an other device on the network, the main router is provided by my ISP and they say you can't use the 192.168.x.100 IP, but the g4 uses that one. (so if I would be able to change it before launch, that would be a way to cancel out that problem)
I tried just having those 2 computers in a network disabled from all the rest, with the DHCP enabled on the router, but still no connectivity.
I'm completely out of ideas on how to fix this.
greetings Glenn

What software is the file server running?   If it is a Mac OS X server, the forum for that is here.

  • Having issues with report server in OEM

    I'm having some issues with viewing the UNIX metrics for our reports server in OEM. The metrics are coming up as 0, no error messages. The cpu/memory metrics come up for the HTTP server, and on the instance page.
    I'm also not able to stop/start the reports server via OEM. It's greyed out on the oem instance page.
    This is occurring only on one machine...I have another midtier box and have no issues viewing metrics/start/stopping report server.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Hi Thomas,
    Thanks for your post.
    I 'd like to suggest you can try to sing out and re-sign in the Azure server explore.
    1.right click the Azure node on server explore.
    2.Select "Connect to with Microsoft Azure " and then login using your account.
    3.Make sure your select the right subscription.
    4.If storage list didn't include your  account, you could right-click the storage node, and select Attach External Storage.
    Another approach is that you can re-install the
    Azure tool.

  • Having issues with VS Server Explorer viewing Azure Storage

    Hi,
    I've been using VS server explorer pretty successfully for awhile. Recently (not sure of the exact point), the Azure storage portion started giving me trouble. It would not auto-populate with my storage account, and I now have to manually input the account
    name and key manually each time to get my storage to pop up. 
    Also, I can no longer access any blobs via server explorer. It says invalid key - even though I can access via other means with the same account name and key. I have already tried making sure my computer has the correct time synced up. Are there any other
    steps I can try do fix this issue? For now I am using a third party client to perform blob admin operations, but it would be really convenient if I could continue to do so with VS server explorer.
    Thanks,
    Thomas

  • Anyone else having issues with files on sd card???

    For the last month or so, my files on SD card on my Classic keep "dissapearing" however when I plug the card on my computer everything is there....
    Do we know how to avoid this? Is anyone else having the same issues? It can't even back them up unless I take the card out.
    Help!!!

    Hi @oorozcob 
    Thanks for reaching out! That's a pretty strange issue
    To confirm, the contents of your media card accessible on your device but occasionally they don't appear? 
    If so, when this occurs does the Media Card option within File Manager disappear? 
    To remedy the situation you may to consider backing up the contents of your media card using your computer, followed by formatting the media card using your device. After doing this copy the content on your PC back onto the media card and monitor the situation to see if it disappears again?

  • Anyone having issues with TFTP server on Mountain Lion?

    It worked before I upgraded. I've tried modifing the tftp.plist file a couple of times and verified permissions on all the folders. I'm not sure why it's not working.
    I also tried downloading the TftpServer Gui App and that won't run on Mountain Lion either.

  • I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad).   Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes so I want to restore it.  Dont want to lose my files from my iPad.

    Actually I have 2 problems:  I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad).  I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
    Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it.  I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore.  My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems.  I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions?  Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6?  (currently 7.0.3).

  • Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I am operating with CS4. Photoshop produces an error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Recently upgraded to a Canon Mark 3 and now having issues with my RAW files in Bridge and Photoshop. I have operating with CS4. Photoshop produces and error " Could not complete your request because photoshop does not recognize this type of file"

    Assuming you mean 5D Mark III, Photoshop CS4 cannot directly open raw files from your camera.
    Generally speaking, Adobe stopped updating older versions to be able to read raw files from newer cameras when they released a new major version of Photoshop. Photoshop CS4 is no longer receiving Camera Raw updates.
    You can double check this yourself:
    First you need to determine whether Adobe has released support for your new camera in your version of Photoshop. To do that, look at these two pages. You'll want to find out the earliest version of Camera Raw that can support your camera, then what version of Photoshop can run that version of Camera Raw.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    If you find your camera is supported by your version of Photoshop, you need to download the latest update for Camera Raw. There's more information on how to do that here:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    If your version of Photoshop cannot support your camera, you can download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, which can take your raw files as input and put out DNG format files, which your version of Photoshop can open.
    Photoshop Help | Digital Negative (DNG)
    The DNG converter DOES work, but if you want maximal quality from your raw files (not to mention the convenience and ease of use of directly opening your raw files) you'll want the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe has made substantial improvements in raw conversion quality in recent years.

  • Having issues with Illustrator files in CS5

    I recently uninstalled CS4, needing the memory space. Now I am having issues with Illustrator CS5. When I go to open the program, i am receiving this error message: "Adobe Illustrator has detected a problem with the windows registry which needs to be corrected for Illustrator to work properly. Would you like Illustrator to correct the problem now?"    so i click "yes" and the program opens, but then when i go to open a file, the AI icon doesnt show up on any of the files, it takes forecer to open, if it even opens the file - sometime i get the message "cannot recognize file type".

    Your install never finished properly. Run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall all your Adobe software from scratch with proper admin privileges and security tools turned off to prevent interference.

    I've encountered this error myself upon occasion.  If I remember correctly, it was a permissions/ownership issue with the some of the files I was copying.

  • I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.

    I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
    /Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
    Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
    If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
    Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
    I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait.

    Captivate 8 - How to change to producing "project.json" file instead of a "project.txt" file?  Having issues with viewing published projects due to this.   Would be thankful fo rany/all advice.

    I'm having the same issue. I've been able to work around it by opening the txt file and copying the contents. Then I open a new file in Sublime Text 2, paste the contents and save the new file as "project.json". It seems to work, but it'd been nice if I didn't have to do this everytime I publish a new project.

  • Having issues with clearing files off the screen, also I pad reverts to a previous screen, without any input ? Using I pad Air, latest OS just downloaded few days ago. any others with similiar problems ?

    I Pad Air, I OS 8, just download several days.  having issues with; screen reerts to a previous screen without input.  2 On Google Earth cannot get street view in "some instances", Okay on regular computer.  3. Unable to clear off screen, which causes problems trying to get to diferent website. 

    Whenever I say I "Rebooted" I always did a shut down/start up. Not a restart.
    What you said works as a temporary fix, but I don't want to keep doing it because:
    1) The drive makes a noise when the computer is shut down indicating the drive was disconnected improperly.
    2) I don't want to shut my computer off after every use, nor do I only want to back up my computer once every few days.
