Unable to read PC on network

My Mac is connected to a PC running XP through a wired router. For the past year I have been able to transfer files between machines. Suddenly, I can not longer get the PC icon to appear on my desktop.
My routine, would be to access the "Go" menu in the finder; click on "connect to server"; and the "browse". I would then get a dialogue box giving me a choice including my "MShome" which was my PC. Now I get no choices at all.
I have completely reinstalled the Mac's system software. All sharing options in both computers are turned on.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried at the point of the Browse button, to instead type in...
smb://ip.of.pc.num
Has the PC been rebooted lately? Do you have Bonjour for Windows® installed on it? Tried disabling the PC's Firewall?

  • Install Software HANA unable to read repository

    Hello,
    I'm new to Eclipse. I'm trying to get up the trial Cloud environment for SAP HANA. I have Eclipse Juno installed. When I attempt to do an install of the HANA software on top of Eclipse I receive error "Unable to read Repository".
    We do not use a proxy, so network was set to "DIRECT". I can get to the SAP site from the browser tools.hana.ondemand.com/luna. I downloaded the certificate for that site and added it to the cacerts file for JDK1.6.0_45.
    The error message in full says:
    Unable to read repository at tools.hana.ondemand.com/luna/content.xml.
    Using the browser, tools.hana.ondemand.com/luna/content.xml returns a 404 error. If I change it to tools.hana.ondemand.com/luna/content.jar, it gives me a download.
    As far as I can tell, there's no way to make Eclipse point to content.jar. Can someone tell me where this is going wrong?
    Thanks.
    Danny Hearn

    Likely the best support for SAP/HANA would come from SAP/HANA.

  • I cannot get the updates for ipad to download. when it gets ready to process the file an error message pops up saying the software was unable to download and the network timed out. any suggestions...

    i am trying to update the software on my ipad from 4.2 to 4.3.3 but i cannot get it to download. I get an error message that says the software was unable to download because the network timed out.  I have tried to download it 7 or 8 different times and still get the same message.  I cannot restore the factory settings either.  The same thing happens.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  It did this when trying to update to 4.2.  I don't remember how we were able to get the software to update.  Thanks.

    Thank you King_Penguin!  It worked beautifully.  I had turned the firewalls off but not the antivirus.  You are great!  I am new to this apple community thing so it looks like I cannot mark your reply as "correct answers", but it was.  Thanks a ton!

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • Why can I connect to my home network with my iPhone 5 in one room, but when I move to another it is 'unable to connect to the network'

    At home, I can connect my iPhone 5 to my home wifi network with no problems, as long as I stay downstairs.
    As soon as I go upstairs my phone disconnects from the network. I can still see the home network it in the available network lists (with full signal strength), but when I try to reconnect I get an 'unable to connect to the network message'
    If I move back downstairs it reconnects
    This has only started happening in the past week or so
    I've tried to forget and rejoin the network, but this doesn't work
    I reset my network settings on the phone. This worked for a couple of hours and I could connect to the wifi upstairs, but now it won't connect again.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

    Sounds like your wi-fi signal strength has degraded.  Try rebooting your wi-fi router, or get it serviced.
    Do you have similar issues with any other wi-fi routers?

  • PDS - XML format, unable to read special characters in a string.

    Hi All,
    I've been using XML files to create my report with Oracle9i's new featue of PDS.
    Now, I'm unable to read a file if it contains '&' or '<' in the string. In fact, the xml file itself not able to crate a xml page in the browser, if these special characters are present.
    Is there any way to solve this problem ?
    I can't tell the users to remove &, < from the description data. Is there any way to workaround for this ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Satya.

    Hi Rohit and Rajesh
    Thanks for your reply.
    In fact, my problem is like this:
    I'll get data in .txt file and save that as a .xml file in the network before calling Oracle report ,which gets data from the .xml.
    The contents are like this:
    <Comapy name> Ford Motors UK & Europe</Company name>
    <Department> HR & Pensions</Depatrment>
    <Salary>Grad4 < 25000 </Salary>
    As per XML entity character representation, I need to replace '&' with '&amp;' and '<' with '<lt;'
    I'm wondering is there any other way to solve this problem as it is difficult to replace '<' and '>' generically.
    Honestly, I couldn't understand what Mr. Rajesh was trying to tell.
    'for & use & ( with semicolon at the end)'
    'for < use <'
    'for > use >'
    Can you shed some light on this ?
    Many thanks
    Satya.

    Try to install win 2003 server software, do the fresh installation of oracle software, now copy the datafiles and controlfiles to same locations as you did on winxp.
    get back to us, if still not out of the woods. I still doubt that a simple restore would do the trick, since you doing it across different platforms, might be I can be wrong, but this is what I personally feel, you not able to start the database on winxp.

  • Unable to read report metadata

    I have a report from SSRS2008R2 in user in PP2007 which works there properly.
    When I try to use it in PP2010 I get "Unable to read report metadata" every time I try to change the default value of the parameters.
    In PP2007 it all works properly.
    thanks

    After analysing network traffic, I found that Report server returns an error to dashboard designer because a parameter is set as "read only".
    This means that there is a parameter that has been set to internal in the report.
    The important thing is :
    Note: Publishing a report over an existing report on the report server does not overwrite the parameter information.
    To update parameters for an existing report, either delete the report on the report server and republish, or update the parameter information for the report in Report Manager.
    To modify the parameters information, open the report server. Go to your report, and select Manage, then Parameters ( on the left panel).
    Internal parameters appears with unselected textbox for Hide and Prompt. Select Hide and then Apply.
    Go back to Dashboard designer, you can now update the parameter values.

  • Labels printing : "unable to read format"

    Hello
    I have configured a Printronix Label printer as a network printer (Acess Method U).
    Communication test is successfull
    But when I execute a printout I have the following message:
    =========================
    Print request processing log
    Errors occurred processing this print request
    Unable to read format ZDINA6. l_rc = 1
    There may be no printout
    =========================
    Despite format ZDINA6 is properly associated to the Device Type (ZPTXASC4) of the printer.
    Inizialization commands are all empty, as suggested by Printronix Manual
    What am I missing?
    Thank you!

    Thanks David and Lokeswara for your answers.
    Oss did not help actually: I also tried with Postscript type, instead of STDN II, but did not succeed.
    As to ZDINA6 format: it is in use in their old system, same labels, same configuration; a part from the access method, because they currently have a Win NT print server in between that the new system does not contemplate.
    Still a mistery, at least to me..
    Thank you for now

  • I am unable to join my home network after updating my 3gs to ios 5.1

    I updated yesterday to ios 5.1 and now I am unable to join my home network. I have reset network connections, restarted, entered correct name and passwords and get the message "unable to join ____".  i didn't have this problem until the update. Any other suggestions?

    Try power-cycling your wireless router (unplg for 30 seconds, plug back in).  Here's a longer list of troubleshooting steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.

  • This AirPort base station was unable to extend the wireless network.

    I have an AirPort Extreme in the lounge connected to BT infinity.
    I also have an airport express in the kitchen connected to a stereo system.
    I have had this set up for around 12 months.
    The airport express will not extend the wireless network.
    I reset it, restart, factory reset etc and it will work fine for around 3 days, then I get the same error message saying
    This AirPort base station was unable to extend the wireless network. Make sure the wireless network you’re trying to extend was set up and is working correctly, that you entered a matching wireless network password into this device, and that this device is in range of the wireless network.
    The express is situated easily within range of the extreme. And the airplay between those two, my iMac and two apple tv's works pretty much as it should.
    Can someone please shed some light on this?
    Maybe I have it in a wrong setting or summut....

    I am also experiencing a recent failure in my Airport devices no longer extending my wireless network. 
    My Aiport Express and second Airport Extreme were extending my wireless network for more than a year
    The only change that has taken place lately is that the firmware for both devices was upgraded to 7.6.4, however the upgrade was only in response to trying to resolve this problem.  Needless to say, the firmware upgrade did not resolve anything.
    If I didn't know better, I'd have thought I wrote the above. 
    I have a TC from a few years ago (last one before the tower, I think), plus the older AEBS that it replaced extending the network, plus a 1-year-old Express also extending. I had upgraded them all to 7.6.3/4 when it came out, but reverted them all to 7.6.1 when everything went crapways (others having the same issues of the LAN regularly croaking), and didn't bother upgrading again since. 
    Today I just tried 7.6.4 on all of them, and it seemed OK at first with green lights all around in Airport Utility.  Then I made one change, which was to enable 5Ghz on the main AEBS/TC only (the express doesn't need it, and the older AEBS can't do it).
    The latter two started flasing amber and giving the "unable to extend wireless network" error message.
    So I'm wondering if you are similarly using 5Ghz?

    I am trying to log onto my wireless connection but it keeps telling me I'm unable to locate any wireless network.  I know there are several networks nearby. Is this a problem with my phone or my router?

    I found a solution that has worked on both iPhone 4's I have that have had the same issues, and also including not being able to download updates in the App store.
    Go to Settings > WiFi and turn it OFF.
    Next go to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it OFF
    Next go back to Settings > WiFi and turn it ON, (wait a few seconds for it to sync with your network)
    Finally go back to General > Cellular > Cellular Data and turn it ON.
    I had the same issues on both my wife's phone, and my own, and it fixed it immediately without changing any proxy settings or reboots, (which I did try on my phone and did not work, but did not try on my wife's phone)
    Hope this helps!
