Connecting to other machines!!

I have installed solaris 8.0 on sunfire v100. Everything is going fine, but the problem is other machines can access it with both name and IP address, while this machine can connect to other machines with IP address only. i have put the nameserver in resolv.conf also, added router, but it doesn't work. Please help!!!

Hello,
You have to force solaris to use dns naming service instead of only using files. This is done with the file /etc/nsswitch.conf. You must edit it and include dns at the hosts entry (line). Have you done this?

Using thread and socket connection with other machines

Hi all!
we are using weblgoic 5.1 SP9 JDK1.2.2
we already using java.net.Socket and java.lang.Thread
to communication TANDEM Machine on the weblogic.
the reason why we use to socket and thread even though it is not
recommanded is that below
1. once we connect Socket, then we using until server shutdown or
connection may has the problem, so we're using thread to wait
java.io.Inputstream to read from socket.(if I using EJB, It can't
wait socket inputstream indefinetly, because it has timeout)
2. we're logging Database date sent or received with TANDEM Machine.
so we need Database Access. so we using Database Access
thru Weblogic.
3. EJB Application using (other EJB Application - send Module)
to send data to TANDEM Machine. So "Send Module" should
be implemented EJB.
but. Now I see there might be problem this framework.
so, is there some way by just using J2EE spec, to implement this kind of
framework.
wait for your great help !!
regards.

Yes i've tried interrupt method and it doesn't have any effects on the thread... it stay in connect() method...
And for the timeouts, in fact i use an API : J2SSH, to connect with SSH protocol, and the setting of connection timeouts is not implemented yet... and the default timeout is about 4 minutes...
so i don't know how to solve this problem...

Connecting from other machine

I have installed Oracle XE 11.2 on a windows 2008 server. I am unable to connect to this database from a client machine. Tried simple connection from SQL developer, and TNS from sql plus. I am getting the following error:
Status : Failure -Test failed: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
I have the listener on port 1526 and Application express on 9093. I am able to connect to APEX from the client machines with no issues. Its the database I am unable to connect. I can connect to the database from the host machine (server) but not from any clients.
Please help / advice....
Edited by: johnj2 on May 31, 2013 6:33 AM

Could be the firewall blocking 1526, if its an actual network error. Is there a TNS error number?
Maybe -12505 listener does not currently know of SID ... or -12514 listener does not currently know of service requested ... ? If the database listener is not on the default 1521 port the local_listener parameter should be set to point the instance at the listener. On the database host make sure the database service has registered, should have both the "xe" and "xexdb" services showing in a lsnrctl services listing.
If the apex web page is working for remote clients, but not database connects, still could be a firewall block.
The telnet utility can reveal if a port is blocked, in a command box try `telnet <host> 1526` from any remote host. If the port isn't blocked it should behave like a command box lockup. Then again, if the client is win 8, may not even have telnet, its optional.

Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal? For example, telnet ip address of other machine

Can I connect my Mac (Mac OS X) with other machine (Windows OS) on same LAN using telnet in terminal?
For example, telnet <ip address of other machine>
I m a networking student and I have learned to connect 2 machines on Red hat Linux OS on same Ethernet LAN which has same subnet mask. As Mac OS X is also a linux based OS I m trying to connect my Mac with my friends windows based machine using telnet <ip address of his machine>. However, I get a message "unable to connect to remote host".
Can anyone please tell me is this the problem because of different OS or it is something different!
Please reply...it will of great help..

The machine you're trying to connect to needs a Telnet server running on it - telnetd listening on port 23 (usually).
Incidentally, Mac OS X is not a Linux based OS, it is based on BSD Unix.

Does RMI all you to connect to hosts on other machine?

I have been attempting to connect to another server with the following host name
http://mhsc04.omc.bt.co.uk/
The program comes back with a connection refused exception even though i used a policy. Which is below.
grant {
permission java.security.AllPermission "", "";
Does RMI allow you to connect to host on other machines and if so how does it allow you to do this
Thanks in advance

I have sorted this problem of connection refused as i had forgotten to start the rmiregistry on that hosts machine now i get an Unmarshalling exception which i have posted before

We have a PC with iTunes that needs the hard drive reformatted. Right now, it can't connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my music to a thumb drive, then re-load when the computer is reformatted?

We have a Windows XP desktop with iTunes for windows. The hard drive needs to be reformatted. Right now, the computer will not connect to other computers on the network. Can I save my iTunes songs to a thumbdrive, then re-load after reformatting? How do I do it?

Copy the entire iTunes folder out to the drive. If it is too big to go as one copy stuff over to another computer in batches. It is important to have not only the media but the library file in order to properly restore your library.
See also this User Tip. Assuming the machine won't connect to the internet you could download the SyncToy installer on another machine and then transfer it with the thumb drive. If it will connect to the net don't forget to deauthorize the machine before reformatting the hard drive.

How can I use my airport extreme to connect a windows machine to the internet? I don't have the software disks anymore...

I no longer have any disks for my airport extreme (its pre-time capsule)... how can I connect my windows machine to it in order to get to the internet?

You can directly download the AirPort Utility for Windows from Apple Support here.
Once the AirPort Extreme is properly configured for Internet access you can connect your PC to the Extreme either by a wired or wireless connection.

The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component 'GUID′ in search application 'Search Service Application' is in a good state and try again.

Another post with a well-known title. Believe me, I know. Here's my setup;
- 1 Server 2012 WFE, SharePoint Server 2013, totally up-to-date, including the september 2014 hotfix
- 1 Server 2012 DB, SQL Server 2012
Installed SP 2013 using PowerShell, with the AutoSPinstaller. Worked like a charm. Got everything up and running, with some tweaking here and there to customize it to fit my situation. Now, I can't get the Search Service Application to work. Must have created,
deleted and recreated it at least 30 times. Used both PowerShell scripts, PowerShell line-by-line, Central Admin, heck, I even went so far as to use the configuration wizzard... No luck. I keep on getting the message that search cannot connect to the machine
that hosts the 'administration component'.
In order to avoid answers that suggest all the things I've already tried, here's a summary of the various scenarios I followed:
Tried both a dedicated application pool as well as the SharePoint Web Services Default
Timer job job-application-server-admin-service is running and not showing errors
IIS 8.0 is installed, so is .NET 4.5 (not the known perp of IIS 7.5 and .NET 4.0)
the get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -local returns a healthy, online state
the SPEnterpriseSearchQueryAndSiteSettingsServiceInstance is also running
FireWall is disabled; registry has the BackConnectionHostNames modified with the necessary FQDNs
Accounts used to install and / or run the serviceapp all have sufficient rights - tried a dedicated managed account, SP_2013_SearchSvc, the SP admin account, and even the original Farm account; all to no avail, I keep on getting the error message.
Even tried stsadm to start the server search running - NOTHING WORKS!!!
As you might understand, this is driving me nuts. About to miss my second deadline, and no amount of IISresetting is making this go away. Been stuck on this issue for far too long, now (my searching is measured in days and weeks instead of hours, by now).
Whoever helps me solve this - you will have my eternal gratitude, and a nice bottle of Prosecco. Or whatever's your poison. You need to come get it, though. I´m situated in the Netherlands. Hey, you always meant to visit Amsterdam and see for yourself, right?
Thanks, community, for coming to my rescue!

Thanks again - Alas, I've been there. Deleted Search a dozen times, at least, and tried installing it, initially using a PowerShell script (tried several scripts actually, from full-blown total Search Applications with extensive topologies to the most basic
of basics 'please just start without showing me errors'), PowerShell line-by-line to see where things went South, next tried installing through Central Admin (hoping that it was my own stupidity in overlooking things and hoping The System would get it right
for me), and eventually even tried using the config wizzard as a total and utter last resort - Nothing worked.
At first, I found out that removing a Service App needs a *little* bit more work than simply removing it through Central Admin, but by now I can truthfully state that if there's one thing I've become supergood at, it's removing Search Service Applications.Totally.
I will check out the article, though - I realized early on in my SharePoint experience that regardless of what you think you know, there's so much more to find out. I know, that's almost philosophical. That is, my friends, indeed the point I've reached...

SharePoint 2013 - document libraries and newsfeeds are visible when viewed using Internet Explorer running on the server but not from any other machine

On a single Windows 2012 R2 server I have installed SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013 SP1 with the latest update roll ups. When I remote desktop to the server using the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using
Internet Explorer, I'm able to see newsfeeds and document libraries.
If I connected to a separate Windows 7 machine as the farm and site collection admin account and open page http://server_name_here using Internet Explorer, I'm able to view the SharePoint pages except I cannot see any newsfeeds or document libraries.
There's just blank space where they should be. I have repeated this process on several other machines that are not the server and get the same result on every machine (I've tried other servers, desktops, adding the SharePoint site to the trusted sites list
in IE, even using firefox). I'm using the same account as I did when I logged onto the server directly. Any thoughts as to what's going on?
Thanks!

Thanks for the idea, Harsh. What am I looking for?
It is currently set to the default of http://server_name and http://server_name:port_number (the latter is for Central Admin).
When I have access to the server, I have always done so the same way, using http://server_name. This was true when I access it from the desktop of the server itself and when I tried to access it from other desktops and servers (the machines where I had the
issues with the libraries and feeds not showing up). Are there other values I should add?
I have not tried to add http://server_FQDN as we don't plan on using that to access it but if you think it will help I would be happy to add it.

My iMac wants to connect to another machine on startup

Hi All,
I purchased a new iMac a few weeks ago and went through the Migration Assistant to move stuff from my old G5. I did it via the ethernet method since I didn't have a fw800/400 cable to connect the 2 machines. There was a slight hiccup in that it didn't want to transfer the applications just all of my other data. I didn't mind and went forward. Now the problem, during the first few days of usage I kept filesharing on the G5 turned on so I could grab various things from its 2nd internal HD. At some point I switched off filesharing on the G5. Now I get error messages (currently during startup) that the machine (the G5) couldn't be found and that I should check my network, etc. For a while I attributed this to the ftp application Transmit. I had a long email thread with the developer because it seemed that every time I started Transmit that warning would come up. He thought it might have been an alias in my Sites folder that Transmit was trying to resolve, but that didn't seem to be the case. As part of the troubleshooting process I set Transmits default folder to be a random folder on an attached USB Drive. So that seemed to stop that warning from happening when I launched Transmit. However during the startup process of the iMac I was getting the error. It seemed to be happening when Transmit's menu bar icon was loading. So I turned off the menu bar feature. Unfortunately the warning is still coming up. So now I am trying to figure out what process is looking for the old G5.
I looked in my Console to see if anything stood out. (I've pasted a snippet below). I see a line item for rpc.statd that references the ip address of the G5, so that looks like something. But I also see that it is after the line where iClip loads. When the machine is booting up I get the error message. When I click 'OK', then the rest of the startup process continues and iClip loads after that. So not sure what that means.
If anyone has any other methods for trying to figure out what is trying to contact the G5 I would greatly appreciate it. Its really getting annoying now.
Thank You,
Chris

Hi Don,
I thought for a minute I might have found it. I had a saved search in the "Search For" section that referred to the hard drive on the G5. But unfortunately, removing it didn't prevent the error from showing during startup. If it helps I've attached a screenshot of the error message.
Thanks,
Chris

The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component

Hi
After uninstalling the binaries, and reinstalling / joining back to the farm, everything seems happy expect search.
When we try and start the Search Service back, it takes us to the Search Application section, and shows this message;
The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component
How can I get search to work again, or get around this error?
I am pretty inexperienced with Search

Hi Tibsy80,
For your issue, it can be caused by the search admin timer job was disabled.
Run below PS command to know the status:
Get-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service | fl
If it returns “IsDisabled: True”, ran below PS command to enable the service:
Enable-SPTimerJob job-application-server-admin-service
Then run below PS command to stop and start the timer and IIS reset:
Net Stop timer
Net start timer
iisreset
Then wait 1-2 min and try browsing to the SSA again.

Connect as... no longer works. Cannot connect to other computers on my home network.

I have a home network and it's been unchanged for years. Never had any issue with connecting to other computers, all of which are Macs running OS X. Now, if I click Connect As, nothing happens. Double-clicking the other computer in the Finder's sidebar or using Go To Server, etc. yields nothing. Even odder; the other machines no longer see me at all. No one has any Firewall on. File sharing is on for all machines. We're all on the same subnet and the same network, yet every other machine can connect to one another but not mine. Thoughts? Restarting has not helped. Thanks.

If you are getting the error message that the server won't allow any more users to connect, and to try again later, this seems to be a problem with AFP sharing in Lion.
The workaround for this so far is to go to System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing and click on Options... On that window, turn OFF "Share files and folders using AFP" and turn ON "Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)" Click Done to go back to the sharing window and you should see a green dot followed by "Windows Sharing: On"
Give that a try.

Can't Connect to Other Computers on My Network

I am unable to connect to other computers on my network. When I go to Finder/GO/Network the next window which should display the servers on the network, opens momentarily and then closes. After that, nothing happens when I repeat the sequence. I am able to get out on the internet but am unable to connect to the other computers on the network, so I think my Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway is working. The computer is an intel Mac Pro running OS 10.4.11. My wife is able to connect to other computers on the network with her iMac running OS 10.3.9. Any suggestions for remedying this would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully Apple will come to your aid
• Make sure all the computers on your LAN are on AppleTalk w/ File Sharing: On
• Check the Firewall settings of all workstations
• Confirm that your User or Admin account has sufficient Privileges to access sharepoints
• Reboot all machines to flush their DHCP lease or IP bottleneck
P.S. there are known issues currently with Leopard File Sharing to-and-from pre-Leopard OS X's. I do not know why your window magically closes itself. Last, run Software Update. Good luck.

Cannot connect to other computers or drives

Hi everyone,
I am unable to connect to any network drives or computers.
They show up under my "Shared" category on my finder, and everyone is able to connect to me just fine.
My internet is working fine too.
Under System Preferences > Sharing, File sharing is one.
Under the Options, AFP and SMB are both on, FTP is not (not sure with AFP and SMB are, but I thought I'd try).
I am connected to a Verizon Westell router with an Ethernet cable, as is everyone else.
Any suggestions?

Yeah that should do it and that is a safe choice so long as you are behind a router with a firewall and you implicitly trust everyone on your immediate LAN.
Unless you have Windoze boxes connecting to your machine, you don't need SMB.
When you authenticate as an admin user in System Prefs > Sharing, and you have file sharing checked and highlighted, are the folders that you expect to be shared showing up in the list of shared folders? And when you highlight each one of them one at a time, are the permissions set the way you would expect for user (owner), group, and everyone (else)?

Cannot Connect to other computers on my router

I have a u.s.robotics sureconnect 9106 (adsl modem and router - the same as
9105) and wanted to hang another pc with xp pro to my xp pro machine. So
i connect the two via ethernet cable to the router, but i am able
to ping the other machine and to use ftp but neither of the two can see
the other in windows xp pro
the same with a osx machine witch i connect for checking itunes or sharefolders
I also try my xbox with xbmc for sharing and streaming my itunes songs
but it doesn't work at all, even after i open the two ports asked by
itunes - i also deactivated outpost but that neither helped - the
strange thing is that in the outpost/system/lan-settings outpost can't
even see the other machine
I can also ping it and ftp, but nothing more
when i try to connect then outpost ask me if i want to allow it and
afterwards when i try to close itunes then it says that another user
is in my library but the xbmc says that it couldn't connect...
what have i forgotten?
I not read here that the port 5353 should be udp and i have only give the tcp port free but after changing to udp itunes not even told me on the exit that another user has access to my database
ah well i have on my router a virtual server with the same ip as my
computer (192.168.1 ist the modem 2 ist my computer and the virtual
server and 3 is the other computer) and there i set the port holes for
the nat service (itunes etc) BUT i think because of that i have
in the network connections not even a internet-gateway but only
the ethernet connection
I installed xp pro new, but then the gateway only appears for some
seconds and then disappear. But lately for a while it appears but after
some time it disappears - maybe its because i try this time not to give
my machine a fix ip and then its possible that the gateway appears when
I have another ip than the virtual server on my router, and that then
outpost also recognize the other computer?
any idea what i did wrong, or i have forgotten, i really haven't a clue
what to to and i never haven't heard that when you have a virtual
server (nat) then its not possible not to connect to others
computers...
thanks for your patience

Bought my iMac in February and worked fine up until about a month ago. I have assigned a manual IP address outside the range of other devices in my network (e.g. 192.168.0.10) and this seems to do the trick (most of the time). The problem I had was the self assigned IP address wasn't in the usual range for my router so while I was connected to Airport and the internet I couldn't view any webpages. Had to do the same thing to my Macbook which I purchased about a month ago.
The strange and very frustrating thing is sometimes it doesn't recognise my preferred network but then when it asks me to join a network, my network appears! When I try to connect and confirm password, connection times out. Whats that all about?
The bottom line is the assigned IP solution doesn't always work but it seems a combination of issues rather than one. None of the other devices on my network (ReadyNas Duo, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii etc) have issue connecting to the router using DHCP but for some reason Airport has trouble dealing with this and assigning a correct IP or can't find the network all together.
Only thing I can think is its some Airport update that has caused these intermittent issues and realy hope they fix it soon.
So no update but just wanted to share my experiences in what seems a very wide scale issue...

Connecting to other machines!!
