Connection to server slowed from Airport connected iMacs.

Remote iMacs now have very slow connection to Installed accounting software on server. Originally ran fast and clean.
What can be done to reestablish a fast connection to my Mac server running Leopard?

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
It could very well be that the problems are related to having installed a system update, usually not because of the update itself, but rather as a result of not having installed it properly, or having ignored Apple’s "Important: Please read before installing" warnings, etc.
Some (but not all) of the problems caused by not having installed an update properly can be fixed by (properly) reinstalling it. If you suspect a particular update could have a bearing on this, proceed as follows.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall any updates that may not have been installed properly. In some cases, it may also be necessary or convenient to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with your computer:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

  • Can't connect to server domain from server

    Hi,
    Since 2 days ago, i stop being able to connect to server domain from its own browsers. I'll try to explai:
    I've my server up and running, you can check here: http://www.servidorlocal.com. I'm able to connect to this domain from all computers inside network and from my IOS devices over 3G.
    The problem is when i try to connect from the server itself (safari, chrome, etc) always give me an error telling that cannot find the host.
    Trying to connect over localhost or 127.0.0.1 it also works, but with the domain didn't work...
    I cant understand why.
    Hope someone here can help me solving this issue.
    Regards
    Mozack

    OK,
    I've solved the problem. If someone with the same problem, here what i do:
    1 - System > Preferences > Network
    2 - Choose from the list the network adapter that server uses, in my case is the LAN adapter.
    3 - Click Advanced
    4 - Re-configure the LAN connection (even with the same data).
    5 - OK, server running locally too.
    Thanks

  • Network disappears completely from Airport on iMAC, G4 Powerbook +iPhone 4

    Can anybody please help..!
    My network has disappeared completely from Airport on iMAC, G4 Powerbook + iPhone 4 and even after restarting the router several times the network does not reappear. It's been 2 days now and i need it to work from home urgently.
    thanks in advance !

    Hi Shane
    if it's missing from three devices, I imagine that you may need to connect to it via ethernet cable & see if the wireless id is set to be hidden, as well as checking the setup pages to see if wireless is actually operating correctly.
    Something like iStumbler or WiFi Scanner should help you determine that too.

  • Error message "unable to connect with server. Check wifi connection"

    I started having the error message "unable to connect with server. Check wifi connection" when I attempt to use search function within a certain apps and when I try to download certain magazine (eg. National geographic).  I didn't have this problem with I first started using iPad, and no problems with connectivity when using other apps.  Can anyone help?

    You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
    Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

    Make sure your time zone and time are correct. Have the iPad get the time automatically.

    "Unable to connect to server"  I have wifi connection but I'm getting this error when I try to purchase an app. Why? If anyone knows can you please help me thank you in advance. :-(

    Can you load a webpage in Safari with that wifi connection? If so then it's a problem with the iTunes Store app connection. If not then your wifi isn't fully functional and you need to troubleshoot that first.

  • My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    My Macbook Air does not pick up wifi from Airport but iMac, iPad and iPhone do. Help please.

    Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
    Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
    Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
    Is the TC new? If old how old?
    If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
    Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
    Use WPA2 Personal security only.
    Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
    Tell us how that goes.

  • Connect SQL Server 2012 from Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0

    Hi,
    I currently have a setup where ETL tool Ab Intio, running on a Linux server, connects to the SQL Server 2005 through a passthrough Wintel server with Windows Server 2003 OS using SQL server native client 9.0
    Now I have the requirement to upgrade the SQL server from 2005 to 2012.
    My question is, will it be possible to connect to SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0?
    As per the specs, I need native client 11.0+ to fully support SQL Server 2012, but then, as per specs, native client 11.0 doesnot run on Windows server 2003. OS upgradation is currently not on the cards.
    So will it be possible to the run the basic queries we use currently, if we can connect SQL server 2012 through Windows Server 2003 with native client 9.0/10.0, without updgrading the OS of the Wintel server?
    Thanking you in advance! 

    Hi Soumya,
    Yes, you can use the SQL Server Native Client shipped with SQL Server 2005 to connect to a SQL Server 2012 instance, and there is no need to upgrade the operating system.

  • SSIS Expression to Server Name from a Connection String

    Hi,
    I have an SSIS variable which contains a connection string as follows; -
    User::strD​YNconnecti​on {Data Source=myServer;Init​ial Catalog=myDatabase;Provider​=SQLNCLI10​.1;Integra​ted Security=XXXX} String
    I need to get the server name from the above variable using an SSIS expression so I can pass the server name to another function.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kieran.
    Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

    Hi Kieran,
    This works fine when the Data source comes first in the connection string (which it usualy does). but when it doesn't,
    e.g.
    Init​ial Catalog=myDatabase;Data Source=myServer;Provider​=SQLNCLI10​.1;Integra​ted Security=XXXX}
    you will get 'myDatabase' as an answer
    I would add 'Data source =' in the find string (and adjust for length of this search string to add sufficient offset)
    e.g.
    SUBSTRING(RIGHT(@[User::strDYNconnection],LEN(@[User::strDYNconnection]) - 11 - FINDSTRING(@[User::strDYNconnection],"Data Source=",1)),1,FINDSTRING((RIGHT(@[User::strDYNconnection],LEN(@[User::strDYNconnection]) - 11 - FINDSTRING(@[User::strDYNconnection],"Data
    Source=",1))),";",1) - 1)
    Even this is not foolproof, when the Data source is the last element in the string and there is no ending ;
    e.g.
    Init​ial Catalog=myDatabase;Provider​=SQLNCLI10​.1;Integra​ted Security=XXXX;Data Source=myServer}
    the formula needs to be extended further with a ( ? : ) operator around the last operator to see if the last ";" was found or not.

  • How far away can you connect to the internet from Airport Extreme (802.11n)

    How far can i take my Laptop away from Airport Extreme (802.11n) and still have internet connection

    According to:
    http://www.apple.com/au/airportexpress/
    They claim the Extreme has a 45m range:
    "Suppose you want to connect to the Internet with your PowerBook in an area that lies beyond the 45 metre range of your AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station"
    Will you be using all N devices? G?, B? or a combination?

  • Connect to Server App from other system

    I have a clean install of OSX 10.8.2 with Server from Appstore. So far all is fine when running the server.app thru Remote Desktop Software. However, when trying to connect to the server.app from another System ( i use OSX 10.8.2 on both machines, updated the software also) then the system refuses to login. The Admin name and password are fine, they also work if just connecting via finder or when using thru Remote Desktop.
    I am turning cracy because I have tried just about everything. I was reading about this problem existing under OSX Lion, but the fix recommended does not help at all.
    Can anyone help - please? I hope the guys at Apple start looking into this as well.
    Regards,
    Reinhard

    This did not solve my problem. I had tried this before, it seems so that the (remote) Server app has no right to connect at all.
    Just to let you know: I enabled Remote Apple Events, Remote Login and Remote Management on Server. And I run and addminister the server via Apple Remote Desktop.
    Also the "Allow remote administration using Server" on the server App is set.
    Still, nothing solves this problem.
