Can't browse for Shared computers on network in 10.5, but 10.2 is ok.

I just got a new tower with 10.5.8 on it so I hook it up and go to connect to my networked external share drive and it can't find it. I had to type in the IP address of my laptop just so it could find that. It doesn't see my other g4 tower either.
What is wrong here?

I fixed it. Had to turn off ipv6.

  • Can't see other sharing computers in network

    I have this issue with a Macbook Air running Mountain Lion, that it can't show any other sharing computers in the network except another Macbook when using wireless network. I have the following setting:
    Firewall is off
    SMB file sharing is on
    Workgroup is set to WORKGROUP in WINS tab
    Location has been saved rather than Automatic
    Other computers (that are sharing) can be connected using the tool opened using Cmd+K
    Seems to be able to see the other computers some times when connecting using Ethernet
      I have relaunched Finder and restarted the laptop, nothing is making the sharing computers show up.
      The problem occurs to this laptop only. My laptop, a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard, have no problem finding these computers in the same wireless setup.

    I figured it out awhile back. There was a glitch and when I upgraded to the next version (From when I posted this message), my other hard drive reappeared in the network.

    Can you access the iTunes Library in other app? IPhoto? IMovie? If not, then I'd bring that to the iTunes forum

  • Different options for shared computers (screen sharing)

    Why do I get two different login options on my network? For one computer I can check on screen sharing, but I don't get that option for the third computer.
    Am I missing a point here?
    What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated
    I have leo on my laptop and can screen share with the swivel on tiger, but not with the iMac G5 on tiger...

    Hi Catherine.
    The question is. Are both computers running Leopard? Screen sharing only works between Leopard computers. It doesn't work between Leopard and Tiger unless you install a third party VNC program like Chicken of the VNC or similar.
    I have three computers at home. Two with Leopard and one with Tiger. I can share my screen between the Leopard ones but not with the Tiger one.
    Does this answer your question?

  • Suddenly Can't see any shared computers

    I work on a network with all PCs, except me. We have a file storage computer that is a linux based machine. I have had absolutely no problems seeing these computers on my "shared" list and accessing the file sharing machine, printing to network printers, accessing the internet and email. Suddenly, I do not have a "shared" list, the network is empty, but I can still connect to the network, access the internet and email, and print to network printers. We operate on a wireless network.
    I did a software update last week:
    Installed "AirPort Extreme Update 2008-004" (1.0)
    Installed "iTunes" (8.0.2)
    Installed "Migration and DVD ⁄ CD Sharing Update" (1.1)
    Installed "QuickTime H.264 Compatibility Update" (7.5.5)
    Installed "Security Update 2008-007" (1.0)
    Our Network admin did a routine vista update as well. I don't know if others can see me or if that changed because I have kept my machine closed to the public.
    I've tried command-k and put in the file sharing machine address and it just gives "connection failed" does not exist, etc.
    All my Mac friends are mystified, including the tech at the local Mac store.
    Any ideas out there?

    WELL...I tried all of this stuff to no avail. I also tried checking the WINS stuff you described below. I don't know if you meant that for my problem, but there was no way it was letting me choose my work group, it listed none and wouldn't remain if I typed it in. BUT...I went to the Security>Firewall in system prefs and changed the setting to "Allow allincoming connections" and restarted and what-do-you-know, my shared was back! I don't know that I like having opened that up, and it is the only one that will bring the shared back. I do have "Stealth Mode" on in the advanced tab, but I don't know if I am vulnerable to unwanted advances on my computer now. I wonder if this is an Apple security update bug? Or am I just doing things all wrong? Can I set the network as an "essential service" or "specific service"?
    Anyway, original problem solved. Thanks to all who tried to help! By the way, I can see my workgroup on the WINS thing now.

  • Suddenly can't connect to shared computers or screen share

    For some reason I can no longer connect to my shared computers. I can however connect to MY computer from my shared computers, if that makes sense.
    From my own computer, when I go to my shared list in the finder, I click on a computer (normally it all automatically connects because I have the password remembered), I click "connect as" and I never get any response, sometimes a "connection failed" I know file sharing is enabled on all computers.
    Is there a way to refresh my list? What can I do to reconnect to my shared computers? This seems to have been happenings since I last updated the OS.
    Also, I can no longer do a screen share where I was doing this regularly every day.
    Thanks

  • SOME Windows machines can't browse for Mac printers

    I have a Mac mini with an HP 5940 attached to it. I also have three Windows machines hanging around: my laptop, my wife's laptop, and my wife's desktop. My laptop and my wife's desktop are running XP Pro SP2. My wife's laptop is running XP Media Center Edition SP2. My mini is running 10.5.3.
    My laptop has no difficulty with the printer. It can print all day long, browse for the printer, anything I want to do.
    My wife's machines cannot. They cannot browse for the printer (browsing ends at the computer entry for the Macintosh). They had a previously set up print queue (evidently this did work before), but cannot print using it; documents pile up on the PC.
    If I create a new printer on my wife's machine and enter the \\machine\queue stuff manually, I am prompted for a username and password for the connection. Entering my Mac short username and password allows me to print from her machines, until they reboot. Upon reboot, the print queue no longer works; documents pile up at the PC, etc.
    I can see no difference in the way the print queues are set up on all of the machines.
    I do not know why my laptop can browse the Mac's printers while my wife's cannot.
    I do not know why my wife's machines require a username and password in order to connect to the printer, while mine does not.
    I do not know how to enter a username and password for my wife's printers upon rebooting without deleting and recreating the printer. Which means I have to type the lengthy \\machine\queue stuff again, because browsing doesn't work.
    Any ideas?

    And I have now fired up the desktop PC I retired when I installed this Mac mini.
    Like my laptop, it has no trouble browsing the printers on the Mac or printing to them.
    So, I have a total of 5 machines trying to print over the network to the Mac:
    - My laptop PC works
    - My desktop PC works
    - My NetBSD box works
    - My wife's laptop PC *does not* work
    - My wife's desktop PC *does not* work
    I don't know how the Mac can tell whether a machine is mine or my wife's so it knows whether or not to work...

  • How can I cancel existing shared  computers?

    I have used nearly all of my quota of "shared" computers, due to needing to re instals.  I now have a new computer, along with a new email.  How can I get rid of some of the old sharings, and share with myu new computer.

    wait until you reach the limit of five computers and use the deauthorize all option. then reauthorize those you currently use/have access to.

  • Firewall ports for shared computers (bonjour) to appear in Finder?

    This is the setup:
    my Lion server is in a different subnet (DMZ) then the workstations (LAN) through the means of a third-party firewall
    the Lion server has File Sharing enabled
    the workstations can access the share points by connecting to the server (connections from LAN to DMZ are permitted)
    The problem:
    the Lion server wont's show up in the workstation's finder (shared computers AKA bonjour)
    The question:
    what ports need to be opened from DMZ to LAN in order for the Lion server to announce itself to the clients?

    A work around that may work for you (does for me) is simply to keep the errant PC from sleeping during the period that you may want to connect to it. That's right. Torture is by depriving it of sleep. It's a PC; it deserves it, right?

  • Can you Send for Shared Review in Batch Processing JavaScript?

    Hello! I am new to javascript and Acrobat 9 Pro. I have multiple documents emailed to me in a day and need to send/track each one individually. Can this be done using the Batch Processing javascript as a Shared Review?
    I have tried adding a button to the "Add-On" toolbar and start a shared review but can't automate manual key entries for the dialog windows that opens for  a Shared Review.
    What I am looking for is a js file to add a button to execute Send for Shared Review, Select multiple files dialog window, open the standard dialog windows for Shared Reviews one time and then do the same to all other selected files.
    Can you please help, and maybe supply some javascript examples?

  • Can't browse for iPrint printer

    Anyone else had this issue? Running ZCM 11.1a on SLES 11.2 server. A separate SLES10.3 server runs iPrint and LDAP. When I try to configure a printer policy using iPrint printers, I get to the pop-up dialog box where I am to browse the tree to select the iPrint printer. That box will not browse the tree. It doesn't matter from which workstation or browser I access ZCC, I can't browse the tree. I have used several valid LDAP user credentials.
    I am pretty much at a loss as to where to even start looking for ans answer. Restarting the ZCM server didn't do it. Any thoughts out there?

    I had the same problem, turns out that there is a bug that if you log in
    to ZCC with an admin account that is also in the User Source this will
    happen. You must use an admin account that is local to the ZCM Domain,
    such as the default Administrator account that was set up when you
    created your ZCM Domain. This drove me crazy for weeks after I upgraded
    from 10.3.3 to 11.2.

  • HT4557 Can I use Home Sharing with only another person's iPad but with out the other person's computer?

    You don't.  Otherwise they would have called it Device sharing. 

  • Why can I not see shared applications on iTunes on a Mac but can on Itunes under Windows

    Hello
    1. I have a Mac Laptop, a Windows 7 laptop and an IPAD Air. I have an application on the IPad that shares files.
    2. On both the Windows and Mac machines, I have the latest versions of ITunes installed.
    3. With Image and IPhoto, I can browse the Documents directory of the shared application on the IPAD.
    4. On the Windows Machine, on ITunes, under the Apps section, at the bottom of the screen, I can see the shared application and the shared Documents directory.
    5. On my Mac Machine, on Itunes, under the Apps section, at the bottom of the screen, I can NOT see the same shared application on the IPAD that I see on the Windows machine.
    6. In the upper right corner of Itunes on the MAC it does show "1 App" but I see no way to click on the app under ITunes and to browse the shared directory on the IPad
    Any thoughts on what I have to do to make the Shared App show up on the Mac that shows up on the Windows machine in ITunes?

  • Any ideas why I can no longer access shared files on networked PC's in my office? I keep getting a "server not exist or unavailable" error.

    I have been able to access the files in the past. Actually when I've had this problem before a restart has solved it. Not this time. And it keeps happening. Even more strange, Filemaker is able to access shared databases stored on the same PC's. Why can Filemaker see these computers? Both also show up in the finder but when I try to connect I get the error. I also tried "connect as" with no success. Any ideas?

    I have an Epson Epson Stylus Photo Rx430 printer.
    Since upgrading to OSX10.7 print files do not load to the printer. The Epson job box shows data is being sent to printer but it the task is never completed.
    I take this to be a Printer  Driver issue.
    Today, I have been in contact  with Epson Printer support, enquiring if they have any driver updates for RX430 that would be compatable with OSX10.7 Lion.
    I was notified by Epson that they do not have any drivers for any of their printers for the new OSX 10.7.
    How may I  continue using my now unsupported Epson printer? 

  • Can't print to shared c4640 from network.

         I have a c4640 connected by usb to a windows 7 x64 machine and can't print to it from any computer on my network (one is a vista 32 bit and one is windows 7 x64).  The networked computers don't show the printer in the add printers list, but it is listed with the shared folders of the host computer.  I can add the printer from the hosts list of shared items and it appears to install correctly.  When I try to print from the windows 7 machine, the first time it goes to the queue and after about 20 seconds it leaves the queue, but nothing prints.  If I try to print again it doesn't even go into the queue.  When I try from the vista machine it says test page failed to print.  I have tried turning off my firewall, installing and re-installing the drivers, and adding the printer manually with no help. 

    I cannot get my HP952C printer to finish the Bonjour printer wizard. The wizard lists the printer but it gives me this error: "You do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer" at the finish step. I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.1. I've just switched over to a Mac but I still have PC's on the network that would like to use this printer. The PC is running XP. Any suggestions?
