10.5 clients cannot connect via AFP to 10.4.11 server

Server : xServe running 10.4.11
Login with AFP is successful with
Clients:
all 10.6.x
all 10.4.x
Login fails ( or more accurately never produces a login dialog window,
just get a "Connecting to afp://x.x.x.x" message with barber pole
progress bar ) with any 10.5.x client ( workstation or server )
There is another 10.4.11 server in this network that allows 10.4, 10.6
and 10.5 clients to connect without issues.
Any ideas?
Thanks

The server uses both OD accounts and Local, but mainly the logins are local accounts on the server. Cannot login with either one - but it is definitely limited to just clients logging in from 10.5 workstations or servers... The same accounts can login fine from 10.4 or 10.6 machines. Seems to be a config problem limited to this 10.4.11 server. But have no idea what it could be. I have another 10.4.11 server that does not have this issue.

Clients cannot connect using afp running lion 10.7.1, worked ok before upgrade from 10.7 to 10.7.1

I am running a macminiserver on ahome newtwork. Original running snow leopard and then upgraded to 10.7 lion on all machine and everything was working fine. Clients coul connected to shared drives on the server using afp. However, after upgrading to 10.7.1 on the server and client machines, they can no lnger connect to the drives using afp, however you can connect using smb.
I ahve tried stopping and starting the afp server, rebuilding permissions on the server - still cannot connect using afp.
Any ideas?

Be sure the correct Lion afp port is open on your router, even if you are using an Airport (port 548 tcp). Just do a search on "Mac OS X Lion ports".
Also, if this is outside of the network, use the full server name in the Finder's Connect to Server, afp://server.com; when it prompts for a username, enter your first name and last name (not your short name) and then you also need to enter your password. If you don't have a fqdn, then you can use the static ip for "server.com"
It should work, working for me inside and outside of the network. Admittedly, I don't think you need the port on the router for internal use, but you can test both ways.
When working outside of the network a vpn is not required.

Windows VNC clients cannot connect to Snow Leopard Server native VNC server

I am resurfacing the following related comment made in another post that discusses the same issue I am having with VNC on Snow Leopard. This is still an issue and I cannot connect to our Xserve's Snow Leopard Server with a VNC client on Windows.
I don't want to install another third party VNC server onto our SL Server, and am looking for a VNC client for windows that will connect to our SL Server.
Does anyone have any solutions?

Re: Newbie: Connect Windows -> OSX Server
Posted: Nov 4, 2009 9:26 AM in response to: Antonio Rocco
I would politely disagree. Yes, definitely, the Mac 'Screen Sharing' app works a treat, and Apple Remote Desktop.app works as well, but I am coming from a Window's PeeCee.
For me, connecting to my 10.5(.8) Server via tightvnc gives 'Server did not offer supported security type!". Using RealVNC to this machine states "No matching security types Do you wish to reconnect to ... ?" a telnet to this AppleVNCServer service (port 5900), shows RFB 003.889 *, or Remote Frame Buffer Major 3, minor 889.
Also, connecting to multiple 10.6(.1) Clients with Tightvnc correctly asks for a password but then hangs at "Status: Security type requested". Using RealVNC opens, connects, asks for authentication, and exits. Telneting to this AppleVNCServer service (port 5900), also shows RFB 003.889 *.
The Current Version of the protocol is supposed to be 3.8, that is Major version 3, minor version 8. Not 80 or 800 but Eight). http://www.realvnc.com/docs/rfbproto.pdf and I believe that tightvnc only supports up to version 3.7.
On each station I have installed the 'old' OSXVnc.app as a service (to a unique port). OSXVnc utilizes protocol 3.3 and I can control them successfully, but that is of my own doing because of this issue.
Now JollysFastVNC works a treat to any machine I have EVER tried to connect to. I have not tried COTVNC or any of the others (too slow for me, when they wer e around)
Also, I just noticed that RealVNC states that their free and personal version will not connect to Mac OSX (x86 and PPC) but the Enterprise one will. I just Dl'ed the Enterprise Viewer and it gave essentially the same thing ('protocol is not valid' message, even after it asks for a password). Anyway, I am not here to hijack this thread, just trying to keep the info flowing and open.
Maybe I am the only one with these problems but the bottom line is I cannot use Real or Tight, or UltraVNC to administer my server or clients as long as AppleVNCServer gives out the 003.889 protocol version.

* The ProtocolVersion message consists of 12 bytes interpreted as a string of ASCII characters in the format "RFB xxx.yyy\n" where xxx and yyy are the major and
minor version numbers, padded with zeros.

Searching on the net brought me to the same solution that Mr. Hoffman found as well, I was a bit skeptical at first but since he recommended it, and all my other attempts failed, it was a last resort and I have some additional notes of my own for a successful solution. Read the two links below first before doing anything, as they contribute to the solution in tandem.

Cannot connect via cable on Windows XP home SP2

Good Afternoon,
Maybe you can assist me here.
I cannot connect via cable my N91 (4 gb hdd) to Windows XP Home SP2. I can however connect via cable to my work computer which has the OS Windows XP Pro sp2.
In both cases both OS's are up to date, I have updated the phone OS to v2.10.013 RM-43. I am using the most up to date drivers that is available on nokia.com as well as the current ed of PC Suite (6.82.22.0)
The following is the steps I followed in both cases starting with XP Pro
1. Installed Drivers
2. Installed PC Suite
3. When prompted by PC Suite connected Phone via cable to Computer, further install steps were required. No reboot required. PC Suite then picked up phone
XP Home
Followed steps 1 + 2 in the same order
3. Connected N91 to XP Home computer, after driver install activity rebooted computer as requested. Disconnected N91 On reboot to desktop, in PC Suite I clicked on Get connected. Select Cable connection when prompted attached cable to computer and then to phone, on the phone select PC Suite. .
At this point I get the hour glass and nothing happens, Next is ghosted. It has been like this for 20 mins.
I have uninstalled both the drivers and the software. For some reason the updater can connect to the phone.
Can you advise on what I can do.

8.8 Client cannot connect to Windows Server 2008 error -1102

SAP Business On 8.8 on PL 18
This is not the first time I have had this issue with Windows Server 2008.
however everytime the resolution was diffrent. Now this site is causing trouble.
The issue is the client cannot connect. We have the log on window, can see the company list. type on the password and we get a -1102 error.
The client on the Server itself can log on. It is the cleints that cannot.
I checked these below.
1 SQL Native client is installed and ok.
2. Licence server is configured and ok
3. The user has admin access to locl PC
4. The SAP user name and password are correct ( client on server can connect fine )
5. The ports 1433, 30000 and 30001 are open on the server.
6. Through SQL server configuration the named pipes and TCP are enabled.
7. SQL server browser is running
The only things I have not tried are
The Firewall is running on the server and I have not yet stopped it. Will try that tomorrow.
Do you have any other ideas please ?

I have got this working but I am not confidant of the outcome - yet - I really need your expert advise here.
This is what I did. In that order.
1.     As Owen suggested I checked if there was a specified Port for the instance. What I found was TCP Dynamic ports were enabled ( SQL server config manager | network configuration | tcp properties ) and there was no TCP port specified. Assuming ( ai may be wrong) that the system assigns a dynamic port to this instance I set it up so the Dynamic port does not happen and manually specified the Port 1433. Restarted the SQL Service. ( still having the Port 1433 open in the firewall). This did not solve the issue.
2.     With the above setting still on, switched off the firewall. Went to the PC client and SAP can log on now. Now keeping the SAP client running, switched on the Firewall on the server. Log off SAP on PC client and log back in ( with firewall off ). SAP now can log on.
3.     I had to do the above step for all PCs to get them working.
4. Currently the firewall is on and clients can connect
So what could be happening? I have no clue. It is apparent there is some setting that gets saved within the PCs ( may be user profile) after the first log on with the Firewall off - to say its safe ?
However I have no idea what will happen if the server is restarted u2013 this server we cannot restart any time we want as itu2019s a critical server and runs other things.
I would still like to get to the bottom of this to understand what is happening.
I have a SAP message running too and will ask them this same question.

Is anything we need to config after change db machine IP?

yeah,I got it.Everything is ok now.
After change IP,we must open TopologyManager:change the JDBC connection of workrepository which must chose in Designer.
when we open the Designer ,it will connect to db.then coonect to workrepository with original IP.So,we must rechange workrepository's JDBC first!

You can do it via Wi-Fi through email. Or you can set up an iPhoto library with a shared PhotoStream in order to share photos.
If you both sync your devices using iTunes to the same iTunes Library, then you can have a common library of data that each of you can sync to your devices. You can also share data through your iCloud storage account. You have 5 GBs for your Apple ID and can purchase more if needed.

How to determine who is connected via AFP in WORKGROUP

I am running a WORKGROUP configuration leopard server on a MP early 2008. Using the server widget I can tell if there are users connected but I have not figured out how to determine Who is connected and how to contact them if I want to reboot the server. Moreover, how do I determine what users are doing? The AFP log is turned off in this config and I can't get it to come on. From the command line I could use serveradmin to find out who is connected but in the workgroup config it is not clear if it is OK to run serveradmin since the GUI counterpart "Server Aministrator" is forbidden unless you upgrade to the advanced config. Does anybody know if the CLI serveradmin is OK to use in the WORKGROUP config or know any other way to determine who connected via AFP and SMB and what files they have open? This semms like a terrible security risk without knowing who is doing what.
Thanks
-Chris

Just in case others have the same question, I have determined that the CLI tools can be used to query the file services without any apparent detrimental effects while using our leopard server 10.5.3 in a workgroup configuration. Hence the names of AFP users can be determined from the command line by:
sudo serveradmin command afp:command = getConnectedUsers | grep name
and the smb users can be found with:
sudo serveradmin command smb:command = getConnectedUsers | grep name
Hope that helps

Non-Domain joined clients connect to server initially but cannot connect via Launchpad

Running SBS 2011 Essentials in a small office. Running XP/Vista/7 clients. All working fine until we swapped routers. Old router died, new router was installed.
Now all domain-joined PC's connect as normal, but all NON-Domain-Joined PC's cannot access the server via the launchpad. I get the "The server appears to be offline. Do you want to sign in to offline mode?" box.
Tried removing PC from the SBS Dashboard, uninstalling the connector from the client, restarting client, and reinstalling the connector. I can install the connector (using
http://<server ip>/connect , but not http://<servername>/connect
). Connector installs but it still tells me the server is offline when trying to use dashboard or launchpad on the client.
