Idiots guide to connecting xp pro to os 10.2 server?

Anyone have a link for an idiots guide to connecting an xp pro pc to a 10.2 server? I try to use xps network setup - \\servername\foldername hit enter then it asks for a user name and password. I enter our generic building wide user name & pw, it thinks for a while then just pops back up looking for user name & pw. Are there any things in xp that I have to turn on/off for this to work etc?

10.2 is now seriously dated and will be quite problematic because it's significantly different in many respects from 10.3 and 10.4, making it harder for those with experience with them (10.3 and 10.4) to effectively help.
If you can at all, I'd try to find a copy of 10.3 Server to purchase.
Otherwise... you need to setup "Password Server" in 10.2 Server (not running by default) to properly support Windows users. Anything else will be pain.
And then each Windows user will need to have their password type set to "Password Server" in the “User Password Type popup (see Workgroup Manager).
You'll want to use the Open Directory Assistant in /Applications/Utilities
But be sure to read the documentation.

  • How to connect macbook pro to panasonic tv with hdmi cable

    How to connect macbook pro to panasonic hd tv with hdmi cable

    Hi m,
    It depends which MPB you have and the inputs on the TV. The following assumes your TV has an HDMI input which will work with a computer.
    This is if your MBP is from April 2010 or newer:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4241
    First connect the adapter to the MBP and the HDMI cable from the adapter to the TV, then go to System Preferences > Sound > Output > select HDMI.
    Or if your MBP is older than that and you have a Mini DisplayPort, you can use something like this: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMID/
    If it's older than that, for video you need a DVI or mini DVI to HDMI or whatever input your TV has. For audio, you need a 3.5mm stereo mini plug to RCA or optical (Toslink), depending on what audio input your TV has.

  • How to connect MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50

    Any experience with cables for connecting MacBook Pro 17" Mountain Lion with HDMI port on TV, Panasonic TC-P55ST50 (or similar)?

    It depend upon the model (age) of you MBP.  If you have a Thunderbolt or minidisplay port, then you will need a minidisplay/HDMI adapter.
    eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/CBLMDPHDMI/
    Or you can get an all in one:

    If you have an older mac with a DVI port, you will need something like this:
    http://www.amazon.com/DVI-HDMI-Cable-6ft-Male-Male/dp/B0002CZHN6
    Note that audio is supported via HDMI for MBPs 2010 and later.  Earlier ones require tapping the audio output port.
    Ciao.

    However, I still don't get a view of anything on the desktop except for the standard Apple swirl.
    Can you drag windows to the other display?
    In the "Arrangement" tab of "Displays" system preference, you can drag the display pictures to match the actual arrangement, drag the menu bar to the other display, or enable mirroring.

  • Update: audio problems connecting macbook pro to insignia TV: resolved

    There have been posts from users who have expressed frustration that they cannot get audio when they attempt to connect their macbook pro to an Insignia TV.
    http://discussions.apple.com/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=10830387
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2192206
    Insignia customer service also attempts to state that the pre-April 2010 macbook pros cannot get audio output to the TV, because the units are designed to get the audio on the same HDMI and no alternative audio input is available on the TV.
    http://community.insigniaproducts.com/t5/Televisions/Connecting-MacBook-Pro-to-T V/td-p/5564
    For the Insignia models (from 2010 onwards and possible some from 2009 as well), there is a simple workaround that does not seem to be published elsewhere on the internet (as far as I can see):
    Use the HDMI port 1 only (audio does not work with port 2, port 3 or port 4) to connect your macbook and you will receive 1080p video signal.
    Use a mini stereo audio cable (example link below) and connect your macbook audio output to a designated green color coded audio port on the TV located right next to the VGA. You will receive full stereo audio.
    Example link for mini stereo audio cable:
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00116VJIO

    I recently acquired a new Insignia TV and had sound trouble.  I went to Best Buy to inquire about the cable in the link above and the sales manager had doubts.  He recommended a RCA cable with a male connection at both ends.  The RCA jack is on the bottom edge of the TV display next to the VGA connection.  The sound worked perfectly using the RCA cable from the headphone jack on the Mac.  I connected the video with a HDMI adapter from the monitor mirroring port.

  • I am trying to connect my macbook pro to a windows 7 server pc.

    I am trying to connect my macbook pro to a windows 7 server pc. I keep getting a connection failed message  saying "The server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally". Any ideas on how to resolve this? I cannot find the the volumes or know where to look for this volume

    Depends on your model TV.   Read your TV user manual.  The newer models have "how to hookup" instructions for computer & games.
    You can also do a forum search as well as a Google search.

  • Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

    Can't connect macbook pro to internet with airport extreme

    If you have ethernet still on your MBP plug it in by ethernet and tell me if that works.
    Tell me how the Airport is setup.. what broadband modem and router you have.
    What OS on the laptop? Yosemite I guess.. since it is the most troublesome.
    Did it work before whatever change was made? Has it worked in the past? When did it stop and what did you do that coincided with it stopping?
    Upgrade to Yosemite??

  • Can't Connect MacBook Pro and Mac Pro

    I have a MacBook Pro (pre 2008 - dual core) running OS X 10.6.7 and I regularly connect it to the Mac Pro at my work (also running OS X 10.6.7). I've had no problems until recently. Now, when I try to connect, I get the following message:
    "The server "name of my MacBook Pro" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Sometimes I click the icon to connect, the computer tries for a minute or so to connect, then it disappears from the shared list.
    This happens whether I try to connect from either computer to the other one.
    Ideas? Suggestions?
    This is frustrating.

    I'm still having problems with connecting my MacBook Pro with my Mac Pro. Both are running Snow Leopard (10.6.7). I have tried repairing permissions and toggling settings in my Sharing, but no luck. I'm still getting "The server "name of my MacBook Pro" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Having the exact same problem with connecting ML and Snow Leopard machines to a Windows 8.1 machine. Oddly enough, connecting and copying to/from works perfectly from a Mavericks machine, despite the problems reported about Mavericks regarding the exact opposite. An old thread, but did you find a solution?

  • Connect mac pro to jetdirect 600N

    connect mac pro to jetdirect 600N with the second ethernet port on the mac

    This is how I've connected my Mac Pro to my JetDirect 300.
    In the Network preference pane set Ethernet 2 up as shown (I didn't mess with anything under 'Advanced'.
    In the Sharing preference pane select Internet Sharing and select your "Share your connect from'' port and "To computers using" port. Then select the Internet Sharing check box. I think this only needs to be done if you want to share your printer with others computers over your network but I'm not 100% sure.
    Print a report from you JetDirect 600 to determine it's IP address (my JetDirect 300 does this by holding the Test button on top). Go to the Print & Scan preference pane and click on the '+' to add a printer, select IP, under Protocol select 'HP Jetdirect - Socket', and then type the IP address for your JetDirect 600. If you want give it a Name. It should automatically figure out the correct driver. Then click the Add button.

    Good luck.

  • HT201180 What type of Fire Wire cable to use to connect MacBook Pro 2009 to tape-based Sony TRV720 camcorder

    What type of Fire Wire cable to use to connect MacBook Pro 2009 to tape-based Sony TRV720 camcorder

    USB is the slowest. Firewire is faster. eSata is the fastest (and will be superceded by Thunderbolt).  The old Fire was 4 pin (Firewire 400 and is essentially obsolete), new is 9 pin, Firewire 800.  All of the will transmit data, simply a different speeds.
    For eSata connectivity, you MBP must have an express card slot (and the appropriate eSata connection card) and you external enclosure must have an eSata input.  eSata cables will only transmit data, therefor it will require power by Firewire or USB cables.
    Ciao.
