Connect to Server, favorite names

Is there a way to name the servers that have been saved as favorites in the "Connect to Server"? Example, 192.168.0.1 (home router). Is a bit difficult to keep track of all the servers, if there are many.

The simplest solution would be to remove the server connections you don't want, then just re-connect to them using the name.
The recent servers are stored in ~/Library/Recent Servers/ and you can selectively remove them from there.

  • Connect to Server Login Name Problem

    I have been troubleshooting some problems on two computers my father-in-law has.
    One is an 2GHz Intel Core Duo iMac running Mac OS 10.4.11. We'll call this iMac 2G.
    The second is an 800 MHz PowerPC G4 iMac running Mac OS 10.4.11. We'll call this iMac 800M.
    I am attempting to file share the two computers. I can connect iMac 800M to the iMac 2G via "Connect to Server" fine. When I try to do the reverse, iMac 2G to the iMac 800M, the "Connect to Server" login window want to use the "Short Name" listed in the "Account" panel for the login name instead the full name.
    Is there a way to fix this so that it will work with the full name will work in the login window?
    Thanks.
    BTW - I do not know if this matters but I used the "ChangeShortName" (version 1.3) utility to fix the short name problem in the iMac 2G. Everything work fine after running the program.

    Never mind, there were two login information stored in the keychain. Deleting the old one seem to correct the problem.

  • JDBC Url for connecting SQL Server Alias name

    Hi All,
    I am having a SqlServer Databse Instance for that we have created "alias name".
    i am unable to connect to that particular alias name.
    please can any one though light on this plz.

    If i am geussing right, you mean that you have created a TNS Name for your Database Server.
    If you are accessing it from your DB Client via the TNS name, maybe the CLient is configured to contact a TNS Server to retrieve the IP if the server.
    Your JDBC Driver does not do that. Either use the IP of the DB Server or provide a Source for the Driver to look up the IP via the TNS Name.
    How this is accomplished deplends on your Database.

  • How to change names in "favorite servers" list of Connect-to-Server

    I've got a bunch of often-used servers saved in the list that shows up when I do "apple-K" (Finder's "Connect to Server"). but they're entered as IP addresses; I'd like to rename them so that I can actually recognize which one is which without having to look up the IP address in a list. Is there any way to customize this list to edit how the various frequently-used servers appear there?

    The simplest solution would be to remove the server connections you don't want, then just re-connect to them using the name.

  • Favorites in Connect to Server

    I have several remote computers that I access periodically.  I would like to use Connect to Server to access them.  As far as I can tell, I can only save the IP address and that is not very useful because I don't remember which IP address corresponds to which computer.  Is there a way to change the name that appears in the Favorites box to something more useful?

    You know, when I looked before, there wasn't a favorite added, but sure enough, one is put in there - maybe the Finder just didn't update fast enough. I have to say though, that is the first time in a long while that I've seen anything placed in the Favorites folder (well, except for what I put in there - I keep an alias on the dock). It still looks like it just gets the server location for use in the dialog.

  • Sort the list of Favorite Servers, in the Connect to Server window?

    Hello...
    In 10.5 and 10.6, can I change the order of the Favorite Servers list in the Connect to Server window?
    I see the data is stored as files in ~/Library/Favorites, but I'm not seeing where the Connect to Server window gets its sort order.
    TIA

    Greg --
    Guillaume is totally correct.  The display order of enterprise templates is by the date they were created.  I have tested this on a Project Server 2013 system that has the latest Cumulative Updates applied.  The problem is that in the
    Microsoft Project 2013 desktop application, Microsoft has ditched the Templates dialog we used to see and replaced it with a page in the Backstage.  I am afraid that in doing so, they have eliminated the sorting capabilities that we found in earlier versions.
    Out of curiosity, I have sent an e-mail to my MPV contacts within the Microsoft Project Server development team at Microsoft, asking if there is any intention of changing this functionality to allow for sorting by template name.  If I get an answer,
    I will post it in this user forum.
    Your question is a good one, and the sorting problem (or lack of sorting) can be a real problem in any organization that has a sizable number of enterprise templates.  Hope this additional bit helps.

  • Automator "Connect to Server" doesn't work with spaces in volume name

    I'm trying to use an old Automator Workflow I had set up in Snow Leopard that connected to a list of specified server mounts (both Windows smb:// and Apple afp://). It works fine for most of them, until it hits a mount point that has a space in it, where it fails. Looking at the debug area it looks like it's trying to connect to "smb://Server/Example%20Name" instead of "smb://Server/Example Name" and failing. Yet, when I use the "Connect to Server…" functionality in Finder, the same URL works just fine. Is there any syntax that will make this work correctly in Automator?

    As I said I never used this before Lion and I don;t have any smb shares to test on but this is what I've found which may be of help:
    The following workflow connects to my MB from an iMac:
    Notice that the MB name is administrator's MacBook with a space and an apostrophe. Notice the %chars for the space and the apos so I don't think that the %20 for the space in your case is causing the problem.
    When I tried this by entering afp://administrator's MacBook it failed. The error message showed the special chars converted as in the url that worked what was missing was the everything after the _ in the name.
    When I did a connect to server in the Finder and selected Recent servers from the pull down and selected administrator's MacBook the url in the action above was shown. I copied the url from the server address line and pasted into the Automater action.
    This might be of some help in your case at least it might show if the %20 is really causing the problem.

  • Connect To Server Hangs Before Prompting For Name And Password

    Hi Everyone.
    Connect to Server hangs for 25 seconds before prompting for name and password.
    I am trying to access a share on a Windows 2008 R2 domain controller via a Mac running 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) using SMB.
    Example: smb://192.168.101.11/sharename
    Once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
    I have specified port 139 and login name, I have disabled IP6 on the Mac, the Mac and Windows 2008 server are on the same LAN and are wired.
    Again, once connected, browsing is fine - it's just the connecting that takes a long time.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Damian

    Something to add ...
    Connecting to a Windows 2008 stand-alone server outside of the domain (e.g., workgroup) does not have the same problem - the name and password prompt shows immediately.

  • Error cannot connect to server or DNS name when working with the SRDemo

    I receive the error cannot connect to server or Dns name when trying to
    display the SRlist.jspx page in the SRDemo. I am using the embedded OC4J server . I tried to using the debugger to trouble shoot the problem but I did not get any information that was useful. The url I am using is http://localhost:8989/SRDemo-UserInterface-context-root/faces/app/SRlist.jspx I also tried using the IP address that didn't work . I really need to get through this demo.

    What about using:
    http://127.0.0.1:8989/SRDemo-UserInterface-context-root/faces/app/SRlist.jspx
    Or disabling any proxy settings your browser might have?

    Abbasi,
    This error message can be related with Doc ID 751784.1, here is the workaround suggested:
    1. Stop all Siebel Enteprise components (Gateway/Siebel Server/Web Server)
    2. Copy SIEBEL_ROOT/siebsrvr/IVSE.LIC to SIEBEL_ROOT/gtwysrvr/
    3. Restart the Siebel Enterprise components
    4. Use srvrmgr to confirm a connection to the Gateway Name Server can be made without error e.g.
    srvrmgr /g gateway1 /e enterprise1 /u sadmin /p sadmin
    If successful a message such as "Connected to 1 server(s) out of a total of 1 server(s) in the enterprise" will be displayed.
    Hope it helps.

  • Scan to Email Error Message "cannot connect to server. check server name and address"

    I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus. 
    I've been using this printer for several months.  Now am getting an ERROR message when I try to scan to email that it "cannot connect to server. check server name and address" 
    I'm not sure how to check this.  We can all still print remotely via the internet connection. 
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks for the info.,
    Did you recently change your operating system or network router that started to cause this error?
