Can't connect to network message

Hi, I've just set up a new intel mac running Leopard, connected to a wireless network via Airport Express with my old G5 still o Tiger. The wireless network was set up from the G5 some while back.. Whenever the G5 is off line, sharing is disabled on it, or either the G5 or the Intel Mac are not connected to the wireless network, when I log in or restart the Intel I get the message: "Cannot Connect: the server may not exist or is not operational ...." which I have to click to get rid of. Just really annoying, but also makes me think the G5 must be acting as the 'server'. In fact in the G5, when you click on the network 'glob'e icon, next to it is an alias that says "servers" and then next to that the computers name (the server alias points to: nfs://automount%20%nnsl%20%5B248 in /Network . I'm really not up to speed on networking but I suspect that's the problem. Any ways out of this? I really wanted to be at the 'hub' of the network on the new Intel mac. I just want to be able to connect, share etc without having to click that wretched box. Is there a way to either delete the 'server', or make the Intel machine the server, or just release the Intel from this 'dependence'. If I did a fresh install on the G5 would that clear it up? I suspect the server stuff got set up when I first installed the Airport Express box, a couple of years ago. Any thoughts very gratefully received.

Finally solved this one. It was something in login items that migrated from my G5 to the new intel Mac Pro. Deleted all login items and no more messages about not connecting to the server. Something must have been looking for the hard drive on the G5 - when there was no sharing it understandably couldn't connect.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Tenant Administrator can't connect VM Network to NVGRE Gateway.

Tenant Administrator can't connect VM Network to NVGRE Gateway.
Just no "Connectivity" tab in VM Network properties when connected to VMM as Tenant Administrator...
Is it normal or a bug?

Hi, from PowerShell you should be able to add gateway to VM Network with the following command:
Add-SCVMNetworkGateway -Name <String> -VMNetwork <VMNetwork>
[-EnableBGP <Boolean> ]

# This will allow Thelonious' private subnet to
# access the VPN. This example will only work

Ipad can not connect to network

Can not connect to Internet

Does the iPad connect to other networks?
Does the iPad see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPad connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can't connect to server message

I upgraded my MacBook (early 2008) to Lion and it works fine except for two messages that continue to pop up. One says that it can't connect to the server because URL with "file" extensions are not supported. The other is that I need to install a java runtime and I am not connected to the Internet. I am connected to the internet and I am not failing to connect to any servers that I am aware of. Anybody know why I am getting these pop ups?

Is Mail the only program down? I've had this happen quite a few times, I'm afraid.
First off, you should head to your Wifi connection and see what your IP address is. Are you connected to your network? I mean, does the IP address look RIGHT to you?
I have an issue where my IP address changes from it's proper address, in the 10.x range, to some unholy 169.x address that SAYS it's connected, but isn't connected to anything.
If you happen to fall into my problem-category, here's the best solution I've found so far, with an as-yet undocumented workaround:
go to Network, find your Wifi Connection, click on the right arrow to get into its setting. Then hit Renew Lease.
Say yes.
Once the IP address flashes to a correct address, in my case it's 10.x, etc., hit the Home button. This should keep the iPad from searching for another IP address and it should stay connected.
If you don't hit the Home button fast enough, the IP address will go momentarily blank and then assign itself to a false IP address. Also, sometimes it seems like you were fast enough, but you were just too slow. It's a bit of a timing issue, but shouldn't take you more than 2 tries to get it right.
Now, if you aren't having the same IP address problem I've been having, this solution probably won't benefit you. But then it won't harm anything to try it, either.
Curious: is Mail the only program that's not working? Does the Wifi work for, say, Urbanspoon or Safari? Or is it just connecting to your email server in Mail that's the issue?

How can i post a network message through jdk

many client pc (win98) connected with LAN, i am writing a JDK application, i want to send network message to other PC, what sort of classes i should use for this.
Please guide and give some idea

Actually i made a chatting software with having more
than 10 user. But they can only chat when they use
this chat software made in jdk. The user wants to
know about whether he has received any new message
when he is not running the application but he is
using his desktop.Windows (we are talking about Windows, aren't we?) does not normally have something running on the background that can show the user an arbitrary message coming from another computer. There's the NET SEND stuff, but most people have it disabled.
So, to make this possible, there is no other way than to install a program on the user's computers that runs in the background, waits for messages, and shows messages to the user when they arrive. You simply cannot do this without installing and running a program like that on the user's computers.
An alternative idea is to make your chat program send an e-mail to the user. That way, if a user has an e-mail program running, he/she will get notified of a new message through e-mail. The API in Java for sending e-mail is JavaMail.

Can't connect to Network Printer

I just bought a laptop with Vista. I have wireless router connected to a wired router. My two desktops are conneted to the wired router and the laptop is wireless to the wireless router.
My printer does not have a wireless card, so I have it plugged to one desktop, and I have the other desktop using it as a network printer.
I can't seem to get the wireless to see the printer. I have enabled file & print sharing on all computers, and the print spooler service is started on all computers. When I do "Add a printer" it doesn't see the printer. I tried doing "Add a network printer" and entering the name as \\computername\printername (where computername is the computer the printer is attached to), but I alternately get these two errors:
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. The server print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler on the server or restart the server machine" or
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Makes ure that you have typed the name correctly, and that the printer is connected to network."
I have not been able to see the desktop computer at all in the network options, but I do see the wired router listed, but no computers connected to the router.
Can anyone help with this? I am at my wit's end. Dan

"Windows cannot connect to the printer. The server print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler on the server or restart the server machine" or
see the tail end of my thread here, it sounds a LOT like your problems and my own are similar:

Hello,
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-US;2388142
Might be the right hotfix!
I will be trying this hotfix this week. I have this problem SO bad right now. The only slight difference is that my print server is running Microsoft Storage Server
2003, and all my clients are now windows 7. The problem hits users at seemingly random times, random 5% of the company per day, and all printer pools...it made no sense at all!
I'll keep you posted as to whether the asyncronous RPC reg key helps, or if your hotfix does.
There is also something i found that works (for 48 hours straight anyways):
On vista/7 client, go to Devices and Printers and click Add Printer
Then choose Local Printer. I know your printer is shared on a print server, just stick with me here!!
Choose Create New Port and select Local Port...
When it asks you for a port name, type in the UNC ADDRESS of the printer (ie \\printserver1\HPLaser5000n).
When it asks you for a driver, point it to the right location where you downloaded a clean set of drivers matching your client OS and printer. Or press the Windows Update button.
finish adding the printer. You will notice the name of the printer doesn't have a "...on [printserver1"
anymore, BUT it will still print!!
I have done this for 4 printer pools and for the last 2 days the 1 user i set it up for has had no printing problems. May be total coincidence, but at this point i was willing to try anything. I'm not sure if this constitutes fooling windows 7 into setting
up a remote printer as a local printer, and i'm also doubting this will be deployable via GPO or script...but still, i hope it helps.

TS1424 downloaded itunes but can not connect to store message reads error 11222

Trying to connect to itunes store using windows 7 professional. I have downloaded and re-installed so many times and still I can not connect. The help function is saying I am not connected to the internet. Error message 11222. I can not update my iphone with new software either. It says I do not have internet connection. Unfortunately I am not very computer savvy so no idea what operating system is.

The help function is saying I am not connected to the internet. Error message 11222. I can not update my iphone with new software either. It says I do not have internet connection.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

10.4.5 - mac mini can't connect to network via airport since upgrade

I've been experiencing problems since upgrading to 10.4.3. Mainly, I've noticed that I can't easily connect to our wireless home network all the time. The pattern has been that I start by shutting down my computer completely. When I start up it again, it can't connect to the network. I have to create a new profile and then it will connect. That was buggy, but at least I found a hack. However, since upgrading to 10.4.5, I can't connect to our home network at all. The Internet Connect application says that I am connected to the base station, however I can't connect to the outside world via a shell, browser or email application. Our network is secured with a WEP and the base station is a D-Link. I searched the forums for some tips, but didn't find anything. Pointers appreciated.

Be very careful about the sequence you do it. You must make sure that the airport connection is turned off (i.e. the airport menu icon looks more like a profiled eyeball without the iris than a series of lines like the towers of hanoi). Then create a new location in the Airport network preference, and make sure that these settings are there under Options
1. Keep looking for recent networks
2. Automatically add new networks to the preferred network list.
3. Change the status of Enable interference robustness.
And by default, join preferred networks in the Airport location.

Printing problems with my newest Mac: can't connect to networked LaserJet

I have several Macs printing to an HP LaserJet 4000TN on my LAN. All but one work fine. Even the Windows machine works. The bad actor is a new MacBook Pro.
When I try to set the printer up (using the HP JetDirect IP connection), for some reason it can't figure out which driver to use—I have to manually select it. And very often it refuses to print, saying that it can't connect to the printer. Power cycling the printer fixes it temporarily (printer is set in Energy Saver mode but wakes up fine for other machines).
All my other Macs (all using latest Snow Leopard) work fine. What's the problem?

Error Message: "Unable to Connect to Printer, will try again in 30 seconds...
I have the same problem. It just started a few days ago. Prior to that, it was printing fine. I recently did an Apple Software update, so I'm guessing that's where the problem originated from.
I have a Brother Multifunction that's setup on my WLAN.
I got the message after attempting to:
Factory reset the printer and setting up WLAN again
Uninstalling all Brother Printer and Scanner Drivers and Reinstalling
Switching to WiredLAN to print
Same Error Message Each Time
Two days ago, I also installed a new print cartridge. When I saw the levels a day later, it looked like it was half used - No Way!
There is obviously a miscommunication between ink/toner level and new cartridges and the Apple Drivers for WLAN.
To my knowledge, there is no fix at this time and Apple needs to resolve this high priority.
What I don't get is why won't the wired config for the printer work either?
Last fix attempt: Take out all cartridges and reinstall. No Juice!
My Findings: The Latest Apple Software Update will screw up the communication between your Mac and print drivers.
Solution: It's all On Apple to fix this ASAP!

Can't connect to network drive in Homehub.

Hi,
I want to connect to a USB stick plugged into the back of my BT Homehub so I can use it to wirelessly back up my mac with TM. I have plugged it in, but when trying to map the drive, I get 'This file server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally.'. The drive can't be accessed locally with the 'Network' in Finder because it's not mapped, so I get an empty Network folder and I can't connect it. I've used afp and SMB, but both return either 'This doesn't exist' or 'This file server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally.'.
HELP?
Tony

Actually, on second thoughts, TM drives have to be Mac OS Extended format, and Homehub only works with FAT32 drives so it wouldn't work anyway. Oh well.

Can not connect iTunes Store message

Hi,
İ bought my iPad from US and it's sync. to Turkey conditions by itself. İt's been just 1 months, so i iTunes store gives a Message which says " can't connect to Store" and just one option, you need to pick "OK" button. on my user manuel says iTunes store not aplicable in many countries, not many more,
how can i change my iTunes Store settings? Or may i use iTunes Store from Turkey?
Thanks,

Is this on your iPad, iTunes your computer, or another device ? If on your iPad then can you connect to the internet in other apps e.g. Safari ? If you can then try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.
