OS 10.4.4- Classic - I'm getting a "Connection Failed" Alert

This problem started out of the blue... running OS 10.4.4 with Classic, I'm getting an alert "Connection Failed This file served is running on your machine. Please access the volume and files locally." BEFORE Classic finishes loading. I click the "OK" button and all is well - UNTIL I print from Classic - then I get it again. (Mainly from Pagemaker 6.5) Sometimes when I click "OK", it just goes away, and the document prints... other times, it repeats and I have to take Classic out.
I have checked my Network settings, my Classic settings, and my Sharing settings - all to no avail.
HELP! This is driving me crazy! At some points, I have to reboot in OS 9.2.2, and run everything from there - YUK!
Hints, tricks, advice???

Well, with some minor changes, I've succeeded in getting my alert to go away.
I did all the usual stuff--ran cron scripts, repaired permissions (even OS 9), etc but without luck. Still got the alert when booting classic with extensions off so I figured the problem had to be on the OS X side of things. I stopped all file sharing services (personal, windows, web, etc) and rebooted classic--voila! No alert. I then turned on sharing services one at a time and rebooted classic with each change to check the effect. I was able to turn my original sharing services (personal and windows) back on without the alert returning.
I don't know why this worked, but hope it will work for you.

  • In Firefox version 37.0 getting Secure Connection Failed config parameter version.fallback-limit set to 3. Does this support TLS 1.0 .

    In FF 37.0 getting secure connection failed connecting to a website. Works fine in previous version. Config parameter version.fallback-limit default setting is 3. In previous version the default setting was 1. Does the setting version.fallback-limit to 3 mean only TLS1.2 is supported. Any help is appreciated.
    Secure Connection Failed
    The connection to xxxx.xxx.com was interrupted while the page was loading.
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
    Thx,

    The website may try to fallback to TLS 1.0 in a way that is no longer allowed in current releases or may be using a deprecated cipher suite.
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar and use its search bar to locate this pref:
    *security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts
    You can double-click the line to modify the pref and add the domain (full domain) to this pref.
    If there are already websites (domains) in this list then add a comma and the new domain (no spaces).
    You should only see domains separated by a comma in the value column.

  • I recently bought an external hard drive and attached it to a wireless modem router. The problem is that i can't access it from my macbook. I get a "connection failed" and "the server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally".

    Well I believe I described the problem above. I want only to add that the external hard drive is a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Drive 1TB and the wireless modem router is a Belkin N Plus (model F5D8635-4 v1). Also, in the finder window under "shared" I see a "belkinserver" and when I click it, it says "connection failed". If I click "connect as" I get the "the server "belkinserver" is available on your computer..." which I mentioned above. I tried to connect macbook via ethernet to the modem router and then when I typed "smb://belkinserver" it immediately prompted me for a username and a password and when I typed them finally I got to enter the contents of the hard drive! So what's the problem wirelessly? 

    If your external drive does not have an independent power supply, you may wish to consider a couple of lower-cost options before tossing the drive. Bus-powered drives have no external power source and must get all their power from the computer. They can exceed the computer's USB energy budget.
    Cheapest option:
    1 Meter USB 2.0 A to 5 Pin Mini B Cable - Auxiliary USB "Y" Power Design for external hard drives.
    This gets power from two of the computers USB porst sna can provide enough power to wake up an under-performaing bus-powered drive.
    If you don't have enough ports to use this, try the next cheapest option:
    Newer Technology 7 Port Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Hub with Power Adapter for Mac & PC
    Such a hub has a an independent power supply to make up for wahat the comptuer fails to provide.

    Hi,
    Can you please try tracing the FaultEvent.fault.rootCause
    object and see if there is any error message. Usually exceptions
    thrown from the server is available in this rootCause object.
    Hope this helps.

  • What is wrong when I keep getting "Secure Connection Failed" message?

    Why am I getting the msg "Secure Connection Failed" on most sites I used to be able to access before power outage?

    Rename (or delete) secmod.db (secmod.db.old) and maybe also cert8.db (cert8.db.old) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case there is a problem with the files.
    The file ''cert8.db'' stores your user certificates, so if you have user certificates then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.
    See Tools > Options > Advanced > Encryption: Certificates: View Certificates
    If that works then you can delete the renamed files or undo the changes if you want to revert the process.

  • On attempting to connect to my router's configuration interface, I get Secure Connection Failed

    When connecting to my local router's configuraton webpage, I get a "Secure Connection Failed" Error message. "The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." No SSL error is shown, so I am unable to track it further. I just did a full distribution upgrade but it appears that Seamonkey also exhibits this behavior as well. Restarting safe mode did nothing, so I am at a loss.

    Sounds that your router doesn't send a full certificate chain that ends with a Firefox built-in root certificate.
    Check out why the site is untrusted (click "Technical Details to expand that section) and if this is caused by a missing intermediate certificate then see if you can install this intermediate certificate from another source.
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

  • Trying to setup email account - getting "server connection failed"

    I'm hoping someone out there can help me setup a POP account on my iphone. My host where the email account is based says it supports POP and/or IMAP, but I've tried to create a new account on the iphone with both methods and get the same message each time. The error says:
    Server Connection Failed
    The certificate for [email protected] may be invalid.
    I just setup the same email account in my microsoft outlook and it works fine. Any thoughts???

    Same problem here. We are running Exchange 2007 at my school and all I want is to get my mail sent to my iphone. I have no need to sync my iphone to my school computer.

  • I get "secure connection failed" pop-up (dialog) every 3 secs! ugh!

    To connect to WiFi at a certain location, the router is setup to first automatically send me to a login page before I am allowed to go anywhere else on the internet.
    All fine and dandy, except that I usually leave GMail open in my browser, which is setup to ping it's server evry 3 sec or so! When the GMail ping is redirected to the WiFi login page however, I get a stupid pop-up dialog telling me that the security certificate (of the WiFi provider) is for a different server than GMail. DUH!
    This dialog blocks my entire browser functionality in the background, even as I'm in the middle of authenticating myself into the WiFi server.
    Bottom-line, Mozilla/Firefox makes me continuously close dialog boxes instead of helping me get faster on the internet. I cannot add an exception for the case where I'm redirected, because ANY webpage would be redirected, so I'd need an exception for everything.
    Now, the WiFi provider and GMail could definitely modify some settings to prevent this, but in the end it's not their problem!
    My browser should not block me with pop-ups I MUST click on, at the worst it should just take me to an error page until the problem is fixed (i.e. I am logged in to WiFi).
    I know this is a Firefox bug (since ~ year 2000 if I'm not mistaken), so PLEASE tell me how to get rid of this pop-up dialog at any security risk for me whatsoever, because I'd rather connect to internet unsafely than not be able to do it at all!
    P.S. I already have in about:config
    browser.ssl_override_behavior;2
    browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert;true
    ... to no avail!

    Long before I had this prob. I corrected my system time that showed 6 years back to 2005 year. The prob was solved. Hope this helps u too.

  • Get Secure Connection Failed- Error code: ssl_error_unsafe_negotiation-signing into ebay & halifax bank using 3.6 and tried suggestions posted here.Advised by sites to contact Firefox tech help.?

    Further details on Error message include:
    # The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    # Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
    I can get ebay site up but cannot sign in to my personal account
    I cannot even get halifax site up
    I have already reported 'broken site'
    These sites give no bother when using IE but Firefox is my preferred browser (for now anyway)

    ls -l /var/run/lighttpd/
    And how are you spawning the php instances? I don't see that in the daemons array anywhere.
    EDIT: It looks like the info in that page is no longer using pre-spawned instances, but lighttpd adaptive-spawn. The documentation has been made inconsistent it looks like.
    You will note that with pre-spawned information, the config looks different[1].
    You need to do one or the other, not both (eg. choose adaptive-spawn, or pre-spawn..not both).

  • I keep getting a connection failed error message from mail every time my computer goes to sleep, is shut down and/or I change network connections?

    Mail mail was working fine for months but now I keep getting an error message every time my computer shuts down or even goes to sleep.   I get the exclamation point error and when I try to reconnect it always falis.   My internet connection is fine and nothing else is losing connections.   The only way to fix it is to shut down mail completely and restart which fixes the connection every time, but it's getting really frustrating have to constantly shut down mail and restart it just to use my email.

    Bump ???

  • Is anyone else getting a "connection failed" error when trying to download iOS 5.1?

    I am trying to download iOS 5.1 and I get the same error on all of my devices: check network connection. Does anyone have a fix? I can access the Internet, download music, movies, and apps, and I am running iOS 5 but it will not let me download the update.

    There must be something with loation, a lot of complaints since the release, but I downloaded and installed on an iPad in 12 minutes and an iPhone 4 in 6 minutes this afternoon on the East Coast of the US.

  • I am trying to access va.gov and keep getting secure connection failed message, this is a Veterans Administration site, WHY?

    this is a United States government website. (OK you can stop laughing now) Specifically a Veterans Administration website for veterans to monitor and keep up on their health status , keep in touch with their Dr and other related topics. does this mean there is no security document for this site. how can I stop getting this message?

    Are you having this problem on your Windows 8.1 system?
    There can be many causes of certificate errors. If you expand the Technical Details section of the error page (assuming there is one), what is the explanation there? You could copy/paste that section into a reply.
    I don't know my way around the site to investigate further. This page works for me: https://www.myhealth.va.gov/index.html

  • Getting "Secured Connection Failed" error message on a website that always worked previously

    Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?
    It is possible that the website uses a deprecated RC4 cipher suite.
