NAT PMP on Tiger server 10.4.11 and Back to my Mac

Hey All,
Here is my situation. Users from my internal network who are on Leopard OS are not able to use "Back to my Mac" feature to connect to their computers at home.
I am using XServe Tiger 10.4.11 as the gateway/router
Firewall is UP and running - Port 5900 is open though
NAT is enable
DHCP is up and running
DNS is running.
The error message i am getting from the client machine is
"Back to my Mac isn't working properly because it requires a router that supports NAT Port Mapping Protocol (NAT-PMP).."
I am very sure that it has to do something with my NAT, but i am not sure how or what to look for in there and what settings i should have as well.
Any help or points to the right direction will be great.
thanks
-eric

  • Will "Tiger Server - Xserve Install DVD" install on non-Xserve Mac ?

    Hi All...
    I had four G5 Xserves (now sold) but I still hold and own the Tiger Server DVD and Licences. I am buying an old Mac Mini that had Tiger originally installed, but has been upgraded to Leopard... my question is will my old DVD "Tiger Server - Xserve Install DVD" let me install on a mac OTHER THAN an Xserve... I am suspicious as the Licence starts off with "XSVR-...." which makes me think it may be a special install DVD configured for the Xserve only... ???
    Appreciate a confirmation either way..
    Thnx
    MOKA

    Thanks very much for your comments... It does not have any other comments on it other than Version 10.4.3 and Mac OS X Server Xserve Install DVD.
    I think you are likely correct and I will give it a try
    Thnx again !!

  • Tiger server, Snow Leopard Client and Illustrator CS4

    We have a strange problem happening with the one Snow Leopard client we have accessing our Tiger server. In certain directories (not in all) if the user opens an Illustrator CS4 file, makes changes and goes to save the file they get the message that the file is either locked or in use by another user (it is not). This does not happen with any other kind of file in that same directory. The server is connect to AD so the user accounts come from the AD but on this machine we have the same problem regardless of the user account used to mount the server volume. It also doesn't matter if I use a local account on the server to mount instead of AD. I have the same problem if I connect via SMB instead of AFP. Other machines (Leopard) can work on these files with no problems.
    A couple of other bits of information which might be useful. If the user opens the file, does a save as to the same name and same folder and replaces the original they can work on the file and save it with no problems. As soon as they close the file and reopen it they have the problem again. Also, if they run into the problem, close all programs on the computer and try to unmount the server volume they get the message that the volume is in use and cannot be ejected. I have checked and there are no invisible files being created in the directory where this file resides.
    What is strange is that the problem does not happen in all directories although when it happens it is repeatable in that directory. Happens every time. I have tried changing the name of the folder to something simple and it still happens.
    Any suggestions on where to go with this problem??

    No progress yet. Have tried a lot of things with preferences on the server. I have confirmed with another snow leopard machine that this is not related to the machine in any way. I have not yet had a chance to test it on another Tiger server but given the fact that you are seeing it as well I would say there is a problem with the two operating systems cooperating.
    As I said, I do have a temporary workaround. If you do a save as with the document, choose to overrite the original it works and then lets you continue to work on that file and save for that session. After you close the file and reopen the problem returns but at least for that session you are fine.

  • Can you setup both VPN server and Back to My Mac on Lion Server?

    I have been trying to figure out if this is possible for some time. Can you use both Back to My Mac and VPN server services at once on a OS X Server?
    So far here is what I have found:
    - According to http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629  Back to My Mac and VPN use the same UDP ports(500,4500)
    - I have been able to get my VPN service working by removing all access for Back to My Mac(in System Preferences->iCloud) as well as removing all "Mobile Me" access on our AirPort Extreme.
    The moment I try to add an account to access the network via Mobile Me(ie Back to My Mac) on the Airport Extreme, I am no longer able to make a VPN connection.
    Checking the Service VPN Logs, no log entry is shown for the failed connection.
    So, my questions are:
    1. Has anyone been able to get these two working on the same server/network?
    2. Is there any way to change the default ports used by the VPN server service on Lion Server?
    Thank you to anyone that can provide any suggestions.

    Just as FYI....I just started using iCloud and tried the "back to my mac" on a mac server that is my VPN server.
    Enabling "back to my Mac" prevents the VPN from being useable.
    Disable "back to my mac" and the VPN works again, as verified from both another MAC and an iPhone.

  • Is it faster to download files from a remote server or file sharing with Back To My Mac?

    I am trying to send somebody a 6GB file using Back To My Mac. I had them set up my Apple ID in iCloud in System Preferences on their Mac and check the box for Back to My Mac. Went into Sharing preferences to check the boxes for File Sharing and Screen Sharing.
    From my Mac I then went to that shared computer in the Finder, copied over my file but it's showing that it will take 27hrs to transfer.
    Is this normal? And if so would setting up a server for remote access be better for transferring such large files?
    Any other mind blowing ideas would be most welcome for remote large file tranfer.

    Download history usually will have the link back to the original source location. Assuming that still exists, it's worth a try. When you right-click (Ctrl+click) an item, the small context menu should let you copy the URL of the original source, which you then can paste into the address bar to fetch it again. If the original download required you to be logged in to the source site, you should log in again first to increase your odds of getting the download.

  • Tiger to Snow Leopard install and back up help

    Hi all. First off I am a complete noob when it comes to Mac.
    I recently purchased a new imac with Snow Leopard and have been enjoying learning it.
    Out of the blue I had an opportunity to buy a late 2006 Macbook at a great price so I went for it. Its a Intel based Mac using Tiger.
    I want to upgrade this OS to Snow Leopard and need some guidance.
    I have done some research and have determined that I should be able to do this by purchasing the $30 disc rather than the box set with ilife.
    I am a bit confused regarding the back up and install procedure however.
    After buying the macbook I successfully upgraded the hard drive from the 80gig to a 320 gig using the free download of Super Duper to clone the entire drive. There are a lot of YouTube videos and post outlining this and it went without any problem.
    (there doesn't seem to be as much info for upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard out there plus I have read some people have had problems)
    So I need a back up and install plan.
    Can I use Super Duper for this? It seems to me that cloning would duplicate everything including the Tiger OS so I would expect that there may be conflicts? Or does Super Duper have another copying function.(it does not have any help files)
    Here is what I have to work with.
    The original 80 gig HD and an enclosure. A new untouched 500 gig external drive.
    Original Tiger install disc's and soon to be purchased Snow Leopard disc.
    FYI the Macbook has no personal files or 3rd party apps that I need to keep. I have only done test uploads of pictures and video to test the all the ports and drives etc.
    I do however need to keep all the included apps like iphoto, tunes etc .especially imovie 06 HD
    A bit off topic but if successful I want to download imovie 11 but still keep 06 HD. Can I use both on the same machine?
    Thanks

    The reason to back up is so when you do the installation of the new system if anything goes wrong you can back out of it. Is your backup drive bootable? Although technically almost all models are if you cloned the internal, some Western Digital enclosures aren't. See if the external shows up as a boot alternative in Startup disks preferences, and actually try booting from it.
    So let's say you have a bootable clone of your internal on the external. You can now just update the OS on the internal using your SL disc. If all goes well it should only replace system files. If there is a problem you can always clone your external back to the internal and start over.
    I don't know about 2 versions of iMovie. I don't use it but in general those more involved applications don't like multiple versions. In particular the new version might want to overwrite the preferences file for the old version, which the old version subsequently would baulk at using. There may also be plugin version issues, etc. I'd post this as a separate question on the iMovie forum.

  • Adding manual port mapping breaks NAT-PMP???

    Hello,
    I recently got an Airport Extreme simultaneous dual band N router. Recently I noticed some odd behavior related to NAT-PMP.
    I turned on NAT-PMP in the Airport utility, and everything works fine (BTMM, other NAT-PMP aware apps). However, I added a manual port mapping for my SlingBox, because the AP does not have uPnP support. Once this manual port mapping is added, NAT-PMP breaks. Remove it, and it works again.
    Anyone know if this is a bug in the firmware (running 7.4.1), and/or knows how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I'm getting the same problem. I, too, have a SlingBox, and I must manually have my SlingBox's port mapped. I also have manual port forwarding for iStat Server and for Transmission's web interface. Currently, when any of these manual port forwarding profiles are enabled/activated on my Airport Extreme base-station, NAT-PMP ceases to function at all (Transmission and SubEthaEdit both tell me they were unable to successfully map their respective ports). Is there any fix for this? If not, is Apple planning on releasing a firmware update for Airport Extremes fixing this problem? It's kinda ridiculous that an Airport Extreme can't handle manual and dynamic port forwarding concurrently.
    Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help I receive!
    Cheers,
    Sasha

  • Neboot, 10.5.2 image from OSX Tiger Server fails to new macbooks

    (I apologize in advance, I looked through several threads but could not find answer
    to my situation. I also apologize because I tried to get help at the Bombich forum,
    but an admin marked it "solved", when in fact it isn't.
    Thus I turn to the Apple faithful for help with this matter.)
    Using NetRestore 3.4.3, and I'm imaging MacBook (early 2008) labs,
    with 26 MBs in them.
    How I Do it: I get one MB, and using Leopard from OEM, I then patch
    up to Leo 10.5.2/QT 7.4.5/Safari 3.1 and I install the elementary apps
    necessary ( Kid Pix 3, Kidspiration 2, and Nystrom).
    I also install Office 2004, patched up to 11.4.1, and iWorks 08.
    I verify the image is correct, and then firewire connect the MB
    to my Master machine, a MBP running 10.5.2 and NetRestore 3.4.3.
    I then create the NetRestore image from the MB, and then create the NetInstall
    nbi for the image. I then copy the items from the MBP to my imaging server,
    a PPC iMac running OS X Server 10.4.11, via FW.
    I then set the Netboot options in the Server, and reboot the server for good measure.
    I then start hooking up the 25 MBs into a Cisco 2950 switch, which the
    Server is hooked into. I then boot all machines into NetBoot ( cmd-n)
    and image ( slowly) all the machines.
    The Problem:
    Once the images have been created on the machines, and after reboot,
    I then log into as the local admin, then set the server binding.
    Once the binding is complete, I log out, and then verify the binding sticks.
    I then log in as a managed user.
    This is where the image "breaks". The managed user becomes locked out
    of most Universal apps, and apps that should run under Rosetta,
    come up with their icons changed to the "ghostbusters circle"
    (Circle with line through it), and give the error " This application cannot run
    due to it not being supported on this architecture".
    However, if I log back in as local admin, the applications act as normal.
    Also, if I log in or log out as a managed user, the system often hangs,
    either at login or logout, leaving me with just the Leopard space screen,
    and will sometimes force me to force quit the
    system to get it to respond again.
    Contacting Apple, their only suggestion was to start again, but to use SUI
    from a Leopard Server Disc, which I didn't have but they were nice enough
    to send to me anyway, and create the NetBoot off of that.
    I decided however to give NetBoot one more try, and tried it again,
    this time making sure I repaired permissions on the original image
    (MB) before making the NetBoot image in NR 3.4.3.
    I still recieve the same problems afterwards.
    I then did a test in which I created both a second local admin account and
    a local standard account, and both acted like a managed account:
    apps could not be used, "ghostbuster circles" and log in/ log out hangs.
    I'm hesitant to use Leopard SIU, because I read all the reports of it's slowness,
    but is there something in 10.5.2 that breaks Netbooting?
    I've had no problems with Tiger Images in the past, so I'm pretty sure
    i got my steps down.
    Update in my testing :
    Today I decided to try and troubleshoot the image again, so this time
    I took the existing MacBook I used to make the image from,
    and I re-installed the problematic applications again,
    as well as delete the secondary admin and the standard user
    from my config, as I would add these later after the computers
    have been imaged.
    I then ran fix disc permissions on the image drive, and now I am using
    Net Restore 3.4.4, to remake the image andwhen done, I will re- create
    the nbi for the netinstall.
    I will test out the image shortly to see if it will work.
    ok, follow-up:
    after completing my new image and re-creating through NetRestore 3.4.4,
    as well as new nbi's, I copied them over FireWire to my OS X Tiger .4.11 Server.
    Set Netboot in Server Admin, made the Leopard image the default, restarted
    the server.
    Attached a new MacBook IC2D 2.4ghz to my Cisco Switch that the Server is on,
    and attempted NetBoot.
    Net Restore came on and began it's duty. 36 mins later, the image was on,
    verified, and the machine was rebooting.
    Upon reboot, I logged into the MacBook, as the primary admin,
    and verified the UniBi apps and the PPC apps would launch correctly.
    I then created the Standard account ( Student) on the machine,
    and the logged out and then back in as Student to test.
    All Privalges for Student were correct, and the UniBi and PPC apps functioned
    correctly.
    I then logged out as Student , back in as Primary Admin ( me) and then
    went to System Prefs and created the Secondary Admin (Teacher) for
    the machine.
    I then logged out as Primary Admin, and then logged in as Secondary
    Admin, and verified the UniBi and PPC apps would launch.
    I then recieved the "This App is not supported under this architecture"
    error with the UniBi and PPC apps under this secondary admin.
    I logged out, and then logged back in as Primary Admin (me), and everything
    still was working correctly under my account.
    I then trashed the Secondary Admin ( Teacher), and created a new secondary admin
    (called simply School).
    I then logged out as Primary Admin, logged in as School, and same errors
    occur, "This App is not supported under this architecture"
    error with the UniBi and PPC apps.
    I then called one of the PPC app makers Tech Support to see if they had seen
    anything like this under Leopard.
    Of course they hadn't, but after digging around, we decided to try this fix:
    Logged in as Primary Admin, I did a get info on the folder of the app
    that was" breaking".
    I then added the Secondary Admin to the Get Info panel and gave them
    a full ride ( rw) privalges to the folder. I then told the Panel to
    push them down ( propagate) to all children within the folder, including the app.
    I then closed out of the Panel, logged out as admin, and then logged in
    as Secondary admin. I then tested the app, and success, it launched
    perfectly!!!
    So at this point, I would say there is something more to the point
    problematic with Leopard .5.2 's ability to distinguish privileges
    to non Leopard based apps. Apps like the iLife 08 suite, and
    iWorks 08 didn't exhibt any of the problems I saw with Unibi
    and PPC apps under the secondary admin account; they worked as they should.
    At this point, I will add this "fix" to my list of drudgery that I do
    in finalization of the machine, like setting binding to the local
    OS X Server for Managed Accounts, which is next on my list to test,
    as that is also problematic with these Leopard .5.2. installs.
    Ok, so in part two to continue with my problems
    with 10.5.2 image and using NetRestore 3.4.4:
    I took the image out to test in a wide deployment.
    So with my same Tiger Server having the image,
    and my trusty Cisco 2950 switch,
    I set up 8 Macbooks to begin the deployment.
    The first four I turned on and got connected to the
    Server and they began to Netboot fine.
    MacBooks five through 8, I then tried to boot them up
    and get them in line to begin netbooting, but after taking up to
    10 minutes to connect to the server, they all came up with the following
    error:
    "You do not have read privileges to the source image. Please check
    the permissions on the image and try again."
    The first four were still imaging just fine, the next four would just hang
    at that error message.
    So I waited for one to completely finish out of the first four,
    and when it did, I tried to netboot one of the second group
    of four, and after 10 minutes, it connected and began it's process.
    I then tried another in the second group of four, and got the same
    "privileges on image" error.
    So what gives?
    Why can I only do four machines at a time? I know the image is
    fine and its permissions are ok, because I can do four machines
    at a time. It's when I try to do more than that then the problem
    occurs.
    Is this a Leopard issue or a Net Restore 3.4.4. issue?
    Well, just for grins, I put a PPC eMac onto the CISCO 2950,
    and attempted a Netboot from it with the Leopard Universal image,
    just to see if it would mount ( the emac is 700 mhz, so it would not
    support Leopard anyway).
    It attempted Netboot, but came back with the same
    "cannot read the disc image error" as seen on the
    MacBooks.
    But the image worked fine on the first four MacBooks,
    only when I attempted to NetBoot #5 did it cause the error.
    Could trying to put on that fifth Macbook corrupted the image somehow?
    or the NBI?

    While patiently waiting to see if anyone else is having my same issues,
    I tried a Firewire hookup to my 10.4 server directly
    of Macbooks 5 and 6, and tried a Netrestore through Firewire to the Macbooks
    off the same image in my NetBootSp0's Resources/Disc Image folder,
    and it restored fine to both , with only one error, that came up when it
    tried to auto-restart, but I suspect that having to do with it
    being unable to shut down the 10.4.11 Server more than anything else.
    So:
    1. the Image is valid, I can firewire restore from it at the server level
    no problem.
    2. It did do four MacBooks before saying it was "corrupted" and
    "Could not read the image".
    3. The Machines all boot into the Leopard NetBoot screen just fine
    through the Cisco 2950 switch, and get the nbi to bring up, but
    at the point it should auto run, it throws up the "corrupted" and
    "Could not read the image" errors.
    Unfortunately, I am under a deadline to image 540 MacBooks within the
    next 30 days, and my patience is wearing thin......

  • NFS: Leopard Client - Tiger Server

    We have a 10.4.10 System running as a server for all user accounts. The home directories are exported to the clients via NFS. With Tiger everything works out fine, but I started experimenting with integrating Leopard Clients.
    When I try to log in with SSH I get this error +'Could not chdir to home directory /home/user: Input/output error'+
    When I try to ls the home, it's empty. I wonder why the mounted home directory appears to be empty?
    In former times, one could see the NFS mounts as a link to some automount/static..., in Leopard I miss this. There seems to be some massive changes to the automounter?
    Sorry for the bad english.
    zwitcher

    I have a Tiger Server 10.4.11 and have a client on Leopard 10.5.5. I was having the same issue you were having and was getting all question marks when logging in. The issue was resolved after I selected LDAP Mapping "From Server" instead of Open Directory. However, now I have a delay when Authenticating of 20 seconds.

  • Tiger Server Admin on Leopard

    Before moving to Leopard I need to be able to administer Tiger Server.
    However trying to install Server Admin Tools on Leopard tells me "you are not allowed to install the software on this disk for an unknown reason"
    Can I run Tiger Server Admin from Leopard and how do I do the install ?
    Kind Regards
    Eric

    You must install the Leopard Server Admin Tools on Leopard. You can use them to manage a Tiger system.
    Page 157 of this document says:
    You can use the version of Server Admin included with Mac OS X Server v10.5 to
    administer Mac OS X Server v10.4.11 or later. Workgroup Manager on a v10.5 server can
    be used to manage Mac OS X clients running Mac OS X v10.3 or later.

  • Basic tiger server printing to network printer issues - HELP :)

    Hi everyone, Im after some help as im running out of ideas, here is my basic setup: (sorry i have rambled on a bit
    current 192.168.0.x network that has ADSL, PC's HP Laserjet 5Si network printer.
    Connected to that is my Tiger server with 2 lan ports, one is connected to that network and the other connected to a switch where I run all my macs - the server is a basic file and software update server.
    macs connected to the server get a 192.168.2.x address and can access the internet and each other etc - all is happy.
    now - I had my personal macbook pro connected directly to the first network to access the printer, works fine and fairly quickly but was unable to access the server (i imagine because the server thinks i was from the big bad internet from the .0.x range
    once i connected to the other network served by the mac server i could access all the files fine but printing would not work, so i thought I would have the server access the printer as it has access to both networks and just share it to the local macs.
    well when i add it and put in the 192.168.0.71 address it connects and loads the GIMP HP5si driver, but when it tried to print it takes up to 5 mins to show that its finished, but only sometimes does the printer actually fire up, and the times it did it never printed the whole page...
    The only thing i can think of is that the server is trying to print to the .0.x address'ed printer but using the .2.x address range, possibly confusing the systems.., im not too familiar with all the firewall/NAT settings ,i think i have everything turned off, but its still not working..
    If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated, im not sure what else to do.
    Thank you for your time

    This sounds more like a protocol or a driver issue rather than an addressing issue. Which protocol is being used to connect to the printer? You mention the GIMP driver gets loaded, which I read that it's an automatic function rather than you having to manually browse to the driver.
    Also, I would look at trying the Gutenprint drivers from Sourceforge rather than the included GIMP-Print.
    The other thing would be to check the cups error log on the server. It could give some clues as to why the spool file is taking so long.

  • NAT-PMP or UPnP Disabled

    I am trying to create a server for a game. I have downloaded Port Map to help set up the server to the internet. It says my router is incompatible and I need to enable my NAT-PMP or UPnP. I have clicked the Mac Help article that Port Map links to (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1552). I open up the AirPort Utility and when it scans it can not find anything, and I can not click the "internet tab" that is needed for the rest of the instructions. Am I doing something wrong or have I missed something?

    Yes, but is your wireless router an Apple product (Airport Base Station, Airport Extreme or Time Capsule)?
    If it's a Linksys, DLink, or anything NON-Apple, then you can't use the Airport Utility to manage it...you'll have to find the instructions for it to learn what settings to configure it with correctly.

  • No Airport Connection Using Tiger Server

    Using clean install Tiger Server on Pudding Basin iMac
    Can connect to the internet via cable connection from router but cannot configure Airport. iMac can "See" the network but when I enter the WEP code, it says that there is an error connecting to the network.
    I am sure that it is a box that I have left un-ticked or ticked but since I do not understand the terminology, I do not know where to start. I thought that I would just use a 'Wizard' to get going but I cannot find one.
    Is there a kindly soul on this forum who can point me in the right direction?
    Warmly,
    Malcolm

    The ethernet I would not know of, but I have had this problem before too with the wireless. Infact, 1 of my computers had this problem and one of them worked perfectly fine too. I also have a 2-wire gateway. I use a WPA pass-code.
    It would tell me connection timeout and all sorts of other stuff. I restarted the 2-wire device and that worked for me. Then I decided to use time capsule as a second wireless network so if 2 wire didn't work for my computer, I would be able to switch to the time capsule (which would be using double-nat, which is easy to set up), if the network didn't work. If you had time capsule and wanted only 1 wireless network, then go to http://home click on wireless networks and on the right side of the screen should be a wireless disable button.
    *This shouldn't be a problem with the iMac* unless you cant connect to any network like your neighbors of something.

  • Firmware 7.2.1 breaks NAT-PMP

    Ever since upgrading to 7.2.1, NAT-PMP no longer works for any program or device that uses it. For example, I can no longer access my Slingbox from outside my network and Azureus' NAT does not work properly. Now, I know how to manually forward ports and force these things to work (and manual configurations DO work just fine), but simply getting these things to work is not the issue here. The issue is that this was all handled automatically before the latest firmware upgrade. Resetting the base station or turning NAT-PMP off then back on doesn't correct the issue, but reverting to a prior version of the firmware does. I know that others are experiencing this issue, as I have seen mention of it on several message boards, but I was not able to find any mention of it here. Is this a known issue for this board and for Apple? Has anyone figured out a fix?
    Thanks.

    Sorry to dig up this old post, but it seems that it has been quite a while since anybody writes something about it.
    I recently find out that the NAT-PMP server on the AEBS seems to crash when executing some NAT-PMP commands.
    Running Transmission, however, will not crash the NAT-PMP server on the AEBS. Transmission is the only program that I found does not crash the NAT-PMP server.
    Once the NAT-PMP server crashes, it does not restart and thus other programs fails to use it.
    If anyone can confirm it for me, I think we are helping Apple nail down this problem and that they can issue a fix ASAP.
    The way I tested:
    1. I made sure that no programs that use NAT-PMP are running on my network.
    2. Restarted AEBS.
    3. When AEBS was restarted, I ran Transmission from computer 1 and got a Green light, saying port mapped successfully.
    4. Now I ran Azureus on computer 2, it did not say port mapping failed. However, when I quit Transmission and re-ran it on computer 1 it now fails to map the port.
    5. Quit Azureus and restarted AEBS, then Transmission. Viola! It mapped successfully again.
    6. Ran uTorrent on computer 3. uTorrent did not notify me about NAT-PMP error, and Transmission on computer 1 failed to map again.
    7. Quit uTorrent and restarted AEBS, and then again Transmission and it worked again.
    Of course I made sure they don't use the same port.

  • Client Upgraded from Tiger to Leopard Can No Longer Connect to Tiger Server

    I just finished upgrading a G5 2GHz DP Powermac from Tiger to Leopard. This was an Archive and Install upgrade with importing the old settings. After verifying the account migration, including .Mac connectivity, and fixing all 3rd party software compatibilities/upgrades, I tried to connect to our Tiger 4.11 server by clicking on the server's Icon in the Shared section of the Finder Sidebar. The finder then switches to browse the the server for shares: "Connecting..." is displayed under the tool bar, with a "Share Screen..." and "Connect As..." buttons to the right.
    At this point the "Connecting..." remains displayed with the spinning circle in the bottom right of the Finder window.... spinning. This situation continues for several minutes until is seems the system gives up.
    If I click on the Path button on the Tool Bar, and go up to the Shared level, ALL the Shares on the Network are displayed, including all the Tiger Client machine shares. I can click on the triangle beside the Tiger Client's icon, and all the drives and home directories on the Mac are listed. All the client shares can be accessed without any issues. NOTE: There are no other Leopard clients on the LAN.
    Prior to the Leopard upgrade, this client could connect to the Tiger server as well. All the other clients on the LAN can access the Tiger server also.
    On the Leopard client I have tried clicking and the "Connect As..." button and using the menu "Connect to Server" and specifying the server's IP, and I get the same "Connecting..." message with a "non-connecting" result.
    I can only assume that somehow the Account Name and password are not being passed correctly. But, using "Connect As..." should resolve that. However, "Connect As..." does not give me a user/password window!
    If I check the AFP Access log on the Server, the only messages displayed are "Mounted Volume..." No messages in the error log, and no messages in the "Connections" section.
    Can anyone help me figure out why the Leopard client can not connect to the Tiger Server?
    My apologies if the description of my problem is a bit disjointed. I have been thrown into server admin and am learning "Trial by Fire".
    Any help or suggestions on how to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    OK. A quick update.
    After waiting for about 10 minutes for the rotating circle in the bottom right corner to stop, I was able to click on the "Connect As..." button. It took another 10 minutes, but the Connect As window eventual popped up. I entered the Userid and Password (saving to Keychain) and was able to see all the sharepoints on the the server. I browsed all the connected drives and folders without issue.
    I then disconnected from the server. Reviewing the AFP logs on the server shows messages for the connection Login and Logout.
    I then tried to reconnect to the server, and again another 10 minutes wait, although this time the Leopard client eventually connected automatically with the proper User, as per the AFP logs confirms.
    Although, the client can now connect to the server, for it to take 10 minutes will be unacceptable to management, not to mention the end user. Tiger clients can connect in a couple seconds!
    Is there a way to reduce the Leopard login time to, say, a couple seconds, like it does with the Tiger clients?
    Again, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
