Connecting to Server with alias, how to get login to popup?

I have one computer, not really a server. One computer i have an alias that goes to a folder on that other computer. If im not connected, ill open the alias and ill get the login prompt without having to do the whole "Connect to server" thing. on another computer, i have the exact same aliasgoing to the same place. When its clicked on that computer, i get an error about the alias not being correct or file no present or something. I want it to work the same way where i get the login prompt.
What is preventing that from popping up automatically when trying to connect with the alias?

I was just going through all the computers that need an alias folder on their desktop to connect to this one computer. All the computers automatically prompt for the login right away when not connected to the main computer except for one. Ive deleted and recreated the alias several times and no change. here is the exact error im getting...
"The volume for "name of alias" cannot be found"
"Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the desktop, then try again"
With the other computers, it puts the volume on the desktop right then when opening the alias, again except for this one computer. What am i overlooking?

    I installed LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it with less than 7 karakters. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

    I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
    They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
    I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary?  How do I do this if so?
    I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
    Thanks again for your help.

    How to connect message server with application server?

    Hello  Damodar,
    The connection is established at the time of installation only !!. At the time of installation you need to specify the Central Instance(message server in most cases unless you have a dedicated message-enque server).

  • Is it possible to connect Sqlfire server with oracle using DBSynchronizer using default license

    is it possible to connect Sqlfire server with oracle using DBSynchronizer using default license
    Sql fire is my machine
    Oracle is another machine
    When i connect sqlfire with oracle using DBsynchronizer It shows the error message as Wan is not supported for default license
    When i connect Sqlfie(my system) with oracle( another system) using JDBC Rowloader .nothing is happening after some time it shows the error like"time out for pool connection to archive database.When i increase the time out also nothing is happening.
    what is the reason for above two errors(I stated in the pragraph.)
    is it beacuse of wan netwrok not supported by default evaluation license?
    could you please explain?

    I don't think this has anything to do with a VMware product.

  • Cannot connect to server with ttisqlcs, Failed to retrieve IP address of the system

    Please help me, I installed timesten server and client on different machines in LAN, but with the same user and group - ttadmin:ttgroup
    When I tried to connect to server with ttisqlcs -connStr "DSN=sampleCS"
    The output gave me error messages as below
    connect "DSN=sampleCS";
    S1000: Failed to retrieve IP address of the system. System error: -2
    The command failed.
    Done.
    The related part in sys.ttconnect.ini is set as below
    [192.168.0.206]
    Description=TimesTen Server
    Network_Address=192.168.0.206
    TCP_PORT=53397
    And the sys.odbc.ini
    [ODBC Data Sources]
    sampleCS=TimesTen 11.2.2 Client Driver
    [sampleCS]
    TTC_SERVER=192.168.0.206
    TTC_SERVER_DSN=nredb_ds
    What does it mean by "retrieve IP" ?
    Does it try to resolve IP by the hostname even when I already gave it the ip address?
    By the way I can ping 192.168.0.206 and telnet at port 53397 with no problem.
    Please help me, thanks~

    Try changing your entries as follows and see if it fixes it:
    sys.ttconnect.ini
    [myserver]
    Description=TimesTen Server
    Network_Address=192.168.0.206
    TCP_PORT=53397
    sys.odbc.ini
    [ODBC Data Sources]
    sampleCS=TimesTen 11.2.2 Client Driver
    [sampleCS]
    TTC_SERVER=myserver
    TTC_SERVER_DSN=nredb_ds

  • Why can't I get my mail, I get a message "connection to server failed" but I can get on all other web sites.  It worked fine until about a month ago.

    WHY CAN'T I GET MY MAIL, I GET A MESSAGE 'CONNECTION TO SERVER FAILED" BUT I CAN GET ON ALL OTHER WEB SITES.  IT WORKED FINE UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO.  I CANCELLED MY ACCOUNT, PUT MY INFO IN AGAIN AND STILL GET THE MESSAGE "CONNECTION TO SERVER FAILED"  HELP PLEASE!

    have you tried removing and readding the e-mail account? sometimes settings get corrupted or changed on the server end...something computers can sometimes handle better than the mail interface.

  • My mac OS X did not come with GarageBand, how do get it for free?

    My mac OS X did not come with GarageBand, how do get it for free?
    I don't want to pay for garageband because it should have come with my laptop but it didn't. I got it used so that might be the problem. Also I installed leopard on it. I'm not sure if that would affect it at all. Please help. Thanks.

    Okay, so you bought the machines used?
    What OS version was on it when you bought it?
    You bought Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and installed it?
    The original version is important because there were some OS versions that did not include iLife (incl. Garageband) - you had to get it separately. And, the retail Snow Leopard disk does not include it.
    So, if that is correct, then it doesn't have to have it installed. In any case, you can still buy a retail version of iLife with the full suite of apps from online retailers; either version 09 or 11 will work with your OS. Or you can just buy Garageband at the app store.

  • How to get login ID in SQL?

    Hi,
    How to get login Id in sql?
    such as "select * from table1 where userlogined=:{$loginid$}"?
    Best Regards,
    Jason Gao

    Hi,
    You would need to create a parameter in your report called userloginid select the paramter data type to match that of the datatype this value is stored as in the table.
    then the correct syntax would be select * from table1 where userloginid=:userloginid
    Hope this helps,

  • Connect to server with specified user account

    I want my mac connect to some network storage when it start up. So i created a automator app with "get specified servers" and "connect to servers".
    Some folders of a servers was set to allow guest to view content only. my mac automatically connect that folder as guest.
    So I would like to know how to set the automator to connect that folder with specified account, so that i can have right to right and write.
    Thanks.

    Using the Finder, mount the volume from the server.
    Using the Finder, create a Mac OS X Alias of the mounted volume.
    This will capture the account used to mount the volume.
    If you want this volume mounted when you login, put the
    alias in your System Preferences -> Accounts -> Startup Items
    If you want to open it via an Automator workflow, then just have
    Automator open the alias, and the alias will do the rest.

  • Iphone 5 Email client fails when connecting to server with certs signed by personal CA

    My mail resides on my own server with its own private CA that was used to sign the email server cert.
    I used sendmail and CA and certs were created with below commands:
    CA -newca
    openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -nodes -keyout sendmail_req.pem -out sendmail_req.pem
    openssl ca -out sendmail_cert.pem -infiles sendmail_req.pem
    Before I switched to iphone 5 I had Iphone 3s and all worked fine.
    I would get a notification: cannot verify server identity, but after clicking continue all would work fine.
    The client would connect on port 993 to receive email and on port 587 to send.
    Now on iphone 5 I get error: Cannot verify Server Identity with no prompt to accept the cert.
    Is there any work around for it?
    I tried to export the cert from I mac and import to iphone but still no luck.
    It looks like since iphone 4 the certs not issues by legal CA's don't work?
    thx

    I fixed that by getting certs from: https://www.startssl.com/?app=1.
    The certs are free and work fine.
    Since Iphone 4 apple does not accept unknown CA Authorities.

  • Safari can't connect to server with parental controls on

    I have one user with admin rights and one user plus guest with parental controls turned on. Recently when parental controls are turned on, I get 'safari can't connect to server' error. When I turn parental controls off again I can connect to the internet again. Why is this?

    Hi and welcome....
    Unfortunately, Parental Controls can only be enabled on a non admin account.
    See if there's a proxy set up for Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Advanced tab. Click "Change Settings" next to: Proxies.
    That will launch System Preferences / Network - Proxies.
    If there are any boxes checked under: Select a protocol to configure, deselect the box then click Ok.
    Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
    See if Safari can connect in a parental controlled user account.

  • Sync always fails to connect to server with no reason

    On two of my computers (both Macs running 10.6.7, one a MacBook Air and one an older iMac), Sync fails, saying "failed to connect to server"
    When I try again (and again, and again...) it results in the same message. It has synced successfully in the past, but has not in more than a week.
    I can't figure out how to get it to sync or even how to get more information about the issue.
    Any help, ideas or suggestions - including questions clarifying or detailing the issue - are welcome.
    Thank you!!

    If Oracle reports error about Net8 configuration, that means -
    you're trying to use "thick" JDBC driver, though usual way
    is to use "thin" driver instead. You have to make corrections
    in your connect url like:
    "jdbc:oracle:thin:@<host>:<port>:<sid>"
    ^^^^
    look here-----|
    Hope this will help
