Trouble sharing files/networking

I have three macs in my house running 10.4 (not all machines are running the same build, should that matter?). I have a Mac mini, and ibook conected via Airport, and one intel Mac Pro connected via Ethernet. I can connect the ibook to the mini and vice versa via "connect to server" and typing in IP address. I cannot however connect to any other computer from my Mac Pro. I can ping my Mac Pro from my ibook and mini but I cannot ping out from my Mac Pro.
Any idea what I'm missing here?
Thanks!

We need to configure the Router, usually this requires an Ethernet connection, so on the MacPro, type into Safari's url bar 192.168.0.1, (most likely), and see if the Router's config options come up. Look for someting that's like IP range to hand out, and/or allow Wireless to join Wired Network. Seems everybody uses their own terminology on these routers.
If we had the Brand & Model number of the Router I could help further.
PS. the book & mini could normally only talk/see other computers in the range 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.253, the Pro only computers in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.253

  • Trouble sharing files across networked computers

    I frequently have this problem when trying to copy files from my MBP at home to my PowerMac at work and vice versa. Regardless of how the connection between the two machines is made (smb, MobileMe), when I try to copy a file or folder, I get a message saying 'You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named "filename.xxx".'
    I am the administrator for both machines, and I am logged in to both as the administrator when this message occurs.
    At this point, I have buttons giving me the option to Stop or Continue. Clicking Continue brings up a message saying 'The item "filename.xxx" contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?'
    Again I have the option to Stop or Continue. Clicking Continue gives me the message 'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.' This message comes up even though I am logged in as the administrator on both machines and I have made sure that I've got read & write privileges for that file.
    At this point, I'm stymied. This occurs whether I'm attempting to transfer a single file, a folder, or an archive. I've adjusted sharing preferences on both machines so that I specifically have full privileges for both the source and target folders as well as the file(s) being moved. Both machines are running OSX 10.5.8.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance -

    Hi Keven - just wanted to chime in that I can replicate this error on a nearly identically configured setup as yours, but like you, have no substantive response (yet) from Apple. In fact, my post disappeared. The only thing I see, perusing the forums, is that people are recommending Snow Leopard upgrade to solve numerous networking issues. I realize this is not a satisfactory answer. I will stay subscribed to your post and will let you know if Apple comes back to me with a good response as well.

  • Regarding reading the shared file(network) file?

    hello,
    We have LAN Network. Can I read the another system's folder file using java program?
    How can I give the path name of the file?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can check the mode in which you are reading the file
    from application server that is

  • Trouble "sharing" file from dataset

    After pulling the submitted forms into a data set our user needs to  share them via email. She uses the Share tool in Adobe and sets it to  attach email.  This used to work fine but recently she is encountering a  bunch of problems. The file will not attach when it launches Outlook  2010. Often times it is causing Adobe to crash and shutdown. We have  tried to run the repair Acrobat  Installation.  This occasionally will  work for 2 or 3 files and then stops working again. This morning we  tried the repair but it didn't help.

    However, I still don't understand what the problem is that you're describing. What is this YT window that tells you it is Quick Time? When does it appear? Is it an error message? Quick Time movies are compatible with YT. It's the container I always use with h.264 and I never have any problems.
    Hi Russ,
    The window I reference is the FCPx window that appears when I go File>share>youtube At the bottom of this FCPx window there is a line where I see icons and numbers. Toward the right, just above the "cancel" and "next" buttons, I read "QuickTime" movie.
    When I click to share the video, it goes through the normal steps and appears to be uploading. Just at the end of the uploading process, all of a sudden, I receive an error message about "invalid file format".
    I'm puzzled because this issue has happened only with my last two videos, but it never happened before.

  • Trouble sharing files with friends

    Hi
    Me and a friend are trying to share Garageband files but we keep getting problems like tracks or effect missing. Anyone else had a similar issue? He's got a G5 imac and I've got an intel. Is this the problem?

    The PPC/intel shouldn't be an issue.
    The first thing you should do is use Save As Archive before giving the file to one another.
    The next thing is that if either of you have an effect that the other doesn't have, it won't just appear on the other person's machine. You need to both have the same effects available.

  • Windows 7 computers asking for network password to access shared files and printers on Windows XP PRO computer.

    I have a network of 10 computers configured as peer-to-peer work group. I have upgraded one of the ten from Windows XP PRO to Windows 7 PRO. The other nine computers are all running XP PRO. AS near as I can tell they are all configured the same. I have the
    same user and same passwords on all computers. One of XP computers is used as a print server. The Windows 7 computer initially was able to access shared files and printers on all XP machines with out requesting a network password.
    Suddenly, the Win 7 computer began requesting a network password to access the shared files and printers on the XP print server. It will not accept any of the user names or passwords (all administrators on both machines with identical names and passwords.)
    The Win 7 computer has no problem accessing the shared files on the other XP machines. It can even access shared printers in a different work group. Apparently something has changed but I'm at my wits end trying to figure what changed on either the Windows
    7 machine or the print server XP machine.
    I would appreciate any help. Thank you

    Hi Sig,
    The issue is that i only want the shared folders to be accessed through windows 7.
    Whats the point otherwise to have shared folders?

  • Problems loading a text-file from a shared NT network order

    Hi @ all,
    I try to upload a text file in MII that is destinated in a shared order in the NT file network.
    I used text_loader with URL FILE://SERVERNAME/SHARE/input.txt and I get the error message "connection refused" even if I use credentials with an authorised user.
    Do you have any idea why it does not work?
    Thanks in advance!
    Sebastian

    Hi,
    For this you need to use FTP Input Action. Put all the files(you want to upload to MII) are in shared network into your FTP server.
    Then use the FTP related actions in transaction. This is the best way.
    Also see the similar [Thread|Re: Saving a file to an external system from MII server] and [Help|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mii121/helpdata/en/44/710ca09ea03abee10000000a155369/content.htm]

  • No longer able to access shared files on my pc over my network from my mac

    For months I have been able to access my shared files folder located on my pc, sharing a network with my PowerBook G4 (OS X 10.3 +). Suddenly, when I try to access the pc now, I get the spinning beachball and nothing. I can see my pc in the network, but it doesn't open. I haven't made any changes on the pc side, except perhaps the windows security updates that come along once in a while. (I did try to access it with the firewall turned off just in case, but no dice).
    Does anyone have any ideas or things I could try to shake this out?

    Adobe Story stores its local files on the following location:
    On Windows,
    1. Open Windows Explorer and type '%appdata%' in the address bar
    2. Make a copy of 'com.adobe.AdobeStory.<some-number>' folder. This folder contains Story's local data.
    On Mac,
    1. Open Finder.
    2. From 'Go' Menu, open 'Go to folder'
    3. Type '~/Library/Preferences' and hit enter
    4. Make a copy of 'com.adobe.AdobeStory.<some-number>' folder. This folder contains Story's local data.

  • Unable to access shared files over network after period of time.

    First off, I don't think that this issue is related to our router, but I have been searching for a fix and can not find one. We have a WRT54GS. Now, on to our issue:
    At my work, we have a small network with computers sharing files between the others. I have attached a network diagram to help explain this better.
    Our Win7 machine is our main computer that shares an external hard drive with much information that the other computers need to access. What we have noticed is either after a sleep, or even a period of time of say, 2 hours, those files are no longer able to be accessed. The Win7 machine is still sharing them, but the WinXP machines are unable to access them anymore and my Mac can see the computer is unable to connect to the folders. I have gone and attempted to get some help over at Microsofts site but that was a fail. Here is the link to the forum post there. http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/thread/f0a2e8d6-f75a-41d7-a280-c6f3adbffa...
    A member there gave me this:
    The Network connection is probably not resuming after sleep. 
    First try this, http://www.ezlan.net/Win7/power_save_win7.jpg
    It is in the Network Connection Properties under the Network card configuration.
    If it already checked this way, or does not work after checking, the Network card has to be taken out of the computer's Power Saving loop, and stay on all the time.
    Otherwise, Updating the Card with the latest OEM drivers (downloaded from the computer's support site) might help too.
    On a rare occasions, some cards might be "Quirky" in this regards and need to be replaced.
    --I would like to add that this DOESN'T ONLY happen after sleep, it also happens after a time of being used.
    I attempted those and no luck. This problem is still occurring and the only way we can fix it is by restarting the Win7 machine. But even if it is being used, we have no idea when those files are unable to be accessed.
    *I will add that the Win7 machine is still able to access the other computers when this problem occurs if that helps.
    **The Win7 machine is a Dell T3500 running Windows 7 64bit. I can provide specific hardware if needed. The drivers are all up to date as of yesterday.
    ***So upon looking in the Windows XP machine, both of the folders from the Win7 machine disappear once this problem occurs in the My Network Places folder. And one folder is on the internal drive, one is on external. The computers are in this situation now where I am unable to access them. The Win7 machine can read and write from the other computers, but the other computers can even see the Win7 Machine.
    ****All the connections are wired and are not using the wireless.
    Thanks for any help that anyone may have for me!

    It sounds like there is incompatibility issue with XP and Win7. To isolate this, do you have another Win7 machine? Try to add it to the network and check if the shared drives are accessible after sleep. If you don't have another computer, try virtual machine and create a Win7 system.
    Update your LAN card driver from the manufacturer's site. Don't use the driver from windows update.
    Lastly, does this happen to your XP machines? Like, one of the XP machine sharing a folder and falls asleep. When it wakes up, does Win7 machine can still access the shared folder?

  • Sharing Files between Mac and PC over a Network

    Greetings,
    I have recently made the switch to the Mac, and I have been so pleased with it ever since! I am getting married soon and my wife-to-be has a Windows XP desktop machine. I have been reading up on the different options on sharing files, and I want to ask if someone with experience can confirm what I think I have discovered.
    1. A person on Windows can read and/or write to a Mac OS X formatted drive only if they run Macdrive.
    2. A person running Windows XP can read files stored on a shared folder on the Mac through network sharing without additional software. But can they write to the shared volume on the Mac??
    Now, I know all about the Mac side of things. It can read NTFS, read/write to FAT/FAT32, connect to Windows computers...etc. I have actually done all these things already, and know how to use them. I just want to make sure that I have the right idea before I go into working in the other direction, from Windows to Mac.
    Thank you for any help that you might offer.

    1. A person on Windows can read and/or write to a Mac OS X formatted drive only if they run Macdrive.
    You don't need Macdrive for sharing files over the network, macdrive is only needed for a PC to read a Mac formatted Hard drive that is directly connected to a PC i.e Firewire Drive.
    2. A person running Windows XP can read files stored on a shared folder on the Mac through network sharing without additional software. But can they write to the shared volume on the Mac??
    Yes you can write to a windows sharepoint on a mac this would be limited to their home folder unless you setup other permissions.
    To setup windows sharepoints your best using a shareware utility called sharepoints

    It does not matter what format hte pc drives are if your sharing over a network you only need to know about formatted drives if they are directly connected to the computer i.e firewire, or usb drives.

  • Sharing Files Over a Network from an External Drive

    I have a Macbook Pro that is running 10.5.6, and I have, recently, acquired another Mac that is running 10.5.6, as well. I decided that I wanted to share some files from my Macbook Pro. The setup for file sharing is a breeze, but I am having some issues. I choose folders from my Macbook Pro's internal drive, and I create two users, "alpha" and "beta." I give alpha privileges to share a folder called "A" and I give beta privileges to share a folder called "B." From my other Mac, I connect to my MBP, and I enter the correct credentials for each user, and "alpha" and "beta" have access to what was assigned to them earlier, respectively, folder "A" and "B."
    Everything seems to be great! However, the issue begins when my external drive comes into play. (It is formatted as Mac OS Extended Journaled.) I select a folder called "C," from my external drive, and give only privileges to user "gamma." I also select a folder called "D," also from my external drive, and only give privileges to user "delta."
    Whenever I login from my other Mac, I find a problem. If I login with "Gamma," I should only be able to view folder "C," but I can also view folder "D!" Whenever I login with "Delta," I should only be able to see folder "D," but I see folder "C," as well. I have fiddled around with many settings, and I have had no success. A few members on my network will be sharing files from my Macbook Pro, and I only want certain members to see certain folders. I've tried this with two different external drives, and they both exhibit the same issue. Is this something that can be fixed?
    Thanks for the help!

    I'm sure that someone has dealt with this. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

  • Networking/Sharing files without login?

    I'd like to network (share files/drives) between two Macs through our Gigabit ethernet network. Both computers have separate logins and files can be shared across the network (provided that one logs into the requested machine in order to gain access to the shared file/drive). Is there a way to automatically gain access to shared files/folders/drives without logging in to the separate machine that contains the share? I'd like to be able to log into my computer during startup and have immediate access to shared files/drives on another computer without having to log in.
    I don't have a separate server nor a domain set up on our network. I appreciate any help or guidance on this. Thanks!

    you can make the folders you need shared. that can be done by adding them to the shared list in system preferences sharing or by checking the shared box in their get info panels. this way other network users will have access to them without logging in as registered users but you still have to connect to a computer as a guest to mount shared folders. there is no way around that. this procedure can be automated on login. mount a share by hand and drag the share icon that you get on the desktop to login items in system preferences->accounts. next time you log in that share will be mounted automatically. this will work if you connect to a share as a registered user too but you'll need to check the box to remember the password in the keychain when you are connecting.
