Unable to resolve local lan hostnames

As a fairly recent Mac convert, one of life's little niggles is the seeming inability of Tiger (10.4.8) to resolve the names of WinXp PCs on the local LAN. I can browse to them fine, set up shares to them, use smbclient to them, but can't ping them or use their names in things like VNC or RDC.
I know I can put names in the etc/hosts file, but that dictates using static IP addresses, which I'd rather not do. I've seen many other posts regarding this problem, but no obvious solutions. Anyone got one?
Thanks!

Hi Praveen,
i am guessing that you have a supernet on the LAN.  I checked the config and saw the following;
Host_Name=MagnaQuestGF
Device_Name=MagnaQuestGF
Ipv4_address=172.16.8.4
Ipv4_subnet_mask=255.255.248.0
IPv4_default_gateway=172.16.9.1
IPv4_Primary_DNS=172.16.9.1
would it be possbible to put up a simple, even 'windows paint' diagram of the network setup, IP addresses and masks.
I am guessing that the PC hosts are in one network and the wireless clients might be in another network, hence they can't 'talk' to each other.
Can you also mention the model of brand and model of the router you are using ?
it would be interesting to also see the network mask given by DHCP to the PC hosts on the LAN.
Sorry for this extra hassle, but adding a picture can be most descriptive.

  • Unable to see local (LAN)_share drive and pc on server 2012

    Hello, 
    we have windows server 2012 and almost everything is working well. 
    we have installed AD and domain controllers but we do not use domain controllers.  we use mostly for RDP connection.
    What we are trying to do is that other users on the same network can see the share folder setup on windows 2012 but no sucess
    they see all other network devices but not windows 2012.... they even see our old 2003 server.
    I am banging my head for almost 1 week to fix this issue.
    and also, the w2012 server does not see any others local share device
    the firewall is disable and sharing is on for pubic on w2012.
    is there a gpo that is blocking it or something else
    the fact that is not is on the same workgroup (but 2003 is on different workgroup and other people can see the see that server )
    any guide or indices because i am out of idea and i am nearly to throw my server  because of that :(
    Thank you

    Sorry for my English and for misunderstanding.
    We have 2 servers only : one 2003 and other 2012 
    2003 is running but rarely used.
    2012 is a new server : AD, RDP Licensing Server and file share server are on the same OS (same machine)
    You also have another server (2) that's running windows 2003 and is not joined to the domain (workgroup only).
    No, it is configured as domain too but not same as 2012.
    Users are bringing in their own devices, plugging it into a LAN network (that's on the same subnet as the servers) and are not able to see the 2012R2 file server but they can see and connect to 2003 server.
    Correct
    Thank you

  • Unable to resolve resource bundle "myResources" locale "en_US" ?

    Hi All,
                        I have created two locales one is en_US and Second one is fr_FR. I placed these two files in locale file. These files directory structure is
                    ......\src\locale\en_US and .....\src\locale\fr_FR . After  placing these two files in the project i was compile my application and it is showing just like unable to resolve resource bundle "myResources" locale "en_US"...  can any one help me how to configure the resource bundle in my flex application... i dont have exposure to resource bundle earlier. So plese tell me the configurations step by step.. how to configure...
                           My resource property name is myResource.properties .
    Thanks
    Ram

    If you have already followed the correct directory structure. Then please check the following,
    1. change the compiler arguments, to "-locale=en_US,fr_FR -source-path=locale/{locale}"
    you can find the compiler arguments, by right-clicking over the project name on the flex builder, properties-> flex compiler->compiler options.
    2. please check whether both the locale properties files uses the correct encoding. If not change them to "UTF-8"
    you can find this, by right-clicking over the properties file on the flex builder, properties->resources->text file encoding

  • Proj cannot run on LCDS 2.6 ES due to "Unable to resolve resource bundle "datamanagement" for locale "en_US"

    hi, all,
    We have developped an application on Flex Build 3 (run
    successfully), but failed when we try to deploy it on Tomcat with
    LCDS 2.5 ES because some components cannot be resolved correctly on
    LCDS 2.5. We then downloaded a 2.6 ES Beta 2, but still cannot run
    the application, the error msg is "Unable to resolve resource
    bundle "datamanagement" for locale "en_US".
    anyone knows how to deploy the application on LCDS 2.6 ES?
    Many thanks.

    In your WEB-INF/flex/locale/en_US dir there should be a file
    called fds_rd.swc. Is that there?

  • EA6300 - Unable to login locally - "Password incorrect"

    I had a problem when I knew my password for sure but was unable to login locally to router. It was kept saying that passowrd is incorrect, try again. I tried to log using http and Google Chrome, since it was working fine when I initially setup it, year ago. I thought my router was hacked so I did hardware reset but this didn't help, I was still unable to log with "admin" password.
    The root cause of problem is a browser, when I get FireFox, everything started to work fine again. I was able to get into Admin web-console and re-setup router again. Just for records -- MSIE is also not supported browser.
    I have resolved issue, and writing this just because this might be useful for someone else.

  • Support DirectAccess Clients from local lan?

    We've implemented DirectAccess 2012 R2 and are trying to use remote desktop and SCCM remote assistance to support offsite systems connected by DirectAccess.
    I can use a DirectAccess remote client to remote desktop to a local windows system, but I cannot use that same local system to connect to the same remote resource.  I believe this may be a routing issue on our LAN.
    I can Remote Desktop from the direct access server to a DirectAccess remote client.
    Pings fail with "Ping request could not find host testhost01. Please check the name and try again."
    Tracert fails with "Unable to resolve target system name"
    NSlookup returns 3 IPv6 addresses for the host
    This is the last piece of the puzzle to have DA working 100%
    Any pointers?  Places to look?
    Thanks!!

    Hi,
    Do you use IPv6 in your internal network?
    If no, it should not be an issue.
    If the intranet is only using IPv4, NAT64 and DNS64 will be enabled on the DirectAccess server.
    Similar to NAT, the DirectAccess clients are hidden by the NAT64. We can't access a machine behind NAT.

  • Cisco ASA 5505 VPN help for local lan access.

    Hi all,
    I am very new to Cisco systems. Recently I was tasked to enable local lan access for one of my server. The problem is this. I have this server with 2 interfaces. One interface to my FTP server(192.168.2.3) and the other to the Cisco ASA(192.168.1.1). Whenever I connect the server to Cisco Anyconnect VPN, I am unable to access the FTP server anymore.
    I googled and found out that the problem is because the metric level is 1 for Ciscoanyconnect network interface which causes all traffic to go through the Cisco VPN Interface. Another problem is I can't change the metric of the Cisco VPN Interface as whenever I reconnect to the VPN, the metric resets back to 1 again. I tried to follow some guides to configure split tunnel but my traffic is still going through the VPN connection.
    Anyone can tell me what I am missing here? Sorry I am very new to Cisco systems. Spent about 5 days troubleshooting and I feel I am getting it soon. Anyone can guide me what else I am supposed to do?
    What I did> Configuration>> Remote access VPN>> Network Client Access>> Group Policies>> Advanced>> Split Tunneling>> Uncheck Inherit and select "Exclude Network List below.>> Uncheck Network List and select Manage, Add 192.168.2.0/24 to permit.
    Really appreciate if anyone can tell me what else I can do to ensure my server has access the my FTP Server after connecting to the VPN.
    Thanks all!

    Hi,
    Try adding the following configuration
    policy-map global_policy
    class inspection_default
      inspect pptp
    And then try again.
    I'm not 100% would you need to perhaps allow GRE through the firewall even after that. (Protocol 47)

  • "Unable to update local resource group" error

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem updating one of my local resource groups in RD Gateway Manager.
    We're on 2008 R2 SP1, and have a gateway in between us and another company. When a user needs to access their computer in the other company, we add the machine to the local group, and the account the AD RAP group, it works fine.
    However, every couple of weeks, it will not allow me to update the local resource group for computers. I receive the error "WMI Failure: Unable to update local resource group" ..and apparently google cannot find another instance of this error happening -
    no results at all - very odd. So the normal fix is to just recreate the RAP.xml file, then add the machines in again, but this is not a good enough fix long term, plus it misses the machines that are switch off when i recreate.
    Also - this will be logged in eventvwr TerminalServices-Gateway  
    "The resource group "MY GROUP NAME" could not be updated. The following error occurred: "23106". To resolve this issue, ensure that you have configured resource group settings correctly and set the correct value and permissions for the RAP.xml file and the
    RAPStore registry key."
    Google also cannot find anything for that error, OR that 23106 error code - I cannot get results no matter what I do. It cannot be permissions as I've checked them, and it works for a bit. I've ran the WMI diagnostics, and they're fine, no different to any
    other server in the environment. 
    I've also checked these forums and there is nothing on there. Does anyone know the relevance of that error code, or where I can check it out?
    Cheers,
    Jon

    I can confirm ..MPIN..'s solution fixes it.
    I had the exact same problem; I'd recently added a new server, and stopped the old server before decomissioning.  Adding the new serer to the TS RAP policy server didn't work and generated the OP's error.
    I removed the old server name (which was not pingable) and the group COULD be updated.
    Really crappy error handling - this is a defect and should be fixed.  A proper error would say "Not all machines in this group are valid, please remove the invalid entries" OR simply allow 'ok' without double checking (after all, the names are checked
    when adding).
    So often we accept shoddy software by proposing work arounds as 'the fix'.  The actual fix is to fix the software to be more descriptive and/or handle errors more gracefully.

  • Unable to Create local Adjustment in RAW

    I was editing my images on RAW when all of a sudden I guess I pressed an incorrect key (yeah you know those split seconds where something happened and you dont know what you did) and now everytime I want to use the Graduated Filter tool or the Adjustment Brush tool and I press on top of the image it gives me the following message:
    ERROR:
    Unable to Create Local Adjustment. All the local adjustment controls are set to have
    no effect on this image
    It doesnt work on ANY raw images now, I tried pressing "Reset Camera Raw Defaults" and it still doesnt work.
    Is there a setting that I moved without noticing??
    At the time this happened I had 6 pictures on camera Raw I had synchronized them and I was doing small adjustments to one of the images, I had finished using the Graduated Filter tool on an image when then all of a sudden it stopped working
    Thank you for your help!! I need to finish this project today and now I am going to have to sit and wait to resolve. Thanks again

  • Unable to resolve resource bundle "fiber"

    Hi all!
    I'm trying to use AMF with PHP in Flash Builder 4 (plug-in version) and I'm having the following error:
    Unable to resolve resource bundle "fiber" for locale "pt_PT". dss Unknown Flex Problem
    I've found a workaround here in which they recommend to add these lines too the beginning of the eclipse.ini file:
    -nl
    en_US
    Nonetheless, even adding those lines to the file, I keep having the same error.
    Anyone knows what might be going wrong?
    Best regards,
    Jorge

    If you're trying to...
    use Adobe's lifecycle/fiber/generated classes/RemoteObjectServiceWrapper
    import com.adobe.fiber.valueobjects.AvailablePropertyIterator
    import com.adobe.fiber.services.wrapper.RemoteObjectServiceWrapper;
    etc. etc., here's what I did:
    Don't add those two lines to your ini file. (At least, I'm using Flash Builder 4 and this wasn't necessary for me)
    import 2 swc folders (Under Properties -> Flex Build Path -> Library Path):
    /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4/plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.dcrad_4.0.0.272416/dcradSwcs/4.0/libs
    and
    /Applications/Adobe Flash Builder 4/plugins/com.adobe.flexbuilder.dcrad_4.0.0.272416/dcradSwcs/4.0/locale
    (the latter has the swc with the locale and the locations of these files will vary, esp. if you're not on a mac)
