Trying to connect using Network Browser, AppleTalk

I am trying to connect to another computer in my office. I go to the Apple Menu, Network Browser, AppleTalk, click AppleTalk and usually the name of the other computer that I want access to appears in the list, the last two days the other computer name does not appears in the AppleTalk list? Do you have any helpful ideas to how I can access my other computer?

Sorry for the two posts!

If the other computer and your computer do not BOTH have AppleTalk ON, and assigned to the same medium (typically Ethernet) you will not be able to connect.
If either computer is losing its PRAM backup battery, a power fluctuation can corrupt the parameters, including AppleTalk settings.
If either computer is upgraded to 10.4 or later, AppleTalk File Sharing was removed at that point, so you will have to connect using IP. You can click on the big button in the Chooser, "Server IP Address", and enter the other computer's IP address. \[The other computer is acting as a Server in this case.]

In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File

Post Author: bhaveshbusa
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
In the ReportDocument.Load method it tries to connect using the using the connection information embedded in the Report File. When the application calls ReportDocument.Load(reportFileName). This
tries to connect to the database using the connection information embedded in
the "reportFileName". This was only realised on checking the ODBC Trace
Log. The connection itself is not a problem. The problem is that the embedded
connection information is related to OLD production system. And failed
connections had raised some concerns.
Note: I am using
SetDataSource to populate the data for the report. So I don't need the
connection.
Is there any way I
can disable this auto-connect?
Thanks and

I need a help in answering one of the issue encountered last week.
I have created a database link and tried to access the information from a table using the program written in another language. The password provided was incorrect for that user while creating database link. So we expected that,while retrieving the data, Database connection has to be errored out as password provided is incorrrect.
But unfortunately, user account was locked out. When i checked with DBAs they mentioned that it tries to connect 16 ports with in a min of time.we were shocked as it STOPS another scheduled jobs with that user. and affects production badly.
As per the program, it has to connect only one time and yesterday we tried to execute the program in DBAs observation and it errored out as expected. Didn't tried for multiple ports.
Now the question is, WHY the database connection established 16 times last week and caused user account locked. DBAs are unable to answer it. Any EXPERTs opinion on this would greatly appreciated.
I have verified managing ports in oracle documentation, it was mentioned that if one port is busy it will try to connect to another port in the range of ports mentioned during the installtion. DBAs verified ports related file and it was blank. and they are not agreeing with this reason. Please HELP me in finding the correct REASON for this.
is it a NETWORK issue or issue with DATABASE SERVER only?
Thanks

Trying to connect to networked lexmark t622

I am a teacher at a high school and I am trying to connect to the networked printers in the school. One of my students who has a laptop running windows XP goes to printer set up wizard and types in \\schs-fileserver\e2groupstudyt622 (would this be case sensitive?) and instantly connects and can print. I have downloaded the driver for the lexmark t622 but cannot connect to the printer. I do not know any of the network information and will not be able to get it. Please help!

On OS X, you should be able to Add the printer in Printer Setup using +/Add, More Printers, Windows Printing, browse to the printer using the same info.
(Windows sharing needs to be on in Sharing prefs.)

Error while trying to connect to network

My powerbook will be 3 years old in about 2 weeks and it is now having problems connecting to wireless networks. It connects fine to the network at my parent's house, and they have a dsl router from verizon. However, a little while back, I noticed that I could no longer connect to the wireless network in my apartment, which has the same type of dsl router (also verizon). I keep getting an message saying there was an error trying to connect to the network. I can still get on to the internet at the apartment if I connect via ethernet but I can no longer connect wirelessly. My brother has just recently experienced the same problem and he has an ibook. He can connect at our house, but cannot connect wirelessly in my apartment.
Yesterday, though I was at my new apartment trying to connect to the wireless network the neighbor set up. It's some router with comcast. I was getting the same error message about being unable to connect and yet all my other roommates can connect fine wirelessly. All of them use PCs, and I wasn't sure if there was something wrong with my airport or anything else that could be wrong with my computer. All the networks are WEP password protected and I'm using the correct password, the computer just will not connect.
Is there something wrong with my computer or is there some information I may be missing from the router? I just don't understand why I can connect to some networks and not others.

I think you just have to keep trying the reset routines. Leaving the device turned off for a spell may be helpful.

Wireless Printer keep freezing when trying to connect to network

I have a HP Officejet Pro L7780 All In One and it keeps freezing whenever I try to connect it to the network via Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer control panel. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software but it asks for me to connect my network through Wireless Setup Wizard which I can't do. Please help me. This is urgent. Can you please try and use layman (simple) terms when replying as my knowledge on printers and laptops are not that great.

Hi @Zo_e178 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you are experiencing connectivity issues. I would like to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then recommend this document on Wireless printing center Troubleshooting Issues.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

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

My n86 8MP are trying to connect to a network ALL the time. Even when i have turned of to NEVER at Tools, Connection Wireless LAN, and Internet connection test.
There is no program open i background either.
What can that be?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you have set the email to check at certain intervals, it will check during those intervals. You cant totally close email app. Once you have configured it, its like a text message, it will work continuously. The only way to stop it is to set the email check to manual.

Finder crashes when trying to connect to network share

Hi!
I've just upgraded my Mid 2012 MacBook Pro to Mavericks, and found that Finder always crashes when trying to connect to my office network share via an IPSec VPN connection. It's a Synology DiskStation NAS, so i have the options to connect via AFP or SMB, however both result in the same, the crashing of finder. Even after i relaunch it, i can't open finder, and can't even shut down or restart my system (only by holding the power button for 5 secs...)
At first i thought it's the result of the latest Little Snitch version, but the problem remained after completely removing Little Snitch.
Unfortunalely i won't be able to try connecting to the NAS on the local network until monday, but i'd really appreciate if someone could point me to the direction of some solution as this way i can't do any of my work.

Just a quick heads up. I finally managed to resolve the issue. It seems that mavericks doesn't handle the MTU of the vpn connection correctly, so i ended up modifying the MTU on the VPN gateway.

Error message "not connected via PPPoE" when trying to connect using airport wireless

I cannot connect to my wireless internet connection using my ibook laptop. Using airport, I keep getting the message "host cannot find the PPPoE" or something like that. Any ideas how to fix this?

Hi, Bob. Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it? ("iBook" covers a lot of different Mac models, each with different capabilities.)
You can choose from this list:

Error "kdc: Server not found in database" on attempted connections using Network User Credentials

I am rebuilding my system after a recent debacle with Time Machine, which resulted in a complete wiping of my Open Directory contents. At this point, users can log into various computers on the network, when the hosts have been reconnected to the newly formed Open Directory and the trust certificate has been authorized. However, when users attempt to connect to any file share, the Network User Account credentials fail to gain access.
I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4 on all systems. Two mac-mini's are running OS X Server 3.1.2. One of these servers (mavericks1.pediatricheartcenter.org) is the Open Directory. While testing the system, I am using the console on "Mavericks1," so the following discussion involves communication between the two server hosts only.
From Mavericks1, I open the console and attempt to connect to my file server, named fileserver.pediatricheartcenter.org. I clear the console just prior to sending a "registered user" request to "FileServer" to gain access. Careful examination of the console records shows the following:
1. The Network User is authorized with a message "ENC-TS pre-authentication succeeded".
2. Mavericks1 lists a console message that reads "kdc: Server not found in database: krbtgt/[email protected]:no such entry found in hdb"
3. Mavericks1 lists a console message that reads "kdc: Server not found in database: cifs/[email protected]: no such entry found in hdb"
4. The process registers what appears to be a final failure before trying again with "kdc: Failed building TGS-REP to 127.0.0.1:64390"
FileStorage.local does not exist in the DNS, nor does it exist on FileStorage.pediatricheartcenter.org. That (local) host name was removed when the domain host name for filestorage.pediatricheartcenter.org was created.
1. Why does the kerberos process reference a host name that does not exist?
2. What might be causing the failed authentication exchange?
3. What can be done to remedy the issue?

I spent some time on the phone with Apple Support on Friday. Thank you to Linc Davis for providing some insights into the issues.
As a result of the conversation with Apple Support we learned the following, which I will report here for those who might find this page again:
First, OpenDirectories are extremely fragile. Once you have turned on your OpenDirectory, do not do any of the following:
Do NOT change the host name.
Do NOT change the IP address.
If you are going to attempt either of these things, you should make a clone of your drive (not just a TimeMachine backup, a fully bootable clone, just in case).
Performing these activities (particularly the changing of the host name) will "break" your open directory, and the only way to rebuild the open directory is first to fully destroy the original. Several services are also destroyed when OpenDirectory is broken, the most notable is Profile Manager.
DESTROYING OPEN DIRECTORY
To fully destroy OpenDirectory, it is more complex than simply turning off the OpenDirectory and turning it back on again. Perform the following steps:
Install WorkGroup Manager (it is depricated, but Apple still has a version available for use with OS X Mavericks to handle functions that the Server App does not perform like exporting users and groups).
Sign into WorkGroup Manager as the directory administrator (user name defaults to "diradmin" the password is defined on OpenDirectory creation).
Export the Users, Groups, Computers and Computer Groups to the Desktop or another safe location.
Close WorkGroup Manager
Turn off the OpenDirectory in Server App.
Delete the Server App from the Applications folder and put it in the Trash. (This will disable any active services that are marking various files as being currently in use. Don't worry, we will restore it from the Trash when we are done).
In the terminal, run the following command: sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver
Make a backup of all website files (just in case)
Navigate to the folder /Library/Server and delete the ProfileManager folder. (If you willing to do so, delete the whole Server folder).
After deleting various folders in the /Library/Server directory, restore the Server.app from the Trash.
Run the Server App.
Set the computer's network connection and host name.
Create a new OpenDirectory.
Use WorkGroup Manager to import any exported files from Step 3.
If you deleted the entire Server directory, use the website backup to retrieve the files that comprise your web site(s) and use the Server App to link the file directories to the Web site's domain name(s).
Personal Note: These instructions got me farther than any other tips I had received previously. After following these instructions, I was able to rebuild my Open Directory. During the process of copying files from the old user home folders into the new user home folders, the computer froze and when it rebooted, all the users and groups I had created during the day had disappeared. Rather than trouble-shooting it again, I decided to do a fresh installation.
A NOTE ON HOME FOLDERS
PER APPLE SUPPORT: Do NOT use the default /Users directory for Network users. Apple Support wanted me to rebuild the home directory, but they noted I was not able to do this, because I had used /Users. This folder ("/Users") is a critical component of the OS X system, and will cause additional problems if the folder is destroyed and rebuilt. The directory id and permissions must remain unchanged from the original installation.
For this reason, Server administrators (like yourself) should use File Sharing in the Server App to create a new anchor point for home directories. Create a shared folder. Ensure that it is shared over the protocols that you will be using (AFP, SMB, WebDav), and then after selecting these values, check the box that allows the folder to be used as a home directory at the bottom of this list. This box will be greyed out if the system is not already bound to an OpenDirectory. If you have activated OpenDirectory on the same machine, the machine will operate as if bound to itself, and this field will be active. If the FileShare server is NOT an OpenDirectory master or replica, then bind the machine to an OpenDirectory via the "System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options".
If the local area network has FileShares that are enabled for home directory use, the folders will appear in the User Profile editor under the Home Folder list (See image)
In the screenshot above, I have selected a shared directory named "HomeFolders". By using specially defined home folder directory, the server administrator has the option of deleting and modifying the home folder if necessary. Creating a home folder directory in a location other than "/Users" is the recommended best practice by Apple Support.
If you are inserting files into the home folders, you will need to change the owner and the group to the new owners names. I copied files from the old user directories into the new user directories so that the users would have access to their old files. When my OpenDirectory crashed, and all the users were recreated, they were recreated with different system level user id's. The system therefore maintains a memory that the file was owned by the original owner, even though the system administrator has put it in the new user profile's folder. To fix this, do the following:
1. Prior to making the copy, run "ls -al" from the terminal on the new home directory root. You are looking for the default folder owner and default folder group. On my system it was the user name and a group named "staff".
2. When making the copy, do not replace the user folder. Copy the files into the file folder, not over it.
3. After you have moved files into the user's folders, you can use "sudo chown -R [owner]:[group] [homeFolderPath]/*" and "sudo chmod -R 700 [homeFolderPath]/*" (replace the [owner] and [group] portions of these commands with the owners and groups identified by the command in step 1, and replace [homeFolderPath] with a path to the user directory created for the specific user.
For example:
For the user johnnybgood, we might see the following:
1. We run "ls -al" on the newly created home folder and find that the folder /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood is owned by johnnybgood and the group "staff".
2. We copy or move files from the old locations using commands similar to the following:
       sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Documents/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
       sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Desktop/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
       sudo mv /OldFolderLocation/johnnybgood/Music/* /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
       ....etc....
       (notice how we are not just moving the old johnnybgood folder to the new location.)
3. Next, we change the ownership and file permissions:
       sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
       sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
       sudo chown -R johnnybgood:staff /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
       ...etc...
       sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Documents
       sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Desktop
       sudo chmod -R 700 /Volumes/HomeFolders/johnnybgood/Music
       ...etc...
4. Let the user log in and use the system normally.

Can't help you there, I'm afraid, and I don't do development since many years back so I'm pretty useless in that area ;-)
However, since the Net layers are beneath OCI in the stack, I would think that if these certificates work at all with Oracle (via some other client, like SQL*Plus), it should work with all types of apps.
But, I believe the Pro* stuff is not all that up to date, so if connectivity requires 10g features, there's a small risk of incompatibility issues.

Trying to connect using a wireless ethernet adapter

trying to setup a wireless connection on my deskjet 3510 allin one tried every solution on spin doctor put nothing worked.
I don't have a router I connect to the internet through a turbo stick. My computer uses a an 802.11n network adapter
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Turning on Wireless Direct:
on the 3510
- press the wireless button (the one with the blue light in it)
- select Settings
- select Wireless Direct
- press OK
- select on (you can choose to use security or not
- press OK
Wireless direct should be on. If you choose security you will want to display the password as you will need it when you connect the computer to the printer.
on your computer
- make sure the wireless adapter is turned on
- search for wireless networks (not sure of your computers operating system so I can't give specifics)
- look for a network with a name like "HP-Print-xx-Deskjet 3520 Series"
- connect to that network (use the password from the printer
- configure your printer driver (it should now see the printer - the printers IP address should be 192.168.223.1)
Assuming that you connected and the printer driver got updated you should now be able to print.
Connecting the computer and printer in this way dows not allow internet access from the the computer to the printer so unfortunately ePrint will not work.

Error 8013013d - When trying to connect to Network

Can anybody tell me what this error means it is sometimes accompanied by a message "cannot find IP address.

Re: Error 8013013d
08-08-2008 05:47 PM I started to get the 8013013D error message when I changed the wireless encryption on my router from WEP to WPA-PSK. I would run through all the settings, input the SSID and the encryption password and then accept the PS3 defaults for the other settings. At the end I did Test Connection and the error came up. I knew the settings I was entering was correct, because I used them on my laptop to connect wirelessly. I tried a few more times, incase I had input the password incorrectly etc but always got the same error. I ran through it again, but this time I didn't select Test connection, instead I did the Turn Off the System by holding down the PS button. When I turned it back on again and checked the Network Settings | Settings and Connection Status List, all the information was there, including the IP address and DNS information. So for me, it seems the Test Connection caused the problem for me. Maybe it will help others. Cheers RDJFC Holy crap it worked!!!!!! thanks! I'm not much of a gamer nor a tech head so you really helped me out. thanks again

Trying to connect, but network status says "Ethernet cable not plugged in"

I've got a G5, and I'm using a DSL modem (with 1 ethernet port) and a perfectly functional ethernet cable that is plugged in. Yet I can't connect to the internet, and according to the network status, the ethernet cable is not plugged in. Any help is appreciated.

I've got a G5, and I'm using a DSL modem (with 1
ethernet port) and a perfectly functional ethernet
cable that is plugged in. Yet I can't connect to the
internet, and according to the network status, the
ethernet cable is not plugged in. Any help is
appreciated.
There are only three things which could be wrong.
1 the cable is bad or not properly connected. (most probable)
2 the DSL device (what kind of DSL device, btw?) is bad or has a bad port or is not properly connected.
3 the Mac has a bad ethernet port, a bad ethernet controller chip, or is not properly connected.
I'd verify that the cable has a good connection, first thing. The best way is to unplug it (at both ends) and then plug it back in.
If no joy, I'd go over to a friend's place with Mac, cable, and DSL device.
I'd plug the Mac into the friend's local net, using the friend's cable; if that works, the problem isn't on the Mac. If it doesn't, I'd take the Mac over to a repair shop or would get a wireless card (if not installed already) and a wireless router and connect wirelessly. Be advised that the ethernet port on an iMac is built into the motherboard, and replacing/repairing that port will require a motherboard swap and will be expensive if you're not still under warranty or AppleCare.
If the Mac works with the friend's cable, replace that cable with yours. If it stops working, your cable is bad. Replace it. If it keeps working, your DSL device is bad. Replace it.
