Trouble Connecting G5 to Server on Company Network

We have 2 Networks that are connected via VPN between the firewalls. The G5 is connected to our network (#1) and is trying to connect to a server on the other Network (#2). There are a number of servers that it connect to already on the Network #2.
When we try to connect through Go>Connect to Serverand click on Browse we can see the server we can want to connect to (pings on both sides also show comeback good) When we enter in the SMB path with the Share we are trying to connect to and click connect it states: Connecting then states that there is a wrong password and/or user name. Any other server connection there is a prompt for the user name and password for this particular on there is not. We are also not using the Password Keys. What could be causing this?

This sounds more like an issue with the network you are on than an EAS issue, I know there is an issue with slow opening objects in EAS which has been addressed in an EAS patch.
If EAS performs well when logged directly into the server then you probably need to focus your attention on the network side.

  • We're having trouble connecting to the server

    HI,
    We install SharePoint 2013 on Azure and were using it from clients via vpn connection to our Azure virtual Net.
    When trying to edit or add office document from the client  we get this error: "we're having trouble connecting to the server..."
    sometimes will get the "document is locked ..." which is typical for a document which is still locked by office , I guess its all related to some connection failure from the office client.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to edit or add office document from the client.
    Usually a file is locked when a particular user has ‘checked out’ the file for editing purposes. A write lock is created so that no other user can edit this file simultaneously.
    There can be numerous reasons for this such as:
             1.    System crashes while the file is still open.
             2.    File has been closed unexpectedly.
             3.    Check in was not successful.
             4.    Network connection is lost while file is still open.
    In most of the cases, the write lock still exist for the file so its gives an editing error.
    To resolve the issue, you follow the steps in the article as below:

  • How do I get connected to a server on my network via an IP address?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    I am new to Mac...How do I get connected to a server on my network via a hyper link IP address path?  When I try to open in a URL and login as a registered user with proper login it errors out saying there was a problem with connecting to the server?

    Some of the following is going to use some technical terms — this area is inherently somewhat technical. 
    If you don't understand some part of the following reply, please ask.
    Is this your own OS X Server system on your own network, or is this some other server within some larger organization? 
    You're posting this in the OS X Server forum, which is a software package that allows OS X systems to provide web-based and many other services; to become servers.
    If it's your OS X Server on your network, then the network and DNS configurations are suspect, or the server is somehow malfunctioning or misconfigured.   This is unfortunately fairly common, as some folks do try to avoid setting up DNS services.
    If it's a larger organization and somebody else is managing the server and the network, then you'll probably need to contact the IT folks for assistance; to learn the network setup and DNS requirements, and if there's a problem with the server itself.
    The basic web URL "hyper link IP address path" — without using DNS — usually looks something the following, where you'll need to replace 10.20.30.40 with the IP address of your server:
    http://10.20.30.40
    UptimeJeff has posted a URL that specifies the AFP file system; an OS X file share.  That's used if you're connecting to an Apple storage service somewhere on your network.  You might alternatively need to specify smb://10.20.30.40 or such, if it's a Windows file server.  (There can be additional requirements for connecting to Windows Server systems, too.)
    If there's local IT staff available here, please contact them for assistance.  If these are your own local systems and your own local OS X Server system, then some information on the server will be needed.  (If you're on a NAT'd network, you'll also need to get DNS services configured and working on your local OS X Server system and your network — you'll not be able to skip this step and reference ISP DNS servers here — or things can and usually will get weird.)

  • Hi, My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network!??

    Hi,
    My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network.  It identifies my wireless connection but then says 'unable to join the network' with the word 'Dismiss' underneath.  Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks!!

    Hi
    Thanks for your reply.  I've tried resetting a few times. There is no 'tick' next to the name of my wireless connection so it won't connect at all.  I think I may have to do something with my router as there is an arrow button to press next to my wireless name, this takes me to a screen which asks for IP address, then has options for DHCP   BootP and Static, it asks for Client ID DNS etc - all gobbledegook to me!!   Perhaps my router is blocking the Ipod?
    Thanks anyway!

  • I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server.

    I'm being shown an error pop-up message periodically saying "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type 'file:' are not supported." I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
    Thank you!

    Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
    I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

  • We are having trouble connecting to the server-sign in lync 2013

    hello all,
    I'm trying to sign in to my lync from my host , all my work is virtual . 
    under certificate trusted root i put my CA but when i try to connct i have the error: "we are having trouble connecting to the server" knowing that
    under \etc , i inser @IP_lyncmachine  name_lync_machine  and in the option of  lync i choose manually
    any advice?

    You can run the command netstat –ano with command prompt to check whether port 5061 is listening. You also need to create a firewall policy to allow the traffice through 5061 from the subnet the phisical computer locates to Lync Front End Server

  • Trouble connecting to OSX server from XP domain members

    Can someone help me out with a problem connecting to our OS X server from Windows XP? Basically, I only have trouble connecting from XP machines that are members of the domain.
    Here are some details:
    OS X Server 10.3.9, bound to domain through Active Directory.
    Windows Services role = Domain Member.
    Computer name (under Windows Services) = macserver
    Connects fine from Macs via Network>Domain>macserver
    macserver IP address: 192.168.1.5
    Sharing 1 folder to all members of the domain.
    I can connect fine from OS X computers and XP computers that are NOT members of the domain
    I can connect from XP domain members via the IP address \\192.168.1.5
    I cannot connect from XP domain members via Network Neighborhood>Domain>macserver, or by entering the computer name. Error message recieved: "The account is not authorized to log on from this location."
    I can ping macserver from any xp machine and it resolves the IP address.
    I can browse the webserver on OSX Server via http://macserver.
    Any thoughts?

  • Trouble connecting to Lion server AFP shares after changing server's hostname

    Hello everyone,
    I recently changed hostname of my Lion server box (via Server application) and now my clients are having a problem when trying to connect to its AFP shares via aliases. It takes 160 seconds of "resolving alias to <sharename>" before it finally works. Aliases were created by navigating to the server, connecting with "Connect As", providing valid credentials, then navigating one level up and dragging the share icon (blue disk with three white people outlines) to the Desktop with Option-Command.
    What is interesting, if I create a new account on a client machine, create an alias, and click on it - it works without any delay, as it was for the clients that are having problems now; so I'm assuming some details about the previous server name got cached somewhere.
    The clients with long delay problems can access the shares quickly if they click on the server in the Finder window drawer, then "Connect As" and provide their login credentials - it works instantly then.
    I've been digging around quite a bit (deleting Keychain saved Network passwords for any and all references to the server I could find), and also by looking at kerberos logs on the server. What is interesting, the newly created clients I mention above who don't have delay with connecting, don't leave any records in the kerberos log file; but the ones that have 160 second delay do - there's nothing for 160 seconds, and then there is a flurry of activity, as the connection is finally established.
    When a client who has trouble connecting uses the "Connect As" method described above, entries in the Kerberos log are created instantly when client clicks connect.
    Probably also worth noting that renaming of the server was related to me setting up Open Directory on it.
    Any pointers would be greatly apprecited.

    I experienced almost exactly the problems you described. I also found that connecting via command line using mount_afp worked right away... and once the connection is established, mounting via finder was super fast.
    Tried all kinds of craziness on the client, even a full Time Machine restore.
    Tried fixing Open Directory.
    I was absolutely stumped by what was happening, but then thought, Hmm. I'm wondering if it's related to MobileMe going down? I noticed it started to happen after July 31...
    Success! That was it! Signing out of MobileMe in System Preferences made everything work the way it should!
    CDPlayer2: check if the clients are signed in to MobileMe, and if signing out fixes things - I'd appreciate it if you could post your results. Thanks.

  • Cannot connect to my Server across my network

    Hi
    I have a Mac Mini with Snow Leopard Server preinstalled.
    At this stage, I need my server only to be available on the local network and I am not part of a larger organisation. We have run an informal network in the past through our wireless router but want to use the server within this network mainly for file and print sharing, calendar, contacts and wiki sharing.
    So, the network is as follows:
    Wireless router provides access to the outside world, and provides IP addresses as subnets to the other macs and PCs. All the machines can see each other currently and can share files (permission dependent of course).
    I have setup the new server and it has been given an IP address by the router. When asked to provide a domain name, as we don't currently want to point our internet domain towards this server, I followed the suggestion in the Getting Started guide and entered myserver.private.
    I have activated all services except mail and VPN as I don't intend to host my mail internally and I am not ready to use VPN just yet.
    All the other machines can now see the server - its name shows on all the finders and explorers. However, when we attempt to connect to it, Finder reports Not Connected.
    The admin user for the server is the same as my user on my iMac, but when I attempt to connect my user to the server from the iMac (via the Accounts dialog in System Preferences setting Login Options and connect to Network Account Server), I receive an error stating that the server name cannot resolve. The error number is 2200 - Could not resolve the address. I have tried putting the IP address of the server in as well as the name, but no joy.
    What am I missing? What else do I need to do?
    Thanks in anticipation. Used to support Unix servers machines in the early 90s. But can't remember!

    Here's what worked for me. Sounds like my office is similar to yours.
    By default, the router acquires DHCP onfo from the ISP, including the address of the ISP's DNS servers. By default, each workstation acquires DHCP info (including DNS addresses) from your Router. That means that by default, your workstations contact the ISP's DNS servers directly. Nothing is telling them about the existance of your server, and many of their functions won't see it and won't work properly.
    You have a choice, you can manually configure each workstation to point to your server for their DNS, or you can manually configure the router to hand out your server's address for DNS.
    I prefer the second option, since it requires zero configuration of the workstations, which also means that any time a new workstation comes into your office (laptops, iPhones, etc.) the system just works. Less deskside support burden for you. The workstations contact the router for their DHCP handshake, and are told by the router to contact your server for all DNS inquiries.
    On the server, obviously, you need to make sure that DNS is working correctly. That includes, manually entering your ISPs DNS servers (or any other DNS server you trust, like OpenDNS, Google DNS, etc.) in the Server Admin DNS Settings as the lookup servers (these go in the confusingly named "Forwarder IP Addresses"). Entering multiple external internet DNS servers in this box is acceptable, so you have some "failover" abilities.
    Also, on the server, in System Preferences, you should manually configure the DNS options to point to the server itself. That means that when any random process running on the server needs a DNS lookup, it will use the DNS server running on the server to resolve it.
    The downside of this approach I have described above is that if your server is ever shutdown, none of the macs will "see" the internet. Their macs will go to your server for their DNS inquiries, and receive no response, and get strange errors (timeouts). It means taht if you ever have to do server maintenance, you'll probably have to do it on nights or weekends, or temporarily change your router's DNS settings to point to the outside world DNS servers while your own server is down, and then change the router back afterwards. My server uptime has been very good so far, and this hasn't been a problem at my office.

  • Trouble connecting to my Airport (Timecapsule) wireless network from PC

    I have a wireless airport network running from a Time Capsule. I know the name and the network password and have no trouble connecting to the network from my 3 Mac computers. However, I recently tried to connect a Toshiba notebook running Windows XP and can't seem to get it to connect to the network. It does see the network and prompts for a WEP password. I enter the password but after about 10 seconds the connection attempt fails. Please help if you have any idea, I am sure this is a simple fix, but I need to access a website that is only available with Explorer 7. Thank you in advance for your help.

    The Time Capsule only supports WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise security not WEP. So I assume that's the issue here.
    A quick search suggests that WPA2 is not standard in XP (at least XP SP2) but can be added see [here|http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/expert/bowman_wirelesss ecurity.mspx].
    But also see [here|http://tech.ifelix.net/1011.html], [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1622794&tstart=0], and [here|http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/2002.html] which you can work around this with the correct settings on the Windows side.

  • Mail.app doesn't hava connection with imap server when changing network.

    Ive got a strange problem after upgrading OSX from 10.6.8 to 10.8.4.
    I have got a xserve, with osx 10.6.8. (mail) server installed on it.
    When i am in the office (LAN) mail works just fine. if iam home and wake my macbook from sleeping i see in the mail app the attention mark telling my something is wrong with the mail account.
    If i open the connection doctor it say's can't connect to IMAP server. if i check my iOS devices there is nothing wrong, everything is working and i can send/recieve mail. on iOS and OSX the settings are the same with SSL enabled and password type.
    When i tried to telnet the mailserver address with the IMAP or SMTP port i get a connection. so, there is no firewall blokking my connection.
    But now the strange thing when i quit my mail.app and start it again the mail gets connection again. So is there a problem when changing networks when the Mail.App is stil active?

    That's just to bad, will it be solved in a future release of OSX?
    I don't know... maybe Apple will force me migrating to Mavaricks.
    it seems that although w'r using DNS, the outside ip gets remebered or the connection isn't closed down properly when putting the macbook to sleep.
    I can try offcource to configure the outside LANip (Non dns) in my mail client.
    I will post with results..

  • Trouble connecting older Gateway desktop to home network

    Hi all-
    I am trying to connect an older Gateway 5200s desktop (that we have used for internet previously) to my current home network, but I'm not getting any internet connectivity.
    Home router is Actiontec M1424 wr rev E.
    the old Gateway uses Windows XP Prof v 2002 SP3
    The wireless network adapter is 1394 Net Adapter and also the Intel R pro/100 VE network connection
    (the Intel adapter says a "network cable is unplugged" and I never knew what that meant- connections have worked in the past)
    My current home system is a Dell desktop running Windows Vista home
    The old Gateway is up and running, but I just cant seem to figure out what the internet connection problem is.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Did you connect wirelessly before with this machine?  Whose wireless adapter is the 1394 network adapter? - typically that means a firewire adapter that is not wireless.

  • Troubles connecting on to server

    Hey
    I convinced my family into buying an airport extreme recently so we can watch the movies we download wirelessly but recently i can't connect to the airport from my mac book. on finder when i try to connect i get this message. what do i do for troubleshooting?
    There was an error connecting to the server "My server". Check the server name or IP address, then try again.
    If you are unable to resolve the problem contact your system administrator.

    We download movies off the internet on to external hard drives then play them off the airport... it's more of a storage and convenience thing really plus it has the wireless internet thats why we have it like this

  • Trying to restore ipod from icloud backup "trouble connecting to the server"

    I'm attempting to restore my son's iPod Touch from his iCloud backup. It's connecting to WiFi just fine, then I tell it that I need to restore from iCloud backup, and it asks me to sign him in.
    When I sign him in, it seems to accept it, then goes to the "Birthday" screen and asks for his birthday. When I put in his correct birth date, it then takes me to the "Terms and Conditions" screen, and I accept that.
    The very next thing I see is a popup that says "Could Not Sign In. There was a problem connecting to the server."
    Every time. No explanation of what this means.
    I apologize if this has been answered already, but I've googled it and searched it in these forums for days with no real luck.
    Anyone who can help, I appreciate it!

    After two hours I learned that they "birthday" question is a creating a bug on itunes account server. In order to fix this problem you will need to go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and put another birthday date that is not the original birthday date you submitted. Pick a birthday that allows you to update your account. As soon as you do that and save it to your account the problem seems to be fixed.
