Help with a magically appearing Server

Hey all,
I don't know what else to title this post. I have searched everything I can think of for an answer and I just can't figure this one out!
I use this Mac in a business setting. We have a PC servers we connect to for different things.
OKAY...NOW!
Suddenly one of these servers started magically popping up asking for my username and password. Out of the blue. Not when I've manually connected or anything. It just pops up with a box to enter information. It got so annoying that I finally told it to remember my information and now on startup it will mount the server.
To make things worse sometimes this server will hang my system entirely. I try to trash it and it gives the spinning beach ball of death.
Has anyone run into this and do you have any suggestions for what might be causing my computer to think it needs to mount this server. I have looked every where for the reason.
Thanks!

You lost me at netinfo. I don't have a clue what that is!
Check BD's instruction below. After getting it open you want to navigate to /Mounts and see if there is anything listed there.
I am the only user so I'm guessing this is the Root account.
Doubtful. root is a system account not normally enabled for login or usage. Its more likeley you are the primary admin (GID 501) as opposed to root.
How do you "bind your machine" perhaps I did this and didn't know?
Well its not complex but i doubt you could do it by accident. But if your computer is administer by the IT staff at work then the network admin may have done it. If you have an IT department or Administrator you might want to check with them.

  • Need help with the Magic Trackpad

    I really need help with my Magic Trackpad. I just got it in the mail yesterday and when I was trying to set it up, it's not responding to the "one click." In the TrackPad Settings, I managed to turn off the Secondary Click and just have the Single Click checkbox turned on. How I managed that was double clicking on the bottom right side of the trackpad, but that's if I'm lucky enough for that even to respond. I have also tried to turn off my Mac and turning it back on with the trackpad on hoping it would just turn on the default settings. This is really starting to get frustrated and I know the Magic Trackpad is really cool on fun to use because I used it plenty of times I the Apple Store. Now I do know that all the motion gestures work, the only problem I'm having is the clicking mechanism.

    The clicking mechanism is located in the lower left or right corner of the trackpad, for single-click select, or secondary (menu) select, respectively. You can also configure single finger tap to select or double-finger tap for the alternate menu selection. Watch the trackpad preference videos by clicking on each setting text.
    Here are my System Preference settings for the Magic Trackpad.
    Point & Click
    Everything checked but three finger drag.
    Secondary click configured to click or tap with two fingers.
    Scroll & Zoom
    Everything checked
    More Gestures
    Everything checked but App Exposé

  • Need help with slideshow widget appearing online

    Hey out there a big thanks in advance for this.
    I have slideshow widgets set up for my artwork and graphics pages on my website and they were working fine before the last Muse update.  I then went into Muse to add more images to said slideshows and export and upload them just like normal.  Everything went fine and then I finished uploading and viewed my site and the widgets did not appear...I also experienced some margin formatting difficulties but that is probably unrelated.  I have not changed any permissions and have not changed anything besides adding in a few images only to one of the two slideshow widgets.  I have completely deleted and re-exported and re-uploaded everything as in all of the files twice and still nothing.  I really need some help with this one as soon as possible.  Again a huge thank you.  To see my site please go to www.joeldsiegel.com  I have been using stablehost and the ftp client is CPanel if that is of any other help.  Thanks again!!

    Sorry, should've been more clear on that. Yes, the images
    have been converted to movie clips, adn the linkage ID's are
    img1-img8. The reasoning behind that is that, at some point, new
    pictures will take the place of the current pictures.
    The attempt at randomness is actually a leftover from a
    previous incarnation of this project. Ideally I'd like the pictures
    to always play through in the same order, but I'd like it to start
    at a random place in that order so it's not always the same image
    coming up when the page first comes up. So, basically, I left it in
    for lack of a better idea.
    As for the setInterval() and runTimer() and "Void" question,
    that part is complete patchwork on my part. I'm not surprised that
    I missed something or included something extra. There isn't any
    code beyond what's attached in my previous post.
    I think, at the time, I was hoping that the "if(timePassed
    > nTimeout){" part was on the right track, but are you saying
    that the void cancels that part out?

  • Please help with my crystal reports server 2008 trial setup

    Firstly, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it. I find this forum is to big to find the information i need, in fact trying to find anything i need on this website is almost impossible. So far not impressed with SAP at all! we download a trial and when we have problems nobody can support us and we have to post in the forums for answers, which i find disgracefull to be honest. So this post is my last attempt of finding the answers to my problems or we are going to forget crystal reports server for good! I was also told that if i wanted help setting this up then i would have to pay, thats not how things usually go when we download a trial of any software!
    Anyway, rant over!!
    Right, we have windows server 2008 and have installed crystal reports server 2008. So far all i have managed to get working is the reports themselves which run and schedule fine. The dashboard and business views are so confusing i just dont get it at all, the manuals dont help either becuase they are rubbish basically. But my first problem is trying to get windows AD authentication working! easier said than done. I have spent 4 days trying to get it working but nothing is happening. this is what i have done so far
    Set up all the options in the CMC to enable AD authentication, mapped a few groups one of which i am a member of.
    Then i setup the krb5.ini file like below (removed my server name and domain name)
    [libdefaults]
        default_realm = DOMAIN.CO.UK
        dns_lookup_kdc = true
        dns_lookup_realm = true
        udp_preference_limit = 1
    [realms]
    DOMAIN.CO.UK = {
        kdc = DC.CO.UK
        default_domain = DOMAIN.CO.UK
    i also have that other file bscLogin which looks like this...
    com.businessobjects.security.jgss.initiate {
    com.sun.security.auth.module.Krb5LoginModule required;
    The server inteligence agent has been set to use the same username as i specified in the CMC which is also the service principal name and the administartion name
    i have set the web config file to use SecWINAD as default, i have also set it to give the option of enterprise, win ad etc in a drop down list
    i have gone round in circles for days following the instructions, and nothing is happening
    Also i dont see any usernames within the groups i have mapped , am i supposed to see any? am i supposed to add them manually?? if so, whats the point in that?
    So now everytime i try to log in i get this error message
    Account Information Not Recognized: Active Directory Authentication failed to log you on. Please contact your system administrator to make sure you are a member of a valid mapped group and try again. If you are not a member of the default domain, enter your user name as UserName@DNS_DomainName, and then try again. (FWM 00006)
    There is also another error message i get, which isnt coming up right now but it says somthing along the lines of could not authenticate at this time (FWM 00005)
    i fail to see what im doing wrong. I shoudl also point out that the username i am using for everything is our own network admin password!
    any ideas on things to check before we give up with this all together?

    Hi Roberto,
    With the changes when SAP took over BusinessObjects the support packaging also changed. It's the way it is now but we are moving to and giving as much options as we can. SAP works on the Self Serve practice. the info is available but you have to find it, which is another thing we are working on to improve for BOE/CRS.
    Best place to start is in the CMS link off the start menu, You'll find the Admin Guide and Setup/Configuration Guides. You can also find all of the latest info and updates to those guides from help.sap.com then click on the SAP BusinessObjects tab along the top and then on the left click on All Products and then filter on your version.
    Once the Firewalls and Domains and your CRS Server is added to the Trusted Domains and ports opened to allow CRS to talk to the DNS Server CRS will begin to load all of the users into it's User Mappings. You still have to add each user or Group of Users but they will be available. Documents does describe how to....
    Once you have the Admin Guide search on Security and it explains in details how to set up and which ports need to be opened etc.
    Thank you

  • Help with Upload file to Server Examples

    I have been working with the examples for how to upload a file to the server. Though i got the example to work. there is one more thing i need to do. i need to allow the user to be able to select multiple files.  In the example when you click on Upload, it opens a MS window to allow you to select a file. This example does not allow you to select more then one file though. I found another example for selecting multiple files but this one differs very much in that the person who make it "Ryan Favro" created a whole new GUI window to select multiple files. those his example works great, i dont want a special window to select files, i want the MS window to do it.
    Is there a way to make the original example that uses the MS window to allow the user to select multiple files ?
    I have attached the example that uses the MS window.

    Can someone please help me with a problem I am having setting up a WWW server?
    I installed a wireless network in my home last week. I’ve spent days trying to configure the network so that I can run a WWW server on port 80. Right now I have it configured as two separate networks so I can access the WWW server on an additional roadrunner IP on PC1 that is the reason for the hub.
    PC1 wired to EFAH05W 5 port hub ---> Linksys LNE100TX network adapter
    PC2 wired to WRT54G ---> Linksys LNE100TX network adapter
    PC3 wired to WAP54G ---> Linksys LNE100TX network adapter
    Mac note book wireless WAP54G ---> MacAirport
    Motorola SB 5100 Surfboard Modem ---> Linksys EFAH05W 5 port hub ---> Linksys WRT54G V 6.0 ---> Linksys WAP54G v3.01
    I want to cancel the extra IP and remove the hub and still access the www server from outside my network! I want the WWW server to run on PC3 which is hard wired to the WAP54G.  I have all of the ports forwarded correctly and no firewalls! I can access all three computers on the private network with no problem and they all can access the internet but… When I go to the PC1 with the road runner IP I can’t I can’t access the WWW server running on PC3.
    I have the WAP54G set as a client and the IP addresses begin at 192.168.1.100 and run through 192.168.1.105 wireless is on channel 6 and security is 128bit wep.  
    While I am here I might as well address another issue I have.  I up-graded the firmware on the WRT54G V 6.0 to v1.02.0 and now I cant get the WAP54G to work in repeater mode which seems to have been fixed by going back to v1.01.0 firmware  but I cant find v1.01.0 anywhere does anyone know where I can find it?
    I know I should have backed up the firmware but… I didn’t  !
    Thanks

    Sorry, but the way you describe your network setup is hard to understand. It would be easier if you started from the internet connection and said how everything is wired/connected from there.
    "PC1 wired to EFAH05W 5 port hub ---> Linksys LNE100TX network adapter"
    I suppose that means your PC1 has a LNX100TX which is wired to the EFA, etc... Because later you only have a "--->" and it does not say anymore if it is wired or wireless...
    I guess the WAP is in repeater mode/WDS thus the WAP is connected wireless to the WRT and bridges to PC3.
    It also seems to me as if you are running two DHCP servers: one on the WAP and one on the WRT. This is a bad idea as well. In a LAN you should run only a single DHCP server.
    You also don't clear say how you are trying to access the web server. I suppose you enter your public IP address into your browser on a PC behind the WRT. You don't say exactly what is not working. You don't write exactly what error messages you get. If you enter the public IP address of the WRT router into your browser on a computer inside your LAN you will only get the web configuration page of the router. You cannot connect to a server port which is forwarded on the router. You must attempt the access from outside, i.e. the internet. Use an anonymizer service or a html validator for a quick glimpse what you can access from the internet.
    Old firmware: look on ftp://ftp.linksys.com/ for old firmware version. The U.S. versions are in the directory /pub/network You must keep in mind that the v6 is compatible with the v5. The directory is a little bit a mess. It is tricky to find the files which are relevant. I found the following two.
    ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/WRT54Gv5_v1010_000.bin
    ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pub/network/wrt54gv5_v6_fw_1.00.9_US_code.zip

  • Help with email delivery from server to client

    I would appreciate some help / insite into forwarding email from my home server to my Arch client.
    Initially I setup Getmail on the Arch client, can download POP3 email to my home directory, and then read it using Kmail via the Maildir format.
    This works great and was easy to implement. However, I wanted to get a little more 'advanced' so getmail was setup on the server and can download email no problem.  But what I have not been able to figure out yet is how to forward it to my home directory on the Arch client.
    I have googled and read the wiki and it seems like a MDA is needed to do this.  Is this correct?
    Or, can I direct Kmail to look at some directory on the server (/var/spool/mail??) and grab the mail from there?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    JTD

    Endperform wrote:Are you looking to keep your email on the server at all times?  If so, I suggest looking into setting up IMAP on your home server which will do what you need.
    Endperform:  yes that is the plan.  Do still keep getmail to fetch the pop3 email from my ISP and the setup IMAP so 'forward' onto the Arch client?
    Thanks for the reply.
    pyther wrote:I'd have to second what endperform said, if you want to keep you mail on your server at all times, just check out IMAP. Also you can organize your mail in folders with imap
    pyther: Thanks for confirming what I've googled.

  • Collage Students need help with Java project(Email Server) whats analysis?

    Hi im studying in collage at the moment and i have just started learning java this semester, the thing is my teacher just told us to do an project in java , since we just started the course and i dont have any prior knowledge about java i was wondering if some one could help me with the project.
    i choose Email Sevice as my project and we have to submit an analysis and design document , but how the hell am i suppose to know what analysis is ? i just know we use ER diagrams & DFD's in the design phase but i dont know what analysis means ?
    could some one tell me what analysis on an email service might be? and what analysis on a subject means? is it the codeing involved or some thing coz the teacher told us not to do any codeing yet so im completly stumped,
    oh and btw we are a group of 3 students who are asking u the help here coz all of us in our class are stupmed ?

    IN case any one is interested this is the analysis i wrote
    ANALYSIS
    Analysis means figuring out what the problem is, maybe what kinds of solutions might be appropriate
    1.     Introduction:-
    The very definition of analysis is an investigation of the component parts of a whole and their relations in making up the whole. The Analysis done here is for an emailing service called Flashmail, the emailing service is used to send out mails to users registered with our service, these users and there log activities will be stored in some where, the most desirable option at this time is a Database, but this can change as the scope of the project changes.
    2.     Customer Analysis:-
    We are targeting only 30 registered users at the moment but this is subject to change as the scale changes of the project .Each user is going to be entitled to 1MB of storage space at this time since we lack the desired infrastructure to maintain anything higher than 1MB but the end vision of the project is to sustain 1000 MB of storage space while maintaining a optimal bandwidth allocation to each user so as to ensure a high speed of activity and enjoyment for the Customer.
    The Service will empower the user to be able to send, read, reply, and forward emails to there specified locations. Since we are working on a limited budget we can�t not at this time enable the sending of attachments to emails, but that path is also left open by modularity of java language, so we can add that feature when necessary.
    3.     Processor Load Analysis:-
    The number of messages per unit time processing power will be determined on hand with various algorithms, since it is best not to waste processor power with liberally distributing messages per unit time. Hence the number of messages will vary with in proportion to the number of registered users online at any given time.
    4.     Database Decision Analysis:-
    The High level Requirements of the service will have to be decided upon, the details of which can be done when we are implementing the project itself. An example of high level requirements are database management, we have chosen not to opt for flat files because of a number of reasons, first off a flat files are data files that contain records with no structured relationships additional knowledge is required to interpret these files such as the file format properties. The disadvantages associated with flat files are that they are not fast, they can only be read from top to bottom, and usually they have to be read all the way through. Though there is are advantages of Flat files they are that it takes up less space than a structured file. However, it requires the application to have knowledge of how the data is organized within the file.
    Good databases have key advantage over flat files concurrency. When you just read stuff from file it�s easy, but tries to synchronize multiple updates or writes into flat file from scripts that run in different process spaces.
    Whereas a flat file is a relatively simple database system in which each database is contained in a single table. In contrast, relational database systems can use multiple tables to store information, and each table can have a different record format.
    5.     Networking Analysis:-
    Virtually every email sent today is sent using two popular protocols known as SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions).
    1.     SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
    The SMTP protocol is the standard used by mail servers for sending and receiving email. In order to send email we will first establish a network connection to our SMTP server. Once you have finished sending your email message it is necessary that you disconnect from the SMTP server
    2.     MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
    The MIME protocol is the standard used when composing email messages.

  • Help with connecting a AFP server to OD Master with SSO

    I am helping to set up a new OD in 10.6 server. Added users to OD and promoted to OD Master. DNS Realm has been set on OD server and hostname and IP address are resolving correctly. Kerberos is running as it should be after OD promotion.
    Also in the mix is another server hosting the filesharing. The Directory has been bound to the OD master on the mainserver. I have entered a machine record in the DNS record of the mainserver.
    Everything is working correctly except for the SSO capabilities when using Kerberos. Users are able to login using network accounts and they can also still access the share points but they are being prompted for their passwords again.
    I have checked the ticket viewer on the client end after signing in and they users are being granted a kerberos ticket.
    I have yet to set the AFP service access to Kerberos effectively kerberizing the AFP service. Does the AFP service need to be stopped and started for this to take effect? Or does the server need a reboot. This is hard to do during the day used all day long. Is there a way to kerberize the service while it is still running.
    Is there anything that I need to try on the client end. Should I force the users to reste their passwords at the next login resetting the global password.
    Some users are in a seperate local WG on the Fileshare will this change affect those users that are only contained within that local directory.
    Thanks for any advice.

    RDS > Overview
    CAL Server Roles:
    RD Web Access - not currently being used or configured
    RD Licensing
    RD Conneciton Broker
    2 App Server Roles:
    RD Session Host
    RDS > Collections
    At first we had one Collection with both App Servers, and didn't realize that it would try to load balance between the two.  We created 2 Collections, one App Server in each Collection and that worked great.
    We set the Colleciton Depoloyment Properties > RD Licensing > Per User with the CAL Server as sthe RD Licensing Server
    RSD > Collections  > OurCollectionName > Properties >
    General
    User Groups: Add the AD User group that can RDP to the servers
    Everything else we set as default.  (unless you use it as a farm, and you want specific load balencing)
    Host Servers > Add RD Session Host Servers > add the servers you want folks to be able to remote into.  You have to add them to the RDS > Collections > Host Servers first...
    I may have missed some steps in this, but just ask and I'll let you know.
    Thanks!

  • Help with sub movieclips appear/disappear

    Hey folks, looking for some early feedback. So in a large movieclip that I drag, I have sub movieclips. Due to them being large they cause the drag/flick/scroll get clunky at times. So I thought about dynamically loading them depending on where the main movieclip is based on a Y state. So this seems to work BUT before I go down this long road, there has to be a better way do this. I've bolded the way I'm planning to go about it.
    function mouseDownHandler(event: MouseEvent): void {
      TweenLite.killTweensOf(main);
      y1 = y2 = main.y;
      yOffset = this.mouseY - main.y;
      yOverlap = Math.max(0, main.height - bounds.height);
      t1 = t2 = getTimer();
      main.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
      main.stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
    function mouseMoveHandler(event: MouseEvent): void {
      var y: Number = this.mouseY - yOffset;
      //if main's position exceeds the bounds, make it drag only half as far with each mouse movement (like iPhone/iPad behavior)
      if (y > bounds.top) {
      main.y = (y + bounds.top) * 0.5;
      } else if (y < bounds.top - yOverlap) {
      main.y = (y + bounds.top - yOverlap) * 0.5;
      } else {
      main.y = y;
      blitMask.update();
      var t: uint = getTimer();
      //if the frame rate is too high, we won't be able to track the velocity as well, so only update the values 20 times per second
      if (t - t2 > 50) {
      y2 = y1;
      t2 = t1;
      y1 = main.y;
      t1 = t;
      event.updateAfterEvent();
      if (main.y < 30) {
      main.OFbandTWO.visible = true;
      } else if (main.y < 20) {
      main.OFbandTWO.visible = true;
      main.OFbandTHREE.visible = true;
      } else if (main.y < 0) {
      main.OFbandTWO.visible = true;
      main.OFbandTHREE.visible = true;
      main.OFbandFOUR.visible = true;
      } else {
      main.OFbandTWO.visible = false;
      main.OFbandTHREE.visible = false;
      main.OFbandFOUR.visible = false;
    function mouseUpHandler(event: MouseEvent): void {
      blitMask.bitmapMode = true;
      main.stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, mouseUpHandler);
      main.stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);
      var time: Number = (getTimer() - t2) / 1000;
      var yVelocity: Number = (main.y - y2) / time;
      ThrowPropsPlugin.to(main, {
      throwProps: {
      y: {
      velocity: yVelocity,
      max: bounds.top,
      min: bounds.top - yOverlap,
      resistance: 50
      onUpdate: blitMask.update,
      ease: Strong.easeOut
      }, 2, 0.3, 0.5);
      blitMask.bitmapMode = false;

    also if I want to have the item only appear when it's on the stage and be not visible when off it, I figured i'd use a set of y coordinates that when it's between them, change vis to true, when not, change vis to false. But the logic is escaping me. So if I want band "two" only visible when on the stage, would this work?
      if (main.y < 30 || main.y > -400) {
      main.OFbandTWO.visible = true;

  • Need help with certain bit of server code

    i am making a chat messenger and are having trouble with this part, i have created outputstreams as a hashtable, i hope thats correct.. the problem is it wont call up the serverThread.. is there and easier way using static variables so it doesnt have to pass the parameters? any ideas..
          // Create a DataOutputStream for writing data to the
          // other side
          DataOutputStream dout = new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
          // Save this stream so we don't need to make it again
         // Hashtable outputstreams = new Hashtable();
          outputStreams.put(s, dout);
          // Create a new thread for this connection, and then forget
          // about it
          new ServerThread(this, s);
       static void ServerThread(Server server,Socket socket) {

  • Need help with an unknown "PC server" in my Finders sidebar.

    Hi. I have an UFO shaped AE that have worked OK for years.
    Today an unknown PC server called "amilopro" showed up in the Finders sidebar under the shared label. When I do a "get info" on it it says it is a PC server and nothing else.(I can't connect to it only get connection failed.)
    I don't own a PC and I have never heard or used the name "amilopro". I have a closed private network and have never seen anything but my other MacMini under the shared label in the sidebar.
    What's going on? Is someone at my network?I thought it was only my machines on my local network that should show up here.
    Have anybody else got unknown computers under "Shared" in the sidebar or has any idea why this is happening?

    Sorry, I posted in the wrong group. I have an Airport Extreme an not express. I cant find out how to delete the post. Bare with me. I am going to the right group now.
