Connecting To Server Via AFP

My challenge is with connecting to a server using AFP.  I am receiving an error message "There was a problem connecting to the server...the server may not exist..."
I am traveling and on a wireless network.  I tried pinging the IP Address of the server and get a "timed-out" response.  I also tried pinging Google and receive the same timed-out message.  The odd thing is that I can get to the Internet and get from site to site.
If I switch to an AirCard, I'm able to connect to the server using AFP.
Any suggestions to resolve this on the wireless network would be appreciated,
John

The challenge I encountered was related to the router settings.  After a tweak or two, I was able to connect.

  • OD users unable to connect to a server via afp

    We have a Mac OS 10.9.2 with Server 3.1.2.  We are able to access the server for file sharing via smb with OD accounts just fine.  But we are unable to connect to the server using afp with any OD account, only local system accounts.  I have tried turning off SMB for all of the file shares, but this did not help resolve the issue.
    The log shows a login attempt immediately followed by a logout.
    Aug  7 13:40:33 server.company.com AppleFileServer[736] <Info>: IP 192.168.101.2 - - "Login -----" -5023 0 0
    Aug  7 13:40:33 server.company.com AppleFileServer[736] <Info>: IP 192.168.101.2 - - "Logout -----" -5023 0 0
    I did edit out the user and the server name.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Many Open Directory problems can be resolved by taking the following steps. Test after each one, and back up all data before making any changes.
    1. The OD master must have a static IP address on the local network, not a dynamic address.
    2. You must have a working DNS service, and the server's hostname must match its fully-qualified domain name. To confirm, select the server by name in the sidebar of the Server application window, then select the Overview tab. Click the Edit button on the Host Name line. On the Accessing your Server sheet, Domain Name should be selected. Change the Host Name, if necessary. The server must have at least a three-level name (e.g. "server.yourdomain.com"), and the name must not be in the ".local" top-level domain, which is reserved for Bonjour.
    3. The primary DNS server used by the server must be 127.0.0.1 (that is, itself) unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.
    4. Follow these instructions to rebuild the Kerberos configuration on the master.
    5. If you use authenticated binding, check the validity of the master's certificate. The common name must match the hostname and domain name. Deselecting and then reselecting the certificate in Server.app has been reported to have an effect in some cases.
    6. Unbind and then rebind the clients in the Users & Groups preference pane. Use the fully-qualified domain name of the master.
    7. Reboot the master and the clients.
    8. Don't log in to the server with a network user's account.
    9. As a last resort, export all OD users. In the Open Directory pane of Server, delete the OD server. Then recreate it and import the users. Ensure that the UID's are in the 1001+ range.

  • Leo cannot connect to WIN 2000 SP4 Server via AFP!

    Dear folks,
    I set up an PowerMac G4 MDD as a first Leopard-Test Machine for our production environment. Mac OS X 10.5 was installed on a clean HD without any old stuff on it.
    My serious problem ist that this Mac cannot establish a connection to a WIN2000 Server (SP 4) via AFP.
    I am able to enter cmd-K, server IP, and in the following dialogue login and password.
    Instead of showing the available shares I get an error -41 (unknown error) an should contact the server admin.
    Interestingly, I have absolutely no probs to connect via AFP to another Win2000 machine with SP 2 installed.
    Also I tried several manipulations on the appleshare plist file I found here and in other forums. With no luck.
    I have no idea anymore what else to try.
    With Tiger and Panther everything is fine.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Regards,
    Stefan

    I have not been able to reproduce error -41, but I have been able to reproduce a failure to connect on Windows 2000 SP4.
    On the windows server, make sure you are using either 'Microsoft Only', 'Apple Encrypted', or 'Apple Encrypted or Microsoft'.
    You can check this by right clicking on 'My Computer', selecting 'Manage', right clicking on 'Shared Folders' under 'System Tools' and selecting 'Configure File Server for Macintosh'. It will be on that first screen that comes up.
    If you just MUST use unencrypted passwords, or can't access the NT server, you can set the following and it seems to work fine.
    Err:~ eb$ defaults write com.apple.AppleShareClient "afpcleartextwarn" -bool YES
    Err:~ eb$ defaults write com.apple.AppleShareClient "afpcleartextallow" -bool YES

  • Connect to Server freezes AFP client and hangs Finder

    I have a brand new iMac core2duo (2GB RAM) and an older G4 iMac. Machines are running 10.4.8 (all updates applied) and 10.4.7 respectively. They're connected via Ethernet on my home network through a router.
    When I first set up the Intel Mac I had no problems connecting to the G4 via Connect to Server. I could log in and mount remote volumes, etc. Now, after about a week of use, the Intel Mac AFP client hung after I logged in to the G4 and selected the remote volume to mount. The only way to cancel the operation was to Force Quit the process. Activity Monitor indicated the application as "not responding." This happened three times. I was able to connect to the Intel machine from the G4 without problem.
    After two or three attempts at this, I tried simply connecting through the Network icon in a Finder window. This hung the Finder at pretty much the same point as before (after logging in and selecting a volume to access). After force quitting the Finder, the frozen window closed. However, I then decided to restart the Intel Mac "for the **** of it" to see if it would solve the AFP problem. After clicking Restart, the Desktop was cleared and the machine froze. (No kernel panic, just an empty Finder desktop with my wallpaper and a mouse cursor). I was forced to physically shut down and restart the machine.
    I'd very much like to know why this is happening on a brand new machine with very little software and how to resolve it. In general both machines are manually put to sleep at night, they are not shut down.

    Unlike those above, I've had the alternate problem. After being connected to a newtork share (SAMBA off an Intel MacMini) all day, I try to eject the network drive so I can go home for the night. End result is that the drive won't eject and after another try the finder hangs completely. Can't force quit...just spinning BBOD.
    I have seen this behavior in 10.4.8 (not in 10.4.7) on both a 4 year old TiBook and a brand-spanking new MacBookPro 15.4". It's disturbing, because the same problem happens when you sleep your machine and wake it up elsehwere.....the finder hangs for a while trying to find the network share.
    Thoughts?

  • "Connect to server" inserts "afp://" in front of "vnc://"? 10.4.11

    Hi All: I have a macbook running 10.4.11 connecting to the internet through a wireless router. I'm trying to connect to a vnc server in a remote location. When I go to "connect to server" and enter:
    vnc://[ip address]
    the "connecting to server" window pops up, but I see in there "connecting to afp://vnc//[ip address]"
    where it seems to be inserting "afp://" in front of what I entered, and stripping out the colon after "vnc"
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi BD: I'm not sure I understand all your questions...let me clarify the topology.
    The system I'm trying to connect to has a VNC server running on it and is accessible through a public IP. I'm trying to connect to that system across the 'net from my laptop. I don't have access to that system, but their IT guy assures me people are able to connect to it remotely and screen share.
    Also, I'm able to connect to the remote computer using AFP...it's just VNC that's not connecting.
    My laptop is on a local subnet connecting through a WAP that connects to a DSL router. I have not configured any special PAT or forwarding on my end that would be messing with an outgoing VNC connection. Again, I'm trying to connect as a client to a remote VNC server so I can share the screen of the server (I'm pretty sure the "server" is just a Mac with sharing enabled).

  • Can't connect to server via apple+k

    If i try and connect to another machine via GO>CONNECT TO SERVER I get the beachball of death which spins forever until I force quit finder.
    I have created a new user account and if i try the same it works perfectly, which suggests to me a file/preference has corrupted.
    Does anybody have an idea what files may be corrupt and need deleting?
    Thank you

    Managed to sort it myself.
    Moved the Library folder from 'Username'>Library onto my desktop and logged out of the dodgy account.
    Logged in again and a new Library folder was created. Apple+k then worked.
    I then copied the old files into the new folder in batches of 20, logged out then in again and kept trying Apple+k.
    I put all the files back,logging out then in every time, ensuring the file I was copying overwrote the new file.
    After I had copied all the files I rebooted and upon restart Apple+k worked.
    I have no idea what the actual corrupt file was, but at least other people with the same problem now have a method of getting back to normal.

  • Since updating to Leopard can't connect to server via internet

    Since updating our server to Leopard I haven't been able to connect to it via the internet from home. Any ideas? Says verification failed when I try to re-add it. Ports 3283 and 5900 are open at both ends.
    Edit: I just managed to access it using the root account. Any ideas why it's not working with the other admin accounts via the internet (they work when I'm local)?

    It appears that the adding a user to the "allow access for" list corresponds to adding group membership, in the group "com.apple.access_ssh".
    So, one way of brute-forcing a user into this list would be to add it to the group. One way of doing this at the command-line:
    sudo dscl . append /Groups/com.apple.access_ssh GroupMembership whatever-my-admin-account-is-called
    This will require a password and only work for people with sudo permission, natch.
    CAVEATS:
    1) I have no idea what you mean when you say "local" users. What distinguishes the "local" users from the others?
    2) I do not know where the OS stores the information about whether or not the "All Users" radio button is checked. I just checked to see whether checking this box adds all users to the com.apple.access_ssh group, and I confirmed that it does not.

  • IMessage, can't connect to server via id

    Hi
    For several days now I try to connect to iMessages from my MacAir. Each time I try to log-on via my apple-id I get an error message stating that there is a server issue and I should try later. I'm well able to connect to iMessages via my iPad. Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    I think something is up at apple.
    I'm still not able to connect to iMessages via my MA. Although I have the correct password I tried to change it via iMessages which directs me to iforgot.apple.com. If I chose to change it via my email address I do not get an email with the corresponding link to do so. It is not in the spam either.
    Nobody experiences the same problem?

  • Cannot connect to server via hostname

    When I ping this server, it replies with the correct IP address. However, if I want to RDP to it, I can only do it by IP and not hostname.
    If I go by hostname, it returns this error:
    "Remote Desktop cannot verify the identity of the remote computer because there is a time or date difference between your computer and the remote computer. Make sure your computer's clock is set to the correct time, and then try connecting again. If
    the problem occurs again, contact your network administrator or the owner of the remote computer."
    I verified that there is no date or time difference, which I doubt would be the cause of the problem anyway since I'm able to RDP to that server via IP address just fine.
    I found this article:
    http://andywolf.com/windows-2008-r2-server-loses-network-connectivity/#comments
    It details the same symptoms, except the fact that it says they ran this command:
    netsh trace start scenario=netconnection capture=yes report=yes tracefile=c:\net.etl
    And it said that they discovered kernel socket leaks as a result. I did not find anything that indicated kernel socket leaks.
    any ideas?

    Hi
    You need to run couple of test to make sure the host name is resolving to the correct IP.
    Form another working machine run nslookup and put this computer hostname then hostname with FQDN and make sure it is returning the correct IP.
    If its not then try clearing cache on the local machine form cmd with ipconfig /flushdns and on you DNS server with dnscmd /clearcache. Try again to resolve the hostname if still the same.
    Check in the DNS console and make sure this host got the correct IP address assigned to it if not delete the record and release and renew the IP if you are using dynamic IP. If you are using static then ipconfig /registerdns.
    It could be the DNS suffix issue.
    Please update with the above.

  • Slow RD connection to server via RD Gatway if NLA is disabled on the server

    If I disable NLA on a server (tried on 2 different servers), the rd connection (via gateway only) is much slower (over 1 min to get to the logon screen).
    RD Gateways are 2012R2, hosts are 2012 and 2012 R2.
    Re-enabling NLA fixes the issue. Any ideas?
    Dario Palermo

    Hi Dario,
    Putting the gatewayusagemethod:i:1 in the .rdp file will force the RD Client to use the gateway always and thus speed up the connection time. When connecting from the Internet, as a test, please uncheck Bypass RD Gateway server for local addresses in the RD
    Client options--Advanced tab--RD Gateway settings.
    Please try “Require user authentication for remote connections by using Network Level Authentication” policy setting under below path.
    Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security
    Configure Network Level Authentication for Remote Desktop Services Connections
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732713.aspx
    Addition you can check for “Network security: LAN Manager authentication level”

  • Connect to Server via SMB does not work under 10.5

    Hi- I have a feeling that my account has to be reset server-side, but I'd enjoy some feedback. I still use a dual (1gHz) Quicksilver G4 which is solid as a rock and still adequate to my needs. Apart from an overall seeming sluggishness, I have a very serious problem: I am one of 7 Macs on a much larger Windows network and connecting to the various servers and directly to my Windows desktop using SMB has always worked great. Up until yesterday. After upgrading to 10.5 from 10.4.10, I couldn't get on to any of the servers, I checked the network setting and noted that they reverted to AFP. I enabled SMB and still can't get onto any of our network servers. I am, however, able to get into the Mac Public\Drop Box from the WIndows computer, but not vice-versa. I have already verified and repaired permissions, etc. Solutions, suggestions? Patch forthcoming?

    Same problem with my Nokia 6650d, also after Ovi upgrade. Any hints?

  • Connection to server via smb not working

    hi,
    i have an old G4 iBook 10.3.9 that i'm using for school. to connect to our school server for course material, we were given smb log-in instructions from our it dept. when i put in the ip address, i get a prompt for the id and password, but i cannot get access. we tried logging on with my professor's macbook pro (10.5) and it worked flawlessly.
    i've done all software updates and rechecked the procedure dozens of times, but i can't figure out why it's not working. if anyone has an idea, i'm all ears.
    thanks,

    As you can see the content is there, the "space" between the letters is related to unicode. Each character is interpreted by 2 bytes and SQL*Plus wrongly displays both. Using iSQLPLus or SQLDeveloper does not show the "space" between the letters.
