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.

Publish iCal Calendar using Tiger Server

I've been searching for a simple way to publish iCal calendars using Tiger Server. Here is what I need to do:
I need one user to be able to publish multiple "studio schedule" calendars to the Tiger server...and I need all the regular users in the studio to be able to subscribe to it so that they can see what work they have scheduled for the day. The regular users do NOT need to be able to make changes to the calendar...they only need to see it. (and print it if needed) Only the studio manager needs to be able to see and edit the published calendar.
I called Apple support for help on this one and they told me they would have to charge me $695 just for me to be able to get help on this....which surprised me because I'm just trying to use their software to do something it is supposed to be able to do! LOL The only other suggestion he could give was for me to look to the discussion groups here for help....so here I am!
HELP!
xServe G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) xServe G5

The first thing you need to do is set up WebDAV on the Server and share a directory. If you need instructions on how to that just follow this thread.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2793917#2793917
Once you've set up a shared directory you just publish the calendar to it from within iCal.
To do that, set up a calendar, select it and then select 'Publish' under the 'Calendar' menu. In the dialog box that opens up give the calendar a name without spaces. Select 'Publish on: a Private Server'.
In the field for 'Base URL:' fill-in the complete url to the server directory you set up previously using the WebDAV instructions. For example, if you set up a directory on the server called 'calendars' and the URL of the server is www.example.com you would put in 'Base URL: http://www.example.com/calendars'.
Now enter the 'Login' name and 'Password' for an account that has access to the shared directory as you've set it up using the WebDAV instructions.
Select the other options you want to enable in the dialog box and then click on 'Publish'. Now the calendar is published and available for others to subscribe to.
Now to subscribe to the calendar, just select 'Subscribe' under the 'Calendar' menu in iCal and enter the URL for the calendar. Using the example from above you would enter 'webcal://www.example.com/calendars/StudioWork.ics' for a calendar that was named 'StudioWork'.
You can also email the URL for the published calendar by selecting it in iCal and selecting 'Send Publish Email...' under the 'Calendar' menu in iCal.

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
Gary

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

Powerbook Airport connection to Windows server

I am the currently the only mac user trying to connect wirelessly to a Windows based wireless enabled server (3COM wireless LAN access point 2000). The network name shows up in the Airport Icon drop down menu. I have the WEP 40/128-bit hex code but when I enter it I get the message; "There was an error joining the Airport network xxxx."
My Airport connection works fine everywhere else so what's wrong here?
My system: Powerbook G4 867 Ti 768 RAM Standard Airport card.
Is it a setting on my computer? Is it a setting on the server? So far the problem has beaten 2 MS support people here so any suggestions would be gratefully received.
I am desperate to get the mac to work with this system as another 2 people have said they will bring their powerbooks to use if we can find a way to wirelessly connect.
Help me stop the sneers from the PC people.

Tricks that sometimes help when using 128-bit WEP:
- try using the same exactly 26-digit hexadecimal format WEP key on both the router and the Mac. With some wireless routers it is necessary to preface a hex-format WEP key with the $ symbol when entering it on the Mac.
- try using the same exactly 13-digit alphanumeric WEP key on both the router and the Mac
- if the router generates more than one WEP key from a passphrase, always use only the first of the multiple keys it generates

Permissions are not shown correctly in Get Info on Snow Leopard client, using Tiger server w/ ACL's

Invoking "Get Info" on a file or folder which is on a shared volume hosted by a G5 running Server 10.4 fails to show meaningful permissions when done from a 10.6 iMac. It says only that the user has "custom permissions", which is true since there are ACL's in operation. However, the Owner and Group POSIX settings are not shown, only the Everyone setting shows, making it impossible to determine which user created the file (in order to resolve issues when permissions prevent intended action). The same file or folder will show Owner and Group on 10.5 systems, as well as at the 10.4 Server itself, so we do have a workaround. I have noticed, though, that I have run into permissions restrictions where I should not, such as creating a folder on a shared volume using a 10.6 system, and then not being able to save into that folder from the same system/user.
Is there something about the implementation of ACL's in Tiger that confounds Snow Leopard's Finder?

Hi,
I did two things to get it working, and haven't taken the time to sort out which did it. But it is working so it's good enough for me.
First I followed TeenTitan's suggestion, and also checked "Allow printing from the internet". I'm behind a firewall so not too concerned I'll get someone's odd photo on the printer.
Second I went back to server admin, selected the queue under queues in the Print service, then selected IPP and deselected LPR. Bonjour went grey but stayed checked.
After this I see the printer with "@ server name" appended, and it added the printer drivers like it should.
So all working well.

Creating Peer to Peer connections using intermediate server

I want to connect two clients (via TCP/IP sockets in Java). The clients can discover each other using an intermediate server. Once the clients discover each other, there should not be any involvement of the server.
I made some study about this and found many people suggesting JXTA. But I'd like to create the protocol myself from scratch (because in future I might have to implement the same using WebSockets as well (when my client is a Browser)). Currently, my clients can be Desktop applications or mobile applications.
My questions are:
1. How will clients discover each other at the server? If the server sends the global IP address of the clients to each other, will that information be enough to create a peer-to-peer connection? What if the clients are on the same LAN network and the server is on a different WAN?
2. Client have dynamic IP address. Can their IP change all of a sudden even if it has an active socket?
3. Is peer-to-peer connection is reliable for transfer of non-continuous data (like in chat application)?
[*NOTE*: by peer-to-peer connection I mean establishing a client-server TCP/IP socket connection by making one of the client as temporary socket-server]
Thanks in advance.

two clients (via TCP/IP sockets in Java). The clients can discover each other using an intermediate server.If you only have 2 clients, it's hardly worth putting a server between them; a client 'discovering' the server is as much work as one client discovering the other.

No Airport connection with Tiger

I have the iMac listed below, and a new MacBook Pro. I was having trouble with our home network through our modem and router (Speedstream and Dlink respectively) so I switched over to a 2wire modem/router HomePortal. I did the switch over with the Pro, everything worked great, both hardwired and wireless. I then went to put in the WEP password on the iMac and it says that there was an error in joining the specified network. After trying a few things that I knew, I decided to bypass the wireless and use the longest ethernet cord I had...however, even when plugged into the 2wire, my iMac will not act like it is connected. Network Diagnostics says that I am not connected to either the internet or any modem. When I try to get into the 2wire with its address, I come up with nothing.
When I do all the same things with my Pro, everything works fine. A friend told me to switch the encryption back to WPA, or upgrade my iMac to Leopard because he had the same problems and they all went away once switched over to Leopord. But went I checked the 2wire, its only option is to either disable the encryption or use different bit options of WEP. I'd rather not disable the security, but that seems to be one of my last options, bar upgrading to Leopard, or getting a Time Capsule, which I've been thinking about.

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.

Error -14910 when trying to connect to network server

A user has a brand new (2 weeks old) Mac Pro 3.00GHZ quad running 8GB RAM that has started acting very strangelly this morning. I will break it down as it happened...
- When logging on, it brought up the connect to server dialogue BEFORE the log on screen. It would not allow us to cancel the screen for ages, but eventually the third restart cleared that.
- As soon as we logged on, it connected automatically to the server (without prompting for any password). From within apps, it was as if the server was not there, but a second connect would make the folders available. When trying to disconnect the first instance of the server, it prompted for an admin password and then said it was unable to disconnect.
- Ran a permission repair, which cleared that issue but presented me with a far worse issue...The user can no longer connect to the server with his username; Error -14910
- I then tried a whole bunch of other usernames to connect to the server but all failed. EVENTUALLY I was able to connect using the server's admin account, but obviously this is not ideal for my user.
Other info: OS 10.4.7 on Mac Pro and Server
Server is an XServe
I can supply any more information needed, This is urgent, so any help at all gratefully recieved

How to configure address-2-name mappings in Tiger Server ?

Our primary name server is Debian Linux (thank God). On this box we have address-2-name mappings file. We are using Tiger server as secondary(slave) name server. In the Secondary Zones tab, I entered zone names and their primary name server (debian). Tiger server is acting as secondary name server. But we want to create address-2-name mappings also on this server. How to do this on Tiger Server ? I tried manually creating the file. Everything worked fine. But when I open DNS GUI and added a new Secondary Zone, manually added file is gone. Appreciate any help.

Secondary zones are pulled from a master server.
If you want this machine to have its own zone of hostnames you need to create a primary zone entry, not a secondary zone.
For the primary zone you define the zone name then add the appropriate hostname entries with their corresponding IP addresses.

OSB to MQ, using Foreign Server

Hi All,
I am working on OSB to MQ connectivity, using Foreign Server. I was able to establish the connectivity using Sun JDK 1.6. However when I JRockit 1.6 is used, connectivity is not working. There are stuck threads in Weblogic, when weblogic has to invoke the MQ Jars. Any suggestions, will be greatly appreciated.
Regards.

Hi
Thats very strange behavioural diffrerence between Sun & Jrockit.
Take it you have gone through the stuck threads and realised threads were marked stuck when trying to invoke / load MQ jars? can you copy the stuck threads referring that please.
Have you tried loading those MQ jars in the classpath of the server .. That way all the necessary jars/classes will be available local to the instance
and can be located by classloader without much delay.

How can I connect airport extremes using a wired-switch connection and have roaming capability?

My goal is to have 2 airport extremes and 1 timecapule connected via an ethernet switch so that I can enable roaming. I have no problems connecting them wirelessly where I create the wireless network on a primary airport wireless then add the others "extending" the network. However, if I attempt to do the same thing with a wired connection everything stops working (no connections from any airport). Here's the topology I'm trying to achieve. I believe my problem relates to the switch and the fact that I am serving up DHCP from a separate server. Is there a way I can achieve this (or similar) type of configuration? Thanks in advance.
BTW, I have read the various documents on the roaming network topology but none seem to be a match to this.

To answer your question, yes, if I _only_ have the main "create wireless network" airport connected/wired to the switch, everything works correctly.
OK, got that.
Also, if I have each of the 3 airports/timecapsule "create wireless network" using the same ssid name and passwd/protocol, everything works correctly (but of course, no roaming under this scenario
Sorry, you have me confused on this one. When the AirPorts are all configured to "create a wireless network", use the same SSID, security and password, and all AirPorts are in Bridge Mode........that is the exact definition of a "roaming" network.
Not sure what you mean when you say "no roaming" in this configuration.
Also, if I have the main "create wireless network" configured and have the 2 other airports "extend the network" and _not_ have them connected via the ethernet cable, everything works correctly (wireless airport interconnection)
That is correct.
However, if I plug the 2 other "extend the network" airports into the switch via ethernet, all connectivity shuts down.
This is not a correct setup. The "extend" setting on the AirPort assumes that they will connect using wireless. If you then try to connect an Ethernet cable to an AirPort that is expecting a wireless connection, that will result in a big feedback loop and effectively crash the network.

Leopard Clients Take 10 Minutes to Connect to Tiger 10.4.11 Server

I have a single Tiger server OS X 10.4.11, on a LAN with 5 Tiger Clients and 2 Leopard clients, all with up-to-date patches.
My problem is, that ALL of the Tiger clients can access any of the server shares almost instantaneously, but when I try to connect a Leopard client the the server, it initially takes a minimum of 10 minutes! If I just click on the server <as displayed on the Finder SHARED tab>, the connection eventually fails. However, if I click on the "Connect as" button, after about 10 minutes, I get the user/password login, and the Leopard client connects immediately, and all the data on all the share points are accessible.
But, if I don't actually mount a share point (i.e. see a the Network drive icon on the desktop), and use finder column mode to navigate through the shares, if I click on a local drive in the same finder window, I have to go through the whole 10 minute wait again before I see the user/password login.
So my question:
Why is it taking a minimum of 10 minutes for the Leopard clients to connect, where as the Tiger clients connect immediately?
So, if anyone can help me trouble shoot or resolve the server settings so that the Leo clients can connect as quickly as the Tiger clients, I would be extremely grateful.
BTW - I followed the setup instructions precisely as per the Linda.com *+Mac OS X Server v10.4 Tiger Essential Training+* CD.
TIA

Turn this off for all sharepoints. If you have no Bonjour-only printers -like some of those POS HP color Laserjet 26xx or 36xx series- enter this in Terminal.app or through the 'Send UNIX command...' in ARD to all of your Leopard clients:
launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
user should be root if sent from ARD, prepend 'sudo' (without quotes) if in Terminal.app or if you're using an admin username from ARD. This turns off Bonjour.
Also, in WGM, look at each individual user account and see if the 'Primary Group ID' is listed in the 'Other Groups' list. If it's not, click the '+' sign and drag the user's primary group into the 'Other Groups' list and then save. You can 'shift-click' and select groups of users and add the group to them all at once if they are all in the same groups.
Access:
Authentication=Standard
Change the access to 'Any Method'. If your clients are all bound to the OD master and the sharepoints are listed in the directory (meaning Kerberos SSO works for all clients and users), the clients will try Kerberos first and anything else -like DHX authentication- if that fails. Also, if you are managing your clients with MCX you should have those shares mounting before log-in -meaning at startup- using guest access or at login with the username/pass.

There was a problem connecting to the server "AirPort Time Capsule".

I bought a new Macbook air and a 2TB Airport Time Capsule. I currently use the ATC for time machine, and external storage of Itunes & Iphoto libraries.
Everything was beautiful until the other day when I got the following :
There was a problem connecting to the server "Airport Time Capsule".
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
I still have internet connection, and have tried other suggestions across internet but really the only fix has been to power cycle the ATC. This unfortunately is only a temporary remedy for a day or so until it returns.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Can not connect using Server Admin - server running.

Hi there, can anyone help me?
I am running OSX Server Tiger on a Mac Pro G5. It has worked perfectly for several years.
Suddenly I cannot connect to the server using Server Admin either locally or remotely - the machine continues to function perfectly. The only problem is that I can not make any changes and I am nervous! I would prefer not to reformat and reinstall.
I did have some network problems a while ago which meant that I changed some IP numbers manually, and I installed and de-installed an ADSL modem.
I am hoping that deleting a library here or there will solve the problem. Any ideas?
Thanks, Drew

Last time this happened to me I deleted the server from Server Admin and re-added it
