G5 - 10.4.11 - Connection Failed Error - Have network access

A Mac user where I work had a crash this morning that is causing an odd issue.
All other Macs and PCs I've tested can connect to both the Windows and Mac shares.
The OS at the time of the crash was 10.4.10, the issue existed then and remained after applying 10.4.11.
The Mac in question can ping the server name and IP address of the servers it cannot connect to and has full internet access. I've reset the netinfo database, tried using the secondary ethernet port and replaced a host of preference (plist) files.
Any suggestions?
Symptoms:
1. The user can no longer mount AFP shares G5 XSERVE using the server name or IP address. When attempting to mount a share, they receive an error stating "Connection Failed. The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again."
2. The user can no longer mount SMB shares on a W2K3 server.
The error received is "The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "the share name" or IP address could not be read or written. (Error Code -36)"

Unfortunately, I didn't keep a list of the .plist files I deleted, but I remember deleting the finder one and any that had network in the name.
I ran the Applejack utility and it did fix a great number of permissions and I saw two pages of items with AFP in the path flash by my eyes almost Matrix like. There were no disk errors. After the reboot, still no joy. I did manage to find an afpLoad.crash.log and a mount_smbfs.crash.log file on the machine.

  • Connection Failed errors freezing iDVD when trying to do Magic DVD feature

    Whenever I try the Magic DVD feature lately (it used to work), iDVD freezes and I have to force quit. It repeatedly gives Connection Failed errors. But, strangely enough, if I simply make a new iDVD project (not through the Magic feature), it works just fine. I don't know of anything that I've done to cause this error. Tried messing with .plist files and don't want to do that again (seemed to cause bigger errors).

    Hi
    No not really any of them.
    I suggested this to find out where the trouble resides.
    • If the new account works. You solved an acute situation and the problem is most probably a
    pref file.
    => Delete the one in first account or even re-install iLife
    • If not - a more severe trouble shooting is of need

  • We are receiving a "Secure Connection Failed" error message when using Firefox Version 37.01. What is the remedy?

    We have multiple websites that do not launch now as a result of the recent upgrade from Firefox version 36.04 to version 37.01. We received "Secure Connection Failed" error messages which indicate that the connection was interrupted while the page was loading, and that the page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please explain why this is happening, and if a fix will be issued soon by Mozilla, as everything was operating normally prior to the most recent Firefox upgrade. Alternatively, please identify browser settings that can/should be changed in order for Firefox to access these basic Internet sites (that are completely accessible using other browsers such as IE and Google Chrome). Thank you.

  • I get a "Secure Connection Failed" error with google stating "certificate contains the same serial number"

    When I click on a link for a google search, I get the "Secure Connection Failed" error in Firefox. It states, "Please contact the server administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information: Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued by the certificate authority."
    I have followed the instructions here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Certificate%20contains%20the%20same%20serial%20number%20as%20another%20certificate
    and looked at this article:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1028103?esab=a&as=aaq
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, deleted the entire profiles folder, and reset Firefox. I see that the older (orphaned) article points to my router. However, I have a new router and have updated its software. There is no button to add an exception (as noted in the article), so I can't just bypass it. This problem does not occur with IE, so I have a hard time believing it is my router.
    How do I troubleshoot this issue? I really don't want to change browsers.

    Here is a screen shot of the error.

  • Secure Connection Failed (Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)

    Hello
    I'm having troulbes accessing HP iLO with FF 36.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, getting the following error message:
    ====================================
    Secure Connection Failed
    An error occurred during a connection to 172.25.X.X. Issuer certificate is invalid. (Error code: sec_error_ca_cert_invalid)
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
    ====================================
    It seems to work with other browser such as Chromium, so the problem seems to be FF 36.0. Unfortunately, I don't have an "Add exception" button in FF that would allow me to bypass this warning.
    I've already followed the following links:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/secure-connection-failed-error-message
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems
    But I didn't managed to get it work. Any idea how to get it fixed?

    I have a better answer, upgrade to version 37 via bug 1138332

  • Suppress "Connection Failed" Error Messages on Client?

    Hi there,
    I have a Leopard server which is Managing Preferences for users in groups. In my Login Preference for a group, I have it basically "auto mounting" shares, such as smb://leopard-server/accounting and smb://leopard-server/graphics.
    The works great so far. A user logs into their machine, managed prefs determines their group membership, and poof all the appropriate network drives show up on their desktop.
    Problem is - when a user is off the network (for instance, at home with their laptop), after they power up and login they are immediately assailed with error messages, one for each failed connection to a network drive: "Connection failed. The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time".
    Now it is understandable why Leopard is bringing up those error messages - it's trying it's best to connect to the network drive but the user isn't on the network.
    Question is: is there any way to suppress these error messages and let the users who are off-network boot to their desktop "quietly"?
    I know you can hold the Option key at login in order to turn off Managed Prefs altogether, but the problem with that is users tend to forget to turn Managed Prefs back on when they get back into the office.
    Any ideas?

    It's not just you, I am seeing this behaviour too.
    Where 10.4 clients would fail silently, 10.5 is throwing the "Connection Failed" error message as you described.
    I agree it is confusing to end users and would like a way to supress it, the only thing that springs to mind is manually mounting the share via a login hook that first checks network availability rather than using a WGM configured mount. Trouble is, to mount an afp share with the users credentials via a script is a whole new problem in itself.

  • "Connection failed" error with time capsule

    I can't access my time capsule. I get a "connection failed" error.  And yet, the WiFi still works.  I've tried resetting and unplugging and re-plugging.

    I've returned home after some time away, and it's back to the Time Capsule problem!
    The Time Capsule Status icon (the clock symbol in the menu bar) was grey - I went into Time Capsule Preferences, chose 'Select Disk' and selected 'Data' as the back-up location (the name of the Time Capsule folder). I then chose 'Backup Now' and the status icon turned black & began turning - with message 'Making Backup disk Available'. A couple of times, nothing happened beyond this - and I received an error message.
    However after restarting my laptop (note I have shut down and restarted a number of times anyway since end November) the 'Making backup disk available' message was quickly followed by 'Calculating Changes...'. Out of interest, Time Machine Prefernces says that Oldest Backup is "--" and Latest Backup is "--". After 5 minutes, the status changed to 'Calculating Changes... (1%)' and at this point I was able to open Time Machine, and move back to previous backups (most recent being 27 November). It went on to showthat it was backing up 24.5 GB, and began this process. Then the status icon switched to a black circle with warning triangle and Time Capsule Preferences now reads;
    Oldest Backup: 27 November 2009
    Latest Backup: Failed
    The error message (in the icon) is:
    Make sure your computer and the backup disk are on the same network, and that the backup disk is turned on. Then try again to back up.
    Latest successful backup: 27/11/2009 at 22:17

    halodev:
    I made a CF/Flex site based on the Flexstore sample app,
    using a database instead of XML as the data source; in case you
    want to see it:
    http://www.timos.com/dg/flex/DilemmaGames.html
    At first I had troubles similar to what you describe;
    initially, part of the problem was that my hosting company had not
    yet upgraded to CF 7.02. One other thing I had to correct: when you
    upload to your server, upload the entire ‘bin’ (or
    whatever your output folder is) minus the debug SWF.
    If it would help with other issues, contact me and I will be
    glad to make my project code available to you. Good luck.

    Remote desktop failure. Have bought the app, but connection failed. Have bought the disable adds, but still getting them. What do I write:
    in the username field, in the port field and in the password fiels and in the domain field and in the field where 3389 is. Have tried my computer username, my Computer password and the name of the network name (domain). Have also tried the network password.

    Are you referring to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs? It sounds to me like you're referring to a remote connect app you purchased for use on your iPhone to connect to a Windows system, and if so you should start by contacting the support resources for the app you purchased, and if you can't get help there try asking in the iPhone forum.
    Regards.
