Can't see a server in Finder's Network view

Hi,
In the Network view of the Finder, my G4 (10.4.3) on the LAN can see my eMac (10.4.4), also on the LAN. My PowerBook (10.4.4, wireless) can see the G4, but cannot see the eMac. I can, however, connect to the eMac from the PB by entering the IP address directly in the Connect to Server dialog. Any reason this might be?
I can see the PB from the eMac.
On both the G4 and the eMac I have to go via the Network > My Network icon to see available servers. On the PB, I have no My Network icon - the G4 appears as soon as I click on Network.
Is it likely to be a wireless problem, or a preferences problem, or a 10.4.4 problem? I've had problems similar to this before which were fixed by switching various options in the Directory Access utility. No joy this time.
I can supply more details if required (I'll save space for now!). It's not a simple network...

Sorry, just as an addedum, I can connect through a hard connection, but I can't access Screen Sharing

Can anyone explain why my Dell laptop and my iphone can "see" a server in Luton when using a wireless broadband (I get 20 Mbps download speed) but my ipad can not see this server and finds one in Milton Keynes which gives me 0.37 download speed.

Can't see Windows machines in Finder/Shared

I have upgraded to 10.5.2 and can't see Windows machines on my local network in the shared panel of finder. I can connect to the machines using their IP address in using the Go to server command and the IP address then shows in the finder. I want the windows machines to show by their name, automatically, in the finder pane as they should.
All machines on the network have assigned ip addresses by in the router.

Hello
In the DNS settings of your router there should be two options:
1. DNS server set by ISP
2. Enter DNS server manually
If you have set option 2 and you use a service such as Open DNS or if you have 1 and your ISP offers a rubbish DNS server when you try to connect from finder the DNS server tries to resolve the name of the machine gives you a wrong IP address and after a long time waiting you get a connection error.
Solution:
1. Try to eliminate open dns and use the ISP dynamically set DNS server
2. If 1 still gives a problem (your ISP DNS is rubbish) and you have assigned static IP to your machines follow those instructions:
a. Enter as administrator in each MAC OS X 10.5 machine and open the terminal
b. enter the following command at the prompt: sudo pico /etc/hosts
c. insert an entry for each of your other computers followed by the computer name
d. save the file and reboot the machine
e. You should now see the other computers on the finder bar and be able to connect using SMB://SERVERNAME provided all computers are in the same workgroup
f. repeat the process for the other MAC OS X 10.5 machines

VPN Connected but can not see folders / server

I have established a connection between an OSX server and client but now can not see the server or any services on the client. There are no servers listed in the 'Network' section of finder and using 'Connect to server' I can not see it either. The log on the server shows the connection and the client does as well but other than that I can not do anything with the connection.
Details
- Using 10.6 osx server and a 10.6 client.
- Connected via VPN, L2TP
Thanks,
Brian

I have connected to VPN but can't see anything on my finder or desktop.
I tried connecting to server by doing command+K and entered the ip address like afp://ipaddress/user
doesn't work. I get error message saying:
Connection Failed
The server "165.124.164.125" is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally.
help!!

I can't see .NEF files in finder from mi NIkon D7100. Helllp !!!!!
I can open NEF files in Camera Raw but Im not seeing tumbs in finder !
Also I cant see them in preview too.

Well, I don't know what the problem actually is in the first place, it should work as is, I think something is messed up with the present driver and replacing it would perhaps get around that problem.
It seems like I'd be adding one more layer of complexity to the Vista machine...
Not sure how the Vista machine is involved in this, since these are drivers for the Mac.
Though to involve the Vista Machine, One option not mentioned yet is MacDrive for you PCs... allows them to Read/Write HFS+...

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

Those tags are not shown in the Finder.

How can I see the PC on my local network

How can I see the PC on my local network. With Leopard installed I see the others Mac on the network but ot the PC. But the PC see me. What happen and How I can resolve that.

Have you tried connecting to the PC via the Finder's "Connect to Server…" and used the IP address?
It would be smb://server.ip.address/sharename
Do you have the workgroup set up in the network preferences for the service that you are connected to your LAN with.
There is also a problem on Leopard where the workgroup doesn't stay set, so if that is the case, you need to duplicate the service (ethernet, airport, etc) and use the duplicate. You can then remove the original.

Can't see the other Mac on the network

I have a iMac G5 and a MacBook Pro connected via wirelss at home. Sometimes I can't see the other Mac in the Network folder, however I can connect to the other Mac (even I can't see them in the network folder) by afp the IP address via Safari... I have enabled the "personal file sharing" option in both of the machine.
Help please.
Samuel

Sam,
I've had the same problems numerous times myself: the other Macs don't show in the network folder. Why? I'm not too sure myself, I've been given several possible explanations by the geniouses in San Francisco. However, the best trick to connect is via the Finder 'Go to' menu. The very last item should say something like "Connect to server..." -which is the same as the 'Command-K' combination of keys. That'll bring up a list of the last few servers on the network, and al you have to do is choose the one you want, and voilà!

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

Can't see other Macs/PCs on the network...

Since installing the Safari 6/Apple Remote Desktop Update I can't see other Macs/PCs on the network. If I restart I can see 2 Macs, but after a while they disappear, and I can see/connect to nothing...

If you are using DHCP check that it is getting the correct addressing. In the event that it is but still not working then test by giving it a fixed IP and see if it then works.

Can't see Computers/Servers in Finder on local ip network

I'm trying to share some files between by Powerbook and iMac.
Both are running Tiger.
Both are configured with IP on the same subnet and can ping each other
Both are using wifi as their network interface
Both can get to the internet, iMac, iDisk fine...
I turned on sharing on both systems.
When I go to finder and browse under Network i can only see my local machine.
This is true on both systems..
Any ideas about how to fix or troubleshoot?

Rebooting usually makes the machines show up in rhe network browser.
The reliable way, of course, is to connect using Finder's "Connect to server" window. The address you enter looks like this:
afp://Clamshell.local
Once you type it in you can save them in a list. It's very professional. You can also remount servers using the "Recent Items" list in the Apple menu, but if the server is not online it makes your Finder spin wheels for a few minutes.
Agonizing.
