Machines avail on Bonjour but not Local Network - when on same subnet?

I have a simple system running ARD 3.2 on a machine running OS X 10.5.2, controlling a small number of machines running 10.5.2 or 10.4.11, all on the same sub-net.
Two of the computers - both 20" Intel iMacs (2.0GHz CoreDuo) with 10.5.2 installed have an odd problem - most (but not all) of the time they show up in the ARD computers list as being available for Screen Sharing Only - and so things like copying files to the machine fail. Their entries have the 'light blue' icon next to them which appears to indicate this state.
When in this mode they initially fail to show up when I do a scan of the local network. They should - as they are running off the same Airport hub as the ARD controller. However, if I change the scan to look for Bonjour connected computers they show up. If I then go back to scanning the local network they show up there too. But still nothing more than the light blue icon and screen sharing only as an option.
I've checked the settings of both machines - both have ARD enabled in sharing, both have the firewall set to allow all incoming connections. Other machines connected to the same sub-net show up and can be used without problem. All the machines are running ARD client 3.2.1
Anyone got any ideas what might be going on?
Grateful for any advice / suggestions.

Almost same setting here, same troubles.
If I restart them via Screen Sharing via the Restart Button on the Login Window, they sometimes show up correctly. But this is way too annoying.

Connects to internet but not local network

My AX worked fine for the past year. While traveling I disconnected the AX and set the wireless mode in Airport Admin Utility to 'Wireless disabled' and then connected an iMac by ethernet wire for our housesitter. All worked well. On my return I plugged in the AX and reset the Wireless Mode to 'Create a Wireless Network (home router)'. All appeared to work well for the past week. Until today.... when I tried to print wirelessly to a printer connected to my server in the office outside our home. The MacBook Pro was unable to find the printer or the server. It was formerly able to this with no problem.
The MacBook Pro can connect to the internet by the AX but not to my local network.
When I choose 'connect to server' from the Go menu I'm unable to locate the server. I determined that if I enter the local address in the 'server address' window I am able to connect but remain unable to print. My former protocol was to choose the 'browse' button and choose from a list of possible computers (their are a number of Macs possibly on the network).
If I take the MacBook Pro across the driveway to the office and plug into my network the computer finds the server and the printer with no problem.
I've done a hard-reset twice - to no avail. And attempted a factory default re-set 3x but don't believe it worked since the green light didn't flash 4x as expected - it came on briefly and then turned amber while it re-started, but when I used Airport Set up Assistant all my former settings were there and the same password I had entered so I don't believe it reset to factory defaults.
Yow!
I'll really appreciate any assistance.

Windows XP hooks up to internet but NOT local network

I have an Airport Base Extreme with a local network that includes my machine and an old B&W G3 and my son's iBook G4. My other son has an IBM Thinkpad running Windows XP SP2. We've looked through the discussions and he's been able to wirelessly hook up to the internet but he doesn't show up on my local network. He's used the info from http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/1011.html to help him hook up but he still doesn't show up on my network and he is repeatedly disconnected from the internet. Any ideas?

I'm running the WEP, that's all. My husband just got a new Dell laptop (from work). He was able to hook up to the network without a problem but I can't see him on it either. I can see the Mac and iBook that are on the network but not the Windows machines. Also, when I click on the airport icon in the menu on my iMac, I only see my network. My husband's PC sees other networks that are in our neighborhood.

HT4628 Why does internet connection on my Time Capsule cut out (on main but not guest network)?

Hi - I just got a time capsule 802.11n to use with my Macbook (OSX 10.6.8).
My wireless connectivity on my main (but not guest) network cuts out EVERY FRICKEN DAY multiple times. The internet phone connection + guest network still work, so the internet connection is there -- something with the main network is going wrong.
When I reset the time capsule (remove plug and plug back in), it works fine again.
Can anyone recommend a solution so this connectivity problem stops? Never had any issues with my Netgear wireless router, so at the moment, I'm really disappointed in this Apple product. Hopefully there is a setting I can switch to fix this (or something else simple one of you smart people out there can recommend)
Thanks,
JLG

In any event, if your OS X version is 10.7.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Lion:
Lion: AirPort Utility 5.6.
If your OS X version is 10.5.x or 10.6.x, download and install AirPort Utility 5.5.3:
Leopard, Snow Leopard: AirPort Utility 5.5.3.
After you install the appropriate version of AirPort Utility, open it. The program will be located in your Utilities folder, which in turn is found in your Applications folder.
To open the Utilities folder, go to the Finder and select "Utilities" from the Go menu:
AirPort Utility 5.6 looks like this:
... but make sure you use the version of AirPort Utility you just downloaded.
Launch AirPort Utility and select your Time Capsule. Click Manual Setup, then the Guest Menu tab, then you can elect to disable the guest network, or to establish whatever security settings you want.
The window looks somewhat like this:
If your version of AirPort Utility does not look anything like that, you are probably not using the one you just downloaded. Find it and start over.
When you are finished configuring your Time Capsule, click Update and allow the Time Capsule to restart.

You cannot; it's intentionally disabled to guard against accidental file loss. If you press Option when pasting the files, they'll be moved instead of copied.

"No connectivity with the server" error for one document but not the other, in the same document library

We have a number of users all of a sudden getting "No connectivity with the server. The file 'xxx' can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted." errors trying to open MS Office docs (Word, Excel, etc.) in SharePoint with IE,
just by clicking the link and selecting the "Read Only" option. If they select the "Check Out and Edit" option, they can open the document no problem. One of my customers gets the error on one document but not the other, in
the same document library! The older document (a weekly report) was copied and renamed as per standard procedure. She can read the older document, but not the new one.
It is definitely a profile issue, as other people have logged onto the machines of the users with problems and do not get the error. We have also renamed people's c:\user profile folders and the corresponding Profilelist registry entry and the newly
created profile does not experience the error for these people. Renaming the profile back restores all their personal settings but the error reappears. When we copied the old profile's folder structure into the new profile, many of the user settings
were restored (but not all, like Dreamweaver settings) but the error did not appear. We think that the system folders files (like AppData) weren't totally copied over so we're going to run another test using xcopy. We are rebooting between
logons to make sure all files are unlocked.
The laptops and computers are mainly 32bit, Win7 Enterprise running IE9 and Office 2010 Professional Plus, but there's a few 64bit machines as well. The SharePoint farm has 1 WFE, 1 App Server running search and CA, and a shared database server running SQL
2005 SP4. SharePoint is 64bit MOSS 2007 with the latest CU.
We've checked the logs on the client as well as on the server and there aren't any helpful entries. We've also run Process Monitor, also with no helpful entries. We're planning to run something like Fiddler next.
It's not everyone, because there are many people are accessing the SharePoint system and the same files. It is also not a permission thing, as we've tested by giving the users elevated permissions with no changes. One person experiencing
the errors is a Site Collection Admin. That same person ran a test where I coped a simple Excel file into a Document Library which contained a problem file. They were able to open it Read Only no problems that day, but the next day, the same
file gave them an error. In their case, they usually get a "xxx is not checked out" error and only occasionally get the "No connectivity with the server" error.
We've tried lots of things including:
Deleting IE cache
Deleting SharePoint Drafts and webcache folder contents
Running IE without add-ons
Upgrading and Downgrading IE
Uninstalling and re-installing IE
Reinstalling our SSL certs
Repairing Office
Removing and then adding back in the Microsoft Office "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support" Office Tool
Deleting all HKLM and HKLU Office registry settings
Toggling IE Compatibility Settings
Toggling the IE Automatic Logon option
Toggling the location of checked out files
Adding the site in the trusted sites list
Adding the site to the WebClient\Parameters registry locations
Making sure the WebClient service is started
Rebooting the machine (lol :)
This is becoming a serious issue, not just because of the inconvenience for the users having to check out every document they want to read, but we have some files with macros that open up other documents to run which are now failing. There aren't
"check out" workarounds for some of those macros.
We're planning to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I'm throwing it out here first in case someone has run into this before, or may have some suggestions on what to try next. Thanks!
-Richard.
PS I think this needs to be in the "General" forum instead?

It took three days of dedicated troubleshooting, but I have found the cause of the errors, and a couple of fixes. It helped tremendously that my own machine was throwing the error. I have scheduled a couple of users to work with me to test the
various fixes, to see which one works best, so the story isn't over yet.
I had backed up my c:\users profile folder and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList registry key so I could restore my profile after I was done. I made a copy of the profile folder and was using that for awhile,
but then made another copy where I had deleted a lot of content out of it so that the copies would go faster. Since a newly created profile did not have errors, I was trying to copy back as much of the profile as possible to make it easier for our users
to get back to work. Instead of blowing away their profile and starting from scratch (which we know worked) I wanted to narrow down what was causing the error and just skip that from the restore. The concept was to keep as much as the users profile
in tact (application settings, etc.) not just restoring their desktop and My Documents folders.
When we first tested a few weeks ago, simply copying the folder contents didn't reproduce the error. I then tried xcopy, but got the "can't read file" error. Then I tried robocopy, and ran into the "junction" problem.
I went back to xcopy, and found that placing the excludes.txt file in the windows/system32 folder eliminated the error.
So the process went as follows:
Reboot and log into the machine as another user
Delete the profile and associated registry key
Reboot and log into the machine as the affected user, creating a new profile, and there is no error
Reboot and log in as the other user
xcopy the contents of the skinned-down backed-up profile to the newly created profile
Reboot and log in as the affected user, and the error occurs
Repeat the above, but add items in the excludes.txt file to see what, when eliminated, causes the error not to appear in the last step
I eventually found that skipping the c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\Microsoft\office\14.0 folder allowed the entire profile to be copied over without the error occurring. That was strange, because we've cleaned out the cache folders
before which didn't fix the issue.
So I went about it the opposite way, and tried to delete the 14.0 folder from the restored profile, and after reboot, the error still occurred.
What eventually worked was deleting the 14.0 folder and copying over a 14.0 folder from a newly created profile!
One way to do this was to:
Reboot and log in as another user
Rename the c:\users profile folder
Rename the appropriate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] registry key
Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
Reboot and log in as the other user
Copy the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder to the other user's desktop
Delete new profile folder, and rename the backup to be the production folder
Delete the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder and then paste the 14.0 copy from the desktop
Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
We've tried this on a couple machines and it works. I had to run Windows Explorer as Administrator to access the other profile's folders.
We've also successfully copied a 14.0 folder created by one profile on one affected computer over another profile's folder on another computer, eliminating the error, so we're trying that first, as that is fewer steps.
We may attempt to script this, but the self-help instructions are only 5 lines long:
Reboot and log into the affected computer with another account
Go to <link to location of 14.0 folder on network> and copy the 14.0 folder
Run Windows Explorer as Administrator
Go to c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\microsoft\office and delete the 14.0 folder, and paste the copied 14.0 folder (trying to overwrite it makes Win7 want to merge the folders)
Reboot and log into your normal account, and confirm the error is gone
I'll come back and report after we go into the field with this fix, but after the few tests, I am cautiously optimistic that this is it.

Graphics convert but not text even when ocr is disabled

graphics convert but not text even when ocr is disabled

Hmmm... I seem to have found the plist file that is doing it. I was looking at /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/Remote\ Desktop/ before... looks like /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ARDAgent.plist is the culprit.
This plist is a binary, so I had to use plutil to convert to xml in order to make it human readable. I wonder if I can just hack this file up a bit and re-deploy it to each machine. Or I wonder if it would re-build if I simply remove it from each client. I will need to test to find out, seeing as though the task servers are listed in it, probably not a good idea to remove it all the way.

1. Non volatile random access memory (NVRAM) is where the computer stores user's settings, like time and date, speaker volume, energy saver settings etc.
2. Reseting NVRAM has no impact on anything on your hard drive, or anything else on the computer.

Ical syncs with tungsten t2 but NOT with Tungsten E2 on same computer

iMac 1.25 Ghz
OS X 10.3.9
Hotsync Mgr 3.2.1
iSync 1.5
Palm Desktop 4.2.1d
Tungsten E2 - Palm OS Garnet v 5.4.7
Tungsten T2 - Palm OS 5.2.1
I have two Palms (one for me - one for wife). We also have two logins on the iMac.
Objective: Sync with iCal, Address Book (i.e. not Palm Desktop utilities)
My Palm (T2) has been installed for 2 years - syncing flawlessly
Her Palm (new E2 - installed tonight) will sync Contacts but not iCal. When I place test entries into either the Palm or her iCal, iSync sees the new data and claims it has transferred it but it doesn't show up in the destination device. Both directions fail.
It seems that the system is smart enough to connect the right Palm with the right set of iCal/Address Book whichever person is currently logged in and I have seen exactly the same problem, regardless of whether only one or both users is logged in (with Fast User switching).
It seems as if lots of people have observed iCal sync problems with Palms while the other apps sync fine but I haven't yet seen somebody with two Palms like me having different experiences.
Is there something particularly flaky about Tungsten E2 or is this an issue between two different versions of Palm OS?
TIA
Adrian

Assuming that the issue outlined below is not the problem, and that you have unique HotSync names, have you tried logging out, having her log in, and performing an initial synchronization in iSync? Procedures for that are outlined below.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25611
Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4, Palm HotSync: Fast User Switching - one Mac OS X user may sync at a time
One logged in user may sync a PDA via Palm HotSync at a time. This applies to iSync Palm Conduits, too.
When your computer is using Fast User Switching and other users are logged in, you can't sync your Palm OS-based device using Palm HotSync or iSync.
This can happen if another account has already used Palm HotSync or iSync to sync a Palm OS-based device. Have the other person log out of his account. Log out of your account, then log back in. You should be able to sync.
Before you perform the procedure outlined below, be sure that you are logged out and she is logged in, and that the drop-down preference pane which appears for her device in iSync when you press the Tungsten icon has legitimate calendar options selected.
To reset and perform an initial synchronization, launch iSync and open the Preferences… dialog. Press the Reset Sync History… button, then perform an initial synchronization. When asked if you want to Replace or Merge your data, choose Replace. This will overwrite the data on her handheld, and subsequent synchronizations should work properly, so long as you are not logged in in the background.
This issue has nothing to do with the different Palm OS releases embedded in your respective devices.

Remote machine available in list but wont connect

Im using ARD 3.3.2. I've opened and forwarded ports 5900/3283. My machine appears as available in the list but it will not connect to control or observe.
Any ideas mates?
Ta, Edwin.

Same issue here, just posted the same problem to this forum. Remote machine shows up in the list as available, I'm able to copy files via ARD but as soon as I try to control, it times out. When the Network people open ALL ports it works fine. They seem to think that ARD is selecting a random port for screen control and if you don't have that range of ports open --- no go ---. Bottom line we can't have a range of ports open.
I even connected wheil on site to our local network and checked the Fios router settings and 5900 and 3283 are open. ARD works fine for us.

Airport card 802.11b sees other networks but NOT my network!

Hi. Having a very strange tech issue today...
I have a 1ghz ti-book that no longer wants to connect or even SEE my home network after waking up from sleep. Up until today there has never been an issue. My home network is distributed via a Netgear 802.11b and g wireless router. Again, I have never ever had any issue whatsoever connecting to my network. WEP is enabled. There are also 6 other computers all connecting to the same network via wireless too. No problems.
The crazy thing is I know the card is still functioning properly because I can still see all the other available networks around in my area. Even when I place the ti-book RIGHT NEXT to the antenna on the netgear router, it refuses to acknowledge that it is there. Meanwhile, it is showing all of my neighbors networks just fine!
The only variable in this equation is that the hinge of the display is damaged, such that it won't stay open "by itself". The display normally has to be propped up against something. The machine works fine otherwise, no issues. The weak bezel breaking is an issue that many ti-book owners faced and it has been broken for a LONG time with no performance issues at all. The only thing I can think of is that maybe the wire to the antenna for the Airport card goes up the side of the display and somehow the wire is damaged or frayed. I don't know if this is how the ti-book was designed....does anyone know? Specifically, if the wire for the airport card runs along inside the case of the display on the 15 inch 1ghz ti-book?
If it does not...and it seems like it is not hardware damage to the cable because how else could I still be getting other networks but not my own...then I am stumped as to how to trick my machine into recognizing the network again. I have done the basic things such as booting into single user mode and rebuilding my index, logging in as root and other users to see if the preferences were corrupt, and even installing a bunch of wifi wardriving apps to force recognition of my network and still nothing!
Again the machine is right next to the access point, so what is causing it to no longer "see" it? I also updated the firmware in the router and checked configurations but no changes have been made and all the other machines work fine. Also it has NEVER done this before so I don't know how to troubleshoot it!
*What would cause an airport card to reject the signal that it is configured to connect to? How should I go about getting it to see the network again...without reconfiguring the network which would mean having to update all the other machines, etc.* I have macstumbler and istumble running and they see PLENTY of networks except for the closest one. It is so bizarre. It was working when I went to bed and now today, no network. I have rebooted numerous times, etc.
please help!! i need some ideas!!!
thanks!

a somewhat in depth search across the interwebs has lead me to the conclusion that this problem is also affecting Leopard users as well. (I am on old hardware and running the latest Tiger) To be honest, I can not remember if there was an Apple update right before this problem started to happen. However, it seems real enough and many users out there are having problems re-connecting to their home/work networks after waking from sleep.
just to clarify:
Using a ti-book with normal airport card installed (b not g)
Connected to a Netgear wireless router (configured to manage both b and g traffic)
WEP 64bit encryption key is being used for network
No problems whatsoever until a few days ago
what works:
unplugging the power to the Netgear router (cycling power)
what doesn't work:
waking from sleep
restarting
manually entering network name and password
using 3rd party apps to find network
resetting/deleting Network location preferences and creating new one
deleting AppleAirPort2.kext from /System/Library/Extensions/
using either Diagnostic or Assistant mode to reconnect from scratch
it should NOT be this difficult to solve a networking issue. what is going on here?
