Network Sharing Bug? A bit too complicated to describe in Subject...

I have a G5 and MacBook Pro connected via Gigabit Ethernet.
I have AFP Filesharing active on both.
First I could connect form the G5 to the MacBook and vice versa no problemo.
I used the Administrator's accounts to log in, since i have the same on both machines.
Now this:
1) add some user in the file sharing pref pane on both machines. Like user "Test".
2) Log in to the other machine with user "Test".
3) Disconnect as "Test"
4) Try to log in with your Admin acount into the other computer.
Result: You'll not be logged in as Admin, but as user "Test".
No matter how many times you try.
Remedy: Restart the computer from which you are trying to connect.
Can anyone repro this before I send a bug report?
Cheers,
Phil

This bug is known to Apple. I have submitted a bug report on this and it turned out to be a "known issue".
Obviously it wasn't addressed in the 10.5.1 update. Let's hope for a security fix update.

Mac's drop network sharing after a bit

I have an imac and a Macbook Pro but after a while which ever one i'm not using at that moment seems to loose connection with the other and I get a pop up telling me to ignore or disconnect. Everything was fine until I upgraded my norton antivirus 11, could that have anything to do with it? This is frustrating as sometimes I'm using files from the other computer and need to get or send files back and forth. Thanks!

From above, "I suspect you get dropped when the other machine goes to sleep. Try preventing them from sleeping, and see what happens." Note that machines disappearing from Shared under Sno is common. To reconnect to a Mac, use Go > Connect to Server--afp://IpAddress. Afterward it is likely to appear in shared for at least awhile.

Distributed application: Networked Shared Variables, Named Services (Raw TCP/IP) or Other?

Happy New Year NI forums!
I am working on a project involving mobile interacting robots. In the future it is likely the application's components may need to run on different PCs (Targets). Note: at this point in time all the components are seperate but all running on the localhost machine. Thinking towards the future I want to pick the 'best' architecture to allow all these components (VIs performing various functions) in multiple locations. For example, several VIs on the Robots, VIs on serveral PCs.
I am currently aware of using Server/Client TCP/IP using named services. My mock up works well, but is it time efficient (my time coding) I wonder.. ?
Whereas I am aware of networked shared variables which handle connections and all the parsing for the underlying tcp/ip communication. But will this be difficult the manage? I am unsure if I can associate shared variables with a VI similar to named services. I suppose I could pro grammatically create the variable upon initialization of the server component - and the client could just search the list of avaiaible variables to connect too. Downside this would require DSC module.
As you can see, I am rather unsure. Any advice would be great!

Hi Jason,
Thanks for your reply. I hope your enjoying NI UK as much as I did.. fun times!
I have seen the link you posted a few times before. But today, I took a better look at it.
My issue is I need several multi-client severs, i.e. many servers which allow multiple clients to connect to them.
Now the STM does have an example of this - STM mutli-client Example - Server.vi (used with the STM mutli-client.vi)
However, when a make copies of these code (to have my second server) - it refuses to run. As in , it just stops itself.
I DID change the port number, on the lister aspect of the server code. But I Am unsure what else I would need to change to get this setup to work?
One thought I had was, the FIFOs all having the same name - this probably isn't a good idea between servers.
Any suggestions would be grateful!
*please could you provide me email support

IPhoto '08 album organization while network sharing

I use iPhoto to store and organize (hopefully) a University's photo archive (which is shared on a network). Would anyone happen to know why my albums do not stay organized (in alphabetical order) when I access a shared iPhoto library remotely?
Also, when I create a new folder and place albums inside of it (for further organization purposes because there are many, many albums) then try to access that folder remotely from another mac, that folder is not 'recognized' as a true folder with albums in it, instead it is treated as one big album.
Another issue is that when i try to export my iPhoto library (under file>export) it won't keep the organization structure (the separate albums). Instead, it places the entire collection of photos into one location, thus losing all those albums and hours of organization.
I'm a bit shocked that Apple hasn't found these issues and fixed them 7 releases later.
Plus, for those people on campus that need access to the University photo archive, they have to find a Mac nearby. Is there any way to share this archive with PCs using iPhoto? Or is there an Adobe product or other other product I should be using that is better designed for these purposes (organization/file structure consistency when network sharing and cross-platform compatible)??
I hope I don't have to switch to a new application, everyone in my department (and other Mac departments) are completely comfortable with iPhoto and it would be a huge learning curve for them to try a new photo database/sharing/storing/editing/organizing/etc. application!
Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
I use iPhoto to store and organize (hopefully) a University's photo archive (which is shared on a network).
This is way, way beyond the intended use of iPhoto which is personal photo organiser.
Also, when I create a new folder and place albums inside of it (for further organization purposes because there are many, many albums) then try to access that folder remotely from another mac, that folder is not 'recognized' as a true folder with albums in it, instead it is treated as one big album.
Only Albums are shared. Not events. not folders. Only Albums.
Another issue is that when i try to export my iPhoto library (under file>export) it won't keep the organization structure (the separate albums). Instead, it places the entire collection of photos into one location, thus losing all those albums and hours of organization.
If you export your Library you get the photos from your Library. If you want to export albums, then export the albums. The same happens with iTunes. Export from the Library you get the lot. Want the organisation, export playlist by playlist.
Is there any way to share this archive with PCs using iPhoto?
No. iPhoto has no cross platform capability.
There are other cross platform apps. Microsoft's Expression (http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/overview.aspx?key=web) is one but there are others. Search on MacUpdate
Bearing in mind the use you have I really don't think that iPhoto is the correct application for your needs. You need a more robust and scalable application - perhaps even a media server.

Will Mountain Lion fix the major Internet Sharing bug in Lion?

Does anyone know if Apple have indicated that they will be issuing a fix to the Internet Sharing bug in Lion (i.e. Internet Sharing does not work) in the new Mountain Lion?

Hmmm. Pete, suggest cease dissing people's problem with VNC in Mt Lion as "doesn't exist here" syndrome. Maybe for you, it's working just fine....for some of us...NOT.
Following several threads on issues with VNC and Lion and the vague hope that Mt Lion would fix the problem, I also upgraded to Mt Lion. Worse.
Prior to Lion, VNC worked every time with any Mac I tried, inside or outside the local network. With Lion, VNC worked correctly until around 10.7.4, then with intermittent connections (requiring restarts on the target Mac in order to connect a second time).
Now, with Mt Lion (target Mac is still on Lion and restarted), I cannot connect externally to the Lion Mac even with it being restarted (and Screen Sharing and Remote Management turned off/on as one thread suggested).
As another thread suggested, I had deleted the iCloud System Pref on both Macs while on Lion (with no effect to VNC).
While I'm sure there's a solution out there, I have yet to find it.
Thanks for any suggestions, but will someone at Apple please address this issue?

Network sharing administrating

Hello,
I'm using network sharing to share my internet connection (I'm tethering and sharing the internet).
I have a problem: _If I set up a password for the sharing, windows OS on other computers cannot connect._
I solved it using no password, but now I have a question: _How can I administrate my network sharing to be able to kick, or ban IP addresses or MAC address?_ I would like to kick or ban computers from the sharing (since they are slowing down the internet).
Thank you and waiting for your answer,
Bharel

pursistance is key! I'm glad you never gave up! keep on truckin'! I had this happening to me and toggling it off and on often times fixed my issue. I have to admit though, I eventually gave up on it, and purchased a 2tb time capsule which routes all my content flawlessly (however I'm connect viw ethernet now and don't need to share my network anymore.
if you have time, feel free to tell apple about your situation and what you are running on. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html I've seen too many wifi issues on here. I've already sent feedback of my own, but it wouldn't hurt to share your experience with this.
That being said, I hope it's the end of your troubles with this, however, I have a feeling you'll have to keep on doing this because it'll just stop working. for me it was after waking from sleep.

WRT600N - Network Sharing / Storage Issues

I recently bought a WRT600N v1.0 from Dell.com and configured the router (I'm a CCNP, so I've been using routers, etc.. for years). I had a WRT54GS v1.0 before this and that worked great for years.
The WiFi (both 5GHz and 2.4GHz) has been rock solid on the WRT600N, but my issue is with the network sharing/storage (NAS) part of the router.
I plugged in a Seagate USB 2.0 750GB HDD (already formatted to NTFS using Windows Vista). I was able to create folders and share them out. However, I cannot map a drive to about half of the folders. All folders are set up the exact same way, and even those I can map a drive to.. the network performance copying files to those shares is horrible (even over Gigabit Ethernet). I'm talking like 1MB/s, when I was getting 20MB/s using my old solution.
When I formatted the disk using the WRT600N, it only allowed me to format it to FAT, not even FAT32 or NTFS. Then it would still only work half the time.
Any ideas?
This seems like a FW issue, like many brand new Linksys products. I've already contacted Linksys support and they don't have a beta FW available to resolve this either.

Have you fixed your issues with the storage feature of this router...? I recently bought the WRT600N router and the SAME exact Seagate HD for the storage link feature. I have spent over 15 hours numerous phone calls to Linksys Techs and My Computer Works Techs and NOTHING doing, it still does not work right.
I have set up my drive and I to had to FORMAT using the FAT system of the router per one of the Linksys Supervisor Techs. I did this and set up everything related to my drive and MAPPED all my drives... I have access to all the drives at first and can move files around and delete from the network.
I wait for a few minutes and open a NEW program and try to SAVE to the network drive location and get "You Need Permission to Preform This Action. Try Again or Cancel" are the only options I get and NO REQUEST for a paswsword is given. I am administrator and cannot now access my drive / network...
The TECH's for MCW are puzzled as well as they initially set the drive and Share folders up. They cannot figure out why there continues to be a problem accessing the folders on the drive.
I spent 2 1/2 hours tonight on the phone with LinkSys and got really no healp only try this and try that. While experiencing the problems with the tech on the phone, I preformed a REFRESH on the Storage / Disk page and ALL Share Files I created Disappeared. I looked physically at my router and discovered the USB was now out...Why? The TECH thought is was a loose connection. NEW Router and NEW HD. Both are in a secure location and no one around to touch them. I could not get the router to discover the HD plugged into the USB location so I finally unplugged it and plugged it back in.
All setting remained and the router came back up without what seemed to be any hitches. At this point, I played with the configuration settings while on what seemed like eternal hold and FINALLY got access to the NETWORK drives and was able to save to all the partitions that were created.
The Tech decided that all was OK and we disconnected and guess what... I again tried to SAVE to the a partition and "You Need Permission to Preform This Action. Try Again or Cancel" came up again.
I am TRULY frustrated with this NEW SETUP and don't know what to do now. Can anyone help me fix this thing to make it work right?????
One thing you will learn about LinkSys, is that they have the best prodcuts out there..but if you buy a first generation product (such as the WRT600N), it will have issues that will take firmware updates to resolve the problems. The best thing is to report the issues and wait a few months until several firmware updates come out to resolve the problems.
I recently installed the latest FW update and my WRT600N has been acting "better", but still needs a few more FW updates to fix the other stability issues. I'm fully prepared to wait it out, but it is unfortunate that we have to wait anything out...as LinkSys Q/A should have caught these bugs prior to product release and had them fixed then.
I've tried products from NetGear, Belkin, etc.. and all of them are horrible. At least LinkSys products work once the FW updates come out. I just hope you never need to contact LinkSys support as they are horrible.
Here's my configuration:
- WRT600N v1.0
- Latest FW
- Seagate 750GB USB 2.0 External HDD formatted to NTFS using Windows Vista
- Shared folders created using WRT600N
- Media Server Enabled (still does not work with my Playstation 3)
- File write performance, still horrible..even over Gigabit Ethernet (around 200KB/s, should be around 4-5MB/s at least)
- File share mapping, still intermittent.. usually works.. but I noticed it seems to be case senstitive in mapping the drive names (odd)
- Should have an option to format the HDD as FAT, FAT32 or NTFS (only FAT is used currently)

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit ? And office pro 2013 64 bit too?

I am going to buy either a Mac Air or Mac Pro Retina 8GB RAM and 256GB. And as I have to still run Windows programs I will install Parallels 9. As the Mac are both 64bit machines does that mean I need to install Windows 7 64bit or just install 32 bit? (Going with Win7 as I hate Win8). And I will install Office Pro 2013 64 bit too or 32 bit or is that automatically selected by the underlying OS (I use Word, Excel and Access mainly for a membership database of a local club) ? I am not a power user so would appreciate advice on way to go

Again thank you. If I only use word, excel and access in the Win environment and Mac OS for email and safari for internet do I need anti virus software . Ie my connection to the world is mac only and I use office pro only to ruin the club, newsletters, membership database etc. and of course anything I do there can drag/drop to the mac environ to email. That's my understanding anyway. Next will my existing .pst file copy directly into mac mail or do I have to runs translator as I recall reading something about that ages ago when I started thinking Mac

Network shared variables lose binding

Hello,
I am developing an application in LabVIEW that uses network shared variables to transmit data between two PC's on the same subnet. The shared variables work fine when running the VI's in development mode, however, when i build the vi's into an executable I find that they no longer work. Here is what I have found so far:
I deploy the shared variable library on the publisher machine (also happens to be the development machine) through an invoke node in the executable. NI distributed system manager confirms that this does deploy and indeed updates as it should.
For the executable on the subscriber PC I created a second shared variable library (same project) with the same shared variables and bound them to the respective shared variables from the first library by selecting enable aliasing, then bind to PSP URL and browsing to the shared variable I wish to bind it to (e.g. \\hallnet-ellm2\shared variable library\serial Number). The machines listed under browse were listed by name so when I tried this initially and it did not work I manually changed the name of my machine in the URL box to the IP address of the publisher hoping that would fix it in case the subscriber could not resolve the publishers machine alias. So now my bind URL read \\192.168.0.1\shared variable library\serial Number.
As part of the executable on the subscriber I deploy this second shared variable library. NI distributed system manager confirms that this deploys but under quality for an individual variable it has a list of issues (see attached) and the bound variable is not updating. At this point the publisher shared variables are still functioning fine. By clicking on 'edit variable' I can see that the variable on the subscriber is still bound but the PSP URL is now \\localhost\shared variable library\serial number. Changing the PSP URL on the subscriber to \\192.168.0.1\shared variable library\serial number enables the variable to update as expected.However by this time my executable has already picked up the error and does not function.
I think that the issue lies with the bind URL used on the subscriber as for some reason it does not keep the binding configured in the project and instead changes to 'localhost'. Why is this? Should it not stay bound to the address specified in the project?
I have tried changing the IP addresses in the aliases file so that
[My Computer]
My Computer=localhost
becomes
[My Computer]
My Computer=ip of local machine
This did not help.
The shared variable libraries are included in the build spec to go into the support files directory and they are successfully deployed from there on both publisher and subscriber.
I am using LabVIEW 8.6 on Windows XP
Thanks for any help you may be able to offer,
Lee

Hi Lee,
I hope you are well. Thank you for your post. Your application sounds very interesting.
Looking at your issue I was wondering, have you tried lowering your firewalls, as this may be causing the problem.
Also, another option would be to setup a private network. Do you have access to any routers that you could use to link the two machines independent of your IT's infrastructure?
The other thing to try is two other computers entirely. Again, it would be ideal to take them off the network you are on, but it's something to try if my prior suggestion doesn't work. It should work on the original two machines though, and it's likely that different computers won't solve your problems because I suspect the network.
Remember that the client variables must know the location of the variables on the server, so you can't move the server exe around without changing this value.
Make sure to set the network location in the "Bind to Source" option for the client variables.
It is also possible to write a separate piece of code to install on every machine that is responsible for deploying the library and by doing so eliminate the need for programmatically deploying the variables in the original application. However, this won't really help you, because the variables you use in the application have to be the same as the ones deployed in the library, so if you change the library, they'll no longer be linked and they won't receive data. You'd have to create a separate exe for every binding source you wanted to link to, and then have a second, known library for the sake of communication locally on the computer between the ‘deployer’ and the actual application. The main application could then be assigned the responsibility of launching the correct ‘deployer’' if it sees it needs to switch to a different variable binding source. This method is not the most streamlined or effective, but it might work.
Just to let you know, you will need to use the DSC toolkit.
Please find below some knowledge base links that I think you will find helpful in your application.
Using Shared Variables in Executables
How do I Programmatically Change the Data Binding Source for Shared Variables?
I hope this information helps and if you can give these suggestions a go and let me know how you get on, that would be great.

Using network sharing on Macbook as router, but my ipod can't connect to the internet even though it can connect to wifi

Hi there, recently I've been trying to use my macbook as a router by turning on network sharing.
I'm sharing my connection through PPPoe.
It worked great for my 3DS and I was able to play online flawlessly
(unfortunately I don't have any other mobile device so I could only test this on my 3DS and ipod touch
But my ipod touch 4th gen, while it is able to connect to wifi with a strong bar, I cannot access the internet via web browsers and some of the apps.
It always gives me the 'cannot connect to internet' message.
What further puzzles me is that I can receive, update, and check my mail perfectly fine.
I've already tried the following:
1) unplugging and replugging my modem
2) forgetting the network on my ipod and re-access it
3) resetting network setting on ipod
4) tweaking with the internet sharing setting like trying different channels and different types of security
5) turning off and on my ipod, and turning off and on the wifi on my ipod
Anyway, I'm really stumped and I hope someone can help me figure this out.
Any help will be gladly appreciated.

oh I'm not actually using a router, I'm using my macbook pro as a wifi router by turning on network sharing.
And I'm sharing the connection through PPPoe
...unless, of course, I'm totally misunderstanding your question @@;
I'm a complete tehcno noob =__=;

Playing a FLV-File in a projector.exe from a network shared folder failes

We want to load and play FLV-Files while our project files
(Projector.exe) and FLV-files are sitting on a network shared
folder with UNC-Path access (\\FILESERVER\sharename\). The problem
is, that the flv-files do not play. If the same application runs on
a local system it works fine. The System.security.sandboxType is
"localTrusted" because it runs in a projector.
We do not want to map the shared folder to a drive letter!
Thank you

I apologize if u can not load the page, its a hosting company issue, their server goes up and down randomnly so please to retry 15mn later, it will be available. Thanks.

So the user won't have to pay the retail cost for a replacement if they get it replaced?
You mean they won't have to pay the price for a new phone to replace the broken phone with a refurbished phone thru Apple.

Styles being dropped on network shared folder files in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Hello, apoligies if this has already been solved but I could not find anything similar. Recently we have upgraded our staff from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS5.5 and are having some issues with pages dropping the stylesheets which are linked relatively. The relative files are located on a shared network drive which is mapped in Windows 7 as a drive (e.g. My Computer shows the drive as R:).
In Dreamweaver design view up the top it reads:
Address: file:///R|/acrrm/tinnitus/course_content/001.html
and there is a yellow bar up the top which reads:
'common_styles.css' is a remote file and cannot be edited.
We never had this issue before so I was wondering if it was a new limitation of CS5.5 or if there was something I should look out for in the site definition.
Interestingly enough I was able to fix this on one machine by randomly toggling the live code/view buttons, havent had any luck doing that to other machines though.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Here are the specs:
O.S: Windows 7
Version: Dreamweaver CS5.5
Site Definition: Network shared drive

Interestingly enough I was able to fix this on one machine by randomly toggling the live code/view buttons, havent had any luck doing that to other machines though.
I would have to say that this operation could not possibly fix anything. I suspect that simply waiting the same amount of time as this operation required would have returned the same result, and it sounds like there is some latency in your network.
Your site is entirely contained on a network shared drive, right? Or is it that only SOME files are on the network shared drive (R:)? Also, where is it you are seeing this?
Address: file:///R|/acrrm/tinnitus/course_content/001.html

Network sharing problem (user permission)

Hi,
I'm having problem with the network sharing and user permision.
My company computer configuration listed as follows:-
iMac 1 - Mac OS 10.6.8
iMac 2 - Mac OS 10.5.8
iMac 3 - Mac OS 10.5.5
PowerMac G5 - Mac OS 10.4.9
4 PC - All windows XP
We have problem with the file sharing on iMac 1.
All the computers can share each other flawlessly. (Mac using SMB to access windows).
However, when iMac 1 copy a folder, or create a new folder in PC, some problem occurs.
- the folder being create/copy was set to be full access (read/write) for everyone in the permissions setting.
- the folder can be share with everyone on the iMac1
- when it copy through the network to a PC, iMac 2, iMac 3, and PowerMac G5 cannot access the foler.
- all the PC and iMac1 still can access it.
Any clue to this funny issue?

What happens if you create another user with administrative right ?
