10.4.x clients reporting slow and disconnected afp connections from 10.5.4

I have a Leopard server serving a small group of users. Most of the clients are on 10.4 (there may be one on 10.3.9). I have one guy on 10.5.5. The guy on Leopard has not had any issues since he has been on Leopard.
The 10.4 users seem to be experiencing sporadic slowness throughout the day, and sometimes disconnects from the AFP shares. I have not seen anything going on with the server during the times this happens. I even moved a small backup database backup job to run at night rather than during the day. This didn't seem to have any affect.
The data the users are accessing is on a fiber attached raid array. Thought I'd throw that in if it would be of any help.
I am trying the suggestion for tuning afp on Tiger clients by changing the afpwanquantum preference on one of the clients, but I'm thinking that this is not the cause.
Has anyone experienced this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken

Chiming in with another me too! When we noticed it never happens on leopard clients we stepped up our leopard roll out! so far still no leopard client problems.
We had a workround that we deployed multiple times a day which was to 'shake off' the server with an IP change . To expand:
If a client was suspected of having what we called the 'slow homes' issue we checked it out by copying a small 1MB file from the home to the clients local disk. when it wasn't instant - and sometimes it took a loooooong time and tied up finder for a while - then that was proof +ve.
workround was to change the IP address of the client. now we have a DHCP environment (MS-infrastructure of course), so how we did that was
1 - "DHCP with manual address" and assign a known free address (around .150 in that VLAN usually)
2 - find an unused 'sacrificial client' in the same VLAN and set it to "DHCP with manual address" and the original client's address - effectively squatting/occupying that spot from the DHCP-server's PoV
3 - return the original client to plain DHCP and wait for a new address to be assigned.
4 - wait for the mac to sort itself out and do the 1MB copy test. much faster? then sorted
5 - return the sacrificial client to DHCP too
hope this helps someone out there.

    Hi Scott.
    There is a problem - but Apple have not acknowledged it. Many people on these forums are experiencing the same issue.
    To get something done, you should report it here. The more of us that tell Apple about it, the more likely they are to fix it. You could also send a short email headed 'Apple TV update problems' to

  • New Macbook Air i5 wireless is very slow and disconnect again and again. Any one has the same issue or some help??

    I recently bought a new 13 inch Macbook air and wireless internet is really slow and disconnect again and again. However I hav another windows laptop at the same place and that never disconects or looses signals? wireless on this mac is too slow that I cannot even use to make a skype call. I am new mac user and getting a bit disappointed because of this bad performance.I googled about this issue and found that lot of people are having the same issue with macbook air. I switched off the bluetooth adaptor but still no progress. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

    I am experiencing something similar with my MBA 13"/i5/256GB.
    To take it one step further, I started up a Terminal session and ran a ping against my wireless router. I see the same pattern repeated over and over: I get about 5 or 6 pings through, then 4 or 5 misses, then it reconnects again. When it reconnects, the first ping or two have times in thousands of milliseconds, where normal is maybe sub-millisecond to 4ms for the remaining few seconds.
    I have other wireless devices, including iPhone, iPad, and an older MacBook - all work fine. The MBA is the only Lion device.

  • [1.2.0.29.98] reports close when disconnecting their connection

    Hi,
    is there any reason to close open reports when i disconnect their connection?

    Anita,
    These reports are tied to the connection. They are effectively a live data set which will not exist when the connection is closed.
    This is something we could change by adding a preference to keep reports up, but inactive when the connection closes.

    What year, screen size, CPU speed and amount of RAM installed?
    What version of OS X is your iMac running?
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
    Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X.
    Do you run any "crapware" like Mackeeper or any other type of so called hard drive "cleaning" apps?

    HHola I update my Apple TV and I am frozen screen with the photo of Apple TV and iTunes symbol and a cable connected from one to another device, it happens and how to fix it Apple TV

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • I have shared some folders and trying to connect from my android

    i have tried to enter my mbp name and my password but it doesn't work.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

    Transceiver Statistics
    Transceiver Revision: A2pB020b3.d20h
    Vendor ID Code:          4D54
    Line Mode:                  ADSL_2plus
    Data Path:                    FAST
    DSL Speed (Kbits/Sec) 5013     861
    Margin (dB)                    4.9       18.4
    Line Attenuation (dB) 46.0       23.6
    Transmit Power (dBm) 0.0       12.8

    Your line looks to be pretty long to be using 5Mbps service on it. I think your disconnects may be from copper that is experiencing changes in how it is able to carry the DSL signal due to the changing weather. Perhaps the copper cabling is also deteriorating as it is exposed to the elements. Either way, we need to rule out some things first before deciding on a course of action.
    Right now, your modem's margin is low, the downstream speed is not synced up correctly, and the attenuation is high. In addition, transmit powers are not reported but can be assumed, which also suggest a lenghty or degraded line as well as the equipment attempts to compensate for the speed.
    If you have access to your NID, I'd like for you to plug your modem into it first to see if we can pull better statistics from the line. If they are much improved, we'll need to start troubleshooting where in the home the copper is giving issues. If there is no change, the next course of action would be to get Verizon out to repair the line on their end of things to try and improve the signal coming in. If they really cannot do anything, then I believe the line will require a bumping down in speed to 4Mbps/768kbps after overhead, instead of trying to aim for a full 5Mbps.
    If the slow speed issues are not from the poor line stats, please give us some information on what is taking place when the speeds are reduced. Is it during the evening or night time hours when this occurs? Is there any particular usage pattern in your home that could be perhaps causing this issue? How about your modem sync speeds? Traceroutes?

  • Different display on client report builder and web reports

    Hi all, I have build a report in report 6i version Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1.And I set the page to 8.5*11 ,and it runs well in the client ,but when I put it on the UNIX SERVER,and run it from web URL,It displayed different from the client report builder.The web report is "smaller" than the client report ,but the font size is as same as the client .
    My HPUX is 11x,and display the Chinese report .
    Any body know why ?give me some advice ,thank u very much.

    Hi
    If you had built the report definition on Windows and then moved this to Unix server, you may find different fonts in use. This is becuase your Unix setup does not have the same fonts install. At design time, You need to use fonts which are available on Unix also. The same fonts shaould also be installed for printer in Unix i.e. the AFM/PFM font files should be kept under $ORACLE_HOME/guicommonX/tkXX/admin/AFM or PFM directory. This would give you the same output and would lessen the porting affect.
    Thanks

  • BB really slow and disconnection problems. Prepari...

    Hi all
    I've been having recent problems with my BB connection which resulted in a visit from an engineer last week. The engineer checked the master box and found no issues. He advised that I replace the cable connecting the hub to the master box as he thought it could be damaged and leading to the problem.  
    I've replaced the cable and microfilters throughout, reset the hub, moved the hub, tried wired and wireless connection, changed channels but I'm still getting really poor speeds and disconnections and its become totally unusable. I cant obtain a result from the BTspeedtest application as it continually says an error has occurred during the test (when I can get online at all).
    If I can get online when I get home I'll post up my exact hub stats. From memory the hub has remained connected for around 50hrs and the speeds are upstream 480kbps downstream 438kbps.
    Finally, in readiness for the 2nd engineer on Friday is there anything I should do, for example should I connect the hub to the test port on the master socket?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Ok folks,
    after removing the hub from the main BT socket (NTE5?) and connecting the hub directly to the test port I get an immediate improvement in download speeds. Stats below.
    What should my next course of action be, does that mean the socket is faulty or is something off somewhere else?
    BTspeedtest still shows the following error when I attempt a speedtest
    The Performance Tester could not perform Assured Rate throughput test , Please try again later.

  • GT70 internet very slow and sluggish when waking from sleep

    My GT70 sometimes is very slow and sluggish to respond when it is awoken from sleep mode. Browsers become unresponsive (hyperlinks don't register as links and require multiple clicks to respond) and internet gets very slow. Speedtest.net reports  .50-3mb/s when it is usually 24mb/s and above.  The hdd also thrashes about and won't calm down for what seems like an eternity.
    This only happens when opening the lid after the machine sits idle for several hours. This is fixed by restarting the machine.
    Does anyone know why this laptop would be behaving like this? it is very frustrating and makes sleep mode pretty much useless.
    cheers,
    -deluxxe

    Quote from: darkhawk on 22-November-13, 13:17:05
    First thing I would do is get CPU-Z and open that after wake-up and seeing if the CPU is running at the speed expected, or if it's stuck at some lower speed.
    thanks for the reply. will try that next time it happens.

  • Very slow and erratic wifi connection

    My wifi connection is very erratic. Often when I am working online, my internet connection will suddenly be lost. When I look at my Task Manager, the Performance graph shows no activity and lists my connection speed at 0 Kbps. I often have to disconnect and reconnect, which sometimes brings it back, but not often. When my connection comes back, the Performance graph shows wild spikes. My laptop is the only computer working on wifi, and the router is not far from the laptop. I am also disappointed in my internet speed, even when working with a wired connection. It seems to be faster on weekdays, slower on weekends, and super slow in the evenings. Before I had Comcast, I had Verizon, and I never had any issues with wifi. Comcast was supposed to greatly improve my connection speed, but instead it has greatly diminished my internet speed and offers a terrible, erratic, and often nonexistent wifi connection.

    Thank you so much for your reply. Funny...Comcast never mentioned anything about speed depending on neighborhood density when they were luring me away from Verizon with promises of greatly improved internet speed. I now wish I had never left Verizon. I should have believed my friends when they told me how awful Comcast was. Thanks again for your reply.

  • After installing lion, my computer is running slower and having delays connecting to network

    please help me resolve my problem.  after installing lion my system was running great for about a week.  suddenly it is having trouble connecting to the internet, running slow and the history pages are appearing without asking for them..  unable to get my homepage when opening up, just get a white screen. if i go to the history, i can get the homepage.  Only able to access my homepage by waiting for ever or getting it from the history.
    please help

    Peter, thank you for responding.  No, I am not referring to the initial start up.  I downloaded Yosemite over a week ago and feel it is running very slow when switching websites.  Also, I have experienced numerous hangups causing me to force quite much more than before.
    I just cleared my Safari history (I am guessing that is what you meant by "clean the old internet-caches" and restarted Safari.  I will see how it goes.
    I uses a file called "Desktop" from my IPhoto library for my desktop pictures. It contains about 20 pictures.  I configured it that way in Preferences, but it seems whenever I shut down and restart my computer it reverts to the generic picture of Yosemite.  As for the question mark and "Update Needed" showing on my startup log in screen, I think I fixed that by changing my password in Preferences.
    No that I have cleared the Safari history, I will see how things go.

  • How to zip report output and send via mail from application

    Hello,

    I want this as the report is having more than 70000s of records.
    Also the XLS has the limitation of 2^16 records and the report is having more than this
    Any help is very much appreciated
    Regards,

    1: Make a Dummy report. From some post parameter form trigger, run your original report with "srw.runreport" call. The original report can generate output to a file.
    2: Then withing this dummy report run, call a user exit to zip the
    original reports output. You need to write this user exit and attach them
    with reports.
    3: Now use Report 9i distribution for this dummy report to sent this external zip file through mail.
