Networking issue with Leopard 10.5.2, Arris Touchphone, Netgear WRG614 v4

I recently upgraded to Leopard 10.5.2 and now having long hang times of 15 seconds (if I connect at all) to internet. It's not a signal issue, AND I have a PC that flies on same wireless network.
The same time I loaded new OS, Comcast came in a changed out my Motorola SURFboard SB5120 modem for Arris Touchtone Telephony modem. I am still using the Netgear WRG614v4 with the most updated firmware(V5.0_07)
Of course, I wasn't sure if not being able to connect to internet was a Leopard issue or a networking issue. After many hours of troubleshooting...
1. MANY hard resets through cable company AND buttons on both modem and cable
2. Applied all the newest Updates to 10.5.2 which fixed the issue for about 2 hours, then back to crawling
3. Changed the channel on the Netgear from 11 to 9
4. Went to Starbucks AND Panera Bread and had fast connectivity even from the parking lot!
Although I expect some issues to pop up from the new OS, I now believe the connectivity issue is with either the new modem or router. Comcast insists that their firmware is up-to-date and is automatic.
Should I get a new router? HELP

I've been on the road and everything is working fine, but now I'm back home and the same issues.
BUT for some reason, after a day, something switched up and now the mac is on-line and the PC is not. They are definately fighting each other. Even the wireless printer is wacked. Sometimes when I try to print from the mac, it can't connect to the printer. I then either restart the mac or restart the printer, and it goes through.
The other issue now is that all the lights on the Arris modem are blinking. Comcast is saying something is wrong. They are coming out today. Wonder if I just got a bad modem....

Network issues with Leopard fresh install

I have an iBook that I was running Leopard on with no issues yesterday. It is no longer my main computer, so I wanted to wipe everything and start from scratch with a fresh install of Leopard. The install went smoothly. I did an Erase & Install setup from a Leopard Upgrade disc (but already had Leopard on my system so upgrade verified OK). When I booted up for the first time, it appeared everything was working normally.
I went online, downloaded a couple pieces of software I frequently use, and then started to set things up. This is when I ran into issues. I could browse the web without a problem. I could set up email with POP access, but not IMAP. AIM with Adium connects just fine. Tweetie won't connect. Dropbox won't connect. It's like some ports are being blocked, but others aren't, and I can't figure out why.
I have tried/verified:
OSX firewall is off
Restarted router/cable several times
iBook is in router's DMZ- outside of router firewall
Repaired permissions
Reset PRAM
Anyone have any suggestions or other troubleshooting ideas?

Here are the steps to selling*:
http://www.macmaps.com/selling.html
Mac Pros that shipped with Leopard should install from the Mac Pro labelled discs. Those that came with pre-Leopard, you should still include the Mac Pro discs, though if you desire to install Leopard on them, you should also include the Leopard discs that are retail. Leopard retail looks like * and do not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM.

Network issues with Apple products?

I've got a weird issue with my Apple products connecting to certain networks. Two different instances:
1) My parents house, my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro all have issues in contacting certain sites and apps. Things from google or apple servers wont work. Some things do, if I VPN to an outside network, everything works perfectly fine. I haven't been able to figure out what the root of the issue is. I've switched routers and contacted the network provider but they said it wasn't there fault. This has been going on for a bit. All non-Apple products seem to be fine.
2) My office, I know even less details about the network here, but I'm having a similar issue where my Apple devices get connectivity for a bit then stop and then come back later. If I VPN again, everything works perfectly fine. All non-Apple products work fine.
Anyone have any idea as to what this could be from?

I am having the same problem since upgrading to Snow Leopard. Really need an update from Apple or a solution. Been reading a lot of posts on several discussion boards but nobody has come up with a solution yet. Apple really needs to send us a fix for this. I understand it is also hapenning in Lion.

HELP: Mail issues with Leopard

I have been having an issue with Mail since I upgraded to Leopard. I am getting the following message when I wake my Mac from sleep:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account “[email protected]” or try again. The server error encountered was: The server “mail.mac.com” cannot be contacted on port 143.
Does anyone know why this might be happening? Mail seems to work fine otherwise...

I had update problems with my PowerBook G4 as well. In my case the update stalled at Writing Package Receipt-it was installing 4 packages so I am not sure which one failed-but about this Mac showed 10.5.2 version-however the receipts were not anywhere -either in Software Updates/Installed Updates or in Library/Receipts/boms or in Console Logs-therefore, I concluded that the Update was only partial. I was unable to update it to completion using the independently downloaded Combo updates. So........., I restarted with the install DVD and did an Archive and Install (it reverted back to 10.5), then ran Software Update. It installed 7 items some of them relating to iTunes, iWork, iLife, QuickTime etc, including the combo 10.5.2 updater. It took an hour or two but everything finally installed. After that I ran Software Update again and it installed the Graphic Update. Now everything is fine except Permissions Verify/Repair takes quite long.

Strange issues with Leopard (Safari, Mail, speed)

I have a 20" iMac (white model) which I got in March of this year. I just upgraded to Leopard (did the upgrade path with the DVD. Nothing set in options or anything special). The upgrade went fine and 10.5 seems to be running ok. There are a few issues though that don't make much sense to me and I wonder if there is something amiss with my install.
1. Safari and Firefox both won't resolve addresses anymore. If I type in apple in the address bar it takes me to Verizon's search engine to resolve. I have to type www.apple.com to get it to go to the site. I checked my PC to see if this was something Verizon was doing and it worked fine in Firefox. Also weird is I don't use Verizon's search engine, I use Google so why is it going there? How can this be fixed?
2. With Mail when I send an e-mail and type someone's e-mail address with some of the accounts, it will resolve their name just fine. It removes their e-mail address and just shows their short name like it's suppose to. However, not all e-mail addresses do this. Some will show me the full address. Not earth shaking mind you, but a bit of a pain. This seems to be tied to the Verizon accounts. Gmail seems to resolve ok as do other e-mail addresses. I checked the address book and it is selected to show all smart names so that is set up right and since it works for some of the addresses, I assume that is not the issue.
3. Safari seems slow. I don't know if this is a network issues (the PC seems fine in the other room). My airport speeds look good but going to site to site seems to take a long time. Other programs seem to take just a bit longer too. Even mousing over the Dock, you notice a slight hiccup before it pops up. Nothing insane mind you, just a slight...delay. I wonder if 1GB of RAM isn't enough to really do 10.5 well. Anyone have any feedback on that? Should I bump my RAM to 2GB to get better performance? What is the "sweet" spot as far as RAM goes? Is 2GB gonna really be the best (I don't do real intense things like Final Cut Pro or things like that) or is 3GB really the best bang for the buck? Tiger was awesome on the system but now it just seems a little slower. Should I have done a wipe of the HD and installed Leopard clean? I was told there really isn't any benifit of doing that so I chose the upgrade path to keep everything in tact. Any suggestions on how to speed things up?
Thanks for the help on all this.

Well I have the same problem #2
It seems that Mail will not resolve names in my address book but I can use the address button and search and select the names.
Also it seems that my preview window will not preview some messages and it just hangs there with a "Loading..." message. But I can actually click the message and see it fine.

Solution To Network problems with Leopard systems and tiger and vista

After lots of research and looking into sharing data with leopard systems and other os, i finally found a Solution. Before i state what you have to do to fix it here is what the problem is.
Mac Os x( Leopard) systems trying to find computers or share data to other systems on the same lan can't find each other or simply if are found cant share data with each other.
Reason for the problem.
- By default tiger , windows and some linux distro's automatically join WORKGROUP under workgroup in WINS. with leopard this is changed to join local under workgroup. This effectively causes the systems to fail to communicate with each other.
- By default shared folders on leopard has smb not checked by default.
Solutions
-in order to see computers on the same network or workgroup. find out the workgroup with which all the local machines are connected to, then on your leopard system goto Apple->System Preferences->network ->advance and head over to WINS tab from here either select your workgroup or type in your workgroup. hit ok then apply in the network window. ( restart your mac at this point int time and try browsing the computers in your network)
- to make sure you can share folders with windwos machines goto apple->system preference ->Sharing. Make sure file sharing is selected then choose the folder you want to share or add a folder you want to share. next click on options and enable Share files and folders using SMB enter your password if it asks and then hit done.
hopefully this helps people with problems on their mac's. other wise you have three options if this is too much trouble install vmware fusion/parallels on your machine and install windows / install windows using bootcamp / and last get a windows machine ( although this choice is highly unlikely it's still a choice). Please note this is not a windows vs mac subject is just that apple has changed the network stack protocols and architecture so stuff is being done differently , you just got to think different to get stuff to work. but after it's all said and done all your system should work in harmony now.

Thank you all for replying. I upgraded to Tiger from Panther the first week and it worked AWESOME! I do have to say that I truly and beginning to feel like I'm having issues I would experience on a windows machine. I know that Apple will fix but it is frustrating that I'm having the issues that I'm having.
I just need to finish up the project I'm working on and then I'm going back. I'm currently without any admin rights on my computer but I'm working away. I actually don't know what to expect next so I'm just backing up my data from time to time and working hard to get this done and get back to Tiger (that will be a long process so don't want to get started).
Again thank you all! Also I want to call Apple about this but don't want to wait on hold for the tech. AND they are only open during business hours. Guess what, I work during business hours. What's up with that? Adobe is available all the time.

Very Strange Network Issue With Two Guests on 2012 R2 Hyper-V Failover Cluster

Hi all. We're having a odd issue with two guests on our 2012 R2 failover cluster.
In a nutshell, if we shutdown a particular server (I'll call it Server A) another totally different server (Server B) on the same node loses it's network connectivity to the domain. If we start server A back up, network connectivity returns on server B.
At first I thought server A might be running a service that was somehow linked to server B, so I decided to disable server A's NIC. Interestingly, that had no affect on server B's connectivity.
The next step I tried was pausing server A and again, no adverse affect on server B's connectivity.
Next step was to live migrate server A to another node. This action did
cause server B to lose its network connection.
One other clue is that if I ping server B from either of the Hyper-V hosts in the cluster, I never lose network connection to server B.
So I would suspect this is some network issue on the cluster, but I'm kind of at a loss where to go from here.
Has anyone seen this behavior before or does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions I can try?
Thanks!
George Moore

Hi Sir,
I'v never seen this before .
>>Next step was to live migrate server A to another node. This action did
cause server B to lose its network connection.
They are connecting to same virtual switch ?
First please run cluster validation to check if there is any error .
If it is ok , please try the following items for troubleshooting :
1. shutdown serverA serverB
2. then add another virtual NIC for serverB
3. start server B check if the issue happens to both "old" and "new" virtual NIC .
In addition , you can live migrate both A and B to another node , then try to live migrate A to the original node .
If the issue persists , I would suggest you to remove that virtual switch on both nodes then re-create them .

Elton Ji

Network issue with initial connections on Hyper-V

This is the opposite of all the other networking issues I have seen with Hyper-V- anyone run into this?
I am running Hyper-V on a Server Core installation, and have had the same issue when I used Server 2012R2 as when I used Server 2008R2 on the same server as a virtual host. The server is an HP ProLiant DL360 Gen8 with 2x 8-core processors, 32 GB RAM. The
VM is sized and configured to stay within 1 NUMA node. It uses a single port of the 4-port HP/Broadcom 331 NIC, with all the TCP LSO settings disable at the switch, host, and guest, same with the power management settings. We have ProxyARP on the network,
so I have set the ArpRetryCount key to 0.
I have seen it happening with and without SR-IOV enabled. The guest OS is an RDS server, so for the sake of our CAL's it has to stay at Server 2008R2. I have set up a HOSTS file to mitigate this problem, as it seems to be a DNS issue- Here's what happens:
The first time I visit a resource, the server will timeout. An example not in our HOSTS file does this consistently: If I go to https://mail.mydomain.com/OutlookWebAccess, it spins for a couple of minutes before timing out. I hit refresh and the page loads
immediately. This server is colocated in-house, as is the mailserver. I'd say it is a DNS issue at some level, but I'd like to know what level it is- Is it just timing out trying to cache the DNS request, or is there a performance issue with a DNS server on
the network? (All of our DNS is AD-integrated running on DC's).
Here is where I'm seeing this:
Internet Explorer- described above
Salient Interactive Miner- at the login screen, it searches for a database and times out. If I go to the setup and enter the IP address, it still times out. It will not find the database server until I quit and restart the program. If this is the same issue,
it would obviously not be a DNS problem.
I DON'T see it in GP9 connecting to a datasource
Prior to setting up the HOSTS file, I saw this in Windows Explorer connecting to network shares on the same LAN segment.
This appears to only happen to the Hyper-V guest OS. As a best practice, whenever Windows Update runs, I update the Integration Components.
I have the bindings properly ordered on the guest VM, with the network adapter the goes to the physical NIC first, and IPv4 ordered before IPv6.
All updates are isntalled, and the firmware is at it's latest revision.
Any ideas?

Hi Daniel,
" This appears to only happen to the Hyper-V guest OS. "
Do you mean that any other hosts can access the network resource normally except these VMs ?
If yes , my suggestion is to disable the VMQ on the physical NIC for the VMs , then try test again .

Networking issues with MacBook Pro

I have tried to find this issue on line and in the forums and couldn't I have seen many people have similar issues using VPN connections or Citrix but nothing what I am seeing. I have 3 MacBook Pros that connect fine to our company network. They have the DNS settings from our DHCP server and I can see their leases and everything. We can connect to network drives however we can't connect any of them to the company's intranet sites. If we type in http://companysite and hit enter both Safari and Firefox come back stating that they can't find the server companysite. Not sure why it is looking for a server by the name of companysite when our DNS servers point to the servers that are hosting the sites.
If I type in the IP address of any company site then it works however using the name doesn't. So it sounds like an issue with DNS but again the DNS servers are in the network settings and Windows machines have no issues with using the http://companysite instead of using http://IP Address. Any assistance would be appreciated.

OK, figured out that if I added my company's domain to the search domain list in Network Settings this would allow the MacBook to use http://companysite instead of the IP Address. However now I need to figure out the authentication issue. We use the end user's network credentials for access to the company intranet sites. Using http://companysite I get access denied. Using the IP address allows the end user to enter in their network credentials.

Graphic Issues with Leopard - iMac 24" White GeForce 7300 GT

Upon installing Leopard, I've noticed several graphics issues and general lag and delayed response with the interface. I'm running a 24" iMac 2.16ghz White early 2007, 3gb of RAM, with the GeForce 7300GT card. I have Time Machine disabled, and Spotlight has fully indexed.
When installing Leopard, I did an "Erase and Install" and have manually installed my Applications after the Leopard install. I'm using only a few applications that are all "Leopard ready" and have a relatively clean system at this point. I have also cleaned the PRAM, per the recommendations in some of the threads ive read, which didn't seem to correct the issue in this case.
It seems that any time I run any type of video or graphical application, such as Photo Booth, World of Warcraft, iChat, etc, I get a large amount of lag and slow response with the interface. Windows respond very slowly, and the applications freeze for 15-20 seconds. Even when not engaging any applications, opening folders in the finder as well as the dock appear to stall and respond very slowly.
Aside from these issues, Leopard has performed very well and I have had no other issues. Quicklook and coverflow all seem to respond very quickly and smoothly. My guess is that it may be driver related as it seems to be centered around items that are engaging the video card, though it is strange how some graphical effects seem to work smoothly while others are rather choppy. I have been watching the Activity Monitor and there don't appear to be any processes that are sucking up CPU, and nothing obvious that may be reducing performance.
I'm just curious if anyone else has noticed anything similar to this on similar hardware, or possibly may know what the culprit could be. My best guess, again, is that it could be the drivers or firmware with this specific hardware that I'm using.
Thanks for your time

I've had the same graphics issues with my white iMac 24 (serial no starts W8638), but with the GeForce 7600 card. AppleCare got me to do all the usual stuff (reset PRAM, clean Leopard install etc) but problems continued. The usual pattern is that after a while horizontal lines appear (usually in Safari) and things deteriorate form then on until there is so much pixellation that I have to turn off and back on.
Yesterday I ran for several hours using SMCFanControl to set the fans to max and had no problems, so my suspicion is that the additional graphics requirements of Leopard are over-heating the graphics card or logic board.
The Apple engineer took the machine away today and said they'll probably replace the logic board and graphics card (I think they can't change one without the other in the iMac?).
Will be a few days but I'll report back on what repairs they make and whether they solve the problem. My fear is that any changes they make will have no effect if its a design problem and the card is just not up to the job without over-heating. Though it could be the card just needs a good clean
Has anyone else tried increasing fan speed?

Network Issues with Visual Studio Online Application Insgihts

My team is using Visual Studio Application Insights to monitor availability of our web server (we use cloud service)by making a call to it every 5 minutes from different locations around the world including Singapore, Japan, France and Switzerland.
We experienced continuous failures of this monitoring from Singapore from September, 19-th and the issue became very big on September 21-st, September, 22-nd. After that on September, 23-rd and 24-th we have failures form Paris. Then starting from September,
24-th to September, 26 we have very high percent of failures from Japan. Our problems finished with one more failure coming from Switzerland on September, 26.
I wanted to find what the source of the problem is since we checked our code and it very simple to cause network issues. However, it is very difficult to reproduce the issue. My questions is - were all these problems coming from Visual Studio Online Application
Insights?
One example error that it is tracked in Visual Studio Online Application Insights is:
System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because

Hello Kanio,
There is nothing AI-specific in the stack, and, since the exception was reported to the portal, I would say that AI was working that time. However, if the issues goes away as soon as you disable AI - then it might mean that the issue is induced by AI presence.
Also, you can try the latest AI SDK (0.13 as of today) and see if the issue still happens.

Colour Management issue With Leopard and PS CS3

Hi Everyone,
Since I have installed Leopard I am having colour management issues with Photoshop CS3 and my Canon i9950 printer.
My screen is calibrated with a Spyder and I used to ask Photoshop (in 10.4.11) to manage colour when printing and used the Spyder profile. Everything came out as I saw it on screen.
Now in leopard when I do the same thing everything comes out too yellow on the print. If I ask Photoshop to let the printer manage the colour it is too red. If I use the default colour management (photoshop managing the colour and it choosing the colour space it is better, but still too yellow).
Photoshop gives the hint to turn off colour management in the printer but there is no option for this and it also said the same thing before of course (when it worked in 10.4.11).
Any ideas?
Thanks.

You need to use the correct printer profile for the paper you're using. If the printer didn't come with any pre-built profiles, check Canon's web site to see if they have any profiles available for your printer that you can download.
Printer profiles are very specific. You can't take take a profile for glossy Epson paper and expect it to work very well for Canon glossy paper.

I'm having exactly the same problem, only my printer is a Canon Pixma iX4000. The colour is all bleached out, it looks exactly like when you've accidentally printed an RGB file on a CMYK printer, and at first I thought that was what I had done, but it isn't. This is very frustrating, I've spent all day going through the manuals, recalibrating etc, but no luck. This is a brand new Mac Pro and printer, but if its not going to print what I see on screen it's just expensive junk.
I wasn't sure if the problem was Leopard or the printer or CS3...

10.4.8 network issue with some routers (Zyxel)

Since I have installed 10.4.8 there is a problem with my Zyxel Prestige 310 router, which after a short period of time "hangs up" - so nobody in the network has Internet conection ( PC's and other Macs with 10.4.7).
After restarting the router everything works fine, until I start a Mac with 10.4.8..
This happens on Intel and G5 Macs..
Today I had a long phonecall with my Provider here in Austria, who told me that a lot of people are having this problem - all with Zyxel Routers - but he doesn't know a solution.
He (and me) is waiting for a fix from apple...:-)

I also have an issue with the 10.4.8 update and a Zyxel router, although mine is not as severe as yours.
Mine has to do with WPA encryption and a timeout setting.
The thread is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3246932
So, maybe this helps?

Big issues with Leopard and writing to NAS units or Windows servers

Quick run down of the issues
1st client has a number of G5's all running 10.5.2
NAS units running embedded Windows SBS 2003 or Windows Storage .
All shares have worked fine before the macs were upgraded to Leopard.
Now the macs can see the shares, mount and write to the folders. But immediately afterwards all inherited permissions are stripped from the folders/files and only the owner of the file/folder can access them. All other mac users have no access. It seems that Leopard is ignoring the inherited permissions of the share and just applying its own.
2nd Client
Number of imacs running 10.5.2. Can see the mac shares on the server running Windows SBS 2003 fine. The minute any files are copied you get the progress of the items being copied, seems to appear on the server and then just hangs.
In most circumstances the copying crashes the whole server.
Have tried binding the imacs to AD, but no joy. SMB sharing (with Appletalk turned off) dosent help either.
Somewhere there seems to be some gremlins with AFP and windows shares
Anyone have similar issues or bright ideas ?

Alright I'm running into the same issue with my iMac 10.5.2 connecting to windows server 2003 r2. I'm about to go nuts, I can log on to the server, open files manipulate them and sometimes I'm able to save that file back to server but I'm unable to transfer almost anything new to the server, (I can create new folders though). When you try to transfer something to the server I get "progress of the items being copied, seems to appear on the server"... then it hangs, a corrupt file is left on the server. If you try and open that file I get an error message on my mac, "OS X is currently using this file" on a pc it will say the file is corrupt. I'm forced to carry my psd files on a flash drive and walk to coworkers machines to upload it to the server... (haven't had time to set up parallels). I'm the only mac in the office and I'm seeing why I've been so spoiled at past jobs where its 100% macs.
