"Connect to server" switches spaces

Hello,
A fairly minor annoyance, but for someone who uses 9 desktop spaces and connects to servers all the time, it's getting really tiresome:
When I open the 'connect to server' dialog, it will often switch spaces before it opens. In short, I hate this and believe that it should not happen.
Does anyone know how to make it work properly, or is this just another one of the 'learn to love it' / 'it doesn't bother me, so it shouldn't bother you' issues?
Thanks,
-Travis

i hate this one too but I don't think there is any way around it. the connect to server window will open in the last space it was used. you can move this window to a different space while it's open and the next time it will open there but that's the best you can do.

  • 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.

  • How to identify which server are connected in a switch?

    Hi,
    Many servers are connected to a switch?
    How to identify what server are connected to which port remotely?
    Thanks!
    Samuel

    Hi Sam,
    just issue the command show ip arp , it will display some thing like this for know the MAC address & the VLAN number.
    Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
    Internet 10.2.1.18 9 0800.6913.710e ARPA Vlan2
    to know on which port it is connected, just issue the command as mentioned below
    sh mac-address-table address 0800.6913.710e
    Mac Address Table
    Vlan Mac Address Type Ports
    2 0800.6913.710e DYNAMIC Po1
    hpe this will help you to identify your servers.

  • Server with 3 NICs wants to connect to 2 switches

    I have two 6509 on the distro layer ( distro 1 and distro2 ), running layer 2 only. They are connected to two 6509s on the core layer. One of the server admins has a 3 port NIC on his server bundled together to increase bandwidth. He wants to connect it to 2 ports on the distro1 and 1 port on the other distro2 switch. All 3 distro ports he is connecting to are in the same VLAN and the VLAN is allowed on all port channel connections between distro and core switches.
    Will this even work since he is connected on different switches?

    Those stating that a NIC channel is not allowed to two individual switches should know that a NIC teaming is usually not a link aggregation (port-channel). If it is an active-standby-standby NIC team then all you need is to make sure all 3 ports belong to the same VLAN. Traffic will leave the server on the active link and the switches will learn that the MAC address is on this port. No Port-channel config is necessary on the switches.
    Load-balanced NIC teaming usually requires Port-channel if the same src MAC address can appear on multiple ports. In this case multichassis link aggregation is mandatory and you cannot connect to individual switches.

  • Can we connect single server to the multiple switches?

    Hello Team,
    I want to redesign the Client network in order to provide network availability and fail over. I have designed attached diagram. I have doubt if we can connect a server having multiple NICs to different uplink switches.
    let say NIC1-2 is connected to Uplink Switch1 and NIC3-4 is connected to uplink Switch2. I want to do this so that if uplink switch1 dies then still server would be accessible via switch2.
    is there would be any problem like mac address flapping? also, I know we can configure NIC teaming but i am not too sure how that would be helpful with my attached setup.
    can you guys please look at the attached diagram and provide me your inputs?
    Thanks for response.

  • Which server is connected to a switch interface

    Hi all,
    We have a few switches in our company and we wanted to know an easy and quick way to find out which servers are connected to that switch (even if possible on which interface).
    For example:
    Firewall ->      Switch1 interface Gig 0/1
    Mail or 10.10.10.10 ->             Switch2 interface Gig 0/3
    I'm using at this moment the following command:
    show cdp neighbors
    It gives me all cisco device connected to that switch.
    Is there an other command that does the same? Displaying the DNS or IP of a server that is connected to that interface of the switch.
    Kind Regards

    Hi,
    a) there are some free tools available to track the end devices.
    SolarWinds User Device Tracker might be an example (not tested personally).
    b) If you want to run a CLI command, you usually need to take an opposite way: find out the device IP or MAC address and track to which switch port it's connected.
    So you can list the FW ARP cache in your case.
    And then to use  "trace mac ip ..." switch CLI command, e.g.
    See
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/12.2_25_sec/command/reference/cli3.html#wp1917847
    or

    for details.

  • Connecting backup server to brocade switch help

    Hi all
    We are implementing a new backup server for our SAN, the server currently had one connection to our brocade switch, is it possible to put a second connection to the brocade switch from the server? and will it team them or become a failover connection, I believe the FC card in the server is Q Logic
    hope you can help
    thanks
    Carl

    There are no restrictions whatsoever to how many ports you use to connect from your server to the switch. I had a single server that used 16 ports to each switch.
    I was wrong with the first post as I got sidetracked talking about how FC does trunking. You can't trunk from the server to the switch. It does from switch to switch though. The server multipathing software manages the traffic to the storage array normally in a round robin approach.
    If you just have a backup server <-> switch <-> FC tape drive, the traffic is managed by the backup media agent. Backups are pretty simple as tape drives are just one thing. They are not like storage arrays.
    As far as broadcast goes, look up RSCN.
    FC networking is different to IP so get a book and read up about it.

  • How to find the server connected from multiple switched netwtwork

    I have one server connected to distrubted switch or acces switch  in network .
    They were 45 switches in netwrok and need help how to find that server  connected switch  from  Core switch ?
    How many  mehtodes and process we can use to find that connected physical switch ?
    Thanks in advance !!!

    It's a bit of a tedious process. but if you ping the IP address of the server from the core switch and then check the ARP entry to get its MAC address, you can then trace the address tables in the switches to find the switch that the server is physically connected to. Once you have the MAC address, you'll have to check the address table in each switch in the path between the core and the server to find it.

  • Connecting to server after upgrading to Snow Leopard

    I'm trying to connect to a hard drive wirelessly which is connected to a router. I used to have Leopard and connected fine by going Finder > Connect to Server  and inputting:
    smb://FND/Media
    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard I haven't been able to connect. I've tried connecting using the same address as above and also with:
    smb://192.168.1.11/Media
    Both open a dialog box asking for user name and password. As no password is setup just hitting enter should work (it did on Leopard). However, this time it brings up an error message saying:
    Connection Error
    There was an error connecting to the server “192.168.1.11”. Check the server name or IP address, and then try again.
    If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator.
    Also when trying to browse for the server it doesn't appear. I'm not sure if it did on Leopard as I never needed to look for it. I can get into the hard drive by typing the IP address into Safari, but just can't connect to it.

    First, make sure caps lock is not on.
    Another reason why your password might not be recognized is that the keyboard layout (input source) has been switched without your realizing it. At the login screen, you can cycle through the available layouts by pressing the key combination command-space or command-option-space. See this support article.
    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Close the Terminal window to get it out of the way.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead these instructions.

  • Update will not connect to server, continuous lagging and questionable security?

    I actually have a few questions. I recently switched to Firefox from IE9 for a few reasons. My IT Security professor mentioned Firefox was safer than most and an online article suggested it was faster than IE9. So I decided to give it a chance; the previous version was too slow and wouldn't play any video so I downloaded version 4. It worked great for about 3-4 weeks and now I'm having the following problems:
    1. Every time Firefox says it has to update, the window pops up to connect to server. All it does is continuously try to connect (nothing happens). Now, one time I left it open all day to see if it would and that night a window popped up and said to restart Firefox to complete. I did what it said and it just started trying to connect to the server again.
    2. When I first downloaded Firefox 4 it was fast and almost never lagged. Now, it seems as if every page I try to connect to lags. In fact, sometimes I have to close it down and restart. It's actually normal pages I open everyday like school, mail, weather and typical Yahoo pages. Nothing has changed on my end, so I'm unaware of why this is happening now.
    3. I'm really concerned with the security issues. I still have IE9; recently, because of lagging and security issues, I've tried switching between the two to check cleaning details. I'll run my cleaner after a day of IE9 and do the same for Firefox (same typical searches). With IE9, there's not much to clean, maybe 17-18 mb's at most (cookies, typical stuff) and never had a virus. The CPU monitor also stays calm. On Firefox, I get 160-210 mb's every time. The CPU gauge fluctuates constantly and I've had three viruses.
    I'm not sure if it's because the updates will not take or what, but I've had to switch back to IE9 because of these problems. I really enjoyed Firefox (when it worked); the interface was easy to navigate and use and in the beginning was very fast. I miss it! But because of these issues, I have to take a break until they are fixed. I can't afford to have my computer crash. Please help!

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Error Message when attempting to connect to server directory List View.

    I just transferred my entire Mac (User, Hard Drive Files, Network, Time & Date) from one MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz to another MacBook Pro 2.4 Ghz machine. Everything seemed fine but the following.
    My computer connects to a Mac OS X Server (10.5.2) in our office. After I connect to the directories by going to (Finder > Go > Connect to Server) and mount the directory to my desktop, I drag the directory to my Dock for one click access. Due to the shear volume of files in the directory, it is preferred to display the directory in a list (view). Following me so far? When I click the directory in the dock, the files appear in list view above the directory (as expected). However, here's the issue. *When I click on a folder in the pop up list of folders, I receive the following alert.*
    *The application cannot be launched.*
    -35
    I then hit OK.
    Now, if I switch the view to Grid and click on a folder, no problem, the folder opens up in the Finder.
    I am stuck on why this is happening and can't seem to find out what this -35 error represents.
    Extra Note: I have already ejected the desktop mounted icon and trashed the alias from the dock and then reconnected all of them with no luck.
    Thanks for any help you might be able to provide.
    Regards,
    Brent

    Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I just spoke to an Apple Consultant and he claims he has seen the same error occur with his client's machines when he upgraded them to 10.5.3. He did offer a possible work around that I will try and let you know if it works.
    He suggest I connect to the server/shared directory and mount it to my desktop. Then create an alias of that directory and hide it somewhere in my home folder (~/Documents/Server). Then drag that alias icon to my dock. Disconnect the directory still mounted on my desktop. With no directories connected, click on the alias in the dock and have it pull up the list view. He claims it works. Again, I will try it and report my findings.

  • Network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server keeps reverting to user set 4

    I didn't used to have this problem as far as I'm aware, but as of recently, I've noticed that if I try to download more than 4 of one thing at a time from the same site, it would fail. For instance, if I have up 5 web pages of streaming content, only 4 will load, the other 5th one will do nothing until I finish one of the others. Upon looking up some information on this, I saw that the network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server is set at "user set = 4", and if I change that number to anything else, it corresponds. If I click to 'reset' the number, it goes to the default of 6 - which is still less than what it used to be. I used to not even have a limit on this as far as I'm aware, or if I did, it was well beyond 10 and that wasn't a product of me manipulating it.
    What I'm asking is this:
    1) How do I make this so it permanently switches to a higher number? Every time I reset it to 6 or I manually change the number to something higher, once I close it, those settings go back to 4.
    2) Why is it reverting and not staying the way I change it?
    3) What's the purpose of this and why is it just recently doing it when I haven't put any new add-ons or made any other refinements to Firefox that I'm aware of?
    Any help would be appreciated

    Two possible causes for it resetting to 4 that I can think of.
    # You have an add-on handing that pref and that is resetting it to 4 when Firefox is restarted.
    # That pref is set via user.js and that causes it to go to that value as Firefox starts.

  • "connecting to server" lag when trying to save documents to network

    the problem is he can be fine for the full day, then it will happen.  
    very odd.
    server has been restart, not happening to any other user.  

    I am pulling out my hair on this one.
    Clients network is very simple:
    Dell Server with AD and 4 computers.  
    One user out of the blue when they open Outlook or Excel/Adobe and go to save to My Documents or a network share they get "connecting to server" and it hangs for some time.  
    I have done the following:
    - Replace router (other reason), replace switch, toned/tested/re-terminated wire to this desk.
    - Wiped and reloaded this machine multiple times
    - Removed all antivirus on workstation and server
    Still happening.  Everyone else has no issue, all same version of Office (2013).  His My Documents is redirected and only 10GB, other users have 60GB in this folder.
