Disable Network Browser

Is there a way to turn off the network browser in snow leopard? When the macs click in network menu from Finder menu. All of the computers show up in the Finder. I want to be able to limit what this window shows or disable it entirely.

Force network browser to default to AFP rather than SMB?

Hi,
I'm having an intermittent problem with the network browser. When I open it, I see a list of all the computers on my network (Mac and PC). But sometimes when I connect to other macs on the network, the protocol defaults to SMB.
What I want to happen is this:
- When I connect to a PC, I want to use Samba
- When I connect to another Mac, I want to use AFP
The network browser just shows a list of aliases to all the computers on the network and presumably picks the appropriate protocol itself when you try to connect to one of them. The trouble is, sometimes I'll be trying to connect to another Mac and it will ask me to authenticate for SMB. At first I thought the problem was confined only to my mac, but some of the others on the network are experiencing the same thing.
So really, I want the Network browser to connect using AFP by default and if a particular computer doesn't use AFP, then use Samba instead. Right now, I am connecting manually using command K in Finder and typing in the IP address - which is a bit of a pain.
Any help you guys could offer would be very much appreciated
All the best
Iain

Except occasionally when the status of computers on the network change and the browser hasn't updated, you usually can expect a reliable pattern for how to connect to other computers.
The Network browser in a Finder window will group computers according to Windows workgroups, Appletalk zones and AFP Bonjour. If all AppleTalk advertisements are in the default zone, they get grouped with Bonjour AFP advertisements in the "My Network" category. Selecting a computer in "My Network" should always result in an AFP-over-TCP/IP connection (from Tiger).
Alternately, to force the issue, you can use the "Go to server..." command (CMD-K) and enter the address of the computer. If you prefix the address with "smb://" it will use SMB, if you prefix it with "afp://" it will use AFP. With no prefix, it will use AFP (it will not fail-over to SMB or any other protocol).
This is all explained in Finder help and in various documents on Apple's support site.

GPO For Disable Network Discovery

Hi s
I have DC Windows Server 2008 R2 and clients with Windows 7, 8 and 8.1
I want disable users Access to computers from Network Discovery.
I apply GPO to remove Icon Network from Navigation Pane and it works perfect, but when users access to computer on network from RUN they see Network on Address bar. For example user access to Server from RUN
\\Server\ if user do Click on Network on address bar see all computers on network.
My Question is, How to prevent users see computers on network, how disable network discovery completely?
Thanks.

Hi,
>>How to prevent users see computers on network, how disable network discovery completely?
We can try the following solution to see if it helps.
In a new or existing GPO:
1. On Computer configuration, choose Policies, choose Security Settings, choose Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.
2. On Windows Firewall with Advance Settings, choose Inbound Rules, right click and choose New Rule
3. On Rule Type, select Predefined and choose Network Discovery, choose Next
4. Choose only the following rules:
a. Network Discovery (LLMNR-UDP-In)
b. Network Discovery (NP-Name-In)
c. Network Discovery (Pub-WSD-In)
d. Network Discovery (SSDP-In)
5. On Action choose Block the connection
6. Press Finish
7. On Inbound Rules, right click and choose New Rule, select Next
8. Choose only the following Rule:
a. Network Discovery (NB-Datagram-In)
9. On Action choose Allow the connection
10. Press Finish
11. On Windows Firewall with Advance Settings, choose Outbound Rules, right click and choose New Rule
12. On Rule Type, select Predefined and choose Network Discovery, choose Next
13. Choose only the following rules:
a. Network Discovery (LLMNR-UDP Out)
b. Network Discovery (NB-Name Out)
c. Network Discovery (Pub-WSD Out)
d. Network Discovery (SSDP Out)
14. On Action choose Block the connection
15. Press Finish
16. On Outbound Rules, right click and choose New Rule, select Next
17. Choose only the following Rule:

"NI Network Browser Error!" When Using 'DataSocket Select URL'

We have two LV 7.1.1-built executables running on two different computers that are networked together. Each executable starts the DataSocket Server on their own computer and then attempts to read from the other computer's DataSocket Server. Everthing works well if both computers are running XP SP2 or SP3.
The problem occurs when one of the OS's is Windows 2000 SP3. The executable on the XP computer can see the DataSocket items in the 'DataSocket Select URL' window on the Windows 2000 computer. However, on the Windows 2000 computer, if you open the 'DataSocket Select URL' window, and try to browse the DataSocket items on the XP computer, one of the following dialogs appears:
NI Network Browser Error!
Cannot enumerate items in this hierarchy
Cannot open a network enumeration
0x000004b8
An extended error has ocurred.
OR
NI Network Browser Error!
Cannot enumerate items in this heirarchy
Cannot open a network enumeration
0x00000035
The volume path was not found
This is usually followed by a DataSocket Read error of 214701483 (this looks like a COM object error, but for once, Google didn't have anything to say about it).
There was a similar post to this one in which Manuel Wielander suggests setting the 'Authentication Level' to 'Connect' and the 'Impersonation Level' to 'Identify'. He also suggested adding 'ole.AuthnLevel=1' to the executable's ini file. None of these suggestions work. I have also added every exception imaginable to the Windows XP firewall with no luck.
Anyone dare to step into the networking abyss with me on this one? Much thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Hello Archimedes,
This problem is a bit difficult to track down. I have Win 2k SP4 and WinXP Pro computers and am unable to reproduce the issue at the moment. However, I have found information that this issue has occurred in the past. In some instances it appears that changing the DataSocket Select URL.vi's Preferred Execution System to something other than "user interface" (eg. "Same as caller" or "standard") from VI Properties>>Execution resolves the problem. However, this is not a guaranteed workaround. R&D is aware of the problem and is working to fix it. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Best Regards,

Is there a way to disable the Facetime camera and use an external USB webcam for browser based webchat?

Is it possible to disable the Facetime camera and use an external webcam as a default? So that when you access browser based applications that require a webcam it doesnt default to the Facetime camera but uses the USB webcam instead?
Cheers.

(1) You don't need to "disable" anything to select among cameras connected to your Mac.
For all cameras you access via browser based applications (cameras connect via Flash browser plugins), control-click on an open video window in your browser page and adjust the camera settings to select between a connected USB and Firewire video camera. Specific instructions are here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html
If you don't see a choices of cameras in the Flash settings, your Mac is only recognizing one camera. Verify that your external cam is Mac-compatible and properly connected.
Your choice is stored in preferences so the same camera will activate on the next browser page until you change it.
(2) BTW, a current (Feb 2013) discussion of how to select among connected Mac cameras for a few more apps is available here: http://discussions.apple.com/message/21158673#21158673

Trying to connect using Network Browser, AppleTalk

I am trying to connect to another computer in my office. I go to the Apple Menu, Network Browser, AppleTalk, click AppleTalk and usually the name of the other computer that I want access to appears in the list, the last two days the other computer name does not appears in the AppleTalk list? Do you have any helpful ideas to how I can access my other computer?
Message was edited by: Wet irish
Sorry for the two posts!

If the other computer and your computer do not BOTH have AppleTalk ON, and assigned to the same medium (typically Ethernet) you will not be able to connect.
If either computer is losing its PRAM backup battery, a power fluctuation can corrupt the parameters, including AppleTalk settings.
If either computer is upgraded to 10.4 or later, AppleTalk File Sharing was removed at that point, so you will have to connect using IP. You can click on the big button in the Chooser, "Server IP Address", and enter the other computer's IP address. \[The other computer is acting as a Server in this case.]

Hi I am using an iphone 4 and its was working fine. Presently its giving browsing error. Whenever I am trying to browse internet by using safari or any other browser it retruns with an error message "server not responding" Even the same thing is happening with youtube also. The worst part is am able to check my mails, able to chat and so on... only thing not able to browse through the browser. I have tried restore option also. This is happening with both Wlan and Data con. too
Please help...

I do not really know much about this kind of problem, but i may be your internet connection.
If you are on your own #G network then:
Go to Settings > then enable "Airplane Mode". Count to 10 and then disable it.
Then wait patiently until you get a good connection and then try again.
If you are on a nearby Wi-Fi connection then:
Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then disable then enable after counting to 10. Make sure that you are connected and then try again.
If all else fails, then you need to contact your provider for assistance.

Network browser crashing...

I just got a new Macbook for my girlfriend, who is trying to use it to connect to a Windows network at work. Following the instructions here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1164.html
However, every time she opens the network browser from the finder, it freezes. She says that the mouse will still move, but everything else locks up and she has to restart the computer. She's left it for more than 5 minutes and it hasn't connected, found computers, or un-frozen itself.
She's at a small office, so the network that she's trying to connect to is not large. If she boots the machine into Win XP, she can connect to the file servers and the networked printer without a problem.
Any ideas what's going on here or how I can try to help her troubleshoot the problem?

I'm having a similar problem. I upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4 this weekend and when I came into work today I could not connect to my office server thru Finder. I could see the server but when I double clicked on it I got the wheel of death and had to relaunch Finder. This is trying to connect to a Red Hat Linux server and again...it could on Friday using 10.3
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Performance issue in browsing SSAS cube using Excel for first time after cube refresh

Hello Group Members,
This is a continuation of my earlier blog question -
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a1e424a2-f102-4165-a597-f464cf03ebb5/cache-and-performance-issue-in-browsing-ssas-cube-using-excel-for-first-time?forum=sqlanalysisservices
As that thread is marked as answer, but my issue is not resolved, I am creating a new thread.
I am facing a cache and performance issue for the first time when I try to open a SSAS cube connection using Excel (using Data tab -> From Other Sources --> From Analysis Services) after daily cube refresh. In end users system (8 GB RAM but around
4GB available RAM), for the first time, it takes 10 minutes to open the cube. From next run onwards, its open up quickly within 10 secs.
We have daily ETL process running in high end servers. The configuration of dedicated SSAS cube server is 8 core, 64GB RAM. In total we have 4 cube DB - out of which for 3 is full cube refresh and 1 is incremental refresh. We have seen after daily cube
refresh, it takes 10 odd minutes to open the cube in end users system. From next time onwards, it opens up really fast with 10 secs. After cube refresh, in server systems (32 GB RAM, around 4GB available RAM), it takes 2 odd minutes to open the cube.
Is there, any way we could reduce the time taken for first attempt ?
As mentioned in my previous thread, we have already implemented a cube wraming cache. But, there is no improvement.
Currently, the cumulative size of the all 4 cube DB are more than 9 GB in Production and each cube DB having 4 individual cubes in average with highest cube DB size is 3.5 GB. Now, the question is how excel works with SSAS cube after
daily cube refresh?
Is it Excel creates a cache of the schema and data after each time cube is refreshed and in doing so it need to download the cube schema in Excel's memory? Now to download the the schema and data of each cube database from server to client, it will take
a significant time based on the bandwidth of the network and connection.
Is it anyway dependent to client system RAM ? Today the bigest cube DB size is 3.5 GB, tomorrow it will be 5-6 GB. Now, though client system RAM is 8 GB, the available or free RAM would be around 4 GB. So, what will happen then ?
Best Regards, Arka Mitra.

Could you run the following two DMV queries filling in the name of the cube you're connecting to. Then please post back the row count returned from each of them (by copying them into Excel and counting the rows).
I want to see if this is an issue I've run across before with thousands of dimension attributes and MDSCHEMA_CUBES performance.
select [HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME]
from $system.mdschema_hierarchies
where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
select [LEVEL_UNIQUE_NAME]
from $system.mdschema_levels
where CUBE_NAME = 'YourCubeName'
Also, what version of Analysis Services is it? If you connect Object Explorer in Management Studio to SSAS, what's the exact version number it says on the top server node?

Can In-Browser Editing be used on a site exported as html?

can In-Browser Editing be used on a site exported as html? (Local Intranet)
Thanks

Since In-Browser Editing is not able to connect to servers that are within local/private networks, the FTP host must be publicly available. Also, it will only work when published via "Upload to FTP Host..." which saves additional details needed for In-Browser Editing to function that "Export as HTML..." does not.

Can I permanently disable private browsing

We use covenant eyes to track all internet activity on our devices, but private browsing prevents this from being 100% accurate. We can see that private browsing has been used, but we don't know what was accessed. Can we permanently disable private browsing or lock with parental controls?
